#wylde lore

Location: Unnamed mountain range, Copper 9

Elevation: Unknown

Wylde Labs, also known as Doctor Wylde's Laboratory, is the home of the Wylde family and a top secret facility hidden in the mountains. It's actually built into the mountains themselves, with much of the laboratory located underground.

The laboratory is heavily guarded on all sides by thick stone walls and powerful defensive batteries, ranging from sniper nests to anti-air missile launchers, not to mention the countless automatons constantly patrolling the grounds. The interior is also guarded with automatons patrolling the halls and various turrets hidden in the ceiling. The paths to and from the laboratory are extremely easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for, and to even enter the place without being captured or killed you need permission, proof of permission, and ideally an appointed guide who's already familiar with the area and trusted by the guards. This guide is usually either one of the staff or a member of the Wylde family.

Anyone and everyone who enters the facility must first swear an oath of secrecy that what they see and do in the facility (pertaining to the work done in the lower levels) stays in the facility. Because of this, it's unclear what exactly they do in there. Some say the lab researches the various life forms, commonly referred to as "monsters," that have survived and adapted to Copper 9's eternal winter and poisonous atmosphere. Others say they build weapons and put them up for auction on the black market. No one knows for certain, though.

Location: Doctor Wylde's laboratory, Floor 1-A

There are two main entrances into Doctor Wylde's laboratory; the cargo bay and the main entrance. The main entrance is, as the name implies, the primary way into the building, while the cargo bay is for vehicles only. Both must go through an airlock before they can enter the main building, with the main entrance's airlock leading straight into the lobby, and the cargo bay airlocks allow access to the stairs/elevators.

Let's start things off by taking a step back. We are stuck in a hole beneath the ice and stone. It's boring here. Let's see the sights this planet has to offer.

...Hmm, strange. Did Uzi and her crew get smaller? Well, it's probably nothing to worry about.

Let's take another step back. Copper 9 implies that it's the 9th planet in this system. What are the others like? Do they have Drones? Are they plagued by Disassembly Drones and Solver infections?

Ok, the main cast is definitely smaller now. As if they're... becoming insignificant the farther back we go. But we can't stop now.

Another step back. The Copper system is but a singular solar system among untold trillions, and each and every one has its own stories. The traumas our favorite Drones face are so small from up here.

But what if we went even further? Now we are among not just the universe, but the multiverse. What manner of cosmic beings - gods, even - are out here? How do they perceive the Solver? Is it a great threat to them? Or is it a mere blip in the grand scheme of things? Uzi, N, V, J, Tessa, Khan, Nori, Yeva, Cyn, they are all mere specks of dust from up here, floating adrift in an unfeeling and uncaring universe. And, when you think about it, that's what they are; clumps of cosmic stardust created and given sentience by other dust clumps.

This world is indifferent to the plights of mortals. The gods do not care for the Drones, if they even know they're there. They are wrapped up in grander things. But what are these grander things? By studying the multiverse and the cosmic beings that govern its rules, what can we learn?

What happens when we embrace the Eldritch Truth?

There are a lot of Murder Drones AUs out there, and so I thought I might as well throw my own hat into the ring, but this one does things a little differently; Instead of focusing primarily on the local setting of the show, I've turned my eyes outward and intend to flesh out the greater universe.

Unfortunately, I have Silly Brain (an affectionate nickname I have for Autism Spectrum Disorder), and if there's one thing I love it's crossovers, magic, and horror - especially cosmic horror, so I recommend keeping that in mind.

Evelyn's theme song:

"target aquired."

Marksmen are, unsurprisingly, made for long-range combat.

Processing low armor and shields, though the same health pool as a standard automaton, Marksmen are not suited for the front lines. But at range, they can mess you up.

Marksmen are equipped with a standard issue plasma pistol and mono-molecular bowie knife, but the star of the show is their primary weapon - the M82 anti-matter rifle. The rifle fires .50 caliber armor-piercing EXACTO rounds that actually get faster instead of slower as they travel, are seemingly unaffected by gravity, and can even adjust their trajectory to hit the target mid-flight. These rounds can pierce through up to three meters of solid stone like a hot knife through butter, and come in three different variants. Incendiary rounds burst upon impact, lighting the target on fire and burning them alive from the inside out. Laser rounds are more of an alternate firing mode. Instead of bullets, it fires a blast of energy that burns hotter than the surface of the sun and melts most substances as it passes through them. Anti-matter rounds are - as the name implies - tipped with trace amounts of anti-matter. Upon contact the round will detonate, erasing the target from existence as the matter and anti-matter cancel each other out. This cancellation will also result in a titanic explosion as the energy of the two sides is released all at once.
