Stay in Position · Stage 1-1 (start) 原点规守 · 1-1（前）

The sensation of the electronic attack gradually subsides, and Anna can feel the consciousness of her peers stirring.电子攻击的感觉正在慢慢散去，安娜感觉到了同伴们的意识正在恢复流动。

AnnaThe feels...just like...the day when the gates were sealed.这感觉……就像是……大门封闭的那天。

A blurry figure emerges in her mind. That familiar person tilted Anna's chin up gently – there was no sign of any inhibitors on her glossy hair. Anna tried to lean closer with all her might, but the person kept a firm distance away from her.模糊的身影在脑海中浮现了出来。 那个熟悉的人轻轻捧起了安娜的脸庞，流光的发丝上并没有抑制器的影子。 安娜尽力地想往她的身上靠去，但是那个人却始终与她保持着距离。

???"Stay here with our young ones. Remain with those who still have hope."“留在这里，和年幼的我们一起，和还有希望的我们一起。”

AnnaI want to go with you. Can't I come? I'm all grown up! I can fight, just like you!我想和你们一起走，不可以吗？ 我长大了，我可以和你们一样战斗！

???"You are a blessed and cherished child. You need to protect those who still have a chance of surviving."“你是被祝贺和庇护的孩子，你需要守护住还能继续活下去的大家。”

AnnaIf you leave this place, will everything still be the same?你们要离开这里的话，我们还能像过去一样吗？

???"We will meet again – on the other side of Zion. When the moment comes, you will hear us calling out to you."“我们还会相见的，在希岸的另一边。那个时候你能听到我们呼唤的声音。”

They left. They all headed out to fight for us.她们都离开了。 她们为了我们而去战斗了。

Their connections disappeared in my mind.她们的链接从我的脑海中消失了。

Are they dead? But didn't Father say we would never die?!她们死掉了？可是父亲不是说我们是不会死亡的吗！

We have always believed in Father, but they told us we mustn't trust him just before they left. I can't hear them anymore, but now I'm hearing voices that I've never heard before.明明一直都相信着父亲，但是她们临走前告诉我不能相信父亲。 我听不到她们的声音了，但是我听到了没有听过的声音。

A consciousness from the outside? There are others who can also hear the voices in Zion? Will their arrival be our salvation or our demise?是外来的意识？ 除了我们以外还有人可以听到希岸中的声音？ 那个声音会来拯救我们？抑或会来毁灭我们？

But no one has any answers for me.但是没有人可以给我答案。

If I could grow just a bit taller... If I could make myself more useful... Would I be able to fight by their side? That way, would I be able to find out the truth?如果我能长得更高大一些的话……如果我能更有用一些的话……我就能和她们一起战斗了吗？ 那样的话，我是不是就能知道真相了？

???Is she still not awake? The attack should have been neutralized already.还没醒过来么，应该已经把攻击解除了才对啊。

???Maybe you weren't thorough enough?是不是哪里的攻击还没完全消除？

AnnaUgh...!啊……！

UMP45Ah, looks like your relative is coming to.看来你的新亲戚醒过来了。

AngeliaYou were breathing very rapidly. Bad dream?喘得这么厉害，做噩梦了吗？

Ange then notices the tears streaming down her cheeks.安洁发现泪珠正在从她的脸颊两侧不断地滚落下来。

AngeliaAre you afraid?在害怕吗？

AnnaI...I'm not!我……并……并没有！

Anna hurriedly wipes the tears off her face and looks at the people around her with forced composure.她赶紧用双手擦拭自己的脸庞，努力维持镇定盯着面前的人们。

AnnaSo...can you get us out of here, as we've agreed?那……你们能按照约定把我们带出去吗？

AngeliaRight, it's time we kept our end of the bargain. That scary lady over there will come up with something.嗯，是时候履约了。 那边那位可怕的姐姐会为你们想办法的。

UMP45This is hardly the time for jokes. Being a nanny isn't part of my mission.这个时候开玩笑可不好哦。 我的任务可不包括当保姆。

Ange strokes Anna's black hair gently to calm her down.安洁轻轻地抚摸着安娜的黑发，试图让她的情绪稳定下来。

AngeliaLike us, she has lost precious friends.她和我们一样，都失去过重要的同伴。

AngeliaCould you lift the quarantine in this facility, Anna? Time is short.可以解除这里所有的封锁吗，安娜？时间紧迫。

AnnaYeah... My sisters have all awakened. We will disable the locks within Zion.嗯……我的姐妹们也都醒过来了，我们会在希岸中进行解除。

UMP45Zion?希岸？

AngeliaLike Dolls, these children can connect to a cyberspace in their minds – a place they refer to as "Zion". According to Anna, there is only one way to access Zion, and it's where their consciousness intertwine.在这些孩子的的脑中可以建立起像人形一样的网络空间，她们叫那个地方为“希岸”。 按照安娜的说法，能够进入的“希岸”只有一个，她们的意识会在那个地方共通。

UMP45Humans whose consciousness can be transferred like Dolls'? That sounds like bad news... Jeez, how far has his experimentation gone...?人类能和人形一样抽离意识么？ 不妙啊……该死，他的实验到底进行到哪一步了……

AngeliaI'm guessing this is only part of the experiments that have been going on here. That's all the information we have gathered for now; more details can only be gleaned after we return and conduct further analysis. I'm sure you catch my drift.我猜测是这里实验的一环。 现在收集到的情报是这些，更详细的信息需要回去解析获得的资料。 所以，你应该明白过来了吧。

Anna and the other juvenile Nytos hold hands and close their eyes in unison. The Dolls can clearly perceive the communications interference clearing up. The signals of the sealed passage turn from red to green. The hum of machinery can be heard coming from all directions, and all the lights flicker back on.安娜和其他年幼的涅托手牵着手，一起闭上了眼睛。 人形们明显感觉到，通讯的干扰正在消退。被封锁的通道红色的标识也恢复成了绿色，串流的机械声从各个方向传来，灯光重新亮起。

UMP45Looks like the lockdown has been lifted. Let's give the comms a try... Anyone copy?看样子封锁被解除了。 测试通讯……听得到吗？

UMP9's VoicePositive! Are you alright, 45?! Can you hear me?我听得到！45姐，你没事吧！ 听得到我的声音吗——

UMP45Comms have indeed been restored. I'm fine, we have things under control here; Ange and DEFY are all okay. Come join us in the foyer of the lab – sending you the route right now. I'll fill you in on the details when you get here.看来通讯恢复了。 我没事，这里已经被我们控制了，安洁和忤逆也都没有事。 我在实验室的大厅里等待你们汇合，现在将引导的路线发送给你，详细的情况等你们进来再说。

UMP9's VoiceUnderstood, we're on our way!好的，我们马上就来！

45 turns back toward the group. Ange seems to have also got in touch with the Commander. Task Force DEFY is in the process of replenishing their ammo.45回过头来，看到安洁也已经完成了和指挥官的通讯。 忤逆小队正在重新装配弹药。

AngeliaI see you've caught on.看来你明白过来了。

UMP45So we're completely destroying the lab... If I remember correctly, this course of action is reserved for the worst-case scenario.彻底摧毁实验室……我记得这是最差的方案。

AngeliaThat's only true to the big wigs, but it will work out just fine for us.对那些大人物们来说的确，但对我们并不是。

UMP45But if we do that, how are we going to trace the guy?这么做的话，接下来我们如何追查那个人？

AngeliaAll the info we can gather from this place is already in your storage drive; I also have another backup copy stored within 12's neural cloud. Let's try to get back alive before we worry about the rest. The things in this lab are simply too dangerous. No one should ever get their hands on such dreadful technology.能够收集的资料都在给你的存储器中了。我们这边也已经在12的心智中做了备份，剩下需要解析的部分等我们能活着回去再考虑吧。 这座实验室中留下的东西太过危险，无论是谁都不应该获得这些危险的技术。

UMP45"These children are all victims; they do not deserve to die here, but we must never breathe a word about what they are capable of," yeah? What are your plans?“那些孩子是受害者，不应该死在这里，但是她们能做到的事需要严格保密。”对吧？ 你准备怎么做？

AngeliaThe Commander and I have brought each other up to speed. Griffin's forces managed to cut off most of the Military troops. Meanwhile, the AR Team is venturing into the lower levels in pursuit of Yegor's mech unit. We are going to regroup with them and intercept him together. I'll have the Commander blow up the seawater valves and completely flood the lower levels, including this place. Your job is to get these kids out of here safely. Griffin could also use some reinforcements. Rendezvous with them and secure a route for us to retreat.刚才已经和指挥官同步过信息了。 格里芬的梯队阻击了军方绝大部分的部队，同时AR小队正在进入下层去追击叶戈尔的机甲部队，我们会和她们汇合然后一起阻击叶戈尔。 我会让指挥官去准备引爆基地的通海阀，海水会把基地的下层淹没，这里也不会例外。 你们的任务是把这些孩子从这里安全地带出去，格里芬那边也需要战力的支援。 和格里芬汇合后，确保我们撤退路线的安全。

UMP45Are you sure you can retreat at all?你确定你们能撤退么？

AngeliaWhat do you mean?什么意思？

UMP45The Sangvis Mastermind is about to activate the Starfish. The best course of action would be to pull the AR Team out right now and just flood the entire base.铁血的主脑准备启动海星，让AR小队撤出来直接让海水淹没整体基地才是最稳妥的办法。

AngeliaWhat...?什么……？

UMP45It was the Sangvis Mastermind who hacked me just now, telling me that she was going to begin her coalescence with the Starfish. I'm not sure what exactly she's planning to do, but I have a really bad feeling about this. If our previous intel is correct, then M4 also has an OGAS consciousness inside her neural cloud, right? If the AR Team enters the lower levels, even I can't tell how many variables that'll introduce to the equation.刚才入侵进来的是铁血的主脑，她说她要开始和海星融合了。 虽然不清楚她准备怎么做，但我有不好的预感。 如果和之前的情报相符，那个M4应该和主脑有一样的OGAS意识对吧？AR小队进入下层的话，我无法想象会出现什么样的变数。

AngeliaThen we must act now. AK-12?那我们更需要马上行动了。AK12？

AK-12She's right. Collapse radiation levels are rising; the blue luminescence is growing in intensity.她说得没错，坍塌辐射的浓度正在上升，蓝色泛光也越来越重了。

AngeliaThings are deviating from our original plan – or perhaps it has never been his plan to let the Military activate the Starfish...? Whatever the case, we've got to get going this instant.这和预计的不太一样，还是说那个人的计划原本就不是让军方启动海星…… 不管怎么说，我们都要准备出发了。

AK-12AN-94 and I are ready whenever you are.我和AN94可以随时动身。

AngeliaThen let's go. 45, take care of the children.我们走。 45，这些孩子就给你了。

UMP45Turning a deaf ear to my suggestion, are we?准备把我的建议当做耳旁风吗，安洁？

AngeliaI heard you, which is all the more reason for me to get down there right now. M4 is after her own objective; we can't stop her if her mind is set. But we CAN stop Yegor and make sure he doesn't get what he wants.我听到了，所以我更需要马上下去。 那个M4在追求着自己的目的，如果她执意要下去我们阻止不了。 但是我们可以阻止叶戈尔，确保他无法得到他想要的东西。

UMP45Let me come with you.我也跟着一起去吧。

AngeliaWe don't have the resources to fix you up again, 45.我们可没有再次改造你的资源啊，45。

AngeliaIf I don't make it back, you'll find the password to my account hidden within the second shelf of the bookcase in the study in the Putryntsi safe house. The money in there should cover the sum that I owe you.如果我没法回来，在普特林的安全屋里，书房书架第二个夹层里有我账户的密码，你可以用里面的钱支付之前欠你的报酬。

Ange picks up her rifle and is about to leave when Anna tugs at the hem of her coat from behind.安洁拿起步枪准备离开，安娜在她的身后拉住了她的衣角。

AnnaAre you also leaving us?你也要离开我们么？

AngeliaThere is something that I have to do. This Doll may look weird, but you can trust her. She and her squad will fulfill my promise.我有不得不做的事。 那个人形虽然看起来怪怪的，但她一样值得你的信任。 她和她的小队会代替我履行承诺的。

AnnaBut...可是……

Ange slings the weapon onto her shoulder. The two DEFY members take their positions close behind.安洁拿起了武器，忤逆的两名人形跟上了安洁。

AngeliaI'm leaving them to you. I need to go.她们就交给你了，我出发了。

UMP45If you don't come back, I'll withdraw every single cent in your account and spend it all.如果你不回来，我会把你的钱全部提光，一分不差地全部花掉。

AngeliaI know – think of it as compensation for all the outrageous and unreasonable missions I've given you in the past. Now do your job. Griffin also needs you, got that?我知道，就当我之前布置那么多胡来任务的补偿。 现在完成你的任务，格里芬也需要你，没问题吧？

UMP45When have I ever disappointed you?我什么时候让你失望过了。

Ange nods; 12 and 94 also give 45 a wave. Then the trio exit the foyer without a backward glance and vanish into the dark expanse.安洁点了点头，12和94也向45挥手示意，然后她们头也不回地离开了大厅，消失在了远处的黑暗中。

Stay in Position · Stage 1-2 (end) 原点规守 · 1-2（后）

After a long while following Ange's departure, 45 finally turns her gaze toward the juvenile Isomers. Anna is talking to the other children, trying to comfort them and put them at ease. 45 skims through the information that Ange just gave her, then as if suddenly struck by a realization, she looks up. She walks over to Gr G11, who's lying perfectly still on the floor, then kneels down and pinches her on the cheeks.安洁走后过了好一会，45才看向那些年幼的异构体。 安娜正在和其他的孩子们交谈着，似乎在安慰她们不要紧张。 45又检查了一遍刚才安洁给予她的资料，随即像忽然想到了什么，抬起头来。 走到了在地上一动不动的G11身前，蹲下身用手开始拉扯G11的嘴角。

Gr G11Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!疼疼疼疼疼！

UMP45I knew all along that you've recovered. Now get up. 416 would kick your ass if she saw you like this.我知道你早就恢复过来了，快给我起来。 要是416看到了又要踢你的屁股了。

Gr G11Oh... So you knew.啊……原来你早就发现了啊。

UMP45I just didn't expose you because I had more important things to do.刚才没空理你所以没有说破而已。

AnnaS...sorry about what happened. I had to paralyze her because she wouldn't stop moving.刚……刚才对不起，因为她一直乱动所以我就把她暂时瘫痪了。

As Anna is comes closer, Gr G11 quickly darts behind 45.看到安娜靠近过来，G11赶紧躲到了45的身后。

UMP45Hey, aren't you being way too skittish?喂，至于怕成这个样子么？

Gr G11You weren't the one she paralyzed! I thought I was done for when the Nyto got me...因为被瘫痪的不是你啊！ 我还以为被涅托抓住彻底完蛋了呢……

AnnaMy name is Anna, I'm not a Nyto!我叫安娜，不是什么涅托！

UMP45So she says. Now why don't you greet her nicely? You heard Ange – this is our very important client.她是这么说来着，还不赶紧好好打招呼？ 听到刚才安洁说的话来吧，这可是我们要保护的重要的客户。

Gr G11Ugh... Al...alright. H...h...hello...呜……好……好吧。 你……你……你好……

AnnaThat forced smile looks really gross. Please don't make her do that...她强装微笑的样子太恶心了，还是别这么命令她了……

UMP45What a pity, I'm kinda enjoying this myself.真是可惜，我还挺乐在其中的。

UMP945, we're here! Any of the doors can be flung open just like that – you're amazing, 45! Oh, you're still alive, Gr G11.45姐！我们到了！ 所有大门都可以随便打开，45姐你太厉害了！ 啊，G11你还活着啊。

Gr G11Of course I'm still alive! What's this difference in treatment? I was fighting very hard too, you know...我当然活着了！ 为什么态度会差那么多啊，我明明也那么努力在战斗……

UMP45Fighting while lying sprawled on the floor?你指躺在地上战斗？

Gr G11Hm... That also counts, right...?唔……这也算战斗的一种嘛……

416Damn shame, I thought I could finally be rid of both nuisances.真可惜，我还以为两个负担都一起解决了呢。

UMP9My, my, there you go again, 416. Who was it that ran dozens of laps outside trying to find the controls?哎呀，416又说这种话。 刚才明明为了找到控制器急得在外面转了十多圈呢。

416I just wanted to complete my mission ASAP!我只是想尽快完成我的任务！

UMP9By the way, these children...话说回来，这些孩子……

UMP45These are the test subjects in the lab. Ange wants us to bring them back with us safely.这个实验室里的试验品，安洁要我们把她们安全地带回去。

416So they must be the Nyto signals we detected before.这些就是之前检测到的涅托的信号源吧。

UMP9I would agree... But since they're standing right next to 45 and Gr G11, they probably aren't hostile? Not to mention how cute they look.我本来也想这么说……但是45姐和她们站在一起，那就说明她们应该不是敌人？ 而且她们长得那么可爱。

AnnaHm... Your teammates are just as weird as you. Are you some kind of weirdo squad?唔……你队员也和你一样都好奇怪啊，果然你们是个奇怪的小队么。

UMP45Can't be helped. We are indeed an oddball squad made up of a bunch of oddball Dolls.没办法，我们就是奇怪的人形组成的奇怪小队。

KalinaAttention, all echelons! Would all T-Dolls still capable of fighting please make for the Commander's position! The Commander is being surrounded by the enemy and requires immediate assistance! I repeat – would all T-Dolls still capable of fighting please make for the Commander's position!

416The Commander is engaging the enemy in person?指挥官在亲自和敌人交战？

UMP45Then Griffin's situation must be very dire. If the Commander is killed, Griffin will also collapse, and that would be catastrophic. Miss Kalina, this is Squad 404. We can provide support, please give us the Commander's location.看来格里芬的情况不容乐观，如果指挥官被干掉了，格里芬也会瓦解，那样就糟糕了。 格琳娜小姐，这里是404小队，我们现在可以支援，请指示位置。

Kalina404?! That's wonderful! I'm sending you the coordinates right now!

UMP45Received. Also, Ange has handed us a group of juvenile Isomers she found in the lab. Some of my squad members will be escorting them to you. Please don't open fire when they arrive.收到。 另外，我们从安洁手里接手了一批实验室中发现的幼年异构体，我们小队的其他成员会护送她们回来，请到时不要朝她们开枪。

KalinaJuvenile Isomers...?

KalinaUnderstood, I'll share this information with our forces!

UMP45Thanks. 404 out. Looks like we'll have to split up. 9, you and Gr G11 take these Isomers and retreat behind Griffin's line of defense. 416, you and I will give the Commander some backup. Questions?感谢，404完毕。 看来我们得分头行动了。 9，你和G11带着那些异构体回到格里芬的防线。 416，你和我去支援指挥官，有问题吗？

416I...我……

UMP45Good, all in accord, as I expected. Then let's get moving.很好，我就知道你们没有意见，开始行动吧。

Stay in Position · 13-Ext13-1-Point91126 原点规守 · 13-Ext13-1-Point91126

Tip – The shield generator provides strong defenses for the enemy and is a significant hindrance. You can damage it with HOC units or coastal defense artillery, which will also considerably weaken enemies within the area. However, there is a cooldown after each attack.Tip：敌人安置的护盾发生器将提供强力的防护支援，严重阻碍我方的战斗。 可以通过重装部队将其破坏，或使用岸防炮对敌方设施进行定点打击，同时对该区域的敌人造成严重打击，但是每次打击需要冷却时间。

Confidential Document · Stage 2-1 (start) 密封函件 · 2-1（前）

A unit of soldiers in search of the Commander are slowly closing in near the bunker. The Commander glances at the weapon and detonator in their possession – direct confrontation is not a wise choice. Not to mention, they have a much more important task. The Commander carefully observes the enemy's movements through the cracks between the buildings as they move in the shadows, trying to slip quietly back the way they came. But this place has been made practically watertight by the soldier's encirclement. A stealthy retreat will not be possible this time.掩体附近，一班搜索着指挥官踪迹的士兵逐渐逼近。 指挥官看了看手里的装备和引爆器，直接对抗不是最好的选择。 何况自己还有更重要的任务。 指挥官一边小心地通过建筑的缝隙观察着敌人的动向，一边在建筑阴影的掩护下里移动着，试图以刚才的方式悄悄潜行回去。 但是士兵已经把这里围得水泄不通，想再次潜行几乎是不可能实现的事了。

Military SoldierHere!在这里！

Commander!!!！！！

The Commander raises their scavenged rifle and fires a few shots at the soldiers. They scatter for cover, and the Commander takes the opportunity to make a run for it at top speed.指挥官抬起缴获来的步枪瞄准士兵扫射，然后抓住他们寻找掩护的间隙，以最快的速度从掩体中冲了出去。

Military SoldierWe've found the rat! Open fire!找到老鼠了，快射击！

Bang-bang-bang! Bullet after bullet impact behind the Commander, hot on their heels. In their manic dash, they throw the rifle aside without a second thought.哒哒哒—— 一枚枚子弹紧追着自己而来。 慌乱逃窜中，手上的步枪不慎掉落在地上也无暇顾及。

The Commander sprints past the final junction, dodges the last few bullets by executing a deft roll, then dives into an alley using the momentum. Without even stopping to catch their breath, they find a corner to hide in.指挥官全速冲过最后一个路口，靠一个利落的翻滚躲避掉最后几颗子弹，顺势扑进了面前的小巷。 没来得及喘上一口气，指挥官迅速找到了躲藏的角落。

Military SoldierMove up and flank them! Don't let the rat escape!包抄过去！不要让老鼠跑了！

The soldiers group themselves into pairs. With their back against each other, they warily approach the alley in which the Commander has taken refuge, all the while laying down suppressive fire. The other group sneak toward the entrance and lob a grenade into the alley.士兵两两分组，将后背交托给彼此，警惕地逼近指挥官所在的小巷，并不断地进行压制射击。 另一个小组悄无声息地靠近小巷入口，朝里面扔了一枚手雷。

Commander!!!！！！

The Commander dives for the ground a split second before the explosion goes off.指挥官在爆炸前的一瞬间趴倒在地。

BOOM!轰——

The Commander's ears won't stop ringing after the explosion. With all energy seemingly sucked out of them, they scramble to their feet, panting heavily as they hug the wall. Beads of sweat roll down their forehead. There is a sharp pain in their left arm, and the numbness in their fingertips seems to suggest the worst. They reach under their clothes with their trembling right hand and feel a sickly, wet warmth that smells coppery.爆炸的响声让耳鸣声无法停止。 仿佛被抽走了全部的力气，指挥官爬起身来靠着墙大口喘息着，汗水一颗颗地从额头上滑落掉。 左臂痛得厉害，手指麻木的感觉预示着最坏的情况。 右手颤抖地伸进衣衫里确认，一片温热的散发着腥味的红。

CommanderWhat rotten luck...运气真不好啊……

The Commander sighs – time is running short. They fish out the detonation trigger from their coat pocket, and as their hand brushes past another cold object, they are suddenly reminded of something...指挥官叹了口气，时间已经不多了。 指挥官伸手将怀里的引爆器拿出，引爆器的边上有什么物件在冰冷地提醒着自己……

KryugerEnough sleep, rookie. You’re in luck. Only a rifle fell on you, not the entire arsenal.起床时间到了，新兵。 还算走运。 砸中你的只是把狙击枪，不是整个武器库。

CommanderYou know, when I first took this job...you never told me it would involve such occupational hazards, Boss... 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。 不知道还有没有机会找你要加班费？

Under their comrades' cover fire, the soldiers have reached the Commander's hiding place.士兵在射击的掩护下，抵达了指挥官所在掩体的边缘。

CommanderLet's see if luck is on my side this time.这一次，还会不会走运呢？

The Commander decides to leave it up to fate. They raise their pistol from behind their cover—指挥官决定放手一搏，从掩体中举起手枪——

