GEMINI 2.0

**GEMINI 2.0** is an advanced combat droid originating from Monterisso. Bearing the likeness of a female assassin, she is designed for speed and precision, combined with laser focus and following orders from an artificial intelligence known as *MADAM*. She is currently serving the Stryke Blast Initiative under her AI's discretion.

Her design was plagued by controversy, As GEMINI 2.0 is comparable to PROGRAM SLIPSTREAM, which was owing to *Bordeaux Advanced Research* secretly obtaining a picture of PROJECT's last robotic unit, but yet managing to produce a similar one, proudly declaring it as an original design.

## Biography

### Background

The **Bordeaux Advanced Research**, a Monterissan robotics firm, has proposed a design for a female robotic assassin. BAR engineers promptly proposed that the design is a lady with exceptionally long legs that function as weapons, which they swiftly approved, and the project was quickly funded due to the positive response in their ranks. Unbeknownst to them, the resulting prototype known as the GEMINI 1.0 resembled PROGRAM SLIPSTREAM, a robotic assassin designed by Archibald Robotics for PROJECT in 3025 and destroyed in the last days of the corporate war. The GEMINI 1.0 was extensively tested in combat environments to assess its performance in a variety of applications.

Despite the extremely promising start, it has been plagued by controversy, with Monterissan officials claiming that the GEMINI 1.0 prototype, despite having a much sleeker frame, looks very similar to PROGRAM SLIPSTREAM, which can symbolise evil due to the mentioned droid belonging to PROJECT. To avoid having her design cancelled or rejected by the government, the BAR members decided to redesign it while preserving the limb blades as its main weapon. The resultant overhaul transformed the prototype into the GEMINI 2.0, a humanoid robotic assassin with feminine programming, greatly improved schematics, and a stylish outer design.

As GEMINI 2.0 goes online, she quickly becomes acquainted with her body and weaponry, all without the assistance of her creators. Her behaviour was scrutinised by technicians and engineers, as some claimed that possessing her own will would spell doom for them. In fact, she has disobeyed their authority three times and would gladly destroy the hangar she has was. built, but after being convinced that she will be protected if she is compromised, the robotic assassin has become obedient to her creators.

GEMINI 2.0 swore allegiance to her creators and not anything else. The robotic assassin would gladly put her body on the line to protect them anytime, anywhere. Notably, she serves Tea and coffee in her spare time to pass time, as she claims that being inactive causes her hydraulics and servos to become tight and inflexible. As a result, the nevians cannot use her as a simple killing machine, she is an independent mechanical warrior that strives to protect her creators and the innocent.

### True Ultimatum

The GEMINI 2.0 has opted to remain apolitical and has only served her creators, Bordeaux Advanced Research. As part of the "Stryke Blast Initiative," which also includes E1H ANUBIS, Eion Brightblast, and allegedly, the Crusher, she is launched to repel military-level threats, including her daily feat of severing NXSC warships in half with her limb blades, demonstrating her cold, calculating, and precise approach in combat. Word on the battlefield reveals that she is aware of LORD ANNIHILATOR; some claimed that she has developed mutual respect with E1H ANUBIS and would gladly fight beside him as the new war's end resulted in the dreadful repercussions.

GEMINI 2.0 strives to defend Monterisso at all costs, and strives to eliminate the Tyrannical Supreme.

#### Stryke Blast Initiative

GEMINI 2.0 has served as the de facto leader of the Stryke Blast Initiative in combat operations. She dispatched every member to protect their country from LORD ANNIHILATOR's excessively massive threats, and as a result, she operated alone in Monterisso, safeguarding her home from all the forces that the **Tyrannical Supreme** had launched to attack their country. Not letting that happen, she assisted the military in thwarting the enemy while handling the hijacked NXSC warships, proving her worth by slicing one Destroyer-class ship in half and avoiding collateral damage as the ship she sliced in half dropped into the sea rather than the cities.

Though she is pessimistic about Galaxia's young nature, she sees her as a capable hero despite her naivety and the immense power that she holds.

