Oasis In Danger 绿洲险境

Read this chapter with voices →

At the Oasis, inside a former warehouse in Area G.绿洲,原G区物资仓库。

熵Skree...叽……

Several Entropics are roaming around the ruined warehouse.数只熵在已经化为废墟的仓库附近徘徊。

However, they have not noticed a pair of eyes observing them through a gap in the debris.但是它们并没有注意到,在仓库的废墟之下,有一双眼睛正透过缝隙在观察它们。

KseniaUgh... This is bad... There's more and more of them... I don't think I'll be able to make it out of here...呜……不行……数量越来越多了……我应该已经出不去了吧……

KseniaGuys, don't come here. There are Entropics nearby...大家,不要过来。有熵在靠近……

Ksenia sends a message over the Oasis' emergency frequency.科谢尼娅在绿洲紧急频道中发出了信号。

KseniaIf I get reset, no stealing my personal savings... make sure you return them to post-reset me. Also, don't forget to pay me, Choco...如果我重置了,不许私吞我的财产哦……一定要还给重置后的我。还有巧可记得给我结算工资……

Ksenia's hands tremble as she types.科谢尼娅颤抖地敲打着文字。

KseniaWhy does it feel like I'm leaving a will... (sniffle) I...怎么感觉在留下遗言一样……呜……我……

新用户0512Don't give up!不要放弃!

KseniaHuh?诶?

As she looks at the letters that have suddenly appeared on the channel, Ksenia can't help but freeze up.看着搜救频道上突然显示的名字,科谢尼娅不由得一愣。

新用户0512We'll make sure to rescue you!我们一定会拯救你的!

KseniaWho... Who is this?这是……谁?

CascadiaAttention Rescue Channel, Cascadia has arrived at Area G.救援频道,卡斯卡迪娅抵达G区。

A petite figure moves swiftly toward Area G.娇小的身影在G区快速移动着。

CascadiaFrom what I can see, Area G's buildings have sustained damages, over 65%.目视范围内,G区建筑损坏率超过65%。

CascadiaRescue Channel, I need information about any trapped Dolls in Area G... erm...救援频道,我需要G区被困人形的信息……呃……

救援频道There's a fire in Area F.F区发生火灾。

救援频道Team Chelsea is fighting the fire and rescuing agents in Area F. Does anyone know what's happened to the Medical Department?炽小队正在F区进行救援,有谁知道医疗部的情况吗?

救援频道Area G's Defense Node is under attack by Entropics.G区守卫节点受到熵的袭击。

救援频道Team Magnhilda has taken over the defense of Area G's Defense Node!玛吉西尔达小队已经接管G区守卫节点了!

救援频道Are there any more medical teams available for dispatch? We've got wounded here!还有没有能够出动的医疗小队!有人受伤了!

救援频道Is there anyone who can check on the dorms in Area A? Centaureissi...有没有人可以去看看A区宿舍的状况?桑朵莱希她……

A chaotic mix of voices emanates from the communicator.通讯器中传来了混乱的声音。

DaiyanEveryone, this is Daiyan. HQ will be managing the Rescue Channel, so please calm down.各位,这里是黛烟,指挥部将会协助处理求救频道。请大家冷静。

CascadiaThis is Cascadia reporting. I'd like to confirm the location of a distress signal in Area G.报告,这里是卡斯卡迪娅。想确认一下G区求救者发出的信号源。

DaiyanHm? Miss Cascadia? If I'm not wrong, you only just arrived in the Oasis...诶?卡斯卡迪娅小姐,我记得你是刚刚抵达绿洲的……

CascadiaYes. I'm currently unable to access the Oasis' database, so I was hoping you could help me verify the signal source of a person in distress.是的,我现在无法使用绿洲数据库中的部分权限,希望你能帮我确认求助者的信号源。

DaiyanParts of our database's core facilities are under repair. Give me a moment. As for Area G's distress signal... Got it! It's Ksenia!数据库的部分核心设施在抢修过程中。稍等,G区的求助信号……有了!是科谢尼娅!

DaiyanAfter backtracing her distress signal, she should be in the warehouse district. However, we only have a rough idea of her location...根据求救信号,是在仓库区域。不过信号源只能确定大概的范围……

CascadiaThat's enough. Please send me a map of the warehouse district and information about Ksenia... I'll find her, circumstances permitting.足够了,请将仓库区域的平面图和科谢尼娅的信息发给我……我会根据现场情况找到她的。

DaiyanWait a minute, Cascadia, there are traces of Entropic activity near the warehouse district...等等,卡斯卡迪娅。仓库附近有熵活动的痕迹……

DaiyanYou've only just arrived and we haven't finished making a backup of you yet... And you've got other important tasks to handle, too. If we make you take more risks...你才刚刚抵达绿洲,还未完成备份的录入……更何况你还身负着其他重要的任务,如果再让你承担更多的风险……

CascadiaRight now, the Oasis needs someone to handle search and rescue duties. I'll make sure I save Ksenia.现在绿洲的情况,需要有人承担搜救队的任务。我会在完成任务的基础上救出科谢尼娅的。

DaiyanI understand... But please be careful. I'll contact a nearby team to back you up!我明白了……但是请千万小心。我会立刻联络附近的队伍给予你支援!

CascadiaUnderstood... I've received Ksenia's information.了解……科谢尼娅信息接收完毕。

Cascadia checks the data on the communicator's screen.卡斯卡迪娅看着通讯器中显示的信息。

CascadiaI count six Entropics visible from my location... and one Doll that needs rescue.目视距离中,可以确认的熵的数量是6只……需要救助的人形数量为1人。

CascadiaGiven my current gear status, operand levels, and the scope of the disaster... I'll have just enough to fight the Entropics and complete the rescue, including any follow-up work... I think. Kind of cutting it close here.根据目前的装备,算量和受灾面积的数据计算。与熵作战,救援以及完成后续任务……刚刚好吗?有点极限啊。

CascadiaAs for teams which can support this Area...可以支援本区域的队伍……

Cascadia tunes in to the Rescue Channel, which is still being sorted out.卡斯卡迪娅看了看还在调整中的救援频道。

CascadiaI won't be getting any backup in the short term. If the Entropics discover the victim's position first... I don't have any way to keep Entropization at bay.短时间内不可能有队伍能够支援吗。如果让熵先一步发现遇难者的位置……我没有可以抑制熵化的能力。

CascadiaIn that case... I ought to remove any risk factors on the rescue scene.既然如此……首先要排除搜救现场的风险。

CascadiaSlo-Mo! Let's go!慢慢!我们走!

Cascadia grabs her gear, which seems comically oversized for her petite frame, and breaks into a sprint toward the roaming Entropics.卡斯卡迪娅举起了和娇小的身躯完全不符合的装备,朝着徘徊的熵们发起了冲锋。

CascadiaSlo-Mo! Chainsaw!慢慢!电锯!

慢慢Vrrrmmmmm—嗡——

The sound of the running chainsaw immediately draws the Entropics' attention.电锯的轰鸣声立刻吸引了熵的注意。

熵Skree?叽?

One of them turns around in confusion.一只熵疑惑地转过身。

Cascadia fires up her demolition hammer and brutally stabs it into the nearest Entropic.卡斯卡迪娅举起电动镐,借助奔跑的加速度将电动镐尖端狠狠地扎进了熵的体内。

CascadiaThat's one!第一只!

熵Skree...叽……

As the demolition hammer roars to life, Cascadia exerts her strength in time with the motor's movements, and the demolition hammer effortlessly pierces the Entropic's body.随着电动镐启动,卡斯卡迪娅的力量配合电机的转动,电动镐轻易贯穿了熵的身体。

CascadiaWhile I'd rather not use a life-saving tool on something like this...虽然不希望把救助人命的装备用在这种事情上……

CascadiaThis is for my friends! Slo-Mo!但是这是为了救助伙伴!慢慢!

The Entropics, who have only just begun to react to all this, suddenly see an orange figure lunging at them.刚刚才反应过来的熵们,还没有开始行动就看到一个橘黄色的身影扑向了自己。

The sharp chainsaw rips through them and tears them apart with a roar.锋利的电锯贯穿了熵的身体,伴随着轰鸣声将熵锯断。

The Oasis, Area F, in the dorm district.绿洲F区,宿舍区域。

ChelseaCompany ready! Charge the line!水枪队准备!开始给压!

A crimson figure stands at the frontlines of the blazing Oasis. With can in hand, she orders the agents to direct the spray from their hose into the smoke-belching dorms.一道火红的身影正在绿洲火场的最前线。手持着水枪指挥着智能体们朝着被浓烟吞没的宿舍区域喷洒着水柱。

ChelseaWe've got a temperature spike at 11 o'clock. Switch to fog pattern and cool it off!11点钟的方向,温度异常。喷洒模式,降温!

Using an IR imaging module unique to firefighting Dolls, Chelsea pinpoints the location of what seems to be the source of the blaze.透过消防人形特有的热成像模块,炽准确的找到了疑似火源的位置。

ChelseaInterior attack team, check your gear! Prepare to move in and rescue!内攻小队,检查装备,准备进入现场救人!

The agents responsible for entering the structure are stopped by a wall of thick black smoke the moment they open the door.负责破门进入火场的智能体们刚刚打开门,就被一股漆黑的浓烟阻拦。

智能体It's too dense. We can't get in!浓烟过于密集,无法进入!

ChelseaSwitch to stream pattern! Disperse the smoke!切换水枪的模式!用点射喷洒清除浓烟!

Chelsea directs bursts of pressurized water from her extinguisher, breaking up the smoke. With Chelsea covering them, the interior attack team manages to get inside the building.炽手中的水枪间断性的喷出水柱,浓烟被水柱击散。在炽的掩护之下内攻小队成功的进入了房屋内。

智能体We've rescued the people inside the structure! The interior attack team is pulling out now!报告,已经确保被困智能体的安全!内攻小队开始撤离!

ChelseaWhew...呼……

Chelsea breathes a sigh of relief after she sees the agents successfully evacuate.看着成功撤离的智能体,炽松了一口气。

ChelseaDon't relax just yet, guys! Check the status of the rest of the dorm district!大家不要松懈,排查宿舍区域的状况!

Beepbeepbeep—嘀嘀嘀——

ChelseaA message from HQ? This is Chelsea!指挥部的通讯?这里是炽!

DaiyanChelsea! This is HQ. How's the situation in Area F?炽!这里是指挥部,F区情况如何?

ChelseaWe've finished search and rescue ops in the dorm district. Give us a new location.宿舍区域的搜救行动已经基本完成了,把下一个搜救地点给我吧。

Chelsea works her somewhat numbed arms.炽甩了甩有些麻木的手臂。

DaiyanChelsea, what's your team's condition?炽,你的小队情况如何?

