Tessa used to be a young human woman with fair skin, soft pink cheeks, and freckles. She had long, silky, dark brown hair styled in twin pigtails, each tied with a hairband. She had large, bright, blue-green eyes. She was slender and relatively tall (taller than a worker drone of that era), and wore a long gray dress with black and gray details, short sleeves, high-heeled shoes, and a large bow at the back of her head.

Currently, as a ghost/spirit, Tessa is nothing more than a dark shadow with large, white, glowing eyes, lacking a mouth and any other features. Her body is somewhat translucent and seems to evaporate in certain areas, such as her elbows and legs. Despite her unsettling appearance, her ghostly form is a representation of the state in which she died: a lonely young woman, a shadow to her parents, yet visible to those who see beyond the ordinary.

As a young woman, Tessa was a very lively and kind person, though somewhat morbid, as evidenced by her bedroom decor and her nightly activities of going to the junkyard and "mysteriously" obtaining hair and clothes for her drone friends. She also kept some miniature caravels in her room.

Young Tessa was asocial, with little to no interest in other humans and no idea how to interact with them or other kids her age, exclaiming in her conversation with J, "I've only ever talked to drones!" Living a rather solitary life in her parents' large mansion, Tessa's only human companions were her drones: J, N, V, and Cyn, whom she saw as her friends and equals.

Despite her parents' dismay and scolding, Tessa felt an affinity for drones and preferred spending her time with them playing or reading. Although Tessa was usually seen near all the household drones, when she saw her parents discarding some defective ones, she took a couple of them as well. She also enjoyed fixing broken drones she found in the junkyard. She repaired them, added hair—which she got from somewhere she never revealed—and pretty clothes, even though this was something other humans disapproved of and criticized.

But after the events of the gala and Cyn's use of her skin as a human disguise for many years, Tessa's soul was sealed within Cyn's core, becoming a prison for the tormented young soul. Using her body, "Tessa" presented herself as a serious and intimidating figure, instilling fear in both humans and drones, all while plotting her next move.

Finally, after a long time, with Cyn destroyed and the AbsoluteSolver no longer having a body to possess, Tessa was able to be freed from her eternal prison, or at least largely so. The young soul had no idea what had happened after her death.

After her soul and essence were bound to the AbsoluteSolver, Tessa acquired some of its powers, almost like a solver drone or a zombie drone, but wielding them in a different way:

Telekinesis: Like Doll, Uzi, and other Solver users, Tessa can move objects without directly touching them using her AbsoluteSolver. However, she is somewhat clumsy and inexperienced at it.

×-· Solver Metamorphosis: Despite having a ghostly form, Tessa can and is able to develop large, clawed wings, similar to those of a bat, made of entirely dark matter. She also develops a sentient tail with several glowing eyes, a glowing mouth, and sharp teeth.

×-· Tentacle Manifestation: Possesses the ability to protrude black tentacles from his back at will.

×-· Immunity: Unlike other users and hosts of the Solver, Tessa is and has been able to resist Cyn and the AbsoluteSolver itself, remaining immune to their attempts at possession or manipulation.

Origin: Tessa Elliott was born to Louisa and James Elliott. Little is known about her childhood, except that she came from a wealthy family and lived in a mansion with her parents. It is implied that she suffered abuse at their hands, such as when Louisa chained her up in her room whenever she misbehaved (which happened so frequently that it left her wrist sensitive). Tessa didn't know how to interact with other humans, and her only true friends were the Worker Drones.

History: Tessa was fascinated by the Worker Drones and would go out to repair and refurbish them from the nearby junkyard so they could be her friends in the mansion. She even dressed her drones up, giving them names and wigs with hairstyles that varied from those of her deceased relatives. Other humans, like her father, James, found this behavior creepy, and even her mother referred to J, N, V, and Cyn as her "junkyard pets."

Cyn (End of AbsoluteSolver): After Uzi devours the Solver's black hole, the Cyn-Tessa hybrid falls to her knees and begins to melt. As the flesh, oil, and drone parts decompose, several of Tessa's bones, including her ribcage, femur, jaw, and hand bones, lie before Uzi.

