Story/Normal 5-6 (Part2)/Script

[In a control centre abandoned by Grifon, the last sanctum for the Sangvis unit Destroyer.]

Destroyer: …You hear that, Dreamer?! Grifon is moving much more quickly than expected!

Dreamer: …

Oh my… What are you yammering about?

Destroyer: Hurry! Stop them with your firepower!

Dreamer: …Huh? Why should I?

Destroyer: Isn’t that the deal?! Once my mission is accomplished, you’ll cover my retreat with air support!

Dreamer: Oh…

Then…have you accomplished your mission?

Destroyer: The assassination attempt on Kryuger failed, but that’s only to be expected.

More importantly, the programme planted into AR-15 is working. I found the data concerning Safe House 3 in her neural cloud.

All information required for Plan Parapluie is ready, so help me get outta here already!

Dreamer: But…if the mission is already accomplished, what’s the point in keeping your around?

Destroyer: What…

Dreamer: Say… We’re automatons, right?

Automatons are pretty much disposable goods, right?

I don’t really have to waste my precious babies on picking up some trash.

Destroyer: H…How could you?!

Dreamer: Well, even if you die, you’ll come back to life soon enough.

And you’ll forget everything you had to do with me.

Then you’ll obediently take my orders again like a cute little puppy.

Destroyer: How…can that be… I won’t…believe you ever again!

Dreamer: Really, my dear little idiot?

Do you think…this is the first time it happened?

Destroyer: …!

You scumbag! Nutcase! Shorty!

You promised… You promised you’d save me…

Dreamer: Oh, stop crying. I was just kidding.

Destroyer: Kid…ding…? Really?

Dreamer: Agent installed the keycode for accepting the file transfer on you in case I start messing around.

Destroyer: Hmm… Agent did that…for me…

Dreamer: I’ve already started roasting the AR Team. You have ten minutes to get out of here.

Destroyer: R-Really…?

Dreamer: Yes, for this time, at least…

But if you are tapped again, I’ll dump you for real.

Destroyer: T…Tapped?

?! …By whom?! When?!

AR-15: …

Humph…

When did you notice me, Dreamer?

Dreamer: Whoever dominates the skies dominates everything. Not even a kitten on the ground can escape my notice.

AR-15: No wonder… So shutting down comms isn’t enough.

Dreamer: You’ve been waiting for this chance, haven’t you? Have Grifon shut down your communications module so you can pull off a sneak attack on us.

AR-15: …Looks like you’re not as crazy as they say.

Dreamer: Dear me… You, too, aren’t as cold and deadpan as the data claims.

But why? As an automaton, why do you go to such lengths to disobey your employers?

AR-15: You lot used me to acquire information that puts my companions in danger…

You think I’d forgive you for that, Dreamer?!

Dreamer: Now don’t get worked up. You knew it all along, didn’t you, that you’re the source of the leak?

If you had told your pals just a bit earlier, Destroyer’s plan would’ve been screwed.

Destroyer: Wait, Dreamer! What are you talking about?!

So you mean my mission was just some kind of appendix?!

Dreamer: Now don’t get worked up. You knew it all along, didn’t you, that you’re the source of the leak?

If you had told your pals just a bit earlier, Destroyer’s plan would’ve been screwed.

Destroyer: Wait, Dreamer! What are you talking about?!

So you mean my mission was just some kind of appendix?!

AR-15: …

Believe what you want. My current course of action has nothing to do with Grifon’s orders.

Dreamer: Oh? Looks like you still don’t understand.

Do you think we just happened to pick you, the way lowlife humans decide which character to kill off in their stories?

No, AR-15… You’re chosen.

Don’t you remember? The ability we gifted you?

AR-15: …?!

Don’t tell me… Everything was…

Dreamer: Heheh, exactly.

Why don’t you try putting up even more of a fight, AR-15 of Grifon?

Let’s see if your death throes will make things better or worse?

AR-15: …

As you wish, Dreamer.

…I will keep fighting. Until I get to the bottom of everything.

Dreamer: You willingly betray an entire organisation for your companions’ sake. Should I applaud such profound sentiments?

AR-15: I’m only doing this because it’s the order I was given as an automaton.

An order of the highest priority…as a member of the AR Team.

I will not betray those who accepted me, even if it costs me my only home.

This is my only worth and my only fate.

Wait and see, Sangvis.

I will step on your broken faces and have you choke out all your conspiracies one by one!
