()||<黑屏2>97:Outside the lobby of the Griffin dormitory. +Three glamorously dressed Dolls are heading towards the lobby. Type 59 is pushing a cake on a serving cart.
PSG1(0)Gr PSG-1||BGM_Dorm:Hurry up, it's almost time. It's probably fully-packed in there already.
PSG1(0);59type(0)Type 59||:I know, I know, but surprises are best served just a little late~ +I can't wait to see Miss G36c's face!
MG3(0)MG3;59type(0)||:Something doesn't seem right. Why is it so quiet...?
59type(0)Type 59||:Maybe Miss G36c is beating us at our own game? Has she got a surprise for us?! +...Oh no! +I have a feeling she's caught wind about the cake.
PSG1(0)Gr PSG-1||<黑屏1>:This is strange... Let's go inside.
()||BGM_Empty<黑屏2>139AVG_20Winter_Door_Open:Once the door is open, the three Dolls stand rooted to the spot...
59type(0)Type 59||:Is this...
PSG1(0)Gr PSG-1||:The party...?
MG3(0)MG3||:Is it over already?
()||:Only Gr G36 and Kalina are standing in the empty lobby, their faces solemn.
NPC-Kalin(7)Kalina||:Please don't be alarmed...
G36Mod(0)Gr G36;NPC-Kalin(7)||:Let me deliver the news...
G36Mod(0);PSG1(0)Gr PSG-1||:So...G36c won't be coming.
G36Mod(0)Gr G36;PSG1(0)||:That's right... She isn't doing very well and needs time to rest. +Also, there's something else that I wish to explain...

()||<黑屏2>82<边框>2边框>:In the Griffin dorms.
G36C(0)Gr G36c||BGM_Wake<边框>2边框>:...
G36C(0);G36Mod(0)Gr G36||<边框>2边框>:...Are you concerned about being in the vanguard? +In most cases, you just have to draw enemy fire. +That's where your worth lies!
G36C(0)Gr G36c;G36Mod(0)||<边框>2边框>:...
G36C(0);G36Mod(0)Gr G36||<边框>2边框>:This won't do! +Are you pushing yourself again?
G36C(0)Gr G36c;G36Mod(0)||<边框>2边框>:...
G36C(0);G36Mod(0)Gr G36||<边框>2边框>:Why won't you answer me?
G36C(0);G36Mod(0)||<边框>2边框>:Gr G36 takes her little sister's hand and holds it gently against her own cheek. +Gr G36c stares morosely at her own reflection in her sister's eyes. She closes her eyes...and shakes her head.
G36C(0);G36Mod(0)Gr G36;G36C(0)||<边框>2边框>:Strange, you haven't spoken a word... Is your vocal module malfunctioning?
G36C(0)||<边框>2边框>:The tablet next to her lights up. The screen shows a line of text. +"This is my choice."
G36Mod(0)Gr G36||<边框>2边框>:This...? +So you're talking to me through this tablet?
G36C(0);G36Mod(0)||<边框>2边框>:Gr G36c's gaze remains fixed on her sister. There does seem to be something that she desperately wishes to convey, but when the words reach the tip of her tongue, they slide down her throat again. +Watching her wrestle with her thoughts, Gr G36 grips her little sister's hand tightly.
G36Mod(0)Gr G36||<边框>2边框>:Your choice? +What choice have you made? Tell me! +What made you like this? I think we need to go to Kalina right now to get you checked up.

