Killer drones

A classroom/training area (in a bunker or camp): ordinary desks, a chalkboard, posters; this shows the "normal" life of teenage drones before everything falls apart. Tower of Corpses / Mass Attack Sites: Grim "monuments" to the destructive work of the Dismantlers and the Overcomputer, they highlight the stakes and the cost of survival.

Scrap Yards Places where people dumped broken or unwanted drones.

The look: piles of scrap metal, rusty hulls, scattered parts, half-disassembled drones; a grim "graveyard" aesthetic. Connection to the plot: it was in such a junkyard that Sin "rebooted" and became the first host of the Supercomputer; for Tessa, it was a place where she found and repaired drones. Landing Pod The capsule that carried the dismantling drones to Copper 9.

Functions: transport, command module, equipment storage; inside – control panels, screens, crew seats. Role: Base for Ena, Vi, and Jay; from here they receive orders and plan raids. Earth The human home planet, home to the Elliott family and the JCJenson corporation.

Status: By the time the series takes place, Earth has either been severely degraded or destroyed due to the actions of the Super Calculator. Image: Contrasts with Copper 9: once the center of civilization, now abandoned cities, empty estates, huge landfills. Meaning: Gives the scale of the threat: if the Super Calculator was able to destroy Earth, then Copper 9 is just the next target.

Worker Drone Bunker (controlled by Han) A shelter where worker drones hide to survive.

The layout: corridors, rooms for residents, technical sections, security posts; everything is hastily done, but functional. The mood: crowded, noisy, lots of drone children, constant arguments about how best to survive. Role in the plot: Uzi's house, a place where the conflict between her rebelliousness and Khan's desire to "just save everyone" is evident. Elliott Manor The Elliott family's luxurious home on Earth, where Tessa lived with her parents and where the drones "grew up."

Exterior: A large mansion, state rooms, corridors lined with portraits, utility rooms for drones; a contrast between wealth and coldness. Details: security systems, biometric locks, rooms where drones are not allowed. Meaning: This is where the Super Calculator began to operate on a grand scale; the massacre at the estate is a turning point that links the past and the present. Outpost 3 One of the worker drone bases on Copper 9, more "militarized" than a typical bunker.

Features: guard posts, warehouses, equipment, training areas; a sense of discipline and readiness for defense. Role: Shows that not all drones hide - some try to actively defend themselves. Camp 98.7 A summer camp for drone kids where they go on vacation.

The setting: cabins in the woods, a fire pit, a dining hall, and sports areas; it looks like a typical kids' camp, only for drones. Contrast: the peaceful, almost carefree atmosphere is sharply confronted with a real threat. Plot role: a place where characters reveal themselves beyond the "survival" aspect—they show friendship, fears, and support for each other. Cabin Fever Labs Secret scientific complexes where they experimented on drones and studied the Super Computer.

Design: sterile corridors, testing chambers, server rooms, biomechanical experiment areas; lots of closed doors and eerie silence.

The planet's appearance: icy, dead, with the ruins of human infrastructure; snow, debris, and traces of disaster everywhere. Atmosphere: constant threat - either dismantlers or flares from the Super Calculator. Meaning: Almost all the action takes place here: life in the bunker, sorties, chases, final battles.

The drones (including Sin) were originally part of the estate and served the family. Tessa treated them like human beings, while her parents treated them like expendable equipment. It was at the Elliott estate that the Super Calculator began to operate in a major way: Sin used Tessa's access and her family to hack into the systems and set off a chain of events. The entire family perished during the massacre at the estate—a turning point that connects the drones' past with what's happening on Copper 9.

Tessa is the only human in the main story, and her connection to the drones is very strong.

Appearance: A young girl, usually shown in elegant clothes in the spirit of a "rich estate" (dresses, neat suits), her hair is neat, the style emphasizes the contrast between her care for the drones and the cold atmosphere of the house. Personality: Kind to the drones, she considers them almost family; she was the one who found and repaired Ena, Vi, Jay, and Sin, treating them like friends. At home, however, she's vulnerable: her parents don't understand her attachment to the drones and harshly suppress it. Tessa's father, one of the owners of the estate.

