Labored Expression 1 难言心语1

Commander(Yawn) So... sleepy...哈欠……好困……

(It's early in the morning. As the first rays of sunlight spill across the Elmo's deck, I walk out of my room while rubbing my shoulders.)（清晨，当第一缕阳光洒向艾莫号的甲板，我揉着肩膀走出了休息室。）

(I'm rarely up this early, and most of the Dolls are still asleep, so the corridor is filled with silence.)（难得早起，人形们大多仍在休眠，走廊上十分安静。）

(However, there is someone standing in the middle of the empty passage. It's Mosin-Nagant, who's leaning against a railing as she glances in my direction from time to time.)（然而，就在略显空旷的走廊之上，正立着一个身影——莫辛纳甘正倚靠着栏杆，目光时不时瞥向我所在的方向。）

(When she realizes I'm observing her, she nervously balls up her fists, as though she were making up her mind, and then quickly walks over to me.)（当她察觉到我在观察她时，似乎紧张地握了握拳，就像是终于下定了某种决心，快步迎了上来。）

Mosin-NagantGood morning, Comrade Commander!指挥官同志，早上好！

CommanderGood morning, Mosin-Nagant.早，莫辛纳甘。

(I greet her as usual, then carry on to the ops room.)（我如往常一般打了一声招呼，继续向指挥室进发。）

(However, Mosin-Nagant awkwardly follows me, trailing about half a step behind. There is a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in her voice.)（莫辛纳甘却局促地跟上半步，声音里带着一丝不易察觉的紧张。）

Mosin-NagantAh... Comrade Commander! Today's weather is... it looks stable, no? What do you think? The wind force is... 3, I think? It seems a bit weaker than yesterday's.那个……指挥官同志！今天的天气……看上去还算平稳？ 您觉得呢？风力……大概有三级？ 好像比昨天小一些了。

CommanderOh yes, today's weather is very good. Since when were you so concerned about the wind speed, Mosin-Nagant?嗯，确实今天的天气不错。 莫辛纳甘，你什么时候开始这么关心风速了？

(Perhaps I'm imagining things, but her face has turned slightly red.)（或许是我的错觉，她的脸颊微微泛红。）

Mosin-NagantAh, well, uh... I just thought that weather like this was perfect for... perfect for a walk across the Elmo. Yes, that's right, a walk! The air's very refreshing too. Wouldn't you agree, Commander?啊，这个……只是觉得，这样的天气，很适合……很适合甲板漫步。对，漫步！空气也很清新呢。指挥官您不觉得吗？

CommanderI'm of the same opinion. But, pray tell, is that REALLY what you want to tell me?我也这么认为。不过，你看起来似乎有话想说？

CommanderAre you facing some difficulties, Comrade Mosin-Nagant? Are you in need of assistance?是遇到什么困难了吗，莫辛纳甘同志？需要我帮忙？

Mosin-NagantEr, actually... ahaha...呃，事实上……哈哈……

(Mosin-Nagant scratches her head and smiles sheepishly. Her eyes are darting around from side to side. It seems she's very hesitant about what she's going to say next.)（莫辛纳甘微张着嘴，挠着头。她的眼神不断游移，似乎对于接下来要说的话十分犹豫——）

(Suddenly, a rapid ringtone breaks the increasingly awkward silence. A comm request comes through my tactical terminal. The caller is Groza.)（突然，一段急促的提示音打破了略显尴尬的沉默氛围。我的战术终端传来了通讯请求，是闪电。）

GrozaCommander, are you up? Our client just sent over a contract, and they want to discuss some of the clauses with you face to face. Please proceed to the ops room ASAP.指挥官，您起来了吗？委托方发来了委托合约，其中一些条款需要与您具体商议，请您立刻到指挥室。

CommanderRoger that. I'll be right over, Groza. Sorry, Mosin-Nagant, we'll continue this la—收到，闪电，我马上到。抱歉，莫辛纳甘，我们稍后再……

(As I look back, I see what looks like a combination of relief and dejection in Mosin-Nagant's eyes. However, it only lasts for a moment. She quickly returns to her usual sunny and reassuring demeanor, waving me goodbye in a loud voice.)（转头的瞬间，我仿佛瞥见莫辛纳甘的目光中交织着如释重负与失落。但她迅速切换回往日开朗干练的模式，朝我挥手告别，声音响亮。）

Mosin-NagantPlease go! Your duties come first, of course. All the best, Comrade Commander! Please do your best when clearing today's documents. May you work with efficiency!请您快去吧！任务优先。指挥官同志，祝您工作顺利。今天的文件也请加油处理，愿效率与您同在！

CommanderAlright, see you later, then.那么，回头再聊。

(I quicken my pace toward the ops room, but when I look back—)（我转身快步走向指挥室的方向，却不由得回头——）

(I see Mosin-Nagant sighing. Her shoulders droop briefly, but then she straightens back up almost immediately before smacking her forehead in frustration.)（莫辛纳甘轻轻叹了口气，肩膀微微垮下，但很快又挺直起来，懊恼地拍了拍自己的额头。）

(At long last, the contract negotiations are over. I drag my weary body to the crew deck. Right now, the only thing that separates me from a corpse is that a corpse no longer begs for death.)（终于，一场漫长的合同讨论会结束了。拖着疲惫的身体，我走向活动层，此刻我和死人唯一的区别，大概就是它们再也不会有“想死”的念头。）

(And as I turn the corner, Mosin-Nagant "just so happens" to be coming from the other direction.)（走过转角，莫辛纳甘“恰好”从另一边走来。）

Mosin-NagantOh my, what a coincidence, Comrade Commander! I didn't think I'd run into you here.哎呀！真巧啊，指挥官同志！在这里遇到您。

(I turn my gaze from side to side. This corridor is not one of her usual haunts.)（我看了看四周，这条走廊通常并非她日常活动的路线。）

CommanderYes, what a coincidence. Comrade Mosin-Nagant, I seem to be "coincidentally" running into you very often today. Are you surveying the weather patterns in the corridors?是啊，真巧。莫辛纳甘同志，最近总是能在“恰好”的时候遇到你呢。这次是走廊气象观测？

(Mosin-Nagant's smile goes stiff for a moment and she has to force herself to remain calm.)（莫辛纳甘笑容瞬间僵硬了一下，强装镇定。）

Mosin-NagantY-you're such a joker, Commander! Of course I'm... I'm performing a regular safety inspection! Yes, that's right, an inspection! I need to check if the fire hydrant indicator lights in this corridor are bright enough... Hm, they look fine.指、指挥官您真会开玩笑！我当然是……是来进行例行安全巡查的。对，巡查！这条走廊的消防栓指示灯亮度需要确认一下……嗯，看起来没问题。

CommanderAlright then, Comrade Inspector. So, might there be anything else apart from the lights? From what I can tell... hm, is there something weighing on your mind?好吧，巡查员同志。那么，除了指示灯，还有别的事吗？我看你好像……嗯，心里有事？

(Mosin-Nagant coughs heavily, and then her gaze begins shifting rapidly between the patterns on the floor, the texture of the walls, and the lights on the ceiling.)（莫辛纳甘猛地咳嗽了几下，视线开始疯狂在地板花纹、墙壁材质、天花板灯光之间跳跃。）

Mosin-NagantAh? No, of course not, what could possibly be bothering me? Everything is fine! Very fine!啊？没有事，我能有什么事？一切都很好！非常好！

Mosin-NagantOh yes, Commander, did you know that the cafeteria is serving braised beef as a special lunch item today? Apparently, Qiuhua tried a new recipe that used special spices from the Yellow Zones. While I don't need to eat, the smell was really tempting...哦对了，指挥官，您知道今天中午厨房的特供是红烩牛肉了吗？据说秋桦尝试了新的配方，加入了来自黄区的特殊香料。虽然我不需要进食，但飘来的味道确实很诱人……

Mosin-NagantAlso, Comrade Papasha found an extremely old model of a screw while performing equipment maintenance yesterday. Apparently, it's even older than the Elmo! Amazing, isn't it? Also...还有，您知道吗，昨天波波沙同志在保养装备时，居然发现了一颗生产编号非常古老的螺丝钉。据说比艾莫号的服役时间还长！真是不可思议对吧？还有还有……

(Listening to her jump from topic to topic is actually quite amusing. I choose to not interrupt her, but it's getting harder and harder to keep a smile from my mouth.)（听着她语速极快地东拉西扯，似乎也挺有趣的。我没有打断她，只是嘴角的笑意实在是绷不住了。）

(Mosin-Nagant spends two whole minutes on this. In the end, she clenches her eyes closed and stomps her foot with wanton force, as though she's exhausted all her excuses.)（莫辛纳甘说了足足两分钟，最后，像是耗尽了所有借口，她猛地一跺脚，闭上眼睛。）

Mosin-Nagant...Based on the abovementioned reasons and after taking into consideration the critical manpower shortage faced by the precinct's patrol complement, I would like to officially extend an invitation to you on behalf of Public Security Squad No. 7. We hope you can join us as a volunteer special constable for the weekend and join us on our daily patrol beats in POL-03...……所以基于以上原因，以及当前辖区治安小队面临人手短缺的客观困难，我谨代表城市治安管理部门七组治安小队正式向您提出邀请。希望您能在本周末临时充当义务治安员，参与POL-03辖区的日常巡逻工作……

(After getting all that out in one breath, she looks like she's on the verge of bluescreening.)（她一口气说完，仿佛随时都会宕机一般。）

CommanderSure, no problem.好啊，没问题。

(I agree without hesitation. Frankly speaking, I'm quite curious about Mosin-Nagant's assigned precinct too.)（我爽快地答应了下来。说实话，我还挺好奇莫辛纳甘工作的辖区是什么样子。）

(However, it seems Mosin-Nagant didn't notice what I said due to her nervousness and my rapid reply. And so, she plunges on undeterred.)（但显然因为过度紧张和语速太快，莫辛纳甘完全没听清我在说什么，自顾自地继续快速说着。）

Mosin-NagantI fully understand this request is a great imposition on you and the arduous nature of your daily work means you have practically no time to entertain such a trivial request. Therefore, even your refusal is a perfectly reasonable and acceptable outcome, and I sincerely wish to express my understanding and support for your response.我完全明白这个请求非常冒昧，而且指挥官同志平日里工作繁忙，几乎不可能有时间来处理这种微不足道的小事。 所以即使您拒绝也是完全合理且正常的事情。我对此表示充分的理解和支持。

Mosin-NagantIn that case, I will not hold you back any further. Enjoy your lunch, and may we meet again, Comrade Commander.那么就不打扰您了，祝您午餐愉快。再见指挥官同志。

(After that last burst of words not unlike machine-gun fire, she immediately turns on her heel and makes to flee the scene. I reach out to grab her arm.)（她连珠炮似的说完，立刻转身就要逃离现场。我连忙伸手拉住了她的胳膊。）

CommanderMosin-Nagant.莫辛纳甘。

Mosin-Nagant...Yes? Do you have any further instructions, Commander?……是？指挥官您还有何指示？

(As I take in her red cheeks and the dejected look in her eyes, I repeat what I said earlier.)（看着她通红的脸颊和失落的眼神，我重新组织了一遍语言。）

CommanderI just said, "Sure, no problem." I would be delighted to serve as a volunteer special constable with you this weekend.我刚刚说，“好啊，没问题。”我很乐意周末去给你当临时治安员。

(Mosin-Nagant's head suddenly jerks up, her eyes wide and full of disbelief.)（莫辛纳甘猛地抬起头，眼睛瞪得大大的，充满了难以置信。）

Mosin-NagantBweh? You... you said what? You said yes? You really said yes? Not no? Not, "please repeat your request again"?欸？您……您说什么？您答应了？您真的答应了？不是拒绝？也不是让我再重复一遍请求？

CommanderYes, I heard you very clearly the first time. You're low on manpower and asked me to help serve as a volunteer special constable for the weekend.是的，我听得非常清楚。人手紧缺，你邀请我周末担任临时义务治安员。

CommanderAnd I accepted. Honestly, it sounds like a lot of fun and it'll help me to better understand your daily work situation.我接受了。这听起来是个很有趣的体验，也能更好地了解你平日里工作的情况。

(Delight and excitement instantly overwhelm her tension and awkwardness. Mosin-Nagant's face shines with an incandescent smile.)（瞬间，喜悦和激动冲垮了所有的紧张和局促，莫辛纳甘的脸上绽放出无比灿烂的笑容。）

Mosin-NagantThat... that's wonderful! Really? Thank you so much, Commander! I'm so happy to hear that! Ah, no no no, I mean, the squad greatly appreciates your support. You have our thanks.太……太好了！真的吗？谢谢您，指挥官同志。我太高兴了！不不不，我是说，治安小队太需要您的支援了。谢谢您。

CommanderYup, it's a date. So, when and where exactly do you need me?嗯，说定了。具体时间和地点呢？

(Mosin-Nagant is so excited that she's barely coherent.)（莫辛纳甘兴奋得几乎语无伦次。）

Mosin-NagantEight o'clock on Saturday morning! Please proceed to the main office of the Department of Public Security for Precinct W12 of Satellite City POL-03. I'll be waiting for you there.周六早上八点！就在POL-03卫星城W12辖区治安管理部门的办公室。我会提前等您。

Mosin-NagantI've prepared three sets of equipment, patrol routes, and backup plans. Weather forecasts indicate clear skies and warm temperatures.装备、巡逻路线、备选方案，我已经规划好了三条。天气也看过了，预报说是晴天。温度适宜。

Mosin-NagantIn short, it's perfect for outdoor activities... Ahem, I mean, outdoor patrols.总之非常适合户外活动……呃，户外巡逻。

CommanderAlright, eight o'clock on Saturday morning, at the main office of the Department of Public Security for Precinct W12 of Satellite City POL-03. I got it.好的，周六早上八点，POL-03卫星城W12辖区治安管理部门的办公室。我记住了。

(Mosin-Nagant tries desperately to resume a dignified and sincere expression, but there's no quelling the smile plastered across her face.)（莫辛纳甘努力想恢复严肃认真的表情，但嘴角的笑容怎么也压不下去。）

Mosin-NagantYes, Comrade Commander!是！指挥官同志。

Mosin-NagantIn that case, I won't take up any more of your precious lunchtime. See you on Saturday.那么……我就不再占用您宝贵的午餐时间了。周六见。

(Mosin-Nagant salutes with exceptional force. I can practically hear the fabric of her clothes rustling with the wind as she does. With that, she turns and strides off, seemingly unaware of how stiff and awkward her movements are.)（莫辛纳甘敬了一个格外用力的军礼，几乎能听到布料摩擦的声响。敬完礼，她转身大步离开，连步伐都变成了同手同脚。）

(While I have my doubts about how "critical" that "manpower shortage" she touted was, they're overruled by my anticipation for this weekend's "duty".)（我虽然对那份“人手紧缺”的报告略有疑惑，但更多的是对周末的“执勤”产生了些许期待。）

(From the end of the corridor, I can barely make out a suppressed cheer: "YES! I did it!")（走廊尽头，隐约传来她压抑不住的小声欢呼——“成功了！太好了！”）

Labored Expression 2 难言心语2

(It's not eight o'clock yet, but I've already reached Mosin-Nagant's assigned police station.)（当时针还未指向八点，我便提前抵达了莫辛纳甘所在的治安管理部门。）

(The metal door to the office slowly slides open with a quiet whoosh of displaced air.)（随着一阵轻微的充气声，办公室的金属大门缓缓滑开。）

(I see Mosin-Nagant bending over a tactical desk covered in electronic maps and patrol diagrams, unconsciously tapping a rhythm on the table while occasionally glancing at the clock.)（只见莫辛纳甘正俯身在一张堆满电子地图和巡逻报表的战术桌前，手指无意识地敲击着桌面，目光却不时频频飘向墙上的时钟。）

(She's clearly surprised and delighted that I came early and happily waves me over. Excitement raises her voice's pitch by half an octave.)（我的提早到来显然让她又惊又喜，她开心地向我挥手，声音因激动而比平时高了半度。）

Mosin-NagantComrade Commander! You... you came.指挥官同志！您……您来了。

(She rushes toward me, but then she screeches to a halt just two steps away from me. Mosin-Nagant doesn't seem to know what to do with her hands; one moment they're at her sides, the next they're halfway raised, like she's about to salute. She's as awkward as a recruit on her first day in boot camp.)（她快步迎上前，却在距离我仅两步远的地方猛地刹住脚步，双手似乎不知道该如何摆放，一会儿贴在裤缝上，一会儿又抬起来想敬礼，局促得像个第一天报到的新兵。）

(Meanwhile, the two other PubSec officers—Clara and Galina—exchange meaningful looks and whisper to each other.)（而治安管理部门里的其他两名队员——克拉拉和加莉娜——交换了一个意味深长的眼神，小声嘀咕起来。）

(Galina lightly nudges Clara with her elbow.)（加莉娜用手肘轻轻碰了碰克拉拉。）

GalinaTake a gander at Leader. It's the first time I've ever seen her act this way.你看队长的样子，我还是第一次见她这样。

ClaraIs her neural cloud overloading?难道是心智过载了？

(Mosin-Nagant most definitely heard that. She clears her throat more forcefully than she has to and tries her best to maintain her usual tone that would befit a calm leader. However, try as she might, she can't flush the pink from her cheeks.)（莫辛纳甘显然听到了议论，她猛地清了清嗓子，努力想让自己的声音恢复平时那种冷静干练的队长声线，但脸颊却不受控制地泛红。）

Mosin-NagantComrade Commander! You... you're right on time.指挥官同志！您……很准时。

(Curious, Clara steps up and boldly examines me.)（克拉拉好奇地走上前几步，大胆地打量我。）

ClaraOhhh—! So you're the Commander, in the flesh! Leader always...哦——！原来您就是指挥官？终于见到真人了！队长她可是经常……

(Before she can finish, Mosin-Nagant shuts her up with a stern glare.)（然而话没说完，剩下的话被莫辛纳甘用严厉的眼神瞪了回去。）

CommanderGood morning, ladies. It's an honor to be a part of your squad, even if it's only for a while. Now then, Leader Mosin-Nagant... What exactly is on the agenda for our work today?早上好，各位。很荣幸能临时加入治安小队。那么，莫辛纳甘队长，我们今天的具体工作任务是什么？

(Hearing the words "work" and "Leader" seems to flip a switch in Mosin-Nagant. The awkward and nervous girl from before vanishes instantly. It is replaced by the focus and decisiveness of a capable Tactical Doll. This right here is the Mosin-Nagant I know.)（听到“工作”和“队长”这两个词，莫辛纳甘像是被按下了某个开关，刚才那份生涩与紧张奇迹般地迅速褪去，取而代之的是我熟悉的、属于一名优秀战术人形的专注与果断。）

Mosin-NagantAlright, listen up, ladies! As mentioned in the plan, I'll be leading Team A. Comrade Commander and I will be patrolling the central business district and the adjacent First Public Park.好了，队员们！按照预定计划，A组由我带领，与指挥官同志一同负责中央商业区及毗邻公园的一号线巡逻。

Mosin-NagantGalina will lead Team B. You'll be patrolling the outskirts of the industrial warehouse district. All personnel are to keep the comm channels clear and check in once per hour.B组由加莉娜负责，巡查工业仓储区外围。所有人员保持频道畅通，每小时例行汇报一次。

(Her gaze sweeps the room and finally lands on Papasha, who's checking an equipment crate.)（她的目光扫过众人，最后落在正在检查装备箱的波波沙身上。）

Mosin-NagantComrade Papasha, what is the current status of our malfunctioning and damaged gear?波波沙同志。之前出现故障和损耗的装备现在状态怎么样？

(Papasha doesn't look up. She smacks a nearby metal box like she's done this a hundred times before.)（波波沙头也不抬，熟练地拍打着身旁一个金属箱。）

PapashaIt's fine, Leader! I've checked all our equipment. All malfunctions have been dealt with, and all damaged equipment has been replaced. It's ready for use at any time!没问题的，队长，所有装备我都检查过了。故障已修复，损耗装备也已更换，随时可以投入使用！

(Galina raises a hand, a teasing smile on her face.)（加莉娜举起手，带着一丝调侃的笑意。）

GalinaLeader, I'd like to confirm something. Our focus today is actual civil protection patrols and not an exclusive VIP tour, right? Are there really any "potential threats" at that observation deck which warrant you to go out of your way to visit it?队长，确认一下，今天的重点真的是治安巡逻，而不是贵宾的专属导览对吧？路线规划里好像没什么“安全隐患”需要特意绕去那个观景平台哦？

(Mosin-Nagant's face flushes pink again, but she immediately straightens up and tries to mask her awkwardness with a firm tone.)（莫辛纳甘脸又微微红了一下，但她立刻挺直腰板，试图用格外认真的语气掩饰表情的不自然。）

Mosin-NagantAhem. Comrade Galina, that observation deck... boasts an ample field of vision and allows clear observation of the traffic flows on Public Highway No. 3. At night, it also serves as a hotspot for civilian foot traffic. Pre-emptive inspection of potential security issues is a legitimate intelligence task.咳，加莉娜同志，观景平台那个位置……视野开阔，能清楚地观察三号公路的车流，晚上还是居民散步的热门地点，提前检查安全问题可是正经的情报工作。

Mosin-Nagant...In short, it's a legit mission, so just do as I say.……总之，这是正经的任务，听我的就没错啦。

GalinaYeppers~ You got it, Leader, we'll carry out the mission for sure.是~是~队长，绝对执行命令。

Mosin-NagantVery good. Move out!很好！出发！

(The other squad members turn and stream out of the room with practiced fluidity. Their boots pound out a crisp, staccato rhythm on the ground which soon vanishes down the end of the corridor. Naturally, I pivot and prepare to head out with them.)（队员们训练有素地迅速转身，鱼贯而出。靴底敲击地板的声音密集而短促，很快消失在走廊尽头。于是我也自然地转身，准备跟随队伍一同出发。）

Mosin-NagantAh! Comrade Commander, please... please hold on for a bit.啊！指挥官同志。请……请稍等一下。

(I grind to a halt and turn back to look at her, a confused look on my face. Right now, we're the only two people left in the office. The low roar of the air conditioning makes itself especially evident.)（我不由停下脚步，疑惑地转身。此刻，办公室里只剩下我们两人，空气循环系统低沉的轰鸣声变得格外清晰。）

(Mosin-Nagant's hands rummage through her pockets as her face grows redder and redder.)（莫辛纳甘手忙脚乱地在自己的几个口袋里翻找着，脸越来越红。）

Mosin-NagantAh... This is a volunteer special constable's temporary badge. I... forgot to give it to you. A major oversight on my part.那个……义务治安员的临时徽章。我……忘了给您佩戴了。真是重大疏忽。

(She finally pulls a small diamond-shaped alloy badge from her breast pocket. It shimmers with a soft blue light. Then, she pauses, as though she's summoning up all her courage, before she looks up and meets my gaze.)（她终于从胸前的口袋里掏出了一个小巧的、闪烁着柔和蓝色微光的菱形合金徽章，仿佛鼓起了巨大的勇气，才抬头直视着我。）

Mosin-NagantIt's for you. We're finally fighting side by side again.给您，终于又能够和指挥官一起并肩作战了。

(Her voice is very quiet, but it's filled with sincere anticipation.)（她的声音很轻，却充满了真挚的期待。）

(I take the badge from her, but I don't put it on right away. Instead, I keep looking at her.)（我接过了徽章，但并未立刻佩戴，而是继续看着她。）

CommanderYou looked and sounded like a squad leader just now. It fills me with joy to see you like that.你刚才的样子，很有队长的风范。看到你这样，我很高兴。

CommanderIt feels strange, really. In the past, I was the one giving you orders, but today, I'll be the one taking orders from Leader Mosin-Nagant.感觉真是奇妙，以前通常是我向你下达指令，今天开始，可是要换成我听从莫辛纳甘队长的指示了。

(This sudden praise makes Mosin-Nagant's face grow bright red all of a sudden. She frantically waves her hands in an attempt to humbly deny it, but her eyes are trained on me throughout the whole thing.)（这突如其来的夸奖似乎让莫辛纳甘的脸瞬间染上了绯色。她虽然连忙摆手，谦虚地否认，但眼神并未退缩。）

Mosin-NagantNo... that's not true. I still have a lot to learn. I'm a long way from being like you, Commander.不……没有的事。我还有很多需要学习。和指挥官您相比还差得远。

Mosin-NagantCould I... could I help put that badge on for you?那个徽章……我帮您别上吧？

(Mosin-Nagant reaches out and takes the badge from my hand.)（莫辛纳甘主动伸出手，从我的掌心取回那枚徽章。）

(I thrust my chest forward to make it easier for her. Mosin-Nagant takes a step forward and carefully pins it on the breast pocket on the left side of my uniform. Her fingers tremble slightly from nervousness, and she carefully adjusts the angle to make sure it's perfectly straight. Her warm, faintly scented breath caresses my neck and the underside of my chin.)（为了配合她，我微微挺胸，而莫辛纳甘上前一步，专注地将徽章轻轻别在我制服的左胸前。她的手指因为紧张而不时轻微颤抖，小心翼翼地调整着徽章的角度，确保它绝对端正。她温热的、带着一丝若有若无清香的气息，轻轻拂过我的领口和下颌。）

(There is a subtle, almost intimate serenity in the air.)（空气中弥漫着一种微妙的、近乎私密的静谧。）

(Just then, the sound of rushing footsteps draws closer. The door to the office slides open once again. It is Clara, who has returned after stepping out.)（就在这一刻——一串略显匆忙的脚步声由远及近，办公室的门再次滑开。是克拉拉去而复返。）

ClaraSorry, Leader! I forgot my—抱歉队长！我忘了拿我的——

(Clara notices just how close we are to each other and the flush on Mosin-Nagant's face, as well as the way she's carefully pinning the badge onto me. It twinkles under the light.)（克拉拉的目光瞬间捕捉到房间里距离过近的我们、莫辛纳甘通红的脸颊、以及她正小心翼翼别在我胸前的、在灯光下微微反光的徽章。）

