Lawful Good alignment character, RO emits a strong aura of justice around her, much of her speech and quotes resembles an officer of the law. Logical and rational thought processes renders RO as one of the few "normal" T-dolls in the entire game. However she is a little bit shy when it comes to interacting with others in a non-commanding position, she can be easily embarrassed when approached too rashly.


Being a member of AR squadron, she interacted with the story and many other characters, the player bared witness to her personality and character development. Despite that she knows she was born to lead or back-up the leading in a self-sustained T-doll squadron, she sometimes lack the confident in her leadership ability, to some extend she feels like something always goes wrong or against her while she is commanding. Through the encouragement of many T-dolls under her command she gradually gained the confident as a leader.
As shown in her voice lines, RO635 is the most responsible member of [[AR Team]], keeping an eye on other members and trying her best to keep them on their best behavior. RO has been designed to have a profound respect for {{doll name|M4A1|AR|4}} by understanding her unique position and responsibilities, while the other members originally only received orders to protect her.<ref name=CT19 /> As she remarked multiple times, she was specifically created with advanced electronic warfare capabilities to save M4A1 from attacks on her [[Neural Cloud]].<ref name=C101E /><ref name=C75 /><ref>[[Singularity]], Last Resort III</ref> She also has a particular relationship to {{doll name|ST AR-15|AR|4}}, who assisted in her training.<ref name=C104 /><ref name=CT19 /> She considered avenging AR-15's death her main goal during her early days in Griffin.<ref name=C74E /> RO also has great respect for M16A1's experience while M16A1 consider RO more suitable in a command role than M4A1,<ref>[[Arctic Warfare]], Homecoming I</ref><ref>{{cite|gf|8-2E}}</ref> but M16A1's independent mind sometimes clashed with RO's strictness. SOP-II immediately grew fond of RO as she fell asleep on her lap on her first encounter,<ref name=C76 /> and they have since established a strong bond through the hardships they encountered as the only members of AR Team before M4 and AR-15's return. RO still doesn't approve of SOP-II's violent fighting style.<ref name=C93E /> Unlike the rest of AR Team, RO can back up her neural cloud and is not "mortal", but because she is not officially working for Griffin & Kryuger her memories are kept by [[the Commander]] and transferring them to a new body is a more tedious process she prefers to avoid.<ref name=C106 />


Being a T-doll of justice, RO enjoys collecting law enforcement films made before WW3, such as films of anti-crime and detective genre, but dislikes mafia films. She also enjoys watching CGI films. Player base would suggest that another one of RO's part time hobby would include singing, however she might be really bad at it. Some point in the story line RO revealed that her speaking voice is louder than average T-dolls, that might be because of that speaker phone she carries with her all the time, it is also notable that in her dorm chibi, RO speaks to other T-doll through a speaker phone.

{{Spoiler}}
{{Incomplete|reason=Isomer story and after}}
=== Creation and training ===
[[Persica]] created RO635 by adjusting the plans used for other members of [[AR Team]] to reduce the amount of [[Lunasia]]'s personality, giving her more liberty in the development of her [[Neural Cloud]]. As the simulated processing AI she used to create RO was very stable, her data specification made her a potential blueprint for third-generation Dolls. Persica took inspiration from [[Lycoris]]' work to create a T-Doll with flexible and trainable emotion systems.


{{Spoiler|target=Game_Data}}
While she was the Doll with the highest specs ever created by Persica, RO consistently failed her initial run of simulated missions supervised by {{doll name|ST AR-15|AR|4}}. This was because RO chose to sacrifice {{doll name|M4A1|AR|4}} every time, which was considered a fatal decision despite RO not being ordered to protect her. This way, Persica encouraged RO to understand the importance of M4A1 on an emotional level rather than a strategic one. Persica wanted RO to “learn to like M4A1, learn to like the world and learn to like [herself]”, as liking all three would become the reasons behind all her actions. To this effect, RO was involved early in live operations with other Dolls and humans to develop her emotional intelligence and practical knowledge.<ref name=CT19 /> RO took part in many law enforcement missions, going on long stakeouts to catch criminals<ref>{{cite|gf|11-1}}</ref> and witnessing many cases of anti-Dolls violence.<ref>{{cite|gf|11-2}}</ref>


=== Palette Squadron and File 36 ===
===Team Palette ===
RO's first story appearance. She arrived at G&K to complete an assigned mission while leading a makeshift squadron going by the name Palette Squadron.
Upon finally joining [[Griffin & Kryuger]], RO635 was assigned to the [[Team Palette]] task force with {{doll name|Type 92|HG|3}} as her adjutant, {{doll name|AAT-52|MG|2}}, {{doll name|Sten MkII|SMG|3}} and {{doll name|Makarov|HG|3}} to practice using her command module by giving orders remotely like a human commander would.<ref name=71E /> Their mission was to retrieve Document 36, a database of criminal records lost during the recent evacuation of a settlement in area S09.<ref name=C43 /> Intending to carry the mission before [[Sangvis Ferri]] troops would lock the area down, RO decided to deploy the team as soon as AAT found a lead during her recon, without waiting for Makarov to come back from Griffin HQ with further directive. AAT had found that the document was in possession of a human who had not evacuated, but Type92 had to remind RO that unlike her previous jobs, this would complicate the mission as G&K T-Dolls did not have permission to be aggressive against humans without special authorizations.<ref>{{cite|gf|4-1N}}</ref>


RO was assigned to G&K with the mission of recovering "File 36". Three other T-dolls consisting of {{doll name|Type 92|HG|3}}, {{doll name|AAT-52|MG|2}} and {{doll name|Sten MkII|SMG|3}} were assembled together just for this mission, with a cameo appearance of {{doll name|Makarov|HG|3}}. According to Type 92, her temporary adjutant, they are all misfits within G&K, hence the name Palette fits them quite well, with all their colourful personalities. RO's command module was meant to be tested and fine-tuned by leading this "Bad Company". She also gained quite a lot of experience and friendship while commanding this band of misfits.
Confident that they would not need to resort to violence, RO sent Palette to the nearby shelter to find the person of interest, but he wasn't there. Type 92 scolded RO for underestimating the chaos of the battlefield and not having prepared plans to cover multiple eventualities. When Sten reported the human had locked himself in a building to try and destroy the document, RO put Type 92's critics in practice by ordering her to neutralize the human if necessary while prioritizing her own safety.<ref>{{cite|gf|4-2N}}</ref> However, a [[Jupiter Cannon]] shot landed on the building and Sten only managed to extract the wounded human. RO ordered her to go back inside to seize the document while Type 92 and AAT would handle the wounded. However, Sten found herself conflicted between RO's orders and the order to destroy the document the man gave her before passing out, as humans theoretically held greater authority than Dolls. RO recognized the man as a criminal who was trying to destroy the criminal records and revealed her authorizations as a member of AR Team were as high as a human. She ordered Sten to comply with her orders as Dolls should not consider themselves slaves to the humans. But enough time had passed for the next Jupiter round to strike, and RO panicked when Palette's signal was lost, asking the absent AR-15 for help.<ref name=C43>{{cite|gf|4-3N}}</ref>


The operation began when 92 fetched an updated location information of File 36. A field operative T-doll named AAT-52 had it, but she was also trapped in the city, making the initial stage a rescue operation for AAT. After rescuing AAT, she revealed the location of File 36 to be under the possession of an unidentified human within the city. Arriving at the location of the safe house AAT provided, however, the human was missing along with all evidence.
Makarov came back from HQ at the same moment and teased RO for calling AR-15's name. RO assigned Makarov to the command room and went into the battlefield herself to reestablish communications with Palette. Makarov revealed that Griffin HQ had recovered data left behind by AR-15, and that RO would have to be careful not to die if she wanted to access it later. As RO and Makarov were realizing that the shots were not random but a way for the enemy to toy with them, a shell landed near RO and knocked her out. RO's sudden arrival also steered the Sangvis Ferri troops away from Palette, giving Makarov enough time to deploy reinforcements. As Palette dug RO out of the debris, RO had a last vision or AR-15, who warned her of the hardships to come and that they might never be able to meet. As the team evacuated the area of operation with the objective, the members realized that Palette would soon be disbanded as they were a temporary team, but promised they would cherish the experience they gained and meet again.<ref name=C44>{{cite|gf|4-4N}}</ref> Team Palette would however remain active as a unit despite the original plan.


