Snowfall

The Teslovik Support Squad has arrived at the target location. Elite Squad, please send instructions.

You guys are finally here, Ugh!

Captain Sova! Are you engaged in battle with the enemy? Give us the coordinates! We'll be right there!

Hold on! Don't come here! There's... Official member... Sss...

The signal's lost. What do we do, Captain?

Did you leave your brains at home when you came out today?

Contact HQ to locate Sova's Comms Device.

Then we set out and rescue them.

Phew. Captain Stara would be popular if she didn't have that sharp tongue.

Captain! HQ found Captain Sova's location!

It's the location of Sova's Comms Device.

You need to deliver accurate messages, or it can easily lead to accidents.

Yes, Captain Stara.

Captain, we have to turn left ahead and go through that street.

You can donate your eyes if you're not using them. Look at the route before you give directions. There are enemies ahead.

Enemies spotted!

It's Rasparta's foot patrol soldiers! They've spotted us!

Get ready.

Damn... Teslovik...

Wait, Captain! I can link to Captain Sova now.

Rasparta should have put up a network block. We're inside, within their range.

Contact Sova immediately, if she's still alive, that is.

Captain Sova! Can you hear me?

Yes, Stara, loud and clear.

Good. You guys do your best to stay alive until we get there.

Actually, I don't think there's much point in your guys coming. The enemy is an official member of Rasparta...

We will do our best to gather as much intel as we can on them. You must get this intel back!

You spoke too late.

I see you, Captain Sova.

Wait for us, Captain Sova! We're coming!

Be careful, you guys. We see an official member charging at you!

There's more than one official member of Rasparta?

What are they trying to do this time?

All of you, stop!

Gah... She's strong... But she's blindfolded! We almost lost...

No, she really is blind.

What the... The official members of Rasparta aren't all disabled, are they?

Forget about that official member. Let's look for Sova first.

Please wait a minute, Captain. I feel weird in my shoulder.

Are you injured or something?

Sorry for being in such a rush. How about we take a break now?

No need to get nervous, Captain! It's just a minor discomfort...

I wasn't nervous. It's just what I'm supposed to do!

Ugh...!

Captain Sova! Support team, reporting in!

We don't have time for that. We have to leave, now.

Why?

Because the Celestial is coming!

That's the other official member of Rasparta. They have monstrous strength!

I think I see that Celestial you're talking about.

Run!

Just what is that Celestial...

It's a literal Celestial. The Celestial of the Nebu Alliance's Golden Marsh Tribe, Wadjet.

I'd guessed that the people of Nebu were related to Rasparta in some way, but I didn't expect that she would be an official member of Rasparta.

A Celestial of Nebu...

I was targeted by her after Eriri, Snezhana, and I regrouped, and there were several instances where she could have just eliminated us, but didn't.

That monster is chasing us and relishing it.

Then what do we...

I have a plan.

(Before the Support team arrived at the location.)

Captain, bad news! My Comms Device is broken!

Why am I on the same Squad as such idiots? I'll lend you mine... Hm?

Mine's broken too.

So what do we do?

Let's see if it can be fixed.

I'll try fixing it by referring to the manual.

I see. The normal signal band has been blocked. Change it to the encrypted band and it will work like normal.

Fixed!

I fixed it, Captain! We just have to switch to the encrypted band.

...

Captain, why did you take the Comms Device apart? Can you put it back?

...If we need to contact anyone later, you do it.

Yes, Captain.

Let's hold off a bit on the Captain's plan. I saw Rasparta men slowly surrounding us.

Our location has been compromised. It's the Diviner.

What do we do?

We can't stay in one place for too long. Let's discuss countermeasures while we run.

No problem.

Before we do, let's deal with these soldiers surrounding us.

Charge!

They found out we're moving!

Keep moving at all times, starting now.

They're not catching up.

We just have to keep moving, and that Diviner is of no use.

Let's continue with the plan I mentioned earlier.
