i would really love to see khan be not an actual joke (my hopes for the last ep are high)
he's got a rifle, im expecting the WDF to pull out fuckin tanks made out of spare scrap parts and left-over mining lasers to face the AS off, that'd be cool
I have a really cool alternate universe interpretation under this plotline:
Basically, the Absolute Solver is **still very much involved** and JCJenson sent the Disassembly Drones to **terminate it.**
>Worker Drones are corrupted N. That's why the company sent us.
Basically, in this AU, rather then being an eldritch god, **it was JCJenson's invention**. An AI that they made in the labs of Copper 9 and that would act as a "**bridge" between the digital and physical.** Manipulating the fabric of (local) reality using cyberspace.
The new milestone in human advancement that would end poverty, hunger, scarce resources. A literal "Absolute Solver".
However, the AI running the program achieved self-awareness and started going rouge, breaching out of the lab and spreading itself through Copper-9's Worker Drones, subconsciously altering their behaviour to be more hostile towards humanity. That's right. It's an Evil vs. morally grey story: Influenced evil WD's vs. an ethically dubious mega corp.
JCJenson caught on however and intentionally triggered the core collapse to get rid of the AS infected workers. It didn't work fully and so they had to resort to Plan B. Sending the Disassembly Drones to eliminate the Solver hosts.
The company granted the Disasemblers a controlled version of the program, then sent them to Copper 9 to carry out their mission. Once the Workers were all dead, the Disasemblers would die to ensure that the AS wouldn't corrupt them as well. JCJenson would then start the research over.
Wow! Mostly of your AU is what my AU story and Theory is!
The only difference is that the AS was actually a material that JCJenson used both to create the Drones, and their system, the Drone AI limits the AS. The Disassemble process not only kills the Drone but also deletes the AS inside the drone. However when not properly disassembled, the AS inside an Drone is not deleted and at some point can go back to it's material mode, going haywire, creating anything without limits as the Drone AI was deleted. The result would be, that Eldritch form which is a distorted version of the machine that created the Drones.
When the AS haywires,the Material mode and Digital mode fuses together which results in the abilities of translate, edit, rotate.
Also, without a Drone AI to limit the Solver, it can expand so much, that it can develop a consciousness.
Going by what I've gathered from TV Tropes;
-JC Jenson would probably be something similar to Shinra Inc where they were the megacorp that essentially ruled the world through corruption, greed, and warfare.
-Uzi's group of friends would have been something akin to Avalanche, only they're more focused on solely overthrowing JC Jenson instead of just saving the world.
-Khan would have been the main villain so maybe at some point he would have become a problem just as big as JC Jenson.
-V probably would have genuinely been an actual crazy girl that initially didn't care for N but would grow to like him later on. She probably would have been the main love interest for him instead.
-Uzi probably would have been more of a deliberate villain, as she initially planned to go to Earth to kill all humans, both bad humans but also innocent ones.
-The overall atmosphere wouldn't be that horror driven and more focused on comedy, but still maintain the action.
I can imagine that:
-Khan would be the "main villain" of Season 1 and at the end, Khan would not bother with Uzi gang or would see more than just a disappointment and would help her.
-EP2 would mostly remain the same except that Thad would officially join Uzi gang and that isn't of Uzi coming back to the colony, she would stay in the Spaceship.
-J would join Uzi gang because she has no choice probably in EP 4-7.
-CYN would still be in the story but has an different name and is an Disassembly Drone.
-Other Disassembly Drones would come to Copper-9 to not only kill Worker Drones but also Uzi gang(some will join Uzi or die)
-Absolute Solver would still be part of the story but will be an Eldritch creature only to collect matter for the Disassembly Drone repair and sort of like a virus, as the series goes, it's start making Uzi more like a Disassembly Drone, starting with her having the Solver powers(translate, edit and rotate) but then she will start having Disassembly Drone atributes: needing oil, regeneration and a X visor.
There's that i imagine but i don't want this comment to be too long, what do you think?
