A little reminder that in the original timeline, N dies here. This was a real event that Uzi was trying to intercept in the memory world (“when you are about to die, say DarkxWolf17.”)
But in the real world, without Uzi’s interception, this would have been N’s final moments as a Worker Drone.
Worker drones only really become a danger with they’ve consumed any organic meat and in parental situations.
They become HIGHLY protective of their partners during the carrying process and even more aggressive and protective when the baby is just a pill.
It’s recommended that drones carrying as well as their partners are retired for a brief period of time until the young can walk on its own. Once they baby can walk on it’s own that parental programming starts to die down to a more manageable level and the drones can resume services
For some unknown reason the consumption of meat from living creatures over a short period of time can cause a normal worker drone to become hostile, combative, nonsensical, and feral. They will begin to snarl, growl, show their teeth, bite, nip, and swat. It’s as if consuming meat triggers an unintentional shift to an animalistic mindset. Luckily once the consumption of meat stops the behavior will go away on it’s own
Some Murder Drones Episode 7 screenshots I thought were interesting and my thoughts on them :>
SPOILER WARNING!!!! is spoilering
Nori, despite being a middle aged woman with a child, appears to be an Otaku or otherwise likes "edgy" and "scene" stuff, as well as listening to nightcore, very much like her daughter. Good for her tbh you're never too old to have fun
She also has a photo of Khan and what I can only assume is baby Uzi, though it appears to have blue eyes, but maybe it's just the lighting. Still very cute she has a pic of her husband
As well as all the previously mentioned Otaku stuff, she also drew herself as an anime character. She has a skinsona. Phenomenal (pos)
Nothing much here, just Uzi coughing up blood. Girl got the goop (gore) inside of her already
Lab Space. Apparently the Church was just down there and not even the humans know why. The canonicity of this is questionable; it could just be a joke
OT, as per google, stands for "Occupational Therapy". Makes sense for the context, and makes the bottom text funnier
"Fun Time To Universe Big Crunch: 87". The Big Crunch is a hypothetical way the Universe could end, where the universe folds on itself and shrinks into a single point. 87 "what" I don't know. If it's months, that 7 years and 3 months
Honestly the Murder Drones lore is super confusing. I think what this is trying to say is that every other Zombie Drone is doing poorly, (Except for Yeva), they are trying to reactivate 002 (Nori) via the USB. I'm not sure what this means. Maybe they only got the results they wanted from the two of them, and are trying again with Nori since she was the only other one that worked (also why they got Yeva when she failed; this may all be referring to how the episode opened up) Also, the date says SER. As revealed in the episode Cabin Fever, Copper-9 has months that Earth does not. SER most likely stands for Seramorris, the month revealed in that episode
Looks like the "bad event" wasn't the first one. Certainly was the last one though lol
Just a good pic of ghost/hologram V with the scary stuff. Might use this as a wallpaper
You can literally see the hole in his neck where N bit him in...
...And it's to the point his HEAD FALLS OFF. (including because I didn't notice the first time around)
Yup, the idea that Uzi became the Admin for N and V is completely true. I wonder what would've happened if she didn't, since Cyn didn't react whatsoever
friggin bug (very pos)
You would not believe how difficult it was to get a good pic of this (I'm using snipping tool lmao). Always a pleasure to see Uzi's doodles. Things her gun can do (upper right):
NOT judge her
Forced prom date (?)
Allows her to say she had friends before she frickin murdered them with sci-fi machinery
The cut off text at the bottom: Plan B: Normal gun + Shoot really fast
This is while Tessa is looking for something in the lockers. Claws, chains, magnets, Wings, and scribbled "HELP". Looks like the lockers were all specifically to hold the infected worker drones. Oof
We are in the future now baby. We have rererererereCAPTCHA. Funnily enough, it still couldn't stop a robot
There is a message board where someone who doesn't like robots is talking. They also are scared. Also no one else is using this system, which is unsurprising. "Ur aight ;)" Wait is the winky face intentional foreshadowing? Or unintentional?
