- [...]
- [The brightness of the room is completely different from the style of the Command Center]
- [There’s always been a cold, oppressive quality inside the Command Center, but this place is very warm.]
- [This place…]
- ???: Respondent 7, what is your name?
- Stechkin: I am Stechkin.
- I am the military assault pistol Stechkin APS.
- ???: Stechkin APS, we will begin the test shortly. Are you ready?
- Stechkin: Stop wasting my time and get on with it.
- ???: Please recite your baseline.
- The noble scorn despicable acts. The noble nobly scorn the despicable acts of the despicable.
- Stechkin: Despicable.
- ???: Do you think your work contains despicable acts? Despicable.
- Stechkin: Despicable.
- ???: Does your work lead you to being disgraced as one who is mean and despicable? Despicable.
- Stechkin: ...Despicable.
- ???: Stechkin APS, the system has detected unregulated emotional activity within you. Noble.
- Stechkin: Noble.
- ???: Has your work been praised by others? Noble.
- Stechkin: Noble.
- ???: Has anyone ever told you that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Noble.
- Stechkin: Noble.
- ???: Have you ever desired the praise of others? Noble.
- Stechkin: Noble.
- ???: The noble scorn despicable acts.
- Stechkin: The noble scorn despicable acts.
- ???: Why did you not repeat it three times?
- Stechkin: ...The noble scorn despicable acts, the noble scorn despicable acts, the noble scorn despicable acts.
- [So they’re trying to detect any unregulated emotional activity… huh?]
- [Who could be behind this machine? The Commander, perhaps?]
- [Or am I simply being tested by a machine?]
- ???: Stechkin APS, please answer the next question.
- What is most important?
- [Hm, I almost forgot what I came here to do.]
- [Questions again, questions like these.]
- [What is most important?]
- [What is most important to a Doll…]
- [Shopping?]
- [Granted, I do like shopping.]
- [The Commander? Hm… I banter with him every now and then, and having him fund me isn’t bad either.]
- [As I thought, the most important thing is still…]
- ???: Stechkin APS, please answer the question.
- What is most important?
- Stechkin: Money, of course.
- [What else could be more important? Perhaps nothing.]
- [How many times have I been asked this question? I don’t remember.]
- [The brightness of this room seems to sting my eyes a little…]
- [This place is…]
- ???: Stechkin APS, why do you think money is the most important thing?
- Stechkin: Because money can do anything. Money can even decide between life and death.
- I’ve seen that far too often while on missions…
- The humans who live in this area can’t even cure their own illnesses without money. All they can do is wait to die.
- ???: Do not use humans as a reference, Stechkin APS.
- Stechkin: Hah, really now…
- Alright, then without money, we Doll wouldn’t be able to buy the resources we need, would we?
- There are many Dolls in the base who are neurotic about saving up money.
- ???: Stechkin APS, you will be questioned in a different way after this.
- Which is more important, between the safety of the Griffin base and money?
- [Which is more important?]
- [Kek, if that’s all they wanted to ask, then they should have just led with it]
- [What’s more important is—]
- Stechkin: The Griffin base, of course.
- Griffin… is what is most important to me.
- [...Huh? So it happened again; the emergency authentication protocol answered for me again.]
- [Kek, what is this… some kind of early warning system? To prevent my core from being melted down?]
- ???: Stechkin APS, please verify your answer to the question.
- [Alright, alright…]
- [An early warning system… hah, what a joke, they make it sound like I’d say the opposite instead…]
- [Alright, alright…]
- [It’s always the same each time, so this time will be no different.]
- Stechkin: The Griffin base.
- It is more important than money.
- ???: Thank you, Respondent 7, Stechkin APS. The test is complete.
- [Snap.]
- [The lights have suddenly been switched off. As I thought, this room, this place…]
- [It’s always been nothing but darkness in my neural cloud.]
- [Perhaps the Command Center is warmer than this…]
- [Szzz—]
- [...The room door opens, and outside it is the corridor of Griffin base.]
- Stechkin: Please tell me this is the last time today, it’s really boring...
- [Stechkin narrows her eyes to try and get used to the somewhat dazzling fluorescent lights in the corridor.]
- Stechkin: Is there even a point to such tests?
- Even if we fail them...
