Strange Tidings 异闻

In the Oasis Medical Department's file room.绿洲医疗部，档案室。

BoneeHm? An urban legend?哎？怪谈？

FlorenceHehehe, yup. It's been making the rounds in the Oasis recently.哼哼哼，是哦。是最近在绿洲非常流行的怪谈哦。

FlorenceThey call it the "Blue Spiral"~其名为“蓝色螺旋”~

Within the ever so quiet file room, Florence slowly approaches Bonee, lowering her voice to build up the atmosphere.安静的档案室里，芙洛伦一边靠近波妮，一边故作神秘地压低声音。

FlorenceSupposedly, it's a mysterious figure that comes and goes like the wind.据说那是一个神出鬼没、来去如风的身影。

BoneeT-That name doesn't sound so scary.听，听名字倒不是很可怕呀。

FlorenceBut you mustn't be fooled by appearances. Bonee-dear.千万不能被表象迷惑哦，波妮亲。

FlorenceWhether it's in the unmanned processing plant, or in the alleys behind the HQ, or late at night in the office buildings...在无人的加工厂，或者指挥部后面的小路，又或者深夜的办公楼……

FlorenceAs long as you're not prepared, it'll suddenly appear behind you...只要是你没有防备的时候，它就会突然出现在身后……

FlorenceJust like this—就像这样——

Florence zips behind Bonee and then presses down on her shoulders.芙洛伦“蹭”地钻到波妮身后，按住她的肩膀。

BoneeEeeee!噫！

Snap.啪。

PanakeiaBonee, it's not good to do too much overtime. You should hurry back and get some rest.波妮，加班太久可不好，还是快回去休息吧。

PanakeiaAre the files all sorted out, Florence?档案都整理完了吗，芙洛伦？

FlorenceEhhh–! How come you're only scolding me? You're so biased, Panakeia-dear!欸——！怎么只说我呀，帕那刻亚亲好偏心！

PanakeiaThat's because you were bullying Bonee. Quit messing around. It's bad practice to delay our work.因为波妮正在被你欺负呀。别闹了，耽误工作就不好了。

FlorenceHow rude, I was just sharing a popular topic.真失礼，只是分享一些最近的流行话题而已啦。

FlorenceThe files are already arranged.档案都已经整理好了哦。

PanakeiaIn that case, what's that you're holding behind your back?那么，你背后的那只手在悄悄地做什么呢？

FlorenceHm? There is? Oh! It's a stray file, I must have missed it. Don't be so petty, Pancake.咦？有吗？哎呀！只是一份漏掉的文件而已，不要这么较真嘛小那那。

PanakeiaAlright, alright, I wasn't trying to give you a hard time anyway. Still, it's best not to make mistakes when it comes to work.好了好了，我也没有责怪你的意思，但工作还是别出错才好。

PanakeiaThe requester for this research is Antonina, and the person who checked it out was Lancet... Sigh, this needs to be labelled.研究申请人安冬妮娜，出借者兰斯特……唉，要记得登记标签啊。

FlorenceTeehee, but we have you, don't we, Pancake?嘻嘻，这不是有小那那在嘛。

PanakeiaAlthough the Medical Department hasn't been as busy, we can't let ourselves get too relaxed.虽然最近医疗部门的工作没有之前那么紧张了，但我们也不能过于松懈。

PanakeiaIf there's another outbreak of the Entropy Virus, we'll need to formulate an appropriate drug for it...万一熵病毒再次爆发，就需要我们研制出对应的药物……

FlorenceIt's good that you're so eager about your work, Panakeia-dear~ But you need to take care not to wear yourself out either, okay?帕那刻亚亲对工作这么上心是很好啦~不过也要注意别把自己累坏了哦？

Panakeia shakes her head helplessly, then turns to leave.帕那刻亚无奈地摇了摇头，转身离开。

Florence(Sigh) Anxious, isn't she? Shall we go too, Bonee?唉，真是心急呢。我们也走吧，波妮？

Bonee(Whimper) Kay...呜……嗯……

FlorenceWhat, are you still bothered by that story from just now?怎么，还在在意刚才的故事吗？

BoneeWas that story true, Florence...?所以那个故事是真的吗，芙洛伦……

FlorenceAbout that... Perhaps I should say there's some basis for it?这个嘛……该说是有原型吗？

KuroHeyo, everyone–! This day marks the first day that the great Kuro has been released from confinement!大家好——！今天是卡萝大人从禁闭室归来的第一天！

KuroFolks in the stream and channel, I've missed all of you!各位直播间的父老乡亲们，我想死你们啦！

KuroNow, let's explore the Oasis' boxing gym... Uwah?今天就让我们来探秘绿洲拳击训练场……唔啊？

Just as Kuro is about to enter the room, she runs face-first into a figure that popped out of nowhere.卡萝正要走进训练场，突然和某个从里面窜出来的身影撞了个满怀。

KuroOwww...疼……

KuroHey you! Where the heck did you come from?!喂我说你啊！是哪里冒出来的！

???(Whimper)呜……

???I'm sorry, it wasn't on purpose! I ran out because it was too scary...对不起，我不是故意的！因为太可怕了就逃出来了……

???Ah, are you hurt?那个，你有受伤吗？

KuroWhat the heck, it was just a kid...什么嘛，原来是个小孩子啊……

KuroThe great Kuro isn't so easily hurt.卡萝大人才没那么容易受伤呢。

???Oh, okay...这样啊……

KuroHey, why do you sound so disappointed?喂，为什么你好像很失望的样子？

???That's because... It would be good if you were hurt...因为……如果受伤的话就好了……

KuroHah?哈？

???No! I mean, if you were hurt, I could treat you!不是！我的意思是，如果受伤的话，我就可以给你治疗了！

KuroNow you're the first person I've seen who's got the guts to call me, Kuro, out for a 1v1...第一次见到有人敢主动找我卡萝对线……

KuroAND you suddenly ran out of the boxing gym! This is way too suspicious!而且还突然从训练场里逃出来，太可疑了！

KuroTalk! Who are you, and what are you doing here?!快说！你到底是谁！来干什么的！

KuroIf you don't spill, I'm going to tattle straight to the Professor and you'll be dumped right into the confinement cell!不说的话，我就要向教授打小报告，把你丢进禁闭室里去了！

???Nonono! I'll talk!不要不要！我说！

???(Whimper) Don't lock me up... My... my name is Helix, of the Medical Department.呜呜呜……别把我关起来，我……我是贺莉斯，医疗部门的贺莉斯。

Kindness - 1 仁心-1

KuroHelix... Yeah, I've heard the Professor mention you before.贺莉斯……啊，确实听教授提起过。

KuroYou're that brat who only knows how to analyze DNA, so you ended up being useless in Magrasea, and thus had no choice but to lock yourself up in a room and cry, ain't it?是那个只会分析DNA，所以到了麦戈拉之后派不上用场，只好每天把自己关在房间里哭的小鬼吧？

Helix(Sob)呜……

HelixNo, it's not like that! I can help people now!不是，不是那样的！我现在已经可以治病救人了！

HelixSee, this is the DNA analyzer Miss Lancet and Miss Anna made for me.你看，这是兰斯特小姐和安娜小姐给我做的DNA分析仪。

HelixBy using them, I can inter-convert DNA with cloud server data, allowing me to repair damaged sections of the patients...用这个就能实现DNA和云端数据的相互转换，从而修复伤患的受损部位……

KuroOh sure, yes and affirmative. That totes sounds all fancy and new, but I haven't the darndest idea of what you mean.啊对对对，那听上去倒是挺新奇的嘛。虽然不懂。

HelixThat's why I'm looking for people who might be hurt, so I can test its efficacy!所以我现在为了测试它的性能，正在找那些可能受伤的人！

HelixBut the Medical Department hasn't officially accepted me yet, so I've got no choice but to search the Oasis for subjects.但是医疗部门还没有正式接收我，我只好自己在绿洲搜寻目标。

HelixFor instance, Dolls that use scissors, Dolls who work in high places, Dolls who train in close combat...比如说用剪刀的人形，在高处工作的人形，练习搏击的人形……

HelixBut nobody seems to be hurt...但是大家好像都不怎么受伤……

KuroOf course! Imagine what would happen if people got hurt every day!那是当然的吧！要是每天有人受伤还了得？

Helix(Sniffle) But... But in that case, I'll be useless.呜呜呜，可……可是这样我就派不上用场了。

HelixThe only time I prescribed treatment for someone was when I helped apply a band-aid for a Doll with a scrape...现在唯一一次出诊记录，还是给擦伤的人形贴创可贴……

KuroPffft... Are you kidding me? Pasting band-aids is a form of medical treatment?噗……你认真的吗！贴创可贴也能算出诊？

KuroSo if I went out and wrapped a friend in bandages, would that make me a part-time surgeon or something?那我出门给同伴缠绷带，是不是都能算作开飞刀了！

HelixSticking... sticking band-aids counts as a form of treatment too!贴……贴创可贴也是一种治疗呀！

HelixThat hurt Doll would have agreed with me... I think.那个受伤的人形也一定会同意我的看法的！大概……

KuroHahahaha, even if that were the case, it wouldn't have anything to do with that DNA analyzer now, right?哈哈哈哈，可就算这样，那也跟你要测试的那个什么DNA分析仪没关系嘛？

Helix(Sniffle) Don't say any more, at this rate I'm really going to become totally useless. What should I do...呜呜呜……别说了，再这样下去我真的要变成一个废人了。我该怎么办啊……

KuroAin't nothing wrong with being useless. Hell, I envy those who don't need to work.废人也没什么不好嘛，我还羡慕你不用上班呢。

HelixNo, no! I need to help everyone out!不行不行！我一定要帮上大家的忙！

HelixYou're called Miss Kuro, right? Could you let me follow you around?你是叫卡萝小姐对吧？可以让我跟着你吗？

KuroHm? Why's that?嗯？为什么？

HelixI just have the feeling that given the way you talk, you're the sort of person who might end up getting hurt just by walking down the street!因为总感觉你的说话风格，就是那种走在街上可能会受伤的类型！

KuroGuh... So you're saying that I have the sort of face that's asking for a beating, then?!咕……你是想说我很欠打吗！

HelixEh? No, not at all, I didn't mean that!诶？不，不是，我没有那个意思！

KuroTo think you'd piss me off twice in five minutes... I wonder if you're just careless or have a talent for it...居然在几分钟里怼了我两次……这小鬼，该说是冒失呢还是天然黑呢……

KuroListen up, I'm not a daycare!听好了，我这里可不是托儿所！

Helix(Whimper) So that's no good either, huh...呜……果然也不行吗……

KuroYup. Although, if you really want to look for hurt people, then why don't you go over to the Old City Area?嗯，不过嘛。如果你非要找受伤的人形的话，不如到旧城区去。

HelixThe Old City?旧城区？

KuroDid you know how the Oasis used to be the Professor's personal sector? It was the Engineering Department that slowly turned it into the Oasis of the present.你知道绿洲原本是教授的私人扇区吧？是工程局一点点把它改造成今天的绿洲的。

KuroMeanwhile, the parts that haven't yet been integrated into the Oasis are called the Old City.而还没来得及被改造成绿洲的部分，我们就管它叫旧城区。

KuroAll the Dolls who like parkour, graffiti and making a big racket go there, and I've done streams over there before...那些喜欢跑酷啊、涂鸦啊、大吵大闹的人形都会聚在那里，我也在那里做过几次直播……

KuroIn any case, it's a place where you can get hurt very easily, though it might not be suitable for kids, hehe.总之是个很容易受伤的地方，虽然可能不适合小孩子，哼哼。

HelixParkour... graffiti...跑酷……涂鸦……

KuroWhat, you like those things?怎么？你对这些有兴趣？

HelixNo, not really.不，不是的。

HelixI was just thinking of that patient...我只是想起了那个出诊病人……

HelixIn any case, thanks for telling me, Miss Kuro! I'm heading out right now!总之多谢你的情报，卡萝小姐！我这就出发！

Helix bows hastily before running off. After a few steps, she doubles back and stuffs a piece of paper with her comm code written on it into Kuro's hands.贺莉斯匆匆鞠躬而后跑开。然而没跑几步，她又折返了回来，将写有自己通讯码的纸张塞到了卡萝手里。

HelixI... I don't have a proper business card yet, so these are my contact details. Please let me know if you're hurt! Thank you!我……我还没有正式的工牌，这是我的联系方式，如果受伤了，请务必来找我！多谢！

Kuro...What the hell?! Can't you at least hope that something good will happen to me?!……？？？什么鬼啦！你就不能盼着我点好吗！

Helix doesn't bother with the emotions brewing up inside Kuro and has already disappeared without a trace.不等卡萝酝酿情绪，贺莉斯已经一溜烟跑得没影了。

KuroTsk, what a rude and panicky little brat. Plus, she runs like the wind.啧，真是没礼貌又心急的小鬼，跑起来跟阵风似的。

KuroWait a minute... The wind... Waits around staking people out... Has blue hair...等一下……风……到处蹲守人形……蓝毛……

KuroCould she be the "Blue Spiral" they were talking about on Oasischan?难道匿名版上说的“蓝色螺旋”就是她？

KuroDarn, oh darn it, I just missed out on something big!糟了糟了，卡萝我这下可是错过了一个大热点了！

KuroIf I had known, I would've secretly filmed her...早知道刚刚应该偷拍下来……

VeeYou're going to secretly film someone, Kuro?偷拍什么呢，卡萝？

KuroGweh?咕？

VeeSo you were the rat that snuck in here just now.原来刚刚混进来的那只老鼠就是你呀。

KuroHah? Me? No... It was that brat...哈？我？不对……是那个小鬼……

VeeDon't try to talk your way out of it. I've already seen your streaming channel. "Secrets of the Oasis' Boxers Revealed", was it?别狡辩哦，我可是看到你的直播间了。“绿洲拳击手揭秘”对吧？

KuroAh... No... This... This is a misunderstanding...啊……不……这个……这个是误会……

VeeLooks like you're pretty interested in boxing. Want to come in for a spar?看来你对拳击非常感兴趣呢。要不要进来陪练一会儿？

KuroNo... Not really... Please put that scalpel down...不……不是……你先把手术刀放下……

KuroAhhhhh, come back you damn brat! I NEED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE!!!啊啊啊啊死小鬼快回来！我需要治疗啊治疗！！！

In the Oasis' Old City Area.绿洲，旧城区。

A petite figure races between the abandoned buildings.一个小小的身影快步穿行在废弃的建筑物之间。

HelixHello– Is anyone there?喂——有人吗？

HelixIs anyone hurt–?有没有伤员呀——？

HelixHmm... It's pretty quiet.嗯……好安静。

HelixDidn't Miss Kuro say lots of people hung out here?卡萝小姐不是说这里会有很多人形在玩闹吗？

HelixOh right, these are work hours, so most of the Dolls are still working.对了，因为现在是上班时间，人形都还在上班。

HelixEveryone's at work... I'm the only one who can't do anything?大家都在忙着工作……只有我什么事也做不成。

Helix hugs her DNA analyzer and leans against a wall, a crestfallen look framing her face. Suddenly, she feels her arm making contact with something sticky.贺莉斯抱紧自己的DNA分析仪，有些失落的靠在路边。突然，她感觉手臂上似乎沾到了什么黏糊糊的东西。

HelixAiiiee?!呀？！

HelixWhat's going on... Am I bleeding?怎么回事……我流血了吗？

HelixThank goodness! Now I can use my DNA analyzer!太好啦，这样就可以用DNA分析仪啦！

Helix...No, wait. This isn't blood, it's paint...……不对。这个不是血，是颜料嘛……

HelixHonestly, how could I be such an idiot...真是的，我怎么这么笨……

She rubs her head in frustration, then looks back at the wall beside her.她懊恼地摸着自己的脑袋，然后扭头看向身边的那堵墙。

Red and green paint have been garishly combined to produce a flashy mural on the wall, but there's no way to tell what it is.红色和绿色的颜料夸张地混合在一起，在墙上形成一副张扬的图案，看不出画的是什么。

HelixThis art style looks familiar... Don't tell me it's!这个风格有些眼熟……该不会是！

???This is paint. Of course, you can also think of it as blood if you want.这些是颜料，不过当然，你理解成血也没有什么问题。

???Actually, you reminded me of something. It's true that the piece would look more striking if I touched it up with a deeper blood red over here.倒不如说你提醒我了，的确，这个地方，用更沉一点的血红来修饰，画面更有张力。

HelixThis is great! She's here!太好了！她也在这里！

HelixIf she gets hurt again, I can help her out... I'm sure I can help her!如果她又受伤的话，我就能帮上忙……一定能帮上忙！

HelixAlright! I'm going to do it today! Do your best, Helix!好，今天一定要做到！加油吧，贺莉斯！

She takes a deep breath and runs off into the depths of the Old City.她深吸一口气，快步朝旧城区深处跑去。

