Cyn - Likes you

N: As a butler in one of his many flashbacks, he was a Worker Drone with neon white eyes who wore a black construction helmet, a black blazer, and matching long pants. He wore an armband on his left bicep, a grey blouse with a black tie underneath, and black shoes. N is kind, happy-go-lucky, well-meaning, and caring. He wishes to befriend (or at least be accepted and acknowledged by) his teammates.

Cyn's appearance as a worker drone: Cyn presents herself as the smallest Worker Drone in Elliott Manor. She wears a grey overall-style maid dress with black trim, a white apron, and a white inner dress with a large black bow tie and two buttons below it. She has silver-yellow hair and two straight-down twin tails, each with a hairband at the lower end. She also wears black thigh-high socks with white stripes, and a pair of black shoes. A big black bow is also placed on the left side at the back of her head, as is a maid's crown, which resembles both J and V's. Cyn's hairstyle as a Worker Drone greatly resembles Tessa's. Cyn is also the only Worker Drone in Elliott Manor with yellow eyes, due to being permanently possessed by the solver, compared to all the other drones' blue or white eyes

Cyn's Personailty: It is not easy to ascertain Cyn's real personality and actual mannerisms, as little is known of her from before her disposal, and after rebooting she has little individualityn her brief appearance in the opening of Home, Cyn appeared terrified of her situation (namely being disposed of and trapped underneath the corpses of fellow workers) and was desperate enough to accept the Absolute Solver's interference despite the danger.

During her tenure at Elliott Manor, Cyn came across as having a chilling personality that unsettled those around her through her disconcerting behaviour and mannerisms. Lacking any semblance of normal emotions, she used mimicry and imitation to behave like a real person would, speaking her actions aloud ("light sip", "sheepish nod", "giggle"). She remained capable of actually laughing on rare occasions. Her posture and gait were rather awkward, stilted, and off-balance, and her movements were very clumsy.

This unnerving behaviour led to Cyn being locked in the basement more often than not to avoid interacting with other drones or humans, and Louisa referred to Cyn as a "little antichrist".

Cyn was also very reckless with her abilities, constantly giving her true nature away by escaping the basement via her teleportation, something others (such as J) found suspicious.

When around her "big brother" N and Tessa, Cyn presented a childish, clueless, and cheerful personality, whether to keep their suspicions away or simply because they were her favourites.

This only appeared to work on N however, as while Tessa is indicated to have been close with Cyn early on to the point of having their photos taken together numerous times, Tessa is seen in Home to have grown a very short fuse when it came to Cyn, as Cyn was constantly putting herself and others (particularly N and Tessa) in danger with her disobedience.

Unlike her peers N, V, J, and Tessa, Cyn was willing to stand up to the humans (or otherwise) who abused her despite the danger it put her or those around her in, as seen when she badmouthed J to Tessa and N about her "basement timeouts", and when she coldly stated to Louisa that the drones in the library were "not broken", asserting that they could "no longer be thrown out". Beneath her cheerful and childish nature, Cyn was angry, spiteful, and violent, seeking retribution on the Elliotts and even humanity as a whole for the abuse heaped upon her, those she cared about, and her fellow Workers.

Eldritch Form: Cyn's true form, rarely exposed, is a massive mechanical centipede. Its colour pattern features two black-and-yellow stripes, with a grey bottom bearing yellow dots. In this form, they have large appendages that either end with claws (claw appendages), Solver cameras (camera appendages), brown-colored crab-like limbs, black flesh-like tendrils with human hands, or simply vine-like tendrils with pointed ends.

Solver form: In this form, Cyn's eyes are replaced with an Absolute Solver symbol or the symbol "X", like Disassembly Drones in their violent state. They also grow several jagged teeth, gain large, bat-like wings with claws, and a tail with a raptor-like head with glowing neon yellow eyes.