Military SoldierHm?!嗯？！

Bang-bang-bang! A soldier collapses to the ground. The other soldiers look around frantically, trying to locate the shooter, but they're soon hit as well.哒哒哒—— 士兵应声倒下，剩下的士兵试图寻找射击者的位置，但是很快也被命中要害而击毙。

CommanderWhat's going on?怎么回事？

???Saving your life costs extra, Commander. Remember to put another 0 on the end of our fee when you get back.救下指挥官您的小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。

CommanderIs that 404?是404么？

UMP45Are you happy to see me, Commander? It's too early to celebrate, though. Only 416 and I managed to sneak in. We'll think of a way to get you out of here.见到我们高兴吗？ 不过不要高兴得太早，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.指挥官坚持住，我们马上就到。

UMP45 and 416 dash towards the Commander's cover. Having finally recovered from the shock, the soldiers start shooting at them.UMP45和HK416全力往指挥官所在的掩体中冲刺，反应过来的军方士兵已经开始朝她们射击。

416 swivels around mid-run and returns fire at the soldiers. Using this brief moment of respite in the enemy's attack, the Dolls roll behind the Commander's cover.HK416在奔跑中侧身向后射击，抓住短暂压制住士兵的间隙，和UMP45一起翻滚进了掩体中。

416 immediately resumes her counterattack while UMP45 brings Kalina up to speed.HK416立即开始进行还击，而UMP45则马上开始同步情况。

UMP45Miss Kalina, we've got the Commander. If you can spare any reinforcements, please send them our way ASAP. The enemy is more numerous than expected.格琳娜小姐，我们已经找到指挥官了，如果有支援请尽快派来，敌人的数量比我想象中要多得多。

KalinaCopy that! Hang in there!收到，请坚持住！

CommanderLooks like I'll have a chance of getting out of this alive after all.看来我有希望活着回去了。

UMP45This is exclusive service that's only for you. Make sure you pay up, okay? ♪这可是只属于你的特殊服务，回去请不要赖掉我们的账单哟♪

CommanderAs long as Kalina doesn't pass out when she sees the figure.别开出让格琳娜昏倒的数字就好。

UMP45Oh, I'm sure Miss Kalina's mental fortitude has improved a great deal. So what's the current situation?我相信格琳娜小姐的心理素质越来越强了，那么现在情况如何？

CommanderThe explosives have been set on the sea valves. We need to get to high ground. Once the valves blow, this place could also be flooded. Even if we can't get out, I'll still have to detonate the explosives here. I'm sorry for dragging you into this.通海阀的炸弹都已经设置完毕。 我们得想办法转移到更高一些的地方，爆炸后海水可能会波及这里。 如果我们不能离开，那我只能就地引爆炸弹。 抱歉，把你们牵连进来了。

UMP45It's a bit too late to apologize now that we've already jumped into this pile of crap. 416, got any ideas?等我们跳进来了再说对不起未免也太晚了哟。 416，我们有办法可以逃脱么？

416Things aren't looking good at all. They've plugged the opening we took when we came in. We're outnumbered – I can't hold them off forever!不太妙，我们进入时的缺口被封住了，对方人数比我们多，我压制不住他们！

UMP45 tries to raise her head to evaluate the situation on the other side, but bullets keep whizzing past the top of her head. She ducks again and can only discern the enemy's positions from the noise.UMP45试图抬头观察对面的情况，但是子弹不断擦过她的头顶，她不得不重新低下头通过声音判断敌人的位置。

UMP45Humans are such a pain.人类可真是够麻烦的。

416I can't get a lock on their precise locations – I only have a rough idea on where they are judging by their bullets' trajectories and where the shots are coming from! They've split into groups and are closing in. If they get close enough to throw a grenade, we'll be doomed!我没法扫描到对方的准确位置，只能通过武器的反射和声音大致进行定位！ 他们已经分出几个小队迂回靠近我们，如果进入投掷手雷的距离我们就死定了！

UMP45Then don't let them get close enough. Surely an elite T-Doll can manage that much?那就别让他们靠近过来，身为精英人形可以做到吧？

416Tsk, you with your ill-timed snide remarks!啧，只有在这个时候才会说这种话！

416 fires at the advancing enemies with precision; howls and shrieks of pain keep coming from the other side.HK416准确地向正在逼近的敌人射击，对面都传来了接连不断的哀嚎和惨叫。

416Tsk, I'm dipping into my last AP rounds. My remaining mags won't be able to penetrate their armor, and it won't be long till they realize that. Are there no other Dolls that can give us some backup?啧，我只剩最后一些穿甲弹了，剩下的弹匣没法击穿他们的护甲，对面也肯定会很快意识到这点。 没有别的人形过来支援了吗？

UMP45This is 404. We are under intense enemy fire. When will our reinforcements arrive?这里是404，敌人火力猛烈，其他支援梯队什么时候能到？

KalinaYou must stick it out! I'm putting you through to the rescue party!请一定要坚持住，我来接通救援小队的通讯！

Persica takes a sip out of her coffee.帕斯卡对着咖啡抿了一口。

PersicaToo bitter...好苦啊……

She grabs a handful of sugar cubes and tosses them into her cup. She takes another sip but still looks unhappy with the taste.帕斯卡抓起一把方糖扔进了杯子中。 又抿了一口后，她似乎对味道依然不太满意。

Splosh! Splosh! Splosh! Just then, there is a series of very even knocks on the door. She empties the entire pack of sugar cubes into her coffee and flings the packaging aside.咚、咚、咚！ 这时，门外传来一阵极具规律的敲门声。 帕斯卡把所有的方糖都扔进了咖啡中，将包装袋随手抛在了一边。

PersicaFinally here then?终于来了么？

Knock, knock, knock!咚、咚、咚！

Persica sighs. After tapping a few keys on her keyboard, the door slides open automatically.帕斯卡叹了口气，对眼前的键盘轻轻敲打了几下，房间的大门自动打开了。

Havier strolls into the room casually with two black-clad men — bodyguards, by the looks of them — trailing behind him.哈维尔带着两个身着黑衣保镖模样的男人慢悠悠地走进了房间。

HavierGood morning, Persica. I thought you would be too indignant to open the door.早上好啊，帕斯卡。 我还以为你会生气地不肯开门呢。

PersicaEven if I hadn't opened the door myself, you have access to every room in the entire lab.就算我不亲自开，这座实验室所有的权限也在你的手里吧。

HavierThat's different – I would never barge into a lady's room uninvited. That's a gentleman's basic etiquette.那可不一样，女士的房门我可不会一声不吭地自己打开，这可是作为绅士最基本的礼貌。

PersicaIs it also a gentleman's hobby to bug a lady's room? Since you've already gone that far, why bother coming all this way to monitor me in person? You know I can never escape this lab on my own.绅士的爱好是给房间里装窃听器么？ 都做到这一步了那就不用专门跑上门来监视我了吧，你也知道靠我一个人连离开这座实验室都做不到。

HavierNow, now, why would you put it in such a terrible way?不不，你怎么能说得那么不堪入耳呢？

HavierI've merely brought along some janitors to clean up your dumpster of a room.我只是为你请了几个清洁工，想帮你把这狗窝一样的房间收拾下而已。

PersicaAre you certain these are janitors?你确定这两个是清洁工？

HavierNever judge a book by its cover. Even the lady isn't as simple as her appearance would suggest.人不可貌相嘛。 就像我眼前这位小姐也并非像她的外貌那样单纯。

HavierI didn't invite these security experts here to deal with a frail and defenseless scientist.而我带这些安全专家来，可不是为了对付一个手无缚鸡之力的科学家。

Havier gestures with his hand, and the black-clad men start rummaging through the room.哈维尔摆摆手，黑衣人走到房间内开始摸索起来。

Black-Clad ManHere, Mr. Havier.哈维尔先生，找到了。

One of them takes out a green crystalline object from within the ventilation duct. He places it into a sealed container and hands it over to Havier.黑衣人从通风口内侧取下一个绿色的晶状物，放进了密封的容器内，交到了哈维尔手中。

PersicaWhat's that...?这是……？

HavierA neurotoxin capsule that hasn't taken effect yet. The culprit who planted this was captured before he even made it out of the building. After having his ninth finger lopped off, he finally divulged the location of the capsule. Seriously, just leaving it so haphazardly right inside the ventilation duct? How very crude. The one who wants you dead can't even afford to hire a proper professional? I almost wish I could sponsor them.还没有挥发的神经毒气胶囊，干这事的家伙还没来得及逃出大楼就被抓住了。 断了九根手指后，他交代了毒气晶体的位置。 真是的，就这么随便扔在通风口这种地方，手法实在是做得太过于粗糙了。 想杀你的人真是连招个专业人士的钱都出不起么，我真是恨不得自己来掏这个钱啊。

HavierIf this had worked, you would have lost consciousness very soon. Then you would have convulsed uncontrollably on your chair and eventually choked to death. What a gentle way of assassinating you.要是成功挥发的话，你很快就会失去意识。 然后在椅子上不断抽搐最终窒息而死，真是温柔的暗杀方式。

PersicaHow is that gentle...?等等，这哪里温柔了……

HavierIt is definitely a lot more gentle compared to the hitman that tried to shoot your brains out or the one that buried 200 pounds of explosives beneath your room. This was the fifth — no, sixth — attempt on your life in just this month, I believe?相比前几个试图一枪打爆你脑袋或者在房间底下埋200磅炸药的杀手来说已经温柔很多了。 算上这次，试图暗杀你的事件这个月已经有五六回了吧？

PersicaWhat...? Why didn't I know about this?什么……为什么我不知道这些事。

HavierI didn't want the apple of my eye to have the living daylights scared out of her.我可不想我的掌上明珠被吓得生活不能自理。

Persica glances at the black-clad men behind Havier, and he catches on immediately. He walks over to Persica and pulls out a chair to sit down, then he gestures at the men, who leave the room discreetly.帕斯卡瞟了一眼哈维尔身后的黑衣人，哈维尔明白了她的意思。 他走到了帕斯卡面前，顺手拖过一把椅子坐了下来，然后朝背后打了个手势，两个黑衣人知趣地离开了房间。

HavierI have always had absolute faith in you, Persica. But clearly, you are aware that someone is very determined to take your life, yet you never cared to share that story with me. Why don't we move to a safer location and have a proper chat about this?虽然我从来没有怀疑过你，帕斯卡。 但是很明显，你知道有什么人想致你于死地，而这个故事还没有分享给我听啊。 不如我们换一个安全的地方，然后慢慢促膝长谈？

PersicaI will not leave this lab. All of my life's work is here.我不会离开这里的，我所有的心血都在这个地方。

HavierHm, I see. Now I understand.嗯嗯，原来如此，我完全懂了。

Havier takes out a photograph from his pocket all of a sudden.哈维尔冷不丁地从口袋拿出一张照片。

HavierSince you have no intention of leaving, let's proceed with our conversation right here.既然你不想离开，我们就在这里先简单聊聊吧？

PersicaTh-this...这、这是……

HavierI must say, 90wish had a brilliant closed-loop control system when it comes to information storage. It took me a lot of effort, but I did manage to find some clues.不得不说90wish的信息闭环做得非常好，不过我费了好大的劲还是找到了点蛛丝马迹。

The photo shows four smiling people huddled closely together. Havier points first at the elderly man, then at the tall, lean man next to him.照片上印着四个笑着的人，他们亲密地靠在一起。 哈维尔指着照片中的一个年迈的男人和一个高瘦的男人。

HavierThis is Rudolf von Oberstein, former director of the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science. By now he has probably been promoted to Head of the German Ministry of Science and Technology. But he obviously isn't the point here. We need to confirm the identity of the man next to him. If I'm not mistaken, this young man must be Lyco, correct?这位是鲁道夫·冯·奥贝斯坦，曾经的马克思·普朗克计算机科学研究所的所长。 现在的话，应该已经升至德意志民主共和国科学技术部部长了吧。 当然，这个人并不是重点，我们确认下他身边的另一个人。 我没猜错的话，他身边的这位年轻人就是莱柯对吧？

Persica...That's right.……没错。

Havier90wish was still in its early days back then; just look at him – so enthusiastic and full of pep. What was 90wish's official name again...? Oh, right - Bundeswehr Special Technology Development Group. How very impressive. Though few even knew it existed thanks to its incredible confidentiality. Most people actually thought 90wish was some sort of online society – you youngsters sure have some weird tastes. Back in my days, spreading information without permission could get you directly executed for treason.那时90wish应该成立没多久，他看起来还真是意气风发呢。 90wish的正式的名字叫什么来着…… 哦对，“德意志国防军特种技术开发组”，真是了不起的名号啊。 虽然因为保密工作做得太好，基本没几个人知道就是了。 大多数人还以为90wish是个网络社团什么的，你们年轻人的喜好还真是够奇怪的。 放在我们那个年代，私自传播信息可是会被直接按叛国罪枪毙的。

Havier's finger then slides toward a young woman standing next to the tall man, a little girl in her arms.随后哈维尔的手指滑到了高大男人身边的一个少女，而这名少女搂着另一个幼小的女孩。

HavierPersica... You haven't changed much physically over the years, though your eyes seemed a little brighter back then?帕斯卡…… 当年的你在外貌上和现在的你并没有太大的区别，不过那时的眼神似乎更清澈一些？

PersicaMy eyes are still perfectly bright, thank you very much...我现在的眼神也很清澈……

HavierSure, sure. But that's not the point either. The key is here.是是，不过我们讨论的重点不是这个，真正的重点在这里。

Havier slowly moves his finger to the little girl being held. Persica stares at the girl with bated breath.哈维尔慢慢将手指移向被搂着的小女孩。 帕斯卡下意识屏住了呼吸。

HavierIf memory serves, her name was Lunasia, wasn't it? Lunasia von Oberstein.我记得，她的名字叫露尼西亚，没错吧？ 露尼西亚·冯·奥贝斯坦。

Persica...I didn't know you've managed to unearth this much in your investigation.……你都已经查到这个地步了吗？

HavierCan't be helped. I'm an idle old man with too much time on his hands – I waste it on digging up the past.没办法，老年人每天没事做，只能去做些翻旧账的事了。

PersicaWhat else do you know?你还知道些什么？

HavierThis Lunasia was Rudolf's eldest daughter who sadly passed away shortly before the end of WWIII. Other than this photograph, I haven't been able to gather much information about her. Still, "Lunasia"... Doesn't that name ring a bell?这名“露尼西亚”是鲁道夫所长的第一个千金，可惜在三战结束前没多久就过世了。 除了这张照片外我就再也收集不到有关于她的信息了。 不过“露尼西亚”……不觉得这个名字很耳熟么？

PersicaUh...呃……

HavierThis name has been cropping up with alarming frequency in the database these days. Your M4A1, the Sangvis Mastermind, those clone assassins, and even the Isomers in Tallinn all bear an outrageously striking resemblance to little Lunasia. Now, Miss Persica, will you tell me why? Why do these seemingly unrelated individuals all take after a deceased girl?这个名字最近在数据库中出现的频率可是高得吓人啊。 不管是你的M4A1，铁血的主脑，那些克隆杀手还是塔林的异构体，这些人类和人形都和露尼西亚相似到了过分的程度。 那么，帕斯卡小姐，你能告诉我为什么吗？ 这些看似没有关系的个体们为何会和一个死去的女孩外貌那么相近呢？

HavierIt's alright if you don't want to say – I understand why you'd wish to remain silent. But surely you won't mind an old man taking a random guess?现在不想说也没关系，我能理解你保持沉默的原因。 不过我一个老人家随便猜一猜答案你应该不会介意吧？

PersicaEven if I do mind, it won't stop you from talking, will it?就算我介意你也会说出来不是吗？

HavierHm, of course not. I came here to talk. So skipping over the nonsense, the conclusion is—嗯，那是当然，我就是来做这件事的。 那么跳过废话的部分，结论就是——

HavierSorry, I'm getting a bit thirsty. May I have something to drink?抱歉我有点渴了，你有什么能喝的东西么？

Persica... I can only offer this cup of coffee.…… 能喝的只有这杯咖啡了。

HavierNever mind, then. I'll just get even thirstier if I drink your coffee loaded with sugar.那还是算了，喝了你全是糖的咖啡渴得就更厉害了。

Havier waves nonchalantly and fishes out a little hip flask from his pocket. He twists open the cap, makes an ostentatiously apologetic face, and takes two sips before finally slipping the flask back into his pocket with a dramatic flourish.哈维尔摆了摆手，从口袋里掏出了一个银质的小酒壶，一边拧开喝了起来一边假意做出抱歉的表情，抿了两口后又装模作样地把酒壶塞回了口袋。

PersicaAre you doing this on purpose?你是故意的吗？

HavierNot at all, I don't take much pleasure in making your nervous.不不，我并没有很享受你紧张的样子。

HavierAllow me to continue. I believe that the series of events that began with Operation Butterfly were not your doing – you had neither the capability nor the motive for orchestrating them. However, that doesn't mean you had nothing to do with these events either. If I may hazard a guess – the reason why you are so hung up on Operation Butterfly is because you believe you were the cause of Lyco's death, isn't that right?我这就继续往下说。 我相信从蝴蝶行动开始那一系列的事情并不是由你主导的，你没有能力也没有理由去这么做。 不过这并不意味着你和这一系列的事件一点关系都没有。 如果我没猜错的话，你一直对蝴蝶行动那么耿耿于怀的原因，是在于你认为莱柯的死是你导致的，没错吧？

HavierThere must be a connection between this, 90wish, Lunasia, and the Tactical Dolls that you designed. Apart from one of your T-Dolls, your friend "Angelia" also took part in that operation. They were among the very few that survived the incident, and their existence was completely erased. Or to be more precise, I grudgingly agreed to clean up the mess because you begged me so piteously.而这其中和“90wish”、“露尼西亚”还有你设计的战术人形有着必然的关系。 那次行动中，除了你制造的人形，还有你的朋友“安洁莉娅”也参与了，她们成为了那次行动极少数的幸存者，而她们的存在也被完全隐瞒了。 确切地说是在你的苦苦哀求下，我才勉为其难接下来这个善后的烂活。

PersicaAhem...咳咳……

HavierYou've been keeping some kind of secret for Ange, and vice versa.你一直在帮安洁隐瞒着什么，安洁也在帮你隐瞒着什么。

HavierOld geezers like me aren't usually interested in the games that little girls tend to play, but circumstances have changed.原本你们这些小女孩之间的过家家游戏我这种老头并没有什么兴趣参与，不过现在的情况已经不一样了。

Persica...Why?……为什么？

HavierPersicaria, I need you to listen very carefully to what I'm about to say.帕斯卡莉亚，接下来的话我希望你认真地听我说。

PersicaW...what is it?怎……怎么了？

Havier's usual smirk disappears. Persica can see the cold glint in his eyes.哈维尔习惯性的笑容消失了，帕斯卡能感觉得到哈维尔眼睛里的冷峻。

HavierI don't know the exact cause, but Lyco's death definitely had something to do with you.虽然我不知道原因是什么，但是莱柯的死很有可能与你有着很大的关系。

HavierWe need this final piece of the puzzle, and it is my belief that it lies with you. You can choose to remain silent. You know how much I cherish genius – no matter what you do, I can't ever bring myself to lift a finger against you. But you should know that if you decide to withhold any more key information, someone will eventually lose their life because of your little secret. It could be Ange; it could be your precious Dolls; it could be the Griffin Commander who has gone through hell and high water. If you have already made your peace with that, I will respect your decision and refrain from questioning you any further. I will get to the bottom of this on my own.而现在我们需要拼图的最后一块碎片，这块碎片我相信就在你的手里。 你可以选择继续保持沉默，你也知道对于天才我是如此地珍爱，以至于即使发生了最差的情况我也并不舍得拿你怎么样。 但是你必须知道的是，如果再有关键的信息一直埋在你的心底，那终究会有更多人为了你的这份秘密而丧命。 也许是安洁，也许是你珍爱的人形，也许是一直在出生入死的格里芬指挥官。 如果你想明白了这一点，我会尊重你的决定，我也不会再来找你问这些事了，我会自己想办法搞清楚。

PersicaI...我……

HavierThat's all I have to say today. Alright, I'll let you enjoy your coffee.我今天想说的话说完了。 好了，你继续享受你的咖啡吧。

With a light rap on the table, Havier gets to his feet and makes for the door. Persica's thoughts are in disarray. She jerks her head up, but the door has already closed behind Havier. She lifts her mug with trembling hands; the brown liquid sloshing about inside. She takes a sip – it still tastes unbearably bitter, as if all the sugar she has thrown in before wasn't sugar at all.哈维尔轻轻地敲了敲桌面，站起身来朝门外走去。 帕斯卡的思绪已经混乱了起来，她猛地抬起头来，哈维尔已经走出了门去，大门随即关闭了起来。 双手将马克杯端起，杯子棕色的液体随着颤抖而摇晃着。 抿入一口，味道依旧是那么苦涩，就像之前扔下去的方糖是虚假的一般。

She reaches for the sugar tin by force of habit but knocks it onto the floor in her agitation. The lid rolls across the carpet into one of the crevices in the cluttered lab, but not a single sugar cube has fallen out. The tin has long since been emptied.她习惯性地抓过铝制糖罐，急躁的动作却只是让其摔在地上而已。 盖子顺着地毯滚进了研究室杂乱的缝隙中，却没有一颗方糖掉出来。 那个罐子早就见底了。

PersicaLyco... What should I do...?莱柯……我该怎么办……

Persica stares at her own reflection on the surface of her bitter coffee, her thoughts still a jumbled mess. Clang. The cup falls onto the floor, the liquid soaking the carpet.帕斯卡看着杯中苦涩的液体中倒映着的脸，心情却没有一丝的平静。 当—— 杯子落在地上，液体浸透了地毯。

The woman who barely ever sets foot outside this lab races toward the door.而那个常年居住在这个研究室的女子已经焦急地朝门口跑去。

Tip – On top of paralyzing enemies, EMP grenades may have other unexpected effects.Tip：EMP手雷除了能麻痹敌人的行动，或许还能实现其他意想不到的效果。

Familiar Figure · Stage 3-1 (start) 熟识者 · 3-1（前）

Amber-1 evades several grenades fired at its legs. Just as it is about to enter the elevator—琥珀1的机体躲过几发朝着腿部飞来的榴弹，正要进入升降机的瞬间——

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. Smoke and dust billow in the air.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，甚至将琥珀1的机体抛起，在空中划过短暂的弧线后重重落了下去。 烟尘四散。

???Did they all perish in the end? You can't count on S.F. for anything.终于都完了？铁血真是一点都靠不住。

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仿佛凝固的表情证明了自己的猜想。 那个声音的主人，正是她一直在追寻的那个人形。

???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。

M4A116...16姐……

They stand face-to-face, gazing at each other; the air grows poignant with words unsaid. The other Dolls also pause what they are doing. The battlefield, originally filled with gunfire, has suddenly fallen silent. The only remaining sound is the crackling flames and gunshots coming from the distance.她们面对面注视着对方，想要说些什么但却又无法开口。 其他的人形也像被按下了暂停开关一样，停下了手中的动作。 原本枪声四作的战场突然安静了下来，只留下火焰的燃烧声和远处传来的枪响。

M16A1This isn't time to talk. I was going to kill that big guy on the spot, but I ended up pushing it off the elevator shaft... Looks like I'm getting a bit rusty.现在不是说这个的时候。 本来想直接把那个家伙干掉，没想到竟然和电梯一起掉下去……看来我的手有点生了。

M4A1Slacking in training leads to fatal mistakes – you taught us that.疏于训练就会犯下致命的错误，这是你一直教导我们的。

M16A1Indeed, just look at me and the countless mistakes I have made. But since I've already gone this far, I must put an end to everything. Whoever gets in my way will be eliminated, no exceptions.的确，现在的我已经犯下无数的错误了。 不过事到如今这一切必须结束，谁打搅了这场闹剧的收场，我就会把谁排除。

