()||<黑屏2>16910220:At the Berlin quarantine wall.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:Thank you for your cooperation.
()Guard||:You're welcome. It's our job.
()||:The smiling guard brings Perosa to the power room. His attitude has done a complete 180, and he is now extremely cooperative.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:Thank goodness for that search warrant from the Earl... +Things wouldn't have gone so smoothly without it.
()||:However, Perosa still has her doubts. +She can't deny that Machlian is the key to all this, but would everything in Machlian's memory come to pass? +Perosa puts a big question mark on tat. +Leaving the other locations aside... Berlin's quarantine wall is essentially the city's front door, and the security here is on par with the Bundeskanzleramt. +Even the guard in front of her is an elite member of the military force. Sneaking past him to destroy the quarantine wall is practically impossible.
()Guard||:Still, this is strange. +Why would the brass suddenly think of checking for security issues here?
VP1915(0)Perosa||:...Well, you're guarding the gateway to Berlin, so you can't fault them for being too cautious.
()Guard||:Haha, you might be a Doll, but you have a way with words.
()||:The man disables the lock to the power room and opens the door cheerfully.
()Guard||:Go ahead and look. I guarantee you won't find any issue here.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:Alright, don't mind if I do.
()||:Still, suspicions are suspicions and orders are orders. +Perosa is not going to slack off on a mission she's been given. +She has the trust of even the famously picky Griffin. Perosa's vast stores of knowledge and experience, gathered over long years of service, are her greatest weapon.
()Guard||:Speaking of which, those friends of yours all look like very new models.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:...No, Fedorov and Kolibri are from the same batch as me.
()||:As she checks behind the equipment, Perosa exchanges the occasional word with the man.
()Guard||:And the other two are your subordinates?
VP1915(0)Perosa||:...Yeah.
()Guard||:The man is incredibly frivolous for a security guard. +Perosa furrows her brow, but she keeps her misgivings to herself.
VP1915(0)Perosa||AVG_tele_connect:...Kolibri, come in. How's the investigation on your end?
()||AVG_whitenoise:Pzzzt... +The communicator emits a burst of ear-piercing static, and Perosa gets no reply.
()Guard||:Sorry, but signal reception in here isn't too good. +We block all electronic broadcasts for security reasons.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:Is that so?
()||:Perosa looks back at the guard, who is all smiles.
()||AVG_21Winter_Error:As Perosa heads deeper into the room, the man locks the door behind him quietly.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:I've finished my inspection. Please open the door.
()Guard||:You're done? So soon?
()||:The guard looks a little surprised.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:That's because there's nothing to check.
()Guard||:Haha, really? +I guess so. I mean, this IS the quarantine wall, what problem could there be? +We've always...
VP1915(0)Perosa||:There are three bombs in total, all placed in the most vital locations. +Once they go off, this section of the quarantine wall will be paralyzed in 15 seconds. +Only someone who's intimately familiar with this place could have planted them.
()Guard||:...
VP1915(0)Perosa||:...Is there anything else you'd like to say?
()||:The guard's smile grows stiff before his face slowly darkens.
()Guard||:Do you really think you can stand in the way of Paradeus' great work?
VP1915(0)Perosa||:But we already do, isn't that right?
()||AVG_weapon_reloadSelect:Whoosh!
()||:Both of them raise their guns at the same time.
()||BGM_EmptyAVG_rifle_finalshot_n:Bang! +However, there is only one gunshot.
()||:Perosa puts her gun down, looking at the fallen human and the blood splattered on the wall behind him.
()||ClothingUp:She approaches the corpse, searches it briefly, and finds the signal jammer.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:...The channels we use aren't blocked by standard jamming equipment, amateur.
()||AVG_whitenoise:Zzzzt—
Kolibri(0)Kolibri<通讯框>||AVG_tele_connect:Perosa? You there? I could hear some comm static.
VP1915(0)Perosa;Kolibri(0)<通讯框>||:I'm here. I've settled things on my end. How about you?
VP1915(0);Kolibri(0)Kolibri<通讯框>||:We had three here. Fedorov killed them all. +The Earl won't get mad at us, I hope?
VP1915(0)Perosa;Kolibri(0)<通讯框>||:...They were all rotten fruit. We were simply doing some pruning. +Raise the alarm. The government needs to know what happened here.
VP1915(0);Kolibri(0)Kolibri<通讯框>||:Already done.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:Savage? Are you online? Sitrep.
VP1915(0);Savage99(0)Savage<通讯框>||AVG_tele_connect:I'm on the roof, things have been taken care of. Derringer caused a bit of trouble and I'm clearing up the aftermath. +They put a huge pile of mines on the shore guns.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:...Stay there. I'll handle the other places.
VP1915(0);Kolibri(0)Kolibri<通讯框>||:Yo yo! Dumbasses should just stay where dumbasses ought to be.
VP1915(0)Perosa;Kolibri(0)<通讯框>||:No, what I mean is...
VP1915(0);Savage99(0)Savage<通讯框>||:If they're sabotaging the shore guns, then it's very likely that they ARE planning to attack the quarantine wall. +They must be working in tandem with the people outside, which is why they were plotting to disable the wall's defensive capabilities.
VP1915(0)Perosa;Savage99(0)<通讯框>||:...Correct, that's what I meant. +You picked up on that fast.
VP1915(0);Savage99(0)Savage<通讯框>||:...That's because they're already here! Perosa!
VP1915(0);Savage99(0)Savage<通讯框>||BGM_Danger:Large enemy forces approaching! +They're being led by that Nyto we saw before!
VP1915(0)Perosa||:What?!
VP1915(0);Kolibri(0)Kolibri<通讯框>||GunfightAVG_keyboardtype_sci:Perosa! This is bad! +That stupid Fedorov didn't check properly before sounding the alarm. +...Turns out the transmission circuit was altered, so it doesn't go inside the wall, but outside it!
VP1915(0)Perosa||:So they're launching the attack now because they know their plan is a bust?
()||AVG_tele_connect:Click. +A new channel connects to Perosa's transmission.
()Commander||:Perosa, what's going on? +I can hear gunfire from beyond the quarantine wall.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:Commander! It's Paradeus! +Paradeus is attacking the quarantine wall! +They've turned the entire garrison. We're isolated here!
()Commander||:...Hang in there. +We've already arrived.