ChelseaThey're fine. We burned fewer resources than expected, and we know there are tons of distress signals on the Rescue Channel.没事的,我们的消耗比想象中要少,而且救援频道中还有很多求救的信号。

DaiyanUnderstood. I've organized the information from the Rescue Channel, but I'll let you decide how you want to make the rescues. Also, Area G might need your help. Look at this message for more information.我明白了,我已经把救援频道中的信息整理过了,具体的救援还是交给你判断吧。以及G区可能需要你们的支援,具体的请看这两条信息。

ChelseaNo problem. Leave it to me.没问题,交给我吧。

Chelsea opens the table of rescue requests that Daiyan has organized for her.炽打开黛烟整理的搜救列表。

ChelseaRescue ops in Area F are done... the next place we need to be at is... Area G, to recover experimental operand energy reactors? That looks tricky. We'll need specialists for that...F区救援行动结束……接下来需要支援的是……去G区回收试做型算量EN反应堆吗?有些棘手啊,需要专业的人形进行处理……

ChelseaAnd the other message is... A distress signal from Ksenia?另一条信息是……科谢尼娅的求救信号?

ChelseaHQ, who's handling these two messages?指挥部,这两条信息现在的处理人是谁?

DaiyanThe Doll taking care of them is called Cascadia. She only just arrived at the Oasis yesterday...前去处理的人形是一名叫做卡斯卡迪娅的人形,她昨天才刚刚抵达绿洲……

ChelseaCascadia? So she's in the Oasis too!? No, wait—did you say she went to Area G by herself?!卡斯卡迪娅?她也来到绿洲了?不对!你说她是一个人前往G区了?!

DaiyanYes...是的……

ChelseaIf she reached the Oasis yesterday... doesn't that mean she hasn't been backed up yet?她昨天抵达绿洲……那岂不是她还没有完成备份?

DaiyanI've informed Magnhilda and the others about her situation, but right now... They're fighting at the Defense Node and can't spare anyone.我已经把她的情况通知了玛吉西尔达她们,但是目前……她们在守卫节点进行作战,难以分出人手。

ChelseaNo way...不行……

Chelsea frantically changes the channel, and in the last line of all the comm logs she finds a name that is at once foreign yet familiar to her.炽焦急地切换频道,在全体通讯录最后一行找到了那个陌生而又熟悉的名字。

Dootdootdoot—嘟嘟嘟——

However, the only reply to Chelsea is a busy tone.然而回应炽的是却是无人回应的忙音。

ChelseaNo reply... Cascadia...没有回复……卡斯卡迪娅……

ChelseaHm? There's a message?嗯?有一份留言?

The situation is urgent and none of the Areas can spare people, so according to my calculations, I'll prioritize rescuing Ksenia to ease the pressure on your rescue team.情况紧急,各个区域无法调派人手。根据我的计算,我会优先完成对科谢尼娅的救援,分担你们搜救的压力。

Relax and leave it to me.放心,交给我了。

ChelseaHQ, can you pick up Cascadia's signal?指挥部,可以检测到卡斯卡迪娅的信号吗?

DaiyanShe's currently in the warehouse district where Ksenia is.目前正在科谢尼娅所在的仓库区域。

Chelsea(What do you mean leave it to you, you mega dork?!)(什么交给你了!你这个大笨蛋!)

Chelsea(You haven't even backed yourself up, why are you trying so damn hard...)(备份都没有做,逞什么强……)

Dootdootdoot—嘟嘟嘟——

Chelsea(C'mon, pick up...)(快接通啊……)

Chelsea tries calling Cascadia once again, but the reply is still a busy tone.炽再一次尝试拨打卡斯卡迪娅的通讯,但是依旧是一阵忙音。

Chelsea...HQ, send me Cascadia's location in Area G.……指挥部,把科谢尼娅所在的G区信息给我。

DaiyanAlready done...已经整理好了……

DaiyanChelsea! Cascadia's signal just vanished!炽!卡斯卡迪娅的讯号消失了!

ChelseaSay WHAT?!什么?!

ChelseaWhy is someone collapsed here... Cascadia?!怎么有人倒在了营地……卡斯卡迪娅?!

ChelseaCascadia? Are you okay? Her transmission module overloaded... did it affect her neural cloud?卡斯卡迪娅?!你还好吧?传动模块过载……影响了心智吗?

Chelsea looks at the map of Area G and grits her teeth.炽看了看G区的地图,咬了咬牙。

ChelseaTeam Chelsea, prepare to head to Area G.炽小队,准备前往G区。

Chelsea(It's just like back then...)(又是和当年一样的情况吗……)

Chelsea(Dammit, Cascadia... you HAVE to stay safe!)(绝对不能出事啊……卡斯卡迪娅!)

2057, in the training room at the Federal Emergency Search and Rescue Agency.2057年,联邦灾害搜救队,训练室。

Cascadia has a heavy firehose in her hands as she runs toward her destination.卡斯卡迪娅手里抱着厚重的水带,向着目标处快速奔跑。

Boom!轰!

The sound of an explosion fills the air and Cascadia immediately dives to the ground before lifting her head to check her surroundings.爆炸声突然传来,卡斯卡迪娅立刻卧倒,抬头确认四周环境。

After she's sure everything is safe, she continues running with the hose. With a two-story building in front of her, Cascadia plants a foot on the wall and launches herself through a window and into the building.在确认安全后再一次抱着水带向前冲去。面对两层楼的建筑,卡斯卡迪娅在墙上借力后立刻翻越了窗台进入了建筑物中。

系统Time taken: 32.42 seconds.时间32秒42。

Cascadia looks at the numbers displayed on the training room wall.卡斯卡迪娅看着训练室显示的数据。

CascadiaI...我……

救援队约翰(Sigh) Oh, don't make a face like that.唉……不要露出这样的表情嘛。

救援队约翰I'm sure the Captain had his reasons for doing this.队长这么做一定是有他的想法的。

CascadiaTotally smooth change of topic there... but thanks. Wait a minute, is this fast food?你转移话题的方式也太蹩脚了,不过还是谢谢你的好意……等等,这是快餐?

CascadiaHello.你好。

Although her conversation with John helped calm her feelings, Cascadia can't help but feel a little stiff when she actually looks at her new teammates.虽然刚刚在约翰的话语下调整了心情,但是真正面对新的队友时卡斯卡迪娅还是有一些僵硬。

德雷克队长Hahah, no need to worry. I've known your Captain Franklin for a while now. Also, we've got a Doll on our team, too. I'm sure the two of you will get along like a house on fire.哈哈哈,不用这么紧张。我和你们的富兰克林队长认识了很久。并且我们队伍中也有一位人形,相信你很快就会适应的。

救援队约翰Wait, so Baltimore's ace firefighter, the one who made the news, is on your team?这么说来,那个上过报纸的巴尔的摩王牌消防员是不是就在你们队里?

救援队约翰What was her name... It was really special, I remember...她叫什么来着……好像是一个很特别的名字……

CascadiaI think you're talking about the FF-Alpha, the Doll from the Baltimore Fire Department—Chelsea.你说的应该是FF-Alpha,巴尔的摩消防局所属人形——炽。

德雷克队长Hm? I didn't think you knew her as well.哦?没想到你也知道她。

Rescue Operation - 2 驰援行动-2

Read this chapter with voices →

Richmond, at the 2057 earthquake rescue base camp.里士满,2057地震搜救营地。

德雷克队长I know you've only just joined us, but we've brought you to a place like this already. There's no need to worry, though. All the rescue missions here have pretty much been completed.虽然你刚刚入队,就把你带到这个地方。但是不用担心,这里的一轮救援任务已经基本完成了。

CascadiaThat's alright. Search and rescue is my job, after all. But according to what I know, this isn't under Baltimore's jurisdiction...没关系,搜救任务是我的职责。不过据我所知,这里并不是巴尔的摩的管辖范围……

德雷克队长While it's true that we're in Virginia now, we just so happened to have a firefighting team training in the area when an earthquake struck. So, we ended up joining in the rescue effort.虽然这里确实属于弗吉尼亚州,但我们有一支消防队恰巧在附近进行交流,交流途中意外发生了地震,就一同参与了本次救援行动。

德雷克队长Our job is to take over for this team and complete the remaining rescue objectives in Richmond.而我们就是来接替这支小队,继续完成在里士满的救援任务的。

Cascadia(They were cross-training in the area? And they were added at the last minute?)(学术交流?临时加入?)

德雷克队长Oho, looks like the person who'll be doing the handover has arrived.哦,看来交接的人已经到了。

ChelseaAhhhh... I can't do this anymore... My body's at its limit...哈啊……不行……机体快到极限了……

A fiery-red figure enters the rescue base camp.一个火红的身影走进了搜救营地。

ChelseaI'm from Baltimore Fire Department's Team 1, (yawn)... the firefighting Doll Chelsea, here to hand over search and rescue duties for the 2057 earthquake.巴尔的摩消防局1号小队,哈啊……消防人形——炽。前来交接2057地震搜救任务。

德雷克队长Thank you for your hard work, Chelsea.辛苦了,炽。

CascadiaHuh? Chelsea...诶?炽……

Cascadia stares in surprise at the petite, yawning Doll.卡斯卡迪娅有些惊讶地打量着这个打着哈欠的娇小人形。

Cascadia(This... this is... Chelsea?)(这……就是……炽?)

ChelseaYou've worked hard too, Derek. Hm? This is...你也辛苦啦,德雷克。咦?这位是……

德雷克队长This is Cascadia, who'll be joining the Baltimore Disaster Management Team from today onward. Like you, she was designed for search and rescue.这是从今天开始加入我们巴尔的摩灾害管控小队的卡斯卡迪娅。和你一样,她也是以搜救为目的而开发的。

CascadiaHello, I'm Cascadia... also from Svarog Heavy Industries.你好,我是卡斯卡迪娅……也是来自火神重工。

ChelseaThat means I'm finally someone's senior! I'm Chelsea! Glad to have you aboard!这么说我终于成为前辈了!我是炽!请多多指教!

Chelsea eagerly shakes Cascadia's hand.炽有些激动地握住了卡斯卡迪娅的手。

CascadiaHuh?诶?

Upon seeing the confused look on Cascadia's face, Derek quietly clears his throat.看着卡斯卡迪娅有些不知所措的样子,德雷克轻轻地咳嗽了一声。

德雷克队长Chelsea, how about completing the handover first?炽,先把任务交接完吧。

ChelseaEarthquake 2057 in Richmond measured 6.0 on the Richter Scale. Three hours after receiving word of the earthquake, Baltimore FD's Team 1 took part in the rescue operation.本次里士满2057地震根据判断为里氏等级6.0级地震,巴尔的摩消防局1号小队在地震发生3小时后便参与到了救援行动中。

ChelseaThe mainshock did not affect the new city center, but it did quite a bit of damage to the old city area. Fortunately, the mainshock took place during the day, and most of the inhabitants had already evacuated to disaster shelters.主震没有影响到新市中心区域,但是对旧城区造成了不小的破坏。万幸的是,主震发生在白天,并且前震中大部分人员已经采取了避难措施。

ChelseaThat, combined with the fact that the earthquake did not trigger large-scale secondary damage, means that casualties from the quake were on the low side.加上地震震源原因并未引起大面积二次损害,所以本次地震伤亡人数较少。

德雷克队长I see... So what tasks are there for us to take over?原来如此……那么需要我们接替的任务是?

