|
|
4 4 301 You exit the tent—and see Bianca standing right by the window, with the side of her face bathing in the hazy white light that's coming through.
|
|
5 5 301 With her hand placed on the window frame, she seems like a statue forgotten by the world.
|
|
6 6 301 It's only when your movement breaks the silence in the air that she finally turns this way to face you.

15 15 301 Clearly layered without so much as a billow of cloud, the skies are reminiscent of watercolor on a canvas.
|
|
16 16 301 Pure white, the land reaches well into the distance until it touches the horizon at the very far end.
|
|
17 17 301 At this very moment, the boundless white and deep blues seem to be the only two colors left in this world.

21 21 301 1 Bianca It's all sunny out there. Seems like we've only been delayed for a bit. 1
|
|
22 22 301 Bianca I made you some breakfast with the portal kitchenware and frozen ingredients, Commandant, but I'm afraid you'll have to eat it in the vehicle. 1
|
|
23 23 302 The what? 24
|
|
24 24 202 1 1
|
|
25 25 301 You look out the window—and see that the polar vehicle that was stuck in the snow is now parked right outside the research station.
|
|
26 26 201 1 500535
|
|
27 27 301 1 Bianca I brought it back while you were still sleeping. 1
|
|
28 28 301 Bianca It took me a few hours, and it isn't anything overly challenging for a Construct. 1
|
|
29 29 301 And you finally see them—the snowflakes on Bianca's hair, presumably from when she was trying to get the vehicle out of the hole.

36 36 301 Bianca Right... I totally forgot to make myself look presentable. 1
|
|
37 37 302 You could have asked me for help. 38
|
|
38 38 301 Bianca I was going to... 1

40 40 301 Bianca Except I just couldn't bring myself to do it seeing you sound asleep. 1
|

41 41 204 1
|
|
42 42 301 Bianca And considering what we'll be doing next, you were supposed to have as much rest as possible to recover from everything we did last night. 1
|
|
43 43 301 Bianca Constructs are much better suited for occasions like this, Commandant. You should avoid exerting yourself until you're absolutely needed. 1
|
|
44 44 204 1 1
|
|
45 45 301 Bianca We're a team now, remember? 1

51 51 301 AniZhuanchangEnd The tent is put away and the polar vehicle is started.
|
|
52 52 301 Holding the cup of creamy soup that Bianca made for you, you turn your gaze at the pure white expanse that's this land.
|
|
53 53 301 With the snowstorm lifted, you can now finally appreciate the views this land has to offer.
|
|
54 54 301 Unlike the Arctic Circle—currently occupied by the ARU—this place is humanless in every sense of the word.
|
|
55 55 301 No humans, no conflicts, no viruses, and no war.
|
|
56 56 301 Quiet and untarnished. You never thought that Earth—now a planet ruined and torn apart by the war between humanity and the Punishing Virus—still had a place like this.
|
|
57 57 301 The white expanse just goes on and on and on.
|
|
58 58 201 1 500533 1
|
|
59 59 301 1 Bianca I have some coffee here, Commandant. It's instant, though. 1
|
|
60 60 301 Holding a vacuum flask, Bianca looks at you out of the corner of her eye with a smile on her face.
|
|
61 61 302 Thanks. 62
|
|
62 62 202 1 1
|
|
63 63 301 Receiving the vacuum flask and opening the lid, you smell the wonderful aroma of coffee right away.
|
|
64 64 301 Then, a curious thought crosses your mind.
|
|
65 65 301 You aren't sure if it's some trick the white expanse is doing to your mind, but...
|
|
66 66 301 AniZhuanchangBegin For a split second, you thought this odyssey through the snow would last forever.

|
|
74 74 301 Finishing the rest of the creamy soup from the cup, you try to calm yourself down and rid yourself of any unnecessary emotions.
|
|
75 75 301 You were momentarily lost in the view, but you never forgot what you came here to do.
|
|
76 76 301 Seeing the research station in the distance where the expedition was stationed, you ask Bianca to park the vehicle in the shade behind a snow-covered rock.
|
|
77 77 302 Let's go on foot from here. 78
|
|
78 78 201 1 500533

|
|
83 83 401 2 1511
|
|
84 84 301 Without a word, you and Bianca communicate and agree on a strategy with eyes and gestures only. Then, following Bianca, you close in on the research station.
|
|
85 85 301 This research station looks about the same as the one you spent the night in last night, but you can tell from the light and running exhaust fans that this place is still in operation.
|
|
86 86 301 You and Bianca make it all the way to the entrance without being ambushed.
|
|
87 87 301 From right outside the entrance, however, you can hear a conversation coming from the inside.
|
|
88 88 401 1 203

103 103 301 1 Bianca Drop all your weapons now! 1
|
|
104 104 301 With years of experience under her belt as a member of the Purifying Force, Bianca decided to hold down the people in this research station by force, having determined how many of them there were from the conversation.

