17 17 301 Valeria ...That's what happened in the mission.
18 18 301 Valeria We couldn't capture the invader. We'll take responsibility for failing the mission.

20 20 301 1 Nikola No. Your mission is duly completed. 1
21 21 301 Valeria ?
22 22 301 Nikola You are the failsafe in case the "invader" flops. If he did not manage to finish the mission, you would have been the ones to follow up and retrieve the data. 1
23 23 301 Valeria ...
24 24 301 Yata ...Tch, guess we're the backup after all, huh.
25 25 301 Nikola It's all to ensure the mission succeeds. 1
26 26 301 Valeria ...
27 27 301 Nikola Any other questions? 1
28 28 301 Valeria Who was the target?
29 29 301 Nikola ... 1
30 30 301 Nikola Let's call him an untested friend for now. That's all I can tell you. 1
31 31 301 Valeria Very well. Then that's all.
32 32 301 Nikola Did he say something to you? 1
33 33 301 Valeria ...No.
34 34 301 Nikola ...Noted. 1
35 35 301 Nikola Well then, go on and finish the mission. Retrieve the files. 1
36 36 301 Valeria But we've lost him already, if we have to search for him again...
37 37 301 Nikola You don't have to. He should still be in the archives in the Intelligence Agency. There's a set of terminals that can link to Gestalt. 1
38 38 301 Nikola He should have just disengaged from the immersion. His makeshift terminal should require quite some time to recover from. 1
39 39 301 Nikola You still have time to intercept him. I'll give you the coordinates. 1
40 40 301 Valeria ...Roger.
41 41 301 Nikola Good. No pointless questions. That's what you're best at. 1
42 42 301 Valeria ...Indeed. No questions.
43 43 202 1 1
44 44 301 Without a word, Valeria turns and leaves.
