Not in the Keeterverse! The drones there have incredible abilities like "forward planning" and "the ability to innovate" that the normies in canon could never match, including enough survival instinct to see their populations GROW!
Course they're still mostly a scavenger society for now... but that's changing! If they can make drone fashion lines then they can probably at least rediscover interstellar travel, right?

>>348313 >>348313 If you haven't noticed most of the "drones retarded + no empathy" crowd ignores Khan in general. I presume because if even the normal drones can construct the doors + improve Uzi's railgun + mourn their wives in unhealthy fashion it takes the wind out of their "humans superior/worth more" shtick. Personally I'd love to see more Solver War/HoDR/Postwar greens where that attitude meets the reality in Workers working to be less stepped on in those settigns.

>>348318 >implying Tammy didn't get folded into Beretta >implying she dosen't take the same ethereal, advice-dispensing ststus as Aunt Cyn does in Beretta-Prime
That reminds me though: what's Hope's status in the Empressverse? If Uzi's more liberal with her powers + close to Cyn, then she probably knows about her right? Did Uzi make her a new body? Is she still floating around? Does Hope have mind-palace privileges?
>>348319 >Workers working to be less stepped on Big problem for them is humans designed them to be cute and friend-shaped and the perfect height to receive condescending headpats, to minimize their ability to be taken seriously if they ever pushed back against their mistreatment.
>>348325 You saw N throw that tray, workers are as lethal as humans if not moreso. So presumably they're programmed not to rebel and it actually sticks.

>>348330 Counterpoint: Cyn had to get her divine ass out of the chair and kill the Elliots personally. Before she dealt with Tessa even, which indicates either a complete lack of care about killing them or a threat assessment.
Personally I have no doubts that at least James was "built different" like his daughter: probably one of the few humans that could theoretically take on a DD head-to-head. Lot of good it was against the Solver but hey what can you do?

Yearly reminder that the Copper-9 Workers ran a full-on rebellion before the Core Collapse. One that they were WINNING in fact, judging by how they managed a truce before all the humans died out.
>>348336 Wonder if all that was going to be a plot point in Liam's earlier conception of MD's story, before he cut it down to just a rush to the Cynwalker reveal.
>>348322 >what's Hope's status in the Empressverse? I don't know enough about Hope to write her into the story. I consider the idea from time to time that she might be present in another name, or combined with another character, but I can't think of a place to fit her.

>>348339 Well there's not that much to know to be honest: >N/V Manor Kid >"Grew up" about halfway (teens) before SHTF >"Dies" wierd: Solver decides to kill her soul + erase her from both parents' minds, fucks up and leaves her a half-extant "thing" only the metaphysically attuned can interact with >Good enough >Follows her parents as ghost-lite(since she can occasionally do spooky stuff to them) >Post-Canon happens >Uzi eats the Solver, but half-rejects the powers: still can't percieve her as a result >But BERETTA (and later, Negev) can! >Proceede with wierd half-sister friendship
Now where that usually goes is Hope's "don't want to be a bother" personality asking Beretta not to tell her parents, thereby allowing her own suck-ass existence to continue. But in the Empress timeline, where Uzi's deep enough into Solver-bullshit to learn about her another way...
As for where it goes from there that depends mostly on what you think the Uzi-hive wants: Hope's too polite to ask for anything but compay and too blackpilled to think coming her back to life wouldldn't fuck up her parents' happy ending. On the other hand I suspect she'd go "fuck it" and drop her hiding if the whole "daughter-ghost" thing gets revealed to N and V, given it's damage-done at that point.
Point being: there's an intresting opportunites in making her either a psudo-hive member(since she's not clanging her dad, and thus won't join permanently) OR in giving her a body and having her be a stepsibling. Personally I'm just curious how the Empress would handle a "Child Doll" situation like this, especially since she's not entirely opposed to just dying by this point.

JCJ doesn't want you to know this, but if you stick a plug in a J's rear port, she'll actually become markedly more capable. I'm doing more in-depth testing with bigger plugs and getting positive results. Just remember to remove it once her shift is over so she doesn't wind up overstimulated.

The only thing keeping Doll from a body of her own is her stubbornness. Give Uzi like a month and the permission to do and robo-vampirism can be hers once more.

