Hurry, hide!
I... I need to go.
Take this... this is for you.
This is a protective charm. My mother taught me how to make these...
And this is one that I made.
When you make these dolls by hand, you can keep the ones you care about safe.
Okay, sister Misha, we'll take good care of it!
Good, good.
Now, go hide! And don't make a sound.
Okay!
Where'd they go? ! After them! Let's see how far those Infected can run!
Hmm? Now... what do we have here?
According to Exusiai's data, our mission target should have been staying somewhere around here...
Argh, the terrain around here is really complicated. If we were doing this alone, this assignment might have been quite troublesome...
Luckily, I got in touch with Penguin Logistics beforehand...
...Who's there?
Those people are...!
Baddies! You bunch of baddies! Let go of me! Let... Go...!
Tell me! Where'd she run off to?
Stop playing dumb!
Sister! Sister! Where are you...! Help...
Sister Misha! Sister Misha, save me!!
...
Who is it?
Get back here!
...
...You should leave right now if you know what's good for you.
...?!
Who the hell...?!
You don't like you're from around here!
You're not afraid of us...
Otherwise...
Huh?
Gaaah!!
Wh-what was that?
Arts! Sh-she's using Arts?!
Aaaargh! Stay away from me!
...Don't bully the defenseless ever again.
Aaaagh! Monster!
Heh... Monster, huh?
...
Everything will be okay. You can come out now.
It's dangerous here. You should hurry and find some place safe.
Thank you, ma'am!
Take care!
Amiya, what's going on?
Hm, I saw an Infected just now, probably unregistered...
From Ursus?
Yes. She was heading deeper into the slums.
Franka, gather the nearby operators.
Okay.
The deeper we head into the slums, the more volatile things are going to be...
There are ordinary civilians, criminals, and refugees - all mixed together.
We'll have to make thorough preparations.
Amiya, we have incoming comms.
Please wait a second.
...
That's right.
Amiya, it's the L.G.D.
Was that Madam Ch'en?
Indeed.
... That's right. We've already found a number of unregistered Infected.
... Yes.
... What?
... We're after an Ursus girl, short white hair, height of about 145 cm, called Misha?
That's...?
...Understood.
Amiya, Madam Ch'en wants us to immediately search for the Infected just described.
Once we find her, we are to turn her in to the L.G.D. immediately.
Can I speak to her please?
Hello, hello...
Madam Ch'en, can you hear me?
I hear you.
Can I confirm the validity of that order?
100% valid, effective immediately.
I see.
...
She suddenly hung up...
That Ch'en, she's got a bit of a temper.
So this is going to be our mission for now...
Amiya, I've just received another message from several defenders.
They met some individuals who were openly hostile to Rhodes Island's operators.
Furthermore, those attackers weren't ordinary people, they were... Infected.
[Delay=0.5]
... Have the defenders fall back towards us.
Scout team! Our target is an Ursine girl with short white hair, height of 145 cm. Remember to stay hidden, and stay safe!
Other operators, follow your leaders and spread out.
It'd be best to stall them out.
So we're... going to lure them in?
Franka, let's attack them head-on.
Hey... Not bad.
Liskarm, this kid's pretty smart.
... Dr. {@nickname} is our tactical commander. You should take this more seriously.
Let's begin.
So... Rhodes Island has to fight against the Infected again...
