Arknights story · Episode 1: Evil Time Part 2

1-6 Catastrophe

A woman stands atop a tall building and takes in the herculean efforts of the Doctor and the rescue squad. Then, as if responding to her poetic words, the sky sank into a pool of blood.

Indeed. They don't know that Faust is following them. I received some information from one of his scouts.

Rhodes Island is trapped around the perimeter of the city center.

Insects as they might be, they still might take advantage of the confusion caused by the Catastrophe to make their escape.

Given their understanding of the situation in Chernobog, they could potentially interfere with our plans.

... At least, getting rid of them won't do us any harm.

Reunion Member

Chernobog bastards! It's because of you, it's all your fault... that us Infected became like this!

Dobermann

Get lost!

Reunion Member

Ugh!

Dobermann

These people, it's like they're just waiting to die! !

Nearl

Why is Reunion going completely berserk?

Dobermann

Why are they sending so many members out here now?!

This makes no sense! There's no reason for them to be defending this place so staunchly!

Nearl

Rhodes Island Operators, stand your ground! Push Reunion back and open up an escape route!

???

So that's the 'Rhodes Island' that I've been hearing so much about? Heh... How heroic.

Medic

...Huh?

Guard

... Falling rocks? At a time like this?

Dobermann

Don't stop moving! Maintain our defensive line!

Guard

Something's not right... These rocks are coming from the buildings...

Dobermann

What are you talking about...

Reunion Member

It's here! It's here!

Ahaha... salvation has come for us! Judgment day has come!

Ahhh, arghhhh--*CRASH!*

Ahhh, arghhhh--*CRASH!*

Dobermann

...

They were... crushed by something?

Was it one of you... who attacked them?

Or were they...

Amiya

Dobermann! Look, the sky...!

Nearl

...

The sky was dyed a bloody crimson...

'Boiling dark clouds, tumbling in flames...'

Ace

Don't panic!

Nearl

Keep your senses about you!

Dobermann

... We still can make it out of this alive if we act decisively!

???

'...As terror strips away their voices, the land falls into silence.'

'The titanic Originium lowers its head...'

'...and falls upon the scorched shadow of death.'

Crownslayer

Talulah.

Talulah

...

Crownslayer

What do we do next?

Talulah

... Perhaps they will be able to survive the Catastrophe.

Finish off the stragglers.

Crownslayer

Very well.

Dobermann

Even though I figured that Reunion would be using the Catastrophe to take their revenge...

I didn't expect them to use it to completely destroy Chernobog...

Rather than vengeance, this seems more like a manifesto...

Something about the Era of the Infected... or something like that?

Medic

Aaaahh...

The entire sky... is crashing down...

Guard

Watch out! !

Medic

What's that...

Amiya

Be more alert!

Medic

-- Oh!

Amiya

Protect the Medic - hurry and take her someplace safe!

Guard

Roger!

Ace

All operators, find cover!

Amiya

All teams, prepare to... weather the Catastrophe!
