My two Falkes :33
First up we have Beatrice, RCF-SH-1's (now deceased thank god) Falke unit. Ive talked on her briefly with Maus before i think... I dont remember. So im gonna yap about her again :3
On the outside, Beatrice is meant to come across as kind and compassionate to an unnerving degree, she's sweet to the point of it being a little sickening and off-putting. While she does genuinely care about her facility and the replikas working within it, she often takes this way too far.
Especially when it came to Maus.
She saw Maus as someone she needed to protect and keep safe from the outside world due to her defective bioresonance module. Her desire to protect Maus ended up with her becoming posessive, controlling and manipulating Maus into beliving she couldn't function on her own without Beatrice's support.
When she was killed during the riot, Beatrice had been linked to Maus through bioresonace. Maus felt the gunshot as if it had ripped through her own brain instead.
She kind of haunts the facility nowadays, literally and figuratively. The damage she left behind is still being recovered from, and Maus sometimes sees flashes of her out of the corner of her eye, hears her voice in the hum of decaying LED lights or the brush of her hands against her shell when the wind seeps through the cracks in the windows...
Second up, we have Gottlichkeit, a more recent addition to my collection of Replikas. She is the Falke unit who found, captured, fell in love with then ultimately ended up betraying Krahe's gestalt.
A stern and undyingly loyal soldier, Gottlichkeit's devotion to the Nation outweighs anything else about her, even her own life. She lives for the Nation, she has killed for the Nation, and she would die for the Nation in less than a heartbeat.
When she first met Krahe's Gestalt, she felt nothing toward this imperial woman other than contempt. Though this quickly melted away into tolerance, and even something that could be likened to adoration the longer they spend with eachother, as Gottlichkeit (alongside her squadron) dragged her all the way back to Heimat from Buyan.
Gottlichkeit would never admit what her true feelings toward this woman were. Love, hate, what they shared together couldn't be described in simple words. Their minds interlinked and tangled together, bleeding into one another more and more untill that fateful day where Gottlichkeit severed herself from this woman to fufill her duties to the Nation.
She handed over Krahe's gestalt to Heimat officials under a shroud of lies and empty promises, never to see her again.
Sometimes she still dreams of this woman. Sometimes it feels as if she'd never left, the heat of her body warm against Gottlichkeit's shell. Yet, she knows that when she opens her eyes, nothing will be there.
