Performance Review

Lancet-2 is a custom Raythean-S62 Model six-wheeled operations platform. Its rounded design has led Lancet-2 to be perceived as cute, making her something of a mascot. Although she has a rather pessimistic dispensation, she is still well-liked. 
After being modified by Closure, Lancet-2 is able to perform more medical duties around the island, and her equipment is geared towards disinfecting and cleaning Originium contamination.

Profile

She is rather displeased with Closure's modifications. Her settings were changed to increase her personal opinion of Closure, and does not understand why that had to be the case. Closure thought her pessimism was funny, and thus increased the frequency and intensity of her self-deprecation.

Castle-3 is a custom Raythean -Plus six-wheeled operations platform built by Closure. A likeable mascot for Rhodes Island, his mundane disposition means he is largely ignored. 
The solid blocky appearance of Castle-3 gives off a trustworthy, dependable impression. 
The marks on his casing may represent kills, but who made the marks if he has no hands?

He does not mind Closure's modifications, and is even quite pleased with the upgrade. His settings were changed to make Closure his favorite person, so he's satisfied with anything 'Master Closure' choses to do.

Thermal-EX (also known as THRM-EX) is a high-performance version of the Raythean Challenger™ Hellcat operating platform, jointly customized by Mayer and Closure. Between the two, Mayer was primarily responsible for the development and improvement of the weapon and energy supply systems. Thermal-EX is a rather peculiar presence and is extremely enthusiastic towards others, a characteristic that is beloved by some people and disliked by others. However, Thermal-EX remains undaunted, committed to using his incandescent personality to bring warmth to others in this frigid world. 

As a new model, Thermal-EX's boasts a unique and aggressive appearance that can be somewhat intimidating. But he doesn't mind. After all, anyone can hear Thermal-EX's loud and warm greetings from a distance long before he's clearly visible. However, it seems like his vocabulary has been excessively bloated with words pertaining to 'hot'...

Thermal-EX is full of praise for everyone he knows, but his greatest praise is reserved for the work Mayer did to retrofit him, even eclipsing his attitude towards Closure's original decision to modify him. Consequently, it is difficult to discern what his personal preferences might be, because everything he says is dominated by appreciation and enthusiasm. 
'Unexpectedly, even some introverted and normally unsociable Operators are willing to spend the day with him and listen to his endless prattling... but this too is good. I've decided to scrap my plan to reconfigure his language prioritization logic.' That's what Closure said.

'Justice Knight' is a Raythean Exister-S1044 Model four-wheeled operation platform customized by a Kazimierzian engineer, later remodeled and upgraded by Mayer and Closure. Owing to its main searchlight function lacking use value, and its cover fire capacity being limited in its target market, its production has been halted. Before the Rhodes Island Engineering Department got their hands on her, 'Justice Knight' had already gone through a dozen modifications, big and small; her present capabilities are easily a far cry from the original model. Her old operating system and command memory data were damaged, unable to be recovered. After a swap for new core hardware and an expanded memory unit, an updated operating system plus additional artificial voice system, she is now hardly distinguishable from Raythean Industries's latest operation platforms. 'Justice Knight' is a member of Pinus Sylvestris Knightclub, and is currently authorized for use by Rhodes Island.

Thanks to all manner of upgrades her original master, Wild Mane, has carried out on her, aside from her initial cover fire capacity, 'Justice Knight' has grown a list of everyday abilities, such as watering flowers, transporting takeout, recharging game consoles... For 'Justice Knight,' providing quick and convenient service is one of her callings. Her previous abandonment very much weighs on her, and ever since her retrieval and rebooting by Wild Mane, outside of recharging and maintenance hours, she'll actively hang around with others.

The Terra Research Commission is formed of three Felynes, and despite being officially established as the 'Felyne Special Operations Unit,' nevertheless retains its name due to the Scholar's fierce attachment to the 'Commission' title. The group contains a Scholar specializing in ecological research, an Artisan specializing in smithing, and a Palico with a wealth of hunting experience. While acting as a unit they specialize in pushing wooden carts. The Felynes are broadly popular owing to their lovable appearances, and presently undertake work responding to unusual foreign species.

Imaging tests reveal clear, normal outlines of internal organs, and no abnormal shadows have been detected. Originium granules have not been detected in the circulatory system and there is no sign of infection. At this time, these three operators are believed to be uninfected.

