AK12(18)AK-120,60||:Here they come.
NPC-AngeDamage(3)Angelia||:Dammit... Not giving us even a breather. +They're hell bent on killing me.
AK12(18)AK-120,60||:...If we're to get Ange out of here... +Someone will have to draw their fire.
RPK16(4)RPK-16;AK12(18)0,60||:Oh my, then I suppose it's time for our great squad leader to shine.
RPK16(4);AK12(15)AK-120,60||:That's right.
RPK16(3)RPK-16;AK12(15)0,60||:...Wait, you're being serious?
RPK16(3);AK12(15)AK-120,60||:It's the only way.
RPK16(3)RPK-16;AK12(15)0,60||:In your current state? +You do know how that'll end for you, right?
RPK16(3);AK12(15)AK-120,60||:I'm not an idiot like you. +Of course I know.
RPK16(0)RPK-16||:It isn't a bad idea, at least you won't be here to boss me around while we're in Berlin. +Though Ange will probably get lonely, don't you think?
NPC-AngeDamage(3)Angelia||:You want to cover our retreat? +No way. I have no spare bodies for you right now!
AK12(15)AK-120,60||:I'm smarter than the two of you combined. +If I say there's no other way, there is no other way. +Ange, I've told you many times—you must prioritize your own life. +Don't get yourself killed because of a Doll.
AK12(15)AK-120,60||:There are battlefields more worthy of your sacrifice.
NPC-AngeDamage(3)Angelia||:...
AK12(15)AK-120,60||AVG_keyboardtype_sci:RPK.
RPK16(0)RPK-16||:Hm? ...What are you sending me? Command authorizations? +I'm the new squad leader?
AK12(15)AK-120,60||:For now. +If anything happens to Ange, I don't give a damn about what Shaw has got to say. +I will make you wish you could access your own base code.
RPK16(4)RPK-16||:...I am terribly flattered.
NPC-AngeDamage(2)Angelia||:But...
RPK16(3)RPK-16||:Save your breath, Ange. +Look, they're volunteering as tributes. +Besides, even I can't think of a better way.
NPC-AngeDamage(2)Angelia;RPK16(3)||:...
NPC-AngeDamage(2);RPK16(5)RPK-16||:...I will get you safely to 15 and 94.
NPC-AngeDamage(1)Angelia||:Fine. Let's go.
()||Select:AK-12 jams a fully-loaded magazine into the mag well of her rifle and racks the action deftly.
AK12(17)AK-120,60||:Time to show those Paradeus brats... +What a true tactical Doll is made of.

