It was a cold sunny day in the mountainous base. Many Dolls were given a day off, save for the very few that were essential workers, though the commander and Auntie could handle most systems so they weren't worked too hard.
Said Commander was in the repair bay. Making modifications to Dolls weapons where needed. He wasn't the only one in the bay as a few other Dolls stayed to help, even when told they didn't have to they wanted to.
You could hear music playing as you get closer to the Bay..
Nobody on base expected the commander to be a master engineer among other things. He managed to upgrade 5 Dolls in the time it usually took them to upgrade 1.
Everything was going well... until an alarm sounded...
ALERT: PERIMETER BREACHED! ALRET: PERIMETER BREACHED!
"Fuck me sideways... not again..."
POV Kaiser
Well... someone was sitting in the entrance, not moving and that's the worrying part. I ain't taking no fuckin chances and I'm grabbing both my weapons.
Courtesy of AA-12 for these shotguns and courtesy of me for loading these babies with Doomsday rounds.
"Commander! Commander!"
I look over and see M4
"Hm? Ah M4. What's the situation?"
"We identified the intruder and its Agent. But.. she's standing in the entrance not moving nor trying to be hostile."
"I know what she's doin. Have every available Doll behind me but don't approach nor fire."
She looked at me incredulously but nodded "Confirmed Commander..."
I got on my radio and called for Destroyer and Scarecrow both to accompany me. Something told me they'd both be instrumental in swaying this the way I wanted.
It didn't take us long to be face to face with the intruder at our door. She stood there.. silently watching my every move as if she was contemplating.
"Agent was it? Now I'm not happy you broke in here, as you can see I have two weapons very capable of wiping you off the earth. So tell me why are you here."
She stood still for a moment before replying "I wanted to see if it was true... I didn't believe the reports when I was told Scarecrow and Destroyer both met their demise at your hands."
I made a gesture behind me, and from behind me both Dolls in question stepped forward. Apparently shocking Agent.
"As you can see, their deaths were... greatly exaggerated."
I took the moment of her distraction to analyze her, thanks to Auntie being an AI I integrated her into my glasses. The information I was seeing... Agent was hurt and in no way capable of fighting.
"Agent."
She looked at me and tilted her head.
"I'm going to approach. I mean no harm." I handed Crow and Destroyer my two shotguns and slowly began my approach.
The readings showing her slightly afraid but standing tall. I slowly grab her hand and look at it, much to her surprise.
"Agent... how long have you been in such disrepair?"
"I- Excuse me..??"
"Agent I can scan you. You are damaged and can't fight properly. The guns you have hidden in your maid outfit? They aren't working. Your left arm is damaged internally and barely functioning. Your right eye is showing low power."
She looked up at me finally, her eyes met mine and I saw... emotion... she was afraid, not of me but of Sangvis.
"Agent... show me the back of your neck... please."
Without hesitation she did. And I saw it, the control chip keeping her locked up.. with one gentle and swift motion I took it out.
"Agent.. power down for now.. I promise when you wake up you will be good as new. They ain't gonna come for you, and if they do? They got me to contend with."
I looked to the crowd of Dolls behind me "Stand down! AK-12 come here please!"
I saw the familiar closed eyes stand next to me as I handed her the control chip "Take this to R&D. Have em look at it. Everyone else dismissed!"
I looked back at Agent and waited, but she simply hugged me.. whispering "Thank you"..
"Scarecrow, Destroyer go set up the Doll maintenance bay. Auntie will handle the rest. We have a family member to save."
As I said this Agent powered down, going limp in my arms as if she died.. but I refuse to allow her to die due to negligence.
Someday we will win this war, but in the meantime I have a doll to save.
