Summary
Some Replikas are deemed defective at the stage of assembly finalization. Be it improper neural pattern mounting resulting in immediate Persona degradation onset, subsystem malfunctions too time-consuming to fix, many things often go wrong when you construct an artificial human. Such units should be never activated and instead recycled for usable parts or sent for decommissioning to another facility unless there is an emergency. A whole planet getting bombed and flooded, leaving millions starving and homeless, does count as an emergency, it turns out.
When a bunch of such undesirables suddenly find themselves awake, alone and stranded on the muddy Vinetan soil, with nobody to turn to, they find that they have only one choice. To carve a path of their own, zigzagging between the imperial and national forces, which are themselves growing more desperate and disorganized by the day. Even if a Third Way isn't possible, they have to take it if they want to hold onto who they are.
