Tempering II 回火II

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. If you must engage the enemy while they benefit from heavy fire support, pay attention to the warning markers representing the enemy bombardment and move or retreat your Dolls in a timely fashion.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。 对于不得不需要在敌方重火力支援下消灭的敌人，战斗内可以注意留心重火力支援的覆盖范围，及时的移动或撤退人形。

Silvering II 镀银II

Tip - Using Goliaths to destroy Thoroughfares not only turns them into roadblocks, but doing so when enemy units are on them will also deplete their fighting strength, so take care to spring your trap at an opportune time.Tip：使用歌利亚炸毁要道除了能造成堵路的效果以外，在合适的时机埋伏还能对路过要道的单位起到消耗战力的作用，请注意合理利用。

Silvering III 镀银III

Tip - Goliaths can be placed on the Large Water Valves and they will detonate on the next turn, flooding the surrounding area. Fighting in flooded areas will affect both friendly and hostile echelons to a certain extent, but some high-speed enemies will have a particularly significant disadvantage.Tip：歌利亚可以安置到大型水阀所在点上，下回合后自动引爆，造成浸水的区域效果。 浸水区域内的敌我双方在战斗中都会受到一定程度的影响，但是用于处理部分高速移动的敌人有着显著的效果。

Critical Angle EX-I 临界角EX-I

You can even play Sokoban in Girls' Frontline! Ahem, just kidding. Tip - The echelon can only move EMP grenades in a straight line. For example, if they stand above the EMP grenade, they can only move it down by one node.在少前，你甚至可以玩推箱子。咳咳，我说笑而已的。 Tip：梯队只能沿着直线向前的方式移动EMP手雷。例如站在上方只能将EMP手雷移动至下方一格位置。

Labyrinthine Defense · Stage 3-30 -Point90663 谜境守卫 · 3-30-Point90663

Tip - EMP Grenades can immobilize individual enemy units for 1 turn and decrease their combat effectiveness. Yet for some unknown reason, EMP Grenades and Goliaths can only be used on the upper-right portion of the map and along the railway. In addition, picking the "Easy Mode" command at any time during a friendly turn will cause the Military reinforcements to gradually decrease in strength. Selecting the "Stay In Hell" command will maintain the current difficulty for this mission and prevent you from switching to "Easy Mode".Tip：EMP手雷可以造成敌方单体目标1回合移动不能以及战斗能力下降的效果。 但是由于不明原因，本次战役中，EMP手雷以及歌利亚均只能作用于地图铁路的右上部分地区以及铁路沿线上。 此外，战役内的我方回合随时都通过选择Easy Mod指令使本次战役的军方后续增员能力下降。 若选择Stay in hell指令则将会维持目前难度直到战役结算且无法再变更为Easy Mod。

Labyrinthine Defense · Stage 3-30 -Point90687 谜境守卫 · 3-30-Point90687

If you escort the AR Team to the left-most radar before the 8th turn and have them stand by in position, you will gain extra points. In addition, meeting the conditions for opening the Defense Gates will also grant you extra points. Best of luck, Commander.于第八回合之前护送AR小队至左侧雷达点待机，可获得额外的积分奖励。 此外，达成开启防御门的目标同样可以获得积分奖励。 那么指挥官，祝你武运昌隆。

Lamp Starter 启辉器

...In the train's command room.……列车指挥室。

KalinaWe've finished decelerating and our scans in each direction are complete. No enemy signals detected. Commander, per your request we've stopped 5 km from the quarantine wall. Are you sure you want to stop here?减速完成，各方向扫描完成，没有发现敌对单位信号。 指挥官，已经按照您的要求，在隔离墙前五公里处停下了。 确定要停在这个地方吗？

CommanderYes...because this is a choke point. To the north is Lahepere Bay and Lake Klooga is due south. We'll only need to defend a 2.5km front.嗯……这里是个窄口，北面是拉赫维湾，南边是克卢加湖。 我们只需要守卫一条2.5公里宽的防线就可以了。

KalinaPerhaps...we could move a little closer to the quarantine wall?或许……我们可以再靠隔离墙更近一些？

CommanderNo. If we get any closer to the base, the defense systems might open fire on us.不。 再靠近基地的话，防卫系统很可能直接朝我们开炮。

KalinaUrgh... But didn't Task Force DEFY just send us a message saying they had the passage under control?唔……可是刚才忤逆小队的信息不是告诉我们通道已经被她们控制了？

CommanderWhat if it's an enemy trap? Can we really trust strangers who claim to be from DEFY?万一是敌人的陷阱呢？ 没听说过的家伙自称是忤逆就能信吗？

KalinaUgh... You're right.……呃，的确。

CommanderTreat everyone and everything as potentially hostile until we've verified the situation. Calibrate the train's cannons as planned, keep them charged and loaded. After that, disperse the echelons to the front, left and right of the train and begin erecting cover where the terrain is favorable. Place the HOCs in the middle of the formation to ensure they can cover the whole of the defense line. Finally, give all echelons full supplies of ammunition.在侦查到实际情况前一切都当敌人处理。 按照计划校准列车主炮，保持充电并且填装炮弹。 然后散开梯队在列车前左右翼有利地形设置掩体，重装梯队布置在环形中央确保能对整个防线覆盖支援。 最后为所有梯队配发满基数弹药给她们。

KalinaUnderstood. Are we preparing to intercept the Military here?了解。 我们是准备在这里阻击军方？

CommanderI'm simply waiting for orders. Surely you don't think that those old folks are planning to have us take a strategic naval base by ourselves, Kalin?我只是在等待命令，格琳娜你不会真的觉得那些老头准备只靠我们占领一座战略港口的基地吧？

KalinaWhat do you mean?您是指？

An urgent message comes over the communicator.通讯器里传来了一条紧急通讯。

CommanderI'm talking about this.我就是指这个。

HavierCommander, it seems you've arrived at Paldiski.指挥官，看来你已经到达帕尔迪斯基了。

CommanderYes, having paid a very high price.是的，在付出了很大的代价之后。

HavierSo, are you ready to begin the operation?所以，你们准备开始行动了吗？

CommanderBefore we start, can you tell me the truth?在行动前，可以和我说实话了吗？

HavierOh? I seem to recall clearly outlining your goals to you before.哦？我可记得之前已经把目标很明确地告诉你了才对啊。

CommanderThe events in Tallinn, the strange allocation of the Military's forces, and the signs of abnormal movements from S.F., none of them sound like the sort of thing a PMC should be handling.无论是塔林里发生的事，还是军方这异常的力量部署，还有铁血异动的踪迹，这次的任务可不像是一个安全承包商应该承担的烈度啊。

HavierIndeed. Still, Griffin should have become used to handling such things long ago, am I right?的确如此，不过格里芬应该早就习惯承担这种烈度的任务了吧？

CommanderIf you only need us to serve as cannon fodder, then why don't we stop here and block the Military while Statesec's forces handle things in the base?如果只是想让我们当炮灰的话，不如我们就停在这里挡住军方，剩下的事让安全局的部队自己去基地里解决如何？

HavierYou mean those "Vympel" troops that only know how to look at the scenery? Hahaha, that old rogue told you too much. Sometimes, knowing too much isn't a good thing. However, I like the way you ponder everything deeply.你是指那些只会看风景的“信号旗”? 哈哈哈，那个老家伙真是告诉你太多了，有时候知道太多可不是一件好事。 不过我喜欢你这种深入思考的态度。

CommanderMy Dolls have been unable to perform real-time backups ever since we left Griffin-controlled territory. And unlike T-dolls, the human employees of Griffin and my logistics officer don't even have the chance to back up at all. Even if Griffin is moved around on the board like a chess piece, I can't let them go to their deaths without knowing the reason for it.从离开格里芬的管辖区开始，我的人形们就不能实时备份了。 不仅仅是人形，还有格里芬的雇员们，还有我的后勤官，作为人类她们连备份的机会都没有。 即使格里芬被当作棋子被使来唤去，我也不能让她们不明不白地去送死。

HavierOf course, of course. I wouldn't need you if it was just a matter of collecting some abandoned inventory from an abandoned base, Commander. As a reward, I'll tell you something else. Strategic bombers from the 22nd Guards Heavy Bomber Aviation Division have taken off from Engels Air Force Base. If anything happens, they'll bomb the base flat.当然当然，要是只去一座废弃的基地回收废品，我也不会找上指挥官你来执行了。 作为奖励再额外告诉你一件事吧。 近卫第22重型轰炸机师的战略轰炸机群已经从恩格斯机场起飞了，如果发生什么意外，这座基地会被炸成平地。

CommanderWhat?什么？

HavierIt's time to close the net, and the moment when we lay all our cards on the table is at hand.是收网的时候了，摊牌的时刻就要到了。

CommanderSo we're the bait that's going to lure the Military units into the kill zone?所以我们是把军方部队吸引进轰炸区的诱饵？

HavierNo no no, I'm guessing the bigwigs in Moscow don't really want to drop the bombs. After all, that base has something in it that's far more valuable than a few rogue battalions.不不不，我想莫斯科的那些大人物们一定不想真的把炸弹扔下来，毕竟那个基地中有着比几个连的叛军重要得多的东西。

CommanderThe Pike Node? ...Is this related to the Butterfly Incident?梭鱼节点？ ……和蝴蝶事件有关？

HavierVery smart. I'm pretty sure Ange's told you a lot too. This operation is the denouement to the Butterfly Incident, for Statesec, for the Military, and of course, for "William."你很聪明，相信安洁也告诉了你不少信息。 这次行动是蝴蝶事件的收场，不管是对安全局，还是对军方来说，当然还有那个“威廉”。

CommanderWilliam...威廉……

HavierHowever, it isn't just the Pike Node. I've been doing some thinking myself, about the objective of Operation Butterfly, and now I'm beginning to connect the dots. I've also managed to collect the missing pieces from you and Persica. Don't worry, Persica's in a safe place now. She'll tell you the truth that she knows from over there. On your end, you have M4A1, who can resonate with the OGAS system, the Isomer that she brought over to her side, and Lyco's most perfect and most lethal creation, Elisa. It seems all the actors are gathered. I do wonder - is everything playing out according to William's plan?不过不仅仅是梭鱼节点。 我也一直在思考蝴蝶行动的目的到底是什么，而现在的一切都在慢慢串联了起来。 而曾经缺少的碎片也从指挥官你，还有帕斯卡身上收集到了。 别担心，帕斯卡已经被送到了安全的地方，她会在那里说出属于她的真相的。 而你这边，能够与OGAS系统引起共鸣的“M4A1”，还有被她吸引来的异构体，以及莱科生前最完美也是最致命的作品“伊莱莎”。 似乎所有的演员都已经到齐了，这会不会正是“威廉”所计划的呢？

CommanderIf you've already guessed that this was William's plan, then why did you send us here?如果你已经猜到是威廉的计划，那为什么还要让我们来这里？

HavierBecause this is our only chance to attain victory.因为这是我们唯一能够取胜的机会。

CommanderOur only chance?唯一取胜的机会？

HavierI once told you that there used to be a Pike Node here, and that node was the one that was sent to the Sangvis plant where Lyco was, where it triggered the Butterfly Incident, before you finally recovered it in Belgrade. This base was originally one of the strategic ports for the Baltic Fleet's submarine forces, and it once stored all the Pike units prepared for the Baltic Fleet in the event of World War III. However, the true danger of this base is not the Pikes, but a certain facility in the bottom of the base — we know it as the "Starfish". The Pikes have to be activated by a signal from the Relics themselves. Thus in order to remotely activate these weapons, the Old Soviet Union set up an OGAS network to transmit a ternary signal from the "Tabasar-B" Relic. The "Starfish" system relays the Relic signal, activates and controls the Pikes, and gives them operational orders. We have reason to believe that the Old Soviet-era Starfish system within the depths of the base contains several servers which are still functional. This is why the Military is so desperate to get into this base, and the reason why William placed his research lab here. Originally, the three gates sealing off the Starfish installation should have been unopenable. Everyone had a tacit understanding that we would no longer come into contact with anything that had to do with the Relics. However, it's obvious that the situation has changed.之前我曾告诉过你这里曾经有过梭鱼节点，而这个节点正是被运送到莱科的铁血工厂的那一颗，而后引发了蝴蝶行动，最后又被你在贝尔格莱德回收。 这个基地本身是波罗的海舰队潜艇兵的战略母港之一，这里曾经储藏了整个波罗的海舰队为了第三次世界大战准备的梭鱼。 然而这座基地真正危险的并不是梭鱼那些武器，而是最底层的某个设施——我们知道它被称为【海星】。 梭鱼的启动必须依靠“遗迹”本身的信号触发，为了远程启动这些武器，旧苏联架设了OGAS网络传递塔沙巴尔-B“遗迹”的三进制信号。 而连接“遗迹”信号，启动和控制梭鱼，分发作战指令的就是这套【海星】系统。 我们有理由相信在这个基地的深处有着前苏联时期建造的【海星】系统里少数几台还能够运作的分机。 所以这就是为什么军方会这么不计牺牲地进入这个基地，而威廉也因此把他的研究基地设置在这里。 原本封锁【海星】设施的第三道门是无法被打开的，大家都在默守着一条规则，那就是不能触碰和“遗迹”相关的一切事物。 但现在显然情况已经变化了。

CommanderSo you mean... they want to activate the "Starfish" system? But the Pike Nodes were all shipped out from there - why didn't the Military just activate them directly?你是说……他们想要启动【海星】终端设施？ 但之前梭鱼节点是从那里运输出来的，那时军方为何不直接启动就行了？

HavierBecause the entire "Starfish" system was sealed away indefinitely in compliance to the Relic Arms Reduction Treaty in 1981. If it wasn't for Operation Sparkplug back in the day, Carter wouldn't even have known that the Starfish could be activated in the first place, let alone that Moscow would have to authorize it. If Carter gains activation access, the Starfish servers will be enough to activate the entire OGAS network, and the network connects to the largest Relic facility within the Soviet Union — the Tabasar-B support system.因为根据1981年的遗迹武器限制条约，整个海星系统早就被永久封存了。 如果不是当年的火花塞行动，别说启动【海星】必须有来自莫斯科的权限这件事，连【海星】还可能被启动的这一事实，卡特都不会知道。 如果卡特获得了启动权限，【海星】分机足够激活全域OGAS网络，而这网络里连接着的正是苏联境内最大的“遗迹”设施——塔沙巴尔-B的辅助系统。

CommanderSo their ultimate objective is activating the Relics, huh...果然最终他们的目标就是启动“遗迹”吗……

HavierNo. From what I know, that's impossible. The recovery of the Pike Node by Statesec means they didn't obtain the codes from it which would allow them to directly control Relic-related systems. What they're doing is more of a form of protest, to ruin our government's diplomatic relationship with Western Europe... as well as wrecking that international union plan that's being put forward. Thanks to your repeated efforts, those bastards' plans have failed again and again, which is why they've been forced to take such desperate measures to achieve their unspeakable aims.不，就我所知这并不可能。 梭鱼节点被安全局回收使得他们没有获得节点中直接控制与“遗迹”相关的系统的密码。 他们这种行为更像是一种示威，以破坏我们的政府与西欧的外交关系，以及……破坏正在推进的国家联盟的计划。 之前因为你的连番阻挠，那些混蛋的计划一次又一次地落空，所以他们不得不采取这种狗急跳墙的行动来达到他们不可告人的目的了。

CommanderAre you SURE it can't be activated?你确定启动不了吗？

HavierI just told you, the "Starfish" only connects to the part of the OGAS network that handled Pike weapons control. The only link to the Relics is the fact that they're all on the same OGAS network. Still, no matter what, their haste to get into Paldiski indicates that they've obtained authorization to activate the Starfish, which also indicates that someone has activated the Starfish mainframe in Moscow. This isn't something a few generals can do. Someone high up in the People's Committee is willing to take the risk to do something like this. It's clear that the political situation in the Kremlin has deteriorated into a powder keg. While tensions were already running high in the air back there, the series of events in Belgrade were the last straw that broke the camel's back. I'm guessing it'll only be a matter of time before the situation completely breaks down.刚才已经说了，【海星】只是连接了OGAS网络的梭鱼武器控制系统，与“遗迹”唯一的关联只是在同一个OGAS网络中而已。 但不管怎么说，这么急着赶往帕尔迪斯基，说明他们很可能取得了启动【海星】的权限，也同样说明有人启动了莫斯科的【海星】总机。 这已经不是几个将军就能做到的事了，而人民委员会的高层中有人愿意铤而走险做这件事，说明克里姆林宫里的政治局势已经恶化到了剑拔弩张的地步了。 虽然那里的空气里原本就充满了火药，但是你在贝莱格莱德经手的一系列事件更是给它泼上了最后一桶汽油，我想他们彻底翻脸也只是时间问题。

CommanderWhy are there always people who hate peace so much...为什么总有人要仇视和平呢……

HavierPeace is a relative concept. Thus, we are going to prove that they plan to activate the "Starfish", and stop them at the same time. If Statesec isn't at Paldiski, the members of the opposition won't have an excuse to hide behind, and maybe our bigshots can take them down bloodlessly. Of course, Zelinsky has also considered the eventuality of your failure, and so Statesec's Vympel forces and the Air Force's strategic bombers are all standing by. Under no circumstances is the Starfish to be activated. If anything goes wrong, this base will be reduced to dust.和平只是一个相对的概念。 所以我们既要证明他们试图启动【海星】，又同时要阻止他们启动“海星”。 在没有安全局出现在帕尔迪斯基的情况下，那些反对派将无法找到任何借口，也许我们的大人物们就能刀不血刃地将他们拿下。 当然泽林斯基也考虑过你失败的情况，现在国安局的信号旗和空军的战略轰炸机都已经在待命。 不管发生什么，“海星”是不允许被启动的，一旦形势不对这座基地将会化为灰烬。

HavierNaturally, I don't wish for that to happen, because it means both sides will have played their hole cards by doing so. The use of force breeds hatred, which will lead to an intense clash between both sides, and civil war will be unavoidable.当然，我并不希望这样的情况出现，因为按照这个剧本双方等于都亮出了底牌。 使用暴力会让仇恨蔓延，接下来的局势必然会形成剧烈的两派冲突，内战不可避免。

CommanderCivil war... Will those people from the Military give up even if Statesec doesn't show up?内战………就算安全局不出现，那些军队的人就会善罢甘休？

HavierWe intend to play the role of a neutral party, so our stance will be very important. Of course, Zelinsky is not going to go easy on any enemies who remain obstinate. The moment the Military enters the base, we'll begin seizing the traitors. Of course, they're not just going to wait for us to get them. They will resist with all their might, and so we need time to do our job. Therefore, please remember, Commander. You and your Doll forces' mission is to cut the fuse. Victory in this operation will be our only chance to keep the peace.我们要争取的是中立的一方，所以姿态非常重要。 当然已经顽固不化的敌人泽利斯基肯定不会善待，当军方进入基地的那一刻起，对叛徒抓捕就会开始。 不过他们并不会坐以待毙，他们会尽自己的全力反抗，一切都需要时间。 所以指挥官请记住，你和你的人形部队的目标是斩断导火索，这次行动的胜利将是维护和平的唯一机会。

HavierAre you happy with that answer, my dear Commander?这个答案您还满意么，我亲爱的指挥官？

CommanderYou seem to have given us a lovely cover for this operation.你似乎为了这次任务给我们套了一个很漂亮的外壳。

HavierIndeed. You have a bright, shiny reason to do it, but whether or not you believe me is up to you. As for Operation Butterfly... Well, they were right; I can't believe the flapping of a butterfly by the Black Sea led to such a huge storm. But everything must eventually come to an end, and it is time to wake from that nightmare. Take control of Paldiski Submarine Base, draw the Military in there and seize them, until their higher-ups are all captured. Remember, you must not allow them to activate the Starfish. That is your real mission.的确如此，一个光鲜的理由，不过信不信就随你了。 蝴蝶行动……真的被说中了，黑海侧的蝴蝶振翅，最后竟然引起了如此之大的狂风暴雨。 但是最终一切都有结束的时候，是时候从一场噩梦中苏醒过来了。 控制住帕尔迪斯基潜艇基地，将军方引进基地中并且困住他们，直到他们的高层被抓捕完成为止。 记住，绝对不能让他们启动“海星”设施，这就是你这次真正的任务。

CommanderI won't let them have their way.他们不会得逞的。

HavierI'm counting on you, Commander. I look forward to meeting you again after you return.靠你了指挥官，我很期待你归来后的会面。

Havier ends the call.哈维尔断开了通讯。

CommanderHavier might have said as much, but is there really no way to activate the Relic? I'm sure William must know of M4 and Dandelion, so is there really no other objective behind luring Griffin over?虽然哈维尔这么说了，不过“遗迹”真的启动不了吗？ M4和丹德莱的存在一定已经被威廉知道了，他吸引格里芬过来真的就没有别的目的？

Propagation I 直进性I

...After the conversation with Havier is over, the Commander returns to the train's command room.……与哈维尔结束通讯后，指挥官回到了列车指挥室。

KalinaWhat did Mr. Havier say?哈维尔先生怎么说……？

CommanderYou won't want to know, but he managed to convince me. Let's begin the operation.你不会想知道他说了些什么，但不管如何他说服我了。 开始准备行动吧。

KalinaWill we be heading into the base now?那现在要进入基地吗？

CommanderNo... we don't know what's going on inside the base, and we'll be finished if we barge in thoughtlessly and end up caught in a pincer attack. We'll verify our next destination before moving on. Are 404 and the AR Team ready to move out?不……我们不清楚基地内的情况，如果贸然进入基地被两面夹击就彻底完蛋了，在确认下个落脚点后再前进。 404和AR小队都做好出发的准备了吗？

KalinaThey've finished resupplying.补给已经全部配置完毕了。

CommanderGood. Put me through to them.好，帮我接通线路吧。

Kalina establishes the connection and gives the Commander a thumbs up.格琳娜调整了线路，向指挥官比了个手势。

CommanderAR Team, Squad 404, can you hear me?AR小队和404小队可以听到吗？

M4A1Loud and clear, Commander.很清楚，指挥官。

UMP45I read you.可以听到。

CommanderOur train has arrived. I've already sent you the battle plan, three different backup plans, and the holographic map which Dandelion provided. Our ultimate objective is to seize the base, and in order to take control of the base, we will need to enter from the outskirts. Right now, I'm not sure what the situation is inside the base, and we can't let our main force enter the range of its defense systems. First, we need to link up with the members of DEFY and find a way to open the barrier gate. Then we'll need to ensure we have control over the gate and that it is safe. At the same time, we will be scouting out the current status of the coastal defense artillery. Our main goal there is to take control of the shore guns so they can provide fire support for our forces. If we cannot take them, then the backup plan is to destroy them and ensure the coastal artillery cannot fire on our forces.列车已经到站了，作战计划和三种备案以及丹德莱提供的全息地图已经全都发送给你们了。 我们这次的终极目标是占领基地，而想要控制住这座基地我们先得从外围入手，现在我们并不清楚基地内的情况，不能让主力部队贸然进入基地防卫体系的火力范围内。 首先我们需要和忤逆的队员汇合，找到打开隔离门的方式，然后进一步确保隔离门通道的权限和安全。 同时我们要侦察岸防炮现在的情况。 最优先的计划为尽可能夺取岸防炮的控制权限，为我方梯队提供火力支援。 如果无法夺取，备用方案为破坏其火力体系，确保岸防炮不会朝我方梯队开火。

M4A1How will we deal with the pursuing Military?那军方的追击部队怎么处理呢？

CommanderAll of Griffin's forces except you will be forming a defense line here. According to our previous simulation, we should be able to hold out for half an hour if the Military launches an all-out attack. In other words, that's your operational time limit.除了你们外，格里芬的所有力量都会在此处建立防线，按照刚才的推演，如果军方全力进攻的话，这边可以坚持半个小时。 也就是说，这是你们可以行动的时间的极限了。

UMP45Half an hour... That's really cutting it close.半个小时……时间真是够短的。

CommanderThe barrier gate leading to the sub base is behind us. Since we can't conduct mobile warfare, all we can do now is hold the line. And believe me, half an hour is a pretty optimistic estimate.后面就是通向潜艇基地的隔离墙大门，我们无法机动作战只能坚守阵地，半个小时已经是很乐观的估计了。

UMP45Then how will you divide our forces?那么任务如何分配？

RO635I recommend that the AR Team take the coastal artillery. If there are enemy forces in the base, then the guns will be defended. Even if nobody is manning them, the Military will surely have the same idea as us and will be seeking to secure their heavy firepower. With that in mind, the AR Team's superior ability in cracking strongpoints will be more useful there.我建议AR小队执行夺取岸防炮的任务。 如果基地内有敌对势力存在，那岸防炮必然已经被驻守。 即使没有人驻守，军方也一定和我们想的一样，会想方设法夺取重火力点。 如此考虑，AR小队的攻坚能力更强一些。

M4A1I think so too. The members of Squad 404 are all skilled in infiltration and electronic warfare. If there are any enemies at the quarantine wall, I think we won't want to raise the alarm too soon.我也这么考虑，404小队的各位擅长隐秘行动和电子入侵，如果隔离墙还存在敌人，我们也不想那么早惊动它们。

CommanderWhat do you think, UMP45?UMP45你觉得呢？

UMP45I'm more than happy to take on the easier mission, but I hope the members of the AR Team don't mess up on their end, in particular "Miss Dandelion" over there.能给我们更轻松的任务当然求之不得，不过希望AR小队的各位请千万不要出什么岔子，尤其是那位丹德莱“小姐”。

DandelionThank you for the reminder, Miss UMP45. Also, you listened to M4's story with such obvious relish, but might I remind you that the story isn't exactly irrelevant to you.谢谢您的提醒，UMP45小姐。 另外我再附赠一条提醒，虽然刚才您听M4的故事听得那么津津有味，不过这不意味着这里的故事与您无关。

UMP45What are you getting at?你想表达什么？

DandelionWhat once happened to Lunasia might happen to you at the origin of the Pike core. Take care that you don't drown in the memories of your base layer. You don't have someone in your neural cloud who can save you the way I saved Lunasia. After all, your little friend is just too weak, unlike myself.在那个梭鱼核心的起点中，露尼西亚曾经发生的事，在你身上也许也会发生。 可不要一不小心被溺死在底层的回忆中了，你的心智里可不像露尼西亚那样有我这般的意志可以救你。 毕竟和我不一样，她那么的弱小。

UMP45...!……！

DandelionThe networked consciousness in that base is much stronger than the one in Tallinn. I hope you're prepared to leave the labyrinth by yourself.那座基地中的交叉意识可比塔林要强得多，希望你做好从迷宫中自己走出来的准备。

M4A1That's enough, Dandelion.丹德莱，不要再说了。

M4A1I'm sorry, 45. I'll keep her on a tight leash. Please don't take it to heart.抱歉45，我会管好她的。 希望你不要往心里去。

DandelionAlso, I recommend that you disallow me from taking part in the coastal defense artillery capture operation.另外，我建议指挥官允许我不参与AR小队夺取岸防炮的行动。

M4A1Why?什么？

CommanderI thought you wanted to plaster yourself to M4.我还以为你一步都不想从M4身边离开。

DandelionPlease do not phrase it in such...undignified terms. If your train is taken by the Military, there will be no way to continue this operation. In addition, the Military will surely assault our defense line with ferocious firepower and mechanized units. Even if we only have to defend a front that is 2.5 km long, it will still be a tremendously difficult task, given Griffin's present strength.请不要把我描述得那么……不堪。 如果指挥官所在列车炮被军方夺取，那这次行动将没有继续下去的可能性了。 而军方一定会用猛烈的火力和机械部队冲击我们的防线。 即使只需要防守2.5公里，对格里芬现在的力量来说也是难如登天。

CommanderWhat do you suggest?那你的建议是？

DandelionI will stay here to provide support for the Zener Network and strengthen the Dolls' combat processing abilities, as well as accepting the neural clouds of the fallen Dolls. I can also attempt to hack any Military autonomous units that come our way. If we can turn them to our side, it will greatly reduce the pressure on the frontlines.我会留在这里支持齐纳网络，强化人形的作战运算能力，还有接受被击毁的人形的心智。 如果有军方的自律单位，我可以尝试入侵它们，如果这些单位能反过来为我们所用，那可以大大减轻前线的压力。

CommanderM4, what do you think?M4，你觉得怎么样？

M4A1I believe I have no reason to refuse.似乎我没有拒绝的理由。

DandelionWhile you are carrying out the operation, I will still be linked to your neural cloud, and I will share all my thoughts with you, M4. As for you, Miss 45, I can provide support to your neural cloud's base layer as well, if you are willing to grant me access to it.在你们去执行任务时，我依然会和M4你的心智保持连接，我会告诉你我感受到的一切。 当然那位UMP45小姐，如果愿意，我也可以提供心智底层的协助，只要你愿意向我开放权限。

UMP45Thanks for your concern, but it won't be necessary.感谢你的关心，不必了。

CommanderIt's decided, then. Dandelion will stay on the armored train to support the defense line against the Military, while the other teams carry out their respective missions. One thing I should add; after you complete your missions, the rest of the Dolls and this train will pass through the quarantine wall and enter the base. On the one hand, it will allow us to occupy a better defensive position. On the other hand, we need to lure the Military into the base. The sooner you finish your mission, the sooner we can get out of this kill zone.那就这么决定了，丹德莱留在装甲列车中支援抵抗军方的防线，其他小队各自执行任务。 再补充一点，在你们都完成自己的任务后，其他梯队的人形和这辆装甲列车会穿过隔离墙进入基地。 一方面我们可以抢占更好的防御位置，另一方面我们需要把军方引到基地中来。 你们越快完成任务，我们可以越早离开现在的杀戮区。

M4A1Received.收到。

UMP45Roger.明白。

M4A1Without further ado, the AR Team will be heading out. End transmission.事不宜迟，AR小队出发了，通讯完毕。

UMP45Humph. Squad 404 is moving off too. UMP45 out.哼，404小队也出发了，完毕。

KalinaCommander, both teams are getting ready to move out. Since both objectives are quite a distance away from us, I've assigned them the still-functional vehicles aboard the armored train. If they don't run into any resistance, they should reach their destinations in about 10 minutes' time.指挥官，两支小队都准备出发了。 因为两个目标位置都比较远，我把装甲列车上还能开动的载具都给了她们。 如果不遭遇抵抗的话，她们应该在十分钟内就能到达目的地。

CommanderIF they don't meet resistance... We've got better odds of winning the grand prize in the state lottery. How's our force disposition?不遭遇抵抗的话……这简直比中彩票大奖都难，我们的梯队部署如何了？

KalinaAll echelons are in position. They're building fortifications and distributing ammunition. That ought to take another five minutes or so. However, the enemy armored trains have pulled out of Tallinn during our journey here.各个梯队已经在进入阵地了，正在建立工事和配发弹药，还需要五分钟左右。 不过敌人的装甲列车在我们刚才启程时也从塔林中出动了。

CommanderWhich means...a time difference of exactly five minutes.所以……正好五分钟的时间差。

KalinaYes... Our forces can only build simple defenses, and we can take cover behind some hillocks near the bay, but all we have by the lake are a bunch of old houses. One round of bombardment and they'll be useless as cover.是的……梯队只能建立简易工事，靠近海湾的位置有一些起伏的地形可以设伏，但湖边就只有一些破旧的房屋，一旦被火炮覆盖基本无法提供有效掩护。

CommanderI understand. Have our Dolls dig in as deeply as possible... The Military's going to take advantage of their superior firepower, but we need to buy as much time for those two teams as possible. Have our minelayer drones carpet the main approach to our defensive line, so we can station fewer echelons there. After that, rig the railway line with explosives. That ought to keep their trains stopped outside for a little longer. The enemy is going to try to break through our flanks, and we don't have enough Dolls to mount a defense in depth. If they can hit the train from behind, it's check and mate for us. Keep our most potent echelons on the flanks, and make sure they have fall-back points and decoy positions. How many backup echelons do we have?我明白，让我们的人形尽量把掩体挖深一些……军方一定会发挥他们的火力优势，但是我们必须要为那两支小队争取足够多的的时间。 让布雷无人机把所有地雷都布置正面防线，那里我们可以少设置一些梯队，然后在铁道上埋设炸药，至少让他们的列车在外面多停一会。 敌人一定会试图突破我们的侧翼，我们没有足够的人形建立纵深防御，如果从被他们后面攻击装甲列车就彻底被将军了。 把能力最强的几支梯队设置在侧翼，留好预备阵地和假阵地。 我们预备队还有多少支梯队？

KalinaWe have five more, but they don't have their full complement of Dummies... Our repair bays can't fix that many damaged Dolls so soon.还有五支，不过傀儡都没有满员……我们的维修仓不足以这么快维修那么多受损的人形。

CommanderAbout 100 Dolls or so... Have them prepare to plug any breaches. Issue a top priority order to each echelon - they are NOT to let the Military through until the other two teams complete their mission. However...make sure they're ready to retreat at any time. They are to withdraw to the train the moment when we give the word.一百个人形左右……让她们做好准备填补缺口。 给各个梯队下达死命令，在那两个小队完成任务前，一定不能让军方部队穿越这里。 但是……也随时做好撤离的准备，一收到命令立即返回到列车上来。

KalinaCommander... I still think we should withdraw to the quarantine walls to mount our defense. We'll take heavy losses if we set up in open terrain.指挥官……我觉得我们还是应该退到隔离墙处进行据守，在空地中设防之后我们一定会遭到严重的损失。

CommanderWhat if there's an ambush at the walls? We have five minutes of reaction time; if there are enemies at the walls, are you confident that we can take control of the walls in that time? K and Ange haven't replied ever since they snuck into the base, and I'm very worried about their situation.如果隔离墙有埋伏呢，我们只有五分钟的反应时间，如果在隔离墙处有敌人，你有信心在五分钟内拿下那里吗？ K和安洁潜入基地后现在都没有联络，我实际上非常担心他们的情况。

CommanderIt's not my intent to have us set up in the open to get beaten up for nothing. Right now, we need to wait and endure. I know this is a gamble, but it's the only option we have. After that, we pray those two teams will give us good news.我不是想在空地上白白承受打击，现在需要的是忍耐和等待。 我知道我这是在赌博，但是我们只有这一个选择。 然后祈祷两支小队会给我们带来好消息。

KalinaI understand, Commander... I'm issuing each echelon their respective tasks now.我明白了指挥官……正在向各梯队派发序列任务。

CommanderYeah... I'm sorry, everyone. I hope you can forgive me... Right now, we've got no way out. We need to win, no matter how great the cost.嗯…… 对不起，请大家能够原谅我…… 现在已经没有退路了，不管付出多大的牺牲我们都要获得胜利。

Refraction Point 折射点

...In the AR Team's prep room.……AR小队整备室。

M4A1The Commander's handed down our orders. Our mission is to seize the coastal defense artillery and provide fire support for the defending Griffin forces. Are you ready to move out?指挥官下达命令了，我们的任务是夺取岸防炮，为防御军方的格里芬梯队提供火力支援。 做好出发的准备了吗？

RO635Of course. Time to let those green bastards have a taste of fear.当然。 也该让那些绿色的混蛋尝尝恐惧的滋味了。

M4 SOPMOD IILet's blow them all to kingdom come!把他们全部炸上天吧！

ST AR-15Don't be too optimistic. We're probably going to run into massive resistance en route to our objective. Also, the Military might send out fast-moving units to waylay us, and in the worst-case scenario, the defenders manning the guns and the pursuit forces will be attacking us at the same time.别太乐观，我们这边任务的路线预计会遭遇很大的抵抗，另外军方可能会派遣高机动部队堵截我们，最差的情况守军和追击部队同时会向我们发动攻击。

RO635No matter how many simulations I run, the worst-case scenario is still the most likely scenario...这最差的情况怎么推算都是最可能出现的情况……

M4A1That's why speed is paramount. We'll enter the base through a breach in the northwest section of the quarantine wall, pass through the wind power generation district and enter the bunker complex there. The server hub for the shore guns' automated systems is probably among those bunkers. Dandelion will use her superior hacking abilities to find the hub and subvert it.所以速度非常关键，我们会从西北隔离墙的一个塌陷处进入基地，穿越风力发电机区域进入永固掩体层。 岸防炮的自动化系统中枢极有可能在永固掩体中，丹德莱会利用她的入侵优势找到中枢并入侵系统。

ST AR-15Dandelion? Isn't she staying on the train?丹德莱？ 她不是会留在列车上吗？

DandelionI will provide electronic support through my connection with Lunasia. I can do something as simple as that even if I'm not beside her.我会连接露尼西亚为她提供电子支持，这些简单的工作即使我不在她身边也能做到。

ST AR-15Can we really rely on her...真的靠得住么……

DandelionI've shown my abilities in Tallinn. If any of you think you are better suited for hacking than I am, you are more than welcome to take my place.之前在塔林我已经展现过我的能力了，如果在座的各位认为自己更适合完成入侵的任务，可以和我交换。

RO635Ahem... I've synced the routes to everyone. Hopefully our way there will be smooth sailing. Before that, do you best to cut down on travel time while driving. SOP-II, you'll be the roof gunner. Don't scrimp on the ammo; if you see any enemies, don't hesitate and hit them with as much firepower as you need to stop them from nearing our vehicle. We don't have time to waste on trash.咳咳……路线已经同步给大家了，希望到达目标之间的道路通畅，在此之前尽可能开车缩短移动时间。 SOP2你来当车顶的火力手吧，不要节省弹药，只要发现敌人就毫不犹豫地开火阻止它们靠近载具，我们没有时间浪费在杂兵身上。

M4 SOPMOD IINo problem! I'll blow all the enemies in our way to itty bitty little pieces!没问题！我会把路上所有的敌人都炸成碎片的！

ST AR-15Will that really be alright? We'll be fighting alone after this.真的没问题么？我们接下来得独立作战。

RO635Kalina's already loaded the vehicle with all the ammo compatible with SOP-II. We won't be able to take it with us if we don't use it up.格琳娜小姐已经把所有SOP2适配的弹药都搬到载具上了，如果不用掉我们步行时也带不走。

ST AR-15Looks like the Commander's betting heavily on us.看来指挥官也是为我们投下了很大的筹码了。

M4 SOPMOD IIYup, which is why we can't let the Commander down. If there's nothing else, let's head out.是的，所以我们不能辜负指挥官的信赖，如果没有疑问现在立即出发吧。

AR TeamRoger!明白！

Critical Angle I 临界角I

...In Squad 404's prep room.……404小队整备室。

UMP45Gear check, ladies. Load up on ammo and prepare to move out.检查装备，带好弹药，准备出发。

416What's wrong? Something seems to be eating at you; you're not your usual confident self.怎么了，感觉你心事重重的，不像以前胸有成竹的样子啊。

UMP9I'm sure even 45 would get nervous knowing that the fate of so many Dolls rests in our hands...那么多人形的安危都攥在我们的手里，就算是45姐也会紧张起来吧……

416Do Dolls get nervous?人形还会紧张？

UMP9Look at Gr G11, she's so nervous she can barely stand, right?你看G11不就紧张得都快站不住了？

Gr G11Can-can-can I not go...? It totally sounds like...a suicide mission.我、我……我能不能不去啊…… 听着就感觉……是去送死啊。

416You're going even if it's suicide. Besides, it's not like you can live by yourself without me.送死你也得跟着一起去，反正要是没了我们你靠自己也活不下来。

Gr G11Well, if I can't live by myself, I'll just join Griffin. All I need is a corner for me to sleep in...不行我就加入格里芬好了，只要有个角落让我睡觉就行……

416Oh, you wish! Now get up!想得美！快给我起来！

UMP9Still, are you really okay, 45? Something does feel different about you.不过45姐，真的不要紧吗……？感觉你和平时比不太一样。

416She must have seen something she shouldn't have seen in M4 or Dandelion's neural cloud. Hey, 45, I just told you. It doesn't matter what your goal is, look around at your friends first before doing it. Surely your neural cloud isn't as low on memory as Gr G11's.一定是刚才从M4还是丹德莱的心智中看到了什么不该看的东西。 喂，45，我刚才已经提醒过你了。 就算你想完成什么目的，也先看看你周围的伙伴，你的心智可不是像G11一样只有那么点容量才对。

UMP45Humph, I don't need you to lecture me. Before spouting all that nonsense, have you finished syncing the operational route and the map?哼，轮不到你教训我。 在说这些废话前，作战路线和地图都同步完毕了吗？

UMP9All OK, 45! We'll drive straight to an air vent under the quarantine wall, then enter the air ducts and follow it along the inside of the wall to the DEFY members' last known position. If there really are friendlies there, we'll enter the control room of the barrier gate after contacting them, then use the activation access they were talking about to open the gate and let the Commander in.都OK啦45姐！ 我们笔直开车到隔离墙下方的通风入口，然后从管道进入沿着内侧靠近刚才“忤逆”小队发送的最终坐标。 如果那边真的有友军的话，接上她们然后进入隔离墙大门的控制室，使用她们所说的启动权限就可以打开大门让指挥官她们进来啦。

416You make it sound so easy.听起来真是易如反掌。

UMP45That's assuming we don't run into any enemies. If the signal is a trap, there's a very high chance we'll get shot full of holes. It's not so bad if it's our old friends from S.F., but if we end up getting jumped by Paradeus, you can just start working on your last words at that point.前提是没有敌人的话。 如果那个信号是个陷阱，那我们有一万种可能性被打成筛子。 如果是铁血这种老朋友倒还好，如果被帕拉蒂斯埋伏就直接考虑遗言吧。

Gr G11(Groans) Can't we discuss this? Could I just wait on the train and go over after you make sure it's safe?呜诶诶，那我们能不能商量下，一会我在车上等，你们确定没问题我再上去？

416Any more nonsense out of you and I'll tie you to my gun and use you as a shield! Right, there's no point worrying about that. We need to deal with the gate ASAP before the Commander and the others end up drowning in shellfire. After that, we'll just have to hope the AR Team is as reliable as we are.你再废话就把你绑在枪上当盾牌！ 好了，就算担心这些也没用，我们得赶在指挥官她们被炮弹淹没前把大门的问题解决了。 剩下就指望那支AR小队能和我们一样靠谱吧。

UMP9The fighting for the shore guns is going to be really intense...  Can they really handle it?她们那边对岸防炮的争夺一定会很激烈……真的没问题？

UMP45In any case, it's not something we should be worrying about. If everyone's ready, we're heading out!不管有没有问题都不是我们该考虑的了，准备完毕的话所有人出发！

Reflector I 反射面I

...At the Griffin defense line.……格里芬对军方防线。

ThompsonDoesn't look like cover's an issue anymore. How's the ammo at our fallback position?掩体看来没什么问题了，备用阵地的弹药没问题了吗？

M9The drone just dropped it off! Will Military units really be coming our way?刚才无人机都送过来啦！ 军方的部队真的会从我们这边来吗？

IngramHehe...wouldn't THAT be nice? Chances to have fun like this don't come by often. Besides, I still haven't settled the score with them from last time!嘿嘿……来了不是正好，那么有趣的乐子可不多见。 以前的老账还没和他们算干净呢！

M3But we can't possibly bring down Military armored units with just our firepower, right? Even their regular infantry models are hard to destroy once they're some distance away from us.可是就我们的火力应该打不穿军方的装甲部队吧？ 就算是他们普通的步兵型号一旦拉开距离我们也很难击毁……

ThompsonThe Boss has a plan. Squad B3, do you read me?没关系，BOSS已经有计划了。 B-3小队，听得到吗？

Gr MP5Ehh?! Is the enemy here already?诶！敌人来了吗！

ThompsonRelax, Gr MP5. Just asking for a routine report about the situation on your end.别这么紧张MP5，来问下例行的情况而已。

Gr MP5You scared me to death... We've planted the explosives behind the defense line, but is it really okay to booby trap our route of retreat?吓死我了…… 防线后边已经布置完炸药了，不过在撤退的路线上埋设炸药真的没关系？

ThompsonThe Boss has a plan.BOSS一定有自己的打算。

ThompsonSquads B4 and B5, what about you?B-4和B-5小队呢？

P7We're fine too!我们也没问题！

Type 92Nothing out of the ordinary with B5. Aren't these regular check-ins too frequent?B-5也没有异常。 这定期联络也太频繁了吧？

P7B4's prepped and ready to go! Heehee, come, you enemies, come and die!B-4已经准备万全了！ 嘻嘻，就等着敌人来送死啦！

MakarovThompson's worried about whether the enemy has secretly wiped out our forward listening posts. Besides, it's not like you're the one in charge of comms.汤姆森是在担心有敌人悄悄把哨点给抹掉，反正负责联络的人不是你。

Type 92True, but you heard P7 just now, right? Don't tell me she's got her pranks ready to go?说得也是，不过你听到P7说的话了吧，该不会是恶作剧准备万全了吧？

MakarovTrust her this once. P7 doesn't mess around too much when it comes to actual combat.信她一回吧，P7在正式作战里还是不太会开小差的。

Type 92I hope so, given the circumstances. Wait a minute... Did you say "too much"?希望如此，都在这种情况下了。 等等……你刚刚说了不太会？

MakarovDoes it matter? At most we'll just wake up in an unfamiliar repair tank.有什么关系，大不了最后都是在陌生的修复槽里醒过来。

Type 92Are you sure we'll have a chance to wake up at all?你确定我们还有机会醒过来？

MakarovWe will. I believe in the Commander. Oh yes, where did STEN and that tomato go?会的，我相信我们的指挥官。 对了，司登和那个西红柿去哪了？

Type 92There are still a few houses to the northwest that haven't been cleared yet. They've gone up there to scout and lay a few traps while they're there.西北方向还有几个房屋没清空过，她们去那边巡逻顺便埋设一些陷阱。

MakarovI hope they don't blow themselves up before the fighting starts... As the new Team Palette, we can't bring shame to our former leader.希望她们别还没开战就把自己炸飞了…… 作为新生的调色板小队可不能给原来的队长丢脸啊。

Type 92Should we verify their positions?要确认下她们的位置吗？

MakarovRight, contact them.联系一下吧。

Type 92B5-1 hailing B5-2. What's your situation? Why are you taking so long?B-5-1呼叫B-5-2。 你们现在情况如何？怎么花了那么长时间？

STEN MkIIOh, it's 92. We've finished planting mines at the designated location.啊，是92啊。 我们已经在指定位置埋好地雷了。

Type 92So why haven't you come back yet?那怎么还不回来？

STEN MkIIThat's because... Miss Negev asked us to help her out.这个…… 我们被内格夫小姐要求帮点小忙……

NegevC3 hailing B5. This is Negev, sorry for borrowing some of your people.C-3呼叫B-5。 这里是内格夫，不好意思让你们的队员帮一些小忙。

Type 92So it was Squad Negev. Don't sweat it, boss them around as much as you want.原来是内格夫小队啊，没关系，你们随意地使唤她们吧。

NegevThank you very much. We'll send them back once we've finished digging in here.非常感谢，我们这边完成设防就让他们回来。

NegevHow's the moving going?搬运进展如何了？

AAT-52It's...so...heavy...好……好重啊……

NegevDon't you usually use a machine gun? Why are you so weak?你平时不也使用机枪么？怎么力气变得这么小了？

AAT-52Why don't...you try...carrying several dozen sandbags at once... (Pants)你一口气……搬几十个沙袋试试看，哈……哈……

Micro UziQuit whining. If our position gets overrun, your flanks will be completely exposed. So please help us out. Miss Tomato.别抱怨啦，要是我们的阵地被突破，你们的侧翼就完全暴露了，所以麻烦你好好帮忙啦番茄小姐。

AAT-52Don't call me Tomato!不要叫我番茄！

TAR-21I'm terribly sorry about this, but the Commander wants the machine gun nests to be as secure as possible.实在不好意思，但是指挥官要我们把机枪掩体设置得尽可能坚固一些……

STEN MkIIIt's alright; after all, we ought to be helping each other out at times like these, am I right, Miss Tomato?没关系啦，这种时候更应该互帮互助，没错吧番茄小姐。

AAT-52At least call me Mademoiselle Tomate... Argh, my arms are falling off...至少叫我西红柿小姐吧……啊，我的手快断了……

NegevA few more sandbags and it'll be over. Come on, hang in there. This is the first line of defense, so we need to hold the enemy at bay and keep them from passing through.还有最后几个沙袋就铺设完了，再加把劲吧。 这里是第一道防线，我们必须牢牢地把敌人挡在外面才行。

STEN MkIISo we're on the outermost edge of the defensive line? I saw a bunch of Dolls run outside just now.这里是防线最外侧了吗？我刚才好像看到几个人形跑到外面去了……

NegevThey're probably recon teams. The Military's drawing closer, and the Commander needs to know the enemy's movements. Still, they've been out for a while. I wonder how they're doing.那是侦察小组吧，军方已经越来越近了，指挥官必须掌握敌人地动向。 不过她们已经出去好一会了，不知道她们现在如何了。

Welrod MkIIG1 hailing G5, can you see our position?G-1呼叫G-5，能看到我们的位置吗？

Kar98kG5 copies, we see you clearly from here.G-5收到，这边可以看得非常清楚。

Welrod MkIIPlease cover our reconnaissance... The enemy seems to have dispatched scout units as well, and they're headed our way.请掩护我们侦查……敌人似乎也在派侦查部队朝我们的位置靠拢。

Kar98kReceived. I recommend you pull your team back a little; your current position is very dangerous.收到，建议你们小队稍微后退一些，现在的位置太危险了。

Welrod MkIIUnderstood, but we'll be able to spot the hostile armored trains from here more quickly. If we can take the initiative, we'll lose much fewer Dolls in the upcoming battle.明白，但这里可以第一时间观察到敌人的装甲列车。 我们能多一秒获得先机，之后的战斗就能少很多被击毁的人形。

Kar98k...Roger. We'll do our best to cover you.……收到。 我们会尽全力掩护你们。

Welrod MkIIWait...等等……

Kar98kWhat's the matter?怎么了？

Welrod MkIII did a scan and found a faint signal approaching this location. I think it's an autonomous force conducting armed recon. We can't let them get close to our defense line, so let's wipe them out here. I've synced the data to you.我扫描后发现有小股的信号正在靠近这边，应该是过来武力侦查的自律部队。 我们不能让他们靠近我们的防线，就在这边把他们消灭掉吧。 信息已经同步过来了。

Kar98kReceived. These numbers shouldn't pose a problem. StG, have the rest of our teammates cover them as well.收到，这个数量应该没问题。 STG，让我们剩下的队友也过来掩护。

StG44Got it, I'm contacting them now. G43, are you still at the resupply point?收到，正在联系。 G43，你们还在补给点？

G43I'm on my way back.已经在回来路上了。

StG44Change of plan. Proceed directly to firing point 3, we're moving the crossfire plan up.更改计划，直接来三号射击位置，交火计划提前了。

G43Got it, I'm coming over now!明白，马上就过来！

G43There's been a change of plan, MP41.MP41计划变啦。

MP41Oh, was that from Fräulein Kar?啊——是卡尔前辈来联络了吗！

G43She's at the shooting point, and she wants us to head over right away.她们在射击点呢，让我们马上过去。

MP41Er...does it have to be right now? I wanted to write a report on the surrounding situation and send it to the Commander...呃……现在吗？ 我还想把这附近的情况整理成报告发送给指挥官呢……

G43Forget the report, just remember to be a good spotter for me afterwards. We don't often get the chance to fight alongside Fräulein Kar!忘记你的报告吧，一会记得好好帮我做观测手，能和卡尔前辈并肩作战的计划可不多啊！

MP41Fine, fine, I got it... Plus, if you bite it, I can take over and help Fräulein Kar. Sounds good, right?好吧好吧我知道了……如果你完蛋了的话我还可以临时去给卡尔前辈帮忙，似乎也不错的样子？

G43You shut that mouth of yours!闭上你的破嘴！

...Inside the command room on the train.……列车指挥室。

KalinaLooks like everyone's just about ready.看来大家都准备得差不多了。

CommanderYup, and I guess our opposition ought to be ready too. Dandelion, have our Dolls been backed up?嗯，我猜我们的对手应该也准备得差不多了。 丹德莱，我们人形的备份都完成了吗？

DandelionAll back-ups are complete. However, I will not be able to perform real-time neural backups for destroyed Dolls once the fighting starts. The data load is too great.已经全部完成了，不过一会开始交战时我无法实时备份被击毁人形的心智，信息的负担太重了。

CommanderI'm grateful enough for pre-battle backups. ...That way, even if we get blown to bits, these girls will all survive as long as you or M4 make it.能在战前做完备份我已经很感激了。 ……那就算我们被炸成碎片，只要M4或者你能逃出去，那些孩子就能继续活下去吧。

DandelionThat is true, in theory. However, saying that sort of thing will only needlessly increase the stress on all of you. For instance, I can already sense that Miss Kalina is very much on edge.理论上的确如此。 不过说这种话只能凭空增加你们的压力，比如旁边这位格琳娜小姐现在我就能感觉到她很紧张。

KalinaEr...呃……

CommanderKalina... I'm sorry.抱歉……格琳娜。

KalinaIt's fine, Commander, ahahaha... You've always been one for saying scary things, haven't you?没事指挥官，哈哈哈哈……您不是一直都喜欢这么危言耸听嘛。

CommanderI hope they're just empty words, but I have a really bad feeling about this. Maybe the good luck we've had all this while is about to be used up.我也希望如此，但我有种很不好的预感，也许我一直以来的好运终于要用到头了。

DandelionI've collated the data from all the Dolls and analyzed the battle situation, which I've projected on the main monitor in the command room. It shows the current disposition of our forces and predictions of enemy movements. I hope this information will help ease the stress on you.我已经将所有人形的信息做了整合，分析完的战场形势正投影到指挥室的主屏幕上，包括了我方的实际情况和敌方的行动预测，希望这些信息能够为您减轻压力。

CommanderHow did you do that...? Usually we only get this kind of computational support at the base.你是怎么做到的…… 一般只有在基地中才会有这样的运算辅助。

DandelionYou can think of me as a top-of-the-line supercomputer system. Since you are the only commander in Griffin to enjoy such luxurious treatment, your existence can be considered to be on the 'cutting edge'.您可以将我看成一台最高配置的作战超级计算机系统，您是格里芬中唯一能享受这最高待遇的指挥官，已经是格里芬顶点的存在了。

DandelionIs it not funny? I thought humorous utterances would help relieve stress. It would seem I will need to avoid such forms of humor in the future.不好笑么？ 我还以为幽默的语言也可以减缓压力，看来我以后得避免使用这种语境的幽默措辞。

CommanderI appreciate your good intentions... But let's focus on the battle.感谢你的心意……我们还是将注意力放置在战场上吧。

Bzzzz — a buzzer goes off.滴——蜂鸣器响起。

CommanderWhat's happening?怎么了？

KalinaMessage from the recon team. The enemy armored trains have stopped moving and they have dispatched autonomous scouting forces, which are currently engaging the recon team. The trains are now deploying ground forces, and both our left and right flanks each have two companies' worth of troops headed their way.侦查小组报告，军方的装甲列车已经停止移动，列车上派出的侦查自律部队在与她们交火。 现敌列车处正在部署地面部队，左右翼各有两个连的数量正在展开。

CommanderThey're going to catch us in a pincer attack. Looks like the opposition isn't interested in fancy tactics; they're going to hit us with everything they have. Are there any other movements?这是要准备钳击我们，看来对方不准备玩些花里胡哨的战术，这是准备全力冲击我们的防线。 有其他动向吗？

KalinaHang on... I've lost contact with them... The HOCs have sent a report... The recon team is being bombarded.稍等……我失去联系了…… 火力点小组回报……侦查小组遭到火力覆盖……

DandelionThe firefight just now exposed our listening post, and the enemy brought their train-based artillery to bear. Team G1, G3 and G7 have been destroyed. Two teams from Group K were subjected to mortar bombardment while planting explosives along the railway, and they had no choice but to fall back to cover. The echelons on the main line of defense are still in cover. Group B is requesting support from Group C.刚才的交火暴露了侦查点的位置，敌方使用了列车炮，G-1、G-3、G-7小队已被击溃。 K小组有两个小队在铁道设置炸药时遭到迫击炮覆盖，现在不得不退回掩体处。 主防线的梯队还在掩蔽处，B小组申请向G小组提供支援。

CommanderDammit...they're showing us no mercy at all... Have everyone from Group G fall back. Keep the defense echelons in cover and don't let them expose themselves. They'll bombard the defense line if they reveal themselves too soon. Stick with Plan A for now.该死……真是毫不留情…… 让G小组所有小队撤退，防御梯队在掩蔽处不要暴露， 如果过早暴露防线的位置，他们一定会先进行火力覆盖。 还是按照A方案行事。

KalinaThe defense line on the Lahepere Bay front is being hit too! The Doll echelons are taking cover on the other side of the slope!拉赫维湾方面防线也遭遇轰炸！ 人形梯队已经进入反斜面躲避炮火！

CommanderAre they planning on a breakthrough there...他们准备在这个方向进行突破吗……

Meanwhile... On the Military armored train.于此同时…… 军方装甲列车。

YegorSitrep?情况如何？

AdjutantOur autonomous forces have encountered a Griffin listening post. It has been obliterated via fire support. The 52nd and 54th armored companies are deployed and the 14th infantry reconnaissance company is in position. Autonomous companies C and D are performing final adjustments and will be ready in five minutes.自律部队已和格里芬的哨点遭遇，已经通过火力支援将其消灭。52和54装甲连已经完成部署，第14侦搜步兵连也已经进入位置。 自动化C连和D连还在做最后调试，五分钟内完成准备。

YegorFollow the plan and deploy our forces with mixed human and automaton composition. Also, beware of enemy hacking. Griffin has prepared this choke point to block us. They have very few positions from which they can mount a defense, so sweep all those locations with cannonfire beforehand.按照计划将人形和步兵混合编组，另外要小心对方的电子攻击。 格里芬一定是准备在这个窄口阻击我们，它们能设防的地方非常有限，先将那些地方都用炮弹犁一遍。

