With the search is on for AR-15, it seems that during the search, another high end, Alchemist sends a horde of Sangvis dolls.
Before we get to the search for AR-15, there is an interesting flashback. This is when AR-15 entered Persica’s office where she saw M4. It’s obvious that they do not get along initially. We see some hints behind their relationship later.
While Kalina looks after a bunch of restored T-Dolls. Yep, it’s obvious that they need extensive training after restoring their abilities. That is while Gentiane chastises one of her commanders saying that they need to be careful. This is when Gentiane finds out she received a support team that is looking for AR-15 called the Squad Negev.
As expected, when the squad got to the campground things take a turn for the worse. That is when Travor tried to call for reinforcements, they hear something strange. Thankfully, she unplugged the transceiver before the infection. Alchemist came to taunt them until she sends hordes of Sangvis T-Dolls towards them. In other words, Squad Negev had to retreat to the planetarium and defend their positions. Somehow, Negev lost contact to her squad. Thankfully, she found M4, SOPII and M16.
Eventually, M16 managed to attack a nearby Sangvis base, thus causing half of the Sangvis T-dolls attacking Squad Negev’s position to shut down. This gives M4, SOPII, and Negev to meet up with the rest of the team. They later find out that the squad is safe after they displayed a series of lights.
Of course, Gentiane was hesitant in allowing them to do so while Sangvis was attacking since she knows that if she loses any AR-team members, she won’t be able to get them back. Eventually, Gentiane allows them to as they take out the remaining Sangvis forces.
Eventually, AR-15 appears out of nowhere. Obviously, she is acting very strange. Gentiane finds out that M4 and SOPII has gone missing. Somehow, SOPII signal is still detectable. M16 eventually finds her, but SOPII can’t remember what happened. Of course, it seems that Sangvis is still at large.
In another flashback, we see AR15 wake M4 up. It’s obvious that AR15 is under orders to become friends with M4. M4 notices that AR15 is not happy. Of ocurse, AR15 won’t smile unless M4 orders her to. This makes me wonder, why is this the case? We’ll find out in the finale and more as Alchemist is basically the final boss, at least for now.
Hope AR15 is a double-agent or the virus unexpectedly corrupted her further. Signs point to the former because I find it hard to believe she would fully turn on AR Team despite her early dislike of M4.
Hope for the best, but I still wonder what is the reason why she hates M4. Still, given the orders AR15 received, it’s obvious that Persica intended to have M4 the leader of the team.
