Six years of memories up to last year... I saved them all in here...
Rosmontis
This morning, I went to read the log from June 12, but the screen wouldn't turn on.
Rosmontis
What if... what if I can't ever read them again...?
Rosmontis
The March 14th log, when I went to the botanical gardens with daddy, or hiking in July, or the time when mommy...
Rosmontis
...Mommy...
D- don't cry! Listen, you're not great with screens, right?
Why not wait until Scout can help you fix it? Or Closure?
I'll take it to Closure for you. She'll fix it up lickety-split!
Rosmontis
Scout...
Rosmontis
Is Scout that one operator who moves around all quiet?
That's him! You know him?
Rosmontis
Yeah.
Rosmontis
With that perfectly polished look... like a porcelain doll.
Rosmontis
There he is.
Huh...?
Scout
I had yet to hear your estimation of me. I now understand how weak it is.
When did you get here?!
Scout
You could say I have always been here. I am used to concealing myself.
Rosmontis
So Mr. Scout was here all along.
Rosmontis
Why didn't Blaze sense it?
I... I wasn't paying attention. I just didn't notice!
Hey, if you were standing here all this time, why didn't you help her fix it?
Scout
Forgive me. We are mere moments from undertaking a mission. I must focus my energy on calibrating my weaponry.
Scout
You might ask Closure, or the good Mechanist to assist you.
Are you about to go save Dr. {@nickname}?
Ace
Yes.
Oh. You're going too.
Ace
It's me we're talking about. If I didn't go, what kind of joke would Rhodes Island's elite operators be?
Scout
And what did Ascalon say?
Ace
The usual. She's not going. Always there with Kal'tsit, that one.
Scout
Did it ever occur to you... That now is perhaps not the optimal time?
Ace
But it might be our last chance.
Ace
Chernobog is probably going to turn back deep into Ursus to avoid that Catastrophe. And a rescue operation in the Ursus interior is going to be damn near impossible.
I keep hearing you talk about it, but is this Dr. {@nickname} really worth all this?
Ace
Worth as much as Amiya and Kal'tsit.
Rosmontis
Have I met the Doctor?
Ace
Not yet. But you will soon.
Rosmontis
Good. I want to know what the Doctor is like too.
Rosmontis
I really, really want to.
Scout
You will, kitten.
By the way, Ace, there's an uninfected girl named GreyThroat on your team.
Ace
I'm aware. She's been training in isolation.
Ace
Listen, Blaze. I've been working with her for a few months now. She has trouble expressing herself, but she's not a bad person.
She looked my teammate in the eye and asked, 'How hard could it be to be Infected?'
Ace
I know. But it might have been a legitimate question to her. She might really be curious.
Ace
It's not my place to demand an operator turn her opinion on a dime. And GreyThroat has never once questioned orders.
I don't care. I'm not going to stand by and let her insult my teammates, and I sure as hell won't let her disgrace the struggle of the Infected.
Ace
Now's not the time. I can see the rage you're holding back. But really, not now.
She said it right in front of me!
Scout
Take a breath, Big Cat.
Scout
You have a task at hand yourself.
...I do.
Fine. We'll deal with it when you get back.
Since when is Ace more senior than me?
Ace
When you take that tone, I start to think maybe you're screwing around.
Scout
She may very well be mocking you.
When he goes two days without shaving, he'll definitely look way more senior.
Rosmontis
Ace's beard is very manly.
Ace
...Hm.
Hahaha! I have to go move some stuff around. Got my own job to do, you know. Later.
Let's get a drink when I'm done!
Scout
Try not to puke this time.
Scout
Misery spent two hours scrubbing the floor. I wager he would vomit himself when faced with that task again.
Who knew you could hold your liquor so well!
Rosmontis, Mechanist will give you back your terminal in a bit.
Be a good girl and wait patiently. But don't forget either!
Ace, was some uninfected girl like GreyThroat really worth training?
Blaze
How much trust did we earn? And how much trust did we give?
Blaze
If the Doctor...
What are you saying over there?!
Blaze
I'm saying bad things about you. To your face.
......
Blaze
If there's a Doctor hanging around here, hurry up and come out already. You'll need some fancy Arts to hide behind that wall if you don't want me to find you.
If I don't believe in Rhodes Island...?
Blaze
Then I'll string you up on a lamppost as bait for Reunion. Don't worry! You won't die. A few bolts and a knife or two never hurt anyone.
Blaze
....sigh.
Blaze
Sigh!
Blaze
Did Amiya send you?
Blaze
Whatever. That's what she's best at. And what she's worst at...
Blaze
I keep trying to remind her, to get her thinking about how she's still just a kid... it always seems to have the opposite effect.
Blaze
I guess she'll never be able to put down that grown up persona of hers as long as she's the leader of Rhodes Island.
Blaze
Of course, if it wasn't Amiya who sent you, if you decided to come keep me company all by yourself, I'm not against the idea.
Blaze
...Hold me back? Haha! I could carry three of you on my back and I wouldn't even notice. One little Dr. {@nickname} can't hold me back.
