Nuzi

Nuzi is the het ship between N and Uzi from the Murder Drones fandom.

Pilot
When N and Uzi met, N had to kill her as he was only created to kill Worker Drones like her. When Uzi shot him with her railgun, he could not recognize her, believing that Uzi was a Disassembly Drone like himself. He communicated well with her and even allowed her to put Uzi's hand in her mouth to heal the acid wound.

When J reboots N, he understands that Uzi was not a Disassembly Drone, but a Worker Drone. He began to chase Uzi to the shelter of the Worker Drones. After he kills almost all the drones, he admits that he genuinely enjoyed the time he spent with Uzi despite the fact that she was his enemy. He caught Uzi and wanted to kill her, but he didn't. He began to sympathize with her when her father Khan did not help and left her to die.

N begins to think about the plans of the company "JC Jenson", and says about it to J.

J launches a virus into N, leaves him and leaves saying that he has deteriorated since he does not trust the company. N apologizes to the Uzi because of the situation with her father. Uzi forgives him, pulls the virus out of him, and teams up with him to confront J and V to protect the Worker Drones.

N and Uzi win. In the fight, Uzi supposedly kills J with her railgun, and V is tied up and taken with them to the ship of the murder drones, where they already shackle her with chains.

Episode 2: Heartbeat
N wakes up from sleep when Uzi calls his name. Uzi and V talk quickly because of a strange symbol on Uzi’s visor. Uzi then tells N that his cap is actually a pilot's cap. N asks Uzi if she really wants to kill all the humans. Uzi replies by saying that people sent his group without communication and reformatted all the memories. V laughs at her and says that her story doesn't make sense and that the working drones are only pretending to be innocent. N tries to defuse the situation by pushing them apart, and tries to pat the Uzi on the head.

N and Uzi then climb out of the pod, leave the lair and find Thad, where he says the work drones are disappearing and Uzi agrees to return to the bunker. Uzi, N and Thad go to the lair. Thad, N and Uzi go to where J corpse lays to investigate the recent disappearance of Worker Drones. They noticed a long arm that began to crawl towards them.

N fires a missile at a huge disassembly drone centipede that is the Absolute Solver, and a hand grabs Thad’s leg. N then throws a shuriken and cuts off the creature's arm. But they are repelled and the centipede takes Thad away. N starts to worry about Uzi, asking her "Are you good?"

Episode 3: The Promening
Some time has passed since the separation of N and Uzi. Uzi has nightmares about how she pushes N away (her screen says "Guilt:active" - obviously, she blames herself for this act). After waking up, she looks at the ceiling with her notes and her gaze clings to the drawing N "Thank you for your friendship." This completely unsettles her. The situation is aggravated by the jokes of her classmates, who hint that she does not have a partner for the prom. When Khan takes her notes, trying to protect her from the secrets of the Absolute Solver, she declares that she wants to talk to N - he is the only one she trusts. However, Uzi does not go to N - Lizzie and Doll come, whom Khan invited to hang out with his daughter.

At this time, N and V in the landing capsule are choosing their graduation outfits. N is very worried about the breakup with Uzi, but V seems to care about his sadness. An argument ensues between them and N says that V is not worried about their past at all. She starts to worry about something and asks him with the "purple thing" not to climb "into that stuff". V offers to let her go and live together, killing only those who are needed for survival, but N refuses: he offers to put together everything they know. Having caught the moment, V beheads N and says that it is better for him and he can hate her for it. She flies off to the bunker, taking the dress. Waking up, T realizes with horror that M has gone to arrange a massacre at the prom, and is about to leave when his gaze falls on the suit. He decides to change his clothes before going to confront V.

While Uzi is visiting Doll, she changes into her dress and accidentally finds out that they are going to kill her. Having made a ladder out of broken mirrors, she escapes from the bunker through ventilation.

Uzi and N randomly meet outside the bunker. They are both confused, because they did not talk to each other during the breakup. There is a very awkward scene between them, during which N says he could help, but Uzi is probably disgusted even by the thought of it. She refutes this and, blushing, invites N to go with her. N hugs her and says his catchphrase: "Dapper buddies!". Uzi is angry, but still blushes and smiles.

