About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

————Basic Files————

[Codename] Tuner

[Gender] Male

【Combat experience】2~3 years

【Birthplace】Ursus

【Birthday】February 2

[Race] Qi■■■/Dulin——(The word after Qi was crossed out, but it was crossed out again in the revised version)

Height: 163cm

[Ore disease infection]

There are a small amount of Originium crystals distributed on the body surface, mainly located on the left shoulder and clavicle. Referring to the medical test report, it is confirmed that he is infected.

————Comprehensive physical examination test————

【Physical Strength】Normal

[Battlefield mobility] Excellent

【Physiological tolerance】Normal

【Tactical Planning】Excellence

【Battle Skills】Excellent

[Originium Skill Adaptability] ■■■

According to the physical examination, the Tuner's physical strength is only average. Although he has a stronger will than ordinary people, this still does not change the fact that he can be knocked unconscious by a baseball bat. I hope that all operators will not misjudge the Tuner's strength due to his use of "Rest". Please consider the intensity of the persecution as appropriate. - Dr. Kal'tsit

In addition, some operators have reported that they often see mon3tr gnawing on the Tuner. I need to emphasize here that this is "one of the physical therapy methods". I hope all operators will take care of themselves and not believe or spread rumors. - Doctor Kal'tsit

————Objective resume————

The Tuner is a key figure in the security mercenary company, Reunion. Mastering the Originium technique known as "Tuning," he excels in site destruction, navigating complex terrain, combating small and medium-sized enemies, and psychic exploration and repair. Furthermore, the Tuner possesses a remarkable tactical acumen that belies his appearance, capable of achieving maximum results with minimal manpower.

It's important to note that the Tuner is not a Rhodes Island Operator. He was originally one of the patients admitted to Rhodes Island, and currently this "Operator" is an external aid with the same authority as Amiya and Kal'tsit.

Most of the Tuner's files have been moved to the highest-authority database, accessible only to Kal'tsit Amiya.

————Clinical diagnosis and analysis————

*Only Dr. Kelsey has the right to read this article*

The results of the angiography test showed that the outlines of some of the operator's organs were blurred, a large number of abnormal shadows were visible, and the detection of Originium particles in the circulatory system was abnormal, indicating signs of mineral disease infection.

(According to my description, the radiographic image looks like a salt crystal cluster artwork)

[Somatic cell and Originium fusion rate]>40%

[Blood Origin Stone Crystal Density] 0.20u/L

The Tuner was undoubtedly infected, but on the other hand, his blood contained a component that could block and delay Originium infection. It was thanks to this that the Tuner could survive despite such an absurd somatic cell fusion rate.

The reason why the Tuner has such an unusual physique is rooted in his race - the Chimera.

The Tuner has some "human" blood.

The "human" here is not a general term, but a name for a species that has become extinct on the Terra continent.

Although we don't know what happened in the past, based on current intelligence, a few things can be confirmed.

1. The Tuner once had contact with the Doctor and lived with him for a period of time.

2. Because of his injuries, the Doctor transferred a part of his being into the Tuner's body through the sarcophagus module before his death.

3. Because the Doctor gave up control during the fusion process, the Tuner's consciousness remained intact, and his race became a Chimera. Their characteristics were that they possessed the same Originium-resistant blood as the Doctor, but lacked immunity to Ore Sickness.

4. The Tuner has all the permissions that the "Doctor" once had, including connecting to the PRTs command system to coordinate battlefield planning, and stimulating the temptation of blood demons such as Warfarin to stare at each other's blood.

5. The Tuner's original race is unknown. Due to fusion, he currently carries a cognitive filter, which will form different races in the eyes of others based on his inner differences. As long as the person is not called Durin, the Tuner does not seem to care much about his own race.

----

We still don't know what happened between the Doctor and Orson... the Tuner. That experience has been sealed by the 'Doctor'.

