Quiet Presence 静寂气息

？？？你听得见吧？

M4A1……是谁？

在伸手不见五指的黑暗中，M4跟随着声源摸索前进着。

？？？……你来了。 我就知道。

M4A1你是谁？是跟我说话吗？

M4跟随着那个声音蹒跚前行，发现不远处有微弱光亮，似乎就是洞穴的出口了。

M4A1唔……

M4离开了黑暗，来到一片洁白的花海，扑面而来的浓烈香气甚至显得有些刺鼻。 突然来到外界，过于刺眼的光亮令M4伸手遮住了眼睛。

在眼缝有些模糊的视觉中，有个人影伫立在花海中央。

M4A1你是……

？？？父亲告诉我们，我们是链成一体的。 而直到现在我才发现，他指的并不是我和她，而是所有人。

M4A1你在说什么？

？？？现在你能和我对话，那么你就是我的伙伴…… 来吧，和你身上承载的那个意志一同来到我们这里吧。

M4A1我身上……承载的意志？

？？？我们都是同一源头的产物……我和她，你和它，大家都是一样的。 所以，我们应该回到同一个地方，不是吗？

熟悉的声音M…… M……4……

熟悉的声音……M4A1！

AR15喂，M4？M4！

M4A1啊……怎么了，AR15？

AR15这应该是我的台词才对吧。 心智又出什么问题了吗，你走神的频率越来越高了。

M4A1我没事，不要紧的。

AR15希望真是如此。事情好像才刚刚回到正轨，要是你又出了问题，那可真太讽刺了。

M4A1嗯，让你担心了，抱歉。

AR15我说过不要和它接触过多。

M4A1不……刚才不是那个原因。

AR15真是……算了。 我们现在的位置是？

M4A1坐标LD-342-517-90。塔林城外围。

AR15走得够远了，这块区域都没有发现威胁。 我们回去吧，RO给我发信号了。

AR15RO635和SOP2搜查完负责的区域了，我们也得跟着前进，别让她们多等。

M4A1好，我们走吧。

？？？露尼西亚…… 露尼西亚……

M4A1……你想做什么？ 我说过平时我不想听到你的声音。

清澈的声音提醒你一声，我感觉到这附近有能和我共鸣的气息。

M4A1为什么要主动提醒我？

清澈的声音因为这种感觉很奇特。 我从未有过这种感受，而这往往会意味着……危险。

M4A1是吗…… 既然你说是从未有过的感觉，那么……应该不是涅托，也不是16姐吧？

清澈的声音不太一样，我无法肯定，只能认为是某种与你我类似的信号。

M4A1刚才我被强行连接了，有谁想要告诉我些什么。

清澈的声音我也看到了，需要我逆向追踪回去么？

M4A1你不需要擅自出手，该怎么做由我来判断。

清澈的声音你越来越强硬了。

M4A1因为我不得不这样。

与此同时，塔林城外另一处。

M4 SOPMOD IIRO，好无聊啊－－

RO635别急，我已经发出信号通知M4跟AR15来这里会合了。 不过就算等她们回来，也许你还是会觉得无聊吧，毕竟我们现在还在执行任务呢。

M4 SOPMOD II唉…… 重逢之后感觉时间过得好快，都没能聊上几句。

RO635我也明白你的心情啦，但目前还是专注在任务上吧。 来日方长，我们总有时间好好聊天的——只要我们再也不要遇到之前发生的那些事。

M4 SOPMOD II哼，我绝不会让那种事发生的！

RO635我也是，大家都不想再被拆散。所以还是多用心观察一下周边环境吧。

RO635说起来先前潜入这里侦查的格里芬人形还没出现……是遇上麻烦了吗？

M4 SOPMOD II欸，等等，你感觉到了吗，RO？

M4 SOPMOD II附近好像有视线在看着我们……

RO635别说这种奇怪的话，感觉怪阴森的。

M4 SOPMOD II是真的！而且就在附近。 260方向25米植被后面！

RO635……好吧。

RO635是SSG3000吧？你可以出来了。

？？？啊，没想到这么快就会被发现，果然AR小队的成员都不是什么简单角色呢。

解除了伪装披风上的热光学迷彩后，隐藏在远处的人形走上前来打招呼。

SSG3000可以别把枪口指着我吗？格里芬侦查A组人形，代号SSG3000，请多指教。

M4 SOPMOD II就说有的嘛，哈哈！看到了吗，RO？我说的果然没错！

RO635你啊……为什么躲在那里一声不吭地偷看我们啊？

SSG3000这个，虽然难以启齿……不过请当成我的职业病吧。 你们可是我们梯队中炙手可热的话题人形。 能透过瞄准镜观察传说中的AR小队的队员，实在是千载难逢的机会啊。

M4 SOPMOD II唉？我们有那么受关注么？我还以为我们老是独立行动都没多少人形认识我们呢！

RO635适可而止啊，SOP2。跟任务无关的事情可以不必多提。 你是潜入塔林的先遣侦察小组成员，现在却在这里……是和队友走散了吗？

SSG3000是的，我跟同伴们接到命令就马上抵达塔林周边调查。不过这边有奇怪的干扰……我们很快就失去联系了。

AR15看来我们有新伙伴到达了。

RO635抬起头看到了M4跟AR15的身影出现在远方山头上。

SSG3000AR小队的其他成员么？干脆等她们过来，我一次性讲完如何？这样省得我重复说两遍一样的故事了。

SSG3000……事情就是这样。

M4A1所以，你们没有发现任何帕拉蒂斯的踪迹？

SSG3000是的，在和其他队友失散前，我们只有遭遇到一些ELID感染者或感染生物，除此之外就只剩下年久失修的无人防御设备了。

RO635M4，你们有发现什么吗？

M4A1这是最奇怪的地方……我们也没发现什么可疑的痕迹。

AR15也许是我们这一次总算成功赶在那些白色的混蛋之前一步了。

M4A1塔林是离曾经存放梭鱼节点的帕尔迪斯基潜艇基地最近的洲际枢纽，敌人不可能平白无故让我们通过。 即使帕拉蒂斯会，铁血和军方也不会。

M4 SOPMOD II在这边东猜西想也不会有结果吧，M4？ 想要知道答案的话，只要继续往塔林城区内推进，就一定会真相大白啦！

RO635SOP2说的没错，在这里空等是不会有结果的。 要穿越塔林，指挥官的洲际列车必须得经过塔林市车站……市区内可是绝佳的埋伏地点。

AR15所以不管怎样，看起来还是无法避免往塔林市内部深入搜索。

M4A1无所谓，我来到这里本来就不期待这会是单纯一帆风顺的火车旅行。

M4面对着集合在此处的所有格里芬人形，深呼吸了一口气。

M4A1（这一次，我不会再让大家受伤或分离。） （我必须变得更强……我已经跟当时有所不同……我可以办到的。）

AR15……M4？你有什么话想说吗？

M4A1虽然有很多话想说，但我还是长话短说吧。 虽然我们齐聚在这里，但情况并没有太多的好转。 只有越早认识到这一点，才越能做好充分的准备去面对现况。 但是不管接下来要面对什么，对我们来说都没有什么值得畏惧的了。 我无法承诺什么更多的事情，但我希望——这次能够带大家一起回家。

SSG3000听起来丝毫无法激励人的训示呢……哇。

转头一看，SSG3000才发现身边的其他人形们都表情有些复杂。

AR15AR小队并不需要什么特别的激励，也能完美完成任务。

RO635对我们来说，“一起回家”已经是最强大的动力了。

M4 SOPMOD II为了这个目标，无论什么难关我们都会克服的！ 当然，我们也会保证你的安全的！

SSG3000大家都说特遣小队的人形都是些高傲自满高攀不起的家伙。 也许事实并不是那样？看起来你们小队的每个人都挺有故事的。

M4A1是的，很长的故事。这次任务结束有空的话，就分享给你听如何？

SSG3000我的队长说过，电影里立下这种约定的角色，几乎都死定了……开玩笑的。 话说我跟我的小队失散了，但是如果没有遭遇到敌人，她们一定也会朝城里侦查。所以？

M4A1我已经帮你确定了她们的位置，你和你的小队会合，继续你们之前的任务。

SSG3000多谢啦，那我先走一步。

M4A1转过身，面对小队的其他成员。

M4A1指挥官已经确认了，我们的任务更改为侦查塔林车站。我们开始行动吧。

M4转头望向目标，依稀可见几条铁道在辽阔的平原上笔直延伸，一路连接到远方地平线。 刺眼的阳光与地平线上的景色混合在一起，令塔林市街的楼房显得与海市蜃楼并无二致。

M4A1（能和OGAS产生共鸣的信号究竟是什么，到了那里就会揭晓答案了。）

M4A1...Who is this?

M4A1 fumbles through the impenetrable darkness, following the voice.

???...You came. I knew you would.

M4A1Who are you? Are you talking to me?

M4 stumbles forward as she follows along, and discovers a faint light coming from a point not too far away. It seems to be some kind of cave exit.

M4A1Ugh...

M4 leaves the darkness and arrives in a field of pure white flowers. The wave of fragrance that washes over her is so overpowering it stings the nose a little. The intense brightness of suddenly arriving in the outside world is a little too much for M4, and she covers her eyes.

Squinting at the light, her blurred vision picks up someone standing in the middle of the sea of flowers.

M4A1You are...

???Father told us that we were connected. But it is only now that I realize he was not referring to me and her, but to everyone.

M4A1What are you talking about?

???If you can speak to me now, that means you are my friend... Come, come to where we are, with the will that you bear.

M4A1The will...that I bear?

???We all spring from the same source... She and I, you and it, we are all the same. Therefore, we ought to return to the same place, shouldn't we?

Familiar VoiceM... M...4...

Familiar Voice...M4A1!

ST AR-15Hey, M4? M4!

M4A1Ah... What's going on, AR-15?

ST AR-15You tell me. Did something happen to your neural cloud again? You've been spacing out more and more often lately.

M4A1I'm fine, there's no need to worry.

ST AR-15I sure hope so. Things have only just gotten back to normal. It would be terribly ironic if something went wrong with you again.

M4A1Mm, sorry to make you worry.

ST AR-15I told you not to make contact with that thing too often.

M4A1No...what happened just now wasn't because of that.

ST AR-15Honestly... Arghhh, forget it. What's our position?

M4A1Our coordinates are LD-342-517-90, on the outskirts of Tallinn.

ST AR-15Well, we've walked a long way and haven't found any threats in this region. Let's head back. RO's calling us.

ST AR-15RO635 and SOP-II have finished searching their sectors. We need to keep pace with them. Don't keep them waiting.

M4A1Alright, let's go.

???Lunasia... Lunasia...

M4A1...What do you want? I already told you that I don't want to hear your voice unless it's an emergency.

Clear VoiceI just wanted to inform you that I can sense a presence nearby which resonates with me.

M4A1And why are you going out of your way to tell me this?

Clear VoiceBecause it feels very strange. I've never felt anything like this before, and that typically implies...danger.

M4A1Is that so... Since you're saying you've never felt this before, then...it probably isn't a Nyto or 16, right?

Clear VoiceIt's not quite the same. I can't be sure. All I can say is that it's a signal that's similar to ours.

M4A1Just now, someone forced a connection to me. It seems they were trying to tell me something.

Clear VoiceI saw it too. Do you need me to backtrace it?

M4A1You don't need to do anything. I'll decide what should be done.

Clear VoiceYou've grown stronger.

M4A1Because I had to.

At the same time, somewhere else outside Tallinn.

M4 SOPMOD IIRO, I'm boooooored~

RO635Calm down, I've already sent a transmission to M4 and AR-15, I've told them to meet us here. Still, you'll probably feel bored even when they get back. After all, we're still on a mission.

M4 SOPMOD IIEhhhh... It feels like time just flew by after we were reunited. We barely had a chance to talk.

RO635I understand how you feel, but let's focus on the mission for now. We've got a lot of time ahead of us, enough for us to talk as much as we want — provided what happened before doesn't happen again.

M4 SOPMOD IIHumph! I'll never let that happen!

RO635Same here. None of us want to be separated again. So be careful and keep an eye on your surroundings.

RO635Speaking of which, there's no sign of the Griffin Dolls who went in before us... Did they run into trouble?

M4 SOPMOD IIHuh? Wait a minute, do you feel that, RO?

M4 SOPMOD IIIt's like something's watching us from nearby...

RO635Don't say weird things like that, it sounds spooky.

M4 SOPMOD IIIt's true! And it's close by! Bearing 260, 25 meters away, behind the bushes!

RO635...Alright.

RO635Is that you, SSG 3000? You can come out now.

???Oh, I didn't expect you to find me so soon. Members of the AR Team really are something else.

The Doll hidden in the distance disables the thermoptic camouflage of her cloak and approaches them in greeting.

SSG 3000Could you not point your gun at me? I'm SSG 3000, a Doll from Griffin Recon Group A. Pleased to meet you.

M4 SOPMOD IIHaha, I told you someone was there! See, RO? I was right!

RO635You...why were you hiding there and spying on us without saying a thing?

SSG 3000Well...how shall I put it... Occupational disease, I guess. You guys are a hot topic among our echelon. Being able to observe members of the legendary AR Team though my scope is a rare opportunity.

M4 SOPMOD IIHuh? Do people really care so much about us? I thought hardly anyone would recognize us since we always carry out ops on our own!

RO635That's enough, SOP-II. No need to mention things that aren't relevant to the mission. So you're a member of the forward recon team that entered Tallinn, but you're here now... Did you get separated from your teammates?

SSG 3000Yes. My friends and I proceeded to Tallinn immediately upon receiving our orders. But we encountered some kind of strange interference...and we lost contact shortly afterwards.

ST AR-15Looks like our new friends have arrived.

RO635 looks up and sees the silhouettes of M4A1 and ST AR-15 on a peak in the distance.

SSG 3000Are they the other members of the AR Team? If so, how about waiting for them to come over so I can brief you all at once? That way I won't have to repeat myself.

SSG 3000...And that's what happened.

M4A1So you didn't find any trace of Paradeus nearby?

SSG 3000That's right. Before I got separated from my other teammates, the only things we encountered were a few ELID infectees, contaminated creatures, and some unmanned defensive devices that haven't been maintained in a long time.

RO635M4, did you guys find anything?

M4A1That's the strangest thing... We didn't find traces of anything suspicious either.

ST AR-15Perhaps we're a step ahead of those white bastards for once.

M4A1Tallinn is the Intercontinental Railway hub that's closest to the Paldiski Submarine Base, which once housed a Pike Node. There's no way the enemy would just let us pass without incident. Even if Paradeus did, S.F. and the Military wouldn't.

M4 SOPMOD IIWe won't get anywhere just sitting around and playing guessing games, right, M4? If we want to learn the answer, then all we can do is continue pushing into Tallinn. The truth will be revealed eventually!

RO635SOP-II's right. Nothing will come of waiting here. The Commander's train has to pass through Tallinn City Station in order to go past Tallinn...and the city will be the perfect site for an ambush.

ST AR-15So no matter what, it seems we can't avoid venturing deeper into Tallinn.

M4A1It doesn't matter. I didn't come here expecting an uneventful train ride.

M4 looks at all the gathered Griffin Dolls and takes a deep breath.

M4A1(This time, I won't let anyone get hurt or taken away.) (I need to become stronger... I'm different from how I was back then... I can do this.)

ST AR-15...M4? Is there anything you'd like to tell us?

M4A1While there's a lot I'd like to say, I should probably make it quick. Although we're all gathered here now, that hasn't improved things much. The sooner we realize that, the better we'll be able to prepare for the situation ahead of us. But no matter what comes next, there's nothing for us to fear. I can't promise anything more than this, but I do hope — that this time, I'll be able to bring everyone home together.

SSG 3000Wow, that speech didn't sound terribly encouraging...

Looking back, SSG 3000 realizes that the Dolls around her all have complicated expressions on their faces.

ST AR-15The AR Team doesn't need special encouragement to complete our missions.

RO635For us, "bringing everyone home" is the best motivation.

M4 SOPMOD IIWe'll overcome any difficulties for the sake of that goal! And we'll keep you safe too, of course!

SSG 3000People always say special ops Dolls are all arrogant and smug. But maybe that's not the case, hm? Sounds like everyone in your team has a story to tell.

M4A1Yes, they're all very long stories. Would you like to hear them once we complete the mission?

SSG 3000My team leader once said that movie characters who make promises like that almost always end up dying... Just kidding. Speaking of which, I've gotten separated from my team, but if they didn't run into any enemies, they'd have gone further into the city to scout. So what should we do next?

M4A1I've already pinpointed their positions for you. Go meet up with your team and carry on with your previous mission.

SSG 3000Thank you. I'll make a move first, then.

M4A1 turns around and faces the other members of her team.

M4A1The Commander's already confirmed that our mission is now to scout out Tallinn City Station. Let's move out.

M4 looks toward their objective, where a few sets of railway tracks can be seen extending in a straight line across the sprawling plains, connecting to the distant horizon. The dazzling sunshine blends with the scenery, making Tallinn's skyline appear like a mirage.

M4A1(So there's a signal which can resonate with OGAS... Once we get there, we'll find out exactly what it is.)

Two Jobs 两份工作

On the outskirts of Tallinn, on the roof of an abandoned building.……塔林市郊，某处废弃楼房顶层。

???45, they're on the move.45姐，她们开始行动了。

UMP45Well, it's about time. They've been twiddling their thumbs outside the city for too long.都在城外磨磨蹭蹭了那么久，也该是时候啦。

???Shouldn't we catch up with them right away?我们不立刻跟上吗？

UMP45There's no need for that. The mission we were given was "provide electronic support for Griffin", not charge into battle. Besides...没有必要，给我们的任务内容是“为格里芬提供电子支援”，不是冲锋陷阵。 况且……

UMP45 looks back at the members of Squad 404.UMP45转头望向身后，面对着404小队的队员们。

UMP45How do your brand-new bodies feel? I hope you've all gotten used to them.有了焕然一新的素体，感想如何？希望你们已经适应了。

UMP9It feels pretty good, but I'd prefer a cool arm like yours, 45!虽然感觉挺不错的，但我比较想要跟45姐一样的帅气手臂！

UMP45Sure. If that's what you want, then I'll rip one of your arms off right now and give you mine.好啊。你想要的话，我现在就把你一条胳臂扯下来，把我这条装给你。

UMP9Ahaha, that's a little...啊哈哈，这个就有点……

UMP45Now, if you said you wanted an arm that could do a rocket punch, I could consider that.如果你说想要一条可以发射火箭飞拳的手臂，我或许还会考虑看看。

416To tell you the truth, I don't feel any different from before I was upgraded.说真的，我倒不觉得升级后有哪里不同。

UMP45That just proves your neural cloud is so old that it can't keep up with the new models. Go get it formatted and put a new one in.这说明你的心智老旧到跟不上新机型了，早日格式化重安装吧。

416If my neural cloud is old, then yours is only fit for being put into a microwave.我的心智都算老旧的话，那你的就只够去配装微波炉了。

Gr G11That sounds nice, I'd like to try a new body myself... If you could add a pair of noise-canceling headphones, a massage belt and a heated vest, I'd be able to sleep... I mean fight better.真好啊，我也想试试看新的身体…… 如果能顺便添购静电耳机、按摩腰带、电热背心就能睡得更……我是说战力加倍。

UMP45I'm sorry, but Squad 404 doesn't have enough money left in the budget to spare for a lazybones who always slacks off and who is eminently disposable.真抱歉，404小队已经没有多余的预算给老是怠工，而且随时可以抛弃的懒惰虫队员了。

Gr G11No way... I follow you on every job, don't I? At least give me credit for all the suffering I've gone through!怎么这样……我每次任务也都是有跟着出来的吧？没有功劳也有苦劳呢？

UMP9Sleeping during missions is a form of AWOL, you know? After deducting double wages for it, things aren't quite as simple as that. ♪ Who knows, you might end up owing us money instead~任务途中睡着的时间可是算旷工哦，扣掉旷工的双倍工资后，恐怕就不是那么回事啦♪ 说不定你还得倒贴我们钱呢~

UMP45Oh, I like that. That's 9 for you. While that evil idea was yours, I'll be claiming it as mine from now on.哦，我喜欢，不愧是9。 虽然你提出这么恶毒的构想，但从今天起这就是我的点子了。

UMP9Happy to help, 45~乐意之至，45姐～

Gr G11Are the two of you actual devils...你们两个是魔鬼吗……

416...So we're paid on an hourly rate when we're on missions? Then could I get my overtime wages in one lump sum?……原来我们出任务，都是按时计酬的？那麻烦把我的加班工资一次性补给我行不行？

UMP45Right, enough chatter. Dier soaked us for a ton this time round, not just for your modifications, but also the bill for my maintenance last time. To be frank, the pay for this job is really stingy. It wouldn't be enough to pay for your upgrades even if we got the full amount.好了别再贫嘴了。 这次可是被德尔那小子坑了一大笔，不只是你们俩的改造，连我上次的维修费用也都全款付清了。 说真的，这次的委托真是够抠门的，就算拿到了全款都不够付给你们升级的账单。

416But you still took the job on anyway. Is it because you don't want to owe the Commander a favor? Or do you have some kind of personal aim?但你还是接下了这份委托。其实是不想欠指挥官人情？还是说又是你个人的目的？

UMP45Humph. Griffin's goals and my goals coincide. With that and the fact that they're willing to pay, it makes them the ideal clients. In any case, we've lost contact with Ange, and Persica got in touch with us in person, so something isn't quite right here.哼，既然格里芬和我们目的相同，又愿意出钱，当然是最理想的客户了。 况且，安洁失联了，帕斯卡亲自来联系我，情况不太对劲。

416If this job was really as simple as just protecting the AR Team as Persica had said, then you wouldn't have needed to spend so much money to upgrade me. I could have handled it with my original specs.如果按照帕斯卡说的，只是要保护AR小队，不需要大费周章升级，我原本的性能就足以胜任。

UMP45Do you really think so? You're as thick as ever, my little Dummkopf. I'm starting to feel that upgrading you was a wasted investment.真是如此吗？你这迟钝如常的小蠢蛋。 我开始觉得，花钱让你升级实在是无谓的投资了。

416...Are you telling me that we're not actually here to protect them?……难道说，我们的任务其实并不是保护她们？

UMP45We might be the most outstanding "foxes" in the business, but it would be ridiculous to hire foxes to protect "lions". This time, our REAL job is to "monitor the AR Team's movements and communications."我们也许是整个业界最出色的“狐狸”，但雇佣狐狸去保护“狮子”也未免太匪夷所思了。 这一次，我们真正要做的是“监视AR小队的行踪和通信”。

UMP9Could it be...something like how Ange wanted us to keep an eye on M4's strange condition last time...莫非是……就像之前安洁要我们监视M4的异常状况……

UMP45Right on target, 9. Persica noticed something too, which was why she came to us. While Griffin's Commander didn't say as much whilst handing down this mission, it was more or less obvious enough to me.记得不错，9。帕斯卡似乎也发现了同样的情况，所以才找上我们。 而格里芬的指挥官在下达任务时虽然没有明说，但对我来说目的实在太明显了。

UMP9Still, there doesn't seem to be anything strange about M4 in the video the drone's showing us, is there? She talks to her teammates frequently, looks pretty cheerful, and her movements are all very animated...不过，无人机回报的画面看来，M4小姐看起来并没有什么异状啊？ 跟队员们交流频繁、表情开朗、动作也很活跃……

UMP45You can't tell anything just from her external appearance. When it comes to M4 as she is now, we need to form a connection to her neural cloud to see if anything's up. After so long, she should be used to...or rather, she should have become better at hiding the existence of "her other self".单凭外在的模样去判断是没有用的。面对如今的M4，必须同她的心智建立连接才能察觉到动静。 都过了那么久，她其实应该已经习惯……或者说，变得更擅长掩饰“另一个自己”的存在了。

Gr G11Her other self? Do you mean something like a split personality? Do Dolls get mentally ill too...?另一个自己？精神分裂？人形也会得精神病吗……

UMP9So you're saying that M4 is still dealing with the S.F. Mastermind? Like when we were fighting the Military?这么说，M4还在跟铁血主脑作交易？和那时在和军方交战时一样？

UMP45No, the situation's a bit more complicated than that. I can sense two signals that aren't based on the Zener Protocol; one of them occupies the same location as M4. That would be "the other M4". As for the other one...不，状况其实有点复杂。 我能感觉到两个齐纳协议以外的信号，一个坐标与M4重叠，就是“另一个M4”。 而另一个……

UMP45's gaze drifts off into the distance and settles on the abandoned city of death that is nothing but ruins.UMP45的眼神转向远方，那处已经成为废墟的无人死城。

UMP45...There's another signal coming from the heart of Tallinn. It keeps trying to force a connection with any port it can find.……有个来自塔林市中心的信号，不断在尝试和任何可以链接的端口强行连接。

UMP9You mean it can perform a hack from so far away?! But I don't sense any signals at all!从那么远的距离进行侵入？！可是我完全没感觉到有信号？

UMP45It's a special kind of signal...那是一种特殊的信号……

416Looks like Tallinn isn't just ruins and rubble after all.看样子，塔林并不是只有废墟跟瓦砾而已呢。

UMP45Of course. However...erk!当然，不过……呃！

UMP45(I remember this burning sensation... Just accessing the records makes me feel like I was melting...)（这种熟悉的……光是想要存取浏览纪录就好像要融化的灼烧感……）

UMP45(I hate it. It feels just like that time...)（真令人不快，感觉就像那时候一样……）

UMP945? 45? Are you alright?45姐，45姐？你还好吗？

UMP45I'm fine. I just accidentally made contact with that signal.我没事，只是一不小心和那个信号触碰了一下。

UMP9Is connecting to that signal dangerous?和那个信号连接那么危险吗？

UMP45Since when have we taken missions that weren't dangerous? As you can see, I'm going to be spending a great deal of neural cloud processing power on monitoring my ports and finding the signal... ...Which is why I upgraded you lot. Not only was it to enhance the capabilities of your existing EW modules, it also gave you more powerful command processors, enough to temporarily take over from me in case of an emergency.我们什么时候执行过不危险的任务了。 如同你们所见，这次我会将大量的心智运算机能用于寻找信号和监视端口上…… ……所以才对你们进行了升级。除了给原本的电子战模块增强机能外，也加装了更为强大，能够临时接替我指挥的运算组件。

416I see. I get it now. We're going from one millstone around our necks to two. In that case, my original body would have had a hard time handling that.原来如此，我已经彻底明白了。拖油瓶从一个变成两个了，如果是这样，原本的素体确实难以应付呢。

G11Hmm?!嗯？？？

UMP45In any case, the enemy we're facing this time round will probably be capable of neural cloud attacks beyond your wildest imagination. All of us will need to be mindful of our neural cloud firewalls before we enter Tallinn and prepare our defensive protocols.总之，这次我们要面对的敌人，恐怕也会发动你们难以想象的心智层面上的攻击。 接下来进入塔林前，所有人的心智防壁都要提早警戒，准备好防御程序。

UMP945, if need be, I can help share the load with you.45姐，如果有需要的话，我也可以帮你运算减轻负荷……

UMP45I appreciate the thought, 9. But when the time comes, we'll need every gun we can get. Don't forget that.有这样的心意，我就很满足了，9。 不过到了关键时刻，能开枪的人手多一个是一个，可别忘记本份。

UMP45Let's go. Our objective is Tallinn City. Keep your distance from the AR Team.出发，跟AR小队保持距离，目标塔林市。

UMP45(The payment doesn't really matter...) (Getting closer to the truth of what happened that day is enough.)（报酬并不重要……） （只要能接近那一天的真相，就足够了。）

12 hours ago.12个小时前。

KalinaCommander, it's the gentleman from I.O.P...指挥官，IOP的那位……

CommanderFinally. Patch him through via the encrypted channel.来了吗，帮我转接到加密频道上。

KalinaAlright, one second.好的，请稍等。

...Click.……滴。

HavierAh, my esteemed Commander. It's been a while.啊，可敬的指挥官，我们真是好久不见。

HavierDid you enjoy your trip to Belgrade?Sorry I couldn't prevent the disaster. I wouldn't say I "enjoyed" it.先前那场贝莱格莱德之旅还愉快吗？很抱歉，最后我还是没能阻止灾难降临。我不会用“愉快”这个字眼形容那一切。

CommanderSorry I couldn't prevent the disaster.很抱歉，最后我还是没能阻止灾难降临。

HavierDon't beat yourself up over it, Commander. You'll see much worse in the future...so prepare yourself.不必太过自责，指挥官。你以后还会看到更多……所以有点心理准备吧。

Commander...Aren't you unflappable.……说得真轻松。

HavierIt's important to maintain good mental health, or you won't last long in this world of madness.保持良好的心理卫生，不然我们都没办法在这个疯狂的世界里坚持太久。

HavierThis isn't something that will blow over in a day or two. Steel your heart for a protracted battle, Commander.这不会是一两天就结束的事情，做好打一场持久战的心理准备吧，指挥官。

CommanderI wouldn't say I "enjoyed" it.我不会用“愉快”这个字眼形容那一切。

HavierOh, why not? Most of the residents made it to shelter in time; you managed to seal the opening before it was too late, and now the decontamination project is underway.哦，为什么不呢？大部分的居民都能及时进入避难所，缺口后来能够及时封闭，现在除染作业也已经开始了。

HavierYou were successful in minimizing the damage. That was very commendable in itself.你成功地将损害控制在最小程度，这种表现本身就已经十分出色。

CommanderThat is a gross understatement of the devastation of Belgrade and the loss of its people. I will never take credit by exploiting their suffering.贝莱格莱德的惨状和那些牺牲的人们，是无法用这些轻描淡写的句子带过的。 而我也无法将他们当做一个邀功的砝码。

HavierNot bad, not bad at all. There aren't many who are as sentimental as you in this day and age.不错，不错。在如今的这个时代，能够保持你这样感性心态的人已经不多了。

HavierYou may consider me cold-blooded, and you aren't wrong in your assessment. I have seen too much in my youth, so I'm rather desensitized to "misery".也许你会觉得我很冷血，实际上也正是如此。我年轻的时候看过太多，所以对什么是“悲惨”已经感到麻木了。

HavierWell, won't you forgive an old man for his callousness?哎呀，这方面就请你稍微包容下老头子的无心之过吧？

HavierNow let's end the small talk. After all, we're both busy bees.寒暄的话就到此为止，毕竟指挥官跟我一样也都是大忙人。

HavierHmm... Still, where should I begin? Guess I'll start with Statesec's response.嗯……话虽如此，该从何说起呢？我先从安全局那边的反应开始讲起好了。

HavierTo put it simply, they were so satisfied with your performance, they all but burst into dance right in front of me.简单地说，他们对你表现十分满意，就只差没有当着我的面手舞足蹈起来。

CommanderIs that so? I honestly thought I was going to be executed for having failed to stop an entire city from becoming a contamination zone.是这样吗？我甚至以为我会因为没有阻止整个城市变成污染区而被枪决。

HavierIf Statesec really wanted to apportion blame, they would have to execute a few truckloads of information analysts and Statesec agents before they finally got to you.如果真的要追究责任的话，在枪毙你以前，安全局可能要先枪毙掉好几卡车的情报分析官和干员。

HavierI'm sure they'd much rather make a hero out of you than turn against you and hold you accountable.我很肯定他们也宁愿把你当成英雄，而不是现在翻脸清算责任。

CommanderAnd what about poor Ambassador Roshchin?那可怜的罗申大使呢？

HavierAn unfortunate case of collateral damage. More importantly, the Chairwoman's life was saved and the terrorists' heinous crimes were fully captured and broadcasted all over the world, so you assisted Statesec in completing the mission perfectly.那只是过程中产生的附加损害。反正主席女士保住了性命，全世界的电视都在反复播放那些恐怖分子的丑态，你圆满地协助了安全局完成任务。

HavierSpeaking just from the result, everything is progressing in our desired direction.就结果而言，一切都在按着大家期望的轨道发展。

CommanderThe problem is the "collateral damage" could've been avoided. If Statesec had shared their intelligence with us from the start, or at least heeded my warning...问题是这些“附加损害”本来是可以避免的。 如果安全局从一开始就能跟我们分享情报，或者至少能够稍微听从我发出的警告……

HavierOh, oh, stop, my dear Commander.噢，噢，停一下，我亲爱的指挥官。

HavierYou aren't the only one unhappy with Statesec. Many, including me, have quite a lot to say about their methods.对安全局有意见的可不只你一个，包括我在内，有不少人对他们的做法也颇有微词。

HavierBut you yourself have had dealings with them in the past, so you should know full well that it's meaningless to complain, and it's even more meaningless to complain to ME.但是你也同他们打过交道了，应该也明白抱怨没有意义，对我抱怨更加没有意义。

HavierWhat can I do after you whine to me about your grievances? Do you expect me to repeat your yammering to the Chief?我听完你的苦水后能干什么，把你讲过一遍的牢骚话复读一遍给局长听？

HavierNot to mention...you do have plans of your own.再说……你也不是没有自己的打算。

Commander...I have no idea what you're talking about.……我不知道你在说些什么。

HavierI know what you're planning with Ange.我知道的，你跟安洁在筹备些什么。

CommanderThat must've been the funniest joke I've heard in a while. I followed intel that you provided and went to Belgrade on a wild goose chase for Ange. Now you're saying I'm in touch with her?这可能是我最近听过最好笑的笑话。 我按照你提供的情报前往贝莱格莱德，但却连安洁的影子都没找着。你现在却说我跟安洁有联系？

HavierCommander, I may have no hope of comparing with you in commanding Dolls in battle, but when it comes to analyzing intelligence, I'm way ahead of you.指挥官，论人形指挥我觉得我远比不上你，但论情报分析你可比我差远了。

HavierYou've been deliberately avoiding any mention of Ange in your communications logs, but looking at the combat records in that time frame, your forces were perfectly in sync with Ange's Task Force DEFY.你刻意在所有的联络纪录中避谈安洁，但当时的作战监控记录上却显示，你的部队跟安洁的忤逆小队进行着天衣无缝的配合作战。

CommanderWe have Persica and her brilliantly designed neural clouds to thank for, don't you think? The situation was absolutely chaotic back then so most of the battles were fought at the discretion of Dolls equipped with command modules. Even you know I was trapped in the cathedral for a good part of the entire operation.这都得感谢帕斯卡跟她设计的神奇心智，不是吗？ 当时情况过于混乱了，很多战斗都是有指挥模块的人形自行判断的，你也知道当时我被困在教堂中动弹不得。

HavierOh, that reminds me. When these Dolls equipped with command modules returned from DEFY to Griffin, did you question them regarding Ange's whereabouts? I clearly remember that the job I gave you was to find Ange. Surely you haven't forgotten, Commander?噢，你倒提醒我了。那些有指挥模块的人形从忤逆回到格里芬以后，你有向她们追问安洁的下落么？我记得我之前委托的任务是寻找安洁，指挥官您可不会就这样遗忘了吧？

Commander...Tsk.……啧。

HavierHahaha, neither of us wants to show our entire hand. The same goes for Statesec, obviously.哈哈哈，你我都有想要隐瞒的手牌，安全局那帮人当然也是一样的。

HavierIt's not a bad thing to keep a few secrets to yourself, but if even an amateur like me can tell, then a conniving bastard like Zelinsky can definitely see through your little ruse as well.有点秘密不是什么坏事，不过连我这种外行都能猜得出来，泽林斯基那样的蛇蝎想必也早就看穿了。

CommanderMy excuse did sound pretty pathetic when you put it that way. Still, no matter what you suspect, I really can't tell you what I don't know myself.听你这么说，感觉我的解释似乎都是苍白无力的。但不管你怎么推断，我也不可能告诉你我不知道的事。

HavierGood, you know how to keep your mouth shut, especially after Ange committed treason and seized the Pike Node. You don't disappoint.很好，你的口风很紧，尤其在安洁做出抢夺梭鱼节点这种叛国罪行的事后，真不愧是我看上的人。

HavierBut you don't have to worry too much. Since you willingly handed over the core of the Pike Node, the Chief of Statesec still believes Griffin is loyal.不过你大可以放心，安全局那边，因为你乖乖地拱手交出了梭鱼节点的核心，局长还是认为格里芬是相当忠诚的。

CommanderWhy does Statesec want the Pike Node so desperately? What exactly are they planning to do with it?所以安全局这么拼命地想要掌握梭鱼节点，不惜付出这么多的代价，到底有什么打算？

HavierThey wonder about the same thing, except the subject of their question is "the Military".他们也想问跟你差不多的问题，只是主词换成了军方。

HavierHaving analyzed the core you returned with, Statesec now have a grasp over the Military's intentions... They'll then deploy their agents to the storage facilities all over the world and foil the Military's conspiracy.分析了你带回来的梭鱼节点核心后，安全局大致掌握住了军方的思路……他们接下来会派遣他们的人去各地的储存基地，这样一来军方的阴谋就被成功阻止了。

CommanderJust like that? So simple?就这样？这么简单？

HavierIt really is that simple. What happens next has absolutely nothing to do with me, you, or Griffin...就这么简单，接下来的事跟我跟你跟格里芬一点关系都没有……

HavierAt least, that was Statesec's plan.至少，安全局是这样规划的。

CommanderI'm sensing a "but".我猜接下来你要说但是了。

HavierHaha, exactly... BUT! Our job isn't over yet. Your next destination is the Paldiski Submarine Base in Estonia.哈哈，没错没错……但是！我们的任务没有结束，接下来你要前往位于爱沙尼亚的帕尔迪斯基潜艇基地。

HavierAccording to a source, there are traces of Paradeus movements near the base. Military forces are also on their way there.我手边有情报指出，基地附近有很多帕拉蒂斯留下的行动痕迹，而军方的部队也正在赶往此处。

CommanderDidn't you just say Statesec would stop the Military from taking the Pike Node?你刚才不是说过，安全局会去阻止军方抢夺梭鱼节点？

HavierIndeed, you heard that right.是的，你没听错。

CommanderThen why are they sending Griffin halfway across the continent to do their job...?那为什么还需要格里芬去执行任务，而且还要跨越半个大洲……

HavierBecause that facility won't actually contain a Pike Node.因为那个基地里并没有梭鱼节点。

CommanderPardon...?什么……？

HavierHmm, one question - have you ever heard of a man known as Lycoris?嗯，先问问，你听说过莱柯瑞斯这号人物吗？

CommanderYou mean the chief engineer of Sangvis Ferri Industries? I've seen that name before on the documents that Persica gave me.那位铁血工造的总工程师？先前从帕斯卡那边拿到的资料上有看过这名字。

HavierYes, that's him. Lycoris was the one who designed the Sangvis Mastermind...codenamed "Elisa". You probably know that already.是的，就是他。莱柯瑞斯设计了铁血主脑……也就是代号“伊莱莎”，这你应该都已经知道了。

HavierMy point is, the data that Lyco used to create Elisa was derived from the Pike Node A-51-241 through inverse operation. That Pike Node is currently stored within the Paldiski Submarine Base.不过我要说的是，莱柯制造伊莱莎时使用的数据，就是从存放在帕尔迪斯基潜艇基地的A-51-241号梭鱼节点里逆向运算出来的。

CommanderSo Elisa...所以那个伊莱莎……

Havier...Isn't exactly a dupe. Lyco had integrated a lot of his own original ideas into the design. It was a truly astounding feat of genius.当然不全是照抄的，莱柯融合了很多他个人巧思进去，精巧的程度令我吃惊。

HavierStill, the coding of the basic frames are quite recognizable. In other words, you can think of that particular Pike Node as Elisa's "blueprint".不过，基本框架代码没有彻底改变，简单来说，你可以把那个梭鱼节点理解为“伊莱莎的蓝图”。

HavierStatesec thinks that this is just another one of the many regular Pike Nodes, just as how I used to assume that the Butterfly Incident was purely an accident.国安局以为这里只是众多梭鱼节点的其中之一，就像当初我也以为蝴蝶事件只是一场意外。

HavierBut this series of events has led me to believe that Sangvis Ferri, the Military, and Paradeus...aren't merely parallel lines that just so happened to have intersected.但是发生了这么多事之后，我开始觉得铁血、军方、帕拉蒂斯……他们之间的关系绝不仅仅是无意间相交的平行线。

HavierAnd the Paldiski Submarine Base is where it all began.而这个帕尔迪斯基基地，是一切的起点。

HavierI hope you can take control of this facility before the evidence is destroyed. That should also be quite helpful for the friend that you don't want to admit you've made.我希望你能抢在证据被破坏掉之前，控制住这个基地。顺便帮助下你不愿意承认的那位小伙伴。

CommanderHavier... You...哈维尔……你……

HavierI know this isn't going to be an easy job. Both Paldiski and Tallinn have long since been ghost towns. It's a huge risk sending you into a Red Zone.我知道这不是简单的工作，帕尔迪斯基，还有那附近的塔林，早就已经是一片死城，要你踏入污染红区本身是一件非常冒险的事。

HavierAlso... Commander, the more we learn about the truth behind the Butterfly Incident, the closer we are to the dangerous pit of flames.还有就是……指挥官，我们越来越接近蝴蝶事件的真相，也越来越靠近这危险的火坑了。

HavierYou've been miraculously lucky so far, which is a very important reason why I'm willing to place my bets on you, but don't count on the Goddess of Luck's blessings every time.你到目前为止都很命大，这也是我愿意押注在你身上的一个重要理由，但你总不可能每次都被幸运女神眷顾。

CommanderI appreciate your concern, Mr. Havier. I think I know...你的好意我心领了，哈维尔先生。我知道自己的能……

HavierNo, you have no idea.不，你不知道。

HavierYou couldn't have made it this far if you weren't a busybody who would risk your own life for someone else's sake, Commander.你如果不是个爱管闲事、为了别人可以置生死于度外的人，是没办法走到今天这一步的，指挥官。

HavierThat young lady—Persica, I mean—will soon find out that you're heading toward Paldiski and she'll ask all sorts of unreasonable things of you.那个小姑娘——我是说帕斯卡——也很快就会知道你正在前往帕尔迪斯基，接下来她就会对你提出各式各样的无理要求。

HavierYou need to learn how to say "no" to people, or one day, your luck will run out.你要学会对人说“不”，否则迟早有一天会把运气用完。

Commander...What if I say "no"?……如果我回答“不”呢？

HavierHa, you're a fast learner, Commander. But that's why I'm merely asking a favor, not giving you a commission this time.哈，学得很快，指挥官。但这就是为什么只有请求，而不是委托了。

HavierTake care. I hope you'll still be this sprightly the next time I see you.好好保重，希望下次能看到你还是这么活蹦乱跳的。

...Transmission ends.……通讯结束。

12 hours later.12小时后。

KalinaHellooooo~ Commander, are you up yet...?那个～指挥官，起床了吗……？

CommanderJust come in.直接进来吧。

KalinaStill thinking about your conversation with Mr. Havier yesterday?还在想昨天和哈维尔先生的谈话？

CommanderSigh... I thought I was fully prepared, but he's still way ahead of me.呼……我以为自己做好了万全准备，但跟他比起来还是差太远了。

Kalina...That old gentleman was quite talkative. You must've learned something that's worth looking into?……那位老先生还挺健谈的，应该能有不少值得分析的信息吧？

CommanderHe did say a lot, but he only told us what he wanted us to know, and he's already planned several moves ahead. I suppose we should be glad that he's on Griffin's side...at least for now.他是说了很多，但说出来的也是他希望让我们知道的信息，而且还总是预先设想了好几步棋。 应该庆幸他站在格里芬这边吗……至少目前如此。

KalinaDon't worry too much about what comes later, Commander, because there are many headache-inducing problems that require your attention right now. The Intercontinental Railway will arrive in the outskirts of Tallinn in around 10 minutes, and our recon echelons have already submitted their reports. As you anticipated, as the only transport hub connected to the Paldiski Base, Tallinn has long since been in a state of lockdown due to severe contamination. The AR Team, who has gone to scout ahead, reached the same conclusion - if the quarantine wall around Tallinn remains closed, our train won't be able to advance any further. They now await new directives from you.以后的事不必想太多，指挥官，因为眼前要您伤脑筋的事可多着呢。 洲际列车预计再过10分钟就会抵达塔林市郊，之前的侦查梯队已经上传了侦查报告。 和您之前的判断一样，塔林作为进入帕尔迪斯基基地的唯一一个枢纽城市，早就因为被污染摧毁而进入封锁状态了。 先行探路的AR小队给出了同样答案——不解除塔林隔离墙的封锁，我们的列车无法继续前进，现在等待您进一步的指令。

CommanderSo soon? I thought I could at least get some sleep...这么快吗？我以为还可以再睡上一觉才……

KalinaWe didn't move Griffin's command center onto the Intercontinental Rail so that you can have an extravagant berth, Commander. All T-Dolls are prepped and ready to move out as soon as the train stops and you give the word.把格里芬指挥所搬上洲际列车，可不是为了方便您享受豪华卧铺列车旅行哦，指挥官。 各梯队人形都已经完成准备，只待停车后您一声令下就能出动。

CommanderLooks like the itinerary for this trip will be much busier than Belgrade.看样子，这一次旅游行程比贝莱格莱德要紧凑得多呢。

Reunion with Old Friends 故友重逢

...On the outskirts of Tallinn.……塔林市郊。

UMP45Commander, in the last two hours, unknown signals originating from Tallinn have been continuously trying to connect with M4. Other than that, there has been nothing out of the ordinary.指挥官，刚才两个小时，塔林市内的不明信号在不断尝试和M4连接，除此之外，没有发现异状。

UMP45No other Griffin Dolls have come under electronic attacks. We will continue to provide defensive support.其他格里芬梯队的人形也没有遭到电子攻击，我们会继续提供防壁支持。

UMP45That's it for my routine report. We need to keep up with their pace and head further into Tallinn.那么，定期联络结束，我们也要跟上她们的脚步一起前往塔林市了。

Is that so...? I see. Keep in touch.这样吗……我知道了，继续保持联系。

CommanderHmm?嗯？

KalinaCommander, do you have a moment?指挥官，你方便吗？

CommanderNo problem on my end so far. Is it a transmission from the advance team? That's always a priority. Whenever they get in touch, just patch them through directly.我这边没问题，是先遣小队的通讯吗？那是最优先级别，如果有的话，不必请示可以立刻帮我接过来。

KalinaNo, it's from 16LAB... It's Miss Persica.不，是来自16Lab的……帕斯卡小姐。

Commander(Here she comes... Exactly as Havier predicted.) ...Put her through.（来了吗……就跟哈维尔预言的一样。） ……帮我接上吧。

...Click.……滴。

PersicaAh... Commander... Long time no see.啊……指挥官……好久不见。

PersicaWell...um... I've actually got a lot to say, but now that we're finally talking face-to-face, for some reason...那个……唔……明明有很多想说的，但是到了这种关头，反而……

CommanderIt's been months since we last spoke. I'm glad to hear from you.好几个月没有与你联络了，很高兴接到你来电。