- OTs-12: —Even if we fail them, all they have to do is reformat our neural clouds and throw us back onto the battlefield, right?
- [Stechkin looks up, at the Doll standing on one side of the corridor.
- Stechkin: Oh? So you came.
- Don’t just go saying that sort of thing without thinking. If the people on top hear about it, they’ll drag you in for tests like these.
- OTs-12: Hahhh…
- You were the one who spent the entire previous test grumbling… I just repeated what I was told.
- So, this should be the last test today, right?
- [Stechkin nods.]
- OTs-12: The days without you on the team aren’t fun.
- As it happens, I was looking for you about something.
- [Stechkin walks up. The only thing in OTS-12’s dark green eyes is mirth, and nothing else.]
- MOD 1
- [...Afternoon.]
- [In a corridor of the Griffin base.]
- Stechkin: Is there something urgent? How urgent can a matter be that you’d come here to wait for a Doll who got thrown into solitary?
- OTs-12: You’re one to talk…
- So why did you sell off the base’s supplies?
- Stechkin: Because selling supplies would give me money, simple as that.
- OTs-12: You…!
- [The mirth in OTs-12’s eyes did not fade. It was simply joined by some exasperation.]
- OTs-12: You go on and on about saving up money, but wouldn’t you be able to save it if only you didn’t go around buying things?
- Stechkin: But what would be the point of saving money if you didn’t buy anything with it?
- Besides, shopping is my sole passion. It’s not like you don’t know this.
- OTs-12: But that doesn’t mean you can secretly sell off the base’s supplies…
- Good thing it was just some food and small pieces of furniture, and in light of your contributions, the Commander only stuck you in solitary for a few days...
- Stechkin: I wish it were only solitary.
- [Stechkin rolls her eyes as she interrupts OTs-12’s nagging.]
- Stechkin: Look, you wouldn’t be able to take it either if you had to listen to some ridiculous machine asking your ridiculous questions before every mission and after every expedition.
- I’m a Griffin warrior, of course I fight for Griffin, it’s just… it’s just...
- [Stechkin’s voice trails off.]
- [OTs-12 sighs, then steps up to grab Stechkin’s arm and drags her outside.]
- OTs-12: Look, everything would be okay if you just admitted your mistake to the Commander, right?
- Stechkin: I know stealing the supplies was my fault…
- And that wrongdoings deserve to be punished. It’s just that I can’t accept my punishment quietly.
- OTs-12: I heard the Commander didn’t take any other action against you.
- Good thing everyone spoke up for you, and you had your combat record as well...
- Stechkin: Ahhh, this combat record stuff is so damn annoying… I told you, I’m a Griffin warrior, so…
- The reason why I’m only in solitary for a few days is for the same reason.
- They added a line of code to my neural cloud model saying, “Griffin’s safety is my top priority”, and it even answers for me when I’m being tested...
- OTs-12: Eh!? You mean you don’t care about how Griffin does, Stechkin?
- Stechkin: As if! Of course I care about Griffin, otherwise I wouldn’t be here.
- But I could have said that myself. Instead it’s become an emergency measure or something.
- OTs-12: Huh? That sounds a little complicated…
- Anyway, you say you care about the base, but you still stole base supplies.
- From that point of view, there’s nothing wrong with adding that line...
- [Stechkin shrugs off OTs-12’s arm and strides forward.]
- OTs-12: Ahhhhh wait for me!
- There’s just no reasoning with you… so anyway, what do you plan to do after this?
- [Stechkin stops in place and waits for OTs-12 to take her hand again.]
- Stechkin: After this? Of course I’m going to keep saving up more money.
- OTs-12: Ah… You… surely you’re not going to start stealing stuff again, are you?
- [Stechkin rolls her eyes.]
- Stechkin: There’s a reason why you don’t get to do much, and it’s because of your intelligence.
- Stealing is wrong, didn’t I say that just now?
- I’m not going to end up in solitary twice for the same mistake.
- OTs-12: Then…?
- Stechkin: From now on, I’m going to work hard and save money, but not just for shopping.
- First, I’m goign to get a neural cloud upgrade and then get rid of this stupid order that was added to me.
- OTs-12: A, a neural cloud upgrade? But that’ll cost a fortune!
- Stechkin: Yes, it’s going to be a big project, and I’m going to have to think in the long term...
