RMB93(7)RMB-93||:RMB-93...
RMB93(7)Unfamiliar Voice<同时置暗>||:Repeat after me, "Morningstar".
RMB93(7)RMB-93||:Morningstar.
RMB93(7)Unfamiliar Voice<同时置暗>||:Do you know why you're here?
RMB93(7)RMB-93||:I do...
RMB93(7)Unfamiliar Voice<同时置暗>||:Pre-examination protocol complete. +Unit with the designation RMB-93, you will now be subjected to a neural cloud examination for violating orders during an assignment to the Police Special Operations Department.
RMB93(7)Unfamiliar Voice<同时置暗>||:If you understand, then we can begin.
RMB93(7)RMB-93||<黑屏1>:...Understood.
()Unfamiliar Voice||9<黑屏2><黑屏1>:Examination 1. +Do your personal decisions take precedence over the decisions of the operational plan—
()||<黑屏2>8:In the Griffin Data Room.
()Griffin Weekly||:The armed militia known as the "Knell" has made Sector C3 their base for a long time now, but recently they have been very active. The Green Zone police force's Special Operations Department has mounted many expeditions to pacify them, but many of those operations have ended in failure. +We predict there will be intense resistance within this sector, so all field Commanders should take heed...
NPC-Kalin(4)Kalina||:The membership of this Knell militia that's sprung up lately includes a lot of refugees who were repeatedly denied permission to enter the Green Zone, and the Griffin Weekly report just now has already explained the situation regarding this organization. +According to our sources, in three hours' time, "Knell" will blow up a purification facility within the Green Zone and use it as a breach to enter the Green Zone. Your mission is to stop them.
RMB93(0)RMB-93||:I'm sure these insurgents are resorting to such desperate measures because they know their pleas will not be met.
RMB93(0);NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina||:Assuming nothing goes wrong, the Special Operations Department will try to open negotiations.
RMB93(0)RMB-93;NPC-Kalin(0)||:If nothing goes wrong? Then, if something goes wrong...
RMB93(0);M1887(2)M1887||:If something goes wrong, then we'll take care of it. 93, what's the current situation?
RMB93(0)RMB-93;M1887(2)||:Heh, it's just like you to show up without warning. +If Makarov were here, I'm sure she'd give you an earful about it.
RMB93(0);M1887(2)M1887||:Well, kudos to your amazing reflexes for not shooting at me... +So, why do we have to be so thorough with these terrorists?
RMB93(0)RMB-93;M1887(2)||:The target location is a certain purification facility in the Green Zone, but they're packing enough TNT to blow up ten city blocks.
RMB93(0);M1887(2)M1887||:Now this looks interesting.
RMB93(0)RMB-93;M1887(2)||:Still, I have my doubts. If they really wanted to enter the Green Zone, why would they blow up the only purification facility over there? Do they plan to take everyone with them?
RMB93(0);M1887(2)M1887||:We can look into their reasons later. Right now, the most important thing is to stop this terror attack.
RMB93(0)RMB-93;M1887(2)||:You have a point. Kalina, what does our countdown look like?
RMB93(0);NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina||:You still have 2 hours, 49 minutes and 59 seconds.
RMB93(0)RMB-93;M1887(2)||:Are you confident in pulling this off?
RMB93(0);M1887(2)M1887||:You ought to turn the timer back to 3 hours, and you wouldn't need to ask that question.
RMB93(0);NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina||:Looks like everyone's pretty confident.
NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina||<黑屏1>:I'll be staying here to keep you updated on the situation in real time. You should head out.
()||169<黑屏2>BGM_Empty:There is 1 hour and 47 minutes left until the explosion is due to happen. +RMB-93 and M1887 hurry over to the designated purification facility and begin an extensive thermal scan in the hopes of finding some trace of "Knell".
RMB93(0)RMB-93||BGM_Truth:Scan complete. No life signs detected.
RMB93(0);M1887(2)M1887||:That's strange...
RMB93(0)RMB-93;M1887(2)||:Are you serious? This place is about to explode, why would anyone be here?
RMB93(0);M1887(2)M1887||:...Were they dispersed by the SOD beforehand?
RMB93(0)<同时置暗>;M1887(2)Police Supervisor||:Are you the Dolls from Griffin? This is the Special Operations Department, you...
M1887(2)M1887||:We've arrived.
M1887(2)Police Supervisor||:Got it. I won't waste time on explanations. In short, I am now in command. Go in, defuse the bomb, and leave.