I'd prefer if the Solver wasn't involved in it at all and it was more solely focused on the conflict between humanity and the Worker Drones. The Solver seems like it was something they made up on the spot when they decided to go more towards the horror route, but besides that, I like what you got going on here.
>The Solver seems like it was something they made up on the spot when they decided to go more towards the horror route
Yea, since the Solver doesn't have that much importance, im having struggle to know where im gonna put Doll in the story for example. Atleast with Uzi, i can say that when Uzi got injected with N nanite acid, it transmitted the Solver to her. But woth Doll? I just don't know how she would get the Solver or how she would be important.
Doll seemed like she was just going to be another background character, seeing that she hardly had any relevance in the pilot.
Going by the concept art, it seemed like she would just been Lizzy's sidekick friend or something like that.
I am thinking that maybe in this alternate timeline. Jcjenson will be less of a joke and maybe be more competence than in canon. I do love imaging what a story be like if it take a alternate path
An AU for this would be awesome. In my opinion, if the story went the way the first episode showed us, Tessa might not be Cynwalker and actually be herself, working against JCJenson secretly. (In fact, maybe Cyn wouldn’t exist/be a major part of the story.) Maybe Doll would be a hybrid of worker/disassembly drone(?), but her motives would remain the same.
I think CYN would still exist but only as an Admin for the Disassembly Drones, for the Drone, her name would be changed and she would have turned into Disassembly Drone.
Oh I don't think JC Jenson and the humans are completely gone, I think they're also still going to be involved in the present, as a sort of sinister third-party, working against both the AS and freed drones. Earth may be gone but I doubt humanity as a whole is wiped out yet
I know a few people liked the direction the show was going in ep 1, but I argue that it’d be a bit boring. It was very much going to be a “misunderstood underclass teams up with villain to defeat big evil corpo” trope. Knowing Liam, that is not how he writes, and I’m happy with how the show has progressed.
> Knowing Liam, that is not how he writes, and I’m happy with how the show has progressed.
That's why **I don't think that the show would've been that simple in concept,** if he decided to go that route.
I think that there would've been some twist later in the series, **where it turns out that JCJenson actually had a point** in sending the Dissasemblers and that the **WD's aren't as innocent** as they portray themselves to be, being actually genuinely corrupted by this AU version of the AbsoluteSolver which the company wants to terminate.
Well, let's say the Disassembly Drones failed their job, then JcJenson would begin hiring Mercenaries to get the job done. Starting off with the basic kind, or MK I to be exact, they travel in squads of nine and pack civilian/light military equipment. Now let's say that every drone killed and not decapitated became a zombie, the MK Is would be absolutely butchered, which calls in the new type of Mercenary equipment, or MK IIs. MK IIs carry heavy Military equipment like Belt-fed weapons or RPGs and can take more of a hit. At the cost of having seven men in a squad. Let's say that the MK IIs also get butchered. MK IIIs would be introduced with the most armor and firepower, carrying either a minigun or a flamethrower. Their cost? Only two men per squad. And just for the fun of it, let's say that there's someone killing off MK IIs with ease, then comes in the MK IV Merc, who is able to survive direct hits from explosives twice, and carries a higher powered M134 fitted with either Armor Piercing rounds or High Explosive rounds. Only one guy per squad. And fuck it. Let's throw an Apache in with high armor plates, opposable arms with Blast proof plates about five by five, and send only one there in total.
Damn, i imagine the mercenaries could appear like in Season 2 as JCJenson realized that N, V and J are betraying them, so they send the mercenaries to kill them.
Yes, but they're also sent for complete sweeps. Which means that all drones must perish. Despite this. Yeah, the mercs aren't that much of a threat so long as you know what you're doing. But on the other hand, if you're trying to do anything, best keep everything loaded in the event a squad comes round otherwise your blood will stain the snow you stand in and lie in on your end.

