8 8 302 Why are you guys here? 9
9 9 301 Liv Because Lee and I have been worried sick about you... 1
10 10 301 Lee ... 2
11 11 301 Liv Even though we aren't going on the mission together, we at least wanted to see you and make sure you're alright. 1
12 12 301 She looks you over worriedly.
13 13 301 Liv You look pale. 1
14 14 301 Lucia ...Commandant. 3
15 15 301 Lee ... 2
16 16 302 At least I'm free. 17 I'll get some rest after the mission. 17

18 18 301 After talking with everyone for a short time, Chrome arrives with Strike Hawk.
19 19 301 He gives a simple greeting, then sends the intel he had prepared to your terminal.
20 20 201 1 500309
21 21 301 1 Chrome With regard to the extra mission President Hassen assigned us, I've already prepared the intel and holo-map for the twenty-one target personnel we need to rescue. 1
22 22 301 Chrome In order to expedite their return to Babylonia, I've asked the liaison officer to meet with us at a pre-determined location and time on the Forgotten Streets of City 075. 1
23 23 301 Chrome If there are no further questions, let's get going. 1
24 24 302 Okay. 25
25 25 201 1 500273 1
26 26 301 1 Wanshi ... 1
27 27 302 What is it?
28 28 301 Wanshi I'm just glad you're okay. 1
29 29 301 Wanshi remains quiet as he considers their current predicament.
30 30 202 1 1
31 31 301 Boarding the transport craft, you feel as if you are being monitored.
32 32 301 Turning quietly, you see several personnel occasionally looking up from their work in your direction.
33 33 201 1 500309
34 34 301 1 Chrome ... 1
35 35 202 1 1
36 36 301 Chrome turns to look behind you, sensing their watchful eyes.
37 37 301 Among the crowd, a man wearing a white lab coat grabs his attention.
38 38 301 The man is slouched over like a lonely and weak middle-aged man.
39 39 301 Only those dark golden eyes vaguely remind Chrome of someone he had just met.
40 40 201 1 500303
41 41 301 1 Worker Mr. Kurono, please hurry up. You're going to be late for the meeting. 1
42 42 302 Kurono? 43
43 43 201 1 500026
44 44 301 1 Lee ...Kugawa Kurono. 1
45 45 302 Does he have something to do with Kurono? 46
46 46 301 Lee When I was still a member of Kurono, I accidentally came across his data file. I thought he was on the board of directors, but turns out his name is just a coincidence. 1
47 47 302 Who is he? 48
48 48 301 Lee He's just a doctor who's now working for the Star of Life. But this time, his name "coincidentally" appeared on your inspection reports. 1
49 49 301 Lee But enough of that. You should get going. There's no time to waste. 1
50 50 302 Right. 51

52 52 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Ignoring the unsettling scene behind them, the group turns and boards the transport craft.
54 54 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Riding on the cold afternoon wind, the two transport crafts land in the abandoned ruins of City 075.
55 55 301 Having established contact beforehand, a large group of stranded personnel is waiting at the landing zone. While the other team members go to speak with the stranded Constructs, Camu makes a break for the underground waterway.
56 56 201 1 500273
57 57 301 1 Wanshi Are there any personnel in critical condition? 1
58 58 201 1 500311
59 59 301 1 Female Construct Yes, I've placed everyone on the first floor for the time being. Right this way. 1
60 60 202 1 1
61 61 301 Wanshi nods, then follows her.
62 62 201 1 500309
63 63 301 1 Chrome The other team has arrived. 1
64 64 301 Chrome looks at the notification on his terminal and relays it to the team.
65 65 302 Other team? 66 Right, Hassen mentioned there will be others... 66
66 66 301 Chrome Well, according to the plan, Cerberus will also be participating in cleaning up the Red Tide, but they're acting independent of us. 1
67 67 201 1 500166 5
68 68 301 1 Lucia Cerberus... 1
69 69 201 1 500019

72 72 201 2 1081001 1 -400
73 73 301 1 Kamui I thought so too, but the captain said that saving people was our top priority. 2
74 74 202 1 2 1
75 75 201 1 500166 5
76 76 301 1 Lucia Counting the wounded over there, how many people are gathered here? 1
77 77 201 1 500028
78 78 301 1 Construct Captain Nineteen. Two are still MIA. 1
79 79 301 Construct Captain ... 1
80 80 301 Construct Captain The two missing Constructs... are from my team. 1
81 81 201 1 500309
82 82 301 1 Chrome Do you know which way they ended up going? 1
83 83 201 1 500028
84 84 301 1 Construct Captain They went to an area that was suddenly reported as a high concentration zone. 1
85 85 301 Construct Captain But they were heading there even before we received the warning. 1
86 86 301 Construct Captain We tried to notify them, but we had already lost contact. 1

89 89 301 1 Lucia Return to Babylonia once everyone receives emergency treatment. We'll look for your missing comrades. 2
90 90 301 Construct Captain Let me go with you. They're my comrades, after all. 1
91 91 301 Lucia It's too dangerous. You should head back. 2
92 92 301 Construct Captain They're my comrades. I can't leave my team behind! 1
93 93 301 Construct Captain Our commandant is gone... I can't lose them, too! I'm begging you! 1
94 94 302 Alright. 95 No, it's too dangerous. 99
95 95 202 1 2 1
96 96 201 1 500309
97 97 301 1 Chrome Commandant, the area is dangerous even for us. We're better off ensuring the safety of one more person if we can. 1
98 98 103 301 Chrome We can't risk losing another person. 1
99 99 202 1 2 1
100 100 201 1 500309
101 101 301 1 Chrome I agree with the commandant. 1
102 102 301 Chrome The area is dangerous even for us. We're better off ensuring the safety of one more person if we can. 1