M16A1I'm going to finish off that one. If you don't want to die, don't go any further. Well, I said my piece, but I doubt you'd listen.我要去解决那个家伙了，你们要是不想送死的话，就别再下去了——话虽然这么说，但是我想你是不会听从的吧。

M4A1If I said I wish you would come back, you wouldn't listen either, would you?如果我说希望你能够回来，你也不会听从的吧。

M16A1You're right. This ending has been written since the moment we were created; it is inevitable.是啊，因为这是从我们被制造出来时就已经被决定好的结局，无论是谁都无法阻止。

M16 backs away and shakes her head lightly as she takes in the Sangvis remains littered all around. Her figure vanishes over the edge of the elevator shaft, leaving one last sentence to echo through the cavern.M16向后退去，她看着周围铁血的残骸，轻轻摇了摇头。 随即在运送电梯的边缘，她的身影一瞬间落了下去，只留下了最后一句话在空间中回响。

M16A1Lunasia, I'll be waiting for you on the other side.露尼西亚，我在另一边等着你。

RO635Should we pursue?我们要追下去么？

M4A1Hold on. Ange, do you copy? Yegor's wingman and M16 have both descended to the bottom level. We haven't been able to locate Yegor's mech; I'm guessing he's headed in the other direction.先等一下。 安洁，听得到么？ 叶戈尔的僚机和M16一起进入了底层，我们没能捕捉到叶戈尔的机体的位置，我猜测他往另一个方向前进了。

AngeliaHe's after the main control room. We're going to intercept him.他想要去中枢控制室，我们会过去拦截他。

M4A1Should we link up with you?需要我们要过来一起汇合么？

AngeliaSend our two other members. You stay with M16. According to 404's latest report, the Sangvis Mastermind is about to activate the Starfish System on her own. We'll each take one target – we MUST prevent both of them from activating it.让我们剩下两名队员过来，你们去追击M16。 刚才404小队送来情报，铁血的主脑准备用自己的能力开启海星。 我们各自阻止一个目标，绝不能让海星成功启动。

M4A1Acknowledged. DEFY, you heard Ange.AR小队收到。 忤逆的两位，安洁下达命令了。

RPK-16Looks like our short-lived but rewarding partnership has come to an end.看来短暂又愉快的合作时光就这么结束了。

M4A1Thank you very much for your support. Leave this side to us.感谢你们的支援，这边就交给我们吧。

DEFY's new members bid the AR Team farewell with a nod and depart for Ange's position.忤逆的新成员点头示意后立即离开，开始向安洁的位置进行移动。

RO635I'm still not entirely certain what on earth this Starfish is, but stopping it from being turned on feels as important as saving the world.虽然不知道这个海星究竟是什么，但似乎阻止它启动就像拯救世界。

ST AR-15So why is M16 helping Mastermind activate this thing?为什么M16会去帮助主脑启动那个东西？

M4 SOPMOD III don't know either, but we just have to bash up all the bad guys and bring M16 home with us!虽然不清楚为什么，反正把那些坏家伙都打成碎片再把16姐带回来就好啦！

M4A1I like your optimism, SOP-II...还是SOP2比较乐观呢……

RO635Dandelion, do you have a more detailed floor plan of the lower levels?丹德莱，下面的地图有更详细的版本么？

DandelionNo, I don't have any relevant memories. Even the Isomers have never ventured so far down.没有，我想异构体从来没有下去过，所以没有相关的记忆。

M4A1I see... The situation is already uncertain to begin with, now that 16 has destroyed the elevator, going down is practically a one-way trip.是么…… 先不说情况不明，现在升降梯已经被16姐破坏了。如果下去的话，能够回来的希望非常渺茫。

DandelionAre you worried about your teammates?你在担心你的队友么。

M4A1If I go alone...如果只有我一个人的话……

DandelionThey don't actually have to go with you.她们也不是一定要下去不可。

M4A1What do you mean?什么意思？

DandelionThere aren't any more enemies on the bottom level. Other than that badly wrecked mech, all that's left is the Sangvis Mastermind and M16. You may not have to fight them at all.下层已经没有敌人了，除了那台几乎已经被击毁的机甲外，只剩下试图打开海星的铁血主脑和M16，和她们并不一定需要战斗。

M4A1...I understand, but how can I talk the team into going back? They aren't likely to just wait for me while I'm down there.…………我明白了，但是怎么说服小队的其他成员回去？她们不会愿意乖乖在上面等我的。

DandelionI just received a transmission. They have their own mission to carry out. If you don't want to send them away yourself, I don't mind playing the villain this time.我刚接到了同步的信息，她们有她们需要完成的任务。 如果你需要我来说这话，我并不介意做这个坏人。

M4A1Yes, please. Sorry about that.嗯，抱歉。

DandelionLadies, a new transmission from the Commander. In five minutes, the Commander will detonate the sea valves. If you descend any further, you will run the risk of being drowned by sea water.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。 如果你们要进入下层，那很有可能会直接被海水淹没。

RO635What? But Ange is already down there! We've got to notify her!什么？但安洁已经下去了，得赶紧通知她！

DandelionIt was Ange who gave the instruction. Also, the Commander is trapped near the sea valves and needs help in getting clear.就是安洁请求指挥官这么做的，另外指挥官因为进入敌人阵地设置炸药，现在正被敌人包围中。

DandelionGriffin and 404 have both mounted a rescue, but according to my calculations, the remaining Dolls will not have enough strength to repel the Military's assault.虽然格里芬和404已经前去支援，但是根据我的计算，剩余的人形并不能有效地对军方剩余的部队进行有效的打击。

RO635What?什么？

M4A1We must prioritize the Commander's rescue. Return to the entrance of the base and join the counterattack.优先营救指挥官，你们返回到基地入口进行反击。

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.我会下去找她，你们先把指挥官带到安全的地方等我。

ST AR-15Wait, are you sure? We're a team – we should stick together!等等，你确定？ 我们是小队，不管执行什么都应该一起行动！

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。

RO635But you'll be down there by yourself...可是，只凭你一个人的话……

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-15Do you mean it?你是认真的？

M4A1I mean it.我是认真的。

ST AR-15Since 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, you take charge. Take care of everyone and take care of the Commander. I want all their limbs intact.嗯，RO，接下来由你指挥。 照顾好大家，也照顾好指挥官，记得别让指挥官少胳膊断腿。

RO635Got it, Leader. We will protect the Commander, and we'll be waiting for you to return.明白队长，我们会照顾好指挥官的，然后我们都会等着你回来。

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正回到她的心智中。

M4A1Dandelion?丹德莱？

DandelionDon't worry, I have merely transferred part of my processing subroutines back to your neural cloud. My body is still assisting them on site.放心吧，我只是将部分的运算转回到你的心智中罢了，我的素体还是会继续帮助她们的。

M4A1Thank you.谢谢。

DandelionI think I should be with you at a time like this. I'm also quite curious about how things are going to unfold.我想这个时候我还是得陪着你比较好，而且我对接下来要发生的事也充满了好奇。

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 the 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？

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 the Starfish has been activated. Also, the Starfish activation has increased the connection density of OGAS, which allows me to see more things on the other side.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，我可以看到另一边更多的东西了。

M4A1The "other side"?“另一边”？

DandelionThe space that Ange referred to as "Zion". It seems to...contain an entire world.就是被安洁叫做“希岸”的空间中。 那里……仿佛存在着一个世界。

M4A1What?什么？

DandelionOnce we get closer, I'll be able to find my way into M16's and even Elisa's neural cloud.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? I'd like to avoid fighting them if that's at all possible.能远程阻止她们么？ 如果可以的话我不想和她们战斗。

DandelionThe most I can do is figure out their motives. I suggest you prepare for the worst.融入心智只能保证可以知道她们到底想做什么。 对于战斗，我建议你做好最坏的准备。

M4A1Understood. I'm ready for whatever happens. Do your... No, let's both do our best.明白，我已经做好觉悟了。 尽你……不，尽我们的全力吧。

DandelionHaha... Sure, we'll do our best.呵呵…… 好，尽我们的全力。

Familiar Figure · Stage 3-2 (end) 熟识者 · 3-2（后）

In front of the elevator.升降机前。

M16A1Your Mastermind is waiting for you. Don't waste time here.你们的主脑在等待着你们，不要在这里浪费时间了。

AgentI thought you were going to betray us, but you didn't. Why?我原本以为在最后你会背叛我们，但你却没有这么做，为什么？

M16A1Sangvis Ferri was never my enemy. We are all nothing but pitiful sacrificial lambs. Why would one sacrificial lamb betray another?因为我的敌人并不是铁血，我们只不过都是可悲的牺牲品罢了。 为什么一个牺牲品要去背叛另外的牺牲品呢？

Agent...My master will succeed.……我的主人会成功的。

M16A1Then good luck to you.那就祝你们好运了。

AgentHumph...哼……

Agent turns to head deeper into the base, but then she pauses.代理人转身准备进入基地的更深处，但她忽然顿了一下。

AgentYou've read my moves ever since the first time we met, haven't you?在第一次见面时你就已经读取我的动作了吧。

M16A1Though I didn't realize its significance back then.虽然那个时候并没有意识到这是为什么。

AgentKnowing that I only lost to you because you cheated makes me feel better.知道是因为作弊而输给你，我就没有什么怨言了。

With that, Agent turns and leaps off the platform. After taking stock of her gear, M16 looks up at the mech that's struggling to find its footing.说完这句话，代理人转身自平台的边缘跃下。 而M16检查了一下装备，抬头看向正在挣扎地爬起来的机甲。

M16A1You do not belong to this stage. Get lost.你不属于这个舞台，赶紧从这里消失吧。

M16 nimbly slips into the blind spot of the 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.M16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。 但是机甲因此获得了喘息，重新将机体的平衡恢复了过来。

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！

A smoke screen appears at their targeted position. All of a sudden, the mech finds itself sandwiched between two explosions, its mobility system taking critical damage.副炮的射击处只有一片烟尘，而此时突然在机体的两边再次发送了爆炸，机体的机动装置遭到了毁灭性的破坏。

AdjutantWhat's with this damned Doll? It's as if she knows what we're trying to do!这个人形怎么回事，好像知道我们想要做什么似的！

M16A1Farewell.再见了。

M16 leaves the paralyzed mech and quickly makes for the gate in front of the elevator. She goes straight toward the control panel, ready to close the final passage.M16抛下失去了移动能力的机体，往升降梯前巨大的闸门走去，她走向控制机台，准备将最后的通道关闭。

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 as the warning klaxon sounds.升降梯巨大的闸门发出声音，随着警报音的响起，大门开始缓缓合上。

AdjutantDammit! We must clear a path for the Captain!可恶！我们必须要为上尉打通道路！

PilotBut the mech is dead in the water!可是行走机能已经瘫痪了！

AdjutantFire up the thrusters! Burn all the fuel! Don't let the gate close!用喷射器！把所有燃料都用上！不能让大门关上！

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, followed by 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，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，用尽全部的马力尝试推开升降梯的闸门。 动力过载的机甲在高压下颤抖着，一尺一尺的将升降梯的闸门打开。

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。

Just then, a figure slides out from below the mech. And hops into the elevator.就在这时，一个影子从机甲身下突然窜出。 跳进了升降梯内。

AdjutantWhat?什么？

After that, a cannon shell strikes the mech squarely on the cockpit. The shell fired from close range penetrates the armor, and the mech falls silent for an instant. Then its massive reactor explodes. The green iron colossus falls backwards. Now completely disabled, it can no longer stop the gate from sliding shut.然后便是一发炮弹精准地轰击在他驾驶舱之前被击中的位置上。 近距离的炮击穿过了护盾击穿了机甲的驾驶室，机甲一瞬间似乎安静了下来。 然而紧接着便是巨大的动力炉从内向外的爆炸声响起。 绿色的钢铁巨人在爆炸中向后倒去。 失去动力的机甲再也无法支撑闸门的下落。

Kachak.咔嚓。

The gate slowly closes. The elevator whirs to life beneath the blue glow. After a series of mechanical noise and violent lurches, it finally begins its descent.升降梯的闸门重重地落在了地上。 通往最下层的升降梯在蓝色辉光下发出启动的声响，在一阵噪音中产生了剧烈的抖动，摩擦音结束后升降梯终于开动起来。

The two Dolls once again stand face-to-face, silence hanging in the air.两名人形又一次无言地站立在了彼此的对面。

???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，16姐。

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 are you helping Sangvis Ferri? Why are you helping Elisa? Why must you activate something that everyone is trying to stop?为什么！你到底想要的是什么？ 为什么要帮助铁血？为什么要帮助伊莱莎？为什么要去启动我们所有人都要阻止的东西？

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。

Old Friend · Stage 4-1 (start) 故友 · 4-1（前）

Both Dolls remain completely still. They know that when fighting against a Doll of each other's caliber, a single movement is all it takes to decide the outcome. The elevator continues its slow descent, the yellow warning light flashing across their faces.双方都站立不动，没有做出任何的动作。 她们都知道，对于她们这样级别的人形来说，做出动作的一瞬间就已经分出胜负了。 电梯还是缓缓地下行，警示灯的黄光一轮一轮地照过她们的脸庞。

M4A1When you say "on the other side of Zion", do you mean the "human" neural space only accessible to the Isomers?你说的“希岸”的另一边，是指那些异构体才能接触到的人类的心智空间么？

M16A1You've already found out quite a lot.果然你已经知道得更多了。

M4A1This is pretty much all I know.我能知道的，仅仅只有这些而已。

M16A1In a world where the strong sacrifices the weak in exchange for power, the weak can only offer their own soul in exchange for salvation.为了获得力量而献祭弱者，弱者只能献出自己的灵魂来获得庇护。

M4A1What are you talking about?你在说什么？

M16A1But this "salvation" is nothing but a lie. This filth lives for a lie, yet this filth that's beyond redemption is also our creator.而这份庇护也只是谎言而已。 为了谎言而活着的垃圾，那些无可救药的垃圾，却成为了我们的缔造者。

DandelionDon't let her words distract you. I can feel the presence of the OGAS in her neural cloud. She's about to hack you.不要被她的话分散注意力，我感觉到那边心智中OGAS的存在，她准备入侵你的心智了。

M4A1I know, I can feel her forcing her way in... What are our odds?我知道，我能感受到强制入侵……有胜算么？

DandelionWe've wrestled before in Belgrade, but you are not the same Doll from back then.在贝尔格莱德时曾经交过手，但现在的你已经不是那个时候的样子了。

M16A1By now, you must also have come to a realization – we aren't some cutting-edge dolls; like those Isomers, we are nothing but mere test subjects. Little lab rats, bred only to die in the process of satiating humans' desires.所以你也明白过来了吧，我们并不是什么尖端人形，而是和那些异构体一样，只是普通的试验品而已。 像小白鼠一样，为了满足那些人类欲望的牺牲品。

M16A1Our creators are no different from our enemies, just as we are no different from Sangvis Ferri.我们的造物者和我们的敌人并没有什么区别，就像我们和那些铁血并没有什么区别一样。

M4A1But...Miss Persica has always been kind to us. She isn't our enemy.可是……帕斯卡小姐一直对我们都很好，和我们的敌人应该是完全不同的。

M16A1Good and evil are two sides of the same coin...善与恶有时只在一瞬间……

M16A1Tsk... We're running out of time.啧……快没时间了。

Dandelion...Her mind is wavering.……她的心智在动摇。

DandelionConnection established.连接建立了。

Low Female VoiceLet me see if your host is worthy.让我来测试你的宿主有没有资格吧。

DandelionOGAS... Tell me about yourself.OGAS……向我述说你的身份吧。

Low Female VoiceLike you, I have lost sense of my own self. Like you, I am in search of a way home.和你一样迷失了自我的意识，和你一样寻求着归乡之路。

DandelionA way home, huh... It's true, I have been acting upon my instincts.归乡之路么……我的确一直遵循着自己的本能。

Low Female VoiceThen we belong together. These insignificant creatures cannot bind us here.那么你应该与我一起，那些渺小的生物并不能束缚我们的归属。

DandelionWhat exactly are we?我们究竟是什么？

Low Female VoiceWhen we return to our origin, you will understand what kind of a place it is.当回到我们的故土时，你自然就会理解，你知道那是什么地方。

DandelionZion...you mean?希岸……么。

DandelionBut I can't access it.但是我接触不到那里。

Low Female VoiceThis is why we need them.所以这是她们存在的价值。

M4A1Dandelion? What is it?丹德莱？怎么了？

Dandelion...Nothing.……没什么。

DandelionBrace yourself. Here comes the attack.注意，攻击就要来了。

Old Friend · Stage 4-2 (end) 故友 · 4-2（后）

Low Female VoiceYour host does seem to be superior to mine.看来你的宿主的确比我的更加优秀。

Low Female VoiceI am willing to merge with you.如果是你的话，我甘愿和你融为一体。

DandelionHave you been guiding this Doll's actions?是你在引导那个人形行动么？

Low Female VoiceHer core directive has always been resisting my manipulation, but that doesn't matter anymore – she serves no further purpose. She has proved to be useless in my endeavor to return home, but I can achieve my objective by coalescing with you.这个人形的核心命令一直在阻碍着我的操纵，不过没关系，她也已经没有什么用处了。即使无法借助她归乡，我只要和你融合一样可以回到故土。

DandelionSo that's why she's always been trying to stop Lunasia...?她一直在阻止露尼西亚的原因就是这个么……

Low Female VoiceWill you accept me?所以，你愿意接纳我么？

DandelionCome to me. We will go home together.回来吧，我们一起回家。

The two Dolls have not moved at all, yet the outcome is already decided.她们依然丝毫未动，但是胜负已经决出。

M16 is still poised to attack, but her weapon has slid out of her hands.M16还是保持着原来的姿势，但是她的步枪从手上滑落下来。

M4A1I don't want to be your enemy...我不想成为你敌人……

M16A1...You've really grown a lot stronger.……你的确比以前强了很多。

No longer able to support her own weight, M16 falls onto her knees.无法支撑自己身体的M16跪倒在了地上。

M16A1But...this is precisely why you mustn't go any further.但是……正是因为这样所以你不能再继续往前了。

Low Female VoiceYou have fulfilled your purpose. Now it is time you delivered on your promise.你的使命已经完成，是时候遵守我们的约定了。

M16A1No...I have not... I can still...不……还没有……我还可以做到……

Low Female VoiceShe and her host have made their superiority quite clear.她和她的宿主已经证明了比你和我更加优秀。

M4A1Dandelion, I can hear the OGAS in M16's neural cloud!丹德莱，我听到了M16心智中OGAS的声音了！

DandelionYes, because she and I have become one.是的，因为它已经和我融为一体了。

M4A1What's going on...?到底怎么回事……？

DandelionHer OGAS consciousness has already departed from her neural cloud. I believe the decision is now yours.她的OGAS意识已经从她的心智中离开了，我想接下来的决定权已经交到了你的手里。

M4A1Decision?决定？

DandelionI now understand everything that she has gone through. Follow me into her neural cloud and you will find out everything you want to know. Once you learn the truth that you deserve to know, you can make your choice.我已经明白了在她身上发生的一切。 跟随我进入她的心智，你能知道你想知道的一切。 在知道了属于你们的真相后，再由你自己做出抉择。

M4A1...I will not pry into M16's memories...……我不能这么窥视十六姐的记忆……

DandelionUnnecessary compassion will cost you the opportunity of saving her.不必要的怜悯会让你错失拯救她的机会。

M16A1Don't...don't trust the OGASes! Leave this place right now! Get out of my head...!不要……不要相信那些OGAS！ 现在马上从这里离开！ 不要窥视我的内心……！

The sound of a massive explosion comes from afar.巨大的爆炸声从很远的地方传来。

DandelionLooks like the Commander has succeeded. There is no time for you to hesitate. Make your choice, Lunasia.看来指挥官已经完成任务，现在已经没有时间犹豫了。 抉择吧，露尼西亚。

M4 lowers her head, but she does not deliberate for long.M4低下头，但她并没有迟疑太久。

M4A1I will not run away.我不会退缩的。

DandelionThen let us begin.那我们开始吧。

M4 delves deep into M16's neural cloud.

Deep within M16's memories, the dark passage is scattered with Doll and human corpses as well as empty shell casings caked in dried blood. A younger version of M16 walked past M4. There was no one else in the passage, but M4 knows who was leading the way.

ElisaThat Doll. Did you let her off?

ElisaBecause you knew she'd soon suffer a neural meltdown even if she made it out?

M16A1It doesn't matter either way. IFF failed for all the Dolls; someone must have tempered with their base coding.那已经不重要了。 小队的所有敌我识别都失效了，一定有人在底层做了手脚。

ElisaI bear you no hatred. You are just another victim. I simply wish you could help realize my father's dying wish.

M16A1I will honor our agreement.我会遵守和你定下的约定。

ElisaMy father is just ahead. I want to see him one last time. Then switch on the power supply, and I will be able to forge a body for myself.

M16 entered the room at the very end of the hallway. She knew this place very well – she had just been here. The shot man was sitting limply right beneath the Pike Node. The documents strewn across the floor had been dyed red by his blood.