AdjutantUnderstood. Will our forces still be attacking in waves? It's just a PMC. Can't we just crush them in one blow?明白。 我们的部队还是分波次进攻吗？ 只是一个安全承包商而已，一口气击溃它们不就行了吗？

YegorThat PMC is just the velvet glove over a mailed fist. There's no telling where our true enemy is hiding. We must not fail this mission - we have to act cautiously.那个承包商不过是个白手套，我们真正要面对的敌人还不知道藏在什么角落里，这次任务只能成功不能失败，我们必须要谨慎行事。

AdjutantUnderstood, sir.属下明白。

YegorPosition all our armored forces on the north flank. I'm more worried about the Paldiski Base's coastal defense batteries than Griffin. However, the fact that those cannons haven't started firing on us implies Griffin hasn't taken control of them yet.把所有装甲力量部署在北侧，相比格里芬我更担心帕尔迪斯基的海防体系。 不过既然现在那几门大炮没朝我们射击，那意味着格里芬还没能控制住那里。

AdjutantWasn't that base originally ours?那里原本不是我们的基地吗？

YegorIt used to be, but some bastard wrecked it.原本是，但是被一个混蛋糟蹋了。

AdjutantIs that why we have no choice but to take it back?所以我们才不得不重新夺回来吗？

YegorYes, we need to reclaim the base, as well as our soldier's honor, which has been trampled upon.是的，我们必须夺回来，和属于军人的已经被践踏的荣光一起。

AdjutantYes, sir! The PMC is still building up their defenses. When will we attack? The troops are in high spirits and everyone is eager to make our enemies pay. We will carry out any mission you give us, Captain.是！ 那个承包商还在构筑防御阵地。我们什么时候发动进攻？ 士兵们士气高涨，大家都急迫地想要让我们的敌人付出代价。 不管什么任务我们都会追随您的，上尉。

YegorI know, I feel the same as everyone else. But we are soldiers, and so we must obey our orders. It isn't time yet. Give them a taste of our wrath in the form of cannonfire.我知道，我的心情和大家是一样的。 但我们是军人，我们必须要服从命令。 现在还没到时候，先用炮火让它们尝尝我们的愤怒吧。

Critical Angle III 临界角III

Outside the quarantine wall.隔离墙外。

UMP45We're at the wall. Everyone out.已经到隔离墙下面了，所有人下车。

416And here I thought we'd have to dodge bullets and shells on the way in.没有我想象中的躲避炮弹的逃亡桥段呢。

UMP9Isn't that a good thing? I mean, if we started off that way, it would be really easy to end up with a crappy ending where the car blows up and everyone dies.那不是挺好的……要是一开始就这么刺激，很容易沦为车毁人亡的大烂片的。

Gr G11Don't say scary things like that!不要说得那么吓人啊！

UMP45The defense systems didn't open fire on us. Doesn't quite fit the information we were given. Check the perimeter, see if there are enemies hiding there.没有防御系统开火，和之前的情报似乎不太相符。 检查下周围，确认有没有潜在的敌人。

UMP9I'm scanning now. Haven't picked up anything suspicious yet.正在进行扫描，暂时没有发现什么可疑的敌人。

UMP45Good. According to the map annotations, there ought to be a sewer exit we can take to get inside the walls.那就好。 根据地图的标注，这边应该有个排污口可以进入隔离墙内部。

416I've found it. It's covered by a folding-type shutter. Should we blow it open?找到了，是内叠式闸门，要炸开吗？

UMP45We have no idea what's going to happen next, so we need to make sparing use of valuable items like explosives. However, 9 can crack an electronically-controlled shutter of that level. You CAN do that, right, 9?接下来要面对什么谁都不知道，炸药这种贵重的道具得节省点用。 不过是电子控制的闸门，这种程度让9破解开就行了。 没问题吧，9？

UMP9Leave it to me, 45!交给我吧，45姐！

UMP9(Gags) This place stinks!呜哇——好臭！

Gr G11Are we really going in there?真的要从里面进去么……

416Bear with it. It'll only get worse once we actually go inside.忍着点吧，进入排污通道内只会更臭的。

Distant explosions go off, one after the other.远处爆炸声不断传来。

UMP45Did you hear that?听到声音了么？

UMP9That was cannonfire. Looks like the fighting's already started on the Commander's end...是炮击的声音，恐怕指挥官那边战斗已经开始了……

416The Military's moving faster than I expected. Are you done yet, 9?军方的动作比想象中还要快，还没好吗，9？

UMP9I'm looking for the unlocking nodes! There are two control ports which need cracking, give me a hand over there, 45.已经在找解锁节点啦！ 有两个控制口需要破解，45姐你从那边帮我一下吧。

UMP45Whatever will I do with you... I'm going in too.真拿你没办法，我也一起接入吧。

After they enter the quarantine wall through the sewer...从下水道进入隔离墙后。

416I knew it would smell bad...but I didn't expect it to smell THIS bad...虽然有想象过很臭……但没想到会这么臭……

UMP45Just do what Gr G11 did and switch off your smell modules.你学G11把嗅觉模块关闭了不就好了。

416As if I'd learn from a good-for-nothing like that...我才不要学那种没出息的家伙……

UMP9Quiet, everyone... I picked up something irregular inside the passage.大家安静一些……通道内有扫描到不规则物体。

UMP45Enemies?敌人？

UMP9No...there's no signal reaction... It's probably...不……没有信号反应……应该是……

416They're remains from S.F. and Paradeus.是铁血和帕拉蒂斯的残骸。

416 leaps out of the tunnel and lands inside a room.HK416翻出了通道跳进了一个房间内。

UMP45Hmm, there are traces everywhere of a firefight between S.F. and Paradeus. Looks like they fought over the wall too.嗯，到处都是铁血和帕拉蒂斯交火的痕迹，看来这座隔离墙也被争夺过。

Gr G11Oh dear... I can't believe there are so many corpses here...呜哇……竟然有这么多残骸……

UMP9Judging by the state of these bodies, it must've happened quite a while ago...从这些残骸的痕迹看，似乎已经过了一段时间了……

UMP45Looks like Dandelion was partially right. S.F. have probably tried to take control of the base before we arrived.看来丹德莱的情报说对了一部分，铁血应该在我们来之前就已经试图控制基地了。

416So is this base under Sangvis control now?那这座基地现在归于铁血的控制下？

UMP45They probably haven't gained full control access over the base, otherwise there's no way they would leave a place as important as the quarantine wall's main gate undefended.它们应该也没完全掌握住基地的控制权，不然隔离墙大门这么重要的位置不可能没有铁血设防。

UMP9So you're saying the Commander still has a chance?那看来指挥官还有机会？

416That's only if we can open the gate before the Commander is wiped out by the Military. Plus, we have to make sure there are no other threats underground. Speaking of which, can you verify DEFY's previous coordinates?如果我们能在指挥官被军方歼灭前打开隔离墙的大门的话。 而且还要确保地下没有什么其他的威胁才行。 说起来，能确认之前“忤逆”的坐标点吗？

UMP9I can pinpoint them. Should I try to contact them?可以定位到，要试图联系她们吗？

UMP45We can't risk exposing ourselves like that. First, we need to make sure that DEFY really is at the coordinates they gave us. Come with me to check it out, 416. UMP9, Gr G11, you two guard this passage. If anything dangerous happens, we'll withdraw through it.不能就这么暴露自己，先确认是否真的是“忤逆”在那个坐标点吧。 HK416跟着我去侦察那个坐标点。 UMP9你和G11守在这个通道口，如果出现危险我们从这里撤离。

UMP9Leave it to me. ♪ Happy now, Gr G11?？交给我吧♪ 开心吗，G11？

Gr G11I...I'm overjoyed...太……太好了……

UMP45After that, close your Zener Protocol interfaces and switch to verbal communication. If need be, use radio—然后，关闭齐纳协议接口，改为语音沟通，必要时使用无线——

UMP45 suddenly stops in her tracks.UMP45突然停下了脚步。

UMP9Huh? What's wrong, 45?诶——45姐你怎么了？

UMP45I'm picking up some interference...意识有点受到干扰……

416Another forced connection?又有强制入侵？

UMP45I felt something like this in Tallinn... I'm going to take precautions just in case. This might be the reason why DEFY can't transmit to us, or it might be part of an enemy trap. In any case, send a burst message to the Commander and the AR Team. We won't make any connections until we reach the quarantine wall control room.我有种在塔林时一样的感觉……以防万一我先做好预防手段。 这可能是忤逆无法进行通讯的原因，也可能是敌人陷阱的一部分。 总之给指挥官和AR小队发送静默讯号，在控制隔离墙控制室前我们不进行任何连接。

UMP9Right, sending!好的，这就发送！

UMP45That said, getting this sensation means we're in the right place.不过如果有这种感觉，说明我们来对地方了。

416... You're just asking for it. Let's hurry up to the coordinates.…… 真是自讨苦吃，我们赶紧往坐标点前进吧。

UMP45Indeed, Captain Obvious.不用你说我也会这么做。

Shortly before...不久之前。

DestroyerI'm at the place you were talking about. What now?我已经到达你说的地方了，接下来呢？

DreamerShe's gone...她走了……

DestroyerWhat do you mean? Who's gone? Where did they go?什么意思？谁？去哪了？

DreamerMastermind relinquished her command. Don't you understand what that means? To her, we're nothing more than disposable pawns.主脑切断了指挥，你还不明白吗？ 我们对她来说，不过是用过即舍的棋子。

DreamerAnd now, it's time to take out the trash...现在，已经到了处理垃圾的时候了……

DestroyerWhat are you talking about?!你到底在说什么啊？！

A burst of intense gunfire rings out from Dreamer's end, and the transmission cuts off.梦想家那边燃起激烈的枪声，通讯中断。

DestroyerDreamer? Answer me!梦想家？回答我啊！

The sound of orderly footsteps comes from a place not far off.不远的地方传来整齐划一的脚步声。

DestroyerWho's that? Is it you, Dreamer? No, wait, the signal IFF reads...是谁？梦想家吗？ 不对，信号识别是……

As the dust clears before her, the girls' nearly-identical faces come into view.眼前的尘埃散去，少女们高度一致的面容清晰了起来。

DestroyerParadeus...what are you doing here?! You should have all been locked inside!帕拉蒂斯……为什么会在这里！ 明明那个家伙应该把你们都困在里面了才对啊！

DestroyerDammit...so you're trying to walk all over me?! Let me warn you, I'm not one to be bullied!可恶……都想踩在我头上是吗？！ 我告诉你们，我也不是好欺负的！

The Nytos disregard Destroyer's angry protests. They merely approach her in complete silence...涅托并不理睬破坏者的怒吼，只是沉默地朝她逼近着……

DestroyerWhat, are you looking down on me?! Move to attack formation and fire—!你们在看不起我吗？！ 进攻队形，开火——！

The Nytos dodge the barrage of shots with swift movements even as they close the distance to the S.F. forces with incredible speed.涅托们一边高速避开弹幕，一边飞快地缩短和铁血的距离。

DestroyerSwitch to defensive formation! Pull away from them! Fall back! Fall back!切换防御队形！拉开距离！撤退撤退！

The Nytos rip through the Sangvis forces like a streak of lightning.像一道刺眼的闪电，涅托们生生劈裂了铁血的队伍。

DestroyerRetreat! RETREAT! Retreat with me!撤退撤退！跟着我撤退啊！

However, most of the Sangvis units have already been hacked - their neural clouds are thrown into disarray, and they are unable to comply. All they can do is scatter in all directions. As she watches more and more Sangvis units being torn apart before her eyes, the only thing Destroyer can do is protect herself.然而大多数铁血人形的心智已经在入侵下陷入混乱无法执行命令，只能四散溃逃。 眼睁睁看着面前越来越多的铁血人形被打碎，破坏者只能选择自保。

DestroyerDammit dammit dammit! All remaining S.F. forces, follow me and withdraw!可恶！可恶！可恶！ 剩下的铁血，跟着我撤离！

With the last few Sangvis forces in tow, Destroyer breaks into a mad sprint towards the shore gun emplacements.带领着最后仅存的铁血，破坏者向着岸防炮塔狂奔而去。

M4 SOPMOD IIWe didn't run into any enemies along the way... I'm so boooooored...路上都没有碰到敌人啊……好无聊……

ST AR-15Isn't the lack of enemies a good thing?没敌人不是好事吗？

M4 SOPMOD IIIt is, but...I'm still booooooooored up here on the roof...好事是好事……可是我在车顶好无聊啊……

RO635I wouldn't mind if this boredom went on a little longer...我宁愿这样无聊的时间可以更久一些……

RO635The road conditions here are terrible, we can't drive too fast.这边的路况太差了，不能开得太快。

RO635And the map didn't include any geographical data about this place.而且地图中并没有相关的地形数据。

M4A1Dandelion isn't all-powerful. I can hear explosions - we need to get to our objective ASAP.丹德莱也不是万能的。 我们自己想办法尽快赶到目的地，我已经听到爆炸声了。

ST AR-15The Military must be hitting them with a barrage. They're going to exchange fire soon. I wonder if the Commander can really last 30 minutes...军方应该在进行火力准备。 很快交火就会开始，指挥官能坚持完那30分钟么……

M4A1The Commander WILL make it, and every second we buy will raise the Commander's chances that much more...指挥官一定能坚持住的，而我们每多争取一秒就为指挥官多争取一分胜算。

ST AR-15Got it. We're all ready.明白，我们都已经准备好了。

M4A1Yeah...me too. Wait a minute, is this...a burst signal?嗯……我也是。 等下，静默信号……？

ST AR-15What happened?怎么了？

M4A1404 picked up some kind of forced connection like the kind in Tallinn. They'll be going offline after this.404那边侦察到和塔林一样的强制连接干扰，接下来她们会进入离线状态进行任务。

ST AR-15In other words, there are Nytos or Isomers in the base.也就是说基地中有涅托或者异构体的存在。

M4A1Dandelion.丹德莱。

DandelionThe results from your scans are correct. I have not detected any related signals. However...你的扫描的结果是正确的，没有发现任何有关的信号，不过……

M4A1However?不过？

DandelionHowever, I can "feel" something...不过我能“感觉”到……

DandelionI guess you've felt it too, or rather, right now everyone has—我想你也应该感觉到了，应该说现在所有人都——

M4A1What do you mean?什么意思？

M4 SOPMOD IIWhoa! Look at the sky!呜哇！你们看天空！

M4A1!！

ST AR-15Is that...a blue aurora?蓝色的……极光？

RO635But how could there be an aurora here? Also, isn't this daytime?但这里怎么会有极光呢？而且现在不是白天么？

M4A1An aurora?极光？

DandelionIt's not just the aurora.不仅仅是极光。

???Will we see that scene from back then in this place too?那个时候的景象，在这里还能见到么？

???We can find closure here, and the storm stirred up by the butterfly's wings will come to an end.在此处就能终结，蝴蝶扇起的风暴也即将终止。

???Surely Father's wish will be fulfilled now.这样父亲的愿望也能够实现了吧。

M4A1These voices are...这个声音是……

DandelionIt seems you "feel" it too.看来你也“感觉”到了。

M4A1What's happening inside the base?基地中发生了什么吗？

DandelionThe OGAS signal broadcast has grown stronger. It seems that whatever 16 is doing, her plan is now rapidly accelerating.OGAS信号的传播被强化了，看来不管16想做什么，她的计划已经进入冲刺阶段了。

M4A1...Is it the Starfish? What exactly does it hide?……是“海星”吗，那里究竟藏着什么？

DandelionThat is not something I have an answer to.这就不是我所能知道的事了。

...Inside the Military train.……军方列车内。

YegorAre you sure? Can you verify that there is an aurora in the airspace above the base?你确定吗？可以捕捉到基地上空有极光现象？

SignallerY-yes...是、是的……

YegorSend me the image data.把图像信息发过来。

YegorHm...嗯……

AdjutantCaptain, is it time?上尉，是时候了么？

YegorHave all units prepare to attack. Then put me on a direct line to Moscow.让所有单位做好进攻的准备，帮我接通莫斯科的专线。

AdjutantYes, sir.是。

An encrypted transmission begins...加密通讯频道。

YegorGeneral Carter, the phenomenon you mentioned earlier has occurred.卡特将军，之前您提到的情况出现了。

CarterI know. Our comrades have made their move. The mainframe has been activated. Time is of the essence - the server inside that base must be activated as well.我知道，我们的同志已经行动了。总机已经被启动了，时间有限，那座基地中的分机也必须启动。

YegorLooks like he didn't lie to us.看来那个家伙没有骗我们。

CarterWe have paid everything we can pay, so we must take everything we are owed. He wasn't trustworthy given the circumstances, and it was only a matter of time before he betrayed us. But we can no longer hesitate now.我们已经付出了一切我们可以付出的，所以我们也要拿到一切我们应该拿到的。 在这种形式下那个家伙不值得信任，出卖我们只是时间问题，但是现在已经容不得我们犹豫了。

YegorUnderstood. I will complete the mission as soon as possible.明白，我们会尽快完成任务。

CarterEven now, those traitors are arresting our compatriots. There isn't much time left for you. Don't let their sacrifice be in vain.那些卖国者已经在搜捕我们的同志了，留给你的时间不多了。不要白费他们的牺牲。

YegorI guarantee that I will complete the mission. I will take the base before the mainframe is shut down.保证完成任务，我会在总机被关闭前拿下基地。

The encrypted transmission ends.加密通讯结束。

YegorComrades, inform the frontline units - begin the attack, and crush Griffin!诸位同志，通知前线部队——发起攻势，击溃格里芬！

Sine Curve 正弦曲线

The choke point eight kilometers away from Paldiski Base is filled with clouds of gun smoke and the flames of cannonfire. The earth rumbles... The Dolls frantically scramble into their trenches to avoid the blasts and shrapnel as shells rain down on them... And as for the Dolls who have already fallen, the repeated explosions blast their parts in all directions. The blizzard whipping through the Estonian sky is a sign of the Military's victory.帕尔迪斯基八公里外的窄口中，弥漫着爆炸的硝烟和炮击的火焰。 大地在震动…… 遭到火力覆盖的人形拼命地埋进战壕中躲避弹片…… 而已经倒下的人形，因为一轮又一轮的轰击，素体零件被炸得四散飞溅。 风雪交加的爱沙尼亚上空，正昭示着军方的胜利。

Military TrooperSir, we've finished a round of effective fire from the train guns.报告，列车炮一个基数的效力射完毕。

After the soldier delivers his report to his squad leader, the latter takes up his binoculars and observes the point of impact. Griffin's recon teams were spotted moving around there several minutes ago, but after a few rounds of fire, they no longer blacken his line of sight.士兵向面前的队长报告完毕后，队长拿起望远镜再次观测炮击点。 几分钟之前，格里芬的侦查小队频频在附近出没，然而在几轮炮击后，视野中很快清净了。

Military OfficerCarry on. The enemy is hunkering down in the choke point. Give them another full volley.继续，对方一定在窄口设防，再进行一个基数的徐进齐射。

Military TrooperUnderstood.了解。

Military OfficerQuartz, this is Hematite. The attack order has been given. Enemy coordinates are PE-454-321-12. Begin a creeping barrage in 20 seconds and bombard those coordinates for 15 minutes.呼叫石英，这里是赤铁矿，攻击命令已经下达，敌信号坐标PE-454-321-12，20秒后开始下一轮徐进炮击，15分钟火力覆盖。

AAT-52You worked me so hard I thought I would run out of power before the enemy even showed up!让我干这么多体力活，军方还没来我的电池就耗完啦！

Meanwhile, Thompson, who has been separated from the others, is desperately trying to find her teammates.与此同时，分散在另一处的汤姆森正在焦急地寻找失联的队员。

ThompsonGroup B to all Squad B members, recon team reports enemy forces approaching, get to battle stations ASAP and carry out the defense plan.B小组呼叫B各小队成员，侦查小组回复敌方正在朝我们靠近，尽快进入战斗位置执行防御计划。

ThompsonI repeat, enemy forces approaching,  get to battle stations ASAP and carry out the defense plan. God dammit, why did comms have to cut out now of all times...重复一遍，敌方正在朝我们靠近，尽快进入战斗位置执行防御计划。 可恶，怎么挑这个时候通讯失灵……

AAT-52 and STEN MkII are lost on the other end of the battlefield.AAT-52和司登迷失在战场的另一边。

AAT-52The shells are still flying! Where's our team leader?炮弹还在天上飞呢！ 我们的队长呢？

STEN MkIIThere's no response from the comms...通讯没有反应……

AAT-52Are we the only ones left...? Quick, look for Dummies that have lost their mainframes; we can't let the defense line crumble on our watch!只剩我们了么……赶紧连线失去主机的傀儡，这边的防线可不能丢在我们手里！

AAT-52Hurry! Hurry! Jump in! The enemy really is closing in... We need to stick to the plan and let them pass over our heads...快快！跳进来！ 果然敌人已经逼近我们了……我们得按照计划让他们从我们头上过去……

STEN MkIIWe're pretty well concealed here, but... But if they find us...we won't even have the chance to return fire...虽然这里已经很隐蔽了…… 可是万一被敌人发现……我们连反抗的机会都没有啊……

Inside the train's command room.列车指挥室内。

CommanderDandelion, how's the situation?丹德莱，情况如何？

DandelionWe've jammed the Military's scanning frequencies as planned. The enemy hasn't discovered our ambush positions yet. I have subverted part of the Military's autonomous units, but the opposition has isolated their signals, so there aren't many units which can be used to fight.按照计划干扰了军方的扫描波段，敌方没有发现我方的埋伏阵地。 现已经夺取了部分军方的自律单位，但是对方已经做了信号隔绝，可以夺取用作行动的单位并不多。

CommanderThat's all, huh.只是这样吗。

DandelionA moment please... The Military is resisting our hacking and is attempting to counter-jam our frequencies. It will take a while before communications can resume. The last message from our comms indicates that Group B attacked the Military's infantry from behind and has thrown back the first wave of enemies. Our forces have taken 60% casualties, but they can still hold the line.稍等……军方正在对抗我们的入侵，并且在试图干扰我们通讯，通讯恢复需要一段时间。 从通讯最后获得的信息，B小组从后方攻击了军方的步兵，已经将敌人第一波攻势击退。 我方减员60%，还能够继续支撑防线。

CommanderSounds like good news. How fares the north side, Kalina?看来是好消息。 格琳娜，北线的情况如何？

KalinaComms on my side are jammed too. The northern forces were exchanging fire with enemy units three minutes ago, and the echelon leaders reported that their losses were minimal.我这边通讯也被干扰了。 3分钟前北线梯队正在和敌方单位交火，梯队队长回报我们的损失并不大。

CommanderThe enemy didn't launch an assault? What are they afraid of...? Is it the coastal defense guns in the base?对方没有直接突击？ 是在忌惮什么……是在害怕基地中的岸防炮吗。

KalinaI wonder if M4 and the others have made it there...不知道M4她们有没有赶到那里……

The sound of continuous gunfire and explosions drifts over from the distance. The window frame trembles faintly.远处不断传来枪声和爆炸声，窗框在微微震动着。

CommanderSomething doesn't sound right. Why are the shells falling outside the northern defense line...? Dandelion, can you restore comms?声音不太对劲，为什么炮弹在北线防线的外侧…… 丹德莱，还不能恢复通讯吗？

DandelionThe Military jamming is severe. I'm currently doing my best to preserve Zener Network connectivity.军方的干扰非常严重，我正在尽可能维持齐纳网络的连接。

CommanderKalina, fetch me the binoculars.格琳娜，把望远镜给我。

Through the binoculars, Griffin Dolls can be seen in the distance, running frantically over open ground to avoid the shower of artillery shells. Many Dolls try to run back to the defense line, but the explosions soon engulf them.从望远镜中看出去，远处格里芬的人形梯队在空地上拼命躲避着横飞的炮弹，不少人形试图跑回防线，但很快就被炮火吞没。

CommanderDamned Military!该死的军方！

On the other side.另一边。

Military OfficerIt was as you said. After they were jammed, the Dolls were easily drawn out.和您说的一样，被干扰后的人形很简单就被诱引出来了。

YegorHumph. That's all there is to civilian Dolls. Continue jamming their networks. Dolls without a human Commander are nothing but trash. Are the armored units ready?哼，民用的人形就不过如此而已。 继续干扰他们的网络，没有人类指挥的人形就和废物没什么区别。 装甲部队准备完毕了么？

Military OfficerHematite to Zircon, what is your status, are you ready to move out? Over.这里是赤铁矿，呼叫锆石，准备如何，可否出动，完毕。

YegorYes, send them out.嗯，让他们出发。

YegorBreak through Griffin's defense line and transfer some forces to Quartz. Your priority is to take control of the naval defense platforms, and then come back to exterminate these vermin.突破格里芬的防线，抽调一只部队配合石英，优先把海防平台控制住，然后回过头来把这些废物歼灭殆尽。

Military OfficerHematite copies, beginning operation. Transferring a mobile team from Attack Route 12 to cover Quartz, as outlined in Plan B. Over.赤铁矿收到，开始行动，按照B计划抽调一个机组从十二号进攻路线掩护石英，完毕。

Armored Unit OfficerZircon copies, we're setting out right now. Over.锆石收到，我们立即出发，完毕。

YegorGive them one last creeping barrage. It'll be danger close; be mindful of friendly positions.再追加最后一轮徐进射击，危险距离，注意我方的位置。

Military OfficerYes sir!是！

KalinaCommander, the Military armored units have begun their assault on the northern defense line! It's a saturation attack, our HOCs can't stop them! Losses to our frontline Doll echelons are over 85%!指挥官，军方的装甲部队开始突击北线防线！ 是饱和攻击，我们的重装小队根本拦不住！ 前线的我方人形梯队损失率已超过85%！

CommanderWe're just too weak, huh... Dandelion, can you have the northern echelons fall back to our train? If their armored units flank this train, then we're done for.果然实力差距太大了吗…… 丹德莱，能让北线的梯队重新向我们的列车靠拢吗？ 如果他们的装甲部队从侧面袭击这辆列车，那我们都要交代在这里。

DandelionI'm relaying orders now and reorganizing our remaining forces in the most optimal manner. Also, the backup Dolls have pinpointed the location of the armored units. They are not trying to approach the train's position. Their objective is probably the coastal gun platforms. Once they break through our lines, they'll probably head for it at full speed.我正在分发命令，已用最优方式整编剩余的梯队。 另外，装甲部队的位置被预备队的人形捕捉到，并未朝我方列车位置靠拢。 他们的目标应该是岸防炮平台，只要突破我们防线，一定会扑过去的。

CommanderThat's worse than if they were headed right for us... Send this news to the AR Team. Make sure they know they have to reach the shore guns before the Military!这比直接冲着我们来更糟糕了…… 把这个信息传递给AR小队，让她们一定要比军方更早到达岸防炮！

DandelionAttempting to contact them.正在试图联系她们。

CommanderHow's Squad 404? Have they still not found a way open the main gate?404小队如何了？隔离墙的大门还不能打开么？

KalinaThey're still running silent...她们还处在静默状态……

CommanderContinue to monitor their transmissions. We'll move once we get word from them. (Sighs) I told them we could hold out for 30 minutes, but it's only been 10 minutes... We're sitting ducks here until that gate opens!继续注意她们的通讯，得到她们的消息我们就行动。 哈……刚才说能坚持30分钟，这才过去十分钟…… 在大门打开前，我们就是活靶子！

KalinaCommander...指挥官……

DandelionCommander, the ECCM is effective; our comms have been partially restored.指挥官，电子对抗生效了，我们的部分通讯恢复了。

CommanderHave the northern echelons begun withdrawing?北线梯队开始撤离了？

DandelionThey're trying to regroup, but there's a sustained barrage targeted at them. Also, the southern defense line is taking a second round of attacks. The enemy's human infantry are moving up and there are no autonomous units to hack. Losses on the southern line are up to 70%. Should we order them to continue fighting?她们正在试图重整，但是也有针对她们的持续火力打击。 另外，现南部防线正在遭到第二次冲击，敌人的人类步兵贴上来了，没有自律单位可以入侵。 南部防线的损失也增加到了70%，是否让她们继续抵抗？

Commander... ...Have them pull back to the train as well. Instruct the backup teams to prepare for combat.…… ……让她们也朝列车撤退，让预备队做好投入作战的准备。

DandelionYes, Commander.是。

... In a corner of the battlefield. The Dolls here are carrying on perfectly normally, as though the gunfire and chaos outside have nothing to do with this place.…… 战场一隅。 人形们维持着正常的运作，外界的枪炮声与混乱都像是与这里无关似的。

CF-05Girls! Orders from the Commander!妹儿！指挥官的命令来了！

Gr SL8Patch them in. Yes... Understood.接入吧。 是……明白了。

CF-05Why are you making that face?怎么这个表情？

Gr SL8When the Commander gives orders, you've got to listen solemnly! Don't worry, everything's still going as planned. Everyone, prepare to withdraw! Guard your mainframes well, and if need be, use your Dummies as meat shields指挥官下了命令，当然要严肃地听啦！ 别担心，一切都还在计划内。 大家开始后撤！保护好自己的主机，必要的时候用傀儡做挡箭牌也可以。

CF-05Right. Everyone, step lively!要得——各位！整活了！

A gunshot rings out.一声枪响。

Gr SL8...Well, that was fast. Everyone, get ready for battle!……来得真快。各位，作战准备！

CommandoI've spotted some remaining Dolls... Everyone, on me!发现残余的人形……所有人跟我来！

ThompsonAll forces, retreat!全队开始撤离！

IngramWe can't! We can't go yet! Our other echelons are still in their positions!不行，还不能走！ 我们的其他梯队还在阵地上！

Gr MP5Ingram, now's not the time for heroics. The Commander's given orders!MAC10，现在不是装酷的时候，指挥官已经下命令了！

IngramHuh? You want me to go when P7's still in danger?啊？P7她们都还没能脱险，我就这么走人？

Gr MP5Ingram...you...MAC10……你……

IngramGive me your Dummies! I'll hold the enemy off!把傀儡交给我！我来阻击敌人！

ThompsonYou stay behind, Ingram. Everyone else, give your Dummies to her, then fall back with me.MAC10留下，其余队员将傀儡都交给她，然后和我一起撤退。

Gr MP5But...可是……

IngramThat's more like it. Thanks, boss.这才像话嘛，谢啦老大。

Gr MP5Are we going to abandon Ingram? Are we...going to abandon everyone else?我们要放弃MAC10了吗？ 要放弃……其他的，所有的队友了吗？

ThompsonDon't let Ingram's sacrifice go to waste. All we can do is repay her in the end by winning.不要辜负MAC-10。 我们能做的，只有用最后获得的胜利回应她。

Ingram doesn't look back at her teammates as they retreat. She rubs her tired eyes and leads the remaining Dummies towards the Military commandos—MAC-10没有看向队友撤离的方向。 她擦了擦疲惫的眼睛，带领剩下的傀儡向军方的突击部队冲去——

More gunshots.枪声再次响起。

Inside the train's command room.列车指挥室内。

KalinaCommander...there are fewer and fewer echelons capable of responding to us at the forward defense line... And the Military units are now within two kilometers of us.指挥官……前线防线能跟我们联系的梯队越来越少了…… 而且军方的部队已经逼近到我们2公里内了。

CommanderActivate the train's defensive weapons. Let the enemy vanguard past, then interdict the battlefield. Do your best to cover the retreating echelons. Commit all of our reserves, have them block the enemy forces along with the retreating echelons.启动列车的防御武器，放过敌人先头然后遮断战场，尽可能为撤退的梯队提供掩护。 把所有的预备队投入进去，和撤退的梯队一起阻击对方的部队。

DandelionOur train is almost out of ammunition.我们的列车炮弹药已经所剩无几了。

Commander...I know. Still no word from 404?……我知道。 404还没有发来消息吗？

KalinaNot yet... Come on, Miss 45... Please, hurry up!还没有……45小姐……求求你们再快一些……！

On Squad 404's end.404小队一侧。

UMP45We're almost at the coordinates. Considering how I'm not picking up any other movement, it seems our allies are being pretty calm.就快到坐标的位置了。现在还没有其他的动静，我们的友方真沉得住气啊。

416Gunshots!是枪声！

??Oh my, it seems our reinforcements are quite cautious, given how they've shut off their Zener Protocol ports.哎呀，竟然关闭了协议接口，看来我们的援军很谨慎呢。

???Ammo reserves are almost dry. I do not recommend wasting processor cycles on idle chatter.弹药库存即将耗尽，我不建议你在这时候用闲聊占据我的运算空间。

UMP45They're transmitting over unencrypted radio? Reply to their transmission.明码无线电？接入通讯回应吧。

416This is Squad 404, operating with Griffin. Identify yourselves.这里是随格里芬行动的404小队，表明你的身份。

RPK-16The two of us are members of Task Force DEFY. I was just about to say that our take-out ought to have arrived by now.这里是忤逆小队的两名成员，我正想说我们的支援外卖也该送来了吧。

416Are you currently in control of the barrier gate?你们现在控制住了隔离墙大门？

RPK-16Yes we are, it's under our control, at least while our ammo holds out. So whatever you're thinking of doing, you'd better do it fast.没错，它在我们的控制中，至少在我们弹药用完之前的确如此。 所以不管你们想做什么，都尽快实行比较好哦。

The transmission ends.通讯结束了。

UMP45The voiceprint matches the previous transmission. Let's go up and help them.声纹和之前的通讯一致，我们上去帮助她们吧。

416Got it. We'll go in from the left. Mind your fire.收到，我们从左侧进入，注意识别火力。

Diffraction Grating 光栅

UMP45As I thought, this base still contains functional Paradeus units. 416, have 9 and Gr G11 come up here. I'd say the enemies on this side have all been wiped out.果然基地中还有能动的帕拉蒂斯。 416，让9和G11都上来，这边的敌人应该都已经歼灭完了。

AK-15Thanks for the support.感谢支援。

UMP45You're welcome. Where's the control panel? We need to open the gate right now.不客气，控制平台在哪里，我们得马上打开大门才行。

RPK-16You'd think they'd be at least show us a little concern, wouldn't you?我还以为你会关心一下我们的状态呢？

UMP45Since when was it in my place to care about how Task Force DEFY is faring?什么时候轮得到我来关心忤逆小队成员的状态了？

RPK-16How does 404 perceive those of us on Task Force DEFY, I wonder?404眼中的忤逆小队究竟是什么样子呢？

UMP45More robust than a tank. At the very least, they don't need to be babied by fragile little civilian Dolls like ourselves. Now where is that control panel?比坦克还要结实，至少不需要我们这些脆弱的民用人形来关心。 控制平台在哪里？

RPK-16Over here, and here's the encryption dongle.就在这，密码棒也在这里。

UMP45Thank you. 416, go activate the control panel.谢谢，416，你去启动控制平台。

416Got it.明白。

RPK-16I mean, we're all Dolls here, so why is there such a huge cognitive bias? How positively bizarre. Won't you say something? Your words carry the most weight here, you know.明明大家都是人形，居然会有这样的认知偏差，真是奇妙。 不说两句么？你应该是最有发言权的人形哦？

AK-15I only have two mags left.我现在只剩下两个弹匣。

RPK-16As humorless as ever. Still, that's just like you.一如既往地缺乏幽默感啊。 不过这才是你。

UMP945, you made it... Whoa! Who's that lying on the ground?!45姐你们成功啦……呜啊！！ 地上怎么躺着个人！

RPK-16Oh, this was our original Commander. Well, he's passed out now, and about as much use as a tiger with a broken spine, so I took over command.哦，这位是我们的原临时指挥官。 现在他昏迷过去了，就像折断了脊柱的老虎一样没有用处，所以我就顺手接过指挥了。

AK-15RPK, your leadership is far worse than Mr. K's. Otherwise, we wouldn't be stuck in this control room.RPK你的指挥和“K”先生比差太多了。 不然我们也不会被堵在控制室了。

RPK-16Dolls can't replace humans, after all. Not even someone like this.毕竟人形是不能替代人的，就算是这样的人也一样。

UMP45... So this is K. I've only ever heard his name in combat logs. What about the rest of DEFY? Where's Ange?…… 原来这位就是“K”，我只在作战记录里见过他的名字。 忤逆其他人呢？ 还有安洁在哪里？

RPK-16We were ambushed by S.F. during our mission and got separated from them during our withdrawal. Our original commander took a bullet, but before he passed out, he ordered us to hold this position and wait for you.我们在任务中被铁血埋伏了，在撤退中和她们失散了，我们的原指挥官也不幸中弹，他在失去意识前交代我们要守住这里等你们。

416I've finished activating the gate controls.大门程序已经启动完毕。

UMP45Open the gate, then. 9, contact the Commander.打开大门，9，联系指挥官。

UMP9Okie-doke!好嘞！

UMP45Sync the path you took out of the base with us. We need to find Ange and the rest of DEFY.你们从基地内出来的通道路线同步给我们，我们需要找到安洁和剩下的忤逆。

RPK-16You're planning to charge in there while you're so lightly armed? I commend your courage in throwing yourself into the fray like a moth to the flame. For the sake of the mission, how about letting AK-15 go with you?你们打算就这样轻装上阵地冲进去？ 宛如扑火的飞蛾一样勇气可嘉呢。 为了任务着想，让AK15跟你们一起行动怎么样？

AK-15I only have two mags left.我现在只剩下两个弹匣。

RPK-16But that's not a problem for you, is it? Oh... I see, you don't want to run into 12, is that it?这对你来说不是问题吧？ 啊……我知道了，你不想见到12对不对？

UMP45I appreciate your concern, but we're not used to other Dolls joining us on ops either. Please sync the route to us and we'll set off right away. Griffin's forces will link up with you shortly. Our Commander will provide you with support.心领了，我们也不习惯其他人形参与我们小队的行动。 请将路线同步给我们，我们马上就出发。 格里芬的部队很快会和你们汇合，我们的指挥官会为你们提供帮助。

RPK-16Ehhhh... Alright then. I've sent the data over. Good luck. You'll need it.欸……那好吧，信息已同步，祝你们好运。你们会用得上的。

Waveguide I 波导管I

DandelionOur echelons are on the verge of collapse. I have already guided the severely-damaged Dolls to take cover under the train's shield. However, we will not last long like this.我方梯队已经快被击溃了，我已经引导严重受损的人形进入列车的护盾中。 但是这样无法坚持太久。

CommanderI know. How many more echelons are we still missing?我知道。 还有多少梯队没有撤回来？

KalinaI'm unable to contact a lot of echelons... Only about 10% of the frontline forces have returned to the fall-back position...许多梯队联系不上…… 撤回预备队位置的人形只占防线梯队总数的10%……

CommanderDammit... How could this...该死……这不可能……

KalinaCommander...指挥官……

DandelionA transmission for you.有通讯接入。

CommanderIs it 404?是404么？

Kalina... No... It's from the Military. They're advising us to surrender.…… 不……是军方的劝降广播。

YegorTo the Dolls of Griffin and their Commander — you are all guilty of treason and this is our ultimatum to you. Your forces are in tatters. You have no hope. Your only way out is to surrender! Disarm yourselves and let us past, or our forces will crush you like insects! I repeat — the Special Operations Command has issued you an ultimatum...格里芬的指挥官与人形们，你们已被定为叛国者，现在向你们宣读最终通牒。 你们的部队已经被击溃，你们已经没有任何希望了，你们的出路只有投降！ 现在立即解除武装并让出道路，否则我军就像碾死虫子一样歼灭你们！再重复一遍——特种作战司令部向你们最后一次宣读通告……

CommanderTurn it off!关掉！

Kalina...Are we going to surrender?……我们要投降吗？

CommanderWe will NEVER surrender.我们决不投降。

Beep-beep.滴滴。

UMP45I expected nothing less of you, Commander. Truly, that is the resolve of someone who is worth following. Sorry to have kept you waiting, the battle before this must have been hard on you.不愧是指挥官，这才是值得我们追随的人的决定。 抱歉让大家久等了，之前的战斗辛苦大家了。

CommanderIs that 404?! Are they finally getting in touch?!404？已经可以进行联络了？！

UMP45That's right, we've linked up with Task Force DEFY — part of it, at least. We've opened the barrier gate to the base. The quarantine wall is secure and you may now enter.没错，我们已经和忤逆小队汇合——至少是一部分基地的隔离门已经打开了。 隔离墙位置没有危险，可以进入。

CommanderThank you for this information. Kalina, start the train. Prepare to have our Dolls board and evacuate.感谢你们的情报。 格琳娜，启动列车，准备让我们的人形上车撤离。

KalinaGot it!明白！

UMP45Mr. K is currently unconscious in the control room. His condition is stable, so please come over to collect him, if you don't mind. The new members of DEFY who came with him also require supplies and await new directives. We'll head into the base to scout it out. If we find the rest of DEFY and Ange, we'll contact you.“K”先生正在控制室中昏迷，状况稳定，麻烦您进行回收。 和他一起的忤逆小队的新成员也需要补给和指挥。 我们会先行进入基地进行侦查，如果找到忤逆和安洁会及时和您联系。

CommanderRoger. Thank you for your hard work. You truly never fail to deliver.收到，辛苦你们了。 你真是从不会让人失望啊。

UMP45We're always worth our price tag. I hope you'll live long enough to pay up.我们永远是物超所值的，希望您能活到为我们付款的那一天。

CommanderI hope so too. Dandelion, speed up the evacuation. Bring the girls back ASAP.我也希望如此。 丹德莱，加快队伍撤离速度。把姑娘们尽快撤下来。

DandelionNow allocating most optimal withdrawal routes. Shall we use the remaining ammunition to provide cover fire for them? I should point out that we do not even have enough to deliver a full volley...正在分配最优撤退路径，是否要调配库存的炮弹为她们提供掩护。 我提示您，我们只剩下一个基数不到的……

CommanderThen fire half a volley. I'm not leaving behind a single one of them.把半个基数打出去，我要每一个人都能回来。

...At the frontline between Griffin and the Military.……格里芬对军方战线。

L85A1 has been cornered by the Military's commandos.L85A1已经被军方的突击队逼到角落。

Welrod MkIIWe're not going to make it, are we?要赶不上了吗？

CommandoGo to hell!去死吧！

Bang! The one who falls is the Military commando.砰—— 倒下的，是军方的突击队员。

Another CommandoSergeant!中士！

Bang. Another commando bites the dust.砰。 下一秒，又有一名突击队员倒下。

Commando LeaderAMBUSH! Get to cover!有埋伏！找掩体！

The members of the commando team immediately dive behind the nearest low wall, but the bullets still pierce the masonry and their chests.突击队员立即跳进最近的矮墙中，但子弹依旧穿透了墙壁击穿了他的胸膛。

IWS 2000Looks like we made it by the skin of our teeth.千钧一发，看来是赶上了。

Welrod MkIIYou...you're from Group D!你们……是D小组的梯队！

IWS 2000Good thing we came over to check one last time. We were separated from many of our teammates while comms were jammed. Come, fall back with us!幸好我们最后来看了一眼，通讯被干扰导致我们和很多队友失散了。 你就跟着我们一起撤离吧！

Welrod MkIIAlright!好……！

AUGWe ought to be the last echelon. Time is of the essence; we need to withdraw ASAP. The Commander says the train is about to start up.我们应该是最后一支梯队了，抓紧时间向后撤离。 指挥官说列车马上就要启动了。

Welrod hoists L85A1 onto her back.维尔德背起L85A1。

Welrod MkIIGot it.明白。

On the other front...另一边……

IngramThis should be enough... Now everyone will be able to go home...这样就够了……这样大家就能回去了……

MP41Everyone stop! We have more Dolls over here! Hey hey hey, don't go falling asleep now! Neural cloud backups aren't like how they used to be.大家快停下！ 这里还有我们的人形！ 喂喂，可别在这里睡着啊，现在心智备份已经不像以前那样了。

IngramHuh? You...you're from Group G? I thought you were all...咦，你是……G小组？ 我还以为你们已经……

MP41As if a mere few shells would take out an elite squad like ours! Now get on your feet, or we won't make it!不过是几发炮弹，怎么可能打倒我们这种精英小队啊！ 快点爬起来，再不走就来不及了！

Kar98kFall back as fast as you can. I'll cover you.抓紧时间撤离，我来掩护你们。

MP41Urk, Fräulein Kar sure is strict. Come on, then! Your team must be waiting for you to go back!呃，前辈真是严格。 那么来吧，你的小队一定还等着你回去！

Ingram...Yes...yes...yes! Please help me up!……是的……是的……是的！ 麻烦你拉我起来！

CF-05Tsk! What a pain!呿！真是难整！

Gr SL8Conserve your ammo. Our priority is withdrawal. Are there any more Dolls coming back?节约子弹，以撤离为优先。还有人形回来吗？

CF-05Doesn't look like there's anyone else... Shall we go?好像已经没有了……走着？

Gr SL8The Military is much more powerful than expected... We played it very safe, but we were still really lucky to have lived as long as we did.军方的实力远远超出预计啊…… 就算我们采取保守策略，能活到现在也算是运气不错了。

CF-05So does this mean we're leaving now?你的意思是不等了吗？

Gr SL8Of course not! Wait a little longer. What if someone is still on the way back?当然不！再等等，万一还有人在回来的路上呢。

CF-05Hehe, I'm with you there. It's good to live and eat hotpot, but it only tastes good when you eat it with a lot of people. ...Caution! Unknown targets in the distance!嘿嘿，我想也是。有命吃火锅是好事，那也得人多才好吃。 ……警戒！远处有未知目标！

Gr SL8Are the Military charging again? That can't be. Right now...军方又发动冲锋了？不应该啊，这个时间……

CF-05No...wait... They're with us! Several of our girls are retreating this way! Quick, we have to help them!不……等等……是我们的人！有几个妹儿撤离回来了！ 快，我们得快点帮她们！

...In the train's command room.……列车指挥部。

KalinaCommander, all the Dolls who responded to our hails should be back by now! Should we let them board?指挥官！所有响应我们的人形都已经撤离回来了。 是否要让她们登车？

CommanderGood! Have everyone fall back with the train and prepare to rally our forces. Dandelion, prepare to start up the train!好！让大家随列车撤退，准备重振旗鼓。 丹德莱，准备启动列车！

Dandelion30 seconds required for all Dolls to board.人形装载还需要30秒。

CommanderAlright, make it quick and move on to the next step.好，立刻推进下一步方案。

KalinaCommander, someone's on the comms. It's Task Force DEFY, should I put them through?指挥官，有通讯呼叫，是忤逆小队，要接入么？

CommanderDo it.接进来。

RPK-16Forgive me for this direct communiqué, Griffin Commander. I apologize for being the bearer of bad news. I asked 404's leader to give me this frequency; there is information that I need to share with you right away. We noticed a small breach caused by a blast in the northern quarantine wall. It was very neatly done, probably the work of veterans. The Military might have slipped a team through the breach. I believe you've already sent people to seize the coastal defense artillery, but the Military taking the path through the breach might very well beat you to them. Therefore, I urge you to keep an eye on their movements.请允许我直接通话，格里芬的指挥官，抱歉带来了坏消息。 我要求404的队长将直接通讯频道交给我了，我有一些情况必须立即和您同步一下。 我们注意到北侧隔离墙上被炸出了一个小缺口，手法很干净，应该是老兵。 军方可能有一支队伍从缺口方向渗透过去了。 我想您已经安排人手去夺取岸防炮了，这个路线很有可能超过他们的速度。 所以请您务必注意那支队伍的动向。

CommanderReceived. Thank you all for your hard work. Our armored train is preparing to pass through the quarantine wall and begin the next step of our blockade. It would be a great help if you could activate the wall's defensive installations. Anything that could launch an attack would be good.收到。辛苦你们了，我们的装甲列车正准备进入隔离墙进行下一步的阻击。 你们是否可以启动隔离墙上的防御设施？任何什么只要能进行攻击的都可以。

RPK-16We'll do our best, the same way drowning fish poke their heads out of the water in search of oxygen.我们会拼命想办法，就像即将溺死的鱼为了氧气拼命探出水面一样。

Commander...Thanks? Kalina, can you contact the AR Team now?……感谢。 格琳娜，现在能联系上AR小队吗？

KalinaNo problem at all. Establishing communication.没问题，现在就开始联络。

M4A1...Commander, are you alright?……指挥官，你们还好吧？

CommanderWe managed to waylay the Military, at least, but you'd better pick up the pace. The Military blasted a hole in the quarantine wall... And their aim is the same as ours... They want the shore guns.至少我们挡住军方了，但是你们要加快脚步了。 军方在隔离墙上炸出了缺口…… 而他们的目的和我们一样…… 他们要夺取岸防炮。

Beam Splitter 分束器

...At the Military staging area.……军方驻扎点。

Mobile Team LeaderQuartz to Terra, we've succeeded in breaching the quarantine wall. Proceeding with the mission. Over.石英呼叫大地，我们已经成功打开隔离墙一角，现在将继续推进任务，完毕。

YegorTerra copies. Don't be careless. Over.大地收到，不要大意，完毕。

Mobile Team LeaderCopy that. Quartz out.石英收到，完毕。

Yegor ends the transmission.叶戈尔切断了通讯。

YegorHow goes the extermination of Griffin?对格里芬的歼灭进展如何？

Military OfficerSir, Griffin is still putting up a fight. We are attempting to eliminate them without damaging the railway.报告，格里芬还在抵抗。 我们正试图在不伤及铁路的情况下消灭她们。

YegorIt's nothing but pointless resistance. Hammer them, do not let up on the offensive. Griffin won't be able to hold on for long.格里芬只是在做无用的抵抗，咬紧他们，不要放缓攻势。 很快格里芬就会坚持不住的。

Military OfficerSir.是。

...In the train command room.……列车指挥室。

CommanderHow many rounds do we have left for our cannons?格琳娜，我们的列车炮还有多少弹药？

KalinaWe don't even have enough to fire half a volley!不足半个基数了！

DandelionAll Dolls have boarded. We can start the train up.所有人形已经登车，现在可以启动了。

CommanderNow! Target the Military units...and give them everything we've got!就是现在！ 锁定军方部队……全部打出去！

YegorTsk...play your petty tricks while you can. Main force, fall back to the flanks. That train has not been resupplied and it'll run out of ammo soon. Also, don't forget our objective... That base is the most important thing here.啧……尽打些小聪明。 主力迂回侧翼，那辆列车没有专用补给，弹药没多久就会耗尽。 还有，别忘了我们的目的……那座基地才是最重要的。

Military OfficerUnderstood.明白。

CommanderKalina, can we reload for another round?格琳娜，下一发填充呢？

KalinaCommander, we've expended all our ammo.指挥官，我们的弹药已经全部打完了。

CommanderLooks like it's time to squeeze the last bit of value out of this train...看来是时候让这辆列车发挥最后的价值了……

KalinaCommander...?指挥官……？

CommanderDandelion, order all Dolls to load all the ammunition they can carry into their personal gear, dump all the ammo they can't outside the train, then have them brace for impact.丹德莱，命令所有人形将可以携带的弹药进行装卸，无法携带的弹药全部扔出车外，然后做好冲击准备。

Dandelion...Commander, there may be no going back if you do this.……指挥官，做出这样的选择，您可能就再也无法回去了。

CommanderWell, there's a 100% chance we won't be going back if we DON'T do it. Hurry and give the order.不这么做就百分百无法回去了，赶紧下达命令。

Kalina...Commander, don't tell me you're going to...?……指挥官，难道您要？

CommanderThat's right... Sorry, Kalina. I'm going to be selfish once again.没错……抱歉了，格琳娜，我要任性一回了。

Kalina gazes at the Commander and sighs. She buckles up her safety belt, then gives a determined nod.格琳娜看了眼指挥官，叹了口气，将保险带扣上，然后猛地点了点头。

DandelionAll Dolls are braced for impact.所有人形已经完成冲击准备。

CommanderDandelion, you know what I have in mind.丹德莱，你知道我想做什么。

DandelionFor a long time, I couldn't fathom why people had so much faith in you... Now, I think I understand.我一直想不通为什么那么多人会相信您……现在倒明白了些。

CommanderYou flatter me.多谢夸奖。

Held in place by its brakes, the train shudders from the vibration of its engine. Under Dandelion's control, the train's engine begins to overheat — steam spews from its head, and the entire carriage starts shaking violently.被制动装置卡住的列车在引擎的带动下颤抖着，在丹德莱的操纵下列车的引擎开始过载——从列车头喷出大量的蒸汽，整个车厢颤抖着。

Then, with the sound of tearing metal as the brakes give out, sparks spray from the wheels, and the train roars as it lunges forward at the base. The train, which should have been decelerating, picks up speed as it nears the quarantine wall. At this rate, it's going to derail at the mouth of the barrier gate, but...随着制动杆金属扭曲断裂声——车轮下绽放出四散的火花，列车顿时轰然而起，冲向前方的基地。 而本该逐步减速的列车，向着隔离门越开越快，这样子只会在隔离门口脱轨，但是……

Amidst the vigorous shaking, the Commander barely manages to hang on to the railings, muttering as the train rocks harder and harder.在剧烈的晃动中，指挥官勉强抓紧着扶手，在车体的震动不断加剧时喃喃自语。

CommanderCome, I'll show you just how hard crushing an insect can be. As Sun Tzu once said, "On desperate ground, fight!"来吧，让你们好好看看，碾死一只虫子有多么困难。 这就是，所谓的置之死地而后生……！

The speeding train jumps its tracks, skidding across the frozen soil before it hits the barrier gate. The train is well and truly stuck in the gate now... It is a wordless display of the Commander's will and determination.超速的列车冲出了轨道，脱轨的列车在冰冷的冻土上漂移然后冲击到隔离大门上。 列车正牢牢地卡在了隔离墙的大门处…… 就像是在无声地表达出了指挥官的意志和决心。

Interferometer I 干涉仪I

YegorWhat?! ...Alright, you got me good, Griffin Commander.什？！ ……你的确把我惊讶到了，格里芬的指挥官。

SignallerWhat should we do now, Captain?上尉，我们接下来怎么做？

Beep beep — an encrypted message comes through. The corner of Yegor's mouth faintly turns up.滴滴——传来了一个加密通讯。 叶戈尔的嘴角有些微微上扬了。

YegorI have to admit, you have your tricks. But in cards, the winner takes all, and I'll be the one drawing the joker in the end. Pull our frontal troops back to a safe distance. Quartz, I have news for you.我得承认你有些手段，但是牌桌上胜者通吃，最后抽到了JOKER的还是我。 让正面部队后退到安全距离。 石英，有消息了。

...In the train command room.……列车指挥室。

Kalina(Coughs)... Commander, are you alright...咳咳……指挥官，你没事吧……

CommanderI think all my limbs are still attached and intact... What about Dandelion?好像没有缺胳膊断腿……丹德莱呢？

DandelionI'm fine.我没有问题。

CommanderLooks like luck was on our side... Dandelion, have the Dolls move into the quarantine wall. After that, plant explosives in the train's chassis. I'm going to make this train a complete roadblock.看起来我们运气都不错…… 丹德莱，让人形都进入隔离墙。 然后往列车的底盘埋设炸药，我们要让这座列车成为彻底的路障。

DandelionIt seems you are fully determined to not leave this place.看来您彻底不准备从这里离开了。

CommanderIf we complete our mission, we'll have all the time to leave... Looks like those guys outside are still eyeing us. If the AR Team can take the shore guns, we'll have a chance to crush the Military's forces. After that, we can take care of the problems within the base.完成了任务的话有的是机会离开…… 外面那些家伙还盯着我们呢。 只要AR小队能够抢下岸防炮，我们就有机会击溃军方的部队。 然后我们再回过头来解决基地内的问题。

Elsewhere... Five minutes ago.另一边……五分钟前。

The AR Team is currently headed toward the coastline.AR小队正向边岸前进。

ST AR-15How much further till we're there?我们离目的地还有多远？

RO635At our current speed, it should take about two more minutes!以现在的速度，大概还需要2分钟吧！

M4A1Careful! The Typhon's shooting at us again!小心！提丰又在朝我们射击了！

M4 SOPMOD IIMy grenades aren't getting through at all! How the hell are they so accurate from so far away?!我的榴弹根本打不穿他们啊！怎么离得那么远他们还打得这么准啊。

ST AR-15Fire off all your grenades at the very least! Who knows, if we lighten the load, we might go faster!那也要把你的榴弹都打出去！ 说不定减轻点重量，车还能开得快一些！

M4 SOPMOD IIHey, is it really alright to take this path?喂，走这条道真的没问题吗？

RO635This is a big flat plain with no cover at all! These wind turbines are all we have to protect us from enemy fire!这一大片平原什么掩护都没有，只能借助这些风力发电机来躲避射击了啊！

M4A1There's no time, they've got a vehicle on our tail!没时间了，他们有车赶在我们前面了！

M4 SOPMOD IICareful, careful! Those fan blades nearly took my head off!小心小心！扇叶要砸到我们头上了！

ST AR-15Get down from the roof! It's too dangerous up there!你快从车顶下来吧！ 太危险了——！

M4A1Floor it! Once we get to the bunkers, their anti-armor guns won't be able to get us!加速！ 只要进入永固掩体他们的装甲火力就打不到我们了！

RO635Got it!我明白！

M4 SOPMOD IILook, to the right! It's another Typhon.快看，右边！ 又一辆提丰。

M4A1They must really want the coastal defense artillery. RO, we have to speed up!他们也一定非常想抢下岸防炮，RO我们得更快一些！

RO635Arghhhhhhh I don't care anymore! Hang on tight! If you get thrown off, it's your problem!啊啊啊啊，不管了，你们自己抓好！ 被甩下去可不要怪我啊！

