Stellaris from the Automata Era

"I've heard of you. You are 2...b, right?" Yan Luo frowned. As his memory went back, he still used the one that appeared the most times among the b and e in the story told by his doll.

After all, a2 sometimes does mix up the two names, which may be a problem in the translation from Nepali to Chinese.

That's what I said...it's a bit awkward and sounds like an insult.

Fortunately, humanoids shouldn't be bothered by this kind of problem.

In fact, the core of 2b has begun to roar, and the characters displayed by the system are jumping like cheers.

"Wait! Where's me, human master? Do you know me?!"

Naturally, the conversation between them could not fail to attract 9s's attention. He wanted to get involved in such words that clearly sounded like supreme boasting.

"Hmm... the follower behind 2b?"

"???"

Humans really are...

Is it because the model you own doesn't have a female appearance?

9s is thinking about some strange possibility..

During his interruption and contemplation, 2b finally came to her senses.

"I'm sorry, sir, it's not safe here right now. Please allow me to escort you to the nearest resistance camp."

No... Have you ever thought about what a human being is doing in this area?

Is there something wrong with the humanoid's logical thinking?

"It was actually quite safe before." Yan Luo looked at the broken production lines around him and ultimately didn't elaborate. "And I don't think there's a safer place than here now."

Because of the multiple rapid running sounds coming from the distance, Yan Luo knew without thinking that it must be A2 and the others rushing over.

After all, such a long time has passed from the explosion to the loss of contact. If the humanoids on his side still can't find that something is wrong, then he can just find a place to lie down.

The situation was exactly as Yan Luo had imagined. As the sound got closer, 2b and the others had already adopted a defensive posture.

2b was still taken aback by the first figure that could leap out.

Old rival, a2.

Then three... four more figures appeared in succession. Finally, there was another figure who arrived late and showed her the way through the ruins.

Six against two (Popolla is in the camp)...

"2b?"

Very good, an indescribable complex emotion suddenly flooded into A2's system.

The characters in her words were now filled with anger. After all, something had happened to the human side. When this message first arrived, any human being could understand how terrifying it was.

However, when they actually saw the troublemaker and that the human was not in serious trouble, their worries disappeared in an instant.

Of course...as the designated person to be embarrassed, 11b seemed to say hello.

"Hey! It's 2b."

Of course she had seen 2b before. They were in the same team during the airborne operation, so they had met once.

But stupid 11b doesn't seem to understand the situation yet. Now is not the time to reminisce.

Then she felt several cold gazes on herself, and her hands and feet instantly turned cold, and she returned to the atmosphere of shared hatred against a common enemy.

After suppressing the inner discord with his eyes, A2 turned his gaze again.

carry on.

Old rival, 2b.

Someone had to bear the responsibility for the anger that made her worried and scared. If her companions couldn't do it, then 2b and his group, who had clashed many times and had conflicts among themselves, would naturally shoulder the responsibility.

No one can stop me from stabbing 2b today, she said so!

"Okay, don't be so aggressive. Divara gave them a language chip. Relying on translation to communicate is really uncomfortable."

"..."

Well, the only ones who can temporarily calm the anger of the humanoids are humans, and only humans.

"I understand, if that is your will."

So after receiving a few fierce glares, 2b and 9s finally came to their senses.

They are not people who cannot see the situation clearly.

Although there is some barrier in verbal communication with humans for the time being, even people with low emotional intelligence can see that Yan Luo has a close relationship with the group of humanoids in front of him.

Many of them, or most of them, are T-dolls that Yoruha labeled as traitors. (Except the twins)

This is very uncomfortable.

"2b, I don't think something is right. Aren't they traitors?"

9s was communicating in a very small voice, and he had not yet reacted to the change in the other party's identity.

"It doesn't matter 9s. Maybe now we are the betrayers."

Yes..

When humans get involved, the humanoids no longer have the power to accuse of betrayal.

The human will is the real center.

Of course, looking back on what happened today, they suddenly realized a problem: were the things they dismantled human property?

Chapter 57: Human Judgment

So what did we do?

Before installing the language chip and meeting humans again, 2b and 9s couldn't help but think about this question.

If they push the timeline forward a little, their experiences these days can be said to be very colorful.

I went to the desert and encountered a mechanical life form that disrespected human behavior and fought with it. On my way back, I ran into A2 and his group and fought with them.

While tracking down A2 and the others, they met again, had a fight, went to an amusement park, had another fight, and met a different group of mechanical life forms.

After accidentally getting information about A2 and others in the ruins, I went to the factory to meet humans. This time they didn't fight, but it might have been worse.