The human was then found by Sten MkII. Over radio communication, Sten reported that the human locked himself in an office room refusing to come out. Sten also reported a large Ferri infrastructure being established near the city outskirts. RO quickly relocated the unit towards Sten's location. Upon arriving at the office building, the large Ferri infrastructure is confirmed to be a Jupiter cannon. Sangvis Ferri begin to bombard the city. A Jupiter cannon scored a direct hit on the office building the human hid himself in. With the human critically wounded and dragged outside by Sten, 92 and AAT promised to perform first aid on him while Sten re-entered the building to search for the file.
=== Against Dreamer ===
[[File:CG7-6.png|thumb|SOP-II asleep on RO's lap.]]
When {{enemy name|Dreamer|boss}} attacked the quarantine facility in area S05 where AR Team was being held for [[Parapluie]] screening after the battle at area S08, [[Persica]] sent RO to help [[the Commander]] break Sangvis Ferri's siege. RO quickly discovered Dreamer's location in a communication outpost northeast of the facility and asked the Commander to seize it to disrupt SF's troops deployment.<ref name=C75>{{cite|gf|7-5}}</ref> She then infiltrated the facility, and using her own anti-Parapluie capabilities and command module, she lifted the jamming caused by {{enemy name|Elisa|boss}} and directed the Dolls in the base to counter-attack after they were sent in disarray when {{doll name|M4A1|AR|4}} was rendered comatose by Elisa's hacking.


Before Sten could secure the document, another wave of artillery strikes hit and RO lost contact with all of her team members on the field. RO panicked and fell into despair, thinking that she caused her team's deaths until Makarov enters the scene with updated Intel. Ferri might be testing their Jupiter cannon's destructive power on that city. According to Makarov, the shots appeared to be random, so the chances of RO's team's survival is high. Hearing this, RO regained some morale. She deployed Makarov into the city to rescue the other members of Palette squadron. While en-route to her location, Makarov proposed that the artillery strike might not have been random, that they might be the tricks of the Ferri's leader. Not a second later, an artillery shell landed on RO's field command post. However, all of RO's command unit was safe. They rushed back to RO's command post and, in a joint effort, they dug the unconscious RO out of the debris.
After Sangvis Ferri's retreat, RO first met the Commander in person and made her report with {{doll name|M4 SOPMOD II|AR|4}} asleep on her lap. She informed the Commander that Persica had deployed her without informing Griffin HQ and that they should be discreet as to her involvement. She also had informed Persica of M4A1's state, and had been designated as the new leader of AR Team.<ref name=C76>{{cite|gf|7-6}}</ref> Her first mission in this role was to track down and eliminate Dreamer in area S05. RO enlisted the help of Team Palette for the mission, but as she and M16A1 linked up with Palette, SOP-II's location was hit by a [[Jupiter Cannon]] shot.<ref name=71E>{{cite|gf|7-1E}}</ref> RO dispatched M16A1 and Makarov to check on SOP-II's situation while she and the rest of Palette would neutralize the nearby cannons<ref>{{cite|gf|7-3E}}</ref> using the Sangvis Ferri authorizations found by AR Team during their previous raid on Safe House 3. Having eventually destroyed the local Dreamer dummy, RO parted with Team Palette again, made her mission report to the Commander and Persica and shared a drink with M16A1. At this occasion, she renewed her promise to avenge {{doll name|ST AR-15|AR|4}}'s death.<ref name=C74E>{{cite|gf|7-4E}}</ref>
 
Fortunately, RO only suffered minor injuries. Makarov called an extraction team to evacuate Palette squadron out of the city. With File 36 in hand, Palette squadron's operation is accomplished, but with the city now in ruins. Palette squadron disbanded after this operation as RO was needed to replace {{doll name|ST AR-15|AR|4}} in the AR squadron. This short time they've had together left a deep friendship between them and RO as comrades.
 
=== Mario Princess Facility ===
RO's first appearance is in chapter 7, when she officially joined AR squadron.
 
RO officially entered the scene after the siege on AR squadron's position, the Mario Princess supervision facility in Sector S05. Persica introduced RO to the Commander while the facility siege intensified, RO states that she was developed especially for this task and requested the Commander to capture a comms relay station used by the Ferri in Sector S05 to speed up her deployment into the battlefield.
 
[[File:CG7-6.png|left|thumb|Soppu asleep on RO's lap]]
 
With the comms relay destroyed, Dreamer launched an attack on the supervision facility directly, claiming to kill every single T-doll present there, if the Commander divert forces to fight Dreamer, the facility itself will be left undefended. RO stated that she will infiltrate and rescue the T-dolls at the facility, while the Commander can focus on fighting Dreamer, the Commander agreed to this proposal.
 
While the G&K forces were defending outside the facility, Mastermind sneaked in the facility in attempt get close to {{doll name|M4A1|AR|4}}. Equipped with her advanced jamming module, all the other T-dolls within the facility were unable to move, Mastermind reached M4A1, attempted at deciphering her Digi-mind. Failed to decipher anything, Mastermind decided to take M4A1 with her back to the Ferri HQ. RO enters the scene, with her counter-countermeasures she manage to negate Mastermind's jamming, with all the other T-dolls up and operational, Dreamer being pinned down by G&K forces, Mastermind was forced to retreat from the facility.
 
M4A1 however was no longer combat capable, after the attempt Atlas decryption, she was left in a state of delusion, constantly mumbling to herself. Tidying up the battlefield, the Commander finally met RO face to face in the facility's garden, with {{doll name|M4 SOPMOD II|AR|4}} sleeping on her lap. RO formally introduced herself to the Commander, she is here at the request of Persica to assist the Commander, but she wishes to keep that a secret from the HQ. She also inform the Commander that Persica will do something about M4A1's current condition, in the meantime, she will take over the Command for AR squadron.

=== Hunt for Dreamer ===
An immediate follow up after chapter 7's story, where RO and AR squadron fought Dreamer in Sector S05.
 
RO had solid Intel on location of Dreamer within S05, she is under the order to annihilate Dreamer, AR squadron she led is performing this task. Palette squadron members are here to help with this task, the operation began with each member of the AR squad meeting a member of the Palette squad on the field, {{doll name|M16A1|AR|4}} were to meet AAT, SOP II were to meet Sten and RO were to meet 92. Upon meeting of the Palette squad members, Ferri forces commenced bombardment of Sector S05 with their Jupiter cannon infrastructures, SOP II and Sten's location suffered a direct hit.
 
After confirming Intel, M16 departed to SOP's location while AAT relocated to meet RO. Upon meeting with Sten, she reported that under Dreamer's provocations SOP has gone berserk and ran after Dreamer, M16 went after SOP with Makarov who just entered the scene. Sten's next task from RO was hacking a Ferri Jupiter cannon, to disrupt further bombardments from Dreamer. Dreamer was never present in Sector S05, all the present Dreamer units are her dummy-links, she enraged SOP, forced M16 to go after the furious SOP and attempted to destroy them both with a well placed Jupiter shot, fortunately through the hacking of the cannons, the shot did not cause ideal level of damage, the two survived.
 
The evacuation route was however block directly by Dreamer, with the help of Commander's forces, both AR squadron and Palette squadron extracted without further casualties. To celebrate the destruction of all of Dreamer's dummies in Sector S05, RO had a few drinks with M16 in the bar, they had a long chat about AR squadron's past, about M4A1, about AR-15 and about the next step of their vengeance.


