()||ClothingUp:A man wearing sunglasses is standing on top of an expensive hardwood round table with a large and powerful gun in his hands. +His armed minions, having scattered all over the carriage, are keeping an eye on the passengers. +The passengers, all in their own seats, are looking at these intruders with both fear and hatred.
()Vor||AVG_Door_Hit<震屏3>:Mr. Yuliy... This safe just won't open.
()||:The man in shades is in charge of the first-class carriage, and his objective is to squeeze as much out of these fat sheep as possible. +Since the Vory are experienced robbers, they know very well that wealthy passengers traveling in the first-class carriage never carry anything of real value on their persons.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:...
()||AVG_doorknock_wood:Yuliy taps his Python loudly on the table. +Two Vory have been toiling over the safe for a long time, but they haven't made so much as a scratch on it. +Next to the safe, a rich woman with bloodshot eyes glares at the smug Yuliy, her hands and shoulders quivering in fear and anger.
()Ms. Iloy||:Eve... Where have you taken my daughter Eve...?!
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||ClothingUp:(Sighs)
()||:Yuliy ruffles his own hair in exasperation.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:Ma'am, you're making things very difficult for me. +Miss Eve's life is in your own hands. I guarantee that she will be returned to you safe and sound if you'd just cooperate and open the safe.
()Ms. Iloy||:... +I don't make deals with the devil...
()||:Flashing his yellow teeth, Yuliy snaps his fingers, and one of his subordinates rushes up with a walkie-talkie.
()||AVG_whitenoise:Pzzt...
()||AVG_tele_connect:Beep.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:Hello?
()???||:... +...Ugh.
()||ClothingUp:A girl's soft moan comes through the walkie-talkie. The rich woman jumps to her feet in great agitation.
()Ms. Iloy||:...! +...Eve?!
()||:The Vor standing behind her immediately pushes her back into the chair. She tries to struggle, but the heart wrenching sound of her daughter crying comes through the walkie-talkie.
()???||:Mama! I want my mama!!
()Ms. Iloy||<震屏3>:Stop it, you bastards! Don't you dare lay a finger on my daughter!
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:No, ma'am. We're begging YOU, please don't give us a reason to hurt her.
()||ClothingUp:Yuliy tilts his head and waves his gun at the safe.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:Just cooperate for everyone's sake.
()Ms. Iloy||:...
()||:Ms. Iloy glares at the Vory as her daughter cries through the walkie-talkie. She bites her hips, lowers herself to the ground, and gingerly starts turning the dial on the safe.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:See, we could've avoided all this unpleasantness if you'd just done this right off the bat.
()||AVG_keyboardtype_sci:Ms. Iloy's trembling hand keeps keying in the wrong passcode.
()||ClothingUp:While she is opening the safe, Yuliy places the walkie-talkie on the table, and the girl keeps crying. +The passengers confined to their seats all clench their fists. Anger, fear, anxiety... all these emotions are palpable in the air.
()||AVG_Card_Reader:Click.
()||AVG_20Winter_Door_Car_Open:With a sharp click, the safe finally pops open. The Vory immediately pushes the woman aside.
()Vor||:It's all checks and jewelry.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:Sort everything. Give me the jewelry and hand the checks to Mr. Danil.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:
()Ms. Iloy||:My... my girl... My little girl...
()||AVG_tele_disconnect:Beep. +Yuliy turns off the walkie-talkie, and the girl's cries suddenly cease.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:Why are you so scared, ma'am? +Don't worry, we aren't bad guys.
()||:Just then, a string of curses suddenly erupts in the corner of the carriage.
()||AVG_Creep:A Vor grabs a middle-aged man and drags him viciously before Yuliy by the collar. +The other passengers gasp at the sheer violence, and their hearts lurch with fear.
()Vor||:This motherf_cker made an emergency call when he was hiding in the corner.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:Who did he call?
()Vor||:Soviet cops. +He was also trying to call the Krauts when I found him out.
()Middle-Aged Man||:I... I beg you... P-please let me go.
()||:The man's forehead is clammy with sweat. He eyes Yuliy's gun fearfully, his voice quivering the whole time while he begs for mercy. The gun is enough to send his brains splattering all over. +Watching this pathetic display, Yuliy rubs his head and cranes his neck. Then he beckons at his subordinate.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||BGM_Empty:Give me his communicator.
()Middle-Aged Man||:...?
