Event: The Drone part 002 Characters: Evelyn & Zaid @zaidshair Location: Near the medcenter

This place was one disaster after another! If the relentless attacks from those insane robotic hornets weren't enough, now there were these creepy creatures digging everywhere. It was chaos: people scattering, fighting to survive. The whole scene felt too close to some twisted sci-fi movie, and Evelyn could hardly believe it. But ridiculous or not, her instincts kicked in. Agent training didn’t just disappear, and she moved into fight mode without a second thought, scanning for threats and bracing herself for whatever came next.

Evelyn was determined to find anyone or anything that could lead her to this Beema. It might sound crazy, but she couldn’t stand by and let an innocent person suffer or perish. They might not share any connection, but she had made her own choices now. As she scanned the surroundings, her gaze landed on someone who looked utterly worn out. “Has anyone found a way into the forest to get to Beema or at least a plan?”

"I don't know, somewhere with some space, I don't know if staying here in the bungalow would be a good idea." The pack of them could remain swarming around them. Again, they would be sitting ducks and that wasn't going to accomplish anything. "What if these things know we are in here, and what if they're advanced to destroy this place?" Elliot didn't know.

As soon as he heard people screaming, elliot wasn't the type to sit and listen to that. It made him cringe, made him want to do something---anything that could help. He looked over at Zaid, how a moment could change, mood as well. To one of peace and calm to chaos in a matter of seconds. Zaid didn't seem the type to sit back either. Elliot's gaze remained on the other, communicating without words that they should do something.

As the door opened once again, elliot could still hear the noises coming from the hornets. Followed by the fact that Zaid almost got attacked, he had pulled Zaid back when the hornet flew passed them. An initial reaction, or instinct, but Elliot was also looking out. "They're wh--" he heard the other person mention attacking the hub. "Well, I wouldn't let you go alone," he stated as if it was the obvious answer. At the mention of his pebble power, Elliot wasn't confident about that. "I don't know---I don't know how it's activated, I can't control it on a whim. I could try--- " he also didn't want to disappoint either. "even if your power isn't pleasant as you said earlier, can it help too?"

"And go where?" Zaid responded, deciding to just...shut the door and look away. He wished the windows had blinds or curtains to pull. "The bloody things are flying about all over the - the beach and the other bungalows...." Where could possibly be safe? It didn't sound like the robo-hornets had noticed them...so far.

But riding it out didn't seem right either. Outside it wasn't just buzzing and clacking from the strange robotic things but also the sound of people yelling and shouting. People out there doing something, getting answers. And here was Zaid, huddled in a bungalow technically not even his, with a strange bloke he just met. If they survived, what would Elliot tell others, of this moment?

Zaid grimaced at Elliot, then opened the door again, actually stepping out onto the porch to get a better look around. "They...don't seem to be attacking us. Whoa - " Zaid staggered back, as a hornet flew right by at eye's height. Someone followed, and shouted to Zaid: "Hurry, they're attacking the Hub!"

The Hub, with the industrial fridges and outdoor kitchen. Zaid couldn't let it fall to ruin. He looked at Elliot. "I'm going to the Hub, and you should come too, mate. What if you...could you throw pebbles at the hornet-things? If - if they get too close?"

BREAKING: Trump’s Explosive Quote About Secret Drone Garages Sets Off National Alarm Bells – Everyone Downloading NUKE Apps!

BREAKING: Mysterious drones scanning U.S. skies for radiation as nuclear material goes missing. Trump declares, ‘The drones are OURS.’ Amidst rising radiation levels and a $300M spend on anti-radiation meds, the government remains silent. What's hidden behind this eerie silence?

In America’s skies, something unsettling is unfolding. Thousands of drones, advanced and stealthy, are monitoring from above, hinting at a massive yet undisclosed U.S. operation. Why the secrecy if these drones are ours, as Trump confirms? What lurks behind the government’s stonewall?

The Mystery Drones That Are Freaking Everyone Out Advanced, silent drones are now a common sight, raising alarms. With over 5,000 sightings reported, regions like New York City and New Jersey are under intense aerial scrutiny without clear reasons.

