Lore explanation part 1

This lore is kinda dumbed down a bit

Context: L-1 was before L-2, just think of L-1 as L-2's mom or relative or a prototype before L-2. Basically something before L-2 came to be. BTW The one before L-2 means L-1

Yeah I know K is meant to be more a gremlin tease but for now it's just angst for her.

There WAS infact a drone before L-2 named L-1 or L [for short]. Personally, I'll just call her L-1 though. L-1 was the drone before L-2 even arrived, L-1 was more motherly, silent and mute and had the same features as L-2, orange headlights, orange eyes, black male disassembly drone legs, grey casing for her nanite acid, orange acid etc etc and was also a pilot and leader for a squad. L-1 never spoke a word and seemed more compassionate compared to the other drones, she only displayed messages on her visor as a way of communication. L-1 only killed when she was hungry for oil and tried to spare most as she saw the worker drones as "equal". One day, L-1 was simply assisting an injured worker drone as the worker drone was attacked by a previous disassembly drone. L-1 couldn't bear to see anyone in pain and wanted to help in any way she can so she helped them but... one of the rouge disassembly drones had been seeing this.

One of the "rouge disassembly drones" being K-2 otherwise known as K. K was an executioner drone, a drone made to kill all drones, disassembly and worker drones alike. The executioner drones were made by a rival company and sent them to kill their competitors, the disassembly drones. They did, but that didn't last long as they weren't very stable, often getting hurt and having slow regeneration, leading to most dying. K had been the last of her kind as most of them had died previously and with desperation to survive. She seen L-1 assisting a worker drone and decided that she was a target.

K sprinted towards L-1, lunging at her and immediately stabbing her visor, chest and headlights while L-1 had been screaming and attempting to push her off. K didn't care though, she eventually dug her metal claws into L-1's chest and ripped her core out and swallowed it whole.

The worker drone immediately ran off as L-1 had been killed and K just stared at the corpse.

How could she.

K had immediately felt guilt and remorse for doing the deed but it was for her survival. She was going to overheat without anything! She couldn't believe what she had done. From this day on, K internalized that guilt of killing L-1, she rejected her identity as a executioner drone due to her guilt and even swapped out her old clothing for new ones she had found. She had stolen a hat, shorts, shirt and even some dogtags she had found lying around. K even changed her purpose, she wouldn't kill disassembly drones anymore, only worker drones, as they were seen as toasters so there was no need to feel guilty over them. She began accepting her new identity as a disassembly drone just like everyone else.

K had a longing for friendships and connections but knew that she didn't deserve it not after what she had done.

K merely hid throughout her time on copper-9, away from other Disassembly drones and isolating herself out of guilt. What if she did it again? What if the incident repeats itself? All of those thoughts started K and fueled her guilt but... then... huh? More disassembly drones? K mainly sneaked around and only got here glimpes of them. An orange eyed disassembly drone leader and a normal yellow eyed disassembly drone.

Oh god. Is that L-1!? That orange drone has similar features to L-1! Oh god. It can't be her! Not again! Not again! I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO IT! The mere appearance of the orange eyed disassembly drone had scared off K from ever joining that squad. The guilt, the fear and the remorse flooded her mind.
