This is 08's Eagle-01 squad, calling branch 03.[A.R.C. Member]
Branch 03 copy, over.Bruno
We've got the target packed up and we're bringing it in.Currently en route, transport route is Route 6, serial number 3109-003. We're expecting to arrive in Node 03 in 2 hours and 13 minutes.[A.R.C. Member]
Copy, matches the report. Please update us on your status every 30 minutes, over.Bruno
Copy, Eagle-01 squad's transmission complete. Captain, report's finished.Sagar

Hi, you feeling okay????

Uh, that... hello????

Hey now, calm down, calm down! We won't hurt you.???

Is your name... Rin? Can I call you that?Rin
......!? My name's... Rin?Sagar
Didn't I ask you your name when you first woke up? That's what you told me.Rin

Captain... what are you doing?Alex
Who knows? Hey, don't give that thing a name, are you crazy?Sagar
... She speaks just fine, doesn't she? She may give more of a reaction if we talk with her.Alex
... *sigh* ... Whatever. Don't overdo it.Sagar
Got it. Don't worry. We'll get you somewhere safe real soon. We'll protect you.Lucy
......Sagar
You rest awhile. If you need anything just call for us. Sorry, we can't let you leave this trailor at the moment. Just be patient.Rin
That, that...Sagar
Huh?Rin
May, may I ask... where you're taking me?Sagar
Based on the regulations of the A.R.C. exploration team, where you were discovered is under the jurisdiction of Node 03, so we're taking you to Node 03 first. After registration, we'll need to take you back to headquarters, which is in Node 08.Rin
A.R.C...?Sagar
Sorry, we can't give you too much information. But I can guarantee you that you're absolutely safe with us.Rin
... Okay.Rin

A few of the men suffered minor injuries... Gary's left arm and lateral abdomen were shot. Logistics already sent him back to A.R.C.Sagar

Relax, Captain, he'll be fine. It's hard to face combat drones without getting scratched up a bit.Alex

What did HQ say?Sagar
You mean about me letting the squad save citizens without their permission? Haha, of course I got chewed out......Even threatened to withdraw my position. Luckily Instructor Edwards helped smooth things out.Lucy

Ah, sorry. Shouldn't bring him up...Lucy
No, that... I don't care anymore.Sagar
Oh, yea... Okay, then.Lucy
What about you? Do you blame yourself? About Gary.Sagar
... Yeah. You.. can you tell?Lucy
Each time a squad member falls into a bad spot, you always have the same reaction.Sagar
I ordered it, after all. Everyone had to face those drones without enough time to prepare. This time, we were lucky. But one day, I'm gonna make the wrong decision...Lucy
Anyone who's in the exploration team might have to sacrifice their life for the mission at any time. Everyone was aware of that when they stepped into the forbidden areas.Sagar
You're right. But if you just think of yourself it might affect whether those beside you live or die... Haha, maybe my next psychological evaluation won't be up to standard.Lucy

