[Meanwhile, iCO has kept the pronunciation of her old name, rewriting it as Aiko.

I guess you can consider this an AU?]

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

“I like the name Aiko… it doesn’t sound that different from my model ID, so it’s easy to remember how to say…”

“RiCO & I have been getting our mail mixed up and I’ve gotten several Maverick Hunter messages meant for my sister.

We’re going to the Abel Court to resolve this… they’d likely still use iCO & RiCO to reference our model IDs, but at least they’ll check twice if our names were a bit more different…”

"We're more ghosts than people."

Skirkle RP

She has a relaxed, growing smile on her face.

“I love you too, Farosh…”

“Well you’re safe now…”

She leaned her head closer.

“You don’t need to worry…”

I love my big brother… I love him… if only we can exist without pain #VentArt #MegamanLegends #ロックマンDASH

“I’ve heard… I’ve been dreading the thought of what could hurt you… but I’m very thankful… relieved that you’ve made it out alive…”

She walks to Farosh, looking a bit tired…

“Hey… I’m sorry I haven’t been around…”

// Gotta be my favorite type of character

"I can't change the world until I change myself first."

“Make sure to express interest in some things you are genuinely interested in.

I show I pay attention to the fossil transport and Robot Retrieval improvements.

Finally… don’t leave after joining… it’s general etiquette. Even if I’m not a Museum higher-up, I avoid missing City Board discussions.”

“The trick to gathering information from the City Board meetings is to pretend you’re not interested in things that would be suspicious for you to be interested in.

City Security? Lay your head on the table and they’ll assume you’re too bored of the subject.”

"Hold that faith that is made of steel."

And so Light worked, far into the night, when the watchful eyes of Wily's robots weren't upon him.

“If I knew the exact changes, then I’d share the details… trying to pry about the City Security right now would put more eyes on me than I already have.”

“These weapons are quite strong and pack quite a punch, according to the records. Makes me wonder what type of dangers the people of these times faced…”

“There’s a new Museum promotional event where we’ve collaborated with other museums and sites… I’ve been told I’ll be assigned with the transport of some artifacts, including ancient weapons, armors and well-preserved skeletal samples…”

[buildup for something far later]

“Hmm… you’ve been doing a good job…

I’d say try a bit harder… sometimes in the city meetings I join, there’d be talks about upping the security across the city because of a few reports of suspicious activity…”

“Death can have me when it earns me.”

// In Mega Man X DiVE (the game she comes from), Mavericks are referred to as Irregulars.

And iCO is one of the Maverick Virus-bearers, Capcom’s TEPPEN confirms she has something unusual going on with her, hence, she is also irregular.

“… the thought’s never came across me…

We can live for so long, be repaired so easily… as long as the code making up our souls remain intact, we can come back from any damage…

so unless we do something extreme that warrants our soul destroyed, we don’t die… we just rest….”

“… sometimes…

Many of the robots that came here willingly, seeking a place to rest peacefully after they expire.

Some requested their history be recorded for the next generations to learn and improve… while the wicked are put up as a warning to not let history repeat itself…”

“Normally when it comes to getting new Robots for Museum displays we send Retrieval Teams to search for Mavericks & alike that have gone offline so we can polish & put them on display…

But it’s been getting harder to Retrieve even when the Maverick Hunters notify us of new bodies to recover.”
