In the world of the other branch of the story everything is not so boring either. besides magic, flying battleships and demons in the state security there are other things being developed there. Including the military. Where there is no magic yet, and where it may not appear, magic artifacts are much less effective than bare technology. So the Ratnik program was born, the purpose of which was to create improved soldiers. Of course, no experiments on "unreliable elements" - only volunteers, only experienced fighters, and only those who faced the choice - a disabled or a cyborg. Sophia is one of them, with considerable combat and life experience, who became a victim of a banal accident, but after getting into the program "Ratnik" this information was classified.
