i like how her only response to seeing a demonic cat is *cat*

Icon: “He’s probably thinking about other hands.” Max: “Why does my bike have a heartbeat?”

When the words on the vending machine flicker and change rapidly, they say: "Welcome Kirie [X] [X] " \_/ "Your flesh will be reformed anew" "We'll peel your apart your soul" "Come back to us Kirie Come back to us Kirie" Well that is ominous

"your scientist's were so preoccupied with whether you could you never stopped to consider if you should" -a really smart guy from a very good movie

You know it's Liam if they have: Girls with a huge smile A spoonful of edge A lot of funny

I like how when Icon blinks, it literally says "Blink" instead of her closed eyes.

I like how the usual "hit the seemingly pervert guy" is not forgotten, and the guy is bleeding until ep 3

7:09 Something I find funny about this moment is that IC-0n doesn't *have* a user manual. It's revealed in episode three that the administrator story is bullshit. Also worth noting that despite the fact that she believes she can't harm Max due to him claiming to be her administrator, she very much has, when she slammed him into the dirt just moments before this.

Icon: "the administrator would never hurt me" *blushes* Max: *taking notes* Notes: "cute af"

And remember kids, if you see little black cubes following non-euclidean physics, please do not touch them

Notice how when she tries to smile, you can hear her grunting, which implies she either doesn't know how to smile, or it hurts her to try

3:30 "911, whats your emergency?" "Help, my hand aint handing"

Did anyone order 15,000 spoopy cubes with a side of neck-breaking tonal whiplash?

"The Administrator would never... hurt...me... right?" Max: *visible conflict* THE ENTIRE FANBASE: *P R O T E C T*

Liam went from biological telekinetic Alien Parasites (Design), to Mysterious Technological matter manipulators (Internecion Cube), to An AI capable of telekinesis and manipulating matter (Murder Drones). As a long time fan, I love to see this process

Love that when she smiled creepily she just said good enough and left

The SCP foundation be like: *"Your anomalies. Hand them over."*

The original was cool and vaguely creepy, but this is a whole other level, it’s soooo good and creepy

4:55 I love how she struggles to smile and makes tiny noises as she is trying

6:43 That’s an amazing save, Max. Way to stop yourself from embarrassment.

"I could never harm the administrator!" Pans to brocken glasses , head caked in dirt and small dent in the ground

"You've got a hand thing?" "Yes, specifically yours." damn my boy really just wants to live a quiet life huh

Ok, ok, I just noticed that when Kirie orders a snack, the vending machine flashed "Welcome Kirie" with lets-be-honest IC-0n's face, "Your flesh will be reformed anew", "We'll peel apart your soul", and "Come back to us Kirie" twice. Is Kirie a prototype of sorts of IC-0n who somehow managed to escape? Im the first episode IC-on mentioned future designs of her, and labeled herself as the first. Who's to say there weren't alpha and beta versions already out, running around, and causing chaos. How many IC-on...s are there??? Someone who has more time and is willing to start theorizing please take this. And yes I did step through each frame at 0.25 speed. Edit: When her eyes turn into box-ed X-s, is that IC-on, or some prototype taking over? The POV of sorts of her vision showed what could only be unstable/incomplete vision, but she bled, and has (or had) bones? What is Kirie!?!?!?!?!?!? Also IC-on's face. Also I don't think this is a dream, rather a memory. She has a photo labeled "Class of 2038". indicating she has lived a normal human life at some point.

“Welcome, kirie. Your flesh will be reordered anew, We’ll peel apart your soul, *Come Back to us Kirie.* That snack machine knows something’s up.

Scp and Portal just had a baby and goodness it is terrifying.

To be completely honest, for me this is just as engaging and entertaining as a fully animated episode.

"why this is purely, sexual?" *man really just taking risks in is life* 💀

"we'll peel apart your soul come back to us kirie" in the vending machine was a nice touch

“Like it or not, I can’t hurt the administrator” *has just dunked the administrator into asphalt*

"This isn't scientific its...sexual" while making her blush i didn't ask for romance with dark comedy sci-fi but now i want more

Nobody... Literally nobody... Kirie: *C A T*

Liam: *uploads* Thousands of people: we have been awakened

"This was just purely.... sexual?" Brilliant.

Still one of the coolest concepts for a series up there with hazbin hotel.

4:53 I like the little details, like how you can audibly hear kirie struggling when she's trying to smile.

