I own nothing. Enjoy!
Area S09: T-Doll Production Facility
Alise hummed a tune as she typed away at one of the many consoles lining the room. Looking up at the tube sitting behind the console, she smiled at the core that floated in the liquid.
Standing she reached forward and placed a hand on the tube, giggling as the cube seemed to hum in response.
"Oh, my first T-Doll! I can't wait to see what you become!"
Looking back to the console, she quickly finished her inputs and pressed the confirmation key. The console beeped and flashed green as a number that quickly started counting down. The girl raised an eyebrow as she noted the timer.
"Two hours and twenty minutes? Not as long as I thought."
"Well that's because you have me."
Alise jumped at the voice, quickly spinning around to see a smiling woman behind her. The woman had long, unruly blonde hair with vibrant blue eyes. She wore a faded green bikini top, shorts and armored boots.
When Alise calmed down, she returned the smile that the woman was giving her.
"Good morning Rina, nice to see someone else is up early today."
"Well," Rina's eyes narrowed, yet her smile remained; "I have to get up when non authorized personnel enter my Factory."
"Oh, sorry about that. When I woke up this morning, I couldn't help myself."
"Commander, its 3:30 in the morning."
"I don't sleep much."
The woman sighed as she moved to the console, chuckling as she typed some more commands into it. A display screen popped up with technical information that Alise couldn't read. When she finished scanning it she turned back to the girl.
"You got an SMG T-Doll, an interesting first choice."
"How do you know what I built?"
The woman stood, putting her hands in her pockets as she turned to Alise.
"Oh I know the Production Timers for all T-Dolls in the database. Had to program them all into the system myself."
Alise looked back to the tube, but when a question popped into her head she quickly turned back to the woman.
"Why is the timer only for a couple of hours? I thought T-Dolls took multiple days to produce."
The woman, opened her mouth to respond, however she was cut off by a hiss. Both looked to see several mechanical arms lower into the tube. When they started forming material onto the cube Rina returned her attention back to Alise.
"To the question at hand, I am the reason. When I was first assigned to this base I realized that how close S09 is to the front line, we would need faster production in case anything happened. So, I tinkered around for a bit and managed to enhance the system."
Turning back to the tube she smiled when she saw the beginnings of a torso taking shape. The woman then turned and quickly began pushing Alise away from the tube.
"Alright Commander, you need to leave. Don't want to embarrass the poor girl when she gets finished."
"But, how will I know when she's complete?"
"I'll send her to the Command Center to meet you."
With that Alise was quickly pushed out of the room, she turned her head to Rina as the woman let go of her.
"Do you know if anyone else is up at this time?"
"You could try Helianthus, that woman never sleeps."
And with that the door quickly slid shut, leaving the girl alone in the hallway. Standing there Alise started thinking of what to do, until her stomach growled at her. Sighing she pulled back her sleeve and looked down to her watch.
"Sorry stomach, the Mess Hall wouldn't be open now."
Receiving another growl, Alise simply shook her head as she began walking in the direction of the Command Center.
Command Center
"Good morning, Commander."
"Morning, Ms. Helian."
The woman turned her chair to face Alise, a scowl clearly evident. Raising an eyebrow she shifted her gaze to the Helian's side, and quickly spotted Kalina. The girl's head was resting on a pile of parts and paperwork. From the light snores coming from the girl, Alise could tell she was very much asleep.
Returning her attention to Helian she gave her an apologetic smile.
"She didn't last long did she?"
"No, but what is one to expect when having a welcoming party with AK-47."
The woman then reached behind her and picked up a data pad. She held it out to Alise, who eagerly accepted it.
"That is the training simulation I put together for you. If you are to be the Commander for this base, you will need to know how to command T-Dolls in combat scenarios."
"Alright, but are there any active T-Dolls who I can use for this?"
"No," Helian shook her head; "sadly the majority of T-Dolls at this base are retired and no longer have any combat functionality."
As the woman turned back to her console the door to the room hissed open. Alise turned to see the girl from her room walk into the room. However, instead of a nightgown she was wearing a white t-shirt with a black tie, dark gray skirt, and purple and gray sneakers.
As Alise again found herself staring at how cute her uniform was, the girl gave a salute as Helian also turned around.
"Oh, M200? I completely forgot you were stationed at this base. Where were you?"
The T-Doll didn't respond, she only gestured to Alise as she raised a gloved finger to her mouth. Helian sighed as she moved past Alise, crossing her arms as the T-Doll gave her a blank look.
"How many times have I told you to stay out of the Commander's room?"
Again the girl didn't respond, only moving to gesture towards the door. Again Helian sighed.