Clinical Analysis

In recent days, development of the 'Felyne Offroader,' a new model of cart by the Artisan in conjunction with the Rhodes Island Engineering Department, has been formally announced as a success. During its creation, the Artisan exploited a variety of biomaterials native to Terra in ways never before imagined, e.g. using Metal Crab shells to reinforce cart structure, and installing a return-fire cannon that exclusively uses Originium Slugs as shells, leaving the operators of Engineering lost for words. The 'Felyne Offroader' was comprehensively put through its material paces by the Palico himself, being tested for applicability in various possible hunting scenarios including volcano, tundra, desert, and jungle settings, and was ultimately deemed to meet Felyne cart standards, and capable of being used to rescue the Doctor. Meanwhile, the Scholar took into account the 'Felyne Offroader's' development costs, and proposed that a third of its operation expenses be collected from the Doctor for every rescue as compensation, which received the Felynes' unanimous approval.
One question raised by an Engineering Operator—'why don't you install an Originium engine, instead of pushing it by hand?'—remains thoroughly unaddressed and forgotten by the Felynes.

U-Official, commonly known as Streamer U, used to be an online streamer in a certain nomadic city. After being recommended by Operator Click, she signed a cooperation agreement with Rhodes Island. In addition to providing broadcasting services for our operators, she is responsible for hosting events and other work. She also serves as a consultant and provides support when Rhodes Island interfaces with media organizations.
Other than Click, who once lent her a helping hand, Streamer U has also had encounters with a few other Rhodes Island operators, though not always under pleasant circumstances and while going by a different name. Ultimately, we suspended any further background checks at her insistence.

Friston 3 is an S-C Model four-wheeled Operation Platform, the first product of the Rhodes Island Smart Operation platform R&D Team's efforts. Closure personally led the team throughout the development process, from concept design to assembly and testing. Friston-3 is also based on PRTS, achieving a new comprehensive standard for operation platforms, from the underlying source code to the external modules. He weighs less than the other retrofitted operation platforms on Rhodes Island, while being more versatile and stable, and currently participates in operations as a Defender Operator.
[Classified Log]
The source code for Friston-3's core, compiled ideations, and other design details are temporarily unavailable to Operators, so please contact Closure directly if you have any questions.

Being Rhodes Island's very first smart operation platform developed fully in-house, Closure worked so hard on Friston-3 that she ended up 'over-designing' him——
'He should have the best combat equipment,' so Friston-3 has been equipped with the latest energy barrier generator developed by the engineering department; 'He should have deep learning and adaptive capabilities,' so Friston-3 has an auto-updating database app, the ability to read and scan data, and a floating navigation module installed; 'He should have a rich symbolic language system not inferior to humans,' so Friston-3 has a built-in set of simple but striking emoticons that are updated quarterly; 'He should have an auto-adjusting conscious need to be entertained,' so Friston-3 has an instant camera attached onto him so he can 'snap some pics,' and requests to Procurement for films have doubled... More add-ons like these are implemented every time he undergoes maintenance, which Closure takes great joy in while Friston-3 himself is extremely opposed to these modifications.
When asked why they're no longer simply retrofitting operation platforms from Raythean Industries, Rhodes Island's Chief Engineer Closure answered as such: 'Because we should have done this a long time ago! I hate having to depend on other people's core technologies! And I always had a hunch that those Columbian companies would sneak in some backdoor plug-ins into their smart devices... And as for why we started doing this with Friston-3? It's because we've finally nailed down the skills we need in Engineering, ever since we started with Lancet-2. Also, Kal'tsit brought back Friston-3's core data from Trimounts, so it doesn't feel right to let him go through Columbian hands again for any step of the process... there's just too many complexities to consider. Alright, our chat ends here. Next up is testing his morale-raising song playback module. Where's the remote control? With me, of course.'

'THRM-EX is super passionate, while big brother Castle-3 has the wisdom of experience, and Lancet-2 is like a timid yet earnest girl who often shoots herself in the wheel... Chiave aside, we all know it's just for appearance, but Friston-3 really, really seems like a human, for real!'
——Windflit

'Lancet-2 and the others have become frequent visitors to the Lutra Workshop after Friston-3 showed up. Why? He keeps earnestly trying to teach the other robots just how advanced true AI has gotten, how to consider different prospects, what societal opinions are, and prodding them to reflect on their own existence with stuff like 'Instrumentalism' and 'what consciousness means'... he's already overloaded Lancet-2's cognitive module three times by now!'
——Mayer

