The Keybug is a sentient electronic bug functioning as a "key" required to access the elevator at Cabin Fever Labs.
After somehow ending up at Camp 98.7, it is found and taken in by Uzi Doorman before being forcibly captured by Doll so that she, "Tessa Elliott" (Absolute Solver), and J can access Cabin Fever Labs for themselves.
Physical Appearance[]
It resembles a cockroach and can communicate through live-update text bubbles. Unlike the normal robot cockroaches seen throughout the series, the Keybug is much larger with a golden coat and green lights.
Biography[]
Season 1[]
Cabin Fever[]
In Cabin Fever, Uzi finds the Keybug in an abandoned cabin. It crawls up her arm and she tries to slap it, but it dodges and makes a ">:(" face. It then proceeds to scan her face. It recognizes her face as Nori's and asks her to select one of the following options: SUBMIT TIMECARD, PTO REQUEST, REGISTER TORTURE CHAMBER COMPLAINT, END MY SUFFERING ( PROMO OFFER DISCONTINUED ), or CALL ELEVATOR. Uzi tried to ask more questions regarding the elevator, but because she was using speech-to-text, it didn't pick up on her voice well enough and didn't generate the words she used, deeming her request invalid.
When the episode cuts to the Keybug, Uzi is holding it in an attempt to communicate to N from across the woods without V noticing her presence. However, N accidentally blows Uzi's cover, causing the Keybug to make an ":O" face using the text bubble. At the end of the episode, the Keybug comes with Uzi on the way back to the colony and buries itself under her beanie.
Home[]
The Keybug is seen on Uzi's head as she accesses N and V's memories. When Khan tries to talk to Uzi, the Keybug tells him "IT'S LIFE OR DEATH DAD! >:(". Doll busts down the door to Uzi's room to retrieve the bug. As a result, a fight breaks out and Doll and Uzi battles over it for a minute while the Keybug pleads for them both to stop fighting and calls them both "very scary". Eventually, Uzi tells Doll to "just go" so that she can continue to look through N's memories, throws the Keybug at Doll's face, before slamming the door back on its hinges.
At the end of the episode, Doll appears on a frozen lake to face "Tessa" and J, whom they gave the bug to in exchange for an alliance.
Dead End[]
When Uzi, N, V, "Tessa", and J are facing each other, Doll uses her Absolute Solver to grab the Keybug back from "Tessa" and proceeds to teleport out of the area, causing everyone to chase her.
Uzi, N, V, and Tessa finds Doll again towards the end of the episode, where she is apparently boot-looped. They approach her and "Tessa" snatches the Keybug from Doll, twirling it around on her finger and repeatedly tapping it, to which the Keybug tells "Tessa" that she is an unauthorized user.
Doll suddenly awakens, revealing that she faked her bootloop, and uses her Absolute Solver powers to take the Keybug back and place it on the reader. The Keybug is last seen exclaiming "💀 BRUH.JPG" after Doll tricks the group and escapes.
Absolute End[]
The Keybug is seen in the credits, sitting on the Red Sentinel named Sparky, who was playing chess with V.