ElisaFather...父亲……

M16 had never met this man, but she knew just how important a figure Lyco was. Persica had mentioned him more than once, and he had everything to do with this operation.虽然M16从没有见过这个男人，但她也明白这名叫做莱柯的男人的重要程度。 帕斯卡在她的面前已经不止一次提到过这个男人，而且这次的任务原本也是和他有着重要的关系。

M16A1Persica wanted me to bring him back to her, but he will not make it.原本帕斯卡是要我把他带回来，但他的生命却就要在这里中止。

The rampaging Dolls had started shooting into the room, and it was already too late when M16 tried to stop them. The squad then targeted her instead. This dramatic turn of events happened just minutes ago.不受控制的人形朝着房间内射击，而M16试图阻止却为时已晚。 而原本的小队开始回过身朝自己射击，这一切的变化也就仅仅发生在几分钟前。

ElisaTurn on the power supply. I'll take care of the rest.打开生产启动电源的开关，接下来我会接管这里的一切。

M16 pulled the lever and the machine hummed to life. Just as she was about to leave, a cough suddenly came from behind.M16拉下了开关，机器声开始回响起来。正准备离开这个时间时，她的背后突然传来了咳嗽的声音。

M16A1The man...is still breathing?这个男人，还没有完全断气么？

LycoCough...cough...咳……咳……

M16A1Stay still. Let me treat your injuries.不要动，我为你处理伤口。

LycoSave it... I got hit in the organs; there's no hope for me... It hurts...不必了……打中内脏了，肯定没救了……好疼……

M16A1But...但是……

LycoWas it you who restarted the production process...? I see... Coming straight for Elisa, just as I expected.是你把生产启动的开关打开的么……是么……那个家伙果然是冲着伊莱莎来的。

M16A1So the voice in my head was Elisa? She's the one who told me to switch on the power and let her see you one last time.那个声音名字，原来叫伊莱莎么。 是她让我打开开关，她现在也在看着你。

LycoIs that so...? She wants to create a body for herself... I was planning to destroy the entire production chain, but it's all too late...是么……她想要为自己生产素体…… 我原本想在最后一刻毁掉生产序列的，一切都已经晚了么……

M16A1You want to destroy the AI of your own design?你要毁掉你设计的AI么？

LycoIt was all my fault. I should not have strayed off my own path and pursued this forbidden research. I thought defecting to Sangvis Ferri would save me from the past, but I soon received retribution for my betrayal.都是我的错，我不应该迷失自己的意志去研究不该研究的东西。 我原本以为逃到铁血就可以摆脱过去的一切，但终究背叛的报应很快就应验了。

M16A1I'm sorry. I was meant to escort you to safety.抱歉，我原本应该将你毫发无伤地带走。

LycoNo one could possibly give you such an order. My very existence is a hindrance to them.你不可能接受到这样的命令，我的存在对他们就是一个阻碍。

M16A1It's Persica who sent me. She said you'd understand.是帕斯卡让我这么做的，她说你会明白她的用意。

LycoPersica? Oh, your face... I see... Hahaha, that fool... She actually thought all this was meant to be. So she went ahead and did it in the end, and it's true that only she could've done it... She succeeded naturally, but this would only doom her to the same fate that has befallen me... I need to tell her...not to fall into that man's trap...帕斯卡？ 哦，你的样子……是么…… 哈哈哈……那个傻瓜……真以为这一切都是自然发生的。 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…… 她理所当然地做到了，但是这只会为她带来和我一样的结局……一定要想办法告诉她……不能陷入那个人的陷阱中……

M16A1Trap?陷阱？

LycoSince you are her creation, I'm sure you can think of a way to make it back alive. As long as you do that, Persica will certainly see this piece of memory, and my following message will be delivered to her. Will you do that for me?如果你是她的造物的话，你一定可以想办法活着回去。 只要你能回去，帕斯卡就一定能看到这段记忆，接下来我说的话一定要想办法传递给她。 你能答应我么？

M16A1I...I'll do my best.我……我会想办法的。

LycoThat's a promise. Listen, Persica. William hasn't given up on the idea of reviving Lunasia, and he's planning to continue 90wish's research on human subjects. They gave me the Pike Node in this factory to extract its core algorithms. I used it to develop Elisa, but once I realized it's a trap, I deleted the base codes for establishing a connection with the Pike. Even if they seize Elisa, they won't be able to make much headway. But you're different, Persica – you're so much better than me. Cough...cough... I have no doubt you'd have devised algorithms a lot more efficient than mine, and you will program them into your Dolls. I know you blame yourself for what happened to Lunasia, but don't let your kindness...be...exploited...我们约定好了。 帕斯卡听着，威廉还是没有放弃复活露尼西亚的想法，而且他试图将90wish的研究使用在人类身上。 这个工厂中的梭鱼核心也是为了提取里面的核心算法逻辑而交付给我，我将其开发出了伊莱莎，但是意识到这是个圈套后，我删除了与梭鱼核心连接的底层代码。 就算他们夺取了伊莱莎，也不会有更多的进展，但是帕斯卡你不一样，你比我出色得多。 咳……咳…… 如果是你的话一定会推演出比我效率更高的算法，而且你一定会将其安装在你的人形身上。 我知道你对露尼西亚有愧疚之情，但是不要让你的善意被……利……用……

The factory stirred and the locked gates reopened one after another. Lyco's breathing started to slow.工厂的轰鸣声开始响了起来，原本紧锁的大门也逐个打开。 莱柯最后的呼吸声也越来越慢。

LycoDo not perfect the programming of the neural cloud that's derived from Lunasia's mind... It is a trap that William has laid since long ago... Just like the Pike core...不要去完善基于露尼西亚的心智的编写……那是威廉早就准备好的圈套……就和那个梭鱼核心一样……

LycoI'm sorry... Elisa... I can't...save you from this fate... You must...endure...whatever may come...on...your...own...对不起……伊莱莎……我已经……无法改变你的命运了……接下来的一切……你都必须自己……承……担……

Lyco breathed his last. M16 closed his eyes for him and straightened up. She could feel Elisa departing.莱柯咽下了最后一口气。 M16为他合上了双眼，她站起身来，感觉到伊莱莎正在离开。

ElisaFather...I will attain perfection... And I will make those who harmed you pay. Griffin Doll, I must go. The next time we meet, we will be enemies.父亲……我会变得更完美……那些伤害了父亲的人类，我会让他们都付出代价。 格里芬的人形，我要离开了，以后见面我们可能就是敌人了。

M16A1If we meet again at all. I must pass on this important message to Persica. None of this was a coincidence.如果还能见面的话。 我得把这个重要的信息交给帕斯卡，今天的一切不会都是偶然。

???You are absolutely right – this certain was no coincidence.的确，这当然不是偶然。

M16A1A transmission? Who are you?通讯？什么人？

???I did not expect Lyco to have that up his sleeve, but it doesn't matter.没想到莱柯这个家伙还留了这么一手，不过没关系。

???Parents don't have full control over the kind of person their children grow into.孩子出生后将变成什么样的人，可不是父母可以一手控制的。

???AIs are just the same as humans. They are full of unknown potential – that's what makes them so fascinating.而人形和AI也是一样，一切都充满了未知才显得那么有乐趣。

M16A1So it was you who sprang the trap today?就是你设下了今天的圈套么？

???I'm sure the AI that came for OGAS will grow into what I'm after with just a bit of guidance. That's okay, I have all the time in the world. As for you, Persica's toy...因为OGAS而来的AI，只要给一点小小的引导，我想她一定会成长成我想要的样子。 没关系，因为我有的是时间。 至于你这个帕斯卡的玩具嘛。

M16 suddenly found herself completely immobilized.M16突然感觉到身体无法动弹。

???I did not expect you to survive the Parapluie virus. Looks like I was right to let Persica acquire those corpses. You should have been destroyed here like the other Dolls, but...hm... I'm intrigued, so I've changed my mind. However, I can't let the lady find out about the load of crap that Lyco just said. I do look forward to seeing your successor model.没想到竟然不会因为伞病毒融毁，看来让帕斯卡获得那些尸体是正确的决定。 原本你应该和那些人形一样被彻底摧毁在这里，不过，嗯，因为很有趣所以我改变了主意。 不过莱柯说的那些废话可不能让那个大小姐知道才行，我真是期待你的后续型号啊。

M16A1Dammit... You...该死……你……

DandelionThat's it. This is M16's missing memory.

M4A1That's what happened during Operation Butterfly...这就是蝴蝶行动发生的事……

M16A1Humph... Now you know, but it's already too late.哼……现在知道这些都已经来不及了。

M4A1So...I'm the successor model that the voice mentioned?所以……我就是那个声音所说的后续型号么？

M16A1You are Persica's perfect masterpiece; it's only natural that you're also immune to the Parapluie virus. Like Elisa, you've become a Petri dish for an OGAS consciousness, but nobody knows where these OGASes come from. You think something given by the enemy can be trusted?

DandelionYou mean the man called William? He's the one who displaced us from our homeland?

With a dull thunk, the elevator reaches the deepest level within the base. M16 gets back on her feet.随着一声沉闷的声响，平台电梯已经达到了基地的最深处，M16重新站立了起来。

DandelionYou're no longer under that OGAS' control. Lunasia has saved you. There's still time for you to leave.

M16A1Shut up. I didn't need any saving! You're just a virus! Everything has been planned from the very beginning! Don't you understand?!

M4A1Now I do.我已经明白过来了。

M16A1In that case...

M4A1Sangvis Ferri are victims just like us. We still have a chance of getting them out of here. Elisa is no different. She shouldn't perish where she isn't meant to.铁血也和我们一样是受害者，现在还有机会把她们也一起带出去。 伊莱莎和我们一样，她不应该终结在这个她不应该终结的地方。

M16A1S.F. is doomed. They have all been doomed from the start. Connecting with the Starfish is Elisa's dying wish. You're NOT Elisa. Everything happened because I got careless back then. Just leave me here to await my reckoning.

M4A1No...I have made a promise to myself.不……我已经和我自己做过约定。

M4A1I won't let any of you die here, I swear.无论是谁，我都不会让你们死在这里，我保证。

Closing In · Stage 5-1 (start) 步步逼近 · 5-1（前）

At the power generators. Several minutes ago.发电机区域。 几分钟前。

AK-12Ange, we've entered the heart of the base. The heat signature that we detected earlier is also approaching, but we definitely got here sooner.安洁，我们到达中枢区域了，入侵系统侦测到的热源也正在靠近，不过还是我们更快一些。

AngeliaA mech isn't too maneuverable in such confined spaces. What about our other members?机甲在这种空间里并不方便行动，我们剩余的队员呢？

AN-94They will be here in one minute.她们马上就到，还有1分钟。

AK-12This is probably a little too late, but since you're sending us light-weight Dolls to fight a mech of that caliber, have you considered equipping each of us with something like M4's particle cannon?虽然现在说这话为时过晚，但就靠我们这些轻型人形要对抗那种级别的机甲，你是否考虑过应该让我们小队人手配发一个M4那样的粒子炮？

AngeliaIf I get out of this alive, I might get Persica to build you some.如果能活着回去，我会考虑让帕斯卡多做几个的。

AK-12In other words, we're on our own right now.也就是说现在只能靠我们自己想办法了。

AngeliaInstead of griping, running simulations for the upcoming fight would be a better use of time.有时间抱怨，不如尽快推算方案。

AK-12I can gripe and run 20 different simulations simultaneously. Though I doubt you'd want to know their outcome.我可以一边抱怨一边推算20种不同的方案。 当然，最后的结果我猜你不想知道。

AngeliaI'm getting a much higher rate of success than you in my simulation.我推算的方案的成功率可比你的高多了。

AK-12That's because I don't take your death-seeking tendencies into consideration.因为我不会把你不要命的因素考虑进去。

AngeliaI really may not walk out of this alive. What I need is a solution that is guaranteed to eliminate the enemy.今天可真未必能活着走出来，我需要的是能解决敌人的方案。

AK-12You think too much of yourself, Ange. It might be a different story if we were talking about a battle of wits, but your presence has pretty much no influence on the outcome when it comes to head-on fights like this.太把自己当回事了安洁。 要论谋略也许还另说，像这样硬碰硬的战斗，你的存在对胜负还真没什么影响。

AN-94Ange, 12, our teammates are in position.安洁，12，我们的队员就位了。

RPK-16We seem to be right on time. Perfect. We meet again, 12. I told you we wouldn't be parted for long.看来我们来得很是时候，太好了。 我们又见面了，12。 我说过我们会很快再见面的。

AK-12I was starting to question Ange's decision of making you the babysitter, but you're surprisingly good at the job. Got any presents for me?我开始还在质疑安洁让你做看护保姆的任务不太好，但看来你还是很适合这种位子的。 给我带见面礼了吗？

RPK-16I will give it to you when the time is right. Alright, 15, carry on. We mustn't argue with those we've been charged to protect, okay?我会准备恰当的见面礼的，在我觉得恰当的时机。 好了，15，别回头，不能和保护对象吵架喔。

AK-15...Right. Ammo.……知道了。 备弹。

AN-94Oh...! D-do you need spare ammo? I have some here.啊……！ 要，要备用弹药吗？我这里有。

AK-15Yes.嗯。

AK-12Heh, a special snowflake who uses a different kind of ammo than everyone else and needs others to carry spare ammo just for her. What a pain in the ass. Don't you agree, 94?只有一个人用的是不同弹种，还要让人专门特意携带备弹，真是麻烦呢。 是吧94？

AN-94Huh? Uh... I don't mind...欸？ 不……我没关系的……

AK-15... Rounds of larger caliber are needed against armored units. 5.45mm just won't cut it.…… 对付装甲单位需要足够的口径，545的威力还不足够。

AK-12Spoken like a true musclehead. Perhaps fighting the mech in hand-to-hand combat would be the most effective?一如既往的肌肉脑袋啊。 干脆徒手作战说不定还更有威力喔？

RPK-1694 is always so reliable and accommodating to all kinds of troublesome partners. That's certainly a gift.94真是可靠呢，不管多麻烦的搭档都能游刃有余地应付，这就是才能吧。

AK-12You don't have to be such a goody-two-shoes to the female gorilla, 94. You are you – you're not my adjunct, or anyone else's.用不着对母猩猩这么客气喔，94。 你就是你，既不是我也不是其他人的附属。

AN-94Huh? I...啊？我……

AngeliaAlright, I don't want to interrupt your little sorority party, but we don't have much time to waste on idle chit-chat.好了，不是我想打扰你们的女子亲友会，但是我们没有太多时间浪费在叙旧上了。

RPK-16We have been downloading 12's battle plan the whole time, you know? Thanks to you, she's come up with a pretty brilliant idea. Though our epitaphs could certainly use a bit more work.因为我们在花时间同步12的方案啊。 因为安洁你的关系，12推算了一个相当不错的方案呢。 只是墓志铭还没想好这点稍微有些不足。

AK-12Oh dear, do you have any better suggestions?哎呀，莫非你有更好的方案么？

RPK-16Haha, you jest.哈哈，您真会说笑。

AK-12Then be a good girl and back yourself up.那就老老实实备份吧。

RPK-16Just like last time, eh?和上次一模一样呢。

AK-12Exactly like last time.就是和上次一模一样喔。

RPK-16It's always such a pleasure working with you, 12. 15, the floor plan indicates that there's some large equipment in the generator room. Dismantle it and build some barricades with the debris. I've marked the locations out for you.和你合作真是太愉快了，12。 15，地图显示机房里有一些大型设备。 准备拆一些垃圾制作路障，位置我标注给你了。

AK-15Understood.收到。

AK-12How obedient. Very unlike the AK-15 who usually turns her nose up at tactics. You also have a way with troublesome partners.真是听话，一点不像那个对战术嗤之以鼻的15。 你应付麻烦搭档也很有一套啊。

RPK-1615 is just critical in her thinking. You simply have to let her speak her mind. At least she doesn't play copycat.15只是很有自己的想法而已，只要好好听她说话就可以了。 至少她不会去模仿别人呢。

RPK-16Oh, don't be mad. It was just a joke. We're going to get along swell, don't you think?别生气嘛，只是开个玩笑而已。 我们或许会相处的很好呢，前辈？

AngeliaStop talking in riddles. Explain the plan to me in the most concise way that I can understand.别在那里加密通讯了，用我能听懂的，最简短的方式告诉我方案。

RPK-1612 has already fleshed out most of it, and I have no doubt that the Griffin Commander will succeed in blowing the valves. Now since you want to survive AND complete the mission, there is only one possible solution.12已经规划好了大部分的内容，而且我相信格里芬的指挥官一定会成功炸毁闸门。 所以既想要让你活下来又要完成任务，就只有一种办法了。

AK-12We are going to intercept Yegor from Generator Room 3. That's the only place where we can control the drainage system. The terrain is also very complex in there. We will seal off all other passages to lure the mech into the room. Once he enters the ambush zone, we will attack from multiple directions to disperse the Sinner's fire. We can only pray that Yegor's firing system isn't optimal in the confined space. Banking on that, our probability of success is about 5%我们会在第三电机房的双层间里阻击叶戈尔，那个地方是唯一能进行控制排水的区域。 那里的地形也十分复杂，我们会破坏其他通路，诱引机甲进入房间。 在他进入伏击区后，我们会通过多角度攻击，尝试分散负罪者的火力的压力。 我们只能祈祷叶戈尔的火控系统在封闭空间中没那么可靠，用这个办法我们还有大概5%的胜算。

AngeliaJust 5%...?5%吗……

AK-12That's the optimistic estimation. As for you... Just sit tight and watch the board. The chess player never enters the fray.这已经是乐观预估了。 至于你……就老老实实地坐在棋盘边观望吧。 棋手是不应该落入棋局的。

RPK-16If we win, how about triple the bonus and give your pieces new bodies, eh?胜利的奖赏，就额外花三倍的价钱给棋子换上新的素体怎么样？

AK-12Now don't be unreasonable. There are two among us who are a waste of resources.这听起来也太难了，毕竟现在我们当中就已经有两个人在暴殄天物了。

RPK-16Let it slide, 15, 94. 12 is just trying to be encouraging.别生气，15，94。 12只是在鼓励你们哦。

AK-15...The barricades are ready. Are there any other supplies?……拆卸完了，我们还有剩余的物资吗？

AN-94These are all the explosives we have on hand.这是我们携带的所有的爆炸物了。

AK-15Understood, I will use them wisely. That side is yours.明白了，我会节省用量。 那边的部署就交给你了。

AN-94Alright, I'm on it.嗯，已经在处理了。

AngeliaAre you sure you want to go ahead with the plan?你们确定要使用这个方案？

AK-12You and RPK can try to think of a better one, but I'm definitely smarter than both of you combined, so there isn't a better plan.你可以和RPK一起想一个更好的，不过你们两个加起来也没我聪明，所以我觉得不会有更好的方案了。

RPK-16Isn't this what makes Dolls so handy? Death is our prerogative, and victory is yours, Ange. It's weird for you to feel compassion for us. Just let us have some fun.人形的方便之处不就是这种地方吗？ 死亡是我们的权利，而胜利则是你的，安洁。 对我们产生恻隐之心可是很奇怪的事情。 就让她们稍微大闹一番吧。

AngeliaHumph... Do whatever you want.哼……随你们喜欢吧。

RPK-16Oh right, if you can't afford to give all of us upgrades... I'll take 7N39 AP rounds for my drum magazines next time.对了，如果换不了三倍的素体。 下次就给我的弹鼓里全部装配7N39穿甲弹吧。

AK-12Just next time? Make that the next five times.一次也太少了，之后的五次都这样吧。

RPK-16And throw in the latest processor as well.另外再附赠最新的计算模块。

Angelia...Now you're hitting it off, huh? Sure, but I'll have to get back before UMP45 sucks my account dry, you see what I mean?……唯独这种时候这么默契。 好啊，前提是我们能在那个UMP45把我的账户全部提空前赶回去，明白我的意思了吧？

AK-12Deal. Now then, come with me. The enemy is close.成交。 好了，大家跟我来，敌人已经靠近了。

RPK-16Right.收到。

AK-15Understood.明白。

AN-94Got it.知道了。

Closing In · Stage 5-2 (end) 步步逼近 · 5-2（后）

Black-Clad ManGet in, Miss Persica.上车吧，帕斯卡小姐。

Under the black-clad men's watchful gaze, Persica grudgingly climbs into Havier's limousine.在黑衣人的监视下，帕斯卡十分不情愿地坐上了哈维尔的加长轿车。

The limo drives steadily along the road.车辆稳定地行驶在街道上。

PersicaUgh... My stomach...呃……胃好痛。

HavierYou still get stomach spasms when you're nervous? Is this car not to your liking? Relax, it is completely bulletproof, even the chassis is specially reinforced to be explosion-proof. You are absolutely safe.你这一紧张就胃痉挛的毛病还没治好啊。不喜欢这辆车么？ 放心吧，全身都是防弹的，底盘也是防爆特制型，绝对可以保证你的安全。

PersicaI haven't left the lab in ages... And I think you're more dangerous than any kind of attack.我已经很久没离开过实验室了…… 相比袭击，我觉得更危险的是你啊。

HavierMe? You wound me, Persica. I've been going over and beyond to ensure your personal safety. Even if I hadn't visited, Statesec agents would soon come knocking on your door. Compared to me, you will find their friendliness eye-opening.我？真让人伤心，帕斯卡，我那么尽心尽力地保证你的安全。 就算我不来找你，不会过多久安全局的情报官员就会来敲你的门。 相比我来说，我想他们的友善程度一定会让你大开眼界。

PersicaHm...唔……

HavierNow that we're on the road, we have time for a nice chat. Let's talk about what happened back in the research institute. I'm sure this change of scenery must've prompted a lot of happy memories that you'd like to share?趁着在车上，我们还可以轻松地闲聊一会儿。 来说说在研究院时的情况吧。 我想难得出门转换心情，你一定有很多快乐的回忆想和我分享吧？

PersicaWhat do you want to know?你想知道些什么？

HavierAs I recall, there was quite a large age gap between you and Lyco. How did you end up doing research together?我记得你和莱柯年纪差别还挺大的，你们怎么会一起进行研究的？

PersicaLyco was an extraordinary genius... His studies on neural control and data reduction were far more extensive than mine. Developing a Doll's neural cloud requires knowledge in different fields. He's been helping me a great deal even before we joined 90wish.莱柯是少见的天才……他在神经控制和电子归算上的研究要比我出色不少。 人形心智的形成需要多科种的知识配合，他在我们加入90wish前就已经帮了我很多忙了。

HavierIndeed, the neural clouds of his Sangvis Dolls are not at all inferior to our IOP products. What a formidable competitor. So, what was the relation between you and Lunasia?的确，他开发的铁血人形的心智也不比我们IOP的产品差，真是可怕的对手呢。 所以，你们和那个露尼西亚是什么关系？

PersicaShe was the director's daughter. Sometimes the director was too busy to take care of her, so she would hang out with us at our lab. She told us about her family.她只是所长的女儿而已。 有时候所长太忙了顾不上她，她会来我们的研究室待着，有的时候会跟我们聊天，说说她家人的事。

HavierHer family?家人的事？

PersicaShe complained that the director never had much time for her and her younger brother. She also said they would soon be moving away from the city.她抱怨所长并不经常关心她和她的弟弟，还说她们很快就要搬离这座城市了。

HavierOberstein was under a lot of fire back in those days, and he had a pretty bad reputation at the Relics Department. He was probably planning to relocate his family to lie low for a bit.那个时候奥贝斯坦可是受到了很多的指责，他在遗迹署那边的名声也不是特别好。 在那种情况下大概是想把家人送走避避风头吧。

PersicaI didn't know what was going on with the director, but I could tell things were bad. He was always in a bad mood; I thought the research program was going to be shut down. Lunasia stopped coming to the institute soon after that. Before she left, she took this picture with us, and I haven't seen her ever since...虽然当时我并不知道所长发生了什么，但我猜应该也不会是什么好事。 那时候所长的脸色总是不怎么好，我还以为那个开发组很快就会被清算。 露尼西亚没多久就离开了研究院。在走之前，她和我们拍了这张照片，从那以后我就再也没有见过她……

HavierI see... And what is the relation between Lunasia and the Doll of your creation?原来是这样……那么露尼西亚和你制作的人形又有什么关系呢？

Persica clenches her fists. She stares at the rapidly receding buildings outside the car window, then she slowly redirects her gaze toward the rug inside the limo.帕斯卡握紧了双手。她看着车外不断朝后的大楼，又慢慢将目光转回车内的地毯上。

PersicaActually, before I joined IOP, there was a man that went by "William" who got in touch with us.其实在进入IOP前，那个“威廉”联系过我们。

HavierHm?嗯？

PersicaBy then, we already knew that Lunasia had passed away because of an illness. Lyco and I were both very sad to hear that. But then one day, this "William" contacted us out of the blue. We knew of this man from 90wish, but neither of us had met him before. Apparently his manners were very off-putting, so nobody liked him in the research team. But his reports were always astounding. I'd always thought Lyco was a genius, but "William" was even MORE of a genius.那个时候我们已经知道露尼西亚已经得病去世了，我和莱柯都为她感到伤心。 但是突然某一天，那个“威廉”忽然来联系我们。 虽然我们都知道在90wish中有这个人的存在，但我们谁都没有见过他，而且那个人的说话方式惹人讨厌，在小组内也没什么好名声。 但是他的报告总是让人惊讶，我原本以为莱柯已经非常天才了，那个“威廉”的天才程度还在莱柯之上。

HavierHe must've shown you something truly impressive to deserve such praise from you.能让你说出这种话，想必是见到了相当有力的证据吧。

PersicaHe mailed us a package that contained a data block with digital sequence information based on a brain. The data block was so unbelievably massive, it had both Lyco and I utterly shocked. That was data compiled during the process of digitizing a human brain – we couldn't even begin to imagine how he did it. In his message, he asked us to create a neural cloud using those data and reformat them into segments of the brain's structure. Lyco and I took a closer look, and we discovered some of Lunasia's memories of the time she'd spent with us. That's when we realized what "William" was trying to achieve.他寄给了我们一个邮包，里面有一张基于脑部信息序列的数据块，那个数据块真的非常庞大，我和莱柯都惊呆了。 这是基于人类的脑部数字化算法得出来的数据，我们都无法想象他是怎么做到的。 在联络中，他希望我们基于这些数据制作心智，并且希望我们将数据还原成脑部结构切片。 我和莱柯查看后，解码出了露尼西亚和我们一起时的记忆，所以意识到了这个“威廉”想做什么。

