Qundium drone
Qundium drones are a livestock drone developed by the Gleipnir to provide a steady supply of goo. Originally sturdy male dragons, the dronification and body modification stripped them of their individuality and identity, transforming them into beings whose sole purpose is to produce goo. Qundium drones are unable to act freely, and are forced to constantly produce goo balls while only being able to feel simple sensations.
During this conversion process, Qundium drones have their limbs amputated and are secured with steel rods in a narrow concrete box. Their external senses are thoroughly removed, taking away their ability to see, hear, and smell. However, they retain their sense of touch, which is crucial to their continued production. The drones are constantly injected with goo, grow goo balls inside their bodies, and oviposit them.
The goo is fed through an external entry hole in the box to a goo tank inside the drone. The mucus is then forced into the body through a pipe that runs from the tank to the drone's mouth. The goo in the Qundium drone's body automatically produces goo balls. The tube hole of the Qundium drone is connected to a goo ball outlet, and the goo balls that have grown to a certain size and density are automatically harvested through this outlet. The drone's penis is equipped with a milking machine, which constantly stimulates the drone's penis to produce goo at regular intervals.
The Qundium drone's body and systems are designed to never waste resources. The mucus produced during oviposition or ejaculation is automatically collected and reintroduced through a long tube into an hole on the side of Qundium's neck. The goo is constantly passed through the drone's body and used repeatedly, making the most efficient use of it.
By trained instinct, Qundium drones are designed to feel distracted during the ejection process, and the more goo balls they release, the more they have the urge to swallow. This is not a simple repetitive cycle, but a strategy to maximize production through gradual sensory manipulation. Forced stimulation of the genitals and anus manipulates the drone's nervous system to keep producing goo, and it has been adapted to remove any discomfort that might come with this process, leaving only pleasure of oviposition and ejection.
This system will allow the Qundium drone to continue producing even when it is unconscious. With sight, hearing, and smell removed, they are unable to perceive the external environment, and the only sensations they receive are those that come from touch and the mucus movement process. As a result, the drones are constantly swallowing mucus through their mouths and growing goo balls inside, satisfying their instinct to expand and expel.
Gleipnir categorizes the Qundium drones as mere production devices and manageable resources, and ethical discussions are not even a consideration. They can't think, they can't resist, and they can't choose. If the Qundium project succeeds, the technology will make existing inefficient methods of goo mining redundant and allow the ANKH to take full control of the goo supply chain.
