5 5 301 DialogEnable 1 Roland Gabriel, do you think Miss Luna has been acting quite strange recently? 1
6 6 301 Roland She's even appearing on the battlefield. 1
7 7 301 Gabriel Our leader appearing on the battlefield boosts troop morale. It shouldn't be considered strange. 2
8 8 301 Roland ... 1
9 9 301 Roland Forget it... 1

11 11 301 With that, Roland picks up a stone and chucks it at a tree behind him.
12 12 301 The stone, however, does not connect with the tree. Instead, it stops midair.
13 13 301 Then, slowly, a hand grows out of the stone, slowly corporealizing into a body. Arm, torso, until the figure reveals itself coiling around the tree with several legs.

16 16 301 1 Lamia Eeek...! Watch out! Why'd you throw at me! 2
17 8523 301 Roland Reminds me, can she really handle it all by herself? 1
18 8524 301 Lamia I-I guess...? She said we don't have to provide her with any support. We can just withdraw once we complete our mission... 2
19 8525 301 Roland ...Sounds like something she'd say. 1
20 17 301 Roland You spend more time with Miss Luna than we do, don't you find it a bit off? 1
21 18 301 Lamia N-no, not really... But I guess Miss Luna has been spending more time by herself than usual... 2
22 19 301 Roland And you still don't find it strange, huh... 1
23 20 301 Lamia B-but Miss Luna and Miss Alpha are just the same as ever... 2
24 21 301 Roland ...Oh, you're just—Sigh. 1
25 22 301 Roland I had you keep an eye on "her." Any news? 1
26 23 301 Lamia Uh, well... You got nothing with a direct confrontation. What makes you think I'd have any updates... 2
27 24 301 Lamia ..."She" seems to be traveling aimlessly as usual. 2

29 26 301 Roland ...That's the dog that didn't bark, dear Watson. 1
30 27 301 Roland Based on the signal we recently sent out in South America, "she" seems to be acting as if nothing happened. 1

34 31 301 1 Gabriel Maybe she didn't catch the news. 3
35 32 301 Gabriel As you know, ground relay is slower than it used to be. 3
36 33 301 Roland Is there any possibility... that we've all been gravely mistaken? 1
37 34 301 Roland What if "she" doesn't really care? 1
38 35 301 Gabriel If so, then "she" is by no means a good agent. 3
39 36 301 Roland Who stipulated that an agent must be loyal to their duty? Do you even know how agents are created? 1
40 37 301 Gabriel & Lamia ... 2 3
41 38 204 1
42 39 301 Roland Look, even WE don't know. Non-agents know nothing about agents. 1
43 40 301 Roland That's the issue. 1
44 41 301 Roland is about to continue, when Lamia points off into the distance.
45 42 301 Lamia I-it's beginning... 2
46 43 301 Roland and Gabriel look to where Lamia is pointing and see the Arctic Route Union surrounded by an explosion of fire and smoke.
47 44 204 1 4
48 45 301 Roland What's going on...? Wouldn't forcing them away achieve her goal already? 1
49 46 301 Lamia Miss Luna... is trying to bring destruction upon them all. 2
50 47 301 Roland This does not bode well. We've revealed our hand too early... 1
51 48 301 Roland All while Babylonia and "she" still have their hands covered, we're forced to be on the passive. 1
52 49 301 Gabriel Let us wait and consult with Miss Luna when she returns. Perhaps we no longer need to lurk in the dark. 3
53 50 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Roland Maybe, just maybe... 1
58 55 301 AniZhuanchangEnd 1 "421" So, are you still going to side with them? 1
59 56 301 Shadows outstretched, the room is bathed in darkness. The robot looks over at a mysterious figure standing half-illuminated before it.
60 57 301 The shadowy figure lights a fire, leaving a fiery dot in the darkness, trailing with a puff of white smoke.
61 58 301 ??? Indeed. This is all quite amusing.
62 59 301 ??? And with the addition of Huaxu, this has become... all the more interesting.
63 60 301 "421" If only I hadn't spared your life. 1
64 61 301 ??? I'd say the same thing if I were you.
65 62 301 ??? I'm sure me being alive has been quite the thorn in your side.
66 63 301 "421" But as you know, I've never really cared about it. You're still of use to me now. 1
67 64 301 ??? Useful to you? Or do you mean the two old guys above you?
68 65 301 "421" You know I can't answer you that. 1
69 66 301 ??? Never expected you to anyways.
70 67 301 "421" So, what's with "Huaxu"? 1
71 68 301 ??? What information do you have in exchange?
72 69 301 "421" Enough intel to keep you away from the tip of Babylonia's spear in the coming days. 1
73 70 301 ??? Fair enough. Let me ask you this... What purpose does "Huaxu" serve?
74 71 301 "421" "Huaxu" is an AI. As for its purpose, that is for its owner to decide. 1
75 72 301 ??? You're right. My point is, Huaxu may have a new master, but has her master... really changed?
76 73 301 The shadowy figure shakes their head and nods. The mechanical joints in their hands clench and loose. Finally, a few chuckles slide out of the speaker.
77 74 301 "421" So... The plot thickens. 1
78 75 301 "421" Last question—how big of a piece do you want of the pie? 1
79 76 301 ??? Who said I only wanted a piece? What if—I want the whole pie?
80 77 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin "421" You can certainly try... 1