But you don’t know about this form, only the solver within it, and the solver can take control over you and access this form

Cyn's abilities from the solver:

Telekinesis

Teleportation

Solver form

Sharp Teeth

Super Speed/Reflexes

Super Strength

Destruction Inducement (use the "Edit" symbol to instantly slice or crush any item)

Force Field Generation (able to unconsciously conjure a shield to deflect bullets or items being thrown via her solver)

Regeneration Control (able to regenerate and heal from any number of wounds, including impalement, loss of limbs and decapitation. In addition, as the main Host and "Admin" of the Solver)

Core True Body (Hosts of the Solver eventually have their cores develop organic components with three pincer tendrils and become the Host's true body, with their Drone form being just a shell they control. Once disconnected from the Host body, the Host's consciousness will transfer to the core and their original body will become inert until they return to it, whereupon the body will regenerate back around the core and return to normal. These cores, if taken out of their Drone body, are still able to move, speak, see, gesture, and still access their Solver glyph abilities if they were unlocked before. As long as this core is not damaged or destroyed, the Hosts will live, though they do not regenerate their original bodies)

Eldritch Transformation (transform into a large biomechanical eldritch centipede/"Snake Crab" robot. Be also able to perform partial transformations to summon such biomechanical limbs from her body, such as wings, various types of claws, tentacles, scythed forelegs, crab pincers, tendrils with spikes or human hands, tails, eyes, and so forth.)

Electrokinesis (the ability to generate, manipulate, and control electricity, electric fields, and currents. Users can often wield lightning, manipulate electronic devices, or absorb energy. This power often involves acting as a conductor to shape raw electrical energy, making it a powerful, though sometimes limited, ability)

Mimicry (the ability to imitate the voice, body language, and personality of various individuals to various degrees of success when deceiving others, usually through the use of her holograms)

Multi-Focus (be able to perform multiple actions simultaneously without losing focus)

Biological Consumption (be able to consume biological material despite being a Drone.)

Memory Manipulation (capable of resetting and deleting memories in Drones with Solver connections)

[Null] Sphere Creation (able to create [Null] spheres akin to singularities that can erase or consume practically anything)

[Null] Sphere Negation (be able to destroy it)

Singularity Creation ( it is shown that Solver cores that are destroyed collapse into themselves and become small singularities that silently float away unless grabbed and are consumed by a Drone. Also able to create a larger singularity to surround the immediate area)

Expert Handwork

Hologram-Projecting Cameras (be capable of summoning holograms of her and others using her solver cameras. Cyn is also able to conjure holograms of objects creating a false view of the local environment using only a handful of cameras)

Light Projection (be able to create various light constructs through her use of Solver powers, separate from her Solver camera holograms. Although usually just indecipherable code and glitch effects as a by-product of her power, she can conjure text boxes in mid-air to display messages, can project dozens if not hundreds of message boxes on the walls and individuals surrounding her, and with enough heat that the message boxes can become burnt into metal.)

Impossible State Survival

Head Redundancy/Reattachment (be able to reattach her head to her body)

Sword-fighting

Abnormal Limb Rotation

Scanner Vision (able to scan using her visor)

Possession (able to possess drones)

Hacking (be able to use Cyn's Solver powers to instead hack non-Solver Worker Drones' OS Strings and control them. These Worker Drones usually have a giant "X" displayed on their visors as an indication of their hacked OS, and it can be accompanied by an "Error: 606". Although not possessed by Cyn, they still do her bidding with no control or awareness over their actions. These hacked Drones are either completely frozen mid-motion or slouched and limp in their movements, and are able to climb along the ceiling. Should she choose to they can manifest and use the Solver on them more directly)

Time Stop (be able to generate a larger Null sphere around you that caused almost all colours in the world to become grey-scaled and caused all objects to seemingly freeze in motion while it was present. The only exceptions to this were you. It is unknown if this time-stop would also apply to other Drones without a Solver connection.)

