"So, you four went to the middle of the swarm, found a cave, then found...her?"

The unknown girl was standing off to the side, staring into the forest with her dull red eyes, nothing on her moving one bit save for the sway of her hair in the wind. If they didn't know better, they may have thought she was an actual robot with how rigid she was.

"Yes. She came out of a cave known for harboring Bears, so we can assume she took them out to be there herself. Beyond that, we know she controls the Bees, and...well, the Bees are capable of Photosynthesis."

The Analyst stopped writing when she said that, looking up at Mandalay with a raised eyebrow. "Photosynthesis? From a Bee?"

"That's what we thought too, but the evidence was all in front of us. Even she did something similar with Solar Panels in her arms...oh, she's doing it again too."

Both turned to see the girl with her arms out again, the panels in her arms extended as she soaked up the rays of the sun. She kept perfectly still even with her arms fully extended, another bizarre feat that really painted a picture of how much must be mechanical in her.

"Are you even sure of what her Quirk is?"

"So far, I'm guessing it has something to do with the Bee control, but with all that tech on her, I'm guessing I could be wrong and it's something else."

The Analyst sketched up a few more things before closing his journal, slotting away his Pen. "Well, I guess we need to get a professional to do a test or something, unless you ask her yourself. Have a good day Miss Mandalay."

He waved her off and returned to his car, leaving Mandalay with her group and the remaining Heroes, plus the new unknown girl. They did a quick file search, and found absolutely nothing on her, even when one of the Officers who had an ID Quirk tried, he found nothing.

Mandalay took a deep breath, centering herself before walking up to the girl's side, making sure she was in sight the entire time. After getting in front of her, she smiled, the girl's one visible eye snapping to her and seeing her with no weapons.

"How's the sunlight?"

"Recharging my Canisters at optimal speed. Low amount of Clouds in the sky allows faster charging."

"I-Is that so?" Her deep robotic voice honestly throws her off every time she hears it, not expecting it to come out of her.

That's not the only thing though, cause now that they were up close instead of a dozen Meters apart...she realized how tall she really was. The girl was of a staggering height, easily breaching two meters and maybe even standing somewhat close to All Might's ridiculous height.

Although, how much of it was what she once was is up for debate since her entire lower body was mechanical, with long, dangerous looking legs.

"Well, I'm Mandalay, leader of the Hero group Wild Wild Pussycats. What's your name?"

The girl remained silent, staring into Mandalay's eyes with zero show for her emotion. If it wasn't for the fact her one eye is the only part of her face visible, she might have been able to read her emotions on her face.

"Are you...not comfortable sharing your name?"

"No name has been registered."

The Hero blinked, her eyes quickly sinking at her words. "You don't have a name? Did you forget it, or were you just...never given one?"

"I do not know of that, but it is unnecessary. A Hive does not need a name, and so no name was given."

Mandalay went to speak again, before being roughly shoved aside as Ragdoll stood in her place. "That's awful! Everyone deserves a name!"
