107th Recon Unit

Lore & Background

As the war progressed, the unit became entangled in the deeper mysteries of the Machine network, encountering entities that possessed human-like consciousness. This exposure led to significant friction within the squad, particularly regarding the authenticity of their orders from the Bunker. The eventual dissolution of the unit was not due to defeat in battle, but rather the unraveling of the trust between its members and the revelation of the lies underpinning the YoRHa project itself.

In Their Own Story

The wind howled through the skeletal remains of the skyscraper, carrying dust from centuries of decay. 2B stood at the edge, her white dress fluttering against the grey sky, while 9S adjusted his visor, scanning the horizon for movement. There was no sound but the static of their comms and the distant hum of Machine activity. They did not speak; words were unnecessary after so many cycles. The city below slept in ruins, a graveyard of civilization they swore to protect. Yet, as 2B looked at her partner, she wondered if this war would ever truly end for them.

Reader's Guide

Scattered communications and data logs recovered from ruined Bunker outposts reveal the true depth of Unit 107's operations. Unlike standard combat squads, this group operated with significant autonomy during critical phases of the war against Machine lifeforms. Emails hint at a recurring cycle where memories were purged to maintain operational efficiency, specifically targeting the scout androids to prevent psychological collapse from repeated losses. Environmental storytelling in the ruins suggests they engaged directly with high-level threats like Adam and Eve, encounters that standard units would not survive. The presence of A2's former gear alongside 2B’s standard-issue weapons indicates a past where these three fought as a cohesive trio before ideological fractures occurred. Logs recovered from destroyed Bunker terminals imply that the unit suffered heavy attrition over time, with predecessors failing to stop the Machine uprising. Ultimately, their history serves as a microcosm for the entire YoRHa project: a desperate, looping struggle against an enemy that mimics humanity while hiding the truth of human extinction. The fragments left behind paint a picture of loyalty tested by deception, where every victory was shadowed by the knowledge that their purpose might be built on lies.