110 110 301 1 Looking this way, the people inside all seem caught off guard.
|
|
111 111 301 With the door blown off, a gust of wind blows in and sweeps up the pile of cards on the table.
|
|
112 112 301 With four spade sevens in hand, the expedition member who just shouted looks utterly baffled seeing you and Bianca.
|
|
113 113 301 The way they look, however, doesn't seem to fit how they're described in the mission report—"showed signs of 'defecting' or 'missing'."

115 115 201 1 500533 7
|

116 116 301 1 Bianca What... is going on? 1
|
|
117 117 301 At this point, Bianca looks as utterly baffled as all the expedition members looking at her in the eye, causing you to feel even more tense than you were just moments ago.
|
|
118 118 201 1 500405
|
|
119 119 301 1 Expedition Member B A-are you from Babylonia? 1

120 120 201 1 500533 5 -80
|
|
121 121 301 1 Bianca We're the Purifying Force, and we're here to... 1
|
|
122 122 301 Bianca ... 1
|
|
123 123 301 The situation is now beyond awkward, and Bianca isn't sure how to handle these scared people who don't carry any weapons.
|
|
124 124 203 1 0.25
|
|
125 125 301 Taking a step back, she seems to want you to take over.
|
|
126 126 204 1 8
|
|
127 127 301 Bianca I think it's best that you take over from here, Commandant. 1
|
|
128 128 204 1
|
|
129 129 301 They all draw a deep breath at the mention of the Purifying Force—they might have been huddled up in here for years now, but they know exactly what the Purifying Force does.
|
|
130 130 301 You exchange a look with Bianca and nod at her.
|

137 137 301 1 Expedition Member A Did you just say they thought we'd defected? What a bunch of nonsense! 1
|
|
138 138 301 Expedition Member B We've been stationed here for years already. And can you even imagine how a bunch of research Constructs like us are capable of defection? 2
|
|
139 139 202 2 1
|
|
140 140 201 1 500533
|
|
141 141 301 1 Bianca But Babylonia did get a very strange communication... 1
|
|
142 142 201 1 500019 -400
|
|
143 143 201 2 500405 400 1
|
|
144 144 301 1 Expedition Member A A communication...? Wait... 1
|
|
145 145 301 Expedition Member B Do you guys think they're talking about... that...? 2
|
|
146 146 301 The expedition members exchange looks amongst themselves as they speak in hushed voices.
|
|
147 147 202 1 2 1
|
|
148 148 201 1 500028
|
|
149 149 301 1 Finally, a captain-present Construct steps out and, in a sincere tone, starts speaking to you.
|
|
150 150 301 Expedition Captain Apologies, Commandant, but it seems like there was some misunderstanding between us and Babylonia. 1
|
|
151 151 301 Expedition Captain And we may have an idea of what might have caused the misunderstanding. 1
|
|
152 152 301 Expedition Captain It'd be a bit of a hassle to explain it, and I think having you see it for yourselves would save all of us the hassle. 1
|
|
153 153 301 Expedition Captain Would you both like to go with us, then? We'll fill you in on everything once we're there. 1
|
|
154 154 201 1 500533
|
|
155 155 301 1 Bianca What should we do, Commandant? 1
|
|
156 156 301 This is supposed to be the Purifying Force's mission, but Bianca is putting you in charge of the situation here. It's your call now whether or not you want to trust these people.
|
|
157 157 202 1 1
|
|
158 158 302 ...Well, much obliged, then. 159
|
|
159 159 301 Seeing their reactions and attitudes, you don't think you'd ever describe these people as "defectors"?
|
|
160 160 301 Besides, these Constructs are all of an earlier version and all came without weapons. Granted that the group was twice its current size, Bianca still would have been able to dust them all up in a breeze with her latest specialized frame.
|
|
161 161 301 Which is why you think it wouldn't hurt to trust them.
|
|
162 162 201 1 500028
|
|
163 163 301 1 Expedition Captain Of course. 1
|
|
164 164 202 1
|
|
165 165 301 Taking care of the door blown off by Bianca, the Captain asks the rest of the expedition to gear up to leave.

