Vito hums as he and Psi are in his basement workshop, with the human behind Psi, who's on the table; and using his screw driver on a panel on the back of the drones head. Psi's visor is bnk as the Drone sits still on the work table.

  "And... there... we go!" Vito flips a switch on the back of Psi, before smming the panel shut. "Wake up, Psi!"

  Psi's bnk visor flickers on and his white eyes appear, before glitching for a few seconds and turning red. Text then appears on his visor.

  Psi menacing red eyes flicker back on, and he turns to Vito.

  "Everything good?" Vito asks in concern, and Psi gives him a thumbs up. "Good."

  "Vito!" The Father shouts from upstairs. "The bus will be here any minute!"

  "Coming, dad!" Vito shouts back as he grabs a towel and wipes his face. "Come on, Psi, I'm taking you to school today!"

  The Y unit just stares at Vito as it slides off the table. He watches as Vito cleans up a little before putting on his school's jacket. He then slings his book bag over his shoulder and starts running up the stairs.

  "Come on, Psi!"

  Psi blinks and slightly tilts his head, before following after the teenager. Psi watches as his Vito's father tosses the teen a lunch bag, with Vito catching it and running out the front door.

  "Don't cause trouble at school!" Vito's father shouts. "Please." He looks over at Psi. "Please try to keep him out of trouble."

  Psi gives him a thumbs up, before turning and walking out the front door. Psi shuts the door behind him and looks around the neighborhood, as he walks over to the sidewalk where Vito is.

  In Psi's red vision he scans cars, security cameras, cellphones and other electrical equipment, seeing all their blueprints and schematics.

  He then steps up besides Vito and begins looking at all the humans going about their day. He scans them and notices a couple are carrying concealed weapons. He scans the weapons, finding its model and several numbers.

  "Oh. I'm kinda nervous." Vito mutters as he stares down the street at an approaching bus. "I hope none makes a big deal about this..."

  Psi turns to Vito as a question mark appears on his visor.

  ?

  Well you see, not everyone can afford a Worker Drone, and you do look... very expensive." Vito expins. "And while at school, do try to keep your... specialness, hidden."

  Psi stares at Vito for a few seconds, before his right hand changes into a fme thrower.

  "Yes that... please don't burn anyone."

  Psi nods and his hand returns to normal as the bus approaches them and stops. The door opens and the bus driver, a middle aged man with a rge beard, looks at Vito in surprise.

  "Vito, you got one of 'em fancy bot thingys?" The Bus driver asks.

  "Yes, Mr. Bayan." Vito nods as he walks onto the bus, with Psi behind him. "Just got him recently."

  "Looks 'ik a real fancy one. And ya gave it a more human look, nice." Bayan looks Psi up and down. "Well, go sit down, just a couple more stops till school."

  Vito walks towards the back of the bus and finds an open seat in the middle. He sits down beside the window and Psi sits beside him.

  Another teen peers over the seat in front of the two. He's got ginger hair and a pair of rge csses, another drones peers over the seat as well. The drones also has a pair of csses on.

  "I see you finally got a Drone, Vito." The ginger pushes up his gsses. "But it doesn't look like a Model I've ever seen before."

  "Hehehe, well you see Christian." Vito nervously sweats. "I Uh... had to make a few changes to him, he came a bit broken from the factory."

  "Ah, you shoulda gotten the Warranty on him. I'm gd I got a warranty on G here." Christian points his thumb his drone. "He's kinda clumsy."

  "It's not my fault they can't fix my Optical Sensors!" G compins. "I can't see anything without my gsses."

  '...how does that work?' Vito questions in thought.

  "Well, he looks pretty fancy." Christian looks Psi up and down. "I'm kinda jealous, but I'll leave you to it." He holds up a small gaming device. "I gotta complete Legend of Link: The Twilight Awakening."

  Christian and G sit back down and Vito sighs. Half an hour passes and they finally arrive at Vito's school.

  The two stand in front of it, looking up at the massive school.

  Crikey High

  Vito takes a deep breath and walks into the school, with all the other students and their drones. Psi notices many people staring at him, since he stands out from other Drones; wearing a silver wig and casual human clothes. His rather tall height for a Drone and his menacing red eyes.

  This does not bother Psi, as he doesn't care what humans think. Well most humans. The Drone looks at Vito, and sees he's growing nervous with all the attention he's getting.

  But then Vito stops in front of a rge room called, The Drone Room.

  "Well, I have to drop you off here." Vito turns to Psi. "I'm not allowed to take you to css, so Drones are put in here and are kinda told to clean up the school the whole day."

  Psi stares at Vito, narrowing his eyes.

  "Please don't make this hard." Vito opens the door for Psi, the drones waits a few seconds, before walking in.

  As Psi walks into the room a dozen drones turn to him. The door shuts behind him, as he analyses the drones before him. Each drone is a unique model, most looking the same, but a few have clothing or accessories their owners gave them.

  The most noticeable is a drone at the edge of the room with a neon pink wig, and gothic looking clothes. The drone is staring out a window, not acknowledging any drone in the room.

  Most of the drones go back to what they were doing, cleaning the room or gathering cleaning supplies. A smug looking drone, with expensive looking suit, walks up to Psi with a broom in his hand.

  "Well, I haven't seen you before." The Smug drones starts as it stops in front of Psi. "You are a tall one."

  The other drone is nearly a foot shorter then Psi.

  "I wonder what kind of model you are. I'm Designation S-10101XX000. I'll give you the honor of calling me S."

  Psi stares down at S.

  S then shows himself off. "As you can see, I'm the test model of Worker Drones created by JCJenson, and I'm owned by the great Wilboer family."

  Psi raises an eyebrow.

  "Oh, you don't know who the Wilboer's are?" S chuckles loudly, making most of the drones eyes go hollow as they just keep cleaning. "They are the wealthiest family in the area, they contribute 30% of this schools funding. So that means they are practically the owners of this pce."

  Psi looks at the other Drones in the room, they try to make themselves small and unnoticeable, except the neon pink haired drone in the corner of the room. He then looks back at S.

  "So that means, I'm the boss around here." S then shoves the broom into Psi's hands. "So bow down to me, and tell me how great I and the Wilboer family are. And maybe I'll give you an easy sweeping job today."

  Psi looks down at the broom in his hands and scans it.

  Psi looks at S, and drops the broom. "No."Nearly all the drones gasp in shock, even S is taken aback.

  "No? What do you mean, No?!" S grows angry.

  "No." Psi calmly responds, he looks up to his side and notices a camera. A gear symbol fshes onto his right eye, and the camera shuts down.

  The pink haired drone looks over, her white eyes looking at Psi with curiosity.

  S grows angry. "Who are you to say no to me." S pushes Psi. "Do you know what I could do to you?!"

  Text fshes onto Psi's visor.

  Warning Forced Used against Y Unit.Authorized to use force against attackers.

  Psi curls his right hand into a fist and pulls it back. "I said no."

  Psi throws his fist forward, sending S across the room and crashing into a rge book shelf, destroying it. Several items hanging from on the wall crash onto the ground or onto cleaning supplies, sending them flying.

  Everyone Drone stares with shocked hollow eyes. Then look over at Psi as he lowers his fist.

  "Threat: Suppressed."

  The door sms open and several teachers walk into the room.

  "What the hell is happening!" A teach shouts and notices the rge mess and S, who's leaking oil from his chest where Y punched him. "Who did this?!"

  All the Drones point at Psi, who tilts his head in confusion.

  One of the teachers stomped up to Psi. "Who's your owner?!"

  Psi grows confused as he blinks a few times.
