The Ninth, The Immortal

The hidden experiments, with their research hidden more deeply than any other bit by the good doctor. That's what D8 and D9 were. In D9's case, he was the more dangerous and unstable of the two but it was inevitable that D8 would be just as dangerous as they were made as a couple. The two were created to have genuine emotions, orchestrated to be in a relationship with eachother using bodies perfectly assimilated and capable of reproduction. The issue with that last note, however, is that they will often be incompatible with regular somebodies. They require each other to moderate their flaws. Whether it be D8's anger and jealousy or D9's unstable emotions and trigger-happy, sociopathic nature. During the beginning years of their conception, Dr. Kizeke was actually quite proud with what he had accomplished. The cores he created ran perfectly fine and how he had tuned it to create completely intelligent beings had amazed even himself.

However, what he did not account for was the incomplete nature of his knowledge on how the complexity of emotions would require even more complex tuning. He created the cores, yet he did not make them complete enough to perfectly balance the aspects of a somebody and their emotions as well as compensating for how powerful those emotions may be. The first to mentally waiver was D9, as he began to fight and threaten programs around the Datascape. He wondered when D8 would do the same, but she really didn't. D8 agreed to moderate the increasingly unstable emotions, but eventually she tilted too. A female program had complemented D9 and she kill her. Returning to Dr. Kizeke, he knew that the two would be unable to stay in the datascape with all the attention they were drawing.

Realizing that they were indeed failures akin to D1 in scale, he had banished them from the datascape but told them of a place they could stay in Radiant Garden. They understood, and the two left for the real world. For the time between their exile and the conception of D10, they living in Radiant Garden. But after D1 had destroyed the operation Dr. Kizeke had going on, they received a transmission from a mysterious stranger who had told them of D10. He fed them information and made a proposal for them to find the boy and bring them to him. Jealous of the new dataloid, D8 accepted immediately which prompted D9 to do the same. Leaving their home, they traveled for years under their monikers Jackson and Delilah. They knew the worlds were not where to look as they'd be too high profile for the boy.

They surveyed the SOL stations and even occasionally visited various space colonies. They built their reputation as mercenaries, establishing powerful connections and eventually meeting the mysterious, smoking man Weiss. Of course, the man had manipulated them into believing he was an ally and friend of Dr. Kizeke. However, they had only cared about capturing the Isoloid and using him to upgrade so that they can finally be complete. Also after years of searching, Jackson and Delilah knew that their cores were starting to burn hotter, meaning they only had a few years left.
