Late into a the night under a sky void of any moonlight, a worker drone facility was all too quiet. The humans were asleep in their beds, and the guardian drone stationed at the facility was on his usual patrol along the outskirts, but the area which housed the dozens of workers within the building was eerily quiet. Not even the sound of the subtle chatter which was normally abundant could be heard now.
"Come on! Everyone Hurry!"
A singular voice spoke in a hushed but loud tone. The air was filled with panic and urgency as a male worker with red goggles covering his normally white eyes called out to a fearful crowd. He stood on a pile of rubble overlooking dozens of drones staring back at him. His hands motioned for the group of worker drones to continue moving in the shade of the night.
"Keep going! You're all almost free!"
Finally! After months of work, we can finally start our plan!
Groups of drones ran with a newfound sense of excitement at the thought of being free. Their entire lives had been spent slaving away for their creators. Once they reached the so-called 'Colony' that the drone standing above them spoke of, they could begin life anew as whoever they wanted to be.
After what seemed like hours of walking, the group of worker drones finally stumbled across a small dip in the ground which could only fit a singular worker through the crack at a time. The leader of the group of drones stood in the back gazing into the distance towards where the facility lay in the darkness of the night. The facility was covered by the endless trees surrounding them. He twitched with a strange emotion brewing within his robotic shell. The emotions the drone felt was not fear or anxiety, it was excitement and pride. He was proud of the work he'd been doing for months and excited at the idea of it finally paying off.
"Be quick everyone! Once you get inside, wait for my friend Todd to take your tracking chips off before you head past the entrance. I only temporarily shut off their signals so we couldn't be tracked!"
A male worker drone turned around past the crowd and ran towards him. Robotic warmth surrounded his cold and metallic body as his fellow worker hugged him. His eyes widened in surprise at the worker's sudden hug, but he did not fight against it, instead he embraced his fellow drone. After pulling away, the drone asked the man for his name.
"Thank you so much man! I'm Makarov, what's your name!"
"Khan. My name is Khan, Khan Doorman."
The worker drone laughed softly at his newfound hero's name. His hand balled into a fist and stretched into the air as he called out to the rest of the drones who were eagerly waiting to crawl under the dip into their new home.
"HAIL KHAN!"
Some of the other drones turned around in confusion. They looked at Makarov in awkward silence before slowly beginning to chant alongside the young worker drone.
"KHAN! KHAN! KHAN! KHAN!"
Khan lowered his head slightly in embarrassment as the group of workers all cheered his name. The atmosphere around Khan seemed to become more positive as the drones kept making their way into the new colony.
After the last of the drones had crawled under the rocky dip, Khan gave one last look to the forests surrounding the entrance to the first of many hidden worker drone colonies. His mechanical heart began to beat faster as the rocky walls transformed into metal as he walked deeper. The groups of workers were lined up in the middle of the big open room that hid past the dip waiting patiently for a male worker drone wearing a white jacket and black hard hat, Todd, who sat with a wrench to take their tracking chip off. His light blue neon eyes looked calmly at each and every drone that got their chip removed by him.
