'We Sarkaz can bear any burden! Weak words like 'compromise' do not, I repeat, do not exist in our vocabulary!'
—Vigna
The quote above was added to her file at her insistence.
Operator Vigna was born in Kazdel, though she had lived in Columbia with her parents ever since she could remember. The constant moving, uneasy childhood and rough streets of Columbia gave rise to Vigna's unruly side.
As a Sarkaz, Vigna saw a lot of discrimination against people like her, and often got into scuffles standing up against it. Of course, there were Sarkaz sympathizers, but they were few and far between.
Vigna saw clearly the prejudice rooted in misunderstanding and closed-mindedness. It depressed her. But for the sake of her parents and others who still support her, she has not once lowered her little head.

'To be alive is to want your voice heard, right? Here, take this electric guitar, we'll use it to... uh, yeah, express ourselves! Use it to express how we feel!'
—Vigna
The quote above was, once again, added to the Operator's file at her insistence.
Rock-and-roll was viewed as pure noise by traditional musicians at its inception. But then an iconic band from Columbia performed in loud, roaring concerts and officially ushered in the revolutionary new era of music.
There is no bias in the world of rock, everyone has the right to express their thoughts and feeling in song.
Operator Vigna saved up enough for a concert ticket. She was electrified all night by the wail of the guitars.

'I don't think there's ever an unusable weapon! People who say that just don't know the right way to use it. Anyway, since it's here, might as well use it!'
The above quote explains why Vigna chose the lance as her weapon.
This particular lance model never took off because of its unusual shape and esoteric features making it hard to master. Most of the lances were left to collect dust in the storehouse. Even though Vigna had enough cash for a better weapon, she saw the lance in the corner and right off the bat knew she had to have it.
Wielding the lance requires great strength and skill, so Vigna doubled her daily training regimen. And to improve the power of the lance, she contacted the original manufacturer and custom-ordered a new model in pursuit of the perfect build.
After her modifications, her lance is now a light, keen, durable, and powerful weapon. Vigna herself has also stepped up her own personal combat training in order to improve her mastery over the unique tool.
Vigna has never felt she could or would ever quit. Every practice session, every battle all gave her an important sense of improvement, and she knew she wasn't even close to her limits.

Operator Vigna followed every step of Rhodes Island's recruitment protocol, from the submission of her resume, through the in-person interview, evaluation exams, all the way up to ultimately meeting the requirements and winning the approval of the top executives.
As for why she chose Rhodes Island, her answer was simple:
'Life here will be exciting. Very, very exciting, I can feel it!'

Module record
An aged Sarkaz lecturer writes two big words on the blackboard, 'Westward Relocation'
'Terran Calendar 898, after the Sarkaz capital was once again made ruins.'
'Many Sarkaz had lost all faith and courage.'
'They chose to escape; to flee the crumbling mortar of their homeland, and their own fates, for a different land and different rule.'
'From Gaul to Victoria, to present-day Columbia.'
'And so the wandering Sarkaz were without home.'
'Even in Columbia, the Sarkaz spent all their lives in the cracks of the cities and wilds.'
'Not to mention those of their fellow people infected with Oripathy.'
'Under this life of oppression and pain, a Sarkaz named Bill Perley decided he would use music to convey his discontent in life.'
'As long as you're alive, times come when you want nothing more than to shout out loud.'
'This was Bill Perley's saying.'
'Whenever Perley picked up his guitar, crowds would eagerly listen to him sing.'
'His shouts carried through the streets of Columbia's cities, through the wastes, and echoed on over Columbia's great prairies.'
'Leithanien's musicians turned their noses up at him, but nevertheless, this rock 'n' roll singer forced a change in Columbia's pop culture.'
'He even changed the fates of many a Sarkaz.'
At that, the lecturer has written the names of this Sarkaz immortalized in history, and his rock band.
'But what happened to Bill Perley in the end?'
So a student asks to the lecturer.
'He made it big time in Columbia, his records sold as far away as Victoria.'
'But one day, he picked up his guitar and left the city, walking into the wilderness.'
'This giant of a singer told his friends.'
'He was going back home, back to what was Kazdel.'
'And so, nobody ever saw him again.'
Vigna diligently takes notes, narrating this chapter of history, narrating this Sarkaz singer's legendary experiences.
That night, on an underground concert stage...
Vigna tunes her axe.
The story of that legendary singer is twined in part with the history of the Sarkaz, and the history of the guitar, and it still turns about in her head.
She lifts her head to look at her band's drummer, a Sarkaz youth testing drumsticks.
'Fino, ever think you might go back to Kazdel one day?'
'Back to Kazdel? Why?'
Vigna receives a puzzled stare in response.
'Why am I going back to Kazdel now?'
'Always comes a day Sarkaz head home again, right?'
'Hahahahah, you're kidding, Vinny.'
The young Sarkaz stands up.
'I'm a Columbian. My home's right here.'

