[Five hours after the end of the operation, outside the conference room at Griffin HQ.]
OTs-14: They’re still rambling on in there. How are you doing, Mosin-Nagant?
Mosin-Nagant: Hmm. I...I’ll be fine.
OTs-14: You must be bored out of your mind standing here like a china doll...while worrying about your sister...
Mosin-Nagant: Makarov’s on it so I have no reason to worry. But there’s still no news...
OTs-14: That area used to be an important base for Sangvis. It’d take time to figure it out.
Don't worry. Helian has even sent a commander to help them...
Mosin-Nagant: Hush... If the military catch wind of this...
OTs-14: You’re right. They won’t want us to use the commander for something like this.
Still, Helian actually dispatched a commander to save Nagant.
Mosin-Nagant: Da, I'm very grateful for her decision.
No matter why she did it or how it turns out...
Nagant Revolver: Haha, there you are, Mosin-Nagant!
Mosin-Nagant: Huh...?
Nagant Revolver: I made it back! Did you miss me?
OTs-14: Humph. Things seem to have turned out pretty well.
AK-47: Gosh... We’re dead beat.
SKS: But this reunion scene makes it all worthwhile.
Mosin-Nagant: Bolshoe spasibo, AK-47, SKS...
And...where’s Makarov?
Nagant Revolver: She’s off to see Helian. Got something important to report, I think.
AK-47: Is it the thingie you had in your hand? She took it with her.
SKS: What on earth is it? Is it really that valuable?
Nagant Revolver: That...
Is just a normal communicator, as far as I know.
[Meanwhile, in Helian's office.]
Helian: This operation was a huge success. You and the commander will receive your commendations very soon.
Makarov: Spasibo.
Forgive me for being presumptuous, but is there something special with this communication device?
Helian: Oh? You don't usually ask such questions.
Makarov: I’m just a little intrigued...by the order we received.
Helian: This is an item left behind by AR-15. We have reason to believe Sangvis might have tampered with it.
16LAB wishes to study it. It might just...become the key to our victory.
Makarov: ...I see.
We couldn’t have succeeded this time without the commander’s guidance.
Helian: I expected as much. So?
Makarov: If...
If Nagant hadn’t been in possession of this item, would you still have sent the commander to help us?
Helian: ...
Makarov, you...
(Smiles) You seem to have gained an interest in your own purpose.
Makarov: Da...
Or you could say, I have gained an interest...in ourselves.
