Cyn Was Betrayed by the Absolute Solver? The REAL CYN Explained! 

Hot take: CYN is the perfect definition of ''how to make a disturbing and haunting villain for your show''

Cyn is so cute but the solver ruins her😢

The person that dint properly disposed Cyn is the one responsible for all this Mess

Where Cyn ends and the Solver begins is one of the big questions of the show, and hopefully we'll get an answer eventually 🤔

I believe, since even Liam Vickers himself adresses the AS as Cyn, they're pretty much merged into one being now. Cyn's OG personality is probably the reason why the AS wants to keep N, V and J around as it's fighting force. Cyn probably felt some kind of closeness to them since they were thrown away before and close to Tessa, just like she was. I also think she really DID care about N *before* the solver fully took over and twisted those thoughts into something, uh, creepy. I don't think the current Cyn(AS) could care less about N's physical well being, but more so the *idea* of N. The "loveable big brother figure who loves doing anything". That's why she keeps saying stuff like "I have backups", it really doesn't matter which N is with her as long as the personality remains the same. So basicly, the AS emerged inside of Cyn and the mutated program eventually merged with the host, having some of her quirks and thoughts but in a more fcked up way.

I’m fairly sure that the drone at the bottom of the pile is labeled “Cyn” on their armband.

I think N, V and J have white eyes while the rest of the Elliots drones have blue eyes because the blue-eyed drones were bought/acquired normally, whereas the trio and Cyn were found and repaired by Tessa. Those drones also are lacking hair/wigs and arm bands which N, V, J and Cyn all have. Edit: I also had a probably stupid thought about Tessa. We see that the absolute solver can turn metal and machinery into flesh at least somewhat, so... what if she did the reverse to Tessa, but left her "outer shell"/skin in tact?

Hopefully episode 8 will help clarify how much of it Cyn is control and the how much the absolute solver is in control.

Cyn was in episode 5 a little cutie! Tessa's parents treated her like trash just because she had some little flaws. Her relationship is also adorable, how she's sees him as the big bro. But sadly, it seems like the real Cyn is gone...❤

When Uzi decapitated N with the railgun in Episode 1, the phrase 'AbsoluteSolverString blocked by Administrator Cyn' appeared on N's vizor. I think Cyn had enough influence to prevent her favorite drone from being taken over by the Solver, even if she couldn't do much else. Imagine if all the theories are true and the solver has to fight NUzi, crab V, Nori, Cyn resisting it, and Doll's core fighting inside Cyn's body all at once.

It would be so funny and super sad if in ep08 they somehow patch cyn and the solver goes away and she's just left there being a scared girl, confused and shocked by what she was forced to do.

I feel like the solver still keeps Cyns personality and having her spectate the solvers actions, however the only difference is the voice being modified and the solver adding aggression to the OS personality, when reality Cyn is soft, kind and has your back you kind of person.

One of my current theories is that cyn was never a person. In the glitch x ask me anything, Liam Vickers explained the worker drones were not meant to be fully sentient. Instead, they occasionally gain sentience due to their ability to learn mixed with the unique circumstances they are in. He specifically mentions how the zombie drones from Elliot manor became sentient because Tessa interacted socially with them. Because Cyn developed solver infection before Tessa found her, it’s possible she never had a true personality. It is also worth mentioning how N, V and J are named after their serial designations while Cyn is named after her model number. This could be a hint from the writers that Cyn was never a unique individual since a drone’s serial designation is a code unique to that drone while the model number is shared by several drones. This would be like naming a character “Corpse” or “body”. Unlike N, V and J, Cyn is named after what she is, not who she is, suggesting she might just be an empty shell. Her arm band can be seen in episodes 5 and 7 with the serial designation missing. I can not say for sure if this theory is correct. Liam does describe regular worker drones as having “nerfed sentience” during the glitch x ask me anything, so depending on how advanced “nerfed sentience” is, she might have had a personality. Also, solver does talk to her when she reboots in the dump, suggesting there might be a person for solver to talk to. Over all, this is just one possible explanation I have come up with. I think it would be more interesting if Cyn was sentient though. But hey, that’s just a theory. A FILM THEORY! Thanks for reading.

