1. Restless
9 linesRing-ring, ring-ring.
Niz.
(Sigh)... Mori, I hope you're not calling me to tell me to go to bed. I was just about to fall asleep.
Yulia has escaped.
...
Did you hear me?
I heard you. (Sigh)... I just wish I'd gone to bed 10 minutes ago, then at least I'd have got some sleep.
I'll be with you in half an hour. Try to get some rest.
Very funny.
2. Stage 7-1, before the battle
9 lines
Nervous, Awakener?
Why would I be nervous?
I admire your confidence. Not many candidates face their final test with such equanimity.
Final test?
Pass this test today and you'll become an official team member. You'll be able to go out on missions.
WHAT?! Nobody told me!
It's the best way of determining your actual ability.
But I'm not ready!
Enough chit-chat. Now enter the VR Training Unit!
3. Stage 7-10, before the battle
15 linesLieutenant.
G-general! W-what are you doing here?!
I-I-I... I'm not ready! is it the budget? You're not cutting the budget, are you?!
Ten-hut!
Yes!
At ease! Relax, Lieutenant. I'm not here about the budget.
I have a big problem and only you can fix it.
What?
There is civil unrest in Vologda and it's spreading towards the central city of Stoker.
And that's our problem because...
Yulia was able to incite a revolt in three different districts, by means of radio transmitters alone.
The residents in those locations are generally peace-loving and there were no previous signs of discontent.
How interesting! I mean... Oh no! That's terrible!
It is strange. That's why I was hoping you would be able to investigate.
Yes ma'am! You can count on me.
4. Stage 7-10, after the battle
15 linesEveryone! Stop what you're doing and meet me at Ops in 10 minutes!
Hm? What's happened?
Looks serious. Let's go.
10 minutes later...
Awakener, how was the final test?
Not too bad.
Well, no matter how good the VR is, it's nothing like real battle.
The true worth of a warrior only becomes apparent during a real battle.
Sova! Eriri! Snezhana! Awakener! Step forward!
Yes!
You four will form the Teslovik task force.
Your mission will be to investigate the cause of the Stoker uprising and confirm the whereabouts of the rebel leader Yulia and her henchmen.
You have one hour to prepare. Well... What are you waiting for?!
Understood!
Ah... Takes me back to my first mission. Exhilarating.
