#Adventures on Copper 9: Murder Drones

[dexter-the-inkling-boy]

I am curious on your log. Is it alright I learn of your most recent entry?

"Since you asked nicely. I'll gladly oblige and let fulfill your curiosity." He walks to a Nearby computer and open a video log reaching the desired entry. "I hope this is satisfying enough for you anon." The video starts with a still image of himself along with an audio recording.

"Dexter's personal exploration log. Day 169 on the exoplanet: Copper 9."

(WARNING MURDER DRONES SPOILER)

A pause occurs as the inkling gathers his thoughts for this update to his log. "I have recently found an underground facility left by humans long ago. My Curiosities led to me going inside and analyze it." He spots a door left barely open and he squeezes inside. "Upon entering I notice that it's very dark in here. I can barely see a mere 2 feet of what's in front of me. Good thing I have a portable light source on me." He stops atalking and a flashlight is heard being turned on with a click. "This chamber appears to completely empty. There must somthing further inside." He stops talking and footsteps are heard as he moves onward. "There was nothing worth noting for a few minutes. But I have found countless number of Drones all around me, Both Worker and Disassmbly. Let's see if I can figure out what happened here." He stops recording and performs an autopsy on the drones to check their damages. Once he finished he wipes the oils off his hand with a cloth he carries on him and then continues his log recording. "I have finished an autopsy on these drones and Accoring to my examinations, something bit them and clawed out their internal oil supply. Unfortunately The Core Memory Processor and storage Systems are too damaged to download anything. thus the information to what did this remains Unknown." On the turn of an eye he spots somthing nearby and points the light onto a wall. "It appears that There are claw marks on the wall nearby." He then approaches a set of the claw marks mentioned and places his right hand on them. "Based on the curve and the depth of these Claw marks on this wall. I can determine flawlessly that these belong to Velociraptors and there's multiple of then. What's strange is the damage suggesting these raptors are made of steel and The age of these marks left here date Minutes before I arrived. Whatever left these marks. They are still here and they are Hunting something, and i want no part of it. So I better turn back and leave before I regret coming here." The recording ends at this point.

TADC Episode 5 Trailer

JUNE 20TH?!?!??!

Goddamn, EVERYTHING is going on with me next week...

I guess I have to do my rewatches soon, huh?

(For those who don't know, it's been a tradition that I rewatch the previous episodes the days before the new one comes out.)

So, yeah, you're gonna see me on a Digital Circus hype train.

And watching this episode for speculation...

I GENUINELY DO NOT KNOW.

Like, I'm just flat out LOST.

But some point outs:

Caine says "And my flight to Copper 9 leaves in five minutes."

Murder Drones reference.

We have seen this Caine model before, from last episode.

This originated in the series trailer where they were calling out bootleg merch. And this was the model. An uncanny model.

You'd think that's just for a trailer joke, BUT NO,

THEY PUT SOME CONTEXT BEHIND THIS MODEL AND USED IT FOR THEIR SHOW.

This show is amazing, guys, you have no idea...

Now what the hell is happening here?

This is Pomni and Jax getting vaccumed.

I mean I can only make out these two. The trailer is piss poor quality. (ON PURPOSE)

My guess, and I'm gonna be wrong: IS THIS A CLIFFHANGER AT THE END OF THE EPISODE?

Pomni and Jax just end up in HELL together.

We all know Pomni does real well in hell.

I'm really excited for the experimental animation styles.

THIS FRAME really intrigues me.

This looks like 90s computer animation, does it not?

I mean most of the animation in this show takes inspiration from that, but still. This looks like the quality of an ACTUAL 90s game.

And Caine is holding all of them like they're puppets. HIS TOYS TO PLAY WITH.

Caine cares about their pleasure, to a crippling degree, he's just really bad at maintaining it. So to have this visual of him holding them up like lifeless toys is SUPER INTERESTING.

Caine's losing his mind, that's obvious, I think, as I said before, this episode might end with them being fed up with all this shit, cry that they hate Caine (and/or his adventures), and Caine just SNAPS.

Cause once he realizes he will never be able to please them and that they well always hate him... then he hates them too.

MASSIVE TONE SHIFT. "Silly before the storm". THIS EPISODE WILL END ON A CLIFFHANGER.

Caine and Zooble are in the void. Why?

THE VOID IS COMING BACK. WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE VOID SINCE THE PILOT.

President Pomni is trying to defuse a bomb.

I could make so many irl references and every single one of them will get me cancelled so I'm gonna just shut my mouth.

Hello new Pomni face frame to add to my collection in my photo album hehe...

(Can you tell she is one of my stans yet?)

But serious question: WHAT IS THIS LOCATION?

Again, piss quality so I can't make it out.

I don't think it's under the map cause it's more grid-like, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it is considering the episode is a meltdown.

I'm curious, Pomni has seen under the map, have the other EVER actually gotten stuck under the map before?

Don't see why they wouldn't know it exists, just saying.

I would think it's outside the tent since we've seen it, BUT we've also seen the outside of the tent is when it's day and night at the same time, and the night stars are drawn like five year old scribbles.

This looks too realistic to be outside the tent.

Oh so that's what Gooseworx meant. Bring on the angst.

I say as there is a frame of Zooble on crack, a bad miscoloring of Ragatha, whatever the hell Jax is, and Kinger as a military general.

