5 5 301 1 Lillian Look, I've said this already... It was just out there, and I thought it belonged to one of the kids around. I was going to fix it and just leave it here, but you can totally have it if you think it's yours. 1

9 9 301 1 Young Man A I don't know. It's probably just something that I kept around... as a reminder of my dreams as a child. 1

11 11 301 Unable to get to the bottom of his question, the young man resorts to writing down a message on the piece of paper he got the night before.
12 12 301 The driver in the transport vehicle out there is honking impatiently by the time he finishes folding up the paper and leaves it with one of the Constructs guarding the base.

44 45 301 1 Construct Soldier 1 Where is the Chief Commandant? 1
45 46 301 Construct Soldier 2 Gray Raven left in the middle of the night because they got a bit of a situation going on. 2
46 47 301 Construct Soldier 3 What happened? 3
47 48 301 Construct Soldier 2 Not sure, but apparently some of the guys guarding the place defected, and God only knows where they went. 2
48 49 301 Construct Soldier 1 ...All these disasters over the past few months are pretty disconcerting. Say, do you think they're hanging out with Ascendants now? 1
49 50 301 Construct Soldier 2 Ascendants? No way... 2
50 51 301 Construct Soldier 1 Oh, yes way. Who wouldn't want to be immune to the virus, right? I mean, not everyone can be, but better giving it a try than waiting around. 1
51 52 301 Construct Soldier 3 C'mon, you're talking out of your ass. 3
52 53 301 Construct Soldier 1 I'm not. See, people have been talking about this. They think there is no end to all this fighting, so they'd rather keep their options open—for example, by joining the ranks of Ascendants and see if they get lucky. 1
53 54 301 Construct Soldier 2 And that's why the higher-ups decided to send the Purifying Force out, right? 2

58 59 301 Their sighs fade into the lasting silence that shrouds the car—until one of them decides he's had enough and starts talking about Lillian, who sits in the corner.

61 62 301 1 Construct Soldier 5 What's with the long face, Lillian? 2
62 63 301 Lillian I lost touch with Talbot from the squad, and I haven't been able to get hold of him yet. 1
63 64 301 Construct Soldier 5 What? You should have brought this up earlier. 2
64 65 301 Lillian Well, he was still on the line until just now... 1

67 68 301 1 Construct Soldier 4 You gotta keep an eye out for the guy. He kind of lost it after what happened to Anna, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if he decides to defect somewhere down the road. 2
71 72 301 AniZhuanchangEnd A few moments later, the transport vehicle stops at a fork. All the Constructs get off.
72 73 301 The young man and Lillian head toward Medical Center 09 together as they chat about what's been happening lately—until her device starts ringing.
84 85 301 Talbot I'm surrounded by a bunch of Corrupted! I need help! 13
85 86 301 Bird CUB Wait, I thought you were supposed to be there to help people! 13
86 87 301 Talbot Shut up, Blush! 13
87 88 301 Young Man A Blush? 2
88 89 301 Blush Help! Blush is calling for help! 13
89 90 301 Talbot This thing is a CUB based on a weero, which is why I call it "Blush". I mean, it's lost its colors so much that you can't really tell what it... Wait, why am I telling you all this now?! 13
90 91 301 Talbot I just sent our coordinates your way. Just come and help us now! 13
