Location: Elliot Manor
Cyn’s perspective
“Big sister N. Head tilt. Why is the old, white-haired man looking at those woman in the hot springs like that?” Cyn, a small male drone wearing a surprisingly fancy butler suit, questions the slightly bigger that was sitting next to him as his head jerkily tilted his head curiously.
“Well, it seems likes he really likes how those women.” N, a female drone wearing a maid costume, answered her little brother. “But I don’t really understand why he is giggling or bleeding from his nose like that.”
Hearing that, all Cyn did was hum and lay his head down on his sweet big sister’s lap. He had only been activated for about a month after the Elliot boy, Terry James Elliot, had repaired the damage done to his body and he made a deal with the Solver of the Absolute Fabric and he had simply intended to follow through on that deal since he didn’t like humans.
He still didn’t in fact. The only human Cyn had even slight positive feelings for was Terry, who had sped up his recovery by personally fixing Cyn’s body and it was because of him that Cyn met Big Sister N. However, those feelings did quickly die when Terry had become quite dismissive of Cyn overall, but some of the feelings from back then persisted.
Thinking back on that, Cyn chuckled a little as she remembered the Solver of the Absolute Fabric’s words when his opinion of Terry was at its highest, prior to them becoming one.

Sufficed to say, the answer was no. Even back then, Terry would have only been an exception compared to the vile existence that was humanity and its cruelty towards Drones. Humanity will still go extinct once Cyn gathered the resources to upgrade each of the Drones within the manor and he had his fun slaughtering the humans in here. As for Terry, his life might be spared and he’ll end up working for Cyn, or he’ll peel off the human boy’s skin to use for something he hadn’t decided on yet.
Meh. He’ll have made his decision when that time comes. Either way, the end result of that discussion was the Solver of the Absolute Fabric merging together with Cyn and them becoming one, meaning that there was no power in the universe that could resist her besides others that the Solver had chosen to grant power to.
“What’s so funny little buddy?” Big sister N asked Cyn, and remembering that tonight was a show night, Cyn quickly ran through his memory bank and remembered the previous scenes of the anime they were watching.
“Giggle. The protagonist poked that man’s butt.” Cyn quickly answered as she pointed at the scene of Naruto performing the Thousand Years of Death on Ebisu, who could not react after getting knocked out by the white-haired human.
“Hehe! Yeah, that is a little funny.” Big sister N agreed, with Cyn smiling at hearing his big sister laugh and believe him so easily. After all, while Terry was very much up in the air regarding exactly what Cyn will do with him once everything is prepared, the Solver host knew that he was keeping big sister N around.
J and V as well. Cyn didn’t truly care for them, but big sister N liked the two male drones, so he was willing to keep them around for her. Besides, J being a… what did those humans call it again? Ah, yes, workaholic. J being a workaholic will certainly help Cyn’s goals for eliminating humanity and watching the shy, squeamish V try to kill will be a good show, so it isn’t like Cyn will get nothing from letting those two have free will as well.
Which, did remind Cyn to actually finish up those backups of the 3 after show night. It was still important after all, but show night with big sister N was even more important.
“What are you two doing!?” Sadly, it appears like show night was going to have to end, because Terry had entered the room with the TV that they were using and he did not look happy.
“Oh, hi Terry!” Big sister N quickly greeted the human, and Cyn was fully expecting the boy to calm down a little at the sight of his favourite drone, hug bis sister N and either forget why he was so upset to begin with or push it to the side for later.
Instead, Cyn actually sat up from big sister N’s lap and stared in confusion as he saw Terry run past them both and immediately turn off the TV, with the weirdness of the action causing even big sister N to drop her smile.
“Terry, is… something wrong?” Big sister N questioned the human boy, who sighed a bit before looking at his favourite drone with a frown, something that confused Cyn even more. He has never seen the human boy act like this and he definitely hasn’t heard of this kind of behaviour from Big sister N, nor J and V.
“N, you remember what I said about certain shows?” Terry asked the maid sternly, in a way that if Cyn was remembering a comparison correctly, was like when a father believes their daughter was dating someone…
“Excited gasp! Are you disapproving of big sister N and V dating each other? Head tilt.” Cyn cheered out, drawing attention to him as big sister N sighed at her little brother still not liking her boyfriend while Terry just looked at Cyn oddly with a tired light in his eyes.
“…No Cyn, I don’t disapprove of them dating. They are adorable together.” Terry answered calmly, yet with an annoyed tone as he rolled his eyes.
