6 | 5 | 6 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | A wave of golden yellow dust whirls in the air on the barren desert, followed immediately by deafening rock music and bursts of angry shouts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | 6 | 300 | 401 | 2 | 885 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | 7 | 7 | 301 | A folding truck, tilted, is trekking forward in an S-shaped path with only two of its wheels speedily while maintaining physics-defying balance, a feat that would have Archimedes risen from his grave and clapped. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | 8 | 5 | 401 | 1 | 205 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | 9 | 8 | 301 | RImgBg1Shake | ??? | Hey! Who taught you to drive like this?! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | 10 | 9 | 301 | ?? | Nobody. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | 11 | 10 | 301 | ??? | Who the hell let the idiot take the wheel? Vera? Vera! Help! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

16 | 15 | 14 | 301 | Vera | Enough, the two of you! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | 16 | 15 | 301 | ?? | Capt., please don't unsheathe your sword in the car. It's dangerous. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | 17 | 16 | 301 | ??? | What's more dangerous than what you're doing?! Step on the brake, now! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | 18 | 17 | 301 | ?? | That's what I've been doing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | 19 | 18 | 301 | ??? | —That's the gas pedal, not the brakes! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | 20 | 19 | 301 | ??? | Do something, Vera—w-wait, why are you opening the door? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | 21 | 20 | 301 | RImgBg1Shake | Vera | All of you, out! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24 | 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 | 31 | 301 | ??? | C-cough... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
32 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
33 | 33 | 33 | 401 | 2 | 1506 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
34 | 34 | 34 | 301 | —BOOM! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

37 | 37 | 37 | 202 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
38 | 38 | 38 | 301 | The Construct looks down at the door handle in his hand and the broken car door still attached to the other end. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
39 | 39 | 39 | 301 | He shrugs and throws the door aside. Looking back up, he finds the blinding flashes of a blade before him, and he raises his hands in panic. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

51 | 51 | 51 | 301 | Noctis | How can an evacuation count as a mission? | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
52 | 52 | 52 | 301 | Vera | I'm the Captain here! I decide what counts as one. Who do you think you are? | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
53 | 53 | 53 | 301 | Noctis | But 21 is the reason we crashed! The one time we got assigned a folding truck... | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

61 | 61 | 61 | 301 | Vera teases him as she withdraws her blade. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
62 | 62 | 62 | 301 | Vera | 21, report the crash and note that it was Noctis' fault. We're not far from our destination now, so collect yourselves and we'll start walking. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

72 | 72 | 71 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | The chunky red-headed Construct sits on a rock, his hands pulling his hair. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

75 | 75 | 75 | 301 | 1 | Noctis | ...Why do we have to evacuate so suddenly? Aren't the Strike Birds in terrible danger? Are the higher-ups underestimating us? | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
76 | 76 | 76 | 301 | Vera | It's Strike Hawk, you fool. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
77 | 77 | 77 | 301 | Noctis | And we're retreating for no reason! Our mission directory got cleared, and all of our jobs got assigned to those copycats in Hellhound! | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
78 | 78 | 78 | 301 | Noctis | I bet their Captain must be so goddamn thrilled right now, breakdancing in the war room. | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
79 | 79 | 79 | 301 | Noctis | I'm going to tear his throat out the next time I catch that guy... | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
80 | 80 | 80 | 301 | Vera | I don't care what you do in your spare time... but you do as I say when we're out on a mission, is that understood? | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
81 | 81 | 81 | 301 | Noctis | Aren't you mad, Vera? Don't you hate getting your stuff taken right underneath your nose? | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
82 | 82 | 82 | 204 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
83 | 83 | 83 | 301 | Vera | What is there to be mad about? If it's a job that those idiots can do, then it isn't something that's worth my time to begin with. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
84 | 84 | 84 | 202 | 1 | 2 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
85 | 85 | 85 | 301 | Vera narrows her eyes and stays silent for a moment after saying that. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
86 | 86 | 86 | 201 | 1 | 500168 | 13 | -450 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

