Profile

Glaucus was born in the Ægir Region, but left at an early age to wander about. By chance, she happened to join Rhodes Island and is now a Raythean cutting-edge weapon tester.

In addition to performing research on cutting-edge weapon modification, Glaucus also carries out assaults on air missions when required.

Clinical Analysis

Imaging tests reveal clear, normal outlines of internal organs, and no abnormal shadows have been detected. Originium granules have not been detected in the circulatory system and there is no sign of infection. At this time, this operator is believed to be uninfected.

[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 0%

Glaucus shows no signs of Oripathy.

[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.11u/L

Glaucus very rarely comes into contact with Originium.

Glaucus's methods in combat are very unusual. This is probably due to her weapon. She personally doesn't seem to do much. Instead, those vexing enemy drones just drop to the ground wherever she goes, it is unclear how this was achieved. Although she can quite reliably manage the drones, I personally wish she would be more mindful of her surroundings. After all, if she keeps having to dip into her own pockets to help her fellow operators repair the facilities after battle, she's going to run into long-term money issues...

Glaucus's internal evaluation is very interesting. It is unknown if this is just her nature or if she's just used to going with the flow, but as a newcomer, Glaucus does not speak much. Though she has quickly integrated herself with other operators, in the majority of situations, she prefers to listen and not speak. When speaking is required of her, she is smooth and evasive, and reveals very little of her actual thinking. She has also been admonished for repeatedly spacing out during meetings. According to the results of her current observation, it is only when discussing technology and machinery with Vulcan, Mayer, and Closure that Glaucus expresses her opinions with any enthusiasm. It is with Closure's referral that Glaucus became a Raythean weapon tester. She has displayed astonishing talent in the areas of electrical application and electromagnetism.

According to her health report, Glaucus's lower body only has half the strength of a normal adult and her muscles continue to atrophy. Naturally, her exoskeletal equipment is designed to make up for deficiencies in mobility.

As Glaucus herself tells it, her muscular atrophy is due to a hereditary disease passed down in her family. Even in a special ecological environment such as the Ægir Region, incidence of such hereditary disease is rare and there is currently no treatment available.

However she does not seem dispirited by her situation. On the contrary, her passion for technology seems to come from the exoskeletal equipment designed to help her overcome these hardships.

Something worth mentioning is that Glaucus was born with antibodies that fight against irritants and poisons. Apart from conventional poisons, nerve paralyzers and hallucinogens are essentially ineffective. Glaucus is eager to accompany the medics' research. To put it more precisely, she pretends to understand what they're saying and nods along. Sometimes they are concerned whether she is even really following along with what they're saying...

[Observation Supplemental Report]

Glaucus is one of the few operators willing to try Blue Poison's desserts. She is also friends with Deepcolor, though most of the time she just watches Deepcolor paint. She seems to have some kind of reverence for Skadi. Apart from this, she spends a great amount of time in her room performing weapon maintenance and adjustment. There is very little activity related to things she is personally interested in. Even more rarely does she leave her room.

In short, she is a somewhat dull and awkward child who prefers silently doing her own things.

As a result, I believe that the allegation that Glaucus and her relatives are involved in a secret heretical organization in the Ægir Region is not related to her current operational performance. I hope that the Justice Division has reservations about acting on this.

Promotion Record

Glaucus's weapon, 'Raythean Franker,' didn't in fact originally have such an outrageous function. It could even be said to have been a defective product. When it was originally designed, it was only intended to disrupt enemy communications. Afterawards, it was discovered that this weapon's high frequency electromagnetic spectrum capabilities could not be controlled. The first thing that was damaged was the communications device in the user's own pocket. As a result, it was abandoned. It was Glaucus who took a look at it during an overhaul of her exoskeletal equipment and took it back to Rhodes Island for a very low price. Unexpectedly, after some modifications performed by Glaucus, it was able to inflict powerful destructive power against enemy machines. However, it also damaged a large amount of our own equipment. Is this why Silence and Mayer suggested that Glaucus should work on her own?

Whether this operator can shoulder the burden of individual missions is judged solely on objective conditions and must never be mixed with personal factors.

    Not one person could put words to her joy in that moment.

    When Glaucus gets her hands on this suit, she doesn't have any particularly great expectations. She imagines it'll just enable her to walk a bit faster, stand a bit longer, give her a few more days in her life of feeling the sensation of the ground with her own two legs.

    She's not all too clear on what kind of change it can bring into her life, but she's sure it beats a wheelchair, and it'll give her a bare minimum sort of comfort during the times she can use it, she'd like to be able to stand as long as she wishes, after all.

    Fraction by fraction, she installs the exoskeleton around her legs. The ice-cold metal presses against her skin, and the straps bind her weakened leg muscles tight. She gives lifting one leg a try, against the heavy frame has her all the more unable to move her feet.

    She's spent so long unable to run now.

    'Is this really going to do anything?'

    Glaucus whispers to herself. She's not sure; she's never touched this sort of technology before.

    A few years ago, when Glaucus learned her leg muscle atrophy was caused by a hereditary disease in her family, she still had hopes she'd be lucky, thinking how maybe it could be cured, that it was only serious for a tiny fraction of her family, and she wouldn't be so unfortunate.

    Yet as the days went by, Glaucus realized nothing could prevent the gradual loss of strength in her legs, and all she could do was talk herself into accepting this, how it was bound to happen to her body sooner or later.

    But today, abruptly, with an unwavering power, the exoskeleton braces her body. Hurriedly, Glaucus seizes on this force and stands up, nervousness overcoming her, the bloodrush as her heart violently pounds causing her to take a tiny step forward.

    Then comes a second.

    A third.

    A fourth.

    Glaucus walks through the door, this physically choking emotion surging through her head, squeezing all her reason out. She has a sudden urge to run that defies everything. Even though she still hasn't gotten a hold of her balance, she feels she's gotten a miraculous hold of everything.

    The metal is ice-cold, steel-solid, and it braces her frail legs. She runs like the wind, runs for the endless world outside.

Two memories stand out to me. One is the first time I ran with this exoskeleton. My eyes went wide and all was right with the world. As for the other... That would have to be right here, right now at Rhodes Island.

New Year's blessing
Doctor, Happy New Year. Present? I haven't thought about it... Oh, actually, I've been hoping to get a fair allowance for battle damage... but I've never had the guts to raise it with Dr. Kal'tsit.
Greeting
Good morning to you, Doctor.
Birthday
Doctor, happy birthday. I have a compass here from my collection. It's for you. Technology keeps marching on, but some stuff still keeps a classic form factor. Isn't that wonderful...? Oh, sorry, I got a little off-track. Anyway, may you never lose your way, on your forward course.
Anniversary Celebration
Being able to run again is such a blessing, I'll never forget what Rhodes Island has done for me. Now I want to help everyone by my own power too, but it still seems like I get in the way more than anything... I'll keep on trying, though. So that someday, I really can be of help to you all.
