Nier: The Last Human Reboot

"Holy cow...What is this?" A voice, muffled by the glass wall of the hibernation chamber, speaks out.

Hello? Sunset struggle to open her eyes: Anyone there?

"Is it an android? I have never seen a model like this!"

"We are running out of time! We must go!"

"But, what about..."

"The machines are catching up! Forget about her!"

Forget about me... Sunset frowns at the thought, her fingers twitch, but her body is still asleep: Do not go...

"What is this?" A young man with short white hair and black clothing taps on the glass: "What kind of model is this?"

"Do not know," A woman with short white hair and black dress comments, her arms crossed: "Maybe some type of abandon project?"

"Just how old is this thing..." The young man runs his hands across the glass wall: "Pod, analysis the chamber."

"Affirmative," A floating box, the size of a laptop, with two tiny mechanic arms attached from beneath replies with a monotoned voice: "Result, the chamber was last rebuilt in 5,500 A.D."

"5,500 A.D?" The young man almost jumps from this revelation, and his voice pitches up: "It is like 6,000 years ago! Is she that old?"

"Negative," The Pod says: "The chamber was last rebuilt in 5,500 A.D. Its actual age is unknown."

"Wow," The young man gently put both hands on the chamber: "That is insane..."

"We should contact the command," The young woman says to her own Pod: "Pod, patch me through to..."

"Wait, 2B!" The young man interprets, shoving the Pod aside.

"What is it?" The woman named 2B groans.

"Well, um..." Panicked at the thought of 2B's imminent wrath, the young man gulped nervously: "Like, we can analyze it, you know? You know, professional curiosity and all, like the other day you analyzed a machine and...you know...em..."

"9S," The woman sighed before switching to a more comforting voice: "The machine I analyzed was of no importance. This, however, is thousands of years old and could hold vital information!"

"I know," The young man dubbed 9S lowered his head and apologized: "I am sorry."

"This thing is old," 2B looks at the chamber and then back at 9S before leaning in: "So be careful not to break it. I will contact the command when you are done."

"Really?" 9S lifts his head in excitement, almost hitting 2B on the chin: "Oh, sorry..."

"It is ok," 2B replies, tilting her head backward: "Just tell me when you are done."

"Roger that!" 9S nods before running towards the chamber.

"Oh, Nines," 2B smiles, leaning against a wall, her eyes focused on the young man, whose attention is now entirely concentrated on the chamber and the being inside.

"Interesting..." 9S mumbles, his hands moving quickly around the body of the chamber, which is covered a strange metal: "There must be a compartment somewhere..." After some trial and error, 9S accidentally set his hand on a square-shaped button. The button glows red, which symbolizes a mistake in reading fingerprints.

"Ok..." 9S took his gloves off and pushed again, and the button emitted a green light. Before long, the glass part was ejected as the being inside woke up.

"9S!" 2Brushes to 9S's side, hiding the confused young man behind her back as a hand emerges from the chambers.

"Wait, 2B!" 9S tries to peek at the mysterious figure from behind: with the help of her hands, the figure manages to push herself out but falls the moment she steps on the ground and struggles to stand up again.

"9S!" 9S managed to slip under 2B's arm and rush to the figure's side.

"Um, hello?" 9S bend down on one knee and waves a hand in front of the figure's eyes: "Can you hear me?"

The figure nods before looking up. Instead of focusing on 9S, the figure looks around blindly.

"Hello?" 9S waves his hand in front of the figure's face but to no avail: "Can you see me?"

The figure rubs her eyes and blinks several times before shaking her head in defeat.

"And can you speak?" 9S asks.

The woman opens her mouth, but her vocal cord is still dormant.

"Ok..." 9S frowns as the woman pounds the ground in frustration: "Hi, Pod, can you scan this unit and generate a damage report? It seems like whatever happened did some damage to her operating system."

"Affirmative," The Pod emits a soft yellow from the blow as the figure frowns in confusion: "Error, the unit in question does not possess an operating system, and her body is composed of entirely of organic matter."

"Talking about system damage," 2B says with a slight tone of sarcasm, slowly approaches the confused pair before ordering her Pod: "Pod, scan the units in question and run system diagnostics for both."

"Affirmative," 2B's Pod affirms before scanning both 9S' Pod and the mysterious figure on the ground: "Result: Unit 9S' Pod is not suffering from system damage. Result: The Unknown Unit does not have an operating system, and it is wholly composed of organic matters. Analysis, Unit 9S' Pod is not in error."

"Now that is peculiar," 9S exhales sharply before talking to the woman on the ground: "Do you have a name?"

The woman nods before moving her finger on the ground to drop the following words: Sunset Shimmer.

"I do not...what?" 9S groans: "Look, let us just get you to the camp and figure something out."

"Analysis," 9S' Pod comments: "The Unit in question was attempting to communicate in Old World English; her name can be translated to Sunset Shimmer."

"Old World English..." 2B gives it a thought before commenting: "9S, are you sure she is understanding thing you are telling her?"

"Um..." 9S purses his lips: "Sunset, right? Can you understand anything I just said?"

Sunset made a face at the absurdity of the statement before nodding in confirmation.

"I think she knows," 9S scratches the back of his head, feeling ashamed for asking that question: "So, let us just go."

"I will carry her," 2B offers.

"Actually, I should be the one carrying her," 9S says: "After all, you are a designated battle type android, and there are many machines outside."

"The machines are docile for now," 2B gets down on one knee, picks Sunset up on her back, and dashes off: "Let us go."

"2B, wait!"
