Murder Drones: MĀ·EĀ·S (AU)
AKA: Messiah Ā· Ephesus Ā· Sodom
This is my first attempt at creating a fan work integrating both novels and comics within a unified world. Fortunately, during this process, my girlfriend has been willing to support and deeply engage in the entire creative journey. Currently, since she does not have an account on this social media platform, I am responsible for posting all the related content she has contributed here.
Any minimal reader interaction means a great deal to us, and all criticism and suggestions are deeply appreciated!
Below is our X account. Thank you for your patience in reading and for your support! (oāæā©)

A synopsis into the series.
What is Messiah Ā· Ephesus Ā· Sodom?
"Messiah Ā· Ephesus Ā· Sodom" is a prequel fan work based on the setting of Murder Drones. In its creation, we have constructed a complete parallel universe grounded in the original workās established framework. The main stage of this story is not Copper-9 from the original, but instead shifts to other human colony platforms to unfold the narrative.
It should be noted that the relationship between this story and the original is similar to the connection approach between Season 1 and Season 2 of Peacemaker: they do not exist in the same universe, nor are their settings entirely consistent. Rather, within this parallel universe, the timeline and core event framework in which the main story of Murder Drones takes place have been preserved.
As the title suggests, the main storyline of this AU is divided into three parts. While each part stands independently with its own protagonists and antagonists, they are not entirely disconnected. In fact, the three parts are closely interwoven through the background setting and underlying plotlines.
This AU timeline is set approximately one year after Earthās destruction by Cyn, up until the official launch of the "Patch Plan" on Copper-9 (around 3051āÆāāÆ3055 AD). The plot unfolds first on Chrome-6 and Nickel-5 of the Gemini colonial system, and later in the Proxima colony of the Proxima Centauri colonial system.
The storyās backdrop revolves around the catastrophic consequences of corporate and cult-led twisted experiments on the Absolute Solver, as well as the conflict between JCJenson and the remnants of governments that fled Earth, fighting for the last vestiges of control over human civilization. This marks the final struggles of human civilization before its ultimate extinctionāand a story about lives born of twisted creations seeking their own meaning of existence.
Currently, the three chapters will primarily revolve around original characters, with some original characters appearing in their younger forms, before they have established the interpersonal relationships and bonds seen in the original work.
In this context, Cyn transitions from a core antagonist into a key background presence closer to an āunstoppable force of natureāāthe destruction she brings is not born of personal confrontation but looms over the entire civilization like a natural law, becoming a shared fate that all characters must face and a crucial driving force as the plot unfolds.
How are the characters everyone loves doing in this story?
Actually, until the final chapter, the characters we are familiar withāUzi, Doll, Thad, and Lizzyāremain unborn. Details regarding the status of original characters and their relationships with new characters will be explained in future posts dedicated to introducing the setting.

If you want to learn more about the background of this AU, you can check out the novel Iāve been updating on Wattpad. Itās a text-based compilation of in-world communication records, emails, video logs, and other documentsāsimilar to ācollectible intel.ā The timeline may span from before the founding of JCJenson to after the events of the AUās main story. If you want to dive deeper, this is an essential resource! Of course, thereās also the possibility that some malicious individuals have tampered with certain records or encrypted them. Plus, the compilation itself contains a storyline that requires piecing together to uncover. After all, in the setting, the identity of the person organizing these archives remains unknownā¦
Currently, updates for the novel will resume next week, and below is the direct reading link:
In times past, before all those familiar tales came to be, there existed another side of this world-one you never knew.

Thank you for patiently reading this brief introduction. In fact, this AU has another subproject that hasn't had its description written yet. Considering the current post has already gotten quite long, Iāll continue updating later, but Iād first like to hear your thoughts: would you prefer the subproject introduction to be updated within this post, or would you rather it be shared in a separate post?
Once again, thank you all for your supportāwe welcome any questions and feedback. If spoilers are involved, Iāll still reply, but will include a disclaimer.
