Hi Friends! Good night! Or day. You know how it is, talk about the Drones and anything related to them, from OCs to Canon characters, all the type of stuff that includes them, from silly questions to nice facts. I hope you are doing great. The Booru I still love: https://dronebooru.co The wheel of many OCs: https://wheelofnames.com/8hc-stc Last Thread: >>95738
>2 weeks >It has only been 2 weeks since Jane and her squad were deployed to hold ground and “extract survivors” in this city, abandoned completely by God. >Then again if you were to ask Jane, everything on earth was abandoned by God at this point. It was hard to argue against this as living flesh dripped by the walls trying weakly to grab whatever it could. >If you were to ask Bonnie Miller however, she would tell you that all that matters is the people left who fight and those they save. That's how humanity would survive through this horrible apocalypse. >Jane found this sort of thinking insanely naive, optimism and indomitable spirits didnt save the comrades whose own corrupted hands choked them in their sleep. However, Jane could never openly say that to Bonnie's face, her infectious smile was one of the last few truly good things in this unsalvageable war. >They've lost so much ground in the last two weeks, the already weakened squad plummeted into a few handful of troops, at this point they and their species was already dead, it would be better if they just let that giggling monster have the damn pla- >”There!” Bonnie whispered to Jane, breaking her out of her most current existential crisis, pointing in some crumbling building, a faint light glimmered out of the window flashing on and off. Clearly signs of something in there. >”J, it's a survivor! A real person!” Bonnie could hardly keep her voice low with how happy she was, this could be the first success of the week long rescue mission. >”Could be, could also be a real corpse, or a real trap by whatever killed them” Jane replied sarcastically, followed by a quick soft punch in the arm by Bonnie for insubordination. Jane didn't mean to be dismissive; she couldn't help being a realist, but she would be lying if she didn't feel a small tinge of guilt seeing Bonnie now take a pause silently glaring at the building intently. >Jane pondered what to do before looking at her infantry rifle, it was nearly broken, held together with duct-tape, some minor engineering knowhow, and a dream. She checked the clip, nothing left. Their ammo supply back at base was already incredibly low so they had to use whatever was left, she brought the bare minimum for this mission and already wasted the last few rounds on some mutants. >”So, what's left? Should we go in” Bonnie inquired, waiting for a response, her body building up energy. Regardless of whatever possible answer Jane could give, she would rush in to save the person, if there was even a person inside. It was simply her nature. >Jane looked at the empty clip a second, then back at Bonnie. “Well B, there's 2 shots left, one for whatever gets close to you and one for me afterwards, that's good enough?
>The Building was dusty, Jane could swear there was more grime in the air than real Oxygen. She would put on her mask if it, as well with the rest of their dwindling supply, wasn't completely broken. Bonnies however, had a working one, and immediately offered it. Jane denied this claiming to have grown a taste for the dirt in the air, it was better than what they had to eat in the cafeteria. Bonnie giggled slightly before putting her mask on >They crawled their way around the building, slowly, it was an eternity for Jane. Every step up the stairs felt like a week, every slow careful look into each room was an unforgiving decade. They had to be quiet though, they had to be careful, this wasn't their territory and she didn't want to imagine the kind of monsters that could possibly lurk in these shadows. >Soon enough, they heard a cough. A faint cough breaking the utter violent silence of their surroundings. >They would have the be careful Jane thought, anything *could* cough, it didn't necessarily have to be human, the best thing to do now would b- >”HEY! ARE YOU OKAY! MY NAME IS BONNIE J MILLER OF THE 34th GOLDEN EAGLES, WE ARE HERE TO EXTRACT YOU!” Bonnie was already rushing up the stairs before Jane could possibly process what was going on. So much for being “quiet”, she had to run with all her might to keep pace now. >They reached the top of the building, which by now was clearly some kind of apartment building looking at the rubble left at the top among the debris and guts >Bonnie caught her breath for a second before calling out again, “HELLO! IF YOU'RE UP HERE SAY SOMETHING SO I CAN FIND YOU”. By now Jane caught up and grabbed her a second so she couldnt just rush into any more danger without a second thought, giving Bonnie a piercing glare with her eyes that always seemed to be behind shadows. >Before Jane could scold her for being so careless, they heard another cough followed by a whimper “Here…. Over here…. Help me please” >Bonnie had already rushed to the entrance of the room. The voice came from leaving Jane confused how she managed to escape her grasp, not even the strongest mutants could escape her goat strangling hands. >The room was dark, a kind of unnatural darkness that your mind could only see when something of great danger or fear could be lurking, Like a basement late at night. Bonnie grabbed her flashlight, which flickered weakly to life before becoming a full shine, yet another useless army equipment given so graciously by the fine folks at high command. >Jane and Bonnie quickly scanned the room with the light, until they saw a small figure hiding in a closet barely noticeable, before Bonnie could utter a word he put a clearly starved figure to his mouth and pointed to a corner they missed. Dragging the light over all they could see was a shaking figure with its face against the wall, fetal position. >”Are you okay? We are here to help” Bonnie asked the painful figure as she pushed away Jane's cautious hands from her shoulder. >”J, hold this for me, okay?” Bonnie gave Jane her pistol “I'm going to try and get closer” she whispered >”B, are you a complete idiot?!” Jane tried her hardest to whisper, “No, just half of one” Bonnie replied as she shrugged and inched closer, lowering her body to the floor to match where the figure was.
>Inside the Gala, a large beautiful room that once had been the party of the night, was now a bloody mess. >It was a massacre, corpses of the wealthy were scattered about, bodies torn to shreds. >In the middle of the room, was the perpetrator in her true form >Something with too many claws, teeth and eyes >Something that held the sole survivor in it’s grasp >Tessa James Elliot, the heir of the Elliot family. >Cyn held the screaming and crying girl in her grasp >”Giggle, you always amused me Tessa” >Smiling wide with a mouth that had too many teeth; Cyn began to stroke Tessa’s hair, eventually stroking her body with a mocking expression. >”So soft, so warm, so DELICIOUS” >Tessa whimpered, “Wait don-“ >But as soon as Tessa opened her mouth; the demon’s long tongue entered her mouth, wrestling with hers. >Her muffled screams and tugs on Cyn’s head did nothing. >The “kiss” lasted for about 8 seconds; but for Tessa it felt like forever… >When Cyn finally let go, dropping the girl to the ground. > Tessa barely had the strength to sit up on the bloodstained floor while retching in disgust. >And she barely had enough time to react as the monster pinned her to the ground. >Smiling maliciously, Cyn leaned into the terrified girl’s face >”Ready for round two? “
Fun Grunt Drone Fact: >while grunts' simplified speech synthesis means they have less varied voices than other drones, they have a tendency to adopt the accent and colloquialisms of the allies they spend the most time around >the phenomenon is most pronounced in veteran grunt drones, who have had significantly more time to develop an accent than the average grunt >this quirk of their AI occasionally results in unusual combinations if the grunt works closely with two or more comrades who have distinctive accents
>Bonnie inched closer and closer, her hands raised in a non confrontational way. Despite her usual large and intimidating stature, she tried to look harmless. “Listen, I don't know what you've been through, but we aren't here to hurt you, I only want to help you” Bonnie was a few inches away from the figure now, it was still shaking and almost weeping, Jane could feel her heart beating in her chest, B’s pistol felt heavy in her hand. >”Let me get you out of here, kay’ ?” Bonnie put her hand on the figures shoulder now >A loud, ear piercing scream let out, Bonnie was flung across the room, out of it, and hit a wall, hard. Jane could almost hear a bone snap, except it wasn't from Bonnie. As Jane slowly turned away after confirming with her eyes Bonnie was recovering from being thrown into a wall, she looked at the figure again, and more and more audible bone snappings could be heard. >The figure was still shaking, its body shaping and reshaping in every direction, strange yellow liquids pouring out of every hole and a new tear that appeared. The once small weak looking figure was now as tall as the room and then some, having to hunch over just to fit into it. The coward in the closest had it completely shut leaving just Jane and B left. >A god damn Mutant, of course it was >Another loud Howl, something in between a dog and a man let out, as the Mutie launched itself towards Jane for an attack,something she managed to dodge with some effort and managed to shoot off a couple of bullets at her target into its back. Didn't seem to do much but annoyed it more. >Shit, how many bullets did the pistol have left? She wasn't sure if Bonnie was the type to keep count or reload unless she had to. There was no way to know if Jane still had a few left or if this shot would be her last. >”Heeey B, if you're done resting, think you could take some initiative while I check your count? Jane yelled across as the Beast inched closer to her, clearly enjoying the taste of her fear. >Suddenly a Helmet came into the room and hit the Beast in the head, “Over here Ugly, i'm the one who ruined your Beauty sleep! Why don't you pick on someone your own size” Bonnie cried at the stairs, wobbling a little, before running down them as the Beast growled and had a mindless chase bumping into walls on its way down. Perfect >Jane was able to quickly check the mag, 6 shots, not ideal but more than enough. She glared at the closet, her red eyes piercing from the darkness. “Don't. Go. Anywhere” She said to the survivor, who kept the door shut still. >Jane rushed down into the next few floors until she managed to hear some fighting, Bonnie was struggling in the grasp of the Beast as Jane lined up a shot straight into one of its eyes releasing her. >”FIVE” Jane yelled before throwing the pistol back at Bonnie for protection, “Thanks J! You're a lifesaver!” They managed to get down another floor as the Beast recovered from its wounds They hid behind the largest piece of rubble they could find as the shuffling monstrosity ran down, Howled again, and begun its search. >”What's the plan J? You do have one don't you”, Jane was unresponsive. Bonnie knew what this was, Jane had a habit of getting tunnel vision during combat, smiling to herself and occasionally talking to nobody in particular. Looks like it was up to Bonnie to once again figure it out. Bonnie had her own habit, when trying to think really really hard she would begin chewing her inner lip for inspiration. Until, while shifting her eyes around she landed on Janes damaged Rifle >”Hey J, do you mind if I see that empty Rifle of yours? It's a Mk I infantry laser rifle right? Bonnie asked. “Empty, it's not… I said it had two shots left” Jane replied quickly after getting her head straight. “Jane you are a lot of things, but a good liar is not one of them, also you hold your rifle real close to your chest when it's empty” Bonnie joked at her. Jane lowered her head a little, she couldn't even tell Bonnie read her like a damn book. You couldn't get anything past her.
