Clara

A young girl raised by a robot. Her perceptiveness and tenacity are far beyond her years.

For Clara, Svarog's logical calculations are the laws of the world and are infallible.

That is, until she realizes that the results from the calculations don't always necessarily bring joy to everyone.

The once shy little girl then decides to cast aside her timidness.

"— Log ██/██/████ AF."

"A female child discovered in a landfill to the southeast of Boulder Town."

"Scans show the child has no structural damage or functional issues, but her mental state was relatively unstable. She is resistant to questions about her condition and clearly wanted to avoid the subject."

"I have continued attempting to communicate with her, and successfully obtained some information."

"The child begins to cry, lasting three hours and seven minutes."

"The child's name is Clara. Her background is unknown."

"Conclusion: Take her back to base for observations, and collect further information to generate a follow-up plan to take care of her."

"— Log ██/██/████ AF."

"Clara has grown proficient in the Belobog common tongue, and displays great talent in the field of mechanical engineering — but she still resists communication with other humans. Assessment: This tendency is detrimental to Clara's long-term development in Belobog."

"There is currently an urgent need to develop a suitable socialization and communication program for Clara. Priority: High."

"— Log ████/██/██ AF."

"Clara has successfully made contact with an individual of similar age in Boulder Town. The individual is named Hook, and claims to be the head manager of the local security organization The Moles. No information about this organization has been found in my database."

"Clara's contact with Hook didn't go well at first. She displayed considerable shyness. However, Hook managed to keep the conversation going with extreme enthusiasm and empathy, calling Clara an 'honorary member of The Moles.' After contact, Clara described Hook as 'her first friend.'"

"This matter is of tremendous significance to Clara, and this log has been tagged Important."

"— Log ██/██/████ AF."

"Under Clara's guidance, many vagrants have established settlements around the periphery of the base, and rely on Clara to survive. This behavior does not contravene the orders of Preservation. However, many of them are trying to enter the Overworld via this base's transport passage. The gates of the base must be sealed tightly to avoid accelerating the demise of Belobog."

"Clara has discussed this with me before. She believes locking the gates is an 'incomprehensible' act. I responded with my predicted calculations: By over-committing her resources to the war against the Fragmentum , the Supreme Guardian is accelerating the destruction of the Overworld. Isolation would be the best option for the people of the Underworld — this would buy them more time to try and survive. In the end, Clara finally agreed."

"Most humans behave illogically, but Clara doesn't — she is raised by me and grew up among automatons, and her behavior is more based on pure rationality. Her presence may impact predicted calculations of Belobog's demise, but more observations are required."

"— Log ██/██/████ AF."

"Ever since I was created, I've been given the command to preserve the Underworld — Even if I can only preserve it for a millisecond longer than the Overworld, I will still carry out these orders. To borrow a phrase from traditional Belobog culture, perhaps it could be put like this: 'I am faithful without hesitation to the mission I've been given.' Therefore, I see my calculations as immutable laws — nobody and nothing can ever shake me, including any Outsiders."

"However, I found this possible permutation among the calculation results."

"In this calculation, Clara completely changed Belobog. I once said of her, 'her behavior is more based on pure rationality.' If we take this probable result as a base and revisit my conclusion, I cannot view it as an error — but I admit that it is biased."

"With the results of this calculation, Clara has also proved one thing: Having true rationality is not the key to changing the status quo, but rather that her sincere and passionate emotion overturned all calculations and completely reversed Belobog's doomed fate. However, unless new external forces intervene, the probability of this is less than 0.25272%, which places it in the low probability category. Further research on these calculations are paused."

"Today, the probability of survival in the Underworld has not seen a significant upward trend over the last five cycles. This means that implementation of this may be suspended, but I will still monitor all relevant risk factors."

"During this cycle, I will focus on finding Clara's family. Despite Clara insisting that she has already found her real family, I will keep collecting any and all information to track down Clara's real family as soon as I can."
