[Activating unit 64, Welcome to the colony]
-ven here?...What?...I can see now?. Oh?. I have a name too?. 64...I wonder what's that mean.
[Unit 64 fully operational, deporting unit from factory]
My body suddenly moves forward unconsciously as I feel some kind of invisible force pushing me out of the small chamber and locking me out of the place, as I turn around to look at the chamber where I came from, a transparent panel pops up in my view.
[Factory 2, Main Colony]
[Status: Busy]
I was born from a factory, and I am a Battle Drone without a mission nor any objective yet, for a few seconds I'm just standing motionlessly and staring at the factory to scan it, then I look down at the ground around the factory and scan it too, but nothing pop up, it seems like I can not scan that.
'Unit 64, assignments. Go and do it.'
I turn around quickly after hearing someone pinging me through the network relay system.
[Google Nexus 1, Overseer, Main Colony]
[Status: Busy]
[/New_objective: Move to the satellite colony and defend it.]
My data drive tells me Nexus 1 is the boss of this place, and I should not disobey my boss, I should go to the marker and do what he told me right now.
As I walk around the colony to get to the transition tunnel that connects the 2 colonies together, I met and greeted a lot of my siblings, some of them does not answer me, but most pinged me in return, it seems like I am placed fourth in the chain of command, just behind the Command Drones who is like my older siblings, but I am also placed in the bottom of the priority chain. My makers expected me to be the first to respond and defend everyone and the colony when it is under attack even if total destruction of the hull is the cost of it.
I don't really mind it, everyone seems to have their own duty and do their best to complete their given objectives. General Purpose Drones seem to be the busiest of all, they do almost everything in the colony and help everyone, they even gave me directions to the second colony without needing me to ask first.

After I crossed the transition tunnel and arrived in the satellite colony, I meet my maker, my maker does not seem very impressive, his hull is made out of hot rocks or something, his internals also seems lacking too...But whatever, he is my maker, and I should not interfere with my maker's work. For now, I'm just gonna come to the edge of the satellite colony and stand guard.
...
I have been guarding this place for six hours, and all I can see is cold tunnel, hot colony, and cold tunnel, what am I supposed to defend the colony against?.
Oh?. This thing?. What kind of robot is this?...It's not a robot?. It's a what?...I'm not stupid!. Ok maybe I am a bit stupid, what am I reading?. What?...You won't tell me?...Okay...
[Unit 64, return to Factory A1 in satellite colony to receive modules.]
Oh?. I get new stuff?. Okay...Why is my maker running around, though?...Oh?...I will get things to shoot at?...Okay.
[Tactical Light Ordnance Module received: Ammunition 70/70]
[Tactical Light Ordnance Module received: Ammunition 70/70]
[External Mini Data Processing Module received]
[Exterminal Mini Magical Energy Reactor received]
[Module slots full 4/4]
I look at the new parts easily attached to my body as I receive a new order, and as usual, I immediately execute it as I return to my post with my Battle Drone siblings. They've got new parts too, maybe we are going to shoot a lot today.
[Targets_detected]
[Locking_targets]
Oh, there have more things to shoot at than I thought, there have 1 2 3 4 5...I lost count of how many things are there to shoot at, why can't I shoot at them yet?...Oh?. I can't just shoot anything I see?. Okay.
[/Engagement_protocol: Weapon free]
As all targets become green, I and my siblings begin shooting at everything in front of us, there have so many bright lights coming out from the muzzles, so pretty...What?. I am shooting at them, I just killed one of them, see?
[Unit 64 has defeated Evolved Hivewarrior | +360XP / 60% EXP has been transferred to Pioneer 0]
What?...Oh?. I shouldn't mind that and just keep shooting?. Okay.
Thing on the left, shot, thing on the right, splattered, thing on the ceiling, deleted, thing in front of me, terminated. This is fun. I got 14 kills so far, 1 kills higher than my Battle Drone sibling next to me.
The Maker is also shooting at the things as well, I am not going to lose to my Maker, I will shoot more and delete more threat than everyone!

