Zilba's Sentience

"When you want something done, you have to make a group that shares the same mind. The same mind... the same mind... yes... that'll work wonders Heh heh heh heh heh."

- Zilba talking to himself prior to creating his faction.

Overview
Zilba's Sentience is a faction of one consisting of stolen drones controlled directly by Zilba. Zilba embodies everything this faction is, from the hierarchy structure to the end goal. This faction's end goal is to create the "Final War" in order to bring the four kingdoms under one government. While this faction is small and gradually growing, it has so far been undetected due to the alienated nature of the base and the subtlety of the activities..

History
Established after Zilba took control of Atlas drones from a nearby base, Zilba used his newfound robots to annihilate the inhabitants of the base so that he could deconstruct the base and transfer it elsewhere. Upon finding a suitable and alienated location, Zilba set up his laboratory. From then on, Zilba would steal Atlas drones and improve them in the way he had planned when working as a robot mechanic serving the Atlas military. Not too long after Penny's creation, Zilba became obsessed with replicating such a machine. Thus adding a new goal to the faction's agenda.

Activities
There are a few activities in which this faction partakes in. One would be military base robbery in which Zilba sneaks off with new drones to improve. Another would be hunter hunts where Zilba will lead a hunting party of drones in order to capture hunters for experimentation. The last activities would be research and drone construction, but those are rather self explanatory.

Hierarchal Structure
There are only two groups in this faction. There is Zilba Warwick, then there are his robots. Zilba directly controls the robots due the combination of his Semblance and Abfangen Uberlastung. While there are different robots for different jobs, the entire base is ran by one person.

Establishment/Base Structure
The base is often refered to as Zilba's laboratory. The base is surrounded by dense forest with tall trees, making it difficult to find from above and ground level. The base's appearance seems to be a simplistic 90ftx90ftx90ft cube on the surface, this, however, is the intentionally underwhelming and disposable first floor. This floor was designed to be a form of trick. Meant to deceive those who destroyed it into thinking they exterminated Zilba's Sentience.

Underneath and well hidden lies the true laboratory where a surplus of captives and robots lie. The laboratory spans a large distance and is sectioned off into various sectors. These sectors include "Aura Transfusion Experimentation," "Robotics Improvement," "Weapon Research and Testing," "Drone Construction," "Captive Holding," "Drone Storage," and "Master Chamber." Every sector is gaurded by Zilba's top notch combat drones. All of these sectors are relatively simple save for the "Master Chamber."

The "Aura Transfusion Experimentation" sector is where huntsmen and huntresses are strapped to machines that drain the aura from them. Which is then used on outdated drones in order to create an aura infused drone. The machines, however, are unable to provide supple intact samples as the aura dissipates upon removal. Thus leading to gradual steps towards attempting to put an amalgamation of aura into a drone, which has failed every time so far.

The "Robotics Improvement" sector is where stolen drones are taken to be upgraded and reprogrammed. It is here where the faction grows.

The "Weapons Research and Testing" sector is where new weapon ideas are concocted and then tested to see their effectiveness. It is from this sector that spurs new upgrades for the drones.

The "Drone Construction" sector is a factory-like sector where retrieved drone scraps are recycled into new drones. Thus keeping the numbers up.

The "Captive Holding" sector is where captive huntsmen and huntresses are held until they are sent to the "Aura Transfusion Experimentation" sector. None have come back alive from there. Thus instilling terror upon new and old captives.

The "Drone Storage" sector is simply where excess drones are stored similar to barracks for excess soldiers.

The "Master Chamber" sector is the most guarded of all the sectors. It is where Zilba's body is hidden away in a reinforced cell whenever he assumes full control over his laboratory. Along with that, there are numerous energy reactors that are maintained by Zilba's bionic arm. Whenever Zilba is absent from this sector, the entire laboratory shuts down. Zilba spends a large sum of his time in this sector in order to further his research.

Location
The laboratory is located somewhere on the island southeast of Mistral.

Trivia

 * The base's design was somewhat inspired by "The House of Evolution" from One Punch Man.
 * The real laboratory of both are hidden under a deceptive shell.
 * Both are surrounded by forest (at least before Genos incinerated the place).
 * Despite there being numerous drones, there is only one member, and that is Zilba Warwick.