88 | 88 | 88 | 301 | 1 | Vera | Plus... this might be the calm before the storm. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
89 | 89 | 89 | 301 | Noctis | Storm? Is it going to rain? The sun's still out, from what I can tell. | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
90 | 90 | 90 | 204 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
91 | 91 | 91 | 301 | Vera | Shush. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
92 | 92 | 92 | 202 | 1 | 2 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
93 | 93 | 93 | 301 | Vera stops Noctis from babbling. There seems to be an incoming call as Vera has stood up, her finger tapping on her ear. Her flaming red hair flows in the wind, hiding her expression. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
94 | 94 | 94 | 301 | Vera | ... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
95 | 95 | 95 | 301 | AniZhuanchangBegin | Vera | ...Nikola?... I see. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

99 | 99 | 101 | 301 | 1 | The tired figure in the Support Force uniform before them looks up before pointing to the transport craft to the side. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
100 | 100 | 102 | 301 | Support Force | That one. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
101 | 101 | 103 | 301 | Support Force | The crashed vehicle you reported will be recycled after the battle. Just get going for now. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
102 | 102 | 104 | 301 | It seems that the Support Force members in the back are also exhausted by the intense battles on the frontline. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
103 | 103 | 105 | 201 | 1 | 500336 | 4 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
104 | 104 | 106 | 301 | 1 | Noctis | Seriously? We're the only squad that's retreating? | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
105 | 105 | 107 | 201 | 1 | 500019 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
106 | 106 | 108 | 301 | 1 | Support Force | We're just following orders. Hurry up if possible; we're short on transportation, and we still have to pick up a bunch of squads who are finishing their operations. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
107 | 107 | 109 | 201 | 1 | 500336 | 4 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
108 | 108 | 110 | 301 | 1 | Noctis | Tsk. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
109 | 109 | 111 | 201 | 1 | 500168 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
110 | 110 | 112 | 301 | 1 | Vera | Enough, Noctis. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
111 | 111 | 113 | 204 | 1 | 13 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
112 | 112 | 114 | 301 | Vera | ...Hah, survival of the fittest, is that so? | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
113 | 113 | 115 | 301 | No one knows who Vera was talking to—if anything, she appears to be talking to herself. No. 21, however, seems to have noticed something and looks up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
114 | 114 | 116 | 201 | 1 | 500328 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
115 | 115 | 117 | 301 | 1 | No. 21 | ...? | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
116 | 116 | 118 | 201 | 1 | 500336 | 4 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
117 | 117 | 119 | 301 | 1 | Noctis | Hey, what's that? Are you saying I'm not fit... | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
118 | 118 | 120 | 202 | 1 | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
119 | 119 | 121 | 301 | AniZhuanchangBegin | Vera gives No. 21 a look as Noctis protests in the background. Without another word, she steps into the transport craft heading back to Babylonia. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
120 | 120 | 122 | 101 | Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/BgStory0.png | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
121 | 121 | 123 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | Survival of the fittest... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
122 | 122 | 124 | 301 | No. 21 recognizes the phrase—the winners live, and the losers die. Her captain has once used it to describe a place... somewhere they have both stayed before. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
123 | 124 | 126 | 301 | Was that a hint? Or was that just a random thing her captain said? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
124 | 125 | 128 | 301 | Kurono—a name that No. 21 no longer associates with. After getting transferred away, she has no longer heard it spoken in Babylonia. All traces of Kurono have just vanished from her life entirely. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
125 | 126 | 129 | 301 | AniZhuanchangBegin | ...Not entirely, perhaps. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

131 | 132 | 131 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | AniZhuanchangBegin | Inside Collins' office, a few days after the emergency evacuation from Operation Red Tide— | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
132 | 133 | 132 | 101 | Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/Bgstory101.png | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

