22 21 301 The door on the side in the air is slammed open as a red-haired female Construct jumps out, her arms bracing her head, and she rolls and lands deftly onto the ground.

23 22 301 Immediately afterward, one of the car windows is cranked down, and out hops the round Co-Bot, followed by a white figure who lands softly next to it.

31 31 301 ??? C-cough...
|

32 32 301 A few moments later, a barely intact door opens up, and a figure appears amidst the black smoke. A masculine male Construct walks out and coughs, his hand waving, trying to clear the smoke away.

|
|
138 138 204 1 5
|
|
139 139 301 Collins The Parliament doesn't want to make a fuss in front of the public—a Chief Commandant getting taken by an unknown force? It's a slap in their face, and it risks exposing us to the public. 1
|
|
140 140 301 Collins Frankly, I'm not interested in playing house with those Parliament folks... but now's not the best time for us to stand in the limelight. 1
|

141 141 204 1

145 145 301 ??? I understand. My resume is "clean" on the surface, at the very least. 2
|
|
146 146 301 Collins Haha, "clean" my ass... A resume's no good apart from tricking those naive babies anyway. Whatever—intentionally revealing a flaw of ours might get them wary instead. 1
|
|
147 147 301 ??? Anyhow, you're asking me to be the face of the operation, is that so? 2
|
|
148 148 301 Collins On the surface, sure. But you know your actual job description is going to be so much longer. 1
|
|
149 149 301 Collins Ever since what happened, I've been studying what's happening with the commandant. Memory replays from a corrupted Mind Beacon... the data suggests that this condition can't be actively controlled. 1
|
|
150 998 301 Collins Which means it could happen again as long as the commandant exists. 1
|
|
151 150 204 1 5
|
|
152 151 301 Collins I'm sure that little brain must be hiding even more secrets. I have a hunch... a strong hunch that the commandant is what I've been looking for. 1
|

153 152 204 2 4

154 153 301 ??? You're sure that you can find what you want in that commandant's brain? 2

155 154 204 1
|
|
156 155 301 Collins Ha, of course not! My hypothesis is baseless! But if we only act with absolute certainty, humans would still be nose-picking monkeys and long extinct. Everything beautiful and true is accidental. 1
|
|
157 156 301 ??? Humans don't evolve from monkeys. It's apes if anything. 2

|
|
161 160 301 Collins I've got two pieces of the puzzle now—a corrupted Mind Beacon from entering an Ascendant's M.I.N.D. and the memory replays from its chain reactions. What an accident! Will the pieces match? What pattern will they make? 1

163 162 204 1 5

164 163 301 Collins Finding a commandant that can resist a M.I.N.D. corruption and catching an Ascendant... we've successfully taken our first step into a new era of R&D. 1
|
|
165 164 301 Collins The first and the most important step. 1

168 167 301 Collins Huh? 1

169 168 301 Rebecca I'm certain that the things you said involve top Kurono secrets, and I'm sure it was an accident that you revealed them. I'll pretend I haven't heard any of them. Don't worry. 2

171 170 301 Collins No, you don't have to worry. This place isn't bugged or anything. 1
|
|
172 171 301 Rebecca You're a high-ranking Kurono officer, and I'm just the middleman between you and the Parliament who doesn't benefit from it all. I don't want my position altered unknowingly. 2
|
|
173 172 301 Having gotten disrupted by her strong and unwavering words, Collins does not appear to be displeased. Instead, he laughs.
|
|
174 173 301 Collins Whatever! If you'd have betrayed us, you'd have done it by now—likewise, you wouldn't be here if Kurono wanted you gone. If I've decided to tell you the truth, it means that, at the very least, I trust you. 1
|

175 174 301 Rebecca Why does that sound more like a threat... 2
|

202 200 301 Operation Leader Missions for Cerberus are usually issued by the Chief Commander through direct channels. This... I've honestly no idea what's going on.
|

203 201 301 Chief Advisor I see... But their recent mission logs have all been cleared, and all their operation statuses are marked "transferred." It can't be...?
|

204 202 301 Operation Leader Don't ask about things we shouldn't know. Even I only know that they're related to the experimental remote connections... I've never seen their "commandant." If they're getting assigned through us instead...
|

217 215 301 Operation Leader Deployment officer, you're... going to distribute the units and supplies I'm about to mention in a reasonable fashion among the usual mission assign sequence. I don't want anyone outside of those here to notice anything.