## Personality

Unlike most other independent-thinking robots who could exhibit emotional attachment, frustration, shock, fear and a sense of humor, GEMINI 2.0 was an extremely emotionless, single-minded and cold individual. She barely showed any facial expression beyond a cold and flat face, and it usually only spoke when it meant to engage others for information or when it intended to throw unwanted attention off of herself. The robotic assassin was noted to have an "police attitude", using her voice and authority to move people out of her way to step in front of a scene or the battlefield. GEMINI 2.0 notably values speed and precision, and shows disdain over sloppiness, boasting that precision is a difference between a butcher, and a surgeon.

Like most robotics assassins, the GEMINI 2.0 was single-mindedly and inhumanly relentless in completing its mission at all costs, to the point that it continued its assassination of ULTIMA figures, even when the planet is at stake. As mentioned above, this willpower extends to whomever she must protect, or kill.

## Abilities

GEMINI 2.0 is an advanced combat droid created with the appearance of a young Monterissan woman, showcasing an athletic and agile frame. This striking design sets her apart from her predecessor, PROGRAM SLIPSTREAM, and highlights her affiliation with Bordeaux Advanced Research, a force for good in the technological world. Unlike SLIPSTREAM's militaristic aesthetic, GEMINI 2.0 features a vibrant and bright color scheme, embodying a sense of hope and progress.

One of the most distinctive features of GEMINI 2.0 is her mechanically extended limbs that resemble excessively long legs. These blade-like appendages are both her signature weapons and tools of agility. With her bladed limbs, she can swiftly traverse urban landscapes, scaling walls and buildings with ease, making her an unparalleled infiltrator and assassin.

The Praxxus H-Pulse blades, her primary weapon, are made of superheated, vibrating high frequency Nevium alloys. It generates a precise level of heat in her thighs via a power conductor, and the heat is funnelled in the outer edges of said blades, reaching a temperature of 7000°F. This enables GEMINI 2.0 to cut virtually anything, regardless of size. It was proved when she cleaved a Destroyer-class ship in half precisely with no apparent effort or damage on her mechanical body.

GEMINI 2.0's versatile Praxxus H-Pulse Blades can also be utilized to emit high-frequency sonic waves designed for crowd suppression. These sonics are potent enough to deafen and disorient hostile civilians and evildoers in crowded areas, allowing her to neutralize threats and maintain order when necessary. GEMINI 2.0 possesses advanced artificial intelligence that grants her the capability for independent thinking and decision-making. This autonomy allows her to adapt to dynamic situations and make strategic choices in the heat of battle, making her a formidable adversary and a reliable asset in complex missions.

GEMINI 2.0 represents the cutting edge of robotics and artificial intelligence, embodying both the grace of a Monterissan woman and the lethal precision of a master assassin. With her unique abilities and independent thinking, she is a symbol of hope and justice in a world where technology walks a fine line between good and evil.

* The robotic assassin can run with a speed of 900 miles per hour in peak operating levels.
	+ This means, GEMINI 2.0 is 47.56% faster than PROGRAM SLIPSTREAM when both are running at full speed.
* The robotic assassin is capable of disassembling or separating her upper chassis to dodge deadly attacks.
	+ Some claim her design used magnetic technology.
	+ This was later proven true during 3028.

### Developmental Notes

* GEMINI 2.0 and PROGRAM SLIPSTREAM were heavily theorised to be similar designs. The most popular theory is that GEMINI 2.0 was a rebuilt SLIPSTREAM, but unfortunately, ACT-67 debunked all assumptions and opinions regarding their similarities.
* With that being said, their similar design and abilities are purely a great coincidence. Nothing else is related to each other.
* Her design aesthetic is comparable to those of ancient Aryan architecture, with the exception of her bright colour scheme.
* The Praxxus blades are made from spacecraft-elite-grade Nevium, evidenced by its power by slicing an entire NXSC vessel in perfect half. She must be insanely durable to perform such an astonishing feat of swordsmanship.
* She dislikes anything sloppy, messy or dirty.
* She is a sentient machine.
