3 3 301 DialogEnable The moon is hanging high above the city by the time your work to support the conservation area is over.
4 4 301 Defensive artillery runs silently at the city outskirt. Building repairs inside the conversation area are not over; people set up tents at the foot of the CPF, resting and dining by the sporadic campfire and the moonlight.
5 5 301 AniZhuanchangBegin You can hear the conversation of two soldiers from a nearby tent. They have kept their voices low to avoid disturbing others' rest, but you still manage to hear them, having sat close by.
11 11 301 Construct Soldier Something on your mind? 1
12 12 301 Armed Scavenger ... 2
13 13 301 The Scavenger soldier sighs heavily after a long silence.
14 14 301 Armed Scavenger Sigh... It just feels unreal. 2
15 15 301 Armed Scavenger Before you lot saved me and took me here, my friend and I were just wandering about. 2
16 16 301 Armed Scavenger There was no tent, not to mention a bed, just in case some Corrupted showed up during our sleep and took us out. We had to rest back-to-back, guns in our hands, hidden in a hole somewhere. 2
17 17 301 Armed Scavenger Now there's a tent, and food, and Babylonia to keep us safe. We ain't relying on our junk equipment to protect ourselves no more. 2
18 18 301 Armed Scavenger There's still a gun in my hand, but my friend couldn't last long enough to get help from Babylonia. 2
19 19 301 Construct Soldier I'm sorry. 1
20 20 301 Armed Scavenger There's nothing to apologize for. Ol' Johnny and I both knew we'd die any moment. No despairin' without dreamin', that's how we Scavengers see it. 2
21 21 301 Armed Scavenger But seeing the conservation area being rebuilt, hearing the news of other cities getting taken back, and receiving supplies from Babylonia—that's when I knew that the days of living in fear were over. 2
22 22 301 Armed Scavenger Safety and stability are back, and it all just feels so unreal. 2
23 23 301 Construct Soldier I understand. 1
24 24 301 Construct Soldier I used to be a soldier fighting on the frontline as well. Barely got rescued from underneath the grim reaper's scythe, and now I'm stationed way back here in the conservation area. 1
25 25 301 Construct Soldier The cries of my company when they died still echo in my ears. I can still feel their broken limbs on my fingertips. 1
26 26 301 Construct Soldier Enemies with overwhelming power easily took down my squad. Despair had shattered my will to fight. 1
27 27 301 Construct Soldier The last thing I saw before I blacked out was a raven-winged Ascendant. 1
28 28 301 Armed Scavenger But you still survived. 2
29 29 301 Construct Soldier Yeah. I found out afterward that a squad managed to defeat the Ascendant and held the defense line. 1
30 30 301 Armed Scavenger Who were they? 2
31 31 301 Construct Soldier Gray Raven. That's what the report said. 1
32 32 302 ... 33
33 33 301 Armed Scavenger Aren't they the ones here earlier today... 2
34 34 301 Construct Soldier That's right. They're still fighting on multiple battlefields, even to this day. 1
35 35 301 Construct Soldier It's because of soldiers like them that I don't think humans are hopeless in this war. 1
36 36 301 Armed Scavenger I see... We were both crushed by despair, which is why the safety we're feeling now is so unreal, I guess. 2
37 37 301 Construct Soldier Enough with the cheesy stuff. We're alive, after all. 1
38 38 301 Construct Soldier As long as we live, we have to carry on our companions' hopes and dreams and bring them to fruition. 1
39 39 301 Armed Scavenger ...You're right. 2
40 40 301 Construct Soldier Don't you have some cards with you? If you can't sleep, how about a game? 1
41 41 301 Armed Scavenger Sigh... Sure. 2
42 42 301 Construct Soldier ... 1
43 43 301 Armed Scavenger ... 2
44 44 301 Armed Scavenger Dammit... I can't even hold my cards steady now... 2
45 45 301 The old, raspy voice of the Scavenger sounds shaken.
46 46 202 2
47 47 301 Armed Scavenger I'm going to bed... We'll play next time. 2
48 48 202 1
49 49 301 Having said that, the Scavenger does not seem to have fallen asleep, given the rustling sound you hear from the tent.
50 50 301 Construct Soldier Right, next time. Both of us.
51 51 301 You hear quiet sobbing from the tent, and his weeping adorns the silent night.
52 52 301 AniZhuanchangBegin You stand up and walk far away.
55 55 301 AniZhuanchangEnd You hear a lullaby, on and off, on your way. Following the sound, you see Liv sitting in a crowd next to a woman, humming along with her. The woman is teaching her how to sing the song.
56 56 301 Between the two lies a familiar, kitten-like boy. The corner of his mouth is still dotted with crumbs of rations; Liv has covered him with a blanket, in case he catches a cold during the night.
57 57 301 The woman teaches Liv as she watches carefully at the sleeping boy, gently rubbing away the crumbs by his mouth.
58 58 302 Liv, what's the situation... 59
59 59 301 Liv gestures to you to be quiet. It seems that the boy has just fallen asleep.
60 60 301 The woman carries a cup to you.
61 61 201 1 500251
62 62 301 1 Woman This is some soup that we made. I hope you won't mind. 1
63 63 301 You find yellow-tinted broth inside. Behind them is a pot with barely enough soup cooked, but she still fills your cup to the brim. The sweetness of corn perfumes the air.
64 64 302 Did you plant this? 65
65 65 301 Woman Yes. We planted them on the experimental farm inside the conservation area. 1
66 66 301 Woman Akdilek brought us excellent seeds for corn from other conservation areas, turning the impossible dream of growing crops possible. 1
67 67 301 You take the cup from the woman and take a sip.