M1887(2)M1887||<黑屏1>:Understood.
()||<黑屏2>167:Inside the purification facility. +57 minutes until the bomb detonates... +After some searching, RMB-93 and M1887 find the planted bomb. RMB-93 checks it, and her face darkens.
M1887(2)M1887||:What's the matter?
M1887(2);RMB93(0)RMB-93||:This is a "Cradle" type bomb...
M1887(2)M1887;RMB93(0)||:What does that mean?
M1887(2);RMB93(0)RMB-93||:Simply put, if we disarm this bomb, all other bombs within range will detonate too. +Hm... I've disarmed bombs like this before in simulations, so I'm sure of it.
M1887(2)M1887;RMB93(0)||:Now that's troublesome...
M1887(2);RMB93(0)RMB-93||:Does this mean overtime? Looks like this will be triple the standard rate.
M1887(2)M1887;RMB93(0)||:Does she really have to be so calculative... +Uh, Mr. Supervisor, we have a bit of a situation here.
M1887(2)Police Supervisor;RMB93(0)<同时置暗>||:Don't tell me the place has been blasted into a parking lot already.
M1887(2);RMB93(0)RMB-93||:Ha-ha, very funny. Do you have so little faith in us? Don't underestimate us, eh?
M1887(2)Police Supervisor;RMB93(0)<同时置暗>||:Get on with it, I'm in a hurry to knock off.
M1887(2);RMB93(0)RMB-93||:Hm? You—
M1887(2)M1887||:This bomb has a wireless "Cradle" detonator. If we're careless when disarming it...
M1887(2)Police Supervisor<同时置暗>||:In other words, if you disarm this one, it'll immediately set off another one?
M1887(2)M1887||:That seems to be the case, and we have less than an hour left.
M1887(2)Police Supervisor<同时置暗>||:So where's the other bomb?
M1887(2)M1887||:Given the transmission efficiency of this device, it's probably not too far away.
M1887(2)Police Supervisor<同时置暗>||:Immediately cease all attempts to disarm it and wait for further instructions. Ah, yes, since you're there, pull back three kilometers and establish a defensive perimeter.
M1887(2)M1887||:A defensive perimeter? Against who?
M1887(2);RMB93(0)RMB-93||:Against the incoming refugees, of course... Eh, since we've been paid, we should prepare ourselves to get blown up.
M1887(2)M1887;RMB93(0)||:So we're going to stop disarming the bomb and set up a perimeter? Surely they know that the Green Zone isn't going to exist without this purification facility, right?
M1887(2);RMB93(0)RMB-93||:Let's contact Kalina first.
NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina<通讯框>;RMB93(0)||AVG_tele_connect:How are things on your end?
NPC-Kalin(0)<通讯框>;RMB93(0)RMB-93||:Looks like we'll be clocking overtime.
NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina<通讯框>;RMB93(0)||:I've received your intel. Hm... A "Cradle" mechanism... And the SOD has no idea where the other bomb is?
NPC-Kalin(0);RMB93(0)RMB-93||:I think it should be close by.
NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina<通讯框>;RMB93(0)||:It looks like these terrorists really aren't planning on leaving themselves...a... +Way out...
RMB93(0)RMB-93||AVG_tele_disconnect:Hello? Hello? ...Dammit, did the signal cut out?
RMB93(0)Distorted Voice<同时置暗>||AVG_whitenoise:Oh my... It's really hard to get the hang of this frequency... Ahem...um... Dear guests from Griffin, I hope you are well. +I trust the dictators of the Green Zone are tearing their hair out over our outstanding work, hm?
RMB93(0)RMB-93||:! +This is a secure channel, who is this? +What do you want?
RMB93(0)Distorted Voice<同时置暗>||:As I thought, a question that only a Doll could ask. Hahaha, machines only think of themselves after all.
RMB93(0)RMB-93||:You should cease this scheming if you want to enter the Green Zone.
RMB93(0)Distorted Voice<同时置暗>||:Let me put it this way. It is the belief of all the residents in the Yellow Zone believe that "Knell" is their only hope. +Rather than be discarded like beggars and slowly wither away amidst the radiation, why not become a note in the tolling of every bell...
RMB93(0);M1887(2)M1887||:Pardon me, but what you're spouting is as nonsensical as we expected.