Exploration Team Member
Captain, scan's complete. This area's safe.Sagar
Alright, we'll stay here for the night. You guys set up a temporary base. Big B, Lucy, report back.Bruno
Yessir. Our unit was responsible for investigating Node 13. Currently, we're only able to confirm the position of the watch shop. Tomorrow we'll try to make contact with the shop owner.Sagar
Sounds like things aren't going smoothly.Bruno
You can say that again. The residents in 13 are the same as ever. Ain't exactly what I'd call "welcoming"... We've only got an hour. and they aren't giving us anything. It's a real headache.Alex
We've got set up camp way out in the stick? F***, what kind of s*** mission is this? If I would've known I'd have stayed in 08...Lucy
...Why are you here, Jackal?Alex
Huh? You want me to help them guys build a house? Come off it. What the hell are we doing looking for the owner of a watch shop, Bambi?Sagar
... Did you forget or are you just playing stupid? Colin Neumann Jr.'s watch is custom made. An analysis revealed that it was produced in Node 13. The owner must have some knowledge of where the target is.Alex
Hey, hey. Just let him spill the beans, no? We can use cash, or fists...Bruno
... Control yourself. A.R.C.'s relationship with Node 13 has never improved. If we cause a scene, not only will it be hard to restabilize, but the target will also go away.Sagar
Agreed. Do your best not to use force. Adapt to the circumstances. Next is Lucy... How's the investigation going on "Code Name α"?Lucy
Based on its speed, landing altitude, and calculations of the drone defense systems, we've already excluded the possibility that Code Name α has undergone biotech enhancements or prosthetics.Sagar
So it's not a human... But drones aren't that agile. Plus, she's clearly intelligent and possesses the ability to speak.Alex
So what is it? A monster from the forbidden areas?Lucy
Not enough info. A better guess would be... an Architect.Alex
Ha!? An Architect? You got water in your brain, sis?Sagar
...It's not impossible. Lucy, apply for a database from HQ. Search for any abnormal incidents that occurred in Node 08 since N.A 700.Bruno
N.A 700... Captain, you think that thing followed us into the city?Sagar
It's possible. Given her speed, it wouldn't be difficult for her to escape out from under us. I'm guessing she's been hiding under the surface in 08 ever since then. Since that's the case, she most likely would've left a trace.Lucy
I'll apply, but Code Name α has nothing to do with our case. It's hard to say if HQ will allow it.Sagar
First, give it a try. This thing roams about in the forbidden areas and battled with out of control drones... ... Even though it doesn't have anything to do with the mission, we've got to check it out for the safety of the citizens.Alex
Not again. Just looking for more work... Whatevs, if you're gonna come in contact with her, I want in. Still haven't figured which one of us is the real Alpha.Bruno
Don't act like you two've got a date or something. Captain, what's your mission?Sagar
Alright, the data from Node 13's old Admin system has been collected from servers that were abandoned by residents in the forbidden areas. With these, 08's weather system can simulate the climate in this area.Alex
Question! Why's your mission so damn easy?Sagar
Circle the outside rim of Node 13 and reach the 5 locations in 2 hours, pass through the craggy desert valley, doesn't sound easy.Bruno
Upgrading the weather system would improve the standard of life in the cities. This is important... Speaking of which, when the jobs were being dished out, you were out fooling around. Didn't help at all!Alex
Yeah, so what! I only care about being able to send out useful runts during battle.Sagar
Hey, this ain't no complicated mission, but it'd be good if we wrapped this up before the official search... I've got a feeling, that this won't be an easy target.Alex
Bambi's scared, is she?Bruno
Finished, Jackal? Virus viscocity levels are rising. We'd better hurry up and set up camp. Get over here and help out!Alex
...*yawn*... Who do you think I am, Villager A? This badass didn't join the exploration team to do crap like this! Bambi! You know what I'm talking about!Bruno
Oh, shut the hell up and get moving!

Dad would speak proudly about that, and that made me proud. He never told you because you were always so worried. You never approved of it. But he told me that never got him down because he knew that what he was doing was for the good of the human race.Riya

We specialize in providing a platform to those who are interested in hand-to-hand combat with absolutely no restrictions. Since it's not under the Bureau's jurisdiction, it's much larger and the audience is a whole lot crazier. Of course, the reward's quite handsome. Whoever wins the preliminary contest gets 10,000 bucks.Sagar
10-10,000!?Man In Black
That's right. If I write a recommendation letter, you won't have to pay the registration fee-- but if you win, I get a 30% commission on the reward. But you still have to pay if you lose. My job is to look for fighters like you.Sagar
Like that woman...?Man In Black
Don't be fooled by her looks, she's really something in the ring. The audience is often satisfied with her performance. It's a pity the drugs ruined her.Sagar
... Is this legal?Man In Black
Haha, didn't I tell you? It's not under the Bureau's jurisdiction, so it's kind of in a gray area. In any case, if you are confident in your fighting and up for earning some extra cash, then give it a try. I'm no gangster, I am a serious businessman. I won't force you if you aren't interested.Sagar