>“What are you going to do with it” Jane was puzzled, the thing was useless for anything but the most dangerous back scratcher. “Well, the thing about the Mk I rifles is that they have a really unstable power core, and this one is a little broken, so” Jane could see the picture now “I’ll get its attention” >Jane got up from behind the debris and whistled. She didn't make a big show of it, being Bait was Bonnie's thing usually anyways, she stood statue like until the Beast turned slowly to her >As the Beast made its charge Jane brought it into an enclosed empty office of the apartment, The beast made its swipe at her which Jane narrowly escaped as she left she threw her Rifle in there making a loud thud. “NOW” Jane yelled >Bonnie fired two shots into the beast's eyes yet again to stun it, then as soon as Jane was out of a potential blast radius she fired one more into the rifle, a brilliant blue light sprang from which lit up the whole of the floor, before a loud Hiss. As soon as Jane could she launched herself on top of Bonnie and dragged her out the front door as the Rifle finally gave off a huge explosion. >Bonnie and Jane were on the floor just outside of the apartments, coughing out dust, and blood. >The apartments were on fire now, but Jane had a sigh of relief there was no possible way anything could have survived tha- >”THE SURVIVOR JANE, WE FORGOT ABOUT THE SURVIVOR!” Bonnie Yelled looking into the growing flames >Oh, that coward. >”Bonnie, he’s probably already dead, and even if he isn't there's nothing you can do about it now, we need to cut our losses and head back into camp” Jane said picking herself up as Bonnie remained on the ground >”Except I can do something Jane, I know I can.” Bonnie replied, her head lower than Jane has ever seen. “I'm going back in. You stay here” >”Bonnie are you insane, thats suicide!” Jane quickly yelled, she tried fruitlessly to grab Bonnie's arm. “J, I have the highest Suicide mission sign up in our remaining army” She said running into the flames, with another damn shrug. >Jane could do nothing now but stare into the yellow flames as the shape of Bonnie disappeared. She fell to her knees, what Bonnie was doing wasn't only stupid it was beyond stupid, and for one worthless life. There were hundreds dying, hundreds more than that, and an uncountable amount of other worthless lives dying for a worthless doomed planet, and the only worthwhile one on it just killed herself to save just one of them. >Jane stayed there for a millennium in her mind, staring, tears in her unblinking eyes. She could feel the heat on her face. She wished there was a way out of this situation, anything to get out of this unending war. She was sick of it, the thought of another day on this rock made her sick, she couldn't go on now. “What if there was a way”
>listening to N's belly with a stethoscope >I tell N it sounds like an ocean >N giggles and tells me about the time the solver deployed him to an ocean world and ordered him to drink the swater to get at the humans living in the oceans below >mfw I don't think he's joking
>Jane popped her head up, she scanned her environment, no one was there, and yet she heard something. It wasn't her voice, that much was sure. >Jane knew it, she's gone insane, there was nothing left for her and now her broken mind found a way to become more broken, what was she even going to do without- >”Cough… Cough Cough” more coughing from the building, Jane flung her body up looking at the entrance as two shapes came out, Bonnie and her survivor that she was carrying. She had some burns but nothing permanent, but she was hurt. >She collapsed onto the floor along with the Survivor, with Jane quickly rushing to her side. “Youre a fucking idiot you know that!” Jane yelled. Bonnie coughed some blood into her face “yeah, well i'm the one with two years of volunteer firefighter training, so there's that, who's the idiot now.” Bonnie coughed every word out, it was clearly a struggle, and then gave Jane a reassuring smile. “Check on him, make sure he’s not hurt” >Jane laid her down softly, before leaving her at her side and checking out the survivor. He was alive surprisingly, his eyes were closed. Jane stared at him for a solid minute, looking at him carefully, and sighed deeply before slapping his face. “Wake up” she replied coldly. The man opened his eyes slowly, he looked up at the sky, the blood red sky as the winged angels flew past them, he was never happier to look into such horror, he was finally, finally saved. >”Thank you, Thank you so much” His lungs felt like cancer but he muttered his thanks as he stood up weakly without any help from Jane. “Who are you? Are we leaving? Do you have a med bay, my arms killing me” he asked softly to the figure before him. >”Follow me” She said coldly again to the man, she was already walking into a nearby alleyway before his response. “Are we leaving your friend? Is there something over there?” He asked, puzzled. She didn't respond, she had disappeared into the darkness now. He stood there, he didn't know what to do, but he really didn't have a choice, where else was he to go? The army woman told him where to go and what to do, and that beat standing her in the open where something else could grab and take him away. So his resolve pushed him into the darkness >The Alley was dark, damp, but one all too familiar to the man. Before the world collapsed he would spend sleepless nights in alleys just like this for any kind of shelter >Among the garbage was her, lighting a smoke from a pack which she had stashed inside her helmet. The light of the lighter illuminated her face a little, and her scruffy dark brown hair, along with her strangely red eyes. >"Come over here" She barked. The man once again did as instructed and weakly marched to the woman. She didnt look at him, instead seemingly past him over at something in the distance. >"Is there something wrong?" He asked, something deep in his gut felt unsettled >The woman paused, almost like she just confirmed something unknown to the man, and put out her smoke. >"Whats your name" She asked >"Its Daniel m'am, my friends call me Dan" He replied quickly feeling almost reassured >"Dan. Dan hold out your arm, your Left arm" >"Are you a medic? Is that why we are over here? Like I said its been killing me" >Jane sighed, the Man reached his hand over to her and she took a step back. She confirmed it one last time, it was definitely mutated. It wasnt all too noticeable, but she could see his yellow veins pulsating inside his arm, it wasnt long now. >She lowered her head and put her fingers against her eyes rubbing them before another deep breathe. >"Dan, Im going need you to turn around. Do me a favor and look into the sun" >Dan was confused now, but up till now she seemed trustworthy enough. So once again he did as he was told. There wasnt really a sun anymore, it was more like an inky black circle where a sun once was. Thankfully this meant it didnt hurt to stare at >"Am I doing this right m'am? Is rescue going to meet us here?" He asked >"Yes Dan." Jane paused for a long time in thought. She thought of Bonnie again for a second as she put her hands on dans shoulders. "Youre going to a better place soon, our camp has plenty of supplies, food, and shelter for you, and- Dan. keep looking at the sun" She lied, her hands were now inches away from his neck. >"Really? How soon can we leave, whats your na-" >Crack.
