==Story==
{{Spoiler}}
===Wolf Pack Project===
[[File:BG AK-15 MOD.png|thumb|{{doll name|AK-15|AR|5}} fights with {{doll name|AK-12|AR|5}} to determine the stronger Wolf Pack member.]]
Task Force DEFY was born from [[Statesec]]'s Wolf Pack Project, aiming to produce a pair of extremely high-specs [[Tactical Doll]]s: a combat specialist and a tactical command unit. Renowned weapons designer Doctor [[Shaw]] would design the Dolls, who would then be commanded in the field by Captain “[[Angelia]]” Tsoi.<ref name=AN3>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|AN-94|AR|6|costume=costume3}} Neural Upgrade Story 3}}</ref><ref name=AN4>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|AN-94|AR|6|costume=costume3}} Neural Upgrade Story 4}}</ref> Shaw would integrate her own piece of optical equipment, the Wolf Eye System, into the Wolf Pack units.<ref name=AK1 />
Shaw began by creating a prototype unit, dubbed {{doll name|AN-94|AR|5}}. AN-94 was meant to remain in the labs to gather data through test combat and to never fight under real conditions, but Shaw never explained this to AN-94, who believed she was the first member of the Wolf Pack. A few months later, Shaw built what she considered her ultimate creation, the combat expert {{doll name|AK-15|AR|5}}, Wolf Pack Unit 1.
Only two days after being rolled out, AK-15 was deployed in a counter-terrorist operation with a group of [[Griffin & Kryuger]] Dolls and single-handedly crushed all enemy resistance. When AN-94 learned through the Griffin Dolls that her successor had already been deployed, she confronted Shaw, who was convinced by Angelia to explain her role to AN-94.<ref name=AN2>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|AN-94|AR|6|costume=costume3}} Neural Upgrade Story 2}}</ref> Unwilling to remain a prototype and never fight in real operations, AN-94 challenged AK-15 to a duel in order to prove her worth, but she was squarely beaten due to AK-15's overwhelming specs advantage. Shaw scolded AN-94 for provoking the fight and regretted making her too human. Shaw's rejection and her inability to best AK-15 drove AN-94 into the Doll equivalent of depression.
After the incident between AN-94 and AK-15, Ange attempted to talk with Shaw about the human side of Dolls and the negative impact of her rejection on AN-94, but Shaw refused any conversation on the topic. While Shaw surmised that AK-15's brute strength was sufficient to handle any mission, Ange put forward that a Doll capable of leadership and tactical flexibility would be able to surpass her. Ange successfully provoked Shaw into putting serious efforts into Unit 2 to prove AK-15's superiority. Ange also suggested Shaw listens to an upcoming lecture from Doll scientist [[Persica]]. Despite her initial reluctance,<ref name=AN3>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|AN-94|AR|6|costume=costume3}} Neural Upgrade Story 3}}</ref> Shaw took part in Persica's lecture but found her vision for third-generation Dolls naive. Shaw believed that trying to give freedom of choice to Dolls was hypocritical because humans themselves are not free. Instead, Shaw argued that Dolls would become more human if they were granted “defiance”.<ref name=AK1>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|AK-15|AR|6|costume=costume1}} Neural Upgrade Story 1}}</ref>
Ignoring AN-94, Shaw worked on Wolf Pack Unit 2, the tactical command Doll {{doll name|AK-12|AR|5}}.<ref name=AK1 /> On 12 February 2062,<ref name=AN3 /> soon after AK-12 was rolled out, she was put in command of AK-15 and the Wolf Pack was deployed to Kemerovo to deal with a hostage situation. However, 12 took the decision to infiltrate the building and silently take out the terrorists alone, judging 15 unsuited to this approach. With no news of 12 and the situation deteriorating, 15 decided to ignore 12's orders and storm the building from the roof, but caused a VIP to be badly hurt by activating a trap set by the terrorists.<ref name=AK2 /> The operation became known as Incident Zero.<ref name=AK1 /> After the incident, 12 provoked 15 to a hand-to-hand duel to demonstrate her overwhelming strength could not always prevail. 12 feinted to be overwhelmed by 15's attacks so she would drop her guard, then brought her down to the ground and locked her in a grapple. 15 barely stopped 12's knife and attempted to crush 12's wrist and throat, but 12 managed to force the knife down on 15's neck and barely won the duel. Shaw watched over the duel and did not scold 12 for provoking it.<ref name=AK3>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|AK-15|AR|6|costume=costume1}} Neural Upgrade Story 3}}</ref>
