•TEACHER (MD)•

Appearance

He is a Worker Drone with neon orange eyes, wearing a green hardhat with a pair of round glasses. His attire consists of a green diagonally striped vest with a black undersuit with a matching tie.

Camp outfit

For his camp outfit, he wears a straw hat and a sky-blue colored jacket with a floral pattern over his vest, despite the freezing conditions of Copper 9.

Body

When first created by JCJenson to mine resources from exoplanets before Copper 9's explosion, all Worker Drones wore hard hats and orange jackets, with their only eye color being light blue. Following the core explosion of exoplanet Copper 9, all humans on the planet were wiped out, turning it into a winter-apocalyptic wasteland. Seizing this opportunity, the Worker Drones quickly picked up where the humans had left off, formed their colony, and embraced this newfound freedom by wearing human-like clothing and having different eye colors. Known colors they can have are red, orange, green, blue, cyan, aqua, magenta, pink, purple, and white. When a Worker Drone feels fear, shock or other intense emotion, their eyes become hollow, with a black circle overlaying the normally fully-colored eyes. A key trait to notice about the Worker Drones' eye colors is the total absence of yellow. This trait was thought to belong solely to the Disassembly Drones until it was revealed that they were once Worker Drones themselves and that their yellow eye color originates from the Zombie Drone, Cyn. After 'banishing' herself from the colony, Uzi sadistically rants about how she wants to kill all humans on Earth in retribution for sending the Disassembly Drones to kill them all. While doing so, her right eye turns yellow while her left eye turns into a yellow hazard symbol hinting at the presence of the Absolute Solver.

visor messages

Drones have two bright eyes on their visor that emotes. Under some circumstances, their eyes can be overridden by an error, status warning, or system message: Absolute Solver symbol replacing one eye or covering entire visor: Caused by the Absolute Solver awakening within the drone or being utilized. The Solver's glyph covering the entire drone's visor is caused when they fully initiate their Solver Form. System messages briefly covering visor: Caused by minor errors experienced by the drone. An example is Uzi's 'EDGE LEVELS CRITICALLY LOW' error. Rampant error messages covering visor: Caused by injecting wdOS_606, a core termination program, into the drone. Warning sign: This is caused by severe damage to the drone's visor like being pierced by a sharp object. It is also found on numerous deceased drones. Uzi also suffers this after being hit by J's EMP. HIGH TEMP: Accompanied by a warning sign. Self-explanatory, usually appears on Absolute Solver hosts. FATAL ERROR: This occurs when a drone dies, usually by external causes like severe hardware damage. X shape replacing both eyes: Used to signify that a drone has died. Elongated 'X' on visor: Either caused when a faulty OS string is present or when an Absolute Solver host becomes violent and/or starts to transform into their Solver Form. Flashing ERROR 606 message: Accompanied by an elongated 'X'. This is caused by the removal of one or more core OS strings. Drones with this error are non-sentient, unresponsive, and immobile. Buffering symbol: Caused by being boot-looped by Sentinels. Like ERROR 606, drones with this error are non-sentient, unresponsive, and immobile. Text: Can be generated at will to communicate without speaking. It is also used to display when a drone is in SLEEP MODE.

variants

Zombie Drones In the case of any Worker Drone that has been rebooted, either by a human or on its own, runs the risk of becoming what is referred to by the company as a Zombie Drone as shown in a JCJenson VHS training tape discovered by N in Cabin Fever and shown in Home. The video warns against the act of improperly disposing of a Worker Drone marked for disassembly due to the possibility that a drone may reboot without changes (70.3%), carry 'terminal lockout' (29%), or revive with 'potentially hazardous mutations' (0.7%), which can lead to human fatalities or injury. High federal fines may be incurred on the handler's behalf. N, V and J were Worker Drones that rebooted normally (as they had armbands indicating that they were marked for disassembly and were found by Tessa in a landfill), whereas Cyn was a Worker Drone that rebooted by herself with dangerous mutations, seemingly revived by the Absolute Solver, resulting in her becoming a full-fledged Zombie Drone.

