??: M4...
...
M4A1...

M4A1: ...
I... Where am I...
...!
This...
A... AR...

ST AR-15: Don't squirm.
You're really heavy.

M4A1: ...
Is that... really you?

ST AR-15: Don't move your head. Hearing my voice should be enough, right?

M4A1: Why...
...I don't believe it!
AR-15... You... you're alive?!

ST AR-15: Let's get out of here first. I'll explain it to you afterward.

M4A1: But why... Why did you show up here and now...

ST AR-15: I have a mission of my own. Running into you was simply a coincidence.
But... I guess it's not a bad thing.

M4A1: Put me down, I'll walk on my own.

ST AR-15: I wouldn't need to carry you if you could walk.

M4A1: ...?!
My body... is not responding...?

ST AR-15: If you want to blame someone for it, she's standing beside me...
Something went wrong when she disconnected you. It caused slight damage to your neural module, so your ability to move has been temporarily restricted.

AK-12: Da, da, it's kind of my fault, which is why I'm carrying this case for you.
Still, it's also your own people's fault for installing such sophisticated modules in an outdated T-Doll, right?

M4A1: That's... Whose voice is that?

AK-12: Tactical Doll AK-12, from Task Force DEFY.

M4A1: DEFY...? What do you do?
AR-15, are you one of them now?

ST AR-15: I've got a new employer. Don't really have much choice in the matter.
Her name's Angelia. You've met her before.

M4A1: Ange...lia...?
...You mean the woman who helped me enter the combat zone?
How about the others?
What about SOP-II... and RO?

ST AR-15: ...Now's not the time to think about them. Sangvis elites are still around.
Focus on what's in front of you, keep quiet, and fall back with me.

M4A1: ...
SOP-II...
RO...
I... remember...
I saw RO and...
No! I can't... I can't leave them behind!
Put me down! Let me go back!

ST AR-15: Keep still! In your current condition, S.F. will capture you before you can take more than a few steps if I let you go!

M4A1: And whose fault is it that I'm like this?!

ST AR-15: We had no choice but to sever your Level II connection in order to break the link between you and the people monitoring you.

M4A1: The people monitoring me?
...Who? Who's monitoring me?

ST AR-15: Did you really think Sangvis Ferri was our only enemy?

M4A1: What... What exactly is going on...
Isn't Griffin's mission... to wipe out Sangvis Ferri...?
I... I abandoned my teammates and my objective...

ST AR-15: Whatever you want to do, get some rest first.
We'll give you the power you want after that...

M4A1: ...

ST AR-15: M4?

AK-12: There was too much strain on her neural cloud. She couldn't sustain her Level I surface consciousness.

ST AR-15: What a mess...
Go on, AK-12. Tell me what you found on the scene...

AK-12: Nothing but bad news.
First off, M4 SOPMOD II's missing. I'm certain she's not in the vicinity, and there were no clues around which could tell us about her current status.

ST AR-15: ...

AK-12: Was I too direct?

ST AR-15: Better to be more direct...
How about RO? I saw her...

[... AK-12 sighs.]

AK-12: RO635 has completely ceased to function, so...

ST AR-15: ...
I... I won't forgive them for this.
Also, about what I said regarding the recovery of the fallen Dolls' neural module...

AK-12: RO635's was completely removed.
I'm certain it happened after she was killed.

ST AR-15: ...
Could this be good news...

AK-12: Look on the bright side. Maybe SOP-II avoided the ambush and left with RO's neural module.
Would you be satisfied with that answer?

ST AR-15: ...
I would very much like to assume that is the case.

AK-12: Naturally, I'd advise you against having that idea, lest you end up disappointed.
But this is no time to think about others.
There are two S.F. squads around us, at 11 o'clock and five o'clock respectively. The terrain nearby is such a mess so we can't go around them. We'll probably have to take them out.

ST AR-15: Can you really scout the battlefield while making small talk?

AK-12: Are you looking down on me, or overestimating yourself?

ST AR-15: Neither. We'll let the results of the battle speak for themselves.
(M4... if you knew the state the AR Team was in...)
(What... would you do?)