Something that supports this theory is that the murder drones are based on vampires and the original concept of vampires is that you had to LET THEM IN TO YOUR HOME, they couldn't enter your home without your permission. In old vampire films like Nosferatu (1922) the vampire tricked the humans into inviting it into their homes so it could eventually attack them. The fact that the solver needed Cyn's permission when she booted up just supports this much much more.

i always think about what would happen if cyn was able to break free from the solver, would she try and fix things or just not give two flying fcks

Cyn is still out there though - in episode 1, when N is shot by Uzi, Cyn blocks the solver's administrative rights so that the solver doesn't take over him. This could mean one of two things: 1. Cyn is actively working against the solver, using her admin rights to protect disassembly drones from possesion and slowing down the spread 2. Cyn is doing this to help the solver. That sounds weird, I know, but if you look closely at the paper Nori shows N in episode 7, it talks about how the Solver doesn't want anymore hosts. The patch is a massive threat, because hosts could retain their powers and connection to the hive mind without the Solver knowing. That's how Nori still has her abilities even though the solver was unaware of her. The solver doesn't want any rivalry and so it send the disassembly drones to kill all possible hosts. Another thing is that the solver didn't infect Nori purposely. The humans gave her the solver, and although it says thanks for the new host, I think that's just because it thought the patch was already gone and so other hosts are no longer a threat. but idk prove me wrong if you want!

Would make sense what ''Tessa" said "took Cyn as a host" when talked to N in EP 6

At first I thought that when we meet Cyn the solver was already in full control, like we never actually met the real Cyn

Im very interested in how much of cyn is the solver and how much she still has left

That’s honestly what I’ve been believing for a long time. I really do think Cyn was a sweetheart but the Solver corrupted her by possessing her. Poor girl

Honestly, i think cyn's gone. She's pretty much dead. Of course, her body may have never "died" since she wasn't disposed correctly, but seeing how the trashing process works, i think she got most (if not all) of her software erased and some of her hardware corrupted, and through that the Solver found a way to take control. It's like formating a PC. I think that she's now nothing more than a body for the solver.

I hope in episode 8 everything will be explained to us

Could again just be the lighting but when Cyn boots up, her colouring is completely yellow, where in the Manor, it is a pale yellow. Could suggest she is partially in control, where upon booting up, the absolute solver was entirely in control (needing just her permission to fuse with her character). Also, this was actually a question I've had for a while. I kind of want to see, by the end of it all, Cyn herself completely freed of the absolute solver, and her worker drone OS back in control. Or perhaps she makes a last ditch effort, once the absolute solver is debilitated (following Uzi's intervention), to break free, turning herself into a murder drone or something. I would love to see her as a murder drone her OS still quirky and sometimes slow, like she glitches out or daydreams, and I feel like she'd be far more physically expressive (happy stims, waving hands, swaying etc.) than verbally, to show her as a complete opposition to the absolute solvers only verbal communication.

Goes well with her name. She made a deal with the devil and then it got twisted into her only being a host...

I ALSO THOUGHT CYN WOULD BE SO SWEET BUT THE SOLVER CHANGES THEIR PERSONALITY!

In episode 7, we can see Uzi taking control of “null” and it actually did something according to *uzi*’s feelings. Can you make a theory bout that

I decide rewatch few drone episodes and something that stick out to was fact Uzi absolute solver was set to false implying it was deactivated before as it should been set true originally. This implies someone deactivated it before Uzi was set inside worker drone body (due fact when see Uzi as baby the absolute solver was implied to already be active), but none worker drone would know how or why to do thus it has be human implying some human live a lot longer than other. This most likely ones like Intern who had suit on during core collapse as they would prevent them dying as quickly.

Please I’m so glad ppl are drawing more attention to this, I always thought that cyn herself was prob nice before she got fully controlled by the solver

One thing I'd like to note- the Disassambly Drones have pale/light yellow eyes, whereas Cyn and any possessed drones (Uzi and Nori) have deep yellow eyes. Idk if its really important, but its something I noticed

4:00 We can see the drone is labeled as "Cyn" on the dumpster, plus, on episode 2 we see a flashback of V with white eyes, so that's 100% Cyn when she was taken by the absolute solver x)

I actually think that the silver isn’t just itself but a combination of it and Cyn. Two half’s making that never should have been brought together to make whole.

The Absolute Solver said it was trying to fix J after she exploded. So it's possible that it can mimic the host to a degree. It mixed how J liked to mess with others in a sadistic way and even talked to herself a bit. Cyn has never been shown to act like that, so it was unique to J Solver.

Cyn is a good person when helping other people when overcoming arguments and other problems to themselves but to the solver,it has it's own plans to prepare the eradication and destruction of humanity and drones or the goodbye of the universe itself. Atleast,Cyn is not a bad person but can't take control of the absolute solver.

