()||9<黑屏2>:New Soviet border "fireworks" incident+(AmWorks: No idea what this means but I think it's a time period and Google Translate messed it up. TLAnon missed this line)
()||<黑屏1>:
()||412<黑屏2>GF_21winter_avg_pathfinder:[New Soviet Union, inside a safehouse in St. Petersburg.]
()||Rope:[A middle-aged man with a thin face leans back into his chair. His fingers are meshed in front of him as he quietly regards the other man standing before him.]+[That man is the secret agent assigned to keep an eye on the St. Petersburg Military Sector HQ and also a special dispatcher from Statesec’s Second Main Directorate.]
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)司令部秘密人员||AVG_20Winter_Book:These are the personnel files for all the members of the St. Petersburg Military Sector HQ. +I’ve already highlighted their border entry and exit status.
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:We are very grateful for HQ’s support.
()||ClothingUp:[The skinny man nods slightly, but as he reaches out to accept the offered files, the officer before him places a hand on them.]+[The man looks at him and exerts a bit more force, but the other man does not let go.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:I will handle this in an appropriate manner and expedite the authentication and sharing process.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)司令部秘密人员||:…Mr. Dupieux.
()||:[The hand pressing down on the documents does not slacken off in any way. The officer looks at Dupieux before him, and his gaze does not shift.]
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)司令部秘密人员||:When does your department intend to release the Military Sector personnel who were detained?
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:…I fear you have misunderstood something, Mister.
()||ClothingUp:[Dupieux looks at the man before him and frowns slightly, before pulling his hand back and leaning back into his chair. His interlaced fingers shift thoughtfully.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:It is not Statesec which will be performing a thorough investigation on the personnel involved in the “Fireworks” incident, but Central.+I trust I don’t need to remind you of your Sector’s disappointing performance during such a momentous event.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)司令部秘密人员;NPC-Dupieux(0)||:…We have reflected deeply upon our carelessness, which is why we need more manpower to reorganize ourselves now.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0);NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:I believe that everyone in the Sector understands exactly how gravely Central views the confusion from before.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)司令部秘密人员;NPC-Dupieux(0)||:I understand Central’s decision and I am willing to cooperate fully with whatever they intend.+But that doesn’t mean Statesec can just interfere with the Military’s personnel arrangements, Mr. Dupieux. +We need to function normally first.
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:We are here to ensure that all arrangements make sense. We are certainly not here to cause difficulty for our comrades…+However, this process will take time.
()||:[Dupieux raises his chin slightly to interrupt the other man’s reply. His voice is filled with unshakeable conviction.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:The earlier chaos in your Sector was a major stumbling block for Central.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)司令部秘密人员;NPC-Dupieux(0)||:It was only a few PMCs, Central should think about their comrades.+We have a few opportunists among us, but we can take care of them.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0);NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:I’m afraid you cannot, Mister.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)司令部秘密人员;NPC-Dupieux(0)||:What do you mean?
NPC-Bodyguard2(0);NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:That is because three members of the investigation team you arranged were culprits behind the disturbance.+If you don’t even know who can be trusted, how do you expect to solve this problem?
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)司令部秘密人员;NPC-Dupieux(0)||:……
NPC-Bodyguard2(0);NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:I sincerely hope that the various members of your Sector can have faith in the organization.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)司令部秘密人员||:……I see.
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:I will update you on the situation once we make some progress.+Right now, we do not know exactly how many of the loopholes in our system have been exploited by the enemy.+That is why I have been asked by Central to establish a new insider network within the Sector.+After extensive research and debate that lasted through the night, our professionals have proposed a new system.
()||ClothingUp:[Dupieux spreads his arms and leans forward a little before taking the documents. This time, he is not impeded in any way.]
()||AVG_20Winter_Book:[At the same time, the assistant standing beside him offers another set of documents.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:We hope to see the new system up and running within 48 hours.+In addition, we hope that it will completely substitute the old, broken system… I trust you understand my meaning when I say there is no need to repair a broken net.
NPC-Bodyguard2(0)司令部秘密人员||:……
()||AVG_Door_Open_Close:[After falling silent, the man nods and accepts the documents from Dupieux’s assistant before turning to leave the room.]+[Dupieux turns to the side and regards his assistant with a smile that is not a smile.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:We’re more like mediators than counterintelligence agents.
NPC-Dupieux(0)助理<同时置暗>||:They’re too afraid to doubt Central. So they’re taking their anger out on us.
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:…What a joke. Do they think that they can say anything to us which won’t make it to Central’s ears?+Never mind that; how’s our investigation going?
NPC-Dupieux(0)助理<同时置暗>||:Very well, but we still need more time.
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:I hear the people on the border are acting up.
()助理||:Moscow is trying to resolve these issues right now.
()||:Dupieux rubs his chin, and then thumps the table.
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:I have absolute faith in Central’s abilities.+As for the foolish actions of these people in attempting to shake the Motherland… All I can say is that it’s a shame.
()助理||:…The great will of the Motherland is beyond question.
()||AVG_tele_connectBGM_Empty:[Click.]+[Just Dupieux is making a great production of his regret, the communicator by his hand suddenly rings.]
()||AVG_Door_Open_Close:[The hand he is thumping on the table suddenly freezes mid-motion, and as the assistant sees this, he inclines forward ever so slightly and leaves the office with the documents without a word having to be said.]
