Nuziv is the poly ship between Serial Designation N, Uzi Doorman, and Serial Designation V from the Murder Drones fandom.
Canon[]
Nuziv’s overall relationship with each other had many ups and downs, but at the end of the day they all care for each other and place their trust within each member to ensure their survival and safety from the AbsoluteSolver and upcoming threats. They all sought to eliminate Cyn’s unknown agenda which could result in the destruction of the universe, according to their human comrade, Tessa.
Pilot[]
After Uzi causes N to lose his memory, he assumes that Uzi is a new squad mate and introduces himself and his team to her. A flashback plays and it displays V violently dismembering and brutally murdering innocent Workers, even claiming she feels zero remorse for her actions. N mustered the courage to speak to her only for it to be in vain as she recoiled. She rudely says “Who are you?”, not giving him the room to answer as she flies away. Despite this, N admits his secret over his crush on her to Uzi and trusts that the latter won’t tell V about this new information. Before their conversation can continue, they hear the footsteps of V and J returning to the corpse house, and Uzi quickly bolts.
As she is rushing back to the colony, V spots her from an alarmingly extensive distance and informs her team about it. To avoid exposing the fact that he had allowed a Worker to escape, he stammers over his lie that he needs to do something outside. He chases Uzi to her desired location. As Uzi desperately slams the key card to shut the door on the sensor, N lodges his bladed fingers into the cracks and forces it open by filling the lock with nanite acid. A massacre ensues, and Uzi, among others, flee from the rogue Disassembly Drone. Once her railgun is fully recharged, she whips around to point it at the attacker, only to discover his had mysteriously disappeared.
Khan enters the scene and assumes that Uzi had murdered his coworkers with her railgun. Before any words can be said, N suddenly drops down from a vent and creates a gap between the family. He claims that he truly enjoyed the friendly conversation Uzi and him shared, but he cannot allow Uzi to blast V with her railgun. Uzi is about to blast N again, but is restrained by his piercing wing and drops her weapon. N yanks it from her grip and tosses it towards Khan.
Uzi orders her father to shoot the attacker and save her, but is left abandoned as her father shuts the door, leaving the two alone. Both Uzi and N are shocked by this, and N realizes that they have a thing in common; lack of care from people they trust. J and V suddenly arrive, thus N tosses Uzi to the side to hide her. J congratulates N for not being useless as he normally is alongside V. N is surprised that V had remembered his name.
V is overly excited by their successful invasion and makes their job of killing a game, explaining that whoever has the lowest kill count eats a missile before swiftly departing through a vent. As J is about to join her, N uses Uzi’s argument and questions their home company, JCJenson, for their actions. Uzi is surprised, and closely listens to their conversation. J is enlightened that she finally has a reason to harm her squad mate and injects him with a virus before departing to join V. Uzi emerges from hiding and N apologizes for murdering her kind and causing Khan to abandon her for dead. She indirectly apologizes for getting him to behave like “an angsty teen” and getting him injected with the virus. Nonetheless, she considers it a draw between their harmful deeds. She attempts to escape without him. Realizing she has no luck, she resentfully fixes N from his current condition.
Uzi, N, and V after N and Uzi stopped V from murdering everyone
The trio first directly collide in the same room after Uzi rescued N from his demise as he was under the influence of J's virus. They prevent V and J from massacring the Workers in hiding in an extensive storage room and quickly engage in battle. N is forced to target V due to Uzi already damaging J greatly, and the conflict is ceased with V, Uzi, and N alive whereas J's upper body was obliterated by Uzi's railgun. Uzi expresses her disdain and disappointment in her father after he had decided to allow Uzi to perish in the hands of N instead of rescuing her with her railgun that would undoubtedly keep N stunned long enough to give Uzi room to escape. She then banishes herself from the colony, and the trio swiftly exit the building, though V was forced due to being restrained.
Heartbeat[]
The trio are found residing within the corpse house, and N violently awakens from a supposed dream, when in reality it was a brief flashback to his past as a former Worker Drone. He decided to join V and Uzi inside of the crashed landing pod, in which the two females were conversing about Uzi's "strange symbol" much to Uzi's annoyance and disdain. V constantly attempts to threaten to disassemble the latter and makes purposely harmful remarks and statements. When N enters, Uzi forcefully places a pilot pin that has been accidentally removed from N's cap. She asks if he was aware that he was wearing a pilot hat, and N is surprised that he was the one piloting the ship and expresses excitement that abruptly shifts to realization that he was responsible for crashing the pod and leaving his squad mates stranded on Copper 9. Nonetheless, he is satisfied that they had found a factor of his origin and gestures finger guns at V, in which the latter threatens him by pointing her bubble wand as if it were a weapon and hisses at him.