=== Arctic Warfare ===
=== Arctic Warfare ===
The 2017 Winter event Arctic Warfare described a story of AR squadron being pinned on a snowy mountain region and their fight against the Ferri in the arctic environment.
Despite her lack of experience with emergency situations, RO took the lead of AR Team when their aircraft was shot down over Area S03 and they were stranded in a Jupiter testing field.<ref>[[Arctic Warfare]], The Wolves Gather I</ref> Using RO's wealth of experience against Jupiter in her previous missions, AR Team managed to reach a communication outpost and ask Griffin HQ for rescue, but [[Helian]] warned them that they would need to get out of the Jupiter testing field to be evacuated.<ref>[[Arctic Warfare]], The Wolves Gather II</ref> AR Team worked with the experimental T-Doll {{doll name|M1887|SG|5}} who had crashed with AR Team to leave the area,<ref>[[Arctic Warfare]], The Wolves Gather III</ref> and M1887 saved RO from coming into contact with a communication console infected with Parapluie by destroying it, as the stressed RO failed to check for a Parapluie signal beforehand.<ref name=AW14>[[Arctic Warfare]], The Wolves Gather IV</ref>


{{WIP}}
They were soon joined by [[Squad 404]], who were hired by Griffin HQ to help them escape area S03. M16A1 warned RO to not let {{doll name|UMP45|SMG|4}} steer her tactical decisions as her ruthlessness would lead to unnecessary loss, and soon enough 45 tried to get under RO's skin by asking her how she felt in her role as a replacement for M4A1, implying she was not at liberty to act as herself. RO replied that she didn't mind replacing M4A1 for the time being and while she lacked experience she was fully capable of handling the operation, so 45 did not press the issue further.<ref>[[Arctic Warfare]], Lightning Curfew IV</ref>


=== Sector S02 Expedition ===
With the last Sangvis base between them and the evac heliport, RO came up with a plan to send 404 to infiltrate the base and cut power to the Jupiters while AR Team and M1887's troops would lure out {{enemy name|Gager|boss}} and {{enemy name|Architect|boss}}. Once the Jupiters offline, AR Team would raid the base, hack the local control systems and open the gates to the heliport. However, Gager decided to focus her troops on M1887, placing them at greater risk than intended. Approaching the situation like M4A1 would, RO suddenly changed plans and guided AR Team to a nearby communications outpost to ask [[the Commander]] for a fast response team instead of Helian's full rescue party. The Commander sent {{doll name|Thompson|SMG|5}} and {{doll name|WA2000|RF|5}}'s teams to seize the base and capture Architect. While RO expected 45 to ask for an apology for putting 404 at greater risks than planned, 45 only asked RO if she had made her decision because M4A1 would have made the same. RO repeated that she didn't mind being a replacement for M4 at the time, and 45 mocked her as she wiped the Griffin dolls' memories of 404's involvement in the operation.<ref>[[Arctic Warfare]], Homecoming IV</ref>
Two months after the event of Arctic Warfare, AR Squadron is deployed into Sector S02 to retrieve "File 7" for Persica.


Under Persica's request, the AR squadron consist of RO, Soppu and M16 dropped into S02 and on approach the "Base No.0" in search for file 7. S02 is a heavily fortified region with full Parapluie coverage, RO is also tasked with deploying counter-countermeasures on top of being in leadership of an independent T-doll squadron, since she is equipped to fight Parapluie. As a specialist squadron with limited firepower, RO once again requested help from the Commander, primarily to run operations in the sector and divert attention away from the AR squadron.
=== Base 0 raid ===
[[File:BG Story 9-2E 2.png|thumb|{{doll name|M4 SOPMOD II|AR|4}} tells RO635 stories from the [[AR Team]].]]
On special orders from Persica, AR Team was sent to area S02 to recover File No. 7 from Sangvis Base 0, while the Commander launched a diversionary attack. While this important base was under full Parapluie jamming, RO's counter-jamming modules would let AR Team operate, establish transmissions with HQ and interact with computers inside normally.<ref>{{cite|gf|8-1}}</ref> While they didn't match her maps, RO elected to follow M16's directions inside the base, trusting her field experience, until they reached the central server where they would recover the file.<ref>{{cite|gf|8-2}}</ref> Being immobilized while breaking the security of the server, RO asked M16 to stand guard while SOP-II would dedicate her processing power to the download.<ref>{{cite|gf|8-3}}</ref>


Approaching the base, RO explained the plans and brief the squadron again. Their next target is to infiltrate the base, establish a temporary foothold within the base while locate and extract file 7, while RO is infiltrating the network, Soppu will serve as a look out to alert the team regarding the Ferri movements, M16 is more free with her actions and she can make advice on combat plans base on situation changes since she is the most experience T-doll of the group with the longest service time. Before RO was about to lead the team into the base, M16 proposed that they should hack in and listen to the Ferri's communication channel, RO warned that it risk detection and foil the infiltration. M16 insisted that they should listen in just in case that their plan has already been foiled and they are currently well dug-in to ambush them, RO agreed after hearing this.  
When RO woke up after securing the download process, M16 was not at her post. RO found she had strayed out of the server room. M16 argued that she had her own priority and that RO shouldn't expect AR Team to execute orders to the letter, like M4 did. RO told M16 that while she filled in for M4 as team leader, she should not to treat her like she would M4, and M16 apologized. As RO listened to SF transmissions, AR Team was located by Dreamer who started a round of bombardment. RO expressed her frustration at being noticed even while being careful and M16 told her to be more flexible and not always expect efforts to yield the best results, and that she shouldn't shy to rely on her teammates for moral support as a team leader.<ref>{{cite|gf|8-4}}</ref> M16 also assured RO that she was appreciated by the rest of AR Team and that she was going through the same steps M4 took, but that she should disregard any pretense of heroism and learn to grow on her own fast as events would catch up to her eventually.<ref>{{cite|gf|8-5}}</ref> As M16 was left behind during evacuation due to being trapped after demolishing the exit gate, RO realized that M16 gave her many pointers earlier because she knew they would not be able to meet again.<ref>{{cite|gf|8-6}}</ref>


Syncing with the communication channel, they only discovered music, "'Skylark', it's an old song." M16 suddenly remarks, RO questions the music, to which M16 stated that Ferri leaders are also equipped with emotion module, it is likely being played to relief their stress. Based on the additional data they gathered from the communication channel, they discovered the overseer of the territory is a particularly younger model, it is likely to be Destroyer, RO advised the Commander to adjust tactics and units against this enemy.
During RO's earlier infiltration of the Sangvis Ferri server, Persica had secretly probed the server through RO's neural cloud and located a file using a different encryption from the rest, which led her to organize M16's stay to carry out this more dangerous mission alone.<ref>{{cite|gf|8-2E}}</ref> M16 eventually sacrificed herself to gather new data for Persica, rewriting her own neural cloud with Parapluie and falling under the control of Sangvis Ferri.<ref>{{cite|gf|8-4E}}</ref> Unaware of the situation, the Commander convinced Helian to authorize RO and SOP-II to go back to area S02 and search for M16.<ref>{{cite|gf|9-1}}</ref> While they would not find M16, the search gave RO and SOP-II time to bond over their hopes for the future and their fear of seeing AR Team fall apart.<ref>{{cite|gf|9-2}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gf|9-3}}</ref><ref name=C91E /><ref name=C93E>{{cite|gf|9-3E}}</ref> As they stopped to rest, RO went to sleep and SOP-II used the occasion to follow the signal of M16's case, which was dropped nearby by the drone she had sent with the data. She searched without informing RO as she thought Griffin HQ wouldn't allow her to recover M16's legacy if it was too dangerous.<ref>{{cite|gf|9-4}}</ref>


