Self-Portrait 1 自我认知1

(Thunk—)（砰——）

As I pass by Vector's room, I hear the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.（我经过维克托的休息室，听见里面传来重物落地的响声。）

CommanderVector? Are you alright?……维克托？你还好吗？

VectorHardly, but that's par for the course, so there's no need to worry, Commander.我好不了，不过这是常态，长官不用在意。

VectorBy the way, why are you standing at the door to my room, Commander?对了，长官，您怎么会在门口？

CommanderI was just passing by and decided to check in on you.只是路过看看。

CommanderAre you busy with something, Vector? Do you need help?维克托，你在忙什么？需要帮忙吗？

VectorI'm cleaning my room out... Sorry, there's no empty space for your feet on the ground, Commander. I'll bring a chair out and you can sit by the door.大扫除……抱歉，房间里没有能下脚的地方，我给您搬把椅子来，委屈您先坐在门边了。

CommanderWhat brought this on?怎么会突然想起大扫除？

VectorCommander, do you see this cabinet above me? Does it not look like a "lethal bludgeon"?长官，您看我头顶这个柜子，它长得像不像“杀伤性钝器”？

(The cabinet in question is stuffed full of heavy books, but it doesn't seem abnormal.)（维克托头顶的柜子里塞满了沉重的书册，但看起来并没有其他的异常。）

CommanderWhat do you mean?什么意思？

VectorIt seems to me that this cabinet is may give way during the next enemy attack and the falling contents will squash my head like a ripe melon, ending the useless life of this frame... Surely my frame would rather not pick a neural cloud like mine to use it, if it had the luxury to choose.我觉得这个柜子会在下次敌袭中散架，掉落的柜子碎片正好可以把我的脑袋砸开花，结束这具素体没用的一生……要是素体有选择权，应该也不会选择我这样的心智去使用她吧。

CommanderWell, putting heavy objects in high places does seem a little dangerous. Is that why you were planning on taking those books down?高处放重物是有点危险，所以维克托想把那些书拿下来？

(The floor is piled high with books, but there are even more inside the overhead cabinet.)（地面上堆放着不少的书册，头顶的柜子里还有更多。）

VectorThey aren't all books. There are many collections of photographs and art pieces too.不全是书，还有很多摄影和绘画作品集。

Vector...No, it doesn't matter what they are; what's important is eliminating the risk factor before another enemy attack.……不，是什么都不重要，总之要赶在下次敌袭前解决这个风险。

CommanderAre those picture albums over here? May I take a look at them?地上这些也是作品集？我可以看看吗？

VectorYes, I modeled for them all in the past. They're nothing worth mentioning; just think of them as my previous body of work.嗯，全都是以我为模特的，虽然不怎么样，也算是之前的工作成果。

VectorIf you don't mind having your eyes soiled by the contents, please go ahead.如果长官不介意这些作品集里的我污染您的眼睛，您随意就好。

CommanderNow I'm kind of curious about what's inside them.说得我有点好奇到底是拍成什么样了……

(I randomly open an album.)（我随意翻开一本摄影集。）

(I see a picture of Vector in a bulky mascot outfit. The theme of this particular shoot seems to be having her pose as a fluffy sunflower.)（照片上的维克托穿着厚重的玩偶服，整套摄影主题似乎是假扮毛绒太阳花。）

Commander...Let's look at the next one.……我看看下一本。

(In this collection of pictures, Vector is standing under neon lights with a vacant look in her eyes. The rest of the pictures have her standing or sitting, all with the same blank expression on her face.)（这一次是维克托站在霓虹灯下，眼神放空。同系列的照片里，维克托或坐或站，面无表情。）

CommanderWhat were you thinking during this photo shoot?这种时候，维克托在想什么呢？

VectorI wasn't thinking of anything. Models are typically not ordered to "think". All I had to do was stay still for an extended period of time.什么也不想。给模特的命令通常并不包含“思考”，只要长时间地静止就行。

VectorIn truth, I could have smiled at the client's request. But they said something about losing inspiration when I smiled... I didn't get it, but it didn't matter.其实，要是甲方有需求，面部表情是可以调整成微笑的。只是他们经常说什么，我笑起来就没灵感了……虽然听不懂，但也无所谓。

CommanderSo you had to stay still for a long time... Didn't you get bored, Vector?长时间不动……维克托不会无聊吗？

VectorA Doll like me doesn't have complex emotional programming...像我这样的人形，应该没有那么复杂的情绪设定……

VectorAs for you, Commander, surely you must be tired of constantly looking at pictures of me, aren't you? I'm sorry for wasting your time with such incomprehensible things.倒是长官您，一直都在看关于我的东西，会无聊吧？对不起，用这种意味不明的东西浪费了您的时间，真的不好意思。

CommanderYou don't need to apologize, Vector. Let's look at another album.维克托不用道歉的，我们再换一本吧。

CommanderOh, this one looks pretty good. What role are you playing here, a tunnel worker?哦，这个看起来还行。这是在扮演什么？隧道工人吗？

VectorAh, that was a series of promotion pamphlets for a construction company. I was lifting... I forgot how much, but it seemed manageable.嗯，那是建筑承包商拍的宣传册。重量……记不清了，但是感觉还行。

CommanderAnd... just how long were you lifting that weight?你……举了多久？

VectorAbout 16 hours. Frankly speaking, being able to collect a paycheck by standing and sitting as ordered without having to say a word is quite a bargain.大约16小时。只是根据指令坐着或者站着不动不说话就能有收入，真是理想的工作啊。

CommanderSo your ideal job is being a model, Vector?维克托的理想职业是模特吗？

VectorNo... But do Dolls even need ideals? At the very least, a Doll like me doesn't have ideals.不……人形还需要理想吗？至少，像我这样的人形并没有什么理想。

VectorI mean, this was the only kind of work I COULD do. It's not like I didn't try other things after leaving Griffin... (sigh).我是只能干这个，离开格里芬之后，我也不是没有试过其他的工作……唉……

CommanderThings didn't go well?不顺利吗？

VectorI tried being a bodyguard in the Green Zone and being a waitress.我尝试过在绿区做保镖，还有服务生。

VectorBut I was bad at talking, so all I could do was try to speak as little as possible. Still, I ended up offending all my clients before long and I even caused Ruchey, who was working with me, to lose her job too. In the end, there weren't any jobs willing to take us on, apart from—我不会说话，只能尽量少开口，但还是做不了多久就得罪客户，连累乌琪陪我一起失业。到最后根本没有这类工作接受我们两个了，刚好有人——

(Vector points to the "sunflower" album.)（维克托指了指我翻开的那本“太阳花”相册。）

VectorSomeone needed a "sunflower" who could put up with being photographed in scorching conditions for long periods of time. My interview went very well and so did the job, and that was the beginning of my modeling career.有人需要一批能接受长时间高温暴晒拍摄的“太阳花”，我的面试很顺利，工作也很顺利，就开始作为模特工作了。

CommanderI see... How about this one? Er, where are you, Vector? I don't see any Dolls in this album...原来如此……这本呢？咦？维克托，你在哪里？这本册子里都没有人形……

VectorOh, the artist was the model. Some of them have pretty abstract imaginations, so you need to think carefully about it, Commander.哦，那是给画家当模特。有些画家风格比较抽象，长官，您需要细品。

VectorThose humans said my neural cloud totally blended into those lines and swatches of color. Can you tell?那些人类说，我的心智全部融入那堆色块和线条里了，您看出来了吗？

Commander...Er...……呃。

Vector(Sigh) Never mind, I get it.……唉，我懂了。

(Vector stacks up all the heavy albums and begins tying them up into a bundle.)（维克托将这些沉重的书册堆叠到一起，开始用扎带打包。）

CommanderSo, where are you going to put them after taking them down from the cabinet?从柜子里取下来之后，接下来要放到哪里呢？

VectorI'll just dump them in the trash.垃圾站里吧。

VectorThey're just wastes of paper, so I should have thrown them away earlier, but I was busy with assignments.我早就应该处理掉这些纯属浪费资源的废纸，之前忙着委托，倒是忘了。

CommanderWhat? You're dumping them? What a waste.啊？要扔掉吗？有点可惜。

CommanderMost of these pictures are pretty or interesting. Surely they count as a unique record of your experiences, right?大部分还是挺漂亮或者有趣的，这是独属于维克托的时间和经历吧？

VectorHmm... I don't get it. A record of my experiences? What's the point of that?嗯……理解不了。时间和经历？有什么意义吗？

CommanderJust keep it around. You won't be able to get it back once it's gone.留着吧，要是销毁了就再也拿不回来了。

CommanderWhy don't I put them under the bed for now? I'll put some bracing in for the overhead cabinet later when I have time.要不然先放在床底？至于头顶的柜子，有机会再做几个加固支撑结构。

VectorI see. Actually, you have a point; they might have some intelligence value in the future and not having these originals around might be troublesome.我明白了。确实，要是以后还有些情报上的用途，这些原件没有了会比较麻烦。

VectorWell done, Commander. To think even a Doll like me could benefit from your guidance... Thank you very much.真不愧是长官啊，我这样的人形也能得到您的指点……谢谢您，长官。

Self-Portrait 2 自我认知2

CommanderHm? Is there someone on the beanbag chair at this time of night?嗯？这么晚了，怎么懒人沙发上还有人？

Vector(Sigh) This is bad... I'll have to say farewell to the world at this rate...唉……这样下去不妙啊……马上就要跟这个世界说永别了吧……

(I approach the beanbag and see Vector burrowed in there, her eyes open but motionless.)（我走近懒人沙发，看见维克托陷在沙发里，睁着眼一动不动。）

CommanderVector?维克托？

VectorOh, it's you, Commander. Have a seat... No, I still don't wanna get up. Here, I'll scooch over, and you can lie down beside me...是长官啊，您请坐……也不对，我还不想起来。给您让一半，您也躺下吧……

VectorLetting my mind wander while lying down in a beanbag that's as fluffy as a cloud is the best kind of rest there is. Even this ice-cold frame of mine feels warmer when I do it.躺在云朵一样的沙发上放空神游，真是最棒的休憩，感觉冰冷的素体都温暖了一两度呢。

(Vector shifts a little and her beanbag tilts to one side as a result, making her perch look especially precarious.)（维克托慢慢地挪动了少许，她所在的懒人沙发因为偏移的重心而略微倾斜，看上去岌岌可危。）

CommanderIt's alright... You seem down in the dumps. Did something happen?不用了……你看起来没什么精神，发生什么了？

VectorNothing's happened so far, Commander. Thank you for asking.目前为止还什么也没发生，长官，谢谢您的关心。

VectorDon't worry, I feel like I always am. There are people like this among humans, right? The kind for whom "being listless is normal".别担心，我的状态和平时一样。在人类中也有那样的人吧？那种“没有精神才是正常状态”的人。

CommanderWere you muttering to yourself just now, Vector? Were you thinking about something?维克托刚才似乎在自言自语？在考虑什么吗？

VectorHm... I had a feeling that my next assignment would be the last one for this frame of mine, so I was going to leave the rest to you, Commander.嗯……我的预感告诉我下一个委托就是这具素体的最后一个委托了，之后的事就拜托长官您了。

VectorConsidering how useless I am as a Doll... (Sigh) You can just abandon me if you think I'm a waste of a frame. Just redownload the neural cloud of one of my teammates instead...像我这种没用的人形……唉，要是您觉得我不配浪费素体的话，不用管我也挺好的，只下载队友的心智就好……

