()||530<黑屏2>BGM_stage11:Gangway connection between Carriages F02 and 03 on the Intercontinental Railway train "Future".
()||AVG_Explo_Close%%type_id=2%%duration=1%%delay=0.1%%range=8:Boom!
()||Explode%%type_id=2%%duration=1%%delay=0.1%%range=8:Bam! +Under the Vory's ruthless barrage, the sturdy door finally starts to buckle.
()||AVG_alarm:Beep-beep-beep! +Just then, the alarm on the train suddenly blares in warning.
()||Explode%%type_id=2%%duration=1%%delay=0.1%%range=8:Encouraged by that, the Vory double down and fire with even more gusto.
()||AVG_BaseDoor_Open:Crack...
()Vor A||:It's open!
()||:With a soft splitting noise, the tightly shut door suddenly opens a crack. +Nikolai draws his pistol and charges in with three other Vory.
NPC-Bodyguard1(0)Danil||:We're going in too.
()||AVG_Wheelchair<黑点1>:Danil pushes Baba Lyuba's wheelchair and follows suit with a few other subordinates. +...
()||<黑点2>529:Carriage F02, Intercontinental Railway train "Future".
()||AVG_Team_Running:The Vory pour into the carriage. +With all the lights off, the carriage is shrouded in darkness. +Using the dim lights coming from outside the window, Nikolai squints and peers around.
NPC-NervousMan(0)Nikolai||:Be careful.
()Vor A||:Right. +Mr. Nikolai... do you smell something?
NPC-NervousMan(0)Nikolai||:Smell? I'm not noticing any smell. You?
()Vor B||:Me neither.
()||:The carriage is devoid of passengers and Dolls. The open safe is also empty. +If this train is a mountain of treasure, then right now this carriage is the most barren part of the mountain. +Danil's brow furrows.
NPC-Bodyguard1(0)Danil||:Look over there.
()||:Danil directs everyone's attention to the center of the carriage. +The Vory who have been assigned to guard the carriage are now bound and on their knees. +Blindfolded and gagged, they yammer unintelligibly. +Nikolai rushes up and tears off one of the Vory's gag, and the Vory immediately cries out.
()Vor A||BGM_Empty:It's a trap!!!
NPC-Bodyguard1(0)0.1Danil||GF_2022_Summer_Battle_2:Watch out!
()||%%code=AVG_chuxian_yan%%:Pssssss... +But his warning comes too late. The dark carriage is suddenly pumped full of liquefied gas.
NPC-NervousMan(0)Nikolai0.1||:—?! +What's that noise?
NPC-Bodyguard1(0)Danil||:Careful! +It's purification gas!
()||%%code=AVG_chuxian_yan%%:Psssss... +East, south, west, and north. +Gas spews from nozzles in all four corners of the carriage, further obscuring the Vory's vision.
NPC-Bodyguard1(0)Danil||:Masks on!
()||:At Danil's command, the Vory all take out their gas masks and put them on.
NPC-NervousMan(0)Nikolai||:The alarm didn't go off...
()||:In just a few seconds, the gas has already filled the entire carriage. +The space is dark to begin with, but now they can barely see past their nose.
NPC-OldLady(1)Baba Lyuba||:...
()||Rope:Baba Lyuba, who has been hanging back by the door, suddenly notices something and grabs hold of Danil, who is putting a gas mask on her.
NPC-OldLady(1)Baba Lyuba||:Watch the door!
()||AVG_Cloak_Whoosh:A dark shadow brushes past Danil.
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila||:...
()||AVG_Door_Hit<震屏3>:Thunk!
NPC-Bodyguard1(0)0.1Danil||:—What was that?!
()Gangster||:...S-something's in here!
()||AVG_Door_Hit<震屏3>:Thunk!
()||AVG_Cloak_Whoosh:Under the cover of darkness and heavy mist, a gray specter weaves its way through the crowd. +In spite of Baba Lyuba's order, the Vory are too disoriented to respond in time—
()||AVG_Door_Hit<震屏3>:—Thunk! +The man blocking the specter's way instantly loses consciousness and hits the floor heavily.
NPC-NervousMan(0)Nikolai||:...?!
()||:In the center of the carriage, Nikolai suddenly feels a chill behind his back. When he swivels around, he catches sight of the specter who has made her way around Baba Lyuba. +Baba Lyuba, still busy scanning the carriage, is completely oblivious to the fact that the target she is searching for is right next to her.
NPC-NervousMan(0)0.1Nikolai||:Danil, behind you! Get her! Shoot!!!