I love how you balance hilarious comedy and deeply disturbing horror while also having an adorable, murdery character. I'm already in love with this series. Also I'm begging to think Liam has some kinda weird eye thing.

"I cant harm you directly unless your access in revoked" she says right after slamming him into the ground

1:53 Somehow the way the in murder drones ep 2 how the guys in the Mansion look like the black glitchy guys here,even how the robot hid behind someone's leg is similar to this

6:25 I love how goofy that moment is just like "oh wait their awake"

I really hope those three guys in the van are recurring characters, they're hilarious!

“Welcome Kirie Your flesh will be reborn anew We’ll peel apart your soul Come back to us Kirie, come back to us Kirie,” this is what the vending machine said. Okay, considering what that means, along with Ic-0n’s bizarre cube heart, I think the interconnection cubes are made by taking the flesh of a person and reforming it into a new body. Kirie narrowly survived this happening to her, which I’m guessing has left such an impact on her psyche she’s even obsessed with the cube. In the last episode Ic-0n mentioned newer models of herself, and pair that with the mysterious elongated skeleton that was behind Kirie, it could be possible this facility is using inhumane experimentation to create these devices.

This guy is no joke. This guy should be taken seriously. Im so glad SMG4 and kevin found this guy and let him make a series.

This entire thing is great. “This isn’t scientific, it’s simply… sexual” that was hilarious

The part where Icon questioned if he would hurt him, and then his eyes faded into his glasses. Is highly disturbing, because it shows that he’s willing enough to hurt/kill Icon for his research, or objective. *IT ALSO MEANS THAT THERES SOME JUICY CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT COMING UP... MMMMMMMMMMMNNNNnnnn....*

i love how her blush is litteraly the word "blush" like an AI command

I have to say I love the animation and just how absolutely creepy the design is. I'd love to see this fully animated.

God damnit I can’t get over how great you create the atmosphere of these. It’s the silent fear of these animatics that make them so amazing. Instead of dialog you let the unsettling images and thoughts scare the viewer. The fact that this is an animatic and not a full blown animation baffles me. This is amazing!

The vending machine said “we’ll peel apart your soul” how lovely Edit: it also said “come back to us kirie come back to us kirie”

I'm glad you're not dead, you come back every 300 moons.

4:55 this sold me on the character, her extreme struggle to smile makes me really like her.

4:05 why does this feel like a separate mood

IC-0n: i cant harm you directly unless your access is revoked Max: so are we gonna ignore the explosive compound you injected me with like 10 minutes ago

For those on mobile or otherwise unable to frame-by-frame through it at 2:13 the vending machine reads out, in order "Welcome Kirie :) Your flesh will be reformed anew we'll peel apart your soul Come back to us Kirie Come back to us Kirie Dispensing..." at 6:15 IC-0n's face reads "Data recovery failed- Log#: (a very long number I won't transcribe, but it might be a code) Operation string (God Mind) not found Reverting to Program Error_ Scrubbing connections Writing recovery drive (100%) complete Program start //: "IC-0N"" Also, another small, but potentially meaningful detail: the labels on the items in Kirie's freezer refer to parts of human organs. If you're on desktop, you can frame-by-frame through a video by repeatedly pressing the > or < keys (for forwards and backwards, respectively). A very nice episode! You really seem to downplay it in the description, but you're getting a lot of mileage out of a "rough black and white storyboard". Looking forward to more, if you're looking to do more.

i refuse to believe kirie's father just called his co-workers "completely useless team". that's a report to HR waiting to happen

The way he looks down at the end is almost saying “I know what I’m going to do is wrong and I am ashamed of it but what choice do I have”

The ending is literally, “I switched over to porn because that was easier to explain.”

Internecion? Whats that mean? "Internecion: Mutual destruction: massacre." ...huh.

Why does Liam always make the best things and say “lol this wasn’t ment to be anything big lol cya I won’t make an episode ever again lol”

7:26 Wait, isn't that the glasses V wore in episode 6?

The fact that Max didn't answer Icon's question about not hurting her kinda worries me

“I’m just having fun making wacky cartoon content” *Looks back at hands viscerally melting together and the massive elongated skeleton* Yep, wacky cartoon content. This is great though, and even if it remains as a rough board that may never get fully completed it is already really damn good

6:30 When combined with the other memes, like the Stockholm one in Episode 3, this scene explains exactly what Liam was thinking when he created Ic-0n. I like how she thought Max was trying to penetrate her in her sleep💀

So neat you can see what became murder drones here

I love the way some scenes are just a couple photos and others are animated, the mixture is stunning!

if i'm reading the code on IC-0n's face correctly, she is currently operating in a 'safe mode' (she's nerfed basically) because of data corruptions. she is also missing the Operating String 'God Mind', which implies her mental capacity is stunted as well.

