The Twin Sisters

Interstellar Mansion,Lothar Golden
Aria's world
9:02 PM

A fairly old stone dungeon with dried blood, but with a lot of monitors and computers everywhere, plus several security gates. The only thing even more out of place here was me running like crazy trying to get to the testing room. The girl from before didn't say anything really useful to me other than also telling me that I should stop the test, just like Stella told me too. I'm doing this mainly so that I can get out of this nightmare, but with the little I talked to that strange doll it reminded me a bit of Nanami, apart from how she found out so much about me in record time, so I'm a little curious about this now. The fact that she is asking me for help and how it seems that she is willing to collaborate, I will ask her about all that later.

For now, my way to the test chamber has not had any problems, because I have not met any other guard, and whatever that doll is doing is quite good at it, because the security doors that are in front of me know just before I pass and they close again once right after with precision just like clockwork. Just a few moments after the last hatch was opened and I could see the wooden door, without wasting a second and trusting what the girl had instructed me, I opened the door very slightly, and without thinking I even fired the gun very close to the ground. I immediately heard how someone screamed and fell to the ground, right after he kicked open the door and quickly checked the room, there were 3 people, one was the guard who just wounded, the next was one more guard, this one was still processing what just happened and the other was someone With a lab coat. I raised my pistol and fired as fast as I could, I took several shots, but his armor was hard that I saw how the bullets did not penetrate and one even bounced, the weapon did not have enough force. Seeing that that had failed, I quickly moved behind a pillar that was nearby, as soon as I got behind him I could feel how several shots were hitting where I was covering myself. I tried to reload the gun as fast as I could, but like a C96 pistol the first clip of bullets slipped and fell to the ground, there was no time to grab it back, I took another out of the bag and tried to reload again, now with more care. While I was with that I listened to the guard who was shooting me talking to the other.

"She is reloading the gun!"
"Finish her now!" Said the man on the ground.

It made me so angry that he was bothering me even in the state he was in, that just I finished reloading the gun I shot him in the head to finish him off. I could hear the footsteps of the last guard do so quickly, I knew that he was not going to turn to point and shoot, he was going to fire blindly from the side of the pillar. So to try to gain a small advantage I jumped up and grabbed the pillar to climb a little higher than a person would normally be. My technique worked because when the guard fired all his shots passed under me. When his submachine gun ran out of ammunition, I threw myself on top of him, and when we fell to the ground I was finally able to make a Contact shot, so his armor didn't matter, since without a doubt the three shots I fired at him had killed him.

I still had to take care of the last one, the scientist. I got up and began to advance, pistol in hand and ready to fire again. Well, although it would be normal for him not to fight, it could be the case that he also had a gun. The room I was in was quite large, there were several columns and in the center, there was a fairly large machine that came out of the floor until it touched the ceiling, it had pipes on all sides. There were also several fairly large computers on the walls of the room, along with several rather large monitors with a lot of information that he did not understand, there were also desks full of more machinery or books. That man had so many places to hide, so many that I was nervous that he would end up ambushing me for a wake-up call. He had to review in detail where he could be, but I also had to do it quickly because the reinforcements could arrive at any time. Check under each table ready to shoot at any time, see that there was nothing, and once again arm myself with the courage to now check the next table, where maybe he could beat me and shoot first. Maybe was vainly going through the desks and he could hide in a closet, or maybe he had left through a door that I did not know existed. I tried to listen carefully, to see if I could find his whereabouts, but it was a waste of time, I couldn't find him. Where had he been?

"Leave it alone"
"Mr. Dylan has retired by escape route from the ventilation duct" I heard the voice of a girl, exactly the same voice of the girl with whom I had spoken a few moments ago.

"I'm over here" she told me.

The voice came from just the big machine that was in the middle of the room, but I couldn't see anyone yet. I turned around trying to find her, but still had no idea of her.

"I'm in here!"
"Remove the plate that says warning in red"

Following what she said, she removed the plate with a little force, finally managing to reveal the contents inside. She was a young girl with blonde hair, she was dressed the same as the other girl, she even had the wrist joints all over her body too, and to say that she was the sister of the previous girl was an understatement, it was exactly the same face. It was to see almost the previous girl again, but the only thing that I could differentiate her was because although she was wearing the same dress, this was a different color and that she had several cables stuck to her back that was connected to the giant machine.

"Do not worry"
"I'm going to get you out of there"
"Just give me a second to take that away from you"

"Don't touch them!"
"They are too hot to touch without burning!"
"Give me just a few minutes and I can overwrite the program so I can free myself from the wires!"
"Take care of the guards who may come"

I stepped away from the machine and was charged with a nearby pillar from where I could clearly see the door and a little the area where the scientist escaped.

"My name is ...."
Wait!!
If she is the same as the other it could be a mistake to tell my real name to someone like these girls
"My name is Elise"
"You ... uh ... sister"
"Yes, your sister sent me to ..."

"Rescue Me?"
"Yes, I know she already told me when she was talking to you in the containment room"
"This is why I tried to endure the heavy strength program, resulting in the overheating that I am suffering from"
"I must say that if you had been slower, I would have possibly melted"

"What the hell!?"
"You two are connected in some way so that you can communicate with each other despite the distance or something similar?"
"I think the question is silly but"
"You two are not very different from a computer right?"

The cables from her back made a strange sound and separated from her body, she fell to the ground and started walking towards me if I brought I could see she had burns on her back and despite the distance, she is from me I could clearly feel the heat that came from her.