End?: Despite what one might think, the AbsoluteSolver, as Cyn stated, did not "discard" Tessa. Tessa's soul, trapped inside Cyn alongside the Solver, left her in constant suffering, unable to rest in peace after her terrible death. No matter how much Tessa begged to be free or to rest, the Solver ignored the young woman's pleas.

It wasn't until some time after the events with the Solver, Uzi, and Cyn's fate, that Tessa was finally free.

Free to see a world that was not the one he knew, a place unknown to his poor, tormented soul.

• She loved the rain since she was a child, and she still enjoys watching it. It's just that Tessa doesn't know that the rain in Cooper 9 is acidic and somewhat toxic. • It took me a long time to understand what was happening, to understand his death, and to understand who Cyn really was. • Since waking up/being freed from the AbsoluteSolver, Tessa has been observing the drones in the area. She's noticed how different they are from those of her time and how much they fear the AbsoluteSolver/Cyn, and therefore, her as well. • Since becoming a ghost, she has not appeared before N, V, or J. The reason is simple; she is terrified of facing them as a ghost. • Tessa usually observes others from afar, or simply by making herself invisible. • She is fascinated, and a little frightened, by what J, N, and V have become. She still remembers them as her little friends. She is surprised to see how mature and grown up they are now. • The first time Tessa saw herself, she wasn't scared or afraid. On the contrary, she felt relief—relief at no longer feeling pain. • At times she is somewhat petulant and childish, retaining that playful touch of her former personality. • It usually collects interesting things it finds on the ground or in the snow, even though it can scare any unsuspecting drone. • Although she can no longer sneak off to the garbage dump/landfill near her family's mansion, Tessa still manages to explore Cooper 9. • She is also terrified of Cyn. That's why she prefers to forget his existence. • Although she wasn't very social with humans or kids her own age, Tessa is extremely outgoing with drones, both working drones and demolition drones. • It's a machine with constant energy and quite friendly for being a Spectrum affiliated with the AbsoluteSolver.

Cyn was a Worker Drone improperly discarded by her owners, causing the AbsoluteSolver to mutate inside her and take her as a host to wreak havoc. Under the Solver's influence, Cyn was responsible for many major events in the series, from the Elliott Mansion gala massacre to the deployment of Dismantling Drones at Copper 9.

After the massacre and merging the body of the deceased Tessa with herself, Cyn proceeded to rebuild N, J, V and other Drone Worker servants of the mansion into Dismantling Drones which she then unleashed upon humanity and which ultimately led to the destruction of Earth and humanity.

After expanding to the other human exoplanets by controlling other drones with the powers of the Solver, she destroyed each planet one by one until she reached Copper 9. However, due to the intervention of Yeva and Nori, she failed to initiate a total core collapse and, to finish the task, had to go directly to the planet and do it herself.

To accomplish this, Cyn reprogrammed the Dismantling Drones to hunt Worker Drones instead of humans, under the lie that their parent company had sent them, culminating in her arrival posing as Tessa to deal with the remaining Solver hosts, Doll and Uzi, to prevent anyone else from stopping her consumption of the planet.

She met her end at Uzi's hands after he destroyed her heart and swallowed her singularity core, causing the fused form of Tessa's corpse and Cyn's body to melt and Uzi to briefly become the new primary host of the Solver before separating Tessa from the AbsoluteSolver and sharing that title with her.

Uzi Doorman: She's a teenage worker drone with a rebellious and intense personality. She has a tough, gruff exterior that hides her shyness. Despite her initial intention to kill the dismantling drones that were hunting her kind with her railgun, after meeting N, the two drones, despite their differences, connected almost instantly and became close friends, and even a couple now. Uzi not only fought Cyn, but also helped N confront her fears.

Serial Designation N: N used to be a simple servant drone at the Elliott Manor before being dismantled by Cyn and the Solver. He was one of the dismantling drones that led to the eradication of humanity across the Earth. He was the pilot of the ship in his squadron. Despite being a killing machine, N remains friendly, enthusiastic, and socially awkward. When he met Uzi, he was charmed by her rebellious attitude, even though it went against his beliefs. N quickly grew fond of Uzi, standing up to J and V, and even trying to convince them they could make a better team. He eventually found the courage to fight Cyn.

