#Murder Drones Ep 5

[christeli4]

After watching ep 7 and the plot twist with "Cynessa", I realize that Tessa died after The incident with Sin in episode 6.🕊️

Rest in peace my dear...

I made this several months ago, I didn't think I'd predict the future.

Prompt lists under the cut!

Tessa of My Abyss Au, what a life she has experienced here, but what a life it is.

[lilywily143]

"I only care for one person" but not really...

Is anyone else aware of this trope? The idea of someone who will only care for a single person, hurting anyone else so that special person is safe?

Welllllll, J anyone?

I think this newest episode really shows a new side to J. One with care.

The person I'm talking about that she really seems to care for is Tessa.

The moment J shows up, she is helping Tessa with her light panic about the gala and does what she asked to help her.

When Tessa shows to be in pain, J is clearly worried and saddened.

Heck, even in the teasers for the episode, we can see J looking at Tessa nervously. [She isn't looking up high enough to see the parents, but it's high enough at Tessa]

She stops Solver V from slashing Tessa's face

When Tessa is chained up, she is a bit hesitant to break her out. But she is 1. Chained up as well and maybe didn't have an idea yet to get out. Honestly, she was probably feeling really down about the corporate saying she'd be thrown out a scene before.

And 2. When a huge danger comes along, she 's instantly - in the next scene - getting Tessa out. Which actually seems to have hurt J in the process of doing that. Or at least, definitely exhausted her.

And they both help each other to try and fight the threat, and also give each other their preferred weapons.

But, this old version of J does seem to care for more people than just Tessa. This evidence is with N and Cyn.

J does mean stuff to N, but he does seem to be Tessa's fav. So she tries to not do stuff like that around Tessa.

Even then, she does save him as well. She made a 'threat' to have him off himself, yet she saves him from V.

Also while N is optimistic, he does still get fear from getting hurt. Yet he doesn't take her threats seriously. If anything, he was happy with her artwork with the death note.

And with Cyn, she does antaganise her by keeping her in the basement.

But not only does Tessa not seem to like Cyn a lot [whether geniunely or to get her parents off her back], so that would affect how J thinks of her.

But she is still scared when Cyn starts going against the corporate.

She is actually still nervous while N tries to cover for Cyn. She only changes to a dissapointed expression when N makes a kinda dum insult.

She also makes the same face, even with Tessa, when he isn't aware of what Cyn did around them.

A lot of her words and threats are empty.

Something did seem to change thou when her became a DD. She actually nearly got N killed. And I'd love to learn what got her to that point.

Little thing I didn't know where to put it, But she seems to have an intense fear of the corporate. [she's the only one with the empty, circle fear eyes]

She's an impressive rule-follower.

[funnelcakesandinfinitesuffering]

Ok, I just realized Doll’s eyepatch is to cover up her Solver eye so she’s not constantly breaking glass everywhere she goes.

this cute drone from ep 5:3 I rlly wanna know her name ngl

[lemonadepinksstuff]

 3 days until peak!!! So have our girl Tessa from Murder Drones!

[izzylumalee]

This is Humorous.

[arobotjester]

"How did Cyn build all those disassemby drones?"

"Did she have a factory for them?"

I see your questions and I raise you:

she woke up all the dead drones. she/solver stopped their wdOS_606 (ERROR: 606) process.

The ending of season 1 is a pretty common topic right now. Of course, many theories have been said so here I am adding my own jumbled mess of thoughts and probably repeating what other, smarter, people have already said.

Spoilers, duh

The main question I actually kinda wanna take a dive into is why destroy earth?

A parasite on a usual timeline, tries to take over its host and use the host to produce more parasites to infect others. Ok, that's fine. But if absolute solver is like a parasite- which is what it seems to be almost like- why destroy earth? Yes, we saw what it did to the Elliot mansion. That must have been only just the beginning and a small taste of what it's capable.

So by the parasitic definition, it should try to find more hosts and more zombie drones to expand its reign. But does that really require to make earth into what N saw?

The first time I saw this theory it was pitched by LoreDrone on youtube- they do amazing theories and explanations. Go take a look, they explain it much better than I can. But basically they said that perhaps the true form of the absolute solver isn't this:

Or this:

And definetly not this:

But instead is a black hole AKA this:

That once the parasitic like nature finally takes complete control of the planet, it will do this and create a black hole.

The insane amount of times absolute solver has referred (or others have) to black holes is crazy. The most direct being: "The Solver of the Absolute Fabric. The void. The exponential end."

Sound familiar? Yeah, sounds like a black hole. It would actually explain some random things that we see throughout the show.

Like the two black holes that slowly float away after Uzi and N defeat eldrich J.

And not to mention all of the black holes that are seen in drawings both from Nori and others in eps 4 and 6.

There is an issue here though. The small creatures that we see for eldrich J, the corrupted core plus the small head that was projecting Khan's dead body only have a small impact and therefore produce little black holes. Uzi was able to create- although accidently- black holes throughout Dead End. All of which could not take full form as the first time, she passes out and thus the black hole form disintegrates. And the second time was when N chopped off her arm.

This all means that the absolute solver needs more solver drones like Cyn to create a large enough black hole to take its final form.

Here's the kicker though.