The closest thing to the other ones we see in the actual show is picrel.
>>348435 They're literally like us, only dumber, so it would be 100%. But there's no even hint of that in the show itself, well, except for Lizzy and her line about V being hotter than Doll. Traitor bitch.
>>348440 They are objectively dumber even than the humans in the show, because they can literally sit still and wait to be killed by the genocide machine created to kill them.
>>348441 (me) Or they approached the most obvious trap, like in a cliché, or couldn't even call the guy by his name and called him a bot five thousand. No, seriously, simple drones are seriously fucking stupid: even Lizzy literally let a fucking genocide machine inside just because she thought she was hot.
>>348443 (me) Although, I've been thinking, their "stupidity" doesn't seem like low intelligence, but rather a simple disregard for life. For them, life, whether their own or others', has far less value than it does for us, humans. This can be explained by the fact that they are machines, not life form, although we all know that's just Liam and his "normies' lives don't matter."

I have some ideas to help improve the threads. Akita should be louder and angrier, and have access to a dimensional portal. Whenever Akita isn't present in a greentext all the characters should be asking "Where's Akita?"

You're insane if you think Uzi "atavistic blood rage at him having other friends" Doorman is letting ANYONE, even a variant of herself, get intimate with her Murder-Boyfriend. ESPECIALLY a variant of herself actually, since he'd be a proven threat: Uzi's read enough doujin to assume the worst and she's NOT risking cuckery for a cheap thrill.
Even assuming she did try... I don't see any scenario where she actually fucks her clone. Either it's the two of them possesively clanging their Ns right next to each other(glaring the whole while, so they can ensure the other Uzi isn't trying anything) or an Uzi frenzies when the his/her N hugs the other one: either way the best-case scenario is avoiding dismemberment. Can't imagine Uzi allowing "herself but not" to clang N when "herself" is so unstable a concept already.

I suppose they could give him company, which would be cool for him, but if they do something crazy, then truly capable police DDs could end his saga. You have to understand that the main advantage humans have is that among us will be those who wield real power and resources: politicians, businessmen, members of the high command of military structures, and so on. In real words, those who create and support terrorist groups in our reality. Can you imagine a worker drone or a mutant becoming the head of a corporation or a general? Even if they receive funds from a human patron, it would be at most only for them to do their patrons' dirty work, meaning they would be no better than gangs.
DDs groups are completely rejected, since they themselves did not accept him in the first, and I won’t even mention the solver cultes: only a complete idiot with a single-digit IQ could consider them.

>>348611 >DD terrorists exist >Solver cultists exist >The FUCKING VSOTF still operate on some level
And you think the Union FBI is wasting its time on unowned Worker Drones?
Plus: keeping your terrorist group secret is a lot easier when you can modify it's members' memories. They'd be able to send out suicide bombers with legitimately no idea who they were working for or, even better, thinking they were working for one of the dozen+ other, better funded terrorist groups out there.
Got this thought that Nori uses text to type regularly now because she doesn't have hands anymore and it's faster than pecking one key at a time with her little headcrab claws, and has problems with it more frequently than usual because whatever substitute voicebox she has now is grainy and muffled compared to everydroney else.
>>348614 >An uneasy mining disaster. Truce rules inside job? Anon, I know you want this to be canon, and I won't hold it against you, but let's face it: those two lines don't suggest the worker drones rebelled against humans or even resisted in any way. In the pilot episode, we were clearly shown that the worker drones were still our slaves and that we couldn't care less about their lives. Uzi herself says they didn't rebel and that the worker drones only became free when the core collapsed.
And anon, worker drones can certainly steal crumbs from the factories where they work, but how soon do you think the warring factions will report them to the authorities (if they don't destroy them themselves), or how soon will the theft be discovered and one drone will expose the entire organization, or how soon will the authorities themselves notice the increased activity and nip everything in the bud? It's enough to look at our world as an example, anon, to understand how events will unfold. No group, be it a cartel in Mexico or even Hamas in the Middle East acts alone. They always have a patron, far more powerful than they are, and when that patron is gone, when there's no one to protect them, the others pounce to conquer land.
>"Bite me!" never comes out right: so far it's translated into bitch made, bitey, bitty, but me, butt me, butt squeeze, and buddy >this results in her text messages with N being more schizophrenic (and hornier) than intended by far
>>348617 Alright I checked back through the threads and here's some further of those being worker-caused: still not as concrete as I'd like, but at least enough to prove the WDF was active pre-collapse(or so shortly after the collapse as to be indistinguishable)
And as for the "increased activity" I'm mostly assuming the advantage of the small here. Workers are, for all the reasons you've described and more, mostly irrelevant on a political, personal, and physical level when compared to practically every other group post Solver-War. As a result though... they're insignificant enough for just about every one of those mentioned factions to ignore. Whose going to put effort into watching Workers when the DDs exist? Hell, when the MUTANTS exist(since they seem by and large physically superior)? As such I'm assuming they could "build up" in relative peace for a while and, by the time they ARE discovered, be essentially a local faction with too much firepower to be worth killing: I'm not saying they could kill all humans, just that they could entrench enough to be a hard target.
Now if enough of these "entrenched" workers communities start communicating on the other hand...
>>348622 By the way, I remember that conversation. someone already mentioned that the WDF uniform could have been just a regular worker drone uniform, maybe more specialized, so they could be easily distinguished(but we all know Glitch just saved money).
And anon, even if we take your words, you seem to have forgotten that less than 30 disassemblers claimed the ENTIRE planet from worker drones. Yes, they hardly resisted, but anon, how easy do you think it would have been for the Union to simply send their combat DDs against these groups, albeit armed, but still outnumbered by the disassembler drones? How easy would it have been to gather 10,000 DDs and say, "Guys, there's fresh oil there, go and eat it"? What if we added reinforcements in the form of other drones? And we haven’t even taken into account the human-centric groups that could destroy such worker enclaves literally in the bud.
>>348625 >easy That entirely depends on the competence of the Workers in question. A less defense-oriented Khan could have probably done serious damage even to the main squad given his improvements to Uzi's railgun.
And as for the "massive army" debate: the whole point is that these enclaves aren't *invincible,* just painful. Nobody wants to waste men and materials conquering hillbilly mountain in the first place. Certainly, if there's as many problems as multiple terrorist networks + integrating the DDs + mutant psudo-citizens would imply, then nobody wants to divert resources from THEM for some pointless siege.
Add some basic magnet traps + sightlines to the mix and suddenly taking them becomes a who do you lose rather than if, which makes dealing with them increasingly less appealing on both local and governmental levels. Why deploy your army on a random worker enclave? Why risk a Sentinel making a point about taxes? Thus, room creeps in for relatively small worker groups to throw off Union law. And when you can mass manufacture yourselves...
>>348627 >worldbuilding It's wasted on gooners, because they're gonna treat it like background fluff for the same gooning they've been doing this whole time.
Why? Sure they could, but unless they're "all drones must die" types(which seem like they would accelerate the formation of Worker resistance in general) then they're going to point most of their efforts towards DDs, Mutants, and the general Union government. Add to that how focusing on *specific* workers instead of workers on the whole is hard as hell(since they all look identical) and you've got a recipe for a hell of a fight that you Just. Don't. Need.

