Artist commentary:

James Roach:

oh yeah, the music you hear during Karkat's pesterquest route that isn't his theme is the rhythmic motif for the drones. it happens in a few other places in Act 1 and Friendsim, as well as multiple place in Act 2

it might be a little wild because the motif isn't melodic, but a good example of it is in "Keep Your Head Down" and during the drone cutscene in act 1