15 minutes later AR squadron infiltrated the center region of base no.0, they have began setting up the counter-countermeasures and preparing the place as a temporary garrison to locate the physical data server, Soppu was ordered to stand guard, M16 provided the access key to file 7, "Use it well, we almost lost our lives for this.", M16 mentions the access key was obtained from safe room 3, the whole purpose of AR squadron seems to be recovering whatever Lyco left over, and now the final step has finally began. M16 advised to inform the Commander before expanding the counter-countermeasures as it will attract Sangvis Ferri's attention.
The search led them to face {{enemy name|Judge|boss}}, who saw through RO's infiltration signal.<ref>{{cite|gf|9-5}}</ref> RO's attempts at negotiating an information exchange for M16's situation crumbled when SOP-II called Judge a "midget", prompting the ringleader to try and obtain M4's location from them by force. Judge ceased her attack when Dreamer informed her that M4 was not with them as Elisa had asked not to destroy AR Team, and she casually revealed that M16 was in Dreamer's custody before leaving.<ref>{{cite|gf|9-6}}</ref> Provoked, SOP-II dashed after Judge with RO in tow, and both T-Dolls ended being lost in a dangerous jamming area, with no contact with Griffin HQ or the Commander.<ref name=C91E>{{cite|gf|9-1E}}</ref> While RO charged the transmitter in M16's case to emit a distress signal, she asked SOP-II to tell her stories of AR Team. When asked why T-Dolls possessed emotions modules that could hurt their operational efficiency, RO quoted Makarov and replied that there must be an important reason, as humans would not voluntarily make defective products.<ref name=C92E>{{cite|gf|9-2E}}</ref> Having received the emergency signal, the Commander sent Team {{doll name|Negev|MG|5}} to assist AR Team's rescue. A battle broke out against Judge's troops who had also followed the signal, but it was cut short when Elisa recalled all ringleaders to the site of impending battle against Griffin & Kryuger and [[KCCO]], leaving RO dejected that the mission ended in total failure.<ref name=C94E>{{cite|gf|9-4E}}</ref>


The excessive amount of advice from M16 and information not provided operation Intel have finally made RO question the true purpose of this operation, "The way you and Persica acts give me the hint that this is not a simple Ferri base.", to which M16 replied "Of course it isn't a simple base, this is close to Ferri's central command, anything could be in here. But if you ask me whether I know anything, I'm afraid this is my first time here as well.", when her behavior was questioned again by RO, M16 answered that is at least her Digi-mind tells her this is her first time. RO opened up the communication channel to Persica in preparation for the infiltration, she mentioned that she will focus on searching for file 7 and reject other low-priority files, since they are deep undercover. Persica agreed to this, she says that she merely wishes to observe AR squadron's performance under RO's command. With this being said RO booted up the counter-countermeasure and entered the Ferri network.

RO and SOP-II reunited with M4, who had only recently learned of the addition of a new member to AR Team, to be transported to the site of the joint assault.<ref>{{cite|gf|10-2}}</ref> While RO expressed her honor to finally meet M4, M4 shot her down by saying that they were nothing more than variations of the same model and RO realized that her cold, vengeful gaze was similar to the one M16 sometimes had,<ref name=C94E /> and M4 refused all attempts at holding a conversation. RO was left to worry if M4 hated her,<ref name=C103 /> as she was not the gentle Doll she was described but a tough and decisive commander.<ref name=C104>{{cite|gf|10-4}}</ref>


20 minutes later into the infiltration RO had managed to locate the physical data server, she have plotted a course towards it but there are many Ferri checkpoints along the way. She proposes that the Commander should go along that route to divert Ferri forces away from a more covert route the AR squadron will be traveling. The Commander is safe to deploy forces as the Parapluie counter-countermeasure field she deployed is relatively strong. End of the operation, AR squadron safely relocated to the data server, Soppu will do the physical access while RO will mask their signals, after file 7 is located she will begin streaming immediately. Persica congratulate the team on making smooth progress so far, to which RO comments that both her and Soppu will be immobilized while accessing the network, the only one operational in their squadron will be M16, so they cannot let their guards down yet, RO would also request Commander to keep distracting the enemy units.
The Commander sent AR Team to reactivate paralyzed KCCO units left in the wake of the assault group with RO's electronic warfare module.<ref name=C103>{{cite|gf|10-3}}</ref> During the mission, M4 apologized for her harshness and praised RO's abilities, asking her to be the guiding voice M16 and AR-15 were to her before.<ref name=C104 /> When AR Team was pulled into a trap and Elisa tried to enter M4's neural cloud again, M4 ordered RO and SOP-II to run away without her as she didn't want more members of AR Team to die for her sake, but both refused to comply and RO asked M4 to take into consideration their own wishes to protect her. SOP-II argued that RO's sacrifice wouldn't have the same meaning since she could backup her memories, and their bickering made M4 laugh for the first time in a long while. Elisa's attacks eventually caused M4's consciousness tp be locked deep into her neural cloud and RO locked herself with M4 in a safe house and used her electronic warfare modules to break Elisa's connection.<ref name=C106>{{cite|gf|10-6}}</ref>


Soppu found the file within the server, but due to the large size the streaming might take longer than expected, RO requested M16 to stand guard nearby to avoid being spotted by enemy patrols, M16 also demanded the two of them to never leave the data room, RO agreed. Being a newer generation of T-doll, RO finished her download quickly and removed the trace, however when disconnected from the network she found M16 to be missing from her post, Soppu too didn't notice the disappearance of M16 since she is focused on streaming the files and don't have enough RAM to divert attention. Having thought that M16 might have encountered problems, RO leaves the data room to look for M16, she looked outside the door and saw nothing. Suddenly she noticed movements behind her, M16 sighs: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the room no matter what happens?", RO replied with frustration: "I too told you to stay here and don't leave our side!"
As RO tried to guide M4's consciousness back to Level II, M4 argued that RO had no reason to save her as they barely knew each other and she was only obeying her programming. RO replied that the artificiality of her intents and purpose didn't matter as long as they could find happiness by being together in AR Team.<ref name=C101E>{{cite|gf|10-1E}}</ref>


M16 walked passed RO and entered the data room, RO expresses her annoyance with M16 disobeying her orders, M16 replied saying that she does have her priority orders, she will adjust according to situation changes and M4A1 as a leader would understand this. "No, maybe I'm not as good of a leader as M4A1 was.", hearing this M16 apologized: "Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. You have your strengths, I think I'm just not used to it yet.", Soppu greeted M16's return, M16 went to sit next to Soppu, "Did you two argue?", "No, it was a discussion. I'm a bit tired Soppu let me adjust myself.". M16 advised RO to listen in on Ferri's movement as she heard engine noise from the sky while she was outside, the enemies are potentially setting up an air raid. RO comments that Destroyer doesn't have the capacity to command air units, M16 suggests the area doesn't necessarily belong to just a singular leader.
{{StoryQuote|Why does it matter if my feelings are artificial of not?! At the very least… I’m doing my best for what I believe is good… AR-15 wanted me to save you. M16 wanted me to save you. So does SOP-II as well as the Commander! M4A1… I might not be acting out of my own free will, but I’m doing this because everyone is counting on me. Even if you don’t believe me, at least believe those who have always supported you.|<ref name=C101E />}}


Accessing the enemy HQ network, RO found it to be extremely quiet, M16 suggests that maybe the enemy have already moved out to engage them, RO disregarded the suggestion saying that M16 is overreacting. Suddenly sounds of explosions were heard from a distance, M16 told RO to quickly expand her listening radius to cover other Ferri command posts nearby. A conversation between Destroyer and Dreamer were heard, Agent already noticed infiltrators in the region and they are beginning to carpet bomb their own sectors. Despite how careful RO navigated, they were still detected, M16 comforted her and said she should adapt do unexpected situations, right now they should request reinforcements from the Commander and go with her to defend against the initial Ferri scouts. RO contacted the Commander, described the dire situation they are in, she requested the Commander to destroy the Ferri UAV controls so at least the bombardment will stop, they are still waiting on Soppu to finish her downloads.
RO's electronic warfare was interrupted by Captain [[Yegor]] when his troops broke through the Sangvis Ferri encirclement and eliminated the T-Dolls protecting the safe house. Yegor entered the safe house and shot the defenseless RO in the head with his sidearm to prevent her from "disrupting the show" by interrupting the connection between M4 and Elisa.<ref>{{cite|gf|10-3E}}</ref>  After the KCCO forces departed, SOP-II's mangled body was forcefully reactivated by a remote signal from {{enemy name|M16A1 (boss)|boss}}<ref>[[Continuum Turbulence]], Waste</ref> so she could continue her mission to protect M4. While SOP-II could do nothing but leave M4 in the safe house due to the instability of her neural cloud, she tried to drag RO's body with her in an attempt to salvage any kind of purpose for herself in the broken AR Team. Rejecting M16's notion that they could never go back to their old team, SOP-II wished to preserve RO's memories from her time with M4 and broke her body open to extract her neural core. Talking to RO's core to forget her solitude, SOP-II set off to search for an auxiliary power supply to keep RO's core's internal battery from running out.<ref>[[Continuum Turbulence]], Safe House</ref> When [[Task Force DEFY]] picked up M4A1, they abandoned RO's body after noticing her neural module had been taken out.<ref>[[Singularity]], Chapter 1 Splinter Point</ref>


