Murder Drones Serial Designation N Novels & Stories

I felt his chest press against my back, his heart a frantic, heavy thud. "What is it?" I breathed. "Drone," he hissed. I looked up. High above the mist, a single red light was blinking—a slow, mechanical eye tracking a grid pattern over the cemetery. It was a Vesper eye. If we stepped out from under the stone overhang, the scrambler would hide our biometrics, but it wouldn't hide the physical ripple in the mist.

As they turned to run, the far doors slid open, and a swarm of Sentinel Drones (small, flying combat robots equipped with non-lethal tasers and lethal micro-lasers) flooded the room. "Down!" Kazimir tackled Elara to the floor, shielding her body with his own as the first volley of lasers scorched the air where they had been standing.

Kai hissed. He shoved me back, his arm a bar of iron across my chest. We froze. At the far end of the corridor, where the shadows pooled thickest, a drone drifted into view. It wasn’t one of the friendly campus delivery bots. This was a Hunter model, sleek, black chrome, shaped like a teardrop, with a single, glowing red eye scanning the floor. It hovered, the hum of its anti-grav engine vibrating in my teeth. It turned. The red eye swept toward us.

The moment the vault hissed open, they slipped inside—and the trap snapped shut. A soft whir filled the air. Lights blinked on. Drones. Small, sleek, and deadly. They hovered like insects, surrounding them in a perfect circle. Roman pulled his weapon. “They were waiting.” Eden clenched her jaw. “Let them wait.” She moved first, ducking low as Roman opened fire. Sparks erupted from the drones as they retaliated. Eden rolled across the floor, diving for the server wall as Kessler shouted coordinates through his headset. Everything blurred—gunfire, warning sirens, the crackle of destroyed equipment. But Eden didn’t stop. She moved by instinct. By fury.

And every drone began to move. The street erupted into motion. Dozens of drones surged forward—some wheeled, others hovering low to the ground, their mechanical arms twitching like predators scenting blood. The air filled with the whir of servos and the faint digital clicks of synchronized targeting systems. “Move!” Damian shouted. Eli darted after him as Damian fired two more rounds. Sparks exploded from the lead drone, but the machine didn’t slow. The bullet tore through its shell, leaving a hole that glowed with pulsing red circuitry before sealing itself again.

His fingers twitched slightly at his sides, the only betrayal of the storm building within him. “Subject: Deceased. Adrium: Not detected.” The lead drone emitted a short, shrill beep, and the others responded with a synchronized retreat, lifting upward like vultures denied a feast. In seconds, they were gone, vanishing into the smog above the ruins. Tunde exhaled slowly. His eyes flicked to the crate. The shard glowed faintly in the shadows like a heart still beating.

He might be flagged, but he still had the capital from the lunar explosion burning a hole in his pocket. "Ben, find the serial numbers for these drones. Buy out their manufacturing contracts." "Processing!" Ben yelled. "Acquisition complete! You own the platinum series drones, Jack!" The suppressing energy batons in the hands of the drones instantly shut off. Their optical visors shifted from hostile red to a compliant, corporate blue. "New management acknowledged," the drones stated in unison, stepping aside and bowing respectfully. "Protect the perimeter," Jack ordered, walking right past them. "Shoot anything that looks like a purple tentacle."

The meaning was standing from afar looking at the hanging Mira hesitantly, is she really worth killing? She is eighteen years old. Is this not a crime or injustice to her? I told you to let her go for a while.” Black grumbled, breathing lightly He indicated to the man whose job it was to execute her to stay away from her silently and without people noticing that it would be a difficult situation for him to retreat after he gathered his herd members.. He wanted to utter his words, but he froze when one of his Mate 's guards came calling at high altitude " Alpha the Luna has disappeared!"

I sarcastically remarked. "Well, if you want me to be honest then, that asshole destroyed my last drone, which cost a small fortune." He rolled his eyes as he turned around, examining his drone on the ground. It was matte black with 4 propellers, squaring off the hardware in the center. Additionally, there were several micro cameras on different angles of the body. There was no need for him to tell us it was expensive; it looked expensive. "You know Eric." I walked around the large drone examining it from a few feet away. "I saw a similar drone over the lake back at Crimson pack. Were you spying on me?"

The sky turned a bruising, angry purple. "UNAUTHORIZED ANOMALY DETECTED IN SECTOR NINE. AUDIT-Z IS NON-COMPLIANT. REALLOCATION INITIATED." Four drones, larger and more aggressive than the botanical weavers, descended from the canopy. Their "limbs" were tipped with the same ivory needles that had almost uploaded Mia. "Stay behind me!" Xander roared. He didn't reach for a weapon. He reached for the grid.
