n the far future, biotechnology advances by leaps and bounds, creating stunning achievements in medical, civil, and military applications. Illness becomes a thing of the past, and genetic modification is as commonplace as cosmetic surgery.

However, like all great advances, unchecked progress and experimentation has led to abuse and corruption. Ultra powerful megacorporations that monopolized the latest biotech have risen to be the great powers of the age, waging secret wars of sabotage, espionage, and deceit to get ahead of each other.

In order to fuel their rampant growth, megacorps develop lethal diseases and viruses, horrific bio-organic abominations, and ever more exotic genetic modifications to both sell to the highest bidder and unleash upon each other.

The rampant proliferation of bioweapons, and the need to contain them, has given rise to a new profession, the BIOWEAPON HUNTER.

You are LEWIS, a Hunter specializing in hunting down biological threats with your T-Doll companion HK!

Well, the Boss wasn't particularly happy about it when you called her, but she grudgingly allowed you a couple days off. You suppose that your figurative slavemaster was tided over when Umbrella's payment got wired to her.

Regardless, it wasn't as if she was going to personally fly out to physically drag you back. That was something she'd probably send Hank to do for her and you were fairly certain you could handle the old man, assuming he didn't go AWOL himself.

That said, Carol and HK were pretty late in coming back, so you decided it was a good opportunity to get some rest yourself. You had taken the other suite and quickly settle into bed.

When you wake up though, you see...

She's lying in bed right next to you. Not in any intimate way, mind you. It seemed like she just laid down without putting any thought into it. Or maybe she wanted to show intimacy but wasn't sure how to convey it. You honestly weren't too sure. Still, she was close enough that you could feel the residual heat emanating from her body, almost like a real human. The engineers that built her certainly spared no expense to maintain the illusion.

"Good morning, Lewis." She says, her eyes wide open and showing no signs of sleepiness at all.

"...morning." You respond.

"Is this about what we talked about before?" You ask as you raise an eyebrow, still staring right at HK.

"Inconclusive." HK responds simply. "I realize that this is not part of my normal pattern of behavior but... I suppose I had something that you would call an 'urge'?"

"An 'urge', huh?" You wonder. "Can T-Dolls even feel those?"

"We are not programmed to. That is a fact." HK says as her body shifts slightly. Was she feeling uncomfortable? "My best hypothesis is that this may be a residual memory from the mindmap imprinted in my processor."

"You're saying that you're being influenced by the person you're based off of?"

"That is a distinct possibility." HK replies flatly.

>That sounds great!
>That sounds a bit concerning.
>Other
>>
>>3352328
>>That sounds a bit concerning.

The real question is if HK wants to develop as her own person, or 'bring back' the original personality. Last thing we need is for both of them clashing to the point HK becomes a mental mess of personalities.

"How do you feel about it, then?" You ask. "Experiencing thoughts that aren't part of your programming?"

"I find myself... uncertain." HK blinks, a dull glow still emanating from her eyes. "Usually something like this would indicate that I am... defective in some way. But I also know that you probably would not consider that a bad thing."

"Of course not." You grin as you instinctively ruffle HK's hair, like you always did with Carol. "I'll always accept you for what you are, HK. No matter what you choose to be."

"That's.. .nice to hear." HK finally smiles, if only slightly.

"Oh dear, what would Lucina think if she saw this, I wonder?" Mom coos from somewhere just out of your line of sight.

You immediately whip your head around, and see Mom leaning over the opposite side of the bed with a amused grin on her face.

"Morning, son." She chuckles.

"Good morning, Mom." You sigh. After all these years of her rampant privacy invasion, you had pretty much gotten used to it. Given what Carol had told you before and what you know now, you couldn't blame her having to constantly check on you deal with her rampant paranoia.

Still, it was nice to see her in a good mood for once.

"Anyways, we ordered a ton of room service because I told Carol she wasn't allowed to cook while we're here." Mom jerks a thumb to the door that would lead into the main living area. "Come on out when you're ready."

"Yeah, sure thing." You nod.

"Would you like to me give you some privacy as well?" HK asks, still lying next to you.

"Nah, it's all right, you can stay." You assure HK.

"Affirmative."