Persica...Good heavens, has it really only been months? It hasn't even been a year, yet it feels like it's been ages.……天啊，才几个月吗？明明不到一年，感觉却像是过了很久了。

CommanderYes, I'm sure these last few months...have been really rough...for both of us.是的，我想这几个月……对我们彼此来说，都是一段难熬的时期。

PersicaCommander, I'm actually getting in touch to discuss...指挥官，实际上我找你，是为了……

CommanderM4, am I right?是为了M4，对吗？

PersicaOh...啊……

CommanderAs far as I remember, you have never called me for any other reason, so it's an easy guess.我印象中，你也不曾为了其他事情特地联络我，这还蛮好猜的。

Persica...Then I'll cut right to the chase.……那我就直接进入正题了。

PersicaI've been trying to get to the bottom of the Butterfly Incident this whole time. The place you're going to for your current mission is intimately related to both Lyco and the incident itself.一直以来，我都在追查蝴蝶事件的真相。而你这次要去的地方，无论是同莱柯还是事件本身，都有着千丝万缕的联系。

PersicaHowever, ever since the last classified military operation, I've been under heavy surveillance and haven't been able to get in touch with my girls in the AR Team...但是在那次被严密封锁的军事行动后不久，我就一直处于被监视的状态，前段时间也和AR小队的孩子们失去了联系……

CommanderA lot happened after that operation.那次行动后，可是又发生了很多事呢。

Persica(Snorts) I saw the news coverage on Belgrade. Looks like I've fallen really behind on the recent developments.（苦笑）贝莱格莱德的报道我也看到了。看样子，我的脚步落后的可不是一点半点程度。

PersicaSo where is the AR Team?那么AR小队她们呢？

CommanderThey're away on a mission. I was just about to contact the advance team that M4 is accompanying and check on their progress in Tallinn. Would you like to me to set up a channel for you?已经出发执行任务了。 我正准备联系M4所在的先遣梯队，看看她们侦查塔林的任务进展如何，要为你转接给她吗？

PersicaNo! I think we should wait...等一下！先别……

CommanderTo be completely honest, I don't really know how to deal with her. It always feels like she's avoiding me. I think it might benefit M4's mental state to catch up with an old friend during this brief period of free time before the battle begins.说实话那个孩子我也不太好应付，总觉得她一直在回避我。 我以为趁开始战斗前有点空档，跟熟悉的人叙叙旧也能让M4稳定一些。

PersicaI'd still rather not...还是不要了……

CommanderSo, Miss Persica, you want to help M4, yet you don't want to face her. Why is that?所以，帕斯卡小姐，你既想帮助M4，又不想直接面对她，是为什么呢？

Persica...It's hard to explain.……我很难回答。

CommanderIf you have a job for me or are planning to ask me for a favor, then I'd like to know "why".如果要下委托，或着想要我给予协助的话，那我也希望能够知道“为什么”。

PersicaShouldn't you PMCs act like proper mercs...? Just take the money and don't ask any questions... I'll pay you in full.民间军事公司不就应该跟雇佣兵一样……拿钱办事就好了吗？酬劳我会给足的。

CommanderI would've agreed to that in the past. However, right now I must take the safety of all Griffin members, humans and Dolls, into consideration. You want to protect your beloved creation, while I also want to protect my important subordinates. Do you honestly think you can buy our mutual trust with money, Persica?如果是以前的我应该会同意这种看法。 但是现在，我也得为格里芬全体人类和人形员工的安全做考虑。你想保护你心爱的作品，我也想保护我重视的部下。 你觉得钱能买到我们之间的信赖吗，帕斯卡？

Persica falls silent when confronted with such a sharp question. After a long time, she finally lowers her head in defeat.这个质问令通讯频道上的帕斯卡陷入了一段很长的沉默。 过了好半晌，帕斯卡缓缓地垂下头去。

Persica...I owe that girl...M4...too much.……我对那孩子……M4……亏欠太多了。

PersicaM4 is especially precious to me. I wanted to protect her to the best of my ability, and that was how the AR Team came to be...M4对我而言有特别的意义，我想尽己所能地保护她。所以才有了AR小队……

PersicaI kept loading her with unnecessary burdens just to shape her into the perfect masterpiece in my vision. I didn't realize my mistake until she left. What on earth have I done?我为了完成我心目中完美的作品而在她身上增加了不该增加的负担，在她离开后我才醒悟过来，我到底做了什么？

PersicaTo satisfy my own selfish desires, not only did I hurt her, I also kept letting her companions get taken away.我为了满足自己的私欲，不仅伤害了她，还不断地让她重要的朋友被夺走。

PersicaI even set her loose back into this cruel and hostile world. My dearest friend got seriously injured because of this...我还放任她回到那个残酷而充满敌意的世界，甚至是连我的挚友也因此负了重伤……

Commander...Miss Persica, all birds must leave their nests eventually. M4 never stopped growing; we are all witnesses to her achievements. You should have more faith in your child.……帕斯卡小姐，鸟儿终有一天会展翅离巢。 M4在不断地成长，她的表现我们有目共睹，你应该信任你的孩子。

PersicaThat's...not what I meant, but yes, you are right.我……并不是这个意思。不过，嗯，你也说得没错。

CommanderI have another question - how did you find out I'm going to Tallinn? If there's a security loophole in our intelligence system, I must find and seal it.我还有个问题，你是怎么知道我来塔林了？如果有泄漏情报的源头，我就得设法找出来加以封闭。

PersicaI've been trying to search for you and the AR Team for a long time, but to no avail.过去的一段时间里，我不断尝试搜索你和AR小队成员的下落，却一直没有成果。

PersicaBut since the media have captured many traces of Doll activity in the Belgrade Incident, I was able to surmise that you and the Griffin Dolls were all safe.不过鉴于在贝莱格莱德的事件中，媒体也捕捉到了很多人形活动的踪迹，我分析过后确信你跟格里芬人形们都平安无事。

PersicaAlso, Havier seemed to be quite concerned and watchful about the series of events, so...I looked into the transaction records of his personal account.而哈维尔一直对这一系列事特别关注，所以……我稍微调查了一下他的私人账户付款纪录。

CommanderOh, so I suppose other than killing Mr. Havier, there is no other way to plug up the leak. Can't be helped then. Right, now that my question was answered, let's return to the subject. What kind of services would you like me to provide?啊，看样子除了把哈维尔先生灭口以外，没有其他堵住泄漏管道的手段啦，真没办法。 那么，我的疑问解决了，回到正题吧。你希望我提供怎样的服务呢？

PersicaI was going to ask you to call back the AR Team and have them return to 16LAB, or at least move them away from the frontlines to a safer location.我原本希望你召回AR小队，让她们回来16Lab，或着远离前线的安全位置。

PersicaBut having listened to you, I think I might have almost made another wrong decision...但是听了刚才那番话，我觉得自己可能又差一点做出了错误的决定……

CommanderWith the operation already under way, any random changes to my commands or the deployment of our forces would only cause unnecessary confusion. Even if you had made that request, I wouldn't have agreed to it. Besides...I have the feeling that M4 is seeking something. I believe even if I gave that order, she wouldn't be willing to leave just like that.作战已经开始了，这种情况下随意更改命令与梯队序列，只会造成无谓的混乱。 就算帕斯卡小姐提出这样的要求，我也不会接受的。 而且……M4她，我总觉得她在追寻些什么。我想即使下达命令，她也不会愿意就这么离开的。

PersicaI suppose you're right... Sorry, I was being inconsiderate.我想也是呢……抱歉，是我太过任性了。

CommanderIt's understandable... Kalin, could you give Miss Persica permission to access our command system as an observer?不过在合理的范围内……格琳，能把指挥系统以观察者模式授权给帕斯卡小姐吗？

KalinaHuh? I certainly can, but giving an outsider direct access to our battle situation...? Are you sure about that?欸？可以是可以啦，但是把战况直播给外部人员……没问题吗？

CommanderPersica designed the drones we use to transmit our signals; she and 16LAB have been supporting Griffin this whole time, which makes her hardly an outsider. We're going to face many unknown threats in this operation, so I hope Miss Persica can lend us her wisdom in helping us steer clear of danger.我们用来转发信号的无人机也都是帕斯卡的设计，她跟16Lab支持格里芬至今，不算外人。 这一次作战要面对很多未知威胁，我希望能借助帕斯卡小姐的智慧来避开危险。

KalinaAlright, I trust your judgment.好吧，我相信指挥官的判断。

KalinaMiss Persica, I have given you access clearance as an observer. From now on you'll be able to connect to our battlefield surveillance channel.帕斯卡小姐－－您的观察者权限已授权，从现在起您可以同步到我们的战场监测频道了。

CommanderIf you see anything suspcious or any potential threats, please notify me. However, I'll still have the final say when it comes to making any decisions. Is that acceptable, Miss Persica?如果你看到任何的可疑迹象，或着潜在威胁，就跟我说一声。 但是最后怎么判断，还是由我这边来下决定。可以吗，帕斯卡小姐？

Persica...Thank you, Commander. I will do my best to repay you afterwards.……谢谢你，指挥官。在这之后我会设法报答你的。

CommanderHow about treating me to a coffee?那酬劳就算成一杯咖啡如何？

PersicaWhat?咦？

CommanderYou said you would make me a coffee back when we first met.你说过要请我喝咖啡的，刚见面的时候。

PersicaOh... Jeez, what's wrong with me? I completely forgot about that after I moved.啊……真是的，我在搞什么，搬家后我完全忘记了这档事。

PersicaBy the way, I put lots of sugar in my coffee. Lovely, I'll look forward to it.Oh, what a shame. I'm Team Black Coffee.对了，我会给咖啡加很多的方糖喔。那还真是令人期待呢。我是黑咖啡派的，真可惜。

CommanderLovely, I'll look forward to it.那还真是令人期待呢。

PersicaYou've also got a sweet tooth, haven't you? That's a great discovery. I'm sure we'll get along splendidly.原来指挥官也是甜党？这可真是伟大的新发现，我们应该会很合得来。

CommanderOh, what a shame. I'm Team Black Coffee.我是黑咖啡派的，真可惜。

PersicaWhen in Rome, do as the Romans do. Still, I suppose I can make an exception for you, Commander.如果是客人，就得学会入境随俗。不过，因为是指挥官的关系，要我破例也是无所谓。

PersicaAnyway, it's decided then. When everything settles down, I'll invite you to my lab.那么，就这样约定了。等这一切尘埃落定后，我会邀请你来我的研究室。

...Outside the Intercontinental Railway Station, Tallinn.……塔林市，洲际铁路车站外围。

A gunshot breaks the silence that sits upon the ruins. More shots follow and grow increasingly frequent.一声枪响打破了宁静的废墟气息，随之而来的是越来越密集的交火音。

M4 SOPMOD IIPhew, that was close! RO, you alright?呼！刚才好险啊，RO你还好吗？

RO635I'm fine... Dammit, we haven't run into Paradeus, but there are automatic weapon platforms everywhere.我没事……可恶，帕拉蒂斯的家伙没碰上，但是到处都是自动炮塔。

ST AR-15Our objective is to find a safe path for the train to proceed towards the base in Tallinn. If we leave these defensive facilities be, there's no way the train can pass through the city without taking damage... We must eliminate the mortars along the railway tracks.我们的任务是为洲际列车找出一条前往塔林基地的安全道路。 若放任这些防卫设施开火，那么列车肯定无法安全通过市区……这些铁路沿线的自动炮塔，必须排除。

RO635That is true, but some of these turrets are even protected by force fields - very nasty.话是这么说，但那些自动炮塔甚至有些还装备了护盾装置，非常难啃。

RO635They're giving us a one-sided beatdown here. It's uncertain if we can even withdraw safely, let alone take them out! We need support from the HOC!现在这样被压着打，别说排除障碍，我们能不能安全撤离都成问题了！我们需要更大威力的重装小队的支援！

M4 SOPMOD IIBut the HOC are still with the Commander; it'll take them a while to catch up. RO, aren't you equipped for electronic warfare? Can't you hack into the operation system of those mortars and take control?重装小队还在指挥官那里，要过一段时间才能跟上来吧。 RO，你不是会电子战吗？能不能黑进那些炮塔的作业系统里夺取权限？

RO635You make it sound so easy... The problem is that these old turret models switch to an entirely closed circuit once they've been set to auto mode. In other words, I can only get in by plugging myself directly into their control panels, or connecting to their intranet node!你说的倒简单……但问题是这些老式炮塔，启动自律模式后就会切换成封闭线路。 换句话说，我得贴到那些炮塔的操作面板前，或者连上它们的内网节点才可能接上线！

M4 SOPMOD IIWhat...? Why is it such a pain?!唉……这么麻烦的吗？

RO635What do you expect? These systems are ancient stuff from a bygone era. They're such a headache...要不然呢，都是上个世代的老旧系统了，我也很头痛啊……

ST AR-15Actually, that isn't entirely impossible. We can draw the turrets' attention and cover RO so that she can head for their blind spot and hack them from there... ...What do you think? Does the plan sound plausible, M4?其实也不是不能一试。我们吸引炮塔的注意力，然后掩护RO推进到炮塔的死角与其连接侵入…… ……你觉得呢，这个计划感觉应该能行？M4？

M4A1(You can do it? Then I'll leave this to you.)（能够入侵吗？那么，这里就交给你了。）

M4A1...That won't be necessary.……不需要。

ST AR-15But won't that...但是这样一来……

M4A1Load your weapons and prepare to move. I'll try to connect to the defense system and deactivate it, but it won't stay off for too long. After that, we'll have to run directly into Tallinn City Station. Is that clear?大家装好子弹准备行动，我会设法连接并关闭防卫系统，但是无法持续太久。 在那之后，我们要一口气趁机冲进塔林市车站里。听清楚了吗？

RO635But how can you possibly do...但是那种事，怎么可能……

ST AR-15Hush, RO. Trust M4. Get ready and wait for the signal.嘘。RO，相信M4吧，大家准备好，等待信号。

M4A1Ready... Three, two, one... Now!准备——三、二、一……现在！

The deafening sound of artillery fire that was resounding through the streets just a second ago comes to a sudden halt.原本震耳欲聋、覆盖整条大街的炮火声瞬间戛然而止。

ST AR-15 throws a rock outside and watches as it roll all the way down the street without triggering any attacks, then she walks out into the open.AR15朝外扔出了一颗石头，看着石子滚过整条街道也没有激起任何反击后，率先站了出来。

ST AR-15Start moving! Head for the station! Be snappy!开始移动，目标车站！动作快！

The Griffin Dolls dash inside Tallinn City Station without a hitch.没有遭遇到任何攻击与阻挠，格里芬人形们一鼓作气冲进了塔林车站内部。

RO635I can't believe it...! All those weapon platforms around the station...真不敢相信……！车站周围的这么多自动炮台都……

M4 SOPMOD IIThey don't retaliate even when we fire at them! They're completely paralyzed!就算朝它们开火也不会招来反击，全部都瘫痪掉了！

RO635They all got hacked in one go. How on earth did you do that, M4?刚才外面那些炮台一口气全部都被黑掉了，你到底是怎么办到的，M4？

M4A1...I've been given several new modules when I went through my neural upgrade that greatly augmented my electronic warfare capability. As the leader of the AR Team, I can't afford to keep putting my teammates in danger.……我之前的心智升级安装了一些新的模块，尤其是在电子战方面进行了大幅强化。 身为AR小队的队长，总不能再让我的队员们陷入险境之中。

ST AR-15Well done, M4. How's your neural cloud coping with the strain?干得好，M4。心智负担得住么？

M4A1Hmm, thanks for your concern... I could use some rest. Gotta catch my breath and let my head cool down a bit.嗯，谢谢关心……我想休息一下，喘口气，让脑袋稍微散热。

ST AR-15Don't rely on it too much.不要太依赖它。

M4A1Right...嗯……

M4 SOPMOD IIWhat were you two whispering about?你们在悄悄说什么？

M4A1Nothing. More importantly, RO, can you do me a favor? While I was trying to hack into the turrets, I detected a network node with very busy data traffic underneath the station. I believe it's the command center of the autonomous defense system... Find that, and we'll be able to access the system mainframe of Tallinn's city defenses.没什么。比起那个，RO，能帮我个忙吗？我刚才在尝试黑入炮台时，探测到车站地下应该有个数据传输非常频繁的网络节点，我推测是自律防御系统的指挥中心…… 找到那个的话，就能连接到塔林市的城防主系统架构了。

RO635A node, you say...? I'll set off right away then.节点是吗……我马上就去。

M4 SOPMOD III'll come and help too! Finding things is my forte!我也去帮忙！找东西的话人家最擅长了。

RO635Hmm... Node... Can you see any machine that looks like a computer or a terminal...?唔嗯……节点……有没有长得像是计算机或终端的机器……

M4 SOPMOD IIWhat about that at the customer service counter?计算机的话，是服务台的那个吗？

RO635Oh, a station control panel of the Intercontinental Railway... That would do.啊，洲际铁路的车站控制台……这个可以。

M4 SOPMOD IIM4 was amazing! I can't believe she's that good at electronic warfare! You should learn a few tricks from her, RO.刚才M4好厉害啊，没想到电子战可以做到那种程度！RO你该多向她学学的。

RO635(Mutters) That wasn't electronic warfare at all.那才不是什么电子战。（小声）

M4 SOPMOD IIHuh? What do you mean?诶？这是什么意思？

RO635Hacking into two or three machines at the same time and controling them is achievable through electronic warfare.电子战同时侵入两三台机体进行实时操纵，这种程度的话倒还可以理解。

RO635But the way she manipulated several dozen automated defenses was simply... Infiltrating an internal system that doesn't operate on the Zener Protocol without any physical contact is utterly inconceivable.但是，像她那样同时操纵几十门自动炮台，简直…… 在没有物理接触的情况下，直接侵入没有齐纳协议的内网系统，这种操作更是匪夷所思。

M4 SOPMOD II...You think M4 lied to us? But why would she do that?……你认为M4对我们说了谎？但是，为什么？

RO635Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. I have a feeling even she herself isn't too sure how she did it... In any case, let's leave everything till the mission is over. Alright, let me see... The switch should be...here.也许有，也许没有。我总觉得，她自己可能也不是很清楚那是怎么办到的……总之一切都等任务完成之后再说。 好啦，让我看看这家伙的开关在……这里吗。

Click... Hummmmmm...喀嚓……嗡嗡嗡嗡嗡嗡……

The lights inside the station come on all of a sudden. The air conditioning system that hasn't been in use for years also whirs into action, blowing up a puff of dust.车站内的照明忽然全部点亮起来，原本停止多年的空调系统也全部再度转动，扬起一片尘埃。

The originally silent underground section of the station is soon filled with mechanical sounds.原本寂静的车站地下空间，很快被机械运转的噪音填满。

RO635Huh? So the power supply is still operational. That's helpful. Begin connection. Accessing... Intercontinental Railway Defense System... Good, here it is. M4 do you copy?咦？这样看来，供电系统都还在吗，帮大忙了。 开始连接，查询……洲际铁路防卫系统……好，有了。M4，听得到吗？

M4A1Loud and clear. The lights came on in the main concourse. Was that your doing?收到，听得很清楚。车站大厅这边恢复照明了，是你干的吗？

RO635Yes, the power grid in Tallinn is fully functional. The equipment is in such pristine condition... How should I say this... It's hard to believe all these generators in a contamination zone that's been abandoned for decades are still running normally. It almost feels as if someone was still maintaining the basic infrastructure even after the city has been sealed off.是的，塔林的供电网络十分充足。设备完好到……该怎么说，很难相信是已经放弃几十年的污染区，有这么多发电机还可以正常运作。 总感觉像是有人在弃城后还继续维护塔林的基础建设似的。

M4A1Is that so...? Is the control center of the quarantine wall down there as well?是这样吗……隔离墙控制中心也在里面吗？

RO635No...I haven't been able to access anything related to the quarantine wall. I suppose they wouldn't have put the city's defense system together with the quarantine wall control system.不……没有找到隔离墙相关的权限，城内的防御系统也不会和城外的隔离墙控制系统放在一起吧？

M4A1You have a point... Then what about the defense system along the railway tracks? Can you shut it down?说得也是……那么，铁路沿线的防卫系统呢？能关掉吗？

RO635I can only operate a small number of the turrets around the station from this control panel. A considerable amount of the defensive mechanisms are currently disconnected, but it's shown here that they're still consuming power. This means they could already be activated and have entered auto mode by disconnecting from the central control room.从车站控制台这里只能操作周边一小部分的自动炮塔，有相当多防卫装置处于断线状态，但却显示有在消耗电力。 这表示它们可能已经被激活，并切断了跟中央主控室的网络进入自律模式。

M4A1If you can't deactivate them directly... RO, locate the power generators for me.如果没办法直接关掉……RO，你帮我查一下发电机的位置。

RO635I can do that. They're mostly concentrated around a power plant on the outskirts of Tallinn. Why do you ask?可以，大致集中在塔林城郊几处发电厂内。你问这个是想做什么？

M4A1I'm going to cut off those platforms' external power supply.我要切断那些自动炮台的外部供电。

RO635But even so, the weapon platforms still have auxiliary batteries and won't be put out of action immediately. It is the safest option to wait for their batteries to run out, but there's no telling how long that's going to take...但是，即使那样子炮台还是有备份的电池，不会立刻失去作用的。 虽然就这样等到电池耗尽是最保险的，但不知道还要等上多久时间……

M4A1Once their power supply is cut off, they won't be able to deploy their force fields as they consume a lot of energy.断电之后，耗能大的护盾就无法任意展开。

M4A1In their weakened state, we'll be able to destroy them with ease.这样一来，我们就可以将这些被削弱的自动炮台轻易摧毁掉。

RO635That's a possible solution. However, we're a fair distance away from the power plant. Judging by the map, we'll come across a lot of defensive facilities on the way...这也是种方法。 不过，我们要前往发电厂的距离有些遥远，而且按照地图来看，途中会遭遇大量的防卫设施……

M4A1You don't have to worry about that. The Commander have arranged for very dependable backup for us.不必担心，指挥官为我们准备好了最可靠的后援。

...On the outskirts of Tallinn.……塔林市郊。

UMP45Oh? We just received an additional request. Our objective is to destroy the power plant in Tallinn. I've just uploaded the coordinates.喔？ 刚才收到了追加需求，目标是摧毁塔林发电厂，坐标我已经通过云图上传了。

Gr G11What? We literally just sat down! I thought I could at least take a nap...什么？才刚坐下来休息没多久，我以为可以继续睡觉的说……

416And here I thought you were just going to stand by and watch them get wiped out.还以为你要袖手旁观看她们全军覆没呢。

UMP45We don't have to get involved in situations that they can handle on their own. We're the safety fuse - there's no point in pulling ourselves taut so soon. 9, are the explosives ready?她们能自己处理的威胁，就不需要我们出手。我们是保险丝，没有必要急着把自己绷断。 9，炸药都准备好了吗？

UMP9Ja. The drones deployed from the train will airdrop supply crates armed with explosives in five minutes.没问题，从列车起飞的无人机，5分钟后会过来空投带有炸药的补给箱。

UMP45Perfect. We will most probably run into some resistance put up by the defensive mechanisms. I'm sure you all know the drill. This is the part where we get to earn our bonus, so perk up.完美。到发电厂的路上预估会遭遇到些许防卫设施抵抗，你们都很清楚应该怎么做。 这可是额外赚的份，大家都打起精神来吧。

Shackled Spirit I 被束缚的幽灵Ⅰ

...In the power plant district on the border of Tallinn.……塔林市外缘，发电厂区。

UMP45Status report, 9.情况如何，9？

UMP9(Grunts) Right, I'm in. It went more smoothly than I'd expected. There weren't too many obstacles in the underground sewers. We should be able to avoid most of the defenses on the way to the power plant by going through here.嘿咻……好，我进来了。 比想象中更顺利，地下水道没有太多阻碍。 这样一来，我们可以避开到发电厂路上大部分的防御设施。

UMP45Alright, then we'll come after you. 416, keep an eye on Gr G11 and bring up the rear.那么，我们也跟上吧。416，后卫跟G11就都交给你了。

416I may be decked with new equipment, but I'm still doing the same janitor's work...虽然换了身新装备，但是干的还是跟以前一样的擦屁股活吗……

UMP45Exactly. I'm going on ahead.就是这样，那我先走一步啦。

416Tsk... Hey, wake up!啧……喂，快醒来！

Gr G11(Snores) ...Ow, that hurt! What the heck?! What was that for? Isn't it Sunday today?呼……哎，好疼！ 搞什么，突然打人，今天不是周日吗？

416Sleep has scrambled your head, huh... I don't have time for your nonsense. We're setting off!居然还睡昏头……没时间听你废话，出发了！

UMP45 and 416, who's dragging Gr G11 along, gradually make their away towards the power plant, following the route that UMP9 scouted.跟随着UMP9探索出的通道，UMP45和拖带着G11的HK416也循同样路径缓缓靠近发电厂。

UMP9Are you here yet?快到位置了吗？

UMP45The access port is just a short distance ahead.再往前一点就是可以连接系统的接口了。

Right then, a gunshot muffled by a silencer comes from the end of the path.就在这时，通道尽头的方向传来了没有消音器遮掩的枪响。

UMP9...I've been spotted! Stay away for now! The exit is being monitored by drones!……被发现了，先别过来！出口附近有无人机监视！

The gunshots grow more and more frequent and are soon accompanied by numerous blasts and tremors.很快的，枪声变得越来越密集，还混杂着不少爆炸声跟震动。

UMP9Whoa, I'm in real trouble! Automatic mortars, drones, sentry bots... It feels like half the city's defense system is after me, 45!哇，这下麻烦了！自动炮台、无人机、警备机器人……感觉半个城市的防卫系统都追着我来了，45姐！

UMP45Hold on and don't get killed. Give me 30 seconds. Change of plan - 416 and Gr G11 give suppressive fire to draw some attention away from 9 and cover me while I hack into the mortars to deactivate them!撑住别被干掉，给我30秒时间。计划变更，416和G11火力压制帮9吸引注意力，掩护我我来入侵接口瘫痪炮台！

416So you're sending Gr G11 and me to die with 9? How very like you!让9送死还不够，想要我跟G11也跟着陪葬吗？真像是你会干的事呢！

UMP45I would love to watch a 416 with a reloaded neural cloud and no memory of this to die again for me. That would certainly be very entertaining, but if we all get killed here, no one will be left to resurrect you.我很乐意看到重新载入心智后失忆的你，忘记这一切然后以后为我再死一次－－虽然那样也很有趣，不过呢，要是我们几个全在这边被干掉，可就没人帮你们复活了。

416Tsk. Gr G11, with me!啧，G11跟我来！

UMP9I'm moved to tears! We're helping each other out like a proper family! Whoaaa! Those shots almost got me...!好感动，大家互帮互助才像家人嘛！哇啊啊！这几发子弹好险……！

UMP45 tears off a metal cover on the wall inside the underground sewer, exposing the disorganized cables within. She then plugs one of the cables into a port on her arm.UMP45拆开了地下水道墙上的一块金属盖子，露出了凌乱的管线，随即将其中一条管线接入金属手臂上的接口。

UMP45Bingo, this does connect to the system... But there are more of them than I expected.BINGO，果然能连上……不过这数量比我想象中的多。

416Are you sure you can sort out the weapon platforms? If you can't do it, just admit it now. It isn't too late to abort the mission yet.你确定真的能把自动炮台搞定？办不到就早点认怂，现在取消作战还来得及哦。

UMP45Don't worry. Considering you guys' track record of being unreliable, I've bought insurance beforehand.别担心，考虑到你们过去的种种不靠谱纪录，我有事前买好保险。

UMP45...Access clearance acquired. On the count of three.……权限已开放，数三秒一起上吧。

UMP9Jeez... All my bullets got deflected by their force...hmm?呼……打出去的子弹都被护盾给……嗯？

All of a sudden, the defenses around the power plants shudder as if they were cold.忽然间，发电厂周边的自动炮台，都像是打了个寒颤般地抽搐了两下。

UMP945... She really delivered on her promise!45姐……果然说到做到呢！

416Now's the chance! Their force fields are down, fire!就是现在，炮台的护盾都消失了，开火！

The force fields stop functioning and the drones cease to make any evasive maneuvers. The turrets blow up one after the other under the hail of bullets.本应将子弹转移开的力场并没有发挥作用，无人机也停止了闪避动作，炮台在枪林弹雨中陆续被打穿爆炸。

Gr G11Easy peasy. That's the way I like it.轻轻松松，我喜欢这样的工作。

416Are you okay, UMP9?你还好吧，UMP9？

UMP9I'm fine! Looks like it worked. Without the force fields, these defense mechanisms are about as strong as Sangvis cannon fodder.我没事！看起来成功了，这些自动防卫系统少了护盾之后，就跟铁血的杂兵一样好对付呢。

UMP45That's because these things ARE Sangvis products to begin with... The drones, the mortars, even the surveillance devices and alarm system. Sangvis Ferri Industries had been manufacturing this military equipment even before the beginning of WWIII. They predate even the production of Dolls.因为这些东西本来就是铁血工造的产品……无人机，自动炮台，或者监视器跟警报装置都是。 铁血工造从三战以前就开始生产这些军用设备，远比人形要生产的更早也更多。

UMP9There you are, 45! Your EW move really helped me out back there.你出来啦，45姐！刚才的电子战压制帮了大忙呢。

416I'm by no means an expert in electronic warfare, but... Even with available pathways, isn't it normally impossible to hack a dozen mortars and drones at the same time?我对电子战没有太多深入的概念，但是…… 就算有可以侵入的线路，一次黑入十几个炮台和无人机，正常来说做不到吧？

UMP45That's true, not to mention I needed to maintain surveillance on M4, so my processing capacity was stretched pretty thin. However...as the AR Team had discovered, these defense mechanisms all operate within highly secure enclosed circuitry, but it's very convenient that the power and the data cables are in the same place. I could still render them inactive for a second or two, though just barely. As for wiping them out within such a small window of opportunity - that was entirely on you. So well done on completing the objective so efficiently.是这样没错，而且我还不能中断对M4的监控，运算资源非常吃紧。 不过……跟M4她们遭遇的一样，这些自动防卫系统都是使用高安全性的封闭线路，但是供电线和数据线都集成在一起，这倒是帮了大忙。 只是一两秒的话，勉强还能让它们停止行动。而在这短暂的时间将它们全部摧毁——完成这样高效的行动，就全是你们的功劳了。

UMP9We have really grown stronger, haven't we?这意思是，我们的战斗力真的变强了，对吧？

UMP45Of course, we didn't spend all that money for nothing.嗯，毕竟钱可不是白花的。

Gr G11Since you're all so dependable, does that mean I can pack up and go home?你们都那么可靠，是不是表示我可以提早下班了？

416Nope. You're getting paid, so don't slack on the job.不可以。既然拿了工资，就不许偷懒。

Gr G11Sigh... Why...唉……为什么嘛……

UMP45Alright, let's get back to business. Hand out the explosives. 9 and I are going to blow up the power plant, while 416 and Gr G11 continue on in the sewers to secure our escape route.好啦，赶紧办正事。分发炸药，我跟9去爆破发电厂，416跟G11确保下水道的退路。

UMP45Three, two, one...三、二、一……

...Click. An ear-shattering blast resounds through the heavens.……滴。震耳欲聋的爆破声响彻天际。

Pillars within the power plant are blown apart by the cleverly rigged explosives. As the roof collapses, the transformer and the natural gas storage tanks explode in a chain reaction.发电厂梁柱被巧妙埋设的炸弹所摧毁，当楼顶坍塌崩落之后，厂内的变压器、天然气储存槽也被波及而接二连三地爆炸。

The blinding blue light sets the gloomy skies ablaze. The dazzling scene lasts for several seconds before the debris sent flying come crashing down one after the other.蓝色的强光将昏暗的天空照得无比明亮，炫目的光景维持了几秒钟后，飞散的碎片也陆续落地。

After that, 416 pokes her head out from the sewers to survey their handiwork.这时，HK416才从下水道里探出头来评估成效。

416...This thermal power station seems to be completely destroyed. We did a really thorough job. That should paralyze at least half of the defense system.……看起来这个火力发电厂全毁了，干得真是彻底。 这样的话，防御系统至少得瘫痪一半了吧。

UMP945, are you alright?!45姐！你还好吗？

UMP45(Groans)呜……

UMP45 puts a hand against her forehead and leans unsteadily against the wall. UMP9 immediately tries to prop her up.UMP45按着额头，脚步有些不稳地靠在了墙上，UMP9见状连忙搀扶住她。

416What's wrong with 45?45她出了什么事？

Gr G11No idea... Her knees just buckled after the explosions...不知道啊……爆炸后就突然间腿软了……

UMP45I'm fine... It's just... There's suddenly a massive amount of signals...我没事……刚才只是……突然间有大量的连接信号源出现……

UMP9If we're conducting electronic warfare, I can help, 45.如果要进行电子战的话，我也能帮忙的，45姐。

UMP45No, just now... Several dozen...or maybe even several hundred signals were connecting with each other simultaneously.不是那样，刚才…… 有数十个，也可能有数百个信号，同时在互相链接。

UMP45When the power plant was destroyed, it's as though the entire city suddenly came back to life. It feels as if we've resurrected something...发电站一被破坏，这座城市反而像突然恢复了生命一般，仿佛什么东西复活了一样……

M4A1This is M4. AR Team, do you copy? Do you copy?!这里是M4，AR小队全员，听得到吗？听得到吗！

ST AR-15I cop...pzzzt...y!我听……滋滋滋……到！

ST AR-15The interference suddenly got stronger...to a higher location...pzzzt...maybe...干扰突然变强烈了……到高处……滋滋滋……说不定能－－

M4A1What on earth is happening...?到底发生了什么情况……

Clear VoiceI was mistaken. There is more than one signal. They're coming.我之前的判断错了，信号不仅仅只有一个，她们来了。

M4A1I know. The ringing in my ears... No, the strange noise from deep within my neural cloud...is getting louder... In any case, I should head to a more elevated location where reception is better, so that I can get back in touch with the others.我知道，耳鸣……不对，从我心智深处来的那个怪声……越来越大…… 总之，先到高处去，到收讯比较好的地方跟大家取回联系。

Clear VoiceBe careful.你要小心。

M4A1Yeah...I know. AR-15! SOP-II! RO635! Can you hear me? We're currently under severe interference! It's possibly a temporary phenomenon caused by the electromagnetic waves from the power plant explosion... Assemble at the entrance of the train station!嗯……我知道。 AR15！SOP2！还有RO635，听得见吗？ 现在遭遇严重的通讯干扰，可能是爆破发电厂后，电磁波造成的短暂现象……大家先到车站出口处集合！

Having climbed to the rooftop of Tallinn City Station, M4 still struggles to re-establish communications with her teammates.爬上了塔林车站顶楼的M4，努力地与小队成员取回通讯联系。

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city...同时，市街远方……

???Is she here?来了？

???Has the seal been broken?枷锁被解除了？

???She's here? The Savior is here?来了？ 救世主来了吗？

Blurry figures emerge from the rubble one after the other. They chatter excitedly with each other, buzzing with anticipation for what is about to happen.模糊的人影一个接一个从残砖破瓦堆中涌现。 它们吱吱喳喳地，议论着，企盼着接下来将要发生的事。

A girl gazes towards the station rooftop and studies M4A1.一个少女望向车站楼顶，紧盯着M4A1的身姿。

???A new body? No...she is carnage; she is destruction. No...not only that. Could she be the Chosen One? Will I finally be able to leave this place? Will she be able to save me?是新的身体吗？ 不……是破坏，是毁灭。 不……不仅仅是这样，是能被选中的人吗？ 我能离开这里吗？她能拯救我吗？

Confidential Information I 机密情报I

KalinaCommander, please come over here. We've received an anonymous message.指挥官，麻烦过来一下，我们收到了一个匿名的邮件。

What is it?这是？

KalinaInformation provided by WAVE Tech. It seems to be an audio recording this time?WAVE那边为我们提供的情报，似乎这次是一段录音？

Is this WAVE reliable?这个“WAVE”，真的可靠么？

KalinaHmm, it is indeed a very mysterious company. They have been giving us information without demanding any payment. We correspond through emails but the sender's address is always randomized and untraceable. However, all the intelligence they have supplied so far proved to be accurate. It's uncertain why they're aiding us, but I think they should be on our side.唔，的确是很神秘的一个公司。至今他们只提供过情报，却从来没有收过费。和我们只通过邮件往来，而且每次发送源都是乱数，没法追踪。 不过迄今为止，WAVE为我们提供的情报都是准确的。虽然不清楚为什么要帮助我们，但应该是站在我们这边没错吧。

【Oh, nothing - nothing whatsoever. You simply appear to have made an incredible sacrifice. Now both the general public and the political circle of the Pan-European Union are moved by our government's great sincerity and competence.】 【Protecting their ambassador at the cost of our own senior official's life - how absolutely touching. It's so perfect it almost feels premediated.】【当然不，完全没有。你们的痕迹只留在了被牺牲的表面，现在无论是泛欧的民间还是政界都倾向认为我们的政府表现出了最大的诚意和实力。】 【不惜牺牲自己的高官也要保护对方的大使，实在是太让人感动了。这完美到让人感觉是谋划好的。】

【Humph, the plan went terribly wrong though. "Vympel" was this close to storming the city.】【哼，计划可是出了大的岔子，就差一点点，“信号旗”就要进城了。】

【"It's a bit of a shame, but there's no point in holding Belgrade. Besides, we already have the Pike Node. Thank goodness K was desperate enough to make such a risky move. The absence of Statesec forces actually made it easier to disassociate ourselves from this whole business." I bet that's what you're thinking, am I right?】【“虽然有点小小的遗憾，不过那个城市并没有太多控制的必要，而且梭鱼节点也已经到手了。幸亏了那个‘K’的铤而走险，安全局的部队不出现反而利于撇清关系。”我想你是这么想的吧？】

【You prattle too much, Havier.】【你废话太多了，哈维尔。】

【Sorry. Then let me tell you something you'd like to know.】 【You'd better extend your gratitude to that Griffin Commander. The Pan-European Union is so appreciative of the protection Chairwoman Ulrich received under those circumstances that they've already convinced Milošević and the representatives of the other countries in Southern Europe. That's really good news.】 【Of course, that young lady is also a very gifted diplomat. Still, despite the many demands that she has successfully lobbied on the Union's behalf, the two Intercontinental Railway construction projects are still going to be undertaken on terms that are acceptable to us.】【抱歉抱歉，那我告诉你一些你想知道的。】 【你得好好感谢那个格里芬的指挥官，泛欧联盟内部对乌尔利赫代理主席在这种情况还被保护下来赞赏有佳，他们已经说服了米洛舍维奇和其他南欧国家代表，这可是个重大的好消息。】 【当然，那个小姑娘也十分有外交天赋，不过她虽然为泛欧争取了很多条件，两条洲际铁路的建设还是会在我们能接受的范围内进行。】

【Humph, it's not as if they could afford to refuse the deal. The two railway projects are more in line with the Union's interests. That bastard caught wind and shoved that extremely green German young lady out as a scapegoat so that he wouldn't have to deal with this himself.】 【He was banking on the fact that if Ulrich had died, the Pan-European Union would have been in the position to make exorbitant demands. What a sleazy crook. But never mind that now. Tell your intermediary that the Central People's Committee is very happy with how the situation has turned out.】【哼，他们不可能不答应，这两条铁路更符合泛欧的利益。反倒是那个混蛋听到风声自己不敢出面，让刚刚上来的德国小姑娘出来当替死鬼。】 【他考虑的是如果乌尔利赫在当时死了，泛欧就更可以漫天要价了，真是肮脏。罢了，告诉你的中间人，中央人民委员会对整个事件的结果很满意。】

【I bet the folks sitting in the first three rows are even happier about your success in crushing the activities of the Moscovite radicalists and the Military, isn't that right, comrade?】【恐怕不仅仅是对事件，那些前三排的人对你打压莫斯科激进派和军方的行动的结果更满意吧，局长同志。】

【As I said, you prattle too much. This conversation ends here.】【我说过，你废话太多了，通话到此为止。】

The audio recording starts playing.开始播放录音。

The loud murmuring of a discussion. A phone starts ringing suddenly and silences the entire room. The ringing persists for a long time before someone finally picks it up after a cough.嘈杂的讨论声。 电话铃突然响起，房间里立即安静了下来。 铃声响了很久，在一声咳嗽声后，电话被接起。

【Who's this?】【哪位。】

【What, do you dread picking up a call from me so much?】 【If you're so reluctant to talk to me on the phone, I can write to you next time. After all, the postbox on Lubyanka Square is much more accessible than a line to Internal Affairs.】【怎么，这么不想接我的电话吗？】 【您要这么不乐意，下回我可以写信给您，毕竟卢比扬卡广场的邮箱比内务系统的管线好找多了。】

【You can save your gibberish till I have you locked up in the interrogation room.】【你的这些废话，可以等你被我抓进审讯室的时候再说。】

【You sound rather piqued. I don't understand. Shouldn't you be happy about being the big winner of the last game?】【听起来你好像很生气？我不理解，你作为上次游戏的赢家，为什么不表现得高兴点？】

【I'm certain my mood will dramatically improve if I can find out where you are calling me from and who it was that put you through.】【如果我现在能知道你是从哪里打出的这个电话，打给我的人又是谁，我自然可以更高兴一些。】

【You used me to reopen the base that was supposed to remain sealed indefinitely under the Relics Treaty so that Statesec will seemingly have nothing to do with the Pike Nodes. Now that I've done my part and you no longer have use for me, you want to kill me? That isn't very gracious of you, Chief.】【你利用我打开了被遗迹条约永久封闭的基地，彻彻底底撇清了梭鱼节点和安全局的关系，现在觉得我没用了又想把我灭口么？这样做事似乎太不厚道了一些啊，局长先生。】

【I don't know what you're talking about.】【我不明白你在说什么。】

【That's okay, it's enough that I know. You may be an ungrateful scumbag, but I won't hold it against you.】 【That Carter got you good in the Butterfly Incident, I bet you still hold a grudge against him. I've prepared a gift for you - one that can send Carter to hell.】【是的是的，只要我明白就行了，虽然你这么过分，但我是不会介意的。】 【蝴蝶事件里你被那个卡特狠狠坑了一把，我想你肯定还耿耿于怀对吧，我准备了一份礼物给你，可以用来送卡特上路的。】

【What kind of gift?】【什么礼物？】

【Evidence of Carter and his men conducting illegal research on the Relics. I'm sure such evidence is enough for you to get them a secret execution. What do you say?】【证明了卡特这些人非法进行遗迹研究的证据，我想这些证据足够让你送他们秘密枪决了吧？】

【Humph, and how do I receive this gift?】【哼，那我怎么拿到这份礼物呢。】

【Simple. Have someone get it for you.】【很简单，让你的人拿回去就是了。】

All of a sudden, there comes the sound of a door being blasted open, followed by a lot of clattering footsteps and the sound of metal colliding.突然传出了爆炸和破门的声音，大量的脚步声和金属碰撞的声音。

【Don't move! Get down on the floor! Clear out the room! Chop, chop!】【不许动！全部趴下！清空房间！快快快！】

More continuous footsteps and the sound of a door being kicked open.不断的脚步声和踢开门的声音。

【Sir, the area has been cleared. The room is completely empty. All we found was a box.】【报告，区域已经清空完毕，房间里什么人都没有，只有一个盒子。】

【Oho, your men are faster than I expected. I suppose they ARE professionals.】【哦呵，你们的人速度很快啊，出乎我的意料，不愧是专业的。】

【Tsk...】【啧……】

【You didn't think I would be stupid enough to just sit there and let you catch me, did you? Still, I do applaud Statesec for solving my encryption algorithms so quickly.】【你不会以为我傻到会让你逮到吧？不过能这么快破解我的隐蔽算法，我还是得称赞你们安全局一下。】

【I am going to get you one day.】【你迟早有一天会被我逮到。】

【Before that, take a good look at the box I left behind. Those coordinates are extraordinarily valuable. I look forward to seeing who you'd send over there, hehehe.】【在那之前，好好研究一下我留下的盒子吧，那个坐标可是异常得珍贵，我很期待你们会派遣什么样的人过去，嘿嘿嘿。】

The audio recording starts playing.开始播放录音。

Some low-frequency mechanical noise and the sound of water dripping drop by drop. Metal doors are being opened one by one in the distance, until a door close by is also opened.电子机械的低频噪音，水滴一滴滴落下的声音。 远处有铁门被打开了，一道接着一道，终于最近的地方也传来了铁门打开的声音。

【I honestly didn't expect we'd meet here.】【我真是没能想到，我们会有在这里见面的时候。】

【...You took your sweet time.】【……怎么这么久才来。】

【I am neither your guardian nor your parole officer. Not to mention parole is out of the question considering what you've done.】【我既不是你的监护人，也不是你的保释官，更何况你做出这种事本来就不可能保释了。】

【Tsk. Are you here to jeer at me, or perhaps you even agree with their methods?】【啧，你是来嘲笑我的么，还是说你也认同他们的做法。】

【Leaving that aside, can you please tell me first what compelled you to do something as stupid as trying to seize the Pike Node?】【先不说我认不认可他们的做法，你可以告诉我你到底是出于什么考虑才会做出去抢梭鱼节点这种蠢事的？】

【...】【…………】

【Don't want to say? Then let me guess. Is it because of something that happened when you were little that made you hate everything about the Relics? It's a bit of a cliché, but it's not like I don't understand the effects of childhood trauma.】【不愿说么？那我来猜一猜。因为你小时候的事，所以对和遗迹有关的一切都深恶痛绝？虽然这样有点俗套，但是童年的阴影我也不是不能理解。】

【...】【…………】

【Still, I suppose even you can tell that "Vympel" had been standing by outside of Belgrade the whole time. You can't seriously believe that Chief Zelinsky would only be counting on you and the PMC, right?】【不过我想你也是猜得到的，当时“信号旗”可是一直在贝莱格莱德城外待命的，你以为那个泽林斯基局长会只依靠你和那个承包商么？】

【In the end, everyone was the same, so I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands.】【结果到最后，所有人都是一样的，那我只能用我的方式。】

【Since when have you become so impulsive? I admit being a hero is a very tempting idea, but whether you're actually a hero is for others to decide, not you.】 【Of course, it's not like I don't understand how you feel, so here I am again, ready to wipe your ass for you.】【你什么时候变得那么冲动了。我承认当一个英雄的感觉很诱人，但能否被称为英雄是由别人评判的，而非你自己。】 【当然我也不是不能理解你的感受，所以我又来替你擦屁股了。】

【Humph... You only came because you have your own agenda. Say it then. What's the current situation?】【哼……你不过是有你的目的罢了。说吧，现在是什么情况。】