()||ClothingUpAVG_keyboardtype_sci10230:Yuliy squats down next to the man and calls the Polizei with the communicator, then he shoves it into the man's hand and taps his face with the barrel of his gun. +The middle-aged man's eyes widen.
()||AVG_tele_connect:The call connects.
()Polizei||Heartbeat:Hallo, this is the German—
()Ms. Iloy||:Hello?! Is this the Polizei?! +We are passengers on the Future! +A robbery is taking place and we need help!
()||:Before the middle-aged man can speak, Ms. Iloy has already started shouting hysterically. +The Vory nearby try to stop her, but Yuliy gestures for them to back off. +He grins as he watches the two passengers cry frantically into the communicator.
()Polizei||:...Please keep calm and explain the situation in detail.
()Ms. Iloy||<震屏3>:How much detail do you need?! There are robbers! It's a robbery! What don't you understand?!
()Middle-Aged Man||:...We are passengers on board the intercontinental train from Warsaw, service number EN440-13M. The... the train is being robbed.
()Polizei||:Have you consumed any alcohol?
()Middle-Aged Man||:...I'm not drunk!
()Polizei||:Can anyone vouch for that?
()Ms. Iloy||:I can! We are currently being robbed and held hostage!
()Polizei||:Has there been any physical altercation?
()Middle-Aged Man||AVG_XXS_kick<震屏3>:For Christ's sake, this is a robbery! You tell me if there's been any physical altercation!!
()Polizei||:Sorry, these are routine questions. +May I ask your present location?
()Middle-Aged Man||:Train EN440-13M, the Future! Train EN440-13M, the Future! Train EN440-13M, the Future! You got that?!
()Polizei||AVG_21Winter_Click_Keyboard:Please hold on one second... +I'm very sorry, but service EN440-13M is currently not within our area of jurisdiction. The Polizei will only take over security from Poznań.
()||:The voice speaking through the communicator sounds heartlessly cold. Ms. Iloy and the other passengers in the carriage are all left speechless by this reply. +Ms. Iloy's face crumples with disbelief and indescribable despair.
()Ms. Iloy||:How... how can this be...? +They... they've taken my daughter! +Are you really gonna do nothing?!
()Polizei||:We commiserate with your situation. +Unfortunately, our forces only have the power to enforce the law within the German border. +I am very sorry that we cannot offer you any help. If you would like some advice on defending yourself, please get in touch again.
()||AVG_tele_disconnect:Click. +The call ends.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||ClothingUp:Eh, what can I say?
()||:Yuliy shrugs. He looks at the dazed man and lets out a mocking chuckle.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:I bet the Soviets said the same thing to you.
()Middle-Aged Man||:...
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:They're not stupid, you know. They make only several hundred credits in a month; you think they'd risk their lives for this? +We're in the Red Zone! I'm telling you—Baba Lyuba has now taken control of the train.
()||Select:He picks up his gun and his smile instantly grows cold. +He jams the Python into the man's mouth.
()Middle-Aged Man||%%type_id=2%%duration=3%%delay=0.1%%range=5AVG_Cloak_Whoosh:Ugh?! Gaargh!! URGHHHH!!!
()||:The man struggles frantically, but the other Vory have him firmly pinned down. +The woman who opened the safe looks to the other passengers pleadingly, but nobody gives any response... except for one man—
NPC-Doctor(2)???||ClothingUp:Stop it! +Let him go! If you want money, you let him go!
()||:A wealthy-looking man in a suit looks at the struggling man with pity in his eyes. +Yuliy grins...
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:He left me no choice... He shouldn't have been so naughty.
NPC-Doctor(2)???||:...You will pay for this.
()||BGM_Empty<震屏3>AVG_rifle_finalshot_h:Bang! +Everyone squeezes their eyes shut the moment the gunshot rings out.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)Yuliy||:Who dares open fire without my permission?!
()||<震屏3>AVG_rifle_finalshot_h:Before he can even finish, he feels a sharp pain.

()||AVG_XXS_kickBGM_Reverse%%type_id=2%%duration=1%%delay=0.1%%range=8:The other Vory watch in shock as blood spews from Yuliy's temples. He collapses on the floor.
()||AVG_rifle_finalshot_3h:Bang! Bang! Bang! +The remaining Vory look toward the gangway connection where the gunshots are coming from.
()||AVG_Bullet_Hit_Body:The door has been opened without anyone's notice. Bullets fired from the doorway accurately hit the Vory in the knees before they can redirect their aim.
