()<Speaker>Military Officer B</Speaker>||:Dozens of take-off requests just came in simultaneously for unstated mission objectives! This deviates from the central authority's customary guideline! I demand that we put in an inquiry to Moscow!
()<Speaker>Military Officer A</Speaker>||:You're going over the head of your direct superior to make a report?! +This is treason! +The Military adheres to a strict chain of command! There is only one thing to do when our superior issues an order, and that is to obey.
()<Speaker>Military Officer B</Speaker>||:It isn't just a simple border that we are guarding—we are the first line of defense against Europe! +I must report this to Moscow even at the risk of a dishonorable discharge! +Two MiGs are already on the way. We must hurry!
()<Speaker>Military Officer A</Speaker>||:But what about the border?! Are you planning to ignore their request for support?! +Lieutenant Colonel, we must execute our order immediately!
()<Speaker>Military Officer B</Speaker>||:If we execute the wrong order, an air force won't be the only thing we lose! +Instead of arguing ceaselessly here, we should report this as soon as possible.
()<Speaker>Military Officer A</Speaker>||:We are part of our country's regular army! +If we have to question our superior over any order that we find dubious, we'll end up calling Moscow about everything! +Going over our superior's head is also making trouble for the central authority!

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:The officers exchange looks of confusion. They grudgingly stow away the weapons that they've drawn by reflex and return to their own seats.
M16A1BOSS(2)<Speaker>M16A1</Speaker>||:That was quite the... warm welcome we received, but I hope everyone here has calmed down?
M16A1BOSS(2)<Speaker>WGF Lieutenant Colonel</Speaker><同时置暗>||:Chief Zelinsky isn't one to make unnecessary moves.
M16A1BOSS(2)<Speaker>M16A1</Speaker>||:That's precisely why I'm here. +A Doll can convey a superior's command accurately.
M16A1BOSS(2)<Speaker>WGF Lieutenant Colonel</Speaker><同时置暗>||:...Does the central authority not trust us anymore?
M16A1BOSS(4)<Speaker>M16A1</Speaker>||:They've sent me here to ensure your loyalty—or should I say, to instill some loyalty in you.
M16A1BOSS(4)<Speaker>WGF Lieutenant Colonel</Speaker><同时置暗>||:Statesec reports directly to the central authority. Your loyalty is obviously unimpeachable.
M16A1BOSS(2)<Speaker>M16A1</Speaker>||:But the same cannot be said about this base.
M16A1BOSS(2)<Speaker>WGF Lieutenant Colonel</Speaker><同时置暗>||:...We are loyal to the country.
M16A1BOSS(4)<Speaker>M16A1</Speaker>||:Should I reiterate the mandate of the Military? +Your loyalties can only lie with the central government.

()<Speaker>Military Officer A</Speaker>||:Lieutenant Colonel! We should not have to declare our loyalty to a mere Doll!
()<Speaker>Military Officer B</Speaker>||:She has Statesec papers on her! +Right now she speaks with Statesec's authority, Lieutenant Colonel.
()<Speaker>WGF Lieutenant Colonel</Speaker>||:How are you planning to instill loyalty in us?
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:The corner of M16's lips curl up faintly.
M16A1BOSS(5)<Speaker>M16A1</Speaker>||:I am going to set up a special hotline.
M16A1BOSS(5)<Speaker>WGF Lieutenant Colonel</Speaker><同时置暗>||:...Won't that be bypassing the military district's jurisdiction? +Statesec may be under the central authority, but we do not answer to Statesec.
M16A1BOSS(3)<Speaker>M16A1</Speaker>||:You asked how I would instill loyalty in you, and I gave you the answer. +But at the end of the day, it is on you to prove your loyalty.
M16A1BOSS(4)<Speaker>M16A1</Speaker>||:Unlike you humans, a Doll like me has no such qualms. +This is why Statesec has sent me.
()<Speaker>Military Officer A</Speaker>||:...We have received over 20 operation directives at the same time; there's no way for us to tell which are genuine.
()<Speaker>Military Officer B</Speaker>||:Then the special hotline is the only genuine thing we can trust.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:M16 holds the silent Lieutenant Colonel's gaze.
M16A1BOSS(2)<Speaker>M16A1</Speaker>||:This base is hardly the only one that's been thrown into utter disarray, I'm sure. +However, Statesec only sent me to this particular one.
M16A1BOSS(2)<Speaker>WGF Lieutenant Colonel</Speaker><同时置暗>||:...I understand. We will call the special hotline... +And obey all commands from the central authority.
M16A1BOSS(3)<Speaker>M16A1</Speaker>||:Then that concludes the first task on my agenda.

M16A1BOSS(2)<Speaker>M16A1</Speaker>||:Now for my second task, which marks the true beginning of my actual operation... +I need to carry out a secret mission on behalf of Statesec, and I require some support.