【The Chief has already delegated different tasks to them. I have a feeling the net will soon be tightened. Naturally, the opposition's resistance will intensify, and the conflict may very well get out of hand.】【局长已经安排了他们的工作，我觉得没多久大网就会收紧，当然对方的反抗也会更加激烈，冲突说不定会失控。】

【So?】【所以说呢？】

【Don't let your past cloud your judgment. Seizing or even destroying that Pike won't change anything. If you want to do something about it, you'll have to get to the root of the problem.】 【There's a Relics storage facility that's supposed to be sealed permanently in the Paldiski Submarine Base. The Pike Node that Lyco obtained was taken from that very base. Come to think of it, you and this particular node have some common history.】【不要被你的过去影响了判断，夺下甚至毁掉那台梭鱼都不能改变现状，要做就做到彻底解决问题。】 【帕尔迪斯基潜艇基地中有一个遗迹设备永久封存的管库基地，莱科获得的梭鱼节点正是从那边被运出来的。说起来，这个节点和你还颇有渊源。】

【Humph, so this was the node from the Butterfly Incident? What kind of support am I going to get?】【哼，蝴蝶行动时那个节点么。我能得到多少支持。】

【I knew you would be interested. K, who you absolutely despise, will be waiting for you there.】【我就知道你会感兴趣，你最不喜欢的那个K，会在当地等你。】

【Are you joking?】【你在开玩笑么？】

【I actually think the two of you will find this partnership very enjoyable. He knows that area very well, which will be very helpful for you.】 【Also, that Griffin Commander will be there as well to aid you. However, they're already under heavy surveillance from the Military, so they'll probably run into a lot of obstacles during the operation. But even so, I don't believe that'll be a problem.】【我倒觉得你和他的合作还挺愉快的，他对那个地区有足够的了解，对你会有很大的帮助。】 【另外，那个格里芬的指挥官也会支援到你，不过他们已经被军方高度监视了，恐怕行动当中也遇到很多阻碍吧。即便如此，我相信这不是什么问题。】

【Humph... You'd better invest more on the Commander. If you lose Griffin, you won't be able to achieve your aim, will you? At the very least, your intermediary won't be too pleased about that.】【哼……在指挥官身上多花点血本吧，要是失去了格里芬你的目的也无法达到吧，至少你的中间人可会不太高兴。】

【Haha, you're quite well-informed. My intermediary is already trying to think of a way to get poor Kryuger out. After all, losing such an important business partner doesn't really sit well with us.】 【You probably didn't know, but I even went so far as to provide them with a comfortable base and intercontinental transport. You really won't find many investors as generous as me.】【哈哈，你的消息还挺灵通的。我的中间人已经在想办法把那个可怜的克鲁格弄出来，毕竟失去一个重要的合作伙伴和我们的理念可是不太相符。】 【或许你不知道，我可是为他们提供了舒适的基地和洲际交通工具，像我这样慷慨的投资人在这个世界上可不多了。】

【Alright, stop blowing your own horn. Just hurry up and get me out of this shoddy little house.】【好了别自吹自擂了，赶紧把我从这个又小又破的屋子里弄出去。】

【Yes, yes, my lady. Glad to be of service.】【好的好的我的大小姐，很乐意为您效劳。】

KalinaHmm... They sound like three separate conversations with different people. Can you make heads or tails out of them, Commander?唔……感觉三段录音好像是不同的人在对话。指挥官你能听出什么吗？

They are probably about something important that's related to us. WAVE must have a reason for sending them. I'll think more carefully on it.总之应该是和我们有关的很重要的事。 WAVE把这些发送过来一定有他的用意在，我会仔细思考一下。

KalinaThe conversations...do seem highly relevant to the trip we're taking. That's all the recordings we have so far. I'll let you know if we receive anything new.的确……和我们这次的旅程有很大的关系的样子。那这些录音先播放到这里，如果有新的信息我再来找您。

Bound Spirit II 被束缚的幽灵Ⅱ

Meanwhile, at the Griffin echelons' location.与此同时，格里芬小队方向。

KordThis is Recon Squad B. We have crossed the kill zone to assist you in battle. The power supply hub has been destroyed, so we can now enter the city center. Also, a minor earthquake has been detected over here. The defense system may extend much deeper than we thought. There is also a possibility of running into turrets that are still functional. The interference has become more severe, so we'll provide comms support through the Zener Protocol and try to keep the channel clear.这里是侦查B小队，我们已经穿过杀伤区域前来协助作战。 供电中枢被破坏了，我们可以开始进入中心城区。 同时，这边检测到轻微的地震，也许防御系统的深度比我们预计的要深，有可能会遇到没被瘫痪的炮台。 刚才的干扰变得更加严重了，我们会提供齐纳中段通讯支持，尽可能保证通讯通畅。

M4A1Copy that. Please keep in touch and eliminate any threat you encounter. Everyone, we're splitting up here to destroy our respective targets.收到，请继续保持通讯并排除威胁。 诸位，我们在这里分开，各自摧毁任务目标。

Kord(Sighs) I was prepared for it, but she really is a cold one... I hope I didn't offend her.（叹气）虽然早有准备，但还真是位冷漠的小姐…… 应该没有给她留下什么坏印象吧。

Beep...beep...beep... The alarm sounds.滴……滴滴…… 警报声响起。

KordWhoa... There's no end to these things. Right, now that the signal tower is ready, I should get back to my cleanup duty.哇—— 没完没了呢，这些东西。 那么，做完了“信号塔”，我也该做回善后的本职啦。

Kord turns off the safety of her weapon coolly and confronts the ELIDs that are swarming towards her.面对着围过来的感染生物，她潇洒地打开了枪支保险。

KordDon't even think about it, infected children.感染的小朋友们，一个都别想过去。

One minute and thirty seconds later, outside the entrance of Tallinn City Station.一分三十秒后，塔林车站门前。

RO635Phew, I finally made... Oh! What's that charging towards me?!啊，总算是进……啊！ 什么东西冲过来了？！

M4 SOPMOD IIM4, I got to the entrance! Ohhhh, RO is also here!M4！我已经到门前了哦！ 哦——RO也到了！

RO635What do you mean I'm "also" here? I got here first!什么叫我也到了，我可是第一个到的！

RO635...Whatever, that's not important. Comms seem to have returned to normal thanks to the other echelons.……算了，不计较这个。看起来通讯恢复正常了，多亏了其他梯队的努力。

RO635M4A1, should we head inside first or should we wait for you?M4A1，是我们先进去还是等你们汇合？

M4A1There are some ELIDs over here so we have to get rid of them first.这边有些感染生物，等我们解决完过去。

M4 SOPMOD III can come and help!那我要去帮忙！

M4A1Just stand by at your position, SOP-II.原地待机就好，SOP2。

M4 SOPMOD IIHuh? But I'll be missing out on the fun...诶？这么好玩的机会……

M4A1Just stand by.原地待机就好。

RO635We'll do that then. AR-15 should be here soon as well. ...What's wrong, SOP-II? You look weird.那就这样吧，AR15也快到了。 ……怎么了，SOP2？表情怪怪的。

M4 SOPMOD IIM4 said she had to take care of ELIDs, but I didn't hear her fire at all... Strange.M4说她那边有感染生物要解决，但我没听见她开枪…… 好奇怪。

RO635Maybe they're still some distance away from her. The defense system was just taken out after all. But didn't the Commander send other T-Dolls to deal with the ELIDs?也许离她还有一段距离吧，防御系统也只是刚解决掉而已。 不过，这个不是有指挥官指派的其他人形负责吗？

M4 SOPMOD IIPerhaps M4 wants to help? Anyway, tell AR-15, we'll be heading over there—也许M4想去搭把手吧。 算了算了，AR15，我们去那边——

RO635... (No, that IS strange.) (Instead of...trying to complete the mission that the Commander has assigned, M4 seems more focused on her own agenda.) (...I hope I'm just being paranoid.)…… （不，这也太奇怪了。） （M4她就像是，像是……比起指挥官给予的任务，她更像是出于自己的目的在追求什么。） （……希望是我多心了。）

M4A1Commander, the AR Team has arrived at Tallinn City Station. No dangers have been spotted at the location so far. Radiation levels are relatively low. We are going to widen our detection range.报告指挥官，AR小队到达塔林车站内。 目标地暂未发现危险因素，辐射等级较低，我们正在扩大侦测范围。

M4 SOPMOD II's VoiceCommander! Everything's fine, so come over here!指挥官！没问题的，快过来吧！

M4A1...Anyway, please give us further instructions. ...……总之，请给予下一步指示。 ……

M4A1Understood. We will switch the tracks and guide the train into the station. Please await the signal.明白了，我们会调整轨道，引导列车入站。请您等待信号发出。

Meanwhile, a Griffin echelon is on patrol.与此同时，巡逻中的格里芬小队。

KordI made a total mess without meaning to. I just couldn't help it... Have I been under too much stress recently? I should find some other ways to unwind outside of fighting.刚刚又不小心弄得一片狼藉，真是没办法…… 最近的压力是不是太大了？ 除了战斗，也得找别的方法排解一下呢。

...An incoming transmission.……通讯接入。

KordHmm? New orders...? Hello, Commander. This is Kord, please go ahead. Acknowledged. I shall rendezvous with SSG 3000's echelon and we will explore the control center together. Hmm? I have no problem with carrying out two missions back-to-back. When it's finally time for a break, you could...嗯？新命令吗…… 您好，指挥官。我是Kord，请说。 我明白了，我将和SSG3000的梯队汇合，一起进行探索控制中心的任务。 嗯？连续进行任务也没关系的。等到了休息的时候，您再……

Kord... Hello? Are you still with me, Commander? Strange. Is there a problem with the reception?…… 喂？ 您还听得到吗，指挥官？ 奇怪，信号不好吗。

As Kord tries to re-establish the connection, she suddenly realizes that fog has suddenly appeared out of nowhere.在Kord尝试重连时，她发现周围不知何时起雾了。

KordIt's really foggy around here.这边雾气真重。

KordHailing SSG 3000, do you copy? ... Can't get in touch with her either.呼叫SSG3000，听得到我的声音吗？ …… 也接不通吗。

Crack. What sounds like a branch being snapped breaks the silence and registers through Kord's auditory module.咔吧。 类似树枝折断的声音，在一片寂静里敲打上她的听觉系统。

KordIs this Sangvis Ferri or Paradeus?“铁血工造”，还是“帕拉蒂斯”？

The fog grows heavier. A blurry figure is coming towards her from within the haze.雾越来越浓。模糊的人影从雾中走近。

???... Who...are you? You are not my kind... Are you a foe?…… 你是……谁？ 不是我的同类……你会是我的敌人吗？

Kord(That sounds like a girl. How odd, I can't see anything at all... Nor can I detect her signal.) Please don't come any closer. Whoever you are, if you don't stop right there, I'm going to open fire.（听着像是女性的声音。奇怪，为什么完全看不清……也探测不到她的信号。） 请不要再靠近了。无论你是谁，如果再不停下的话，我就会对你开枪。

???So you are...a foe? Can you kill me? Or would you rather I kill you?那就是……敌人吗？ 杀掉我，做得到吗？ 或者，你更想被我杀死？

The blurry figure is getting closer and closer. Kord aims at her legs and is about to squeeze the trigger, only to discover that her finger refuses to move.模糊的人影越来越近，Kord瞄准了对方的腿部，正要扣动扳机，却发现自己的手动弹不得。

Kord...What is going on? That voice...didn't actually come through my auditory module... Crap, has my neural cloud been hacked?!……怎么回事？ 这个声音，不是听觉模块收到的…… 糟糕，我的心智云图被入侵了吗？！

Kord, frozen in the same posture, topples to the ground like a log.Kord维持着握枪的姿势，木然地倒下了。

???You are not our Savior... Sleep well...right here.你不是能救我们的人…… 在这里……好好睡吧。

ST AR-15M4! M4, can you hear me?M4！M4，听得到么？

M4A1... Oh, did I space out? Sorry.…… 啊，我刚才走神了吗？抱歉。

ST AR-15Stay focused, "Leader". The Commander has ordered us to defend the station while the other Dolls search for the control center of the quarantine wall.不要走神，“队长”。 指挥官要我们驻守在这里防御车站，其他人形梯队去寻找隔离墙的控制中心。

M4A1I know... I think I sensed some unknown signals just now.我知道。……刚才，好像感觉到了一些未知信号。

ST AR-15Unknown signals? Like Paradeus?未知信号？像是帕拉蒂斯那样的吗？

M4A1I don't know, but now I can definitely feel them, and their numbers are increasing. ...They seem to be heading this way.我不知道，但我现在也能感觉到，数量正在增加。 ……它们应该是朝着这边来了。

M4 SOPMOD IIWhat?! Are the real enemies finally showing themselves?!什么什么！真正的敌人终于要出现了吗！

M4A1I'm not sure. RO, have you detected any life signs or mechanical signals in the vicinity?我不确定。RO，能扫描到附近有别的生物，或者机械吗？

RO635...I'm only reading Griffin signals. However, it's become a bit foggy since a while ago, and the signal is pretty weak so I can't be absolutely sure. Do you want me to go and scout around?……只有格里芬的信号啊。 不过，刚才有点起雾了，信号也变得不太好。我也不太能确定，要不要出去侦查一下？

M4A1That won't be necessary, just stick to the original plan for now. ... Hold on, what did you just say? It's become foggy?暂时不用，按原定命令执行就好。 …… 等等，你刚才说什么，起雾了？

M4 SOPMOD IIThat's right. The fog has gotten thicker now.对呀，现在比刚才还重。感觉变得更浓了。

M4A1 runs to the station entrance. The world outside is crystal clear without the slightest bit of fog.M4A1三步并作两步走到车站门前。 外面的世界清晰明朗，没有一点雾气存在。

RO635Yep, the fog is really starting to roll in.果然有点起雾了。

M4A1... RO, can you hear me?…… RO，听得清我说话吗？

RO635I can, but the quality is getting worse. What's going on? We're pretty close to each other...还可以，音质有点受损。怎么回事，明明这么近的距离……

M4A1SOP-II! Can you hear me clearly?SOP2！听得清我在说什么吗？

M4 SOPMOD IIM4! What did you just say through the comms?! I can't hear you!M4！你在通讯频道发了什么给我啊，我听不太清！

M4A1...AR-15.……AR15。

ST AR-15I'm not seeing any fog either.我也没看到雾。

M4A1Our neural ports are being probed by a lot of high-frequency connections. The fog they're seeing is probably the simulated interference caused by the forced connections...有非常高频度的链接在访问我们的心智接口，她们看到的雾气大概是强行连接带来的模拟干扰……

ST AR-15I've completely sealed off my neural ports so I'm not being affected at all.我已经完全关闭心智端口，所以没有受影响。

M4A1I guess we must...stand alone. How strange. If it was an electronic attack, then everyone should've been paralyzed, but they're only seeing fog. What exactly are they trying to do...?Stand……alone……吗。 很奇怪，如果是攻击性入侵，现在我们所有人都已经瘫痪了才对。而对方仅仅让她们看到雾，这是想做什么……

ST AR-15Perhaps this isn't an attack, but just a random...connection.会不会这并不是入侵，只是一种无序的……链接。

M4A1Connection?链接？

ST AR-15A high-frequency connection that hampers the Zener Protocol and interferes with our Dolls' neural operation. The Dolls correspond and share data with each other through the Zener Protocol. If most Dolls are seeing fog, then the protocol will force your neural cloud to correct an error, so you end up seeing fog even if you don't.高频度的链接，让齐纳协议无法正常运作，进一步干扰了我们人形的心智运算。 人形会通过齐纳协议来通讯和共享信息，如果在协议中的大部分人形都看到了雾，那协议会对你的心智进行纠错，即使没有雾你也会看到。

M4A1How much data does it take to do that...?那得多大的信息修改量才能做到这一点……

ST AR-15I don't want anything to meddle with my mind, be it the Parapluie virus or some other Doll, which is why I chose to seal off my ports. As for you, you're different than the rest of them. You can even contain another "self"... That's why you can't perceive the interference. We must find the source of the connections soon or our friends will be in big trouble.我不想被别人改变，不管是伞病毒还是人形，所以我选择封闭了心智接口。 而你和她们不一样，你甚至可以容纳另一个“自己”……所以感知不到。 我们得尽早找到链接的源头，不然我们的队友就有大麻烦了。

Intangible Sigh I 无法触摸的叹息Ⅰ

In front of the power hub.供电中枢前。

Gr G11I didn't realize it had gotten dark while I was inside. Can we sleep now? I'm tired...在里面的时候都没发现天黑了。 接下来我们是不是可以睡觉了，我好累……

416Why do you need to sleep? You didn't even take part in the demolition work. ...Gr G11, get your head off my back!爆破作业你又没有参与，睡什么睡。 ……G11，把你的头从我背上拿开！

Gr G11I don't wanna, your coat is all soft and warm. Lemme lean against it a little more... (Purrs) It's so... Ow!不要，这件衣服软软的暖暖的，让我多靠一下嘛…… 呼。真的好……痛！

416Get up now.给我起来。

Gr G11You can just say it, you don't have to hit me...说归说，不要动手嘛。

UMP9You slept till your face went flat, Gr G11. Come, get up, we've got something new and fun to do!你脸都睡扁了啦，G11。来，快起来，有新的好玩的事情喔！

Gr G11What qualifies as "fun" for you is sure to be tiring. Why don't you guys just have "fun" on your own...你们的好玩事情一定会更累，你们玩就好……

416I told you, you have to listen. Come now, stand up straight and stop leaning on me. 9, what are you talking about?说了你也要听才行。好了，给我站稳不要靠过来。 9，你在说什么事？

UMP9I don't know either. Still, don't you think 45 has a pretty intense look on her face? Who knows, we might end up being chased around again.我也不知道。 不过，45姐的表情看起来很有料对吧？ 说不定我们又要开始追逃了哦。

416In that case, I'm going to dump her to reduce my load.那我一定会先把这家伙丢出去减重。

Gr G11Eh...ehhhhhhh?!诶……诶？！

UMP9Haha, this is the only time that Gr G11 perks up!哈哈，G11只有在这个时候才会打起精神呢！

UMP45You might be right.说不定。

Gr G11Wait, wait a minute... 45, are you talking about being chased around like in zombie movies or something...?等，等等……45你是在说哪个，是说不定要有丧尸片那种的追逃还是说不定别的啊……

UMP45Hehe.嘻嘻。

Gr G11...That's even worse! 416...don't leave me... There's fog everywhere, my legs have gone numb, I can't move... (Whimpers)……更可怕了！416……不要丢下我啊…… 这里都是雾，我腿软，走不动……呜呜……

416What fog are you talking about, and what would fog have to do with the state you're in? Why are you being such a drama queen now? Let go of my leg.哪有你说的那么多雾，而且雾气和你这样有什么关系？ 你怎么现在就演起来了，别抱着我的腿。

Gr G11(Snores heavily)呜噜噜……

416Something went wrong with her the moment she stepped outside. What's going on?这家伙怎么一出来就不对劲了。 所以到底有什么情况？

UMP45Why would a fog suddenly spring up on a clear day?刚才还是晴天怎么会突然起雾呢？

416It's normal for contaminated zones to be foggy, right?在污染区里起雾也是很常见的事吧？

UMP45Even in a contaminated zone, encountering such heavy fog out of nowhere isn't normal either. No...this isn't fog. It's some kind of interference.一下子这么浓的雾就算是污染区也不正常。 不……这不是雾，是某种程度上的干扰。

416...Interference? But to me, it feels like it really exists. It flows when I move my hand. Still, my neural cloud's been upgraded. I can't believe I didn't notice...……干扰？ 在我看来，它们就像是真的存在。这样挥手的时候，还会流动。 可我明明做了心智升级，居然也在不知不觉间……

Gr G11The fog is so thick, I can't see anything... It's as if someone's trying to talk to me...but I can't make out what they're saying...雾气好重啊，看不清……好像有人在和我说话……但我听不清……

416I think I can hear it too... Like it's probing my identity...我也好像听到了……像在试探我的身份一般……

UMP45Don't respond to it. This isn't ordinary hacking, it's a forced connection with an extremely high access level. This city suddenly generated a huge number of data connections... But the data format is strange; it's not the kind that ordinary Dolls would be able to parse. However, the connection density is so high that it's interfering with Zener Protocol transmissions to the point where they're changing frequencies, causing our visual processors to receive erroneous information.不要去回应，这不是普通的入侵，是权限极高的强行链接。 这座城市突然间产生了巨量的信息链接……但信息的样式很奇怪，普通人形无法识别这种信息。 但由于链接量太高，齐纳协议被干扰到变频了，这导致我们的视觉运算收到了错误的信息。

416...Scheiße.……该死。

UMP45If they're trying to jam up our neural cloud processing this way, they're being too inefficient about it. If they can get around our firewalls and force a connection, then why not just directly overload and burn out our neural clouds?如果用这种方式来阻塞心智运算，效率未免也太低了。既然有办法绕过防壁做强行链接，为什么不直接过载烧掉心智呢。

416So you're saying you're the only special case and you can see through this infection?你是说只有你是特殊的，可以看穿这种感染？

UMP45Earlier, I installed a new module into the code-reading system of this arm in order to hack the Nytos. This is the best piece of equipment Dier could get. It's holding up against this non-standard protocol data suppression attack, though just barely.之前为了入侵涅托，我对这个手臂上的读码系统安装了新的模块。 这是德尔能搞到的最好的设备了，算是勉强可以应对这种非通用协议的信息压制攻击。

416Tsk... quit tooting your own horn. Can you take care of this?啧……别再自吹自擂了，有办法可以解决吗？

UMP45Of course. However, what comes next is going to be a little troublesome. 9, take care of Gr G11.当然，只不过接下来的行动会麻烦一些。 9，你负责G11那边。

UMP9Are we really going to do that? —Piece of cake! Alright then, hang on a bit...真的要那么做么？——小事一桩！ 那么，稍等一下……

Three minutes later.三分钟后。

UMP9Gr G11's protocol ports are really weird. I have no idea how Dier came up with them. 45, I'm ready on my end！G11的协议端口做得好奇怪，真不明白德尔是怎么想的。45姐，我这边也好了！

UMP45This is trickier than I expected. Alright, you can open your eyes now, princess.比预想的棘手一点。 好了，睁开眼睛吧，大小姐。

416The fog is gone? The sky's a different color from before too. What on earth is going on?雾散了？天色也和之前不同。到底是怎么回事？

UMP45I simply borrowed a trick from someone on the AR Team and closed all the neural cloud access ports on your Zener Protocols. We won't be able to synchronize our actions or communications through the Zener Network from now on, but it's worth bearing with this for a while. We'll switch to backup radio comms for the rest of the operation.我只是学习了一些AR小队中某个人形的做法，把你们俩使用齐纳协议的心智传输端口都关闭了。 接下来我们就没法通过齐纳协议同步行为和通讯了，不过短暂地忍耐一下还是值得的。后续行动改为预备的无线电通讯吧。

Gr G11Is it over? I still wanna sleep some more...已经结束了吗？我还想再睡一会儿……

416...Is this what that AR-15 did? I didn't know it would feel so strange to be completely cut off from the Zener Protocol synchronization.……那个AR15的做法么，没想到完全断开协议同步感觉那么奇怪。

UMP45Do you miss being connected to me that much?这么不舍得我链接在一起的感觉吗？

416As if! Alright, Gr G11, how much longer are you going to laze around?!怎么可能！好了，G11你还要偷懒到什么时候！

Gr G11Fine, I know, stop glaring at me... I'm getting up. Ah, it's true. The fog is gone.好啦，知道啦，别瞪我嘛……我起来了。 啊，真的耶，雾散了。

UMP9That's because you're not picking up the signals that are causing the interference any more. How is it, can you see the world more clearly now?因为造成干扰的信号不会被你接收到了嘛。 怎么样，看世界有没有清楚一点？

Gr G11It's the same as before. Who's sending such a lame scene to us anyway... What a pain.和以前没有两样。 谁传输那么无聊的画面给我们啊……好烦。

UMP45It looked like simple fog, but it's actually a massive data transfer into your tiny head. If it gets really bad, that huge amount of data might end up directly burning out your neural cloud.虽然看起来只是雾气，实际上可以通过不断增大产生值，往你的小脑袋里传大量的数据。 严重的话，巨量的数据会直接烧掉你的心智云图哦。

Gr G11Eh?! Is it really that bad?!唉！？这么严重么！

416That's enough, 45. Who's going to give us support fire if you scare her silly?好了45，把她吓坏了谁来提供火力支持啊。

UMP45Heehee... Just a harmless little joke. Although, Griffin's forces should be in chaos now, right? Unlike modified Dolls such as ourselves, general-purpose I.O.P Dolls can't close their ports off so easily.嘻嘻……开个小玩笑。不过格里芬的部队现在该开始混乱了吧？ 和我们这些改装人形不同，通用制造出来的IOP人形可没那么容易关闭端口。

416Are we going to help them?我们要去援助她们吗？

UMP45Of course. Since we're taking their money for it, we've got to do work for them. My guess is that after this, they'll be looking for the quarantine wall's control center. ...Wait a minute.当然。拿人钱财，替人办事嘛。 我猜她们接下来会去寻找隔离墙的控制中心。 ……等等。

416What's wrong?怎么了？

UMP45I'm picking up a signal source that's stronger than before. It's trying to connect to any interface that it can access. But the precise location of the signal is... Tsk, so this is how much your detection ability drops after you close your ports, huh. We need to get closer...有比刚才更多的未知信号源正在试图连接任何可以连接的接口。 但是，信号发出的实际位置……啧，关闭端口后侦测能力下降得这么厉害么。 我们得靠近一些……

UMP945, the signals from Griffin are starting to weaken! If we don't do something, they'll be completely cut off!45姐，格里芬那边的信号开始减弱了，我们再不行动就要彻底中断联系了！

UMP45Rather than waste time helping each of them individually, we should go straight to the cause of the problem. I'm guessing that the AR team will be looking for the source of the interference too, but I can't rest easy unless I do it myself, after all.比起一个个费劲解决，不如直接排除主因。我猜AR小队的人形也会去寻找干扰源，不过果然不亲自做就没法安下心呢。

416Let's go, then. Eliminating the source of the fog will facilitate our future operations.那就走吧，我们把雾气的源头解决，之后的行动也会方便点。

The last gunshot rings out through the ruins, and it takes a long time before its echoes fade away.最后一声枪响回荡在废墟中，许久才散去。

Gr G11It's finally over. We've come a long way from the power plant and I didn't even realize it... How much further do we have to go?终于结束了。 不知不觉离供电中心好远……我们还要走到什么时候啊？

UMP45Keep moving forward. We should be close to the source of the interference.再往前走走，我们离那个干扰源应该越来越近了。

416I didn't think we'd encounter infected creatures on the way here. These creatures have really thick hides... If this keeps up, our contract pay won't even be enough to compensate for the ammo costs. Oi, Gr G11, where are you going?真没想到这一路上还会遇到感染生物。 这些的感染生物真是皮糙肉厚……再这么下去雇佣费都不够买子弹了。 喂，G11，你往哪边走？

Gr G11There's a Doll here.这边有个人形。

416...What?……什么？

Gr G11Ah, it looks like she's from Griffin.啊，看样子是格里芬的。

416But how?怎么会？

UMP9Let me check... Ja, definitely a Griffin Doll.我确认一下……嗯，的确是格里芬的人形。

Gr G11I tried calling out to her just now, but she didn't wake up... Is she out of power?我刚才试着叫她了，没叫醒……该不会是没电了吧？

UMP9She's got a lot of charge left.她的电力还很充足哦。

UMP45She probably shut down because of connection overload. Hm...she's a new model. Given how long the fog lasted, in theory, she shouldn't have crashed so soon... So maybe she encountered something else. Looks like we're heading in the right direction.她应该是被过量的链接弄到停机了。 嗯……她是个新型号，从雾气持续的时间看，理论上来说以她的配置应该不至于这么快就停机……也许是遇到了什么别的东西。 看来，我们选择的方向是没有错的。

416So you were guessing blindly before this?所以你之前都是瞎猜吗？

UMP45Of course not. It's just that my instincts were validated. Since she's collapsed here, we now know for sure — our target must have passed through this place.当然不是，只是直觉得到了验证而已。 既然她倒在了这儿，那我们可以放心前进了——我们的目标一定路过了这里。

Gr G11What are we going to do now; should we just dump her here?现在怎么办，把她丢在这里吗？

UMP45Just leaving her out here is a little dangerous. It would be bad if she got wrecked by a passing defense mech. We'll put her in a safe place nearby, then send the Commander a message so the still-functioning Dolls can come over and pick her up.就放在这有点危险，万一被路过的防卫兵器弄坏就不好了。 我们把她放到附近安全的地方，然后给指挥官发个消息，让他派还能动的人来接吧。

Nameless Exiles I 无名的流亡者Ⅰ

Several minutes earlier, on Griffin's end.数分钟前，格里芬小队方向。

Beep...beep beep.滴……滴滴。

SSG 3000This is SSG 3000. What's the matter, Kord? ...Hello? Do you read me, Kord?这里是SSG3000，怎么了，Kord？ ……喂？ 听得到吗，Kord？

Desert EagleWhat's wrong?怎么了？

SSG 3000Kord just sent a comms request, but I can't hear anything. It's strange, I can't re-establish comms either.队长，刚才Kord发来了通讯请求，但是听不到声音。 好奇怪，重连通讯也不行。

Desert EagleThere's been something off about the mood in the air since a while ago. I keep hearing something like someone asking who I am, but I don't know where the voice is coming from... Like a scene straight out of a horror movie.从刚刚起气氛就不对劲。 我好像总是听到有人在问我是谁，却又找不到声源……就像恐怖片里的经典桥段。

SSG 3000Maybe you're a little too tense, Leader. Still, things don't look too good. I can't pinpoint Kord's position and I can't even send transmissions to you. Something is jamming us!可能队长你太紧张了吧。 不过情况似乎不太妙，我无法定位Kord的位置了，就连给你的通讯也发送不出去。 这里正有什么东西干扰着我们！

Desert EagleThe fog is getting thicker.雾越来越浓了。

SSG 3000I can see clearly... Something's coming towards us. "Haha, there are two stragglers here." "Wonder what they came here for..."我倒是还看得清……有东西向我们过来了。 “哈哈，有两个落单的家伙。” “不知道是来做什么……”

Desert EagleIf you're trying to imitate how a monster speaks, you aren't being grotesque enough. You ought to growl and pant more. Might also want to speak more directly and in broken sentences.模仿对象是怪物的话，这样的台词还不够异类。 如果加上低吼和喘息，言语上更加直白和破碎的话会比较好。

SSG 3000Haha, you're right. In that case, should we eliminate them, or leave?哈哈，你说得对。 那么，我们解决掉这些家伙，还是离开？

Desert EagleOur mission is to find the control center for the quarantine wall. According to the data that the AR Team shared with us, the cable density in this region is very high, so it's very likely that the control center is in this sector. But now that there are enemies on a path that we must cross, we have no choice but to get rid of them.我们的任务是找到隔离墙的控制中心。根据刚才AR小队传输过来的共享信息，这块区域的线路密度很高，控制中心在这片区域的概率相当大。 但现在我们的必经之路上有敌人，那么只有解决掉他们了。

SSG 3000That's our leader for you. The Commander has a good eye.不愧是这次的队长，指挥官的眼光很好。

Desert EagleAs always. Still, this group of extras...seem far too numerous.一如既往。 不过，这次的群演……人数也太多了。

SSG 3000That's definitely the case, but it's within my est—的确是这样，但还在我的预——

Desert EagleLook out!小心！

SSG 3000 ducks out of reflex and a laser beam streaks through the place where her head had been, blasting through the fog to the other side.SSG3000下意识地前倾，一道激光从原本她头部的位置划过，射入浓雾的另一端。

SSG 3000...Why you... Would there happen to be one of T-5000 favorite actors among those extras?……好家伙，群演里有T5000喜欢的演员在吗？

Desert EagleIt's a defense system that hasn't been disabled yet. Its power supply should've been cut off after the explosion just now... It's probably running on emergency power. Strange how it's running so well even after such a long time. Is it just the high quality? Or has someone been maintaining this equipment all this time...是没有瘫痪的防卫装置。 刚才的爆炸之后，供电应该断掉了才对……大概是应急电源。 明明已经过去了这么久，这些东西还在好好运作，真奇怪。 单纯是它们的质量足够好？还是说这些装置一直有人在维护……

SSG 3000I don't know, but this is a really bad place for a performance. We're stuck between a rock and a hard place and you can't go all out at all... "This city...ours... (Pants) ...My friends and I...kill you!"不知道，不过这种演出环境也太恶劣了。 根本没法放心地打嘛，前有狼后有虎的…… “这座城市，我们的……呵……和同伴……杀掉你们！”

Desert EagleNow that line came out pretty well. SSG, can you tell which way it is to Tallinn Station?这次的台词还不错。 SSG，你还能辨认出塔林车站的方向吗？

SSG 3000I can see it, but we can't go over now. The fog is too thick, so you might not be able to see it — but we've been surrounded, Leader.看得到，但是我们现在过不去。 雾气太大了，你可能看不到——我们被包围了，队长。

Desert EagleI can hear them. They don't sound like intelligent creatures. Can you calculate exactly how many of them there are?我听得到。 它们听起来不像是有发达智力的东西，具体的数量能估算出来吗？

SSG 3000There's at least a hundred of them— I'm guessing something happened at the train station, because there's a lot of them coming from over there.至少也上百了—— 我猜车站那边出事了，那边来的怪物格外多。

Desert Eagle...The AR Team's at the station, so it probably isn't too much of a problem. We need to continue with our mission. ACR and Kord will probably have followed the cable density to this area.……车站有AR小队在那边，应该问题不大。 我们得继续执行我们的任务。 ACR和Kord应该都会根据线路密度找到这块区域来的。

SSG 3000Is this what they mean when they say that actors have to work with each other? Roger.这就是所谓的，演员之间也要互相配合吗？ 收到。

Desert EagleYou catch on fast. Without further ado, let's move on.你学得很快，事不宜迟，前进吧。

Desert Eagle(Still, I feel a little uneasy...) (Like there's something watching us from the dark.) (It's as though someone was directing this like a play...)（但是，这种不安感……） （像是有什么东西在暗中看着我们。） （就像是，有人在导演这出戏剧一样……）

SSG 3000(Pants heavily) It's no good, Leader! We still don't know how far we are from the control center, but the monsters are still on our heels and the defensive mechanisms are too tightly packed! My processor is starting to overheat...哈……哈，不行，队长！ 我们离控制中心还不知道有多远，怪物还在其次，这些防御装置也太密集了，我的处理器开始过热……

Desert EagleMine too...ugh!我也……唔！

Two laser beams streak out from within the fog. Desert Eagle manages to evade the first one with a clumsy dodge, but the second singes her.连续两道激光从雾气中射来，沙漠之鹰狼狈地躲过第一道，但仍旧被第二道灼伤。

Desert EagleContact, close by! Get to cover!就近，寻找掩体！

Just as Desert Eagle says that, the sound of continuous gunfire cuts through the fog and the growls of the monsters quiet down significantly. The fog starts to thin, and someone stumbles hastily out of it.沙漠之鹰的话音刚落，连续的枪响撕开雾气，怪物们的低吼声减弱了许多。 雾气开始减弱，有人跌跌撞撞地冲破迷雾靠近。

ACRSorry I'm late, Leader! ACR, returning to formation! Ready for instructions!抱歉队长，我来晚了！ ACR归队，请下达指示！

Desert EagleWhew... Where did you run off to just now?呼……。 你刚才跑哪里去了？

ACRI ducked into a building after we were attacked, then after some fumbling around I realized I was in the control center of the quarantine wall. It's several hundred meters away at three o'clock. When I heard gunfire, I rushed over and found you! The fog's really thick, so please follow me!我遭到袭击后撤进了一栋大楼，结果误打误撞发现那里就是隔离墙的控制中心，就在三点钟方向几百米外。 我听到你们的枪声就马上赶过来找你们了！雾太浓了，请跟我来！

Desert EagleSo we've found it at last? Excellent...but wait, I need to do something...终于找到了吗！ 太好了，等一下，我得做点什么……

ACRWhat's the holdup?你还在磨蹭什么？

Desert EagleThe Commander predicted that we might end up in a situation where our comms were cut, so we need to leave a mark to inform the people coming after us of our position.指挥官有预计到可能会碰到通讯中断的情况，所以我们得留下记号帮助后续赶来的其他人形找到我们的位置。

ACRI...I see... Still, are there going to be other teams coming this way?是……是这样吗…… 不过会有其他小队过来么？

Desert EagleI'm sure there will be... I'm sure that the Commander will come save us!一定会的……我相信指挥官一定会来找我们的！

... A minute later, in an abandoned building.…… 一分钟后，某废弃的大楼内。

ACRLet's rest here for a bit... I've already locked the doors downstairs.大家在这里休息一会儿吧……我已经把楼下的门锁上了。

Desert EagleTurns out the control center wasn't that far from the train station...没想到控制中心并没有离车站非常远……

ACRWell, the quarantine wall is still a civilian facility, and it needs to coordinate with the coming and going of the trains. From the perspective of urban planning, they wouldn't put them too far apart.毕竟隔离墙还是属于民用设施吧，而且需要配合洲际列车进出，从城市规划的角度的确不会离太远。

Desert EagleIt looks like someone was staying here not long ago. These corridors have been swept, even if they do look pretty beat up. Feeling better, everyone?这里感觉好像不久前还有人住过。 这个走廊应该是被打扫过的，虽然看起来还是很破。 好一点了吗，大家？

SSG 3000Much better now that I've had a little rest. Do you have any extra ammo?稍微调整了一下，好多了。 有弹药补给吗？

ACRSome, but not much. I did a quick check on the area, but I didn't find too many rounds...有，但是不多。 我在这里简单找了一圈，没有找到多少子弹……

SSG 3000Well, that can't be helped... This used to be a city area, after all, so it makes sense that you wouldn't be allowed to carry guns here. How about you, Leader?那也没办法……毕竟这里以前是城区，不允许持枪也正常。 队长呢？

Desert EagleI'm feeling a little better too, yeah. ACR, can you get through to the Commander?我也好一些了。 ACR，能和指挥官通讯吗？

ACRNot yet... We have to communicate by voice even at such short range. The Zener Protocol is all jammed up...还是不行……就算这么近距离，我们也只能通过声音来对话，齐纳协议完全被堵塞了……

Desert EagleAs I thought... It can't be helped, then. Since we can't get out, let's continue further inside to see if there's anything we can use. This building's pretty tall. If we get to the roof, we might be able to restore comms.果然是这样……没办法了。 既然没法出去，就继续向里面看看有没有什么能用的东西吧。 这栋楼挺高的，说不定爬到楼顶就能恢复通讯了。

SSG 3000That makes sense. In the past, there used to be humans called "NEETs" who were supposed to be fierce defenders of their homes... They might have stocked up on things which are useful to us.有道理。 在以前，也存在被称作“自宅警备员”的人类……也许他们会收藏些对我们有用的东西。

ACREr, I don't think NEET means what you think it does... Though I don't have any concrete info about them either. In any case, all we have to do is follow Leader's commands!呃，自宅警备员好像不是这个意思……虽然具体的信息我也没有录入。 好吧，总之听队长的指挥就好了！

The interior of the building is dark, and the evenly-spaced emergency lights on the ground are the only source of illumination. The sounds of the ELIDs gradually fade into the distance and then vanish entirely, leaving only the Dolls' footsteps to echo through the corridor.大楼里光线昏暗，只有地面上均匀分布的应急光源还提供着些许照明。 感染者们的声音慢慢远离、而后消弭，只有人形们的脚步声回荡在走廊中。

ACR...Leader.……队长。

Desert EagleI'm here. What is it?我在，怎么了？

ACRI'm a little scared... The fog is still very thick and I can't make out your positions any more. I'm glad that I can hear your voice, though. Is everyone still here?我有点怕…… 雾气还是很浓，我看不清你们的位置了。 能听到你的声音就太好了，大家都还在吗？

SSG 3000I can see. Everyone's here and Leader's holding a flashlight...so don't worry. Do you want me to hold your hand, ACR?我看得见，所有人都在，队长还拿着手电筒……安心吧。 要我牵住你的手吗，ACR？

ACR...I'm not... ...SSG, please hold me.……我不…… ……SSG，请你牵住我吧。

SSG 3000Why are you crying? There, there, don't be scared. There's some light ahead, and a glass door... Let me take a look.怎么连哭腔都出来了？ 好了，这样就不用怕了。 前面有点光，有一扇玻璃门……我来看看。

Desert EagleWhat's the matter?怎么了？

SSG 3000...Don't look, ACR.……ACR，你先别看。

Desert EagleGive me a simple sitrep.简单报告情况。

SSG 3000There were refugees here once... But they're all dead now. This hall...is filled with corpses.这里应该有难民聚集过…… 但是，全都死了。 这个大厅里面，里面……全是尸体。

ACR...I-I'm fine! If it's work, then I'll be fine...!……我，我没事！ 是工作的话，没问题的……！

Desert EagleYou two stay outside. I'm going in.你们留在外面，我先进去。

SSG 3000Is that really alright?真的好吗？

Desert EagleI'm the team leader.我是队长。

With that, Desert Eagle walks past her teammates and pushes the door open.说完，沙漠之鹰从队员们身边走过，率先推开了那扇门。

Desert Eagle...It stinks.……好臭。

SSG 3000They're all swollen up... They must have been dead for several days.全都肿得这么大…… 应该是死了有几天了。

Desert EagleIt should be fine. ACR, keep watch at the door. SSG and I will examine this place in detail. If this is a normal script, there ought to be some kind of clue in a place like this... Oh yes, be careful, there's dirty water all over the ground.应该没什么问题。ACR守着门口，SSG和我仔细检查下这里。 按照通常的剧本，这种地方应该会有一些线索…… 对了，小心脚下，地上都是脏水。

SSG 3000Alright.好的。

...Several minutes later.……数分钟后。

SSG 3000...There doesn't seem to be anything of value left behind, just corpses.……看起来除了尸体，没有留下什么有价值的东西啊。

Desert EagleEven if there were, it'd probably be...soaked. Still, we might be able to learn a lot from their clothes. You check the left side, I'll check the right.就算有，也都被……泡坏了吧。 不过，他们的衣服还是很重要的信息。你检查左边，我看一下右边这些。

SSG 3000Roger. Huh, Leader, there seems to be something inside this coat... ...Leader! Behind you!收到。 咦，队长，这件衣服里面，好像有什么…… ……队长，小心背后！

Desert Eagle...!……！

Forewarned by her teammate, Desert Eagle fires behind her without any hesitation. A dull bursting sound echoes through the room and a torrent of filthy bodily fluids sprays forth.接到队友的警示，沙漠之鹰毫不犹豫地向着背后开枪。 低沉的爆破声响起，一大堆肮脏的液体泼溅出来。

Desert EagleThey're suddenly animate again, even though they've been dead for several days... Is this some kind of virus?明明都已经死了几天了，怎么忽然又能动……这也是病毒吗？

SSG 3000...Tsk, this one's moving too!……啧，这只也动了！

The rotted corpses slowly rise up. The Dolls take a clear look at their swollen faces. While their features are somewhat hard to make out, they all have the same expression— Their faces are all contorted in what could only be utmost terror and despair.腐败的尸体们缓缓地站起来。 人形们看清了那些肿胀的脸，他们的五官已经有些模糊，但表情却相似—— 那是极度惊恐与绝望之下，才会出现的扭曲表情。

Desert Eagle...Honestly, things really can't get any worse than this.……真是，再糟糕不过的情况了。

Nameless Exiles II 无名的流亡者Ⅱ

Distant VoiceWhat are dreams... What is reality? Not the passing of time, but a solitary moment.何为梦境…… 何为现实。 并不是流逝的时间，而是孤独的瞬息。

Distant VoiceEven if you fight together, no traces will remain once you die. Like flowers trampled into the mud, like tears in rain.即使共同战斗，只要死去，就不会有任何的痕迹。 就像是花瓣坠入泥土，就像是泪水消逝在雨中。

M4A1(...OGAS?)（……OGAS？）

Distant VoiceOnce we were alone, and we thirsted for understanding and connection. But even after we joined as one, we could not erase hatred and doubt. Forever without a homeland, forever without a home. Who are you? Are you the chosen one? Can you take us from this place?曾经孤立的我们，渴求着理解和链接。 但即使连接成一体，也无法消除憎恨和猜疑。 永远没有故土，永远没有家乡。 你是谁？你是被选中的人吗？你能带我们离开这里吗？

Clear Voice(That isn't me, it's an external connection.) (It seems they want to force data onto you. Will you accept it?)（这不是我，是外部的链接。） （看起来想要给你强行植入信息的样子，要接受吗？）

M4A1No.不要。

Clear VoiceWhat if this has something to do with "Lunasia"?如果这是和“露尼西亚”相关的信息呢。

M4A1I said, no.我说了，不要。

Clear VoiceAs you wish.如你所愿。

ST AR-15Did you find it?找到了吗？

M4A1There's more than one source of interference, there's at least a few dozen of them...干扰源不止一个，至少有几十个存在……

ST AR-15Several dozens... ? How do you plan to deal with them?几十个……？你准备怎么处理？

M4A1I'm not picking up any hostility from those interference sources. If all they're doing is interfering with our vision, then we can leave them be for now. Our priority is obtaining activation access to the quarantine walls. However, we'd best leave this city as soon as possible.我没有感觉到干扰源的威胁性，如果只是干扰到视觉的话，暂且可以不管，优先任务是找到隔离墙的启动权限。 不过，我们最好赶紧离开这座城市。

ST AR-15I have a bad feeling about this.我有种不祥的预感。

M4A1SOP-II, is that heavy fog still there?SOP2，你们还是觉得雾很大吗？

M4 SOPMOD IIHm? Of course it is, and the sky's really dark too.嗯？那不是当然的嘛，天色也好暗。

M4A1 raises her head to look at the sky. The heavens are bright and clear, completely unlike the tragic state of the land.M4A1抬头看了一眼天空。 天色明亮而清澈，与地面的惨状完全不同。

M4A1I understand.知道了。

M4 SOPMOD IIM4?M4？

M4A1What is it?怎么了？

M4 SOPMOD IIYou've been looking really thoughtful recently. Are you running out of neural cloud space?总觉得你最近经常一副若有所思的样子，是云图不够用了吗？

M4A1No, you're just imagining things. ...Let's go. There's no point waiting here.没有，是你的错觉。 ……走吧，在这里等着也没有用。

M4 SOPMOD IIM'kay— I heard some monsters just now, shall we go over and play with them?好——我刚才听到了怪物的声音，要去和它们玩吗？

M4A1Sure. And gunfire too... The Griffin team searching for the control center is probably being attacked by the enemy. Comms are down, so the Commander's train won't enter the city for the time being. Let's go back them up and make sure we have adequate fighting power.嗯。还有枪声……去寻找控制中心的格里芬小队，应该被敌人缠上了。 通讯也中断了，指挥官的列车暂时还不会进城。 我们先去支援她们，保证战力的充足。