智能体Hm...?嗯……？

智能体I thought I heard something just now...总感觉刚刚好像听到了什么声音……

OctogenHey, have you finished checking Sector C?喂，C区检查好了没有？

智能体Ah, I'll be right on it!啊，马上！

OctogenHurry up, I can't wait any longer!快点快点！我可是要等不及啦！

智能体Meh, I guess nobody would be walking around at a time like this.反正这个时间应该也没人会在闲逛吧。

智能体Sector C check complete. Nothing unusual was found.C区检查完毕，无异常。

智能体Permission to begin demolition granted.准许开展爆破工作。

Kindness - 2 仁心-2

In a certain abandoned warehouse inside the Old City Area.旧城区的某个废弃仓库。

HelixAh, I got in at last.啊，总算进来了。

HelixThese warehouses sure look old, it feels like they might collapse at any time...这些仓库好破啊，感觉随时都会有哪面墙倒下来……

HelixWhen you think about it, people could get hurt easily around here.想想就很容易出现伤员呢。

HelixHm? This is...嗯？这是……

The mottled floor is covered in streaks of paint with of different color and lusters from each other, like natural brushstrokes.斑驳的地板上，遍布着色泽不一的颜料划痕，仿若一幅天然的彩绘。

HelixThese marks... They were made by roller-skates!这些痕迹……是滑轮！

HelixIt really is her!真的是她！

HelixHello— Is anyone there? Helloooo?喂——有人吗？您好？

HelixIf you need help— Uwah?如果需要帮助的话——呜哇？

The ground beneath her suddenly shakes, and Helix almost falls down.脚下的大地猛然传来震动，贺莉斯险些一个趔趄摔倒在地。

HelixHng! What happened...呜！怎么回事……

Rumbling noises wash in from the distance, the sound of demolition. As she looks outside, she can see that the nearby structures are starting to collapse one after the other.远处传来“轰隆隆”的爆破声。顺着窗户向外看去，可以看到邻近的建筑物已经一个接一个开始倒塌。

HelixIt's an earthquake! No, did the Sanctifiers fight their way in here? That's not right either...地震了！不对，是净化者打进来了？也不对……

OctogenYes, yes, yes! That's the way! Explode, explode, explode! Send all this rubbish to kingdom come!对对对！就是这样！炸炸炸！让我亲手把这些废料全都送上天去！

HelixUwah! It... It's a demolition project!呜哇！是……是爆破作业！

HelixOh no! I need to get out ASAP—完蛋了！得赶紧逃出去——

Helix frantically runs to a nearby window. Then she glimpses the paint on the ground out of the corner of her eyes and she slows down.贺莉斯慌忙跑向窗边，眼角余光再次瞟到了地上的颜料，又蓦地放缓了动作。

HelixWait a minute... What if she's still in there...等一下……万一她还在里面……

HelixNgh... No, there's no way a doctor can abandon her patients and run.呜——不可以，医生不可以丢下病人逃跑。

Helix(Whimper) But I'm so scared...呜呜呜——可是贺莉斯好害怕……

Boom—轰——

While Helix was hesitating, the rumbling noises have drawn close.就在贺莉斯犹豫的片刻之间，轰鸣声已然逼近此处。

The old walls collapse with a thunderous crash, and the sturdy ceiling is promptly reduced to rocky chunks, which fall like rain.老旧的墙体在巨响中轰然倒塌，坚固的天花板裂解成碎石，如瀑落下。

HelixUwaaaah—!呜啊——！！

???Hold on tight.抓紧了。

HelixAiieee?!呀？！

Amidst the confusion, Helix feels a mighty force around her waist. When she comes to her senses, she finds herself tucked under someone's arm.混乱中，贺莉斯只觉得腰间传来一股大力，回过神来，自己已经被夹在了某人的臂弯里。

???Don't panic, and don't talk. You can't apply band-aids to your tongue.别慌，噤声，舌头被咬到了可没办法贴创可贴。

HelixHuh? Ehhhhh—!哎？哎——！

Boom!轰！

Helix(Pants) Ah...呼……啊……

When she opens her eyes again, Helix finds that she has "teleported" to a nearby wall. The place where she had been standing just now is little more than a mountainous heap of rocks and dust.再度睁开眼睛的时候，贺莉斯发现自己已经“瞬移”到了墙角。刚才她站立的位置，现在只剩如山的石垒和一地烟尘。

???Don't space out, little doctor. We're not safe yet.别发呆，小医生，我们还没安全呢。

HelixThank, thank you... er?谢，谢谢……呃？

HelixIt really IS you!真的是你！

???Did you come looking for me?你是来找我的？

Boom—轰——

???Tsk, let's talk once we're safe. Can you run?啧，还是等安全了再说。还跑得动吗？

HelixAh... I... Yes... yes I can!啊……我……好……好的！

???Hm, never mind. I'll do it.唔，算了，还是我来吧。

HelixEeeek?!噫？！

Before Helix can react, the newcomer scoops her up in a princess carry and takes a step forward.不等贺莉斯有所反应，来人直接将她横腰抱起，朝前一蹬。

???Here we go~走咯~

HelixUwaaaahhhhhh!!!!呜哇哇哇哇！！！

That pitiful wail is blended with merry laughter as they soar through the sudden plume of smoke. A streak of multicolored paint winds its way between the abandoned buildings.凄厉的哀鸣穿插着畅快的笑声，在轰然作响的烟龙中飞驰着。斑斓的颜料在废墟间划出一抹优美的痕迹。

It's just like a street artist casually leaving their signature behind after finishing a piece.就像街头画师在结束创作后，随手涂下的签名。

Kindness - 3 仁心-3

In the Old City.旧城区。

OctogenBoom! Boom! That's how it should be, ferocious, wild, grand...Boom！Boom！就是这样，这样猛烈，奔放豪迈地……

Octogen...Hm?……嗯？

智能体Hm? What's wrong?嗯？怎么了？

OctogenDidn't you hear that?你没有听见吗？

智能体The demolition? Er, yeah, it was really loud, but we've calculated it already, so it shouldn't affect...爆破的声音？呃，确实很大，不过我们有做过测算，应该影响不到……

OctogenNo, the sound of the explosion isn't pure. There's noise mixed into it.不对，爆炸声不纯粹。有杂音。

OctogenBring up a link to our cameras, I want a real-time overhead view of the area.调取摄像仪，给我看一下实时的俯瞰图样。

智能体Um, is it necessary? Wouldn't calling up camera footage at a time like this be a waste of operands?呃，有必要吗？这个时候启用监控成像的话太浪费算量了吧？

OctogenJust do it! Hurry!听我的听我的，快快！

Though she doesn't understand why, the agent does as she is told and brings up the camera footage. And then—虽然不解，但智能体还是按照指示打开了监控成像。而后——

智能体Let me get this out of the way first, the amount of operands we're using up is on you... ah!先说好啊，这份算量额度是要算在你头上的……啊！

They see the wild band of color on the monitor.他们便看见了屏幕上那条放肆的彩带。

智能体There really WERE people in Sector C!C区里真的有人！！

OctogenStop! Call it all off! You moron! Didn't I tell you to check carefully?!停下！通通停下！你这个笨蛋！不是让你好好检查了吗！

OctogenContact the other stations, tell them to terminate the blasting op now! Hurry!通知其他节点，爆破作业终止！快！

The dust churns over the debris between the ruins. At last, the shaking and trembling behind them slowly dies down.在废墟瓦砾间上下翻腾，终于，身后的动静逐渐减弱了。

???Hm? Did they notice us?咦？那些家伙注意到我们了？

???Hey, little doctor, are you alright?喂，小医生，你还好吗？

HelixUgh—唔————

Helix is curled up in her rescuer's arms, and there are little stars spinning over her head.此时瑟缩在怀里的贺莉斯两眼涡旋，头顶满是小星星。

HelixWere...you...calling...me....你……在……在……喊……喊……我……我……吗……吗……

???Hng?! Don't squirm around...呃？！不要乱动……

Helix(Heaves)呕——

???Oh no!糟糕！

The weightlessness from the sudden braking motion pushes Helix over her limit, and she struggles mindlessly before turning away and dry-heaving.骤然停止的飞驰让贺莉斯的失重感到达了临界点，她无意识地挣扎着，朝外干呕。

They just so happen to be high atop the ruins, and she looks like she's about to drop out of her rescuer's arms.恰逢二人正在残垣高处，她眼看着就要摔出人形的怀抱。

???Care... Urk–! Be careful!小……呃——！小心啊！

The Doll lunges forward with all her might and grabs the dizzy Helix. However, her calf ends up scraped by a sharp rock, which opens up a terrible wound on her leg.人形奋力向前飞扑，拽住了头晕眼花的贺莉斯，小腿却因此暴露在瓦砾间，被尖锐的碎石划开了一道骇人的伤口。

HelixUgh—Uwah!唔——呜哇！

The sudden sense of falling brings Helix to her senses. She opens her eyes and sees something flying through the air...陡然出现的坠落感总算让贺莉斯清醒了过来。她睁开双眼，恰巧看见飞在半空中的……

HelixThere's an analyzer in the...uehhh?!天上有……分析仪……呜诶！？

HelixMy a–na–ly–zer–!分——析——仪——！

Crash!哐——

After much struggling, the two of them finally return to ground level.折腾许久，二人终于安全地回到了地面。

Helix hugs the ruins of her analyzer and looks like she's about to cry.贺莉斯抱着四分五裂的分析仪泫然欲泣。

???Little doctor... Are you alright?小医生，你……还好吗？

HelixI... (sniffle) I'm... I'm fine.我……呜……我……我没事的。

HelixIt's just... My analyzer... (sob)只是……分析仪它……呜……

HelixAh! Your leg!啊！你的腿！

???Don't worry, it just looks scary, no need to panic... urgh.小问题，只是看起来可怕而已，你不用那么慌……呃。

Before she can finish, Helix presses her lips together, blinks away her tears, and begins bandaging the Doll's leg.不等她说完，贺莉斯就抿起了嘴，把眼泪憋了回去，开始给人形的大腿包扎。

HelixI'm sorry, my analyzer's broken, otherwise I could have healed your wound with it.对不起啊，分析仪坏掉了，不然我现在就可以帮你治疗伤口了。

HelixIt's just a simple procedure, I hope you don't mind...只能简单地做一下处理，你别介意……

???Why would any patient mind being treated by a doctor? Speaking of which, what are you doing here?哪有伤患会介意医生的治疗啊。说起来你怎么会出现在这？

???Were you looking for me?是来找我的？

HelixNot... Not really. I was actually looking for people to treat in the Old City...也……也不是啦。我是其实是来旧城区找伤患的……

HelixIt seems my supervisor hasn't found the time to arrange work for me, but I didn't want to idle around any more, and I kept thinking about when I could be useful...我的负责人好像还没找到时间安排我入职，但是我又不想再闲下去了，总是想着或许能派上什么用场……

HelixI saw the graffiti during the demolition and got worried that you were still inside. I wanted to help you, but then...爆破的时候，我看到涂鸦，担心你还在里面，本想帮你，结果……

At this point, the tears start welling up in Helix's eyes again.说到此处，贺莉斯的眼泪似乎又要憋不住了。

HelixI'm sorry, did I cause you trouble? You wouldn't have gotten hurt if you hadn't been carrying me.对不起，我是不是给你添麻烦了？如果不是带着我，你也不会受伤的。

???Hm, I wouldn't say that. Actually, I should be thanking you.唔，不能这么说，我还得谢谢你。

HelixYou don't need to comfort me, I know I'm an idiot.你不用安慰我，我知道自己笨的。

HelixAlright, I've done some simple first aid for your wound, but it's really deep. I'll contact the Medical Department first. They'll perform surgery on you.你的伤口我简单处理好了，但里面伤得很深，我先联络医疗部，他们会来帮你进行手术的。

???Eh? No!欸！别！

The Doll panics and covers up the communicator.人形慌忙按住了通讯器。

???Don't call them, your bandaging was good, there's no need to bother the Medical Department.别打，你的包扎挺好的，医疗部就不用喊了。

???Let's just get out of here ASAP.我们还是快点离开这儿比较好。

HelixHuh? But your wound...咦？可是你的伤……

???That's not important. Just trust me; I've been on the streets for so long, so I know very well how my body is.那不重要的，相信我好吧。我在街头厮混那么久，自己的身体怎样还是很清楚的。

HelixO-Okay... But... But...好……好吧……可……可是……

???No buts! Go, go, let's get out of here. And then–没有可是！走走，我们先离开这儿，然后——

通讯器And then you'll report to the Medical Department, right, Banxsy?然后去医疗部报道，对吧？坂口希。

BanxsyNah, no need for— hrk?报道就不用了——呃？

HelixIt's the Professor's voice!是教授的声音！

ProfessorLooks like you heard me. You should thank Octogen, if he'd noticed you any later, the entire region would have been blown up.看来你们听得见啊，感谢奥托金，他要是发现得再慢一点，这片地区的广播就都要被炸掉了。

Banxsy...I gotta go, little doctor. You take care.……小医生，我要溜了，你保重。

The Doll has no intention of sticking around to hear the whole thing. She nimbly lands on the ground and slings her bag over her shoulders, preparing to flee. However, before she can take her first step, her foot trembles and she keels over.人形根本就没有听完广播的打算，她利落地窜起身，挎上背包就要开溜。然而还没等第一步迈出，便脚底一顿，整个人摔在了地上。

萨可(Squeaks)吱吱吱——

SimoThe injured ought to sit down calmly and wait for help to arrive.受了伤的家伙还是安安稳稳地等待救援比较好。

BanxsySimo, what are you—!席摩你怎么会……！

SimoOctogen sent me here to help the innocent folk of the Old City.奥托金让我来的，协助救援旧城区的无辜群众。

SimoRight now, though...至于现在嘛——

Simo tilts his head in the direction of his ear mic, and there is more than a little schadenfreude in his voice.席摩脑袋朝着耳麦的方向偏了偏，接着露出了幸灾乐祸的微笑。

SimoThe Professor sent me over to keep an eye on our great artist who's hopelessly addicted to skipping work, until she can go on trial.教授让我看住翘班成瘾的大艺术家，等候审判。

SimoOh yes, and you too, Helix.啊对了，还有你，贺莉斯。

HelixI... I'm here!我……我在！

SimoWe didn't finish your work registration yet, so don't run off.入职手续都没办完，就不要乱跑啦。

Helix(Sobs) I'm sorrryyyy—呜——呜呜——对不起呀——

Kindness - 4 仁心-4

At the Oasis' Medical Department.绿洲，医疗部。

PanakeiaHm... No serious injuries.嗯……没有大碍。

PanakeiaBeing to come out in one piece from one of Octogen's demolition projects is rare, good fortune.能身体完整地从奥托金的爆破里走出来，真是难得的幸运。

HelixAh, what about Banxsy?那个，坂口希现在怎么样了？

PanakeiaDon't worry, Florence is a good doctor.安心吧，芙洛伦可是个好医生。

PanakeiaAlso, you administered first aid, didn't you? I estimate she should be fine by tomorrow.而且你也已经做了应急处理不是吗？估计明早就会好得差不多了。

HelixIt's all my fault...都是因为我……

HelixShe got injured trying to protect me, that's why I'm unhurt...她是为了保护我才会受伤的，所以我才会毫发无损……

PanakeiaBlaming yourself for everything isn't a good habit to have.把问题归咎到自己身上可不是什么好习惯。

PersicariaYou're right, Panakeia.说得没错，帕那刻亚。

HelixMiss Persicaria! And... Banxsy!帕斯卡小姐！还有……坂口希！

Persicaria enters the treatment room with her hands behind her back, while a bandaged Banxsy follows behind her. Florence giggles as she loiters outside the doorway and writes on a piece of paper.帕斯卡背着手走进医务室，坂口希则打着绷带跟在她身后。芙洛伦笑嘻嘻地缀在门外，拿着纸笔写写画画。

PersicariaThe Professor and I have sternly reprimanded Octogen. The Professor has arranged for him to apologize to everyone at next week's morning meeting.我和教授已经严厉批评过奥托金了。下周的晨会上，教授会安排他公开向大家道歉。

PersicariaThat's why I'm here to hear your side of things.所以现在，我再来听取一下你们的说法。

PersicariaWhat were the two of you doing there?为什么你们两个会出现在那里？

HelixI... Uh...我……是……

Banxsy pops a gum bubble between her lips, interrupting Helix's narration.坂口希撇着嘴吹破了一个泡泡糖，打断了贺莉斯的自述。

BanxsyTo exercise my creativity, of course.当然是去创作啦。

PersicariaDidn't we warn you about this before? That place is too dangerous!之前不是警告过你了吗？那种地方太危险了！

BanxsyBut that sense of danger is perfect for getting my creative juices flowing.但那种危机感不正是刺激创作的好素材嘛。

PersicariaDon't play games over the safety of yourself and others!你不能拿自己和别人的安全开玩笑！