- OTs-12: Still, I think having this order isn’t a huge inconvenience, right?
- Stechkin: It’s a huge pain in the ass.
- I don’t want anyone or anything making decisions for me in that field…
- Do you think I can’t make such a basic decision of my own?
- Even if it’s selling myself short, I still want to live that way.
- [OTs-12 looks at Stechkin with a hint of worry in her eyes.]
- Stechkin: You brainlet, you don’t get it again, do you…
- Think of it this way, if there were a self-destruct program in me, and there came a situation where the base was in danger…
- Then I’d prefer to be the one triggering that program, rather than some bullshit three-laws-of-robotics crap.
- OTs-12: I see… But I hope that sort of thing doesn’t happen either, especially when we’re on the same team.
- Stechkin: Don’t worry, I’ll let you know if that actually happens. I don’t want you beside me when I blow up.
- If you got destroyed too, I’m 99% sure they’d bill your repairs to me even after I was reduced to scrap.
- Hm… for instance, I’ll say something sarcastic...
- [OTs-12 nods thoughtfully.]
- OTs-12: But…
- You say sarcastic things every day. Sometimes I can’t tell what you’re actually serious about...
- [Stechkin can’t keep herself from laughing.]
- Stechkin: Hah, as if. I always speak seriously when I’m being serious.
- Anyway, we’ve spent enough time talking about nonsense. You said you were looking for me because of something urgent, right? What is it?
- [Stechkin looks back at OTs-12. The mirth in her eyes is still clearly visible.]
- OTs-12: I think this would be good news for you.
- The Commander’s putting you on the same team as me for a secret mission, starting tonight.
- Stechkin: Good news? A secret mission?
- Stechkin: That’s right! The Commander told me that it might be a bit risky, but we’d be getting higher pay to match.
- After all, when it comes to battlefield compatibility, you and I are the best choices!
- Why don’t you make this mission the start of your big plan? I’m sure it’ll go really well!
- MOD 2
- [...At night.]
- [On an abandoned street corner.]
- [Stechkin and OTs-12 hide in the shadows and watch their surroundings.]
- Stechkin: See that? That pillar rising from the grass patch at two-o’clock is one of their sensors. If you step into its scan range, it’ll automatically trigger an alarm.
- OTs-12: I see another one at 9 o’clock!
- Looks like these sensors are spaced out in a circle around their base.
- Stechkin: Yes. It’ll be a little troublesome, but we’ve already analyzed the data from out scouting run just now...
- {Stechkin has been holding a miniature tactical tablet all this time, and line after line of code springs out on its surface.]
- [Stechkin connects her own sensors to the tablet and then nods to OTs-12.]
- Stechkin: Connect to this. Good thing I had my doubts before we left and brought a signal spoofing device.
- You’ve realized it too, right? The base we’ll be infiltrating later...
- [OTs-12 nods severely.]
- OTs-12: Yeah, it’s an SF base.
- I didn’t expect there to be a pocket of uncleared SF in this sector. Looks like they were missed out during the last extermination operation.
- Stechkin: 98%... alright, we should be fine now.
- According to the simulated feedback from the scanners, there’s a large rock behind that parking lot there which is actually a holographic projection. Given its shape, it’s probably a storage device for them.
- The signal range of their supply crates won’t reach that far, so all we can do is approach and scan again.
- Advance along the planned route and watch my hand signals. I’ll cover you.
- [Stechkin lowers her voice and gestures to OTs-12.]
- [With their signals spoofed, the two of them deceive the SF base’s sensors and encounter no enemies along their infiltration route.]
- [OTs-12 feels her way to the exterior of the parking lot and hides in a corner, knocking out the Dinergates near the holographic rock with electronic interference.]
- OTs-12. It’s safe. Follow.
- Stechkin: Received.
- [By the time Stechkin meets up with OTs-12, the latter has already finished scanning the storage device.]
- [Stechkin studies the screen of OTs-12’s scanner out of habit, and there is a flicker of movement on her expression.]
- OTs-12: The codes match. The supplies we’re looking for are all inside this storage container.
- This is an excellent start to your big project!
- Stechkin: Why are you so excited? You usually don’t even say anything when we’re on a mission.
- OTs-12: Because this time...
