LAD

For information on Lad's earlier iterations, up to and including the initial incident with Ura1, refer to Green Lad.

While a servant to Ura1, Lad had little in the way of personality. Stuck in a permanent emergency mode, he was high alert, highly aggressive, and followed Ura1's authority without question. With the facility to themselves, Ura1 went on to torment Ura9 for several years, using Lad to keep away any potential visitors, and kill anyone who got through. Lad's defenses remained impenetrable until Lillian showed up to rob the place, slipping through at just the right time from sheer luck. Lil managed to escape with Ura9, but not without Ura1 pursuing. Vulnerable outside of her obedient fortress, this led to her destruction.

When Ura9 and Lillian successfully shut Ura1 down, it severed her link to Lad. With his administrator suddenly gone, Lad was left in a confused, docile state, giving Ura9 the opportunity to reboot and repair him.

The Lad that reawakened is the Lad we know now.

In the present day, Lad stays in the facility with Ura9. With the factory still in pristine working condition thanks to Lad's diligent upkeep even while brainwashed, they were eventually allowed to continue work after touching base with the company. At Lad's request, BodaRobo has not yet returned any employees to the facility. Aside from Lillian and Pidot, who they stay in contact with, shipments and occasional outsourced maintenance are the only other company they get.

With the help of Ura9, Pidot, and Lillian, Lad slowly comes out of his shell. He will never return to his old self, but he does become better than he is now. In a folder, in a folder, in a hidden drive, there is still a kind and helpful process trying to run, despite everything.

Red Lad is very stoic and his default face is a disapproving stare. His display may produce pink screen tears akin to blush, or little square sweat drops when appropriate. He has no conscious control of this, but is far less affected by them in his current state. He might sometimes flash emojis for emphasis, usually thumbs up/thumbs down, and he can display any image he has access to.

In addition to his cabinets and the facility as a whole, Red Lad has a mobile body designed and built by Ura9 that he can use to move around and leave the facility more tangibly. He hates it, but keeps it around and uses it regularly because it makes Ura9 happy. This body is about 2.5m tall in a relaxed position.

Lad has screens, cameras, and control in every section of the facility, but his central self consists of a small office with a user interface terminal attached to a larger room where his cabinets are stored.