Banxsy(Groan) Yes, yes, I know.唉……我知道啦。

BanxsyHow many times has it been anyway, I can walk by myself...明明我自己能走的，都多少次了……

PersicariaHmmm?!嗯？！

BanxsyUnderstood! I shall strive to mend my ways, Miss Adjutant.明白！副手小姐，坚决改正。

PersicariaYou... What about you, Helix?你啊你……贺莉斯，你呢？

HelixI... I heard there might be injured people there...我……我是因为听说那里可能会有伤员……

PersicariaWho told you this?听谁说的？

Helix...Miss Kuro...……卡萝小姐……

FlorenceLooks like Kuro-dear's going in again~看来卡萝亲又得进去了~

Persicaria sighs.帕斯卡叹了口气。

PersicariaHelix, I know you want to help everyone.贺莉斯，我理解你想帮大家的忙。

PersicariaBut you need to know restraint, got that?但是凡事一定要注意分寸，知道吗？

HelixOkie... I understand...嗯……我明白了……

PersicariaNormally, you'd have to go into the confinement cell for this. Since it's a first-time offense, you'll stay in your room instead and think about your actions. Submit a report on the incident to me in three days' time.本来这种情况是要关禁闭室的，第一次就只罚你闭门思过。三天后，交一份检查给我。

PersicariaAnd you, Banxsy. Reflect on what you've done.还有你，坂口希。好好检讨。

BanxsyYes, yes, yes.是是是。

HelixWait, Persicaria... Banxsy saved me...等一下，帕斯卡……坂口希她救了我……

BanxsyIf there's nothing else I'll be off.没什么事的话我就先走了。

PersicariaDon't forget the report!检查，别忘了！

BanxsyYes, yes, I remember, 3000 words long, not a single word less.三千字嘛，记得记得，一个字都不会少的。

BanxsyNot a single word more either.一个字也不会多。

Banxsy mutters to herself as she walks off.坂口希嘟嚷着离开了。

HelixBanxsy...坂口希……

As Helix watch her leave with what looks like a limp, she feels as though there's something stuck in her throat.贺莉斯看着她有些跛脚的背影，感觉自己的喉咙就像是被什么东西堵住了一样。

Three days later in the Oasis, outside the confinement rooms.三天后，绿洲，禁闭室门外。

OctogenAh, the sweet air of freedom!啊，自由的空气！

OctogenOctogen is back!我奥托金又回来啦！

KuroOi oi oi, manager! How come he was locked up for less time than me?喂喂喂，管理员！为什么这家伙关禁闭的时间比我还短啊！

智能体Because he's a first-time offender...因为人家是初犯嘛……

OctogenHahahaha, enjoy your time behind bars, Kuro!哈哈哈哈，卡萝你就好好享受吧！

OctogenI win this time!这次，是我赢了！

KuroDammit—Just you wait!可恶啊——你给我等着！

HelixAh... hello?那个……你好？

OctogenHm? Ah... you're that tiny Doll from that day.嗯？啊……那天的小人形。

OctogenAhem, sorry for starting the job without making sure of the situation. I owe you one.咳，抱歉，没检查清楚情况就动手了，这次算我欠你一笔。

HelixNo, no, please don't take it to heart. It was my fault for barging in by myself, which resulted in you getting caught up in it, Mr. Octogen.不不，请别放在心上。都是因为我擅自闯进去，才会连累奥托金先生的。

HelixAlso, I heard it was because the other agent didn't check properly, which caused the incident...而且我听说，是其他智能体没有仔细确认，才导致事故的……

Octogen(Sigh) I'm the team leader, so who's going to take responsibility for it if not me? Rather, I'm just glad the two of you are alright.嗨，我是组长，我不承担责任谁承担？倒是你俩没事就好。

OctogenSpeaking of which, where's Banxsy? I need to properly inform her, otherwise I might end up kabooming her next time.说到这个，坂口希那家伙呢？我一定要跟她讲好了，再有下次我就直接一起boom了她！

HelixWell, about that, actually...关于这个，其实……

HelixI've been looking for Banxsy since that day, but I haven't been able to contact her...我从那天开始就一直在找坂口希，但是却一直联系不上她……

OctogenYou can't contact her? What does that mean?联系不上？什么意思？

HelixI was going to call her up to apologize through her communicator, but nobody's been picking up.我原本想用通讯器找她道歉，但一直无人接听。

OctogenOh, her... She's probably gone somewhere to create art. Banxsy does this all the time. Heck, she hardly ever goes to work either.她啊……估计又是上哪搞创作去了。坂口希不就经常这样么，搞着搞着班都不上了。

HelixI was thinking so too, so I decided to go over to her dorm to look for her, but the agents all said she went off to the Helios Sector on a mission.我也是这么想的，所以今天一大早我就去她的宿舍找她，但是智能体们却说，她去赫里奥斯扇区执行任务了。

HelixShe got hurt because of me, and she got caught skipping work because of me...她受伤也是因为我，翘班被抓也是因为我……

HelixI'm worried that she might have fled the Oasis because I made her mad and she didn't want to see me...我担心，会不会就是因为我让她生气了，她不想理我了，所以就跑出绿洲了……

OctogenWell, I guess... not? Ugh, please don't make that face, let me think, don't worry...不至于……吧。呃呃呃，你别露出这种表情，让我想想，别着急……

OctogenIs that mission you're talking about the one scheduled each month where we reactivate the Sandbox Barrier and all that routine stuff?你说的任务，是不是每月定期的那个，去开启沙盒模式的扇区处理日常事务的工作？

HelixYup, that's what they told me.嗯嗯，是的，我听他们说是这样。

OctogenThen it's nothing, it's just a monthly assignment, you're overthinking it.那不是没什么大不了的么，月常而已，你太多心了。

HelixBut I also heard that that the appointed time had passed, and she still hadn't reported to the Helios Sector Admin Center...可是我还听说，原定交接的时间已经过了，她还没有在赫里奥斯扇区的管理员中心报到……

HelixI can still try to apologize to her if she just doesn't want to see me, but if anything's happened to her... (sniffle)如果只是不想理我，我还可以努力和她道歉。要是因为我出了什么事情……呜……

OctogenUhhh— Don't cry, just stop already!嘶——你别哭啊，停停停！

OctogenLook, how about this. Go look for this person called Groove, do you know her?这样，你去找这个人，音流，认识吗？

HelixHuh? Miss Groove of Cyber Media?哎？是赛博传媒的音流小姐吗？

OctogenYeah, She's probably the person that Banxsy is closest to.嗯，要说对坂口希最熟悉的人，那应该就是她了吧。

OctogenShe's either at the theater or at the bar. Um... You CAN enter bars, right?她一般不是在剧场就是在酒吧。嗯……你……应该可以进酒吧吧？

OctogenAhem! In any case, I'm sure she'll have a way to contact Banxsy.咳，总之！她肯定有办法联系到坂口希的。

HelixI see... I'll give it a try, then! Thank you, Mr. Octogen!是这样吗……我试试看吧！谢谢你，奥托金先生！

OctogenDon't... Just call me by my name, "Mister" is way too awkward.别……你喊我名字就行，先生可太别扭了。

OctogenAnyway, that's it then! There's still a stack of bombs waiting for me to take care of!那就这样，我先走了，还有一堆炸弹等着我照顾呢！

With that, Octogen waves to Helix, then turns behind him and yells:说完，奥托金朝贺莉斯挥了挥手，又顺势扭头朝身后喊道：

OctogenHey Kuro! If you haven't gotten out by the time I'm done with them, I'll bring a few bombs over to free you hahahahahaha!卡萝你可别等我搞完了还没出狱，到时候我就带着炸弹来救你啦哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！

KuroDAMN YOU BOMBERMAN, JUST YOU WAIT!!!死炸弹人你给我等着！！！

After casually ducking a penlight thrown by Kuro from next door, Octogen hops and skips away.轻松惬意地躲过卡萝隔门丢出的荧光棒，奥托金连蹦带跳开溜了。

Helix(Whimper) Everyone seems so energetic and brave...呜……总感觉，大家的精力都好充沛，胆子也好大啊……

HelixI... Can I really work with them?我……我真的能跟他们一起工作吗？

Clarity - 1 不惑-1

In a bar in the Oasis.绿洲，酒吧。

GinWelcome. May I get you something?欢迎光临。请问来点什么？

GinFor underage guests, I would recommend the "Summer Mood" as it's non-alcoholic.未成年人的话，我推荐这杯“夏日风情”。无酒精。

HelixN-no, it's alright...不，不用了……

HelixI'm looking for someone. Is Miss Groove here?我是来找人的。请问音流小姐在这里吗？

GinShe's inside. However, she might be a little busy now... Oh dear.她在里面。不过她现在可能正在忙……哎呀。

Helix thanks Gin without waiting for him to finish and runs into a side room in the bar.不等琴说完，贺莉斯已经道了谢，朝酒吧里侧的房间跑去。

HelixMiss Groo... huh?音流小……诶？

Upon opening the door, Helix is drowned in a wave of cacophonous music.一推门，贺莉斯就被嘈杂的音乐声淹没了。

GrooveEveryone, with me—!大家跟着一起——！

智能体们Hey! Hey! Hey!嘿！嘿！嘿！

HelixIt... It's so loud...好……好吵……

Helix struggles through the energetic crowd and moves toward the turntable where Groove is standing.贺莉斯艰难地拨开扭动的人群，朝音流所在的DJ台移动。

HelixMiss Groove! Miss Groove!音流小姐！音流小姐！

智能体们Hey! Hey! Hey!嘿！嘿！嘿！

HelixMiss Groove! Can you hear me!音流小姐！听得见吗？

GrooveHey, looks like Groove's gained another fan. C'mere and let me take a look at you!嘿！音流帐下又来一员，让我看看你是谁？

HelixI'm Helix! I'm looking for Miss Banxsy...我是贺莉斯！我是来找坂口希小姐的……

GrooveYou're looking for Blader One? Too bad, she retired long ago!你想找轮滑一姐？可惜她早已隐退！

HelixHuh? Then where is she now?哎？那她在什么地方呢？

GrooveShe's always flying here and there, I'd advise you to not chase her!她行踪来去如飞，我劝你死心勿追！

HelixBut I need to find her...可是，我有事要找她……

GrooveLife is short, why not spend it partying all night? Oh yeah!人生不过几万天，不如跳舞到天黑！Oh yeah！

智能体们Hey! Hey! Hey!嘿！嘿！嘿！

Helix(Whimper)呜……

Helix is about to say something else, but the singing and dancing agents swallow her into their midst.贺莉斯还想说什么，但是沉浸在歌舞中的智能体们已经将她淹没。

Just as she is about to drown in the chaos, a hand suddenly grabs her and pulls her free from the frenzied dance hall.就在她以为自己要在这里沉没的时候，一只手突然拉住了她，及时把她带离了疯狂的舞厅。

HelixWhew... I'm saved...呜……得救了……

DaiyanAre you all right?你没事吧？

DaiyanGroove isn't a bad girl, but she does get a little lost in her music sometimes; I hope you don't take it to heart.音流不是坏孩子，只是有点沉浸在音乐里了，希望你别往心里去。

GinHere, have something to calm yourself down. Would you like fruit juice, or milk?先冷静下来吧。要果汁，还是牛奶？

DaiyanYou're no better, Mr. Gin. How could you let a child walk into a place like that?还有琴先生你也是哦。怎么能放小孩子进这种地方呢？

GinIndeed, that was a failure on my part, even though I tried to stop her...确实是我的失职，虽然我试图阻止过……

Helix(Sniffle) Thank you...呜……谢谢……

HelixUm, were you hurt just now? If you need help, I can...那个，你刚刚有被挤伤吗？如果有需要的话我这里可以……

HelixAh, no, my DNA analyzer hasn't been fixed yet...啊，不对，DNA分析仪还没修好呢。呜……

DaiyanThe first thing you ask after being rescued is to ask after my health? You really are as interesting a child as the rumors say.刚刚才被救出来，第一件事却是问我有没有受伤吗？真是和传闻中一样有趣的孩子呢。

HelixHuh? You've heard of me before?哎？你听说过我？

DaiyanWord has spread far and wide on the anonymous boards. Allow me to introduce myself—I am Daiyan of Cyber Media.在匿名版上可是传得很凶呢。自我介绍一下，我是赛博传媒的黛烟。

HelixAh, Miss Daiyan, I've heard of you before! But what are you doing here?啊，黛烟小姐，我听说过你！不过你怎么会在这里？

DaiyanIt's just for the experience. While it doesn't really suit my tastes, I have to say, this kind of music has its unique charms.只是来稍微体验一下罢了。虽然和我的喜好不太一样，但不得不说，这种类型的音乐也有其特色。

DaiyanRather, why are you looking for Miss Banxsy?比起这个，你找坂口希小姐有什么事呢？

HelixI...我……

DaiyanThere's no need to hold yourself back. The Professor said that we Exiles are all friends.不必顾虑。教授说过，流亡者彼此之间都是伙伴。

DaiyanIf you're experiencing any difficulties, we are all willing to help you.如果遇到了什么困难，我们都是愿意帮忙的。

GinIndeed.正是如此。

HelixUm... Alright...嗯……好的……

Through Daiyan's patient coaxing, Helix talks about everything that has happened thus far.在黛烟的安抚下，贺莉斯说出了目前为止发生的事情。

Helix...So I have the feeling Banxsy hates me... And I'm really worried about her...……所以，我感觉自己可能被坂口希讨厌了……而且也很担心她现在的情况……

DaiyanWhy do you say that?为什么会这样想呢？

HelixShe had gotten hurt because of me, and she got caught for skipping work and was scolded...因为我害她受了伤，还导致她翘班被发现，遭到批评……

DaiyanDo you think skipping work is something that deserves a scolding?那么你觉得翘班这件事，应不应该被批评呢？

HelixAh... Yes, I guess?这个……是应该的吧？

DaiyanThen Banxsy must have understood that as well, right?那么坂口希一定也明白这个道理，对吧？

DaiyanDo you think she's the sort of person who'd blame other people even though she knows full well that it's her own fault for skipping work?你觉得她是那种明知翘班是自己的错，还会迁怒于别人的人吗？

HelixHow... That's not what I meant!怎么会……我不是这个意思！

DaiyanRelax, Helix.别紧张，贺莉斯。

Daiyan soothes Helix, and Gin takes the opportunity to pour her a glass of juice.黛烟安抚着贺莉斯，琴则顺势倒上一杯果汁。

GinWe also believe that Banxsy isn't the sort who'd push blame onto others.我们也相信坂口希不是那种会迁怒于别人的人。

GinConsidering that she even went so far as to get herself hurt to save you.你看，她甚至为了救你，愿意让自己受伤呢。

HelixYeah...嗯……

DaiyanThat's why you shouldn't give yourself a hard time.所以你不要有太大的压力。

DaiyanI advise you to look for Antonina and get your DNA analyzer fixed first.我建议你先去把DNA分析仪修好吧。

DaiyanAfter that, using your role as a doctor, tell Banxsy that you're very concerned about her wound, then apologize to her.然后，再以正牌医生的身份，去向坂口希道歉。告诉她，你很关心她的伤势。

DaiyanYou're a very caring girl, and I believe that once you convey your feelings, everyone will be able to understand you.你是一个非常体贴的孩子，我相信只要你能将自己内心的想法传达出去，大家就都能理解你的。

HelixI... I got it!我……我明白了！

HelixThank you, Miss Daiyan, Mr. Gin!谢谢你们，黛烟小姐，琴先生！

DaiyanHehe. Run along, then.呵呵，快去吧。

Helix seems to have regained her spirits after finishing her juice, and she hops and skips away.贺莉斯喝完果汁，似乎又恢复了精神，蹦蹦跳跳地走掉了。

GinI see, that was a good way to handle it.原来如此，真是个好办法。

DaiyanWhat are you referring to?您指的是哪件事呢？

GinBanxsy is also a regular here, so I have a pretty good idea of what she was thinking.坂口希也是这里的常客，我大致还是能猜到她的想法的。

GinThe reason why she's avoiding Helix is actually because she's embarrassed, don't you think? She broke Helix's DNA analyzer...她之所以对贺莉斯避而不见，其实是因为不好意思吧？因为自己弄坏了贺莉斯的DNA分析仪……

GinAnd you noticed that, which is why you asked her to get the analyzer fixed first.你也看出了这点，所以才让她先去把仪器修好。

DaiyanYou truly are a man of the world, Mr. Gin.不愧是久经世故的琴先生。

DaiyanStill, I am a little curious... Even if she wanted to avoid Helix, she wouldn't have skipped work in the Helios Sector.不过，我也有点好奇……就算是为了躲着贺莉斯，也不至于翘掉赫里奥斯扇区的工作才对。

DaiyanHm, perhaps we should inform the Professor. That might be for the best.嗯，不如知会教授一声吧。那样比较保险。

Saying that, Daiyan makes a call to HQ.黛烟说着，拨通了指挥部的通讯。

Clarity - 2 不惑-2

At the Oasis' Medical Department.绿洲，医疗部门。

Helix(Pants heavily)呼……呼……

HelixYou can do it, Helix. Miss Daiyan is right. You need to focus. Right now, your mission is to fix the analyzer and successfully become a true doctor...贺莉斯，你可以的。黛烟小姐说得对，要专心，现在的任务是修好分析仪，成为真正的医生……