You're... that guy...? Why...Alex
Alex, Jackal, even forgot my name... Let me tell you, I joined the exploration camp one year earlier than you. According to the tradition here, you gotta call me Officer.Sagar
... You... What are you doing here? Don't tell me you are interested in exploration?Alex
Huh? Of course not. I'm out for you!Sagar
... Me?Alex
Well, it's not exactly like that. Let me put it this way, I've been after you this whole time. But you were right, I can't defeat any of those motherF***ing training officers! Haha, but I have to admit that this is an interesting place.Sagar
... This is not a place for you to fight.Alex
Whatever. Didn't expect you'd sign up this year, I thought I'd meet you sooner.Sagar
I am as poor as dirt, alright?Alex
Yeah, you didn't take that prize money... How can a poor wretch like you get in?Sagar
I... I saved up money working part-time.Alex
... Heh. P-POOWAHAHAHAHA!Sagar
... What the F*** are you laughing about?Alex
Hahaha, a few days ago I laughed even harder when I saw your enlistment score... the score you got on the written test was worse than mine? You are hilarious!? Haha...Sagar
Cut the crap! At least I got full mark on my physical ability.

Anyone can get full mark on those kinds of tests... Eh, where are you going? Do you even know where to go?Sagar

Just 'cuz you provided me with some entertainment, I'll help you out. Go straight and take two rights to an elevator. You can get back to the dorm from there.Sagar

What? Look ahead when you are walking.Sagar
How do I know you're not creeping up from behind?Alex
Sounds fun... But no, I was just saying what's up. After you survive the training without breaking any arms or legs, we'll slug it out.Sagar
I already beat your ass.Alex
Hehe, don't underestimate the training here, I am different from the past. Your fist ain't gonna touch me now.Sagar

... Alright, you got me. What's the deal?Trainee H
Just wanna chit chat, Sagar, that's all. You've been rather cocky recently.Payne
Champion of the comprehensive physical ability test 3 times in a row? Breaking the record of long-distance running that's existed for 100 years? Knocking down 10 people in combat class? This is ridiculous, what meds you on?Sagar

No, we want to make a deal.Sagar
A deal?Trainee H
You know as well as I do that they're just looking for the top guy. The higher-ups already noticed you early on. Ordinary people like us don't stand out easily.Payne
Being trained like a dog every day, being forced to drop out of the team after a few years...... We don't want that, so we wanna ask you a favor.Sagar
You want me to go easy on you guys during the exam?Larry
Hey, hey, hey. That's not what I said. Isn't it nice to let others shine once in a while? It's good for all of us.Sagar
I really respect the rules here, I think that there's a chance for everyone if you all work hard. Besides, mutual benefit? I am not hearing anything that's beneficial to me.Trainee H
Hey... if we cooperate, us three won't accidentally break your hand, does that count as a benefit?

Let me remind you guys, it's prohibited for trainees to fight in private...Trainee H

welcome sir! How may I help you?Alex
WAH! I heard that this was the most famous handcrafted watch shop in the whole world. It really is, isn’t it!Owner
Haha, customer, don’t exaggerate now. I wouldn’t dare say the best in the world, but certainly the best in Node 13.Alex
Wah, this one! “Eternal”, made in N.A. 600, right!? WAH! Never thought I’d get to see the real thing!Owner
Wah, indeed! You really know your stuff. That’s the work of my great-grandfather. Whatta you think? Care to take a photo?Alex
Eh? Nah. I’m like everyone around here, don’t like carrying around too much tech. Seeing it with my own eyes is the best way to admire it. You really are a boss! So, you can tell I’m not a local, huh?Owner
Hehe, Node 13 is pretty small. I like your energy kid! Alright then, what can I help you with? You surely didn’t come all this way for a ready-made product.Alex
You got it. Actually, my brother’s birthday is coming up and I wanna get him something real good.Owner
Customer-made? No problem. What kind of guy is he?Alex
*chuckles* Figured you’d ask. A watch can represent a person’s entire personality, correct?Owner
Couldn’t have said it better myself.Alex
Let me think… He’s got a fondness for classical culture, but also a fan of revolution. He’s conservative like a gentleman, but when it comes to creativity and philosophy no one can beat him. Hard to summarize, but I really respect him.Owner
And what is your brothers profession?Alex
Oh! He’s a classical musician. A lot of his instruments have actually been imported from node 13.Owner
What a coincidence! I’ve got a customer that often frequents me. His personality sounds a lot like your brother. He just ordered a new watch custom-made. You want to check out the design? I’m only half done, but it’s worth checking out.Alex
Wah! That would be wonderful!