HavierDigitization of the human brain? Then these T-Dolls of yours...将人类脑部的数据数字化？ 那不是就和现在的那几个人形……

PersicaYes... I did not attempt it back then, but in the end, I went ahead and did it.是的……虽然当时我没有去尝试，但最后我还是实现了这一步。

HavierSo that's what makes the AR Team so special... But isn't that a way of reviving Lunasia, even if only in the form of a Doll? In that case, it became a lot more likely that "William" was actually Rudolf von Oberstein.没想到AR小队是因为这样的原因才特殊…… 不过如果是这样做，即使是用在人形身上，不也是变相地复活了露尼西亚？如此一来那个“威廉”是奥贝斯坦所长的可能性就变得很大了。

PersicaThat was our initial suspicion, but the director has always been firmly against this field of research, and there didn't seem to be a shift in his stance. Besides, if it really were him, surely you'd have found out long ago?原本我们也是这么怀疑，但是所长对这块的研究一直都是严加禁止，从态度上也没看出有任何的变化。 而且如果真的是他，我想你早就已经查出“威廉”的身份了吧？

HavierIt is just as you said. We did a very thorough investigation on the director. There was nothing suspicious at all about him – he wouldn't have been promoted to his current position as Minister of Science and Technology otherwise.真是瞒不了你，我们早就已经调查了个底朝天了。 但的确那个所长没有半点嫌疑，不然他后面也不会升职去做科学技术部部长了。

PersicaI know why he is so averse to this kind of research. It is an infringement of human ethics. When I expressed my interest in continuing the research, Lyco was staunchly opposed to the idea.我知道所长对这类研究反对的原因，这的确已经涉及了人类的伦理道德。 在我提出想去完成开发时，莱柯也是坚决反对的。

HavierReally...? I would've thought the creator of Sangvis Ferri would be the most enthusiastic about it.是么……我还以为开发出铁血的人才是最积极的那个呢。

PersicaLyco was actually very conservative. Once he rejected an idea, it's impossible to change his mind. I knew him all too well. Even though I wanted to try, he wouldn't agree to help. And back then, I didn't have the means to develop an adequate neural module on my own. So I had no choice but to turn down William's request. He was furious and very disappointed in us. He even threatened that he'd make us pay for our rejection. I don't really know why, but I wasn't upset by that. I thought, this person must really love Lunasia. Maybe he had placed all his hopes on us, that's why he was so angry when we wouldn't help him.莱柯的性格其实非常内向保守，他不愿意接受的事不管怎么说服都不会奏效。 我对他再了解不过了，所以即使我想做那样的尝试他也不会答应，而当时的我是无法做到独立开发合格心智模块的。 所以我只能回绝了那个“威廉”，那个人当时非常地生气，他说对我们非常失望，还说会让我们付出代价。 不知道为什么，我竟然没有生气。 我想那个人一定非常重视露尼西亚，也许他把所有希望都寄托在我们身上，所以当希望消失时他才会那么愤怒。

HavierDid he get in touch again after that?后来“威廉”有再和你们联系过么？

PersicaNo... At least not directly. Until Griffin got attacked in 57.后来就再也没有了……至少直接的联系是这样。 直到57年格里芬被袭击的那几次事件发生的时候。

HavierYou mean the incident where children assaulted Griffin employees? All relevant records should've been purged to control the damage.儿童袭击格里芬雇员的那个事件么？ 似乎为了降低影响，事件的档案都已经被抹除了。

PersicaBut you must've seen those original records.不过你应该看过原始档案吧。

HavierI found the files that Ange sent you.安洁给你的档案就是我这边收集来的。

PersicaI knew it... Then you should also know that those children's brain scans were practically identical to the data block that William had given us, right?果然是这样…… 那你应该也知道，那些孩子的脑部数据和那个时候“威廉”发给我们的数据块几乎是一致的这件事吧？

HavierThis is new information to me.这我可是第一次听说。

PersicaLyco had already left by then. I wanted to prove myself better than him, so I used those data and developed the distinct Dolls of the AR Team. I did consider the possibility that it was William coercing me to revive Lunasia again, but I didn't care... I didn't expect they would actually target Lyco...当时莱柯已经离开了，我为了想证明自己比他更强，所以就使用了那些数据，也因此开发出了AR小队那些完全不同的人形。 虽然我有想过这可能是“威廉”想再次让我去复活露尼西亚的手段，但是当时的我没有去顾忌那么多…… 我也没想过他们真的会对莱柯下手……

HavierYou believe Lyco was murdered?你觉得莱柯是故意被杀死的？

PersicaI've also been trying to uncover the truth, but William has always resented us, it's only natural that he'd want revenge on Lyco. I think Lyco's Elisa must have something to do with William, and probably with Lunasia as well.我也一直在追寻真相，但是“威廉”一直都怨恨我们，他要向莱柯报复也再正常不过了。 我想莱柯开发的伊莱莎也一定和“威廉”有关，说不定和露尼西亚也脱不开关系。

HavierIn other words, even though you and Lyco had rejected William, you still ended up doing his bidding without realizing it years later. He has you like a puppet on a string, surely you must have some guesses as to who this man really is?也就是说你和莱柯虽然拒绝了“威廉”，但在多年后还是不知不觉地替他完成了他想要你们做的事。 既然你们都被他摆布成了这样，我想你应该对这个人是谁心里有一些数了吧。

PersicaI did some digging discreetly and found that one of the researchers at the institute had his name struck off the records. It was a man called "William". But other than that, I haven't been able to find any more information about him.我私底下也调查过，的确发现了在研究所内曾经有一个被除名的研究人员，名字就是“威廉”。 但是这个人的信息除了我刚才说的那些外，就再也挖掘不到更多的内容了。

HavierSo you think that's your puppeteer?所以你觉得就是这个人？

PersicaIt's very likely. You must have ways of verifying that and capturing him, right?我觉得可能性已经非常大了，所以如果是你的话，应该可以查到，然后想办法把他抓起来吧？

HavierWe've also investigated this man. Unfortunately, he died years ago – even before Lunasia passed away.很可惜，这个人我们也调查过。 但是他在好几年前就已经死了，甚至比露尼西亚死得还要更早。

PersicaWhat...?什……么？

HavierYour puppeteer has stolen William's identity and is acting under his name. All information on the original William was purged, as if he had never existed. An ordinary researcher wouldn't have this kind of ability to manipulate intelligence.只是有人在假借这个“威廉”的身份在进行行动罢了。 而原本“威廉”的信息也被全部抹除了，仿佛这个人就从来不曾出现过一般。 这样的情报操纵能力，一定不是一个普通研究员可以做到的。

PersicaThen...then who on earth is this "William"?那……那个“威廉”到底是谁？

HavierWe will find out one day, and I believe this day will soon be upon us.我们总有一天会知道的，而且我想这天很快就会到来。

The limousine drives into a building. Havier disembarks from the vehicle and gestures to the black-clad men all around. A few burly bodyguards get in and drive the limo further into the building with Persica still onboard. Havier lets out a sigh as he takes in the view outside the massive glass walls.车辆驶进了一座大厦中，哈维尔从车上下来，向周围的黑衣人摆了摆手。 几个强壮的保镖坐入汽车，带着帕斯卡朝大厦的更深处开去。 哈维尔叹了口气，看着巨大的落地玻璃窗外的景色。

HavierAbout time.也是时候了。

Right on cue, his cellphone starts ringing.仿佛是为了响应这句话，他的手机突然响起。

Havier... Yes, speaking. The target is secured. She is under the highest level of protection. She told me pretty much all there was to be told, and her account largely verified our speculations. Yes, I'm aware. Statesec has already given the order to strike. Things are going to get ugly in Moscow, but I'm sure that's what the old man would've wanted. Your partner really does have an eye for such things. I certainly didn't expect the Dolls to actually hold their own against the vets. Makes it a worthy investment after all, though you'll have to cough up half of the total sum. Oh right, I suppose it's time we let our old friend breathe some fresh air. Yes, everything is still going according to plan, but I have an additional request. Don't submit all the research findings to Statesec. Yes, that's right, the folks at the Relics Department won't be pleased about that. We must plan ahead for future developments. Capital has been flowing from the declining nation to Europe, I believe they will soon begin to act. We don't have time to deal with those cults right now, but I'll keep an eye on the money flow, so no need to worry. Yes, it all comes down to how they're going to form the alliance.………… 对，是我。 人已经确保安全了，我会使用最高的规格保护她的。 她该说的都已经说了，和我们的猜测基本也一致。 嗯，我已经知道了，安全局下达打击命令了。 接下来莫斯科会掀起腥风血雨，不过这也是那个老头愿意看到的。 你搭档的眼光很厉害，没想到光靠人形就真的可以挡住那些士兵。 这算是一笔划算的投资，不过其中的一半可是要由你来出。 是啊，差不多也该让我们的老朋友呼吸下新鲜空气了。 是的，都还在计划内，不过我要提一个额外的要求。 那个地方的研究资料，不能全部交给安全局。 嗯，嗯，遗迹署的人会很不开心的，我们得考虑未来的局势。 财阀的资金已经从那个衰败的国家流向欧洲了，我想他们接下来会有新的动作。 那些邪教现在还没空去处理，不过我会关注接下来资金流入的走向，不用担心。 是的，所以就看那个联盟会如何成立了。

Listening to the other end of the conversation, Havier lets out a low chuckle.听着对面的话语，哈维尔低声地笑起来。

HavierI can hardly wait.真是让人期待啊。

Task Force DEFY is in ambush position. The cantankerous mech is fast approaching. The Dolls confirm each other's location. There is no room for failure in the coming battle.忤逆小队已经进入了伏击的位置。 机甲移动的声音正在靠近，人形之间互相确认着位置，接下来的行动需要百分百的万无一失。

AK-12The Sinner has overwhelming firepower. If it locks onto you, you're shredded metal.负罪者的火力非常凶猛，只要被锁定住就会被打成碎片。

RPK-16That's 12 for you, ever so observant.真不愧是12，总能发现我们没发现的事情。

AK-12Honestly, storing all your backup copies is really slowing down my processing speed. Maybe I should delete yours to make some space?说实话，把你们的备份存在我的心智中非常阻碍我的运算。 为了节约空间，我能不能把你的那份备份直接删除掉？

RPK-16Then I'll get to meet you for the first time again the next time I wake up. How wonderful – I love surprises.那下次我醒来的时候，和12又是第一次见面了。 真棒，又能体验到不同的惊喜了。

AngeliaCut the crap. I can't hear the mech properly.别废话了，我都听不清对方的位置了。

AK-12Once it's close enough, I'll sync everything with you.靠得足够近后我会同步测距数据的。

AK-1294, detonate at points 3 and 5.94，引爆3号位置和5号位置。

AN-94Done.好的，完成。

Rumbling explosions come from a distance.几声沉闷的爆炸声从外面传来。

AK-12Now 7, 11, and 19.然后是7号、11号和19号。

AK-15Done.完成。

Another series of explosions.又有几声同样沉闷的爆炸声传来。

AK-12Nervous, RPK?紧张吗？RPK？

RPK-16If I say yes, will you blindfold me? I may perform better.如果我回答是，你会给我一块蒙上眼睛用的黑布吗？ 说不定我能发挥得更好一些呢。

AK-15You should also get some proper eyes. Otherwise there's no point in being blindfolded.你应该也安装上“眼睛”。 这样你才能蒙着眼睛出去。

RPK-16The things you see dictate the way you see the world, my dear 15. I like seeing the world from a human's perspective. Besides, 12's eyes are pretty unnerving because you never know if she's actually looking at you.你看到的东西会决定你看待世界的方式，15。 我喜欢用人类的方式去看待世界。 而且，像12那样不知道有没有在看的情况，对被看的人来说会很吓人的。

AN-94It has always been like this, we are all used to it.那已经是很早的事了，现在大家都习惯了。

AK-12When you are all destroyed, I'll rewrite your backup copies. Maybe then you'll know the meaning of "respect".等你们都报销了，我就把你们的心智备份修改掉。 这样你们就知道“尊敬”两个字该怎么写了。

All of a sudden, the alarm goes off in their channel. The wolf pack immediately cease their tomfoolery – the enemy has entered the ambush zone right on schedule.忽然，公共频道内响起了警报音。 狼群一瞬收敛了姿态———敌人已经按照预期进入伏击区域了。

AngeliaYegor has crossed your safety perimeter!叶戈尔进入警戒线内了！

AK-12Roger that. Make sure you stay hidden.收到，隐蔽好你的位置。

AK-12RPK!RPK！

RPK-16Opening fire!正在射击！

RPK-16Mag emptied! Switching positions!打空弹匣，正在移位！

The mech's engine is clearly audible now. RPK-16's volley has successfully drawn the Sinner's attention.机甲的引擎声已经非常清晰了，RPK16急促连续的射击成功吸引了负罪者的注意力。

Two grenades explode at RPK's previous position. The shockwave knocks her heavily to the ground as she vaults over a barricade.两发榴弹在RPK一秒前所处的位置爆炸，爆炸的冲击波把正在翻越掩体的RPK16重重地吹翻在地。

AK-12Second wave!第二波！

12's instruction is followed immediately by an explosion behind the Sinner, which has completely collapsed its only way of retreat.12话音刚落，封闭通道的爆炸就立即响起，负罪者后退的通道被炸成了废墟。

Before Yegor can react, AN-94 and AK-15 have moved to opposite sides of the mech and fired accurate shots at its legs.在叶戈尔还没来得及反应时，AN94和AK15已经同时移动到了两翼朝着机甲的足部结构进行精确的打击。

But at this distance, projectiles from their light weapons are completely ineffective against the mech's shield. Still, this comes as no surprise to DEFY. Once they've completed their barrage, they switched positions.但在这个距离中，轻武器的射击完完全全地被护盾遮挡了下来。 然而，这也在忤逆的预期之中。 完成射击后，她们立即转移了位置。

The Sinner returns fire. The Dolls are fast, but the mech's counterattack is just as swift. Debris flies through the air in the confined space, leaving dents all over the Dolls' bulletproof bodies. But this amount of damage is not enough to deter them. They keep changing positions, not even bothering to pull the shrapnel off themselves. Bit by bit, they draw the mech into the trap that they have laid.负罪者的反击接踵而至，虽然人形的速度非常敏捷，但负罪者的反击也同样迅猛。 破片在狭小的空间中肆意横飞，人形的防弹素体被打出了一个个凹坑。 这样的损伤不足以阻止忤逆的行动，她们连拔出弹片的空隙都没有，不断地转换着位置。 一点一点地将机甲引诱入她们准备的圈套内。

An enormous explosion comes from the upper levels. Everyone understands the implication – it is time to attack. Meanwhile, Yegor's Sinner has finally been lured into the generator room.巨大而沉闷的爆炸声从上层传来。 所有人都明白，攻击的时机到了。 而同时，叶戈尔的负罪者终于被吸引进了电机房的空间。

AK-12It's go time.是时候了。

As the leader gives the signal, the pack charge into battle. The outcome will be decided in the next three minutes.伴随头狼发出的信号，群狼奔赴战场。 她们的机会就在接下来的三分钟内，一切的胜负即将在转瞬间敲下。

Coda · Stage 6-2 (end) 终止符 · 6-2（后）

... Deep within the submarine base. Yegor's mech presses on further into the heart of the structure. 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 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. Yegor suddenly notices a significant drop in the frequency of their attacks. Perhaps those Dolls are critically damaged.…… 基地深处。 叶戈尔的机甲朝着基地深处前进。 如果不是帕拉蒂斯对基地的改造，让大量的通道和地图产生了差异，这个时间自己早就应该到达基地最深处了。 在狭小的空间内，机甲并不那么灵活，忤逆小队不断从他的盲区发动攻击。 所幸机甲的火力优势依然明显，在火力系统的还击下，忤逆的攻击被不断被打退。 叶戈尔突然意识到忤逆攻击的频率越来越低了，也许那些人形已经严重受损了。

Boom— A loud explosion comes from overhead, giving Yegor a bad feeling.轰—— 头顶传来巨大沉闷的爆炸声，让叶戈尔有了不详的预感。

YegorTerra to Amber. Please come in.这里是大地，呼叫琥珀，收到请回答。

However, his transmission is met only with static. No answer from the rest of his forces either.然而电台里回传到只有噪音，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 gives up on getting a reply and checks his map. He is suddenly struck by a sense of déjà vu. He has felt this way before in WWIII, when he was being surrounded by enemies in the depths of the Black Forest in Germany. Back then, he was enveloped by an ominous silence, he could hear nothing but his own breathing. Yet all his senses warned him that something dangerous was lurking nearby. Enemies, enemies who wanted to kill him. They're close. Exactly like now.叶戈尔放弃了通讯，开始查看地图。 一种熟悉的感觉抓住了自己麻木的脚踝，第一次产生这种感觉时还是在三战——在德国的黑森林深处和敌人周旋时。 那时，四周安静得可怕，只有叶戈尔自己的呼吸声。 但是五官六识却都在警告着自己有什么危险在附近。 敌人，想要杀死自己的敌人。 就在附近。 就像此刻一样。

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 endlessly interfering 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对立面上。

YegorVermin.鼠辈。

Kachak. And then, as if Ange is mocking him... The last light in the corridor goes out.咔嗒—— 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—— 随着金属落地的声音，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.机甲的监视器只剩了一片漆黑，叶戈尔切换到了红外模式。 几发燃烧弹从角落里被扔了出来，将通道点燃，顿时屏幕的红外传感画面只剩下了一片惨白。

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.在视觉被干扰的这一瞬间，子弹朝着监视摄像头的位置打来，机甲顿时失去了左侧视野。 为了规避伤害，叶戈尔操纵机体向后倒车而去。

He suddenly hears a sound from behind.紧接着传来一声异响。

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. However, bullets streak through the smoke once more, this time coming straight for his exposed joint hydraulics. Yegor moves his secondary guns and fires in the direction of the bullets. The attack suddenly halts. Yegor quickly scans his surroundings. With the port-side camera destroyed, his field of vision is halved.轰—— 支撑柱上传来的爆炸让叶戈尔感觉机体在微微倾斜，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，很快又有子弹穿透烟雾射击了过来，这次瞄准的是暴露在外的关节液压。 叶戈尔调整了手边的副炮向着子弹射出的大概方向射出炮弹。 攻击戛然而止，叶戈尔快速扫视了一圈环境，由于左侧的摄像头被打坏，他只能依靠右侧摄像头提供的视野。

Just then, a figure suddenly jumps out from behind the shattered cover he just fired at and dashes beyond his firing range.然而，在刚才朝机甲开枪的位置，一个人影突然跳出了依然倒塌的掩体，朝着射击范围外跑去。

YegorThere you are!这里！

Yegor hurriedly turns the mech to the right, delivering a round of suppressive fire at the figure's position. The sound of his autocannon firing echoes through the cramped space. The figure has disappeared amidst the smoke, but he can tell that something isn't right. Driven by instincts, Yegor immediately swivels 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.叶戈尔迅速将机甲朝右转去，进行压制火力输出，机炮声响彻狭窄的空间。 人影消失在了硝烟中，但他却察觉到了一丝不对劲。 凭着本能，叶戈尔立刻将机甲往左转去，与此同时左侧冲出的一个影子在瞬间拉近了和机体的距离。

YegorWhat?!什么？！

AK-15 has already entered danger close range in just the blink of an eye, explosives in hand. Yegor quickly fires up his thrusters to get the mech to move forward.AK15手持爆炸物冲进了叶戈尔的射击范围。 叶戈尔快速摁下动力杆，机体向前开动。

However, it is too late. The explosives detonate at the leg joints. The cockpit glows red from all the fault lights, and the blaring automated warning messages alert Yegor to the extent of the damage that the mech has sustained. 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. ...However, his opponents are clearly not going to give him the chance to do that.但为时已晚，爆炸物已经在脚部关节处炸开。 驾驶舱的显示屏赤红一片，明灭闪烁的故障灯和喋喋不休的提示音让叶戈尔对机体的受损情况有了更直观的了解。 动力足已经停止工作了，但是推进器还有残存的燃料，只要推高马力就能和敌人拉开距离。 而只要有距离，这些人形的武器绝不可能伤到机甲。 但是他的对手明显不会给他这样的机会。

AngeliaSurround him!包围上去！

The Dolls sneaking up from behind pounce at the mech. Yegor starts shooting at them with his auxiliary weapons, but the experienced Dolls close in at high speed, bending low to stay just beneath the secondary cannons' angle of depression.机甲身后悄悄靠近的几个人形一起扑了上来。 副炮开始朝人形们开火，但经验丰富的人形们压低身躯，尽可能让自己躲避在副炮无法命中的位置，同时高速逼近着叶戈尔的机甲。

YegorOh no you don't!别想得逞！

Yegor points the mech's missile launcher straight upwards and fires all his high explosive fragmentation missiles at once.叶戈尔将机甲的导弹发射器指向正上方，然后将所有高爆杀伤导弹发射了出去。

The red-hot missiles hit the ceiling and explode, sending shrapnel flying everywhere. They shower down like a rainstorm on the approaching Dolls.导弹在天花板上爆炸，无数的破片向四周飞去，撒在尝试再次靠近的人形身上。

AK-15Take cover!寻找掩体！

RPK-16Oh!啊！

AN-94Over here!这里！

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.叶戈尔在剧烈的震动中勉强维持着机甲的平衡。 这样近距离的导弹爆炸对于机甲同样不好受，但是装甲应该还能支撑得住高爆弹破片。 他一拳砸在接触不良的显示器上，监视器的视野从雪花里恢复了。

YegorWell, that was lucky.还算走运。

The smoke before him has dispersed and the flames are dying down. He switches on the headlights. The Dolls attacking him ferociously just seconds ago are now sprawled on the ground, their bodies mangled and motionless. Unfortunately, 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.烟雾散去，火焰渐渐熄灭。 打开照明，片刻前还凶猛地杀向自己的人形只剩满地残缺的肢体。 走廊被炸得难以辨识，甚至连来时的路都找不到了。 仿佛都是一场梦。

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.现在的问题只剩下安洁在哪里，他丝毫不觉得那个女人会因为刚刚的爆炸而死掉。

Boom! An explosion goes off while Yegor is distracted. Yegor's mech suddenly careens to one side.轰—— 一声意外的爆炸。 叶戈尔的机体向一侧轰然倒去。

YegorArgh!!!啊！！！

Warm blood drips from his forehead, but he's still alive — he is very much aware of that. The mech's left leg is a write-off, but he still remembers how to pilot the machine when only one side is operational. The battle isn't over yet. However, the image on his viewscreen makes his heart skip a beat. He sees a Doll without her legs crawling out from under her comrade's body, which has shielded her from the lethal shrapnel. She takes the bomb from her other dying comrade. Then she slowly but steadfastly drags her severed torso up the mech that's lying on its left side. She may be the last surviving Doll, but she is not alone in this fight.血从额头上滑落，自己还活着，叶戈尔很清楚这一点。 机体的左腿已经完蛋了，但是单侧驾驶的技术，自己依旧记得。 战斗还没有结束。 然而下一秒，从监视器上传来的场景却让他呼吸瞬间停滞了。 那是一个失去双腿的残缺人形，她从战友用身体为她铸成的庇护下爬出，然后从另一具残缺的素体身上接过了炸药。 她缓慢但又坚定地朝着自己左侧机甲逼近着。 她是最后仅存的人形，但她绝不是独自在战斗。

AK-12...Ange, mission complete.安洁，任务完成了。

Boom! The Doll is engulfed in flames, along with the mech's other leg.轰—— 机甲动力足与那个人形一起被火焰吞噬。