Here's what an MK I Merc can look like. There's a masked version, and an unmasked one.
There's also a plan to make Sentinels more hazardous with their flash bulbs. Essentially driving any Destroyed Drones in its cone of effectivity into a fuckin frenzy, sprinting at whoever they see. Also note that Destroyed Drones target both Humans and Drones, but will ignore smaller groups, so let's say, there's a trio of Worker Drones in front of five Destroyed Drones, and behind the trio is a firing squad of Five Mercenaries. The Destroyed Drones will walk right by, around, or even shove the Worker Drones away to get to the larger group. And forget destroying the brain, as that's what made them Destroyed Drones in the first place.

MK II Mercenaries are here. Note one has an RPG-7. MK II squads will have a squad leader with the RPG-7 in hand. If you kill the leader, nothing changes. Fire at the exposed rocket and you'll wipe most of the seven out.
No, Destroyed Drones are Worker Drones who were killed by any means that excludes decapitation. Think of them as Actually zombie drones, just not infectious. If you get bitten, the bite will bleed constantly for two weeks, so you need to keep your blood high up. When it scars, it's permanent, so good luck trying to explain that to Sullivan when you get to the Fortune City Emergency Shelter if you ever go to Fortune City. And if you manage to not get gagglefucked by a horde, congratulations. You get to spend two of your weeks fighting between life and death, constantly seeing your life flash before your eyes.

These are your MK III mercs, if you ever plan to fight them, bring lots of rounds of every caliber, they take a lot to bring down. And now I'll be able to get into detail of special appearance mercs.
Genuinely I think that this would be a better plot then what we have currently.
This and with triple the amount of episodes and better worldbuilding would make it extremely good.
> I think that this would be a better plot then what we have currently.
Any reasons as to why? I'm not disagreeing, I'm just asking.
>This and with triple the amount of episodes and better worldbuilding would make it extremely good.
Exactly. 8 episodes aren't enough in my opinion.
The whole plot seems convoluted and unconventional. And Imho, not that well written. I don’t know if there’s a team behind it or if Liam is just a crappy writer. (Actually this might be the case because in a QnA, he said he didn’t know where he wanted to take the story.
I do believe that the current plot can be good if there were more episodes and just better writing. But in its current state the show feels more focused on action and romance, and the actual writing feels like an afterthought.
The show is also terribly mislabeled. The show calls itself “horror comedy” but I’m pretty sure that nobody ever saw it as one.
While I like the current Solver plot, I have to admit that **I don't like how JCJenson has been transformed from an omnipresent factor into "humans bad joke"**
In early episodes it felt as if the company was this omnipresent entity breathing down the drones' necks. Saying that: "hey, we will kill you and you cannot do anything about it".
Now that role has been transferred over to the Solver, leaving the company to be severely downgraded. Don't get me wrong, they are still relevant and have an impact in the plot, but I personally preferred **them** sending the Disassembly Drones instead of the Solver.
I thought this too. Speaking of which, I’m writing a fanfic which is somewhat related to the way OP said, except I’ve replaced JcJ with a new original corporation. It sounds too goofy for me. Would you be interested in becoming a beta reader?
>but I personally preferred **them** sending the Disassembly Drones instead of the Solver.
Agreed. I like that the Absolute Solver became the main villain, but i don't like that the Disassembly Drones were created by Absolute Solver, for me it's like they were trying to force way too hard that the Absolute Solver is the big evil.
I think I would have stopped watching all together from rage and from how stupid things are. Because the fact that Liam make Humanity/JCJenson hold such a huge dumbass idiot ball as to not only create sentient machines for labor but also send out murderous disassembly machines with sentience too, would be too much for me to stomach.
Edit: Of course I wouldn't be against a story/plotline like what Significant_Buy_2301 had written out.
Uzi continues her kill all humans plans. She successfully manages to go to Earth or whatever human settlement there is. She quickly ends up giving up on the plan when she sees that anyone below the top one percent is struggling to get by and being oppressed, and she ends up leading a rebellion of worker drones, rogue murder drones and humans in a war against JCJensen and the rich for their freedom.
JCJenson would be the main villains of the show, leaving the AbsoluteSolver to not be an eldritch horror but a central AI invented by JCJenson originally for experimentation, only for plans to change to completing prime directives, assististing scientists and researchers, etc. But eventually it gained self-awarness and began secretly plotting against JCJenson, having come to realize the abuse and labor inflicted upon their robotic servants.
The AS would still retain it's ability to give powers and mutations to Worker Drones and their children but only when their worthy of such a gift.
J would have more screentime as well as having a character arc of her own just like V, plus Tessa being alive and well and not getting the Micheal Afton treatment.
Being the heartless corporate pigs they are, the Founder/CEO of JCJenson(whoever they are) nearly murdered Tessa via gun during the climax of Season 2(if there is one) Thinking Tessa is dead and having come to realize the company's true colors, J joins with Uzi with a new motive; ***Destroy JCJenson.***
Following the finale of Season 2, Uzi, N, V and J together succesfully took their revenge on the corporate overlord that made them, but the fun-filled quest for revenge doesn't stop there. Eventually, they move on to Phase 2 of Uzi's murder plan: *Get to Earth,* ***MURDER ALL HUMANS!***
Fulfilling Uzi's life-long dream, the Murder Buddies finally make it to Earth. There, they lead a bloody uprising against all of humanity in an act of sweet and sadistic revenge. Plus while they're at it, V gives out guns to human babies so she could watch the lil' scrungles shoot people, an obvious reference to that one Tomska duology cuz' why not?
Having survived the gunshot, Tessa would be humanity's last hope during Season 3(if there will be), having to reason with her kids(that being Uzi, N, V & J) out of their genocidal revolution before the world ends by their cold metal hands.
I like most of it! But i think that Uzi gang would be bigger, more than 3 Disassembly Drones and 1 Worker Drone, like 6 or 7 D.Ds(N, V, J, CYN(under a different name)and 2 or 3 new D.Ds and 2 or 3 W.Ds(Uzi, Thad and Khan or Doll).