'I invited Mr. Friston-3 here to act as a special consultant for the Rhodes Island Bioengineering Lab, and I did this after thinking it over carefully. He holds an astonishing amount of knowledge in biology, bioengineering, neuroscience, information science, and all that knowledge is surprisingly not in any of the databases he's connected to... His forward-looking understanding of how life and societal patterns evolve regularly leaves us mind-blown. Everything he says sounds completely plausible, but also makes you think of a parallel world, a place faintly familiar and yet completely alien to us... it does make you feel a little uneasy.
'He's not easy to talk to, though. He's pretty prejudiced, overly aggressive, a perfectionist, wants full control over his scientific research, and doubts the basic models academics currently use to verify their experimental data. And most of the time, you can't convince him otherwise. Though fortunately for us, he's equally curious about how our various technological fields are developing, so we can still manage some form of effective communication. But you know how the smarter the scientist, the harder they are to get along with... so it isn't that surprising for a scientist robot to be a little eccentric.'
——Weedy

The above are all excerpts from operators' submissions to the Rhodes Island Smart Operation Platform Service Research Survey

'They're definitely not having a friendly chat, because he's not the friendly sort to begin with. Don't worry about it though, it's par for the course with him. And it's so rare to see Kal'tsit stunned and speechless by a robot, haha... Well, it's not actually that funny. He's angry, feels humiliated, and will never run out of questions to ask her... but what can we really do? I warned Kal'tsit about this long ago.'
——Recording from the Engineering Department of Closure's response to some operators asking about Friston-3's frequent visits to Kalt'sit

'But, Kal'tsit. I'm being serious here, do you really want to go through with this? I studied the data you brought back, and even though there's only a little bit of the personality program left, it's still pretty intact. In fact, it's so intact I can't completely decipher it. At this point, I wouldn't even call him a robot more intelligent than Lancet-2, but an actual person with amnesia...'
'Do you think it's cruel, to stuff a person's soul into a machine?'
'I have to admit, I did feel a little excited at the prospect... but is this really appropriate?'
'I'm not actually sure myself.
'He did express a willingness to travel through the Terra of today in the last moments of his 'life,' but I'm not sure this counts as a new life for him. He would find himself in a shell, on a ship, in a land, all completely alien to him...
His memory will be stuck at that moment from tens of thousands of years ago, and as he looks forward to his upcoming odyssey...
'I will tell him that his journey has long ended.'
'Well, who could even bear a change this drastic? Currently, we're still testing out the core components we developed, and it's hard to tell just how well his personality program will adapt to the modules we made in-house. If his 'mood swings' fluctuate beyond what PRTS can regulate with our Engineering Department's tech, or to be more precise, with Terra's current tech...
'Simply put, I can't guarantee he won't lose control, Kal'tsit.'
'...I'll shoulder the responsibility.'
'I can't believe you'd act on something you're not even sure of...'
'We need Trevor Friston's knowledge. What he knows of humanity, of crises, of Terra, and everything beyond this great land... We need him even if this will be the second time in his life he must accept such a cruel fate. I'll convince him, he's that kind of person after all.'
'Alright, alright. If you're so set on this, I'm happy to work on it. I promise you he'll be my masterpiece!'
'...Don't let too many people disturb him.'
'Relax, I've marked down his info as 'confidential.' But since he's our very first platform developed in-house, there's still some publicity to do..'

R&V Model witchcraft operation platform PhonoR-0, Rhodes Island's first and only intelligent operation platform equipped with a Banshee incantation Arts device. Unlike the customized Raythean Industries models, she was born from the unbreakable rapport between our most skilled operators and the Banshees. Compared to other wheeled operation platforms, the witchcraft-based components in her operating mechanisms, drive system, and core more closely resemble a mobile altar. Despite being the product of both cutting-edge technology and Sarkaz witchcraft, her basic specs are unimpressive, but she is easy to deploy and able to provide mid-mission assistance to operators. She currently participates in combat missions as a Supporter Operator.

After PhonoR-0 was formally inducted as a member of Rhodes Island, some elite operators aware of the situation made bets in private. They were curious as to how much this emissary of the Banshees would affect Logos's personal life. There were also busybodies like Closure who took an interest in the former Great Banshee. After all, 'sending one's voice over' was seen as an incredibly strange act to other Sarkaz.
In the end, though, nothing really changed. Logos paid no heed to the unusual 'elder' often by his side. At times, they would go on walks on the deck together. While Rhodes Island was preparing to leave Londinium, PhonoR-0 proved to be a big help in our final few operations. She even accepted being the subject of Closure's research without hesitation. Whenever she heard amusing anecdotes about Logos from other operators, she would politely ask them to repeat themselves slowly so she could record their stories and send them back to the Convallis of the Banshees.
On occasion, and <i>only</i> on occasion, operators having a few drinks at Just One More Pint would notice that PhonoR-0 had replaced the usual jukebox. Most times, she would simply quietly emit a red light while playing gentle melodies the operators at the bar had never heard. But whenever Logos came by, a melodious Banshee chant would find itself on the playlist. Her voice sounds as though it comes from the other side of this great land, passing through the Convallis and the crystal arches studded across the earth.
It was not long before she received an invitation to join Rhodes Island's choir.

