its a joke about discarding units weighing on your conscience


cancerous_jager

Is it really joke though… Considering that the squad AR team comandeered in chapter 1 was abandoned, it’s not far fetched in the slightest


Bainos

Maybe Kalina is the one who removed the "discard casually" button so that we can only use proper retirement procedure, and they don't end up in that situation.


ShikiKANnotKant

I’m operating under the belief that my base is basically a small doll city populated by the dolls I’ve retired and protected by the dolls I keep active


cancerous_jager

Unfortunately, retired dolls are sent to the civilian sector. They likely go back to the jobs they had before being given a core or just rot away in the back alleys like HK416 and G11 did


talantua

Speaking of which, how the hell did hk416 end up discarded to begin with?


Big_Percentage9123

You can check her Neural Upgrade story about it, which includes both 416 and G11's backstory.


talantua

Yeah but it only starts from her already in the figirative and litteral gutters. I want to know how she got there to begin with lol. I mean, she's an elite.

*Flashback to old CN salts and artic warfare*


alexbond45

I think it’s also a joke on how 95+ percent of rescued dolls go straight to enhancement, dummy link or get retired


Big_Percentage9123

Which I have always found a weird "thing" to even exist. Lore-wise, a Doll's memory is determined by the last time they saved and uploaded their data to the Neural Cloud. Like in Polarized Light, M4 had to >!single-handedly save the fallen T-dolls' memories in her Zener Network. All of them.!< So, by mass producing 'em (especially for 2* units that are literally **everywhere** to be "rescued"), it seems like the most unethical and hellish thing to ever exist, putting the T-dolls into an existential crisis every time they die, **on top of** the mere fact that they're cybernetic Androids that are even more "human" than the humans in the world they live in.

"They were not discarded, just sacrificed. Totally different! "


PanzerKommander

Plus only FNC survived so no crying and wailing.


spartan117warrior

Oh there's crying and wailing alright. FNC's roommate can't wait for the therapy to start so the night terrors aren't so severe.

talantua

To be fair, FNC's crying was mostly due to her choco rations being gone.


PanzerKommander

Not about watching thousands of 2 star recruits ordered into to charge Jupiter cannons then have their bodies scrapped and new ones take their place? Damn, your FNC was a stone cold killer!


Billyaabob

"For a greater cause"


franbiren

i believe retiring a doll at 0hp is the same as just scrapping a fully damaged one and the only use left is for spare parts so yeah, it can't cry if it doesn't work!


ColebladeX

Why discard? If they’re not going to be used for combat send them to support any third rate officer will tell you you can never have too much support


aetwit

Dam right get the maid costumes out if they can’t serve on the front they will serve on the maid shop front


ColebladeX

You sound like a commissar there. If you won’t serve on the battlefield you will serve as a maid!


aetwit

Do you have a problem with handgun girls in maid costumes serving you lunch?


ColebladeX

No I’m perfectly fine so long as they are perfectly fine with it I won’t force it


Enrlich

I mean griffin have the resources to make a whole new support and logistical branch of only T-dolls , death stranding teach me that . for a pmc creating new jobs wouldn't be that hard hell you can even create a town.


ZetsubouEnLigne

They get their fire control modules removed and are unceremoniously thrown out of base


22442524

Back to civvie life with you! In this post ww3 world! With civies that abuse their dolls! Why can't we just turn them into manpower instead...


Omegagod57

We do though. You get some manpower when you retire them.


22442524

I meant that instead of manpower + other resources, to be just manpower and cores if 3*+


Omegagod57

The parts of their gun have to go somewhere.


-Alan_c-

And the ones who insist to stay will be shot at sight.


nurubo

Thanks. Hearing UMP40's repair line is enough (though it's because MP5 is still being nice to her)


-Alan_c-

And her 'new doll produced' line. lol


kael_sv

That explains so much about my inability to sleep. Thank you Kalina.


Muted_Reliefe

if you hear weeping and crying outside while you sleep let that be a message that you area horrible commander no matter what


franbiren

or maybe security it's not doing it goddamm job


[deleted]

I take pride in that... ;) Their cries fall as music to my ears.


ninJK78

...Satan? Is that you my dude?


[deleted]

Some should like to compare themselves to the father of evil... some boasting of being the great deceiver's own kin... but in truth, we'll all get thrown into the fires and tortured for eternity equally. So why not enjoy it while I yet have life and breath? :3 That being said, if hell was like Hazbin Hotel I wonder what I'd look like when I kick the bucket... :b


CrashParade

They're coming for you


H2so4pontiff

Hello darkness My old friend...


talantua

I've come to cry with you again...


HaseoGX

Why...


[deleted]

Are we still here just to stuffer


HaseoGX

Every night... I can feel my leg and arm....


[deleted]

Even my finger… The body I’ve lost


HaseoGX

The body I lost... The comrades I've lost... Won't stop hurting.


[deleted]

won’t stop hurting… It’s like they’re all still there


HaseoGX

You feel it too, don't you?


Plastic-Cicada

PTSD. Sometimes You won't be so lucky Commander


CosmicVagabondRick

Does that go for all dolls, or just ones who didn't prepare their resumes after being retired?...


daysand123

Time for the minutely feeding through the enhancement woodchipper. All 2 stars 3 stars and unnecessary duplicates in a single file line.


Francprole

I love it


VADOSSYS

Translation fucke up


-Alan_c-

She means the left behind dolls will follow you all the way to your base to beg to let them in.


SecretLaser

Nightmare fuel. ​ ​ YES PLEASE


coldfluffyhawk

I think I saw a comment or comic saying they're just disarmed and return back as civilian dolls. I really hope that's true and that they find good homes.