I see… 6 mm silver-plated watch base? Lavish, yet not to fancy. I like it. Can you fit it with a leather band so I can see how it would look?Owner

Sorry for making you all wait… Captain.Sagar
Alright, everybody listen up. I’ve gotten news from HQ that the mission’s changed.Exploration Team Member
Changed? We don’t need to arrest the target anymore?Sagar
No, the target hasn’t changed. But “Bring him back dead or alive” has changed to “it’s absolutely necessary that he be brought back alive”.Alex
What!?Sagar
…What’s the matter, Alex?Alex
Are you kidding me? This ain’t gonna be any fun!Lucy
…Captain, considering how dangerous the target is, it’s going to be extremely difficult to capture him alive. Much more so than simply shooting him dead. We’re going to need a major strategy adjustment.Exploration Team Member
I agree. The report on the watch owner indicates that the target currently resides deep in the forbidden areas. It will take us at bare minimum two weeks to travel there… The environment is already dangerous enough and now we’ve got to think of a way to capture the target alive?Sagar
I know this’ll increase our workload but we’re eagle-01, the cream of the crop! I trust it will not be an issue.Alex
Oh, shut it Bambi! I want out of this boring shit!Lucy
Jackal, watch it!Sagar
Relax, Lucy…. Alex, we have to catch him alive, but I’ve got a special mission I want to give you.Alex
Eh?Sagar
Whether or not he sees it coming, once we find Dr. Neumann… You are going to smash his right arm.Alex
…Oh…Sagar
Lucy, you’re going to use a stun gun to short circuit his right eye. If he loses half of his vision as well as use of his right arm, his sense of balance will be completely destroyed. There’s no way he’ll be able to move properly.Alex
So… Injuring him isn’t an issue?Sagar
That’s right.Alex

…You’re overthinking it. I have felt like this fugitive was someone special since the very beginning. You think A.R.C. would send the entire team just to catch one man? There is something more going on.Lucy
So, you expected something like this was going to happen?Bruno
In any case, I’m the captain’s primary advisor.Lucy

Are you on edge for Sagar’s sake? Relax. I worked with Alex and Sagar before you even joined the quad. Haha… Lot’s of memories…Lucy

“Locate the only Model G-5 Mech Beast in Area 3 and recover its core chip”… Model G-5 Mech Beats?Bruno
You don’t remember? The training Officer told us about this… Jackal?Alex
Huh? I don’t pay attention to that meaningless crap.Bruno
… Listen. These mech beats were develop by A.R.C. based on creatures form the old generation. Besides simulating the habits of wild beasts, weapons were added for training purposes.Sagar
Umm, so far it’s still stuff I remember…Bruno
The Model G-5 is based on a four legged creature called a “Giraffe”. It’s defining characteristic is a neck that’s several meters long. They used to feed on high-resting leaves. Although they are naturally gentle creatures…Alex
Vegetarian? Isn’t that the perfect prey for a jackal?

Hey, where you going?Alex
Duh, I’m going to go crush that mech beast!Bruno
wait a sec, this is a united mission, with only one guy…Sagar
Forget it. Don’t stop him. There’s no way we can cooperate with him.Alex
Sagar?Sagar
Hey, since so eagerly want to see who comes out on top… Let’s make this a competition. First one to get the chip wins. There’s only one mech beast, right?Alex
This? A competition? Sounds pretty lame…Sagar
… This is one of the official exploration team missions. Or are you saying you don’t think you can do it? Afraid you’re gonna lose to a poor little bambi?Alex
Ha, Haha… AHAHAHAH!! There’s no way I’m losing this!
[Sprints]
Bruno
… You guys are a pain in the ass, I just wanna complete the mission smoothly…Sagar
Sorry… Regardless of who gets the chip, you’ll pass the session. Piece of cake.Bruno
Is it that easy? The training officer didn’t seem to think so…Sagar

