After [[Battle of Frankfurt|Coronation Storm]] and the announcement of [[the Commander]]'s disappearance, Kalina urgently took a flight to Frankfurt while still convalescent to investigate, arriving two days after the end of the battle. She broke into an [[IOP]] warehouse where the Griffin Dolls deactivated by the [[Nidhogg Protocol]] were stored, and reactivated {{doll name|Tokarev|HG|3}} to help her. Kalina and Tokarev investigated the [[Elmo]] and found traces of access to its database. They needed to enter the White Zone to inspect the last known position of the Commander, but [[Kryuger]] refused to help Kalina enter since he had been trying to convince her to start living peacefully in the Green Zone and stop putting herself in danger. Kryuger nominally expelled Kalina from Griffin for her insistence. | |||
[[Havier Witkin]] instead helped Kalina enter the White Zone. After breaking into the perimeter of the tank explosion where the Commander was last seen, Tokarev investigated the ruined tank's interior while Kalina searched the area. Tokarev found that the explosion was too powerful to have been caused by the tank itself, advanced T-Doll parts, and blood suspected to belong to the Commander but no human tissues, hinting that they were wounded but still alive. Kalina found the Commander's ripped-up coat caught on nearby debris, and fainted from the shock and fatigue. Tokarev took her to a nearby hospital where she was ordered to avoid any activity for one day, but she returned to investigating soon after recovering her strength at a restaurant. | |||
Thinking that there would be traces of the Commander in the emergency care network of Frankfurt since they were hurt, Tokarev broke into the hospital's logistics network. Her intrusion was nearly discovered, but Kalina pretended to be a logistics administrator of the hospital and prevented the personnel from discovering Tokarev. In the network, they discovered a vehicle that had disappeared while carrying a set of drugs previously standardized by Kalina and the Commander after the [[Paldiski Incident]]. Tracking down the vehicle, Kalina and Tokarev were joined by {{doll name|CZ-805|AR|3}}, {{doll name|C14|RF|3}} and {{doll name|Six12|SG|3}}, and followed a trail of carved Griffin codes into the city's Cold War-era bunker network. | |||
While trying to open a blast door, they were attacked by security [[Automaton]]s, and the Dolls sacrificed themselves to allow Kalina in. Kalina was faced by a second door locked by a code, which she tried to open by inputting the Commander's birthday, her own birthday, the date of the [[Great Retreat]], and finally the date of the Commander arrival at Area S09, which opened the door. The reunion of Kalina and the Commander was short-lived, since Witkin had only allowed Kalina into the White Zone so she would guide him to the Commander's hiding place. Witkin's approaching troops were the reason the automatons had been activated. The Commander surrendered without resisting and Kalina was left behind. She was nearly killed by a surviving security automaton, but was saved by {{doll name|UMP45|SMG|5|costume=costume3}}.<ref>{{cite|gfl|[[Roche Limit]]}}</ref> | |||
45 took Kalina to [[Squad 404]]'s safe house in the city and explained that the Commander had meant to be captured as part of their plan to confront [[William]]. They were joined by [[Beluga]] soon after.<ref>{{cite|gfl|[[Virtual Pair]], E10}}</ref> | |||

Kalina appears in many Neural Upgrade stories as the one in charge of the administrative processes of Doll maintenance and Neural Upgrades. | |||
At the start of [[Bounty Feast]], Kalina is tortured by the crashing finances of the base and the incoming dip of her popularity in adjutant circles when a game tournament with a cash prize of 10 million dollars appears on Grifchan. Because humans can't compete against the Dolls engaged in the game,<ref name=BF0>{{cite|gfl|[[Bounty Feast]], Chapter 0}}</ref> the Commander allows a team made of {{doll name|K5|HG|4}}, {{doll name|R93|RF|5}}, {{doll name|PP-90|SMG|4}} and commanded by {{doll name|Vector|SMG|5}} to participate in their stead to win the prize. Watching them play, Kalina gets the idea to organize a betting scene to ensure they gain money from the operation.<ref>{{cite|gfl|[[Bounty Feast]], Chapter 1, part. 3}}</ref> Though the prize ended up being a fake created by {{doll name|RFB|AR|5}} and {{doll name|MDR|AR|5}},<ref name=BF0 /> the Dolls used enough of their salary on the bets to avoid the base's bankruptcy.<ref>{{cite|gfl|[[Bounty Feast]], Chapter 5, part. 2}}</ref> | At the start of [[Bounty Feast]], Kalina is tortured by the crashing finances of the base and the incoming dip of her popularity in adjutant circles when a game tournament with a cash prize of 10 million dollars appears on Grifchan.