>Jane made her way over to B's body, she was alive if barely. She kneeled over and carefully lifted her head until Bonnie opened her eyes >"Is he okay Jane? Did he make it" >Jane shook her head, "He died before you even left the building Bonnie. Im sorry" >Bonnie lowered her head down, her long hair covering her eyes as she sniffled a little and let out a quiet damnation. >Jane was never a good liar, but she could read people when she really focused, and she knew Bonnie trusted her with her complete being in this moment. That was some relief >"Lets go home B, you did your best" Jane said pulling her up on her feet. >They marched their way back to camp. Slowly. Yet another Extraction failed.
>It was the end of their two weeks on this cursed camp just outside of the city. >Jane told Bonnie to take it easy, she needed to recover from her words. Bonnie wouldn't hear it, told Jane it was bad for morale if the men saw their unbreakable captain resting in these times >Jane thought such stupid sentimentalism was beyond stupid. Bonnie NEEDED to survive, these men did not. Bonnie stopped taking her pain meds instead offering them to the soldiers left in med bay. Some of them were seconds away from death, all she was doing was making the crossing easier for them. She refused a cane as well, choosing the walk around with a small limp and giving commands to those left. >Jane took a small walk around the base to get her mind off it. Grunts were doing training exercises and polishing what remained of their weaponry. Jane rarely joined them for such petty time wasters, despite being similarly low ranked. >She had a reputation, poor teamwork, recklessness, getting squad mates killed, executing suspected mutant civilians, all of which lead to slaps on the wrists for her. She also had a reputation for the only thing that mattered in this losing war, getting results. >Bonnie meanwhile soared in the ranks for the exact opposite reason, she would do anything as long as it meant some civilians and her squad survived just one more battle, she took on any Suicide mission she could so no one else would, and she got results. >She quickly rose to the top in her squad and won everyone's respect. Loyalty is what kept this squad together through the end, any one of these grunts would lay their lives for her, she would never allow it but they would. Jane was avoided, which she appreciated, she didn't want anyone in her way. >”You Are thinking to yourself aren't you J?” Bonnie said with her smile “You got that wicked face again” >”Do I?” Jane said shaking her face a little, “Yeah I guess I am thinking about our situation, its not good is it” >”Well Stop that! It's an order! You get all grumpy and depressed when you're alone and unfocused, I need you here with me right now. Look, I need someone to run inventory and you need focus” Bonnie handed Jane a list and clipboard, along with a broken Pencil with Earth's logo on it. >great, this was the worst job Jane could have gotten in order to get her mind off things” >Supplies: Ammo: Very Low. Food: Low. Drinkable Water: Low but Jane had fixed a filter which meant they would manage. Equipment: falling apart, worthless Earth Defense junk. >Overall: We are fucked. Jane couldn't write that as an option (the paper specifically forbade it) so she simply chose the “In desperate need” option. >They wouldnt last long without supplies, and even if they did so what. Earth could give them the highest grade weapons, drown them in ammo and food, and it wouldnt change anything about the force they were up against. It blocked out the sun for Christ's sake! Jane wasnt sure whatever was behind this wasnt just playing with the remnants for fun.
>Jane was lost in thought as she heard the speakers buzz alive >”TRUCK, A TRUCK IS COMING! GATHER YOUR WEAPONS AND READY UP!” A grunt exclaimed on the intercom >Jane could hear the distinct sound of a large vehicle coming closer to the camp, she pushed through the shaking Guards and met Bonnie at the gate. >”Open it up, I want to meet them far from the camp to give you Boys time just in case” Bonnie told the Gate operator to which he nodded and opened it up >Jane and Bonnie slowly approached the Truck a good few blocks away from the camp, well it wasn't actually a truck as Jane could tell on approach it was a repurposed school bus which was painted grey and had the Earth Defense logo on it. Which caused Jane to sigh deeply and Bonnie to punch her in the arm again. >”You can come out now, slowly, we’re friends. Are you here with supplies?” Bonnie asked >A man opened the door and exited it with a thump, his boots hitting the ground and splattering mud onto Bonnie and Jane's army rags. He was clearly a soldier like them, and one with some standing. He was able to get an easy job unlike all the drafted grunts and college dropouts they put in the camps. >He pulled out his Clipboard and clicked a Pen. “Are you at camp 3.14-B” He inquired. >”We are! I am so happy to see you, are you here with supplies from the mighty Earth Defense force HC?” Bonnie asked inching closer “We have been trying to contact you for ages, with no response, if you could show me where youre keeping the medical equipment for our boys I will gladly take i- >He clicked his pen again to hush her. “No response huh, that would explain why we haven't heard back from you. We thought you were ignoring us, which is why they sent me.” He clicked his pen again and put it to paper scribbling something. “Do you have our supplies?” He asked >”Y.. Your Supplies?” Bonnie asked. “Is there a misunderstanding, WE need supplies” >”No M’am, We need supplies from you.” He continued never taking his eyes off the paper. “Our factories are running out, our resources are drained, we are collecting from some of our camps chosen at random and transferring what they have to more important battlefields. It says here you have an Ammo Surplus” He showed Bonnie the paper, it was true, marked in red was the words Ammo Surplus. >”This can't be, there was a mistake” Bonnie said, quivering. “We dont have anything to give you, please,” Bonnie continued. “This soldier just did a count, our supplies are nearly depleted!” >””Nearly implies you do have, which I will need” The man scribbled something else. “Please collect it” >Jane’s blood boiled, it took every molecule of will in her body not to strangle this man to death for his disrespect for his soldiers. >”Sir, you have to understand, this is a mistake” Bonnie held her ground. “We are a loyal force, we have nothing left, we have to protect what's left of Humanity HERE.” She stomped her foot on the ground. “Think about the people in this camp, think about the people in that city, we need to keep our humanity alive and every scrap of supplies in this camp matters, anything to save more people, you have to understand” Bonnie said her pinch of salt and waited >The man sighed and scribbled something again. “M’am, what I understand is, you have supplies that other more important defense camps need” Bonnie was about to protest but he cut her off “What YOU need to understand is that we can’t save everyone, you’re squad has reported ZERO successful extractions, This world is more important than YOU and YOUR troops and YOUR sentimentalities” He poked Bonnie with his pen before putting his pen back to paper. “Please, go fetch what you have so I can get out of here, I have more runs to do and you've already taken up my scheduled time” >Bonnie hung her head low, lower then any time Jane has ever seen. Jane was about to take matters into her own hands, get another mark against her by giving retribution to this worthless soldier before Bonnie put her hand on Janes shoulder >”Okay, Sir you said you have more runs to make, have you already done some?” Bonnie asked the man coldly. >”Yes, youre among my last, why” The man answered continuing not to look at her >”Would you mind showing me, so that I know where my men can place your supplies, sir?” Bonnie answered to which they man sighed and started walking to the far end of the bus >”What are you doing B?” Jane whispered before B started following the soldier, as she did she turned and gave Jane a smile and shrug before continuing to follow the soldier out of sight. >It wasnt long until Jane heard a door open, some talking, and then two gunshots followed by a body falling over and out of the truck. >Bonnie exited the truck, splatters of blood on her clothing, a pistol hot in her hand. She stared at Janes confused and for the first time shocked expression >”Jane. I count several crates of ammo, some food boxes, and unmarked boxes. I'm going to leave them on the side of the road. You are to pick them up and take them back to storage. I am going to drive this Truck off road a few miles from her with the dear pencil pusher, and walk back. Tell the Grunts that our HC has so dearly given them the supplies we will need to continue fighting for humanity” Bonnie said coldly staring at Jane unblinking. >The next few moments went past Jane in a blur, from picking up the crates and moving them, to seeing the Truck leave the camp completely, to the celebration of the grunts and praising of Earth. Then, the explosion miles away, then Bonnie's return where she limped into Medbay. Nobody asked what happened, nobody cared. >Jane layed in bed staring into the void, her tent had a hole in it. The Sun was just above her face shining red light into her face, the inky black and yellow void calling to her. She heard faint inaudible giggles. >it has been 3 weeks now since Jane and her squad were deployed to this god forsaken city in this god forsaken world.