Through the Tuner's narration, we only know that before his death, the Doctor did not want the Tuner to follow the same path as himself. The Doctor believed that although this path was correct and could bring changes to the world, it would fill the person who took it with pain and despair.

But Orson chose this path anyway.

I won't make the same mistake again, Doctor. Because of our fragility and incompetence, you became the 'Evil Spirit of Babel'. Now, facing Orson, I will use my own life to ensure his safety, and at the same time, I will never let him repeat the tragedy of the past.

For Terra's tomorrow, for your rest.

Tuner? Oh, you mean Orson, right? That guy only calls out his operator title when he wants to show off, so we usually just call him by his name.

Isn't Orson an operator from Rhodes Island? I remember when a special patient arrived in Chernobog, and that's when Orson arrived at Rhodes Island. It seems the Reunion Movement came afterward, demanding him. It was a heated scene! It was almost like a fight between the two sides! It's a shame they didn't end up fighting.

This guy might look harmless, but he's a real tough guy in a fight! Even though I'm the one who always picks fights with him. But to paraphrase Kal'tsit, this is also part of "rehabilitation training"!

——Javier

Orson... He's done so much for me, so much so that I don't know how to repay him. When I was swallowed by darkness, almost trapped in the nightmare of the past, unable to wake up, that light was Orson.

He always thinks of others, always busy running around trying to help them. Although I don't know Orson's past yet, I'm working hard to do so. I hope that one day I can be someone who can always be by his side.

Eh? No no no... I didn't mean that just now... I'm just a little cat.

--rosemary

I'm not an operator from Rhodes Island, why are you asking me... Orson? I found him in a village in the north.

Come to think of it, it really seems like a wonderful fate... but actually, it's nothing worth mentioning. I saved him once, and he saved me countless times and saved the Reunion countless times.

Although he is not tall, he will always be my knight. I will trust him unconditionally, just as he will always support me.

As long as he exists, I will never lose my way.

Um, you guys aren't going to ask Froststar and Alina later, are you? Orson isn't close to them, so there's really nothing to ask.

—Miss Drake, who wishes to remain anonymous.

————Archival Data·2————

When faced with macro things, the changes a person can make are extremely limited, or in other words, those who can remain calm and not change themselves under the torrent are rare.

The Tuner is one of them, and not only that, he has the ability to change many more things.

Rhodes Island had gone through a period of despair, about five years after its reorganization from the Tower of Babel and before its covert operations in Chernobog.

There is no clear goal, no blood sample from the 'Doctor' to cure the mineralopathy, no 'Babel Tower Evil Spirit' that can bring us victory, and even the reserve funds have become negative.

I'm not a qualified leader, and Amiya is too young. I know that if this situation continues, either Rhodes Island will be completely destroyed, or I will die first from exhaustion.

It's ridiculous. I thought I knew enough, but the fact is, even if I put in 10 times the effort, I still can't keep this landship running.

In that situation, I found the 'Doctor' - at that time, I was not able to regard the Doctor and the Tuner as two different people.

My initial idea was simple: find the doctor, rescue him, and then have him take over the position of commander of Rhodes Island.

I couldn't forgive the Doctor then, couldn't forgive her for using everything as pawns and choosing to sacrifice herself so I could live.

But after the arrival of the O...Tuner, everything changed.

Rhodes Island, which had been stagnant, began to move again. He and the "her" in his body gave Rhodes Island hope to move forward again.

In Chernobyl, we found the Tuners and formed an alliance with the Reunion Movement in a rather... subtle way.

In Casimir, we rescued the infected there and solved the financial problems that had been plaguing Rhodes Island.

In Lungmen, we were awarded a contract by the Terra Financial Hub to transform the slums of Lungmen into the first self-sufficient area for the infected.

All this is inseparable from the arrival of Orson. He is not a doctor, but like the doctor, he has done so much for us.

There's still a long way to go before Her Highness Theresa's dream comes true, but at least we're making progress.

How to quickly build a good relationship with the tuner

The Tuner possesses terrifying Originium skills and an excellent tactical planning mind, but in contrast, this guy is usually just a fool.

