()||9<黑屏1>0,10BGM_Empty: ()||55<黑屏2>BGM_Sneak:...That night. +In the corner of a deserted street. ()||:Stechkin and OTs-12 lie in wait in the shadows, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings. APS(0)Stechkin||:See that? That pillar behind the shrubbery at 2 o'clock is their sensor. If we enter within its scanning range, we'll trigger the alarm. APS(0);OTs12(0)OTs-12||:I spotted another one at 9 o'clock! +These sensors seem to be spread out around the perimeter of their outpost. APS(0)Stechkin;OTs12(0)||:You're right. It's going to be a bit tricky, but we now have the analysis of the recon data that we've collected... APS(0);OTs12(0)||: ()||:Line after line of codes flash on the tactical tablet in Stechkin's hand. +She then connects her own sensor to the tablet and gestures to OTs-12. APS(0)Stechkin;OTs12(0)||:Set up a connection yourself. Good thing I had the foresight to bring a signal masker along. +You've also noticed, haven't you? The base that we're about to infiltrate... APS(0);OTs12(0)||: ()||:OTs-12 nods solemnly. APS(0);OTs12(0)OTs-12||:Da, it's Sangvis Ferri. +I thought we'd already rooted out all the S.F. in this area, but this must've slipped through our purge. APS(0)Stechkin||<黑点1>:98%... Great, this should do the trick. +According to the topographical reconstruction, there's a large holographic rock behind the garage. Judging by the shape, it is most definitely their storage unit. +I can't read the supply crate from this distance, so we'll have to get closer for a better scan. +Watch for my signal and advance according to the plotted route. I'll cover you. ()||9<黑点2><黑点1>:Stechkin gives OTs-12 these instructions in a hushed voice. +With their signals camouflaged, the duo successfully slip past the Sangvis sensors without being intercepted by the enemy. ()||4<黑点2>:OTs-12 feels her way to the side of the garage and creeps toward the corner. Then she incapacitates a dinergate near the holographic rock with an electric shock. OTs12(0)OTs-12||AVG_tele_connect:All clear. Follow me. APS(0)Stechkin<通讯框>||<黑点1>AVG_tele_disconnect:Copy that. ()||4<黑点2>:By the time Stechkin catches up, OTs-12 has already finished scanning the storage unit. +Stechkin casts a routine glance at the display of OTs-12's scanner. Her eyes widen almost imperceptibly. OTs12(0)OTs-12||:It's a match. The lost supplies that we're after are all in this storage unit. +Stechkin, your saving plan seems to be getting off to a good start! APS(0)Stechkin;OTs12(0)||:Why are you so excited? You don't usually talk this much on missions. APS(0);OTs12(0)OTs-12||:Well, this time... APS(0)Stechkin||:Right, leave that till we're safely back in the base. Start cracking the code. I'll watch your back. ()||:OTs-12 gives a swift nod and starts unlocking the storage unit. ()||AVG_tele_connect:Click. +Beep beep... ()||AVG_amb_wilderness:The soft digital blips are swept up by the night breeze, but there is suddenly an ominous sense of disquiet in the air. APS(0)Stechkin||<震屏><闪屏>510<白屏1>BGM_Empty:Wait! ()||183<白屏2><黑屏1>AVG_tinnitus:Pzzzzzt! ()||4<黑屏2>:The sensors in OTs-12's hand starts crackling. With an explosion, a large cloud of smoke billows out from the rock. +Stechkin manages to drag OTs-12 behind herself just in time. ()||AVG_weapon_reload:Ka-chak. ()||BGM_Danger:The duo brace themselves for an attack from directly ahead and find a pair of fluorite green eyes staring back at them. APS(0)Stechkin||:You knew we were here?! BOSS-3(0)Hunter||:A true hunter knows the importance of remaining silent. +Only stupid prey like you would hop so eagerly into a trap. APS(0)Stechkin||:Tsk. This Dummy hasn't forgotten her pretentious lines. ()||Gunfight:Bang bang! Bang bang bang... ()||:Not wanting to waste her breath talking to Hunter, Stechkin opens fire without warning. +OTs-12 matches