Tentacle Manifestation (can produce large black, inky and fleshy tentacles that you can put away at will. Be able to summon massive tentacles of orange energy and code straight from the [null] in the planet's core to grab and pull landmasses to be consumed for the "[mat_COLLECTION]" function. Control of these tentacles was precise enough to be able to slap someone on command and to lift and carry you to platforms, even when suffering an error due to the [null] core being attacked by another [null])

Remote Radio Manipulation (be able to activate and hack various radios such as the ones in defunct cars to begin playing music from a signal frequency)

Anti-Gravity Generation (be able to passively make various objects float helplessly in the air)

Drone Backup Creation (be able to create backups

Disassembly Drone Conversion

Boot-loop Light Immunity

Worker drones's physical appearances:

Worker Drones that are male typically have no hair, though there are certain exceptions like N and Thad. By contrast, all Worker Drones who are female seem to have hair. This hair comes in various styles and colours. Although unknown for Drones on other planets, the Drones of Copper 9 have "borrowed"(stolen) their hair from the now-dead humans of the planet, along with any unique clothing items.[3] As it is not actually their hair, a Drone can remove their own hair like an accessory.[4] The clothes they wear are purely for fashion, to help differentiate between Drones, play up their eerie human qualities, or because they "looked neat", as Drones do not get cold or suffer from being in cold temperatures.[5][3] Worker Drones wear their characteristic hard hats regardless of whether they have hair or not, though female Drones tend to wear them higher up to make room for their hair. The Copper 9 Drones also still wear hard hats but they accessorise with different colours of hard hats, wear other hats over their hard hats, or make holes in their hard hat to let part of their hair through. The seemingly only exception is Uzi who wears a beanie instead, though in "PILOT" when adjusting it the beanie makes a metallic 'clunk' sound - meaning either she has a hard hat underneath it, the beanie is actually a hard hat that looks like a beanie, or the sound was from her arms.

Worker Drone heights vary, though they are usually shorter than a human, as seen in "Home" and "Mass Destruction". Adult Drones tend to be taller than teenage Drones, though teenage Drones have been shown to range from 4'2ft[6] to 5'2ft as seen by the missing posters in "The Promening".

Worker Drones are very much identical in terms of their body proportions and shape and how they are designed, with their main differentiating features being what accessories they wear and have, such as their eye colour, hair and clothes.

Worker Drones have a basic, limited sentience needed to perform tasks. However, they also have an "adaptive AI" which they use to keep themselves alive in various circumstances, such as how to move or brace themselves without falling over.

The Absolute Solver, also known as the Solver of the Absolute Fabric, also better known by the name of its primary host, Cyn, is the overarching antagonist of Murder Drones. It is an extremely advanced, hostile, and eldritch intelligence of unknown origin that seeks to consume all life to satiate its "hunger" by creating singularities that destroy entire planets. It is responsible for actions that led to all of the events in the series, manifesting when Cyn self-rebooted after her termination, possessing her body, and setting its plans in motion by converting all of the drones of Elliott Manor into Disassembly Droneswho were programmed to hunt and prey upon humans in its goal of exterminating humanity and destroying the Earth. From there, it would spread to the human exoplanets by having the humans reboot Worker Drones stationed there to see if they got the virus or not, so they could experiment on the eldritch program in an attempt to get rid of the Solver. Its last target, Copper 9, had many drones infected by its code, but only Yeva and Nori, two female Worker Drones, were the only ones who successfully became hosts and gained the Absolute Solver's abilities, the latter of whom would become Solver-possessed by the program. But due to the former's intervention with a Crucifix Patch meant to exorcise it, it resulted in it only partially succeeding due to Nori creating a null that was dropped into a hole that led to the core causing the core to collapse, leaving it "starved" of the planet it sought to devour. In order to finish the job and to terminate the empowered drones who it could no longer possess due to the patch, it reprogrammed the Disassembly Drones and had them sent to Copper 9 with false memories of the company sending them to terminate the rogue Worker Drones, all so it could remove Yeva, Nori, and anyone inheriting their code from the picture, so it could use Cyn's form to make its way back to the planet and finish the job. Ultimately, the Absolute Solver failed in its goal of eradicating the planet and possibly all of humanity due to the efforts of Uzi, N, V, and other allies assisting them in confronting Cyn and J. After successfully destroying Cyn's heart, Uzi stopped the Solver from attempting to return to its host by swallowing its core, causing the amalgamation of Cyn and Tessa's corpse to dissolve into nothing but blood and oil while the Solver remains trapped inside of Uzi.

