AR18(2)AR-180,100||AVG_tele_connect:Commander, we have completed the handover and are now conducting the final security checks on the Elmo. ()Commander||:Right, be extra careful. ()||ClothingUp:AR-18 walks over to the control terminal and nods at RO635, who is next to her. RO635Mod(0)RO635||:Don't let down your guard. Inspect everything that the Stasi might have touched thoroughly. AR15Mod(0)ST AR-15||:Got it. M4 SOPMOD IIMod(0)M4 SOPMOD II||<震屏3>AVG_Cloak_Whoosh:We're finally back!!! ()||RunStep:SOP-II's elated shriek interrupts the group's quiet restraint.+Watching her run off into the distance, RO635 can only gesture helplessly for ST AR-15 to follow her. ()||AVG_keyboardtype_sci:Back in the command room, AR-18 activates the Elmo's control system, and begins a search through the logs of recent activity such as browsing history and hacking attempts. AR18(2)AR-180,100||:Commander, the Stasi tried to breach the Elmo's systems, but they didn't fully succeed.+Aside from logistical data like the driving logs, maintenance records, and supply inventory, no classified intel was compromised. AR18(2)Commander0,100<同时置暗>||:Good. What about the Dolls that were left on board for repairs? AR18(2)AR-180,100||:One moment please. I'll need to contact RO about this. AR18(2)AR-180,100||AVG_tele_connect:RO, have your reached the repair bay? RO635Mod(0)RO635<通讯框>||:Yes. We had locked down the repair bay with a system override before we left. There were traces of attempted tampering here too, but they failed.+It looks like the Stasi then cut power to the entire maintenance area—it only just got restored. M4 SOPMOD IIMod(3)M4 SOPMOD II<通讯框>||:Ugh! Those Stasi agents are the worst! Not only did they seize someone else's MBV by force, they even rifled through everything like a bunch of thieves! AR18(5)AR-180,100||:Were the Dolls harmed? AR15Mod(0)ST AR-15<通讯框>||:No, they just had their repairs paused. Repairs have now resumed.+Also, there's a batch of general-purpose Doll parts sitting here—probably left behind by the Stasi... M4 SOPMOD IIMod(3)M4 SOPMOD II<通讯框>||:Don't think that makes up for anything! Let me check what's in that stash first! ()Commander||:It's fine as long as the Dolls are okay. Speed up their repair process. RO635Mod(0)RO635<通讯框>||:Yes, Commander.+We'll continue with the Elmo's repairs and diagnostics. AR18(2)AR-180,100||:Yeah—and keep an eye out. The Stasi may have planted some bugs. ()||AVG_tele_disconnect0.5: ()||AVG_keyboardtype_sci:AR-18 continues rebooting all dormant systems. Soon, the Elmo's lights, ventilation, water, and power are all functioning normally again. ()||ClothingUp:That is, until she notices a Doll who should've woken up long ago still lying there, eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. AR18(2)AR-180,100||:System prompt—Initiate high-voltage wake-up protocol again? ColtWalker(2)Colt Walker2||ClothingUp:...Oh my, is it showtime for me? AR18(2)AR-180,100||:I didn't wake you up just to have you sit there and watch. ()||ClothingUp:Clearly having just come out of a long, comfortable sleep, Colt Walker stretches and strolls over lazily. AR18(2)AR-180,100||:I need you to take charge of the Signal Support Team and reboot the Aeneas Conference Room. ColtWalker(3)Colt Walker;AR18(2)0,100||:Tsk, jumping straight into the deep end, huh? ColtWalker(3);AR18(2)AR-180,100||:I'll assist you in maintaining the Aeneas Conference Room.+From now on, all communications will go through it. Do you understand? ColtWalker(1)Colt Walker||:Yeah, yeah... Griffin's meals really don't come for free, huh. ()||AVG_keyboardtype_sci:Colt Walker grumbles under her breath, but she still starts working on rebooting the conference room channel. ()||AVG_NightVision_Start:Once all systems are up and running smoothly, AR-18 opens the Elmo's navigation control panel.

()||AVG_va_addingredient:The Commander walks over to the coffee machine and eagerly pours themself an Elmo's Special Brew. ()||AVG_keyboardtype_sci0.5ClothingUp:Returning to their usual seat with the coffee in hand, the Commander unlocks the tactical command terminal via its automatic facial recognition feature. ()Commander||:There. Now it really feels like I'm back on the Elmo... ColtWalker(1)Colt Walker||:The Aeneas Conference Room has been rebooted and is ready whenever you are. ColtWalker(1)Commander<同时置暗>||:Right. ColtWalker(1)Colt Walker||:I performed some upgrades to the conference room. You can now issue commands to all Griffin Dolls through the channel.

