AR18(6)Lyudmila0,70||:Even though you haven't disclosed any details to me, I can largely guess what the mission entails. +Since the moment I boarded the Colt Express, I've been the card to be played. +It's simply a matter of WHEN. +I'm the decoy, aren't I? AR18(6)Instructor Я0,70<同时置暗>||:...You are decoys for one another. AR18(6)Lyudmila0,70||:Morning Star has fallen.

AR18(6)Lyudmila0,70||:I'm not asking you to fight. +I need you to activate the Colt Express again. +Link up all the Dolls—even those who aren't T-Dolls. I need the strength of every single Doll. ()||:After a brief moment of deliberation, Maggie seems to have figured out what Lyudmila means to do. ColtWalker(2)Maggie||:That's not entirely out of the question. ColtWalker(3)Maggie||:However, I'm afraid that's not gonna work right now. The Vory have started jamming all Doll networks before they began the robbery. +I can't contact anybody.

Erma(9)Erma||:I've been hiding up there for some time, so I heard everything. +If you want to restore the connection, I may be able to help. +However, I would like a reward...

Both Lyudmila and Erma turn to look at her. ColtWalker(2)Maggie||:Nothing. Just a bit amused. +She's an easy target. Catherine sure knows how to pick her victims.

NPC-Doctor(0)Doctor Rugosa||:If I remember correctly, Carriage F01 is the VIP-class carriage. It's even more secure than this carriage. ()||:Lyudmila nods in agreement. AR18(6)Lyudmila0,70||:That's right, it is the VIP-class carriage reserved for special passengers. +It has the highest level of defense, so it should offer even more protection than the ventilation shaft in this carriage.
