Reminder that the WDF has a robo-murder hotline, and somebody bothered to print missing posters for these kids. The general apathy towards death in Worker Drone society is not because the average drone is a redshirt toaster who doesn’t understand death, but rather everybody is so overexposed to death that it becomes too exhausting to react to.

Death is a rule in Workerdrone Society. Everybody expects that someday they will die gruesomely. It has been a rule of Workerdrone life since the days that humans still ruled over them.

Unit damage was the highest recorded cause of unit decommission. And let us not forget Louisa Elliot’s favorite way of disposing of her own workers was chaining them up and letting them be ripped apart by crows.

It has always been this way for workerkind.

Obscure Murderdrones Fact #7

Subject: Khan’s Room Is Very Disturbing

It’s no secret that Khan is a concerning individual. The sentiment holds when we take a look at his personal environment.

Immediately noticeable is his habit of tracking ideas with sticky notes, much like his daughter. But distinguished is the disturbing contents of these records.

“Doors > Uzi” affirms a bold, uncomfortable, but unsurprising reality to his apparent favoring of his technological achievement over his own child (which only begs more questions considering the doors are apparently sentient.) But what truly makes this disconcerting is its evidence that Khan is very, very aware of his stance, and believes it enough to proclaim it openly on his wall. Why does he feel the need to do this?

Moving up, arguably more distressingly, a note reads “New Idea: Monthly Subscription Based Doors?”

Khan’s Doors are the only thing keeping out sky demons. Why would Khan feel the need to charge for this? How would this even work? Who is paying? Paying for individual protection seems farfetched, given the doors are an all-or-nothing protective measure.

Is he considering charging the other outposts for access to his technology? That makes marginally more sense, assuming that the outposts aren’t directly linked (big assumption here,) and that one failed door wouldn’t a breach all Outposts.

Perhaps the concept is charging subscription for regular doors, and thus limiting the non-subscribed access to their own quarters or other Outpost 3 locations. That may be the best-case scenario.

Finally, it’s obligatory to mention the photograph. Interestingly, Nori’s segment of the family photo appears charred away by a Dissasembly Drone’s Nanite Acid. It’s fitting, given the acid is what spurred her “death” to begin with, but how did the photo itself become damaged?

Go back to making fries.

Gotta love how after the gala, Khan is supportive but still has no idea what is going on. Like— when Doll breaks into his quarters to steal the keybug, he assumes she’s just another serial killer his daughter invited over and just rolls with it

The WDF members from the pilot don’t get enough credit for having actually done exactly what they were supposed to do.

They positioned themselves every night at the most dangerous point in the entire compound, exactly one door between themselves and death.

Their job wasn’t to fight back. It was to run like hell and alert the rest of the outpost, which is exactly what they did.

Shoutout to all those we lost during N’s breaching of door 1.

Obscure Murderdrones Fact #6

Subject: Sentient Doors

When Uzi flees from N and attempts to shut the door with the access card, it responds to her frantic jabbing with a UI message that reads: “Ouch!!! I can’t feel pain, but your attitude hurts the most.”

This raises major questions for Khan. Did he build a sentient door? Was it Nori’s idea?

This is not the first case of sentience in other machines. The roaches are arguably sentient, and the bus from Cabin Fever appears to behave akin to a horse.

This instance is unique due to the doors being a creation of dronekind, and it’s many potential implications for Khan.

@ilovekhori what have you done.

Because @starweb-laboratory begged me to put my strange coping method on the internet, here is the legendary Murderdrones McDonalds build. Murdonalds.

I originally built this place for Doll. Mt first instinct to protect characters screwed over by their universes is to seize them into a medium I can control and then take them to McDonalds. It’s been a long-running thing for years now, and after what happened to Doll in Episode 7, I finally broke and went McMode.

And then I kept adding more characters and building onto the thing.

Khan hangs out in the entrance room guarding the door, as he does best.

And this sign makes it very clear that certain individuals are not permitted within the premises. Khan is here to enforce that. (And he will.)

Pardon the spooky decor: this is the lobby, and the place is still decorated for last Halloween. I haven’t bothered to change it yet.

Thad technically works the kitchen alongside Lizzie, but he’s on break rn, so he’s roaming.

J’s also got somewhere to be, but is currently out inspecting the building, per her job as OSHA enforcer. A hey look, there’s Doll! The subject of this entire build.

If you want more of this thing, lemme know.