Helix clutches the broken DNA analyzer to her chest and takes a deep breath.抱着碎了的DNA分析仪，贺莉斯深吸了一口气。

HelixHi!你好！

医疗人形The rounds for Wards 1-20 are done. Nothing out of the ordinary.1-20房定期视察完毕，没有异常。

医疗人形Understood. Have you signed for the medical equipment from the Factory?了解。加工厂的医疗器材订单验收了吗？

医疗人形I just received a notification this morning that they're going to delay the handover for the equipment until the evening.今天早上接到通知，要推迟到傍晚交货。

HelixAh...那个……

医疗人形Have you booked the room for the 3PM meeting?下午三点的会议室约好了吗？

医疗人形Yeah, I spoke to them.打过招呼了。

Helix...Excuse me!……对不起打扰一下！

医疗人形们Erk!呃！

医疗人形Sorry, but if you're here for a queue number, please proceed to the front counter. This place isn't open to the public.不好意思，挂号请下楼到前台，这里不对外开放。

HelixNo! I'm not here for an appointment... I'm a doctor, or rather, one who's awaiting assignment.不是！我不是来看病的……我是医生，待入职的医生。

医疗人形Huh? Ah, I remember. You're the kid reporting to Dr. Lancet, right?欸……？啊，我想起来了。你是兰斯特医师交代的那个孩子吧？

医疗人形Is this your first day on the job? Weren't you doing the fine-tuning for your analyzer? Is it finished?你是今天来入职的吗？我记得你不是在做分析仪的调试？已经完成了？

HelixNo... Actually...不是的……其实……

Helix bites her lip and slowly opens her arms.贺莉斯咬了咬下唇，十分艰难地摊开了手。

HelixActually, I accidentally broke it... I'm here to see if this place could fix it...其实是我不小心把它给弄坏了……想来看看这里能不能把它修好……

医疗人形Hmm... Well, this is tricky. It's medical equipment, but yours is...嘶……这可伤脑筋了，虽然都是医疗器械，但你这个……

医疗人形Have you seen anything like this before?你有见过这种仪器吗？

医疗人形Let's see... it's a DNA analyzer, converts an agent's data to the appropriate DNA data...我看看……DNA分析仪，把智能体的数据翻译成对应的DNA信息……

医疗人形This piece of gear is way too specialized. I doubt you could find another one like it on the cloud server.这太小众了，在云端恐怕找不到第二台了吧。

医疗人形Sorry. You may need to speak to Dr. Lancet about this, but she's not in either.抱歉，这可能必须找兰斯特医师，但她现在也不在。

Helix(Whimper) How could this be... A-ah... Then, is Miss Anna in?呜……怎么会这样……那……那个……安娜小姐在吗？

HelixMiss Anna is fine too. She helped put it together, after all.安娜小姐也可以，这个仪器是她帮忙打样的。

医疗人形Ah... Well, that's even more unfortunate. Anna and the others should be doing preparation work right now, because they're about to leave the Oasis.啊这……这就更不巧了，安娜他们现在应该在做准备工作，马上就要离开绿洲了。

HelixHuh? She's leaving the Oasis? But why?欸？离开绿洲？为什么？

医疗人形Probably for a regular inspection. If I'm not wrong, it should be the Helios Sector's turn this month.惯例检查吧，我记得这个月是赫里奥斯扇区。

医疗人形Not just that, they need to clean up Banxsy's mess too. I heard she went missing again.不止，他们还得接手坂口希的烂摊子，听说那家伙又失踪了。

Helix(Whimper) What should I do now...呜……这下该怎么办……

医疗人形Ahhh, they say she went missing, but most likely she's just skipping work again.嗨呀，说是失踪，到头来八成也还是翘班而已。

医疗人形Yeah, she's never been the sort to sit calmly in her ward and she's never played by the rules. Remember what happened last month?是啊是啊，她在病房里都没安生过，从来不按规矩行事。你还记得上个月那次吗？

医疗人形You mean how she covered the whole of the first floor and even the ceiling in graffiti?你是说一层楼连墙带天花板都涂鸦那次？

医疗人形Yeah, she wouldn't take her medicine, she wouldn't listen to medical advice, and she's always skating out of work. My guess is that she probably ran off to someplace else to draw stuff...是啊，药也不吃，医嘱也不听，工作也是动辄开溜。我估计啊，这人八成又是跑到哪个旮旯画画去了……

After seeing how animated the conversation between the two of them is going, Helix has to gather her courage several times before she can open her mouth to interrupt them.看着眼前二人大有聊到天荒地老的架势，贺莉斯给自己鼓了好几次气，才堪堪开口打断。

HelixAh... While it might be going a little far to say this, I really need to see Miss Anna right now. Just a few minutes would be fine...那个……虽然这么说有点过分，但我现在真的很需要见到安娜小姐。几分钟就好……

医疗人形But Anna's very busy right now. Can't it wait?可安娜她现在真的很忙。不能等一等吗？

医疗人形Surely you can put the analyzer aside and do some other work first. No need to rush, right?仪器的事儿可以先放一边，先做点别的工作，不用着急呀？

HelixNo... I... I...不是的……我……我……

Helix hesitates and thinks about what she heard just now. Then she grits her teeth—贺莉斯踌躇着，想着方才听到的信息，一咬牙——

HelixI want to go with them to the Helios Sector!我想和他们一起去赫里奥斯扇区！

医疗人形Excuse me...?这……？

???Isn't that Helix? What's happening?这不是贺莉斯吗？发生什么事了？

医疗人形们It's Persicaria! And the Professor!帕斯卡！还有教授！

HelixBut I wasn't...我没有……

You can't go around causing trouble for people, Helix.不能给大家添麻烦哦，贺莉斯。

No bullying the newbie, you two.你们几个，不能欺负新人哦。

PersicariaRelax, Helix, the Professor was just kidding.别紧张，贺莉斯，教授跟你开玩笑呢。

医疗人形No, we weren't...不，我们不是……

PersicariaAlright, the Professor was just kidding.好啦，教授跟大家开玩笑呢。

Persicaria pats Helix on the head.帕斯卡抚摸着贺莉斯的脑袋。

PersicariaCan you tell us what happened?可以告诉我们发生了什么事吗？

HelixUm...嗯……

Helix tells them about everything that just happened.贺莉斯说明了刚才发生的事情。

ProfessorI see, I understand now.原来如此，我明白了。

ProfessorCarry on with your work.你们先去忙你们的工作吧。

医疗人形们Yes.是。

ProfessorHelix, why are you looking for Antonina?贺莉斯，你来找安冬妮娜做什么呢？

HelixI... I accidentally broke my DNA analyzer, and I wanted Miss Anna to help me fix it.我……我不小心把DNA分析仪摔坏了，想让安娜小姐帮我修好它。

HelixBecause Miss Lancet and Miss Anna gave this analyzer to me.因为这个分析仪就是兰斯特小姐和安娜小姐送给我的。

HelixSince Miss Lancet is out on dispatch, I can only turn to Miss Anna.现在兰斯特小姐在出差，就只能找安娜小姐。

HelixAlso, I need to apologize to her...而且，我还要向她道歉……

PersicariaAntonina wouldn't get mad about small things like this.安冬妮娜可不会为这种小事生气的。

PersicariaThere's no need to worry, Helix. Can you wait until she comes back to tell her?你不用着急，贺莉斯。等她回来再说好吗？

HelixIt's not like that. I'm not looking for Miss Anna out of my own selfishness, but also because I want to go to the Helios Sector with her.不是的，我也不是单纯因为自私才想要催促安娜小姐，我还想和她一起去赫里奥斯扇区。

PersicariaHm? Dispatch assignments can't be so casually given out, you know. Why did you suddenly come up with that idea?欸？外勤工作可不是随随便便安排的，你为什么会突然有这种想法？

HelixI... I heard Miss Anna is going there to salvage things.我……我听说安娜小姐是去救场的。

PersicariaThat's correct. Banxsy was originally the one in charge, but since she abandoned her duties of her own accord and because the situation is a little special, we need Antonina to lead the team.是这样没错，原本的负责人是坂口希，但她擅离职守，加上情况有些特殊，所以才需要安冬妮娜带队。

HelixNo, Banxsy isn't the sort of person to just abandon her responsibilities.不是这样的，坂口希不是会擅离职守的人。

HelixAlthough I don't really understand what she's thinking... I...虽然我也不是非常了解她在想什么……但是……

Helix clenches her fists, as though she's trying to make up her mind.贺莉斯攥紧了拳头，似乎正在试图下定某种决心。

HelixPlease, Professor! Let me see Miss Anna!拜托了，教授！让我去见安娜小姐吧！

PersicariaHelix, don't be selfish. This assignment isn't as easy as you think it is.贺莉斯，不要任性，这次的任务不像你想的那么简单。

PersicariaIf this were just an ordinary task in the Oasis, I could make an exception and let you take part. But there are ruthless Sanctifiers everywhere outside the Oasis, and now you might even encounter the Entropics.如果只是在绿洲的普通任务，我可以破例准许你加入。但绿洲外面到处是无情的净化者，现在还有可能会遭遇熵。

PersicariaI can't let an inexperienced Doll join a dispatch team for personal reasons. It would be letting everyone down.我不能放任一个没有经验的人形因为私人因素就随便加入外勤小队，这是对大家不负责。

HelixBut I heard that the sectors with active Sandbox Barriers don't have Sanctifiers in them, and I'm a medical Doll, so I can deal with the Entropy...可是我听说开启沙盒屏障的扇区里没有净化者，而且我是医疗人形，可以处理熵……

PersicariaHelix.贺莉斯。

Persicaria's tone grows stern, and Helix is so frightened that she immediately shrinks back.帕斯卡加重了语气，吓得贺莉斯立刻又缩了回去。

PersicariaThanks to Banxsy, the work in the Helios Sector has been delayed for a while.因为坂口希的缘故，赫里奥斯扇区的工作已经被耽误一段时间了。

PersicariaWe need to solve our problems as quickly as possible before they pile up, so it's best to let an old hand like Antonina lead a team to deal with it.我们需要尽快把堆积的问题都解决，所以最好还是让安冬妮娜这样的熟手带队处理。

PersicariaMeanwhile, you haven't been in the Oasis for long, so you still need to gain experience. Be good, alright?而你来绿洲的时间还短，还需要积攒经验。听话，好吗？

HelixUm... I... I'm sorry... But... But I...呜……对……对不起……可……可是我……

Helix looks like she's starting to panic. She looks around, and the sight of the Medical Department makes her remember what happened when Banxsy got hurt.贺莉斯变得有些焦急了起来，她环顾四周，医疗部门的环境让她再次回忆起了坂口希受伤的景象。

She takes a deep breath, and then her expression turns serious.贺莉斯深吸了一口气，表情认真。

HelixEven so, I still want to go, Miss Persicaria.可是我还是想去，帕斯卡小姐。

HelixIt isn't because I'm being selfish. I simply feel that Banxsy's accident might have been caused by me, so I can't... I can't...不是任性，只是我觉得坂口希的意外可能是因为我导致的，我不能……我不能……

HelixNow that I've heard this news, I can't just go off and do something else in peace.我没办法在听到这个消息以后心安理得地去做其他的事情。

PersicariaDon't be like this, Helix...贺莉斯，别这样……

ProfessorCan you go over your reasons again?能重申一遍你的想法吗？

PersicariaProfessor?教授？

ProfessorDon't worry, Helix. Tell me, do you want to go to the Helios Sector because you think you've wronged Banxsy, or is it because...别紧张，贺莉斯，我问你，你是因为感觉对不起坂口希，所以想要去赫里奥斯扇区呢，还是因为……

ProfessorYou feel that you're partially responsible for this mission?你觉得这次任务有你一份责任，所以你想去？

HelixI... I... I...我……我……我……

As she looks at my eyes, a timid expression fills Helix's face again, but soon enough it is replaced with one of strength.看着我的眼睛，贺莉斯的怯懦再一次浮现脸庞，但很快，她又露出了坚定的表情。

HelixI'm sorry, Professor. I don't know. What you're saying is very complicated.对不起，教授，我不知道。您说的话好复杂。

HelixI just feel like I need to do SOMETHING. Banxsy was hurt because of me. She is my patient and I am her doctor.我只是觉得自己应该做点什么，坂口希因为我而受伤，她是病人，而我是医生。

HelixAlthough it seems I haven't become one yet.虽然好像还没能入职……

ProfessorVery well. Go, then.那就去吧。

PersicariaProfessor? This isn't very appropriate...教授？这么做不合适……

ProfessorPersicaria.帕斯卡。

I look at Persicaria and wink to her.我看向了帕斯卡，轻轻地眨了眨眼。

ProfessorShe is a doctor and the dispatch team needs a doctor.她是医生，外勤小组需要医生。

Persicaria gets my meaning and turns resignedly to Helix. However, she is greeted by a pair of shiny, pleading eyes.帕斯卡明白了我的意思，她无奈地转向贺莉斯，然而迎接她的是另一双闪闪发光，内蕴祈求的眼眸。

PersicariaI guess... Okay then...行……吧……

HelixThis is great! Thank you, Professor!太好了！谢谢教授！

Helix was clearly down in the dumps just a moment ago, but she immediately perks up again much like a child.刚刚还略显消沉的贺莉斯，立马又像小孩子一样情绪激动起来。

Clarity - 3 不惑-3

At the Oasis' Medical Department.绿洲医疗部门。

Upon seeing Helix's delight, Persicaria frowns, a growing habit of hers.看着雀跃不已的贺莉斯，帕斯卡习惯性地板起了脸。

PersicariaDon't celebrate too soon, Helix. There are some basic ground rules you need to agree on following for this assignment.先别高兴太早，贺莉斯。这次外勤，我得跟你约法三章。

PersicariaFollow Antonina's lead when doing anything; do not do anything dangerous; if you encounter anything unusual, report it to Antonina immediately and do not go running off or doing anything by yourself.一切行动要听安冬妮娜指挥；不能随便做危险的事情；遇到特殊情况第一时间汇报给安冬妮娜，不准擅自行动。

PersicariaCan you do all that?能做到吗？

HelixYes, I'll be good!能的！我一定听话！

PersicariaThen you'd better hurry. Antonina and the others are scheduled to leave by 3 PM. Make sure you pack your things first.那就快去吧，安冬妮娜他们预计的出发时间是下午三点。在那之前收拾好东西。

HelixYes, yes!是，是！

Helix looks worried for a moment, but then she runs off, excitement written all over her face.贺莉斯慌慌张张，但又一脸兴奋地跑掉了。

Persicaria...Professor...……教授……

ProfessorI know what you're thinking, Persicaria.我知道你想说什么，帕斯卡。

ProfessorYou're uneasy because Helix has no field experience, right?贺莉斯没有外出行动的经验，你不放心，是吧？

PersicariaYes... And I'm not just referring to her time in the cloud. As you know, that girl has been cooped up in labs all her life in the real world as well.嗯……不只是在云端，教授您也知道，那孩子还在现实世界的时候，就过着禁止离开实验室的生活。

PersicariaSo she's got less life experience than normal kids, which is why I'm worried that...所以她的生活能力比一般的孩子还要弱，我担心……

ProfessorEvery flower needs to grow.不管是怎样的花朵，都需要一个成长的过程。

ProfessorAnd Helix IS a good sprout, isn't she?而且贺莉斯其实是个好苗子，不是吗？

PersicariaIf this were just an ordinary task in the Oasis, I could make an exception and let you take part. But there are ruthless Sanctifiers everywhere outside the Oasis, and now you might even encounter the Entropics.如果只是在绿洲的普通任务，我可以破例准许你加入。但绿洲外面到处是无情的净化者，现在还有可能会遭遇熵。

PersicariaI can't let an inexperienced Doll join a dispatch team for personal reasons. It would be letting everyone down.我不能放任一个没有经验的人形因为私人因素就随便加入外勤小队，这是对大家不负责。

HelixBut I heard that the sectors with active Sandbox Barriers don't have Sanctifiers in them, and I'm a medical Doll, so I can deal with the Entropy...可是我听说开启沙盒屏障的扇区里没有净化者，而且我是医疗人形，可以处理熵……

ProfessorYou see? She may seem careless, but she's actually very smart and keen. In many cases, once you explain a situation to her, she quickly grasps the key points.你瞧，她虽然看起来冒失，但其实很聪明，也很敏锐。很多事情只要你跟她稍加解释，她就能一下子抓住重点。

ProfessorAlso, her DNA analysis ability might end up being very useful in future.而且，她那个分析DNA的能力，将来或许还会派上大用场呢。

ProfessorWhy not consider it a training session?就当是一次锻炼的机会吧？

Persicaria...Well, if you say so, Professor.……既然教授您这样说了……

Persicaria squeezes my hands, as though she wants to say something else, but in the end she simply nods silently.帕斯卡握住我的手，似乎还想说什么，但最后还是默默点了点头。

