The narrator said as the audio and the video began glitching out "Following these two steps is key to avoiding--"
The tape has now completely glitched out and is replaced by static. Until...
ZOMBIE DRONES!!!!!
The tape then returns to normal. For the most part.

The tape glitches out once more as we zoom out from a television set sitting in a dump full of
dead worker drones. A bird flies around looking for something to snack on. It took a wire then flew over to the top and placed it down. Underground, a drone awakens.
At the Elliott Manor, N is sitting on the floor in a library, reading a book called "101 Dog Breeds". Where the other drones were frozen with an error 606 was flashing on their visor.
N said "Commonly kept, this breed is known for its friendly, intelligent temperament and soft golden coat!" He chuckled "Golden Retrievers are also-" He comes across a drawing that was placed in the book. "Us as lizards. J drew herself." He tosses the drawing off to the side, then he saw another drone in front of him and continues reading.
N cleared his throat "...are also known for having gentle mouths. Aww...! That's why they're good with kids!" He hears a stomping noise. Books start falling
off the shelves as he sees that someone is attempting to enter the library via a trapdoor... But he thinks nothing of it, flashes a peace sign, and walks out of the library.
As he walked out he stepped on a ball. He picked it up then juggled it. "Snowball! Come here girl!" The dog ran to N. N said "come on girl." They walked off.
An insect crawls over a teacup and begins to drink the oil inside. Then it saw another bug in the cup and was about to leave but..."Stab."
The insect gets stabbed by Cyn. N enters.
Cyn said "You seem upset, big brother N." Lightning show a robot with lots of eyes then it showed a normal drone "Perhaps you'd like to attend the gala with me? Light sip." She tries to sip her teacup, but misses, and the oil spills onto the floor.
N said "Ah... Not sure we're invited, little buddy. Why not just hang with me?" He cleaned a glass and did a trick as Snowball licked up the spilled drink.
Cyn climbs up on the seat "Climbing. Criss-cross applesauce. Am I not wanted, N?
N sighed "Dude... You know it's Tessa's folks." Red liquid, likely blood, suddenly drips from the ceiling and onto N's platter. He wipes it off, revealing a message written on the ceiling.
BAƧMƎИT NOW!!!
STOᑫ IGИORINວ MƎ!!!!
N throws the platter to the opposite wall, trying to ignore the paranormal sign.
N sighed "Don't give me those eyes." Cyn's visor displays a puppy picture.
Cyn said "Giggle. I am so naughty. The flesh demands invitation." Cyn stuck out her tongue.
N said "Ah, we'll ask Tessa, OK? If not... Movie night" he strikes a pose. Cyn held her head then nodded "Sheepish nod." N, snowball, and Cyn enter the room where the gala is taking place.
Cyn was walking behind N as she said "Shuffle. Shuffle. Shuffle. Shuffle."
James said "Western Villa style?! Were you programmed by beasts?!" He tosses a fork into a Worker Drone's eye, killing it as it causes a spurt oil to come out of its visor. Tessa and J are off to the side at a small round table, Tessa is pacing nervously
Tessa said "There's humans coming! I've only ever yakked to robots, J! Quick! Pretend to be a ripping royal stud!" J starts pretending to act all royal and proper lady-like.
Tessa said "On ya, girl." They have a toast. Tessa starts rubbing her arm like it hurts. J looked worried.
Tessa said "I'm right, J." She sees that N has arrived. "N!" She squeals and waves enthusiastically. She runs up, grabs him by his cheeks, and swings him around.
N said "Hi, Tessa." N looks over. In the window, another message is being written.
WHEN U ABOUT
2 FRIKKEN DIE,
SPEAK ALOUD:

Tessa said "Oh, who'd you bring with-" She sees Cyn and narrows her eyes "you..."
Cyn said "Seems J forgot to let me out of my basement time-out again."
J said annoyed spinning the key then placing it in her hair "Yet, here you are."
Cyn said turning her head slowly "Annoyed expression."
N asked "You guys are... locking her up?
Tessa said "Oh... N-"
Louisa walks over "Tessa James Elliott!" All of them stood in line when they heard her "We will not entertain your dumpster pets!"
Tessa said "Y-Y-Y-Yes, mother. Sorry, mother."Louisa sees Cyn "Oh! Christ Almighty! I said, "This one, out of my sight!" Still can't follow simple orders."
Tessa said "NO, NO! Please, I-"
Louisa said "Swamp. Dumping your broken drones, clogging our library tomorrow too. Don't test me." As she walks away. Tessa tries to argue back, but isn't willing to anger her mother any further.