68 68 301 The initial bitterness turns to sweetness as the corn mixture passes your throat, its fragrance filling your mouth. As the woman has said, this is something impossible to dream of in the past, with the harsh environment on the surface.
69 69 301 Woman There's something I want to say to you ever since leaving the no man's land. 1
70 70 302 ? 71 Please. 71
71 71 301 Looking at Liv and you, the woman is getting emotional. Her lips are trembling before eventually saying two words.
72 72 301 Woman Thank you. 1
73 73 301 Woman You didn't mind how hostile we were when we first met, saving my grandson nonetheless and bringing us here to this conservation area. 1
74 74 301 Woman Even though we agreed with relocating here, we still didn't approve of everything Babylonia did when we first arrived. 1
75 75 301 Woman But after living here, we start to realize something we didn't want to accept—that even though the World Government has abandoned us once, it doesn't mean that everyone there has given up those of us remaining on the surface. 1
76 76 301 Woman The conservation areas built one after another are the best evidence. 1
77 77 301 Woman Old habits die hard, but we Scavengers have left the no man's land behind. Perhaps it's time we start anew. 1
78 78 301 After thanking you, the woman's words come out nonstop like a broken dam.
79 79 301 Woman My apologies. Someone my age should be able to remain calm despite the changes, but it turns out I'm still as sentimental as ever. 1
80 80 202 1
81 81 301 She wipes away the tears from the corner of her eyes, returning to her grandson's side, sitting down and caressing his cheek.
82 82 301 Still, the gentle smile hung at the corner of her mouth cannot hide the sorrow underneath.
83 83 301 They finally have food on their plates and a roof above their heads, but the only family they have left is each other.
84 84 301 All her other relatives, much like the many families on the surface, have been lost during the war with the Punishing Virus.
85 85 301 Liv reaches out and gently pats the woman on the back.
86 86 301 The woman is no longer the defensive mother she once was, leaning her head on Liv's shoulders and drifting off to sleep.
87 87 301 Seeing the woman and child by her side, Liv looks at you and nods, indicating that you can leave this area to her.
88 88 301 AniZhuanchangBegin The temperature begins to decrease as the night continues. People gather in their tents in groups, soundly asleep, accompanied by the moonlight and the lullaby.
97 97 301 AniZhuanchangBegin 1 Hassen Gray Raven's main mission in the coming days will be to boost morale in each fighting region to establish people's hope for victory. 1
102 102 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Just like what the President said. Clearing Corrupted, scouting, transferring supplies—simple, cumbersome, and focused work has become the major theme of your recent days.
103 103 301 Conservation areas are being built one after another behind the frontlines. With the help of Akdilek, people are trading with each other. ARU is being steadily rebuilt. Lost bases in some areas are recovered by the Forsaken.
104 104 301 With each of your recent missions, you can see the surface is on track to being reclaimed.
105 105 301 You have also fulfilled your objectives perfectly, encouraging the men and women on the ground as the Parliament hopes.
125 125 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Similar phrases have been appearing around you. People's attention has also become another form of scrutiny, protecting as well as pressuring you.
126 126 301 The mission logs before you are both approvals and bounds of the Gray Raven.
127 127 201 1 500166
128 128 301 1 Lucia Commandant, you're still awake? 1
129 129 302 Just signing off the recent logs.
130 130 301 Lucia, Liv, and Lee step inside the room one by one, interrupting your spiraling thoughts.
131 131 204 1 2
132 132 203 1 0.25 -400
133 133 201 2 1031001 1 400
134 134 301 1 Liv walks toward you with a steaming tea cup.
135 135 302 What is this? 136 Thanks. 138
136 136 301 Liv Tea I made with the lavender I planted in the break room. Drinking it can relax your mind and relieve pressure. 2
137 137 302 Thank you. 138
138 138 301 You take the cup from her, and its warmth casts away the coldness on your fingertips after having swept through the mission logs.
139 139 301 Liv Commandant, the pressure must have been building up inside you. What are you thinking? Talk to us about it. 2
140 140 302 ... 141
141 141 302 Just duties for soldiers. 142
142 142 202 1 2 1
143 143 301 Lee shakes his head, seeing the logs on the desk.
144 144 201 1 500026 10
145 145 301 1 Lee There are so much more to do, so many problems we can solve instead of staying in the back, safe and secured. 1
146 146 302 You're right. 147
147 147 202 1 1
148 148 201 1 500166 5 -400
149 149 201 2 1031001 400
150 150 301 1 Lucia The situation isn't officially steady yet. We can't let our guard down on those who took the commandant away in the first place. 1
151 151 302 Kurono... 152
152 152 301 This name has been appearing around you more often lately.
162 162 301 AniZhuanchangEnd President Hassen and the others have realized the danger you could encounter since back then.
163 163 301 Kurono's behavior was also quite suspicious when you were connecting to Cerberus.
164 164 301 Why would they withhold the coordinates of Luna's home from Cerberus in the first place? Why did they give them the wrong coordinates and task you to locate them?
165 165 301 That arrangement was not a mistake. It was a deliberate test.
166 166 301 And ignoring the underlying threat Kurono is presenting, hidden beneath the calm surface of Babylonia—
167 167 301 You have been discovering Dead Zones along the railway, and you have heard of stagnant Corrupted in multiple areas. All of them point to the fact that something is changing on the surface.
168 168 301 A threat is lingering around you, the dots waiting to be connected.
169 169 302 It's not over yet. 170
170 170 301 Clearly, the Parliament wants to keep Gray Raven safely in the back and shape them into idols of hope. Sand down the sharp edges, and Gray Raven will become the tool to comfort the masses.
171 171 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin This does not bode well to everyone on the team. The thought of breaking the stalemate is on the edge of all of your minds, and that is when your terminal rings.
