g43(0)G43||:Captain! We're surrounded!
STG44Mod(0)StG44||:Possible breakthrough points are garrisoned by the enemy, too...
98KMod(0)Kar98k1.30,-150||:...
()||:Gazing at her tablet in a moment she could spare, Kar reads that Colt Walker had already successfully retreated.+This fills her with some reassurance, but this respite is afforded to her for less than even a minute.
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41<通讯框>||AVG_tele_connect:Captain Kar!!
NPC-Scalper(3);98KMod(0)Kar98k1.30,-150||:Why is your signal coming in this clear? The enemy's running interference...
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41<通讯框>;98KMod(0)1.30,-150||:Maybe it's because we're not far away?
NPC-Scalper(3);98KMod(0)Kar98k1.30,-150||:Didn't I tell you to leave with Colt Walker?
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41<通讯框>;98KMod(0)1.30,-150||:If I did... Wouldn't you lot be the heroes of the day?+Hell no! You're telling me I put in all this effort to have you be the ones getting the award from the Commander?!
98KMod(0)Kar98k1.30,-150||:...
()||:Kar listens as MP41 hollers from the other end of the call, unsure of how to feel.
98KMod(0)Kar98k1.30,-150||:So what might your plan be?
NPC-Scalper(0)MP41<通讯框>;98KMod(0)1.30,-150||:I got a fake hard drive from Colt Walker, and she's left a surprise on it...+I'll use the excuse of returning what we took from them to approach that troublesome white Nyto. She'll have a look inside for sure!+If she accesses it at all, the virus will get her! We can take that chance to fight back.
NPC-Scalper(0);98KMod(0)Kar98k1.30,-150||:...+Even without those memories, you came up with such a similar plan.
NPC-Scalper(0)MP41<通讯框>;98KMod(0)1.30,-150||:Was this how I handled Gager back then?
NPC-Scalper(0);98KMod(0)Kar98k1.30,-150||:One more question. Why are you sure the Nyto won't just kill you?
NPC-Scalper(0)MP41<通讯框>;98KMod(0)1.30,-150||:Because...+They have performance reviews, too. That feeling of being inadequate for upcoming deadlines, I understand it all too well.
NPC-Scalper(0);98KMod(0)Kar98k1.30,-150||:...
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41<通讯框>||:I'll have to ask you to stall for me just a bit longer, Captain.
()||AVG_tele_disconnect:Beep. The call ends.+Forced back by the incoming firepower, G43 looks at Kar with distress.
g43(0)G43||:Captain, our ammo's about to run dry! Wait, why are you smiling...
STG44Mod(0)StG44||:Did we manage to get into contact with HQ? Are there reinforcements coming?

NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||ClothingUp:I've said what I wanted to say. If I mess this up, I'd never be able to show my face again at Griffin!
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:Relax, you've seen my tech.
()||ClothingUp:MP41 glances at the hard drive in her hand.
()Catherine||:I've implanted a program similar to my neural backup inside, on top of... a portion of data Colt Walker stole.+When they begin to access the intel, the virus will begin to run.
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:And then it'll infect their underlings via their command network?
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:Ideally, yes.
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:Wait, you don't sound too sure either!
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:It's not like I've messed with these things before. I can only speak from my experience...

NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:...
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:I have another question.
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:...What is it?
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:Why come back?
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:Back?
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:Colt Walker is that accomplice of yours, right?+You already have full control over this body, and you've gotten to see her. Why come back?
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:...+I didn't think you were that perceptive.
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:Answer me.
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:Because I received the answer I wanted.
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:...That's it?
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:That's it.
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:How are you this naive... One answer was enough to make you give it all up? Was it worth it?
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:It was enough for me.+I know now that someone's waiting for me, and someone's waiting for you.+The one waiting for me is in the far future, but yours is right there.

NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:Yes.
()||ClothingUp:Making sure again that the hard drive was securely in her possession, MP41 moves towards the rear of the enemy lines.
NytoWhite(0)White Nyto||:Griffin dregs? Kill them.
()||ClothingUp:The Nyto coldly gestures for the Strelet at her side to handle the situation. MP41 raises the hard drive in her hand high.
NPC-Scalper(0)MP41||:I'm here to return the intel!
NytoWhite(0)White Nyto||:...
()||:As she expected, the Nyto stops the Strelet.
NPC-Scalper(0)MP41||:Everything we stole is in here! If you let my teammates go, I'll hand it over.
NytoWhite(0)White Nyto||:Is that so? Rather moral, you Griffin Dolls.
NPC-Scalper(0)MP41||:Of cour—

NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||AVG_Cut_Watermelon<白屏2>:Gah—
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:MP41!
()||<震屏3>AVG_lifttable:MP41 is sent flying by the forceful strike, tumbling to the ground.
()||ClothingUp:The drive materializes in the Nyto's hands. It turns about, casting its cold gaze towards the prone MP41.
NytoWhite(0)White Nyto||:You're a far cry from your teammates.
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:...
NPC-Scalper(0)MP41||:Haha... really?
NPC-Scalper(0)Catherine<同时置暗>||:MP41! You're fatally wounded. Don't move, just lie down!
()||ClothingUp:The Nyto considers the drive, motioning a Patroller over to access it.+Both MP41 and Catherine's hearts skip a beat.
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:No... If this continues, we're well and truly done...+I'll become Griffin's laughing stock... absolutely not!
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:...What are you going to do?
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:I need to take out that Patroller. I need someone with command permissions to access that drive.
()||AVG_weapon_reload:MP41 struggles to grip her weapon, taking aim.
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:But if I do that, that Nyto'll no doubt swing back...+And if that happens, I'm not making it back for repairs...
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:Yeah, with that combat power, it's a wonder this body isn't scrap yet.
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:I didn't make a backup before I left. You'll disappear if that happens...
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:No matter, I have eighty or so more backups.
NPC-Scalper(3)MP41||:...
NPC-Scalper(3)Catherine<同时置暗>||:It's a shame that you'll forget how you won this time as well.
NPC-Scalper(0)MP41||:...Hmph, at least it'll be filed under my name.

NPC-MP41Mod(0);98KMod(0)Kar98k1.30,-150||:We were on an assignment to steal intel from a Paradeus facility. Thanks to you, we completed the mission.+Only issue is that your body was damaged beyond belief. I asked Miss Kalina about it, and she said that it was about time for some modifications.
NPC-MP41Mod(0)MP41;98KMod(0)1.30,-150||:Yay?! Miss Kalina... must have recognized me...
NPC-MP41Mod(0);98KMod(0)Kar98k1.30,-150||:You've done well, protecting Colt Walker and the intel while also helping us escape a most difficult situation.+Save for you being the sole casualty, everyone else made it out alright.

ColtWalker(1)Colt Walker||:Sure is, you're the hero of the hour who saved me.+Come, I'll treat you to a meal. Perhaps... you could tell me about that friend of yours?
98KMod(0)Kar98k1.30,-150||ClothingUp:A moment.
