()||214<黑屏2>BGM_Moon:...In the Griffin base, outside Architect's room. +A Dinergate rushes in and jumps onto the desk before pushing the present it's been entrusted with through the supply port. +It runs off right after that, as though it has sensed the angry cries in the distance. +Architect curiously picks up the gift and examines it...
()Architect||<黑点1>:Haha, you really do have a gift for me every year, my dear Lady Knight. +Unfortunately, I won't be able to give you a present in return this year either... +Still, Merry Christmas...
()||7<黑点2>:...Behind a shady corner near the Griffin base.
BOSS-7(0)Gager<通讯框>||AVG_tele_connect:My plan succeeded, I'm heading over to the rendezvous point to wait for you. +You've got 10 minutes to show up.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer;BOSS-7(0)<通讯框>||:What? Your plan succeeded?! +Wait a minute, I've lost contact with all my Dinergates...
BOSS-6(0);BOSS-7(0)Gager<通讯框>||:An expected outcome.
BOSS-7(0)Gager<通讯框>||:Hurry up and fall back. Griffin will find you if you stay there, and I trust you don't want to end up keeping that idiot company.
()||AVG_tele_disconnect:...The transmission ends.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:B-but...
()||BGM_Empty:Destroyer glances back and forth between the jet-black screen of her radar sensor and her chronometer.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||GF_Memorial:Ughhh... What should I do? +I'm out of time, and I don't have anything to show for a day's worth of hard work...
()||:Destroyer flops down on the ground and starts crying loudly.
()Commander||:Is someone crying?
()||<黑点1>:Destroyer hurriedly shushes herself and burrows into the nearest patch of vegetation.
()||<黑点2>9:She can hear the Commander's footsteps slowly approaching...
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:Oh no... Is Griffin going to capture me too...? +I don't want to humiliate myself like Architect... +If Dreamer finds out, she'll make fun of me for years... +I might as well just blow myself up...
()||:The Commander's footsteps stop in front of a trembling bush that bulges in a strange way before smiling tiredly.
()Commander||:Ahem. While I don't know where you're from, you sound like you haven't gotten a present. +As it happens, I have an extra one on me, so I'll leave it here. +Merry Christmas.
()||<黑点1>:Destroyer's eyes seem to blaze in the darkness, and she charges at the voice's source with a speed she's never shown before...
()||<黑点2>7:"Bonk—" +Destroyer's hard forehead collides with the Commander's chin, as the latter is kneeling in front of the bush...
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||:M-Merry Christmas!
()||<黑屏1>:While the Commander is still dazed from the collision, Destroyer takes advantage of this and speeds off with present in hand.
()||161<黑屏2>:...At the rendezvous point.
BOSS-7(0)Gager||:And here I was thinking I wouldn't see you until after we captured the Griffin base.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer;BOSS-7(0)||:You should save your vivid imagination for making up an excuse to give to Agent.
BOSS-6(0);BOSS-7(0)Gager||:... +So you managed to get that present you wanted so badly in the end? +Let's go.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer;BOSS-7(0)||:Yeah, but if we go back empty-handed after expending all these resources, won't Agent...
BOSS-6(0);BOSS-7(0)Gager||:Don't worry.
BOSS-7(0)Gager||:Besides, you won't remember anything once you wake up.
BOSS-6(0)Destroyer||<黑点1>:...
()||7<黑屏2>BGM_Empty:...Near the Griffin base. The stricken Commander spends a long time in a daze before finally managing to get up.
()Commander||:Which base was that Doll from, anyway? +Why does it feel like the whole world is out to get me today...
()||m_19christmas_avg:As the commander was halfway through muttering to himself, he hears Springfield call out from behind.
()Springfield||:Commander?
()Commander||<黑点1>:Hm?
()||215<黑点2>:The Commander looks back and sees the T-Dolls all assembled in a lively gathering, with several of them under the Christmas tree—
()Springfield||:Aren't you going to join us at the party? Everyone's waiting for you.
()FAL||:Thanks for the scarf, Commander! +I like it a lot; I didn't expect you to have such good taste...
()Gr G36||:Look, Commander! I love this—
()SVD||:Don't move around, FAL. I'll cut off the tag for you.
()||:The Commander smiles, then winces in pain before walking back to the others while cradling a swollen jaw.
()Commander||<黑屏1>:Alright, I'm coming.
()||<黑屏2><黑屏1>9:THE END.
()||8<黑屏2>BGM_Empty:...Inside the Command Center. +Kalina is double-checking the details of the base repair expenses with HQ.
NPC-Kalin(4)Kalina||BGM_Hello:...+ Mm, bill it to Area S09's Commander. +Yes, it's still the same account.
()||:After putting down the phone, Kalina looks outside at the Commander, who's heading towards the base, and sighs from the bottom of her heart.
NPC-Kalin(7)Kalina|<黑屏1>||:Sorry about this, Commander...
()||<黑屏2><黑屏1>9:THE REAL END.
()||81<黑屏2>:...At the lively Griffin base party. +As everyone is engrossed in opening and showing their presents off to each other, a sinister silhouette approaches the DVD player, which is currently looping some chill Christmas carols.
KP31(2)Suomi||:I can't believe they're playing something so plain and boring even though it's Christmas. +A big event like this deserves music that's just as grand and spectacular!
()||:Suomi pulls out a death metal album with a black CD case from inside her coat, then gently slides it into the DVD player. +As she turns the volume all the way up and presses the play button, she can't help but whisper to herself—
KP31(2)Suomi||<黑屏1>:Fire—!
()||<黑屏2><黑屏1>9:THE REAL REAL END
()||82<黑屏2>:...An explosion jolts Gr G11 awake from her dreams.
G11(6)Gr G11||:Ugh... What's going on?
()||:Gr G11 rubs her eyes and climbs off the bed.
G11(6)Gr G11||:Whoa— Where am I?
()||:Gr G11 squints and looks around.
G11(6)Gr G11||:Um... isn't this the Commander's room? +Why am I sleeping here?
()||:Gr G11's eyes are drawn to the bill displayed on the monitor.
G11(6)Gr G11||:What a long string of numbers... That's a lot of money! +That scary UMP45... Did she sell me to the Commander at last?
()||<黑屏1>:The abrupt sound of hasty footsteps outside the door startles Gr G11 so much she squeals and tries to flee through the window, only to crash into a warm embrace.
()416||<黑屏2>9:Where are you running, Gr G11?! You almost knocked me down!
()Gr G11||:Where did you guys go (sobs)—
()UMP9||:Hahaha, don't cry, take a look at this!
()||:Gr G11 rubs her eyes and sees an out-of-print Undersea Zombie King action figure from "The Flying Dead"!
()Gr G11||:Wooowww—
()UMP45||:This piece of merch costs as much as you'd make in ten lifetimes of working for me, not counting inflation and collectors' value. Which means, Gr G11—
()||:Gr G11 doesn't wait for UMP45 to finish before she climbs onto 416's back.
()Gr G11||:I know, I'll follow you forever...
()||:As everyone laughs, Gr G11 clings to 416's back, delighted with the figure in her hands...
()Gr G11||<黑屏1>:Merry Christmas... Hehe...
()||<黑屏2>9<白屏1>BGM_Empty:THE REAL REAL REAL END.
()???||<白屏2>142BGM_Moon:There really isn't anything else, Commander.
()???||:You can stop tapping now.
()???||:We're going to go celebrate Christmas—
()???||<黑屏1>:Merry Christmas, dearest Commander!