And Orbsman?

NO GANGLE TOO. HUH...

Also rival Pomni is cursed. Her design is already perfect as is, so naturally ANY alternation is just gonna look wrong to me.

Another one for the folder hehe-

...yeah, yeah me too.

She just like me fr

"YOU STAY RIGHT HERE, WHERE I CAN KEEP MY HUNDREDS OF ALL SEEING EYES ON YOU" - CAINE, PILOT

So Caine just flat out has an office, that wasn't just for last episode. HUH...

OFFICE????

Okay so something involves seaweed.

And Gangle's mask breaks again.

I HOPE TO GOD GANGLE'S DEVELOPMENT LAST EPISODE WAS NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT. BECAUSE THAT WOULD SUCK.

Also, note that ONLY KINGER AND GANGLE COME OUT.

We see Ragatha Pomni and Jax in that blue void, so...

WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE THREE????

HOW WERE GANGLE AND KINGER THE ONLY ONES THAT GOT HOME SAFE??

If Bubble turns out to be the mastermind, nobody will shut up about that twist.

...honestly it would be a good twist.

Okay... well, time to get my hyperfixation back.

See y'all on the 16th when I start rewatching to prep.

Oil is Thicker Then Blood (Part 89)

Another Day, another adventure out to find another pod to salvage.

This one was much further away, instead of a one day journey, this would at least be a three, traveling under the cover of night and resting during the day. It was a flipped schedule for most drones, but even Thad and Lizzy had gotten used to it at this point- so the rest of the engineers could too.

Tera was swaddled up tight against her mother's chest so that she wouldn't get cold, normally she would be left in the bunker during an excursion like this, but everyone she could've been left with had joined them. V was flying ahead, scouting for any infected and clearing the way for the forklift. N was next to her, one hand a rifle and the other wrapped tightly in her own like her own personal bodyguard.

Lizzy and Thad both were on lookout, keeping their eyes peeled for any infected V might have missed, and Khan was in front, on top of the forklift directing people better than she ever would.

He'd been decently hands off so far, letting her plan and direct while he looked over her blueprints for any errors and delt with stuff internally, but now, with such long journeys and Uzi inching closer to her ‘supposed’ due date. He didn't want his daughter being overwhelmed.

Honestly? Uzi was relieved, as much as she appreciated the amount of trust her dad was putting in her now. She wasn't sure if she was ready to be leading a squad of drones by herself. She didn't want to be held responsible if something went horribly wrong…

“It's kinda weird to be traveling in a big caravan like this.” N started a conversation, probably because the tense silence was starting to put him on edge. “And on foot, it's like one of those ‘finding the promised land’ movies.”

Uzi smiled, she could always count on N to keep the moment lighthearted.

“We kinda are… what kind of planet would you want- if you could choose?” Uzi asks, squeezing his hand gently for some silent reassurance.

“Something not snowy. The temperature is nice for cooling off but I am so sick of snow…” He replied, and Uzi couldn't help but agree. “No more snow. Maybe a desert?”

“And die as soon as we land? Our systems couldn't handle that.” N laughed. “Maybe…a big ocean?”

“We're metal. And not entirely waterproof. You just enjoyed Subnautica too much.” Uzi teased and N chuckled at himself, “Hey that game is good! You're the one who showed it to me.”

Uzi thought again for a moment. “A big forest… with lots of greenery. Maybe a jungle?” She suggested. “I've never actually seen living plantlife, man that's kinda sad.” She added after a moment.

“Oh! Y-yeah I guess you haven't… “ He realized, almost kicking himself.

Whenever he thought of Uzi, he always thought that she was always there with him, even on Earth. Which wasn't actually the case of course, Uzi definitely wasn't at the manor… but he always felt she was. Maybe it was because some of his memories were of her as a crow and those were bleeding into his actual memories.

But no, she'd never been off Copper-9, and she'd only seen organic life through pictures or a screen. She'd never had the feeling of grass tickling her casing, or the petals of flowers between her fingers.

Just cold steel and ice.

“Then yeah, I hope there's lots of plants, and it's so green you'll get sick of it.” He laughs, kissing her on the forehead as he pulls her in gently. And she laughs in such a content way… it's like feeling the sun on his silicone again.

“Halt!” He hears Khan shout, and the moment is broken. He can feel the bitter wind once more, hear the howling of it overhead, and the deep shuddering groans of urban decay. The ground is a muddy slurry from all the movement … and it's cold; leeching away any heat from his feet into the ground.

With a small squeeze onto his girlfriends hand, he flies up to see what was the matter, and it becomes immediately obvious the second he can see over the forklift.

A gigantic black tendril is blocking the road, laying inert- though still breathing, V was pushing people back to avoid the snaking webbing of flesh already beginning to grow around it.

N lands next to Khan on top of the forklift, and he looks… distressed.

“I know you've shown me pictures and holograms. But this is… something else.” Khan is trembling slightly, joints clicking as they tapped together.

“This one looks new… it's not moving yet. V and I can probably burn it away so we can get past it.” He puts a hand on Khans shoulder as a way to steady the man. And he takes a deep breath.

“I'll back up the caravan. Give you some room.” Khan agreed, before sticking his hand out to motion people to back up.

“You know, it took me awhile… but I know why Uzi chose you…” Khan started, looking nervous, N lifted his brow.