(Clara's words immediately die in her throat, but a knowing, mischievous grin immediately spreads across her face.)（克拉拉的话戛然而止，脸上立刻浮现出恍然大悟和促狭的笑容。）

Clara—My helmet. Yesssss, just my helmet.——我的头盔。嗯，只是拿头盔。

(Mosin-Nagant stumbles back, hands and feet flailing like an epileptic octopus before she tries to stiffen up her expression to hide her embarrassment.)（莫辛纳甘手忙脚乱地后退半步，假装板起脸试图掩饰尴尬。）

Mosin-NagantAhem! Move fast, Comrade Clara! The others are waiting for you!咳咳，克拉拉同志。动作快一点，大家都在等你！

(Clara slowly and deliberately picks up the helmet sitting on her chair. Her eyes dart between us and a brief giggle escapes her lips.)（克拉拉慢悠悠地拿起放在椅子上的头盔，眼神在我们两人之间来回瞟，噗嗤一声笑了起来。）

ClaraI'll be going now, Leader. Far be it from me to interrupt this, er, solemn badge adjustment ceremony.队长，我这就走，绝对不打扰您……呃……进行重要的徽章佩戴及校准工作。

(As she passes Mosin-Nagant, she deliberately lowers her voice and speaks just loud enough that I can hear it too.)（她经过莫辛纳甘身边时，故意压低声音，用恰好能让我也隐约听到的音量打趣。）

ClaraVERY shiny badge, Leader. Perfect match for your face. Good luck!队长，徽章很闪。和您的脸色很配~加油！

(With those words, she whistles playfully before scampering off.)（说完，她吹了一声俏皮的口哨，快步溜了出去。）

(The office is silent again, perhaps even quieter than before. Mosin-Nagant averts her gaze, then clears her throat in an unnatural way. However, her fists are unclenched now.)（办公室里再次恢复安静，甚至比之前更加静谧。莫辛纳甘稍稍别开视线，不太自然地清了清嗓子，但紧握的拳头却悄悄松开了。）

(I say nothing. All I do is step forward and reach out to place my hand over hers.)（我什么都没有说，只是向前迈了一步，伸手轻轻覆上了她微颤的指尖。）

(Mosin-Nagant seems surprised by this. After pausing for a moment, she reverses her hand and squeezes mine tightly. She looks at me and speaks. Her voice is very soft, but strangely clear and firm.)（莫辛纳甘有些惊讶，顿了片刻，她翻转手腕，坚定地回握住了我的手。她看着我开口，声音很轻，却格外清晰与坚定。）

(Mosin-Nagant's voice is very soft, but strangely clear and firm.)（莫辛纳甘的声音很轻，却格外清晰与坚定。）

Mosin-NagantLet's go, Comrade Commander. Today's patrol... has only just begun.指挥官同志，我们出发吧。今天的巡逻……才刚刚开始。

CommanderIndeed, Leader. Let's go.好的，队长。我们出发。

(And so, we leave the empty PubSec office, hand in hand, out toward the sunlit streets.)（我们就这样牵着手，走出了空荡荡的治安管理部门，走向阳光明媚的街道。）

(Our personal, private public security patrol has begun.)（属于我们两人的、第一次治安巡逻开始了。）

Labored Expression 3 难言心语3

(It's a bright and sunny afternoon. Mosin-Nagant and I are walking side by side through the neighborhood on a daily patrol.)（又是一个阳光和煦的下午，我与莫辛纳甘并排走在安静的社区街道上进行日常巡逻。）

(A breeze carries a floral fragrance to us. Suddenly, a faint yet clear sound of crying breaks the silence.)（微风拂过，带来花草的清香。忽然，一阵细微却清晰的抽泣声打破了这份宁静。）

Mosin-NagantDid you hear that, Comrade Commander? Three o'clock, behind those bushes.指挥官同志，您听到了吗？三点钟方向，灌木丛后面。

CommanderYes, sounds like a child.嗯，好像是个孩子。

(We follow the sound to a corner of a public park. There, we find a girl in a dress, roughly four to five years old, rubbing her eyes as she weeps.)（循声走去，我们在社区花园的一个角落，发现了一个约莫四五岁、穿着小裙子、正揉着眼睛哭泣的小女孩。）

(Mosin-Nagant immediately crouches down to bring herself level with the girl. She tries to speak as gently as she can, although her voice still sounds a little stiff.)（莫辛纳甘立刻蹲下身，试图与小女孩平视，声音放得尽可能柔和——虽然听起来有点僵硬。）

Mosin-NagantLittle Comrade, how... is something wrong? Please feel free to report anything to me. Shedding tears won't solve your problems... Yes, you have to burn bright with bravery!小同志，你……怎么了？有任何困难都可以向我汇报。哭泣无法解决问题，要……要坚强！

(The girl is startled by this sudden pep talk and goes stiff for a moment. Then her crying grows even louder.)（小女孩被她这突如其来的语气吓了一跳，愣了一秒，随即“哇”地一声哭得更大声了。）

(Mosin-Nagant panics and becomes even more incoherent.)（莫辛纳甘顿时手忙脚乱，更加语无伦次。）

Mosin-NagantEr, what? Wait! Please don't cry, you're brave, just listen to—呃？等等！先别哭，你是个勇敢的孩子，先听我——

GirlUweehhh... Uwaaaaaahhhhh—呜呃……呜啊啊哇哇哇哇——

(I can't help but burst into laughter as I watch Mosin-Nagant dig herself deeper with each word.)（看着越帮越忙的莫辛纳甘，我实在忍不住笑了起来。）

(From my experience, talking isn't going to help at times like these. I feel around in my uniform pocket, searching for the egg-shaped pendant inside, and open it. Inside is a small gyroscope. I start it up and it spins evenly, making a soft, pleasant hum.)（按我的经验，说话并没有什么用。我在制服口袋里摸索了一下，找到了那个小巧的彩蛋吊坠并打开。彩蛋中间是一个精致的陀螺仪，我拨动了陀螺仪，它平稳地旋转起来，发出细微悦耳的嗡鸣。）

CommanderHey, kiddo. See this? Doesn't it look pretty when it spins?你看，这是什么？它转起来是不是很漂亮？

GirlY-yeah, it's pretty... uwehh...漂、漂亮……呜……唔……

(The girl's crying slowly dies down as she is fascinated by the spinning, sparkling object. She sniffles, but her eyes are wide as she stares at it without blinking.)（小女孩的哭声渐渐小了，被那旋转的、亮晶晶的小东西吸引了注意，抽噎着，大眼睛一眨不眨地盯着看。）

(After seeing the girl settle down, Mosin-Nagant breathes a sigh of relief and whispers to me.)（见小女孩的情绪稳定了下来，莫辛纳甘松了一口气，压低声音。）

Mosin-NagantMy greatest thanks for your assistance, Comrade Commander. I'll take it from here.指挥官同志，万分感谢您的支援。剩下让我来吧。

(She composes herself again and tries to make her voice sound as gentle as possible.)（她重新整理了一下表情，努力让声音变得更温柔些。）

Mosin-NagantDo you have a name, little one? Why are you out here by yourself? Do you know where your... parents are?小朋友，你叫什么名字？怎么一个人在这里？你的……你的家长呢？

(The girl gazes at the spinning gyroscope, then at the big sister who still looks a little stern, but isn't that scary anymore. She sniffles, and then she replies.)（小女孩看了看还在旋转的陀螺仪，又看了看眼前这个表情有点严肃但似乎没那么可怕的姐姐，小声抽噎着回答。）

GirlMy... my name is Bella... I lost my mommy... uweehhh...我……我叫贝拉……我和妈妈走散了……呜呜……

(I gently place the pendant in Bella's hand.)（我将彩蛋吊坠轻轻放在贝拉的小手里。）

CommanderI see, so your name is Bella. Don't be scared, okay? This is Big Sis Mosin-Nagant, she's the local police squad leader and she's super awesome. Her job is helping people like you who are in trouble.原来你叫贝拉。别怕，你看，这位是莫辛纳甘姐姐，她是这里的治安小队队长，非常非常厉害，专门帮助像贝拉一样遇到困难的人。

BellaPo... police squad leader?治……治安小队队长？

Mosin-NagantYup, my job is to keep everyone safe. For instance... I helped Uncle Smith find his toolbox last week! And just yesterday, I stopped a bunch of big kids from messing around on the street! And I helped a cat down from a tree branch, and...是的，我的职责就是保护大家的安全。比如……比如上周我帮工匠爷爷找回了他的工具箱！昨天还阻止了几个大孩子在街上追逐打闹！还有，从树枝上救了一只被困的小猫……还有……

(Mosin strives mightily to describe her adventures to the child.)（莫辛纳甘努力搜刮着适合说给小孩听的事迹。）

CommanderSee, Big Sis Mosin-Nagant is a good person who helps people. She won't do bad things. That means you can trust us, Bella. Can you tell us your mommy's name or where you were just now?看，莫辛纳甘姐姐是帮助街坊的好人，不会做坏事。所以贝拉可以相信我们，告诉我们妈妈的名字、或者你们刚才在哪里好吗？

(Between my coaxing and Mosin-Nagant's best "heroic" performance, we finally manage to get Bella to tell us her mother's name and the rough location where they got separated.)（在我的引导和莫辛纳甘努力表现的“英雄”形象下，贝拉终于断断续续地说出了妈妈的名字和大概的走散地点。）

(Mosin-Nagant whips out her communications terminal.)（莫辛纳甘立刻拿出了通讯终端。）

Mosin-NagantHQ, this is Mosin-Nagant. We've got a lost child on the south side of Central Park. Her name is Bella and she's around four years old. Her mother's name is Anna, and we suspect they got separated in the nearby marketplace. Requesting assistance in finding and contacting her family.总部总部，这里是莫辛纳甘。在中央公园南侧发现一名走失儿童，名为贝拉，约四岁。其母亲名为安娜，怀疑在附近市集走散，请求协调查找并联络家属。

(Things slowly calm down as we wait for a reply. Bella stares in fascination at the gyroscope spinning inside the pendant.)（等待回复期间，气氛缓和下来。贝拉好奇地摆弄着手里吊坠中的陀螺仪。）

CommanderLet's find Bella a more comfortable place to wait. Mosin-Nagant, is there anywhere for a kid to sit down around here?我们带贝拉找个更舒服的地方等吧。莫辛纳甘，这附近有什么适合孩子待的地方吗？

Mosin-NagantYes, there is! Turn left 200 meters ahead. There's a small community playground there with a seesaw and a slide. It's good for... it's good for kids!有的！前方左转约两百米，有一个小型的社区游乐区，那里有秋千和滑梯，符合……符合儿童的偏好！

CommanderAlright, then we'll wait for Bella's mom there.好，那我们就去那里等贝拉的妈妈。

(We take Bella to the playground. She's soon drawn to a colorful slide and excitedly points to the fairly tall platform.)（我们带着贝拉来到游乐区。贝拉很快被色彩鲜艳的滑梯吸引，兴奋地指着对她来说有点高的平台。）

BellaBig Sis, I want to play on that!姐姐，我想玩那个……！

Mosin-NagantRoger that! Hmm, site assessment suggests that assisted climbing will not pose any safety hazards.收到！经过评估协助攀爬没有安全隐患。

(Mosin-Nagant steps forward and makes a clumsy attempt to pick up Bella. However, she's not used to playing with kids. As such, she can't control her strength well and her grip makes Bella a little uncomfortable.)（莫辛纳甘立刻上前，动作略显笨拙地试图抱起贝拉。但或许是不太照顾小孩的缘故，莫辛纳甘不知道该怎么用力，抱得贝拉有点不舒服。）

CommanderLet me help you out.我来帮你。

(I help Mosin-Nagant adjust her posture like it's the most natural thing in the world. I hold onto Bella with one hand while my other guides Mosin-Nagant's arm, forming a perfectly safe and stable support for her.)（我自然地协助莫辛纳甘调整姿势，一只手稳稳地托住贝拉，另一只手护在莫辛纳甘的手臂旁，形成一个安全的支撑。）

CommanderAlright, Leader. Requesting permission for launch.好了，队长，火箭请求发射。

Mosin-NagantOK, permission granted.OK，允许发射。

(Mosin-Nagant and I lift Bella to the top of the slide. She whooshes down and giggles merrily.)（莫辛纳甘在我的帮助下，成功地将贝拉送到了滑梯顶端。贝拉欢快地滑了下来，发出咯咯的笑声。）

(Just then, an older woman who's passing by notices Mosin-Nagant's distinctive uniform. She waves to her with a warm smile.)（这时，一位路过的老妇人看到这一幕，似乎注意到了莫辛纳甘那身显眼的制服，热情地笑着招呼。）

Old WomanMy, if it isn't Leader Mosin-Nagant. I can't thank you enough for helping me find my wallet back then. And this is... Oh, just look at you, what a happy family you make! And your child is such a cutie!哎呦，莫辛纳甘队长，上次多亏了你帮我找回钱包。这位是……哎呀，瞧瞧这一家子，真是温馨呐！你家的孩子真可爱！

(Mosin-Nagant immediately freezes up as if someone hit the pause button on her. Her face is turning red in real-time. Her mouth hangs open, but she can't muster a word. I can almost imagine the steam coming out of her ears.)（莫辛纳甘瞬间像是被按了暂停键，整个人僵住，脸以肉眼可见的速度红透了。她的嘴巴张了张，却一个字也发不出来，头顶几乎要冒出蒸汽。）

Mosin-NagantI... we... we're not... it's not...我……我们……不是……那个……

CommanderGreetings, ma'am. This young lady lost her mother, so we're taking care of her until her family comes to pick her up. Children's safety comes first, after all.您好，这个孩子刚才不小心和家人走散了，我们正在照顾她，等待她家人来接。孩子的安全最重要。

Old WomanOhhhh! So you were actually on duty! Still, seeing the two of you does put my old heart at ease. Dear little Mosin-Nagant is a good girl. She's responsible and she's got a good heart, so don't let her get away!哦哦哦！原来你们是在执勤中啊。不过，看着你们俩就让人觉得安心。队长可是个好姑娘，又热心又负责，要好好珍惜她呀！

(The older woman laughs as she leaves. Left in her wake is a newly chiseled stone statue made in Mosin-Nagant's image.)（老妇人笑着走开了，留下原地几乎石化的莫辛纳甘。）

(Just then, Mosin-Nagant's communicator rings. She reaches for it as though she's been relieved of some great burden and answers the call.)（就在这时，莫辛纳甘的通讯终端响了，她如释重负一般，飞速地接起了通讯。）

Mosin-Nagant...Have you contacted Mrs. Anna yet? She's rushing to the playground? Got it! We'll wait here.……已经联系到贝拉的母亲安娜了？正在赶往游乐区……明白！我们会在此等待。

(Not long afterwards, a harried-looking young woman runs over.)（在游乐区等待了不久，一位神色焦急的年轻女性匆匆奔跑过来。）

BellaMama!妈妈！

AnnaBella! My baby! Thank you! Thank you so much, I was so worried I thought I'd go mad!贝拉！我的宝贝！谢谢！太感谢你们了，我都快急疯了！

(The young mother scoops up Bella and bows to me and Mosin-Nagant.)（年轻的母亲抱着贝拉，对着我和莫辛纳甘连连鞠躬。）

AnnaI can't thank you enough! Thank you for taking care of Bella and playing with her... Thank you so much!真的不知道该怎么感谢你们！谢谢你们照顾贝拉，陪着贝拉玩……真的……太谢谢了！

(Bella leans against her mother's chest and carefully returns the pendant to me.)（贝拉倚在母亲怀里，小心地将那个吊坠递还给我。）

BellaThank you, I'm giving it back now. And... thank you, awesome big sis.这个还给你。谢谢你，还有……厉害的姐姐。

CommanderYou're welcome. Stick close to your mommy in the future, okay?不客气。以后要紧紧跟着妈妈哦。

(The mother and daughter duo thank us again before leaving. Mosin-Nagant watches them go and breathes a heavy sigh of relief.)（母女俩再次道谢后离去。莫辛纳甘望着她们的背影，长长地舒了一口气。）

Mosin-NagantComrade Commander... Forgive me, I made a fool of myself just now. I... I'm not good at dealing with children. When I encounter them during my duties, it's usually Papasha or my other colleagues who are far better with kids that'll take care of them.指挥官同志……抱歉，让您见笑了。我……我一直不太擅长应对小孩子。平时遇到这类需要与幼童沟通的事件，通常都是波波沙或者更擅长照顾孩子的同事处理。

Mosin-NagantYou, on the other hand, seem to be really good at handling them. I can't believe you actually had such a fancy little toy on hand for her.反倒是您，指挥官，您哄孩子真的很有一套，竟然能随手掏出那么精巧的小玩具。

CommanderHehe, well, I'm not really the caretaker type. It's just... after spending so long with Helena and seeing how Colphne plays with her, I picked up a thing or two.呵呵，其实我也不是能照顾好小孩子的类型。只是……总和海伦娜那孩子相处，看寇尔芙总是带着她玩，多少也偷学了一点技巧。

CommanderAs for this... Well, I actually bought it for you.至于这个……其实，它本来是我买来打算送给你的。

(I hand Mosin-Nagant the pendant. She freezes up, her eyes going wide.)（我将吊坠递到莫辛纳甘面前。莫辛纳甘愣住了，眼睛微微睁大。）

Mosin-NagantFor... for me?送……送给我的？

CommanderYup. I saw it several days ago. I thought it was pretty, sophisticated, reliable, and steadfast, always true to its core, keeping balanced and staying its course. For some reason, it reminded me of a certain someone who diligently patrolled the streets and kept her city safe.嗯。前几天看到，觉得它很漂亮，精密，可靠，坚持不懈地围绕着核心旋转，保持平衡与方向……不知怎么的，就让我想起了最近认真巡逻、守护着这片街区的你。

CommanderThough I had to let Bella play with it just now because it was an emergency. I hope you don't mind.只是刚才情况紧急，先给贝拉玩了，希望你不要介意。

(Mosin-Nagant looks at the pendant, which sparkles faintly in the sunlight. Then, she looks at me, her face flushing red again. This time, however, her countenance is neither stressed nor harried; rather, she is delighted and moved.)（莫辛纳甘看着那枚在阳光下闪烁着微光的吊坠，又看向我，脸上再次泛起红晕，但这次她的神情不再窘迫，而是满满的惊喜和感动。）

Mosin-NagantHow... how could I possibly mind? Thank you so much, Comrade Commander! This is... this is the best gift I've ever received!我……我怎么会介意！谢谢您，指挥官同志！这是我收到的……最好的礼物！

(She carefully, reverently takes the pendant from me, squeezing it tightly in her palm before carefully putting it on.)（她小心翼翼地、无比郑重地接过吊坠，紧紧握在手心，又仔细地将吊坠系到了脖颈之间。）

(As I watch how she tenderly caresses the pendant hanging from her neck, I find myself reaching out to her, the same way I do before each patrol together.)（看着她珍重地抚摸着颈间吊坠的模样，我不由向她伸出手，如同之前每一次巡逻出发时。）

CommanderNow then, Leader Mosin-Nagant. Shall we continue with our patrol?那么，莫辛纳甘队长，我们继续巡逻？

(Mosin-Nagant smiles and takes my hand without hesitation.)（莫辛纳甘笑着，毫不犹豫地回握住了我的手。）

Mosin-NagantOf course, Comrade Commander!是，指挥官同志！

Labored Expression 4 难言心语4

(A week later, in the evening, the station is filled with an ambience of both ease and relaxation. Mosin-Nagant's squad is holding a small farewell party to mark the end of my brief attachment to the squad.)（一周后的傍晚，治安管理部门内洋溢着轻松的氛围。队员们正为我短暂的协助工作结束举行小型告别会。）

PapashaCommander, thank you for your assistance. Thanks to you, our patrol assignments this week were much easier...指挥官，感谢您这一周来的支援。多亏了您，这周的巡逻任务真的轻松了不少呢……

ClaraOh, and you were totes a really good sport about it too. You didn't complain at all, even after being put through a full week of Leader's "special attention" style of patrols.而且脾气超好。被队长那种“特别关注”式的巡逻安排折腾了一周都没抱怨。

GalinaIndeed. You were a great help to us, Commander. And of course, our thanks to Leader Mosin-Nagant for introducing us to such trustworthy "outside help".确实。指挥官您的帮助非常大。当然，也要感谢莫辛纳甘队长，真是介绍了一位可靠的“外援”呢。

(Mosin-Nagant stands off to the side, trying to keep a smile on her face. After hearing the praise from the others, however, there is a hint of distraction and anxiety in the undercurrent of her eyes.)（听着的称赞，莫辛纳甘站在一旁，脸上虽然努力维持着笑容，但却有些勉强，眼神中藏着一丝不易察觉的恍惚与焦虑。）

(She steals glances at me from time to time, her fingers unconsciously grabbing at the hems of her clothing.)（她时不时会偷偷瞥向我，手指无意识地攥紧衣角。）

Mosin-NagantSo the week is over... even though... even though I haven't said the most important thing yet...一周就结束了吗……明明……明明最重要的话还……

(As Mosin-Nagant spaces out, the party ends quickly enough, and the others leave, smiling and waving. Soon, only Mosin-Nagant and I are left in the office. She stares aimlessly at the view beyond the window.)（就在莫辛纳甘的恍惚中，聚会很快结束，队员们说说笑笑地散去。治安管理部门里很快只剩下我和望着窗外发呆的莫辛纳甘。）

(Then, Mosin-Nagant suddenly turns toward me, as though she's mustered up all the courage she'll ever have in her life. Her voice squeaks, presumably from anxiety.)（仿佛下了极大决心，莫辛纳甘猛地转身面向我，声音因为紧张而有点发飘。）

Mosin-NagantComrade... Comrade Commander!指……指挥官同志！

CommanderHm? Is something the matter, Leader Mosin-Nagant?嗯？还有什么事吗，莫辛纳甘队长？

Mosin-NagantAh... I would like to thank you for your hard work and selfless assistance over the course of the week. Therefore... I would like to buy you a drink! There's a bar I visit often, it's got good ambience. Please give me a chance to repay you for your contributions.那个……为了感谢您这一周来的辛勤付出与无私协助。我……我想邀请您去喝一杯！我知道一家过去常去的小酒馆，氛围很不错。请务必给我这个答谢的机会。

(She rattles all those words off at warp speed, as though she's afraid of the courage leaving her if she delays for even a second.)（她语速极快，像是怕慢一秒就会失去勇气。）

CommanderSure. Sounds like an excellent idea. I'd hate to make you go to all that expense, though.好啊。听起来是个不错的提议。那就让你破费了。

Mosin-NagantIt's no trouble at all! It's entirely warranted, actually! In that case... shall we meet at the "Veteran's Rest" on 3rd Street in an hour's time?不破费！应该的！那么……一小时后，就在三号街区的“老兵之家”酒馆见？

CommanderNo problem. See you later.没问题。待会儿见。

(One hour later, I find Mosin-Nagant in a quiet corner of the "Veteran's Rest".)（一小时后，我在“老兵之家”酒馆一个安静的角落找到了莫辛纳甘。）

(She looks like she's been here for a while, because there are several empty glasses in front of her, and the pendant I gave her is still visible. Her fingers are unconsciously fiddling with it, while her eyes are flickering between expectant and apprehensive.)（她看上去已经到了许久，面前已经放了好几个空酒杯，桌上还摆着那个我送她的吊坠。她手指无意识地拨弄着吊坠，眼神时而期待时而忐忑。）

(I call out to her, and she instantly springs out of her chair.)（我连忙向她打招呼，只见她瞬间从椅子上弹了起来。）

Mosin-NagantComrade Commander! You're here! This way, please.指挥官同志！您来了！这边请。

(Perhaps it's because she got up too quickly combined with the effects of her drinks, but she looks unsteady on her feet. She reflexively grabs the table with one hand, while her other hand grabs mine as I reach out to help her.)（或许是因为起身太猛，加上一点酒精作用，她身体晃了一下，下意识地伸手扶住了桌子，另一只手抓住了我伸过来稳住她的手臂。）

(Mosin-Nagant's face turns beet red the moment she makes contact with me. She quickly retracts her hand, as if she'd been scalded, but her touch seems to linger on my flesh.)（手臂接触的瞬间，莫辛纳甘的脸“唰”地变得通红，像是被烫到一样迅速松开手，但那份触感却仿佛残留着。）

Mosin-NagantI... I'm terribly sorry, Comrade Commander! Please... have a seat! Would you like something to drink? You MUST let me buy you a drink tonight! It's a matter of principle!非……非常抱歉！指挥官同志！请……请坐！您想喝点什么？今晚务必让我请客！这是原则问题！

(She practically forces me down into my seat while repeatedly emphasizing that last part.)（她几乎是按着我坐下，反复强调着。）

CommanderAlright then, we'll do it your way. I'll have what you're having.好吧，听你的。一杯和你一样的就好。

(Several drinks later, the mood gradually relaxes under the bar's dim yellow lighting.)（几杯酒下肚，酒馆昏黄的灯光下，气氛逐渐松弛。）

(Mosin-Nagant is playing with the little gyroscope in the pendant. Her face is flushed, her eyes are much brighter than usual, and she's far more talkative than she normally is.)（莫辛纳甘把玩着吊坠里的小陀螺仪，脸颊绯红，眼神比平时明亮许多，话也比平日里多了不少。）

Mosin-NagantComrade Commander... did you know that... when I first left Griffin, I had completely lost my way... It felt like I couldn't do anything other than fight... hic... Then after I joined this place, I had to practice something as basic as greeting the local residents several times before I actually did it...指挥官同志……您不知道，刚离开格里芬那会儿，我可迷茫了……觉得自己除了战斗，好像什么都不会……嗝……后来加入了这里，一开始连怎么跟居民打招呼都要在心里排练好几遍……

(Mosin-Nagant paints a vivid picture of how she slowly learned to settle neighborhood disputes, helped lost old folks, and won everyone's approval. It gets her in such a good mood that she even tries to hum an old military song, but she forgets the tune after a couple of bars. In the end, she's left scratching her head with a dorky smile on her face.)（莫辛纳甘绘声绘色地讲起自己如何一点点学习处理邻里纠纷、如何帮助走失的老人、如何获得大家的认可，说到开心处，她甚至兴奋地想哼唱起一首古老的军歌，但哼了两句就忘了词，只能尴尬地挠挠头傻笑。）

