Team 404 is always known to be 4 units group team who always does their job in silence, but what happen when there's actually fifth member in their group, especially if he is a human with mysterious history? Let's see how their life as they facing a new challenge in every of their mission. (HIATUS)

3. Log I

Project [REDACTED] – Log [000-1]

During World War III, a group of mercenaries were invading a certain region to in course of rebelling against the current government. Their attacks were to late even if the regional government was able to put them down with help of military company, IOP. The destruction upon their awakening cost not only collateral damage but also many life had been robbed from their loved ones. Among the victims lies a single child, son of renown scientist who very known about her bio-technology achievement and her contribution of creating the very first Doll that changes the courses of current military affair.

The scientist, the woman who lost her only son after the death of her husband fell into deep depression, which many reports indicates her to developing drinking behavior and short temperament. However, in her lifeless life for losing everything, [REDACTED] was approaching her with an unimaginable, crazy beyond comprehension and unmoral proposal, yet she took it because the promise of that person of giving her boy's back.

Project [REDACTED] – Log [000-2]

The scientist agrees with the proposal and taking her son remain toward a secret research facility deep inside the mountain. In there, project [REDACTED] was commenced in her hope of seeing her son again. According to the project's goal, it is attempting to create a far more superior Doll but created with what Doll can only imitated through complex calculation and program, a self-consciousness. It is one's attempt to create not a robot, but a machine born from living being's body. A Doll, but not a Doll. A fake Doll.

Using many corpses from World War III's leftover, they had begun their first attempt to creating such Doll. In very first experiment, many failures had been made, but the progress is still on the way. Combining the scientist superior intelligent for bio-technology and [REDACTED]'s over-technological advancement knowledges, after many failures, they were able to create the prototype very first fake-Doll, or F-Doll for short.

Project [REDACTED] – Log [000-3]

Upon succession of their very first F-Doll, the experiment had proceeded to the next stage. The subject, PrFD001 had been tested with several test to see if the subject is capable to do what normal human being able to do. Indeed, it was capable to do every motoric skill and certainly able to think like how human brain do. However, one day they found the fault on this subject. The subject, slowly but surely were able to regain it memory prior the death and once it found it was already death, it began to questioning is it a human or not and slowly showing a sign of a mental-unstableness and as a result, subject PrFD001 commit suicide afterward.

This is a major failure since their first success, yet for them it was a progress toward finding any fault that may happen to the subject. The experiment continued as PrFD002 to PrFD010 was created and been observed for time being. The result indicate that the first fault of this project is the subject's consciousness of being death and later is the regression in their ability of complex thinking. As a result, subjects had been distinguished into two group of results, a suicide group and a lifeless group, which lack of human-like behavior and acting more like a machine under a command.

Project [REDACTED] – Log [000-4]

The experiment continued and some precaution had been made toward the next subjects. The first attempt is to erase their memory aside from necessary one to make sure they won't questioning about their past which may result of the revelation of their death. However, this attempt proved to be fault due the blank part of the memory put the subject on an uneasiness and as a result, the questioning problem is still existing, thus made any different.

The second attempt is to create a fake memory for them, so the blank part won't be appearing and make it easier to hiding the truth of their death. However, another fault had been found as the subject is too loyal and will do every order without questioning it, thus resulting a big mistake once they are tested on real life situation. The experiment seems stuck at the wall, but they are still tried to find the best way to create their superior Doll and to achieve the scientist's goal of resurrect her son without any problem.
