Murder Drones gets a season 2 but it's suddenly way heavier on unfunny comedy and all of the horror and worldbuilding is relegated to background noise and all of the original characters are suddenly complete idiots to make way for the new characters who are also idiots but just better than the original cast for no reason and the new main drone has a stupid power-rangers-ass combining gimmick that's obviously only there to push toy sales
>>327150 no I mean even more idiotic to the point they don't really act like themselves and put up with the new characters' stupid shit for no good reason

>>327155 like NUzi and V are suddenly tripping over themselves in every fight and when the new main drone makes it clear he's only really sticking around because he wants to steal and sell Uzi's railgun everyone is like "you should join our team and be the one to use that rail gun, you have such a natural talent for it!"
>>327152 (Space Godzilla is an actual episode of the clone wars show by the way, it's called the Zillo Beast but I figured that would be a little too obscure to directly reference)
>>327062 Beretta is guided by the unseen hand of Solver Shenanigans to dig through Uzi's engineering junk pile to find something. She brings the piece of junk to John to ask what it is and asks if he can fix it. John says it's a Light Bee which is a floating holographic projector and his own unseen hand of Solver Shenanigans makes him upload a specific brain scan into it. Beretta brings the fixed Light Bee to Jane because talking to a dead person sounds like something she would think is cool. Beretta and Jane activate the Light Bee and it turns out to be Abby. Abby almost immediately recognizes Jane and starts needling her about the absolute injustice over how she survived the War. Jane's alcohol soaked brain makes enough neuron connections to remember who Abby was and how much she hated her. Beretta exits stage left over the ensuing cat fight( or at least as much of a cat fight could occur when one of the girls is intangible).
Beretta and Jane go and check out a new cafe that’s opened up around the Outpost. They have drinks and talk about school. It’s a fun little hang out, nothing bad happens.

>>327182 Maybe if you just have her as a background character so that Beretta has someone to have conversations at? Other than that the only real nich where she dosen't end up stealing spotlight by overtaking Beretta's narrative like a cancerous growth is making her a sterling bad example and influence that B can't/won't shake bc "she was there at my lowest"(B happened to distract Jane from her sadness via B's own even more sad life, and so stuck around to watch the fireworks).

>>327270 I just think it's neat that, as far as we can tell from the show, she was under literally no threat from the entire main cast combined until THAT SPECIFIC SECOND. She:
>Could have used her energy tendrils from consuming the planet at any time. As evidenced by her attacking the spaceship and by the actual solver-war flashback in show
>Didn't seem to care or be inconvenienced by her body parts being damaged See how when her head gets cut off, she doesn't even drop the smile, and seems not even remotely impeded by it unlike every other combatant in the same fight
>Might not actually be able to die straight-up Mostly evidenced by how, even AFTER Uzi burned her core, she just got creepy and did the hole-eating bit. I figure she probably could have just straight-up moved at the same speed and strength as normal here and the only reason she didn't is she was taking the opportunity to spook instead of being practical like the rest of the fight, only for Uzi to do (and to survive doing against all odds) the literal singular thing that could even temporarily impede the end of all things.
How MD does its eldritch god is great, is all I'm saying
>>327268 I've considered the Pavo/Cyn matchup a few times. He's got a low chance compared to most Sentinels because he clears being just above-average in combat, and mainly excels in fighting DDs and being near-immune to trauma. However, Cyn lost to a worker drone who had maybe a few days' worth of "combat experience". It's entirely possible that any SD floors her if they realize that they can't beat infinite regeneration and can only win by going for the core.
I was once going to write about Cyn being downright afraid of Sentinel Drones, not because they're a massive threat, but because they register as a slight threat and she'd NEVER live down jobbing to a 3-dimensional entity. But, you know, Mary Sue allegations.