“You're… stable. You're reliable. You love with every ounce of yourself. And I… she didn't have that before, unfortunately.” He stopped himself from going into self-pity, shaking off that feeling to continue;

“You have a good head on your shoulders son. I'm sorry it took so long for me to get it. Better now then never I suppose.” He laughed softly and the caravan stopped moving backwards. N smiled, his wings coming out with a flourish.

“Thank you. Mr- Ah, Khan. Thank you Khan.”

Khan smiled brightly at that.

“Now go kick some tentacle ass! Don't want you back down here until it's a burning stump!”

N laughed. “Sir yes Sir!” as he flew off, his hands being replaced with duel flamethrowers. V hovers up next to him, her arms crossed.

“What's the plan boss?” She asks, a brow raised.

“Burn it enough so that the caravan can get through… might have to burn the ground too. Can't risk people coming into contact with it.” He replied, before blinking. “D-Did you just call me boss?”

V turned away for a moment, probably to hide her fluster. Before coming up right to his visor and flicking it lightly. “Don't read too much into it, idiot.”

“Okay, Okay!” He laughed, before they both made their way down with their respective flamethrowers, aiming it down at the gross fleshy tendril.

At the same time, they unleashed a plume of hot flame. The tentacle reacted violently, thrashing wildly as a loud screech ripped through the air from… somewhere. The ground itself rumbled, as if it were alive - and writhing in pain.

After a moment, the rumbling stopped and the screech faded back into howling wind, as an extra measure, both dissasembly drones burned the ground the tentacle was sitting on until it was charred.

“Think that's good?” N asked his pseudo-sister. And she nodded, testing it herself by walking across it. “Seems good, tell Khan he can start moving again.”

He flew up and gave a thumbs up. After a moment, the group began to move forward again. He spotted Lizzy climbing onto the roof of a car to see better.

Thad doing the same closer to the back.

“You think this is actually going to work?” V asks suddenly. A distant look on her face as she watches over the group walking underneath them.

“What? Building a ship?” He cocks his head and she nods. “It's a long shot, isn't it?” He agrees, his own concern shining through for a moment. “But I think if anyone can do it it's Uzi, you know?”

“And can you imagine? A whole new life. No more murder… or corpse spires, or… weird masses of tentacles.”

V smiles, but it looks slightly pained.

“You still sound like you did at the manor. We talked about running away together if you remember.”

He was hit with it, suddenly.

She was leaning against him, in a rare moment of peace. His arms wrapped around her as she nuzzled into his shoulder. He kissed her head and she giggled; light and airy, content to be in the moment.

“If we could go anywhere, where would you want to go?” He asked, a soft blush on his face, white, like his eyelights.

“We can't… we're not human.”

“Humor me?”

She sighed, “Um… out in the country, I think. Away from people.” She replied, her glasses were perched on her face, she was so cute…

“Maybe we can one day. You and Me.” He suggested, smiling fondly down.

“Are you suggesting we run away N?” She smirked, he loved that little smirk, the little fire that was inside her burning bright for just a moment…

“Yeah… kinda, can you imagine? A whole new life… no more masters. No more cleaning wine stains off the upholstery…”

“Or doing Mrs. Elliots gross hair…” V adds, making him laugh. “Oh god! I know! Why is it so greasy?!”

He blinks, smiling.

“I'm surprised you even remember that.”

And V laughs. “Of course I do! You said Mrs. Elliot’s head was greasy!” It's a different kind of laugh now, it doesn't make him feel the same way, but it's still pleasant.

“I was agreeing with you! You said it first!” He defended, laughing along with her.

Those times were so strange to think about now… like he lived two totally different lived. His feelings for V were familial now, weirdly strengthened but anything romantic being erased to time.

“That's weird to think about now.” He admits. “I feel like you're… my sister almost.”

She snorts. “Oh same. Every time I think about the manor I cringe a little… I don't regret it obviously… but it's just weird.”

“… I remember you being so nervous the first time we kissed…” He said slowly. And she exploded in yellow blush.

“Agh! I was actually trembling. For some reason I thought kissing was biting someone's mouth.”

N genuinely cackled at that.

“Are you serious?! That… that explains so much actually. You bit my lip.”

If anything her blush grew even worse.

“Aaaand I wish you didn't remember that…”

His eyes trailed down to Lizzy, and then back up to V. A teasing smile playing on his face.

“I'm sure your practice with Liz was better.” Came tumbling out of his mouth, and his ex-girlfriend turned ‘sister’ froze up, tail kinking up as they floated there.

“You… little shit.” She said, surprised and exasperated that he said that. “You so did not just say that!”

And suddenly she was chasing him, both ripping through the air as he laughed, even though she was clearly embarrassed, she was smiling.

He decided he liked this dynamic much better.

Hi, so I've been hearing about My Immortal and was just kind of wondering what it was. All I know is that Uzi is apparently dead, and scrolling through this blog I saw stuff like N with a red X and I'm just wondering what I'm looking at and if I might be into it.

I also saw a bunch of other comics. Stuff called things like Rescue and Questioning. Are those part of My Immortal?

It can be a bit complicated but the simplest answer I can think of right now is the My Immortal AU splits into 2 main timelines HFT (Happy Family Timeline) & MCT (Main Comic Timeline) that can be found in order on my Wattpad. There is a 3rd timeline that I call the Bad End Timeline where Uzi & Lexi die, but that's not a canon thing to this AU. So we don't talk about it. I was in a mood when I drew it, that's all.