ChelseaCurrently, our main objective is to clear obstacles in the old city area. Due to the complex underground infrastructure in the old city, our first priority is to eliminate the risk of fires and explosions. This is a map I've annotated with the risk levels of various regions.目前的主任务是清除旧城区的障碍,由于旧城区中管线复杂,首先要排除火灾和爆炸的风险。这是我整理的地图,上面标注了各个位置的风险程度。

ChelseaAlso, I have a list of missing persons here. There are currently 25 residents from the old city whose whereabouts are still unknown. I've compiled statements from other survivors here... they should probably indicate where the missing people went.同时这里还有一份失踪人员名单,目前根据统计还有25名旧城区的居民下落不明。这是我整理了其他幸存者的证词……大概是这些失踪人员可能前往的区域。

德雷克队长I see... It must have been hard on you guys for the past 12 days. We'll be officially taking it from here. Go get some rest.我明白了……这12天辛苦你们了。我们会正式接替你们的工作,赶紧去休息吧。

德雷克队长And I mean you especially. Haven't you been working for over 72 hours straight at this point?尤其是你,好像已经连续工作超过72小时了吧?

ChelseaI had to wait for you guys to arrive, didn't I? But yeah, now that I've handed the situation over, I really ought to get some rest.这不是得等你们来嘛。任务交接完了,我也确实应该去休息了。

德雷克队长Well, I've got no questions here. Cascadia?我这边没有疑问了,卡斯卡迪娅你呢?

CascadiaI...我……

Cascadia(Although there are fewer casualties than expected... It's been 12 days and these people might already be...)(虽然伤亡人数比计算中要少……但是已经第12天了,这些人可能已经……)

Cascadia(This might be the last chance for them... In that case, we're racing against time.)(这或许是这些人最后的机会……既然如此,我们就是和时间在赛跑。)

Chelsea notices Cascadia staring intently at the objective list and walks up to grab her hand.看着卡斯卡迪娅死死地盯着任务列表的样子,炽走上前再一次握住了卡斯卡迪娅的手。

ChelseaDon't worry. If you can't stay calm at the scene of a disaster, you'll only make things worse.不用紧张。在灾难的现场,如果不能稳定自己的心态反而会造成不好的后果。

CascadiaAh... yeah...啊……是……

ChelseaAh, that's right! You joined us, but I don't have a suitable gift for you...啊对了!明明你入队了但是却没有合适的礼物给你……

ChelseaHm... how about this! This is an Energia energy drink, the kind I really "like"! Think of it as a welcome gift!嗯……这样吧!这是我非常“喜欢”的 Energia能量补充剂哦!就送给你当做入队礼物吧!

Chelsea produces a can of energy drink out of nowhere and shoves it into Cascadia's hands without another word.炽不知道从哪里摸出来了一罐能量饮料,二话不说直接塞到了卡斯卡迪娅的手中。

ChelseaMake sure you try it, okay~ This drink is very effective for Dolls.一定要尝一尝哦~这款饮料对人形也非常有效果的。

CascadiaHuh? O...okay...诶?好……好的……

Cascadia dubiously accepts the drink from Chelsea.卡斯卡迪娅有些疑惑地接过了炽的饮料。

ChelseaWant some too, Derek?德雷克要不要也来一瓶?

德雷克队长...I'll pass.……我就不用了。

ChelseaWhat a shame, I had another can too... (yawn) This is bad, my systems are pushing me into sleep mode.真遗憾,明明我还有一罐……哈啊……不行,系统催促我必须进入休眠状态了。

ChelseaI'll be counting on you guys for the rest. If anything urgent comes up, don't hold back and just wake me up right away.接下来就拜托你们了。有紧急任务的话不用顾虑,直接唤醒我吧。

After that, Chelsea yawns again and heads to the rest area with a wave of her hand.说完炽又打了一个哈欠,摆了摆手就朝着休息区走去。

CascadiaSo that was Chelsea?这就是炽……吗?

德雷克队长Nothing like what you expected, right?是不是和想象中完全不同?

CascadiaYeah.. She was kinda surprising.嗯……确实有点出乎意料。

Cascadia(Although she wasn't like what I imagined... the info and briefing she gave us was very thorough. I'd expect nothing less of Baltimore's ace.)(虽然和我想象中不同……但是她交给我们的情报和内容都十分完善。不愧是巴尔的摩消防局的王牌。)

Cascadia(I've never tried this Energia drink before. Since the ace is recommending it, I'll give it a taste...)(Energia能量补充剂,我还从来没有喝过。既然是王牌的推荐,我就来尝试一下吧。)

Cascadia opens the can and gulps it all down.卡斯卡迪娅打开了能量饮料,毫不犹豫地往嘴里一灌。

CascadiaHng? Pffttt—呜?噗——

CascadiaPfffft.. Pehpehpeh... (coughs heavily) It's so sweet and bitter and stinky and... so spicy!噗……呸……咳咳咳……咳咳……好甜,好苦,好臭……好辣!

CascadiaWhat... what the heck is this!?这……这是什么东西啊!

Cascadia holds up the can and carefully examines the packaging.卡斯卡迪娅举起罐子,仔细地看了看包装。

CascadiaHoney... mustard... and durian flavoring... Energia energy drink...蜂蜜……芥末……榴莲口味…… Energia能量补充剂……

CascadiaWhat the hell was she trying to pull!?这人形到底在搞什么鬼啊!

德雷克队长Hehehe, Chelsea's spiked drinks are the stuff of legend in our team. Well, how is it? Not feeling so tense anymore, right?呵呵呵,炽的恶魔饮料,这也算是我们队伍的传统了。怎么样,是不是不那么紧张了?

CascadiaHuh? I...诶?我……

系统Neural cloud turbulence has decreased.心智紊乱率降低。

CascadiaWas I... really that tense just now?我刚刚……一直很紧张吗?

德雷克队长Chelsea might be a bit different from your mental image of her, but she's very sensitive to certain details.或许炽和你想象中有一些不同,但是她对于一些小细节非常敏感。

德雷克队长This is her way of cheering people up. Like she said, if you can't stay calm at the scene of a disaster, you'll only make things worse.这是她用来鼓励人的方式。正如她所说的一样,在灾难的现场,如果不能稳定自己的心态反而会造成不好的后果。

Beepbeepbeep—嘀嘀嘀——

Cascadia picks up her communicator and a message from a new contact shows up.卡斯卡迪娅拿起通讯器,一条新联系人的信息显示出来。

信息Hope that little prank helped you loosen up. Do your best!一个小小的恶作剧,希望能够缓解你的紧张。加油!

ChelseaSure thing! Come, I'll show you how professional your senior is!好嘞,就让我来展示一下作为前辈的专业性吧!

Rescue Operation - 3 驰援行动-3

Read this chapter with voices →

Inside a pile of rubble, Cascadia gingerly dislodges a fallen piece of debris.在一片废墟之中,卡斯卡迪娅小心地搬开一块落石。

CascadiaThis is bad... Life signs have vanished.不行……已经没有生命体征了……

An arm hangs down limply below the wreckage. From the readouts on Cascadia's instrumentation, this person is already dead.在废墟之下是一只无力下垂的手臂。根据卡斯卡迪娅的仪器检测,这一名遇难者已经离世了。

CascadiaI'm sorry I was late.对不起,我来晚了。

Cascadia digs out the body of the deceased and closes her eyes.卡斯卡迪娅将遇难者挖了出来,帮她合上了双眼。

德雷克队长Cascadia, how are things on your end?卡斯卡迪娅,你那边情况如何?

CascadiaI found the body of one of the missing persons... I've sent you the coordinates.这边发现了一具失踪人员的遗体……坐标已经发送。

德雷克队长...Understood...……我知道了……

CascadiaI'll keep searching...我将继续搜索……

德雷克队长Alright... Cascadia, remember the order I gave when we split up. Don't initiate any rescues alone!好……卡斯卡迪娅,记住我们分头行动时候的指令,不要单独行动!

CascadiaRoger that.了解。

Cascadia hangs up.卡斯卡迪娅挂断了通讯。

CascadiaThere'll be someone to bring you home afterward... I'm so sorry, but you'll have to keep waiting for a bit longer.之后会有队伍来把你带回家……抱歉,还请你多等等。

Cascadia works her way through the rubble, exploring the area by herself.卡斯卡迪娅翻越了废墟,一个人继续在区域中探索。

As a Doll outfitted with the latest in rescue technology, Cascadia's search radius vastly exceeds that of normal search and rescue instruments.作为搭载了最新型搜救模块的人形,卡斯卡迪娅的探测范围远超过了一般的搜救仪器。

That was also why Cascadia suggested that she operate independently at the start of the operation.也因此,卡斯卡迪娅在行动开始时就提出了分队行动。由自己一个人进行搜索。

CascadiaIt's been 12 days since the mainshock... Any longer and the chances of finding and rescuing the missing people...从主震发生以来已经超过12天了……再拖延下去这些失踪人员获救的可能性只会更低……

CascadiaAccording to the information I was given... there's still a boy who went missing in this area that hasn't been found yet...根据资料……这片区域的失踪人员中还有一名男孩没有被发现……

CascadiaBut...但是……

Her sensor modules are not giving her any feedback.搜救模块的传感器没有任何的回应。

CascadiaAm I... too late once again?难道……我又来迟了吗……

Cascadia goes round and round in her current area, and just as she's about to move on, her sensor modules capture a faint sound.卡斯卡迪娅反反复复在当前区域徘徊,就在她决定前往下一个搜索地点时,搜救模块捕捉到了一个轻微的响声。

CascadiaIs that a voice!?声音?!

Cascadia shuts down all her other modules and focuses all her system capacity on her vital sign-detecting radar.卡斯卡迪娅停止了其他模块的运转,将所有的性能集中在雷达生命探测仪中。

Taptaptap—哒哒哒——

The clear, crisp sound draws Cascadia's attention. She follows the radar's indication carefully toward a piece of rubble.清脆的声音吸引了卡斯卡迪娅的注意,根据雷达的指示,卡斯卡迪娅小心翼翼地搬起一块残骸。

CascadiaThis is it!就在这里!

A young boy is knocking on a nearby piece of rubble with a stone from inside the rubble.在废墟之中,一名年幼的少年正用石头敲击着身体附近的残骸发出声响。

CascadiaSir! I've found...报告!我发现了……

Before Cascadia can begin her report, she hears a chaotic blend of voices from the communicator.还没有等卡斯卡迪娅开始汇报,就听到通讯器中传来了混乱的声音。

通讯The survivor's lost too much blood! Move that rubble, now!遇难者失血过多!移开废墟!快!

