Tessa as a Murder Drone?

Trying to think of a way to bring Tessa's character back and arrived at a possibility I think is fairly interesting. More interesting than the idea of the Solver merely storing a backup of Tessa's mind or infecting the still human Tessa with the solver.

What if the A.S converted Tessa into a fully fledged Murder Drone?

At this point in the story anything is possible through the power of the Solver, so it's far from inconceivable that CYN implanted Tessa's brain in a Murder Drone or digitally uploaded her conscious. She would likely be in the same position as N, V, and J where she has her personality but not her pre-conversion memories. Perhaps she isn't even aware she once was human.

CYN's Ep5, "You will not have to discard your pets, and I will not discard you" , line gave me an idea of a potential chain of command.

-CYN/A.S as the overall leader, having taken Tessa's human body

-MD Tessa as the commander

-J + others as squad leaders

-N, V + others as soldiers

Tessa still has her pets, and the Solver has its pet.

It's implied that CYN only arrives on a planet after it's been subjugated by the Murder Drones in Ep7. Having a local leader to direct the Murder Drone squads during the invasion without having to directly be there yourself would be a good idea.

This next part is a stretch, yet maybe that's what the Serial Designation S is foreshadowing? After all, Murder Drones are the only drones thus far with single letter designations.

Serial Designation S = Serial Designation teSSa

The drone's P/N is TSA-MMAC

TSA = TESSA

Every Murder Drone armband as of Ep7 includes P/N CYN in reference to them being from CYN. Perhaps P/N TSA is referring to SD-S being a Murder Drone made from Tessa.

Plus SD-S sounds better than SD-T

[honestlyobsessed]

Remember that theory that the Tessa we meet on Copper-9 isn't the real Tessa?

In episode 4 the document for S includes a Part Number that reads as:

TSA-MMAC

And it kind of looks like:

TESSA MIMIC

[dreamii-krybaby]

Ok but like what of instead of N being revealed that he indirectly killed Nori (which is possible), what if one of the many Disassembly Drone corpses that we found in EP6 did it? What if this Serial Designation “S” who probably has Tessa as an administrator (bc their P/N is TSA-MMAC)

My Murder Drones theory: Tessa is Serial Designation S

Hello there, I’m fangirl92838 today I have a theory for Murder Drones. I saw a few people thinking that Tessa is still alive as a drone, a few people on Tumblr thinking that Tessa is Serial Designation S and I agreed.

For example In MURDER DRONES - Episode 5: Home

Cyn/solver said to Tessa “ You will not have to discard your pets and I will not discard you.” and then Cyn/solver said to Tessa to stay away from the gala so Tessa won’t be part of the gala massacre later in the episode Tessa and J tried to stop Cyn from killing everyone in the gala but it was too late. Cyn/solver said to Tessa “ You didn’t have to see this.” Saying that Tessa shouldn’t be there. It means that Cyn somehow copied Tessa’s consciousness to a drone body some point after the gala  massacre.

Another example in MURDER DRONES - Episode 4: Cabin Fever

( Using the information from Film Theory: They Will INFECT You! (Murder Drones Lore) video, i put two quotes together.)

“ As Uzi’s exploring the Cabin Fever labs, she picks up some paperwork that talks about decommissioning a particular worker drone named S-010011X1. However, this S has itself a completely new P/N that we haven’t seen before TSA-MMAC. ”

The paper that Uzi picks up is a foreshadowing and a hint that is Serial Designation S/Tessa.

In addition If Tessa is Serial Designation S that means she is already arrive at cooper 9, in the ending of  MURDER DRONES - Episode 1: PILOT we see three landing pods heading to cooper 9 later in the ending of MURDER DRONES - Episode 3: The Promening we see two landing pods landing on cooper 9 before the third landing pod is where Tessa/Cyn arrive few seconds later with J that probably means that Serial Designation S/ Tessa has to be one of the two landing pods that landed.

In conclusion Murder Drones has one episode left. I'm one of the fans who make theories to piece together some evidence to eventually get confirmed, my theory will be confirmed or not. We all have to wait until Murder Drones episode 8 comes out. Maybe we will finally see Serial Designation S and what the ending of Muder Drones will be like, a good ending or bad ending. Like I said, I will have to wait until Murder Drones episode 8 comes out. And that's all for now bye.