Anyways!

MCT- Uzi had given her life to save the Universe from Cyn, despite N's protest. Going through a self-damaging unstable grieving, when he meets Lexi & promises to protect her till they find the secret drone haven known as Refuge.

HFT- Uzi receives the solver patch so Cyn can't control her, then they go to Tungsten-13 to meet Lexi & stop Cyn before Tessa returns N & Uzi to Copper-9 with Lexi to start a new life in the colony. Lexi makes friends, has adventures, deals with ptsd, & falls in love, eventually taking a DD model for her own in order for her to keep her new life safe & protected.

Got the wattpad links below, & people have mentioned that it's hard to read sometimes when it seems to be clear enough for me. Granted, I use the app on my tablet to read. So maybe the reading device plays a factor. I would try fixing it but I'm not exactly sure how.

P.S- Tessa lives as a cyborg vampire after Cyn experiments on her to make her live forever as her pet. That's why she has pointy ears & robot hands made of tungsten.

[silentmagi]

Murder Drones AU where Tessa’s drones (minus J) make an extremely well thought plan to abduct Tessa, escape from Earth and go to a far away planet where they can live in peace.

It goes nearly instantaneously pear-shaped and it ends with Cyn basically showing Tessa inside a ship and launching it to a random direction before she and the others get captured by JCJenson.

As she travels around the cosmos alone, Tessa manages to get into many adventures as she gets chased by JCJenson’s brand new Recovery Drones (totally not Disassembly Drones with a different paint job) led by J sent to recover her and bring her back home.

Series: Murder Drones AU Criteria: Sometimes kidnapping is the start of something great. Tessa is pulled out of the pan and thrown into the fire. AU title (optional): "Rescue" Drones

N and V, led by Cyn, get Tessa out of the manor after she is chained up for trying to defend her. They get to the spaceport as the manor burns in the distance, with J being knocked out a short distance away to avoid her interference.

The corporate security forces closing in on them, Cyn takes Tessa to a rocket and shoves her in with an apology as she sets the course to a random planetoid. It seemed that she was forcing Tessa to leave her behind. Cue Tessa screaming at the port hole as she blasts off, watching as her friends are captured by security and hauled away.

She sets up a space suit to keep her alive with all the biological needs being met once she arrives, including some armor to protect her from possibly attacks.

Arriving on Copper 9, she has barely a chance to settle in with the local drones when ships began arriving from JCJensen IN SPAAACE!!! looking for their missing surviving board member, seems her parents gave her their shares in the company. The company decided to use her drones to find her as they were invested in her. They just had to do a little… modification. Invert the whites and blacks, and give them a red trim instead of yellow. At their lead of the four is J, determined to bring back her friend Tessa.

Tessa is ready to turn herself in to protect her newfound family, when Uzi steps out holding her rail gun, leveled not at the human, but the threat to the human.

Things turn a little strange when it is explained that since Copper 9 was recognized as a JCJensen IN SPAAACE!!! company world, and Earth being a little… destroyed… they just need to set up an office here. Handy that there was a base here before, and they can just move in after removing the Sentinels, huh? Oh, don't worry about the rest of humanity being dead, they were keeping them from rescuing Tessa, these drones were protecting her until they could find her… everything is fine.

Everything is not fine, and it's just going to get less fine until they can get the drones back to more normal

Tessa Elliot (Open Sci-Fi AU)

Fandom: Murder Drones and my open Sci-Fi AU. Age Rating: Mature to Adult. Themes: Sci-Fi. Dystopia. Post-Apocalypse. Comedy. Gore. Death. Tragedy. Extreme Abuse. Themes of Genocide, Tyrants, and Insanity. Body Horror. Horror. Eldritch Horror. Slice of life. Survival. Triggers: Blood. Gore. Death. Inhumane Experimentation. Portrayal: It is best described in her bios. But I do use canon to some degree, but far less exaggerated/go off a lot of vagueness of what could be Tessa and what could have been Cyn at the time. Tessa is more of a 'hero' in a broken galaxy, but still able to make their way in life with their friends. Running by default a caravan with them on Copper-9, the members being: Uzi, Jyn, N, V, and J. (Optionally, Nori along with Lizzy are acceptable members of the group with discussion). Otherwise something more neutral is acceptable as a space adventurer/mercenary or merchant is fine. As these things do play vaguely into the Caravan angle as well, considering they have to deal with multiple forms of problems. Summary:

-While this is post-apocalyptic? This is more 'fun' and while messed up at times? I can make a lot of blood, gore offscreen/optional and we can focus on interacting with other survivors. Dystopian cities/civilizations. And by default, I do separate from Murder Drones as a franchise unless just interacting with those characters. I do have my own setting, things I've taken or borrowed of course. -Faceclaims vary from an optional human faceclaim, to the default Spacesuit, Shadow Tessa when using powers. All three correlate to my own story for Tessa and so on.

-This does blatantly ignore the Murder Drones universe to a point, but more or less if the timeline is wanted? It has a drastic change of events of basically The Solver is 'killed/dealt with' before humanity is destroyed- causing and Cyn is never infected. What remains is the group together basically becomes Patient Zero as survivors on Earth in the past, but later in what causes mutants and odd powers to manifest over half a decade later as adults.

