()||:...Inside the industrial park, Offenbach District.
()||AVG_engine_speedup<震屏3>:Whoosh... whoosh...+On the desolate streets, several news vans speed past, all heading in the same direction.
()||%%type_id=2%%duration=4%%delay=0%%range=2AVG_brake:Screech.
()||AVG_20Winter_Door_Car_Open:After bringing their vans to a crisp halt, the reporters quickly disembark to secure the best filming spots. Almost simultaneously, over a dozen uniformed Stasi agents begin moving in and out of a factory, carrying out sealed crates and placing them right within the cameras' line of sight.+Everything is perfectly timed—like the opening scene of a meticulously staged play.
()Reporter||Stop_AVG_loop:I am now standing inside the Offenbach Industrial Park. Behind me is a factory that has been closed for several months due to poor management. Before its shutdown, this factory mainly produced electric wheelchairs and other rehabilitation equipment.+According to sources, the production line was reactivated a few days ago—but this time, what's coming off the belts isn't medical gear, but devastating weapons...
()||<黑点1>ClothingUp:
()||<黑点2>:The camera shifts to where the reporter is pointing—sealed crates being hauled out by the agents.
()Reporter||:The Stasi has now shut down this factory, along with seven others in the Offenbach Industrial Park, on charges of illegal manufacture of explosives, endangering public safety, and treason.+All these factories were secretly producing a weapon known as "Iaso's Box".+There is concrete evidence linking this weapon to the Berlin bombing months ago, as well as the recent series of explosions in Frankfurt.+According to a Stasi spokesperson, the factory manager is already in custody. Interrogation is underway. We will continue to follow the story closely.
()||AVG_Crowd_Run:All of a sudden, a commotion erupts behind the reporter—an uproar from the gathered crowd.+The camera immediately follows—
()||<黑点1>:
()||<黑点2>0.5AVG_Team_Running:Inside the distant factory, several medics emerge carrying a stretcher. A man lies on it, his face covered.+From the blood dripping from his limp arm, it is clear that he has suffered horrific abuse.

()||AVG_20Winter_Door_Car_Close<黑点2>0.5202BGM_Empty:Bang.

NPC-maya(0)Q||:...
()||:Q casts a cold glance at the motionless man on the stretcher. As the vehicle starts, the stretcher begins to jolt slightly.
NPC-maya(0)Q||:How long are you planning to keep up the act?
()||<震屏3>ClothingUp:Swish. The man on the stretcher sits up, yanking off the cover from his face and disgustedly wiping away the fake blood on his arm.
NPC-Keven(9)J||:Verdammt noch mal! What took you so long to get me out?
NPC-maya(0)Q||:...
NPC-Keven(12)J||:Do you have any idea what I've been through these past days?!
()||ClothingUp0.5:Q takes a sip from the now-cold coffee in hand with a frown.
NPC-maya(0)Q||:Just be grateful. Nobody had any plans to rescue you. If the Commander hadn't come up with a perfect plan, the next agent codenamed J would've already started the job.
NPC-Keven(14)J;NPC-maya(0)||:...
NPC-Keven(14);NPC-maya(0)Q||:Right, don't forget to send one last message to Frau Nele, who's been looking after you.
NPC-Keven(11)J;NPC-maya(0)||0.5:
NPC-Keven(11)J||:...Frau Nele who?
NPC-Keven(11);NPC-maya(0)Q||:Maybe try polishing up your terrible acting.+Once we're back at HQ, all your personal contact channels are getting deleted.
NPC-Keven(9)J;NPC-maya(0)||:Wasn't I getting a commendation?
NPC-Keven(9);NPC-maya(1)Q||:That was all for show. You really bought into it, "Hero Agent J"?
NPC-Keven(7)J||:...

NPC-AK12Mod(11)AK-12<通讯框>||:We've acquired complete intel on the new Nyto. Her codename is "Hebe".
NPC-AK12Mod(11)AK-12<通讯框>||:Also, bad news—aside from this Hebe, there's another high-level Nyto lurking in Frankfurt. No specifics yet.
NPC-AK12Mod(11)Commander<通讯框><同时置暗>||:Almost there... Once we have intel on her, we can prepare for the final sweep.
()||AVG_tele_connect:Just as the communicator is put down, it rings again.
()||AVG_20Winter_Drink_Tea:AR-18 brings over another cup of coffee.
AR18(3)AR-180,100||:Commander, it's a call from Mr. Kryuger.
()Commander||:...Kryuger?!
()||ClothingUp:The Commander picks up at once.
()Commander||:Mr. Kryuger?
NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger<通讯框>||:Yes, it's me.
NPC-Kyruger(0)Commander<通讯框><同时置暗>||:Finally, a call from you...+Does this mean you and Helian are safe?

NPC-Kyruger(0)Commander<通讯框><同时置暗>||:That's great news!
NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger<通讯框>||:The Earl told me you and the Stasi took down Paradeus' Project Cocoon...
NPC-Kyruger(0)Commander<通讯框><同时置暗>||:Yes, their leader Laplace has been eliminated. Only William remains...
NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger<通讯框>||:...Commander, we're so proud of you.
NPC-Kyruger(0)Commander<通讯框><同时置暗>||:Once we finish off William and the remnants of Paradeus, I'll come get you both home.
NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger<通讯框>||0.5:Home...
NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger<通讯框>||:Let's rebuild Griffin together, Commander.
NPC-Kyruger(0)Commander<通讯框><同时置暗>||:...
NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger<通讯框>||:Even though the fire at the base burned for days, leaving almost nothing of the surface buildings...+The good news is that it's finally burned out.+It's the perfect time to rebuild. Now we can construct the new Griffin base exactly how we envision it.
NPC-Kyruger(0)Kryuger<通讯框>||:Commander, I want to invite you to join us—not as an employee, but as family.
()||0.7ClothingUp:Looking out at the silent night, the Commander feels a calm unlike anything before.
()Commander||0.5:Nothing would make me happier, Mr. Kryuger.

NPC-Hoffmann(1)Finn Hoffmann||:Congratulations, Agent Q. Another impressive achievement.+This cup's on the Director.
NPC-maya(2)Q||:Thanks, ma'am. Finally got you to buy me a coffee.
NPC-Romy(0)Romy||:Help yourself to as much as you like. But about that vacation—I'm afraid you'll have to wait.
NPC-maya(2)Q||:Don't worry. I know the drill.
()||AVG_20Winter_Book:Q hands over a neatly prepared report to Romy.
NPC-maya(0)Q||:This operation seized a large batch of Paradeus products, including components, weapons, and Iaso' Boxes... A detailed inventory is attached.+We've also secured all production lines of the Iaso's Box. Some were damaged. The condition of each line is listed in detail.
NPC-maya(0)Q||:And—
()||AVG_20Winter_Book:Before Q can finish, Romy removes the paperclip and pulls out a few pages, laying them on the desk.+Q glances at them—it's the report on Paradeus' top-secret lab codenamed Cherry Orchard.
()||AVG_PPT_Switch:Hoffmann, who has been standing off to the side, casually takes the pages and feeds them into the shredder.
NPC-maya(0)Q||:Ma'am, do these need editing or—?
NPC-Romy(0)Romy||:Make no mention of them.
NPC-maya(0)Q||:I see.
()||ClothingUp:Romy hands the rest of the report back to Q.
NPC-Romy(0)Romy||:Someone else will take over from here.
