()||9<黑屏1>0,10BGM_Empty: ()||<黑屏2>:... +This is...the sensation of sunlight piercing through my eyelids. ()||AVG_AMB_waves_and_seagulls_oneshot:As I start regaining my consciousness, I can once again hear the splashing sea waves. +I'm too weak to move my body. My arms feel like they're being crushed by something heavy, I can't even lift them to shield my eyes from the light. ()||<白屏1>:... +What's with this feeling of déjà vu? ()||<白屏2>162event_summer_Title:No sooner had this question come to mind did I start feeling something lodged inside my chest. After a violent bout of coughing, I open my eyes. P38(2)P38||:Commander, you're finally awake! +R93! R93(2)R93||:Phew... That's a relief. ()Commander||:R93...? P38(2)P38||:Commander, shouldn't you have said my name first? R93(2)R93||:Is this really the problem...? ()Commander||:Hold on, I remember I was just... No, what happened? Where am I? P38(2)P38||:Uh, we're searching for... R93(2)R93||:P38 and I are investigating a few undeveloped areas on the island! P38(2)P38||:Huh...? Oh! +That's right, we're investigating the undeveloped areas, yes~ ()||:The two Dolls are definitely up to something, but I don't have the energy to dwell on that right now as all my attention is drawn to my own body. I'm in a lot of pain, as if I just got beaten up... Maybe I bumped into the reefs in the sea? +For some reason, the image of a small unidentified object flying at me comes to mind again...and the sensation of the back of my head hitting a reef... ()Commander||:Ow, ow, ow... Man, I hit my head hard. What was I planning to do before that? ()||:As I scowl hard in deep thought, I notice P38's face darkening. P38(2)P38||:Is...is this really okay? P38(2)P38||:R93, why don't we escort the Commander back first? R93(2)R93||:But then we won't have time! Don't back out on me right now! ()Commander||:Right, the beach. +We were ambushed on the beach by unknown enemies. We've got to hurry back... +Help me up. R93(2)R93||:C-Commander! ()Commander||:Yes? R93(2)R93||:... +The way back is a bit complicated. We'll lead the way. ()Commander||<黑屏1>BGM_Empty:Alright, please do. ()||<黑屏2>1BGM_Sneak:After a short rest, my strength has recovered a little. With the Dolls' help, we enter the forest before us. ()||:The terrain seems completely different from how it appeared in yesterday's investigation, and the winding path we take makes me lose all sense of direction. P38(2)P38||:R93, we aren't going back the way we came, are we? P38(2);R93(2)R93||:You think so? P38(2)P38;R93(2)||:The Commander looks mostly alright, but I still think we should go back first... P38(2);R93(2)R93||:We're just one step away from the luck-changing treasure. I don't want to give up when we're so close. +By the way, I seem to recall seeing a thread with zero replies on Griffin's anonymous forum posted by a certain Doll who's good at playing beach volleyball. P38(2)P38;R93(2)||:Shush! P38(2);R93(2)R93||:Since we've come to an understanding, let's proceed according to the plan. P38(2)P38;R93(2)||:Hmm... P38(2);R93(2)R93||:Besides, all problems will be solved if we find the treasure together with the Commander, isn't that right? P38(2)P38||:You...you do have a point, I suppose. ()Commander||:What is this silent conversation you're having with your eyes? R93(2)R93||:We're trying to remember the way back. ()Commander||:Really? +Speaking of which, I've been finding it increasingly difficult to traverse this terrain. Are you sure this is the way you came? P38(2)P38||:W-well... ()Commander||:Also, you seem to be a bit...hmm? ()||:As I'm about to question them further, a massive structure that's almost completely absorbed by the forest suddenly comes into view. R93(2)R93||:We...we found it! ()Commander||:What? ()||:R93 is overjoyed. That's when I notice the old and soggy map in her hand. ()Commander||:What's that you're holding? ()||:R93 doesn't reply. She paces back and forth, referring to the map the whole time. +The construct is blocked by a wall and the main entrance is right in front of us. Beneath the moss that's grown all over it seems to be the insignia of the Military. R93(2)R93||:Strange. This looks a bit different than how I imagined it would be... ()Commander||BGM_Empty:Wait, what are you doing? ()||BGM_Empty:R93 mutters to herself as she walks up to the door. I'm just about to stop her when the small device on the wall emits a red laser ray. ()Commander||BGM_War:Crap! ()||Alarm:I know very well what this means, but it's already too late. The red laser gives us a sweep and an ear-splitting alarm goes off. +We've triggered the still operational defense system. ()Commander||:R93, get out of there now! ()||:At the sign of trouble, R93 stops poring over her map and runs back to help me escape. +But with a mechanical whir, a number of conveyor platforms rise up around us, carrying a large troop of autonomous mech units from underground – the very same ones that attacked us on the beach. R93(2)R93||:Oh, just our luck! P38(2)P38||:Commander, I think we're being surrounded! ()Commander||:Keep calm and send a distress signal! ()||:R93 promptly does as I say and looks at me, waiting for her next order. ()Commander||<黑点2>10:Let's hope we can get through this before they receive the signal and make their way here.