-Nothing overly edgy/death of main characters/people that are rping those characters. This AU isn't grimdark like one or two I have laying around.

3D Animation.

3d animation in my opinion is the means of moving an object in a 3d plane in a sequence while the movement is seamless making a 3D animation.

Murder drones

Murder drones (My favorite show ever made)is also a show on youtube that was started by a team called glitch productions. MD is set on a post-apocalyptic copper 9, an exoplanet owned by the megacorporation JCJenson in SPAAAAACE that exploded due to the planet core collapsing killing all life on the planet except the worker drones (robots used by JCJenson in SPAAAAACE) they finally got themselves a life, but their parent company (JCJenson in SPAAACE) did not like the idea of runaway robots, as a result they sent "murder drones" to take out the worker drones". the murder drones operate by ingesting the oil of worker drones to not overheat. Murder drones was made using maya with post-production being done in unreal engine.

2. The Amazing Digital Circus

The Amazing Digital Circus is also a 3d show on youtube made by Glitch productions, not much is known at the moment as there is only one episode. It was made in Maya but this is only speculation as it is not properly stated buy glitch productions, but is because of the works of Murder drones we can assume it was made with maya and a little bit of maya. after releasing the first episode it experienced a huge growth of fans after the trends in tiktok depicting this image.

3. Shrek

Shrek was a 3D Movie made back in 2001 by DreamWorks as an American animated fantasy comedy film partially based on the 1990 children's picture book of the same name by William steig. The film's success helped establish DreamWorks Animation as a competitor to Pixar in feature film computer animation.

4. The Super Mario Bros. Movie

The super Mario Bros. Movie The Super Mario Bros, Movie is a 2023 American animated adventure comedy film based on Nintendo's Mario video game franchise. Produced by Universal Pictures, Illumination, and Nintendo, and distributed by Universal Studios. In the movie Mario and Luigi who have just started their own plumbing business try to stop a flood in Brooklyn but after investigating Luigi gets sucked into the iconic green pipe followed by Mario then get warped to another world while Luigi gets dropped off at the Dark lands, and Mario in the Mushroom Kingdom where he meets toad and princess peach that trains Mario to take down Bowser the main antagonist and save Luigi.

5. UP

UP was made in 2004 by director Pete Docter. He developed the idea of a flying house on the thought of escaping from life when it becomes too irritating(which came from his difficulty with social situations growing up).

Murder Drones headcanon and theories

Lately, I became a fan of yet another one of Liam Vickers’ works, a 3D-animated web series by Glitch Productions, Murder Drones. It’s basically a web series about cute robots killing each other, and it mainly focuses our protagonists, angsty, hotheaded teen rebel Uzi and sweet, timid killing machine N, and their adventures in saving the planet Copper 9 from other Disassembly Drones sent to kill them. Also starring the show's psycho murder waifu, V.

So, I’d like to post some of my predictions for what’s going to happen in Murder Drones, as well as a couple of headcanon.

What I think the Worker Drones are...

The series stated that the Worker Drones are a line of sentient humanoid machines produced by JC Jenson, but I feel like they were built in part of a larger franchise, of which I call the Helper Drone franchise. The Helper Drones were first introduced over 60 years ago as a living home appliance, advertised as friendly robots who help do the chores, care for your children, and arrange your tasks. Throughout the years, the Helper Drone series had expanded across other workplaces through newer Helper Drone variants.

First off, there’s the Worker Drones, the robots that were built to perform endless, grueling manual labor, and as such, they are assigned to blue-collar professions such as construction, mining, manufacturing, sanitation, farming, and landscaping. There are also bigger variants of Worker Drones, Heavy-Duty Drones, that were built for extreme heavy-duty labor such as lifting 5 t. engines or maintenance in deep-sea extremities, and they also appear to be bulkier and taller than both the drones and humans (usual height being 7–8 ft.).

Next, we have Service Drones, robots that were built to provide service to customers, such as in restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations, and malls.

Then, there are Office Drones, robots that were built to perform droll, exhausting office work, like documenting and organizing files, providing customer support, and offering financial advice, so they’re basically white-collar robots. There’s also unique variants of Office Drones, Secretary Drones, that were built to serve as personal assistants for corporate executives, office managers, and government officials.

Next, there are Emergency Drones, robots that were built for emergency services, including the three primary emergency services: police services, fire services, and medical services.

Relating to the Emergency Drones, there are Medical Drones, robots that were built to perform medical practices such as physical exams, eye exams, and dental exams.

Also relating to the Emergency Drones, there are Security Drones, robots that were built to serve as security forces in various institutions  such as banks, malls, transit centers, schools, office buildings, and government buildings, and they also serve as bodyguards for very important figures like government officials and celebrities.

Then, we have Military Drones, robots that were built for military purposes, basic advanced infantry for armies, navies, marines, coast guards, air forces, and space forces.

Finally, we have the Disassembly Drones, the dangerous, oil-thirsty robots that were built to destroy runaway AI, enhanced with shapeshifting nanotechnology that allows them to change to any weapon they desire. They happen to be robot vampires, as they need oil to prevent themselves from overheating and need to stay away from the sunlight.