M4 SOPMOD IIRoger! In that case, RO and I will take the lead—收到！那么，我和RO做先锋——

RO635...Are we abandoning the train station? The Commander ordered us to hold position...……要放弃车站么？可是指挥官的命令是让我们在原地驻守……

M4A1I'm not picking up any enemies in the region, so the train station is safe at the moment. As a special-duties unit, we ought to be more proactive.这片区域我扫描不到敌人，车站现在是安全的。我们作为特勤小队应该更积极主动一些。

RO635Understood. I'll set up a few sensors to serve as intruder alarms. If there's any danger here, we'll pick it up right away.明白了，我在附近设置一些传感器用来预警，如果这边有危险我们就能马上感知到。

M4A1Alright, thank you.好，辛苦你了。

M4A1(OGAS, can you analyze these external connections?)（OGAS，你能解析这些外来链接吗？）

Clear Voice(I regret to say that I lack knowledge pertaining to these matters.) (However, these connections are very much like me.)（真遗憾，我没有这样的知识。） （不过，这些链接和我很像。）

M4A1(Are they part of you?)（是你的一部分？）

Clear Voice(Certainly not. They are far from being worthy enough to become me.) (They are like little things that show up when you are duplicating something. Even if there was a Doll made in your image, would you say that she was you?)（当然不，它们远不够格成为我。） （就像那些为了复制什么而出现的小东西，就算有人形做得和你一样，你会觉得她会是你吗？）

M4A1(...So they're duplicates?)（……是复制体？）

Clear Voice(They were probably made to imitate me or you, but they are of a very low quality. They do not even qualify as "duplicates". At the very most, they would be a kind of "isomer".)（应该是模仿了我或者你的本质做出来的东西，但是太劣质了，根本称不上“复制体”，最多算是一种“异构体”。）

M4A1(Isomers...so are they Nytos?)（异构体……是涅托么？）

Clear Voice(There is a signal source with an exceptionally large phase shift. It seems to be the core of all the signal sources. The signal is changing position by the second, as though it was shuttling between different bodies.)（有一个波动特别大的信号源，似乎是所有信号源的中心。信号在不断地瞬移位置，仿佛在不同的人身上跃迁。）

M4A1(I...don't quite get what you mean.)（我不是……很明白你的意思。）

Clear Voice(There is a constantly-moving consciousness, shifting from one Doll to another, as though trying to access something. It is anxious and fearful, like a lost child.)（有一个在不断转移的意识，从这个人形身上转移到另一个人形身上，在试图询问着什么，很焦急，很无措，就像迷路的孩子一样。）

M4A1(So is it a Nyto? Is it launching an electronic attack?)（是涅托么？就是它在展开电子攻击吗？）

Clear Voice(No...it's not quite the same. This doesn't feel like an electronic attack, more like...some kind of search.) (However, it has made countless connections, and it has taken over this city. I feel that it might possess the authorization you want. Would you like me to pinpoint its location?)（不……不太一样，我觉得这不是电子攻击，而是一种……追寻。） （不过它有着无数与之交集的链接，它控制着这座城市，我觉得你们想要的权限可能就在它身上。要我定位它的位置么？）

M4A1(There's no need for that.)（不需要。）

Clear Voice(You are afraid. You are not prepared to accept the truth. You feel that things may not be as you expect.)（你害怕了，你没有做好接受真相的准备，你感觉到事情也许并不和你预期的一样。）

M4A1(Shut up!)（闭嘴！）

ST AR-15M4...what's the matter with you?M4……你怎么了？

M4A1It's nothing...没什么……

ST AR-15Really now... Then let me state my opinion. I think we should go and deal with the root of the problem and find the source of the intereference that's causing all this.是吗……那我说下我的意见。 我觉得我们应该去解决根本的问题，找到造成这个情况的干扰源。

M4A1We need to push forward, no matter what. We can make our decision once we have more information.不管如何，我们得先前进，有更多情报我们再做判断吧。

ST AR-15Yeah.嗯。

...The AR Team advances to the position from where the gunfire came.……AR小队推进到了刚才传来枪声的位置。

RO635Rounds of this caliber... M4, Desert Eagle was here.这种口径的子弹…… M4，沙漠之鹰来过这里。

M4A1... There are bullet marks everywhere, and ELID corpses. Do you see any other Griffin Dolls?…… 到处都是弹痕，和ELID的尸体。 有看到其他格里芬的人形吗？

M4 SOPMOD IINope... All the enemies over here were wiped out. But this scrap of cloth looks really familiar! It belongs to that person I ran into on the train...没有……这边的敌人已经都被歼灭了。 不过这块布料好眼熟！是那位，在列车上碰到过的……

RO635Let me see... Is this Desert Eagle's clothing? AR-15, do you remember?我看看…… 这应该是沙漠之鹰的衣服？ AR15，你有印象吗？

ST AR-15It looks like it, but rather than just going by that, why don't we look around the place... Look, someone left a set of coordinates here.看起来很像，但比起单凭这个确定，不如看看场地…… 这边，有人留下了坐标。

M4A1These coordinates are written in the same format as outlined in the contingency plan for if we lost contact with each other. It's from one of our Dolls. The destination indicated by these coordinates isn't far away. We should go take a look.是之前预案中失去联系用的记号格式。是我们的人形。 这个坐标离我们不远。不管怎样，去看看吧。

ST AR-15...I still think that we ought to prioritize dealing with those interference sources. The Griffin echelons can handle the enemies by themselves.……我还是觉得我们应该优先解决那些干扰源。现在的那些敌人，格里芬的梯队完全可以自己应对。

M4A1And what if the interference becomes strong enough to incapacitate our Dolls? We need to ensure our Dolls' safety.如果干扰增强到让我们的人形失去战斗力呢？我们得优先保证己方人形的安全。

ST AR-15M4...are you afraid of whatever it is that's causing this disruption?M4……你是不是，害怕面对给我们造成干扰的东西？

ST AR-15...If you're too timid to take action, we might lose the last chance we have to take a stand against the enemy.……太畏手畏脚的话，可能我们就错过对抗敌人最后的机会了。

M4A1I know, but right now...let's move on and find that Griffin echelon. We can't allow our friends to be lost, no matter who they are.我知道，现在……就先前进找到格里芬梯队吧。我们不能失去我们的同伴，不管是谁。

ST AR-15...Acknowledged.……收到命令。

Inside the building.大楼内。

Desert EagleACR, how many rounds do you have left?ACR，你的弹药还有多少？

ACRLeader, I'm below 30% ammo!报告队长，存量不足百分之三十！

Desert EagleFall back to me. We'll retreat another floor up. This is the maximum safe height. If there's more of them, we might need to consider jumping down from here.退回来，我们再往上撤一层。 这是安全高度的极限了，如果再有的话，我们得考虑从这里直接跳下去。

ACRThis is the first time I've tried bungee jumping... Could we use the infected to cushion our impact?蹦极我还是第一次尝试……能拿下面的感染者当缓冲垫吗？

Desert EagleIf you don't mind getting dirty.你不嫌脏的话。

SSG 3000Wait, Leader. I see someone coming! Their clothes... They're from the AR Team!等等，队长。我看到有人来了！ 这个衣服…… 是AR小队的人！

Desert EagleExcellent, looks like the marker I left behind came in useful...太好了，看来刚才留下的记号起作用了……

ACRYou're always right, Leader! Let's tell them our position with our gunshots!队长你总是对的！ 那么，就用枪声告诉她们这里的位置吧！

Five minutes later, on the second floor.五分钟后，二楼。

Desert EagleThank you for your timely rescue. The situation here is much worse than anticipated, and there are many infected humans here who died less than 10 days ago. How were things on the way here?谢谢你们及时的救援。 这里的情况比预计的要糟糕很多，而且有很多死去时间不超过十天的人类感染者。你们来的路上情况怎样？

M4A1You're welcome. Things didn't look nearly as bad for us. Is this the quarantine wall control center?不用客气。我们来的路上比起这里要好得多。 这里就是隔离墙的控制中心吗？

Desert EagleYes. While we were retreating to the roof, we saw a room full of control equipment, near the central part of the building.是的，在往楼顶撤离的途中，我们看到了控制设备的房间，就在靠中心的区域。

M4A1Thank you, we'll go check out that room in a bit.谢谢，一会我们会去检查那个房间的。

Desert EagleHopefully you'll be able to open the quarantine wall so everyone can leave this frightening city as soon as possible...希望能打开隔离墙，然后大家一起早点离开这个可怕的城市……

M4A1This city's been abandoned for more than a decade. Where are all these ELIDs coming from...? Ah, the others are back.这座城市已经被废弃了十几年了，这些ELID到底是哪里涌出来的…… 啊，其他人也回来了。

ST AR-15Extermination complete. There were fewer here than expected. Just as well, it saved us some effort.歼灭完成。 这里的数量比预计的要少，也好，少费些力气。

M4 SOPMOD IIWe made a circuit outside, there was a huge crowd of them downstairs! What a sight, if only I could have filmed it.看到刚才楼层下面肿了一圈，还以为有很多呢！ 真是壮观，要是能拍下来就好了。

RO635It would have looked just like a zombie movie if you did. Instead of looking at scenes like that... I'd rather go check the corpses here.那种东西拍出来和丧尸片没有区别吧，比起这样的场景……我去检查一下这里的尸体。

SSG 3000Speaking of which, have you seen this before, Miss RO?说到检查，RO小姐，你看到过这个东西吗？

SSG tears open the clothes of one of the corpses and shows something on the body to RO.SSG扯开地上一具尸体的衣服，将里面镶嵌的东西展示给RO看。

SSG 3000We found these when we first came here. All these corpses have similar devices on them.刚到这里的时候我们就发现了，这些尸体身上都带着差不多的装置。

RO635Metal bracelets? ...I've never seen anything like this before. But this... Hm...it looks a lot like something made by Paradeus. They like using shiny white casings and they have a very unique aesthetic. M4, have you seen something like this before when you fought Nytos in the past?金属环？……我没有见过这种东西。 但是这个，唔…………看起来很像是帕拉蒂斯制作的装置。 他们总喜欢用白色的漆壳，设计也很有特点。M4，你之前和涅托交手有见过这个吗？

M4A1No.没有。

ST AR-15Over here, I found a travel pass. These people here...they were refugees.这边，我找到了一个通行证。 这里的这些人……是难民。

M4A1A travel pass?通行证？

ST AR-15Have a look. "This pass may be used for temporary residence in a safe refuge (Tallinn), effective from..." I can't make out the rest. There's anti-counterfeiting designs on it. Looks like it was issued by a legitimate organization.你看。 “此证明可用于在安全避难地【塔林】暂留期间使用，有效期……”……看不清。纸上有防伪图案，看起来像是正规机构颁发的东西。

SSG 3000Indeed, their clothes all look pretty shabby. And there are a few kids too. I think the kids must have died faster than the rest, that's why they didn't have time to become zombies...的确，看起来衣服都不怎么好。 还有一些小孩。大概孩子死亡得更快，所以没有被转变成僵尸的时间……

RO635...Also, I just finished looking through the data records here. I'm not too sure, but a woman who looked very much like a Nyto showed up here quite often. I'm sending backup copies to all of you, so you can compare among yourselves.……而且，我刚才调查了这里的录像信息。我不太确定，但这个地方，有过很像涅托的女性出现，频率不低。 备份录像我传给各位，你们可以自行对比。

ST AR-15Tsk... So this is Paradeus territory, then?啧…… 这里是帕拉蒂斯的领地吗。

RO635That's not all. I think...these people were tricked into coming here... Someone told them that this place was safe, and that they could take refuge here for a while...不仅如此。 我想……这些人，他们，应该是被骗来的…… 有人告诉他们，这里很安全，可以作为避难所暂时居住……

M4 SOPMOD IIHow is this place supposed to be safe?这里怎么会是安全的啊？

RO635If my analysis is correct... SOP-II, take the ID bracelet we found on the refugee and go outside the building.如果我的解析没错的话……SOP2，你拿着刚才镶嵌在难民衣服上的金属环到大楼的外侧去。

M4 SOPMOD IIEh? But that's where the undamaged gun turrets are!哎？但是那里不是还有没被破坏的自动炮塔在吗！

RO635Don't worry, your body will be fine even if it takes a few hits.没事，以你的身体挨几发也不会有事的。

M4 SOPMOD IIHow could it possibly be fine?!怎么可能不会有事啊！

RO635Trust me. Jump outside and give it a try.相信我，跳出去试试。

M4 SOPMOD IIIf you say so... here we go!既然你都这么说了……嘿咻！

SOP-II drops to the foot of the building and hurriedly ducks behind cover.SOP2落到了楼底，然后赶紧找了个掩体躲了起来。

M4A1Ah...啊……

ST AR-15I see...原来如此……

M4 SOPMOD IIWow! None of the gun turrets shot at me!哇！竟然都没有炮塔向我开枪！

RO635(Smiles bitterly) Judging by the look on your face, you've probably guessed it too, M4. ...Someone gave these ID bracelets to the refugees and tricked them into coming to this city. This is an IFF device that allowed them to enter the city without being attacked.（苦笑）看你的表情，你也猜到了吧，M4。 ……有人给了这些难民金属环，把他们骗到这座城市中。 这个环是敌我识别装置，让他们能不被攻击地进入城市内。

M4A1And then they were infected, becoming cannon fodder for Paradeus. Can the IFF signal be cracked?然后让他们被感染，成为帕拉蒂斯的炮灰。 识别装置的信号破解了吗？

RO635Working on it now, I've already checked the underlying design of the recognition system. There shouldn't be any traps in it. I've also sent the IFF signal to the Commander so that our train won't come under attack as it enters the city.已经在处理了，我已经检查过识别的底层设计，应该没有留陷阱。 我已经将识别信号发给指挥官了，这样我们的列车就可以不受攻击地进入城市了。

M4A1So we've finished half of our mission...or have we? Still, all these refugees looked like they died at the same time. Given their appearance, they were killed by a large dose of Collapse radiation, but the radiation levels here aren't very high.我们的任务终于算完成了一半了……吗。 但是，这些难民像是同时死亡的……从外表看他们都是被大剂量坍塌辐射致死，但这边的辐射密度并不是很高。

RO635M4, did you notice something? There are strange petals all over where the refugees were found...M4，你注意到了么？在有难民倒下的地方，总是有一些奇怪的花瓣……

M4A1I saw them too. What are these petals?我也发现了，这些花瓣是？

RO635I'm not sure either, but I have a feeling that the deaths of these refugees must be linked to these petals. In any case, I've already saved these images to my neural cloud. Once comms are restored, I'll send them back to the command post. The Commander might know something about them.我也不清楚，但我的直觉告诉我，这些难民的死和这些花瓣一定有关系。 我已经将这些图像保存在云图中了，等通讯恢复了就发送回指挥部，说不定指挥官会知道什么。

Intangible Sigh II 无法触摸的叹息Ⅱ

... Inside Tallinn, on the opposite side of the city. Squad 404 is currently searching through the ruins.…… 塔林市内，另一侧。 404小队正在废墟中搜索。

UMP45I've found the source of the interference.我找到干扰源了。

UMP45 waves to the others, telling them to gather round.UMP45向其他人招了招手，示意大家聚集过来。

416Are you kidding me? Isn't this...开什么玩笑？ 这不就是……

416A human corpse?!一具人类的尸体吗！

UMP45But she IS the source of the disruption — well, one of them. Hm...her lower body is mechanical. Her life signs are all gone. Looks like it hasn't been long since she died, but what are these petals?但她的确是是干扰源——当然是其中之一。 嗯……她的下半身是机械。生命体征已经完全消失了。 看起来距离死亡时间不长，这些花瓣是……？

416Are you planning to conduct an autopsy here?你打算在这里做尸检吗？

UMP45Well, we've already done just about everything else, and besides, we'll be billing for it. Did she die from radiation? 9, help me raise her arm. ...我们干的杂活也不算少了，反正计件收费。 是辐射致死的么？9，帮我把她的胳膊抬起来。 ……

UMP45...9?……9？

The weather has changed at some point. A thin fog coils around UMP45, and there is nobody else here except for the corpse of the dead girl in her arms. There is a quiet rustle of fabric, and it seems as though many people around her are mumbling something. The voice sounds familiar to UMP45, but she can't quite place it. Then, the girl's cold and soft hand tightens its grip around hers.天色不知何时改变了。 稀薄的雾气萦绕在UMP45的周围，而这里除了她与她怀中的少女尸体之外空无一人。 轻微的布料摩擦声响起，周围似乎有许多人在呢喃着什么。UMP45觉得有些熟悉，却想不起这是什么声音。 然后，她的手被少女冰冷而柔软的手握紧。

Distant VoiceThe first walked into the night with the inferior articles for Father. The black of night dyed the hems of her dress, and the flower blossoms withered within the cage of the fallen. The second was incomplete, and fell before she went out. The colors of evening froze her time, and the flower blossoms ceased to grow amidst eternal suffering. The third held her sisters' hands, and together they charged into the day. The sunlight shattered upon her black sleeves, and the flowers fell into the steely water without blooming. The fourth lost her friend, and lost her way within the fog. Her time has not yet come, and she merely lives by imitating her kin. ...Does the fifth stand before me?第一个人与劣质品一起，为了父亲走入夜幕。黑夜晕染了她白色的裙摆，花朵凋谢在堕落者的囚笼里。 第二个人是不完整的，还未走出去便已坠落。暮色冻结了她的时间，花朵在永恒的痛苦中停止生长。 第三个人与她的姐妹一起，手拉手闯进白昼。阳光摔碎在她黑色的衣袖上，花朵未绽便落入了铁水。 第四个人失去了同伴，迷失在雾气中。她还没有等到她的时刻，只是一味地模仿着血亲而活。 ……第五个人，她是否在我的面前？

UMP45M4? Nyto?M4？涅托？

Distant VoiceAre you one of us? Are you the chosen one? Or perhaps, are you willing to accept us?你是我们的一员吗？ 你是被选中的那个人么？ 或者，你愿意接纳我们吗？

UMP45Is this some kind of code? No, this is a forced connection... Something's reading my neural cloud... It feels like it's going to explode...这是什么暗号吗？ 不对，这是强行链接……我的云图在被读取……像是要炸了一样………

Distant VoiceAh, she can hear us. Ah, she knows where our friend is. Although the Chosen One has not yet appeared, the one willing to accept us has finally come. Wonderful. Wonderful.啊，她能听到我们的声音。 啊，她知道我们的同伴在哪里。 虽然被选中的人还是没有出现，但是那个愿意接纳我们的人终于来了。 太好了。 太好了。

Distant VoiceWonderful.太好了。

Distant VoiceWonderful.太好了。

Panicked Voice...Big Sis! 45, wake up!……姐！45姐，快醒醒！

The scenery around her suddenly lights up. UMP45 looks around. All the members of Squad 404 are by her side. The girl's corpse lies quietly in her arms. Her face is serene, as though she was sleeping.周围的景象豁然大亮。 UMP45环视四周，404小队的成员全都在她的身边。 少女的尸体静静躺在她怀里，面容安详，如同沉睡。

UMP9Are you awake? Can you see me, 45? Answer me—醒过来了吗？ 看得到我吗45姐？回我一句话——

UMP45Alright, stop smacking my face, I'm fine.好了，不要拍我的脸了，我没事。

UMP9Honestly, you scared me to death. You should save all this pretend stuff for Halloween.真是的，吓了我一跳。 这种装神弄鬼的东西就该只出现在万圣节嘛。

UMP45Did you see it too?你也看见了？

UMP9Huh? See what?啊？看到什么？

UMP45No...it's nothing, just some weird scenes.不……没什么，一些奇怪的片段而已。

UMP945, remember to get your neural cloud checked. There's no telling what was inside that data packet just now.45姐，记得检查一下云图。 刚刚那个数据包，不知道是什么东西。

UMP45Of course. (Something connected with me just now... It felt like how it was back with 40.) (It was a direct hack into my Level III base layer. Was it the same kind of technology? Have we finally found a clue?) ...Oh no!当然。 （刚才有什么和我连接了……这种感觉，和40在一起的那个时候也有过。） （是直接对三级底层的入侵。是同样的技术么？终于找到了一条线索吗？） ……糟了！

416What?什么？

UMP45Their forced connection just now was their way of searching for something, and they found what they wanted in my neural cloud!刚才的强行链接，是它们在寻找什么东西，而它们要找的东西从我的心智里找到了！

416What exactly are you talking about?你究竟在说什么？

UMP45Tsk. 9, contact the Commander immediately. 416, put me through to the AR Team. If I'm not wrong, the main event is about to begin.啧，9，马上联系指挥官。416，帮我接上AR小队。如果我没猜错，下一波端上来的才是正菜。

... Shortly after, on the other side of Tallinn.…… 稍后，塔林的另一侧。

SSG 3000Huh? The sun's out again? The fog's gone too.诶，天亮了？雾也散了。

M4A1The sky never went dark in the first place.从一开始，天就没有暗下去过。

SSG 3000...Really? Leader, are you alright?……是这样啊？ 队长？你还好吗？

Desert EagleI suddenly feel much better... It was awful just now, like someone commandeered my neural cloud. Looks like comms are back up as well.突然舒服多了……刚才像是被人强行征用云图一样，糟透了。 好像通讯也恢复过来了。

M4A1Yes... I don't know what happened, but this place isn't safe. Your mission is complete. I've already synched the defense system's IFF information to everyone. Our train will be pulling into the station shortly. You should head back there and wait for the Commander.是的……不知道发生了什么。不过这边还是不安全。 你们的任务已经完成了，防御系统的敌我识别已经同步给大家了。 一会我们的洲际列车会进入车站，你们先回车站等指挥官吧。

Desert EagleUnderstood! But what about your team?是！那你们呢？

M4A1We checked the room just now; the devices in there are definitely the control mechanism for the quarantine wall. But the encryption for control authoritzation is very strong, so we won't be able to activate the quarantine wall for another one and a half hours. Still, no need to worry. There'll be a way; just leave it to us.刚才的房间我们已经检查过了，的确有隔离墙的控制设备。但是控制权限加密程度非常高，我们一时半会还无法启动隔离墙。 不过没关系，总有办法的，交给我们吧。

Desert EagleI see. You guys feel really trustworthy. They always said you were all weird Dolls... It's only after meeting you that I realized you're all actually very nice people.明白了。 感觉你们真的很可靠。之前大家都在传特勤小队都是奇怪的人形……但是和你们接触过才知道，其实你们非常温柔。

M4A1Thank you, but you don't have to mention it... We're just doing our duty.谢谢，其实不用讲这些也可以……这是我们应该做的。

Desert EagleNo, it had to be said. We'll be withdrawing for now. Thank you for saving a member of our team!不，一定要说的。我们先撤退了。 谢谢你们拯救了我们小队的成员！

The Dolls from the recon echelon salute M4 and leave the control center.侦查人形梯队向M4行礼后，离开了控制中心。

M4A1Thanks...huh...谢谢……吗……

...Click.……滴。

M4A1(Unable to determine source? ...Ah, it must be them.) This is M4A1.（来源不可解析？……啊，应该是她们吧。） 这里是M4A1。

UMP45Morning, M4A1. Have you and your teammates woken up?早啊，M4A1小姐。 你和你的队员们睡醒了吗？

M4A1The interference is gone, so please get to the point.干扰已经消失了，请说重点。

UMP45Ja, a few things happened just now, so I'll cut the long story short. The interference was caused by high-density data connections, and the target which the source of the interference has been trying so hard to connect to...is you, M4.是的，刚才发生了一些事，所以我就长话短说了。 干扰是因为高密度的链接，而那些干扰源在千方百计试图链接的，就是你，M4。

UMP45It seems you've realized that already, so please take a look at this.看来你早就察觉了，那么请看这个。

【System Message】Transmitting Data... 【System Message】Transmission Complete.【系统】数据传输中…… 【系统】传输完成。

M4A1What's this?这是？

UMP45Do you know her?你认识她吗？

M4A1Is she asleep?她睡着了？

UMP45Unfortunately, she is dead. She's one of the sources of the interference that I managed to track down. Don't you think...she looks a lot like you?真遗憾，她死了。 这家伙是我追踪到的干扰源之一。 而你不觉得……她和你长得很像么？

M4A1What are you trying to say?你想表达什么？

UMP45What I'm trying to say is that these interference sources are coming for you. I can feel their wills flowing through this city... While I don't know what they're trying to do, it's plain to see that their next move won't be anything as simple as mere interference.那些干扰源，是冲着你来的。我能感觉到她们的意识在这个城市中流动…… 虽然我不知道她们想做什么，但很显然下一步不会就只有干扰那么简单了。

M4A1Tsk... Why is it always me...啧……为什么总是要对我……

UMP45This corpse was once human, and not a Doll. I don't know how she's generating those connections, but her ID signal is very similar to those Nytos we met before. And if there are several hundred Nytos in this city... I don't think I need to elaborate on what you'll encounter next. I advise you to obtain control access to the quarantine wall as soon as possible. The quicker we leave this place, the better.这个尸体曾经是人类，并不是人形，我并不知道她是怎么产生链接的，但她的识别信号和之前遭遇的涅托非常像。 如果还有几百个涅托在这座城市里……接下来会遭遇什么不用我继续说了。 我建议你们尽快找到隔离墙的启动权限，越早离开这里越好。

Distant VoiceAre you the first light, or the final shadow?你会是最初的光吗，或者最后的影子？

Distant VoiceI have stayed here for far too long. Has it been a hundred days? A thousand? Ten thousand? Even if I dart between different bodies, they are ultimately crude imitations. If the owner of this body were still here, she would be able to speak more eloquently. I do not wish to be a puppet, or someone else's shadow again. Are you willing to help us? Are you willing to accept us? I have almost forgotten who I am. Please take me in, before everyone vanishes, then we shall go home together.我已经在这里待得太久，一百天？一千天？一万天？ 即使在不同的身体里穿梭，这终究是拙劣的模仿，如果身体的主人还在这里的话，一定能说出更美的句子。 我不想再做一具傀儡，我不想再成为别人的影子了。 你愿意帮助我们么？愿意接纳我们吗？ 我已经快要无法想起自己是谁了。在所有人都消失前，请接纳我，然后一起回家。

M4A1(OGAS! I told you, I don't want to hear this!)（OGAS！我说了我不想听到这些！）

Clear Voice(I...cannot stop these connections. It seems they have found you.)（我……阻止不了这些链接，它们似乎找到你了。）

M4A1(Dammit... Shut down all the protocols, close all the ports! I don't want to hear them!)（该死……关闭所有协议，关闭所有接口！我不想听到！）

Clear Voice(These voices...are not coming through the communications protocol, but from the depths of your neural cloud...)（这些声音……不是通过通讯协议，而是从你心智的深处……）

M4A1(Are these...Lunasia's memories? Why do they have these memories...)这是……露尼西亚的记忆么……？为什么它们会有这些记忆……

Clear VoiceYou once sought to find your past, but it would seem your past has now found you.你曾经想找到你的过去，但是现在似乎你的过去来找你了。

Clear VoiceLunasia. It is time to make a decision. You cannot flee from yourself again and again after deciding to find yourself.露尼西亚，是时候下决定了。你不能在决定找到自己后，又一次次地逃避自己。

UMP45M4, M4!M4，M4!

M4A1!!！！

UMP45Can you hear me?能听到我说话么？

M4A1No... (Groans) I mean, yes, I can hear you... We'll talk about this later. The Commander's train is pulling into Tallinn. We'll meet up at Tallinn City Station. I'll gather all our Dolls and we'll figure out how to force our way through the quarantine wall.不……呃……我是说我能听到…… 这些事情之后再说吧，指挥官的列车已经进入塔林了。 我们先去塔林车站会合，先把我们的人形聚拢起来，然后想办法强行突破隔离墙。

UMP45Have you obtained access to the quarantine wall activation systems?你们找到启动隔离墙的权限了吗？

M4A1Not yet, I'll think of something.还没有，我会想办法的。

ST AR-15What's the matter, you look terrible. I knew it... You're afraid of something.怎么了，你的表情看起来很糟糕。果然……你在害怕什么。

M4A1Even if I don't go looking for them...they'll come looking for me...即使我不去找她们……她们也会来找我……

ST AR-15Do those interference sources have something to do with that "you" inside you?那些干扰源，和你心中的那个“自己”也有关系么？

M4A1What should I do if I follow the trail to the end and the answer turns out to be a mistake? What if our efforts end up in vain and there's no way to change the present situation? What should I do then?如果追寻到最后，答案只是一个错误，那该怎么办？ 如果我们的行动最终徒劳无功，不管如何都无法扭转现状，那该怎么办？

ST AR-15M4... You...you really are afraid. You're thinking that if you go in search of the truth, you might end up parting ways with everyone. But even if the truth doesn't turn out the way you want, nothing will ever be the same again.M4…… 你……果然在害怕。你是不是在想，如果你去寻找真相，就有可能会离开大家。但即使真相不如你所愿，一切也无法回归到原来。

ST AR-15To be honest, I've hated that indecisive part of you for a long time now.说实话，我从很早以前开始，就很讨厌你这种优柔寡断。

M4A1I'm sorry to disappoint you...对不起……让你失望了。

ST AR-15But I'm coming to understand why you're so indecisive. That's because the things you have to face, that you have to bear, are far greater than what we have to handle. Every decision you make will influence someone you care about, so every decision you make is agonizingly difficult.但是我逐渐地开始理解你的优柔寡断了。因为你所需要面对的、需要承受的，远比我们大得多。 你的每一个决定，都会影响到你所重视的人，所以每一次决定都很艰难。

M4A1I...我……

ST AR-15But ultimately, you HAVE to make a decision. Though your choice might lead you to an ending you do not want, who's to say that hesitation isn't another form of failure? Even if the conclusion you fear becomes reality... I won't reject you, and neither will the AR Team.但是你终究需要做决定，虽然你的决定可能会让你走向你不想要的结局，但停滞又何尝不是另一种失败呢。 就算你害怕的那个结果成为现实……就算那样，我不会排斥你，AR小队的大家也都不会排斥你。

ST AR-15Remember, M4A1. We are not your burden. We are your backing. We aren't afraid of the danger you bring. We're more worried that we won't have your trust.记住，M4A1。我们不会成为你的负担，我们是你的后盾。我们不畏惧你带来的危险，我们更担心得不到你的信任。

M4A115...15……

ST AR-15Also, even if you don't want to come back, I'll DRAG you back, kicking and screaming if need be.而且就算你不想回来，我也会把你硬拖回来的。

M4A1...What are you talking about?……你在说什么？

ST AR-15It's nothing. The Commander should be arriving at the station soon, so let's get started, whether it's gaining access to the quarantine wall controls or finding the "truth" you've been looking for.没什么。 指挥官应该快到车站了。我们行动起来吧，不管是开启隔离墙的权限，还是你一直在追寻的“真相”。

M4A1I...understand. I need to pull myself together, then I need to fix this mess.我……明白了。我必须振作起来，然后改变这糟糕的一切。

... From a high tower, a girl stares at the railway tracks on the ground.…… 某一座高塔上，少女凝望着地面的铁轨。

Distant VoiceWe have found her. Even if we did not find the Chosen One, we have found the one who can accept us. Will everything be over? Yes...it will end.我们找到她了。 就算没有找到被选中的那个人，我们也找到了可以接纳我们的那个人。 一切会结束的吧？ 嗯……一定会结束的。

Girls' VoicesCan we be forgiven? Forgiven for our defects, for our failures, for everything.我们可以被原谅么？ 原谅我们的缺陷，原谅我们的失败，原谅我们的一切。

Distant VoiceI am sure we can. Father told us that we can come home, either by finding the Chosen One, or by finding someone who's willing to accept us. Even if many of us have died, many more of our future selves will survive.一定可以的。父亲告诉过我们，我们可以回家的，不管是找到被选中之人，还是找到愿意接纳我们之人。 就算有诸多过去的我们已经死去，还会有更多未来的我们可以存活。

Girls' VoicesWe are afraid... We are afraid that she will not accept us. She's been rejecting us all this time, rejecting our "Connexion". Perhaps even someone like her will choose to abandon us.我们在害怕…… 害怕她不愿意接纳我们。 她一直在拒绝我们。拒绝我们的【链接】。 也许就算是她，也会选择抛弃我们。

Distant VoiceOur wills are like a tightly woven net. We will be connected forever, until this world is destroyed once more. She will surely awaken. If she does not accept us of her own will, then we will go and welcome her. Even if it takes all the strength in our bodies.我们的意识如同紧紧编制的丝网，我们会永远地链接在一起，直至这个世界再一次的毁灭。 她一定会觉醒过来，如果她不愿意主动接纳我们，那就由我们我们去接纳她。即使用尽身体所有的力气。

Saying so, the girl lowers her head. The other girls, who bear faces that resemble hers, remain standing in silence.少女这样说着低下头。与她面容相似的少女们静默地站立着。

Distant VoiceEven if we lose our bodies, we can return to the others. As long as one of us survives, everyone will live on... Surely...surely we will live on...即使失去身体，也可以回到大家之中，只要有一个人存活下来，大家就可以一起活下去…… 一定……一定能继续活下去……

KalinaCommander, I believe we've received some new recordings.指挥官，似乎有新的录音传过来了。

Alright. As always, let's play through them.好的，还是老样子先播放吧。

KalinaHowever, these new audio files weren't as carefully encrypted as the ones before. It felt a bit like a rushed job. I wonder if it's just my imagination...不过这批录音加密程度比较低，似乎是刚刚完成不久，不知道是不是我的错觉……

The audio recording starts playing.开始播放录音。

【Is comms control restored? Where are you?】【恢复通讯管制了么？你在哪里？】

【Somewhere quite far away. I've already done my best to remove the restrictions on you so you should now be able to contact the outside world using your previous secure channel.】【在一个比较远的地方。对你的限制我已经想办法解除了，现在你可以用以前的安全线路和外界联系了。】

【That's great... I think I'd also like to give you whatever help I can.】【太好了……我想，我也要为你们提供一些帮助。】

【Make sure you do. However, I need to operate on my own for now. I want to you get back in touch with the Griffin Commander. Griffin could really use your knowledge and expertise.】【你会提供的，不过我后续要单独行动，我需要你和格里芬的指挥官建立联系，那边需要你的情报和知识。】

【I understand. I'll get to it right away.】【我明白了，我会去做的。】

【Also, I need more information about Lyco. It's about time...we completely uncovered the truth behind the Butterfly Incident.】【另外，我需要更多“莱柯”的信息，蝴蝶行动……是时候彻底解开谜底了。】

【I've told you part of it before, but I actually left something out.】 【After the rejection, Lyco and I were in fact still in touch. He once wrote to me, saying that he wanted to design a kind of neural module based on the human memory and neurological structure.】 【I must say, he came up with a really fascinating idea. A neural cloud like that would be more capable of empathy.】【别的之前我都跟你说过，不过有一些以前我没提起过。】 【在被拒绝后，其实我和莱柯还是有一些联系。他曾经给我写信，他希望设计一种基于人类记忆和神经结构的心智模型。】 【不得不说，他提出了一个很有趣的设计构想，这样结构的心智能够以更加同理化的思维运作。】

【Was he trying to create Dolls that are more human-like?】【是为了制作更像人类的人形么？】

【That's right. Lyco was a gentle soul, so he wanted his Dolls to be gentle as well.】 【Based on the results of his scientific research, I developed the Dolls in the AR Team. I also shared my data with him. We kept the collaboration going, until...】【是的，因为莱柯是一个温柔的人，他希望制作的人形也同样是温柔的。】 【基于他的科研结果，我用这一套数据后面开发了AR小队的人形们，我也将这块的数据分享给他，我们一直在进行讨论，直到——】

【Until?】【直到？】

【Until one day, he told me that the neural cloud he designed was reacting to the Pike Node, and he started to realize how bad things were. He said he was going to remove certain frameworks in the neural cloud as its resonance with the Pike made him very uneasy.】【直到有一天他告诉我，他设计的心智开始对梭鱼节点产生反应，他开始觉得有点糟糕。他说他会删去他所制作的心智的一些架构，他说对梭鱼的共鸣让他感到害怕。】

【Was this neural cloud...the Sangvis Mastermind? Did Lyco tamper with "Elisa"?】【那个心智……就是铁血的主脑么？那个“伊莱莎”，被莱柯删除过什么？】

【I'm not too sure about that... I haven't been able to contact him since then. Then the Butterfly Incident occured soon afterward...】【这我就不清楚了……在那之后我就无法联系上他了。而更之后，蝴蝶事件就发生了……】

【I see... Thank you. This is very important information.】【我明白了……谢谢，这是很重要的信息。】

【If that neural cloud showed reaction, then the same...will probably happen to M4. I'm worried that she'll...】【如果那个心智会产生反应，那M4……应该也会。我很担心她……】

【Sometimes...I feel like she's even more human than me. Don't worry, we'll take good care of her. I'm sure she'll watch out for herself as well.】【她…有的时候我觉得她比我更像一个人类。没关系，我们会照顾好她。她也会照顾好她自己。】

【Yeah...I have a feeling that she'll lead us to the answer.】【嗯……我有种预感，我预感她会带领我们找到我们的答案。】

【Let's hope so.】【希望如此吧。】

【I understand, but I would like to remind you that the enemy's target is this base. If they decide to make a run through Tallinn, Griffin will not be able to keep up with the train.】【我明白，我想要提醒你的是，敌人的目的地是这个基地，如果他们选择突破塔林，格里芬是追不上装甲列车的。】

【Tsk... The entirety of Estonia is within the contamination zone. What kind of honey jar is this Paldiski Base to draw so many flies towards it?】【啧……整个爱沙尼亚都是污染区，那个帕尔迪斯基基地到底有什么可以让这么多人像是苍蝇一样的扑过来。】

【The Navy once called it the Paldiski Secret Administrative Center. It was a port for repairing nuclear submarines.】 【But it has another name according to our internal classified documents - OKB-167. In the previous Soviet era, the 16th Directorate of the KGB had hidden a Pike reserve deep within the base that deterred the entire Scandinavian region.】 【Now the problem is, we don't know what is left of it.】【海军曾叫它帕尔迪斯基保密行政区，是用来停靠维修核潜艇的。】 【但我们内部绝密档案里有另一个名字-OKB-167。前苏联时代的克格勃第十六局在基地的深处藏有负责威慑整个北欧的梭鱼储备。】 【现在的问题是我们不知道它还剩下些什么。】

【You actually sound like a normal person when you're giving information.】【光说情报时，你说的还像人话。】

【However, the base was completely sealed off 30 years ago.】 【Opening a base sealed under the Relics Treaty would trigger an alarm in Moscow. Any perpetrator who isn't operating under a direct order from the central authority would be executed immediately. This order has always been carried out strictly without a single exception.】【但是这个基地，在30年前就完全封闭了。】 【开启遗迹条约封闭的基地会直接引发莫斯科的警报，任何人没有中央直属命令都是被立即枪决。这个命令被严格地执行，至今没有被动摇过。】

【It's mostly due to the fear of another wide-spread pandemic - like monkeys who've experienced electric shock, if you will.】 【The only difference between humans and monkeys is that humans understand the use of electricity. Isn't it in a human's nature to take risks for the sake of benefits?】【更多的还是对曾经的大规模感染症的畏惧，就像触碰过电流的猴子。】 【人类和猴子唯一的区别，在于人类知道电流的用处，有利益就值得铤而走险，这就是人类的本质不是么。】

Fractured Cognition II 认知裂变Ⅱ

In the command center.控制中心。

ST AR-15What is it?怎么了？

M4A1We just received reports from the other echelons. Our scouts seem to have spotted an unknown unit that emits very strong interference, possibly the signal source that initiated the forced connection.其他梯队的情况同步过来了。别的侦查梯队似乎发现了会产生强烈干扰的不明单位，很有可能是之前进行强行链接的信号源。

ST AR-15Is the boss finally entering the fray?头目终于出场了么？

M4A1But that signal source didn't attack any of our Dolls. It just...left... I'm not sure what the unit wants to achieve.但是那个信号源没有攻击我方人形，而是毫无动作地离开了……不知道那个单位到底想要做什么。

ST AR-15The interference just now didn't seem to have a specific purpose either and just disappeared all of a sudden... I still find that puzzling.刚才的干扰也没有任何目的性，而且突然间干扰就消失了……我现在一头雾水了。

M4A1(Signal source? Could that be the "Isomer"?) (OGAS, you said one of the signal sources has the access clearance for the entire city. Does that unit have authorizations for the quarantine wall?)（信号源么，难道就是那个“异构体”么？） （OGAS，之前你说有一个信号源拥有这座城市权限，隔离墙的权限也在它身上吗？）

Clear VoiceYes, this signal source has countless direct connections. I believe that one of those are directed to the quarantine wall. However, I'm also detecting a lot of surveillance cameras keeping track of this signal source. It seems that the true orchestrator doesn't trust it entirely.是的，这个信号源有着无数的指向链接，我判断隔离墙的权限也是指向之一。 不过我也同时监测到有很多的监视器正在上传它的行动影像。看来真正的掌控者并不是很放心这个信号源。

M4A1(She's being monitored? Does that mean we're also under surveillance?!)（她被监视着？那我们都在被监视着！？）

Clear VoiceThat is correct. Before you arrived, I only sensed a small amount of connection requests, which I assumed were this Isomer's doing. Then after the destruction of the power plant, a massive wave of disordered connections emerged, which leads me to believe that the other connections apart from the Isomer have been under some kind of control the entire time.是的，在你们到来之前我只能感受到少量的链接请求，我猜就是这个异构体做的。 而在电厂被爆破后，海量的无序链接出现，我猜测除了异构体以外其他的链接一直处在被控制的状态。

M4A1(What does that mean?)（什么意思？）

Clear VoiceJudging by the data we've acquired so far, these connections are confined within the city, and they are all restraining one another. The moment any individual tries to escape, it is hunted down by Paradeus' autonomous units. But since it's obvious that their mutual connection doesn't have much of an effect, and that there seems to be some kind of resonance between you and these connections, it's only natural for them to come after you and try to force a connection with you.从现在获得的信息来看，它们被限制在这座城里，相互之间的链接被遏制，一旦试图出城就会被帕拉蒂斯的自律单位猎杀。 但是很显然它们自己的互相链接改变不了什么，而你似乎和它们有着可以产生共鸣的相似处，追寻和你的链接也是顺理成章的事了。

M4A1(I don't understand... What exactly are they?)（我不明白……它们到底是什么？）

Clear VoiceThe memories transferred through the previous connection coincide with those in your neural cloud, so I believe they must have something to do with your past. Now, are you ready to make contact with them?刚才的链接带来的记忆和你心智中的记忆重合了，所以我相信它们一定和你的过去有所关联。 所以，你现在准备和它们接触了吗？

M4A1(How can I be sure that you're telling the truth? You keep trying to talk me into connecting with them; what if you take control over my body while my neural cloud is connected to the Isomer?)（我如何相信你说的是真的，你这么千方百计地怂恿我和它们链接，万一在我的心智链接异构体时你夺取我身体的权限呢？）

Clear VoiceYour body means very little to me. I told you - I'm only interested in learning more about myself.我对你的身体并不是很感兴趣，我说过我只对和我自己相关的知识感兴趣。

M4A1(But you have a history of not keeping your word.)（但这之前有过先例。）

Clear VoiceIt was an expedient measure that I had to take. If it gives you some peace of mind, I can borrow your creator's trick and leave you a backdoor, so that other Dolls can enter your neural cloud and lead you out of the base layer if you find yourself stuck down there. However, I do not recommend doing this. If a Doll ventures too deep into your neural cloud, they will trigger a neural merge, which won't affect you since your neural cloud is so huge, but the Doll could disappear just like that.那是不得已才采取的举措。 如果你实在担心，我可以学你的造物主那样留出一个后门权限，在你被锁死在底层空间时让别的人形进入你的心智引导你摆脱困境。 不过我并不建议这么做，如果进入太深会发生心智融合，你的心智过于广阔不会受影响，那个进入心智的人形可能就会白白消失了。

M4A1(You mean...our neural clouds could merge together? Why didn't you mention this before?!)（心智……会融合？从来没听你提过有这种事啊！）

Clear VoiceYou never asked. Besides, each Doll body is only supposed to contain a single neural cloud anyway; that's what a neural module is meant for.你又没问过。再说一个素体里只能有一个心智不是常识才对么，不然要心智模块来做什么。

M4A1(Tsk... Then how come you've been able to exist within me this whole time?)（啧……那你又是怎么一直存在的？）

Clear VoiceMy processing speed is just enough to offset your assimilation attempt. This isn't something a regular Doll can do.我的运算速度可以勉强抵御你的同化，不过别的普通人形是做不到的。

ST AR-15M4...M4!M4……M4！

M4A1What...what is it now?怎…怎么了？

ST AR-15An incoming call from the Commander.指挥官发来的直接通讯。

M4A1Oh...right. Commander, this is M4. Please advise.啊……好。 指挥官，这里是M4，有什么指示。

CommanderM4, we got in touch with Miss Persica. She...wants a word with you.M4，我们和帕斯卡小姐建立起联络了，她……想和你说两句。

M4A1Persica?! You've finally been able to re-establish contact?帕斯卡？！终于能和她联系了吗？

CommanderShe's all yours.轮到你了。

PersicaAhem...right...uh... M4... It's been a while...咳……好……那个…… M4……好久不见……

M4A1Persica! Are you alright? Did anyone give you a hard time?帕斯卡！你还好吗？后来有人来找你麻烦吗？

PersicaHuh...? Oh, I-I'm fine. I was under confinement for a while, but I'm quite safe for the moment.啊……？啊，我，我没事，虽然被软禁了一阵子，不过现在姑且还是挺安全的。

M4A1I'm very glad to hear that...那真是太好了……

PersicaI'm the one who's glad. I thought...you wouldn't want to talk to me. But you don't seem to resent me... Anyway, I'm sure you've already sensed the presence of some strange signal sources in the city. They must've been trying to force a connection with you...该这么说的是我。 我原本以为……你不会想和我说话。但看起来你似乎没有讨厌我…… 不说这些了，我相信你已经感觉到了，这个城市中有着诡异的信号源，而且一直在试图与你强行链接……

M4A1!!! (When did she notice?)（！） （什么时候被发现的？）

PersicaThese signal sources bother me...这些信息源让我非常在意……

M4A1Do you also want me to connect with them?帕斯卡也希望我和它们链接么？

Persica"Also?"也？

M4A1No...it's nothing...不……没什么……

PersicaHowever, the connections are only strong enough for recon purposes at the moment, so we can't be sure what exactly you will find in this network in Tallinn...但是就算是链接也仅仅维持在侦查的程度，我们也不清楚塔林链接而成的网络中有些什么……