>>348630 What? Anon, a state will never allow anyone to disobey its laws on its territory. That's an axiom. Such groups, on the contrary, will be destroyed with greater zeal proportional to their size. You can hole up in a mountain, but when an EMP bomb hits from the arbiter, you're finished. You can gather a huge army, but a militia of DDs will come, and you're finished. You can take hostages and demand freedom and equality, but ONE sentinel drone will arrive, and you're finished.
Anon, even the most peace-loving and liberal state is, first and foremost, a state - a machine of war and oppression. They won't care about losses, they won't care about destruction, and they won't care why you rebelled against them; they will find you, pierce your defenses, and tear you apart in the most brutal way as a warning to others, so that everyone knows who's in charge here.

We always say “what if there was a universe where Jane’s scientist photo was chosen” but what if we just actually talked about it Jane finishes college and either willingly or forcefully goes to CFL or some other off brand drone slaughter lab.

I can see her at least making the attempt a "greater good" speech centered around the both of them even without any personal enemity.

Validation =/= affection: yes she wants their praise; yes she wants to be "part of their world;" no she doesn't care if Chad keels over and dies tomorrow. A cheering crowd affirming her as "Uzi Doorman: Hero of the Bunker" isn't worth... most of her friends and family's lives(she'd trade Lizzy, maybe Thad depending on crowd-size).
And besides that her statement holds true: she DIDN'T kill god for the Bunker drones, and she's NOT holding out against Cyn for their sake either(even if she'd like their praise for doing so). No amount of hypothetical drones are worth more to her than N and the rest even assuming they wouldn't forget about her sacrifice near-instantly. And given that Tessa places an even higher priority on their deaths than hers...

... Idea: this whole work with Tessa is going on as Uzi's last maladaptive coping mechanisms are breaking down. Over the course of getting blasted with Tessa's unimaginable pain, Uzi realizes something about herself: if she wants to get validation from normies, and make anything resembling headway on Tessa's damage, she needs to grow the fuck up. And that's how tbis timeline starts the path to the more or less functional (she's still very autistic, but she's not a belligerent goblin anymore) Uzi we see in Post-Good Ending periods.