Untrained Nural Networks

An Untrained Neural Network is a premature Worker Drone that is put in infantile pods before being uploaded to a properly functional drone body. After the core collapse on Copper 9, this is noted to be the first stages of Worker manufacturing as, before, they were assumed to be made in factories by humans. For a new neural network to be born, a male and female Worker Drone must both upload 50% of their source codes into an empty shell for their codes to fuse, creating the new personality. However, if either of the parent's code is infected with mutations, those mutations will pass onto their child.

personality

Unlike the vast majority of Worker Drones who are typically seen as cowards in life-or-death situations, he surprisingly is one of the few Worker Drones to manifest an apathetic mindset regardless of any circumstances. This is supported by how he treats his responsibility as a teacher where he often plays solitaire rather than engage with his students and disregards the multitude of Uzi's outbursts during class where he shows an amount of insouciance rather than annoyance with how she acts. Even when the rest of the class becomes concerned with their safety, he chooses to care less about anyone's well-being which is further expressed by his lack of concern after organizing a trip to Camp 98.7 where he doesn't mind the Disassembly Drones killing off his students; after the trip ended when he noticed that some of them were missing, he nonchalantly accepted V's attempt to take the blame for the missing campers despite Uzi (under Absolute Solver's influence) being the one responsible for them going missing, not caring about what happened to them (even though the latter expressed remorse and disgust towards her actions).

PILOT

He first appears when Uzi gives her presentation on her railgun. While she shows it off, scaring the other students, he displays complete uninterest and instead points out that the homework was a word problem on buying watermelons. She asks if her magnetically amplified photon converger doesn't count, and he replies with a blunt "no", adding that repressed emotional baggage was only worth two points in the rubric. He then asks if Uzi's railgun is supposed to be red, before it explodes in the classroom.

Heartbeat

When Khan Doorman attends the parent-teacher conference without Uzi, the teacher tells him that she's been absent. Khan brushes it off, stating that she grounded herself. When he's about to tell Khan of Uzi's behavior, Khan assumes that she's precocious, popular with her peers, and has a supernatural understanding of doors, to which the teacher responds with disappointment before telling that she's the complete opposite of Khan's vision of her, while also going on to state further that she may have damaged programming. Khan, surprised, questions if Uzi's behavior was of his doing, and soon snaps at the teacher for thinking that her programming is damaged, pointing out that she's bored in his class and that her classmates suck. He also threatens to install a door on the teacher's face, to which the teacher is completely unfazed, as he's playing solitaire in his visors.

The Promening

Some time before prom, Khan asks the teacher to help Uzi find a date for the prom, which resulted in them asking Lizzy and Doll to help. Later, he attends the prom, albeit without changing his attire. Thad breakdances to show off to him, though he merely displays indifference as he drinks from his flask, hinting he might abuse the Drone equivalent to get through situations like this. When V crashes the prom, he decides he had enough and leaves the gym.

Cabin Fever

In between the prom and current events, Uzi asks if she can go to Camp 98.7 by herself. Unfortunately, the class failed a test some days before, so the teacher uses this as an excuse to punish the students for failing the test. He leaves the class under the supervision of N and V, who are camp counselors, going to the rooftop of a cabin to relax. After the field trip, he asks V about the students who have gone missing, and V lies by saying that she ate all of them since she was hungry. Uncaring, the teacher tells V to calm down, as he was just asking a question.

Absolute End

At the beginning of the episode, the Teacher is seen grading Uzi's paper. He looks at everything in his classroom float and then fall back down with no response or reaction. He then goes outside only to see the planet's exposed core. One of the solvers tentacles that came from the core slap him in the face and the Teacher again doesn't respond. Several scenes later, the Teacher climbs up to take a peak of what Khan is doing, and then climbs back down. Then, at Uzi's class presentation, the Teacher is seen hitting his head against his own desk.