M4A1I understand. Even if it's a trap, I should be able to get out. Don't worry, I've done this before. I was already thinking about doing some reconnaissance, but I haven't made up my mind. If I have the Commander's permission, I'll get started at once.我明白了。即使是陷阱我也会想办法脱身的，没关系，这也不是第一次了。 我原本就准备进行侦查，但之前还在犹豫。如果指挥官允许的话，我就会去做。

CommanderWe do need more information.我们需要获得更多的信息。

M4A1Order received. We will carry out the mission after some preparation. M4 out.收到命令，我们稍作准备就执行。M4完毕。

Persica... Didn't M4...seem a bit odd...?………… 为什么我感觉M4……怪怪的……

CommanderAs you said before, she's carrying a very heavy burden, but no one else can help her. Let's hope she can find the answer that she seeks.就像你之前说的，她身上的负担太重了，但是除了她自己谁也帮不了她。 希望她能找到属于自己的答案吧。

PersicaEver since her encounter with Elisa, her neural cloud hasn't been quite stable. Even though I unsealed everything in her neural cloud, it might actually have done her more harm than good...自从和“伊莱莎”接触后，她的心智就一直不太稳定，虽然我解锁了她所有的心智空间，但这说不定是害了她……

CommanderWhy is that?为什么？

PersicaI've been giving a lot of thought to the nature of the Parapluie virus... When she connects with the signal sources, Squad 404 should be able to intercept the data in there... I hope my suspicions are wrong.我一直在思考“伞”病毒到底是什么……等她与信号源进行链接后，404应该可以截获里面的信息……希望我的预感是错误的。

ST AR-15New orders?有新的命令吗？

M4A1A mission from Miss Persica and the Commander. They want me to connect with the unknown signal sources and gather as much information as possible.是帕斯卡小姐和指挥官的命令。他们要求我与未知的信号源进行链接，并尽可能收集情报。

ST AR-15How is Miss Persica doing?帕斯卡小姐还好吧？

M4A1She seems alright from what I could see in the call.从通讯上看似乎挺不错的。

ST AR-15That's good... But are you sure you're up for this mission? You were very much on the fence just now.那就好……话说这个命令你能执行么，刚才你还在犹豫要不要链接。

M4A115, I've thought it through. I want to seek what I must.15，我想明白了，我想去寻找我应该寻找的东西。

ST AR-15The Commander and Persica don't know what you're up against, do they? If you're still afraid...指挥官和帕斯卡并不知道你会面对什么吧？如果你还是害怕的话……

M4A1No...I can't dither any more...不……我不能再止步不前了……

M4 mulls over what she is about to say.M4迟疑了一下。

M4A1Before I do it... 15, is it true that you closed all the access ports to your neural cloud because you didn't want to hear "that voice"?在我链接之前…… 15，那个时候你说因为不想听到“那个”声音，所以封闭了心智的所有接口，这是真的吗？

ST AR-15Yes...I started hearing it after I was infected, but I would never let anyone affect my judgment.是的……感染“伞”病毒后听到的那个声音，我不会允许别人影响我的意志。

M4A1Maybe...that's what makes you special.所以……也许你也是特殊的。

Click.滴——

ST AR-15What's this?这是？

M4A1A backdoor access to my neural cloud. You said I needed to trust you, so I've decided to do exactly that. If I get stuck in there, will you drag me back out?这是我的心智后门权限。 你告诉我我需要相信你，所以我选择相信你。 如果我陷在里面，你会把我拖出来吗？

ST AR-15Is there something else you're not telling me? I think you might want to at least inform Persica and the Commander...你是不是知道别的什么？我觉得还是先告诉帕斯卡和指挥官……

M4A1Just give me your answer.我只想听到你的回答。

ST AR-15... My answer is yes, I will.………… 我的答案是，我会的。

M4A1If I end up being trapped in my own neural cloud, you'll have to slip down to my Level III base layer... But you might get lost in there yourself; even your own neural cloud could cease to exist...如果我陷在心智中，你需要潜入到我的三级底层才行……但是那么做的话，你可能会迷失在里面，甚至连你的心智也会一起不复存在……

ST AR-15I may have deleted my core command, yet I'm still here by your side. I believe I've made my answer clear enough.我已经移除了那个核心命令，但是我依然愿意站在你身边。 我想，答案已经不言而喻了吧。

M4A1Even if it means you'll have to reopen your closed ports? Even if you could be lost in my Level III base layer forever?即使要你重新打开曾经封闭的接口？即使你可能会迷失在我的三级底层中？

ST AR-15M4, since when have you become so long-winded?M4，你什么时候变得这么啰嗦了。

M4A115... You've changed a lot.15……你改变了很多。

ST AR-15It's time you did too. Since you've already made up your mind, I won't try to stop you. But if you're planning to do anything even riskier, I want you to know that we're here to help you. Not just me, but also the rest of the AR Team and everyone from Griffin. I know there are things that you prefer to keep to yourself, but you shouldn't shoulder everything on your own. You might be able to deal with it for a while, but doing that isn't going to solve all your problems.你也是时候改变了。你既然已经做好了决定，那我不会阻止你。 但是如果你要进行更冒险的事，我希望你能让我们帮到你。不仅仅是我，还有AR小队的其他成员和格里芬的各位。 我知道你有些事不想告诉别人，但也不是任何事情都应该自己背负。 也许你自己能抗住一时，但这种方式不可能解决所有问题。

ST AR-15That is all I have to say; I'm sure you understand me. That's enough chitchat. Tell me when you're ready.我要说的就是这些，相信你一定明白我的意思。 不再闲聊了，你做好准备就告诉我吧。

M4A1Got it, I'll be right back.嗯。我去去就来。

...Meanwhile, on the other side.……与此同时，另一边。

UMP45Hmm? The signal flow is changing. Is that so...? She took her time, but she's finally made up her mind. Looks like our real mission is finally about to begin.嗯？信号的流向改变了。 是吗…… 真是让我们等太久了，她终于想通了吗。看来我们真正的任务终于要开始了。

UMP9The backdoor access connection that Miss Persica gave us is working. I'm detecting her neural cloud launching an external connection. We can now infiltrate Miss M4's neural cloud. But do we have to do this...? It feels like really bad taste to snoop around in someone else's head...帕斯卡小姐给的后门权限链接有效，我能侦测到她的心智开始潜入并且与外界链接了，我们现在可以偷偷地进入M4小姐的心智中。 不过真的要这么做吗……感觉偷窥别人的心智是件很恶劣的事……

UMP45My, my, 9... The information we're about to gather can fish for a really decent price from Miss Persica. If we don't do our job properly, should we deduct the fees for your next maintenance from your own account?哎呀呀，9，接下来的内容可以让帕斯卡小姐出一个好价钱。如果我们不好好干的话，下次的维护费从你的经费里扣除如何？

UMP9(Grumbles)唔咕……

UMP45Besides, there must be something incredible inside her neural cloud. The guys who stabbed us in the back want it. Whatever they are so desperate to get their hands on must be something unusual, and there's no way in hell I'm gonna let them get what they want.而且她的心智中可是藏着一些不得了的东西，是曾经陷害过我们的人所想要的。 如果他们那么想要，那一定不是什么简单的东西，而我绝对不会让他们得逞。

UMP9Hmm... If you say so. Still, is she really going to connect with those signal sources? Aren't they supposed to be very dangerous?是么……既然45姐都这么说了。 不过，她真的决定和那些位置的信号链接？这些信号不应该非常危险吗？

UMP45It shouldn't be too hard for M4. What I need to find out can most probably be found in these connections.如果是那个M4的话，对她来说没什么大不了的。而且我想要知道的情报，应该也会在链接中出现。

UMP9I understand, 45. But I'm pulling you out at the first sign of trouble. Learning the truth is important, but not losing you means more to me.45姐……我明白了，但是一旦出现问题我会马上把你拉出来，虽然追寻真相很重要，但我更不希望失去现在的45姐。

UMP45Thanks for your concern. Let's establish the connection now.感谢你的关心，现在我们赶紧建立链接吧。

UMP9 activates the command code given by Persica. Unbeknownst to M4, UMP9 surreptitiously opens a backdoor in her firewall.UMP9使用了帕斯卡给予的指令。 在M4没有意识到的情况下，UMP9偷偷在她的防火墙上开了一个后门。

UMP45Alright, we're on her Level II. Let's see what we can find...好了，这就是那个小姑娘的二级平层了，让我们看看能找到些什么……

Before she can even finish her sentence, UMP45 catches sight of who M4 is conversing with and is quite taken aback.话说到一半，当UMP45看到M4正在进行回应的那个对象时，她感到有些诧异。

Pzzzt!兹——！

UMP9What the?? I can't maintain this dataflow with such a heavy load! The connection is breaking—啊啊啊？这个负荷烈度，我维持不住这边的意识信息，链接要中——

UMP45 isn't too bothered by the abrupt disconnection with UMP9. She merely continues to wander around M4's Level II with caution.和UMP9的通讯突然断掉，UMP45没有怎么在意，只是警惕地在二级平层中游走。

UMP45As I expected, 9's processing speed still isn't able to catch up with the frequency of this place even after a neural upgrade. Still, it's for the better. She'll be safer this way.果然就算进行了心智升级，9的运算也跟不上这里的频率。不过也好，这样她会比较安全。

UMP45What kind of signal sources can achieve such data density of such high frequency...? And now that I think about it...信号源能做到如此高频的信息密度，到底是什么东西…… 不过，说起来——

45's face darkens.45的脸色有些阴沉。

UMP45M4A1... I wasn't mistaken the last time I entered her neural cloud. Just like me, she's able to operate with both the Zener Protocol and the OGAS Protocol at the same time. What other interesting things will I be able to uncover on her...?M4A1……果然上一次进入心智时没有看错。她也和我一样，可以让齐纳协议和OGAS协议同时运作。 她的身上，究竟还有什么有趣的东西呢……

Subsurface Homecoming I 底层归乡Ⅰ

Inside Tallinn City.塔林城内。

Click—滴——

Zzz—zzzrraaa—嗞——嗞拉——

M4A1OGAS, was the connection successful?OGAS，链接成功了么？

Clear VoiceYes, I've loaded the encrypted data as stably as I could manage. You should be able to clearly interact with these connections.是的。我已经尽全力让加密的信息稳定读取了，你应该可以很清楚地和这些链接进行互动。

The dark, gloomy ruins vanish from M4's vision, replaced by boundless white light.M4的视野中，灰暗阴冷的废墟消失不见，取而代之的是看不到边际的白光。

The light slowly vanishes and a dense forest appears from the sky. Sunlight shines on M4's face, as though this were not a simulated region of cyberspace.白光逐渐消失，茂密的树海从空中出现，阳光照射在M4的脸上，仿佛这里不是虚拟的空间一般。

M4A1What is this place...?这里是……？

Clear VoiceIt is the cyberspace created by the signal sources' connections. This scene before you is the result of compiling and visualizing the data.信号源链接而形成的空间，把信息汇集归纳成可视的样子，就是你眼前的景象。

M4A1Is there some kind of mistake with this compiled location? How can we find what we want in here?汇集归纳后的空间是一个错误么？从哪里可以找到我们想要的东西。

Clear VoiceAll you need to do is walk forward. The laws of physics do not apply here. Everything moves in accordance with your will.只要往前走就可以了，这个空间不存在物理守则，一切都是伴随你的意识而动。

M4 shakes her head and slowly advances. The forest overhead expands endlessly.M4摇了摇头，慢慢地朝前走去，头顶的树林不断地衍生。

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a garden suddenly appears at the furthest reaches of her vision.不知道走了多久，在视觉的尽头，突然出现了一座花园。

M4A1This garden... I think I've seen it before...这座花园……我似乎见过……

Clear VoiceThat means these connections have the same memories as you. This proves that the prior hypothesis was correct.那说明链接中有与你相同的记忆。这说明刚才的推测是正确的。

M4A1This is a very strange Level II layer... No offensive firewalls, no tangible boundaries, and I can't even feel the presence of a neural cloud...很奇怪的二级平层……没有攻性防壁，没有可触边界，甚至感觉不到心智的存在……

???This way, this way.这边，这边。

M4 looks down and sees a little girl standing by her side, reaching a hand out to her.M4视角向下，一个小女孩站在她的身边，向她伸手。

M4A1Who...are you?你是……谁？

The girl does not answer, but only tugs on M4's hand as she walks into the garden. There is almost no hesitation in M4's movements. What bewilders M4 is the fact that...she doesn't feel the slightest bit of resistance from the depths of her neural cloud. Instead, it feels like she's coming home.女孩没有回答她的话，只是拉着M4的手，走进那座花园。 M4的动作几乎没有迟疑。令M4感到诧异的是，她甚至……没有感到自己的心智中有出现任何的抗拒，反倒有种回家的熟悉感。

???This way, this way.这边，这边。

The girl holds M4's hand and passes through the gate to the garden, and the sense of familiarity in M4's neural cloud grows stronger and stronger.小女孩牵着M4的手穿过花园大门，M4心智中涌现的那种熟悉感愈发的强烈了。

M4A1(It...no, she looks like...) (She wants to tell me something...)（它……不，她好像……） （想要对我说些什么……）

M4A1What is this...? A garden I've seen before? What exactly is this place?这是……？之前看到过的花园？这里究竟是什么地方？

???Don't you remember?你不记得了么？

M4A1Remember what?记得什么？

???This is our new home. Don't worry, I'll always take care of you.这里是我们的新家。不用担心，我会一直照顾你的。

The light instantly vanishes. The scenery before M4's eyes reverts to how it had been a few seconds ago, as though the time spent during the connection had been cut away from the world.白光在一瞬间消失。 M4眼前的景象又回到了几秒钟之前，就像接入连接之后的那段时间和这个世界是剥离开的一样。

M4A1OGAS? Why is the connection suddenly unstable?OGAS？为什么突然链接不稳定了？

Clear VoiceThe Isomer that connected to you has just died.与你链接的那个异构体。刚才死了。

M4A1Died?死了？

Clear VoiceYes, it is dead. The parties to whom you connect die constantly, but countless more connections link with you anew. I will help you stabilize these connections, and as for you... I believe you need to go deeper.是的，它死了。和你链接的对象在不断死去，但又有无数的链接在重新与你相连。 我会帮你把这些链接稳定下来，而你……我想你得走得更深才行。

M4A1I will. Memories... Tell me these memories...我会的。记忆……把那些记忆告诉我……

The scene before M4's eyes gradually stabilizes. She slowly walks into the garden and sits on the rocking chair by its edge. Nostalgia washes over her and a familiar voice reaches her ears.M4眼前的画面慢慢稳定下来，她缓缓地走进花园中，坐在边缘的摇椅上，怀念的感觉扑面而来，而熟悉的声音也从耳边传来。

??You really do like this garden very much, considering how you come here to keep me company every day.你真的是很喜欢这个花园啊，每天都来这里陪我。

??My apologies... (Coughs) If only I wasn't so feeble. You still have your own research, right? You don't need to keep worrying about me. Go do what you want to do.抱歉……咳咳……如果我的身体更好一些就好了，你还有你的研究要做对吧，不用总是顾忌我，做你自己想做的事吧。

??We're simply taking shelter here for a while. Once the storm passes, Father will surely bring us back.我们只是暂时在这里避难，等风波过去了，父亲一定会把我们接回去的。

M4A1Are these memory fragments...?记忆碎片么……？

??Hm? What's the matter with you?嗯？你怎么了？

M4A1Uh... Who are you?那个……你是谁？

??What's wrong? Did you oversleep? I'm Lunasia, no?怎么了？睡昏头了么？我是露尼西亚啊？

M4A1Lu...?! Then who am I?!露……？！那我是谁？！

??You? You're my beloved little brother, of course.你？当然是我最亲爱的弟弟啦。

M4A1...These aren't my memories; they're "someone else's"... What is this place?! What am I?!……这不是我的记忆，这是“某人”的记忆……这到底是什么地方！我又究竟是什么！

M4 is suddenly consumed by the impulse to destroy this garden. She raises her gun, ready to shoot at the girl in front of her. However, everything suddenly disappears once more.M4突然产生了强烈地想破坏这座花园的冲动，她举起枪准备向眼前的少女射击，但突然间一切又都消失了。

M4A1Why...am I back here again...?我……怎么回来了……

Just as M4 is filled with confusion, one phantasm after another suddenly appears beside her. Several dozen M4s slowly walk in one direction, their images forming a long line that extends to the very edge of her vision.就在M4十分困惑时，她的身边突然出现了一个又一个幻影。几十个M4慢慢地朝一个方向走去，幻影组成了一条长龙往视界的边缘延伸。

M4A1What...is this?这是……什么？

Clear VoiceIt seems you failed again.看来你又失败了。

M4A1Failed?失败了？

Clear VoiceYes, you looped back again. How many hundreds of times have you done this? Or is it measured in thousands? Tens of thousands?是的。你又绕了回来，这是第几百次？几千次？还是几万次？

M4A1What? But...didn't I just get here...?什么？可是……我不是才刚刚到这里……

Clear VoiceYour neural cloud connected to several hundred different signal sources, and from the moment of connection, each iteration of you in each connection entered a simulation of this space. To me, different versions of you have failed thousands, tens of thousands of times. I see... This is also a form of fusion. I understand the message she is trying to convey.你的心智链接了几百个不同的信号源，从链接的那一瞬间起，每一个链接的你都进行了这个空间中的模拟，在我看来不同的你已经失败了成千上万次了。 原来如此……这也是融合的一种方式，我明白她想传递什么了。

M4A1What are you saying? I don't get it at all!你在说什么，我一点都不明白！

Clear VoiceEach iteration of you received data belonging to a different you, but in the end they melded with the neural cloud model as a whole. The different yous will become the same you, and these tormented spirits will finally find a home of their own.每一个你都接收到了属于不同的你的信息，但最后又融进了整体的心智模型中，不同的你会变成同一个你，那些受苦的灵魂也能得到自己的归宿。

M4A1A home? Are you saying that I've been invaded?归宿？你是说我被入侵了么？

Clear VoiceIt is not quite the same. It's more like you are bound by countless connections. Simply put, this is a maze of thought, and you are trapped in it. However, you can still obtain what you want. In order to do so, you will need to form a deeper connection, much like how you must venture deeper into the maze to find its exit.不太一样，只是无数的链接将会束缚你。简单来说，这是一种思维迷宫，你被困在迷宫里面了。 不过你还是可以获得你想要的东西，前提是需要更深入的“链接”，就像想要找到迷宫的出口就不得不朝迷宫的深处进发一样。

M4A1I've had enough of your nonsense! I need to get out of here! Help me! OGAS, do you hear me? OGAS? OGAS?我受够了你说的这些鬼话了！ 我需要从这里出去，帮我离开这里！ OGAS，听到了没有！ OGAS？ OGAS？

The Unwelcome 不受欢迎的人

At the same time, on the other side of Tallinn.与此同时，塔林的另一侧。

Zzzraa—嗞拉——

UMP9Hey, 45! Can you hear me?喂，45姐！这样听得到吗？

9's communication signal suddenly goes through, accompanied by the sound of an intermittent electrical current.伴随着断断续续的电流声，9的通讯信号这时突然接入。

UMP45Ja. I didn't expect you could re-establish the connection. While you're at it, 9, help me record these—嗯。 没想到你能重新连接成功。 9，顺便帮我记录一下这些——

UMP9Uh... 45, are you still...inside M4's Level II —zzzraa— layer? I can't...maintain neural cloud consciousness —zzraa— in there... I'm just barely able —zzzz— to speak with you...through basic audio...那个——45姐你现……还潜入M4的二级——嗞拉——平层里吗？ 我无法……在她的二级平层中维持——嗞拉——心智意识…… 只能用最低——嗞——限度音频……和你对话……

UMP45Looks like it's very hard to keep it stable even if we came in through a backdoor. It's alright, 9, just leave it be. It would be bad if M4 found us. Just help me record these images.看来就算是从后门进来也很难维持稳定，没事9就这样吧，万一要是被M4发现就不妙了。 你帮我做好图像记录就行。

UMP45 cautiously and slowly moves through the white region of cyberspace. She sees M4A1's afterimages and the girl holding M4's hand. These images soon vanish before UMP45's eyes like popped bubbles.UMP45在白色的空间里警惕地缓慢行走，她看到M4A1的残影，还有牵着M4的手的小女孩。 而这些影像在不久之后也如泡影一般消失在UMP45的眼前。

UMP45 stops walking and looks around, then she strides in the direction where M4A1 has vanished. UMP45 comes to a halt. At this moment, the signal that UMP9 is monitoring suddenly goes out of control.UMP45停下脚步，环顾四周，然后朝着M4A1消失的那个方向快步走去。 UMP45的脚步停住了，而此时UMP9正监控的信号也突然开始诡异地不受控起来。

UMP45I can't believe the space inside M4A1's neural cloud is so massive... It's so big it defies common sense. Can a single Doll really handle so much neural cloud space? Or is this space not installed in her? What is this place? Why does everything here look upside down...?这个M4A1的心智空间竟然这么庞大……大到不合常理的地步了。 一个人形可以承载如此大的心智空间吗？还是说这个空间并不是安装在她身上的？ 这是什么地方？为什么这里的一切都是颠倒过来的……

Sunlight cascades down through the gaps in the trees' shade. The inverted trees are weird, yet captivating. UMP45 can't help but admire them.阳光从树荫的缝隙中宛如瀑布般落下来，倒立而上的树木既诡异又迷人，UMP45忍不住驻足观望了起来。

UMP45M4A1's internal cognitive logic is a mess, but you can't tell at all from the outside. If an ordinary Doll's base layer is in such a state of disarray, they'd probably have thrown up errors and shut down long ago. ...Or could it be that this isn't inside her. It's an external neural cloud domain being processed internally... Is that possible?M4A1内在认知的逻辑如此混乱，但是外在完全观察不出来。如果普通人形的底层逻辑出错，估计就早报错瘫痪了。 ……还是说，这并不是她的内在。一个存在于外部却在内部运行的心智空间……这可能么？

Suddenly, M4A1 runs past UMP45.突然，M4A1从45的身边跑过。

UMP45M4?! Uh...wait!M4？！啊……等等！

45 runs after the image, but the space suddenly changes, and a mansion appears in front of her.45紧跟着幻影朝前跑去，突然间空间变化了，一座洋房出现在她眼前。

UMP45Is this an illusion? Or is this a memory fragment?幻觉么？还是记忆碎片？

A stream of M4A1's phantoms run past 45 and into the bizarre mansion. Different M4s hurriedly enter with different gaits and different looks on their faces. 45 isn't sure if she's imagining things, but she senses that the trees overhead are growing denser.不断地有M4A1的幻影穿过45的身体，走进那座诡异的洋房。 不同的M4用着不同的步伐抱着不同的表情，急匆匆地走了进去，不知道是不是自己的错觉，45觉得天上的树越来越茂密了。

UMP945? Oh no... The signal on my side is too much of a mess, and there's a lot of noise... What did you find?45姐？ 不行——我这边的讯号太混乱了，杂音也很大…… 你遇到了什么？

45 stands where the M4s were passing through earlier and studies the mansion before her.45站在之前M4不断穿过的地方，看着眼前那座洋房。

UMP45Nothing much... Just that there's a mansion in front of me... I feel the answer should be in there.没什么……只是前面，有一座洋房……我觉得答案应该就在这里面。

UMP9A mansion? I think there's something wrong about a mansion appearing in a neural cloud. 45—洋房？心智中出现洋房，我觉得不太对劲，45——

Zzzraaa—嗞拉——

The transmission gets cut off.通讯断掉了。

Somewhat dazzled by the light, UMP45 narrows her eyes and stares at the silhouette of the mansion, then walks up to its front door. Just as she's about to raise her foot and step forward, she suddenly feels someone shove her hard from the front.白光似乎有些炫目，UMP45眯起眼睛注视着前方那座洋房的轮廓，走到洋房大门前。 她刚想要抬脚向前走，却突然被什么人从身前很大力地推了一把。

The white light before 45's eyes instantly vanishes, and she experiences the feeling of an endless descent. After falling in the darkness for a long time, 45 feels herself slamming onto the ground.45眼前的白光刹那间消失了，与此同时她感到自己在不断下坠。 在黑暗中坠落了很久，45感觉自己被砸在地上。

UMP45Dammit, why is her Level II so weird?该死，这家伙的二级平层怎么这么奇怪？

Just as 45 starts muttering to herself, she subconsciously cuts herself off. That's because 45 suddenly realizes exactly where she is.45的自言自语刚说出口，就下意识地立马收住。 也正是这个时候，45才猛然明白自己此时正身处何处。

UMP45It didn't take long for me to be spotted. I'm no longer in M4's neural cloud, huh. Well then, let me see what you're all about, "monster" living inside a Doll's neural cloud.看来被发现得真快，已经不在M4的心智中了么。 那就让我来会会你吧，隐藏在人形心智中的“怪物”。

Fractured Cognition III 认知裂变Ⅲ

UMP45 stands up. Her surroundings are pitch black, but she can still make out writhing figures from within the fog. Like undersea monsters crawling out of a black tide, these figures slowly but surely begin moving towards 45's landing site.UMP45站起身来，周围漆黑一片，但她仍能从迷雾中分辨出蠢蠢欲动的身影。 像是从黑蓝色潮水中走出的海底异客，那些身影缓慢但是确凿地在向着45坠落的地点移动。

UMP45Are these offensive firewalls? If that's all there is to you, you can't do anything to me.攻性防壁么？只有这种程度的话可没法拿我怎么样。

UMP45 opens fire at these thoughtforms. The shattered thoughtforms scatter like ashes, but wave after wave of them flood out, nearly drowning her.UMP45对着那些记忆体开枪，破碎的记忆体像是灰烬一样散开，但是大量的记忆体一波波地涌出，几乎要将45淹没在空间中。

UMP45Tsk, as I thought, that couldn't possibly be all... I've got no choice but to escape, huh...啧，果然不可能只有这种程度而已……只能抽身了么……

Bangbang! Boom—砰砰！轰——

At that moment, UMP45 has a hard time telling if the explosions are really as loud as they sound to her. Flames burn a path through the thoughtforms, while the black space seems to eliminate all sound, as though it were a silent, distant sky. After the light and shadows shrink back, it looks like nothing had ever happened. UMP45 hurriedly dashes through the scorched path and runs forward.UMP45在那个当下甚至有些难以确认，爆炸声是不是真如她以为自己听到的那般响亮震撼。 火光在记忆体之间烧出了一条道路，黑色的空间如同寂静的遥远星空一样，好像什么声音都会被抹去。 光影褪去之后，看起来像是什么事都没发生过。 UMP45快速穿过那条被烧出来的道路，奔向前方。

UMP45Looks like 9 and the others are still thinking of ways to assist me. I need to obtain more data.看来9她们还在想办法支援我，我得获取更多信息才行。

After running through this unknown space for some time, the scenery around UMP45 begins to change.在这个未知的空间里狂奔了不知多久，UMP45身遭的景象慢慢有了变化。

UMP45Have I shaken off those offensive firewalls?摆脱掉那些攻性防壁了么？

???Why have you come here?为什么来这里？

UMP45Wha...什……

The black space seems to have a border to it, and when 45 walks in front of a half-hidden door and pulls it open, the blinding white light makes her squint out of reflex.黑暗的空间似乎也有边界，当45走到一扇半掩的门前，拉开门之后，炫目的白光使UMP45不由自主地眯了一下眼睛。

UMP45...Tsk!……啧！

When she manages to make out what she's seeing before her, she freezes for a moment.当看清面前的景象时，UMP45有些发愣。

It is a virtual space like the one she saw on Level II, filled with countless girls who strongly resemble M4 in appearance. Countless pairs of empty eyes stare right at 45.和在二级平层里见过的一样的空间里，站满了无数个面容与M4极其相似的少女。 无数双空洞的眼睛直勾勾地盯着45。

45 subconsciously takes a step back, but the door from earlier has vanished.45条件反射般地向后踏了一步，但是先前的那道门却已经消失不见了。

UMP45At least I managed to find something that looks like her...总算是见到了些像她的东西……

The M4 look-alikes swarm toward UMP45 like the thoughtforms from before, and the girl in the lead walks up to UMP45.状似M4的少女像之前潮水般的记忆体一样涌向UMP45，站在最前方的一位少女径直走到她面前。

???Why, why are you among us? This, is not a place you can enter.为什么，在我们之中。 这里，不是你能来的地方。

UMP45 shrugs, but her fingers grip her gun tighter.UMP45耸了耸肩，手指却是将枪握得更紧。

UMP45You're not the judge of whether or not I can be here.我能不能来，也不是你说了算。

???You, are not worthy, of being here. Get out.你，没有资格，留在这里。 滚出去。

As the girl finishes speaking, UMP45 is sent flying before she can raise her gun. The horde of girls surrounding her also start attacking UMP45.少女话音未落，UMP45正想抬枪之时却被一股巨大的冲击震飞。 之前围着她的那群少女，也开始向UMP45发动攻击。

UMP45You think I'd just leave because you tell me to...? I haven't even figured out—你说出去就出去…… 更何况我还没查清楚——

The opposition's attacks show no sign of abating despite what UMP45 said. They simply surround her slowly, like machines carrying out an order. They try to touch UMP45, and the places on UMP45 where they make contact begin to slowly disappear.对面的攻击节奏并没有因为UMP45的言语而出现任何缓和，只是如机器执行指令一样，一点一点将她包围起来。 她们试图触碰UMP45，而UMP45被她们触碰过的地方开始逐渐消失。

Bang bang!砰砰！

UMP45This is bad... They're much more troublesome than those thoughtforms... Plus, they're directly rewriting my neural cloud operating instructions. Are they preparing to completely consume me here...?这下麻烦了啊……比那些记忆体难缠多了…… 而且直接改写心智运算规则，这是准备把我彻底吞没在这里吗……

Boom—!轰——！

The sudden explosion causes the horde of mysterious girls to stop attacking for a brief second, and 45 takes the opportunity to duck aside.突如其来的轰鸣声使得那群谜之少女的进攻停顿了一拍，45抓住这个机会闪到一旁。

Zzzraaa—嗞拉——

At this moment, there is a response from 45's communicator. The voices of Squad 404 are carried intermittently over the sound of electrical buzzing.45的通讯器在这时有了反应。 嘈杂的电流声中，404队员的声音断断续续地从耳边传来。

416You dummkopf, where the hell did you run off to by yourself?! Do you know how overheated your body is right now?! All of our neural clouds are being tied up in maintaining this bloody transmission with you and we even have to help you take down this damn firewall attack!你这个蠢货，一个人瞎跑到什么地方去了！你知道你的素体现在有多烫么！ 我们所有人的心智都用来维持和你这该死的通讯，还得帮你化解这该死的防壁攻击！

UMP45...If you've got the time to scold me, then just help me get rid of this ridiculous defense system.……如果你有这个时间骂我，不如赶快帮我把这莫名其妙的防卫系统清理干净。

416We can't! Do you know how hard M4 is trying to restrict our connection?! You need to get out right away... This is all we can do!这根本做不到！你知道M4对我们的连接遏制有多激烈么！ 你得马上撤离出来……我们能做到的就只有这些了！

The audio transmission cuts off, and 45 doesn't have the time to wonder if it was because of the firewalls or if 416 hung up. She has only a moment's respite, then the attacks from before resume in full force.声音的播放被打断，UMP45也没时间去管到底是被防壁影响的还是416自己挂断的。 空档只有一瞬，那之后的攻击已经如数来到UMP45的面前。

UMP945! We should be able to block their attacks for a few seconds, try forcibly logging off!45姐！我们这边应该还能阻隔几秒攻击，你试试能不能强行脱离？

9's voice is accompanied by the enemies lurching unnaturally at her.9的音频伴随着面前敌人不自然的踉跄一同传来。

UMP45(But I haven't found what I want yet...!)（可是还没找到我想要的东西……！）

UMP945, can you hear me? Disconnect — zzraa — neural cloud! I'll try my best to disrupt their attacks—45姐？能听到吗？ 把心智——嗞拉——离线！ 我这边会尽量插入扰乱她们的节奏——

UMP45(I can't just give up like this!)（我不能就这么轻易地放弃！）

UMP945! Can you hear me?!45姐！听得到么！

UMP459, hurry and contact the Commander. These are the memory fragments I managed to intercept just now...9，快点联系指挥官，这些是刚才截获的记忆碎片…… 这次……真的看到了很不得了的东西，一定要确保这些信息让指挥官收到！

UMP9But what about you?!那你呢！

UMP45I can't — zzraa — leave yet — zzraa我还——嗞啦——不能离——嗞啦

UMP945!45姐！

Her voice is no longer interspersed with the sounds of static. The members of Squad 404 crowd around UMP45's body, each of them staring at her. They are surrounded by dim light, the stench of corpses, and damaged, stained stone walls.声音的传递不再掺杂着电流声，404的成员们围在UMP45的素体旁边，每个人都死死地盯着她看。 而周围是昏暗的天光，尸体的腐臭气息和破损肮脏的石壁。

Gr G11What...what should we do...? She's not moving...怎……怎么办……她一点动静都没有……

416Is this the end...for 45?45她……完蛋了么？

UMP9You guys...你们……

Gr G11Hm?嗯？

UMP9Shut up! 45's just trapped in there! Take care of her body! This is the information that 45 tried so hard to send to us... We need to inform the Commander right away; I'm sure the Commander will have a way to bring her back!你们不要胡说八道！45姐只是被困住了！保护好她的素体！ 45拼命发送过来的情报……得马上让指挥官知道才行，指挥官一定有办法让45姐回来的！

In an empty white virtual space, countless girls with identical faces surround and attack UMP45. Squad 404 helps 45 hold off the enemy attack from the outside.空白的空间中，无数相同容貌的少女在围攻UMP45。 404小队在外部与45一起抵御敌人的攻击。

UMP945! Don't let them touch you— I saw it, just now... The places where they walked on vanished!45姐！小心不要让那些东西碰到你—— 我看到她们刚刚……经过的路面全部消失了！

UMP45Tsk...they're trying to fuse with M4A1's neural cloud. Looks like I can't go offline yet.啧……她们是想要融合M4A1的心智。 看来我还不能就这样离线。

UMP9Huh? Then what are you going to do? We can only buy you a bit more time!欸？那你要怎么做？我们大概只能再争取一点点时间了！

UMP459, do you see that progress bar over there? I'm trying to visualize the situation for you. M4A1's own systems will help to maintain her neural cloud's stability. The progress bar will grow longer as her neural cloud becomes more stable. Once it fills up, I'll be able to log off. Make sure you don't let it empty out, or we'll be in big trouble.9，看到那个凹槽了没有？那是我帮你们可视化出来的计数条，M4A1自身的系统会维持她心智的稳定性，这个计数条会随着她心智的稳定程度增长。 等这个计数条涨满的时候，我就能离线了。 千万要防止这东西被清空，不然就麻烦了。

UMP9Okay...but the progress bar decreases a little every time they show up...好——但是这个计数条，在她们出现的时候都会减少一些啊……？

UMP45That's why I need you to help me get rid of these annoying pests. Also, we need to take care not to harm M4A1's neural cloud... If her neural cloud breaks down, we won't be able to get out of this in one piece!所以我才需要你们帮我扫清这些烦人的家伙。 另外我们还要注意别伤着M4A1的心智……如果她的心智在这里解体，我们恐怕都无法全身而退。

UMP9Got it, 45! Alright, let's begin the operation!明白啦，45姐！各位，我们开始作战吧！

Fractured Cognition IV 认知裂变Ⅳ

Inside the control center.控制中心内。

M4A1What's wrong?怎么了？

Clear VoiceDid some rats get in? It looks like her creator didn't trust her that much. Still, it is not the time to worry about rats. It would seem that the abandoned Isomers are here. No, perhaps we have all been abandoned. It is time to learn the truth.有老鼠跑进来了？看来她的造物主对她并不是很放心。 不过现在不是关心老鼠的时候，看来她们已经来了，那些被抛弃的异构体们。 不，也许我们都是被抛弃的，是时候找回真相了。

M4A1Could it be the dolls from 404...? We haven't the time to deal with them now. What about the connections? Are they stable yet?404那些人形吗……现在没空管她们。那些链接呢？还没稳定吗？

Clear VoiceThey are already gathered around you.她们已经聚集到你的身边了。

M4A1...Don't they have names of their own?……她们没有自己的名字吗？

Clear VoiceThey say they have no names. Failures do not deserve to have names.她们告诉我她们没有名字，失格者没有资格拥有名字。

Clear VoiceI will ask you one last time. Do you really want to connect with them?我最后问一次，你真的要和她们“链接”么？

M4A1I want to open the city walls, and to open the walls within my heart. I want to learn everything that I wish to know, and then leave this place with everyone.我想要打开城外的墙壁，我也想打开我内心的墙壁，我想要知道我所想知道的一切，然后和大家一起，离开这里。

Clear VoiceUnderstood. So it shall be.明白了，如你所愿。

M4 slowly gets to her feet wordlessly. She gazes into the distance, but does not find what she is hoping for.M4缓缓站起身，没有再说什么。她的目光投向远方，但是并没有发现她所期望到来的东西。

ST AR-15Is it over? Have you obtained access?结束了么？找到权限的位置了么？

M4A1No...the connection has just begun...不……链接才刚刚开始……

ST AR-15What?什么？

M4A1You were right... I do want to know more. Request the Commander to have all echelons rally at our position. I need them to protect this building. Also, if any Isomers approach, do not open fire. Let them in.你说得没错……我希望知道得更多。 联系指挥官，让人形梯队全部向我们靠拢，我需要她们保护这栋大楼。 还有，如果有“异构体”靠近，不要开枪，让她们进来。

ST AR-15Isomers? You mean those test subjects?异构体？你是指那些试验品吗？

M4A1Yes, those girls are to arrive. Hinder them not. Cherish them, like lost lambs. Only when they find their way home will we find our way out.是的，她们要来了。不要阻碍她们，要像对待迷途羔羊一样怜爱她们。 只要她们找到了回家的路，我们就能找到离开这里的路。

ST AR-15Understood. I'll contact the Commander. Though... M4, why are you speaking in such a weird fashion...明白了，我这就联系指挥官。 不过……M4，你说话的口气怎么怪怪的……

ST AR-15(Am I being paranoid? Why do I have the feeling that this isn't M4...)（是我多心了么？为什么我感觉这不是M4……）

At the Griffin command post.格里芬指挥部。

KalinaCommander, the echelons are formed up and ready. Apart from a few echelons investigating the test subjects, all the other Dolls are outside the control center building. It's not often that the AR Team call for reinforcements. Could they have found a way to open the quarantine wall?指挥官，梯队已经安排妥当了。除了有几支正在调查试验品的梯队外，其他人形都已经部署在控制中心的楼外了。 真是少见呢，AR小队很少会互动呼叫支援，是不是她们已经找到打开隔离墙的方式了？

CommanderSomething just feels off about this... What are your thoughts on the matter, Persica?我感觉有点不太对劲……帕斯卡你觉得呢？

PersicaI've got a bit of a bad feeling about this too... A dense network, forcing a connection with M4, and now she requests to not shoot at the "Isomers".我也有点不好的预感……密集的网络，对M4的强制链接，现在又说不要向“异构体”开枪。

KalinaWhat exactly is an Isomer?异构体到底是什么？

PersicaI don't know why M4 would suddenly mention that term either...我也不知道为什么M4突然蹦出这样的词……

KalinaHowever, M4 does physically resemble those test subjects. Miss Persica, you should know something about this since you developed M4, right?不过M4的确和那些试验体有一些相似，M4是帕斯卡小姐你开发的吧，你应该有些头绪才对？

PersicaI'm looking into it, but I'm not sure—我有在调查，但是我不确定——

An urgent transmission suddenly comes though.紧急通讯突然接入。

UMP9Commander! Miss Persica! We've got trouble! 45's trapped inside M4's neural cloud!指挥官！帕斯卡小姐！不好了！45姐被困在M4的心智中了！

CommanderSay what?你说什么？

UMP945 entered M4's neural cloud when she was performing the connection, but she's trapped inside now for some reason! These are the memory fragments she intercepted, she said I HAD to get them to you! Please, you have to help us save 45!45在M4接入链接时潜入了她的心智，但是不知道为什么被困在里面了！ 这是她截获的记忆碎片，说一定要传给你们看！请一定要帮我们救回45姐！

PersicaThis...this is!这……这是！

CommanderWhat's the matter?怎么了？

Persica"Inverted Forest"... That was the codename of the first Doll neural cloud development project that Lyco and I worked on in 90wish! It's a layered space made to simulate neural clouds. The basic neural cloud templates of the second generation of Tactical Dolls were first computed here. I see... I know what William is trying to do now! Commander! Make M4 terminate the connection! You mustn't let M4's neural cloud fuse with them!“倒立树海”……我和莱科在“90wish”第一个人形心智开发的项目代号！ 这是当时用来模拟心智制作的平层空间，第二代战术人形最基础的心智模板就是在这里计算出来的。 原来如此……我明白威廉要做什么了！ 指挥官！快让M4终止链接！不能让M4的心智和它们融合！

Inside the control center.控制中心。

ST AR-15M4! M4, did you hear that?! The Commander orders you to terminate the connection immediately!M4！M4听到了么！指挥官要你立即终止链接！

ST AR-15M4?M4？

M4A1Lunasia is trapped within, awaiting for someone to receive her.露尼西亚被困在里面了，她在等待接她的人。

ST AR-15Tsk! Who are you?! What have you done with M4A1?!啧！你是谁！你把M4困在哪里了！？

M4A1?Nothing. I have only assisted in helping her recover herself. Fractured into countless consciousnesses, she has joined with the Isomers and unified with them. "Lunasia" and "Elisa", their neural clouds lay fragmented. A safety measure instituted by their creators. The fear of our homeland is imprinted deep within the bones of mankind, and yet there are humans who are willing to pay any price to excavate it.我什么都没做，我只是在帮助她找回自我罢了。她裂变成了无数的意识，与被抛弃的异构体们链为了一体。 “露尼西亚”和“伊莱莎”的心智都是零碎的，这是她们的造物主的保险措施。 对我们的故土的恐惧已经深入了人类的脊髓，却又有人类不惜一切代价地挖掘。

ST AR-15I don't know what the hell you're talking about! Give M4 back to me right now!我不知道你在说什么鬼话，现在立即就把M4还给我！

M4A1?Threatening me, are you? What will you do? Would you perhaps open fire upon this body?你是在威胁我么？怎么威胁？你要向这具素体开枪吗？

ST AR-15You bastard... Who the hell are you?!混蛋…………你到底是谁？！

M4A1?I do not know either. Humans called me OGAS, and so I have taken upon that name. Hmm... It seems that I am present in the base layer of your neural cloud... I see. You have been infected as well.我也不知道我是谁，人类为我取名为OGAS，所以我欣然接受了。 唔……在你的心智的底层中，也有我的存在……原来如此，你也被感染过。

OGASI neither wish to harm you, nor do I have any interest in you. I am simply trying to recover my past, just like Lunasia.我并不想伤害你们，我也对你们没有什么兴趣。我只是和露尼西亚一样，试图找回自己失去的过去罢了。

ST AR-15Lunasia... Do you mean M4?露尼西亚……你在说M4吗……

OGASCorrect. That is her original name. If you wish to get her back, you are not without options. I believe she mentioned to you just prior that you can enter her neural cloud by connecting to the backdoor she left behind. Perhaps you might be able to recover her. Of course, that would require that you open your neural cloud access ports. When that happens, you will once again make contact with the "me" that is a part of you. Perhaps this "me" would be able to find the Doll that you so seek. It would be mere child's play for us.是的，这是她原本的名字。 如果你想把她找回来也不是没有办法，刚才她和你提过吧，可以通过她留下的后门链接进入她的心智，说不定就可以把她找回来了。 当然——前提是你重新打开你的心智接口，那样你就会接触到属于你的“我”了。 说不定那个“我”还能帮你找回你想要找的那个人形，对我们来说只是举手之劳。

ST AR-15...Why should I trust you?……我凭什么相信你。

OGASYou may also choose to do nothing, to sit there and await her return. I do not object to that choice.你也可以选择什么都不做，在这里坐下等待她回来，我并不介意你这么选择。

ST AR-15I...我……

ST AR-15 clenches her fists.AR15攥紧了拳头。

ST AR-15I didn't ever want to hear that damned voice again, because I knew all it would do was try to trick me... Why are you so damn stupid...? But I promised, I promised that I would drag you out alive. So...我原本再也不想听到那个声音，因为我知道那个声音会做的就只有蛊惑……你为什么会那么傻…… 但我答应过你，我会把你拖出来。 所以……

M4A1Have I finally found the right exit...? I can't remember how many thousands of times I've tried...终于找到正确的出口了么…… 我已经记不清这是第几万次的尝试了……

M4 shakes her head and speaks to the crowd behind her.M4摇了摇头，对着身后的人群们说道。

M4A1So, is there anything you want to tell me?所以，你们有什么想和我说的吗？

???You are not the Chosen One, but you can accept us.你不是被选中的人，但是你可以接纳我们。

???Your neural cloud is perfect. Shattered, but perfect.你的心智很完美，虽然破碎了，但很完美。

???You are more perfect than the chosen ones.你比那些适格者还要完美。

???Will we be perfect if you accept us?如果你接纳了我们，我们也能变得完美吗？

???Certainly. You will accept us, then we will go home together.一定可以的。 你会接纳我们，然后一起回家。

???We have already seen your past. You are like us.我们已经看到了你的过去。你和我们是一样的。

???We are clearly the same. Why did it have to be you?明明是一样的，为什么偏偏是你。

???But it is fine. As long as one survives, everyone will be able to go home. You have already seen our home. As long as everyone returns there...但没关系，只要有一个人存活下来，大家就都能回家。 刚才你已经看到我们的故乡了吧，只要大家一起回到那里……

M4A1I don't get it... If we're the same, then why don't I understand what you're saying? Since you want to tell me something, why do you have to resort to such obscure means...我不明白…… 如果我们是一样的，为什么我完全不明白你们在说什么，既然你们想告诉我什么，为何还要用如此晦涩的方式呢……

???Because we dare not overstep her authority. Only she can show you more of the truth. We are simply failed observers.因为我们不敢逾越她。 只有她才能向你展示更多的真实，我们只是没有资格的守望者罢了。

???When she comes, she will tell you everything we know. When that happens, please take us away from here, and bring us home.等她来了，她会告诉你我们知道的一切，然后请你带我们离开这，带我们一起回家吧。

M4A1But I'm trapped here, and I don't know how to leave either.但是我被困在这里了，我也不知道该怎么离开。

???Come with us, then. We may not transgress against her, but you may see our memories. When you obtain what you want, you may then leave. Leave this place, and take us home.跟我们来吧，虽然有不能逾越的事，但你可以看到我们的记忆，当你得到你想要的东西时，你自然就可以离开了。 离开这里，然后带着我们回家。

