Stories
9"The Art of Facility 3826"
Two identical stars used to decorate the ballerinas' faces. There are even more impressive gadgets like this if one takes a closer look—
Yet it is best not to do so. One should always put safety first, no matter their curiosity.
"Binary Feathers"
Inspired by the shape and beauty of a swan's wings, the headwear, made of a paper-thin alloy, has a special coating that gives the metal a feather-like texture.
The interviewees were eager to demonstrate the headwear's flexibility; the interviewer soon discovered that these feathers are as sharp as a scalpel. These elegant swans won't be needing a prince to save them from danger.
"Right"
A golden jacket made of the same alloy as the interviewees' bodies'.
Given that the interviewees have identical appearances, having one of them wear this jacket serves as the easiest way to distinguish between the pair. The practical accessory has since become her personal icon within the facility.
New Material & Constructivism
These flexible yet razor-sharp dresses are clearly not intended for ballerinas made from flesh and blood. Crafted utilizing custom-made aeronautical materials and technologies from Facility 3826, their beauty is in equal parts delicate and indestructible, whether on stage or in battle—
Not just ballerinas but killing machines too.
Alloy Ballet Shoes
A pair of ballet shoes made of a flexible alloy. The interviewees' professional dance movements remind the viewers of the pain that human ballerinas have to suffer through their practice.
Whether fortunate or not, the interviewees will no longer take damage from dancing ballet—after what happened to them in another world.
Alpha Connector
This key has been designated the "Alpha Connector"; the interviewees maintain that its purpose is highly classified, and as such, its mysteries remain sealed away.
The interviewees' evasive responses make the interviewer wonder at the secrets that this key may unlock ...
The Power of Natural Selection
Ambition is a common characteristic between both scientists and artists, and this was equally true at Facility 3826 during the 1950s.
At the time, scientists worked in concert day and night like an unstoppable engine to develop technologies that would lead to the perfect future they had dreamed of.
The most ambitious ones among them even believed they had mastered the power of natural selection, seeing themselves as the next generation of creators; they wanted to change the world by eradicating the worst instincts of the human race, even to the point of altering humanity itself.
Such a great cause inevitably demanded sacrifice, whether the martyrs were voluntary or not. Those left to mourn their deaths began to ask questions: What is the real purpose of this "perfect society"? Is it built for the well-being of all humans or for the ambitions of a select few?
Before that question could be answered, those ambitions grew beyond control.
On that very day, one of the creators received two dying soldiers in his lab; after 16 hours of surgery, only one survived, though his memories were wiped on his creator's orders.
The other one's brain was then separated into two halves and transplanted into the two most advanced robots with all her memories retained.
No one ever paid attention to these memories, as they had no value to the great cause, not to mention the price that they could pay for their negligence.
Tales of the Invisible Woman
Ekaterina Nechaeva was a formless existence whose consciousness had been trapped in a place called "Limbo" for three years.
During this period, she observed reality through the eyes of two robots that copied her form. She found that almost everyone she met was obsessed with her: they loved her for her appearance, her dancing, and, above all, her unblinking obedience.
Through her robotic doppelgangers' eyes, she witnessed the rift grow between her mother and her supervisor and watched her husband degenerate into a puppet controlled by these schemers. She tried to yell out her real name, yet the only thing that ever emerged was incomprehensible mechanical noises.
Tortured by loneliness, Ekaterina's consciousness was almost torn apart by the two halves of "herself."
To protect her real self, she turned into a teardrop, drifting along the very edge of "Limbo." As she recalled the pink unicorn, souls, and the deep sea in the depths of her memory, she suddenly felt as if she were reborn—
In a different body.
With Kind Respect
<indent=0%>Pandora Wilson:</indent><indent=41%>It's lovely to meet you both, Left and Right. Before we start, you should know that this interview has been approved by the Timekeeper and your supervisor at Facility 3826.
<indent=0%>Pandora Wilson:</indent><indent=41%>According to our agreement, I will only ask questions that you're authorized to answer.
<indent=0%>Left:</indent><indent=41%>Noted. Please proceed with the interview, Ms. Wilson.
<indent=0%>Pandora Wilson:</indent><indent=41%>Of course. To start with, could you briefly explain the mechanics of your thinking module? Is it settled based on your personality, or does it upgrade as your algorithm develops?
<indent=0%>Right:</indent><indent=41%>The former, Ms. Wilson. Though our hobbies—including ballet and martial arts—also play a part in developing it.
<indent=0%>Pandora Wilson:</indent><indent=41%>So, your designer let you pick those hobbies yourselves? Would you call that an act of respect?
<indent=0%>Left:</indent><indent=41%>Affirmative.
<indent=0%>Pandora Wilson:</indent><indent=41%>Giving a robot personality and respecting it as an individual ... I've never seen anything like this in my era.
<indent=0%>Pandora Wilson:</indent><indent=41%>People in this world often believe that robots would be dissatisfied with their lives if they could think for themselves. Is that true?
<indent=0%>Left:</indent><indent=41%>We do express our dissatisfaction sometimes, but that is only when we are given leave to do so.
<indent=0%>Pandora Wilson:</indent><indent=41%>Would you mind showing us what that looks like? Anything will do, as long as you don't like it.
<indent=0%>Right:</indent><indent=41%>I hated the polymer that Maxim released while we were in the Artificial Somnambulism. It nearly fried my chips!
<indent=0%>Pandora Wilson:</indent><indent=41%>... That's it?
<indent=0%>Left:</indent><indent=41%>Affirmative. That is how we express our dissatisfaction.
<indent=0%>Pandora Wilson:</indent><indent=41%>Alright ... I thought you'd yell at me like the other interviewees did. Thanks for being so kind.

Insight passives
4Precognition
PassiveDoes not gain basic incantations or Ultimates. Casts incantations by activating a [Conduit] with Energy instead. Replaces Moxie with Harmonization. The Twins' [Conduit] contains 2 sets of incantations and can switch between Left's and Right's incantations. The Twins have AP +1 and Incantation Draw Limit +2, can equip 2 of their exclusive Psychubes, and possess more types of Energy incantations. When the Twins cast different incantations, they count as different Afflatuses. When attacked by a Stronger Afflatus, the enemy's Stronger Afflatus DMG Multiplier -30%.
Blesna and the Teardrop
Insight IAt the start of the round, if the Twins' Harmonization is full, generates 1 Precast Incantation duplicate of an initial Energy incantation (triggers up to 1 time every 2 rounds). After [Polymeric Ray] reduces an enemy's Afflatus Guard to 0, gains Mineral Energy +1 at the start of the next round (triggers up to 1 time per round). After [Balancé Across the Stars] reduces an enemy's Afflatus Guard to 0, gains Star Energy +1 at the start of the next round (triggers up to 1 time per round).