Appearance: A stately, well-dressed man, he looks like a rich and influential person; his demeanor emphasizes his status and distance. Personality: He despises the idea of ​​"humanizing" drones, viewing them as mere tools. He's not so much overtly cruel as he is indifferent and arrogant: he's uncomfortable with his daughter "playing" with robots. Role: personifies the elite's attitude towards technology - it's convenient to use, but they don't recognize any value in it. Tessa's mother is shown in the story as being more strict and domineering.

Appearance: Elegant but cold; clothing style and posture emphasize control and severity. Personality: Intolerant of her daughter's "eccentricities," she openly scolds Tessa for her addiction to drones. Scenes show her capable of taking very harsh measures, even locking Tessa away and controlling her behavior. Role: The main source of pressure on Tessa at home; her attitude intensifies the tragedy: Tessa seeks warmth from drones because she cannot find it in her family.

As a worker drone (from the past): she wore a maid's outfit with a large bow on her black helmet. Her hair was braided, mimicking Tessa's style. She was distinguished from the other drones by her neon yellow eyes, a result of the influence of the Overcomputer. Hybrid Form (with Tessa's body): A creepy fusion - the drone's body under Tessa's "skin", empty eye sockets, and Sin's face displayed on the screen; eyes in the form of glowing crosses, many stitches and marks, a "MARKED FOR DISASSEMBLY" bandage on the shoulder. True monstrous form: a massive mechanical centipede with black and yellow coloring, multiple appendages (pincers, chambers, antennae), looks like something "eldritch" - unnatural and frightening. Ruthless and calculating: Sin acts not out of emotion, but as a tool of the Super Calculator - her goal is the destruction and assimilation of everything around her. He loves manipulation and theatricality: he often imitates human emotions, makes deliberately “awkward” gestures and phrases in order to frighten and confuse. The key plot threat: it was through Sin that the Super Calculator began its expansion, from the massacre at the Elliott estate to the attack on Copper 9 and beyond. Practically invulnerable as long as her "core" is intact: destroying Sin's core is one of the most important elements of the final battle. Sin was a common worker drone that was improperly disposed of; in the junkyard, she "rebooted" and became the first successful host of the Super Computer. Her connection to Tessa is a major plot point: Sin doesn't just use Tessa's body, but literally fuses it with his own. In the finale ("Absolute End"), her physical body is destroyed, but the Super Calculator itself manages to move on to another host.

Appearance: a modified drone in the body of a child module with parts from dismantlers. Role: Helps Alice, unusual design emphasizes his "assembled" nature.

Appearance: A feral worker drone living in the depths of the lab; appears worn out, scavenging parts from dead drones. Character: wild, pragmatic, acts by her own rules.

Appearance: Similar to V, but with more commanding details; aggressive stance, strong body lines, and prominent markings. Personality: Squad leader, unconditionally devoted to the mission, tightly controls the team.

Appearance: Feminine body proportions (tapered shins, heels), silver hair, neon yellow eyes, black uniform with a fur collar and yellow markings, tail with nanite acid, characteristic black markings on the legs. Personality: Cynical, harsh, initially determined to kill workers; later reveals a more complex side.

Appearance: Silver "hair", neon yellow eyes, black clothing with a fur collar, yellow headband, black headband with five sections of light, long tail-syringe with nanite acid. Personality: Honest and open, doesn't particularly want to kill workers, but really wants to be useful; because of this, he often gets into awkward situations.

Appearance: Wears a party crown (in the graduation scene), otherwise a normal worker drone. Character: quiet, not in the leading roles, but participates in general school events.