>>348920 I'd argue it's a big part of the reason her coping mechanisms are breaking down rather than just happening simultaneously. But same-difference:
>Tessa pushing her on right/wrong and universal morality: constantly argues DD's + mind palace *shouldn't* live >Cyn's still attacking on strength/weakness + sense of self >Doll AWOL: probably the actual divergence point, since with her to mediate the Tessa/Uzi arguments would be less retardedly aggressive(Uzi getting riled up in DD defense; Tessa getting riled up at "they've changed" speeches for such monsters) >N/V working through Tessa being alive and HATING them, not able to support/distract Uzi like normal(and frankly Tessa is pressing issues they have no answer to) >Nori saying "delete the Skinnoid" whenever asked >Bunker is Bunker >Thad is helpful, but insufficient >Lizzy... is obvious >Eventually gives up, goes to Khan hoping that he'd have SOME advice on how to live with being a bad person(since her Hero delusion is gone, her god delusion was crumbling since day 1, and her "happy end" seems like it's on its last legs) >Luckily Khan does >Between "murdering" Nori, leaving Uzi to die, and the recognition of his parenting failures, he's struggled with that for a while >Gives her some advice on if not atoning(cause sometimes you can't), then at least improving while maintaining your responsibilities to those around you >Uzi leaves with a legitimate counterargument against Tessa and an overall greater care for other drones as people rather than a way to satisfy her desires >Post-good ending growth begins

>>348922 >>Doll AWOL: probably the actual divergence point When was this agreed on? Gotta be honest, I figured Doll would mostly be working on Tessa on her end too. Trying to help her and Uzi.
>>348924 (me) >>348922 Actually, I genuinely hadn't considered Doll having a role. Now that you point it out, she definitely would be involved with Uzi and Tessa.

>>348924 I'm just taking cues from the older greens: a lot of them indicate Doll had a "hidden period" where she was trying not to reveal herself to Uzi and pals up until around Negev's birth/institutionalization. And if she's not in contact with anyone then she's not going to be able to see Uzi's literal internal conflicts unless and until that changes.

>>348932 Yeah, but how's Doll gonna know that? She's "Escaped Data" AKA not in-the-mind-palace (and Tessa had outside privileges for all of 5 seconds) remember? As far as Doll's concerned everything is the same as when she decided to go no-contact in the first place and she has little/no way of learning otherwise(especially since she only knew Tessa as Cyn's fake name).
>>348934 I had always pictured Doll as coming and going from Uzi's mind palace, not consistently being outside. >t. author of >>348930 and >>348931 and the second post in >>348929

>>348931(me) And here's a "Doll meets Negev for the first time" green that kind of can't exist if Doll's a regular dinner guest.
Matter of factly Doll and Negev's entire relationship changes if Doll semiregularly visits Uzi's brain or even just Uzi: Negev sees her, knows her, and, most importantly, has absolutely no reason to believe she's not a monstrous extension of "mother"(if she sees a mind-palace visit) or just another duped relative (if she's just known to the family). A lot harder to be a fairy godmother when you're just yet ANOTHER adult telling her "nothing's wrong with your mom."
Pavo on an off day. Wearing a tank top and shorts or something, hair's a fucking mess, he doesn't even care. Hanging upside down over the back of the couch.
>>348937 Little sleepy right now, but here's how I was picturing it: >entering Uzi's mind palace isn't a "fly into Uzi" thing, Doll can teleport there >in the timeline my greens are in, Uzi only enters her mind palace for the first time when she finds out Doll's still around; this timeline, with Tessa being active in it instead of escaping when Uzi was absorbing the contents of the AS's, Uzi would enter it a LOT sooner >before Negev, no one except other ghosts, Lizzy, and people who see her out and about in the distance in the dead of night or briefly-very briefly-summon her on Halloween know Doll's still around >i.e., Negev couldn't see Doll going into Uzi's mind palace and she's not known to the family The timeline divergence, if anything, would be Tessa staying in Uzi's mind palace, whereas I've figured she escapes during the transfer and is currently roaming Copper-9, taking in the sights and staying FAR away from outpost 3.
>>348920 >>348922 Something like this is assumed in the premise of Empress Uzi, specifically in the Princess Keeter greens. Uzi's coping mechanisms didn't last long, and direct confrontations with the other three voices as you described is what lead to their assimilation.
>>348940 >Uzi's coping mechanisms didn't last long My interpretation of Empress Uzi, since before the Keeter saga, was that in that timeline all of Uzi's maladaptive coping mechanisms broke down except the "being a fucking chuuni dork" one, which stayed intact because Uzi doubled, tripled, quadrupled, etc. down on being a chuuni dork until she was LARPing as Leto II whenever she went out into public.

You're not making me believe that Uzi *successfully* kept a whole person secret from N for years on end. Likewise it's hard (though at least theoretically possible) for me to imagine N wouldn't tell anyone himself(which would get to V/Thad, which would get to Lizzy...)
Secondarily: doesn't it kind of cheapen Negev's "99 Insight" thing if she's CAN'T see when Doll's present? Just seems strange to attach "I can befriend this character because they don't know the facts about me" to the character most defined by "I know almost all of the facts about everyone and it drove me crazy." Figured the main reason Godmother Doll worked so well was because she was disconnected from Uzi and, if she's as closely tied as this indicates, that would be something Negev could spot.

