()||BGM_Hello:Destroyer stops taking inventory and lets out a sigh, gazing out of the window at the drifting snow.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:Two years ago today, we had a party... last year today, I got a present from Agent... This year... there's absolutely nothing this year...
()||:Destroyer activates the AI interface installed on the wall.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:It's Christmas today, let's play a fitting song.
()S.F. Music||:Surroundings analyzed. Playing a human song written in the 20th century titled "Prison Grove". +"An icy wind burns and scars... " +"Rushes in like a fallen star... " +"Through the narrow space between these bars... "
()||:Destroyer slams the off button on the AI interface.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:That's enough, now shut up.
()||:Destroyer looked outside at the falling snow once again, and lets out another sigh, this time more dejected.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||<黑点1>:(Sigh) I really wanna celebrate Christmas...
()||<黑点2><回忆>129:... Fifteen minutes ago.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:... So, Agent. What's our plan for Christmas this year?
BOSS-8(0)Agent||:What Christmas plan? +Are you unaware of how dangerously low our supplies are?
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:Stop acting, It's just us here, if you tell me I promise I won't tell.
BOSS-8(0)Agent||<黑点1>:... +It would appear that leaving you idle was a mistake. +Take this manifest and do an inventory check. +You can speak to me again about a Christmas plan once you get a grasp of the situation we are in.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||<关闭蒙版>89<黑点2>:(Sigh) +As much as I know she's telling the truth from taking inventory... + I still don't want to give it up...
BOSS-11(0)Dreamer||:Agent sure is getting reckless, enough to leave inventory to you. +Although, considering how little supplies we have, I suppose even an idiot can count them, right?
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer;BOSS-11(0)||:... Are you... calling me an idiot?
BOSS-6(0);BOSS-11(0)Dreamer||:You said it, not me. +Come to think of it, according to the recon report we just received, Griffin is having a huge Christmas celebration.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer;BOSS-11(0)||:What?! Those Griffin T-Dolls can afford to celebrate Christmas even though they're poor enough to scavenge our parts?
BOSS-6(0);BOSS-11(0)Dreamer||:Their Commander left the base early in the morning, presumbly to go shopping in the city.
BOSS-11(0)Dreamer||:Well, even though we can't spare the effort to have a proper celebration, we can at least play some Christmas songs to lift the mood.
()||:Dreamer speaks as she activates the AI interface.
BOSS-11(0)Dreamer||:It's Christmas today. Play something fitting.
()S.F. Music||:Surroundings analyzed. Playing a Christmas song. +"We wish you a merry Christmas." +"We wish you a merry Christmas." +"We wish you a merry Christmas and happy new year! ♪"
()||:Destroyer angrily slams the AI interface shut again.
BOSS-11(0)Dreamer||:Someone's got a bad temper today. +However... we could redirect that temper toward something... more productive...
()||:Destroyer's eyes sparkle with excitement in the dim warehouse.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:Then I'll go scouting. It's not like I've got much to do today anyway. +I might even seize some supplies to fill up our empty warehouse.
BOSS-11(0)Dreamer||:How unusual, the idiot has the resolve to volunteer for a mission.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:So you WERE calling me an idiot!
()||:Gager, who has been eavesdropping, barges in suddenly.
BOSS-7(0)Gager||:Are you guys about to go scout out the Griffin's base? +You can't trust an idiot to carry out a mission on her own, let me go with her.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:HEY! How can you act so snobby while evesdropping? +And who did you call an idiot?!
BOSS-7(0)Gager||:I called an idiot an idiot. +I'll meet you at the back gate in ten minutes.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:HEY——!
BOSS-11(0)Dreamer||<黑点1>:This dreary Christmas is starting to liven up. ♪
()||9<黑点2>BGM_Empty:... at the Griffin base.
()???||:... We've already given the Commander a heads-up, please do take care of Gr G11 for us, Kalina. +We will return immediately once we acquire the necessary supplies.