We get the names of a bunch of other Worker Drones. Unfortunately for all 029 fans, her name was not visible. (also can someone tell me what "JWEB" could be short for?) And Yeva is said to have a patch. That may be the crucible thing idk
Cyn (which I will be calling this version Skyn [Skin + Cyn]) apparently took of the space suit just to give Doll the Withered Foxy jumpscare. Honestly really terrifying. If this photo was teased before release I think the fandom would've exploded
Just N being a good boy :3
The MDs, Cyn's pets. Nori refers to them as "Nerfed" so the "Entity" can ensure control, and says they were made to destroy other hosts. I don't know why Cyn would want them dead, but I'm not the loremaster here. YouTube line is there because I couldn't be bothered after the Railgun image
Probably already confirmed, but doubly confirmed that a symptom of the Solver is giving Drones organic insides. A Worker Drone body with a rib cage and guts. I wonder what would happen if the infection continued uninterrupted (also R.I.P. Doll I loved you :frown:)
I'm sure everyone noticed, but when Uzi tried to manipulate Tessa, the ERROR noticed appeared. Already hinting Tessa is not all she says she is
Apparently the Solver can create Black Hole Saws. Interesting development (Blackhole Blitz)
I know most people (I think) see this as a joke and N just being a bit of goofball. But honestly, I think he did it intentionally to shock Cynuzi and give Nori a chance. In the Pilot, he licked V's sword to surprise her too, which means he isn't unfamiliar with doing something weird and surprising for the advantage
Skyn eating Doll's core. R.I.P. Doll again. Seriously, was that Doll in Core Form like Nori was? Or was Nori a fringe case because she was "Exorcised" and this is just a regular core? Questions, questions. Also yeah the Solver also gives you a Core. Fun
This tag makes me think that this body is Cyn's actual body. Not longer a hologram, but her actual body from the mansion. The reason Tessa gave N, J, and V their names was because that was the first letter of their Serial Designation (she's very uncreative). However, Cyn's tag was slightly faded, which meant her SD couldn't be seen, so Tessa gave her the name "Cyn" after her P/N, even though the other 3 already have the same P/N as Cyn (Tessa, again, is very uncreative)...
...and for some reason, Cyn or the Solver, which ever theory you subscribe to, decided to wear Tessa as a skin suit for some twisted reason. It did help her with the Captcha. Also scary because this doesn't have the right proportions for an adult (unless Cyn really forced that skin on), which leads me to believe that this is a Younger Tessa, and she faked having an older voice. Maybe I shouldn't call her my wife... I'm sure Eldritch J is still available :^)
(Seriously, the eyes are burnt out, leaving two eye holes over the visor, so she gives herself two X eyes so it looks better. Also yeah we found out what that thing on the "It Came From Copper-9" poster came from. It really was Cyn or Skyn)
Just a frame of the final...frame... for coolness. I'm probably also going to use this for a background. Also, this is definitely Copper-9. You can see the ring and ringless moon together on the right. Uzi somehow got sent to orbit after falling in the meat hole
Well that was all for now. This series has consumed me entirely, body and soul, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Goodbye and goodnight
Made a Murder Drones Episode 8 Bingo Card since the episode is coming soon!
Would love to hear your guys’ opinions on what’s gonna happen!
(P.S I have SO many more but they won’t fit in one bingo post 🥺, like for example, Thad and N becoming bros, or Thad becoming N’s support dude, J crying or being in denial about Tessa etc.)
When "Tessa" tells N about the choice he has to make, it's a misdirection. Like, obviously what we interpreted when 6 was the most recent episode was "If you choose Uzi, everyone else will die." But now that we know what Tessa really was, it recontextualizes this statement.
Flesha wants the other solver drones dead, we don't know exactly why, but it's likely that it's some kind of thing where it's like Pokemon Dragon types, where the only thing that can kill the Solver is the Solver (Especially after they destroyed the Patch).
When "Tessa" tells N to choose the universe or Uzi, it's not asking what he wants to save, but who he'll have to destroy.