()||<黑屏2>73BGM_Truth<回忆>:Griffin Training Ground. +24 hours before the rescue mission.
NPC-Kalin(4)Kalina||:Another failed attempt? It was so close... +You guys must be exhausted. Take a rest for now. +G36c, are you okay? +Huh? Your legs are...shaking?
G36C(1)0,100||:Panting heavily, Gr G36c collapses on the training ground. This is a 100% to-scale simulation of the site where their mission will take place. The last 30 meters seems to be an insurmountable obstacle.
NPC-Kalin(4)Kalina||:Analyzing the second wave of the data stream... There are more of these infrared automated turrets than we thought... +I just cross-checked the simulation with the diagrams sent by the engineer again...
G36C(1)Gr G36c0,100||:Is it...(pants)...the same conclusion?
NPC-Kalin(7)Kalina||:I'm afraid we really do have to run this gauntlet. But in your current condition...
MG3(1)MG3||:It's difficult enough just getting past such a dense firing grid, let alone coming out with the hostage.
MG3(1);NPC-Kalin(7)Kalina||:The injury rate is at 80%. In the worst case scenario...you won't even make it to the hostage...
MG3(1)MG3;NPC-Kalin(7)||:Can't we hack these turrets and disable them?
MG3(1);NPC-Kalin(4)Kalina||:We tried, but it will take a long time to break into their closed circuit system. +Not to mention, we'll need some archaic special hardware – we can't wait that long.
MG3(1)MG3;NPC-Kalin(4)||:But G36c... +She can't go on anymore.
MG3(1);G36C(1)0,100||:No... I'll...keep trying. Let me try again!
MG3(1);NPC-Kalin(3)Kalina||:If this is too strenuous... +(Sighs) I'm sorry, but it also takes time to get someone else on the job.
MG3(1)MG3;NPC-Kalin(3)||:That won't be necessary. I have an idea. It's pretty crazy and I wasn't planning on bringing it up, but... +Someone has to.
MG3(1);NPC-Kalin(2)Kalina||:Go ahead, MG3. Tell us about your idea.
MG3(1)MG3;NPC-Kalin(2)||:We may not have the kind of defensive capability necessary to spearhead the assault... +But if we can draw some of the fire from Miss G36c, even for just a short while, the operation will stand a much better chance of succeeding.
MG3(1);G36C(1)Gr G36c0,100||:I disagree... +I'm meant to be the one who gives everyone cover, how can we swap things around? +If we did that, you would...
MG3(1)MG3;G36C(1)0,100||:I know, but I'm afraid this is the best solution under the circumstances because you are our best chance of rescuing the hostage. +If we give you some cover, at least we can make sure you'll get through route C in one piece. +It's very risky, but that's my style, hahaha!
MG3(1);G36C(1)Gr G36c0,100||:MG3... PSG...
PSG1(0)Gr PSG-1;G36C(1)0,100||:Forgive me for being blunt, this IS the most fail-safe way. +As Kalina also said, we would most probably have to play it by ear on this mission. What do you say, 59?
PSG1(0);59type(0)Type 59||:Kicking the hornet's nest? Sometimes it's just unavoidable~
PSG1(0);G36C(1)Gr G36c0,100||:...
PSG1(0);NPC-Kalin(3)Kalina||:G36c is very lucky to have teammates like you... +So how about it, G36c?
G36C(1)Gr G36c0,100;NPC-Kalin(3)||:You've already made enough sacrifices for me, and I'll have to ask even more of you this time... +I'm...still not strong enough.
PSG1(0)Gr PSG-1;NPC-Kalin(3)||:This is the best option we came up with for this operation, G36c. +No need to beat yourself up as long as you make it count with the time we buy you. +You stand a much better chance than we do, after all.
G36C(1)Gr G36c0,100;MG3(1)||:Right... Uh... +I'll do my best...
G36C(1)0,100;NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina||:Since we've now reached a consensus... This is the action plan we'll adopt. +Bring all the protective gear you need... +Turn in early today. I know it's been really tough.
G36C(1)0,100;MG3(1)MG3||:Good luck, Miss G36c!
PSG1(0)Gr PSG-1;MG3(1)||:We'll be waiting for your safe return.
PSG1(0);59type(0)Type 59||:We're counting on you, Miss G36c!

()||<黑屏2>97BGM_Empty<关闭蒙版>:On the way to the repair bay, Gr G36 feels increasingly bemused as she drags her little sister along by the hand...
G36Mod(0)Gr G36||:This doesn't add up. The mission went extremely well; Miss Kalina even petitioned for the four of you to be given medals... +You didn't suffer much damage either... +So what on earth happened to you?
()||:The screen of the tablet is soon filled with unintelligible gibberish...
G36C(0)Gr G36c||:I haven't lost everything... I also sent out gifts after the operation... +Ignorant...? This was the only way to keep everyone safe! +I'm not questioning your presence. This is the choice I've made, and I must take responsibility for it. +Let me remind you – you may be in control of my body, but my thoughts are still my own. +If I can keep everyone safe with this power, it was all worth it.
()||:Gr G36 looks into her sister's eyes and can seemingly detect the conflict riling in her neural cloud. She waves a hand in front of those empty eyes, but Gr G36c does not react in the slightest...

()||<黑屏2>22:In the Factory.
NPC-Kalin(2)Kalina||BGM_Brain:What did you say? Self-destructed? +Then who sent this package?
NPC-Kalin(2);NPC-Soldier(0)Green Zone Security<通讯框>||:We've discovered Unit 402's remains in the wasteland. +His neural cloud was destroyed, but we found what appears to be a neural storage disc.
NPC-Kalin(4)Kalina;NPC-Soldier(0)<通讯框>||:A destroyed neural cloud... The engineer was...a Doll? +Hm...
NPC-Kalin(4);NPC-Soldier(0)Green Zone Security<通讯框>||:According to the logs, the intended recipient of his final package is the Griffin T-Doll Gr G36c. +Out of security concerns, I must remind you to keep us apprised of all subsequent actions taken by Griffin.
NPC-Kalin(4)Kalina;NPC-Soldier(0)<通讯框>||:So this package is for Gr G36c?
NPC-Kalin(4);NPC-Soldier(0)Green Zone Security<通讯框>||:Correct. That's the Doll in charge of the rescue mission, I believe.
NPC-Kalin(4)Kalina;NPC-Soldier(0)<通讯框>||:I understand. +I'll have to scan the storage disc to retrieve the data. Thank you.