I personally see the main-host as a "once you're in you can't get out" situation: Doll stops being "Escaped" data the moment she climbs inside(unless and until released, which requires Main Host consent for the same reason Cyn doesn't oilghost out); but that's ultimately up to the Anons to decide.
Mostly arguing this point so hard because of how many interesting problems it solves: Lizzy's grief, Tessa/Uzi arguments, mentally warding against Cyn; all of it is lessened or removed by having Doll on-call. Especially since Doll would have no problems literally or otherwise bitch-slapping Tessa mid argument: >My drones deserve to die! ><agreed> >We dser've to die! ><that doesn't matter> >Uzi should, rightfully, ki- *smack* ><I wish for myself and Aunt Nori to continue existing. Suggest that again and I will be harsher>
It gets a lot more interesting if Uzi has to actually GRAPPLE with the things Tessa says instead of having a Russian solve her problems/beat Tessa into submission, right? And likewise it's a lot more growth for Uzi if she + her fanclub have to slowly work through healing Tessa: a genuine victim of the Solver whose aggressive and unpleasant to deal with, but still someone they want to help. Not only does that set up a J redemption arc in a lot of ways(if the others are redeemable than why not her? if Tessa was worth the effort than why not J?) but it also serves as a good "first step" for the main cast putting their desires aside to do what's right overall: one of if not the defining trait of post canon Uzi/N(which sets up their conflict with Beretta).
If you're going to have them go through these same struggles, why include Doll as a mind place member? If you're not, then why even have the argument? I can't see any way having such a practical, intelligent, and solid-minded individual involved would do anything but shut the argument down at the roots. And if the argument's shut down? Then so is the problem: don't have to grapple with morality when nobody's willing to challenge you on it!
>>348942 I'm probably sloppy in my words because it's late where I am. In my greens, >Doll keeps her presence, including in Uzi's mind palace, hidden from Uzi (and by extension N) until Uzi enters her own mind palace to seek her out, after learning from Lizzy she's still around >only after this meeting does Uzi tell N that Doll's around >Negev coming along means there's now a living person who can see Doll under normal circumstances even when she isn't manifesting a body >Negev can't tell just by looking at her that Doll pops in and out of her mom's mind palace, she's not a telepath >adults all tell Negev, one way or another, that her mom isn't the Antichrist, but the more informed in Solver fuckery ones (e.g. Nori, Doll, Khan to an extent) tell Negev that her mom is the worst thing in the universe now because of an act of self-sacrifice that still weighs on her to this day, and that despite everything it's still her; Negev thinks they're being bamboozled too, but they're still teaching her how to control and use her power so she bites her tongue Again, it's late and I'm tired, might be doing a bad jb explaining
>>348946 Tessa's problems were baked in by decades of torment. It's gonna take a lot of work to help her, and it will be an all hands on deck situation.
>>348941 That's broadly true, but there's more to it than that. The Empress LARP started mostly as a way to improve her self-image. Maintaining the holographic disguise was taking a toll on her and she realized she needed to "come out of the closet". This gave her a way to accept her new state without giving too much ground to Cyn and also a way to compromise with Tessa's moral lecturing.
>>348946 That's assuming Doll chooses to mediate. Doll could be obsessing over escape, and attempting to hijack Uzi the same way Uzi hijacked The Solver after eating Cyn's core.
>>348950 I also don't like referring them as proto-Ds cause thats not what they were created for, the drones they produced were specialized based on their task, or role to aid humans in mission They were not created with the intention of destruction like cyn

>>348948 So are V's + J's yet they're in an "actionable" state.
I'm not talking about them completely fixing Tessa and then moving onto J: just dealing with her "you should go juggle potatoes, you should ALL kill yourselves" attitude so she can start handling a body again. Any therapy or healing or never-see-you-again can happen after Tessa can be trusted not to blow off her own or someone else's head with the nearest railgun and/or not to drag Uzi down "to rest" from inside her own head.
Yes Tessa's full healing would probably take longer than V/J's, but the centerpoint around which her main problems(a refusal to accept a support system) are built is her "your/my death is an absolute good" belief. Take that away and she can at least start the process.
>>348958 >>348949 Though ultimately, it's probably not THAT MUCH greater a degree of damage, relatively speaking. Or something, idk. So tired. Let's talk about something nicer. Like drono dwarfus retardius subspecies.
Season 2 is all about the Assemblers. Horrible abominations of the Infinite Algorithm that leave nothing but hospitals, schools, and several thousand happy drone servants in its wake.

