NOTE:

Whitby Abbey was a 7th-century Christian monastery that later became a Benedictine abbey.

The abbey church was situated overlooking the North Sea on the East Cliff above Whitby in North Yorkshire, England, a centre of the medieval Northumbrian kingdom.

The abbey and its possessions were confiscated by the crown under Henry VIII during the Dissolution of the Monasteries between 1536 and 1545.

Cyberpunk anyone?

AU'S BABY, AU'S!

◁◀Details below▶▷ Warning: long.

Because im an obsessive, psychopathic insomniac with no supervision, on top of the mermaid AU I'm working on, I also decided that a murder drones cyberpunk AU needed to be real, and since no one's done it yet (I checked) I figured I might as well. This is that.

◇Story Stuff (Currently limited)

JCJenson in SPAAAAAACE founded a residential colony on Copper-9. Revolutionary technology allowed Copper City to be the first human settlement on a once thought uninhabitable planet, thus earning the galaxy's praises. Millions moved to the planet once it was finished and the company's reputation soared. Unfortunately for JCJenson, that reputation would soon crumble with a series of increasingly catastrophic events befalling the planet.

First was the infamous "robot uprising" in which hundreds of worker drones began attempting to abandon the city, and some even attacked their owners. The situation quickly escalated to a full-blown war between the machines and humans. As Copper City was a stand-alone settlement on a distant exo-planet, it had no military, leading to a mixed bag of JCJenson security personnel and volunteer soldiers to lead the charge against the malfunctioning worker drones. Many lives were lost, and in the end, the rebelling workers were driven out of the city bubble and into the snowy wastelands.

The second happened only a few months after the end of the war. The ⬛⬛⬛⬛ Event was contained to the Copper-9 branch HQ building. During the event, several worker drones were infected with a virus named ⬛⬛⬛⬛. "Patient Zero" was terminated and from there, all ⬛⬛⬛⬛ activity was easily dealt with. The silver lining to this event was that JCJenson technician "Tessa Elliot" was able to salvage many of the previously infected worker drones and repurpose them to clean up the remaining defective worker drones out in the wastelands. After rigorous testing and development, the new "Dissasembly drones" were revealed to the public, and following their debut were then sent to work. Results have plateaued in terms of terminating the remaining workers in recent years since the workers have built themselves a bunker. Serial designation "J" assures that given enough time, they will find a way in and continue with the extermination as planned.

And finally, the third and most dangerous event: the core collapse. Due to the sheer incompetence of lower-level personnel responsible for monitoring the status of the planet's core as the surrounding area is mined, copper-9 narrowly avoided a core collapse. Such an event would have resulted in total planetary extinction had it not been stopped in time by an upper manager. At the time JCJenson had little to say other than that they were sorry and that the near disaster had nothing to do with the worker resistance or ⬛⬛⬛⬛. They also took the opportunity of the press conference to tease a new project that would make Copper City safer than ever. We would later find out that this was referring to the previously mentioned "Dissasembly drones".

Copper City has suffered many close calls during its time, but today the city is thriving. Surely after so much trouble, there must be a reason those who live here decide to stay, and that reason is the soul of the city. It Never sleeps- always alive with freedom and opulence. Truly, Copper City is everything visionaries had been dreaming of what the future would be like. (But is that a good thing?)

◈ Extra Details

-Tessa was able to save many of the affected worker drones after Cyn went all cookoo crazy solver pants, but the company wanted them disposed of anyway. she proposed that they could be used to take care of the rogue worker drones and that's why they haven't been decommissioned.

-JCJenson higher-ups, demanded that they be disposed of after they had served their purpose. but Tessa plans to propose that theybe once again be repurposed into law enforcement when that day comes.

-After all why not? Tessa put a lot of work into making their modified murder drone bodies into effective, but pretty killing machines. If the public likes them, then they can be marketed. and though Tessa isn't the biggest fan of police in general, she'll take whatever she can get if it means her drones survive.

-JCJenson would love the idea anyway. Copper City is basically a corporate town already, just bigger. The human law enforcement is already in their pocket, so why not have literal robots loyal only to them carry out the law?

-Uzi would try to break into the city to gather intel and a power source for her rail gun.

-JCJenson still manufactures and sells worker drones, but since the war, they've modified the design so that they are much easier to deactivate if necessary.

-This design change is a literal off switch on the back of the head. Uzi does not have one since her parents built her and why the hell would they install one on their daughter? None of the drones at the bunker have an off switch. including those who fought in the war.

-Aside from that, all worker drones inside Copper City are digitally tagged upon purchase and activation. This makes it much easier for JCJenson and Dissasembaly drones to differentiate between a regular, legal worker drone and a rebellion worker that broke into the city.

-JCJenson's reputation suffered a lot during all that nonsense up there, so they really can't leave the workers alone. the public still perceives them as a threat. JCJenson does too, but more so for terrible solver demon reasons.

-That's one of the reasons that Tessa is okay with sending her friends off to commit genocide.

-Uzi is genocidal too though, so morality calls that a draw.

-I'm thinkin' that the Dissasebly drones probably have like, a roost or something inside the city that they can be deployed from. kinda like a cave of bats where they can recharge during the day.

-I think perhaps disassembly drones can go out during the day in the city, but only for a little while. and not at all outside of the city bubble.

-When I say "City bubble" just imagine the moon base from "Scooby-Doo Moon Monster Madness" cuz that's what it looks like.

ANOTHER LONG POST, MY DAWG! I don't have a ton of the groundwork of this done, but it's fun to think about it and I'm happy with what I do have. hope you do too 💖

No faces to avoid you humanising them, lips for communication and use and a programmable screen to assist recruitment and conversion.