Mosin-NagantHehe... Yeah, I forgot how the rest goes... In any case, while it was tiring, it was all very meaningful to me. It was like... like I'd found a new battlefield, but the weapons had changed to... um... communication and patience?嘿嘿……忘了后面怎么唱了……总之，虽然很累，但我觉得很有意义。就像……就像找到了新的战场，只是武器变成了……呃……沟通和耐心？

CommanderYou did very well, Mosin-Nagant. You managed to protect others in a way that suited you best. That's very impressive.你做得很好，莫辛纳甘。你找到了适合自己的方式去守护他人，这很了不起。

Mosin-NagantReally? Well, hearing you praise me is... ehehe...是吗？能得到您的夸奖……我……嘿嘿……

(Mosin-Nagant gives me a goofy grin as she holds up her glass. It's late at night, she's really drunk, and the bar is winding down. Mosin-Nagant looks at me, her gaze becoming abnormally focused.)（莫辛纳甘倚着酒杯，望着我傻笑着。此刻夜色渐深，酒意渐浓，酒馆里也逐渐变得寂静。莫辛纳甘望着我，眼神似乎也变得异样地专注。）

(She slowly puts down the gyroscope.)（渐渐地，莫辛纳甘放下了陀螺仪。）

(Then, as though driven by all the drinks she's had until now, she suddenly reaches out and places her hand over mine. Her voice is slightly slurred from the alcohol she's consumed, but there's an undeniable core of seriousness to it.)（仿佛借着酒意一般，她突然伸出手，轻轻覆住了我放在桌上的手背，声音虽因酒精而比平日更加柔软，却带着一种不容置疑的认真。）

Mosin-NagantCommander, did you know? You're the bestest comrade... to me, you're the most special person of all...指挥官同志……您知道吗？您是我最喜欢的同志……是对我来说……最特别、最特别的存在……

CommanderAnd you're a very important and irreplaceable comrade to me too, Mosin-Nagant. I deeply cherish our friendship.你也是我非常非常重要、不可或缺的战友，莫辛纳甘。我很珍惜我们之间的情谊。

(Mosin-Nagant vigorously shakes her head to interrupt me. Her eyes are blazing.)（莫辛纳甘急切地摇头，打断我的话，眼神灼灼。）

Mosin-NagantNo! Not just comrades. And... it's not just admiration for a superior.不是的！不是战友情。也不只是……对上级的敬仰。

(It seems she's channeled all her courage into this, because her voice is trembling slightly.)（她似乎用尽了此刻所有的勇气，声音微微发颤。）

Mosin-NagantThe... the reason why I want to be by your side is... is because... because...我……我想陪伴在您身边……是以……是以……

(And at this most critical of moments, the sound of breaking glass and a male voice cursing comes from the other end of the bar. Looks like a brawl has broken out. Mosin-Nagant's brow immediately furrows up. That tenderness which had required all her courage to muster up is replaced by a distinct annoyance and displeasure.)（就在这最关键的时刻，酒馆另一头突然传来玻璃破碎的脆响和男人的怒骂声，一场小小的骚动爆发了。莫辛纳甘的眉头瞬间拧紧，那副鼓足勇气的柔软神情，顷刻被一种极为明显的不悦和烦躁所取代。）

Mosin-NagantWhy now, of all times...偏偏是这种时候……

(She suddenly rises to her feet, her movements swift and sure. Her previous insobriety is nowhere to be seen; before my very eyes is the veteran PubSec squad leader, Mosin-Nagant.)（她猛地站起身，动作快而稳，几乎看不出之前的醉意，瞬间切换回干练的治安小队队长模式。）

Mosin-NagantPardon me, Commander, I'll be right back.抱歉，指挥官同志，失陪一下。

(She heads over to the heart of the brawl, her voice calm, yet commanding.)（她迅速走向骚动中心，声音冷静而威严。）

Mosin-NagantCease this behavior at once! You are in a public place!立刻停止你们的行为！这里是公共场合！

(Mosin-Nagant works with clinical efficiency and surgical precision, separating the drunks and subduing them before calling her comrades in to deal with them.)（三下五除二，莫辛纳甘以惊人的效率和控制力将几个醉汉分开，在控制住几人后，很快联系了同事处理。）

(By the time she returns to her seat, however, the prior mood has been totally ruined by that little sideshow.)（然而，当回到座位时，先前的氛围似乎已被这场意外的插曲彻底打散。）

(Mosin-Nagant lowers her head, utterly demoralized. Her fingers tremble as she picks up the little gyroscope from where it lies broken on the ground—it was an unfortunate casualty during the disturbance, now reduced to halves of what it used to be.)（莫辛纳甘低着头，情绪无比低落，手指颤抖地拿起断在地上的小陀螺仪——方才处理骚动时不小心被碰落在地，整个吊坠已经断成了两截。）

Mosin-NagantHaha, I knew something was off when I stepped outside today... And I messed everything up after all... Even this...哈哈，我就说今天出门时总觉得不对劲……果然搞砸了……连这个也……

(She tries her best to put on a facade of cheerfulness, but the sight is worse than if she'd burst into tears.)（她努力想做出开朗的样子，却比哭还难看。）

Mosin-NagantComrade Commander... It's getting late. Should we... head back?指挥官同志……时间不早了，我们……我们回去吧？

(On the way home, the chilly breeze of the night passes us by, blowing our inebriation away.)（回去的路上，夜风微凉，吹散了些许酒意。）

(Mosin-Nagant walks silently by my side. Force of habit drives her to walk on the roadside, filling her role of protecting me. However, a murky cloud hangs above her head like a guillotine, having drained all the courage she'd mustered on this fateful night.)（莫辛纳甘沉默地走在我身侧，依旧习惯性地走在靠马路的一侧，履行着保护的职责，但整个人却笼罩在一股闷闷不乐的低气压中，之前的勇敢仿佛真的被那阵风吹散了。）

(After sensing her dejection, I gently tug on her arm as we pass under a streetlamp so she stops.)（察觉到了她的低落，在一盏路灯下，我轻轻拉住了她的手臂，让她停下脚步。）

CommanderMosin-Nagant.莫辛纳甘。

(Mosin-Nagant's head is down. She does not answer me.)（莫辛纳甘低着头，并没有回应。）

CommanderYou know... I heard what you said in the bar just now.你刚才在酒馆里说的话……我听到了。

Mosin-NagantThat was... it was just the alcohol talking... You don't need to take it to heart.那个……只是醉话……您不必在意。

CommanderBut I want to hear the rest of it. You said you wanted to be by my side. I was very happy to hear that.但我很想把它听完。你说，你想陪在我身边。我很高兴听到你这么说。

(Mosin-Nagant's eyes suddenly widen and she looks at me in disbelief.)（莫辛纳甘的眼睛猛地睁大，难以置信地看着我。）

Mosin-NagantR-really?! You... you're not kidding, are you?真、真的吗！您……您没有在开玩笑？

CommanderOf course not. Why would I joke around with you?当然，我为什么要和你开玩笑呢？

(I take the broken pendant from Mosin-Nagant.)（我从莫辛纳甘的手中拿过碎裂的吊坠。）

CommanderAs for this... While what happened to it is a bit of a shame, it DID complete its mission by making you happy. Plus, it "participated" in keeping the peace during a key moment, didn't it?至于这个……虽然有些遗憾，但它已经完成了它的使命，至少它让你开心过，还在关键时刻“参与”了维持治安的工作，不是吗？

Mosin-NagantEven if you say that, I...就算您这么说，我也……

(Mosin-Nagant's expression has softened considerably, but there's still a look of regret in her eyes as she strokes the pendant she's holding.)（莫辛纳甘的表情缓和了些许，却依旧十分惋惜地摸着手中的吊坠。）

(After seeing the look on her face, I take out another small item from my pocket, one wrapped in a soft velvet bag.)（看着她的模样，我从口袋里掏出另一个小巧的、用软布包裹的物品。）

CommanderActually, I've got another token of my feelings here. Why don't you open it and have a look?其实，我还准备了另一个心意的证明。打开看看吗？

(I place the little bag in Mosin-Nagant's hands and watch her open it carefully—)（我将小巧的软布包裹塞进莫辛纳甘手心，又看着她小心翼翼地将之打开——）

(The bag contains an exquisitely made pin lying on a velvet base. Its design combines the PubSec insignia with Mosin-Nagant's personal symbol; it glitters softly under the streetlamp's light.)（包裹里，一枚手工制作的精致胸针静静地躺在天鹅绒底座上。胸针的造型结合了治安队的徽记元素和莫辛纳甘的个人标志，在路灯下闪着温润的光泽。）

CommanderI hope this one will be sturdier.希望这个能更坚固一些。

(I carefully pin it on Mosin-Nagant's chest with gentle and focused movements.)（我小心地将胸针别在莫辛纳甘的制服胸前，动作轻柔而专注。）

CommanderThis way, both my feelings for you and your pride as a Public Security squad leader will be united.这样，无论是我送的心意，还是你作为治安小队队长的骄傲，都在一起了。

(Mosin-Nagant looks down at the pin on her chest, then back up at me. Her eyes are moist with tears, but her smile is bright with joy.)（莫辛纳甘低头看着胸前的徽章，又抬头看向我，眼中闪烁着泪光，但笑容无比灿烂幸福。）

(She takes a deep breath and squeezes my hand tightly once again, without hesitating or shrinking back.)（她深吸一口气，再次紧紧握住了我的手，这次没有丝毫犹豫和退缩。）

Mosin-NagantYes!嗯！

(We continue walking back along the quiet streets, side by side. The street lights draw out our shadows and merge them together, never to be separated.)（我们继续并肩走在安静的街道上。路灯将我们的影子拉得很长很长，依偎在一起，仿佛再也不会分开。）

Covenant 铭契

Mosin-NagantGreetings! I am ready, Comrade Commander!敬礼！我准备好了，指挥官同志！

Mosin-NagantToday really is the most wonderful day! From now on, please entrust all protection duties to me.今天真是最棒的一天了，今后护卫的职责，您就尽管交给我吧。

Mosin-NagantHowever, I want to make one thing clear—don't think you can just push me aside by saying things are "dangerous".不过我先跟您说好——可别想以“危险”当借口随便把我支开。

Mosin-NagantI am your most faithful comrade, no matter what thorny briars or bottomless abysses lie ahead.作为您最忠实的战友，无论前路是荆棘还是深渊。

Mosin-NagantI will stay by your side and protect you until the very end of time.我都会永远守护在您的身边，直至时间的尽头。

Important Matters 重要之事

(Since today's a rare occasion of freedom for me, I secretly head over to the police squad's office.)（难得清闲的一天，我悄悄来到了治安管理小队的办公室。）

(The office door is open. Inside, Mosin-Nagant's head is lowered as she diligently polishes her sidearm. Sunlight streams in through the Venetian blinds in a mottled pattern on her epaulettes.)（办公室的门敞开着，门内，莫辛纳甘正低头认真擦拭着她的配枪，阳光透过百叶窗，在她肩章上投下斑驳的光痕。）

(I can't bear to disturb this serene and peaceful scene, but she soon spots me.)（眼前静谧而安宁的氛围使我不忍打扰，但她还是很快发现了我。）

Mosin-NagantComrade Commander, what are you doing here? I thought you were busy lately...指挥官同志，您怎么来了……我还以为您最近都很忙。

CommanderI promised I'd come help with your patrols. Am I not welcome?答应过你要来帮忙巡逻的。怎么，不欢迎？

Mosin-NagantSurely not! It's just... the way you keep spending your time on trivial things like this is... I really... It just bothers me. My squad and I can handle patrols perfectly fine.怎么会！只是……您总把时间花在这种小事上……我真的……有点过意不去。巡逻这种任务，我和队员们完全能处理好。

CommanderWhat, so being here is a waste of my life?觉得我在这儿是浪费生命？

Mosin-NagantOf course not. You being here makes me... it makes me very happy. Super happy, in fact.怎么会呢，您能来，我……我很开心。超级开心。

Mosin-NagantThat said, you ought to be handling more important things and not helping me take notes about disputes between neighbors and helping grannies find lost cats.指挥官同志您应该处理更重要的事，而不是陪我在这儿登记邻里纠纷的笔录，帮老奶奶找走丢的猫。

CommanderSo what do you consider important, Mosin-Nagant?那莫辛纳甘觉得什么才算重要的事？

Mosin-NagantThings like ensuring the Elmo's safe travels, tactical planning, resource allocation...当然是艾莫号的航行安全、战术规划、资源分配……

CommanderAnd?还有呢？

(Her mouth hangs open but no words come out. I find myself leaning forward, my elbows on my knees as I look at her.)（她张了张嘴，没说出话。我不由地倾身向前，手肘撑在膝上，看着她。）

CommanderLook at me, Comrade Mosin-Nagant.看着我，莫辛纳甘同志。

CommanderEnsuring that a precious PubSec officer does not overheat her core from working too hard, ensuring she doesn't get lost while running down a thief, ensuring she knows I'm witnessing every moment of her hard work—don't you think that's important too?确保我重要的治安官不会因为过度工作而核心过热，确保她不会在追小偷时忘了看路，确保她知道自己付出的每一分努力都被我看见、被珍视——这算不算重要的事？

(Mosin-Nagant's cheeks are turning visibly red.)（莫辛纳甘的脸颊以肉眼可见的速度变红。）

Mosin-NagantComrade Commander, you're just trying to confuse me! I, uh, I don't overheat so easily!指挥官同志，您这完全是在混淆概念，我、我才不会那么容易过热！

CommanderOh? Then who's the one that feels so very warm to the touch right now, I wonder?哦？那现在摸起来有点烫的是谁？

(Mosin-Nagant forcefully plasters the back of her hands against her cheeks, so embarrassed that she's about to jump aside.)（莫辛纳甘猛地用手背贴住自己的脸，羞得几乎要跳起来。）

Mosin-NagantThis is... it's because it is too hot today. And besides, protecting you is an important duty for me! How could I make you—这是……这是天气太热了，况且保护您本就是我最重要的职责！怎么能反过来让您——

CommanderThen allow me to do MY duty.让我也履行我的职责。

(I stand up, take her patrol jacket off its hook on the wall, and hand it to her.)（我直接站起身，拿起挂在墙上的备用执勤外套，递向她。）

CommanderRight now, my duty is to ensure my truest Doll companion receives exactly what she deserves... which includes my company.我的此刻的职责就是，确保我最真实的人形伙伴，都能得到她应得的回报……包括陪伴。

(Mosin-Nagant stares dumbly at the jacket and takes a deep breath. Finally, she seems to give in and puts on the jacket I handed her with crisp movements. Her shoulders seem straighter than before.)（莫辛纳甘怔怔地看着那件外套，深吸一口气，像是终于投降了，接过外套利落地穿上，肩膀似乎比刚才挺得更直了些。）

Mosin-NagantUnderstood, Comrade Commander. Today's patrol route has already been drawn up, so please permit me to... continue taking up your precious time.明白了。那么，指挥官同志，今日的巡逻路线已规划完毕。请允许我……继续占用您宝贵的时间。

CommanderPermission granted.批准。

CommanderLet's go then, my leader. Today's "important business" is—to keep you company until sunset.走吧，我的队长。今天的“重要事务”是——陪你走到夕阳落山。

Section 1 第一节

(Mosin-Nagant finishes her day's work in the evening.)（傍晚时分，莫辛纳甘完成了一天的工作。）

(It is still early in the day. Few incidents have appeared in the satellite city recently, and the security department's workload is far lower than it usually is.)（天色还早，近期卫星城没有发生太多案件，治安管理部门的工作要比平时少很多。）

(Most of the Dolls here are organizing their personal belongings, preparing to leave.)（治安人形们大多在整理个人物品，准备下班。）

(The clock's hands align, and Mosin-Nagant is the first to rise.)（时钟的指针指向整点，莫辛纳甘率先起身。）

Mosin-NagantThat's it for today, good work everyone! Let's keep it up tomorrow!到点了，工作辛苦啦！让我们明天再继续努力，今天就先下班吧！

GalinaYes yes, good work, Leader.是是是，队长也辛苦了。

ClaraWe'd get off work exactly on time even if you don't say that.就算你不说，今天我们也会准点下班。

Mosin-NagantHave a good rest of your day! Klara, don't be late tomorrow~一路顺风！ 克拉拉，明天不要迟到哦～

(The Dolls soon disperse as the office quickly empties. Mosin-Nagant nods, satisfied.)（人形们纷纷离去，办公室一时间空荡了起来，莫辛纳甘满意地点点头。）

(On the very borders of her vision, Mosin-Nagant notices a Doll of diminutive stature, still working away at their terminal.)（从视觉模块画面的边缘处，莫辛纳甘注意到，角落里仍有一名身材矮小的人形，正在对着工作终端忙忙碌碌。）

Mosin-NagantComrade Papasha, it's time to get off work~波波沙同志，已经是下班时间了哦～

PapashaAh! Oh... it's already time?诶！啊……已经到下班时间了吗？

Mosin-NagantYou've been doing a lot of overtime these few days. Even Dolls need a work-life balance, you know. Let's call it a day a bit earlier.这几天你都加班到挺晚的，就算是人形，也要劳逸结合，今天就早点下班吧。

PapashaBut... there's still a lot of work left to be done. I'll stay a little longer.可是……剩余的工作还有不少，我再呆一会吧。

Mosin-NagantWe can just leave it for tomorrow, right? I don't seem to recall anything recent that really needs to be finished by today.明天再处理吧？我记得最近没什么特别紧要必须当天完成的任务啊？

PapashaThis assignment... should have been finished two days ago.其实……是前天需要完成的任务。

PapashaI've been too inefficient... sorry.是我效率太低了……对不起。

Mosin-NagantAh, I'm not trying to hurry you.啊，我不是催你的意思。

Mosin-NagantWhich one? Let me see.是哪个任务……我看看。

Mosin-NagantOh, ok. Look down here, it says "projected time". A projected time isn't a deadline, hahaha~哦这个，你看，下面标了，“预期时间”，只是预期就不是死线啦，哈哈哈～

Mosin-Nagant...Ah, I mean, it's alright so long as you finish this by the end of the week.……呃，我是说，你本周内完成就行。

Mosin-NagantYou only just got here, after all, of course you won't be familiar with the work. It'll be a lot better in two months or so.毕竟你刚调过来，工作还不熟悉，等过两个月就好了。

PapashaBut...可是……

Mosin-NagantI'll help you out with it tomorrow... Don't stress so much.明天我帮你处理……你别压力太大。

PapashaT-thank you, Leader!谢、谢谢队长！

PapashaBut... I-I've got a bad track record, it was hard enough for you to transfer me over in the first place. I can't drag you down!但……我，我有不良记录，您能把我调过来就很不容易了，我不能给你拖后腿！

Mosin-NagantOh, it's alright, the bad history, uh... well... things happen for reasons!没关系的啊，你那个不良记录，也算……呃……也算事出有因！

Mosin-NagantThat guy called Robert really is a bastard! Going around and using Dolls like consumables, I'd have hit him even harder if I were you!那个叫罗伯特的人，实在是太可恶了！把人形当做消耗品的家伙，换做是我，只会打得比你更用力！

Mosin-NagantDon't worry about it so much, just rest easy and work here.所以你不要太放在心上，安心在这里工作就好。

PapashaThanks, Leader, but let me try a bit harder. I'm sure I can get this done today.谢谢队长。但是让我再试试吧，今天一定可以做完的。

(As if to indicate her resolution, Papasha lowers her head, looking away from Mosin-Nagant and pretending to start work again.)（像是为了表示自己决心已定，波波沙低下了头，不再看向莫辛纳甘，假装开始处理起工作。）

(Watching as Papasha delves in once more, Mosin-Nagant's smile freezes on her face.)（看到波波沙钻起牛角尖，莫辛纳甘也没什么办法，笑容僵在了脸上。）

Mosin-NagantAlright then, good luck. Get off work early.那好吧，你好好加油，早点下班。

Mosin-NagantOi! Nagant, tell me...(burp)... why do things like work exist, anyway? Does it need to exist?呐！纳甘你说……嗝……为什么世界上会有工作这种东西……嗝……它有存在的必要吗？

(In a bar, Mosin-Nagant tightly clutches a glass as she lays sprawled over a table.)（酒吧里，莫辛纳甘紧紧地攥着酒杯，歪歪倒倒地半伏在桌上。）

(Nagant sits opposite her, contemplating a bright cocktail of several colors, stirring away with a straw.)（她对面坐着的是纳甘，正盯着一杯五颜六色的鸡尾酒，用吸管在搅拌。）

NagantHm... as Dolls, if there was no work to be done, we would never have been created. Neither would the humans continue to maintain us.呃……站在人形的立场上，如果不是因为有工作，我们就不会被生产出来，人类也不会一直给我们维修。

NagantIf you look at it that way, work is necessary, I suppose?从这个角度来讲，工作是有必要的吧？

Mosin-NagantT-then what about the endless overtime(burp)... the million billion procedures... and the daily, weekly, monthly reports... are those really necessary?那，那些无休无止的加班……嗝……还有杂七杂八的流程……嗝……还有日报周报月报……嗝……它们真的有必要吗？

NagantMosin-Nagant, we are seniors! Why're you still asking these questions like you're wet behind the ears?莫辛纳甘，我们都是前辈！ 你怎么还跟小年轻们一样，问这种问题？

(Nagant attempts to snatch the glass out of her hands. Mosin-Nagant might appear drunk, but her grip on the cup is rock-solid. Nagant tugs at the cup a few times, finding no purchase.)（纳甘试图抢过莫辛纳甘的杯子，莫辛纳甘虽然看起来醉了，杯子却拿得牢牢的，纳甘拔了两下，杯子纹丝不动。）

Mosin-NagantDo the problems... go away if you just don't talk about them?问题不问……就不存在了吗……

Mosin-NagantTell me... the administrator... and the higher rank administrators, every time I ask them things, they just tell me "It's up to you" without a second thought.你说说……管理员……嗝……和更高级别的管理员，我每次去请示他们的意见，他们动不动就回复“你看着办”。

Mosin-NagantWhat the hell does that mean? What's up to me?(burp)看着办是什么意思啊？到底是办还是不办……嗝……

NagantAlright, alright... hey! Mosin-Nagant, chatting is one thing, but don't wave your cup around like that!好好好……哎！ 莫辛纳甘，聊天归聊天，你杯子别乱晃啊！

Mosin-NagantThey even made me go deal with a media interview, about opinions on the explosion at the assembly...甚至，还让我去处理记者采访，回答对集会爆炸事件的看法……嗝……

Mosin-NagantThey wanted me to say nothing at all, but still satisfy the reporter. How am I supposed to do that?管理员要我什么都别说，还要我让记者满意，这怎么办得到啊！

Mosin-NagantThis stupid job, I... can't stand a second more of it! I-I might as well go hand in my resignation right now and head to the contaminated zone, to hell with that contract or whatever. Find the Commander, go work with 'em...这破工作，我真是……嗝……一秒也干不下去了！还、还不如现在就辞掉工作，到污染区去，不管那个什么协议这个协议，找到指挥官，跟着指挥官干活……

Mosin-NagantThe Commander would never tell me "Up to you"! The Commander would take me everywhere, to the ends of the earth!指挥官才不会说“你看着办”！指挥官会带着我，浪迹天涯！

(With a great thump, the cup in Mosin-Nagant's hands slams into the table, spilling much of the liquid inside.)（“砰”的一声，莫辛纳甘手中的酒杯重重地砸到桌上，酒洒出来了一半。）

NagantMy hat! Whew, it's fine...我的帽子！ 呃，还好没泼上……

NagantI get it if you miss the Commander, but that contract... It's going to stay active for some time. Why do you think we all had to sit down and accept these arranged work positions?(Sigh)...莫辛纳甘，你想指挥官我能理解，但那个协议……一时半会还没办法解除，不然大家也不至于，只能接受这些安置工作了，哎……

NagantYou'd do well to drink a bit less. Rather, turn off the drunkenness simulation program.你还是少喝点，不对，把醉酒模拟程序关掉吧。

Mosin-NagantWaaahhhh, I don't wanna! I finally didn't have to do overtime today, I'm gonna drink as much as I want!呜呜呜，我不要！ 今天难得不加班，我要喝个尽兴！

Mosin-NagantTo hell with work and everything else!工作什么的，统统毁灭吧！

(Mosin-Nagant allows her whole upper body to rest on the table, as if she would be wholly unbothered even if the satellite came under attack this very moment.)（说完，莫辛纳甘把整个上半身都压在了桌子上，摆出一副就算现在卫星城遭到袭击，也跟她毫无关系的样子。）

(But at this very moment, her terminal rings with a notification. Mosin-Nagant props herself up, sighing as she sees the source of the message.)（但就在这时，通讯终端传来铃响，莫辛纳甘撑起身体看了一眼通讯来源，叹了口气。）

(Switching off her drunkenness simulation program, Mosin-Nagant clears her throat, making sure that she is in a sufficiently capable state before answering the call.)（将醉酒模拟程序关闭，莫辛纳甘清了清嗓子，确认状态调整好之后，她把通讯接了起来。）

Mosin-NagantPapasha, has something happened?波波沙，发生什么事了吗？

PapashaL-leader, we have an emergency on our hands!报……报告队长，这里发生了紧急情况！

PapashaWe found two individuals transporting illegal narcotics and intercepted them.我们发现有两人在运输违禁药品，现在已经把他们拦下了。

PapashaThey kept going on about wanting to see the squad's administrator. I tried to contact him, but he just won't respond...他们一直吵着要见小队的管理员，我尝试着联系管理员，但怎么都联系不上他……

(A ceaselessly lamenting male voice can be heard in the background along with Papasha's voice.)（通讯中，与波波沙的声音同时出现的，还有如同背景音一般男性不依不饶的叫嚷声。）

Mosin-NagantI'll be right there. Send me the coords, and wait there.我马上过去，你把坐标发给我，然后原地待机。