"I don't care how loud Carcano M1891 was being. You were told not to go in that room."
The girl then looked away from Helian, how stomped her foot as she leaned towards the T-Doll.
"Don't take that tone with me!"
Alise shifted her attention between the two, not knowing what to say. However, when Helian looked like she was about to go off on the girl, she decided to cut in.
"I don't mind that she wanted to use my room. I got a good look at how adorable she looked when she was sleeping."
Both Helian and M200 paused and turned to the girl, she chuckled as she scratched the back of her head. As M200 blushed, Helian cleared her throat and turned back to Alise.
"Getting back on track, Commander would you like to use M200 for this exercise?"
"If that's fine with her."
Alise looked towards M200, who quickly met her gaze and instantly looked to the floor, her cheeks turning a darker shade of red. However, as the girl again put her finger up to her mouth she slowly nodded. Helian noticed this and sighed as she gave Alise a scowl.
"Alright then, we can begin the simulation. However, I wanted you to do this with more that one T-Doll, but this will have to do."
"Well then, it's good that I'm here."
The three turned to the door to see Rina walk into the room. She gave Alise a toothy grin as crossed her arms. Movement behind the woman caused Alise to shift her attention to behind Rina.
Hiding behind the woman was a short girl with long platinum blonde hair and deep blue eyes. She wore a black and red dress with a small red beret sitting on top of her head. Alise let out a little 'aw' as Rina pushed the girl in front of her.
"This is Gr-MP5, the T-Doll that you ordered."
The girl fidgeted as she looked up to Alise, she then rushed forward and wrapped her arms around Alise in a hug. She nuzzled the front of Alise's shirt before she slowly looked up to the girl.
"Hi Commander. I hope I can be of use to you."
Alise chuckled as she slowly placed a hand onto the girl's head.
"Of course, welcome aboard."
The girl let out a giggle as she pushed her head into Alise's hand. The girl then looked back to Helian with a smile.
"Alright Ms. Helian, it looks like I have my unit."
"Yes, then I will have AK-47 lead you to the Testing Area. I have to wake Kalina up and start on getting the simulation running."
With that Helian walked past the group and back to her console. Alise looked up to Rina, who winked as she moved towards the door.
"Alright girls, this way."
As the three started to leave the room, Alise quickly stopped as a sudden realization came to mind. M200 and Gr-MP5 gave her worried looks, only for her to smile.
"I'm sorry, I just realized I needed to name you guys."
Both T-Dolls looked to each other before returning their attention to the girl. Alise then nodded as she shifted her gaze to M200.
"Alright, you'll be...Ange."
Ange paused and nodded as she quickly grew accustomed to the new name. As she did this Alise looked down to Gr-MP5.
"And you will be...Naomi!"
As soon as the name left her lips, Gr-MP5 jumped and pulled her into another hug.
"Thank you Commander!"
Alise then chuckled as Naomi let go, she then looked at the two T-Dolls and nodded as she began walking out of the room.
"Alright, let's show them what we can do."
Naomi cheered and Ange nodded and the three quickly left the room. This left Helian alone as the woman tried to suppress her smile.
"She really is like you Kryuger. That gives me so much hope for the coming days."
Pulling up the simulation on her console she quickly began typing, pausing only as she heard another snore come from Kalina. Her eye twitching she quickly picked up a small tool and tossed it at the sleeping girl. It bounced off of the girl's head, causing Kalina to quickly jump up, gripping the injured part of her head. Looking around the room she quickly settled on Helian as her eyes narrowed.
"Oww, did you really need to do that?"
"Oh be quiet and begin simulation 1-1."
"Why? Did I miss something."
"Plenty, but that can wait, now start the program."
Kalina opened her mouth to retort, but another tool bouncing off of her head caused her to stop.
"Alright, alright, I'll start it up. Just please stop throwing things, Rina's party is still killing me."
Another chapter complete, I hope you enjoyed!
Introducing the members of Alise's Echelon! The Echelons that will be used in this story will be based on the ones I use in the game. With some changes here and there.
Also, showing off the concept of Retired T-Dolls. Most people I see seem to think that retiring a T-Doll is destroying them. However, in the world of the game it is the simple act of removing their weapons and programs that deal with combat.
So, it makes sense to me that some T-Dolls would choose to rejoin the military when they become Civilian T-Dolls.
Anyway, I apologize for any oddities with the writing, I am attempting to fit the plot of the game into a comedic story. During combat it will be easier, so look forward to that. Also, I was kind of feeling a bit lazy when writing this chapter, I apologize about that.
Again, I hope you enjoyed.
Have a nice day!