Coming to the prom, Uzi and N are forced to divert Doll's attention to themselves and open the doors to let others out. Uzi tells Doll that she decided to join forces with disassembly drones because she was tired of doing everything alone. At the same time, she and N look at each other. Doll immobilizes N and starts ceiling fans in them. Then N saves Uzi by pushing her out of the line of fire. He gives her a thumbs up before he cuts it in half.

During the fight, N also saved Uzi several times. When Doll caught her and nailed her to the floor, launching several knives at her, he covered her with his body. Then there is another awkward scene where they dance away from everything that Doll lets them in, after which they work together to disable her for a while. Uzi notices the wounds on N. 's body. She is embarrassed and asks him not to risk it anymore. He wants to tell her something, but notices that Doll threw a table at them and saves her again, throwing her up.

After Doll has been killed, N quarrels with V. He says that she did it on purpose, that she is hiding something and dramatizing everything. V beats N, but they are interrupted by Uzi, who found the key to Doll's apartment.

In Doll's apartment, the trio discovers many corpses of worker drones, as well as Doll's dead parents. V makes a very rude joke about dead drones, for which N condemns her, saying that she sucks. And at the same time, he continues to help Uzi in every possible way, for example, gives her a hand when she climbs over the table.

Episode 4: Cabin Fever
Uzi and her classmates head over to the campsite. To their surprise, N and V are the lead team. Uzi shows a little bit of jealousy when a few of her classmates start flirting wit N. N ignores Uzi for a good amount of time, causing her to unleash the power of the Absolute Solver. Uzi turns into a “Zombie Drone”, which is something similar to a Murder Drone. Uzi attacks her classmates and V, causing a few casualties. N picks Uzi up and throws her in the air, which makes a great bonding/therapy session.

N and Uzi talk about her problems, which make Uzi warm up to N even more. Uzi reaches the ground after getting thrown really high, and N carries her. N and Uzi sleep on eachother, while Uzi accidentally holds N’s hand.

Trivia

 * Originally the ship was known as "Envy", but in between the pilot and Episode 3 "The Promening" the community has pivoted for "Nuzi" possibly because it is more obvious as the ship name and to avoid confusion with an other ship: "N x V"
 * They are the favorite characters of Liam Vickers (creator of the animated series "Murder Drones"). He likes their dynamic and he does not prefer one over the other. At a live event for episode 2 he gushed about them and their dynamic and then followed up with his favorite ship, which he refused to disclose what that was and that we'd eventually find out. This could be interpreted as a sign of N and Uzi being his favorite ship, but time will tell if that's right or not.
 * It is possible that Uzi began to develop feelings for N in Episode 3 "The Promening". She blushed very often when N saved her and agreed to help her. Perhaps her feelings for him have just begun to develop.
 * Between the pilot and "The Promening" fans debated which ship between Nuzi, Envy (N x V), or ThUzi (Thad x Uzi) would end up canon. After "The Promening", fans shifted towards preferring Nuzi over the amount of teases this ship had in this episode.
 * Some haters (not fans of the Nuzi ship) argue about the ages of N and Uzi. Uzi is speculated to be between 18-20 years old (Uzi's missing classmates from "The Promening" are between these ages). N was referred to an adult once on a SMG4 stream. Their exact ages are unknown, but are likely to be very similar since N refers to him, V, and Uzi as all being "kids", likely not literally but rather to denote them all as young adults.
 * In the description of the promotional video for the merchandise for episode 3 "The Promening", the authors called Uzi a tsundere for 2 minutes. Tsundere are sarcastic and aggressive with the object of their affection.
 * Some fans prefer alternative names for this ship over concerns the name too closely resembles an uncomfortable word. These fans typically switch the portmanteau around for Nzi or Enzi (borrowing the En- prefix from the Envy ship) or opt for just "N/Uzi". There's been a recent push for "Biscuit Bites" as an idiosyncratic name for this ship.