Finished. If it’s stepped on, a high voltage electric current will pass through the ground, short-circuiting the mech beast. Then, the chip’s ours.Bruno
You make it sound like it’s easy… That giraffe is at least 10 meters tall no matter how you look at it! Did the biology department make a mistake or something?Sagar
Officer Bruno, sounds like Basicpedia… “Students, please study harder!”… Hahah!Bruno
… *Sigh*.. Well, from the perspective of simulating its habits, they did a great job. Is that old generation technology as well?Sagar

Didn’t expect you to use metal climbing ropes to conduct electricity… Especially under these conditions. Nice job, Sagar.Sagar
Hey, whatta you want to say Jackal? Just say it.Alex
Say what!? If you two hadn’t messed my shit up, I would’ve finished that kid of in no time!Bruno
You’re wrong, Jackal. Take a look. It’s core chip and balance systems are both located in it’s head. This kind of system allows it to always maintain a four-legged stance.Alex
Are you an instruction manual or something!? Get to the point!Bruno
So, if Sagar hadn’t set up an electromagnetic trap to cause it to fall over you’d have had to climb its neck, dismantle its armor while suspending in midair, grab the chip, dodge its lasers.. There’s just not enough time. Get it? If you were that stubborn, you’d have lost right from the start.Alex
… F*** off…Bruno
Sagar, same goes for you. If Jackal hadn’t distracted the mech, there’s no way you could’ve got it… You’re just not fast enough to dodge the lasers.Sagar
… You’re right…Bruno
Hehe, face reality bros! Perhaps this isn’t what either of you envisioned, but that was brilliant teamwork.Alex

Willing to sacrifice yourself for your comrades. That’s undoubtedly the act of a hero, Trainee Sagar. You may not have a wolf’s gaze, but your selfless actions bring forth heroic courage in both your comrades… This characteristic is far rarer than any physical or mental ability.Sagar
… A Wolf’s gaze…Edwards

Everybody listen up. This time around we’re headed to the southside of N501-423 to capture some grave robbers. Based on the patrol squad’s reports, looks like there’s other humans destroying and robbing the local sites. You three new guys, listen up. You got to keep up with the squad. This will be your first mission where you’ll be battling with humans. Your identity here is as a trainee. I’m letting you participate for those purposes, so be cautious and aware out there. Understood?Alex

The target is 100 meters ahead. Squad Fox-03 is currently gathering intel. Our job is to carry out the capture. Ina moment you three are going to follow me closely. I hope that through this mission that you can pick up a lot of useful information.Sagar & Alex & Bruno
Yes, sir![Fox-03 Captain]
Fox-03 reporting to Eagle-01, a scan has revealed 5 targets. All are adult males, identity unknown. All are armed with guns an explosives. Models unknown. Looks like the weapons were self-made.Edwards
Copy, squad Eagle -01 received. Fox, hold position. Eagle get ready for action. Capture is our primary goal, but depending on their firepower a firefight is allowed.Squad

Damnit! Only one, right?Fox-03 Captain
Yes, it was Will. Sorry! We shouldn’t have made this mistake…Edwards
Think it over when we get back. Right now, our first priority is to save the hostage.Fox-03 Captain
They broke Will’s mask… If we want to get him out safely we’ll need to wait until they’ve all left. Otherwise, the explosives on his body will explode.Edwards
They’re not to be messed with…. Looks like we won’t be able to capture them. The safety of our team is top priority.Fox-03 Captain
… Edwards, I don’t think we should compromise with terrorists. Will is prepared to face whatever may happen.Edwards
The safety of our team is top priority. In this mission, my rank is higher than yours. I won’t repeat that fact a third time.Fox-03 Captain
… Let me remind you, it’s not the time for personal matters…Alex
Hey, hey, no time for this stuff, right? If we keep this up, They’re all going to get away and our brother is gonna die.Fox-03 Captain

