Teddy: Decryptor

Oh, hi, Commandant. I'll be bothering you for a while, so please cooperate... It's also not a bad thing to get away from those idiots in the Engineering Force sometimes... Phew.

Just calibrate the frame according to plan... Right. That's it.

Oh, that's annoying... Wait, there's no extra work? Great.

This level of design is a cakewalk for me.

Hmm... I don't like to fight, but it sure feels nice to be stronger.

Oh? Is this for me? Hmm... It's acceptable. Thanks.

You want me to fight...? Why don't you get Karenina to do it? I'm an engineer...

Are you sure you want me to be the leader? ...Fine. If you insist.

Ah... Good job, Commandant.

...That's today's report. Anything else? I'll go work on other things, then.

You're right that I don't like to fight. How about assigning me more technical tasks instead of combat missions? ...Nah. Don't bother with those codes. You don't want to know what happens if I see a jumbled mess like that.

...Leonardo? There's not much to say. It's your cheesy family dynasty cliche of love, hate, kindness, and revenge, all tangled up and intertwined... Don't look so shocked. You didn't actually believe it, did you?

—Karenina, I'm not going to help you even if you secretly send me those forms you messed up in the Engineering Force. You should understand it by now, Cap—tain.

Hm? I found something interesting while I was scrolling... Wanna look at it together, Commandant? I gotta... I'm glad the coating I gave her didn't go to waste. What... Do you want one as well? I can personally design one for you.

Argh... Who's been maintaining these codes? These are... beyond saving. Let's just blow up the server and call it a day... Huh? I'm just sayin'... that server there is way too old and it's a fire hazard. It's in urgent need of dismantling.

If I weren't a Construct... I might have joined the wilderness like one of those heralds or become a bird in a pretty cage like all those "upper-class" folks in their fancy clothes. Doesn't sound too bad, does it?

Perhaps there will be a day when humans can create an energy source more powerful than zero-point energy... Heh. How come even I'm starting to dream in broad daylight...

I didn't seem to talk much before? I don't like talking to idiots I don't know. Now? Hmm... I suppose you're adequate enough. That said, if you don't want me to talk to you... that's fine by me.

Doing anything this afternoon, Commandant? Good, 'cause I've got it all planned out. First, you'll come shopping with me and check out the newest hardware. Then, we... What? Do you have any objections? I've seen your schedule. You're not getting out of this.

There must still be a lot of secrets hidden inside Gestalt that we haven't discovered... One day, I will decipher that data layer by layer. If that doesn't scare you, come with me—I'll show you where that tower ends.

Legacy is a grand and fuzzy concept. I don't deny that I once stood on the shoulders of giants, but I also despise those who rely on the "past" to create the "future." Don't you think we'll still pull it together and explore the darkness, even without all those old legends?

You want to know what I'm listening to on my headphones? Well... it's not always music. Ah, hold on. It's playing your speech right now... "This is the Gray Raven Commandant"... Did you think I was serious? Who would bother listening to you twice? Unless... you were hoping that I would?

Good morning. I'm not going to sleep any earlier, but I'm getting up early now that I've gotten used to your schedule. To live like this... I can get used to it.

What will I do once this is over? I guess... I'll open a terminal repair shop? Or make a game, maybe? Both sound pretty good... You? Be a cashier, or help me write my game proposals... If you want to be the mascot, I'm fine with that, too, obviously.

Hello, Commandant. Any other assignments for me?

Hi, you have reached the voicemail of Teddy. I'm not available right now. Please leave your message after the tone. Beep—

A curfew? Don't expect me to follow those stupid, nonsensical rules. Any restrictions that limit a Construct's freedom will—not—work for me.

Why don't you request a transfer and come work in the Engineering Force? I happen to need an assistant... What's so confusing about this? Of course the vice-captain needs her own assistant.

Hey! That's not how you install that part. Are you trying to blow up the sleeping pod and launch the lounge into space...? See? You have to install it from this angle.

Want a cookie? It's not often we get a break like this... Don't like the flavor? You have pretty bad taste, don't you...? What about this one? Give it a try.

Mm... Hm? Do you want to hear the song as well? Here. You can listen to it on this. Be careful! You can't afford to repay me if you break it.

I don't do fancy speeches, so... thanks for being in my life. No... I'm not joking this time.

Thank you for your gift. I'll keep it safe.

What are you trying to do... I'm not going to help you with anything too complicated. Nope, not even if you double the gifts.