通讯We can't! Her leg is pinned underneath it and there's a piece of rebar piercing her thigh.不行!她的脚被压在废墟下了,钢筋穿过了大腿!

通讯Bring up the cutter and make sure you don't hurt the survivor!上切割机,注意不要伤到遇难者!

CascadiaIs this... Did Captain Derek and the others run into trouble?这是……德雷克队长他们遇到麻烦了?

The shrill noise of the cutter comes through the communicator.通讯器中传来了切割机刺耳的响声。

德雷克队长Cascadia? Is that you? How are things on your side?卡斯卡迪娅?是你吗?你那边情况如何?

CascadiaI found a missing person here, it's that boy. Captain Derek, what's happening on your end...我这边发现了失踪人员,是那名男孩。德雷克队长,你们那边是……

德雷克队长We found a survivor here, too... I'll have the base camp send a team to help you out.我们这边也发现了遇难者……我会让营地派出支援小队来支援你!

德雷克队长Until then, keep an eye on the survivor and report immediately if anything happens! Do NOT attempt a solo rescue!在那之前,注意遇难者的情况,有什么事情随时汇报!不要擅自行动!

CascadiaUnderstood...我明白了……

Cascadia hangs up and looks at the boy in the rubble once again.卡斯卡迪娅挂断了通讯,再一次看向了废墟中的男孩。

CascadiaRelax, we'll get you out of there right away.放心吧,我们马上救你出来。

Cascadia inspects the condition of the collapsed area.卡斯卡迪娅顺着缝隙仔细观察了坍塌的状态。

CascadiaFrom the looks of things... this was probably one of those fully automated shopping malls... The building's kind of old, but the walls seem to have collapsed in a triangular shape...从外观来看……这应该是一个无人超市……建筑历史比较久,但是倒塌的建筑在遇难者周围形成了一个三角形……

CascadiaMaybe... If I could reinforce the surrounding wreckage, I could get the boy out of there.或许只需要加固一下周围的残骸……就可以救出这个孩子。

少年(Groans)呜……呜呜……

The boy in the debris opens his mouth as if to speak, but he can only make hoarse sounds.废墟中的少年张开嘴,想要说些什么,但是却只能发出沙哑的声音。

CascadiaHang in there! Help is on the way!坚持住!支援马上就来!

Cascadia quickly inspects the victim's condition.卡斯卡迪娅抓紧观察遇难者的状态。

CascadiaFrom the condition of his lips and his skin, she can tell that he's dehydrated... There are no obvious external injuries, but his breathing suggests that he's not in good shape...从嘴唇和皮肤来判断,遇难者中度缺水……外部没有明显的伤痕……但是从呼吸来看状态并不稳定。

少年(Winces)呜……

The boy struggles to reach out to Cascadia, but then his arm limply droops down.少年朝着卡斯卡迪娅伸出了手,但是又无力地垂了下去。

CascadiaHey! Kid! Can you hear me? Stay awake! Hey!喂!孩子!听得到吗!保持清醒!喂!

However, Cascadia gets no answer.然而卡斯卡迪娅没有得到任何的回应。

CascadiaThe survivor lost consciousness! I can't determine his exact condition...遇难者失去意识!无法判断详细状况……

少女Help me...救救我……

The girl in the rubble reaches out to Cascadia.在废墟中的少女向卡斯卡迪娅伸出了手。

CascadiaUgh...唔……

The boy's outstretched arm overlaps with the scene from her memories, and Cascadia grits her teeth.少年伸出的手臂和记忆中的景象重合。卡斯卡迪娅咬了咬牙。

CascadiaThis building has collapsed, but it still seems largely intact...这栋建筑虽然坍塌,但是建筑的残骸还算是完整……

CascadiaCalculating material density... I've got enough output to shift this debris... I might not need help to make the rescue after all...计算材料质量……我的出力可以直接移动这些残骸……或许并不需要支援……

CascadiaIn order to preserve the stability of the rubble... I need to temporarily reinforce these areas...为了保证移动残骸时候的稳定性……需要临时加固这几个地方……

Cascadia carefully excavates a small chunk of debris, but the rubble makes no sound.卡斯卡迪娅小心翼翼地挖开了一小块残骸。废墟没有发出任何的声音。

CascadiaLooks like it's workable!看来……计划可行!

CascadiaWait for me, I won't fail again...等等我,这一次我不会再失败了……

Cascadia slowly moves the debris aside.卡斯卡迪娅一点点将残骸小心翼翼地移开。

CascadiaWhew... That's the last piece...呼……这是最后一块……

The debris pinning the boy down is gone, and Cascadia carefully picks him up.覆盖住少年的残骸已经全部被清除。卡斯卡迪娅小心翼翼地抱起了男孩。

CascadiaNo head injuries, slight leg injuries, no bleeding...头部没有伤痕,腿部有轻微的伤痕,但是没有流血……

CascadiaBreathing's a little uneven... Heart rate, too... I need to get him back to base camp ASAP.呼吸状态比较紊乱……心率也……必须马上送回营地。

Cascadia lifts up the boy and prepares to return to the base camp. However, before she can take a step, a frantic alert comes from her rescue modules.卡斯卡迪娅抱起男孩就准备朝着搜救营地前进。但是还没有等卡斯卡迪娅迈开脚步,搜救模块中传来了一阵急促的警报声。

CascadiaA temblor?! ...This is bad!地震波?!……不好!

A powerful aftershock accompanies the alert, and the shaking is almost enough to make Cascadia lose her footing.伴随着警报声而来的是强烈的余震,震动的地面让卡斯卡迪娅一时难以保持平衡。

Cascadia(This is bad! The aftershock is too strong; I need to get out of the rubble!)(不行!余震烈度过高,必须离开废墟!)

Crash—哗啦——

Before Cascadia can react, the sound of collapsing masonry comes from behind Cascadia.但是还没有等卡斯卡迪娅反应过来,一声崩塌声从卡斯卡迪娅身后传来。

Cascadia doesn't hesitate; she immediately shields the boy in her arms with her body.卡斯卡迪娅没有犹豫,用自己的身体死死地护住了怀中的少年。

CascadiaI... I have to save him!我一定要……把他救出去!

????The survivor was killed in the explosion... The rescue mission was a failure.遇难者在爆炸中直接身亡……搜救任务失败了。

????None of us expected an explosion. It's not your fault.我们都没有预料到会发生爆炸。这不是你的错。

CascadiaUgh...呜……

Cascadia winces in pain as she opens her eyes.卡斯卡迪娅痛苦地睁开了眼睛。

ChelseaAh! Cascadia, you're awake! Sorry, all the beds are being used by survivors, so you'll just have to make do here for a bit.啊!你醒了,卡斯卡迪娅!抱歉,现在床位都给伤患使用了,你只能在这里将就一下。

ChelseaWe found you holding a boy at the entrance to the base camp and dragged you in.我们发现你抱着一个孩子倒在了营地的门口,就急忙把你抬进来了。

CascadiaI... That's right, what about the boy!?我……对了,那个孩子!

Cascadia bounces up from the ground.卡斯卡迪娅从地上弹了起来。

ChelseaSlow down! He hasn't woken up yet; the paramedics are still working on him.慢一点!那个孩子还没有醒来,还在进行抢救。

Chelsea moves to help support Cascadia.炽扶住了卡斯卡迪娅。

ChelseaYou, on the other hand, overloaded a bunch of modules and although we changed some parts for you, you still need to finish your self-diagnostic.倒是你身上有几处模块过载,虽然我们更换了零件,但是你还得先完成自我检测。

CascadiaDamage... repairs...受损……修复……

ChelseaYour neural cloud went into sleep mode to protect yourself, probably because your damaged modules were causing short-circuits.大概是因为受损的模块带来的短路,你的心智暂时进入了休眠以自我保护。

CascadiaRight, there was an aftershock back then...对了,当时发生了余震……

CascadiaThank goodness... I managed to save someone this time... I finally made it...太好了……这一次我终于救出来了……我终于赶上了……

Cascadia(Captain Franklin won't be disappointed with this outcome, right...)(这样的话……富兰克林队长也不会对我失望了吧……)

???Ahem. Sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to have a word with Cascadia.咳咳,炽打扰了,我有几句话想要和卡斯卡迪娅说一下。

Derek opens the tent flap and walks over to Cascadia.德雷克推开了帐篷的门帘,走到了卡斯卡迪娅的身边。

CascadiaCaptain Derek?德雷克队长?

ChelseaHuh? What are you doing back here, Derek?咦?德雷克你也回来了啊。

德雷克队长I came over the moment I got your transmission.接到了你的通讯后,我就已经赶到了。

CascadiaCaptain Derek... Do you mean...德雷克队长……你想要说的是……

德雷克队长Sorry, Chelsea, but would you mind stepping outside for a bit?炽,抱歉,请你先离开一下吧。

Chelsea...Okay, I guess... I'll go see if there are any more orders for us.……好吧……我去看看有没有什么新的指令。

ChelseaYou really should soften your face up a little, Derek, you look way too strict.德雷克,你的表情太严肃了,稍微放松一下。

Chelsea pats Derek on the shoulder as she leaves.炽临走之前拍了拍德雷克的肩膀。

After seeing her go, Derek turns back to look at Cascadia, a stern look on his face.看到炽转身离开了临时帐篷,德雷克严肃地盯着卡斯卡迪娅。

德雷克队长Cascadia, do you remember what I told you to do at the start of the operation?卡斯卡迪娅,在行动开始时我是怎么交代你的?

Cascadia...You asked me to report anything that came up to you immediately...……遇到任何事情都必须汇报……

德雷克队长And?还有呢?

CascadiaNot to conduct solo rescue operations...不许擅自行动……

德雷克队长In that case, why did you not obey my orders and wait for us to come support you?既然如此,为什么不听从我们的命令等待我们的支援?

CascadiaBecause that boy was in very bad shape... He was trapped in there for 12 days since the mainshock!因为那个孩子的状况非常糟糕……从主震开始来计算他已经被困在那里12天了!

CascadiaBack then, I calculated that I could have effected a one-person rescue. It would have taken at least 2 hours for a team from the base camp to reach us!而且我已经计算过了,当时的状况我一个人就可以实施救援。如果等候营地的队伍支援,最快也需要2个小时!

CascadiaI believe that completing rescue missions and saving lives is something I should do as a rescue Doll.完成搜救任务,拯救生命,这是我作为搜救人形应该做到的事情。

德雷克队长Neither of those justifies you acting on your own.这些不能成为你独自行动的理由。

德雷克队长What if the aftershock had been any more severe? Both you and the boy were in the danger area. Did you not consider what would have happened to him if Chelsea had not found the two of you in time?如果余震的情况再恶劣一点你要怎么办?当时你和那个孩子就暴露在危险区内,你有没有考虑过,如果不是炽及时发现了你们,那个孩子的情况会怎么样?

