Murder Drones: The Artificial Enigma

The Artificial Enigma takes place on Copper-9, after the core collapse and all the humans are dead. It mainly focuses on Disassembly Drones and The Absolute Solver! Basically my OCs.

It follows the main character, Serial Designation Delta, who used to live at Cabin Fever Labs before the core collapse. Once the humans died out, her and her squad escaped and just like in the canon show, became the predators for the Worker Drones. Delta's squad is made out of four Disassembly Drones, including herself. Serial Designation Blade (she is the squad leader), Serial Designation Ray, and Serial Designation S! They have to navigate through their choices, their loyalty, their survival, and the lingering presence of the Solver. It dives into the dynamic of the characters, what they've faced, what they fear, and what else they'll see.

And more characters appear, so don't worry ;)

After a find at Camp 98.7, found by our main character, Delta, and her leader, Blade, they decided to pay a visit to their dear old home, Cabin Fever Labs. Why? To hunt Solver-Drones of course! See, Blade has a BIG grudge against the Solver. Since, a Solver-Drone tore her apart 3 years ago and nearly killed her, leaving her with cracks/permanent damage on her body.

But they realize the Solver isn't striking them physically. It's also striking them mentally. Basically psychological warfare. The Artificial Enigma isn't just claws and oil and destroying from the outside.

It's about the fear of not knowing what the person next to you is thinking.
The fear that hesitation could cost someone's life.
The fear that maybe you should be careful with your words.

Trust under pressure. Choices under pressure. And a question I always love to add: If the Solver understands them better than they understand each other...who is really in control?

(This is my first ever story that I have actually decided to finish and take seriously.)