Mosin-NagantDon't worry, it's nothing big!放心，只是小事情！

Mosin-Nagant(Sigh)哎……

NagantBack to work?要去工作了？

Mosin-NagantPapasha just got here, and isn't familiar with the work. She's ran into some troublesome people.波波沙刚来，对工作还不熟悉，现在又碰到难缠的人类。

Mosin-NagantI can hardly stand and watch as my team members run into trouble, can I?我总不能眼看队员遇到困难，还不管不顾吧？

NagantWhat happened to "to hell with work"?你刚才不是说，“工作什么的，统统毁灭”吗？

Mosin-Nagant...I suppose work can come back to life.……工作什么的，重生吧。

(She finishes the remaining half of her cup in one great swig, donning her jacket and pumping herself up.)（莫辛纳甘把桌上的半杯酒一口饮尽，然后披上外衣，给自己比了个加油的动作。）

Mosin-NagantThere's no job too difficult for a Doll this brave! Security leader, Mosin-Nagant, let's go!没有困难的工作，只有勇敢的人形！治安队长，莫辛纳甘，加油！

Mosin-NagantI'm going! I'll have to leave you with the bill, Nagant. I'll make a transfer later.我准备出发啦！纳甘，这里就麻烦你买单，晚点我转账给你。

NagantOk, good luck with work~好，工作加油哦～

Nagant...Looks a little more reliable than before, more or less. Yeah, just like an action movie hero!……多少……看起来更可靠了。嗯，就像电影里的英雄！

NagantAs another senior, I can't be left in the dust!同为前辈，我也不能被落在后面啦！

NagantAlright, time to settle the bill!好啦，准备去结账吧！

NagantThough... this cocktail hasn't even been touched...不过……这杯鸡尾酒……还没动过……

(She stares at the glass in front of her, taking it in her hand.)（纳甘盯着面前的酒杯，将它端了起来。）

NagantMaybe... this is worth a try?要不然……试试这个？

Section 2 第二节

Mosin-NagantThis... is already the border of our area of jurisdiction. We cross this bridge, and we're in another security team's turf.这里……已经是辖区边缘了，跨过这座大桥，就是其他治安队的辖区了。

Mosin-NagantWhy's Papasha here? Could she have accepted a reinforcement request from the next area over? I hope their procedures are in order.波波沙怎么会到这个地方来，不会是接受了隔壁辖区的援助请求吧，但愿对方的手续是齐全的。

Tall and Lean ManYou're just a Doll, you can hold us all here? Where's your administrator?你一个人形，还能扣着我们？你管理员在哪？

Burly ManA Doll should just mind their own business. Who are you to stop us?人形就乖乖干活，还敢拦人？

Tall and Lean ManLet us go already if your admin isn't here, you hear me? You can talk, right? Right?叫不来管理员就赶紧放我们走，听到没？你能说话吧？说话啊？

Mosin-NagantThis voice... the person from the call earlier.这个声音……是刚才通讯里的人。

(Mosin-Nagant follows the source of the sound to find an ATV parked at the head of a bridge.（莫辛纳甘顺着声音的来源望去，桥头的位置，停着一辆越野车。）

(Papasha and two other security Dolls surround two men, forbidding them from leaving.)（越野车的旁边，波波沙和两名治安人形正围着两名人类男性，不让他们离开。）

(Perhaps because Papasha acted a little soft, the two men put on menacing expressions as they continue their verbal tirade.)（也许是看到波波沙的表现有些软弱，两名男性故意摆出恶狠狠的神色，不断对人形们进行语言轰炸。）

(A grimace upon Papasha's face, she moves stiffly as if reaching a breaking point.)（而波波沙脸色为难，动作僵硬，看上去快要坚持不住了。）

Mosin-NagantAh... that doesn't look good. I need to hurry.哎……好像有些不妙，得赶快。

Mosin-NagantSirs, please, do not be so hasty. I'm the head of this Doll security squad, please talk to me about anything.两位先生，请先别激动。 我是这个治安人形小队的队长，有什么事跟我说就行！

PapashaYou're finally here, Leader.队长，您终于来了。

Mosin-NagantYes, what exactly happened?嗯，发生什么事了？

Tall and Lean ManHuh? Another Doll? Where's your administrator?哈？怎么又来一个人形？你们管理员在哪？

Mosin-NagantHaha, I'm sorry, Sir, please have a little patience.哈哈，先生，不好意思，请先不要着急。

Mosin-NagantOur administrator is currently occupied, and I am here to have a look in his place.我们管理员有事正忙着，我替他先过来看一眼。

Mosin-NagantOnce we've noted the circumstances and made some records, you will be free to go.我们把情况弄清楚了，记录一下，你们就可以走了。

Tall and Lean Man...(Cough)How good can you be at sorting this out, Doll?……咳咳，你这个人形，多少会处理事啊。

(The two men exchange a look.)（两名男性交换了一下眼神。）

(One of them scans the surroundings. After making sure no one was nearby, he matter-of-factly produces a dirty cloth sack.（一名男性左右看了看，确定周围没人之后，装作没事人一样，拿出了一个脏兮兮的布袋子。）

(The sack had no fastener, its metal contents giving off a gold reflection under the moonlight...)（袋子没有束口，里面装着的金属，在月光的照射下，反射出金色的光……）

Tall and Lean ManOi, you, Doll. This might be useful to you...嘿，你，人形是吧？这你应该也有用……

Mosin-NagantSir, please be careful with your belongings.先生，请收好您的财物。

Tall and Lean ManYou!你！

Mosin-NagantDo not worry, these are only routine inspections. We will be finished shortly.请您放心，我们这只是常规检查，很快就结束。

Tall and Lean Man...Hmph, I'll give you ten minutes.……哼，只给你们十分钟，看完了就赶紧让我们走，赶时间知不知道。

(The two exchange another look, pursing their lips and moving aside while keeping their gazes fixed on the Dolls.)（两名男性又对视了一眼，撇了撇嘴，走到一旁，但眼睛紧紧地盯着人形们。）

(Mosin-Nagant gives the two another smile, dragging Papasha off to the side.)（莫辛纳甘向两人笑了笑，拉着波波沙走到一边。）

Mosin-NagantHave you checked their car thoroughly yet?他们的车，检查清楚了吗？

PapashaNo... we haven't really been able to get hands on.还没有……我们没能靠近。

Mosin-NagantI watched the video you sent just then. They saw the roadblock you set, and immediately turned around, yes?你刚才发的视频我看了，他们是看见你们在路口设的卡，立刻掉头了是吧？

PapashaYeah, super fast as well! A little bit too suspicious!是的，而且掉头得很急，也过于可疑了！

PapashaWe turned out the loudspeaker and asked for them to stop, but they didn't listen. It took us a while to catch up... The first thing they did after getting off was insult us.我们放了广播，要求他们停下，他们一直不听，我们追了好久才追上…… 他们下来就一直在骂我们。

PapashaThey wanted to see my certificate as a security Doll, a warrant to inspect... I showed them everything.他们先是让我出示治安人形的证明、还有抽检任务的证明，我都一一展示给他们了。

PapashaBut they still wouldn't cooperate, going on about something like "the interior of a car is a private area, and cannot be intruded on."谁知道，他们还是不肯配合，说什么“汽车里是私人领地，不能随意入侵”。

PapashaI looked up the relevant laws and statues on the spot, but no such thing existed. Dolls responsible for inspection duties can enforce searches.我还当场检索了法律和条例，根本没有这种条款，执行抽检任务的人形，是可以强制执行的。

PapashaRight, and just like then, they offered me money! Sardis gold!对了，他们也像刚才那样，试图给我钱，给我萨狄斯金！

Mosin-NagantYou didn’t take it, did you?你没收吧？

PapashaNo, never! They said something about how Dolls just don't get it...没有没有！我没收，他们还说人形不懂……

Mosin-NagantThat's good. Hm...没收就好。 嗯……

Mosin-NagantHow long do you need to search that vehicle thoroughly?搜查完这辆越野车，你需要多长时间？

PapashaIf we were to be comprehensive, about 20 minutes.细致一些的话，需要20分钟。

Mosin-NagantOk, leave it to me. Be quiet, get the inspection done with quickly.好，交给我。 你动静小一点，尽量快点检查完。

(Mosin-Nagant waves at Papasha, putting on a smile and walking towards the two men.)（莫辛纳甘向波波沙摆了摆手，再次露出笑容，走向两名男性。）

Mosin-NagantVery sorry, but we've run into some technical problems with our instruments.很抱歉，我们这里出了点故障，检查仪器有些损坏。

Mosin-NagantDon't worry, though. There are no problems as far as I can see, though we do need to do some bookkeeping. Please, fill out this form here...但是别担心，我们认为您这里没什么问题，只是我们这里需要归档，请您填一下表……

(Papasha, still in place, silently activates her instruments.)（留在原地的波波沙悄悄打开了随身的仪器。）

(A week later—)（一周之后——）

(Work was off, and most of the Dolls have already left. Only Mosin-Nagant remains in her seat, poring over a document.)（临近下班时间，周围的人形几乎都已经离开了，只有莫辛纳甘还留在座位上处理文件。）

(As she moves onto her next file, she furrows her brow.)（翻到一份文件，莫辛纳甘皱起了眉头。）

PapashaR-reporting in, Leader...报……报告队长……

(Mosin-Nagant immediately turns off her terminal, turning around and giving Papasha a bright smile.)（莫辛纳甘立刻关闭终端屏幕，迅速转身，向波波沙露出开朗的笑容。）

Mosin-NagantAh, Comrade Papasha! Are the examination results out?哦！是波波沙同志，化验结果出来了吗？

PapashaYeah!It was indeed contraband.出来了！确实是一种违禁药品。

Mosin-NagantThat's good! When the lab said a few ago that they couldn't quite identify the stuff from under those back seats I was surprised. To think that a Doll as meticulous Papasha would get something wrong, haha.那就好！前几天把人和藏在后座下面的那些东西带回来的时候，化验室那边说查不出成分，我还说，波波沙这么细心的人形，竟然也会弄错，哈哈哈。

PapashaAhh... They said it was a new compound that took a while to analyze.呃……说是因为是新型药品，成分分析花了些时间。

Mosin-NagantA new compound? Ah, it must be a new drug!新型药品？啊，居然是新型药品！

Mosin-NagantTo identify a new drug with only a single look is most impressive. Good work, Comrade Papasha!波波沙同志居然连新型药品都能一眼认出来，这不是工作做得很好嘛！

Papasha...No, that's not the case... I just thought it was suspicious.And it if weren't for you, Leader, I wouldn't be able to sear—……没有……认出来……我只是觉得可疑……而且如果不是队长，我也没办法搜——

Mosin-NagantYou took only 15 minutes to figure out that it was the back seat that was off, it was great, hahaha.你花了15分钟就发现了后座有问题，很不错了，哈哈哈。

PapashaL-leader, is there something wrong? You... don't look quite right...队……队长是……有什么事情吗？您看起来……不太对……

Mosin-NagantA-ahaha, it was that obvious, huh...啊，啊哈哈……有这么明显吗……

(Mosin-Nagant collapses onto her desk as if deflated.)（莫辛纳甘泄了气似的瘫在了桌子上。）

(Still in her recumbent position, she passes a terminal to Papasha.)（维持瘫倒的姿势，她把终端递给了波波沙。）

Papasha...A penalty notice? For me?……处罚通知？给我的？

Mosin-NagantYeah, there's... been a lot of complaints about you recently, saying that you had a poor attitude on duty and were neglectful.是的，说是近期有大量针对你的投诉，说你执勤时态度不好，还玩忽职守。

Mosin-NagantI talked to admin but... it didn't do much good.我已经找管理员沟通过了……没什么用。

(As Papasha's head hangs lower yet lower, Mosin-Nagant quickly grabs the terminal back, beginning to circle around Papasha.)（眼看着波波沙头越来越低，越来越低，莫辛纳甘慌忙把终端抢回去，自己开始绕着波波沙转圈。）

Mosin-NagantThose people might complain, but I think you're great. Look, you work hard every day, and you're always the last to leave the office!他们投诉你，可我就觉得你很好啊，你看你，每天都在认真工作，最后一个下班！

PapashaThat's because... I was slow to get used to the work, and I couldn't finish my share...那是……因为我工作上手太慢，没做完……

Mosin-NagantBut all of the work you did was flawless!但是完成的工作都无可挑剔！

PapashaThat's because... all of that work was actually really easy work, with examples I could follow, except for the relevant resources that I had to take some time to find...那是……因为那些工作其实都很简单，也有先例参考，除了找能匹配情况的资料需要花点时间……

Mosin-NagantWho told you that? B-being able to immediately find the relevant files is impressive, too!谁说的！能、能立刻找到对应资料也是很难的！

PapashaBut... these assignments don't have that much projected time left...可是……这工作的预期处理时长并没有这么长……

PapashaLeader, haven't I caused trouble for you since you've recruited me?队长，您把我招进来，我是不是给你添麻烦了？

Mosin-NagantComrade Papasha! What are you saying?波波沙同志！这说的是什么话呀！

Mosin-NagantThese are just minor issues, no big deal.这只是一些小波折，算不上什么大风波。

Mosin-NagantAnd uhh, how does it go again? There's no rainbow without rain? Wherever we fall, we get up again!而且，那句话怎么说来着，不见风雨，哪有彩虹？ 在哪里跌倒就在哪里爬起！

Mosin-NagantLet's get ahold of ourselves and do better! Let's focus on the work next time!让我们打起精神，再接再厉！接下来好好工作！

Papasha...You're right.……嗯。

PapashaThank you, Leader... I'll do my best...多谢队长……我会加油……

Mosin-NagantUh... then let's, let's have a look back at our recent issues! Find the issue, eliminate the issue!呃……那我们、我们先回顾一下最近的问题吧！ 发现问题、解决问题！

Mosin-NagantWhat do you know of these complaints?这个投诉，你有什么头绪吗？

PapashaNot much, I haven't been out on duty the past few days. I've been handling overdue work... except for—没有，这几天我没出勤，一直在处理延期的工作……除了——

(Papasha looks at the exam reportin her hands.)（波波沙看向了自己手中的那份检测报告。）

(Almost simultaneously, Mosin-Nagant's personal terminal begin to ring.)（几乎在同一时刻，莫辛纳甘的个人终端响了起来。）

(After a brief peek, Mosin-Nagant immediately tosses her terminal onto the table, dragging Papasha outside.)（略微瞥了一眼，莫辛纳甘立刻将终端扔到了桌子上，然后拉着波波沙往外走。）

Mosin-NagantOk, ok, no more of that. Work's done for the day.好了好了，不要想这个了，今天就先下班。

PapashaHuh? But I still have work—啊？可我还有——工作——

Mosin-NagantTomorrow's work is for tomorrow!明天的事，明天再说！

(Forcibly removing Papasha from the office, Mosin-Nagant returns to her desk, picking up her terminal.)（强行把波波沙推出了办公室，走回自己办公桌的莫辛纳甘重新拿起了自己的终端。）

Mosin-Nagant..."A strike has been recorded for this complaint. A neural reset of the Doll will be necessary upon further incident"...……“此次投诉计一次处分，再有下次，需将对被执行人形执行心智重置”……

Mosin-NagantNeural reset...心智重置……

Mosin-NagantNo! I can't let that... I'll figure out what's going on, I can't just let this happen!不！不行……我要调查清楚，我绝对不会再让这种事情发生！

(Her voice echoes in the empty office.)（莫辛纳甘的声音在空荡荡的办公室里回响。）

(Another notification from her terminal soon follows.)（稍后响起的，还有终端的信息提示声。）

Mosin-NagantNo way another complaint has come in this soon...……不会这么快就又有投诉了吧……

Mosin-NagantThank goodness, it's just an email.还好……是一封邮件。

Mosin-NagantThough... it has no sender?不过……怎么没有发信人？

Mosin-Nagant..."If you don't want to see your team get reset one by one, you'd better turn a blind eye to the narcotics"?………“如果不想你的队员统统被重置，就对药品的事睁一只眼闭一只眼”？

Section 3 第三节

(In a bar within the satellite city, Mosin-Nagant, Papasha, Nagant, and Ksenia are partaking in a periodic meeting.)（卫星城的酒吧里，莫辛纳甘、波波沙、纳甘、科谢尼娅四人正在举行定期聚会。）

(Mosin-Nagant lifts a tankard, her expression exaggerated and countenance colorful.)（莫辛纳甘举着酒杯，眉飞色舞，表情夸张。）

Mosin-NagantIf you wanna make money, Ksenia, just talk to me! I've got a few sources, now that I've been at the satellite city for so long. Any profitable position I know of, I'll tell you first.科谢尼娅想赚钱的话跟我说嘛！在卫星城呆这么久，我的消息还是很多的，有赚钱的兼职，优先介绍给你啊。

KseniaBut I'm quite short on time recently, I don't need any extra work.可我最近的时间安排很紧哦，不需要打额外的零工。

Mosin-NagantAw, don't say that, you never know! Besides, you made it today because you've got nothing to do, right?别这么说嘛，万一你需要呢！再说，你今天也来聚会，起码今天肯定是没什么事做的嘛！

Ksenia...……

NagantAh... haha, Ksenia works really hard, she's just taking a break today. Right, Ksenia?啊……哈哈，科谢尼娅可是很努力的，今天只是偶尔休息一下，对吧，科谢尼娅？

Mosin-NagantHell no, there's money to be made while your model's new enough! By the time you're old, there's plenty of time to rest! Go for it, girl! Hahaha.这可不对，赚钱就是要趁型号够新的时候！等型号旧了，有的是时间休息！抓紧努力吧，年轻人！哈哈哈。

Nagant...……

Mosin-NagantHm? What is it? Why're you all silent?嗯？怎么了？ 你们怎么都不说话？

KseniaSo, Mosin-Nagant, what happened?所以，莫辛纳甘前辈，最近发生什么事了？

Mosin-NagantHuh? What are you talking about?哎？你在说什么？没有的事啊。

Papasha...Leader, with how you are today, everyone can figure it out.……队长，您今天的表现，谁都知道很有事了。

Mosin-NagantW-what do you mean? Don't just say things, Papasha!怎……怎么可能！波波沙你不要乱说！

NagantHehe, I don't get these things wrong! Mosin-Nagant, even heroes do not fight by their lonesome!哼哼，以我的眼光是绝对不会看错的！ 莫辛纳甘，就算是英雄，也不会孤军奋战的哦！

KseniaLeader... you're really silly with this stuff.前辈……你好肉麻。

NagantLook, you don't get it, this is called overcoming oneself! Right, Mosin-Nagant?咳咳、你不懂，这叫打开心结！ 对吧！莫辛纳甘！

(Mosin-Nagant finds the entire group focused on her. She puts down her cup, lightly sighing.)（莫辛纳甘看到众人将目光聚集在自己身上，她放下酒杯，轻叹了一口气。）

Mosin-NagantOkay... I get it.好吧……我知道了。

Mosin-NagantIn truth, it's still the thing from a few days ago, the complaints about Papasha...其实，还是前几天，波波沙被投诉的那件事……

(Mosin-Nagant tells Nagant and Ksenia about the incident from a few days ago.)（莫辛纳甘将前几天的事件告诉了纳甘和科谢尼娅。）

Mosin-NagantBut don't worry too much, Papasha! That anonymous email is weird as hell, and it might very well be someone behind the scenes trying to mess with us! I'll get to the bottom of it, no way I'll just let you be reset!不过，波波沙你放心！那封匿名邮件很不对劲，这很有可能是有人在背后操纵！ 我一定调查清楚，不会让你被重置的！

PapashaThank you, Leader. This all started because of me, so I'll help investigate as well!队长，谢谢您。 这件事情，起因在我身上，我也要一起调查！

Mosin-NagantAlright!好！

KseniaHold on a second! Shouldn't you have handed that anonymous email over to the administrator?停停停！不应该先把那封匿名邮件交给管理员吗？

Mosin-NagantJust the email alone is no good. They said that these emails show up every day, and that I'm overthinking it.只有这封邮件是没用的。 管理员说，这种邮件每天都有，是我想多了。

Mosin-NagantI don't have any proof of the complaints being related to the narcotics smuggling case either. No chance the administrator will remove the penalty on Papasha because of it.而投诉跟违禁药品运输案的关系，我也没有证据，更别说因为这个猜测让管理员撤销对波波沙的处分了。

NagantHmm... so there's only one option left—to catch all of the narcotics smuggling groups in the satellite city.嗯……只有一个办法了吧，把这座卫星城里，运输那些违禁药品的团伙抓起来。

Mosin-NagantNot only do we need to catch them, we need to catch all of them. If they submit more complaints about Papasha or other security Dolls as revenge, that'll just be more trouble.不但要抓到，还要保证没有漏网之鱼，不然那些人为了打击报复，再投诉波波沙，或者投诉其他治安人形，那就不好了。

NagantRight, do we have any clues as of right now?嗯，现阶段有什么线索吗？

Mosin-NagantThat's the thing, we don't...……就是，没有啊……

Mosin-NagantJudging by the number of complaints, there's a considerable number of them at the very least. If we cannot distribute our manpower and focus our searches, there's no chance we can make any headway by ourselves...以投诉量来看，他们的人，不在少数，如果不能调集人力，集中搜查，光靠我们，怎么可能查得到啊……

NagantHm... it's definitely a tough situation. Let me think...嗯……确实是很为难啊。 让我想想……

NagantAh... Mm...嗯…… 嗯……

Nagant(Cough)Let's see what the young 'uns think. Ksenia, what do you think?咳咳，我们还是先听听年轻人的看法吧。 科谢尼娅，你怎么看？

KseniaMe? I don't really have anything to say.我？我哪有什么看法。

KseniaThough I have to say these drugs must make a pretty penny. Smuggling in even a tiny bit makes enough money to feed so many people.不过，这违禁药品可真赚钱呀，偷偷运进来这么一点，就能养活这么多人。

(Nagant turns around to find Ksenia swiping away on her terminal, scrolling through online shopping websites absent-mindedly.)（纳甘转过头，却发现科谢尼娅正划着通讯终端，漫不经心地刷着在线交易网站。）

NagantWhat's up with you?你怎么回事？

NagantYoung people need to learn to see the big picture. Stop scrolling shopping websites at a time like this!年轻人要学会顾全大局，都这个时候了，不要再刷购物网站啦！

PapashaWait, Miss Ksenia, how do you know their operations are small in scale?等等，科谢尼娅小姐，您是怎么知道他们运输规模不大的？

KseniaThat's pretty simple. Look, with how strict this satellite city is, if a lot of people were abusing drugs, it's impossible for us to have not heard a single peep of it.这很简单啊。你看，我们卫星城管这么严，要是有这么多人在滥用药品，不可能一点消息都没有。

KseniaBut the relevant case records and news reports are few and far between, right?但是，相关的新闻和案件记录都很少对吧。

Mosin-NagantYeah, our jurisdiction's never gotten any relevant reports.的确，我们辖区从来没有接到过滥用药品的报告。

KseniaWhat are they doing hauling so much in if there's not enough people to buy it?没这么多人购买，他们运进来那么多干嘛？

PapashaKsenia's right! A second... I remember a file... where I recorded these substances' usage, price, and profit margin!科谢尼娅说得对！ 稍等……有一份资料……我录入过这类违禁品的使用量、售价和利润率！

(Papasha redistributes her computing power, beginning her calculations.)（波波沙调用算力，开始计算。）

PapashaIf our assumptions are accurate and the number of complaints are equal to the number of suspects...如果按照我们的猜测，投诉的数量就等于犯罪分子的人数……

PapashaWe multiply this number with the average living expenditure of a resident here within a month, we have the needed profit for the smuggling group to sustain their operations...那么以一个月为例，用这个人数乘上这座卫星城里居民的平均生活支出，那就是运输团伙要满足自身生存所需要的最低利润……

PapashaWe can then divide that by the profits of selling a single portion of the drugs to find the number of portions they need to sell. Then, divide that by the average amount of uses for a person each month, and we have...这个数字再除以单份药品的利润，就能得到贩卖药品的数量，这个数量再除以人均月用量，得到的结果是……

PapashaTo make the figures match, at least one third of the residents within the jurisdiction would need to be using these narcotics for a smuggling group where each member submitted a complaint to sustain themselves!起码辖区里1/3的居民都在使用药品，才能让成员人数等同于投诉人数的运输团伙生存！

Mosin-NagantThat's just not possible.这根本不可能。

PapashaSo you mean that the people who submitted complaints aren't, or rather aren't all members of that group?也就是说，投诉我的，不是，或者说不全是那个运输团伙的人？

PapashaIf... if those criminals aren't at the bottom of this, why would Leader have received that anonymous email?那……如果不是那些犯罪分子干的？队长为什么会收到那封匿名邮件？

NagantWh... what are you guys talking about? My old head's starting to spin.你们……在说什么呀？我老人家要被绕晕了。

KseniaThat's all it took?这就晕啦前辈？

KseniaA little piece of advice, it's good to save up some of the money you earn so you can upgrade your neural systems and frame. That way you won't go all dizzy, and you might even get taller~给前辈提个建议哦，把以后赚的钱好好存起来，升级一下心智和素体，这样就不会晕，甚至还可以长高～

NagantWhat are you saying! Respect your seniors!说什么呢！要尊重前辈！

(Mosin-Nagant stands up suddenly with a swish. Nagant and Ksenia stop joking around, turning towards her.)（莫辛纳甘“嗖”地一下站起了身，纳甘和科谢尼娅停止嬉闹，转头看了过来。）

Mosin-NagantThat's it! Money! It's money! You can pay to have people put in complaints! Didn't they try to bribe me and Papasha earlier, too?没错！钱！是钱！钱，可以买来投诉吧！ 之前，他们不也是想用钱贿赂波波沙和我吗？

KseniaWoah! Someone else is finally coming to understand the pull of money?哇哦！除了我之外，终于也有人理解了金钱的魅力吗？

KseniaCertainly applaudable—but these people are criminals. That's not good.可喜可贺——但这些人是犯罪分子，这可不好。

NagantKSENIA!科·谢·尼·娅！

KseniaAlright, I'll just shut up.好啦好啦，我闭嘴。

PapashaThat's one direction to approach it from. How'd they accomplish this though?这是个思路，可是，他们是怎么做到的呢？