()???||:Well, all she does is sleep anyways. Just think of her as an ugly, heavy vase that we've deposited for safekeeping
()???||:Just sleep tight here, Gr G11. You'll get the surprise you've always wanted when you wake up~♪
()||:Kalina swiftly moves the sound asleep Gr G11 to the Commander's room to keep her away from other T-Dolls. +As she gazes at Gr G11's sleeping face, an idea suddenly comes to her. She digs out a Christmas outfit and changes Gr G11 into it.
()Kalina||:Oh, you never took the gift from last Christmas with you! +You can still wear it this year, and I get to save some money on buying another present. ♪
()Gr G11||<黑屏1>:Hmm... Christmas... +Presents... Heheh...
()||81<黑屏2>m_19christmas_avg:Kalina leaves the room and quickly heads to the hall where the T-Dolls have gathered.
NPC-Kalin(1)Kalina||:Merry Christmas, everyone! What a wonderful day!
NPC-Kalin(3)Kalina||:Regrettably... +Our commander had to leave the base on short notice for work...
()||:The T-Dolls burst into an uproar upon hearing the news.
OC44(2)OTs-440,-150||:(Sobs) Commander... How could this be?
M1903(2)Springfield||:I'm sure it must be something important, otherwise the Commander definitely would've spent Christmas with us.
WA2000(2)WA2000||:W-who cares?! I'll celebrate Christmas even without the Commander!
SVD(2)SVD||:If the Commander isn't here, the booze in the cellar is fair game, right?
KP31(2)Suomi||:You nasty barbarians are thinking about sneaking booze out of the cellar now that the Commander's away, aren't you?!
M1873(2)SAA||:Only one way to settle this, it's duel time! Winner takes this can of cola I have!
CZ75(2)CZ75||:Oh, it's time to duel? Now that you mention it, I still have a score to settle with NZ75...
Ameli(2)Ameli||:It looks lively in here...
()||:Helplessly facing the crowd of rowdy T-dolls, Kalina rubs her forehead.
NPC-Kalin(4)Kalina||:Ahem! That's enough, settle down! +The Commander can't spend Christmas with us this year, but—! +We should still have a proper celebration, for all the hard work we put in!
()||:Kalina looks at each T-Doll present to build up suspense.
NPC-Kalin(1)Kalina||:Which is why I've decided to organize the first ever Secret Santa at Griffin!
()||:The T-Dolls start chattering excitedly.
NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina||:I've already sent out the document explaining the details. +To put it simply, everyone prepares a present and leaves it at a designated location with a given number. +After that, everyone who has deposited their present will get to draw a number for a random present. All free of charge, of course!
NPC-Kalin(1)Kalina||:Isn't that exciting?!
()||:Hearing Griffin T-Dolls cheering in excitment. Kalina nods with satisfaction.
NPC-Kalin(1)Kalina||:What's even more exciting... +The Commander has also prepared a gift. We'll have to see who's lucky enough to get it!
M1873(2)SAA||:Yahoo! Commander must've prepared a year's worth of cola for me!
RFB(2)Am RFB||:As if! I'm sure it's the newest game bought especially for me!
Ameli(2)Ameli||:Hmm... Guess I'll just include the button that just tore off of my jacket in the present.
KP31(2)Suomi||:I gave the Commander an introductory CD last year... Then this time I'll...
WA2000(2)WA2000||:Preparing gifts and whatnot is such a chore... But since it's already decided, guess I'll just have to do it properly...
M1903(2)Springfield||<黑点1>:Then let's all head out to search for present materials around the base.
()||<黑点2>7BGM_Empty:... Behind a shady corner near the Griffin base.
BOSS-7(0)Gager||:... Spying on Griffin's Christmas plans? Did you really come all the way here for something so pointless?
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:Though we are both Sangvis, the difference between our artistic pursuit and discipline is obvious. +For instance, I can precisely tell how pointless it is to persist in giving the traitor, Architect, a present every year.
BOSS-7(0)Gager||<黑点1>:... Cut the chit-chat while we're at work. +Look out, The Griffin groundhogs are coming out of their hidey-holes.