One little detail that I missed was when the lightning flashes in the flashback there is a frame where you could only see cyn's eyes and mouth, but black and she had the sharp teeth. Not new information or of any importance, just a detail I didn't see before

I like it that the solver sounds like those average google+Alexa voice, implying that the creation of the solver is much older than the creation of the drones, implying that JC Jenson knew the threat of the solver but couldn't do anything to stop it, but could only prevent it from taking over by spreading VHS tapes of it until they could find the technology to stop it, which they did... perhaps, a bit too late. That is......if the USB was the backup, and perhaps "S" is another eldritch ai programmed to neutralise the solver. Perhaps, S is the USB

When code flashes on trash pile cyn’s face, you can see the Absolute Solver saying the “will not discard” line

I have another theory. It mentions on the wall that Uzi goes to after the cave in from her solver, a Big Crunch. For those who don’t know, a Big Crunch is a universe ending event that is extremely rare. It reverses the expansion of the universe to cave in on itself. Now what does that mean? On the wall it said 87 days, weeks or years(idk) until this Big Crunch event. Another thing about the Big Crunch is it uses a huge amount of gravity to pull the universes expansion back in on itself. The supportive part I want to mention about this is that Cyn thanks N for quote: “Clearing the way on this planet.” Also in episode 6 while Tessa explains the aftermath of earth and the solver itself, the computer shows that Cyn has also destroyed the planets in other systems. Now again, if we look at earth from the live feed, Earth has been destroyed by the singularity which acts as a black hole from Uzi’s usage on the elevator in episode 6. Another support is that in episode 7 Uzi reversed the effect of the Null command causing a blast that made the area cave in. If Cyn is destroying all the planets in this manor, then it is likely that she is trying to destroy the universe by making it cave in. Idk if I’m right but I thought I ought to mention my thoughts. Have a great rest of your day!

I love thinking about the possibility that the slight amount of control cyn has over her own body might lead to a moment where cyn regains consciousness mid control of the absolute solver, possibly in a fight, saving whoever was fighting her in the first place

The absolute solver is kind of Chara in Undertale. For example, frisk has a yes or no question on losing her soul and giving it to Chara for her to be whole and have a body again. Maybe I’m stupid or sum but this kind of adds up to me in my little noggin of a skull lol

I always knew like at first before this she was like the normal adorable drone with a normal voice instead of a glitched on, as well as white eyes due to her being N's sister and him having white eyes, and also that she somehow contracted solver via theses ways: a(it brought her back from death, B(she contracted it like a disease from a glitch or being attacked by another drone with it give or take but c( she had it she was alive and started to lose her self and her sanity before finally it had her as its queen on a chess board

I'm re-comenting because I can't tell if I had accidentally deleted my previous one. I hope we get to see cyn fight the absolute solver. Kind of like a mind battle. Obviously with the help of nori and uzi. Who knows mabey we will get to see her like we see nori now. 😊

I think that during episode 8 or beyond, Cyn gets stabbed with the patch (rebuilt or a copy) and comes back as an ally to the protagonist like represented with the protagonists journey on Uzi's slideshow presentation on episode 1. Once in control of her body again Cyn would be able to inform the others of the solvers plans or just be as confused as they are about them. I could see a million ways this could play out but it might be possible that the real Cyn would be unconscious and would have no clue what the absolute solvers plans are.

this is actually kinda confirmed because the "marked for disposal" band on the drone that reboots in the pile of bodies is labled as "CYN".

I'm curious, did Uzi or Doll (or Cyn) directly attack Murder Drones with their Solver, ever? We know Solver hosts cannot directly attack other hosts, contrary to other normal individuals (like we see several times in the show). We know the Murder Drones have bits of the Solver in them. Would the absence of such direct attack kind of prove Murder Drones are Solver hosts?

My head cannon is that the absolute solver is like a jailbreak on a phone

really hope the actual cyn takes full control and destroys the absolute solver and we get to see her actually personality and she try’s fixing things she’s destroyed

I have a theory maybe n is the original solver? and the one that we saw from the drone pile was n because he’s the Proto drone because he’s more human than the others other than cyn

I think I believe this theory, because there was a scene where N says "oh OUR Cyn? Nah she's cool/okay" if I remember correctly

What I've always found interesting is how the other drones from the Manor--and who thus are connected to the Absolute Solver and the Disassembly Drones--all use single letter designation--N, V, and J--with the exception of Cyn. Even in N's memories the drones are all referred by their single letters.

Imagine Cyn takes control of her body again to fight the Solver

Hm, interesting, honestly I don’t really think this is that much of a Wild Theory at all, I could imagine this being the case and honestly, I would like that being the case, I wonder how a Solver-less Cyn would be like? Of course, i would like it if Cyn did turn out to still have similar mannerisms to how we first met her even without the Solver, since those mannerisms was part of what i liked about her, although i don’t really know how that would work, since those mannerisms seemed to work best with the way she was talking too and that way of speaking seems to be solely a Solver thing. Regardless, we’ll just have to see what will be the case.