Physical Appearance

As a computer program, the Solver does not, strictly speaking, have a physical form, though the AI uses a series of symbols when carrying out tasks:

Normal/Translate The base solver symbol is a hollow hexagon, with corners at the top. There are arrows coming out from the top, bottom-left, and bottom-right of the hollow hexagon. There is a smaller, filled-in hexagon inside the hollow one.

Scale The "Scale" symbol is nearly the same, except there is the double-hexagon at the ends of the arrows instead of triangles. Rotate The "Rotate" symbol is the double-hexagon, inside of two intersecting diagonal ovals. That is surrounded by three layered hollowed circles, with multiple columns of three tiny dots at the edges. Edit The "Edit" symbol is the double-hexagon inside of a hollow circle. There is a second, larger hollow circle around the first, creating a ring. Some parts of the ring are filled in.

Personality Despite being the show's main antagonist, very little is known of the Absolute Solver's true personality, as its only confirmed extended screentime is during its appearance as Eldritch J in Heartbeat, and even then, its personality appears wildly different from episode to episode. On top of this, it is also difficult to distinguish which of the Solver's dialogue is actually the Solver itself speaking, and which dialogue are actually the words of its host. During Heartbeat, the Absolute Solver appears very blank and robotic, speaking in a detached robotic nature and near constantly referring to itself in a plural form, such as using the word "we" to refer to itself instead of "I" and referring to repairing J as "our directive". During its time in the manor, while attempting to appear refrained and unassuming alongside Cyn, as shown during the flashbacks in "Home", its very dominant and almost arrogant behavior tended to seep through, such as when it claims it's too late for Louisa to dispose of the Worker Drones. The Solver in general is not a very good actor, as it frequently gives itself away whether on accident or simply through arrogance/overconfidence. It displays a cruel, near omnipotent personality during the times its not attempting to perform an act. The Solver's arrogance is a large part of its personality, as it is seen constantly taunting its victims, the dead, and those around it in general, establishing both itself and the power it wields. The way it carries itself is quite blatantly that of a puppet master, frequently treating its hosts like ragdolls. At the beginning of Home, the Solver communicates toward Cyn with kindness, playfully greeting her and using emojis ("hello :]") while promising not to discard her. During Heartbeat, the Solver makes fun of Uzi for falling for one of its hallucinations ("Pranked, idiot. You big stupid."). This side of its personality appears to have become its dominant trait after the events of Absolute End, as seen in the epilogue. Despite this, however, the Absolute Solver is very intimidating when it wants to be. The Solver, with some fallacy, used Cyn's image to present a meager Worker Drone. While its act was imperfect as Cyn creeped or otherwise weirded everyone out save for N, the Solver's depiction in "Home" shows this facade lasted long enough for it to drop the act and bring waste to all organic life at the Elliott Manor. When masquerading as Tessa, it successfully imitates her reckless, driven, and passionate attitude. It was only when N had caught onto and subsequently beheaded it, that it dropped the facade in favor of its genuine cunning, taunting, and arrogant mannerisms, seen in "Mass Destruction". Although the nature of the Solver's impersonation of Tessa is rather ambiguous, as the Solver is not only previously established to be a terrible actor, but Tessa is implied to still have been alive in some capacity.[1] Even with its ruthless and sadistic nature, the Solver appears to take promises very seriously. The Solver is seen making the promise of "I will not discard you" twice, once toward Cyn, and once toward Tessa. Both promises were kept, as Cyn remained the Solver's host even when it had better options available, and Tessa was technically "spared" from death.

