Story/Automaton Annihilation (Part1)/Script

[1 week after the lightning strike, at Sector S09’s Griffin HQ.]

FN-FNC: ...I see, so you’re a soldier too?

Noel: Mm... I was confused after hearing about things on this side...

FN-FNC: I thought you’d be more fashionable, being from the future and all.

Noel: I, I’m sorry I disappointed you...
Still... you’re willing to believe what I have to say?

FN-FNC: Well, it’s not that I believe it, just that I don’t mind it...
To us dolls, all that matters is completing our mission.

Noel: Dolls... you really aren’t human.
If you’re robots, then do you have rocket punches and jet boosters and stuff?

FN-FNC: ...Do the robots in your world do that?

Noel: Er... well, maybe cyborgs would be more accurate than robots...

FAL: Looks like the two of you are getting along pretty well.

FN-FNC: Ah, FAL, is it time to eat yet?

FAL: There’ll be bread, but let’s talk about the mission first.
SF has been launching frenzied assaults on the surrounding area ever since the lightning strike.
We’ve been getting a lot of casualty reports from the fringes of Sector S09.
Also... there were sightings of someone with bunny ears among the SF units.

Noel: Bunny ears!? Could, could it be...

FAL: It’s hard to believe, but it looks like the girl you were talking about.

Noel: It has to be her! If I find her, I can go home!

FAL: While we don’t know the motives of that bunny girl...
The fact that she’s adding to the trouble like this is causing us a great deal of difficulty.
Since we both have her as an objective, you have no choice but to work with us for now.

Noel: That’s wonderful! There’s hope of going back at last!

FAL: My apologies, Vermilion-san. Please settle down a little.
You’re still under suspicion right now, and we won’t lift the restrictions on your actions.

Noel: Uuu... I’m sorry... I got carried away...

FAL: Our report has identified potential sites for the location of SF’s next attack.
Let’s go, everyone, and bring your eating utensils with you...
“Operation Rabbit Hunt” is about to begin.

[...]

FN-49: This, this is Point B... I’ve verified that the surrounding residents have evacuated.

FN-57: Finished checking Point C too. No problems here.

FAL: Very good. Now all we need to do now is lie in wait...

Intruder: An excellent display. I can feel your sincerity already.

FAL: Intruder? Why is it you!?

Intruder: Sorry, but I can’t let you see the “rabbit” just yet.
I trust you won’t mind me filling in for her?

FAL: It doesn’t matter if it’s you or the rabbit. You’re both on our target list.
Just that this time, we’re going to cross your name out ahead of time.

Intruder: Then I thank you for your hospitality. Do treasure this encounter of ours.

First Encounter
[The operation is in progress.]

FAL: How’s the front? Haven’t you settled it yet?

FN-FNC:No, it’s still not time yet! That Intruder’s really hard to handle!

FN-49: All we can do now is weaken her; we’re a long way off from defeating her.

FN-57: I recommend we withdraw for now and slowly deplete her supplies, FAL.

FAL: It can’t be helped. Rest and sort yourselves out - I’ll organize the next attack ASAP!
