Solver Drones

Solver Drones are a variant of Worker Drones who possesses the Absolute Solver's code in their system and thus, can be manipulated by the program itself. They were already seen all the way back in the "PILOT" as Uzi Doorman is one, including her mother and Doll, with Yeva and Cyn being later revealed as Solver Drones as well.

Serial Designation V and J were also Solver Drones, but because of their current statuses as Disassembly Drones, their Solver status is blocked by Cyn and they prevented from utilising it.

Causes[]

There are only two known ways on how a Worker Drone can become Solver-infected, which are of the following:

One or both parents are infected with the Absolute Solver, and their infected code is passed down to their child.
The drone grants the Absolute Solver access to their system after forced rebooting, which also would classify them as a Zombie Drone.

Physical Appearance[]

When infected by the Absolute Solver, the physical appearances of the Solver Drones often don't experience significant change, remaining similar to their standard Worker Drone form. However, in times that the Solver is attempting to gain control, their eyes will glitch and eventually turn full yellow when fully possessed, resembling Cyn, the first known host. Additionally, upon experiencing Solver-transformation, many Solver Drones will gain features such as sentient tails, organic wings, and claws. Examples being Uzi, V before becoming a Disassembly Drone, and Cyn.

In "Mass Destruction", there was one Worker Drone Cabin Fever Labs test subject named Jame "012" who had a head resembling Eldritch J's. This may imply that Solver-transformation goes beyond more than just wings, tails, and claws.

Types of Solver Drones[]

Solver Hosts[]

Solver Hosts are Solver Drones whose bodies are capable of being completely taken over by the Absolute Solver, essentially making them hosts. Additionally, they can use the powers of the Absolute Solver themselves. However, what they can do with it varies on their skill.

Some Solver Hosts may also experience something that can be called Solver-transformation, where they mutate and gain organic wings and possibly sentient tails. In this state, Solver Hosts behave similarly to Solver-influenced drones, the full possession often being triggered by lack of oil or emotional factors. Thankfully, they can gain control over this form and not be influenced by the program.

Drones who fall into this category are Uzi, Cyn, Nori, Yeva, Doll, and V before her forced transformation as a Disassembly Drone.

Solver-influenced[]

Solver-influenced drones are drones that are completely aware of their actions and have control over their body, but they are unable to do certain things that are against the administration, which is Cyn, initially. Just like Solver Hosts, they can experience Solver-transformation, and according to Nori's note in "Mass Destruction" they are puppet hosts that have a "nerfed" version of the entity to ensure control. However, they cannot utilise the Absolute Solver's abilities such as mutation, teleportation, and the more direct powers like Hosts do if blocked by an "Admin" in their network, such as N in "Pilot" who when rebooting showed "STRING "ABSOLUTE SOLVER" BLOCKED BY ADMINISTRATION "CYN", and who did not have permission for the "reconstituting material form" function to regenerate before it was auto-run. Drones who fall into this category are Disassembly Drones.

Solver-affected[]

Solver-affected drones are worker drones who are only controlled by the Absolute Solver briefly or as needed. They are not used as hosts like Solver Hosts or puppets like the Solver-influenced, but they can be manipulated to some extent and mind-controlled (Solver-possessed) by the program. They do not experience Solver-transformation and cannot use the abilities of the Absolute Solver. Drones who fall into this category is J and the Drones of the Elliot Manor before their forced transformation into Disassembly Drones.

Biography[]

Since the Absolute Solver lacks a physical form due to being a program, it forcefully turns Worker Drones into hosts for it to mutate and take control of, with its first victim being Cyn. As revealed in "Home", Cyn rebooted by herself and accepted the Absolute Solver access to her system after being discarded years before and thrown in a Worker dump. She somehow manages to escape the pile, before being taken in by Tessa and taking the role as a maid of Elliott Manor. At some point, the Absolute Solver successfully takes over Cyn's body and identity, taking advantage of her newfound control over the latter's system.

As seen in N's memories, it is revealed that Cyn, under the control of the Absolute Solver, creates Disassembly Drone copies of N, V, and J during her time locked up in the manor's basement. When the humans attended a gala inside the building, Cyn massacred them with the help of the Worker Drones in the manor, which the Absolute Solver also took over and possessed.

Before this, N, alongside Uzi (who entered his memories and is now viewing the past) as a crow, goes to investigate what Cyn was up to, but Cyn later stops the two. Additionally, V became a Solver Drone beforehand, but she was not observed utilizing the Absolute Solver herself. J and Tessa had also tried to stop the Absolute Solver from massacring the humans together, even battling against Solver V, but they inevitably fail too as J falls into the Absolute Solver's control and becomes Solver-possessed.

After Uzi gets kicked out of N's memories, the Absolute Solver later transforms J, V, N, as well as multiple other Worker Drones that worked for the Elliots, into Disassembly Drones, before making them fight against humanity. The humans on Copper 9 eventually finds out about this situation and decides to research further about the Absolute Solver in Cabin Fever Labs, forcing Worker Drones to become test subjects for the sake of this mission.

Nori Doorman, one of the Worker Drone test subjects, gets Solver-possessed and ends up killing all the humans while they were trying to expel the Absolute Solver from her body. Yeva, another host for the program, manages to free Nori from its control via the Crucifix Patch. Despite her efforts, it still manages to destroy Copper 9 in a way, turning the planet into a cold wasteland deprived of organic life.

Nori, alongside Yeva, escaped from the labs together and joins the Worker Drone colony residing in Outpost 3, where Nori meets Khan Doorman and creates Uzi, while Yeva meets her unnamed husband and creates Doll. Because both Yeva and Nori were hosts of the Absolute Solver, their infected code were passed down to Uzi and Doll, ultimately granting them their parents' abilities and making them hosts to the program too.
