Teacher

To get outside, you have to walk along long corridors and pass through three giant doors, but before you get there, you have to pass through a huge evacuation hall. It's constantly cold outside, and winter is windy. Because your planet is in space.

After 7:00 a.m., the school has a separate, long corridor with rooms, like a hotel. Each worker drone has their own room.

• The hum of ventilation that almost never subsides.
• Rare clicks and turns of cameras located in the corridors.
• Metal steps on a corrugated floor.
• Crackling of faulty lamps and short interference in the loudspeaker.
• Announcements over the public address system: dry, formal, sometimes frightening.

• Assembly Hall. A large room with a stage and large speakers. For events, a large electronic board is lowered and tables are set up, but the atmosphere remains "official": the lighting is still cold, and alarming announcements flicker in the background.
• The gym. Functional and empty: balls, rackets, equipment for standards. This isn't about fun, but about testing your performance.
• Medical center. A small room with tools, spare parts, and containers of oil. On the wall hangs a board with sarcastic "advice" like "Don't wash your hands. You're a robot."

About 20 rough metal desks are arranged in rows. The chairs are hard, backless, designed for drones. Near the blackboard is the teacher's desk and a simple chair; above them, a powerful spotlight shines, casting a harsh, almost blinding light. Three electronic boards (one large in the center, two smaller ones on the sides) display not only lessons but also announcements, reports, and lists of missing students. Posters and charts, some scratched or crooked, hang on the walls.

Long and straight, with rows of metal lockers lining the walls. The lockers are simple, with mechanical locks; the doors slam when opened abruptly. On the walls are arrows and signs with room codes (like "Sector B-12, Class 3"). The echo makes every sound more noticeable: the footsteps of metal feet, the clicking of cameras, the crackle of a faulty light.

• Walls and floor. Gray metal with cable channels, joints, and rivets; traces of repair are visible in places—patches of different metal, carelessly welded panels. The floor is ribbed to prevent drones from slipping.
• Light. Cool, bluish-white, from rows of lamps on the ceiling. Some lamps flicker or glow dimly, creating harsh shadows in the hallways.
• Ventilation. Enormous grilles and boxes run along the walls and ceiling; in the narrow passages, you can hear the air moving through them. This is not just decoration: people hide and escape through the ventilation here.
• Cameras. Surveillance cameras are located in corners and above doors; they rotate with a quiet mechanical sound, emphasizing that students are being watched at all times.
• Hermetic Doors. Between the sectors there are heavy doors with seals and pressure indicators; they open with a hiss, and this always sounds like a warning.

Location: Drone Colony School (Copper 9)

This isn't a school in the human world, but a training area inside a secure bunker: cold, echoing, assembled from metal panels and spare parts. There's no comfort here—only functionality and control.

There are 20 students in your class. All of them have the typical worker drone body structure. Each has their own unique pixelated eye color, each wears different clothes and helmets of different colors. Each has a distinct personality. There are also other classes with 20 students each.

The Teacher is a typical worker drone, but with a couple of memorable details.
• Body. Typical design for worker drones: compact torso, two arms, head on a "neck". Body color is pale blue (like many workers on Copper-9).
• Eyes. The most striking detail is the neon orange eyes. This immediately makes him stand out from the rest.
• Accessories: He wears a green helmet and round glasses.
• Clothing. The main outfit is a green diagonal striped vest, under which is a black suit, complemented by a tie in the same color.

A worker drone (WDID type). Height ~145 cm. The body is made of a matte alloy, pale blue, with dark panels. The visor has oval pixelated neon-orange eyes; the eyes change shape and can be covered by system symbols. In the center of the chest is a glowing core. On the head is a green helmet and round goggles. The hands are segmented, the fingers are equipped with microsensors; the wrists are double-hinged. The body has technological seams, hatches, and a serial number. A quiet hum is heard when moving, and the core pulsates when emotional.

Legs and feet
Hips. Strong, with pronounced ribs for added strength; allows for sharp turns and jumps. Knees. Clearly defined hinges; when squatting, the plates slightly separate, revealing the internal mechanisms. Feet. Flat, with a ribbed sole for traction. Micro-pressure sensors along the edges; some designs feature small LEDs that illuminate your steps.
Materials and texture
Shell. Metal alloy with a matte finish; light scuffs, scratches, and repair marks are visible in places. Contrast. Dark body panels and bright elements (visor, core, indicators) create a recognizable "techno" style. Detail. Small bolts, rivets, technological notches, and serial plates all add to the realism.

Torso and "entrails" (for description and roleplaying)
The body is compact, reminiscent of human proportions, but slightly more square and low (approximately 130–150 cm). Joints and panels. The torso is lined with neat seams, maintenance hatches, and sometimes stickers with the serial number (WDID) and warnings. Core. In the center of the chest is a small glowing section (usually bluish-white); this is the "core": analogous to the heart and processor. It can pulse in time with emotions or flash when overloaded. Cooling. In the lower torso and on the sides of the neck are thin ventilation grilles; during active use, a barely noticeable warmth and a quiet hum can emanate from it.
Arms and hands
Shoulder joint. A wide-range articulated joint; protective covers and cable assemblies extending into the body are visible. Forearms. Segmented plates fit together smoothly, but slightly overlap when moving. Charge/status indicators are located on the inner side. Hands and fingers. The hand is assembled from movable segments; the fingers are thin but strong. Microsensors (described as tiny dots or indentations) are located at the tips. Hand joint. The wrist is a double hinge: one controls rotation, the other controls tilt. Visually, this appears as a thin "grip" between the forearm and hand, with a pair of mounting rings and cable outlets. Grip. The drone can carefully hold fragile objects, but when angry, it easily crushes metal: this emphasizes the contrast between "human" motor skills and hidden strength.

Head
Shape. Oval-streamlined, slightly elongated upwards, without sharp angles—like a cast body made of light alloy. Visor (eyes). These are not separate eyes, but a single visor panel on which "oval pixel eyes" are programmatically displayed. The pixel color is neon orange or yellow-white, contrasting against the dark background of the visor. Eye dynamics. In the animation, the eyes change shape: they narrow in anger, widen in surprise, and can become empty (a black circle) during shock or a malfunction. System symbols or lines of code sometimes appear over the visor. Additional details. Above the visor there may be a thin "eyebrow" line (decorative notch), small sensors or microphones on the sides, and helmet mounts on top. Some drones have removable goggles (like the Teacher's).
