The sea of yellow sand in front of you has not changed apart from the cooling weather. 5 5 302 How far have I traveled in this desert... 6 6 6 301 Your vehicle raises a fog of dust as it glides through the desert, and the sand dispersed in the air like a fleeting cloud. 7 7 301 Today is New Year's Eve. Despite having no notion of festivities, you still feel odd traveling alone on this day. 8 8 301 System Incoming transmission— 9 9 201 1 500001 10 10 501 Assets/Product/Effect/Prefab/FxUi/FxUiStoryNew/FxUiStoryTongxunHalfNew.prefab 1 11 11 301 1 Celica Hello? Don't tell me you've fallen asleep, 【kuroname】? Our tracking suggested that you've entered the safe area, but you should keep an eye out nonetheless. 1 12 12 302 I'm awake. 13 Keep an eye out? 13 13 13 301 Celica I know we're working with the Forsaken for now, but you can never tell what sort of accidents could happen down there. Just be careful. 1 14 14 302 I will. Don't worry. 15 15 15 301 Celica Good to hear that. After all, the Gray Ravens aren't by your side this time, and they're all worried sick... 1 16 16 302 Let them know I'm safe and sound, will you? 17 17 17 301 Celica I will. Make sure to keep your comms open and keep tabs on the cruise control. You're about two kilometers from the meeting point. Safe travels! 1 18 18 202 1 19 19 505 Assets/Product/Effect/Prefab/FxUi/FxUiStoryNew/FxUiStoryTongxunHalfNew.prefab 1 20 20 301 As Celica's message ends, you are immediately connected with the Forsaken. 21 21 301 It follows so swiftly that you cannot help but wonder if they have been trying to call you when Celica was occupying the line. 22 22 201 1 1101001 23 23 501 Assets/Product/Effect/Prefab/FxUi/FxUiStoryNew/FxUiStoryTongxunHalfNew.prefab 1 24 24 301 1 Watanabe You're in Forsaken territory now, 【kuroname】. Maintain your speed. Our envoy will be meeting you at your nine o'clock. 1 25 25 301 Watanabe Keep to yourself. We don't need no attention. 1 26 26 202 1 27 27 505 Assets/Product/Effect/Prefab/FxUi/FxUiStoryNew/FxUiStoryTongxunHalfNew.prefab 1 28 28 301 You see a layer of white mist fogging up the window of the cockpit. The setting sun lingers on the golden horizon, and everything seems within reach. 29 29 301 The visible heatwave rises from the sand, distorting and refracting light, and you can see the dunes transforming into a pot of molten gold. 30 30 301 Your transport slowly enters the designated area. You can see the paved path ahead of you as your vehicle gradually stops bumping. 31 31 301 The Forsaken soldiers stop your ride under Watanabe's lead. 32 32 301 You have yet to enter the campsite proper, unlike what you were expecting. You can tell it is still quite a distance away just from the view on your ride. 33 33 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Uncertain about the current situation, you recall what Celica mentioned and prepare for any unforeseen arrangement. 34 34 101 Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/BgStory26.jpg 35 35 201 1 1101001 36 36 301 AniZhuanchangEnd 1 Watanabe You're 47 minutes and 6 seconds late. 1 37 37 302 Have you been waiting here? 38 The journey here took a while... 39 38 38 40 301 Watanabe Consider this part of my "goodwill." I did promise to guarantee your safety. 1 39 39 301 Watanabe Not surprising. It's a rough neighborhood. 1 40 40 301 Watanabe Sorry for not informing you beforehand, but we'll need you to stop here. 1 41 41 301 Watanabe For the sake of both of our sides, I can't allow a Babylonia vessel to enter our camp directly. It's an inconvenient time—you'll understand once you arrive. 1 42 42 301 Watanabe But you don't have to worry. No harm will come to you. The Forsaken does not forget the people who fought by our side. 1 43 43 302 I understand. 44 44 44 301 Watanabe nods and gestures to the soldiers around him, and a senior-looking guard walks up with a detection device. 