- You know, you're one of the main reasons I wanted your team to retain your personalities. You always surprised me. Loved doing anything.
- —Cyn speaking to N before "hugging" him
NCyn is the family ship between Serial Designation N and Cyn from the Murder Drones fandom.
Canon[]
Heartbeat[]
After J violently kicks N to the floor, she begins to insult him before being cut by Tessa's presence that had entered the room. J quickly shows disappointment after her attention caught Cyn, upset that another Worker had been added to the manor. When N stood, his eyes caught Cyn as well, the latter returning his attention with a friendly smile.
Home[]

N conversing with Cyn
On the night of the gala, N bumps into Cyn in the bar room. Cyn asks if he is willing to attend the gala with her despite knowing how aggravated the Elliotts would react to this. Acknowledging what's best for the safety of him and the latter, he naturally declines the offer. His disagreement was in vain after he was convinced by Cyn's "puppy dog eyes". However, he explains that an action like this requires permission, and if their request was declined, he plans to host a movie night to replace the current event. When they meet with the Elliotts, Cyn almost immediately talks back to Louisa Elliott's offensive remarks towards Workers. To protect his "younger sister", N quickly takes the blame and receives harsh punishment in return, being chained up to a tree during a storm.

Cyn asks N to help her to get permission to participate in the gala
N later finds his past corpse lying beheaded in the basement, which is Cyn's timeout room. Upon stumbling upon it, Cyn discovers his supposed deleted memories potentially recovering, attempting to behead him again before they can return. However, due to her struggles in eldritch form, she fails to do so before his current body regains consciousness. According to Tessa, after Cyn's successful massacre upon the gala, she converted remaining Workers residing within the Elliott Manor into Disassembly Drones, including N. With the false memories of them never being Workers in the first place, she sends the killing machines to Copper 9, using false orders from JCJenson to exterminate Workers on the planet due to them being "corrupted" as a disguise for her true unknown intentions.
Dead End[]
When Tessa and N are left alone, Tessa explains to the latter that Cyn is merely a puppet for the AbsoluteSolver, and she had destroyed Earth along with the bio life inhabiting it. N is in disbelief and is visibly distraught, but is interrupted by a Sentinel who bootloops him. He eventually regains consciousness and is awakened to Uzi, Tessa, and V's presence. The reforged squad approached the elevator. They find Doll laying on the ground ootlooped, but nonetheless they gain a suspicion towards her. Once Uzi attempts to utilize her AbsoluteSolver to identify what they are about to walk into, N and V unhesitantly stop her, due to the truth of Cyn being revealed to them. Once they decide to approach Doll, they are distracted by her trap that has left them trapped inside an area contaminated with Sentinels.
Panicking, despite V and N's warning, Uzi tries to open the elevator with her Solver, but is quickly corrupted as a result. Unable to break free from the Solver's control, N slices her hand off. For a brief moment, Cyn presents herself in Uzi's body and faces N with a floating text box stating, "Did you miss me?".

Cyn "hugging" N to control him to join her side once more
Mass Destruction[]
When N's arm is handicapped by large rubble, he proceeds to slowly saw his limb off to release himself. As he does so, he is confronted by Cyn in the holographic of V in the latter's worker form, slowly waving at him. This causes N to panic and he desperately speeds up the process of freeing himself as she slowly approaches him, lamenting on how she misses him and how he had already surprised her in how he loved doing anything. He is also the reason why she had retained his squadmates personalities. She then rips him away from the rubble and pulls him into an embrace, forcing him to remember the day of his controlled influence on destroying Earth.
This hug was confirmed to be an attempt of causing N to rejoin by the Solver's side but he is saved by Uzi's position as the new administration. After the short flashback, Cyn drags him to the mine shaft with unknown intent before being stopped by Nori's heart. She continues to chase the duo at rapid speeds, but they easily escape once she didn't notice they hid in a corner.

