Drone's are not always single-mindedly focused on serving and doing their programmed assignments. All the hustle and bustle of the AI directing their thoughts, never deciding what to eat, what to do, what to say, it can cause degradation in critical mental faculties, primarily in automation. A drone isn't useful if they get detached from the network and suddenly they don't have the capabilities to figure out how to get home or what to do. A sentient being can't remain as cattle indefinitely. So every day or so. The drones are released from their connection to the hive and requested to simply enjoy their day. Drone 126 is taking advantage of this by going out to have a nice surf. Of course I really wish he would wear a body suit or something to hide the mark. It would cause a lot of suspicion to see an orca-lizard running around looking like that. But I suppose it's my own fault for imbibing pride in being a drone. let's just hope his shift doesn't ring for him while he's in the middle of a good wave, I'm sure he wouldn't appreciate crashing after his thoughts shut down again.

It was challenging to find a way to get forge to surf without breaking character. but I think I found a happy medium for it.  kyroraz has been a loyal servant for quite some time. even was one of the first to protest when I considered redesigning the mark a long time ago. it's nice to see he's having fun. you should give him a watch, he has become quite skilled under  endium 's tutelage.
