()||9<黑屏1>0,10BGM_Empty: ()||<黑屏2>434<黑屏1>10258:...After meeting up with Persica, Kryuger directs the Doll squads to begin moving the neural cloud servers. +The original plan was to avoid the enemies using the Factory's elevators, but the continuous explosions have blocked their path. +The omnipresent enemies and the severe damage to the friendly squads make every decision of Kryuger's a vital one. +As Kryuger decides their next move, the Doll squads stop in the Factory to rest. ()||<黑屏2>415:Thanks to Persica's tinkering, the neural cloud servers are much less of a load on the Dolls, but it is still a very heavy one for the current Doll squads. +Helian scrolls worriedly though the Dolls' statuses on her tablet as she walks toward Persica, who is sitting on the ground and drinking coffee. NPC-Helian(0)Helian||:Persica, is there a way to lighten the servers more? ()||:Persica is so mad that she spits out her coffee. NPC-Persica(1)Persica||:What the hell are you saying? How could I finish software and hardware applicability tests, data compression, device remov— NPC-Helian(0)Helian||:Stop complaining. Just get to the point. NPC-Persica(0)Persica||:No, there isn't! Unless you move the servers back and give me half a month to optimize them! +Oh, and I'll need someone on full-time coffee-brewing duty for me— ()||:Helian sighs and walks over to Kryuger. NPC-Helian(0)Helian||:Mr. Kryuger, given our current situation, I believe it is impossible to move the neural cloud servers away. +Should we consider Persica's suggestion and return the neural cloud servers— NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger||:Helian, do you remember your first mission after joining the Griffin base? NPC-Helian(0)Helian;NPC-Kyruger(0)||:...Yes. NPC-Helian(0);NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger||:Back then, the Griffin base was only a year old or so, and Doll mercenaries were a rare thing. +All of society was watching us unblinkingly, looking forward to us making fools of ourselves. NPC-Helian(0)Helian;NPC-Kyruger(0)||:Yes, back then people still couldn't accept human mercenaries being replaced by Dolls. NPC-Helian(0);NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger||:Your very first mission was to lead a squad of Dolls into the contaminated zones to recover supplies. +Entering the contaminated zones was already extremely risky to begin with, and the first-gen Tactical Dolls was nowhere as efficient as they are now. NPC-Helian(0)Helian;NPC-Kyruger(0)||:But I didn't disgrace Griffin, and the success of the mission even dealt those naysayers a tight slap. NPC-Helian(0);NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger||:Haha... Yes, no matter how much you cried or how much stress you were under, you grit your teeth and completed the mission. NPC-Helian(2)Helian;NPC-Kyruger(0)||:Mr. Kryuger... Why are you bringing up such ancient history...? NPC-Helian(2);NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger||:To me, it feels like it happened yesterday. NPC-Helian(0)Helian;NPC-Kyruger(0)||:... NPC-Helian(0);NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger||:And now, we are at another turning point. NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger||:Once again, Griffin's future is in our hands. NPC-Helian(0)Helian||:...I understand. ()||:Helian gazes at the Dolls working around her. NPC-Helian(0)Helian||<黑屏1>:We'll make it through as well this time. ()||85<黑屏2>BGM_Empty:... Carter's fingers drum rhythmically on the table. NPC-Carter(1)Carter||BGM_NightOPS:Haven't you found the objective yet? NPC-Carter(1);NPC-Soldier(0)Spetsnaz Officer||:We've taken the whole of Basement 1, but we haven't found any traces of humans. NPC-Carter(1)Carter;NPC-Soldier(0)||:Griffin has taken more than 50% Doll casualties so far. This is a very good start. +Don't let up. Press the attack. NPC-Carter(1);NPC-Soldier(0)Spetsnaz Officer||:Understood. NPC-Carter(1)Carter;NPC-Soldier(0)||:Remember at all times that Kryuger is a monster who strikes back the moment he can catch his breath. NPC-Carter(1)Carter||:That is his strength, but if you can make use of it, it can also become a fatal weakness. NPC-Soldier(0)Spetsnaz Officer||:Yes sir! I will inform the men. ()||:The Spetsnaz officer returns to his post and the battle zone inside the Griffin base. +Carter's gaze turns to the floorplan of the Griffin base and the Doll count. NPC-Carter(1)Carter||<黑屏1>:Now how will you turn this around, Kryuger?
