Nayuta (Corrupt)
22
7With Nayuta now corrupted, Mirror finds it boring that she left no response to her question. Although she would order her to call forth all of her clones to try "something" she wanted to for some time. As the light glimmers, Mirror smiles.
Nayuta has identical clones of herself scattered across the world to gather information and some are also outfitted for combat.
Nayuta's unique clone mechanics ultimately become her undoing during the massive escalation of the story.
While investigating the Orbital Elevator and the Queen's production factory with Mirror, Snow White, and Rose, Nayuta is betrayed by Mirror.
Because all of her clones are interconnected via NIMPH, the enemy exploits this architecture. A massive wave of targeted corruption is sent through the network.
Nayuta attempts to trigger a massive self-destruction sequence to sever the connection and protect her core, but the sheer speed of the erosion stops her. The elevator sequence ends chillingly with Nayuta’s eyes flashing a sinister red.
Under Mirror’s control, these now-corrupted, zombie-like Nayuta Clones are deployed onto the surface. It is a swarm of these exact corrupted clones that ambushes the Wings of Victory airship, triggers Dorothy's severe PTSD, and ultimately leads to Dorothy's own corruption.
Even though Nayuta currently stands undermined and compromised as a dangerous asset to the Queen's forces, her Pioneer squadmates—especially Snow White—refuse to give up on her, holding onto the belief that her unique distributed architecture means she can still be reclaimed.
