()||<黑屏2>18m_avg_casual:...On the way to the Rescue Station.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:Galil still isn't picking up.
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:She's probably too busy with her work at the Integrated Logistics Department.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:It's all your fault, Negev! How could you let her go so easily?
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:... +Since she was determined to explore her possibilities, I must respect her decision.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:But doesn't this prove that she does have a lot of potential, and that we simply can't do without her?
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:...
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:Alright, stop arguing. We're here.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:What if Galil refuses to come back?
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:She won't.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:How can you be so sure?
()||:Negev places her hand on the door handle.
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||<黑屏1>:Thinking is for idiots. Prodigies need only their ingenuity.
()||<黑屏2>88:...The door opens and their noses are assaulted by the musky scents of a multitude of beasts. +In the middle of the messy room, a familiar Doll is methodically feeding the stray animals.
AR(0)Galil||:Enough, Uzi! Stop chewing on the plastic bag! +There are no more jerkies in there, so there's no point! +Hey, don't swallow it! You idiot!
()||:Galil tackles the pug and yanks the plastic bag out of its mouth.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:...
AR(0)Galil||:Negev! I know you're behind me! +Trying to jump me as if I were your prey again? +Aw, don't be mad! I'll play with you, okay?
()||:She picks up a cat teaser and starts entertaining the seething serval.
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:...
AR(0)Galil||:Heh, you're a good girl as always, Tavor. +No matter what these troublemakers are up to, you're always sitting there quietly, just preening your feathers. +Look at Tavor, you guys. That's a real lady for you.
()||:A golden parrotbill flies over to Galil's shoulder and starts preening elegantly.
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:...
AR(0)Galil||:Ha, that should be all of them. +I'm done with my shift now. Stay out of trouble, okay?
()||:Galil keeps muttering to the animals as she picks up her bag and walks toward the door.
AR(0)Galil||:See you guys tomorrow. I'm going—
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||<黑屏1>:... +Hi, Galil.
()||<黑屏2>80:...At the Café. +The coffee on the table has gone cold, but none of the four Dolls have spoken a word.
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:Is everything okay at the Integrated Logistics Department?
NEGEV(0)0,100;AR(0)Galil||:...Ha, yeah, it's pretty good. +What about you? Did the mission go well?
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100;AR(0)||:Yeah, it did.
NEGEV(0)0,100;AR(0)Galil||:Haha.
AR(0)Galil||:Lovely.
()||:Another bout of silence follows the forced small talk. +Uzi, who has been fiddling with the sugar sachets the whole time, has finally had enough.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:Sheesh, Negev, just admit it - it did NOT go well at all!
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:Uzi...
AR(0)Galil||:...Huh?
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:...
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:With you gone, Negev reverted back to her berserker state right off the bat. It was supposed to be an infiltration, but it turned into a "kill everything in sight" kinda mission... +Tavor and I were totally exhausted, not to mention—
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:Enough, Uzi.
()||:Negev's face contorts with displeasure, but Galil can no longer contain her laughter.
AR(0)Galil||:Pfft...
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:Uzi, you're just riling her up even more...
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:But I was telling the truth.
AR(0)Galil||<黑点1>:Sorry, to be honest, things haven't been going too well for me either...
()||<黑点2>:Galil recounts all the misfortune that has befallen her during the last few days.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:Hahahahahahahahaha...
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:Sounds like you've also had a hard time, Galil.
AR(0)Galil||:It wasn't too bad. At least I completed all my tasks...
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:...
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:Did you manage to filtch some pastries while working at the Café?
AR(0)Galil||:No! That's expressly forbidden!
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:Heh... Boring!
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:...
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:Even Uzi is tempted to leave, eh?
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:Just a bit. I mean, I've just about had enough of working under this maniac!
AR(0)Galil||:Huh?
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:...
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:Please, do pipe down. +Negev, why don't you say something?
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:... +Come back, Galil.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||<震屏>:Whaaaaaaa?!!! +She just went ahead and said it!!!
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:This IS new.
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:... +I hope you'll reconsider, Galil. Both about the neural upgrade and returning to Squad Negev.
()||:Negev places two pieces of paper on the table. +One is a transfer application form; the other is a neural upgrade consent form.
AR(0)Galil||:...
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:We're going.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:But I still wanna chat with Galil! Ow, stop it...