You then take the opportunity to get up and stretch briefly to wake yourself up. You can hear blankets rustling behind you as HK likewise gets up.

You grab your phone from the nightstand, and then you pause, wondering if you should call up somebody...

Finally, Lucina picks up, and the first thing you hear is...the roar of a car engine in the background?

"Lewis, what's going on?" Lucina says cheerfully as you hear the unmistakable sound of rubber screeching against pavement and the wail of a police siren.

"Sorry, am I interrupting something?" You ask with a bit of concern. "It sounds like your busy-"

"No, no, it's fine! Just a little routine traffic stop! Nothing for you to worry about!" Lucina responds.

You... weren't quite totally convinced.

"Lucina, you really should concentrate on the road." ST-AR's voice says calmly in the background.

"We're on speaker, so it should be fine." Lucina grunts. "So what's going on? Not getting into more trouble, I hope."

"Nah, I was just letting you know I'd be back a bit later than expected. Family stuff and all."

"Let me guess. Your mom showed up to complicate things." Lucina groans.

"She did cause some problems for a mutual acquaintance of ours." You say rather vaguely. Even though Mom, Carol, and HK had already swept the entire suite for listening devices, you still couldn't be a 100% sure that your phone wasn't being listened in on.

"Huh, I see." Lucina grunts as there's more tire screeching.

Was that the sound of a bullet whizzing by?

"Lucina, I'm going to have to take the wheel from you if you're going to keep doing this." ST-AR warns.

"All right, all right!" Lucina sighs. "Look, Lewis, I got some stuff to take care of, so we'll talk about this when you get back, okay?"

"Sure thing. Good luck out there." You can't help but grin as Lucina hangs up.

You glance up and notice that HK has already left the bedroom, no doubt joining Mom and Carol outside. You quickly pull a shirt on and head out.

"Lewie! Just in time!" Carol says happily as you see what looks to be a miniature buffet laid out on the main table. "Food's here!"

"All on Umbrella's dime, apparently." Mom smirks as she pours herself a cup of coffee.

"So, so, for the VIPs, they offer meals made out of dinosaur products!" Carol bounces up and down excitedly. "Like, dino meat, dino eggs, all kinds of stuff! It's so coooool!"

Wait, then did that mean-

"My visual scans indicate the food should be edible." HK notes, as if trying to reassure you.

"Tastes kinda like chicken, honestly." Mom shrugs as she takes a bite of dino sausage.

"Wait a minute, so Carol..." You frown as you pick up a plate and start stacking bacon and pancakes on it. "Did you eat an actual live dinosaur while you were here?"

"Mmmmmmm, I ate like, 5." Carol shrugs.

"Umbrella won't be happy about that if they find out." HK warns.

"What, they were gonna destroy them all anyways!" Carol pouts and pats her chest. "At least this way, they'll continue to live on in some way!"

"You just wanted to see what they tasted like. Stop acting so deep." Mom sighs as she slaps Carol lightly on the back of the head.

"Moooooom! Carol whines.

"HK, you've been silent for a while." You turn to the T-Doll.

"My apologies." HK blinks. "I was merely analyzing a map of the area in an attempt to route the most efficient tour path."

"That doesn't sound fun at all." Mom gripes as she sips her coffee. "Where do you all want to go?"

"The beach!" Carol chimes.

"Well, how about you, bolts?" Mom looks to HK.

"I do not have any particular preference." HK points out.

"Man, what a killjoy." Mom rolls her eyes. "Okay, what's the first place you want to go to?"

"The closest location of interest is the aquarium." HK points out.

"I guess it's something." Mom sighs.

"What about you, Mom?" You ask.

"Ah, well..." Mom pauses as her cheeks turn a slight pink. "I heard they had a pretty mean off road course here and it's been so long since I've been able to let loose at the wheel..."

Oh no. You remember very well at how "well" Mom could drive.

Hm, but maybe you should get something for Lucina...?

"Looks like it's a great day for the beach." You say.

"Yay! Then it's decided!" Carol hops into the air happily. "Come on, HK! Let's get dressed!"

"W-wait!" HK yelps as Carol starts pushing her back into the bedroom to change.

