5 5 301 DialogEnable Somewhere in the desert, battlefield cleanup is underway in a Forsaken base. Sand and dust cover every inch of ground.

7 7 301 1 Watanabe The third time this month... 1

9 9 301 A dark, long needle-like object protrudes from the ground in the center of the base.
10 10 301 Defeated mechanoids scatter on the ground nearby. They seem to have been corrupted. Fully-armed soldiers are preparing to ship them to the disposal site.

12 12 301 1 Forsaken Soldier Luckily we received a warning beforehand and evacuated this base before the conversion probe landed. 1
13 13 201 1 1101001
14 14 301 1 Watanabe The frequency of attacks from Punishing-corrupted Territory has been increasing recently. We can't always predict them like this one. 1
15 15 201 1 500005
16 16 301 1 Forsaken Soldier ...And all other ground forces across the world are losing their bases too. 1
17 17 301 Forsaken Soldier All because of this "Conversion Probe" launched from areas corrupted by the Punishing Virus. 1
18 18 301 Forsaken Soldier It immediately releases a high-concentration Punishing Virus to control all nearby mechanoids once it lands... 1
19 19 201 1 1101001
20 20 301 1 Watanabe Probes launched from the ground are less of a threat as they usually come from far away. We have depth, so we can still intercept them. 1
21 21 301 Watanabe But... 1
22 22 202 1 1
23 23 301 Watanabe looks up to the sky.
24 24 201 1 1101001
25 25 301 1 Watanabe But those launched from the low Earth orbit are shielded by the orbital debris. They have high velocity and are almost launched vertically above us... 1
26 26 201 1 500005
27 27 301 1 Forsaken Soldier Mr. Watanabe, do you mean the... corrupted International Space Station...? 1
28 28 201 1 1101001
29 29 301 1 Watanabe Yeah. 1
30 30 201 1 500005
31 31 301 1 Forsaken Soldier It's probably been giving Babylonia a hard time too. 1
32 32 201 1 1101001
33 33 301 1 Watanabe Yeah. From our optical observation alone, they have been firing at each other more than ever... 1
34 34 301 Watanabe Not just that, Babylonia also pulled back most of their elite ground forces. 1
35 35 301 Watanabe Including that Gray Raven squad... They have all been summoned back to reinforce their space forces. 1
36 36 201 1 500005
37 37 301 1 Forsaken Soldier Mr. Watanabe, are you implying... 1
38 38 201 1 1101001
39 39 301 1 Watanabe Right. Our intel shows that Babylonia has decided to eliminate the corrupted space station once and for all. 1
40 40 201 1 500005
41 41 301 1 Forsaken Soldier Wow... Can they really do it? Going against that thing... 1
42 42 201 1 1101001
43 43 301 1 Watanabe I know what you're thinking. For a long time, they could only wear down the space station by attrition. 1
44 44 201 1 500005
45 45 301 1 Forsaken Soldier Probably because there aren't many experienced "Fenrir" pilots left in Babylonia. 1
46 46 301 Forsaken Soldier Ever since the Great Retreat, most good pilots in Babylonia have come to Mr. Watanabe. 1
47 47 201 1 1101001
48 48 301 1 Watanabe ………… 1
49 49 301 Watanabe From a strategic point of view, Babylonia would never start the war if they didn't have a decisive winning factor. 1
50 50 301 Watanabe They must be hiding some secret we don't know. 1
51 51 201 1 500005
52 52 301 1 Forsaken Soldier Are you saying... 1
53 53 201 1 1101001
54 54 301 1 Watanabe From our past simulations... Once the threat and communication interference from the space station are reduced... 1
55 55 301 Watanabe The world will start to change. 1
56 56 301 Watanabe So this war will likely determine the future direction of the world. 1
57 57 201 1 500005
58 58 301 1 Forsaken Soldier If that's the case... 1
59 59 201 1 1101001
60 60 301 1 Watanabe Right. The Forsakens must be part of this. 1
61 61 301 Watanabe We have long prepared for it— 1
62 62 301 Watanabe Forsakens, assemble! 1

68 68 202 1 2 3 1
69 69 201 1 1101001
70 70 301 1 Watanabe Follow the protocol—disable all concealments of the base, and try to establish a communication channel with Babylonia! 1
71 71 301 Watanabe Activate all defense systems in the base and open two-thirds of our hangers. You have three hours to complete pre-flight checks... 1
72 72 301 Watanabe ...Transfer surface authority to the standby operation officers in the ground mission control center. 1
73 73 201 1 500005
74 74 301 1 Forsaken Soldier Sir, are you going to... 1
75 75 201 1 1101001
76 76 301 1 Watanabe I'm still the leader of the Forsaken on paper. Now's not the time to be capricious. 1
77 77 301 Watanabe This arrangement doesn't mean we're compromising or cooperating. I'll get us the leverages we deserve. 1
78 78 201 1 500005