>>348954 >Doll chooses to mediate Problem effectively solved
>Doll wants to kill V still, chooses to hijack Uzi now has exactly one problem and it's how to eject/kill Doll. Tessa's arguments only work when there's room to think/breath.
>Doll wants to escape She's practical and willing to bargain: just ask Uzi to make her a body(like she knows Cyn did for the DDs) and she's got no reason to fight.
... I guess you could write green about Doll trying to kill/assimilate Tessa and have Uzi/Cyn trying to stop her?(since she's clearly a big threat to Doll and Uzi so long as she stays semi-alive) That's the only instance I can think of where Doll getting involved dosen't immediately turn into "Doll conflict: eject Russian to proceed" or "conflict resolved"

>>348959 Yeah but then we're tossing aside one of Doll's main status'(Escaped Data oil ghost) in order to run an "Uzi figures out how to spit/swallow" plot. Is it really worth it so we can include Big Red in a storyline that, ultimately, centers squarely on the actions/nature of the main cast?

>>348947 If it helps this(>>348902) green seems to indicate that Tessa is someone Uzi discovered a while after the post-canon started(and wasn't able to bodyjack/reveal herself like Cyn was). So it's possible neither Doll nor Uzi knew about her existence when Doll chose to leave (or that matter that her being human "hides" her somehow from Doll the same way Doll hides her own presence from Uzi/Cyn)

>>338387 Been a bit. Kinda rusty >Arriving back at the little shack, you peek inside to see Sophie seemingly napping. She looks peaceful. You can imagine why, the noise of rain on the roof and your chassis is comforting in the sense of drowning out any distracting thoughts. No wonder there’s a bit of a disconnect between you and the humans with the weather, because you struggle to imagine how flesh feels when exposed to this. Probably nothing good. Whatever, that’s not what’s catching your attention right now. What’s notable is the structure nearby. You saw those scientists investigating it earlier before packing all their stuff up. You cannot help but wonder what it was they were checking out. Sure, it’s not something any humans built, but wouldn’t this be more of an archeological job than a scientific one? They had so much research equipment, including what looked like a radiation scanner. Would it hurt to check what they were looking at?…Probably. You know how finicky humans can get with this kinda stuff, and you surely don’t want to break protocol. Whatever the hell that is around here, but if they left they probably don’t want anyone touching it before they get back. If they do at least. >Better safe than sorry you say. You wonder what else you can occupy yourself with, and so decide to just absentmindedly scroll through any messages the other Sentinels sent to you. Apparently you have a text chat. Probably good for communication. One, sent from a Sentinel named “Pavo” reads “You’re new, huh? Well, Techie’s mine, so hands off.” Whatever the hell that means. Another one, from the one named Ivory, reads “You’re teeny. It is adorable. Can’t wait for you to see what happens later.” Well that’s kind of ominous, isn’t it? And that’s about it. You have no other messages, so you get the feeling these are habitual and literally every newcomer has read the words you just did. Oh well. Maybe you should just sit down with Sophie for a bit, you’ll think of something. >You go back inside the small building and sit down next to the napping Sophie. You wonder what it is she could be dreaming of. Why do robots like yourselves even sleep? You know that recharging your battery takes a bit, but why did they go out of their way to program that into you, or even if it was programmed to begin with. You’re aware that Drones like yourself are technically advanced learning AI, but to have the ability to simulate functions akin to a human brain is such a strange little detail. You suppose that it’s just a result of your mind developing in that pattern. Sentience and all that. Hell, maybe it isn’t a simulation and thats just the result of the way your AI core works. You feel more like an NI, a natural intelligence, than an AI, but you can puzzle over semantics all day long. Right now, you feel the need to give Sophie a cuddle, because while you were just absentmindedly thinking about Drone core properties, her expression has gotten a lot more tense. It looks like she’s having a nightmare or something. About what, who knows, but you feel the almost fundamental desire to make sure she feels better. You calmly embrace Sophie as you lie down, almost trying to send good feelings into her mind through seemingly sheer force of will. You can almost feel her calm down in your arms. You feel something emanating from her. A feeling of peace. >You sit there for a good long while, watching the rain and Sophie. You don’t have any questions at the moment, because this moment is just all you need. 14/??

