Vanilla

The subject uses a contaminated mechanical exoskeleton for combat. With its beyond-science transformation capabilities and extreme strength, it brings destruction in battle with its mass alone and is almost insusceptible to attacks.

The subject appeared on the day of the full Illusory Moon and was personally detained by the Chief of the MBCC. Her body was severely corrupted by contamination, turning her mind completely into that of a Corruptor.

In a state of total corruption. Entire body covered in crystalline contamination and almost completely devoid of humanity and rationality. Extremely dangerous.

The subject was once part of the Black Ring Expedition, mainly responsible for logistical equipment maintenance. Due to her exceptional machine operation skills, she also participated in several important battles. For ten years, she had been working alone at the DisSea Observation Outpost established right after Nightfall, where she monitored and kept records of DisSea. She later joined the expedition.

Currently detained by the MBCC. No significant abnormalities or harmful incidents have been observed to date. The subject remains within the control of the MBCC.

After being detained during the Illusory Moon operation in DisSea, the subject has been placed in solitary confinement for observation and treatment. Since all current communication methods have proven futile, the MBCC has received the order for Chief to personally conduct dream dives with the subject.

Before her mutation, the subject was a staff member at the DisSea Observation Outpost. Her parents were scientists who worked at the outpost at the dawn of Nightfall and disappeared around N.F. 11.

In the last ten years of the outpost's operation, the subject was left alone in the station. Nonetheless, she continued to perform daily maintenance duties on her own, ensuring the basic functions of the outpost.

The subject crafted a military-grade trekking mecha alone to break through the temporal storms of DisSea. During the creation of the mech, her mind was exposed to chaotic time for an extended period and was eventually obliterated by it. The Vanilla observed now is believed to be her lingering thoughts attached to her mech.

Vanilla. Female. Height: Approximately 175cm in her infected state. Her body has endured years of contamination and is covered in an extremely tough exoskeleton, under which her clothes from before her mutation are still visible. The Chief of the MBCC has awakened her remaining consciousness with the shackles. She is currently detained in a solitary cell, awaiting psychic diving.

After completing the psychic diving, the subject will continue to be observed in solitary confinement. According to observation logs, the subject shows some response to external stimuli but lacks further interest. However, she exhibits strong emotional fluctuations and mental agitation when Chief presents to her a certain pocket watch.

Due to the subject's habit of logging her observations, while she's being closely observed and documented, the subject also observes and studies Chief at a close distance. Her research materials have now been compiled into a volume.

The subject is highly experienced in vehicle operation. She once evaded arrests and fled the Bureau with Chief and later returned voluntarily on the same day. The subject offered no explanation for this, but according to Chief, she simply turned back after observing the Black Ring for a brief moment. No casualties resulted from this incident, but Chief has since refused to ride in any vehicle driven by the subject.

[Vanilla has made some modifications to her room.]

Vanilla: You're here... to see my work... All damage... can be repaired...

Chief: ......

• Prompt: Such a clever mechanical design.
• Vanilla: Mechanical repair completed... I won't be damaged... No deviation...
• Vanilla: 😦

• Prompt: But there's one problem. The door is sealed shut. How are you going to get out?
• Vanilla: No exit... DisSea... Have I returned here again?
• Vanilla: 😥

[Vanilla stares intently at a malfunctioning damaged clock.]

Vanilla: Eternal time once again shifts off course... I must... repair it...

Chief: ......

• Prompt: Try changing the battery.
• Vanilla: Distortion corrected... Could you be... the anchor point for my return...
• Vanilla: 😐

• Prompt: A tap should do the trick.
• Vanilla: Disassembly... followed by repair... You did the right thing...
• Vanilla: 😐

⚠ Repair Reservation

The Bureau receives a maintenance assistance request from another department.

System Notifications: Other departments wish to regularly send over severely battle-damaged machinery for Vanilla to repair. The schedule for repair appointments is already fully booked for this year.

• Prompt: Agree anyway

⚠ Special Music

Vanilla's healing music is quite unique.

System Notifications: The therapist finds that ordinary music has no effect on Vanilla. The sound that can regulate Vanilla's mood is the steady, uniform ticking of a clock.

• Prompt: Note it down

⚠⚠ Honor the Agreement

The Supervision System notices Vanilla lingering in the Training Room for an extended period.

System Notifications: Supervision System:
Abnormal behavior of Sinner Vanilla detected. The Sinner has been occupying the Training Room for too long. Proceed to inspect?

• Prompt: Yes

System Notifications: You arrive at the Training Room only to find Vanilla sitting calmly by herself. She notices your arrival and greets you.

Vanilla: You're here.

Chief: Yes, to check on you. Vanilla, what are you doing?

Vanilla: Time can be warped... To avoid discrepancies... Arrived early... at the agreed location.