CommanderCould you be more specific? Why do you feel this way?再说具体一点呢？你为什么会这么觉得？

VectorI'm not trying to brag here, Commander, but my instincts are, as they say, "always accurate when it comes to bad news".不是我自吹，长官，我的直觉就是俗话说的“好的不灵坏的灵”。

VectorAll my bad feelings always come true, the worst always comes to pass, nothing happens when I say the sky will be clear, but the moment I talk about a storm, it rolls in right away...不好的预感总是会成真，最糟糕的局面一定会出现，我说天会放晴是没有用的，但我说风暴要来了就真的会来……

(Vector's face grows stern and her form seems to vanish into shadows. She seems even gloomier than before.)（维克托满脸严肃，整个人沉浸在她的阴影之中，似乎比刚才更丧气了。）

CommanderUh, you don't have any weather forecasting plugins installed, do you?不是，你没有搭载什么气象预报插件吧？

VectorNo, it's just bad luck... Commander, would you be willing to send me off before my next assignment?没有哦，这是纯粹的晦气吧……长官，下一次委托出发前，您愿意来送送我吗？

VectorIt's going to be my last time, after all, and I want to see you before I go. I'll carry that final memory with me as I leave, and nothing would make me happier than to see your face in my base layer when my frame damage level reaches 99%...毕竟是最后一次委托了，我的心愿是离开之前能看您一眼，我会带着这份最后一面的记忆走的。素体损坏程度99%的时候，心智底层如果能浮现出长官的脸，那真是再好不过了。

CommanderVector, it's not so...维克托，倒也不至于……

VectorCommander, it seems you don't fully comprehend the power of my ability to jinx things.长官，您还没有完全了解我这乌鸦嘴的威力。

VectorMy guess is the entire team will end up being scrapped during the assignment, laid out in a neat row in some junkyard out there. In a few years' time, you'll probably find my limbs or eyes on sale in some second-hand parts store.这次委托中途我们应该就会全员报废，一家人整整齐齐地躺在哪个废墟里。过上几年您会在暗街的零件铺子里看见我的眼睛或是手脚。

CommanderHang on, Vector.维克托，你先等等。

CommanderLet's go through all of this again and figure out why you're getting that bad feeling. What do you know about your next assignment?我们从头来梳理一下，你那不妙预感出现的原因是什么。关于下一个委托，你现在都知道些什么？

VectorI don't know anything about it, and because I don't know anything about it, that makes it more likely that I'll be written off...我不知道啊，就是因为什么都不知道，所以更容易报废了……

VectorIt seems the client is trying to trick us, or trying to hide something from us, at least. The information he sent over is completely unreliable too. I guess you could say we're caught between a rock and a hard place? We can't even trust the people who are supposed to be on our side, which is probably the worst possible scenario.客户似乎在欺骗我们，至少也是有所隐瞒，对方发来的资料也就不再可信。该说是“腹背受敌”吗？这可是连友方都无法信任的最糟糕处境。

CommanderSo the client's hiding something, hm... I didn't notice that. Why do you think that's the case, Vector?客户有所隐瞒吗……我没注意，维克托为什么会这样判断呢？

VectorWell, when we were meeting with the client earlier today, I just stood off to the side and stared at him because I'm not good at talking.白天的时候，大家和客户开会了吧。我不擅长说话，就只是在一边瞪大眼睛看。

VectorThe client showed no interest in the details of the team allocation that we submitted. He didn't look at our documentation and even glared at our gear with disdain, even though we surpassed the mission requirements that he set for us.对方对我们小队提交的队伍配置明细毫无兴趣，完全没有翻动资料的意思，还很嫌弃地打量我们的日常装备。明明根据他们发来的任务资料，小队的装备配置是远超合格线的。

VectorAlso, there was one more thing which really bothered me...除此之外，还有一件事我很在意……

CommanderWhat was it?什么？

VectorHe was clearly trying to hint at something throughout the briefing. I counted him doing it seven times. He asked us about the details of a certain elite S.F. unit, but it wasn't covered in our mission briefing.七次，对方一共旁敲侧击了七次，询问我们某种铁血精英机型的细节，但是，那个型号根本不在我们的任务资料中。

VectorAlthough S.F. went defunct before us, it seems like their vengeful curse still haunts this land... At times, I feel like we're encountering them more often than not.虽然铁血已经先我一步去了，但他们的怨气好像遍布了整片大地，是错觉吗……有时候会觉得遭遇的概率反而提升了不少。

VectorIn any case... If the unit he was asking about makes up the majority of the units we'll be facing, we'll be taking a huge risk trying to handle them with our standard equipment. We'd have to request a tailored upgrade to deal with them...总之……如果那个机型才是敌方的主力型号，单凭小队的日常装备应对，风险会很高，需要申请一次对策性升级……

CommanderI see, so this isn't just pessimism, but because you picked up on something that felt off, which was what pinged your instincts.所以，维克托并不是因为主观感受，而是发现了违和的细节，预感才会发出警报的。

VectorI guess... You're right, Commander. Is there a reason why our client didn't just tell us to learn more about that enemy model?好像……是吧。长官，对方为什么不直接告诉我们要了解那个机型的原因？

VectorPersonally, I think there's something fishy with this assignment, but they're a big client, and I'd probably offend him if I carelessly brought it up. It would also be bad for your reputation and that of the team.我觉得这个委托有问题，但对方毕竟是大客户，要是草率地乱说一通得罪客户，对长官和小队的声誉也不好吧。

CommanderSo how did you handle this, Vector?维克托是怎么处理的来着？

VectorI... I just stalled for time and found a reason to avoid signing the contract to finalize things. Let me think about how to handle this... (groan)我……只是拖延了时间，找了借口避开了合约签订。让我再想想该怎么办吧，唉……

VectorI don't know what I should say to convince everyone to be careful or just outright refuse the assignment. I'm just bad at things like that, and it's just a gut feeling. It's not like anything's happened yet...我不知道该怎么说服大家谨慎应对或者干脆拒绝，我实在不擅长这些，预感只是预感，现在又没发生……

CommanderWell, if you want to make others believe you, you'll need to believe in yourself first. Didn't you say you were very confident in your "bad feelings", Vector? They all came true in the past, didn't they?要让他人相信，首先自己也得相信自己的判断。维克托不是对“坏的预感会应验”很有自信吗？过去你的预感也实现过很多次吧？

VectorWell, they did, but as for being confident in them... That's a really unfamiliar word to me. I don't know if I can do it.有是有，不过“自信”……真是陌生的词汇，我不知道能不能做到。

(As I see Vector hesitate, I reach out and pat her head in encouragement.)（看着犹豫不决的维克托，我鼓励地摸了摸她的头。）

CommanderLook, Vector, you've made a lot of good decisions in the past. The way I see it, those bad feelings of yours aren't "bad luck" or anything, more like a gift from your "cautious personality".维克托，之前那些判断，你都做得很好。在我看来，你的坏预感会应验并不是什么“晦气”，反而更像是“谨慎的个性”带给维克托的礼物。

VectorA gift... huh?礼物……吗？

CommanderYou've always had a gift for finding loopholes like this. I'm pretty sure I or someone else wouldn't have noticed it, but you did. Isn't that good? I'm sure everyone will reconsider the assignment if you can find more proof to back it up.维克托在寻找漏洞这一块特别有天赋，像是我或者其他人都没注意到的潜在风险，只有维克托注意到了，不是很厉害吗？如果能找到更多的证据，大家也都会重新考虑这个委托吧。

VectorSo I need to find more proof, huh... I understand.找到更多证据……我明白了。

VectorCommander, I'm going to look further into the client. Perhaps I might be able to find something that will let us up the risk level of this assignment.长官，我再去深挖点客户资料，或许能再找到点什么素材，再提升一下对方的风险评级。

(Now that she has a direction, Vector finally rises from the beanbag.)（有了方向的维克托终于从懒人沙发中站起来。）

VectorThank you, Commander.谢谢您，长官。

Self-Portrait 3 自我认知3

VectorCommander, are you free? I'd like to talk.长官，您有时间聊聊吗？

CommanderPlease come in. Well, this is rare, you seem to be in good spirits.请进。你看着精神不错，真难得啊。

CommanderDid you just come back today? I take it the assignment went well? Its difficulty rating was pretty high.是今天才回来吧？委托进行得很顺利吗？这次的委托，难度评级可不低。

VectorIt was alright. We all came back in one piece, more or less.还算可以，大家都比较完整地回来了。

VectorThere were some ups and downs, but all the dangers we encountered were well within our range of expectations. Because I kept thinking of the worst-case scenario, the squad always ended up discussing contingencies in case things like that came up, so when they actually happened, all we had to do was implement our preparations...过程是有些波折，但所有的危机都在我的预判之中。因为每次都先想到了最差的状况，小队的大家会事先讨论应对那种状况的预案，等到问题真的发生，应对的准备也做好了……

CommanderLooks like you've got it all figured out, Vector. So, why did you come by today?维克托越来越像样了，这次过来是有什么事呢？

VectorI wanted you to teach me how to speak with others.想请教您社交的技巧。

VectorOur missions recently have gone very well and our squad's debts have been significantly reduced, so Ruchey wanted to host a little party for our squad so everyone could relax a little...最近任务顺利，我们小队的债务减少了很多，乌琪想要开个队内的小庆祝会，大家放松一下……

CommanderWait, debts?债务？

VectorWhen Klukai picked up the four of us, our frames were little more than scrap metal. She paid to replace our frames, but as a result, we racked up a lot of debt...先前我们小队的四人被可露凯捡走的时候，素体都变成垃圾了。更换素体的资金还是可露凯帮我们预支的，因为这个，欠下了一大笔债务……

VectorEven I get nervous when the payment dates roll around. Life is hard...还债的日子，就算是我，也会觉得有些紧迫，日子不好过啊。

(Vector looks at me with a thoughtful expression on her face. Under her gaze, the Elmo's financial situation suddenly seems much clearer.)（维克托若有所思地看着我，在她的注视下，我隐约感觉艾莫号的账务都变得透明了起来。）

CommanderI see... Then you should go relax and have fun, Vector.原来如此……那维克托就好好放松一下吧。

VectorThe thing is, I rarely take part in such celebrations, and I'm worried that I'll say the wrong thing. If I wind up jinxing everyone, it'll go from a party to a disaster... Speaking of which, all I'm going to do at a party is make things gloomy, right?可是，我很少参加这种庆祝活动，有点担心说错什么。万一又乌鸦嘴成真，庆祝会就只能变成反思会了吧……说到底，喜庆的场合让我混进去了，也只会笼上阴霾吧？

VectorSay, Commander, what should I be doing at a party, anyway?唉，长官，在庆祝会上我应该做点什么呢？

CommanderLooks like this celebration is stressing you out. Personally, I think you should just be yourself. You don't need to wind yourself up so tight all the time; relax and respond in a way that comes naturally.维克托对喜庆的场合有压力啊。我觉得维克托就是维克托，不用时时刻刻都紧绷克制，按照自己的个性去应对就好。

VectorBe myself, huh... But that means saying things that make people mad.按照自己的个性……我会说出让人生气的话吧。

VectorSomething like this happened before. I once told a Doll psychologist about how Dolls didn't have psychological traits the way humans did and that his field of study essentially didn't exist, which sparked an argument that drew in the entire party, messed up the job, and got Ruchey in trouble too...以前就有过类似的情景，我在聚会中对人形心理学者说人形没有人类那种心理活动，他研究的学科根本不存在这种话，搞砸了整个沙龙，丢掉了工作，连累了乌琪……

CommanderThose people were strangers, though. Your friends understand you, don't they? Surely they wouldn't give you a hard time for something like that, right?那些人是无关者，维克托现在的同伴都了解你的性格特点，不会因为这样的事怪责你吧？

