Makarov had seen how the trap had activated, the different walls of energy that had completely destroyed the central building and that had separated the T-Dolls, the girl had been amazed by Sangvis Ferri's cunning, she would never have imagined such a plot by the enemy. SCW helped Stechkin to get back on her feet and Serdyukov was gone so Makarov asked SCW:

" Where's Serdyukov? "

" She was taken in full by one of those walls, she died. I received a message from PA-15, she's fine and has seen G36C and 9A-91 being killed by Alchemist, at the moment that bastard is fighting against OTs-14. "

" Groza ... "

" Mosin-Nagant and RPD are safe for now but have not yet evacuated the area. We have to retire, Makarov. "

" This is implicit but running away like frightened rabbits is useless, we must deactivate this trap to allow an organized retreat. " Makarov glanced at one corner of the reinforced concrete wall and noticed that there was a metal column that was generating the energy needed to keep the electrical wall stable. " We must do something with this. "

" Do you have any idea? "

" Maybe ... but it's nothing for sure. " Makarov carefully checked the column and noted that there were no wires or particular computers that could control the walls of energy, then she concluded. " They were activated remotely. Maybe with a remote control or something like that. "

SCW noticed that there was a Dinergate on the rubble of the building that was immobile, that little robot was exactly in their fraction of space.

" Hey, Makarov, don't you find it strange that there's only one Dinergate? "

" Hmm ... it's actually very strange. " The Dinergate realized it was being watched by the two Dolls and immediately looked for a place to take refuge. " Let's chase it! "Exclaimed Makarov.

" One step away from death and chasing a Dinergate ... will I ever have a break? "

" Catch that little bastard! " Makarov exclaimed while chasing the Dinergate.

" But what do we do once we get it? Destroy it or open it? "

" Both. "

" I ... er ... I don't think that's a good idea. Fuck! " SCW slowed down with Makarov as soon as the Dinergate passed the electric wall.

" Order that stupid PA-15 to catch that Dinergate! I want it destroyed! "

" Yes, yes ... "

Meanwhile OTs-14 was fighting Alchemist. She was injured in her right side and no matter how much she shot she never managed to hit her enemy; Alchemist raised her arms and started shooting in turn and injured the right leg of OTs-14, the girl fell to the ground.

" What a pathetic sight. " Alchemist said with her demonic grin. " I could even get bored punishing you, you're not that entertaining. "

" Why don't you just ... kill me? "

" Because you're important to Sangvis Ferri, our leader sees potential in you, you should be honored, OTs-14. "

" I didn't do anything special ... you crazy bitch! "

" Eh, eh, eh! We've seen you, we've observed you for a long time, we've been keeping an eye on you, your curiosity is what makes you the perfect candidate for absolute liberation. You doubt humans, yes? You doubt their honesty and purity of mind, yes? This is what makes you special. What if I told you it's all true? What if I told you you can't trust humans? What if I told you that your fears are real? "

" I'm not going to listen to you, Alchemist. Believe it or not ... I don't trust my enemies but only my intuition. "

" Ah, ah! Excellent! Wonderful! Will you get up, yes? You'll get up to continue being punished by me! "Alchemist exclaimed laughing.

" Do you think you're scaring me? " OTs-14 was standing with the rifle in her hand determined to continue the battle.

" Perfect ... "

Alchemist accelerated with an impressive speed and collided with OTs-14, she started hitting her with her blades and OTs was forced to throw herself on the ground to avoid being injured again; OTs got up, fired but Alchemist dodged all the bullets and disarmed OTs and then got ready to give her the coup de grace.
OTs-14 quickly avoided Alchemist's attack and counterattacked with an elbow aimed at the opponent's neck, then hit her with two punches in the face and finally, with an uppercut, knocked her out. Alchemist jumped up and laughingly exclaimed:

" Yes! Yes! You're fantastic! I'm going to chastise you with pleasure, bad girls must all be punished! "

" You're disgusting and THIS bad girl is going to leave the mark of her heels on your imbecile face. "

" Ah, ah! We'll see, yes? "

Alchemist tried to hit OTs-14 but she immediately counterattacked with a straight punch to the opponent's stomach, OTs grabbed Alchemist's head and hit her with several knees until she opened a fracture in her forehead; grabbed her right arm, bent it and stood behind Alchemist and then kicked the opponent's leg to make her kneel, and then put a foot on her head and started to pull her right arm to tear it.

