Stop talking stop talking stop talking stop talking it's like the screaming it's not real it can't be real it has to be fake. Just another hallucination.

Stop it, stop it, stop it! It's not real! It's not... just stop...

Not Aigis, then... Aigis was - is - blonde. And she was pretty sure she was the last, too.

[fridgeninja]

Maybe she was from the past. Or a different timeline?

[seestheworld]

Or Aigis isn't aware she's still alive. We were at Tsukishima when she woke up, and I doubt that was their only... storage facility, for lack of a better phrase.

Might be Labrys. Risette's met her, but she didn't wake up again until after our time. [So barring Liminal Space shenanigans, Minako's unlikely to ever meet her.

Not that Shinji's gonna spell that out on the network. She'd come kick his ass.]

From what Risette said, I think the researchers managed to give Labrys PTSD and not actually give a fuck that they'd done it. But knowing what they did to their human test subjects, why would they've been any nicer to the robots?

[seestheworld]

I'm sorry I missed her.

[She could have told Aigis about her when she was here, assuming Aigis hadn't known already. Too late now.]

I was going to say they might have been even worse, but I don't think they saw any of their "test subjects" as anything but raw material.

[With the possible exception of Mitsuru, and even she'd been put through hell.]

[fruitknife]

Going with 'they were almost definitely even worse.' At least with humans you know they already have a soul. [Well. Most of them.]

Wouldn't be surprised if they got all baffled when 'give a robot a personality' worked and that personality fucking hated them for it.

[seestheworld]

Yeah, but I'm not sure how much they actually cared that they did.

[Maybe some individual scientists might have, but as a whole? Probably not.]

Probably.

[fruitknife]

They didn't. September wasn't the first time I met Chidori. [Nor was October the first time he met Takaya, but why talk about his pasty ass if they don't have to.]

But there's still a possible level of... something there that isn't when you start with a hunk of metal and plastic. Hell, they probably thought they were giving the kids something better than what they had.
