Cabin Fever

**Overview**Transcript

## Video

**Cabin Fever** is the fourth episode of *Murder Drones* and it premiered on YouTube on April 7th, 2023.

## Synopsis

The episode opens on a sign which says "Camp 98.7". Uzi and her classmates arrive in a traditional school bus, with a man riding the vehicle, as if it were to be a horse carriage, which also had a red "X" marked on the fuel filler, indicating that it may not even have run on gas. Uzi steps off last, holding her normal skull bracelet with a flower pattern and Doll's bracelet with another skull on it.

The scene cuts to a flashback where Khan Doorman shows Uzi an old photo of Camp 98.7. It zooms in on two drones' necks with collars on them, one with the ID 048 and the other with 002. The collars have a skull, similar to to Uzi and Doll's bracelets. Khan tells Uzi how her mother would always tell him to build doors "against the coming sky demons", referring to the Disassembly Drones. He tells Uzi to be safe and gives her the bracelet she normally wears on her neck.

The camera then cuts back to the camp scene and shows Uzi looking at the collars. She puts one of them on. A student asks the teacher what the field trip is for, and the teacher tells him to ask Uzi. The student asks, "Who?" and Uzi replies that she's sat next to him for years. Everyone turns to look at her before jumping back and gasping. She says that she wanted to come alone, but that the teacher brought the other students on the trip due to his frustration with the class's test scores.

The aforementioned student questions whether the class is just going to be unsupervised, V and N land, wearing camp uniforms that seem to be for summer although it is currently winter at the campsite. N welcomes them and starts counting "One, two", pointing at V and himself and expecting the class to continue. When everyone just stands silently, frightened, V shoots one of them dead, prompting the rest to say their numbers in unison. N says that they have many "distracting activities" planned and tells them not to "run away to investigate stuff." He tells the class to go to the bunks, but everyone remains there, petrified. Thad is the first one to walk towards the Disassembly Drones. Lizzy who was stealing from the dead body is second, throwing what she had taken at V. The two stand next to N and V.

Uzi then does some sign language which presumably means, “Please, may I ditch these people?” N proceeds further and nods, Uzi travels further into the forest and arrives at a cabin. Uzi proceeds to look in a glass pane, revealing her reflection (as seen in Episode 2, reflections make the AbsoluteSolver break the reflection). She then panics as the glass breaks, puts down her bag and proceeds to use her AbsoluteSolver abilities. She then hears a scream from outside, but it's just her classmates, having fun setting up camp. Uzi starts overheating and goes to eat the oil in her bag (from Episode 3 in Doll's room). V stumbles across Uzi and says, "You said this camp would help us find that Red Eyed Doll Freak (Doll)." V proceeds to tell Uzi that she will be the next one she will kill and goes away. While is Uzi investigating the house, she finds a green variant of the robotic bugs seen in Episode 3. It opens up what is assumed to be a holographic chat, and while Uzi is communicating with it, Doll appears for a split second and then disappears.

Uzi returns to the campsite, where one of the drones is so surprised that they accidentally shoot her with an arrow. She uses the AbsoluteSolver to stop the arrow, however, after a second it explodes into oil and begins to mutate into an organic being. Everybody is horrified, and V attempts to kill Uzi. She runs away to a second cabin.

Uzi proceeds to close off all exits to the cabin. The lights that are on appear to hurt her (perhaps as a side effect) and she tries to turn them off. One of them fills with an unknown liquid and mutates, similar to the arrow. N gets mad at V and questions her about the lack of information she is giving him. N flies off, and V tells the surviving campers that they can do anything they want, and V leaves.

Rebecca and Darren sneak off, presumably to make out and coincidentally choose the same cabin that Uzi was currently in. Uzi finds them, eats Darren alive, while Rebecca escapes with half of her body after being bisected by Uzi. N goes into yet another cabin, and picks up VHS tapes, which was titled, "ZOMBIE DRONES!", and has a flashback of an unknown drone (probably a zombie) and a black hole-ish thing with a [null] in the center next to the ruined mansion seen at the start of Heartbeat, which he takes them with him.

Back at the camp, the campers find that Rebecca has been torn apart. She attempts to tell them that Uzi did this, but she doesn't remember her name, giving unclear information about her. Uzi appears, as Rebecca dies, and still the campers don't really seem to remember her name. One of the campers (Braiden) seeing Uzi, said unsurely, "oh, you...". She has undergone a transformation imitating the Disassembly Drones, with strange organic wings and a sentient tail, and visor symbols which switch from an "X" to the AbsoluteSolver symbol. The campers split up, all being killed by Uzi except for Lizzy, as V protects her. V knocks Uzi down, and says, "New body, same horrors. Huh, Cyn?" Uzi regenerates and fights V; in the ensuing fiasco, Lizzy, who had not bothered to run away, gets blasted away by a missile launched by V, though she survives. Uzi manages to sever V's tail and tries to stab her with it, but N stops her from doing so. Uzi stabs N with it, before realizing what she had done, but N is unfazed and gives her a smile before tossing her up into the sky. He then helps to comfort Uzi and to return her to her original form, before N lands with the normal Uzi in his arms. The survivors return to the bus and they leave the camp. The teacher asks V why some of the students are missing, who takes the blame for Uzi's rampage, though the teacher doesn't really care regardless.

On the bus, the sun rises and burns Uzi's hand, until N pulls it out of the light. As he does, Uzi briefly holds it, which sends him in shock and pulls it away, and the camera pans to the VHS tapes (which say "ZOMBIE DRONES!"), ending the episode.

## Trivia

* When N touches the "ZOMBIE DRONES!" VHS, visions are seen and the first one has a robot that could be a maid from the mansion seen at the start of "Heartbeat", the robot also has the AbsoluteSolver symbol for one of her eyes.
* This episode hints about V's past regarding her encounter with a drone named "Cyn", whom she suspects Uzi to be the same person due to her connection to the AbsoluteSolver and transformation.

## Errors

* N's hand after Uzi stabbed him was clipping into his wrist.
* This also happened in the thumbnail if you look closely.

* During the scene when Uzi is running away after the AbsoluteSolver turns a Worker Drones' arrow into a living creature, she attempts to vault the fence but instead gets entirely clipped into the floor, disappearing from sight by being out of bounds.
* At the very end of the scene where Uzi realizes Rebecca has escaped, her eyes disappear for a frame.
* At the end of the episode, after V sits down on the bus after Teacher asked what happened to some campers, her tail is clipped through the back of the seat.
