UMP45Mod(0)UMP45<通讯框>||AVG_tele_connect:Commander, we have tracked Styx's signal into the White Zone, where it disappeared. +And the most prominent building here—is the Stasi headquarters.
UMP45Mod(0)Commander<同时置暗><通讯框>||:...
UMP45Mod(0)UMP45<通讯框>||:If she has merely entered the building, our tracking would still be effective. +But her signal vanished entirely. We believe she went underground.
UMP45Mod(0)Commander<同时置暗><通讯框>||:Underground...
AR18(2)AR-180,100||:Commander, the underground is part of the White Zone. +The Stasi's intelligence servers are located below the surface... AK-12 has been there before.
()Commander||:... + Can we get access to enter the White Zone?
UMP45Mod(0)UMP45<通讯框>||:Of course. How do you think we managed to go in and rescue you last time?

()||:With 404's help, the Commander gains elevator access into the White Zone. +The Commander divides the Dolls into several squads. Those whose command authorizations will soon expire stay behind to guard, while the rest follow them into the White Zone.
AR18(2)AR-180,100||:Commander, as of now, we've lost around 20% of our combat strength.
AR18(2)Commander0,100<同时置暗>||:... +Are they all secure?
AR18(2)AR-180,100||:Yes, we've placed them in the safest locations possible. +We've also notified IOP of the pickup spots.

AR18(2)AR-180,100||:Commander, the White Zone is heavily guarded by human soldiers. We need to stay concealed.
AR18(2)Commander0,100<同时置暗>||:Understood. Our target is Paradeus. They will most likely try to avoid clashing with human soldiers. +In fact, they fear exposure even more than we do.
AR18(2)AR-180,100||:I agree. The materials of these structures have good soundproofing. Let's avoid drawing attention.
AR18(2)Commander0,100<同时置暗>||:Okay.
()Commander||AVG_tele_connect:45, do we have Styx's trail?
UMP45Mod(0)UMP45<通讯框>||:We lost her once she entered the White Zone, and I can't isolate her trail. +There are too many obstacles here. We'll have to search area by area.
UMP45Mod(0)Commander<同时置暗><通讯框>||:Got it.

()||:UMP45 turns to the Commander with a grave look.
()Commander||:What is it?
UMP45Mod(0)UMP45||:... +Commander... this... +...Is the Bee Sting System Data Center.
()Commander||:...
()||ClothingUp:The Commander stares blankly at the countless servers around them, unable to grasp it at first.
()Commander||:Bee Sting? This is the server hub for the Bee Sting System?
NPC-AK12Mod(4)AK-12||:...That certainly explains a lot of things.
()Commander||:...

()Commander||:So that's it... +The Stasi has been working with Paradeus all along. +No wonder their intel on Paradeus was so accurate...
UMP45Mod(0)UMP45||:In addition, we just intercepted a piece of key intel. +About the final step of Project Valkyrie...
UMP45Mod(0)Commander<同时置暗>||:The final step? What is it...?
UMP45Mod(0)UMP45||:A surgery. The final surgery. +Everything they need is now in place.
UMP45Mod(0)Commander<同时置暗>||:...
AR18(4)AR-180,100||:Commander, we've already lost around 38% of our combat strength. Time is running out...
()Commander||:If Styx isn't here, it means she has gone somewhere more important.
UMP45Mod(0)UMP45||AVG_keyboardtype_sci:We just located an elevator leading deeper underground. We are cracking the access now.
()Commander||:Good. I'll rally the squads. +Leave a team here to continue investigating the Bee Sting System.

AR18(4)AR-180,100||:Commander, our combat strength is at 55%. +Our operation has been proceeding smoothly so far.
AR18(2)AR-180,100||:According to the latest intel from 45, Styx has stopped moving. +That means either she has found the tracker, or she no longer feels the need to run.
AR18(2)Commander0,100<同时置暗>||:...
AR18(2)AR-180,100||:Either way, it won't be easy from here on.

UMP45Mod(0)UMP45||:A Paradeus signal!

NPC-Styx(6)Styx0,-502||:Here you are at last. I was worried you wouldn't make it, so I kindly cleared some of the guards for you along the way. +Didn't expect you'd arrive early~
()Commander||:... +What's the rush? The real show is still to come.
()||GunfightAVG_Team_Running<震屏3>:The squads immediately form ranks, ready to engage Styx.
()||:But Styx has no intention of stepping through the door. She toys with the glowing whip in her hand.
NPC-Styx(7)Styx0,-50||:Why don't you come to me? Come on~
NPC_Stevens520(1)Stevens M5200,60||:Well, that's not fair. Attacker her is difficult when she's holding that position.
()Commander||ClothingUp:Shotgun team, get ready.
()||:Ignoring the taunts, the Commander calmly rallies the Dolls that specialize in defense.
TPS(0)TPS||:This looks like a high-difficulty boss. Hard to crack.

NPC-Styx(6)Styx0,-50||:Pretty smart, I'll give you that. You thought of a tactic right away... but it's useless~
()||<震屏3>AVG_Cloak_Whoosh:With a playful laugh, Styx vanishes from the doorway.

NPC-Bramedb(5)Bramedb||:Oh dear, she's putting up such a fight even after getting hacked. How cute~
()||:Emerging from the shadow, Bramedb wraps her arms around TPS, admiring her own handiwork.

AR18(2)AR-180,100||:Commander, according to intel, the final surgery of Project Valkyrie is taking place here...
AR18(2)Commander0,100<同时置暗>||:... + No wonder this place is more heavily defended than any other Paradeus base.
AR18(2)AR-180,100||:It's not only Styx and Bramedb...
()||AVG_BaseDoor_Close:As the last Doll steps into the laboratory, the door seals shut. +A familiar figure descends from above.

()Commander||:...
NPC-MorridowNew(1)Morridow||:How do you like this trap? +In case you thought it was too easy, I added a little prelude for you~
()Commander||:All just to delay your deaths a little longer.

AR15Mod(5)ST AR-15||:Commander, watch out for Bramedb's hacks.
()Commander||:Yes, I know.
()Commander||:AR-18, take Stevens 520 and the EW Dolls to suppress Bramedb.
AR18(4)AR-180,100||:Roger.
()||ClothingUp:Watching as precious time slips away, the Commander's gaze locks onto the rear of the lab.
()||:That is where the "final surgery" takes place. +According to Laplace, William himself is the surgeon. +They are one step away from killing William and ending this tragedy. +They were also one step away from being awarded the Golden Star medal. +The thought of all the sacrifices made for this surgery fills the Commander with anger and disgust.
()Commander||:This is the so-called Coronation Storm. To crown themselves with the blood of six million lives, in the name of power and ambition.
