7 7 301 1 Chrome Must be the Corrupted self-exploding. But it doesn't seem to be doing much to the Kowloong walls. 2
8 8 301 The sounds of explosions are even reaching Strike Hawk's position. Tasked with defense, and not vanguard duty, the two can only stay put and be on standby.

11 11 301 1 Vera If their doors are so flimsy, those shut-ins wouldn't be so arrogant as to turn down our help. 1
12 12 301 The other squad dispatched here, Cerberus, arrives. Yet, only one member could be seen. She strolls unhurriedly toward the two Strike Hawk agents, as if the ongoing war does not concern her in the slightest.

15 15 301 1 Chrome We've been waiting for you, Cerberus. What was the hold up? 2
16 16 301 Vera Oh, Chrome, good "Kapitan"... Do I really have to answer that question? 1
17 17 301 Chrome Redeployment orders are supposed to be executed without delay... Hold on a sec, where are your other two members? They're supposed to be here with you. 2
18 18 301 Vera's two teammates are nowhere to be seen, but Chrome's well-grounded observation does nothing to the devil-may-care smile on Vera's face.
19 19 301 Noctis 'Course we know about the "rules!" You got a problem with us not following 'em? Then why don't we duke it out here, eh, yes-man?
20 20 301 Chrome Why are you on comms? Are you nearby? 2
21 21 301 Vera You aren't even here. I'll do the duking if you really feel the need for it. 1
22 22 301 Noctis Oh, hey, I read about you, big stick guy. Another dude's living inside ya, aye? And you smell positively deee-lectable. Interesting, makes me wanna...
23 23 301 Vera Don't even. For the last time—Don't. Leave. Your. Post. 1
24 24 301 Noctis Tch...
25 25 301 Chrome What post? You have another mission? 2
26 26 301 Vera Mh-hm, maybe yes, maybe no. Given the situation, having all three of us here is quite pointless anyway. 1

31 31 301 Before Strike Hawk can continue prodding at Cerberus' recklessness, another quake draws everyone's attention to the sky.
32 32 301 No. 21 Enemy incoming. Above.

36 36 301 Following the warning from the comms, a swarm of jet-boosted Corrupted fly into the city. Some of them land where the two squads are.

42 42 301 Looking at these black Corrupted, Kamui is reminded of those Heteromers he and his team saw back in space. Chrome's nod confirms his guess.