136 | 137 | 137 | 301 | Collins | Seriously? Do you know how many favors I've had to trade in order to get the authority to employ that squad and their commandant? | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
137 | 138 | 138 | 204 | 1 | 5 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
138 | 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
139 | 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
140 | 141 | 141 | 204 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
141 | 142 | 142 | 301 | Collins | Therefore, you and your whole shtick... dearest Miss Popular? Better you do it this time instead of Kurono. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
142 | 143 | 143 | 204 | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
143 | 144 | 144 | 301 | The sweet-looking woman before Collins smiles and fixes her hair. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
144 | 147 | 147 | 301 | ??? | Anyhow, you're asking me to be the face of the operation, is that so? | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
145 | 148 | 148 | 301 | Collins | On the surface, sure. But you know your actual job description is going to be so much longer. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
146 | 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
147 | 150 | 998 | 301 | Collins | Which means it could happen again as long as the commandant exists. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
148 | 151 | 150 | 204 | 1 | 5 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
149 | 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
150 | 153 | 152 | 204 | 2 | 4 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
151 | 154 | 153 | 301 | ??? | You're sure that you can find what you want in that commandant's brain? | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
152 | 155 | 154 | 204 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
153 | 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
154 | 157 | 156 | 301 | ??? | Humans don't evolve from monkeys. It's apes if anything. | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
155 | 158 | 157 | 204 | 1 | 14 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
156 | 159 | 158 | 301 | Collins | Thank you for your correction, Rebecca. Of course I know that. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
157 | 160 | 159 | 204 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
158 | 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
159 | 162 | 161 | 301 | Rebecca | Collins... | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
160 | 163 | 162 | 204 | 1 | 5 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
161 | 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
162 | 165 | 164 | 301 | Collins | The first and the most important step. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
163 | 166 | 165 | 301 | Rebecca | Collins, sir, please be careful— | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
164 | 167 | 166 | 204 | 1 | 7 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
165 | 168 | 167 | 301 | Collins | Huh? | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
166 | 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
167 | 170 | 169 | 204 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
168 | 171 | 170 | 301 | Collins | No, you don't have to worry. This place isn't bugged or anything. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
169 | 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
170 | 173 | 172 | 301 | Having gotten disrupted by her strong and unwavering words, Collins does not appear to be displeased. Instead, he laughs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
171 | 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 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
172 | 175 | 174 | 301 | Rebecca | Why does that sound more like a threat... | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
173 | 176 | 175 | 204 | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
174 | 177 | 176 | 301 | Rebecca | Fine, leave it to me. I don't run away from a mission for the higher-ups. | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
175 | 178 | 177 | 301 | Collins | That's the attitude! I picked you precisely because of that confidence... I look forward to your work. Let's scour every last inch of that commandant's brain for all the secrets hidden inside! | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

177 | 180 | 179 | 301 | Rebecca | Sir... | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
178 | 181 | 180 | 301 | Collins | Alright. I've made myself pretty clear. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
179 | 183 | 182 | 204 | 1 | 14 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
180 | 184 | 183 | 301 | Collins | Go, Rebecca. I'm excited to see you shine. | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
181 | 185 | 184 | 301 | Rebecca | Don't exaggerate. Have you sent the brief to my terminal? Which Task Force am I getting? | 2 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
182 | 186 | 185 | 202 | 1 | 2 | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
183 | 187 | 186 | 301 | Collins crosses his arm in front of his chest and gives Rebecca a gaze. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

188 | 193 | 191 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | Collins | Hehe... You're most definitely going to love them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
189 | 194 | 193 | 301 | AniZhuanchangBegin | World Government Operation Logistics Center, meanwhile— | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

