Story/Operation Cube/E1-2 (Part3)/Script
[...The battle is coming to an end.]
Hunter: I’m...at my limit...
Ouroboros...where are the reinforcements that you had promised earlier? The outpost is about to be overtaken!
Ouroboros: Even you should be aware that their target is you, right, Hunter?
It goes without saying that leaving you there is the easiest way to protect the jammer.
Hunter: Ouroboros...
You... You knew this was going to happen, and you intended to abandon me right from the beginning, didn’t you?
Ouroboros: Hunter, do you know how I was created?
Pitted against thousands of AIs in thousands of chess deathmatches, I was the only one to survive.
From what I can see, your value as a pawn has been exhausted.
Hunter: War is not chess! You’re neglecting too many factors, Ouroboros! You will soon regret this!
Ouroboros: I take everything into consideration to reach my most desired results.
....It is unfortunate for you that this is the result.
2612-1192a2516-31913, initiate format command.
[Restarting host. Neural cloud backup in progress. Unable to connect to network. Unable to complete neural cloud backup. Switching to current access. Format complete.]
Ouroboros: Go to sleep, Hunter. I have no use for you anymore.
[Ten minutes later. Squad 404 arrives at Hunter’s location and begins to investigate the situation.]
HK416: Unable to wake up Hunter. No response at all.
UMP9: It’s all your fault, Gr G11. You should’ve shot her legs.
G11: Yeah, blame me all you want. You weren’t the one that had to make the shot...
UMP45: It’s not Gr G11’s fault. Someone even higher up than Hunter must’ve shut her down.
UMP9: Damn it! We went through so much trouble to defeat Hunter and we ended up with nothing!
G11: So we came for nothing. Wanna go home?
HK416: Let’s leave now...
Hear that? New enemy forces are closing in fast.
UMP45: Perhaps...they’re not after us?
HK416: Huh? What do you mean?
UMP45: I’ll be right back. 416, take everyone to the other side of the outpost and try to avoid the enemy.
Perhaps...there is still an opportunity.