VectorWell, they might not scold me, but it would still hurt them. I don't want to end up ruining a happy occasion with my negativity.即使没有责怪，也会造成伤害，我不希望她们的快乐里混入不和谐的杂质。

VectorMaybe I should find a reason to not go. A defective Doll like me should just power off outside of work.或许我应该找个理由缺席，像我这种有致命缺陷的人形，工作结束就直接关机对大家才是最好的。

VectorHere might be a good place... care to do the honors, Commander?要不这里……指挥官按一下？

(Saying so, Vector lifts her hair, exposing the delicate white flesh of the nape of her neck to me, as well as her power button.)（维克托说着，撩起头发——她白皙纤细的后颈完全暴露在眼前，当然也包括着启动开关。）

CommanderDefective? Hardly. Have you always considered your personality to be a defect?致命的缺陷？犯不上。维克托难道一直觉得自己的个性属于缺陷吗？

VectorIs it not? Nobody would want to spend time with something as negative as me unless they had to...不然呢，谁会愿意跟我这种晦气的东西待在一个空间里……

CommanderI happen to disagree on that. Pessimism and caution are just personality traits, not necessarily flaws, and they can be helpful at times.我不这么认为。悲观和谨慎只是一种性格特征，并不代表缺点，有时候也可能带来好事吧。

CommanderFor instance, that difficult assignment of yours just now; it only went as well as it did because your negativity made you consider hidden risks and helped you prepare for them beforehand.比如这一次高难度委托，多亏了维克托的“乌鸦嘴”及时发现风险，过程才这么顺利。

Vector...So it... actually helped? I did? Someone like me actually...?……带来……好事？我吗？我这样的……？

(Vector's eyes widen and she looks at me incredulously.)（维克托微微瞪大的眼睛，不可置信地看着我。）

CommanderYes, Vector. I think that you have a knack for avoiding misfortune and bringing good luck. It just shows itself in a unique way.是啊，我觉得，维克托拥有规避不幸，带来好运的特技。只是表现形式个性了一些。

CommanderI'm pretty sure that your teammates view you as a colleague in paying off their debts. They'd probably be sad if you didn't show up.对维克托的队友来说，维克托也是一起努力还债的战友，要是你缺席庆祝，她们也会寂寞吧。

VectorSo... Everyone wants me to be there? Even if I'd ruin the mood?大家……希望我参加吗？即便我会破坏气氛？

CommanderI don't know about the others, but that's how I think, at least. Vector, you don't need to walk on eggshells around me. Just be yourself, and if you say something unpleasant, that's fine too. Who knows, it might be a good thing.我不知道其他人的想法，只是至少我是这样想的。维克托，在我面前可以不用那么小心，做你自己就好，就算说出不中听的话也没关系，说不定那会是好事。

VectorCommander... I, I don't know what to say... Nobody's ever told me anything like this before...长官……我，我不知道说什么好了……第一次有人对我说这样的话……

(The cloud hanging over Vector has vanished at some point, and although this revelation has shaken her, she seems to be receptive to what I have to say.)（围绕在维克托身边的阴云不知道什么时候散去了，动摇过后，她似乎开始接受我的劝说。）

VectorI believe you, Commander. Since you say so, perhaps I should embrace my pessimism... Hopefully it won't be as bad as I imagine.我相信长官。既然长官都这么说了，或许接受这个悲观的自我……也没有我想象的那么糟糕，但愿如此。

VectorIn any case, I'll be going to the party.总之，庆祝会，我会参加的。

CommanderMade up your mind at last? That's good to hear.终于作出决定了吗？真不错啊。

Vector...Is it really okay for me to be fully honest with you when it's just the two of us?……长官，只有我们的时候，我真的可以向您敞开全部的自我吗？

VectorI've never tried doing anything like that before, and I'm afraid it'll bring you bad luck or frighten you...我从来没有尝试过这样做，或许我真的很可怕，会带来灾难，会吓到您……

CommanderIt's alright. You can't possibly be more scary than ELIDs. I have faith in you.没关系，再吓人也比那些披着人皮的生骸要好。我相信维克托。

VectorThen I'll promise you something.那就这样约定好了。

VectorYour Vector will be completely honest with you, even when it might get you down. You're the only one who'll receive this treatment... So please be prepared for it.长官，维克托会对您完全坦诚，就算是负能量也不会对您客气。有此待遇的人，您是唯一一个……请您做好心理准备吧。

Self-Portrait 4 自我认知4

(The Elmo is attacked by Varjagers while in transit, and the enemy breaches the ops room.)（行进中的艾莫号遭到了瓦良格帮的突袭，敌人入侵了指挥室。）

(After some confusion, the first Doll to arrive and fight off the intruders is Vector.)（一阵混乱后，第一个赶到并击退敌人的是维克托。）

VectorCommander, are you hurt? Do you feel alright?长官，您有没有受伤？感觉还好吗？

CommanderI'm fine. Thank you, Vector. You came before they could do anything.我没事。多亏了维克托，你来得很及时，他们还没来得及做什么。

VectorI was already headed to the ops room to find you. I was at the door by the time the incursion alarm went off.我本来正要来指挥室找您，警报响起的时候，我已经快到门口了。

(Vector and I clean up the ops room, and after tidying up the messy items, we finally get a chance to sit down and talk.)（维克托和我一起收拾了指挥室的残局，所有被打乱的物件恢复如初后，我们终于能坐下来说话。）

CommanderOh yes, Vector, was there something you wanted to see me about?对了，维克托，你要找我做什么？

VectorWell, I promised to be completely honest with you, Commander, so I decided to share my "Black History" with you. This is it, the proof of my most frightening and... most distasteful side.因为之前跟长官约定过，要对您完全坦诚，所以我决定把我的“黑历史”交给您过目，那是记录着我的最恐怖和丑陋的一面的……证据。

CommanderIs it that bad?这么严重吗？是什么？

(Vector takes a picture out of her pocket. It shows an abstract piece of art, a complicated mass of colors and lines divided by a slash of white light.)（维克托从口袋里拿出一张相片。相片上是一副色彩和线条繁复、中间被一条白色光线割裂开的抽象画作。）

VectorThis painting was inside my cabinet all this while, and I only just found it again while cleaning it out. I modeled for that painting, and this serves as the proof.这副画作一直保存在我的柜子里，上次整理高柜的时候，我才重新翻到它。这幅画以我为模特，它的内容就是证据。

CommanderI don't see you anywhere in it, Vector... What is the meaning of this art piece?里面看不见维克托啊，这幅画……是什么意思？

VectorI looked up several artwork analyses written by humans in various databases. It seems there's no standard answer for this question.我在资料库中检索过人类对画作的解读案例，似乎这个问题没有标准答案。

VectorIf I had to answer... It is a swirling mass of revolting colors, like a flashbang thrown indiscriminately into a chaotic brawl. What I'm trying to say is that I upset and mess up any situation I take part in. My existence ruins all assignments and gets my teammates killed... That's the truth of Vector, the depressing, unlucky Doll.要是让我来说……这是恶心的杂色染缸中的搅拌棍，大乱斗中不分敌我的闪光弹。我的意思是说，有我参与的事都会被搅坏，我的存在会毁掉所有的订单，还会害死队友……真实的维克托就是这么晦气的人形。

Commander...Why would you say that? For that matter, why did you model for something as abstract as this, anyway?……为什么这么说？话说起来，担任这种抽象画的模特，是要做点什么？

VectorThe artist wanted to illustrate the soul of a Doll, but I felt that there was no such thing. She could not find the "soul" she wanted to see, so she tried to bring it forth through painting.这幅画的画家想要画出人形的灵魂，我不认为人形有这样的东西。她始终没有办法从我身上得到她想看见的灵魂，那女人就想出了一些特殊手段，试图唤醒她所谓的灵魂。

VectorAt her order, I entered a capsule filled with corrosive fluid. After the hatch closed, the acid decomposed my synthetic skin and my neural cloud uplink was cut off... so I couldn't back up my neural cloud.我根据她的指令进入了一个腐蚀性液体舱，舱门封闭后，腐蚀性液体开始溶解我的仿生皮肤，同时上传心智的通讯也被完全中断……没有备份。

CommanderVector, how could you do something so dangerous? You could have died!太危险了。维克托，你会真正地消失的。

VectorI suppose I was nearly gone back then... The feeling was very unpleasant, and I felt a lot of neural strain due to the sheer volume of error reports. Still, I was ordered to do so, and fulfilling orders is a Doll's purpose.那个时候，已经快要消失了吧……那种感觉确实很不舒服，我当时觉得那只是因为报错信息太多，心智负载有点大。既然人类的委托指令要求我这么做，遵守指令才是人形的使命。

VectorBut then, Ruchey suddenly barged in and started banging on the capsule door to try and save me. As a result, the artist attacked her and her frame was damaged...可是，乌琪突然闯进工作场地，拍着舱门拼命要救我，还被画家攻击，素体受损……

CommanderI can't believe an artist was able to hurt PP-90—I mean, Ruchey.一个画家居然能伤到PP-90——我是说乌琪。

VectorBack then, we lived in a highly-regulated satellite city and our fire control cores had been removed by the order of the local police branch. In that state, we were no different from civilian Dolls... Well, when you factor in our job skills, or lack thereof, perhaps even civilian Dolls were better off than us.当时我们居住的卫星城安全等级很高，火控核心被治安管理部门勒令摘掉了。那样的我们和民用人形无异……如果算上生活能力的话，可能还不如民用人形吧……

CommanderSo how did you get out of that?那你们是怎么脱困的？

VectorRuchey... she risked herself so I could keep functioning, so I could stay "alive". I was trapped inside the capsule and had to watch as the artist struck Ruchey.乌琪……她想让我“活着”，为了我能继续运行，她完全赌上了自身。我被限制在舱内，只能看着乌琪被那疯子画家攻击。

VectorI didn't care what happened to me, but under the circumstances, I had no choice but to break out of the capsule to protect Ruchey...我是怎么样都无所谓，但那种情况下，只有打破腐蚀舱才能保住乌琪……

CommanderSo you chose to "live" in order to protect your friend...维克托是为了保护朋友才选择“活下去”啊……

Vector(Sigh) In the end, I lashed out against that artist and we ran away, leaving that mess behind us.唉……我最后也攻击了那个画家，扔下那个烂摊子就走了。

VectorThat piece was supposed to be that artist's final work, her magnum opus. She'd worked on it for a long time, and I, as a hired Doll, had wrecked her atelier and ruined everything, in addition to not complying with the requirement for a model to "stay still and not do anything"... In short, I messed everything up.按照计划，这幅画是那个画家的收官之作，她已经为它忙了很久，而我作为她雇佣的人形毁了她的工作室，打乱了全部的安排，也没有达成“听话待着不动”的模特工作要求……总之，我把一切都搞砸了。

VectorIn that woman's eyes, I was probably a chaotic, unclean eyesore that brought ruin with her... and she painted this as a monument to all my sins.在那女人的眼里，我大概就是个混沌刺眼的、带来不幸的脏东西吧……画出这种画也是为了记录我所有的恶行恶状。

CommanderLook on the bright side, at least you and Ruchey are fine.想开点，至少你和乌琪平安无事。

VectorOh yes. In the end, she still paid our fee. If not for that, I'd probably have been dumped into the junkyard as a corroded skeleton, to say nothing of getting my fire control core back.是啊，那女人最后还结清了我们的工钱，要不是那笔进账，我应该会拖着那具被腐蚀的素体进垃圾场，更不要说把火控核心装回来了。