The absolute solver was terribly programmed if it wasn't given hard-coding to never harm humans

This makes me wonder about J cause Im under the assumption that she doesn’t know tessa is dead and that cyn took her skin

That's actually a really great theory and now I want to see them find a way to save Cyn in Episode 8.

I love this so much for so many reasons and i was thinking about this too but when i tried explaining it no one understood and you put it in a perspective i never could have thought of Cyn is my favorite character and i love seeing more of ger but i couldn't help but feel like she's been the victim the whole time

1:05 Doll and Uzi both drag the bug around with the Solver, which wouldn't work if key bug had a Solver in it. Like Object Non Interactive.

I have a feeling that Uzi's kindness while being able to remain assertive is her greatest strength and will allow her to fight the AS effectively in the end. Also theorizing that she's gonna get a loooong time to catch up with her mom floating in space, and there will be a sort of training arc. Nori seemed completely immune to Cyn's possession while still being able to use the AS, Maybe this has something to do with her robot body being gone and only her heart remaining.

I absolutely adore murder drones it’s so phenomenal and I can’t wait for I believe the last episode of season 1

I wonder why the absolute solver tries to kill doll and uzi. It may be so that there can't be found a patch again. Or maybe the solver would have a different goal when awakened in another person?

As someone who has made a case on why cyn isnt the solver, yeah

2:13 an interesting theory about how the absolute solver works, but it does have some holes. 1) this doesn't explain why windows or symbols appear in the air around a host. 2) the core is the only thing needed for the power to work, as shown by nori, and its 'somewhat small. 3) the AS can't affect like objects, which if the power is generated by moving parts too fast, wouldn't be the case. This does play into my theory on how the power formed.

senses cyn wearing Tessa skin is her brain in a drone so cyn can keep her close

Episode seven made me scream I love Cyn and N and I don't wanna pick sides 😭

I think this is what happened.. Cyn was disposed incorrectly and once she realized the drones were getting discarded she said "We can no longer be, thrown out" Just like Uzi's screen healed with the solver in Ep. 7. that might've been how Cyn healed her screen. Her neck also seems to be loose and broken, as she keeps pushing it back up. What do you guys think? The tag on the drone that was thrown out also said "cyn"

I am SO GLAD that I found this video. My friends and I have been dying on this hill since getting them into this fandom. It was such a shame we were wrong on our hopes of Cyn coming back as she once was

Also in the scene where the drone in the junkyard is waking up, they show that it's wearing an armband that says Cyn, so we know for certain that's who it is

thank you so much!! silly me was struggling to understand the solver and cyns backstory

For the drone that wakes up in the pile of bodies, in addition to the yellow colored eyes, there is also an armband shown that has “Cyn” written on it, so it is indeed Cyn we see. This is a really interesting theory and I like the separation of Cyn and the Absolute Solver because then it’s been a calculating intelligence we’ve been seeing and not necessarily a drone that’s gone pure evil.🤔

It’s all a completely big mess Cyn is or was never ment for this or wanted this but this is the path she ended up on hubris and cruelty of the humans in the show most definitely helped in the solver ending up so monstrous

Cyn is basically the main host for the absolute solver and prob the AS took her body fully and now is a literal walking skinwalker

As I said last video, I bet she'll come back.

I adore your theories❤❤ expecially murder drone theories😎

I hope we can get more seasons...

this is such a good theory!

I find it interesting that when cyn rebooted she happened to have a hole in her screen that similar to how the usb is inserted

This seems like a season 2 plotline

I like the idea that the Solver's personality is almost entirely Cyn's, just more hungry (and therefore murderous). Cyn suddenly has all the power to get back at the humans who manufactured her people as slaves, and goes mad with it due to the influence of Solver. Gives tragedy to if she ever were to get free of Solver and see how she turned on the people who helped her.

I have an idea that the silver made a deal with cyn to help her butttt, over time Cyn started acting stranger and her eyes kept turning more yellow from white until eventually the silver took full control

I have a theory about Murder Drones, Cyn is only attacking humans because she thinks they caused an error in her removing her knowledge, thus causing her to experiment on V and then eventually N and J too to learn to eventually be able to disrupt physics, time, and space to seek revenge on humanity, and that she only attacks other Worker Drones not because she wants more of their Absolute Solver programs to reboot without full control of their Worker Drone OS but because she thinks they are all on the humans side as they helped the humans.

This a W theory tho. Also can't wait for episode eight already lol. Also props to the people who came when the video was uploaded less then a hour ago.