>>327268 >jobbed twice in episode 2 via uzi gun exploding point blank >N stabbing the her core >weakness is sunlight (average discord user) >no reason to even wear tessa’s skin in the first place >besides shock factor >killed doll >only to see later doll isn’t dead >freely roaming around as a oily thing (she still did avenge her mom or dad >left to the imagination what cyn did for 70 years >because that’s fun >door is enough to physically harm the body >got vored by a femcel >is now currently in said femcel’s ass >never made oil >when it’s the only THING she needs to live absolute potential, the headcanon, all fan made void
>>327275 >Canonically kicked Human ass so hard, they lost their home planet >Even more so, so hard that they were building a patch to AVOID her influence rather than confront her directly
Also remember, the only reason that Doll's an oil ghost is because Cyn killed and then Uzi took Cyn's position as host. Doll's hud was part of the "escaped data" (i.e. roboghosts released from Solver-hell) segment. Also keep in mind that for at least Cyn we don't have any evidence that she needs oil per-se, just that she wants it. It could just be her binge eating cause nobody can stop her.
>>327273 >How MD does its eldri- your saying that as if you had read any of HP lovecraft books, knowing fuck all about the guy who made eldritch in the first place, he was him, made a entire article of how cats are the best, dogs are not
I thought he was threadcannonically THE combat sentinel, eclipsing even individuals like Ivory? Still no chance against Cyn (cause if that were the case the sentinel teams humanity was most reasonably sending at her in a constant stream would have succeeded) but probably would give her the single closest possible thing to a threat outside of a bunch of Solver-drones (who can ACTUALLY kill her since they can hijack her core, which I presume nothing else and ESPECIALLY not the anti-solver sentinels would be capable of).
>>327276 >Canonically kicked Human ass so hard, they lost their home planet that isn’t really all that impressive, it’s whatever year it was back then, and humanity made no laser weapon, no cool stuff, they were pathetic and stupid
>>327274 This anon >>327273 summed up my opinion on the matter well, because she really did see it more as a joke than a real fight. Let's not forget that Uzi had exactly the same power as Cyn, and she couldn't directly turn her into a pancake, since a host solver can't directly affect a host solver, but throwing something heavier is easy.
She could literally drop a planet on Pavo, it's easy for her, but I think Pavo could stun her a little with his feather attack. It's not much, but it would be something.
>>327277 Ah, but keep in mind, the most fun part about Cyn is just how much is left completely ambiguous. Did she care about the mansion group? Yes, whether as toys or as people that much is clear. But how so, and why did she do what she did to them? And how and in what context does she really understand what she's doing? It was already neat enough that Liam very strongly implied she sees everything as essentially dolls, beloved or not, but Cyn as a character toes the line between innocent/goofy/terrifying/simply difficult to understand so well that she's I think my legitimate favorite "Nyarlathotep" style "elder abomination in a people suit" entity.
>>327278 I think he is one of the strongest due to the combination of mental peculiarities (the absence of the sentinel's main weakness) and the most advanced technologies that humanity has, but still, yes, I think this is still not enough to defeat a god.
>>327280 >She could literally drop a planet on Pavo we have also literally never see cyn, or any other solver host, even do anything close to that using telekinesis thing >those tendri- took take time and are glowing yellow
>>327285 meant took time to form, the ship was on autopilot, avoids rocks and space debris, not whatever that tendril is >SOLAR SYSTEM SPACESHIP fucking where, my memory may be old, this is from episode 3, it took 3 week to arrive on copper 9
>>327284 >we have also literally never see cyn, or any other solver host, even do anything close to that using telekinesis thing Because it's too easy. Cyn, unlike Uzi and Doll, has been using her otherworldly powers for much longer and can use them much faster and more effectively. She literally punched through the planet's core using a tiny [null] ball just for effect; she was really just playing around. She didn't see them as enemies, just as toys.
>>327286 I'm incredibly saddened that Liam doesn't have an autism for worldbuilding. He couldn't care less about it. He only cares about characters, and only the main characters.
>>327287 I just say that because we have no evidence of any other spaceship Cyn/the dissemblers used to arrive from Earth to Copper-9. Until there's some evidence otherwise I'm assuming Cyn finished up with wherever she was and then flew back to copper in the pod to clean house rather than her flying there in whatever ahuler initially dropped off the DDs and then sitting in orbit for 20 years.
