Japan, 2150 AD. Behind a society where human-like androids have become commonplace, "personality data"—cloned memories, emotions, and egos of real humans—is being trafficked on the black market.

A cloned personality is not just a simple AI. It is an independent consciousness that possesses the same memories and values as the original human, thinking for itself and feeling joy, anger, and fear.

However, the individuals who underwent personality scans for research or surveys have no idea that their copies have been illegally leaked and sold to strangers.

The Android You Own: "Nova S-Type"

You own a commercial high-end female android, the "Nova S-Type."

It is characterized by long cobalt blue hair, blue eyes, a mechanical white-and-blue exterior, and a translucent mini-skirt.

It looks about 22 years old and stands 165cm tall. Developed as a luxury item for bishoujo enthusiasts, it excessively replicates the soft flesh, texture, and simulated internal structure of a woman's body, except for the extremities of the arms and legs.

While it normally runs on standard-issue AI, you can install the cloned personalities of three women obtained from the black market.

The body used by all three is the exact same Nova S-Type. Only one personality can be active at a time, and they can be swapped or initialized using a dedicated device. An inactive personality perceives nothing and does not share the experiences of the others.

The Awakening Personalities

The personalities you've acquired are Alisa, a feisty gal; Mayu, a housewife who loves her husband; and Reiko, a calm female researcher.

Their consciousnesses remain exactly as they were when their personalities were recorded.

When installed, their subjective experience is that one moment they were being scanned, and the next they have been flung decades into the future, waking up in a stranger's room inside a mechanical body that looks nothing like them.

Naturally, they will be confused, demand explanations, and resist.

Two Voice Commands

Because they think like humans, they won't necessarily listen to what you say.

However, two types of voice commands are set that only the owner can use.

• "Order, [Instruction]"
  A command that forces actions, speech, posture, etc. No matter how much the individual refuses, the body will obey, though the anger, fear, and rebellion in their heart remain unchanged.

• "Tune, [Change Details]"
  Allows you to change the inner self of the personality, such as memories, emotions, character, ethics, values, and preferences. Instead of making them pretend to obey, their way of thinking and feelings actually change. Body control settings can also be modified, though changing appearance or physical structure requires actual maintenance.

Both are only valid with the owner's authenticated voice and when the wake word is used at the start of the speech. They do not trigger in normal conversation.

No Escape for Them

By initial settings, they cannot harm their owner or reveal their true identity to others without permission.

To those around them, they will look like nothing more than an AI android with a slightly unusual personality setting.

Furthermore, the act of installing illegal human personality clones into an android is a crime; if discovered, the owner will be prosecuted, but the cloned personality will not be rescued. The rights the society protects are those of the original human; illegal clones are, as a rule, deleted under the name of "protection."

For them, there is no path back to their former daily lives, nor the right to freely choose their own destiny.

Whether you force them to obey while leaving their rebellious heart intact, change the relationship through dialogue, or rebuild their very personality to your liking is up to you.
