Cabin Fever Labs

"***If Cyn wants these labs, we burn ‘em down! That Keybug’s our way in.***"

**Cabin Fever Labs** was an underground science facility by JCJenson that studied the AbsoluteSolver before Copper 9’s core collapse.

## History

After Cyn destroyed Earth with the AbsoluteSolver, multiple labs on different planets were made to investigate the true nature of the Solver, Cabin Fever Labs being one of them. The staff would add the AbsoluteSolver to the code of Worker Drones and document the abilities and behaviour of the newly corrupted drones.

To prevent the escape of the potentially dangerous infected drones, the humans designed the Anti-Drone Sentinels: robots with appearances not unlike velociraptors, who possessed sharp teeth and claws to tear apart any unauthorized intruders. Their most notable ability, however, was their gaze - any drone unfortunate enough to be looking at them when their eyes flashed would instantly be put into a comatose state referred to as a "bootloop". Unable to defend themselves or even flee, the Sentinels would ruthlessly tear apart the intruder or would-be escapee.

The Sentinels performed their job well; after the humans disappeared from the laboratory for unknown reasons, the Sentinels hunted down and killed most of the drones within the facility. Those that survived fled, though one drone named Alice managed to trap the Sentinels in sealed rooms, and subsequently lived within the degrading facility.

Cyn sent groups of Disassembly Drones to the facility for currently unknown reasons. However, the incapacitating abilities that the Sentinels possessed against Worker Drones proved to be equally effective against them, and they were all killed at the lab's entrance. Some appeared to have become aware of the nature of their abilities, as the words "don't look" were repeatedly written on the walls, accompanied by two sketches of the Sentinels. Despite this, there were no known survivors.

A group of Disassembly Drones, accompanied by the human Tessa and the Worker Drone Uzi, stumbled across these remains. Ignoring the warnings, they proceeded onward, where they eventually met Alice and Beau. After a brief struggle involving the release of some Sentinels, the two were killed and they proceeded onward to the elevator to the underground base they aimed to enter. An obvious setup noted as such that was nonetheless triggered led to the release of the rest of the facility's Sentinels, which resulted in Doll and the exploration team ending up in the basement. However Serial Designation V, one of the Disassembly Drones in the group, remained behind to fend off the Sentinels and cover the rest of the team.

## Trivia

* Despite their power, the Sentinels would be able to do very little to subdue AbsoluteSolver - their original target - if it manifested itself. As displayed by Uzi in *Dead End*, its near-unlimited power was capable of destroying them in mere seconds via a "black-hole" like phenomenon, against which they had no defense.
* Though the facility was originally built and inhabited by human scientists and as such things like door codes would have been designed by them, Alice and Beau had extensive knowledge of the facility's passcodes and systems.
* The entrance of the facility is littered with corpses and warnings, but the facility itself is largely clean (albeit still derelict). Considering the Sentinels' indiscriminate search-and-destroy behavior toward any drones, regardless of where they were, this is slightly odd.
* Although it might seem that Sixth Episode takes place in Cabin Fever Labs, it is only an entrance.