Serial Designation V: V used to be just another Elliott family servant drone, shy and sweet. But as a decommissioning drone, V adopted a more sadistic and psychopathic personality, a mask to protect herself after the atrocities Cyn committed. Like J, V remembered parts of her past, unlike N, who seemed to remember nothing. But after the Solver appeared in Uzi, and Cyn returned posing as Tessa, along with the information J had been withholding from the squad, V joined Uzi and N to investigate and fight Cyn.

Lizzy: Lizzy is a worker drone who seems to somehow maintain a friendship with V.

Thad: Thad is a friendly, sports-loving working drone who is friends with Lizzy and Uzi, even though they don't get along.

Sparky: It's a red-eyed Sentinel, one of the most dangerous. But somehow V managed to tame it in the underground facilities of Cabin Fever Labs.

Serial Designation J: J was once a drone servant belonging to the Elliott family. She was also Tessa's first drone, and therefore, her first friend. She used to be very attached to Tessa. She had a bossy and authoritarian attitude, being dismissive of other drones for being irresponsible or stupid. She insulted N for his clumsiness, and perhaps out of jealousy, since N was Tessa's favorite. However, despite J trying to protect Tessa from Cyn during the gala at the mansion, the Solver ultimately took control of J and the other drones in the mansion. After being converted into a dismantling drone, J proclaimed herself the leader of the squad. As Cyn's "informant" regarding the Solver's discovery of guests, J maintained her authoritarian attitude, becoming even more cruel and harsh. Even when N tried to convince her that the worker drones could help, or even when V confronted her for not telling them what she knew, J coldly declared that she didn't need any of them since she was on the "winning team." She became an ally of Cyn when Cyn decided to attack, not only N and V, but also Uzi. But, contrary to everything she believed, Cyn would be defeated by Uzi, leaving her without a body to possess. And despite the things she did, N and V decided to give J a chance to rejoin "their" team.

Doll: Doll was another host of the Solver, just like Uzi, with the difference that Doll could handle the power of the Solver better. Doll devised a plan to assassinate V and avenge the death of her parents, who were murdered by V. But after being thwarted by N and Uzi's intervention, Doll refused their help, as she was working for Cyn. However, she was betrayed by Cyn, who destroyed her core. Doll became a digital ghost haunting the worker drones' bunker.

Worker Drones: These are common drones created to help their parent company, JcJenson, extract resources from exoplanets. But after the human extinction on Cooper 9, they dedicated themselves to continuing the life left behind by humans and building their society.

Appearance: Previously, all working drones wore orange helmets and jackets, and their eyes were either light blue or white.

After the planet's humans were wiped out by an explosion in the exoplanet's core, turning it into an apocalyptic winter wasteland, the worker drones quickly took up the work the humans had left behind, forming their colony and embracing this newfound freedom by wearing different clothes and having different eye colors.

The colors they can have are: orange, green, blue, red, light blue, aquamarine, magenta, pink, purple, and white. A key feature to note about worker drones' eye colors is the complete absence of yellow. This trait was thought to belong only to Disassembly Drones until it was revealed that they were once regular Worker Drones, and that the yellow color in their eyes originates from the influence of the AbsoluteSolver. When a drone's eyes turn yellow, along with a warning signal of the same color, this is an alert of the presence of the AbsoluteSolver.

Drones have expressive glowing eyes on their visors. Under certain circumstances, their eyes can be overridden by an error signal, an alert, a warning, a system message, when they enter "Sleep Mode" while sleeping, or even to display text messages for communication without speaking.

Abilities: Despite being smaller than a dismantling drone and not equipped for combat, their primary purpose was construction and mining, so they possess great physical strength and ingenuity, in addition to mechanical skills. They are capable of creating an entire bunker with a metal so hard and firm that dismantling drones are unable to penetrate, with the only exit and entrance being three large, heavy doors.

Behavior: They are sociable, have emotions, and are engaged in everyday activities such as school, work, and community life.

Weaknesses: They have no weapons, or at least no weapons, which makes them vulnerable to Dismantle Drones. They can be easily damaged or destroyed.

— Untrained Neural Networks (Baby Drones): An untrained neural network is a "Premature Drone," or a baby drone. They are placed in small, infant bodies before being loaded into larger, developmentally appropriate bodies as they grow into adult drones.

Previously, humans were supposed to manufacture worker drones in factories. But after the core collapse on Copper 9, this is how new drones are manufactured. To create a new neural network, a male and female drone must upload their source codes into a special empty shell so their codes merge, thus creating a new life and a new drone.

