AR18(6)Instructor Я0,70;NPC-Ange(0)||<边框>2:I would like to know what grave error I have committed as a field commander. AR18(6)0,70;NPC-Ange(0)Angelia||<边框>2:You still haven't figured that out? AR18(6)Instructor Я0,70;NPC-Ange(0)||<边框>2:...Please enlighten me. AR18(6)Instructor Я0,70;NPC-Ange(0)||<边框>2:I have been giving orders according to the training that I've received. +I gave the order to withdraw as instructed by the command handbook. Judging by the result, it was a sound decision. AR18(6)0,70;NPC-Ange(0)Angelia||<边框>2:Why didn't you go with your subordinates' recommendation? AR18(6)Instructor Я0,70;NPC-Ange(0)||<边框>2:...The risks were too great. NPC-Ange(0)Angelia||<边框>2:There, that's your grave error. +Your judgment is too by-the-book. ()||ClothingUp<边框>2:After making sure that the injured Dolls are alright, Angelia nods and turns to leave. +Before she exits the tent, she pauses and looks back at Instructor Я. NPC-Ange(0)Angelia||<边框>2:All real "commanders" are forged in the fire of the frontlines. +Tactical handbooks are only just the summation of past experiences.

AR18(6)0,70;AK12(0)AK-120,50||<边框>2:My boss has never been one to mince words. I hope you don't take offense. She's always like that, always demanding too much from everyone, human or Doll. AR18(6)Instructor Я0,70;AK12(0)0,50||<边框>2:...She was right. +The others can't be blamed for not expecting that to happen. +But I have no such excuse. It was indeed a grave error on my part as the commander. AK12(0)AK-120,50||<边框>2:There's no harm in accumulating more experience on the frontlines for Dolls like you. ()||ClothingUp<边框>2:The pale Doll gave Instructor Я a pat on the shoulder. AK12(4)AK-120,50||<边框>2:I look forward to seeing you again. Best of luck.

()||:The two Dolls exchange a long look and nod at each other. ()||AVG_Creep:Then Erma follows Lyudmila's instruction and climbs up with great agility. +Her movements are so neat that she disappears in the blink of an eye, leaving only Lyudmila in the narrow space... and a sudden burst of commotion outside the door. AR18(2)Lyudmila0,70||:...I suddenly remember something, Instructor Я. +You once asked me, "Lyudmila, why are you so obsessed with fighting on the frontlines?" AR18(2)Lyudmila0,70||:You may not remember, but I do—very clearly. +"All real 'commanders' are forged in the fire of the frontlines." AR18(2)Lyudmila0,70||:I have always remembered—always. +And now... I am on the frontlines. ()||:After making sure that Erma has made a smooth exit, Lyudmila takes a deep breath.

NPC-Bodyguard1(0)Danil||:You must be armed, aren't you? Hand over your weapon. Don't play any tricks. AR18(2)Lyudmila0,70||:... ()||ClothingUp:Keeping her hands completely visible, Lyudmila removes her pistol from its holster and hands it over to Danil with the muzzle pointed at herself.

They are also being held hostage by a few retired Military droids. +Four of them, all obsolete and decommissioned. Looks like they got sold on the black market... In principle, their fire control core should have been removed, and yet they are all armed, so better not count on that.

Right now, she is sitting in the most prominent seat, surrounded by the other gangsters. +Lyudmila's eyes narrow. +...This is Baba Lyuba. NPC-Bodyguard1(0)Danil||Stop_AVG_loop:Don't get any silly ideas, Madam Instructor. +It's best to be cooperative. We're just here to procure some goods. Surely you won't do anything stupid. AR18(2)Lyudmila0,70||:... ()||ClothingUp:Danil pushes Lyudmila over to the tied up Dolls by the window and forces her to sit down. ()||:She turns her head to look at a young man standing on the other side. Unlike his gleeful companions, he has a rather dour look on his face. ()||:Nikolai scoffs at Danil's cautious movements. NPC-NervousMan(1)Nikolai||:Do you have to be so careful handling a woman? +You make a show of every little thing you do, don't you? NPC-Bodyguard1(0)Danil||:A gentle reminder that this is a T-Doll.
