<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>The Commander, who left the base early in the morning to do shopping in the city, has returned in high spirits.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
Why's everything so quiet? Something doesn't feel right...
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>... 12 hours ago.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
Kalin, I'm heading out to buy some presents.<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
Remember to make up a sensible cover story.<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
Make sure to keep this a surprise!<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/1/16/Character_Profile_Kalina.png" class="" style="position:absolute;left:15%;top:15%;width:70%"/><img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Kalina
Leave it to me, Commander!<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>The Commander preens in satisfaction at the newly procured pile of presents.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
Kalina should've helped me cover it up. I wonder how everyone will react to my surprise?<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>The Commander undergoes an ID check with the gate's security.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Gate Security
Welcome home, honored Commander!<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>The doors slide open, and the Commander is greeted with—
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>The base, blackened from fire...
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Soot-stained T-Dolls weeping into their arms...
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Presents, burnt into nothing but scattering ashes...
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>As well as—
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>The Commander's gaze shifts slowly to the bundle that was hanging in the air...
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
Who's that hanging from the ceiling and sobbing... Is that ART556?<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Kalina, with her face and hair streaked with ash, weakly approaches the Commander.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Kalina
Commander...<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>The Commander backs out of the base with a blank expression.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
What's going on? How did I get to the wrong base...<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
Haha, yeah, why would my base have ART556 hanging from the ceiling?<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
Still, I feel sorry for the commander of this base, it looks like it got blasted to bits by one of those military armored trains...<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
Come to think of it, that adjutant just now looked a bit like Kalina...<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>The Commander looks up at the serial number outside of the base.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
...<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>The Commander steps forward into the base once more.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Kalina, still with her face and hair streaked with ash, approaches the Commander again.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Kalina
C-Commander...<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE???!!!
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>After a brief explanation, the Commander finally calms down.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
Alright, stop crying, everyone. While I understand how all of you must feel...<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
Today's Christmas, which only comes once a year, so I'd like for everyone to be happy.<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
In fact, that's why I went out early this morning to buy presents for everyone—<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/e/e8/M21_costume1.png" class="" style="position:absolute;left:15%;top:15%;width:70%"/><img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>M21
M14, help me check my hearing modules, did I just imagine the Commander say something about buying us presents?<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/a/aa/M14_costume1.png" class="" style="position:absolute;left:15%;top:15%;width:70%"/><img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>M14
I think I heard that too...<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>At the look of disbelief on everyone's faces, the Commander clears their throat and repeats in a louder voice.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
I brought a Christmas tree and presents for everyone back with me.<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Commander
So, let's hurry and clean this mess up so we can have a party tonight.<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>The fire-ravaged base falls to silence for a moment, before quickly exploding into cheers.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/9/95/Suomi_costume1.png" class="" style="position:absolute;left:10%;top:15%;width:70%"/><img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Suomi
This is great! I'll be able to play my newest CD at the party!<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/d8/OTs-44_costume1.png" class="" style="position:absolute;left:10%;top:20%;width:70%"/><img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>OTs-44
Ah! You're the best, Commander!<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/a/a0/Colt_Revolver_costume1.png" class="" style="position:absolute;left:15%;top:20%;width:70%"/><img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>SAA
Woohoo! I've got a resupply for my cola!<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/0/0f/RFB_costume1.png" class="" style="position:absolute;left:15%;top:15%;width:70%"/><img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Am RFB
Is my present the game that just came out? It is, right?!<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/3/3f/Springfield_costume2.png" class="" style="position:absolute;left:10%;top:15%;width:70%"/><img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Springfield
Thank you for going through all this trouble to prepare a surprise for us, Commander.<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Just as the Commander was about to let out a sigh of relief, someone presses a communicator right into their face.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/6/67/Kalina_4.png" class="" style="position:absolute;left:15%;top:15%;width:70%"/><img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Kalina
Commander! We just picked up a Sangvis signal! It's very close, it's right—<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/a/a0/WA2000_costume2_D.png" class="" style="position:absolute;left:15%;top:15%;width:70%"/><img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>WA2000
AAAAAAHHHHHHH—<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Several Dinergates that had been lying in ambush suddenly charged out at the pile of presents that had been brought back by the Commander. Before the Commander could let out an order, they snatched the gifts up and fled in all directions.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>Recalling their anger at the S.F. Dinergate who had destroyed their presents just prior, the stunned T-Dolls regroup and rush out before the Commander can muster a response.
<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/7/75/CZ75_costume1.png" class="" style="position:absolute;left:15%;top:15%;width:70%"/><img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>CZ75
Get them!!!<img src="//iopwiki.com/images/4/4f/SVD_costume1.png" class="" style="position:absolute;left:10%;top:15%;width:70%"/><img src="//iopwiki.com/images/d/da/Story_dialoguebox.png" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;"/>SVD
You're dead, you miserable maggots!!!END
