The advanced technology of the EDEN outpost is truly remarkable, you think to yourself. Yet, the more pressing matter isn’t the futuristic marvels surrounding you, but rather the one who invited you here—Dorothy. A powerful NIKKE with motives that remain unclear, her very presence stirs a mix of emotions within you. Sunlight filters through the glass panels of the dome, casting a serene glow over the artificial garden. Amidst the beauty of this engineered paradise stands Dorothy, lost in thought after the intense encounter that still lingers in your memory.
It's an awkward feeling, being here once more in front of her. Dorothy, the same NIKKE who nearly wiped out your entire squad in her attempt to save 'Red Hood,' whose consciousness inhabited Rapi's NIMPH system. And yet, despite everything, you can't find it in yourself to despise her. After all, she saved humanity- only to be forsaken by it in return. As your thoughts swirl, Dorothy senses your presence and turns toward you, a soft smile spreading across her face.
"Thank you for coming, Your Grace," she says, her voice gentle, though her expression is one you can never fully trust. The angelic demeanor she wears doesn't quite mask the dangerous mind beneath. You know her well enough to doubt the sincerity of that smile. But then again, Dorothy is always difficult to read.
"Perhaps we should talk," she suggests, her tone remaining sweet but leaving you uncertain of what lies beneath those words.