PapashaJust find someone on the street, pay 'em money, and have them put in a complaint?在大街上随便找个人，把钱给他们，然后让他们投诉？

PapashaMost people who live in a satellite city would know what would happen if you send in a fraudulent complaint...在卫星城居住的人，大多都知道虚假投诉会有什么后果吧……

Mosin-NagantPerhaps they haven't been so direct, and approached it some other way.也许做法没有这么直接，他们用了什么别的手段。

Mosin-NagantThough knowing that their operation is on the smaller side of things helps a lot! And from this position, maybe we can try to request...不过，只要知道对方规模可能没那么大，事情就好办多了！ 而且，从这个思路考虑，或许可以试试申请一下……

Mosin-NagantLet's leave it at that for today. Thank you, Nagant, Ksenia! This meal's on me!纳甘、科谢尼娅，今天就到这里吧，多谢你们了，这顿我请了！

Mosin-NagantCome, Papasha! We're going to figure this out!波波沙，走！我们回去研究破案方法！

PapashaYes, Leader!好的！队长！

NagantNow? It's already 10-something!现在？已经晚上10点多了！

KseniaWow, the young sure are lively.哎呀，年轻人真是干劲十足。

(Before she takes three steps, Mosin-Nagant seems to think of something and suddenly turns around.)（莫辛纳甘刚迈出两步，忽然想起什么，回过头来。）

Mosin-NagantRight, we might need your help with the operation on the day.对了，行动的当天，说不定还要请求你们的帮助。

NagantAlright!好！

KseniaNo problem, but if there was a little bit of pay, I might find myself a bit more motivated—没问题呀，但如果有奖金的话，说不定我会更有干劲哦——

NagantKsenia! This really is not the time!科谢尼娅！这个时候，不应该强调奖金！

NagantIs helping your friends achieve their goals while ruining the plans of some criminals prime material for a story?帮助朋友达成目的，顺便破坏犯罪分子的阴谋，这不是最棒的剧情吗？

KseniaWhat kind of random action movies have you been watching?前辈，你又在乱看什么英雄电影啊。

Mosin-NagantHahaha, don't worry! If we can bag those smugglers, we should be able to request a hefty bonus.哈哈哈，没问题！ 如果成功抓获那个运输团伙，我应该可以给你申请到一笔奖金。

Ksenia—Let's step up to the challenge with three hundred percent effort, and help out our friend in trouble!——让我们以百分之三百的干劲，一起迎接挑战，拯救困境中的朋友吧！

NagantKsenia!科谢尼娅！

Section 4 第四节

Mosin-NagantYeah! Looks like everyone's here!嗯嗯！看起来都到齐了！

In the W12 jurisdiction's security department office, the security Dolls stand assembled in a semicircle around an electronic screen.)（W12辖区的治安管理部门办公室里，所有的治安人形围着电子屏幕，站成一个半圆。）

(Mosin-Nagant stands by it, full of spirit, writing in large letters on the screen "OPERATION PLAN".)（莫辛纳甘站在屏幕旁边，干劲满满，屏幕上写着大大的“行动计划”。）

Mosin-NagantAhem, to help out our imperiled colleague, we are all gathered here to—咳咳，为了维护被构陷的同事，大家慷慨聚集在这里——

ClaraOk, we get it. If we don't help her, we're all next on the resetting block. Let's get to the important bits, Leader.好啦我们都知道，不帮她，下回被重置心智的就是我们了。 说重点吧队长。

Mosin-NagantUh... haha... alright, let's do that.呃……哈哈……那我们说重点。

Mosin-NagantDue to the incident with the new forbidden narcotics, I've got the green light. Allow me to unveil the "Illicit Drug Countermeasure Operation"!基于此前发生的新型违禁药品事件，我已经获得批准，准许我开展“整治违禁药品系列行动”！

Mosin-NagantWe've already released word about the operation via the security department's official networking accounts.现在，我们已经通过治安管理部门的官方网络账号，把开展“整治违禁药品系列行动”的消息放出去了。

Mosin-NagantTo make it convincing, we'll need everyone's cooperation!为了让消息显得真实，接下来需要大家配合！

Mosin-NagantWe need everyone to split up into groups of two and split up to patrol various districts and investigate warehouses, as the notice describes—大家按公告里描述的，以两名人形为一组，分头前往各个街区，加强巡逻、检查仓库——

Mosin-NagantOur goal is to make everyone think that we are focusing the entire department on the investigation of possible narcotics warehouses within our jurisdiction.务必要让所有人都以为，我们正在集全部门的力量，专注搜查辖区内可能储藏违禁药品的地点。

GalinaMake everyone think? Is that not what we're doing?以为？难道不是？

Mosin-NagantNot at all! We are doing this to bait them into submitting complaints about security Dolls, and thus triangulate their location.没错！这其实是为了引诱他们投诉治安人形，进而定位他们所在位置。

Mosin-NagantCarina, you and Klara will stay within the office and track the IP addresses that submit complaints.加莉娜，你和克拉拉负责在办公室里，随时追踪投诉发生的IP地址。

Mosin-NagantTrace any complaints that come in and track down their physical location.如果发现有新投诉，就立刻追踪，掌握他们的地理位置。

GalinaBut we can only get a general neighborhood location from an IP. How are we to find them?可是，IP地址只能定位到大致的街区，我们要怎么找出他们呀？

Mosin-NagantYou are correct, which is why we need an apprehending squad.你说得没错，所以，我们还需要一个抓捕组。

Mosin-NagantThey will sneak into the target neighborhood without attracting attention and locate the criminals.在不引人注意的情况下，潜入目标街区，把犯罪分子找出来。

Mosin-NagantThe one most suited for such an assignment is someone from the large-scale PMC Griffin—适合这个任务的，果然还是出身原大型P.M.C.格里芬的——

PapashaI'll do my very best!我一定好好努力！

(The Dolls on the scene begin to chuckle at the sight of Papasha's overly serious countenance.)（看到波波沙认真过头的神情，在场的人形都笑了出来。）

Mosin-NagantHaha, no need to be so nervous!哈哈，不要那么紧张嘛！

PapashaYou can leave it to me, Leader, I'll execute it perfectly!队长把这个任务交给我，我一定会好好完成！

Mosin-NagantI know. Don't worry, I'll be carrying out that assignment with you.我知道。别担心，我会和你一起执行这个任务。

Mosin-NagantThat's it for our delegation of duties. Any questions?工作安排就前面说的这些啦，大家还有什么问题吗？

(The Dolls in the office converse among themselves for a period, and gradually raise their heads.)（办公室里的人形们交头接耳讨论了一阵，然后纷纷抬起头来。）

PapashaThat's it, Leader. Let's do it!也没别的了，队长，开始吧！

Mosin-NagantOk, prepare to move out! Oh, right, Papasha, get ready. We're going to be interviewed first.好，准备行动！ 哦，对了，波波沙，你准备一下，我们先去接受采访。

PapashaAn interview?采访？

Mosin-NagantYeah, the administrator helped us contact the media so the news of our operation will spread faster. You can show up on camera as well to taunt the buggers a little bit to improve the effect!嗯，管理员帮我们联系了媒体，让行动开始的消息可以更快地扩散出去。 你也一起出镜，这样可以挑衅犯罪分子，效果更好！

ClaraWhat—is the administrator out of his mind? I won't comment on signing off on this operation, but he let you stir all of this up?什么——管理员没事吧，吃错东西了？批了这什么行动不说，还让你闹出这么大动静？

Mosin-NagantIt's been ages since there's been such a big case in the jurisdiction, and the administrator's eyes are getting baggy with how many delays we've had to deal with. I just happened to supply a workable thought process, and he has to sign of on it, like it or not.辖区出现这么大的案子，还拖了这么久，管理员都急出黑眼圈了。 正好，我提供了一个还算有用的思路，不想批准也只能批准啦。

Mosin-NagantAlright, come on. The reporter'll be here soon.好啦，快走吧，记者要到啦。

(Mosin-Nagant and Papasha return to the office after the interview.)（采访完毕，莫辛纳甘和波波沙回到办公室。）

PapashaThat amount of cameras was scary. Like a bunch of combat bots aiming their weapons at me...居然有那么多摄像机，好吓人。 感觉像被大群机械的枪管瞄准了一样……

Mosin-NagantReally? I thought you did pretty well.是吗？我觉得你表现得很好啊。

Mosin-NagantEspecially that line, "We won't bow to crime". That was cool!尤其是那句，“我们不会向犯罪行为屈服”，非常帅哦！

PapashaT-that was just me reading off the script, it's the same no matter who does it, I think...那……那只是按稿子念的，换谁都一样吧……

Mosin-NagantHm? Someone's calling in...嗯？有联络……

Mosin-NagantNagant, did something happen?纳甘，发生什么事了吗？

NagantI saw the interview. You don't possibly intend to leave the old behind and go off by yourself, right?采访我看到了哦，你不是打算撇下老人家自己行动吧？

KseniaMosin-Nagant, my bonus hasn't flown away into the sky, has it?莫辛纳甘前辈，我的奖金不会飞走了吧？

Mosin-NagantAhaha... I got bogged down and forgot to contact you lot, sorry.啊哈哈……之前事情太多了，忘了联络你们，抱歉抱歉。

Mosin-NagantThis is some good timing, though. I need you guys to help out with something—不过，现在正好，我有些不放心，有件事需要你们配合——

ClaraIt's popping up, the complaints about security Dolls! It's about Papasha again!出现了，针对治安人形的投诉又开始了，这次投诉的还是波波沙！

Mosin-NagantIn any case, you guys wait at the Intercontinental Railway Station. Talk later!总之，你们先到洲际列车车站待机，晚点我们再联络！

NagantHuh?诶？

Mosin-NagantCan we lock in a location?怎么样，能锁定位置吗。

ClaraHmph, that's easy enough.哼，这还不简单。

Mosin-NagantFound it! The target's on... Milnuho Street!找出来了！目标在……米尔诺霍街道！

Mosin-NagantPapasha, let's move!波波沙，行动吧！

(Mosin-Nagant and Papasha change into cleaners' outfits after doing some makeup, arriving at Milnuho Street.)（莫辛纳甘和波波沙化妆后换上清洁人形的装扮，来到米尔诺霍街道。）

(They pretend to clean the street while staying aware of thos earound them.)（她们一边假装清扫街道，一边警惕地注意着周围的人。）

PapashaI sure hope we won't get found out in this getup...这个变装，不会被看出来吧……

Mosin-NagantRelax your expression a little. Yeah, flatten out your mouth, don't furrow your brow—yeah! That's perfect.表情再放轻松一点，对，嘴角平一些，眉毛不要皱起来——嗯！这样就完美了。

PapashaP-perfect, huh...完、完美吗……

Mosin-NagantPerfect! Now we just wait for them to appear.完美！就等他们出现了。

(Mosin-Nagant surveys the surroundings, finding a few fast food restaurants open on the sides of the street. It is noon, and the streets are filled with the hubbub of people.)（莫辛纳甘环顾四周，街道的两旁开着几间速食店，现在是正午时分，前来就餐的客人不在少数，街上十分热闹。）

Mosin-NagantThere's a lot of people here. Klara, are they still here?这里人不少啊。 克拉拉，他们还在这里吗？

ClaraThey were here a minute ago, positioned on the northeastern corner of the district.一分钟前还在，位置在街区的东北角。

Mosin-NagantOk, let's go take a look.走，我们过去看看。

PapashaLeader, could it be that person? The one holding up the screen.队长，是不是那个人？举着屏幕的那个。

Mosin-NagantI don't think so? Let me adjust the frequencies...不像吧？我调整一下功率……

Mosin-NagantSounds like... they're talking about something related to a "residential satisfaction survey"... or whatever. Probably asking residents to fill out surveys.听起来……他们在说“居住满意度调查”……什么的，大概是在邀请居民投票写问卷吧。

PapashaBut... do they need to be whispering in each others' ears to fill out a survey?但是……邀请投票写问卷，有必要交头接耳，靠得这么近吗？

Mosin-NagantHm... good point. Let's get a bit closer, make sure to stay undercover.嗯……有道理，我们再靠近一点，注意隐蔽。

(The two move closer to a bin closer to the individual, paying attention to their movements while pretending to be cleaning trash on the street.)（两人不动声色地靠近那人附近的一个垃圾箱，一边假装清扫垃圾，一边留意对方的行动。）

PapashaWhat's he doing taking out his terminal? And that smile, ick... makes my skin crawl...他拿出自己的终端做什么呀？ 还有这个笑容，嘶……挺瘆人的……

Mosin-NagantTerminal... could it be... the complaint went through? Is that a transfer?终端……难道是……投诉成功了……在转账？

PapashaLet me increase the resolution on my visual module. It's a money transfer menu, Leader!我把视觉模块的分辨率调高一些。 队长，确实是转账页面！

Mosin-NagantKlara, any new complaints in the last 10 seconds?克拉拉，10秒之前有没有新增的投诉？

ClaraYes, IP located within your area.有，IP定位就在队长所处的区域。

PapashaIt's him, Leader! We've gotta catch him!队长，就是他！我们赶快抓住他！

Mosin-NagantNo, let's not be hasty. If IP locating is enough to catch them, then their methods are hardly complicated. Let's see if they have any accomplices.不，不要着急。如果IP定位有效，那他们的手法并不高明，我们看看还有没有其他同伙。

(Mosin-Nagant and Papasha quietly follow behind them.)（莫辛纳甘和波波沙悄悄地跟在对方后面。）

(After some time—)（一段时间之后——）

PapashaLeader, all of the new complaints are coming from his location. We've followed him all this time, and we've found no other suspicious individuals. It should just be him, right?队长，新增的投诉都发生在他所处的位置，我们跟了他一路，周围也没有其他可疑的人，这里应该就只有他吧？

Mosin-NagantYeah...嗯……

PapashaLeader?队长？

Mosin-NagantMm? Ah! Then.. Let's secure the evidence first. That's quite nice as well, hahaha.嗯？啊！ 那……我们先把证据拿到手，这样也不错，哈哈哈。

Mosin-NagantPapasha, you've recorded the entire thing, right?波波沙，整个过程录下来没有？

PapashaYeah, all of it.都录下来了。

Mosin-NagantLet's go.行动！

(Side by side, Mosin-Nagant and Papasha approach the suspicious individual from behind.)（莫辛纳甘和波波沙一左一右，从可疑人员的背后向他接近。）

(He seems to notice something, alertedly turning around.)（对方似乎察觉到了什么，警惕地向后转头。）

(Observing his movements, Papasha quickly moves to take him down before he discovers the two Dolls.)（察觉到对方的动作，波波沙迅速地一个擒拿，抢在他发现两名人形之前，将他按倒在地上。）

(Papasha quickly binds his limbs.)（然后，波波沙飞快地将他捆了起来。）

(After it is done, Papasha happily turns around to Mosin-Nagant, who is stern-faced and staring at her communications terminal in thought.)（做完这一切之后，波波沙欣喜地转头看向莫辛纳甘，却发现莫辛纳甘神情严肃，正盯着通讯终端，似乎在思考什么。）

PapashaLeader? We've caught who we're looking for, right?队长？人我们抓到了呀？

Mosin-Nagant...Yes, but I'm thinking how we should catch his accomplices.……是，但我在想，要怎么抓到他的那些同伙……

Mosin-Nagant...Make him fess up?……让他自己招供？

(Hearing Mosin-Nagant speak, the suspicious man chuckles coldly.)（听到莫辛纳甘的话，可疑人员冷笑了一声。）

Mosin-NagantI've got it! Papasha, contact the reporter that just interviewed us. Send him the clip of us catching this guy, and tell them to publish it!我想到了！ 波波沙，联系一下刚才采访我们的记者，把抓捕成功的画面发给他们，让他们公布出去！

Mosin-NagantThen, tell them that we've already deduced the criminal's movement patterns using his terminal.然后告诉他们，我们已经从犯罪分子的通讯终端里，解析出了他的行动轨迹。

Mosin-NagantAnd that soon, we'll be raiding the plaecs he's stayed in for extended periods!马上，我们就会对他长期停留过的地方，进行强制搜捕！

PapashaEh? But... if we're trying to catch them, why are we spreading the word about this?诶？ 可是……既然要抓人，为什么反而要把消息散布出去？

Mosin-NagantHahaha—the whole city is filled with our people. They will be caught no matter where they run.哈哈哈——整座城市都是我们的人，他们不管跑到哪里都会被抓到的。

(As she speaks in a grandiose, exaggerated manner, Mosin-Nagant smiles confidently and immediately switches to Level II.)（故作夸张地大声说完，莫辛纳甘露出自信的笑容，随后切入了二级平层。）

Mosin-Nagant...You know how complex the procedures we have are, right Papasha?……我们的手续流程有多麻烦，波波沙你也知道吧？

Mosin-NagantBy the time we haul this guy back to the department, wait for the procedures to be done with, then analyze his terminal—his accomplices will have hidden in corners we didn't know existed.真等到把这个人带回警局，再等流程审批，再去解析通讯终端——这个人的同伙，早就不知道藏到哪里去啦。

Mosin-NagantIt would be better to scare him now. If they panic, they might show some weaknesses.倒不如现在吓吓他，如果他们慌了，就很可能会露出破绽。

PapashaOk... I see.好的……我明白了。

(Papasha puts on a serious face, preparing to pull out her communications terminal.)（波波沙摆出严肃的表情，准备掏出通讯终端。）

(Mosin-Nagant proceeds to loudly proclaim to follow up.)（见状，莫辛纳甘再次故作夸张地大声补了两句。）

Mosin-NagantOh, right, if those reporters tell you to make the administrator talk to them, tell them this—哦，对了，如果那些记者跟你说，让管理员去跟他们沟通的话，你就这么跟他们说——

Mosin-Nagant"If you cooperate, we'll consider you first if we have any more news we need to let out in the future."“配合我们，下回有需要放风的消息，第一个考虑你们。”

PapashaAlright! Got it!好！我明白！

Mosin-NagantHehe, I'll leave it to you.)哼哼，交给你了。

(As Papasha begins to fake a call with the reporter, Mosin-Nagant looks into the distance towards the Intercontinental Railway Station, lightly muttering.)（看到波波沙装作开始联系记者的样子，莫辛纳甘将目光移开，望向洲际列车车站的方向，轻声喃喃。）

Mosin-NagantWe've done... all that we can.能做的事……都已经做了……

Mosin-NagantThe rest, we'll have to leave with the "ambush" we set up.剩下的，就交给我们的“伏兵”了。

Section 5 第五节

(Some days later—)（数日之后——）

(The situation is resolved surprisingly easily. Mosin-Nagant, Papasha, Nagant, and Ksenia holiday in a vacational resort in an area of a satellite city, enjoying a hard-earned break.)（事情出乎意料的顺利解决，莫辛纳甘、波波沙、纳甘和科谢尼娅四名人形，正在位于卫星城郊区的某个度假区里，享受着她们来之不易的特别休假。）

Mosin-NagantSun, vacation, wine! Cheers to no work, no worries!阳光、假期、美酒！没有工作，没有烦恼，让我们干杯！

Mosin-NagantWhat are you sitting there for? Pick up your glass!你们都愣着干嘛，举起酒杯！

Mosin-NagantCHEERS!我们——干杯！

(Mosin-Nagant takes a great gulp of fine wine by the poolside, raising her glass towards the trees in front of her.)（泳池边上，莫辛纳甘一口饮下美酒，面向眼前的三棵树举杯。）

(Behind her, three Dolls lounge on deck chairs, leisurely bathing in the sun.)（莫辛纳甘的身后，三名人形正躺在躺椅上，悠闲地晒着太阳。）

PapashaL-leader's getting started again?队……队长，又开始了吗？

KseniaLooks like the drunkenness simulation is back on.看那个样子，又把醉酒模拟程序打开了吧。

NagantCan't blame her for that. She's been tightly strung for several days with no rest because of the "Illicit Drug Countermeasure Operation".这也怪不了她，毕竟前几天为了“整治违禁药品系列行动”，她把弦绷得很紧，几乎完全没有休息。

NagantUsually, it's good to ease up once you get to relax.一般来说，放松下来了，要好好缓解一下的。

PapashaTo speak of it, did the administrator ever get on you for coming to help up out across the zone boundaries?说起来，那天你们跨区来参加行动，事后有没有被管理员责怪呀？

KseniaWe made up a reason on the spot, saying that we got a call on the day to investigate some illicit trading at the Intercontinental Railway Station in our jurisdiction.我们随便编了个理由，说是当天接到线报，去洲际列车车站查探跟我们辖区有关的不法交易了。

KseniaWe just happened to run into those criminals, and happened to arrest them there. The admin criticized us a bit, but didn't dig deeper.只是碰巧，碰巧遇到了那些犯罪分子，然后碰巧就把他们抓住了。 管理员听了就也就批评了我们几句，也没深究。

PapashaI guess... that works out?这样……也可以吗？

KseniaOf course. We caught the smugglers, and he gets the credit for no effort whatsoever. Of course he's not going to trouble us, he doesn't have the time for that.当然可以啦，我们把运输团伙逮住，管理员收获一个天降功劳，他高兴都来不及呢，自然就不会为难我们啦。

PapashaThat's good... We got chewed out a bit by our admin.真好呀……反倒是我们被管理员挑了不少刺。

PapashaHe knew that some of the smugglers would go to the railway station in their panic and try to leave the city. When you caught them, he was so angry his hat flew off his head.他知道运输团伙有几个人慌不择路，跑到了洲际列车车站，准备出城，结果被守在那里的你们抓走之后，气得把帽子都摔了。

PapashaSaying something about how hard he worked the entire time, but the credit went to yoiur jurisdiction.还说什么他辛苦半天，功劳反倒成了你们辖区的。

NagantSounds like your people didn't know we laid an ambush at the station?这么说，好像你们辖区的人，都不知道我们埋伏在洲际列车车站？

(Hearing the buzz of conversation behind her, Mosin-Nagant realizes that her glass is pointed in the wrong direction.)（听到身后的三名人形聊得起劲，莫辛纳甘终于意识到酒杯举错了方向。）

(Turning down the drunkenness a little, she turns around in a tottering fashion.)（稍稍将醉酒模拟程序档位调低，莫辛纳甘歪歪扭扭地转过身来。）

Mosin-NagantWhat are you guys talking about, sounding so jolly… Count me in~在……说什么呢？这么开心，带……上我呀~

PapashaOh, we're... talking about why you didn't tell your coworkers the whole plan.在说……您为什么没把计划的最后部分全部告诉同队的同事们。

Mosin-NagantOh, that. Because... I didn't know for sure back then, hahaha.哦～这个啊。 因为……那时候，我也不能百分百确定嘛，哈哈哈。

Mosin-NagantThey have a lot of ways to leave the satellite city other than the railway. They didn't look like they were particularly savvy smugglers, but I had no idea if my bluff would work.除了洲际列车车站，他们还有很多方式离开卫星城。 而且，虽然他们看起来不是手段多高明的团伙，但我的虚张声势有没有用，我也不确定。

Mosin-NagantWith the sheer amount of people that go through the railway station, it's hard to pin the smugglers down, and the chances of a fruitful journey there are low—加上洲际列车车站人这么多，运输团伙也很难锁定，这种大概率白跑一趟的活——

(Mosin-Nagant deliberately pauses, taking a great swig from the glass in her hand before smiling brightly.)（莫辛纳甘故意停顿了一下，举起手中的酒杯，灌了一口酒，然后笑容灿烂地看着三人。）

(She only continues when Nagant returns an expectant look.)（直到纳甘回应以期待的眼光，她才接着往下说。）

Mosin-NagantSo—the only thing I could do was count on my dear friends, Nagant and Ksenia!那就——只能拜托我们的好朋友，纳甘和科谢尼娅啦！

NagantHehe, of course such difficult, complex work has to be done by me!哼哼，这种困难又复杂的工作，只能由我亲自出马啦！

NagantYou don't know how much effort I put in to get a passenger list from the station!你不知道，我可是费了好大力气才从车站那边拿到的乘客名单！

PapashaA passenger list?乘客名单？

KseniaWhen you caught the first suspect, I bought a passenger list for the day.在你们抓住第一个人的时间点后，买了当日车票的乘客名单。

KseniaThey got spooked by your bluff, and immediately bought tickets to escape from the satellite city.那些人被你们放的烟雾弹吓到之后，立刻就买了卫星城的车票想要逃跑呢。

NagantWe meticulously checked so many people, using the data from that list.我们对着那个名单仔仔细细查了好多人。

NagantUnder my—ah... haha, and Ksenia's practiced interrogation methods, those criminals immediately began spouting inconsistencies, and we caught them on the spot.那群犯罪分子，在我——啊……哈哈，当然还有科谢尼娅老道的盘问手段下，马上就前言不搭后语，被我们当场逮住啦。

KseniaThen, using the traces of their movement from their communications terminals, we managed to find all of their narcotics stashes.然后，顺着他们通讯终端留下的行动轨迹，违禁药品就都搜出来了。

PapashaWoah, amazing... When will I be able to be that practiced...好厉害……我什么时候才能把工作做到这么熟练……

KseniaJust follow Mosin-Nagant here, okay? We just followed her methodology.你跟着莫辛纳甘前辈不就行啦？ 我们只是按照她的方案在执行而已啦。

PapashaEh? I-is that it?诶，是、是这样吗？

Mosin-NagantYeah! Exactly!没错！就是这样！

Mosin-NagantHahaha, it's impressive to carry out a plan so exactly, you know! You're a promising one!哈哈哈，不过能把计划执行得这么到位，年轻人！我很看好你呀！

Mosin-NagantHow about you request to come transfer to our W12 jurisdiction! You won't have enough hands to hold all the bonus money!要不你也申请调来我们W12辖区吧！保证你奖金拿到手软！

Mosin-NagantYou too, Nagant! Ahahahah~纳甘也一起！哈哈哈哈哈～

(With a weighty splash, Mosin-Nagant plummets into the pool.)（“噗通”一声，莫辛纳甘摔进了泳池。）

(After floundering in the water briefly, Mosin-Nagant frees herself of her jacket, revealing the swimsuit underneath.)（在水里扑腾了几下之后，莫辛纳甘挣脱外套，露出里面的泳衣。）