"Well, this is going to be interesting." Mom gives a sly grin. "Bet you're wishing Lucina were here, huh?"

"Heh, you're just so easy to read." Mom chuckles. "But look, if you're serious about making things work with Lucina-"

"Mom." You sigh.

"I'm not gonna stop you. Not this time." Mom continues. "You're a big boy now. You have the right to make your own fuckups."

"Well, when you put it that way..."

"At least you'll have me and Carol to drag you out of it." Mom smiles softly. "It wasn't a luxury I had when I was your age."

"Yeah. Thanks, Mom." You smile.

"Okay! Let's go!' Carol says as she kicks open the door. Both she and HK were now wearing light jackets to cover themselves up. Well, in a relative fashion. Their bare legs were exposed for all to see, and of course Carol's and HK's were practically perfect. After all, Carol could look whatever she wanted and HK was literally designed that way.

"Hey, give me and Lewis a chance to get changed." Mom chuckles as she ruffles Carol's hair.

"Heheh!" Carol giggles. "And Lewis, no peeking! Our swimsuits gotta be a surprise!"

"Fine, fine." You roll your eyes. "I won't peek. Promise."

"Heheh, I'll keep you to that!" Carol giggles.

Mom was already gone, having returned to her bedroom suite to change. You follow suit, heading over to your own bedroom to get changed. It doesn't take long for you, though. You just had to put on a simple pair of swim trrunks. Honestly, in this case, guys really had it easy.

Still, you found your mind wandering, regardless. It suddenly hits you that you were going to the beach with three of the arguably most beautiful women on the planet. There was Carol and HK, both literally engineered to be as perfect as possible, and Mom certainly was quite the looker herself, despite her age.

And they were also all related to you in some way or another.

You suddenly couldn't shake the feeling that this day was going to be a long one...

And so you find yourself walking down the resort's main avenue towards one of its main attractions, the large tropical beach. The sun was bright and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky, with a cool ocean breeze blowing. Perfect outdoor weather for a place like this.

You were taking the lead as Mom, Carol, and HK trailed slightly behind. They were all still wearing shorts and light jackets as casual wear, opting to hide their swimwear until they reached the beach proper.

However, there was one important difference, in that Carol, well, wasn't Carol.

"Come on, Mom." Carol pouts, her now black hair fluttering in the wind. "I wanna go out in my normal form!"

"And attract a small army of paparazzi? Not a chance." Mom sighs as she ruffles Carol's hair.

Carol was now in one of her "secondary" appearances, one you vaguely remembered in your younger days. With long, flowing black hair, purple eyes, and snow white skin. She was practically a spitting image of Mom if she were ten years younger, not that Mom didn't already look ridiculously young for her age.

"I concur." HK nods. "Give the need to keep your and Lewis' natures confidential, additional public scrutiny would not be conducive to operational security."

"But stiiiiiilll!" Carol's pout intensifies. It was honestly really weird seeing someone wearing Mom's face making that sort of expression. "Come on, Lewie! Back me up here!"

"I think you look cuter this way, Carol." You chuckle.

Carol's face instantly turns pink like her preferred hair color and she haughtily crosses her arms and pouts. You can't help but pat her little head.

"Hmph! Meanie!" Carol grumbles, but takes no form of resistance at the contact.

You're about to laugh at Carol's response when you feel a sharp smack to the back of your head, courtesy of Mom.

"OW! What the hell, Mom?!" You yelp.

"Don't you go all fucking Oedipus on me." Mom grunts, her face also a nice shade of pink.

"So does Lewis prefer companions with a smaller body type...?" HK wonders aloud as she looks down at her own body.

You get the feeling your little comment backfired far more than you imagine it would have.

"HK, don't think too hard about it." You tell her. "It was just a joke."

"Noted." HK nods.

Thankfully, the beach was starting to come in view. The salty sea breeze, the sounds of crashing waves, and the endless buzz of people all clear signs. Also, as part of your special Umbrella privilege, you had access to a plot on the beach exclusively owned by the resort you were staying in. A quick scan of special wristbands you were wearing, and the guard on duty lets you through the gate.