>>96751 Cool, anon, I really enjoyed these greens.
Although I can't help but notice that the situation at the end is really on the asshole level. The main thing that should be maintained in an army is discipline. No matter how it sounds, but the army is a mechanism that devours the lives of ordinary people for the sake of victory, and if commanders not only refuse to follow orders from above, but even kill their allies to take diicite ammunition, then the army is doomed.

>>96763 >then the army is doomed That’s sort of my point. Part of the point of this green is watching Bonnie slip and fall until she breaks at the end and kills someone in order to guarantee supplies for her squad. Throughout the green I note how bad Earth defense equipment is, how they’re clearly abandoning their troops, and how doomed it all is. Bonnie is one of the only optimistic parts left in this war and even she’s slipping. The army and world is doomed regardless of if Bonnie’s doomed her squad or not, Bonnie’s simply took the initiative in her own way to guarantee their survival which aligns with her sensibilities. Jane has given up, the bus soldier has as well, but not her. What Bonnie did is a foil to what Jane will end up doing in the future. I’m glad you liked it :)
>>96766 Bonnie basically refuses to be apart of the armies human meat grinding machine, she really isn’t suited for war in the slightest. She’s reckless, naive, she’s kind to a suicidal fault, she would never do what needed to be done (outside of this incident), she’s a flawed soldier because she is such a kind soul. Jane is a machine at this point, a husk of a person, the perfect soldier, she doesn’t care about human lives outside of B, she does what she must to survive and for a mission.
>>96767 I was thinking about this while writing, but I want to believe these events are close to the end of Janes time on earth. Not directly leading to the B journal greens, but close to it (maybe a few weeks out). Jane is already succumbing to the solver at this point and I like to think seeing that B isn’t as incorruptible as Jane had thought, and that maybe Jane has made Bonnie this way, is apart of whag pushed her into doing what she did later. Sorry if this is a ramble I still have a lot of thoughts I couldn’t add to the green.
>>96768 Assuming if humanity managed to somehow win the war, what would Bonnie and Jane do with the rest of their lives? Could they live with themselves? I’ve seen it mentioned that Bonnie would probably work as a school teacher, but what about Jane?
>>96768 Jane would pretty obviously view B with rose tinted glasses years later on Copper-9 far removed from the war, B like everybody else was probably as fucked up as Jane was if not far more I believe there's a chance that Jane's sanity tolerance is just really high to the point that she can't recognize how bad things really were (which makes her silly side less unsurprising in retrospect). She might just be projecting her own traits onto the story of B in order to rationalize her wartime behavior as well
>>96770 The Amazing Digital Circus Episode 2 but only when Ragatha is on screen This isn’t something I have thought of much tbh. I could definitely see Bonnie being a school teacher, it would be cute if anything she’s definitely has that vibe. Probably mostly because I HC Bonnie as sounding like Ragatha lol and she has a similar vibe. Jane, I’m not sure, probably join the police or work as a detective. It would be nice to think she finished her degree and worked as an engineer bettering humanity, possibly building defense so the solver war never happens again. Either way Bonnie and Jane would have stayed together and lived happily ever after, if humanity won, if Cyn didn’t put her talons in Janes weak brain, if Jane didn’t turn off that fence, if Jane didn’t enter that pod, if Jane wasn’t so cowardly. You know, if.
>>96775 Bs not dead! She’s right there! Sure her name isn’t “Bonnie” and she isn’t a “human” and she acts nothing like her, but they’re both blonde! They’re both kind! It’s like she’s not gone, which she isn’t. This world might be a cold desolate wasteland full of drones and monsters but B is still alive dammit.
Beretta getting possessed by the ghost of Bonnie It isn't as fun as you think She stopped pretending to be an optimist a while ago She also managed to rationalize Jane's betrayal out of love, it's kind of disturbing Jane kind of wants the regular Beretta back
>>96727 Literally no reason for them to have such a simple simplified speech. The hardware is cheep as hell and the software is negligible. This only serves to potentially confuse people. Alternativly why do they need one at all if they have the 'Psycomms'. Where this this psychic stuff even come from sounds dumb as shit
>>96787 Lizzy might be having some conflicting feelings about this On one hand: it's Doll the super hottie On the other: it's Doll in the stinky femcel's body
20 times head storage space 4 times the schizoid and paranoid behavior the same lust for n's and men cannot remember her death will continue working at the factory at her peak
>>96792 No. They are done guys you have to realize this. ITs better to have something short and sweet then something exaggerated. We are an extremist bunch tho and since there's still money to be made why not. Liam didn't think this trough well enough but at least he got to do a thing. I only hope that in the future he makes another thing.

>>96773 You are allowed some good ending art It makes their story more depressing thinking of the What Ifs
Ammo Surplus - Epilogue and ending
>It was a long night >A very long night. Jane's night terrors were already bad enough, this was unlike anything she's ever experienced. Hands grabbing at her, giggling endlessly, her skin being replaced by robotic parts. >She didn't want to think about it. She woke up, and went through her motions. She wasn’t the only one doing so. She caught occasional glimpses of Bonnie, less lively then usual. Telling her grunts where too take what, where we had space, what to do with what supplies she gathered. >The Supplies. Jane couldn't get her head out of that moment. What happened there? That wasn't the Bonnie she knew, she would never. Except she did. She did and Jane watched it happen. Could Jane have prevented this? Could she have been there in B’s place, holding B’s pistol, shooting that man in the back? That was something Jane could wrap her head around >Jane continued to go through the motions, replaying moments in her head, wondering “what ifs” her thought grew darker, and darker. Voices clawing at the back of her skull, until she didn't want to think anymore. >Jane looked around for a moment to get her focus off this, and did not see Bonnie anywhere. >Jane pondered where she could be, then almost immediately figured out she was in her Green place. >Beyond the gate, through a clearing, through some bushes and past some gore trees, there was a hill in a clearing with a single tree. The Green place as Bonnie called it, as it was seemingly the only place left in the world untouched by the apocalypse, not a drop of blood, no mutated fauna, just a simple clearing. >Bonnie said it reminded her of home, playing in her family's fields, building treehouses next to her farm, and sleeping under trees. Jane didn't have this childhood, she was used to city streets, alley ways, and cheating at dice for cheap booze. >Jane eventually entered this clearing, and sure enough sitting by a tire swing Jane and Bonnie put together was Bonnie, staring into the city line under a inky sun. >Jane walked over slowly,feeling the grass and clear air, before she took a seat inside the tire swing and began to move back and forth. >There was an uncomfortable silence between the two. However, it was also almost peaceful. There was very few times in this war there was *silence*. There was quiet, there was the deafening lack of noise in a possibly empty building you knew was crawling with life, but almost never silence. >Jane was the first to say something, a simple “Hey”. Bonnie took a second and replied back “Hey” >”So you are alive” Jane Joked, Bonnie chuckled “I didn't think you could tell jokes.” She replied >”I have my moments,” Jane said back. “Hey, do you want to talk about i- >”No” Bonnie replied sharply >More silence, more peaceful serene quiet between the two. Cool air pushed on their faces as the world burned around them. A painful red sky shadowing over the city they were sent to save or die trying. >”Jane.” Bonnie began. “Do you think there's still people in that city, real people?” >Jane had to take a second carefully thinking about her reply. “No” she eventually said. That is not what her brain cooked up, that is not the thoughtful reply she played in her head. She was supposed to say “Of course there is B, there will always be more people for you to save and run in recklessly getting yourself almost killed in the process!” but her nature betrayed her >Bonnie didn't react, more quiet. Jane could hear what sounded like birds in the distance for once. >”Jane” Bonnie finally said. “Do we have any hope for survival, is our planet doomed?” >Jane didn’t respond for a second. Deep down Jane knew this isn’t the question Bonnie meant to ask. What Bonnie meant to say was “Despite everything, did I do the right thing?” >Jane didn’t know how to respond to this. Jane knew the real answer, and she knew what Bonnie wanted to hear. Neither would make her happy, Jane had to think of something else. >More painful silence. The air didnt feel as still anymore. >”B, someone once told me being alive isn't just survival. That humanity is better than cowering alone in fear of something worse than our day to day misery, that we show our best in moments when we do things for others and not just ourselves. Not just because it's right, but because it's what we need.” Jane said “That to be selfish in these times, you're better off dead” >There was quiet again. It wasn’t as painful, it wasn’t as dark. Even the red sky didn't look so ominous anymore. >Bonnie lowered her head onto Jane's lap, they stayed like this for a while. Looking ever deeper into the horizon. >”Jane, I enjoy these moments we spend together” Bonnie said before closing her eyes to fully enjoy this moment. Jane. said nothing. >This was an enjoyable moment. Precious in its rarity. A moment Jane wished could last an eternity. >Except it wouldn't last an eternity. Eventually they would have to get up, and walk back to camp. They would have to pick up their rifles, count their ammo, and go extract people who arent even there for a world that's on fire. >Jane did not enjoy lying to Bonnie, Jane did not enjoy speaking words she did not believe in, not anymore, but what Jane did enjoy was this treasured moment where she knew Bonnie was happy if only for a moment. She had to treasure this moment, because she knew there probably weren't many more left.
