7 7 301 Vera But it's got nothing to do with our mission, so let's stick to the target coordinates. 1
8 8 301 Noctis But surely a sign that obvious is trying to catch our attention? 3
9 9 301 Vera You just wanna make a fuss, don't you? 1
10 10 301 Noctis There are four of us here. I don't see why we can't just split the party and let me go after whoever left the graffiti... 3
11 11 302 He's not wrong. 12 Let's focus on the mission for now. 12
12 12 301 Noctis reaches out and touches the words, and the paint stains his finger red.
13 13 301 Noctis This is still fresh. Maybe it's from the Ascendant we've been looking for? 3
14 14 302 That's not her style. 15
15 15 301 Vera You know Ascendants pretty well, don't you? 1
16 16 301 Vera says impassively, and you are not sure if she is simply stating a fact or teasing you.
17 17 301 DialogDisable Vera Fine—that means we've got a third party involved. What do you think we should do next? 1
18 18 302 We can't call off the mission... 19
19 19 302 But we shouldn't let go of such a glaring trail either. 20
20 20 301 DialogEnable DialogDisable Vera So? 1
21 21 302 Send one person to investigate the coordinates with me. 22
22 22 302 The other two will look for our "mystery guest." 23
23 23 301 DialogEnable Vera Well, we can't leave Noctis and 21 by themselves. Neither of them is good at tracking, per se. 1
24 24 301 Vera It's obvious, then—let's split up. We'll each take one of them and track our targets while staying in contact. Say, we meet again in an hour? 1
25 25 302 Agreed. 26
26 26 301 Vera Alright, who's with me— 1

31 31 301 1 No. 21 & Noctis Me. 2 3
32 32 204 1 1
33 33 301 Vera ...That won't do. Someone has to babysit the commandant. 1
34 34 301 Noctis Don't keep me from hunting ghosts! 21 is great, Gray Raven Commandant! You should totally team up with her. 3
35 35 301 No. 21 ... 2
36 36 301 Vera What do you say, Commandant? 1
37 37 302 I'll take Noctis with me. 38 I'll take No. 21 with me. 39
38 38 40 301 Noctis (Laughs) I refuse. 3
39 39 301 Vera (Nods) Consider your opinion ignored. I didn't say I care about what you think, did I? 1
40 40 302 ... 41
41 41 204 1
42 42 301 Vera Well, that's enough teasing you for now. I don't think either of them will follow your orders, but it's not like we have options right now. 1
43 43 204 1 1
44 44 301 Vera So... 21, you'll stay here with the commandant and investigate the coordinates. 1
45 45 301 Vera's smile makes you think that something is afoot here.
46 46 301 No. 21 ... 2
47 47 301 No. 21 ...Understood. 2
48 48 301 Noctis Right! Let's get going! I'll snoop around that area first, yeah? 3
49 49 202 1 2 3 1
50 50 301 Noctis bounces off as if he has springs under his feet, and he dashes away.

53 53 301 1 Vera Let's take the opportunity to switch the remote connection target. 1

55 953 203 2 0.25
56 54 301 No. 21 ... 2
57 55 301 No. 21 has not voiced her objection, but the Co-Bot beside her starts twirling, agitated, its reluctance plain as day.
58 56 302 No. 21, I'm going to connect with you now. 57
59 57 301 No. 21 Capt. already said it. 2
60 58 302 It might be a little turbulent. 59
61 59 301 No. 21 ... 2
62 60 302 Let me know when you're ready? 61
63 61 301 She falls silent again.
64 62 301 No. 21 ...Don't question. 2
65 63 301 No. 21 Capt. arranged it. I accepted it. I don't question. 2
66 64 302 ...Alright. 65
67 65 301 No. 21 is acting very uneasily, seemingly uncomfortable with the fact that someone is asking about her feelings. But this will have to do now.

70 68 301 Adjustment Operator Hold on.
71 69 301 Rebecca's voice appears in your comms.
72 70 301 DialogDisable Rebecca Is that necessary, Gray Raven Commandant?
73 71 302 It is. 72
74 72 302 We've encountered a third party in the town. 73
75 73 301 DialogEnable Rebecca A third party... Fine. But I must stress that connecting with No. 21 might trigger unexpected risks.
76 74 302 It's our best option for now. 75 It's riskier to let our mystery person go. 75
77 75 301 Rebecca We haven't found any trace of this third party, and we're going to investigate at the same time. Meanwhile, we'll do as you say. I'll try to stay out of your way unless absolutely necessary.
78 76 301 Rebecca ...But I'd like to remind you of your objective here. I'll disconnect you with No. 21 if any accident occurs.
79 77 302 I understand. 78
80 78 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Rebecca Good luck, Commandant.
84 82 301 RImgBg1Shake AniZhuanchangBegin As you expected, the connection with No. 21 is far from smooth sailing. You have to make some effort to calm her M.I.N.D. from rejecting your consciousness.
86 84 301 AniZhuanchangEnd When you open your eyes again, you are looking from No. 21's perspective and find Vera smiling and waving at you.
87 85 201 1 500168 1
88 86 301 1 Vera Okay, then—I'll leave you to 21. She's a good kid. Take care of her. 1

90 88 401 2 885
91 89 301 Noctis Surprise! Look what I've found!
92 90 301 A speeding police car stops before you, and Noctis pokes his head out from the rolled-down window wearing a pair of sunglasses he has found, whistling loudly.
93 91 201 1 500168 -450
94 92 201 2 500336 450
95 93 301 1 Noctis There's a precinct nearby with a bunch of these babies parked outside. 2
96 94 301 Vera Nope. 1
97 95 204 2 4
98 96 301 Noctis C'mon, I checked! It might look scrappy, but the frame is still intact, and the engine still works... 2
99 97 301 Vera Unless I get to drive, I'll never sit inside a vehicle with you behind the wheel. Do you understand me? 1
100 98 301 Noctis Fine, I'm not as petty as you. I trust your driving skill... It can't be as terrible as 21's, can it? 2
101 99 202 1 2 1

106 104 301 Vera opens the door and hops on the driver's seat before slamming the door shut. With an arm resting on the rolled-down window, she waves at you.
107 105 201 1 500168 13
108 106 301 1 Vera Commandant—enjoy the thrill as a Cerberus! 1
109 107 201 1 500328
110 108 301 1 No. 21 ... 1
111 109 401 2 885
112 110 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin The police car speeds away, leaving No. 21 and her Co-Bot behind.