N, Uzi, and V conversing about communications and JCJenson
He quickly backs off the gesture and changes the subject to mention Uzi's ultimate plan to end all humanity on Earth, and questions if that is really considered "morality". Uzi rebuttals and points out that JCJenson, the home company responsible for drones, have sent the Disassembly Drones without a communication relay and reformatted their memories to ensure the wipe out of Workers on Copper 9 operates smoothly whilst simultaneously covering their tracks.
N backing Uzi away from V after the latter got too close
Uzi claims that these two actions prove they are past the means of negotiation, and expresses anger towards them for the murder of her mother. V abruptly jumps in and defends the company by claiming that Workers are "problems" and deserve to be eliminated, and that Uzi has no proof of origin claiming otherwise. As N slowly drags Uzi away from V's uncomfortable and dangerous proximity, he identifies that J was getting orders from someone, and if Uzi's statement is correct and they do not have communication through the relay, who is demanding orders and how. Uzi is visibly frustrated and complains that he is complicating her murder plan. N attempts to console her by patting her head, only for this gesture to be in vain as she slaps his hand away.
After the events of the encounter of Eldritch J, N returns to the landing pod without Uzi where V was forced to stay in due to being restrained. He hides in a corner, upset due to Uzi currently being afraid of him, and V complains that she has to suffer through the pain of his shattered friendship. Despite claiming that she hates being in the painful atmosphere, she kicks her destroyed chain to the side to make it appear as if she does not have the capability to escape out of hidden compassion.
The Promening[]
Uzi bears immense guilt for shoving N away, and it lasts throughout her hours of school. With unfortunate news for Uzi, Khan forbid her from visiting N and V again and instead desires her to prepare herself for the prom. He invites Doll and Lizzy to assist her, and Uzi is distraught. The young female Workers enter Doll's abode and Uzi prepares her dress in the restroom. The scene cuts to V and N's conversation in the pod, and N, under the orders of V, flew outside the area to find attire for the Worker's prom. Although he expresses desire to be a dapper, he resists and mentions that V and him are too dangerous and has a brief flashback to the painful memory of Uzi cowering at the sight of him.
Despite this, V is content with this statement and claims that it is part of the plan. She explains that they arrive in the colony well prepared and fashionable. Uzi will accept them and allow them to enter because, according to V, it is due to the latter not having any friends. Once they successfully enter, the two will murder everyone, Uzi included. N immediately is against this and asks if V is even slightly concerned on what they truly are despite supposedly being created to crave murder and destruction. This causes V to go silent, and she asks N to stop prying into their origins alongside Uzi. Doing so, she overhears Lizzy and Doll's conversation and is aware that Lizzy had invited V to the prom.
Returning to Uzi, the young female Workers enter Doll's abode and Uzi prepares her dress in the restroom. Doing so, she overhears Lizzy and Doll's conversation and is aware that Lizzy had invited V to the prom. Uzi is immediately shocked by this, and she sought to prevent V from entering at all costs. She bumps into N on her dash to the corpse house in hopes of arriving in time to confront V, and the two exchange awkward speeches. Uzi finally apologizes to N as he is about to leave her under the assumption she hates him now, and the two rekindle their close and only friendship.
V had already entered the colony and made a grand entrance on stage. Everyone is horrified by her mere presence. She pulls out weaponry and was nearing to ensuing her massacre but is distracted by Lizzy's surprising statement that V won as prom queen. V is oddly joyous about this, and decides to prolong the starting time of her original plan to bask in the attention. As she was about to give her speech (and is notably nervous) Doll engages in her assassination plan before Lizzy can change her mind and stop her.
N and Uzi protecting V from Doll
V is restrained by pipes, and before meeting her demise, Uzi and N appear on the scene and defend her from Doll. A battle ensues, and as Doll aims a weapon of spinning blades towards the two friends, N shoves Uzi off stage to protect her and V and him are struck by the blades, launching them backstage. As Uzi pursues the fight with Doll, V and N are regenerating from their injuries with the help of Lizzy. As Uzi is almost dismembered by knives, N is the first to appear fully repaired and assists her. The two manage to stun Doll for a short period, and before the antagonist could perform another attack, she receives a surprising bullet to the head by V.