The difference was like night and day. On the public side of the cordon, it was packed to the brim with vacationers, with barely any space in between the endless carpet of beach towels and umbrellas where tourists have staked their claims on the sand.

On your side, though, there was more than enough space.

"Yay! Let's do this!" Carol says as she happily strips off her jacket.

Mom does so with slight reluctance, and you can see that Carol seemed to have deliberately picked a matching swimsuit, both of them wearing black bikinis that matched their hair.

HK's, meanwhile, showed that Carol's eye for style was still strong, as well. She had a dark blue bikini with white striping, creating a contrast with her silver hair.

You had to remind yourself not to stare at them too much. They were all family in a way to you, after all.

"So, what do you twerps plan on doing?" Mom asks as she stretches, inadvertently showing of her lithe build.

"I wanna go swimming!" Carol chirps.

"I'd like to observe this new environment." HK says simply.

"Huh, well, I'm sorta in a mood to wreck some bimbos at volleyball." Mom grins. "What about you, Lewis?"

"Well, I guess I can go wreck some nerds with you on the court, Mom." You shrug. "You're gonna need a partner, anyways."

"Heh, pretty thoughtful of you." Mom grins.

"I'll go swimming, then!" Carol says happily as she dashes off towards the water.

"Hey! No transforming or eating the wildlife, okay? You'll ruin your appetite!" Mom tuts.

"Okaaaaay!" Carol replies, totally not listening.

"I will stand guard over your belongings, then." HK says obediently as she lays out a beach towel with perfect precision.

"All right, let's go get a match or two in." Mom pats you on the shoulder. "Don't wanna leave Carol out there alone too long. She might try looking for sharks to eat."

"Really...?" You blink as you follow Mom to the area set aside for beach volleyball courts. There were already quite a few people there...

"Hey theeeeeeeeeeeere, Lewis!"

You freeze when you hear the very familiar voice of SOPMOD and you reluctantly turn to see the T-Doll waving at you from one of the courts, her black metallic arms clearly visible now.

And standing next to her was Hunk, bare chested but still wearing his Umbrella gas mask. It was... a rather sight.

"Friends of yours?" Mom raises an eyebrow.

"Just some Umbrella mercs I work with from time to time." You reply.

"Umbrella, huh?" Mom raises an eyebrow.

"Ohmygosh, who IS this?" SOPMOD asks as she shuffles forward, ogling Mom with a curious stare. "Hey heeeey, Lewis, tell meeeeee!"

You glance at Mom and she just gives a casual shrug.

"Uh, this is my mom, Alice." You awkwardly introduce her.

"NO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY." SOPMOD gasps as she shuffles forward even closer to Mom. "You look WAY too young to a mother! Seriously! You gotta be packing some super expensive mods or something!"

"Ah, well, it just sorta turned out that way..." Mom mumbles.

"SOPMOD, what have I told you about interacting with strangers?" Hunk grunts. "Don't crowd up to them like that."

"Sorrrrry!" SOPMOD winks. "So, you two looking for a game or something? Me and Hunk here have been SUUUUUUPER bored. Poor guy here doesn't have any idea what to do with a company enforced vacation! Can you believe that?"

"You didn't have to mention that." Hunk grumbles.

"So about it? I can tell your Mom's got a serious hitting arm!" SOPMOD giggles.

You see Mom visibly wince at that. You're pretty sure SOPMOD was just using an expression and didn't actually suspect the true nature of Mom's Invader arm.

"So? How about it?" SOPMOD asks.

"All right, you're on." You grin. "Mom, you think we can take 'em."

"Oh, of course." Mom grins as she cracks her knuckles. "I can easily deal with a tin can."

"Heheheh, I like her already!" SOPMOD giggles as she dashes to her side of the court.

From what you can see, Hunk looked to be taking up the forward position near the net, which made sense. His larger build and slower speed meant he was more suited to block incoming shots. Meanwhile, SOPMOD could use her superior speed to respond from the backline.

On the other hand, you and Mom seemed to be on par, at least by physical size. You had some pretty big strength and defensive boosts thanks to your biomods, but Mom was a goddamn magical girl with an Invader arm, so you didn't really have a good judge of your capabilities compared to hers.