221 219 301 Operation Leader Logistics? You're going to figure out how to procure a set of scouting equipment and non-lethal weapons from the logistic pipeline for "training needs." I'll ask the Task Force to give you the details later.

223 221 301 1 Field Commander Sir, may I ask—what operation is this, exactly? 1
|
|
224 222 301 Operation Leader We're tracing a bio-signal, confirming the target's exact coordinates and maintaining observation if possible. Watch out for possible resistance, but control the impact—it's a direct order from the "highest ups."
|
|
225 223 301 The operation leader waves his black folder at the field commander.
|
|
226 224 301 Field Commander ...Whose bio-signal? 1
|
|
227 225 301 Operation Leader ...【kuroname】, the commandant of Gray Raven from Babylonia.
|
|
228 226 301 Field Commander The target of the deployment... 1
|
|
229 227 301 Operation Leader —Is the exact same commandant. You can read up on the details yourself.

235 233 301 Today is the first day Cerberus is assigned a mission since they have been evacuated from supporting Strike Hawk and remained on standby.
|
|
236 234 301 As their captain, Vera was called to confirm the mission details two hours ago. Noctis, having been breakdancing in their lounge room and picking on Hellhound, is also off to "upgrade" his gears enthusiastically.

238 236 301 Vera 21, meet us at the war room in ten minutes.

243 241 301 The artificial sun on Eden is warm today.
|
|
244 242 301 Dust swirls and floats in the sunlight. No. 21 has observed a great many things—ants walking in dirt, patterns on leaves, fine furs on animals... but this is the first time she notices dust in the light.
|
|
245 243 301 She holds up her hand, and the rays of slightly blinding light shine through the gaps between her fingers, tangling. She cannot catch them, but she can feel their heat—this is the first time she has experienced this.
|
|
246 244 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Sunlight, dust, birds... humans.

249 247 301 AniZhuanchangEnd A few human figures walk past her from behind. Their gloomy, oppressive presence sticks out like a dark cloud under the sun.
|
|
250 248 301 Her animalistic sensitivity makes her turn her head.
|
|
251 249 301 She can smell the humans' scents clearly, and how they are different from the way other humans usually smell. She catches hints of fragrance from their soap, from their food... Scents that reassure and comfort her.
|

252 250 401 1 201
|
|
253 251 301 But No. 21 also notices the pills, the chains, and the oil used to polish firearms. They remind her of the research institute where she stayed... as well as "that place." They all signify danger, unknown, and darkness.
|
|
254 252 301 Among the black-clad figures, the human in a long-sleeved windbreaker seems to notice No. 21's inquisitive gaze, looking up to meet it.
|
|
255 253 301 No. 21's eyes open wide, showing no intention to avoid the human's stare. The sense of danger does not come from the human but the black-clad figures around.
|
|
256 254 301 With one look, No. 21 recognizes that the tense figures in black have weapons hidden among their briefcases. The sense of familiarity further grabs ahold of her, digging up the word "Kurono" from her repressed memories.
|
|
257 255 301 She remembers her last mission months ago and how the scent of "Kurono" has been lingering in her M.I.N.D.
|
|
258 256 301 Does this human know of the danger? Or perhaps the human is their leader?
|
|
259 257 301 With her almost animalistic instinct, No. 21 quickly makes multiple assessments of the situation, only to have them rebutted by more questions.
|
|
260 258 301 The human looks away after a quiet glance.
|
|
261 259 301 No. 21 ...
|
|
262 260 301 That one glance has No. 21 relax her alerted, tensed body.
|
|
263 261 301 Whatever danger there is, that human has shown no fear. She can tell from those eyes that things are still in control.
|
|
264 262 301 This is Babylonia, not the research institute or Kurono. There are no unexpected menaces or experiments on her path that would put her on a leash.

271 270 301 She replies in the comms. Her body is alerted by the uncertainty, but she is no longer afraid nor lost the way she was.
|
|
272 271 301 Whatever lies ahead, No. 21 does not run away. She confronts them.