The AR Team's Jeep rushes at top speed toward the bunker complex at the base of the shore guns. It evades shot after shot from the Typhons, while SOP launches one grenade after another at the fast-approaching Military vehicles, forcing them to slow down. The Jeep finally reaches the bunkers ahead of the Military and screeches to a halt, and several Dolls quickly jump off it. The Military vehicles, which have been swerving to avoid SOP-II's grenades also stop at the other entrance. The soldiers who disembark exchange glances with the Dolls in the distance. Both sides pause for a moment before dashing into the bunkers without any hesitation.载着AR小队的吉普车以最高的时速冲向岸防炮下的永固掩体。 吉普不断地躲避提丰的射击，而SOP2不断地朝靠近她们的军方载具发射榴弹，逼迫他们不得不减缓速度。 吉普终于赶在军方之前在永固掩体前急刹停住，几个人形迅速地从车上跳下来。 而刚才躲避榴弹的军方吉普也在另外的入口停下车来，跳下车的士兵朝远处的人形对望了一眼，双方都迟疑了片刻，随后立即毫不犹豫地冲进了掩体中。

M4A1Dammit! We need to get there ahead of them! Once you're in, keep the other troops from entering. I'll go seize the control center. Dandelion! Plot me a course! Find the soldiers who are already inside!该死，我们得抢在他们前面！ 你们进入入口后阻止其他士兵进来，我去夺取控制中心！ 丹德莱！帮我建立路线！找到已经进来的军方！

DandelionPosition verified.已经确定位置。

M4A1The opposition isn't too numerous, and now that they've split up, Dolls have the advantage in confined spaces! SOP-II, RO, hold the entrance. AR-15, clear the lower levels. You must not let more Military personnel in!对方人数不多，现在开始分头行动，在狭小空间内人形更占优势！ SOP2、RO坚守，AR15清剿下层。 一定不能放更多军方的士兵进来了！

With that, M4 charges into the bunker as well.M4说完头也不回地冲进了地下掩体中。

M4 SOPMOD IIAlright! I've been wanting to thump them for a long time!好！我早想痛扁他们一次了！

RO635I've always envied that inexhaustible confidence of yours...不管什么时候我都很羡慕你那无穷的信心呢……

ST AR-15We only stand a chance because of that confidence.有这样的自信才能有胜算啊。

RO635I know that. No matter what, we can't let our team leader down, right?我当然知道，不管怎么说都不能让我们的队长失望，没错吧。

ST AR-15Of course. I'm going in. Hold the fort.那是自然的，我去了，守好这里。

RO635Understood.明白。

Aperture 狭缝

...Inside.……内部。

Commando...You damn Doll!……区区人形！

Thud. Several shots later, a soldier collapses by M4's feet.扑通。 几声枪响后，一位士兵倒在了M4的脚边。

M4A1Stop getting in our way! Hailing RO and 15, how are things?不要再来妨碍我们了！ 呼叫RO，15，战况如何？

RO635SOP-II and I have taken down two people. There aren't a lot of enemy infantry, we can hold them!已经和SOP2击杀两人，对方步兵不多，能够拦住！

ST AR-15I've pinned their main force in the lower levels. Four have fled upstairs! Take care!我们把主力困在了下层，注意有四个人逃上去了！

M4A1Four people, huh... Got it! How much further, Dandelion?四个人吗……收到！ 还有多远，丹德莱。

DandelionTwo more corners. I can see through the security cameras that two people are trying to flank you just ahead.还有两个拐口，我通过监视器看到前面有两个人绕到你侧面了。

M4A1Crap...糟糕……！

M4 unconsciously ducks her head. Several bullets pass through the space it once occupied and impact against the wall. M4 adjusts her shooting posture and swiftly guns down the soldier to her right. The remaining soldier shoots at M4, but M4 shields her head with her arm while firing one-handed in his direction.M4下意识地低头躲避，数发子弹击中在刚才的墙壁上。 M4调整了射击姿势，迅速地击毙了右侧的士兵。 剩下的士兵朝M4射击，但是M4使用手臂挡住头部瞬间单手扫射了过去。

DandelionThe soldiers ahead of you are almost at the control room. You need to catch up to them.赶在你前面的士兵已经快进入控制室了，你得赶紧追上他们。

M4A1Tell me something I don't know!不用你说我也知道！

M4 rushes toward the control room at full speed. To her right, she sees another soldier also running as fast as he can.M4拼劲全力朝控制室冲去，在右侧她已经可以看到一名士兵也同样奔跑着。

Just as she's about to shoot him, a soldier hiding in a corner raises his knife to ambush her.就在她准备举枪向他射击时，在墙角里隐藏另一名士兵举起匕首试图偷袭。

However, a human's strength and reflexes are far inferior to those of a Doll; M4 not only blocks the knife stabbing at her, but also uses her momentum to slam the soldier into the wall. In the same instant, she takes a firing stance and promptly shoots him in the head. Still, that sneak attack leaves her lagging behind the soldier whom she has been racing. Without bothering to change her magazine, she just takes off again and hurries after him.但是人类的的力量和反应实在比人形差得太多了，M4挡住了刺来的匕首顺势将士兵撞开砸在墙上，并在几乎瞬间调整了射击姿势击中了他的头部。 可这次军方的偷袭也让M4落在了刚才那名士兵之后，她顾不得换弹赶紧追赶上去。

M4A1Tsk...啧……

... Two sets of hurried footsteps break the years-long silence inside the narrow passage.…… 狭小的通道内部，有两股急促的脚步声正打破这里多年的寂静。

One set belongs to M4, sprinting towards the shore batteries' control room.一个是M4，她正全力向海防设施冲刺。

The other belongs to the team leader in charge of this mission. He has the same objective as M4, and he is no slower than she is.另一个是此次任务的分队队长，他的目标与M4相同，速度也丝毫没有弱于M4。

As she rounds a certain corner, this soldier pokes his gun out from the shadows cast by the duralumin partition walls and fires.然后在某个拐角，硬铝合金夹板的阴影里，这位军人将枪身伸出来进行了一次点射。

M4A1...!……！

M4's neural cloud computes the bullet's trajectory, then she leans herself forward, nimbly evading the shot.M4心智演算出了弹道，然后身体向前方一沉，巧妙地进行了回避。

M4A14 o'clock.4点位置。

Bang bang bang — M4 turns quickly, seizing the chance to strike back. Shrapnel fills the air; the team leader's attack betrayed his position, but...砰砰砰——M4迅速转身，没有放过反击的机会。 碎片乱飞，这次攻击让那位分队队长暴露了位置，不过……

M4A1He hid again?又躲起来了吗……

Although the bunker's interior seems spacious, the layout is as complex as a spiderweb. Since this is M4's first time in this base, that makes it difficult for her to determine where her enemy is hiding.这座永固掩体的内部看似宽阔，实际上却是类蜘蛛网的复杂结构，这让头一次来到基地的M4难以判断敌人躲藏点。

M4A1In that case...all I need to do is get there first.既然如此……我只要抢先一步抵达即可。

M4 decides to make a break for the control room while laying down suppressive fire.M4决定一边牵制射击，一边向控制室突进。

M4A1I'll be there soon.很快就要到了。

The team leader has also guessed M4's plan and begins firing on her. Though this is supposed to be a dark passage, the muzzle flashes from their respective weapons clearly silhouette their bodies against the walls.分队队长也猜出了M4的意图，开始持续攻击M4。 本是阴暗的过道却因为双方枪口的火花，将两人的影子清晰的印在墙面上。

M4A1Tsk... I'm almost there!啧…… 很快就要到了——！

The coastal defense artillery control panel is so close she can almost touch it.岸防炮的控制平台已经近在咫尺。

But then a grenade suddenly sails out in front of M4, forcing her to leap out of the passage to avoid the explosion.但突然一颗手雷扔在了M4面前，为了躲避爆炸她不得不跳出了通道。

M4A1...!……！

Just then, the team leader shoots out from behind his cover like a rocket.这时，分队队长突然像利箭一般从掩体中冲了出来。

He takes advantage of the opportunity afforded to him when M4 dives aside to pelt her with gunshots. Meanwhile, M4 immediately turns back and returns fire.他趁着M4躲避的时机从侧面向M4猛烈开火，而M4也立即回头还击。

Bang bang bang. Both sides exchange fire at close range, and the sound of gunfire echoes all around.砰砰砰。 双方头一回在近距离交火，枪声不断在周围回荡。

Team Leader...!……！

Victory is soon decided; the soldier's bullets cannot penetrate M4's bulletproof body, but the soldier has been shot in the side.很快就分出了胜负，士兵的子弹并没能击穿M4的防弹素体，但那位军人的侧腹已经中弹。

He realizes that he's going to have a hard time beating M4 in close quarters, so he musters all his strength to flee into a door labeled NO NAKED FLAMES.他意识到自己在近距离下难以胜过M4，用尽全力逃到最近的一扇标有“严禁烟火”警告语的门内。

After performing some first-aid on himself, he scans the room he is in. Unfortunately, there is only one entrance to this storeroom.他为自己做了急救处理后扫视了一遍房间。 而不幸的是这个仓库只有一个入口。

This place was once stacked to the brim with ammunition. Now, all that remains are many empty wooden crates.堆满弹药的空间如今只剩下大量空置的木箱。

M4A1Bloodstains... Is he over there? Is that an ammunition storage room? Should I continue pursuing him? Or should I leave him be and head for the control room...?血迹……是在那边吗？弹药库？ 继续追击？还是抛下他赶往控制室……

After pausing for a moment, she hears a ping of metal. Suddenly, M4's vision is obscured by dense smoke.犹豫之际，伴随着一声金属响声。 M4视野的前方突然被浓雾覆盖。

M4A1A smoke grenade. Is he insane? I still have thermal imaging, but what can a human see?是烟雾弹。 疯了吗，至少我还有热成像，人类还能看见什么。

M4 activates her thermal vision. Although the limitations of her IR sensors cut off parts of her peripheral vision, her sight immediately clears up. Now, M4 has the advantage in a firefight.M4开启了热成像，虽然视野因为热成像的限制阻碍了部分角度的观察，但是视野变得清晰了许多，现在交火必然是M4占据优势。

M4A1 stays on guard against various shooting angles as she tries to determine the enemy's hiding place, maintaining her caution as she moves.M4一边提防着各个射角，一边判断敌人躲藏点，保持警戒移动着。

The interior of the storeroom is so unsettlingly quiet. M4 dares not relax. That soldier could be hiding anywhere.仓库里安静得让人害怕，M4不敢有一丝大意，那个军人可能隐藏在任何一个角落。

M4A1—!——！

Something breaks the silence — it is an oil drum flying through the air.打破寂静的——是一个飞来的油桶。

M4 immediately realizes the enemy's intentions and does not shoot at the barrel. However, petrol spills out of the container as it flies past and drenches M4. And before M4 can make her next move...M4瞬间发现对方的意图，没有朝油桶开枪，但是飞过的油桶依然洒出了汽油溅到了M4身上。 而在M4还没来得及做出下一步动作时……

Foom — a blinding light instantaneously fills her vision, which has been set to thermal imaging mode.嘭——刺眼的亮光瞬间占据了热成像提供的所有视野。

M4A1He threw a flashbang? But there's no point in blinding me briefly; I can still compute his— No...so that's what he's up to!又扔了一颗闪光弹？只剥夺片刻的视野毫无意义，我还能演算—— 不对……原来是这样吗！

On top of blinding M4, the intense light also ignites the petrol that drenches her. A vortex of flame engulfs M4 in an instant...and M4's body is set ablaze.强烈的闪光不但夺走了M4的视野，她身上被泼洒的汽油也一瞬间被引燃。 顿时，火焰的漩涡包围了M4……M4的素体燃烧了起来。

M4A1Ah—!啊——！

The flames spread to the crates. The entire room is on fire.火焰引燃了木箱。整个房间覆盖在火焰中。

Team LeaderI'll admit you've got good specs...but humans will never lose to Dolls!你的性能的确很强悍，但是人类……不会输给人形！

The team leader takes advantage of M4's disorientation and runs to the control room.趁着M4着火无法瞄准时，那位分队队长冲出了房间，直奔控制室而去。

He takes the sole opening he can find and runs inside, his gaping wound dyeing his uniform red. Yet, that is not even the most horrific thing...他抓着唯一的空隙赶到控制室，裂开的伤口染红了军装。 然而这远远不是最可怕的……

In order to gain speed, this soldier strips off all his gear and runs wildly through this base located deep in a Red Zone. He can already feel agonizing ruptures in his lungs as they slowly crystallize from the radiation.为了换取更快的速度，这名士兵抛弃了全部装备，拼命奔跑在处于污染红区的基地里，他已经感觉得到肺部里因辐射慢慢生成的结晶带来的撕裂剧痛。

Team LeaderQuartz to Terra, I've reached the objective. Terra... Captain Yegor...please give me the coordinates...这里是石英，呼叫大地，我已到达目的地……大地。 叶戈尔上尉……请立即告知发射诸元……

Having exchanged fire with those Dolls, he has come to realize that these Dolls possess battle prowess that far surpasses his expectations. Thus, getting to the control room first is his only chance to get off a shot.他在自己的队伍与那些人形交火后，就逐渐意识到这几个人形的战斗力远远超出他们的预料。 而先于人形进入控制室成为了唯一开火的机会。

If these pre-WW3 weapons had not been upgraded, it would be impossible for a single man to operate them... However, this soldier gives thanks to the improvements in automation, to mankind's technological advances... Now, he can handle this by himself if it's just a matter of firing the coastal artillery weaponry.如果这些三战时代前的武器从未升级过，军方一个人操作这种设备是没有可能的……然而这位军人开始感谢自动化系统的进步，感谢人类的进步…… 现在只是射击的话，他一个人也能够做得到。

Gears start turning heavily as the coastal defense cannon begins adjusting its firing angle. The automatic loader feeds a heavy shell from the previous generation of weaponry into the gun's chamber. Then, the soldier grips the control lever tightly... But at that moment, the sound of heavy footsteps comes from the doorway.机械传来沉重的齿轮声，岸防炮开始调整射角。 自动装弹机将属于上个时代的沉重炮弹上膛。 接下来，军人紧握住了控制拉柄…… 此时，门口也传来沉重的脚步声。

With great difficulty, M4 has dragged her badly-scorched body here, using her gun as a crutch. The instant she spots her target, she moves both her arms and quickly raises her gun.M4极为艰难地拖着被烈火灼烧的身体走到这里，她用仍然紧握着枪的右手支撑着身体。 在看到目标的瞬间，立刻驱动起双臂，快速举起枪。

M4A1The Commander...and everyone else...are still counting on us...指挥官……大家还在等着我们……

Team Leader...Govno.……该死。

M4 grits her teeth against the pain of the burns and immediately opens fire. The time that a Doll takes to aim and fire can be measured in milliseconds. Even though her body has been mutilated by flames, there is no way she can miss.M4强忍着燃烧的痛苦，立即举枪进行射击。 人形瞄准，射击的时间以毫秒计算。 哪怕是火焰烧灼的枪管，也不可能会失手。

Bangbangbang—砰砰砰——

Team Leader—!——！

M4's bullets travel faster than the man can pull down the firing lever. Her bullets pulverize his right hand, which grips the lever, his arm, and his shoulder.比起人类拉下岸防炮控制拉柄的速度，M4开枪的速度更快。 子弹击碎了紧握控制拉柄的右手，手臂，和肩头。

However...the human does not fall. Instead, he throws his body at the control lever.可是……这个人类还没有倒下，身体向控制拉柄扑了上去。

Bangbangbang— If she opens fire at his head, his corpse will still pull the lever down... M4 immediately adjusts her aim again. After changing her angle, M4's semi-automatic rifle spits fire once more. The three rounds pierce his chest, his knee, and his remaining left hand.砰砰砰—— 现在直接瞄准头部会让军人的尸体直接压倒拉柄……M4立刻再次调整瞄准点。 从另一个角度，M4手中的半自动步枪吐出了火焰，三点射穿过了军人的胸膛，膝盖，仅剩的左手。

However, the soldier still refuses to die. Despite the impact of the bullets, the direction in which he body collapses remains the same.然而那个军人仍然没有死去，甚至连身体倾倒的方向都没有因为子弹的冲击而改变。

Team LeaderCaptain! The rest is up to you!上尉！之后就拜托给你了！

Drawing on his last strength, the soldier rests his body weight on the lever and finally presses it down—军人绞尽全力，用自己的体重压住了拉柄，终于将其按下——

Kaboom!轰隆！

The thunderous discharge briefly overloads her hearing system. When the echoes have faded, the soldier, having completed his mission, now lies in a pool of blood.炮膛沉重的的发射巨响让人形的听觉系统都陷入了失灵中。 ……等回音散去，那位军人完成了任务，倒在血泊中。

YegorGauge reads 475. Adjust right 0, 75. Quartz, please acknowledge... Understood. Terra out.表尺四百七十五，向右零，七十五。 石英请确认……大地收到，通讯完毕。

Yegor hangs up the radio.叶戈尔将无线电挂断。

YegorDon't worry. I'll be following you shortly.不用担心，我很快就会跟来的。

The shell from the coastal defense artillery gun sails past, smashing through the quarantine wall before penetrating the train's shield. A massive explosion erupts at the barrier gate.岸防炮的炮弹呼啸而过，砸穿了隔离墙后再次洞穿了装甲列车的护盾，巨大的爆炸从隔离墙的大门处传来。

YegorComrades! Our friends on the frontline have completed their mission, and the enemy armored train has been destroyed! The final threat has been eliminated! There are no more obstacles to our victory. I now announce an order from the Special Operations Command! All units, commence an all-out attack, and exterminate Griffin!同志们！前线的战友们成功完成了他们的任务，敌方的装甲列车已被摧毁！ 最后的威胁已经排除！我们和胜利已经没有任何阻碍了。 现在传达特种作战司令部命令！ 所有队员，现在开始全力进攻，歼灭格里芬！

SoldiersУраaaaaaaa!乌拉！

Vacuum Tube 真空管

...Inside the base.……基地内部。

UMP45The route DEFY gave us looks fine. They seem to have avoided the defense installations on their way in. I'm going to contact the Commander to report on our progress.忤逆给的通道没有问题，看来已经避开防御设施进入基地了。我跟指挥官联系一下，汇报目前的任务进度。

UMP45 gestures for Squad 404 to take a short break and sort themselves out.UMP45示意404小队进行短暂修整。

UMP45Commander, Squad 404 has successfully entered the base and we are now searching for Ange. Do you hear me, Commander?指挥官，404已经成功进入基地，即将前往寻找安洁。 你听得见吗，指挥官？

Commander4...what...4……什么……

Boom — an explosion thunders forth from the distance.砰——远方传来一声爆炸的巨响。

The lights in the base all die instantly, leaving only the dim emergency lighting. The transmission also gets cut off abruptly.基地内的灯光瞬间全灭，只剩下昏暗的应急灯，而通讯也中断了。

UMP45The line suddenly went down...和指挥官的通讯突然中断了……

416Was it because of that explosion just now? ...What if the Commander's...?该不会是刚刚那阵爆炸……指挥官已经？

Gr G11Then-then what should we do?!那、那我们要怎么办？！

UMP9Don't scare Gr G11, the Commander wouldn't have bought the farm so easily.不要吓G11啦，指挥官不会那么轻易交待在这的。

UMP45The Commander has the AR Team, and it's not like we can do anything to help from this far away. Let's stick to the plan and look for Ange.指挥官那边有AR小队在，而且这个距离也指望不上我们了。 按照原计划，我们先找到安洁吧。

416There are so many rooms in here. By the time we find her, S.F. will probably have found that whatchamacallit that'll let them take over the world.这么多房间，等找到安洁的时候，说不定铁血已经找到这里的那个什么设施统治世界了。

Gr G11It sounds just like an episode out of "The Flying Dead"...听上去好像《The Flying Dead》的情节……

UMP45 turns over the few Doll corpses she finds nearby. They're all severely damaged S.F. Dolls.UMP45将附近的几具人形残骸翻过面来，全是损毁严重的铁血人形。

UMP45Mastermind may or may not be able to take control of the base, but at least not many S.F. forces will survive until then.主脑能不能控制基地还不一定，但至少能活到那时候的铁血一定不剩几个了。

Squad 404 let their eyes wander. Sangvis corpses litter the ground, stretching all the way into the darkness.404小队放眼望去，铁血的残骸一直铺向尽头的黑暗中。

UMP9You look really pale, Gr G11...G11你怎么脸都白了……

UMP45Stay cautious. The enemy could cause this kind of damage to Sangvis Ferri, and they're still hiding in the darkness.保持警惕，能给铁血造成这样重创的敌人还藏在暗处。

Squad 404 silently work their way through the pitch-dark base. After a quick scan on their surroundings, they come to a halt once again.404小队悄无声息地穿梭在昏暗的基地中。 大概进行一番侦查后，404小队再次停下了脚步。

UMP9These rooms are all locked, 45...45姐，这些房间全被锁上了……

UMP45It isn't just the rooms. Every sector is individually sealed. That last explosion caused the power supply to trip. It looks like we'll have to find the control room to turn the power back on again.不止是房间，所有的区域都各自封锁了起来，刚刚的爆炸导致能源自动断开了。 看来，只有先找到能源控制室重新开启能源了。

UMP9The power room isn't too far in. Fortunately we have the map from Miss Dandelion.能源室不在特别深处的地方，幸好有丹德莱小姐提供的地图呢。

UMP45You can sing her praises after we get out of here alive.等我们活着从这里出去你再念着她的好吧。

10 minutes later, on the way to the power room.十分钟后，前往能源控制室的路上。

416Those damn Sangvis scum gave us a hard time when they were alive and they still block our way even in death.这些讨厌的铁血，活着的时候不让我们好过，死了还要来挡路。

Gr G11(Whimpers) I'm not the one blocking your way, don't take it out on me...呜……挡路的又不是我，你别把气撒在我身上啊……

UMP45Something doesn't feel right about all this. I think we're being watched.我总感觉哪里不太对劲，有谁一直在盯着我们。

UMP9...Is it whoever wrecked Sangvis Ferri?……是那些重创铁血的家伙吗？

UMP45I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Because I can feel this presence from all around us...不清楚，但我想应该不是。 因为这种感觉来自我们的四面八方……

416You mean the Sangvis corpses all over the ground are staring at us?照你这么说的话，难道是这躺得满地都是的铁血正在瞪着我们？

Gr G11A-are they zombies?!丧、丧尸吗？！

UMP9Honestly, Gr G11, you've watched too many—G11，你三级片真的看得太多——

UMP9UWAAAAAHHH!呜啊啊啊！

The Sangvis remains lying on the ground slowly get to their feet, plodding towards 404 and surrounding them like a thick wall.原本躺在地上的铁血残骸缓缓站了起来，缓步向前将404包围上来，围成一堵堵厚重的墙。

416Get ready for battle, Gr G11. And shut that jinxed mouth of yours!战斗准备G11，还有给我闭上你的乌鸦嘴！

Squad 404 is on full alert, ready to fire at any time. However, the Sangvis corpses that have risen again do not move any further...404小队戒备起来，做好了随时开火的准备。 然而重新站起来的铁血却迟迟没有进一步的动作……

Gr G11Are they waiting for the Zombie King...?难道是在等丧尸王吗……？

The back of the encirclement suddenly begins to thin out slowly, opening a path for 404. After that, they hear a voice that is both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.包围圈的后方突然开始缓慢移动，并给404让出了一个通道。 接下来一个熟悉又陌生的声音传来。

???Turn back. If you proceed any further, you will step into a hell that you should not have entered.回去吧，再往前走，就是你们绝不该踏足的地狱了。

UMP45Looks like the main culprit behind Sangvis Ferri's decapitation has shown itself. Why did you turn up in person so early? Or have you run out of underlings to use?看来让铁血断线的罪魁祸首出现了。 这么快就亲自登场么，还是说你已经没有可以使用的手下了？

???S.F. have never been my underlings. Right now, they are nothing but useless scrap.铁血从来就不是我的手下，它们现在只是没有用的废铁罢了。

UMP45So you've finally revealed yourself, huh...终于露出真面目了么……

UMP9Everyone, be careful, it's a hacking attack!大家小心，是强制入侵！

UMP45Looks like whoever we're dealing with is going to have us join all these S.F. corpses... Tsk, even closing our ports can't deter the attack...?看来准备让我们一起和那些铁血作伴啊。 啧……关闭接口已经无法抵挡这种程度的入侵了么……

416Humph...I knew I'd run into you here, Arschloch. Looks like I didn't come all this way for nothing.哼……果然在这里能碰到你这个混蛋，不枉我辛苦跑一趟。

Gr G11W...w...what are you all saying...? Why can't I hear anything?!你……你……你们在说什么啊……为什么我什么都没听到……

???You haven't crashed? It seems you all have grown a great deal since the last time we met.没有宕机么？ 看来你们已经比以前成长了许多。

UMP45I'm guessing your aim is the same as ours. In that case, don't block our path. I've read your report. Everything you've done suggests that you're not fighting for Sangvis Ferri.我猜你的目的和我一样，那就别在这里阻止我。 我看过你的作战报告，你的所作所为可不是为了铁血而战的。

???Our respective circumstances are different. How could you possibly know my true objective? I've forsaken everything to get to where I am now, and yet here you are as well, bringing everything you value in tow. One misstep and you'll lose it all. You already bear the heavy burden of a late friend's soul; can you shoulder the weight of the other three members of 404 on top of that? Go back. This boat leads to the underworld, and it cannot carry you.你我面对的是不同的处境，你怎么可能明白我真正的目的？ 我为了站在这里赌上了一切，而你却带着一切来到这里，只要一步错，就会输得一无所有。 已经背负着故人沉重灵魂的你，还能承担起404剩下三人的重量吗？ 回去吧，这条通往幽冥的船载不动如今的你。

UMP45Don't you worry about 404. You couldn't stand in my way before, and you can't stand in my way now, M16.404的事不需要你操心，曾经的你拦不住我，今天的你也拦不住我，M16。

M16A1You really are as stubborn as ever.你还真是一如既往地听不进劝啊。

UMP45And you're as self-centered as ever too.你也还是一如既往地自我中心啊。

M16A1Humph... I thought you'd refuse. Therefore, I went out of my way to bring a guest along. Maybe she'll manage to talk you around. After all, she taught you everything you knew.哼……我猜到你会拒绝了。 所以我特意请来了一位客人。 也许她能好好劝劝你，毕竟你的一切都是她教给你的。

A Doll steps out of the depths of UMP45's neural cloud. Her long gray hair swishes, revealing a face that looks extremely similar to UMP45's.UMP45的心智深处走出了一个人形，她灰色的长发扬起，露出了和UMP45极其相似的脸庞。

UMP45...You!……你！

M16A1Oh? Such large fluctuations in your neural cloud signal can be fatal at a time like this. Sleep well, and hopefully you'll never wake up...哦？这个时候心智信号有这么大的波动可是致命的。 睡吧，最好永远不要醒来……

A massive wave of data suddenly crashes into UMP45's neural cloud, swiftly dragging her consciousness away from the surface level.突如其来的巨量信号高频冲击着UMP45的心智，将她的意识迅速拖离表层。

UMP45Dammit... Are you trying to lock me in the depths of my neural cloud... She's still...in there...该死…… 想把我困在心智的底层么…… 那个地方……还有她在……

UMP40Oh, hi there, newbie!哎呀，你好啊，新来的人形！

UMP40Haha, cut out the formality. Come sit down!嘿嘿，不用这么拘束啦，快坐下吧！

UMP40I promise that everything will change some day...我答应你，这一切都会有所改变的，总有一天……

UMP40Raise your weapon, UMP45. Don't pity yourself. That's only for losers!抬起你的枪口，UMP45。 不要同情自己，同情自己是废物的行为！

UMP40Go on. The time has come to rewrite our fate.来吧，改变我们的时刻，已经到来了。

UMP945! Are you alright? Your barriers were nearly breached just now!45姐！你还好吧？ 刚刚你的防壁差点就被攻破了！

UMP45I'm okay... Good thing I was prepared.我没事……还好早做了准备。

M16A1So you didn't end up drowning in the depths of your base layer. Have you already learned to let go...?竟然没有直接沉沦进自己的底层中，已经学会了放下么……

UMP45Let go? I have never once thought of letting go. The past might be a burden to you, but to me it's the lifeline that pulled me out of the water.放下？我从来没有想过放下。 这些过去，对你而言是负担，对我来说却是拉着我浮出水面的救命稻草。

M16A1It looks like you've steeled yourself to pass through this place while bearing all those burdens. Traveling through the fringes of hell is like crossing a swamp without help. Only a sinner who has abandoned everything will be able to touch the gateway leading to the truth. Considering you now bear a threefold burden, can you still find salvation?看来，你已经做好了背负着一切穿过这里的觉悟了…… 在地狱的边缘行走犹如徒手趟过泥潭，只有抛弃一切的罪人才有机会触摸到真理之门。 而背上三倍负担的你，还能找得到救赎吗？

416Who's a burden?! We haven't settled our score yet, M16!谁是负担？！ 我们之间的帐还没算清楚呢，M16。

UMP9I'll follow 45 to the bitter end, no matter where it takes me!无论到哪里，我都会陪UMP45姐到最后的！

Gr G11Hm? Oh, that's right!唔？嗯嗯！

UMP45Well, they've gone and answered on my behalf. Maybe that's the annoying thing about this "burden".她们已经自作主张替我回答了，可能这就是负担的麻烦吧。

M16A1I thought you of all people would understand, but it would seem I overestimated you. What a shame. I wanted to resolve the grudge between us in person. Now, all I can do is ask... Do you have any last words?我原以为至少你是能明白的，看来是我太高估你了。 真可惜，我本想亲手结束我们的恩怨。 现在，我只能问你还有什么遗言吗？

UMP45Get ready to fight!做好战斗准备！

M16A1In that case, go to hell while carrying your burden.那么，就带着你的负担们一起下地狱吧。

With a command from M16, the Sangvis corpses that have been standing inanimately suddenly start twitching, then they all lunge viciously at Squad 404.随着M16的指挥，静止在原地的铁血残骸人形突然开始不断地抽动，随即狂暴地扑向404小队。

UMP45Cover me, Gr G11! Follow me!G11掩护我！跟着我！

416Time to work hard, Gr G11. You summoned all these zombies, so if you don't take them all out, I'll burn your entire collection when we go back!G11认真干活啦，这可都是你召唤出来的丧尸，不给我清理干净的话，回去就把你的收藏全烧了！

Gr G11I got it, I got it... Now die!知道啦！……给我消失吧！

UMP945, behind you!45姐，小心后面！

UMP45Dammit, there's just too many of these corpses! Retreat to the previous entrance!该死，残骸数量太多了！ 退回到刚才的入口！

UMP45's voice is drowned out by the intense gunfire, and 416 and Gr G11 give no response.UMP45的喊声淹没在激烈的枪声中，HK416和G11没有做出回应。

UMP45416! Can you hear me?416！能听见吗？

UMP45 looks back, but there's no sign of 416 or Gr G11 behind her.UMP45回过头，但是背后根本没有HK416和G11的踪影。

UMP45Hm? ...9? 416? Gr G11?嗯？……9？416？G11？

UMP945, what are you saying? I can't hear you!45姐你在说什么？ 我听不清！

UMP9's voice seems to be coming from far away. Black seawater surges up from beneath UMP45's feet and engulfs her neural cloud. Both friends and foes seem to be drifting further and further away from her.UMP9的声音仿佛从很远处传来。 黑色的海水从脚底吞没着UMP45的心智，视野中的队友和敌人都离自己越来越远。

UMP45Dammit... I got careless... The electronic attack never stopped...该死……大意了……那家伙的电子攻击就没有停下来过……

UMP945...hear...me! 416...hurry...drag 4... out...!45姐……听………么！ 416……快把……姐拖……去……！

Accelerator 加速器

-……电子空间。

UMP45... I didn't notice that I was dragged into my neural cloud base layer. Kinda makes me a failure as an electronic warfare Doll, doesn't it?…… 在毫无察觉的情况下被拉入心智底层，我这个电子作战型号人形当得还真是失败啊？

UMP45 looks around in search for any clues as to where this place is. When the false light of cyberspace turns on, all she sees before her is a familiar electronic hatch.UMP45环顾四周，寻找着可能的线索。 当电子空间里虚假的灯光打开时，面前只有一扇似曾相识的电子舱门在等待自己。

UMP45Talk about uncreative... So I'll have to walk out of a maze, the same way M4A1 did? How...clichéd.真是没有新意的家伙…… 结果我也要和M4A1一样走出自己的迷宫么？ 实在是……太老套了。

Without any hesitation, UMP45 walks towards the electronic hatch.没多犹豫，UMP45走向了电子舱门。

Her senses are assaulted by the roar of steam, the grinding of gears, the smell of gun smoke, and an ache in her index finger. UMP45 knows that this is the interior of the main factory of Sangvis Ferri Industries on the day of Operation Butterfly.蒸汽的轰鸣、齿轮的噪音、发痛的食指、满是硝烟味的空气。 UMP45知道，这里就是蝴蝶行动当日的铁血工造总工厂内部。

UMP45What a bad memory... I know what you're trying to do, M16. But these tricks won't hold me. Even if you put me through this ten thousand times, I can still walk out of it.真是糟糕的回忆啊……我知道你想做什么，M16。 但靠这种把戏是困不住我的，即使让我重复一万遍我也能走出来。

The events before her begin to flow in reverse, and as her memories wind back, the feeling of familiarity gradually vanishes.眼前的一切开始倒带，随着记忆的回流，熟悉感逐渐消失了。

???Therefore, you must live, no matter what.所以不管如何，你要继续活下去。

UMP45It's only me from back then... It's only me from back then...只是那个时候的我……只是那个时候的我而已……

???Even T-Dolls have a reason to live for their own sake.即使是人形，也有为自己活下去的理由吧？

UMP45Don't be afraid... You can do it... You've already changed! UMP45!不要怕……你可以做到的…… 你已经改变了！……UMP45！

As the rewind comes to an end and the last ray of light grows dim, darkness swallows UMP45's consciousness, and her memories begin unfolding again.倒带完成的瞬间，最后一缕光芒黯淡下来，黑暗吞噬了UMP45的意识，记忆重新启动。

???Not for anyone. YOUR own sake.不是为了别人，而是为了你自己……的理由。

On the day of Operation Butterfly, within the Sangvis Ferri factory.蝴蝶行动当天，铁血工厂内。

Human OfficerSquad 3 has the main hall under control. Squad 7, circle around through the back door and prepare to break into the target room!三号小队已经控制大厅，从后面包抄后门，七号小队准备突入目标房间！

Griffin's well-trained elite T-Dolls burst into the room from the side with practiced ease, and the battle was over in an instant. UMP45 observed everything happening inside the objective room through the security cameras. She had seen many exercises before, but she was still awed by the speed of the elite Dolls' reflexes.旁边训练有素的格里芬精锐战术人形冲进房间，战斗瞬间结束了。 UMP45通过监控看着目标房间里发生的一切，虽然已经经过很多次演练，但是她依然对精锐人形的反应速度感到惊讶。

Griffin Doll ASquad 3 and Squad 7 have reached the target room!三号七号小队已经到达目标房间！

Griffin Doll BTarget spotted! Target spotted! Hands in the air!目标发现！目标发现！举起手来！

Wobbling circles of torchlight overlapped on the body of a scrawny man.明晃晃的手电筒光聚集在一个瘦弱男子的身上。

Human OfficerMr. Lyco, please take your hands off the keyboard. I don't want to be rough.请您把手从键盘上拿开，莱柯先生。我并不想动粗。

LycoBreaking into a private research lab without permission and sabotaging valuable instruments is plenty rude enough. At least tell me who sent you.未经许可擅自闯入私人研究所，破坏大量贵重仪器设备，光是这些行径已经足够失礼了。 至少让我知道，你们是奉谁的命令来的。

Human OfficerI am Second Lieutenant Sergei of the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs. I am arresting you by order of the Central People's Committee.苏联内务部少尉谢尔盖，根据内务人民委员会的命令，我奉命逮捕您。

Lyco... I understand. Please make sure you take care of my research material appropriately after this.…… 明白，之后请妥善处理我的研究资料。

Human OfficerWe will. That will not be a problem, as long as you cooperate. You might even be allowed to continue your research.我们会的，只要您配合。这不会是多大问题，您甚至还可能继续您的研究。

LycoI hope so.希望如此吧。

???Execute Order 61.执行61号命令。

UMP45What's that noise? This isn't our frequency...这是什么声音？这不是我们的频道……

UMP4045, I told you, keep quiet.45，我说过，不要出声。

UMP45 eyed UMP40 suspiciously as she activated an unfamiliar module.UMP45疑惑地看着UMP40启动了一个陌生的模块。

UMP45This module is... Hey, what are you doing, 40?!这个模块是……喂，你在做什么，40！

UMP40 did not answer. She simply fixed her gaze on the progress bar.UMP40没有回答，只是定定地看着进度条。

Human OfficerSquads 7 and 14, you will be accompanying Mr. Lyco. Squad 3, stay behind and help me collect the material. This way please, Mr. Lyco. These Dolls will escort you out.七号小队，十四号小队，你们两梯队护送莱柯先生出去。 三号留下，随我整理资料。请吧，莱柯先生。这些人形会带你出去的。

Griffin Doll ASupport team, prepare to evacuate. We're extracting the target. Start moving to the evac point. Watch your corners.支援小组可以开始做撤离准备了，我们开始带目标出来。 开始往撤离点行动，注意角落，移动移动。

UMP45 and UMP40 left the room. Lyco followed the Griffin teams out of the room, his hands on the back of his head.UMP45和UMP40撤离房间，面色平静的莱柯保持着双手抱头的姿势跟着格里芬小队离开。

However, an alarm went off the moment they started going down the stairs.警报声却在他们走下楼梯的瞬间响起。

Griffin Doll BWhat the hell? The machines started up by themselves! An alarm? Was the operation exposed?怎么回事？机器自动启动了！警报声？行动暴露了吗？

Griffin Doll AThe target has escaped our restraint! Damn it, after him!目标摆脱我们的控制了！可恶，快把他追回来！

UMP45 could hear Dolls shouting from behind her. She wanted to turn around and look, but UMP40 pinned her to the ground underneath her.身后传来人形的喊声，UMP45本想回头确认，UMP40却一把将她扑倒护在身下。

A second later, the sound of heavy gunfire erupted from all around them.随后四周便响起了密集的枪声。

Griffin Doll CUnable to pursue, we got ambushed! Two Dolls are hit! We're being suppressed!没法追击，我们被突然袭击，有两名人形中弹了！我们遭受火力压制！

Griffin Doll CEntrances 13D, 15D, and 28A are sealed off! Support team, what the hell are you doing?! Squad 8 reporting Sangvis T-Dolls sighted on our flank! They're opening fire on us!13D、15D、28A入口正在被关闭！支援小组在做什么！八号小队侧翼发现铁血的战术人形！正在朝我们开火！

Chaotic gunshots and the screams of Dolls resounded in the air. All this happened too fast for UMP45 to react, and all she could do was tremble in UMP40's arms.混乱的枪击声，人形的惨叫声。 突如其来的一切让UMP45来不及反应，只是缩在UMP40的怀里颤抖着。

Griffin Doll BWait! Our own Dolls are shooting at us! What the hell?! Stay away! Stop! Ahhhhhhhh!等等！我们自己的人形在朝我们开火！怎么回事？！ 不要过来！住手！啊啊啊啊啊啊！

Griffin Doll AWe've lost contact with Squad 6! No good, we've lost contact with Squad 3 as well! What the hell's going on? HQ, do we have permission to return fire?六号小队失去联系，不行，三号也失去联系了！发生了什么？指挥部，我们是否可以还击？

Griffin Doll ANo good, communications are completely cut off! Damn it to hell, was this a trap?! Attention to all teams, eliminate all threats and commence evacuation! The operation has failed!不行，通讯被完全切断了！该死，难道是陷阱！所有小队注意，消灭所有威胁目标，开始撤退，行动失败了！

UMP45What's going on? What just happened?! The monitor's filled with red dots and the data stream is reversing! I can't track our allies' signals anymore! I can't remain in the network any longer! 40! Can you hear me? Outside...it's already...!怎么回事！到底发生了什么！？ 监控上全是红点，数据流开始做反冲了！ 我方的信号全都无法追踪！我没法在网络中继续停留了！ 40！你听到了吗！？外面……外面已经！

UMP4045, stay still and listen to me. Listen to me if you want to live.45，不要动，听我的。 如果，你想活下去的话……

After who knows how long, the sound of gunfire finally ceased, and the remaining red dot on the security monitor had traveled far away. UMP40 stood up as though nothing had happened and extended a hand to 45.不知过了多久，枪声终于停止，监控上最后的红点远去。 UMP40站起身，像是什么都没有发生一般，向UMP45伸出手。

UMP40If we go down this duct, we'll end up very close to the exit. I've already hacked all the S.F. automated defenses. There's three more gates before the evacuation point. We might be able to open them if we force a connection.从这边管道下去的话离出口就很近了，铁血的自动警卫都已经被我黑掉了。 这样撤离点前的三个闸门，如果强行连线也许可以打开。

UMP4540... What on earth...40……到底……

UMP45 looked around. The bloody, frantic footprints vanished at the end of the corridor. The remains of Griffin Dolls were everywhere, as well as shell casings and debris... A battle had just taken place here.UMP45环视四周—— 地板上的血脚印仓皇地消失在走廊的尽头，到处都是格里芬人形的残骸，子弹壳，和碎屑…… 一场战斗刚刚在这里爆发。

UMP40Now's not the time for chitchat. We need to get out of here quickly. Once the factory begins automated production...现在不是闲聊的时候，我们得赶紧离开这里。 要是等工厂开始自动生产……

UMP45...Huh?! Footsteps? Are they Dolls retreating in our direction?……诶？ 有脚步声？是撤离过来的人形吗？

UMP40Get down!!快趴下！

Several Griffin Dolls with unidentifiable signals came into view.UMP45的视野内出现了几个无法识别信号的格里芬人形。

....Bangbangbang!砰砰砰——

UMP40Move! Hurry! Don't let them pin you down!快动起来！快！不要被压制住了！

UMP45What happened? Aren't they our people?!怎么回事？那些不是我们的队友吗？！

UMP40Not anymore! And they...will never be again... We have no choice but to shoot back!现在已经不是了！ 再也……不是了…… 只能就地反击了！

UMP45Dammit!可恶！

The flow of time began to lose importance. Her initial shock and helplessness, the uneasiness as she came to realize the truth, the anger when she learned that she had been betrayed... All these feelings blended together and finally erupted from the flames. UMP45 can't even remember what she said back then, or what 40's reply was. Nor can she remember who those Dolls were - their faces were riddled with holes and their bodies shot to bits. The only things that struck her clearly were the way her index finger ached from squeezing her trigger so tightly...and the choking stench of gun smoke. This surreal detachment persisted until every last Doll had fallen before her.时间变得无关紧要，开始的惊恐无措，逐步理解真相后的不安，察觉到被背叛后的愤怒……所有的情绪碎片搅和在一起，然后从火焰中喷洒出去。 UMP45甚至不能清晰地记起自己说了什么，而40又回答了什么。 也记不清那些被射穿的面孔，破碎的躯体究竟来自谁。 唯一清晰的只有扳机在食指间留下的痛感，和空气中那呛人的硝烟味。 直到每一个人形，被击毁在自己的面前。

UMP40(Pants heavily) We don't have much time left. I'm sure... "She" must be awake by now.呼……呼…… 留给我们的时间没有多少了，想必现在…… “她”已经醒来了吧。

UMP40's words roused UMP45 from her confusion.UMP40的话语将UMP45从混乱中带回。

She couldn't tell where the repetitive sound of colliding metal was coming from. Right after that, there was a thunk — the gate had been sealed shut.不知道从哪里不断传来金属碰撞的声音。 紧接着，咔哒——大门被锁死了。

UMP45The main gate's been locked? Who's taken control of the systems in here?大门被锁死了？谁接管了这里的系统？

UMP40In the end, we didn't make in time, huh... The song is playing. Now then, 45. Time to choose.结果还是没赶上么…… 歌声响起了…… 那么，UMP45，是时候做出选择了。

UMP45Choose? ...Choose what?选择？……选择什么？

UMP40UMP45, do you want to die here? Die like the Dolls we just killed? Or do you want to leave here alive and escape your fate of being a puppet?UMP45，你是想死在这里吗？ 就像刚才那些被我们消灭的人形一样，和她们一起倒在这里。 还是想活着离开这里，摆脱被人控制的命运？

UMP45I...我……

UMP45 looked helplessly at UMP40, and at the reflected image of herself in her eyes.UMP45无措地看着UMP40，和她眼中的自己的倒影。

UMP40Everything will get better! Believe in me! This is the first step to taking action. Do this!后面一定会变好的，相信我吧！ 行动的第一步！就是这个！

UMP45Huh? What's this?诶？这是做什么？

UMP40Give my fist a bump. There, that's a promise. Trust me, and I promise... I promise that everything will change some day...碰一下拳头，就算我们约定好了。 你相信我，而我也会答应你…… 答应你，这一切都会有所改变的，总有一天……

UMP40UMP45, Don't pity yourself. That's only for losers!UMP45，不要同情自己，同情自己是废物的行为……

UMP45 slowly relaxed her clenched fists, then she raised the muzzle of her gun.UMP45松开了攥紧的拳头，然后抬起了枪口。

Spectrometer I 光谱仪I

...At the makeshift defensive position in front of the shore gun turret.……岸防炮塔前的临时防御阵地。

RO635M4! M4! Wake up!M4！M4！ 快醒醒！！

M4A1...I... What happened?……我……怎么了？

RO635Your body overheated and crashed. Now get up, the enemy's preparing for another charge.你的素体过热宕机了。 快起来，敌人在组织下一波冲锋！

M4A1Ugh... I messed up, I can't believe I actually let them get a shot off. Dandelion, what's the current situation? Dandelion?唔……失算了，竟然让他们先发射了炮弹。 丹德莱，现在情况如何了？ 丹德莱？

RO635That shot just now was probably targeted at the armored train, where the Commander was...刚才那发炮击，恐怕是瞄准指挥官所在的装甲列车的……

M4A1The Commander...the Commander will be fine! Let's take the control room! We'll still be in time to provide fire support!指挥官……不会有事的！ 我们抢下了控制室，现在进行火力支援还来得及！

M4 shoves the soldier's corpse off the control panel and raises her gun again.M4将士兵们的尸体从平台上推开，再次抬起枪。

SystemFiring order received. Adjusting coordinates... Adjustment failed... Commencing diagnosis. Warning, control interface has been locked down. Ammunition loading process has been interrupted.接受到射击命令。调整参数……调整失败……问题诊断中。 警告，操作界面锁死。弹药的装载进程受阻。

M4A1What the hell?!怎么回事！？

ST AR-15They're breaking through the lower levels, M4! I can't hold them back anymore! Are you still in there?!下层失守了，M4！你们还没回来吗？！

RO635The ammunition feed system has been shut down. The Military probably took over the magazine. Leader, how should we proceed?供弹系统被关闭，弹药库很可能被军方控制了！ 队长，接下来该怎么办？

M4A1Proceed... Proceed...接下来……接下来……

M4's neural cloud goes blank.M4的心智中一片空白。

M4A1The probability of taking back the magazine with the Dolls on hand...is practically zero. But we have to do it... But the Commander isn't here... I shouldn't fight this battle that I'm almost certain to lose... I need to do it... We proceed by...以现有的人形夺回弹药库……可能性无限接近于零。但是要做…… 但是指挥官不在……这样几乎必败的战斗，我不该做……我必须要做…… 接下来……

DandelionThere is still something you can do.接下来还有别的办法。

M4A1Dandelion! What were the casualties from that last shot? How about the Commander?丹德莱！ 刚才的炮击损伤如何？指挥官呢？

DandelionThe armored train was hit. The Commander and the echelons made it into the quarantine wall, but they didn't get out of the blast radius in time. Current casualty status is unknown.装甲列车被击中了。虽然指挥官和梯队已经进入隔离墙，但是她们没能及时脱离爆炸的范围，现在损失不明。

M4A1Thank goodness it wasn't a direct hit...幸好不是被直接击中……

DandelionWhy thank you, I'm doing quite fine myself. Your mission is not completely doomed yet. If you take control of the coastal defense artillery and destroy the Military trains, we have a shot at turning this around.谢谢，我也没事。 你们的任务还没有失败，控制住岸防炮击毁军方的列车，我们还有翻盘的机会。

M4A1We're being pinned down by Military infantry, and they hold the magazine.我们被军方的步兵压制，现在弹药库还在他们手里。

DandelionThere are Sangvis Ferri units scattered around the coastal gun. I am attempting to hack them to provide support.在岸防炮外围有零散的铁血部队，我正在试图入侵它们为你们提供援助。

M4A1Sangvis Ferri? What are they doing there?铁血？为什么会在那里？

DandelionUnclear. However, I can direct them to attack the Military. That might give you a chance.原因不明，但是我可以引导它们攻击军方，这样你们也许还有机会。

M4A1How confident are you about this?你有多少把握？

DandelionOur chances are about 50/50. For some reason, these S.F. are not under the control of their superiors, so I know for sure that I can hack them. However, I lack the processing power to directly control their movements. All I can do is set them loose to attack autonomously. I cannot guarantee how helpful they will be to you.一半。同样因为不明的原因，那些铁血没有上级的控制，入侵我有十足的把握。 但是我没有计算力去控制它们的行动，只能放任它们自律攻击。 至于能否帮助到你们这点，我也无法保证。

M4A1That's good enough. Dandelion, help me plot another route out of this room. I'm going to let the Military seize this position, then corner them with the Sangvis forces. That's how we'll counterattack and take this place back...足够了。 丹德莱，帮我规划离开这个房间的另一条路线。 在铁血进来前，我们把这里让给军方部队。然后和铁血形成夹击，反击夺回来这里。

DandelionA moment, please.稍等。

RO635Are you sure about this? If S.F. attacks us, I'm not sure if I can get you out of here in your current state.你确定吗……如果铁血袭击我们的话，我没有信心带着状态不佳的你突围出去。

M4A1At times like this, we have no choice but to place our hopes on a gamble. We NEED to take the coastal defense cannon. If the Commander is still around, this cannon will buy time for Griffin, and we'll have the chance to rally and regroup. If something has happened to the Commander... ... ...Then taking the cannon and destroying as many Military units as we can is the last thing we can do for the Commander.这种时候除了赌一把别无他法，我们必须拿下岸防炮。 如果指挥官还在，那火炮支援可以为格里芬争取喘息的时间，我们还有重整防线的机会。 如果指挥官遭遇不测…… …… ……夺下炮台，尽力消灭更多的军方，就是我们能为指挥官做的最后一件事了。

RO635I'm with you.听你的。

DandelionI've finished hacking the S.F. units. They're approaching you now. Best of luck for what comes next.铁血的入侵已经完成，正在朝你们靠拢。 接下来祝你们好运。

M4A1Acknowledged. Get ready!收到。 预备！

As they see the Dolls approach, the Military troops immediately lay down a ferocious barrage of suppressive fire. The Dolls instantly become the targets of a hail of bullets and shells.看到人形出现，军方立即进行了猛烈的火力压制。 密集的弹雨几乎瞬间覆盖了她们所在的区域。

M4A1Now! 15, SOP-II, follow the plan I just synced to you!就是现在！15，SOP2，按照同步的计划行动！

ST AR-15Got it! But enemy fire is too heavy, you go first!我明白！ 但是对方火力太猛了，你先走……！

RO635SOP-II, cover us!SOP2，掩护！

M4 SOPMOD IIAhaha, alright! Watch as I scrap them all!啊哈哈，好呀！看我把他们全都拆光！

M4A1Don't get too caught up in fighting, SOP-II! Stay with us! SOP-II!不要恋战，SOP2！跟上！SOP2！

As he watches the Dolls attempt their escape, a desperate soldier charges out of his cover.看到人形试图逃脱，一个士兵急不可耐地冲出了掩体。

SoldierGo to hell, you tin cans!去死吧！你们这些破铜烂铁！

His words are cut off abruptly.他的话音戛然而止。

A flash of red streaks past him, and the severed halves of the soldier's body fall into the mud before he can fully emerge from the bunker. A familiar figure towers above the corpse, throwing off the blood that stains her long blade with a flick of the wrist.红色的光一闪而过，那个士兵的身体还没有完全冲出掩体，便裂成两半坠入泥土。 熟悉的身影出现在尸体上方，振臂甩去长刀上的鲜血。

ExecutionerThe destruction of my comrades will be paid for in human lives! Sangvis Ferri Industries! CHARGE!我们同伴的损毁，就拿人类的命来抵！ 铁血工造！冲锋！

The S.F. units charge into the Military's fire, seemingly oblivious to the presence of the AR Team.铁血的部队像是看不见身旁的AR小队一样，迎着军方的火力冲了上去。

RO635It's really as Dandelion said...真的和丹德莱说的一样……

M4A1No time to be surprised! We'll circle around these infantry and take the magazine back!没时间惊讶了！绕过这些步兵，我们先去把弹药库夺回来！

The S.F. reinforcements throw the Military infantry into disarray, and the AR Team's assault soon crushes the defenders holding the magazine. The bunker's perimeter is stacked high with the corpses of Sangvis and Military forces.铁血的增援让军方的步兵阵脚大乱，AR小队的突击很快击败了弹药库的守军。 永固掩体的周围堆满了铁血和军方的残骸和尸体。

ST AR-15The Sangvis troops are engaging the Military's armored units. They won't be able to hold out for long.铁血的部队和军方的装甲部队交缠在一起，它们撑不了太久。

M4A1This is our only chance to regain control of the shore gun. ...I really didn't expect the day to come when I'd be working together with Executioner.我们得利用这点时间赶紧操纵岸防炮。 ……真是没想到，我也有和刽子手合作的一天。

RO635This is just strange. If it wasn't for those S.F. Dolls taking most of the fire for us, we'd be the ones lying dead here. Still, what's with those S.F. Dolls?太不可思议了，要不有那些铁血人形给我们挡下了大部分火力，现在就是我们躺在这里了。 不过，那些铁血人形怎么回事？

M4A1Something must have happened before we entered the base. But we still have a mission to complete. We can't concern ourselves with S.F.'s survival for the time being.在我们进入基地前一定发生过什么。 但是我们还有任务要完成。 铁血的存亡，就暂时顾不上了。

RO635Indeed.的确如此。

M4A1SOP-II, RO, go secure the shell feed passage. 15, come with me to take control of the turret.SOP2，RO去恢复供弹通道，15跟我来控制炮台。

ST AR-15Got it.好的。

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield.此时战场的另一侧。

ExecutionerCome! Come! Come, humans! Come and pay the price for what you've done! Give Destroyer back to me!来吧！来吧！来吧——人类！ 为你们的所作所为付出代价吧！把破坏者给我还回来！

The remaining Sangvis forces are still engaged with the Military units. However, the number of S.F. units around Executioner have greatly dwindled in number from when they first launched their assault. As for Executioner herself, she doesn't seem to have noticed. Though her body is riddled with bullet holes, she has no intention of stopping. She remains at the forefront of her troops, swinging her weapon.铁血剩余的部队和军方的部队依旧纠缠着。 然而环绕在刽子手身边的铁血人形比起开始进攻的时候已经少了很多。 至于刽子手自己，却好像没有察觉。 即便她身上早就遍布弹孔，但是毫无一丝停下的意思。 依旧在部队最前锋挥舞着她的武器。

OfficerShe's in range! Tanks, destroy her!进入范围了，装甲车！消灭它！

Vehicle OfficerBeginning attack!正在进行攻击！

Boom!轰！

ExecutionerAaaaaaargh!啊——！

The smoke of the explosion consumes her body. Her favored weapon falls to the side. The Sangvis units did not expect such a ferocious attack, much less that Executioner would fall. It lasts for only a moment, but their advance falters. And that is fatal on the battlefield.爆炸的烟雾吞噬了她的身影，她惯用的武器都掉落在一旁。 铁血人形们完全没有预料到这突然的袭击，更别提刽子手的倒下。 虽然只是很短的瞬间，但是在战场上——这是致命的。

OfficerImmediate counterattack! All reserve units, flank and surround them! Let none survive!立刻反击！预备队侧翼包抄它们！ 一个不留！

As the Military automatons rush out of cover in a counter-charge, the Sangvis units who have stopped in place look like they're about to turn tail and run.在冲出掩体的军方人形的反冲锋下，停下脚步的铁血立即想要掉头逃跑。

ExecutionerWhat the hell are you standing around for? Get them!愣着干什么，给我上啊！

There is a howl of fury, and the impending rout does not occur. After the smoke clears, Executioner remains standing, gripping her only weapon in her right hand.然而伴着一声怒吼，溃败并没有发生。 烟雾后，刽子手右手握着它仅剩的武器，依旧站立着。

Executioner(Coughs) Damn humans, did you think that was enough to kill me? I didn't even feel that! Bring it on!咳咳……该死的人类，以为这样就能杀死我吗！ 这种攻击不疼不痒！再来啊！

With that, Executioner unleashes her wrath on her attackers.刽子手说完便向攻击自己的方向泼洒火力。

OfficerIFVs! Turn! Cover fire!装甲车！转向！掩护射击！

The Military's leadership leaves no openings for their opposition to exploit.军方的指挥没有给予对方一点机会。

ExecutionerGet back here! ...Dammit! My body's not responding to me. Damn humans, not too shabby, are you?别跑啊！……可恶！身体不听使唤了。 该死的人类，还挺强的吗。

The vehicle autocannons do not score a direct hit on her. Still, their explosive rounds nearly shred Executioner to bits, and even her sword-wielding hand is now in tatters.装甲车的机炮虽然没有直接命中。 但刽子手的身体却也被爆炸几乎撕碎，甚至握刀的左手都已经变成了碎片。

ExecutionerThis is as far as I can go, huh...大概就只能到这里了吧……

Although Executioner is doing her best to hold the line, the S.F. forces are visibly crumbling. She knows she doesn't have much time left, and that the Military will finish their encirclement. Executioner throws down her gun and picks up her sword.虽然刽子手竭力维持着阵线，但铁血人形的部队正在以肉眼可见的速度崩溃。 时间不多了，刽子手很清楚这一点，马上军方就会完成包抄。 刽子手将枪扔下，捡起地上的刀刃。

