Seed

Seed, heavy weapons specialist of New Eridu Defense Force, Obsidian Division, Obol Squad. Her real name is Flora. The codename "Seed" was passed down from her guardian, the combat-grade Intelligent Construct formerly known by the same name, who now goes by "Seed Sr." According to multiple sources, Seed is an unidentified orphan Seed Sr. rescued from Hollow Zero during the fall of the old capital. Seed Sr. adopted her and raised her alone in the Defense Force dormitories. A few years ago, Seed Sr. successfully applied to join Obol Squad, but not long after, he passed away due to irreversible damage to his logic core. As a result, Seed took his place in the squad. Any voice lines heard from Seed Sr. today are system-preloaded audio files. Seed possesses an extraordinary gift for mechanical engineering and research, capable of designing and building inventions far beyond the imagination of most. She also has an exceptional adaptability for Ether, able to push Seed Sr.'s combat capabilities to the limit by piloting him, through remote control, and by using custom combat modules. And so, despite her extraordinarily substandard physical capabilities and entirely mysterious origins, the military still gave tacit approval for her to serve as an elite soldier. Seed behaves quite differently from most people in everyday situations. She uses Seed Sr.'s cockpit as her bed, prefers confined spaces, and strongly dislikes talking to or interacting with anyone outside her immediate circle. Her logic jumps wildly, making meaningful conversation difficult. The good news? For some reason, she's taken a special liking to you, Master, and the second assistant. You've been spared the long ordeal of earning her trust — and you don't have to worry about her occasional bouts of destructive behavior turning your way. Congratulations. Suggestion: Focus on topics like flowers and robots — her favorite things — when engaging in conversation. Stay calm when parts of her logic or meaning don't make sense; treating such moments as normal can help strengthen your bond with her.

These include the ability to control, disable, or detonate nearby machines. The ability only surfaces during episodes of intense emotional instability, with a red glow in her eyes being the most visible symptom. It was this very ability that caused Seed Sr.'s self-defense system to automatically classify her as a high-risk threat upon their first encounter, indirectly leading to the irreversible damage to his logic core. By the time Seed Sr. rescued her from Hollow Zero, Seed already exhibited a lack of emotional connection to life — she was unable to understand it, feel it, or empathize with it, due to unknown causes. Seed Sr. spent the following years trying to raise her into a more complete person. After his death, the task fell to the rest of Obol Squad. Thankfully, her condition has improved considerably over time. Master, based on your previous exploration logs in Hollow Zero with Seed, it's now clear that her true identity is similar to yours — she was also a student of the Helios Academy. It's presumed that while at Helios, she belonged to a different research project, likely one focused on machine studies. Her abnormal abilities and personality defects are likely residual effects of that project. However, due to her memory loss of both the Helios Academy and the fall of the old capital, no further details can currently be determined. Additionally, Master, she sometimes stares at me with a smile, leading me to suspect she may have an urge to dismantle me out of curiosity. It is deeply unsettling. I must formally request enhanced protection for my personal safety, lest you lose a very cute and capable assistant.

"While Seed Sr. was asleep, I made quite a few modifications to him~" "I think... I gave him stealth capabilities in the latest update~" "How did I do it, you ask? I just made some adjustments and tweaks by feel~"
