There | *“Commander Angelia” route: Angelia's stint at [[Griffin and Kryuger]] in summer 2061, her escape after being accused of murdering Commander Novikov and the fight against {{enemy name|Ganglati|boss}}. There are many inconsistencies: in ''Sunlight in the Blue Room'', LAMG claims she has been serving with Angelia for years at the time of the murder, but in ''The Angelus'', it is also claimed that the serial murders of G&K employees ([[#2060|2060]] according to the first artbook) was the year before, which would place Novikov's murder in 2061, the same year Angelia joined. Moreover, according to {{doll name|AN-94|AR|6|costume=costume3}}'s Neural Upgrade story, AK-12 was rolled out on 12 February 2062, so the events of Angelia fleeing G&K with AK-12 and AN-94 cannot have happened in 2061. Finally, it is known that Angelia parted ways with Griffin during the events of Safe House 3 in 2062, not because she was accused of murder. Kryuger also claims that the inability of Dolls to backup and transfer their memories is an issue soon to be resolved, but the Neural Cloud system was already in place by 2060. | ||