A drone pilot in New Jersey shared a disturbing encounter, "It’s like it sucked the power right out of my drone." These are not ordinary drones; they’re part of something much bigger and unsettling.

Radiation Spikes, Missing Nukes, and $300 Million in Anti-Radiation Pills Radiation is spiking where drone activity is highest. Concurrently, radioactive materials have vanished from New Jersey, paired with a hefty government expenditure on anti-radiation meds. The dots connect to form a sinister picture.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been tight-lipped about these missing materials. How do you just 'lose' nuclear material? This isn’t a simple oversight; it’s a dire emergency.

Trump Blows the Lid Off the Cover-Up Trump’s recent admission reveals these advanced machines are U.S. drones. "They’re ours, folks. Very advanced. Very effective," he claimed. This revelation only deepens the mystery and the anxiety it breeds.

The Government’s Lie: “Nothing to See Here” As the government dismisses rising concerns with feeble reassurances, the American public remains skeptical. The pieces of the puzzle are troubling:

Over 5,000 drone sightings.

Missing radioactive material.

$300 million spent on anti-radiation meds.

Drones and the Global Panic: Why Are Central Banks Hoarding Gold? In response to these mysterious events, global banks are amassing gold, bracing for economic upheaval that might follow a catastrophic event. Are these drones part of a global operation to thwart a nuclear threat, or is there an even graver danger at play?

Alien Tech? Advanced Surveillance? What’s the REAL Purpose of These Drones? Theories abound. Some suggest these drones are using advanced tech to map gamma radiation, possibly to detect WMDs. Others propose a more outlandish theory — alien technology. Or, are they prepping for a catastrophe they foresee but aren’t disclosing?

Drones Disrupting Airports – Are They Testing Us? Drones have caused chaos at airports, a serious hint that these activities could be tests of broader capabilities. What can they disrupt next if they can stall airports?

Enough Is Enough: The American People Deserve Answers With Trump’s bold statements, the call for transparency grows louder. The stakes are immense, and the public's patience thins.

Conclusion: Eyes on the Skies – We Won’t Be Fooled Trump’s remarks have slightly opened the curtain to the ongoing saga in our skies. We’re vigilant, concerned, and demand the truth about these drones and the shadows they cast over our security and sovereignty.

This "Anonymous Post" in 2022 should kinda put things into a better perspective for everyone. But You Decide 🤔

"Do you know where we are going next?" I asked ART.

Y'know what, I think maybe I don't need any more Murderbot books. I think maybe ending things here is fucking perfect and as much as I love Wells's writing I'm genuinely not sure it can get better for me.

Like, so much of the books are about MB learning how to be a person, about becoming okay with being a complete individual with everything it entails. The first thing it does once it's actually allowed to decide on its own is it runs away from it all (admittedly to go on a mission to confirm some things about its past, because it genuinely just wants to be *good*). It shoves all its emotions away as much as it's able to. Then shit happens, and it makes its first friends, makes decisions based on these friendships, goes through a lot of emotionally intense situations...

And we get to this point here. MB having zero doubts about going with ART says a lot about its relationship with ART, but it also says a lot about its relationship with its humans - it knows that wherever it goes, when it comes back, the humans will still be there. Its humans actively acknowledge its struggles with being a now-free SecUnit and MB is willing to entertain the discussions to an extent and share information about its deeply personal experiences. Hell, System Collapse ends with MB admitting it might be somewhat broken, but that's okay as long as it can keep doing its job, and agreeing to basically do counselling - this is the guy what would rewatch its favourite TV show again and again in order to avoid acknowledging it even had Emotions a couple books back.

Reading this, I know that MB will be okay. It has hopes and goals and genuinely believes in itself and it has an amazing support system that its willing to lean on for the first time in its life. I'm convinced it'll go on to do great things with ART. And that's really the only thing I need to know.