Murder Drone Theories

Murder Drones is a series on YouTube made by Glitch productions and Liam Vickers and is currently my favorite series. With the new episode, Cabin Fever, I want to talk about my theories over murder drones. I've got my inspiration from the YouTubers Unhelpful Commentary, Tyromaniac and RemGames.

Many different systems are used to identify drones, murder drones, etc... here are the ones I know of:

Names. The most obvious one is that worker drones have given names to themselves (like Nori Doorman and Thad). I don't think that they had names when the humans were still alive on Copper 9, they probably started using names when quick communication was needed to escape from the disassembly drones and ideas of individuality started to form.

Planet naming. It is known that the planet where the worker drones live is called Copper 9. This name has two parts: "Copper", which refers to a metal and "9", which is a counting number. The full name, Copper 9, might refer to the ninth planet marked for mining copper. A less likely theory is that this is the ninth planet visited by the Copper team.

Worker Drone ID. At the time-stamp 9:19 of Heartbeat, you can see Uzi's teacher playing solitaire. If you look at the bottom-left corner you can see WDID: #2342. This is probably the name that is used for these drones before they were naming themselves. 2342 seems like a low number of worker drones given that at least nine planets have been visited and mined by drones before him. It is more likely to me that this is the 2342th worker drone on the planet Copper 9.

Designation. A murder drones designation consists of two parts: a single letter which is used for communication and a string of 1's and 0's with an x somewhere in the middle which is used for identification. Example are N-0X0010010 and S-010011X01.

Group ID. Each Murder drones group has their own group ID. These are written with the name of the administrator of the group first (like CYN and ISA) and then with four letters for which I don't know the meaning of. Examples of this are CYN-MYKX (with N, J and V) and ISA-MMAC (with S and others I don't know about).

Absolute Solver. The Absolute Solver program uses its own IDs for identifying its host. There are three-digit numbers. Known examples are 676 for J, 048 for Yeva (Doll's mother) and 002 for Nori (Uzi's mother). If Liam Vickers uses the same system as he used for his series Design, then that means that the first digit is used to identify the class. J and possibly all murder drones are then in sixth class, who are drones that are capable of producing poisonous substances, like nanite acid. The drones Yeva and Nori are in the zeroth class, who are known for matter distortion on the molecular level, we can see Doll doing this in episode three where she teleports and makes exact copies of knifes, which she probably got from her mother, Yeva. In episode four it is shown that the bugs also use this method of identifying drones and thus we can conclude that these bugs, or at least some of them, were made for the drones infected with absolute solver.

I think that these were all of them. If I missed one, please tell me.

I want to talk about the bugs a bit because no-one else will. There are robotic bugs that you can see frequently crawling around in various places in the series. Most of them are not cleaned, meaning that removing bugs from a place is part of cleaning a place. As shown in episode four, Cabin Fever, the purpose of some of these bugs are to help drones infected with the absolute solver virus. We can see some kind of emotion from these bugs like being afraid when Doll comes home, being surprised though I can't remember when and being grateful when Uzi repairs one. Further evidence for these emotions is the third option that a bug in episode four gave to Uzi, who was mistaken for 002 (Nori). The choice was to "end my suffering (promo discount expired)". The fact that it mentioned suffering means that the bug is at least capable of that emotion. What we so far know that the bugs can do is crawl on walls floors and ceilings and being able to chat with people. I can't make a good guess for what the purpose is for these bugs or why they exist in the first place.

My second theory is that Cyn has infected N, J and V with Absolute Solver while they were still in the haunted mansion. They were close to humans when becoming AS infected. These humans didn't execute them or used their normal method of getting rid of this infection, but they instead send them to Copper 9 after hearing that humans were wiped from that planet and that there is now no-one there to stop AS from spreading, possibly upon request from JC Jenson in spaaaaacee!!!!

This post is getting too long. Bye!