[[File:CG8-1.png|left|thumb|The salute]]
===Stuck in the Dinergate===
[[File:RO635 (Dinergate).png|thumb|RO635's temporary (but embarrassing) [[Dinergate]] body.]]
After taking the lead of a group of G&K logistics Dolls, SOP-II negotiated a ceasefire with {{enemy name|Scarecrow|boss}} in exchange for an auxiliary power supply. Scarecrow accepted the offer as KCCO troops were already a dangerous enough threat,<ref>[[Continuum Turbulence]], Peace Negotiations</ref> and sent a [[Dinergate]] to carry the emergency battery to SOP-II, who took hold of the battery and kidnapped the small Sangvis unit.<ref name=CT110>[[Continuum Turbulence]], Darkest Desire</ref> After reaching the deserted G&K command post, SOP-II realized she had forgotten to awaken RO's core due to dedicating all her processing power to mount battle plans.<ref>[[Continuum Turbulence]], Sangvis Elite Outpost</ref> Excited to tell RO about her new experiences as a team leader and working with bare hands,<ref name=CT19 /> SOP-II stripped the Dinergate's internals to the barest systems to use as an external interface for RO, linked the Dinergate's CPU to her own system, then connected RO’s neural cloud to her own motherboard.<ref name=CT110 /> Because RO's neural core was bigger than standard and wouldn't fit into the Dinergate, SOP-II discarded parts of her own body to make room for RO's core. Since she couldn't connect RO's core to her motherboard on software level, she went into level II to gather RO's memory fragments until her neural cloud awakened. Due to SOP-II's meddling and numerous Sangvis Ferri parts attached to her body, and because RO had lost control privileges over her own neural cloud after she was marked as killed in action, RO had to fend off her own electronic defenses before interfacing herself with SOP-II's internal components.


Moments later the Ferri UAV continues to circle over their heads, having taken out another wave of attackers M16 checked with RO, RO reply that it doesn't look good, she is running low on munitions and the UAV have yet to leave the airspace, M16 used this little break in between attack waves to comforted RO, saying that they will be ok, commenting on how RO is fitting in well with the AR squadron as a character, talked about how RO is a little bit like M4A1 when she first started out as a leader. RO replied that she look forward to meeting M4A1. At this point Soppu finished her download, they are ready to retreat.
When {{doll name|Cx4 Storm|SMG|4}} pulled SOP-II from level II to warn her of approaching KCCO forces,<ref name=CT19>[[Continuum Turbulence]], Neural Fragment</ref> RO had successfully been integrated to SOP-II. While RO and SOP-II would have to balance their neural cloud usage because they used the same processing core, RO could speak independently through her megaphone SOP-II had picked up and attached to the Dinergate, which had also been painted with her yellow and blue color scheme. RO was horrified by the situation and felt like being trapped in a Dinergate was a fate worse than death. She sent a transmission to the Commander to signal their location but left SOP-II to determine how to deal with the Dolls' morale due to her lack of processing power and sheer depression. After SOP-II's successful rousing speech, RO snarkily pointed out its fatalism, but SOP-II could tell RO had nevertheless been touched by it since they were sharing thoughts processes. Despite RO's pessimism, the Dolls were saved from destruction by the Military tanks when the Commander's troops arrived with [[Heavy Ordnance Corps]] support.<ref name=CT110 /> Despite RO's protests, SOP-II showed the Commander RO's temporary body when she would have preferred to be declared killed in action instead.<ref>[[Continuum Turbulence]], Final Destination</ref>


While the Commander's forces are driving away Destroyer and Dreamer, RO began plotting a retreat route, however Dreamer began randomly closing gates in the base in attempt to block their route, one gate was shut and their closest escape route is now blocked. RO is losing her composure: "Damn it, if we go around now we will waste a lot of time...", M16 proposed that if the gate mechanisms are damaged from the sides the route is open again, she will go and sabotage the mechanism. RO proclaims it is dangerous to split up right now, but she agreed to let M16 go after M16 said there are no other options right now and she is most suited for the task.
RO had no choice but to follow SOP-II in the subsequent battles to protect Griffin's temporary command post during their retreat,<ref>[[Continuum Turbulence]], For the Future</ref> then [[Angelia]]'s rescue operation, where Angelia recognized RO based on her voice and the Dinergate's color scheme.<ref>[[Continuum Turbulence]], New Hope</ref> Despite her limited form, RO still proved useful by commandeering SOP-II's processing power in short bursts to scan the terrain and find openings in KCCO's movements.<ref>[[Continuum Turbulence]], Vile Rats</ref> SOP-II insisted RO stayed awake to witness their first pitched battle against KCCO when they defended the building where Angelia and the Dolls would make their last stand.<ref>[[Continuum Turbulence]], Stumbling Block</ref> After escaping from KCCO and reaching [[the Commander]]'s safe house, RO helped in taking on the [[Nyto White]] forces by using her megaphone to lure [[ELID]] infected and overwhelm them.<ref>[[Continuum Turbulence]], White Doll</ref>


RO hesitated again after the Commander have driven away the powerful enemy forces, RO claims they aught to rethink this, there must be another way out. M16 replied "I will perform my duty while you perform yours, alright?", Persica also contacted via radio at this point stating the priority is to extract file 7, it is both her order and Kryuger's orders, RO finally gave the orders after a brief goodbye with Soppu who just returned from her patrol, M16 departed to sabotage the gate mechanism. Half an hour later with the gate mechanism destroyed, RO and Soppu escapes the base, the EVAC transport is within visual distance, however M16 is yet to come out of the facility. Getting on the EVAC transport, RO contacted M16 with the radio, M16 apologized: "Sorry, there seem to be an accident, that explosion cut off my escape route...", "Leave without me, your transports cannot reach me from here."
Much to RO's chagrin, SOP-II went to explore the new Griffin base before they had a chance to see Persica to fix their bodies. When they crossed paths with Makarov who asked SOP-II if RO had survived the battle, SOP-II was delicate enough to not point out RO was in the Dinergate, only saying she had recovered her neural cloud. When Persica received SOP-II and RO in her lab, she was shocked to see that RO was actually stuck in a Dinergate, as she had found it too unbelievable when [[Kalina]] reported as such, and she made a note to investigate such emergency neural cloud preservation methods in the future.  


"Thank you for those words you've said to me." RO's last words to M16, who can now be seen from the facility, M16 replied with a salute. The shapes of her gradually became smaller with the transport moving further away, turned into a silhouette, into a burning building, into a spark. "Will we meet again?" RO now thinks to herself while the transport is returning to base, "I just feel like she made up a lie since the very beginning. She never intended to return, she was ready to give it her all just to save that one person..."
While Persica preferred not to move RO's neural cloud from a stable situation without a new body ready for her, RO insisted to leave the Dinergate as soon as possible. Persica then transferred her to her dedicated database, which however already contained the neural clouds of {{enemy name|Ouroboros|boss}} and Architect. The next time SOP-II connected to the database to show RO her upgraded body, RO had imprisoned the ringleaders in secluded sectors of the database and used the ample extra memory space to simulate a dorm while awaiting for her new body to be ready. RO responded with annoyance when SOP-II announced she would be keeping the Dinergate as an accessory and memento, but was worried that SOP-II would be feeling lonely without her in the interim.<ref name=SOPMOD>{{doll name|M4 SOPMOD II|AR|5|costume=costume1}} Neural Upgrade story</ref>


=== Further deployments into Sector S02 ===
===Belgrade events===
RO and Soppu was deployed again into S02 a week later in search for the missing in action M16. The Commander was however called away to attend an important meeting with SOCOM, but he/she will still provide remote assistance.