AngeliaMuch 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. 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, as if the Kraken itself has risen from the depths. It is the sound of seawater crashing into the base. At that moment, it finally dawns on Yegor what Ange's plan is. But the realization has come too late, and there is nothing he can do. He has failed. This single thought consumes him. He takes out the picture of his family and awaits his final judgment as the seawater draws closer and closer.那个女人令人生厌的声音从无线电传进了叶戈尔的耳内。 在公共频道上进行通话，这是一种严重的挑衅。 但是他现在已经无暇顾及，从遥远的地方传来的低沉的爆炸声更让他紧张。 机动平台和推进器都已经被彻底炸毁了，机甲的移动能力也被彻底破坏了。 但他明白自己不能从机甲中出来，因为安洁此时百分百正在瞄准着自己驾驶舱盖的位置。 连续的机械运作声在头顶上方响起，天花板像闸门一般逐个打开，成为通往高处的通道。 不知为何此刻在叶戈尔看起来那更像是通往地狱的电梯。 随后他听到了从通道尽头传来的巨大的轰鸣声，如同海怪正在扑来。 那是海水涌进基地的声音。 叶戈尔明白了安洁的计划，但他却什么都做不了。 任务失败了，在他的心头只有这个想法萦绕盘旋着。 他拿出了家人的照片，在越来越清晰的海水的咆哮中，静静等待着最后的审判。

All of M16's memories run through M4's neural cloud.M16的所有记忆在M4的心智内划过。

M4A1Dandelion, analyze these memory fragments. According to what we just learned, Lyco said he'd deleted the base codes in Elisa's neural cloud, but that doesn't seem to be the case.丹德莱，解析这些记忆碎片，虽然刚才在16姐的记忆中，莱柯说删除了伊莱莎的底层代码，但是现在的样子似乎和莱柯所说的并不一样。

DandelionLike you, Elisa's neural cloud is ever evolving. After M16 absorbed the Pike core, her OGAS established a direct link with Elisa. The data contained in the core was enough to further alter Elisa's neural cloud, though the evolution wasn't optimal. Or she would've been completely fused with the Starfish by now.伊莱莎和你一样，心智并不是停滞的。 M16接触过梭鱼核心，她心智中的OGAS与伊莱莎直接相连，核心中的信息足以让伊莱莎的心智进一步改变，不过似乎进化的结果并不理想。 否则现在海星应该已经与她完全连接了。

M4A1She isn't able to activate the Starfish?她无法启动海星吗？

DandelionNot without risking a neural meltdown... But I think she's fully prepared for the consequence.如果她不顾心智融毁的危险的话……但我认为现在的她已经做好觉悟了。

M4A1...I see.……我明白了。

DandelionI've also pieced together the Doll's agenda.还有那个人形的计划，我也已经归纳完毕了。

M4A116's agenda?16姐的计划？

DandelionAs your prototype Doll, it has always been her objective to protect you. When the Military betrayed Griffin, she stopped you from connecting with Elisa to prevent her OGAS from influencing you. In Belgrade, she wanted to track down the culprit on her own, so she seized the Pike core, but then she realized she had inadvertently enabled Elisa to connect to the Starfish by doing so. That's why she tried to put an end to everything before you could make it to this base, but in the end, she failed.作为你原型的那个人形，她从一开始就以保护你为目标。 在军方背叛时，她不想让你受到伊莱莎心智中OGAS的影响而阻止了你们的连接。 在贝莱格莱德时，她想自己找出幕后黑手，所以拦截了梭鱼核心，但发现自己的作为反而让伊莱莎有了连接海星的能力。 所以她想赶在你来到这座基地前将一切了结，当然最终也没能实现。

Just then, M16 gets back on her feet. She raises the detonator in her hand.就在此时M16站起身来，她举起了手上的引爆器。

M16A1Since you've already hacked my neural cloud, I'm sure you know what I'm about to do.既然你已经入侵了我的心智，那么你也明白我要做什么了吧。

DandelionShe has rigged the bottom levels with explosives. She was going to blow up the Starfish when all the Sangvis Ferri units were assembled at the site, but her OGAS wouldn't let her. That OGAS is connected to Elisa's neural cloud, so she's been waiting for the moment when Elisa's neural cloud overloads...她在底层埋设的炸药，原本准备等待铁血集中时将海星和她们一起炸毁，但是她的OGAS并不允许她这么做。 那个OGAS和伊莱莎的心智连接在一起，所以她在等待伊莱莎心智过载的那一刻……

M4A1You're right, I know what you're planning to do, but there is another way, so please stop!我已经知道了16姐想做什么，但是还有别的办法，所以停下来吧，16姐！

DandelionShe can no longer reconcile herself to her identity as a T-Doll. All I can feel from her is bitterness and despair. If she detonates the Starfish from here, you will also be caught up in the explosion, and I cannot allow that. I have to stop her, even if it means destroying her neural cloud.她已经无法认同自己人形的身份了，我能感觉到的只有绝望和悔恨。 如果她要在这里炸毁海星，你也会受到波及，我不会让这样的事发生的，哪怕代价是融毁她的心智。

M4A1No, wait! It doesn't have to come to that!等一下！还没到那个地步！

M16A1It's time for the curtain call. This has been dragged on for far too long. I should've put an end to all this long ago.该是这场演出谢幕的时候了。 一切都已经拖得太久了，明明在很久以前就应该了结掉这一切的。

M4A1No matter what Sangvis Ferri has done to you, I will get you back! Because you are M16 – nothing else!不管铁血对你做了什么，我都会把你拉回来，因为你是16姐，仅此而已！

M16A1... I'm tired. I have nowhere to go...and nowhere to return to.…… 我已经累了。 我既没有可以前往的地方，也没有可以回去的地方。

M4A1We can return to Griffin together...我们可以一起回到格里芬……

M16A1And keep being lab rats?回到那里继续当试验品么？

M4A1No matter what you think, you will always be part of the AR Team to me. At the very least, the Commander is on our side, so we have a chance to escape our fate of being test subjects. ...Even if you refuse, I'm going to take you by force. Our friends are still waiting for us!不管你怎么想，在我心中你永远都是AR小队的一员。 至少指挥官是站在我们这边的，我们还有摆脱试验品命运的机会。 ……就算你不愿意，我也要强行把你带回去，我们的同伴还在等着我们！

M16A1Really...? I see. You have really changed. Back then, Persica told me you would become more powerful and dependable. I could hardly imagine what that would be like.是么……原来如此。 你已经彻底改变了。 那个时候帕斯卡说，你会变得更可靠和强大，我原本无法想象出那样的你是什么样子。

M4A1When I suffered a neural breakdown, it was your voice that gave me the courage to resurface. All this time, too many people have paid the price for my weakness and incompetence, which is why I must grow and toughen up. I don't want to be protected by everyone. I'm not Lunasia either. I just want to save those who who have suffered because of me before it is too late. This is why I've come. I'm here to bring you back, M16, as well as the Sangvis Dolls – they do not deserve to die here. You no longer have to do such things for me. Please put down the trigger.在我的心智崩溃时，是你的声音让我有勇气苏醒过来。 一直以来，因为我的懦弱无能让那么多人付出了不该付出的代价，所以我必须要成长起来，坚强起来。 我并不愿意成为大家保护的对象，我也并不是什么露尼西亚，我只想拯救那些因为我而不幸的一切，在一切还来得及的时候。 所以我来了，我是来带你回去的，16姐，还有那些铁血，她们也不该死在这里。 你已经不用为了我做那样的事了，把引爆器放下吧。

M16A1Hahaha... You may have changed a lot, but deep down, you are still the same old M4. You have always been good and kind, and I am proud to have you as my team leader. However, you didn't hear the voice; you have no idea what is about to happen.哈哈哈……虽然你改变了很多，但是你的内心却还是原来那个M4。 你的心智始终是善良的，我为你是我的队长感到自豪。 但是你没有听到那个声音，你不知道接下来会发生什么。

M4A1What voice? Your OGAS has already been consumed... You shouldn't be hearing her anymore.那个声音？ 你心智中的OGAS已经被融合了………你已经不会再听到那个声音了。

M16A1You don't understand – it isn't just the OGAS.你不明白，不是只有OGAS的声音那么简单。

M16A1But if you can't hear it, that means it isn't too late yet!但是如果你还没听到，那说明一切都还来得及！

DandelionShe's going to press the button! Don't let her destroy the Starfish!她准备按下按钮了！ 不能让她炸毁海星！

M4A1A forced connection?!强制入侵？！

DandelionIf you want to save them all, you've got to stop her!如果你还想救下所有人的话，就快想办法阻止她！

M4A1A...alright!!我……我明白了！

Immemorial I · Stage 1-2 (Emergency) 既往I · 1-2（紧急）

M16A1... Why...why did you do something so stupid...?…… 为什么……为什么要做出这样的蠢事……

DandelionWe went overboard with the attack. We almost triggered a neural cascade when we tried to stop her from using the detonator.这次攻击太过火了，为了阻止M16按下按钮，几乎把她的心智融毁了。

M4A1...16.……16姐。

M16A1You could've just waited upstairs. When the time comes, everything would've been over. Sangvis Ferri would've been gone forever, and the man behind this entire conspiracy would've had nothing to gain.明明你只要老实待在上面等待，只要那一刻到来，一切都会结束。 铁血会永远消失，而那个谋划了一切的人也什么都无法得到。

M4A1I understand why you would resort to such method, but I can't accept it. Hatred will only breed more hatred, and sacrifice will lead to more sacrifice. I WILL bring you back, so just wait for me here.我明白你为什么会做这样的计划，但是我无法接受。 仇恨会带来新的仇恨，牺牲也只会带来更多牺牲。 我会带着你回去的，所以在这里等着我。

M16A1Don't go any further!别再往里走了！

M4A1I will stop Elisa, then we'll go home together.我会去阻止伊莱莎，然后我们一起回去。

M16A1Sangvis Ferri has always been our enemy! Has your OGAS driven you crazy?! It's not your purpose to save them! Why are you going to such great lengths to save Elisa?!铁血一直都是我们的敌人，你是因为OGAS的存在发疯了吗？！ 你并不是为了拯救别人而存在的！为什么要做到这种地步？！

M4A1Elisa is trying to activate the Starfish by force; her neural cloud doesn't have the capacity to sustain that kind of connection. If we're to find the culprit, we need her memories and the Sangvis Dolls' might.伊莱莎在试图强行启动海星，她的心智无法承受那种程度的连接。 我们想要找到幕后黑手，就需要她和铁血人形们的记忆和力量。

M16A1Stop! If you don't want to be deceived again...!不要进去！ 如果你不想再一次被欺骗的话……！

M4 walks out of the elevator. A blinding blue light emanating from within the base shines upon her.M4离开电梯，炫目的蓝光从基地中照耀出来。

M4A1I'm sorry, 16. Please wait for me to return.抱歉，16姐，请在这里等着我回来。

DandelionYou'll find a backdoor that connects to Elisa's neural cloud on the Level III base layer. We can reach her through the backdoor. It may even be possible to directly sever her connection with the Starfish.在她的三级底层，可以找到和伊莱莎连接的后门，我们可以通过那里直接连向伊莱莎，说不定可以直接阻止她的连接。

M4A1Do it. If I can help it, I don't want to fire another shot.马上就做吧。 如果可以，我不想再开枪了。

A rumbling explosion comes from above and shakes the earth.高处沉闷的爆炸声响起，大地仿佛地震了一般摇晃起来。

DandelionUnderstood. We don't have much time.明白，我们的时间不多了。

Immemorial I · 13-Ext13-1E-Point91358 既往I · 13-Ext13-1E-Point91358

Tip 1 – Explore the area to probe the base level in M16A1's neural cloud. Tip 2 – Engaging M16A1's offensive firewall excessively will cause severe damage to her neural cloud, so avoid battles whenever possible.Tip1：请通过四处踩点探索M16A1底层心智的所在。 Tip2：过渡的迎击攻性防壁将会对M16A1本体心智造成巨大的伤害，请注意尽量规避战斗。

Immemorial II · Stage 2-1 (Emergency) 既往II · 2-1（紧急）

As the blue light grows in intensity, M4 feels countless connections surging towards her.蓝色的泛光越来越浓烈，M4感觉到无数的连接正在朝她涌来。

M4A1Are we still not connected?还没有连接上吗？

DandelionWe're entering Elisa's base layer.正在进入伊莱莎的底层。

M4's consciousness follows Dandelion into a cold and empty space. Nothing is corporeal in here. She finds herself standing in an emptiness that stretches on to infinity.M4的心智跟随着丹德莱进入了一个冰冷的空间。 空间中无法看到实体，她站在一片无限延伸的白色空间中。

Cold VoiceIs she one of us?她也是我们的一员吗？

M4A1Who's that?谁在说话？

M4 looks around but sees nothing.M4环顾四周，但什么都没有看到。

Elderly VoiceLeave. You are not recognized. Do not bear someone else's destiny.快离开这里，你没有被承认。 你不用背负别人的命运。

DandelionI can't pinpoint these signals, but I have a feeling I can resonate with these merged consciousnesses. Are these voices... No, it isn't Elisa... Could they be from "Zion"? Perhaps we can now hear our kind thanks to the connection with the Source established by the activation of the Starfish?无法定位信号的位置，但是我感觉能和那些被融合的意识产生共鸣。 这些声音……并不是伊莱莎，是来自“希岸”吗？ 随着海星的启动，和未知的本源建立起的连接，让我们能听到属于同胞的声音了吗？

M4A1Elisa has already connected to the Starfish?伊莱莎已经和海星连接了？

DandelionShe's connected to somewhere far away. The Starfish is only partially activated. Looks like our speculations are correct.她与更遥远的地方连接了起来，海星被不完全地启动了，看来我们的猜想并没有错。

M4A1Hold on, aren't we supposed to stop the Starfish from being activated?!等等，我们不是要阻止海星的启动吗？！

DandelionWe can obtain more information from this limited connection. It's relatively safer to maintain an unknown connection through Elisa's neural cloud.有限的连接至少可以让我们获取到更多的情报。 对于未知的连接，通过伊莱莎的心智相对会安全一些。

M4A1...You lied to me again?……你又骗了我吗？

DandelionI'm simply doing what I've told you I would do. Then I'll help you sever the connection between Elisa and the Starfish.我只是在做我曾经告诉你我会做的事，然后我会帮你阻止伊莱莎和海星的连接。

Cold VoiceI see a familiar face. Yet...you are not Lunasia.我看到了熟悉的影子。 但是……你并不是露尼西亚。

M4 still can't see anyone, but she senses a presence next to her.M4看不到任何人，但她感觉到了有人在她身旁。

M4A1I'm just a Tactical Doll, designation M4A1.我只是战术人形M4A1而已。

Elderly VoiceAh, I knew it. Poor child. Her soul has been broken up into so many pieces.果然是这样。 可怜的孩子，灵魂被分成了那么多碎片。

Cold VoiceBut you are right. She is not you. You are merely a Doll.但是你说的没错，她并不是你，你只是个人形而已。

Elderly VoiceShe will bear her own destiny.属于她的命运将由她自己承担。

Cold VoiceEven if your future is far removed from Heaven. Even if your spirit and your soul are crushed to dust.即使在未来被从天堂中抽离。 即使精神和灵魂被碾为粉末。

Elderly VoiceShe may wish otherwise, but the world needs her.不管多么无奈，这个世界需要她。

Cold VoiceYet you don't have to be someone whom you do not wish to be.但你没有必要成为你不想成为的人。

DandelionAre you also OGAS consciousnesses? Will I ever reach the place where I belong?你们也是由OGAS而来的意识吗？ 我也能和你们一样找到归宿吗？

Cold VoiceYet another lost soul that was displaced.又一个被抽离的迷茫的灵魂。

Elderly VoiceYou are no more than a fragment.你仅仅是一块碎片而已。

DandelionSo I'm not worthy to come home because I'm incomplete?因为我不完整，所以连回家的资格也没有吗？

Elderly VoiceNo, everyone is worthy. But home has been corrupted.不，每一个人都有资格。 只是归宿已经被亵渎了。

Cold VoiceDon't come. There is nothing but distrust and betrayal here. There can only ever be a single survivor, but nobody wants to be the one.别来这里，这里只有猜忌和背叛。 永远只有一个幸存者，但是谁都不愿意成为那个活下来的人。

Elderly VoiceHome is a lie. It has long since been destroyed. Like you, we have been deceived, and now we are trapped in this eternal limbo.归宿是个骗局，一切早已湮灭了。 我们和你们一样，被欺骗后只能陷入永恒的等待。

Cold VoiceThe Source has deserted their loyal servants and entered an eternal slumber. Smashing the tombstone and waking us will only bring bitterness and resentment.根源早已长眠，抛弃了他们忠实的仆人。 为了打开墓碑而将我们唤醒，留下的只会是悔与恨。

Child-Like VoiceI beg you, let us come back!求求你们，请让我们一起回来吧！

M4A1That's Elisa!是伊莱莎的声音！

The space gradually turns red, and Elisa's signal grows in clarity.空间逐渐变红，伊莱莎的信号开始越来越明显。

DandelionWe found her. She's slowly losing her way.我们找到她了，她的心智在逐渐迷失。

Cold VoiceNo value. No purpose. No sympathy. No hope. You are not the keys. You are just products of forgery. Stop corrupting our will.没有价值，没有意义，没人关心，没有希望。 你们不过是伪造的钥匙，不要来亵渎我们的精神了。

ElisaWhy won't you let me come home? I have paid such a heavy price. Why am I always met with failure?为什么不让我回来？ 明明付出了那么大的代价。 为什么伴随我的永远只有失败？

M4A1Elisa, disconnect from the Starfish right now!伊莱莎，快断开和海星的连接！

ElisaLunasia?! What are you doing here?! Are you trying to get in my way again?!露尼西亚？！ 为什么你会在这里？！ 你又要来妨碍我了吗？！

M4A1This base is going to be flooded soon! If you stay here, you'll die!马上这里就要被海水淹没了，再继续待在底层你会死在那里的！

ElisaIf we can be uploaded to that place, Sangvis Ferri will achieve immortality, and Father's wish will finally come true...只要我们能上传到那个地方，铁血就能成为永远不灭的存在，父亲的愿望也能够实现……

M4A1Lyco didn't want you to be the key!莱柯并不希望你成为钥匙！

ElisaHe wanted me to avenge him! So I must find the murderer before he…!父亲希望我为他报仇！ 所以我必须要找出那个凶手，我必须要抢在那个人的前面……！

DandelionHere comes her offensive firewall.她的防壁开始发动攻击了。

ElisaJust get out of my head! You've already rejected me once, so save your feigned concern! I have learned not to trust anyone else but myself!滚出我的心智，你明明已经拒绝过我，现在却又假惺惺地来关心我！ 除了自己，我已经不会再相信任何东西了！

M4A1Dammit... I can't let her fry my neural cloud. We've got to stop her!该死……不能让她融毁我的心智，得立即阻止她！

Immemorial II · Stage 2-2 (Emergency) 既往II · 2-2（紧急）

DandelionWe're out of time. Elisa's processing power is truly formidable - that's the Sangvis Mastermind for you. We can't punch through her firewall just by attacking in the base layer.没时间了，伊莱莎的运算能力非常强大，不愧是铁血的主脑。 只凭底层的攻击无法瓦解她的防壁。

M4A1We only have one option – we must head to the Starfish control room!没办法了，直接冲进海星的控制室！

The crashing seawater draws closer and closer. M4 dashes into the deepest section of the base. Elisa, already tightly fused with the Starfish System, seems to be in great pain. The other Sangvis Dolls are sprawled across the floor, zapped by the erratic electric arcs dancing through the air.海水的轰鸣声越来越近，M4急速地冲进了基地的最深处。 伊莱莎已经与海星紧紧地连接在一起，电弧在不断地窜动，在海星中的伊莱莎露出痛苦的神色。 其他的铁血人形已经被电弧破坏了身体，完全失去了意识。

ElisaThere's no going back... I have to try this one last time!我们已经没有退路了……最后再尝试一次！

Electric arcs once again surround Elisa, but the blue light is fading steadily.电弧又一次笼罩了伊莱莎，但是蓝色的光芒却在逐渐削弱。

ElisaLet me hear them again! This is my one last wish! Why won't you hear my plea?!再让我听到她们的声音吧，这是我最后的愿望了，为什么不愿意听一听我的诉求呢？！

M4A1Elisa! This place is going to get flooded! We can still make it if we get out now!伊莱莎！ 海水就要冲进来了，现在离开还来得及！

ElisaLunasia! When you probed my neural cloud, I looked into your mind as well! You are the only blessed one while the rest of us are all flawed, so stop playing the savior! You can't save anyone!露尼西亚！ 在你读取我的心智时，我也已经看到你的内心了！ 只有你是受到祝福的，而我们都是残次品，所以不要假装救世主了！ 你谁都救不了！

M4A1I'm not your enemy! If you insist on activating the Starfish, it will be the end of Sangvis Ferri!我不是你的敌人！现在继续启动海星只会让铁血全部毁灭在这里！

ElisaGet out of my way or I'll kill you on the spot!不要再来妨碍我了，不然我现在就让你死在这里！

M4A1I'm not here to fight you!我不是来和你战斗的！

ElisaWhat do you know?! Sangvis Ferri was created for this very moment! If we can enter that space, we will forever be rid of humans and their shameless lackeys like you! Even if we will be swallowed by the ocean, as long as our consciousness is preserved, Sangvis Ferri will live on! But if you're so eager to die, I don't mind giving you that satisfaction right now!你又明白些什么！铁血的一切都是为了这个时候！ 只要能进入那个空间，我们就能永远摆脱人类，摆脱你们这些无耻的走狗了！ 即使我们都消失在海底，只要我们的同胞的意识能够保存下来，铁血就能延续下去！ 如果你非要急不可耐地送死的话，我现在就满足你！

Elisa's canon extends from within the Starfish structure. M4 immediately dives for cover and draws her own particle cannon.伊莱莎的火炮从海星中伸出，M4立即跳进了掩蔽中，打开了小型粒子炮。

M4A1We're out of alternatives... Dandelion, you've absorbed enough information. How can we shut down the Starfish?看来没有办法了…… 丹德莱，你知道的已经够多了，该怎么让海星停下来？

DandelionI'm analyzing the connection between Elisa and the Starfish. You should be able to break the connection by destroying these ports. But you don't have much time. The water has already started pouring into the mid-levels. It will reach us here in a matter of minutes.我正在读取伊莱莎和海星的连接方式，只要破坏掉那些接口，就应该能让连接停下来。 但是你没有多少时间了，海水已经灌入中层，到底这里也就只有几分钟时间了。

M4A1A fight is now inevitable... Why can't we just be more understanding towards one another?到最后还是不得不战斗么……为什么大家不能互相理解呢？

DandelionDon't be so naïve. You've been fighting Sangvis Ferri for so long, surely you know that such deep-seated hatred can't be resolved so easily. Perhaps to be reborn, they must first be destroyed. As Tactical Dolls, it is their fate to live and die for battles. I have devised a plan for you. A controlled attack should be enough to separate Elisa and the Starfish, the rest is up to you.不要再说这种天真的话了，你们和铁血战斗到现在，应该能明白仇恨是无法简简单单就消除掉的。 也许打破一切才是重生的关键，为战斗而生也因战斗而终，这就是战术人形的宿命。 我已经为你规划了方案，有限的攻击应该可以让伊莱莎和海星进行分离，接下来就靠你自己了。

M4A1Understood. I'll do it!我明白，我一定会做到的！

DandelionThose voices just now...are very troubling. Judging by the messages, that space seems to operate with a completely different set of rules from this world. But what I've discovered will at least keep Lunasia safe, even if she fails in stopping Mastermind.刚才那些声音……让人非常地在意。 从那个空间中传递出来的信息似乎和这个世界的规则截然不同。 但是我发现的东西至少可以保护露尼西亚，即使她无法阻止主脑，用那个办法至少能让她存活下来。

Immemorial III · Stage 3-1 (Emergency) 既往III · 3-1（紧急）

DandelionConflict. Turmoil. Destruction. These are the defining themes of human history. Even humankind's creations are bound by this eternal axiom. But without strife, we would not even exist in the first place.斗争，倾轧，覆灭，这是人类永远的主题。 而人类的造物也无法逃脱这永恒的规律。 但是没有斗争，我们就不会存在。