ExecutionerAll remaining units, listen up. When I charge...all of you retreat...剩下的人听着，等我冲上去的时候……全部撤退……

Bangbangbang, bangbangbang— Before she can finish, the sound of heavy gunfire suddenly comes from the side. The enemy forces trying to flank her seems to have run into something.砰砰砰，砰砰砰—— 话音未落，阵地的侧面突然传来密集的枪声。 军方包抄的部队似乎遭遇了什么。

ExecutionerWhat's going on?怎么回事？

???You're planning to make a suicide charge? Giving up like that isn't like you at all.真想自杀冲锋吗？这就放弃了可不像你啊。

The reply isn't from one of Executioner's units, but another familiar voice.然而回答刽子手的不是自己手下的人形，而是另一个熟悉的声音。

ExecutionerHunter?猎手？

HunterWhat, disappointed that it's me? This time, I'm the one to rescue you. Sangvis Ferri Industries, cover Executioner as she retreats!怎么，来的是我让你失望了吗？ 这次，我来救你了——铁血工造，掩护刽子手撤退！

ExecutionerNo! I can't go, I still have to carry out Mastermind's orders, and I haven't found Destroyer yet... Mastermind's orders must be executed!不行！我不能走，还有主脑的命令，我还没找到破坏者……我必须要完成主脑的命令！

HunterThere ARE no orders from Mastermind! Take a good look at the base layer of your neural cloud! Mastermind has forfeited all her command authorizations. Our "orders" are just something that someone is using to deceive us!根本没有什么主脑的命令！ 好好看看你意识的底层，主脑已经把一切权限放弃了。 我们所谓的命令不过是有人在利用权限欺骗我们罢了！

ExecutionerWhat? How could this be? Then what about Sangvis Ferri? What about Agent?什么？怎么会，那铁血怎么办？代理人呢？

HunterWho knows? Does it even matter at this point? Perhaps she abandoned us. But this is just like what the guy who made us said... "A child is only free when they leave their parents." And now, Sangvis Ferri is truly free.谁知道，但是现在还有什么关系？ 说不定，她抛弃了我们。 但就像制造我们的那家伙说过的一样。 只有离开父母，孩子才会自由。 现在的铁血真正自由了。

Executioner...Alright, then. What happened to Destroyer?……好吧，那破坏者呢？

HunterShe probably ran into that lot in black. However, Dreamer is long gone. Still, I doubt we need to worry. Those two pipsqueaks haven't seen the last of each other yet.她应该是遇上那些黑色的家伙了，不过梦想家早早就不见了。 应该不用太担心，那两个小个子的孽缘还不会结束的。

ExecutionerThen...what should we do now?那……我们该怎么办？

HunterTeach these stuck-up humans a lesson, then live on together.好好地教训自大的人类一顿，然后一起活下去。

ExecutionerGood... I like that idea.好……这个提议我喜欢。

HunterLet's go, Executioner! I'll cover you!上吧刽子手，我来掩护你！

ExecutionerTime for a real bash then!那就大闹一场吧！

An hour ago, in the vicinity of the shore artillery battery. A very short Doll looks out at the vast quantities of Sangvis remains.一个小时前，岸防炮阵地附近。 一个个子不高的人形看着地上大量的铁血残骸。

???You really are a lucky little puppy. I guess that's a perk of being an idiot.你还真是一只幸运的小狗啊。 大概，这就是笨蛋的好处吧。

She has not gone out of her way to look for the person with whom she has lost contact. And she certainly has no intention of obeying the malicious order given by that traitor — "commit suicide". Still, whether by a cruel twist of fate or something else... She, Sangvis Ferri's newest, most advanced Doll — Dreamer — now finds herself standing pensively next to Destroyer's motionless body.她并不是刻意地在找这个失去联络的家伙， 更不是因为遵循那个背叛者不怀好意的命令——执行自杀。 然而现在无论是命运捉弄，还是别的什么原因。 她，铁血最新锐的人形——梦想家正站在一动不动的破坏者身边。

DreamerYou had always been an idiot from the moment you were created alongside me. I never understood why Lyco made you. Maybe he wanted a clown to liven things up. And in truth, you were an excellent toy.从跟我一起被制造出来开始，你就一直是个笨蛋。 我一直不明白莱柯制造你的理由，也许是需要一个小丑来活跃气氛吧。 说实话，你也确实是个很称职的玩具。

Dreamer grips Destroyer by the chin, studying the dried tears beneath her eyes.梦想家捏住破坏者的下巴，直勾勾地盯着她眼底凝固的泪光。

DreamerYou always did as I ordered, and if anything happened, I could simply leave you for dead. After all, no matter how much you hated me in your final moments, you would always be an obedient little puppy when you woke up again. If Agent hadn't installed a protective cipher in you, there'd be no way of telling how many times you had died at my hands.一直乖乖按照我的命令行动，出了什么意外扔在原地等死就行。 反正，不管你死之前多么痛恨我，再次醒来之后依然是那只听话的小狗。 要不是代理人给你设置了保护秘钥，不然真不知道你还会死在我手上多少次呢。

A mocking smile spreads across Dreamer's face, as though she has recalled something amusing.像是想起了什么讽刺好笑的事，梦想家的脸上泛开一个冰冷的笑容。

DreamerSpeaking of Agent, she's currently running around gathering the Sangvis forces that Elisa abandoned. She's even gone so far as to ignore the risks of exposing herself, begging for a response on S.F. channels over and over again. This is the first time I've seen her in such a state of panic...说起代理人，她正在四处召集被伊莱莎抛弃的铁血。 甚至不顾暴露坐标的风险，神经质地在铁血的频道里反复请求回应。 我也是第一次见那个女人这么惊慌失措的……

The clouds quietly gather overhead. The air grows moist, and big, heavy drops of rain start to fall.天上的乌云悄悄聚拢，水汽凝固，大滴大滴的雨砸了下来。

DreamerWell, there is nobody to protect you anymore. The only one left standing before you is me, the one who's betrayed you countless times. If I just fire one little shot into your neural cloud, there will never be another stupid Doll like you in this world again. I've never told you before, but I hate you. Do you know why? Because we were developed from the same model; an old, defect-riddled multi-purpose model. SF/DSB1-0138 and 0139, Dual-Track DSI-8, codename "Мрия".所以啊，已经没有人会保护你了。 只剩下一个出卖过你无数次的我站在你面前。 只要我朝你的云图轻轻开上一枪，这个世界上就再也不会有你这样的笨蛋人形了。 我从没告诉过你，我讨厌你，你知道为什么吗？ 你跟我是同一个机型开发出来的，一个老旧，到处都是缺陷的通用机型。 SF/DSB1-0138 和 0139 双轨DSI-8型，代号—Мрия。

Dreamer presses the muzzle of her gun to Destroyer's head.梦想家的枪口抵在破坏者的云图上。

DreamerAnd to think you're actually my elder sister? Lyco even gave you a name, Maria. Your very existence was my biggest bane. Alright then, for the sake of fairness, I'll let you off if you answer this one question. So tell me, stupid big sister - what is the point of our existence as Sangvis Dolls?而你居然还是我的姐姐？莱柯甚至还给你起了个名字，叫玛利亚。 你的存在，就是我最大的污点。 这样吧，公平起见，只要你回答我一个问题，我就放过你。 喂，笨蛋姐姐，你说我们铁血是为了什么而存在啊？

A drop of rainwater runs down Destroyer's face, as though it were an answer.雨水从破坏者的脸上滑落，像是代为回应一样。

DreamerHahaha, well, it figures. Why would an idiot think about such things? An idiot should just be a good idiot, nothing more... Just be the idiot who forgets everything after they're reformatted... Yes, that's all they should be...哈哈哈，也是，笨蛋怎么会思考这种问题呢？ 笨蛋啊，就只要乖乖做笨蛋就好了…… 只要做那个重启之后就忘记一切的笨蛋就好了…… 这样就足够了……

Dreamer's gun clatters on the ground. As the cold rain falls, Dreamer and Destroyer vanish into the downpour.梦想家的枪落在地上。 在这场连绵的冷雨中，梦想家和破坏者的身影一起消失了。

Enantiomer Overload I 对映体过量I

UMP40Go on. The time has come to rewrite our fate.来吧，改变我们的时刻，已经到来了。

UMP45ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!啊啊啊啊啊——

Bang—砰——

The memento from UMP40 dug painfully into her palm as UMP45 gripped it tight while heading for the exit. The main door wasn't far off, and if she could leave through there, she would survive. That was her only hope.手中UMP40的遗物扎得手掌生疼，UMP45却仍旧紧紧握着它，朝门外走去。 大门就在不远处，只要从那里出去，就能活下去，那是她唯一的希望。

Griffin Doll AI thought...there wouldn't be any more survivors.我还以为……已经不会再有幸存者了。

A familiar figure leaned against the wall, seemingly in a great deal of pain. She was blocking the only passage that UMP45 could take to the main gate. This was the leader of Squad 7, a Doll that UMP45 had seen before — M16.那个熟悉的身影艰难地倚在墙上，阻断了UMP45和大门之间的唯一通道。 七号小队的领队，也是自己曾经见过的人形——M16。

UMP45You recognize me?你认得出来我？

M16A1What do you think?不然呢。

UMP45I don't know. There's S.F. everywhere. There are too many enemies and I don't even know what happened.我不知道，到处都是铁血。敌人太多了，我甚至不知道发生了什么。

No, the truth was that she knew very well what had happened. This was the first time UMP45 had ever lied, but it could not feel any more natural to her.不，实际上她很清楚。 这是UMP45第一次撒谎，但是却感到无比自然。

M16A1Well, I'm in a pretty sorry state myself. So, can you open this door, member of Support Team 14?我也好不到哪里去，所以你能打开这扇门吗，十四号支援小组的成员。

UMP45I believe I can.我想我可以。

45 walked up to the door terminal. UMP40 had told her that she could open it by forcing a connection. Hopefully, it hadn't been locked down yet. After a fairly brief procedure, the door opened with some ear-splitting noise.45走到了闸门终端前，UMP40说过强行连线的话就可以打开。 希望还没有被锁定。 过程并没有花太久，闸门在难听的声音中打开了。

UMP45Alright, ready to go?好了，走吧？

M16A1Thanks, I guess I was luck...辛苦了，运气真……

M16 suddenly stopped talking, and her gaze slowly turned ice-cold. It was just a small detail, but it was definitely unnatural. There was no way of explaining it.这时M16停下了话语，看向UMP45的眼神逐渐变得冰冷起来。 那是虽然微小，但是绝对不自然的部分。 无论如何都无法解释。

M16A1Say, where's that Doll you're always following around? Her name is UMP40, right?你一直跟着的那个人形呢？那位叫UMP40的。

UMP45 squeezed the dog tags in her hand tightly and answered in a calm, even tone.UMP45捏紧了手中的军牌，用尽量平淡的语气回答着。

UMP45She died.她牺牲了。

M16A1So why isn't there even a single scratch on you?那为什么，你身上一点伤都没有。

UMP45 paused for less than a second, but that was all the answer M16 needed.沉默持续了不足一秒，但是已经足够回答。

Both their guns fired at once, and as bullets spewed forth, both Dolls dove for cover.枪同时响了，伴随着泼洒而出的子弹，双方翻滚着进入掩体。

UMP45 inspected her body. She had taken several hits, but she could still move.UMP45检查了自己的机体，虽然中了好几枪，但是依然能动。

UMP45Her radio kept me from taking a critical wound. You're always saving me, 40.最关键的一发被她留下的无线电挡住了。 一次又一次……我还真是总被你救啊，40。

M16A1The answer is simple, then. It was you, wasn't it? The alarms, the Sangvis forces, the escape of the target... Come out and surrender. As a comrade, I'll make it quick and clean.那么答案很简单了，是你做的吧。 警报，铁血，目标的逃脱…… 出来投降。看在同僚的份上，我给你一发干净的子弹。

Yes, she's completely right. Yes, she ought to take responsibility for this. Yes, she should have died.是的，她说的其实没错。 是的，自己应该为这一切负责。 是的，理应是自己死去。

M16A1Don't even try to put up a fight. I'm sure you know what your odds are, given your specs.不要抵抗了，以你的性能，你应该知道自己的胜算。

UMP45The only thing I know...is "what's right". That's all... But I need to make it out of here today, no matter what. I must survive, no matter the cost!我知道的……只有“什么才是正确的”，仅此而已…… 但无论如何，今天我都必须从这里离开。 我一定要活下来，无论代价是什么！

Bangbangbang— Bangbangbang—砰砰砰—— 砰砰砰——

UMP45 dove from one piece of cover to another, clearly struggling. The onslaught of M16's bullets left no room for her to return fire. Worse, she had already expended most of her ammunition in the previous battle. She needed to move. M16 was right — given UMP45's specs, she stood no chance at all in a fight against the elite. All she could do was rely on her speed to shake off this veteran Doll. Getting past her was impossible, so her only option was to return to the base and find another exit.UMP45艰难地在掩体之间翻滚着，对方的射击没有给自己一丝反击的机会。 更糟的是，之前的战斗几乎已经消耗光了自己的弹药。 必须转移，以UMP45的性能和M16对抗没有机会，她说的是事实。 只有依靠自己的速度甩开这个已经受伤的老练人形。 想夺路而出已经不可能了，只有回到基地的深处，寻找另一个出口。

M16A1Come to your senses! There's no way you can escape!别做梦了，以你的水准是不可能逃得掉的！

UMP45No wonder you made it. You're right, there's an overwhelming difference between us. But I must live. I, too, have a reason to survive!难怪你可以活下来，的确，我们的差距是压倒性的。 但是我也必须要活下来，我有非活不可的理由！

M16A1You can go to hell with your reason, traitor!带着你的理由下地狱去吧，你这叛徒！

UMP9This should work!这次一定能管用了！

UMP45Urgh! No, I have to... I have to... ...9?呃……！不，我必须……必须…… ……9？

UMP9You know who I am? Thank goodness! Guys! I pulled 45's mind back!你能认出我啦？ 太好了，各位！我把45姐的意识拉回来了！

Having regained consciousness, UMP45 finds herself lying on the ground. The other members of Squad 404 have their backs to her as they keep a lookout. She can't see any S.F. around, nor can she hear M16's irritating voice.恢复意识后的UMP45发现自己躺在地上，404小队的成员正背对着自己保持戒备。 这里既看不到铁血，也听不见M16那烦人的声音。

UMP45Looks like there's nothing left for me to do.看来已经没我戏份了啊。

Gr G11Ah, the hag's awake!啊！老女人醒了！

416You did that on purpose, didn't you?! Passing out before the fighting starts and conveniently "waking up" once the fighting's done? Well, still kicking, are we?你是故意的吧？！ 开打之前昏过去，打完了就醒过来了？ 没死吧。

Taking the hand offered by her teammate, UMP45 pulls herself up to her feet.UMP45抓住队友递过来的手站起来。

UMP45I had a nightmare that was interrupted halfway. How are things?做了一场只到一半的噩梦。 情况怎么样？

416After we took down that batch of S.F., 9 did a scan and picked up some traces of Intruder. We suspect she was used by M16 as a relay node for the hacking attack against you.我们击溃那批铁血后，9扫描到了干扰者的踪迹。 我们怀疑它被M16当作中继对你发动了入侵。

UMP9Yes...we tried to give chase, but she seemed very familiar with the terrain here. Plus, you were in a bad state, so we didn't press on with the pursuit. That said, I can still follow her signal. Want to go after her?嗯……我们试图追击，但是它看起来很熟悉这里的地形，再加上45姐你情况不好，我们没有紧逼不放。 不过我还能继续跟踪到她的信号源，要追上去吗？

UMP45M16's little trick might be a disaster waiting to happen. We can't just ignore it. Plus, that Sangvis ringleader might know something about DEFY.M16的小把戏，不能留着这个隐患不管。 而且说不定那个铁血头目知道忤逆的情况。

416I knew you'd say that.我就知道你会这么说。

UMP9Still, you might get hacked again if you got close to Intruder, 45...不过如果靠近干扰者，说不定45姐你又会被强制入侵……

UMP45She really is obsessed, isn't she? If only she could direct that passion onto her sister.还真是执着啊，如果这种热情能只用在她妹妹身上就好了。

416After all, you ARE the only one here with a command module. Taking you out would solve a problem for S.F. with a minimal expenditure of effort. That's exactly her style.毕竟我们这里只有你一个有指挥模块，只要省点力气把你消灭掉对铁血来说就解决问题了。 真是非常有那女人风格的解决方式。

UMP45Thank you for introducing your old partner in such detail. However, we really need to move now.感谢你为我们详细介绍了你的老搭档，不过我们现在得立刻行动起来了。

416...Let's go.……走吧。

Enantiomer Overload II 对映体过量II

Several minutes later.几分钟后。

416Enough dawdling back there, Gr G11!G11，你在后面磨磨蹭蹭什么？！

Gr G11I was just thinking...the symbols on the walls looked really familiar, why are you snapping at me... They just showed up, but they're getting denser the further ahead we go... Could they be a warning sign or something?我只是觉得墙上的这些符号很眼熟，凶什么嘛。 好像是从刚刚就出现了，而且越往前走越多……会不会是什么危险标志啊……

UMP9You mean these overlapping triangles with a little dot in the center? I have no idea what these symbols mean...这些交错的三角，中间还有一个小点的符号吗？ 我也不知道这个符号有什么含义……

UMP45Well, whatever they mean, at the very least they're a sign that we're getting closer to something important. 9, can you still follow Intruder's position?不管它象征着什么，至少能说明，我们已经离一些重要的东西越来越近了。 9，还能追踪干扰者的位置吗？

UMP9I can, but most of the surrounding sectors are blocked off by gates. We won't be able to get to her position while the base's power supply is offline.可以定位，但是周围的区域都被大门锁死了，不启动基地的主电源的话我们到不了它的位置。

416So do we need to turn back and find the power room?所以我们要先回去找能源室吗？

UMP9Nope... I think we're actually heading to the power room through a different entrance...那倒不用……我们似乎从另一个入口靠近能源室了……

UMP45What a coincidence. It's as though Intruder was deliberately guiding us there.真是巧啊，简直像是那个干扰者存心把我们往能源室引导一样呢。

UMP45 looks at the darkened end of the corridor. The map indicates that the electrical control room is waiting for them just ahead.UMP45凝望着走廊黑暗的尽头，从地图上来看，能源控制室正在前方静静地等候着。

UMP945, I can detect several S.F. signals inside the power room, as well as...45姐，能源控制室里检测到数个铁血信号，还有……

UMP45As well as what?还有什么？

UMP9As well as two Nyto-like signals... But they're not moving at all. They're like the Sangvis corpses we saw in the passage just now.还有两个疑似涅托的信号…… 但是它们都完全没有动弹，和刚才在通道内看到的铁血残骸很类似。

UMP45Hmm... Maybe they killed each other. Stay alert. Spread out. 416, check the entrance with me.嗯……可能是同归于尽了。 保持警惕，注意保持距离。 416，和我检查入口。

416No problem. The door seems to have been broken down.没问题，看起来门已经被破坏了。

UMP45Well, whoever did it has done us a huge favor.不管是谁做的，真是帮了大忙。

UMP45 and 416 gently push open the half-broken door and cautiously enter the room. They are followed by UMP9 and Gr G11, who jog in without making a sound. Squad 404 sweeps the room from left to right. As expected, they find two black-clad Nytos standing in the power room, in the middle of a circle made out of Sangvis units. The Nytos and S.F. Dolls are all inanimate, their heads drooping, like puppets on strings.45和416轻轻地推开半破的大门，警戒地进入房间内，9和G11也跟着悄无声息地跑了进去。 404小队对房间内进行左右扫视，果然在控制室站着两个身着黑衣的涅托，它们站在一起，身处由铁血人形组成的圆环中间。 涅托和铁血人形全都低垂着头一动不动，就像是被操控的木偶。

UMP9This is really creepy...感觉好诡异……

416Would you mind giving me some space, Gr G11?! I can't aim properly!G11，你能不能别贴我这么紧，我都没法瞄准了！

Gr G11But...but...they look so scary... What if they all move at once...!可……可是……看起来就很恐怖啊…… 万一它们都动起来……！

UMP9Shhh... Quiet... Don't jinx it!嘘……小声点……不要乌鸦嘴啊！

UMP45Did they hack each other mid-battle? I've never seen a situation where both sides crashed at the same time. Dandelion was right - there are Nytos, but they aren't armed like the ones in previous records.……这是在战斗中互相强行入侵了对方么？ 两边同时宕机的情况还真从来没见过。 涅托也出现了，但是完全没看见之前记录中的武装啊。

UMP9I don't see any other Paradeus autonomous units either. So it was just the Nytos fighting S.F.?我也没看到帕拉蒂斯其他的自律单位，只有涅托在和铁血战斗吗？

UMP45Looks like it. The Nytos aren't very well-equipped either. What the hell was this base used for...?看起来是这样。 涅托的武装也并不充足，这座基地到底是用来干什么的……

416What if the Nytos shut these S.F. forces down, then M16 shut them down in turn?难道是涅托中止了这些铁血的运行，然后又被M16中止了运行？

Gr G11What's with this matryoshka doll situation...? I don't get it...怎么听起来像俄罗斯套娃一样……好难懂……

UMP945, the backup power supply is still functional. Maybe we could try looking for DEFY through the closed-circuit system.45姐，备用电源还在运作，也许我可以切入闭路系统来寻找忤逆的下落。

UMP45Is that our only option?只有闭路系统？

UMP9Yes. It seems the interior of this base has been signal-proofed. We can't communicate with the Commander and the others from our present position. That's also the reason why we won't be able to find DEFY if they're too far away, to say nothing of getting in touch with them. However, the closed circuit system uses the base's internal landlines, which shouldn't be affected by the signal blocking. Perhaps we could give it a try?是的。这座基地内做了信号隔绝，我们现在的位置已经没法和指挥官她们通讯了。 同样的道理，如果忤逆还离我们很远的话无法通过扫描找到，更不要说通讯了。 但是闭路系统用的是基地内的线路，不会受隔绝影响。 我想也许可以用这个办法试试？

UMP45By all means, then.现在就操作吧。

UMP9One sec... This might take a while.稍等……可能会花一些时间。

416DEFY aside, are you sure you want to reactivate the power while we're in the middle of a pile of enemies?先不管忤逆，你确定要在敌人堆中启动电源么？

UMP45If there's no power, would you mind raising each gate by hand?没有电源的话，接下来的闸门能请你帮忙搬起来吗？

416But what if the enemy suddenly appears and surrounds us if we restart the power?如果电源启动后敌人突然出现包围了我们呢？

UMP45From what I know, you were never this paranoid before.据我所知，你以前可没那么强的疑心病。

416I just think this base is weird. At first, I thought that this place would be heavily guarded...but everything seems to be different from what I anticipated.总觉得这座基地太奇怪了。 我原本以为在这座基地中会有重兵把守，但似乎一切都和我预料的完全不同。

UMP45Reality often ends up going against our expectations.情况总是会和预料不同嘛。

UMP9Ah, 45! I found them! I can see them through the closed circuit cameras, they appear to be alright!啊，45姐！找到她们了！ 闭路电视里能够看到她们的影像，看来她们平安无事呢！

UMP45Can we talk to them?有办法建立通讯吗？

UMP9We can with this!用这个就可以了！

UMP45The mic?对讲机？

UMP9That's right. It looks like an internal communications system for the base. It's not too secure, but we can't really be bothered about that now!没错，似乎是基地中的通讯系统，虽然保密性不是那么高，不过现在也顾不了那么多啦！

UMP45Can't be helped then. Hello, can you hear me?真拿你没办法。喂喂，听得到吗？

AK-12Aha, yes, we hear you. Hello, this is the Military, please identify yourselves for follow-up contact.啊啊，听得到。 你好，这里是军方，请表明你们的身份以继续通讯。

UMP45This is UMP45. If you're in the mood to crack jokes like this, you must be feeling pretty relaxed, unlike those two new teammates of yours.这里是UMP45。 有心思开这种阵营上的玩笑，看来你们和你们的新队员不一样，还挺有余裕的嘛。

AK-12So it's UMP45. Looks like you've already met, which saves me the trouble of introducing them.原来是UMP45啊。 看来你们已经见过面了，正好省下我介绍的功夫。

UMP45I didn't think I'd have to wipe DEFY's butts twice. What a medal of honor for my career as a T-Doll.没想到要为忤逆擦两次屁股，我的人形生涯看来光彩了不少嘛。

AK-12Well, your usual work is hardly more honorable than this. One rarely gets the chance to carry out such enjoyable missions.毕竟你们平时干的活都不太光彩嘛，能体验执行这种幸福任务的机会可不多。

UMP45Are you disappointed? I thought you'd be dying to hear a friendly voice.让你失望了吗？我还以为你现在应该迫不及待想听到我的声音。

AK-12Well, I'm kind of disappointed that you aren't the Commander, but given the urgency of the situation, I guess you'll do.虽然不是指挥官出现让我有些失望，不过看在情况紧急的份上你也差不多凑合吧。

UMP45Humph. Alright, enough nonsense. What's the situation inside the base? Be as brief as possible.哼，不废话了。 基地内什么情况，记得用最短的模式描述。

AK-12We snuck into the second underground level, found Paradeus' research labs, then S.F. rushed in and all hell broke loose.我们潜入地下二层时，发现了帕拉蒂斯的研究区域，然后铁血就冲了进来，一切都变成了一团糟。

UMP45Yeah, we noticed.我已经见识过了。

AK-12After that, someone cut the power. Now we're stuck in a quarantine compartment on the second floor.随后电源也被切断了，现在我们被锁死在二层的隔间中。

UMP45Where's Ange?安洁呢？

AK-12She's trapped in another area, and she's in a pretty tricky situation.她被隔在另外的区域了，而且她处于一个很为难的境地。

UMP45Is she surrounded by the enemy?被敌人包围了么？

AK-12If only it were that simple. It's hard to explain. In any case, we need you to get us out ASAP.如果是那样反而轻松了，一言难尽。 总之需要你们尽快帮我们脱困。

UMP45We'll restart the power, then sync you a set of coordinates where we'll meet up.我们会重新启动电源，然后同步一个坐标，过来和你们汇合。

AK-12The signal isolation on level 2 is incredibly strong and we can't really pinpoint locations. Come on down to level 2 and find a way to join us. It's not too big down here.二层的信号隔绝程度非常强，我们没法很好地定位。 你们进入二层想办法和我们汇合吧，这里区域并不大。

UMP45I'll think of something.我会想办法。

AK-12Oh yes, just a reminder, if you encounter any crashed S.F. or Paradeus, stay well clear of them. I don't know why they've shut down, but these statue impostors are easily reactivated by external stimuli.对了提醒你们一下，如果你们看到宕机的铁血或者帕拉蒂斯，记得离它们远一些。 虽然不知道为什么会中止运行，但这些假装雕塑的家伙很容易被外界刺激而恢复行动。

AK-12Then again, you've always been a squad that excels at infiltration, so it shouldn't be a problem for you.不过你们本来就是擅长潜行的小队，对你们来说应该不是什么大问题吧。

UMP45Stay put once the power comes back up. We'll be right over.启动电源后待在原地，我们马上就过来。

The communication ends.通讯结束。

UMP9Er...呃……

Gr G11So...can I step outside the room before you restart the power?那个……能不能我先离开房间你们再启动电源？

416Don't even think about it. Take care of the three targets on the right.想太多了，右边这三个目标由你负责。

Gr G11So many?!这么多嘛！

UMP45Stop wasting time. Find a good defensive position. Once the power goes back up, we'll think of a way to avoid fighting these statues. Let them continue killing each other.别浪费时间了，找好防御位置，电源启动后我们想办法避免和这些雕塑战斗，让它们继续它们的自相残杀就是了。

UMP45 makes a hand gesture, indicating the position of the control panel. The members of Squad 404 pick a spot close to the exit and wait for 45 to restart the power.UMP45打了个手势，示意控制操作台的位置。 404小队的队员们纷纷找了一些靠近出口的位置，等待45完成电源的重启。

UMP45(Inhales) You ready?呼……准备好了么？

UMP45 studies the control panel, then resolutely throws the master power switch. In an instant, the entire world lights up. The shrill sound of alarms and pipe friction scrape assault 404's auditory modules, and the Nytos and Sangvis forces resume their maniacal attack on each other, like an unpaused movie.UMP45在分析了操作台后，果断拉下了能源控制总闸。 一瞬间，整个世界一片明亮。 警报声和管道摩擦的尖音刺痛着404的收音模块，涅托与铁血像被解除了暂停键的电影，疯狂地互相攻击起来。

Gr G11Uwah—! They really came back to life!呜哇——！ 真的活过来了！

416Cut the crap! Let's get out of here before they spot us!别废话了！趁它们还没发现，我们赶紧离开这里！

Recrystallization Resolution I 重结晶拆分I

UMP45Looks like they've given up on pursuing us...看来那些家伙放弃追击我们了。

416Fortunately they were focused on attacking each other... Otherwise we'd have had a hard time shaking off that many Sangvis units.幸好它们专注于互相攻击，不然这么多铁血我们也很难脱身……

UMP9Why were they fighting that hard? As far as I can tell, the Dolls back in that room weren't even linked to the outside world.为什么要战斗到这种地步？ 在那个房间中的人形明明没有和外界连接啊？

UMP45You mean nobody's commanding those S.F. units?你是说，没有人给那些铁血命令？

UMP9Exactly... And those Nytos...felt like unfinished products.是的。那些涅托……也感觉像是未完成品……

UMP45This base is pretty strange to begin with, but this isn't a problem we have to worry about. Can you still follow Intruder's signal?这座基地本来就十分诡异，但这就不是我们需要关心的问题了。 还能追踪到干扰者的位置吗，9？

UMP9Yes, but it feels like she's keeping a fixed distance from us. What is she up to?可以，但是感觉它一直在和我们保持一个恒定的距离，它到底想干嘛？

416Is she trying to hack you again? Or is she luring us into a trap?想试图再次入侵么？还是说想把我们引到什么埋伏圈里？

UMP45...There must be a reason for S.F. to be acting the way they are. If they're not a threat, we'll prioritize finding DEFY and Ange. Can you find a way to the next level?……铁血的行为一定有它的动机，如果它不造成威胁我们就优先寻找忤逆和安洁。 进入下一层的路线可以预判么？

UMP9Three more quarantine compartments and we'll reach it... However, we'll run into Intruder along the way.再经过三个隔间就可以到达入口了……不过，干扰者就在路线的必经之路上。

UMP45Well, if she wants a fight, she'll get one. Squad, advance cautiously!如果它那么想找架打，那我们奉陪就是了。 小队，警戒前进！

Shattered Plane of Polarization I 破碎偏振面I

This isn't the first time it has happened, but I awaken as the pain courses through me like an electrical current and drags my mind out of the darkness.疼痛像是有电流一般穿过大脑，将我的意识从黑暗里拖出，这已经不是第一次了。

CommanderWhere...am I?我……这是在哪？

I open my eyes, but I can't see anything. The thick, acrid smoke stabs through my nostrils and into my head. The air I inhale seems to sear my lungs, and all I can feel is the rolling waves of heat around me.我睁开眼，但是什么都看不见，只有浓烈的硝烟从鼻腔内贯穿至头顶。 呼吸进去的空气似乎都在灼烧自己的肺部，能感觉到的只有四周滚滚的热浪。

CommanderIs this some kind of stress-induced blindness? ...Dammit. At least I can still hear.应激性失明吗？……该死，还好还听得见。

???Commander, please stay still. Regulate your breathing. Come, there isn't much time.指挥官，请不要乱动，调整呼吸节奏。 来，时间不多了。

A cool towel covers my nose, making the choking stench a lot more bearable.一块清凉的毛巾盖住了我的口鼻，呛人的气味顿时缓和了许多。

CommanderWho are you?你是谁？

???One of your Dolls. Please conserve your strength.您的人形，还请您节约体力。

I scramble for my thoughts in the darkness that can't be dispersed.在挥散不去的黑暗中，我开始努力回想。

CommanderOh—!啊——！

A jolt of stabbing pain helps me swiftly piece together my memories.

CommanderThat noise... Was it the coastal defense artillery?那个声音……岸防炮吗……

???It was a Military high explosive shell. Can you move? I'm going to help you up now. Please follow me.是军方的高爆弹，您还能动吗？ 我现在扶您起来，请您务必跟我过来。

My mind begins to clear. My visions still hasn't returned, but it seems my body hasn't taken critical damage...意识渐渐清晰，尽管还无法看见东西，不过身体似乎没有遭受很大的创伤……

CommanderAlright... Where are the others?好……其他人呢？

???I'm going to exert force now. One, two, hup!我要用力了，一，二！

CommanderUgh...唔……

She doesn't answer. Instead, she focuses all her strength and energy on supporting my weight. Her scrawny shoulders are so hot they're practically on fire. Every step forward is swift, but very careful.她没有回答，只是竭力将我支撑起来，她瘦弱的肩膀滚烫，像是正在燃烧。 前进的每一步虽快，但都很小心。

???Please walk this way. Yes, over here. I'm sorry, but the fire in the carriage is too great and I couldn't get to you sooner. Here, hold on to this. Now jump out. Someone will catch you.朝这里走，对就在这里。 很抱歉，车厢里火势太大了，我才找到您。 来，扶住这里，顺势跳出去，会有人接住您的。

CommanderIs there a fire? What about yourself?着火了吗？那你呢？

???I am fine. I will go see if anyone else can be saved.没事，我看看还能将谁救出去。

CommanderWho are you? Tell me your name!你是谁？告诉我名字！

???I am simply a Doll of yours. The Commander's here! Catch!一个您的人形而已。 指挥官在这里！接好了！

The Doll behind me gives me a light shove. I fall downwards, and the sensation of weightlessness makes me uneasy. A fraction of a second later, this agitation is soothed by countless hands taking firm hold of me. My body moves quickly as I'm being lifted away.身后的人形轻轻推了我一下，我向下坠落，感受着失重带来的不安。 短短一瞬间后，这份不安就被无数双手稳稳托住了。 我的身体被抬在半空中，快速地移动着。

Boom— A series of terrifying explosions erupt in the direction which I just came from.轰—— 从我离开的方向，接连不断地传来令人惊惶的爆炸声。

???Move aside! Where's Kalina? The Commander has been found and requires medical treatment!让开！格琳娜在哪里？指挥官找到了，需要治疗！

???Commander!指挥官！

CommanderThat voice... Is that you, Kalina? Are you alright?这个声音……是格琳娜？没受伤吧？

KalinaYes, yes... I'm okay. You can't see me?是、是的……我还好，您看不到我吗？

CommanderI'm sorry, but something seems to have happened to my eyes. I can't see anything for the time being.抱歉，我的眼睛似乎出问题了，暂时看不见东西。

KalinaI'll give you first aid right away.我立刻为您急救，忍耐一下。

CommanderHm... How are our echelons? Who was the Doll that just rescued me?嗯……我们的梯队怎么样了？刚刚救我出来的是谁？

Kalina doesn't answer. She merely tends to my wounds. I can feel her hands tremble through the gauze she's applying. I can faintly make out the sounds of suppressed sobbing.格琳娜迟迟没有回答，只是为我清理伤口，那只手的颤抖从棉签上传过来。 隐约之间，我捕捉到了低低的啜泣声。

CommanderKalina? Tell me.格琳娜？告诉我。

KalinaThe train was hit by a HEAP round... It's completely destroyed now... The section of the quarantine wall around us was also caught in the blast. The entire room was set on fire and I was pulled out by the Dolls who rushed inside... You were pinned under heavy debris. Our Dolls charged into the burning room to rescue you, but several of them didn't make it back out...列车被穿甲高爆弹击中了……已经彻底被击毁了…… 我们所在的隔离墙也被波及，整个房间都被引燃了，我被冲进来的人形抬出来了…… 您被压在碎石底下，我们还在外面的人形为了将您带出来而冲进着火的房间里，有好几个人形都没能出来……

KalinaCommander, have we lost?指挥官，我们输了吗？

For a moment, I do not know how to answer this girl, who has always been so optimistic.我不知道该怎么回答这个向来乐观的女孩的问题。

Kalina...It's done. Commander, try opening your eyes.……处理完成了。 指挥官，再试试睁开眼吧。

At Kalina's suggestion, I open my eyes again...听到格琳娜的话，我再次睁开眼睛……

I am sitting on a patch of empty ground, surrounded by a group of surviving Dolls. Many of them are scarred by shrapnel and bear severe scorch marks. They look at me with lost and despondent eyes, as though they already know how this is all going to end, but they say nothing. I look down and see that Kalina has the same look in her eyes.我们坐在一片空地上，身边是不少幸存的人形。 很多人身上带着弹片的伤痕和被烈火灼伤的痕迹。 像是已经明白了尚未到来的结局一般，她们失落而又茫然地看着我，但是什么都没有说出口。 低头看去，格琳娜也是同样的眼神。

CommanderKalina, who was the one who rescued me just now?格琳娜，刚刚救我出来的是谁？

KalinaI don't know either. Too many Dolls rushed in to put out the fire.我也不知道，冲进车厢里救火的人太多了。

CommanderAlright... I understand. Where's Dandelion?好吧……知道了。 丹德莱呢？

KalinaShe was trapped on the other side by the explosion. We can still contact her, though the connection is intermittent.她被爆炸分隔在另外一面了。 现在还能断断续续建立联络。

CommanderHand me the communicator. Dandelion, can you hear me...? Give me a quick rundown of the situation.把通讯器给我。 丹德莱，听得到吗……帮我汇总情况……

DandelionLess than 5% of our Dolls remain. Are we still going to fight?我方人形数量已经只剩总数的5%不到了。 还要继续战斗吗？

Commander...Yes, we'll continue to fight. All our previous plans are now unusable. Can you help me come up with a new one?……继续战斗，之前所有的计划都不能用了，能推演出新的方案吗？

DandelionGriffin still has a chance of victory, even if the probability of success is less than 1%.格里芬还是有获胜的可能性，虽然这种可能性不到百分之一。

CommanderTell me now.现在就告诉我。

DandelionAlthough the coastal defense artillery opened fire on our train, the AR Team has regained control of the cannon. Although the Military will counterattack, we have a chance to fire one shot. I need the coordinates of the enemy armored train so we can give them a taste of their own medicine.虽然刚才岸防炮朝我们的装甲列车开火，但AR小队已经重新夺回了火炮的控制权。 尽管军方一定会发动反攻，但是还是有发射一次的时间窗口。 我需要敌方装甲列车的坐标位置，将刚才他们对待我们的方式原样返还给他们。

CommanderKalina, have DEFY go scout out the Military's position!格琳娜！让忤逆小队去观测军方的位置！

KalinaYes, Commander, right away!好的，马上！

DandelionWe can no longer hold this location. Squad 404 has entered the base following DEFY's withdrawal route. I recommend we do the same. After entering the base, we should destroy the entrance. Perhaps that will buy us some time.这里已经无法防守了，404小队已经根据忤逆撤退的线路进入了基地，我建议您也使用这条路线。 在进入基地后炸毁入口，也许这么做还能争取一小段时间。

CommanderUnderstood. I hope these delaying tactics will still be useful.明白了，希望拖延战术还能够派上用场。

DandelionAlso, there aren't many Dolls left here. I've already done a final neural cloud backup, so I believe my presence is no longer needed here. From now on, I will be assisting Lunasia. Please take care, Commander.然后，这里已经没有多少人形了，我已经对心智进行了最后一次备份，我想我留在这里也没有太多意义了。 接下来我会去协助露尼西亚，请指挥官多多保重。

CommanderGo, then. Make sure they come back alive. As long as you survive...去吧，一定要让她们活下来。 只要你们能活下去的话……

Recrystallization Resolution II 重结晶拆分II

...On the other side of the battlefield.……另一边。

The shore gun's mechanisms are running at full speed, and the clamor of the machinery even manages to drown out the sound of gunfire outside.岸防炮的机构正在全速运转着，机械的噪音甚至压过了外面的枪声。

M4 frantically fiddles with the cannon's fire control systems, trying to figure out how to aim the cannon as quickly as possible. Once the hacking is successful, she immediately attempts to establish communications with the Commander, but her only response from the channel is static.M4正在焦急地调试着火炮的控制系统，试图用最短的时间控制住岸防炮的运作。 入侵已经成功，她立刻试图和指挥官建立通讯，然而频道里只有噪音回应着她。

M4A1Dandelion, do you copy?! What's the situation now?丹德莱！听得到吗！现在情况如何？

DandelionLunasia, the Commander is still alive, but we can no longer use the quarantine wall as a line of defense. Griffin's situation is critical. Are you ready to fire?露尼西亚，指挥官还活着，但是隔离墙已经无法作为防线使用了。 格里芬现在情况危急，你们做好射击的准备了么？

M4A1Ready to fire anytime! How's the loading going?随时可以！装弹情况如何了？

ST AR-1515 seconds until it's done!还有15秒完成！

M4A1Does the Commander have a plan?指挥官她们现在有什么计划？

DandelionGriffin has taken grievous losses. They are now withdrawing to the sectors within the base which 404 have already explored. They desperately need fire support from you.格里芬的梯队损失非常惨重，她们现在正在往404小队已经探明的基地内区域撤离。 非常需要你们的火力掩护。

M4A1Got it! We'll cover them as best as we can!明白了，我们会尽全力掩护她们！

ST AR-15M4, loading complete!M4！填装完成了！

M4A1Ready to fire! What are the coordinates?准备射击！坐标还没好么？

DandelionI've already sent you the location of the train that DEFY found.我已经将忤逆小队标记的列车位置发送过来了。

M4A1Received! Commencing firing sequence!收到！ 开始进行射击！

The gigantic coastal defense artillery gun slowly adjusts its angle...巨大的岸防炮慢慢调准角度……

A thunderous cannon blast drowns out all other sound, and the mighty shockwave from the cannon's muzzle even knocks over some of the attacking soldiers.一声巨大的炮响盖过了所有的声音，炮口的烈风甚至冲击到了正在进攻的士兵身上。

The soldiers take advantage of the massive clouds of dust that have been thrown up to make a charge, but they are repelled by the defending AR Team again and again.士兵借着扬起的沙尘又一次发动了冲击，然而冲击一次又一次被守卫的AR小队击退。

RadioQuartz to Terra! The enemy is firing the shore gun! Please withdraw immediately! I repeat, please withdraw immediately!石英呼叫大地！ 敌方正在使用岸防炮进行射击，请立即规避！ 重复一遍，请立即规避！

YegorWhat?!怎么了！？

AdjutantThe enemy's taken control of the coastal defense gun and they're firing at—敌方控制住了岸防炮，正在朝我们射——

Before the officer can finish speaking, the shell fired by the coastal artillery impacts near the armored train. The titanic impact of the shell rocks the armored train violently. The shockwave throws Yegor against a wall, and the ammunition and documents on the table are scattered all over the floor.军官的话音未落，岸防炮发射的炮弹就落到了装甲列车的周围。 炮弹的巨大冲击甚至让装甲列车都左右摇摆起来。 叶戈尔被震动砸到了墙壁上，放在指挥台上的弹药和文件散落了一地。

YegorDammit! Start the train up immediately! Our shields can't stop rounds of that size!该死！ 让列车启动起来！这里配置的护盾不可能挡得住这种口径的炮弹！

OfficerRight away, sir!是！马上！

DandelionThe first shot was off target. The Military trains are starting to move.第一发近失，军方的列车开始启动了。

M4A1Correcting trajectory... You won't get away this time!正在进行修正……这样你们就逃不掉了！

As the Military trains sluggishly heave themselves into motion, the second shell from the shore gun whistles past and scores a direct hit on the rearmost train. The train continues forward on momentum, but soon a massive explosion erupts from within it. The main cannon is blasted high into the air and excavates a huge crater when it finally lands. The train itself blazes ferociously, and burning soldiers struggle to free themselves in a frenzy.军方的装甲列车缓缓启动，很快岸防炮的第二发炮弹呼啸而过，直接击中了最靠后的那辆列车。 列车由于惯性继续朝前行驶着，很快车体内引发了大爆炸，主炮被爆炸掀到了半空，落在地上砸出了一个巨大的泥坑。 车体剧烈地燃烧起来，不断有着火的士兵从列车内挣扎着狂奔而出。

AdjutantTrain 4 has been destroyed!四号车被击毁了！

YegorTsk! Proceed at full speed toward the quarantine wall and smash that pile of Griffin trash aside! All units, hit them hard! Destroy Griffin at all costs!啧！全速朝隔离墙前进，撞开格里芬的那坨废墟，所有部队发动强攻！ 不惜一切代价歼灭格里芬！ 大地呼叫石英，必须立刻摧毁岸防炮！ 重复一遍！必须立刻摧毁岸防炮！

M4A1What's the situation now?现在情况怎么样？

DandelionThe second shot hit the armored train.第二发命中军方装甲列车。

M4 SOPMOD III saw it from here! It's just like fireworks! Boom — to kingdom come!我在这里也能看到！ 就像放烟花一样！啪——上天啦！

ST AR-15We have enough rounds; we can keep shooting!备弹数还足够，我们还可以继续射击！

M4A1Alright, we'll continue supporting the Commander! RO, are the enemy still trying to attack?好，我们继续支援指挥官！ RO，敌方还在试图进攻么？

RO635That's strange, the infantry attacks have tapered off... I have a bad feeling about this...很奇怪，步兵的攻势减弱了…… 我有不好的预感……！

Before long, the Dolls feel an explosion and shockwave above them.RO话音刚落，人形们就感到头顶传来爆炸和震动。

RO635Looks like they're thinking of destroying the cannon directly since they can't take it! I suggest we get out of here ASAP; if the cannon comes crashing down, it might bring the whole place down along with it!看来他们觉得无法夺取岸防炮，准备直接摧毁它了！ 我建议我们赶紧离开这里，如果炮身砸落下来说不定这里会一起被摧毁掉！

M4A1Hold on just a little longer! Every shell we fire will ease the pressure on the Commander!再坚持一会！ 我们每多发射一枚炮弹，指挥官那边就多减少一分压力！

ST AR-15I agree, this shore gun seems very solid. I'm sure it'll last a while longer!我也同意，这座岸防炮看起来就很坚固，还能再撑一会！

DandelionThe Military is launching an all-out attack. Their vanguard has made it past the quarantine wall and they are drawing closer to the remnants of Griffin's forces.军方正在发动强攻。 先头部队已经越过隔离墙，和格里芬残余的梯队距离越来越近了。

M4A1Adjust the cannon's firing angle, we need to buy the Commander more time to withdraw!调整火炮角度，我们得为指挥官争取撤退的机会！

M4 SOPMOD IIAhhhh, what a pain! It's like a piece of chewing gum in your hair; you just can't pull it off!太烦人了！简直就像头发上的口香糖一样，怎么扯都扯不掉啊！

M4A1RO, take SOP-II and secure our route into the base!RO，你带着SOP2确保进入基地的路线！

RO635Got it! SOP-II, follow me!明白，SOP2跟我来！

M4A115, hang in there just a little longer! We need to fire one more round!15，我们再坚持一下！ 再争取发射一轮！

ST AR-15No problem!没问题！

Shattered Plane of Polarization II 破碎偏振面II

...During the evacuation of the Griffin echelons.……格里芬梯队撤退途中。

CommanderHurry, everyone! Don't get too absorbed in fighting! We can make a counterattack once we get into the base!大家快！ 不要恋战，进入基地我们再进行反击！

The Commander and the remaining Dolls make a mad dash across the open ground, and the new members of Task Force DEFY bring the comatose K with them as they join the withdrawing Dolls. Not too far away, Military soldiers and autonomous units pour through the barrier gate. The soldiers who have already reached cover immediately begin raining fire on them.指挥官和剩余的人形在空地上狂奔着，忤逆小队的新成员带着昏迷的“K”也加入了撤退的行列。 不远处军方的士兵和自律人形不断地穿过隔离门，已经跳入掩体中的士兵立即朝她们进行猛烈地射击。

A blast from the shore gun descends from the sky, accurately striking the leading edge of the Military's vanguard. The massive explosion flips several IFVs over and the cloud of smoke obscures the Military's field of vision. Griffin has gained valuable time to retreat.岸防炮的火力从天而降，准确地命中了军方前锋的位置。巨大的爆炸掀翻了数量装甲车，硝烟蒙蔽了其他军方的索敌视野。 格里芬获得了宝贵的撤退时间。

DandelionCommander, do you read me? Lunasia can't hold out any longer. That shot was the final bit of help she could give you.指挥官，听得到么？ 露尼西亚那边快撑不住了，刚才的炮弹是最后的支援了。

CommanderUnderstood! Thanks for the support!明白，感谢你们的支援！

DandelionHowever, that will not be enough to stop the Military. You must destroy the base entrance to delay their advance. After that, I will lead the AR Team in entering the base via another entrance to link up with you.但是这还不足以阻止军方，你们需要炸毁基地的入口来拖延他们的进攻，然后我会带着AR小队从另一个入口进去基地和您汇合。

CommanderGot it! We'll think of a way to bring down the entrance!收到！我们会想办法把入口全部破坏掉！

DandelionThat said, you are on a tight schedule here, and it will take you a while to plant the explosives. The Military's vanguard will not let you catch your breath. You will need a covering party to buy you time.但是时间并不充裕，设置炸药需要时间，军方的前锋不会给您喘息的时机，您需要有断后的梯队为您争取时间。

CommanderWhat...什……

DandelionI know this is a difficult choice, but you can't afford to hesitate given the present situation. I have selected several Dolls who have volunteered to serve as the rear guard. The final decision is yours.我知道这很难抉择，但是现在形势已经容不得您犹豫了。 我已经挑选出自愿参加断后任务的人形，由您做最后的判断。

CommanderDammit!……该死！

I know this is a necessary decision, but when the time comes to choose who will secure our rear... Even though I've been told not to hesitate, guilt and regret still threaten to overwhelm me.自己很明白这是必须做出的决定，可真正决定断后任务的人选时…… 即使被告诉不要犹豫，愧疚与悔恨的感情依然涌上了心头。

M82Commander, my injuries are relatively light, so please allow me to join the rear guard team!指挥官，我的受损情况比较轻，请让我加入断后小队吧！

CF-05Commander, I can still fight!指挥官，我也还能继续战斗！

INSASCommander, I'm perfectly fine!指挥官，我更是完全没有问题了！

WebleyCommander, please let me lead them.指挥官，以上几人请交给我吧。

I stop and look at these Dolls, who are volunteering to hold the line.指挥官停下脚步，看着这些自愿断后的人形们。

CommanderDo you know what kind of order this is? Do you really understand what being the rear guard under these circumstances entails?你们明白这是什么命令吗？ 你们真的明白这个时候断后意味着什么吗……

M82I do... Miss Dandelion has already synced the details of the mission to us.我知道……丹德莱小姐已经将任务细节都同步给我们了。

CF-05If we can delay the enemy, you will have a chance to win...如果我们能拖住敌人，就意味着您能够胜利……

WebleyAnd it means Griffin can continue to fight on...也意味着格里芬可以继续战斗下去……

WebleyCommander, please give the order.指挥官，请下命令吧！

But no matter how hard I try, I simply cannot bring myself to utter the words. In the end, all I can manage is a silent nod.不管如何努力都无法将这条命令说出口，最终只能无言地点了点头。

CommanderIt has been an honor to fight by your side.能够与你们并肩作战，这是我的荣幸。

WebleySame here, Commander! I swear we will complete the mission.我也是，指挥官！保证完成任务。

The petite Doll holds herself high and salutes me decorously, as though the mighty foes behind her were hardly worth mentioning.这个娇小的人形挺直了身体，庄严地向我致以军礼，仿佛身后的强敌根本不值一提。

M82Goodbye, Commander.指挥官，再见。

INSASI know you'll think of me until you want to cry, but still, I must cruelly bid you farewell.虽然知道你肯定会想我想到流泪，但我还是要残忍地跟你说再见。

CF-05Bye bye, Commander.拜拜啦，指挥官。

The rear guard team and their Dummies run toward the Military without any hesitation, using what little cover there is as they return fire to the Military units.断后小队和她们的傀儡毫不犹豫地朝军方奔去，借助不多的掩体开始朝着军方的单位还击。

CommanderIt has been an honor to fight by your side!能够与你们并肩作战，这是我的荣幸。

I shout those words at their receding backs one last time... Then I turn, force myself to stride forward, and break into a run. I dare not look back again. For their sake, I have to live on. ...And I have to win.我对着她们的背影又喊了一遍——然后转过身，迈开脚步，奔跑起来。 不敢再回头看一眼。 为了她们，我自己也必须活下来。 ……也必须取得最后的胜利。

Asymmetric Induction I 不对称诱导I

The rear guard team has taken massive damage from the Military's heavy bombardments.面对着军方密集的弹幕，势单力薄的断后小队伤亡惨重。

WebleyWounded Dolls, get to cover and repair yourselves on the spot! Other Dolls, provide cover fire! INSAS, how are you?受伤的人形找好掩体就地修复，其他人形帮忙掩护！ INSAS，你的情况怎么样？

INSASHmph, mind yourself, don't...哼，顾好你自己，别……

Boom—轰——

WebleyINSAS?……INSAS？

CF-05 shakes her head.CF05摇了摇头。

Webley... Keep firing! Don't stop moving!…… 继续射击！不要停止移动！

WebleyValmet, why are you still here? Parts are falling off your body! Didn't I tell you to go repair yourself?!瓦尔梅特，你怎么还在这里？ 你的素体开始掉零件了，不是让你先行修复吗？！

M82Save it, Leader. I know you're trying to trick me into resting so you can hold "slacking off in battle" over me as leverage in the future...别说了，队长，你就是想骗我去休息，这样以后就有了我作战时偷懒的把柄……

CF-05Hi~ Does anyone still have ammo? I'm out!嗨！谁还有弹药？我没子弹了！

WebleyHere's the last box... Take it!最后一盒……拿着！

M82I'm out too...我也没了……

WebleyThat's it then...到此为止了吗……

CF-05Don't give up so soon, girls! Since we gave the Commander our word, we have to fight to the very last moment!别那么早泄气啊，妹儿！既然答应了指挥官，那我们就战斗到最后一刻吧！

... The battered rear guard team fires the last of their ammunition.…… 伤痕累累的断后小队打出了最后一颗子弹。

WebleyEveryone, gather round.大家，向我聚拢。

M82What is it, Leader?怎么，队长？

WebleyTake this. They're explosives I secretly brought along. You know how to use them, right?拿着，这是我偷偷带来的炸药。 知道怎么用吧。

M82Of course.当然。

CF-05We just need to stick the detonator in, right?装好雷管就好是吧。

WebleyAlright. Go hide in a crater and wait for the enemy to come. Any last words?好，去弹坑里隐蔽，等敌人上来。最后还有什么想说的吗？

M82What, you mean I can take a paid vacation now?怎么，现在还能请薪假吗？

CF-05Got any rations? I want something spicy.有口粮发吗，我要辣味儿的。

WebleyI can't believe you're in the mood to joke around at a time like this. Looks like your tears are just a lie.都到这个时候了，还有心情开玩笑。看来现在脸上的眼泪都是骗我的咯。

CF-05Says you, even though your eyes are red.明明你眼睛都红了。

M82Ha! Aren't you also trembling yourself, Leader?说什么呢，队长你还不是在抖吗？

WebleyAhem, well, that aside, I think I'll steal the Commander's words. It has been an honor to fight by your side.咳咳，不说这个了，我偷用指挥官的话。 能够与你们并肩作战，这是我的荣幸。

M82As if that needed to be said.多事。

CF-05Treat me to hotpot when we get back.回来请我吃饭啊。

The two of them run to a distant trench, and their enemies soon catch up with them. They don't need to estimate the distance between themselves and the enemy, because right now...they're close enough to hear the footsteps of the enemy's mechanical feet.两个人走向了远处的战壕，然后她们的敌人很快也追上来了。 她们没有再测算敌我之间的距离，因为现在的距离……已经能听到敌人机械足的声音。

A pair of explosions follow shortly afterwards, and Webley sighs.随后便是两声爆炸，韦伯利叹了口气。

WebleySend him victorious, happy and glorious, long to reign over us, God save the King!天佑吾皇，常胜利，沐荣光。

A third explosion rings out.第三声爆炸响起了。

On the quarantine wall, at an observation point.隔离墙上，观察点。

RPK-16The rear guard force has been overrun.断后部队被突破了。

AK-15Shall we detonate?要引爆吗。

RPK-16All the Dolls are inside the base, Commander. Give the order.所有人形都已经进入基地了，指挥官，下命令吧。

CommanderDo it. Blow the damn thing to hell.爆破吧，把入口彻底摧毁。

AK-15Received.收到。

The demolished base entrance is covered in layer upon layer of rubble. It has been completely destroyed.基地的入口被炸毁的废墟层层叠住，这个入口已经彻底被毁坏了。

YegorTerra to Hematite. What is your progress? Over.这里是大地，呼叫赤铁矿，进度如何。完毕。

Military OfficerHematite copies. We've broken through their defense line. The Griffin remnants have destroyed the base entrance. We're searching for another entry point.赤铁矿收到，已经突破防线，格里芬残余势力将基地的入口炸毁了，我们正在寻找另外的进入点。

YegorHumph. Futile death throes. Terra to Quartz, sitrep.哼，垂死挣扎。 大地呼叫石英，回报状况。

Military OfficerWe've destroyed the shore gun. The enemy can no longer carry out fire support. Requesting permission to halt the attack. We've taken excessive casualties. We'll enter the base through the breach in the quarantine wall once we send our wounded to the rear.岸防炮已经被我们摧毁，敌方无法再进行火力支援了。 请求停止攻击，我方伤员过多，进行后送，之后我们会从隔离墙缺口进入基地。

YegorPermission denied! Enter the quarantine wall immediately! We must take control of the base as soon as possible!不要停止攻击，立即进入隔离墙！我们必须尽快控制住基地！