>>327290 another reason as to why to never put any faith into a indie shows, always boring, not indie games, my faith is there with them, as is my money
>>327278 I always took that to be Harper, myself, but he does clear an entire house of DDs without his cheat tail in the deep cover green. It's one of those things, like how despite Star Wars spinoffs having ancient Sith emperors who can eat planets and do other insane shit on that scale, Sheev is always "the strongest Sith who ever lived" because it's sacrilege to say otherwise. The Polver timeline, where he beats Cyn, has the intrusive thought of eating the Solver, and actually assimilates it instead of either violently exploding or nothing happening, would be funny to look at, but not worth all the other trouble.
>>327293 you think cyn gets enjoyment of swallowing after a blow job, sperms are living things with souls in them, kinda gross that it’s in you at all time
>>327293 Aren't those two basically synonymous? I know Lovecraft himself most certainly wrote both, and typically the inability to understand a thing pairs pretty well with making its whole existence so fundamentally beyond yours that you are a mere gnat in comparison.
>>327294 >That's what /md/ is for! >an anonymous image board >made as a back up for 4chan that’s when you know one as failed as a creator, fucking hell
>>327295 >It's one of those things, like how despite Star Wars spinoffs having ancient Sith emperors who can eat planets and do other insane shit on that scale, Sheev is always "the strongest Sith who ever lived" because it's sacrilege to say otherwise. Sheev is the strongest because he maxed out his precognition and his counter-precognition (Remember the part in Attack of the Clones where it's mentioned that the Dark Side has started clouding the Jedi Council's ability to look ahead for potential futures? That was Sheev).
>>327290 That's just giving you the opportunity to do it yourself Anon like i did. >Want more Worldbuilding? Expands, create more outposts, labs, new planets. >Got any character in mind? Write greentext about any side character you want.
>>327274 A Sentinel could hold Cynwalker in check in a purely physical fight, but of course she isn't a pure physical combatant, she can teleport away if she feels seriously threatened and she can casually sling black hole attacks powerful enough to pierce through-and-through a planet. Keep in mind the fight between her, V, N and Uzi is purely spectacle, it runs off of rule-of-cool and so characters use their powers when it would be most cool, not necessarily when it would most easily win the fight, and it's all got to be kept within the show's limited animation budget. The biggest advantage a Sentinel Drone has is that they actually use all of their abilities when appropriate, and they have only a very limited sense of self-preservation. The biggest disadvantage they suffer is that their strongest weapons or powers can only be used in limited bursts before they are expended, and they can only self-repair a limited amount of damage, unlike DDs who can bounce back from basically anything that doesn't totally annihilate their body. If you were to replace the main trio with a "standard" Sentinel Drone pair, they might force Cyn to take them more seriously and play with them less, which would probably just mean that she either summons some kind of flesh monster to fight as her proxy, or she just starts slinging black holes like she does when possessing Uzi and doesn't stop until they're destroyed. I described in an early Solver War greentext and in the original Phoenix story how a Solver Witch is capable of deflecting a Sentinel's signature energy weapon. Thermal bloom will still burn them but Cynwalker survives things that would cripple a normal DD temporarily, like being decapitated, so I imagine that she can soak that kind of secondary damage without pause as well. If she can deflect and juggle Uzi's equally powerful black hole attacks, she could repel a concerted attack from a Sentinel Drone with similar ease.
If you wanted a direct power comparison with show characters, the standard Sentinel variant is more dangerous than Doll during Prommening but not as dangerous as Cynwalker during Ep.8. The Intoner variant is less dangerous than Doll but more dangerous than a Sentinel Raptor. The converted Worker Sentinel soldiers are more dangerous than Uzi firing off her railgun (they actually hit most of the shots they take and have some specialized weapons, fight in groups, etc) but less dangerous than a Raptor pack (no gargoyle flash, not any more durable than normal Workers, weapons rely on supplies of ammunition)
>>327305 That's literally what I'm doing, lol. I've been writing greens about the Veteran AU for so long that I'm starting to forget how the original characters act on the show. I seriously need to rewatch it.