- Stechkin: Fine, fine, save the sentimentality for when we return to base. Start cracking the container lock, I’ll cover you.
- [OTs-12 nods vigorously and begins unlocking the container.]
- [Click.]
- [Beepbeep—]
- [The quiet electronic noise blends into the wind, yet it seems strangely ominous.]
- Stechkin: Wait!
- [Zap—!]
- [The sensor in OTs-12’s hand sprays sparks, and a large plume of smoke erupts from near the giant rock.]
- [Stechkin immediately pulls OTs-12 behind herself.]
- [Ka-click.]
- [The two of them ready their weapons for an attack from the front as a pair of golden eyes gleam coldly as their owner studies them.]
- Stechkin: You already discovered us!?
- Hunter: A true hunter understands the value of silence.
- Only foolish prey like you would rush headlong into a trap laid beforehand.
- Stechkin: Tch, you might only be a Dummy but you haven’t forgotten how to act cool.
- [Bang bang!]
- [Bangbangbang—]
- [Stechkin opens fire before she finishes, not wanting to waste more words on Hunter.]
- [OTs-12 attacks Hunter in sync with Stechkin.]
- Stechkin: Tiss, fall back!
- [However, Stechkin finds that OTs-12 is not preparing to fall back, like she had ordered.]
- [Instead… OTs-12 is suppressing Hunter to the best of her ability, and although it doesn’t seem to be doing much, it’s opening a path on the sides.]
- [Boom—!]
- [As the smoke clears, OTs-12 drags Stechkin by the hand and leads the latter away.]
- [Once they’re behind cover, OTs-12’s neural cloud begins computing a battle plan.]
- OTs-12: Stechkin, hurry and—
- [Stechkin slaps OTs-12’s hand aside and glares at her while reloading.]
- Stechkin: What the hell!? Why didn’t you listen to me!?
- OTs-12: The payout for this mission is really big, so I have to stay behind…
- It’s too risky for us to go together, so hurry up and withdraw, Stechkin!
- Good thing that Hunter is just a Dummy, so I should be able to deal with her. Besides, I still have a secret weapon in store...
- [Stechkin falls silent for a moment.]
- Stechkin: What secret weapon? You can beat her? Are you kidding me!?
- She might be a Dummy, but she’s a Dummy of SF’s pursuit-optimized elite Dolls!
- When you say you want to stay back and deal with her, are you actually saying you want to be captured and vivisected!?
- OTs-12: But these resources—!
- Stechkin: I saw the serial numbers on your scanner. Those supplies… they were the ones I sold off at the Black Market, so… change of plans, we’ll abandon the recovery and withdraw ASAP!
- When we get back, I’ll just reimburse the base!
- OTs-12: No, I can’t...
- Stechkin: Does that mean you want to die here!?
- [Bangbangbang!]
- [Their cover is little more than a broken wall and Hunter will probably shoot through it soon.]
- [OTs-12 focuses on shooting, and the determination on her face is something Stechkin has not seen there often.]
- OTs-12: I don’t know if you remember the recon mission before this, when we were surrounded by SF, just like now.
- [Bang bang!]
- [Stechkin says nothing, but OTs-12 doesn’t wait for her to answer. Instead, she continues speaking.]
- OTs-12: Back then, you covered me as I escaped, and when the back up team brought you back to base, your left hand was shot to bits.
- Stechkin: I don’t remember that, and even if that happened, I would have done it for the “no teammate lost” bonus and not because of you.
- OTs-12: I know, I know you did it for the money…
- But that doesn’t matter for me. What happened in the end was that you saved me, and I don’t want to owe you a favor.
- Stechkin: Is that very important?
- OTs-12: It is, to me…
- As a comrade, I need to find a way to pay you back…
- And besides, even if Hunter ends up destroying my neural cloud, I won’t have to keep obsessing about this and we won’t owe each other anything.
- [Bang bang!]
- [Bangbangbang—]
- [Stechkin does not reply. She simply focuses on taking out the mooks rushing at them.
- OTs-12: I’m sorry, Stechkin. I seem to have thrown a wrench into your big plan…
- If I can bring those supplies back successfully, you’ll still get the money for it.
- After all, it’s not often that I get to do something for my friends...
- [Bang!]
- [Another Dinergate charges Stechkin and falls by her feet.]