Fiction concepts that hit different to the point where literally everything I’ve been obsessed with had at least one and no that isn’t even an exaggeration:

What if there was a fucked up seaside town

What if there was an extremely fancy restaurant/hotel/club but oh wait it’s fucked up actually

What if there was a prestigious school but wait, you guessed it, it’s kinda fucked up

What if there was a theme park/carnival/circus but HOLY SHIT WHAT WAS THAT THAT WAS FUCKED UP

What if you went to a party and something *really* fucked up happened

What if you died and went to the afterlife and instead of it being a fair system of judgement it’s corrupt and fucked up

What if there was a place and it seemed enticing but now you can’t leave and philosophical questions are being raised about the balance between pleasure and living a meaningful life

What if there was a horrifically uncanny dream sequence that gives you chills and you have literally no idea why

What if you were plagued and haunted by the presence of a strange other world accessible from your home

What if the boundaries between reality and fiction were dangerously blurred

Princess Salma bint Abdullah of Jordan shot down 6 drones last night. The Ayatollahs will not have been happy that they were defeated by a woman.

Solver/Cyn note.

Cyn gave the DDs new bodys to better take out the competition (other solver users). But why didn’t she try to take other hosts? She tried with Nori, but that didn’t really go well. The humans were the ones to give her access. She had the humans taken care of with ease buuut one issue. Yeva. She knew what was happening based on her own experiences. She knew that this wasn’t Nori’s solver but something else.

How? The color of the visor. Nori’s regular solver is purple. Cyn’s bright yellow stood out too much in the now diversified visor colors. Making it harder to blend in even if she had better access. As we know, Cyn is a shitty actor. Any differences to the visual appearance would not help any especially now that she knows there are other users.

“Didn’t Cyn take over in episode 4 with Uzi?” No. Cyn was observing. Uzi’s visor never went yellow. The solver virus allowed Cyn limited access. Even as the administrator while she was still so far away.

I like to think of the solver as an executable that behaves differently in different systems. That episode was started by Uzi’s jealousy over not fitting in after N and V were so easily accepted even after killing so many drones. Even one right in front of them in that episode. A second later on. That caused her to overheat. It swapped to fear as the solver started going haywire. The more fear it was fed, the less control Uzi had over her solver.

HER solver being the key. Every user has their own. Even if it goes haywire, it’s still part of their program. Not someone else’s control. We only see different after Cyn comes to the copper 9 as Tessa. The nulls start to show up in dead end when Uzi tries to use her solver and you get a moment where Cyn briefly does get control before she passes out on the table. Getting her yellow visor and all. Cyn is only able to do that because she’s in the area.

Best example I got is a Bluetooth connection. Closer you are, stronger the signal. Further, the more chance you have of losing that connection. If you have headphones or speakers with that function, you can understand the frustration of going to another room only to realize that your headphones disconnected and you left your device in the other room.

In the elevator, you see Uzi struggling to fight Cyn’s control. Cyn was trying to convince N how dangerous Uzi was, putting them in more danger and stressing Uzi out even more to make her lose control again. In mass destruction, at the chapel, you see Cyn, after realizing N can’t be swayed to take Uzi out, toy with Uzi. Resting the sword on her core. Adding more stress as now, she wants Uzi as a host. Still acting as Tessa to keep the act up. She needed Uzi to give into her fear and stress to give her an opportunity to take over as she was overheating.

When N gets Nori riled up, Uzi learns she CAN fight back and resist the ping. That it is possible to remain in control and that allows her to be a little more confident an calmer. Cyn needed Uzi stressed because her pings are not as effective when drones are in their right mind. When in the hallway, hiding from Cyn, both her and N have responses to the ping. For N, he starts having the effects of a panic attack (and possibly ptsd flashbacks?) while you still see flashes of yellow in Uzi’s visor. Uzi seeing N needs her allows her to focus on helping him and both of them can stay calmer.

After Uzi shows up to save V and N is the best example. Uzi’s confidence has skyrocketed. So much that when Cyn tries to ping her again, she’s able to reverse it. Cyns the one that’s stressed now. Frustrated by V going against her, N’s core being knocked out of her hands by a worker drone, and now Uzi showing up after she tried to get rid of her.