CascadiaI... even if the worst had come to pass, my specs and rescue modules would have been enough...我……即使遇到极限的情况,我的性能和搜救模块也足够……

CascadiaI just... I didn't want to see another survivor... in front of me again...我只是……不想再看到遇难者在我面前……

德雷克队长But the fact is, you forced yourself to complete a rescue and placed both yourself and the survivor in greater danger.然而事实是,你勉强自己完成救援把自己和遇难者置身于更大的风险之中。

CascadiaI...我……

Cascadia lowers her head.卡斯卡迪娅低下头。

德雷克队长...Franklin was right. You really are in bad shape. You're in no condition to continue this rescue operation.……富兰克林说的对,你现在的状态非常糟糕。并不适合继续搜救行动。

CascadiaHuh? Did the captain...诶?队长他……

德雷克队长He wanted to get you into a different environment so you could sort yourself out and learn from a unit with an attached Doll... But we forgot about how unstable you are now.本来他想要通过转换环境让你好好调整一下。在配备了人形的队伍中学习……但是我们忽略了你现在的不稳定。

德雷克队长I was too anxious... I shouldn't have let you leave my line of sight.是我太过着急了……我不应该让你离开我的视线范围的。

Cascadia...But... what did I do wrong?……我到底……做错了什么?

德雷克队长Do you know why every rescue operation is equipped with excess gear and supplies for what is estimated?你知道为什么救援队的每一次行动,都要配备超出预计情况的配置吗?

CascadiaAh...这个……

德雷克队长Rescue teams are not places where you can push yourself beyond what you can handle. We don't subscribe to one-man heroics here. Rescue operations always take place in risky, dangerous environments, which is why you need to keep yourself centered and stable.救援队不是逞强的地方,我们从不提倡个人英雄主义。救援行动总是在高风险的危险地区展开,所以更需要确保稳定性。

德雷克队长What we want is for every survivor AND every rescuer to come back safely.我们想让每一个受难者,每一个队员都安全归来。

Beepbeepbeep—嘀嘀嘀——

Derek puts the call through.德雷克接通了通讯器。

德雷克队长It's me... you think you've spotted one of the missing persons? Okay, I'll head over right now!是我……发现疑似失踪人员?好的,我马上带队过去!

CascadiaI'll go, too!我也要去!

Cascadia rises to her feet, but Derek puts a hand on her shoulder to stop her.卡斯卡迪娅撑着地面站了起来,却被德雷克按住了肩膀。

德雷克队长Cascadia, I order you to stand by in the base camp and wait for further instructions.卡斯卡迪娅队员,我命令你在营地中待命。

CascadiaWhat... But why...诶……为什么……

德雷克队长There are two reasons for this. The first is because your repairs were only just completed and you haven't finished your self-diagnostics yet.理由有两个,第一个是你的修复刚刚完成,还没有完成自检。

德雷克队长I cannot allow a team member who is not in top condition to take part in a search and rescue operation.我不能让不在状态的队员参与到搜救行动中。

德雷克队长As for the second reason... Right now, rescues are too radical and dangerous for you in your current state.至于第二个理由……现在的你,对于救援来说太过于极端和危险了。

CascadiaRadical... and dangerous?极端……危险?

德雷克队长We'll talk about how you disobeyed orders later.针对你违反命令的事情,等我们完成任务后再说。

德雷克队长Until then, you are to stay in the base camp and think about where you went wrong.在那之前,你在营地里好好思考一下自己问题究竟出在哪里吧。

CascadiaYes... I understand...是……我明白了……

Derek looks like he's about to say something else as he looks at Cascadia's crestfallen face, but in the end, he shakes his head and leaves the tent.看着卡斯卡迪娅有些失落的样子,德雷克本来还想说点什么,但是最终还是摇摇头离开了帐篷。

CascadiaRadical... and dangerous...极端……危险……

Cascadia"What we want is for every survivor to come back safely." ...But that's what I want, too...“让每一个受难者都安全归来”……明明我也是这么希望的……

CascadiaWhat on earth should I do...我到底该怎么做……

Standing by. This is the second time Cascadia has been ordered to stand by ever since that fire.待命,自从那一次火灾以来,这是卡斯卡迪娅第二次被命令待命了。

Cascadia suddenly feels a pair of icy-cold hands reaching under her clothes and roaming all over her torso.卡斯卡迪娅明显地感受到有一双冰冷的手伸进了自己衣服之中,在自己的腰腹摩擦。

Cascadia springs to her feet, and then she notices a bright red figure standing behind her.卡斯卡迪娅急忙起身,然后就看到一个火红的身影。

CascadiaWhat the heck are you doing!?你到底在干什么啊!

ChelseaHehe, you looked like you were spacing out, so I decided to come say hi.嘻嘻,看到你在这里发呆,我就想来打个招呼。

ChelseaBut then you looked so down in the dumps that I thought I should try to cheer you up first.但是又看着你没有什么精神,所以就想试试可不可以让你提起点精神。

CascadiaHuh? Me?诶?我?

ChelseaMy team's heading out in about 10 minutes or so. We received a distress signal from underneath a collapsed building. It seems there are several people who need to be rescued.我的小队预计在十分钟后完成准备出发,有一栋下沉的建筑中传来了求救信号,几名遇难者正在等待救援。

ChelseaAs it just so happens, I'm short on manpower, and I was looking for a person or two to move out with us.正好我觉得人手有些不够,想要再找一两个人和我们一起出发。

Cascadia(The overall structure hasn't been too badly deformed, but some parts of the foundation are starting to sink...)(建筑主结构没有太严重的形变,但是建筑的地基比起数据有轻微的下沉……)

As Cascadia helps Chelsea with her equipment, she reviews the structural scan produced by her rescue modules.卡斯卡迪娅一边帮炽调整好设备,一边通过搜救模块扫描眼前的建筑。

CascadiaGear check complete.装备检查完毕。

ChelseaI'm done here, too... Right, let's start by eliminating any electrical, fire, and gas hazards!我这边也检查好了……首先排查电,火,气风险!

Under Chelsea's direction, the rescue team begins dealing with any risk factors that could lead to a secondary incident.在炽的指挥之下,救援队开始有条不紊地排查一切可能造成二次灾害的风险。

Cascadia...Power line found and shut down.……发现漏电处,已处理。

ChelseaGas valves secured, electricity's cut... There's a safety door here. It's slightly deformed.确认煤气阀门安全性,已经断电……发现安全门,安全门有轻微的形变。

Chelsea tries to shift it, but the safety door won't budge.炽尝试拉动安全门,但是安全门却纹丝不动。

ChelseaIt's stuck... And forcing it open would need a lot of time... Would it be better if we just cut through it...安全门被卡住了……拆除需要花费不少的时间……直接破拆或许是更好的选择吗……

Cascadia(If this is a power conduit... then is this a ventilation duct?)(这里如果是电线的管道的话……那么这里是通风井?)

CascadiaChelsea, how about this place?炽,不如试试这个位置?

ChelseaLet me see... Yeah, the structure here is definitely easier to cut through.我看看……这里的结构确实比较适合破拆。

ChelseaIn that case, I'll designate this as Demo Point One. Cascadia, we'll break it down together!既然如此,就把这里设立为第一破拆点吧。卡斯卡迪娅,你和我一起破拆!

ChelseaWe'll leave two people here as anchormen for the ropes. Everyone else, try the elevator shaft.留两个人在这里准备架设绳索,其余人试试电梯井的位置。

CascadiaGot it.我明白了。

Cascadia picks up her tools and begins working on Demo Point One with Chelsea.卡斯卡迪娅拿起工具,对着炽定下的第一破拆点开始施工。

Cascadia begins making an incision with her cutter while Chelsea drenches the cutting area with water to keep it cool.卡斯卡迪娅用切割机开始切割,而炽则是在一旁端着水枪为切割机和地面之间降温。

Cascadia(Hm? The efficiency is...)(咦?效率比计算中……)

Soon, Cascadia has carved out a hole.不一会,卡斯卡迪娅就清理出了一个洞口。

ChelseaInterior attack team ready! Cascadia and I will back you up! Everyone, put your safety lines on!内攻组准备!我和卡斯卡迪娅辅助!所有人佩戴好安全绳!

The pulleys and rope anchors are set up as Chelsea directs.在炽的指挥之下,滑轮组和绳索被架设完毕。

消防队员Ma'am, we've found three survivors here. They're in good shape. We'll be roping them up and sending them up to you, so be ready.报告,我们已经发现遇难者。三人状态良好,做好准备,我们会通过绳索将他们送上去。

ChelseaWhew...呼……

After hearing the good news from the interior team, Chelsea breathes a sigh of relief.听到了内攻小队传来的好消息,炽松了一口气。

CascadiaChelsea, this place is stabilized. I think we should move on to the next rescue point.炽,这里的情况已经稳定,我认为我应该前往下一个搜救地点进行准备。

ChelseaNo... For safety's sake, let's wait until everyone gets out first before moving on.不……保险起见,还是等所有人员被救出后再行动吧。

Cascadia...Understood.……我明白了。

With the help of the internal attack team, Chelsea watches as each of the survivors is extracted on ropes, and the tension eases from her face.在内攻小队的辅助之下,看着绳索一个个将遇难者救出,炽的脸上也放松了下来。

CascadiaWait... weren't there only three victims? But the weight on the rope...等等……不是说遇难者只有三人吗?但是绳索的承重……

Cascadia looks at the rope, which has started fraying from the load on it, and the engineering students who were rescued.卡斯卡迪娅看着明显受到拉力影响的绳索,和已经被救上来的工程院学生。

ChelseaHuh? Are there more victims below? But our scan results only showed three people...咦?难道下面还有遇难者?但刚才的探测结果显示只有三个人……

Even Chelsea is starting to feel suspicious. The students and the rescue team exchange looks.就连炽也有一些疑惑,工程学院的学生和其他搜救队员也面面相觑。

学生But there were only three of us in that basement...地下室一直只有我们三个人啊……

消防队员We didn't find any other survivors either.我们也没有发现有别的遇难者。

ChelseaWell, let's just try and haul it up... Ugh...不论如何先尝试拉上来吧……呜……

Chelsea takes hold of the rope, but her body freezes up.炽抓住了绳索,但是身体却明显顿了顿。

ChelseaMan, this is heavy... Guys, lend me a hand...好重……大家来帮……

Beepbeepbeep!嘀嘀嘀!

A hasty alert echoes through Cascadia's mind.急促的警告声在卡斯卡迪娅的脑海中响起。

CascadiaA temblor... And one of this magnitude! Everyone, look out! There's a powerful aftershock incoming!地震波……这个震级!大家注意!强余震!

Just as Cascadia finishes speaking, everyone feels the earth shaking.卡斯卡迪娅话音刚落,所有人立刻感受到一股剧烈的震动。

Crash—哗啦——

ChelseaEveryone, look out! Evacuate now!全体注意!紧急避难!