"Thanks for clearing the way on this planet, too. Let's eat."
As Tessa is about to pierce Uzi, assumingly it would end in the latter's death, N threatens her with a bladed weapon of his own by pressing it against her neck, warning her to tell the truth of her intentions. Once Tessa plays coy, he unhesitatingly decapitates her. As N hands Uzi the crucifix patch, he grabs her hand to help her stand. Suddenly, she squeezes his hand aggressively and destroys the crucifix, revealing she is currently under the influence of Cyn. She pins him to a pillar with the intent of murdering him due to the latter constantly interfering with her plans, but is surprised by Nori, who she assumed was deceased. This aggravates her further and a fierce battle ensues.
During the battle, N and Nori initially had more power over Cyn, but Cyn's willingness to allow her host, Uzi, to perish during the fight quickly allowed her to overpower them. As she is about to devour Nori's heart, she is interrupted by N's confession stating that N and Uzi "kinda hang out". Nori is infuriated by this and slaps Uzi out of disappointment, causing her daughter to regain control over her body once more. As N and Uzi engage in a warm embrace, Cyn now out of options resorts to unveiling herself in her hybrid form; her drone body wearing Tessa's corpse. As she consumes Doll's heart, the reforged duo witness her in horror.

Cyn consuming N's neck
She mocks their initial obliviousness and swiftly bites N's neck and stabs Uzi to stun them. She sarcastically thanks for them for their short combat before dropping into the chasm, dragging Uzi and N alongside her. Despite this, N is the only individual who escaped from her grip due to Uzi's heroic gesture.
Absolute End[]

Cyn preparing to consume N's heart
After N and Uzi attempted to block the tentacles from thriving and consuming the planet, Cyn appears on one and destroys the "[null]" core that Uzi launched. She begins slowly walking towards the couple on the dock; she greets Uzi with a frown on her face but enthusiastically greets N. She claims that she is aware that N won't talk to her because she "hurt his feelings" as N points a weapon towards her, fear evident on his face. A battle engages, and Cyn removes Uzi's heart. N rescues her and faces Cyn alone. However, he is easily overpowered by her and pinned to his back on the floor. Cyn rapidly claws at his chest and begins to dismember him.
After Uzi rescues him, they are tossed below and enter a hallway to get away from Cyn and allow N to regenerate. Cyn swiftly follows behind them, but they have already found a location to hide in. She scans the area as N sits alongside Uzi cowering in fear as he recalls an image of Cyn (without Tessa's skinsuit) tearing at his body. Uzi and N hear V enter the scene, and N shouts at his friend to stop continuing with her speech due to Cyn's trap, which causes his heart to be yanked out of him. Cyn tosses N's corpse outside next to V; she holds up N's heart above her mouth, laughing maniaclly. Before she could devour it, Khan causes her to lose grip. A battle ensues between Cyn and J against V, Uzi, and N. When N is in the middle of his assault, Cyn projects puppy eyes at him to remind them of their past relationship as a distraction. Thankfully, Uzi steps in and performs an onslaught on her.
Eventually, Uzi consumes Cyn's core, labeling the former as officially deceased.
It is unknown if N formerly requited Cyn's view as siblings, for he refers to her as "Buddy" rather than "Sis".
Moments[]
- In Cabin Fever, upon touching the tape to the guide to attending Zombie Drones, Cyn is briefly present as a holographic figure, appearing to be chewing an organism while pointing happily at her mouth.
Fanon[]
Before Home became an official episode, Cyn's existence has been announced many times before being officially introduced to the audience. After Glitch posted an image of N and Cyn sitting together as a teaser for the release of "Home", it officially drove the fans to influence a ship. Fanarts of the romantic ship were often tagged with the "YellowNonsense" ship name coined in by @starquarck on Twitter/X.
However, they made an embarrassing mistake for shipping them romantically, ultimately realizing it after Cyn described N as "big brother" in the episode drop of Home. The majority fanart was removed by the artist themselves to atone for their misunderstanding, whilst others may still influence it as a romantic relationship.
The pairing was drastically viewed down upon due to Cyn's immoral actions towards N, humanity, and the Workers on Copper 9 as a whole. But what fans fail to realize is that Cyn is not the true perpetrator for the AbsoluteSolver's actions and is merely a feeble puppet and host for it. This explains why the Solver is referred as "Cyn" due to taking ownership of her body and conscious.