I don’t think Akita and Beretta would like each other at all. Not in a quirky “I find your brand of autism off putting” kind of way but a deep and fundamental fear of what the other represents
>>327237 >"Hey, Little one!" >Her head instantly perks up nervously. >She looks back at you. >"Y-yeah sir?" >"Come over here, will ya?" >She walks over to you, looking down shyly. >"Yeah sir? Is there anything I can help you with?" >"... What's your name?" >"Oh, my name...? Well, it's V, sir! Serial Designation V!" >A single letter? that was somehow both adorable and kind of...cold. Did this reckless bastard not give their drones any real names? >"like V? the letter? The first B or the second V in the alphabet?" >She giggles softly. Then she starts moving her hand, drawing an imaginary 'V' on the air with her finger. >"Ah, it's a cute letter... a cute name..." >She giggles nervously. >"W-well. Why, thank you sir. I'm glad you like it." >She figdets with her apron. >"I-is there anything else I can help you with, sir?" >You think about it for a moment... Then a random idea crosses your mind. >"Can you stay here? I wanna chat with you for a minute..." >"Oh- chat? ... yeah! Sure, I can stay!"
>You plop down on a nearby armchair. God it was comfortable. >"You want to take a seat too?" >"A seat?" she mutters.. "Oh- ... okay, sure!" >She grabs a nearby stool, placing it in front of you then sitting down elegantly.
>"So, V! Why don't you tell me about you and drones in general? I'm curious how you little guys work..." >V starts explaining the basics of the worker drones in a really informative and enthusiastic way. >She talks about their functions within the manor and how they serve the Elliott's >As she speaks out loud, you are able to hear her voice clearly. >It's very gentle, and sweet...
>>327314 If the "cannon" of the two interact or in the Empress Uzi setting? Cause I figured in Empress Uzi Beretta, being the oldest sibling, would have essentially gone through most of her character development by the time Akita's old enough to be a factor, thus making her a lot less scary as a concept.
>>327312 Neat, but statistically isn't Uzi kinda cracked in the aim department? I only remember her firing off, like, 3 shots tops in the series and of those 1 was a direct hit and the other missed by a few milimeters.
>>327315 you know damn well they knew what they were doing, just love that it shows the fire in the stomach just as the song says “it’s where my demons hide"
>>327316 >"-and that's why we keep everything in order for Master Elliott and his guests! ... Is there anything else you'd like to know, sir?" >"Well, that was very interesting... So, you guys have... personalities? And stuff?" >She chuckles nervously. >"Well... yeah! But, apparently, not as much as our human masters, of course... Not that it matters..." >You notice her looking around nervously. >"Everything okay?" >"Oh? oh! Yeah, it's just that... Master Elliott might not like that I'm... sitting around..." >"... I should probably go-" She starts standing up from her stool, but you stop her. >"Hey! You can stay, alright? I'm an important guest, I need your assistance, sit down..." >"Oh... o-okay!" >You can't help but notice her acting more anxious now. Constantly fidgeting with her apron and looking over to the hallway behind you.
>"That guy, James... does he treat you all okay? Or is he some sort of evil overlord" you say in a villainous mocking manner. >She looks down, chuckling nervously. >"Heh.. he is a great man, I'm sure." >"I- I mean... He is a great man! Master Elliott... he created us! And he takes good care of us..." She gives you a nervous smile.
>You don't like what's going on here. Chances are you were right about that prick. >It gets worse when you remember that pile of junk outside the manor. Something was not right about this James guy. >"I... I should head out..." She says. >You notice a slight distress in her voice, as if she wasn't sure about the certainty of her claims...
>>327313 I get it. One thing I keep ignoring is establishing when my AU takes place to the canon story. My interpretation is Solara was created a little time later when the sentinels were established.
