3 3 301 DialogEnable The slaughter lasted a whole night.
4 4 301 Of the 587 survivors who boarded the train before it departed, only 151 have survived. 23 Constructs remain, excluding those from the elite squads.
5 5 301 To rid the train of the Hetero-Creatures, they have launched three suicide bombings.
6 6 301 And yet, the lost lives and the destroyed tracks have traded but a brief moment of peace. A new wave of enemies quickly surrounds them again.
7 7 301 By the time the haunting nightmare disappears from their sights, and the blood no longer paints an unending line along the tracks, it is already 2 pm of the next day.
8 8 301 Shielded by a devastating amount of casualties, the people finally managed to get some breathing room.
9 9 301 But everyone who has endured the night knows full well that they have survived only because the twins have almost not participated in the fights at all.
10 10 301 They are still in danger.

12 12 301 1 Watanabe How far are the twins from us currently? 1

15 15 301 1 Lee The geolocation feedback suggests that they are about 130 kilometers away, which would take them at least 9 minutes to catch up, even with their speed. But I can't promise that this isn't delayed information. 1
16 16 301 Lucia Only nine minutes... 2

18 18 301 Inside the broken carriage, the survivors are patching themselves up in tears.
19 19 301 Most of the 151 survivors are only lightly wounded—which indicates the unfortunate fact that none of those who were hurt badly lived.
20 20 301 Just as the train cannot stop, these people cannot afford to stop and grieve. They know full well that, should they pause and mourn the departed, they will likely be the next ones lost.
21 21 201 1 500225
22 22 301 1 Changyu We're almost at our destination. We should come up with a plan first. 1
23 23 203 1 0.25 -400
24 24 201 2 500416 400
25 25 301 1 Lucia That's right. We have to find a way to get the survivors off the train as quickly as possible. 2
26 26 301 Changyu Everyone's injured, so they ought to be moving slower. Leaving the station in nine minutes is the best we can hope for. 1
27 27 301 Changyu pauses, withholding what he is about to say. Still, everyone understands what he is trying to point out.
28 28 301 "Most are only lightly wounded" does not mean that everyone is only slightly injured. Not to mention that they cannot guarantee the "lightly wounded" would be able to evacuate from the station in a mere nine minutes.

31 31 301 1 Chrome We still have 5 people in critical condition. 1
32 32 301 Sophia Jamilah is also badly hurt. I'll take her with me. 2
33 33 201 1 500416 -400
34 34 201 2 500225 400
35 35 301 1 Lucia And you, Changyu? 1
36 36 301 Changyu I'll go with Jamilah too. There will be a lot of fights on the way, for sure. Seeing that we don't have any medics here, we can only take one more. 2

39 39 301 1 Watanabe We've lost too much already. 1
40 40 301 After a whole night of loss, the light in Watanabe's pupils is almost gone. The corners of his eyes are still tinted light red—is it tears? Perhaps sweat, or blood? Or could it be a painful mixture of them all?

42 42 201 2 500418 400
43 43 301 1 Chrome We're still a while away from the station, Watanabe. You need to rest and repair so you can keep fighting. 2
44 44 301 Watanabe I'm fine. 1
45 45 301 He shakes his head.
46 46 301 Watanabe We're so close. We have to get everyone out safely... that's the only way they don't die in vain. 1
47 47 301 What was intended to be a word of comfort has only made him frown even more.
48 48 301 Chrome Will you go with them? You know City 210 better than us. You'll be a better guide. 2
49 49 301 Watanabe Of course. 1
50 50 301 Watanabe I'll try to bring some of the seriously wounded as well. Leave Shrek and the rest to me. 1
51 51 201 1 500416 -400
52 52 201 2 500417 400
53 53 301 1 Lucia Is anyone also going? The people with light wounds will need Constructs' assistance to travel to safety in nine minutes. 1
54 54 301 Lee Hold on. If the twins realize that the crowd is no longer here, they will change their target, and we'll be looking at even heavier casualties. 2
55 55 202 1 2 1
56 56 201 1 500019
57 57 301 1 Construct 1 No way—our mission is to be the target of the Hetero-Creatures and the twins? 1
58 58 301 No one objected to Chrome's plan two days ago when they had yet to face the barrage of enemies.
59 59 301 But now, most of them just want to leave this grueling frontline.
60 60 201 1 500416 5
61 61 301 1 Lucia We'll meet with Babylonia's Support Force in City 210 and get the prototype weapon. 1
62 62 301 Lucia But to deploy the Omega Prototype, we have to make sure that the enemies are still following us. 1
63 63 301 Lucia It's too dangerous to be at close range with them. I think it's safer to do it on the train. 1
64 64 201 1 500225
65 65 301 1 Changyu Before she passed out last night, Jamilah mentioned that if you're going to use the train for your operation, we'll give Lee access permission. 1
66 66 301 Changyu Of course—she also mentioned that we'd be sending Babylonia a bill for all the damage caused. 1
67 67 201 1 500019
68 68 301 1 Construct 1 ...Fine. 1
69 69 301 The loss suffered in the prior night has everyone deeply traumatized. They are struggling to be optimistic even when they can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

71 71 201 2 500418 400
72 72 301 1 Chrome Perhaps we should let everyone choose. 2
73 73 301 Instead of encouragement, Chrome chooses a different path.
74 74 301 Construct 1 Let everyone choose...? You mean you're letting us decide if we stay or go? 1
75 75 301 Chrome That's right. Please pass the word and ask what everyone thinks. 2
76 76 301 Construct 1 I will. 1
77 77 301 Without delay, the Construct drags his wounded leg further inside the carriage.
78 78 202 1 2 1
79 79 201 1 500419
80 80 301 1 Watanabe I'll help them prepare for the move as well. 1
81 81 201 1 500416 5
82 82 301 1 Lucia Okay. 1
83 83 202 1 1
84 84 301 Watanabe and the Construct Soldier leave the cart.
85 85 201 1 500225
86 86 301 1 Changyu Do you really think that some of them would choose to stay? I say most folks would care more about their own survival. 1
87 87 203 1 0.25 -400
88 88 201 2 500418 400
89 89 301 1 Chrome I do. Neither of the choices guarantees safety. 2
90 90 301 Chrome If we force them on the more dangerous path, their resolve will only waver. 2
91 91 201 1 500417 -400
92 92 301 1 Lee Seems like we have to prepare a backup plan. What do we do if the twins don't follow the train? 1
93 93 201 2 500416 5 400
94 94 301 1 Lucia We'll split up into small teams. The moment they deviate from our planned route, we'll initiate attacks like we did before to catch their attention. 2
95 95 301 Lee It'll be easier to draw the enemies to us if we can provoke some of them. 1
96 96 301 Lucia Right. Let's work out the details. 2
97 97 201 1 500418 -400
98 98 301 1 Chrome I'll guard the people as they go. 1
99 99 201 1 500417 -400
100 100 301 1 Lee I still have an EMP disruptor. After we get the Omega Prototype, we can use the prototype to catch the Corrupted's attention before deploying the disruptor. 1
101 101 301 Lucia Good. 2
102 102 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Lucia We must be ready. This battle will decide the fate of all our lives. 2