()||Gunfight:Bang-bang-bang!!!
()||<黑屏1>:...
()||<黑屏2>530<回忆>BGM_Empty:Five minutes earlier.
()||GF_2022_Summer_AVG_3:After listening to Lyudmila's plan, Erma stares at her in confusion.
Erma(2)Erma||:...You're charging in on your own? +Then what are the two of us supposed to do?
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila?||:You must have seen this contraption when you were crawling through the ventilation shafts earlier.
()||ClothingUp:Lyudmila grabs a pen and sketches out a filter.
Erma(0)Erma||:...It does ring a bell.
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila?||:On my signal, unplug this thing.
ColtWalker(3)Maggie||:...You planning to die along with them? +Radiation levels in the Red Zone are high, but the Vory all carry gas masks. Not to mention, the carriage has a built-in purification system.
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila?||:I'm aware of that.
()||AVG_File_Put:Lyudmila reaches up and dismantles the alarm.
ColtWalker(1)Maggie||:...I see.
Erma(2)Erma||:What are you getting at?
ColtWalker(1)Maggie||:The purification gas is opaque. +For a T-Doll, it will be the perfect smokescreen.
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila?||:Verify your clocks.
()||:Maggie and Erma take a moment to calibrate their internal clocks, then nod at Lyudmila.
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila?||:Once you have disabled the filters in the ventilation shafts, move over to Carriage 9 right away. Wait for my signal. +You only have three minutes.
ColtWalker(1)Maggie||:No problem. +I'll lock the door.
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila?||:Then let's prepare to make our move.
Erma(0)Erma||:Wait.
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila?;Erma(0)||:What?
AR18(2)0,70;Erma(0)Erma||:Don't we need a codename for the operation? +I've never done anything like this before, but don't operations like this always get a name in TV shows?
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila?;Erma(0)||:...You should watch less television.
Erma(0)Erma||:"Anchor". How's that for a codename?
ColtWalker(1)Maggie||:Why this word?
Erma(0)Erma||:It's my favorite word.
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila?||:...Enough idle chit-chat. +Get ready.
()||<黑点1>:...
()||<黑点2>9Gunfight<关闭蒙版>:Intense gunshots come through the ventilation shaft. Erma stops in her tracks out of worry.
Erma(1)Erma||AVG_Creep:Can she really handle it?
ColtWalker(1)Maggie;Erma(1)||:She originally has attack points of 530,000, but we're giving her a debuff so it's now only 430,000! +Instead of fretting, just keep crawling and go faster.
ColtWalker(1);Erma(0)Erma||:...Say that to yourself. +I'm going really fast; you, on the other hand...
ColtWalker(3)Maggie;Erma(0)||:...You think I want to be this slow? +Maybe you should just leave me in here...
ColtWalker(3);Erma(0)Erma||:No way! +...Why have you stopped?
ColtWalker(3)Maggie;Erma(0)||Rope:I'm stuck. Give me a shove.
Erma(0)Erma||AVG_Creep:...

()||<黑点2><关闭蒙版>528BGM_Empty:Carriage F09 (Dining Carriage), Intercontinental Railway train "Future".
()||AVG_Door_Hit<震屏3>GF_2022_Summer_Battle_1:Thunk! +The sentry droid topples over. +The oblivious human passengers are left completely flummoxed by the situation that has suddenly arisen. +They gawk at the two Dolls who have seemingly appeared out of nowhere, not knowing whether to beg for help or mercy, so instead, they just panic even more.
Erma(0)Erma||:You're surprisingly capable. +It took you less than half a minute to take out these muscleheads.
()||:Still holding a fire extinguisher, Erma can't help but compliment Maggie.
ColtWalker(1)Maggie||:Fighting isn't just about brute force. +I use my brains.
()||AVG_whitenoise:Maggie promptly turns off the jammer and restores communications in the entire carriage. +She then makes a beeline for Catherine to untie her.
()||ClothingUp:But before she can pull on the rope, Erma grabs at the hem of her coat and drags her off to the other end of the carriage.
Erma(0)Erma||:We need to help Lyudmila first!
()||RunStep:The Dolls hurry to the bar counter in the dining carriage.
Erma(0)Erma||:Open the door!
ColtWalker(1)Maggie;Erma(0)||:Don't rush! We're supposed to wait for her signal!
ColtWalker(1);Erma(0)Erma||:...I've been trying to contact her since we came out of the ventilation shafts. +But there's been no response...
ColtWalker(3)Maggie||BGM_Empty:...
()||:They are only 20 seconds away from the agreed time.