Captain, your body doing alright?Edwards
Don’t call me that. I ain’t captain anymore. You’re the captain now.Sagar
… I still think Alex is better suited for the job My unruliness is what got you hurt in the first place…Edwards
… One month later and, I don’t think these two legs of mine will ever move again. But you got it all wrong. I never blamed you. Your decision brought about the best possible result, even though it came about in a messed up manner. The higher-ups wanted Alex for the job based on their assessments of various data, not to mention you’re going against the rules took away a lot of credibility; But they don’t know what happened out there and the potential in each of you. I believe you’re the best candidate. Moreover, that little runt refused immediately… Forget it, I never liked his attitude.Sagar
He’s got a vulgar mouth, that’s all. He regrets what happened that day more than any of us. He’s upset that he didn’t do anything in the moment, but you know how he is. He’d never come out and say it.Edwards
is that so? I didn’t know you thought so highly of him.Sagar
Alex told me… He used to have a friend from childhood. They started doing underground fighting together and his friend ended up getting beaten to death. I’m sure he got upset back there because that hit too close to home.Edwards
Heh… Didn’t think he was the kind of character to get such a tragic backstory. Anything else? I’m sure you didn’t come here just to praise Alex.Sagar
…Actually… There’s something I wanted to ask you. That robber we killed… I don’t know how to address this situation. Strictly speaking, I was the one who killed him. I never would have thought my father’s profession was this heavy. I mean, having to decide who lives and who dies… That man…. Didn’t get so much as a gravestone. Graver robbers… Are they really so bad that they deserve to be treated like this?Edward
… Your father was an outstanding explorer. You could even say he’s my spiritual leader. The most enlightening piece of information he ever game me was that even if someone’s power isn’t enough to change or improve holes in the system, you’ve still got to do what you think is right in a corrupt environment. One day, little by little, this broken and chaotic world will change.Sagar
…!Edwards
You’re a lot like him…. Indeed, even if you’ve got greater abilities, I don’t believe anyone has the right to determine whether someone lives or dies. But as you saw, not everyone thinks like this. People get consumed by their power, excessively worshipping their own faith, causing their values to get swallowed up… I believe that you’re just like Luka and won’t become swallowed by corruption. Do you too believe this?Sagar
…Edwards
It’ll take some time, but think it over. Sagar, you possess the ability to see people clearly, sharp instincts, and incredible luck. Add to that Bruno’s observational skills and Alex’s undeniable strength; I can already see that you’ll cultivate my Eagle-01 Squad to an even more vigorous state of being. In any case, do it well. To get an opportunity like this, don’t fail to live up to the expectations of the Exploration Team, or the honor of your father’s legacy.Sagar
… Yes, Sir! Thank you, Sir. These words… I’ll remember them well.

We can’t apply for a longer border pass in Node 13. If we’re going to execute this mission and capture Dr. Neumann, we will have to wait until he has left the cit. If we accidentally start a fight inside the city limits it will look VERY bad. Before then, you two will have to survey his movements. Jackal, are you sure the transmitter’s on him?Alex

I… I’m truly sorry. I wash all that had enver happened… All I can do is give you another family, new parterners. Join Eagle-01. I’ll prove to you that the exploration Team isn’t what you…. No…. Isn’t what we believe it is.Lucy
…!? … *Sob* …

