Nori Doorman (Drone Core)

Biography

While still shrouded in mystery, Nori was a worker at Camp 98.7 when it was still active, involved in some as-of-yet unidentified research project, presumably about experimenting with Solver-infected Drones. She bore the ID Tag #002. Her Solver infection reached a critical point where she killed most of the scientists working in Cabin Fever Labs, but Yeva managed to install the Crucifix Patch in her just in time. However, it is implied that having the patch thrown directly at her face/being possessed by the Solver whilst having the patch administered caused her mind to be scrambled. After this ordeal, Nori and Yeva escaped Cabin Fever Labs, which Alice took as them abandoning everyone else. After the core collapse that turned Copper 9 into an apocalyptic wasteland, Nori and Khan left the Camp to join the Worker Drone colony. Nori began a peaceful life with Khan and their daughter Uzi before she slowly became delusional due to her mind scrambling, seeing visions of Disassembly Drones, which she referred to as “sky demons” and nightmares of dangerous "singularities". She also tried to warn other drones about the coming dangers. She also told Khan to build doors to shelter themselves from the Disassembly Drones. Her prophecies would be proven correct shortly after: Disassembly Drones were deployed to Copper 9 to begin their slaughter. Nori was stung by one of their acid tails, leading to Khan supposedly euthanizing her with a wrench to put her out of her misery.

Biography part 2

It was revealed in "Mass Destruction" that Nori was still alive but in the form of her heart (also worth noting that it seemed her mind returned to normal after her body's death). She let her husband and daughter believe she was dead so she could investigate Cabin Fever Labs. One day, she found a Disassembly Drone named N being chased by the AbsoluteSolver, questioning why Cyn was after her own drone. After finding out he knew Uzi, she explained everything that happened in the labs. When they were leaving, Nori was hesitant to tell Uzi she was alive due to holding herself responsible for everything bad that's happened in her life. Nori assisted N in the fight against a Solver-possessed Uzi, who immediately got confused when they saw Nori as they thought she was dead. The Solver was about to eat Nori before N told her that N and Uzi were romantically linked. This enraged Nori and made her angrily state "Uzi Doorman, those things killed your frickin' MOTHER!" and slapped her. This caused Uzi to snap out of the Solver's control and angrily fling Nori into the pit, not knowing that the heart was her mother and leaving her whereabouts and fate unknown.

Personality

From what Khan had mentioned, it seemed she was very popular among her friends, unlike her daughter who receives inhumane and abusive treatment from those around her (formerly including her own father). Furthermore, it implies she is relatively easy-going with those around her as photos of her during her time in Cabin Fever Labs show that she didn't seem too concerned with possessing the AbsoluteSolver despite the potential risks of harboring it. This disregard for the AbsoluteSolver's potential risks resulted in her being fully possessed by it. Her husband described her as 'kooky and insane' due to her drawings of her prophecies, which were considered nothing more than crazy ramblings at the time about the Disassembly Drones and singularities. This could imply that Uzi's erratic and unusual behavior is attributed to some of her mother's. Nori is very caring and motherly when it comes to Uzi, as she becomes hesitant when N suggests they tell Uzi that she is alive, only for Nori to refuse as she holds herself responsible for every horror in her life. She also gets enraged when she learns that Uzi and N are romantically linked. Likewise, despite working with N, Nori has a more hostile approach towards him due to his role as a Disassembly Drone and is not hesitant to use force on him.

Who is Nori

She is the wife of Khan Doorman, the mother of Uzi Doorman, and is the second known host of the AbsoluteSolver. As a result of being intentionally infected by the human scientists of Copper 9 who wished to study the eldritch program, Nori's code became infected and thus caused her mutations to pass down to Uzi when she conceived her with Khan. Prior to the beginning of the series, she was supposedly euthanized by her husband after sustaining a fatal Nanite Acid injury from an unknown Disassembly Drone. However, it was revealed in "Mass Destruction" that she survived by having her core detached from her body and continued to work in the depths of Copper 9, where she sought the Crucifix Patch and intended to bring it back to the surface with her to find Khan and use it to expel the possession of the "ungodly eldritch genetics" that she passed to Uzi with her inherited code. Unfortunately, after taking over Uzi completely, the patch was destroyed by Cyn as she tried to deal with N to prevent further intervention but failed due to Nori revealing to Cyn that she was still alive and, despite a very close call, succeeded in expelling Cyn from her daughter by slapping her in anger upon realizing she and the thing that almost killed her were "kinda hanging out", causing Uzi to become angry as she claimed to Nori (not realizing she was her mother) that she didn't own her and proceeded to drop kick her into the chasm leading to the core of Copper 9

Core Appearance

Hearts are mostly composed of a flesh-like organic substance, draped around the mechanical core of the drone. Hearts have three spider-like, fleshy blades similar to the fingers of Disassembly Drones for legs, and a single glowing eye that matches the drone's eye color, as well as eight other cylindrical lights

Function (Solver-Infected Worker Drones)

Hearts contain both the drone's consciousness, and in the case of Disassembly Drones and Solver-infected drones, the computer string for the AbsoluteSolver. So long as their core remains functional, it's possible for a Worker Drone's heart to survive autonomously outside of their body. One example of this is Nori, who has been living in her Heart form for many years after her daughter's birth. Doll managed to survive for a short time after her being fatally wounded by Cyn, before the Zombie Drone proceeded to devour Doll's heart completely to ensure she wouldn't be a threat to her plan anymore.