Cyn said "They are not broken. We can no longer be thrown out."
Louisa asked "Did that little Anti-Christ-?" Before she can hit cyn. They saw snowball growling while holding on Louisa's leg tightly.
Everyone got scared as snowball held on tight to her leg Louisa tried to get her off but as she did snowball had tightened her grip as blood dripped down. N said "Snowball! Stop!" He grabbed snowball then snowball let go. Louisa glared as snowball licked the blood off her mouth.
N has now been tied to a tree and is being pecked by crows, as punishment for insulting Louisa.
N screamed "NO! AAAH! STOP!" What sounds like torture is, in reality, N being playfully pecked and tickled in the head by the crows.
N laughed "Stop!" A crow hands N a stick, crowing expectantly.
N said "Go get it, goobers!" He throws the stick in the air but a flying crow snatches it. All the crows on the ground turn to face N with sinister, glowing, green eyes. He glances over at another drone who suffered his own fate at the talons of the crows. He gives a sheepish smile and thumbs up, and the crows begin to attack him.
N said "Ronald, we were buddies!...DarkXWolf17...?" All the crows fly away as two crow makes its loud entrance, performing several sick moves. It twitches and falls on the ground as an orange glow appears in its eye. The crows got back up and turns its head dramatically to reveal a glowing purple Absolute Solver symbol in the eyes. A purple user interface window appears above the crow's head
User ID: DarkXWolf17
An1ma1f1nd3r.
The one with the purple begins speaking "Ugh, we made the tags when we were eight, shut up."
Back at the manor, Tessa is in her room with Cyn and J. All of them are chain up by their legs. Tessa is pulling at her chains, trying to loosen them but to no avail.
Tessa said "J, industrial machinery, chuck us a hand!" J is sitting, swaying on a rocking horse.
J said "Sorry, boss. Corporate's spoken." Tessa said "Cyn! If that little butler dies for your sake, I swear!
Cyn was Playing with some toys "Mm. I have backups." She tossed one and broke an arm off grabbing a bug. Out of options, Tessa gets down to try and reattempts to break the chains herself when Cyn suddenly appears next to her in an Eldritch form.
Eldritch Cyn said "You will not have to discard your pets, and I will not discard you. Best stay away from the gala, though." Eldritch Cyn strokes Tessa's face with one of its tentacles. "You seem squeamish." She leaves. A shocked Tessa, snowball, and J turn to look at each other and an insect, that now has its main body replaced with a doll, crawls out of sight.
Back outside.
N asked "So, these are memories, and future me is dead at a sleepover?"
Ruby said as she was picking up a stone "Not a sleepover. You passed out, 'cause some internal program is trying to delete these memories." N asked "'Cause...'Cause of you? 'Cause you're doing that? Ow!" Rubow drops the stone on his head which falls on the chains around his leg which is keeping him tied to the tree.
Birdzi said "We're helping, you cute, weird, weird butler. We find out what happened to you here, restore the memory files, and save you from being digitally lobotomized." Birdzi and Rubow sat on top of Ns's head and Uzi points with her wing "Library basement, giddy up."
N said "'Kay." He heads off for the library. "You both kind of seem like an evil ghost witches, though.."
Birdzi pecks his eye. "AH!" Birdzi said "We ARE ghost witches!
And we're tall." She laughs evilly then she gasped then shouted "DAD! GET OUT OF OUR ROOM!" Her voice becomes glitchy and she and Rubow falls over into some water.
Back in the present time. Khan has walked into Uzi and Ruby's room, disturbing the hacking.
Uzi said as she put her drink on V "Important hacking going on!"
Khan saidOkay, okay. You've just never had friends over befo—"
Uzi said "Not a sleepover!"
Keybug typed out "IT'S LIFE OR DEATH, DAD! >:(" Uzi closes the door with her Absolute Solver.
Back in N's memories, Birdzi, Rubow and N have reached the library.
Rubo said "Sorry. Where were we- oh..." they were shocked then some papers flew over to show V's unconscious body stands before them, V's visor flashing "ERROR: 606".
Birdzi said "Okay, N, I can pull you out an—"
N said interjecting "Now! Now, please!"
Birdzi finished "—ytime. But, you'll never get these memories back, dude." They press forward slowly.
N asked "They're that important?
Birdzi said "To you! And, like... me."
N asked "Why? Who are you?"