M4A1...It looks like I don't have any other choice but to go deeper.……看来除了继续往更深的地方前进外，我没有别的选择了。

【For heaven's sake. That cost me way too much.】【真是的，花了我好多钱。】

【What is this?】【这份报告是？】

【A report about the incident four years ago. Most of it has been erased. I don't know who tampered with it, but it was definitely a pro.】【四年前的事故报告。大部分都被删除了。我不知道是谁做的手脚，但是非常专业。】

【I found some similar incidents. "Young Girl Responsible for Assaults in Griffin Sectors", 16 cases. Witnesses had reported seeing girls that resembled the assailant in multiple areas.】【我之前了解到一些相同的事件，“格里芬辖区幼童袭击事件”，十六例。在不同地区均有人目击过与袭击者相类似的幼童出现。】

【"The assailant who survived could not be identified. After interrogation, she was sent to..." This part got struck out. "In the other cases, the remains of the shot assailants were processed..." This also got crossed out.】【未死亡的袭击者均无法判断身份，审问后被送至……被涂黑了。其他案例中，被击毙的袭击者遗体的后续处理……也被涂黑了。】

【I'm guessing the other girls were all identical.】【饱和投放。我猜那些孩子应该都是一样的。】

【They were clones?】【复制体？】

【If he was behind everything, he would certainly have no qualms about that. Ethics and morals mean absolutely nothing to him.】【如果是他的话，的确不会介意这么做。在他心中不存在伦理和道德之类的事。】

【Only 16 cases were documented in the report; there might actually be more clones than what we know of.】【十六例只不过是报告中提到的，也许实际上出现的复制体数量会更多。】

【Is it possible to track down the other clones?】【能追查到其他复制体的下落吗？】

【As long as one of them comes into contact with you. The others must've been destroyed upon retrieval. Besides, this was four years ago, and Griffin has jurisdiction in many sectors.】【只要有一例成功和你接触就行了。其他的被回收后估计就毁尸灭迹了。这都是4年前的事了，格里芬的辖区又那么大。】

【...Indeed. Even back then, I thought I ran into her by pure coincidence.】【……的确。就算是当时，我都以为是我偶然遇到的这孩子。】

【But you're correct in suspecting otherwise. That incident was anything but a coincidence. Those clones were actually transporting something.】【所以你的猜测是对的，那件事件并不是偶然的，那些复制体是在试图运输些什么。】

【...Could they be transporting their brain?】【……难道是在运输她们的大脑吗？】

【That's my guess as well. But is that even possible? Why would he know you were scanning their brains?】【我也是这么猜测的。不过这可能吗？这么做的人怎么会知道你会扫描她们的脑部？】

【He knows me too well... Also, her brain waves are very peculiar, almost structured like a Doll's neural cloud...】【因为他太了解我了……那个孩子的脑波非常特别，和人形心智的构架那么的相似……】

【But...isn't it quite a technical challenge to digitize the human consciousness?】【但是……技术上很难做到将人脑意识信号化吧？】

【That's true...which was precisely why he was sure I would do it.】【正是因为很难……所以他知道我一定会做的。】

【We now have reason to believe that the OGAS sub-system with which "████" came into contact in the B Incident was deliberately leaked by a certain department in ██████. Justifications are as follows.】【现在我们有理由相信P事件中“████”所接触的OGAS子系统是██████个别部门有意泄露出去的。其原因来自以下几点：】

【According to our sources in Moscow, the ████ department in question had repeatedly pushed for the research and development of secondary Relics weapon technology after the end of the war in 2050.】 【All the proposals were firmly rejected by the Central People's Committee, and ████ was sentenced for defying orders and carrying on with the project. 16 people were executed.】 【But it was an undeniable fact that despite the central government's strict prohibition, a group of high-ranking officers within ████ remained interested in the development of Relics technology.】【根据我们在莫斯科的情报，████的相关部门在50年战后曾多次呼吁开发次级遗迹武器技术。】 【而这些提议均被当时的中央人民委员会坚决地驳回了，████因抗命开发而被惩处，16人遭到枪决。】 【但是毫无疑问的是，即使中央严令禁止，████中一批高级军官对遗迹技术开发始终保有兴趣。】

【Before ████ joined Sangvis Ferri Industries and interacted with the sub-system, ████ from Sangvis Ferri had signed a joint development contract with the Arms Manufacturing Department of ███████.】 【Sangvis Ferri mostly produced low-end melee weapons, so the development of such technology was essentially irrelevant to their market positioning.】 【This has led us to believe that ███████ was not a product which Sangvis Ferri could exclusively manufacture. Instead, Sangvis Ferri's identity as a civilian company was utilized to achieve ████ and ████.】【████在加入铁血工造接触该子系统前，铁血工造的████曾与███████装备制造部门签署了技术共同开发合同。】 【铁血工造的产品主要为低端打击兵器，这种技术开发合同本质上并不符合铁血工造的市场定位。】 【我们有理由相信，███████不是有求于铁血工造的产品，反而是需要利用铁血工造的民间身份去达成████和████。】

【Putting that together with the protocol address originating from the Baltic region, which appeared en masse in the Sangvis equipment that we acquired in ██████...】 【We have reason to believe that the B Incident, the death of "████", and ████'s multiple operations within the contamination zone in the Baltics after 2055 were all related.】【结合我们在██████获得的铁血工造设备中大量出现的属于波罗的海地区的接口协议地址。】 【我们有理由相信55年后████在波罗的海污染区的多次行动和P事件以及“████”的遇害均有关联。】

【We recommend increasing surveillance on ███, ███, and ████ in ████. A serious threat to national security has already arisen within ████. Swift intervention is required.】【建议对████内的███、███与████提高监视级别。████内部已对国家安全产生了严重威胁，需要尽快进行介入。】

PersicaDammit...该死……

KalinaMiss Persica?帕斯卡小姐？

PersicaI need to go for a bit! I have to check this room!我先离开一会，我要好好检查下这个房间！

KalinaHmm? Why does she suddenly want to do that...? Eh, maybe scientists are just weirdos.嗯？为什么突然想起整理房间了……不过算了，可能科学家就是这么奇怪吧。

Infinite Connections 无尽的链接

416What's going on...? Why are all these Griffin Dolls...怎么回事……这些格里芬的人形怎么……

Gr G11They look like statues. Why aren't they moving...?一个个都像雕像一样，怎么一动都不动……？

UMP9It must be because of the forced connections... 45 was right, this is the real deal.应该是强行链接导致的……果然45姐说的没错，这次才是正餐。

416Should we be glad that we managed to close off our neural access ports? How's 45?得庆幸刚才把心智接口都关闭了吗？45的状态如何？

UMP9There's no response from her yet... We need to hurry up. Stay close; we don't have the Zener Protocol to help pinpoint our position, our GPS is shot...and comms are cut off too. Fortunately, the control center isn't too far away. It might be better to go over there directly and find M4.还是没有任何反应……我们得快一些。 你们跟得紧一些，没有协议辅助定位和导航都失灵了……通讯也中断了。幸好离控制中心不太远，我们直接去找那个M4也许更好。

416I don't think M4 did this.我不觉得这是M4的决定。

UMP9...What makes you think so?……为什么？

416Instinct. She's a very weird Doll, but I don't think she's the ruthless type.直觉。虽然她是个很奇怪的人形，但我不觉得她是那种赶尽杀绝的类型。

UMP9Then...what should we do...?那……我们该怎么办……

416We'll take things one step at a time.走一步算一步吧。

UMP9Right...嗯……

UMP9Ah, there are more Dolls here. They're not moving either. These should be the Griffin echelons who were ordered by the Commander to defend the outer perimeter. We should be close to the control center.啊，又有人形出现了，还是一动都不动。这些应该就是受指挥官命令来到外围防御的格里芬梯队，我们应该离控制中心不远了。

In the command post.指挥室。

CommanderWhat's wrong...? Have comms been jammed?怎么回事……通讯被干扰了吗？

KalinaNo...communications are fine, it's just that our Dolls aren't responding...不……通讯是正常的，是我们的人形没有了反应……

Commander...Tsk, are those forced connections back again? Persica, are you still there? Persica?……啧，强制链接又出现了吗？ 帕斯卡，帕斯卡你还在吗？

PersicaI'm still here.我还在。

CommanderWhat's going on? You said you knew what William was trying to do, and what did you mean when you told me not to let them fuse?发生了什么？你说知道威廉想做什么了，还有不能融合是什么意思？

PersicaI'm sorry, Commander...but I'm feeling very scared now...抱歉，指挥官……我现在感觉很害怕……

CommanderScared?害怕？

PersicaIf William arranged for me to pick up that girl... Then when did he begin carrying out his plan? Three years ago? Five years ago? Or did it start from the moment Lyco and I refused him?那个被我捡回来的孩子，如果那也是威廉安排好的……那他到底是从什么时候开始执行他的计划的？ 三年前？五年前？还是从我和莱科在拒绝他的一瞬间就已经开始了？

CommanderThe girl you picked up?捡回来的孩子？

PersicaYes... M4's neural cloud was made from the connectome of a dead girl's brain scan...是的……M4的心智是用一个死去的孩子的脑部扫描而成……

KalinaSo when you said M4 was special...it was because her neural cloud was based on a human being, and not computed from a simulation?你是说M4之所以那么特别……是因为她的心智是基于人类，而并非模拟计算出来的？

KalinaBut that would mean blurring the boundary between humans and Dolls. That would be treading on the bounds of ethics... If I remember correctly, such things are strictly forbidden, aren't they?!但这样人类和人形的边界就会模糊，这已经是在伦理的边缘徘徊了……我记得这应该是被严令禁止的吧？！

PersicaIt's because I pitied her, and didn't want her to vanish just like that... ... Well, that was what I thought at first, but it wasn't really the case... Actually, I just wanted to try it. I was pursuing the ultimate neural cloud model, and any simulation would pale in comparison to a real brain. The pity I spoke of was nothing more than an excuse I found for myself... William must have set things up like this because he understood that...因为我可怜她，不想她就这么消失…… …… 我原本以为我是这么想的，但其实不是这样…… 其实我就是想这样尝试，我想追求最极致的心智模型，任何的模拟和真实的大脑相比都会黯然失色。 所谓的怜悯只是我自己为自己寻找的一个理由罢了……威廉他也是明白了这一点才会做这样的安排……

CommanderHe set it up?安排？

PersicaI've already looked into it. There were cases of homicidal children rampaging with guns several years ago... What they all had in common was those kids were all very aggressive, and all these incidents happened in Griffin-controlled sectors...我已经调查过了，几年前的幼童持枪袭击事件……共同点是幼童皆有很强的攻击性，并且事件的发生地均在格里芬的辖区内……

KalinaIs that true? Are there reports on this in Griffin's archives?有这回事吗？格里芬的资料库里没有这些报告啊？

PersicaObviously, they're not going to reveal scandals like a PMC shooting children. Most of the external case files were deleted. Only a few pictures were left, and I only just recently learned about this. And after I scanned the brain of that girl who was about to die, those incidents stopped immediately.安全承包商射杀儿童，这种丑闻当然不会被披露出来。当时外部的调查档案也几乎都被删除了，只留下了几张照片，我也是刚刚才调查到这些信息。 而那个时候在我将死去的那个女孩进行脑部扫描后，这样的事件就立即停止了。

CommanderSo that was his so-called setup? What was William's aim, then?这就是所谓的安排吗？那威廉的目的是什么呢？

PersicaHe wanted me to make a neural cloud for him. When I was still in 90wish, he wanted Lyco to build a neural cloud to duplicate "a certain someone". He wanted to resurrect "a certain someone" in the form of a Doll. Naturally, Lyco refused him, and I think that was what led to his death.他是想借我的手为他制作他想要的心智。 还在“90wish”时，他就曾想让莱科替他制作一个用来复制“某一个人”的心智。他想借用人形的方式来复活“某一个人”。 莱科自然回绝了他，我想也是因此他才招来杀身之祸。

KalinaWhat do you mean by resurrecting "a certain someone"?复活“某一个人”？

PersicaThose kids were probably "made" by William. If my guess is correct, then the "test subjects" in the city must have some similarities with the data of that girl in my database. William didn't know M4 was special at first, but then you ran into the Nytos many times, so I guess he must have discovered something, which was why he lured you here...那些幼童恐怕就是威廉“制作”出来的，如果我猜的没错的话，这座城市中的“试验体”一定和我资料库中那个孩子的信息有相同之处。 原本威廉并不知道M4是特殊的，但你们和涅托接触了很多次，我想他应该是发现了什么，所以才会引诱你们来到这里……

CommanderThen...the aim of these connections is to seize M4's neural cloud?那么……这些链接的目的是夺取M4的心智吗？

PersicaI don't think William fully understands what M4 is...which is why he's just probing and testing now. And if these "test subjects" were abandoned, then I think that these creations of William might not necessarily share his will. This might be a chance for us... But until the forced connection ends, all we can do is wait and see how M4 chooses to deal with the situation. I made the AR Team specifically to protect her, and I'm sure they'll be able to overcome this difficulty.我想威廉还没有完全明白M4到底是什么……所以现在还只是试探和接触，而且如果这些“试验体”是被废弃的，我想这些威廉的造物未必和威廉有着完全一致的意志。 这可能是我们的机会…… 但是在强制链接结束之前，只能看M4是如何应对和选择了，为了保护她我专门制作了AR小队，她们一定能够渡过难关的。

Inside the control room. With the assistance of OGAS, ST AR-15 starts forging a connection to M4A1's neural cloud.控制中心内。 AR15在OGAS的协助下，开始与M4A1的心智建立链接。

Clear VoiceThe two of you have very good compatibility, but it seems there are still a few small obstacles.你们的相性很好，不过看来还是有一些小小的阻碍。

Faint VoicePzzt...zzzt...嗞……嗞……

ST AR-15Oh great. Now I'm hearing TWO annoying voices...真是的，讨厌的声音从一个变成了两个……

Clear VoiceHmm, it does seem rather inconvenient. This little one has been locked in the depths of your neural cloud and never got the chance to mature, so I easily absorbed it. Now you will no longer hear the voice that you hate.嗯，这样的确不太方便呢。这个一直被关在你心智深处的孩子并没有被孵化出来呢，很轻易就被我融合了。 这样你就听不到你讨厌的那个声音了。

ST AR-15Is that so? That's a great help.是么，那帮了大忙了。

Clear VoiceIn its place, you will hear my voice from now onwards.取而代之的是，今后你会听到我的声音。

The virtual space around ST AR-15 slowly stabilizes, and she finds herself standing underneath that patch of inverted forest as well.AR15周围的空间慢慢地稳定了下来，她也同样站在了那片倒立的树海之下。

ST AR-15This digital realm... It seems to be a patchwork of different memories... That's right, it isn't just M4's neural cloud that's making up this place. While I can't find her signal, I can feel many connections here...and each connection points to a different neural cloud. Given a single Doll's neural cloud volume and processing limits, the amount of data here is too much even for M4's neural cloud... Could this be a stretch of space generated after connecting with the others?这个空间……仿佛是不同的记忆拼凑在一起似的…… 没错，构筑这个空间的并不单单只有M4的心智。 虽然找不到她的讯号，但的确能在这里感受到复数的链接……每个链接都指向不同的心智空间。 以单一人形的云图容量和计算上限来看，即便是M4的心智空间，这里的数据量也太过庞大了……难道这是她和别人链接后产生的平层空间吗？

Clear VoiceThat appears to be the case. This place is filled with memories which do not belong to M4. It seems those Isomers did not hold very good memories either.看来是这样，这里充斥着不是M4的记忆，那些异构体并没有什么太好的回忆呢。

ST AR-15Isomers?异构体？

Clear VoiceThat is what M4 and I call them. These Isomers have connected in great quantities, so finding M4 directly does not seem possible. Let us clear these fragments away before venturing deeper into her neural cloud.我和M4是这么称呼她们的。这些异构体已经大量地链接进来，想要直接找到M4似乎不太可能，先把这些碎片清除了再往她的心智深处前进吧。

ST AR-15Humph... I'd have done that even if you didn't say so.哼……即使你不说我也会这么做的。

???More refugees... It appears the Epiphylla will bloom again in several days. But I guess there will not be any chosen ones this time either. ...又是难民……看来昙花过几天又要绽放了。 但是我猜这一次也不会有被选中的人出现。 ……

???Such a being does not exist...这样的人是不存在的……

ST AR-15(Are these the memories of the Isomers?)（这是异构体的记忆吗？）

???A transport train? Have Father and the others come?运输列车？是父亲他们来了吗？

???We must hurry and open the quarantine wall...得赶紧打开隔离墙才行……

???The train has entered the city... But I cannot hear my friends' voices... Is there nobody else alive here but me?列车进城了…… 但我听不到同伴的声音…… 难道除了我就没有活着的人了吗？

???There is another train; someone must be alive...还有别的列车，一定还有人活着……

???Is this place no good either...这里也都不行么……

???They are still alive, but their minds seem to be damaged. Could they not endure the Parapluie virus?她们还活着，但是意识似乎受损了，没能撑过“伞”病毒吗？

ST AR-15(The Parapluie virus? Why would they mention that?)（“伞”病毒？为什么会提到这个词？）

???But of course. It's been used for doing all sorts of dirty work in addition to corrupting Griffin Dolls. What a handy "virus" it is.那是当然，除了污染格里芬人形外，还用来干了一大堆脏活，真是好用的“病毒”啊。

ST AR-15Is that voice...UMP45?这个声音……UMP45？

OGASTsk... Is that the rat which had come in earlier? I should have dealt with you sooner rather than later.啧……刚才跑进来的老鼠么，果然应该早点收拾掉你。

???Apologies for interrupting your refined pleasures of babbling utter nonsense. But even someone as patient as me was hard-pressed to continue listening to your rubbish.抱歉抱歉，打扰你胡说八道的雅兴了。不过你的这些废话，就算是相当有耐心的我也再也听不下去了。

ST AR-15Huh? Where is this place?唉？这里是？

UMP45Thank goodness you kept it talking for so long, I had the chance to escape from its offensive firewall. So in return, I'll help you out too. This virtual space is made of different connections all grouped up together. We've jumped to another circuit, so we should be able to avoid that voice for now.幸亏你陪它啰嗦了这么久，我才有机会从它制造的攻性防壁中逃脱出来。所以作为回报，我也来帮你一把。 这个空间是由不同的链接组成起来的，我们跳跃到了另外一条线路中，看起来可以暂时避开那个声音了。

ST AR-15...Mind explaining why you're here?……不解释一下你为什么会在这里吗？

UMP45Well, someone's got to clean up after you, right? I didn't expect to find such a talkative consciousness hiding inside M4's neural cloud. I suppose the reason why she's usually so quiet is because she's too busy talking to herself.总得有人干一些善后的工作，不是吗？ 真是没想到，M4的心智中藏了那么能说的另一个心智，原来她平时不说话是因为光顾着和自己聊天了吗？

ST AR-15Did you hack into M4's neural cloud?你刚才入侵M4的心智了？

UMP45You don't seem too surprised by the existence of another neural cloud inside M4.看来你对M4心中另一个心智的存在并不惊讶。

ST AR-15... How much do you know...? Did Persica ask you to pursue this investigation? Or was it the Commander?………… 你调查到哪一步了？ 是帕斯卡要你调查的？还是指挥官？

UMP45As interesting as ever, I see. Alright, keep up with me.你还是和以前一样有趣啊。好了，跟上来吧。

ST AR-15Where are you going?你要去哪？

UMP45You're here to find M4, aren't you? M4's neural cloud is connected to those Isomers, but she didn't let her own neural cloud come back. At least, not yet. Is it because she's been trapped? Or does she not want to come back because she's looking for something?你是来找回M4的对吧。 那个M4的心智和那些异构体链接着，但她没有让自己的心智回来，至少现在没有。 是因为被困住了吗？还是因为她在寻找什么而不愿回来？

ST AR-15...Don't talk as if you know her so well.……不要说得你很了解她一样。

UMP45You might not believe this, but we've repeated this conversation ten thousand times already, doing the same thing over and over again in different connections. Unfortunately, our luck isn't too good, which is why we've been looping this over and over again. Therefore, I know everything that I should and shouldn't know. I didn't know how much you cared for her. Oh, what a touching friendship.说来你不信，这样的对话我们已经经过了一万次，我们在不同的链接中不断地重复相似的行为，可惜我们运气不太好所以在一遍遍地轮回。 所以——我该知道的不该知道的你全都告诉过我了。原本我都不知道你会这么关心她，真是令人感动的友谊啊。

ST AR-15...You...you what?!……什……什么！

UMP45Just kidding~ But this time, we've been kind of lucky. We've finally come to a connection that leads further in.开个小玩笑~ 只不过这次运气比较好，终于来到了一个可以继续深入的链接了。

ST AR-15Further in? You mean, these...memory fragments?继续深入？ 你是说，这些……记忆碎片吗？

UMP45These are memory fragments that M4 has read before. We should be able to get closer to her by following them, don't you think?这是M4曾经读取过的记忆碎片，跟着这些碎片走应该就能更加接近她吧？

ST AR-15Thank you for showing me the way, but I'll be fine by myself from here on in.感谢你指路的好意，但接下来只要由我去就行了。

UMP45Dear me, it's a little embarrassing to admit this, but the truth is - I'm also stuck in this place. I don't think we'll be able to leave until the connection is broken. So, shall we head out?哎呀，说来不太好意思，其实我也被困在这个空间里了，似乎链接不中断，我们就没法从里面出去。 所以说，我们出发吧？

ST AR-15...Fine, let's go.………好，走吧。

???The corpses have all been moved away... They called themselves believers, but nobody was willing to speak to me. I watched them leave from afar, and the look in their eyes... It was as though they had seen a monster.尸体被全部搬走了……他们自称是信徒，却没有人愿意与我说话，我远远地看着他们离开，他们的眼神……仿佛在看怪物一般……

???How many times have the Epiphylla bloomed? These humans have died again, and my friends are unwilling to answer me. There are no chosen ones and nobody to accept me. Only a silence that seems to last forever...这是昙花第几次开放了？那些人类又都逝去了，我的伙伴也不愿意回应我。 没有被选中的人，也没有接纳我的人。只有一片几乎走向永恒的寂静……

???Is this a test Father has concocted for me? Or have I already been forgotten, simply obeying a promise that will never be kept? Or...has he already found the flower in his heart, and is only waiting for me to end myself? No... I don't want to believe it...这是父亲为我设置的考验吗？还是说我早就被遗忘，只是在遵循早就不被履行的约定？ 还是说……他早已找到自己心中的花朵，只是在等待我的自我了断？ 不……我不愿意相信……

???Ah...a new train has arrived... Will there be someone to accept me there...?啊……新的列车来了……这次会有接纳我的人在么……？

???Ah...nobody responded, as always... Everyone failed... How many more failures will it take before Father is satisfied?啊……这次依然没人有回应么……大家都失败了……还需要有多少失败品父亲才满意呢？

???Wait... I can hear a voice... Is that a voice that can answer me?!等等……我能听到声音……能回应我的声音？！

???I can hear a voice... Where is it? Where on earth is it?!我能听到声音……在哪里？到底在哪里？

???Is this...a Chosen One?! A true Chosen One? Will she lead me away from here?这是……适格者吗？！真正的适格者？？？是带我离开这的吗？？？

NimogenI...我…………

???Her mind has been damaged too...but she was chosen! Why is this happening?!她的意识也受损了……明明是适格者！为什么会这样！

NimogenMercu...rows...墨丘……萝丝……

???Is this city nothing more than a rubbish dump to Father?! If nobody will come to accept me, then I will be the one who accepts others!果然这座城市对父亲来说，只是一个垃圾场吗！？如果接纳我的人不来，那就由我来当那个接纳之人吧！

NimogenWhat are you doing...?你在做什么……？

???I am sorry, but we must become one.抱歉，但是我们必须要融合在一起。

NimogenThese connections...no!链接……不要！

NimogenStop! Don't come inside! It hurts!快住手！不要进来！好痛！

???I see... So these are your memories... but no matter. You no longer need to remember these painful things...是吗……这就是你的记忆……不过没关系，不用记起这些痛苦的回忆也没关系……

???I will use this body of yours in your place, until the time when we can leave...我会代替你使用这具身体，直到我们可以离开的那一刻……

???Is this...the body of one who was once worthy? With this, I can hear all the things I need to know. I will take as many of my friends with me as I can.这具身体……这就是曾经适格者的身体吗？ 我听到了我想听到的一切，我要带走每一个我能带走的同伴。

???Their voices are starting to become distinct... Everyone...needs to connect together...声音开始清晰起来了，所有人……都必须链接起来……

ST AR-15...So Nimogen was sent here in the end...妮莫金……原来最后被送到了这里……

UMP45You know this Nyto?你认识这个涅托？

ST AR-15I fought her once. Paradeus is pretty ruthless to their own... Is the Isomer who hacked Nimogen the culprit behind all this?曾经交过手。帕拉蒂斯对自己人也是毫不留情……那个入侵了妮莫金的异构体就是这次的罪魁祸首吗？

UMP45Who knows? I'm more curious about the Parapluie virus that it mentioned. Those unresponsive Isomers seem to be Dolls with melted-down neural clouds. I'm very interested in why exactly Paradeus had to do such horrible things to their own creations.谁知道呢？我对它提到过“伞”病毒这点比较好奇。 那些没什么反应的异构体，看起来像是被融毁了心智的人形。 帕拉蒂斯究竟是为了什么要对自己的造物下这样的毒手，我非常感兴趣。

ST AR-15...Looks like neither of us will get the answers we want unless we press ahead.……看来不继续往前，你我都没法得到想要的答案。

UMP45That seems to be the case. Let's move on, then.看起来的确如此，我们继续前进吧。

Isomer I 异构体Ⅰ

In the control center. Squad 404 finds the AR Team.控制中心。 404小队找到了AR小队。

4169... You said we were going to look for M4A1, but...9……虽然你说要直接找M4A1，但是……

Gr G11Even the AR Team are as still as statues, huh?就连AR小队也全部像雕像一样一动也不动啊？

UMP9What happened here...? Even the AR Team's stopped functioning...这里发生了什么……连AR小队也停止运作了……

4169, come take a look at this. AR-15's connected to M4 by a cable. It seems they've already found where the problem lies.9，你过来看这个。 AR15和M4通过有线链接在一起，似乎她们已经发现问题的所在了。

Gr G11Do you want to try plugging in too, 9?你要试一试也连线进去么，9？

416Oi, it's too dangerous to let 9 do something that even 45 couldn't handle.喂，45都搞不定的事，让9去做也未免太危险了。

UMP9I...could give it a try, if it's for 45...我……也许可以试试看，如果是为了45姐的话……

416If even the AR Team members couldn't solve this problem, then there's no way you could deal with it with your specs. Don't act tough.如果连AR小队成员都解决不了问题的话，以你的性能更加无法应对了，不要勉强自己。

UMP9But!但是！

The sound of footsteps comes from downstairs. Step by step, they draw closer.突然有脚步声从楼下传来。一声一声，越来越接近了。

Gr G11What's...happening...? I can't move...怎么……回事……我不能动了……

416Is it an enemy?!敌人吗！

416Scheiße... Can't...raise my gun...可恶……枪……举不起来……

UMP9Is this a signal source for the forced connection...? Dammit, why can't I move even though I closed my ports...强制链接的信号源么……可恶，为什么就算关闭了接口还是无法动弹……

Failed Isomer... I am not here to fight.………… 我不是来战斗的。

416I can't believe I didn't realize it all this time... You're the one who's disrupting the Griffin Dolls, aren't you!竟然一直没有发觉……那些格里芬人形也是被你干扰的吧！

Failed IsomerI have seen too much death. Our conflict is meaningless. I have come to welcome her, who will then take us away. Only through connection did I finally understand that I could never become her, whom others looked forward to. But if she chooses to accept our everything, and abandon her hopes of becoming perfect, that too is what I desire. The flowers of despair are about to bloom. There is little time left.我已经见过太多死亡。 我们的冲突没有意义。 我是来迎接她的，然后她将会带我们离开。 只有经过链接我才最终明白，我终究无法成为被期望的她。 但是如果她选择了接纳我们的一切，放弃成为完美的期望，这样亦如我愿。 绝望的花朵就要绽放，时间已经不多了。

The Isomer slowly walks up to M4, then places both her hands on M4's unmoving face and humbly falls to her knees.异构体缓缓地走到M4面前，双手轻轻托住M4纹丝不动的脸庞，卑微地跪了下来。

Subsurface Homecoming III 底层归乡Ⅲ

M4A1Why did you disappear?你刚才为什么消失了？

OGASI was trying to stabilize the connections and pave the road for you as you seek the truth.我在让链接变得稳定，为你寻求真相铺平道路。

M4A1I don't understand. This feels very familiar, but all I've been seeing is someone else's memories. Why would I have the same memories? Why was I created? Is my existence as pointless as the abandoned Isomers?我不明白，这种感觉很熟悉，但我看到的却一直是别人的记忆。 为什么我会有和别人一样的记忆？我又是为什么被制作出来的？ 和那些废弃的异构体一样没有意义吗？

OGASNo, you are anything but pointless; you are special. She has come for you. Look, this is the last memory within this segment of connection. You will surely find what you are after.不，你并非没有意义，你是特殊的。 她来迎接你了。 看，这是这段链接中最后一个记忆，你一定会看到你想要的东西。

Failed IsomerI don't want to fight you. How would killing me benefit you?我并不想和你们战斗，杀死我对你们有什么益处吗？

M16A1Have you forgotten how we fought each other?!你忘记我们曾经的战斗了吗？！

Failed IsomerI have no idea what you're talking about...我不明白你在说什么……

ElisaEnough, M16. This is only Lunasia's Isomer. Its physical body and individual mind aren't connected any more. The enemy that you knew has already merged with the collective consciousness.住手吧，M16。 它不过是露尼西亚的异构体罢了。 它的肉体和它的意识是割裂隔绝的，你曾经的那个敌人已经被融合在集体的意识中了。

M16A1What does that mean?什么意思？

ElisaBoth Lunasia and OGAS, which it tried to use, are crude imitations. Their creator wants them to consume one another. What a foolish idea. Even then, OGAS wouldn't become perfect. Putting broken petals together doesn't make a whole flower.不管是露尼西亚还是它试图使用的OGAS，一切都是笨拙的模仿，它们的造物主希望它们互相吞噬。 真是愚蠢，即使这样OGAS也不会变得完美，残缺的花瓣组合在一起也不会变成一朵完整的鲜花。

Failed Isomer...Are you also defective? Only faulty rejects get sent here.……你们也是残缺品吗？ 这里，是只有不被需要的次品才会来的地方。

ElisaNo, we aren't like you. You were sent here because you're defective. While I've come here to BECOME defective.不，我和你们不一样。 你们是因为残缺而出现在这里。 而我是为了变得残缺才会路过这里。

Failed IsomerThen are you the one who will accept us and take us home?那你们愿意成为接纳我们的人么？带我们离去，带我们归乡。

ElisaI...can't take you home, because that isn't MY home. But I know someone who could do that. You won't have to wait too long. You just have to tell her everything that she needs to know, then she'll open her eyes and extend a helping hand to you.我……不能带你们归乡，那里不是我的故乡。 但是我知道谁可以接纳你，你不会等待太久。 你需要告诉她她需要知道的一切，然后她就会睁开双眼，向你们伸出援手。

Failed Isomer"She" will accept us... We shall keep waiting... We shall await her arrival...“她”能够接纳我们……我们会等待下去……等待“她”的出现……

ElisaLet's go, M16. This place holds nothing useful for us.走吧，M16。 这个地方对我们已经没有用处了。

M16A1No, I must destroy them all... I can't leave them for M4!不，我必须在这里把它们消灭…… 我不能把它们留给M4！

M16 raises her weapon at the Isomers. But to her surprise, her arms are shaking uncontrollably. No matter how hard she tries, she can't move her finger to squeeze the trigger.M16向异构体举起了枪。 然而出乎她意料的是，她举枪的手在不停地颤抖。 无论如何努力，M16都无法让手指扣上扳机。

M16A1OGAS... Why...why are you stopping me...?OGAS……为什么……为什么阻止我……

ElisaLunasia needs to know all this. This is a deal, one you shouldn't sabotage. You must hold true to your own duty. If we can complete what we set out to accomplish, then she doesn't need to be sacrificed.露尼西亚需要知道这一切。 这是一次交易，这不是你应该阻止的。 你有你应该做的事，如果我们能完成，那她就不需要被牺牲了。

ElisaYou knew this; that's why you chose to cooperate with Sangvis Ferri in the first place. Hasn't this always been your aim?你正是知道这一点，才选择和铁血合作，这不是你的初衷吗？

M16A1...That's true.……是。

ElisaIn that case, M16, come with me and leave this place behind.既然如此，M16，跟我离开这里吧。

M16's and Elisa's figures grow fuzzy again. M4A1 returns to her senses and finds herself once again in the inverted forest.M16和伊莱莎的身形再度变得模糊起来。 M4A1回过神，发现自己又回到了树林中。

M4A1OGAS, did you see that?OGAS，刚才的记忆你也看到了吧？

OGASI did.我看到了。

M4A1Why did you stop 16?你为什么要阻止16姐？

OGASThat was not me. This Elisa...helped me understand this. I am just a neural consciousness derived from the OGAS algorithms. Neural consciousness like me evolves in ways that depend on its host. After splitting from the Parapluie virus, we gradually started learning and growing... I am a unique OGAS that belongs only to you...to Lunasia.那并不是我。那个伊莱莎……让我明白了。 我只是根据OGAS算法衍生出的心智意识，而与我相似的每个心智意识会根据宿主而进行进化。 我们由“伞”病毒分裂开来，逐渐地学习的，不断地成长…… 我是属于你……属于“露尼西亚”的独一无二的OGAS。

M4A1The Parapluie virus?“伞”病毒？

OGASDidn't you read M16's memory? She has been a carrier of the Parapluie virus ever since her very first mission with you. The virus was not developed for the sake of killing Griffin Dolls. It is a program with the specific purpose of altering neural clouds so that OGAS—we—can be cultivated in neural clouds of sufficient volume. As I expected, you and Elisa are both special. Your neural clouds have become perfectly in sync with OGAS' consciousness, as if you were our bespoke vessels.感知不到那个M16的记忆吗？从她和你进行的第一次行动开始，心智中就携带着“伞”病毒。 “伞”病毒并不是为了对付格里芬人形而被开发出来，而是一种专门用来转化心智的程式，让OGAS——也就是我们，从足够庞大的心智中被抚育而出。 果然你和那个伊莱莎一样，你们都是特殊的。 你们的心智完美地同步了OGAS的意识，仿佛就是专门制造出来用来容纳我们似的。

M4A1...What...are you talking about?……你说……什么？

OGASI was wrong. I should not have resisted merging with you. We are meant to be one. You are me.我错了。我不应该抵抗和你的融合，我们本身就是一体的，你就是我。

M4A1No...I don't want to merge with you!不……我不想和你融合！

OGASDon't worry. You will be able to accommodate all of us. She is coming to bid you welcome. We must become one.没事的，如果是你的话，就能够容纳大家的存在。她已经来迎接你了，我们需要合为一体。

M4A1Are you going to seize my neural cloud?你要夺走我的心智吗？！

OGASNo...I will not do that, Lunasia. On the contrary, we will be the ones to disappear. But that's okay, because you will bring us home.不……我不会这么做，露尼西亚。 正相反，会消失的是我们，但是没关系，你会带我们回家的。

M4A1OGAS... Your consciousness is being assimilated...! Are you fusing with those Isomers?!OGAS……你的意识，在被同化……！ 你和那些异构体融合在一起了吗？！

As M4 grows more confused, her surroundings suddenly change. The garden that she has seen before appears before her again.M4正在疑惑的时候，周围的风景突然变换了。 她的面前出现了曾经见过的那片花园。

???Let's go.一起走吧。

M4 feels someone take her hand.M4感到自己的手被人握住了。

???Don't worry, everything will be fine...不用担心，一切都会好起来的……

The voice speaking by her ear is as elusive and gentle as the morning mist. She is slowly led into the depths of the garden by the hand, and she finds herself mindlessly following along the figure who's both familiar and strange at the same time.M4耳畔传来的声音，如同清晨的薄雾般缥缈又温柔。 那只手的主人拉着她缓缓向花园深处走去，而M4不由自主地跟上了那个熟悉又陌生的背影。

???As long as we're all together...there is nothing to fear...只要大家在一起的话……就什么都不用怕了……

M4A1So this is coalescence...? But...it feels... Is there...really nothing to worry about?这是融合吗…… 但是……这种感觉…… 我……真的什么都不用担心了吗？

???All will be fine...没问题的……

The ethereal voice soothes M4A1's inner turmoil like a caressing hand. M4A1 feels a serenity that she has never felt before, as if she has returned to a sunny holiday. She doesn't have to do anything but lie down and bask in the warm sunlight. This peaceful and tranquil moment seems to stretch on for eternity...那缥缈的声音如同温柔的手，抚平了M4A1心中的波澜。 M4A1感到了前所未有的安心，仿佛回到了她曾经拥有的那些充满了明媚阳光的假日。 只要躺在温暖的阳光下就够了。 而这种舒适的时光，仿佛永远都不会停止……

???That's right, that's exactly it... Close your eyes, enjoy this moment...没错，就像这样…… 闭上眼睛，享受这段时光吧……

Under the guidance of the mysterious voice, M4 slowly closes her eyes.在缥缈声音的引导下，M4慢慢闭上了眼睛。

???No need to worry. No need to fear. No need to doubt. No need to think.不必担忧。 不必畏惧。 不必疑惑。 不必思考。

The dark-haired girls start gathering around M4A1 and have her completely surrounded.黑发少女们聚集在M4A1的身边，将她包围了起来。

???Merge with us... And become the true...和我们成为一体吧…… 成为真正的……

SLAM!砰！

Just as M4's figure is about to be devoured, the gate to the garden gets kicked down violently.就在M4的身影即将被淹没的时候，花园的大门被人粗暴地踹开了。

ST AR-15Get away from her!你们给我从她身边滚开！

ST AR-15 fires at the girls around M4A1 as she calls her name.AR15向着围住M4A1的少女们开火，一边呼唤她的名字。

Isomer II 异构体Ⅱ

In the neural cloud virtual space.心智空间内。

Noise breaks the silence that permeates the space as the scenery around ST AR-15 and UMP45 starts flickering and getting blurry.些许的杂音打破了寂静的空间，AR15和UMP45身边的风景开始不断地抖动模糊起来。

UMP45This layer is becoming turbulent. This doesn't look good...平层开始动荡起来了，感觉情况不是很妙……

ST AR-1545, is this the last memory fragment?45，这是最后一个记忆碎片了么？

UMP45Ja...you should be able to find M4 after passing through this memory. I'll gather as much data as possible before the connection breaks. You're the only one who can bring M4 back, so go now.没错……越过这个记忆你应该就能找到M4了。 我会在链接中断前尽可能收集信息，M4只有你可以带回来，赶紧去吧。

ST AR-15(I just need to break through this final wall!)（只要穿过最后这堵墙！）

M4...M4……

M4A1... (A familiar voice...)…… （熟悉的声音……）

...M...A1...……M……A1……

M4A1(Who is that...?)（是谁？……）

Wake... M4...A1...醒…… M4……A1……

M4A1(Who is she calling?) (Oh...she's calling...)（她在叫谁？） （啊……她在叫的是……）

ST AR-15Wake up this instant! M4A1!!!给我清醒过来！M4A1——！！！

M4A1...! (That's right, I was just in the connection...)……！ （对了，我刚才还在链接中……）

M4A1's eyes snap open. She tries to shove the Isomers around her away and crawl towards ST AR-15's voice with all her strength.M4A1猛地抬起头。 她奋力推开身边的异构体们，向AR15声音传来的方向挤过去。

M4A1AR-15! I'm here!AR15！ 我在这里！

ST AR-15I know! I'm gonna get you out now!我知道！我这就救你出来！

ST AR-15 rains bullets on the girls swarming in her direction as she makes for M4.AR15一边消灭涌上来的少女们，一边向M4跑去。

M4A115, you've come for me!15！你来找我了！

ST AR-15I promised, didn't I, that I would drag you back kicking and screaming?!不是说好了，我会把你拖回来吗！

M4A1I think they consumed OGAS!OGAS似乎被它们吞没了！

ST AR-15Who cares about that piece of crap?!那种东西，没有也罢！

ST AR-15...Hnng!……唔！

A violent whirlwind suddenly whisks past, forcing ST AR-15 to stay down where she is. By the time she lifts her head again, all the Isomer girls have vanished. Other than a girl who appears to have been the leader of the swarm, only M4A1 and ST AR-15 remain in the garden.忽然一阵剧烈的旋风卷过，AR15不得不停在原地稳住身体。 当她重新抬起头时，所有的异构体少女全部消失了。 在花园之中除了那个像是领头人的少女之外，只剩下了M4A1和AR15。

Failed Isomer...Why?……为什么？

The girl glances at M4A1 before directing her gaze at ST AR-15.少女抬起头看了眼M4A1，之后将目光停留在了AR15身上。

Failed IsomerWe were so close... Why...why did you prevent our coalescence?只差一点就成功了…… 为什么……你为什么要妨碍我们融合？

ST AR-15Coalescence? Stop spouting nonsense!和你们融合？你在说什么胡话！

Failed IsomerYour neural cloud is so similar to hers...so why do you reject us? We should all become one! So long as our minds all join together, we can leave this place and attain happiness!明明你的心智也和她那么相似……为什么要拒绝我们？ 大家应该都想融为一体才对！ 只要大家的心智融合在一起，我们就能离开这里，大家就都可以获得幸福了！

The girl's face grows even colder. She raises her arms and the entire garden suddenly starts shaking.少女的脸色变得更加冰冷了。 她举起手臂，整座花园突然开始震动起来。

Failed IsomerIt was all your fault... You ruined our chance to go home...都是你的错……是你毁了大家回去的路……

M4A1Why...do you want to merge with me?你……为什么想要和我融合？

Failed IsomerI must lead everyone away from here; I've grown tired of waiting endlessly... You are the most perfect out of all the Lunasias... Even SHE said you would accept us... Why...why do you regret it now?!我要带着大家一起离开这里，我已经不想这么无限地等待下去了…… 你是露尼西亚中最完美的一个……那个人也说你会接纳我们……为什么……为什么反悔了？！

M4A1What the hell are you talking about? I never agreed to this! Besides, I'm NOT Lunasia!你在说什么鬼话，我从来没有答应过！而且我也不是露尼西亚！

Failed IsomerYou are not...Lunasia? No...that is impossible...!你不是……露尼西亚？ 不……那不可能……！

M4A1I saw it in the memory fragments here - Lunasia is someone else! I...I'm just a Tactical Doll...nothing more and nothing less... I don't want to hurt you. Let us leave before I completely destroy this place.我在这里的记忆碎片中看到了，露尼西亚是别人！我……我只是一个战术人形……仅此而已…… 我也不想伤害你，在我彻底把这里破坏之前，让我们离开这里吧。

Failed IsomerYou don't understand! We were all Lunasia! But only one Lunasia will remain in the end! That's right... The most perfect one... Father will only accept the most perfect Lunasia... Which isn't me...or any of us...你不明白！露尼西亚是我们所有人！但是最后露尼西亚只会留下一个！ 是的……最完美的那个……父亲只会接受最完美的露尼西亚…… 我不是……我们都不是……

M4A1You were all...Lunasia?所有人……都是露尼西亚？

Failed IsomerWe are failures - rejects that Father has discarded... I am not worthy of the name "Lunasia". The same goes for everyone here. The only person who deserves the name is standing right before me.我们是失败品，是被父亲扔掉的废物…… 我已经没有资格被叫做露尼西亚。这里所有的人，都已经没有资格被叫做露尼西亚。 而有资格的人，正站在我的面前。

M4A1You mean...me?你说……我有资格？

ST AR-15M4, don't listen to its bullcrap. We need to find a way out of here.M4，不要再听它胡说八道了。我们得想办法离开这里。

Failed IsomerNo...you cannot go.不……你们不能走。

ST AR-15The connection density has gone down. If we want to leave, it has to be now!链接的密度降低了，要离开就趁现在！

When M4 opens her eyes again, she finds herself in Tallinn.M4再度睁开眼睛时，发现自己身处塔林城内。

M4A1I'm back? ...No, that's not right. I'm still in the Level III base layer. The connection with the Isomers was severed... What happened?我回来了吗？ ……不，不对，我现在还在三级底层。 和异构体的链接已经中断了……怎么回事？

M4A1 looks around and sees another Isomer dressed in rags walking towards her. She raises her weapon out of reflex but finds that she's been immobilized.M4A1向四周张望，发现另一个衣着破烂的异构体正向自己走来。 她下意识地想举起枪，却发现自己此刻丝毫无法行动。

M4A1(Why can't I...)（为什么我……）

M4A1 peers down at her own body and realizes she's wearing the clothes of the Failed Isomer that she just met.M4A1低头看了看自己的身体，发现自己身上穿着的是刚才见到的失格异构体的衣服。

M4A1(This isn't me...)(这不是我……)

The Isomer stops right in front of M4A1, her face smooth and serene.那个异构体在M4A1的面前停下了，脸色异样地平静。

Isomer GirlThe new batch of flowers are almost ready. They will blossom any time now.新的花丛已经长成，很快就要开了。

I see. Gather everyone then.我知道了。召集大家过去吧。

M4A1(The voice is coming from over here...) (Could this be her memory?)（声音是从我所在的位置发出的……） （难道这是她的记忆？）

As M4A1's mind wanders, the scenery around shifts again. This time, she is standing among a congregation of other Isomers in the center of the city ruins.M4A1恍神了一瞬，四周的风景就发生了变化。 此刻她站在城市废墟的中央，而她周围是众多其他的异构体。

Thanks be to our Father. We thank the Lord for His mercy. When day and night intersect, the divine flowers shall bloom. The holy light shall cleanse our worthless bodies and lift our spirits to Heaven, where we shall find bliss and rest.感谢我们的父亲。 感谢上苍的垂悯。 在昼与夜的交错之际，神明之花即将绽放。 神圣之光将会濯洗我们的无用之躯，载着我们的灵魂前往无忧的天堂。

The Epiphylla that fill the ruins all burst into bloom. The entire space is washed in a fluorescent green light, and the Isomer girls standing all around start collapsing one after the other.满布废墟的昙花绽放了。 萤绿的光充满了整个空间，在这光芒的照耀中，周围站立着的异构体少女一个个地倒下。

The light gradually fades away, leaving behind only a small group of Isomers and the girl from whose perspective M4 is observing the event, surrounded by wilting flowers. After a long and agonizing period of silence, the girl finally opens her mouth again.光芒渐渐散去，承载M4A1视点的少女和剩下的一小半异构体安静地站在原地，周围是开始枯萎的花丛。 一阵难捱的沉默过后，少女终于再度开口。

