How about now?
But then Fragile dies, doesn't she?

They aren't directly linked, its just that they have a suicide pact if either is working for Sixo again. So if Liveryn dies and Fragile doesn't know of Sixo's involvement or Sixo isn't involved, she's clear
Happy to see the Nikke who puts the Failure in Girlfailure Liveryn here, unsurprised she's delivering virus bomb packages. Hoping that with this Commander she might be able to develop as a person, or barring that, at least decide the side with Gachaman is the more profitable side to be on

Within the next thirty minutes, Counters - that is, Rapi, Anis, Renamon and I - find ourselves at an entirely different elevator than the first one we used. Maiden left to report back to Ingrid after she got her phone back from me, and Poli left for the precinct to prevent anyone else from drinking that coffee. We agreed to meet back up after the mission to try and locate Liveryn and prevent her from giving any further virus bombs.
For now, we wait here for our last two squadmates. It is taking a bit of time, so half of us are leaning against any place that is a comfortable height. Renamon decided that sitting on a short pillar would be the best option, while Rapi stays standing, staring straight out at the hallway.
Anis speaks up, her voice trying to stay upbeat but subtly wavering. "So, keeping an eye out for other problems?"
"Two Corrupted Nikke attacked the Commander specifically in the short time that we were in the Ark," she responds, her brow furrowing. "And Marian's hands were moving toward his neck before she grabbed the gun. That's three times, and that makes a pattern."
"Can you prove she was reaching toward his neck?" Renamon asks, tilting her head.
"…no," she admits, frowning deeper. "Her arms twitched toward his face, so it isn't clear what she was trying to do."
"So right now it's just a coincidence," Anis says, despite sounding more tense than she was before. "Can't fault you for being cautious, though."
"Cautious about what?" A familiar voice says that causes the woman in yellow to tense up. As one, we all turn to see iDoll Ocean walking up, her body successfully repaired.
"The Nikke that attacked us," I carefully respond.
She works her mouth for a moment before shaking her head. "That doesn't make sense. Didn't she get shot by the other Commander?" I nod once, and she grips the straps to two medical boxes on her body. "Then why would you have to worry about her?"
"We don't," Anis snaps at her, a fiery storm of anger in her eyes. "We are worried about other Corrupted Nikke, you dumb-!" She cuts herself off, taking deep breaths before turning back to me. "So, who's our last member?"
"I don't actually know," I admit, rubbing the back of my neck. "I was going to ask Poli, but Ingrid said she already chose someone to be our fifth."
"They can do that?" Renamon asks, surprised.
"They have as much power as the Deputy Chief," Rapi responds. "If Ingrid wants to assign someone to us, we can't refuse."
"They're trying to kill us," Anis suddenly blurts out, forcing everyone's eyes to move to her. "Grouping us all together again? Sending us back up to the surface? Exceeding the amount of Nikkes that are allowed by the Central Government?" She gestures to thin air, her hands clenching angrily. "They want to have us all killed without anyone noticing!"
"What reason could they possibly have for doing that?" Shifty's voice cuts through Anis's rant.
"Gah!" The shortest blonde yelps, looking panicked. "You scared me! Where did you even come from?"
Their operator calmly explains to her, "I heard there's a new mission, so I came to assist." She continues, as though explaining a complicated subject to a toddler. Or maybe just algebra. "If they wanted you dead, you'd be dead already. They wouldn't bother with sending you back up to the surface." What, would they send Corrupted Nikkes our way, instead? "In other words, this is a normal operation."
"Normal as can be," Anis mutters, and I pat her shoulder reassuringly.
Rapi, ever the dutiful soldier, responds diligently. "If it's an order, I'll follow it." Her gaze drifts to me, her expression falling to something far more concerned. "But Commander… are you okay with this?"
"As far as I'm concerned, you're my family." The words spill out of me without a single thought, but I find that I do not disagree with any of them. I offer each of the girls a smile, placing a hand on my chest as I bow gratefully. "I believe in each and every one of you."
"Hey now!" Anis yelps, blushing in a rather adorable manner. "Where'd all that confidence come from all of a sudden?" She chuckles, punching my shoulder lightly. "Well we trust you too, Commander. For the time being, that is," she teases.