()||:[After ensuring he is alone in the office, Dupieux adjusts his collar before finally putting the all through.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||10254:This is Dupieux of the First Main Directorate.
NPC-Dupieux(0)秘书<同时置暗>||:This is Zelinsky’s office. I am Secretary Andrea. Salutations, Colonel Dupieux.
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:Many thanks, Madam Andrea. I will now report on my progress.+The matter is proceeding very well. We have removed at least 70% of the reactionaries within the Military Sectors, and this figure is constantly rising. There are no impediments to the implementation of the new system and we will reach completion within 72 hours.
NPC-Dupieux(0)秘书<同时置暗>||:Congratulations, Colonel Dupieux. Central will not forget your efforts. +In truth, that is why this office has chosen to contact you at this time.
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:Oh?
()||ClothingUp:[Dupieux unconsciously straightens up in his seat.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:…May I inquire as to the meaning of that?
()||:[His tone is formal and all his prior smugness is gone, as though it had never been. Even alone, he acts as though he is hanging on to every word to come.]
()秘书||:Central wishes to acknowledge your outstanding contributions over the past year of work. +After careful consideration, you have been appointed as the vice-chairman of the Committee’s Bureau. +Your appointment takes effect immediately. Please return to Moscow within three days to present yourself for duty.
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:…I am deeply grateful for Central’s approval. I will move without delay.
()秘书||:We look forward to hearing from you.
()||AVG_tele_disconnect:The transmission ends.
NPC-Dupieux(1)杜皮约||:……
()||:[Dupieux presses on his finger joints. He is not delighted or excited as one might expect.]+[His eyes narrow and he falls silent.]
NPC-Dupieux(1)杜皮约||:Zelinsky… What are you up to?
()||:[His long years of espionage and counterintelligence work allow him to remain calm in such a situation. He knows very well that this is entirely unprecedented.]
NPC-Dupieux(1)杜皮约||:All of Moscow is in upheaval after the “Fireworks” incident. And they’re transferring me at a time like this?+…They’re promoting me at this juncture, without the need to hand over my work.+Are they trying to get me out of St. Petersburg?+Or do they want me to return to Moscow?+Is this a future prospect… Or a trap…
()||ClothingUp:[Dupieux rises from his desk and grabs his coat. After typing up a quick reply to Zelinsky’s office, he hurriedly leaves.]

()||<黑点2>BGM_stage10418:[Dupieux’s footsteps are hurried. He is now only one street away from his apartment.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:…Hm?
()||:[He narrows his eyes and keeps his gaze pointed forward, but he glances at the security in front of his apartment out of the corner of his vision.]+[He clearly remembers that the camera is facing the road; it is a perfectly ordinary traffic camera.]+[But right now, the camera lens is pointed 90 degrees, directly facing his apartment block’s entrance.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:……
()||:[Still pretending that nothing is wrong, Dupieux looks both ways before crossing the road, as though he were checking to see if there were cars coming.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:Shifting the angle of the security camera… These methods are very familiar.
()||<黑点1>:[His face is the picture of calm as he crosses the road without ever making direct eye contact with the camera.]
()||AVG_footsteps_woodfloor<黑点2>46:[After entering the apartment building, he pretends he didn’t notice the cleaner who’s been replaced and warmly greets the concierge before taking the elevator to his floor and arriving before the door to his apartment.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||Stop_AVG_loop:……
()||AVG_20Winter_Door_Open:[He inserts his key into the keyhole, and there is a mechanical noise from the lock’s core in response.]+[No matter how advanced technology gets, Dupieux insists on using the most traditional mechanical locks.]+[The reason for that is simple – once they’ve been used, they leave signs behind.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||:The lock is fine… But that’s the biggest problem.+They’ve done something to the lock…+…My cover’s been blown…
()||<黑点1>:
()||<黑点2>129AVG_Door_Open_Close:[Dupieux enters the room with a calm look on his face and dumps his coat on the bed.]
()||ClothingUpAVG_Zipper:[He packs a change of clothing, then pulls out his communicator and contacts his assistant.]+[While sitting on the bed, he goes through a list of essential items like passport, visas and so on, looking perfectly relaxed as he does so.]
NPC-Dupieux(0)杜皮约||AVG_tele_connect:Hello? Miss Rita? Yes, it’s me.+Help me schedule a flight heading back to Moscow for tomorrow… No, for an hour later.+I need to return to Central on urgent business. I’ll be taking a shower, so send a car over to pick me up in 20 minutes.
()||AVG_va_addingredient:[He leisurely stuffs an unfinished book into his suitcase and even makes time to pour himself a glass of hot water.]
()||<黑屏1>BGM_Empty:
()???||9<黑屏2>:The target will be repositioning in 20 minutes. ETA Moscow Airport in four hours.
()???||:Things are going well. No abnormalities detected in the target.+Stick to the plan and don’t alarm him.
()???||:Continue in accordance with Ordinance 13.
()||<黑点1>10213:
()||<黑点2>129AVG_20Winter_Drink_Tea:[Dupieux puts down the glass of hot tea he’s holding and enters the bathroom.]
()||:[There are still 20 more minutes… He needs to get out of here immediately, by tonight. There isn’t a moment to delay.]
