Many cycles ago, before Paige was a soldier, she worked as a medic at a local clinic. She and her friends got along quite well, everything was great, nothing bad ever happened, yadayadayada. Anyhow, one day, two female ISOs were attacked by a group of generic gang dudes, and Paige rescued them. Ada, one of the ISOs, was gravely wounded, but Paige and her friends were able to stabilize her and save her life. Quorra, the other ISO, kept their identities under wraps as best she could.

Paige has a secret gift of music, something she wasn't programmed for. Quorra and Ada, being ISOs, encouraged her "diversity" and supported her dream of pursuing music. Quorra remarks that Paige could learn anything she puts her mind to, leading Paige to adorably ask Quorra for pointers on fighting techniques (because Quorra's so dang good at fighting. Seriously.)

Paige and Quorra spar for a moment, leading Quorra's lighsuit sleeve to slip just enough to expose her ISO symbol.

Paige is horrified, with the false understanding the ISOs are dangerous murder machines, almost reports the two of them, but Quorra uses their friendship to persuade her not to turn them in.

WELL THENNNN

Turns out Paige's friends reported the ISOs for her.

Tesler and his guards show up, murder the entirety of the medical staff, including Paige's friends, and... yeah.

Quorra, however, knocked Paige out before the guards were able to reach them, making it look like Paige had nothing to do with the whole thing. I guess.

Tesler reaches Paige eventually, and convinces her the ISOs are to blame for the slaughter of the clinical workers, and Paige decides to join Tesler's army to avenge her friends.

WHEW!

(OH
SO SHE'S GONNA HATE JARAN PFFF)

I love plot and
Jaran is a dumbass
SHE IS GONNA FIND OUT)

Jaran tripped, landing on his face. His sleeve lifted, just enough for a curious eye to see his ISO marking. He hissed in pain as his elbow has skidded on the ground. He get up and held his elbow, it was just scraped. He was fine. He huffed and looked at the ground.

Paige caught sight of a lightline cluster on his skin. Her helmet deconstructed, revealing her face, and an expression of shock overtook her.

"Program." She said tersely. "Your arm."

Jaran was.. confused. He turned to the female program, "..What about it?" He wasn't completely sure what she was talking about. But he had.. a small feeling. He just really hoped she hadn't seen it.

Paige's expression became one of hatred. "Show it to me." Then she backed down a little. "It's injured... I can fix it for you."

(PFFT I THOUGHT SHE HAD MOOD SWINGS OR SMTH)

Jaran was still confused so he hesitantly showed her his arm. What had she seen? Was it just his elbow? Maybe.

Paige took hold of it, then ripped back the sleeve of his lightsuit. Sure enough, the familiar insignia of a hexagon followed by a ">" symbol glowed bright white against the program's skin.

An ISO.

Jaran yanked his arm back, he narrowed his eyes at the female program. There was no point in running. She was faster than he was. And he still didn't know where Mara's Garage was.

"So," Paige hissed. "You're an ISO." She withdrew her disc and lit the blade. "Abomination." She launched an attack.
