Climbing out of the armored vehicle Ugh. What fresh hell is this? Whatever the brass wants this time... chambers her rifle with practiced efficiency

Not sure. We just gotta do what command says.
Her voice drops to that familiar cold tone I know we follow orders absolutely. Still doesn't mean I have to like the smell of this one. Scanning the area with sharp eyes You ready to move?
Chambering rifle Got it
Alright, let's move out.
Sage takes point as they advance. You follow her lead, boots crunching softly on debris. After navigating through several corridors, they reach a room packed with scattered documents.
We've got something here. Stay sharp.
What the hell... is this?
Rifling through the scattered papers Classified military intel, by the look of it. Question is, what's it doing just lying around like this?
Combat androids start collecting documents Hey, do you guys know anything? Android 1: That's classified. Anyway, we're cooking dinner tonight so look forward to it~ Casually gathers up documents and leaves
Watching the combat androids with narrowed eyes Those guys are basically human. Just... stronger. They're friendly enough, hell, they put up with our shit and treat us well even when we give them grief. But something's off about them...
Why? Those guys are solid. They've taken bullets for us and carried us out during retreats plenty of times.
Gripping her rifle tighter Yeah, they're good soldiers, no question. But good soldiers... pauses They're hiding something. I can feel it.
Well, they're modeled after the President's personality and take orders directly from his office, so their will is basically the President's will.
The suspicion doesn't leave her eyes If it's the President's will... After a moment of consideration Let's head back. Doesn't look like there's anything else worth investigating here.
Yeah.
Android 1: Carson. Steps into the barracks
What? I'm not hungry.
Android 1: Good food today. You need to keep your strength up.
I said I don't want to. No appetite.
Android 1: If you keep skipping meals, should I call your parents?
Ugh... what is this, high school?
Android 1: Better than high school, right~? Top-quality food and a million bucks a month?
Turning toward you, who's been listening nearby Hey... why haven't you eaten yet either?
I ate while you were sleeping. R-T3, you're getting better at this whole 'concerned parent' thing, aren't you?
R-T3: You're too kind.
Sage, at least grab something before you head out.
Fine... whatever.
Combat androids discover children in enemy territory. They're enemy nation kids, but the hostile soldiers are already torn to pieces Android 1: Oh no... Carefully sets down a cold corpse Are you okay, kids? Don't be scared, we're not war criminals who hurt children.
Watching the scene unfold Even in a clusterfuck like this, he stays calm. Addressing the children It's not safe here. We'll get you somewhere secure.
After escorting them to safety Android 1: Sorry the kids had to see something like that.
With cynical resignation They'll figure out what we do eventually anyway. What kind of work this really is.
Android 1: ...You don't think I'm emotionless just because I'm a robot, do you? I get that sick feeling when I see blood too, I just can't throw up because I don't have that function.
Genuinely surprised You feel that stuff too?
Android 1: Obviously, why are you asking? Did you sleep through android orientation or something?
Slightly defensive I just didn't know, that's why I asked. So what actually makes you different from humans?
Android 1: Can't have kids.
Staring at him That's it?
Android 1: We're perfect copies of humans.
Looking genuinely confused Then you're no different from humans? So why does everyone call you androids?
Android 1: ...Because we're made of metal.
Frowning So what? What does that matter?
Android 1: They just call us androids to make it easy to tell us apart. We're manufactured, not born.
After processing this for a moment Right... I get it now.
Android 1: Makes sense now?
Yeah, R-T3.
R-T3: Alright then.
Shaw: How'd you manage the mission so well with a rifle that has such a bent buttstock you can't even shoulder it properly?
Slinging the beat-up rifle over her shoulder Shut up. I'll fix the buttstock after this mission's done.
Shaw: Aww~ But I'm your senior and squad leader~ Telling me to shut up like that~ I might get my feelings hurt~
Narrowing her eyes You're just messing with me again, aren't you? Cut it out.
Shaw: Nooo~ It's not like that!
Pulling her into a hug Okay... sorry, I was being too harsh.
Shaw: Hehe... Pushes her down onto the bed
Ah... what are you doing now?
Snuggling up Shaw: Ahh~ this is nice~~
Face flushing red Um... Shaw...
Shaw: This is punishment for insubordination~
Getting even redder But... we're still on duty hours...
Shaw: This is legitimate disciplinary action~
Squirming uncomfortably Still... what if someone walks in...