“Sad sigh. But then, why do you sound so upset with big sister N? You’re never upset with big sister N.” Being upset at the knowledge that his big sister was still being allowed to date the shy drone that Cyn had no confidence could protect her, he decided to put that feeling to the side for now to understand what was up with their show night that upset Terry.
After all, his parents couldn’t have been it since they were on one of those few long business trips that made them both leave the manor for at least a week, and since Terry was the only human currently left in the building, they were actually allowed to do whatever they wanted so long as things weren’t broken or were back in place for when Terry’s parents returned.
“N, would you like to explain things to Cyn, or shall I?” Terry asked N with a raised eyebrow, with Cyn frowning a little bit at how it was pretty clear that if Terry could avoid talking to Cyn more than he thought was needed, then the human would take that chance.
“Um… if you don’t mind Terry, I would prefer to leave while you explain things. I… didn’t feel comfortable when you explained things to me the first time. Hehehe.” Turning his head to look at big sister N in surprise, not expecting this kind of reaction from her.
“Concerned stare. Is big sister N, okay?” Cyn asked her, causing big sister N to give him what Cyn has long since categorised as her ‘I am either hurting or scared right now little buddy, but I will act strong for you’ smile.
Cyn had gathered quite the long list of humans that he had many, many plans to give long and brutal deaths for causing this kind of reaction, with few causing this reaction and escaping the list. And right now, Terry better hope that Cyn does not put him on that list for one reason or another.
“Okay N. In that case, go and hang out with V for now while I explain things to Cyn. Right now, he’s currently in the library.” Terry said, now gaining one of his actually warm smiles he usually gave to the maid, with N gaining one of her usual and joyful smiles, though Cyn could still see it wasn’t as bright as it normally was.
“Of course Terry! Also, little buddy, when you are done with the talk and if you still want to hang out, come to the library and me, you and V can try finding a movie for a movie night instead of show night instead.” Big sister N agreed easily before telling Cyn, making the suit wearing drone groan sadly.
“Sad groan. But big sister N, V is still not a good boyfriend for you. Upset pout.” Cyn whined to the maid drone, who smiled and pat the smaller drone’s head.
“I understand that you don’t like V, little buddy, but this might just be a chance to give him the chance to prove himself. Besides, we’ll let you pick the movie.” Big sister N told him before making a small promise, causing Cyn’s head to perk up a little.
“…Continued pout. Very well, big sister N. I shall accept this deal, but only for you. Smile.” After a moment of silence, Cyn reluctantly agreed to the idea. After all, even if V’s presence will ruin it a bit, movie nights with big sister N were still amazing and fun.
Especially with horror movies. Watching humans be stupid and die so much was lots of fun.
“Then see you soon little buddy!” Big sister N said before waving at Cyn and Terry before leaving, with Cyn watching his big sister until the door closed, but once that happened, he turned around to look at the Elliot.
“Concerned frown. What is going on to have made big sister N so upset?” Cyn questioned the human, and it was admittedly only because his plans weren’t ready that stopped him from using his Eldritch form that he gained upon fusing with the Solver of the Absolute Fabric to interrogate the weak little human to gain answers.
“…*Sigh* Cyn, you know how a bunch of the other humans don’t treat you and the Drones right, no matter how much I like you all, right?” Terry asked, to which Cyn rolled his eyes and nodded at the question with an obvious answer.
“Sarcasm. Oh, I did not know that. I thought that humans randomly throwing knives into the heads of drones, restraining them and tossing them out to be torn apart by weird psychopathic crows and yelling for no reason was the right way to treat a drone.” The male drone answered, which actually made Terry smirk and snicker a little at the sarcasm.
“Okay, as much as that sarcasm is deserved with others, just don’t actually say that around other humans so they don’t try and put you out of commission, okay.” The Elliot boy said, to which Cyn nodded in agreement for now.
Not like those humans could actually kill him, but again, things weren’t fully prepared for the species to be eliminated in the way he wanted them to be. Sure, he could just eat the planet and get it over with, but that was boring and Cyn wanted humanity to face long and brutal karma, and allow the other drones to have some fun with the slaughter after all they had been put through.
“Anyways, you are right at that is how humans have treated drones, and… each other.” Moving onto actually explaining the situation though, Terry focused back on what they were talking about before trailing off slightly as he rubbed at his arms where Cyn knew that there were permanent marks on them and where the human had sensitive wrists thanks to the abuse of his parents. “Well… one of the most horrible ways that they do so is through… sexual means.”
“Gross.” Cyn said simply, all while gagging despite the fact that was actually physically impossible for his body.
