()||:In a bright room totally unlike the Commander's command room. +The command room always gives off a cold and oppressive feeling. +It is very warm in here. +This place...
()???||:Subject No. 7, your name?
APS(0)Stechkin||:Stechkin. +Automatic Pistol ‘Stechkin'.
APS(0)???||:Automatic Pistol ‘Stechkin', the test is about to begin. Ready?
APS(0)Stechkin||:Stop wasting my time. Go ahead.
APS(0)???||:Recite your baseline.+The noble hold despicable acts in contempt. Atop their high horse, the noble look down on the despicable for committing despicable acts. Despicable.
APS(0)Stechkin||:Despicable.
APS(0)???||:Is there anything you find despicable in what your job requires you to do? Despicable.
APS(0)Stechkin||:Despicable.
APS(0)???||:Has anyone called you despicable because of your job? Despicable.
APS(0)Stechkin||:...Despicable.
APS(0)???||:Automatic Pistol ‘Stechkin', the system has detected irregular emotional fluctuations. Noble.
APS(0)Stechkin||:Noble.
APS(0)???||:Has anyone praised you for your work? Noble.
APS(0)Stechkin||:Noble.
APS(0)???||:Has anyone told you to think about the bigger picture? Noble.
APS(0)Stechkin||:Noble.
APS(0)???||:Do you yearn to be praised? Noble.
APS(0)Stechkin||:Noble.
APS(0)???||:The noble hold despicable acts in contempt.
APS(0)Stechkin||:The noble hold despicable acts in contempt.
APS(0)???||:Why don't you say that three times?
APS(0)Stechkin||:...The noble hold despicable acts in contempt. The noble hold despicable acts in contempt. The noble hold despicable acts in contempt.
()||:The system has detected irregular emotional fluctuations...? +Who is it behind this machine? Is it the Commander? +Or is it really just a machine that's examining me?
()???||:Automatic Pistol ‘Stechkin', answer the following question. +What is it that matters to you the most?
()||:Oh, I almost forgot what I'm doing here. +Questions. Always these kinds of questions.
()???||:Automatic Pistol ‘Stechkin', what is it that matters to you the most?
()||:What is it that matters to me the most? +As a Doll, what means the most to me...? +Shopping? True, I love shopping. +The Commander? Hm... I do enjoy pestering the Commander into giving me some spare change. +But what matters the most has still got to be...
()???||:Automatic Pistol ‘Stechkin', answer the question. +What is it that matters to you the most?
APS(0)Stechkin||:Money, of course.
()||:Is there anything that matters more? Probably not. +How many times have I been asked this question? I've lost count. +This room is so bright it's almost dazzling... +This place...
()???||:Automatic Pistol ‘Stechkin', why do you value money above all else?
APS(0)Stechkin||:Only money is omnipotent. Money has the power to determine a person's life and death. +I've seen too much on my missions... +The poor living in this area can't even afford medical care. Death is their only option.
APS(0)???||:Do not use humans as reference, Automatic Pistol ‘Stechkin'.
APS(0)Stechkin||:Ha, no...? +Isn't it the same for us Dolls? Without money, how are we supposed to acquire the resources we need? +Many Dolls in the base are struggling to make ends meet.
()???||:Automatic Pistol ‘Stechkin', let's put it in a different way. +Which is more important, money or Griffin's survival?
()||:Which is more important? +Ha, if that's what you want to know, why didn't you just get straight to the point? +Of course it's—
APS(0)Stechkin||:Of course it's Griffin's survival. +Griffin...is what matters the most to me.
()||:...Hm? This happened again. My emergency calibration protocol intervened and answered the question for me again. +Ha, what the hell is this...? Some kind of defense mechanism? To protect my core from being dismantled?
()???||:Automatic Pistol ‘Stechkin', confirm your response. +Which is more important, money or Griffin's survival?
()||:Alright, alright... +Defense mechanism... Ha, what a joke. It's making me contradict myself... +Fine, fine... +It's always the same, so why would it make an exception this time?
APS(0)Stechkin||:Griffin's survival. +That matters more to me than money.
()???||<白屏1>:Thank you, Subject No. 7, Automatic Pistol ‘Stechkin'. We're done.
()||9<白屏2>BGM_Empty:Snap.
()||:The bright lights are turned off. I knew it. This room, this place... +My neural cloud has always been cold and dark. +The Commander's command room might actually be warmer...
()||<黑屏1>AVG_door_elecport:Whoosh.
()||97<黑屏2>BGM_Wake:...The door slides open, revealing a hallway in the Griffin base.
APS(0)Stechkin||:This had better be the last time. What a drag...
()||:Stechkin squints, waiting for her eyes to adjust to the glaring sunlight in the hallway.
APS(0)Stechkin||:What's the point of doing such tests...? +Even if I fail...
OTs12(0)OTs-12||:Even if you fail, can't they just reset your neural cloud and dump you back onto the battlefield?
()||:Stechkin looks up and sees a Doll leaning against the wall.
APS(0)Stechkin||:Oh? You're here. +Don't say such things. If they find out, they'll drag you over for tests as well.
OTs12(0)OTs-12||:Uh... +That's what you kept muttering to yourself after you came out from the last test... I was just repeating it. +So, you won't have to do this again, right?
()||:Stechkin nods.
OTs12(0)OTs-12||:Good. It doesn't feel right when we're missing a teammate. +Also, I need to tell you about something urgent.
()||<黑屏1>:Stechkin walks up to OTs-12, whose blue eyes are gleaming with nothing but mirth.