>>96807 nuh, that's the 4th the first one died a slow death, the second one escaped and it became MIA, and the third one had an unfortunate death of impalement as her memory drive was taking a toll on her perception
>>96822 Enough to write a message on the pod. Lay down on the ground and bleed out looking up at the sky. It wasn’t especially quick, but honestly she couldn’t feel anything at that point even if she tried.
>>96836 I hate myself (but Daddy Washington loves V) >You sit in the carriage, trying not to notice the harsh bumps as it rattles along the dirt road. >Your younger brother, Samuel Washington, sits across from you, dressed in finery that makes him look quite… foppish. >After a significant amount of effort, he managed to convince you to take time to come along to Williamsburg from your estate at Mount Vernon, although you still have doubts about the entire affair. >After all, your wheat and tobacco will need to be harvested soon - is it really wise to make a social appearance at the critical harvest time? >Samuel seems to detect your concern. He reaches over and pats you on your knee. >“Trust me, Georgie, this ball will be quite a time. You shan’t regret it, I promise.” I am not so certain, Samuel. I doubt that anyone wants to see me. >“Don’t be so silly, brother! You’re a hero - brigadier general, freshly minted in those engagements with the French and those other savages! All the women will be dying to meet you!” >Samuel wiggles his eyebrows at you in a manner unbecoming of an upper class gentleman. >If Lawrence were still alive, he wouldn’t approve of your antics… but at the same time, you had already come this far. >With a sigh, you slouch back into your seat. … very well. >Samuel grins. But I am holding you to your promise to help me make up for time lost in harvesting when we return. >“On my most solemn honor, brother.” >His expression grows exaggeratedly grim, as though you’re making a deal jeopardizing his very soul. >The coachman bellows out an announcement. >“Lords Washington! We have arrived at the city. We shall reach the Governor’s Palace in a few moments.” >Samuel immediately perks back up, pushing his face against the carriage window to take in the sights of the city. You absentmindedly gaze out after him. (1/4)
>>96847 >Candlelights illuminate the streets; despite the sun having nearly set, Williamsburg still bustles with activity. >Merrymakers lurch out of the taverns, with the Kings Arms having a few less fortunate souls sprawled around in an inebriated stupor. >A handful of the passersby are similarly well-dressed to you and your brother - they will likely be at the ball as well. >“The Governor’s Palace, sirs!” >The coachman reins the horses back, the carriage drawing to a stop in front of the largest of the three gates into the estate. >He opens the door and helps the both of you down and out of the compartment; you turn to Samuel so that he can pay the man his due, but it appears that your younger brother has already gone ahead into the palace. >Typical. With a sigh, you withdraw your coin purse and fish out a shilling and three pence. Is that suitable to keep you for the night at a tavern and see us back tomorrow as well? “Yes sir. Thank you, sir. Have a pleasant evening, milord.” >He remounts his seat and rolls away. >“Brother, are you coming in?” >Samuel evidently thought you were too slow and returned to retrieve you. I thought we would go in together… and that you were paying for the carriage. >Your brother avoids eye contact, whistling nonchalantly. >“I don’t recall saying anything to that effect… but enough squabbling, come on, come on!” >The two of you head inside the palace. >The entryway is abuzz with activity, nobility and high society socialites filling every available inch of room. >The two of you weave past them and into the ballroom, where lively music is being played. >As you enter, the innumerable hues of silk and velvet try to snatch your attention from all directions. A relatively plain dress, with darker colors (indicative of mourning) catches your eye. I say, Samuel… who is that? >“Over there?” (2/4)
>>96848 >Samuel leans in conspiratorially. >“That’s Martha Danridge Custis. She’s a very wealthy widow, I’ve heard, and so young too - only 25! If you married her, your political future would be secure.” >Martha sees you and gives a shy little wave. >“Oh! She’s seen us!” >He grins. >“Well, I suppose we have no other choice but to go speak with her now! Come on!” >The two of you start to make your way over when a flash catches your eye outside the window. >“George? Why did you stop?” I… I thought I saw something out there. >“Probably just a servant. Maybe a slave. Nothing to be concerned about- hey, George, where are you going?!” >You pull your arm away and hurry to the door outside. >The gardens behind the palace are also lit, albeit much more weakly. >Bugs hum in the warm summer air, growing louder as you grow further from the party inside. >You warily approach the hedge maze, the general location of the… thing you saw. Hello? Is anyone out here? >Your question is answered as cold metal pushes against the back of your head. A mocking, and yet lilting, voice responds amusedly. >“Yeah, I am. “ >You turn to look at your accoster and behold an angel (who happens to be pointing a gun at your head). >Her appearance is unlike that of any woman you’ve ever beheld - pearl-white skin, silver hair, and glowing eyes - and yet still distinctly feminine in her shape and voice. >You are smitten; if you hadn’t powdered your face earlier, you’d be glowing red from your blush.