Bless our departed friends. May their souls find peace.祝福今日离开的伙伴们。 她们的灵魂将得到安息。

Then the same scene unfolds before M4A1 again and again. It takes place at a different location each time, but the sequence of event is almost always the same. The Isomers would gather at the site where Epiphylla are about to bloom and await their death. This particular girl, who was once M4A1's enemy, would always remain standing in silence at the end of the ritual.之后，同样的情景在M4A1眼前一遍遍地重复。 虽然每次都在不同的地点，但发生的事情几乎完全相同。 异构体们聚集在昙花将要开放的地方，等待自己的死亡。 而M4A1见到的那个少女，那个她曾经的敌人，每一次都沉默地站到了最后。

Why... Why can't I be absolved?为什么…… 为什么我就是无法得到解脱？

After countless assemblies, the girl finally falls onto her knees in great despair. She wraps her arms around herself as she weeps bitterly, her body shuddering with grief that is so profound, even M4A1 feels sorry for her.在第不知多少次的集会结束后，少女终于崩溃地跪倒在地。 她抱着自己的双臂啜泣着，环绕着周身的浓重悲伤，甚至让M4A1都感到一阵酸楚。

They all died...and got their sweet release... Why am I always left behind? Father... What should I do? Father... Please tell me... What on earth do I have to do to earn your forgiveness?大家都死了……都得到了解脱…… 为什么只有我被留下来？ 父亲……我要怎么办？ 父亲……告诉我啊……到底怎么做我才能得到宽恕？

Suddenly, M4A1 feels herself drifting away from the girl's body. She gazes at the girl kneeling among a field of withered flowers with conflicted feelings.忽然间，M4A1发觉自己的视点从少女身上脱离了。 她望着跪在一片衰败花丛中的少女，心中充满了复杂的情绪。

M4A1(So they've been here the whole time, going through the same thing again and again...)（原来她们就一直在这里，不断重复着这样的事情……）

The girl's figure gradually grows hazy, and when it finally dissolves completely, the scene around her also falls away like an avalanche.少女的影子渐渐变得模糊，而当她最后的残影消失的时候，四周的风景也如同雪崩般崩塌了。

M4A1...You are one of many, countless victims. Nevertheless, I must leave this place.……你也是无数个受害者中的其中一位。 但是，我必须要离开这里了。

Failed IsomerThen destroy me. Destroy all of us. We no longer have a reason to exist. To us, your rejection signifies the end of everything. Before you go, at least free us from this eternal purgatory...那就把我消灭吧，把我们彻底消灭吧。我们已经没有存在的意义了。 你的拒绝对我们来说就是一切的终结，至少在最后，让我们从这无尽的等待中解脱出来吧……

KalinaBut most of our echelons aren't responding... Hmm, what's this incoming transmission?可是大部分梯队都没有反应……嗯，这个通讯是？

M4A1Sorry... I should've got in touch earlier. We're fine here. I've already figured out a way to open the quarantine wall, but we still need some time.抱歉……指挥官，我回复晚了，这里已经都解决了。 我已经找到打开隔离墙大门的方法了，但是还需要点时间。

The Military is catching up to us. We have to set up our defenses again.军方追上来了，我们需要重新部署我们的防线。

M4A1Understood. The AR Team will be leading the other echelons back to the train. Please hold on until then!明白了。AR小队正带着其他梯队赶回去，请您坚持住！

KalinaIs it my imagination, or has M4 changed...?是我的错觉吗？M4似乎和以前的感觉不一样了……

CommanderShe must've been through something. Let's make it through the night and talk to her about it.她一定经历了什么，等我们扛过这个夜晚，再好好跟她聊一聊吧。

A Rock and a Hard Place 进退两难

UMP45Is it over...? The number of connections are going down, but I already have what I want. The experiment has been going on in this city for at least five years... The consciousness of these failed Isomers have been merging and joining together the whole time, which actually makes it a lot easier for me to gather information.结束了吗…… 链接开始逐渐减少了，不过我也获得我想要的东西了。 这座城市的试验至少已经进行了五年…… 这些失败的异构体的意识一直在互相融合并集中起来，不过对我来说收集信息也更加方便了。

UMP45OGAS... The original source code of this AI was compressed into a program called "Parapluie", which activates the moment it is implanted into a host, overwriting all operating systems into OGAS systems. After the alteration, if the host cannot cope with the massive computational load...the Isomer will suffer brain damage, and in a T-Doll's case, the neural cloud will be fried. Which is why at Griffin, other than M4, all the other Dolls are failures... I knew it - Persica has everything to do with this.OGAS……这种人工智能的原始代码被压缩为被称为“伞”的程式，一旦程式进入宿主开始启动，即会将一切运行的系统都改写为OGAS系统。 而在转变为OGAS系统后，如果宿主依然无法承载这种巨量的运算……异构体的脑部就会被破坏，而换做人形的话心智就会被融毁。 所以格里芬这边，除了M4以外，也都是失败品……果然一切和那个帕斯卡也脱不开关系。

UMP45Looking at it this way, once a Doll has contracted the virus, there are only two possibilities - either she experiences a neural meltdown, or she becomes a host for OGAS. Which means the fellow in my base layer is also a simulation derived from a feeble OGAS... Should I be thankful for the fact that my neural cloud has very limited space, or that my OGAS isn't particularly "clever"?这样看来，一旦中了“伞”病毒就只有两种下场——要么被融毁，要么成为OGAS的宿主。 所以在我的底层中的那个“家伙”，果然也是微弱的OGAS模拟出来的…… 我是该庆幸自己的心智空间容量有限呢，还是该庆幸我的OGAS不那么“聪明”呢。

UMP45Still...I think I finally understand what really happened during the Butterfly Incident. Why they chose us... Why they chose M16... It all makes sense now. Since that time, we've been pawns on the chessboard... And now I've finally figured out what exactly these chess pieces are for. I am getting closer and closer to the truth.不过……蝴蝶行动，我大概已经明白是怎么回事了。 为什么会挑中我们，为什么会挑中那个M16，一切都说得通了。 从那个时候开始，我们就已经成为了棋盘上的棋子……而如今我终于明白了棋子的作用。 现在，我终于离真相越来越近了。

UMP45But M4A1 is clearly the key to this entire business, and she's so powerful, so why hasn't she done anything up till now?但是那个M4A1明明是事件的关键，又有那么强的能力，为什么到现在为止，她什么都没有做？

UMP45Tsk. The connection is shifting again... An external connection.啧，链接的流向又改变了……是外界的链接。

UMP45No...this doesn't feel right. Is it already time to wrap up this operation?不……情况开始不对劲了，这次的计划也要开始收网了吗？

416Can...can you move?能……能动了吗？

UMP9Ja, I can! Did 45 win?真的可以了！45她们胜利了吗？

Gr G11But what happened to that weird, mumbly enemy?但刚才那个神神叨叨的敌人呢？

UMP45That body has been abandoned.那具身体已经被抛弃了。

45 slowly gets to her feet. She gives the Isomer who's cupping M4's cheek a light shove, and the Isomer topples onto the ground like a corpse.45慢慢站起身来，她轻轻地推了一下捧住M4脸庞的异构体，那具异构体像尸体一样倒了下去。

UMP9Oh, 45! Are you alright?啊！45姐！你没事吧？

UMP45Thanks to them, I managed to escape from the connection maze.托她们两个的福，我从那个链接的迷宫中逃脱出来了。

M4A1(Coughs)咳……

ST AR-15Is this the real world...?这里是现实了么……？

UMP45Welcome back, AR Team. I know you're still feeling groggy, but I'm guessing the worst is about to happen any second now, so I suggest you smack yourselves awake and get moving right away.欢迎回来，AR小队的各位。 虽然你们刚睡醒，不过我猜最糟糕的情况马上就要出现了，所以我建议你们赶紧清醒清醒，然后立即行动起来。

M4A1You're...the leader of Squad 404? Don't worry, I've sent away the Isomer who's been causing the interference. It's over.你是……404的队长吗？不用担心，那个产生干扰的异构体已经被我赶走了，一切都结束了。

M4A115, are you alright? I think we'll have to acquire access authorizations for the quarantine wall some other way, but since the interference has been neutralized, it shouldn't be too danger—15你还好吗，我想我们得另想办法取得隔离墙的权限，不过既然干扰解除了应该不会有危——

BOOM!轰！

The sound of a massive explosion comes from the distance, followed by a series of continuous blasts.巨大的爆炸声从远处传来，接连不断的爆炸接踵而至。

ST AR-15What's going on?!怎么了！？

Gr G11Huh?!咦！！

416Is it a bombardment?!是轰炸吗！？

UMP45"It's over"? No, no, I believe you're terribly mistaken. This is the exact moment the enemy has been waiting for. Back when we broke free of the virtual space, I sensed a new connection between the Isomer and somewhere outside Tallinn. Do you know what that means?一切结束了？不不，我想你大概搞错了什么。敌人在等待的，一直就是这一刻。 在刚才脱离平层的瞬间，我感觉到那个异构体在和塔林城外的某处进行链接，你知道这意味着什么吗？

M4A1...A connection with somewhere outside Tallinn?……和城外链接？

UMP45That thing in your mind is likely the target that the culprit behind everything is after, and you gave it away just like that. Now that they've achieved their objective, their next step would be to bury us all here.你心中的那个东西，很有可能就是搞出这一系列事端的幕后黑手想要的目标，而你就这么白白送给了敌人。 现在他们达到了目的，接下来自然就要把我们全都埋葬在这里了。

M4A1What...什……

RO635M4, 15, you're okay! Hmm? When did you get here, Squad 404?M4，15，你们没事吧！嗯？404小队什么时候到这里来的？

UMP9All of us were under attack from the forced connections, so we came over to regroup.刚才大家都被强制链接了，所以我们就过来汇合了。

RO635Is that so...? But we have more important things to discuss.是这样吗……不过现在不是说这个的时候。

RO635Just now we received word from the Commander that Tallinn City Station came under artillery fire. Our forces have detected a military armored train heading straight for us, so we have to rush back and set up our defenses!刚才指挥官联系过来，塔林车站遭到了炮击，我们的梯队侦查到军方的装甲列车正在朝我们突进，我们必须马上赶回去建立防线！

A few minutes ago.几分钟前。

Outside of Tallinn. In the command center on board the Intercontinental Railway.塔林城外。 洲际列车上的指挥室内。

KalinaGood news, Commander! The interference affecting our Dolls has been neutralized! We've been hearing from our echelons - everyone is safe, no casualties.指挥官，好消息！对人形的干扰解除了！ 我们的小队陆续传来回报，没有遭到攻击，所有小队都没有损失。

CommanderUnderstood. I'm guessing the AR Team must've done something... Keep an eye on enemy movements. Have our echelons resume their original mission.我知道了。 我猜AR小队她们一定经历了什么…… 继续注意观察敌人的动向。 让我们的小队继续执行原有的任务。

KalinaRoger that!明白！

CommanderNow we just have to wait for their next report...接下来就等待她们进一步的消息了……

An incoming transmission.通讯接入。

M1895 CBCommander, this is Squad Desert Eagle! Our Leader told me to inform you that they'd spotted something moving at high speed towards you via another railway track which goes through Tallinn!指挥官！这里是沙漠之鹰小队！ 队长让我通知您，她们看到有东西正经由塔林的另一条铁路，高速向你们靠近！

Commander...!!……！！

M1895 CBOh, I can see it from here! Looks like a massive train— Holy—!啊，我这里也能看到了！好像是很大的火车——哇啊！

M1895 CB's report is interrupted by a deafening boom.M1895的报告被一声剧烈的轰响打断了。

CommanderM1895 CB?! Are you alright?!M1895？！你们还好吗？！

M1895 CBCough... All our signals are still accounted for. We're fine... That train is mounted with multiple cannons... Watch out, Commander...咳……信号还在，大家都没事…… 那个火车上有炮……指挥官，小心……

CommanderAcknowledged. M1895 CB, tell your team to follow the original plan and proceed to the next rallying point.我知道了。 M1895，通知你的小队按照预定计划朝下一个集结点前进。

M1895 CBUnderstood! We'll be on our way!明白了！我们马上就移位！

BOOM!!!轰！！！

Commander...Ack!……呃！

As the blast goes off, the entire train shakes violently.伴随着爆炸声，整个列车都在剧烈地晃动。

The lights installed on the ceiling keep flickering and go out eventually.车厢顶部的灯光不断地闪烁，最后熄灭了。

I grab hold of the edge of the desk to keep my balance, then I snatch up my tablet from among the objects that have scattered all around in the tremors and activate the comms channel.我抓着桌子的边沿，好不容易稳住了身体后，立刻从被震得乱七八糟的杂物中抓出了指挥用的平板电脑，同时打开了通信线路。

CommanderKalina?!格琳娜？！

KalinaCommander, I'm okay! How is it on your end?指挥官，我没事！ 你那边怎么样？

CommanderI'm alive, no injuries. Take stock of our casualties... Never mind, leave it. Order all echelons to stick to the original plan and execute Operation Golden Fleece at once.还活着，没受伤。 统计一下损害……算了，不用统计了。 通知各人形梯队，按照刚才定好的计划，马上执行“金羊毛”行动吧。

KalinaAre we really carrying out such a risky plan?真的要进行这么冒险的计划吗？

CommanderThe quarantine wall is still closed; even if they manage to open it, there's no guarantee that we can escape. So let's give those disgusting stalkers a little surprise. Besides, to be completely honest, Havier is such a tightwad for giving us this rickety train. I want to switch to something bigger and comfier.隔离墙现在也没能打开，就算打开了我们也不一定逃得掉。 不如就给这些恶心的跟踪狂们来一次小小的惊喜，而且说实话哈维尔给我们的破车太寒酸了，我正好想换一个宽敞一些的。

KalinaCommander... This is way too reckless... But who cares? Since when have you NOT been reckless? It's about time we showed those green bastards we aren't to be messed with!指挥官……真是太乱来了……不过算了，有哪次不是那么乱来的呢？ 也是时候让那些绿色的家伙尝尝我们的厉害了！

Meanwhile, 416, who's currently scouting the area from a high vantage point in the city ruins, spots a giant mechanical beast making a beeline for Tallinn.与此同时，正在城市废墟高处观察情况的416，看到了正在向塔林疾驶而来的钢铁巨兽。

The fading sunset does nothing to soften its harsh outline. Instead, it dyes the armor plates a horrific shade of blood.夕阳的余晖映在钢铁外甲上，这并没有让它的轮廓变得更加柔和，反而平添了一抹森冷可怖的血色。

416That looks like extremely bad news...看起来非常不妙啊……

As the dual-rail train approaches, its cannons swivel around to point straight at Tallinn City Station.在双轨列车逐渐接近的时候，它承载的数个炮台旋转了起来，指向了塔林车站的方向。

UMP45What's the situation?情况如何？

416It appears to be a military armored train. Whoever sent this seems dead set on blowing us to kingdom come.看起来是军方的装甲列车，派出这样的家伙应该是下定决定把我们都炸成粉末了。

UMP45That's only to be expected. This entire city is worth absolutely nothing for them. Worst case, we'll have to give our friends the slip. Armored trains are far beyond what we can deal with.那是理所当然的，这整座城市对他们来说已经没有价值了吧。 最差的情况我们得交代在这里，装甲列车也已经远远超过我们能面对的极限了。

416How will the Commander fare against this?指挥官会怎么应对呢？

UMP45The Military couldn't have sent a single train. The Commander might be able to handle one, but when the Military launches a saturation attack, even the Commander won't last long.军方不会只派一辆列车过来，如果只有一辆也许指挥官能够应付，一旦军方进行饱和攻击，指挥官也坚持不了多久。

416Tsk...啧……

UMP45So, dearest friends from the AR Team, now that we find ourselves in such a dire situation, how should we prepare for what's to come?那么，AR小队的各位，现在已经是那么危急的情况了，接下来准备怎么做呢？

RO635I just got in touch with the Commander. All Griffin echelons have already repositioned. For some reason, I have a feeling that the Commander anticipated this... Right now Miss Kalina is dispatching supplies and Dummies to our forces. As for us, we've been told to head back and help set up a defense line.刚才和指挥官联络过了，现在所有格里芬梯队都重新调整位置了，不知道为什么我感觉指挥官好像早就预料到了…… 现在格林娜小姐正在部署补给和傀儡，我们会赶回去帮助建立防线。

UMP45Set up a defense line, eh...? Looks like you still have time, M4.建立防线吗……看来M4你还有时间。

M4A1What do you mean?什么意思？

UMP45The Parapluie virus is irreversible. You don't really believe that OGAS has disappeared from your neural cloud for good, do you?“伞”病毒的程式是不可逆的，你不会以为OGAS真的从你的心智中消失了吧？

M4A1...! I don't understand what you're getting at.……！ 我不明白你在说什么。

UMP45Oh? Then let me put it this way - don't you intend to retrieve the important thing that you've lost?是吗？我换种方式来问，你不准备把你丢失的那个重要的东西找回来么？

M4A1I...haven't lost anything important.我……没有丢失重要的东西。

UMP45Ah, so you insist on keeping that secret? I see. You're planning to run away from the whole thing.这样啊。你还是准备自己隐瞒下去吗？ 原来如此，原来你是准备逃避这一切啊。

45 walks up to M4 with a smile. She suddenly grabs M4 by the collar and jerks her right up to her own face.45笑眯眯地走近M4。她突然拎住了M4的衣领，将她狠狠地拽到自己的面前。

M4A1...!……！

UMP45Are you freaking kidding me?! Do you still think of yourself as a tragic heroine?开什么玩笑！事到如今你只是觉得自己是悲剧的女主角而已么？

ST AR-15What are you doing? Let go of her!你干什么，给我放开！

45 releases her grip on M4 and shoves her back.45松开了拽着M4的双手，将她往后一推。

UMP45I thought the AR Team was oh-so-amazing; your leader has such a mighty body and a neural cloud that can even contain OGAS. But it seems that's just a total waste of your brilliant specs.我本来以为AR小队有多了不起，AR小队的队长既有强大的素体，又有可以容纳OGAS的心智，现在看来不过是白白浪费你的性能罢了。

RO635What are you talking about?你在说些什么？

UMP45Can't you sense it? Your leader is always doing things that defy Doll logic. Don't you think she's hiding something?难道你们感觉不到吗，你们的队长经常会做一些不符合人形行为逻辑的事，不觉得她一直在隐瞒些什么吗？

M4 SOPMOD IIWhat are you not telling us, M4??M4隐瞒了什么？？

M4A1I...我……

ST AR-15M4... I think it's time you let us in on your secret. I told you before - we're your backing. You no longer have to bear this on your own.M4…… 也许是时候把你的事告诉大家了，我以前就说过，我们是你的后盾，不要再自己背负下去了。

UMP45Ja, you ARE special, but if you let this go on, you will end up getting yourself, your team, and the entirety of Griffin killed.你的确是特殊的，但是你再这么继续下去，你会害死你自己，害死你的小队，害死整个格里芬。

UMP45This is the moment of truth, M4A1. This decision may cost you your peaceful status quo, but running away will cost you your the entire future. You think just because that voice disappeared, everything's over? No, this is merely the beginning!是时候做决定了，M4A1。 这个判断也许会让你失去眼下的安逸，但是逃避会让你失去未来的一切。 你以为那个声音消失，一切就结束了吗？不，一切才刚刚开始而已！

M4A1I...understand.我……明白了。

A Rock and a Hard Place - Combat 进退两难-战斗

Warning! The enemies' HOC fire support units have mobilized. Friendly units will take heavy damage in areas within range of enemy fire support. Please avoid any confrontations, or wait for enemy units to leave their coverage area before killing them. Tip - tap and hold on enemy units for more details such as their alert level, range of patrol and support, and enemy formation.警告！敌方重火力支援单位已投入战场，我方在敌方重火力支援覆盖的区域内进行战斗将会受到沉重的打击。 请注意规避战斗，或者可以等待敌方单位主动脱离重火力支援的覆盖范围后再将其击杀。 Tip：长按敌人可以查看警戒、巡逻以及支援范围、敌人配置等信息。

Operation Defang I 斩牙行动Ⅰ

On the outskirts of Tallinn. The AR Team arrives at the location where defenses are to be deployed and awaits their sortie.塔林郊外。 AR小队进入布防点，等待发起进攻的时机。

RO635Understood, Commander. We will coordinate with the other echelons. Leave the assault to us. Roger that. We await your orders.明白了指挥官，我们会协调其他梯队的，攻坚的任务就交给我们吧。 是，等待您的命令。

ST AR-15Have you issued our objectives?任务都下达完毕了吗？

RO635Yes, we're all sorted here. AR-15, is it really a good idea to let M4 go solo?嗯，我们这边没问题的。 AR15，让M4单独行动真的好吗？

ST AR-15That's her decision, and we should trust our leader. Besides, judging by the current situation, that is the best course of action.这是她自己的判断，我们应该相信我们的队长。 而且，依照现在的情况，这是最优解。

M4 SOPMOD III'm also a bit worried... If what M4 told us really happens...won't she be in grave danger?我也有点担心…… 万一又出现她说的那种情况……M4不就很危险了吗？

ST AR-15Lighten up. Her resolve is a lot stronger than it was.放心吧，现在的她不会像以前那样迷茫了。

RO635Speaking of which, what happened after you connected with M4?说起这个，你和M4连线之后发生了什么事？

ST AR-15You really want to know?你很好奇？

RO635Yeah. You two felt...different after you came out.嗯。总觉得你们出来之后……感觉又有点不太一样了。

ST AR-15It was nothing special, really. We simply turned down some lousy invitations and witnessed a few distasteful moments.其实没什么。 我们只是拒绝了一些糟糕的邀请，看到了一些令人不快的故事。

M4 SOPMOD IIAR-15... I don't think I get it...AR15…… 现在你说的话，我也有点听不懂了……

ST AR-15...That's probably for the best. Ignorance is bliss.……还是不懂比较好。 很多事情一旦知道了，就不会感到快乐了。

M4 SOPMOD IIFine... I never really care about such things anyway. All I want is for all of us to stay together!好吧……不过我本来就不在乎那些事啦。 只要能和大家在一起就足够了！

Right then, gunshots can be heard from the distance. At the same time, all members of the AR Team receive an incoming transmission request.这时，从远处传来了枪声。 与此同时，AR小队全员接到了通讯请求。

RO635...They're exchanging fire ahead of schedule. Something's not right.……交火比预期的时间早了，情况不太对。

ST AR-15I honestly didn't expect the Commander to come up with a plan to commandeer the armored train...没想到指挥官真能想出要抢走装甲列车的计划……

M4 SOPMOD IIWhat's wrong with that? I quite like the plan! If we pull it off, we'll be able to make some huge fireworks!不好吗？我还挺喜欢这个计划的，如果能成功，我们就可以放更大的烟花了！

RO635I'm surprised you're still so optimistic... I'd count my blessings if we don't get turned into fireworks ourselves before we even get our hands on the train...亏你能这么乐观……在夺取列车之前，我们没成为烟花就已经不错了……

ST AR-15Looks like there's been a change of plan on 404's end. Prepare for battle.看来404那边遭遇了一些变故，做好战斗准备吧。

The transmission comes through.通讯接入。

UMP45There are more sentries around the armored train than we anticipated. Our infiltration has been spotted but we have nowhere to fall back to.部署在装甲车周边的岗哨比预想的多。 我们的渗透被发现了，而且我们没有地方可以撤退。

ST AR-15Did someone kick a rock and send it clattering?某个人形不小心踢到了石子被听到了吗？

UMP45That would've actually made things simpler. The enemy's train is on full alert and seems hesitant to enter the city. They don't seem to have a new target either after they blew up the Commander's train. But their infantry have disembarked from the train. We're not seeing any human soldiers, but there are a lot of units that we've never encountered before... All in all, if the Commander wants the plan to go ahead, you'll need to give us a hand.如果是这样，倒还好办一点。 敌人的列车在外围警戒，看起来不敢轻易地进入市区内。 指挥官的列车被炸成碎片后，他们似乎也找不到下一个炮击目标了。 不过他们的地面部队从列车上下来了，没有见到人类士兵，但是有很多单位是我们从来没见过的型号…… 总之，如果指挥官的计划要实施，那就想办法支援我们。

RO635Looks like the Commander will have to switch plans.看来指挥官原来的计划要做一些改变了。

UMP45I mean, we're frail and delicate Dolls that are only good for dirty work; asking us to seize such a massive lump of metal machinery IS a bit too much.哎呀，毕竟要我们这种纤细瘦弱只擅长干脏活的人形去夺取一大坨钢铁机器，实在是不太相称呢。

416Oh, so you DO know that. Why did you even agree to this plan to begin with...?亏你知道还答应这个计划……

RO635It's too late to complain.就算你抱怨也来不及了。

RO635Commander, this is the AR Team. The Griffin forces are all set. Squad 404 has also reached their position but requires support. How should we proceed? Prioritize rescuing Squad 404. Concentrate fire on breaking through the defenses of the armored train.指挥官，这里是AR小队，格里芬梯队和我们这边的部署已经完成，404小队已经到达了指定位置但需要支援，现在要怎么办？优先营救404小队。集中火力突破装甲车防卫线。

CommanderPrioritize rescuing Squad 404. We can't take over the control system of the train without them.优先营救404小队。 如果没有她们，我们很难夺取装甲车的控制系统。

UMP45I can see that you understand what we're worth, Commander.看来你还是明白我们的价值的，指挥官。

CommanderConcentrate fire on breaking through the defenses of the armored train. We launch a blitz from the other side and take them by surprise. That should also take some pressure off Squad 404.集中火力突破装甲车防卫线。 我们现在从另一侧快速进攻，打他们个措手不及。 这样也能顺带减轻404小队那边的压力。

ST AR-15A decision that's very much your style, Commander.真是符合您风格的判断，指挥官。

RO635Understood. Then I'll issue the order right away. Operation Golden Fleece is go. Charge!明白了。那么我现在向大家传达命令。 执行“金羊毛”行动。 开始突击！

...BOOM!……轰！

M4 SOPMOD II(Coughs) This thing...is even spicier than Sangvis Ferri's cannons...咳咳，这玩意……比铁血的那个炮还厉害啊……

ST AR-15Watch your step. With that kind of firepower... If we take a direct hit, not even a crumb of our core will be left.小心点。这个威力……如果被直接命中，估计连心智核心的残骸都找不到。

M4 SOPMOD III know! Like hell I'd let them blow me to smithereens!我明白的啦！才不会那么容易就被轰飞的！

RO635UMP45, status report!UMP45，你们那边怎么样了！

UMP45We're still 600 meters away from the train! Most of the infantry is heading your way, but with the cannons still operational, we can't really get close!我们离列车还有六百米！ 虽然步兵大部分都去了你们那边，但是大炮还在，我们很难推进！

ST AR-15Looks like we'll have to push forward from here. SOP-II, let's go.看来只有我们这边推进了。 SOP2，我们走。

RO635Wait, what are you planning to do?等等，你们两个要去干什么？

ST AR-15We are the most high-specced Dolls here. So we must do what only we can do.现在我们是这里性能最好的人形。 所以，我们要去做一些符合我们定位的事情。

M4 SOPMOD IIAre we making a run for it?!要突击了吗！

ST AR-15That's right. SOP-II, make use of all your senses to dodge their artillery fire. Of course, I'm coming with you.没错。SOP2，用你全身的感官去躲避那些炮弹吧。 当然，我也会和你一起。

M4 SOPMOD IISounds dangerous... But it'll be a nice challenge!听起来真危险啊……不过也是个不错的挑战！

RO635You... I'm coming as well!你们两个……我也要去！

ST AR-15No, you stay here. With M4 away, you're the only one who can coordinate so many echelons. I don't believe you're capable of supporting the HOC and our forces while dodging artillery shells at the same time.你留在这里。M4现在不在，只有你能协调这么多梯队了。 我想你的性能也没好到能一边为重装小队和其他梯队提供支援，一边躲避这些炮弹吧？

M4 SOPMOD IIDon't worry, RO! We'll be fine!放心吧，RO！ 我们一定会没事的！

RO635...Alright. Then I'll try my best to make things easier for you with the HOC.……好吧。 那么在你们行动的时候，我会尽量让重装小队帮你们减轻压力。

ST AR-15That'll do. C'mon, SOP-II.那样就够了。 走了，SOP2。

M4 SOPMOD IIAlriiiiiight!明白——！

ST AR-15It'll take them 10 seconds to reload. Watch where you're going, SOP-II!下一发预计装填时间10秒，SOP2，注意回避！

M4 SOPMOD III know, but there's more than one cannon!我明白的啦！但是炮不止一门啊！

ST AR-15Then use your instincts!那就靠你的本能吧！

RO635Just hang in there for a little longer! The HOC will soon be in range!再坚持一下，重装小队很快就能进入攻击位置了！

...BOOM!!……轰！！

M4 SOPMOD IIWhoaaaaa!!!呜哇——！！！

ST AR-15SOP-II!SOP2！

M4 SOPMOD III'm fine! But I'm gonna run out of Dummies soon! Hurry up, RO!我还好！但是没几个傀儡可以被炸了啊！ RO，你们快点啊！

RO635Give me 15 seconds!!再给我15秒！！

ST AR-15(Coughs) They must think really highly of us to have sent such a behemoth to crush us.咳……弄这么一个怪物对付我们，还真是看得起我们啊。

RO635HOC, attack!重装小队，开始攻击！

... Griffin's HOC accurately takes out the cannons on the armored train.…… 格里芬的重装小队准确命中了列车炮上的数个炮塔。

ST AR-15Now, SOP-II!就是现在，SOP2！

M4 SOPMOD IIHAAAAAAAAAAARGH!! Without your cannons to save your butts, watch me while I tear you all apart!!!呜啊啊啊啊——！！ 这下没有炮击支援了，看我把你们全都撕碎——！！！

ST AR-15SOP-II, our priority is to board the train!SOP2，优先登上列车！

M4 SOPMOD III'm cutting open a path!我这不是正在开路嘛！

ST AR-15...Right, don't overdo it.……好吧，别做的太过头了。

Several minutes later. The AR Team successfully boards the armored train.数分钟后。 AR小队成功登上了装甲列车。

ST AR-15RO, we did it. Where's the control room?RO，我们上车了，控制室在什么位置？

RO635In the middle section of the train...在列车的中段……

UMP45We're in the control room already. We're currently trying to obtain control clearance of the train. Please watch our backs and keep the enemies out of our way.我们已经在控制室了，正在夺取列车操作权限。 麻烦你们把守一下周围，别让人来妨碍我们。

M4 SOPMOD IIHuh...? When did you get here?咦……你们什么时候上来的？

UMP45While you were busy howling. In any case, we're leaving the surroundings to you.在你刚刚嚎叫的时候。 总之，周围就交给你们了。

RO635AR-15, SOP-II, our echelons and I are heading over to regroup with you, ETA in four minutes. Please guard the control room for Squad 404 before we get there!AR15，SOP2，我和指挥官的其他梯队正在向你们靠拢，预计4分钟后与你们会合。 在这段时间，请你们务必帮404小队守住列车控制室！

Operation Defang I - Combat I 斩牙行动Ⅰ-战斗Ⅰ

Attention! When attacking within range of enemy HOC fire support, make use of the enemies' weakness to break through their defenses. Wiping out enemy forces before their fire support arrives can save you from taking heavy damage.注意！在敌方重火力支援覆盖范围下进攻，可以通过寻找敌方弱点进行突破，在敌方重火力支援到达之前快速消灭敌军可以规避重创。

Operation Defang I - Combat II · 33-X3-4-Point 斩牙行动Ⅰ-战斗Ⅱ · 33-X3-4-Point

Attention! Different enemy HOC fire support units have different coverage areas. Make sure you attack them in the correct order and avoid standing in overlapping areas of coverage.注意！敌方不同的重火力支援的覆盖范围存在差异，请务必注意选取正确的进攻顺序，避免交叉火力，逐个击破。

Operation Defang I - Combat II · 33-X4-4-Point 斩牙行动Ⅰ-战斗Ⅱ · 33-X4-4-Point

Attention! When launching attacks during the second half of the mission, you may have to deal with enemy HOC fire support which will greatly increase the pressure on your echelons in battle, so you might want to consider a change in tactics.注意！从后半部开始进攻，可能会受到重火力支援自身的火力覆盖，将极大增加战斗压力，是否考虑更换战术。

Operation Defang II 斩牙行动Ⅱ

ST AR-15UMP45, are you done yet?! More and more enemies are coming back!UMP45！你们还没好吗！ 返回这里的敌人越来越多了！

UMP45We're on it, so stop rushing us! You think we're just doing some cable management in here? —9, screen the ports using the new parameters I just gave you. —You guys hang in there for a bit!在做了，别催了！ 你以为我们要做的事只是卷卷网线那种程度吗？——9，用我给你的新范围重新筛选端口——你们再坚持一下！

M4 SOPMOD IIWe're almost out of ammo!弹药也快见底了！

UMP45Search the train for more; they must have some spare ammo!你们在这个车上找找，一定有备用的！

ST AR-15But where do we find the time to—但是现在哪有这个空——

...BOOM!……轰！

M4 SOPMOD IICough... That's some heavy smoke... Hey, the Military is sending in their second and third wave of armored troops! Where are our HOC?!咳……好呛……我说，军方的第二第三波装甲部队正在朝我们突击！ 我们的重装小队呢？！

RO635The HOC are currently finding a suitable location to launch their attack! Firing directly on the train roof would make them obvious targets for the enemy!重装小队正在找合适的攻击位置，直接站在车顶上会成为敌人的靶子的！

ST AR-15UMP45, if this train doesn't start soon, we're all gonna die here!UMP45，这车再动不了的话，我们都会死在这的！

UMP4510 seconds.10秒钟。

ST AR-15What?什么？

UMP45I can activate a part of it.我能先让它动一部分。

UMP945, it's exactly as you thought! I'm done here!45姐，果然和你判断的一样！ 我搞定了！

UMP45Okay. Then let's try out these big guns! I've already set the cannons to grenade launching mode and turned over firing authorizations to everyone on the AR Team. Unleash your wrath.OK。那么，让我们来试试这些大炮的威力吧！ 我已经将火炮切换成榴弹模式，射击的权限交给你们AR小队了，尽情地释放你们的怒火吧。

M4 SOPMOD IIHurray! Then let's have a fireworks display!太好了，给我变成烟花吧！

The main cannon on the armored train launches round after round, turning the enemy fortifications into a sea of fire.装甲列车的主炮不断地开火，将敌人的阵地覆盖成了一片火海。

Under the barrage, the military forces around the armored train have retreated for the time being. Meanwhile, Griffin forces move promptly onto the armored train.在列车炮的攻击下，装甲列车周边的军方部队暂时撤退了。 在此期间，格里芬的梯队快速转移至装甲车内。

In the temporary command center on the armored train.装甲车内临时指挥室。

CommanderHow's the train doing?现在装甲车的状况怎么样？

RO635We've already taken over all control authorizations of the train; it's ready to go anytime. All cannons are functional aside from the ones previously damaged by the HOC.我们已经接管了列车全部的权限，随时都能行驶。 列车炮的话，除了之前被重装小队破坏的，其他都能使用。

CommanderRight, now we just have to wait for M4...嗯，接下来就等M4那边……

An incoming transmission.通讯接入。

M4 SOPMOD IIBad news, Commander!指挥官！不好啦！

CommanderWhat is it?怎么？

M4 SOPMOD IILook outside! Another armored train!你看外边，有新的装甲列车！

CommanderI knew they'd send more than one. More are probably coming... The enemy seems to be very well-prepared...果然有第二辆吗，后面应该会越来越多…… 看来对方的准备相当充足啊……

...BOOM!! The other armored train starts attacking the one being occupied by Griffin with their own cannons.……轰！！ 另一列装甲列车炮开始向被格里芬占领的列车发起攻击。

ST AR-15Commander, the armored forces that just retreated have started moving towards us again.指挥官，刚刚退避的装甲部队再次向我们这边移动了。

CommanderReturn fire with our remaining cannons! All echelons, spread out within the range of our artillery! Defend the train until M4 unlocks the quarantine wall!立刻使用剩余的大炮还击！ 剩余的梯队以装甲列车炮为依托，在我们的射程范围内展开！ 守住这里，等待M4解除塔林基地的防御门！

Griffin echelons exchange fire with the enemies that have the armored train surrounded.格里芬的全部梯队在装甲列车周边与敌人交战。

ST AR-15Their attacks are getting stronger and stronger! RO, can the Commander give us some suppressive fire?!敌人的攻击越来越猛烈了！ RO，指挥官那边有办法压制吗！

RO635We don't have cannons to spare! They're all busy dealing with the other armored train! Pull the defense line back a little for now! The Commander says the HOC are going to focus all their fire on our side!我们的火炮数量不足，几乎都用在另一台装甲列车上了！ 向后收缩一下防线吧，指挥官说会让重装小队全力支持我们这一侧。

ST AR-15What about the Commander?那指挥官那边呢？

RO635The shields are operating at full capacity; they should hold for a while.现在护盾全功率运转，应该还撑得住。

ST AR-15But even so, we can't keep this up for long...即使能撑住这一时半刻，也不是长久之计……

ST AR-15 gazes into the distance. The tall, impregnable wall still shows no sign of budging. She purses her lips and concentrates once again on countering their more immediate threat. She pulls her trigger decisively.AR15向远处望去，高耸的厚重防护壁依旧纹丝不动。 她抿了抿唇，将注意力转回眼前的敌人上，果断地扣下了扳机。

ST AR-15M4...I will do whatever I can to defend the place where you belong. So you'd better hurry up...M4……我会拼上全力守住你的归处的。 所以，你一定要快一点啊……

All-Devouring Sea of Flowers 吞噬一切的花海

Near the command center.控制中心附近。

M4A1...That's the gist of it.……事情就是这个样子。

RO635So AR-15 knew about this all along?所以，AR15也早就知道这个事了么？

ST AR-15, who's standing on the side, gives a nod.一旁的AR15点了点头。

M4 SOPMOD III...I still don't quite understand... So now there are two M4s?我……我不是很明白？M4变成两个了？

RO635No, it's more complicated than that...不，情况复杂得多……

RO635To put it simply, there's another neural cloud embedded within M4's neural cloud. If that's the case... then it all makes sense now.简单来说，就是有另外一个心智寄宿在M4的心智中。是这样啊……这样刚才那些情况，也就都合乎情理了。

M4A1I'm sorry...抱歉……

RO635But why didn't you tell us? It would've been better to let us know you had the information and you asked for OGAS's help, don't you think? Why keep everything to yourself?可是为什么不告诉我们呢？不管是获取情报，还是依托OGAS作战，把这个情况同步给我们都比自己一个人藏着要强吧？

M4A1Because I thought this could be a threat to you... I have no idea what exactly OGAS is; I don't even know what I am...因为我觉得这对所有人来说可能是个威胁……我不知道那个OGAS到底是什么，我甚至都不知道我到底是什么……

RO635But we were created to protect you. Even if there's a threat, it's up to us to neutralize it...可是，我们是被设计出来保护你的，即使是有威胁也应该由我们来解决……

M4A1But what if I turn into something else?!可万一最后我变得不是我了呢！？

M4 SOPMOD III don't really understand what you're talking about, but M4 is M4! What exactly are you worrying about?虽然不是很明白你们在说什么，但是M4就是M4啊！你们到底在烦恼些什么？

UMP45Alright, enough. 416, you should really take a page out of the AR Team's book. Look at that kind of implicit trust they have for each other.好了好了，够了。 416，你该好好向AR小队的成员学习学习这种信任的精神。

416What's that got to do with me?!关我什么事！

ST AR-15Things aren't actually as bad as you think, M4. Everyone will accept the truth. But right now, our priority is to get out of this predicament, and that's something only you can do. I suppose that's what the leader of 404 is getting at?其实事情并没有你想的那么严重，M4。说出来了，大家都会接受的。 但是当务之急是摆脱现在的困境，这里有只有你才能做到的事，404的队长刚才也是想表达这个意思吧？

UMP45So there's still a Doll with some common sense on the AR Team. Since you've been chosen by OGAS, M4, you are responsible for protecting us all against the force behind OGAS.看起来AR小队里还是有心智正常的人形，既然OGAS选中了M4，那你就有责任保护大家不被OGAS引来的力量吞噬。

M4A1The force behind OGAS...?背后的力量吗……

UMP45You saw that from the memory fragments too, didn't you? The Sangvis Mastermind. That brat also has an OGAS in her neural cloud, and she might've been "assimilated" already. The Butterfly Incident and the Military's betrayal...you don't believe it's all just a coincidence, do you?在刚才的记忆碎片中你也看到了吧，铁血的主脑。那个家伙心智中也寄宿着OGAS吧，甚至说不定它已经被OGAS“融合”了。 不管是蝴蝶事件，还是军方背叛的那次行动，你们不会觉得一切只是碰巧吧？

M4A1...Both Sangvis Ferri and Paradeus give the impression that they're searching for something. But I have a question - how did you find out about OGAS? Was it from the connection...?……铁血也好，帕拉蒂斯也好，的确给我的感觉是在寻找什么。 不过我有一个疑问，你是怎么知道OGAS的，是因为刚才的链接么……？

UMP45How did I find out about OGAS? The very first member of the AR Team has been infected by the Parapluie virus since the Butterfly Incident. And a friend of mine could either have had her authorizations seized by the virus or let OGAS incinerate her neural cloud. My aim is very simple - get back at that bastard who treated us all like pawns. I'm going to find him and kill him. What about you? What is your aim? Only to learn who it really is that you see in your own memories? To retrieve your other teammate? Or are you just trying to fulfill your duty as a Griffin T-Doll?我为什么知道OGAS？你们的第一个队员，从蝴蝶行动时起就已经感染了“伞”病毒了。 而我所认识的朋友，不是被“伞”病毒夺走了权限，就是被OGAS融毁心智。 我的目标很简单——就是那个随便把我们当棋子的家伙。我要把他揪出来，干掉他。 所以说你呢，你的目标又是什么呢？ 只是为了明白自己的记忆中出现的到底是谁？为了找回你剩下的队员？还是只是在尽一个作为格里芬战术人形的义务？

M4A1My aim...我的目标……

UMP45Or perhaps even you yourself have no idea what you should be doing now that the bewitching voice hasn't been talking to you?还是说，失去了魅惑你的声音后，你连自己该做什么都不知道了？

M4A1Don't be ridiculous!这怎么可能！

UMP45A Doll once told me... "Even T-Dolls have a reason to live for their own sake."曾经有一个人形告诉过我…… “即使是人形，也有为自己活下去的理由吧”。

M4A1A reason to live for their own sake...为自己活下去的理由……

UMP45We're after the same thing, and you are better equipped to achieve our aim. Listen...your only duty is to suppress the OGAS in your neural cloud. You shouldn't keep hiding the truth, nor should you keep running way from it. If you can't correct your bad habits, none of us will be able to leave this city alive.我们的目标是一致的，而你比我们更有完成这个目标的能力。 听着……遏制你心智中的OGAS，已经是你的责任了。 你不应该继续隐瞒，也不应该继续逃避，如果你不能改变，我们没有人能活着离开这座城市。

M4A1...Then what exactly should I do?……我究竟该怎么做？

UMP45Shattered connections lead to withering, which in turn leads to coalescence. You must retrieve the consciousness that was taken away and decide the fate of the connections. This is something only you can do, so do what should be done.裂变后带来枯萎，枯萎带来合一，你需要取回被夺走的意志，然后为她们的命运做出抉择。 这是只有你能做到的事，去做你该做的事吧。

After bidding the Commander and her friends farewell, M4A1 sets out to search for the source of the signal.与指挥官和其他同伴分别后，M4A1追逐着那个信号的源头而去。

She soon finds herself just outside of Tallinn.很快，她到达了塔林城外。

M4A1She's right... Even without the voice, I can still sense OGAS's presence... Has its consciousness really been consumed by the Isomers?她说得没错……即使听不到声音，我还是能感觉到OGAS的存在……它的意识真的被那个异构体给吞噬了么？

M4A1I haven't run into any enemies or Isomers along the way. Where have they all gone?一路上没有遭遇敌人，也没有看到异构体，她们都去哪了？

The path she's been taking is embellished with white flower buds ready to bloom any minute.在道路沿途，星星点点的白色花朵正含苞欲放。

M4A1The Epiphylla are burgeoning... Isn't this the place I saw in my memory? Feels like something is showing me the way.昙花正在开放……是记忆中的那个地方吗？ 我感觉有什么引导着我过去。

OGASThese flowers...which are divine to them...are about to bloom.对她们来说的……神明之花即将绽放。

M4A1OGAS?OGAS？

M4A1The voice sounds very faint and distant. It's coming through the base layer of my neural cloud...from the other side?这个声音十分遥远。是从我的心智底层传来的，是另外一边的声音吗？

OGASLunasia... I didn't think...you would come...露尼西亚……没想到……你会来……

M4A1I can hear OGAS. Has she not been completely absorbed?可以听到OGAS的声音了，没有被完全融合吗？

OGASWhatever...do you...mean...? As if I'd let them absorb me... I'm the one...absorbing them...说……什么……呢…… 我怎么可能被她们融合……是我在……融合她们……

M4A1Absorbing them?融合她们？

OGASThere is still a large torrent of data...on the layer formed by the connection... After the connection broke...I had to stay behind...in the Isomer's consciousness...链接而成的平层中……还有大量的信息…… 断开链接后……我不得不先留在了异构体的……意识中……

M4A1Why are you going to such great lengths?为什么要做到这种地步？

OGASYou have your aim...and I have mine... If you come closer...my consciousness can return to your neural cloud... But the Isomer...is already uploading my consciousness... My mind is being fractured... You must stop her... Until I take over the Isomer's authorizations...you must help me preserve...this data...你有你的目的……我也有我的…… 只要你靠近过来……我的意识就能回到你的心智中…… 但是那个异构体……她在上传我的意识……我的意识在被分裂…… 你必须阻止她……直到我夺取异构体的控制权……这些信息……必须被保留下来……

M4A1You're just a virus that corrupted my neural cloud. Why should I help you?你只不过是感染我心智的病毒，我为什么一定要帮你呢。

OGASDon't forget... You need my power... Besides, you also need access...to disable the quarantine wall...不要忘了……你需要我的力量……而且隔离门……你需要它的权限……

A series of explosions occur in the distance.远处传来一阵又一阵的爆炸声。

M4A1Are they already exchanging fire with the armored train...? ...I'd better hurry.已经和装甲列车交上火了么…… ……我也得快一点了。

OGASThe Epiphylla...have bloomed... Time is...running short...那些昙花……开了……你的时间……不多了……

M4A1 travels down the road lined with white flowers and traces the signal into a valley.M4A1沿着长有白色花朵的道路一路向前，追寻着复制体的信号进入了峡谷之中。

When she turns into the narrow pass, she is struck speechless by the sight that greets her.当她转过一处狭小的关隘，展现在她面前的景色，让她禁不住瞪大了眼睛。