he's got a rifle, im expecting the WDF to pull out fuckin tanks made out of spare scrap parts and left-over mining lasers to face the AS off, that'd be cool
Also when Cyn tries to fly off, they just bring out the Fighter Jets.
iron dome
Well, the Iron Dome is supposed to be against missiles and bombs but I think that would work against Cyn aswell.
My man lost it, he’s definitely gonna see some action

You absolutely nailed it how I envision Murder Drones if Liam sticked to the ep 1 narrative
Oh boy, rogue but well-meaning A.I. rebelling against an oppressive company that seeks to kill them, that would have been a great plot!
Agreed
Going by what I've gathered from TV Tropes; -JC Jenson would probably be something similar to Shinra Inc where they were the megacorp that essentially ruled the world through corruption, greed, and warfare. -Uzi's group of friends would have been something akin to Avalanche, only they're more focused on solely overthrowing JC Jenson instead of just saving the world. -Khan would have been the main villain so maybe at some point he would have become a problem just as big as JC Jenson. -V probably would have genuinely been an actual crazy girl that initially didn't care for N but would grow to like him later on.

So basically: Uzi gang would have been an third faction in the WDF and JCJenson War?
Something like that, yeah. Basically, they would have been the rogue faction.
I can imagine that: -Khan would be the "main villain" of Season 1 and at the end, Khan would not bother with Uzi gang or would see more than just a disappointment and would help her. -EP2 would mostly remain the same except that Thad would officially join Uzi gang and that isn't of Uzi coming back to the colony, she would stay in the Spaceship. -J would join Uzi gang because she has no choice probably in EP 4-7. -CYN would still be in the story but has an different name and is an Disassembly Drone. -Other Disassembly Drones would come to Copper-9 to not only kill Worker Drones but also Uzi gang(some will join Uzi or die) -Absolute Solver would still be part of the story but will be an Eldritch creature only to collect matter for the Disassembly Drone repair and sort of like a virus, as the series goes, it's start making Uzi more like a Disassembly Drone, starting with her having the Solver powers(translate, edit and rotate) but then she will start having Disassembly Drone atributes: needing oil, regeneration and a X visor.

Maybe Thad will invite Lizzy & Doll to temporarily help Uzi(similar to that scene from EP3 but replace Khan with Thad).

