Main Theme

Act I

For an unspecified period of time, the Doctor is "sleeping" within the Chernobog Sarcophagus due to unknown reasons. They were awakened from their slumber by a Rhodes Island team led by Amiya, but somehow the Doctor cannot remember anything prior to their awakening. Not long after, the Sarcophagus was attacked by Reunion, and the Doctor instantly recalls some strategies and tactics they had as a field commander and were able to led R.I. into victory over the Reunion in this small skirmish. After rendezvousing with Ace, a close friend of the Doctor and an Elite Operator, the Doctor continues leading R.I. through the chaos that ensues all over Chernobog, including a Catastrophe that struck the crippled nomadic city. Just before they made it out of Chernobog, the R.I. forces encountered W who recognizes the Doctor, but she let R.I. retreat, due to a secret agreement she made with Scout.

The Doctor has since accompanied Amiya and the bulk of R.I.'s paramilitary force throughout their cooperation with Lungmen Guard Department. At an operation to relieve a trapped R.I. reconnaissance squad, the Doctor and R.I. face off against FrostNova and her Yeti Squadron, culminating in a battle which ended with them and FrostNova being trapped in the rubble of a collapsing street. The Doctor saves FrostNova from the rubble, and while waiting for their rescue, listens to the Cautus' tale of her past, which made the Doctor sympathize her. After they were rescued, the Doctor and FrostNova parted ways peacefully, but she warned them that she won't hesitate fighting them again if they were ever meet face-to-face once more.

The Doctor continues accompanying Amiya and the R.I. forces, Blaze and GreyThroat being part of the forces, through the counter-attack against Reunion who had attacked Lungmen and the subsequent "clean-up" operation. They also notably saw through Wei Yenwu's cunning strategy, which they can either rebuke for or simply ignore it. At the climax, the Doctor and FrostNova meet each other once more, which ended in a desperate fight. With FrostNova defeated and dying, the Doctor stays on her side throughout her last moments, and comforts her by saying her father really loves her. Then Doctor accepts her into R.I. before the Cautus dies in their arms. The Doctor then took FrostNova's body back to the R.I. landship where she is then cremated in an incineration chamber overseen by Rosmontis at first.

The Doctor led the R.I. in the operation to stop Chernobog from colliding with Lungmen, during which they were outraged that someone as young as Rosmontis was being made to use such a disturbing method of combat, and demands to know who deployed Rosmontis to fight, to which Rosmontis tells Doctor that she herself chose to be on this mission. After she says this, the Doctor calms down, and the mission proceeds. The Doctor commanded R.I. as they fought the Guerrillas and later, Patriot, witnessing the ordeal between the last Wendigo and Amiya. The group now has to split up, and Kal'tsit says the Doctor needs to go with her to the Chernobog Sarcophagus. Along the way, they run into W, during which the Sarkaz merc and Kal'tsit are revealed to know each other, and they vaguely talk about Kal'tsit working with the Doctor, and W reveals how the Doctor is 3rd (first being Talulah, and second being Theresis) on her "hit-list", since she wants to torture them for answers before she kills them. After Kal'tsit's decides the conversation is leading nowhere, she has Mon3tr grab W like a rag-doll, and take W through the walls to where she needed to go.

As the Doctor and Kal'tsit travels through the tunnels leading to the Sarcophagus, they witnessed a horde of Possessed including some Sarkaz mercenaries, before encountering the source of the Possessed: Mephisto, now transformed into an avian monster. The Doctor and Kal'tsit recognized Mephisto but nonetheless Doctor followed Kal'tsit's suggestion to put him out of his misery once and for all. In a hidden level, Kal'tsit leaves the fate of Mephisto, who turned out to have survived the encounter, to the Doctor's verdict; put Mephisto out of his misery, or try to give him a comfortable life until his soon inevitable end to Oripathy, however the player does not get to make the decision for the Doctor, nor get to see what the Doctor decides. After Mephisto is dealt with, Kal'tsit revealed facts about the Sarcophagus to the Doctor and that she truly hates the Doctor for supposedly murdering Theresa, but after Theresa, for unclear reasons to the player, made Kal'tsit promise to protect Doctor and Amiya. This promise is the only reason Kal'tsit has not killed the Doctor on the spot. Around this point the Doctor suddenly starts to vaguely remember things that happened at the sarcophagus, but their memory becomes far more clear when they hear a voice, and then see a woman holding the Doctor's hand, while promising that Doctor and her will meet again. At the end of the memory, the Doctor is able to recall the woman's name; Priestess. This shocks Kal'tsit.

The Doctor and Amiya in Rhodes Island's bridge in the aftermath of the Chernobog-Lungmen crisis

Kal'tsit and the Doctor meets up with Amiya at Chernobog's control tower just as the collision is stopped after she and Ch'en had talked down Talulah and result in Kashchey's defeat, however Amiya suddenly went unconscious. Kal'tsit then uses the Doctor's blood to make a solution that healed Amiya, and told them that R.I. will take Talulah to their custody; the Doctor agreed after hearing Kal'tsit's explanation. Upon returning to R.I., the Doctor asked Kal'tsit to include FrostNova as a member of R.I.; she accepts after initially refusing to do so. The Doctor then talks with Amiya as they observe the view from the R.I. landship's bridge, to which the Doctor can agree to Amiya vowing to have R.I. press forward no matter what lies ahead; alternatively, the Doctor can ask Amiya what she would do if they were a bad person, to which she vows to stop them herself.