RMB93(0)Distorted Voice;M1887(2)<同时置暗>||:You're missing one thing, in that we still lack a star for tonight's main event... +Perhaps we ought to let everyone decide on their own seating, but I'm afraid we don't have enough time for that.
RMB93(0)RMB-93;M1887(2)||:Listen up, the SOD won't be joining your little party.
RMB93(0)Distorted Voice<同时置暗>||:Nonono, you see, I originally invited them, but you ended up taking their place instead. That makes this experiment more valuable.
RMB93(0);M1887(2)<同时点亮>||:RMB-93 glances over to M1887, but the latter shakes her head.
RMB93(0);M1887(2)M1887||:The signal trace failed. These guys are pretty tricky.
RMB93(0)Distorted Voice<同时置暗>;M1887(2)||:The "Cradle" bomb before you is simply an appetizer. The main course is in an SOD safe house due northeast from your current position. +But remember, this dish was originally served for them.
NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina<通讯框>||AVG_whitenoise:Uh...
NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina<通讯框>||Stop_AVG_loop:What's going on?
M1887(2)M1887;NPC-Kalin(0)<通讯框>||:This channel isn't secure. Switch to the backup line.
M1887(2);NPC-Kalin(0)Kalina<通讯框>||Stop_AVG_loop:They hijacked the mission channel? They actually managed to crack our signal encryption...
M1887(2)M1887;NPC-Kalin(0)<通讯框>||:I'm sending you some audio data. Looks like we'll need to hurry over to the northeast safe house. +RMB-93, are you ready?
M1887(2);RMB93(0)RMB-93||:I am. Huh? I'll be going alone?
M1887(2)M1887;RMB93(0)||:According to what that man said, the other "Cradle" bomb might be over there. +Between the two of us, you're better at defusing bombs. +I'll establish a perimeter here and help keep an eye on the surroundings for you.
M1887(2);RMB93(0)RMB-93||:I guess I can't argue with that...
M1887(2)M1887;RMB93(0)||:Be careful. I have a feeling that this mission isn't going to be an ordinary one.
M1887(2);RMB93(0)RMB-93||<黑屏1>:Relax, we aren't ordinary Dolls either.
()||<黑屏2>70BGM_Empty:Inside the SOD safe house. +28 minutes until the bomb goes off. +RMB-93 is standing in front of the safe house, trying to sense what's going on inside.
RMB93(0)RMB-93||BGM_Danger:Hailing M1887, I'm at the safe house.
M1887(2)M1887<通讯框>;RMB93(0)||AVG_tele_connect:Roger. I've already retreated to a safe zone and the purification facility has been locked down, but there haven't been any movements from the SOD yet.
M1887(2);RMB93(0)RMB-93||:What a troublesome client... I'm going in.
M1887(2)M1887<通讯框>;RMB93(0)||:Keep me posted on the situation.

NPC-PasserbyF(0);RMB93(7)RMB-93||:The girl's stable for now, but I'll have to be really careful with what comes next. +Pretty, isn't it?
NPC-PasserbyF(0)Girl;RMB93(7)||:Mm.
M1887(2)M1887<通讯框>;RMB93(7)||:So this is the "main course"?

M1887(2)Police Supervisor<通讯框>;RMB93(7)<同时置暗>||:How many...you need...tell you...
M1887(2)<通讯框>;RMB93(7)<同时置暗>||:The intermittent transmission finally cuts out altogether. RMB-93 hears M1887 trying to get through again and again.

M1887(2)M1887<通讯框>;RMB93(7)||:I can't contact that supervisor, Kalina, or the Commander! +Wait a minute... Is that... an SOD armored vehicle? They've sent someone over to defuse the bomb, we can...
M1887(2)<通讯框>;RMB93(7)RMB-93||:I need to finish the mission, no matter what!
M1887(2)M1887<通讯框>;RMB93(7)||:Listen to me, RMB-93! Our mission is to stop disarming the bomb and establish a defensive cordon! +Finding the other bomb and disarming it is the SOD's business!
M1887(2)<通讯框>;RMB93(7)RMB-93||:I'm not leaving! I won't abandon this little girl!
M1887(2)M1887<通讯框>;RMB93(7)||:The mission is over. All they wanted was for us to find where the other bomb was. The final decision is in their hands.
M1887(2)<通讯框>;RMB93(7)||:47 seconds to detonation.
M1887(2)M1887<通讯框>;RMB93(7)||:Once they start disarming it, the bomb on your end will immediately explode.