()||BGM_Empty:Negev rises to her feet and drags Micro Uzi along as she leaves the Café. Tavor also bids Galil goodbye and follows suit. +Galil is the only one still sitting at the coffee table.
AR(0)Galil||<黑屏1>:Negev...
()||<黑屏2>82BGM_Hello:...At the Griffin dorm.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:Why hasn't Galil come back yet? What's taking her so long?
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:Be patient. Let her think it through.
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:... +I've said all there is to say.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:Well, only Negev would beg someone to return to her squad with such a nasty scowl.
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:Cut it out, you two. +I think I hear somebody coming...
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:Is it Galil?
()||AVG_doorknock_wood<黑屏1>BGM_Empty:Knock knock. Someone is knocking on the door.
()||<黑屏2>276AVG_Door_Open_Closem_avg_casual:...In Springfield's office. +Galil pushes open the door and enters the room.
M1903(10)Springfield||:How can I help you, Galil?
AR(0)Galil||:Sorry, Miss Springfield...
M1903(10)Springfield||:Oh my, why are you apologizing the moment you come in?
AR(0)Galil||:I...
()||:Springfield seems to understand the situation with just a glance at the form in Galil's hand.
M1903(10)Springfield||:So have you found the place that's the best for you?
AR(0)Galil;M1903(10)||:I suppose.
AR(0);M1903(10)Springfield||:That's a cause for celebration, so why do you look so downcast?
AR(0)Galil;M1903(10)||:Because I'm not entirely certain... +Isn't this strange? I tend to know how to deal with other people's issues...
AR(0);M1903(10)Springfield||:Not at all. It's actually very normal to feel this way. +Galil, what makes you think a place is the best for you?
AR(0)Galil;M1903(10)||:It's a place where I can do my job competently. Or put it another way, a place where my presence feels justified.
AR(0);M1903(10)Springfield||:Many positions meet that criterion.
AR(0)Galil;M1903(10)||:You're too kind. I've caused enough trouble these last few days at the Integrated Logistics Department...
AR(0);M1903(10)Springfield||:Huh? The feedback I've been hearing tells a totally different story. +Everyone says that you're very diligent despite being new to the job, and that you show great courage in unexpected situations.
AR(0)Galil;M1903(10)||:Heh...
AR(0);M1903(10)Springfield||:In our book, you make a wonderful team member, Galil. +That's why I believe you will do well in a lot of places. +So the real question is - how do YOU choose the place that suits you the best?
AR(0)Galil;M1903(10)||:It's tough finding an objective criterion...
AR(0);M1903(10)Springfield||:I don't think there is one. Just follow your heart.
M1903(10)Springfield||:You already have your answer.
AR(0)Galil||:Do Dolls even have hearts...?
M1903(10)Springfield||:I wonder.
()||:Springfield tilts her head and flashes Galil a cryptic smile.
AR(0)Galil||:I'll have to find the answer to that question myself, don't I...?
M1903(10)Springfield||:Indeed.
AR(0)Galil||:Thank you, Miss Springfield. +Sorry for all the trouble.
M1903(10)Springfield||:Not at all, we all enjoy having you around. +The Integrated Logistics Department will always welcome you.
()||<黑屏1>:Galil bows in earnest gratitude and leaves the office.
()||82<黑屏2>:...Back at the Griffin dorm.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:A few waves of people came in, but still no sign of Galil. +Will she really come back?
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:...
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:She will.
()||AVG_doorknock_wood:Someone is once again knocking on the door.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:Who's there? Her Ladyship Negev is in a very bad mood right now - don't say I didn't warn you.
()||AVG_doorknock_wood:The fearless caller knocks again.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:Looks like we have a brave warrior.
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:I'll get the door.
()||AVG_Door_Open_Close:The door swings open and reveals a slightly unfamiliar Doll.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:Ga...
ARMod(0)Galil||:Hello, I am Galil. +Is this where I report to Squad Negev for duty?
NEGEV(0)Negev0,100||:Yes. Hello, I'm Negev.
MicroUZIMod(0)Micro Uzi||:And I'm Uzi!
TAR21(0)TAR-21||:Just call me Tavor.
ARMod(0)Galil||:Lovely to meet you.
()||<黑屏1>:The four Dolls embrace each other tightly. Their feelings are apparent, even if left unsaid.