Disassembly Drones cores

Disassembly Drones' hearts are used to reconstruct their body when they take fatal damage. If a Disassembly Drone is fatally wounded, the dormant AbsoluteSolver awakens inside their code and begins to reconstruct the Disassembly Drone's body by piling metal and organic matter onto the Disassembly Drone's heart, resulting in a crudely constructed mass of flesh and metal with the Disassembly Drone's consciousness. The only Disassembly Drone seen to be reconstructed in this way so far is Serial Designation J, who was revived as Eldritch J.

What is a heart in murder drones

A Heart is a mechanical component present inside certain Worker Drones and Disassembly Drones that stores its consciousness. In Disassembly Drones as well as AbsoluteSolver-infected Worker Drones, the Heart is used to store the AbsoluteSolver's code and revive the drone if it is fatally wounded. Unlike regular Worker Drones, the Hearts of Disassembly Drones and Solver-infected Drones are covered with a flesh-like substance, and can move around on their own outside of the body using three leg-like appendages. Nori and Doll are the only Solver-afflicted drones whose Hearts have been shown during the show. During the events of "Mass Destruction", it was revealed that during Nori's "euthanization" at her husband's hands, Nori's heart had managed to escape her body and had hidden in depths of Copper 9, where her disembodied heart had continued her search for the Crucifix Patch. As for Doll, her Heart was devoured by Cyn (who was wearing Tessa's skin) who ambushed and murdered Doll to ensure that she couldn't revive.

AbsoluteSovler

The Solver of the Absolute Fabric, often shortened to AbsoluteSolver or just Solver, is the main antagonist of Murder Drones. It is an incredibly advanced monstrous code and supernatural artificial intelligence that mutates in damaged forms of lesser AI, especially Worker Drones constructed by JCJenson. Originally, the Solver manifested in and possessed the improperly disposed of Cyn, eventually recovered by Tessa to reside at Elliott Manor. However, it allowed its hazardous effects to spread among various Workers at the mansion, corrupting their programming to help the Solver massacre an entire gala held there. After destroying the entire Earth with a massive [null] singularity, the Solver (through Cyn) built Disassembly Drones and deployed them to various exoplanets to perform its bidding unknowingly, including creating spires of dead lifeforms and infiltrating Cabin Fever Labs. On Copper 9, scientists brought the Solver's programming into various test subjects, such as Nori and Yeva, to study and develop a cure for it, only for the AI to possess Nori and soon cause the collapse of Copper 9's core, executing all organic life on the planet. Nori and Yeva, still infected by the mutations, had then passed on their infected programming to their respective offspring, Uzi and Doll. While Doll was able to utilize her Solver powers to her advantage (though it ended up breaking her right eye), Uzi's affliction grew uncontrollable at times, slowly allowing the AI to fully possess her. It is revealed in "Mass Destruction" that after it killed Tessa years ago, it grafted her skin onto Cyn's body, masquerading as her to get into Cabin Fever Labs and destroy Copper 9.

The abilites of AbsoluteSolver

Telekinesis: Demonstrated with users like Doll and vessels such as Cyn, Nori, and Uzi, it can be used to move things without directly touching them, as well as doing this when in control of a host. Teleportation: Its known hosts, whilst being used, are shown being able to. Illusion Creation: Whenever using its powers, AbsoluteSolver conjures yellow lines of code. It is unknown if this is controllable or not. Shapeshifting: While Uzi and V were under the control of AbsoluteSolver, Uzi grew a biotail and wings, while V grew distinct claws and wings. Drone Control: AbsoluteSolver is shown to be able to control drones, as shown with Cyn during her appearances across the series, V when she tried to attack Tessa, J, Uzi, and N in the past, and the drones of Elliott Manor to begin the extinction of the human race on Earth. Black Hole Creation: While possessing Uzi and Cyn, it's created miniature black holes capable of expanding and stretching. Invisibility: Nori and Cyn have, under the control of the Solver, been able to make their biomechanical claws invisible. Regeneration: Its hosts have been shown the ability to regenerate (with notable speed when being used as a vessel). Handiness: The AbsoluteSolver appears to have demonstrated an aptitude for masterful maneuvering with its various kinds of limbs (tentacles, claws, hands) while operating its hosts.