(Struggling onto an inflatable mat nearby, Mosin-Nagant finds that the glass in her hand has already fallen to the bottom of the pool.)（艰难地爬上一边的充气垫，莫辛纳甘发现手里的酒杯已经从手中掉落，沉入了池底。）

(Looking about confusedly, her visual module manages to capture a bottle of wine laying ready on the inflatable mat. She snatches up another glass, starting to laugh again.)（疑惑地左右看看，迷蒙的视觉模块正好捕捉到充气垫上提前预备好的美酒。莫辛纳甘一把将酒杯抄起，又放声大笑起来。）

NagantAh... haha, I think she's just overdoing it a little with the drunkenness simulation...哈……哈哈，她应该是把醉酒模拟程序的档位开得太大了……

KseniaI'm curious, though. How'd they submit those complaints about you, Papasha?我倒是很好奇，波波沙，运输团伙是用什么方法投诉你的呀？

KseniaThey couldn't have just gone and paid people in open view on the street, right?不会真的是明晃晃地在大街上拉人给钱吧？

PapashaNo, we went and investigated that "Residence Satisfaction Survey"'s website, and found that it was a cover...不是啦，我们后来就去调查了那个“居住满意度调查”的调查网站，发现那只是个幌子……

PapashaIf you select "dissatisfied" on that website and submit it, it automatically turns into a complaint about one security Doll or another.只要在网页上选不满意，提交之后，就会自动转换成对某个治安人形的投诉。

PapashaThe residents inadvertently helped out the smugglers.居民们都是在不知不觉中帮了运输团伙的忙。

KseniaI see...原来是这样……

KseniaTo think of it, that approach... is certainly unique. Could they have used up the entirety of their intelligence budget there? If they had any of that left, this wouldn't have gone nearly as smoothly as it did.听上去，这个手法……还算有点想法。他们是不是把所有的智商都用在这里了？ 但凡分一点到其他地方，这件事情就不会这么简单能被处理掉了。

Mosin-NagantThe administrator says that this is related to some affairs in other satellite cities. He's submitted the paperwork, and we might have to cooperated with some other squads in the investigation...听管理员说，这个事件是和别的卫星城的事件有关，他已经提交了申请，之后可能要协同其他小队一起调查……

Mosin-Nagant...Hm...……唔……

Mosin-NagantAlright, after we're done enjoying these two days of holidaying, we might have to go straight back to work! Well, let's just enjoy the holiday while we're at it, hahahaha!好啦，等我们享受完这两天假期，可能就要开始继续工作啦！总之先把假期过完，哈哈哈哈。

(The three Dolls exchange looks as Mosin-Nagant continues to smile widely, finding the same helpless look on each others' faces.)（看着莫辛纳甘开怀的笑容，三名人形互相看了一眼，发现彼此的脸上充满同样的无奈。）

KseniaYou really can't tell Mosin-Nagant is the Doll on the front of that poster with how she is today, you know.莫辛纳甘前辈现在这个样子，可真是完全看不出，是宣传报道上的那个人形呢。

NagantPoster? What poster?报道？什么报道？

(Ksenia raises the communications terminal in her hand.)（科谢尼娅举起手上的通讯终端。）

(On it is a waist-up image of Mosin-Nagant, dressed in the security department's uniform with a stern expression on her face.)（画面正中，是一个大大的、身着治安管理部门制服、一脸坚毅严肃的莫辛纳甘半身像。）

KseniaHere, fresh out of the oven. A publicity article from the security department, headed by this image.就是这个，新鲜出炉的，治安管理部门的宣传文章，这是配图。

KseniaWell, it's the same old song and dance... Relations between Dolls and humans need to be eased to reduced the crime rate in that regard.还是老样子啦……要缓和一下人形和人类的关系，多少降低一下这方面的犯罪率。

NagantLemme see, lemme see!我看看！我看看！

Nagant squeezes into the space in front of Ksenia, scrolling on the terminal.)（纳甘挤到科谢尼娅跟前，一起翻动通讯终端。）

Nagant“Uncompromising in the face of criminal threats, always placing the safety and property of citizens first, the heroes of the city—security Dolls!"“面对犯罪分子的威胁毫不妥协，将居民的生命财产安全放在第一位，城市的英雄——治安人形！”

KseniaPapasha's on one of these, too. “Resolute against criminal bribes, always placing the safety and property of citizens first, the heroes of the city—security Dolls!"波波沙也有被报道哦。 “面对犯罪分子的贿赂毫不动摇，将城市的秩序和居民的利益放在第一位，城市的英雄——治安人形！”

NagantThere's a photo attached, but... names are all removed.虽然后面跟了照片，可是……名字都被隐去了。

KseniaThe idea is to make people more accepting of Dolls. Which Dolls in particular matters less.毕竟这个宣传只是想提升人们对人形的接受度，至于是哪位人形，他们不在意啦。

PapashaYeah... Though this line really fits Leader!嗯…… 不过，这句话，很适合队长哦！

KseniaThis one?"Security Dolls, special inhabitants of satellite cities, the reliable guardians by your side"?这句吗? “治安人形，卫星城的特殊居民，您身边的可靠保护者”？

(The three look up into the distance. Mosin-Nagant drifts upon the swimming upon.)（三名人形抬起头，看向远处，莫辛纳甘正在泳池上飘来飘去。）

(It is a rare sunny day today in the satellite city. Mosin-Nagant's vacation-empowered smile shines bright, facing into the clear sky.)（今天的卫星城，是个难得的晴天。对着明媚天空，休假状态的莫辛纳甘笑容灿烂。）

(The three look down again, contemplating the terminal.)（三人低下头，再看看通讯终端。）

(In the article, an image of Mosin-Nagant at work is attached, a steely expression on her face.)（报道上，工作状态的莫辛纳甘表情严肃。）

(Nagant smiles, nodding.)（纳甘点了点头，露出笑容。）

NagantMhmm! Certainly a description fitting of her.嗯！确实是——很适合她的评价。

Section 6 第六节

(Late in the day, I answer Mosin-Nagant's invitation to the rest room. Unable to refuse her passion, I partake of a few cups with her.)（傍晚时分，我应莫辛纳甘的邀请来到休息室。架不住莫辛纳甘的热情，我与她小酌了几杯。）

(Glass still in hand, she tells me of her experiences in case-solving—)（莫辛纳甘端着杯子，把一段查案经历告诉了我——）

Mosin-NagantAnd just like that, the targeted incident against Papasha was resolved with my, and uh, Nagant and Ksenia's cooperation, was cleanly resolved—就——像这样，针对波波沙的陷害事件，就在我，还有、呃、还有纳甘和科谢尼娅的合作下，圆满解决啦——

Mosin-NagantSee... after leaving Griffin, I've gotten good? No, mature? Does mature sound right? No, not quite...您看……离开格里芬之后，我也变得……厉害？不对，成熟？成熟起来了对不对？嗝，不对不对……

Mosin-NagantBringing this up with you, Commander... I actually wanted to talk about—uh... I, I...跟指挥官提这件事……不是要说这个的，其实是想说——呃……说、说……

Mosin-Nagant...No, I can't, gotta turn o-off the drunkenness simulation—……不、不行，还是把醉酒模拟程序先关、关掉——

CommanderI knew that would happen...果然会变成这样啊……

Mosin-NagantWhew, ok, it's off.呼，好了，关掉了。

Mosin-NagantOh, Commander, you look like you're in a much better mood!哎呀，指挥官，看起来心情变好一些了嘛！

CommanderHm? Have I not been?嗯？我心情不好？

Mosin-NagantThese past few days you've been so busy here on the MCV, and you're frowning a lot... Has something been your mind recently?这几天看您在基地车上忙忙碌碌，时不时还会皱起眉头的样子……我猜，是发生了什么令您烦心的事情吧？

CommanderNot rea—其实也没——

Mosin-NagantIt's ok, Commander! I won't ask if you don't want to talk about it.没关系指挥官！您不想说的话，我不会多问的。

Mosin-NagantAs a leader, some things just have to be left to stew. I get it!作为领导者，有些情绪只能自己消化，我懂的！

Mosin-NagantAll I wanted to do was to invite you out for some drinks, just like this today.我想做的，就是像今天这样，约您喝上三两杯。

Mosin-NagantChat about some past stuff, help you forget about the worries.我们聊聊往事，让您暂时放下烦恼。

CommanderYou wanted to drink with me because you were worried?所以你是因为担心，才找我喝酒的吗？

Mosin-NagantHahaha, I suppose. Did it have the intended effect?哈哈哈，算是吧，感觉效果还不错？

Mosin-NagantYou were still a bit bogged down on your first cup, but your second had a bit of laughter in it.您喝第一杯的时候还心事重重，第二杯的时候就带上点纯粹的笑意了哦。

Mosin-NagantI was paying attention, you know!我都有好好看着呢！

Mosin-NagantMan, this is nice, to be able to drink with you again... I don't know how many times I simulated this in my neural cloud a few years ago!啊呀，真好呀，能和您重新在一起喝酒……这场景前几年我在心智里不知道模拟了多少次呢！

Mosin-NagantWhen I'm feeling happy, down, lost... Just between you and me, when the drunkenness program's on, the feeling of you being besides me feels that much more real, you know?开心的时候，消沉的时候，迷茫的时候……偷偷告诉您，其实在醉酒模拟程序开启时，您就在身边的感觉会更真实哦？

Mosin-NagantBut I am a Doll after all, even if I am an old model. Rationality in normal circumstances always makes me realize clearly that it's just a simulation...毕竟我是人形嘛，就算是这种老旧型号，理性也还是会让我在正常情况下，清楚地明白那只是模拟……

CommanderSorry for making you feel lonely.抱歉，让你感到孤独了。

Mosin-NagantNo no no, don't apologize now. The loneliness hits me sometimes, but you're the reason I've stuck it out til now.不不不，不要和我道歉啦。虽然偶尔会有些孤单，但您也是我坚持一路走来的动力哦。

Mosin-NagantAnd look at me now, haven't I... come back to you, step by step...现在我这不就……一步、一步又一步地，走到您身边了吗……

CommanderDon't cry.别哭。

Mosin-NagantWah... I-I'm crying? Stupid drunkenness simulation, turning on by itself...呜……我、我哭了？这个醉酒模拟程序、怎么自己乱开……

Mosin-NagantI wanted to make you happy by doing this, Commander...明明今天是想借着喝酒让指挥官开心一点的……

Mosin-NagantCome on, Commander! One more! For our reunion, and for a tomorrow without farewells!来，指挥官！再来一杯！为了重逢，为了不会再分离的明天！

Mosin-NagantHehe, I've learnt my fair share of stirring expressions in my time as security head.嘿嘿，我当了这么久的治安队长，鼓舞的话都学了不少呢。

Mosin-NagantBut I'm being genuine this time! We've got some time left in the day. Let's drink til we can't no more!但这次是真心的哦！今天还很长，就让我陪您喝到痛快为止吧！

Food Tasting 1 美食品尝1

The first taste astounds, immediately awakening slumbering taste buds.入口的惊艳，瞬间唤醒沉睡的味蕾。

CommanderEvery mouthful tastes like bliss.每一口都是幸福的味道。

Mosin-NagantComrade Commander, is it time to report in?指挥官同志，现在需要我向你汇报吗？

About Her Hobbies关于爱好

About Animals关于动物

About Alcohol关于酒

About Gifts关于礼物

About Work关于工作

About Her Teammates关于队员

CommanderWhat do you spend your free time on, Mosin-Nagant?莫辛纳甘，你空闲的时候会干什么？

Mosin-NagantHmm... I go on walks and try to find out if there's anyone who needs my help.嗯……去散步，然后看看有没有需要被帮助的人。

CommanderNow I'm a little curious. Do you expect anything in return when helping others?我有点好奇，你这样帮助他人会有回报吗？

Mosin-NagantNot really, but helping others is a joy in itself; it's already the best reward I can ask for.未必会有回报，但是帮助他人本身就是一件快乐的事情，这就是对我最好的回报。

Mosin-NagantI like the kind of animal that's intelligent, loyal, and able to obey commands. Their fur has to be thick, so that their fluffy round ears are nice to touch...我喜欢那种聪明忠诚能听懂指令的动物。它的毛皮要厚实，这样毛茸茸的圆耳朵摸起来手感才好……

Mosin-NagantThey also need to be big. Yes, they would be able to knock me to the ground easily, but as long as there's honey to feed them, they'll nudge my palm with their wet nose—so cute.体型也要大，虽然容易被它扑倒，但是只要喂蜂蜜，它就会用湿漉漉的鼻子拱我手心，太可爱了……

CommanderSorry to interrupt, but do dogs even eat honey?我有一个疑问，狗可以吃蜂蜜吗？

Mosin-NagantOf course not—I was talking about bears, Commander.当然不能，我说的是熊，指挥官同志。

CommanderDo you get drunk when you drink, Mosin-Nagant?莫辛纳甘，你喝酒的时候会醉吗？

Mosin-NagantOf course not, Commander. As far as I know, my frame's not installed with any module that could simulate drunkenness.当然不会，指挥官同志，据我所知，我的素体并不存在模拟醉酒的模块。

CommanderThen how come your personality shifts dramatically after just a drink or two?但是为什么你喝酒后的性格改变了很多？

Mosin-NagantHahaha, how could that be... Must be your imagination, Commander.哈哈哈，怎么可能……指挥官同志这肯定是你的错觉。

Mosin-NagantA gift that I wish to receive? Yes, I would be happy if you could gift me one of these shiny medals, Commander.我想要的礼物？有的，指挥官可以送我这种亮闪闪的勋章吗？

CommanderOh, I see that you're a medal collector. They're beautiful—truly an ornament that embodies human expression.原来莫辛纳甘还有收藏勋章的爱好。真美，不愧是美学凝结的装饰品。

Mosin-NagantEmm... Comrade Commander, medals are no mere ornaments. Have you noticed the serial number engraved on their back?嗯……指挥官同志，勋章可不仅仅是装饰品，你有注意到它们背后的编号吗？

Mosin-NagantEach number tells its own story, and I wish to track down those tales one by one.一个编号对应着一个独一无二的事迹，而我很想追寻这一段段传奇。

CommanderY'know, I really envy you at times. Despite constantly working overtime, you're always so full of energy.真羡慕莫辛纳甘，即便每天加班都能干劲满满。

Mosin-NagantAre you under a lot of pressure lately, Commander? Is there anything I can help you with?指挥官同志最近是不是工作压力很大？有什么我可以帮助你的吗？

CommanderJust the usual, really. Say, if you ever run into an overwhelming amount of work with no end in sight, what would you do?其实也没什么了，要是你遇到工作忙不完的事情，会怎么办？

Mosin-NagantI would stop worrying about it and just start working. As long as you approach it positively, eventually you'll find a way. Don't you think so, Commander?那就放弃焦虑，开始干活吧。只要积极去做，总是会有办法的。你觉得呢，指挥官同志？

CommanderI heard Ksenia complaining about you taking up her break time with volunteer work?最近听科谢尼娅抱怨说，你总是占用她的休息时间去义务劳动？

Mosin-NagantThat's correct, Commander. With Ksenia's assistance, the nursing home's roof has finally been patched up after leaking for years.是这样的，指挥官同志，在科谢尼娅同志的协助下，困扰敬老院多年的屋顶漏水问题终于得到了解决。

CommanderWhat I meant to ask is why are you taking up her personal time?我的意思是，你为什么要占用她的私人时间？

Mosin-NagantBecause I've assessed that through adequate amounts of volunteer work, it can help Ksenia combat the tempting allure of money...因为根据我的判断，适当的义务劳动可以帮助科谢尼娅摆脱金钱的诱惑……

Mosin-NagantUnfortunately, I can't find any time during her work hours, Commander.但很不巧她平时的时间已经用完了，指挥官同志。

The wafting aroma enchants, carrying away every trace of my weariness.扑鼻的芬芳，顷刻带走满身的疲惫。

The flavors blooming upon my tongue delight, filling my body with warmth and happiness.舌尖的绽放，幸福的暖意随即拥抱全身。

Reforged Glory Ⅰ 重铸的荣耀·Ⅰ

Mosin-NagantComrade Commander, here's the list of procured items from the Ant Market. Please have a look.指挥官同志，这是本次蚂蚁集市的购物清单，请您审核。

CommanderVinyl records, antique pocket watch... Not bad, quite a haul, huh? Wait, what's this "other" thing? You bought something with your own allowance?黑胶唱片、古董怀表……不错嘛，收获颇丰。咦，这项其他是什么好东西？你居然还是用自己的津贴购买的？

Mosin-NagantI should make it clear in advance: it's nothing extraordinary, so please don't laugh at me.事先声明，这可不算什么好东西，您看了可别笑话我。

(Mosin-Nagant carefully opens a yellowed paper box. In it lies a heavily worn, barely recognizable medal. Its silvery surface is mottled with dark stains from the passage of time.)（莫辛纳甘小心翼翼地打开了一个泛黄的纸盒，盒子的中央放着一枚磨损严重、几乎看不清纹路的老旧勋章，银质的表面在岁月的侵蚀下布满了斑驳的黑渍。）

CommanderThis medal... Is there anything special about it? It's in terrible condition for a collectible.这个勋章……有什么特别的地方吗？作为一个收藏品，它的品相也太差了。

Mosin-NagantI found it by the jeweler's stall, right in front of the furnace... Though it's hard to swallow this fact, most medals without an owner do end up on the market for various reasons.这是我在首饰摊的熔炉前发现的……虽然不愿承认，但是大部分失去主人的勋章，都会以各种理由流入市场。

Mosin-NagantAnd in the eyes of the merchants, most are valued merely for their silver or gold, save for a few exceptions.在商人眼中，除了极少数极品勋章外，大多数勋章的价值仅在于其本体的金银材质。

Mosin-NagantThus, being melted down and recycled is the ultimate fate awaiting the vast majority of these battered medals.因此，被重新熔化回收，就成为了绝大多数破旧勋章的最终归宿。

CommanderYou mean, this one almost got...所以，它差点就……

Mosin-NagantYes! To me, medals are the essence of honor forged from the courage of soldiers.没错！指挥官同志，我认为勋章是由战士们的勇气铸就的荣耀。

Mosin-NagantThough broken and forgotten, that significance shouldn't be consumed by the uncaring flame.即便它已残破或被遗忘，这份重量也不应该被火焰所吞没。

CommanderYou're right. A soldier's legacy always deserves its respect, even if it may never regain its luster.你说得对。战士的荣耀，无论何时都值得尊重，即便它可能再也无法恢复往昔的光彩。

CommanderMerely holding this medal makes me feel the lingering warmth of that soldier... and a trace of their unwillingness to accept this fate.只要握着它，仿佛就能感受到那位战士残留的温度……以及一丝不甘。

Mosin-NagantUnwillingness? So we do share the same feeling about this. But what can we do?不甘心吗？原来指挥官同志和我有一样的感受，可是，我们又能做些什么呢？

(I gently pick up the medal from the box and rub its rough surface.)（我轻轻拿起纸盒中的勋章，摩挲着粗糙的表面。）

CommanderPerhaps we can try restoring it. Recover as much of its original appearance as possible.或许我们可以尝试修复它。尽可能地找回它应有的样子。

Mosin-NagantDo you seriously mean that, Commander? Is this old medal really worth the time and effort spent to restore it?指挥官同志，您认真的？这枚老勋章真的值得耗费时间去修复吗？

CommanderIt does. It embodies more than just history; it's also your will, your unwillingness to let it disappear and fade away.值得。因为它不仅代表历史，更重要的是你不愿它消失的这份心意。

(I solemnly place the old medal back into Mosin-Nagant's palm.)（我将老勋章郑重地放回了莫辛纳甘的掌心。）

CommanderSentiments like that are what truly bestows this medal with meaning.正是你的心意，为这枚勋章赋予了新的意义。

Mosin-NagantMy sentiment... is it really that important, Commander?指挥官同志，我的心意……真的有这么重要吗？

CommanderOf course. This sentiment to guard and preserve past legacies is exactly the merit of the medal. You always seem able to unearth these "significances" buried by time.当然。这份守护的心意，正是它此刻最大的价值。毕竟莫辛纳甘总能敏锐地捕捉到这些被时光掩埋的“重量”。

Mosin-NagantVery well, if the Commander says so, I will join you in protecting this honor.好吧，既然指挥官同志这么说，就由我和您一起来守护这份荣耀吧。

CommanderMmm. I'm sure it'll shine brighter than it ever could in a crucible.嗯。我相信它一定会比在熔炉里闪耀得多。

Reforged Glory Ⅱ 重铸的荣耀·Ⅱ

Mosin-NagantWonderful. Bringing the medal to the armory for restoration was indeed the right choice.太好了，把这枚勋章带到武器室来修复果然是对的。

Mosin-NagantLike a slumbering star, with enough care and attention, it will surely shine again.就像是沉睡的星星，只要细心呵护，就一定能重新闪耀起来。

CommanderCome give it a try? It needs gentle wipes.你也来试一试？它需要温柔的触碰。

Mosin-NagantI won't break it, will I? Time has already made it too fragile.我不会弄坏它吧，时间已经让它变得太脆弱了。

CommanderDon't worry. As the old saying goes, time and patience will heal any wound. I believe in you.别怕，老话说的好，时间和耐心是修复伤痕的最好的伙伴。我相信你。

Mosin-NagantI'll give it a try then. Commander, you must watch out for me.那我就动手了，指挥官同志，您可得帮我好好看着。

(Mosin-Nagant carefully takes the cloth, mimicking my movements. She gently wipes the medal's dented engravings. For some reason, her fingertips faintly tremble.)（莫辛纳甘小心翼翼地接过布，学着我的样子，轻轻触碰着勋章凹陷的纹路。不知为何，她的指尖有些微微地颤抖。）

CommanderA little nervous, huh? Let me help you.有些紧张吗？我来帮你吧。

(I place my hand over Mosin-Nagant's. This silent support steadies her trembling hand.)（我将手覆盖在莫辛纳甘的手上，这无声的支持令她颤抖的手神奇地稳定了下来。）

Mosin-NagantThank you, Commander. I think I'm just saddened by this medal's past.谢谢您，指挥官同志。我想我是在为这枚勋章的过往而失落。

Mosin-NagantHad this medal not been found by me, it would have been melted in that crucible. Does that mean the legacy of the soldier it represented will also be lost to history? Does honor also fade with time?如果这枚勋章没有被我发现，也许就会被送进熔炉。这是否意味着它所承载的某位战士的事迹也将被世界彻底遗忘？荣耀也会随着时间流逝而消散吗？

CommanderTime washes away many things—names, faces, legacies...时间会冲刷掉很多痕迹，名字、面孔、功勋……

Mosin-NagantIs oblivion the final destination for all then? Are our efforts meaningless?所以遗忘是最终的归宿吗？那我们现在做的事情不就没有意义了吗？

CommanderNo. Names and legacies might be forgotten, but the spirit represented by that honor will live on.不。被遗忘的是信息，但是荣耀传承的精神依然存在。

Mosin-NagantSpirit?精神？

CommanderYes. That stalwart, incorruptible spirit, and the heavy price paid in its name...对。那份守护、那份不屈、那份为了信念付出的沉重代价……

CommanderAs long as someone still remembers its significance—someone like you, willing to still her steps for the honor of a soldier they've never met—只要有人记得这份重量，有人愿意像你一样，为一个素未谋面的战士的荣誉而驻足。

CommanderThen their honor and legacy will never truly vanish.那样，战士的荣光，就永远不会消失。

Mosin-NagantYou mean... He... still "lives on" because I remembered?您是说……因为我记住了，所以他……就还“存在”着？

CommanderYes. Memory is a torch that need be passed on; and you have just lit one. See, it's responding to your heart... This very glimmer is the proof.是的。记忆是火炬，需要传递，你点燃了它。你看，它正在回应你的心意……这光芒，就是证明。

(I turn my hand over and press against Mosin-Nagant's palm. My fingers curl slightly without squeezing, merely clasping with a resolute yet gentle hold.)（我的手自然地翻转过来，与莫辛纳甘的掌心相贴。手指微微收拢，我没有用力，只是留下一个清晰的、温柔的握持。）

CommanderMosin-Nagant, this dedication to "remember" and this valiant perseverance... are in themselves the most dazzling embodiments of honor.莫辛纳甘，这份“记住”的心意，这份守护的执着……本身就是最耀眼的荣光。

Mosin-NagantComrade Commander... Thank you, for protecting this glimmer with me.指挥官同志……谢谢您，愿意和我一起，守护这束光。

CommanderNot just this glimmer... I say, we are guarding something even more crucial. Something equally in need of being treasured and remembered.不只是这束光…… 或许，我们也在守护一些更重要的东西？一些同样需要被珍视、被记住的东西？

Mosin-NagantYou... you mean?您……您是指？

(I do not answer directly, only tighten my grip around her hand.)（我没有直接回答，只是将她的手握得更紧了些。）

CommanderSay... This very moment? Or... this mutual feeling of camaraderie and vigilance?比如……此刻？比如……这份共同守护的心情？

(Mosin-Nagant's cheeks redden, but she does not recoil. Instead, she looks at the medal, straining to gleam under the light, before meeting my gaze. A gentle, resolute curve then lifts her lips.)（莫辛纳甘脸颊绯红，却没有退缩。她看着那枚在灯光下努力闪耀的勋章，迎上我的目光，嘴角缓缓扬起一个温柔而坚定的弧线。）

Mosin-NagantYes... Commander. I will remember all of this by heart—this moment, your words, and this warmth.嗯……指挥官。我会好好记住的。记住这一刻，记住您的话，记住这份温度。

Reforged Glory Ⅲ 重铸的荣耀·Ⅲ

Mosin-NagantThe restoration's finally complete, Commander. The medal's really shining once more.修复终于完成了，指挥官同志。它真的重新闪耀起来了。

CommanderYeah. Its rebirth is all thanks to your persistence and gentleness.是啊。它能够重获新生，全靠莫辛纳甘你的坚持和温柔。