192 | 197 | 195 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | There is no noise except for quiet whispers and keyboards clicking. Advisors and sergeants walk between terminals, holo-maps, and battle simulations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
193 | 198 | 196 | 301 | Infinite intel, analysis, and estimations go through this place every day, processed by the brains here before turning into orders and reports on the different Task Forces and those in charge of the conservation areas. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
194 | 199 | 197 | 301 | —The same thing is happening today. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
195 | 200 | 198 | 301 | 1 | Operation Leader | Operation command... Clearance... XX001A... Assigned to... Cerberus. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
196 | 201 | 199 | 301 | Chief Advisor | Cerberus? We have a team called Cerberus? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
197 | 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
198 | 205 | 203 | 301 | Operation Leader | Anyway, if the operation is assigned through us, then it's our job. Give me the status of Cerberus. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
199 | 206 | 204 | 301 | Chief Advisor | One sec. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
200 | 207 | 205 | 401 | 2 | 1515 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
201 | 208 | 206 | 301 | The Advisor taps on the keyboard in front of his terminal, his fingers jumping between keys, as rows of search results are listed on the holo-screen. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
202 | 209 | 207 | 301 | Chief Advisor | Cerberus, status: standing by at the base. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
203 | 210 | 208 | 301 | Operation Leader | Move the mission directly to the assignment terminal at the forward operating base. Set the priority to the highest. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
204 | 211 | 209 | 301 | Chief Advisor | Copy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
205 | 212 | 210 | 301 | Operation Leader | Good. That's the easiest part of our day sorted. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
206 | 213 | 211 | 301 | Chief Advisor | The easiest part? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
207 | 215 | 213 | 301 | AniZhuanchangBegin | Operation Leader | Get me a deployment officer with high clearance and two logistics officers... as well as a field commander from the Task Force. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
208 | 216 | 214 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | His order is quickly issued, and within moments, the operation leader and the chief advisor are joined by people in different uniforms, all looking ready and prepared. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
209 | 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
210 | 218 | 216 | 201 | 1 | 500303 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
211 | 219 | 217 | 301 | 1 | Deployment Officer | Roger. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

213 | 222 | 220 | 201 | 1 | 500005 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
214 | 223 | 221 | 301 | 1 | Field Commander | Sir, may I ask—what operation is this, exactly? | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
215 | 225 | 223 | 301 | The operation leader waves his black folder at the field commander. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
216 | 226 | 224 | 301 | Field Commander | ...Whose bio-signal? | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
217 | 227 | 225 | 301 | Operation Leader | ...【kuroname】, the commandant of Gray Raven from Babylonia. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
218 | 228 | 226 | 301 | Field Commander | The target of the deployment... | 1 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
219 | 229 | 227 | 301 | Operation Leader | —Is the exact same commandant. You can read up on the details yourself. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
220 | 230 | 228 | 301 | AniZhuanchangBegin | The operation leader throws the folder into the commander's arms. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

224 | 234 | 232 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | Parliament Square, Babylonia. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
225 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
226 | 237 | 235 | 401 | 2 | 1515 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
227 | 238 | 236 | 301 | Vera | 21, meet us at the war room in ten minutes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
228 | 239 | 237 | 301 | Meanwhile, No. 21 is heading to the war room by herself. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
229 | 240 | 238 | 201 | 1 | 500328 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
230 | 241 | 239 | 301 | 1 | No. 21 | ... | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

232 | 243 | 241 | 301 | The artificial sun on Eden is warm today. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
233 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
234 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
235 | 246 | 244 | 301 | AniZhuanchangBegin | Sunlight, dust, birds... humans. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
236 | 247 | 246 | 101 | Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgCg/Cg2001_9.jpg | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
237 | 248 | 999 | 401 | 2 | 1516 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
238 | 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
239 | 250 | 248 | 301 | Her animalistic sensitivity makes her turn her head. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
240 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
241 | 252 | 250 | 401 | 1 | 201 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
242 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
243 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
244 | 258 | 256 | 301 | Does this human know of the danger? Or perhaps the human is their leader? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
245 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
246 | 260 | 258 | 301 | The human looks away after a quiet glance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
247 | 261 | 259 | 301 | No. 21 | ... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
248 | 262 | 260 | 301 | That one glance has No. 21 relax her alerted, tensed body. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
249 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
250 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
251 | 265 | 263 | 401 | 2 | 1515 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
252 | 266 | 264 | 301 | AniZhuanchangBegin | Vera | ...21? You done spacing out? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
253 | 267 | 265 | 101 | Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/Bgstory261.png | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
254 | 268 | 267 | 301 | AniZhuanchangEnd | No. 21 retracts her gaze. The sense of security is back. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
255 | 269 | 268 | 201 | 1 | 500328 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
256 | 270 | 269 | 301 | 1 | No. 21 | Yes, Capt. | 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
257 | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
258 | 272 | 271 | 301 | Whatever lies ahead, No. 21 does not run away. She confronts them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
259 | 273 | 272 | 301 | 1 | AniZhuanchangBegin | No. 21 | No. 21 is ready. Awaiting orders. | 1 |