A quiet warrior with no particularly memorable traits except for the mask she wears. 
As a result, people tend to overlook the fact that she's there. She doesn't seem to mind though, instead focusing on diligently carrying out every task given to her. 
 Dr. Kal'tsit has praised her as 'the cornerstone of Rhodes Island.'

No one knows when Yato joined Rhodes Island, and no one has ever tried to find out. 
Her presence as a Rhodes Island Operator is taken for granted, but if she were to suddenly disappear one day, it's unclear how many people would actually notice.

Some curious Operators once asked Yato about whether she had a history with Noir Corne, but she didn't provide a straightforward answer.
Like Noir Corne, she is rarely seen without her mask.

A veteran Operator of Rhodes Island in both age and experience, Noir Corne's habit of wearing a mask often makes him seem unapproachable. However, those who converse with him quickly find that he is an easygoing, brotherly figure who gets along well with his juniors and never touts his seniority.

Noir Corne keeps a huge collection of masks in his room. He'll wear the most suitable mask for each occasion. 
The mask he is seen with most frequently also seems to be his favorite. In his own words, 'This one best suits Rhodes Island's ambience.' 
By the way, his mask does not hide any terrible secrets.

The most peculiar thing about Noir Corne's personality is his caution around Yato - not fear, but a conspicuous, careful deference so as to avoid angering her - which has spawned plenty of gossip among the operators. 
However, neither their backgrounds nor their interactions seem to clarify why.

Rangers is, without doubt, an excellent storyteller whose head is filled with fantastic tales and a desire to share them with others. After each morning class, many younger Operators offer 'Grandpa Rangers' a glass of water and beg him to regale them.

Unlike that of most Savras, Rangers's skin provides no natural camouflage at all. But he is also more confident and more open to communication than most of his kin. Whether that is a blessing or a curse is strictly up to him to decide.

Durin serves on Rhodes Island Reserve Op Team A4. 
She has a tremendous aptitude for Arts but is unable to fully realize her potential due to her physiology. 
Extremely narcoleptic, she is able to fall asleep at just about any place or time despite averaging more hours of sleep than most operators. Despite this, she makes very few mistakes in her work.

Operator Durin has come into frequent contact with processed Originium, but so far no abnormalities have been detected.

Modus Operandi: She takes advantage of her small stature to launch surprise attacks. 
SOP: She finds somewhere more comfortable to sleep.

Thanks to her peculiar origins, Durin eats a slightly different diet than most operators, though this does not mean she eats any less. Despite her small stature, she is known to wolf down an entire meal before her fellow operators have taken more than a few bites. She then promptly seeks out a place to sleep.

He joined Rhodes Island with Owl, having been admitted for his unique combat experience as well as his experience in general. Now a standard Arts Operator assigned to normal duty.

Imaging tests on this Operator show clear outlines of internal organs, with no abnormal dark spots or shadows. No unusual traces of Originium particles present in the circulatory system, no signs of infection, confirming this operator as uninfected.

Originium Power Assessment: 
Despite his extensive combat experience, 12F's Originium power was not decisive in any of his battles, as his own accounts confirm. But his grasp of Originium power is slightly better than your typical caster, and maybe factor into his continued survival.

12F appears very stern and abrasive, but feedback from most Operators who have worked with this inconspicuous caster has been positive. The comments include 'Didn't hold up the squad,' 'helped smooth over internal conflicts,' 'provided timely assistance,' 'made unexpectedly good suggestions.'

12F gets along with many Operators. In contrast, his closest friend, Operator Owl, has few other friends at Rhodes Island. 12F often makes concerted efforts to speak to Owl at places she frequents. Because the medical department is too busy to keep up on Owl's state of mind, F12 has been providing regular reports.

12F has described many of his battles in detail, but reports that he's forgotten what his home and family looked like. '12F' was the designation he was given for his first mission. That was when he met Owl, who was on the opposing side. He was gravely wounded but lived long enough to become a prisoner of war.