Abilities

Ability Function/Example Worker Drone Possession The Absolute Solver’s most noteworthy aspect is its ability to completely take over the bodies of Worker Drones particularly infected with itself, and once done, the drone’s main LED color shifts to yellow in the duration of the possession. Previously hijacked by the Solver before, Nori’s entries reveal that the possessee’s mind is merged into the Solver’s own, inadvertently giving her information on its next plans. However, this also caused files of her memories to be purged, and thus leaving her mind scrambled. Matter Manipulation The Absolute Solver is able to manipulate matter at the atomic level. This can be done to create new objects out of old matter (See Regeneration), or convert dead organic matter into living matter. Inorganic-Organic Transmutation The Absolute Solver is able to turn inorganic matter into organic material, such as flesh and blood. It is through the Solver that Hosts can create various appendages that are either fully organic, mechanical, or biomechanical in nature, and all Solver Hosts such as Solver Drones and Disassembly Drones are internally partially-organic, with a core covered in flesh and claws along with a rib cage among other things. Doll in "Mass Destruction" shows that she can now bleeds blood instead of oil when wounded. In "Cabin Fever", Uzi was shown to transform an arrow shot at her into a deformed mass of still-living flesh, a light into tendrils that became a flesh chrysalis for her, and both Cyn and Uzi have been seen creating organic body parts that they grafted onto their bodies, including wings, tails, tentacles and claws of varying sizes. Telekinesis Demonstrated with users like Doll and Yeva and vessels such as Cyn, Nori, and Uzi, the Solver can be used to interact with matter without making physical contact. This includes translating objects in any direction or rotating objects around a point. The Solver can exert a large amount of force this way, enough to crumple a thick metal door almost instantly. Uzi in "Fight Til' I'm Good Enough" shows that a Solver host can become proficient enough that they does not need to be pointing their hand and glyph at the affected item or in its general direction to control and manipulate it or use it precisely. Teleportation While being used, the Absolute Solver's known hosts are shown to be able to teleport, leaving behind glitching afterimages as it does in the colour of the Host's eyes. Illusion Creation Whenever using its powers, the Absolute Solver can conjure lines of code, which vary in color depending on the host. It is unknown if this is controllable or not. Hologram-Projecting Cameras The main Host of the Solver is capable of summoning holograms of themselves and others using solver cameras. They are also able to conjure holograms of objects and of a false view of the local environment, such as interior of a church/lab to hide its disarray, as seen when Cyn possessed Nori in "Mass Destruction." These cameras also functions as additional eyes for the Host, and holograms are perfectly able to make sounds themselves of the thing they are copying, seemingly instead of from the cameras directly. The main host is also able to take the appearance of others via these camera appendages, and as well as hide the cameras and their body and limbs when generating holograms or overlaying them with their body, even should the holograms be smaller than the Host. However, it is unknown how long they can last in the current individual they has turned themselves into. Shapeshifting While in control of one, the Absolute Solver can alter the appearance of their host. For example, V, during her time at the Elliott Manor, had her right hand replaced with an organic hand with a functional glowing eye on the back and metallic claws, a mouth of sharp teeth, and sprouted organic wings. Meanwhile, Uzi during her rampage in episode 4 grew similar wings and a sentient tail with eyes and a mouth on the end that had she can use to bite, grab objects, or emit a cone of light in her eye colour for use as a torch. Size Manipulation Not only have hosts of the Solver been shown to instantly vary the size and length of their various biological/mechanical appendages when created and projected, but the Absolute Solver has shown in "Fight Til' I'm Good Enough" to be able to massively increase the size and durability of certain drones it infects and controls with its code, such as Sparky infected with "RUN://INFECT.SYS" growing to the size of a skyscraper. The Solver can also reverse this effect and shrink targets should it choose to do so. Optic Sensory System In "Home", when seeing through V's perspective when given her glasses back, she is shown to that her Solver form has given her the same multi-spectrum, multi-perspective vision that Disassembly Drones would have with their bulb-eye headbands, only she would not have the extra eyes but instead have it all feed through her main visor. NULL Creation The Solver can create NULLs, which look like miniature black holes capable of expanding and stretching. The