Uzi is angry about this since they needed Doll for further answers to the origins of the AbsoluteSolver. This causes N and V to argue and blame each other for this unfortunate encounter. They decide to enter Doll’s abode, where they find the corpses of Doll’s family perched on the dining table. N realizes that the woman he has a crush on “kinda sucks” because of her lack of morality and guilt for the murder of Doll’s parents. Suddenly, Doll cheats death and appears noiselessly. She removes the bullet lodged in her skull and attempts to blast Uzi, only for the latter to stop the attack mid air with her own Solver. Doll then begins to apologize and claims once she is done with her task she will assist in helping Uzi finish hers.
"I HATE IT HERE!"
Before any more words can be said, V, out of defense, launches a missile towards the red eyed Worker. The attack failed to hit her, and the trio are left alone once again in the room.
Cabin Fever[]
A class field trip is hosted and V and N are the camp counselors. At first, everyone is terrified by their presence, but Thad and Lizzy walk up to them fearlessly and show that the opposing drone species are on good terms. Nonetheless, the students are still hesitant, so Uzi speaks up and bashfully explains that they are friends with the Disassembly Drones as well. Her plan works in a way she doesn’t want; the students run up to the Murder Drones out of sympathy due to their negative and fearful opinion on Uzi and assume they are defective for being friends with her.
Uzi then gestures at N that signifies that she is going to leave to investigate further into the campsite, and N nods. During her investigation, she is inside an abandoned building and hears a scream outside of the window. She peers outside and notices that the Workers are, shockingly, having fun canoeing on ice with V and N. Staring in sadness, her AbsoluteSiolver accidentally breaks the window, and she attempts to grab the oil of a dismembered arm from Doll’s house in a panic. However, she begins to hesitate to do so. As soon as this happens, V arrives to her location at an alarming speed, causing the young Worker to kick her bag to the side to hide her need for oil.
V approaches her in a threatening manner, and demands her to continue looking around for Doll instead of staring at the campers through the window. Uzi expresses her jealousy towards the Disassembly Drones for getting along more well with her peers than her. V abruptly holds her nanite tail dangerously close to Uzi’s head and continues to threaten Uzi to stay distant from the others considering that Uzi is her next target for murder. Before leaving, she states that N has made friends with rocks, and with Uzi dead, he will move on without a problem.
Uzi, upset by this encounter, brushes it off and continues to roam around, eventually discovering a key bug. Returning to the group, she signals N from a distance using the keybug’s floating text. N accidentally announces Uzi’s presence before realizing his mistake, and she is forced to come out from hiding. Naturally, the students are in a panicked state from her mere presence, and one peer accidentally releases an arrow towards her from flinching. Uzi ceases the arrows movement with her AbsoluteSolver before mutating hit without her control into a squirming, fleshy mass. Realizing her horrifying capabilities, she grows more panicked and petrified. V unhesitantly proceeds to whip out her blade appendages and attempts to go after Uzi after the latter dashes off into the woods. N stops V from hurting Uzi regardless of the latter rebutting. He loudly scolds her before heading out to find Uzi himself. Once he is out of sight, V tells the campers to do whatever they want and enters the woods as well.
V glancing at N and Uzi sleeping
After Uzi’s dreadful transformation, she engages in a massacre against her peers. Before she could successfully murder and consume Lizzy, V steps in swiftly and blocks her attack and repels her further away from V and Lizzy's proximity. Uzi regains consciousness for a moment and begs for V to spare her. V calls Uzi “Cyn” much to the latter’s obliviousness to this person. She asks in a pleading voice if she can talk to N, only for it to be in vain as V is determined in her task to murder her. A battle ensues, and Uzi nearly perices V with nanite acid before swiftly being stopped by N. She stabs his hand with the acid instead, and this action reawakens Uzi after realizing the harm she inflicted on her friend. N launches her far into the sky and scolds V for antagonizing Uzi. V complains that he always takes Uzi’s side before he flies into the air to join the Worker Drone. After the two come back down, V witnesses a stable and calm Uzi and backs off from attacking. When everyone enters the bus to return to the colony, the teacher questions V on why a large number of students are missing. She briefly looks back towards Uzi, who is napping on N’s shoulder and takes the blame for the former’s murders, claiming she gets hungry.
