GFL2 Story/2-4/Script

[Incomplete. Proofread and diarize.]

Wow~ It's Port Vest~

There's a large building here with quite a lot of obstacles. We'll need to scout the area.

Then let's start from this side?

Hm... A large building? You mean that steel mill? It's better to reach it from the cruiser up ahead~

Why would you know that?!

Wow, Krolik! You're finally talking to me~

Why should I?!

Hm~ Because I like bunny ears! They're suuuuuper cute! |Can you tell me where you bought them?

Find them yourself.

Then tell me the next time you buy them, okay? |I'll buy a few extra pairs for you as presents~

Will you just stop it?!

Krolik. |Focus on the mission.

Okie! Listen to the Leader and focus on the mission~ |This route may get cut off, Leader. There are a lot of easily breakable containers nearby~

You've been here before?

I've PASSED BY before, to be more precise~

...Let's go. Make for the cruiser.

Sure.

(Colphne lingers behind and blinks at the two Dolls who have already headed off.)

Oh? You believe me just like that, Leader? This is kinda... touching~

(Hearing Colphne's remark, Groza turns and walks up to her.)

(The light is a bit bright. Colphne narrows her eyes.)

Colphne.

Hmm~?

The Commander has accepted you, which makes you part of the team. |It doesn't matter if you have your own ideas or agenda.

(The smile is frozen on Colphne's face, but then she gives her head a shake and flashes an even more dazzling smile.)

Hm... But what if I do something weird?

What would you do then, Leader Groza?

That depends on how weird your actions are.

Hm... How weird...?

(The Doll eyes Groza and Krolik, who are several paces away.)

(She suddenly darts forward and lunges at Groza. She throws her arms around her and squeezes her in a strong embrace.)

Wow, both Groza and the Commander really have a heart of goooooold~

I just hope good people like you will...

Uh, you—

(The sudden outburst of affection catches Groza slightly off-guard.)

(She finally relents and returns the hug, giving Colphne a gentle pat on the back.)

(Still clinging onto Groza, Colphne buries her face in Groza's shoulder and seems to be sobbing. But when she finally lets go, her face looks perfectly normal.)

Hey, are we going or not?

Then let us be off~ |Leader~!

...The environmental data on Port Vest is about 92% accurate. The margin of error is within acceptable parameters. |That's it for my report.

Collapse Epiphyllums?

Yes. Collapse Epiphyllums are sprinkled all over Port Vest. Other than the large cluster at coordinates TY28SX-II8WXY, they are distributed quite sparsely across the region.

This place is pretty close to the purification zone, and the Collapse radiation level is relatively low—why would there be Epiphyllums here? And distributed so sparsely?

It could be due to the Collapse storms, Commander.

Most of the Collapse storms in the area originate from the Red Zone. The complexity of the local terrain causes the storms to form vortices. All kinds of matter are carried and eventually deposited here by the winds, which probably include seeds of Collapse Epiphyllums.

...This sure is going to make the purification process very tricky.

On another note, we have observed no signs of the Boojum's presence so far.

Hm, it's worth a try.

...The abyss cracks... The clouds scatter...

She says to leave the operation plan to her—but what does that have to do with Nemesis?

(Nemesis glances at Krolik and turns away disdainfully.)

...Ignore the converging currents... Extinguish... the light of life...

You can do this? All alone?!

Oh, so Krolik understands what Nemesis says?

No, I don't!

Huh~

Groza, tell Mayling to install the automatic turret.

Understood. And all other combat units keep your eyes out while Nemesis is putting together our operation plan.
