NPC-Pamzan(10)<Speaker>???</Speaker><Position>0,-70</Position>||:My guess is that she overpowered the guard who was supposed to escort her, and she's now trying to break out of the Griffin base. +Tell the ambush team to search for signs of a breakout around Commander Angelia's dormitory.

LAMG(0)<Speaker>LAMG</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position>||:Having my movement restricted is such a pain. I can't even go to the grocery store for some vodka... +Good thing I managed to sort something out at the café here...

LAMG(0)<Speaker>LAMG</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position>||:I hope this will make the Commander feel better.

LAMG(0)<Speaker>LAMG</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position>||<BGM>BGM_Empty</BGM>:Commander?

LAMG(0)<Speaker>LAMG</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position>||:...

M4A1(0)<Speaker>M4A1</Speaker>||:What...? Then what should we do?
M16(7)<Speaker>M16A1</Speaker>||:We must intercept her. The consequences would be unthinkable if we let her leave.

NPC-Ange(19);M4A1(0)<Speaker>M4A1</Speaker>||:A five-Doll squad will reach us in five minutes...

M4A1(0)<Speaker>M4A1</Speaker>||:...Commander?
