()||<黑屏2>388:...Berlin Airport. +Staff Room.
()Airport Staff||:Thanks for taking over. I'll be heading off.
()Security Chief||:Sure.
()||:After nodding farewell to his subordinate, the Security Chief walks into the changing room.
()||GF_EV9_StorySelect:Click. +A gun is suddenly pressed against his back. He can feel the cold metal through his shirt.
AR15Mod(0)ST AR-15||:Don't move.
()Security Chief||:What do you want?
()||<震屏3>AVG_Punch_Hit:Just as the man questions the aggressor, a sharp pain comes from the inside of his knee. +A merciless blow forces him onto the floor. This time, the muzzle is pressed against his head.
AR15Mod(0)ST AR-15||:Your name is Andor Payne, Security Chief of Berlin Airport Terminal 2.
()Security Chief||:...Yes.
AR15Mod(0)ST AR-15||:At 15:55 this afternoon, a batch of goods were delivered into the airport under your watch.
()Security Chief||:...!
AR15Mod(0)ST AR-15||:Which warehouse have you put the cargo in?
()Security Chief||:I...I don't know what you're talking about.
M4 SOPMOD IIMod(3)M4 SOPMOD II0.1||:HAAAARGH!
()||:Crack! The T-Doll's terrifying roar is followed by the sound of something breaking.
()Security Chief||:Ugh?! AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
()||:The man can't feel his wrist anymore.
AR15Mod(0)ST AR-15||:Don't try my patience. +You know exactly what I'm talking about.
M4 SOPMOD IIMod(3)M4 SOPMOD II||:Be a good boy or next time it'll be your neck that gets broken!
AR15Mod(5)ST AR-15||:The weapons. Where are they?
()Security Chief||:...Weapons?
AR15Mod(0)ST AR-15||:You just moved a batch of biochemical weapons even more terrible than nuclear bombs. +They've been delivered to the largest port in the city and you tell me you don't know about them?!
()Security Chief||:That's impossible! My comrades said...
AR15Mod(0)ST AR-15||:Cut the crap. Just tell us which warehouse it is.
M4 SOPMOD IIMod(3)M4 SOPMOD II||:Grrrr! Spit it out already!
()Security Chief||:... +...Alright.
()||:...
()||<黑点1>:
()||<黑点2>85:Airport Operations.
AR15Mod(0)ST AR-15<通讯框>||AVG_tele_connect:...We have tracked down the cargo's location, but we'll need a manager's access clearance to enter the warehouse.
AR15Mod(0)Commander<通讯框>||:Got it. Stay where you are and wait for me.
()||AVG_tele_disconnect:After hanging up, the Commander turns to look at the manager behind them.
()Commander||:You heard that. We need your access clearance.
()Manager||:...I have already overstepped by divulging our logistics information, now you're demanding access to a private...
KH2002(0)Khaybar||:I'm very sorry, but this is not up for discussion.
KH2002(0)Khaybar||AVG_20Winter_Book:This is an official document that gives our Commander the highest authority here. You see how this works now?
()Manager||:...Right. I will notify the person-in-charge of that zone. +I will take you to the warehouse later, but you must be present yourself and take responsibility for the Dolls.
()Commander||:No problem.
()||AVG_Door_Open_Close:The manager storms out of the room.
()Commander||:...Phew, the Earl's name does come in handy.
KH2002(0)Khaybar||:...It's a double-edged sword. We should keep a lower profile.
()Commander||:As for you...
()||:Commander looks at Morridow, who has been sitting quietly and demurely on the chair throughout the whole exchange.
()Commander||:You just stay here.
NPC-Morridow(8)Morridow0,90||:Whatever you say.
()Commander||:... +We need someone to coordinate with us at the control room. +It can't be anyone else but M4, and since M4 is staying, so are you.
()||:M4 is about to say something, but thinks the better of it. She simply nods.
RO635Mod(0)RO635||ClothingUp:I'm staying too.
()||:To everyone's surprise, RO635 raises a hand.
RO635Mod(0)RO635||:Let me stay to protect M4.
RO635Mod(0)Commander||:...That's a good idea. +If anything happens, let us know immediately.
RO635Mod(0)RO635||:Yes, Commander.
()Commander||:The rest of you come with me. Prepare to link up with AR-15.
()Group||:Yes, Commander!
()||AVG_doorknock_wood:The manager, who has just returned, knocks on the door of the control room.
()Manager||AVG_20Winter_Door_Open:I have everything sorted out. Follow me.
()||:The group files out of the room with the Commander in the lead.
NytoIsomer(10)M4A1||AVG_20Winter_Door_Close:...