" Bitch! " Exclaimed Alchemist.

" I'm going to tear this fucking arm off and stick it down your throat, so at least I'll make that fucking mouth of yours useful! " Affirmed OTs-14.

" You're a damned scrap of metal! Sangvis Ferri doesn't need someone like you! "

Alchemist shot blindly with her left arm and hit the right shoulder of OTs-14, freed herself from the grip and tried to decapitate her opponent but OTs was fast enough to be able to dodge the attack however Alchemist started to shoot and this time with the intent to kill. OTs had to approach Alchemist, grabbed both her arms and lifted them so as not to get hit.

" You'll have to do better than that if you want to kill me. "

" You really want to die, yes? Oh yes ... it will be a lot of fun to see you turn off." Suddenly the walls of energy shut down. " What's happening?" She saw PA-15 arrive together with Makarov and SCW and then, realizing that she was in a distinct numerical disadvantage, she kicked OTs-14, fired to stave off the other T-Dolls and immediately withdrew muttering. " It's not over, OTs-14. "

With Alchemist's escape, the mission officially ended and the T-Dolls returned to Griffin & Kryuger base to report the situation. Makarov and Mosin-Nagant met Helianthus and told her everything that had happened in Warsaw.

" So G36C, 9A-91 and Serdyukov were the only victims of the operation, I see from these data that you've also collected information regarding the type of trap used by Alchemist, perfect. We'll have this information installed in their database when they will be rebuilt, in this way they will not lose the memory of that clash. Now, Makarov, Mosin-Nagant, tell me about OTs-14. "

" She's unstable. " Makarov said. " My opinion of her hasn't changed. OTs-14 questions humanity, our own creators, which is why she could easily be corrupted by Sangvis Ferri. "

" I personally believe that OTs-14 still suffers from the loss of our commander. I can understand her way of doing. " Mosin-Nagant reported.

" So you, Makarov, you think she's dangerous while you, Mosin-Nagant, think she's just nostalgic? Mmmh ... can I ask you a question? What do you think a human's trust in a machine is based on? "

The two girls looked at Helianthus confused and silent without knowing how to answer such a question.

" I imagined. Let's pretend we have a car. When you get into the car and start driving, you expect it to execute every command without protesting: when you turn the steering wheel to the right the car goes to the right and when you turn it to the left it goes to the left. But if the car has its own will, then trust no longer rests on the simple execution of a command but on the stability that the car will have in any situation, otherwise the human will not feel safe inside it. But where there's doubt there's a lack of stability because there's no certainty and this is a problem. Nostalgia can be good but also bad and danger is a very serious incriminating factor. So I need more detailed information to know what steps to take. "

" Like I said she's unstable. Groza has changed a lot and she herself told us on the return trip that Alchemist was interested in her. "

" Sangvis Ferri wants OTs-14, huh? This is interesting. "

" They're probably attracted to her abnormal way of doing. "

" If this is indeed the case, perhaps we can exploit this situation to our advantage. I'll talk to Mr. Kryuger about it, you two did a great job, keep it up. "

" I can't go on like this. " Mosin-Nagant said. " I'm sorry, but I can't keep lying to Groza, she must know what's going on otherwise she won't trust me anymore and won't trust you either, Makarov. "

" If you reveal everything to OTs-14, you risk making things worse. OTs-14 has doubts about humans and holds us responsible for the death of your commander. At the moment she has problems but she can come in handy to fight the Sangvis Ferri. Do you really want to thwart our plans, Mosin-Nagant? "

" Yes! "

" While knowing that doing this would endanger all Griffin & Kryuger? "

" I'm willing to follow my heart to the end! "

" Very well. I respect your decision. " Helianthus nodded to Makarov and she took out the gun and shot Mosin-Nagant in the head. " Good job, Makarov. "

" I'm doing my job. What will become of Nagant? "

" She will be rebuilt, she will still remember you and your commander, but she will have no memory of your mission in Warsaw and our discussions. Now it's just you and me, Makarov, I trust you. "

" So do I have to kill Groza? "

" No. For now we will use her as bait to force the Sangvis Ferri to come out, in the meantime keep an eye on her and tell me everything she does. "

" All right. " Makarov then looked at Mosin-Nagant's lifeless body and commented: " Persica will not be happy about this. "

" About what? Mosin-Nagant was never killed, all of this was an unfortunate accident, nothing more. "