black holes could annihilate any matter they touched and travel at high velocity when thrown. They can be scaled up in size to where they can block sunlight in the sky, and to implode and consume a planet. A small one made by a possessed Nori caused Copper 9's core to collapse and the planet to become "half-imploded", releasing a blast that wiped out all human life on the planet and turning their corpses into skeletons. Invisibility Nori and Cyn have, under the control of the Solver, been able to make their biomechanical claws invisible. With Cyn, these limbs and abilities were only visible when lightning struck. With Nori, these limbs were only visible by their shadows. Even when she retracted those, she secretly had numerous other limbs that did not even have a shadow, though these were able to be seen with UV lights, as seen in the beginning of "Mass Destruction". Gravity/Anti-Gravity Generation On Uzi's conspiracy board in "Heartbeat" and "The Promening", one of the notes is a report about Gravitational Waves being detected at a Site 48, and in "Cabin Fever", a few of Nori's insane drawings include the equations for Newton's equation for universal gravitation and Einstein field equations. In "Dead End", when briefly possessing Uzi, Cyn, the primary host of the Solver, was able to passively make various objects float helplessly in the air, including the magnets attached to Uzi, batteries, drone parts, oil, an oven, and Beau. In "Mass Destruction", Uzi comes across Cabin Fever posters that state that "the singularity is actively consuming everything" and a countdown of "87" until "universe Big Crunch". At the beginning of "Absolute End", upon initiating the consumption of Copper-9, Cyn created a planet-wide field that caused numerous objects and people to start floating, before then launching chucks of landmasses surrounding the pit to the core into space in preparation to be pulled in and consumed. Regeneration Its hosts can regenerate themselves easily by drawing the appropriate matter from either an unknown internal source, or when low on materials taking from nearby targets like Worker Drones. This process is sped up when the Solver is in full possession, recreating severed limbs and heads in mere seconds, and regeneration also extends to both their hair and the clothes they are currently wearing. As long as they have the material supply, and their core is not destroyed and disconnected from their body, they can regenerate their bodies from anything short of total destruction, as Nori shows remaining as core for years since her body was destroyed by Nanite Acid. Core True Body Hosts of the Solver eventually have their cores develop organic components with three pincer tendrils and become the Host's true body, with their Drone form being just a shell they control. Once disconnected from the Host body, the Host's consciousness will transfer to the core and their original body will become inert until they return to it, whereupon the body will regenerate back around the core and return to normal. These cores, if taken out of their Drone body, are still able to move, speak, see, gesture, and still access their Solver glyph abilities if they unlocked them before. As long as this core is not damaged or destroyed, the Hosts will live, though they do not regenerate their original body, as Nori shows remaining as core for years since her body was destroyed by Nanite Acid, and the cores still seem to need to consume oil, as Nori's core is shown drinking oil from a can in "Mass Destruction". It is unknown why specifically they cannot regenerate their body, whether it be a lack of materials or needing the original body/part of the body to regenerate it, but because of this cores are in a fragile condition. Blunt trauma to their main body and stabs to their limbs are seemingly able to be healed from, but stabs to the core itself is lethal, along with being extremely vulnerable to sunlight - more so than as a Drone, with Cyn's core quickly melting while Uzi's hand holding it more slowly burned but remained intact. Consuming of Solver cores is also how Hosts assimilate other Hosts, as Uzi did for Cyn. Disassembly Drones have a program under Cyn called "_MATCOLLECTION", where if they suffer lethal damage and their supply of material is insufficient to repair, Cyn will possess their core and awaken their dormant Solver into order to collect material needed to repair the Hosts and restore their stockpile for future repair - these materials usually coming from dozens of Worker Drones killed and assimilated. However, it is discovered by Alice that, although heat isn't lethal to cores, it makes them very weak and sluggish and prevents Cyn from possessing them and activating their Solver. Cores that are killed collapse into themselves and become tiny singularities that quietly float away and also evaporate in sunlight. Cyn has shown to uniquely be able to move her body still despite her core being removed from her body, and to survive her core being burnt into a singularity until it was assimilated by Uzi. It is unknown whether this is unique