()||202<黑屏2>BGM_WakeAVG_engine_speedup:... +On the moving vehicle... +The Commander has covered Elsa's body with a white cloth. +Though their distress is nowhere near Machlian's, the knowledge that an innocent child has suffered such a terrible fate fills their heart with raging fury.
NPC-Machlian(6)Machlian||:...I'm sorry, Robin. +But I have to bury Elsa myself. If you will only allow me one thing...let me do that.
()Commander||:That's fine.
()||:Machlian looks silently at the covered corpse and clenches her fists. +After a simple bandage, her palm is no longer bleeding.
()Commander||:You don't need to take part in the upcoming mission. +The situation in the prison may be more complicated than what we've encountered so far.
NPC-Machlian(6)Machlian||:I've already paid the price for running from my problems, Robin.
()||:Machlian shakes her head lightly.
NPC-Machlian(6)Machlian||:...It's far too heavy.
NPC-Machlian(6)Commander||:...
NPC-Machlian(6)Machlian||:In Bohnsdorf, I could almost live a real human being. +But in the end, reality showed me that it was all a lie. +I don't even know if what I've done has meaning anymore.
NPC-Machlian(6)Commander||:Elia might have deceived you, but what you did was far from meaningless. +...Elsa was innocent. Even to the very end, she believed in you, her Saint.
NPC-Machlian(6)Machlian||:Yes, she believed in me. +And what good did that do her?
()||:Machlian looks up, a sad smile on her face.
NPC-Machlian(6)Machlian||:I couldn't do anything...
()||:The Commander falls silent and shakes their head. +They have seen hell so many times, they are hardly fazed by the tragedy that befell Bohnsdorf. +But for Machlian, this blow is too much to bear. +...Does this mean they've become indifferent to it all?
NPC-Machlian(5)Machlian||:...
()||:As Machlian gazes at the Commander, her expression suddenly shifts.
NPC-Machlian(5)Machlian||:You're also a semi-immunosome, Robin.
NPC-Machlian(5)Commander||:A what?
NPC-Machlian(5)Machlian||:You're like me. You're partially immune. +That's why you weren't affected by exposure to Collapse Particles at such close range back in the village.
NPC-Machlian(5)Commander||:...It's a long story.
NPC-Machlian(8)Machlian||:...You really aren't with Paradeus, Robin.
()||:Machlian smiles. The Commander doesn't know what to say to that. +Just then, Perosa walks over and breaks up the awkwardness.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:Our next destination is the prison. +While I don't think what happened at the quarantine wall is likely to repeat itself... We should still be careful. +Shall we contact the Earl?
VP1915(0)Commander||:Yeah. I was just about to bring him up to speed.
VP1915(0)Perosa||:Understood.
()||AVG_tele_connectBGM_Empty:The transmission goes through.
NPC-Griffin(1)Griffin<通讯框>||:Commander. +Considering the timing of this call... +I assume you have good news for me.
NPC-Griffin(1)Commander<通讯框>||BGM_Room:...Good and bad in equal measure. +The truth is, Mr. Griffin, we've already investigated three of the locations you sent us. +We encountered Paradeus forces at each of them, as well as the explosives they had hidden there. +Machlian's memories are reliable.
()||:The Commander looks at Machlian and hesitates.
()Commander||:While we did succeed in stopping them for the most part, a tragedy still took place in Bohnsdorf. +I've handed the scene over to the government authorities, but the casualties are still severe...
NPC-Griffin(1)Griffin<通讯框>||:Since the veracity of Machlian's memory fragments has been verified... +You should turn her over to me. +We might be able to find some information on William now.
NPC-Machlian(7)Machlian||:...!!
()||:Machlian blanches and frantically shakes her head at the Commander.
()Commander||:I'm sorry, Mr. Griffin... But I might not be able to do that for the time being. +Our mission is at a critical phase and we still need Machlian's assistance. +Once we take care of Paradeus, we can further analyze Machlian's memory fragments.
NPC-Griffin(0)Griffin<通讯框>||:...I see no problem with your decision. +Do you have anything else to report?
NPC-Griffin(0)Commander<通讯框>||:We'll be heading over to Berlin Prison to conduct an investigation. We were hoping that you would give us clearance to do so, Mr. Griffin.
