3 3 301 DialogEnable The emergency brake has stopped the platform in the middle of the elevator shaft. The two of you sit down, leaning in a corner.
4 4 301 Luckily, your comms is still working. Reporting your situation to the supervisor, you are told that rescue will arrive soon.
5 5 301 With nothing else to do, you can only wait. Karenina, meanwhile, keeps staring at the CPF blueprint, mumbling to her as if investigating the cause of the malfunction.

7 7 301 1 Karenina ****! How could I miss such a small problem? 1
8 8 302 Calm down, Karenina. 9
9 9 301 Even for a Construct, continuously operating in such high intensity like Karenina has been could have long overloaded her M.I.N.D. Not to mention that her sleeping pod was given to the children in the conservation area.
10 10 302 You've been working too hard. 11 It's okay slow down. 11
11 11 204 1 4
12 12 301 Karenina Have you seen those people? 1
13 13 301 Karenina They survived the Punishing Virus. They even survived the Red Tide and the Hetero-Creatures. But their lives are in danger once again because reconstruction is halted and resources are scarce! 1
14 14 301 Karenina No matter how many Corrupted and monsters we kill... 1
15 15 204 1 5
16 16 401 2 1512
17 17 301 Clenching her teeth, Karenina smashes the fence by her side.
18 18 301 Karenina Even after we saved them... we still can't stop them from dying! How can I accept that?! 1
19 19 204 1 4
20 20 301 Karenina ...All I can do is speed up the reconstruction so that everyone has a place to call home. 1
23 23 301 She lowers her head with her arms around her knees, her voice getting quieter.
24 24 302 But your M.I.N.D. is taking more and more stress... 25
25 25 301 Karenina It's because I'm still not strong enough... 1
26 26 301 Karenina My methods are always aggressive... be it in a fight or research. I don't think my decision was wrong! To all of us, every minute counts. 1
27 27 301 Karenina I know there's a danger to everything I've chosen to do, so I used to think that no one else would get hurt even if I messed up as long as I was by myself. 1
28 28 301 Karenina But that's not true... Because of all the responsibilities I've taken, the consequences of my choices no longer affect me alone. 1
29 29 301 Karenina I keep worrying if I did the right thing... if I've brought misfortune to others... if my choices have hurt the people that matter. 1
30 30 302 Karenina... 31
31 31 301 Karenina ...It's lame, isn't it? How unlike me to think like this. 1
32 32 302 It isn't. 33
33 33 302 I feel like that sometimes. 34 I understand how you feel. 34
34 34 301 Karenina You? Stop joking... You're more reckless than me... 1
35 35 301 Your voice is soft and calm. Karenina mumbles, her apparent exhaustion becoming more evident.
36 36 302 I'm worried too. 37 I'm afraid too. 37
37 37 202 1 1
38 38 301 You worry if your strategy is the right one. You fear that the people you care about will get hurt because of you.
39 39 301 DialogDisable Making choices means accepting the consequences. And Karenina has never run away from hers.
40 40 302 So, whether as an engineer or a warrior... 41
41 41 302 To me, you have always been incredibly strong. 42
42 42 302 ... 43
43 43 302 Karenina? 44
44 44 301 DialogEnable You do not hear Karenina responding. Suddenly, you feel something heavy on your shoulder. Something fluffy is leaning on you.
45 45 301 You turn to find Karenina's eyes closed. Breathing calmly, she has already entered a short-term rest.
46 46 302 (She's indeed exhausted...) 47
47 47 301 You slightly move her shoulders to make sure she sleeps in a more comfortable position.
48 48 301 AniZhuanchangBegin She can take a break before the rescue arrives.
49 49 401 1 36
50 50 401 2 1515
51 51 301 AniZhuanchangEnd You have no idea how much time has passed when you suddenly hear a notification on your comms.
52 52 401 1 208
53 53 301 Engineer Captain! Commandant! Are you alright?