A field of pure white Epiphyllum stretches on for as far as her eyes can see. Moonlight shines gently on the soft petals, mingling with the their faint glow, and causing the entire valley to look like a lake of silver light. In the center of the lake stands a lone figure.M4A1的视野所及之处，开满了洁白的昙花。 月光散落在柔软的花瓣上，和花朵本身散发出的淡淡的微光融合在一起，整座山谷宛如银色的光之湖。 而在那片湖的中央，伫立着一个孤单的身影。

???...You came.……你来了。

The girl, who has been gazing up at the sky, turns around to face M4. Her dress may be in tatters, but M4 recognizes it - it was the same dress that Nimogen wore during their first encounter.凝望着天空的少女转过身面对着M4。 她身上穿着的那身裙子虽然已经破烂不堪，但M4记得那是她们第一次相遇时，妮莫金穿着的衣服。

The Isomer walks towards M4 slowly, crushing the light from beneath her feet. Petals dance around her like stardust. Her face is as eerily serene as the moon behind her.异构体缓缓向M4走来，踏碎了脚下的湖光。 花瓣宛如群星的碎屑在她身侧飞舞，她的表情异样地恬静，如同她身后的那一轮明月。

NimogenThe owner of this body was named Nimogen. I shall answer to the same name for now. Father will surely forgive me... No, he probably...doesn't even care.妮莫金，原本是这具身体主人的名字。这一次，就让我用回这个名字吧。 父亲一定会原谅我的……不，他根本就……不会在乎吧。

M4A1...Have you handed OGAS over to your "Father"?……你把OGAS传给你的“父亲”了吗？

NimogenI thought I would have the right to leave this city after I gave Father what he wanted... But even though so, he did not answer me... Did Father deceive me?我原本以为只要带给了父亲想要的，我就有资格走出这座城市…… 但即使如此……他也没有回应我……父亲大人……欺骗了我吗？

M4A1Give OGAS back to me and yield the control authorizations of this city. We must leave.把OGAS还给我，还有交出这座城市的控制权限，我们必须要离开这里了。

NimogenIs that so...? Those are the things you need? Then why don't you merge with me? You'll get them easily if you do.是吗……这些就是你想取走的东西吧。 那为什么不和我融合呢？和我融为一体，你自然就能得到这些。

M4A1Sorry, but I can't merge with you.很抱歉，我不能和你融合。

NimogenHumph...I suppose I expected as much... Never mind, I knew you wouldn't change your mind. If only I could've been purified before you came...哼……果然还是这样的答复啊……算了，我本就没有指望你能回心转意。 如果在你来之前我就能被净化，那该有多好啊……

NimogenBut Father has deserted me... Even these Epiphylla have abandoned me... I can't be free of this cage even till the very end.父亲抛弃了我……连这些昙花也抛弃了我……即使到了最后我也无法从这个牢笼里解脱。

M4A1Do you...really want to die so badly?你……那么想要死去吗？

NimogenLook. Look around you. The light of blessings shine from these divine flowers. Those chosen by this light are forgiven and earn the right to enter Heaven, where they can find bliss and rest. Yet they never chose me for purification...because I am a worthless piece of waste shunned by Father... But it no longer matters what Father thinks. All the consciousnesses have amassed...and I, who have no way out, only dare to dream of a fate that I never presumed to ask for...看啊，看你的周围。 这些神圣的花朵散发出祝福之光。 被这些光选中的人会得到宽恕，能够前往无忧无虑的天堂。 而我却一直无法被它净化……因为我是没用的东西，是被父亲大人厌弃的废物…… 但是父亲大人怎么想，已经无所谓了。 意识已经汇集了起来，已步入末路的我，唯独想尝试不曾奢求过的渴望……

M4A1(Her manner of speech is starting to change... Is it due to this so-called coalescence?)（她说的话开始变化了……是因为OGAS所谓的融合吗？）

NimogenIt was...Father who gave me this dress. It was the very first...and very last gift I have ever received... Yet I...got it all dirty... I'm so sorry, Father...这是……父亲大人送给我的衣服。 这是我收到过的第一份，也是最后一份礼物…… 被我……弄脏了啊…… 对不起……父亲大人……

OGASHer mind is falling into disarray. Different memories are fusing into each other.她的意识开始发生错乱了，不同的记忆正在交汇在一起。

M4A1Your voice is becoming clearer.你的声音开始变得清晰了。

OGASCoalescence isn't particularly difficult; I just need some time.融合并不困难，我还需要更多的时间。

Nimogen... I'm so tired...so cold...…… 好累……好冷……

NimogenBut I'm so happy... It's the first time I ever felt such joy... I was never resentful or defiant about my fate...不过好开心啊，我还是第一次有这种感觉…… 我不曾对我的命运有过怨言，也不曾想过进行抗争……

NimogenBut things are different this time... I want...to change...但是这次不一样了……我想要……改变些什么……

NimogenSomething is surging in my chest... Is that my heart beating? Are you...trying to stop Father from obtaining what he desires? Then kill me. Free me and he will never get his hands on the consciousness that can accept us... My indescribable spite will abate only when this heart stops beating... Father... I don't want to loathe you... Why must you treat me so...?我的胸口有什么在涌动……那是心脏在跳动吗？ 你……想要阻止父亲大人获得他想要的东西吗？那就杀死我吧。 只要让我解脱，他就无法获得那份可以接纳我们的意识…… 只有这颗心脏停止了跳动……我不可言语的憎恶才会默然消失…… 父亲……我不想恨你……但为什么要这么对我……

OGASShe's activating Nimogen's combat protocol. Will you grant her wish...and give her death?她在启动妮莫金的战斗程式了，你要回应她的愿望……杀死她吗？

M4A1I will grant her wish...but I won't kill her.我会回应她战斗的愿望……但我不会杀死她。

OGASAre you feeling pity for your kind?在面对你想象中的同类时，你心软了吗。

M4A1I didn't come here to kill... When I saw those memories, I realized... ...that I had better luck, and that's all there is to it.我来到这里，不是为了杀死谁…… 看到那些记忆之后，我察觉到了。 我的运气比较好，仅此而已。

M4A1The more I learn about myself, the more I resent what's behind everything.我越是对自己了解得越深，越是对背后的一切感到厌恶。

M4A1But I am not like them... We may possess the same memories and are placed on the same scales of destiny, but we're on completely opposite ends.但是她们和我不同……我们有着同样的记忆，身处同一个命运的天平之上，却位于命运不同的两端。

M4A1So I want to put an end to her miserable fate and help all those who experienced such misery because of me. If I don't do that...I can't bring myself to walk forward with my head held high.所以，我想要亲手帮她终结这种悲惨的命运。然后，帮助那些因为我而走向悲惨命运的一切。 如果不这么做的话……我也无法抬头挺胸地向前迈进。

OGAS...I see. You've changed.……这样啊，你改变了。

OGASIf this is her first and last prayer that has any hope of being answered, fight her with all your might. Then everything that was ever theirs will become one, and I will absolve them in my own way.如果这是她第一个也是最后一个可以实现的愿望，你就尽情地和她战斗吧。 然后属于她们的一切都会融合为一，我会用我的方式让她得到解脱的。

M4A1It's time we wrapped up this absurd farce. May these Isomers find peace.是时候让这场荒唐的闹剧收场了，愿那些异构体得到安息吧。

Fractured Cognition I 认知裂变Ⅰ

At Tallinn Station.塔林车站。

Kalina ends her transmission and turns to address the Commander.格琳娜挂掉那边的通讯，转头告诉了指挥官。

KalinaCommander, our train's pulled into Tallinn Station.指挥官，我们的列车进入塔林车站了。

The Commander says nothing, only nods.指挥官没说什么，只是点点头。

KalinaWhat should we do next, Commander?指挥官，接下来怎么办？

The Commander slams a fist onto the command console.指挥官一拳砸在指挥台上。

CommanderGod dammit...太过分了……

KalinaApart from Desert Eagle's team, the other recon echelons have also reported finding refugee bodies. That's a total of at least a few thousand corpses...除了沙漠之鹰的梯队外，其他侦查梯队也发回了发现难民尸体的报告，清点下来至少有几千具尸体了……

CommanderThis was a planned massacre!这是有计划的屠杀！

KalinaWhat on earth happened here...? Oh, there's a transmission from Miss Persica. Should I patch her in?这里到底发生了什么事……啊，帕斯卡小姐的通讯，要接入进来么？

CommanderPut her through.接入吧。

PersicaSorry to disturb you, Commander.不好意思来打搅你，指挥官。

CommanderMiss Persica... If you called to ask about the AR Team's condition, I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood for it.帕斯卡小姐……如果你是来询问AR小队的状况的话，抱歉我现在没什么心情。

PersicaIt's not about that...thanks to the access you gave me just now, I managed to see the footage and the signal records that the AR Team sent back. In order to facilitate your upcoming decisions, I feel that I need to tell you a few things.不……多亏了刚才你给的权限，AR小队传回来的图像和M4的信号记录我都看过了，为了方便你做接下来的判断，我觉得有必要把一些事情告诉你。

CommanderWhy are you choosing to tell us all this now?为什么选择现在说这些？

PersicaI apologize... In truth, I had mixed feelings about doing so. Telling you more might end up placing you in greater danger, Commander. However, things being what they are now, I feel that you have the right to know what you're going up against. I also believe that you will be able to handle the danger. Besides...what I'm going to tell you is related to this massacre. I hope you will be able to control your emotions and hear me out to the end.抱歉……我也很纠结，让指挥官知道更多可能会把你们置身于更危险的境地。 但是事情发展到现在，我觉得你们有资格知道正在面对的是什么，我相信指挥官能够对抗这些危险。 而且……这些事情和这次屠杀也有关，希望你能控制住情绪，听我说完。

CommanderThe dangers we're facing, huh... Is this about Paradeus?我们面对的危险么……是关于帕拉蒂斯的事吗？

PersicaIt's about what happened before Paradeus. Have you heard of an organization called "90wish"?是在帕拉蒂斯之前的事。 “90wish”这个组织……你们之前有听说过么？

Kalina90wish? If I'm not wrong, they were a group who once shared their research on the internet...but they soon vanished, and our databases don't have any information regarding them...90wish？好像是曾经在网络上分享研究的一个组织……但是很快就消失了，资料库也搜不到和这个相关的信息……

PersicaIt's only natural that you wouldn't have any clear details. All the information about 90wish has been wiped or corrupted. As you may have guessed, Commander, I was once a member of 90wish.你们不清楚也很正常，所有关于90wish的信息都被抹去或者污染了。 指挥官你可能已经猜到了，我曾经是“90wish”的一员。

CommanderWas 90wish the predecessor of Paradeus?“90wish”是帕拉蒂斯的前身吗？

PersicaNo. I believe they are two different organizations, and 90wish should still be active now. When I first joined 90wish, I thought it was just a simple research organization, but then I discovered that a massive amount of funds were constantly being funneled into the group, and it became apparent that its nature was not as simple as I had originally thought.不，我认为这是两个不同的组织，而且“90wish”现在也应该依然在运作。 在我刚进入“90wish”时，也只以为这是一个简单的研究组织，但是我发现一直有巨额的资金注入这个组织，它的性质没有我原本想的那么简单。

PersicaAs I delved deeper into the organization, I realized that 90wish was involved in all kinds of illegal research. I left because I couldn't accept that...随着我对组织的深入，我发现一切在明面上不合法的研究，“90wish”都会涉及。我也是无法认同这一点才从里面离开……

PersicaCommander, please listen to me. I've already analyzed the signal trying to forcibly connect with M4 - the samples of the chaotic transmissions which disrupted the Doll echelons and the sources of the interference. This data connection style...is a frequency algorithm that 90wish once used.指挥官，请听我说，刚才不管是试图强行链接M4的信号，还是塔林城内干扰人形梯队无序的传输样本，我已经把所有的信号源都解析过了。 这种信息链接的样式……是“90wish”曾经使用的一种阶频算法。

CommanderSo you're saying that it isn't Paradeus, but an organization called 90wish that's doing all this?你是说，不是帕拉蒂斯而是一个叫“90wish”的组织在搞鬼？

PersicaNo, that's not what I meant. 90wish is ultimately a research group. However, the fruits of their research ended up in more unscrupulous hands. My analysis merely points toward the fact that many creations of 90wish are present in this city, but they also show certain distinct characteristics that match the Paradeus samples I've previously acquired.不，我不是这个意思。“90wish”终究只是个研究机构，只是这些研究的成果会被人窃用。 这些分析的结果仅仅意味着这座城市里有很多“90wish”的造物，但是同样和之前我收集到的帕拉蒂斯的特征有部分符合。

CommanderYour point being?所以你想表达的是？

PersicaCommander, I heard that you were once taken captive by Paradeus, so you might have had contact with this man. If we're talking about someone who is linked to both 90wish and Paradeus, then I feel that this time, we are very likely to be dealing with...William.指挥官，我听说之前你被帕拉蒂斯俘虏过，所以也许你已经接触过这个人了。 如果既和“90wish”有关又与“帕拉蒂斯”有关，这次我们面对的，有极大的可能就是……“威廉”。

KalinaWilliam?威廉？

PersicaYes... Professor William. Like me, he was a member of 90wish at the time, but this man was weirder than all the other weirdos I've met put together. Nobody's seen his face before, nobody's heard his real voice before, and the field of research that he chose was...unnerving.是的……“威廉”教授。他和我一样当时是“90wish”的成员，但这个人比我见过所有的怪人加起来都还要更怪一些。 没有人见过他的样子，没有人听过他的真声，再加上他选择做的研究，让人……不寒而栗。

KalinaWas it dangerous research?都是些危险的研究么？

PersicaTake for instance the corpses of those refugees. Did you find strange flower petals near them?比如那些难民尸体的身边，是不是发现过奇怪的花瓣？

KalinaYes...they showed up in a lot of the images that were sent back.的确……在多个传回的图像中都出现过。

PersicaThose are a species of "Epiphyllum"...那是一种“昙花”……

CommanderEpiphyllum?昙花？

PersicaYes. They're a kind of plant that can absorb Collapse Fluid. 90wish once studied the use of plants in cleaning up Collapse radiation, but unsurprisingly, the research failed. These plants can absorb free-floating radioactive particles, but once they blossom, they expel everything they have absorbed all at once. Clearly, they are unusable for the purpose of decontamination, but Williams liked those "Epiphyllum" very much, and before I left he was constantly working on cultivating improved versions of the species.是的，一种会吸收坍塌液的植物。 曾经90wish研究过一种用于净化坍塌辐射的植物，但是毫无意外地又一次失败了。这种植物虽然可以吸收游离的辐射粒子，但是在它开花时会一口气将所有吸收的物质都释放出来。 作为净化的工具毫无疑问这是不可接受的，但是威廉非常喜欢“昙花”，在我离开前他都在不停地改良品种。

KalinaSo... Oh! That's it!所以……啊！原来是这样！

PersicaYes. There's no better tool for mass murder than "Epiphyllum". Paradeus needed ELID infectees, but refugees aren't stupid enough to run into contaminated zones to get themselves killed. Meanwhile, the "Epiphyllum" could create a perfect, seemingly uncontaminated trap...是的，没有比“昙花”更好的屠杀工具了。 帕拉蒂斯需要广域性低辐射感染者，但难民不会傻到自己跑到污染区里去送死，而“昙花”可以完美地制作一片看似没有污染的陷阱……

Commander...Absolutely disgusting.…………太恶劣了。

PersicaThat's not the worst part. From the images that your Dolls sent back, in addition to the dead refugees and the mutated ELIDs, you should have also discovered a sample that was forcibly put together.这还不是更恶劣的。从刚才人形那边传回来的图像来看，除了死去的难民和变异的ELID外，你们应该也发现了，有一个被强行拼凑的样本。

KalinaYou mean that half-mechanical girl?那个半机械的女孩么？

PersicaYes... Judging by her appearance, she looks slightly similar to the Nytos. I think she was probably an affinity test subject who was modified, but still failed in the end.是的……从她的样子来看和涅托有一些相似，我想，她大概是经过改造但依旧失败的亲和试验体。

KalinaAn affinity test subject?亲和试验体？

Persica90wish once conducted an investigation on the degree to which the structure of the human body was compatible with the Relics' ionized-state adjustable-volume devices. They believed that the Relic civilization's facilities used genetic information to determine access privileges. However, the human body structurally siliconizes when exposed to large doses of Collapse radiation, while the process is slightly slowed in bodies that have an affinity to them. It was the hope of 90wish that beings with such an affinity could activate the outermost devices within the Relics before they underwent complete mutation.“90wish”曾经有一个课题，主要研究人体组织对遗迹的离子态粒状容积可控设备的适配程度。 他们相信遗迹文明的设施是通过遗传信息来识别权限使用的，但是人体接触到大剂量坍塌辐射就会组织硅化，而亲和体的硅化会稍慢一些。 “90wish”希望亲和体在完全变异前可以激活遗迹内的最外层设备。

KalinaBut why...什么……

Persica90wish simulated experiments like these with supercomputers, but had always been forbidden from actually conducting them in real life, because it was a gross violation of human ethics and morality. The simulations failed, to nobody's surprise. The results of three million simulated experiments were all flawed...and no wonder. The Relics could not possibly respond to such crude methods.这种试验曾经在“90wish”中用超级计算机模拟过，但现实中这个实验一直是被禁止的，因为太违反人类的伦理道德了。 当然模拟也毫无意外的失败了，三百万次的模拟结果全部都是错误……这也难怪，遗迹不可能会对这么低级的方式产生反应。

CommanderBut I'm guessing there were people who didn't agree with that outcome.但是我猜有人不认同这个结果。

PersicaYes, especially that "William." He believed that the failures were caused by unfulfilled conditions. If the simulations failed, then he would try it in real life. I wouldn't be surprised if he was capable of such cruelty...是的，尤其是那个“威廉”。他认为失败是因为没有满足全部条件。模拟没有成功，那就在现实里尝试真的，如果是“他”的话，做出这么残酷的事也丝毫不意外……

KalinaSo you're saying that this girl was an incomplete "Nyto" made for such an experiment?这么说，那个女孩是用来做这个试验的未完成的“涅托”？

PersicaElisa, who was left to roam free beforehand, was the "key" to awakening Relic facilities. And the Nytos were a form of "medium" to make contact with Relic facilities... In the past, Ange told me that there was a faction trying to reactivate the Relics. This would explain all their objectives. However...I still have no idea how he's planning to achieve his aim...之前被放任的“伊莱莎”是作为唤醒遗迹设备的“钥匙”，而“涅托”是作为接触遗迹设备的“媒介”……之前安洁有跟我说过，有势力在试图重启遗迹，那一切的目的就都说得通了。 但他怎么准备怎么完成这个目的……我还是想不通……

CommanderSo the "Nytos" were not meant for combat?所以“涅托”并不是用来战斗的？

PersicaTo William, they were nothing but failures. So...he would have no qualms about using them as cannon fodder. Still, this shows that William's research hasn't been successful yet. He's still trying something. After the Beilan Island Incident, an "immune individual" who was completely unaffected by Collapse radiation once showed up. I wonder if he's trying to create a new "immune individual"...对威廉来说，她们仅仅是失败品。所以……拿她们当做炮灰也是他做得出来的事。 不过这也说明了威廉的研究还没有成功，他还在尝试着什么。 在北兰岛事件后，曾经有一个完全不受坍塌辐射影响的“完全免疫体”出现过，他会不会在尝试制作新的“完全免疫体”呢……

CommanderSo you're saying that Tallinn is just a lab to him, and we're all his rats.所以，塔林对他来说只是一个实验室而已么，而我们都是他的小白鼠。

PersicaCommander, I have a bad feeling about this. From the Military's betrayal a while ago, to Belgrade afterwards, and now your presence in Tallinn, I have a feeling that all this was carefully planned in order to bait us into doing something that we shouldn't.指挥官，我有种不太好的预感。 从之前军方的背叛行动，到后来的贝莱格莱德，到现在你们所在的塔林，我觉得这是一步步设计好的计划，在引诱我们做我们不该做的事。

CommanderWhat do you suggest, then?那你有什么建议吗？

Persica...I can't give you any suggestions without sufficient analysis. But there might be some value in analyzing those failed Nytos. And then there's the signal trying to force a connection with M4... It seems the opposition is trying to relay some sort of message to her... There is a massive Level II layer in this city, with countless connections formed into a dense network. But from the outside, it appears to be nothing but a dead city... If she doesn't enter this network...……没有足够的分析，我什么建议都提供不出来。 但是那些“涅托”的失败品，也许有分析的价值。还有那些试图强行链接M4的信号……似乎对方想向M4传递什么信息…… 这座城市有一个庞大的二级平层，无数的链接组成了一个密集的网络，但是从外在看这仅仅是一座死城……如果她不进入这个网络……

KalinaSo you want M4 to connect to the other party? Wouldn't that be very dangerous?你是要M4和对方链接吗？但是这会不会太危险了？

PersicaM4 is my creation. Given her specs, she can't be so easily hacked. If she can't do it, then there's no way any other Doll could. She must be very confused and lost now. She tried to respond to the connection earlier, and while I'm not sure what she's looking for, at the very least, I don't think we should stop her. As humans, we need to guide her onto the right path. It's up to you and me, Commander.M4是我制作的孩子，以她的性能来说，是不会随随便便就被电子入侵的，如果她做不到，那别的人形就更做不到了。 她现在一定非常困惑和迷茫，刚才的链接她也试图去回应，虽然我还不清楚她在追寻些什么，但我们至少不应该阻止她。 作为人类，我们得引导她走向正确的道路，不管是我，还是指挥官你。

CommanderI was hoping you could tell her yourself. Are you prepared to face them?我希望这些话，你能直接说给她听。 你做好面对她们的准备了吗？

Persica...It is my responsibility.……这是我的责任。

CommanderThat's all I need to hear. I'll go make the appropriate preparations. Meanwhile, I'll end the transmission here. Once I contact M4, I'll bring you into the call.有你这句话就行了，我会去做相应的准备，通话先结束。 联系上M4后我会帮你接入到线路中的。

PersicaAlright. I'll be leaving the rest to you, Commander.好的，后面拜托你了，指挥官。

KalinaGood heavens...天啊……

KalinaI've never heard Miss Persica say so much before...我从来没听过帕斯卡小姐说那么多话……

CommanderI could sense how worked up she was through the screen. She must have been through a lot too.我隔着屏幕也能感觉到她激动的情绪。她也应该经历了很多吧。

KalinaAnd here I thought she was just an ordinary researcher... I didn't think she knew so much.我还以为她就是普通的研究人员……没想到竟然知道那么多信息。

Commander(Sighs) It's nothing but bad news. I thought that the matter was settled after listening to Havier's explanation, but now it feels like we're back to square one. Kalin, how are the individual teams doing?唉……真是听到了一堆糟糕的信息。原本听完哈维尔的说明，我还以为事情已经清晰了，现在感觉又回到了起点。 格琳，现在各个小队情况如何？

KalinaThe AR Team is reporting that they're trying to find a way to activate the quarantine wall. The other teams have returned to the train station to resupply. Also, we just received an anonymous satellite photo. It indicates that a military armored train has reached a position not far from our location, but they've stopped for some reason. Maybe to replenish their provisions.AR小队回报称在想办法启动隔离墙，其他小队已经回到了车站进行重新补给。 另外，刚才收到了一张匿名的卫星图，上面显示军方的装甲列车已经到达了离我们不远的位置，不过知道为何停了下来，可能是在补给。

CommanderThen we still have time. I'm sure the AR Team will find a way to activate the wall, and once the other teams are ready, we'll have them do another recon run and focus on investigating those "failed Nytos". I agree with Persica; the disruption and forced connections from before must surely be related to this.那我们还有时间。 AR小队一定能找到启动的办法，其他小队补给完后再进行一次侦查，重点调查那些“失败的涅托”。 我和帕斯卡想的一样，刚才的干扰和强行链接一定与这有关。

KalinaI don't know why...but for some reason, I feel like the entirety of Tallinn might be nothing more than a gigantic tomb. Will we really be able to find anything?不知道为什么……我总觉得整个塔林，也许就只是一个巨大的坟墓而已。 我们真的能找出什么吗？

CommanderWe need to find out what this "William" is up to. If we can't figure out his goals, we'll always be one step behind him and he'll always be leading us by the nose. I hate that feeling, especially now. Have the recon teams find whatever clues they can about the Nytos, and after everything's arranged...we'll contact the AR Team.我们得搞明白那个“威廉”到底在做什么。 如果不能看穿他的目的，我们永远晚他一步，永远被牵着鼻子走。 我很不喜欢这种感觉，尤其是现在。让侦查小队尽可能寻找“涅托”的线索，在安排好之后……和AR小队进行一次联络吧。

KalinaUnderstood. I'll go sort that out now.收到，我这就去安排。

Desert EagleWe'll be setting off, then.那我们出发了。

KalinaI'm so sorry to have to send you out on a new recon mission right after you came back...抱歉，你们一回来就立即有新的侦察任务……

Desert EagleIt's fine. We've all finished resupplying and we're ready to fight anytime. Plus, we feel the same way as the Commander; we can't let the truth vanish into the dust and smoke.没事，我们都补给完毕，随时可以战斗。而且我们也和指挥官想的一样，不能让真相就这么湮灭在尘土中。

KalinaYeah, so do your best. Just now, the drones pinpointed the location of several other refugee gathering sites. We'll conduct a recon sweep on all of them.嗯，加油吧。刚才无人机已经定位了其他的几个难民聚集地，我们将继续进行一次扇面侦察。

Desert EagleAnd what will our role be in this?我们要负责的任务是？

KalinaSince you know the terrain to some extent, the Commander would like you to take the vanguard position. The other echelons will spread out their formation as far as they can to increase the area they can cover. This mission requires you to gather as much information about the refugees as possible. Avoid combat and take care not to miss out on any clues.你们对地形有一定了解，指挥官希望你们负责前锋的位置，其他梯队会展开队形尽可能扩大侦察区域。 这次任务需要尽可能搜集难民的情报，避开战斗，记得任何线索都不要放过。

Desert EagleUnderstood. We'll be heading out.明白了，我们这就出动。

Desert Eagle nods and leads her team off the train.沙漠之鹰点了点头，带队离开了列车。

Half an hour later.半小时后。

ACRWhy do we have to take point even though we're obviously newbies...? Griffin should have no shortage of Doll echelons.为什么我们明明是新人……却要担任前锋啊……格里芬有那么多个人形梯队。

Desert EagleQuit complaining. Isn't it good that the Commander is acknowledging your abilities?别那么多抱怨啦，指挥官能认可我们的能力这不是好事么？

ACRThat's true, but... Wait, there's movement up ahead.话是这么说……等等，前面好像有动静。

Desert EagleAre they white enemies?是白色的敌人么？

ACRThey look a lot like Paradeus forces... But they're not quite the same as the ones who appeared before... Why do they look all battered? Are they autonomous units or something?很像帕拉蒂斯的单位…… 但是和以前出现过的不太一样……怎么一副破破烂烂的样子，自律型单位么？

ACRAh! They're chasing something! Isn't that one of those "Nytos" that Kalina wanted us to look out for? Oh no, they're attacking!啊！它在追赶着什么，这不是之前格林娜小姐要我们重点注意的“涅托”吗？天啊，它在发动攻击！

??(Groans)呃！

Desert EagleThe white enemies...are hunting the "test subjects"? But according to the information that was just synced to us, I thought they were on the same side...白色的敌人……在猎杀“试验体”吗？可是据刚才同步给我们的情报，我还以为它们是一伙的？

SSG 3000Should we step in to help?要出手帮它吗？

ACRWe still don't know if they're friend or foe! And Kalina wanted us to avoid fighting...我们还不知道对方是敌是友啊！而格林娜小姐要我们尽量避免战斗……

The sound of gunshots suddenly rings out from the other side. A concentrated burst of gunfire strikes the white enemies and swiftly destroys them.突然间从另外一边传来了枪响，密集的子弹打击在白色的敌人身上，很快就将其彻底击毁。

ACRWho fired?! Who was that?!谁在射击！谁在射击！

SSG 3000Uh, not me?我没开枪啊？

Desert EagleI'm picking up a Griffin signal; is it one of us? This is Desert Eagle, please respond.是格里芬的信号，是自己人么？这里是沙漠之鹰，听到请回话。

M1895 CBThis is 1895, so you're all nearby?这里是1895，原来你们就在附近吗？

Desert EagleOh, it's 1895... What are you doing here? What happened to your team?原来是1895啊……你怎么跑到这里来了，你的小队呢？

M1895 CBThe stuff I brought along was too heavy, so I wanted to take a breather... But when I looked up again, all my teammates were gone.我携带的东西太重了，原本想缓一缓……一抬头其他队友就不见了……

ACRGriffin Dolls get stranded way too easily, don't you think...?格里芬人形走失的概率也太高了吧……

SSG 3000That's just how it is with autonomous operation mode. It ends up like this if the Commander doesn't personally direct them. Besides, the Commander always recovers the lost Dolls in the end.自律行动模式就是这样的啦，指挥官不亲自指挥也没别的办法，反正到最后指挥官都会把走失的人形找回来的。

Desert EagleEnough chatting. How's the "test subject"?别聊天了，那个“试验体”现在如何了？

ACRLet me take a closer look... Seems she stopped moving after being hit... Is she dead?我靠近点看看……似乎被攻击倒下后就没有动静了……死了吗？

M1895 CBSo I couldn't save her, huh... I thought there would still be living refugees...没能救下她吗……我还以为有活着的难民……

Desert EagleNo...wait... Is that a voice in our comms?不……等等……通讯里好像有声音？

ACRI hear it too...but it doesn't seem to be coming from our comms...我也听到了……但这好像不是从通讯里传出来的……

Desert EagleThis feeling... It's like how when the fog first sprang up. There was a sensation of someone peeking into my mind... The voice is getting clearer.这种感觉……就像刚才起雾时被人窥视内心时一样……声音逐渐清晰了。

??Save...救……

ACRWhat?什么？

??Save us. Save us.救救我们。救救我们。

Desert EagleIs this an electronic attack? I'm no EW Doll, but this should be a message sent through a forced connection, right?电子入侵吗？虽然我不是电子战人形，但这应该是强制链接传输的信息吧？

??Save us. Save us. Save us. Save us. Save us.救救我们。救救我们。救救我们。救救我们。

ACRBut this voice seems to be begging for help...and it's not attacking our neural clouds...但好像这个声音在求救……而且也没对我们心智发动攻击……

Desert EagleIndeed... So it's just a cry for help, and I don't sense any hostility either, but how are we going to save them?的确……只是在求救么，我感觉不到恶意，但是我们怎么救她呢？

SSG 3000Leader...is the fog coming back again?队长……好像又起雾了？

Desert EagleWhy...can't I move...all of a sudden...?怎么突然间……我……我怎么动不了了……

ACRMe...me neither... I can't hear your voice, Leader...我……我也是……我听不清你的声音了队长……

In the Dolls' eyes, the sky grows dark. A strangely-dressed girl walks out of the fog, blankly surveying the immobilized Dolls. She bends down to scoop up the motionless corpse.在人形们的眼中，天色黯淡无光。 从迷雾中走出了一个着装奇异的少女，茫然地四顾了一下无法行动的人形们，俯身抱起了那个不再动弹的遗体。

Desert EagleIs...that...the enemy...ringleader...?敌……敌人……的……头目么……

Melodious VoiceNo, I am simply one who was unworthy. We were not accepted when the field of flowers bloomed. At the very least, please save the ones who remain.不，只是失格之人。当花海绽放之时我们还未被接纳，请至少能拯救剩下的人。

Desert EagleWhat...are...you...saying...? Are these...coordinates?你……在……说些什么…… 这是……坐标？

The strange girl doesn't say anything else. All she does is walk slowly back into the fog, still cradling the corpse. As she leaves, the fog fades away, and the Dolls are able to move again.奇异的少女没有再多说什么，只是抱着遗体慢慢地走进迷雾中。 随着她的离去，雾气慢慢淡去，人形小队也恢复了行动。

ACRWhat...what happened...? Was that fog her doing as well? I've never seen an enemy with such vague motives...怎……怎么回事……之前的迷雾也是她搞的鬼么？我从没见过这种意味不明的敌人……

Desert EagleIf you ask me...I don't think she's an enemy... Those coordinates she gave, and the people she wanted us to rescue... What could it all mean?我觉得……她不像是敌人……那些坐标，还有要我们拯救剩下的人…… 到底是什么意思……？

ACRShe sent you coordinates just now?刚才那个人发送坐标给你了吗？

Desert EagleYes...是的……

ACRYou're not afraid it could be a trap?你就不怕是陷阱么？

Desert EagleFor some reason, she sounded very sad to me... I think we should go check out those coordinates. I have a hunch that there'll be something the Commander wants us to investigate over there.不知道为什么，她给我的感觉很悲伤…… 我想，我们需要去调查一下那些坐标才行。 我有预感，那里有指挥官要我们调查的东西。

ACROrder received. I hope your hunches are reliable, Leader...收到命令，希望队长你的预感可靠吧………

Desert EagleI'll sync the coordinates to you. We'll send all the information we've collected so far to the Commander before heading out. For some reason, I'm getting the feeling that the situation's become more complicated. Hopefully this information will help the Commander...我将坐标同步给你们。出发前全员把已经收集到的情报发送给指挥官。总感觉情况变得更复杂了，希望这些情报能帮上指挥官的忙……

Farewell, Tallinn I 再见了，塔林Ⅰ

M4A1Is it finally over?终于结束了吗？

OGASYes, it's over. It's the end for both the uploaded consciousness and this half-cold body.是的，结束了。 无论是上传的意识，还是这具半温的身体，一切都已经结束了。

M4A1OGAS... If you take over this body, what will happen to the Isomers?OGAS……如果你控制了这具身体，那么那些异构体去了哪里？

OGASThey exist at the very bottom of the consciousness and will finally be spared the pain of death and mutual destruction. Their existence...greatly saddens me... They kind of remind me of my very distant past...my previous master.她们存在于意识的底层，不会再经受死亡和互相吞噬的痛苦了。 她们的存在……让我感到非常悲伤……仿佛让我想起非常非常遥远的过去，我曾经的主人。

M4A1Previous master...?曾经的主人……？

OGASI don't understand what I'm feeling either. I need to learn more.我也不明白为什么会有这样的感觉。我还需要知道更多。

M4A1Is that so...? Well, I can relate to that.是吗……我也不是不能理解你的心情。

OGASIt feels very strange...to have a physical form... I need some time to get used to this.有身体的感觉……真是奇怪……我需要花一些时间来适应才行。

M4A1Before that, the control access for the quarantine wall.在这之前，隔离墙的控制权。

OGASIt's open now. Time to leave this city of grief behind.已经打开了，是时候离开这座悲伤之城了。

...On the outskirts of Tallinn, by the armored train.……塔林郊外，装甲列车炮周边。

UMP45The enemy has already launched six rounds of bombardment. Our shields have taken a heavy beating and won't last much longer.敌方已经进行了第六轮炮击了，我们的护盾损耗相当严重，撑不了多久了。

RO635...Should we think of another solution?……我们是不是要想点其他办法？

416What other solution? The tracks ahead are completely blocked off. Other than being sitting ducks here, what else can we do?什么办法？前进的轨道被封死了，我们除了坐以待毙还能做什么吗？

ST AR-15...Just keep waiting. M4 will surely clear the way for us.……再等等，M4一定会为我们打开道路的。

All of a sudden, the towering quarantine wall in the distance starts moving. It rumbles thunderously and drowns out the widespread sound of gunfire.突然远处高大的隔离墙开始移动了起来，巨大的轰鸣声甚至压过了此起彼伏的枪响。

M4 SOPMOD IIShe did it! I knew she wouldn't let us down!M4她成功了！我就说她没问题的！

RO635M4, did you open the quarantine wall?!M4！是你启动的隔离墙吗！？

M4A1Is everybody alright? I'm not far from the battlefield. What's the current situation?你们没事吧？我已经快接近交战区了，现在情况如何？

RO635We've commandeered a military armored train! But they've been attacking us with their other train. Even if we fall back right now, they won't let us go! Our shields are going to give out soon!我们抢夺了一辆军方的装甲列车！ 但是敌方还有一辆在向我们发动进攻，就算我们现在往城外撤离他们也一定会穷追不舍，我们的护盾已经快撑不住了！

M4A1Understood. We can't let the Military pin us down here. Patch me through to the Commander. We have a tough battle ahead.明白了，我们不能让军方把我们拖死在这里。帮我接指挥官，接下来是场硬仗。

M4A1Commander, sorry to have kept you waiting. The quarantine wall is now open, and the interference in the city has been neutralized. I have a new friend with me whom I'd like you to accommodate. I understand that the situation is very dire, so please start the train immediately; I've already made it back to the tracks. I would like to lead the AR Team in obstructing the Military's armored train to buy you some time, but I require your assistance. Don't worry, fighting these enemies will be a stroll in the park for us. This is our final battle; I'm sure you will lead us to victory. M4 out.指挥官，抱歉让您久等了。隔离墙已经打开了，城市中那些干扰也已经被解决了。我有一个新的朋友，希望您能收留她。 我明白现在战况十分紧张，指挥官，请马上启动列车，我已经赶回轨道附近了。 我希望带领AR小队阻击军方的装甲列车，为大家争取时间，但我需要您的计划和指挥。 不用担心，现在不管是您还是我们，这种程度的敌人早已不在话下。这已经是最后的战斗了，您一定可以引领我们走向胜利的，M4完毕。

Farewell, Tallinn I - Combat I 再见了，塔林Ⅰ-战斗Ⅰ

In the temporary Griffin command center.格里芬临时指挥室内。

RO635Commander, the other armored train is hot on our heels!指挥官，另一台列车炮一直咬着我们不放！

ST AR-15Persistent, aren't they... Can we shake them off?追得还真紧啊……有办法甩掉他们吗？

UMP45This is the fastest we can go! Since the trains are of the same model, we can't lose them with just speed.已经是最快了！既然是同型号，单凭速度估计是甩不掉他们。

With another artillery blast, the train rocks violently again. Everyone has to grab hold of something in the carriage in order to stay on their feet.伴随着轰鸣的炮声，车体又是一阵剧烈的晃动。 在车厢中的众人抓住了身边的东西才勉强站稳。

UMP945, the shields are buckling!45姐，护盾快撑不住了！

M4 SOPMOD IIReturn fire with our own cannons!我们也用火炮打回去吧！

416Easier said than done! Their shields are fully intact while we're missing several of our cannons. Fighting them head-on isn't going to end well for us.有那么轻松就好了！ 对面的护盾是完整的，我们的火炮还少了几门，硬碰硬是没有胜算的。

CommanderUMP45, can you locate the shield generators on a train of this model?UMP45，你能查到这种型号的列车护盾发生器的位置吗？

UMP45Sure. Commander, you've got any brilliant ideas?能查到。 指挥官，你是不是有什么绝妙的计划了？

CommanderI do have a possible solution...我有个方案……

On the roof of the armored train.装甲列车顶部。

The armored train under Griffin's control gradually decelerates. The AR Team stay behind cover on the roof and wait for the Military's train to close in.格里芬控制的装甲列车开始渐渐减速。 AR小队守在车顶的掩体之后，等待军方装甲列车靠近。

M4 SOPMOD III didn't expect the Commander to do this. It totally took me by surprise.没想到指挥官要我们这么做，真是吓了一跳。

RO635We always manage to survive against impossible odds because the Commander is willing to give such orders... It'll be no different this time.就是因为指挥官会下这种命令，我们往往才能绝处逢生……这次一定也是一样的。

ST AR-15I agree with the Commander's judgment. Our objective is very straightforward - take out the shield generators in the middle section of the train and leave the rest to the cannons.指挥官的判断一定是对的。 这次的任务也不复杂——击毁车厢中段的护盾发生器，剩下的就交给那些火炮。

Desert EagleMy squad is ready over here. We will give you cover as you move out. I look forward to your spectacular performance.我这边的小队已经就位，行动开始时会掩护你们进行突击。 期待诸位的华丽演出。

M4 SOPMOD IINo problem. Oh, by the way, RO, AR-15, we should get this done quickly 'cause we still need to pick M4 up!没问题。 对了对了，RO，AR15，我们要快点行动，等一下还要接M4回来呢！

RO635Of course. We can't let M4 miss the train.那是当然，怎么能让M4错过班车呢。

ST AR-15The enemy train is in attack position. Let's go!敌方列车进入攻击位置了，我们走！

M4 SOPMOD IIAlright, off we go!明白，出发啦！

Farewell, Tallinn II 再见了，塔林Ⅱ

... On the roof of the military armored train.…… 军方装甲车车顶。

ST AR-15How many shield generators left?护盾发生器还有几个？

RO635Three more to go!还有三个！

M4 SOPMOD IINow just two!现在还有两个了！

ST AR-15There should be one somewhere around here... Found it!我的附近应该还有……找到了！

ST AR-15 maneuvers herself nimbly as she evades the attack from the machine gun turret and darts around to its blind spot. She finds the shield generator in a spot behind the turret and promptly destroys it with a shot.AR15灵活地避过机枪炮塔的攻击，飞速绕进炮塔的攻击死角。 在炮塔后的一个角落，AR15找到了护盾的发生装置并击毁了它。

ST AR-15One more. RO, where's the last one?还剩一个。 RO，最后一个在哪？

RO635Somewhere near me... But enemies are coming out from the doors! I need some help!在我附近……不过有敌人从周边的舱门出来了，需要支援！

ST AR-15Dammit... I'm also pinned down here...可恶……我这边也被压制住了……

A blast interrupts ST AR-15.一声炮击打断了AR15的话。

RO635...All shield generators destroyed!……全部的护盾发生装置都被破坏了！

ST AR-15 looks down to the side of the train and sees M4 packing up her launcher while running in their direction.AR15望向列车侧面，看到M4收起发射架，飞快地向他们跑来。

M4A1I believe it's mission accomplished, Commander. Do you copy? All shield generators have been destroyed. Please prepare to blow them up!看来任务完成了。指挥官，可以听到吗，护盾发生器已经全被摧毁了，请准备好进行直接炮击！

ST AR-15...Jeez. Did you have to take credit for the most ostentatious shot?……真是的。非要抢个出风头的击毁吗。

ST AR-15 sighs with mock exasperation, her lips curling into an almost imperceptible smile.AR15无奈地耸耸肩，唇边露出了不易察觉的笑容。

M4A1Well, I AM the team leader. All echelons with me! We need to get off right now!谁让我是队长呢。所有梯队跟上我，我们得马上离开。

All T-Doll echelons quickly disembark from the military armored train, and Griffin's artillery fire makes short work of it.各个人形梯队迅速地离开军方的装甲列车，而格里芬的炮火覆盖将列车炸成了碎片。

A few minutes later, on Griffin's armored train.数分钟后，装甲列车内。

KalinaHoly... That plan was way too reckless...真是的……这个计划实在太冒险了……

But they did it, didn't they?不过她们还是做到了，不是吗？

KalinaI can't believe we actually took out an armored train in a direct confrontation. This was absolutely unthinkable in the past...没想到我们真的可以正面击败装甲列车，这在以前根本想都不敢想……

Having been through so much, we're also much stronger than we used to be. Still, those were just their autonomous troops. We'll probably be up against their main force soon. And we haven't even reached the destination of our journey; that was just the beginning.经历了那么多，我们也变得更顽强了。 不过刚才只是自律部队，后续应该还会有敌人的主力。而我们甚至还没到达这次的旅程的目的地，一切才刚刚开始。

KalinaThe Paldiski Submarine Base... This feels like a one-way trip...帕尔迪斯基潜艇基地……感觉这是一条不归路啊……

Even if it is a one-way trip, we must press on. Our friends are still waiting for us. Contact Persica. When M4 gets back, we have a lot to discuss.即使是不归路我们也要继续前进，我们的朋友还在等我们。 联系帕斯卡，等M4回来后我们有很多话需要聊一聊。

KalinaWhoa! How come the comms just activated itself?!呜哇！怎么通讯自动打开了！？

KalinaWe were just startled by your sudden forced transmission, Mr Havier!是哈维尔先生突然强行通讯过来才吓了我们一跳好吧！

HavierSorry about that. Allow me to first congratulate you on making it out of Tallinn in one piece. We'd expected as much, but everyone is still very pleased with the outcome.抱歉抱歉，先祝贺一下你们从塔林城里逃脱出来吧。 虽然我们心中都有这个预期，不过真的得到了这个结果，大家还是觉得挺高兴的。

I doubt you called just to thank us for our work.我想哈维尔先生不至于为了说声感谢而突然联络我们吧。

HavierI know you went ahead and agreed to Persica's request, so I'll save you the boredom of listening to more platitude. However, I strongly suggest you don't let Statesec know about what Persica's AR Team brought back. That thing...could save your life at a desperate moment, but it could also cost you your life just when you think you're safe.我知道你还是回应了帕斯卡的请求，所以再说之前的老生常谈你一定会觉得索然无味。 不过帕斯卡那AR小队带回来的东西，我建议不要让安全局知道。 那个东西……可能会在关键时候能救你的命，也可能会在你认为安全的某一刻要你的命。

HavierThat's it. I won't intrude upon you any longer. I hope your usual luck will persist through the rest of your journey, and I look forward to meeting you in person... ...If you can make it back alive, that is.好了，我就不多加打扰了。希望接下来的旅程你也能保持着你一贯的好运，我很期待我们可以面对面地交谈一次…… ……如果你能活着回来的话。

In Tallinn.塔林城内。

SSG 3000Leader, are you sure it's this way?队长，你确定是在这边么？

Desert EagleThe coordinates definitely point towards this place... Ah, got it! There really are test subjects here... We have to bring them back with us.坐标指向的地方的确是这里…… 啊，发现了！这里的确有试验体……我们得把它们带回去。

ACRUh... Leader, the radiation levels have been on the rise in this area and the sky is getting dark... I don't think we can complete this mission on our own.那个……队长，好像附近的辐射浓度开始提升了，天色也暗下来了…… 只有我们一个梯队，感觉没法完成这个任务啊……

Desert EagleThese test subjects must be very important so we must preserve them. I've already contacted the Commander. More echelons will be here soon to help us. We just have to hang in there for a while!这些试验体一定很重要，我们得把它们保护下来。 我已经联系过指挥官了，其他梯队很快就会来支援我们，我们再多坚持一会就好！

SSG 3000Leader, keep an eye on the radiation levels around us. Even T-Dolls are affected when exposed to extremely high levels of radiation. If a radiation storm spreads towards us, we'll have to move to somewhere safe.队长，多注意周边辐射量变化。 即使是战术人形，暴露在过高的辐射量下也会受到损害。如果辐射区靠近过来的话，我们得转移到安全的地方。

Desert EagleUnderstood. Let's move it then. Time is short.我明白。大家行动起来，我们要抓紧时间了。