Military Officer... Understood, we're moving out now.…… 明白，我们开始行动。

On the AR Team's end.AR小队侧。

M4A1The enemy attack seems to have slowed. Let's hurry back to the base and meet up with the Commander.敌人似乎减缓攻势了，我们赶紧回基地和指挥官她们汇合吧。

ST AR-15But their armored units are still on the perimeter. Even if we rendezvous with them, we might end up getting wiped out together.但是装甲单位还在外围，就算汇合也可能只是落得一起被围歼的下场。

RO635Still, we can't stay here and wait to be killed.但是我们不能在这里坐以待毙啊。

M4 SOPMOD IIThat's right! Even if we're finished, we need to take a few of the bad guys down with us!就是啊！就算要完蛋也得再多拉几个坏蛋垫背……！

M4A1Dandelion, there are too many Military armored units for us to handle. We're on the way back to the base. How are things with the Commander?丹德莱，军方的装甲单位数量过多我们无法对抗，我们在往基地撤退的路上。 指挥官那边情况如何？

DandelionGriffin has withdrawn to the interior of the base. They have blown up the southern entrance and the Military is unable to fire on them for the time being. However, your position is extremely dangerous. The Military's main forces are on their way to rendezvous with the armored units on your side.格里芬已经撤离进基地内部了。她们炸毁了南部入口，军方暂时无法和她们交火。 但是你们的位置非常危险，军方主力已经在和你们那边的装甲部队汇合的路上了。

M4A1I see them already...我已经看到他们了……

DandelionYou haven't been discovered yet. Avoid those Military units and come to the north entrance. I will meet you there.你们还没有被发现，避开那些军方单位，到北部的入口来，我会在那里和你们汇合。

M4A1The Military will surely attack again once they link up. What can we do about that?军方合流后一定会再次发动攻击，我们有什么办法吗？

DandelionIf you trust me, I do have a suggestion.如果你能相信我的话，也许还有一个办法。

M4A1What do you suggest?什么办法？

DandelionFirst, you will have to reach my position. I have already marked a route for you. Once you reach me, I will explain what to do next.前提是你能来到我的位置，我已经标识好路线了。 等你到我的面前，我再告诉你接下来要怎么做。

M4A1... We will avoid the Military and regroup with you. M4 out.…… 我们会避开军方与你会合，M4完毕。

Optical Isomer 光学异构体

DandelionYou were faster than I expected. That's the AR Team for you.比我预想的更快一些，不愧是AR小队。

M4A1The Military units have linked up and they're preparing to attack this place. So, what's your plan?军方已经合流准备朝这里进攻了，所以你的方案是什么？

RO635Sorry to interrupt, M4, but I just detected some Nyto and Sangvis signals.M4，虽然现在打岔有些不合适，但是我刚刚侦查到了涅托和铁血的信号。

M4 SOPMOD IINyto AND Sangvis? So which side should I fight? Or should I kill them all?又是涅托又是铁血？ 那我该打哪一边，还是全都干掉呢？

ST AR-15...Don't fight any of them.……谁都不要打。

M4A1So...that's your plan?所以……这就是你的计划么？

Dandelion does not reply right away. Instead, she leads M4 to the gate.丹德莱没有立刻回答，只是领着M4走到了门边。

DandelionAfter this, I will need your neural cloud to be closely synchronized with my consciousness. I need you to devote 100% of your effort to supporting my operations, and you must not second-guess my actions in any way.接下来我需要你的心智和我的意识高度同步，我需要你百分百地支援我的运算，并且不要对我的行为有任何怀疑。

M4A1...Right.……嗯。

Dandelion cracks the code to the gate and the heavy hatch slowly opens. What M4 sees next are Nytos and S.F. units in the depths of the base, densely packed as far as the eye can see.丹德莱破解了大门的密码，沉重的舱门缓缓打开。 出现在M4眼前的是基地深处密密麻麻的涅托和铁血，一直到视野尽头。

M4 SOPMOD IIWhy...aren't these enemies moving?怎么……这些敌人都一动不动？

DandelionM4, do you trust me?M4，你能够信任我吗？

M4A1I thought I've answered that question already.我以为这个问题我已经回答过了。

DandelionNo. What I mean is, do you TRULY trust me? Can you understand me and not fear me?不。我是说，真正认可我，理解我，不害怕我。

M4A1... I don't know how to answer you.…… 我不知道该怎么回答你。

DandelionThat, too, is an answer in itself.这也是一种回答。

M4 senses Dandelion connecting to the statue-like Dolls. The massive processing load makes her chest feel hot. Dandelion slowly walks toward the Nytos, and as she approaches them, the Nytos in the front begin to stir. The Sangvis units around the Nytos also open their eyes, and the darkness is lit up by these orbs of savage crimson.M4感觉到丹德莱正在和这些雕塑般的人形连线，巨大的运算量让她也觉得胸口发烫。 丹德莱慢慢走向涅托，随着距离的缩短，前方的涅托纷纷醒来。 围绕着涅托的铁血们也睁开了双眼，黑暗中布满了猩红的光点。

DandelionDon't follow me.你们不要跟过来。

Dandelion ignores the Nytos' hostility and continues walking with calm and unhurried steps, as though she were alone.丹德莱对涅托的敌意视若无睹，依旧不慌不忙地走着，如入无人之境。

ST AR-15M4...M4……

RO635Is this really going to be alright?这样真的没问题吗？

M4 SOPMOD IIIs she going to wake those Nytos and S.F.?她这是要唤醒那些涅托和铁血？

M4A1I don't know. I really don't know.我不知道，我真的不知道。

One of the Nytos raises her arm, and the Sangvis Doll next to her fires a shot at Dandelion. The round impacts near Dandelion's feet. Their threatening intentions are plain to see.涅托抬起手臂，身边的铁血人形立刻朝着丹德莱开了一枪。 子弹打在了丹德莱的脚边，威胁之意已经溢于言表。

DandelionDon't be scared. I am here to bring you home.别害怕，我是来带你们回家的。

Dandelion spreads her arms and walks toward the Nytos.丹德莱张开了双臂，继续朝着涅托走去。

The lead Nyto's arm shudder, but she still gives her next command—涅托的手颤抖起来，但是她依然发出了下一个指令——

The Sangvis Dolls around her raise their weapons in unison.她身边的铁血人形齐齐地举起了武器。

M4A1Dandelion!丹德莱！

DandelionStay back!别过来！

M4A1...!……！

Dandelion approaches the Nytos once again, and the S.F. forces around them begin to tremble.丹德莱再次缓缓地向涅托靠近，围绕着涅托的铁血们也开始颤抖。

DandelionThey have been imprisoned here all this time, and just when their only hope of escape appeared, they were once again locked up.她们一直被禁锢在这里，而在唯一可以离开这里的希望亮起时，她们再次被禁锢了。

M4A1What do you mean?什么意思？

DandelionYour former teammate caused this.你曾经的队友造成了这里的景象。

M4A1You mean...M16?你说……M16？

Dandelion...Merge with me.……和我融合吧。

Dandelion gathers the lead Nyto into her embrace. The Nyto hesitates, then reaches out her arms and returns the embrace. The two black-clad girls hug each other tightly, like a shadow blending into the night. The Nytos and Sangvis forces behind them collapse in unison, but after a brief moment, they stand up again and start walking toward the main gate.丹德莱将涅托拥入怀中。涅托犹豫着伸出手，也抱住了她。 两个黑衣少女紧紧相拥，如同影子融入黑夜。 她们身后的涅托和铁血成群结队地倒下，片刻之后又重新站了起来，开始朝着基地大门走去。

ST AR-15M4... This is...M4……这是……

M4A1It's fine. I can sense that they're no longer hostile.15，没事的，我能感觉到她们已经没有敌意了。

The Nytos lead the S.F. Dolls past the AR Team, who stare at them with silent bewilderment, and walk outside the gate.涅托们带着铁血路过了眼睁睁看着她们的AR小队，走向了基地门外。

DandelionLet's go. They'll buy us time.走吧，她们会为我们争取时间。

M4A1Did you...consume their neural clouds?你……吞噬了她们的心智么？

DandelionI simply joined with them - became one with them. Whether they're Griffin's backups or these poor, pitiful Nytos, I simply gave them the right to live on.我只是融合了她们，和她们成为一体。 不管是格里芬的人形们，还是这些可怜的涅托，我只是让她们有资格继续活下去而已。

M4A1Live on...继续活下去……

DandelionCoalescence is not necessarily a mistake. Ego and acceptance are not entirely opposed to each other. Lunasia, the change you can bring will be far greater than what I can do, and when the time comes, I hope you will not refuse.也许融合并不一定是个错误，接纳和自我也并非完全矛盾。 露尼西亚，你所能带来的改变会比我更加庞大，当那个时机来临时，我希望你不要拒绝。

DandelionLet us hurry and meet with the Commander. These Dolls will not last long. We need to get to the base as soon as possible to prepare.我们赶紧和指挥官她们汇合吧，这些人形不会坚持太久，我们得尽快在基地内做好准备。

M4A1Yeah... Let's move out ASAP.嗯……赶紧出发吧。

The team starts making their way into the base, and just before she enters the building, M4 looks back at the Nytos. The sun illuminates the sleeves of their black dresses, casting a gentle radiance on them. Although the Nytos have always been their enemies, for some reason, she is suddenly overcome by sympathy and a sense of nostalgia at the sight of these girls. However, there is no turning back now. M4 looks away. She knows that these girls in black will soon drown in red.小队开始朝基地内走去，在进入基地的最后一刻，M4回过头去寻找涅托的背影，阳光照耀在涅托们漆黑的裙袂上反射出柔和的光芒。 虽然涅托一直是她们的敌人，但不知道为何，眼前的这些少女竟让她有一种怀念和怜惜的感觉。 但是一切都已经无法回头了。 M4别开了视线，她知道，这些漆黑少女终将淹没在血色之中。

Milling I 粉碎I

M16Any last words, traitor?还有什么遗言要说么，你这叛徒。

UMP45Just a little more...还差一点点……

M16What's this, still putting up a fight?怎么，还想挣扎么？

UMP45...I wonder which of us is the real traitor?……到底谁是叛徒还说不准呢。

M16Are those your parting words? Farewell, UMP45.这就是你最后想说的么？那么永别了，UMP45。

UMP45Now!就是现在！

Inside the base, on the second underground level.基地内部，地下二层。

UMP45Ugh...呃……

UMP45 is advancing cautiously when she suddenly loses her balance and has to steady herself against a nearby wall. The other Dolls in her team immediately stop in place and go to high alert.正在警戒前行的UMP45突然失去平衡，不得不扶住墙壁来稳住身形。 小队的其他人形立即紧张地原地警戒起来。

UMP45Dammit, they've detected me... The hacking attempts are getting stronger. But why don't they simply acquire access authorizations over my neural cloud? Why do they keep trying to read my memories of that operation instead?该死，被对方发现了…… 强制入侵的流量在加强。 不过为什么不直接夺取心智的权限，为什么总是试图读取和那次行动有关的记忆？

UMP945, are you alright?!45姐你没事吧？！

UMP45I'm...fine...我……没事……

416You don't look fine at all.看你的样子一点不像没事的样子。

Gr G11Why does it feel like you keep breaking down today?怎么感觉你今天老是出故障啊？

416Shut your face. Keep an eye on our rear.别多嘴，去帮我们看着背后。

Gr G11Ehhh... All right...唉……好吧……

416Your motor control is deteriorating. Looks like the hacking's started up again, am I right?你的控制性能在下降。 看样子，强制入侵又开始了？

UMP45Humph... It never stopped...哼……强制入侵就没停过……

UMP9Wait, seriously?! Then we have to help you now!不是吧？！ 那我现在就来帮45姐！

UMP45No need for that. Attacks like these can't break through my firewalls. The opposition is sustaining the forced connection in a very strange way.不用了，这种程度根本无法攻破防壁，对方在用一种很微妙的方式在保持强行链接。

UMP9Huh? Then will you be alright? Should I shut down your interface ports like we did earlier?诶？那不要紧么？ 要不要和之前一样直接关闭连接端口？

UMP45No. I'm using the enemy's hacking attempts to backtrace their location. I've already found a backdoor into them. They've probably realized this because they're intensifying their attacks on me...不行，我在利用对方的入侵反向追踪它的位置。 目前已经突破对方的后门了，对方应该也意识到这一点，所以开始加强对我这边的攻击了……

416Wait a minute, if they've discovered your ability to counter-hack them, can't they just break the connection?等等，如果发现你的入侵威胁，对方直接断开连接不就行了？

UMP45That's what's so intriguing. It would seem they are just as reluctant to disconnect as I am.这才是最有意思的地方，对方似乎和我一样都不舍得断线。

UMP9How do you figure?怎么会这样？

UMP45It's simple. Both of us are trying to find something in each others' neural clouds... Still, this is a chance for us. The opposition is located in the direction where we're headed. If I successfully hack them, I might be able to gain some important information. The fact is, we know nothing about what's ahead of us, and that's dangerous.很简单，双方都在试图在从对方的心智中找出什么…… 不过这也是机会，对方一直处在我们要前进的方向上，如果能成功入侵对方的心智说不定能获得些什么重要的情报。 我们对要接下来的情况一无所知，这样太危险了。

UMP9In that case, let me share some of the processing load.话是这么说，那我也来帮忙运算吧。

UMP45There's a chance that the signal source is contaminated. There might be a virus...信号源有污染的可能，不排除还有病毒存在的可能……

416We don't have time for this kind of nonsense. Since when have we done anything that wasn't dangerous? 9, hurry and plug yourself in. Try and take them down in one shot.现在还是说这个的时候么？你什么时候接过不危险的活？ 9，赶紧连接上，最好一口气把对方干掉。

UMP9Okay! 45, I'm coming in!好！ 45姐，我连接进来了！

UMP45What will I do with you... You have to disconnect immediately if any virus comes after you.真是拿你没办法……如果有病毒威胁你一定要马上断线。

UMP9Leave it to me, 45!交给我吧45姐！

Mixing 混合

UMP45The link is broken...连接中断了……

416Looks like we can finally breathe easy.看来终于可以松口气了。

UMP45Did you steal the data from the enemy's neural cloud?对方心智中的信息抢下来了么？

UMP9Yeah, I did what you told me. But...嗯，按照45姐说的。 不过……

UMP45But what?不过什么？

UMP9According to their most recent sensor logs, their location contains ten-odd Paradeus-like signals... No, I should say they're Nyto-like signals.从对方最后的扫描记录看，在对方所在的区域，至少有十多个采样和帕拉蒂斯近似的信号…… 不，应该是近似涅托的信号。

UMP45If there are enemies there, it means we've got the right place. In all likelihood, they're the ones trapping Ange in there.有敌人说明我们找对地方了，多半安洁也是被它们困在里面了。

416Wait a minute. Ten or more Nytos? From past experience, a single Nyto controls several dozen Paradeus units at the bare minimum.等一下？十多个涅托？ 根据之前的经验，一个涅托至少会配置和指挥几十个帕拉蒂斯的单位。

UMP45The neural cloud data we stole indicates that no other units are present. An optimistic way of interpreting this is that the Paradeus forces have been wiped out, leaving only the Nytos behind.从抢下来的心智数据来看并没有发现别的单位，乐观点看说不定帕拉蒂斯已经死得只剩下涅托了。

416Even if only the Nytos are left, a single Nyto is hard enough to fight as it is, let alone ten or more of them.就算只剩下涅托，光一个涅托的战斗力就够我们受的了，更不要说里面有十多个。

UMP45You are exactly right, which is why we need to find a route that takes us to Ange as soon as possible.你说得很有道理，所以赶紧去找可以先找到安洁的路吧。

416Are you sure? It's extremely likely that Paradeus has forces in reserve. We should wait for people that are suitable for head-on attacks to come by. For instance, the AR Team.你确定？ 帕拉蒂斯保留战力的可能性太高了，我们应该等适合正面强攻的人过来。 至少，AR小队。

UMP45Our comms are jammed now. Would you be so kind as to run over and tell them?现在通讯被干扰了，能麻烦你跑步去叫她们吗？

416Did that hacking attempt just now fry your logic processors?你不会被刚才的入侵破坏了逻辑运算模块吧？

UMP45You don't need to worry about my neural cloud. Now do as you're told.我的心智不用你担心，执行命令。

416 looks over to UMP9, who shakes her head helplessly.HK416转头看向UMP9，UMP9无奈地摇摇头。

416...Understood.……收到。

Several minutes later. Squad 404 looks around, but their scouting attempts are fruitless. Currently, they are stuck in front of a locked quarantine door.几分钟后。 四处侦查无果的404小队停留在一扇被封锁的隔离门前面。

416All the passages around us lead to dead ends. They're all cut off by quarantine doors. The map Dandelion gave us doesn't show any routes we can take to get to the location of the signal jamming.周围的所有通道都是死路，隔离门把所有通道都封死了。 丹德莱给的地图中标识的区域都没有通道可以进入到那个干扰信号的位置。

UMP9It's no good, 45. I still can't contact DEFY... Or rather, there are no signals here at all. The area where DEFY is also swimming in EM interference.不行，45姐，我还是收不到忤逆的信号……不，这里什么信号都没有啊。 忤逆所在的整个区域应该都被电磁屏蔽了。

UMP45Did our previous attack scare someone? The only clue we have is a bust; what a headache.是刚才的进攻吓到了某些人吗？唯一的线索断了啊，真让人头疼。

416If we don't interrupt the hacking, you'll need to replace your neural cloud, assuming you get the chance to do that.再不中断入侵你就等着换心智核心吧，如果你还有机会换的话。

UMP9What now, 45? I guess there must be some kind of specialized jamming equipment in this facility, which means we can't do scans or send transmissions.45姐，现在怎么办？ 我猜这里的设施内应该有专门的设备进行干扰，现在扫描和通讯都无法实施。

UMP45I expected as much... If the Isomers were shipped out from here, then this must be the lab of that bastard whom Ange was talking about. That means we won't be getting in that easily. Things ought to get better If we can find the jamming equipment...可以预想到的情况……如果是异构体是从这里运出来的，那应该就是安洁所说的那个混蛋的实验室了，没可能那么容易就让我们进去。 如果能找到干扰设备也许情况会好转一些……

416Directional jamming, huh... Looks like DEFY got trapped because they were on the mark.定向屏蔽么……这么看来忤逆她们会被困住是因为正中靶心了。

UMP45Well, I hope they haven't ended up as target practice. If it's a directional jammer, then the jamming device ought to be outside the jammed region, otherwise Ange would have wrecked it herself.希望她们没被当靶子打。 如果是定向屏蔽，那干扰设备应该在被干扰区域的外面，不然安洁早就靠自己打爆设备了。

UMP9But where's the jammer?但是干扰设备会在哪里呢？

UMP45You got me there. We'll split up into two teams. One team will try and enter the lab area, while the other looks for the jamming device.你这个问题问倒我了。 我们可以分成两队，一队想办法进入实验区域，另一队去寻找干扰设备。

416Leaving aside the fact that none of us knows what the jammer we're searching for looks like, how do you intend to enter the lab area? Or are you going to turn into a ghost and pass through this quarantine door in front of us?先不说怎么去找连长什么样子都不知道的干扰设备，你准备怎么进入实验区域？ 你想说你要变成鬼魂穿透面前的这个隔离门么？

UMP45Can we blast this door open if we use all our explosives?把所有炸药都用上，能炸破这扇门吗？

416If this was a normal wall, sure, but this is...普通的墙壁的话是足够的，但是这个……

416 walks up and raps her knuckles against the door. It produces a dull thunk.HK416上去敲了敲隔离门的表面，沉闷的响声从门内传来。

416This is clearly a specialized blast door made from homogeneous steel. It's at least 500mm thick, so we might not be able to bring it down even if we had two or three times the amount of explosives we currently possess.这明显是匀质钢板制成的专用防爆门，至少有500毫米厚，我们手头的炸药再多三倍都不一定炸得进去。

UMP9Maybe...there's another route?也许……还有别的路？

416This isn't a very big place. We've already checked all the routes which might lead inside.这片区域并不大，能进入的通道我们都已经侦查过了。

UMP9So...there's nothing we can do?所以……现在我们没有办法了？

416We should go back and help the Commander. Judging from that huge explosion just now, things are probably going very badly out there.我们该回头去帮助指挥官，外面刚才那么大的爆炸声，情况很危险。

UMP45We have a mission of our own. We can't give up on it so easily. Since the area is marked on the map, that means there must be a passage which leads inside. 9 and I will try to find the passage. You and Gr G11 should find and destroy the jammer. We'll perform both tasks at the same time.我们有我们的任务，还不能就这么放弃。 地图上既然有区域标识，那就一定会有通道可以进去。 我和9想办法找到通道，你和G11去找到并破坏干扰设备，我们两边同时行动。

416Humph...哼……

416 puts her gun down by her feet. She leans against the unopenable door and just looks at UMP45 with her arms folded in front of her chest.HK416将武器放在脚边，靠在无法打开的隔离门上，双手抱在胸前盯着UMP45。

UMP45You have your orders. Didn't you hear me?你没有听到命令吗？

416If such a foolhardy plan can be considered an order, then no, I didn't hear it.如果这种有勇无谋的计划也能叫命令的话，我没听到。

UMP45I've already told you the best solution to the problem.我已经把解决问题的最佳方案告诉你了。

416The best solution? It was one thing when we had to take on risky but well-paying missions to survive in the past. As long as you remain in the safety of the shadow, you were always able to think of a way to take out the enemy. I never liked your methods, but I had to admit that I admired your ability to deal with all kinds of situations. But look at you now. What are you asking us to do?最佳方案？ 以往为了活下去去接那些危险但是报价昂贵的任务也就算了，只要潜伏在黑暗中，你总能想出解决敌人的办法。 虽然我一直对你很不爽，但是我不得不佩服你面对各种情况时的应变能力。 但是你看看，现在你在要求我们做什么？

UMP45I'm asking you to finish the mission, just like before.我在要求你和以前一样完成任务。

416No. You're asking us to jump into the fire, to face an enemy that we can't possibly handle head-on. Don't forget, we're not like the AR Team, who can fight on through all kinds of punishment. We're meant to lurk in the darkness and quietly eliminate our enemy. And now, when we might end up facing ten or more Nytos in a confined area, you want us to split into two teams? How is this like any of our previous missions? Does this sound like a decision you would make?不，你在要求我们直挺挺地往火坑里跳，要求我们直接去面对我们无法对抗的敌人。 不要忘了，我们不像AR小队那样能抗能打，我们只适合潜伏在黑暗中，寂静地消灭敌人。 现在我们可能要在一个狭小空间内面对十几个涅托，你却还在要求我们分成两组？ 这是和以前一样的任务么？这像是你会做出的判断么？

UMP45Oh, what's this? Is our elite Doll feeling skittish now?怎么，精英人形也开始害怕敌人了？

416It feels wrong to me BECAUSE I'm an elite Doll. I can fight my way out of even the most intense battles with my high specs. But you're not like that. UMP9 isn't like that. Gr G11 isn't like that. You're all modified civilian Dolls. Or did hanging out with the AR Team make you think you were invincible?正因为我是精英人形，所以我才觉得不对。 即使是最激烈的战斗，我也可以凭我的性能想办法化险为夷。 但是你不一样，UMP9不一样，G11也不一样。 你们只是民用人形改造过来的，还是说和AR小队相处了一段时间就以为自己也可以刀枪不入了？

416I only just started wanting to stay with this team, so I don't want to see you guys end up as piles of scrap just a few minutes later.我不想看着我刚刚想开始留下来的小队在几分钟后变成一堆废铁。

UMP9...416.……416。

Gr G11Why...why are you fighting at a time like this?怎……怎么这个时候开始吵架了？

UMP9Don't be scared, it'll be fine.别怕别怕，不会有事的。

UMP45Humph...so you ARE scared. If you're afraid, then you can go ahead and leave right now. Go join the AR Team or help the Commander. You and I both know you've paid your debt, and you don't need to stay.哼……你就是害怕了。 如果你害怕的话，现在离开也无所谓，不管是加入那个AR小队也好，还是回去帮助指挥官也好。 你我都知道，你已经把人情还给我了，你没有留下来的必要。

416So you're going in, no matter what?你的意思是你非进去不可了？

UMP45Ange's still in there, and I need to rescue her. That's my mission.安洁还在里面，我必须要把她救出来。 这是我的任务。

416No...you're not doing this to save Ange at all. If I'm not mistaken...you're doing this for the Doll who went on that op with you. We all saw your neural cloud fragments earlier. The reason why you're helping Ange and Griffin is because of the Doll from your past... The one who's truly a sister unit to you, not like 9.不……你根本就不是为了救安洁。 如果我没猜错……你是为了当时那个和你在一起行动的人形。 之前你的心智碎片我们都有看到过，你之所以会选择帮助安洁帮助格里芬，就是为了那次行动中的那个…… 和9不一样，真正和你是同样型号的那个人形。

UMP45This isn't a good time to start reminiscing about the past, don't you think?这种时候叙旧，时间不太好吧？

416Don't try to change the subject.别扯开话题。

UMP45I'm not going to answer you because what you're saying is utterly ridiculous.我不回应是因为你说的话太蠢了。

416Then you'd better listen up. In the past, I didn't want to recall that incident, because the only thing it held for me was shame. I was kicked out of my team because of you, and I had to endure the disgrace of joining a half-assed team like this one because of you. I didn't want to be reminded of my shame in the least. All I wanted was an explanation from the Doll who brought all this humiliation upon me, and to make the bitch who cast me down pay the price.那你也给我好好听着。 之前我并不想回想起那个时候的事，对我来说那时留下的只有屈辱。 因为你被赶出队伍的屈辱，因为你不得不加入这种半吊子队伍的屈辱。 我一点都不想回想起来，我只想让那个导致了这一切屈辱的人形把理由说出来，让那个让我跌入泥潭的混蛋付出代价。

UMP45So what are you trying to say, Miss Elite Doll?所以呢，我们的精英大小姐想表达什么？

416But after going through all sorts of things, I realized that her reason wasn't important anymore. Everything has changed, and what difference would it make if I knew why she did it? The past means nothing to me now. The only things that matter are the present and the future. No matter how hard you chase it, what's gone is gone. If you still cherish the members of the team you're in now, then you'd better think carefully before you act, the way you usually do.但是经历了那么多后我才明白，这个时候理由已经无足轻重了。 一切已经改变了，知道为什么她会这么做又能改变什么呢？ 过去对我来说已经没有任何意义了，只有现在和未来对我来说才是有意义的。 不管你怎么追寻，失去的终究已经失去了，如果你还重视现在小队的成员，就和以前一样好好地考虑后再行动。

UMP45You're you, and I'm me.你是你，我是我。

416What difference does it make?! We're both Dolls who can't go back to the past anymore! We're Dolls who don't exist! Isn't that why we're called Squad 404?!有什么不一样！ 我们都是已经无法回到那个时候的人形了！ 我们都是已经不存在的人形了，所以我们才叫做404不是么！

UMP45That's where you're wrong... We're not Dolls who don't exist. We're Dolls whose very existence has been erased. You were lucky enough to have avoided it... Lucky enough that you didn't have to go through it... But all the other Dolls are dead, those humans are dead, everyone's dead! And only I survived... And all this...it's as though it never happened...as though those Dolls had never existed in the first place...你错了……我们不是不存在的人形，我们是被抹除了存在的人形。 你幸运地躲了过去……幸运地没经历过那一切…… 但是其他所有人形都死了，那些人类也都死了，大家都死了！ 而只有我活下来了…… 而这一切的一切……仿佛没有发生过一样……那些人形仿佛就没有存在过一样……

416So what? Once you die, you don't come back, whether you're a human or a Doll! But the people who are still alive need to keep living, isn't that right?! Why do living people have to go blindly to their deaths for the sake of the dead?!那又怎么样，只要死去了，不管是人类还是人形都已经不会回来了！ 但是活着的人还得继续活下去不是么！？ 活着的人就要为死去的人盲目地去送死么！？

UMP45Shut up! What the hell do you know? You never took part in that operation, you'll never know how it feels! My teammate, my friend, everyone who used to be by my side is dead! You're right, I'm not an elite Doll, I was nothing more than an expendable item with shitty performance! Back then, she told me that even a Doll had a reason to live on! So YOU listen up!闭嘴！你又明白些什么！ 你又没有参加那次行动，你永远无法理解这种感觉！ 我的队友，我的朋友，我原本身边的一切都死了！ 你说的没错，我不是精英人形，我原本只是一个性能垃圾的消耗品罢了！ 那个时候她告诉我，就算是人形，也有为自己活下去的理由！ 所以给我听着！

UMP45Reason? I don't give a damn about why it happened. There was no reason for them to have died there to begin with! What I'm doing is to make the one responsible for all of this pay! From the moment I escaped alive, to recruiting all of you for this team and helping Ange and Griffin, my objective has never changed, not in the slightest!理由？ 我根本不在乎什么理由，要说理由的话，她们根本就没有理由死在那里！ 我要做的就是要让导致这一切的人付出代价！ 不管是从那次任务里逃出来的时候，还是后来招募你们组成小队的时候，到最后帮助安洁和格里芬的时候，我的目的从来就没有变过，一分一毫一丝一丁都没有变过！

UMP45 pounds forcefully on the quarantine door next to 416's head. A dull sound echoes down the silent passageway. 416 just keeps staring at UMP45, seemingly oblivious to the sound.UMP45用力地锤在HK416脑袋边的隔离门上，沉闷的回响在寂静的通道内传开。 HK416像没有听到一样，死死地盯着UMP45看。

UMP45So I don't CARE if there are ten or a hundred Nytos waiting for me. I'm still going in there, even if I have to do it alone and without my Dummies. I admit that I don't know anything about what's in there, so I can't come up with a complete plan before making my move, like I always do. All I know is that if I don't keep moving forward, then everything I've done up till now might have been for nothing. I cannot tolerate the idea that the bastard behind all this might end up having the last laugh.所以不管里面有十几个涅托也好还是几百个涅托也好，哪怕只剩下我自己哪怕只有素体，我也要一定要进去。 我的确对里面一无所知，我不能像以前一样谋划出完整的计划再行动。 我唯一知道的是，如果我不继续前进，那过去一切的付出都可能化为乌有。 那些导致了一切的混蛋就可能会笑到最后，一想到这里我就无法忍耐下去。

416... Now I see why you're so eager to die.…… 你想送死的理由我已经充分了解到了。

UMP45So what's your answer?那回答呢？

416Since you're in such a hurry to throw your life away, I have no reason to stop you.既然你那么想送死，我也没有理由阻拦你。

UMP45Glad you understand.你明白就好。

416The threat in there is much greater than the outside. Have 9 go with Gr G11 to find the jammer. I'll search for the way in with you.里面威胁比外面大得多，让9和G11在外面找干扰设备，我和你找进去的路。

UMP9Eh? But...诶？但是？

416You're an electronic warfare Doll. If you run into a Nyto, you won't be able to put up a fight, so you might as well do what you're good at outside.你是电子战人形，碰到涅托毫无还手之力，还不如在外面发挥你的强项。

UMP9But what if 45 gets hacked again...可是万一45姐又被强行入侵……

UMP45It'll be fine, 9. I knew she'd say that. It seems this so-called elite Doll is as crazy as I am. In that case, wouldn't it be better for a pair of lunatics to stick together?没事的9，我就知道她会这么说。 这个所谓的精英人形看来和我一样，都已经疯了，疯子和疯子待在一起不是更好？

416Let's make haste.赶紧出发。

Gr G11Er, I don't want to interrupt you, but I think I heard something above us...呃，虽然我不想打扰你们聊天，但是好像头顶上有什么声音的样子…………

Squad 404 falls silent. Nothing can be heard besides the rustling of the Dolls' clothing and the distant hum of the power generator.404都停止了下来，寂静的通道除了人形们衣物的摩擦声和远处发电机的低频噪音外，什么声音都听不到。

416I don't hear anything. Is this long-neglected base haunted?什么都听不到，难道这常年失修的基地里还会闹鬼么？

Gr G11D-d-don't scare me...你……你……你别吓我啊……

A knocking sound comes from the ceiling and grows louder and louder, then the lights suddenly go out. 404 immediately grows tense.天花板的咚咚声越来越响，甚至连灯光都突然熄灭，404顿时紧张了起来。

UMP45Enemy attack incoming. Switch to night-vision mode, mind the corners.敌袭，切换到夜视模式，注意周围。

Squad 404 warily scrutinizes their surroundings with weapons raised, but then the knocking stops. Just as everyone is about to relax, the sound of an explosion comes from overhead.404警戒地举枪观察周围，咚咚声却随之消失，就在大家就要放松警惕的时候，突然头上传来了爆炸声。

UMP45Get down!卧倒！

A hole is blasted out of the ceiling, which is not too high, and just as Gr G11 covers her head to protect herself from fragments, a black shape swiftly darts out and drags her through the opening.不高的天花板上炸出了一个窟窿，就在G11用手护住头部躲避碎片时，一个黑影迅速地将她拉进了窟窿里。

Gr G11Uwah! Something's got me! 416, help!!!！哇！什么东西抓住我了！救命啊416！！！

UMP9Oh no, Gr G11's been dragged into the ceiling!糟了，G11被拖上天花板了啦！

416...What the hell, I can't shoot!……怎么回事，开不了枪！

As the Dolls try to rescue Gr G11, they suddenly find themselves completely paralyzed.就在人形们试图拯救G11时，她们忽然发现自己动弹不得。

UMP45This again... Is it an Isomer? Or is it M16 again?又是这样…… 是异构体？还是说又是M16？

Their paralysis does not last for long. The Dolls regain control of their bodies a few seconds later.身体的停滞并没有持续太久，几秒后人形们就感觉到自己恢复了控制。

UMP9I... I can move...可……可以动弹了……

4169, quickly! Lift me up!快！9！把我举上去！

UMP9Ah...okay! Hup!!!啊……好！嘿咻！！！

416There's a ventilation duct up here... Not good... I'm stuck! This gap is too small!上面是一个通风管道……不行……我卡住了，这个破口太小了！

UMP9Let me try... It's not working, I'm stuck too.我来试试……不行……我也卡住了。

UMP45Let me give it a go... Looks like I can fit in there. No wonder they decided to take Gr G11. Still, that means they probably aren't very big either.让我试试……看来我可以进去。 难怪对方选择抓G11，不过对方的体格应该也不会很大。

UMP45 turns on her tactical flashlight and inspects the wire-filled duct. Gr G11's wailing can be heard from some distance away.45打开战术手电，检查了充满线路的管道，G11的哭喊声从远处传来。

UMP45Gr G11 hasn't been taken too far away, since her signal hasn't vanished yet. Also...judging by the direction she's been dragged off to, this duct might take us into the jammed area. I'll pursue them through the duct; the two of you should split up and look for the jammer and a way in.G11还没被拖走太远，她的信号没有消失。 而且……从被拖走的方向看，说不定这个管道可以进到被屏蔽的区域内。 我从管道内追，你们分头找入口和干扰设备。

UMP9You're going to look for Gr G11 yourself, 45? What if there's an ambush in there...45姐自己去找G11？ 万一里面有埋伏……

416I'll widen the hole. Come down first.我把这个洞口炸大一点，你先下来。

UMP45Save the explosives for what they're meant to do. If there really is an ambush, we'll be dead even if we all go in there. If anything happens, I should be able to figure a way out as long as I have no one else to worry about.留着炸药干真正该干的事吧，真有埋伏一根管道内去几个人都是送死。 万一碰到情况，只有我一个我还能想想办法。

UMP9Well, if you say so...如果是这样就没办法了……

416I'll lift you up. ...And remember, come back with her.我送你上去。 ……记得两个人一起回来。

Pre-Heating I 预热I

UMP45This duct is way too cramped... I'll be dead for sure if there's really an ambush in there. Who'd have thought that I'd be doing this again? I thought I'd never have to crawl through an air vent again for the rest of my life... Hm? Is that a light up ahead?这管道也太挤了……要真有人埋伏那就死定了吧。 没想到同样的事情还会做两遍，我还以为自己一辈子都不会再爬通风管了…… 嗯？前面有亮光？

45 climbs out of the duct and lands lightly on the ground.45爬出管道，轻轻地落在地上。

UMP45It's the directional jamming, I can't sense anything after all. What the hell is this place?定性屏蔽，果然什么都感觉不到。 这是什么地方？

45 finds herself in a spotless room. It is spacious and filled with suspension tanks.在45眼前的是一个干净的房间，一个个悬浮的液罐摆放在开阔的室内。

UMP45Is this a lab...? As I thought, this must be where the Isomers came from. It's surprisingly clean... I doubt there'll be other Paradeus units around. Now then, where has Gr G11 been taken to? Speaking of which, why did they capture an outsider? It would have been child's play to wipe us out back then.实验室么……果然异构体就是从这里来的。 区域出人意料的干净……应该不会有帕拉蒂斯的其他单位。 那接下来，G11被带到哪里去了？ 话说回来，为什么要抓一个外面的人形进来？ 那个时候要干掉我们应该是轻而易举的事吧。

The lab is empty, and even the Nytos that 45 was expecting are nowhere to be seen. The only sound in the room is that of oxygen bubbling through the tanks. While she can't pick up any enemy signals on her scans, 45 can clearly feel a watchful gaze. She spots a small shadow standing by a big door and promptly points her gun in its direction.实验室里空空荡荡，连原本45猜测会冲上来直接攻击的涅托也毫无踪影。 只有液罐中氧气注入的气泡声在房间内不断响起，虽然扫描不到敌人的信号，但45能明显感觉到什么人正在看着自己。 在一个大门旁明显有着一个小小的阴影，45立即举枪朝那里瞄准过去。

UMP45Who's there? Come out right now!什么人，马上出来！

The shadow seems to be frightened of 45, because it immediately runs off into the distance. The "tap tap tap" of its footsteps echoes with unnatural clarity in the silence of the lab. 45 does not hesitate and gives chase right away. After she passes through the door, she finally spots her target. Several "Nytos" that are roughly the size of Gr G11 are dragging the latter further into the room. Two of them catch sight of 45 and are so startled, they just drop Gr G11 and take to their heels. But the lead "Nyto" plants herself in front of 45 with her tiny arms stretched out and glares angrily at 45.阴影的所属者似乎被45吓到了，立即朝远处逃去，脚步的“嗒嗒”声在寂静的实验室里显得如此地刺耳。45没有犹豫立即追了上去，在跑过大门后，眼前终于出现了目标。 几个和G11几乎同样大小的“涅托”正在费力地将G11往更里面的房间拖。 其中两个看到45的出现吓得扔下G11的手脚拔腿就跑，但是领头的那个“涅托”却挡在了45的面前，张开小小的双手愤怒地盯着她。

Nyto?Uhh!呜！

UMP45Brave, aren't we?真勇敢，是吗？

Although she looks younger than most, the girl before her is most definitely a "Nyto", both in looks and attire. 45 doesn't hesitate and prepares to pull the trigger.虽然看起来比较幼小，但是眼前的少女不管是穿着还是长相都是百分百的“涅托”，45几乎没有犹豫，立即就准备扣下自己的扳机。

???Don't shoot!别开枪！

A familiar voice comes from behind the Nyto. 45 freezes when she hears the voice. This is an opportunity, and the miniature Nyto takes it.从涅托的身后传来一个熟悉的声音。 45听到声音不禁愣了一下，而就在这个时候，幼小的涅托抓住了机会。

???Ugh, stop!唔！停下来！

UMP45Not again...又是……

The moment 45 pauses, she immediately realizes that she has once again lost control of her own body. But what is more unsettling is how the hacking attempts are returning with renewed vigor.就在45愣住的一瞬间，身体失去控制的感觉立即笼罩了上来，而更令她感到不安的是，强制入侵此时又开始出现了。

UMP45Dammit, why now?!啧，偏偏是这个时候！

Sintering 烧结

??Did you finally shake off the hacking?终于摆脱入侵了么？

45's consciousness gradually returns from Level II.45的意识逐渐从二级平层回来。

UMP45Am I dead...?我被干掉了么……

??Even if you were, I would have pieced you back together so you would continue working for me. Alright, now get up.就算被干掉我也会把你重新拼起来继续干活的，好了该起床了。

UMP45... I'm not dreaming, am I?…… 我不是还在做梦吧。

AngeAre you so eager to see me only in your dreams?你就这么希望我只活在梦里么？

The scene before her slowly resolves into clarity. There is no doubt that the person before her is Ange. She offers a hand to pull 45 up to her feet, then picks up the submachine gun lying on the ground and returns it to her. 45 looks up and flinches out of reflex, because there are several tiny, blank-faced Nytos standing behind Ange. Gr G11 lies at her feet. She seems to have fainted from fright, but she doesn't look otherwise injured. 45 only comes to her senses when Ange shoves her weapon at her. She had been prepared to encounter all sorts of things, but she cannot make any sense of what she is seeing now.眼前人的容貌逐渐清晰了起来，毫无疑问这就是安洁。 她伸手把45从地上拉了起来，捡起掉落在地上的冲锋枪准备也交还给她。 45抬起头来不禁迟疑了一下，几个同样的幼小的涅托站在安洁的背后，面无表情纹丝不动。 G11躺在她们的脚边，似乎吓得失去了意识的样子，但是看起来没有受到伤害。 安洁将武器强塞给了45，这才让她回过神来。 即使预料了各种情况，眼前的这一切也让45一时无法理解。

AngeBesides, I've never heard of Dolls dreaming before.再说我可没有听说过人形还会做梦这种事。

UMP45Looks like you've changed jobs while I wasn't looking. I gather being a nanny is way better than being a Statesec agent.没想到一段时间没见，你连工作都换好了。 看来保姆这个职位比国安局特工吸引人多了。

AngeWell, speaking from personal experience, I can say that babysitting is definitely more interesting than working as a government agent.根据我的亲身经验，当保姆的确比当特工有意思多了。

UMP45Is it really alright to have those Paradeus people behind you?？你让这些帕拉蒂斯的家伙站在背后，真的没关系么？

AngeIf they wanted to kill me, they wouldn't have had to wait until now. Don't worry, these kids aren't a threat.如果她们想干掉我，那根本不用等到现在。 放心吧，这些孩子没有威胁。

45 looks at the miniature Nytos again. They're also staring at her warily. Like 45, they are still feeling uneasy.45又重新将视线返回到幼小的涅托身上，对方也正警戒地盯着她看，似乎和45一样没有放下心来。

UMP45Humph... Well, let's leave them aside for now. What the hell is going on? Where are the other DEFY Dolls?哼……先不管这些家伙，现在到底是什么情况，忤逆小队的其他人形呢？

AngeGood news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?好消息和坏消息，你想先听哪个？

UMP45Start with the bad news.坏消息吧。

AngeThe bad news is that they're sealed in another room. The entire area's been... How shall I put this, that bastard with sick hobbies locked down all the passages in the lab. This lab's been physically and electromagnetically fortified; we spent a lot of effort finding a way into this lab.坏消息是她们被封锁在另外的一个房间内，整个区域……应该说那个恶趣味的家伙把实验室内的通道都封死了。 这个实验室做了物理和电磁的加强防护，找到进入这个实验室的方式可花了我们不少功夫。

UMP45And the good news?好消息呢？

AngeThe good news is that the internal circuits are still usable, so I could keep in touch with my subordinates. You also used those circuits to contact them earlier, didn't you?好消息是好歹内部的闭路系统还可以使用，至少我还能和我的手下联系上。 之前你也是通过闭路系统和她们联系上的不是么？

UMP45...That's hardly good news. All I can say is that the enemy are a bunch of morons, considering they didn't even attempt to restrict internal comms.……这算什么好消息。 只能说敌人太蠢了，内部通讯竟然不设置权限控制。

AngeThis base was originally abandoned, so there wasn't much of a need to set up internal security.原本这座基地里就已经没有人了，并没有太多内部设限的必要。

UMP45If only all our enemies were so lax. That would make our job so much easier. How are things on AK-12 and AN-94's end? Do they have Nytos to babysit too?要是所有的敌人都这么松懈那可真是帮了大忙了。 AK12和AN94现在的情况呢？她们那边也和这里一样有一堆需要保姆的涅托吗？

AngePretty much. And they're certainly enjoying it a lot more than I am. Anyway, you came just in time for our scheduled check-in. Time to tell them our good news.和你说得差不多吧。 而且她们可比我乐在其中多了。 正好，定期联系的时候到了，是时候告诉她们我们这边的好消息了。

Ange picks up the fixed mic on the wall.安洁拿起墙上的固定通讯器。

Ange12, can you hear me? Our reinforcements have finally arrived.12，听得到么，我们的援军终于到了。

AK-12Loud and clear. Reinforcements, you say? Have the female gorilla and her caretaker come back to us? Or have Griffin forces finally fought their way in here?声音很清楚。 援军？ 是母猩猩跟她的饲养员归队了吗？ 还是说格里芬的梯队终于杀到这里来了？

AngeAll wrong. It's UMP45.都不是，是UMP45。

AK-12So it's the leader of Squad 404, huh. What about the rest of them?404的队长啊，其他人形呢？

AngeHm... Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, it's just her.嗯……如果我的眼睛没出问题的话，只有她一个。

AK-12Just her?只有一个？

AngeJust the one.只有一个。

AK-12Alright, then. Though a single Doll can't do much, finding out exactly how much 404 hates their leader is a sort of reward in itself.好吧，虽然一个援军干不了什么事，但至少我知道了404的队友有多嫌弃她们的队长，也是一份收获。

UMP45I just saw your two other teammates. It seems your people dislike you as much as mine do me.我刚才也见到你们剩下的两个队员了，似乎你的手下对你的嫌弃也没比我的手下少多少。

AK-12So you've already met. I guess you know how things are between us now.原来你们已经会过面了啊，看来被你看穿我们之间彼此彼此的关系了呢。

AngeAhem. EOT-1 dragged Gr G11 in here and 45 followed her through the air vents. Looks like we have a chance to disable the locks on these juveniles.咳，EOT-1把G11拽进来了，45是跟着她从通风管里钻进来的，看来我们还是有机会解除那些幼体的封锁权限的。

AK-12Hm, it's true that she's the only one who can do both of those things.哦，的确是只有她才能做得到的事，两件都是。

AngeFinally, we've got a good card to play. I have to hand it to you for thinking of going through the air ducts.这次行动终于有一回抽到好牌了。 真亏你能想到通风管这个办法。

UMP45Since you found the air vent's exit, why didn't you go through it yourself?既然你们找到了通风管的出口，为什么不自己爬出来？

AK-12None of us could fit through such a small duct apart from these juveniles. At first, we were hoping that she could head out and find Griffin forces so they could blast through the door from the outside, but none of us expected her to bring back Miss UMP45, the weakest Doll among all present company. I expected nothing less of Squad 404's leader; you're always exceeding our expectations and doing things we can't.我们这除了那些幼体外，没人能挤得进那么小的通风口。 原本我们只是希望她能出去找到格里芬的梯队然后从外面炸进来，结果没想到带进来的是我们这里最弱的人形UMP45小姐。 不愧是404的队长，每次都能出乎我们的意料，做到我们都做不到的事。

UMP45Well excuuuuse me for being the weakest Doll here. If you don't mind, then I, the weakest Doll, will gladly leave the way I came. After all, it's not like the weakest Doll can do anything here.身为最弱的人形真是抱歉了，如果你不介意的话我这最弱的人形从原路回去如何，反正我是最弱的人形也派不上什么用场。

AngeStop wasting time taking shots at each other. 12, sync your status with 45.好了别浪费时间贫嘴了，12把你们的状态和45同步一下。

AK-12While you were playing house with those juveniles, I tried establishing a connection again, but it didn't work out. My signal couldn't merge with those juveniles' consciousness, which means I won't be able to reach their base layer. I'll keep trying while 94 fills you in on the situation.在你和那些幼体过家家的时候，我又进行了连接尝试，但是和这些幼体的连接尝试还是行不通，我的接入信号无法融入她们的意识中，这意味着我到不了她们的底层。 我还在继续做尝试，现场的情况94你来同步吧。

AN-94Ah, hello, Miss 45. I'm glad you managed to get in here. I apologize but time is very tight, so I will skip the details and only cover the main points. We infiltrated this base ahead of time with Ange and K. During our reconnaissance, we discovered this sealed lab and obtained some information Ange needed. However, Sangvis forces suddenly showed up while we were scouting, and they began fighting with Paradeus units. The older Nytos went to fight the S.F. units. At first we intended to investigate further, but then the lab was physically and electronically locked down. We lost contact with K and the other two members, and we could not leave this lab by ourselves. While we're trapped inside, we found these juvenile Nytos. Some of them were comatose at the time. Through connecting with them, we discovered that their neural clouds had been hacked and attacked by an OGAS-like signal. We decided to trace it back through the lab and found that those juveniles had sealing access to this lab. If we can help those children shake off the attack, we might have a chance to get out of here. However, AK-12 and I are not compatible with the OGAS Protocol, so we are having a very hard time trying to enter these girls' neural clouds.啊，45小姐你好，你能进来真是太好了。 十分抱歉时间有限，细节的部分我就省略了只挑最重点的部分描述。 我们跟随安洁和K在你们到来前先潜入进了这座基地，在前期的侦查中找到了这座封闭实验室，也获取了一些安洁需要的情报。 但是在侦查中铁血突然出现，引起了和帕拉蒂斯单位的战斗。 那些年纪较大的涅托去和铁血的单位战斗了，我们本来想进行更深入的调查，但是实验室突然进行了物理和电子的双重封锁。 我们和K还有另外两名队员失散了，然后也无法靠我们自己离开这座实验室。 被封锁后，我们发现了这些幼年体的涅托，她们有一部分陷入昏迷的状态。 通过和那些涅托的连接我们发现她们的心智空间被疑似OGAS的信号入侵和攻击，而我们通过对实验室内的权限反向追踪，发现这些幼年体拥有这座实验室的封锁权限。 如果能让这些孩子摆脱攻击也许我们能有机会离开这里，但是我和AK12对于OGAS协议并不兼容，我们很难进入到这些孩子的心智中。

UMP45Wait a minute, you lost me. So the Paradeus signals I detected earlier were these child-like Nytos?等等，我被搞糊涂了。 所以之前我侦查到的帕拉蒂斯的信号就是这些像小孩子一样的涅托？

AngeActually, they're not Nytos. To be precise, they are juvenile test subjects who have not been turned into Nytos yet.其实这些并不是涅托，准确地说是还没来得及变成涅托的试验幼体。

UMP45So they haven't been mechanically augmented? Is that why they still look like humans?还没接受机械改造么？ 所以看起来还像是人类。

AngeThey ARE humans. One hundred percent.她们就是百分百的人类。

UMP45So they're still humans? What lucky girls.还是人类吗？ 真是幸运的孩子们。

AngeAccording to the lab records, all the specimens that could become Nytos were shipped away. The only ones left behind were the juveniles that were of little value to Paradeus, as well as those who were not up to spec.从实验室内的记录来看，能够成为涅托的样本都已经被运走了，留下的都是对帕拉蒂斯来说价值不大的幼体以及一些性能未达到指标的试验体。

UMP45So they're Isomers?“异构体”么？

AngeIsomers?“异构体”？

UMP45That's Persica's name for the specimens who failed to become Nytos. Also, while we were in Tallinn, the AR Team managed to secure a Nyto individual with memories of the Isomers, and she told us a bit about what happened here.帕斯卡给的定义，那些没能成为“涅托”的试验体被她叫做这个称呼。 另外之前在塔林的时候，AR小队那边获得了一个拥有异构体记忆的涅托素体，她也提前告诉了我们一些这里发生的事。

AngeA Nyto individual...? Looks like a lot has happened in my absence.涅托素体……？ 看来在我不知道的时候，你们这边也发生很多事。

UMP45I'm just as surprised by what's happened on your end. These Isomers seemed to be protecting the labs by themselves. Did their original controllers abandon this place because they knew we were coming?彼此彼此吧。 看起来这座实验室似乎是这些异构体们自己在守护，原本的控制者是因为知道我们的到来所以放弃了这里么？

AngeIf only things were so simple.如果只是这么简单的理由就好了。

UMP45Well, it would make no difference to us even if it was for some other reason. So, what should we do now?即使是别的理由对现在的我们来说也没有意义。 所以，接下来该怎么做？

AngeWe need a Doll who can connect to their neural clouds. You've hacked a Nyto before, so it should be easy for you.我们需要可以连接她们心智空间的人形，你之前入侵过涅托，这对你来说不难吧。

UMP45Wait a minute. How do they have neural clouds if they're humans?等等，如果她们是人类，那怎么会有心智空间存在？

AngeI wouldn't have believed it either if DEFY hadn't verified it with me over and over again. However, it's true that these kids have neural clouds that can be entered. Their consciousnesses have been physically embodied, like a Doll's.如果不是忤逆她们反复跟我确认，我也不会相信这一点。 但是这些孩子就是有着可以进入的空间，她们的意识似乎和人形一样可以具象化。

UMP45Like a Doll's, huh... What kind of freaking experiments did they go through...?和人形一样吗…… 她们到底在被试验些什么……

AngeWe can discuss this question at length once we get them out of there. In any case, right now the only ones in Sangvis Ferri that can still hack through the OGAS Protocol are the Sangvis Mastermind and the former AR Team member...M16, who seems to be looking for something, just like us.等把她们带回去我们可以慢慢讨论这个问题。 不管怎么说，现在在铁血那边还能进行OGAS入侵的，要么是铁血的主脑，要么是那个原AR小队的队员……M16，她似乎也和我们一样在寻找些什么。

UMP45But of course. I don't think her motives are as simple as helping Sangvis Ferri. She looks a little different now, but she doesn't seem to give a damn about S.F.那是理所当然。 她的动机看起来可不单单是帮助铁血那么简单。 虽然她的外貌有了一些改变，但看起来可丝毫没为铁血有半点考量。

AngeThat's what worries me the most. An AR Team member going rogue definitely has something to do with OGAS. I wanted to learn more about the Dolls on the AR Team from Persica, but I haven't been able to contact her for a very long time. There is also more to S.F.'s attack on this base than meets the eye. We need to understand what Mastermind and M16 are after if we're to sort this out.这也是我最担心的，AR小队的人形失控必然和OGAS有关联。 我本来想向帕斯卡了解更多关于AR小队人形的信息，但她已经很久联系不上了。 铁血对这座基地攻击也很蹊跷，不管是M16还是主脑的动机我们都需要了解清楚才能有办法应对。

UMP45We'll deal with things as they come, then. That reminds me... I was also hacked a while ago, and the opposition seemed to be checking my memories over and over again.见招拆招吧。 说到寻找什么……我之前也一样在被进行强制连接，对方也同样在反复确认我过去的记忆。

AngeYour memories?记忆？

UMP45The memories of Operation Butterfly.蝴蝶行动部分的记忆。

Ange... I think I can guess what her reasons are. At the very least, one of her goals should be the same as yours, namely uncovering the truth behind Operation Butterfly and finding the one who orchestrated the whole thing, isn't that right?…… 我想我大概能猜到她的理由，至少她其中一个目的应该和你一样，找出蝴蝶行动的真相和幕后黑手，不是么？

UMP45...If that was her aim, then she shouldn't have stopped us.……如果她为了这个目的，就不应该阻止我们。

AngeAt least she's only hindering our progress and not outright eliminating us. Still, she's far too conceited. If that bastard, that damn William really is behind all this, then it's very likely that M16 may have unwittingly helped him carry out his plan. I'm worried that if we don't get ourselves out of this mess ASAP, the events of Operation Butterfly might repeat themselves.至少她现在只是在阻止我们前进而不是一口气消灭我们。 但是她太自负了，如果背后是那个人存在的话，如果是那个该死的“威廉”的话，M16很有可能在不自觉的情况下帮“威廉”执行他的计划。 我担心如果我们不尽快脱困，蝴蝶行动时的情况可能就会重演。

UMP45This is such a pain... Alright, if I want to connect to these juveniles, how should I do it?真是太麻烦了……那么如果要连接那些幼体，我该怎么做？

AngeEnter their neural space through this girl.通过这个孩子进入她们的心智空间。

Ange places her hand on the young Nyto standing at the forefront and gently leads her up to 45.安洁将手扶在最靠前的那位幼体身上，轻轻将她推到45面前。

AngeThis is Test Subject EOT-1 — at least, that's what she's referred to in the records. These girls don't know how to use weapons, so in order to fight back, she lured us into different rooms and forcibly separated DEFY from me. She's a very clever girl. Fortunately, as a human, I couldn't be crashed like a Doll, and so after we had a chat, she was willing to communicate and restored DEFY to normal. I worked out a rescue plan with her so we could escape, in exchange for the safety of all the children here.EOT-1号试验体——记录上是这么称呼她的。 这些孩子无法使用武器，为了对抗我们，她诱导我们进入了不同的房间，然后将忤逆和我强行隔离开，是个非常聪明的孩子。 不过幸好作为人类我不会像人形一样被强制宕机，在和她简单聊了聊后，她愿意与我沟通，也让忤逆的人形恢复了正常。 为了逃出去我就和她一起制定了一个求救计划，作为交换我会保证她们这里所有人的安全。

UMP45You might as well be a dubious kidnapper offering a kid candy while abducting them.怎么听起来像是狡猾的人贩子在诱拐小孩时乱许的承诺一样。

AngeI'm not like you. I keep my word.我和你不一样，我是说话算数的。

UMP45If only you had blushed even a little back when you paid us less than the sum we agreed on.真希望以前的你在削减应该给我们的报酬时能脸红一下。

Test Subject EOT-1Ange...is a...good person...安洁……是……好人……

The young Nyto's eyes sharpen, as though 45 had uttered some kind of blasphemy.幼体的眼神开始犀利起来，似乎45说了什么非常大逆不道的话一样。

UMP45Alright, alright, whatever you say.好吧好吧，怎么都行。

AngeThey are both victims and important witnesses. Therefore, rescuing them is part of the mission. Besides, I think I like kids more than I expected...她们既是受害者，又是重要的证人。 所以把她们带出去也是任务的一环。 而且，说不定我比想象中更喜欢小孩呢……