If you need to ask a tuner for help, you should first praise him, no matter what, the way he is dressed, his mental state, or even how wonderful his crosstalk performance was yesterday, or how exciting his electronic music concert was the day before yesterday - it's all fine, because this guy is really easy to fool.

After that, he took a humble attitude. The tuner's character was not tough, but he disliked those who were arrogant.

Next, if you have any photos of the tuner and other women, you can use them to force the other party to help you unconditionally. If you don’t have any, you can buy them from me.

Finally, be careful not to give in to others. Although this guy is a bit of a fool, he seems to have an aura around him that will make you lose your mind, so be careful.

Also be careful that the fire dragon, snow rabbit, Johnny, silver deer, Liberi, white-haired polar bear, ponies of various colors, etc. may come to pick a fight with you.

My goal?

At first, it was just to repay a favor. Tallulah saved me, so I had to repay this silly dragon.

But then as time went by, I saw the pain and struggle of Tallulah, Froststar, and so many other people, and I felt that I should do something, I had to do something.

Later, I learned that I was a Chimera. Inside me resided another soul that once wanted to change this continent. In this case, I certainly had an obligation to complete what she had failed to do.

My goals haven't changed, they've just broadened a bit.

Although this continent is filled with despair, it also has rising suns and green shoots. All I want to do is allow more people to enjoy the 'melody' of this continent without worrying about their own safety.

I think that must be a very beautiful sound.

——Tuner

(After the self-narration, the tuner deliberately used a virtual voice to perform an electronic freestyle. My evaluation is: he is a shitty "tuner". It's insanely unpleasant! - Operator Red Bean)

--------

Recruitment Contract: Tuner, one of the leaders of the Reunion Movement. Wearing a mediocre smile, he stood on tiptoe, attempting to appear taller in his profile picture.

(Although he sounds like a scary person based on his identity and experience, you can rest assured that he is really easy to get along with.)

Keepsake: A tape containing a collection of crosstalk performances.

(It is said that when this guy introduces his strengths, the first one he mentions is always "good at crosstalk")

38. Scars (from cat scratches) are proof of a man’s glory!

In a simple yet elegant building in Casimir, a middle-aged man and a white-haired Kuranta girl stood in a corner of the corridor. Before them lay dozens of precious and exquisite portraits.

"Thank you for taking on this task despite your busy schedule, Ms. Platinum. I admire your professionalism."

The middle-aged man, who was also the spokesperson for this knight competition, stood with his hands behind his back, admiring the portrait in front of him while talking to the Kuranta girl beside him - Platinum.

"Forget the polite talk. Seriously... I feel like the No-Horned Alliance's scope of business is expanding. I might as well apply for retirement after this knight competition."

Bai Jin responded unhappily. After all, it was becoming increasingly difficult to slack off now, and he was indeed a little unhappy.

Originally, Platinum was tasked with monitoring Orson and Mainna, as well as carrying out routine assassination missions. A few days ago, they were also assigned to investigate Rhodes Island. He had barely had time to catch his breath after returning to Casimir when he was summoned again.

She complained a lot about this "tight" pace.

"I don't have the authority to interfere with your career plans, but before you retire, could you please tell us the results of your previous investigation?"

The spokesperson responded to Platinum with a forced smile, bringing the topic back to the mission Platinum had previously carried out.

"Ha, I get it. Anyway, those guys aren't going to let me retire so easily. Regarding the previous mission, Rhodes Island meets the requirements outlined in the treaty. They're a company with production capacity and a comprehensive organization."

Platinum took out the sticky note he had brought with him from Rhodes Island. On it were various things he needed to investigate, and Rhodes Island met Casimir's standards in all these aspects.

"Gathering this information must be very exhausting. Thank you for your hard work. But besides these routine matters, the Chamber of Commerce is also interested in some other intelligence, such as whether Rhodes Island is involved with the infected person named Orson."
