Story/Normal 8-2 (Part1)/Script

[...Some time later, Area S02.]

RO635: There. The jamming signal has been eliminated.
We’ll now enter Base 0...

M16A1: Hold on, RO.
I suggest tapping into the Sangvis communication channel just to be safe.
We might be able to acquire important information while we’re still undetected.

RO635: Hacking their network might expose our location. I don’t recommend this course of action.

M16A1: RO, if S.F. has been waiting for us all along, it’s total annihilation we’re talking about.

RO635: ...
Fine. I suppose this is necessary.

Persica: Uh...RO, sync the signal to the public encrypted channel.

RO635: These are all merely battle signals, Miss Persica. They won’t be useful to you.

Persica: (Sighs) If you won’t let me do extra things, then at least let me listen in...
It’d be nice to save unexpected discoveries for the future.

M16A1: Do as Persica says, RO. The Commander needs that information too, after all.

RO635: ...Understood.
Signal bait ejected. Syncing with S.F. network complete.
Receiving. Keep your ears perked...

[...A lively melody comes through.]

M4 SOPMOD II: What’s...this? Music?

M16A1: “Ciocârlia”, or “The Lark”. That’s an old Romanian children’s folk song.

M4 SOPMOD II: Wow! How did you know that?! M16 sure is amazing!

RO635: The point is...why is there music?

M16A1: Sangvis Ringleaders are also equipped with some kind of emotion modules. If she’s listening to music, she must have entered mandatory sleep mode to clear up her cache.

M4 SOPMOD II: Then it’s the perfect chance. We can move freely for now.

RO635: But unless she says something...we won’t know who we’re dealing with.

M16A1: S.F. can’t possibly put an inexperienced rookie T-Doll in charge of such an important guard duty.
Someone who’s crossed swords with Griffin several times, whose mental age is relatively young...

RO635: ...Destroyer. It can only be her.

M16A1: Humph. That’s not bad news, is it?

RO635: Commander, do you copy?
The Ringleader stationed at Area S02 is very likely to be Destroyer. Please adjust your battle strategies accordingly.
Now would you please help us go further in till we find a suitable base to launch the search.