[Ammunition depleted]
[Ammunition Resupply Requested]
Oops, I did not count my shots...And thank you, General Purpose Drone number 40, I now have more ammo to shoot, remove all the threat!.
[Unit Number 64 leveled up]
[Unit Number 64 is now level 2]
Oh?. I leveled up?. What does that mean?...Irrelevant?. Okay. I will continue to remove all the threats I can see then.
One for you, one for you, one for you, oh?. Not enough?. Have 10 then. Threat deleted. This is much better than standing guard, I am going to remove more.
[Unit 64 leveled up]
[Unit 64 is now level 3]
Thanks, General Purpose Drone unit 39 for refilling my ammo racks, I can now remove more threats, how much threat has I deleted, though?...40?
Oh, this one is tough, please have 30 rounds in your face and die, oh?. Not enough?. You want more?. How about 900000 volts of electricity?. Have enough?. No?. How about 20 more rounds?. Oh...My sensors are covered with red liquid and brain matters, I can't see!.
Thank you, General Purpose Drone number 42. I can see again...And there has no threat left to remove...Yes, Maker, I will move forward and stand to guard this place.
The maker has left the place and the General Purpose Drones are coming out to pick up the motionless body parts that we Battle Drones splattered moments ago, better guard the place carefully to protect them then.
...
Oh, more Battle Drones, hello, siblings, are you here to remove threats?. There has no more threat to remove at this moment, though. We already removed them...Oh?...More are coming?. Good, good!.
Hello Mobile Nanite Construction Drone, thank you for the maintenance,
I will remove more threat for you, they won't come past me, promise!.
The Maker has returned too, and he is building more facilities, hello Armoured Arc Tower, hello ammo crate...Oh?...Ammo crate can't talk back?...Okay. I will just wait for the General Purpose Drone to load the ammo crate into my ammo rack then.
[Alarm: Incoming threat, all Battle Drones prepare for combat and remain in your battle stations!]
Just as my ammo racks got refilled, I receive the order to return to the line with my Battle Drones, once again I am in the front line, first to remove threats and more targets to shoot for me!.
[/Targets_detected]
[/Locking_targets]
[RoE: Hold fire until further notice]
Eh?...Save ammo?. Okay. I will hold fire...I will hold fire...I will hold fire...Can I fire?. No?...Can I fire?. No?...Can I fire now?. No?...Can I fire now?
[RoE: Weapons free]
Firing!. One for you, three for you, one for you, one for you, one for yo-
Oi, who do you think you are to spit pointy things at me?. I'm the one who shoots big explodey things at you!. Here take 40 rounds!
[Unit 64 defeated Evolved Hiveranger. | +1500XP / 60% EXP has been transferred to Pioneer 0]
[Unit 64 has leveled up]
[Unit 64 is now level 4]
Oh, another spitter, spit this!. Oh...It's head exploded...So that is its weak point?...You just know about that?. Okay. Let shoot them in the mouth then.
The threats seem much stronger than before, my Battle Drone siblings are having a hard time deleting them, especially the big spider with pointy things on its back, it can launch big pointy ice at us, some of my siblings are destroyed by it, come here!. I'm not afraid of you!
Here, have all my ammo!. And 40% of my battery power!. Not enough?. Have another 40% then!. Just die already!
[Unit 64 defeated Greater Hivewarrior | +8000XP/60% EXP has been transferred to Pioneer 0]
[Unit 64 lived up]
[Unit 64 is now level 6]
Finally, now I have t-
[Leg assembly invalid]
[Unit critically damaged]
One of the threat has ripped my upper body apart, I can see my legs from here!
I'm not gonna go down like this too, take this!. And these last few rounds!.
[Unit 64 has defeated Evolved Hiveravager | +720XP]
[Unit 64 has leveled up]
[Unit 64 is now level 7]
[Warning: Reactor destroyed]
[Warning: Low power]
Oh well...I tried my best. I completed my objective, perhaps its time for me to shut down and wait to get recycled.
[...]
The power relay facility is keeping my battery alive, it seems like I am not out of hope, my Arc Projector is still operational, perhaps I can try to shock any threat that walks past me.
[All unit alert, Electron Barrage is in effect]
[All unit alert, Energetic Star Artillery is in effect]
It's the Maker, the maker has returned. And the Maker is doing something.
[Warning: High voltage stasis field detected]
Just right before one of the threats about to finish me off, a blinding storm of lightning strikes down the threats and burns them alive, followed by giant balls of electron disintegrating the survivors of the first strike.
[/Warning: CPU damaged]

8 178Jodha's Jalal (The Mughal Saga I)
"Mark my words, Champavati, Queen of Amber, your daughter, Princess Jodha will be wed off to the Mughal household!"A fortune teller had warned Queen of Amber, about her daughter's marriage to the Mughal; but being a Rajput Queen she knew how much hatred they held towards the Mughals and so she tried to sweep the thought out of her mind. But who can erase what is already written! Destiny created man and Jodha's destiny was attached to the Mughal Empire. This is the story of Princess Jodha of Amber and her husband, the Emperor of Hindustan, Jalal-uddin Muhammad Akbar.~A LITTLE BACKDROP TO THE HISTORICAL ACCURACY OF THE STORY:*This story is fictional. Emperor Akbar did rule India from 1556 to 1605 but he did never marry a woman named Jodha. His first Rajput wife and mother of his heir was Harkha Bai from Amber. In eighteenth century, a British official messed her name up when he first mentioned her as Jodha and then the name became even more popular because of mainstream media. This story does not intend to hurt any religious sentiments, it uses the name Jodha however because common people today know of Emperor Akbar's chief Rajput wife as Jodha Bai*Highest Ranking#1 in Jodha - August 6, '21#1 in Akbar - October 16, '21#1 in 16th - October 16, '21#1 in Jalal - November 14, '21#1 in Mughal - November 14, '21#2 in India - November 14, '21#1 in Princess - December 17, '21#1 in Historical Fiction - December 22, '21#4 in Century - January 5, '22#1 in Empress - May 17, '22
