NPC-Romy(3)秘书<同时置暗>||AVG_tele_connect:Yes, Director Riefenstahl. That was what the General said.
NPC-Romy(3)Romy||:…But the General said earlier that he would contact me once he reached Frankfurt.+And I have things here that I need to report to him.
NPC-Romy(3)秘书<同时置暗>||:My apologies, but the general has made his opinion clear.+…He is unable to respond to your calls at the moment and he hopes that you will stay in Berlin for the time being.+When the time is right, he will arrange for you to return to your business in Frankfurt.
NPC-Romy(3)Romy||:……I see.
()||AVG_tele_disconnect:[Click.]+[The transmission ends.]
NPC-Romy(3)Romy||:……
()||:[...What happened on the plane?]+[Why did the General suddenly change his mind and have her remain in Berlin for the time being?]
NPC-Romy(0)Romy||AVG_tele_connect:…Get Keven in here.

NPC-Keven(0)J||<黑点2>AVG_Door_Open_Close:…Director? You called?
NPC-Romy(0)Romy||AVG_File_Put:I have a new job for you.
()||:[Romy puts a list of names she has just finished scribbling on the table and pushes it over to J.]
()||AVG_20Winter_Book:[J takes it, a look of suspicion on his face, and gives it a quick once-over.]
NPC-Keven(5)J||:…Are they all key Ministry of Defense personnel?
NPC-Romy(0)Romy||:Look into their background. Work in secrecy.
NPC-Keven(5)J||:Got it....
()||ClothingUp:[J nods, then puts the list away before looking at Romy again. He looks like he wants to say something.]
NPC-Romy(0)Romy||:What’s the matter?
NPC-Keven(0)J||:…It’s about the ”Dead Sea”. Seems something went wrong over there.+Should we send over some support?
NPC-Romy(0)Romy||:…That matter has already been concluded.
NPC-Keven(5)J||:Say what?
()||:There is an incredulous look on J’s face.]
NPC-Romy(3)Romy||:Do you need me to repeat myself?+Our mission is already over.
NPC-Keven(5)J||:…Over? How can it be over?
NPC-Keven(4)J||:We just began feeling around the edges of the “Dead Sea”! + The battle’s only just begun!
NPC-Romy(0)Romy||:For “us”, it is over.
()||:[Romy calmly watches the subordinate standing before her.]
NPC-Keven(5)J||:…I see. +So from the beginning, this is as far as we needed to go, is that it?
NPC-Romy(0)Romy||:……
()||ClothingUp:[Romy does not answer J’s question. She simply leans back into her chair.]
NPC-Keven(5)J||:There’s no way the Commander’s squad will be able to leave in one piece without our help.
NPC-Romy(3)Romy||:That’s the Commander’s problem.
NPC-Keven(4)J||:We’re ALLIES! Isn’t this a form of betrayal?!
NPC-Romy(2)Romy||:There is only one thing you can’t betray, Agent Keven.+That would be the Stasi.
NPC-Keven(5)J||:……
NPC-Romy(0)Romy||:We and the Commander were simply using each other. And now, the time has come to take in our nets.+Don’t throw tantrums like a child.
NPC-Keven(5)J||:…Good day.

()||AVG_Door_Hit<震屏3>417:[After leaving Romy’s line of sight, J viciously slams his documents on the table startling K who is beside him.]
NPC-Jason(2)K||GF_21summer_avg_SecretAgent:What’s gotten into you? How about backup for the Commander?
NPC-Keven(5)J||:That old hag denied it!+She was going on about how we were both using each other, if she’s going to order people around then why doesn’t–
NPC-Jason(2)K||:Did she ask us to terminate the operation?
NPC-Keven(5)J||:…Huh? What?
NPC-Jason(2)K||:Or did she ask the Commander to terminate the operation?
NPC-Keven(0)J||:No, actually…
NPC-Jason(3)K||:Good.
()||:[K lets some of the tension flow out of him.]
NPC-Keven(5)J||:Wait, what do you mean?
NPC-Jason(2)K||:Officially, support has been denied, but civilian backup from unknown origins is not similarly restricted…
NPC-Keven(0)J||:Wait a minute, so you’re saying–
()||ClothingUpAVG_Door_Open_Close:[K smiles and picks up his folder, then strides out of the office.]

()Commander||AVG_tele_disconnect:I hope this is good news.
NPC-Jason(3)K<通讯框>||:Our work has gone very well too.+Mr. Kryuger will be released soon…
NPC-Jason(3)Commander<同时置暗><通讯框>||:I am very glad that you told me this news.
NPC-Jason(3)K<通讯框>||:It’s nothing… It’s what I ought to do.

NPC-Griffin(0)爵士||:…Looks like they’ve made a bit of progress at last..
()||AVG_Camera_Focus:[Sir puts down his teacup and reads the email, paying attention to the sender’s address.]
()???||:“The spider has returned.”+“But she has survived leaving “that person’s” room, and gained an opportunity to be upgraded.”
NPC-Griffin(0)爵士||:So those who fail in Paradeus can also avoid the death sentence, hm.
()???||:“The exact reason is related to a girl called Lunasia.”
NPC-Griffin(1)爵士||:……
()||AVG_Camera_Focus:[Sir’s eyebrows flutter, and then he drags down on the screen, but there is no more content in the email.]
()||ClothingUp:[After removing all traces of the email, Sir picks his cup up again and narrows his eyes, as though he were thinking back on the distant past.]