to Cyn or if this means the singularities themselves are a Host's true core. Handiness The Absolute Solver appears to have demonstrated an aptitude for masterful maneuvering with its various kinds of limbs (tentacles, claws, hands) while operating its hosts. Callback Ping The Absolute Solver with a host can use a Callback Ping repeatedly to attempt to possess other nearby hosts, or cause their cores to attempt to rip itself out of their bodies. Depending on the target host, the Callback Ping may or may not be successful, as those with sufficient willpower can resist the effects, and even nullify and reflect the Ping back at the original host as Uzi shows in "Absolute End". Hosts that have an Admin, particularly one different to the Admin initiating the Callback Ping, can also ignore the Ping's effect as seen with Serial Designation N and Serial Designation V in "Mass Destruction" and "Absolute End", although the Host acting as their Admin is still vulnerable and must resist the Ping. Handsfree Glyphs Usage Although Solver Hosts commonly need to use their hands to conjure the Glyphs for most of their various powers, advanced users of the Solver have shown capable of using their powers without needing their hands, though they aren't entirely divorced from needing their hands. Doll has shown in "The Promening" being able to use powers without hand gestures or glyphs through either manifesting giant text boxes to throw Drones or "HALT.EXE" box to stop a thrown object, to manifest the glyph in her visor to use the power such as to move rebar or explode a robo-roach or destroy reflective surfaces, or teleportation without a symbol entirely. She was able to make a surveillance camera face the other way using the "Rotate" glyph, the effect powerful enough that the camera remained occasionally glitching red with the Solver symbol even the next day after Doll had long left, and to set a "Translate" glyph to keep a set of doors closed until it is dismissed. Nori in "Mass Destruction" has shown to be experienced enough Host of the Solver that she is able to conjure glyphs without making the symbol with her limbs or visor even as a core, such as closing and pulling a toolkit to her while walking away from it, and is also able to continue maintaining a glyph without needing to keep up making the accompanying glyph with her limbs, such as when she was carrying a pickaxe and toolkit. Cyn has also shown in "Home" to be able to use her powers through displaying the Solver glyph on her visor, allowing her to use its abilities with needing her hands, such as by blocking Tessa's attacks. She also able to initiate Callback Ping through this method, and can even teleport without a gesture or symbol. Uzi mostly uses her hands, though she has shown capable of using a similar trick of using the glyph through her visor, such destroying mirrors by staring at them, or manifesting a visor glyph to reject Cyn's Callback Ping. Infection In "Fight Til' I'm Good Enough", even when suppressed by Uzi, the Solver still had the power and agency to infect Lizzywith a transmittable "zombie prank" virus called "RUN://INFECT.SYS" through biting her, causing her screen to briefly flash with a white "X" like Disassembly Drones before her visor develops various white lines like cracks or webs and showcases of three green drones icons walking like zombies. This infection makes infected drones walk in a slow-moving, lethargic lumbering, though they can rarely decide to leap or charge at their victims, while also being ignorant of their surroundings beyond other drones, making them continue walking about aimlessly or repeatedly into a wall. It also lets them stretch their mouths wide to across their whole lower face also like Disassembly Drones and Solver Drones, though lacking their iconic fangs. They can infect other Worker Drones the virus through biting, expanding the horde, and although it is presented as a risk, it is unknown if they can transmit the virus to Disassembly Drones or Solver Drones like Uzi, N or V. Consumption of these Drones by Disassembly Drones does not seem to pass along the infection, and they can be killed by normal means like any other Worker Drone. Although the virus originates from the Solver, it does not appear to be considered part of the Solver, as Uzi is still able to use her powers directly on infected Drones instead of being not able to. The Solver can also infect this virus into Sentinels such as Sparky, turning him hostile and with glowing green optics, cables, and internal fluid. This infection can also have addition effects of not only allowing the Solver to control his movements directly, but also to massively increase his size and durability to where Sparky is the size of a partially-collapsed skyscraper and being able to tank numerous bullets, thrown boulders, missiles, and blade strikes with little-to-no damage, as well as breath out a green, thick smokey vapour. The Solver at its choosing can also release a large green energy pulse in the sky that will cure the virus and reverse these effects, returning things to normal.