"She's adorable. Hans no way you played a part in that". I see that they are very close friends

I like how when the heli is ripped apart and reassembled the agents in the van are like" well would you look at the time I better go"

Definitely getting some vibes for murder drone inspirations here!

"EVIL NEVER SLEEPS!" *Dark Souls boss music*

note on night stand: Remember: -Breathe -Blink -Misspeak/Falsify So uh she doesn't NEED to breathe/blink and has problems with saying anything other than raw facts? Sees Undead/Daemon/Infected cat: "CAT" i mean you aint wrong but i think there is more there. *Crazy Smile* *INSANE GRIN OF TERROR* *Thumbs up* perfect

nobody boutta talk abt the fact the vending machine straight up said “Welcome Kirie [X] [X] \__/ your flesh will be reformed anew, we’ll peel your soul apart, come back to us Kirie come back to us Kirie” and just was like “I didn’t say anything heres your drink”

"Am I still going to explode" calmly

Helicopter + two humans = a bike Me: yeah make sense

This can, ABSOLUTELY, be so good or even better than Cliffside Please, stay with this project, cause I know for sure I'm not the only one who think that

1:33 Judging by the image, Icon has her own dedicated chamber where she probably could do what ever she wanted, as long as she does not terminate any employee at the facility.

Internecion Cube might be one of my favorite properties that never was. It's got a little Half-Life/Portal vibe, some uncomfortable, casual body horror, and a general air of uneasiness. Bits of it almost feel like Silent Hill. And then it abruptly shifts into cringe UwU, which again abruptly shifts into sincere vulnerability. There's a dark, grimy, horror undercurrent to all of this that I *love*. And a rawness here that isn't *quite* present in the other works. I guess what I'm saying is the shy child frantically trying to remove the mystery nano-machines sticking to her hands and pealing all the flesh off her bones is something that stuck with me.

First: Creepy backstory. Secound: Cute. And On the end: Can't wait for all episodes

IC-0n : The Administrator wont hurt me right? Max : ... *silence* Me : Somethings wrong i can feel it

2:25 took me over 4 years to notice that Cliffside refrence.

2:52 never have i ever had to pause something cause it scared me. this was unsettling in the best way possible and i love it and wish more things were like this

She has pictures of Max with other girls, who've been crossed out, and she's trying to smile like a girl that Max was hugging around her shoulder in a picture... Yandere Alert, anyone?

Who ever is coming up with these shows has a thing for crazy girls

One more video before bed The video: Now I have a fear of cubes 😊

A friendly reminder make sure if you built something powerfully make sure you have a plan to counter it

03:38 YO. This girl going to bed with her mascara still on?

IC-0n: /slams administrator's face into the pavement, sending blood everywhere/ IC-0n: Oh yeah, I can't hurt you cause you're my admin.

Wow! This is so great! The first part (dream/recall) is absolutely amazing! This definitely should be made into full-quality series! Because this is a one of the best ideas, i've seen during past few years. (And please - do not sell this to Netflix!)

Yeah, you can definitely see the influence this had on Murder Drones. Very cool!

Legend says theres a part 3 Also: the bad thing is its raining over here

The prophecy has being acomplished, liam vickers subbed a part 2 of somthing on youtube, this series is the chosen one

Man, the character writing is great. He's like an even more geeky Callum, and she's some sort of weird tsundere-Toph hybrid

7:23 THE GLASSES V WORE IN EPISODE 6???