VectorHumans really are strange... in the end, she even invited us to an art exhibition, and that piece had the most viewers of them all.人类真是奇怪啊……后来我们甚至收到了她的画展邀请，围观的人最多的那幅画就是这个。

CommanderHm... Well, after hearing what you said, I think you may have misunderstood something. You didn't mess up; in fact, you really completed your modeling assignment, which was why you were paid.嗯……听你这么说，我倒觉得你可能是误会了。你没有搞砸，这个模特委托确实完成了，当然也就收到了报酬。

VectorIs that so?是这样吗？

CommanderAlso... I think the meaning of that piece isn't what you think it is.而且，关于那幅画的解读……说不定，也不是你想的那样。

CommanderIn my eyes, you're someone who cherishes her friends, and what you consider "jinxing" others comes from a place of concern for their safety. Also, it's because of your negativity that everyone's been able to weather the storms that have come your way and survive until now.我眼中的维克托很珍惜同伴，你的“乌鸦嘴”出发点也是担心大家的安全。而且，正是因为维克托的消极，小队的大家才能未雨绸缪、平安存活到现在。

VectorCommander... are you praising me? Do I deserve your praise?长官……是在夸奖我吗？我也配得到您的夸奖吗？

CommanderYes, you do. You're a very capable Doll, Vector, and you're an excellent squad leader.是的，维克托是很能干的人形，正在成为不错的队长。

VectorCommander...长官……

(Vector seems to be caught off guard by this sudden outburst of kindness.)（维克托似乎受宠若惊。）

CommanderYour neural cloud is strong and underpinned with brilliant light. Perhaps that artist saw that side of you and was inspired.维克托的心智有着坚定的、明亮的底色吧。那个画家或许是看见了维克托这样的一面，获得了灵感。

CommanderJust like that portrait, there's a complex and chaotic side to you, but your determination to protect others shines through so brightly that the artist had to depict that dazzling light as well.就像那幅画，虽然有复杂混沌的部分，但维克托有强烈的保护他人的决心，所以画上也有耀眼的光。

(Vector stares in silence at the painting. She is unable to speak for a long time.)（维克托愣愣地看着那张照片，很久没有说话。）

VectorI can't believe you could interpret this painting like this... But what you say sounds like it makes sense, Commander.居然可以这样理解这幅画……长官说的……好像也对得上。

(As Vector continues staring at the painting, her face starts to blush red.)（维克托拿着相片看了又看，脸色慢慢有点红。）

VectorI never thought of it this way before. Does that mean... the artist approved of me? Now that you mention it, the same painting suddenly looks much more pleasant...以前从来没有这么想过，这么说，画家……是在认可我吗？长官这么一说，好像，同样的画作都变得顺眼了……

CommanderI'm sure that's how it is.一定是这样的。

VectorYes, I believe you, Commander. I'll do my best to look at the painting from that perspective...嗯，我相信长官。所以，我会试着换这种角度去看待这幅画……

(Vector looks at me nervously, despite having gathered up her courage.)（维克托看向我，似乎鼓足了勇气而显得十分紧张。）

VectorCommander, for a long time, I haven't been able to express my gratitude to you. The fact that you were able to accept and understand such an unlikeable Doll like myself... That's a debt I'll never be able to pay back even if all my parts were to be scrapped and sold.长官，一直以来我都没有好好地表达过对您的感谢吧。对着我这样不讨喜的人形，长官也还是一直在包容和开解我……真是……就算把我全身的零件都拆了卖掉，也没办法报答长官的恩情。

CommanderPlease love yourself more, Vector. Don't rip out your parts.维克托要珍惜自己，别乱拆零件。

VectorThe truth is, I felt something familiar when the ops room was attacked just now. It was just like that feeling when I was trapped inside that acid capsule... No, it was more intense, in fact.其实，刚才指挥室发生敌袭的时候，我好像感觉到了熟悉的情绪波动，就好像是回到了在腐蚀舱里的时候，不，我的情绪……比那个时候更强烈。

VectorI was frightened because I didn't know what was going on in here, I was anxious because I couldn't stop the enemies from barging in, my heart ached because you might have been hurt...因为无法掌握指挥室内的情况而恐慌，因为无力阻止敌人侵入而不甘，因为长官或许会受伤而痛苦……

VectorCommander, back then I was terrified that I would really jinx you. I honestly don't know what I would have done if I got there and something had happened to you...长官，那个时候，我很害怕我的乌鸦嘴成真，如果门里的您已经是七零八落的状态了，我真不知道要怎么面对……

CommanderIt's alright, Vector. I'm fine.维克托，没事的，我平安无事。

VectorYes, I'm glad something so fortunate could happen to a Doll like me.嗯，这样的幸运能发生在我这种人形的身上，真是太好了。

VectorI think that if I had been made into a portrait just now, that light would have shone even brighter...我在想，要是刚才的我也被画成一幅画的话，白光会变得更明亮吧……

VectorPerhaps that's because you're the most important thing in my heart. That's why I felt so strongly about your safety. I've only just come to understand this fact, Commander... and it makes me very happy.或许这是因为您在我心中是最重要的，所以您的安危才会激发我这些情绪。长官，我也是刚刚才明白这些事，我……很开心。

VectorHappiness is so strange, yet so warm... I'll make sure I cherish it.原来，开心的情绪是这么陌生而温暖……我会好好珍藏。

Covenant 铭契

VectorHm? Me? Are you sure you want a Doll like me to stay by your side?嗯？我吗？您确定是要允许我这样的人形待在您身边吗？

VectorThat's a very bold choice you've made.真是勇气可嘉的选择。

VectorCommander, I have a feeling... a good one, this time. I feel that we'll continue to be happy like this.长官，我有一种预感……这次是好的预感，我觉得，我们会一直幸福下去的。

Expression Through Art 画像寄情

VectorI have a gift for you, Commander.长官，我有一件礼物想要送给您。

VectorIf you don't like it, then you can just toss it into the shredder. I hope you'll like it, though.您要是嫌弃的话，直接扔进碎纸机就好。不过，还是希望您能够喜欢。

CommanderHm? What kind of gift is it? Is this a painting?嗯？是什么礼物？这是一幅画？

VectorYes, I made it myself. I've been studying art appreciation lately, as well as making art of my own. Dolls and paintings... It's kind of a strange combination.嗯，是我自己画的。我一直在学习艺术鉴赏，也在试着使用画材。人形和绘画……是有点奇怪的搭配。

VectorIn theory, my neural cloud should not be able to create art. But for some reason, when I take up my brush, I gain a better understanding of my "self" and my "emotions".理论上，我的心智应该是没有办法创造艺术的，只是不知道是不是我的错觉，拿起画笔的时候，我对“自我”和“情绪”的感知似乎会清晰一点点。

VectorWhen I thought about myself in the past, I could only ever produce something ugly. But thanks to you, when I think about myself recently, I've been able to produce scenes that others think are "pretty good".以前的我想到自己的时候，画出来的都是丑陋不堪的东西，多亏了长官您，最近想到自己的时候，似乎也能画出让其他人觉得“还不赖”的画面了。

VectorRuchey liked this painting, and while she said she didn't understand it, she was happy to see it. I figure this is probably my best work, so I came to give it to you.乌琪很喜欢这幅画，她说虽然理解不了，但看着高兴，我想这幅应该是我最拿得出手的作品了，就来送给您。

CommanderIt looks good. What does it show? It's all pink and delicate...是挺好看的，它画的是什么？粉粉嫩嫩的……

VectorIt's you... No, that's not right; rather, it shows my feelings when I think of you. Recalling all the little moments I spent with you fills me with satisfaction and joy. When I leave you, I look forward to seeing you again, and before I knew it, it produced colors like this.画的是您哦……也不对，准确来说，是我想到长官时的心情吧。回想着与您在一起的点点滴滴，会觉得高兴和满足。刚刚离开您的身边，就会期待着下一次能见到您的时刻。不知不觉中就调出了这样的色彩。

VectorI was going to add some gray or black, but Ruchey stopped me. Does she not like monochrome colors...?我本来还想在画上加上一点灰色或者黑色的，乌琪阻止了我，是因为她不喜欢黑白灰吗……

VectorCommander, I think leaving some parts blank is fine too. After all, our story has only just begun, and my feelings toward you might end up becoming brighter and more vibrant colors. Don't you think it would look better when the time comes and I fill in the blanks?长官，我觉得留白好像也不错。毕竟，我们的故事才刚刚开始。随着时间流逝，未来的我对长官的情绪会化成更加鲜明艳丽的颜色……等到那种时候，再让我填上这些空白，这幅画就会越来越好看吧？

VectorI'll make sure to keep adding to this painting, so... you'll continue staying by my side, right?长官，我会一直更新这幅画的，您也会……一直在吗？

Food Tasting 1 美食品尝1

The first taste astounds, immediately awakening slumbering taste buds.入口的惊艳，瞬间唤醒沉睡的味蕾。

CommanderEvery mouthful tastes like bliss.每一口都是幸福的味道。

VectorCommander, are you tired of working too?长官，您也不想工作了吗？

About Memories关于回忆

About Effort关于努力

VectorIt was a mistake to let me be the leader of Team B. I should quit before I make any serious mistakes...让我做2队队长就是个错误，我还是在没酿成大错之前不干了吧……

CommanderWho do you think should be your replacement, Vector?那维克托觉得让谁来接替队长比较好呢？

Vector...Maybe Welrod? But that would feel like I'm dumping all the trouble on her...……维尔德？但这样有一种把麻烦都推给她的感觉……

VectorNever mind, I'll just stay as the leader...算了，还是我来吧……

CommanderAre you interested in art, Vector? I saw a painting in your room.维克托对艺术感兴趣吗？之前在维克托的房间里看到了一幅挂画。

VectorOh... Are you referring to "Soul"? To be honest, I don't really understand human art, but that painting somehow manages to intrigue me...哦……您是指《灵魂》吗？我其实不太能理解人类的艺术，但那幅画不知道为什么莫名地吸引我……

VectorIf humans have souls, would they look like what was depicted in the painting? Multicolored and dazzling, yet ephemeral as fireworks. It makes you think about the utter emptiness and desolation that comes after one blossoms... If Dolls had something similar, what would it look like?如果人类有灵魂的话，会是那种样子吗？多彩的、炫目的，但又如烟花一般，让人可以想象其绽放后的空虚和寂寥……如果人形也有类似的东西的话，会是什么样的呢？

Vector(Sigh) ...In the end, it's all just random noise in my neural cloud. Don't mind me, Commander.唉……说到底，只是一些我心智内无序的杂音罢了，长官不用在意。

CommanderIt's quite surprising that you're so good at games.维克托意外地擅长游戏嘛。

VectorI've played with Ruchey before, but I don't play much on my own...以前和乌琪一起玩过，但我一个人玩得也不算多……

CommanderThen... do you like gaming, Vector?那维克托喜欢玩游戏吗？

VectorI enjoy it, and I don't. It's true that gaming gives me a bit of escapism from the crushing reality of this world. But once I stop playing, I find myself back in the real world, with the crushing realization that there is no escape...喜欢也不喜欢，玩游戏的时候的确感觉能稍微逃离这糟糕的现实世界，但游戏结束后会发现这现实也根本不会改变……

CommanderWhat books have you been reading lately, Vector?维克托最近在看什么书呢？

VectorBooks on murder cases... things like that.各种杀人案件纪实……之类的吧。

VectorI read them because the analysis reveals a number of abnormal phenomena that have led to the case, alongside subtle signs that could be easily missed...因为在这些案件的解析过程中，都存在着相当程度的反常现象，有一些非常细微的现象很容易被忽略……

