Drone Agent

Drone Agents, also known as 'mandrones' prior to the 70's, seem to be disposable, low-ranking human agents of Black Labs, brainwashed using some form of mind-control technology, possibly MKUltra-based techniques, into serving the secret laboratory's interests. During whatever process is used by the Labs to reprogram the minds of it's victims, a degree of information regarding the function and purpose of Black Labs missions are fed into the drone's brains, while other systems are repressed; The drones are then fully focused on the mission at hand.

### **History**

The drones are likely early attempts of mind-control techniques and technologies originally developed Black Labs using the CIA as a front, seemed to be mostly males of fit and athletic build of varying race and origin and seemingly absolutely normal humans with no superhuman or enhanced abilities before the 80's, and many wore untraceable clean black suits and were equipped with nothing more than a small handgun and a pager with a jumbled message system, however post 2010 some new possible-drones have come in an array of shapes and sizes, and complex brainwashing techniques have clearly improved; targeting individuals with specific skills and abilities for specific missions. Whatever system BL use to reprogram the minds of their drones, techniques and methods of selection and applications have become a lot more harder to identify.

They differ from brainwashed sleeper agents in that drones are always 'active', though BL has been known to use sleepers, this technology was seemingly leaked into Russian hands and may have inadvertently pushed the tide for the dissolution of the Soviet Union and formation of the Russian Federation, and today the Kremlin may still use, somewhat outdated variants of sleeper agent brainwashing on their spies.

### **Mission**

In most cases drones were often simply sent out to gather information and observe, then report back to a higher-ranking agent, but sometimes a drone or drones accompany an agent on a mission, where they act as backup and pawns. They are sometimes sent ahead of primary agents but are actually rarely sent in on their own to attain physical objects of importance

Any attempts to capture a drone by organisations such as S.T.A.R and VALER, or even the rare chance the police of FBI get a hold of one, have resulted in the brainwashing simply switching off the minds of the victims into an unconscious state. After a while the brainwashing seems to ware off and the victims have no memory of whatever happened to them for several weeks before encountering Black Labs.

Many ex-drones are returned to their normal lives and remember nothing of their time as a drone, nor the events leading up to it, ever again, however some rare instances ex-drones have committed suicide, especially when an ex-drone is returned, after months or years away, to find their old lives radically different.

### **Null Agents**

Some have argued that BL no longer use drone agents, but instead altered clones known as 'null agents' or 'nulls', who are essentially genetic templates of an average human grown from stem cells with all the unique information removed, genderless, indeterminable racial attributes, easily programmable and easily re-grown, however there have been instances of nulls developing their own personalities, which are hard to deprogram once rooted.