The rescue team members immediately shelter the people they just rescued as they look for a sturdy building to shelter in.搜救队员们立刻护着遇难者们找到了建筑坚固的地方隐蔽起来。

ChelseaUrgh... I can't... It's too heavy...呜……不行……太重了……

Chelsea maintains a death grip on the rope, but she still can't haul it up.炽死死地抓着绳索,但是却没有办法将绳索拉起。

Boom!嘭!

The sound of metal tearing fills the air, and the sturdy pulley suddenly rips apart.一声金属断裂的声音传来。原本坚固的滑轮组突然断裂。

ChelseaAiiieeee!?诶?!

Without the help of the pulley system, Chelsea is pulled forward by the rope and flung into the hole.突然失去滑轮组的辅助,炽整个人被绳索牵动,整个人朝着洞口滑去。

CascadiaChelsea! No! You can't!炽!不!不可以!

Upon seeing Chelsea's situation, Cascadia throws herself forward without any hesitation and grabs Chelsea's safety line.看到炽的状态,卡斯卡迪娅毫不犹豫地扑了上去,抓住了炽身上的安全绳。

CascadiaUgh... This weight...呜……这个重量……

Although her body is nearing its maximum output, Cascadia grits her teeth and does not let go—she knows that if she does, Chelsea and whatever's on the other end of the rope will plunge into the abyss of death.尽管机体的出力已经接近极限,但卡斯卡迪娅依旧死死地咬着牙,没有松手——她知道一旦脱力,炽和绳子另一端的遇难者都将坠入死亡的深渊。

ChelseaCascadia! Hang in there! The aftershock won't last long!卡斯卡迪娅!坚持住!余震持续时间不会很长!

CascadiaI know!我知道!

Cascadia stabilizes her body. With the strength of a rescue Doll, Cascadia soon manages to help Chelsea regain her balance.卡斯卡迪娅稳固住自己的身体。凭借搜救人形的力量,卡斯卡迪娅很快协助炽重新找回受力平衡。

CascadiaThe aftershock is weakening!地震波减弱了!

ChelseaNow, hurry!趁现在,快!

ChelseaUgh... What the hell has this guy been eating... why's he so damn heavy...呜……这个人到底吃了啥啊……怎么这么沉……

Cascadia(Grunts) Hurry and pull... wait, what?呜……快拉……嗯?

Cascadia and Chelsea's combined efforts pull an orange-yellow shape from underground.在卡斯卡迪娅和炽的努力之下,一个橘黄色的身影被从地下拖了出来。

CascadiaEh? What the heck is this?!诶……这是……什么?!

ChelseaNow that we've secured the safety of the victims, let's recover our ropes and gear and prepare to dust off.这样一来就确保遇难者安全了,接下来就回收绳索和装备,准备回撤吧。

At the rescue site, Cascadia looks at the orange mecha-hound with mild exasperation.救援现场,卡斯卡迪娅有些无奈地看着蹭着炽的橘黄色机械犬。

ChelseaHahahaha, and I was wondering why it was so heavy...哈哈哈哈,我就说为什么这么重啊……

CascadiaA gigantic chainsaw... and this color scheme... Is it an engineering mecha-hound?巨大的链锯……还有这个颜色……工程用的机械狗?

学生That's... It's an engineering robot we were researching...这是……我们学校在研究的工程用机械……

Cascadia(Sigh)唉……

Cascadia slumps to the ground and shakes her head in chagrin.卡斯卡迪娅瘫坐在地上。无奈地摇了摇头。

CascadiaI thought we'd left out a survivor... To think it would be a mecha-hound instead.本以为是我们遗漏了遇难者……没想到居然是台机械。

Cascadia(We went to all that effort and in the end we didn't even rescue a human being...)(废了那么大力气……结果救出来的甚至不是人……)

ChelseaCascadia? What's wrong?卡斯卡迪娅?怎么了?

CascadiaIt's nothing... I just feel a little disappointed.没什么……只是感觉有点沮丧。

CascadiaSvarog HI designed me to save as many people as possible, but I haven't been able to do that much since I joined the rescue team.火神重工设计我的时候希望我能够拯救更多的人,但是,加入救援队以来,我却一直没能做到更多。

CascadiaI haven't been able to live up to everyone's expectations... And according to the data, I wasn't able to perform the functions I ought to have filled as a search and rescue Doll.我没能回应大家的期待……根据数据,我其实根本没有发挥作为搜救人形应该有的能力。

Cascadia dejectedly shakes her head.卡斯卡迪娅失落地摇了摇头。

CascadiaI ought to be taking on more responsibility... But the truth is, you could have finished this rescue mission without me.我明明应该承担更多的责任……其实这里的搜救行动就算没有我也可以完成。

CascadiaI didn't actually help at all...我其实什么忙都没有帮上……

ChelseaI think you were a great help, Cascadia. Didn't you save me and this little guy just now?我觉得卡斯卡迪娅已经帮上忙了啊,刚刚你不是救了我和这个孩子吗?

CascadiaHuh?咦?

ChelseaYou only managed to catch my safety rope because you agreed to come along.正是因为卡斯卡迪娅接受了我的邀请,所以在刚刚才能抓住我的安全绳啊。

ChelseaOtherwise, I'd have fallen in along with this chap, right?不然我就和这个孩子一起坠落了不是吗?

CascadiaI...我……

The orange mecha-hound walks up to Cascadia and rubs against her affectionately.橘黄色的机械狗走到了卡斯卡迪娅的身边,亲昵地蹭了蹭。

ChelseaLooks like he's pretty grateful, too.看来这个孩子也很感谢你啊。

ChelseaYou always run into surprises when performing rescues, and no matter how strong you are, there's a limit to how much you can do by yourself.救援的时候总会遇到各种突发情况,一个人的力量不论多么强大都是有限的。

ChelseaBut... If you've got a friend with you, or a team... Then you can overcome your difficulties like you did just now.但是……如果在身边有其他的同伴,其他的队伍……就可以像刚刚那样解决困难。

德雷克队长Do you know why every rescue operation is equipped with excess gear and supplies for what is estimated?你知道为什么救援队的每一次行动,都要配备超出预计情况的配置吗?

德雷克队长Rescue teams are not places where you can push yourself beyond what you can handle. We don't subscribe to one-man heroics here. Rescue operations always take place in risky, dangerous environments, which is why you need to keep yourself centered and stable.救援队不是逞强的地方,我们从不提倡个人英雄主义。救援行动总是在高风险的危险地区展开,所以更需要确保稳定性。

救援队约翰The experiences of the past will become your strength in the future, but you must not attempt to take everything onto yourself. I hope you have a worthwhile learning experience in your new team.过去的经验会成为明天的力量,但是切忌将一切压在自己身上,祝你在新的小队中学习顺利。

救援队约翰That's what he said.队长他是这么说的。

CascadiaI...我……

Cascadia looks at the mecha-hound and then at Chelsea.卡斯卡迪娅看了看机械狗,又看了看炽。

CascadiaIs that... how it is?原来……是这样吗?

ChelseaI think that's what Derek was trying to tell you.我想这就是德雷克想要告诉你的事情。

CascadiaYeah... Perhaps I could... Hm?嗯……我或许……嗯?

CascadiaWait, how did you know about my conversation with Captain Derek?!为什么你会知道我和德雷克队长的谈话?

ChelseaAh..啊……

Chelsea's face freezes up.炽表情一僵。

ChelseaHahaha, I have no idea what you're talking about, I totally wasn't eavesdropping on your conversation or anything...哈哈哈,你在说什么我完全不知道啊……我绝对没有偷听哦。

As Cascadia sees Chelsea trying to look at anything but her, she smiles.看着炽游离的表情,卡斯卡迪娅微微一笑。

CascadiaThank you, Chelsea. Sorry for making you worry about me.谢谢你,炽。让你为我担心了。

ChelseaI have nooooo idea what you're talking about~ Come on; we still have another location to hit.听不懂听不懂。走了走了!还要前往下一个地方呢。

CascadiaYes, yes, yes...是是是……

Richmond, at the 2057 earthquake rescue base camp.里士满,2057地震搜救营地。

Cascadia(Winces) Captain Derek scolded me and Chelsea...呜……和炽一起被德雷克队长教训了……

Cascadia(Sigh)唉……

CascadiaEven Chelsea couldn't weasel her way out in front of Captain Derek.就算是炽,也没能在德雷克队长面前狡辩成功啊。

Cascadia finds a corner to sit down in.卡斯卡迪娅找了一个角落坐在了地上。

CascadiaThat's right, I never got to read that letter which the Captain sent me...对了,之前队长发来了邮件,一直没时间看……

To Cascadia, from Franklin.致卡斯卡迪娅,来自富兰克林。

Upon seeing the familiar name on the page, Cascadia takes a deep breath. She had not opened the letter before this, but her conversation with Chelsea has given her the courage to do so.看着发件人栏熟悉的名字,卡斯卡迪娅深吸了一口气。她之前一直没有打开信件,但现在,和炽的谈话给了她勇气。

Cascadia, you've probably arrived at the Baltimore Disaster Management Team by now.卡斯卡迪娅,今天你应该已经前往巴尔的摩灾害管控小队了吧。

First of all, I'd like to wish you all the best.首先在这里祝你一切顺利。

CascadiaCaptain...队长……

You must be very confused about why I chose to make a decision like this.你一定很疑惑,为什么我会做出这样的决定。

First and foremost, you are very capable, Cascadia. There is no doubt about that.首先,卡斯卡迪娅,你很优秀,这一点是毋庸置疑的。

However, it is because you are so capable that you have taken everything onto your own shoulders.但是正因为你太过于优秀,所以你选择了将一切扛在了自己的身上。

CascadiaCaptain... I wanted to do better...队长……我其实是想做得更好……

You've been pushing yourself too hard ever since that operation. You drove yourself until you were hurt all over just to complete the mission.在那一天的行动后,你一直在勉强自己。为了完成任务,不惜把自己搞得浑身是伤。

Even so, I want to tell you this: what happened that day was not your fault. You did your best, and nobody was to blame for that accident back then.但是我还是想这么和你说,那天发生的事情不是你的错。你已经做到了你的最好,那一天发生的意外不是任何人的错。

Unexpected situations invariably arise in a rescue scenario. You could even say that a rescue operation is a battle of man against nature, written in blood and tears. There is a limit to a single person's strength, no matter how strong he or she is. That is why we are a rescue TEAM. That is why things like "saturation rescue" exist.救援的时候总会遇到各种突发情况,甚至救援行动就是人类与自然搏斗的血泪史。一个人的力量不论多么强大都是有限的,因此我们才会有救援队,才会有名为饱和式救援的救援方式。

CascadiaHuh, Chelsea said the same thing, too...呼,炽也是这么说的啊……

A rescue team will never make anyone bear the entire burden alone.对于救援队来说,我们从来不会让任何一个人独自承担一切。

Remember, a rescue isn't something that just one person, or two, or even an entire team can bear.记住,救援永远不是一个人……也不是两个人,甚至不是一个小队所在承担的。

I hope you'll be able to come to terms with this and learn something in your new team. This is Franklin, looking forward to your return.希望你能够在新的队伍中调整和学习……我,期待你的归来。富兰克林致上。

CascadiaSo that's it, huh...原来是这样吗……

Cascadia closes her terminal and looks into the distance—where her team is.卡斯卡迪娅关上终端,看向远处——那是自己的队伍所在的方向。

CascadiaThank you, Captain. I'll do my best to follow what you, Captain Derek and Chelsea have said... I'll try to rely more on my friends.谢谢,队长。我会试试按照你和德雷克队长以及炽所说的那样……尝试去依靠自己的队友们。

ChelseaSo that's where you were, Cascadia!原来你在这里呀,卡斯卡迪娅!