From the Milwaukee Anti-War Committee:

On February 20th, the newly formed Wisconsin Defense Industry Council (WDIC) will be holding a summit at the Fairbanks Morse Defense headquarters in Beloit, WI. There, the council will be officially launched. Created by the Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) and the Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC), the WDIC is made up of defense industry manufacturers and banks to focus on ‘supply chain issues’ and ‘workforce shortages’ for weapons manufacturing in Wisconsin. To add to the insult from this newly formed legion of war profiteers, the keynote speaker for the summit is none other than Senator Tammy Baldwin!

We say NO to the WDIC! The people of Wisconsin deserve money for jobs and education that is NOT tied to war and occupation! Shame on Tammy Baldwin! Join us on February 20th at Fairbanks Morse Defense as we stand against the WDIC and let these warmongerers know they are not welcome!

60 Years of Doctor Who Anniversary Marathon - Troughton 8th Review

The Wheel of Ice - Novel 

When the Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe are forced to land the TARDIS unexpectedly, they wind up stranded on a mining colony on an ice moon of Saturn during the early days of Earth’s space exploration. The little colony is little more than a slave camp run by the Bootstrap corporation and it’s melomaniac CEO. But while tensions start to rupture between the children of the colony and their oppressors, a new threat emerges. A much older threat. An ancient threat. And it wants to go home. 

Alright, let’s talk about what I liked about this story first. 

The world building is great, to start with. In fact it maybe the book’s biggest strength. The author not only lays out this futuristic colony and culture extremely well, but he also fills in the past leading up to it’s creation, giving you an idea of how everyone got there and why. 

The author also does a good job of providing little character moments to make you care about his original characters while also representing the regulars very well. I especially liked the conflict Zoe had to visiting her near past, where everything was familiar and yet wrong at the same time to her. The most successful of these new characters is MMAC the Scottish robot, who you wind up feeling for very deeply. 

Though this does lead to a minor problem. Some characters are introduced and then not given much of a resolution... like with First and his growing sentience or Harry trying to reconnect with his estrange kids after a divorce. These plot points are introduced and then either dropped or given a measly pay off. 

Worse is the villain's arc. The author tries to give her depth and and a tragic backstory, and it just doesn’t work because her past doesn’t logically connect back to her current goals. The Doctor says she’s just out for revenge, but revenge against whom exactly? No one aboard the colony has anything to do with what happened to her in her childhood, and her plan doesn’t stand to gain her anything against those she does blame for her woes. 

Which is a shame because I would have gladly accepted her as just a Elon Musk/Jeff Bezos stand in. She doesn’t actually need to be anything more than greedy and stupid. 

Which loops me back around to what I do enjoy about the conflict. The classism and socio-economic disparity between the uber rich and the exploited poor is a tale as old as time, but is sadly even more relevant today than when the book was publish only a decade ago. It’s a nice little allegory to real world problems, with interesting socio-political problems born from advance technology reshaping the world;  just as all good science fiction should be.     

At least the political conflict is interesting, the alien invasion stuff not so much. The Blue Dolls/Soldiers and the ancient being controlling them, are just a little too similar to Autons and the Nestene to really make an impact. And efforts to try and make them more unique, only fail in the end because of the lack of follow through. The idea that they might have minds of their own are dropped in favor of generic base under siege stuff. 

There’s also the weird pacing at times. Like the author builds up to something climatic only to cut away and claim it was resolved off screen. Then we get chapters of exposition instead. Or in the case of the runaways subplot, Jamie having to rescue a bunch of teenagers from their own stupidity over and over again. 

I mean there’s only so many times I can read about a dumb kid braking his ankle on a scooter for the umpteenth time, before I start to think that maybe the adults had a point in trying to ‘ground’ them, so to speak. 

Really the trip to Titan is such pointless filler in the end and is where the book starts to drag a bit. Which is a shame because it would have been the perfect time to give us some more world building/character development and it just doesn’t. It’s also when the more boring alien invasion stuff reaches it’s peak. 

Fortunately, once Jamie returns things start to pick back up again, as the book heads towards it’s finale.  

All this is to say, I really enjoyed the novel over all, despite its weaknesses. I think it’s a strong contender for the top five slot in the Second Doctor ranking I’ll do later, but it’s never going to beat the like of The Invasion.
