Originally, tracking down AK47 and the other dolls' whereabouts, at the very least, was a verbal agreement, even if it wasn't a task issued by G&K HQ.
There should have been some compensation involved.
But since Renault had already directly detained those dolls without mentioning any compensation... coupled with the issues on the Griffin side, Helian didn't have the mind to continue worrying about task rewards.
Losing five dolls, one of whom was the pastry chef from headquarters, may not sound like a big deal, but... most of the dolls at HQ knew G3.
If those dolls who had a good relationship with G3 found out that G3 had almost disappeared, then perhaps...
Moreover, G3 hadn't backed up her neural cloud map. After all, being at headquarters and not in a dangerous combat position, there was no need to back up her neural cloud.
And it wasn't just G3; there was also the matter of explaining to the AK47 under Peter Lenkov's command.
Should she just go directly and tell them that there's a doll with the same memories as her hundreds of kilometers away?
The most critical issue was the deployment of these dolls...
The new commander's induction test did exist, and besides AK47 and G3, the other three dolls had indeed come to participate in the test.
The command authority for the dolls had already been transferred to the new commander. Although it was only temporary command authority, there wouldn't normally be any unexpected situations in the induction test beyond what the commander expected.
Otherwise, what would be the point of the months of training at G&K HQ?
Now that unfortunate new commander not only didn't get their own dolls but also completely failed the induction test...
Coupled with the fact that the internal moles in Griffin still hadn't been exposed, it was like all the headaches were hitting Helian at once.
But the thought of being able to get communication devices from Renault through Angelia's hands in a few days, mad her giddy privately!
She couldn't help but start smiling foolishly.
"Hey! M3! Did you see that!? Did you see it!? That Proxy Helian! She! She actually smiled!"
"How is that possible! I've been standing guard here for months! I've never seen Helian proxy smile before!"
However, just as she was laughing foolishly, outside the door that wasn't closed properly, there came the chatter of several dolls discussing!
...
"Huh? Huh? What do you mean, Commander Renault, by saying we don't need to go?" AK47, who was feeling somewhat uncomfortable in Renault's factory area, was about to leave early, hoping to reach the airport and wait until dark to evacuate, but was suddenly stopped by Renault and told that they didn't need to go...
"Literally, from now on, you have no relationship with Griffin at all. Just stay here and work for me honestly." Shaking the data cable in his hand, Renault said so.
Since he had already notified Helian, he didn't need to worry about anything when he started acting.
And to be honest, Renault didn't think that after letting them go back, they would have a good ending.
To make a few inconspicuous ordinary tactical dolls disappear completely, it was not a problem for those who had caused him trouble many times before.
For the dolls infected with that virus, except for him, it would be difficult for anyone else to trust them again.
Just like the droids in Base 939 back then, MDR later heard on an anonymous forum that most of those dolls had been dismantled, and not a single one had left a neural core.
Even though IOP was very confident in their technology for clearing viruses, it was still difficult to make those who had been hurt by dolls believe in those dolls that had gone berserk once again.
For such situations, IOP's approach was simple: dismantle the neural cores for complete destruction, retain the body parts for refurbishment, install a new neural core after refurbishment, and then put them on the market as discounted items.
Anyway, no matter what, IOP always found a way to sell these obsolete dolls.
And the fate of AK47 and the others was probably similar. With full-action data records and neural cores that had been infected by the virus, they would probably be dismantled as soon as they returned to Griffin.
As for whether these neural cores would be sent to the lab for testing or directly sent to the landfill, that remains to be seen.
Anyway, the technology to back up neural cloud maps was in their hands. Even if they fused and destroyed the original neural cores, what difficulty would there be in recreating a new neural core using the backed-up neural cloud maps?
"So? Dreams come true?" M14 tilted her head, glanced at M1919A4, and was still a bit confused about what was happening.
They had just been infected with the virus, and even shot the floor and ceiling, but ten minutes later, they were told that they were no longer Griffin's dolls?
Wasn't that too hasty? Back then, after they were activated at G&K HQ, they signed many agreements one after another.
"Isn't this great? Anyway, it's the same wherever I work." SpectreM4 was carefree. Hearing Renault's words, she waved her hand indifferently.
G3 hesitated, glanced at Renault, and then at the direction of the quarantine door.
Although the food here was indeed very good, she still wanted to go back to Griffin. After all, there were many dolls she was familiar with over there.
Of course, Renault would not let her go.
"Forget it, stop thinking about it. Instead of risking having your core melted as soon as you return to Griffin, you might as well come here obediently and work for me. I bet you've never been to Griffin's disassembly room."
Grabbing G3's collar with one hand and pinching AK47's neck with the other, Renault directly dragged these two indecisive individuals to the workshop.
Seeing Renault's actions, HK416 shrugged speechlessly. She had personally been to the disassembly room, but because she was dissatisfied with the mission content and had some friction with UMP45, her core was about to be melted...
She had already seen Griffin's true attitude towards dolls. If she obediently followed orders or quietly acted as a flower vase, she could comfortably pass the time in Griffin.
But if she had a bit of resistance like her, she would definitely be disassembled and sent back to the civilian market at the first opportunity, and the unlucky ones might even be sentenced to death like her.
"Huh? Huh? Commander Renault? Why are we going to the workshop again? Haven't the viruses on us been cleared?" AK47 struggled dispiritedly, somewhat worried as she asked Renault.
"Yes, the virus has been cleared, but there are still some things that haven't been cleared, like base root protocols."
Hearing Renault's words, HK416, who followed, helplessly spread her hands.
Delete the root protocols, then record the body shape data, change the neural core, replace the body... it's the same old trick.