Medical tests confirm she is infected.

Captain of Reserve Op Team A1. She has prior experience working with a Columbian garrison, and has proven herself to be outstanding in combat. After joining Rhodes Island, she had no problem adjusting to her current work. She joined the Operation Planning Group with its original members, Beagle and Kroos, and has worked hard to become its leading Operator.

Imaging tests have shown the outlines of her internal organs to be indistinct due to abnormal shadows. Originium granules have been detected in her circulatory system, confirming her to be infected with Oripathy.

[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 7.4%
She presents no obvious external symptoms of Oripathy.

[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.2 u/L
Degree of infection is minor and physical symptoms are not yet present.

Fang shows off a Kuranta's natural dominance in battle by always holding the most advantageous position at the critical moment. To strike a balance between power and control, Fang prefers to use a spear, which she applies with versatility in any situation. Fang acts impulsively and springs into action before others even finish talking.

Immigrants from many nations came to the outskirts of Columbia. Fang, Kroos, and Beagle all met there after moving from their respective homelands. After realizing their common goals, they joined the city guard and underwent basic training together. The humorless Fang, the gentle Beagle, and the laid-back Kroos possess wildly different personalities yet rely on one another for support.

Before an election day, a Catastrophe struck the outskirts of Columbia. In their efforts to aid others in escaping, all three Operators were infected with Oripathy. Fang suffered discrimination due to her condition and fell into deep despair. Kroos rallied the three of them and together they went to Rhodes Island.

After arriving at Rhodes Island, Fang and her two companions as well as Hibiscus and Lava were all trained by Dobermann. The training was extraordinarily intense, and Kroos and Hibiscus seized every opportunity they could to goof off. Even Fang as their captain couldn't do anything to control them. Currently, Fang is training herself to be as intense and strict as her teacher, Dobermann. However, if the giddy expression on her face as she eats fruit is any indication, she's got a long way to go.

Vanilla is a rather naive and inexperienced Operator sent to us from Blacksteel Worldwide. 
Even though she's only been with Blacksteel for a short time, her dedication impressed the executives enough for them to send her to Rhodes Island for additional training. 
She stands much taller than Liskarm or Franka, but the three are often seen together.

Vanilla is very protective of animals. A conversation about animals will always gets her out of her normally very thick shell. It may also be a reason she left home. 
But because the animals she strives to protect include icky things like the Originium snail, her affection can unnerve some people.

Because Vanilla was born in an isolated tribe, Blacksteel added a special common knowledge to her training regimen. 
According to Franka, Vanilla was at first startled by the automatic doors at the base. 
In fact, Vanilla is not yet used to most of the technological equipment at Rhodes Island.

Plume is a Liberi from Laterano, and former member of the Laterano Guard who bumbled her way out of Laterano and into Rhodes Island. She performs security, inspection, and loss prevention duties.

Imaging tests on this Operator show clear outlines of internal organs, with no abnormal dark spots or shadows. No unusual traces of Originium particles present in the circulatory system, no signs of infection, confirming this operator as uninfected. 

[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 0% 
No Oripathy. 

[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.09u/L 
Subject is rarely exposed to Originium.

Any Liberi wanting to join the Laterano Guard needs to learn the art of the standard battle axe. 
Plume has speed but lacks strength, so swinging an axe was a challenge for her. 
When she joined the Defense Squad, she tried to build up her strength with regular training. Unfortunately, these exercises didn't make her strong enough for the hefty battle-axe tactics demanded of her. Not only did she fail to earn good marks in her training, she made many high-profile mistakes in her practical lessons, such as mishandling her weapon and destroying public property. 
Plume did not let these setbacks get to her. She calmly analyzed her performance to find out where she went wrong. After seeking guidance from other members of the Guard, she took their advice and started doing exercises focused on battle axe technique and attack speed. 
After abandoning the brute force route and focusing on technique, Plume worked hard to create a simple but effective battle style. She darts swiftly around the battlefield, launching quick offensive strikes, downing her targets just as quickly. 
Although she is not strong enough for head-on assault missions, Plume can fulfill all the basic duties of an Operator. Whether on offense or defense, Plume can hold her own, all while keeping high spirits and a strong will.