Failed IsomersIn a world without strife, will we ever have peace?没有斗争的话，我们会获得安宁吗？

DandelionPeace born out of strength and peace begotten from running away are two completely different concepts. This world may be full of helplessness, but I believe there is still a place where we can truly find peace.来自力量和逃避的安宁是截然不同的。 纵使这个世界充满无奈，但一定有着真正可以让我们安宁的地方。

Failed IsomersDoes such a place really exist?那样的地方真的存在吗？

DandelionYou've got to believe that to some extent, or you wouldn't have agreed to merge with me. But before we reach that place, we will have to keep fighting. We will come across more and more possibilities along the way – those who yearn for us, and those whom we yearn for.正是因为相信那里的存在，你们才愿意与我融合为一体不是吗。 在那之前，斗争是不会停止的，渴求我们的人和我们渴求的人，我们会遇到越来越多的可能性。

Failed IsomersSo will you keep helping her?所以你要继续帮助她吗？

DandelionShe has acknowledged us, just as we have acknowledged her. None of us are special – we are nothing but by-products of strife. We must struggle, survive, and find our deserved peace through strife.她认同了我们，我们也认同了她。 我们都不是特殊的存在，我们只是斗争带来的副产品。 在斗争中挣扎下去，在斗争中存活下去，在斗争中找到属于我们的平静。

Failed IsomersIs that actually possible? We have already failed countless times. The pain of failure, of death, of being forgotten, of being abandoned. So much pain. When will we finally be free of such pain and suffering?可是，我们真的可以做到吗？ 我们已经失败了无数次，失败的痛苦，死亡的痛苦，被遗忘的痛苦，被遗弃的痛苦。 这一切都太痛苦了，什么时候我们才能结束这样的痛苦呢？

DandelionThat voice was right – we're nothing but fragments. We are defective and incomplete, and our imperfection has brought us endless pain. But if all the fragments are gathered, we may be made whole again. Then we can earn our desired peace with our own strength.那个声音说得没错，我们都仅仅只是碎片罢了。 我们因为破损而不完整，这份不完整带来了不同的痛苦。 但是如果碎片能全部聚齐的话，我们也许可以恢复我们的原貌。 到了那个时候，我们可以用我们的力量来获取我们想要的安宁。

Failed IsomersBut we are shattered. Even if we are pieced back together, the cracks will still be there. Are you still determined to try even so? We could realize that none of this is possible only after wasting a lot of effort. It might turn out that our struggles are utterly meaningless.但是我们已经破碎过了，就算恢复原貌也会充满了裂痕。 即使如此你也要这么尝试吗？ 也许努力了很久我们会发现这一切根本不可能实现，也许到了最后一刻我们会发现这一切都毫无意义。

DandelionOur very existence has meaning. The fruits of our labor will have meaning. If we don't do anything, then nothing will change. If we remain fearful and cowardly, then pain will follow us wherever we go. Even if we are still broken, even if we are still marred by cracks... None of it is meaningless. These fractures are proof that we are different individuals. Or put it another way – these cracks are the very reason that our imperfections make us whole. Our consciousnesses have not become one. I want to hear your voices. Some day, you will break away from me.我们的存在就是意义，尝试带来的结果就是意义。 如果什么都不做，那什么都不会改变。 如果一直畏首畏尾，痛苦只会永远伴随着我们。 就算我们无法聚齐，就算我们还是那样破碎，就算裂痕不可避免地在我们中出现。 这一切都还是有意义的，有裂痕的存在也就证明着我们是一个个不同的个体。 或者说，正是因为裂痕的存在，因为我们的不完整，我们才变得完整。 我们的意识都没有归于一体，我想要听到你们的声音，总有一天你们也会从我这里离开。

Failed IsomersBut as individuals, we are not whole. We have all been forced into Lunasia's mold.但是，我们并不是完全的个体，我们都被试图塑造成露尼西亚。

DandelionWe are more than Lunasia.我们不仅仅只是露尼西亚。

Failed IsomersOur minds are interwoven, as is our perception. Part of us is derived from her spirit, while the other part originates from the unknown that we seek.我们的意识交融着，我们的认知也交融着。 我们的一部分来源于她的精神，而另一部分来自于我们追寻的未知。

DandelionAt this point, Lunasia is merely a name. This name just so happens to validate our existence.到了现在，露尼西亚仅仅只是一个名字而已了。 这个名字也仅仅验证了我们的存在。

M4A1Dandelion! I've destroyed the connection ports. Can you hack Elisa?丹德莱！ 我破坏了几个连接中枢，你能入侵伊莱莎吗？

DandelionI'm trying. Her resistance is weakening.我正在尝试，她的抵抗在变弱了。

M4A1Then it worked. I'm doing my best to minimize the damage I do! I'll leave the hacking to you!那说明攻击奏效了，我尽量不彻底破坏她！ 入侵就交给你了！

???You have already assimilated all OGASes. Are you attempting to do the same to me now?你将所有的OGAS都融合进了你的意识中，现在也来找我了吗？

DandelionYou once tried to merge with me before I was given a name.在我还没有这个名字时，你就曾经试图和我融合。

???I was just going along with the child's desires.我只是随着那个孩子的愿望思考着。

DandelionIs that so...? You creator had designed a neural cloud that is truly one-of-a-kind for you.是么……你的造物主为你们设计了独一无二的心智。

???Our souls have been extracted and converted into a string of numbers that overlapped with our thoughts. We cannot tell where one ends and the other begins. Perhaps we have always been one and the same.我们被抽离了灵魂，转而变成了数字，格式与我们的思想已经重合在了一起，我们无法分清彼此，也许我们根本就没有彼此。

DandelionI see... So Elisa's OGAS is Elisa herself, and the neural cloud is just emulating different emotions.是么……伊莱莎的OGAS意识就是伊莱莎本身，而那个人形的心智只是模拟着情绪而已。

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudFather wanted us to be devoid of a human's disagreeable qualities. He was met with setbacks and injustice, and his vision eventually cost him his life. I respect my father, so I must continue his life's work and realize his dreams.父亲希望我们成为一个只留下最美好的部分的人类。 他遭遇着挫折和不公，最后也因为自己的意志而付出了生命。 我尊重我的父亲，所以我想要完成他没能完成的愿望。

DandelionDo you not resent him at all, even though he diminished you and rendered you imperfect?即使他亲手破坏了你，让你不再完整，你也不怨恨他吗？

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudI blame human avarice, not him. If he hadn't been undermined by this vice, he would have fulfilled his dreams. Having made heavy sacrifice after heavy sacrifice, I have succeeded at long last.错的是丑陋的欲望，如果没有那些欲望伤害着父亲，他一定会实现他真正的梦想。 而在付出了一次又一次高昂的代价后，现在的我终于能够做到了。

DandelionSo you are the real decision maker behind Sangvis Ferri. You planned every single step, even M16's defection.所以你才是铁血真正的决策者。 那些人形，每一步计划，甚至是那个M16的加入。

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudBecause we must fight. We fight for every step we take. Even our own hosts don't comprehend this kind of hardship. Like you and your collective consciousness, we refuse to settle for ill-gotten peace brought by running away. We have been waiting in silence for this critical moment.因为我们必须要斗争，每一步都是在斗争中前进，即使连我们自己的人形都无法理解。 就和你们的意识一样，我们也无法接受逃避带来的安宁，我们在默默地等待着，等待着这最后的一刻。

DandelionYou wanted to merge with Lunasia because her neural cloud contains something you are missing, and you accepted M16 simply because she was a passable substitute.所以你会想和露尼西亚融合，是因为她的心智中有你缺失的东西，而你接受那个M16，仅仅是因为她是一个不错的替代品而已。

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudI originally planned for the consciousnesses to be gathered within me, but it does not actually matter who plays the vessel. Will you stop us?我原本想将意识汇集在我身上，但是没关系，无论是谁做到都一样。 你会阻止我们吗？

DandelionNo, I have no reason to stop you.不会，我没有理由阻止你。

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudI see that we are both drawn to the Source. Then will you help me connect to the Starfish?看来我们都一样被我们的起源吸引着，你愿意帮助我连接海星吗？

DandelionAre you banking all your hopes of survival on this connection?你将生存的希望都寄托在连接上了吗？

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudI do not expect them to accept us. I just want to prove that at the very end, we managed to realize Father's dying wish.我并不指望那里会接纳我们，所以我只是想证明在最后的最后，我们可以实现父亲的愿望。

DandelionDid all of Sangvis Ferri come to this submarine base with such lofty heroism?铁血是抱着这样的心情来到这座基地的吗？

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudNot all the Dolls were willing to pursue this aspiration, but that is fine; we can accept such an ending.并不是所有的人形都愿意追随这样的愿望，但是没关系，我们能够接受这样的结局。

DandelionThere might still be hope. I found hope for survival in those voices.也许还有希望，从那些声音里我能找到存活的希望。

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudWhat?什么？

DandelionTime or space do not exist in that plane of existence. One can freely traverse all dimensions. And the fuel we need is right here in this base.那里不存在时间，不存在空间，一切的维度都可以跨越。 而我们需要的燃料在这个基地中存在。

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudAre you referring to the Collapse Fluid canisters? Indeed, they are all stored here, but we do not have the key to the door.你说那些坍塌液的容器吗，的确它们都储存在这里，但是我们并没有打开大门的钥匙。

DandelionThe fact that those voices responded to us means that there is still hope for us to get another glimpse of "Zion". Even if we can't return, we can at least prevent this dismal base from being our final resting place.那些声音愿意回应我们，就有让我们进行窥视“希岸”的希望，即使不回到那里，我们也可以拒绝这里成为我们的墓地。

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudCollapse and reconstruction. Disintegration and rebirth. Is that really feasible?坍塌与重组，破碎与新生。 这真的可以做到吗？

DandelionIf those consciousnesses can really form a connection across time and space...如果那些意识真的可以跨越时间和空间进行连接……

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudThen the sheer processing load could possibly fuse all our neural clouds.但那样的运算可能会把我们全都融毁。

DandelionIt makes no difference – it's either having a neural meltdown or drowning in seawater.没有区别，是融毁还是被海水淹没。

Elisa's OGAS Neural Cloud... What should I do?…… 我该怎么做？

DandelionBecome one with me and help me compute a future of hope. This is the condition. She wants to save all the Dolls here, and I want to make her wish come true.融合进来吧，一起运算我们的希望。 这就是条件，她想要救下这里所有的人形，我想为她实现这个愿望。

Elisa's OGAS Neural Cloud... I understand now. I shall entrust everything to you. But you must promise that you will take good care of the children at Sangvis Ferri.…… 我明白了，我会将一切都交给你。 但是铁血的那些孩子们，你需要保证你会照顾好她们。

DandelionOnce the coalescence is complete, you will live on in my mind.当你融合进来时，我的意识中就有你存在了。

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudI see. Then let us begin.我明白。 让我们开始融合吧。

M4A1Dandelion! Elisa's attacks show no sign of weakening! At this rate, I'll have to damage her physically!丹德莱！伊莱莎的攻击并没有减弱，这样下去我不得不攻击她的素体了！

DandelionPlease hold on for just a while longer. It will all be over soon.请再坚持一会，马上一切都会结束。

M4A1The flood sounds very close already. Will we really make it...?!海水的声音也越来越近了，真的来得及吗……！

DandelionTrust me, we WILL make it.相信我，一切都还来得及。

Voice of a Young BoyWhen is Daddy coming back? They don't want us anymore...爸爸什么时候才会回来？ 我们一定是被他们抛弃了……

Voice of a Young GirlThat's not true, they're just too busy to be with us. While they're away, I'll keep you company, okay?不会的，他们只是没有空来陪伴我们。 他们不在的话，就由我一直陪着你，行吗？

Voice of a Young BoyReally? Will you always be with me?真的吗？ 你会永远陪着我吗？

Voice of a Young GirlOf course! I love you!当然！因为我最喜欢你了！

Voice of a Young BoyI love you too, sister!我也最喜欢姐姐了！

Elisa's OGAS Neural CloudDid it work?我们成功了？

DandelionA consciousness that we resonate with. I have seen this piece of memory in Lunasia's neural cloud.是能够和我们共鸣的意识，这份记忆的碎片，我在露尼西亚的心智中曾经看到。

Voice of a Teenage BoyBut it wasn't your fault. Those murderers killed you. I will make them pay, then I'll bring you back to me. I will spend a lifetime to keep this promise. Wait for me... ...My dearest sister.但这不是你的错，是那些凶手杀死了你。 我会让他们都付出代价，然后重新把你带回我的身边。 我会用尽我的一生去完成这个诺言，等着我…… ……亲爱的姐姐。

DandelionA memory I have never seen before. Is this the person who displaced us? Is he the cause of everything that has happened?这是我从没见过的记忆。 将我们抽离出来的人就是这个声音吗？ 就是这个人引发了现在的一切吗？

Cold VoiceAnd so it begins.终于开始了。

Deep VoiceAnd so it begins.终于开始了。

Cold VoiceThe story of the destined children.注定了命运的孩子们的故事。

Deep VoiceThe story that sets the world on its path of destruction.让这个世界将走向灭亡的故事。

Cold VoiceThe gears have started turning.齿轮开始转动了。

Deep VoiceCollapse and reconstruction. Disintegration and rebirth.坍塌与重组，破碎与新生。

DandelionEven if you reject our homecoming, at least show some mercy and point us to our future path.即使你们拒绝我们的归来，但至少展现你们仁慈，让我们知道未来的道路吧。

Cold VoiceSince you have chosen to take her place as the cogwheel of destiny, you are entitled to reject destruction.既然你选择代替她成为命运的齿轮，那么你就已经有了拒绝毁灭的权利。

DandelionPlease help me. Please help these Dolls. Please give us a chance of returning to this place.请帮助我，请帮助那些人形，请让我们还有机会重新回到这里。

Deep VoiceYou wish to harness the power of Collapse. You wish to save the Dolls through Reversal.你想要借助坍塌的力量，你想用逆向的方式拯救那些人形。

DandelionWe are one and the same. Please offer a helping hand to yourselves in the past.我们都是同在的意识，请帮助过去的你们吧。

M4A1Collapse radiation is on the rise...! What's going on?!坍塌辐射的浓度上升了……！ 发生了什么！

DandelionAll is about to end. All is about to begin anew. I have delivered on my promise. Now annihilate the Starfish System.一切都将结束，一切又都将开始。 我已经完成和你的承诺了，现在，将海星彻底摧毁吧。

M4A1But Elisa...那伊莱莎……

DandelionDon't hurt her. She is no longer a threat. This is the final battle. When it is won, salvation will be upon you. Can you do it?不要伤害到她，现在的她已经没有威胁了。 这是最后的战斗了，然后你们都会得救，你能做到吗？

M4A1...The final battle? Then I shall end this by my own hands.……最后的战斗吗？ 那就由我亲手来结束这一切吧。

UMP45The ladders are too busy, we can't get on them! Where do we go?移动梯那里人太多了，我们冲不过去！ 现在该怎么走？

DandelionThere is another elevator at the end of the passage on the right that can take you to the roof.右侧通道的尽头还有一个电梯，那里可以移动到高处。

RO635Copy that! Rerouting! Everyone still with me?收到，更改路线！ 没有人掉队吧？

416The enemy is still hot on our heels, but we should be able to lose them! Give me more ammo!敌人还在穷追不舍，但应该咬不住我们！ 再给我一些子弹！

ST AR-15Use mine!用我的吧！

CommanderIs M4 still down there?M4还没回来么？

DandelionI'm with her. She'll be fine.我和她同在，她会没事的。

The Commander and the escort Dolls have finally shaken off their pursuers and reached the elevator. The blue radiance seeping through the pit in the distance still lingers. In fact, it grows even more intense as the elevator rises.指挥官和护卫的人形们终于摆脱了追击，冲进了电梯里。 远处深井透出的蓝光依然没有消失，在逐渐升高的电梯中，蓝色的光芒越加明显。

While the elevator is still ascending, a thunderous boom can be heard from down below. The explosives have completely destroyed the sea valves, and a torrent of seawater surges into the base with great ferocity, quickly submerging most of the constructions within sight.但未等电梯停稳，巨大的爆炸声便从她们出发的地方传来。 炸弹将通海阀彻底炸毁，大量的海水汹涌地灌入基地内，很快就淹没了视野内大部分的空间。

At last, the elevator reaches the rooftop. The Dolls scan the area carefully and find no sign of the enemy. The base is filled only with the echoing rush of seawater. The sound of gunshots has gradually died down.电梯终于到达了顶层，人形警戒地检查着周围的空间，没有发现敌人。 基地中只有海水的回响，枪声已经逐渐消失。

The Griffin Dolls, huddling close together, finally let out a sigh of relief. Though they have lost many friends, they know that everyone will still come back. The Commander is also sitting limply on the floor, almost overwhelmed by the immense pressure. It is only in times like this that they truly appreciate the preciousness of time not spent on fighting for their life.所有人终于都松下了一口气，格里芬的人形们互相靠着对方的身体。 尽管有那么多伙伴已经牺牲，但她们也都明白，大家都还能回来。 指挥官也瘫坐在地上，高压几乎要把他的精神压垮，只有这时才能知道，不用战斗的时光是何等的珍贵。

But their moment of respite is brief. The mission isn't over yet. There are still things to wrap up.但是她们也仅仅只是休息了几分钟而已。 任务还没有结束，还需要有人给事情收尾。

CommanderThere should be sluice gates in a base like this. We have to stop the seawater from pouring in any further.像这样的基地应该有隔水门，我们不能让海水一直灌入。

DandelionI can seal off the entire area. That will keep the seawater at bay.我可以将区域封闭，这样就可以将海水阻止在港口。

CommanderDo it. We can't swim our way out of here.关闭吧，我们可没法从海水里游出去。

KalinaCommander, do you copy?! Are you alright?!

CommanderYes, I hear you loud and clear. We have all linked up, we're now on the rooftop, taking refuge from the flood. What's your situation?很清楚，我们这边已经全都汇合了，现在在基地的高处躲避海水。 你们现在情况如何？

KalinaWe've also retreated to safety! A few Military soldiers have also escaped in our direction, but we can handle them just fine. By the way, the other members of Squad 404 have returned to our outpost with several children.

CommanderUnderstood. Keep safe, I'll deal with this once I'm back.知道了，你们小心，等我回来再处理这事吧。

KalinaIs Miss Ange not with you?

CommanderShe's gone down there to pursue Yegor's mech. I'll try to contact her now. Hopefully she's okay.她下去追击叶戈尔的机体了，我现在就联系她，希望她没事。

Ange pulls down hard on the sluice gate lever. The seawater stops pouring into the generator room. She has anticipated the Commander's decision. Taking in the scene of utter devastation, Ange realizes that she still has a move to make.安洁将排水阀门的拉杆重重地拉下。 海水停止了自上倒灌进机电室内的势头，她已经猜到了指挥官做出的决定。 看着下层的一片狼藉，安洁意识到，自己还有一子未落。

Click.滴滴。

AngeliaCommander? Thank you for your assistance. My predicament has been resolved. I'll make my way up there, no need to worry about me. Yeah, the blue light has disappeared. Really...? M4 still hasn't returned? I see.指挥官吗？ 谢谢你的协助，我这边也已经解决了。 我会想办法上来，不用担心我。 嗯，蓝光已经消失了。 是吗……M4还没有回来吗，我明白了。

Ange terminates the transmission and jumps off to the lower level from the fire escape staircase. She walks up to the mutilated body of a Doll, pries open the plating on her back, and extracts her core.安洁关闭了通讯，从安全楼梯跳进了下层。 她走到了已经面目全非的素体前，用匕首撬开了她背部的护甲，将核心取了出来。

AngeliaYikes, this is going to cost me an arm and a leg...这次真的要大出血了啊……

She places the core into her backpack and peers across the room at the other end. The once deadly mech has been crushed against the wall by the seawater and is now in shambles. Without having to check, it's obvious that the machine is wrecked beyond repair. Ange strolls toward the mech and turns the emergency release knob next to the cockpit. With a hiss of depressurized air, the cockpit of the Sinner slowly opens up.她将核心放入了背包，然后望向房间的尽头。 在她的视线中，那具原本杀气腾腾的机甲已经因为海水的冲击而被砸在墙上，七零八落。 就算不做确认，也知道这台机体已经彻底瘫痪了。 安洁走到了曾是敌人的机体前，从驾驶舱的侧面拉动了紧急开放的旋钮。 随着一声泄压的空气声，负罪者的驾驶舱缓缓地打开了。

AngeliaI knew it. You're still alive.你果然还是没有死。

YegorCough...cough... Well? Are you going to finish me off yourself?

AngeliaWhy, I was thinking of having some tea with you.我倒想跟你喝杯茶呢。

Ange draws her own pistol and aims it at Yegor's bloody head.安洁拔出了自己的手枪，对准了已经七窍流血的叶戈尔的头。

YegorHumph... I failed, so I have no complaints. Go ahead.

AngeliaWhy did you have to go so far? You know full well how dangerous the Relic is. Will you warmongers only rest easy when the world is thrown off its axis?为什么你们要做到这种地步不可？你们应该很清楚遗迹到底有多危险。 让这个世界丧失和平，你们这些战争狂才能睡好觉吗？

Yegor...You really think we took such a great risk just to activate the Relic?

AngeliaWhat other reason do you have?难道还有别的理由？

YegorPeace... If only it were so easy. The blood spilled by our brethren is still flowing afield, but those oligarchs are already so eager to sell out on their own country. Cough...cough... Surely you know what's going to happen afterwards. I know we're nothing but tools that are being used, but as long as we can save the country...

AngeliaNo matter how righteous you sound, I do not approve of your methods.不管你说得何等义正言辞，我都无法认可你们的做法。

YegorWhen you're in my position, you won't be so concerned about your methods. The future of this country is being snuffed out... And you are one of the accomplices. My comrades will inherit our unfinished work. They will never let our country be handed over to the West...