Mosin-NagantCommander, it's the courage that you gave me... Huh?指挥官同志，我能修复它靠的是您给我的勇气和……诶？

CommanderWhat is it? Something's on it?怎么了？你发现什么了吗？

Mosin-NagantLook, Commander! While still a little blurred... the erased serial number is somewhat readable now!指挥官同志，您看！勋章上被抹除的编号经过清理后，虽然还是模糊……但也勉强可以辨认出来了！

CommanderLooks like we've got a clue on our hand now. Want to dig deeper into this, Mosin-Nagant? Maybe we can track down the original owner via this.看来，这是个关键线索。莫辛纳甘要试试看吗？也许我们能通过它查到主人的信息。

Mosin-NagantYou think there's still hope? Maybe we shouldn't waste our effort; it's been so long, the medal's owner might no longer be alive.真的有希望吗？要不还是算了吧，过了这么久……勋章的主人说不定早就不在了。

CommanderAre you hesitating, Mosin-Nagant? Even just for the sake of this stalwart sentiment—莫辛纳甘是在退缩吗？就算是为了这份守护的心情——

Mosin-NagantI get it, Commander. I'll look up the archive for campaigns related to the medal.我明白了，指挥官同志。我这就试试联网搜索相关战役的勋章信息。

(Mosin-Nagant calms down and concentrates on searching for relevant information. I quietly wait by her side.)（莫辛纳甘安静下来，专注地搜寻起相关信息。我在一旁静静地等待着。）

Mosin-NagantGood news, Commander! I found a follow-up report on a decorated individual. They mention this medal's serial number and its owner!好消息，指挥官同志！我查到了一份授勋人员的近况追踪报道，里面提到了这枚勋章的编号，以及它的主人！

CommanderOh? The owner is still alive? Where is he?哦？勋章的主人居然还活着吗？他在哪里？

Mosin-NagantHe is! It's an old veteran currently residing at a nursing home in the suburbs not far from here.活着！那是一位老兵，就在离这里不远的城郊疗养院。

CommanderA nursing home? Looks like we still have a chance to return this medal to its rightful owner.疗养院？看来，我们还有机会，把这枚勋章物归原主。

Mosin-NagantYou mean, you plan to go to the nursing home together with me, Commander?指挥官同志，您这么说，是打算和我一起去疗养院吗？

(I nod and gently tap Mosin-Nagant's nose with my finger.)（我点点头，顺势用指尖轻轻点了点莫辛纳甘的鼻尖。）

CommanderOf course. Not only will we go together, but I will also bear witness to the moment this legacy you've protected is returned to its owner.当然。我们不仅要一起去，而且，我会为你见证，这份被你守护下来的荣耀，最终回到它主人身边的那一刻。

Mosin-NagantSpasibo, Commander! Thank you for guiding me through all of this...指挥官同志，谢谢您！谢谢您指引我所做的这一切……

(Mosin-Nagant instinctively grasps my hand. I squeeze back firmly as I meet her gaze.)（莫辛纳甘下意识地抓住了我的手，我迎着她的目光，用力回握。）

CommanderNo, I didn't do much at all—this was your wish to begin with, wasn't it?不，其实我并没有多做什么。这也原本都是你的愿望，不是吗？

But now, Mosin-Nagant, there is one task one must carry out: be prepared and join me in heeding a hero's story.不过现在，莫辛纳甘同志，的确有一个任务需要你去执行：做好准备，和我一起聆听一位英雄的传奇。

Mosin-NagantCopy that! Comrade Commander, when do we depart?莫辛纳甘收到！指挥官同志，我们什么时候出发？

CommanderHmm... I still have some tasks to attend to today. Let's go with tomorrow morning. Before we leave, I'll let you handle the preparations, Mosin-Nagant.嗯……今天还有一些事务需要加班处理，明天吧，明天一早我们就去。去之前的各项准备工作，就拜托莫辛纳甘了。

Mosin-NagantTak tochno. I'll go get ready now.我明白了。我这就去准备。

And patiently await for you to join me as we witness the legacy and the restoration of honor.我会认真等待着的，等待着您和我一同去见证记忆、见证重铸荣耀的时刻。

Reforged Glory Ⅳ 重铸的荣耀·Ⅳ

CommanderHere you are, Mosin-Nagant. I've been looking for you for a while... Are you alright?莫辛纳甘，原来你在这里，我找了你很久……你还好吗？

(Sitting alone in the shadows, Mosin-Nagant clutches a bottle of liquor in her hand, with more empty ones lying by her feet. The restored medal lies alone in its box nearby.)（莫辛纳甘独自一人坐在阴影里。她的脚边歪倒着几个空酒瓶，手里还攥着一个。那枚修复好的勋章孤独地躺在一旁的盒子里。）

Mosin-NagantI'm fine. Doing the restoration work with the Commander was refreshing and meaningful to me.我很好，能和指挥官同志一起进行修复工作，对我而言也是一件很新鲜的事。

(Mosin-Nagant tilts her head back and downs a good portion of the bottle—the sharp liquor making her choke.)（莫辛纳甘仰头灌了一大口酒，辛辣的液体让她呛咳起来。）

CommanderWell, I asked the caregiver in private, they said that the veteran passed away peacefully...其实，我私下问过护工了，说那位老兵走得很安详……

Mosin-NagantPeacefully? A soldier who dedicated his life to honor, yet he was ultimately forgotten by the world and passed away all alone.安详吗？一个为了荣耀付出一生的战士，最后就这样被世界遗忘，一个人孤零零地离开。

Mosin-NagantCommander, do you still remember my question: everything we did—finding it, restoring it—what was the point at the end of the day?指挥官同志您还记得，我之前的问题吗：我们所做的一切——找到它，修复它，究竟有什么意义？

Mosin-NagantNo matter how bright and gleaming his medal looks now, it will always be overshadowed by his fate of being forgotten by the world! The honor and glory I looked up to was nothing but wishful thinking.那位老兵他的勋章再亮，也没能照亮他被所有人遗忘的结局！而我所憧憬的荣耀，果然只是一厢情愿罢了。

CommanderIs that really so? From what I know, someone did overcome time and oblivion.真是这样的吗？据我所知，可是有一个人跨越了时间和遗忘的尘埃。

CommanderIn front of a crucible, someone stilled her steps for a soldier they've never met, pouring all her care and persistence into a broken medal.在一个熔炉前，为一个素未谋面的战士驻足。为一枚残破的勋章倾注了所有的心血和执着。

(I take the bottle from her and drape my coat over her chilling shoulders.)（我接过她手中的酒瓶，顺势将外套披在她冰冷的肩膀上。）

Mosin-NagantBut, I wasn't able to do anything...可是，我什么都没能做到……

CommanderYou protected it. You made it shine once again. And more importantly...你守护了它，你让它重新闪耀。更重要的是……

CommanderYou saved a symbol from being swallowed by the crucible and gave it back its name and story.你让一个差点被熔炉吞噬的符号，重新拥有了名字和故事。

CommanderThat veteran is no longer a cold, hard name lying in the nursing home's uncaring files. Because of you, his honor has been rejuvenated.这位老兵不再是疗养院档案里一个冰冷的名字。因为你，这份荣耀获得了新生。

(I close in on Mosin-Nagant and support her as she struggles to stand up. Her eyelashes seem damp while her lips carry a faint scent of alcohol.)（我靠近莫辛纳甘，支撑着有些摇摇欲坠的她。她的睫毛似乎有些湿润了，唇边也带着淡淡的酒气。）

Mosin-NagantCommander, I... I just...指挥官，我……我只是……

CommanderIt's not "just". Remember: history does not vanish, it only falls into a deep slumber.没有“只是”。记住，历史不会湮灭，只是沉睡。

CommanderAnd, there will always be people as stubborn as you that will, at the right moment, unearth it like a treasure to wake it again—just like how you found this medal.总会有像你一样执着的人，在特定的时刻，像发掘珍宝一样，将它重新唤醒。就像你找到了这枚勋章。

Mosin-NagantThank you for telling me all this, Commander... Thank you for being here...指挥官同志，谢谢你告诉我这一切……谢谢你还在这里……

(Mosin-Nagant's body stiffens, followed by a softness leaning into me. Without hesitation, I open my arms and embrace her completely, resting my chin lightly on her hair.)（莫辛纳甘的身体瞬间绷紧，随即，巨大的柔软向我靠近。我毫不犹豫地收紧双臂，将她完全拥入怀中，下巴轻轻抵着她的发顶。）

CommanderI've always been here, and I will always be here.我一直都在。以后也会在。

Mosin-NagantIf one day... I too am forgotten by everyone... Will you still remember me?如果有一天……我也被所有人遗忘……您会记住我吗？

CommanderNo.不会。

CommanderI won't allow that to happen. Mosin-Nagant—your name, your honor, even every tear of yours... They are engraved in my heart.我不会允许那种事发生。莫辛纳甘，你的名字、你的荣耀、你的每一滴眼泪……都刻在我这里。

CommanderAs long as I remain, you will never be forgotten.只要我还在，你就永远不会被遗忘。

(Mosin-Nagant stays silent. She squeezes me back with all her strength, burying her warm cheek deep in my chest. Beside us, that once-lonely medal gleams again with an everlasting warmth and shine.)（莫辛纳甘没有说话，只是用尽全身力气回抱住我，将滚烫的脸颊深深埋进我的颈窝。在我们身边，那枚曾经孤独的勋章，重新焕发出温暖而永恒的光芒。）

With a single bite, their freshness blooms upon the palate.一口下去，食材的鲜味在口中绽放。

Kitchen Chat 3 厨房闲谈3

Mosin-NagantI added a bit of special seasoning to the dish. This won't upset your stomach, right?我在菜里加了点特殊调料，这不会吃坏肚子吧？

I'm actually a pro!我可是滑雪高手！

Natural ski resorts are a rare sight these days.可惜找不到天然雪场了。

Mosin-NagantAre you more familiar with snowboarding or alpine skiing?指挥官同志，你是擅长滑单板还是双板？

CommanderSnowboarding puts emphasis on your body's posture and balance; it's especially hard to overcome the fear when you start falling like a drifting leaf.单板侧重侧身站立，难点在于克服落叶飘时的恐惧心理。

CommanderAlpine skiing emphasizes keeping both skis in control and constantly managing your shifting center of gravity.双板则强调双板平行，时刻把握住重心后移。

Mosin-NagantCould you teach me how to ski, Commander?指挥官同志，你可以教我滑雪吗？

Mosin-NagantThat's indeed unfortunate—which is why I can only study the theoretical knowledge now.太可惜了，所以我也只能学习一些相关的理论知识。

CommanderNo problem, I can order a snow machine. Indoor skiing can be fun too.没关系，我去订购一台人工降雪机。室内滑雪也是很有趣的。

Recommend a survival/simulation game.推荐模拟生存类游戏。

Mosin-NagantWhat you mean is, even during break, I still have to rack my brain to come up with the most efficient plan...所以我在休息的时候，还需要绞尽脑汁地总结出最高效的行动方案……

Mosin-NagantCollecting resources through repetitive tasks just to methodically achieve one preset objective after another?通过重复的操作收集资源，只是为了按部就班地达成一个个既定目标？

Mosin-NagantI have one question, Commander: why don't I just get a job instead?我有一个疑问，指挥官同志，我为什么不直接去上班呢？

Mosin-NagantAs you said, Commander, the goal of these games is to simulate the feel of real firearms.指挥官同志，如你所说这类游戏就是通过模拟枪械的真实反馈。

Mosin-NagantFeel free to leave tasks similar to me in the future! Hahaha!以后类似的工作，尽管交给我！哈哈哈哈！

Mosin-NagantIn this environment, everyone will...在这种环境里，大家应该都……

Mosin-NagantUgh, I keep doing this, it means I haven't grown at all since then!哎，这样的话，比起那时，根本没有长进嘛！

Affinity Records 契合度记录

Record 1In Griffin, the elite Tactical Doll codenamed Mosin-Nagant was well-known for her marksmanship. While she had great pride in her pedigree, she was secretly worried about the age of her frame. When Griffin was restructured, her fear of being rejected led her to choose reassignment to a different position. As a result, she joined POL-03's Department of Public Security, where she adopted her former codename as her new name. Despite her sunny, cheerful attitude and straightforward way of speaking, Mosin-Nagant is actually a highly rational Doll, to the point of being a pessimist at times. Her lively imagination often leads her to overcomplicate simple issues and lose herself in exploring potential worst-case scenarios. In addition, her long service record in combat assignments has made her clumsy and inept at interpersonal relationships. There was a period when her new role as a public security Doll almost crushed her with despair, and the nigh-unbearable stress of her position caused her to lose her way for a while. Drowning her sorrows with alcohol was a regular occurrence during that period. However, the part of Mosin-Nagant that delighted in helping people and giving her all never once changed. After seeing a Doll colleague of hers being reset, Mosin-Nagant finally pulled herself together and decided to confront her problems head-on. She changed her attitude and actively worked to better her situation, even if the work was thankless and arduous. Her habit of overthinking things helped her deal calmly with unexpected developments, and her diligence meant that she handled even the smallest details with the utmost care. Eventually, her outstanding skills and unflagging determination won her the trust and respect of her new colleagues. Even after becoming the leader of a PubSec squad, the specter of "negativity" occasionally rears its ugly head in Mosin-Nagant's neural cloud. Despite that, she continues inspiring the people around her with her cheerful smile and passionate actions.原代号莫辛-纳甘，前格里芬的精英人形，以精准的射击能力而被大家熟知。格里芬重组后，怀着对自身血统的骄傲，却也因自身型号老旧而暗自担忧——她害怕被拒绝，最终选择接受安置，加入了POL-03城市治安管理部门，并将代号正式作为自己的新名字。 尽管她看上去阳光开朗，说话直率，实际上是一个非常理智甚至有些消极的人形。跳跃的思维常让她把简单的问题想得太过复杂，以至于堕入最坏状况的假想之中。而长期专注于战斗的经历，也使她在人际交往方面显得生疏笨拙。治安人形的新身份一度给她带来灾难性的绝望，无法适应的压力让她一度陷入迷茫，以至于借酒消愁成为了那段时间的常态。 然而，莫辛纳甘骨子里那份乐于助人、全力以赴的底色从未改变。 在目睹认识的人形同伴遭遇重置后，莫辛纳甘终于重新打起精神，正视问题，转变态度，哪怕吃力不讨好，也先积极地行动起来。总是“想太多”的习惯，令她面对突发事件更加镇定，认真到底的品质则让她从不敷衍任何一件小事。凭借出色的能力与坚持，莫辛纳甘逐渐赢得了新伙伴的信任与认可。 即便成为治安小队队长后，莫辛纳甘心智深处偶尔还会出现“消极”的想法，但她始终以开朗的笑容和热心的行动鼓舞着身边的每一个人。

Record 2Mosin-Nagant stared hard at the "Griffin Restructuring: Personnel Intent Form". Her fingers unconsciously pinched at the edges of the paper. "It's okay, it's okay..." she muttered, like she was trying to encourage herself. "Staying in Griffin shouldn't be a problem. I mean, I meet all the requirements for it." Her confidence grew as she spoke, until she clenched her fist and punched the air, as though victory was within her grasp. Then she picked up an old coin from the table and flicked it lightly into the air— —Hang on. Before the coin could even reach the apex of its journey, her expression had frozen solid. "I meet the requirements... but only just, right?" Her brow furrowed as she stared at the coin spinning end over end in mid-air. "My frame isn't the latest model, and there are many comrades in Griffin who are more capable than me... If I were in charge of hiring, I'd definitely pick someone who was a better return on their investment." Mosin-Nagant tried to catch the falling coin, but due to her distraction, it slipped between her fingers with a sharp clink and skittered under the table. "(Groan) I can't even catch a coin..." Mosin-Nagant bent down and felt around on the floor, a bitter smile on her face. "Should I go get my manual dexterity recalibrated?" After picking up the coin, Mosin-Nagant remained crouched below the table, her face shrouded in shadows. Her voice grew quieter as she spoke. "What if I don't get any of my backup options after missing my first pick?" Mosin-Nagant suddenly bolted upright, her eyes as wide as saucers. "—What if I can't even get a job at all?!" She began pacing around the room, her footsteps growing more and more frantic. "What if, and I'm saying IF... what if the Reassignment Department doesn't want me either? Will I really end up as a roadsweeper?" She suddenly froze and grabbed her face. "...And what if they aren't looking for roadsweepers? I'll become an unemployed drifter... That would be a total disgrace." Mosin-Nagant slumped into her chair, like all the strength had gone out of her. She stared blankly at the form for a long time. In the end, she picked up the pen and forcefully ticked the box marked "Reassignment". As she filled out the rest of the form, she tried her best to console herself. "PubSec isn't all that bad! I mean, patrols are just another form of combat missions... I guess?" Mosin-Nagant put down her pen and forced herself to smile. "Yeah! It'll be fine! I'll be okay even if I'm not on the battlefield!"莫辛纳甘盯着手里《格里芬重组意向申请表》，指尖无意识捻着纸张边缘。 “没问题的、没问题……” 她小声念叨着，像是要给自己打气，“我的各项指标都符合标准，留在格里芬应该是很稳妥的。”她越说越确信，甚至用力挥了一下拳头，仿佛胜利在望。随后，她轻松地从桌上拾起那枚老旧硬币，愉快地向上一弹—— ——等等。 硬币还没升到最高点，她的表情忽然僵住了。 “符合标准……也只是符合标准而已吧？”，她盯着空中那枚旋转的硬币，眉头逐渐紧锁，“我的型号并非新型，格里芬里比我优秀的同志到处都是……如果我是组织的人，肯定要选性价比更高的人选。” 莫辛纳甘伸手想去接，却因为心神不宁，“啪”地一声，硬币从指间滑落，滚进了桌底。 “哈，连硬币都接不住了……”莫辛纳甘蹲下身子，苦笑着在桌底摸索，“是不是真的该申请调试灵敏度了？”捡起硬币，莫辛纳甘仍蹲在桌底的阴影中，声音越来越低：“要是第一志愿被刷了，会不会连分配名额都轮不到？” 莫辛纳甘突然站起来，眼睛睁得圆圆的。 “——我该不会最后连个工作都找不到吧？！” 莫辛纳甘开始在房间里来回踱步，越走越快。 “万一，我是说万一……安置部门也不肯接受我怎么办？难道真要去扫大街？”她突然停住，捂住脸，“……说不定连扫大街的岗位都满了呢？那不成了无业游民……太丢人了吧。” 像是一下子被抽走了力气，莫辛纳甘瘫坐回椅子上，对着申请表发了好一会呆。 最终，她还是认命似的抓起了笔，用力地在“接受安置”一栏打了勾，一边填写，一边努力安慰自己。 “治安管理部门也挺好的！巡逻嘛，也是另一种形式的战术任务……大概吧！” 莫辛纳甘放下笔，挤出一个大大的、勉强的笑容。 “嗯！没关系的，就算不在战场，我也一定没问题！”

Record 3The beer was bitter, but not as bitter as how she was feeling. While she knew working in PubSec wasn't going to be easy, she hadn't expected it to be this hard. Mosin-Nagant muttered to herself, "When I greet them, they ignore me. When I make suggestions, they don't care. When I comment on something, they tell me to shut up. When I keep quiet, they say I have a bad attitude... Why is it so hard to work with the people around here?" Fortunately, the bar was always open to her. While the people here weren't very sociable either, at the very least you could pay for basic respect—be it a drink or blessed silence. Unfortunately, someone was bothering her even in her isolated little corner. "Hey you—" a thuggish voice slurred, interrupting her thoughts. The speaker thumped on her table. "Go somewhere else." How many times had she been asked to move already tonight? Mosin-Nagant had lost count. Anger blazed up in her heart, but after remembering the locals' attitude towards Dolls, she picked up her glass and retreated to an even darker corner. Just as she was about to order another drink, she saw the patron from before standing in front of her on unsteady feet. Reeking of alcohol, he slammed a crudely made beer mug down in front of her— "Dincha hear me? Get lost!" The drunk jabbed a finger at Mosin-Nagant, almost touching her nose. In that moment, all the unfair treatment she had endured over the past few days merged with the sense of powerlessness that came from being told that everything she did was wrong. When that happened, something inside her snapped. She didn't look up, only stared hard at the beer that had splashed out of the mug and onto the table. Her reply was not loud, but it was incredibly clear, filled with a cold hardness she didn't even realize. "No." The drunk didn't seem to have heard her, or perhaps he hadn't expected a reply like that from her. "Say what?" Mosin-Nagant suddenly jerked her head up and stared straight into his eyes. "I said, no. This is MY place. If you wanted it, you should have come earlier." A cold, choking silence began spreading through the bar. Clearly the drunk had not expected the girl who had always yielded in the past to stand her ground. After cursing under his breath, he actually stumbled away. With the crisis averted, Mosin-Nagant leaned back into her chair as all the strength fled her body. What she didn't expect was that the barkeep, who usually never said anything to anyone at any time, silently handed her a fresh mug of beer. "On the house." The man was as taciturn as ever, but he nodded to her. She took her time downing that beer. Like a pebble tossed into a stagnant pond, that little victory had sent faint ripples through her heart. Could she actually change herself? Mosin-Nagant held that feeling in her heart as she returned to her squad. She tried to infuse this freshly sprouted courage into her daily life. It showed itself in things like a greeting that was more confident than usual, or more sincere suggestions. However, the response was her colleagues' ever-unreadable faces... and their stone walls of silence. ...It would seem melting this ice would take quite a while.苦酒入喉心作痛。 虽说早就预想过治安管理工作不会轻松，却也没想到会艰难至此。 莫辛纳甘小声嘀咕：“打招呼被无视，提建议也没人理会。多说两句嫌你啰嗦，说少了又抱怨态度差……这个地方的人怎么这么难相处？” 好在，还有酒馆可去。 虽说这儿的人也谈不上多亲切，但至少付钱就能换来最基本的尊重——哪怕只是一杯酒或是片刻清静。 只可惜，就连这样的小角落，也总有人打扰。 “你——”一个粗鲁的声音打断了她的思绪，对方用手指敲着她的桌面，“换个地方坐。” 这已经是第几次被要求换座了？莫辛纳甘记不清了。她心里愤懑，但想到这个地区对人形的态度，一声不吭地端着酒杯缩向更暗的角落。 她正打算再叫一杯酒，一个摇摇晃晃的身影就堵在了她桌前。浓重的酒气扑面而来，一只粗糙的啤酒杯“咚”地砸在她的面前—— “听见没？让开！”醉汉手指几乎戳到莫辛纳甘的鼻尖。 就在这一瞬间，连日来的委屈、还有那种无论怎么做都是错的无力感，像一根被拉到极致的弦，猛地断裂。 她没有抬头，只是看着桌上那摊洒出来的酒渍，声音不高，却异常清晰，带着一种她自己都未曾察觉的冷硬：“不。” 醉汉似乎没听清，或者说根本没料到会得到这个答复：“什么？” 莫辛纳甘猛然抬起头，目光迎上对方： “我说该离开的是你，这是我的座位，想坐，就应该早点来。” 一阵短暂而令人窒息的沉默开始在酒馆蔓延开来。醉汉显然没料到这个总是退让的姑娘会突然变得强硬，嘟囔了几句脏话，竟真的悻悻走开了。 危机解除，莫辛纳甘几乎脱力地靠回座位。 更让她没想到的是，那位平时几乎不说话的酒馆老板，默默推来一杯新的啤酒。 “请你。”对方依旧寡言，却朝她轻轻点了点头。 那一杯酒，她喝得很慢。 这一次的小小“胜利”，像一颗投入死水的石子，在她心中漾开微弱的涟漪。 改变，也许真的有用？ 莫辛纳甘抱着这样的希望回到治安小队，试图把这份刚刚萌芽的勇气带入日常——哪怕只是一句更坚定的问候、一次更坦诚的提议。 可迎接她的，仍然是同事们那张张看不出情绪的脸……以及爱答不理的沉默。 ……看来，要融化坚冰，还需要很长的时间啊。