M16 is now classified as MIA, but as an unique T-doll and irreplaceable comrade, G&K asserted forces to assist RO and Soppu in the operation, thus the two are redeployed back into S02 again to lead the search operation for M16. RO described Soppu's Digi-mind status as unstable, her average response time to RO's commands have reduced to 1.3 seconds, occasionally enters the state of focus loss. It is also effecting her operation effectiveness, evident from the fact that she just open-fired upon a Ferri checkpoint which RO ordered the two to sneak around. Being chased by over a hundred Ferri units in a heavily fortified Ferri region, RO had no choice but to call for the Commander's assistance.
===Tallinn and Paldiski===


Breaking siege with the assist of Commander's forces, the two proceed to the final area of the search operation. 20 hours of continuous operation stress has taken effect on both of their physiques, effects are more significant on RO since she is the leader of the operation. The two are now in a safe house preparing for recharge and clearing RAM data. After some discussions, RO agreed to let Soppu to go on guard while she take a short nap to recharge her energy, an hour later when RO woke up, Soppu is nowhere to be found. Angry with Soppu disobeying her orders while worried about her safety, RO quickly rushed outside to search for Soppu. Soon she located Soppu in an abandoned factory facility, initially angry at her for operating alone, Soppu presented an item of interest she found: M16's backpack.
===Return to Area S09===


Apparently Soppu's slow responses is because she is running a short range tracing program in search of this backpack, when asked by RO what the content of the backpack is, Soppu replied: "M16 said 'This is nothing good'.". Glad that Soppu is safe and ashamed of misunderstanding her behaviour, RO is even more astonished by Soppu's unusual high attention paid to details after she presented her theory of M16's encounters based on the bullet marks on the backpack. Just as they are about to leave, they picked up a high level Ferri unit signal, another Ferri leader is now present in this region.

RO635 Story Quotes Live2D

Personality[edit]

RO635 is a rational and professional T-Doll with a strong sense of justice. She says she acts not only on orders, but also on responsibilities.[1] Other Dolls noticed she has a unique "will" to get revenge against Sangvis Ferri for the destruction they caused.[2] She also places great value in the given word. She tends to get flustered in situations unrelated to work or when things go wrong.[3] Her optimism sometimes gets the better of her and leads her to make tactical mistakes.[4][5]

In Team Palette, RO635 considers her teammates to be unruly and a bad bunch,[6] but she still cares for them and enjoys working with them even after leaving her position as team leader.[1] She retroactively envy the comparably less dangerous missions they run compared to AR Team.[3] She appears to put special trust in HG MakarovMakarovMakarov, quoting her on the subject of T-Dolls philosophy[7] and showing her a more vulnerable side, though she didn't make Makarov her adjutant because of her tendency to keep records of embarrassing moments as teasing material.[2] Team Palette similarly cares a great deal about RO even after she left the team[8] Makarov in particular saw the changes RO went through after joining AR Team, and worried about keeping up with her.[9]

As shown in her voice lines, RO635 is the most responsible member of AR Team, keeping an eye on other members and trying her best to keep them on their best behavior. RO has been designed to have a profound respect for AR M4A1M4A1M4A1 by understanding her unique position and responsibilities, while the other members originally only received orders to protect her.[10] As she remarked multiple times, she was specifically created with advanced electronic warfare capabilities to save M4A1 from attacks on her Neural Cloud.[11][12][13] She also has a particular relationship to AR ST AR-15ST AR-15ST AR-15, who assisted in her training.[14][10] She considered avenging AR-15's death her main goal during her early days in Griffin.[1] RO also has great respect for M16A1's experience while M16A1 consider RO more suitable in a command role than M4A1,[15][16] but M16A1's independent mind sometimes clashed with RO's strictness. SOP-II immediately grew fond of RO as she fell asleep on her lap on her first encounter,[17] and they have since established a strong bond through the hardships they encountered as the only members of AR Team before M4 and AR-15's return. RO still doesn't approve of SOP-II's violent fighting style.[18] Unlike the rest of AR Team, RO can back up her neural cloud and is not "mortal", but because she is not officially working for Griffin & Kryuger her memories are kept by the Commander and transferring them to a new body is a more tedious process she prefers to avoid.[19]

RO's hobbies include listening to music[6] and collecting CGI and law enforcement films made before WW3, such as films of anti-crime and detective genre (but she dislikes mafia films). She might also like singing, while being really bad at it. RO also has a louder than average speaking voice.[Source needed] Her dorm chibi speaks to other T-doll through her megaphone.

Creation and training[edit]

Persica created RO635 by adjusting the plans used for other members of AR Team to reduce the amount of Lunasia's personality, giving her more liberty in the development of her Neural Cloud. As the simulated processing AI she used to create RO was very stable, her data specification made her a potential blueprint for third-generation Dolls. Persica took inspiration from Lycoris' work to create a T-Doll with flexible and trainable emotion systems.

While she was the Doll with the highest specs ever created by Persica, RO consistently failed her initial run of simulated missions supervised by AR ST AR-15ST AR-15ST AR-15. This was because RO chose to sacrifice AR M4A1M4A1M4A1 every time, which was considered a fatal decision despite RO not being ordered to protect her. This way, Persica encouraged RO to understand the importance of M4A1 on an emotional level rather than a strategic one. Persica wanted RO to “learn to like M4A1, learn to like the world and learn to like [herself]”, as liking all three would become the reasons behind all her actions. To this effect, RO was involved early in live operations with other Dolls and humans to develop her emotional intelligence and practical knowledge.[10] RO took part in many law enforcement missions, going on long stakeouts to catch criminals[20] and witnessing many cases of anti-Dolls violence.[21]

Team Palette[edit]

Upon finally joining Griffin & Kryuger, RO635 was assigned to the Team Palette task force with HG Type 92Type 92Type 92 as her adjutant, MG AAT-52AAT-52AAT-52, SMG Sten MkIISten MkIISten MkII and HG MakarovMakarovMakarov to practice using her command module by giving orders remotely like a human commander would.[22] Their mission was to retrieve Document 36, a database of criminal records lost during the recent evacuation of a settlement in area S09.[23] Intending to carry the mission before Sangvis Ferri troops would lock the area down, RO decided to deploy the team as soon as AAT found a lead during her recon, without waiting for Makarov to come back from Griffin HQ with further directive. AAT had found that the document was in possession of a human who had not evacuated, but Type92 had to remind RO that unlike her previous jobs, this would complicate the mission as G&K T-Dolls did not have permission to be aggressive against humans without special authorizations.[24]

Confident that they would not need to resort to violence, RO sent Palette to the nearby shelter to find the person of interest, but he wasn't there. Type 92 scolded RO for underestimating the chaos of the battlefield and not having prepared plans to cover multiple eventualities. When Sten reported the human had locked himself in a building to try and destroy the document, RO put Type 92's critics in practice by ordering her to neutralize the human if necessary while prioritizing her own safety.[25] However, a Jupiter Cannon shot landed on the building and Sten only managed to extract the wounded human. RO ordered her to go back inside to seize the document while Type 92 and AAT would handle the wounded. However, Sten found herself conflicted between RO's orders and the order to destroy the document the man gave her before passing out, as humans theoretically held greater authority than Dolls. RO recognized the man as a criminal who was trying to destroy the criminal records and revealed her authorizations as a member of AR Team were as high as a human. She ordered Sten to comply with her orders as Dolls should not consider themselves slaves to the humans. But enough time had passed for the next Jupiter round to strike, and RO panicked when Palette's signal was lost, asking the absent AR-15 for help.[23]

Makarov came back from HQ at the same moment and teased RO for calling AR-15's name. RO assigned Makarov to the command room and went into the battlefield herself to reestablish communications with Palette. Makarov revealed that Griffin HQ had recovered data left behind by AR-15, and that RO would have to be careful not to die if she wanted to access it later. As RO and Makarov were realizing that the shots were not random but a way for the enemy to toy with them, a shell landed near RO and knocked her out. RO's sudden arrival also steered the Sangvis Ferri troops away from Palette, giving Makarov enough time to deploy reinforcements. As Palette dug RO out of the debris, RO had a last vision or AR-15, who warned her of the hardships to come and that they might never be able to meet. As the team evacuated the area of operation with the objective, the members realized that Palette would soon be disbanded as they were a temporary team, but promised they would cherish the experience they gained and meet again.[2] Team Palette would however remain active as a unit despite the original plan.