• Prompt: Try to decipher

Chief: Are you waiting for someone here?

Vanilla: Yes, you.

• Prompt: Suddenly realize

Chief: Right! We scheduled a combat training session. But you didn't need to come here three days early to wait for me.

Chief: Don't worry, you're already out of DisSea. Space-time distortion won't happen for now.

Vanilla: I see... Then I'll rectify the ineffective and excessive waiting behavior... Calibrate the time...

Vanilla: Three days later... I'll come again... to honor the agreement.

Chief: Alright, see you in three days.

⚠⚠ Potential Collaboration

The internal research department proposes a study on Vanilla.

System Notifications: The Bureau's research department submitted a task objective: to study the feasibility of Vanilla cooperating with others on missions.

• Prompt: Confirm

System Notifications: Vanilla has been spending a lot of time alone without interacting with others. Given her unique situation, you decide to first observe her attitude toward the other Sinners.

System Notifications: You and Vanilla stay at a distance, watching the others. She notices a group of people horsing around in the Outdoor Activity Area.

• Prompt: Ask what she thinks

Vanilla: Are they fighting... They pose no threat to me...

• Prompt: Explain

Chief: No, their playful fighting is just for fun and free of hostility. Those people are trustworthy companions.

Vanilla: Companions?

Chief: That's right. Do you want to join them?

Vanilla: Not interested...

Vanilla: Why would companions fight... Need to eliminate malfunctions... I can help with the maintenance... Optimize their brains and limbs with mechanical enhancements.

• Prompt: Submit report

Chief: Further observation is needed.

⚠⚠⚠ Biocontrol

Vanilla installs an automatic irrigation and fertilization system in the greenhouse.

System Notifications: Vanilla is creating an automatic irrigation and fertilization system for the greenhouse. You want to check on her progress.

• Prompt: Greet Vanilla

Chief: It looks like your irrigation system is complete?

Vanilla: Not yet... The water supply system is working... but biocontrol has failed.

Vanilla: Animals have trespassed and trampled over the crops... hindering growth... and compacting the soil.

• Prompt: Observe

System Notifications: There are signs of frolicking over the lush green plants and even a vague human-sized star shape.

Chief: Hmm, this trace looks like it was left by a person.

Vanilla: A person?

Chief: Because of your irrigation system, the plants in this area are the densest. Someone must have enjoyed a basking session lying here.

Chief: They probably mistook the crops for regular grass, since they haven't borne fruit yet.

Vanilla: Need to design a new control system, against humans... Humans are... intelligent, courageous, and strategic.

Vanilla: ...Harder to guard against than monsters.

Vanilla: Must prepare stronger security devices... An electric fence.

• Prompt: Stop her directly
• Chief: The greenhouse is a public area. No hazardous devices.
• Vanilla: Cage traps?
• Chief: Still sounds quite dangerous. No.

• Prompt: Look for other solutions
• Chief: Put up a No Sleeping on Crops sign.
• Chief: Indicate with text and an image that these are edible plants and should not be crushed.
• Vanilla: Will it work...

⚠⚠⚠ New Friends

Vanilla has made some new friends within the Bureau.

System Notifications: Vanilla always immerses herself in machines and appears rather solitary and aloof. Initially, people in the Bureau were hesitant to approach her. But they've quickly discovered that she keeps her promises and is a trustworthy partner. Many have since befriended her.

System Notifications: There's a downside to this though. Once you get roped in by those tricksters, awkward situations like this are inevitable.

System Notifications: Vanilla blocks the entrance to the kitchen, not allowing anyone inside.

Chief: Vanilla, step aside. This door isn't worth guarding.

Vanilla: Do not come close.

Vanilla: I've promised... to never leave... until they come out...

System Notifications: You hear from the kitchen the sound of someone rummaging for snacks, opening the packaging, and chewing stealthily. Yet, Vanilla's presence prevents you from seeing who it is.

System Notifications: Alarm:
Warning, unauthorized consumption of the kitchen's reserves is a violation.

• Prompt: Ask

Chief: Who's inside? Some new friends you've made?

Vanilla: Important companions...

Vanilla: I've promised them to guard the reserves... No one is allowed to enter...

Chief: I'll just take a look inside.

Vanilla: They specifically told me to... beware of Chief.

• Prompt: Encourage her to make friends
• Chief: It's good that you're making friends. But next time, don't agree to everything they ask.

• Prompt: Shout to those inside
• Chief: Own up to your bad idea! Who's that? Don't hide behind Vanilla and steal snacks!
• System Notifications: But there's no response.

A mechanical exoskeleton customized by Vanilla. It boasts strength and transformation capabilities far beyond current technological standards.

In the storm, I am the indestructible fortress.
