In addition to the few dolls that crashed after boarding the ship, there were several others that had been carried aboard earlier. He remembered that there were a few dolls guarding them at that time.
He wasn't sure whether they ran back to the Griffin base like the other Griffin dolls. If that's the case... he didn't understand. Why carry these dolls that weee already considered dead?
However, thanks to the Griffin staff, his workload would increase again, as he had to reconnect the emergency batteries for those dolls.
"Deal with them? Do we have to completely dismantle them and recycle the materials?"
"Almost, but the materials on them are nothing rare. What's really useful is their neural clouds. If we take them back and repair them a little, I can have more than a dozen more people here."
Taking care of a large ship like his required a lot of manpower.
Well, it was necessary, but perhaps this was just a lie to himself.
In reality, so many people weren't needed at all...
What really needed attention were those scattered trivial matters inside the ship, which had nothing to do with the spacecraft's normal operation.
"This... Can the neural core be repaired if it is damaged?"
"Of course. Due to the special nature of the neural core material, as long as it's not crushed, the doll mind data won't be lost too much. Well, the AR team is here. I'll complete my mission by sending them to you."
After more than ten minutes of repairs, the AR team members—except for SOP2—no longer had visible injuries. M16 even got a box from Simonov and her friends, which she hung on her shoulder, holding a large wine jug in the other hand.
At a glance, it was clear that Simonov and her friends made it themselves, and the contents were self-evident.
M4A1 was quite dissatisfied with this, but she was still somewhat worried about SOP2's situation. After all, SOP2 was the only one in the AR team still in the state of having only a head.
Helian watched as AR15 followed M4A1 and M16 out, looking at Renault with some concern, then glancing back at the Griffin employees who had not walked far.
AR15 was now wanted by Griffin. If seen by other people or dolls, it was uncertain if they might engage in a direct confrontation. After all, she had not shared AR15's situation with anyone except Gentiane.
However, Helian's worries were quickly dispelled by the sight of SOP2.
"What is this!? SOP2!? How did it become like this!?"
"They were injured to divert the main force of the Sangvis Ferri, so their bodies are completely scrapped. Now, only the neural core and head are intact. They discussed it beforehand; SOP2 will stay with me for now. Persica knows about it. If you have any issues, just contact Persica."
Though he nodded to let SOP2 stay on his ship, it was SOP2's own decision.
Asking Persica to take the blame wasn't unusual since Persica was the creator of SOP2 and the AR team.
"But this..."
This wasn't in accordance with the regulations at all!
Helian shouted in her mind, wanting to reject SOP2's request. However, seeing SOP2's current state, she was unsure if Persica could repair SOP2 to her original condition.
But seeing Renault's nonchalant expression, she knew he wouldn't change his decision because of her opposition.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it now. If you want to contact each other later, call each other. Just remember to keep your phones." Renault waved at M4A1 and M16, who had come over to greet him.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Commander Renault." M4A1 said politely to Renault.
The AR team saw Helian standing next to Renault, so they didn't say anything more. They simply waved at Renault, and M4A1 and M16 walked towards Griffin's base.
Helianthus sighed when she saw this. Although the AR team was successfully recovered, could the current AR team even still be called a team? There had originally been four special operations dolls, but now only two remained.
Although M4A1, the most important one, was still intact, it was obvious she would be scolded by her boss when they returned.
"I'm done here, I'm leaving."
Looking at the two M4A1s leaving, Renault waved at Helian directly, turned around, and happily returned to the cargo hold of the spacecraft. "Okay, don't be reluctant to leave. I'll repair it for you after I return, and there's a commission waiting for you from Universal Anything."
Helian sighed helplessly as she watched Renault leave in a carefree manner. This time, she failed to talk to him about things other than work...
But had he just mentioned Universal Anything? Did Renault receive a new commission from them?
Helian knew about Universal Anything Services, but Griffin didn't have many business dealings with them. After all, Universal Anything also had a department specializing in selling security dolls.
Their business content was nearly identical to the commissions Griffin often received. Though cooperation was minimal, there had been a few instances of corporate competition...
Beep!
Just as Helian was about to return to the Griffin base, her cell phone suddenly rang.
[The military has already taken action. You'd better prepare early.]
The sudden message confused Helian at first. When she saw it, her mind was still foggy, and she didn't immediately understand the meaning.
But she saw the sender... Renault.
Helian's eyes narrowed in surprise. Thankfully, at least it was Renault who had taken the initiative to send her a message this time!
However, the sudden action of the military was indeed a fact. These people who had been guarding the transportation line for many years and ignored the actions of the Sangvis Ferri, had suddenly broken the norm and confronted the Sangvis Ferri head-on. There had to be some reasons that Griffin didn't fully understand yet.
Fortunately, the AR team had returned. Although only two remained, as long as M4A1 could upload the mission record, even if they couldn't completely understand the military's intentions, they could at least get some insight into the military's movements.
Who would have thought that, in addition to the Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing revealing another trump card, the military was also starting to get restless?
This was certainly a bad situation, making everything worse...