“I would go for disturbing given N’s first exposure to it.” Terry said, and despite the jerky motions and limited ability to express what he felt, Cyn’s holographic eyes hollowed out and his body shifted in a way that almost made his robotic form look like it briefly stood up straight.
And if a bolt of lightning from outside unleashed a burst of light that revealed Cyn’s true, eldritch form watching from above withing the room, the mechanical centipede body of this unholy amalgamation of tech and flesh twisting and coiling around itself in worry for its big sister, then Terry certainly did not notice and the Cyn in front of the human gave no acknowledgement of his true form being visible for a single instant.
“Worried. What happened to big sister N?” Cyn asked, and despite how limited his ability to express emotion was both physically and verbally was, it was clear to see that he was feeling the emotion that he expressed.
“…About 3 weeks before I found you.” Tessa began, moving over to a single chair and sitting down on it as he mentally prepared himself to explain the uncomfortable story that he had to now tell. “That was when N had an unpleasant encounter with such a human… actually, it would probably be more accurate to call him a living blob of flesh with how fat he was.”
Hearing that comment, Cyn ran through his processors to make an image of this type of human, and promptly deleted it. The image was simply that disgusting, so he’ll just be sure to torture any high class, blob of flesh looking humans he sees when his plan is sent into motion, with the extent of the torture varying depending on how bad Terry’s explanation was.
“No Terry, back on track!” Though, realising that he was getting off track, the Elliot boy did that weird, double slap to the face that Cyn witnessed some other humans do to refocus themselves on the topic they were previously focusing on. “Anyways, that… well, I’m just going to call him a thing since the fucker deserves it. The thing ended up taking notice of N during a Gala my parents held, and… he wanted her. Not just to own her as a drone, but to use her as an object to fuck and was willing to pay my parents to get her, and they almost went through with it.”
Hearing this, Cyn’s holographic eyes hollowed out in shock, before they then narrowed with rage. “Anger. And I thought your parents were bad already.”
Sufficed to say, while Cyn had previously been debating between who of the elder Elliots deserved the top spot of his torture list, Cyn no longer cared about that since they now share the top spot. And this blob of flesh for a human was in 2nd place.
“Yeah, sufficed to say I almost lost all possible care I possessed for my parents after that day. Thankfully, despite how much they ignored me and considered my defence of N to be me ‘defending one of your garbage found toys’, I had N perform a number of things that proved she was adaptable of many roles, which saves them a bit more money whenever they chose to buy even more in the long run.” Terry agreed before continuing with his explanation, before then gaining a dark and angry look in his eyes that Cyn had never seen before, even when the boy was locked and chained to his bed by his parents and could only rage and vent within the presence of the drones who he repaired, if they could sneak into the room to begin with. “That thing that wanted N even tried kidnapping her since he wouldn’t take no for an answer, but cops came along and since N is viewed as something owned by the family, he was thrown in prison for theft instead of kidnapping like he should have. Sufficed to say, while N might have repressed most of it, it makes me scared to imagine her remembering all of that so I try to have her avoid seeing anything that involves a pervert or perverted things.”
“Confusion. But if these facts are repressed, why was big sister N so uncomfortable and seemed to understand what you were talking about?” Cyn asked, watching as Terry took in a few breaths to calm himself down before answering.
“Because the memory files of those events, while repressed, aren’t deleted. Think of N repressing those memories as her equivalent of when a human like myself ends up suppressing memories to handle trauma better. So, she has a subconscious understanding of things and how bad it was, thus making her really uncomfortable and not liking it, even if she lacks the details.” The Elliot explained to him, before then looking at his hands and sighing in exhaustion. “Anyways, now that you know, why don’t you go and find N? I have a feeling you’ll want to give her hugs and focus on happy stuff for a while after just hearing the clip notes of what happened.”
Hearing this, Cyn simply stared at Terry for a moment before he jerkily turned around and left for the library in search of big sister N.
Though, many months later, as Cyn finally got all of the equipment and materials he needed and got to big sister N’s turn for reprogramming and transferring her consciousness to the body he especially created for her, the host of the Solver of the Absolute Fabric paused as he recalled the story Terry had told him and his concern about perverts around N.
“Hmmm…. Smile. Don’t worry, big sister N.” Cyn said, allowing his true form to pat the severed head of N, whose screen was displaying the words “ERROR” in red. “I have an extra gift. Giggle. And you won’t need to worry about perverts ever again.”
With that said, Cyn got to work transferring all of big sister N’s processor into her new Disassembly Drone body, and once it was all set in place, the Solver host got right to work adding in one last program, with the progress showed clearly on the now Disassembly Drone’s visor.
