3 3 301 DialogEnable It has been 15 days since the transport craft vanished into the sky.
4 4 301 Time is a pot that brews misery from the hunger and pain of those who have remained on the surface.
5 5 301 After the twins were hurt, they have since changed their course, heading north once again. This time, they are approaching from the plains on the east.
6 6 301 With the south returning to momentary peace, many without shelter have started gathering at the underground base of City 047.
7 7 301 Even with the many resources stored there, they will run out one day.
8 8 301 Having been informed about the presence of the barrage of Hetero-Creatures, most people want to depart the area to avoid exhausting the resources. Still, they are apprehensive about the regions without Constructs.
9 9 301 While everyone is at a loss, Gray Raven coordinates with the other elite squads and has Strike Hawk and Cerberus meet up with them in City 047, as the two teams switch their posts with other Constructs who have stayed behind.

13 13 301 1 Although they have not seen each other for a while, most of the three squads are in no mood to catch up, save a quick confirmation of each member's status and conditions. 1 2 3
14 14 301 Given the situation they are in, they can tell what each other has been through without needing to say anything.

16 16 301 Still, one person has remained blissfully cheerful.

20 20 301 1 Kamui Hiya, two of the three Gray Ravens! How are you both doing? 2
21 21 301 Lee Are you here to say that you've been doing fine? 3
22 22 301 Kamui Haha! Shouldn't I be fine when I see my buddies alive and well? 2
23 23 204 3 10
24 24 301 Lee ... 3
25 25 301 Who knows why Lee stops answering Kamui.

27 27 301 The day after the catastrophe, Strike Hawk and Cerberus were both assigned missions to escort the transport crafts traveling between the surface and Babylonia.
28 28 301 In the beginning, the rate of successful rescues was high, with the elite squads leading the charge.
29 29 301 But even they could not withstand the many attacks mid-flight. Although they managed to protect the personnel, they could not save the transport craft from crashing to the ground.
30 30 301 They tried multiple times with little to no results, and so their escort missions turned into rescue missions on the surface.
31 31 301 At least the Constructs remaining here are safe, as well as Liv, who managed to return to Babylonia. That is all they can ask for.

34 34 301 1 Vera There's no time to waste. Let's assign the upcoming missions. 1
35 35 301 Chrome Understood. 2
36 36 202 1 2 1
37 37 301 Having checked everyone's status, the three captains assign the 687 people in City 047 into 8 platoons according to their expertise.
38 38 301 Each member of Gray Raven, Cerberus, and Strike Hawk will form a new squad with two other Constructs who have stayed behind, each squad leading a platoon to head for the different conservation areas.
39 39 301 In smaller groups, they are more capable of handling unexpected situations while reducing conflicts for scarce resources. If worst comes to worst, the loss will be minimal.
40 40 301 With everyone's agreement, people begin to collect their belongings before waiting outside the base, ready to follow the Constructs and leave.

42 42 301 1 Noctis Hold on. 1
43 43 301 Noctis suddenly stops everyone from proceeding, pointing at Camu, who is standing 800 meters away, reachable only through comms.
44 44 301 Noctis Seems like one of us hasn't been assigned his duty yet. 1

47 47 301 1 Chrome My apologies for not explaining earlier. Because of Camu's unique quality, he is not able to work with others by himself. He will be following Wanshi in the upcoming mission. 2
48 48 301 Chrome There are more wounded in Wanshi's platoon. He would've been too occupied with them to fight. 2
49 49 301 Chrome Camu won't enter the base. He'll be patrolling outside. 2
57 57 301 1 Noctis This guy... Once they complete the what-mega weapon, he'll be able to get rid of his "unique quality," won't he? 1
58 58 301 Chrome About that, we did talk to Camu when we received the notice. 2
59 59 301 Chrome Even if the Omega Weapon is really capable of that, he has no wish to change who he is right now. Not to mention that there are still a lot of uncertainties regarding the weapon's power. 2
60 60 204 1
61 61 301 Noctis Huh? Does he enjoy being excluded? 1
162 162 301 Kamui We can't just ignore them, Capt.! 1
163 163 301 Chrome You're right. Now's not the time to hold grudges. 2

167 167 301 1 Lee Let's rearrange the groups. 1
168 168 301 Lucia Lee and I will take the three Constructs from our squad to the station in City 043. The refugees in our platoon will have to count on you guys. 2

171 171 301 1 Chrome It's too dangerous if there're only the two of you. Please let me come along. 1

174 174 301 1 Lucia But... No, I suppose you're right. 2
175 175 301 Lucia Although we don't know what Watanabe's situation is for certain, he did mention they're "still being followed." 2
176 176 301 Lucia That's not a good sign. The twins were after us once, and we couldn't put any distance between us with speed alone. 2
177 177 301 Lucia We've already spent the only thing that could get rid of them. We can't count on luck this time, not anymore. We need to be prepared to fight. 2
178 178 201 2 1081001 -400
179 179 301 1 Kamui Let me come with you as well! 2
180 180 301 Chrome There are too many refugees here. The three of us leaving with our squad is the most they can afford. 1
181 181 301 Chrome Although I can't let you come with us, can the 90 people in my platoon count on you? 1
182 182 204 2 2
183 183 301 Kamui Of course! As long as I can ease your burdens a bit. 2

186 186 301 1 Lucia Given how many injured are in the doctor's platoon, ours will have to count on the two of you. 1