104 104 201 2 500028 400
105 105 301 1 Construct Captain You must be Chrome... I've heard about you. 2
106 106 301 Construct Captain I appreciate your concerns for my safety, but as the captain of your team, I'm sure you understand. 2
107 107 301 Construct Captain If your team members are in danger, would you abandon them for the sake of your own safety? 2
108 108 301 The Construct captain's plea awakens some distant memories in Chrome's heart.
109 109 301 Construct Captain If this is the last time I see them, I'll regret it for the rest of my life! 2
110 110 301 Chrome ...Regret? 1
111 111 301 Construct Captain I may be a soldier, but I'm not the property of Babylonia. 2
112 112 301 Construct Captain At least... Give me the right to decide how I die! 2
113 113 301 Chrome ... 1
114 114 301 Chrome hesitates for a moment.
115 115 301 Chrome I understand your feelings, but as a soldier, you can't disobey mission orders. 1
116 116 301 Chrome If your only mission here is to cooperate with the rescue and return to Babylonia... 1
117 117 301 Chrome By allowing you to accompany us, I'll be aiding in your violation of military orders. 1
118 118 301 Thinking about the sense of surveillance along the way, Chrome casts a sideways glance at the transport craft behind him, hinting to the Construct.
119 119 301 Construct Captain Mission...? Oh, right! There's still one objective! 2
120 120 301 The Construct quickly opens his terminal. On the mission log, one objective is still active.
121 121 301 Construct Captain Our last objective is to search for the commandant... But we still haven't found him. 2
122 122 301 Construct Captain My team and I split up to search for him. 2
123 123 301 Construct Captain But judging from the location of his disappearance and given the time... He probably... 2
124 124 301 Chrome Then continue with your mission. 1
126 126 302 What's your name? 127 (Look down at the personnel data on the terminal.) 131
127 127 202 1 1
128 128 203 2 0.25
129 129 301 Construct Captain My name's Percy. Our two MIA comrades are Ersi and Reyna. 2
130 130 136 202 2 1
131 131 202 1 2 1
132 132 301 Looking at the personnel data gathered by Chrome, you find detailed descriptions of the captain and his comrades.
133 133 301 Captain Name: Percy. Service Time: 4 years. After transferring teams three times, he has served his most recent team the longest.
134 134 301 Member Name: Ersi. Service Time: 2 years, 7 months. Ever since joining the Task Force, he has served the current commandant.
135 135 301 Member Name: Reyna. Service Time: Less than 1 year. No additional data on this new recruit.
136 136 302 Alright. Aside from Percy... 137
137 137 302 Everyone else, board the transport craft. 138
138 138 201 1 500166 5
139 139 301 1 Lucia Wait here, Commandant. I'll help the wounded board the transport craft. 1
140 140 302 Need a hand? 141 Got it. 143
141 141 301 Lucia We've got a difficult mission ahead of us. Considering how long you were monitored, take this time to catch up on some rest. 1
142 142 302 Lucia... 2001
143 2001 204 1 2
144 143 301 Lucia takes out a bottle of nutri-aid and a compressed biscuit.
145 144 301 Lucia When I asked about your condition while you were being monitored, everyone said you were kept well-fed, but I was still worried... So I brought some from our supplies. 1
146 145 302 Thank you. 146 (Take nutri-aid and compressed biscuit) 146 Well-fed... That's one way to put it... 146
147 146 204 1 1
148 147 301 Lucia ... 1
149 148 301 With a bitter smile, Lucia wants to say something, but she is worried about the watchful eyes. Instead, she quietly places the nutri-aid and compressed biscuit into your hands.
150 149 201 1 1081001 1
151 150 301 1 Kamui Alright, let's go help. I bet Wanshi's almost done with emergency treatment. 1
152 151 201 1 500309 1
153 152 301 1 Chrome Okay, let's go. 1
154 153 202 1 1
155 154 301 While everyone else is busy helping the crowd onto the plane, you have a rest until all eighteen Constructs depart as scheduled
156 155 201 1 500166 5
157 156 301 AniZhuanchangBegin 1 Lucia Time to go, Commandant. 1
172 171 301 Noctis grits his teeth and clenches his fists.
173 172 301 Noctis When I get back, I'm gonna blow up those pieces of ****!
174 173 201 1 500168 1
175 174 301 1 Vera Use all that C4 you call a brain and think for a second. Few people would go to the lengths of bugging our support equipment. I bet it was you-know-who's henchmen. 1
176 175 202 1 1
177 176 301 Noctis Pfff... So we can't just get rid of them?
178 177 201 1 500168
179 178 301 1 Vera No need. We're not their target. 1
180 179 301 Vera turns her head, leans over to the camera on Noctis' frame and smiles cheerfully.
181 9853 204 1 14
182 181 301 Vera Isn't that right? 1
183 182 202 1 1
184 183 301 Noctis Then let's get this godforsaken mission over with.
185 184 301 No. 21 We have three objectives.
186 185 201 1 500168
187 186 301 1 Vera First, we need to use these stupid disks to clear the Red Tide, then locate our target. 1
188 187 301 Vera Let's split up and get this over and done with. 1
189 188 202 1 1
190 189 301 No. 21 What about our objective to follow the Gray Raven Commandant as much as possible?
191 190 201 1 500168 1
192 191 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin 1 Vera The key word is "as much as possible." We'll do just that. 1