>"Doll, is it okay if I go into your room? I wanna clean it up," Lizzy asked the mangled corpse at the kitchen table, as she finished brushing its hair. "I wanna do something nice for you, you know? I wanna give my bestie a clean bed to sleep in." She started to choke up. "Like, isn't it getting uncomfortable sitting at the table all night?" >Lizzy hesitated for a moment, before leaning in and pecking Doll's body on the cheek. She noticed a spot of oil had oozed from the corner of Doll's mouth again. "You, uh, got a little something on your... again..." Lizzy said, a finger brushing against the corner of her mouth. She reached for a paper towel, but then stopped herself. Instead, she wiped the oil onto her finger, then wiped it off onto Doll's tongue before, after a moment's consideration, succumbing to the intrusive thought and sucking what little remained off her finger. That distraction resolved, Lizzy gave Doll's body a short kiss on the lips. "Love ya too, babe," she said, her voice quavering. Shaking off the phantom tears she was starting to feel well up, Lizzy gently lifted the body from the chair, careful not to disturb its hair, and princess carried it down the hall, under the blood red lights. "You look friggin' amazing, by the way," she told it. >Once in Doll's room, Lizzy gingerly set her body down in the chair at her computer desk. "BRB," she said, before leaving to grab her tools: cordless vacuum, heads for the cordless vacuum, microfiber cloth, paper towels, spray bottle, and a fresh shroud for Doll. She put the bundled up shroud on Doll's lap for now, and set to work. >As she vacuumed up the dust and roachbot nests and (after once again succumbing to the intrusive thoughts) ate the roachbot husks she found, hidden under Doll's bed next to a half-eaten arm, a folder. Pulling it out, Lizzy saw there was a label on it: Скучная домашка >Her curiosity piqued, Lizzy paused her cleaning, leaning the vacuum against the shelf Doll kept her board games and collection of basketball memorabilia on. "Is this anything in particular?" she asked the inanimate dead body, unaware of the growing dark shape in the doorway behind her. After pausing to pretend she got a response, Lizzy opened it. >The first thing that caught Lizzy's eye was the drawing's title, "Ю-Ги-О хьюмансона". Lizzy only needed to see that the human it depicted had the same long purple hime cut as Doll before she realized she was looking at something as cringе as anything Uzi had ever drawn with her own humansona. Almost as soon as she saw a glimpse of its contents, the folder was yanked from her hands by a familiar glowing red sigil. "<Don't you fucking dare!>" a voice Lizzy had resigned herself to never hearing again barked. The bags already under Lizzy's eyes were joined by her eyes hollowing out. Slowly, she turned to the direction the voice was coming from. Standing in the doorway, holding the folder full of cringе, was a black, Doll-shaped mass with glaring red eyes and a red jack-o'-lantern mouth. >Lizzy fell to where her knees would be if she didn't have noodly worker drone legs and bared her throat to her former bestie. "Just get it over with..." she muttered. >Doll blinked a couple times. "<Get what over with,>" she asked, before thinking for a bit. "... <Lizzy, I'm not going to kill you for trying to look at my humansona.>" >"Wha...? But I... it's my fault... should have looked for you... shouldn't have..." Lizzy fell flat on her back, her arms laying where they fell. >The folder floated over to Lizzy, before smacking her hard across the snoot. "<You take my body to school with you and put it in my old desk and talk to it. I just saw you kiss it on the mouth. Your sincerely remorseful and utterly embarrassing behavior has long since earned you life.>" A black, upwards dripping hand reached out to Lizzy. "<Get up.>" Her eyes filled back in, Lizzy took the cold, moist to the touch hand, rose, and took a seat on Doll's bed. >"... I never thought you'd have a humansona," Lizzy muttered, before she gave it some more thought. "Though, looking back on you I shouldn't be that surprised. You've always been weird about games and sports." >"<What do you mean weird,>" Doll asked. >"You know..." Lizzy winced, realizing where her mouth had taken her. "Like... Uzi... ?" >An awkward silence descended.>"<Okay? You've gotten pretty weird yourself lately.>" The ghost leaned in to hug her friend. "<Get your shit together, Lizochka.>" Before Lizzy could say something, she felt a cold, moist to the touch kiss on her cheek. "<Want to play a board game once you're done? Your pick. I'll be in the kitchen setting it up.>" >"... That one future Risk sounds good right now." >Doll telekinetically grabbed Risk 3210 AD and teleported out with it. Lizzy briefly considered calling out to ask Doll if her body could be a third player, but dismissed the thought almost as soon as it came to her. She smoothed out the bedspread, laid Doll's body on the bed with its head on a pillow, and laid the shroud over it.

Don't you remember, you told me to "stay out of my way this time, or I'll kill you?"

