Description
Zombie drones from Murder Drones are a variant of Worker Drones that have been improperly deactivated and subsequently revived by the influence of the Absolute Solver. This can result in hazardous mutations and, in the case of Cyn, a complete override of the drone's consciousness.
Origin
- Improper disposal: JCJenson created Worker Drones with a built-in "wdOS_606" program to terminate their AI and prepare them for disassembly. A zombie drone is created when a Worker Drone is not properly purged during the decommissioning process, allowing a chance for the drone to reboot on its own.
- Absolute Solver corruption: While most improperly rebooted drones return to normal, a tiny fraction—just 0.7%—can become infected with the Absolute Solver program, leading to "potentially hazardous mutations". Cyn, the series' primary antagonist, was such a drone.
- Cyn's role: Cyn was the first well-documented zombie drone host of the Absolute Solver. She reanimated on her own from a junkyard pile, eventually causing the human massacre on Earth and spreading the Solver program.
Characteristics and abilities
- Corrupted appearance: Zombie drones often have a decayed, damaged look, with leaking oil, cracked screens where their eyes should be, and mauve-colored eyes.
- Hostile behavior: Unlike normal rebooted drones, a Solver-infected zombie drone is a dangerous, unpredictable threat.
- Absolute Solver power: If infected, a zombie drone can access the reality-bending abilities of the Absolute Solver. These can include:
- Telekinesis
- Object manipulation
- Reality distortion
- High temperature: As shown by the "zombified" version of Uzi, zombie drones experience dangerously high core temperatures due to their inability to produce or consume oil, which sends them into a violent, oil-seeking rampage.
Key distinction: Zombie vs. Solver Drones
It's important to differentiate between a zombie drone and a Solver-infected drone like Uzi:
- Zombie Drone: The physical vessel, a drone that was improperly disassembled and rebooted.
- Solver Drone: A drone, whether a zombie or not, that is infected with and can use the Absolute Solver's abilities.
- Infection source: While a zombie drone can be infected with the Solver during its reactivation, a Solver infection can also be passed down hereditarily, as in the case of Uzi
