“But I don’t want to survive anymore. I want to live!”

At first glance, it’s sometimes difficult to remember that P is a murder drone. She’s constantly trembling in fright, and she squeaks in terror at the slightest pin drop. But, she also possesses something that the rest of the squad would rather bury- she wears her heart on her sleeve. She might be sensitive, but P is open with her emotions. Her sense of empathy is what allows her to make meaningful connections with other people, even if those people are food she’s meant to eat.

P’s past is just about as traumatic as one can expect, but she never lets that cloud what she believes is right. If she can help it, P prefers to avoid killing workers directly, as it’s psychologically damaging to her. Her free will is a testament to the struggles she faced, and though she can’t see it now, P is far stronger than she realizes. It’s only a matter of time before P unlocks her full potential, becoming an ambassador of peace between murder drones and their more fragile counterparts, the worker drones.