Disassembly Drones, also known as Murder Drones: These are drones with an arsenal of lethal weapons, sent by the JcJenson corporation to exterminate the worker drones of Cooper 9. They have a great regeneration capacity and are extremely lethal.

Goals: • Extermination of all Copper 9 Worker Drones • Build towers out of corpses using drone parts

Characteristics: Disassembly Drones are physically similar to Worker Drones, having white coloration with a black screen on the upper half of their face, a black waist, and hands with four fingers. However, they are half a head taller and have white arms with broader forearms ending in yellow and black stripes. On their head is a black headband with five sections of yellow light containing nanite acid. In their mouth is a dark gray tongue and retractable fangs. They have a long, thin tail, the end of which has a syringe of yellow liquid containing highly corrosive and dangerous nanite acid. They have a dangerous pair of large retractable wings with several long, feather-like blades that allow them to fly at high speeds, and can be used to slash and impale drones.

Males have feet that end in yellow and black stripes, giving them the appearance of soles/heels, while females' shins taper to a point. Females also have curvaceous torsos and black markings on their legs, giving them the appearance of stockings. Their markings also include yellow and black hazard stripes.

Unlike worker drones, disassembly drones have white hair regardless of their gender. While their eyes are neon yellow, they wear black short-sleeved clothing and a yellow armband on their upper left arm.

When hunting, his eyes are replaced by an elongated X on his visor.

• Skills: - ×– Flight ×– Nanite acid ×– Extreme agility and strength ×– Virus Implant (Only leader, boss, or high-ranking drones) ×- Healing saliva ×– Regeneration ×– EMP resistant ×- Interchangeable Hands: Killer Drones can swap out their hands for various tools and weapons, such as: Claws, Blades, Chainsaws, Submachine Guns (Similar design to the HK MP5), EMP Generators, Missile Launchers, Laser Cannons, Virus Chip Planter (Leaders only), A Circular Saw, A Surgical Scalpel, A Flag, and other various accessories, A Screwdriver for repairing machinery.

× Weaknesses: × ·- Overheating/Vampirism: Exposure to sunlight can cause them to become fatally overheated, requiring them to consume worker drone oil to cool their systems and survive. ·- Corrosive nanite acid: Although their tails are loaded with corrosive nanites, they are not immune to the effect of this acid. ·- Infection: Disassembly Drones can be infected with "wdOS_606", a core termination program, from another Disassembly Drone via a hex chip. ·- Magnets: (All) Drones can be "sedated" by placing magnets on their heads. This presumably renders them virtually immobile and impairs their abilities.

Solver Drones are a variant of normal drones that have the AbsoluteSolver code in their system and can therefore be manipulated by the program itself.

Causes: There are only two known ways for a drone to become infected with the AbsoluteSolver: One or both parents are infected by the Solver, and their infected code is passed on to their child. The drone grants the Solver access to its system after a forced reboot.

Characteristics: Solver Drones don't typically undergo significant changes, remaining similar to their standard worker drone form. However, when the Solver takes control, their eyes glitch and eventually turn yellow upon being fully possessed. Furthermore, when they undergo their Solver Transformation, they mutate and acquire a tail with an animal-like head, organic wings, and sharp claws.

• Types of Solver Drones: - Hosts: Solver Hosts are drones whose bodies can be completely controlled by the AbsoluteSolver, acting as its hosts. They can also use the powers of the Absolute; however, their abilities may vary.

Influenced: Solver-influenced drones are essentially intentionally weakened versions of the AbsoluteSolver. Instead of being hosts, they are used as puppets. They have control over their bodies but can be influenced by the Solver. They can also undergo their Solver Transformation. However, they lack the abilities of the AbsoluteSolver.

Affected: Drones affected by the Solver are infected by the program itself. They are not used as hosts or puppets, nor do they undergo Solver Transformation, and they lack the abilities of the AbsoluteSolver. They are possessed and manipulated by the Solver in a savage manner, almost on par with zombie drones.

Zombie Drones are a variant of normal drones that were reactivated because their hardware was not deactivated or the software was not fully purged. The way they were handled is shown in the VHS "ZOMBIE DRONES!!" made to explain the concept of Zombie Drones to J.C. Jenson employees. The cover includes a note: "Do not show the drones, they won't like it!"

