Persica: Alright, they’re your new teammates.
What do you think? They all look like cute girls, don’t they?
M4A1:Indeed...
I’m honored to be able to work with such beautiful humans...
Persica: No, no, they’re all dolls, like you.
Hm… I guess I need to install some weapons software in your Imprint, hm?
M4A1:What? Weapons…?
Persica: Well, since it’s to test your AI… let’s install something commonplace.
[Beep.]
Persica: Alright, that’s it. The M4A1 assault rifle.
This ought to be a very common weapon… or at least, it was in the past. You can use it as you desire now that you’ve had the appropriate software installed.
M4A1:M4…A1?
Persica: Yup yup, from today onwards, the M4A1 will be your favored weapon.
Incidentally, it’s a weird practice of Kryuger’s, but dolls have to be named after their weapons...
Therefore, your name is now M4A1.
M4A1:I’m… M4A1…?
Persica: Hm… what should I let the others use...
If they all use M4A1s, I won’t be able to tell you apart...
I guess I’ll… match sister models to them, then. After all, right now you’re all half-sisters.
M4A1:Sisters…?
Persica: Hm… it seems understanding that concept… is a little difficult for you at the moment.
Still, that’s fine. Alright, M4, come and see.
They’re M16A1, M4 SOPMOD 2, and AR15.
Now you’ve all been paired with your weapons, so you need to get along with each other, okay?
M4A1:Why… do we need to get along?
Persica: Ah… I told you before, right? You’re sisters.
And family ought to get along.
M4A1:Family…?
Persica: Oh yes, family. Do you feel warm when you hear that word?
M4A1:Family… my family...
No, I have no family...
Persica: Eh?
Look, M4A1. Their weapons… don’t they look a lot like yours?
M4A1:Weapons…?
Not… weapons… not...
Persica: Er… why not? They’re all from the same series, I’m pretty sure I got that right.
M4A1:But their weapons...
Their weapons...
...Why are they covered in blood?
Persica: …?!
M4A1:Blood… why… are their bodies… covered in blood?
Persica-san… why… why...
[M4A1 begins repeating those words.]
Persica: Dammit...
Is her digimind breaking again because she saw those weapons?
I’m sorry, M4, you’ll have to sleep a while longer...
[Beep.]
Persica: What other sealed memories of yours are there... which haven’t been opened up yet…
Hurry, M16...