- [Stechkin takes the miniature bomb in her backpack and leaves it by OTs-12’s side.]
- Stechkin: Alright then… then I’ll do as you ask, so we don’t owe each other anything any more.
- [As OTs-12 tries her best to hold off Hunter’s attack by herself, Stechkin finds an opening and slips out of the firefight.
- OTs-12: Yes, it’s better this way…
- This way...
- MOD 3
- [Bang!]
- [Hunter puts a bullet through OTs-12’s left arm. Her body shifts by just a fraction, but that’s enough for Hunter to put her muzzle to OTs-12’s temple.]
- Hunter: I didn’t think a trash model like you could hold out for so long.
- Still, this is probably your limit.
- [OTs-12’s arm feels weakly around behind her.]
- [Bang!]
- [Boom!]
- [Hunter shoots the small grenade out of her hand before she can throw it, and the explosion paralyzes OTs-12.]
- OTs-12: How did Stechkin handle this situation back then?
- Right, I should have asked to be installed with that self-destruct system Stechkin was talking about this afternoon...
- [Some static blends with the sound of the wind, but right now, OTs-12 can’t tell if she’s being jammed or if it’s because of something else.]
- OTs-12: It’s true, I AM at my limit...
- [I hear footsteps.]
- [Why are there footsteps?]
- [Am I imagining things? Or… have the SF reinforcements arrived...
- [Boom—!]
- [This explosion comes from somewhere nearby.]
- [Hunter’s face darkens, and turns toward the source of the sound.]
- [I hear more footsteps.]
- [I think it’s the sound of someone stepping through debris and wood chips.]
- [OTs-12 strains to raise her head—]
- Stechkin: TISS! YOU BRAINLET! GO BLOW YOUR STUPID NEURAL CLOUD UP! I HATE YOU!
- [OTs-12 is so shocked that for a moment she can’t hear the sound of the wind rustling by her ears.]
- [Hunter frons and looks at the DOll before her, the one who’s brimming with confidence.]
- Hunter: Aren’t you the prey from just now? I didn’t expect you to come back.
- Stechkin: Hunter, would you like to make a trade with me?
- Hunter: What have you done?
- Stechkin: I burned that storage box that was disguised by the hologram projector and planted some explosives around your other supply caches.
- Hunter: Which means?
- [Stechkin hold up the detonator in her hand.]
- Stechkin: If you don’t mind losing your entire resource stockpile, then go ahead and blow her head open.
- Or perhaps… you let her go, and you might be able to pick up the SF parts that remain.
- Hunter: And why should I make this trade with you?
- Stechkin: You’re not stupid. I think you understand.
- Griffin’s reinforcements are coming soon, so you need to ask yourself; is killing me and her worth losing all your forces?
- If you let us go, the follow-up forces won’t make trouble for you.
- Right now, you and I are talking terms from equal positions. I trust you understand?
- [The wind continues blowing, and Hunter continues glaring at Stechkin with her fluorite eyes.]
- [A moment later, Hunter’s gun muzzle leaves OTs-12’s head.]
- Hunter: Throw your detonator away and then get lost.
- I won’t let you escape me next time, prey.
- [...Late at night.]
- [On the road back to the Griffin base.]
- [Stechkin is supporting OTs-12 as they walk back to the base in silence.]
- [OTs-12 can’t help but look at Stechkin’s face, but the darkness means she can’t read the other Doll’s expression.]
- OTs-12: Stechkin...
- [Stechkin doesn’t look at OTs-12, but their pace slows down.]
- OTs-12: How did you know Hunter would let me go?
- I mean… if they had killed us and immediately withdrawn, they wouldn’t be surrounded by Griffin’s backup, right?
- No no, you… why did you come back again? And you planted so many bombs...
- Stechkin: What’s this? You hardly say a word on most days; were you saving them all up for now?
- OTs-12: I...
- Stechkin: I didn’t know if Hunter would have let you go, there was no Griffin backup, and the bombs I planted were fake. I ran a hustle on her.
- OTs-12: Eh!? Then won’t she realize she was tricked after she checks all her caches?
- Stechkin: She’s very cautious despite being a Dummy.
- I’m guessing that she’ll spend all night shifting her base’s location.