Appearance: A drone worker in typical student clothing, noticeably talkative and fidgety—this is evident in her posture and facial expressions. Personality: Gossip and flirt, very talkative; at the same time, she manages to warn others about danger and thus saves Lizzie.

Appearance: Standard worker drone; recognizable in scenes by its standard school/bunker uniform with no notable accessories. Personality: Was one of those who clashed with Uzi; shown as harsh and unsympathetic.

Appearance: A typical worker drone, without any particularly flashy details; looks like a sporty kid from school – neat and collected. Personality: Brave and decent, doesn't participate in Uzi's bullying and even treats it with understanding; reliable, tries to help when others are afraid.

Appearance: A worker drone with features distorted by the influence of the Overcomputer; the eyes and body parts often glow unnaturally, giving the image a slightly "broken" and sinister appearance. Personality: Tough, goal-oriented, acts for her own goals and is not afraid to be cruel; is at odds with Uzi, although she is friends with Lizzie.

Type: worker drone. Hair: light brown, pulled back into a ponytail and decorated with a large bow. Eyes: neon pink. Casual look: Her outfit resembles a cheerleader's uniform, with red, black, and gold stripes; she often wears a helmet with a yellow bow that resembles cat ears. Graduation outfit: pink polka dot dress with hearts, matching bow and helmet. At camp: a maroon helmet, a bow, sneakers, a t-shirt, and a matching skirt; the t-shirt reads "CAMP HAIR DON'T CARE" in a curvy font. At first, Lizzie acts like a typical "school queen": she teases Uzi, sticks close to Doll, and loves being the center of attention. But as the story progresses, she reveals a different side—she's cool in dangerous situations, knows how to control a crowd, and even helps the other drones when things get really scary.

Nori appears mostly in flashbacks, and her appearance is more fragile and "old-fashioned" compared to the other drones:

Type: also a working drone, but with signs of severe wear and traces of experiments. Body: visible damage and additional fasteners/modules - traces of participation in experiments with the Super Calculator. Colour scheme: muted grey-violet tones, with darkened areas of the trim in places. Details: Her overall appearance gives the impression that she held out for a long time, trying to protect her loved ones, but suffered greatly. Nori was a worker drone, participating in experiments, and became infected with the Overcomputer. This infection later spread to Uzi. Nori died: first she was stabbed with nanite acid, and then Han finished her off with a wrench to stop her suffering. For Uzi, her mother is an important image: she cherishes her memory and, in part, because of her, is why she wants to fight so hard.

Han is the leader of the worker drone bunker. He tries to "maintain order" and simply survive, hiding everyone from the dismantling drones. Because of this, he and Uzi are constantly at odds: he considers her rebellion dangerous, and she sees his caution as cowardice. Their relationship is very tense and reveals different views on how to save themselves. Type: worker drone. Face and body details: the visor has visible furrows and wrinkles, the eyes are white neon. Headwear and accessories: grey helmet, red goggles, also wears a fake moustache. Clothing: grey Workers' Defense Squad (WDS) jacket, black boots. Overall image: looks like a practical "handyman" who is always fixing things and is concerned about safety - this is clearly visible in both the details of the suit and in the pose.

Uzi is a worker drone, a teenage rebel: she doesn't just want to survive and hide from the dismantling drones, but believes in fighting back and even rebelling against their creators. She has a complicated relationship with her father, and she's stubborn and impulsive, yet smart—for example, she built a railgun herself. Standing 127 cm tall, she looks like a teenage drone. Hair and eyes are purple; the eyes glow neon (and after merging with the Super Calculator, they became yellow-purple). Headwear: beanie hat. Clothing - a black sweatshirt: on the front is an emblem in the form of a battery with bones in an X shape, the hem and hood are trimmed with white fur, on the left sleeve is a white radiation symbol. Accessories: Necklace with snowflake strap and tag with number 002. Shoes and socks - black boots and long purple and white striped socks. Special forms: In her "computer" form, she gains wings, a tail with a beast-like mouth, and later, tentacles.