Her long and slender index finger brushes over bottles of carefully curated vintage wine. NPC-Hebe(0)Hebe||:Still a fan of Romanée-Conti? ()||RopeClothingUp:Lounging comfortably on a soft leather sofa, Styx rolls over lazily. NPC-Styx(1)Styx0,-50||:Mhm, pour me a glass.+Yours is always the richest. NPC-Hebe(0)Hebe||:What you usually drink is probably far more luxurious than anything I have here. ()||AVG_va_addingredient:Hebe takes out two wine glasses and a bottle of red, pours the crimson liquid, and brings it up to Styx's lips. NPC-Styx(1)Styx0,-50||:Come now, Sister. Don't say that. NPC-Hebe(3)Hebe;NPC-Styx(1)0,-50||:I've heard all about how extravagant Pandora can be.+They say Bénéteau even had a vintage-style sailing ship custom-built for one of your promotional tours. NPC-Hebe(3);NPC-Styx(0)Styx0,-50||:They say it was for me, but really, it was just a floating billboard—they plastered their logo everywhere, hoping I'd promote their new product line on the side. NPC-Hebe(3)Hebe||:Doesn't matter where you are—everyone's chasing their own interests, even if they wave the same banners. ()||AVG_20Winter_Cheers:The two wine glasses meet with a pleasant clink. NPC-Styx(0)Styx0,-50||:Indeed... Last time we parted ways, we were still worrying whether we could pull it off.+Who'd have thought—Neither the German brass nor Pandora can match Paradeus in coordination and execution. NPC-Hebe(0)Hebe;NPC-Styx(0)0,-50||:Last time we parted... It's hard to believe that it's already been years.+We've never seen each other again since we left Avernus. NPC-Hebe(0);NPC-Styx(2)Styx0,-50||:Back then, only the two of us made it through the Baptism. NPC-Hebe(0)Hebe||:The Paradeus today is nothing like what it used to be.

NPC-Hebe(3)Hebe;NPC-Styx(0)0,-50||:Wouldn't call it insight, but... it feels like nothing coming out of Paradeus these days is of any real use. NPC-Hebe(3);NPC-Styx(3)Styx0,-50||:Nemhran seems rather troubled by that. NPC-Hebe(0)Hebe;NPC-Styx(3)0,-50||:Hey, she's responsible for the problem. With that kind of authority, she can't expect to avoid the accountability.+But I am curious what she plans to do next. NPC-Hebe(0);NPC-Styx(0)Styx0,-50||:And what about you, Sister? What's your plan? NPC-Hebe(0)Hebe||:Same as always. ()||0.5ClothingUp:The two quietly sip the lush, aromatic wine. NPC-Styx(2)Styx0,-50||:It's almost time to close the net. NPC-Hebe(3)Hebe;NPC-Styx(2)0,-50||:I know. The Coronation Storm. NPC-Hebe(3);NPC-Styx(0)Styx0,-50||:Have you thought about the celebration afterward? NPC-Hebe(0)Hebe;NPC-Styx(0)0,-50||:...What, planning to buy a lottery ticket this early?

From this point forward, all mission orders and intelligence updates will be issued here.

()Commander||AVG_tele_connect:Currently, Squad 404 and Task Force DEFY are still in the urban area of Frankfurt. The AR Team will head over to assist you shortly.+To counter sweeps and attacks from the Nytos, all teams remaining in the city must change safe houses every 24 hours.

Her situation is complicated, and repairs can't be completed onboard the Elmo.+But don't worry—her damaged data have already been sent to Persica and Dier. Their initial assessment is cautiously optimistic. G11Mod(0)Gr G11<通讯框>||0.5: G11Mod(0)Gr G11<通讯框>||:...Okay! UMP45Mod(0)UMP45<通讯框>||:We reviewed the electronic warfare attack that took down 416. The enemy was clearly prepared—the amount of redundant data was overwhelming. I tried every decryption tool available... Honestly, the workload alone could get me archived in a Doll Antique Museum.+The opponent appears to have used a data compilation structure I've never seen before. We still can't determine her basic profile or combat style. UMP45Mod(0)Commander<同时置暗><通讯框>||:The fact that she was able to take out 416 without alerting us makes her extremely dangerous.+We know far too little about her right now. Don't act rashly.

NPC-AK12Mod(11)AK-12<通讯框>||:On that subject, all Paradeus factories in Frankfurt have ramped up to full production capacity.+This is unprecedented—it's like they no longer care about staying hidden, discarding all attempts at concealment just to manufacture Iaso's Boxes.