Against Dreamer[edit]

SOP-II asleep on RO's lap.

When Dreamer attacked the quarantine facility in area S05 where AR Team was being held for Parapluie screening after the battle at area S08, Persica sent RO to help the Commander break Sangvis Ferri's siege. RO quickly discovered Dreamer's location in a communication outpost northeast of the facility and asked the Commander to seize it to disrupt SF's troops deployment.[12] She then infiltrated the facility, and using her own anti-Parapluie capabilities and command module, she lifted the jamming caused by Elisa and directed the Dolls in the base to counter-attack after they were sent in disarray when AR M4A1M4A1M4A1 was rendered comatose by Elisa's hacking.

After Sangvis Ferri's retreat, RO first met the Commander in person and made her report with AR M4 SOPMOD IIM4 SOPMOD IIM4 SOPMOD II asleep on her lap. She informed the Commander that Persica had deployed her without informing Griffin HQ and that they should be discreet as to her involvement. She also had informed Persica of M4A1's state, and had been designated as the new leader of AR Team.[17] Her first mission in this role was to track down and eliminate Dreamer in area S05. RO enlisted the help of Team Palette for the mission, but as she and M16A1 linked up with Palette, SOP-II's location was hit by a Jupiter Cannon shot.[22] RO dispatched M16A1 and Makarov to check on SOP-II's situation while she and the rest of Palette would neutralize the nearby cannons[26] using the Sangvis Ferri authorizations found by AR Team during their previous raid on Safe House 3. Having eventually destroyed the local Dreamer dummy, RO parted with Team Palette again, made her mission report to the Commander and Persica and shared a drink with M16A1. At this occasion, she renewed her promise to avenge AR ST AR-15ST AR-15ST AR-15's death.[1]

Arctic Warfare[edit]

Despite her lack of experience with emergency situations, RO took the lead of AR Team when their aircraft was shot down over Area S03 and they were stranded in a Jupiter testing field.[27] Using RO's wealth of experience against Jupiter in her previous missions, AR Team managed to reach a communication outpost and ask Griffin HQ for rescue, but Helian warned them that they would need to get out of the Jupiter testing field to be evacuated.[28] AR Team worked with the experimental T-Doll SG M1887M1887M1887 who had crashed with AR Team to leave the area,[29] and M1887 saved RO from coming into contact with a communication console infected with Parapluie by destroying it, as the stressed RO failed to check for a Parapluie signal beforehand.[4]

They were soon joined by Squad 404, who were hired by Griffin HQ to help them escape area S03. M16A1 warned RO to not let SMG UMP45UMP45UMP45 steer her tactical decisions as her ruthlessness would lead to unnecessary loss, and soon enough 45 tried to get under RO's skin by asking her how she felt in her role as a replacement for M4A1, implying she was not at liberty to act as herself. RO replied that she didn't mind replacing M4A1 for the time being and while she lacked experience she was fully capable of handling the operation, so 45 did not press the issue further.[30]

With the last Sangvis base between them and the evac heliport, RO came up with a plan to send 404 to infiltrate the base and cut power to the Jupiters while AR Team and M1887's troops would lure out Gager and Architect. Once the Jupiters offline, AR Team would raid the base, hack the local control systems and open the gates to the heliport. However, Gager decided to focus her troops on M1887, placing them at greater risk than intended. Approaching the situation like M4A1 would, RO suddenly changed plans and guided AR Team to a nearby communications outpost to ask the Commander for a fast response team instead of Helian's full rescue party. The Commander sent SMG ThompsonThompsonThompson and RF WA2000WA2000WA2000's teams to seize the base and capture Architect. While RO expected 45 to ask for an apology for putting 404 at greater risks than planned, 45 only asked RO if she had made her decision because M4A1 would have made the same. RO repeated that she didn't mind being a replacement for M4 at the time, and 45 mocked her as she wiped the Griffin dolls' memories of 404's involvement in the operation.[31]

Base 0 raid[edit]

AR M4 SOPMOD IIM4 SOPMOD IIM4 SOPMOD II tells RO635 stories from the AR Team.

On special orders from Persica, AR Team was sent to area S02 to recover File No. 7 from Sangvis Base 0, while the Commander launched a diversionary attack. While this important base was under full Parapluie jamming, RO's counter-jamming modules would let AR Team operate, establish transmissions with HQ and interact with computers inside normally.[32] While they didn't match her maps, RO elected to follow M16's directions inside the base, trusting her field experience, until they reached the central server where they would recover the file.[33] Being immobilized while breaking the security of the server, RO asked M16 to stand guard while SOP-II would dedicate her processing power to the download.[34]

When RO woke up after securing the download process, M16 was not at her post. RO found she had strayed out of the server room. M16 argued that she had her own priority and that RO shouldn't expect AR Team to execute orders to the letter, like M4 did. RO told M16 that while she filled in for M4 as team leader, she should not to treat her like she would M4, and M16 apologized. As RO listened to SF transmissions, AR Team was located by Dreamer who started a round of bombardment. RO expressed her frustration at being noticed even while being careful and M16 told her to be more flexible and not always expect efforts to yield the best results, and that she shouldn't shy to rely on her teammates for moral support as a team leader.[35] M16 also assured RO that she was appreciated by the rest of AR Team and that she was going through the same steps M4 took, but that she should disregard any pretense of heroism and learn to grow on her own fast as events would catch up to her eventually.[36] As M16 was left behind during evacuation due to being trapped after demolishing the exit gate, RO realized that M16 gave her many pointers earlier because she knew they would not be able to meet again.[37]

During RO's earlier infiltration of the Sangvis Ferri server, Persica had secretly probed the server through RO's neural cloud and located a file using a different encryption from the rest, which led her to organize M16's stay to carry out this more dangerous mission alone.[38] M16 eventually sacrificed herself to gather new data for Persica, rewriting her own neural cloud with Parapluie and falling under the control of Sangvis Ferri.[39] Unaware of the situation, the Commander convinced Helian to authorize RO and SOP-II to go back to area S02 and search for M16.[40] While they would not find M16, the search gave RO and SOP-II time to bond over their hopes for the future and their fear of seeing AR Team fall apart.[41][42][3][18] As they stopped to rest, RO went to sleep and SOP-II used the occasion to follow the signal of M16's case, which was dropped nearby by the drone she had sent with the data. She searched without informing RO as she thought Griffin HQ wouldn't allow her to recover M16's legacy if it was too dangerous.[43]

The search led them to face Judge, who saw through RO's infiltration signal.[44] RO's attempts at negotiating an information exchange for M16's situation crumbled when SOP-II called Judge a "midget", prompting the ringleader to try and obtain M4's location from them by force. Judge ceased her attack when Dreamer informed her that M4 was not with them as Elisa had asked not to destroy AR Team, and she casually revealed that M16 was in Dreamer's custody before leaving.[45] Provoked, SOP-II dashed after Judge with RO in tow, and both T-Dolls ended being lost in a dangerous jamming area, with no contact with Griffin HQ or the Commander.[3] While RO charged the transmitter in M16's case to emit a distress signal, she asked SOP-II to tell her stories of AR Team. When asked why T-Dolls possessed emotions modules that could hurt their operational efficiency, RO quoted Makarov and replied that there must be an important reason, as humans would not voluntarily make defective products.[7] Having received the emergency signal, the Commander sent Team MG NegevNegevNegev to assist AR Team's rescue. A battle broke out against Judge's troops who had also followed the signal, but it was cut short when Elisa recalled all ringleaders to the site of impending battle against Griffin & Kryuger and KCCO, leaving RO dejected that the mission ended in total failure.[46]

Great Retreat[edit]

"Don't disrupt the show, Doll."
AR M4A1M4A1M4A1 awakens next to RO635's dead body.