Act II

Darknights Memoir

The Doctor is revealed to have been around since Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical's previous incarnation Babel. Together with Kal'tsit and Theresa they had a shared goal of saving the Sarkaz and granting them equality in Terra instead of just being used as mercenaries and being looked down upon as warfreak savages.

Theresis orders some Sarkaz to do a decapitation strike on Babel by taking down Theresa. However, Kal'tsit and W both believe that the it was the Doctor who killed Theresa, earning Kal'tsit's and W's enmity due to this unfortunate event. A bit later after the operation and the presumed death of Theresa, the Doctor had been severely wounded and had been placed in the sarcophagus by Kal'tsit.[1] This healed injuries and saved the Doctor's life.

Side Stories

Heart of Surging Flame

The Doctor and Amiya go to Siesta after the events of the Reunion arc to take a break and relax. After a brief encounter with Schwarz , The Doctor is called by Skyfire and Provence due to an injured civilian found near the volcano. The civilian turned out to be the mayor's daughter Ceylon Doykos who believed the volcano was going to erupt and went to check in herself before getting surrounded by originium slugs. Her suspicions turned out to be correct as the volcano was getting ready to erupt and that Siesta's catastrophe messenger Cronin had lied about it to stage a coup. The coup is later foiled by efforts of the Doctor and Ceylon and the volcano catastrophe is prevented, thanks to Skyfire and Provence. After the events, Ceylon enters Rhodes Island with Schwarz as Operators.

Gavial the Great Chief Returns

The introduction of this event has the The Doctor unconscious with them being lead through a dream (that varies on dialogue choices) by a mysterious voice that claims it itself could be an "unknown existence" and The Doctor should be respectful and "offer up [their] purest blood" or The Doctor is having a meaningless conversation with their "imaginary self" (the mysterious voice). After The Doctor comes to consciousness, it is revealed to the player how The Doctor is dragged along by Gavial on vacation as a form of R&R and mission, along with Blaze, Ceobe, Utage, Croissant, Lancet-2, and Dylan the pilot. Unfortunately, their aircraft gets shot down, with the engine stolen by a tribe for its technological advancement adding to they're list of troubles Ceobe eats a bunch of random mushrooms and begins hallucinating. Gavial later on meets up with Tomimi, who heavily admires Gavial, and everyone goes to the ceremony to to see who is the next great chief. Gavial joins the competition and ends up fighting with Zumama. Gavial was winning until Zumama brought out The Big Ugly Thing powered by their stolen engine proclaiming that fists alone aren't enough to have a future and for the better of the tribes she will bring out the age of machines.[2]

The Big Ugly Thing then thrashes Gavial briefly knocking her out. After everyone comes back together they all head to Zumama's tribe to retrieve the stolen engine. After winning the fight against The Big Ugly Thing, Zumama returns the engine, after which The Doctor exposes Tomimi to be the one that shot down Rhodes' aircraft because she wishes Gavial to stay in Sargon. Unable to prevent Gavial from leaving, Tomimi decides to join her at Rhodes. Zumama joins Rhodes after she sees Lancet-2, a talking robot. Flint also decides to go to Rhodes Island, because that's where Blaze, who bested Flint in combat, lives and Flint wishes to learn from her to get stronger.

Near Light

The Doctor's role during this event can be summed up as vital and critical for Rhodes Island and the overall stability of Kazimierz. Thanks to their intervention, decisions and actions, it allowed Rhodes Island to peacefully and mutually benefit from the various factions of Kazimierz, through business deals, favors, voluntary aid, wisdom and mediation in conflicts. It also ensured the company and their operative's safety, despite various attempts on their life.

Break the Ice

What began as a simple sightseeing excursion evolved into a complex and prolonged engagement, orchestrated by none other than Enciodes SilverAsh. His intention was to shatter the entropy of isolationism and stagnation that had gripped Kjerag. Having been forewarned by a mysterious voice, the group was swiftly taken into Paleroches custody, a situation that appeared to make them hostages. However, it wasn't long before they grasped the intricacies of the three clans and their conflicts.

It was during this time that the true purpose behind SilverAsh's actions became clear, as well as the pivotal role of the Karlan Saintess in ensuring the nation's overall stability. Ultimately, the group aligned themselves with the Paleroches. While also issuing commands to Kjarr and other operators, they guided the conflict towards a resolution that was not only peaceful but also amicable, thereby preventing any bloodshed.

In the process, they found themselves momentarily at odds with SilverAsh and his loyal operators. Their objective was to ensure harmony and reconciliation among all involved clans, leading to the emergence of a united and modernized Kjerag.

Enciodes SilverAsh was filled with nothing but awe and admiration for their remarkable achievement. They had managed to fulfill his goals without dismantling the other two clans. In fact, they succeeded in bringing these opposing forces on board with his vision, even though they had previously been obstacles.
