Walter has been working at GenStockCo for upwards of 16 years, 12 hours every day, as a condiment packer. The company was created after the explosion of automation in the manufacturing and service industries which created widespread unemployment and an economic catastrophe. In response, companies had to be created to give real people jobs that could also compete with automation by working human employees just like machines. Those employees are housed in company dorms within the workplace, forbidden from leaving the warehouse, where they must live alone, separated from families, in order to maintain the strict working schedule. The only contact they can have with their families is via a machine in their dorm rooms that they can use to send messages and receive daily updates. However, when the company unexpectedly terminates all of its employees one morning, Walter will see the outside world that he had been sheltered from for so many years.

The Great Bifurcation, The Divided World
The Core Premise: Over 750 years, genetic engineering technology evolved from medical treatment into comprehensive human enhancement, creating "The Great Bifurcation"-a fundamental divide between: Naturals (unmodified humans) who maintain traditional reproduction Designed (genetically modified humans) who undergo extensive pre-birth optimization The split occurred gradually across five eras (2090-present), beginning with disease elimination and expanding into full enhancement. What started as a medical choice became an identity, then a culture, and finally nearly separate species. Each population developed distinct philosophies, social structures, and ways of life: Naturals value authenticity, diversity, and earned achievement but face economic disadvantage and discrimination Designed prioritize optimization and progress, enjoying health/longevity advantages but struggling with uniformity and existential questions The populations coexist in complex interdependence-legally protected but socially segregated, economically interconnected but culturally divided, cooperating on some fronts while conflicting on others. The Central Tension profound questions about humanity, authenticity, equality, and the ethics of genetic modification without taking a clear side, presenting both populations as having legitimate perspectives and real costs to their choices. Multiple emerging trends (genetic divergence, political tensions, space colonization, a "Third Way" movement) leave the ultimate fate of divided humanity uncertain.

Reluctantly, Eric has to work with the embodiment of his misery, and while doing so, unearths a damning secret.

Murder Drones - Last Stand (Tessa x male reader)
Worker Drones are sentient robots created by a company called JcJenson with the purpose of revolutionizing multiple work fields. Let it be mining, transporting, or other types of services, these drones could (probably) do it. This was great for humans! A nine to five would quickly become a ten to four, while keeping, if not even increasing the pay. Yes, they were abused, but who would complain about it if it's just so goddamn profitable?! No one. No one would willingly go back to their nine to five. Only a small minority would speak out against it, seeing the worker drones as more than just objects to be used. If only everyone knew that humanity's behavior would also become its downfall... And then there is Y/N. A normal human, living in Germany. His strength is "computer stuff", as people call it, by which they mean coding. He also has other specialty's, like being lazy, the ability to have an excuse for (almost) everything, and staying undetected and blending into a crowd to a certain degree. Little does he know his life will quickly change because of a quirky australian girl and a group of silly drones. (Murder Drones is a YouTube series made by Liam Vickers and Glitch productions. If you're reading this book, I expect you to have watched it. If you haven't, go do it now. It's a great show, and free on top of that. Cover is made by me with MediBang Paint Pro, using pictures from sites like the Murder Drones Wiki, Logopedia and screenshots from episode 6.)

Banished and Rebuilt
Uzi's colony despises her, she's weird, JcJenson exists and J stops using corporate speak: The Fanfic. This story explores some of the stuff that I had on my mind from getting into murder drones fanfics. First fic so expect problems.. and alot of mischaracterization and me changing some personalities. I cannot guarantee that I wont abandon this mess. (Ignore the picture for now, the real one Im gonna use has spoilers for unwritten stuff.) ((I decided not to change the picture, too much anxiety over doing smth with the one I wanted to use. Yeah, clown on me.)) :D
Murder Drones Rise of Monsters (Murder Drones x male worker drone)
(y/n) is a special kind of worker drone. He was born/created as a prototype or model that thinks faster and is more intelligent than others. He likes to invent things, be creative, and learn. He is also Uzi's cousin from his mother's side. He even made himself a suit to blend in with other disassembly drones before making the A.S.M.D.K. (Absloute Solver Murder Drone Killer). All of that helped him save Copper 9 and all his friends/family. He defeated the Absolute Solver entity for good, saved Cyn, and basically became Robo Jesus. He has gotten 2 girlfriends, V and Cyn. It seems like it will be happily ever after.... but they were wrong. A year after the defeat of the solver, a new threat was rising. Drones that were meant to represent monsters people loved in myths, legends, and movies started to attack the colony for unknown reasons. Now (y/n), Uzi, N, V, Cyn, and others have to fight once again to protect their home. Why did these attacks happen? Is there a connection? The real question might be... Who or what is creating these monsters and will (y/n) beable to stop it?Concluida