RO635Mod(0)RO635||:...
()||:The control room is engulfed in an awkward silence.
NytoIsomer(10)M4A1||:...We need to talk, Morridow.
RO635Mod(0)RO635||:Don't waste your breath, M4.
NPC-Morridow(8)Morridow0,90||:Heh, ye of little faith.
RO635Mod(4)RO635||:Nothing about you is worth a shred of trust.
()||:After bringing up the surveillance feed of the designated area, RO635 turns around and glares at Morridow, who's looking rather smug.
NPC-Morridow(8)Morridow0,90||:Not faith in me, Doll. +You seem awfully worried about leaving me alone with Nimogen. Doesn't this mean that you don't trust her at all?
RO635Mod(0)RO635||:...And here I was expecting something important. You think this would be enough to turn us against each other?
NytoIsomer(10)M4A1||:...Are you jealous of our bond? +They do trust me a great deal, and this is something you don't have.
()||:Morridow narrows her eyes and smiles darkly at M4.
NPC-Morridow(8)Morridow0,90||:Alright, what do you want with me?
NytoIsomer(10)M4A1||:... +...RO.
()||:M4 looks towards RO635.
RO635Mod(0)RO635||:What is it, M4?
NytoIsomer(10)M4A1||:I really hate to ask this... +But I want to be alone with her for a while.
RO635Mod(3)RO635||:Sure... What?
()||:RO answers without thinking. She does a double take when she finally registers what M4 just asked of her.
RO635Mod(3)RO635||:But why?! I can't possibly leave the two of you together!
NytoIsomer(10)M4A1||:...Calm down, RO. It's not like she can do anything to me.
RO635Mod(3)RO635||:B-but what's there to discuss with her? Besides, you...
()||:RO looks at M4 with concern.
NytoIsomer(10)M4A1||:It'll be fine.
()||:M4A1 smiles gently. Despite her feebleness, she is still radiating fortitude and great resolve.
NytoIsomer(11)M4A1||:...Please.
NPC-Morridow(8)Morridow0,90||:Hold on, isn't anyone gonna ask my opinion? +I don't want to be alone with her!
RO635Mod(4)RO635||:Shut up! You have no say.
NPC-Morridow(8)Morridow0,90||:...
NytoIsomer(10)M4A1||:...Morridow, I once told you I needed a proper moment. +I believe this is it. We can have a proper talk now.
NPC-Morridow(8)Morridow0,90||:...Are you for real? +Then why don't you show me... How far you're willing to go?
()||:M4 pauses before looking up at RO635 again.
NytoIsomer(10)M4A1||:I'll explain everything to you later, RO. +Just let me talk to her alone for now, okay?
RO635Mod(2)RO635||:...
RO635Mod(0)RO635||:I'll be waiting outside the door. If anything happens, make sure you give me a shout.
NytoIsomer(13)M4A1||:Yeah, I will. I promise.
()||:RO635 turns and leaves the control room. The last thing she hears before closing the door is...
()M4A1||:...If that's your wish, I can fulfill it.
RO635Mod(0)RO635||:...
()||:Fulfill? Fulfill what? +After a brief moment of hesitation, she presses her ear against the door, but she can't hear any of the conversation at all.
RO635Mod(0)RO635||:M4...
()||:Outside the door, RO635 holds her gun tightly in her hands, her thoughts all jumbled. +...She trusts M4. She's made to trust her no matter what. +But if even she can't tell what M4 is thinking... +Who can?
()||:...
()||<黑屏1>:
()||<黑屏2>9BGM_Empty:At the Griffin base.
()||<黑屏1>:
()||<黑屏2>119:Kryuger studies the namelist before him and picks up his cup of coffee thoughtfully.
()Helian||:What should we do about the Commander's request for reinforcements?
()Kryuger||:The Earl had Havier send a mobile construction vehicle, it's on its way... Very generous of him.
()Helian||:He actually did that...? +Looks the Commander really needs those reinforcements desperately.
()Kryuger||:How much longer will it take for our T-Doll forces to be fully replenished?
()Helian||AVG_20Winter_Book:...We don't have a specific timeframe. +But it definitely won't be any time soon. +At our current progress, I'm afraid our forces can't give the Commander sufficient fire support.
()Kryuger||:... +Looks like we have no choice but to send them.
()Helian||:We will be a lot more vulnerable here at the base with them away.
()Kryuger||:Right now, the Commander needs their strength more than we do. +No matter what the Earl is planning to do, our priority must be to ensure the Commander's safety.
()Helian||:...You're right.
()Kryuger||:Let them have some fun.
()Helian||:Understood. Leave it to me.