()Gangsters||%%type_id=2%%duration=3%%delay=0.1%%range=8:What—argh!!!
()||:The Vory howl in pain and crumple to the ground one after another, cradling their injured legs.

()||AVG_rifle_finalshot_3h:After darting into the gangway connection in between the carriages, Lyudmila fires three shots from her pistol. +The pursuing Vory are forced to back off, and Lyudmila locks them out on the other side of the door. +Their cursing is still clearly audible through the metal door.
AR18(4)Lyudmila0,70||Select:...!
()||:Sensing another presence in the cramped space, Lyudmila spins around rapidly—
()||ClothingUp:Behind the half-closed door of the workroom, a familiar figure raises her arms.
ColtWalker(4)Maggie||:Wait-wait-wait-wait—we're on the same side!
()||:Lyudmila eyes the woman.
AR18(4)Lyudmila0,70||:Miss Queen of Hearts, we have never been on the same side.
()||:Maggie blinks.
ColtWalker(2)Maggie||:My principle of survival is to make as many friends and as few enemies as possible. +For instance, right now we should deal with the Vory as friends, and not enemies.
AR18(4)Lyudmila0,70||:I have no need for friends like you.
ColtWalker(2)Maggie||:But you do. +I possess all electronic keys for the entire train. +I've changed all the keycodes.
()||Rope:Lyudmila studies her with narrowed eyes. +Maggie continues before she decides to pull the trigger.
ColtWalker(2)Maggie||:...I'm just a businessperson. +In the world of business, no rules are set in stone.
ColtWalker(1)Maggie||:As long as the price is right, we can have a deal. +I am not your enemy, Instructor.
()||ClothingUp:Lyudmila hesitates for a few seconds and finally lowers her weapon.
AR18(2)Lyudmila0,70||:I need to reach Carriage 2.
ColtWalker(2)Maggie||:Pleasure doing business with you!
ColtWalker(1)Maggie||:Oh right. Instead of Queen of Hearts, you can just call me Maggie.

AR18(2)Lyudmila0,70||:Doctor Rugosa, what happened here?
()||:The person being addressed as Rugosa is none other than the wealthy-looking man in a suit who spoke up before.
NPC-Doctor(0)Doctor Rugosa||:The Vory seized the carriage, opened all the luggage, then moved Ms. Iloy's daughter along with the passengers who were the first to give the Vory their money into another carriage.
()||:Rugosa's assistant Doll Lucas enters the carriage shortly after Lyudmila.
NPC-TD_Boy(0)Lucas||:Sir, we only made it in here because Madam Instructor took out all the Vory in the last few carriages. +However, some passengers and Dolls are still left behind.
()||ClothingUp:Rugosa pats Lucas on the head and looks at Lyudmila, who has returned to her seat for her own luggage.
NPC-Doctor(0)Doctor Rugosa||:Miss Lyudmila. +I have a presumptuous request.
()||:Lyudmila turns to face the doctor.
NPC-Doctor(0)Doctor Rugosa||:I want to stand up against the Vory. +Please lead us in doing so.
()Male Passenger||<震屏3>:Are you crazy? +The Vory are experienced weapon smugglers and robbers... +How can we ever hope to stand up against them?
NPC_baolan(1)Female Passenger||:They'll let us live as long as we give them our money. +I don't think we need to take such a drastic measure...
()Male Passenger||:That's right... If you think about it, the actual murderer here isn't any of the Vory...
()Ms. Iloy||:...But what about my Eve?
NPC-Tareus(1)Female Passenger||:...
()Male Passenger||:Judging by that Vor, Miss Eve is still alive, just like Mr. Elton, who was taken away earlier.
NPC-TD_Boy(0)Lucas||:...If this Mr. Elton is the bespectacled university student who was traveling in this carriage... +He's dead. He was killed in Carriage F05. +We came across bodies in many of the carriages on our way here.
()Male Passenger||:What?! N-no way!
NPC-Doctor(2)Doctor Rugosa||:Don't try to reason with bandits. +They don't care if we live or die.
()||:Lucas' and the doctor's words plunge the entire carriage into silence.
NPC-Doctor(0)Doctor Rugosa||:The only thing we can do is to save ourselves. +Instructor Lyudmila, what do you think?

AR18(2)Lyudmila0,70||:...
()||AVG_20Winter_Door_Car_Open:Lyudmila takes out a weapon from her luggage.
