Serial Designation J, what the heckkk??

(Spoilers for episode seven and eight of Murder Drones!!!!!!!!!)

Serial Designation J from Murder Drones is a pretty complicated character. If you want to understand why she teamed up with Cyn in episode eight, you need to use lots of brain power to read into certain lines. But anyway, this is my super-awesome explanation as to why J teamed up with Cyn!!

J's relationship with Tessa is apparently clear in episode five. You can easily see that the two are very close, and even are best friends. "There's humans coming, and I've only ever yakked to robots, J!" (Episode: Home) In episode five, there is also a scene that shows how much they care about one another: Tessa and J clinked their glasses, and Tessa who was reminded of the noise of chains locking her up, rubbed her own wrist and winced in pain. J looked at her with concern and sadness, so Tessa assured her that she was alright.

As we can see just from these two examples, J and Tessa definitely care for each other quite a bit. As we know, Cyn killed Tessa and wore her skin. It could easily be assumed that anything Cyn would do has a purpose and would benefit her in some way, but this just doesn't make sense, as it doesn't do her any favors. With this thought process, it's obvious to come to the conclusion that she didn't have a reason; she just wanted to because she's sadistic, and she particularly wanted to disturb J, specifically (yes, I know that sentence is redundant). Because J was so close to Tessa, and likely was forced to watch Tessa die at the hands of Cyn, she was very disconcerted by Cyn wearing Tessa's skin and even mimicking her voice, so it was easy for Cyn to manipulate her. "If I promise you anything, it tricked me, too." (Episode: The Absolute End)

If you were to ask yourself what you would do in J's situation, I'm sure that you would want to think logically. What do you do if somebody who you've never liked in the first place kills your best friend, wore their skin, mimicked their voice, and tried to act like them? On top of that, this person is super powerful and would be nearly impossible to defeat. Now, they are telling you that they won't hurt you if you do something for them. Anybody would take the deal at this point, so that's what J did. In an already distressed state, J realized that there was basically no way that Cyn would ever lose, so theoretically, it would be the safest option to do what she wants. "I promise, it's better on the winning team as a team." (Episode: The Absolute End)

After J had teamed up with Cyn, she also got V in on it, too. "You said we do our jobs, and that thing leaves us alone!" (Episode: The Absolute End) Both J and V kept the secret from N, and this is implied to be part of their deal with Cyn. This is particularly shown in episode eight after V tries to tell N about how the "Tessa" that they know is actually Cyn, and then Cyn says to her, "Do your job, and I leave you and N alone. Right, V?" (Episode: The Absolute End). Since we know that J and V both had made a deal with Cyn, we can infer that they had always known since the beginning, and have been being manipulated by Cyn in real time during the time of the show. Of course the way that V was manipulated by Cyn is heartbreaking as well (and I will make a post about her in the future 😉), the way that J was manipulated is horrifying. You may have seen memes online about J being William Afton from FNAF, because every time we think she dies she tends to come back eventually. But the truth is that it was very intentional of Cyn to make J basically immortal, because in that case J would never be capable of rebelling against her. If she rebelled, Cyn could torture her and or simply kill her and bring her back with all the memories. J couldn't take her own life because Cyn would bring her back. Because J thought that There was no way to beat Cyn, she figured that getting on her good side was the safest often. She just thought that there was literally no way that she could go against Cyn without being tortured forever.

"You know there's no escape, even in death!" (Episode: The Absolute End)

(This is just a theory of mine, but I find it likely that the reason that J would call Cyn "Boss" just like she called Tessa "Boss", is so she could try to familiarize Cyn and make her seem more like Tessa in order to make the situation feel better. But that's JUST A THEORY-- A GAAMMMMEE THEORY)

Listen, it’s not even December by the time I’m posting this but hey I had to get it out the Tesby is just to cute to ignore

I HAD TO MAKE THIS I LOVE TESSA WAY TO MUCH AND SHE IS NOT DEAD IN MY HEART

there’s something about this scene in murder drones that really fucks with me when I think about it

—long post and murder drones ep 7 spoilers below—

So for a short recap of what happened up till this point, Tessa told N that Earth imploded, to keep the former a secret from Uzi, escaped from whatever the fuck happened in Ep 6 and V sacrificed herself so the rest of them could continue exploring Cabin Fever Labs and not be brutally torn apart by the sentinels.