In [[One Coin Short]], Kalina introduces the base to a game where every employee receives a coin to give to their favorite person, and the one with the most coin by Christmas would have a wish granted by [[the Commander]], creating all kinds of chaotic events. | In [[One Coin Short]], Kalina introduces the base to a game where every employee receives a coin to give to their favorite person, and the one with the most coin by Christmas would have a wish granted by [[the Commander]], creating all kinds of chaotic events. | ||
Kalina hosts a late-night radio show, “Radio Kalin”, where she reads messages from the listeners and provides advice.<ref>{{cite|gfl|[[Kalina]], DIALOGUE10 adjutant dialogue}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|[[Griffin Memories/Becoming a Star]]}}</ref> As shown in [[Notebook/Baywatch|Baywatch]], {{doll name|AA-12|SG|5}} is a huge fan of her program. | |||
====In-game mail==== | |||
Mail received after maxing affection, containing the Rock 'n' Spanner costume as reward. | |||
'''Invitation to a Rock Concert Rehearsal''' | |||
Dear Commander, | |||
Do you like rock music? Have you ever seen a live rock band? | |||
I happen to have formed a band a while ago, and after practicing for a long time, we're thinking about having our debut concert at the base! | |||
However! To ensure everything goes well, we must first see if our practice has paid off. | |||
That's why, I would like to invite you to our rehearsal before the concert. We will put on an absolutely metal show "fully armed", and and we hope you would give us some comments and advice. | |||
Your input is crucial to the success of our actual performance! | |||
Kalina | |||

[[Convolutional Kernel]] mail - 2024-12-12 (Final day of the original CN server) | |||
'''What will your life be like without us?''' | |||
Commander, | |||
I was discharged from the hospital today, but the one who should have welcomed me back isn’t there… | |||
It was Miss Helian, instead. She said you had a vital mission to complete, and you can come back to rebuild the base once you’re done. | |||
We went to assess the base, or rather the ruins of the base. We have a lot of work ahead of us, so hurry back, I have a lot of ideas! | |||
On the way back, Miss Helian asked me if I believe in parallel worlds and multiple timelines. Maybe there’s one where I’m your boss instead? | |||
I don’t believe in that. The only real world is the one we live in and other worlds are an illusion, a daydream fantasy. | |||
I did imagine another world though, one where there’d be no Relic technology, no war, no ELID and no Dolls… | |||
Only normal people living busy lives, where tomorrow is the same as yesterday. | |||
You’d be like that too, Commander, following the same road and walking the same fixed path, and I… Hmm… | |||
I guess it would be like when we first met, I would run up to you, and say “Morning, Commander!”, and then… What would normal people do, actually? | |||
Snatch your wallet right away? Ask politely before doing it? Hehe, I’m just joking! I (probably) wouldn’t be stealing your wallet in every timeline! | |||
But that can never happen, right? You said it yourself, we’ll always be side-by-side, and you’re someone who does good on promises. | |||
But if you end up in a world where we can’t be together… | |||
Then make sure you live a good life, make plenty of money and save up. | |||
So that once your wallet is ready to burst, I’ll appear at a crossroad, walk up to you, say “Good morning, Commander!”, and you’ll give me all your money! | |||
It'll be your punishment for suddenly disappearing! | |||

When the [[URNC]] forcibly downsized [[Griffin & Kryuger]] in late 2064, [[the Commander]] suddenly left the company to escape the URNC's control, and didn't ask Kalina to join them as to not endanger her. Also dissatisfied with G&K's new condition, Kalina left the company and joined the URNC's Non-Military Forces Administration along with [[Kryuger]].<ref name=GF241 /> By 2074, Kalina had become a Senior Counselor of the agency.<ref name=GF261>{{cite|gfl2|SL-6-1}}</ref> Along with [[Helian]], she helped the former Griffin Dolls who remained in the Green and White Zones,<ref>{{cite|gfl2|[[Dusty Memories]], The Measure of a Senior}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl2|[[Dusty Memories]], Home is in the Heart}}</ref> and she secretly continued to monitor the Commander's activities, but neither had the courage to make contact again after their sudden separation.<ref name=GF241 /> Kalina continued to work with [[Dandelion]] as a free agent<ref name=GF261 /> as well of the members of [[H.I.D.E. 404]]. | |||
====TASK-3115==== | |||
In early 2074, Kalina and [[Lenna]] investigated the [[Girard Group]]'s activities in Odesa, and learned about a mysterious box registered for transport by a [[B.R.I.E.F.]] bounty hunter.<ref name=GF242>{{cite|gfl2|SL-4-2}}</ref> To monitor the box, she had the bounty assigned to a hunter of trust, the Commander. After discovering the contents of the box, [[Helena]], the Commander resolved to find Kalina and hand Helena to her. Kalina and the Commander's reunion after ten years was awkward, with Kalina initially insisting they don't call her “Kalin” and refusing to call them “Commander”.<ref name=GF241>{{cite|gfl2|SL-4-1}}</ref> The Commander felt that though they had not changed, Kalina had.<ref name=DR>{{cite|gfl|dr|Foreshadowed Voyage}}</ref><ref name=GF241 /> | |||