RO and SOP-II reunited with M4, who had only recently learned of the addition of a new member to AR Team, to be transported to the site of the joint assault.[47] While RO expressed her honor to finally meet M4, M4 shot her down by saying that they were nothing more than variations of the same model and RO realized that her cold, vengeful gaze was similar to the one M16 sometimes had,[46] and M4 refused all attempts at holding a conversation. RO was left to worry if M4 hated her,[48] as she was not the gentle Doll she was described but a tough and decisive commander.[14]

The Commander sent AR Team to reactivate paralyzed KCCO units left in the wake of the assault group with RO's electronic warfare module.[48] During the mission, M4 apologized for her harshness and praised RO's abilities, asking her to be the guiding voice M16 and AR-15 were to her before.[14] When AR Team was pulled into a trap and Elisa tried to enter M4's neural cloud again, M4 ordered RO and SOP-II to run away without her as she didn't want more members of AR Team to die for her sake, but both refused to comply and RO asked M4 to take into consideration their own wishes to protect her. SOP-II argued that RO's sacrifice wouldn't have the same meaning since she could backup her memories, and their bickering made M4 laugh for the first time in a long while. Elisa's attacks eventually caused M4's consciousness tp be locked deep into her neural cloud and RO locked herself with M4 in a safe house and used her electronic warfare modules to break Elisa's connection.[19]

As RO tried to guide M4's consciousness back to Level II, M4 argued that RO had no reason to save her as they barely knew each other and she was only obeying her programming. RO replied that the artificiality of her intents and purpose didn't matter as long as they could find happiness by being together in AR Team.[11]

“ Why does it matter if my feelings are artificial of not?! At the very least… I’m doing my best for what I believe is good… AR-15 wanted me to save you. M16 wanted me to save you. So does SOP-II as well as the Commander! M4A1… I might not be acting out of my own free will, but I’m doing this because everyone is counting on me. Even if you don’t believe me, at least believe those who have always supported you.
— [11]
 ”

RO's electronic warfare was interrupted by Captain Yegor when his troops broke through the Sangvis Ferri encirclement and eliminated the T-Dolls protecting the safe house. Yegor entered the safe house and shot the defenseless RO in the head with his sidearm to prevent her from "disrupting the show" by interrupting the connection between M4 and Elisa.[49] After the KCCO forces departed, SOP-II's mangled body was forcefully reactivated by a remote signal from M16A1 (boss)[50] so she could continue her mission to protect M4. While SOP-II could do nothing but leave M4 in the safe house due to the instability of her neural cloud, she tried to drag RO's body with her in an attempt to salvage any kind of purpose for herself in the broken AR Team. Rejecting M16's notion that they could never go back to their old team, SOP-II wished to preserve RO's memories from her time with M4 and broke her body open to extract her neural core. Talking to RO's core to forget her solitude, SOP-II set off to search for an auxiliary power supply to keep RO's core's internal battery from running out.[51] When Task Force DEFY picked up M4A1, they abandoned RO's body after noticing her neural module had been taken out.[52]

Stuck in the Dinergate[edit]

RO635's temporary (but embarrassing) Dinergate body.

After taking the lead of a group of G&K logistics Dolls, SOP-II negotiated a ceasefire with Scarecrow in exchange for an auxiliary power supply. Scarecrow accepted the offer as KCCO troops were already a dangerous enough threat,[53] and sent a Dinergate to carry the emergency battery to SOP-II, who took hold of the battery and kidnapped the small Sangvis unit.[54] After reaching the deserted G&K command post, SOP-II realized she had forgotten to awaken RO's core due to dedicating all her processing power to mount battle plans.[55] Excited to tell RO about her new experiences as a team leader and working with bare hands,[10] SOP-II stripped the Dinergate's internals to the barest systems to use as an external interface for RO, linked the Dinergate's CPU to her own system, then connected RO’s neural cloud to her own motherboard.[54] Because RO's neural core was bigger than standard and wouldn't fit into the Dinergate, SOP-II discarded parts of her own body to make room for RO's core. Since she couldn't connect RO's core to her motherboard on software level, she went into level II to gather RO's memory fragments until her neural cloud awakened. Due to SOP-II's meddling and numerous Sangvis Ferri parts attached to her body, and because RO had lost control privileges over her own neural cloud after she was marked as killed in action, RO had to fend off her own electronic defenses before interfacing herself with SOP-II's internal components.

When SMG Cx4 StormCx4 StormCx4 Storm pulled SOP-II from level II to warn her of approaching KCCO forces,[10] RO had successfully been integrated to SOP-II. While RO and SOP-II would have to balance their neural cloud usage because they used the same processing core, RO could speak independently through her megaphone SOP-II had picked up and attached to the Dinergate, which had also been painted with her yellow and blue color scheme. RO was horrified by the situation and felt like being trapped in a Dinergate was a fate worse than death. She sent a transmission to the Commander to signal their location but left SOP-II to determine how to deal with the Dolls' morale due to her lack of processing power and sheer depression. After SOP-II's successful rousing speech, RO snarkily pointed out its fatalism, but SOP-II could tell RO had nevertheless been touched by it since they were sharing thoughts processes. Despite RO's pessimism, the Dolls were saved from destruction by the Military tanks when the Commander's troops arrived with Heavy Ordnance Corps support.[54] Despite RO's protests, SOP-II showed the Commander RO's temporary body when she would have preferred to be declared killed in action instead.[56]

RO had no choice but to follow SOP-II in the subsequent battles to protect Griffin's temporary command post during their retreat,[57] then Angelia's rescue operation, where Angelia recognized RO based on her voice and the Dinergate's color scheme.[58] Despite her limited form, RO still proved useful by commandeering SOP-II's processing power in short bursts to scan the terrain and find openings in KCCO's movements.[59] SOP-II insisted RO stayed awake to witness their first pitched battle against KCCO when they defended the building where Angelia and the Dolls would make their last stand.[60] After escaping from KCCO and reaching the Commander's safe house, RO helped in taking on the Nyto White forces by using her megaphone to lure ELID infected and overwhelm them.[61]

Much to RO's chagrin, SOP-II went to explore the new Griffin base before they had a chance to see Persica to fix their bodies. When they crossed paths with Makarov who asked SOP-II if RO had survived the battle, SOP-II was delicate enough to not point out RO was in the Dinergate, only saying she had recovered her neural cloud. When Persica received SOP-II and RO in her lab, she was shocked to see that RO was actually stuck in a Dinergate, as she had found it too unbelievable when Kalina reported as such, and she made a note to investigate such emergency neural cloud preservation methods in the future.

While Persica preferred not to move RO's neural cloud from a stable situation without a new body ready for her, RO insisted to leave the Dinergate as soon as possible. Persica then transferred her to her dedicated database, which however already contained the neural clouds of Ouroboros and Architect. The next time SOP-II connected to the database to show RO her upgraded body, RO had imprisoned the ringleaders in secluded sectors of the database and used the ample extra memory space to simulate a dorm while awaiting for her new body to be ready. RO responded with annoyance when SOP-II announced she would be keeping the Dinergate as an accessory and memento, but was worried that SOP-II would be feeling lonely without her in the interim.[8]
