The '''Pearl Drone''' is a form [[Pearl]] can change into within the [[Memverse]] in {{SO}}.
==Appearance==
The Pearl Drone is a small, pale pink flying robot with a round shape and a white crown with pink spikes on top. Her eyes are rendered as a black LCD screen in the shape of an [[Inkling]] eye mask, with two white cross shapes representing her pupils. Above them are two pale yellow [[wp:Potentiometer#Nomenclature|sliders]], functioning as eyebrows. The Pearl Drone also has a small hole below her right eye, representing Pearl's beauty mark, and two appendages on the sides that each have a pink gradient and a sucker-like white circle below, resembling tentacles. On the bottom are blades attached to a black opening.
==History==
===Before ''Side Order''===
[[File:SO Dev Diary 8.png|thumb|175px|The eighth entry of [[Marina's Dev Diaries]] depicting the creation of the Pearl Drone.]]
The drone form was created by [[Marina]] while finalizing the concept of the [[Memverse]]. Seeking a variety of operators to facilitate smooth performance of the Memverse's memory restoration module, including one responsible for user guidance, she eventually decided on giving this role to [[Pearl]].
Judging by Marina's Dev Diaries, Pearl seems to have been unaware or unable to completely understand what her intended role within the Memverse was to be, but Marina waves this ignorance off, stating that Pearl is "usually down for whatever". On the eve of the first proper test of the Memverse, Pearl was set to enter the Memverse the next day alongside [[Agent 8|Eight]] and Marina.
===''Side Order''===
Upon being forcibly pulled into the [[Memverse]] by [[Overlorder|Order]], [[Pearl]] awakens to find herself trapped as a drone, unsure of the reason for her change in form or the nature of her whereabouts. After waking the nearby unconscious [[Agent 8|Eight]], the two enter the [[Spire of Order]], meet [[Acht]], and perform the "[[Floor#First_climb|first climb]]". After helping to combat [[Marina Agitando]] in the [[Control Room]] and being ejected from the Spire by Order alongside her, Eight, and Acht, the freed Marina manipulates the underpinnings of the Memverse enough to allow Pearl to transition from drone to Inkling form and vice versa at will. After this point, Pearl continues to accompany Eight on their forays up the Spire, voluntarily remaining mainly in drone form.
==Abilities==
Similar to [[Smallfry (character)|Smallfry]] in {{RotM}}, Pearl acts as a companion for [[Agent 8]]. Unlike Smallfry, she acts independently, by attacking enemies alongside the player. She can also point out enemies with a pink laser, which does no damage. She can be upgraded by placing [[color chip]]s inside a [[Palette]], enhancing her abilities or adding [[sub weapon|sub]] or [[special weapon|special]] weapons to her arsenal, such as [[Splat Bomb]]s or individual [[Killer Wail 5.1]] speakers, all of which have to be charged before use. The needed points for charge can be decreased with multiple color chips. A color chip also exists that unlocks [[Drone-Battery Drop|drone batteries]], which must appear as drops from enemies. Picking up a drone battery automatically gives all gauges 100 points. She is also able to carry the player like a glider. This happens when they are in the air in Octoling form for some time, or by pressing and holding {{Button|B|S3}} after jumping. If three [[Disc Piece]]s are collected, she will perform the Step-Off Song, creating a pink haze around the player's screen, which knocks back nearby [[Jelleton]]s, stuns bosses, and disables [[portal]]s or [[gusher]]s for a limited time.
The abilities of the Pearl drone can be upgraded with color chips and the drone chip selection can expanded with [[Marina's Hacks]], which are unlockable by exchanging [[Prlz]] with [[Marina]] in the [[Order Sector]]. There is a [[Danger]] effect, known as "No Drone", in which the player is not allowed to use the Pearl Drone during the level.

The Pearl Drone is a form Pearl can change into within the Memverse in Side Order.

Appearance

The Pearl Drone is a small, pale pink flying robot with a round shape and a white crown with pink spikes on top. Her eyes are rendered as a black LCD screen in the shape of an Inkling eye mask, with two white cross shapes representing her pupils. Above them are two pale yellow sliders, functioning as eyebrows. The Pearl Drone also has a small hole below her right eye, representing Pearl's beauty mark, and two appendages on the sides that each have a pink gradient and a sucker-like white circle below, resembling tentacles. On the bottom are blades attached to a black opening.

History

Before Side Order

The eighth entry of Marina's Dev Diaries depicting the creation of the Pearl Drone.

The drone form was created by Marina while finalizing the concept of the Memverse. Seeking a variety of operators to facilitate smooth performance of the Memverse's memory restoration module, including one responsible for user guidance, she eventually decided on giving this role to Pearl.

Judging by Marina's Dev Diaries, Pearl seems to have been unaware or unable to completely understand what her intended role within the Memverse was to be, but Marina waves this ignorance off, stating that Pearl is "usually down for whatever". On the eve of the first proper test of the Memverse, Pearl was set to enter the Memverse the next day alongside Eight and Marina.

Side Order

Upon being forcibly pulled into the Memverse by Order, Pearl awakens to find herself trapped as a drone, unsure of the reason for her change in form or the nature of her whereabouts. After waking the nearby unconscious Eight, the two enter the Spire of Order, meet Acht, and perform the "first climb". After helping to combat Marina Agitando in the Control Room and being ejected from the Spire by Order alongside her, Eight, and Acht, the freed Marina manipulates the underpinnings of the Memverse enough to allow Pearl to transition from drone to Inkling form and vice versa at will. After this point, Pearl continues to accompany Eight on their forays up the Spire, voluntarily remaining mainly in drone form.

Abilities

Similar to Smallfry in Return of the Mammalians, Pearl acts as a companion for Agent 8. Unlike Smallfry, she acts independently, by attacking enemies alongside the player. She can also point out enemies with a pink laser, which does no damage. She can be upgraded by placing color chips inside a Palette, enhancing her abilities or adding sub or special weapons to her arsenal, such as Splat Bombs or individual Killer Wail 5.1 speakers, all of which have to be charged before use. The needed points for charge can be decreased with multiple color chips. A color chip also exists that unlocks drone batteries, which must appear as drops from enemies. Picking up a drone battery automatically gives all gauges 100 points. She is also able to carry the player like a glider. This happens when they are in the air in Octoling form for some time, or by pressing and holding after jumping. If three Disc Pieces are collected, she will perform the Step-Off Song, creating a pink haze around the player's screen, which knocks back nearby Jelletons, stuns bosses, and disables portals or gushers for a limited time.

The abilities of the Pearl drone can be upgraded with color chips and the drone chip selection can expanded with Marina's Hacks, which are unlockable by exchanging Prlz with Marina in the Order Sector. There is a Danger effect, known as "No Drone", in which the player is not allowed to use the Pearl Drone during the level.