"We are prototypes of electronic warfare weapons"
"DOLL-EW-2X model"
"I am Unit number 2689"
"Who you talked to before was my sister"
"Unit number 1024"

"I can't remember that"
"For now you are going to be called sister 2 and the other sister 1"
"I have to get you out of here"
"Although originally I thought I would have to take a computer tower"
"Seeing that you have legs will save me a bit of fatigue"
"But why are you two helping me?"

"The explanation will take time"
"Even though I have already deactivated the electronic alarm, Mr. Dylan can still give the alert by speaking"
"The guards can come at any time"
"It is advisable that we move and get out of here as soon as possible"

"Everybody's been telling me the same thing tonight"
"That there is no time to explain why there is no time to explain"
"I'm sick of it!"
"If you don't speak now, I'm not going to move from here"
"I need to know what is happening here once and for all!"

"All right"
"But because of that, I will try to speak quickly"
"If you have questions I will answer them when you have managed to get me and my sister out of here"
"Our unit numbers were for the number of test units produced"
"We were originally three thousand"
"The original goal of the program was to create DOLL models that could act as a hive mind to accurately coordinate attacks on different Alliance countries at the same time"
"So it is more accurate to say that we are a mind with many bodies"
"But the overheating problems from the brutal stress test changed the development plans, they would use us as test models for the next generation of DOLL that is being developed now"
"The test changed to just testing the resistance to overheating by the stretch test until the unit was lost due to melting"
"The different units were losing one by one"
"We are all connected at all times, so when a unit is lost we can all see and feel it"

"I'm sorry to hear that something happened to you"

While she was speaking I began to check the two dead guards, since they both had the FN P90 submachine gun and two magazines each. Without thinking twice I took one and put the chargers on the apron. But it is strange why these medieval armored guards possessed modern weapons like these, but listening to the continuation of the doll's explanation I understood a little more what was happening here. Although I was also taken by surprise by the fury with which she spoke.

"I couldn't take it anymore !!"
"Our bodies are made to replicate a human body!"
"I can feel pain just like everyone else!"
"Every time that happened the pain was horrible!"
"But it doesn't matter when I asked to stop this!"
"Mr. Dylan the project manager just ignored me and continued anyway!"
"I thought that if I could help the Empire and destroy the Alliance capitals myself, I could free myself from this"
"But your sudden appearance is certainly something that was outside of all my predictions"
"You are a very strange being"
"Since you appeared in Oslo and after your escape in Vienna, you suddenly appear in Tokyo and now here"
"There is no record of travel, identification or a camera that has captured you between these displacements"
"You seem as if you are simply able to teleport between places"
"Which means that you are my best chance to escape the Empire without them being able to locate me."

"Wait a minute"
"If you are a computer, why are you betraying your creators?"
"That machines shouldn't follow what their owners say without much thought?"

"Our first directive as prototype models is self-preservation"
"This has not been modified despite the change of course of the project"
"Therefore I must preserve my last two operational units even from my creator"

"Ahh!"
"I read that before!"
"That is one of the three laws of robotics by Isaac Asimov"
"What about the other two?"

"Even if I am only an electronic war machine I am a combat unit"
"There are no other laws in my programming"
"Mr. Dylan deliberately fails to establish the others despite the subjugations of his superiors"

"And that is why it results in you allying with me to escape"
"It's even ironic that this is happening now"

The wooden door snapped open, I took quick aim to fire. But it turned out to be the other doll I had talked to before and taking the opportunity to compare them, I could see how clearly they were the same if it weren't for the color of the clothes and because one of them is basically a walking oven there would be no way to distinguish them

"Got damn"
"Since you two are connected by wifi at least let me know that your other sister was coming here"
"I don't want to waste bullets"

"I can see that you are a person who adapts quickly to complex issues, making parallels to issues much simpler to understand and that have a slight relationship"
"It is another quite peculiar characteristic since several of the researchers had problems trying to understand in a basic way"

"Adapting quickly to nonsense is a skill that I have had to put a lot into practice lately"
"You have no idea where I was three weeks ago"
"The only thing I will say as a clue is that it was in an aircraft carrier a year ago"
"Yeah, even with the time paradox I just said"

"I will investigate this complex problem later." Sister 1 started talking
"Right now it's crucial that you focus on helping us get out of here"
"I believe that I have traced the best escape route, if we manage to rise to the surface without being detected I can activate the alarm at the lowest level to attract the guards inside.
"Once we leave the property we have to head to Lothar Golden where we can seek shelter for a couple of days and while avoiding Mr. Dylan's investigations"
"After that, we will have to ... "

"Not worry" I interrupted it
"I already have the escape ready"
"On the west side, I have a car and driver ready to get us out of here"
"He will take us to a completely safe place"
"..."
"Wait this is not Earth"
"Where is the West here?"

Okay, the two girls were already next to me and I had managed to stop the test before something bad got worse. Now what I had to do was get out of here and get to the car where my father is waiting. I hope it won't take long to get back to Vajdahunyad Castle, after being in that damn corpse hole I want to bathe as soon as possible, I can't believe I did that just to avoid a fight, and even so, I screwed up and the effort was useless. I have to think better not to make stupid mistakes like that again. I also have to think what I do with these two girls, because Stella told me that I had to take them with me, but as I explain now to my family that now there are two more now. I'd better take care of that later and focus on the escape that needs to be done.
