I dunno why I'm responding to a 4 year old post, but anyway: M9 is known as a very self-absorbed, spoiled, and generally irresponsible Doll. It's highly likely asking for a pet was just a momentary distraction for her (which the way she brings the topic up to MP5 corroborates). On the other hand, WA-2000 is a workaholic who rarely if ever bothers with frivolties; an earnest request from her is pretty much a once in a lifetime thing. That presumably makes a big difference in how the commander handled it. (Though cynically speaking, the previous commenter was right that WA2k is an elite in story and out while M9 is a slacker who thinks she just needs to look pretty in story and core fodder out of it).I feel bad for M9(?) though. It shows that WA2000 is getting special treatment when SHE asks for a pet...
