As she exited the bunker, a modern city shimmered in the distance. "Hmm, do I just travel there with my jetpack or walk?" she pondered.
"You should not use your jetpack, as it will be noticeable," a cold, monotone voice stated in her head.
"Yeah, you're right, it would be noticea-...
YOU'RE SENTIENT!" she exclaimed, genuinely surprised.
[Answer: I am, but I can only talk and give an opinion on your actions if they are correct or not, as well as give warnings to the user.]
"Oh, so you're not going to give quests or anything like that?"
[Answer: No, as it is not logical to give you 'quests'.]
"Okay then... Well, it's nice to know you."
[Answer: And it's not nice knowing you.]
She pouted, surprised. "You're mean... and I kinda like it."
[Answer: I am in danger.]
"Don't worry, partner, I'm not that rough, you know," she said, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
[Answer: I want out.]
[Question: Why are you smiling at the trees? It's illogical to smile at trees; that makes you crazy.]
"So you're just in my head and not a floating orb or a panel?" she asked the AI.
[Answer: Affirmative.]
"Good. Well then, let's start walking."
A Walk to the City
As she walked, she found a road leading toward the city. "If we follow this road, we might get there faster." Along the way, she noticed the road was in terrible condition, with small and large cracks that made her uncomfortable. "What happened to this road? This doesn't look like normal wear and tear."
[Answer: Based on the surroundings, it is most likely a battle happened here.]
"A battle, huh?" she muttered, continuing to walk. "Just where am I?" Her thoughts were interrupted by an explosion in the city, followed by gunfire. What truly shocked her was the sight of a robot on the ground, its face missing.
"What? That looks familiar, but where did I see it?" she pondered, looking at the robot
[Query: I can access the robot's memories or its system if the user allows me.]
She nodded, needing the information. "Do it."
[Affirmative.]
"So, how long will this take?" she asked, but received no response.
[Data access complete.]
"Finally! So what did you get?"
[Accessing... Access complete.]
[Model No. 6431 Vespid
Manufacturer: Sangvis Ferri
Last Known Memory:
Finding M4 team.
Terminated by T-Dolls from Griffin & Kryuger.]
"Well, that solves it. Thanks, AI."
[...]
"Hmm, the T-Dolls might be close by if this T-Doll was killed by them. I wonder if I can get a ride from them." as More gunfire erupted from the north
"Well, time to go!" She started running toward the location
[Warning: If rigging is deactivated, your combat ability is down 70%.]
"Can you explain?" she asked, still running.
[Even deactivated, you are still an MS girl. You have all the strength of a mobile suit: you are stronger, have better reaction time, better perception, endurance, and more.]
"So, just like a Ship Girl, even without my rigging, I still have all the strengths of a regular mobile suit, just without the weapons and stuff, right?"
[Affirmative.]
"Can I still use the mobile suit weapons?" she asked.
[Affirmative.]
"Nice! Give me the Zaku machine gun," she said happily, and it appeared in her hand.
[Hostiles located: 20 Vespid units and 30 Dinergate units.]
"Copy." She cocked her gun and lined up a shot toward a squad of Vespids, then pressed the trigger, eliminating the whole squad in one attack.
"That was easy," she remarked, as if they hadn't even seen her.
[Answer: They can't locate your signal because of Minovsky Particles you are emitting. It's scrambling their radars; hence, they can't locate your position. If they did, they would see you with their eyes.]
"Oh, that works! Can I stop it?"
[Answer: Yes.]
"Huh, neat. Well, let's get going!" she said, moving closer to the gunfire.
A squad of T-Dolls—Kar98k, AK-47, G36, and MG 3—was pinned down by 10 Vespids and 30 Dinergates. All their dummies were dead, and these four were holding their ground in a house but were being pushed back by the relentless Vespid assault. They were beginning to be flanked by Dinergates.
"Do you guys have any way out?" MG 3 asked, worried about the approaching force
"I'm down to three clips," Kar98k said, firing her gun at the incoming Vespids
"I'm down to one mag," G36 added
"I'm also down to one mag. What about you, MG 3?" AK-47 asked
"Well... I ran out two minutes ago... We're dead, aren't we?"
"But we're not going down without a fight!" AK-47 declared.
"That's right!" Kar98k said, ducking to avoid the fire outside the house.
"Mmh, I'm with you guys," G36 said, sliding in her last magazine.
"Well then, let's do this!" MG 3 rallied.
Just as they were about to rush out and take down as many T-Dolls as possible before falling themselves, they heard multiple gunshots outside. Kar98k decided to peek through a hole in the wall.
"Dang, they're gone!" Kar98k exclaimed.
"Did we get reinforcements?" MG 3 asked, hopeful.
"I don't think so. I can't see any allied or G&K signals," AK-47 replied.
"Don't let your guard down," Kar98k warned.
All of them agreed. They didn't know if this person was an ally or not.
"All targets down, AI. Check for any hostiles or any body."
[Answer: There are no longer any Sangvis Ferri units in the area, and I have located four T-Dolls from Griffin & Kryuger. They are located behind you.]
"Copy." She looked back and saw a T-Doll looking at her. "Hey! It's clear now, you can come out!" she yelled.
"Hands up! If you do anything funny, we will open fire!" Kar98k yelled, pointing her weapon at her.
"Yo, chill! I'm friendly," she said, holding her hands up.
"Tell me, who are you?"
She smirked. "I am..."