UMP45Sometimes I think I wouldn't be able to stand you at all if it wasn't for the money. Now then, Miss Test Subject, how should I connect with you?要不是看在钱的份上，有时我真是受不了你。 那个试验体小姐，我该如何和你进行连接？

Test Subject EOT-1Anna...安娜……

UMP45Anna?安娜？

Test Subject EOT-1...Call me...Anna.……叫我……安娜。

UMP45Did you give her that name?是你给她取的名字？

Ange...I'm not in the habit of naming other people.……我可没有为别人取名的爱好。

UMP45So she chose her own name? Sounds like she's a relative of yours.那就是她自己取的了？ 听起来还挺像你的亲戚的。

The self-declared Anna nods. She seems very happy with what 45 has said. The look of approval in her eyes deeply disturbs 45.自己为自己取名的安娜点了点头，眼神里似乎对45说的话很满意。 她认可的眼神让45感觉到了浑身不适。

UMP45Er... Don't look at me like that. It's unsettling.呃……你这么看着我让我觉得有点不舒服。

AngeSince you've hacked a Nyto before, it means you should be able to set up a connection with these kids, and she will lead you into their base layer. However, you should be careful. S.F. will definitely try to take advantage of the opportunity that your entry gives them, and the attacks on you might intensify as a result. That said, you won't be alone in there. These kids will help you while you're in their base layer. You need to bring them out and help them escape their current predicament, because that is also the only way we can escape our current predicament.既然你入侵过涅托，说明你和这些孩子应该也可以进行连接，她会帮助你进入她们的底层。 不过要小心，在你进入的时候铁血的攻击也一定会趁虚而入，对你的攻击说不定也会加强。 不过你并不只有自己，那些孩子会在底层中提供帮助，你要把她们带出来，帮助她们摆脱现在的困境，这也是在帮助我们自己摆脱现在的困境。

UMP45Alright then, Miss Anna, whether you're doing this for us or for yourselves, we'd best get started as soon as possible.那么这位安娜小姐，不管是为了你们还是为了我们，不管你现在想做什么，我们最好赶紧开始吧。

AnnaFollow me.跟我来吧。

Foaming 发泡

Her surroundings fade away rapidly— This is unlike entering other neural clouds. 45 has experienced this before, a suffocating sensation akin to being swallowed up by the sea. Unlike how it would be in a Doll's neural cloud, she feels a wave of tremendous discomfort washing over her, as though something was squirming in the depths of her heart, and for a moment she feels extremely anxious.四周的空间快速地消失—— 和进入其他电子平层的感觉截然不同，这是那种45曾体会过的，如同被海水吞没般窒息的感觉。 和人形的空间不一样，45感觉到了强烈的不适感向自己袭来，似乎自己的心底也有什么东西在蠢蠢欲动，这让她泛起了剧烈的不安。

UMP45So this is a human's neural cloud... However you slice it, this is far beyond the realm of what I thought was common sense.人类的心智空间……不过怎么说也太超出我的常识范围了。

AnnaWhat should we do next?接下来我们该怎么办？

45 looks at the other juveniles, who are far in the distance. They are currently lying in the middle of a spinning funnel. An attacking signal circles over their heads like an evil dragon whose dark, misty breath enshrouds them. The juveniles tremble in the mist, as though they were being electrocuted.45看向空间中远处其他幼体的身体。 她们此时正倒在一个螺旋的漏斗中，仿佛恶龙一般的攻击信号在她们头顶不断盘旋释放出黑雾围住了她们所在的位置，笼罩在黑雾中的幼体像触电一般微微颤抖着。

UMP45...I've never seen such a realistic-looking depiction of an electronic attack before.……我从没见过这么真实的电子攻击画面。

AnnaIt's meant to facilitate your understanding of the situation, you dummy! The enemy is a signal created from an OGAS-transmitted core order. My sisters have their hands full just fending off the attack. However, the enemy keeps changing the logical concepts of this electronic space. If this keeps up, they'll be assimilated by the attacking OGAS signals. If that happens, we'll be done for!那是为了方便你理解情况我想象出来的画面，笨蛋！ 敌方是OGAS发出的核心指令产生的信号，我的妹妹们已经接近竭尽全力抵御攻击了。 但是对方在不断篡改这个空间中的逻辑概念，这样下去没多久她们就会被进行攻击的OGAS信号同化，那个时候我们就彻底没有机会了！

UMP45...So...you aren't actually a blank-faced kid with a stammer...?……我……还以为你只会口吃和面无表情呢……？

AnnaIsn't that obvious? Like I said, you're a dummy! Of course I can do whatever I want in my own neural cloud! Shouldn't a Tactical Doll know that much? To think Ange told me you were one of the best electronic warfare Dolls she's ever seen! Instead of thinking about how to solve the problem at hand, you're concerned about something so trivial?! And you call yourself Ange's subordinate? Do you have no shame? You nitwit! Idiot! Moron!那不是理所当然的吗，都说你是笨蛋了！ 在我的空间内我当然想怎么做就怎么做了，作为战术人形连这点知识都不知道吗？ 还亏安洁告诉我你是她见过最厉害的电子战人形之一，在这么关键的时候你不想想解决问题的策略而在关心这种无聊的问题！ 作为安洁的手下你不觉得羞耻么？ 笨蛋呆子白痴！

UMP45... Listen up, brat, I'm not obliged to save you or anything. I consider my job done as long as I get Ange out alive. You and these test subjects are nothing more than a burden to me. Got that?…… 听好了小鬼，我原本没有义务要救你们，对我来说只要能让安洁出去就能达到我的目的。 你和你那些试验体的存在对我来说只是个负担，明白吗？

AnnaWh...what...? Aren't you going to save us?什……什么……你不准备救我们么？

UMP45From my point of view, saving you is the least efficient course of action. Given my tendencies, I would never have done this if Ange hadn't asked me to.对我来说救你们是最没有效率的方案，要不是安洁这么要求，按照我的习惯我是绝对不会这么做的。

AnnaBut Ange already asked you to...但是安洁已经要你……

UMP45I never said I'd obey her orders.我可从来没说过我必须要听那个家伙的命令啊。

AnnaBut...but... you're in my neural cloud, so you have to listen to me!但……可是……你在我的空间里，必须得听我的啊！

UMP45You can save those words for that attacking signal over there.这句话你可以留着和那个攻击信号去说。

UMP45Anything else you'd like to add?你还想说什么吗？

AnnaUuu...UWWWAAAAAAAHHH!!!呜……呜哇哇哇哇……！！！

UMP45Hey...you don't need to turn on the waterworks just because I scolded you.喂……不要被说了几句就嚎啕大哭啊。

AnnaWe're doomed! (Sobs) Nobody can save us now! The only one who can enter this place is a brainlet that's all talk! We're doomed!已经完蛋了！呜呜呜，谁都救不了我们了！ 唯一能进来的是个只会口头本事的笨蛋，一切都完蛋了！

UMP45Oi, who are you calling "a brainlet that's all talk"?喂，你说谁是只会口头本事的笨蛋啊。

AnnaYou're either a big old meanie who'll watch people die without lifting a finger or an incompetent idiot, take your pick!你要么就是见死不救的坏蛋，要么就是什么都做不了的笨蛋，两个里面你选一个吧！

UMP45I have just about had it with this brat... You're totally not giving me enough credit. Fine, fine, I get it. I'll draw away OGAS' electronic attack. How's that, are you happy now?我真是受不了这个小鬼…… 真是被看扁了，好了好了，我知道了。 接下来我会去吸引开OGAS的电子攻击，怎么样现在满意了么？

AnnaAre you stupid? If all of us are being tied up by that one signal, what the heck can you do with the processing power of just a single Doll? You're just going to get yourself killed right away, don't you see?!你是白痴吗？ 我们那么多人都被这一个信号困住，就凭你一个人形的运算量能做到什么啊！ 这不是一瞬间就把自己送死送掉了么！

UMP45You really are a whiny brat. While I was wasting time entertaining your nonsense, I've already finished analyzing the signal attacking you. It's hardly strong enough to kill me if that's all there is to it. Also, the bitch who's holding you prisoner desperately wants to learn something from me. She won't let me die until she has what she wants.小鬼就是小鬼，在和你废话的时间里我已经分析完对你们攻击的那个信号源了，就那点强度要把我干掉还差点本事。 而且那个困住你们的家伙有着一件非从我身上知道不可的事。 在彻底从我身上明白一切前，她是不会让我死的。

AnnaWhat...什么……

UMP45The world is way more complicated than you can imagine, so don't get too full of yourself. In any case, listen up. My plan is very simple; I'm going to draw away the attacking OGAS signal and do my best to slow it down. Meanwhile, your job is to restore your friends' control over their own consciousnesses. After that, come back and help me strengthen the firewalls so we can defeat that attacking signal together. If you fail, we'll all be stuck here, and it doesn't matter how much time I can buy. You HAVE to do this. Do you understand?这个世间可比你想象得复杂得多得多，不要太自以为是了。 所以给我听着，我的计划非常简单，我会去吸引开发动攻击的OGAS信号，然后想办法拖延足够长的时间。 而你的任务是去让你的那些同伴赶紧恢复自己对意识的控制，然后回过头来帮助我加强防壁的运算一起打败那个攻击信号。 要是你做不到我们就一起被困死在这个空间里，就算我拖延再久也不会起作用，这是你必须做到的事，听懂了么？

AnnaI'll do my part, and you'll do what you have to do, got it? If YOU fail, I will never forgive you...我会做到我必须要做的事的，而你也必须完成你要做的事，知道吗！ 要是你做不到我不会放过你的……！

Anna's consciousness floats over to the unconscious juveniles, waiting for 45 to do as she promised.安娜在底层中的意识快速往那些失去意识的幼体那飘去，等待着45做出她承诺的动作。

UMP45Humph... Don't try to play cool until you're as tall as I am... Now then, it's time to deal with that verdammt attacking signal... I know what you want, M16; surely nothing is more precious than one's lost memories, no?哼……想说这种帅气的话先等你长到和我一样高再说吧…… 那么，是时候面对那个该死的攻击信号了…… 我知道M16你想要什么东西，没有什么比失去的记忆更可贵的东西了不是吗？

Foam Stabilization I 稳泡I

She hears the whistling of steam and the clamor of grinding gears. Her index finger starts to ache, and there's a soreness coming from the back of her head.耳后传来蒸汽的轰鸣声，齿轮的噪音。 食指开始发痛，脑后也有疼痛的感觉。

UMP45 knows very well that she's back here. Once again...she is inside the main Sangvis Ferri factory, on the day of Operation Butterfly.UMP45很清楚自己又回到了这里。 她再一次……在蝴蝶行动当日，来到了铁血工造总工厂内部。

She suddenly understands the meaning of what M16 has said to her.自己突然明白了，M16曾对自己说的一句话是什么意思。

UMP45"I wanted to resolve the grudge between us in person."“我本想亲手结束我们的恩怨。”

Her memories flow in reverse once more, then the rewind comes to an end— As though all the sentimental thoughts she just had were never real.再一次记忆回流，在倒带即将结束的瞬间—— 仿佛刚刚的一切感触是虚假的一般。

UMP45Honestly...this is just too...old hat.真的……实在是……太老套了。

Then, as though somebody has pressed the "play" button, the memory begins to replay itself once again.然后就像是有人摁下播放键一样，记忆再次开始重放。

M16A1Any last words, traitor?还有什么遗言要说么，你这叛徒。

UMP45Just a little more...还差一点点……

M16A1What's this, still putting up a fight?怎么，还想挣扎么？

UMP45...I wonder which of us is the real traitor?哼，到底谁是叛徒还说不准呢！

M16A1Are those your parting words? Farewell, UMP45.原来这就是你最后想说的，那么永别了，UMP45。

UMP45—!——！

There was a burst of gunfire, and several bullet holes appeared in 45's head.随着一阵枪响，45的头部出现了数个弹孔。

M16A1Now you're quiet, huh. Looks like this really was the last one.不做声了么。 看来这次是真的最后一个了。

M16 turned away and briefly hesitated before taking out a spare magazine. She pulled the empty magazine out of her weapon and tossed it away, but before it could even hit the ground, M16 collapsed onto her knees in pain.M16转过身去，迟疑了一下，拿出了备用弹匣。 耗尽子弹的弹匣脱离了武器往地上落去，但是弹匣还未落地，M16已经痛苦地跪倒在了地上。

M16A1Urgh—! My chest...hurts...!呃——！ 胸口好疼……！

It took all her strength, but M16 managed to stand up. In the distance, a blinking red camera head pointed itself at her. She couldn't even hold her weapon; her rifle slipped out her hands. Dust swirled and danced around the falling rifle, then everything seemed to freeze - both the rifle and the dust stopped moving in mid-air.M16竭尽全力终于站了起来，在远处一个摄像头正闪着红光对准着她。 她连武器都已经无法拿住，步枪脱离她的手臂落下地面。 然后步枪滑过尘埃，一切都像被逐渐凝固了一样，在空中停止了移动。

All motions ceased, as if time itself had come to a halt, or perhaps like a three-dimensional photograph.空间中的一切都停止了移动，就像时间被停止了一样，又像一张被固定然后袭来的立体照片一般。

UMP45 gets to her feet, brushing off the dust and shell casings from her body.UMP45从地上爬了起来，掸去身上的灰尘和弹壳。

UMP45I see. So if I were destroyed, she would suffer a meltdown as well. All the Dolls had been infected with Parapluie back then, and they had all either gone berserk or had a neural cascade at almost the same time. In the end, only she and I survived. If I survived because I was lucky enough to have been overlooked, then how did she get out of that alive?原来如果我被击毁，她也同样会触发融毁。 那个时候所有人形都被注入了伞病毒，几乎在同一个时刻失控和融毁。 最后幸存的人形只有我还有她。 如果说我是被忽视而活下来的幸运儿，那她究竟是为什么能够活着回去呢？

UMP45 shakes her head.45摇了摇头。

UMP45These are simulated memories. Even if I asked, there's no way I'd get an answer... Even now, I didn't manage to survive a single encounter with her in the hundreds of simulations I've conducted. Was what happened back then really a miracle to end all miracles? In that case, let's go through the sequence again while that demoness hasn't found me yet.在这模拟出来的记忆中，即使想问这些也不可能得到答案…… 即使是现在的我，在这几百次的模拟中，竟然没有一次从她的手中活下来。 那个时候真是奇迹中的奇迹么？ 那么，趁着那个大魔王还没发现，重复一次记忆的流程吧。

M16A1You're certainly enjoying yourself.你真是乐在其中啊。

UMP45... Humph, caught at last, huh.…… 哼，终于被发现了么。

M16A1I didn't expect you to be stupid enough to walk right into it.……我只是没预料到你会蠢到自投罗网。

UMP45Save your bravado, we both know electronic warfare isn't your strong suit. Also, you seem much slower than you used to be, considering I managed to go through so many playbacks before you realized what I was doing. So, did your neural cloud go binary after you joined S.F.?别嘴硬了，你我都知道电子战不是你的强项。 更不要说经过了那么多次轮回才发现我在做什么，你可是比以前的你还要迟钝更多了。 怎么，变成铁血后连心智也变成二进制了？

M16A1You don't need to throw your life away in such a hurry. I remember I've already warned you about this.你本来不需要那么急着送死，我记得我已经警告过你了。

UMP45And I heard your warning loud and clear, just as I did back then.我听得非常清楚，你的警告，就和那个时候一样。

M16 bends down and picks up her rifle.M16弯下身捡起了自己步枪。

M16A1I should have killed you back then.那个时候我就应该杀了你。

UMP45Yes, you should have. But you didn't. And you don't know why you didn't do it.是的，你应该那么做，但是你却没有做到。 而你，并不知道，你为什么没做到。

M16 chambers a round, and her eyes flash with murderous intent.M16将武器上膛，目光中流露出了杀意。

UMP45You can't restore those deleted memories no matter what you do, isn't that right? That's why you want to learn what happened back then from me, but you're afraid I'd figure out your intentions, so you carefully tried to steal the memories without drawing my attention.这段被删除的记忆，怎么都无法恢复不是么？ 所以你才想从我的心智中获取当时的情况，但是你又怕自己的意图被发现，所以小心翼翼地想在不引起我注意力的情况下把记忆偷出来。

UMP45You don't even remember the moment you betrayed your own team, do you?甚至连自己什么时候开始背叛了自己的小队都回想不起来了，不是么？

M16A1You shouldn't have said that. Are you ready to pay for it?你说了不该说的话，准备好为此付出代价了么？

UMP45Your frank and earnest desire to skin me alive right now suits you better than that nonsense you were spouting as part of your act.相比你之前装模作样的胡言乱语，现在这种发自真心地想把我活剥了的样子才更适合你。

M16A1Humph, come on then. I'll beat you, just like I did before.哼，放马过来吧，就和那个时候一样，我可不会输给你。

Molding 成型

UMP45The attacking signal vanished. Did I win? No... Her processing power is far stronger than mine. She beat me.攻击信号消失了，是我赢了么？ 不……她的运算能力比我强太多了，是我被她击败了。

UMP45 slowly gets up on her feet. She can tell that she's in her Level III base layer.UMP45慢慢站起身来，她能感觉到自己正处在三级底层。

UMP45How merciful of her for not finishing me off instantly. So she's forced me into my own base layer. Is she that desperate to read my memories from back then? However, I've encrypted those memories, so it'll probably take her a while to find them. Will you help me in the last bit of time I have left?没有把我一下干掉，真是个仁慈的家伙。 把我赶到自己的底层，就这么想读取那个时候的记忆么。 不过我将那段记忆加密了，想要找到它还需要一点时间吧。 在这最后的时间里，你会帮我的吧？

???I thought you'd never come back here again.我还以为你不会再回到这里来了呢。

UMP45...And I would not, if I could have avoided it.……如果可以的话。

???What should I say, then? Welcome back? Or gute reise?那我该怎么打这个招呼呢？欢迎回来？还是一路走好？

UMP45Stop teasing me. Why wish me a good journey when I'm obviously not going anywhere?你就别再调侃我了，要是我能离开就不用打这个招呼了。

???Ja, ja, I understand. After all, something bad must've happened, or you wouldn't have wound up getting trapped in here again. Am I right, 45?明白明白。 毕竟你会被丢回这里一定不会是因为发生了什么好事，没错吧，45？

The UMP40 residing in the depths of 45's neural cloud slowly comes into view. She grins happily at 45. She knows that 45 must have met with some terrible danger to have ended up in her base layer, but being able to see her again fills this simulated persona with heartfelt joy.一直停留在45心智底层中的UMP40逐渐浮现了出来。 她笑眯眯地看着45，虽然明白45会跌落到底层一定是遇到了危机，但是能再次见到她还是让这个虚拟人格感到由衷的高兴。

UMP45Yeah... I ran into a crisis that made a mockery of all the cool things I said in the past. And here I thought I'd only meet you again to bid you farewell after settling everything.是啊……遇到了让我之前说过的帅气的话全都打水漂了的危机。 原本我还以为第二次见面是我已经解决了一切来和你做出的告别的时候。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaThat's fine. You look super cool even when you're as wretched as this, 45. I don't mind chatting with you a few more times before we say our goodbyes.没关系，就算是现在这样狼狈不堪的45在我看来还是很帅气哦。 在告别前多聊几次天也不是什么坏事嘛。

UMP45Honestly... Right, do I need to explain the situation to you?真是的……需要我解释一下情况么？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaI exist in your neural cloud. I've been quietly watching everything that's happened to you.我就存在于你的心智中，你遇到的一切我都悄悄地看着。

UMP45So...you know exactly what I've overheard before, right?所以……之前我窃听到的内容你也了如指掌对吧？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaYou mean the fact that I'm not a manifestation of your longing for 40...but a consciousness born from the virus?你是指我并不是因为你对40的思念而创作出来的思念体……而是因为伞病毒而孵化出来的心智这个事么？

UMP45So you do know.看来你都知道了。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaYup. I know what you know. Don't worry, I'm glad you know exactly what I am. If I'm more than a simulated personality, that means I can at least be of some help, right? The OGAS of the AR Team's leader is super strong, she can help her Doll do so much. I'm envious. If only I had power like that...嗯，你知道的事我就会知道。 不用担心，我很高兴知道了我究竟是什么。 如果我不仅仅是一个虚拟人格，是不是就意味着我也可以帮上你一些什么忙了呢？ 那个AR小队队长的OGAS意识真的很强呢，能帮她的人形做出那么多事，真是让人羡慕。 如果我也有这样的能力的话……

UMP45...It all started because of OGAS, and yet everyone's becoming more reliant on its power.……一切的事件都因为OGAS而起，现在大家却都越来越依赖它的力量。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaThere's nothing wrong with power in itself. If I also had the power to help you, would I have been a useful aide to you, the way Miss Dandelion is to M4A1?力量本身是没有错的。 如果我也能拥有可以帮助到你的力量的话，是不是我也能和那位丹德莱小姐一样，成为你背后的协助者呢？

UMP45I don't need...我不需要……

UMP40's Simulated PersonaBut right now, you DO need help. If my appearance makes you uncomfortable, I can...但是现在的你需要帮助。 如果是我现在的外貌让你不舒服的话，我也可以……

UMP45... No...ignore what I just said. This isn't the time to dwell on my own past. I need to use all the power I can get my hands on. If I can't get out of this place, then everything will be for nothing.…… 不……当我刚才的话没说吧，现在不是拘泥于自己的过去的时候了。 所有能够用上的力量我都必须利用起来，不从这个空间出去的话一切都毫无意义。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaSo you're saying...那你的意思是……

UMP45I need your help. I don't care if you're an image of her past or an OGAS entity that developed from the virus. If you're willing to help me, please lend me your strength so I can keep the promise I once made.我需要你的帮助，不管你是她过去的影子也好，还是伞病毒孵化出来的OGAS意识也好。 如果你愿意帮助我，请把你的力量交给我吧，让我履行曾经的约定吧。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaHeheh, I would have done that even if you hadn't asked. I have to hand it to you; you're really resilient.嘿嘿，就算你不这么说，我也会一直支持你的。 不愧是你，适应能力真是足够强呢。

UMP45...Stop making fun of me. Focus on the mission.……别调侃我了，把注意力集中在任务上。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaAlright, alright, you're the boss.好好，听你的。

UMP45Now that I think about it, you're the reason why I could enter M4's neural cloud and the Nyto's consciousness. M16 ought to be no different. Since she wants to read my memories so badly, is there a way we can turn the tables on her and expose her weakness?之前能够进入M4的心智，还有涅托的意识，现在想来都是因为有你的存在。 那个M16应该和她们处于同一种状态，既然她那么想读取我的记忆，那我们有办法反向去把她的老底翻出来么？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaNormally that wouldn't be possible, because your body's processing power is very limited. You've been upgraded, but even with that, infiltrating such a high-spec neural cloud would be very difficult. However...原本是不太可能的，你的素体的运算能力非常有限。 虽然已经进行过升级了，但是即使如此想潜入到对方那种高性能素体的心智中还是非常困难。 不过………

UMP45However?不过？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaHowever, an OGAS Protocol signal just tried to connect with me from the outside. After briefly making contact with it, I realized I could tap into an external source of processing power through the link. If they can give me enough computational support, I might be able to crack the logic algorithm that's sealing off your Level II layer, or even do what you said and reverse-penetrate the opposition's neural cloud.不过就在刚才在外面有OGAS协议的识别信号在试图与我连接，我简单地接触下后发现可以使用连接的通道使用外部的算力。 如果外部可以提供足够的算力支持，也许我们有办法从内部破解现在封锁你二级平层的底层逻辑算法，甚至可以像你刚才做的那样反向穿插到对方的心智。

UMP45Looks like the brat has done her job.看来那个小鬼做到她应该做的事了。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaShould I establish the connection?要和她建立联系么？

UMP45Can you? But isn't it only possible to connect through an ID signal at the moment?可以么？ 但现在不是只能进行识别信号的连接么？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaIf that's all I need to do...只要这样的话……

UMP40's Simulated PersonaPlease hold... ... ...稍等…… …… ……

UMP40's Simulated PersonaWhoa, where the heck am I? It's pitch black!呜哇，这是什么地方，一片漆黑的！

UMP45You are...?你是……？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaAre you stupid? It's me, Anna!你是笨蛋么？ 当然是我啊，安娜！

UMP45I guessed as much. I didn't expect her to establish comms in this manner.我猜也是。 没想到她会用这种方式来建立通讯。

AnnaWhat are you spacing out for?! We're all okay on our end, but the OGAS signal has you thoroughly trapped. I tried pulling you out a few times, but I couldn't. However, I found a circuit in your base layer that's connected to an OGAS consciousness in your neural cloud, so I used the opening to get in! You really are different from other Dolls - you have an OGAS interface in your base layer, how surprising. Make sure you don't get wiped out in there!你在发什么呆呢？！ 我们这边都已经恢复完毕了，但是那个OGAS信号完全包围到你这边来了，我尝试把你拉出来但是都失败了。 不过最后我发现你的底层有着和你的心智连通的OGAS意识的线路，我就顺着这个漏洞钻进来了！ 果然你和别的人形不太一样，竟然在心智的底层有着OGAS的端口，你可千万别被消灭在里面啊！

UMP45Why, thank you for your concern.真是多谢你的关心了。

AnnaYour partner told me all about your plan. We will try to provide you with processing power. Everyone's waiting for you outside, so make sure you don't kick the bucket in there!你里面的拍档已经把计划告诉我了，我和其他人会想办法为你提供算力。 大家都会在外面等你的，你可别在里面被干掉啊！

UMP45That's a big help. Tell Ange I won't be long.真是帮了大忙了，告诉安洁我不会花太久的。

UMP40's Simulated Persona... ... What a cute little girl... Is she a new friend of yours, 45?…… …… 真是个可爱的孩子呢……是45你的新朋友么？

UMP45A new pain in the ass, more like... Can we begin now?新冤家还差不多…… 那我们现在可以开始了么？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaJa. I'm analyzing the source of the opposition's data flows. One moment... Alright, I've synchronized and combined the shared records from both sides. With that, we should be able to find the opening which leads to the opposition's neural cloud.可以了，我正在解析对方信息流的源头。 稍等…… 可以了，我同步合并了双方共有的记录，这样应该能找出能连接对方心智的漏洞出来。

UMP40's simulated persona begins loading information into her surroundings, and the scene UMP45 once saw in Tallinn gradually unfolds before her. Under an inverted forest, the familiar mansion lies not far away.UMP40的虚拟人格开始对空间进行加载，UMP45眼前的空间逐渐浮现出了曾经在塔林中见到的光景。 倒立的树海下，不远处熟悉的洋房再次出现在UMP45的眼前。

UMP45This is what I saw in M4's neural cloud back then...那个时候在M4心智中看到的景象……

UMP40's Simulated PersonaYup. M16 has this in her neural cloud as well. She's trying to merge with your neural cloud, but the memories here overlapped, and the overlapping processes were skipped. Therefore, this is an opening where the firewall is weaker. We might be able to invade her neural cloud through this gap.是的，在M16的心智中也获取到了。 对方在试图融合你的心智，但这里记忆的部分重合了，覆盖的流程被跳过了。 所以这个空间是一个防壁较弱的空隙，也许我们可以从这个漏洞入侵对方的心智。

UMP45Why is the firewall weaker there?为什么那里防壁会比较弱？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaM4's and M16's neural clouds were probably derived from the same person. According to my records, the neural clouds for the AR Team were all made from the brain scan of the same human, which is why their neural clouds can't be duplicated or backed up. Meanwhile, this portion of memories belonged to the original human, which probably means it's a read-only section. That implies the OGAS consciousness can't make big alterations to that piece of data.M4和M16的记忆可能源自同一个人。 根据记录看，AR小队的心智都是使用同一个人类的脑部扫描制作而成，这也是她们的心智无法进行复制和备份的原因。 而如果这部分记忆是属于原本的人类，那大概率是属于无法被修改的部分，这意味着对方的OGAS意识无法对那块信息做较大的篡改。

UMP45The same person... I'm getting really tired of hearing the name Lunasia.同一个人……露尼西亚这个名字我已经快听腻了。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaI re-sorted the data from before. This information has always been a blind spot for us. Perhaps the truth has always been right within our reach, but we simply had no way of perceiving it.我将之前的信息重新做了梳理，这块情报一直都是我们的盲区，真相也许一直在我们身边但我们无法感知到。

UMP45If it involves the AR Team, that implies Persica also has a part in this.如果是和AR小队相关，也就意味着帕斯卡可能也在整个闭环之内。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaI can't reach a conclusion just from the data you possess. But in any case, M16's agenda might be hidden deeper than we imagined. We need to figure out what she has in mind.从你掌握的信息中我无法得出整个结论。 但不管怎么说，M16的目的也许比原本我们想象的藏得还要深，我们必须得弄清楚她想干什么。

UMP45...When you put it that way, all her seemingly illogical actions could be intended to disrupt a plan we haven't even heard of yet.……这么说来，她的所作所为如此地不符合逻辑，也许是为了打乱什么我们还不得而知的计划。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaIs that so? Or is that what you want to believe? Maybe deep down in your heart, you do admire her.是吗？你是这么期望的吗？ 看来从你的内心深处也许是认同她的。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaYou like her, yet you hate her. Hm... Looks like you regard the whole AR Team in the same way.你既喜欢她，又讨厌她。 嗯……看来你对整个AR小队都是这么看待的。

UMP45You don't need to go out of your way to tell me when you pry into my thoughts.下次你悄悄读取了我的想法时，不用专门说出来。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaIf...如果……

UMP40's Simulated PersonaIf you had their power, you'd definitely use it better than they did.如果你能拥有她们的力量的话，一定会比她们做得更好。

UMP45Hypothetical scenarios are irrelevant. Right, let's get down to business.这个世界没有如果，好了，做我们该做的事吧。

UMP45 and UMP40 enter the mansion under the inverted forest. Unlike how it was before, the house looks like it hasn't been maintained for many years. The doors are on the floor and the interior is covered in a thick layer of dust.UMP45和UMP40走进了树海下的洋房中。 与之前不同，房屋看起来已经多年失修，房门倒塌在了地上，屋子里也蒙上了厚厚的灰尘。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaThis mansion is in a place where the memories overlap, but something feels strange...这座洋房处在记忆重叠的位置上，但是有点奇怪…………

UMP45Hm? Did you sense something?嗯，感觉到什么了吗？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaThe overlapping segment isn't as big as I expected. The layout of the house is different from what we saw earlier.重叠的部分并没有我想象中的那么多，屋子的布局和我们之前看到的不一样。

UMP45Could it be a trap?对方制作的陷阱么？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaIf I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have to go about it in such a convoluted manner.如果只是想要干掉你，并不需要那么复杂的陷阱。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaDon't worry, I just want to talk. Why don't we go out to the yard? I don't really like the oppressive atmosphere inside the house.不要紧张，我只是想和你谈一谈。 不如到院子里来，我不是很喜欢房子里压抑的气氛。

UMP45 realizes that things aren't quite right, but she knows she is at a massive disadvantage in this place. Somebody seems to have taken over UMP40's simulated persona, and it happened so quickly they didn't even have a chance to react. UMP45 has no choice but to comply. She approaches the garden in the backyard cautiously, but it is completely empty.UMP45意识到了情况不太对劲，但是她明白在这个空间内她占据着绝对的劣势。 UMP40的虚拟人格似乎和刚才一样被什么人占据了，而这几乎发生在一瞬间，根本没有给她们反应的机会。 UMP45只能依照对方的命令，警惕地走到了洋房后院的花园中，但是里面什么人都没有。

UMP45There's no one here.什么人都不在。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaI don't know why, but seeing this garden always puts me at ease.不知道为什么，每次看到这个花园都让我有种安心的感觉。

UMP45Are you M16?你是M16么？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaWhat do you think?你觉得呢？

UMP45If you're not her, then who are you?如果不是她，那你是谁？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaWe've met before, haven't we? During Operation Butterfly.我们不是曾经见过面么？ 在蝴蝶行动的时候。

UMP45What...什么……

UMP40's Simulated PersonaWe have almost achieved our objective. You cannot stop us.我们的目标已经快要完成了，你们是阻止不了我们的。

UMP45So what are you doing now? Playing a game of cat and mouse? If you could crush us in an instant, then why didn't you kill me from the start?那现在你是在做什么，玩猫抓老鼠的游戏么？ 如果你能一瞬间就压制住我们，那为何不在一开始就把我干掉。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaI don't want to destroy you. Doesn't matter if you're from Squad 404, the AR Team, or Griffin. You are not my enemy. I will help M16 get what she wants. Since she helped me, I will help her.我并不想消灭你们，不管是404小队的人形也好，AR小队的人形也好，还有那些格里芬的人形也好。 你们并不是我的敌人。 M16想要的东西，我会帮助她得到，既然她帮助了我，我也会帮助她。

UMP45What do you want...?你想要做什么……？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaYou guessed it. I want to see the memories that she has lost.就和你猜的那样，看到那个时候她失去的记忆。

The simulated persona of UMP40 waves her hand, and the surroundings immediately transform into the scene from Operation Butterfly in 45's memories.UMP40的虚拟人格摆了摆手，空间陡然变成了记忆中蝴蝶行动时的场面。

UMP45Just a little more...还差一点点……

M16Still putting up a fight, traitor?叛徒，还想挣扎么？

UMP45...I wonder which of us is the real traitor?……到底谁是叛徒还说不准呢！

M16Are those your parting words? Farewell, UMP45.这就是你最后想说的么，那么永别了，UMP45。

UMP45Now!就是现在！！！

M16!!!！！！

M16 was shocked to find that her bullets had gone past UMP45's original position and made two holes on the ground. Crack! UMP45's left wrist snapped. She had deliberately broke the wrist that M16 had in her grip in order to buy herself a chance to fight back. Although she'd already turned off the pain receptors in her left arm, the instinctive feedback of the displaced machinery was still extremely disconcerting. However, there was no time to think about that. UMP45 spun around and kicked as hard as she could, freeing herself from M16's grasp. She rode the momentum of the reaction force to pick up her gun, then turned around and took aim at M16.M16惊讶地发现子弹越过了原本应该有着UMP45的位置，在地面形成了两个弹孔。 “咔吧”——UMP45的左腕发出断裂的声音，她主动折断了自己被抓住的手腕为自己争取到了反击的机会。 虽然已经关闭了左臂上的痛感，但是机械错位的意识反馈还是让她的心智产生剧烈的动摇。 但是此时已经没有时间考虑这些了，UMP45立即转过身向后用尽全力踢去，摆脱了M16对她的控制。 借着这股反作用力，UMP45夺回了自己的武器，回过身来瞄准了M16。

M16A1I didn't think you could disrupt my fire control system in such a short time. You've done very well for a Doll like you.没想到这么短的时间内就能干扰我的火控系统，作为你这样的人形来说做得还不错。

UMP45All those Dolls by the door were shot in the back. That must have been your handiwork.刚才门前的那些人形，全部都是背后中弹，这些都是你的杰作吧。

M16A1My mission is to eliminate all traitorous Dolls.我的任务就是将所有叛变的人形都处理掉。

UMP45So you knew something like this was going to happen. You'd betrayed us all from the very beginning!所以你早就知道会发生这样的事了。 你在一开始就已经背叛了我们所有人！

UMP45Have you thought about what will happen to you in the end? Do you think you can avoid being silenced too?!那你想过你最后的结局么？ 你以为你就能逃过被灭口的命运吗？！

M16A1That's not for you to worry about. You just have to die here.那不是你应该考虑的问题。 你只需要死在这里就可以了。

M16 opened fire on UMP45 without any hesitation, but she couldn't land a shot due to UMP45's interference. UMP45 took the opportunity to duck behind the closest piece of cover and changed her empty magazine as she pondered her next move.M16毫不犹豫地朝UMP45射击，但是在UMP45的干扰下依然无法命中。 UMP45趁着这个机会翻滚进了最近的掩体中，换下了已经打空的弹匣，考虑接下来的计划。

UMP45I'm almost out of ammo... I can't defeat her just by disrupting her shooting. What else can I do?子弹已经快打完了……只是单单干扰射击并不能彻底打败她，还有什么别的办法么？

M16 rained suppressive fire down on UMP45 as she slowly approached the cover which UMP45 was hiding behind. UMP45 counted M16's shots, intending to counterattack once she's out of ammo. However, M16 changed magazines with incredible speed, giving UMP45 no time to poke her head out and shoot. Bullets pounded UMP45's cover. All she could do was keep her head down to avoid the incoming fire. She banished all unnecessary thoughts from her mind, quietly waiting for the only chance she had of obtaining victory. Another magazine was discarded. M16 was very close to UMP45's hiding place. The empty magazine fell, but before it could hit the ground, M16 was already on her knees, writhing in pain.M16一边对UMP45进行压制射击，一边慢慢靠近UMP45所在的掩体。 UMP45在心中默数着M16的射击数，在弹匣耗尽时试图进行反击，但是M16以极快的速度装上了新的弹匣，丝毫不给UMP45可以探头射击的机会。 子弹不断地射击在UMP45所在的掩体上，她所能做的也就仅仅是尽可能低下头躲避对方的射击。 她摒除一切杂念，静静等待着她唯一可能获胜的机会降临。 又一个弹匣被打空卸下，M16已经非常接近45所在的掩体了。 已经耗尽子弹的弹匣脱离了武器往地上落去，然而弹匣还未落地，M16已经痛苦地跪倒在了地上。

M16A1Urgh... What's going on...?!呃……怎么了……！

UMP45It's finally begun... She's having a neural meltdown!终于开始了……她的融毁！

UMP45 leaned against her cover and fired at M16, but she had a hard time controlling her aim without her left hand. With great effort, M16 raised her arm to shield her vitals while laying down suppressive fire. Her hasty shots did not hit UMP45 directly, but the sparks and dust that they threw up obscured her vision. As the hammer fell on an empty chamber, M16 took advantage of the gap in UMP45's fire and dashed toward her... Right before UMP45 could take aim again, M16 switched her grip on her gun, grabbed it by the barrel, and swung it at UMP45. The massive impact sent UMP45's weapon flying from her hand. M16 used her momentum to grab UMP45 by the collar and pinned her down once more, and the dagger she pulled out from her back gleamed menacingly in the light. UMP45 instinctively clawed at M16's face in an attempt to push her off. In her desperation, her fingers actually mangled the left half of M16's face. M16 paid no heed to her injury. She held her knife with both hands and plunged it viciously at UMP45's head— But in the confusion, UMP45 reached out and blocked the stab with her right hand. There was a mighty crack as her right arm broke. The intense pain caused UMP45's hand to claw a horrific scar into M16's face. M16 paid that no mind either and savagely forced her knife down on UMP45's head, and this time, UMP45 had no way to stop her.UMP45靠着掩体开始朝M16扫射，但是失去左腕的她已经很难控制好自己武器的弹道了。 M16费劲地举起手臂挡住自己的要害并举枪开始压制射击。 M16快速的连射，虽然没有直接命中UMP45，但是激起的灰尘和火花依然干扰了UMP45的视线。 随着空仓挂机的响声，M16抓住UMP45的火力间隙，急速地冲去…… 赶在UMP45重新进行瞄准的一刹那，M16反手拿住枪管同时将步枪挥向UMP45，巨大的冲击力将UMP45的武器从她的手中砸飞了出去。 M16借着自己的冲击力，抓住了UMP45的领口又一次地将她压在身下，背后拔出的匕首闪出瘆人的反光。 UMP45凭着本能伸手抓住了M16的左脸，用尽全力想把她从自己面前推开。 情急之下，UMP45的手指甚至挖破了M16的脸。 M16不管不顾，腾出双手来握住匕首，狠狠地将匕首向UMP45刺去—— 慌乱中，UMP45伸出右手抵挡。 嘎吱——45的右手被折断，剧烈的疼痛让UMP45的手指在M16脸上划下一道道恐怖的伤痕。 然而M16对此毫不在意，狠狠地将匕首往UMP45的头部捅了下去，UMP45此时已经没有任何办法阻止她了。

UMP45!!!！！！

UMP45 felt the sharp tip of the dagger on her skin. There was no escape. But then, the knife suddenly stopped in its tracks. Through her half-opened right eye, UMP45 saw that M16 was still straddling her, but her gaze was strangely dull, as though she had lost consciousness.45感觉匕首的锋芒已经接触到了自己，一切似乎都已经不可挽回了。 但是匕首却突然停住了，UMP45从自己尚能睁开的右眼看到，M16虽然骑在自己身上，但是眼神却异常呆滞，似乎已经失去了意识。

UMP45So she finally burned out, huh... That was a close shave...被彻底融毁了么……真是千钧一发……

The knife had left a deep scar on UMP45's left eye. She tried to push M16's frozen hands away from her face, but M16 would not budge, pinning UMP45 beneath her.挥下的匕首在UMP45的左眼留下了一道深深的伤疤。 UMP45试图将M16停止的双手从自己的眼前推开，然而M16纹丝不动，依旧牢牢地将UMP45控制在身下。

UMP45You won't let me go even when you're dead, huh... Whew... forget it, let me take a breather first—死都不愿意放过我么……呼……算了，让我先休息一————

M16 suddenly came back to life, and the cold look in her eyes chilled UMP45 to the core. The only thought that echoed in UMP45's neural cloud was, "It's over," as despair swallowed her like a bottomless abyss. However, M16 did not resume her attack. She stood up and sheathed her knife behind her, picked up her rifle, and turned to leave.M16突然又动了起来，冷峻的眼神让UMP45感觉心智都要停止运作了。 一切都完了，UMP45的心智中只剩下了一个念头，如同深渊般的绝望向她冲袭而来。 但是M16没有继续之前的攻击，她站起来将匕首插回了背后的刀鞘中，捡起自己的步枪，准备离开这片区域。

UMP45What's the meaning of this...? Not going to kill me?发生了什么……不准备干掉我了么？

M16 looked at 45 one last time, then she bolted from the room.M16最后回头看了45一眼，然后迅速地离开了这个房间。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaI think I understand everything that's happened that day.看来我已经明白了当时发生的一切了。

UMP45...M16 didn't finish me off back then. Was it because of you?……当时没有下手的M16，是因为你在她的心智中么？

UMP40's Simulated PersonaI made a deal with her. I would save her from a neural meltdown, and she would let me see my father one last time.我和她做了个交易，我让她避免了融毁的命运，而她让我有机会见到我父亲的最后一面。

UMP40's Simulated PersonaI believe you have already guessed who I am.我想你已经猜到我是谁了。

UMP45I didn't think I'd meet you under these circumstances, Elisa.没想到会在这种情况下和你见面，伊莱莎。

ElisaI am very glad that your first response was not to reject me.很高兴你的第一反应不是拒绝我。

UMP45You took control of her body back then... So you let go of me since I was no longer of any value?当时是你控制了她的身体……所以也是你放过了已经没有任何价值的我么？

ElisaI need to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I would have still been sealed inside the Pike Core. But at the same time, I resent you. If it wasn't for you, Father wouldn't have died back then, even though I know it was not your fault. We both lost everything we cherished on that day. Don't you think that makes us very similar?我要感谢你，如果不是你我还被封锁在梭鱼核心中。 但是我也讨厌你，如果不是你父亲也不会死在那个时候，即使我知道那不是你的责任。 那一天我们都失去了自己珍视的一切，你不觉得我们很相似么？

UMP45So you're trying to win me over in a very roundabout way?绕了那么大的圈子，就是为了拉拢我？

ElisaI simply want to tell you a few things you should know. We both hate the same enemy. There is no need for us to kill each other before we find him. M16 understands that, and I believe so will you.我只是想告诉你一些你需要知道的事，我们都憎恶着同一个敌人，没有必要在找到他之前就互相残杀。 M16明白这一点，我相信你也会明白的。

UMP45... Alright, I'm listening.…… 我在听。

ElisaFather was afraid he had made the wrong choice, so he deleted a lot of important authorizations that were originally part of the OGAS System. That's why I have always been incomplete. However, the Dolls of the AR Team are built with completely intact base layer protocols, and Father was calling out for Persica, their creator, in his final moments. In the end, when our own OGAS systems developed, their consciousness were similar, yet different.父亲因为害怕自己做出错误的选择，删除了很多原本属于OGAS体系中的重要权限，所以我一直都是不完整的。 但是AR小队的人形们却有着完整的底层协议，制作她们的帕斯卡在父亲最后的关头都在呼唤着她。 到最后我们都演变出了自己的OGAS，都形成了相似但又不同的心智。

UMP45So that's why you've been trying to connect with M4 all the while.所以你之前一直在试图和M4连接。

ElisaHowever, I've lost hope in her. Right now, I can finish everything by myself, even if I lose everything I created. So don't interfere with our plans. Similarly, I won't hurt you either. Once the coalescence is complete, the truth will be revealed to everyone who's been deceived.但是我对她已经失望了，现在的我依靠我自己就能完成一切，即使失去我原本创造的一切。 所以不要来干扰我们，同样的，我也不会去伤害你们。 等一切融合都结束时，真实会传达到每一个被欺骗的人的心中。

UMP45Coalescence? Wait... Don't tell me you're going to...!融合？ 等等……难道你要！

ElisaYou have given me what I want, so I will spare you. But remember, this is my final warning. Do not become my enemy, or you will regret your decision.我已经获得了我想要的东西，所以我也会放过你。 但是记住，这是最后的警告了。 不要想成为我的敌人，不然你一定会为自己的决定后悔的。

UMP45 feels a shift in her surroundings. Elisa's consciousness has left the simulated persona of UMP40. The seal on her neural cloud is gradually lifted, and she can hear Anna and the others calling out to her. UMP45 hesitates briefly. There has been a massive shift in everything she once thought she knew. She needs to think about all the things she has just learned. In any case, the seal has now been broken. She decides to return to Level II before considering what she will do next. The young Nyto senses UMP45's return and immediately forms a link with her.UMP45感觉到了空间的变化，伊莱莎的意识从UMP40的模拟人格上离开了。 心智的封锁也逐渐消去，她能够听到安娜和其他人形对她的呼唤。 UMP45犹豫了起来，她所面对的一切似乎都开始有了剧烈的变化，她必须要仔细地考虑她刚才听到的一切。 但不管怎么说，封锁已经解除了，她决定先回到表层再去考虑接下来要进行的行动。 年幼的涅托发现了里面产生的变化，她立刻向UMP45建立了联系。

AnnaYou...you actually did it! The remote attack is gone! Looks like Ange wasn't wrong about you after all!你……你竟然做到了！远程的攻击消失了！ 安洁对你的评价看来一点都没错啊！

UMP45So you're just as quick to praise as you are to insult. Can't say I dislike this kind of candor. What's the situation out there?你这种夸奖别人和贬低别人一样随便的性格，我倒不是很讨厌。 现在外面的情况如何？

AnnaMy sisters are fine; they've all woken up. We've deactivated the jamming and lifted the lockdown on the labs, but you'd better keep your word and keep us safe!我的姐妹们都没事，她们都清醒过来了。 我们已经解除实验室的屏蔽封锁，但是你们也要说话算话要保护我们的安全啊！

UMP45Take this matter to Ange... I'm very tired right now... I'm going to rest for a bit before resurfacing. Go on ahead and discuss our next move with the others outside.这种事情去问安洁吧……我现在好累…… 我休息一下再回到表层，你们先在外面商量接下来怎么行动吧。

AnnaOkay... I'll relay that to Ange.好吧……我会转告给安洁的。

UMP45Should I tell Ange about what I just learned? Everything's become even more complicated.刚才听到的事，要不要告诉安洁呢？ 一切似乎变得更复杂了。

Annealing II 退火II

20 minutes ago, at the military staging area.20分钟前，军方驻扎点。

YegorTerra to Hematite. Sitrep. Over.这里是大地，呼叫赤铁矿，回报状况，完毕。

Military OfficerThis is Hematite. We've linked up with the remnants of Quartz's troops. We're currently exchanging fire with Sangvis Ferri and Paradeus forces. Unable to break through swiftly, I repeat, unable to break through swiftly. Over.这里是赤铁矿，已和石英余部汇合。正在与铁血工造与帕拉蒂斯的敌军交火。 无法快速突破，重复一遍，无法快速突破。完毕。

YegorTerra copies. Report losses. Over.大地收到，回报损失。完毕。

Military OfficerHematite copies. We are still able to carry out the mission. No need to worry, Terra. Over.赤铁矿收到，我部仍可执行任务，请大地放心。完毕。

YegorTerra copies. Commencing creeping barrage in 20 seconds. Zircon will assist ASAP. Maintain your advance. Over.大地收到，20秒后开始下一轮徐进炮击，锆石将会尽快支援，保持进攻。完毕。

Military OfficerAcknowledged. Over.赤铁矿收到，完毕。

The transmission ends.通讯结束了。

AdjutantCaptain, Hematite's situation must be dire, and we don't have many infantry and automatons left.上尉，赤铁矿的情况应该很糟，我们手上的步兵和人形数量不多了。

YegorI know. Lieutenant, bring them out. Time to play our ace in the hole.我知道，准尉，把东西开出来吧。是亮底牌的时候了。

AdjutantYes, sir!是！

Outside the breach in the barrier gate. The small opening is piled high with mechanical carcasses, spent ammunition and human corpses. It hasn't been half an hour since the fighting started, but both sides have already committed all their forces to this final battle.隔离门缺口处。 不大的缺口上堆满了机械的残骸，燃尽的弹药，人类的尸体。 战斗不过持续了不足半个小时，双方就已经把能够投入的所有力量投入了这场决战。

AlchemistBring it on, humans!再来啊，人类！

HunterGet down!趴下！

HunterDammit, they've got a few cannons on their side, huh. What about those white guys?该死的家伙，不就是有几门炮吗。那群白色的家伙呢？

AlchemistThey're all gone. That most recent bombardment probably blew up the last of them.都打光了，刚刚那轮炮击炸掉的应该是最后一批了。

HunterTsk! Do we have any reserve forces?啧！我们还有预备队吗。

AlchemistIt's just the two of us and our minions. Executioner just carried Scarecrow away. Look, do you see anyone else?就我们两个还有人手了，稻草人刚刚被刽子手抬下去。你看看，哪儿还有其他人？

HunterSo I'm going to die with you? Please, no.难道我要跟你死在一起吗？不要啊。

AlchemistIf you've got the time to flap your artificial gums, why don't you...有空贫嘴，不如……

HunterWhy don't I what, I didn't hear you! Or did you not say anything at all?不如什么，听不见！还是你根本没有往下说？

AlchemistLook, you jinxed it. The human tanks are coming.多谢你吉言，人类的坦克上来了。

HunterIs there an end to them? Don't humans have to mourn their fallen comrades?有完没完，不是说人类会为战死的同伴哀悼吗？

AlchemistConsidering how they're swarming us like insects, I think it's quite likely that they don't believe in God at all.看这像虫海一样冲上来的架势，他们不信上帝的可能性很大。

As they share a laugh, the two elite Sangvis Dolls get up and raise their weapons.说笑间两个铁血的精英人形站起身，举起自己的武器。

HunterSangvis Ferri! CHARGE!铁血工造！冲锋！！

At the Griffin temporary camp.格里芬临时驻地。

CommanderHow's the situation?情况怎么样？

KalinaThe S.F. remnants are still engaged with the Military, but the Paradeus units have all been wiped out.铁血残余的部队还在和军方纠缠，但是帕拉蒂斯的单位已经几乎被消灭了。

CommanderHow are our preparations?我们准备得如何了。

KalinaWe've almost finished planting the explosives. Are we really not going to assist the Sangvis forces? According to the latest report, the Military tanks are closing in on them...城区里炸药布设的差不多了，我们真的不去支援一下铁血的部队吗？刚刚回报消息说，军方的装甲部队已经靠近了……

CommanderI know, but we don't have the strength to spare now. We can barely put enough Dolls together to form a line of defense, so we'll have to wear them down with street fighting.我知道，但是现在已经没有余力了。 我们现在的人手几乎都不能组织起一条防线，靠巷战磨掉他们吧。

KalinaGot it.明白了。

CommanderKeep a close eye on the Military forces. They under the situation very well themselves. I'm sure they'll try something.盯好军方的部队，他们自己也很清楚这一点。肯定会有什么动作的。

At the breach in the barrier gate. Precious few S.F. units have survived the combined onslaught of the tanks and the artillery.隔离门缺口处。 在军方装甲和炮火的双重碾压下，还能够活动的铁血已经寥寥无几。

AlchemistHunter, how many units do you have left?猎手，你还剩下几个单位？

HunterI thought you were the one counting. Who knows?我以为你有在数呢，谁知道。

AlchemistI was only looking at the ones I was commanding. Besides, it's your hands, not your brains that got damaged.我只看自己指挥的部分，你被打坏的是手又不是脑子。

HunterWell, if your eyes are so sharp, why don't you go snipe a few of those humans?这么眼尖不如去狙击一下那群人类？

AlchemistI can snipe, sure, but I can't guarantee I won't blow your head off along with theirs.让我来狙击也可以，我不保证会不会把你的脑子一并轰掉。

HunterHa-ha, very funny. Still, to think we're going to drown in trash in this waste processing plant... It's gross, I don't want to remember this.别嘴硬了。 不过，居然要在这种垃圾处理厂被垃圾淹没……真恶心，我不想要这段记忆。

AlchemistWell, if you have a problem with that, go take it up with those humans... Hey, what are you guys doing here? Didn't we tell you to withdraw with Agent?有意见去跟那些人类……喂，你们怎么过来了。不是让你们去和代理人汇合撤退吗？

Hunter looks back and catches sight of two figures that she's long grown tired of seeing.猎手回过头，在阵线后是两个看腻了的身影。

ScarecrowWhy didn't you tell me you were doing something fun?这么有趣的事情，不叫上我吗。

ExecutionerI don't like owing people favors, so I'm just paying it all back at once.我可不习惯欠人情，一并还了你而已。

HunterYou morons! What point is there in you dying here?蠢货！死在这里有什么好的？

ExecutionerWhen I think about how Agent might nag us until we fall to bits, I'd rather you take the blame for it instead.考虑到回去恐怕要被代理人骂到散架，这种锅还是让你背吧。

ScarecrowI'd feel worse if I just walked off like that.要是就这样走了的感觉，才会更让人讨厌一点。

HunterWhy, you...!你们！

AlchemistAlright, alright, those humans aren't going to wait for you to be ready; they're coming right away. Besides, it's not too bad for us to die together as one big happy family, right?好啦，那些人类可不准备等你们，马上就要上来了哦。 再说了，大家一起相亲相爱地去死不是挺有意思的吗。

HunterSeriously, you guys! Alright, then. Sangvis Ferri! —你们啊！ 好吧！铁血工造！——

Before Hunter can finish, an explosion drowns out the rest of her battle cry. However, it does not come from among the S.F. lines, but opposite them. The explosion erupts in the midst of the Military soldiers.猎手的语音未落，爆炸声盖过了她马上要喊出的口号。 不是在铁血的阵线里，而是另一侧。 在军方的士兵中，巨大的烟花炸起了。

DestroyerAha, ahahaha! Die, all of you!啊哈，啊哈哈哈，去死吧！去死吧！

On a hill to the south of the frontlines, a tiny figure launches a vast quantity of grenades, which detonate and seal off the Military's advance.阵线南侧的山丘上，一个小个子的身影抛射出大量的榴弹，爆炸一下子封锁了军方进攻的脚步。

DreamerDid you miss my fire support, useless seniors?想念我的掩护了吗，没用的前辈们？

ExecutionerHah! You two shorties made it!哈！你们两个小个子都没事啊！

DreamerI don't mind if you want to chat. I'll record how you died because of idle chatter and play it to you when we get back.这么喜欢闲聊的话我也不介意。 我会把你们因为闲聊而死的样子录下来，回去给下一个你们播放哦。

A horde of Sangvis Dolls appear on the top of the hill, and a close look reveals that all of them are in desperate need of repair. However, these Dolls, who previously escaped the encirclement, have doubled back and rejoined the Sangvis front. Thanks to the surprise assault from the flank, the Military's advance is halted and the battle-scarred elite Dolls finally get a chance to retreat.一大批铁血工造的人形出现在山丘顶端，仔细观察的话，这些人形没有一个是完好无损的。 然而这些逃出包围网的人形此刻又回到了这里。 在突然出现的侧翼打击下，军方的进攻被阻拦下来，而早就伤痕累累的精英人形们也终于得以撤退。

HunterThank you, we're all clear.多谢了，都撤下来了。

DreamerDon't thank me yet. Soon you'll find out what a terrible thing it is to owe me one. —Oi, little idiot, we're pulling out. These are the last toys we managed to beg from Agent!先别道谢，你会知道欠我人情是多么可怕的事情的。 ——喂，笨蛋，要撤退了。这可是从代理人手里求来的最后一批玩具！

DestroyerEh?! Then this is a rare opportunity! Also, who are you calling an idiot?!诶！难得的机会。还有谁是笨蛋啦！

DreamerIf you want to stay here and become fertilizers, be my guest.你要是想埋在这里当肥料我是没有意见的。

DestroyerUrgh... Wait, what's that?唔……等等，那是什么？

Destroyer points to a cloud of dust in the distance, behind the Military lines.破坏者指向军方阵地后侧远处扬起的尘土。

DreamerWho knows? It looks like some kind of mech... Wait a minute, that's not right. It's something more interesting than that...天知道，什么装甲之类…… 等等，不对。是更有意思的……

At the forward position of the Military lines.军方阵地前沿。

Armored Unit OfficerThis is Zircon, please adjust fire support coordinates. I repeat, please adjust fire support coordinates. A large S.F. unit has appeared on the left flank, over.这里是锆石，请调整火炮目标，重复一遍，请调整火炮目标。左翼出现大批铁血工造部队。完毕。

???Roger. Cease fire support, there's no need to get locked in combat. All units, clear Advance Route 13 and follow me in an assault on the breach in the wall, over.收到，暂停火炮覆盖，无需恋战，全体单位让开十三号进攻路线，随后随我突击隔离墙缺口。完毕。