Sagar
This is channel 107.83, Captain Sagar…[Rin]
Sagar? It’s me…Sagar
Rin! What a coincidence. I wanted to get in contact with you! I found a new plant species. The shape of the leaf is like a crescent moon. It’s got purple, reddish fruits…[Rin]
That, that…Sagar
… Sorry, are… Are you feeling alright?[Rin]
Not really… Sagar, there’s something… I wanna talk with you about.Sagar
… Is it that outside connection you mentioned last time?[Rin]
.. Yeah.Sagar
Got it… Let’s hear it.
[»»»Fast Forward»»»]
Sagar
So, this person called you out of nowhere?[Rin]
Yeah, but it was different this time. While I was analyzing some data, I was pulled into the connection all of the sudden… I don’t know what to do. I didn’t even get off one sentence…Sagar
They just signed off? You didn’t say anything?[Rin]
Um… Umm, yeah…Sagar
… Doesn’t make sense…[Rin]
I-I don’t know…Sagar
… In any case, I think you’re right to not respond. If they have enough power to forcibly pull you in, it may be dangerous to speak. Whoever it is, they may be trying to use you to get deep into A.R.C.’s system.[Rin]
Ah, I checked. Nothing’s been implanted… Perhaps they’re not out to cause harm…Sagar
Let’s hope that’s the case. Don’t forget your current situation is far from a safe one. If the higher-ups find out about this… You best be extremely careful.[Rin]
I… I understand.Sagar
Sorry. I’m… Right now, you’re going to need to continue to help them. I still don’t have a way to get you free.[Rin]
Don’t say that… You’ve already done so much for me.Sagar
Nowhere near enough. Didn’t I make you a promise? One day…[Rin]
… Leave this place, live a normal life… Is… Is that really possible?Sagar
Of course! I just need to keep working hard, make valuable contributions as captain of Eagle-01 and earn everyone’s trust. The higher-ups will definitely understand when I explain it to them…[Rin]
But… Like this, I…Sagar
Don’t worry, I’ll stay by your side. If you’re afraid of 08 or A.R.C. we can go wherever you want…. And if you’re lucky, maybe you’ll be able to remember some things from your past.[Rin]
… Okay… Thanks so much, Sagar. I’m so lucky to have been found by you.Sagar
Alright, alright. Quit thanking me already. Didn’t I tell you? I’ll protect you, I promise.[Rin]
… Yeah. How’s the mission going? The Dr., he…Sagar
It’s going well. The informant is willing to cooperate. We’ve basically locked in on his location. Next, we’re gonna head into the forbidden areas on foot to locate him.[Rin]
On foot? Aren’t you scared of being found?Sagar
You got it. He’s a very keen fellow. This time around we can’t rind in on a helicopter. Otherwise, he must disappear in an instant.[Rin]
… I hope it doesn’t come to a confrontation.Sagar
I don’t have much hope, since it’s that guy we’re talking about. If possible, I hope we can resolve it just by talking it over.[Rin]
Haha… Good luck.Sagar
I’m alright. The journey’s just a little long, that’s all. We’re expecting to arrive in 2 weeks. I may not be able to contact you during that time, so please take care of yourself.[Rin]
Will do. Thank you for thinking of me…. Alright, I’ll get back to work.
[Radio Connection Ends]

… Rin, are you hiding something from me?

Sagar
We’re here. The signal’s thirty meter’s below the surface.Alex
That sly fox… What’s he doing here?Sagar
Whatever the case, he’s definitely up to something. He definitely let us discover the remains of his shelter on purpose. Everyone, be on guard! Big B, Jackal, and Lucy get into an A formation, you’re all coming with me. The others, await orders here. Pay attention to the exits. Don’t let anything get in or get out.Squad Members
Understood, sir!Sagar
Move out.
[>>>Fast Forward>>>]
Sagar
Signals straight ahead, ten meters, nine… eight…Lucy
No target in our field of vision….Alex
Shh! Listen. What’s that noise?
[Sensor]
Bruno
!? That noise…! Quick, GET DOWN!!!Squad
!?!?!
[Explosion]
Sagar
WAH!!!Lucy
Captain! You alright!?Sagar
… *cough*… *Cough*… I’m fine! Those rocks are blocking the path though…. Retain formation and do not move from your position!Alex
Shit! My head…Bruno
Jackal? You good?Alex
Nothing, just a scratch. Damn… I’m gonna kill him…Bruno
They ordered us to keep him alive….Alex
I don’t give a F***! Hey! Bambi, what’s going on? You find him?Sagar
…Alex
Bambi? You deaf?Sagar
…Duped.Alex
Eyy!?Sagar
it’s just the watch tied to a remote control drone. We’ve been tricked.Alex
THE F***!?Sagar
…? What is this place? Eh, there’s A storage unit here too…
[Projection]
[ConneR]
Good afternoon, Mr. Sagar. Ah, based on your progress, you should’ve been here by noon. I hope I didn’t underestimate you.Sagar
…[ConneR]
Forgive me for making your plan get a tad out of control. Looks like I have a bit of a reputation in Node 13. This message is for you only. If things didn’t go as planned, please ask the others to leave before continuing with this message. Would you like to know how I’d know you’d get separated from your squad? Hehe.. If you wanted to catch a target alive down here, based on the geographic conditions I’m guessing you’d use an A formation with in the lead…. Or perhaps, a C formation? That way, no matter what happened, you’d be in the best position to deal with it. If that is the case, when my sensor triggered an explosion, it should have “accidently” split you off from your team, leaving you here all alone. How do you like my master plan? I hope I didn’t injure anyone in the process. *chuckles*Sagar
This guy, he’s even got our formation down…. Hmph. Not bad.[ConneR]
Excuse me, although I truly have enjoyed playing hide and seek with you all, I have something more important to attend to. I have not been here for some time now.Sagar
…[ConneR]
Why did I choose this location? It’s not because I recall our first meeting with delight, although that is indeed one of the reasons…. Mr. Sagar, I never had the chance to tell you… But the truth you’ve been searching for this whole time, lies at the end of this hallway.Sagar
!?[ConneR]
But if I just told you what it is, that’d be no fun! Do you see the circulation vent on the ceiling above you?Sagar
…[ConneR]
With your lackluster height, it may be a tad difficult to grab on, but once you get up you’ll get to your comrades in no time. You are free to leave this place and continue your fruitless pursuit of me. But if you have even the slightest interest in what I said…. Please, walk straight ahead. Don’t worry however. I sincerely promise you that this is not a trap, and the Neumann family always keeps it’s promises.
[Playback Ends]
Alex
Hey! Bambi! We can’t get into the circulation vent, but it looks like you will fit. Come on, get back here or we can send in Mrs. Freeze.Sagar
…Alex
Bambi? What are you doing? Respond already!Sagar
… I told you, remain in position and await orders.
[Footsteps]
Lucy
Captain? Where are you going?Alex
Don’t you dare act on your own! You hear me bitch!?Sagar
This is an order. Give me ten minutes.Alex
Shit… Mrs. Free, I’ll lift you up. Get in there.Lucy
… Got it!