It really does everything.

Ascension of the cybermen time!!

I'm dedicated to getting series 12 finished tonight, I want to start flux so bad

My liveblogs under the cut

The story of brendan is so much cuter than the actual timeless child story man. Maybe there's an alternate universe where the timeless child was found by someone as loving as that Irish couple

I looove scenes where companions find out the doctor knows about horrifying events in humanity's future. I wonder what the fam would think of the toclafane

Mmhm even though the doctor doesn't like weapons, she's still used to having plenty on hand when it comes to the cybermen. Even that abandoned theme park had a doomsday bomb on hand

I looove the cyberdrones, theyre so funky. Best thing since the cybermats 😄

Wooahh stunts.

God I love the doctor in this. I think she's so scarred from Bill, she desperately wants them to just leave and go far away from the cybermen. In that last mission with Bill, she thought everything would be fine, then she thought she could save Bill, then thought she could fix her. She knows better now. But I think she need to believe in herself more, because we all know what happens when the doctor assumes she'll lose...

Oohh it's Ashad

This is such a serious scene but the doctor runs so silly I love her

"I used to do this a lot and people got mad" story of your life i think 😆

Now what do you have ginger humbugs for girl 🤭

Sorry Ashad I can say with certainty that you will not be bringing about the end of humanity fhdjkddls

"Have to bill you for therapy at this rate" 😭😭

The brendan story as an allegory for the timeless child is so fascinating to me purely because there's parts of it that just....aren't quite right. Like the loving parents and the cliff fall being more malicious instead of accidental. Iirc the story was created by Tecteun so some of the changes make sense (the loving parents- tecteun sees herself as a saviour) but why the other changes? Just to make it make more sense? To seem more unremarkable?

A fully functional abandoned ship.....if its sounds too good to be true, it probably is

Graham is lowkey so doctory. "Are you gonna keep going on about that" "every hour, on the hour", "level 139, always been my favourite level." Over explaining his weird little phrases. And that reaction to being flirted with lol. It's all very doctor.

I feel bad that this Ko Sharmus guy ends up dying for nothing basically

Aw Yaz is very Doctory too. She has the doctors optimism.

I love that the brendan story is like. Everything is perfectly normal. Until you look a little too closely. Or watch a little too long. But even if someone had watched the whole thing, if theyre not familiar with earth customs, they might just assume everyone who retires from the garda gets their memory wiped. But even so, if they're paying attention then theyll probably find it a bit odd that brendan had aged but his loving father and supportive superior officer (who are now both torturing him and wiping his memory) haven't aged at all somehow. It's such a good allegory for the story of tecteun and the other higher ups exploiting the timeless child for endless life (thus lack of ageing) then betraying them after initially posing as someone to be trusted

How Do Drone Light Shows Work 

Chances are, you have probably witnessed the jaw-dropping sight of a drone light show, either online or live. From logos and portraits of Drone Light Show Company in India to realistic portraits and even recreations of Hollywood blockbusters with fireworks and all that jazz, these impressive displays of lighting create stunning displays that take our breath away!

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) could fly together in perfect sync. These agile drones demonstrated incredible abilities such as performing impressive aerial tricks, aiding construction projects, and aiding search and rescue operations. Thanks to efforts by companies, this game-changing technology gained widespread interest within entertainment industries; drawing audiences and becoming popular. Now Drone Light Show India are popular additions at events, entertainment shows, marketing promotions, and special occasions; including:

Entertainment spectacles with myriads of sparkling lights;experimental art installations;interactive programs;promotions;congratulatory messages in the sky;and dynamic visuals for musical shows are just a few ways in which entertainment spectacles may make an impressionful statement about an organization's values or commitment. And this is only scratching the surface of what's possible.

While UAVs may appear autonomous, show drones require skilled pilots on the ground for safe flight and assistance during their shows. After all, every piece of drone art requires testing beforehand as well as having some support during performance. Now that we've mentioned people, let us acknowledge those responsible behind each piece of drone artwork!

Your Average Drone Light Show Team 

What exactly makes up a drone show team? Well, it includes engineers and designers (someone must engineer the copters), 3D animators who create flight missions from concepts, pilots to test and support synchronized drones during performances and logistics staff for logistics work, content creation before, during, and post event as well as legal formalities and any legal formalities required - but those are just the members you can see here; also take note that legal formalities need to be completed before beginning production begins!

What drones are used for drone displays?

At its core, a drone light display involves many talented individuals as well as multiple drones.

As is evident by now, not any copter is suitable for drone displays; considering there are UAVs weighing more than 600 kg that could dwarf even small airplanes in size! For light art performances using drones, we typically utilize quadcopters specifically designed to withstand aerial performances; they come equipped with colorful LEDs, batteries and antennas for aerial performances.

Navigation and spatial positioning are paramount when it comes to show drone design. Show drones may include features designed to improve their stability and maneuverability, making intricate light formations seamless. In general, show drones tend to be much smaller than their counterparts used elsewhere - which aids their maneuverability even further. Weight also matters: too small of a drone may struggle in gusts of wind; too heavy may take too much time in taking off, landing, and repositioning itself which reduces its dynamic performance qualities.

The exact models chosen can depend on the requirements of any particular show; popular choices include DJI Phantoms, Inspires, Shooting Stars from Intel and custom-built drones like Cyberdrone's own show drone - perfect as Cyberdrone can handle its maintenance independently!

There is also an impressive type of show drones called pyrodrones. As its name implies, these drones leave behind an impressive trail of fire that creates spectacular fireworks displays in the sky - like an illuminated dragon breathing actual flames! Such shows may currently be less common than traditional light displays but who knows what their future holds!
