Three hours since the start of the retreat...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

ST AR-15
...Finally, we meet.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
What, you don't want to see me?

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
??
The one I want to see is M4A1 of Griffin.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
She has already been retrieved by Griffin. You can't get your hands on her.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
After all, you can barely protect yourself...with whatever troops you have left, can you?

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
AR-15 raises her weapon and takes aim at the figure before her.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
...A large number of Sangvis units swarm into the building.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Still...so many cards up your sleeve...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
You...really are something.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Sorry. You had too many chances, but you let them all slip by.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
That's why I've come to stop you. Because if you set your mind on it, you could very well do it...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
You're...a most dangerous one...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Capable of commanding so many units simultaneously with just a simple gesture...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
There is only one who has even higher commanding efficiency than Agent...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
You are...the Sangvis Mastermind, aren't you?

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
...Sangvis recon aircrafts start firing all of a sudden.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Cough...What a light tickle...from the leader of Sangvis Ferri...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Even M16's punch...hurt much more...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
“Mastermind”
You should not have deceived me.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
“Mastermind”
You have an upright personality. That was why you have been chosen as the experimental subject of Parapluie.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
“Mastermind”
I believed you would keep your word, that you would deliver M4A1 to me.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Your database could use some updating, young lady...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
16Lab's technology is far beyond your imagination. Even Parapluie can't have me at its mercy.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Not to mention, personality is just a mask. We can turn into anyone...for the sake of revenge...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
“Mastermind”
A T-Doll giving up its life for something other than its given orders...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
“Mastermind”
...How inexplicable.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Indeed... Of course you'd find it inexplicable...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Up until now... How much havoc have you wreaked?! How many of my companions have you hurt?!

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
“Mastermind”
I am merely doing what I believe is right.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
And so it's war, young lady from Sangvis Ferri...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
This is not a game of toy bricks on the floor of your house. Everyone has to pay their price.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
If you still don't understand, let me teach you in a more straightforward way...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
“Mastermind”
A detonator...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
“Mastermind”
So those explosives are prepared for me...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Next time, please know the difference between a battlefield and a negotiation table.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
But this time, please just die.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
“Mastermind”
This...means nothing to me.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
I know, of course... But I still want to get this off my chest...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Go to hell, Sangvis scum!

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
You know, M4A1, the first time I set eyes on this world, I was buzzing with thrill and curiosity.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
I'm not just any mass-produced T-Doll fabricated by IOP. I'm an elite developed by 16Lab itself.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
My biggest wish was to carry out many noble orders and make friends with many strong T-Dolls.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Back then, I thought as long as I worked hard, I would become a shining star.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
But soon enough, my order came - I am to obey your command, and be forever shackled with the AR Team...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
The dumb and loud SOP-II, devil-may-care M16, and you, who can never seem to make up your mind...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
From that moment, all my possibilities were obliterated.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
I hate all of you, but I was powerless against my order.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
But no matter. It actually doesn't matter, 'cause I just have to keep talking and doing things, and you'll end up needing me.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
No matter what you're like, as long as you need me, as long as I can rediscover my worth, I'm okay...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
In self-abandonment, I have always been exploiting your kindness and doing such horrid things...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
I'm so sorry. Only at the moment when I must leave you...did I realize my wish had been fulfilled long ago...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
I feel wholeheartedly glad...of every single person we've met, and every single thing we've done along the way...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Which is why I must do something, so long as I can buy even just one second for you guys, so long as I can save one more companion...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
It isn't much of an atonement since it's not face-to-face, but surely you'll still accept it through this video feed...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
M4A1... I have finally paid off what I owe you, haven't I?

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
That is my final wish. With that, I no longer owe this world anything, right?

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
But I can't stop thinking about how you'll burst into tears when you see me, the wimp that you are...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
...I've been under the command of such a spineless weakling all this time... Seriously, how many times have you dragged me down?

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
I really should hate you, shouldn't I...?

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Sadly, the time has come for us to part, M4A1. There's no time to keep such petty scores.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
You may feel sad; you may feel angry... You may remember me; or you may forget me...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Whatever the case, just let this memory give your strength and make you even stronger...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
ST AR-15
Well...take care, my friend...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
...Soon after that, M16A1 drags me back onto the aircraft carrier...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
At that moment, the propellers of the aircraft were exceptionally grating on the ear compared to the distant sound of barrage, buildings collapsing, and the shouts of Griffin T-Dolls...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
They have shredded something in the bottom of my heart...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
A tiny wish... A promise with a dear friend...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
And the mask worn by a soul...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
Master, I just reviewed your battle records...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
AR-15 caused an explosion in the building which has rendered the rest of your battle units immobile.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
Griffin troops have already retreated into the distance. Please terminate the operation today.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Mastermind
Sorry, Agent. I failed.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
You have no reason to apologize. It is all due to my own incompetence.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
(Sighs) I should have sent a few more Ringleaders to your aid, knowing that M4 was literally within your grasp.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
But at least now you understand that battles cannot be won through superiority in strength alone.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Mastermind
You knew this would happen all along?

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
This is not your forte, that is why we are here.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
Losing a few units is worth it if it helps you understand this.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Mastermind
Did they...sacrifice themselves of their own accord?

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
They did it as per your will and your order - as would we.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
Therefore, Master...please give us orders. Use us to your heart's content in doing whatever it is that you desire.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Mastermind
But I still don't quite get...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Mastermind
What AR-15 said. I wish I could've asked her more on that.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
I just checked. Your dummy was destroyed in the explosion.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
I doubt anyone could survive one of such destructiveness.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Mastermind
What about your operation, Agent? Is it going smoothly?

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
Affirmative. In substitution of AR-15, another Griffin T-Doll has already been planted with the Parapluie program.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
Inspection shows that the jammer has successfully transferred the jamming module onto the target. The operation is confirmed to be a success.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Agent
As for when to activate it, I recommend holding off till we make our next move.

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Mastermind
Understood. This time I'll be more patient...

<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>
Mastermind
Until...I really get to meet M4A1...

END