Birdzi said "We just... hang out. Shut up. Repression door."
V's visor still flashes the "ERROR: 606". N hesitates, then relents and pushes V to the side, out of the way as oil dripped down. He removes the rug she was standing on, revealing that she was standing on the basement door. Which turns out to be require a key. Everyone groaned. Rubow said "Really?" Birdzi said "The key..."
N said "Ugh, J has it." They suddenly hear a giggling noise. They slowly turn to see that V is now grinning and has a claw-like hand. Birdzi and Rubow laid an egg in terror.
Back in Tessa's room, J is trying to break the chains with her mouth.
Tessa said over dramatically "It wants paid time off. To attend UUUUNION NEGOTIATIOOOONS!"
J finally reached her limit "THIS IS AN UNRELATED LAYOFF!" In her rage, J breaks the chains and starts punching it angrily on the floor. She spits on it and then looks over at Tessa, and snowball. Tessa gives a thumbs up. Back at the gala hall, Tessa, snowball and J sneak around the second floor.
Tessa asked "How do you reckon we murder us a robo-child, J?"She bumps into a suit of armor. J grabs a revolver while Tessa grabs a sword.
Tessa and J asked "How 'bout this?" They look at each other and decide to swap their weapons.
N whispered "Psst! Tessa!"They look to see that N and Birdzi and Rubow have appeared, crouching. The three were confused. Then suddenly, V's glasses drop from above. They slowly look up to see V in a Solver-Eldritch form crawling on the ceiling. The four, and Birdzi, with Rubrow huddle as a group.
N said "We need the basement key. These birds are from the future."
Crowzi Flies over to J and snatches the key. "I kill you." She snickers mischievously and flies back to N.
Tessa said "Cyn's gonna massacre the gala!"
N said "Who? Our Cyn? Nah, she's cool." Tessa and J look at each other in disbelief. Without warning, V swoops down and splits the group up; Tessa, snowball, and J on one side of the corridor and N, Rubrow and Birdzi on the other side. V tries to swipe at Tessa with her claw but J reflects V with her sword. J said "Do your basement thing. We got the coma patient you creeped on."
N said "Not creepy. Sweet!"V appears next to N and tries to swipe him with her claw, making Crowzi drop the key. V lunges at the key, but snowball grabbed her leg and Tessa picks it up and throws it back to N. V grabs and throws J's sword backwards at N, but J kicks him out of the way and takes her sword back. She rushes towards V, and the two engage in combat. Meanwhile, Lord Frumptlebucket is watching from below.
Lord Frumptlebucket said "Crikey, what aboundin' humphterfruffle!"
Katie asked "Why are you talking like that?" She continued texting
N, Ruby, and Uzi make their way back through the library. They hurry to the basement trapdoor and unlock it when...
Eldritch Cyn pops up "Jump scare. Grab." She snatches Uzi and Ruby, then throws them to the side.
N shouted "DARKXWOLF17! AN1MA1F1ND3R. NOO-O-O-O-OOO!" Eldritch Cyn grabs N by his feet and slowly pulls N towards the basement but suddenly malfunctions. Uzi and Ruby has hacked her way into Eldritch Cyn's body.
Uzi said "Oh, we're in!"She spots V behind N." "...And J's useless. Surprise." She drags N into the basement and Ruby locked the door to prevent V from entering.
N asked "Is V... okay? Like, in the future?
Uzi said "Unfortunately. Now, let's see what that little yellow creep was up— Oh!"They come across a collection of dismembered Worker Drone corpses.
Uzi said "So... That's a pretty... metal origin story."
N said terrified "Not dealing with this great, to be immediately honest...!" He takes a moment's repression. "Okay, it's gone."
Ruby said "Alright, let's get out of here." A rumbling occurs. Back in the real world...shocking the two out of it.
Khan said "Hey, girls, you invite Doll to this—" He suddenly gets grabbed and thrown out as Doll teleports her way into Uzi and Ruby's room.
Back in N's memories...
N asked "Ghost buddy? You okay...? " N comes near to the Eldritch and tries to prod it when the Solver returns its control.
Eldritch Cyn said "Better than ever, "buddy"." She grabs N and tosses him into a chair. "Let's reset these memories one more time." N looks in fear at the tools that the Solver has."
The gala is about to commence in the hall.
James taps his wine glass "Welcome, all! The Elliotts are known for many things. Class, tenacity, currently being alive—" Cyn teleports atop a large globe at the back of the hall.
