You read the title, ROLL THE ANIMAL PLANET MUSIC-
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, dut 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 or 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. Her visor never went yellow. The solver virus allowed her 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 being 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 her 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 png. 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. 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.
man, these Doorman women have STRONG robo-genes!
thought it'd be fun if I drew nori uzi and carbine all together
circle circle dot dot :)
(reposting stuff from my DA)
since some ppl wanted the rest of it, ill be periodically posting the pages in quantities of 2.
for the person who said "GOOD LORD THEYRE NAKED" (and the many others who may have had the same thought) uhh!!! there is a point to this!
originally they were just supposed to be color coded without any other features (no hair, no missing eye, etc.) but i decided not to do that. the style of this comic is heavily inspired / based on the comic "Welcome Back" from the au its for made by Sachewithcoffe on twitter.
i also just didnt wanna draw N in a suit over and over again I'm lazy as hell
i also do not have a name for this comic so. uhh. suggestions?
First | Next
if people want the full comic here i’ll post it. posting this to test how many ppl want it
Murder Drones swapped au by @Sachewithcoffe on Twitter
Concept is that N gets swapped with Cyn, V with J, etc etc.
Uzi is (mostly) the same.
Start Here > Next > Last
(I’ll update this if ppl do end up wanting the rest of it here.)
