[...Combat over.]
Kalina: Finally. That's the last time, right? That's what you said, Miss Persica.
But we didn't find much, just this tape...
Persica: Ah! The tape! Show...Show it to me!
Kalina: Huh? Well... Could you play it, Commander?
All right, here it goes...
[...]
M4A1: Day 70 on the run. No progress at all... Or rather, the operation is in jeopardy...
...As I am being targeted by Sangvis troops.
I did expect Sangvis pursuit, but they are coming hot on my heels. Things are looking very bad...
I do not know how much longer I can keep this up. I have to get in touch with someone from Griffin as soon as possible.
[End of recording.]
Kalina: What...is this? Is it what you're looking for, Miss Persica?
Persica: ...
Kalina: Miss Persica?
Persica: AH!
Oh... Well...
In any case, thank you, Commander.
As expected of the ace that Helian thinks highly of. Hats off to you.
Helian: It doesn't matter how highly I think of the commander. It's up to Kryuger to decide who to focus on training.
Persica: Ah! True, the boss has the final say in everything. By the way...
Helian: By the way, Persica...
Was your mission accomplished?
Persica: Uh... Don't worry.
I've got the data. The results will be out in a mo.
Helian: Then please make haste. We're running out of time, as you well know.
Besides. we're not training the commander to help you find your beakers.
Persica: Hmm... Commander... Thanks for this time...
Next time I'll treat you to coffee...in my lab...
[Persica terminated the call...]
Helian: (Sighs) Unless you fancy drinking dirty water used for doing the dishes while sitting in a freezer, I'd suggest you forget it.
Let's get back on track, Commander.
Griffin is now assigning an important mission to you. I'll give you a detailed explanation...