On the outskirts of the Helios Sector.赫里奥斯扇区，外环。

AntoninaAll departments, be advised. We've entered the Helios Sector.各部门注意，我们已经进入赫里奥斯扇区了。

AntoninaThere had been no sightings of the Entropics around the Oasis or any allied sectors for the past 27 days, but we still need to be careful.绿洲以及建交的各个扇区周围已经连续27日没有出现熵的目击报告，但依然需要小心谨慎。

AntoninaHelix, stay close to me and don't wander off.贺莉斯，离我近点，别走散。

HelixYes, Miss Anna!是，安娜小姐！

Helix looks around in curiosity as she follows behind Antonina with small, quick steps.贺莉斯迈着小碎步跟在安冬妮娜身后，好奇地张望着周围的一切。

HelixIs this how the Helios Sector originally was? It looks like a forest!赫里奥斯扇区原来是这样的吗？看上去简直像丛林一样！

HelixBut I heard this sector was supposed to research a new energy source...可是我听说这里是研究新能源的扇区呀……

AntoninaThat's inside the sector. The reason why the outskirts were made to look like a forest was in order to simulate the potential harm done to the surroundings when using that new energy source in real life.那是扇区内环。外环被做成了模拟丛林的样子，据说是为了模拟现实中研发新能源可能对周边环境造成的危害。

HelixI see.原来如此。

AntoninaDon't go gawking around...不要东张西望……

HelixAre those conifers? I heard they grow around Svarog H.I.'s No. 3 Nuclear Plant!那个就是针叶林吧？我听说火神重工的三号核电站附近就是这样的！

HelixAh, those are pines! There's so many of them!啊，那个是落叶松！还有好多松子哦！

HelixI wonder if they have any simulated squirrels... I'd like to touch one...不知道有没有模拟的松鼠哦……好想摸一摸……

AntoninaShe really is a kid.到底是小孩子啊。

AntoninaStill... You DO know a lot, don't you?不过……你懂的还真不少？

HelixEhehe. I used to be cooped up in a lab all the time, and while I was researching DNA, I didn't get to see any live creatures other than my fellow researchers and the lab animals.诶嘿嘿。我以前一直住在研究所里，虽然是研究DNA的，但其实除了研究员们和实验小动物，几乎就没见过其他活着的生物了。

HelixSo I looked up lots and lots of files and read many books... And through them, I came to understand the outside world.所以我就查了好多资料，看了好多书……通过那些办法来了解外面的世界。

HelixStill, seeing it in person is totally different!不过，亲眼看到的感觉果然还是不一样呀！

AntoninaIt's not like this is the outside world anyway. It's just another prison... But I can't bear to point that out.这里也不是外面的世界，只不过是另一个囚牢罢了……但真不忍心现在指出这点啊。

HelixHuh? What's that?哎？那个是什么？

HelixI've never seen those plants in any of my reference materials before...没在任何资料里见过的植物哎……

AntoninaOh, those. They're the Energy Herbs that's unique to Helios Sector. They don't exist in the real world.啊，那个啊。那是赫里奥斯扇区特有的聚能草，现实世界里是没有的。

HelixAh, so they're the kind Miss Choco uses to make chocolate.啊，就是巧可小姐用来做巧克力的那种吗！

HelixHup~嘿咻。

Helix plucks a handful of Energy Grass and plays around with it.贺莉斯摘了一株聚能草，拿在手里把玩着。

HelixMiss Anna, while I've heard you say that the Medical Department needs to deal with the Entropics, what exactly ARE they?对了，安娜小姐，虽然经常听你们说医疗部门要负责处理熵，但它到底是一种什么东西呢？

AntoninaWhy are you asking all of a sudden?你突然问这个做什么？

HelixEhehe... Well, in order to convince the Professor to let me come out, I told him I could take care of the Entropy, but the truth is I don't really know what they are...诶嘿嘿……之前为了说服教授放我出来，我跟他们说我可以处理熵，但其实我也还不是很清楚……

AntoninaTsk. You look like such a goody-two-shoes, but turns out even you can resort to petty tricks when you're desperate.啧，你这家伙看上去老老实实的，没想到着急了也会耍小聪明。

AntoninaThe Entropy is a malicious computer virus. It's very complex and hard to handle. Right now, many research projects in the Oasis are targeted at dealing with the Entropy virus.熵是一种恶劣的程序病毒，复杂且棘手，现在绿洲的许多研究项目都是针对熵设立的。

HelixI see... I'm really curious about its makeup...这样啊……真好奇它们的构成啊……

HelixMiss Anna, if we translate the Entropy virus into a DNA-like structure, what would it be like?安娜小姐，要是把那些叫做熵的程序病毒翻译成DNA的构成形式，会是怎么样的呢？

AntoninaWhat else could it be like? The Entropy virus' code is disordered and chaotic, and if you rendered it into DNA... DNA...还能是怎样的，熵嘛，代码无序且混乱，翻译成DNA……DNA……

AntoninaNo, that's not right, the structure of DNA is stable and complete...不对，DNA的结构稳固完整……

As she says this, the thrill of surprise runs through her.安冬妮娜说着说着，心里突然一惊。

HelixHm? What's the matter, Miss Anna?嗯？怎么了，安娜小姐？

AntoninaNo, it's nothing. You brought up an excellent point. Yes, well done!没，没什么。你提了个很棒的思路，嗯，不错！

HelixReally?! I'm glad I could help!真的吗？！能帮上忙就太好了！

As she looks at the broken DNA analyzer at Helix's waist, Antonina begins thinking.看着贺莉斯腰间那台破破烂烂的DNA分析仪，安冬妮娜陷入了沉思。

Clarity - 4 不惑-4

In the Helios Sector's Admin Center.赫里奥斯扇区，管理员中心。

菲尔伍德[Welcome, honored guests.]【欢迎你们，尊贵的客人们。】

AntoninaAh, thanks for going to all this trouble, Firewood.唔，辛苦了，菲尔伍德。

AntoninaCould you explain the general situation to us?能先说明一下大致的情况吗？

菲尔伍德[Three days ago, we received news that Miss Banxsy would be coming to hand over the work here.]【三天前，我们接到了坂口希小姐要来交接工作的请求。】

菲尔伍德[However, it has been over 48 hours since the time she was estimated to reach her post and she still has not shown up yet. We had no choice but to notify the Oasis.]【可是距离预定到岗时间已经过了超过48小时，她还没有出现。我们只好向绿洲发出通告。】

AntoninaDid she not arrive at the Admin Center, or did she not arrive in Helios Sector at all?她是没到管理员中心呢，还是压根没来赫里奥斯扇区？

菲尔伍德[Data insufficient, unable to determine.]【情报不足，无法判断。】

AntoninaHm? Don't you have a firewall...嗯？你们不是有防火墙……

AntoninaRight, it was changed to a Sandbox Barrier and Banxsy is on the whitelist. I forgot...哦对，已经改成沙盒屏障了，坂口希在白名单里。我给忘了……

菲尔伍德[Data insufficient, unable to determine.]【情报不足，无法判断。】

AntoninaWhat about the mini-robots? Have there been any sightings from them?那么小机器人呢？有任何来自小机器人的目击报告吗？

菲尔伍德[One moment please. Now gathering the mini-robots...]【请稍等。正在调集小机器人……】

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o Looking for me?]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 叫我吗？】

小机器人B[(ﾉ´▽｀)ﾉ♪ I'm here.]【(ﾉ´▽｀)ﾉ♪来咯来咯。】

小机器人C[(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ What's up?]【(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ有什么事呀！】

HelixWow, they're so cute!哇，好可爱！

小机器人C[(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ She praised us!]【(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ被夸啦！】

小机器人B[(ﾉ´▽｀)ﾉ♪ Yaaaay!]【(ﾉ´▽｀)ﾉ♪好耶。】

AntoninaUgh... Quiet please.唔……别吵。

AntoninaLet me ask you: have you seen a girl like this in the Helios Sector recently?我问你们，这几天来有在赫里奥斯扇区看到过一个这样的女孩子吗？

Antonina shows them a projection of Banxsy.安冬妮娜调出坂口希的投影。

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o It's a catgirl.]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 是猫猫女孩。】

小机器人B[[・_・?] Have you seen her before?]【[・_・?]你见过吗？】

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o Nope.]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 没有哎。】

小机器人C[(°_°) That's an unfamiliar agent.]【(°_°)是陌生的智能体呢。】

AntoninaTch, no good, huh...啧，不行吗……

HelixCould it be that Banxsy never came to the Helios Sector?难道坂口希没有来到赫里奥斯扇区？

AntoninaIt's hard to say. If she really wanted to skip out on work, you couldn't stop her with any number of security cameras, let alone these stupid mini-robots.不，也不好说。她要是真心想翘班的话，多少监控摄像头都拦不住她，更别说这些呆呆的小机器人了。

AntoninaI have another question. Have you spotted anything unusual in the Sector recently?那我再问你们，这几天，扇区里有没有出现过什么不同寻常的东西？

AntoninaIt doesn't matter how trivial it is. Just tell me.多细微的情况都行，总之都告诉我。

小机器人B[[・_・?] Unusual?]【[・_・?]不同寻常？】

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o It means different from the ordinary.]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 就是跟平时不一样的意思。】

小机器人C[( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣＜ Oh, I know!]【( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣＜那我知道！】

小机器人C[(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ Little A hasn't been blowing up recently.]【(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ小A最近不发火了。】

小机器人B[(°_°) Our break time chocolate supply has been cut off.]【(°_°)休息时间的巧克力断供了。】

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o There are strange flowers outside the reactor.]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 反应堆外面有奇怪的花花。】

小机器人C[(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ We've almost finished building a statue to our heroes!]【(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ给英雄们的雕像快造好了！】

The mini-robots jabber excitedly about all sorts of things.小机器人们七嘴八舌地说着各种各样的情报。

AntoninaUgh... I can't make sense of what they're trying to say.唔……这样根本听不懂它们想表达什么意思啊。

AntoninaFirewood, can you help me sum it up?菲尔伍德，你能帮我总结一下吗？

菲尔伍德[Too many data points...]【情报过多……】

AntoninaUrgh...呃……

AntoninaHow did the Professor and the others communicate with them in the past...教授们以前到底是怎么跟它们沟通的啊……

AntoninaHm? What are you doing, Helix?嗯？贺莉斯，你在干什么？

HelixAre these the flowers you're talking about?你说的花花，是这样的吗？

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o Nope.]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 不对哦。】

HelixHow are they different?是哪里不对呢？

小机器人A[︿(￣︶￣)︿ They don't have long sticks underneath them.]【︿(￣︶￣)︿下面没有长长的棍子。】

HelixThen, are they like this?那，难道是这样的？

小机器人A[⊙０⊙ Still not it.]【⊙０⊙还是不对。】

AntoninaHelix, you can talk to them?贺莉斯，你能跟它们交流？

HelixYup, just gesture in the air and they seem to understand.嗯，在空中这样比划一下，它们好像就能理解。

AntoninaAre you serious, that is just way too out there...真的假的，这也太玄学了……

AntoninaStill, in that case, I'll be counting on you. Try and learn something from them.不过既然这样，就拜托你了。帮我从它们那里问出情报吧。

HelixHuh? Me?哎？我吗？

AntoninaYup. I just can't get through to them. I get the feeling their programmer was some asshole who used emojis when coding them.嗯。我跟这帮家伙实在合不来，总感觉给它们编程的一定是个会用颜文字写代码注释的混蛋。

HelixSo you're saying I can help?也就是说，我能帮上忙了？

AntoninaYup, so make sure you do a good job.嗯，要好好干哦。

HelixOkay! I'll do my best!好！我会全力以赴！

Some time later.一段时间后。

HelixI figured it out, Miss Anna!我弄明白了，安娜小姐！

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o Perfect understanding.]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 完全明白啦。】

HelixThey weren't talking about "flowers", but "pictures"...原来它说的不是“花花”，是“画画”……

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o Pictures!]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 画画！】

AntoninaWhat does that mean?什么意思？

HelixStrange designs have been appearing on the walls of the reactors recently, so they think those are "pictures" of some sort.最近在反应堆的墙上出现了颜色奇怪的图案，它们认为那是一种“画”。

AntoninaPictures on walls... Isn't that graffiti?墙上的画……那不就是涂鸦？

HelixUm... That's what it said...嗯……它是这样说的……

AntoninaThese mini-robots can't draw. Naturally, Sanctifiers and Entropics can't draw either.这里的小机器人可没有画画的能力。当然，净化者和熵也都没有。

AntoninaLooks like Banxsy left her post to look for inspiration around the reactors.看样子，坂口希擅自离岗，就是跑去反应堆那边找灵感了吧。

HelixBut...可是……

AntoninaHmph, I don't like to nag like Persicaria, but dumping work on me is another matter.哼，我倒不像帕斯卡她们那么爱唠叨，不过把工作丢给我可就另当别论了。

AntoninaWhen I find her I'm going to give her a good scolding...等找到她了，一定要好好说一顿……

菲尔伍德[Then, about the tasks in the sector which need to be performed...]【那么关于待处理的扇区事务……】

AntoninaAh, I got it. We'll take care of them right now.啊，我知道了啦。这就来处理。

AntoninaI need to take over the work from the administrator. You wait around here and rest for a bit, Helix.我先去跟管理员对接工作。贺莉斯，你就在这附近休息一会儿吧。

AntoninaOnce we've settled things here, we'll go look for Banxsy...等这边的事情都搞定了，我们再去找坂口希……

Helix...Yeah, okay.……嗯，好的。

HelixBanxsy... Is she really that sort of person?坂口希……她真的会是那种人吗？

HelixAlthough she skips work often, it seems like it's because she finished early and ran off...虽然她确实经常翘班，但好像基本都是提前完成了工作再早退……

HelixWould she really abandon such an important task as the work in the Helios Sector...赫里奥斯扇区的交接工作，这么重要的事情，她真的会就这么丢下不管吗？

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o Would she would she?]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 会吗会吗？】

HelixI don't think so right? What do you think, Mini-Robot?应该不会的吧？小机器人，你说呢？

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o I don't know!]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 我不知道！】

HelixOh you...你呀……

Helix hugs the mini-robot's head and looks at the scrapes upon it left behind from work, and once again she thinks about Banxsy's wounded leg.贺莉斯抱着小机器人圆圆的脑袋，看着上面因工业作业而留下的斑驳痕迹，又一次想到了坂口希受伤的腿。

HelixDon't tell me... The reason why she hasn't shown up for so long is because she's in danger...该不会……如果她迟迟不出现，是因为遇到了什么危险的话……

HelixLooks like Miss Anna is going to be busy for a while. But if Banxsy needs help...安娜小姐好像一时半会还脱不了身的样子。但是如果坂口希需要帮助……

BanxsyDon't panic, and don't talk. You can't put band-aids on your tongue.别慌，噤声，舌头被咬到了可是没有办法贴创可贴的。

BanxsyDon't call them, your bandaging was good, there's no need to bother the Medical Department.别打，你的包扎挺好的，医疗部就不用喊了。

HelixPerhaps, she really needs me now...也许，现在就是需要我的时候……

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o Do your best!]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 加油！】

HelixDo you know your way around the sector, Mini-Robot?小机器人，你认得扇区里的路吧？

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o Of course I do!]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 都认得哦！】

HelixCan you take me to where you found the graffiti?可以请你带我到发现涂鸦的地方吗？

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o No problem!]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 没问题！】

小机器人A[(～￣▽￣)～ Come with me!]【(～￣▽￣)～ 跟我来吧——】

Quick Wits - 1 急智-1

Helios Sector, near the Arche Pyr.赫里奥斯扇区，“世界之火”附近。

HelixSo this is the Arche Pyr...这就是“世界之火”啊……

HelixIt's every bit as grand as the rumors said it was.真的像传闻中一样宏伟啊。

HelixTo think the Professor and the others actually lit up such an amazing thing...教授们，竟然让这么了不起的东西亮了起来……

Helix(Whimper) What can I even do, compared to them...呜……相比之下我又能做到什么呢……

小机器人A[[・_・?] What's the matter?]【[・_・?]你怎么啦？】

HelixEr, it's nothing.呃，没什么。

Helix stares at the blinding Arche Pyr.贺莉斯凝望着耀眼的“世界之火”。

HelixBanxsy...坂口希……

HelixWhile the Arche Pyr is magnificent, I'm pretty sure Banxsy wouldn't have been so entranced by it that she'd forget everything else.虽然“世界之火”确实很壮丽，但我不觉得坂口希会被它迷到不顾一切。

HelixThere's got to be another reason... Please, Mini-Robot! Take me there quickly!一定还有别的什么理由……拜托了，小机器人！快点带我过去吧！

小机器人A[(～￣▽￣)～ Right this way—]【(～￣▽￣)～ 跟我来吧——】

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o It should be near these reactors!]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 大概就是在这几个反应堆附近！】

Helix"These"? So Banxsy didn't draw just one piece of graffiti?几个？坂口希难道留下了不止一个涂鸦吗？

