XM8MOD(0)<Speaker>XM8</Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_Door_Open_Close</SE1>:Yo, you’re here at last. 
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||:Thank you, XM8, you helped us discover an important clue. 
M4 SOPMOD IIMod(0)<Speaker>M4 SOPMOD II</Speaker>||:Thanks to you, we’ve finally got a safe place to rest up!
XM8MOD(0)<Speaker>XM8</Speaker>||:Hehe, easy peasy.+Oh yeah, Leader, Miss Persica wanted me to bring this along.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:XM8 hands the strange device named “Strongarm” to RO635, and at the same time she shares the offline map with everyone.
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||:“Strongarm”? What’s this for?
M4 SOPMOD IIMod(0)<Speaker>M4 SOPMOD II</Speaker><Shake>0.1</Shake>||:Lemme see!
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_PPT_Switch</SE1>:[Upon seeing a part she’s never encountered before, SOP2 eagerly grabs it and fiddles with it, looking for a slot on her body where it’ll go.]
M4 SOPMOD IIMod(3)<Speaker>M4 SOPMOD II</Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_21Winter_Error</SE1>:Hm? Why can’t I install it?!
XM8MOD(0)<Speaker>XM8</Speaker>||:Maybe Miss Persica didn’t prepare it for you.
M4 SOPMOD IIMod(3)<Speaker>M4 SOPMOD II</Speaker>||:Humph! Then who’s it meant for?!
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:RO635 takes the strange little device from SOP2’s hands, but she can’t think of how to use it either.
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||:XM8, did Miss Persica say anything else about this “Strongarm”?
XM8MOD(0)<Speaker>XM8</Speaker>||:Nope. She said you’d understand once you got it.
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||:... +Alright then, I’ll keep it.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:RO635 seems to have an idea about it, but right now she doesn’t have the time to think about it. Instead, she picks up her communicator.
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_tele_connect</SE1>:This is Umbrella, hailing all Operation Aeneas squads.
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>Mona</Speaker><同时置暗>||:<color=#00ccff>Nitrogen here. Are there any new mission developments?</color>
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||:Yeah, let’s wait till everyone’s gathered first.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_tele_connect</SE1>:Iron Element joins the channel.]
()<Speaker>建筑师</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>What is it now?</color>
()<Speaker>计量官</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>Iron Element is here. </color>
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||<BGM>BGM_Empty</BGM>:Good, we’re all here. I’ll contact the Commander now.

()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||<SE1>AVG_tele_connect</SE1>:<color=#00ccff>RO, did something new come up?</color>
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:A familiar voice comes over the comm.]
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||<BGM>GF_22W_BGM_2</BGM>:We’ve approached the vicinity of the Black Zone. The radiation intensity there is abnormally high.+That’s why I was hoping we could conduct an operational meeting first.
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>Commander</Speaker><同时置暗>||:<color=#00ccff>I’ll begin by outlining the current situation.</color>
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||:We’ve verified Morridow’s trail. She was originally accompanied by Grey and Grig on her way toward the Black Zone. +However, because our shadowing was spotted, Grey and Grig stayed behind to buy time for Morridow to flee.+According to Nitrogen Squad’s most recent report, Morridow has boarded a truck and entered the “Dead Sea”. 
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:In other words, we are about to enter the “Dead Sea” too.
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:[On the shared tactical sand table, RO635 plants a flag in the middle of the patch of blackness that represents the Dead Sea.]+[The mood in the air instantly turns somber.]
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||:Once we proceed, our comms will be severely impeded. This will be a great trial of our coordination…
XM8MOD(0)<Speaker>XM8</Speaker>||:But we haven’t even played chess together, how are we going to coordinate with each other?
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||:……
()<Speaker>建筑师</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>Hahahaha! You took the words right out of my mouth!</color>
()<Speaker>计量官</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>You can shut up now.</color>
M4 SOPMOD IIMod(3)<Speaker>M4 SOPMOD II</Speaker>||:Hey! Pipe down, you two! The Commander and RO are giving a briefing!
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||:Chess Queen has brought up a problem that we’ll have to tackle. We’re all from different squads and were put together on short notice.+We haven’t had any practice working together, so it’s hard to tell if we can even coordinate well.