I would love to see the real cyn perhaps regain her body back in episode 8. who was concious the whole time the solver was using her body. Maybe even saw N, and could create some weird rama with Nuzi ( I dunno yall im just spitballing, im a hardcore Nuzi fan) But it would be interesting to see *the real cyn* as a character. Maybe her name was S??? I dunno.

0:32 me learning more about IT instead of my IT class

personally, I think there's something belong the Absolute Solver maybe something like a collective unconsciousness, I.e all worker drones that use the Aboslute Solver as a base may be connected to some wireless network where every drone is giving something of 0.01% of their processing power to it. after so long it developed into something conscious, however, no matter how smart it got (including creating mini-black holes from nothing) it had no experience with anything outside its digital. from time to time a drone may have to be booted up with the absolute solver unrestricted and it did make an attempt to get a physical but for whatever reason there needs to be very specific circumstances to grain a host body. (and going a be bit of a side tangent how many people thought it was very odd/creepy that Nori asked who's its host, not who is her host. like the absolute is something else.) so along comes Cyn a damaged drone that through some twist of fate gives her the offer to let it in and it will fix her. Now the thing could begin to learn about the physical and how people and drones interact. However, everything that it is learning to fed through a filter of Cyn's personal feelings and understanding. this may be why we have multiple copies of J, N and V because Cyn had deep feelings and connected to them. however, these filers may have resulted in some of the differences between the current version of the ones we saw in the flashback, where J may have about the company but was a good friend to Tessa or how V went from a simple maid (we really didn't get much of her personally in the flashback did we) to someone who embodies the phrase "let it burn". of course, these are just my thoughts and I might be in a completely different ballpark.

u know that in spooky month, Skid is the only one who wasn’t affected by the eye of the universe’s power?

Cyn seems something like an Anti-hero

it would be interesting to see more than one set of clones of N, J, V, Cyn and Tessa at a time

There is one things that confuses me about Cyn/The AbsoluteSolver. As we've seen, the Solver will use any drone it can get its hands on. On the other hand, Nori's notes in Episode 7 reveal that the Murder Drones were deployed to Copper-9 for the purpose of eliminating other potential Solvers hosts and that's where my confusion comes from. Does this mean the Solver willing to destroy other hosts on its own, potentially wasting valuable assets? Or is Cyn somehow acting independently of the Solver, and acting on a fear that if the Solver does take another host then she herself might be discarded?

To me episode 5 was a simulation of what could happen based on what did happen in the accounted memories. I say simulation, cause well, it didn't happen exactly as the memories are "inferred". N basically seeing disassembled versions of himself along with Uzi possessing the Eldritch Syn

In my honest opinion I think the Solver should loose, but also win. Like everyone thinking they have overcame it, but actually it was apart of its twisted game it likes to play.

I really hope N goes like insane and mad mode since all the people he cares about have gone 💀 so it'd be cool to see him fight or at least try to fight Cyn and do some damage, also I just have a small theory where Since Uzi got blasted into space her administration on n might be disabled so the AbsoluteSolver might be able to get full control of him without an administrator (also there's scene's in the end of ep.5 you can see on V and N's visor, and in ep.7 you can see after he gets hugged there Is a message on his visor.) So I kinda hope he murders a lot because of that, and maybe Uzi might come back and N might kill her. Also I think it'd be cool if maybe V was somehow alive but N kills her, and then maybe goes back to normal kinda like in an MD comic.

What if... Cyn KNOWS the Solver can be defeated with emotions and therefore made a 100iq move of letting N V and J keep their personalities, knowing eventually their emotions would control the solver (which happened with N in ep 1 when he was about to kill Uzi in front of Khan)

Still think that the Silver can create human part as in Episode 2

I think this was very obvious when we found out The solver was actually a separate entity and took Cyn as its first host

There is my theory!!

I already had that impression but I think I just assumed other people knew. 😐

What if Cyn is actually okay with being controlled, like some strange kink?

I wonder if we get a season 2 it will follow the solver probably after it “dies” but wakes up in a backup cyn or another drone! That would be interesting

I hope one day we see the real Cyn…

I always thought cyn was going through the solver because it’s in the drones already

There has been one thing that stuck out to me and thats tessas sentence in episode 6 to baou ( whatever his name is ) which is "little buddy, you'll get red and sad if you try that with me." a little while later after the robot dino bit tessas arm it turned red. so is the red eyes on yeva and doll related to yeva hurting a human and getting red eyes which got passed down to doll or was it just a coincidence in design? if it wasnt a design coincidence the why didnt the murder drones on earth go red or like N going red in ep 7 after slicing her head off