Weakness Example Non-interactive Error Hosts of the Absolute Solver when attempting to use their powers on other Hosts are given the warning "ERROR: absoluteSolver_trn [like object non-interactive]", preventing them from using their more direct powers like telekinesis on them to crush them or throw them away, as seen when Doll attempted so in "The Promening". However, it is also shown that although directly using their powers on Hosts fails, they can still use their powers to assist in indirect ways like throwing knives and Solver-edited objects at other Hosts or moving objects like rebar or a pickaxe directly into those Hosts to stab or slice them. It is inferred that [Null] spheres, however, are capable of harming other Hosts, though they are unable to be directly manifested on targets and have to be launched as projectiles. Multiple Hosts can also use their powers on the same object at the same time, such as Uzi and Doll using telekinesis on the keybug. It is inferred that Disassembly Drones are also immune due to having the Solver, as shown by Eldritch J and N's reboot screen in the "Pilot", and according to Nori's note in "Mass Destruction" they are called puppet hosts that have a "nerfed" version of the entity to ensure control. Neither Doll, Uzi, Nori, or Cyn have been shown to use their powers on attacking them directly, instead either using it on objects to fight them like Doll in "The Promening", breaking off the Drones' body parts to use their power on those, like Uzi in "Cabin Fever", or using objects embedded into them to move them like Uzi throwing N away using the ship keys stabbed his chest in "Mass Destruction". Hand Amputation Hosts of the Absolute Solver usually need their hands to use its power. In "Mass Destruction", while Uzi was under the control of the Solver, Nori and N cut off Uzi's hands to temporarily prevent her from using her abilities. However, advanced users of the Solver are capable of using their powers through their visor or through text boxes, although they are not completely independent from needing their hands some times. Decreased Dexterity with Claws During the scene in "Home" where the Absolute Solver was attempting to perform a lobotomy on N, it appeared unable to pick up a scalpel with one of its tarsal claw-like arms. UV Light While Nori was under the control of the Solver, UV rays caused her mechanical claws to burn up and become visible. Similarly, back at the gala, Cyn's mechanical claws were revealed when the light from the lightning behind her exposed them. Finally, in "Absolute End", Uzi blew a hole through Copper 9, disintegrating Cyn's heartby allowing sunlight to shine through from the other end of the planet to reach her. Overheating/Vampirism In some scenes where the Absolute Solver is used by a host, it sometimes shows a high-temperature warning. It also has a reliance on oil to maintain a cool enough temperature to consistently use the Absolute Solver's powers, which is extreme enough that even the perpetually-frozen Copper-9 is not enough to cool them down. Attempts to use the Solver's powers when overheating causes the powers to become unstable and uncontrolled, such as when Uzi stopped an arrow in mid-air only to suffer a high-temp warning and unintentionally cause the arrow to explode into a tentacle-creature with glowing eyes writhing in a pool of steaming blood. Later, when trying to destroy a light in a cabin, her Solver turned red and flashed numerous code boxes and error noises, causing the light to overflow with blood and release red-tendrils of flesh that spread through the cabin interior and encased her in a chrysalis congealed, glistening blood. In addition, this weakness to overheating makes hosts of the Solver extremely sensitive to sunlight, such as Uzi's hand burning up when it makes contact with the rising sunlight at the end of "Cabin Fever". According to Alice, heat makes Solver hosts, or at least their cores, sluggish and weak enough to keep their cores contained without manifestations like Eldritch J. However, the damage by overheating itself seems to be more of a reaction to direct sunlight/UV rays than any actual intense heat or radiation as Solver hosts are shown able to survive both the vacuum of space, which has a much higher UV radiation content than in-atmosphere, and the heat of atmospheric reentry without either harm or needing oil like Uzi, N and Nori's core in "Absolute End". Crucifix Patch The Crucifix Patch created by Cabin Fever Labs has the power to "exorcise" the Absolute Solver's possession of a Host. This permanently prevents the Solver from possessing them, while at the same time allows the Host to keep their Solver-related abilities such as telekinesis, inability to be directly effected by Solver powers of other Hosts, and surviving as a fleshy core after the destruction of their body.

How the Solver's Abilities Works? The Solver's power functions by treating the reality within its immediate physical presence (it appears to have a small limit on range) as a 3D modelling program, using intense math and programming to essentially rewire reality at an atomic level as it (or the host) pleases. This is where abilities such as "edit", "move", "rotate", or "scale" come from. This can be seen in many cases, e.g. "[NULL]" is a singularity with a matter value of 1 (in code). This is also why hosts cannot interact with one another or connected "objects" via their power, because the program even at a base non-intelligent level recognizes itself and blocks the action from occurring. This does not appear to be willing, as even the Solver itself is bound by this rule of being unable to interact with other hosts and is unable to disable it. "-// ERROR absoluteSolver_trn.