her pace and also starts attacking Hunter. APS(0)Stechkin||:Tiss, retreat! ()||:Stechkin barks out a command, but to her surprise, OTs-12 neither breaks off her attack nor shows any sign of wanting to retreat. +Instead...she presses on with all her might. Though her shots barely deal any meaningful damage to Hunter, she still manages to force open a path to her side. ()||<黑屏1>Explode:Boom! ()||1<黑屏2>BGM_Empty:As more smoke begins to spread, OTs-12 takes off with Stechkin in tow. +Once behind cover, her neural cloud whirs into action and starts formulating a battle plan. OTs12(0)OTs-12||BGM_NightOPS:Stechkin, go and— ()||Select:Stechkin slaps OTs-12's hand away and glares angrily at her while she reloads. APS(0)Stechkin||:What the hell was that? Why didn't you do as I said?! APS(0);OTs12(0)OTs-12||:The reward for this mission is too good to pass up. I've got to stay... +It'll be a lot riskier if we retreat together, Stechkin, so you go on first! I'll cover you! +Luckily, this is just one of Hunter's Dummies. I should be able to handle her. I have a secret weapon up my sleeve... APS(0);OTs12(0)||: ()||:Stechkin pauses for a moment. APS(0)Stechkin;OTs12(0)||:What secret weapon? You think you can beat it on your own? Don't be stupid! +Even if it's just a Dummy, it's still a Dummy of the most adept pursuer in Sangvis Ferri! +You're going to stay behind? Do you want to be shredded alive?! APS(0);OTs12(0)OTs-12||:But these supplies! APS(0)Stechkin;OTs12(0)||:I saw the designation on your scanner. These... +...Are the supplies that I stole and sold to the black market before. That's why...change of plans! Abort the mission and retreat at once! +I'll just pay Kalina back in full when we get back! APS(0);OTs12(0)OTs-12||:N-no... APS(0)Stechkin||:Do you have a death wish?! ()||Gunfight:Bang bang bang! ()||BGM_Empty:Their cover is just a piece of rubble and will soon succumb to Hunter's barrage. +OTs-12 sets her jaw grimly and concentrates on returning fire. Stechkin rarely sees her so resolved. OTs12(0)OTs-12||BGM_Sad:I don't know if you still remember that one recon mission. We were also pinned down by S.F. ()||Gunkill:Bang bang! +Stechkin gives no reply, but OTs-12 isn't expecting one and just carries on. OTs12(0)OTs-12||:You covered my escape, and when our follow-up units brought you back to the base afterwards, you left hand was completely shattered. APS(0)Stechkin;OTs12(0)||:I don't remember that. Even if it did happen, I did it for the bonus of keeping all team members alive, not for you. APS(0);OTs12(0)OTs-12||:I know, I know you did it for the bonus... +But I don't care. The simple fact is that you did save me, and I don't want to owe you any favors. APS(0)Stechkin;OTs12(0)||:Does that really matter? OTs12(0)OTs-12||:Yes, it does to me... +As your teammate, I have to find a way to repay you... +If I am to perish at the hands of Hunter right here, then that's our score settled, and I won't owe you anything. ()||Gunfight:Bang bang! +Bang bang bang... ()||:Stechkin does not reply. She just focuses on clearing out the troopers that are pouring out to flank them. OTs12(0)OTs-12||:I'm sorry, Stechkin. I seem to have caused a setback in your plan to save up... +If I manage to return with the supplies, you can have the whole sum of the reward. +After all, I seldom get a chance to do something for my friend... ()||AVG_pistol_finalshot_n:Bang! ()||:Another lunging dinergate collapses at Stechkin's feet. +Stechkin takes out a small brick of explosives from her backpack and places it right next to OTs-12. APS(0)Stechkin||:Alright... Then as you wish, you don't owe me a thing. ()||:As OTs-12 bears the brunt of Hunter's assault all by herself, Stechkin finds an opening and slips out of the enemies' range. OTs12(0)OTs-12||<黑屏1>:That's good... +This is...as it should be...
