Murder Drones CYOA Episode 1: Power-On

Summary:

Play as *You* in Worker Drone form as you embark on an episodic journey across the cold surface of Copper-9. As the Reader, you will be presented with choices that can affect You, the characters around you, and possibly Copper-9 itself.

Notes:

So yes, hi, just so you know this is my first time uploading to AO3 because I couldn’t get this idea out of my head. I love Choose Your Own Adventure/Games and Murder Drones so I thought I could combine the two of them together. And I'm not talking about the kinds of stories I see up on this cite where the audience 'votes' for what happens next because I think that's kinda... lame. No disrespect to the creators of those kinds of works, including those who have written such fics in the Murder Drone universe like Murder Drones: Integration (I would link if I knew how to). But when I think of a Choose Your Own Adventure Story, I think of one where the story is complete so you can eventually go back and see both outcomes of all the decisions, something you can't do when the audience votes. Which is what I hope to provide with this work. I also know that there is not much really here, I am more or less posting this now because I just got my A03 account today and so I have more motivation to lock in and finish Episode 1.

Chapter 1: Instructions and Introduction

Chapter Text

So yes, this is my first AO3 post and I hoped to bring something that hasn't been brought before, that being a complete CYOA in the MD universe. This first chapter is to just tell you about the basics for how to maneuver the story. For anyone who hasn't read a Choose Your Own Adventure Story before, basically at the end of most of the chapters there will be choices telling you to go to a specific chapter, go to the chapter for the choice you want to make to continue your story using the 'chapter index' feature. If you reach the end of a chapter and it simply tells you to go to a specific chapter, go to that chapter. That is just me either cutting off the scene because I fell it was going on for too long, or for writing purposes. You may also notice that there are a few headcannons and references to things found from talented author, LadyDayBreaker works if you read hers like I do. I thought to include them just for more world building and because they made sense to include so I want to give credit where it is due. Otherwise, please enjoy, and don't forget to remember your code, and see the final chapter if you want to. (I Also can't seem to edit the author notes at the beginning, but I promise the whole thing is now uploaded)

To Begin the Story, Proceed to Chapter 2.
