Pacassi

With massive nuclear energy stored in the body, the subject can shoot fatal dosages of radioactive substances at will. Powered by nuclear energy, the mechanical right arm can be used as an invincible weapon.

During a destructive nuclear reactor disaster two years ago, the subject was exposed to an excessive amount of radiation which awakened her special power.

The subject has only been infected not long ago and no apparent corruption symptoms have been detected. The occasional full-body aches and mucous membrane bleeding are believed to be the side effects of exposure to massive nuclear radiation.

A carrier of new energy from a distant foreign country. Storing an excessive amount of nuclear energy in the body, the subject frequently emits dangerous radiation and has a record of annihilating the entire town of Mayek. The subject feels no sense of belonging for the DisCity and so the risks of the subject leaking classified information and betraying or attacking the DisCity cannot be ruled out. The subject must be isolated and strictly controlled to minimize the destructive threat to society.

Investigation reveals that the disaster in Mayek was not caused by the subject but an inhabitant who insisted on relaunching the damaged nuclear power plant. The subject has also revealed during interrogation that her only wish is to pass on her memories of Mayek. It's therefore believed that she's highly unlikely to leak the confidential information. The subject has demonstrated outstanding control over her special power in actual combats. She's now virtually harmless in MBCC's detention.

During a search mission in reaction to an abnormal energy reading in the Mayek region, the subject was rescued from under the rubble and transferred to the MBCC for supervision.

Rescued and sheltered in the DisCity after a nuclear reactor disaster at thirteen and had previously lived in the town of Mayek. Records show that the subject's parents emigrated years ago, but their exact current location was unknown and the subject appeared to have been adopted by Mayek.

The subject has extensive knowledge of machinery operation and is an expert at repairing and creating various intricate machinery and electrical devices. It's believed that the subject has years of relevant working experience as an assistant.

Assisted the town mayor Longyear in the repairs of Mayek's power plant. The construction resulted in a total failure due to Longyear's forceful launch of the power plant. The hydrogen explosion caused by the failure was the main factor that led to the nuclear energy build-up in the town and its eventual destruction.

After years of confinement and experimentation by the Ring Research Institute, Pacassi is transferred to the custody of the MBCC. Warnings from the RRI indicate that emotional fluctuations can cause her ability to rapidly increase radiation output, leading the Chief to don protective gear for her interrogation. Pacassi is calm and cooperative as the Chief questions her about her ability and her life in Mayek, and claims to feel physically great ever since becoming a Sinner. When the conversation turns to Mayek's destruction, Pacassi is cagey about explaining how it came about, but says that the power plant explosion was not entirely an accident. Pacassi claims it was her fault, but the Chief suspects that she is covering for the town's mayor and her surrogate parent, Longyear. They tell her that Mayek is gone and there is no need for her to protect anything or anyone there, which upsets her; she cries that it's still her home, and she was unable to save it. To the Chief's surprise, and in contradiction to the Ring Research Institute's warnings, the Chief realizes that her emotional outburst has not caused any increase in the amount of radiation Pacassi emits. The Chief tries to comfort her, but decides that the best course of action for now is to give her some space.

After a hundred years, the term that no one dares mention has been brought up again — "nuclear". It was once an indispensable source of energy, but it too was the apocalypse that devastated our cities. And now, it sits silently in front of you.

Pacassi has settled in to the MBCC and is calm, reliable and pleasant at all times, but remains distant from her peers and spends most of her time alone. The Chief approaches her while she’s reading a history of DisCity and asks her about the history of her own hometown. Pacassi explains that Mayek was once a city of 500,000, and that it was able to survive easily for some time after Nightfall thanks to its nuclear power plant. However, 30 years ago, the power plant broke down for the first time, and Mayek’s population either died in the cold winter or left the city in large numbers. Pacassi’s parents left when she was 4 years old, and she was adopted by Longyear, becoming his assistant on running and maintaining the plant. It continued to degrade nonetheless, and for the last two years before the disaster, it did not run at all. Pacassi purchased a Hypercube from a traveling merchant from DisCity, with which she was able to easily repair the plant. But when Longyear found out, he was enraged and destroyed the device. The remainder of the Mayek’s population left after that, including Pacassi, but when snow began to fall she took pity on the old man and returned. She found Longyear asleep in the control room with the plant overheating, passed out, and does not remember anything until she woke up in DisCity.

The Chief tries to tell her that Longyear made his choice to protect Pacassi’s future, but she says that she doesn’t want a future where Mayek and Longyear are forgotten. She thanks the Chief for their kindness in listening to her and providing her with a comfortable life, and then leaves.

Pacassi left the sports ground. She is like a chunk of ice, never melting and encasing Mayek's numerous memories.
All of Mayek's memories belong to her and only her.

The Chief takes Pacassi out of the Bureau for a walk around Eastside. She is uncomfortable by the size and number of people in the enormous city, and reluctant to come along, but the Chief convinces her to go with them to a restaurant owned by one of the Mayekans who emigrated when Pacassi was young. They reveal that all those who came to DisCity have retained their culture and are still in touch with each other, but Pacassi is resistant to meeting them again. Finally, the Chief brings her to a building where they are beginning to construct a museum dedicated to Mayek’s history, complete with parts salvaged from the original power plant. Pacassi finally becomes emotional and accepts the Chief’s support, glad that the city and its people will not be forgotten.

You tour for a long time in Eastside and visit many places that Pacassi has never been to.
Mayek's memories don't belong to Pacassi alone anymore. They shall not be forgotten. Instead, more and more people will remember them.

Usually highly cooperative in all physical examinations, will agree to different sorts of investigation requests unconditionally, and able to give objective updates on own radiation sickness. Only shows reluctance to a few specific items such as close examinations and MRI scans.

The mechanical arm is tightly merged with flesh and difficult to replace, thus requiring regular care by a specialist doctor. The subject has requested reference books about mechanical medicine several times and expressed the wish to do self-study on the subject, unwilling to bother others.

Many Sinners are highly interested in the so-called walking nuclear pollution and have requested to observe the subject at close range despite the potential danger. The subject is obviously perturbed by this, but no longer objects as strongly as she did during the early days in the shelter.

The subject is an avid reader and learner. Recently, after browsing all the books available in the Bureau, the subject has initiated a creative project in which she continuously notes down the past events and memories from her hometown. The compiled manuscripts are handed over the Chief for safekeeping.

[Pacassi’s room is stacked with books.]

The cold-resistant clothes from Mayek can also weather radiation.

Anyone who touched me is no longer in this world.
