1. Target Nebu
9 linesThe room is filled with Echo Crystals that glimmer with foreboding red light.
At the center of the room there is a round platform. On the platform stand several Cases.
What is Wadjet doing here?
What? You got a problem with me?
Quiet.
I have asked you here today, because there is something we must decide together.
What's up?
Another Northern Campaign?
I'm going to reconvene the Gift of Waters.

The Gift of Waters?
The Gift of Waters is a traditional Nebu Alliance festival. It's not a major one and they stopped celebrating it following the Calamity.
The Nebu Alliance has reached an impasse. The next stage requires careful planning and cannot be rushed. They have started exploring spiritual matters.
What does the Gift of Waters have to do with the Great Relic?
Well, in the lead up the people of Nebu will be very busy making preparations for the festival. It's the perfect opportunity for you guys to infiltrate.
Infiltrate? Nebu?
Are they certain?
An unclear message, and Rasparta has started to act. It's clearly a trap set by Rasparta!
Don't put it that way! Even if you don't get the intel, you will still be able to retreat, right?
Noooo! It's not that simple! This is Nebu Alliance!
Don't be afraid, Eriri. You must give it a try since there's a lead!
What gives you, who has never even left Bifrost, this much confidence...?
I just... think... it'll be fine...
Not bad Rookie! If you can get the lead on the Great Relic component this time, I'll let you be the squad leader, what do you think?
This is too casual...
It's very casual indeed...
Hahahaha, anyway, good luck!
3. Stage 41-10, before the battle
15 linesNot long before Fenriru received the agent's intel.
Truly, what could Teslovik have that could make an Elite Case want to throw away her own life?
...
Not a word since she was captured?
Correct, Your Lordship.
Such loyalty. It's quite moving actually.
Has the encryption algorithm she used to send messages to Teslovik been decoded?
We found the encryption algorithm and decoded it, but the messages...
That will do.
Send Teslovik a message, using her identity.
Tell them Rasparta has new information concerning a Relic Component that can be used for ''material decomposition''.
...!
Even if we get the message through to Teslovik, they may not...
They will come. Our dear leader's proposal to reconvene the Gift of Water was passed unanimously yesterday.
Who knows when they will get another opportunity like this. They won't miss it.
4. Stage 41-10, after the battle
12 linesFenriru holds Sova back.
There's another thing I didn't mention.
Another thing?
It's got to do with Awakener. It could be a trap, so I didn't mention it.
Still, it would be better if someone else knew about it.
What?
The Relic Component in Nebu might be capable of ''material decomposition''.
What?!
Calm down. All we know for sure is Rasparta wanted us to know this information.
The Relic Component probably exists, but ''material decomposition'' could be bait, intended to draw us in.
Don't mention it to Awakener, until we know for sure.
...I understand.
