Story/Cube+/E1-2 (Part3)/Script

[AAT-52 reaches the highlands.]

AAT-52: Psst… M4? You still there?

M4A1: Any discovery, AAT?

AAT-52: I’m currently in the Highland Archive and detecting Executioner’s transmission signal.
Executioner should still be miles away in the command post, which means her transmission device is right here!

M4A1: Understood. Can you pinpoint its precise location?

AAT-52: I’m feeling my way forward...

[...Poof!]

AAT-52: Whoa!

M4A1: What is it, AAT?!

AAT-52: The lights…
The lights in the archive have all suddenly gone out!

M4A1: Don’t panic. Access the situation first.
Do you have a flashlight or night vision glasses with you?

AAT-52: I do, but neither is working...

M4A1: Could this be an enemy electromagnetic attack…?
Any sign of Sangvis movement?

AAT-52: Uhh…nothing seems out of the ordinary…
But there are too many of them. I’m kinda stuck.
There’s no way I can find the device this way. Anyone wanna give me a hand?

M4A1: It’s too dangerous to continue the search. This could very well be what the enemy is waiting for.
AAT, you are advised to retreat.

AAT-52: That’ll be too much of a challenge in the dark...
Ughh… Am I gonna die in such a cold, dark place…?

Colt Revolver: Does AAT need help?
I’m pretty close. Why don’t I give it a try?

Super SASS: No, let me do it. I specialize in disarming explosives.

M4A1: Do you think this is a good idea, M99?

M99: Hmm…we are running low on both time and manpower. I think we should take a more proactive approach.
Besides, opportunities of putting Executioner out of action are hard to come by...

M4A1: There will be other opportunities. It doesn’t have to be now.
If we alert her to our presence...

Super SASS: It’ll be fine. She’s still on patrol and I doubt she’ll be quicker than me.

M4A1: (That’s right. Even if Executioner starts moving, I can intercept her, so she can’t make it to the highlands right away.)
(Also, Hunter and Executioner both seem to be deprived of their own consciousness, so they shouldn’t notice the infiltration too soon…)
(However…have I really taken everything into consideration?)

AAT-52: Hey, how long are you gonna keep deliberating? Come get me!

M4A1: …
(Does it all come down to my decision again…?)
(I suppose I should have faith in their ability...)
Super SASS, you go rescue AAT-52.

Super SASS: Roger that!
AAT-52, I’ll be there soon!

[…]

M4A1: (Will this do?)
(Perhaps making some decision is better than making none at all…)
I just...have to think about it this way, right...?
