4 4 301 Broadcast Mother Goose-7 reporting in. T-minus ten minutes until arrival.
5 5 301 The confines of the transport craft afford little recreation. No snacks. No one shooting the breeze while awaiting landfall. No one laughing or smiling as they disembark to meet the enemy's fire.
6 6 301 All that the crew can do is remain in their seats, ensure that equipment and weapons are operational, and review mission details in preparation for immediate engagement upon landing on the surface.
7 7 301 The crew needs to be ready at all times for immediate evacuation up making a forced landing—a commonplace in the war against the Corrupted. After all, machines are different from humans. Their attack patterns seem illogical and confounding.

9 9 301 AniZhuanchangBegin After another round of equipment inspection, the crew opens their terminals and reads the mission log seemingly countless times.
15 15 301 AniZhuanchangEnd 1 Hassen Battle intel has been uploaded to your terminals. 1
16 16 301 Hassen War waits for no one. That's why we've dispatched multiple elite squads. 1
17 17 301 Hassen pauses a moment and looks at the commandants before stopping his gaze on 【kuroname】.
18 18 301 Hassen For many of you, this will be your first time conducting a large-scale operation. There may be pressure, but this is a great honor. All of you have proved your ability on previous independent missions. 1
19 19 301 Hassen Exceptional combat capability is bound to be important, but what is needed in this battle is to command the overall situation without fail. 1
20 20 301 Hassen Therefore, we have specially arranged a commandant as the chief commander of this campaign. 1
21 21 301 Hassen The chief commander has led her team to the surface to clear the way for auxiliary teams. 1
22 22 301 Hassen This battle will demonstrate the effectiveness of coordinated tactics between commandants and Constructs, significantly increasing recognition in this era of retaliation. 1
23 23 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Hassen I hope you will keep this in mind and not fail. 1
28 28 301 AniZhuanchangEnd 1 Broadcast By the way, President Hassen specifically told me to remind everyone...
29 29 301 Broadcast "You're still in the early days of team-building. Many people are watching. Make us proud."
30 30 301 Broadcast "But this will also be the first time Gray Raven will be participating in a large-scale operation. Do your best."

32 32 301 As a flurry of footsteps plays on the broadcast, you look up to see Lee suddenly appear at the hatch of the transport cabin.

34 34 301 1 Lee Why the long face? 1
35 35 302 Are you worried about me? 36 I'm just thinking about the mission. 38
36 36 301 Lee I'm running a status check on the crew prior to the mission. 1
37 37 302 What about them? 44
38 38 301 Lee Looks like rumors of your vigilance are correct. 1
39 39 302 Am I under investigation? 40 Rumors? 42
40 40 301 Lee Don't worry, just an old habit. 1
41 41 302 ...What about them? 44
42 42 301 Lee Don't worry, it's nothing negative. 1
43 43 302 ...What about them? 44
44 44 301 Lee They're syncing up with their new frames. 1
45 45 301 Lee Initialization should be complete before we make landfall. 1
46 46 301 Lee Actually, "new" isn't exactly apropos. 1
47 47 301 Lee After all, one has been used previously, and the other is a prototype. 1
48 48 301 Lee By this definition, they aren't exactly "new." 1
49 49 302 Choosing your words wisely as always, I see. 50 That's alright. 53
50 50 301 Lee Save the jokes. 1
51 51 302 I was being serious. 52
52 52 54 301 Lee Really? You reminded me of a certain detestable woman. 1
53 53 301 Lee You sound like that detestable woman from Kurono. 1
54 54 301 Lee Anyway, is that the mission briefing you're holding? 1
55 55 302 Why? 56
56 56 301 Lee Hmm... Looks like commandants receive about as much intel as us Constructs. 1
57 57 301 Lee No matter. Seems like they are keeping a tight seal on intel. 1
58 58 301 Lee They don't even want to divulge any more clues regarding the target city to those involved. 1
59 59 302 We just have to follow orders. 60
60 60 204 1 10
61 61 301 Lee Hmph, you're right. Just like in Kurono. 1

65 65 301 The transport cabin's hatch slowly opens as two familiar figures enter.

70 70 301 1 Lee No matter. Your arrival is within my estimates. 1
71 71 302 How is the frame? 72
72 72 301 Lucia Performing as anticipated. In fact, "Dawn" seems more optimized than "Lotus". 2
73 73 301 Lee Is this new technology from the Science Council...? The prototype's operating at a 40 percent higher power output than the original frame. 1
74 74 301 Lee I see... The joints are constructed out of composite material. If this material is used for modifying the weapons... 1

81 80 301 Lee Ahem... 1
82 81 204 1
83 82 301 Lee However, it appears that a lot of the technology is still in early development. They must be running a field test to collect data for further enhancements. 1
84 84 301 Lucia Then I'll perform my duties to obtain the most accurate data. 2
85 85 302 Can't wait to see you in action. 86
86 86 301 Lucia Me too. I look forward to the day when "Dawn" is complete, and I pilot it for the first time. 2
87 87 302 Liv? 90
88 90 301 Liv Everything's fine... I've used this frame before, so there aren't any issues with synchronization. 3
89 91 301 Lucia Why did you stop using it after joining Gray Raven? 2
