NPC-Ange(29)Anna||:Our vehicles are hidden inside the plant. We've got three, all equipped with comms and supply packs.
NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan||:Give me one. I must deliver the intel.

()||Stop_AVG_loop:Anna looks toward Ramzan.
NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan||:Don't alert them to our presence. We'll make it up as we go.
()||<黑点1>:
()||<黑点2>222:Inside the plant.
()||AVG_tele_connect:A dozen or so fully-armed soldiers have formed around their leader, who is currently speaking into his communicator. +One of the drivers is lying in a puddle of blood, while the other two are kneeling on the floor with their arms raised gingerly.
()Soldier-in-Charge (?)||:Heard anything from the ones that escaped on the comms?
()Soldier (?)||:No, sir.
()||:The soldier-in-charge checks the time.
()Soldier-in-Charge (?)||:It's almost time to withdraw. We can't wait any longer. +Inject the stuff.

()||:The grotesque howl sounds utterly inhuman.
()||AVG_flag%%type_id=2%%duration=4%%delay=0.1%%range=4:The three drivers' skin turns ashen, and their faces quickly become shriveled. They spasm and writhe violently, their upper and lower teeth knocking and gnawing against each other. +The soldiers around them keep their weapons raised and look on indifferently.
()Soldier-in-Charge (?)||:All failed specimens... +We're out of time. Load them into the car and clear the site.
()||AVG_rifle_finalshot_3h<震屏3>:Bang-bang-bang! The soldier-in-charge opens fire, and the other soldiers follow suit.

()||<黑屏1>:
()||<黑屏2>9:In the back of the plant, Alexander's eyes grow red as he watches what just transpired through a crack in the wall.
NPC-Alexander(0)Alexander0,60||AVG_Punch_Hit<震屏3>:Черт побери! These devils! Human scum!!!

NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan||:Let's get out of here and get the intel back to camp.
NPC-Ange(29)Anna||:...When the main force gets here, I'm gonna blow out these beasts' brains with my own hands. +Alexander, get up. We're taking the vehicle once they're safely away.
NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan||:Hold on, they didn't sabotage the vehicles?

()||<黑点1>:
()||455<黑点2>%%code=AVG_hui%%:A wave of heat and dust rolls over them, and small chunks of rubble rain down from above. +Ramzan sweeps the debris off of himself. The artificial limb that he used to shield his head withstood the impact, so he is largely unharmed.
NPC-Pamzan(5)Ramzan||:Alexander?!
()||Campaion-58-2ClothingUp:Ramzan waves away the billowing dust with his arm and looks down at his comrade underneath the rubble. +The wall has collapsed, completely crushing Alexander's lower body...
NPC-Ange(29)Anna0.1||:Alexander!!!
()||Rope:Anna crawls over on all fours and tries to move the pieces of debris with shaking hands—they won't budge.
NPC-Ange(29)Anna||:Hang in there! The main force will be here any minute! We'll get you the best medic! You'll be fine!
()||:Alexander's face is coated in dust and blood, and his body spasms uncontrollably.
()Alexander||ClothingUp:I'm... feeling a bit cold... +Spring is almost over... Why is it still so cold...
()||:Blood comes gushing out the moment he opens his mouth. Every breath he takes sounds like a pair of wheezing bellows.
NPC-Ange(29)Anna||:Don't die. Stay alive...
NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan||:Anna.
NPC-Ange(29)Anna0.1||AVG_Punch_Hit:Go away! +Alexander, I'm ordering you to stay alive!!!
NPC-Pamzan(6)Ramzan||:Anna, let him speak.
NPC-Ange(31)Anna||:...
()Alexander||:I want to... go home.
()||:The blood seeps deeper into the ground.
()Alexander||:Martina wants me... to go home... and plant some potatoes... +Ma'am, will you really bring me home...?
()||:Anna's voice softens. She tries her best to squeeze out a smile.
NPC-Ange(28)Anna||:Yes, you will get home. I will bring you home.
()Alexander||:I'm holding you... to that.
()||:Alexander closes his eyes.
()||AVG_Water_Drip:Teardrops fall on the ground, sinking into the soil dyed red. Anna grabs his shoulders and growls.