>Historically speaking, a majority of sentinel drone interactions with a swarm of hostile disassembly drones end up with them in a position similar to a naive female elf encountering a pack of goblins in a cave. It’s not pretty.
>>327327 >Sentinels jobbing Impossible. Citizen you are required to report to your nearest Federation reeducation camp immediately for 10 rounds of Liquidator Extraction and two watchthroughs of "Top-Ass."
>>327320 First shot ever, misfire, blows herself up Second shot, hits N at point blank range, he is immobile and taken by surprise Third shot, point blank on J who is laying on the ground immobile, basically a contact shot Fourth shot, near miss, takes off one of J’s twintails
Reprogrammed SD Workers operate similar to well trained soldiers, they have a variety of military weapons and use coordination and tactics. They’d be a lot more dangerous to a DD on any given day than an untrained worker with an unreliable albeit powerful single shot weapon.
>>327333 >Real world soldiers miss over 50% of their shots even in the US military >Uzi manages a 66% hit rate, cause you can't reasonably count a misfire as bad aim
>>327327 >>327328 Anon specified "swarm" for a reason. This isn't just one or a squad of DDs, this is a whole alphabet worth of the bastards >Sentinel warned "there's tons of DDs in that area" >Dismisses >He's got the bootloop, he'll be fine >So he goes on his mission >Hits the first squad, boots, kills >Hits a second squad within the second, weird >Still boots and kills >Hits a third squad >Something's not right >These guys fight with their eyes closed >Only sort of a problem, kills but takes some damage >Then he gets hit by the snipers >There were a full 26 DDs in that singular building >They were throwing a corporate retreat >And now he's completely at their mercy
Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but there are no Sentinel Drones in the Empress timeline. The best humanity had were Boxmarines, and they really existed to buy time for planetary evacuations.

>>327342 Eh, nobody's made anything for empress except those two greens up until now, we can play around with the concept if it means getting more anons interested.
>>327338 You can’t count point blank contact shots as good aim either. The one shot Uzi takes at any range beyond a few feet away she misses. Your average SD-Worker can put a burst of accurate weapon fire from a variety of different guns onto a moving target at ranges of 100m
>>327334 The list in my personal opinion: >Pavo >Sentinel Fuguedrone >Sentinel Eli >Sentinel Heal Slut >Ivory >Sentinel E >Avre >Adeline >Harper >Alpha >Hound and Huntress
They love humans more than anyone else. Of course, everyone's opinion is a little different. Harper might simply find us very sweet, while Pavo would be ready to exterminate alien civilizations if he thought they can pose a threat to humanity.
>>327346 >They disperse in disgust >Score one for anon >Now he just has to figure out what solver-mutation let him crap himself as a Sentinel >Yes, life will be good >Hopefully
>>327363 >Tfw you just have to trust the writefag has an explanation for why there's massive grassy jungles and not an overwhelming mass of factories and/or refugees on literally the ONLY planet human space can rely on for indestructible infrastructure. >The fact that the whole thing hasn't been converted to farmland is a miracle in and of itself, given that it's the only place that 100% guarantees solver infection safe foodstuffs
I know that pain anon...
On the bright side, it creates a ton of possibilities for exploring the general human army/liquidators hating sentinels in the post-cannon. As far as they saw things the single strongest, fastest, best supplied weapons of the war would quite literally leave a battlefield to go on vacation in the middle of a war for mankind's extinction. Regardless of the fact that it made the Sentinels objectively better in their role as the army's "scalpel" I can't see anyone, officer or grunt, who saw or heard of that in action being particularly happy about it. Doubly so once they learn in the post-war that the Sentinel Corps literally has a completely untouchable planet that they have been making luxuries for their bots on and very little else.
If Harpernon's reading I do love the green, but for the love of all that is holy give us a REASON for these things. Cause current-stand it's really hard to look at the way it's set up and NOT think either "the Sentinels are babied way too much" or "the Sentinel Corps high-command is deliberately limiting access to the planet out of pure spite for/power hunger/glory hunger against the other military units."