"Don't sweat it, Lewis." Mom shrugs, already guessing at your concerns. "Just take whatever position makes you comfortable.

"I'll take the front, then." You say.

Mom leaps into the air, and you can only watch in awe as she slams her palm into the volleyball massive force, making a sound like a miniature thunderclap. For a brief second, you could see her arm morph, flexing unnaturally as it carried out Mom's movements.

The volleyball speeds towards the net with the force of a cannonball, and you wouldn't have blamed anybody diving for cover rather than trying to block it.

But Hunk was not the type of man to back down from impossible odds.

Hunk leaps up to block the shot, and it sort of works. The ball hits him square in the chest, and if the ball was served by anyone who was Mom's lesser, it would have easily bounced off and back towards your side. But in this case, the ball was carrying so much momentum, it knocks HUNK backwards and he drops into the sand, the ball plopping down right next to him.

"Oh my goooooooooooooood!" SOPMOD gasps. "You killed Hunk!"

"I'm still alive." Hunk grunts, clearly in pain.

"Shit, I think I overdid it." Mom says with a clear lack of concern. You can see she's clearly trying not to visibly smile.

"So, you gonna get up?" SOPMOD asks her partner.

"I think I'll just lay here for a bit." Hunk wheezes.

"Damn, guess I really did overdo a little." Mom winces as she massages her shoulder. "Guess I should quit while I'm ahead and check on Carol."

Well... it didn't seem right leaving SOPMOD alone on the beach. Not only did you feel a bit sorry for her being left alone, but you were also a bit concerned of what she'd get up to if she got bored without supervision.

"So uh, you okay there, Hunk?" You ask the Umbrella mercenary as he lays on the ground.

"Don't worry about me." Hunk coughs. "I've been hit with worse."

"Whatever you say." You shrug as SOPMOD trots over and plants an umbrella next to Hunk to give him some much needed shade.

"Well, looks like it's just us two, then!" She chirps happily. "What should we dooooo?"

"Well, I actually need to go check on HK and make sure things are okay on her end." You say.

"What? Boooooring." SOPMOD rolls her eyes.

"I'll throw in some ice cream." You offer.

"Oh, you really do know how to get a girl's attention!" SOPMOD's mood instantly reverses. "All right, let's go, then!"

You grab some ice cream bars from a passing vendor, making sure to grab an extra for HK and you and SOPMOD start making the trek across the sand to where HK had set up.

"So, just curious, but how exactly are things going on between you and HK?" SOPMOD asks casually as she takes a big bite out of her ice cream bar, munching it with those fanged teeth of hers. "You still trying to pretend she's a real person?"

"I don't have to pretend, SOPMOD." You say simply. "Who are you trying to convince, here?"

"Ooooooh, I didn't expect you to go deep like that." SOPMOD chuckles. "Guess I shouldn't be surprised, though. You aren't Hunk, that's for sure."

"Are you actually happy working with Hunk?" You raise an eyebrow.

"He ain't an asshole, if that's what you mean." SOPMOD shrugs. "He always makes sure that I'm in tiptop shape all the time, but I don't doubt for a second he'd ditch my ass if I end up being a burden to him."

"And you're okay with that?" You blink.

"Well, it's a nice feeling being useful to someone." SOPMOD shrugs.

"Until you're not." You point out.

"So I'm gonna ride that feeling as far as I can take it." SOPMOD responds casually. "Just cause we don't age doesn't mean we don't have an expiration date. Just enjoying things until mine rolls around!"

However, before you can respond to that, you finally reach the spot HK had claimed. She's simply sitting on her towel reading a book.

However, you do notice quite a gathering of young men around her. After all, now that you think about it, HK was designed to look incredibly attractive. She was doing a good job of ignoring them, but you're guessing that it was more of her single mindedness and lack of social maturity than anything else.

"Oh boy, are we gonna ride in and save our fair maiden?" SOPMOD gives a murderous grin.

You decide to pause and see how HK reacts. It's difficult to hear from the distance you're at, but you could guess that it was just a bunch of rich tourists trying to hit on what they presumed to b ea pretty loner girl.