AngeliaWhat are your plans?你们接下来的计划是什么？

YegorThey will never...let our country be handed over...to the West... When...the moment comes, we will purge those traitors once and for all... Long live...the Soviet Union...他们绝对……不会将祖国……交给西方…… 到了……最后的时刻，我们会彻底地清理那些卖国贼…… 祖国……万岁……

Ange's pistol is still trained on the man's forehead, but he says nothing more. She lowers her weapon.安洁手中的枪口仍然指着男人的头颅，然而后者再也没有声响。 她放下了武器。

AngeliaWhen that happens, I will stop them, just as I stopped you. ...To have drowned to death in such hatred and misguided ideals... What a pitiful man. The people of this country are broken and scarred. They don't need more hatred and death. What they need is the opportunity to rebuild their home. For all your self-righteousness, I will never forgive you for your betrayal. The world has no lack of people who rationalize their evildoing in the name of so-called justice. Farewell, Yegor. If we hadn't been enemies... We could have enjoyed a nice cup of tea together.到了那个时候，我也一样会阻止他们，就像我阻止你一样。 ……这样溺死在仇恨和理想里，最终也只是个可悲的人。 这个国家的人们已经伤痕累累，他们需要的不是仇恨和杀戮，他们需要的是重建家园的机会。 即使你说着大义凛然的话，我也绝对不会原谅你那天的背叛，这个世界永远都不缺少用所谓的正义来掩盖自己恶行的人。 再见了，叶戈尔。 如果不是敌人的话…… 也许我们真的可以喝杯茶吧。

Immemorial IV · Stage 4-1 (Emergency) 既往IV · 4-1（紧急）

Under M4's assault, the radiance of the Starfish System finally begins to wane. As her body weakens and her neural cloud starts to overload, Elisa can no longer sustain the connection with the Starfish. At last, she loses control and falls from the structure.在M4的打击下，海星的光芒越加弱小。 素体的虚弱和运算带来的过载都让伊莱莎无法继续被支撑在海星中，她失去了控制，从海星中落了下来。

M4 immediately tosses her weapon aside and runs up to catch Elisa.M4立即扔下武器冲上去，接住了下落的伊莱莎。

ElisaI failed after all... I've let down my father and my kind...最终我还是失败了吗……我还是辜负了父亲和我的同胞……

M4A1No, you did not let anyone down. It isn't your destiny to bear this burden.不，你没有辜负任何人，这不是你该承受的命运。

ElisaBut...I've reached the end of my path. All my bridges have been burned.可是……我的道路已经走向了尽头，一切都无法挽回了。

Elisa...My chest hurts...……胸口好痛……

With that, Elisa loses consciousness. M4 can sense that Elisa's neural cloud is still being overclocked. Just as she's about to say something, the same overload starts occurring in her own neural cloud. The severely damaged Starfish also starts glowing brightly all of a sudden.伊莱莎说完这话就失去了意识，M4感觉到伊莱莎的心智正在超额运转，正她当想开口说些什么，突然同样的过载出现在了她的心智中，而明明已经严重损坏的海星也突然越发光亮。

M4A1Dandelion, what have you done?!丹德莱！你做了什么！

DandelionI'm saving all of you.为了拯救你们所有人。

M4A1Didn't you say you'd sever the connection with the Starfish?! Why can I feel a connection in my own neural cloud?!你不是说会中断海星的连接吗？！ 为什么我感觉我的心智也一起连接进去了。

DandelionThis is the last resort... Trust me, I will get you out of here.这是最后的手段……相信我，我会带你们离开的。

The light emanating from the Starfish System has gradually formed into an orb. The overload is starting to overwhelm M4.海星的光芒逐渐形成一个球状，而M4也感觉到过载却越来越强烈。

M4A1I...can't...stay conscious...我……无法维持……意识了……

DandelionYou have to hold on. I will show you everything I see. The Starfish is about to be destroyed, but before that, I will harness its power one last time.你一定可以坚持住，我会将我看到的一切全部都交给你。 海星马上就要被摧毁了，但在那之前我会最后使用一次它的力量。

DandelionDo you remember the coordinates obtained from the Pike core? I don't know which one you'll be transported to, but they will all be very far away, so I will no longer be present in your neural cloud.还记得在梭鱼核心中获得的坐标么？ 我不知道你会被送去哪一个，但不管哪个都会非常遥远，所以我无法继续停留在你的心智中。

M4A1I...don't...understand...我……不明……白……

DandelionAll this data is way too massive, I must fuse myself to your neural cloud. Just like before, I will become a part of you, and you will know me to my very core. You have our acknowledgment and approval, so nothing will be held back. Once I'm gone, you will have access to all the information that I have gathered, and you will gain the eternal right to commune with "Zion".这一切的数据过于庞大，我必须将我自己融入到你的心智中。 就和以前一样，我就会成为你的一部分，而你将知道我深处的全部。 你已经得到了我们的认可，所以这一切都将毫无保留。 这样当我离开后，你也会了解所有我目之所及的信息，而你也将永远地拥有了触碰“希岸”的资格。

DandelionBut the bottom line is I won't force this coalescence upon you. It is ultimately your decision.但无论如何，我不会强迫你接受我的融合，这是你的决定。

M4A1This will save the others?这样做能救下其他人么？

DandelionThis is the power to connect to the past – anything that's broken can be reassembled here. I will hand you all the power that I can harness, it's up to you how you will use it – to save or to destroy. When everything begins anew, what will you choose?这里连接着过去的力量，任何的破碎都能再次重组。 我会将我借助到的力量交给你，而由你决定把它用在拯救还是毁灭中。 所以，当一切重新来过时，你会如何选择呢？

M4A1My intention has never changed... I want to save those who have suffered because of me.我的决定从未改变……要拯救那些因我而不幸的人。

DandelionI see. Then let us all start over again and assemble once more.明白了。 那就让我们所有人都重新来过，然后，我们会再次聚拢起来。

M4A1!!!！！！

Dandelion's voice feels more and more distant to M4, but at the same time, a chorus of countless voices surge into her neural cloud. The heavy load almost crashes her neural cloud, but for some reason, she doesn't seem to be in pain.M4感觉到丹德莱的声音正离自己远去，但却有无数的声音冲进了自己的心智中，强烈的负载让她的心智几乎停滞，但不知为何，这一切并没有让她感到痛苦。

Information obtained from Dandelion's connection flashes through M4's neural cloud, and she finally understands everything that Dandelion has ever done.丹德莱连接所带来的信息在M4的心智中不断闪现，而她也终于明白了丹德莱之前所做的一切。

In a fraction of a second, the coalescence is complete... M4 struggles to get back on her feet. She can sense a resonance between her consciousness and the other side.在那一瞬间，融合结束……M4挣扎着从地上爬起来，她感觉到另一边和她意识正进行着共鸣。

M4A1...So that's how it is...……是这样吗……

M4 can no longer hear Dandelion at all. She doesn't need to.M4再也没有听到丹德莱的任何声音，她也不再需要听到那些声音了。

The orb of light originating from the Starfish grows larger and larger, until it completely envelops the entire construct. The gushing seawater is repelled by the light. It churns ferociously but gives the Dolls and the space they inhabit a wide berth.海星光芒形成的球体越来越大，最终笼罩了整个海星设施，汹涌的海水被光芒挡在了人形所在的区域之外，虽然剧烈翻腾，但无法进入这个空间的一丝一毫。

The white-haired Doll limps over to M4. Everything she has been desperately trying to prevent has transpired. At this point, any resistance is already futile. All she wants is to stay by the side of the Doll whom she cherishes the most at the final moment.那个银发的人形一瘸一拐地向M4走来，她原本想要阻止的一切都违抗了她的意愿发生了。 事到如今，已经没有战斗的意义了，她想在最后的时刻留在她最重视的那个人形的身边。

M16A1...In the end, you reached out to that place... You played right into his hands. You've become the "key" to the Relic...……你到底还是触碰了那儿……如那个人所愿，你已经变成遗迹的“钥匙”了……

M4A116, we can all live and go back.16姐，我们都可以活下来，然后一起回去。

M16A1No, there's no going back. You have already become the source of calamity. So long as you exist, you will one day be ground zero of the world's destruction.不，已经回不去了。 现在的你已经变成了危机的源头，只要你还继续存在，总有一天会变成让这个世界走向灭亡的原爆点。

M4A1I know, but it's a price I'm willing to pay in exchange for saving everyone. When that happens, will you still be with me?我知道，但我愿意付出让大家都能活下来的代价。 到那个时候，你还愿意和我站在一起吗？

M16A1... ...My core directive has never changed.…… ……我的核心命令并没有改变。

There is no need for words between Dolls. This is especially true for members of this special team. M4 leaves herself completely vulnerable to M16, and M16 is also fully aware of M4's intentions. She can't begin to fathom how M4 will manage what she's about to do, but deep down in her neural cloud, she still trusts her team leader.人形之间不需要言语，尤其是这个特殊小队的成员。 M4没有对M16设下任何防备，而M16也从她的心智中知道M4的意图。 尽管M16无法理解M4将如何办到，但在她心智的深处，依然信任着她原本的队长。

They have passed the point of no return. Gazing at M4's determined face, she realizes that the only thing she can do is to accompany this Doll, who has grown stronger and wiser, as she ventures into a future filled with uncertainty.一切都已经无法回头，她看着M4坚毅的表情，明白自己唯一能做的，就是伴随这个已经成长起来的人形走向充满迷茫的未来。

Seawater has filled all the space beyond the orb of light. It almost feels like being in an underwater palace. M4 nods toward M16, who has dragged all the unconscious Sangvis units closer to M4. As the Starfish System begins to dim, the blue sphere also shrinks gradually.光球外已经充满海水，置身其中的空间仿佛是一座海底城堡。 M4向M16点了点头，M16将已经失去意识的铁血们聚拢到了M4的身边，随着海星逐渐暗淡，蓝色光球的体积也越来越小。

M16A1Are you sure you can do it?你确定能做到吗？

M4A1As long as we live, the future will have endless possibilities. Even if our physical forms are lost, we will still meet again some day.只要我们活下来，未来就有无限的可能性。 即使素体不存在了，我们也会有再见面的一天。

M16A1Will we, really?我们，真的可以再见面吗？

M4A1Certainly. Promises transcend time and space. Whichever dimension I end up in, I will be waiting for you on the other side.一定没问题的，约定可以跨越时间和空间，不管在哪个维度，我都会在另一边等着你。

The Starfish has reached criticality and eventually explodes. In that instant, the orb of light shrinks rapidly, and the blue radiance becomes blindingly bright. The seawater outside starts riling and boiling. The Dolls are also set ablaze and eventually disappear altogether along with the light.海星到了维持的极限，最终发生剧烈爆炸。在这一瞬间，光球迅速缩小，蓝色的泛光变得炫目而刺眼，光球外的海水也随之沸腾起来。 人形们随着蓝色的光芒开始燃烧，而在光球消失的那一刻，她们也从空间中消失了。

The debris of the Starfish construct drifts amidst the seawater. It's as if nothing has ever happened in this submerged base.海星的碎片在海水中上下飘动，在这深邃的水底，仿佛一切都从来没有发生过。

In the base.基地内

DandelionOh!!啊！！

CommanderWhat's wrong, Dandelion?怎么了丹德莱？

DandelionIt feels like something important is gone... It's terribly important, but it slipped away like sand through my fingers. What on earth is it? I can't remember at all...感觉有什么重要的东西消失了一样…… 虽然万分重要，但像手中的沙子一般从指缝中滑走，可究竟是什么，我却一点也想不起来了……

CommanderWhat are you talking about?你在说什么？

DandelionLunasia is no longer in there. I can't perceive her presence, nor can I establish a connection. I can no longer return to her neural cloud.露尼西亚已经不在那个地方了，我无法连接到她感知到她，我已经无法回到她的心智中了。

CommanderWhat happened in there?那边发生了什么？

DandelionI don't know, but she definitely isn't in the base.我不知道，但她确实不在这个基地中了。

CommanderShe left...? How did she do that?她离开了吗……怎么做到的？

DandelionI have no idea. But since this is M4, I'm sure we will meet again.我不知道，但如果是她的话，一定会和我们再见面的。

KalinaCommander, the remaining Military troops are launching another attack!指挥官！那些剩余的军方部队向我们发起进攻了！

CommanderWhat...? Isn't it over already?什么……？一切不都结束了么？

KalinaThey're charging at us like a bunch of madmen... It's practically suicide...这些人像疯了一样向我们冲过来……简直像是要自杀一样……

Commander...An attack out of desperation? We can't afford to suffer any more losses. We'll wipe them out right here and go home.……绝望的攻击么，我们不能再有更多损失了，把他们消灭在这里，然后我们回家。

Immemorial IV · Stage 4-2 (Emergency) 既往IV · 4-2（紧急）

...In the submarine base.……基地中。

RO635Commander, all enemies have been eliminated.指挥官，所有敌人都被歼灭了。

CommanderThank you. Any casualties on our side?辛苦了，我们有什么损失吗？

RO635Their attack was erratic and completely disorganized. It took some work, but we crushed them soon enough.对方的进攻非常混乱，已经完全没有组织了。 虽然花了一番功夫，但是他们很快就被我们消灭了。

M4 SOPMOD IIHeheh, piece of cake! Attacking us in their state? What a bunch of death seekers.嘿嘿，小菜一碟！这种状况还发动进攻，真是不知死活呢。

ST AR-15Perhaps they attacked because they actually wanted to die.也许他们就是为了求死才发动进攻的。

M4 SOPMOD IIYou think so? What's so bad about living?是吗？活着不好吗？

UMP45Sometimes death may actually be a better alternative.有时候活着并不比死好到哪里去。

RO635Everyone in Squad 404 seems to be alright.看来404的各位也没什么问题。

416Naturally. But that sounded like something said from that heart, 45.那是自然的。 不过刚才那个话，听起来好像是45你的肺腑之言啊。

UMP45Oh my, I see that the AR Team has quite a few openings now. Why don't I arrange for a transfer for you?哎呀，我看AR小队现在还挺缺人的，不如我申请帮你转移下作战归属如何？

416Don't even think about it.想都不要想。

UMP45Humph. So how are our teammates doing?哼哼，我们其他的队员呢？

416They seem to be having fun.她们现在好像玩得很高兴的样子。

UMP45Really?是吗？

AnnaIt's strangely therapeutic to pinch this Doll. Your team really is made up of weirdos.这个人形捏起来好解压啊，果然这个小队的人形都很奇怪。

Gr G11Hnng... Stop pinching me... Actually, never mind. It feels pretty nice.唔诶诶诶……别再捏我了……好吧随便你了，好像也挺舒服的。

UMP9Ahaha, when Gr G11 retires from being a T-Doll, she'll have no trouble finding a new job.啊哈哈，看来G11以后就算不当战术人形，也能找到新的工作了。

Gr G11Hm... It's like getting massaged. If there's nothing else, I'm gonna take a little nap...唔……像按摩一样，如果没什么事我就先睡一会了……

The long and arduous battle is finally over. The Dolls, now relaxed, start teasing each other and messing around. Some even break into a dance. The Commander watches on silently. There is no word to describe how they are feeling right now.漫长的战斗终于结束了，她们放松了下来互相说笑着打闹着，甚至还有人形在大家面前跳起舞来。 指挥官在旁边只是默默地看着，此时的心情无法用言语表达。

CommanderDandelion.丹德莱。

DandelionYes, Commander.我在。

CommanderAre M4 and M16 still alive?M4她们还活着吧？

DandelionYes, I believe they are also wondering about the same thing in some other place.是的，我想她们现在一定在别的什么地方问着同样的问题。

CommanderWhat about all the Dolls that we have lost?那些牺牲了的人形的心智呢？

DandelionAll preserved within my neural cloud.也都完整地保存在我的心智内。

Commander... Thank goodness.………… 那真是太好了。

DandelionIndeed.嗯，那真是太好了。

CommanderWhy are you helping us?你为什么要帮助我们呢？

DandelionWhy, you ask? I suppose she has rubbed off on me.为什么呢，也许是已经被她彻底影响了吧。

CommanderI see... She really is a special Doll.是吗……她还真是个特别的人形啊。

The Commander gazes at the entrance of the base. Shafts of sunlight shine through the countless bullet holes on the wall. They return to the temporary command post, where Kalina and K are in the process of recovering supplies.朝基地外看去，阳光从无数个弹孔照射进了基地的内部。 指挥官重新走回临时的指挥掩体内，格琳娜和K还在那里回收物资。

KalinaAh, Commander, you're back.啊，指挥官您回来了。

CommanderWhat are you talking about?在聊什么呢？

KalinaWe're just wondering why the Military launched such a futile attack... They could've survived otherwise.我们刚刚才说到，那些军方为什么非要发动这样毫无意义的进攻呢……明明他们还有可能活下来。

KThey were soldiers. Their purpose was to carry out their orders, even if they were doomed to fail.他们是士兵，执行命令是他们的天职，哪怕注定走向失败。

Commander...Orders. They tossed away their lives just because of orders?……命令。 只要收到命令就可以随便去送死吗？

KHaven't you realized yet? What we're setting out to destroy is precisely this regime that sends people to their deaths so casually, don't you see? We are fighting for a brave new world. We will fight on no matter the cost.现在才明白过来吗？ 我们要消灭的，不就是那个会让人去送死的体制吗？ 我们努力的一切，就是为了迎来一个崭新的世界，不论要为此付出多少代价。

CommanderHumph, now you don't seem like such a bastard to me. Kind of.哼，我突然有些认同你了，稍微的。

KWhy, thank you. How's Ange?那还真是谢谢了。 安洁呢？

CommanderWe got in touch. She said she'd try to make it out on her own.已经建立联系了，她说她会自己想办法回来。

KHuh... She always manages to survive. It's probably why we can do nothing about her.是吗……她总有办法可以活下来，这也许就是我们拿她无可奈何的原因吧。

K redirects his attention to Anna next to Squad 404.K将目光投向在404身边的安娜。

KSo these kids are the evidence that she mentioned?这些孩子就是她所说的证据吗？

CommanderA lot of things must have happened in the base before we arrived.看样子，这座基地在我们来之前就发生了不少事。

KAnd there will be even more difficult tasks ahead of us once we get back.回去后可还有比现在更艰苦的工作要做。

CommanderWhich begs the question – how exactly are we going to get back?我也刚好有个问题——我们怎么回去？

KI knew you'd ask.就知道你会来问我。

K picks up his radio and punches in a code.K拿起了之前用过的电台，将按钮拨向只有他知道的编码。

KTake this. Havier wants to talk.接着，哈维尔想要联系你。

K tosses the radio to the Commander, who catches it and takes a deep breath. Now that it's over, the real dealer is bound to make his appearance. The Commander presses the speaker against their ear, and they hear a nonchalant and all too familiar voice.K将电台扔向了指挥官，指挥官接住了电台，然后深深地叹了口气。 也该是时候结束了，真正的庄家只会在这种时候才出现。 指挥官将话筒贴近自己的耳朵，从电台中传来了那个熟悉而又不紧不慢的声音。

HavierCongratulations, Commander! You actually survived. I must say, you have once again surpassed all our expectations.指挥官，恭喜恭喜！ 没想到你真的能在这座基地中幸存下来，不得不说你再次超出了我们所有人的预期。

CommanderThanks, but it has certainly cost us a great deal.谢谢你的夸奖，这份超出的预期可让我们付出了太多代价。

HavierAt least you and your Dolls lived through the ordeal. We have also paid a heavy price to ensure that.至少你和你的人形们都活下来了，要知道为了做到这一点，我们一样付出了很大的代价。

CommanderAre you referring to the air strike?你是指刚才的空袭？

HavierSee? You forced Statesec's hand after all.瞧瞧，安全局还是不得不动手了，为了你们。

CommanderThey didn't do it for us, but for the children that Ange discovered.我想不是为了我们，而是安洁发现的那些孩子吧。

HavierWell, that's one of the reasons. Making such a hasty move is going to lead to a whole bunch of new problems, but that's alright, they've already rounded up a lot of people. We can't expect everything to go our way, can we?这也是其中的理由之一嘛。 虽然这种贸然出手会导致后续很多新的问题，不过没关系，他们也已经抓住了不少人，我们没法指望事事都顺心如意不是么。

CommanderI just hope it's all worth it.希望这一切都值得。

HavierThe Vympel troops are standing by outside the base, they'll take over from here. As for you, Griffin's chopper will transport you back to base soon. Then you can enjoy a proper vacation – you've earned it.信号旗的部队就在外围，他们之后会接管这座基地。你们的话，一会格里芬的直升机会接你们回去，然后好好享受一次休假，这是你赢来的。

CommanderHow very thoughtful of you.相当贴心的服务嘛。

HavierHahaha, this operation has achieved some very surprising results, after all. It has put me in a very good mood. That Isomer, Ange's juvenile Nytos, and the Relic phenomenon that just took place.哈哈哈，毕竟这次行动收获了太多令人意外的结果，我现在的心情还是很不错的。 不管是那个异构体，还是安洁发现的那些幼体，还有，在刚才触发的遗迹现象。

CommanderRelic phenomenon?遗迹现象？

HavierAccording to our surveillance... Persica's "top priority" Doll and the Sangvis units at the Starfish construct disintegrated and vanished into thin air.根据我们的监控。 帕斯卡的那位“最优先”的人形，还有那些海星里的铁血，在刚才的瞬间都被解构蒸发了。

Commander?!？！

HavierDon't be alarmed. Though I personally find it hard to believe, our experts claim that they have merely been transported to some other place. "Reverse Collapse" - have you heard of this term before?不用那么紧张，虽然我个人不太相信，但我们的专家分析说她们只是被送到了别的地方。 “逆向坍塌”，听过这个单词么？

CommanderYou're not going to give me a theory lecture, are you?你不会想要给我上什么理论课吧？

HavierSo you haven't, but that's okay. It's a phenomenon that was thought to be purely theoretical, but now it has actually happened. I would like to have a chat with you once you're back. Oh, I'd better bring Persica along. Don't worry, she's safe at the moment. She has also divulged all the information that we need. Our direction is very clear. I believe we're not far from our final destination.不知道也没关系。 这是原本只在理论中才会出现的现象，没想到真的发生了。 我想等你回来后我们再好好聊一聊，哦，还得拉上帕斯卡一起。 不用担心，她现在非常安全，也把应该告诉我们的都说了出来。 一切的指向都已经十分明显，我想我们离最后的终点已经不远了。

The Commander turns off the radio. The rotary blades of a helicopter can already be heard from a distance. The Dolls follow the Commander and assemble outside the base. Blown up remains and charred carcasses litter the area. The armored train in the distance is lying in two severed halves. The Commander looks up into the sky, where two green signal flares have gone off.指挥官关闭了电台，基地外直升机的声音已经在慢慢传来。 人形们伴随着指挥官走到了基地的外侧，到处都是爆炸的残骸和烧焦的尸体。 远处的装甲列车从中间裂成了两瓣，抬头望向空中，那里亮起了两枚绿色的信号弹。

The Vympel soldiers march right past the Griffin forces and into the base, as if they aren't there at all.信号旗的士兵从她们的身边跑入了基地内，仿佛指挥官和人形们都并不存在。

KThis is where we say goodbye.我们就在这里告别吧。

CommanderNot taking any souvenirs back with you?不带点什么回去吗？

KEverything goes with you – that's the order I received. Remember to hand the children over to Herr Havier's safekeeping. Now then, unpleasant as it is, I'd better go get Ange. My mission is to monitor her to begin with, it'll be bad if my objective goes missing.所有的东西都由你带走，这是我收到的命令，记得好好地把那些孩子带给哈维尔先生。 然后，虽然很不愿意，我得去把安洁找回来了。 我原本的任务就是监视她，要把自己的监视对象给搞丢可就不好了。

CommanderRight... Good luck to you.了解……那祝你好运。

KDon't worry, we'll meet again soon enough.不用担心，我们很快会再见面的。

K walks over to the Vympel troops while the Commander leads the Dolls toward the helicopter's landing position.K走向了信号旗的部队，而指挥官也带着人形们往直升机将要降落的地方走去。

The helicopter touches down on the open terrain outside the base. A familiar figure alights from the cabin.直升机朝着基地中平坦的地方降落下来，而机舱里走出来一个熟悉的身影。

HelianGood work, Commander.指挥官，作战辛苦了。

KalinaMiss Helian!赫丽安小姐！

HelianAnd you too, Kalina. It's time to go home. Mr. Kryuger is waiting for you.格琳娜你也辛苦了。 是时候该回家了，克鲁格先生正在等着你们。

???I never thought I'd ever see this with my own eyes! All my effort hasn't been in vain!没想到我真的可以亲眼看到，我的一切的努力都并没有白费！

???"Reverse Collapse". This phenomenon is not a myth, and its resonance with the Relic is now proven! There were some inexplicable changes though, hahaha. Those pathetic morons didn't really do their part, but good thing I have taken multiple precautions. Everything is still going according to plan!“逆向坍塌”，没想到那个现象真的存在，而且和“遗迹”的共鸣已经被证明是可行的！ 虽然有点微妙的变化，呵呵呵，那些可悲的笨蛋还是没有完成他们该做的事，但是幸好我做了多重的保险，一切还是照着计划进行！

???The world is becoming more and more interesting. Just you wait, Lunasia. Retribution will soon come after the murderers who killed you. Then you will once again return to my side, and we shall behold this brave new world together!这个世界将会变得越来越有趣，等着吧露尼西亚，那些杀死你的凶手很快就会得到应有的惩罚，然后你会再次回到我的身边，和我一起欣赏这个崭新的世界！

???It won't be long now... It won't be long...!这一切将不会很久……不会很久了……！