"Wait," Rapi interrupts, turning her head to the only way to the elevator. "Someone's coming." Anis hums in acknowledgment as we all turn to look at the person rounding the corner.
I blink at the surprisingly white uniform of the girl who appears, who looks slightly shorter than Anis. She startles when she sees us all staring at her, but recovers quickly enough. One hand adjusting her red framed glasses and brushing her white hair behind her ear, she introduces herself. "Hello. My name is Neon. I was sent to take part in this investigation." She smiles brightly, closing her blue eyes in the process. "Nice to meet you."
Shifty clicks her keys for a moment. "I got the personnel transfer notice just now. Is she wearing a white sailor outfit?"
"With a skirt and matching cap, yes," I respond.
"That is her," she confirms.
I nod and reach my hand out to our latest member, smiling warmly. "Welcome to the team." She promptly brightens up and grabs my hand with both of hers, shaking it once before letting go.
"Thank you, Commander!"
Meet all of Squad Counters! Gain a Silver Random Ticket!
I smile, looking out over my team. So this is what the real Squad Counters looks like, is it? I like it. And hey, maybe this roll will help us out further? I let it spin.
Anis interrupts my thoughts as she reaches past me to poke Neon's shoulder. "Hey. What type of Nikke are you, anyways?"
Neon seems to fluster for a moment before she tilts her head slightly, hiding her eyes as the light glints off her lenses. "Ah, yes, I believe I'm a spy."
…what. I am so stunned I miss the window with my roll again.
Anis looks just as dumbfounded as I feel. "Huh?"
Neon continues as if none of us are staring at her in disbelief. "My boss, Ingrid, instructed me to do my utmost in assisting you, after which I am to report back to her." She smiles brightly at the five of us. "This is what a spy does, no?"
Anis slowly pulls her hand back, quite uncertain. "I… guess so?"
"I've always wanted to be a spy!" She proclaims like someone who achieved a childhood dream. "I'm looking forward to working with you all. I'll try to be the best spy I can!"
I cannot help myself, smiling at her enthusiasm. "I look forward to working with you as well."
Anis decides to pull me off to the side, staring me down intensely. "You sure this isn't going to be a problem down the line?"
I chuckle and pat her head, making her hiss and duck away. "Don't worry, we can just all sign the contract. That should help us out, at least."
"And you think she won't just tell Ingrid?" She jabs me in the chest, making a valid point.
In exchange, I offer my rebuttal. "There is a good chance she'll tell, but I have to show some amount of trust." I wilt under her squinted gaze, knowing that she is judging me, and offer my other reason. "I don't want to lose you girls. I don't want to lose anyone ever again."
Her expression loses a measure of its ferocity, and she sighs, crossing her arms under her ample- I swiftly avert my gaze to her face, catching the amused smirk before she becomes serious once more. "Commander, I don't think compromising your secret is worth a chance of bringing us back."
"It's not just a chance," I try to convince her. "It's a guarantee that you will be back to life in two days, a full heal in a day as long as you're in the familiar space, which might very well be a separate plan of reality for protection, and an increase in power due to the Summoner trait I just got."
Her brow twitches twice. "And you didn't signal that you got said trait why?" I start sweating as I recall that I did indeed promise to mention whatever I got. She glares into my eyes for a long moment before sighing, holding out her hand. "Fine. Give me the damn contract."
I nod and quickly hand it over, watching as she snags a pen from a nearby clipboard and signs the contract. She freezes, eyes moving to her hands in awe as Rapi discretely takes the pen and signs as well.
Get Anis of Counters as your Familiar! Gain one Silver Random Ticket!
Get Rapi of Counters as your Familiar! Gain one Gold Random Ticket!
I blink owlishly at both Rapi's action and the messages, not having expected her to jump into signing like that. I look at Anis, but she seems stunned into silence by her sudden enhancement. Shoulders drooping slightly, I turn to the last two members of our squad. "Did you two want to sign, too?"
"Why?" Ocean asks, slightly wary due to Anis's reaction.
