Synopsis

Picking up immediately after the previous chapter, the Pioneer City resistance is driving home with Pandora. Isabelle freaks out over Pandora imprinting on her, while Veronica reassures her^[1]. Isabelle, Veronica, Con, and Zero introduce themselves and explain that they are in the resistance^[2].

Pandora explains that she is "broken" because she's a girl despite being assigned male^[3], and Isabelle responds that she is also a trans woman, and assures Pandora that she's not broken^[4].

Isabelle tells Pandora that she is not a slave anymore, but due to her horrific "programming," Pandora doesn't understand^[5]. Moreover, Pandora is unable to call Isabelle by her name^[6], or to pick a name for herself^[7]. Hence, Isabelle gives the protagonist a name: Pandora^[8].

Back in Pioneer City^[9], Isabelle takes Pandora to resistance doctor Noor Shah^[10]. Though there is no published data on HRT for Helpers, Noor says Pandora can start her medical transition on a low dose^[11]. Isabelle doesn't have a lot of money, but Pandora makes kitty faces until Noor agrees to cover the costs of her medication^[12]. Noor warns Isabelle that taking care of Pandora will be difficult^[13].

That evening, Isabelle welcomes Pandora to her small apartment^[14]. Pandora wants to have sex with Isabelle, but Isabelle refuses^[15], explaining that Pandora's programming renders her unable to consent^[16].

As she falls asleep, Pandora reflects on her new life, and affirms that she is not broken^[17].