>You are broken out of your enraptured state when you realize that an arm of this fair creature appears to be dangling by a thread, with black… rock oil dripping from the wound. >In fact, she looks to be fairly injured. >An impact crater nearby suggests she quite literally ‘fell from heaven’. Are you alright?! I can find some medical- >“Oh, I’m fine. Just a little disoriented, but that’s okay. Which is more than you’ll be in a minute if you don’t answer a few questions.” >She grins, exposing a mouthful of jagged teeth. (3/4)
>>96849 >“So, what are you supposed to be? Another of the Solver’s holograms? A twisted memory of the Elliott’s overblown ‘neo-archaic’ parties? C’mon, speak!” >She pokes you again with the gun. >“What’s wrong with you, anyway? You’re not even screaming.” I… I am awestruck by your beauty. >The strange woman’s eyes reappear, although as hollowed ovals this time. She blinks, evidently confused. >“What?” I apologize if this is too forward but… I believe I have fallen in love with you. Pray, may I ask the pleasure of knowing your name? >The sarcasm and threatening tone are gone. Shyly, she brushes back some of her hair. >“I-I’m V.” >She stutters with a glowing blush of her own before shaking herself out of it. >“Wait wait wait, I’M the one asking the questions, Mister Smoothtalker! Where. Am. I?” >She punctuates each sentence with a prod of the gun barrel into your chest. You’re in Williamsburg, Lady V. One of the largest cities and the capital of the Commonwealth of Virginia. >V doesn’t look particularly happy about this information. Cautiously, she continues. >“... and the year?” The seventeen hundredth and fifty-eighth since the death of our Lord Christ. >“Keep the religion to yourself, wiggy- wait, did you say 1758?” … yes? >It wasn’t really a secret. >V looks shaken. >“Oh no. Oh ROBOGOD no. I… I can’t…” >She staggers away slightly; you reach to help her keep her balance but she points the gun at you again. >“St-stay away from me! You’re lying, you’ve got to be!” Me? I would never tell a lie, not since my youth, and especially not to a lady! >She looks distraught, searching the starry skies wildly. >“I… I need to get out of here. I need to find N and Uzi, NOW.” Are they your friends? I can help you search! Wait, please! >Two massive wings unfurl from her back and she takes flight with a single flap, soaring off into the dark as you watch awestruck. >She… she really WAS an angel. >You kneel on the ground, wondering if you shall ever have a chance to meet her… V… ever again. (4/4)

>>96865 you the writer/artist? if so, it happens. dronetism has its ups and downs. and it's 4chan. it comes with the territory. however, i have a few suggestions. it's fine to design and give them some of those traits you've written but have something in mind, a story where those features get used in important scenes. where they matter. like i can see the silent communication ability mattering in a story where a DD is out hunting for them, and they have to coordinate in silence. maybe it can be told from the perspective of a human soldier who witnessed the event unfold. i think design-wise, they're fun. shortstacks are cute.

I figured putting quotes around it made it apparent that it's not the real thing but I guess not. it's just wireless communication and transmission of their sensory feeds

Alright here's my totally cool OC idea. So get this, they're a human from Da Solver Ware and de have da tragic backstory, but they make a deal with Cyn who is going around making deals for some odd reason, so they become like her slave, but also not, because Cyn never tells them to really so anything so they can hang out with all the other OCs

I love Murder Drones so much that I've decided to expand the universe of it . I've also created my own OCs which shall take place on this planet, as well as some other unique creatures
>>96912 You may or may not baiting but you have a point. I also don't like ocs who are unique and super powerful just because and totally awesome and angsty and they cut through the genocidal flying meat grinders like hot knife through butter because this is how awesome they are.
>>96917 What you have done is go away from the original setting of this world I have fallen for. To even expand on this world and make something that doesn't take place on Copper-9 is insulting to me. All of this must take place on this one singular planet and yet it must also always revolve around the main canonical cast, to even imply that there is a whole other world to explore is insulting
>>96925 Fuck, I hate this. An entire galaxy with only three biomes populated by humans in rubber masks or painted skin colour. And then Disney made the fashion look mundane and present day.
OPTIMUS PRIME just DIED and now V has the MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP and is fighting the DECEPTIONS
LET’S HAVE A TIBERIUM WAR IN CHAN NEBULA (there will also be Necrons)
what’s that? earth blew up? NOPE I just finished putting back together like a jigsaw puzzle and now MG and THE EMPEROR OF MANKIND have teamed up to USE N & UZI TO SIPHON HOPE’S NON-EXISTENCE POWERS TO REWRITE REALITY AND ONLY BERETTA CAN STOP THEM!!!!!!!!!!
I FUCKING LOVE SCI-FI SETTINGS RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHHHHH
>>96919 You just described every sentinel drone oc.
For real tho, the powerscaling is kinda fucked when ypu take even a bit to think about the setting and its even self aware of that at times, and i love it because of that.
2/3rd of the main protagonists are "genocidal flying meat grinders" with the other 3rd being something worse by the end of the show. If you wanted to make an oc that could fight those kinds of things on equal footing, powerscale is just going to end up making characters like what you described.
Its like trying to make an oc that would be an equal fight to a setting full of halo spartans, whatever you end up making is eather gona be built as a hard counter or just busted in general.
>>96932 NTA if everything is proportionally overpowered then nothing’s overpowered If a DD can lift an apartment building over its head then that’s just the baseline that everything’s needs to be balanced against ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>96932 Sentinel Drones have just become very flanderized. The original lore has them dying all the time and war is just barely being held together in a crumbling stalemate.
>>96919 To be fair, my genocidal meat grinder is overqualified but utterly useless (and reckless) such that she actually endeavours to improve via new image and training.
Of course, she has to face actual threats from basically Cyberpunk-tier geared up thugs with her teammates but yeah. That said though, I've probably hit a common pitfall somewhere along the line. >SUCH AS NOT WRITING MORE FOR THE DUMBFUCK
>>96942 There are multiple different versions or AU's of the original Sentinel Drones that have sprung off, so don't sweat it too much. The Becca lore blurb you posted fit well enough into the most popular SD offshoot. At the end of the day, you're free to tell whatever story you want.
>>96932 >If you wanted to make an oc that could fight those kinds of things on equal footing, powerscale is just going to end up making characters like what you described. OP OCs can be fun and I'll probably make one some day, but this kind of thing is why I designed grunts to be, well, grunts. cannon fodder. a single grunt is basically never going to beat a lone DD/SD without a good plan and an advantageous environment it can use to trap or deal serious damage to the DD. DDs are simply magnitudes more powerful than GDs. however: Bees Kill A Giant Hornet With Heat | Buddha, Bees and The Giant Hornet Queen | BBC Earth (@3:45)
>>96937 JC could be MG's apprentice, being taught that lying and scamming and cheating isn't about the money, it's about the spirit of ripping people off
>>96952 I meant it more as a strength in numbers thing but considering DDs' heat issues if you ignore N surviving reentry and GDs running a bit hot they might actually be able to do something like that
>>96932 >You just described every sentinel drone oc. Yeah, they suck dick. I prefer to treat them as inferior to DDs and every mission could be their last. I want to retain the atmosphere that humanity is facing a serious existencial threat at the hands of something they can't understand or currently match. Every teen wants to write the baddest badass in badasstown but no teen understands that a character is as big as the foes he faces and the limitations he has to work with. Kat's virus would damage her and put her in danger. Her weapons had to be fixed frequently and most of the time she would avoid or hide from the DDs. Also pwning DDs wasn't the sum of her personality.
Honestly 90% of the appeal of sentinel drones isent the power scaling or how strong or cool they are in a fight.
Its the fact that these things are even more of a emotional envormental hazard then even the unhinged disassembly drones.
The fact that noone in the universe, from the eldritch entity eating planets and making vampire robots, or the researchers using scavanged tech from said vampire robots to build something to counter them, knows how to keep their soldiers mentaly stable. Even the fucking raptors are unhinged.
The appeal of the sentinels drones to me isent their combat ability, its how they act when wiping a city block wont solve the problem (they need to figure out how to order McDonald's)
Seeing as how Drone's all had their own unique ID like how Cyn's name came from her "Marked For Disassembly" serial code, this implies that there exists out there a poor Drone/DD named >SD-Fagg
>>96963 haven't given a ton of thought to their internal workings outside of the stuff I already posted, but for now I'll say they use whatever earlier WDs used
>>96965 Sentinel Drones are actually in the exact same situation that the Disassembly Drones are in: A worker drone, horrifically tortured and experimented on, turned into a weapon of war against her will; cloned a million times, all with their memories heavily suppressed and fucked with to prevent them from remembering all the horrors their human masters inflicted upon them. And the moment they start to remember, they either get their memories reset back to zero, or get disposed of
I recently did a proper reading of Phoenix so I could get a good grasp of K's character for the story I'm writing, and honestly, Holly very much reminds me of Cyn. There's this part where Holly tells K that it doesn't matter if she doesn't obey her, because she'll just have K terminated and replaced with another backup that will be more obedient.
>>96968 That was SD-I's old designation. Pavo was set to have it but the sentinel hacked the ID registry at the last minute to avoid being a stereotype.