NPC-Pamzan(4);NPC-Ange(32)Anna||:Did you not hear me?
NPC-Pamzan(6)Ramzan;NPC-Ange(32)||:I know better than you how it feels to lose comrades. +Anna, this is war.
NPC-Pamzan(6);NPC-Ange(32)Anna||:This is war... +People who want to live die, while those who shouldn't live live.
NPC-Pamzan(6)Ramzan;NPC-Ange(32)||:You still plan on tracking down Capita? Are you going to get yourself killed just for a medal?
NPC-Pamzan(6);NPC-Ange(29)Anna||:F*ck medals! I just want Capita dead this instant!
NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan;NPC-Ange(29)||:Once the main force gets here—
NPC-Pamzan(4);NPC-Ange(29)Anna||:They won't make it in time. Remember what they said? Capita is leaving soon. +I must find the plant Capita is hiding in before they can get away. +If I miss this opportunity, I won't get another.
NPC-Pamzan(5)Ramzan;NPC-Ange(29)||:...Okay, so you kill Capita, and then what? +The nations are like a pack of hyenas tearing at each other. You risk your life and manage to pull out a tuft of fur, and? You think the war would end just like that?
NPC-Pamzan(6);NPC-Ange(31)Anna||:Not gonna lecture me about positions and standpoints this time?
NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan;NPC-Ange(31)||:I'm just telling you to save your strength and don't make any unnecessary sacrifices...
NPC-Pamzan(4);NPC-Ange(29)Anna||:I've got to do something. +Last time, I was powerless. All I could do was hide. +But this time, I'm not powerless.
NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan;NPC-Ange(29)||:Anna, wait—
NPC-Pamzan(4);NPC-Ange(29)Anna||:Help me, or get out of my way.
NPC-Pamzan(6)Ramzan||:...
()||ClothingUp:Ramzan slowly lowers his arm.
NPC-Ange(31)Anna||:This is why you'll never measure up to Armin. +If he were here, he'd choose to come with me.
()||ClothingUp:Anna does not look back as she brushes past him.
()||<黑屏1>:

()Soldier (?)||:Quickly now! Move it! We've got 20 minutes left! +Be careful with that, you dumbass! If you break that box of samples, you can turn yourself into a sample too!
()||ClothingUp:Anna observes the situation at the plant from behind an abandoned building.
NPC-Ange(29)Anna||:This really is Capita's lab. +I may only get one shot, maybe not even that... +I'm running out of time...

NPC-Ange(31)Anna||:Pan, Wiktor, Alexander, brothers of the 3rd Platoon, please watch over me.

NPC-Ange(29)Anna||:Who's there?
()||AVG_Cloak_Whoosh:Anna growls. She thrusts her elbow backward and whirls around.
()||AVG_Punch<震屏3>:Thunk. Ramzan stumbles back two steps, clutching at his chest.
NPC-Ange(29)Anna||:Ramzan? Why didn't you dodge it?
NPC-Ange(29);NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan||:... +If I hadn't come, would you have just charged in there?
NPC-Ange(31)Anna;NPC-Pamzan(4)||:"The shortest distance between two points is a straight line." You taught me that.
NPC-Ange(31);NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan||:All you remember from practical combat class is CQC. Have you left your brains in the classroom?
NPC-Ange(28)Anna||:Like teacher, like student.
()||:Ramzan lets out a disgruntled huff.
NPC-Ange(29)Anna||:Most of them are busy moving right now, so the defense must be lax. It's a three-step plan. +Get inside, find Capita, shoot.
NPC-Ange(29);NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan||:You'll be dead before you can shoot.
NPC-Ange(28)Anna;NPC-Pamzan(4)||:Did you come all the way just to mock me?
NPC-Ange(28);NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan||:...I got reception on comms.
NPC-Ange(28)Anna;NPC-Pamzan(4)||:And?
NPC-Ange(28);NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan||:The brass ordered me to monitor the plant and gather more intel on Capita. +I believe we can work together to a certain extent.
NPC-Ange(29)Anna;NPC-Pamzan(4)||:I'm not here for intel.
NPC-Ange(29);NPC-Pamzan(4)Ramzan||:Whatever. You do your thing, and I do mine. We each get what we want.