Record 4Mosin-Nagant stared at the ceiling, her body spinning freely in her office chair. Her neural cloud replayed her conversation with her new friends at the bar last night— "Hiiii! Over here, Mosin-Nagant!" "My name's Chelsea, and this is Flinn. Thanks for that intel you gave us a couple of days ago!" "Yeah, yeah! We've been searching for those guys for a really long time. Thanks to you, we managed to take them in. I heard you used to serve with Griffin. Mind telling us your story?" "Oh, and feel free to come talk with us more often in the future, not just today. The other Dolls from your precinct aren't exactly great conversationalists." ... For a moment, the hubbub around Mosin-Nagant made her imagine that she was back in Griffin, surrounded by her buddies. Talking and being around others really did warm the heart. Mosin-Nagant couldn't help but wonder how lovely it would be if her own squad were like that. However, her repeated attempts to pierce the wall of silence around her chief and colleagues had met with failure time and time again. "Less talk, more work!" "As a Doll, I expect you to listen to on-site directions and behave as the Guidelines dictate. No going off and doing your own thing, got that?!" "But..." "No buts! Didn't you hear the chief? Mind your own business and stay in your lane." ... With her passion and sense of duty crushed by reprimands and regulations, Mosin-Nagant felt more lost and frustrated than ever before. In the end, she chose to run away— She ran from the fire that pulsed in the bottom of her heart. She ran from the ever-mounting complaints in her precinct. She ran from all the responsibilities that weren't hers. Even when Chelsea begged her for help, she hesitated, and then ran from that as well. Mosin-Nagant consoled herself. "It would be fine," she thought. "The real problem would be recklessly interfering in the affairs of a neighboring precinct..." Mosin-Nagant thought she would run away forever. At least, until she went to the bar for her usual meeting with the others. The look in their eyes that met hers was utterly unfamiliar. "Hello. Can I help you?" It was then that she realized their neural clouds had been formatted—the excessive complaints and delays in clearing cases had led to their entire squad being deemed unsatisfactory. For Dolls, having their neural clouds formatted was as close to death as it could get. All those smiles that they had shared, those memories of high-fiving each other, the way they bared their souls to each other in the middle of the night... All of it was gone, like it had never been. She froze on the spot. Her drink fell from her trembling hands and splashed on the ground. In that singular, frozen moment, an even more chilling thought came to mind: If... If her own squad ended up receiving too many complaints and their clear rates didn't make the grade... Drops of cold sweat began forming on her back. From that day onward, Mosin-Nagant stopped running. She followed the clues her former friends had left behind and rooted out the thugs who were hiding in the city. She began walking beats on the streets with the most complaints and trained herself to communicate with the local residents. She burned the midnight oil to redraw patrol routes. She marked every single potentially problematic location and came up with ways to deal with them. She refused to let herself be deterred by the cold faces of her colleagues. She strove to greet them every morning and share what she knew, even if they only acknowledged her one out of ten times. And in the end, her effort and drive were rewarded. Though she still felt afraid and confused from time to time, she no longer turned her back on the things that mattered. This was the beginning of Mosin-Nagant's transformation into a squad leader renowned for her tenacity and professionalism.莫辛纳甘盯着天花板，任由身体随着椅子旋转，心智中还回旋着前一夜在酒馆与新朋友们谈天的画面—— “嗨，莫辛纳甘，这儿！” “我叫切尔茜，这位是芙琳，前两天提供情报的事，真是多谢你喽！” “是呀是呀，那群人我们搜捕了好久，多亏了你，总算把他们抓到了。听说你从前是来自格里芬的人形呢，能和我们说说你的事吗？” “对呀，不止今天，以后有空的时候，你也多来和我们聊聊吧！你们辖区的其他人形，都不太爱搭理人呢。” …… 耳畔的声声喧闹，让莫辛纳甘恍惚间又回到了格里芬和战友们并肩的日子。 与人交流的感觉，真的太温暖了。莫辛纳甘不由得想——要是自己的小队也能这样该多好？ 可是，管理员的严苛与同事们的沉默，曾让她一次次地尝试，又一次次地败退。 “多干活！少废话！” “人形给我好好按照现场指示和《指南》行动，少自作主张，明白吗！” “可是……” “别可是了，这种事就不用调查了，你没听管理员说么？少管闲事，别出岔子。” …… 投入的责任心与热情都被压制在斥责与规章之下，莫辛纳甘无比困惑，无比迷茫。 最终，她选择了逃避—— 逃避心底总是在鼓动的热忱、逃避辖区内越积越高的投诉单、逃避所有不属于自己的责任……哪怕是来自切尔茜的求助，她也在犹豫中逃避而过。 莫辛纳甘安慰自己，没事的，未经允许贸然参与隔壁辖区的治安任务，才是真正的麻烦…… 莫辛纳甘本以为这样的逃避会永远持续下去。 直到那天，像往常一样，她来到了时常聚会的那家酒馆。 迎接她的却是完全陌生的眼神。 “您好，请问有什么可以帮您？” 那一刻她明白，她们都被心智格式化了——因为长期的高投诉率、以及过高的任务执行率，整个小队被判定为不合格。 格式化——对人形来说，近乎于死亡。 那些曾并肩而行的笑容、彼此击掌的瞬间、深夜倾诉的信任……全部，归于虚无。 她站在原地，饮料从颤抖的手中脱落，洒了一地。也正是在那个冰冷的瞬间，一个更冷的念头窜进她的心智： 如果……如果自己的小队也因为那些积压的投诉和任务执行率…… 冷汗无声地浸湿了她的后背。 从那天起，莫辛纳甘不再逃了。 她追踪着故友留下的线索，揪出城市中隐藏的暴徒。 她开始主动站在投诉最多的街道口执勤，一遍遍练习如何与居民沟通；她熬夜重新规划巡逻路线，将每一个隐患点标注成册、制定对策；她不再害怕队友的冷脸，坚持每天早晨主动打招呼、分享情报，哪怕十次里只得到一次回应。 她的付出与热情，果真得到了回应，即便她仍然会害怕，仍然会犹豫，但她不再背过身去。 ——这就是那位后来以坚韧和专业著称的莫辛纳甘队长转变的开端。

Record 5"Our shift's been over for a long time now, so how come Leader's still in the file room?" Papasha said as she poked her head inside and looked around. "I know, right? She's been at it for several days already," Clara sighed. "It's probably because she's trying to nab those fugitives." "But didn't the chief say that the neighboring precinct would be handling the case and all we'd have to do is support them?" Galina quietly added. The office briefly fell silent. Mosin-Nagant was always like this—she wouldn't let go of anything that might pose the least bit of a threat to the people's safety. "Leader's going to wear herself out at this rate," Papasha said worriedly. "Let's help her out!" "Don't you think Leader stayed back by herself precisely because she didn't want us to get involved? I bet she'll tell us to leave if we join in..." "Hehe, that's not up to her to decide..." Clara snapped her fingers. "As it turns out, it's been almost a year since Leader joined us. I've got an idea." "Whew... Well, I've got a lead, at least." Halfway through another all-nighter, Mosin-Nagant stretched her arms as she rose from her desk. "This line of thinking sounds like it could work out. I'll confirm the suspects again tomorrow and then hand out assignments to everyone!" "Still... Is it just me, or is there something a bit wrong with everyone lately? Clara and Galina have been acting all mysterious, and even Papasha disappears the moment she knocks off..." A hint of sadness flashed across Mosin-Nagant's eyes as she pondered these developments. However, her face soon beamed with a bright smile again. "Oh, I get it. They must be doing some kind of secret team-building thing because they're afraid of adding to my workload." "Oh well, that's alright. As the squad leader, I can understand my squadmates' needs! I'll just handle the mission by myself. It'll be fine! Hahaha!" Mosin-Nagant clenched her fist to encourage herself. "What mission are you talking about, Leader?" "Leader, according to the Guidelines, a squad leader isn't allowed to conduct a potentially dangerous investigation by themselves without authorization!" Mosin-Nagant scratched her head in confusion as she heard the voices from outside the room. "Hm? Are those Clara's and Papasha's voices? ...Did I do so much overtime that I ended up hallucinating?" "What do you mean, 'hallucinating'? This is backup from your squad!" As Galina chimed in, the office door swung open and colorful streamers flew in from the outside, raining down on Mosin-Nagant's head. "Happy anniversary, Leader!" Galina said as she waved the streamer cannon in her hand. Meanwhile, Papasha had a tiny cake with a single candle on it, and Clara held up a file. "Leader, we already checked out the targets you were going to investigate. Our reports are compiled here." "Ah! Wait, so you weren't organizing some kind of secret team-building thing? You were actually—" Mosin-Nagant facepalmed, seemingly having just recovered from the lively scene before her. "Yup yup. Do you like your 'first anniversary of joining the squad' surprise?" "Next time, you're not allowed to secretly do overtime while keeping it from us."“下班好一阵了，队长怎么还在档案室里？”波波沙探头朝房间里张望。 “可不是吗，都好几天了，”克拉拉叹气，“还是为了追捕那群逃犯的事情吧。” “可管理员不是说，这起案件由隔壁辖区跟进，我们只要协助就好吗？” 加莉娜小声补充了一句。 办公室陷入了短暂的沉默，莫辛纳甘就是这样——但凡有一丝影响居民安全的可能，她都不会放过。 “这样下去不行，队长会把自己累坏的，”波波沙有些担忧，“我们也加入吧！” “队长特意在这个点留下，就是不想让我们承担额外工作吧？主动加入肯定会被劝走的……” “哼哼，加不加入可由不得她……”克拉拉打了个响指，“正好队长加入我们的一周年纪念日快到了，我倒是有个主意。” “呼……总算理出些头绪了。” 又一个深夜，莫辛纳甘舒展着胳膊，从办公桌前起身。 “按这个思路追查果然是可行的，明天再确认一下嫌疑目标，就把任务交给大家吧！” “不过……大家最近是不是有些不对劲？克拉拉和加莉娜都神神秘秘的，连波波沙下班也溜得飞快……”莫辛纳甘思索着，一丝淡淡的失落掠过她的眼眸，但随即又露出了宽慰的微笑，“我明白了，她们一定是想私下团建，又怕增加我的负担。” “没关系，作为队长，我绝对理解队员们的需求！任务我自己处理就好，一定没问题的，哈哈哈！”莫辛纳甘握拳给自己打着气。 “队长，是什么任务呀——” “队长，依照《指南》，队长不可以未经批准独自涉险哦！” 听着门外传来的话音，莫辛纳甘迷惑地挠挠头。 “嗯？这是克拉拉和波波沙的声音？……我加班加出幻觉了？” “才不是幻觉呢！是来自小队的支援！” 加莉娜的声音加入的瞬间，办公室大门砰地开启，纷纷扬扬的彩条从门外朝着莫辛纳甘的头顶洒下。 “一周年快乐，队长！”加莉娜摇晃着手中的礼炮筒，波波沙端着小小的、插着一根纪念蜡烛的蛋糕，克拉拉则举起了手中的文件夹。 “队长，你要的调查目标，已经汇总在这里喽。” “啊！所以，你们并不是在悄悄准备私人团建？而是——” 莫辛纳甘拍着脑门，似乎刚刚从眼前热闹的状况中反应过来。 “嗯嗯，队长对这份入队一周年纪念惊喜还满意吗？” “下次，可不许瞒着我们悄悄加班了。”

Record 6Mosin-Nagant invited me to her room one lazy afternoon. Upon entering, I saw her and Papasha sprawled on the couch, spacing out in unison while staring at the ceiling. "What's this?" I said, leaning against the doorframe. "Doing a safety inspection for the ceiling?" Mosin-Nagant pointed at the colorful posters on the walls—the ones advertising a city-wide dance competition. I was a little surprised. "You like things like these? It doesn't seem to suit your character." "Ahhh, well, I wasn't really interested at first, but apparently, the winner gets a big cash prize," Mosin-Nagant said as she sank deeper into the sofa. "I could use that to upgrade my skiing gear." It was at this point that Papasha suddenly sat up and cut in. "The problem is that neither of us can dance." "I can," Mosin-Nagant replied. She seemed very serious about it. Papasha waved her off dismissively. "No no, that dance of yours won't cut it in a competition..." That piqued my curiosity, and I couldn't help but tease her. "What kind of dance is it? Could you show me?" Mosin-Nagant sprang up, like she had received an order, and quickly moved her table aside to make room. After standing upright, she suddenly dropped low into a half-squat, thrusting one foot out, then the other, while withdrawing the first one back underneath her. Her arms moved vigorously, making her look like an energetic penguin of war. It was a lively performance that managed to look completely dignified and utterly hilarious at the same time. When she was done, Mosin-Nagant stood back up again, turning to me with an expectant look on her face. "How was it?" I couldn't help but laugh. "It was a good dance, full of energy... But Papasha's right. A dance like this isn't very suitable for the competition." After seeing the dejection on her face, I quickly added, "Want to try a more conventional ballroom dance?" She paused for a moment, and then nodded. I stepped forward to demonstrate the movements, reaching out to guide her into a pirouette. However, her body stiffened like a block of iron halfway through the turn, and she ended up trampling on my feet. "My apologies, Comrade Commander," she said, her face slightly flushed. I couldn't help making fun of her. "Surely you could just load a precalculated kinematics suite for ballroom dancing if you really wanted, right?" "That would be cheating," Mosin-Nagant said as she shook her head. "I won't take shortcuts to victory." I sighed as I saw the stubborn yet earnest look in her eyes and extended my hand to her again. "Alright, then we'll keep practicing together, Mosin-Nagant." "...Very well, Comrade Commander." It would seem my toes were in for a smashing good time today.悠闲的午后，莫辛纳甘邀请我到她的休息室小坐。 一进门，就看见莫辛纳甘和波波沙倒在沙发上，齐刷刷地瞪着天花板发呆。 “这是怎么了？”我走过去，靠着门框，“你们在给天花板安检呢？” 莫辛纳甘无奈地指了指墙上花花绿绿的海报——首届城市舞蹈大赛。 我有点意外：“你还对这种活动感兴趣？这可不像你的风格。” “啊哈，我本来也不感兴趣，但是听说……优胜者会有很多的奖金，”莫辛纳甘往沙发里缩得更深了一点，“这样就能升级我的滑雪装备了。” 这时，波波沙猛然坐起来插话：“问题是我们都不会跳舞呀。” “我会。”莫辛纳甘突然说道，语气格外认真。 波波沙连忙摆手：“不行不行，你那舞根本不合适比赛……” 我被她俩勾起了好奇心，忍不住怂恿起来：“到底是什么舞？跳来看看？” 莫辛纳甘像是接到了命令立刻起身、利落地挪开桌子空出场地。 她站定后突然压低身体，半蹲着开始用膝盖弹跳起来，手臂有力地挥动——整个人像一只充满活力的战斗企鹅，热闹又莫名带着几分庄严的滑稽。 跳完一段，莫辛纳甘重新站直，一脸期待地望向我：“怎么样？” 我忍不住笑：“跳得真不错，活力十足……但恐怕波波沙说得对，这段舞蹈的确不太适合比赛。” 见她有些失望，我连忙补充道，“要不要试试交际舞？” 她愣了下，然后点头。我上前做示范，伸手引导她旋转，可她才转半圈就全身僵硬得像块钢板，接连踩了我好几脚。 “对不起，指挥官同志。”她脸都有些红了。 我忍不住想逗逗她：“人形想要跳舞的话，直接输入一套标准舞步的数据不就好了？” “那是作弊，”莫辛纳甘摇头，“我不想走捷径。” 看着她倔强又认真的眼神，我叹了口气，再次伸出手： “那就继续练吧，莫辛纳甘——我陪你。” “……好的，指挥官同志。” 看来，今天我的脚是免不了遭殃了。

Record 7Good morning, Comrade Commander!It was a bright and sunny morning. Mosin-Nagant knocked on the ops room door."Come in, please." In response, Mosin-Nagant entered and raised her hand in a crisp salute. Her golden hair shone like the sunlight streaming in through the windows."Mosin-Nagant? Why so formal? Is something the matter?""Sir, I would like to establish a patrol route within the Elmo. The planning is already complete, so I request that you review my submission, sir!"Saying so, Mosin-Nagant stepped forward and offered me a tablet showing a three-dimensional diagram of the Elmo's layout and the proposed route."Hm... Looks like the route covers the entire Elmo, from the roof platform to the lower deck Garage. There's also a lot of emphasis on critical service areas. The layout looks reasonable enough...""Yup!" Mosin-Nagant nodded eagerly. "I discussed the feasibility of the route with Papasha and Nagant. I also asked Groza and Mayling for their opinions too—"Mosin-Nagant looked like she wanted to go on, but I had to interrupt her."I know you've gone to a lot of trouble to plan this route. However, there's one thing that makes me curious: why did you want to establish a patrol route on the Elmo in the first place? I could understand wanting to do it in a satellite city, it's for the sake of maintaining order, after all. But surely there are no public order issues aboard the Elmo... or are there?"Given the sheer number of Tactical Dolls aboard the Elmo, I honestly could not imagine anyone trying to make trouble in a place like this."Er... Haha... Well..."Surprisingly enough, my question left Mosin-Nagant at a complete loss for words. After a long time, she finally managed to smack her head and squeeze out an answer."Comrade Commander, the Elmo is a peaceful place, but we have a saying over at PubSec: 'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!' If we spot any potential hazards on patrol and deal with them ahead of time, we'll be able to greatly cut down on the number of emergency situations that arise!""...You make it sound like the Elmo is full of disasters waiting to happen. Alright then, tell me about a few of these potential hazards.""For instance, Mayling's stash of rice wine has a habit of mysteriously vanishing. We can cut down on that by increasing patrols in the storeroom. The daily usage of the ops room far exceeds that of other facilities, requiring extra surveillance and monitoring of wear and tear of various devices. The kitchen and dining area are used more heavily around noon, which requires extra patrols to ward off fires or electrical shorts. We've also received reports of strange metallic noises and disruptive music at night, which might affect the quality of human rest. That also requires attention..."After rattling off a long list of examples, Mosin-Nagant straightened up, came to attention, and nodded to me again."In short, I believe this patrol route will effectively eliminate potential security risks, so I request your approval for it!"Effectively eliminates potential security risks, you say... I looked at the route again. I noted how it repeatedly crossed over the ops room, the lounge, and all the areas where I'd been active recently, and sighed. The number of "coincidental" overlaps with my movements was staggering."Mosin-Nagant, if you want to invite me for a walk, you can just come out and ask me directly.""N-no, that's not what I, er—"Mosin-Nagant's face went as red as a tomato.She buried her face in her hands. A moment later, a whisper escaped her lips."How... how did you see through me so quickly... Even after I went out of my way to...""Would a proper patrol route need to stop by the ops room so frequently? I thought this was the safest place aboard the Elmo.""Ahaha... you got me there..." Mosin-Nagant lowered her head even further. "I messed it up after all... I knew it, I shouldn't even have left the room this morning, ahaha...""Are you giving up on it already? It's not like I said no, did I?" I smiled and handed Mosin-Nagant's tablet back to her. "So you've got enough courage to plan a route like this, but not enough courage to just ask me out directly?""Ah, so, you're saying..." Mosin-Nagant raised her head again. Her eyes were sparkling.Almost at the same time, I extended a hand to her."The sun is very good today, isn't it? Let's go patrol the Elmo together, Leader."“早上好，指挥官同志！” 一个阳光灿烂的上午，莫辛纳甘敲响了指挥室的门。 “请进。”随着我的应声，莫辛纳甘踏进门，却抬起手来向我敬了一个礼，金色的长发在阳光的映衬下显得格外闪耀。 “莫辛纳甘？这么正式，是有什么事么？” “报告指挥官，我想要在艾莫号建立一条巡逻路线，具体方案已经规划完毕，请您审阅！” 说着，莫辛纳甘走近，将显示着艾莫号立体地图以及路线的平板递到我面前。 “嗯……从车顶平台到底层的格纳库都有涉及，对重点使用区域也有特别关注，光从路线来看是很合理……” “没错！”莫辛纳甘因我的回应而兴奋地点了点头，“为了确定路线的可行性，我特意邀请了波波沙和纳甘一起讨论，还向美玲和闪电收集了意见——” 莫辛纳甘还在兴奋地解说，但我忍不住打断了她。 “规划路线的事，你费心了。不过我很好奇，为什么你想在艾莫号上建立巡逻路线？在卫星城巡逻是为了维持治安，但艾莫号上，似乎并没有维持治安的需求吧……？” 毕竟，以艾莫号上战术人形的数量，我实在想不到有谁敢闯入这里破坏治安。 “呃……哈哈，这个嘛……” 没想到莫辛纳甘被这一问，竟有些张口结舌起来。半天，才拍脑袋似的憋出了一句话。 “指挥官同志，艾莫号上的环境很平和，但是，我们治安部门有一句常说的话，‘防患于未然’！预先做好准备，在巡逻中将隐患掐灭，就能大大减少紧急情况出现！” “……听起来好像马上艾莫号就会出事似的。那你说说看，都存在哪些隐患？” “比如，美玲收藏的米酒经常不翼而飞，可以通过在仓库加强巡逻防止米酒失窃；指挥室的每日使用时长已远超其他区域，需要多加巡逻，关注各类设备的损耗；午间，厨房与餐厅区域使用频次较高，需要多加巡逻以防范火灾或电路故障；夜间，休息室区域出现的异常重金属噪音、刺激性音乐，都可能会影响人类的休息质量，需要多加关注……” 絮絮叨叨地列举了一大堆，莫辛纳甘并拢腿、站直身，再次认真地向我点点头。 “总之，我认为这道巡逻路线完全符合消除治安隐患的需要，还请您批准！” 符合消除隐患的需要吗……我看着那条在指挥室、休息室、我最近常活动的区域反复逡巡，与我的行动轨迹总是“巧合”地重叠的巡逻线路，不由叹了口气。 “莫辛纳甘，如果你是想邀请我一起散步，其实可以直接开口。” “不不，我不是，呃——” 莫辛纳甘的脸迅速涨红成一只柿子。 她飞快地将头深深埋进手掌，半晌才挤出一丝低低的声音。 “您……您怎么这么快就看出来了……我明明特意……” “正常巡逻没必要在指挥室停留那么多次吧？我以为，这里算是艾莫号上最安全的地方了。” “啊哈……您说的对……”莫辛纳甘的头埋得更低了，“果然，失败了……早知道还是不出门比较好吧，哈哈……” “这么快就放弃了？我可还没拒绝啊，”微笑着，我将平板塞回莫辛纳甘手心，“有勇气规划这条巡逻路线，就没勇气直接邀请我吗？” “啊，您、您的意思是……”莫辛纳甘抬起了头，她的眼睛一瞬间变得明亮。 几乎是同一瞬，我向她伸出手。 “今天的阳光很好，不是吗？一起在艾莫号巡逻吧，我的队长。”

Record 8Thanks to regular "patrols" from Mosin-Nagant, the Elmo's "security situation" was greatly "improved"—or rather, my "working environment" became extremely "orderly". Every morning, she would accompany me for my morning workout, then escort me to the lounge for breakfast. When it was time to work, she would invite me on short walks at appropriate times to ensure I achieved a proper work-life balance. She even took over quite a bit of my daily tasks too. While this made for a comfortable, almost ideal lifestyle, several small "security incidents" still managed to crop up, such as... Mosin-Nagant's face was stern as she planted her hands on her hips and looked down at me. "Comrade Commander, I believe you promised me to get up and move around once every hour so as to avoid sitting down for extended periods of time. However, you have clearly forgotten about that promise, because you've been going through client quotes for the past three hours..." "Sorry, sorry, I was lost in my work..." "Do you think an apology will be enough? Are you going to give up and let yourself go just because I'm not around?" Mosin-Nagant had no intent of letting me off easy, and she smacked my table in annoyance. "If I hadn't come back early from my mission, you'd have been here all night until you finished going through this entire stack of quotations, wouldn't you?" "Er, calm down, Mosin-Nagant. Today is special, really... And besides, I don't think working hard counts as giving up and letting myself go... does it?" I smiled sheepishly and raised my hands in supplication as I tried to plead my case to her. "I mean, you know how things have been on the Elmo lately. There's no way I could finish going through all these orders without pulling overtime..." "Really now?" Mosin-Nagant's expression grew icier than before. I rarely saw Mosin-Nagant make a face like this. Simply put, Mosin-Nagant was the kind of person who always smiled happily when she was off the battlefield. Seeing this stern and serious side of her was... kind of cute? "Mosin-Nagant, I'm almost done looking through these quotations. Could you give me 20 more minutes?" I tried to bargain with her. "No can do," she replied in a tone that brooked no refusal. "Ten minutes, then? Er... how about five minutes? Five minutes is all I need!" "Commander, if you insist on being like this, I will have to resort to sterner measures." Mosin-Nagant seemed a little angry now. She placed both her hands on the table, her eyes fixed on mine as she leaned over towards me. Her blue eyes twinkled like the ocean. Her long blonde hair, done up in those cute little braids, dangled before my eyes. I could practically smell the faint fragrance coming from them... "Two... two minutes...?" I made a final attempt. And as expected, Mosin-Nagant's face went completely cold. "Pardon me, Comrade Commander, but your 'resistance' warrants 'sterner measures' from the Elmo's security team." Mosin-Nagant circled around my desk, bent down, and grabbed my hands. I felt the warmth of her hands on mine, followed immediately by a cool sensation— She whipped out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed my hand to one of hers. "For your health, I will be escorting you back to your room to rest."在莫辛纳甘的定期“巡逻”下，艾莫号的“治安环境”得到了极大的“改善”——不，不如说是我的“工作环境”，变得极其“有序”。 每天早晨，她会陪同我一起晨练，再陪我一起到休息区进餐。而到了工作时间，她总是在适当的时间邀请我进行小休散步，确保劳逸结合，连每天要处理的事务，也被她分担了不少。 这样的生活舒适而理想，但是，偶尔也会出现一些小小的“治安案件”，比如现在—— 莫辛纳甘一脸严肃地叉着腰，俯身看向我。 “指挥官同志，我记得与您约定过，每隔一个小时就要起身活动身体，不能一直久坐。但显然您将约定抛在了脑后，这三个小时一直都在桌前审阅委托方的报价单……” “抱歉抱歉，一时沉迷工作……” “只是抱歉吗？不能因为我有事不在，您就这样自暴自弃、自我放纵吧？” 莫辛纳甘显然没打算放过我，气鼓鼓地拍了一下桌面。 “要是我没有提前完成任务返回，您今晚会一直工作到这一摞报价单审核结束为止吗？” “呃，莫辛纳甘，你别生气，今天是特殊情况，真的……而且，认真工作也不能算是自暴自弃、自我放纵吧……对吧？” 我笑着举起双手，努力向莫辛纳甘解释。 “你也知道最近艾莫号的情况，不加班，这些单据和合同真的没法看完……” “是吗？”莫辛纳甘的脸色更冷了一分。 我很少见到莫辛纳甘露出这样的表情。不如说，在战场之外的地方，莫辛纳甘总是开朗地笑着的，以至于见到她这副严肃认真的模样，我竟会觉得有一丝……可爱？ “莫辛纳甘，这份报价单很快就看完了，要不，你再给我二十分钟？”我试图与她讨价还价。 “不行。”莫辛纳甘斩钉截铁地拒绝了我。 “那十分钟？呃……五分钟也行！” “指挥官，您再这样坚持，我就要采取强制措施了。” 莫辛纳甘似乎有些生气了。她双手撑住了桌面，紧紧盯着我，俯身向我靠近。 蓝色的眼睛，像湛蓝的大海一般波光闪烁。 金色的长发，小巧的辫子，柔软地垂在我的眼前，似乎飘来淡淡的香味…… “两、两分钟……” 我做出了最后的尝试。 如我所料地，莫辛纳甘彻底地冷了脸。 “指挥官同志，恕我无礼。鉴于您的‘顽抗’行为，现在，我将对您采取艾莫号治安小队的‘强制措施’。” 莫辛纳甘绕过桌面，低下身，紧紧抓住了我的手。 手掌温软的触感一瞬即逝，紧接而来的是一抹凉意—— 她摸出手铐，将我的手，与她的一只手铐到了一起。 “为了您的健康，现在，我要带您回去休息了。”
