()???||: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.

()||: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.