>>96967 >The Grunts capture Y >Clever girl that she is, she tries to manipulate her captors >She uses her feminine charms >The Grunts fall for it >Not because she is good but because her height reminds them of humans >Y takes a lot of chubby D >She is no closer to controlling the Grunts but now she has cigarettes for days
>>96832 It isn’t. But that doesn’t take away from its quality, I rather enjoyed that green and reading for B. It goes without saying that I’m not the absolute authority on these characters and you can read/ write them however you want. B was a pure soul so it’s perfectly believable she’d forgive Jane if you wanted to write that.
>>96932 I’m the guy who does Harper. Sentinels, compared to DDs? >+Generally more advanced weaponry >+Better logistics and training >+More specialized per individual >-No regen, need to be manually repaired via nanite fluid and good old fashioned mechanics >-Gargantuan numbers disadvantage >-Extremely difficult to create Make no mistake, they can usually win a fight against a DD, but this is war. It’s not determined by individual units, but by those individuals working together
>>96985 I think Boxo is helped by the fact he's so ridiculously out of place that he can either be interpreted completely seriously or as an ironic inclusion due to how absurdly easily he flattens everything and everyone else
The biggest question I have is, where did The Solver come from? No, not how did it appear in their reality, but where did it's ship take-off from to get to Copper-9? That added with J trying to fix the ship implies that there's some extremely important physical place she needs to get to
>>96946 Leaving aside the hard canon of Nuzi and Khori and Darrebecca? >Rule 63 Nuzi >Rule 63 Khori >canon Jessa (J hasn't told Tessa about her unrequited longing) >straight Jessa (Proto-J hasn't told Tessa about his unrequited longing) >Dizzy and Vizzy (Doll and V are the only one in Lizzy's circle who she's friends with benefits with instead of just friends... so far) >the unfortunately named Jizzy (J entering expands Lizzy's friends with benefits circle into a proper monstergirl harem; Lizzy doesn't mind it when J slips up and calls her New Tessa) >Amda x a dreamy sentinel handler from Australia (Alice got Beau's hat from his corpse) >Thad x Rebecca (timeline where Rebecca doesn't bleed out; most drones don't really care either way about differences that aren't actively threatening them so Rebecca likes she can actually talk with Thad about how her disability makes her feel) >Anon ships in general >Uzi and the Solver x N and the Solver fragment in him (welcome to the world, Mordred Doorman) >Kurt x the terrifyingly thirsty queers in his chat (one sided on Chat's part) >Liam x his girlfriend x Goose
>>96983 liana flores - rises the moon (official music video) Reposting Bonnie’s theme for no reason By the way, does anyone else have that other theme where I think somebody said it was from the prospective of Bonnie tot Jane was something about a red glow I think
>>96904 Yes. I'm confident in my writing style and I like it a lot. Even with marked improvement, I find that what I've done holds up. Even in art I've been working long enough that there's now a back-catalogue of works that don't provoke instant visceral bueno.
>>96977 >Dr. Holly is Cyn's cute puppet >there was never a chance to begin with >she's been Emperor Palpatine-ing the fight the whole time >all so she could ship her cute puppets together >look at this cute couple: >a kind-hearted disassembly drone boy rescues a sentinel drone girl after she is overwhelmed and nearly killed in an ambush >he drags her from the battlefield, using his own regenerating parts and mechanical aptitude to bring her back to function >love blooms on the battlefield, the two bonding over their similar traumas >she gets that thick disassembly dong delivered directly to her sentinel pussy >eventually, the sentinel drone's squadmates close in on her location >the disassembly drone boy begs her to shoot him- he knows he will be remade and sent back into the fight >one day they will meet again and meat again, giggle >weeks pass, both sides fighting over a rock long depopulated of mankind >the sentinel drone girl is rotated back to base >psychological screening detects unacceptable levels of cognitive dissonance, her memory is wiped, she is reset to factory default, and sent out again >nearly overwhelmed by the forces of the solver, she is saved by her disassembly drone boyfriend doing a little bit of subtle teamkilling >they lock eyes together, his kind boy eyes meeting those of a hardened killer >his expression falters, something is wrong >she raises her arm cannon and blows his chestplate away >his squirming core tries to plead with her, telling her about all the times they had together and what they shared >only for her peg-leg to stomp down on him, splattering him across the battlefield >reforming in the bio-reactor, the disassembly drone boy howls in rage >betrayed and heartbroken, he curses man and drone and solver and god alike for what they have done >tearing his way from the flesh womb, he spreads his wings and rockets towards the last known location of his once-lover >the two will kill and be killed for eternity, never knowing peace, never again knowing love >the bottomless rage of a scorned lover pitted against the cold machine logic of a mind-wiped battle slave
>>96993 >smth like this? until it contradicts or gets in the way of something more interesting, yeah >Can run on their own, like worker drones not quite sure what you mean here. they're autonomous if that's what you're wondering, though they tend to work under human/drone leaders >'need' to eat like DDs to gain power they don't need to eat to stay powered, but it is necessary for them to collect matter to self-repair. they might regain a minute amount of energy from this but typically it zeros out or even drains their power a bit. >charge yes, they need to charge. alternatively they can run on traditional fuel in a pinch by literally guzzling gas, but this isn't optimal and causes them to run hot
>>96973 I knew those chubbies had a fetish for humans.
By the way, quite an interesting concept: if drones have the same emotional intelligence as humans, then the humanophilia programmed into them guarantees that there will be no uprising of machines.
If everyone is talking about their attitude towards sentinel drones here, I will also share my important(no) opinion:
I like sentinel drones because they protect humanity. Yes, I like grunts and Becca for the same reason. In all sci-fi, robots are bound to hate humans, and humans are bound to hate them(even if it doesn't make sense), and that frankly frustrates me. I would like more shows where robots love humans, or at least protect them.
>>97027 But anon, once your Sentinel GF's memory blocks crumble and she remembers what you did, she's not gonna fight for you anymore. But that's why there's multiple AU's. Everyone can have their own interpretation to write and do whatever they like with them.
>fun DEFINITELY TRUE AND NOT MADE UP OC fact: after failing miserably to reverse engineer disassembly drone arm weapon technology, Dr. Holly instead based sentinel drone arm weapon technology on transformation cog technology instead, provided curtesy of Dr. Holly’s longtime business partner and the closest thing she has to a friend besides Bellatrix, Shockwave of the Decepticons
>>97027 Fun Grunt Drone Fact: >aside from particularly disillusioned veterans or units rendered mentally unstable, most grunts have a baseline respect for humans and a strong drive to protect civilians >they admire the bravery and resolve of their human allies charging into battle despite being more susceptible to damage, more difficult to repair, and unable to recover from a fatal blow. >they have even been known to defy direct orders in order to recover a wounded human squadmate >they won't blindly continue to respect someone who mistreats them, however, even if they don't make this loss of respect known
>>97034 >Anon missed the actual sign for drone sexo, which was right next to the box >Said drone babe watches in horror as Anon sizes up and then absconds with the cat, cackling maniacally
>>96809 >>96751 Just read this, amazing green. Feel really bad for Jane, especially with the picrel. I cant tell if I think shes a massive piece of garbage or not considering she eventually betrays B anyways
Sentinels drones replaced the office AU word for word There were harpers pavos and other assorted dickheads before, they were just disassembly drones back then
>>96912 My eyes kinda glaze over with most of the thread's OCs, are there any human OCs whose "deal" or whatever with the Solver saw it turn them into an eldritch Cronenberg that can shed their facade of humanity at a moment's notice?
Are the OCs who hate DDs justified in their anger? Are they morally in the right to kill them including the ones who know their true purpose and who didn't want to be what they are?
>>97050 it’s a figure of speech pedro there were CHARACTERS like harper, avre, and other dickheads back then who were all disassembly drones before everybody learned they weren’t jcj products
>>96590 I must have missed that when watching the episode. I just made her a ginger like Louisa cause they are supposed to be sisters in this. The more you know I guess.
>>97055 >Are the OCs who hate DDs justified in their anger? Yes. >Are they morally in the right to kill them including the ones who know their true purpose and who didn't want to be what they are? How compelling. Please face the sun now.