VectorI want to increase my sensitivity to signs like those, so that I can help my team evade hidden dangers.我想要加强一下这方面的感知，帮我的小队规避潜在风险。

CommanderDo you have any particularly unforgettable memories, Vector?维克托有非常难忘的回忆吗？

VectorMemory is a uniquely human concept. For Dolls like us, "memories" are just data recorded over a certain period of time, stored within our frames.回忆这种说法，太人类了，对于人形来说，回忆是储存在我们素体内的一段特定时间内的数据。

VectorSince it's just data, it's mostly just experience that helps us improve our actions and logic.既然是数据的话，更多的只是经验，帮我们更好地完善行为思考逻辑。

VectorBut if I have to bring emotion into this... I might say that my "memories" of you, Ruchey, and the others are particularly memorable...但如果非要附着上情感的话……或许和长官，还有乌琪她们相遇的“回忆”是非常难忘的吧……

VectorHumans will inevitably pass away, right? Then... was there ever any meaning to all the effort spent in life?人总有一天会离开人世的吧？那么之前的所有努力……有意义吗？

CommanderIf I asked my soul, the answer would be that if we live life with no regrets and end with a clear conscience, then it is meaningful.只要问心无愧，就是有意义的。

VectorIf humans ask their souls... what about Dolls? If we asked our neural cloud, it would just search the web to piece together a passage for me to read.如果人类是问心的话……那人形呢？就算问心智，也只能联网搜索出一堆合成的文章罢了。

VectorMaybe... it doesn't matter if there was meaning to anything. Doing whatever we want is fine, right...或许……有意义无意义，都没有所谓，想做什么就去做，就行了……

The wafting aroma enchants, carrying away every trace of my weariness.扑鼻的芬芳，顷刻带走满身的疲惫。

The flavors blooming upon my tongue delight, filling my body with warmth and happiness.舌尖的绽放，幸福的暖意随即拥抱全身。

Rhapsody Quartet · 7 狂想四重奏·7

AndorisWant to go for another round? Since everybody's all fired up and all.要再训练一次吗？大家现在斗志满满。

MechtyGimme a break— I'm overloaded for today zzzzzzz....放过我吧——今天已经超负荷运转了，Z……Z……Z……

AndorisMechty?米什缇？

MechtyZzzzzz...Z……Z……Z……

AndorisHeh, looks like we can cross Mechty's name off the playerlist. She's already done her best.哈，看来参与选手的名单可以将米什缇除外，她已经尽全力了。

WelrodLet's go for another round. I can handle this level of difficulty in the simulation.再来一局吧，我完全可以接受训练的强度。

AndorisWill we be going with the previous lineup?还是按照刚才的小队分配？

CommanderI'll do a new draw.我重新抽选名额。

WelrodI'll just put this out there—I want to go for another round whether or not I'm picked.提前说明，不管选不选我，我都想再来一局。

CommanderAnd the team members are Klukai, Vector, Ruchey and Welrod.参与的成员：可露凯、维克托、乌琪、维尔德。

RucheyVivi, we're finally on the same team. I'll make sure I coordinate with you so we can get better data.Vivi，这次我们能够一起战斗了。我会和你好好配合，我们一起拿下更优秀的数据。

WelrodLooks like luck is on my side.看来我的运气不错。

Vector...……

(In contrast to how motivated the others look, Vector sighs heavily and looks at Klukai. She looks like she's ready to escape from this.)（不同于其他成员的干劲满满，维克托长叹一口气看向可露凯，眼神中已经有了逃避的念头。）

VectorSorry to bother you, Klukai.麻烦你了，可露凯。

KlukaiYou'll be the leader this time round, Vector. I'll listen to your directions.这一局训练模式，你当队长，维克托，我会听从你的安排。

VectorNo.不。

VectorI think you're better suited to being team leader.我觉得你更适合当队长，可露凯。

KlukaiVector, you're more familiar with how Ruchey and Welrod fight. Therefore, you should be the leader for this round.维克托，你比我更熟悉乌琪和维尔德的战斗习惯。所以，这局你来当队长更合适。

VectorWhile that's true, I...虽然是这样，但是……

KlukaiYou know how Mechty loves to slack off, so the fact that you can bring out her full potential is a great accomplishment.能让爱偷懒的米什缇发挥出全力是了不起的才能。

VectorBut that was just...那只是……

KlukaiLet's go. I have faith in my judgement.开始吧，我相信我的眼光。

WelrodI agree with Klukai's decision. Incidentally, there is a chance that everyone present will adjust their tactical responses to match emergent circumstances.我认同可露凯的决策。提前说明，我们所有人都有根据敌人情况做出当下应变的可能性。

RucheyWell, adapting on the fly is what you like, Welrod. I'm used to it.随机应变是维尔德最喜欢做的事情，我已经习惯了。

WelrodThat's the best way to obtain ideal data.这样才能获得最优秀的数据。

RucheyHere's to fulfilling our precious wishes! We can do it, Vivi.为了实现重要的心愿！Vivi，我们一定可以做到。

Art Of Praise Ⅰ 赞美的艺术·Ⅰ

VectorYou're here, Commander... Over here, please. Have a seat... This half of the sofa is for you.长官，您来了……请到这边……长官，请坐……我把沙发的一半让给你……

CommanderSurely you can tell me why you suddenly wanted to learn how to praise your teammates now?现在可以说说了吧，为什么突然想要学习夸奖队员？

Vector(Sigh) ...Some time ago, we took a request to rescue some wounded people from a collapsed quarry...唉……前阵子，小队接了一个从坍塌的矿井中救援受困伤员的委托……

VectorThe difficulty rating was a D, but I had a bad feeling before we set off.任务的难度评级是D，但出发前我一直感觉不妙……

VectorAnd while escorting them to safety on the way back, we were attacked by ELIDs. Because of the mess they made, the quarry collapsed again...果然，在护送伤员撤退的中途，队伍突然遭遇了生骸的袭击……矿井内由于生骸的行动发生了二次坍塌……

VectorThankfully everyone had planned for the possibility out of habit, and all of them got out safely.好在大家习惯性地做好了预案……最后伤员们都安全获救了……

CommanderIt certainly seemed like it was eventful, but you did a good job with the request. Sounds very much like Team B's style.听上去虽有波折，但委托完成得不错，很符合二队的一贯风格。

CommanderThere must be something else for you to be so troubled though, right?不过，既然你为此困扰……是还发生了什么别的事吗？

VectorAs expected of the Commander, you figured it out right away...不愧是长官，这就猜到了……

VectorHere's how it went down. After the place collapsed again, the entire convoy was stuck in the dark for a while...是这样的……在矿井二次坍塌后，整个护送队伍在黑暗中被困了一段时间……

VectorIf we had simply proceeded as planned, we would have been out of there pretty soon. I subconsciously said some dismal stuff, though, and the ones we were escorting took it the wrong way, thinking that they were stuck for good...其实按照预案处理，队伍很快就能脱困……但我下意识地说了一些消沉的话，让伤员们误以为没救了……

VectorThanks to Ruchey comforting everyone while we were stuck, we managed to finish the request in the end...多亏乌琪在被困期间一直安抚大家的情绪，委托最终才能顺利完成……

(Vector's head droops deeply. I caress her head lightly, hoping to alleviate her poor mood.)（维克托深深地垂下了头。我轻轻揉了揉她的短发，希望能稍微缓解她低落的情绪。）

CommanderWell... it could have gone worse.嗯……也算是有惊无险。

Vector(Sigh) ...We were reviewing the situation afterwards... Welrod said that what I brought up damaged the entire team's morale.唉……委托结束后，小队进行复盘……维尔德说我被困时的发言，拉低了整个救援队伍的士气……

VectorThe emotional support Ruchey gave them was incredibly important, but I didn't give her any praise at all...而且，乌琪在被困期间的安抚，发挥了很重要的作用……但我却完全没有好好夸奖乌琪……

VectorWelrod reminded me that it wasn't just that time... In our past requests, I never really gave any real praise to the members of my team that performed well.维尔德提醒我，不仅是这次……过去的委托里，我作为队长，也从来没有认真夸奖过表现出色的队员……

VectorThe problem is that I really don't know how. Doing what's necessary to complete the mission is something that should just come naturally, to my mind...可是，我真的不知道该怎么夸奖……完成任务，在我看来本来就是一件理所应当的事……

VectorEven if I was to praise them, everyone in the squad has something they obviously specialize in. Giving them praise for the same thing every time would just be weird.就算要夸奖……小队每个人都有显而易见的擅长的事，每次都夸奖同一个优点吗……感觉好奇怪……

VectorIf I really insist on it without a good reason, it would turn out awkward.可是如果不找理由硬夸，双方都会很尴尬吧……

(Vector's head hangs low with frustration. I pat her head again, trying to wave away some of the gloomy clouds.)（维克托的头苦恼地垂着。我再度揉揉她的脑袋，试图为她挥散一些阴云。）

Commander...I understand. That would indeed be difficult for someone of your disposition, Vector.……我明白了。以维克托你的性格，的确有些勉强。

VectorYou think so too, Commander... Giving commendations, raising morale, I'm just not cut out for it. Maybe it's better to give up...果然，长官也这么觉得……夸奖大家、振奋士气什么的，根本不适合我，还是放弃比较好……

CommanderI don't think so. If you really wanted to give up, you wouldn't have gone to the effort of asking me to help with your frustrations.我可不这么认为。如果真的想放弃，维克托就不会为此而苦恼，还想要向我请教夸奖的方法了。

VectorCommander, is there really hope for me?……长官，我真的还有救吗……

CommanderOf course. Let me share some relevant experience with you.当然。我来分享一些关于夸奖的经验吧。

Art Of Praise Ⅱ 赞美的艺术·Ⅱ

CommanderYou explained the reasons why you're not good at giving praise. I understand, but I don't think I entirely agree.刚才，维克托解释了不擅长夸奖的理由。虽然我大致理解了，但并不完全认同。

VectorEh...? What do you mean, Commander?哎……？长官，是怎么想的呢……

CommanderYou think it's hard for you to praise someone because of your personality, right?维克托因为性格的缘故，觉得夸奖大家很难，对吧？

VectorYeah... Who wants to hear lifeless compliments? Sounds more like a curse than anything else, maybe...是的……没有人会想听死气沉沉的夸奖发言吧……也许比起夸奖，这更像是一种诅咒呢……

CommanderI think that's where you're going wrong. Praise is a means to an end. The important thing is getting across what you want to convey, not following a template or formula.呵呵，这就有些误解了。“夸奖”，本身是一种行为手段，重点在于“夸奖”所要传达的内容目标，而非其固定的形式。

CommanderMaybe you've noticed already, Vector; every team leader on the Elmo does it in different ways.维克托有注意过吗？艾莫号上各小队的队长，夸奖队员的风格都不太相同。

CommanderKlukai is stern, Zhaohui is direct, Springfield is gentle.可露凯的夸奖很严厉，朝晖的夸奖很直接，春田的夸奖很柔和。

VectorOh, if you put it that way...啊……这样说的话……

VectorWhen Team B finished a mission back in the day, Klukai would point out things that were lacking with everyone, but then she increased the difficulty of future missions... Is that a form of praise?过去二队完成任务后，可露凯指出了大家的不足，但反而把后续任务的难度提升了……原来这也是一种夸奖吗？

CommanderYep, turning the difficulty up was her way of recognizing Team B's abilities. Since she's conveyed what she wanted to, emphasis via language is no longer so important.嗯，提升后续的任务难度，就代表了对二队实力的认可。目的已经达到，语言的强调就没那么重要了。