54 54 302 Karenina, wake up. 55
55 55 201 1 500494 8 -150
56 56 301 1 Karenina Huh... huh? Why am I... 1
57 57 203 1 0.2
58 58 301 Noticing that she is almost completely leaning against you, Karenina immediately awakes from her sleep and springs to her feet.
59 59 204 1 13
60 60 302 I think our rescue has arrived. 61
61 61 301 You point at the screen on your terminal. An Engineering Force member is currently tinkering next to the monitors of the elevator surveillance.
67 67 301 1 Engineer Wasn't expecting you to remember me, Captain... 13
68 68 301 Karenina ...Whatever! How's it looking? Can you fix it? 1
69 69 301 Engineer It's nothing major. Leave it to me! 13
70 70 401 1 205
71 71 301 Teddy ...I can't believe I get to witness our glorious captain Karenina trapping herself inside an elevator shaft.
72 72 301 Another voice appears in your comms.
73 73 301 Karenina ...Why are you here as well? Shouldn't you be in Babylonia? 1
74 74 301 You are not sure if you are imagining things, but you feel like Karenina sounded a little disgruntled there.
75 75 301 Engineer Uh... The vice-captain was updating me shortly after I arrived at the conservation area when the supervisor came and told us that our captain had been trapped inside the CPF and required our help. 13
76 76 301 Engineer The vice-captain is very concerned about your situation and asked me to keep the call connected. 13
77 77 301 Teddy I wasn't concerned. I just didn't want to miss any moment she made a fool of herself.
78 78 204 1 5
79 79 301 RImgBg1Shake Karenina T-E-D-D-Y! 1
80 80 301 Karenina jumps up, her Inver-Devices standing with a swoosh. Clenching her fists, she would have lifted Teddy by his collar were he in the same room. She is so forceful that the elevator seems to shake from her movement.
81 81 302 Calm down! Karenina! 82 Wait! The elevator is shaking! 82
82 82 204 1 4
83 83 301 Teddy Lovely to see you so sprightly.
84 84 301 Teddy Still, I recommend getting some good sleep. You looked like an idiot snoozing all over the Gray Raven Commandant.
85 85 401 2 2566
86 86 301 You hear the sound of the call ending on your terminal. Teddy just barely missed the raging scream from Karenina.
87 87 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Engineer Hahaha... Captain, Commandant, I'm about to connect the transistor manually. Stay away from the door. 13
95 95 301 The two of you exit the CPF to find the supervisor and the residents from the conservation area waiting outside. They all look concerned.
96 96 302 Why are there so many people here... 97
97 97 301 Supervisor People were worried... Fortunately, it was nothing serious. 1
98 98 302 The rescue arrived just in time. 99 Our colleagues are reliable. 99
99 99 301 Supervisor That's good... 1
100 100 201 1 500361
101 101 301 1 Engineer Captain, we came here as soon as the problems with the base to the west were fixed. The materials from Babylonia are arriving tomorrow, so the reconstruction team can finally start! 1
102 102 301 Engineer I've also confirmed that the CPF is running again. It will return to its normal output in about two hours. 1
103 103 201 1 500494 12
104 104 301 1 Karenina Good. Remember to check the other arrays. There was something wrong with the numbers on arrays 03 and 06 in Sector C... 1
105 105 302 Karenina. 106
106 106 301 Karenina What? 1
107 107 302 Take a break. 108
108 108 204 1 4
109 109 301 Karenina I know! Stop buzzing like a bee! 1
110 110 201 1 500361
111 111 301 1 Engineer Yeah, Captain, leave this to us. We'll make sure it gets done. 1
112 112 201 1 500494 12
113 113 301 1 Karenina Alright. And the maintenance on the filter cartridges... 1
114 114 302 Do you want to enter rest mode right next to the filters? 115
115 115 301 Karenina I... 1
116 116 302 At least, just for a moment... 117
117 117 302 Rely on others. 118
118 118 204 1 13
119 119 301 Karenina ... 1
120 120 204 1 1
121 121 301 Karenina You win... Fine. I know. 1
122 122 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Karenina I'll leave it to you guys. 1