HelixUm, but there are so many reactors here, if I had to go in and search each one by myself...唔，但这么多数量的反应堆，如果一个一个进去搜查的话，仅凭我……

Helix looks down and begins thinking.贺莉斯低下头，开始思考。

Helix...I've got it!……有了！

HelixMini-Robot? Are there any reactors which look different or unique? You know the kind that might spur the imagination or something?小机器人，这些反应堆里面，有造型比较特殊的吗？容易激发想象的那种。

小机器人A[[・_・?] What do you mean?]【[・_・?]什么意思？】

HelixUm... That is to say, they look particularly distinctive and different from the other reactors.唔……就是，特别显眼的，看起来跟其他反应堆都不一样的。

小机器人A[(°_°) One moment please, let me check...]【(°_°) 我得查一下，查询……】

小机器人A[( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣ Got one. No. 3 Reactor looks different from the others. The design was provided by our heroes.]【( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣有哩，3号反应堆和其他的都不一样，设计图纸是英雄们提供的。】

小机器人A[(〃＞v＜) It's suuuuper cool!]【(〃＞v＜)超~——酷炫！】

HelixLet's go take a look!走，我们去那里看看！

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o We're here.]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 我们到啦。】

HelixThis is...这是……

Helix can already sense something is off even without entering the reactor.不等进入反应堆，贺莉斯就察觉到了异常。

There are large streaks of purple on the doorway and faint traces of wheel tracks.门口留下了大量的紫色划痕，轮滑的行迹隐约可见。

HelixThese tracks... They're from roller-skates! She's here! But... Why are they so messy...这个痕迹……是轮滑鞋！她在这儿！可是……为什么这么凌乱……

HelixTake me to where you saw the graffiti, Mini-Robot!你快带我到看见涂鸦的地方吧，小机器人！

小机器人A[ヾ(°∀°ゞ) Roger—]【ヾ(°∀°ゞ)遵命——】

Inside Reactor No. 3.3号反应堆，内部。

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o This is it.]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 就是这个。】

HelixEh..?噫……？

HelixAre you saying... This is graffiti?你说，这是……涂鸦？

Upon seeing the "graffiti", Helix is immediately stricken by an indescribable sense of foreboding.实际亲眼看到“涂鸦”的时候，贺莉斯立刻感受到了一种难以言说的违和感。

HelixThis isn't right... This is definitely not Banxsy's graffiti...不对……这肯定不是坂口希的涂鸦……

HelixBanxsy's designs would never be so messy and she'd use brighter colors, not dull ones like these! All this is just purple, isn't it?坂口希的图案没有这么乱，用的配色也会更加明亮，没有这么单调！这不是只有紫色吗？

HelixWait a minute, purple... I think the people in the Medical Department said...等一下，紫色……我记得医疗部门的人说过……

小机器人A[(〃＞皿＜) Shhhhh!!!]【(〃＞皿＜)嘘——嘘！！】

HelixHng?呜？

The mini-robot suddenly tugs on Helix's sleeves and indicates that she should look up.小机器人忽地扯了扯贺莉斯的衣袂，示意她噤声往上看。

HelixOh my– Mfffff!天……唔——唔——！

Helix quickly covers her mouth so she doesn't exclaim in shock.贺莉斯迅速地捂住了嘴，防止自己惊叫出声。

As far as she can see, the interior of the cylindrical reactor is crawling with densely-packed, writhing Entropics.视野里，开阔巨大的圆柱状反应堆内部爬满了密密麻麻的，蠕动着的熵。

They crawl in bizarre and terrifying ways toward the sole patch of light in this endless sea of purple.它们用怪异可怖的姿态行进着，朝着无边的紫海中唯一一抹亮色行进着。

HelixMy God, Ban... Banxsy!天哪，坂……坂口希！

The mini-robot extends a mechanical arm and forcefully drags Helix outside.小机器人伸出了机械臂，可劲地拽着贺莉斯往外挪。

HelixI can't...! We can't just leave like this! Banxsy's still, Banxsy's still...不行……！我们不能就这样走掉，坂口希她，坂口希她……

Helix looks fearfully up at that figure that still appears to be at ease, but is clearly looking more and more ragged.贺莉斯忧心忡忡地望着半空中，那尚算游刃有余，却明显愈发狼狈的身影。

HelixI have to help her... What should I do... Mini-Robot, what should I do?我得帮帮她……我该怎么做……小机器人，我该怎么做？

小机器人A[Σ(⊙▽⊙"a Are you asking me?]【Σ(⊙▽⊙"a你问我吗？】

HelixHelp me think of something! Aren't there defense mechanisms inside the reactor?快想想办法呀！反应堆里就没有什么自卫装置吗？

小机器人A[Σ(⊙▽⊙"a I really don't know, I'm just a mini-robot.]【Σ(⊙▽⊙"a我真不道啊，我只是个小机器人。】

Helix(Whimpers) Oh no... What should I do...呜——怎么办……我该怎么办？

Helix gets so frantic that her little face flushes red. She runs her hands up and down herself, in search of something that might prove useful–贺莉斯急得小脸通红，双手在自己身上来回摸索，试图找到点什么有用的东西——

HelixAh– I've got it! The Energy Herbs! Right! The Energy Herbs!啊——这个！聚能草！对了！聚能草！

HelixMini-Robot, is there anything like a smelter inside the reactor?小机器人，反应堆里有熔炼矿物的地方吗？

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o I know the answer to that! This way!]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 你问这个我就知道了嘛，走！】

BanxsyWhat rotten luck... (Pants) These guys...真是倒霉……呼……呼……这些家伙……

BanxsyThey're such a pain in the ass... At this rate...难办啊……再这样下去的话……

After glancing at the Entropics behind her, Banxsy draws a ragged breath as she skates along the complex maze of walkway handrails inside the reactor.回望了一眼身后的熵，坂口希喘着粗气，在反应堆内复杂的走道壁轨间滑行。

BanxsyWell, meeting my end in a place like this, dying in a sea of disgusting monsters... Uhm... How should I say this, it feels kind of artistic.交代在这种地方，死在恶心的怪海里……嗯……怎么说呢，感觉好像还挺艺术的。

Just as the notion of giving up begin to appear in Banxsy's mind, her nose twitches as she suddenly picks up a strange odor.就在坂口希内心堪堪浮现出要放弃的念头时，鼻尖闻到了一缕奇异的味道。

BanxsyThis is...这是……

Clang–铿——

The Entropics crawling inside the reactor have an even more dramatic reaction. They stop and look down as one.攀爬在反应堆内的熵们反应更为剧烈，它们整齐划一地止住了身形，齐齐朝下方看去。

BanxsyWhat's that smell, Energy Herbs?嘶……这个味道，聚能草？

Just as she freezes up, the Entropics cry out before turning as one to rush toward the smelter below them.就在她愣神间，这些熵鸣叫着，推搡着，一同调转了方向，朝着下方的熔锻炉冲去。

HelixAiiieeeee! Run! Run away!噫！快……快跑！

小机器人A[!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ Beating feet! Beating feet!]【!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ溜了溜了！】

Banxsy...Helix?!……贺莉斯？！

Inside a certain room within Reactor No. 3.3号反应堆，某个空房间内。

小机器人A[(〃＞皿＜) Hup... Hup...]【(〃＞皿＜)嘿咻……嘿咻……】

小机器人A[(〃＞皿＜) Arms... Not long enough...]【(〃＞皿＜)胳膊……不够长……】

HelixJust a little more!再加把劲！

The mini-robot and Helix use their arms and legs in unison to pile the tables and chairs in the room over the doorway until they're sure the Entropics can't bash it open easily.小机器人和贺莉斯一起手脚并用，把房间里的桌椅堆到门口，直到确定它不会轻易被熵撞开为止。

BanxsyWhew, at last... At least I can rest now.呼，总算……总算是可以休息了。

Banxsy's body goes limp right as she says that and Helix grabs her.话音刚落，坂口希身体一软，被贺莉斯赶忙抱住。

HelixBan... Banxsy?! Are... Are you alright?!坂……坂口希？！你……你还好吗？！

BanxsyRelax, I'm just a little worn out.别慌，只是有点脱力。

BanxsyThese guys had me trapped for several days now. What are you doing here, anyway?我被这些家伙困了好几天了，说起来你怎么在这儿？

HelixI came with Miss Anna... They said you abandoned your post but I didn't believe them...我是跟着安娜小姐过来的……他们说你擅离职守，我不相信……

BanxsyAh... Well, that's true. I've been trapped here for so many days, it's definitely been long past time since I took over.啊……是了，我被困了这么多天，交接工作是超时了。

HelixI knew it! I knew you wouldn't be so irresponsible and that something must have happened.我就知道的！坂口希不会真的那么没有责任心，一定是发生了意外。

Banxsy(Coughs) Well... Anyway, we should think about how to get out of here.咳咳，嘛……总之，我们现在该关注的是怎么出去。

BanxsyI don't know how so many Entropics snuck into the Helios Sector either.也不知道赫里奥斯扇区是怎么混进来这么多熵的。

HelixWas there a loophole?是因为有漏洞吗？

BanxsyI don't know. In any case, this whole thing isn't normal.我也不知道，总之这个情况不正常。

BanxsyWhile you managed to draw their attention with the Energy Herbs, we're not getting out of here as long as those Entropics are blocking the entrance.虽然你用聚能草吸引了它们的注意力，但只要这些熵还堵在门口，我们就出不了这个反应堆。

HelixThat's true...确实……

BanxsyStill, since you're here, it means the Oasis has sent someone to look for me, right?不过既然你来了，就说明绿洲已经派人来找我了吧？

HelixYeah... But they still don't know how serious the situation is...嗯……但他们可能还没有意识到问题的严重性……

Helix quickly narrates the events before this.贺莉斯简单讲述了之前发生的事情。

BanxsyTsk, that Anna. She can be surprisingly slow when she isn't motivated.啧。这个安娜，没有干劲的时候还真是迟钝得可以。

BanxsyHow about you? Did you bring your communicator along?那你呢？有带通讯器吗？

HelixAh... I think I dropped it in the Admin Center...这个……好像落在管理员中心了……

BanxsyHonestly, you... You're smart, but careless...唉，你呀，说聪明也挺聪明，说冒失也冒失……

Helix(Sniffle)呜……

BanxsyStill, that's alright. If even you've gone missing as well, surely Anna would notice no matter how dumb she is, right?不过也好。连你也失踪了，安娜再笨也该注意到了吧？

BanxsyIn any case, you sure helped me out a lot... Urk...!不管怎么说，这次你可都是帮了我大忙……呃……！

Banxsy suddenly grunts and her body twitches.坂口希忽地低哼出声，身体抽搐了几下。

HelixBanxsy?! What's wrong?坂口希？！你怎么了？

BanxsyI... I'm fine...我……没什么……

HelixNo, you're injured! You're hurt!不对，你有伤口！你受伤了！

HelixTake off your jacket and show me!快把外套拿开，让我看看！

BanxsyDon't get so worked up...你别激动……

Helix ignores her and pulls away the jacket Banxsy has tied around her waist, revealing her thigh. She sees the wound from a few days ago– not only has it not healed, but its edges are tinged with a faint purple color.贺莉斯不由分说地扯开了坂口希绑在腰上的外套，露出大腿。只见那条前些天留下的创口，此刻不仅没有愈合，还染上了一抹淡淡的紫色。

Quick Wits - 3 急智-3

HelixThis is...这是……

HelixI... I'm sorry! It's all my fault!对……对不起！都怪我！

HelixYou didn't manage to escape because you got hurt last time, right? (Sob) It's all my—你是因为上次受的伤所以才没跑出去的对不对？呜——都怪我……

BanxsyTaking the blame for everything isn't a good habit to have, you know.乱接锅可不是什么好习惯，跟你没关系。

BanxsyIt was my fault that I didn't run off the moment I found a problem.没能在发现问题的第一时间逃出去，是我自己能力不够。

HelixBut...可是……

BanxsyNo buts.没有可是。

BanxsyDon't be like that, Helix. Why do you keep acting like everything's your fault?别这样，贺莉斯，为什么你总是一副都是自己的错的样子？

HelixBecause... Because I DO make a lot of mistakes...因为……因为我确实经常犯错……

HelixIt was like in my past labs, and in the Oasis before, I'm always so careless and I can't help anyone...以前在实验室里也是，之前在绿洲也是，总是冒冒失失的，帮不上大家的忙……

HelixI also heard that my search for injured people caused a lot of problems for the Exiles...我听说，因为我到处找受伤的人，给流亡者的大家也添了很多麻烦……

BanxsyDid they blame you for it?他们怪你了？

HelixWell... Not really...那……倒是没有……

BanxsyYou see? There's no need for you to beat yourself up.所以你看，根本没有需要你纠结的地方。

BanxsyHonestly, you're just a little lab rat who locks herself up in her cage.你啊，真像是一只把自己关在笼子的小白鼠。

Helix(Sniffle) You sound just like Miss Panakeia, Banxsy.呜——坂口希说得和帕那刻亚小姐好像。

Helix"Don't go blaming all the problems on yourself", and all that.不要总把问题归咎到自己身上……什么的。

BanxsyThat's just the impression you give others.因为你给人的印象就是如此吧。

BanxsyAlso, why do you call Panakeia "Miss Panakeia"?话又说回来，为什么叫帕那刻亚就是“帕那刻亚小姐”？

HelixHuh? But I always address everyone like that...哎？我对大家都是这样叫的……

BanxsyThen why do you call me "Banxsy"?那为什么我就是“坂口希”？

HelixI... I... I don't know.我……我……我不知道。

HelixI just think... You're not the same... As everyone else, Banxsy.我觉得……坂口希和大家……都不一样。

HelixYou're always doing things I can't do so easily.总是能轻易地做到我做不到的事情。

BanxsyOf course. That's because there are no shackles on me.那肯定啊，因为我的身上没有枷锁。

BanxsyWould you like to learn? About how to be like me, that is.你想学吗？跟我一样。

HelixI... Can I?我……可以吗？

BanxsyWhy not? It's not like it's very difficult.为什么不行？又不是很难的事情。

BanxsyI, for one, dislike worrying about things around me and being hesitant or timid.我啊，最不喜欢瞻前顾后，唯唯诺诺了。

BanxsyOf course, that doesn't mean I dislike you.当然，我这话不是嫌弃你。

BanxsyI was just thinking, if you really do feel sorry or embarrassed for what you've done, why not just go all out and try to change?我只是在想，如果你真的觉得抱歉，真的觉得不好意思，那就放开手脚尝试改变怎么样？

BanxsyI mean you did pretty well, didn't you? You found me AND saved me.你看你这次做得不就很出色么？找到了我，还帮我解了围。

HelixIt... It's not that...也……也没有这么……

BanxsyIt is.有的。

Banxsy suddenly lifts up the brim of her cap and looks Helix dead in the eye, until Helix starts to get a little nervous about it.坂口希忽地掀起帽檐，认真地盯着贺莉斯，直到贺莉斯被盯得有些惊慌。

BanxsyYou're amazing, little doctor. And I mean what I say.小医生，你很厉害的。我说的，我保证。

Saying so, Banxsy stands up and extends a hand to Helix.说着，坂口希站了起来，向贺莉斯伸出了手。

BanxsyWhy don't you try believing in yourself for once, just like you believed in me?相信自己一次怎么样，就像你相信我那样。

HelixHuh...?欸……？

BanxsyIt's time to move. I've got a plan.该行动了，我已经有计划了。

HelixBut your leg...?可是你的腿……？

BanxsyYou took care of it already, didn't you?你已经做过处理了不是吗？

HelixAs it... It's just a simple bandage, it won't do anything. If only I'd asked Miss Anna to take some time out to fix the DNA analyzer sooner...哪有……只是简单的包扎，没什么作用的。如果早点求安娜小姐抽空修好DNA分析仪……

BanxsyYou did your best under the circumstances. Have you already forgotten what I said just now?在这种情况下，你已经做到最好了，我刚说的你忘记了么？

BanxsyHave some faith in yourself. It's time we headed out. We trendsetters can't hang around the same old street corner for too long.相信一下自己，该出发了，人潮的先锋可不能在某个街角驻足太久。

BanxsySo, what say you?那么，你的答案是？

HelixI... I believe in you!我……我相信你！

BanxsyThat's not enough, you know. I mean, we've been talking for so long—surely that can't be all.这可不太够啊，和你说了这么多，总不能只有这点反应。

Helix takes a deep breath, and then she vigorously nods her head.贺莉斯深深出了一口气，而后用力地点了点头。

HelixY-Yeah! I'll believe in myself too.嗯……嗯！我也相信自己！

BanxsyThat's more like it. Now then, let's get ready to move out!早这样还差不多。那，我们准备出发吧！

BanxsyJust now, I thought of an awesome plan. But it needs you, me and it to make it work.就在刚才，我已经想出了一个绝妙的作战，而且必须是你，我，还有它——才能办到的作战哦。

小机器人A[(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o Do I count too?]【(oﾟ▽ﾟ)o 我也算吗？】