- After all… I did burn those supplies, the bombs I planted were fake, but she had no way of knowing if Griffin’s backup would actually show up.
- OTs-12: Then, you were gambling, weren’t you?
- If she hadn’t believed you, she’d have captured you too!
- Stechkin: I don’t think so.
- I said the bombs I planted were fake, but I never said the bombs themselves were fake, did I?
- OTs-12: Huh?
- Stechkin: Well, remember that little bit of explosives I gave you? The rest of it is...
- [Stechkin pulls open her coat.]
- Stechkin: Tied up here.
- [OTs-12 exclaims in surprise as she sees inside Stechkin’s clothes.]
- OTs-12: You…!
- Ah! The detonator! Hunter told you to throw it away!
- Stechkin: Don’t worry, I fiddled around with it so it can’t be detonated.
- So there’s no need to worry about me suddenly exploding or whatnot.
- [The two of them fall silent again for a while after Stchkin finishes.]
- [After a long time, OTs-12 suddenly chuckles.]
- Stechkin: What’s wrong? DId your voice coding get scrambled?
- OTs-12: Stechkin… so what you shouted back then…
- It was your “self-destruct order”, huh...
- Stechkin: I have no idea what you’re talking about. My self-destruct order is a sarcastic phrase, didn’t I tell you before?
- OTs-12: But it was! Back then, you said… you “hated” me, right?
- Stechkin: I was dead serious when I said that. Besides, I don’t go around being snarky every day.
- OTs-12: Hehe… is it?
- So why did you save me even at the cost of the mission failing?
- Stechkin: That’s because my neural cloud has the stupid order of “Make Griffin’s safety your number one priority” coded into it.
- Therefore, I couldn’t do something like abandon a Griffin Doll and run off by myself.
- [Stechkin pauses.]
- Stechkin: I didn’t do this for you. Now we’re even.
- OTs-12: Huh? Are we?
- Stechkin: You’re dumb and clueless and gloomy and quiet, and even though you said “you had a secret weapon” all you know how to do is follow orders.
- —Oh, no, you didn’t listen this once.
- OTs-12: Hehe… well, from today onwards, I think I really do have a secret weapon in store.
- Stechkin: Hm? And what is that? In any case, you’re a really annoying teammate and I hate you, Tiss.
- OTs-12: I know, I like you too.
- Stechkin: I have no idea what you’re talking about… I hate you, Tiss.
- OTs-12: Yup! I like you too!
- Stechkin: ...I absolutely hate you, Tiss.
- OTs-12: There there, I love you too, Stechkin♪
- [...The next day, in the Griffin BAse.]
- [In the Commander’s office.]
- [Stechkin studies the files in front of her with a mix of curiosity and resignation.]
- Stechkin: I don’t understand, sir.
- Commander: Hm, is there a problem?
- Stechkin: I have so many questions I don’t even know where to begin asking…
- For starters, you know that I’m under punishment AND I failed a resource recovery mission, so why did you arrange this neural upgrade for me?
- Commander: Ah… um… because you’re very important to Griffin.
- Stechkin: What kind of answer is that…
- Fine, next question… why did you directly complete my neural upgrade while I was sleeping without getting my permission!?
- Commander: Um...ah...because it was more convenient that way...
- [Stechkin glares at the Commander, but there is no strength in her gaze.]
- Stechkin: You keep doing these things without asking me, you and Tiss...
- Commander: Oh yes, about OTs-12, her arm’s been fixed, so you can go check in on her at any time.
- We sent people from our side to go wipe out the remaining SF mentioned in your reports.
- As for the failed mission...we’ll call it a wash.
- Oh yes, OTs-12 footed the bill for your neural upgrade.
- [Stechkin freezes, and then the smile returns to her face.]
- Stechkin: Alright, at least I can remove that damn order and make money my top priority.
- Commander: You won’t pass the safety tests that way.
- Stechkin: You’re worrying too much.
- Thanks to you, I’m already bound by my debt to Tiss. Financial obligations like that are much harder to break than mandatory orders.
- Commander: For some reason, I suddenly feel a little sad after hearing that…
- Stechkin! You’re still loyal to Griffin, right?
- [Stechkin laughs, and the mirth in her eyes is the same as in OTs-12’s.]
- Stechkin: Of course I am. Please look forward to my future performance, my dear Commander.
