Field Exam
A group of Aldore Soldier escorting Mage D001 through the forest. Soldier A, B and Mage D001 stay behind to chat.

Aldore Soldier A
 * What a day. (Missing dialogue)

Aldore soldier B
 * There's an old cottage around here we need to investigate. (Missing dialogue)

Aldore Soldier A
 * Wait, so we're taking "you know wwo" just for that?

Aldore Soldier B
 * Orders from the higher-ups. They said we have to take her every now and then as part of her field testing.
 * But you know it's just an excuse to show off their new toy. We're basically helping them get in emperor's good books.

Aldore Soldier A
 * Hah. If we can even make use of her, you mean.

Aldore Soldier B
 * You know what? We oughta just act like we did all the work ourselves and say she just got in the way.

Aldore Soldier A
 * I like your thinking.
 * Wait... You think she's gonna go and tell them we said that?

Aldore Soldier B
 * Hey, you. You keep your mouth shut if you know what's good for you!

Mage D001

Aldore Soldier A
 * Ugh, creepy little brat. SHe's like a robot.

The three trio continue on.

- ''The soldier arrive in the cottage. An nameless Aldore Soldier, opens the door the enter.''

Aldore Soldier A
 * This old shack...? Not the first place I'd go looking for a weapon.

Aldore Soldier B
 * Yeah, but even if we come up short, we still get to smash it to bits.
 * We just have to say there were hostile forces inside or something. We have our fun. Mission complete.

Inner-Complex Aldore Soldier
 * W-what the...!? Aaagghh!!!

Aldore Soldier A
 * W-what just happened!?

Regina exists the cottage.

 Aldore Soldier move to surround her at gun points.

Aldore Soldier B
 * Hold it! Identify yourself!

Regina
 * I am Regina, an automaton.

Mage D001
 * (Automaton...?)
 * (This power... it feels like my own...)

Regina
 * Have you come here to destroy me?

Aldore Soldier B
 * I said hold it, you!

Aldore Soldier B shots, but Regina dodge the bullet in a flash.

Regina
 * Hostility detected. Self defense mode triggered.

Regina Enters Self Defense Mode.

Regina
 * Initiating counter-attack.

State of Battle
Aldore Soldier
 * An automaton!?
 * What's a sophisticated model like that doing here?

Fighting ALdore Soldier with Vesvia in the party.

Running Like Clockwork
Aldore Superior
 * I-I have to take this back with me!
 * As a combatant, it would be worth countless regular soldiers.
 * Listen up, troops! There'll be an handsome reward if you can get me that automation!

Aldore Soldier
 * Th-that sounds great, but.... there's no way we can stand up to that thing!

A Familiar Face
Mage D001
 * (A machine that obeys commands .... and is artificially powered by magic...)

(She's ... just ... like... me...)

Mechanical Musings
Regina
 * This isn't what I was made for.
 * It's not right for me to be made into a weapon.

Mage D001
 * Yes...
 * Then... what is your purpose?

A Young Lady's Order
Regina sens Aldore Soldier flying (off the screen!).

Aldore Soldier
 * Gah!

Aldore Soldier
 * Agh! Aaagghh!

(More epicness)

Regina return to the front of the cottage, with only Mage D001 remaining.

'Mage D001
 * ...Gah!

Regina got up
 * (Incredible...! What does she mean this isn't what she was made for? That can't be!)

Regian slowly walk toward Mage D001 with sparks in her arm.
 * (Wait... Oh, no, I'm done for...!)

''Mage D001 "..." "?" Regina continue to show signs of spark and powering down.''

Mage D001
 * What the...?

Regina
 * Need...

Mage D001 took a step back. Mage D001
 * Whoa!

Regina continue to show signs of power problem.

Regina
 * Need... your... ma...gic.

Regina kneels down and is having trouble.

Regina

Mage D001
 * Is she... out of power?

Mage D001 thinks to herself.
 * (Need magic? Is that what she runs on?)
 * (Even so, why would I want to do that? So she can keep attacking me?)

Mage D001 turns around and give Regina her magical power.

Regina
 * Power restored. Resuming operations.
 * Did you restore my power? Thank you.

Mage D001
 * Only enough to get you talking. I'm not going to hurt you, but I want you to answer some questions.

Regina
 * Very well.

Mage D001
 * The way you fought those soldiers... if you weren't made for fighting, then what were you made for?

Regina
 * My combat functionality was designed for self defense. That is what my maker told me.
 * The last purpose she gave me was to keep living.

Mage D001 "!"

Regina
 * I am, however, unsure of how to fulfill this purpose, as I am not a lifeform to begin with.

Mage D001
 * Keep living...?

Mage D001
 * (So... there really is no one else like me?)
 * (No one else made to do nothing but fight...)

"..."

Mage D001 continue to heal regina.

Regina
 * Why have you given me more energy? Is there more you wish to discuss?
 * My memory banks contains stories from all over the world. Would you like to hear one?

Mage D001
 * No, you have to get out of here!
 * It's only a matter of time before Aldore comes back for you... and then they'll turn you into a war machine for sure.
 * Now, go! Somewhere far away from here where no one will find you.

Regina "...."

Regina
 * Is this an order?

Mage D001
 * Yes! This is an order!

Regina
 * Very well...

Regina turns around to look at Mage D001 one more time, before continue to run off.

Mage D001
 * Maybe this is my chance to run too... Could I really get away from them?