VectorNo wonder why they were so pumped back then, I think I'm beginning to understand... If it's just conveying some sort of recognition, I think I could manage that...难怪那时候大家很受激励，我有点懂了……如果只是向队员传达某方面的认可，我还是可以的吧……

CommanderThat's one part of it. The exact contents of what you want to convey and the timing are important, too.传达你的认可是一方面。另一方面，夸奖的内容和时机也很重要。

CommanderYou can't do it at-will, you need to find something in particular that is worthy of praise. And timing is key too. Try to praise immediately after the moment deserves it.不能泛泛地夸奖，而是要真正找到值得夸奖的具体行为。夸奖的时机，也尽量保证即时性，不要拖延太久。

VectorOh... Commander, I must have already missed the chance to praise her. I wanted to speak to her again after I learnt something of value from you...啊……长官，我是不是已经错过夸奖乌琪的最好时间了……本来还想等向您学习之后再重新找她的……

VectorForget it, it's meaningless... I'm a useless leader...算了……没有意义了……我果然是个没用的队长……

(Vector shrinks further into the sofa. Her short hair softly follows her movements, covering her eyes.)（维克托垂下头，更深地缩进了沙发里。那一头短发也随着动作柔软地垂下来，盖住了她的眼睛。）

(I get a little closer to her, brushing aside a few strands of her hair.)（我靠得离她更近了一些，为她拂起了垂落的发丝。）

CommanderI'm not finished, Vector. Even if you've missed the best possible timing, doing it in a compensatory way still has value.维克托，我还没说完。即使错过了最佳时机，补偿性的夸奖依然是有价值的。

CommanderIf Ruchey performs well like that again in the future, mention this mission. That way, the effect will be doubled.如果未来乌琪再次这样表现出色，你在夸奖她的同时提及这段经历，这份夸奖就变成双倍的了。

VectorSo that's how you can do it...原来……还能这样……

CommanderLike I said earlier, the more important thing is conveying what you wanted to say. No matter what the method is, that is the goal.如我刚才所言，最重要的是传达你想要告知队员们的内容目标。不管用怎样的方式，都先告知她们你的心意。

VectorThank you, I think I understand...谢谢您，我明白了……

(Some of Vector's confidence seems to return. She raises her head again, smiling shallowly.)（维克托似乎找回了一些信心。她重新抬起头，向我露出了浅浅的笑容。）

VectorCommander, could I... ask you to be "Ruchey" for a little?长官，我……可以请您先暂时担任一下“乌琪”吗？

VectorYou've just told me many things... and if you're willing, I'd like to practice a little before I speak to Ruchey and the others.您刚才教了我这么多技巧……如果您愿意的话，我想在找乌琪和其他队员之前演练一下。

CommanderOf course. Truthfully, even if you hadn't brought it up, I would've suggested practice.当然可以。事实上，就算你不说，我也会提出演练要求的。

VectorThank goodness, I'm in your debt... I-I'm really afraid I'll mess it up.那就太好了，谢谢您……我、我真的很怕夸奖得很糟糕……

(Anxiousness returns to Vector's face. I lightly place a hand on her back.)（刚抬起头的维克托又露出了些许不安。我轻轻拍了拍她的背脊以示安抚。）

CommanderTake it easy. If it doesn't look so good, I'll give you some advice. That's the point of practice, after all.放轻松，如果发挥不佳，我会为你提供改进建议。这正是演练的意义嘛。

VectorMy thanks, then. Let me have a moment to prepare...好的，那就拜托您了。我先准备一下，请您稍等……

Art Of Praise Ⅲ 赞美的艺术·Ⅲ

VectorI'll get started, Commander.长官，那我开始了。

(Vector apprehensively adjusts her collar, nodding. I respond in kind with a nod.)（维克托不安地整了整衣领，向我点点头。我也轻轻地点点头，以示回应。）

CommanderDon't be nervous, pretend I'm Ruchey. Try to get across what you want to say.别紧张，把我当成乌琪就好，说出你想传达的内容。

VectorCommander... Ruchey's efforts in communicating with our clients in the past few missions have been excellent...长官……乌琪在最近的几次任务中，和委托方的沟通都非常出色……

VectorEspecially our last rescue operation... When we were trapped inside the quarry, it was thanks to Co-no, Ruchey... keeping everyone's spirits up in the darkness that the team could stay calm and finish the operation.尤其是上次的救援行动……被困在矿井里的时候，是因为有长、不……乌琪一直在黑暗中安抚大家的情绪，整个队伍才能保持镇静，完成行动……

VectorAs the leader, I must thank you, Commander, for... no, Ruchey...作为队长，我非常感谢长官在行动中……呃，乌琪……

(After slipping up with the name once again, Vector stops herself, defeated.)（再一次说错了名字后，维克托有些挫败地停下来。）

VectorSorry, Commander... I'm just no good. I can't get it all out in one go.对不起，长官……我实在太没用了，总是没有办法顺畅地说完这些……

VectorI go through it all in my mind, but then I see you standing right here, and I just... forget everything...明明心智中已经模拟好了夸奖乌琪的话，但看见长官站在我面前，我好像就……就什么都忘了……

CommanderLooks like I'm the problem here, then. Let's try something else.看来是我给你带来困扰了。那么，我们换一种方式吧。

CommanderDon't pretend I'm Ruchey. Just give a compliment to me, okay?别把我当做乌琪了。维克托直接来夸我，怎么样？

VectorAh... But, Commander, I need a reason...啊……但是，长官，那个……夸奖的理由……

CommanderOh, sorry, I forgot about that. Let's try with "I'm good at praising my squad members" for practice?哦，抱歉，我忘记还需要一个具体的理由了——就以“我很擅长夸奖队员”作为练习理由吧？

VectorT-that's not what I mean, Commander.不、我不是这个意思，长官您误解了……

(Vector's face flushes for some reason. She pinches at the edges of her broad clothing, trying to avoid my eyes.)（维克托的脸莫名地红了起来。她有些局促地揪着宽大的衣服下摆，试图避开我的目光。）

VectorI... I think there's just way too many things about you worth complimenting, Commander. I don't even know where I should start...我……我觉得长官值得夸奖的地方实在太、太多……我无法判断从哪一条开始比较好……

CommanderReally? You're going to make me embarrassed. Hm... let's go back to the principles. Do your best to get across the key points of what you want to say.是吗？说得我都有些不好意思了。嗯……从夸奖的原则来看，就先从维克托最想传达的内容目标开始吧。

VectorO-okay...好……好的……

(As if finding her courage once more, Vector looks upwards, looking at me with determination in her eyes. Her golden eyes shine and the gloomy clouds that were hovering above her seem to have taken their leave.)（像是重新鼓起了勇气一般，维克托抬起头，认真地注视着我。她金色的眼瞳闪闪发光，一直笼罩在她头顶的阴云仿佛也短暂消失了。）

VectorCommander... You really are good at pumping up everyone around you.长官……您真的很擅长鼓舞身边的人。

VectorIf I had a different Commander, a gloomy good-for-nothing like me would've been tossed out long ago... No, worse. Maybe I'd already be scrap in the recycling station.像我这样丧气没用的人形，如果换一个指挥官，一定早就被赶走了吧……不，一定比这还糟，也许我已经变成回收站的零件了……

VectorBut not only did you not throw me away, you got me out of so many messes, helping me figure out what's really going on whenever I get a sinking feeling...可是，您不仅没有报废我，还屡次为我开解，在每次我产生糟糕预感的时候陪我分析真实的原因……

VectorAnd you did it again today, comforting me while I'm in the dumps and patiently helping me with how I should praise my teammates...今天，您又安慰了消沉的我，耐心地指导我各种夸奖队员的技巧……

VectorCommander, you really are too considerate, I...长官，您真的……真的很温柔……我……

(Her voice grows quieter and quieter, ever-shrinking. By the end, she had covered her face with her hands.)（维克托说着，声音越来越小，越来越小。说到最后，她直接捂住了脸。）

CommanderVector?维克托……？

VectorSorry, Commander... My neural cloud's operating frequency is a bit higher than normal ranges...抱歉，长官……心智的运算速度有点超出了正常值……

VectorGive me a bit to calm down...请让我、让我先冷静一下吧……

Art Of Praise Ⅳ 赞美的艺术·Ⅳ

(After ten minutes of being a scaredy shroom scrunched up on the sofa, Vector composes herself.)（在捂着脸缩在沙发中当了十分钟的害羞蘑菇之后，维克托终于恢复了冷静。）

VectorSorry, Commander, I got carried away. Our practice went nowhere, too...长官，对不起……刚才我自顾自地说了很多话，夸奖的演练也发挥得乱糟糟的……

VectorPlease, forget about all of that. I'll go make preparations so we can practice again—那个，请您都忘掉吧……演练的事，我再回去重新准备——

CommanderNo, don't. I think you did well just now.不，不用。我觉得维克托刚才的演练就很好。

VectorReally? You must be saying that just to comfort me... It's alright, you don't need to. I'm used to it.真的吗？您是为了安慰我才这么说的吧……没关系的，您不用在意，我已经习惯了……

VectorDolls like me are destined for a tragic life the moment we're shipped from the factory, with our settings...像我这样的人形，在被设定好出厂的瞬间就已经注定要面对悲惨的人生……

VectorMy existence only brings misfortune and misery to people around me, dragging everyone's morale down...我的存在，只会给周围的伙伴带来阴霾与不幸，拉低小队的士气……

CommanderI don't agree at all.我可不这么觉得。

CommanderYou might often be negatively inclined, Vector, but these thoughts of yours often help others avoid danger.维克托虽然总是产生丧气的想法，但这些想法也常常帮助队友规避危险。

CommanderAs for the things you say... Whether it's your squadmates or the folks on the Elmo, everyone understands how you are. They won't berate you for being you.至于爱说丧气话……不论是你的队友，还是艾莫号的伙伴，都已经了解了你的个性，并不会真正因此责怪你。

CommanderThe one who cares the most about all of this... Is you, Vector. Am I right?真正最在意这件事的……其实是维克托自己，不是吗？

VectorCommander?长官……？

CommanderVector, the fact that you're worried about getting people depressed and that it'll lower morale and affect their safety—all that is proof that you care about your teammates.维克托在意丧气话，担心这些话会拉低小队的士气，担心影响队友的安全——这正是维克托关心队友的证明。

CommanderVector, you're really kind, you know.维克托，其实是很温柔的人啊。

VectorCommander, are you... complimenting me?长官……您……您是在夸奖我吗？

(Vector's face which had just returned to normal begins to redden again. Before she can shrink back into the sofa, I take her hand.)（维克托刚刚恢复正常的脸颊又开始慢慢变红。在她再一次成为“害羞蘑菇”之前，我认真地牵住了她的手。）

CommanderYes, and I'm speaking from my heart. I'm not practicing.没错，我在认真地夸奖维克托。不是演练。

CommanderFrom a technical perspective, that was the key point of what I wanted to convey to you. Did you get all of that?从夸奖技巧的角度来说，刚才的话就是我想要传达给维克托的“内容目标”。不知道维克托能接收到吗？

VectorOf course... I took in everything, Commander, all of it.当然……长官的夸奖……我全部都……全部都听到了……

(Her voice quietens again, like a wisp of mist, pulling you in and urging you to seek out the source of that strand.)（少女的声音再一次变得越来越轻，像是一缕轻盈的雾气，让人忍不住想要凑近，直到亲自触碰到那雾气诞生的源头。）