()<Speaker>Mona</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>…That’s true.</color>
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||:However, we have no time left to build teamwork.
UMP45Mod(0)<Speaker>UMP45</Speaker>||:Yup. If we miss this opportunity, there’s no telling when we’ll get another one.
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||:At this stage, our respective missions remain the same. +However, conditions in the “Dead Sea” are complex, so every squad’s mission conditions may change.+No matter what happens, we need to maintain contact and make timely adjustments for such shifts.
()<Speaker>Mona</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>Nitrogen copies.</color>
UMP45Mod(0)<Speaker>UMP45</Speaker>||:Unicorn copies.
()<Speaker>计量官</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>1.</color>+<size=30>(TL Note: she really said that)</size>
XM8MOD(0)<Speaker>XM8</Speaker>||:No Problem!
RO635Mod(0)<Speaker>RO635</Speaker>||:Commander, that’s it for us here.
()<Speaker>Commander</Speaker>||:<color=#00ccff>Good. That’ll do.</color>

()<Speaker></Speaker>||<黑屏2><BIN>485</BIN><BGM>BGM_stage11</BGM>:[Grey and Grig have rushed here to meet up with Morridow, whom they help in dismounting the vehicle.]
NPC-Morridow(11)<Speaker>Morridow</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:…This is as far as this vehicle goes. Did you lose them?
NPC-grig(1)<Speaker>Grig</Speaker>||:Yes, they’re a long way off.
NPC-MrsGray(9)<Speaker>Grey</Speaker>||:Same here.
NPC-Morridow(11)<Speaker>Morridow</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position>||:Whew…
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:Morridow takes a deep breath.
NPC-Morridow(11)<Speaker>Morridow</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position>||:Now I’m sure they did something to my body.+We could stand to learn some technical lessons from these Soviets… Just to be safe, prepare a unit to cover us.
NPC-grig(1)<Speaker>Grig</Speaker>;NPC-Morridow(11)<Position>0,100</Position>||:Activating a flying machine now might further reveal us.
NPC-grig(1);NPC-Morridow(11)<Speaker>Morridow</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position>||:We can’t delay any longer, we need to return to the tower immediately.+Also, I’ve been thoroughly exposed… We basically have to assume that they’ll catch up with us at this point.+Still, no need to worry. A few measly Dolls won’t pose a threat to us.
NPC-Morridow(11)<Speaker>Morridow</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position>||:Besides, they can’t catch up with us without flying machines of their own. 
NPC-MrsGray(9)<Speaker>Grey</Speaker>||:Just in case…+And I’m saying just in case, what will Father do if we end up over-exposing Avernus?
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:In a rare turn of events, even Grey is questioning Morridow’s orders.
NPC-Morridow(11)<Speaker>Morridow</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position>||:……
()<Speaker></Speaker>||<SE1>ClothingUp</SE1>:Morridow raises her head. She was badly hurt to begin with, and the battle from just now further exacerbated her frailty.
NPC-Morridow(11)<Speaker>Morridow</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position>||:All that is a minor issue…+As long as the secret doesn’t leak, we can treat it as though nothing happened!+As for Father… I’m sure he won’t blame us, because the news I will bring him far outweighs it.
NPC-Morridow(11)<Speaker>Morridow</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position>||:Trust me, Grey.+I need to get back…
NPC-Morridow(10)<Speaker>Morridow</Speaker><Position>0,100</Position><Shake>0.1</Shake>||<SE1>AVG_XXS_kick</SE1>:<size=50>Let’s go! Now!</size>
NPC-MrsGray(9)<Speaker>Grey</Speaker>||:……
NPC-grig(1)<Speaker>Grig</Speaker>||:Gray ...
NPC-MrsGray(9)<Speaker>Grey</Speaker>||:…Let’s head to the listening post. They’re changing shifts today, so there ought to be backup flying devices there.
NPC-grig(1)<Speaker>Grig</Speaker>||:……
()<Speaker></Speaker>||:As she sees Grey’s changing emotions, Grig falls silent for a long time.
NPC-grig(1)<Speaker>Grig</Speaker>||:Yes. understood.
