1. Before Operation

Dobermann

...This is way beyond my expectations...

Explosions, rioting, fires, fighting in the streets...

Has Chernobog completely fallen into chaos?

TV Host

Thanks to the swift response and teamwork of the Chernobog Military Police...

...the situation is largely under control. The incidents in most areas have already been contained.

Currently, the Military Police has already surrounded the thugs who had taken Vaschuk Prospect.

As you can see, this senseless violence is about to be put to an end.

Please do not panic. Stay indoors, and await another victory for Chernobog...

May the glory of Ursus bless the Emperor and his people!

Reunion Member

...

Ursus Guard

Curse them... where the hell did they get those kinds of equipment and weapons?!

Ursus Captain

Don't get scared! Cowards in armor are still just cowards! They're just a bunch of untrained thugs!

Ursus Guard

But... there are so many of them...! !

Ursus Captain

We've already taken out forces three times the size of ours! Just do it again, and the battle will be over!

Reunion Member

Enough with the nonsense, Chernobog scum!

Ursus Captain

You filth think you can stand against us? !

Exile and hard labor are too good for your kind. We should have executed the lot of you the moment you were captured!

Reunion Member

How dare you...! !

Ursus Guard

Ugh...! They're rushing us again. Our front lines won't hold out much longer!

Ursus Captain

For the Emperor! Stand your ground! !

Ursus Guard

I... I can't do it anymore...!

Ursus Captain

Anyone who turns tail will be executed on the spot!

Ursus Guard

*cough* *cough*...

Guard

We have to...

Dobermann

Stay put! We must not expose ourselves yet!

Amiya

The Ursus guards... are getting overwhelmed by Reunion?

Dobermann

Hmph... What they're broadcasting on television can't be farther from the truth.

Even in this situation, the Chernobog authorities are still playing their games.

But things are getting worse for us too. We can't expect to sneak out anymore.

Amiya

Terrible road conditions and enemy blockades... We won't be able to use our own vehicles anymore...

Dobermann

That's right. The rescue team must be large enough to clear out any Reunion members that block our way.

Splitting up any further would be suicide.

Guard

These Ursus guards...

They might look powerful because they're well-equipped, but Reunion...

Reunion clearly has an overwhelming advantage in numbers and morale!

Dobermann

This is nothing like when we first investigated Chernobog...

When we sneaked in, the quantity, distribution, and status of Chernobog's guards and military were in a very bizarre state.

Back then, we just couldn't figure out why.

Guard

Had Reunion already destroyed most of Chernobog's defenses at that point?

Dobermann

Though I don't have any proof, if Reunion has grown powerful enough to launch such a large-scale operation...

... All I can say is that I feel lucky those guards are being surrounded, instead of us.

Of course, we must be vigilant of our surroundings. By the time we end up in a crisis, it'll already be too late--

Amiya

... Doctor, hurry and gather your teams.

Our scouts have discovered Reunion forces. They're about to come in contact with our rescue team!

Dobermann

For now, being cautious is the only advantage we can get.

Reunion Member

Hmm?

Why is there an armed force here? !

Dobermann

All teams, prepare for combat! Don't give them any chance to retaliate!

2. After Operation

Guard

Ugh... Gahh...

Those Reunion goons... sure are energetic!

Ursus Captain

Who are you people?

Why are you in Chernobog at a time like this?!

Guard

Huh? Wh-what's going on--

Ursus Captain

Are you spies?!

Dobermann

(If our identities get revealed and the Ursus government starts to keep an eye on us, the consequences would be unfathomable!)

(If it comes down to it...!)

Amiya

Sir.

Ursus Captain

... A little girl?

You're... an Infected?

Stop right there! Put down your weapon!

Dobermann

(Be ready to back her up. If they show any signs of hostility...)

(Smoke? Where did it come from...?)

Amiya

Sir, surely you understand that we have a common enemy!

Dobermann!

Dobermann

Defenders! They're attacking!

Ursus Captain

Wh-what?!

???

......

Amiya

Reunion... they're here.

Dobermann

Amiya, be careful...

She's on a completely different level compared to those ordinary thugs!

???

Hmph. Trying to run...?

Where do you think you're going?

Go. Tear them apart.

Reunion Member

...

Dobermann

Even her minions seem like they're well-trained...

Could she be Reunion's ringleader?

Amiya

The haze is getting thicker and thicker... are they planning to utilize it to launch a surprise attack?

Sir, we have to evacuate immediately!

If they manage to cut off our escape route, we'll all...

Ursus Captain

...

Get lost, Infected.

Ursus Captain

I was tasked with defending this street.

Rabbit, I don't care why you came here or what you plan to do.

If you plan to ruin our city, know that someone will come after you. The rage of Ursus is never-ending.

If not, then what happens here is none of your business.

Amiya

... I understand.

Ursus Captain

Everybody in Ursus knows to never turn their back to the enemy.

Now scram! We don't have time to deal with you.

Amiya

...

Thank you.

Dobermann!

Dobermann

Hurry! Let's get to the first rendezvous point!

All teams, move out! Quick!

???

......

Ursus Captain

Come at us, Infected filth!

Is that all you're capable of? Are you just going to stand there staring at us?

???

All Chernobogians...

Must die.