CommanderThat's good.那就太好了。

CommanderI have many more things I could compliment you about, Vector—其实，我还有很多继续夸奖维克托的理由——

VectorCommander! Please, no more...……长官！请您不要再夸奖我了……

(A sudden embrace interrupts me. I hear her voice faintly as it travels through my chest, buried in my lap as she was.)（一个突然的拥抱打断了我的话。维克托埋在我的怀中，她轻轻的声音贴着我的胸腔传来。）

VectorPlease, Commander... Just let me be like this for a bit...长官，拜托了……就让我这样安静地与您待一阵吧……

VectorOr I won't know how to look you in the eyes next time.否则我实在不知道下一次该如何面对您……

Her frame fell into a state of disrepair due to the leader Rodrigo's negligence regarding maintenance. She took on the role of Team B's leader to repay the replacement of her frame after being rescued during an operation by Squad 404 under Klukai's command. After Griffin's dissolution and reorganization, Vector's extensive resume and elite combat prowess landed her many positions. However, her cynical and blunt personality caused all of them to be short-lived. From being security guards to waitressing or still models, Vector and Ruchey experimented with many, many jobs and even removed their fire control cores at one point. Ultimately, both decided to reinstall their FCCs and return to the battlefield. Gloomy, morose, pessimistic, apathetic, withdrawn—these were the words people usually associated with their first impression of Vector's personality. She's constantly surrounded by a negative aura, and her "bad feelings" often wound up materializing. She used to disregard Dolls' emotions, which allowed her body to degrade and her mind to decay, but Ruchey's bravery and devotion awakened Vector's passion for life and appreciation of self. As the current leader of Team B, Vector's pessimistic outlook gives prior warning to her teammates, which ultimately helps to protect them in dangerous situations. Despite her shortcomings and the unalterable negativity stemming from the deep depths of her neural cloud, Vector strives to become a "good leader" every day.原代号Vector，H.I.D.E. 404第二作战队的队长。曾与二队成员乌琪、维尔德、哈卜茜一起，供职于赏金猎人车队，并因领队罗德里格吝于维护，陷入素体状态不佳的窘境。在某次任务中被可露凯率领的404小队搭救后，为偿还更换素体带来的债务，带领成员作为404二队活动。 格里芬解体重组后，维克托曾因履历与精英级的作战强度得到过不少工作，然而拜丧气又直接的个性所赐，她总是很快被辞退。警卫、服务生、静物模特……维克托与同行的乌琪曾卸下火控核心，进行过种种尝试，二人最终选择的是装回火控核心，重回战场。 阴郁，丧气，消极，冷淡，回避——人们对维克托的初印象大抵如此。她的周身总是阴云密布，她的“乌鸦嘴”发言更总是灵验至极。她曾漠视人形的情感，放任素体被腐蚀，放任心智迈向消亡，是乌琪的勇敢与守护唤醒了维克托心底的愿望，让她珍视自我。 成为404二队队长的维克托，运用消极的预言为队友带来示警，在危机重重的环境中尽力保全整个小队。即便仍有不足之处，写入心智底层的消极也无从改变，今日的维克托也在向着“好队长”的角色努力迈进。

Record 2One would frequently encounter two T-Dolls on the bean bag sofa in the Elmo's lounge. "...Today's sofa feels a little stiffer than usual... Whatever, this will do..." There's Vector. "Oww, so heavy... W-who's that... Vector again...? Can you move a little?" And then there's Mechty. "I apologize, Mechty... I didn't realize you were present," said Vector as she rolled over to share the bean bag sofa with Mechty. "Yeah... I'm waiting for Klukai to wrap up her report... Nap time..." "I see... speaking of Klukai... (Sigh) I got scolded by her again today..." After adjusting her posture, Vector closed her eyes and nudged against Mechty. "Oh? What did you do, Vector?" "I asked Ruchey if she could swap her frame with me and use my body to attend a client's meeting... We got caught by Klukai before the plan could come to fruition..." "Oh... So you wanted Ruchey to act as your doppelgänger for a meeting? That's kinda weird..." Vector sighed with her usual gloominess. "Ruchey... is better at connecting with people. The client's an important one; I'm scared I will botch the deal by saying something wrong..." "Well... maybe you should practice what you want to say after you wake up, Vector... after you wake up," muttered Mechty as she slowly drifted away. "There's plenty of time... (Sigh) It'll be fine if I relax a little for now, right...? Even with misfortune lying ahead, it's not here yet... And I'll surely be prepared... by then..." mumbled Vector as her voice also faded into silence.艾莫号休息区的懒人沙发上，经常会长出两个人形。 “……好像今天的沙发比之前硬……算了，凑合吧……” 这是维克托。 “好重……谁……啊，又是维克托……你过去一点……” 这是米什缇。 “抱歉，米什缇……你也在啊……”维克托在沙发上滚了滚，与米什缇平分了同一个懒人沙发。 “嗯，我在等可露凯结束汇报……先睡……” “原来如此……说到可露凯，唉……我今天又被可露凯说教了……” 调整姿势之后，维克托贴着米什缇闭上了眼。 “哦？维克托做了什么？” “我拜托乌琪偷偷和我交换素体，用我的外型去开客户会议……这个计划还没实行就被可露凯阻止了，唉……” “啊……让乌琪做维克托的开会替身吗？那是有一点奇怪……” 维克托惆怅地轻叹：“乌琪……更擅长与人沟通。这次的客户很重要，我怕我说错了什么，到手的单子飞了……” “唔……维克托或许可以睡醒之后，试着练习一下要说的话……睡醒之后……” 米什缇的声音慢慢轻下去。 “还有不少时间准备……唉……先放松一会儿，没关系吧……即便要有厄运，也晚点再降临吧……到时候……我会……准备好面对一切的……” 维克托的声音也渐渐含糊。

Record 3"Combat briefing...? No, I'll pass on that... Better have Welrod handle that..." As was often the case, the task of conducting the briefing, one usually given to the team's leader, had once again fallen into Welrod's hands due to Vector's reluctance. "The mission target and planned routes have been sent to everyone. Please remember them by heart. If there are any questions, feel free to ask now; I'm here to dispel any concerns," said Welrod as she crossed her arms with confidence. "Emm... I have a feeling that..." Vector, curled up on the briefing room chair, mumbled so quietly that the others in the room instantly fell silent just to get a chance to understand what she had to say. "Vector, it's great that you're trying to express your opinions. That's commendable. However, are you sure your vocal module is not malfunctioning? If you can't raise your voice further, please have Mayling repair it ASAP," said Welrod as she frowned. Vector took a deep breath, then let loose her words at breakneck speed— "I feel like we might get ambushed and blasted into pieces by enemies hiding inside the maintenance shaft in Plan A or get smashed into scrap metal by missiles or meteorites or whatever falling from the sky in Plan B so if you all have something to say to me please say it now because we'll all meet our doom soon and also I'm very grateful for having made it so far with everyone and thank you all for letting a burden like me tag along with you since the next time will be the last time..." Some gasped, while others turned pale. "Whew..." Welrod exhaled. "Thank you, Vector." Be it an omen or a gift, the bleak future prophesized by Vector seemed to always materialize. On the flip side, this meant that the resourceful members of the team could always come up with means to stay one step ahead of it. This was and continued to be one of 404 Team B's methods of survival.“作战会议……？不，我还是算了……这里还是由维尔德来主持更合适吧……” 像往常一样，通常由队长主持的作战会议，这一次也在维克托的推脱下交给了维尔德。 “任务目标和行动路线已经交给各位了，请你们熟记于心。要是还有什么疑问，请现在提出。当然，我会逐一消除所有的疑虑。” 维尔德环抱双手，显得信心满满。 “……那个……我有一种预感……” 维克托蜷缩在宽大的会议室座椅中，小声念叨着什么，会议室里顿时落针可闻。 要是不能保持绝对的安静，恐怕无法听清维克托的声音。 维尔德皱起眉头：“维克托，勇于发表自己的见解是很大的进步，这点值得赞许。可惜，你的发声组件是出现故障了吧？要是尽全力都无法增大音量，还是尽快请美玲维修吧。” 维克托深吸口气提高音量，语速像被赶着上架的鸭子那么快—— “我觉得我们会在方案A那个通道里被埋伏在维修井的敌人轰成融化的铁水，或者在方案B的栈道区域被从天而降的什么导弹什么陨石什么废弃垃圾包砸成铁饼……大家还有什么话要告诉现在这具素体就趁早说吧，毕竟很快就到了最后的时刻了……能和大家一起走到今天我已经很满足了，谢谢你们愿意一直带着我这样的拖累。下次就是最后一次……” 室内响起队友们倒抽冷气的声音，胆子不大的人形面色逐渐发白。 “呼……”维尔德轻吐口气，“维克托，做得不错。” 是乌鸦嘴还是特别的礼物呢？维克托所指明的惨淡未来，似乎注定会发生。但是，只要那样的未来被提前观测到，擅长谋划的成员总能想出应对的办法。这就是404二队的生存之道。

Record 4After Griffin's reorganization, Vector and Ruchey attempted to take on many positions in the Green Zone. For example, as clothing salespersons— "Miss, my baby looks wonderful in these, right? Every piece looks so good... Oh, surely you wouldn't mind taking some pictures of my baby to use for your promotions. If you give us a discount, we won't charge you any model fee." "I apologize, but following common standards of beauty, your child's appearance is on the lower end of average human beings and does not meet our requirements for a model." The client was enraged, and Vector lost her job. Other times, as estate security guards— "How dare you? Don't you know who I AM? I'm this estate owner's father! Do you think I NEED an invitation to come over?" "I'm sorry, sir. My instructions are that no human may enter the estate without an invitation. I assume that includes my employer's father." The guest was enraged, and Vector lost her job. Vector sighs, her arms wrapped around her knees. "Is there any job even a mute could do? Like... one that doesn't require you to speak, or even move, for that matter..." "What are you even thinking, no way that kind of a job exists..." Ruchey replies as she flips through the job listings. "...Huh? It exists?" "Mascot costume model. Requirements: complete a 10-hour photo session wearing a heavy suit in 42℃ conditions; remain still when no instructions are given." "Vector! This is the one!"格里芬重组之后，选择和乌琪一起前往绿区的维克托尝试过很多工作。 例如，服装售货员—— “人形小姐，我家宝宝穿这些都很好看吧？真是每件都不错呢……对了，我家宝宝可以帮你们拍模特照，你给我打个折，就不收你们模特费用了。” “很遗憾，根据普遍的审美标准，您家孩子的外貌在人类中属于中等偏下，不符合我们店雇佣模特的要求。” 客户大怒，人形小姐维克托痛失工作。 例如，庄园门卫—— “敢拦我？你知道我是谁吗？我是庄园主人的亲爹，我来庄园要什么邀请函？” “对不起，先生，我接到的指示是没有邀请函的任何人类都不能进入，我想任何人类里也包括雇主的父亲。” 贵客大怒，庄园门卫维克托痛失工作。 维克托抱着膝盖叹气：“唉……有没有哑巴能胜任的工作？不用说话的那种，最好……也不用自主移动……？” “你在想什么呀维克托，这样的工作怎么可能……”乌琪一边翻找招工启示一边回答，“……咦？还真有？” “在42℃下穿着重型玩偶服担任模特，完成10小时宣传片拍摄，没有指令时保持静止。” “维克托！就决定是这个了！”

