Nier: Automata Command Novels & Stories

3. I slowly went near to the glass capsule and waited for Aiden 2.3 humanoid robot to wake up from his deep and long slumber while Chairman Alberto was busy carefully opening the capsule. The moment Chairman fully opened it was the time the shakes in my body intensified. "I am Aiden 2.3 of Gomez Robotics," after saying his auto-generated line under his monotonous and digitized voice, his eyes turned deep blue like a hologram indicative of he's already activated. Aiden 2.3 lifted himself up and exited the glass capsule and faced me.

She gripped it with a frantic, white-knuckled intensity. "You monster," Barzil roared at the sky. His neck muscles stood out like cords. His jaw was clenched so hard his facial muscles jumped. "You wired children into a bomb!" "I industrialized a natural resource, Commander," Nergal corrected. His voice was cold. It was the sound of a scalpel on bone. "Why rely on one volatile woman when I can build a chorus?" The machine raised its arm. The hydraulic claw opened. It emitted a rhythmic, mechanical grinding. It hummed with the stolen frequency of twelve innocent souls. The static in the air made my hair stand up.

"We think you could use a few more toys to play with tonight. Layla could use the company." Toni giggled, already reaching for the hem of her dress. "Yeah, let's all have some fun. I know my husband won't be able to satisfy me tonight." The bot processed the information quickly, his internal sensors registering the pheromones and arousal levels of the three women. He stepped forward, reaching out to touch Brianna's face gently. "Understood," he said. "I am prepared to fulfill your needs." She turned to the machine, voice quivering slightly. "What's your name? What should we call you?" she asked.

“You’re learning control.” That word stuck with me. Control. For the first time, I felt like I had it. I glanced across the room toward the wardrobe. It was shut. I didn’t move a muscle. I just thought about it. Then, voice low but steady, I whispered: “Apertus.” The door swung open instantly. “Don’t be scared,” Nora said softly in my mind. “That’s barely the surface. We can manipulate more than objects. Elements. Temperature. Weather. You want to do something fun?”

Nyra fired away commands like a pro. The technician seems to understand what she is talking about, he immediately started clicking on his keyboard. "It's working," the technician said with a wonder-filled voice. "Of course it will" Nyra smiled proudly. "Create a binary for the remote teams..." Nyra completely took over the crisis and now the entire team is working on her commands. Drake and Mason are standing there looking at the picture playing in front of them with confusion, awe, and wonder. "I thought you found out every single detail about Nyra," Drake asked Mason, eying his Mates every move.

He recalled yesterday, shortly after issuing the command for me to return home and kneel as punishment, the control terminal on his wrist had started vibrating. A warning had flashed across the screen. "Controlled subject currently in critical condition. High-risk life signs detected. System reboot initiating automatically." At that time, it had startled Dad. When he got home and saw me kneeling obediently on the floor without any visible issues, he assumed the terminal had glitched and didn't think much of it. Now, after hearing Sebastian's report, irritation surged in him again. "He's such a pain in the ass. Even after the mods, he still sneaks out behind my back!"

No way he would let her be arrested and let her go unscathed. “Did they hurt you?” I ask Nadia through the mind liink. “They tried, but I accidentally let out my Luna command on them not to hurt me. I didn’t mean to. I have no idea how to control it.” she reply through the mind link. “It’s okay. I will teach you. I’m glad you stopped them from hurting you so I don’t have to kill them. I will deal with them. I’m going to use my Alpha command to prove that you are innocent.” I warn her through the mind link.

Instead, she turned slightly in her chair, watching me like she was deciding how to say it. “What now?” I asked. She hesitated, then finally said, “The system isn’t just built for escape.” A pause. “It’s built for control after she’s gone.” That landed differently. I frowned. “What does that mean?” Nina turned the screen back on, showing a final layer I hadn’t seen yet. Automated triggers. Pre-set responses. Financial redirects tied to external events. “If she disappears,” Nina said, “the system doesn’t stop. It continues executing instructions.”

​The iron wolf gave a high-pitched, mechanical shriek, its internal brass tumblers melting into a single mass of glowing slag before its jaws snapped open, releasing her leg. ​"The asset is resisting the delete command," the lead automaton of the sixty-sixth tier printed onto the air. The violet glyphs on its face flared with a dangerous, blinding intensity as it turned its gaze toward the iron platform. "Subject file: Elara Aurelian. Threat level: Structural rewrite. Execute primary truncation." ​Twenty obsidian automatons lunged from the ledge simultaneously, their zinc-plated spears lifted as they prepared to leap across the roaring river to impale her.

“It’s dangerous to activate it alone, but… I can use one of the basic commands. It won’t leave the capsule. I promise.” Sasha simply nodded. The scientist pulled out an old, worn remote and whispered something in a language that sounded like a contained growl. The rune at the base of the capsule glowed in a crimson tone. Inside, Norfir moved. Its eyes, black as endless abysses, opened, fixing directly on Sasha. The movement was slow but loaded with contained aggression, as if every fiber of that creature’s body knew what pain was… And was waiting for a command to release it. Sasha smiled.