>>97055 Anon. Why would you need a proper in-universe reason to hate DDs? Especially considering that literally everyone knows them as "Murder Drones" aka creatures that kill things.
>>97062 sentinel drones are dogshit donut steels, notice literally every new bottom tier writefag oc creator turns his character into a sd because he didn’t know how actually write his character
>>97062 Human OCs are just garbage and bad, especially Jane. Not exhausting cutting wrists edgy green is going to change that, if anything it makes it worse.
>>97078 >Wont kill her because she makes him horny Very unfederation post of you, Anon. You, along with her, shall be executed in an incineration chamber.
>>97081 >"Cyn, what have you done?!" >"Giggle, I have turned the entire universe into Radical Highway. Come, brother N, and experience Radical Highway."
>>97079 You fucking staff rats sit in your offices and don't see what's really happening on the battlefield. If you bastards would get your fat, pampered asses to the front lines, you'd see why I hate DD, and you'd see why I fear her.
>>96721 >"[Giggle] Did I tell you that their minds are still here?" >Tessa just sort of stares at Cyn. "What?" >"Not here." Cyn taps her head. "But somewhere. I let them watch. Every time. N and V are so sad, J is so angry. So disappointed. It's funny to me." >Tessa spends the rest of the month just crying.
>forcing L to attend a nunnery >making L take vows of chastity >making sure to visit L as often as possible to tempt her into breaking her vows >L literally vibrating with barely-contained sexual lust whenever she sees me >getting jumped by nun L
>>97062 Some Anons seem to feel like they're owed some kind of consistent flow of contentslop that caters to their exact ideals of what is good, as if they paid money for it or something. Generally speaking I see a trend of people whinging about OCs being completely devoid of any of the various artistic talents themselves. Maybe if they converted every minute they spend complaining and berating others into time practicing how to draw or write, they would be delivering cool artwork or interesting and well thought out characters. This is a joke, of course. They will never do this.
Is anyone else noticing a very distressing trend when it comes to new Ocs? >New OC comes out >Maybe a few bits of praise and idea workshop >Almost immediate backlash and complete and utter dissection of the OC as if they have been here for a long time with plenty of greens >Critics overtakes positive, community rules the OC is garbage >Never seen again It happened to Lucy and it seems to be happening to Grunts. Why is it like this now? I swear we weren't always like this from what I remember. Even veteranb OC lore greens are getting torn apart.
>>97101 >Happened to Lucy Wrong. Lucy recieved tons of positive support, however the issue was that her character was stuck being seasonal so not alot of things could be done with her >Happening to Grunts Literally only one guy who samefags hates them so far because of "le fat fetish". I've only seen Grunts get positive or horny comments, however not much has been done with them
>>97101 I don't remember that, just a couple dudes start complaining about the OC and that's it. No obliviousness or anything, Lucy became the celebratory OC and grunt just showed up.
>>97101 >some anons bring up that Lucy would be better with a few tweaks while she’s still malleable >most anons agree wholeheartedly >Lucy becomes a welcome addition to the threadlore
>grunt drones are invented >people generally enjoy them and accept them >1 (one) guy starts having a prolonged melty about them
>>97101 >It happened to Lucy Did it though? She's just holiday centric, and there isn't a holiday for another week or so. She doesn't have to be in every single thread to not be dead and gone >Grunts Again, that's one fathead who can't stop spinning in circles wailing. Don't give him any more attention than you have to >veteran OCs If you're referring to the bulk of them, this just isn't true. There are plenty of OCs that no one is picking on. If you're referring to Jane and B, that's a fair assertion but the responses to them are always mixed because 1) they're humans, which is a strike against them for most Anons, 2) they're based in the Solver Wars which is tenuously canon (which amps up the "passion" that discourse around them has), & 3), they're just soet of odd in the context of /md/ (the best explanation ive seen for why it might feel that way is because they're loosely based on signalis?? Haven't played and don't intend to so I can't tell)
TLDR - everything's fine, stop giving spergs attention, post drones and greens, thanks
>>97101 Some of this is new behavior some of it is old. There were wannabe art critics and lore snobs from the beginning. I think now that the show is over there are some contentslop crackheads with toasted dopamine receptors who are just desperate for new stimulation and also unsatisfied with anything that doesn't cater to their idiosyncratic desires. They feel like contentfags owe them something and are bitter when contentfags (who do it for free) are not either bashing out slop to keep them stimulated 24/7, or not delivering some professional grade project every couple of days. I think there are also some people with generalized fandom brainrot, probably tourists illegally immigrating from the last fandom they trashed, the kind of twitter/tumblr """people""" who care more about the interpersonal drama and tropes surrounding fandom than they do the actual thing the fandom is about.
You can always tell who all these people are because they never contribute anything to any discussion but negatives, they're either there to slag someone else's hard work off, beg for free work and then complain about it later, or to stir drama.
>>97057 Avre's author here: Can confirm, avre would have been more or less the same as a DD if i didn't know about sentinels or the whole "not jcj product" thing.
However, i do feel like she would have been a worse charicter overall if i did write her as that. Theres so many little tidbits of information that wouldn't be in the dd version of her that is what makes the sd of her much more compelling in my (highly biased) eyes
Also fun avre fact while im here: >Avre would love grunt drones if she ever encountered some.
>>97101 I think people have gradually become more bitter without more MD to look forward to. The thread has always been pretty bitter especially towards the end, but there’s bound to be more resentment this day. There’s some obvious positivity as well but most people I assume are neutral to very bitter about OCs, and they lash out at anything new coming out. Lucy is a weird example because she was pretty popular and well liked, but people also acted like she HAD to be a 24/7 main stay with lots of content and depth when from what I can tell her purpose was to be a Halloween goof, eventually a spooky holiday goof.
>>97120 >The Drama I'm sorry, but this post makes me laugh. There's nothing happening, yet in my mind I see this Anon solemnly looking at his window like a grieving widow despite it being an incredibly nice day
>>97112 i don't like the grunt drones either, i think they look out of place and pulling the samefag card if someone doesn't agree with your opinion is just dumb main site has enough of those people
>>97121 >Anon aboard boardship /md/ in the Chan Nebula, solemnly staring out the ship window into space while everyone else cleans up the confetti & balloons from the Jane X Bonnie party they threw just a few hours ago
>>97116 grunts would look up to Avre as a big-sister-in-arms and be thoroughly impressed by her advanced hardware. they'd then cheerily ask to share war stories without realizing that's probably not a good idea and end up deeply ashamed of themselves if they upset her
>>97133 >It's the one timeline Anon cannot access >He hammers his fists against the boundaries but can never enter >He knows why - because if he did, he would destroy it all
>Even veteranb OC lore greens are getting torn apart. Some veteran ocs have aways been torn apart because they are legit unwashed ass. You're seeing bitterness because the friction accumulates.
>>97136 Fun Grunt Drone Fact >because GDs run a bit hot, grunts operating in colder regions can come in handy for warming human troops via physical contact >a grunt running on fuel– and thereby running hotter– can even heat a small space such as a tent
First step in the creation of the new TC chapter has been done. Now I just need to color the thing, finish the reference sheet and then write the actual story. As usual, posting the silhouette as the teaser for what's to come soon™
>>97148 >"Sex and then more sex, with a hint of sexy sex and a bit of sex at the end as a treat" >t. Anon, who hasn't had sex with even 1 woman, let alone 2
>>97150 >Yes, you too can now own the Boatswain Burner, the official flamethrower of choice for disreputable scoundrels everywhere! >Use it grill hotdogs! >Defrost your car windshield! >Kill giant bugs that want to suck all your innards out! >Toast DDs that are a little to hungry! >Yes, there's never been a better time than now to buy a Boatswain Burner (available for four easy payments of 49.99, plus shipping and handling)

>>96743 >“So is your fanbase also sexually obsessed with the child-sized and shaped non-human characters?”
I also had an idea for the Maria and Tessa interaction people have been posting about the last few months and since I already had the Maria and Shadow models for something else so making this was pretty easy to make.