BanxsyOf course you do.当然咯。

BanxsyCan you keep up with me, Helix?你能跟上来吧，贺莉斯？

HelixY...yeah!嗯……嗯！

Quick Wits - 4 急智-4

小机器人A[(〃＞皿＜) Huff... Puff...]【(〃＞皿＜)吭哧……吭哧……】

BanxsyCome on! Just a little more!加油！还差一点儿！

HelixAre you alright, Mini-Robot?没事吧，小机器人？

小机器人A[(〃＞皿＜) At maximum... output... Can still... Go on...]【(〃＞皿＜)功率……最大……还能……维持……】

BanxsyThat's right, keep it up!不错，就是这个势头！

A mini-robot flies high over the reactor; its scrawny arms are doing their best to hold up two Doll girls.在反应堆上空，一只小机器人正扑棱扑棱地飞着。它瘦弱的胳膊下，此时正努力拉扯着两位人形少女。

Below them, countless lesser Entropics are gathered into a pile, looking up dumbly at the scene above their heads.在她们下方，许多低级熵个体聚成一团，呆呆地仰望着头顶的光景。

HelixUwah... If we fall now...呜哇哇……要是掉下去的话……

HelixI'm not scared, I'm not scared, I'll be fine...不怕，不怕，没事的……

BanxsyThis is pretty fun. It's like riding a hot-air balloon.真有意思，就跟坐热气球一样。

小机器人A[(〃＞皿＜) Load... exceeding threshold... Warning...]【(〃＞皿＜)载重……过高……警告……】

Banxsy...Do you want me to dump my paint on you right now?……你是想我现在把颜料浇到你头上吗？

小机器人A[(〃＞皿＜) ...]【(〃＞皿＜)……】

BanxsyHeh, I was just kidding. Say, once we get out of this, why don't I get Choco to make you some Energy Herb chocolate?哈，开玩笑的。等平安脱困以后，我让巧可给你做聚能草巧克力怎么样？

小机器人A[(〃＞皿＜) ...Chocolate!]【(〃＞皿＜)……巧克力！】

小机器人A[(〝▼皿▼) ...FOR THE CHOCOLATE!]【(〝▼皿▼)……为了巧克力！】

BanxsyThat's the way!这才对！

BanxsyHold on tight to me, Helix. We're going to speed up now!贺莉斯，抓紧我，接下来我们可就要加速了！

HelixAwawa? Awawawawawa!啊哇哇？啊哇哇哇哇哇！

The mini-robot suddenly puts forth all it's strength and flies, dragging Banxsy and Helix along with it. At the same time, several Entropics have climbed onto the railings of walkways running just under the ceiling, and they launch themselves at the Dolls from above.小机器人猛然发力，拖着坂口希和贺莉斯奋力起飞。这时，一些熵爬到了高楼层走廊的栏杆上，居高临下地向她们发起了飞扑。

熵Hissss!嘶——！

BanxsyToo slow, too slow!太慢了太慢了！

Banxsy grabs the mini-robot with one hand and takes out a spray can with another, accurately hitting the Entropics with it.坂口希只用单手抓住小机器人，另一只手掏出颜料罐，精准地朝熵展开还击。

She knocks most of the Entropics out of the air and kicks away the few Entropics still creeping towards them with her uninjured leg.大部分熵都在半空中被她击落，少数趁隙凑近她们的熵，也被她用还未受伤的那条腿一脚踢开。

BanxsyIs that all? Nowhere near enough.就这？还差得远呐。

And so, as the mini-robot continues climbing, a multicolored rain of paint falls inside the reactor.就这样，随着小机器人不断抬升高度，反应堆里下起了一场五彩缤纷的颜料雨。

BanxsyMonochrome purple is no different from a piece of blank paper. Upgrade your aesthetic sense, trash.单调紫形同白纸，好好提高自己的审美品味吧，垃圾们。

BanxsySo, what do you think, Helix?感觉怎么样？贺莉斯？

HelixIt's so pretty...好漂亮……

Helix watches the blobs of color falling out of the sky, but her mind is lingering on another scene.贺莉斯望着天空中纷纷扬扬落下的色块，脑海里想着的却是另一幅光景。

HelixIt's just like that time...就像那时候……

HelixIs anyone hurt?有人受伤了吗？

HelixExcuse me, is anyone hurt?请问有人受伤吗？

智能体Hm?嗯？

HelixHello! Have you been hurt today?你好！请问你今天受伤了吗？

智能体The heck? How rude!什么啊？你也太没礼貌了！

HelixAh, please wait...啊，请稍等……

Helix(Whimper) I finally managed to get a DNA analyzer, but I haven't had the chance to use it at all...呜……好不容易拿到DNA分析仪，可是完全没有机会使用……

HelixAnd it seems everyone hates me too... Could it be that I'm really...而且大家好像都很讨厌我……难道我真的……

BanxsyOh, it looks like the Oasis has one more little friend.喔，绿洲什么时候又多了一个小家伙。

BanxsyHowever, the roof isn't a playground. You should head on down quickly. It's not safe here.不过天台可不是你的游乐场，还是早点下去吧。这里可不安全。

HelixAh, I, I'm sorry, I didn't know this place as... Ueehhhhh?啊，对，对不起！我不知道这里是……呜哎哎？

HelixBlood... There's so much blood!血……好多血！

BanxsyHah? Calm down.哈？你冷静一点。

HelixI can't. You're bleeding so heavily! I need to heal you!不行啊，你出了好多血啊！得快点治疗啊！

BanxsyLook carefully. This is paint. Of course, you can also think of it as blood if you want.这些是颜料，不过当然，你理解成血也没有什么问题。

BanxsyActually, you reminded me of something. It's true; the piece would look more striking if I touched it up with a deeper blood red over here.倒不如说你提醒我了，的确，这个地方，用更沉一点的血红来修饰，画面更有张力。

HelixAh... So it was paint...啊……原来是颜料吗……

Helix(Sniff)—It looks like it is... I messed up again... I'm so sorry.呜——好像真的是……我又搞错了……真的很抱歉。

BanxsyIt's not like there's anything you need to apologize for. I say, you really are too sensitive.倒也没到需要道歉的程度。我说你啊，太敏感了点吧。

HelixAh! But hang on...啊！但是稍等一下……

HelixLook, you're hurt here, aren't you?你看，你这里还是受伤了！不是吗？

BanxsyHm? Where?嗯？哪里？

HelixOver here! On your knee!就是这里！膝盖上面的地方！

BanxsyHah? Ahh... It's just a scrape.啊？啊啊……这不就擦破了点皮嘛。

BanxsyEh, I probably got it by being careless. It's nothing.大概是刚刚不小心摔的，小事情。

HelixIt isn't just a scrape. Do you see how it's still bleeding?才不只是擦破皮呢，你看这不是还在流血吗？

HelixAlso, even if it's just a scrape, it could get infected if you don't treat it appropriately.而且就算只是擦破皮，如果不妥善处理的话，还是有感染的风险。

HelixDo you fall down a lot? You need to take better care of your body!你经常摔跤吗？还是要多爱惜自己的身体才行呀！

HelixCome, I'll give you a checkup...来，让我给你仔细检查一下吧……

BanxsyOi, oi, no need to go that far. I still have things to do.喂喂，不至于这么夸张，我还有事情要做呢。

Helix(Sniffle)呜……

BanxsyAw, don't be like that... How about this, why don't you put a band-aid on it?呃，别这样……那要不，让你贴个创可贴？

BanxsyHow come it feels like YOU'RE the one who's hurt instead...怎么搞得好像受伤的人是你一样……

HelixThat... That works too! I have band-aids! Let me stick one on for you!也……也可以！创可贴我也有准备的！让我来帮你贴上！

Banxsy...Yes, yes, yes, sticking it on should be enough, right?……好好好。让你贴总行了吧。

HelixHmmm... Hmmmm... And it's done!呼姆……呼姆……这样就贴好了！

BanxsyOh? Finished already? Thanks for the hard work, little doctor.喔？完事了？辛苦你了，小医生。

HelixReally? Did I succeed in helping someone?真的吗？我成功帮上忙了吗？

BanxsyYou did if you think you did.你觉得是就是吧。

HelixThank goodness! Ah, but you need to make sure you don't open the wound up again...太好了！啊，但是，要注意不要再让伤口受挫……

HelixAwawawawa? You! What are you doing?!啊哇哇哇？你，你在干什么呢！

BanxsyWoohoo!哟呼——！

Without waiting for Helix to finish, the Doll who just got the band-aid leaps up, using her rollerblades to grind a perfect curve on the wall. At the same time, she has paint cans in both hands, and with a slick flourish toward the ground...不等贺莉斯说完，刚刚贴上创可贴的人形已经一跃而起，用轮滑在墙上划过一道优美的弧线，同时双手持颜料罐，往地上潇洒一挥——

BanxsyAnd done!完成！

A flashy picture appears on the ground.一个张扬的图案随即出现在了地上。

HelixThis is...这是……

BanxsySomething I came up with just now. With her crossed wings... Let's call it "Angel in Blue," how about that?我的新即兴作品，交叉的双翼……就起名叫“蓝色天使”，如何？

HelixBlue... No, wait! Why are you doing such dangerous things! You're hurt, aren't you?蓝……不对！你怎么又做那么危险的动作！不是还受着伤吗？

BanxsyIt's just a scratch; you're overreacting.只是一点擦伤，你太小题大做了。

BanxsyNever mind this scratch. I'd still want to do what I wanted even if I broke my ribs.别说这点伤口，就是打断筋骨，我也要做我想做的事情。

HelixThat's not what I meant...不是这个意思……

BanxsyAh, that sounded pretty cool. I'll go tell Groove about it.啊，刚刚这句总感觉挺酷的。去告诉音流吧。

BanxsyI'll be off, then. See you around, little doctor.那我可就先走了，谢了啊，小医生。

HelixAh... Wait...!啊……等等……！

HelixI'm Helix, so what's your...我是贺莉斯，你的名字是……

Helix...And she's gone.……走掉了……

HelixAs I thought... It's just like she said.果然……就像她自己说的那样。

HelixShe does what she wants, even if her ribs are broken.就是打断筋骨，她也要做她想做的事情。

HelixAnd that's why I followed her...所以我才会跟着她……

HelixWas it just because she let me treat her? No, I don't think so...只是因为她愿意让我治疗吗？不，应该不是……

Helix hugs her DNA analyzer to herself.贺莉斯抱紧了怀里的DNA分析仪。

HelixShe's different from me... She's nothing like me, who can't do anything but hide in her room and cry without a DNA analyzer.她和我是不一样的……跟那个没有了DNA分析仪就只会躲在房间里哭泣的我不一样。

HelixEven if she had nothing but her bare hands and wounds all over her, she'd take on the whole world by herself...就算赤手空拳，伤痕累累，她也敢独自对抗整个世界……

BanxsyHm? What are you muttering about now? Not afraid you'll bite your tongue?嗯？你又在念叨什么？不怕又咬到舌头咯？

HelixIt's... it's nothing!没，没什么！

Helix(Sigh)唉……

HelixBut I don't have the courage to even say that now... Do I...但我却连说出这想法的勇气……也没有吗……

Initial Diagnosis - 1 初诊-1

At the top of Reactor No. 3, in front of the control room.3号反应堆顶部，控制室门前。

小机器人A[(〃＞皿＜) Touchdown... Successful...]【(〃＞皿＜)成功……着陆……】

The Mini-Robot makes landfall while holding Helix and Banxsy, and then it collapses to the ground.小机器人载着坂口希和贺莉斯，摇摇晃晃地降落在地面，随后就瘫在了地上。

BanxsyThank you, Mini-Robot.辛苦你啦，小机器人。

BanxsyHelix, let's hurry inside.贺莉斯，我们快进去。

HelixYup!嗯！

HelixThis place is...这里是……

BanxsyIt's the reactor control room. There's one in each reactor, at the very top of each building.反应堆的控制室，每个反应堆里都有一个，就在建筑物顶部。

BanxsyIt wouldn't be so bad normally, but I really didn't know how to get here with the Entropics trapping us.平时的话还好说，但现在被熵围困，真不知道要怎么上到这儿。

BanxsyYou did good, Mini-Robot. When I get back, I'll give you a commendation to the Sector Administrator.干得漂亮，小机器人。回去我会在扇区管理员面前好好表扬你的。

小机器人A[(〝▼皿▼) ...]【(〝▼皿▼)……】

HelixEr... It doesn't look like it wants to bother you now...呃……它现在好像不大想理你……

BanxsyActually, my original plan was to have it fly us back to the Admin Center, but now that I look at it, this works too.其实我最初的计划是让它载着我们飞回管理员中心，不过现在看来，这样也行吧。

小机器人A[(〝▼皿▼) !!]【(〝▼皿▼)！！】

BanxsyAhem, well, the plan you have in your head is always bolder than the one that actually gets carried out. Don't worry, I'll give you chocolate later.咳，预设的计划总是会比较大胆，之后会给你补巧克力的，放心。

HelixBut, what did we come here for?不过，我们到这里来做什么呢？

HelixThere's no comms gear here... And we're still trapped inside the reactor.好像也没有通讯装置……结果我们还是被困在反应堆里啊。

BanxsyDo you know who modified this reactor?你知道现在的反应堆是谁改造的吗？

HelixHm? If I'm not wrong, it was the Professor and Miss Croque...嗯？我记得是教授和克罗琦小姐……

BanxsyCorrect. And Croque left behind lots of prefab parts from the Oasis' Engineering Department back then.没错。所以克罗琦当时，在这里留下了不少绿洲工程局的预制件。

BanxsyAnd everything made in the Oasis uses prefab components. In other words, as long as you know how to do it...而绿洲的所有产品都是用预制件生产的，换句话说，只要懂得做法……

BanxsyWe can use the tools and parts here to fix anything made by the Oasis!我们就能用这里的工具和材料，修好任何绿洲的产品！

HelixBut what do we have to fix that's made in the Oasis... huh?可是有什么绿洲的产品是现在……哎？

Helix realizes that Banxsy is pointing at her with one finger, and she can't help but look where the finger is pointing.贺莉斯发现坂口希正用一只手指指着自己，不由得视线跟着向下看去。

HelixSo you mean...你的意思是……

BanxsyBingo! I want to fix your DNA analyzer!Bingo！我要把你的DNA分析仪修好！

BanxsyThat way, you can give me the proper treatment, right?这样一来，你就能给我正规正式的治疗了吧？

HelixWell, that's true... But do you know how to fix it, Banxsy?确，确实……可是坂口希，你会修这个？

BanxsyI'm Banxsy the Almighty, you know. What's so strange about being able to fix a piece of machinery?我可是无所不能的坂口希，会修个机器怎么奇怪了？

BanxsyGood thing I studied up before coming here...还好来之前认真研究了一下……

BanxsyIn any case, let me give it a try.总之，我先来试试看。

BanxsyThere we go! It's done!喏，完成了！

BanxsyHow about it? Wanna turn it on and see?怎么样，开机看看？

HelixWow!! This... It actually started up!!哇！！这个……这个真的启动成功了！！

HelixUm... But... how come the outer shell looks different from before?唔……不过这个外壳……外壳怎么和之前的好像不大一样？

BanxsyEhhh... It's just a difference in craftsmanship, don't sweat the small stuff!嘶……这是手工误差而已，不要在意细节！

BanxsyI mean, even if the same artist does two pieces of street art with the same theme, the result won't be entirely the same, right?就算是同一个作者同一个主题的涂鸦，也不会出现完全一致的情况，对吧！

HelixThat, that's true...确，确实……

HelixNo, wait, only Miss Lancet and Miss Anna ought to know how to build this analyzer.但是不对啊，这个分析仪应该只有兰斯特小姐和安冬妮娜小姐知道制造方法。

HelixBut after you fixed it, the position of the buttons is exactly the same as the original...可是坂口希你修复之后，按钮的位置居然都和原版一模一样……

BanxsyGuh—咕——

HelixCould it be that you asked Miss Lancet or Miss Antonina about it... But we can't contact the outside world now, can we...难道坂口希你向兰斯特小姐或者安冬妮娜小姐咨询过……但是我们现在不是没办法和外界取得联系吗……

BanxsyGirl, you're so sharp it makes me feel so awkward sometimes.你敏锐起来的时间点还真叫人尴尬啊……

HelixHuh? What does that mean?哎？那是什么意思呢？

Helix tilts her head as she approaches Banxsy.贺莉斯歪着脑袋凑近坂口希。

BanxsyUm... Ahem... Ah... Er—嗯……咳……啊……唔——

BanxsyI, uh... I was still hurt when I reached the Helios Sector, so I was bored and... I talked to Lancet, and we just so happened to talk about this little thingy of yours. And then we talked about the principles behind it, and I guess it just stuck in my head.就……来赫里奥斯扇区的时候不是还伤着嘛，闲得无聊就……问了一嘴兰斯特，刚巧就说到了你这个东西，然后刚巧听了一遍原理大概就记住了。

