The '''Elmo''' is a Mobile Construction Vehicle<ref name=PR39>{{cite|gfl|pr|E3-9}}</ref> (MCV, sometimes “MBV”<ref name=LS27 />), originally owned by [[IOP]], then passed on to [[Griffin & Kryuger]] and to [[the Commander]], who uses it as the main base of their bounty hunting operation. It is named after Saint Elmo (Erasmus of Formia), the Christian patron saint of sailors, protecting them from storms and lightning.

==Design==
The Elmo is a superheavy tracked vehicle externally resembling an industrial structure painted yellow and dark grey, with a white [[Griffin & Kryuger]] logo on the sides.

Looking at its main artwork, it appears to be moved by twin rows of 10-wheeled tracks, with four rows on each side, potentially making it a 16-tracks vehicle. It appears to be articulated at about a fourth of its total length from the front. On its forward face, a shield at ground level serves to create a path through minor obstacles. Two sets of five headlamps, plus two headlamps near the top, provide forward-facing illumination. A large circular structure with glowing orange parts of unknown nature make up the most of the front side. A command and observation bay, which is where the main menu of [[Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium]] takes place, provides direct visibility at the top.

The Elmo is large enough to house and deploy several jeeps,<ref>{{cite|gfl|ss|E3-2}}</ref> and also carries a repair workshop for [[Tactical Doll]]s.<ref name=Sum1 />

==In [[Girls' Frontline]]==
During the events in Berlin, [[Griffin Lyons]] asked [[Havier Witkin]] from [[IOP]] to dispatch the Elmo to the [[Griffin & Kryuger]] Area S09 base. Its stated mission was to transport Griffin reinforcements from the Neo-[[Soviet Union]] to [[Germany]] to participate in the planned [[Battle of the Dead Sea]] against [[Paradeus]].<ref name=PR39 /> It would later be revealed to be a trap.

After the G&K base was leveled by the [[KCCO]] during the [[Fireworks Incident]] in the night of 3 to 4 October 2064, the Elmo picked up the G&K survivors,<ref>{{cite|gfl|pr|E6-6, E6-12}}</ref> but was stopped at the German border when [[Statesec]]'s entry permit was refused<ref>{{cite|gfl|fp|E1-4}}</ref> and they were accused of trafficking illegal technology.<ref>{{cite|gfl|es|E7}}</ref> This was a ploy from Griffin, who was trying to stop the Commander from commencing the battle,<ref>{{cite|gfl|fp|E2-5}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|fp|E3-7}}</ref> but the Commander's allies in the [[Stasi]] resolved the situation.<ref>{{cite|gfl|fp|E4-2}}</ref> Passing through the Red Zone east of Poznań, the Elmo intervened to rescue the passengers and Statesec agents on the “Future”, the intercontinental train which had been attacked by the KCCO and [[Paradeus]].<ref name=LS27>{{cite|gfl|ls|27}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|ls|31, 34, 35}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|ls|34}}</ref> 

The Elmo picked up the Commander in Berlin and arrived in the Dead Sea as Operation Aeneas concluded.<ref>{{cite|gfl|ss|E3-1}}</ref> It served as the command center for Operation Muromets until [[Avernus]] was destroyed on 23 October 2064. As the Elmo left the Dead Sea, it was targeted by a powerful EMP attack and the Commander, [[Dandelion]] and the prisoner [[William]] seemingly vanished. Following a tip from {{doll name|Stevens M520|SG|5}}, {{doll name|AR-18|AR|5}} directed the Elmo towards Frankfurt, but encountered new enemies outside the Dead Sea.<ref name=Sum1>{{cite|gfl|summer|E1}}</ref>

==In [[Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium]]==
The Elmo was considered the property of [[Griffin & Kryuger]] at the time the PMC was disbanded and downsized by the [[URNC]]. [[The Commander]] took it and left to become a bounty hunter.<ref>[https://gf2exilium.sunborngame.com/main GFL2 official website]</ref>