Incident Zero negatively impacted the reputation of the Wolf Pack Project<ref name=AK4 /> and 12 refused to work with 15 any longer, instead claiming AN-94 as her partner.<ref name=AN4 /> Angelia was put in charge of this modified Wolf Pack and went on many successful operations, repairing the reputational damage caused by Incident Zero. 94 was retroactively designated as Unit 1, 15 as Unit 2 and 12 as Unit 3.<ref name=AK4>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|AK-15|AR|6|costume=costume1}} Neural Upgrade Story 4}}</ref>
With the originally planned members of Wolf Pack refusing to work together, Shaw decided to create a fourth Doll, who would partner with AK-15 and enable her preferred approach to combat, but would also embody her idea of a Doll meant to “defy”. Shaw called Wolf Pack Unit 4 “Pandora”, formally named {{doll name|RPK-16|MG|5}},<ref name=AK4 /> and purposely omitted the programming preventing her to attack humans,<ref>{{cite|gfl|ms|Möbius Strip}}</ref> thus offering her the choice of “defiance”.<ref>{{cite|gfl|fp|E4-10}}</ref> Accordingly, Shaw changed the name of the squad to Task Force DEFY<ref name=AK4 /> before she disappeared.<ref name=AN4 />
Though it is indicated that the team was officially launched in 2063,<ref name=ab2 /> AK-15 and RPK-16 operated in complete separation of Ange, AK-12 and AN-94 until they were reunited during the Paldiski Incident.<ref name=AN4 />
===Task Force DEFY===
After {{doll name|ST AR-15|AR|4}} used a suicide attack against {{enemy name|Elisa|boss}} during [[Sangvis Ferri]]'s assault on Area S09, Angelia sent [[Squad 404]] recover her body parts as she wanted her skills for DEFY. AR-15 was reassembled and upgraded by [[Dier]] and joined DEFY as a way to prove her individual worth outside of [[AR Team]].<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Chapter 2B1}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|ST AR-15|AR|5|costume=costume2}} Neural Upgrade Story}}</ref> Angelia and DEFY were deployed by [[Statesec]] during the joint assault on [[Sangvis Ferri]]'s main base by [[Griffin & Kryuger]] and the [[KCCO]] to discover the latter's reasons for capturing Elisa.<ref>{{cite|gfl|10-3}}</ref> After the KCCO turned on G&K troops, AK-12 and AR-15 were dispatched to recover M4A1, who accepted to join the team temporarily in order to get revenge on Elisa.<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Chapter 1B2}}</ref> By collating information gathered from hacking KCCO's field servers and transmissions with [[Persica]] and [[Havier Witkin]], DEFY discovered the military's plan,<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Chapter 2A}}</ref> but political pressures prevented Statesec from intervening overtly and Chief [[Zielinski]] ordered DEFY to disrupt KCCO's plans without assistance.<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Chapter 3-1}}</ref> Even with the backup of [[Squad 404]], DEFY failed to capture Elisa and Angelia used a [[Collapse bomb]] provided by Witkin at the risk of her own life to fabricate a motive for Statesec to take political action against the KCCO.<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|End Game}}</ref>
While M4A1 and ST AR-15 chased Elisa after the detonation, AK-12 and AN-94 worked with G&K to extract Angelia from the radiation zone.<ref>{{cite|gfl|ct|Chapter 3-1}}</ref> Angelia considered having DEFY's neural clouds wiped and giving the team to G&K in the event of her death,<ref>{{cite|gfl|ct|Chapter 3-7}}</ref> but she was successfully extracted, M4A1 and AR-15 joined the team back.<ref>{{cite|gfl|12-4E}}</ref> Angelia retained her authority on DEFY despite being considered a traitor by Statesec.