Home[]
Uzi in her room with an unconscious V and N
Uzi becomes the admin of both N and V and delves into their memories. She finds N being punished by the Elliots by being chained outside to be pecked by crows. Albeit this, he is enjoying the company of these animals. Suddenly, one of the crows becomes possessed by Uzi, and she unchains him from his predicament. She explains she is from the future considering that N is completely oblivious to who she is. As they roam the mansion, they find a basement marked with several crude Absolute Solver symbol drawings. An immobile V stands in front of it. Gently pushing her to the side, N attempts to open the basement but fails to. He realizes that J has the key and is interrupted by maniacal laughter. The duo looks towards V’s direction and notices her visor bears the “X” symbol and her hand has been mutilated to a bladed weapon.
The scene cuts to J and Tessa, and the duo find N and Uzi in hiding with V’s smashed glasses lying ahead of them. V’s controlled body crawls on the ceiling and the group huddles together. Uzi steals the key from J before returning to rest on N’s head. Alarmingly, V swoops down atop of them and causes everyone to spread apart. A battle ensues, and Uzi and N head for the basement. Before they could enter, Cyn appears and launches Uzi outside the window, leaving N alone as he is nearly harmed by the eldritch being.
Uzi, however, easily possesses the eldritch body instead and the reunited duo continue their investigation. Once doing so, they discover N’s beheaded body, revealing that Cyn is transforming him into a Disassembly Drone by rearranging his parts and mind. Uzi loses her control on the eldritch body due to being interrupted by her father, and the AbsoluteSolver restrains N in a chair to perform the “surgery” again to eliminate his memories of the predicament. It attempts to pick up the surgical items with its clawed appendages to no avail and uses V’s body instead. V comically also continues to fail to pick it up, allowing N stalling time to remove V’s glasses from his chest pocket. V does successfully pick up a sharp item, but as N consoles her and converses about golden retriever facts, she is freed from the control of the program. Acknowledging this, the AbsoluteSolver pins her to the ceiling to restrain her, continuing the operation itself.
Uzi and N checking on V
Cutting back to Uzi, she is pursued by Doll who is trying to forcefully steal the key bug from Uzi’s possession. Not wanting to hurt N, she gives up and hands it to her before logging back onto the memories. She gains control of the eldtritch’s mind once more and frees N and V. N finally recognizes Uzi and calls her out to identify her. He thanks her for her help, but V in contrast screams at her for invading her mind and demands Uzi to leave. The Disassembly Drones reawakened and V and N exchange embarrassed glances at each other. V angrily stares back at Uzi who has a devious expression and threatens her with a chainsaw. The two leave the colony to discover Tessa, Doll, and J chatting. Everyone exclaims in surprise before the episode cuts off.
Dead End[]
N, Uzi, and V cautious around a trap
Tessa, J, Uzi, N, and V converse with each other, allowing Doll to steal back the key bug from Tessa’s possession and beeline. A chase ensues and Doll successfully escapes by diving into a deep ditch. Tessa orders J to stay behind to defend them as the squad dive after Doll. Exploring the underground laboratory, a former subject, Alice, shocks everyone unconscious using a dismembered Disassembly Drone’s arm. V and Uzi are placed in the same operation room together to be lab rats for Alice, leaving Tessa and N in another room. After N and Tessa escape, they are provoked by Sentinels, and Alice entertainingly watches their struggle through security cameras.
Uzi desperately utilizes her Solver to free herself to save N, but as a result is fully possessed by it. The controlled Uzi combusts the control panel keeping the room locked off, allowing the Sentinels to enter and murder Alice. Beau is about to blast the attackers using a Disassembly Drone arm but decides to free V instead, resulting in them being murdered by a sentinel. V proceeds to remove Uzi's restraints Uzi and free her from the room. She places Uzi on her shoulders and locates Tessa and N. The two enter the scene where Tessa and N reside and demand that Uzi, N, and she leave. Noticing that N is refusing to follow, she grows skeptical of him as Uzi groggily awakens. When she does, she bounces off V's shoulders and rushes up to hug him once identifying he’s alive. Tessa proceeds to reveal the truth of the status of humanity and the AbsoluteSolver to V as she did to N.
