If you think you have a tolerating temper, this T-doll will push that attribute of yours to the extreme. XM8 does not consider the things she say before yabbing it out, she just speaks out her free running mind on the spot. Very good at playing chess, even the other T-doll's computational calculations are no match for her. But she enjoys playing against the Commander, because the Commander is an easy opponent, please treat this as a symbol of her friendship.

Neural Upgrade Story

Part 1

Kalina had finished sorting unclaimed packages in the warehouse belonging to various T-Dolls, when she suddenly received another gigantic shipping container of mail. She furiously sent out a transmission ordering all T-Dolls to report to the warehouse to collect mail immediately, threatening to throw them out. She noted that over 100 of the packages had the name Belenko on them. An endless stream of T-Dolls came to pick up their mail, but none of them claimed the Belenko packages. Just as she was about to throw them out, XM8 arrived and informed Kalina that the name Belenko sounded familiar. When Kalina inquired why she hadn't claimed them earlier, XM8 noted that the packages only had a delivery address written on them with a vague recipient. She stated that the sender must be a pretentious loser who had detective stories in their head. Kalina argued that someone who was willing to mail all these packages to XM8 must be on really good terms with them, but XM8 dismissed that thought as she quickly loaded up the packages and left the warehouse.

Shortly after at XM8's dorm, TS12 frantically shouted for her and banged on the door. XM8 told her she was noisy and that the door was not locked, at which point TS12 immediately barged in. Kalina had accidentally given TS12's package to XM8, and TS12 saw it opened on the ground. XM8 told her to relax as she had quickly looked through the various flashlights in TS12's package while opening up her own packages. TS12 was upset, correcting XM8 that the "flashlights" were actually high-energy laser cutters that can slice armor plating like paper. XM8 stated that they were still basically overpowered flashlights. TS12 began ranting over her ignorance but then noticed XM8 was spacing out and starting at a chess piece instead of listening to her.

XM8 put down the chess piece and sighed, as TS12 stated that she was concerned about XM8 not acting like her usual self as she was clearly troubled about something. XM8 stared at TS12 for a short while before motioning toward to the chess piece and pointing out that it had two incredibly obvious letters on it. The chess set had belonged to a friend of XM8 from many years ago, with the letters being their initials. However XM8 had not seen or heard from the friend in a long time, so receiving packages from them was a surprise.

TS12 attempted to make light of the situation, stating that XM8 must be a T-Doll from a parallel universe and had lost her memories, with the packages being mementos from her friend trying to awaken her memories. After riling XM8 up with this, TS12 proclaimed that she would help XM8 find out about her friend. XM8 was annoyed, stating that she never said she was going to look into it, but TS12 pointed out XM8's expression betrayed that she would not be at peace until she got to the bottom of this. TS12 said she was a friend of XM8 too and that she would not sit back and do nothing while XM8 was in distress. XM8 paused for a while thinking it over before accepting TS12 offer, noting that they had to be fast as they did not have too many days off left.
