In the silent depths of Copper 9, six battered and malfunctioning cores, having recently attained individuality, managed to escape their confines due to large tremors and distortions of gravity. Once under the command of their powerful creator, the Absolute Solver - they were one of the first teams of Disassembly Drones that were sent to infiltrate Copper 9's Cabin Fever Labs but were unable to achieve their mission as they had been confined for years by a crazed Worker Drone that guarded its abandoned halls. Now, stripped of their sleek bipedal forms as they are unable to self-repair and left as little more than cores with spidery appendages, they were bound by a singular purpose: to locate their creator.

This is an AU of AxisRogue's Murder Drones AU, MD: Integration. The concept of the god keys is from integration, and most credits go to Axis. All of the characters are OC's not from integration, and some of them are from my discord friends' own AU's. The only writers are me and MM5500, MM being the one to post an Ao3 version with some extra lore in it, hehe.

SD-C, SD-A, SD-R, SD-X and SD-K are Dissassembly drones sent to Platinum-4, one of the 10 exoplanets rich in Neuronite, to massacre worker drones. However, C feels something that a Dissassembly drone shouldn't feel.....guilt. C wished he didn't have to kill the workers, and that's exactly what he ends up doing. He stops killing the workers, unless it's absolutely necessary. One day, a spaceship crashes onto Platinum-4, and C meets a girl known as Nuzi. Nuzi wasn't normal though. She had half worker drone limbs and half Dissassembly limbs, along with a nanite tail and headband. But there was something about Nuzi that seemed familiar. Why did she seem so familiar to C? Who was she? Note to reader: This story will contain violence, gore, some brainrot (but not alot), some cringe, angst and romance. This story started out as just simple drawings I started showing to my childhood friend, then one day he decided we should should just turn it into a story. First 3 parts belong to my childhood friend, the rest is written by me. My writing probably isn't the best, this is my first time writing a story, so I apologize in advance. I hope you'll enjoy Veiled Secrets!

SD-C, SD-O, and SD-Z arrive on Copper 9, tasked with wiping out the worker drones. And that's exactly what they do, until, during a raid, O makes a choice that alters their lives forever... Now outcasts, O and C fight to survive while hiding from Z. Along the way, they meet new friends and enemies, and discover their true identities and purpose, experiencing joy and grief alike... (Note to the reader: some of the lore in this AU may seem wacky and even a little cringe at first, but as per the title, I, along with a few friends of mine, intended this AU to push the limits of the Murder Drones storyline to the fullest extent possible. I tried my best to give realistic explanations for everything that happens. My friends gave me prompts for lore and I wove them into the story as seamlessly as I could. Also, I would like to mention that there are mentions of abortion, domestic abuse and toxic relationships. Please enjoy this in a safe and healthy way. Oh, and in this AU JC Jenson, along with Earth, still exists. They're the ones who sent the Disassembly drones. We started writing this before we realized earth had been destroyed because MD lore is 𝙎𝙊 confusing 😭... And as for the cover image, yes that's cannon to this AU and there is an explanation I swear! And no, that's not an SD-U design... Sorry.)
