The SI-DT is a Doll series designed by Svarog Heavy Industries for destructive testing. Since they are prone to damage due to their activity, their bodies are structurally simple, cheap to produce and made of easily replaced parts, and their core can still survive and gather data even after suffering extensive damage. The SI-DT did not simply reduce the risks and lower the costs of destructive testing, it significantly enhanced the efficiency of data collection, contributing to the development of materials science and Doll technology.

Despite these qualities, SI-DTs still wear down over long-term high-intensity experiments, and with the emergence of even cheaper alternatives, the series soon disappeared from the market. On Svarog's recommendation, the last intact, late-production SI-DT named Havoc was sent to 42Lab to take part in Project Neural Cloud.

Durability, composition and strength are some of the desired qualities that result from the study of materials science. Humans need ever stronger, lighter and complex base materials to create complex tools to change the world. Destructive testing is one of the methods used by materials science to research strength and composition, but it is costly and dangerous for the tools, and sometimes for the researchers. Materials science labs have always searched for ways to reduce the cost and risk of their their experiments, and the SI-DT Doll series was the answer provided by Svarog Heavy Industries.

Svarog's Dolls are always developed with the intent of replacing humans in high-risk jobs. While controversial, this principle is undeniably effective. The SI-DT are used to spare humans both tedious tasks and dangerous destructive testing. Their frames are simple, easily replaced and low-cost while maintaining excellent strength. They can be repaired even after suffering extensive damage and are compatible even with old Doll parts in a pinch. Most of the cost of the SI-DT is focused on the protection of their neural core and their unique sensory feedback system. This enable SI-DT Dolls to easily record any change in their frame's structure and know its limits.

Havoc herself has no clue about where her name comes from. When asked, she'll just shrug or say she chose it at random. Its literal meaning is clear: “destruction” and “catastrophe”, like what she dealt with during experiments.

There's another far-fetched but amusing theory: Havoc could be the protagonist of a shooting game from the early 2000s, who was a tall, burly and unruly special forces soldier. SI-DT Dolls also tend to be tall. Whatever its origin, Havoc has kept this name.

A late production model, Havoc joined one of Svarog Heavy Industries' labs at the end of 2056 and was put in charge of materials study and data collection. It is said that Havoc and her SI-DT companions researched Doll frames and contributed to breakthroughs on materials science applied to Dolls. But Havoc isn't willing to talk about her past work.

“Being busted up again and again isn't fun at all. Not as terrible as what happened to Lind, though… but I wouldn't wish it on another Doll! So cut me some slack when I doze off!”

There's multiple reasons for Havoc's lazy personality. As explained previously, it first came from the harshness of her previous work environment. It is also part of her nature, or rather it is a widespread trait found in both humans and Dolls.

Havoc rarely wastes even a second during work. She clocks in and out on time and works efficiently. If given the opportunity, she'll skip work entirely, forcing Arcadia to improve its tracking systems to catch her. The only way to make her truly invest herself is to promise twice or thrice the amount of vacation time in return, and she'll always criticize workaholics who can't separate work and private life.

“Three weeks of overtime? Super, that means three weeks of vacation next!”

She sticks to her principles even after joining the Oasis.

It is common knowledge that SI-DT are frequently repaired. Havoc herself had her entire body overhauled multiple times, except for her neural core and head. Some of her repairs also led to enhancements, such as her arms which have been tailored to the operation of heavy machinery.

At the start of Project Neural Cloud, Havoc was Chosen by Svarog and 42LAB because she was the SI-DT in the best condition. Havoc took it as an opportunity to find better work conditions, and to escape the end of every other SI-DT—being damaged beyond repair, decommissioned and scrapped.

Despite her positive attitude, Havoc arrived at Project Neural Cloud in a less than ideal condition. She totaled over ten thousand errors across her neural modules and maintenance technicians called her a walking miracle. During the Wipe-Off Incident, Havoc's weakened systems finally gave out, and all her modules were disconnected. She was fortunately found by the Guardians and restored.

“Havvy couldn't even talk at the time… But she stuck to her rehabilitation regardless. She's back to being a normal Doll, now!”

While she's not deployed for primary operations with the Guardians' Echo Team, Havoc's immense strength and durability means that she's often sent for high-risk missions with medium to high-intensity combat. She usually demands more vacation time in exchange, but the boss doesn't turn her down. In spite of her lazy nature, Havoc completes her tasks seiously and efficiently, and sometimes can even sometimes overdo it.

“She's really that strong… Even that freak toy designer in the Oasis can't match her.”

“I always feel kinda oppressed when I'm with her… It quickly disappears when I see her stupid face though.”

“Triple pay and vacation time? No problem! But if you go overboard and cause trouble, your punishment will also be triple, okay?”
