Personality

Despite being originally built by Kei and Belial for their own purposes just like her current master and owner Riku, RE.M. displayed genuine loyalty to the young Ultra Warrior and his friends. When her connection with both Belial and Kei was revealed by the latter and Riku questioned her for it, RE.M. reassured him that she is on his side and won't betray him.

True to this, she escaped into an android body when Kei attempted to delete her when he took over Nebula House by force and later, she overrides Kei's programming after a brief struggle and retook the Nebula House, kicking him out. Indeed, what was initially a programmed loyalty to her current master has blossomed into a true friendship which in turn, allowed her to develop undeniably humanistic qualities, something that RE.M. realized during the struggle against Kei's programming.

In Connect The Wishes!, Riku revealed that RE.M is very strict.

History

Ultraman Geed

RE.M. was built alongside the underground base at some point of unknown period by Kei Fukuide, which Kei has used her to create the stories of sci-fi novels based on the events between Ultraman Zero and Belial under his name. She was also managed by Ultraman Belial during his use of said base before it was deserted sometime later, leaving behind a set of Riser, Ultra Capsules, and Ultra Capsule Holder.

In the present day, she surfaced through her U-Tom and met both Riku Asakura and Pega, both of which were rendered homeless from Skull Gomora's attack. Completing her scan on Riku regarding the presence of B Factor (Belial's DNA), she provided him access to the base and his devices, to which she revealed his true nature as an Ultraman. ^{Welcome to the Secret Base}

After his second battle with Skull Gomora, Riku and Pega invited Laiha Toba into their base due to her information on about the Little Stars after Belial's programming sealed its info from RE.M.'s accessibility. As Riku would fight against monster attacks, RE.M. assist him in searching for valuable info and recorded the data of Little Star into her drive. After Kei Fukuide reveals himself to be the one behind Riku's creation, RE.M. came into conclusion that he is the creator of Nebula House and was the one who prepared all of Riku's transformation devices. But since the boy is her current master, she declared her loyalty to him instead. After Riku chose to overcome his fate, she continued aiding the boy during his battle as Geed.^{The Girl Who Cuts Monsters}

As the series progressed, after Ultraman Belial, whom he admired, was defeated by Geed, Kei Fukuide transformed into Thunder Killer and engaged in battle with Geed, but ultimately failed. Injured, Kei attacked Nebula House, where the device to repair his Sturm Organ was located, attempting to expel Riku and delete RE.M.'s data.

However, RE.M. initiated an emergency evacuation and, based on her own voice, created a human body to escape the base, appearing before Riku and others. However, under Kei's interference, RE.M. was manipulated and connected to the computer of Mecha Gomora. In an attempt to assassinate Riku, Kei brainwashed RE.M.

Riku transformed into Ultraman Geed to challenge Mecha Gomora. However, due to Mecha Gomora's formidable combat prowess and the fact that RE.M. was held hostage, while also being able to anticipate Geed's attack patterns and counterattacks, Geed found himself struggling in the battle. However, when RE.M. heard Riku's call, her resolve began to waver. Eventually, after confronting another personality loyal to Kai in the spiritual realm, she regained her sense of self. She successfully conveyed Mecha Gomora's weakness to Geed, enabling Geed to destroy Mecha Gomora.

After expelling Kai from Nebula House, RE.M. was able to reunite with her other companions.^{Nebula House Invasion}