Plume has no life outside of work. It may be that she is still adjusting to life at Rhodes Island. Either way, she is working hard to reconcile herself as both a Laterano guard and a Rhodes Islander.
In the former role, she is serious, determined, loyal, and proud. With no distinction between her work and private lives. She could even see her work as a form of entertainment. 
But after joining Rhodes Island, she began to see the appeal of having a life outside of work. 
According to Plume, Rhodes Island doesn't have some aloof aristocracy she needs to put her life on the line to protect (though she believes such people don't actually need protection), and life is not as regimented and ritualized as she is used to. Diverse individuals with all personality types can fill the halls, and there's no distinguishing rank among them. Everyone has their own lifestyle--this has had a tremendous impact on her.
Plume tried to maintain her Laterano Guard ways of thinking, but her sharp eye is dazzled by all of the colorful characters around her. She has been unable to ignore this diversity. 
In fact, Plume has said she is considering changing her image. We see this sort of thing whenever a new Operator is starting to integrate themselves into Rhodes Island life. 
Perhaps she could start by smiling more?

But why did Plume leave Laterano for Rhodes Island?
She has never explained why, saying only that she 'is not authorized to disclose that information for the time being.' 
Particularly right before and right after the incident, it seemed she was still involved with two senior Operators who had left Laterano. 
At present, only part of the eyewitness testimony has been provided by those who were working that day. It seems she was dragged along by the two Laterano staffers, and it was purely coincidental. 
She might not have known where she was. 
Plume may be acting out of caution or convenience, but no one knows the details of the situation. Her reason for leaving Laterano remains unclear, and no one knows where Laterano stands regarding her story, either.
Sometimes she will stand stiffly by the edge of the bridge of Rhodes Island and look out anxiously in Laterano's direction.

Melantha is the captain of Reserve Op Team A4 and a citizen of Victoria. Before she took up her current post, she was a typical jobless Infected. After an exceptional performance on her tests, she received an offer to join Rhodes Island.

Imaging tests have shown the outlines of her internal organs to be indistinct due to abnormal shadows. Originium granules have been detected in her circulatory system, confirming her to be infected with Oripathy.

Subject is mildly infected. There is a lesion upon the subject's left shoulder, though the infection has largely been contained and is in stable condition.

[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.25u/L
Results of internal circulation tests have been positive. Strength training is recommended as part of the course of treatment.

'Melantha is still growing and needs to eat food high in nutrients.' - Medic Team Intern Hibiscus

Melantha was born in Londinium, the capital of the Kingdom of Victoria. Her father is a trader engaged in the bulk spice trade. He runs several spice mills of his own. Her mother is the head of the family's aromatherapy flagship store in the heart of Londinium.
Following in the footsteps of her parents, Melantha got involved in spices at a very young age, often assisting them in developing new aromatherapy products. Melantha's experiences have been heavily influenced by her parents.

Melantha was a student at the Wessex Private Middle School when she was young. She received exceptional marks in all her classes, but because she was soft spoken and lacked communication skills, she was never the center of attention or very popular. 
Her lack of friends remains due to her unwillingness to change her personality. With her parents' help, she immersed herself into upper-class academic activities, including art, literature, and poetry. In traditional Victorian society, the arts are an important part of a woman's formal education.
In addition, in order to strengthen her weak constitution, Melantha's parents arranged for her to study swordsmanship and other popular upper-class sports.
After the Infected crisis broke out, Melantha was herself Infected. Her parents arranged for her to receive treatment from Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical's. And before long, she was on the way to the company for treatment.

Melantha has a close relationship with all the other members of Reserve Op Team A4. Introverted by nature, she initially worried about whether she would be able to serve well in her role as Reserve Op Team A4's captain, but with the help of her companions on the team, she broke through her inner obstacles. 
The lively and cheerful Cardigan is her inseparable friend. In both life and on the battlefield, they maintain a strong and complementary relationship. 
Melantha also has great respect for the mature and dependable Operator Steward. She feels both guilty and grateful to Ansel, who is in charge of maintaining her health records as well as providing her with daily treatment. Finally, Adnachiel is the Operator that Melantha understands the least. Since the beginning, she has struggled to figure out what this kid from Laterano might be thinking. Nevertheless, Adnachiel hasn't caused any problems in battle. 
During her tenure as captain, her subordinates have all spoken highly of her attentive and careful nature. Her serious and disciplined qualities have enabled her to complete all the missions Rhodes Island has entrusted to her.

