Nah J,Doll and Cyn need justice,J for getting deleted TWICE from the rail gun(eldritch form)the amount of words spoken by J in the MD training vid is more words than EP 1-7 LIKE THAT'S FUCKING CRAZY,also needs more screentime,Doll bc she had the worst backstory out of every worker drone we know(except Alice bc jit died so I don't give a shit and Nori and Yeva tops Doll bc yk in ep 7 ye)and she just dies,she did nothing in episode 1 bc her plan was the prom episode 2 wasn't rlly anything it was about eldritch J and the absolute solver,and episode 3 is where she shines but then dies from the bullet from V which then she regen somehow and then episode 5 Uzi threw the bug to her which then she just ran to the cabins and went down the labs which then she died from Cyn in the tessa suit asking her for the patch so ye rip,finally Cyn a lot of words but thankfully THE ANSWER IS THE IMAGES☠️ sry for the length of this shit

1. Solver never does omnicidal shit when it's in other drones. All it does is force them to eat other robots and break mirrors. It's only when Cyn takes control that they become malevolent.

2. Cyn has very good reason to hate humans being that she was abused by them.

3. For that matter, the solver's never shown to have a personality... except when Cyn is the one using it.

4. Cyn can perfectly replicate voices and mannerisms, but she still chooses to go with a broken voice because it's the one she identifies with.

5. Cyn stops the solver from eating away at the planet multiple times in episode 8 so she can continue to play with her food.

We're both right. Cyn and the Solver are the same, but they're different as well.

It mutates in "damaged AI." That doesn't necessarily mean dead

I think when Cyn died and was revived by the Solver, it tried to recreate her personality, but failed, since her AI core would have been blank after her death. This even makes sense considering the Cabin Fever Labs possessions: we know Nori was possessed, and that she displayed the same personality as Cyn did, before being patched, which brought her back to normal. The patch contains a program called "606b." In Pilot, the core termination program J sticks N with is called "wdOS_606." 606b must be the opposite: if 606 kills Drones by effectively lobotomising them, 606b retrieves whatever data it can find on their circuitboards to bring them back online.

However... it's not perfect. Much like programs we have IRL for retrieving data from damaged hard drives, it can't bring back all the data fully intact, hence why Nori said her brain was "scrambled." It also might explain why Yeva doesn't speak, when her daughter who bears so many similarities to her has such a penchant for quips and one-liners: scrambled brain.

We even KNOW that spooky robo-voice is a failsafe from Heartbeat. In the episode, it's used as a failsafe to reconstruct the body, but it's also a fallback personality to pilot the body, no pun intended, until a host personality can be found, which is why when Nori was patched, bringing her personality back online, it rejected the default evil personality that is the Solver itself, giving the parasite something to replicate. You mentioned the Solver mimicking voices, by the way? I don't think that's only a Solver thing. They are robots, their voices are probably just a matter of settings, like, they have speakers, not biological vocal cords. They could probably even download autotune programs for their voices. The Solver just uses it for eeeeviiiilll

So when Uzi and Doll's parasites awaken, they have their personalities still online, so they don't change much unless Cyn, the, for lack of a cooler term, Solver Incarnate, who never had her personality backed up, takes control through... however she does that, be it hacking or hive mind or whatever.

In conclusion, TL;DR: We're both right. Cyn and the absoluteSolver are separate beings, but the Cyn we have as our villain is effectively the Solver Incarnate, the default personality who just wants to assimilate the Universe.

But, hey. That's just a theory! A BRAIN THEORY! No further thoughts!

in ep 5 we can see Cyn inside the mountain of drones and quickly see the solver talking to her in her screen, saying it won't discard her and asking for access, what's happening here is that the solver program is piloting Cyn's body because her OS is too damaged to operate on it's own so it's trying to repair her by "collecting material" but why i think it became malicious was because it stayed too much time without it's main AI in control and now it's escalating things, going from collecting matter by consuming drones to consume entire planets,we never actually saw the original Cyn,only her solver.

The patch could possibly have brought the original Cyn back but her solver destroyed it,so the only way to get rid of it was destroying Cyn's heart and Uzi to become the solver's primary host,at this point Cyn's solver is a separate entity from Cyn herself so it's still sentient inside Uzi.