CascadiaHuh? Chelsea? I thought Captain Derek was still scolding you...咦,炽?你不是还在被德雷克队长说教……

ChelseaAw, he's waaaaay too strict. Kept nagging and nagging even though I told him I wouldn't do it again. So I snuck out while he was taking a call!他太严肃啦,明明我已经承诺下次绝不再犯了,他还唠叨个不停。我就趁他出去接通讯的时候溜出来啦!

CascadiaOh no! Captain Derek's going to be even angrier when he finds out that you snuck out.糟了,德雷克队长发现你溜走了,肯定会更生气的。

ChelseaThat's for future me to worry about! Besides, it's not like it's the first time this has happened.那就之后再说吧!反正也不是第一次了。

CascadiaPfft... Hahaha, that DOES sound like something you'd do.噗……哈哈哈,还真是有你的风格啊。

Chelsea pouts, but after seeing Cascadia's relaxed smile, she grins as well.炽撇了撇嘴,看着卡斯卡迪娅爽朗的笑容,也不自觉扬起嘴角。

ChelseaYou look like you've worked out your issues.看起来你解开心结了?

CascadiaUm, sort of... I still have a lot to learn, but at the very least it feels like things are looking up.唔……虽然还有很多要学习的,但总感觉心情开阔了不少。

ChelseaHaha, that's good. Looks like Derek accomplished what Captain Franklin asked him to do!哈哈,那就好,看来德雷克顺利完成富兰克林队长托付的任务了呢!

CascadiaHm?咦?

ChelseaYou should be able to return to your team soon, right? Oh yeah, I brought you a present, too!这样一来,你应该很快就能归队了吧。对了,我还给你带了礼物!

CascadiaEh? Is it a prank or something?诶,不会又是什么恶作剧吧?

ChelseaEr... of course not!呃……当然不是啦!

Chelsea silently hides the can of honey mustard durian-flavored Energia behind her.炽默默藏起了自己身后的蜂蜜芥末榴莲口味Energia能量补充剂。

ChelseaIt's...是……

??Vrrrrm!嗡!

Just as Chelsea finishes speaking, an orange mecha-hound pops out from behind her.炽话音未落,一条橘黄色机械犬就从角落里冒了出来。

CascadiaUwah—呜哇——

ChelseaSlo-Mo, why did you burst out? I even had a whole introduction planned for you and all!慢慢,你怎么提前出来了!我还精心为你准备了介绍词呢!

Chelsea places her hands on her waists and looks exasperatedly at the mecha-hound that's running circles around Cascadia.炽双手叉腰,无奈地看着围绕卡斯卡迪娅打转的机械犬。

CascadiaSlo-Mo?慢慢?

ChelseaThat's its name. The survivors we rescued earlier left it behind as thanks.是这个小家伙的名字啦。那几个遇难者为了表达感谢,就将慢慢留下了。

ChelseaI'm sure it'll be able to help you out. Besides, it seems to like you a lot, too.它一定能帮上你的忙的。而且看起来,它也很喜欢你呢。

CascadiaBut I've got no experience in raising dogs...我还没有养狗的经验……

ChelseaHahaha, well, Slo-Mo's a mecha-hound so you just need to charge it. No need to worry! Also, they say Slo-Mo has all kinds of special functions, so you can take your time and discover them all.哈哈哈,慢慢是机械犬,只要充电就好啦,很省心的!况且据他们所说,慢慢还有不少特殊的功能,你能慢慢摸索吧。

CascadiaAre you really going to give it to me? I mean, you were the one who rescued it, and it's orange, like your hair, so it would go well with you.真的要把它给我吗?明明是你亲手把它救出来的。而且它是橘色的,你的发色也是橘色,感觉和你还挺搭的。

ChelseaHuh, you do have a point, heh. Still, this way it means you'll think of me whenever you see Slo-Mo. That's pretty good, too!诶,这么说来真的是!哈哈哈,不过这样一来,你见到慢慢就能想起我,感觉也不错呢!

慢慢Vrrrm!嗡!

Slo-Mo rubs up against Cascadia as though to emphasize Chelsea's words.仿佛是附和炽所说的话一般,慢慢蹭了蹭卡斯卡迪娅。

ChelseaThat said, it's still a little sad when I think about how you'll be leaving soon—不过想到你要离开了,还真是有些舍不得啊——

CascadiaYeah. I learned a lot from my time with you, and I even learned what the legendary firefighter Chelsea was actually like...是啊,这次还真是学到了不少东西,还知道了那位有名的消防员“炽”的真面目居然是这样……

ChelseaHey! You're one to talk, you pipsqueak!喂!你这个小不点说什么呢!

CascadiaHahaha, what I meant was that I feel like I've gotten a lot closer to my ideal goal.哈哈哈,我的意思是,感觉和自己理想目标的距离近了不少。

ChelseaUwah, that sounds super mushy...呜哇,当面这么说感觉怪肉麻的……

Chelsea scratches her head in embarrassment, and then she looks at Cascadia with determined eyes.炽不好意思地挠了挠头,随即看向卡斯卡迪娅,目光变得坚定。

ChelseaLet's both do our best in the future. We might end up working together again in the future. I'm sure we'll meet again.未来也各自加油吧。或许是在某个危机时刻,或许又是某次联合行动,我们之后一定还会再见的。

CascadiaYup, we will.嗯,一定。

In Magrasea, at the Oasis Area G temporary command post.麦戈拉,绿洲G区临时指挥部。

ChelseaCascadia! Where's Cascadia!卡斯卡迪娅!卡斯卡迪娅在哪里!

PersicariaChelsea! You're back!炽!你来了!

ChelseaPersicaria, where are Cascadia and Ksenia?帕斯卡,卡斯卡迪娅在哪里,还有科谢尼娅!

PersicariaCalm down, Chelsea.炽,你冷静一下。

PersicariaKsenia's fine. Her leg was a little hurt, so she's being treated for it.科谢尼娅已经没事了,她的腿部受到了一些损伤,现在正在治疗。

PersicariaAs for Cascadia...不过卡斯卡迪娅的话……

Chelsea follows Persicaria's gaze downward and sees Cascadia lying on a bed.顺着帕斯卡的目光,炽看到了躺在地上的卡斯卡迪娅。

ChelseaShe... What happened to her...她……她这是……

PersicariaMany of Cascadia's modules were overloaded and malfunctioning, so her neural cloud went into hibernation mode to protect itself.卡斯卡迪娅身上的多个模块出现了过载和损坏,她的心智为了自我保护而陷入了休眠状态。

PersicariaBut the Oasis can't give her the complete care she needs in its current state... So we had no choice but to keep her this way.但是绿洲现在的情况不允许我们为她提供完整的治疗……所以我们只能先让她保持这个状态。

As she looks at Cascadia, whose eyes are tightly shut, Chelsea balls up her fists in frustration.看着双眼紧闭的卡斯卡迪娅,炽不甘心地握紧了拳头。

ChelseaI told you... I TOLD you not to take everything onto yourself...明明那一次行动后我们都说好了……不再自己一个人承受一切……

ChelseaYou big dork! All you think about is going it alone and pushing yourself beyond your limits...大笨蛋!一意孤行,总是一个人勉强自己……

ChelseaHehehe, the Professor's not in... Time for the Oasis Prank Committee to strike again...哼哼哼,教授不在办公室……那么就又是我们绿洲恶作剧委员会行动的时间了……

ChelseaHm? This document is... a list of Dolls from the Neural Cloud Sector? Hehehe, let's see who my next victim will be!嗯?这份文件是……云图扇区人形的名字?哼哼哼,让我看看下一个遭受我毒手的人会是谁!

ChelseaHmm... Taisch, Penumbra, Belladonna...我看看……弥灵,黯月,贝拉德娜……

Chelsea pulls up the record in question.炽抽出了那一份记录。

ChelseaSRT-8, "Cascadia", received complaints from many civilian SAR teams. After repeatedly disobeying orders and operating independently... She was sent to Project Neural Cloud?!编号SRT-8卡斯卡迪娅,曾经受到多个民营搜救队的投诉。其多次违反命令,独自行动……最终被送入云图计划?!

ChelseaDidn't Derek and I... get through to you...德雷克和我的话……还是没有能够让你明白吗……

ChelseaPushing yourself beyond your limits and working by yourself, but ultimately failing to achieve your objective... Aren't you just getting further and further away from your goal?勉强自己,一个人埋头苦干……最后也没有完成任务……这样一来,不就离你自己的理想越来越远了吗……

Chelsea punches the ground, and the pain stabs into her neural cloud.炽将拳头重重地砸在地上,疼痛感直钻入心智中。

PersicariaChelsea, you should calm down a little. Cascadia left a message for you.炽,你先冷静一下。卡斯卡迪娅给你留下了留言。

ChelseaHuh? A message?诶?留言?

Before Chelsea can react, an orange figure runs up to Chelsea and affectionately nuzzles up to her.还没有等炽反应过来,一个橘黄色的身影就跑到了炽的身边亲昵地蹭着炽。

ChelseaSlo-Mo?慢慢?

PersicariaWe found Cascadia with its help.我们是在这个孩子的帮助下找到了卡斯卡迪娅的。

ChelseaI see... Thank you, Slo-Mo.原来是这样……辛苦你了,慢慢。

Chelsea pats Slo-Mo's head. Slo-Mo turns around and projects an image onto the wall.炽摸了摸慢慢的头。慢慢转过身在墙上打出来了一道投影。

ChelseaHuh? What's this?咦?这是?