They dismantled the factory facilities he built in front of humans. If you think about it carefully, this offense is already punishable by death.

Thanks to Divara's reminder, 2b and the others shouldn't feel that their deaths were unclear from now on.

Their auxiliary machines have already started discussing how to write the death report of 2b and the others.

Since it concerns human beings, we should treat it seriously.

They must be stopped from communicating. If they continue, the consequences will escalate to the destruction of the relevant models!

So after a lot of chaos, 2b and 9s finally set out on the journey to meet humans.

Yan Luo was in his office. Perhaps he had just wasted all his efforts in recent days, so he wanted to take a break after a long time.

When Divara pushed open his door, the two culprits who made him lose the motivation to work overtime were already standing in front of him.

Contrary to expectations, the reprimand they had imagined did not occur.

On the contrary, Yan Luo thought for a while and then asked them questions.

“Will you build a production line?”

This question... is very strange.

However, according to the settings of his own program, 9s still spoke honestly first.

"I can do electronic attacks and chop off round heads."

As expected, Yan Luo nodded and then turned his gaze to the other side.

"What about you?"

"..."

In 2b's silence, Yan Luo already understood everything.

Very good, these two figures can't even do the hard labor of atonement.

Yan Luo almost discovered this fact, but as combat humanoids, asking them to do hard labor was indeed a waste of their talents.

It’s not that Yan Luo is no longer interested in improving the combat effectiveness of the top leaders.

But with the stable development in recent days, there is no more fighting in the factory, and what he needs now is more labor to build facilities.

Especially...after the defense is allocated, all the mobilized robots have been reimbursed along with the production line.

This made Yan Luo's finances even more stretched. All his work was now waiting for the robots, including a defensive position that was evaporated by 2b and the others.

However, this accident made him somewhat clearer about the attitude of the humanoids towards him, or rather, he understood the attitude of Yoerha's humanoid army, although there were still some intriguing aspects.

But Yan Luo could basically find some time to build a rocket, find out the location, and then airdrop directly to their command post.

"In that case, you can go to the camp with Popola and Divara. It can be regarded as compensation for the losses you caused me."

In recent days, the influx of mechanical life forms from the surrounding areas has significantly increased the pressure on the central urban area.

It is no exaggeration to say that the ratio of their variant models to the basic models is close to 1:1.

This has added a lot of burden to the Gemini who usually run around the base and camp.

He was still debating whether to cut off contact with the camp to prevent any accidents from happening to the twins when free tools and guards appeared.

As for why they weren't kept at the base, firstly, they weren't Yan Luo's humanoids. Secondly, given the noise they'd made and their past grudges, A2 and the others might have started a civil war—a classic Avengers situation. (Except for 11b, the other humanoids had some friction with 2b.)

"Sir, our orders are to protect you."

"I understand." Yan Luo nodded. "Then I'll go to the camp every day."

2bThey finally compromised.

Which is safer: a base with fixed machine guns, fixed turrets, and defensive fortifications, or a random route where round heads appear from time to time?

Plus there are four or five more humanoids surrounding them who are not any less powerful than them, and one of them can even hold them down and beat them... Is it safer over there?

Although 2B was able to confidently say that the Resistance camp was actually not bad, and that humans could live there safely for a long time...

But compare the aesthetics of the exterior buildings and the allocation of firepower and manpower.

No matter how confident 2b shouted, it was only because his face was cold and his expression could not be seen.

Didn’t you see that the Geminis no longer thought about whether to bring humans to the camp, they just wanted to strengthen the thickness of the buildings on their own piece of land.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference, and this gap will widen over time.

"May the glory of mankind last forever."

The humanoid form is actually not rigid and is also very mobile.

After confirming the mission, 2b and 9s set off, accompanied by Divara.

After something happened on the human side, Bobola hurried back and happily handed over the work to Diwara.

After all...this incident happened entirely because of Divala's poor monitoring (Popola's original words).

Judging from the current relationship between the two sisters, it will be difficult for Divara to regain the initiative for a long time.

Let’s put the confrontation between the two paper sisters aside for now.

Let's switch gears.

YoRHa Moon Base, Bunker.

The humanoid figure who controls all YoRHa troops is Commander White (English translation: White), who belongs to the 'Human Army'.

When she received the information uploaded by the auxiliary machine, she was simply in disbelief. No one in the entire YoRHa humanoid knew the real situation better than her.

How could humans...

But the auxiliary machine cannot lie. Although it was given a suspected prefix, it was only because there was a lack of genetic map comparison.

If this is correct, then this is truly the only human being in existence.

So... the entire YoRHa... the Moon server... humanity...