NPC-MrsGray(4)Gray||:Count yourself lucky. We are ready to keep our end of the bargain.
RPK16(5)RPK-16||:Oh?
()||:RPK-16 smiles faintly with narrowed eyes.
NPC-MrsGray(0)Gray||:We're leaving Berlin for the time being. +Someone will escort you to our base.
NPC-MrsGray(0);RPK16(2)RPK-16||:Your base...
NPC-MrsGray(4)Gray;RPK16(2)||:That's right, our actual base. +From now on, you are officially one of us, Pandora. +Rejoice.
RPK16(6)RPK-16||:You've kept me waiting long enough.
()||BGM_Empty<黑屏1>:RPK-16 blinks and promptly gets to her feet.
()||<黑屏2>72:She enters the deepest level of her neural cloud, whose inner workings are a mystery even to herself. +This is where the core of her very existence resides, and right now, it is also hosting the neural cloud of another DEFY member.
RPK16(4)RPK-16||Campaion-70:12, we're about to reach their lair—Avernus. +You know, the legendary "Dead Sea" in the Black Zone~ +Once we're inside, the Nytos will no doubt scan my neural cloud... +So you'd better stay hidden. Otherwise, you'll never see Ange again.
RPK16(4);AK12(2)AK-120,70||:...
RPK16(5)RPK-16;AK12(2)0,70||:Why aren't you saying anything, 12? +When Ange was captured, you said nothing. +When 15 said you trusted me, you also said nothing. +Now we're about to venture into the enemy's very den, and you're still not saying anything?
RPK16(5);AK12(2)AK-120,70||:...
RPK16(5)RPK-16;AK12(2)0,70||:Have you ever wondered, 12, why you can exist within my neural space?
RPK16(5);AK12(2)AK-120,70||:... +Who the hell are you?
RPK16(5)RPK-16||0.5:
RPK16(4)RPK-16||:I cannot answer your question, my lady. +But I can assure you that my loyalties lie ever with you.
()||ClothingUp:AK-12's eyes widen as she stares unblinkingly at the beautiful face smiling at her.
AK12(3)AK-120,70||:...You're Nadia. +Shaw's AI assistant...
RPK16(6)RPK-16;AK12(3)0,70||:Congratulations, 12. You are correct.
RPK16(6);AK12(3)AK-120,70||:...You didn't get your command authorizations over 15 from me. +You have always had them...
RPK16(5)RPK-16;AK12(3)0,70||:Indeed, my lady.
RPK16(5);AK12(3)AK-120,70||:Shut up, Nadia. Stop calling me that, it's grossing me out. +Whose orders are you operating under... Shaw's?
RPK16(4)RPK-16;AK12(3)0,70||:Unfortunately, no. +Back when we accepted the Earl's invitation to visit Bremen, he gave me an additional mission. +He asked me to head into the "Dead Sea" in the Black Zone and obtain the secrets of Paradeus' base in Avernus.
RPK16(4);AK12(3)AK-120,70||:...Ange is just a pawn, and so are we.
RPK16(5)RPK-16||:That's not entirely true, my lady. In the eyes of the big shots... +Ange is a pawn, while we are merely tools.
()||AVG_Creep:AK-12 rises to her feet in a bout of restless anger. She knows she can't do anything inside RPK-16's neural space.
()||Rope:But she just can't help herself as she grabs her by the shoulders furiously—
AK12(3)AK-120,70||:...If Shaw finds out you've betrayed Ange...
RPK16(0)RPK-16||:She won't.
AK12(3)AK-120,70||:Why, you—!
RPK16(0)RPK-16||:Because Shaw is dead.
AK12(3)AK-120,70||:What are you talking ab...
RPK16(2)RPK-16||:She's been dead from the moment I became "RPK-16". +She lay dead right in front of me, but I didn't know who killed her.
()||ClothingUp:Something in RPK-16's eyes makes AK-12 let go of her.
AK12(2)AK-120,70||:...Why didn't you tell us?
RPK16(5)RPK-16;AK12(2)0,70||:I didn't know who the culprit was or from whom to seek revenge. +What could DEFY have done about it?
RPK16(5);AK12(2)AK-120,70||:But now you know...
RPK16(5)RPK-16;AK12(2)0,70||:Yes, 12. +When I received this mission from the Earl, I knew... what it was that killed Shaw.
RPK16(5);AK12(2)AK-120,70||:...Human greed.
RPK16(0)RPK-16;AK12(2)0,70||:The one who made the kill was a pawn. +The weapon that took her life was a tool. +What actually destroyed her was her aspiration. +Because she chose a path that the world couldn't abide by.
RPK16(0);AK12(2)AK-120,70||:...Her technology?
RPK16(0)RPK-16;AK12(2)0,70||0.3:She assumed that people wanted to study Relic technology in order to create superior weapons. +So she made it her life's work to create superior weapons while rejecting Relic technology.
RPK16(0)RPK-16;AK12(2)0,70||:And she did it.
AK12(2)AK-120,70||:...She created DEFY.
RPK16(0)RPK-16||:Exactly. +But the bigwigs want more than just superior weapons.
AK12(2)AK-120,70||:...What else are they after?
RPK16(5)RPK-16||0.5:I don't know. You should ask them yourself.
RPK16(4)RPK-16||:AK-12, would you like to be a chess player?
()||:AK-12 lapses into a long silence. RPK-16 patiently waits for her reply.

RPK16_Nyto(0)RPK-160,-503||:Everything is possible. Never say never. +You mustn't go any further, M16. You should stay here.
RPK16_Nyto(0)0,-50;M16A1BOSS(4)M16A1||:You're not the one I'm looking for.
RPK16_Nyto(0)RPK-160,-50;M16A1BOSS(4)||:But you're the one I've been waiting for.
M16A1BOSS(3)M16A1||:Well, sorry.
M16A1BOSS(2)M16A1||:That's not my plan. +Also, don't act all familiar. We haven't even met before, have we?
RPK16_Nyto(0)RPK-160,-50||:We have... You're simply not aware of it. I have met you many times before.

NPC-DemonLaplace(0)RPK-160,250||:The surgical operation I'm about to undergo is basically the... control of the one performed on Lunasia. +What you're searching for... are the components of the key for accessing a Relic, isn't that right?
NPC-DemonLaplace(0)M16A10,250||:...
NPC-DemonLaplace(0)RPK-160,250||:The key comprises a channel, a vessel, and a system... +Here in Avernus, they are the Lake of Cognition, a Nyto, and a Mastermind-class AI respectively.
NPC-DemonLaplace(0)M16A10,250||:...So Laplace's Demon could be Elisa, Dandelion... +Or you. +Because you're not only RPK-16, but also Nadia.

RPK16_Nyto(0)RPK-160,-50||:12, you have never been able to change Ange's mind. +When she saw how her reckless actions had cost others their lives, she sealed her own fate.
RPK16_Nyto(0)RPK-160,-50||:She needs this "key". She needs to present this "key" to the world with me. +She has agreed to the plan.
NPC-Koleda(0)Koleda||:No matter what happens to Ange... things will end badly for you.