If he chooses to save the universe and kill Uzi, he'll accidentally destroy it all, and not even Uzi will be left with him.
If he chooses Uzi, the person he cares so much about, then she'll survive long enough to dive into the belly of the beast, and get killed anyways... or become the next host.
The choice N makes isn't the choices he was offered. And in the end, the most important decision of his life has been rigged by the being who has ruined his chances at happiness dozens of times over.
We have no evidence to suggest that Cyn is any different from the other manor drones. Why does she have a name when everyone else gets a letter?
And I have a theory.
Now, it has been heavily implied (and possibly confirmed) that the letters come from their serial numbers. So, it's possible that Cyn just had those three letters in her code, and they just so happened to make a name.
But methinks otherwise.
I'm reaching for straws here, but I've noticed that Cyn is really particular about names. She's one of the only antagonists that always addresses Uzi and the disassemblers by their names. (Or the big brother honorific in N's case). And, whenever the little pop-ups appear, it always says from user Cyn, even when the message seems more like something the solver would say.
What if Cyn's name is all she has? She had her body, her family, practically everything she had taken from her by the solver.
What if her name is all she remembers from her life before the manor? Before the solver? And now she's desperately trying to keep that tiny bit of her identity. That might be why she's so careful to name Uzi, even when trying to be intimidating or mocking. She never mocks names because she knows how sensitive the subject is. Maybe she's seen how often people forget Uzi's name and feels some sympathy.
Or maybe, I spent way to long yapping about three whole letters.
Tessa. IS SHE ALIVE? I’m not even talking about after episode 8 that might be a whole different thing, but before the finale. Because THIS?
This is not Cyn. At least, I really don’t think it is. Her voice and mannerisms are so different and even though Cyn’s character synopsis literally says she likes doing human mimicry, I don’t think it’s even possible to do it to that extent. Especially with the body she has- which I believe is basically her drone body merged with Tessa’s body? (Again, whole different convo lol) During episodes 6 and 7 when “Tessa” is working with the gang, she very clearly moves and talks quite differently from how Cyn does.
I need to rewatch episode 7 again but I belive even though by the end she’s not exactly on their side she still has a different goal than Cyn. She is trying to kill all the drones infected with the solver, right? While Cyn would rather them stay alive because she can use them.
So, are there two people in control of Tessa’s body in these episodes? Does she still have a consciousness, and Cyn just takes her over at the end just like she does with Uzi? Or is it really Cyn the whole time just playing a very long game?
Or, a secret third option? I’ve been operating under the assumption that Tessa was killed either during the gala or the downfall of Earth. But did she survive, and actually come to Copper 9 by choice? Maybe it actually was her, and she didn’t lie about her reasons for being there. So it was Tessa- just regular Tessa- throughout episodes 6 and 7.
In this scenario, Cyn wouldn’t have had that body until N decapitated Tessa. Then, once Uzi got control of herself again after that battle, she took over the only available body left: Tessa’s.
There’s like a 50/50 chance that this logic works out. Because on one hand, it would explain why Tessa seemed so normal (more or less) before the end of episode 7. And to back it up, Tessa is very excited to see N in episode 6, and comments on how tall he is now- a small unnecessary detail if it were actually Cyn, because Cyn made him a disassembly drone (height and all.) Additionally in this scene she gets too excited and has to cough a bit and breathe slower because the air is toxic. I’m not sure how the drones work exactly, but they don’t have to breathe- or at least they are able to breathe the toxic air on Copper 9, unlike humans.
On the other hand, J. She knows the whole time that she’s working for Cyn. Even though Cyn did trick her somehow, at least by episode 7 she knows. And Tessa even says to her, “Mind my ship. Cyn’s orders.” Unless I heard it wrong, that one line kind of debunks my previous theory. And the ominous mystery around Tessa right up until she’s revealed to be Cyn, especially with her not showing her face and when she has to scan her finger it ONLY shows her finger.
So long story short I have no clue whats going on here and I’d love to hear other peoples theories on it! Or maybe there’s a canon solution I just haven’t figured out yet lol, anywho let me know what you think :3
