Uzi stood anxiously in line with the rest of her class, today was a pretty big deal- even Lizzy was shaking slightly with nerves. Today her class was officially old enough to access the compatibility calculator, a machine that scanned drones code to calculate if they would work together.

Obviously, Uzi wasn't expecting to match with anyone, you needed a rating of at least 75% to have a long term relationship, and there's no way anyone would have that with her. She was the weird girl- and better yet- she was considered pretty ugly by worker drone standards.

As the teacher finally addressed the class, he revealed that there was a change this year.
"Instead of a machine, you'll all be updated so you can see your compatibility rating with each other quicker" The Teacher blandly said, knowing exactly what sort of drama this would cause.

Nerves rose again in Uzi, the teacher was tapping buttons on his computer screen, setting up the update. He pressed down to start the download and Uzi began to sweat, terrified as the file loaded into her head. The second it was downloaded Uzi's classmates started frantically looking at each other, trying to find someone who shared at least 50% compatibly.

Thad walked up to Uzi nervously, and quietly looked her in the eyes, a loading screen popped up on both their visors before:

Thad Thadson JR X Uzi Doorman

Interests compatibility: 32%
Sexual chemistry: 45%
Well suiting personalities: 67%

Overall score: 48%
Best Relationship: Short Term Serious

The two drones stood staring at each other, Thad seemed noticeably disappointed, but tried his best to smile at Uzi. "Oh well, not that bad" he croaked, honestly sounding close to tears.

Uzi felt awful, she didn't really like Thad, but the idea of someone caring that much about their score with her made her heart hurt. She was trying to think of words when another popular kid called Thad away, he looked relieved at the chance to go.

Sighing, Uzi just picked up her bag and left the hall, she accidentally scanned a few more people on her way out, but of course nobody was higher than 30%, honestly it seemed like Thad was her best chance despite the unfavourable score.

Without really thinking, Uzi found herself heading to the spire, where she was greeted by V.

"Hey how did the whole 'compatibility' thing go?" V asked, genuinely curious as she and N had become Disassembly drones before being old enough to have it.

"It sucked- also I can't turn it off until I've scanned everyone I know so-" Uzi stopped at a loading screen appearing on her visor.

Serial Designation V X Uzi Doorman

Interests compatibly: 53%
Sexual chemistry: 23%
Well suiting personalities: 8%

Overall score: 28%
Best Relationship: Best Friends

V looked at Uzi's visor and raised a digital eyebrow, snickering almost at the sight of her unwanted calculations "Wow, you really can't control it!" She laughed. Uzi turned purple and tried to leave the pod mumbling a fake excuse about homework, but V stopped her and told her to stay put.

Quickly the disassembly drone raced out of the pod, desperate to test her little theory.

"N~ I know you're out here" she called just before the spire, her voice was song-like. V really was enjoying this. N poked his head out from behind the spire holding a worker drone head, having been raiding the corpses for rations. "What's wrong V?" He asked, throwing the head down.

V grinned mischievously and grabbed his arm, leading him straight back towards the pod with no explanation. N was used to just going along with whatever his aggressive female friends said, so he didn't question V.

When they pot back to the spire, Uzi had her back turned to the wall, and refused to look at N. V took this as her cue to leave, claiming she was just going to make things worse.

"Uzi? Why won't you look at me?" N asked, genuinely worried if he'd upset her. Uzi had no reply, and just glared at the wall- though his voice was entrapping to her- making her shiver as he spoke so gently. "Please tell me what's wrong Uzi, is this about the compatibly thing? Did you get bad results or something?" N asked, reaching out one of his hands to touch Uzi's shoulder.

She felt a tear race down her visor, terrified of turning around and having to face her and Ns score. Uzi had assumed that because they didn't get the upgrade- she wouldn't have a score with them...but after what happened with V- she was afraid.

What if she and N weren't compatible at all? She loved N, and while they weren't dating- Uzi still knew she'd be shattered if the result was bad.

Before Uzi could think of what to do, N wrapped his arms around her body and whimpered, unable to resist from the sweetness and surprise- Uzi looked up at his face.

Serial Designation N X Uzi Doorman

Interests compatibility: 65%
Sexual chemistry: 98%
Well suiting personalities: 100%

Overall score: 87%
Best Relationship: True Lovers

N went yellow at the numbers of Uzi's visor, and she was noticeably shaking as she took the score in.
"I-I didn't think we'd- I can't control it so I didn't mean to scan you!" Uzi claimed, voice croaking as she tried to find words. After a minute of silence N smiled and kissed Uzi's temple, cupping her face with one of his hands. "I need some time, but I'm glad we know where we stand" N said, petting Uzi's head with his free hand before stepping away.