"You can become stronger," I try to shorten my explanation, "and free repairs in exchange for becoming my Familiars."
Finally! Respect the Capitals!
I mentally wave her off as the two look at each other. Neon walks forward and takes the pen, eyes gleaming. "Anything for more firepower!" Fire what? Before I can ask for clarification, she signs her name, humming happily.
Get Neon of Counters as your Familiar! Gain one Silver Random Ticket!
Ocean looks at each of the others, fidgeting slightly as she tries to convince herself. In the meantime, I roll the tickets I just got, wondering if Nandi can show me that one I missed.
Sure thing!
Thanks, Nandi. Alright, so what I got for meeting the full squad is…?
[Arc Reactor]
|Elite Item|
MCU - The Arc reactor is a revolutionary technology created by one of the greatest minds of the universe, Tony Stark. Even a tinker would find it difficult to replicate the technology due to the new element. The Reactor is so efficient that it can run indefinitely without replacement and provide more than 5 gigajoules of energy per second.
Thank you? Good to know I have my own personal generator, I suppose. How much is a gigajoule, anyways?
The average household uses about forty to ninety gigajoules.
Five gigajoules does not seem like much, then.
Each year.
…I stand corrected. I hope my embarrassed blush is not visible as the first roll ends.
[Omni Phone]
|Rare Item|
A mobile phone that has everything you need, being able to connect to a network regardless of distance, more storage space than you can count in numbers, a firewall that would take a machine god an aeon to crack and enough processing power to make a supercomputer blush.
Oh neat, upgrade to my current phone. I will have to wait until we are up on the surface to pull it out, but it is a great device to have. On top of that, this should help put Dragon quite a bit!
Ah, Ocean's looking to me for reassurance. I offer her a warm smile, hoping to let her know that I will accept whatever she decides. She looks to my right just as the next roll ends.
[Heat Object]
|Common Ability|
Allows you to heat up any object by touching it. The more energy you expend, the hotter and faster you can get the target object to heat up.
Helpful? I don't know, seems like just a facet of Wind Alteration, all things considered. Maybe something to use if I specifically need that and nothing else?
…yeah, I have nothing.
Oh, Ocean is grabbing the contract, so she must have decided to sign it. Why does she look so panicky? I glance at Anis to my right, noting her putting on an innocent facade. She smiles at me. I narrow my eyes at her as the last roll ends. What did she do?
[Bitch Breaker]
|Uncommon Trait|
Sometimes all a bad attitude needs is a good pounding. You are an expert at correcting attitudes through sex correction.
My train of thought derails instantly, and I can feel my face burn up from my blush. Anis gives me an odd look, but that does not matter because what the heck is this trait!? Is it possible to forget I ever got this?
Nope.
I feel myself deflate at this. Darn it. I guess Ocean is currently signing, so that's always a good thing, right? Right?
Get Yoyo of Counters as your Familiar! Gain one Bronze Random Ticket!
See, good news, even if it is only a bronze ticket. I roll it, gently patting Ocean on the shoulder as I gesture toward the elevator. We all pile on as I figure out how to explain my blessing to the newest members of my squad.
[Junimo]
|Common Familiar|
Stardew Valley - Junimos are lesser forest spirits and are called the keepers of the forest. They are supernaturally good at maintaining forests, wildlands, and farms, as well as farming effectively, but lack any offensive abilities. You get 50 Junimos, and that number increases as you get stronger.
Could be helpful, if I ever start a farm or maybe a grove. Maybe I could make a fruit or something and ask them to plant it or something? I wonder what they look like.
My mind keeps returning to that last message, and I turn to my friends, asking the question that is on my mind.
"Who is Yoyo?"
AN: So... family issues caused this one to have issues. I didn't have the energy for rewriting everything, so I hope you are alright with the current version.
Side note, I reworded one of the descriptions because honestly, it was too crass for my tastes. Hope that isn't an issue.
For now, we wait here for our last two squadmates. It is taking a bit of time, so half of us are leaning against any place that is a comfortable height. Renamon decided that sitting on a short pillar would be the best option, while Rapi stays standing, staring straight out at the hallway.

Lel, Anis is about to fuck her up (again)