My point being, Cyn is the admin of the DDs. But it’s the solver that provides the potential. Cyn failed because she relied on the ping too much. Wanting to use other drones like toys how she saw Tessa as doing. When that failed, she did still have a lot to use and still be a major threat, even manipulating Uzis feelings towards N against her when she was hit with the pickax. It was her once again reusing one trick over and over that took her out.

She once again is a shitty actor. She really didn’t have to act much on earth. She mainly relied on brute force and her pings. The humans posed no threat to her or her drones. Unfortunately, even tho the improve she did as Eldritch J did help her projections be a lot more convincing, the tell comes in during the swap/start of them. The glitches.

Uzis learned to look for them and predict her movements. Allowing her to directly snatch her core and end up eating it. Cyn did get part of what she wanted though. She got to stay close to N as part of Uzi. Still they are separate. Uzi is now admin and now has access to Cyn’s solver and possibly others based on how many Cyn has eaten. Just makes me want so much more.

Elliot smiled as he listened to Ash speak, it was nice to hear her go along with the jokes. He sometimes found that it helped break the ice, and it seemed she was also a pokemon fan. "I've only met all of you at the meeting, I haven't seen you guys before." so elliot would make the effort to find Alex and apologize. He didn't mean to hurt anyone, especially if he didn't know how to control that.

They were the biggest creature he's seen thus far. Like he had seen sci-fi movies in the past of bugs. The reality of this really left him speechless. Ash was casual about it, he wasn't sure if she had seen them before. He appreciated the assistance in moving him out of the way of the hornet or whatever it was. "Talk about a bug nightmare."

She mentioned being stung by one of those things. "No, thank God I haven't." He then paused. "Have you?" He then turned toward Ash. "You saw a recording?" It all seemed strange. Why the heck were these things attacking everyone? "Alone?" his voice went a little high pitch there at the end. Considering it was just the two of them, he didn't get a hang of his own power, what could they possibly do? "what is your power, I don't know how I can be of help, but I don't want you to go in there alone." at her question, he tried to think of anyone else. "I don't know."

"Yeah, Ash Ketchum, that's me," Ash said with an easy shrug. "One of my favourite halloween outfits," she commented, because she could turn up to a party with a baseball cap, fingerless gloves, jeans and a button-up and call it a day. That, and she'd always had a lot of fun making out with the Mistys and Brocks that she ran into. And a Pikachu, that one time.

Ash shook herself out of that reverie. "You don't know Alex?" she said, because Eliot seemed right in Alex's key demographic audience. "He's got no bite to him, but I'm sure he'd appreciate the apology." She appreciated it too, for what it was worth.

Another of the murder-robo-hornets whizzed past their heads, and Eliot, bless him, was rightfully freaking out about them. Ash flinched as the hornet swooped in close, pulling Eliot to the side to get out of its flightpath. "Those things give me the creeps. They're all flying to the medcentre now," she said, watching because sure enough, that one was beelining it for the larger building.

Ash licked her lips, adjusting the straps of her backpack. "Did you get stung by those things?" she asked, assuming for a moment that Eliot was a lot less fuck-around-find-out than her. "I saw… I saw a recording, a flashback of them attacking someone in there, that group of people who went off into the jungle?" Ash hadn't known them well, they'd already formed a solid clique by the time she had arrived on the island, and it would have been weird if she had tagged along. And hey, she hadn't died a gruesome death in the forest, so maybe it had been for the best… "I think one of them is still alive in there. I'm thinking of going in after them." But she was really trying to follow her own rule. Don't fuck around doing stupid shit alone. "Don't sweat it if you don't want to join… Do you know of anyone else who's going to go?"

You know what…

Celebrities are followed by the Paparazzi

and Bruce Wayne is a celebrity.

so… in a stroke of luck a paparazzi manages to take a photo of Bruce Wayne aged 50 or more with a muscular and strong body that is also covered in numerous scars…

and this was just a month after the "leak" of a photograph of Bruce Wayne where he looked like a normal body according to his age and where the use of Photoshop to "improve" the image was debated for days…

now we don't know what to think…