...For me? This isn't too bad. What would you like in return? How about a sticker pack of ugly pictures of the Engineering Force captain?

You don't need to do so much to impress me. Just buy me a glass of cherry-flavor electrolyte...

Do you like to sing? We can do karaoke during our next break. What do you think? I've modified the karaoke machine to play songs from the Golden Age... Huh? What a shame... What? No, I wasn't going to record anything. Seriously.

Hmm... The gift I want the most... There's nothing I want in particular, honestly. Though, I did find a pretty good CD recently. Do you want to listen to it with me? I promise it's not your speech this time.

I received a lot of gifts when I was little. They were wrapped in shiny wrapping paper, and they were all expensive and boring... Obviously, I'll treasure whatever you give me, however valuable it is. It's not just the gifts themselves that are worth cherishing...

I wrote you a little program... Here. Its name is Brownie. It can help you search for anything you might need... What? The key to the lounge...? I guess I have to update it so it can physically repair your missing absent-minded brain.

How can you fall asleep like this? How busy is the Gray Raven Commandant...?

You're totally defenseless. Should I take this opportunity to take photos of you sleeping and make them a sticker pack? I'll call it—the Gray Raven Commandant Sticker Pack.

How many of these ridiculous jobs did you take? You're overworking yourself like an overloaded server... Let some of them slide if they're not that important...

Ha... Yawn. Hm? Has your brain been replaced with the latest computer model...? No? Then why aren't you going to rest? Unless you do want a computer in your skull? In that case... I can help.

Hey... hello? I've never seen someone fall asleep this quickly... I told you to transfer to the Engineering Force and be my assistant. Your life would be so much easier, and you wouldn't have to deal with all these files... Never mind. I'll sort this out for you, I guess... Don't forget to thank me once you wake up...

Commandant? It's almost break time.

—Stop drinking coffee. Are you waiting for those bags under your eyes to touch your cheeks before you take a break?

I have blocked all the work emails sent to you in the last hour. Go rest after you finish this part.

As your assistant, I'm obligated to remind you to get some rest... There's really no reason not to sleep at this hour. If you don't want your terminal locked, you'd—better—go to sleep now.

I've reset the program in your terminal. There will be a trumpet-playing teddy bear popping up periodically to remind you to rest... Yep. I planted it with a virus. Don't you dare try to erase it.

Hi, Commandant. Have a good day... I'm going to work now. Bye.

Yawn... It's been so long since I last heard the prattling voice of a particular idiot from the Engineering Force. I'm still getting used to it.

The Task Force Code of Conduct that was on the wall? How would I know where it's gone? Probably floating among the space junk with other old and useless documents?

This is today's schedule. The files you have to check this morning are on this side, and I've put the other things that aren't important on the other side. No need to thank me.

You're here. Do you want a cup of tea? I just made it... Here, have some cookies as well. I'm only giving them to you because you're starving. Don't expect me to have tea every time.

Did you sleep well? Me? I never lose sleep over anything. One way to keep an active M.I.N.D. is to regularly achieve decent, deep sleep. The same rule should apply to humans as well... so how was your sleep—last—night?

Do you want to see a meteor shower projected by the data stream? Hm? I'm not joking. Here, look—Alright, are you awake now? Yeah? Then start working.

Morning! Today's agenda is quite elaborate. You have to listen to music with Teddy, have tea with Teddy, and build the new building block sets with Teddy... Hm? I'm not lying. You wrote the schedule yourself. Here, look.

...Did you finally find the key to the lounge? I guess Brownie isn't useless, after all. Me? I've been waiting for you all this time and maintaining the facilities here... So, how are you planning to thank me?

I won't help you with your complicated requests, no matter how hard you shake me.

Aaah—is Babylonia falling—I'm just kidding.

You're not trying to mimic a bombing exercise with this pathetic attempt, are you?

...Hey. I can claim work injury compensation if I fall.

...How are you as childish as Karenina?

Don't poke my ears!

A commandant's job is so complicated... But your progress has exceeded my expectations.

...Looking for a fight? I'm really not good at this...

Found the bug.

Simulating attacks.

Trace erased.

Hook！

Accurate hit!

Not too shabby. Now—let me handle the rest!

Is that all you got? Okay—my turn!

There's... a glitch.

It's getting risky...

I guess... I can't watch you screw up this time...

Can't you handle this yourself?

Data calibration complete.

The bug's been fixed... Are you happy with what you saw?