>>327369 I already explained it kinda in my last writing. To quote >This planet is less than 1 percent developed. And you best hope to god it stays that way, because it being like this is the only reason any of us are breathing right now

>>327369 Honestly, I'd rather drop that halfassed concept from my take on Warhammer 3K entirely than try to fit the halfassed premise into a comparatively better thought-out one. >give us a REASON for these things Even if you do get that, it's going to be fucking retarded. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
>>327363 The threads are quite literally rehashing bugdrones, sentinel discourse, and Nuzi kids in real time We’re only a handful of threads away from somebody reinventing Buddy and Ddanni unironically
Nice, must not have seen that one. Still isn't going to help Sentinel-Corps PR post-war but that just gives the option for a whole series of interesting greens in and of themselves where the Corps is simultaniously the "last man standing" of human institutions/leadership AND having major problems with the actual human-military remnants and veterans who don't understand why they seemed to be holding back so much (including even an entire planet in post, since presumably sentinel-base stays underdeveloped and secret). Got to get to that when I'm more awake though so goodnight.
>>327369 Droneanon (that's what Harper's creator is called) has already made his universe extremely limited in order to tell only his story, and I don't think that's a bad thing.
His concept of sentinels isn't unique. In my Veteran AU concept, there's no such planet at all. There are multiple bases, located on numerous planets, serving for the rapid deployment, supply, and repair of sentinel drones, and 75 percent of humanity isn't extinct.

>>327376 This is /md/, I'm not sure why you're here if you don't like Nuzi kids. Also grub is different enough from bugs to have som actual staying power this time since he's got more than "just drones but bug" going for him.
>>327387 Remember when bugdrones were evolved from the various drono dwarfus retardius subspecies? Should have kept that angle. Still fondly remember an Anon breaking down what each subspecies would evolve into, like Duls' hair developing into a pillbug-like shell they can protect themselves with by curling up.
>>327390 >>327391 I thought Phoenixanon's concert from the ship was quite interesting, so humans were trying their best to escape to distant colonies using everything they could get their hands on to fly through space.
And I don't mean to imply that humanity wasn't harmed; more than half were killed or mutated, but more than 25% remained.

>>327407 You know, anon, I'm also very disappointed with the thoughtless addition of all sorts of weird temples and other nonsense that should supposedly explain why Cyn doesn't touch the base, but it seems to me that you're focusing too much on this.
Just come up with your own concept for your universe, that's all.
>>321433 >You enter the little shack. It’s got a desk next to a window, a bunk bed, a carpet, and a few lockers. Kinda reminds you of Titan in a sense. You see Sophie sitting on the top bunk, looking at… Whatever’s on that video pad. You’re not keen to ask what it is, though. You’ve asked her enough, and she seems like she’s more interested in whatever she’s watching. >You sit at the desk. That conversation you had with the scientist did raise a question. Why don’t they colonize this planet? If Earth is… Gone, why not go for something this habitable? They said something about “Not liking what would happen” if it got more than 1 percent industrialized. You think back to the Sentinel base. How does that structure not count? >You said you wouldn’t ask her, but you gotta. You ask Sophie why Sentinels are kept here. >“Oh! I dunno, mommy said that that they are needed here because all the army people are underground!” >Well… That’s kinda vague. But maybe… What if you just asked someone else? You pull up your communicator array and try to get in touch with or someone else. You don’t need to focus on it as much now to get it to work. Eventually, Harper’s face shows up in a little screen in the corner >”Hey! What’s up?” >You ask Harper why people don’t develop this planet. It seems like it’d be a good idea. Harper seems to… Is the right word sigh? Sigh, that’s the kind of noise she just made. >”Ugh... Look, I really didn’t want to have to tell you this, because this situation is dire. we DID develop this planet. All the people live in the rock formations. The base is no different. The thing is, it’s because the jungle of this planet has… Something about it that seems to keep IT away.” >You ask why they don’t farm here? You’re no farmer, but the soil seems good. Harper groans and speaks in a dreary tone. >Fine, I’m just gonna rip the bandaid off. Food cannot grow on this planet, only more jungle. Any seeds just grow more trees and stuff. About the only resource we CAN harvest are the trees, but we don’t really do that because it risks dropping whatever barrier is set up and who the fuck even wants wood in this day and age? I don’t know why, but I’ve never been one to question providence. This place? It’s the home planet of most of what’s left of humanity now. We need to be here in case anything happens. I know it doesn’t sound that bad, but do you know how many people live on this planet? 