()||GF_21summer_avg_ReunionGunfight:Bang-bang-bang!!
()||:As if to fuel Erma's anxiety, intense gunshots ring out once again on the other side of the door. +Erma blanches immediately.
Erma(1)Erma||:Lyudmila... She'll be fine, right?
ColtWalker(1)Maggie||:...Don't worry, if she can't handle them, you and I don't stand a chance either.
()||Gunfight:Bang-bang-bang!!
()||RunStep:The gunshots draw ever closer, followed by chaotic footsteps. +The two Dolls can almost feel their hearts lurch—
Erma(1)Erma||:Lyu—
AR18(2)0,70<通讯框>Lyudmila||:Weigh anchor.
()||:Whoosh— +Maggie and Erma shoot each other a quick glance.
()||AVG_BaseDoor_Open:Without any hesitation, Maggie opens the door with her key. +Lyudmila rolls into the dining carriage in the same second.
()||AVG_BaseDoor_Close:Clang. +Wasting no time, Maggie locks the door again right away. She executes the whole sequence of maneuvers so smoothly, none of the gunshots have made it through the door.
Erma(2)Erma||:I'm so glad, are you alright...?!
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila||:...
()||:Lyudmila face looks ashen and is covered in cuts. She doesn't exactly look alright.
Erma(3)Erma||:Lyudmila...
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila||:I'm fine.
()||AVG_Cloak_Whoosh:She gets to her feet and turns to look at them. +Relief and exhaustion well up all at once, leaving the three Dolls a little light-headed.
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila||:...Untie the Dolls. +The operation isn't over yet, and we need their help. +I've only immobilized some of the Vory; they will regroup and come after us again soon enough.
()||AVG_footsteps_cave:Maggie heads over to Catherine and Pavel, releasing them from their restraints.
Erma(0)Erma||Stop_AVG_loop:Phew...
()||:Erma, still buzzing with excitement, remains rooted to the spot.
Erma(2)Erma||:Lyudmila!
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila||:...?
()||:Lyudmila turns to give Erma a quizzical look.
Erma(2)Erma||:When you achieve victory in these kinds of operations... +Don't you do anything to celebrate?
AR18(2)0,70Lyudmila||:...It's not written in the rules, but sometimes we hug each other.
Erma(2)Erma||BGM_Empty:Then...
()||ClothingUp:Erma opens her arms. +Lyudmila freezes in shock. She doesn't quite know how to react. +Amused, Erma grins and starts striding towards her.
Erma(0)Erma||:...Congratulations on the great success of Operation Anchor!
()||AVG_Train_Bombings%%type_id=2%%duration=1%%delay=0.1%%range=8183<白屏1>:BOOM!
Erma(2)Erma||AVG_whitenoise<白屏2>:...Huh?
()||AVG_tinnitus_010227:Erma's exhilarated grin suddenly freezes. +She isn't walking on stairs, but her foot is suspended in mid-air, unable to find the ground. +She looks down at her suspended leg in surprise. In her befuddlement, she watches as an alarmed Lyudmila reaches out to her.
AR18(4)0,70Lyudmila||:—!
()||:Lyudmila seems to be shouting something, but her voice is drowned out by a deafening noise, and Erma cannot hear a single word.
Erma(2)0.1Erma||:Wha...?
()||:By the time Erma registers the sensation of being in zero-g, her body has already been flung across the carriage.
AR18(4)0,700.1Lyudmila||:—WATCH OUT!!!
()||Explode:BAM! +A powerful strength grabs hold of Erma. +With one hand clutching the handle of the bar door, Lyudmila catches Erma with her other arm and holds onto her for dear life.
()||AVG_Cloak_Whoosh:Whoosh!!
ColtWalker(4)0.1Maggie||<黑屏1>:Whoaaaa!!!
()||<黑屏2>9AVG_Train_Crash:Bam!
()||:No one can tell which came first—the loud noise or the spinning. +As the train tears off the metal tracks, Lyudmila's vision spins and swirls into a blurry, incoherent jumble. +Having lost all sense of balance and control over her body, she tumbles around in the cramped space, colliding with other objects...
()||Rope:She has no strength to spare on anything else other than holding onto Erma with a vice-like grip.
()||AVG_20Winter_Knife_Whoosh:Thump— +While everything is in motion, a sharp metal stake pierces through her right arm. +The centrifugal force finally subsides. Her body grows heavy and she struggles to move.
()||:She stares at her right wrist in a daze as a message keeps flashing on her watch—
()Unknown Signal||AVG_tele_connect:...Evening Star has fallen.