However, HK continued to ignore, or more accurately, be completely unaware of the romantic advances directed at her. Some of the guys soon lose interest and wander off for better opportunities. There's still a knot of about six though, that stubbornly stick around.

Unfortunately, one of the guys seems to lose his patience and puts his hand on HK's shoulder, gripping it tightly.

You at once realize this was a gigantic mistake on his part, as you see HK's body stiffen and her eyes widen for a brief second. Her response is preprogrammed and swift, her hand reaching out and grabbing the guy's wrist. You can hear the snapping of bone from where you are a split second before the bloodcurling scream.

"Niiiiiiiice." SOPMOD whistles, genuinely impressed. "You know, maybe she ain't so boring after all!"

"Not the time, SOPMOD." You seethe.

Already, one of the victim's friends was dragging him away from the scene, but the others remained, obviously angry about what happened to their friend. HK merely stared blankly at them, waiting for them to make the first move.

This was a dangerous situation all around.

Crap, the last thing you needed was these guys to try and rough up HK. They'd all end up in the hospital or worse. However, you didn't have much time to to really formulate a plan.

You could make your presence known and try to intimidate them into backing off, but these guys already had their blood up and might not necessarily be in any mood to de-escalate.

In light of that, you could probably ambush them from behind and physically chase them off or knock them out before they could get seriously hurt. Either way, you would have to act fast.

Damn, well, your best bet to not escalate was to try and get them to back off. You start to walk forward when SOPMOD speaks up.

"All right, just don't cause any permanent damage." You warn.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful!" SOPMOD sweetly assures you.

You're not quite convinced, but you don't have time to argue as you arrive at the site of altercation.

"Gentlemen." You say calmly and politely. "Do we have a problem here?"

The little gang men turns to face you, anger in their eyes.

This was going to be tricky.

You don't back off, though, and take another step forward, trying to puff up your body as much as possible to make yourself look larger.

"I don't appreciate you harassing my friend." You growl. "If you leave now, I won't call the cops. Or the hospital."

"S-she started it!" One of the guys yells, pointing at HK. "She broke my buddy's hand!"

"And we'll break a LOT more than hands if you keep pressing your luck!" SOPMOD says cheerfully as she visibly flexes her clearly robotic hand into a fist. "I could always use a few more souvenirs, too! An eyeball from each of you would be nice!"

"Fuck this, I don't want to mess with these crazy bitches." One of the guys grunts and storms off.

This seems to gives the rest of the group the excuse they need and they break off as well, still muttering insults and slurs but otherwise departing peacefully.

"Your intervention was not necessary." HK notes. "I had already gauged that they had a 2% chance of success if the confrontation turned physical."

"Yeah, well, thankfully it never got physical." You sigh.

"Boy are you ungrateful!" SOPMOD rolls her eyes as she plops down on the towel beside HK. "Man, I'm beat! Guess I'll just take a break here!"

"Why is she here?" HK asks you.

"I just wanted to come along to pester you!" SOPMOD giggles.

"I didn't want to leave her running around unsupervised." You explain.

HK then turns to face SOPMOD again, who just stares back before holding out one of the spare ice cream bars she had been carrying.

"Ice cream?"

Well, this was going to be interesting...

In all honesty, I kind of see Lewis looking kinda like P5's Joker.

Just throw in a bit of blood whenever we get some of his crystallized flesh forcibly removed.

Of course Lewis has those sparkles! Just don't tell any infatuated women that the sparkles are essentially crystal dandruff.

Do you believe that Carol is kind of person to be secretly jealous of Lewis for finding a romantic partner to be with?

I'm thinking that she's been clingy lately so she spends as much time with her family as possible due to everyone's comparative life spans.

I bet she'll be just fine. We should only really worry if we receive a phone call from STAR that she's hospitalized. That'll be the day that everyone in the RPD will know that Lewis and Lucina are seeing each other.

Honestly, I'm more concerned for her mental health. God knows what sort of pressure she's going through with her job. Nevermind the expectations put on her for being peak human.

>>3358309

If we need her to blow off some steam, there's always the previously mentioned camping trip to the scenic Arklay Mountains. Just the two of them, and nature. No news crew, no hustle and bustle of city life, no social status, and no violent BOWs trying to murder them all.