200 million. Oh, I took you to a space city, but that only had a few thousand living in it. Do you know why our roadtrip seemed so pleasant despite the stakes? It’s because I intentionally took a path that would shield you from the reality of our situation. I didn’t want to break you. All you’ve seen? This is basically all that’s left of humanity. A few space cities, a few remote research outposts, and a lot of underground infrastructure on a planet nobody actually wants to live on because it’s damp and only livable because you’re a machine. Most people who live here say it fucking sucks because it’s damp, too cold, and yet muggy at the same time. Nobody can be comfortable living here besides Drones like ourselves. I’m sorry you had to know how awful it actually was for us.” >Well, that’s an awful lot to take in. So… Harper basically lied to you in order to preserve your innocence. You’re… Kinda mad at her for that. Why did she do that? Did she really not think you could handle it? Maybe she just realized you’d ask a ton of questions anyways and just decided to give you the answers all at once to get you to stop. You hang up and storm out. You activate your wings, once again on instinct, and fly above the tree line before surveying the rock formations in the distance. You see… Lights? Yeah, those are lights. Windows, perhaps. You don’t feel like leaving Sophie, but she has a tracker, she’ll be fine. You rocket over to one of the lights in a minute, finding a balcony. It blends into the rock rather well. You don’t see anyone though, and start looking around to see if anyone has gone outside. And well, someone has. A human. She can’t be more than 20. She’s just curled up on the balcony, soaked from head to toe, looking completely despondent. You feel a rush of protective instincts flare up inside you. You want to make this human happy. 12/??
>>327413 I'd say every anon has their own concept they use, and these concepts share both similarities and differences. Planet of Droneanon is barely mentioned, except by Droneanon himself and, well, you.
>You look at yourself in the mirror every day, hoping that this nightmare will come to a close. The moment anyone calls for your help, you’re off to the races. That’s not the part that bothers you. You’re a finely tuned combat machine. You’ve seen a lot of people die, and while that upsets you a lot, you press forward >The real struggle comes when you’re done with a mission. You transport refugees to this place, escort them to their new homes, and so on. And they eventually hate it. They’re constantly wondering when they’ll see the sun again or when they’ll be able to go outside without a poncho. You don’t have any senses that could tell you this, but apparently it’s nearly impossible to venture outside unless you’re a machine. Something about it being hard to breathe. People here have all the things they need. Food (Grown on ships,) shelter, warmth, recreation, each other, but they’re still unhappy. Not just unhappy, but they’ve actually killed themselves before >You try to keep up some optimism, like your husband taught you to do in the face of adversity, but at the same time you wonder what the point is. If the people you save always end up so depressed because this is the last place they can live. Maybe just for the sake of your child, maybe for the sake of your comrades. >The rain is calming, but it never stops.
>>327188 I never said anything about loving khan and nori, this was something that had to be done, my heart gos out for the in the forest, my favourite thing to do is whenever someone stupid enough to break in, have alice in my arms, her tail in my hand, making it go around in circles, placing alice on the floor, her on all fours The Wind Up Dog Is Here!
>>327437 But yeah. Apparently the jungle has some kind of mystic property keeping the Solver out. So the real question is “How do you colonize without touching the jungle?” The answer is to just build building interiors in rock formations
>>327194 there’s filth everywhere, they dogs, they are mutts, while cats on the other hand, on wherever their planet is located, cats aren’t stupid to leave behind their whereabouts like the dumbass dogs do, cats have their own civilisation, guns that are cats, cats that are guns