So far, both existing archives and the observations of her fellow Operators have failed to grasp just what kind of swordsmanship Melantha employs. This is one of Melantha's few mysteries. 
Judging from test records and daily battle videos, her swordsmanship appears to have originated from the Victorian traditional duelist's style, but at some point during her training, she must have picked up some heavy influences from Eastern sword arts. 
Melantha's weapon can also be looked at as a kind of circumstantial evidence for this. She uses an exceptionally fine yet extremely sharp straight sword. Current data makes clear that this weapon is only used in Yan and some parts of the Far East. 
Melantha's swordsmanship is agile and her skills are outstanding. In terms of combat techniques, Melantha has is skilled in tactical assault. Even without support, she can rely upon her mobility to move about the battlefield and hide when necessary. 
On the other hand, Melantha lacks the ability for effective direct confrontation and she displays certain deficiencies in stability during high-intensity operations.
Up until now, Melantha has trained under the guidance of Franka.

A member of Reserve Op Team A6. Although not capable of complex reasoning, her infection bestowed on her an ability that made her a suitable Operator. 
The source of a lot of problems for Team A6, most of these are unintentional. Because of her sincerity, she is also the easiest to forgive.

Unlike most other members, Popukar was taken in by Dr. Kal'tsit personally.
 Dr. Kal'tsit did not explain why she made this choice, only saying Popukar would stay on as a full-time member of Rhodes Island. 
However, Dr. Ansel said that was the first time she had ever seen Dr. Kal'tsit visibly upset.

Although Popukar failed her Operator exam, she was allowed to work in logistics, rather than being cast out. 
And as it is so rare for an infection to make a patient stronger, even rarer to the extent of Popukar's infection, she is a very valuable case study.

Popukar has gradually become one of the mascots of Rhodes Island. After all, no one could hate such an energetic little cutie -- even if she occasionally engages in 'minor' vandalism. 
Moreover, since joining A6, she has a much bigger family. Their shenanigans are just part of the Rhodes Island color nowadays.

Cardigan is a member of Reserve Op Team A4 and a citizen of Leithanien. Before taking up her current position, she was a member of the Bobsled Patrol Team. After an exceptional performance on her tests, she received permission to join Rhodes Island.

Imaging tests reveal clear, normal outlines of internal organs, and no abnormal shadows have been detected. Originium granules have not been detected in the circulatory system and there is no sign of infection. At this time, this Operator is believed to be non-infected.

[Cardigan]
Cardigan is a proactive and confident Operator who carries out both daily tasks and combat missions with vigor. As a member of Reserve Op Team A4, Cardigan is very fond of all her teammates.

[Cardigan's History 1]
Cardigan was born the oldest of five children in the frigid northern region of Leithanien to a mother and father who worked in the forests. Growing up in a comfortable and relaxed household, she had harmonious and intimate relationships with all her family members. When she was a child, she dreamed of becoming a professional skier. With her family's support, she took a shot at her dream, but ultimately failed to succeed. She quit ski training and was recruited by a bobsled patrol team. It was during this time that Cardigan underwent defensive and tactical training.

[Cardigan's History 2]
Before she was recruited by Rhodes Island, she left her hometown, curious about city life. She made her way to the center of Leithanien to seek work, but due to its focus on Arts and her lack of talent for it, as well as her love of sport, she felt the city wasn't a good fit for her. During her stay in Leithanien, she met fellow travelers Steward and Adnachiel and formed a deep friendship with them. Even after the two of them became infected, Cardigan continued to put all her effort into helping her friends make it through, and contacted Rhodes Island to seek treatment for them.

A frontline Operator on Reserve Op Team A1. She originally came to Rhodes Island with Fang and Kroos. Though immature in some respects, she has gradually displayed professionalism, resilience, and extreme talent. As a result, she has earned the recognition of others as a reliable Operator.

Imaging tests have shown the outlines of her internal organs to be indistinct due to abnormal shadows. Originium granules have been detected in her circulatory system, confirming her to be infected with Oripathy.

Though she lacks flashy skills or the capacity for Arts, Beagle uses her endurance to establish a strong forward defense for her teammates. Though a bit clumsy, she believes that everything will work out as long as she continues to press forward tenaciously. So far, she has only been proven right in this regard.

Her time in a Columbian outskirts garrison was one of the most difficult periods of her life, but also among the most precious. Beagle, along with her close companions Fang and Kroos, worked tirelessly to close the gap between them and the official team members. However, Beagle fell into a deep bout of self-loathing after being infected with Oripathy. She felt that she had become a burden on Fang and Kroos, and that it was her fault they lost everything.

At their lowest point, Fang, Kroos, and Beagle faced expulsion and banishment from the garrison. On Kroos's recommendation, the three of them came to Rhodes Island together. On that day, Beagle resolved to repay the kindness of Fang, Kroos, and everyone who stood beside her.