Cyn said "Well-timed. Giggle."She reveals herself. The hall turns silent when Tessa, Snowball and J barge in through the doors.
Tessa said "EVERYONE, STAND BACK! This is a citizen's murder!" Tessa aims her revolver at Cyn. James and Louisa gasped.
Louisa said appalled "That dress!"James said "You hold that gun less cool this instant, missy!" Cyn uses her Absolute Solver to shove Louisa and James to the side.
Cyn said "Tessa, remember, you didn't have to—" Tessa fires a bullet at her, but Cyn avoids it with her Absolute Solver and instead the bullet breaks a window.
Cyn said "...You didn't have—" Tessa throws the revolver at her, to no avail. She then starts throwing glass cups and a whole tray, not getting any different results. Cyn flashes an unamused expression, then turns off the lights in the room and takes control of all the Worker Drones , including J and snowball as J closed the door.
Eldritch Cyn said "You didn't have to see this."Eldritch Cyn crushes the globe she was previously holding.
Back down in the basement, N hears the screams of the guests as they are being massacred. Eldritch Cyn is trying to pick up some tools to wipe N's memories.
Eldritch Cyn said "Son of a- Come on... Solver of the Absolute Fabric, get a grip." She gives up. "Tantrum." She throws the table to the side. "...Brain blast." She turns to the basement trapdoor.Oh, V. Could use some help in here." Back in the real world, Uzi, Ruby and Doll are fighting over the green keybug.
Doll said "Ты даже не знаешь что эта штука делает." (You don't even know what that thing does.)
Uzi said "You wanting it tells us you shouldn't have it!" Doll said "Ты такая мелочная. (You are so petty.)
Ruby said "This is the only clue to what's wrong with us!" Electric sparks triggers the girls to look over at N, seeing that both N and V have [ERROR: 606] on their visor. Uzi realises that they are in danger.
Uzi said throwing the keybug, it hits Doll's face "Just leave us alone." Uzi closes the door in Doll's face. Doll looks down at the keybug in her hands.
Doll said to Khan "Вы воспитали хороших дочерей, господин швейцар. (You have raised good daughters, Mr. Doorman.)
Khan said "Heh, to spite me maybe."
Doll said "Боже, ладно. (Jeez, alright.) She teleports away.
Back in N's memories, V is trying to grab the tools with her claw but fails, while the Eldritch bangs its head against the wall.
Eldritch Cyn said "Grab it. Just grab it. GRAB IT." Cyn grabbed V "Intimidating glare."
N said "Whoa, Cyn! For an eldritch... uh, monster thingy—"
Eldritch Cyn said "The Solver of the Absolute Fabric, the void, the exponential end."
N asked "...Peep this...?"Using his teeth, he grabs V's glasses and puts them back over her eyes. This allows her to see clearer to pick up the tool.
N said "I got you."
V tried to talk "...Gold...en...Retrievers have..."
N said "Gentle mouths, dude—"
Eldritch Cyn grabs V and holds her up to the ceiling "Cute, false, gross...true. Let's just delete your OS's, then." She prepares to wipe N's memory clean while N looks in horror. "Goodbye, "buddy". Execute."
V shouted "N!" Eldritch Cyn starts to swing a hammer with a sharp end into N's face... But she stops.
Eldritch Cyn said being under severe lag "Wha-What-at i-is hap-pen-pen-pening?" Uzi and Ruby regains control.
Uzi said "U-ugh, so-r-ry. My freaking dad's stream— WHOA!" She accidentally hits N with the blunt part of the hammer. Ruby said "Whoops!" Ruby releases V and she falls to the floor. N helps her up.
N asked as he looks over at Uzi and Ruby "Uzi? Ruby?"
Uzi said "Don't freakin' dox me!"
N said "Thanks."
V said "You little narc! Get out of my head!" N and V wake up in Uzi and textingz room, back in the real world. Uzi chuckles devilishly as she turns around in her chair to face them. Ruby smiling normally. They dropped the smiles when V threatens her with a chainsaw.
Outside, Doll teleports back out to the winter wastelands, where she meets J, Snowball and Tessa.
Doll said "Вот ваш ключ." (Here's your key.)She throws the key to Tessa. "Возьми меня с собой. в этом сделка—" (Take me with you. That's the deal—) Tessa shoots her, but misses, probably due to Doll's Absolute Solver.
Tessa said "...Just checking. Let's go." They turn around... And come face to face with Uzi, Ruby, N, and V.
Everyone said "HUH—" the credits rolled.