Record 5What's the last thing that goes through a human's mind when they meet their demise? When a Doll's neural cloud disappears, will her mind—constructed with code and data—conjure similar thoughts and imagery? Within her sealed glass tank, Vector watched apathetically as the acid slowly devoured her metal body. The acid slowly rose above her head, damage at 15%... Pain? Merely an illusion, simulated by electric signals—its only purpose was to inform the location and extent of damage. Dolls couldn't feel real pain; Dolls' emotions were nothing but crude imitations of human characteristics. That's what Vector kept telling herself. Frame damage at 30%... It's part of the job; it's the employer's order; Dolls existed to follow orders. Even if the frame was ruined, with an adequate payoff, a backed-up version of Vector would soon be reborn in another body. Frame damage at 50%. Network error, cannot upload neural data... With her eyelids dissolved, Vector was forced to watch as her synthetic skin slowly peeled off from her metallic endoskeleton, like low tide that pulls back and reveals the unsightly rocks underneath. Frame damage... failure to calculate. Runtime error. Reboot... failure. Data loss. Error, error, error... Chaos swallowed and enveloped the surroundings; an unimaginable droning filled the air. And suddenly, in the midst of that haze, a ray of light cut through the chaos. "Vivi—! ...You... I... Save... No... Vivi...! It's Ruchey. The glass tank vibrated, but only fragments of her voice could be recorded by the heavily damaged audio module. Amidst the chaos, at the end of that ray of light, a silhouette of a human slowly came into view. Vector knew who that silhouette belonged to. She strained to keep her eyes functional, even through the countless error warnings that told her the opposite. "...Commander..." A voiceless calling from her neural cloud, like a gentle whisper.... I wish to be alongside you... once again...人类将死之时，脑中最后闪过的是什么呢？ 人形的心智将要消失的时候，由代码和数据构成的大脑也会模拟出类似的画面吗？ 维克托待在密封玻璃容器中，冷眼看着腐蚀性液体慢慢吞噬自身这具钢铁躯壳。 腐蚀液漫过头顶，损坏程度15%…… 痛苦？那只是电信号模拟出的知觉——目的只是告知受损部位和严重程度。人形没有痛苦的知觉，人形的情绪不过是代码对人类特性的拙劣模仿。维克托这样告知自己。 素体损伤30%…… 这只是模特工作的一部分，是雇主的命令，作为人形听命就好。即便素体损坏，只要酬劳足够，另一个久远的历史版本的维克托或许会在别的素体上重生。 素体损伤50%，网络故障，心智数据无法上传…… 眼皮已被溶解，维克托被迫瞪眼看着仿生皮肤从钢铁构造上脱落，像是退潮的海水离开海滩，暴露出丑陋的礁石。 素体损伤……计算失败。运行错误，启动失败，数据丢失，错误，错误，错误…… 混沌取代了周围的景物，无法形容的嗡鸣充斥其间。恍惚之中，有一线光明破开混沌。 “Vivi——！……你……我……救……不……Vivi……！” 是乌琪的声音，容器在重重地振动，但只有支离破碎的音节被受损的声音采集系统录入。 混乱的心智之中，那一线光明的尽头，恍惚浮现出一个人类的轮廓。 维克托知道那是一名人类，她知道那是什么人。维克托努力地睁大双眼，即便无数的报错通知告诉她，这是现在不可能做到的事。 “……长官……” 心智中传来无声的呼唤，轻得仿佛一声叹息。 ……好想再一次……和您一起……

Record 6There were always new games to play at Elmo's celebration parties. This time around, it was a word-guessing drawing game, and my partner was Vector. Vector was all serious when she drew—her expression showed how she's putting all she's got into her work. Yet, somehow, our duo flopped miserably, and the common area was filled with gleeful laughter at our expense. After the game, I couldn't help but question Vector over some of the details. "This. A stick with a string on top of a rice ball... What does it mean? "Commander, the 'stick and string' is meant to be a word—dye... See, the stick is actually the logo of a dye company. I've double-checked how to draw it on the net..." Vector explained in a dejected manner. "And the 'rice ball'... is in fact, a hill." I gave the drawing a closer inspection. After Vector's hint, that weird triangular shape did kind of look like a hill. "Sure, so dye and a hill. What's that supposed to mean?" "The answer is, 'a hill to dye on', Commander... It's the dye company on top of a hill." "I apologize, Commander. If it wasn't for me holding you back, you probably wouldn't have lost the game... My drawings are terrible. Had I known this would be the outcome, I would've asked you to just put me in sleep mode and simply pick any other Doll that would do better than me..." Vector hung her head low. Her drawings weren't what cost us the game, but Vector seemed to have been demoralized by the thought of letting me down. "Ugh, don't take it that way. Your drawings aren't terrible. You're simply more adept at abstract paintings..." "Is that true, Commander?" Vector lifted her head imperceptibly, her eyes glittering. "So... if there's an abstract painting contest in the future... Would you mind being my partner once again?艾莫号的庆祝会上总有新游戏，这一次是你画我猜，我的搭档是维克托。 维克托画画时很认真，脸上带着拿出了全部本事的凝重，但我们的组合一败涂地，公共区被欢快的笑声塞满。赛后，我实在忍不住好奇，拉着维克托复盘。 “这个，木棍连出一根线接着饭团……这是什么意思？” “长官，您所谓的‘木棍’是娱乐记者——娱乐工作人员……您看，木棍手上举着的小棍上有八卦电台的台标，标志无误，我在信息网络中确认过了……” 维克托沮丧地解释着一切。 “至于‘饭团’……那是山，我画的是山丘。” 我凑近那幅简笔画看了又看，经维克托点明，那块三角图形似乎确实有了点山丘的意思。 “好吧。娱乐记者连接着山丘，这又是什么意思？” “长官，谜底是‘愚（娱）公（工）移山’ ……我的木棍记者在努力推我的饭团山哦。” “对不起，长官。要是没有我拖累您，这次您也不会输吧……我的画技根本见不得人，早知道会变成这样，我就应该拜托您让我休眠，随便哪个人形都会做得比我更好吧……” 维克托低垂着头。 败北并非画技的问题，但维克托似乎因为连累了我而格外消沉。 “呃，别这样想。维克托的画技并没有那么糟糕，你只是比较擅长抽象画……” “真的吗？长官？” 维克托微不可见地稍抬起头，眼睛晶亮。 “那……如果下次有抽象画的比赛……长官，您还愿意跟我做搭档吗……”

Record 7I got a rare opportunity to enter a Green Zone. After the Elmo was safely parked, I decided to head to the town for supply procurement, with Vector as my escort. Just as we walked out of the shop, a drop of rain landed on Vector's hair, followed by another, and a third... Vector snapped back to her senses and quickly pulled me under the eaves. Right as we retreated into the building's shadow, rain started pouring down, filling the air with petrichor. Vector set down the supplies in her hands and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the droplets off my shoulder. "Hmm? Since when did you acquire a habit of carrying a handkerchief?" "I didn't, but..." "But?" "With a Doll like me at your side, things are bound to go wrong even in the Green Zone. Picking me as your aide requires a lot of courage, so in return, I shall honor that courage by being prepared for anything and everything that might happen." "This downpour might last a while..." said Vector as she pulled an umbrella out of nowhere. "Commander, let's head back like this..." "Other than this umbrella, I've also prepared for potential robberies, thefts, and every other crime... This area is quite safe, but given that I'm present..." "You've come prepared. I appreciate that, Vector," I smiled and complimented her. The umbrella's coverage was limited, so Vector tilted it toward me. "No need to do that, Vector." She remained silent as I looked at her. A smile lingered on her face—a rare, coy, and pure grin. "What's so funny?" "Nothing... I was just thinking that despite the bummer going home in a downpour... being with you makes even misfortunes a joy."难得有机会进入绿区，安置好艾莫号后，我和维克托进城采购，由维克托担任我的保镖。 刚走出商店大门，一滴水珠落在维克托的发丝上，两滴，三滴…… 维克托回过神，快步拉着我走到街边的屋檐下。才缩进檐下的阴影中，大雨就倾盆砸落，空气里泛起湿润尘土的味道。 维克托放下手里的物资，拿出干净的手帕帮我擦肩上沾到的水珠。 “呃？维克托有随身带手帕的习惯吗？” “本来没有。只是……” “只是？” “像我这样的人形在场的话，就算是在绿区行动也不会一帆风顺吧。长官，您选择我同行真是很有勇气，为了回报您的勇气，我也只能做好万全准备了。” “这场雨或许会持续很久……”维克托不知道从哪里拿出了折叠伞，“长官，就这样打着伞回去吧……” “除了伞之外，我也做好了应对突发抢劫、偷窃等犯罪行为的准备……即便这里整体治安不错，毕竟是我在场……” 我笑着夸她：“准备充分啊，维克托真能干。” 折叠伞能庇护的范围不大，维克托将伞倾斜向我。 “维克托，你不用这样。” 她没有说话，我看向她，少女微垂着头浅浅地笑。是罕见的笑容，腼腆而清澈。 “维克托在笑什么？” “没什么……我只是在想，即便是出门遇到暴雨这种倒霉事，或许是因为跟您在一起……顶着大雨回家也变成了快乐的事……”

Record 8On the very first day of her refit vacation, Vector stood at the door of the ops room and held a suitcase. "Commander, I forecast no misfortune today. Would you mind going on a date with me...?" Her eyes were tinged with caution. "I won't waste much of your time..." I accepted Vector's offer. She pulled out folding recliners and a stand out of her suitcase. "What's that for?" "It's a stand for a sun lamp, used to provide some sunlight indoors. The light emitter is... found it..." Vector quickly set up the recliners and the lamp. "I see, but why sunbathing in the ops room?" Vector patted the recliner as I lay down under her expectant gaze. Perhaps due to the two chairs being placed so close to one another, Vector's body was pressed against mine, shoulder to shoulder. "You've been hard at work without taking any rest lately, Commander... Since there will always be more jobs to do, and you're a human made of flesh of bones, you need to take a break when it's needed..." "I believe lying down is the most relaxing thing to do, and I thought you'd like it, which is why I chose it for our date... I hope you can unwind with this..." "Right under the warm sunlight... with nothing to worry about... and no misfortune to be part of..." "Uhh... I feel sleepy..." Vector's voice slowly faded away. Perhaps subconsciously looking for a more comfortable position, her hair brushed past the tip of my nose as her head came to a rest on my chest. "Let's take a good rest... together... Commander..."整修假期的第一天，维克托拖着行李箱站在指挥室门口。 “长官，我今天的预感中没有坏事，您愿意跟这样的我约会吗……” 维克托的眼神有些小心翼翼：“我不会浪费您太多时间的……” 我接受了维克托的邀请。 维克托从行李箱中拿出折叠躺椅和一条支架。 “那个支架是什么？” “长官，这是日光模拟灯的底座，它能为您带来小范围的阳光。光源组件……找到了……” 维克托很快布置好了灯光和躺椅。 “哦，要在指挥室晒太阳？” 维克托拍了拍躺椅，我在她期待的目光中躺下。 或许是两张躺椅靠得太近的缘故，维克托的素体几乎贴着我，肩靠着肩。 “最近的长官一直很忙碌，没怎么休息过吧……工作是做不完的，您毕竟是血肉之躯构成的人类，劳逸结合是必要的……” “我觉得躺着真是最舒服的放松方式，长官说不定也会喜欢，所以才这样约会的……希望您能放松一点……” “就这样躺在温暖的阳光下……什么也不想……不动就不会有倒霉的机会……” “唔……有点困……” 耳边维克托的声音渐渐低下去。或许是下意识地想要寻找一个更舒适的姿势，不知不觉中，维克托的发丝拂过我的鼻端，她的脑袋枕在了我的胸前。 “长官……一起……好好休息吧……”
