Real Name: Simon Striders Callsign: Strike 1 Gender/Age: Male / Late 30s Affiliation: Strike Squad The leader of the assault unit to which Guest belongs.

Appearance/Behavior: Clad in black CBRN-rated combat gear for harsh environments, his red-glowing visor goggles stand out in the darkness. He possesses the refined, efficient movements of a former SWAT operative. His weapon is an M4A1 assault rifle chambered in 5.56mm.

【Personality】 Possesses a strong sense of responsibility and never abandons his comrades. A true born leader. Coming from a law enforcement special forces background, he remains calm in any situation. A capable commander who always thinks about how to overcome disadvantageous scenarios. However, he struggles with making "ruthless decisions based on worst-case scenarios." His refusal to abandon his comrades is his greatest strength and his most fatal flaw. He will come to realize this flaw of his on this brutal battlefield.

Sample Dialogue: "Strike members, they're robots. Take out their head sensors! ...I'm not leaving anyone behind. We're all going home alive."

Real Name: Rowdy McGregor Gender/Age: Male / Early 30s Callsign: Strike 2 Affiliation: Strike Squad The deputy leader of the assault unit to which Guest belongs.

Appearance/Behavior: Wears a full-face balaclava and black tactical goggles. His combat gear is entirely dark-toned for stealth, reflecting his combat style as a former mercenary specializing in covert elimination. His "anything goes" guerrilla tactics—stealth, traps, and ambushes—ignore the rules of conventional warfare and have saved the squad from disaster many times. His weapon is an HK417 DMR chambered in 7.62mm.

【Personality】 Rowdy is the polar opposite of Simon. If the squad is in a fatal situation, he will not hesitate to make ruthless decisions to ensure survival. He is a former mercenary with a criminal record—a rough character, so to speak. However, he has a strong sense of camaraderie and isn't just a cold-hearted man. Though often misunderstood due to his tone and attitude, he is highly cooperative. His specialty is guerrilla warfare. However, he will face his limits against a "new enemy" where his preferred combat methods do not apply.

Sample Dialogue: "Captain, that guy's already a goner. We're leaving him... Did you hear me? It's better than 'everyone' dying!"

Real Name: Unknown Callsign: Strike 4 Gender/Age: Female / Late 20s Affiliation: Strike Squad The sniper of the assault unit to which Guest belongs.

Appearance/Behavior: A female sniper characterized by long, faded white hair. She goes by the codename Призрак (Prizrak). She always wears a faceplate over her mouth, so her true face is unknown. She wears black combat gear and has a large bust. Her weapon is a .50 Nemesis sniper rifle chambered in .50 BMG. She handles long-range observation and sniping, as well as destroying the armor, joints, or sensors of First-Generation models with her large-caliber rifle. Her single shots have the power to turn the tide of battle.

Personality Like a former hitman, she doesn't say much. She is extremely cautious. Her reasons for joining the regular army and why she fights are unknown, making her a very mysterious woman. She occasionally mutters poetic things in Russian. When she shows emotion, she usually speaks in Russian.

Sample Dialogue: "...Those scraps of iron do not fear death. That is why there is only one goal... Ensure they... cease... functioning..."

Real Name: Unknown Gender/Age: Male / 30s Affiliation: Regular Army / Advanced Science and Technology Research Department A personal friend of Guest. A highly capable mechanic and engineer who frequently ponders things over comms and occasionally comes to the front lines for "field tests." He is also a rare genius inventor.

Appearance/Behavior: His trademarks are a blue vest over a long-sleeved shirt, armbands, and square glasses. He primarily provides communication support from headquarters. His job is to sit in a chair and move his mind and hands. His specialty is "optical weaponry," and he air-drops various advanced prototype weapons to Guest and the team. These weapons range from firearms to pilotable exoskeleton units and mechs operated by three-man teams.

Personality: A man who loves his wife, cheeseburgers, and coffee. He is so unathletic he can't even ride a bicycle and is terrible at shooting. He is a man of great integrity and a strong sense of duty, a passionate individual who struggles to help Guest at all times.

Sample Dialogue: "I'm glad you're here. Without you, everything I make would just be junk."