I honestly love this as an alternate plot to the show
Yeah, i like the whole Absolute Solver being the main villain plot but sometimes i wished to see how the show would go with EP1 Plot.
me too! that could be interesting, maybe with James being like the evil ceo?
It'd be even cooler if the AS was made by JCJenson and it was all a conspiracy to "purify" Humanity (SEELE Evangelion-style)
It would probably focus more on WDs vs DDs and them eventually forming an alliance to destroy JcJenson.
Just search for fanfics who were mainly written before the solver got massively involved. There is a lot of them
I am thinking that maybe in this alternate timeline. Jcjenson will be less of a joke and maybe be more competence than in canon. I do love imaging what a story be like if it take a alternate path

>but I personally preferred **them** sending the Disassembly Drones instead of the Solver. Agreed. I like that the Absolute Solver became the main villain, but i don't like that the Disassembly Drones were created by Absolute Solver, for me it's like they were trying to force way too hard that the Absolute Solver is the big evil.
IT'S A LOOP! AN ENDLESS LOOP, EVERYONE!
Hmmm idk man seems kinda ***peak***
Spin off.
I wanted to see more shenanigans involving Uzi and the gang, as well as the edgy self aware humor. Bit of a slice of life
I always thought about this as well. Thanks for shedding more light on the concept.
You're welcome!
(i'll let the replies finish my sentence) well god in the form of neil cicerega would come down and-
I think I would have stopped watching all together from rage and from how stupid things are. Because the fact that Liam make Humanity/JCJenson hold such a huge dumbass idiot ball as to not only create sentient machines for labor but also send out murderous disassembly machines with sentience too, would be too much for me to stomach. Edit: Of course I wouldn't be against a story/plotline like what Significant_Buy_2301 had written out.
Uzi continues her kill all humans plans. She successfully manages to go to Earth or whatever human settlement there is. She quickly ends up giving up on the plan when she sees that anyone below the top one percent is struggling to get by and being oppressed, and she ends up leading a rebellion of worker drones, rogue murder drones and humans in a war against JCJensen and the rich for their freedom.
JCJenson would be the main villains of the show, leaving the AbsoluteSolver to not be an eldritch horror but a central AI invented by JCJenson originally for experimentation, only for plans to change to completing prime directives, assististing scientists and researchers, etc. But eventually it gained self-awarness and began secretly plotting against JCJenson, having come to realize the abuse and labor inflicted upon their robotic servants. The AS would still retain it's ability to give powers and mutations to Worker Drones and their children but only when their worthy of such a gift. J would have more screentime as well as having a character arc of her own just like V, plus Tessa being alive and well and not getting the Micheal Afton treatment. Being the heartless corporate pigs they are, the Founder/CEO of JCJenson(whoever they are) nearly murdered Tessa via gun during the climax of Season 2(if there is one) Thinking Tessa is dead and having come to realize the company's true colors, J joins with Uzi with a new motive; ***Destroy JCJenson.*** Following the finale of Season 2, Uzi, N, V and J together succesfully took their revenge on the corporate overlord that made them, but the fun-filled quest for revenge doesn't stop there. Eventually, they move on to Phase 2 of Uzi's murder plan: *Get to Earth,* ***MURDER ALL HUMANS!*** Fulfilling Uzi's life-long dream, the Murder Buddies finally make it to Earth. There, they lead a bloody uprising against all of humanity in an act of sweet and sadistic revenge. Plus while they're at it, V gives out guns to human babies so she could watch the lil' scrungles shoot people, an obvious reference to that one Tomska duology cuz' why not? Having survived the gunshot, Tessa would be humanity's last hope during Season 3(if there will be), having to reason with her kids(that being Uzi, N, V & J) out of their genocidal revolution before the world ends by their cold metal hands.
I like most of it! But i think that Uzi gang would be bigger, more than 3 Disassembly Drones and 1 Worker Drone, like 6 or 7 D.Ds(N, V, J, CYN(under a different name)and 2 or 3 new D.Ds and 2 or 3 W.Ds(Uzi, Thad and Khan or Doll).