Why send disassembly drones to the planet then? We get a direct quote from Liam himself saying that spoilers! The humans didn't make the disassembly drones- which pretty much leaves Cyn to be the one that made them, and that's pretty true seeing as she was already making prototypes in the library basement in ep 5.

Copper 9 and many other planets (when Tessa explained) were studying absolute solver and trying to use its powers. "But all they did was spread it." Sounds like a perfect plan for the absolute solver, right? Spread the parasites and its hive mind/cloud based nature to overtake galaxies! So then... why send disassembly drones to Copper 9? The main hub where two very powerful solver drones, by the looks of it, that have huge potential! Nori and Yeva.

And both killed by disassembly drones. Sounds counterproductive, doesn't it?

"J, relay hand. Cyn's orders."

"Step 1: Clear drop zone of life and construct spires. Step 2..."

"Enter labs with this symbol."

Ladies and gentlemen, here we are. Idk if it's a commonly accepted theory or take, but I'm on this boat and I will proudly burn down with it.

Cyn is on our side.

Tessa (although she's very sketch) and J are trying to figure out why Cyn sent disassembly drones to other exo-planets. It is also Cyn's administration that's blocking absolute solver from completely corrupting our trio. It was also Cyn that ordered the eradication of all worker drones. We see that many of these worker drones are... by all technicality and for the most part aside from some odd balls- are correctly disposed of. Their bodies are ripped apart, devoured of their oil and cannot reboot as a zombie drone.

If Cyn was completely corrupted by absolute solver, she'd send the disassembly drones to perhaps kill the worker drones to increase the rate of zombie drones to wake up with the absolute solver string in them- just like seen with Cyn. But no. The entire spire is constructed of corpses in pieces.

Now as for my take on the ending (and let me tell you, I bet you I'm 100% wrong and this will probably not happen) I think our trio will beat whatever the f*ck is in Cabin Fever labs and team up with Cyn to then go to other planets and save them from absolute solver. A rather optimistic uptake, I know. But I'm also for a lot of the more bittersweet and not so happy ending theories that are out there.

I saw it from @villainsrule2018 for the first time. That this image may be Copper 9 by the end of the season. I absolutely love the idea that we might lose Copper 9 but perhaps save other planets. But I have another take on this. This is earth. We've lost earth already, and off to the side we have Copper 9's moons, implying Copper 9 is its next target.

As per usual, there's plenty of holes and inconsistencies in my theories and ramblings. Feel free to expand or go against this, I love hearing other theories on how season 1 will end. ^_^

Alright, so, the survey is finally up, and judging by the results and considering where most of my audience members come from, I assume you want more of the crazy cannibalistic russian content, which, credit where credit is due, I kind of inevitably called upon myself.

While it's going to take a while before I can put out that analysis in particular, I wanted to use this moment to talk about something that I've somewhat alluded to in the past, but I never actually realised in words:

This scene.

Is the most interesting scene in Murder Drones.

I'm actually unsure whether or not it's just my (un) conditional love for Doll that makes me rank this particular scene so highly in the grand scheme of things, but after some time of revaluation, I can confidently say that this is my favourite scene in Murder Drones, and it's exactly because, at face value, it's completely whortless.

If you still haven't realised the frames in question, it's the scene from Episode 5 where Doll thanks Khan for raising Uzi as a good daughter right after she stole the Cabin Fever key bug from our trio.

I love this scene.

While I have analysed it already when making my argument of Doll actually trying to form connections (in her non - neurotypical way), here I just want to tell you what stands out to me about this scene.

Murder Drones main problem, as of right now, is his insane and unsustainable pacing that puts the story above everything else; the character interactions, as a result, often happen in conjunction with the plot, as a way to enhance it, or as a result of it. And said character interactions are also locked up in extremely strict and rigid roles:

Doll is Uzi's foil and vice versa.

Uzi x N is Doll x V counter ship and vice versa.

Thad is to Uzi and N what Lizzie is to Doll and V.

Nori and Yeva are the foil relationship of Uzi and Doll.

Khan and Doll's dad are... well at least theoretically.

So, whenever there's an interaction on screen, it tends to fall into one of these preestablished roles in the relationship chart.

But here instead, we get an interaction between Doll and Khan, two characters that have almost no reason to talk to each other, not just now but generally ever, having a useless 10 second long interaction, and the reason why this interaction grabs me so much is because this is exactly what the show needed up to this point.

Less of the rushed end of the world plot and more of "traumatized serial killers trying and failing to find a place in the society they've harmed. Also teenage drama". It doesn't matter how good you think your story is, if it doesn't have the proper time to develop, then it's only a mere skeleton of the actual story you wanted to tell.

There are various interpretations that can be gathered from this scene, many already formulated by other members, one of which is the possibility of Liam Vickers not being the one who wrote it (my theory), but for now, I just really wanted to appreciate this as a standalone moment for its simplicity.

Want more?

Okay, but...

WHY is NOBODY talking about how cute past Tessa was??? I love her hair and her bow and overall her animation was so fluid and somehow blended in perfectly with the rest of the show. Her relationship with N and J was SOOOO cute like what? EPISODE 5 IS SO UNDERRATED YOU CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND.

ALSO does anybody know how old they were in this episode??

N seems visibly younger and honestly so does everybody else.

Or maybe I'm crazy? or maybe it's obvious and I'm just missing something. I usually miss a lot of stuff in these shows lol.

murder drones ep 5 but awesome