NPC-Griffin(0)Griffin<通讯框>||:I see. Let Perosa handle it. +...Keep up the good work, Commander. I have a very good feeling about you.
NPC-Griffin(0)Commander<通讯框>||:Thank you.
NPC-Griffin(1)Griffin<通讯框>||:Oh yes, there is one more thing I need to tell you.
NPC-Griffin(1)Commander<通讯框>||:What is it?
NPC-Griffin(1)Griffin<通讯框>||:Angelia's actions have been too impulsive as of late. +There are some things which she will not listen to if they come from me, so I need you to help make her see sense. +I value both of you a great deal, and I hope you can help each other more.
NPC-Griffin(0)Commander<通讯框>||:Understood. Thank you.
()||AVG_tele_disconnect:The transmission ends.
NPC-Machlian(6)Machlian||:...Thank you, Robin.
()Commander||:No problem.
()||:The Commander shakes their head and looks at the map... They're almost at Berlin Prison.
()Commander||:I hope things work out this time round...
()||<黑点1>:
()||<黑点2>158AVG_21Winter_Open_Light:Berlin Prison. +In the main control room.
()Warden||:I find it very difficult to comply with your request. +You're asking me to let in such a large group of Dolls to search the prison all of a sudden? +This is outrageous.
()Commander||:I am being absolutely serious. There is a high chance that the prison is rigged with explosives planted by terrorists. +If you don't believe me, your men are welcome to come along and follow our inspection.
()Warden||:You can't possibly expect me to believe that sort of nonsense.
()Commander||:We're here with the appropriate clearances, so it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. +Even if we did turn out to be illegal intruders, you wouldn't be blamed for letting us in. +But conversely, if the prison has really been compromised and we miss the critical time frame because of your interference... Will you take responsibility for THAT?
()Warden||:I...
()||:The chief warden hesitates. Though he doesn't want to do this, the permit presented by the Commander is valid and effective.
()Warden||:...Alright, I understand. +But I'm telling you, you're just wasting your time!
()Commander||:Thank you for your cooperation.
()||:The Commander breathes a sigh of relief. For a moment, they thought there would be no way to settle this peacefully. +Unlike the previous sites, they're in the middle of the city now... Surely Paradeus isn't so bold that they'd strike here, right?
NytoIsomer(7)Dandelion||:... +Mr. Warden, just out of curiosity... +Has anything strange happened in the prison recently?
()Warden||:Anything strange?
()||:The warden rubs his chin thoughtfully.
()Warden||:Nothing comes to mind. Apart from the arrival of the most recent batch of convicts, it has been pretty uneventful here at the prison. +As you know, very few criminals actually make it into prison alive these days.
()Commander||:Dandelion, is something bothering you?
NytoIsomer(7)Dandelion||:I just hacked into the prison systems. +The automatic security systems are all offline. +They have all been very thoroughly sabotaged and cannot be repaired.
()Warden||:Say what?! You hacked into what?!
()Warden||:Wait a minute, the security's offline? Nobody told me about that!
()Commander||BGM_Empty:...Crap.
()||RunStep:Knock knock knock!
()z||AVG_Door_Hit:Warden, Warden! This is bad!
()Warden||:What happened?!
()Prison Officer||:The prisoners... The prisoners are rioting!
()Warden||BGM_Danger:—!
()||:The Warden gapes, then he collapses to the ground, fainting on the spot.
AR15Mod(4)ST AR-15||:Tsk. +It's just one thing after another!
NytoIsomer(7)Dandelion||:Commander, you and Machlian should stay here. The situation is going to be very chaotic and we must prioritize your safety.
RO635Mod(0)RO635||:The convicts couldn't have done this by themselves. Paradeus must have sneaked some of their people in here.
()Commander||:45, you and Dandelion head to the control room and verify the situation. +Also, root out any Paradeus units hiding among the convicts.
UMP45Mod(0)UMP45<通讯框>||AVG_tele_connect:Understood.
()Commander||AVG_tele_disconnect:Perosa, back up the prison officers! Suppress the riots and—
()||<震屏3>Explode:Boom!
()Prison Officer||:They've got bombs!
()Commander||:—And disarm those bombs. +You must not allow the convicts to get on the streets!
VP1915(0)Perosa||:Roger!
