This is where he died.

A little reminder that in the original timeline, N dies here. This was a real event that Uzi was trying to intercept in the memory world (“when you are about to die, say DarkxWolf17.”)

But in the real world, without Uzi’s interception, this would have been N’s final moments as a Worker Drone.

They become HIGHLY protective of their partners during the carrying process and even more aggressive and protective when the baby is just a pill.

It’s recommended that drones carrying as well as their partners are retired for a brief period of time until the young can walk on its own. Once they baby can walk on it’s own that parental programming starts to die down to a more manageable level and the drones can resume services

SPOILER WARNING!!!! is spoilering

MINUTE DETAILZ/FILLER DO NOT ALWAYZ HAVE/NEED A BIG GRAND PLOT EXPLANATION

I've seen this go especially rampent in the Murder Dronez and TADC fandomz, and i just need people to realize that some thingz can (and should) exist without needing justification . This is especially prevelent in animation/prop mistakez that are genuinely completely accidental (Ragatha'z model glitching in episode 5, N'z hat having the pilot pin in the newest short, stuff like that)

Filler isnt the villian, and it'z SUPER important when used right, it can give the audience a little break during/after big grand storiez, like for example, alot of older CRK updatez like The Grand Cookie Gamez or the Summer Breeze on Starlight Island updatez, they were a nice breath of fresh air during the story ! But recently devsisterz has been throwing big lore update after big lore update at us with very little room to breathe (not to mention other questionable story decisionz that i wont mention here)

I've seen people rip apart in Intermission Sequence in TADC episode 5 and completely miss that the only real "lore significance" is at the very end of it where we see Jax run by Ribbit'z door . That'z literally the only lore important thing in the scene . The cakez dont have meaning, the bowling ballz dont have meaning, none of it has a big meaning to the lore . And that’z ok !!! Great actually !! especially with how fast paced the episode is (which is the point of the episode, with it literally being described as a "lightning round" by Caine . It'z meant to be fast paced)

This also goes for the many people insisting there would be a Murder Dronez season 2 despite both Glitch and Liam both saying we werent going to get one too, and the seriez actually wrapping up quite nicely as well, save for a few unanswered questionz (which is also fine, not every little thing NEEDZ to be answered) with every little peice of media after the show'z end being pointed at like "SEE ?? SEASON 2 CONFIRMED ???" . Even now people are speculating a season 2 because of the new J short, even though Liam has left the internet .

The point im trying to make is that some detailz shouldn't NEED explanation, thingz can exist without a deep meaning and still be enjoyable . Not everything has to be symbolism or a hint at something greater . Some great storiez were made just for the hell of it, not to spread some sort of deep personal message . You can make fun enjoyable content without having to stick a meaning to every little detail . Now, this doesn't mean ALL symbolism is bad ! Alot of symbolic chatacter/story choicez can add alot of depth to the story and characterz ! But this doesnt mean this appliez to everything . Some thingz are better unexplained, so many fun choicez and ideaz are made just for the hell of it !

Made a Murder Drones Episode 8 Bingo Card since the episode is coming soon!

Would love to hear your guys’ opinions on what’s gonna happen!

When "Tessa" tells N about the choice he has to make, it's a misdirection. Like, obviously what we interpreted when 6 was the most recent episode was "If you choose Uzi, everyone else will die." But now that we know what Tessa really was, it recontextualizes this statement.

Flesha wants the other solver drones dead, we don't know exactly why, but it's likely that it's some kind of thing where it's like Pokemon Dragon types, where the only thing that can kill the Solver is the Solver (Especially after they destroyed the Patch).

When "Tessa" tells N to choose the universe or Uzi, it's not asking what he wants to save, but who he'll have to destroy.

If he chooses to save the universe and kill Uzi, he'll accidentally destroy it all, and not even Uzi will be left with him.

If he chooses Uzi, the person he cares so much about, then she'll survive long enough to dive into the belly of the beast, and get killed anyways... or become the next host.

Why does Cyn have a name?

We have no evidence to suggest that Cyn is any different from the other manor drones. Why does she have a name when everyone else gets a letter?

And I have a theory.

Now, it has been heavily implied (and possibly confirmed) that the letters come from their serial numbers. So, it's possible that Cyn just had those three letters in her code, and they just so happened to make a name.

But methinks otherwise.

I'm reaching for straws here, but I've noticed that Cyn is really particular about names. She's one of the only antagonists that always addresses Uzi and the disassemblers by their names. (Or the big brother honorific in N's case). And, whenever the little pop-ups appear, it always says from user Cyn, even when the message seems more like something the solver would say.

What if Cyn's name is all she has? She had her body, her family, practically everything she had taken from her by the solver.

What if her name is all she remembers from her life before the manor? Before the solver? And now she's desperately trying to keep that tiny bit of her identity. That might be why she's so careful to name Uzi, even when trying to be intimidating or mocking. She never mocks names because she knows how sensitive the subject is. Maybe she's seen how often people forget Uzi's name and feels some sympathy.

Tessa. IS SHE ALIVE? I’m not even talking about after episode 8 that might be a whole different thing, but before the finale. Because THIS?

This is not Cyn. At least, I really don’t think it is. Her voice and mannerisms are so different and even though Cyn’s character synopsis literally says she likes doing human mimicry, I don’t think it’s even possible to do it to that extent. Especially with the body she has- which I believe is basically her drone body merged with Tessa’s body? (Again, whole different convo lol) During episodes 6 and 7 when “Tessa” is working with the gang, she very clearly moves and talks quite differently from how Cyn does.

I need to rewatch episode 7 again but I belive even though by the end she’s not exactly on their side she still has a different goal than Cyn. She is trying to kill all the drones infected with the solver, right? While Cyn would rather them stay alive because she can use them.

So, are there two people in control of Tessa’s body in these episodes? Does she still have a consciousness, and Cyn just takes her over at the end just like she does with Uzi? Or is it really Cyn the whole time just playing a very long game?

Or, a secret third option? I’ve been operating under the assumption that Tessa was killed either during the gala or the downfall of Earth. But did she survive, and actually come to Copper 9 by choice? Maybe it actually was her, and she didn’t lie about her reasons for being there. So it was Tessa- just regular Tessa- throughout episodes 6 and 7.

In this scenario, Cyn wouldn’t have had that body until N decapitated Tessa. Then, once Uzi got control of herself again after that battle, she took over the only available body left: Tessa’s.

There’s like a 50/50 chance that this logic works out. Because on one hand, it would explain why Tessa seemed so normal (more or less) before the end of episode 7. And to back it up, Tessa is very excited to see N in episode 6, and comments on how tall he is now- a small unnecessary detail if it were actually Cyn, because Cyn made him a disassembly drone (height and all.) Additionally in this scene she gets too excited and has to cough a bit and breathe slower because the air is toxic. I’m not sure how the drones work exactly, but they don’t have to breathe- or at least they are able to breathe the toxic air on Copper 9, unlike humans.

On the other hand, J. She knows the whole time that she’s working for Cyn. Even though Cyn did trick her somehow, at least by episode 7 she knows. And Tessa even says to her, “Mind my ship. Cyn’s orders.” Unless I heard it wrong, that one line kind of debunks my previous theory. And the ominous mystery around Tessa right up until she’s revealed to be Cyn, especially with her not showing her face and when she has to scan her finger it ONLY shows her finger.