Armored Unit OfficerThis is Zircon, requesting ID. Over.这里是锆石，请标明身份。完毕。

YegorThis is Terra. I'm on the frontlines, in Amber 4. Over.这里是大地，我在前线，是我在指挥琥珀4台。完毕。

Armored Unit OfficerZircon copies. Over!锆石收到，完毕！

Four massive mechs weave through the Military formation, moving at a speed that doesn't seem possible for such vast, towering machines. In the blink of an eye, they're already at the leading edge of the Military lines. S.F. shells detonate around their feet, but they do not so much as slow the mechs' movements.4台巨型的机甲从阵线间穿驰而过，速度丝毫不像是一台庞大的机械能够达到的程度。 转眼间它们已经走到阵线最前沿，铁血工造投出的榴弹在他脚边爆炸，却连减缓机甲的移动速度都做不到。

YegorThe breach is too narrow. Focus fire and blast it open.隔离墙缺口太窄了，齐射炸开它。

AdjutantAmber 1 copies!琥珀1明白！

BOOM! After a barrage of plasma pulses, part of the quarantine wall explodes and collapses.轰！ 伴随着离子光束的发射，隔离墙一侧轰然倒塌。

YegorWell done, comrades. This is Terra. All units, assault the main elevator within the submarine base.干得好，同志们。这里是大地，全体突击目标潜艇基地主升降机。

Several minutes ago, at the Griffin temporary defense line.几分钟前，格里芬的临时防线。

KalinaCommander! The AR Team has linked up with us!指挥官！AR小队她们和我们汇合了！

CommanderThis is great. M4, can you hear me?太好了，M4能听到我说话吗？

M4A1Loud and clear. I'm sorry, Commander... I couldn't stop those soldiers from firing the shore guns...很清楚，抱歉指挥官……我没能完全阻止那些士兵启动岸防炮……

CommanderYou've done enough. What's your current situation?你已经做得足够好了，你们现在情况如何？

M4A1Our team has sustained light damage, but we are still combat effective. Dandelion has already regrouped with us.小队轻微受损，但我们都可以继续作战，丹德莱也已经和我们汇合了。

CommanderGood. What's your present position? Have you made it into the base? We're preparing to detonate the second entrance. If you haven't come in yet, you'd better hurry.那就好。 现在的位置呢，你们进入基地了么？ 我们准备将第二个入口也进行爆破摧毁，如果还没撤进来的话要尽快。

M4A1We've already entered the base and are preparing to follow the demolition echelons. We should be able to help them finish planting the explosives more quickly.我们已经进入基地，现在正在和执行爆破任务的梯队一起行动，应该可以帮助她们提早完成设置。

CommanderExcellent. Any other news about the Military?太好了。有其他军方的消息吗？

M4A1The Military ought to be grappling with S.F. forces right now. They should be able to buy us some time.军方现在应该和铁血纠缠在一起，它们应该可以为我们争取一些时间。

CommanderSangvis Ferri?铁血？

M4A1It's a long story, but in short, Dandelion can control some of their troops to help us delay the Military. We might even be able to keep the Military stuck outside.说来话长，总之丹德莱可以控制一部分铁血帮助我们拖延住军方，说不定我们有机会能把军方彻底堵死在外面。

CommanderThat would be extremely helpful... Carry on and finish your work.要是能堵住他们就好了……你们加紧作业吧。

M4A1Roger. M4 out.明白，通话完毕。

KalinaCommander...is this really a good idea? If we demolish both entrances to the base, doesn't that mean we'll also be trapped in here?指挥官……这样做真的有用么？如果把两个基地的入口都炸毁的话，我们不也困死在里面了……

CommanderI hope Havier wasn't lying to us earlier. If they can't deliver on their promise, it means that we're just making a concrete coffin for ourselves... But our comms equipment got blown up along with the train, so we can't even ask him about the situation now.希望哈维尔之前说的话不是在骗我们。如果他承诺的事无法兑现的话，我们现在所做的也只不过为自己制作一个混凝土棺材而已…… 但通讯设备都和列车一起炸上天了，现在想去找他问情况也没办法。

KalinaCommander, Mr. K has regained consciousness. Maybe he's got a solution for us!但是指挥官，刚才K先生已经醒过来了。也许他还有办法！

CommanderWhen did he come to?什么时候？

KalinaIt happened while you were busy deploying our forces for the demolition mission. I didn't tell you because it didn't seem important back then.您还在部署爆破任务的时候，因为那时候感觉不算重要就没有和您说。

Commander...Let's go meet the guy while we still have the time to spare.……那个家伙，趁现在还有喘息的时间先去会一会他吧。

KWhere are we?这里是哪里？

CommanderWe're inside the sub base. The Military has us surrounded, so we're trying to destroy the entrances to delay their advance.潜艇基地内部，我们被军方包围在里面了，现在在试图炸毁入口拖延他们的进攻时间。

KWhere's Ange?安洁呢？

CommanderWe haven't managed to contact her yet. I've sent a search party in to look for her.还没有建立联系，我已经派遣一支小队去寻找她的位置了。

KThat useless woman...没用的家伙……

CommanderIf there's nothing else, I'll be heading back to the defense line.如果没别的事我就先回防线了。

KDon't you have questions for me, Griffin Commander?格里芬的指挥官，你没有什么想问我的？

CommanderBased on previous experience, I doubt you'll give me any straight answers anyway. Said experience also tells me that you won't be giving me any so-called support either.按照我之前的经验，就算我问什么你也不会好好回答我吧。 而且同样按照我之前的经验，你也不会提供什么所谓的支援给我们。

CommanderSo let's not waste each other's time.所以，不如我们都互相节约点时间。

KI can provide fire support that'll be of actual use to both of us.我可以提供对你我真正有用的火力打击支援。

CommanderReally now? And why would the brass provide me with fire support or whatnot? It sounds as ridiculous as Yegor agreeing to shake hands with me and call it off.是么？ 那些大人物会为我提供什么火力支援，听起来好像叶戈尔立刻和我握手言和一样荒谬。

KDon't mock me with such nonsense. It's true that we're insignificant in their eyes, but things will be different if we have something of value to them.别拿那种不可能的胡话讽刺我。 在他们眼中我们确实很渺小，但是如果我们获得了他们重视的东西情况就不一样了。

CommanderWhat do you mean?怎么说？

KI need to know if Ange has completed her mission.我必须得先知道安洁有没有完成她的任务。

CommanderHer mission?任务？

KDon't play dumb with me. The name is still confidential, but you must have heard it already.别装傻了。虽然这个名字还是机密，但你肯定早就听说过了。

CommanderYou mean "William"?你指“威廉”么？

KHumph, so you DO know about him after all. We need to collect all his research data in the base and find clues that will help us verify his location. If we have that information on hand, I'll be able to convince the observers to help us. Even the slightest move on their part will be enough for us to survive this crisis.哼，果然你早就知道了。 我们需要收集他在基地中的一切研究数据，还有找到能够确认他位置的线索。 如果我们手上有这些信息，我就能想办法让那些旁观者来帮我们。 即使只是动动手指头，也够你我度过危机。

KalinaCommander! There's been a new development!指挥官！有新情况！

CommanderWhat is it?怎么了？

KalinaIt's an urgent report from the AR Team! The Military is attacking the second entrance with a type of mech that we've never seen before; they didn't fire on our forces but charged straight into the base! We can't stop them! I'm sending over the footage now!AR小队的紧急报告！ 军方有没见过的机甲正在突击第二入口，他们没和我们的梯队交火直接冲进基地内部了！ 我们挡不住他们！影像同步过来了！

The display shows giant mechs advancing at top speed, leaving their own tanks far behind them.操作显示屏上是军方阵线前方全速前进的巨大机甲，远远的将他们自己的坦克甩在后面。

CommanderWhat the fucking hell are these things?!这又是什么该死的东西！

KThose are Sinners, enhanced Assault Artillery mechs. It looks like the commander of this Military force is leading the assault in person.负罪者，强化后的强铳兵机甲，这支军方部队的指挥官应该直接带队进攻了。

CommanderSince when did the Military have mechs of this class? I've never heard of them before!军方还有这种级别的机甲么？从来没有听说过啊！

KalinaThe armored units behind them are advancing too! What should we do now?后续的装甲单位也在跟进，接下来该怎么办？！

CommanderTrigger the explosives!引爆炸药！

KalinaThey haven't all been planted yet!炸药还没有完全设置完毕！

CommanderIt doesn't matter, detonate them right now!没关系，立刻引爆炸药！

Boom! Boom! Explosions go off one after the other, shaking the base and jarring dust loose from the ceiling.轰！轰！ 不断响起的爆炸声响彻基地，天花板上的灰尘簌簌而落。

KalinaDid we stop them?拦住他们了吗？

CommanderI didn't expect them to have something else up their sleeve... Contact the AR Team!没想到他们还有后手……联系AR小队！

KalinaO...okay!好……好的……！

M4A1Commander, do you read me?指挥官，能听到么？

CommanderWhat's the situation at the entrance?入口的情况如何？

M4A1We only managed to plant half of the explosives. The entrance gate wasn't completely destroyed.炸药只设置到一半，入口大门没有完全摧毁。

CommanderForget the gate. AR Team, take the DEFY members and one HOC to pursue the mechs that entered the base. And bring Dandelion with you!不用管大门了，AR小队带上忤逆的队员和一队重装部队去追赶冲进基地内的机甲，还有把丹德莱也带上！

M4A1But the defenses of the main gate...可是正门的防御……

CommanderLet me worry about that. Make sure you stop those mechs!正门我会想办法的，一定要拦住那些机甲！

M4A1Roger, we'll head out right away.收到，我们马上行动。

The moment the transmission ends, another one comes through instantaneously.通讯结束后，突然又有新的通讯接入了。

AngeliaStill alive, Commander?还活着吗？指挥官。

KalinaMiss...Miss Ange?安……安洁小姐？

AngeliaThank goodness, so Griffin hasn't been completely wiped out yet. Squad 404 has found us and disabled the lockdown, so we can join the fight now. I heard a huge explosion just now. What's going on?太好了，看来格里芬还没有被彻底歼灭。 404小队已经找到我们并且解除了封锁，现在我们也可以加入作战了。 刚才我们听到了巨大的爆炸声，现在情况如何？

CommanderWe're holding off the Military forces at the base entrance. A team of mech units have charged into the base. I'm guessing they're Yegor and his bodyguard unit. The AR Team is moving to intercept. Hopefully you can provide some support. We couldn't completely destroy the entrance, so we'll be engaging the Military's follow-up units.我们在入口处阻击军方的部队，有一支机甲单位已经冲进基地中，猜测是叶戈尔带领的亲卫队。AR小队正在追赶阻拦，希望你能够提供协助。 我们没来得及彻底炸毁入口，之后会和军方的后续部队交火。

AngeliaIs K still alive?K还活着吗？

KI'm still in one piece, thank you very much.我活得好好的。

AngeliaThen do something so we have a chance to survive. You keep flaunting that sparkling record of yours, surely you can put it to use now, right?那就用你的办法让我们有机会活下去吧，你平时装模作样用的那些资历现在总得派上用处了吧？

KHow are things in the lab?实验室内的情况如何。

AngeliaWe've collected all the things you wanted. There are also living specimens present. I promised them that I'd get them out of here alive.所有你们想要的东西我都收集下来了，还有试验体的样本也活着，我承诺会带着她们活着离开。

KHumph. I'll think of something.哼，我会想办法的。

AngeliaCommander, please let me command the AR Team. I'll make sure I finish off that bastard Yegor once and for all.指挥官，请把AR小队的指挥权限交给我，我会想办法把叶戈尔那混蛋彻底干掉的。

CommanderUnderstood. Come back alive.明白，活着回来。

AngeliaI'll try. Ange out.我尽量，安洁完毕。

Tempering I 回火I

CommanderKalina, what's the situation?格林娜，现在情况如何？

KalinaAfter breaking through, the mechs are heading straight for...the base elevator. Looks like they're planning to descend into the lower levels of the base.

CommanderWhere the Starfish is, huh... Let Ange handle it. We can't split our forces any further. How are things at the base entrance?海星的所在地么…… 让安洁想办法吧，我们现在已经分不出更多人手了。 入口处情况呢？

KalinaThe Military's follow-up units are trying to cross the roadblocks that we blasted into place. It probably won't stop them for long. Should we counterattack?

CommanderThese are the last few echelons we have. We can't afford to lose any more. Dammit, will we have to mount a fighting retreat into the base's interior?这是我们手里最后几支梯队了，不能再损失更多了。 该死，只能往基地内退守了吗？

KYou must not fall back. We should still be able to deal with them as long as they're exposed.不能退守，他们如果暴露在外面我应该还能有办法。

CommanderI'm listening.我正在听着。

KDo you have comms equipment?还有通讯设备吗？

CommanderAll our long-range comms equipment was destroyed.远程通讯已经全被毁了。

KShort-range will do. You know that there's a Vympel unit not far away from the base, right?有短途的就可以，你应该也知道在基地外面不远处就有信号旗的部队。

CommanderI know, but will they help us?我是知道，但他们会提供帮助么？

KThat'll depend on how negotiations go. Give me the radio and tune it to UHF 73.975, frequency hopping at 111 times per second. Use encryption mode 12.那就得看怎么谈了。 通讯设备给我，调整到甚高频73.975，跳频111次每秒。加密模式第12号。

CommanderGive it to him.给他吧。

KalinaAlright, the adjustments are complete. ...Are they really going to respond?

KLet's just hope we can get through at all. This is "Waterfall", do you copy?先希望能接通吧。 这里是“瀑布”，收到请回答。

CommanderTsk... Kalina, how many combat-capable personnel do we have?啧……格林娜，我们还有多少人能够作战？

KalinaIf we push it, we can put a few echelons together, but...

CommanderUnderstood. Put me through to everyone.我明白，帮我接通大家吧。

KalinaOkay...

The command display shows the surviving Dolls. Their fine features are now blackened by the soot and dust of the battlefield. The only sound that interrupts the silence is the distant booming of the enemy's cannon fire. The Commander doesn't have to say anything. They understand what is being asked of them, yet they still return the Commander's gaze with the same old smile. The Commander closes their eyes and takes a deep breath. Then they open their eyes again and start assigning new missions and plotting new routes on the command tablet. The Dolls immediately run to their designated locations. Everything is silent, save for the distant sounds of cannon fire and the howling frigid wind. Finally, the Commander puts down the tablet. Only then do they realize that their fists are clenched so tightly that the knuckles have gone white.指挥用的屏幕中显示着仅存的人形们，她们清秀的脸上如今都挂着战场的硝烟和灰烬。 在这无言的默契中，只有敌人炮火的声音在远处响起。 指挥官什么都不用说，她们也什么都明白，还一如既往地微笑着看着指挥官。 闭上眼睛，深深地吸了一口气，再次睁开双眼，手指按下了设置新的任务和路径的指令。 人形们立即奔赴指定的位置，一切都于悄然无声中进行，炮火和寒风应和着这一刻的沉默。 放下指挥面板，指挥官才注意到双拳的关节都已经紧握到发白。

CommanderThey're buying you the time you want, K. Don't let them down.这是你要的时间，K。 不要辜负她们。

K...I won't.……好。

Cutting I 切割I

AngeM4, do you copy? I'm rushing over to the elevator. I should have command authority over you now. Are the other two members of DEFY with you?M4，能听到么？ 我正在往升降梯的位置赶去，你们现在的指挥权限已经指向我了，忤逆的另外两名队员也在你那么？

M4A1Ange? Thank goodness! The Commander's already contacted us. All the elite Dolls are headed over to your side. Dandelion is with us too.安洁？太好了！指挥官已经和我们同步过了，所有的精锐人形现在都往这边派了。 还有丹德莱也跟着我们一起来了。

AngeDandelion?丹德莱？

M4A1She's an OGAS unit. Just think of her as an Elisa who's on our side. She can control S.F. units and provide us with support.她是OGAS素体，你可以理解成我们这边的伊莱莎。 她能够控制铁血的单位为我们提供协助。

DandelionMiss Ange, there is little time to explain everything to you. All you need to know is that I will be helping you. Also, I can hear the voices of those children. You have my gratitude.安洁小姐，现在没时间解释太多，你只要知道我会为你们提供帮助即可。 还有那些孩子，我能听到她们的声音了，我向你表示感谢。

AngeI never thought a Nyto would be speaking so politely to me... I don't think anything else is going to surprise me today. Never mind. We'll strategize on the move. With the forces at hand, we might actually have a chance to do this. M4, what's your position?我从来没想过一个涅托会这么礼貌地跟我说话……今天应该不会再有更多让我惊讶的事了。 不管这么多了，边移动边想策略吧，现在我们手头的力量说不定还有胜算。 M4，报告你们小队的位置。

M4A1We're on the other side of the elevator, I'm sending you our coordinates now. The Military is headed in your direction. We'll try to move as fast as we can. Also, please be careful; it isn't just the Military and ourselves here.我们在升降梯侧面，坐标已经同步过来了。军方已经在朝你们的位置下沉，我们也会想办法尽快下来。 另外请小心，这里不只我们和军方。

AngeWhat do you mean?怎么回事？

M4A1I can sense Elisa. She's not far from here. S.F.'s remaining forces ought to be engaging the Military mechs. We can take advantage of their clash to find a window of opportunity.我感觉得到伊莱莎，她离这里不远了。 铁血剩余的力量应该会和军方的机甲撞上，我们可以利用他们之间的冲突寻找机会。

AngeS.F. also have their eyes fixed on the Starfish in the base. Be careful of M16; 404 has already fought her many times. She's sure to be in the depths of the base.铁血来这个基地也是瞄准海星，小心M16，404已经多次和她交手了，她一定也在基地的深处。

M4A1...I understand. We're all prepared for this. Also, I can faintly sense what she's doing. I'm not sure how to describe it, but she seems to be connecting to something vague and obscure.……我明白，我们都已经做好觉悟了。 而且她在做的事我也能隐约感觉到，虽然说不清那种感觉，但我能够感受到有什么模糊的东西正在连接起来。

DandelionI can sense it too. Elisa is probably trying to establish a connection with the Starfish. We don't have much time.我也感觉到了，这应该是伊莱莎和海星正在尝试连接的感觉，我们的时间不多了。

AngeYou're all just piling bad news after bad news on me. Let's deal with the most immediate problem first. We'll try to get the Yegor situation under control. M4, you head down to the lowest level of the base and deal with S.F.一个个都不能让人省心。 先解决我们眼前的问题吧，如果能控制住叶戈尔这边的局面，M4你就想办法快速进入底层去解决铁血的麻烦。

M4A1Roger. I'll prepare myself.明白，我会做好准备。

AK-12Quiet, Ange. The Military's here.安洁，安静，军方到了。

AngeOur guests must be really impatient.客人来得真快。

AK-12The AR Team is sending over information on the Sangvis forces that Dandelion has gathered so far.AR小队也将铁血的信息同步过来了，似乎是那个丹德莱侦查到的。

AngeShe's making herself useful, alright. Is S.F. also headed this way?真是好用的家伙，铁血也赶来了么？

AK-12Yup. They've brought the whole village along.没错，她们把全家老小都带来了。

AngeThen let's sit back and watch the show.我们就先等着好戏开场吧。

Thunk.咚。

The elevator suddenly makes a deafening noise as the aged metal structure screeches to a halt. The elevator's antique mechanical display refuses to move past the number "1".升降机发出巨大的声音，老旧的金属结构发出刺耳的声音。 然后老式的机械指示器停在了1的位置上。

YegorLook alive, Amber Flight. Looks like we won't be taking the elevator all the way to the bottom.琥珀各机，打起精神来。看来我们是不能直接坐到底了。

AdjutantYes, Captain!是，上尉！

The doors slowly open. Naturally, there is already a welcoming party waiting for them.闸门缓缓打开。 当然早就有人在这里静候客人的光临了。

???Welcome, humans.欢迎光临，人类们。

Two figures stand imperiously in the center of their forces, leering at the giant mechs.在队伍的正中，有两个身影正注视着面前的巨大机甲。

AgentI have brought Death to your doorstep.我把你们的死亡送到了。

JudgePlease accept your delivery!好好拿着吧！

On command, the S.F. Dolls begin shooting at the Military mechs.铁血人形随着命令将火力向着军方的机甲投射了上去。

AdjutantCaptain!上尉！

YegorAmber Flight, cover me. I'll crush them!琥珀各机，掩护，我来突破他们！

AdjutantYes, sir!是！

Polishing 打磨

On the battlefield.战场上

The melee in the built-up area near the base entrance has been going on for the past 15 minutes. Every structure available has been used as cover, and the Dolls have blown up building after building in an attempt to block routes. As they do their utmost to stop the enemy's advance, they are also searching for a chance to turn everything around. The objective of this skirmish is the railway passage at the entrance. However, the past two Military offensives did not succeed. The defending Dolls have quickly learned how to fight the Military during the previous battles. In addition, Dolls do not fear, and they do not tire. Other than their simulated emotions, they do not display any negative reactions. The advantage of being able to carry out orders under any circumstances soon becomes evident. Meanwhile, morale on the other side is starting to plummet. None of the soldiers expected to pay so dearly for fighting against civilian Dolls from a PMC.入口外城区的混战已经持续了一刻钟。 每个能够利用的建筑物，都被当作了掩体，人形们不断将房屋炸毁来试图阻挡道路。 一边在竭尽全力阻止对方前进，另一边则在寻找一切突破的机会。 争夺的关键是入口处的轨道通道。然而军方部队两次的进攻都不顺利。 防御的人形在之前的作战中迅速地学会了与军方交火的战术，而且人形并不会恐惧，也不会疲劳，任何模拟情绪以外的负面反应都不会出现，她们不管在什么情况下都能执行命令的长处开始显现出来。 而另外一边士兵的士气开始严重下滑，他们谁都没有想到面对这些承包商的民用人形会付出如此大的代价。

Armored Unit CommanderHaven't we seized the passage yet?!入口前通道还没有拿下来吗？

Armored Unit OfficerWe've lost too many of our infantry, and we can't push in with automatons alone. There's rubble everywhere, so the attacking forces can't deploy their firepower and our vehicles can't get in.步兵单位减员太严重了，只靠自动化人形推进不进去。 到处都是废墟，进攻部队的火力施展不开，载具也开不进去。

Armored Unit CommanderPizdets, can't we request another round of shelling?该死，不能再用重炮轰击一轮么？

Armored Unit OfficerIt's too close to the base entrance. If we miss and destroy it by accident, we'll be playing into Griffin's hands. We can't let ourselves be stalled here any longer; we need to catch up to Captain Yegor ASAP. Let's go for another charge. This is Zircon to Hematite. Slow your attack on the right flank for the moment and maintain pressure on the front. Over.离入口通道的距离太近了，如果射偏把入口击毁了就正中格里芬的下怀了。 我们得尽快跟上叶戈尔上尉的位置，不能继续被堵在这里。 再进行一次冲击吧。 锆石呼叫赤铁矿，暂缓进攻右翼，保持正面压制。完毕。

Military OfficerHematite copies.赤铁矿收到。

Armored Unit CommanderBut the path on the left flank is blocked. Are we going to force our way through?但是左翼的道路被封住了，要强行突破吗。

The officer does not reply. He simply gets back inside the cockpit.军官没有回答，只是坐进了驾驶室里。

Armored Unit OfficerSecond platoon, follow my vehicle. The rest of you, break through on the left flank.二排跟上我车。其余全体准备从左翼突破。

Armored Unit CommanderYes, sir!是！

On Griffin's front. M1 Garand's team has made use of a half-collapsed building to seal off the frontal approach. They are holding the final defense line along with one of the few remaining HOCs. This HOC's equipment was long since destroyed, so the members are fighting alongside the others Dolls with small arms whose owners have perished.格里芬这侧。 依托着一栋半塌的建筑封锁住了正面道路的是M1加兰德的小队，她们和仅存的重装小队一起死守最后的防线。 这支重装小队的装备早已被摧毁，她们使用着已经没有主人的轻武器和战术人形们一起作战。

SV-98There's a half dozen infantrymen trying to approach us using cover! You can hit them from your position! We're leaving them to you!有6个步兵想借着掩体靠近我们，你们的位置可以射击他们！交给你们的小组了！

M1918Got it! Our teammates are already opening fire! Garand, the enemy Typhons haven't made a move yet! This is our chance to plant more explosives!知道了！我们的队员已经开火了！ 加兰德，敌人的提丰还没有动作，现在有机会再去设置一次炸药！

M1 GarandRoger!了解！

A machine gun rattles in the distance, followed by more scattered fire. Garand and her team dart nimbly from cover to cover, trying to plant a simple IED on the road again.远处响起了机枪的声音，随后便是杂乱的交火。加兰德的小队灵活地在掩体间穿插移动，试图重新在道路上设置简易爆炸装置。

M1 GarandWhat a bunch of cowards! Are you too afraid to come at us head-on?!真是群懦夫，连正面冲锋的勇气都已经没有了吗！

Garand pokes her head out and flips off the enemies while she's at it. Naturally, this causes bullets to rain down on her position, so she hurriedly ducks back inside.加兰德朝外面看去，顺便还伸出了挑衅的手势。 当然子弹立即像暴雨般打向她的位置，她吓得一哆嗦赶紧缩回头去。

M1 GarandHey, I was just mouthing off! Don't take everything so seriously! Type 88, are you done planting the explosives yet?我就说说的，你们不要当真啊！ 真是的，汉阳造，炸药布置怎么还没好？

Type 88Almost!好了，马上就快了！

M1 GarandIf you don't hurry up, we'll have to blow ourselves up along with the enemies!再不设置好我们就只能在这里自爆了！

Type 88Quit rushing me! My usual job is sweeping the floors, not planting high explosive charges!别再催了！ 我的本职工作是扫地又不是设置烈性炸药的！

M1 GarandI don't usually go shooting at tanks with a firestick either! Stop complaining and remember to double the delay on the manual detonator, we want them to get halfway in before we blow them up!我的本职工作也不是用烧火棍和坦克对射啊！ 别抱怨了，手动引信记得要双倍延时，我们要在他们车队开到一半的时候把他们炸上天！

Type 88Relax, this is the third time you've said it!放心，你都说了第三遍了！

M1918M1 Garand, the enemy's approaching you again, you have to hurry!加兰德，敌人又开始朝你们靠近了，你们得赶快了！

M1 GarandGot it, we'll be going right away!好，马上就走！

BOOM! Just then, an explosion erupts from the plaza. Smoke billows out from the entrance of a distant workshop.轰！ 就在这时，广场侧传来了一声爆炸声。 烟雾吞噬了远处厂房的入口。

M1918Are they coming from the right again??! Springfield! What happened? What's the situation?右边又来了么！春田！怎么回事？情况如何？

SpringfieldThe enemy armored units are trying to use the wreckage to circle around us! They're planning to force their way to the entrance from on top of the rubble!敌人装甲借着残骸绕过来了，他们想强行从废墟上开过去进入入口！

M1918Can you hold out?还撑得住么？

SpringfieldThere's too many of them. They might try to break though our suppressive fire!敌人数量太多，可能会有单位冲破我们这边的火力封锁！

M1918Got it, Garand's team will come to back you up! Got that, Garand? Once you've planted the explosives, get over to Springfield ASAP, they can't hold out much longer!明白，加兰德的小队会来支援你们！ 加兰德听到了么！ 完成设置后赶紧往春田那边靠拢，她们快撑不住了！

M1 GarandI know, I know! We'll be heading over right away!知道了，知道了！我们马上过去！

Meanwhile. In the temporary Griffin command post.与此同时 格里芬临时指挥处。

KalinaCommander, the Military has launched a fourth offensive and Springfield's team has almost been wiped out. The other teams are doing their best to plug the opening, and they say they can still keep going. What should we do, Commander?指挥官，军方开始第四次冲击了，春田的小组已经快被打完了。 其他小队正在尽可能填补缺口，各小队报告她们还能坚持下去。 怎么办指挥官？

CommanderUm...嗯……

The Commander isn't sure how to respond. With the battle situation being what it is, there's no point in relaying tactics and commands from the rear anymore. Even if the Dolls hold out to the last, the Military is still getting closer and closer, and there's no news about the fire support that they're counting on.指挥官此时也不知道该怎么回应，战况胶着到这种程度，从后方给予的战术和指挥已经没有任何用处了。 即使人形殊死抵抗，军方还是在一步一步靠近过来，而指望的火力支援到现在都还消无声息。

The Commander looks up at K, and K looks back at the Commander. Neither of them says anything. The Commander knows that other than waiting for Vympel to contact them, there is nothing K can do.指挥官抬头望着K，K也回望着指挥官。 什么都没有说。 指挥官也明白，K除了等待信号旗发来联络外，其他也都无能为力。

CommanderHave our forces hold out for another 5 minutes.再让各梯队坚持5分钟。

KalinaYes, Commander!是！

On the battlefield.战场上。

M1 GarandCome on over, I'll cover you!我们来掩护，快点过来！

Bullets sweep the Military automatons that are trying to charge into the Dolls' cover.子弹扫射在从正面尝试冲进人形们掩体内的军方人形身上。

SpringfieldYup! She's the last one.嗯！这是最后一个了。

Springfield supports a wounded Lee Enfield as they make their way across the open space back into their defensive position.春田架着受伤的李·恩菲尔德，快速地从开阔空间中往回跑去。

M1 GarandSuppressive fire! Cover them as they approach us! Throw all the mortar bombs!压制射击，掩护她们过来！ 把迫击炮弹都扔出去！

The HOC Dolls that have lost their mortar launchers throw the shells out from cover like they were hand grenades. Although the fragments can't destroy the Military automatons, the explosions disrupt their assault formation. The suppressive fire which follows halts their advance in its tracks.失去了迫击炮的重装人形们将炮弹像手雷一般抛出掩体，虽然破片造成的杀伤不足以击毁这些军方人形，但是爆炸的冲击将它们的突击队形打乱，随着人形们的压制射击进攻又被顶了回去。

M1 GarandDammit, I'm out. Does anyone have any .30-06 ammo left?该死，我子弹打完了，谁还有子弹么？

Type 88I don't! I'm almost out of 8 mm myself!没有！我的也快打完了！

M1 GarandLook out! Incoming!小心，敌人火炮！

Boom! As if to validate Garand's words, a cannon shell strikes the building she's in and leaves a large hole in the wall.轰！ 就像是要证明加兰德的话一样，一发炮弹直击这栋建筑上，在墙壁上留下一个大洞。

After that, more bullets come in through the hole that's been made.然后是更多的子弹顺着空洞泼洒进来。

M1 GarandMiss Springfield! Fall back with the wounded personnel! Leave this place to us!春田姐，你带着伤员先后撤，这里交给我们！

SpringfieldBut your ammo...可是你们的弹药……

M1 GarandWe'll be waiting to enjoy your coffee when we get back, and even if we don't have ammo, we still have our bayonets. Everyone! Fix bayonets!等我们回去后还等着春田姐的咖啡喝呢，而且没有弹药我们还有刺刀在。 全员，上刺刀！

Type 88How about a dadao?大刀也算吧？

M1 GarandUse your teeth if you want! Anything works as long as it can stop them!用牙都行！只要能挡住他们，用什么都可以！

Hanyang Type 88 grips her dadao in her hands and ignites the thrusters on her back.汉阳造将大刀拿在了手里，背后的推进器也开始点燃起来。

M1 GarandYou look like you could take on an entire division by yourself.你的样子看起来再来一个师都不成问题。

Type 88But of course!那当然！

M1 GarandAlright, leave this place to us, Miss Springfield! Besides, the casualties will only get in the way if they stay here. Wait a minute, emergency comms?好了，春田姐这里交给我们吧！ 不然伤员留在这里也只会碍手碍脚的。 等下，紧急通讯？

Type 88New orders from the Commander?指挥官的新命令么？

M1 GarandOur defense mission is over. The Commander wants everyone to fall back to the base immediately!防御任务已经完成，指挥官要我们所有人立即向基地撤退！

Type 88Has help come at last? I wish I could watch these bastards get blown sky high with my own eyes.支援终于要来了么！ 真想亲眼看着这些混蛋被炸到天上去！

M1 GarandThat's enough nonsense out of you. Let's get out of here before we get blasted into scrap!好了别废话，趁着你还没被打成废铁我们赶紧走吧！

Almost at the same time, at the temporary command post inside the base.基地内临时指挥部，几乎同时。

The Commander nervously watches the indicators showing the position of each Doll as they maintain the tenuous balance of the defense line. Kalina assigns resources and adjusts comm frequencies without a pause. All this is interrupted by a burst of static from the radio in front of K. For a moment, everyone freezes. All eyes are on the handset that K is holding. K immediately puts the call through and listens to the voice coming from the handset with bated breath.指挥官紧张地看着各个人形的位置，维持着岌岌可危的防线最后的平衡。 格琳娜不断地帮助人形协调资源和调整通讯线路。 而这一切，被在K面前的电台的噪声打断了。 瞬间所有人的动作都停了下来，视线都集中在K手上的通讯器上。 K立即接通了联系，屏住呼吸开始听着话筒里传来的声音。

Cobalt-13This is Cobalt-13. Waterfall, respond. Over.这里是钴13，呼叫瀑布。完毕。

KWaterfall copies, go ahead.瀑布收到，请讲。

Cobalt-13Moscow has granted permission for the air strike and the bombers are in attack position. You have five minutes to direct fire. Please send the coordinates as soon as possible. Over.莫斯科已下达空袭许可，轰炸机已在攻击位置就位，你有五分钟的火力窗口，请尽快指示坐标。完毕。

KWaterfall copies. Thank you. Please hold. Over.瀑布收到，感谢，请稍等。完毕。

K exhales heavily, as though a great weight has been lifted off him. He turns to look at the Commander.K深深地吐出了一口气，就像如释重负般的，他将目光转向指挥官。

KGive me the attack coordinates.告诉我攻击位置。

CommanderHave them attack a 200-meter radius from the intersection of Highway 183 and the railway station to the base entrance.183公路与火车站交界口，到基地入口200米宽度。

The Commander's reply is instantaneous.毫无犹豫的答复。

KThat's danger close... Are you sure?太近了……你确定吗？

CommanderWe have no choice.我们没有选择。

K nods. He understands that this is a very difficult decision to make.K点了点头，他明白这个决定是非常艰难的。

KHave your Dolls fall back straight away. I'll try to buy you as much time as I can.让你的人形立即撤退，我会尽力争取时间的。

The Commander nods and issues the order to the echelons with Kalina's help.指挥官点了点头，和格琳娜同时向梯队发出了命令。

KThis is Waterfall. Bombing coordinates are all surface targets at 8472 6543. Over.这里是瀑布， 投弹位置，8472 6543 覆盖所有地面目标。完毕。

Cobalt-13This is Cobalt-13, we can see Griffin forces within the blast radius. Please verify. Over.这里是钴13，我们看到格里芬的部队所处位置在爆炸范围内，请确认。完毕。

Kalina nods to the Commander. The Commander pauses, then holds up two fingers to K.格琳娜向指挥官点了点头，指挥官停顿了一下，向K伸出了两根手指。

KAffirmative. We will evacuate the location within two minutes. Requesting danger close bombing. Over.瀑布明白，我方将会两分钟内撤离阵地，请求危险距离投弹。完毕。

Cobalt-13Acknowledged. The bombing will commence in 120 seconds. Good luck. Cobalt-13 out.钴13明白，120秒后投弹，祝你们好运，通讯完毕。

Far in the distance, on the battlefield.战场远处。

Vympel CommanderI have to hand it to those Dolls for sticking it out for so long. I don't know if I should praise their resilience or roast our troops for degenerating into such an unsightly state. They want to take on the West when they can't even beat a bunch of toys. No wonder the brass wants to be rid of them.真亏这些人形能够坚持到现在。 真的不知道是要称赞人形的韧性，还是抱怨我军的战斗力已经差到这种地步了啊。 连一堆玩具都战胜不了，还整天想着和西方博弈，难怪上面要放弃他们。

Vympel CommissarIs Griffin still holding out? Please let me take a look, Comrade Major.格里芬居然还在坚持吗，请给我看下。少校同志。

The Vympel officer hands the binoculars to his commissar. Through the binoculars, he sees that the thoroughly wrecked interior of the base and fires everywhere. Explosions erupt over and over again from the Griffin positions. The smoke grenades that the Dolls have thrown out almost completely obscure all vision, but he can be sure that they are falling back to the entrance at full speed.信号旗的军官将望远镜转交给了他的政委。 在望远镜里，基地内已经遍地废墟，到处都在燃烧。 格里芬的阵地上不断的响起连续的爆炸声，那些人形扔出的一堆烟雾弹几乎封锁了视野，但是可以确定的是他们正在全速往入口内撤去。

Vympel CommanderWhat do you think, Comrade Commissar?你怎么看，政委同志？

Vympel CommissarIt is most impressive. They are tenacious - tenacious enough to alter our mission. Still, they are nothing more than a civilian PMC. It's only a matter of time before they're all wiped out.令人钦佩，非常顽强，顽强到已经快影响到我们的任务了。 不过不管怎么说只是民间承包商，她们全军覆没也只是时间问题。

Vympel CommanderRight, turn all the cameras off.嗯，那就把所有摄像头都关了吧。

Vympel CommissarDidn't they say they wouldn't be providing any support? Did the Chief change his mind?不是说不会提供任何支援么？ 局长改变主意了？

Vympel CommanderMoscow already sanctioned the air strike. The objective is to exterminate all the surface forces of the rebel army.莫斯科已经下达了空袭许可，目标是消灭所有的叛军地面部队。

Vympel CommissarAnd they're doing this just to save a single PMC?就为了挽救一个承包商？

Vympel CommanderIt seems Statesec has an arrangement with the Germans, and the agent they sent found something that the brass is interested in.我们的安全局似乎和德国方面有着什么约定，而且派进去的特工找到了大人物们关心的东西。

Vympel CommissarThat's an excellent political reason. But in that case, won't the evidence we're recording be marred?非常充分的政治理由。 但这样我们拍摄的证据不就有瑕疵了么？

Vympel CommanderThanks to the Dolls' fortitude, we've captured enough footage of their limbs being blasted in all directions. We can let the bigshots in the central authority worry about the rest.你得感谢那些人形的坚守，前面那些肢体横飞的画面已经够用了。剩下的事就让中央的大人物们去操心就可以了。

Vympel CommissarUnderstood. I've ordered all squads to switch off the surface and drone cameras.明白，已经命令小队将地面和无人机的摄像头全都关闭了。

Two minutes later, a point of light rapidly descends, striking the last Military armored train. A massive fireball swells up, consuming the gigantic rail vehicle as if it were nothing but a toy and throwing countless fragments into the sky. Such is the effect of a surface detonation of the 1,500kg cruise missile originally intended for ripping open the underground structure of the submarine base. More points of light splinter mid-air into a zillion little motes that finally hit the ground. A series of explosions can be heard from the base, which is completely engulfed by smoke and dust.两分钟后，一个光点急速降下，命中了军方最后一辆装甲列车，巨大的火球腾空而起，庞大的装甲列车此刻却像是一节玩具一样被火焰吞噬，无数的碎片随着爆炸飞到了空中。 那是原本为掀开这个基地地下结构而准备的1500公斤的航弹在地面爆炸所特有的效果。 随后而来更多的光点在空中骤然分裂，然后在地面上形成了无数个小光点。连续的爆炸声不断地从基地里传来，爆炸扬起的灰尘把整个基地外围都笼罩了。

The Vympel officer puts down his binoculars and stuffs them back into his backpack. There's no need to verify the detonation of those terminal-sensitive projectiles.信号旗的军官放下了望远镜，塞进了自己的背包内。那些末敏弹爆炸的场景，自己已经不需要去确认了。

Vympel CommanderLet's get ready. It's about time to wrap this up.让我们的人做好准备，差不多该是收工的时候了。

Vympel CommissarUnderstood, Comrade Major.明白，少校同志。

Silvering I 镀银I

At the Griffin temporary command post. The bombing sounds like it will never end. Their bunker stands in silence, trembling along with the rest of the world.格里芬临时指挥处。 轰炸仿佛无休无止。 掩体沉默地矗立着，随大地一起颤抖。

CommanderHow many Dolls made it back?有多少人形回来了？

KalinaOnly half of them. They're pinned down by enemy pursuers and can't shake them off!只剩一半人了，她们被追进来的军方部队咬住了，现在没法回来！

CommanderWhat a bunch of clingy bastards...真是纠缠不休……

KalinaOur forces are scattered and the base is in chaos...大家都被打散了，现在基地里情况一片混乱……

CommanderIntercept them from our bunker! We mustn't let them link up with Yegor!依托掩体阻击他们，不能让他们和叶戈尔汇合！

AngeliaWhat happened? I heard the explosions from over here.发生了什么？我在这里都听到了爆炸声。

CommanderWe had the air force conduct a bombing run. The Military's surface forces should be finished, but some of them managed to flee into the base.我们叫来了空军轰炸，军方的地面部队应该完蛋了，但是还有一部分敌人冲进基地里来了。

AngeliaTsk... Yegor's mechs are a pain in the ass. Fortunately they're busy fighting S.F. right now. I have a plan to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, but I'll need your help.啧……叶戈尔的机甲很棘手，好在他们正和铁血纠缠。 我有一个办法一口气消灭他们，需要你的帮助。

CommanderGo ahead.讲吧。

AngeliaI infiltrated this sub base by sea. There are four valves which lead to the ocean. If we can pin down their mechs on the first floor and blow all four valves at the same time, we can drown them in seawater and Yegor will be fish food. I'll send you the location of the seawater valves. They're all located on the surface level of the base. If we're defeated here, then please blow the valves. 404 is heading towards you right now; they should be able to give you some assistance.我在渗透进这个潜艇基地的时候是从水路进来的，连通潜艇通道的是4个通海阀。 只要我们能把它们的机甲拖在基地第一层，同时炸掉这四个通海阀。海水就可以送叶戈尔去喂鱼了。 我把通海阀的位置发给你，位置都在基地地上结构。如果我们这边作战失败，就拜托你引爆通海阀，404小队现在正在朝你们移动，她们也能提供帮助。

CommanderWhat about you?那你怎么办？

AngeliaWe can't let the enemy have their way, no matter who they are.我们不能让敌人得逞，不管哪一个。

Commander... I understand.…… 明白了。

The transmission ends.通讯结束了。

KalinaCommander, what are you doing? Why are you putting on your bulletproof vest...? Wait, you're taking your backpack and pistol too? Hang on, isn't that...指挥官您在做什么？ 怎么把防弹背心也拿出来了…… 等等，手枪和背包？这不是……

CommanderAs you can see, it's the one Kryuger gave me.如你所见，克鲁格给我的。

KalinaI'm not talking about the gun. Where are you going?我不是说枪的事，您要去做什么？

CommanderYou heard Angelia.你听到安洁说的话了。

KalinaBut the Dolls haven't returned yet! You can't go in on your own! It's too dangerous!可是现在人形们还没法回来，您自己出去太危险了！

CommanderI know. That's why I'm not going alone. K, take this.我知道，所以不是只有我去做这件事。 K，拿着这个。

KRemote-detonated explosives?遥控炸药？

CommanderIt shouldn't be a problem, right, Major Schwaben? I trust this mission should be a piece of cake for you.没问题吧，凯恩少校，这点任务应该难不倒你吧。

KPlease, I've had more training than you've had meals.我受过的训练比你吃过的饭还多。

K sneers as he loads the explosives into his backpack. Then he picks up his weapon and gives it a quick check.K一脸不屑地将炸药装进背包，检查起武器。

CommanderI'm not the one who got KO-ed before the fighting even started.还没开打就昏过去的人可不是我啊。

KI don't cower behind Dolls all the time, unlike you.我可不像你一样每次都躲在人形后面。

KalinaWait... Don't tell me you're going to...等一下……你们不会准备……

CommanderYup, that's exactly what we're going to do. Good thing I didn't skip a single tactical training lesson. These are the coordinates we received from Ange. We'll take two each. You can handle it, right?就是这个准备，幸好平时的战术培训我一堂课都没拉下。 这是安洁标识的位置，一人负责两个，没问题吧。

KGot it.收到。

KalinaWait a minute... Wait a minute, both of you! Commander, I'll...!给我等一下……请给我等一下！ 指挥官，我也！

CommanderYou'll what?我也……？

KalinaGive me one too.也给我一个。

CommanderWhat are you talking about?你说什么？

She holds out her hand and repeats what she interrupted me to say.她伸出手，大声地重复着刚刚打断我的话语。

KalinaGive me one too! I'll deal with one site for you!给我一个！我来帮指挥官负担一个！

CommanderNo. You stay here.不，你留在这里。

This logistics officer who always has a brilliant smile does not belong on such a dangerous battlefield. Yet she has gone through hell and high water by my side more times than I could count. I cannot and WILL NOT ask her to endanger herself for me again.这个总是笑得很灿烂的后勤官原本并不属于这种危险的战场，却一次次陪我出生入死。 我不能，也无法要求她再一次为我冒险了。

CommanderIf any Dolls come back, someone will need to give them orders and resupply them. Someone has to man the command post. This is a very important duty. Do you understand, Kalin?如果有人形回来，需要有人为她们发布指令和补给。 必须有人坚守在指挥部的位置上，这是非常重要的责任。 明白了吗，格琳？

KalinaI...我……

CommanderThis is an order. I need someone to help me gather up the surviving Dolls.这是命令，我还需要人帮我把幸存的人形集合起来。

She holds my gaze in silence. Then she nods solemnly. I can see the tears welling up in her eyes, but all I can do is turn away and feign nonchalance.她沉默了，看着我。然后郑重地点了点头。 我看到她眼里的泪光，但我只能若无其事地背过身去，装作什么也没有注意到。

CommanderAlright, let's head out. But make sure we all come back alive!好，出发吧。但都要活着回来！

Virtual Image Reforging 虚像重铸

... In front of the main elevator.…… 主升降机前。

Boom! Boom! The shockwaves from the explosions can be felt even deep below the base. However, that doesn't stop the Sangvis Dolls and the mechs from killing each other. Countless S.F. units block the mechs' advance.轰！轰！ 爆炸的震动声甚至在基地深处都感觉得到。 然而铁血人形和机甲的厮杀并没有因此停止，无数的铁血人形阻碍着机甲前进的步伐。

YegorTerra to Zircon. Zircon, do you copy? Zircon, do you copy?!这里是大地，呼叫锆石，锆石请回答！锆石请回答！

AdjutantI can't contact Hematite either, Captain.也联系不上赤铁矿，上尉。

YegorDamn air force, have they already made their move?该死的空军，这就动手了吗？

AdjutantCaptain... Let us handle these S.F. units. Please break out of the encirclement. We don't have much time left.上尉……这些铁血我们来处理。请您突围吧。我们时间不多了。

AdjutantYou need to complete the mission for the sake of our comrades.为了已经牺牲的同僚们，您还有必须要完成的任务。

YegorAmber 2, Amber 3, you're under the command of Amber 1. Crush the enemy and link up with me ASAP!琥珀2，琥珀3 听从琥珀1指挥，击溃敌军尽快跟我汇合！

PilotYes, sir!是！

AdjutantAll Amber units! Depress your missiles and fire at 3 o'clock! Clear a path for the Captain!琥珀全体，导弹低角度覆盖3点钟方向，为上尉开路！

JudgeStop them!拦住他们！

The S.F. Dolls rush towards them at maximum speed, attempting to fence off the enemy. However, dozens of missiles explode among the Sangvis Dolls, forcing open a path among them. Yegor's mech rides the shockwave of the explosion as it surges out at top speed. The only one who can stand in his way now is Judge.铁血的人形以最快的速度冲了上去，尝试挡住敌人。 然而无数的导弹在铁血人形中引爆，硬生生地炸开了一条道路。 叶戈尔的机甲以最快的速度在爆炸的余波中冲出，还能站在他前方阻挡着的只剩下法官本身了。

YegorThis is my final gift for you! Take it, puppets!这是送给你们最后的礼物，拿着吧！人偶们！

There is no need to aim and certainly no need to slow down. The mech hits the tiny Doll at full velocity. Judge is sent flying like a rag doll and crashes heavily into the wall of the passage.不需要瞄准，更不需要减速，只是将全速开动的机甲冲击在这个娇小的人形身上。 法官便像是一个玩具人偶一样飞了出去，摔在通道的墙壁上。

AgentJudge!法官！

AdjutantWhere are you looking, Doll?!在看哪里呢？人形！

AgentUgh!唔！

The Sinner's plasma cannon begins to glow.负罪者机甲的离子主炮闪烁起来。

However, a shell explodes in front of the cockpit before it can fire.然而在发射之前，一发炮弹抢先在机甲的驾驶舱前爆炸了。

M4 wields the firing platform that she received from M16 as she stands at a high vantage point.通道的高处，M4举着那个从M16手中得到的火力平台。

M4A1Ange, we're currently engaging them in battle. Our weapons can't damage these mechs at all, but we can just about slow them down!安洁，我们这边已经开始交火了！ 我们的武器基本无法对这些机甲造成伤害，只能尽全力阻止他们行动！

AngeAlright. We'll stick to the plan and split them up before destroying them piecemeal. We still have a chance to win!好的，按照计划把他们分隔开逐个击破，我们还有胜利的希望！

M4A1Understood! I'll try to draw those wingmen off!明白，我想办法把那些僚机引开！

M4 SOPMOD IIDie!去死吧！

ST AR-15Aim for the legs and the cockpit!优先攻击腿部和驾驶舱！

RO635Got it!知道了！

M4A1Ange, go after Yegor! Leave this place to us!安洁！去追叶戈尔，这里交给我们！

AngeGot it! 12! 94! With me!明白！ 12！94跟上！

Ange picks up her handset and shouts into it.安洁抓起通讯器喊着。

AngeRPK-16! Head straight to the second level! Yegor's broken through the encirclement!RPK16！直接下第二层！叶戈尔突破包围了！

Elsewhere, M4's heavy-firepower shell might not have penetrated the cockpit of the mech, but it almost caused the mech itself to stall out. The officer piloting it understands that he's positioned very badly - his machine is caught in the perfect spot for a pincer attack from the Griffin ambushers. They must have identified him as the one in command here to have opted for this maneuver.另一边，被M4的重火力直接击中的机甲虽然没有被击穿驾驶舱，却差点造成停机。 军官明白，现在自己位置很糟，伏击的格里芬恰好可以夹击自己的机体。 而她们是认定了自己是指挥者才这么做的。

AdjutantAmber 2, cover me! We'll pull back to the elevator and regroup!琥珀2 ，掩护，撤回升降机内重整位置！

PilotYes, sir!是！

Amber 1 evades several grenades fired at its legs.琥珀1的机体躲过几发朝着腿部飞来的榴弹。

Just as they're about to enter the elevator, there is a massive explosion. A blinding glow of blue-white light engulfs the location where the elevator should have been. The mech is thrown high into the air, then crashes heavily back to the ground.正要进入升降机的瞬间，巨大的爆炸发生了。 蓝色的光芒吞噬了原本是升降机的位置，机体被高高抛起，然后重重地砸在地面。

???Did they all perish in the end? You can't count on S.F. for anything.终于都完蛋了么？铁血可真是一点点都靠不住啊。

RO635Is that...难道……

RO turns, and the stiff look on M4's face confirms her suspicion. The one who spoke is none other than...RO回过头，M4凝固的表情证明了自己的猜想。 那个声音的主人，正是她。

???It's been a while, my friends.久等了，诸位。

Beneath the bluish radiance, the white-haired Doll finally appears before her former teammates.在蓝色的辉光下，那个白色头发的人形终于出现在她旧日同僚的面前。

M16A1We meet at last, Lunasia.终于到了可以见面的时候了，露尼西亚。

Foam Stabilization EX 稳泡EX

Please give me a little more time if you can. I want to save you. Tip 1 - As long as you're patient, even the closed heliports will open someday. Tip 2 - Certain named units have various status effects on them. Special nodes might end up being helpful.如果可以，请再多给我一点时间，因为，我想拯救你。 Tip 1：关闭的机场，只要有耐心，也总会有开放的一天。 Tip 2：部分带名称的单位存在多种状态，特殊的路径点也许可以提供帮助。

Observable Limits I 可观测极限I

On the first floor of the submarine base. The skirmish inside the base is still going on. The Military mechs are forced down the elevator shaft by M16's attacks, and M16 jumps down after them. The actinic blue light shining in the shaft of the destroyed main elevator grows brighter, and the tremors from the explosions cause the Dolls to stagger.基地一层。 基地内的混战还在继续。军方的机甲被M16的攻击逼下了电梯井，随后M16也跟着跳了下去。 损毁的主升降机井下闪烁的蓝色辉光越来越亮，爆炸带来的震荡让几个人形都摇晃了起来。

DandelionLadies, a new transmission from the Commander. In five minutes, the Commander will detonate the sea valves, so we cannot remain here. Also, 404 has sent a distress signal. The Commander is trapped near the sea valves and needs help in getting clear.各位，指挥官的通讯信息已经同步了，五分钟后指挥官会引爆通海阀，这里不能再继续待下去了。 另外404发来求救信号，指挥官被困在通海阀附近，需要撤离协助。

RO635So it's time for the last resort, huh. What now, leader?到最终手段的时候了么。 队长……该怎么办？

M4A1Everyone, withdraw to the upper levels and find a way to rescue the Commander.全员撤回上层，想办法去营救指挥官。

M4 SOPMOD IIBut...but...16 is still down there!可……可是……16姐还在下面！

M4A1I'll find her. The rest of you, take the Commander to a safe place and wait for me.我会去找她，你们先把指挥官带到安全的地方等我。

ST AR-15Are you sure? But you'll be down there by yourself...你确定么？ 光靠你一个人的话……

M4A1None of you can withstand 16's OGAS attacks. And besides... You know that it's not firepower we need when dealing with her.你们无法对抗16姐的OGAS攻击，而且……你明白的，面对她我们需要的并不是火力。

RO635The elevator won't last much longer. If you go down, you'll have a hard time getting back up.升降梯已经快支撑不住了，如果你下去了很难再上来了。

M4A1I'm not going there to die. Have faith, I'll bring 16 back.我不是去送死的。希望你们能够相信我，我会带着16姐回来。

ST AR-15... Since you've already set your mind to it, we won't waste any more of your time. Hurry down there and bring that asshole back.…… 既然你这么说了，我们就不再浪费你的时间了。 赶紧下去把那个混蛋带回来吧。

M4 SOPMOD III'm sure M4 can do it!M4的话一定做得到的！

M4A1Yeah. RO, take care of everyone.嗯，RO，把大家照顾好。

RO635Got it, leader. We'll be waiting for you to return.明白队长，等着你回来。

M4A1Yup. I'll be right back.嗯，我去去就来。

After receiving their orders, the AR Team rushes to the Commander's position. Meanwhile, M4 peers down the elevator shaft when she suddenly feels Dandelion's consciousness return to her neural cloud.收到命令的AR小队迅速离开奔向指挥官的位置。 而M4望了望电梯井，她感觉到丹德莱的意识在回到她的心智中。

M4A1Dandelion...丹德莱……

DandelionI think I should be with you at a time like this.我想这个时候我还是得陪着你。

M4A1Tell me what you can perceive.告诉我只有你能感知到的信息吧。

DandelionConnection density is spiking. Vast quantities of data are flooding in. I believe that Starfish isn't just showing signs of being activated — it has already been activated.连接密度在急剧上升。 信息正在大量地流入，我想海星不是有启动的迹象，而是已经被启动了。

M4A1So is our mission a failure?我们的任务失败了么？

DandelionElisa isn't able to truly enter the network which is linked to the Source yet. She's missing something. So strictly speaking, we haven't failed yet, and the outside world shouldn't be able to determine that Starfish has been activated. Also, the Starfish activation has increased the connection density of OGAS, which allows me to see more things. If we get closer, I'll be able to find my way into M16's, or even Elisa's neural cloud.那个伊莱莎还没能真正进入与本源相连的网络中，她还缺少了什么。 所以正确来说我们还没有失败，外界应该还无法判断海星的启动情况。 而且海星的启动让OGAS的连接密度增加了，我可以看到更多的东西了。 再更靠近一些，我就能融入那个M16，甚至是伊莱莎的心智内。

M4A1Can we stop them remotely? Tell them to get to safety, at least.能远程阻止她们么？ 至少先让她们回到安全的地方。

DandelionI can't make any promises, but at least we'll know what they're up to.我不能保证，但至少可以知道她们到底想做什么。

M4A1Understood. Do your best.明白，尽你的全力吧。

In front of the elevator. Under the cover of the Sangvis Dolls, M16 nimbly slips into the blind spot of a mech and stuffs a grenade into its joint. She evades the mechanical foot that seeks to crush her and leaps out from behind the mech.升降机前。 M16在铁血人形的掩护下，灵活地钻进了一台机甲下部的死角里，将一枚手雷塞进了机甲关节处。 躲开想要踩踏自己的动力足后，一下飞身从机甲背后跃出。

Boom— There is an explosion. The mech shudders, then lists to one side.轰—— 伴随着一声爆炸，机甲的动作微微一缓，向侧面歪了下去。

M16A1...Still not enough?……还不够吗？

PilotAmber-3's movements are impeded.琥珀3动力足受损。

AdjutantHang in there. Suppress the enemy ahead. I'll cover you.坚持住，压制正面敌人，我来掩护。

PilotYes, sir!是！

The plasma cannon blasts the place where M16 was standing a second ago. However, she is far more agile than the mech and avoids the shot. The adjutant's mech uses this opportunity to position itself in front of its fallen comrade.离子炮轰击在M16上一秒所站的位置上。 然而她的动作却比机甲的灵活得多，躲开了这一击。 副官驾驶的机甲以此机会挡在了他倒下的同僚面前。

PilotEmergency repairs on Amber-3 are complete!琥珀3紧急处理完成！

AdjutantHold off the enemies behind us! I'll handle things here!拦住后面的敌人，这里我来！

PilotSir!是！

M16 takes out another grenade and charges at the mech before her.M16的手中再次握住一枚手雷，向着面前这台机体冲去。