N, Uzi, and V continuing their journey
The squad delve further into the underground building and sneak successfully past more Sentinels. They approach Doll’s bootlooped body and become suspicious. V immediately assumes it's a trap and jumps in front of Uzi, seemingly protecting her. Nonetheless, the latter pushes her away and attempts to utilize her Solver to only be quickly stopped by N and V. The two finally get in Doll’s proximity, and the red eyed Worker tricks them and removes the key bug from their possession and traps them in a room infested with Sentinels. However, V swiftly protects everyone and keeps the Sentinals at bay. Tessa, Uzi, and N enter the elevator, and as V is about to join them, her glasses are destroyed, thus she cannot join them without the high chance of being bootlooped. Acknowledging her predicament, she claims that she puts her trust in Uzi and causes the elevator to fall with everyone inside but her despite N’s desperate pleas. She salutes to them as the Sentinels close in on her, leaving her status unknown whether she is deceased or not.
Absolute End[]
V is revealed to have survived the Sentinel ambush an episode later, and she enters the hallway Uzi and N were hiding in to evade Cyn. They listen to V trying to call out to N, but before N could speak up to her, Uzi covers his mouth due to the possibility of it being a trap. V is presented with N's holographic form, and she begins to apologize for her constant dishonesty as tears begin to form in her eyes. The real N and Uzi realize that the Solver is attempting to lure V into a trap, and N shouts at V to stop. Because of this, the Solver pierces its hand straight through N, grabbing his core and dragging his corpse through the bars, revealing him to V. V is chased down as she and N's corpse are flown out of the building, leaving Uzi behind.
The trio prepared for the final battle
Cyn nearly devours N's core, but Khan saves him by closing a door on one of Cyn's appendages, pulling her back and causing her to lose grip of N's core. Thad throws down Uzi's railgun in hopes of returning it to her, but Cyn demolishes the structure Uzi was left in; she proceeds to attempt to murder V, but Uzi appears suddenly to dismember the appendage. She scolds Cyn, claiming that nobody else is able to traumatize the "weirdly hot robots" but her. She turns to V and flatly expresses that she is glad the latter had survived before the two of them exchange soft smiles, and a battle between them and the solver ensues. As J is about to decapitate Uzi when she is distracted by Cyn, N and V deflect J's attack and send her into a pit. The trio fight Cyn alongside each other. N suggests that he and Uzi should create a secret handshake to prevent them from being tricked by the Solver, and V eyes them in intense discomfort.
The trio's secret handshake
Eventually, in mid-battle, Uzi and N do engage their handshake, and Uzi fistbumps V, which causes the latter to recoil. The fight against Cyn goes on, and Uzi finally ends it all by ripping out and consuming Cyn's heart. V and N approach Uzi after she ends Cyn, and N is elated to see her in good condition. V slaps him to put a cease to his cheers, but instantly threatens Uzi with a gun upon noticing her partly yellow eyes. Uzi pushes her hand away, only for V to shove it back. Uzi abruptly grips N's head to view her new eyes in the reflection of his visor. She immediately adapts to this new feature of hers, calling herself a "damaged OC", treating it as an awesome trait to have.
The trio screwing around
V appears annoyed that Uzi is herself, but N grips Uzi into a cheerful embrace as V crosses her arms and glances away. Without her awareness, Uzi is tossed onto V's back and begins punching at her head playfully, cackling all the while. V and N are present during Uzi's class presentation. N cheerfully applauds for her as V boos alongside Lizzy. The credits roll, and it showcases V, Uzi, and N's many moments together.
Fanon[]
The trio wasn’t a popular ship when the pilot was released due to the lack of interaction between V and Uzi outside combat. This led to the more popular het ships Envy and Nuzi overcoming the poly pairing. Later, fans depicted a poly relationship where V and Uzi are giving all of their romantic affection towards N. It wasn’t until further episodes such as “Heartbeat” and “The Promening”, the episodes in which Vuzi increased in popularity and the poly relationship was more exploited that it began increasing in popularity; fanfiction and fanart depicted an even relationship between the three members.
Fans would conjure comics and or videos split evenly between Uzi and V expressing romantic attraction towards N, V and N expressing theirs for Uzi, and N and Uzi expressing attraction to V. In other cases, V is depicted as Uzi and N's third wheel, which applies to their canonical relationship. Platonic fanart depicts their friendship as friends taking on the world as they strive to protect themselves and each other from harm.