PersicariaIt's a video Cascadia and Slo-Mo recorded.这是慢慢和卡斯卡迪娅记录下来的影像。

The holographic image depicts Cascadia's face.投影中浮现出了卡斯卡迪娅的身影。

CascadiaI am Cascadia, a search and rescue Doll who's just arrived at the Oasis.我是刚刚抵达绿洲的搜救人形卡斯卡迪娅。

CascadiaI'm now preparing to rescue Ksenia... But I'm in no shape to handle everything that might follow after that.我正在进行对人形科谢妮娅的救援……但是我的状态已经不足以让我应对所有的情况了。

CascadiaThat's why this little guy will lead you to us.所以,这个孩子会带着你找到我们。

ChelseaThis is...这是……

CascadiaAlso, I have one request. If you find this recording, please hand it to Chelsea...以及我有一个请求,如果你看到了这一段影像。请记得将接下来这段录像交给炽……

On the screen, Cascadia takes a deep breath.屏幕中的卡斯卡迪娅深深地吸了一口气。

CascadiaIt's been a while, Chelsea. I'll probably still be unconscious by the time you see this.炽,好久不见了。当你看到这段影像的时候我应该还没有醒来吧。

CascadiaThe Oasis is currently under attack, and many agents need help. That's why... I'm leaving you this message.绿洲正在遭受攻击……许多智能体需要援助。所以……我想把这些信息托付给你。

ChelseaHuh? Cascadia?!咦?卡斯卡迪娅?!

Several hours ago, in the Oasis.几小时前,绿洲。

CascadiaThis is Cascadia. I'm headed to the target location.这里是卡斯卡迪娅,我正在赶往坐标地点。

PersicariaI'm sorry for giving you such a dangerous assignment even though you just arrived in the Oasis...抱歉……明明卡斯卡迪娅小姐才刚刚抵达绿洲,我们就安排如此紧张的工作……

CascadiaNo, that's not a problem. Tell me about the situation.不,这不是问题。和我说明一下情况吧。

PersicariaCurrently, there's a special type of Jellyfish Entropic among the hordes that have invaded the Oasis. They possess the ability to drain operands.目前入侵绿洲的熵之中,有一种特别的水母熵似乎有吞噬算量的能力。

PersicariaThere is an experimental operand energy reactor in Area G built by the Engineering Department... That said, it hasn't drawn the Entropics' attention yet since it hasn't been switched on.在G区有一个工程部制作的试做型算量EN反应堆……虽然目前这个设备没有启动所以没有引起熵的注意。

PersicariaHowever, it contains a lot of operands...但是这个设备中蕴含着大量的算量……

CascadiaI understand. In short, you want to keep the Entropics from getting their tentacles on it, right?我明白了,你们想要避免这里的算量被熵利用是吗?

PersicariaYes, and the Oasis is in dire need of operands right now... But normal agents can't bear the weight of the reactor.是的,而且目前绿洲需要更多的算量……但是普通智能体并无法承受反应堆的重量。

After looking at the data supplied by Persicaria, Cascadia makes some brief calculations and reaches a conclusion.看着帕斯卡传来的数据,卡斯卡迪娅粗略地计算后得出了结论。

CascadiaWell, it IS quite large. But it's nothing that Slo-Mo and I can't handle.虽然确实质量非常大,但是对于我和慢慢来说,这并非不可能完成的任务。

CascadiaI'll do my best to recover the reactor.我会尽快抵达将反应堆回收的。

PersicariaMiss Cascadia, if... If you determine that you can't recover the reactor, then please abandon the mission.卡斯卡迪娅小姐,如果……如果判断无法回收,你可以放弃这项任务。

PersicariaEither that or destroy it on the spot... Just make sure you keep yourself safe.或者当场摧毁反应堆都可以……请一定注意自己的安全。

PersicariaIf you encounter the Entropics, avoid fighting them at all costs! You haven't been backed up yet, and if the Entropization gets too bad, you might not even be able to be reset.如果遇到熵,请尽量回避与其作战!你还未进行备份,而且如果熵化过于严重,甚至会出现无法重置的情况。

CascadiaUnderstood. I've arrived at the target point. I'll contact you later.我明白了。我已经抵达目标地点,之后联络。

Cascadia hangs up and looks around.卡斯卡迪娅切断了通讯,环顾四周。

CascadiaAccording to the data, the reactor should be underground... So where is the tunnel heading down...根据数据,这个反应堆被存放在地下……通往地下的通道嘛……

Cascadia looks into the distance at a ruined building.卡斯卡迪娅看了看不远处已经化为废墟的建筑。

CascadiaLooks like it isn't usable anymore. And if we had to clear the rubble and go in... We might as well find a place to cut our way down.看来是不可能利用了。清理废墟再进入……不如直接找到破拆的点位。

An Entropic lunges at Cascadia.一只熵朝着卡斯卡迪娅扑了过来。

CascadiaThat's the seventh... Just one more...第七只……还有一只在……

熵Skree!叽!

The last Entropic rushes out from Cascadia's blind spot, its tentacles coiling tightly around her body.最后一只熵从卡斯卡迪娅的视线的死角冲了出来,触手紧紧地缠绕在卡斯卡迪娅的身上。

However, before the Entropic can press the attack, Cascadia grabs the Entropic's tentacles.但是还没有等熵发动攻击,卡斯卡迪娅竟然反手抓住了熵的触手。

The sharp chain blade instantly cleaves the Entropic in half.锋利的链锯将熵瞬间锯成了两段。

After ensuring that all vital signs are gone from all the Entropics, Cascadia puts down her demolition hammer.确认了所有的熵都失去了生命迹象,卡斯卡迪娅放下了手中的装备。

CascadiaCan you tell me about your situation?可以告诉我你的情况吗?

Cascadia looks through a crack in the warehouse wall and verifies Ksenia's position.顺着仓库废墟的缝隙,卡斯卡迪娅确认了科谢尼娅的位置。

CascadiaHang on... My demolition hammer ran out of power. I can't break this wall down.稍等一下……电动镐的能源不足,无法破拆这一块废墟。

CascadiaCalculating the probability of rescuing Ksenia and completing the original mission... Yeah, it's not going to happen.计算救出科谢尼娅后继续执行原定任务的可能性……太勉强了啊。

KseniaAh... If you've got a more important mission, it's okay if you leave me here. Since there aren't any Entropics around, I should be able to think of something...那个……如果你有更重要的任务,把我放在这里就好。附近的熵已经没了,我再自己想想办法……

CascadiaRelax, I won't abandon you. I'm a rescue Doll, you know.别担心,我不会放弃你的,我可是搜救人形啊。

KseniaUm... But your mission...呜……但你的任务……

As the rubble slowly rises, Cascadia shifts her stance to support the debris chunk with her entire body.随着残骸被逐渐举起,卡斯卡迪娅顺势调整了姿势,用自己的身体支撑住了整一片残骸。

After Cascadia calls out to him, Slo-Mo arrives by the gap beside Cascadia and works its way inside.随着卡斯卡迪娅的呼唤,慢慢来到了卡斯卡迪娅支撑的空隙,钻了进去。

Cascadia...This height should be okay...……这个高度没有问题的话……

CascadiaWhew...呼……

CascadiaI'll cut the operand supply to the power-assist framework and lock all the joints...切断传动结构的算量供给,锁死所有关节结构……

KseniaAh... My leg. Thank you, Slo-Mo...啊……我的脚。谢谢你,慢慢……

Upon realizing that Cascadia isn't answering, Ksenia begins shouting in panic.发现卡斯卡迪娅没有回应,科谢尼娅焦急地呼喊道。

ChelseaMfff...呜……

CascadiaLike you said, you always run into surprises when performing rescues, and no matter how strong you are, there's a limit to how much you can do by yourself.就和你说的一样,救援的时候总会遇到各种突发情况,一个人的力量不论多么强大都是有限的。

CascadiaI might not be able to perfectly resolve the problem in front of me, but...我没有办法完美解决眼前的困境,但是……

A map of Area G spreads in front of Chelsea.一张G区的地形图展现在了炽的面前。

ChelseaHuh? These labels are all...咦?这些标记是……

CascadiaThey're hazard locations I've mapped throughout Area G... You should be able to take care of them in short order.这是我在G区的路途中记录下来的风险标记……这些标记如果是你的话应该能快速理解吧。

ChelseaThose are the marks we used in Richmond...这是里士满时候用的标记……

CascadiaAnd then there's this place... it's the location of an experimental operand reactor and the demo points that I've calculated.然后是这里……这里是试做型算量EN反应堆的坐标,以及我计算出来的破拆地点。

Cascadia ignores Chelsea. Instead, she picks up a cloth and begins cleaning up the mess.卡斯卡迪娅没有理会不满的炽,而是拿起了抹布开始清理炽恶作剧留下来的痕迹。

After seeing Cascadia, Chelsea has no choice but to follow suit.看着卡斯卡迪娅的动作,炽也只好跟着一起收拾了起来。

ChelseaHow does your body feel? Is it okay now?你身体感觉如何?已经没有问题了吗?

CascadiaYeah, my power transmission systems are stable, and all modules are running fine, just like back then.传动系统稳定,所有的模块运转正常。和那一次一样。

The two midgets exchange looks.两个小个子相互看了一眼。

ChelseaPffft... It's been a while, Cascadia.噗……好久不见了,卡斯卡迪娅。

ChelseaI saw your CV! What happened to you? Disobeying orders, running off on your own...我看了你的简历!到底是怎么一回事?违抗命令,独狼行动……

CascadiaUm... That's correct. I DID disobey orders, and I got bounced around between several civilian SAR teams like a soccer ball.嗯……这倒是没有错。我确实违抗了命令,还被几个民营搜救队的老板们踢皮球踢来踢去。

CascadiaBut like I was telling you, I didn't do it because I was a loner or because I wanted to prove myself.不过,就和我说的一样,我不是一意孤行,也不是想要证明自己。

CascadiaI just didn't want to work with a bunch of people who would abandon a rescue for money.我只是不想跟他们一起为了自己的利益放弃拯救人的机会罢了。

CascadiaWhat's wrong?怎么了?

ChelseaPfft... Here I was, thinking you'd changed, but you haven't really changed at all, have you?噗……只是觉得你变了,但是又根本没有变。

After cleaning up all the fake blood on the ground, Cascadia sighs.卡斯卡迪娅把地上的颜料全部清理干净后,叹了一口气。

ChelseaAh, and it was also because you're about to meet the Professor and I wanted to help ease your tension...当然,还有一个原因是,马上就要让你见教授了,得缓解缓解你的紧张……

ChelseaAck, this is bad! We've been talking for so long that the Professor should be here by now...呃,不妙!聊了这么久,教授应该已经来了……

So, can I come in yet?所以我可以进来了吗?

Zzzzzzz....ZZZ……

ChelseaI'm a firefighter Doll by trade. Search and rescue duties ought to be handled by the professionals.我的本职工作可是消防人形啊,搜救小队的队长应该让更专业的人来担任吧。

ChelseaW-What are you looking at me for...看、看我干什么……

ProfessorOf course, we also took a lot of things into consideration, including your work history.当然,我们也是结合了各个方面的考虑,包括了你之前的履历。

CascadiaBut is it really okay?这样真的好吗?

ProfessorWell, I had my doubts, but your conversation with Chelsea cleared them all up.一开始我们还是有一些疑惑的,但是那些疑惑已经在你和炽的对话中解答了。