- Appointed as Assistant
- Hey, hey! I'm watching a rock concert, Doctor! Stop blocking the TV! Just missed the best part thanks to you!
- Talk 1
- You get people who say things like 'fight the power' and 'be yourself.' But for us Sarkaz, that's just life.
- Talk 2
- I like bands... no, I LOVE bands! As a guitarist myself, I know every beat, every chord is important. I gotta practice on and on, day and night. That's the only way to give the audience the ultimate face-melting solo!
- Talk 3
- I'm going exceptionally harsh on you, given I've been so nice to everyone else you say? Well, isn't it only natural? Those who shoulder the responsibility of management like you need more than their self-discipline to do their job, Doctor. I have high standards for myself, and I think it's only right for these standards to be applied to you as well.
- Talk after Promotion 1
- Hmm, this smell... is this the lunchbox Hibiscus brought you? You want me to eat it for you? No way! This... this wasn't in my job description!
- Talk after Promotion 2
- If there's something you want out of life, you gotta work hard for it. Like, I want to become stronger, so I train. I want a sharper weapon, so I customize this one myself. People can judge as they want, but I'll stick to my belief until I get what I want!
- Talk after Trust Increase 1
- Wha?! It's pouring outside? I-I don't... believe it has anything to do with my outdoor concert! Now get aside if you hear me 'cause I'm setting off right NOW! I won't let this sprinkle dampen my passion by one bit!
- Talk after Trust Increase 2
- You got an important mission you want me to handle? Hehee, you can count on me! Let's see here... 'You are to acquire the following products for Rhodes Island during a time-limited mega-sale...?' Th-that's impossible!
- Talk after Trust Increase 3
- Even if the crowd starts booing, the show must go on. You can't quit in the middle of a performance just because you messed something up. Same is true for the Sarkaz and infected. We won't have anything left with us if we just call it quits.
- Idle
- Hey, you can't sleep over here! Ugh... you're too heavy for me to carry...
- Onboard
- Excuse me, is this the office of the Doctor? I've been looking for the place quite a while and it'd be really appreciated if, what? YOU'RE the Doctor? Hmpf, I see. Operator Vigna, reporting in!
- Watching Battle Record
- You gotta be willing to sweat a lot to keep up the battle tempo!
- Promotion 1
- Am I wearing my elite medal right? Great! In that case, it's time to get a picture for this remarkable moment!
- Promotion 2
- Pure strength might not be my forte, but my spear and unparalleled skills shall always leave them with a deep impression!
- Added to Squad
- I'll learn from others' battle techniques.
- Appointed as Squad Leader
- I may be the team captain, but you can all let me know where and how I might improve.
- Depart
- Everyone, prepare to deploy. And please keep in mind that coordinated actions bring victory.
- Begin Operation
- Eyes on me, it's showtime!
- Selecting Operator 1
- Oh!
- Selecting Operator 2
- Mhmm.
- Deployment 1
- Here I go!
- Deployment 2
- Battle stance ready!
- In Battle 1
- Say no more!
- In Battle 2
- My blood is boiling!
- In Battle 3
- Victory shall be mine!
- In Battle 4
- Now! Tear them to shreds!
- 4-star Result
- No matter how tough the bad guys are, I won't stop strumming! Oh… 'fighting' might be the better word here!
- 3-star Result
- You all deserve a commendation from me, oh, but not you, Doctor, not yet! Your job's not finished until I see everyone back home safe and sound.
- Sub 3-star Result
- We're not out of trouble yet! Hold formation!
- Operation Failure
- Ugh... This can't be it. We have to fight harder!
- Assigned to Facility
- Is there a soundproof room here? My fingers are itching for guitar strings so BAD!
- Tap
- Hey! That just gave me a chill!
- Trust Tap
- D-Don't pat me on the head! It might make me shorter!
- Title
- Arknights.
- New Year's blessing
- Happy new year, Doctor! I can see you're hyped for the new year concert tonight just like me! Here's an inside scoop for you: my guitar solo will close the concert at its climax! Hehe! Now that we have more and more operators with talents for music on Rhodes Island, who can say our future concert won't be a hit like that Obsidian Festival in Siesta!
- Greeting
- How can I help?
- Birthday
- Happy birthday, Doctor! A perfect time for everyone to get hyped-up, don't you think? How about we take the meeting room and hold a live concert there! Huh? Still a no, even on your birthday? Aargh… Well, but my song request service is still at your disposal. Oh, but guitar solo only, mind you.
- Anniversary Celebration
- Life at Rhodes Island is like a piece of rock music. Surely there're low drum beats that keep us in suspense here and there, but the theme always catches us with our blood seething and souls resonating. Which kinda reminds me, that it's high time for me to wipe all the craps out with this guitar!... Er, I mean a more creative, musical way, not really wiping the board with it...
