Serial Designation J (2024)

Serial Designation J (referred to as J) is a Murder Drone and the secondary antagonist of the Glitch Productions web series Murder Drones, appearing as the main antagonist of MURDER DRONES (PILOT) and an overarching antagonist in MURDER DRONES - Episode 2: Heartbeat. She was the leader of the local Disassembly Drone squad that also consisted of N‎ and V, described as a "lethal workaholic" until her death by Uzi's railgun.

However, J's supposed "death" wouldn't last long due to the presence of an even greater threat, the mysterious program known as the AbsoluteSolver, which hijacked what was left of J's shell and began to reconstruct her using the material of several Worker Drones it consumed; despite the attempts of Uzi and N to stop the program, J was successfully reconstructed and returned to the exo-planet in The Promening, with the assistance and supervision of her superior, Tessa.

She is voiced by Shara Kirby.

Appearance[]

J has features similar to that of typical female Disassembly Drones with yellow neon eyes and silverish hair in twin-tails tied with black ribbons. Like other Murder Drones, she has a black headband with five sections of lights and a long, thin black tail ending in a large syringe, both with a neon yellow liquid inside.

She has more of an "anime schoolgirl" approach to her appearance and wears a typical businesswoman-style suit. Her legs are black to the knee, giving the appearance of knee-high stockings.

When she hunted, her mouth grew several jagged teeth and her eyes became an "><" shape. She also deployed giant, dangerous bladed wings and claws that allowed her to easily tear through any Worker Drone that stood before her.

Following her death, her biomechanical core infused with nanites known as the AbsoluteSolver (implyed to be within all Disassembly Drones) activated and began attacking and killing other Worker Drones, presumably assimilating their parts to begin rebuilding J, albeit a separate AI operating it. J's “upgraded form” through the AbsoluteSolver is nothing short of abominable and monstrous, now being a centipede/snake-like spiny mechanical beast with several spindly bladed appendages and blades up it's back. It also has two camera-esque eyes on two other appendages, with fangs surrounding the rims of the lenses. Her syringe tipped tail is now more armored and adorned with spines as well, while the underbelly of the body still had construction stripes along it, albeit appearing sloppily spraypainted on. J's head is retained as the creature's, albeit it's implied she herself doesn't control the beast. Albeit her hair and headband optics are intact, her lower jaw is missing while the top half is fanged and her visor is nothing but a series of black splotches to illustrate her bestial state. While this form is intended to be a upgraded form, the AbsoluteSolver has an independent AI as it's implied J's own personality is currently dormant. Whether the creature is actually created with J’s remains or is an entirely separate entity is also unclear.

Personality[]

J shows extreme loyalty to JCJenson, the company that created her and other Disassembly Drones, showing great dedication to her work. She views the mediocre reward of branded pens that are meant only for top-performing Disassembly Drones as quite celebratory. She is described by Liam Vicker as a "try hard" on his twitter.

It's also noted that she hates those who she deems useless, as seen with her constant insults and complaining about how useless N was in their mission due to his naivety and benevolent nature unfitting of a Disassembly Drone, going so far as to claim that if the company allowed her to kill useless drones, she wouldn't hesitate to do so. This was shown to be true when she infected N with a virus after he started questioning the true motives of their mission and the parent company that made them.

History[]

Before Murder Drones[]

Years prior to the events of the Murder Drones pilot episode, J was one of the Worker Drones who had been decommissioned and discarded at the landfill, but were later found by Tessa and given a role as servants of Elliot Manor. J grew very close to Tessa and was loyal to her. Even then, she was still abusive towards her co-worker N, as she kicks him in a flashback in "Heartbeat", and got annoyed when Tessa brought another Drone into the manor, if her reaction to seeing Cyn for the first time is anything to go by.

Later on, as the Gala was being set up, Tessa tells J to act like the woman in the invitation, to which she does. Following Tessa and her mother's confrontation, J was seen in Tessa's bedroom with her ankled chained, alongside Tessa and Cyn.

As a Disassembly Drone, J was responsible for leading Serial Designation N and Serial Designation V in the mission of exterminating all Worker Drones on Copper 9. She despised N for being useless in their mission and always wanted to kill him for his amicable nature.

Pilot[]

She would later praise N for not being as useless as she thought, but when N began to question JCJenson's intentions, J took this as an opportunity to kill him, describing N's doubts about the company's motives as the "excuse she needed", proving her appreciation to be very shallow.

After invading the evacuation point of the Wokers Drones with V, J was destroyed by Uzi when grabbed her tail and impaled the syringe into her right leg while she was distracted, which caused her to fall. Uzi then obliterated the upper half of her body with the Railgun.

Heartbeat[]

Eventually, in the next episode, the AbsoluteSolver entity would search for materials to rebuild J, killing various characters in order to do so, until it was caught in the explosion of Uzi's railgun and driven away temporarily.

The Promening[]

At the end of the episode, J returns with Tessa, now fully grown up and part of JCJenson.

Trivia[]

• J is the first known Disassembly Drone to be killed.
• J is currently the only Disassembly Drone shown to use their EMP Cannon.
• J is the only major GLITCH character to be killed on-screen in a series' pilot episode.
• It is unknown whether or not V will later attempt to avenge J due to Uzi having killed her.
• FightingMario54321 simps her.
• In the Season 1 Teaser, when asked the question “Is J actually died?”, Liam Vickers responded with nervous stuttering and an “Uh-oh!”, implying her return in future episodes. This is further evidenced in the second episode when Uzi and N confront the mechanical monster that holds J's remains with the intention of rebuilding her, further implying that she will return soon. This was later confirmed from her return in The Promening.