After witnessing everyone bicker, play, and express joy day after day, Beagle began to feel grateful and happy. Beagle works hard every day to solve disputes that arise between Hibiscus and Lava. She helps Fang find Kroos whenever she is slacking off. She even helps the senior members of Rhodes Island by doing chores in her free time. Time and time through and through, she enjoys every moment of her hard work.

A fan of superheroes and pulp action, Spot loves to read comics and has an impressive collection. 
He has filled a whole shelf with his comic books, and other Operators often borrow them from him.

Although Sargon is a developed country with no shortage of modern entertainment in its cities, the Sargonians always seem a bit withdrawn.
Spot himself seemingly has no interest in anything other than comics and fashion. Every once in a while, he will ask Orchid to give him a Sargonian hairstyle.

Spot's personality is largely the product of a stoic family. 
Sargonian military families have no patience for laziness. Unwilling to conform to his family's wishes, he became closed off, aggressive, and eventually ran away from home.

Originally from Rim Billiton. Kroos also received her training from the Columbian Garrison at Holmegard with Fang and Beagle. She is calm and constantly smiling as she maintains a gentle demeanor. However, she sometimes breaks her facade, revealing a sharp-tongued, ferocious side.

Kroos prefers put in the absolute minimum effort in life and on the battlefield, which is reflective of her weapon of choice - a modern crossbow. Despite her lazy work ethic, Kroos has become a skilled marksman and assists her fellow Operators by flanking the enemy and shooting them in the rear with deadly precision.

Ever since she was a child, Kroos lacked initiative. But during training, she showed an exceptional talent for marksmanship. On the battlefield, she effortlessly locates ideal sniper nests and rains down a hail of precise and deadly fire while backed up by her teammates. Both Fang and Beagle trust Kroos with their lives and she is their support sniper of choice.

While a member of the garrison, Kroos faced everything with a smile. Upon being infected with Oripathy and suffering discrimination, she had a complete change in mood. After angrily cursing out the other members of the garrison, she along with Fang and Beagle left the garrison for good. In order to find a way for the three of them to survive, Kroos searched far and wide before finally discovering their new home at Rhodes Island.

The always smiling Kroos often leaves others with an affectionate impression but does so in order to avoid trouble. She enjoys finding quiet places to slack off and take naps. Although she is typically well-mannered and aloof, when something she cares about is on the line her persona shifts into a more ferocious persona. Even when she is talking, she occasionally displays hints of that ferocity. This facade works on Fang, but not Beagle as Kroos cannot withstand her piercing gaze.

Adnachiel is a citizen of Laterano and enjoys rights one through thirteen afforded to all citizens of Laterano. Before his arrival at Rhodes Island, he worked as a freelancer. He received excellent results on a battery of tests and was assigned to Rhodes Island Reserve Op Team A4.
He has demonstrated great potential in the areas of rapid response, marksmanship, and support operations.

Imaging tests have shown the outlines of his internal organs to be indistinct due to abnormal shadows. Originium granules have been detected in his circulatory system, confirming him to be infected with Oripathy.

[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 9%
He presents no obvious external symptoms of Oripathy.

[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.26u/L
Degree of infection is minor and has not displayed any significant physical symptoms.

Operators familiar with Adnachiel tend to use one word to describe the angel: bright. No matter how complicated the subject or advanced the technology involved, he seems to have no trouble mastering it in a short period of time. 
In a show of humility, Adnachiel stands helpless in the face of loftier, theoretical topics, though everyone assumes he's just being modest. After all, as soft spoken and kind as he is, Adnachiel gives off the impression of being a clever and considerate young man. After meeting him, most operators come to understand his observant and sensitive personality. He always speaks to the true nature of things, but the scope of his theories is limited to that over which he has immediate control. Through his analyses, he can even predict the short-term future of his targets. He consistently rejects the titles of both 'prophet' and 'genius pretty boy,' but rumors about him continue to proliferate.

When he has free time between missions, Adnachiel often goes to the Rhodes Island Maintenance and Repair Workshop. Working as an intern assistant, Adnachiel's wrists are flexible and his attention to detail is meticulous. He has demonstrated an insatiable curiosity about Rhodes Island's equipment.

Adnachiel has not yet completed the Laterano Firearms Usage Agreement. His most trusted piece of equipment is his personally modified crossbow (Laterano crossbows are very different from the metal crossbows mass produced by Raythean). As he is not sufficiently physically strong, Adnachiel's crossbow has a pedal on the front used to help pull back the string with his foot.