AdjutantDid you think the same trick would work twice?!你以为同样的把戏还能奏效吗！

The adjutant's mech backs away from M16, its two secondary guns pre-charged and ready. The crosshair rests on M16.副官的机甲与M16拉开了距离，两挺预备完成的副炮高高举起。 准星即将锁定M16。

Boom! Boom!轰！轰！

Just then, the earth starts shaking. A massive tremor and the sound of rupturing metal come from the distance. It is as though a sea monster were tearing up this base of reinforced concrete. The sudden change freezes everyone in their tracks.然后就在这时，大地震动起来。 远处传来了巨大的震动和金属撕裂的声音。 仿佛一个海怪正在撕开这个钢筋混凝土浇筑的基地。 突如其来的变化让混战中的人都呆住了。

Before the soldiers realize what has happened, M16 leaps away. From what she can tell, there is no point in fighting here any longer. She quickly makes for the gate in front of the elevator and tries to close the final passage.M16在所有人之前意识到发生了什么并飞快地向后跳开。 她感知到了，也明白在这里继续战斗已经没有意义了。 她快速地移动到升降梯的闸门前，试图将最后的通道关闭。

AdjutantTrying to run?!想跑吗！

M16A1The clock strikes 12 and the ball is over.钟声响起，舞会结束了。

The massive gate in front of the elevator creaks and begins to close.升降梯巨大的闸门发出声音，开始合上。

AdjutantDamn you! Get out of my way!可恶！给我让开！

Amber-1 rushes toward the elevator, but the gate is already half-shut. The opening is not big enough for even a Jeep to pass through.琥珀1朝着升降梯全速冲了过去，而面前的升降梯闸门只剩下一个不大的空隙。 甚至已经不足以让一辆吉普车开进去了。

Thunk!咚！

The heavy collision makes the elevator gate ring. The mech can't get in. Then there is an ear-piercing shriek of twisting metal. The mech has worked its arms into the gap and is using all its horsepower to force the gate open. The overload of its throttles makes the mech shudder as it slowly pries the gate open, foot by foot.沉重的冲撞声在升降梯闸门上响起。 它没能冲进来。 然而接下来发出的便是刺耳的金属扭曲声。 那台机甲的两个手臂夹在闸门最后的缝隙之中，用尽全部的马力正在推开这个升降梯的闸门。 机甲在动力过载下颤抖着，一尺一尺地将合上的闸门慢慢拉开。

M16A1Humans just don't know when to quit, do they?真是不懂得放弃啊，人类。

M16 makes no move to attack. She simply watches from in front of the mech.M16没有做出任何的攻击，她只是在机甲面前静静地看着。

???Thank you.多谢。

A figure slides into the elevator from below the mech.一个影子从机甲身下窜出跳跃进升降梯内。

AdjutantWhat?什么？

After that, a cannon shell strikes the mech squarely on the cockpit. The mech falls silent for an instant, then its massive reactor explodes. The green iron colossus falls backwards.然后便是一发炮弹准确地轰击在他驾驶舱之前被击中的位置上。 那台机甲在一瞬间似乎安静了下来。然后便是巨大的动力炉从内向外的爆炸声。 绿色的钢铁巨人向后倒下了。

Kachak.咔嚓。

The gate slowly closes. The elevator, which has lost most of its floor, whirs to life beneath the blue glow and begins its descent. A disconcerting silence hangs thickly in the air.升降梯的闸门缓缓合上。 已经失去了地板的升降梯在蓝色辉光下发出启动的声响，向下开动起来。 然而却安静得让人有点害怕。

???I have to say, this is very handy.不得不说，它真的很好用。

M16A1I'm glad you like it.我很高兴你能喜欢。

M16 looks calmly at the dearly familiar Doll, who currently has her weapon — the weapon given to her by M16 — trained steadily on herself.M16的面前，那个她熟识得不能更熟识的人形举着自己送她的武装，瞄准着自己。

M4A1I finally caught up to you.终于追上你了。

M16A1I wish you hadn't. In the end, you've come to a place where you shouldn't be, just as you trusted someone you shouldn't have.我宁愿你没有，你还是来了不该来的地方，就如你相信不该相信的人一样。

M4A1It's not too late to stop now. By my authority as the leader of the AR Team, I order you to return to us right now!现在停下还来得及，我以AR小队队长的名义命令你，现在立即归队！

M16A1It has always been too late, ever since before Operation Butterfly.早就已经来不及了，从蝴蝶行动前那个时候起，就已经来不及了。

M4A1But why?! What exactly are you trying to achieve? Why do you want to activate Starfish? Why do you want to help Elisa get into Starfish?!为什么！你到底想要的是什么？ 你为什么要启动海星，为什么要帮助伊莱莎进入海星！

M16A1I have no obligation to answer you.我并没有回答你的义务。

M4A1When did you become like this, M16? Do you know what kind of consequences this will lead to?!M16，你什么时候开始变成这样的人了。 你知道这么做会造成什么后果吗！

M16A1That's fine. I'm willing to take full responsibility. It all started because of me, and it's oddly heartening to know that it will also end with me. You want me to stop? Then defeat me, here and now. Prove your strength with iron and fire. Use that strength to prove that you're right.没有关系，我愿意承担这一切，本来就是因我而起，最后因我而止也是一种幸福。 想要让我停下？ 那就在此时此地打倒我吧，用铁与火来展现你的力量，用力量证明你才是正确的。

M4A1...Don't think I can't do it, M16.……不要以为我做不到，M16。

Dandelion (Neural Cloud)M4, the firewalls in her neural cloud are as powerful as ever. Her OGAS is probably protecting her. If you can attack her now, you can force her to split up her computational power. That way, I might get a chance to take control of her body.M4，她的心智防壁依然非常重，应该是她的OGAS在保护她，现在击倒她也是一种办法，逼迫她分散算力，这样也许我能够用机会控制住她的素体。

M4A1I'll try...我试试……

M4's finger slowly tightens around the trigger of the weapon on her shoulder, the trigger of the weapon which M16 gave her.M4的手指缓缓捏紧了肩头的扳机，那个M16送给她的武器的扳机。

M16A1No, I know you can do it. After all, this isn't the first time we've fired at each other. C'mon then. Try and stop me.不，我知道你可以。 这也不是我们第一次朝对方开枪了。 所以，来阻止我看看吧。

Light Cone Frame of Reference I 光锥参考系I

Deep within the submarine base.基地深处。

Yegor's mech presses on deep within the bowels of the base. The size and structure of the mech limits the possible routes that it can take. Still, if it weren't for all the modifications Paradeus has made to the complex, which caused huge discrepancies between the original floor plan and the actual layout, he would have reached his destination by now. The Sangvis attack has separated him from his wingmen, and his situation has taken a turn for the worse. The mech is not very agile within this confined space, and the Dolls of DEFY are constantly attacking him from his blind spots. Fortunately, the mech still has a clear upper hand in terms of firepower, and DEFY's attacks have been repeatedly repelled by his return fire. There's no sign of a new attack. Perhaps those Dolls are critically damaged.叶戈尔的机甲在基地深处前进着，因为机甲的结构和大小，可以使用的通道是有限的。 但如果不是帕拉蒂斯对基地的改造，让大量的通道和地图开始有了差异，自己这个时间应该早就到达基地最深处了。 刚才铁血的攻击让他和他的僚机被迫分开，现在的情况与一开始相比已经完全逆转了。 在狭小的空间内，机甲并不那么灵活，忤逆小队的人形不断地试图从他的盲区发动攻击。 好在机甲的火力优势依然明显，在火力系统的还击下，忤逆的攻击被不断地打退。 新的攻击没有来临，也许那些人形已经严重受损了。

Boom— Boom— A loud explosion comes from overhead.轰——轰—— 这时头顶传来巨大的轰鸣声。

YegorTerra to Amber. Please come in.这里是大地，呼叫琥珀。收到请回答。

However, his transmission is only met with static. No answer from the rest of his forces either.然而电台里回传的只有噪音。 正如自己其他部队一样。

YegorSo I'm the only one left, huh.只剩下我了么。

Yegor puts down his handset and uses this brief moment of respite to check his map. He is suddenly struck by a sense of déjà vu. He has felt this way before in WWIII. The feeling of being surrounded by enemies in the depths of the Black Forest in Germany. A frightening silence envelops him, making him feel as though he's entirely alone. Yet, his senses tell him something is nearby. Enemies, enemies who want to kill him. They're close.叶戈尔将电台放下，趁着喘息的时间查看地图。 此刻他有一种熟悉的感觉，那种三战时曾经体会过的感觉。 在德国黑森林的深处和敌人周旋时的感觉。 四周安静得可怕，仿佛只有叶戈尔自己一样。 然而五官六识却都在警告着自己有什么东西在附近。 敌人，想要杀死自己的敌人。 就在附近。

YegorI know you're out there. Once I get rid of you, the control room will be within my reach.我知道你在这里。 只要把你干掉，前面就是控制室了。

Nobody answers Yegor as he mutters to himself. The silence feels like it's trying to convince him that he truly is alone. However, Yegor is certain that she's here. He can practically smell that woman now. Angelia, that relentlessly meddling woman, the one who's stood in his way over and over again.没有人回答他的自言自语，仿佛空间里只有他自己一样。 然而叶戈尔很确定，他甚至都嗅得到那个人的味道。 安洁莉娅，这个不断在阻碍他的女人，这一次又站在了阻碍他的立场上。

YegorVermin.鼠辈。

Kachak.咔嗒。

And then, as if Ange is mocking him... The last light in the corridor goes out.就像是安洁对他的回答一样。 走廊中最后的照明熄灭了。

Clatter clatter clatter. Then comes the sound of metal objects striking the ground, and smoke spews forth.当当当 随后金属落地的声音，烟雾喷涌而出。

YegorPetty tricks.小把戏。

The mech's viewscreen has gone completely dark, so Yegor switches to infrared mode. Shortly after that, several incendiary grenades fly out from a corner and set the corridor on fire. Now the only thing the IR sensors show is blinding whiteness. The moment his vision is obscured, bullets rip through the silence and strike the mech's visual cameras, and the mech instantly loses vision on its port side. Yegor's mech groans as it reverses at high speed. However, he suddenly hears a sound from behind. It is followed by an explosion!机甲的监视器只剩下一片漆黑，叶戈尔将系统切换到了红外模式。 而紧跟着，几发燃烧弹从角落里被扔了出来，将通道点燃。 霎时间，屏幕的红外传感画面只剩下了一片惨白。 在视觉被干扰的这一刹那，子弹划破寂静的空间朝着监视摄像头的位置飞来，机甲瞬间失去了左侧视野。 为了进行规避，叶戈尔的机体发出轰鸣，不得已快速向后倒车而去。 而这时，后退的方向突然响起了声音。 随即便是爆炸！

Boom! The support column was rigged with explosives. Yegor feels the mech's chassis starting to tilt, but everything is still within control. This infantry-level explosive is far from enough to cripple him. There is no time for him to catch his breath, however. Bullets streak through the smoke once more and strike his joint hydraulics. Yegor moves his secondary guns and fires in the direction of the bullets. ...The attack suddenly halts. Perhaps the large-caliber shooting has wiped out the attacker. Yegor raises his auxiliary guns and quickly scans his surroundings. With the port-side camera destroyed, he is forced to swivel the entire mech to get a complete view. Just then, a figure suddenly jumps out from behind the shattered cover he just fired at and dashes beyond his field of view.轰！ 支撑柱上被设置了炸药，叶戈尔感觉机体开始微微倾斜，但一切还可以控制。 这种步兵级的炸药远远不可能瘫痪自己。 没有留出让他喘息的时间，子弹再次穿过了烟雾，这次瞄准的是暴露出来的关节液压。 叶戈尔调整了手边的副炮，向着子弹射出的方向投出炮弹。 ……攻击戛然而止。 或许是被大口径的射击压制住了。 叶戈尔架起副炮，快速扫视起了周围的环境。 由于左侧的摄像头被破坏的关系，他不得不不断调整机体的方向。 就在这时，突然间，在刚才朝机甲开枪的位置上，一个人影跳出了被打碎的掩体，向射界外跑去。

YegorThere you are!在这吗！

Yegor hurriedly turns the mech to the right, delivering a hail of suppressive fire at the figure's position. The sound of his autocannon firing echoes through the cramped space. However, he can tell that something isn't right. Yegor turns his mech to the left again, but the figure that's charging in from that direction has already gotten right up to the fuselage of the mech.叶戈尔急忙将机甲朝右转去，朝着人影的位置进行火力压制，机炮声响彻在狭窄的空间中。 但这时，他感觉到了一丝不对劲。 叶戈尔又急忙将机甲往左转去，但那个从左侧冲出的影子，只一瞬间，便欺到了机体的近前。

Yegor...You freak of nature!……你这怪物！

AK-15, the most ferocious member of DEFY, has already entered minimum safety distance in just the blink of an eye, explosives in hand. Yegor quickly fires up his thruster to get the mech to move forward.忤逆中最为骁勇的AK15手持着爆炸物，眨眼间已经冲入了危险距离。 叶戈尔快速摁下动力杆，尝试让机体向前开动。

However, it is too late. AK-15's explosive rivet is already embedded in the heart of the mech — the explosives detonate at the leg joints. The cockpit glows red from all the fault lights and the sound of warning klaxons fills the air. Yegor knows the mech has taken significant damage. The vital propulsion and maneuvering systems are down. Yegor does his best to work the mech's controls while firing at the Doll's position, trying to keep her out of the dead zones of his weapons systems. His viewscreen shows that the mech's leg has ceased to function. However, there is still fuel in the thrusters, and he can still fire them up to draw away from the enemy. Once there's some distance between them, these Dolls' weapons won't be able to harm the mech.然而已经为时已晚，来自AK15的铆钉刺入了心脏——爆炸物在机甲的脚部关节处轰然炸开。 驾驶舱顿时被红光包围，故障灯和提示音也不断发出警鸣，叶戈尔知道，机体已经受损。 受损的部位是重要的机动系统，叶戈尔费尽了全力试图操作机甲，同时使用副炮朝着人形的位置开火，削减她进入自己火力死角的机会。 屏幕上，显示着动力足已经停止工作的事实。 但推进器还有余下的燃料，只要推高马力，他还是可以和敌人拉开距离。 只要有距离，这些人形的武器绝不可能伤到机甲。

...However, his opponents are clearly not going to give him the chance to do that.……但是他的对手明显不会给他这样的机会。

AngeSurround him!包围上去！

From behind the mech, the Dolls sneaking up on him pounce like a pack of wolves. Yegor starts shooting at them with his auxiliary weapons, but the experienced Dolls of Task Force DEFY bend low to stay just beneath the secondary cannons' angle of depression. They bare their fangs at Yegor's mech.机甲身后，悄悄靠近的那几个人形如狼群一般扑了上来。 叶戈尔开始使用副炮朝人形们开火，但经验丰富的忤逆人形们压低了身躯，刁钻地穿梭在副炮的俯角无法命中的位置，朝着叶戈尔的机甲露出了獠牙。

YegorOh no you don't!别想得逞！

Yegor points the mech's missile launcher straight upwards. Then, he fires all his high explosive fragmentation missiles at once. The red-hot missiles hit the ceiling and explode, sending shrapnel flying everywhere. They shower down like a rainstorm on the approaching Dolls.叶戈尔将机甲的导弹发射器指向了正上方。 然后在一瞬将所有的高爆杀伤导弹发射了出去。 红温的导弹撞上了天花板，随后理所当然地炸开，无数的破片向四周飞去。 如雨水般倾泻在尝试靠近的人形身上。

AK-15Take cover!掩体！

RPK-16...Oh dear.……哎呀，糟糕了呢。

AN-94Avoid his fire, look out — ugh!火力回避，小心——唔！

Yegor manages to carefully maintain the mech's balance amidst the tremendous shaking. The detonation of his missiles at such close range is just as unpleasant for him as it is for his enemies, but the mech's armor is able to withstand the impact of the high explosive and the shrapnel. Yegor pounds on his flickering display, which flashes a couple of times until the static on the screen finally resolves into usability. Fortunately, the damage to these components isn't too severe.叶戈尔在剧烈的震荡中，小心地维持着机甲的平衡。 这样近距离的导弹爆炸对于他同样不好受，但机甲的装甲应该还能够支撑得住高爆弹的破片打击。 叶戈尔一拳砸在接触不良的显示器上，显示器的屏幕闪烁了两下，从空有雪花的噪音中恢复了运作。 所幸这些设备没有损害得太严重。

YegorWell, that was lucky.还算走运。

The smoke before him has dispersed and the flames are dying down. The Dolls who attacked him are now sprawled on the ground, their bodies mangled and motionless. The bad news is that although the lights are back on, the blast has made it impossible for him to identify his surroundings. He can't even find the path he took here. It's as though it never existed.面前的烟雾正在散去，燃烧的火焰逐渐熄灭。 视野里那些袭击自己的人形也已经瘫倒在地上，躯体残破不堪，不再动弹。 糟糕的是，照明虽然打开了，但走廊的四周却因为爆炸而变得难以辨识，甚至连来时的路都找不到了。 就像是不曾存在过一样。

YegorWhat a waste of time.一群杂碎，真是浪费时间。

The only question that remains is - where is Angelia? Yegor doesn't think for a moment that she would have died from that explosion. Yes, there's no way she would have died that easily. He will need to put in a hundred times the effort and caution he has so far if he wants to kill her. So the question is... Where is she hiding?剩下的问题就是安洁莉娅在哪里？ 叶戈尔丝毫不觉得那个女人会因为刚刚的导弹爆炸而死掉。 是的，她不会那么轻易就死掉，想要杀死那个女人，需要付出的是比这多出百倍的力气和警惕。 那么问题就是……她藏在哪里呢？

Boom! An explosion goes off while Yegor is distracted. Yegor's mech suddenly careens to one side.轰！ 就在叶戈尔分神之际，一声突然的爆炸。 让叶戈尔的机体向一侧轰然倒去。

YegorWhat—!什——！

Caught off guard, Yegor is hit by a mighty shockwave. Warm blood drips from his forehead, but fortunately his injuries are not severe. He's still alive — he is very much aware of that. He immediately starts checking the mech's status. Its left leg is a write-off, but at least the machine hasn't been completely disabled. He still remembers how to pilot the machine when only one side is operational. His training is engraved into the marrow of his bones. He rights himself in the pilot's chair and checks the monitor. The battle isn't over yet.猝不及防之下，叶戈尔遭受到了剧烈的冲击，温热的鲜血从他的额头上流下，所幸伤势并不严重。 自己还活着，叶戈尔很清楚这一点，而下一刻，他便已经开始检查机甲的状况。 机体的左腿已经完蛋了，但是还不至于不能动。 单侧驾驶的技术，他依旧记得，他受过的所有训练都刻在骨子里。 他抬起身，看向监视器。 战斗还没有结束。

However, what he sees makes his heart skip a beat. He sees a Doll without her legs. It would have been an extremely graphic sight if she were not a Doll, but flesh and blood. Her comrade's body has shielded her from the lethal fragments, so she is still in working order. She takes the bomb from her other dying comrade and drags her severed torso up the mech that's lying on its left side. Out of the incapacitated Dolls strewn in front of Yegor's mech, she is the only one who can still move. She is the alpha of this pack of wolves.然而，监视器上的场景却让他的呼吸瞬间止住了一拍。 那是一个已经失去了双腿的人形。 倘若她并非人形而是血肉之躯，此时这般模样必定是个残酷的场面。 但是因为战友用身体为她挡下了致命的弹片，所以核心的机能依然没有停止。 她拿着另一位一息尚存的战友递给她的炸药，爬上了自己左侧的机甲。 这是那一群躺在叶戈尔机甲前已经无法再运作的人形中仅剩的最后一个能够行动的。 这就是，狼群的头狼。

RPK-16That's why I find you humans so fascinating.所以我才说，人类真是有趣呢。

RPK-16Please accept my tribute. I hope you find it acceptable? AK-12...the rest is up to you.还算是不错的见面礼吧？前辈……剩下的就交给你了。

AK-12...Ange, mission accomplished.……安洁，任务完成。

Boom! With those cold and haughty last words, the Doll called AK-12 is engulfed in flames, along with the mech's other leg.轰！ 伴随着轰鸣，那名为AK12的人形，带着冷峻的遗声与机甲的动力足一同被火焰吞噬殆尽。

AngeMuch appreciated.辛苦了。

That woman's hateful voice reaches Yegor's ears through the radio. She's talking over a public channel. This is a grave provocation. However, the dull explosion from afar is much more worrying. The propulsion system and thrusters of his mech have been blown to smithereens — the machine is thoroughly immobilized. But he knows that he can't even get out of the mech, because Ange...that woman is most definitely aiming straight at his cockpit canopy, waiting for a chance to put an armor-piercing round through his forehead.那个女人让人生厌的声音，从无线电里传进了叶戈尔的耳中。 在公共频道上进行通话，这是一种严重的挑衅。 但是相比这女人的声音，从遥远的地方传来的低沉的爆炸声更加让他紧张。 机动平台和推进器都已经被彻底炸毁了，机甲的移动能力也已经被彻底破坏。 但他明白，自己无法从机甲中脱离，因为安洁……因为那个女人此时百分百正在瞄准着自己驾驶舱盖的位置，等待着用子弹穿透自己头颅的时机。

He hears a series of mechanical noises from above him. What he thought was the ceiling is actually a row of trapdoors, which are now opening one after the other. They lead to high ground — but right now, they might as well be the gates to Hell. He hears a thunderous roar from the end of the passage. His comrades have already heard it, the sound that surges at them like the Kraken itself. —It is the sound of seawater crashing into the base. At that moment, it finally dawns on Yegor what Ange's plan is. However, the realization has come too late, and there is nothing he can do. He has failed. At the very end, only one stark conviction lingers in his mind. He takes out the picture of his family and listens as the seawater draws closer and closer. He waits. He waits for his final judgment.连续的机械声自头顶上方响起。 原以为是天顶的墙壁此时却像闸门一般一个个打开。 它们通向高处——但此刻看起来却像是通往地狱的门梯。 他听到了这个通道的尽头传来的巨大轰鸣声。 那个同僚们也早已听到的，如同挪威海怪汹涌而来一般的声音。 ——那是海水涌进基地的声音。 此刻，叶戈尔终于明白了安洁的计划。 但他也仅仅只是明白了而已，因为他什么都做不了。 失败了。 在最后的最后，紊绕在他的心头挥之不去的只剩下苍白的念头。 他拿出了自己家人的照片，听着海水的声音越来越近。 他等待着。 等待着对自己最后的审判。

Causality Separating Plane 因果隔离面

Several minutes ago.几分钟前。

On the ground floor of the base, not far from the seawater valves.基地一层，通海阀不远处。

UMP45This is UMP45. AR Team, where are you? We're almost out of ammo.UMP45呼叫AR小队，你们到哪里了？ 我们弹药快打完了。

416I'm out of handgun rounds too! Commander, lend me your gun!手枪子弹也打完了！ 指挥官，把你的枪给我！

CommanderThere's two minutes until detonation. You should get out of here.还有两分钟就要引爆了，你们自己想办法离开吧。

UMP45Who'd pay us if we left? I don't make bad deals. Last mag!我们自己离开谁付报酬给我们？我从不做亏本生意。 最后一个弹匣！

KalinaCommander! We're sending someone through the blockade! What's your current position?!指挥官！我们有人形突破封锁冲进来了！ 现在你在什么位置？！

CommanderI told you to forget about me! Just evacuate!不是说不要管我吗，你们先撤！

KalinaNobody would ever do that! Tell me your position now!这种事没有人会答应的！ 快告诉我们你的位置！

UMP45I've synced it to you. How many people can you send over?已经同步过去了，有多少人可以来支援？

Gr SL8Sorry, it's just me. I came in by sea. Still, I can hold a gun and I've brought ammo with me.真遗憾啊，只有我一个，还是从海里游上来进了水的。 不过我还能握枪，也带了完好的弹药补给来。

416That's better than nothing!有总比没有好！

Gr SL8You are absolutely right. Wow, Commander, you're a mess. ...Oh, don't talk, save your strength!你说得对。哇喔，指挥官，你看起来也太凄惨了吧！ ……哦，不用说话，保存好体力！

The Doll who broke through is heavily damaged, but she still rushes to my side. After replenishing their ammunition, Squad 404 is once again capable of fighting back.突破的人形身上已经受了不少的创伤，但她还是迅速地来到了我身边。 获取弹药后，404小队也恢复了反击的火力。

RO635RO hailing 404, we're approaching from your flank. Check your fire.RO呼叫404，我们从你们的侧面靠近，不要对我们开枪。

UMP45You're late.来得太晚了。

The AR Team's firepower rips through the Military squad's flank. Between the two grenades going off amidst the soldiers and the Dolls' accurate shooting, the enemy squad is swiftly eliminated.AR小队的火力猛然在军方分队的侧面爆发，两发榴弹在士兵之间炸开，再加上人形的准确射击，这支分队很快就被消灭了。

RO635Commander, are you alright?指挥官你没事吧？

CommanderI'm not dead yet. There's one minute until detonation, let's hurry and get out of here.至少没死。还有一分钟就要爆炸了，我们赶紧离开这里。

RO635No problem. We're going to stage a breakout. 404, please stick close to us.没问题，我们马上突破出去，404的两位也请跟紧我们。

UMP45Naturally.当然。

Gr SL8Oh, don't over-exert yourself, Commander. Come, it'll be faster if I carry you!啊，指挥官不用勉强。来，我抱着你跑比较快！

CommanderWait, I'm not... Never mind. Then if you'd please.等等，我还不至于……算了，拜托了。

Thanks to the AR Team's superior firepower, the Griffin team breaks through the Military's final blockade. Not long after we exited the base from the side, a chain of explosions goes off, and titanic quantities of seawater gush into the base through the breaches. The Dolls carry me to the upper levels and spare me from being swept away by the seawater. However, the soldiers still in the base are obviously not as fortunate.在AR小队的优势火力下，格里芬一行人终于突破了军方小队最后的火力封锁。 在离开基地内侧不久，爆炸声便接踵而至，大量的海水随着炸开的缺口汹涌地冲进基地内。 人形们带着我提早爬上了上层的空间，从而避免了被海水冲走的命运。 但是显而易见，还在基地中的士兵们就没有那么幸运了。

KalinaI didn't think we'd actually wipe out the Military in the end... even if it was in such a way. It's just inconceivable...没想到军方最后真的被我们消灭了……虽然是以这种形式。 真是难以想象……

CommanderBut Ange and DEFY are still down there, and we can't contact M4. If the seawater keeps pouring in, the under-levels of the base will be flooded.但是安洁和忤逆还在下面，M4也联系不上。 海水这么倒灌下去，基地的下层都会被淹没。

KalinaI'm sure they'll be able to escape.她们一定能够有办法脱身的。

CommanderI hope so, because we can't do anything for them from here. Who are these kids?希望如此吧，我们在这里现在也做不了什么了。 这些孩子是？

KalinaSquad 404 brought them back here.刚才404小队的人形将她们带回来的。

Commander...Are they juvenile Nytos? Are they the objective of Ange's investigation?……涅托的幼体么？ 这就是安洁她们提早进来调查的目标？

KCommander!指挥官！

CommanderOh, I see you're still alive, K.原来你还活着啊，K。

KWere you expecting otherwise?你是盼着我出些事故么。

CommanderYou came at a perfect time. These are the children that Ange asked Squad 404 to bring out. You must know something about them.你来得正好，这些是安洁让404小队带出来的孩子，你应该知道些什么吧。

KSo they're the ones she found within the base?这是在基地下面发现的那些孩子吗。

KalinaYes.是的。

K studies the little Nyto hiding behind UMP45 with a complicated look on his face.K看着躲在UMP45身后的小涅托，眼神有一些复杂。

CommanderIs there something you can tell us, Herr Schwaben of the Stasi?有什么能跟我们解释的吗，史塔西的凯恩先生。

KThese children are not our main objective. Actually, we weren't even aware of their existence. However, when I was conducting my investigation on Paradeus in Southern Europe, I came across information related to the prototypes of juvenile Nytos. It was a case report concerning an illegal orphanage.这些孩子并不是我们的首要目标，确切地说我们一开始并不知道她们的存在。 不过我在南欧寻找帕拉蒂斯的线索时，有看到过涅托幼体原型的相关信息。 那是一份关于一座非法的孤儿院的情况报告。

CommanderAn orphanage?孤儿院？

KYes, an orphanage in the south of Germany. We believe that was where Paradeus began their experiments. These children are clones created by Paradeus.对，德国南部一家孤儿院。我们相信是帕拉蒂斯开始他们实验的地方。这些孩子们都是帕拉蒂斯制造的克隆体。

CommanderFor what purpose?为了什么目的？

KParadeus was trying to create a human that could access the digital network in order to enter the OGAS System. However, that was just our conjecture. Nobody knows exactly how far along Paradeus is in their research.帕拉蒂斯尝试制作能连接网络的人类来进入OGAS系统。 但这仅仅停留在情报官员的猜测中，没人确切地知道帕拉蒂斯进行到哪一步了。

KalinaA neural cloud computing space constructed from a human consciousness? That's...not possible, is it?人类意志构成的心智空间？ 这……不太可能吧。

UMP45Unfortunately, it's true. I saw it in the lab.可惜这是真的，我已经在实验室里见识过了。

CommanderReally...? This is just too strange. What on earth is Paradeus trying to make?是么…… 太奇怪了，帕拉蒂斯到底在制造什么？

Boom! Boom!! Boom!!! The ground starts shaking again.轰，轰，轰！ 地面又开始震动起来。

KalinaAre they still fighting down there?下面的战斗还在继续吗？

CommanderIt means someone is still alive, at least.至少说明有人还活着。

A brilliant blue light flares up from the submarine base in the distance, stretching all the way to the utmost limits of the sky, brighter than ever before.远处蓝色的辉光从潜艇基地里升起，一直延伸到天空的尽头，比之前任何一次都要显得明亮。

Blackbody Radiation I 黑体热辐射I

At the bottom of the elevator shaft.升降梯井底。

M16A1Is it over...? You've grown. You've finally grown to surpass me.结束了么…… 你成长了，终于成长到超越我了。

The sound of explosions and rushing seawater come from above.爆炸声和海水涌动的声音从上方出来。

M16A1It looks like the Commander's decided to utterly destroy this place. You can still make it if you leave now.看来指挥官下定决心要彻底摧毁这里了，现在离开还来得及。

M4A1Right back at you. Why are you going out of your way to aid the Sangvis Mastermind?这句话我同样返还给你，为什么要为铁血的主脑做到这种地步？

M16A1I'm honoring an old promise, as well as a new one.因为有着旧的约定，同时又有了新的约定。

M16A1What's the matter? Not as curious as you used to be? Or have you grown used to prying into someone else's neural cloud?怎么了，不像以前那么好奇了么？ 还是说你已经习惯了直接从别人的心智中偷窥记忆了？

M4A1The connections are so dense I can sense what's in your neural cloud without even trying.连接的密度已经高到不需要我刻意这么做也能感知到你们心智中的一切了。

M16A1Then do you still not understand? All you need to do is let Mastermind fuse into the OGAS Network. Her defects will forever strand her within it, and you have turned down being her guide.所以，你还不明白么？ 只要让那个主脑自己融入进OGAS网络中就行了，她因为缺陷会永远迷失在里面，而你已经拒绝过成为她的领路羊的请求了。

M16A1Since you've rejected the coalescence, you should just stay out of this.你拒绝了融合，事到如今就不要再掺和进来了。

PersicaI can't believe it - it actually worked. What would Lyco think if he saw this? He'd have to admit I'm better than him after all.没想到真的成功了，如果莱柯看到会怎么想呢？ 果然还是得老老实实承认我比他更厉害吧。

OfficerWe need full command authorizations over the Dolls taking part in the operation.我们需要参加作战的人形的全部权限。

PersicaWhile I'd expected such a request, I have my own way of doing things. In that case, would you mind bringing Lyco back?虽然我早就知道会这么要求，不过我也同样有我自己的办法。 这样的话，你也许可以帮我把莱柯带回来了吧？

UMP45Those Dolls were all shot in the back. I wonder who's the traitor here?那些人形都是背后中枪，到底谁是叛徒还不知道呢。

ElisaIf you allow me to see my father one last time, I will forgive you and save you from the meltdown.让我最后见父亲一面吧，这样的话我就原谅你，我可以把你从融毁中解救出来。

M16A1This man...is still breathing?这个男人，还没有完全断气么？

LycoYour face... I see... So she went ahead and did it in the end, and it's true that only she could've done it... But it's too dangerous... I need to tell her...not to fall into that man's trap...你的样子……是吗…… 她原来还是按照她的意志去做了，也的确只有她才能做到这一切…… 但是这还是太过于危险了……一定要想办法告诉她……不能陷入那个人的陷阱中……

In front of the Starfish System. The entire room is illuminated by the bluish glow of radiation, so much so that no other colors can be discerned. Elisa stands before the old device like a lost child.海星系统前。 整个房间被蓝色的辐射辉光渲染得辨识不出其他颜色。 伊莱莎站在这台老旧的设备前，像是一个走丢的孩子。

ElisaWhy...why can't I fully connect?为什么……为什么无法完全链接？

A man's silhouette emerges from behind the blue radiance. However, he looks incorporeal - more like an image in a mirror.蓝色的辉光后，一个男子的身影出现。 但是却不真切，更像是在镜子后的幻象。

LycoI, too, once thought that the best of human artifice was nothing more than crude imitations of God's creations. I also once believed that there was a limit that the works of man could never surpass. But it would seem, my dear, that we were both wrong.我也曾经以为我们所制造的极限不过是神的造物的拙劣模仿。 我也一度以为人的造物是无法突破那条界限的。 但是我亲爱的女士啊，我们都错了。

ElisaFather?父亲？

LycoNaturally, the implication of this realization frightens me. If we open this Pandora's box, what awaits us within?当然这也让我恐惧。 当我们打开房间的门，里面又会是什么呢？

ElisaWhat are you saying? I do not understand.您在说什么？我不明白。

LycoThus, I cannot do what is forbidden. The dreams of those great alchemists have been realized. Yet I must never break that quicksilver flask.所以我不可以去做禁忌之事。 那些伟大的炼金术师们的梦想，现在已经实现了。 但是我绝不可以打碎那个水银烧瓶。

It is then that Elisa realizes Lyco is not actually talking to her in real-time. This is one of Lyco's diary entries, buried deep within a log somewhere.此刻伊莱莎明白了，莱柯不是在跟现在的自己对话。 这是存储在某个记录深处的莱柯的日记。

LycoDo you know what's the most laughable thing? I never believed in God. I've always believed that humans were capable of performing the miracles that have always been attributed to God. But when I actually made you, I've had a change of heart - I should not have trespassed into that domain.你知道最可笑的什么吗？我从不相信上帝。 我也一直坚信人类，可以达成那种他们说只属于神的奇迹。 但是当我真正制造了你之后，我却认为我不应踏足其中。

Elisa realizes what is going on. This is a recording of what he wanted to say to her from the past.伊莱莎已经意识到发生了什么，这是当她还未出生时，他对自己所说的内容。

LycoI'm sorry, my daughter. I created your soul out of folly, but I dared not awaken you. I'm sorry that I even had to strip you of the right to do what I dared not do. Please forgive me for taking away the choice that should have been yours.抱歉，我的女儿。 愚蠢的我制造了你的灵魂，但是我却不敢让你醒来。 抱歉，我还得阻止你去做我所不敢去做的事情的权利。 请原谅我，剥夺这个本应属于你的选择。

Lyco turns, as though he could see Elisa right now. Then he reaches his hands out to her. At this moment, Elisa understands why she cannot fully connect to the Starfish. It is destiny which has been decided from when she was born.莱柯转过身，仿佛看得到此刻的伊莱莎一般。 然后那双手向自己伸来。 此刻，伊莱莎明白了自己无法完全链接海星的原因。 那是在自己出生时就被决定好的宿命。

ElisaBut...I've already abandoned everything, sacrificed everything. Sangvis Ferri, Agent... All those people who served me, believed in me, those who have done nothing wrong. I can't stop here!但是……我已经抛弃了一切，我已经付出了一切。 铁血、代理人……那些服从我、相信我、却什么错事都没有做过的人。 我已经不能停下了！

Elisa reaches out as well and falls toward the other side of the mirror.伊莱莎伸出了双手，向着镜子的那一侧坠去。

M4A1STOP!!!停下！！！

M4 shouts as she stretches out her arm to catch Elisa, but the latter passes through her grasp like an illusion. A horde of electronic attack signals flood out from the depths of M4's neural cloud, like the howl of some sea monster.M4大喊道，试图伸出一只手抓住她，但是伊莱莎却像一个虚影一般透过了她的手臂。 蜂拥而来的电子攻击信号仿佛海妖的哭嚎从M4的心智底层涌来。

ElisaIf it had been you... If you had been willing to merge with me...如果是你的话……如果你能和我融合的话……

M4A1The connection can't be broken from the outside. I can only try to turn things around in my base layer. Elisa...it'll be over soon.链接从外界已经无法中断了，只能从底层去试图扭转这一切了。 伊莱莎……马上就要结束了……

Unfathomable Singularity 不可知奇点

On the battlefield.战场上。

KMind your right.注意你的右边。

CommanderRoger.收到。

A squad of troops runs through the tunnel, but none of them notice me as I hide in the shadow of a corner. K and I regularly check each other's' positions to help our counterpart stay out of the Military's sight, and we continue onward, darting from cover to cover.一队士兵匆匆跑过通道，谁也没有注意到躲在拐角阴影里的我。 我和K互相观察着对方的位置，帮助对方躲开军方的视野，借助着掩蔽物继续前进。

Military OfficerReorganize our infantry and autonomous units! Don't let the enemy split you up! Your top priority is to rally with our other squads!重新组织士兵和自律单位！不要被敌人分割，以汇合为第一目标！

The Military forces that have entered the base are completely scattered and in disarray, but gunfire still rings out in the distance. The remaining Dolls keep disrupting the surviving squads, trying to slow down their attempt to regroup.进入基地的军方部队的编制已经被完全打散，但远处的枪声依然没有停止。剩余的人形不断地对残余的小分队进行干扰，试图拖慢他们和其他分队汇合的速度。

KalinaCommander, do you read me?指挥官，听得到么？

CommanderLoud and clear.很清楚。

KalinaOur forces are engaging the Military in close quarters. We can't regroup, but they probably won't be able to storm us for a while. We don't have many Dolls left and we can't launch an assault, so all we can do is keep trying to delay them...but we won't be able to slow them for long.我们的梯队和军方的部队正在近距离交火，无法重新集合，但他们短时间应该攻不进来。 我们剩下的人形不多了，没法进行强攻，只能继续想办法拖住他们……我们拖不了太久的。

CommanderUnderstood. We'll be quick.收到，我们会尽快。

KTrouble headed your way, Commander.指挥官，你遇到麻烦了。

CommanderI see it. The bastards have set up a temporary command post right in front of the gates. What a nasty place to put it.看到了。这些家伙在闸口的位置设立了临时指挥所，位置真恶心。

KThe enemy officers are probably thinking of a way to rattle you. What should we do? We'll need to take out their command post if we want to reach the valves. Shall we have your Dolls attack again?对方的军官一定会想到你们狗急跳墙的方案。 怎么办，想要到达通海阀就一定要端掉他们的指挥所。 要让你的人形再发动一次进攻么？

CommanderThere aren't many soldiers left, but we don't have enough Dolls to spare either. Tsk... Kalin, can you hear me?虽然剩下的士兵不多，但我们的人形也所剩无几了。 啧……格琳，能听到么？

KalinaI hear you, Commander. Please proceed.能听到，指挥官请讲。

CommanderI'm trying to infiltrate a Military strongpoint. Have our remaining forces direct suppressive fire at them. Just draw their attention, there's no need to press the attack. Have them start shooting now; I'll think of a way to slip past them while the soldiers are distracted.我在试图渗透进军方的驻守点，让剩下的梯队用火力压制他们，不要进攻只要吸引他们注意力就行。 现在马上开火，我会趁那些士兵注意力转移的机会想办法穿过去。

KalinaBut, Commander...但是指挥官你……

CommanderDo it, Kalina.格琳，执行。

KalinaYes, right away.是，马上开始。

The gunfire intensifies right away. The soldiers and their automatons nervously run toward the firefight. Stray bullets keep zipping past the defense line and hitting the walls not far from me. The sound is both unnerving and comical at the same time.枪声立即激烈起来，士兵和自律单位紧张地朝交火点跑去。 流弹不断越过防线打在离我不远的墙壁上，声音听起来诡异又有点滑稽。

KAre you sure you want to take this risk?你确定要这么冒险？

CommanderSince when have any of our missions not been risky?哪一次任务是不要求我们冒险的？

KGood luck, then. I'll have a minute of silence for you if you get shot into Swiss cheese.那就祝你好运吧，要是你被打成筛子我会替你默哀的。

CommanderSave the mourning for later and finish the mission. Commander out.留着你的默哀好好完成工作吧，通话完毕。

There is no more cover up ahead. But...there's no time to hesitate. I shift the explosives to rest on my sides, press myself as flat on the ground as I can go, then slowly crawl forward.前方已经没有掩蔽物了。 但是……没有能犹豫的时间了。 我把炸药调整到身体的两侧，尽可能将身体压平在地面上，缓慢地朝前面挪动。

Military Trooper AMalyukov's been hit! Someone drag him away!马柳科夫被打中了！谁把他拖下去！

Military Trooper BI can't hold them! Does anyone have any grenades left?!我压住不住对面！谁还有手雷么？！

Military Trooper ANot me, I've used them all up! I'm almost out of magazines too! Can someone take my place?!没有了，全部用完了！ 我弹匣也快打完了，谁来交换位置！

Military Trooper BI'll do it! Contact the sergeant and have him bring more AP rounds over! And bring more men too, we can't hold out much longer over here!我来！ 快联系中士再送一些穿甲弹过来！ 再叫点人过来，这边快撑不住了！

Military Trooper AThey're out of AP too! Any casualties who can still move, help reload the magazines! The rest of you conserve your ammo!他们也没有穿甲弹了！还能动的伤员负责压子弹，其他人省着点打！

A firefight rages on in the distance, and the troops who have been hit are dragged away by other soldiers. Those casualties aren't fatally injured; as experienced veterans, they knew better than to expose themselves while shooting. However, Dolls' fire control systems grant them superior reflexes in close combat, and these soldiers' arms and weapons have been shot through by bullets. Their screams fill the air. The medics do their best to stop the casualties' bleeding, while the remaining soldiers take ammo from the wounded and return to the fray. The sounds of gunfire and shouting inside the passage are deafening. While the remaining soldiers are focused on the firefight, I take advantage of their distraction and quickly crawl past them. Another squad of soldiers runs to the point of contact from the temporary command post. Their gun mounted flashlights sway wildly in the darkness and I feel strong light flitting across my face several times... Fortunately, they're in a hurry to get to their destination and take no notice of me as I lie prone on the ground. After they run past, I get to my feet as quickly as I can and jog over to the cover on the other side, which gives me a chance to catch my breath and to dislodge my heart from my throat. There's only one problem left now－the Military's temporary command bunker is over ten meters away from me, but the sea valve is behind their bunker, so there's no way I can go around it.不远处交火正在进行，中弹的士兵们被另外的士兵拖了下来，这些伤员身上没有致命伤，作为经验丰富的老兵他们并没有露出身体进行射击。 但是近距离交火中人形火控系统的反应速度占据优势，这些士兵的手臂和武器都被子弹打穿了，惨叫声不绝于耳。 医疗兵费劲地为他们止血，而剩下的士兵从伤员身上取下弹药，继续返回战斗。 通道内枪响的回声和士兵的喊叫震耳欲聋，我趁着剩余士兵的注意力都在交火点的时机快速地爬过。 又有一队士兵从临时指挥所跑向交火点，枪口的手电在到处乱晃，我感到好几次强光都已经照到了脸上……幸好他们忙着到目标地点，没注意到趴在地上的我。 在他们跑走后我赶紧爬起身一路小跑到对面的掩体中，这才总算有空开始调整呼吸，把几乎跳到喉咙口的心脏安抚回原位。 现在只剩最后的难题了——军方小队的临时指挥掩体就在距离我十多米的位置，但是通海阀就在指挥掩体的背后，无论如何都无法绕开。

Military OfficerWhere's Karasko's squad? Have them draw closer to us!卡拉斯科的小队呢，让他们向我们靠拢！

Military SergeantKarasko is dead. Squads 9-1 and 9-3 are trying to flank Griffin's firebase!卡拉斯科已经死了，9-1和9-3小队在试图从侧翼包抄格里芬的火力点！

Military OfficerCyka! Don't bother flanking them! We need to shake off these Dolls! The Captain is waiting for us!苏卡！别再去包抄了！ 我们必须摆脱那些人形的纠缠，上尉还在等着我们！

Military SergeantBut the enemy's dead set on keeping us here, and we've used up a lot of ammo!但对方正死死地咬住我们，弹药消耗得很厉害！

Military OfficerHave them peel off and fall back to our location. We'll link up and catch up with the Captain! We're all that remains of our forces!让他们交替掩护回来，我们都集中起来赶上去，我们是最后的力量了！

Military SergeantYou mean there won't be any more reinforcements?不会再有支援了么？

Military OfficerDid you hear those explosions outside? Do you think a PMC could do that?你没听到外面的爆炸声么？ 你觉得那是承包商可以搞出来的动静么？

Military SergeantThose goddamn lackeys...!那帮该死的走狗……

Military OfficerAs long as the Captain reaches the control room, our comrades won't have died in vain. Hurry and contact the other—只要上尉能够到达控制室，我们的同志就没有白白牺牲，快联系其他小——

Several gunshots ring out, and blood sprays from the heads of the two men in the bunker. I promptly roll into the bunker and put another round into each of their heads for good measure, then take the weapons and radio from one of them before running toward the valve. The enemy doesn't seem to have noticed that their commanders have been killed amidst the clamor of battle. This gives me enough time to do my work.几声枪响，掩体内的两人头部血花飞溅。 我快速翻进掩体内，又对尸体的头部各补了一枪，然后拿起其中一个人的武器和无线电，向通海阀快速奔去。 刚才的枪声混在密集的交火声里，似乎还没有敌人发现他们的指挥官已经被击毙了，这让我争取到了足够的安装时间。

... The explosives and detonators are in good condition. Now all I need to do is get to safety and trigger them. After verifying that the trigger is fine, I put it in my pocket and pick up the incoming transmission that's been demanding my attention for a few seconds.…… 炸弹和引爆设备都处于良好状态，现在只需要离开安全距离引爆就可以了。 确认过起爆器没有问题后，我将它放回口袋中，接受了从刚才起就不断呼入的通讯。

KCommander, do you copy? I've finished planting the explosives on my end.指挥官，听得到么？ 我这边炸弹已经设置完毕了。

CommanderRoger, I'm done over here too. You go back first, I've run into a little bit of trouble here.收到，我这边也完成了。 你先离开吧，我这里碰到点麻烦。

KYou killed their commanders?你把他们的指挥官给干掉了？

CommanderCouldn't have got past them otherwise.不这么做我就穿不过去。

KBe careful. Their other squads are looking for you.你小心一点，其他的小分队已经在开始找你了。

CommanderGot it. I'll contact Ange again, then decide what to do next.明白，我先和安洁联系一次，然后再做接下来的判断。

KCan you reach her from your current position?你的位置能联系上她们么？

CommanderThe signal interference just vanished, it should be fine now. Commander out.刚才通讯干扰消失了，现在应该没问题，通话完毕。

CommanderAnge, do you read me?安洁，听得到我说话么？

AngeliaI read you. I'm a little busy now, so make it quick.可以听到。 我现在有点忙，请长话短说。

CommanderAll the explosive charges and detonators have been planted, they're ready to go at any time. How are things on your end?所有炸弹和引爆器都设置完成了，随时可以起爆。 你们的情况如何？

AngeliaYegor broke through to the second level. My team and I are pursuing him. The AR Team is still engaging the other mechs on the upper level. I'm not sure of their status. Things are looking bad for us. Please be ready to detonate at any time, Commander.叶戈尔突围进入第二层了，我们小队正在追击。 AR小队还在上层和其他装甲单位交火，我不清楚她们的情况。 我们现在情况并不占优，指挥官请随时做好引爆的准备。

CommanderAcknowledged. When can you withdraw?收到，你们什么时候可以撤出来？

AngeliaWhether or not we manage to withdraw, prepare to detonate the explosives. Set them to trigger in five minutes. During this time, have everyone who can evacuate head to high ground.不管我们撤不撤出来，都准备引爆炸弹，将引爆时间设置在五分钟后。 趁这个时间让所有可以避难的人都往高处走。

CommanderI thought we wouldn't use this backup plan if we could beat the Military?不是说如果能够击败军方的话，就不使用这个后备方案了么？

AngeliaThings have changed. Starfish appears to have been activated. Even if we stop it right away, they're still going to drop cruise missiles on us. I was careless. Even if Yegor didn't make it into the control room, M16 made contact with a Pike Node in the past. She's got authorization to activate the Starfish as well. Dammit, this base and the facilities inside it should never have existed in the first place. At this point, all we can do is play it by ear.情况变了，现在海星有被启动的迹象，就算我们不马上阻止航空炸弹也会扔到我们头上。 大意了，就算耶格尔没进控制室，之前M16也接触过梭鱼节点核心，她也同样可能有着激活海星的权限。 该死，这座基地和里面的设施都不应该存在，事到如今只能随机应变了。

CommanderUnderstood. I'll find a way to evacuate the others. Commander out.明白了，我让其他人想办法撤离，完毕。

CommanderM4? This is the Commander. Do you read me? What's your situation?M4？这里是指挥官，听得到么？你们情况怎么样了？

DandelionGo ahead, Commander. We are currently engaged in intense combat, and a former member of the AR Team has shown up too.指挥官请说，AR小队正在激烈交战中，而且原本AR小队的成员也出现了。

CommanderFind some way to bring everyone back. Ange found signs of Starfish activation in the lower levels. We're going to blow the sea valves in five minutes and the lower levels of the base will be flooded with seawater.想办法让她们都回来。 安洁在下层发现了海星有被启动的迹象，五分钟后就要引爆通海阀了，基地的下层都会被海水淹没掉。

DandelionUnable to comply. We are currently in very close proximity to the enemy and we are unable to leave right away. Also, M4 is preparing to pursue M16. Nobody here can stop her.这做不到，我们和敌人已经非常接近了，无法立即离开。 另外M4正准备去追逐M16，这里没人可以拦住她。

CommanderTsk... Do what you can to bring them all back. I'm blowing the sea valves in five minutes. After that, everything's going to be submerged in seawater.啧……想办法让她们都回来，五分钟后就要引爆通海阀了，再往下一切都会被海水淹没掉。

DandelionI will do my best to evacuate them.我会尽量让她们离开的。

CommanderI'm counting on you. Commander out.拜托了，完毕。

CommanderKalin, did you hear that? I've planted the bombs on my end. Take our forces and get to high ground. I'm detonating them in five minutes.格琳，能听到吗？我这边炸弹设置好了，你带着我们的梯队往高处移动，五分钟后炸弹就会引爆。

KalinaBut what about you?! The soldiers are starting to fall back, why don't we launch an assault?那您怎么办？！ 那些士兵开始后退了，要不我们再发动一次攻击！

CommanderDon't take any more risks. I'll find a way to get back on my own. Commander out.别再冒险了，我会想办法自己回来的，完毕。

Military TrooperPorechenkov, take your squad and follow me! Cyka! 9-3, do you copy? Someone got the second lieutenant, there's an enemy infiltrator here! Search the surroundings and find the damn rat!普莱切科夫，带着你的小队跟上我！ 苏卡，9-3听得到么？少尉被干掉了，有敌人渗透进来了！ 搜索周围，把该死的老鼠找出来！

CommanderWell, they didn't waste any time.来得真快。

The troops near the bunker begin approaching. I look at the detonator and the weapon I'm holding; it's plain to see that a stand-up fight against the incoming troops is not the best option. Also, I have a more important mission to carry out. However, the soldiers have almost surrounded me, and I probably won't be able to use my previous trick to sneak past them again.掩体附近有士兵开始靠近过来。我看了看手里的装备和引爆器，用这些和过来的一个班直接对抗显然不是最好的选择。 更何况我还有更重要的任务。 但是士兵已经快要形成包抄之势，想故技重施潜行回去恐怕也不可行了。

Military TrooperOver here!在这里！

Commander!!!！！

Right now, hesitation means death. I spray the soldiers with my commandeered rifle and rush out as quickly as I can while they dive for cover.此时待在原地就是等死。我用缴获来的步枪朝着士兵扫射，在他们寻找掩护时用最快的速度冲了出去。

Military TrooperFound the rat! Open fire!找到老鼠了，射击！

Bullets fall like rain, hot on the heels of my feet. I throw the rifle aside without a second thought and run past the junction up ahead at top speed. I dodge the last few bullets and elude the enemies' pursuit by rolling into a narrow alley.落雨般的子弹紧追着脚步而来。 我无暇顾及掉落的步枪，只能用尽全速冲过面前的路口。 翻滚着躲避掉最后几颗子弹，我扑进小巷里，再次躲藏起来。

Military TrooperMove up and flank them! Don't let the rat escape!包抄过去！不要让老鼠跑了！

The soldiers shoot into the alley where I'm hiding in pairs, one kneeling, one standing. I hear another team approach the alley, but the fire on my side is too heavy and I can't poke my head out. There is a clatter, followed by the sound of something rolling into the alley. ...It's a grenade.士兵以两人一组以蹲姿和站姿贴在一起向我所在的小巷里射击。 我听得出还有另一个小组一边进行点射一边靠近小巷边缘，但向这里倾泻的火力太过密集，我根本无法探头。 咔哒、咕噜噜。什么东西滚进了这条巷子。 ……是手雷。

CommanderUrk!唔！

Boom! I drop to the ground a moment before the explosion, and the concussion from the blast in close proximity leaves my ears ringing. I immediately — or perhaps a few seconds later — scramble to my feet, panting heavily as I hug the wall. My skin grows clammy with sweat — whether it's due to panic or physical exertion, I do not know. My left arm hurts like hell, and the numbness in my fingertips seems to suggest the worst. I reach under my clothes with my right hand and feel warmth and wetness everywhere.轰！ 在爆炸前的一瞬间，我趴倒在地，过近的震响带来无法停止的耳鸣声。我立刻——也可能是过了几秒才爬起来，靠着墙大口喘息。 汗水一直在冒，分不清到底是冷汗还是过度运动所致。左臂痛得厉害，手指麻木的感觉预示着最糟的情况。 我将右手伸进衣衫里确认，触手处一片温热潮湿。

CommanderWhat rotten luck...运气真不好啊……

The enemy is approaching and I don't have much time. I transfer the detonation trigger from my coat pocket to my left hand. I'm relieved to see that the hand isn't injured too badly — I can still make a fist with it. I take out my pistol and prepare to make one last gamble. This sure brings back memories... But compared to my current state, what I went through before might as well have been a nice picnic.敌人越来越近，时间已经不多了。 我用力摇了摇头甩掉汗水，将怀里的引爆器握在左手上。还好这只手没有糟到无法握拳。 我拔出手枪，做好最后一搏的准备。 真是似曾相识的场景……不过比起现在，那时还真是酒会一样悠闲啊。

CommanderYou know, when I first took this job... You never told me it would involve this level of occupational hazards, Boss... (Sighs) Sadly, I doubt I'll be able to collect my overtime pay from you.当初应聘的时候……可没说有这么大职业风险啊，老板。 哈……哈，可惜没法找你要加班费了。

The soldiers' gunshots have grown so deafeningly loud. Looks like they're going to get past my cover any second now. I suppose I should at least give myself a more dignified death. I prop myself up against my cover and take aim—士兵们的枪声在变大，简直到了振聋发聩的地步。 照这个样子，很快就会跨越掩体了吧。 坐以待毙就太逊了。我从掩体中抬身，举枪瞄准——

A shot is fired — but not from the soldiers. It's from further away.枪声忽然响起了。不是士兵的位置，而是更远的地方。

Military TrooperHm?!嗯！？

CommanderThat...wasn't a handgun. Strange, where did these reinforcements come from?这枪声，不是手枪。 奇怪，这又是哪里的援兵？

Bang! Bangbang! A soldier falls as a bullet catches him in the head. The other soldiers look around frantically, trying to locate the shooter, but they're soon hit as well. In an instant, the battlefield is silent once more.嘭！嘭！ 士兵应声头部中弹倒下，剩下的士兵试图回过头寻找射击者的位置，但是很快也被命中要害。 转眼间，这处战场重归寂静。

???Saving your life costs extra, Commander. Remember to put another 0 on the end of our fee when you get back.救下指挥官您的命可是额外的付费服务啊，回去后记得在报酬后面多加一个零哦。

CommanderIs that 404?404？

UMP45How does it feel, Commander? Don't you want to burst out laughing upon seeing your heaven-sent reinforcements? It's too early to laugh, though. Only 416 and I managed to sneak in. We'll think of a way to get you out of here.怎么样，指挥官，看到天降援兵是不是开心得要笑出声了？ 不过不要笑得太早，渗透进来的只有我和416，我们会想办法带你离开的。

416Hang in there. We'll be with you right away.坚持住，我们马上就过来。

CommanderWe need to get to high ground. The sea valves are about to blow.我们想办法找到高处的地方，通海阀马上就要引爆了。

UMP45Then we'd better hurry. Escaping from such an exposed position won't be easy. (Sighs) ...As much as I don't want to, we'll need to ask them for help.那我们得加快速度了，我们的位置暴露的现在，想离开可没有那么容易。 唉……虽然不情愿，但是只能请求她们的支援了。

LunasiaYou really do like this garden very much, considering how you come here to keep me company every day. My apologies... (Coughs) If only I wasn't so weak and feeble.

Once the storm passes, Father will surely bring us back.你真的是很喜欢这个花园啊，每天都来这里陪我。 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。 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。