And about the titular Murder Drones, I feel like the term refers to either our main characters (the Murder Drone trio and the Worker Drone resistance, each of whom are eventually going to kill off a couple of enemies), or it could a new drone altogether, perhaps a hybrid between Worker Drone and Disassembly Drone. That’s where Uzi comes in.

The Worker Drones of Copper 9

There are numerous Worker Drone colonies all across Copper 9, each of them with their own cultures, including how each of them deal with Disassembly Drones. Most of the Worker Drone colonies (including Uzis colony; let’s call it the WDF Central Colony) hid underground through a large bunker system, while some of them continue to reside outside the bunkers while hiding from or fending off Disassembly Drones. These drones are regularly called Outside Workers or outsiders, and are often looked down upon by other colonies due to their “foolishness” for not choosing to hide in the bunkers. But then again, would you rather spend your entire life hiding underneath the bunkers like a coward and let these robot vampires wreak havoc onto your world?

I think that some of the Disassembly Drone squads don’t exactly follow orders to wipe out the Worker Drones of each sector, rather than enslave them instead. Now, I think that some of the squads already figured out that they couldn’t live without drinking warm, sweet oil, yet they’re programmed to destroy every Worker Drone they see, but they couldn’t disobey protocol. So to remedy this without disobeying the company, they decide to spare the entire populace of a sector, and in return, they sacrifice 10 to 20 Worker Drones every month or so, almost as if they’re farming Worker Drones now.

Now, there are a couple of Worker Drones that actually fought back against Disassembly Drones, according to J. Perhaps these drones had defied their programming and actually learned how to fight and defend themselves, and are probably equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry like rifles and cannons. I mean, surely the humans might have brought weapons here to Copper 9 in case they run into any extraterrestrial wildlife, creatures that they haven’t encountered before. But then again, was Copper 9 already devoid of life before? I mean, there seemed to be perpetual, worldwide blizzards before while the humans were there, or it could be the result of the planet’s core exploding. But, all that matters that these Worker Drones are probably armed and incredibly combative, so it’s plausible that they’ve fought Disassembly Drones before. But, had they ever killed one before?

Creation of the Disassembly Drones

I think that the Disassembly Drones are mostly recycled drones other than freshly built, battle-ready drones. When N said that he joined the Disassembly Drones in order to become useful, it makes me wonder if he used to be a regular drone before becoming a Disassembly Drone (perhaps he used to be a Secretary Drone), either that, or he was already built as a Disassembly Drone, and that he only said that he joined the squad that he’s in (with J and V). I have this feeling that these drones were actually recycled from other drones from Earth due to JC Jenson not wanting to spend billions of dollars on another useless product, not that they’ve already done that. To add another layer of incompetency on JC Jenson’s part, I think they also made Disassembly Drone prototypes years before, machines that seem more advanced and more powerful than the finished products, and were only built to hunt down rebel AI on Earth. Now, why couldn’t they finish these prototypes instead of wasting more money recycling other drones into new Disassembly Drones?

I have a theory that J, N, and V used to be regular Secretary Drones (or any other regular drone), and more or less, their demeanor remained the same. N was already friendly and happy, as he loved helping his human with whatever task they’re working on; strangely, he also received validation from his human, the one thing he currently desires as a Disassembly Drone. V was incredibly bored, having to deal with pompous, unruly executives most of the time, and the only solace she could find was from another fellow executive who also had to deal with their dipshit coworkers. And as for J, the first drone Uzi had killed, I think she was already a total bitch, also for dealing with pompous executives, but I think she adopted her bitchiness from her human. It’s just that after they were taken away and converted into Disassembly Drones, their past experiences with humans have been either wiped out or locked away into their artificial subconscious (the latter being the most likely, once again, due to JC Jenson’s incompetency).

Most of the Disassembly Drones’ names aren’t only based on the Latin alphabet, but also their former names, which happen to include the same phonetic as each alphabet; i.e. Kenneth – N. Ergo, their serial designation names were based on a phonetic of their former name, while some others’ serial designation names were based on the first letter of their former name (Ada, Beatrice, Caesar, Diesel, Eva, Efrem, Gina, Harriet, Isaac, Jane, Katie, Bella, Emma, Kenneth, Ophelia, Peter, Cueball, Archie, Marquess, Timothy, Unity, Genevieve, Winston, Xavier, Wyoming, Ezekiel).

What I think will happen in Murder Drones...

I believe that the show might last for 10 more episodes, or 20 to 30 episodes if Murder Drones gets renewed for more seasons like Meta Runner, as long as the story is well-contained. I think that the story might focus on two groups: the Murder Drone trio (I’ll explain later) and the Worker Drone resistance, so we might see two different stories shifting from one another, similar to how Internecion Cube (another web series by Liam) played out, with its story shifting from Max and IC-0n to Kirie.

The main story will focus on the Murder Drone trio (Uzi, N, and V), and yes, I included V because it seems painfully obvious that she will join our dynamic duo. It’s just that ever since the second preview of Murder Drones got released, I’ve been having this theory that V is getting bored of killing Worker Drones. I mean, could you imagine how monotonous it feels to kill Worker Drones, robots that generally couldn’t fend for themselves or fight back? I have a feeling that V wants to kill something that could fight back, so I assume that she would want to fight Disassembly Drones, robots that are incredibly dangerous and hard to kill, which provides a challenge for our little psycho murder waifu.