Captain!Sagar
Hey!? …Lucy. Didn’t I tell you to sit back and await orders?Lucy
Your expression… What’s the matter? What is this place…?Sagar
… The target is not here. Start gathering data on the geography and environment. Take the information… Take the information back.Lucy
Sagar, you alright?Sagar
…Lucy
What’s going on? What happened in there?Sagar
… My father’s… Corpse.Lucy
What!?Sagar
I saw his mission records… He was killed by Architects. This is where it happened….Lucy
Architects, killing people? That sort of thing, the higher-ups…Sagar
… That target’s father, Colin Sr, was my father’s colleague. When I was little, he came to my house and tried to tell us the truth about what happened, but he was taken away by A.R.C… They must know! They’ve been covering it up from my mother and I all these years…Lucy
Wait a second! If Architects are that dangerous then that one we brought back last year…Sagar
…!Lucy
You got to notify headquarters! And this data….Sagar
…NO!!!Lucy
Why not? This is an issue of safety. It falls under the protocol.Sagar
This… I….Lucy
Sagar… You… You’re not protecting that Architect, are you?Sagar
Sorry…. I just think that before we get to the bottom of this, we shouldn’t do that to her… I want to know exactly what their position is.Lucy
You… You l-Alex
Bambi? Miss Freeze? You in there? What the hell happened?Bruno
Captain, you hear me? I just received an S level emergency command. Headquarters want us to stop this mission and immediately head back ASAP.Sagar
…? Okay, we’re coming up.Alex
Hurry up! F***… Didn’t even catch the bastard and now we’re getting called back and forth like frigging dogs…Sagar
Lucy, you go up first…. Sorry. Please trust me. If I do something unforgivable… You know what to do.Lucy
… Alright.

Alex
Damnit Bambi. How can you be so short!? You need to freaking jump up to reach!?Sagar
… Did headquarters mention why we’re heading back?Alex
Oh, no time for fun, huh? Something weirds going on. Miss Freeze, when you were down there, you two didn’t… You know….?Lucy
Shut it.Sagar
Jackal, settle down. Captain, there were no details. But something this sudden… I’m guessing the droes started attacking again and headquarters determined that if the may be affected-Sagar
Got it. Thanks, Big B. Eagle-01, Listen up! Report back to Node 08 immediately. We’re heading out in ten minutes. Start prepping!
[Footsteps]
Alex
Ha? So that’s it… Hey, don’t you think he’s acting weird?Bruno
Yeah. Like he’s not here at all. Lucy, what happened down there?Lucy