===Belgrade===
When Angelia was offered to work secretly with the German [[Stasi]] under agent [[K]], she and DEFY traveled to Belgrade, where peace talks between the [[Pan-European Union]] and Neo-Soviet Union were soon to be held.<ref name=ISO2A1>{{cite|gfl|iso|Faith of Blood I}}</ref> While AR-15 and AN-94 searched for [[Paradeus]] troops in the city to locate [[Pike]] node A-51-241, Ange, M4A1 and AK-12 monitored the presence of an unusual number of [[ELID]] infected near the containment walls of the city.<ref name=ISO1C1>{{cite|gfl|iso|Beyond the Border I}}</ref> Ange deployed M4 and 12 to assist the city guards against traitors aligned with Paradeus,<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Beyond the Border II}}</ref> but they couldn't prevent them from using explosives to destroy the wall and allow the infected to spread chaos in the city.<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Beyond the Border IV}}</ref> With all of K's agents inside the city killed by Paradeus spies, Ange and DEFY were left alone to control the infected, in order for the Pike node recovery and Griffin's own mission to progress without interference.<ref name=ISO2A1>{{cite|gfl|iso|Faith of Blood I}}</ref>
Meanwhile, AN-94 and AR-15 tracked down the Pike node under the Belgrade Fortress,<ref name=ISO1B3>{{cite|gfl|iso|Cat and Mouse III}}</ref> but they were discovered and attacked by {{enemy name|Nimogen|boss}}.<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Cat and Mouse IV}}</ref> Overwhelmed by the [[Nyto]], 94 asked AR-15 to flee since she had been ordered by 12 to protect her and unlike AR-15, she could backup her Neural Cloud. They separated, but AR-15 used her lack of Zener connections to hide from Nimogen and use the explosives meant to destroy the Pike node to collapse part of the underground and flee with 94, considering her critical to the mission and too important to Angelia to be sacrificed.<ref name=ISO2B1>{{cite|gfl|iso|Wolf and Owl I}}</ref> They were then captured by Sangvis forces led by M16 who had infiltrated the area and forced to guide them back to the Pike node.<ref name=ISO2B4>{{cite|gfl|iso|Wolf and Owl IV}}</ref>
After the situation at the wall became impossible to contain, Ange sent M4A1 and 12 to reinforce 94 and AR-15.<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Under the Wall I & II}}</ref> With 12 fighting the Sangvis forces on the surface, M4 linked up with 94 and AR-15 in the tunnels,<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Shark and the Sea III}}</ref> and they neutralized both Nimogen and Mercurows<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Shark and the Sea VI}}</ref> before going after the Sangvis forces who were fleeing the scene on {{enemy name|Beak|boss}}'s bike with the seized Pike core.<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Above the Hubbub I}}</ref> Giving chase on bikes, DEFY eventually caught up to Beak and M16, who absorbed the Pike node's data and fled.<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Above the Hubbub I through VI}}</ref> After the core was recovered, AR-15 and M4 left DEFY to return to AR Team.<ref>{{cite|gfl|iso|Above the Hubbub VI}}</ref>
Ange tried to steal the Pike core before it was handed over to Statesec but was captured by [[Vympel]] outside Belgrade and sent with K and DEFY to infiltrate the abandoned Paldiski Submarine Base.<ref name=SCIII>{{cite|gfl|sc|Confidential Information III}}</ref>

The team then became quarantined after a power failure caused by Sangvis Ferri's attack. Ange eventually gained the young Nyto's trust to reboot 12 and 94, and they were later freed by Squad 404 who turned the power back on.<refname=PL32>{{cite|gfl|drpl|The Curtain Rises Enantiomer Overload II}}</ref><refname=PL46A>{{cite|gfl|drpl|Light ShowSintering}}</ref>
