RO635: Guys, we’ve got the supplies. Time to regroup!
The rescue party is going to arrive at the heliport! We’ll just have to hang in there for a bit longer and make it through the Sangvis base-

Architect: Heheh… Only “about to arrive”?

UMP45: …!

Gager: We’ve figured out the characteristics of encrypted Griffin signals.
You can no longer scuttle around under our noses...

Architect: ...nor break through our blockades head-on!
We’ve even come up with all the job delegation and defense stratagems!
Well? If you wanna surrender, I can consider keeping your neural cloud backups.

[Transmission terminated.]

G11: I-Is there no going home?

HK416: Shut up. Is this really the time to freak out?

M16A1: It IS a bit of a handful to engage two Sangvis Ringleaders at once...

UMP45: However…
I doubt they’d strike at the same time.
Someone has to guard the base and control the cannons.

RO635: That would be Architect.
If the rescue party can storm the base from the back…
UMP45, could you contact Helian?

UMP45: Helian said the rescue party is still several hours away.

RO635: Tough luck...
How can we hold off till then...

UMP45: My, my... Are things really that desperate?
In that case, leave it to us...

RO635: You...?

UMP45: Ja...
Aren’t we the perfect answer to this kind of thing?

M16A1: ...

[Five minutes later, M16 and RO635 are having a private conversation.]

M16A1: (Whispers) RO, remember what I said.

RO635: How could that be? They’re here to rescue us.
I heard that for Squad 404, the ends justify the means, but they have never failed.

M16A1: She is ONLY here to rescue US.
If you want everyone to make it safely to the heliport...don’t leave everything to her.
Remember. YOU are the one in command.

RO635: I may not be as experienced as you, M16, but do you have to be this wary?

M16A1: If we’re talking about the one with the foxy eyes, I’m actually worried that I’m not wary enough.

RO635: How about M4? What would she do?

M16A1: M4? She’d obviously listen to me.
Of course, you don’t necessarily have to do that, but you must make your own judgment.

[M16A1 pats RO lightly on the shoulder.]

RO635: …
My own judgment…
(Laughs helplessly) As if T-Dolls can have such a thing...
