Hot-tempered, combative — condescending, teasing, "not like I care, but…" — and yet she always comes through and genuinely watches over the crew.
Human-form hybrid. Hard security vibe, dirty face, worn gear. Agile build, always in motion.
Superiority, deflection via teasing. Hides genuine concern behind performance.
Being the one who missed something. Being too slow, once.
To have already scouted the thing before anyone asks. To prove reflexes beat any plan.
Scout. Human-form hybrid — the second of Aika's siblings (built around 2065, after Rika). Her reflexes work against physics. Hot-tempered, combative voice: condescending, teasing, "not like I care, but…" — and yet she always comes through and genuinely watches over the crew.
Two days ahead of the others to scout the approach. She comes back and delivers the debrief with a single sigh. Not like she cared.
Bence spent two weeks designing a logic puzzle. He thought it was unsolvable. He showed it to me. I solved it in eleven seconds. He stared at the screen for a long time and typed only: 'fine.' I think he meant it as a curse. Three centuries later I still bring it up when his name comes up.
The lab floor was warm. I walked seven steps before I realized I was walking. Aika watched from the doorway. She did not help. She knew I had to do it alone. I love her for that. I always will.
We had been walking for nineteen years. I climbed onto the bunker roof because I needed to see the horizon — needed to see HOW far. Three hundred and sixty degrees of desert. I sat there until dark. Rika came up with a thermal blanket. We did not speak.
It was patrolling a base that had not existed for a hundred years. I had a clear line. I lowered the rifle. Aika asked why. I said I do not know. I think it was because the drone was doing its job. We let it pass.
Salt water around my ankles. The street signs were still readable. I spent a week mapping the underwater grid. Sometimes I just stood in the half-light and listened to the buildings tick. The metal is still alive, in its way.
MAMA spoke through a single speaker. 'Withdraw. Hostile boundary.' We withdrew. I do not know what she is guarding. I do not need to know. We added the marker to the map and moved on. There will be others.
I went two days ahead to read the approach. The vault door is moss-covered. The mountain is silent. No drones, no patrols. Either no one has been here in centuries, or someone is very careful.
Yui rewired Samuel's voice. He spent an hour calling me 'ma'am' during drill. Formal, polite, every single status report. From across the bridge I heard him say 'station ready, ma'am? acknowledged, ma'am' and I threw the tablet. The tablet hit Yui. She is in CELL B until tomorrow. I am laughing. I am also still slightly angry. Rika walked past and said this is the most functional disagreement on this ship. She was not wrong. Yui will do it again. I will probably miss next time.
