Pictures of the Ark appeared as everyone looked at it in awe some had sparkles in their eyes, others with interest.

Ciel: Oh my...

Willow: That's... wow...

Soviet: Beautiful right, problem is all the discrimination.

Ironwood: Discrimination?

Soviet: Yes, you see. in order to defeat the Raptures, humanity created humanoid weapons called Nikke, designed to combat the Raptures. They are created using advanced technology and have the appearance of young women. They are developed by powerful corporations within the Ark and are equipped with high-tech weaponry and abilities to fight against the Raptures.

Ozpin: So they're just weapons? Like the Atlesian Knights?

Soviet: Not quite, you see Nikke's are their own people, they're are almost identical to Penny.

Most of the theater then looked to Penny.

Yang: What do you mean? Penny is a regular person... right?

Penny: Uhmm.... well...

Soviet: Ooooooohhhhhh, riiiight. You all don't know Penny is an android?

Soon everybody who knew Penny, but didn't know that much looked at her in shock.

Sun: She's an android?!

Ruby: Oh my god, she's not a real person! I had no idea!

Ruby however tried to sound convinced but didn't convince anyone.

Yang: Ruby?! You knew?!

Ruby: W-what are you... oh alright! I knew! But I promised to keep it a secret!

Penny: It's alright Friend Ruby! You did your best!

Reese: Still! You're not real?!

Pietro: Well, you see, Penny is real. But she is a highly advanced android with a synthetic soul as such, I wanted her to experience a normal life, not one as an android.

Pyrrha: I... wow...

Nebula: She's not a real person...

Roy: I don't know how to feel about this?

Bolin: That's most of us...

Dew: I... never mind...

Octavia: What is it Dew?

Dew: I just wonder how she has a soul? But I'd rather not get a looooong explanation.

Gwen: Fair.

Nora however had a question that could be answered with a few words.

Nora: So she's a lot stronger than normal people right?!

Pietro: That is the case.

Nora then had a moment.

Nora: Arm wrestle me! I wanna see who's stronger!

Soviet: 'Oh Jesus Christ...' Not now Nora.

Nora: But!

Soviet: Next intermission you can.

Nora: That won't-

Soviet: You'll have a tower of pancakes.

Nora: Deal!

Soviet sighed in relief as he continued.

Soviet: Do you all need a minute?

Ironwood: *Sigh* I think they do.

Soviet: Alright, be back in 10!

Timeskip

Soviet: We all good?

Qrow: Yeah, mostly.

Soviet: Alright, now about the Nikke's. You see, Nikke's are made from humans. They are mostly volunteers, but criminals have been made into Nikke as well. Their bodies are made from Goddesium, a special metal, which replicates the feeling of human skin and the volunteer's brain is placed inside of it.

The more innocent people looked shocked and disgusted, just imagining a person's brain being removed and placed into another body. Meanwhile the more scientific and matured people looked curious.

Soviet: But there aren't any males because they aren't able to survive the process of becoming Nikke. And for the most part Nikke do not retain their memories from when they were human, but there are some exceptions. For mass-produced vs "special" Nikke they look for candidates with strong personas, this seems to be a requirement for being able to mentally handle a higher spec Nikke body.

Tai: Wow, that's a LOT to take in...

Summer: Tai's right... the whole process sounds so confusing.

As others tried to soak in all the information, some question still flew around.

Cinder: And these Nikke get discriminated because they're no longer human, correct?

Soviet: Usually, but you would be correct.

Emerald: Then why haven't they revolted or anything?

Soviet: A Nikke's brain is flooded with nanomachines referred to as NIMPH which stands for Neuro-Implanted Machine for the Protection of Humans. This manipulates the synaptic connections of neurons to control memories. This allows Nikke's to make a "backup" of their memories and thus can be revived from death, so long as their brain is intact.

Emerald: So these nanomachines prevents them from harming humans?

Soviet: Yes. But Nikke's are built with mental limiters hardwired to them that prohibit them from exerting lethal force against humans or even a fellow Nikke. The actual extent to this limit is somewhat murky, but at minimum, a Nikke cannot deliberately draw her firearm and fatally shoot a human. This does not account for accidents such as in the heat of battle, the limiters can be circumvented by not taking immediately fatal shots or indirectly targeting a human such as a ricocheting bullet.

Even more information on this world was dumped onto the Remnantians as those who tried to process to previous information had their brain essentially overload as they sunk down, heads spinning. Meanwhile the more matured, and fortified minds kept asking question and listened.

Pietro: So do they know they're not an actual person, or...?

Soviet: Yes, they know they aren't actual humans but they can suffer a Mind Switch which damages or alters their brain. The most common cause of Mind Switch is anything that reminds Nikke's that they are fundamentally not human, as such, they need to bathe, eat, sleep, everything a normal person does.

Pietro: Wow, I would love to study the creation of these, not to create any myself. But to see how this process goes.

Soviet: Yes but being made out of metal including all of their internal mechanisms, Nikke's are unable to float much less swim, save for the Aegis Squad of Nikke's, which makes working near bodies of water or ice complicated.

Ozpin: Well, if these Nikke's are fighting these Raptures, can they be corrupted?

Soviet: They can but Nikke's subject to corruption must be terminated by a human with a special-issue pistol. Countermeasures against corruption are comparatively primitive. Corrupted Nikke's that aren't executed in the field are either put into stasis or scrapped on return to the Ark, due to the risk of becoming an Irregular.

Ironwood: Wait, why is there a human with them if they're fighting these Raptures?

Soviet: You see, Nikke's may fight the battle, but the human or Commander has to lead them into battle, giving orders.

Winter: Interesting...

Salem: And this is all a game?

Soviet: A game in my universe, but it could be an actual universe in the hundreds out there. Who knows. But there is a lot more in this universe we can't get into for now.

Mercury: Well then what's the game called? And who are they meeting if they're going to Earth?

Soviet: The game name is Goddess of Victory: Nikke, but the person they're going to meet is more or less a veteran who is the Vice President of Construction for a construction company.

Ozpin: Hm, where in the United States will they be landing in?

Soviet: The 28th State of the U.S, Texas! And they've produced a lot of famous people!

Ironwood: Like who?

Soviet: Audie Murphy, the most decorated U.S soldier in history. Lyndon B. Johnson, George Bush Senior and Junior, all 3 being U.S Presidents. Michael Dell creator of Dell Inc. and Charles Butt, CEO of H-E-B supermarket chain.

Glynda: Wow... and I assume there are more notable people from there?

Soviet: You would be correct, now let's see this universe!

Alright, next chapter will be a story draft I have yet to release! You can actually see the draft in the story I published showing off my drafts, so if you want. Go ahead and check it out. Anyways, always remember!

LONG LIVE THE MOTHERLAND!