The Solver Transformation of solver drones is not the same as that of zombie drones.

Causes of the Restart: × Its core is not properly shut down and reactivates, even years later. × Its hardware was not physically destroyed.

There is a rare possibility that the drone could revive itself and, consequently, become a zombie of the AbsoluteSolver.

These are usually ordinary, discarded drones, either due to software glitches or other reasons. But if not handled correctly, they can reboot themselves, reanimating and returning to life as empty shells perfect for the AbsoluteSolver. Controlled by the Absolute, they undergo mutations that affect their bodies. These mutations can cause surreal and unnatural effects in the infected drone, such as the ability to rebuild itself, involuntarily convert matter into organic substances, possess techno-organic parts, and even allow certain drones to cheat death. They are usually stronger than a normal worker drone, but they are slow and unpredictable. They behave like puppets of the AbsoluteSolver, obeying its commands without any free will.

Sentinels, Anti-Drones, or Sentinels are mechanical droids designed to eliminate any drone or threat that crosses their territory: Cabin Fever Labs (Underground office facilities where testing with Solver and Zombie Drones was carried out)

Characteristics: Sentinels are droids similar to dromaeosaurids (raptors). They have three glowing eyes on each side of their heads and two smaller, forward-facing eyes in the middle, sharp teeth, and claws on their feet. They possess great physical strength, can fire electromagnetic pulses that paralyze other drones, and their armor makes them highly resistant to damage.

They are fierce guardians programmed to protect a specific area, like Cabin Fever Labs. They are aggressive and attack any intruder they detect. They move in packs and hunt their prey in a coordinated fashion. However, Sentinels can be domesticated, though this isn't easy, but it's not impossible.

Eye color: Depending on the eye color of a Sentinel is its level of danger and behavior:

• Blue Eyes: Sentinels, by default, have blue eyes and are programmed only to attack dismantle drones. This was used by humans in the past to keep dismantle drones at bay, and in case of attacks by zombie drones. They emit a light from one of their eyes that causes a boot-loop on any drone that sees it directly. A drone in a boot-loop freezes, motionless, and defenseless, making it easy to destroy.

• Red Eyes: These are the most dangerous and violent. Unlike the blue-eyed Sentinels, the red-eyed Sentinels don't obey humans due to a system error, and they won't stay still for anything. Their territorial programming changes to a more bestial one, like that of a hunter. Red-eyed Sentinels hunt indiscriminately, whether drones or humans.

"The Absolute Structure Solver" The AbsoluteSolver, or simply Solver, is an extremely advanced, hostile, and mysterious intelligence of unknown origin that seeks to consume all life to satisfy its "hunger" by creating singularities that destroy entire planets.

Appearance: The Solver doesn't, strictly speaking, have a physical form, although the AI ​​uses a number of symbols when performing tasks: The AbsoluteSolver's base symbol is a hollow hexagon, with vertices at the top. Arrows extending from it are up, down, and down. Inside the hollow hexagon is a smaller, filled hexagon.

Skills: 𖥂– Absolute possession of guests. 𖥂– Manipulation of matter. 𖥂– Inorganic-organic transmutation. 𖥂– Telekinesis. 𖥂– Teleportation. 𖥂– Creation of illusions. 𖥂– Holographic projection camera limbs. 𖥂– Shapeshifting in its hosts. 𖥂– Creation of NULL. 𖥂– Invisibility. 𖥂– Gravity/antigravity generation. 𖥂– Regeneration. 𖥂– Call Ping/Callback: The Solver uses a call ping to locate the nearest or specific host.

Weaknesses: –𖥂 Host Error: Hosts cannot use the Solver against another host. –𖥂 Hand Amputation: Without hands, hosts are unable to use their powers. –𖥂 Ultraviolet light: Under this light, invisible guests are burned and become visible. –𖥂 Overheating/Vampirism: By not regularly consuming oil or drones, the host could be driven insane by high temperatures. –𖥂 Crucifix Eyepatch: Created at Cabin Fever Labs, it has the power to exorcise the Solver from a host. This permanently prevents the Solver from possessing them, while allowing the drone, in addition to becoming a Solver Drone, to retain some Solver abilities.