45 45 203 1 0.25 400 46 46 201 2 500005 -400 47 47 301 1 Guard Leader Pardon me. Please raise your arms— 2 48 48 301 Your pistol, as well as your emergency fire starter kit, are both confiscated. 49 49 301 Guard Leader My apologies. No fire-starting items are allowed in the camp, and... what is this? 2 50 50 302 A water bottle... obviously? 51 51 51 301 Guard Leader Would you mind taking a sip in front of us now? If it's alcohol... 2 52 52 301 Watanabe Enough, no need to be so thorough. Babylonia's not gonna allow a commandant to drink on the job, and this one doesn't seem like the rule-breaking kind. 1 53 53 301 Watanabe Have you notified the folks in the camp? 1 54 54 301 Guard Leader We did. Although we do recognize the Gray Raven Commandant, there have been many newcomers in the camp... 2 55 55 302 Newcomers? 56 56 56 202 1 2 1 57 57 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Watanabe does not answer you. He turns and signals everyone to follow him to the Forsaken base. 58 58 101 Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/BgStory31.jpg 59 59 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Unlike the calm and quiet campsite you remembered, the one you are seeing is bustling— 60 60 301 The military tents by the road have turned into various stalls, where the Forsaken members trade and exchange rare items and supplies. 61 61 301 More surprisingly, you notice a large group of children running by the Forsaken headquarter, giggling. 62 62 401 1 205 63 63 201 1 500005 64 64 301 1 Guard Leader Hey, kids! Stop running around in here! You're going to bring down the tent! 1 65 65 301 The children turn to make a funny face at the guard leader before disappearing into the crowd with a louder wave of laughter. 66 66 302 6687 Who are they? 69 There are kids here! 70 67 67 201 1 1101001 1 68 68 303 6687 69 69 71 301 1 Watanabe Children of the Forsaken. 1 70 70 301 1 Watanabe Don't be so surprised. This isn't our only camp, and we... are not the only ones forsaken. 1 71 71 301 Watanabe We built a small shelter to the east of here after what happened with the ARU. The kids and the newcomers are staying there. 1 72 72 301 Watanabe They should be the actual hope for the future... We couldn't abandon them. 1 73 73 302 That's why you were searching me so thoroughly... 74 74 74 202 1 1 75 75 301 Watanabe stops, giving a soldier that is sorting supplies some kind of order. 76 76 201 1 500172 77 77 301 1 Zong Mr. Watanabe! I'm sorry, the sorting is still ongoing. You might want to take this... 1 78 78 203 1 0.25 400 79 79 201 2 1101001 -400 80 80 301 1 Watanabe ...Supplier. A supplier for now. 2 81 81 301 Zong I see! You might want to take this... "supplier" elsewhere first? 1 82 82 301 Zong And don't forget to answer your comms, Mr. Watanabe. You're about to be late for the call with the blue gentleman. 1 83 83 301 Watanabe You don't have to remind me. I'll reply after this—and we aren't the ones who are late, to begin with. 2 84 84 202 1 2 1 85 85 301 The children who entered the campsite earlier are still hanging around. They shoot a glance at your side every once in a while, and Watanabe waves back with a warm, friendly smile, unlike his usual solemn self. 86 86 301 But when he turns back at you, he looks exactly as he was. 87 87 201 1 1101001 88 88 301 1 Watanabe Cough... 【kuroname】, let's talk business. 1 89 89 301 Watanabe I've only received a very vague report about this test. But before that... there's something else that I'm more curious about. 1 90 90 202 1 1 91 91 301 At Watanabe's cue, the Forsaken soldiers open the marked cache. 92 92 301 The CUB for this testing immediately activates and hovers by Watanabe's side. 93 93 301 Right now, it is just a polygon with red stripes on one side, looking quite ordinary. 94 94 201 1 1101001 95 95 301 1 Watanabe This thing can... help in a fight? It looks so... 1 96 96 202 1 1 97 97 301 Watanabe activates its second stage with uncertainty. 