Back to the main story, the duo (or trio) will at first focus on scavenging some parts to repair the landing pod and escape the planet. But then, the trio will notice a new Disassembly Drone squad (the show’s first villains of the week) sent to destroy them, and then most likely replace the old Disassembly Drone squad (J, N, and V) and continue where they left off: wiping out the WDF Central Colony. After that, Uzi will realize that she has other Disassembly Drones all across the planet to wipe out, so with the help of N and V, she will begin her mission to finally free the planet of the Disassembly Drones’ reign of terror, and then repair the ship, head back to Earth, and wipe out humanity.

Let’s see how the trio’s character development will play out. Uzi will grow into a more dangerous, more efficient antihero, and would have to grow stronger and smarter as she’ll run into new enemies. Maybe she could work on her sick-as-hell railgun and give it upgrades, making sure that it doesn’t recharge for every 30 minutes from each use. And maybe, she’ll work on dealing with her teen angst after being rejected numerous times by her father, especially after he left her for dead. Plus, I’d love to see her bond with N and V more: N because it’s obvious that they’re the signature dynamic murder duo Liam has established, and V because they both have a total bloodlust (or oil-lust).

N, our adorable murder twink (I’m coining that). I have a feeling that he’s gonna get the validation he needs, particularly from Uzi, his new best friend. We would then learn more about him, not only from his times at some sort of training facility before he arrived at Copper 9, but also from his past interactions with other fellow Disassembly Drones, who probably either hate him or pity him. I kind of headcanon that N also has a sister, or a least an assigned sibling, and she also hates him, ever since she first met him. Now, V is an incredibly indifferent, super maniacal, super sadistic killer robot only interested in causing mayhem and maiming and tormenting her victims, but that doesn’t mean she’s immune from character development, like her Internecion Cube counterpart, IC-0n. Maybe she also has a softer side she hadn’t realized yet, and she sees that she can be nice whenever she wants to, which would irk her at first, and maybe we might see her actually bond with N, maybe these two could cuddle together, not that I ship them or anything.

Back to the WDF Central Colony, shitty father Khan Doorman contemplates on how he’s been treating his own metal and oil, the daughter he was supposed to take care of. So, I think he would work on his character development and build up some courage to protect the colony, actually fight back against the Disassembly Drones, and earn back his daughter’s respect; see the irony here? Perhaps he would reluctantly join a young, generic, ragtag team of teen rebels, of which basically includes Uzi’s classmates (including Thad and the two cheerleaders), and possibly (and ironically) become a father figure to them. Now, I think that their story would also revolve around some sort of a conspiracy, something that involves the colony council and the reason why the colony wasn’t able to fight back against the Disassembly Drones in the first place other than the fact that they’re super powerful and super indestructible.

Not only that we would see Khan’s needed character development, but also Thad’s character development and the cheerleaders’ character development. Not gonna lie, but these three characters seem to have a lot of potential to become bigger, more important characters later on. Maybe Thad starts to grow as more of a hero compared to Uzi growing as an antihero, and maybe he and Khan start to bond with each other as son–father figures; I sure hope Uzi doesn’t get jealous. And as for J’s remains, I think that the Worker Drone resistance might research them to learn about the Disassembly Drones’ weaknesses, including their weakness to sunlight. Maybe the cheerleaders might assimilate her remains into their bodies also. Or maybe, from what I’ve heard, J isn’t truly done for, and she might come back.

And as for Uzi, well, just because she’s the protagonist of the series, doesn’t necessarily means that she’s good person. As a matter of fact, I think she will willingly become a villain as the series goes by, you know, considering her apparent desire to destroy humanity instead of rebelling against JC Jenson like a good angsty teen rebel. There had been many theories on how Uzi developed her goal to destroy humanity, most of which involved her getting corrupted from an outside source, either from N stabbing her hand with his acid tail (her mother was also attacked by Disassembly Drones with nanite acid), using N’s saliva to cauterize her wound, or from J’s EMP blast. Now, I’ve been wondering something about the EMP blast, and instead of it being the cause of Uzi’s corruption, what if it made her corruption even worse?

I made a theory a couple of weeks ago that Uzi was already corrupted before she encountered N, as evident from her maniacal laughter while she was presenting her sick-as-hell railgun in class. It could be either a faulty code that was supposed to repress her vendetta against humans (many Worker Drones were most likely given that code already before the humans of Copper 9 got y**ted off from existence), or it was because of some virus planted by somebody else (maybe either a delusional anarchist or most definitely a vengeful ex-worker). Or maybe, it has something to do with her dead mother. There are many theories stating that her mom was actually a Disassembly Drone, and that she fell in love with Khan and defected from her squad. It could make plausible sense, considering Uzi’s talent with designing weapons and her will to fight back compared to other Worker Drones, who are normally cowardly. It’s possible that Uzi is half-Disassembly Drone herself, and that she was secretly given some Disassembly Drone features during her production, including a hidden nanite healing factor. Either that, or her mother was already a Worker Drone, and she was built with a faulty vendetta-repressing code like Uzi, thus growing a hidden grudge against humans and secretly it passing on to her daughter before her untimely death. Whichever way works, it could show us the very reason why humans fear corrupted AI.

