Making a Waker Control Drone!
After the camp siege I've been thinking for a while about how we have plenty of bodies around everywhere. So why not make something that will use of them? Thinking such I opened up the workshop app on my phone. I've rarely used this besides the times to make ammo or buy stuff from completed projects. Which surprisingly the only people that know of my unique "Psychic abilities", as I sorta just called them on the spot. Are Carl who witnessed me using them one night during my hunting. Then well Michonne who held a sword to my neck if I didn't explain it!
I got them to keep silent by saying I'll let Carl in on any projects I do. While for Michonne I said I'll make better swords and even modify them for her. Which I had to do for her old sword, helped me learn the workshop can modify existing weapons more than I previously thought. So I gave her sword basically a dangerous mod combo and fine tuning, I remember from a game. Diamond Edge, Dawn Blade, and making the swords material a stable hundred folded, vanadium with chromium as a coating.
Once she swung it at random brick, she sorta made a very clean crisp cut. While one piece flew as she cut it in half, hitting a wall. So she was pleased but more scary than before! Before I start my little mad project I go get Carl and my girls from wherever they are. Once he learned what I was doing he got pretty excited with a very dark smile. The girls just looked at me curiously so I chuckled as I led them to my physical workshop in the prison.
Opening the door after unlocking all thirty locks through my phone we entered my workshop. Inside was a organized mess of projects like a EXO suite in a corner that's mostly done. Walking through I grab a container and then various parts and broken drones. I take everything over to my work bench and spread everything out on the table. Pulling a pagan pen meant for enchanting from my inventory I set it down as well. The others looking at me curiously as I began to work on the drone.
Laura and Myriad took on humanoid wolf girl forms which wasn't new to Carl, he's seen it five times now. Glacial peering curiously at my hands they moved quickly to assemble a slim drone the size of a balled up corn snake. Using my enchanting pen I etch the runes of my necromancer skill into the drones inner casing. Sealing it up as I enchanted the main component into the top of the drone. Once it had finished the drone lit up with a red glow from the lights inside it. It slowly raised off my work bench as the six adjusting propellors came to life with a silent whirl.
The drone can do its intended job by hijacking its targets body through the brain stem, after burrowing into its neck. Through this grueling eight hour designing with help from the workshop and Carls ideas. We made a mechanical slightly large wasp drone as the model. If it works as intended then I could use it to hunt the skin wearing cult down with them thinking thecdead are normal. Or even use it to control one of those people working for those crazy people under that bastard to get eyes on him. They were still abducting people at random from reports we hear from survivors. Knowing their leader ita for stuff that's dangerous to life.
If someone broke or captured the drone however I installed a surprise. Which is condensed volatile white phosphorus napalm that uses the hosts fluids to spread. While well a mix of mustard gas and green poison are released, using the methane and gases inside the body. Just where the stinger is on a wasp is a very powerful yet small drill for escape if captured. Before it begins its suicide mission to prevent being replicated or hacked if possible.
But enough explaining my little creation. Me and Carl with the girls left Fort Chronicle. To find a walker group to test our unlawful war drone on. So after exploring around for a while, about forty miles, we found a school. Stopping outside I used my phone to activate "Hive 0" and set it free to get inside the school. With us watching the the drone when its camera kicked on. showing video feed onto my phone. Below the window we saw it go in through a bloody window.
Below the window inside was bloody skeleton below it picked clean of flesh from likely a horde dragging it back it inside. Looking around the room that seemed to be a closet of sorts, we hade Hive 0 exit it. By drilling hole through the door and squeeze its self through before flying again.
Upon exiting we entered a hallway with a walker of a ten year old girl in it. Under the watchful eyes of the everyone else I had Hive 0 burrow into her neck from the back. Taking control of her brain stem against the Wakers will, I have the girl stand infront of piece of glass. Seeing that her eye's care glowing green slightly, is indication she's ours. Raising her hands we see they're disturbingly sharp and blood. So either this is an actual witch like enemy from a classic game, or she is a new Rare. Her hair seems to be brown with bits of flesh in it. While her skin is pretty pale, but what she waswearing a used to be nice dress. Just there's a bite through it on her chest showing her still heart. Looking at her long enough Carl asked if we can explore to find an occupied class room.
Agreeing with that suggestion we have the girl wander around till we find an open door. Inside are twelve walkers of different ages groaning at the sun. Thus the test to see if we can use this drone to use walkers for combat began. The girls body moved surprisingly fast before her fingers dug into a adult walkers leg. Ripping it off slightly, she knocked it down before she bit into its skull and brain. The other walkers watched this unsure what was happening exactly. Before an elderly woman's corpse was on the floor with her head caved in by the girls foot after jumping on her. Soon the other walkers got violent getting the picture finally, but died as well shortly after.
Watching this me, the girls, and Carl had blank looks. Because this is working to well in all honesty! So we went to schools front glass doors and had the girl come to them. A few feet away however the drone, had to seize her body forcefully a couple times. So this shows she's still hostile to humans and will fight for control. Carefully we let her out of the building. Having the drone lock every muscle up, so we could restrain her hands and cover her mouth. So we could start our return journey home for the day.
On the way we ran into a bald man who threatened us. So uncovering the girls mouth and telling the drone kill. We watched a little girl topple a grown man and violently eat his intestines. Before continuing home and locking her in a solitary cell by Dale's relay station. After all that I can only say this was probably a success but we may of found a new variation! So that's definitely a dangerous thing to know likely exist in the already fucked walker population!