Harper has nightmares about all the people who've been twisted into nightmares beyond understanding that she has had to mercy kill. Death is a mercy with the Solver.
>>349123 Nice green. When thinking about how regular human soldiers could defeat disassembly drones, I also came to the conclusion that the most effective way would be to play on their sense of self-importance and, shall we say, "eccentricity." Even N liked to show off rather than destroy the target effectively.
>>349131 Let's face it: all the deaths in the show are there for humor. The ease with which minor characters die and the lack of concern is mocked, while the deaths of the main characters (V and Khan) are somehow serious, even though dumb drones should be indifferent.
>>349137 It's not my thing either, but the point is "hurrdurr normalfags are cattle" is universally applied when the show applies it. Humans aren't special.
Harper: >"Though our struggle is difficult, and though our struggle may even be meaningless, I will continue to fight, for I know that defeat means something more terrible than simple death. I am a weapon of mankind, whether I want it or not." Pavo: >"Hear me, for I bring good news, news of doom, the end of your lifes! I am death for the lost and hell for the sinners - I am the hand of our lord! And you made Him angry."
>>349138 Humans are special because they're not drones. Even minor characters like Mitchell or even Tessa's parents have as much personality as many minor characters of drones. Mitchell is truly on par with Thed, if you think about it.
>>349143 >NTA Getting your panties in a twist every time humans are brought up in the context of Murder Drones is kinda silly. Like it or not humans and humanity in general are an important facet of the overall narrative, and just because some people take it to excessive HFY extremes doesn't mean it's reasonable to completely write off everything even remotely human related as being somehow off topic
>>349127 In my imagination of the Solver War era, mostly with heavy weapons like the one I just described, or with powerful energy weapons with strong thermal effects. In the end though not only are DDs costly to take down but they never stop respawning, once the solver establishes a defensible foothold and starts consuming drones and raw matter from a planet there’s little chance for the human defenders to expel it. Power suited human soldiers can roughly 1/1 trade with DDs, but they cost months to train and millions in currency to equip while a DD can be formed as far as we can tell pretty early in a solver outbreak. If we assume that the manor is the minimum critical mass, as we see the infected manor drones melting down and transforming, you need maybe a couple dozen dead drone corpses to form a DD “nest”. And once they appear Cyn seems to be able to respawn them with little to no cost.
>>349154 Yes, they are special because they aren't drones. "Special" in this instance only refers to the fact that they are different from drones, not that they are "better"
Shit I figured it out. >Hates humans >Especially hates the idea of humans doing anything of note >Hates OCs >Especially the sentinel drones (made by humans) >ESPECIALLY the flamboyant killer one >Overall hates half the thread content and thinks they know better >Only plan for dealing with said thread content is to charge in as loudly as possible Threadcop is Uzi.
>>349151 >Reverses the Solver War, turns Cyn into a literal hand puppet which he uses to make voice his opinion about politics and current events on his night show
>Narrowly misses boarding American Airlines Flight 11 (north tower plane) spends his whole career reminding his audience that he missed that flight
>Commits “suicide” under suspicious circumstances, later spotted via drone footage on Little St. James Elliot island, the scandal brings down the British Royal Family, but nobody in America cares
>>349156 During Ns manor flashbacks while he and V are comatose. You can clearly see drones melting into solver flesh masses while what’s left of them grows fangs and solver limbs. Behind V in a flash of lightning there’s what looks like a partially formed DD entwined in flesh growing on the wall. Indicates to me that DDs can arise pretty quickly once this solver flesh starts to grow. It’s also growing in Dolls bathroom, and of course Uzi creates it when she loses control of her powers and it forms a cocoon that she metamorphoses in.
>>349160 >>Only plan for dealing with said thread content is to charge in as loudly as possible Sorry I don't want to identify which greens I've written and open myself up to harassment when I post new greens from then on.
>>349162 >You can clearly see drones melting into solver flesh masses while what’s left of them grows fangs and solver limbs. Timestamp? It's been a while for me.
>>349163 >Wants to use the fact that they write greentexts to make their arguments over thread content sound more legitimate >Refuses to elaborate which greentexts they've written because of potential dramafaggot harassment >Naturally most people don't believe the "Trust me, bro" arguing over the internet Personally I think you're in the right about not wanting retarded drama to bleed into your written works, but at the same time why would you even bother bringing up that you write greentexts in the first place?
>>349174 It adds weight to that anon’s sense of self. He feels entitled to have a word in what happens because he happens to contribute, like its a democracy or something, and he’d like everybody to know.
>>349174 Because I got fed up of being told "hurf durf just write the content you want to see if you don't like slop" like that's not what I've been doing this whole time.
>>349179 I don’t mind what the threads post, the current topic at any given moment is usually what the majority actually wants anyways, and I’m always happy to contribute nonetheless. There isn’t supposed to be a plan or a scheme or a demand to post a certain thing or topic, nor should anybody feel entitled to control what others want to discuss, no matter how much weight they believe they hold. If you’re being serious, then that mindset should be a given.
