Pilot

MURDER DRONES (PILOT) is the pilot episode of the upcoming web series Murder Drones by Glitch Productions.

Synopsis
Uzi gives exposition about the Worker Drones, the elimination of biological life on Copper 9, and the arrival of the Disassembly Drones by orders of JCJenson, their parent company. In the present day, Uzi presents her slideshow and her railgun, much to the horror of her peers and the apathy of her teacher, who points out that the homework was a word problem on buying watermelons and that her repressed emotional baggage was only worth 2 points on the rubric. The railgun ends up malfunctioning, causing an explosion.

Later, Uzi is in the sickbay after the accidental explosion, where she talks to Thad about her plan to sneak to the Corpse House and find the last part for her railgun. Thad questions if it is necessary, seeing as Uzi's father, Khan Doorman, built doors specifically so they didn't need to do that "emotionally repressed stuff". Uzi seems to get angry at Thad, then leaves, clarifying she is not angry, just generally hormonal. At 3 AM, she gears up and steals the master door key from her dad's office. Uzi tries to sneak out but is met by her dad, who asks why she is there. Uzi lies by saying she wants to examine Door 1 as help for a school project, and is let out, after which Khan exclaims, "They grow up so fast..."

After she sneaks out to the Corpse House, Uzi finds the component she needs but is attacked by N, who impales her hand with his nanite syringe and throws her against a wall. Uzi successfully ends up shooting N's head off with the railgun, but his head reassembles. In desperation, Uzi smacks N's head with a severed robot arm. N boots up blind and amnesiac, then responds, "Did you just slap me with that arm?" to which Uzi, who did not know Murder Drones could communicate, bluntly stated, "Holy crap, it talks."

Due to his optical sensors being offline, N mistakes Uzi for a new member of his squad, commenting on the fact that she's a bit short for a Murder Drone. He heals Uzi's wound with his saliva, then talks about the other two members of his squad, J and V. Uzi realizes that the landing pod is a spaceship and questions if N knows what JCJenson will do with the Murder Drones after the workers are all killed. At this point, J and V arrive, and Uzi flees the Corpse House.

J reboots N's system, and he realizes that Uzi had escaped with the railgun. N pursues Uzi to the colony and manages to get the doors open, slaughtering some of the WDF. Uzi runs into her dad, who is horrified at the state of the doors above all else. N interrupts and impales Uzi against a wall, dropping the railgun at Khan's feet. Uzi begs her father to shoot, but instead, Khan backs away and closes off the area, leaving Uzi disheartened. N is so shocked at the betrayal that he decides to spare her life, hiding her behind boxes when his cohorts arrive. As J and V congratulate N on getting past the doors, N is surprised that V actually remembers his name. After V goes hunting down the rest of the workers, N expresses some of his doubts about JCJenson, which prompts J to infect him with a virus, saying that the workers are corrupted and sarcastically commenting that she hates to see N corrupted too. After J departs, Uzi reluctantly pries the virus out of N's body and teams up with him to stop the other two.

At the evacuation spot, Thad attempts to rally the WDF to fight the Murder Drones, but nobody helps. V impales Thad and is about to kill him before Uzi yells at her to "Put that conventionally attractive male down!" N also chimes in, saying that he wished J wasn't so mean to him, but clarifying it as constructive criticism. The two split, Uzi facing J and N fighting V.

After the fight lasts for a while, J uses an EMP to incapacitate Uzi. At this point, N and V are sword-locked. N looks down to see Uzi on the floor, says “I’m so, so sorry, have fun repressing this!”, and licks her sword, grossing her out. N uses the distraction and downward kicks her to the ground. Meanwhile, J monologues to Uzi who then stabs J with her tail in her leg, causing her to panic and fall over. Uzi grabs her Railgun and then obliterates J's top half of her body, seemingly killing her.

After the two Murder Drones are defeated, the workers celebrate, but Uzi is still angry at her dad for abandoning her to die. She ends up banishing herself from the colony, and she, N, and a captured V depart while Khan drinks in a state of regret.

Near the end, Uzi is seen sitting on a broken car staring at the sunrise. N stands inside the Corpse House because sunlight would kill him, calling out to her about how he hopes she's "having important character growth or something". Uzi says she's just thinking about killing all humans and starts laughing maniacally as her eyes flicker yellow. The episode ends as the camera zooms out to show three other pods flying towards Copper 9.