98 98 301 Its form expands and changes as it transforms to prepare for engagements. The animalistic features and coatings of the machine immediately catch the people's attention... and catch them off guard. 99 99 301 Watanabe's doubtful gaze and the unexpected reveal have everyone on the scene turn silent. 100 100 201 1 1101001 101 101 301 1 Watanabe I understand it's supposed to be a support unit, but isn't this design a little bit... excessive? 1 102 102 302 ... 103 There were... thoughts put into it. 104 103 103 105 301 Watanabe I assume there were specific... thoughts put into it? 1 104 104 301 Watanabe If you say so... I suppose there's no harm in it. 1 105 105 301 Watanabe If we're just talking about combat capabilities, it's indeed... quite... 1 106 106 301 Watanabe frowns, excruciating, desperately trying to convince himself with his own argument. 107 107 202 1 1 108 108 301 System Incoming transmission— 109 109 401 1 208 110 110 201 1 500001 111 111 501 Assets/Product/Effect/Prefab/FxUi/FxUiStoryNew/FxUiStoryTongxunHalfNew.prefab 1 112 112 301 1 Celica Is this a good time? Mind if I cut in? 1 113 113 301 The silence is broken up by a call from Babylonia. As the comms connect, Watanabe reverts to his typical expression. 114 114 301 Celica I know the commandant isn't exactly on time, but our tracking shows that 【kuroname】 has arrived. And it seems that Mr. Watanabe here has a lot to say about our CUB? 1 115 115 301 Celica But we can table that for later—it's one of our proudest creations, after all. Asimov, it's your turn to do the talking. 1 116 116 201 1 500004 117 117 301 1 Asimov ...I don't have much to say, to be honest. 1 118 118 301 The Chief Technician is apparently unfamiliar with an occasion like this, or maybe he simply does not care. He pays no attention to how restless he looks. 119 119 301 Asimov Please check the instructions we sent you to see how to use and connect with the "Combat Unit Booster". It's just a prototype, so the user experience may not be perfect, but it won't be lethal. 1 120 120 301 Asimov It might just get a little uncomfortable during the connection. But that's what you get from connecting to the M.I.N.D., so just prepare yourselves. 1 121 121 301 Asimov Regarding its appearance, we have commissioned experts from the WGAA to design it, so I swear it's more than competent. Don't worry. 1 122 122 302 Is that true... 123 I guess looks can be deceiving. 123 123 123 301 Asimov In that case, I'll count on the old models—I mean, the role models of the Forsaken to carry out this test. 1 124 124 203 1 0.25 400 125 125 201 2 1101001 -400 126 126 301 1 Watanabe This is just standard fare. It's nothing to us. 2 127 127 301 Asimov I can tell how battle-tested you all must be from the way you've been maintaining yourselves. I simply require data from older frames. 1 128 128 301 Watanabe ...It seems that Babylonia hasn't forgotten where this frame comes from. 2 129 129 301 Asimov That... is not for me to say. Do you want me to fetch Hassen for you? 1 130 130 301 Watanabe That won't be necessary. 2 131 131 301 Asimov No offense, but it's probably best that we keep this kind of collaboration a one-time event. Good luck. 1 132 132 202 1 1 133 133 505 Assets/Product/Effect/Prefab/FxUi/FxUiStoryNew/FxUiStoryTongxunHalfNew.prefab 1 134 134 301 And the call ends there. 135 135 201 1 500005 400 136 136 301 1 Patrol Leader Sir, is our... "supplier" clear? 1 137 137 204 2 1 138 138 301 Watanabe Don't worry. They would have sent someone else if it was a trap. 2 139 139 301 Facing his hesitant crew, Watanabe casually gives him a pat on the shoulder. 140 140 301 Watanabe For my part, I trust 【kuroname】. We have to have more friends who've fought with us than enemies against us, right? 2 141 141 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Watanabe But you, dear supplier, I do have a job for you before my men are done calibrating the machine. 2