All the clues I gathered so far to understand Kirie's condition (please pardon my typos, I'm french, I tried to not leave a lot of those tho, SPOILER : very long comment) : At 0:24 a beast has been freeshly killed, leaving only a skeleton to the crows, I can assume that because of the blood on the carcass. So when you slow down the video to the max you can actually read on the dispensing machine form 2:12 to 2:14 : -Welcome Kirie =) -Your flesh will be reformed anew -We'll peel apart your soul -Come back to us Kirie come back to us kirie -Dispensing... when Kirie is looking at her father, the face is blurred out and the words : "error analysing memory corrupt" can be seen and a frame replace the face of her father by the murderous AI smile When Kirie is looking at her dad coworkers their face is also blurred and the same "error analysing memory corrupt" can be seen plus "*n***ception ha**oc***ed" and "a***xce****n **s o*cur**" then repeating "*n***ception ha**oc***ed" and then "an e***ption ha* *c***ed" witch can be deduct to say "an exception has ocured" the exeption being the name Cleo. When kirie wake up, you can see all sort of informations related to the incindent : -Like the time incated by the giant counting down clock in the facility wich was 84(day):09(hour):31(min), forshadowing some kind of event in the future. -She has notes containing the first name her dad used to refer to the employe of the facility indicating that she is looking for the peoples that where there the day of the incident. -A poster and a map showing the name "Eisenhower Tunnel" is the name of the tunnel used to enter the facility, the poster show that the tunnel got demolished in 2033. -There is also a school class photograph featuring her and Max, dating from 2038, since she was in the same class as Max it's safe to assume her to be around 15 years old, meaning that she was around 10 years old when the tunnel was demolished asuming the photo is from the present year or the last. It's also safe to assume that she does know max since they where in the same class for at least a year. But it look like she was younger than 10 years old during the incident so I asume that the tunnel was not demolished because of the incident. -A note show the logo of entrance A, at the begining you can actually see a droplet falling to the ceilling into a puddle, the liquid then slide in a water drain under the entrance A, during the incident the cubes materialise from droplets, so maybe the murderous A.I. sneak in the facility by following the water evacuation system. -Unknown medications are on her night table, maybe sleeping pills ? -Finally there is notes on the wall to make remember to breath, blink, talk and write with a pourcentage of failure, to eat and to figure out how to smile because it's "anti-disturbing" Then later in her freezer there is labeled container such as "Mycardium" or "Interventricular" witch are heart components In the mirror scene, she is most likely "figuring out how to smile" by looking at the smile of Max in the photo that she has pinned down here and seem to think that she is doing a good job at it since the thumbs up at the end of the scene. Her cloth seem to show that she is going to school. At 6:15 when IC-On wakes up you can read on her face : Data recovery failed- Operation string [god mind] not found reverting to program _ERROR_ Scrubing conections Writing recovery 100% complete Starting program //: IC-On INITIALIZING... CORRUPTED Booting in safe mode 99%=> ERROR=> 99%=> ERROR She wake up crying then blink and the tears desappear, I suppose her sleeping mode is a way to attempte to fix the errors she is showing. With all of the above I think the Kirie incident was not planned by the facility even if they do seem suspicious. I think Kirie is no longer Human, but rather that she fused with the AI of the incident, meaning she don't need to breath, eat, blink and such but has to remember to in presence of other to avoid raising suspicion toward her. Maybe she is the only one aware that the incident ever happened, nothing is explained as to what happened to the house she live in or her parents, this could mean that she killed them under the A.I. influence. I think that the fact that the AI is blocking part of her memory is proof that she is resisting it and looking for help hence her looking for the employes of the facility. The heart components in her freezer could be to apease the blood thirst of the AI and allowing her to resit the AI influence ? Also maybe the cat is as much alive as she is, or he could be a source of food for the AI that use it without killing it until his death will be inevitable, I can assume this since there is other animals skeleton in the house. Her demonstrating such interest toward Max could be because her AI is program to kill him and recover IC-On or rather during the incident Kirie droped the cube, then could IC-On be that same cube and the reason why she is interested in him is because he is the administrator ? What ever it is, Liam Vickers, your doing an amazing job, your stories Idea are really interesting and I really love your art style. I can't wait for more, I really hope you will do more. I do have a question if you ever read this, what is the company your working for and what project did it produced ? I am interested.

2:13 ... "Welcome Kirie :)" "Your flesh will be reformed anew" "We'll peel apart your soul" "Come back to us Kirie, come back to use Kirie" That is the most evil Vending machine I have ever seen. Also loved the two episodes, keep up the great work!

“I can’t harm you directly unless my access is revoked.” Five seconds earlier

6:32 This Is A Certified "Well That Was Awkward" Moment 6:48 "This Is The Moment In Wich The Noob Realized He Fucked Up" Moment.

"I could never hurt the administrator" Administrator gushing blood: "Am I a joke to you?"

Okay, I gotta admit, as far as murderous androids go, Icon is kind of adorable. I'm really looking forward to learning these characters' backstories.

It is wild seeing the origin point of so many things I recognize from just having caught up on Murder Drones.

"Welcome kirie, your flesh with reform anew, we'll peel apart your soul, comeback to us kirie" I love little hints like this in stories. 20th time rewatching the 3 episodes now, and I love every single bit of it.