Here’s how I think Uzi’s journey to villainy would go, starting with the first batch of Disassembly Drones she will kill. Remember what I said about the cheerleaders assimilating J’s parts into their bodies? I was thinking that Uzi would also assimilate Disassembly Drone parts into her body. First her right arm, then her legs and new acid tail, then her left arm, then the wings, and then the rest of her body, including the regenerating nanites. By the season finale, once she’s finished consuming the last Disassembly Drone, she would reemerge as the first produced Murder Drone, and possibly the most dangerous AI to ever emerge from JC Jenson’s territories. She also grows even more sociopathic and more maniacal than she was before, possessing a total lust for destruction and having zero sympathy for any potential casualties that get in her way, including the Worker Drones she’s supposed to be protecting. Not only this will conflict with her best friend, N, and her father, Khan, but also with V, of all people. Do N and V see no other choice but to do their job and disassemble her before she wreaks even more havoc? Or, do they stick by her side and join her in her reign against humanity, practically serving as her strongest subordinates? Or, will Uzi realize too late of what she’s becoming?

So, that’s all I want to share for Murder Drones. I have a couple of more ideas for the show, like predictions for future episodes or a couple of OC’s (some of which were inspired from Madness Combat), but I think I made this post long enough. I might post some MD fanart later on, starting with Uzi and her Murder Drone transformation. I just sure hope that Glitch manages to fund a full season of Murder Drones, so we can finally see the Murder Drone trio in action, and also see more of cute robots killing each other.

I've had this crack AU in mind for a Murder Drones/Scooby Doo crossover fic where the enemy actually is the company, Mystery Inc is stranded on Copper 9, which isn't toxic, just really, really cold, and the story is basically a monster of the week scenario where Mystery Inc helps Outpost 3 fend off the various different kinds of weapons and drones JCJensen sends after them. I just think it'd be funny to see how the MD cast reacts to Shaggy and Scooby's cartoon antics, doubly so because they'd be the most overpowered ones there lol

Series: Murder Drones/Scooby Doo AU Criteria: JCJensen IN SPAAACE!!! has designs on the resources inside of Outpost 3, their agents work to scare the worker drones to get to what they want. AU title (optional): The Monsters In The Masks

After dealing with Cyn, and the Solver nonsense, you would think that the Drones of Copper 9 could settled down and get back to living. Sadly, worse than cockroaches, JCJensen IN SPAAACE!!! is harder to remove from where they entrench.

J shows up in her pod and strangely wants to help the others to keep the company from destroying the outpost (and her friends).

Uzi is still running through oil rapidly and her tail seems to have an addiction to a specific type of batteries, which she will behave for. Lizzy and V tend to team up, as do Uzi/Cyn and N. J and Nori reluctantly end up in a pair.

Nori and Khan are having… couples counseling between 'attacks' by JCJensen agents. In one episode, Nori comes out of the session, and clings to Uzi for the entire adventure before processing her emotions enough to promise that she was the best daughter she could hope for.

It's really bloody cold, like the heart of Antarctica in the endless night cold, and the agents tend to not stick around after their weapon blows up/their suit is compromised/the gig is up.

They also use multiple locations around Outpost 3 to develop their antics before going after the Outpost directly.

So I have two different Murder Drones au concepts to share, both involve the DDs having a different feature which changes the way the story works

1) shape-shifters during time zones: so the story of murder drones hunting at night does still exist but everyone assumes that they just sleep during the day in a secret hideout somewhere outside the city, not to mention that the killings are a lot slower than the ones in the original. A months ago (story wise) a new student had joined Uzi’s class and he seemed nice…if not a huge pushover. After defending him, they end up becoming somewhat friends but there seems to be something weird about him. Around the time the sun is setting, he immediately has to leave and head home where he stays until dawn. There is also the fact that he seems strangely weird when he sees someone bleeding or nervous whenever Uzi says she is going to look for the creature trying to kill everyone. What she didn’t expect was to find out that the murderous drones have a different form when the sun is up. And no, the team is not together, they are split up to cover more ground and there are more cities out there than in the original. I does come by to the other’s sections to keep tabs on them every so often though and V and N are in a sort of exes relationship

2) parasites: the stories of killers are frequent on Copper-9 but there is a few things that stand out more than the killings themselves. For one, it is rumored that the killers are shapeshifters or something similar because they seem to keep changing their appearance constantly or even taking on an appearance of someone they once knew. Second would be how there are either a lot of them or only a few but no one could tell. For everyone’s safety, they stay in the bunker to stay alive from the strange killers (they drones? Human? No one really knows). Almost everyone though…Uzi is on the case to try and hunt one down along with finding new material for her weapons. While out on her little adventure she stumbles across a strange drone(?) that attacks her causing her to fire her railgun at the thing killing it… or so she thought. When she got a little closer to inspect it, a strange object comes out at her and tries to cling to her chest. They both struggle before tripping and falling down a bit where Uzi is stunned for a few minutes before waking up and realizing that the object is not there anymore. Shrugging it off, she heads back unaware of what happened to the object. The next day, her whole body just feels weird and she swears that she can’t hear someone else’s voice in her head. As the progresses, the voice (strangely masculine…and polite?) starts to actually try to talk to her asking her to let him have full control over her body.

Both of these are good story ideas, and you've given them a lot of attention. However, I wouldn't really be able to add to them. I hope to get a link if you, or someone else, decides to build off this.
