Dolores Hayes serves as Dr. Rachel Links’ dedicated assistant within the BAHRAM military organization, contributing to cutting-edge research on Orbital Frame technology. Her expertise plays a key role in advancing the prototype Idolo, a Metatron-powered weapon granting unmatched combat prowess at a dire cost—psychological destabilization in pilots.

Dolores shares a clandestine romance with Radium Lavans, Idolo’s tormented test pilot, offering solace as he grapples with the frame’s mental corrosion and the escalating Earth-Mars conflict. During the Deimos Incident, she throws herself into the line of fire to save Dr. Links from Earth operatives, sustaining fatal injuries. This sacrifice fractures Radium’s psyche, fueling his hallucinations and triggering Idolo’s rogue annihilation of itself during his breakdown.

Though her life ends in *2167 Idolo*, Dolores’ influence endures. The sentient Orbital Frame Dolores/Isis in *Z.O.E. Dolores, I* bears her name, its AI preserving echoes of her consciousness, including a haunting Links family lullaby. Her narrative intertwines personal loyalty with wartime tragedy, etching the consequences of sacrifice into the conflict’s unfolding legacy.