N’s not having a good time to put it lightly.

He’s in the aftermath of V’s sacrifice and N’s look of just pure despair here says more than I could ever try to put into words.

He’s in shock, he’s concerned and scared and his mind must be working overtime trying to process what just happened.

V may be dead.

Denial or anger or maybe even both comes over him. Even if V and N’s relationship has been messy recently, he still CARES about her and having V sacrifice herself for both his and Uzi’s sake… He just can’t take it.

Impulse takes over as he begins firing at the ruble. V can’t be dead. SHE CAN’T BE DEAD.

He yells at Uzi to use her solver so they can get back V. He starts slashing at the ruble with claws because he needs V with him. He isn’t thinking, he’s just blindly attacking because he NEEDS V.

As he continues acting purely on his emotions, Tessa yells at him to watch it and he turns around to see…

“I… don’t think I s-should. I’m sorry, N…”

N must feel terrible in this moment. In his inconsideration, he hurt Uzi, one of the people he cares the most about. He might already have lost one of his friends and he doesn’t want lose another. He must feel awful.

He tries apologizing, tries deescalating the situation. You can see in his body language here that he’s trying get down to her level, trying to make her feel not uncomfortable with him. He wants to tell her it isn’t her fault, that he lost control of his emotions for a moment and feels deeply sorry for what he just did and-

Tessa interrupts him.

Tessa stops him from trying to talk it out with Uzi. Now, I feel like we all know at this point that this isn’t Tessa. This is Cyn wearing Tessa’s skin pretending to be Tessa and on rewatch this scene hits even harder. At this point in the story, Cyn is trying to regain control of N, either by manipulating him or hacking into his software (as seen by a this).

And to do that, Cyn has to get N alone and isolated from anyone who might try to intervene.

What Cyn is trying to do by not letting N speak to Uzi is that she’s trying to drive a wrench between the two, and if she succeeds, she can have an obedient murder pet that will eat planets with her. Seeing as neither of her plans worked out, she settled on just killing N, thus the whole “why is Cyn after her own murder pet” thing.

I’m getting ahead of myself, back to the scene itself.

This single frame adds so much in such little time its shown. Uzi sees herself bleeding in the reflection of Tessa’s sword, not oil, but blood. As anyone would be in this situation, she’s visibly shocked. Not only does this add another parallel between Doll and Uzi, but it also adds a level of discomfort to Tessa on Uzi’s behalf.

Tessa goes “Uzi, let’s have you sit this one out, eh? Box over there. Robots like boxes, right?” Which is (1. Insensitive and emotionally immature of her. And (2. Cyn trying to get alone with N.

Uzi doesn't want anymore of Tessa’s cryptic bullshit and tries to speak up and is yet again, interrupted by Tessa. This time, she’s speaking solely to N. She wants him to speak.

As you can see, N does not like being abruptly put on the spot. Taking everything prior into account, we can tell that N doesn’t know what to say. Cyn, FOR THE THIRD TIME THIS SCENE, is forcing that wrench harder down into N and Uzi’s relationship.

N is visibly nervous when speaking here. He’s trying to pick his words as carefully as he can under this much stress. He manages to get out “Uzi, there, um, might be some things down here that you don’t want to see.”

Uzi isn’t getting the full picture here. N is hiding something from her, which is terrifying for her. What reason would N have to hide anything from her? And Cabin Fever Labs, possibly the only place where Uzi can get answers, “might have things she doesn’t want to see”? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

N is definitely freaking out because Uzi is freaking out and N doesn’t want to be responsible for anybody freaking out, especially if it’s Uzi.

N isn’t getting the full picture either because “Tessa” is purposefully not giving it to him.

N tries assuring Uzi that everything’s going to be alright, that they’re not going to hurt her.

“…Hurt me?”

…

Uzi’s solver activates and it summons a null void. The corridor starts caving in. N reaches a hand out for Uzi to take. She backs away.

And that ends one of the most emotional one minute and forty two seconds of my life. Yeah, that’s right, everything mentioned here happened in the span of one minute and forty two seconds!

FUCK