167 167 101 RImgBg2Enable Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/Bgstory221.png
|
|
168 168 301 Following the expedition, you arrive at the research station's garage—which houses an exploration vehicle big enough to carry everyone.
|
|
169 169 301 This time, however, you're the one behind the wheel, while the Captain, who sits in the front passenger seat, sets the destination for you. You've decided to take this as a safety measure against the expedition—so that if and when anything does happen, at least you're in control of the wheel.
|
|
170 170 301 Sitting in the middle row are two expedition members. Bianca has taken the very last row, where she'd be able to keep an eye on the expedition.

|
|
174 174 301 With the exploration vehicle now heading away from the research station, you find the air inside quieter and heavier still than when you were traveling with just Bianca.
|
|
175 175 301 These people seem edgy about your sudden appearance. To them, Bianca probably seems like someone who wouldn't hesitate for a second to slash them the moment she thinks they're trying anything funny.
|
|
176 176 301 Judging a book by its cover can be detrimental, and you certainly don't want that to get in the way between you and these people—which is why you've decided to take the initiative to strike up a conversation to clear the air.
|
|
177 177 302 Have you all always been here since Babylonia was established? 178
|
|
178 178 201 1 500028
|
|
179 179 301 1 Expedition Captain Well... to be more precise, we've been here since WGAA's Archaeological Team was formed. 1
|
|
180 180 301 Expedition Captain What we do doesn't really have to do with WGAA's objectives, though, despite the fact that we fall under their jurisdiction. 1
|
|
181 181 301 Expedition Captain There are no human civilizations here, so we are mainly just trying to investigate Earth's ecological changes and previously unknown species... 1
|
|
182 182 301 Expedition Captain An example would be... how we're able to come up with better estimates of Earth's overall climatic changes based on the data we've collected from our long-term observation of Antarctica's climate... See, global warming has been a source of headache for humans since as early as the Golden Age. 1
|
|
183 183 301 Expedition Captain Another example would be... Say, if we have a better understanding of the food chain here, we just might be able to come up with a sustainable resource acquisition system that would go a long way to benefit not just Babylonia... but humanity as a whole. 1
|
|
184 184 301 Expedition Captain These are all very important on many different levels, and yet... Babylonia focuses almost entirely on trying to get humanity's lost lands on Earth, to the point that they decided to put this expedition under WGAA and not the Science Council. 1

|
|
188 188 301 1 Expedition Member A We understand that our work isn't substantially helpful in terms of fighting off the Punishing Virus, which is why we've learned to play within our limits. 1
|
|
189 189 301 Expedition Member B We rarely ever ask to have precision gadgets sent our way, and it's been God-only-knows-how-long since a good number of us last had our maintenance done back in Babylonia. 2
|
|
190 190 202 2 1
|
|
191 191 201 1 500028
|
|
192 192 301 1 Expedition Captain We're basically just a whole bunch of free-range chicks... See, sometimes I wonder if Babylonia still remembers us. Haha... 1
|
|
193 193 201 1 500533
|
|
194 194 301 1 Bianca I can tell you that Babylonia still remembers all of you here. 1
|
|
195 195 301 Bianca This much I can say with certainty. 1
|
|
196 196 301 Bianca cuts the Captain's self-mockery short.
|
|
197 197 301 Bianca The command center sent both of us here to look into the matter right after receiving your message. 1
|
|
198 198 301 Bianca The higher-ups did take the possibility of defection into account, but we weren't sent here to purge anyone without first figuring out what happened. Commandant and I would have helped the expedition however we could, had it turned out that you were caught in the middle of an accident. 1
|
|
199 199 302 We'll never leave our people to die. 200
|
|
200 200 201 1 500028
|
|
201 201 301 1 Expedition Captain Uhm... is that so? 1
|
|
202 202 301 Expedition Captain I don't know if you're just being polite, but those words sure sound reassuring. 1
|
|
203 203 201 1 500019
|
|
204 204 301 1 Expedition Member A Say... you wouldn't happen to be the Gray Raven Commandant, would you? 1
|
|
205 205 302 Do you know me? 206
|
|
206 206 201 1 500405
|
|
207 207 301 1 Expedition Member B Haha... we recognized you the moment you came in. 1
|
|
208 208 301 Expedition Member B Babylonia sends us a battle report on the frontline for our monthly communication... and that's pretty much our only means of staying in touch with the ground. 1
|
|
209 209 301 Expedition Member B Your name and pictures are always everywhere on the reports. 1
|
|
210 210 201 1 500019
|
|
211 211 301 1 Expedition Member A As far away as we might be from the Punishing Virus, we still pay a whole lot of attention to humanity's fight against the Punishing Virus. 1
|
|
212 212 301 Expedition Member A We all know by heart every single thing that the Task Force has done... Mind you, though, we do spend a lot of time debating if they actually happened... 1
|
|
213 213 301 Expedition Member A But I'm damned. Never thought I'd ever get a chance to meet the legend of this generation from Babylonia... 1
|
|
214 214 302 This whole legend thing is totally blown out of proportion, though... 215 I couldn't have done what I have if I were on my own. 215
|
|
215 215 301 They all get worked up seeing you admit your identity.
|
|
216 216 201 1 500405
|
|
217 217 301 1 Expedition Member B And I heard you were part of the Battle of Kowloong, no? How many of you were there? And there wasn't just Babylonia, right? Heard almost all the major forces from the ground were there, no? 1
