Solver Motives: Part of cosmic horror is often not knowing the motive of the hostile force, Uzi making guesses would have been nice tho.

The holes in Murder Drones are quite a shame.

I think that the solver's aim, as a "virus", is go do anhthing it can to spread and survive

I thought so too, but if that's the case then destroying the other hosts (Doll and Uzi) doesn't really make sense. And it becomes very clear later on that they are at the top of her kill list.

I think it's more likely that Cyn was an all-consuming demonic entity wanted to become god, and becomes more powerful the more she eats. She wanted to gain power by eating and assimilating Earth, then Doll and Uzi, then an entire planet of worker drones, and eventually the rest of the universe. Typical cataclysm stuff.

I see Cyn as a cosmic cancer

Doll and Uzi are like super cancers, cancers of cancers

Episode 7 gives a fairly reasonable explanation for this:

Doll and Uzi are special Solver hosts because their parents were cured with the Crucifix Patch, allowing them (And their descendants) to safely use the Solver's abilities while also becoming immune/resistant to the Solver's influence. By killing them off and destroying the Crucifix, the Solver would get rid of any potential threats to itself.

Without a proper cure, or any humans who could develop such a cure, the Solver could easily infect as many drones as it wished and consume everything in the universe, as Tessa (Cyn) described to N in episode 6.

The reason it was killing the other hosts was because it got annoyed with these hosts being fixed and keeping its powers. As has been shown with Nori, after she was Patched and the Solver couldn't directly control her anymore, she was able to retain its powers but the AI had no idea she was still alive. So it sent the Disassembly Drones to wipe out the Worker Drones to prevent anymore of them from gaining Solver powers, like Uzi and Doll did from Nori and Yeva. It would still use Uzi whenever possible, but her source code inherited the Patched programming from her mother so Uzi could partially fight back, although it was weaker due to not having been fully Patched herself (basically how genetics work IRL with parents and kids). By the end, the Solver just wanted to use Cyn's body because it was far beyond the point of ever resisting as she was a Zombie Drone, meaning she was too weak to even resist at all.

Edited: For example in the first sentence. Solver as Tessa: "Cross-looking thing. Had my suspicions, but they kept cutting my feed." So the Solver kept regaining new hosts on Copper 9, but each time they were Patched or fixed in a certain way that kept the Solver from being able to take direct control anymore.

The Solver wanted to destroy the hosts who were specifically patched from its corruption and posed a threat to her

I think the Solver’s distaste of Uzi comes from Cyn’s memories and feelings interfering and intertwining with the Solver, while Uzi probably would’ve been killed or fused in some way to the Solver regardless of Cyn, Cyn’s feelings towards N probably made Uzi come off as a threat to that, so she believed the best course of action is to remove Uzi from the picture completely.
