The true nature of N2 (Red Girl) and a new key for the profile

[DaFritzi]

I plan to improve the page of the N2, the Red Girl by splitting it into two keys. Manifestation (The ones you fight as A2) and Terminal (The true form of the Red Girl). To do so we need to define the true nature of N2 first.

At first I thought that N2 is the machine network itself, but reading through the Machine Research Report it appears that N2 was created by the Machine Network after coming in contact with information on humans. It seems to be some kind of program , with its exact purpose unknown. It surveys the events of the game (Is seen in the background of some cutscenes) and the evolution of the machines in the network. It seems like it is an/the ego, a/the personality the network created (for itself) in order to influence/control/observe its own evolution. It is also strongly implied that N2 is capable of controlling every machine in the network as well as the network itself.

Here are other sources and statements i found so far:

Videos for the A2 fight and Ending D (9S)

A program projected by the network server of the machine lifeforms ~ Unit Data

Though to concepts like us, time has little meaning ~ Red Girl in the Battle against A2


Your input would be highly appreciated.

IIRC N2 created the Yorha project so the fight between Androids and Machines can allow the Machines to evolve.

That's why androids are made from dead machine cores.

 

[DaFritzi]

I don't know if this was confirmed, but it was definitely implied, yes.

I found another statement made by N2 in the Yorha Stage Play.

"We are the terminal of the Bio-machines. We are the code that separates events." ~ Red Girl

i just went and replayed the last few chapters of the game. From my interpretation i believed Red Grl to be the machine network from Jackass's final machine report once you beat the game saying how N2 (the network) figured out that it was neccessary to purposely create an enemy to be defeated. In the same document it says N2 forwarded evolution in seperate pockets of machines. But at the same time controls all machines Other evidence supporting she is in fact the network is that despite Adam and Eves death and subsequent corruption of nearly all machines (Pascals village, amusement park robots both go insane etc) N2 isnt effected because she is the network as a whole. While adam and eve are mere "Admins"

Also her quote saying time has no meaning to her is different from what pascal says about machines needing repair fter periods of time since they do decay, while N2 does not. because the network itself isnt experiencing decay. this differs even from adam and eve who do take damage while N2 doesnt.

last piece of evidence is that is N2 was like adam and eve or any machine, 9S should be able to disconnect her from the network which he never even attempts in game. in my opinion its because you cant disconnect the network itself from the network

 

[CivilProtectiom]

but to Dafritzi do you mine defining the difference between the manifestation and the terminal. so we have a clear definition of the differences

 

[DaFritzi]

Considering everything so far I would suggest treating N2 as the following:

N2 was created when the machine networks structure changed after coming in contact with information on humanity. It is the Ego of the machine network tasked with observing and controlling the evolution of the machines and the network itself. As such it has complete control over all machines within the network and the network itself. It is an integral part of the network as such it cannot be seperated from the it. Also since it is essentially a program it does not age and does not have a physical body.

 

[CivilProtectiom]

i see. So you no longer want to split her into two parts and does this mean she gets a serious upgrade. We should define her power. since she controls all machines and androids. Grun being 6-B and under her control would that make her 6-B. how do we power scale

 

[CivilProtectiom]

that was poorly worded. can you clarify how you wish to upgrade N2?

 

[DaFritzi]

I still plan to split her profile, and the tier I intend to assign to her true form is "at least low 6-B" scaling from Grun. The stats currently on her profile will make the basis for the manifestation key.

The definition of her true nature is/was necessary to get an understanding of the powers her true form has.

 

[Schnee_One]

I assume this scales to no one?

 

[DaFritzi]

Yes, the true form of the Red Girl scales to no one.

 

[Schnee_One]

Good, I'd hate trying to find some low6B matches.

 

[CivilProtectiom]

so would both splits be 6-B. we could manage a 6-A rating on the account she survives Emils self destruction in ending Y. She herself said she cannot be destroyed threw physical means so we have to consider that.

 

[CivilProtectiom]

so se could scale to that. and another quastion. Their are multiple times in game that suggest the machine network exists off planet.

. During the mad inventor machine quest we find out the aliens existed on mars

. we knows the network existed before aliens came to earth

. We know thanks to that tower that the machine are capable to space exploration.

my point? if red girl controls all of this then surely her power rating would exceed a mere 6-B

 

[DaFritzi]

The manifestation key would have the same stats as the androids, it would have basically the stats that are now on her profile.

As far as I know there are no statements of her surviving Emils self-destruct, should you find such a statement feel free to link it here. Yes, she is non-corporeal by being a program, that can hardly be converted to durability however.

 

[CivilProtectiom]

what i mean to say about Emils self destruct is that if the machine network extends beyond earth than even if its destroyed on earth she would still survive intact. its like how we got her initial rating compared to A2 attacking her. this time its emil

while it doesnt say shes ever effected in ending why it does say multiple times the network extends beyond earth

 

[DaFritzi]

The machine network was outside of the attack range, yes, but that does not mean it could tank it if directly exposed to it.

 

[CivilProtectiom]

hmm. i suppose. oh well. So then is that everything we needed to discuss

 

[DaFritzi]

I guess we discussed everything I needed to know. Now I can make the new key.

 

[DaFritzi]

I have created the new key. I have listed her speed as "possibly Omnipresent within the range of the network", I will lay out my thoughts should someone oppose this or simply wants to know why.

Should someone notice I missed something please comment on it.

Thanks to everyone for your contribution.

 

[CivilProtectiom]

no thank you my friend. I plan on making a post for 22B soon