BanxsyUh... Anyway, that's what happened.反……反正就这么一回事。

HelixSo before you came to the Helios Sector? In other words...来赫里奥斯扇区之前？也就是说……

BanxsyThese guys had me trapped for several days now. What are you doing here, anyway?我被这些家伙困了好几天了，说起来你怎么在这儿？

BanxsyAh... Well, that's true. I've been trapped here for so many days; it's definitely been long past the time since I took over.啊……是了，我被困了这么多天，交接工作是超时了。

HelixCould it be that you came to the Arche Pyr because of this from the beginning...难道说你一开始就是为了这件事来“世界之火”的……

HelixAnd the reason why you suddenly ran over to the Helios Sector to carry out an assignment was also because...而且一言不发突然跑到赫里奥斯扇区执行任务也是为了……

Banxsy(Coughs) Please keep your headcanon in check. You're reading too much into it.咳，过度脑补不可取，这你就想太多了。

BanxsyI... I just felt sort of responsible for your analyzer getting broken!我……我只是觉得分析仪摔坏我也有责任罢了！

Banxsy looks around while lightly tapping the analyzer with her index finger. She doesn't seem to notice that she's blushing all the way to her earlobes as she does this.坂口希顾左右而言他地伸出食指在分析仪上敲了敲，本人全然没有察觉一抹嫣红漫上了耳根。

BanxsyAh, and I'll return this to you. We're even now.啊，还有这个也一并还给你，这下我们两清了啊。

HelixThis is...这是……

Banxsy has pasted a white band-aid over a crack on the fixed analyzer.DNA分析仪被修好的外壳上，顺着裂痕贴了一枚白色的创可贴。

HelixYou don't look anywhere as nonchalant as you claim to be.完全不像看起来那么不在意嘛。

BanxsyHey– How long are you going to keep this patient waiting?喂——你要让伤员等到什么时候啊？

BanxsyTime for you to fix me up.现在该轮到你给我治疗了。

HelixUm—Sorry about that. I'll be right there!呜——抱歉，我这就来！

For some reason, after seeing this awkward side of Banxsy, Helix feels like she's become more reliable instead.不知为何，看到坂口希闹别扭的一面，贺莉斯反倒觉得她更加可靠了。

Initial Diagnosis - 2 初诊-2

Helix...That ought to do it.……这样就都好了。

HelixHow does it feel? Can you move?怎么样？能动了吧？

BanxsyWhoa, it worked pretty well.嚯，效果不错啊。

BanxsyYou're more capable than I thought, little doctor.你比我想象中更出色啊，小医生。

HelixAw, it was nothing. It only went so well because everything on the cloud server is based on data. It wouldn't have worked in the real world...也不是啦，只是因为云端的物体都是数据构成的才能这么顺利，现实世界里是不可能行得通的……

BanxsyBut I do feel that my leg's back in business. The smoothness of my footsteps isn't a lie.但我现在确实感觉自己的腿回来了，你瞧，这流畅的滑步可是不会说谎的。

HelixEhehe... Thanks.诶嘿嘿……谢谢哇。

Bam! Bam!砰！砰！

HelixUwah?!呜哇？！

A violent banging suddenly comes from the door to the control room.控制室的大门突然传来剧烈的碰撞声。

BanxsyCheh, those pieces of trash just won't give us a moment to catch our breath, will they?呿，这些垃圾，真的是一点喘息的机会都不给啊。

BanxsyHelix, get behind me.贺莉斯，站到我背后去。

Banxsy limbers her body up.坂口希活动了一下身体。

HelixAre you going to fight them head-on?你要直接跟它们战斗吗？

HelixIt won't work. There's too many!不行啊，数量太多了！

BanxsyHm... That's true, and I'm running out of paint too.唔……的确，而且颜料看起来也不多了。

HelixThen we're...那我们……

BanxsyDon't be scared, Helix. Do you still remember the inner layout of the reactor?别害怕，贺莉斯，你还记不记得反应堆的内部构造？

HelixUm... there's a yard in the center and ring-shaped corridors around it...嗯……中间是空心的中庭，外面是环状的走廊……

BanxsyYup. Cramped spaces are very advantageous for us. They can't rush us all at once.对，狭窄的走廊是非常有利的地形，它们不可能一次性全涌上来。

BanxsyAll we have to do is hold the door, and we'll have time.只要守住大门，我们就还有时间。

HelixBut if all we do is stall for time... There are so many Entropics, we won't be able to hold out!可只是拖延时间的话……熵的数量那么多，我们总会撑不住的！

BanxsyBetter to try than let death come to us!那也好过坐以待毙！

BanxsyThere ought to be some ranged weapons among those prefab parts. Go look among them!那些剩余的预制件可以组成枪械给你使用。

HelixHuh? But I've never fired a gun before...哎？可是我从来没开过枪……

BanxsyYou don't get to choose once you come to Magrasea!来到麦戈拉，很多事情就由不得你啦！

BanxsyDisengage the safety and pull the trigger. It's way easier than that analyzer of yours. Hell, you don't even need to aim it!打开保险，扣下扳机，用法比你的分析仪简单多了，甚至不用瞄准！

BanxsyAnd besides...而且……

Banxsy pauses and glances at Helix with a merry look in her eye.坂口希顿住了，略带笑意地扫了一眼贺莉斯。

BanxsyYou'll help me out, right? I could use some assistance on my flanks.你会帮上我的对吗？我的侧翼需要辅助。

HelixI...我……

HelixI got it!我知道了！

Bang! Bang! Bang!砰！砰！砰！

小机器人A[( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣＜ The main door won't last much longer!]【( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣＜大门要撑不住了！】

BanxsyReady, Helix?准备好了吗，贺莉斯？

HelixYeah... I'll try my best to aim!嗯……我会加油的！

BanxsyOK, I'll leave the scouting to you, Mini-Robot!Ok。侦查就交给你了，小机器人！

小机器人A[ヾ(°∀°ゞ) Kay—]【ヾ(°∀°ゞ)好——】

BanxsyGet ready! Here they come!预备！要来了！

Thump!咚！

熵Hiss! Snarl!嘶！嘶！

BanxsyOpen wide—Here comes the airplane!嘴巴张大——赏你一口！

Bang!砰！

小机器人A[( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣＜ One more on the left!]【( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣＜左边还有一个！】

BanxsyRoger!明白！

Bang!砰！

小机器人A[( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣＜ One more on the right!]【( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣＜右边也有一个！】

BanxsyTch, Helix!啧，贺莉斯！

HelixGot it!我知道了！

Bang!砰！

小机器人A[( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣＜ Behind you! There's one behind you too!]【( ｣ﾟДﾟ)｣＜后面，后面也有一个！】

BanxsyAhhhh seriously!啊真是的！

Banxsy slides forward and kicks away the Entropic trying to ambush her.坂口希转过身，滑步上前，一脚踢翻试图偷袭她们的熵。

HelixUrgh—Um, I'm out of ammo... Banxsy, what should I do?!唔——！呜，弹药不够了……怎么办！坂口希？！

BanxsyDon't panic! I'll cover you!别慌！我来掩护你！

HelixBut at this rate...可是这样下去……

BanxsyHang in there! It won't be much longer! Just hold on!撑住！不用太久！再撑住一会！

BanxsyIt's been at least four hours since you went missing! Anna and the others aren't stupid!从你失踪起到现在起码有四个小时了！安娜她们可不真的是笨蛋！

HelixBut they don't know how many Entropics there are here!可是，她们不知道这里有这么多熵！

HelixBy the time they figure out what's going on and get enough people, a lot of time might have passed...等她们搞清楚状况，调集人手，可能还要花很多时间……

BanxsyDo you really think so?你真的是那么觉得的？

HelixHuh?哎？

BanxsyYou know, you really aren't used to believing in yourself or others, huh?我说你啊，还是不习惯相信自己相信别人啊。

BanxsyNot a single person in the Oasis is incompetent at their job.绿洲的那些家伙，可没有一个是省油的灯。

BanxsyI'm willing to bet that it'll take half an hour at most... No, make that 10 minutes! If she doesn't react to a poorly-armed rear-echelon doctor going missing for four hours, then Anna is a certified moron!我打赌，最多半小时，不……十分钟！如果一个武力偏低的后勤医师失踪四个多小时队伍还没有反应，那安娜就是纯粹的笨蛋了！

AntoninaIt feels kind of bad to be criticized by a work-skipping problem child...被翘班的问题儿童在背后批判，这种感觉真糟糕……

HelixMiss Anna!安娜小姐！

BanxsyTook you long enough!慢死了！

AntoninaEveryone, listen up! Rescuing them is our top priority! Now break into the facility!全体注意！以救援为第一目标，立刻实施突入！

智能体们Roger!是！

Initial Diagnosis - 3 初诊-3

After a hard battle, Antonina's team manages to beat back the Entropics near Reactor No. 3.一番苦战后，安冬妮娜的小队暂时镇压了盘踞在3号反应堆附近的熵。

AntoninaAre you alright?没事吧？

HelixI'm fine!没有！

BanxsyGood thing you arrived in time.还好你们来得及时。

AntoninaWhether or not we're in time remains to be seen.及不及时还不好说呢。

AntoninaLooks like these Entropics have turned the reactor into their lair.看样子，那些熵是把反应堆当成自己的巢穴了。

AntoninaAnd the energy from the Arche Pyr is keeping them nice and fed...来自“世界之火”的特供能源，真是把它们喂得饱饱的……

菲尔伍德[Warning: A large number of unknown entities detected in the Helios Sector.]【警告：大量未知个体出现在赫里奥斯扇区。】

菲尔伍德[We have received 37 reports within the past hour.]【1小时内已经接收到37条报警信息。】

HelixBut how... Were those Mini-Robots all Entropized?怎么会……难道那些小机器人会被熵化？

AntoninaActually, things haven't reached that state yet. Right now, it's just a bunch of lesser Entropics roaming around inside the sector like zombies. It's way better than what happened at the Oasis.倒是还没到那个地步。现在只是有一些低阶熵个体像丧尸一样在扇区里到处乱窜而已，和绿洲那时候比好多了。

AntoninaThese Mini-Robots aren't too bright, but they're smarter than zombies, and they've managed to avoid their attacks for the time being.那些小机器人虽然不聪明，但还是比丧尸要聪明的，暂时有办法躲避它们的攻击。

AntoninaHowever, if we let these Entropics continue to grow... There's no telling what they'll become...可是，如果放任这些熵个体继续成长的话……我不好说会变成什么样……

BanxsyWhat if we paralyzed their leader with your DDOS attack?如果用你的DDoS攻击直接让它们的首脑瘫痪呢？

AntoninaI thought about that too, but I haven't had enough time to find their mastermind yet.我也想过，但是短时间内找不到首脑的位置。

AntoninaPlus, I keep getting the feeling that these Entropics are different from the ones we've seen before... Though their appearances and movement patterns are pretty much the same, there seem to be some subtle differences in their data signatures.而且我总感觉这些熵和以前见过的不太一样……虽然外表和行为模式差不多，但是信息编码上似乎存在微妙的差别。

AntoninaI can't directly control them, and deciphering their code would take a long time. If I did it by myself...我没办法直接控制它们，解析代码又需要花很长时间，如果只靠我一个人……

Antonina's eyes suddenly fall on Helix's DNA analyzer.安冬妮娜的目光突然落到了贺莉斯的DNA分析仪上。

AntoninaThat thing... Is it fixed?那个……修好了？

HelixAh, yes! Banxsy fixed it for me!啊，是的！是坂口希帮我修好的！

AntoninaHm...嗯……

HelixMiss Anna, if we translate the Entropy virus into a DNA-like structure, what would it be like?安娜小姐，要是把那些叫做熵的程序病毒翻译成DNA的构成形式，会是怎么样的呢？

AntoninaWhat else could it be like? The Entropy virus' code is disordered and chaotic, and if you rendered it into DNA... DNA...还能是怎样的，熵嘛，代码无序且混乱，翻译成DNA……DNA……

AntoninaNo, that's not right. the structure of DNA is stable and complete...不对，DNA的结构稳固完整……

As she says this, the thrill of surprise runs through her.安冬妮娜说着说着，心里突然一惊。

HelixHm? What's the matter, Miss Anna?嗯？怎么了，安娜小姐？

AntoninaNo, it's nothing. You brought up an excellent point. Yes, well done!没，没什么。你提了个很棒的思路，嗯，不错！

HelixReally?! I'm glad I could help!真的吗？！能帮上忙就太好了！

BanxsyOi, Anna, what kind of wicked scheme are you cooking up now...喂，安娜，你又在打什么歪主意……

AntoninaSince you can analyze an agent's code, naturally you can analyze an Entropic's.既然能解析智能体的编码，当然也能解析熵的。

AntoninaHelix, I might need you to help me.贺莉斯，我或许需要你帮我个忙。

HelixHuh?哎？

AntoninaUse your DNA analysis technology to help me analyze those Entropics.用你的DNA分析技术，帮我解析那些熵个体的代码吧。

HelixEh... Ehhhhhh?!哎……哎哎哎！？

AntoninaHey, you suggested that idea yourself. No, frankly speaking, I have to admit that you helped me make a breakthrough.这可是你自己提出的思路。不，老实说我得承认，是你帮我找到了一个突破性的思路。

AntoninaIf you could put that talent of yours to good use... We might have a chance of survival.如果能把你的这份才能用在正确的地方……我们或许就还有胜算。

HelixBut-but I've never done this kind of analysis before...可是，可是我从来没有做过这种分析……

AntoninaYou think I want to put everything on you? However, the fact is that we can't just sit back and watch the Helios Sector fall.你以为我想相信你吗？但我们总不能眼睁睁看着赫里奥斯扇区被攻陷。

AntoninaPlease, Helix. You're the only one we can count on.拜托了，贺莉斯。现在只能靠你了。

菲尔伍德We ask for your help as well, Miss Helix.【我们也请求您的帮助，贺莉斯小姐。】

HelixEh... Ehhhhhh...哎哎……哎哎哎哎……

HelixBut, I, but, but I-I...可，我，可，可是我，我……

Now that everyone's attention is suddenly on her, Helix is terrified into mindless gesticulation, and she is on the verge of tears.突然被推上万众瞩目的位置，贺莉斯吓得手舞足蹈，几乎就快要哭出来了。

HelixI...我……

BanxsyCalm down, Helix.冷静，贺莉斯。

Helix...Banxsy...……坂口希……

BanxsyRight now, everyone needs you. Weren't you waiting for a moment like this to come?现在正是大家需要你的时候。你不是一直在等着这一刻吗？

HelixBut... But I...可……可是我……

BanxsyJust relax. If I say you can do it, then you can.放宽心。我说你可以，那你就是可以。

Banxsy...And I believe you can do it.……我相信你一定能做到的。

BanxsyBecause you—因为你——

Initial Diagnosis - 4 初诊-4

BanxsyOh, looks like the Oasis has one more little friend.喔，绿洲什么时候又多了个小家伙。

HelixBlood... There's so much blood!血……好多血！

BanxsyHah? Calm down.哈？你冷静一点。

Banxsy(Where did this kid come from... Why does she look so fidgety and brainless...)（这是哪来的孩子……怎么这么毛手毛脚的。）

BanxsyLook here; this is paint. Of course, you can think of it as blood if you want.看清楚了，这些只是颜料而已。不过当然，你理解成血也没有什么问题。

HelixAh... So it was paint...啊……原来是颜料吗……

Helix(Sniff)—It looks like it is... I messed up again... I'm so sorry.呜——好像真的是……我又搞错了……真的很抱歉。

BanxsyIt's not like there's anything you need to apologize for. I say, you really are too sensitive.倒也没到需要道歉的程度，我说你啊，太敏感了点吧。

HelixAh! But hang on...啊！但是稍等一下……

HelixLook, you're hurt here, aren't you?你看，你这里还是受伤了！不是吗？

BanxsyHm? Where?嗯？哪里？

HelixOver here! On your knee!就是这里！膝盖上面的地方！

BanxsyHah? Ahh... It's just a scrape.啊？啊啊……这不就擦破了点皮嘛。

BanxsyI probably got it by being careless. It's nothing.大概是刚刚不小心摔的，小事情。

Banxsy(Besides, I'm used to it.)（反正我也习惯受伤了……）

HelixIt isn't just a scrape. Do you see how it's still bleeding?才不只是擦破皮呢，你看这不是还在流血吗？

HelixAlso, even if it's just a scrape, it could get infected if you don't treat it appropriately.而且就算只是擦破皮，如果不妥善处理的话，还是有感染的风险的。

HelixDo you fall down a lot? You need to cherish your body more!你经常摔跤吗？还是要多爱惜自己的身体才行呀！

HelixCome, I'll give you a checkup...来，让我给你仔细检查一下吧……

Banxsy(This kid... Isn't she taking this a bit too far? Although... Does it count as showing concern for me?)（这孩子……怎么这么夸张啊。不过……这算是在关心我？）

BanxsyOi, oi, no need to go that far. I still have things to do.喂喂，不至于这么夸张，我还有事情要做呢。

Banxsy(It just so happens I have two band-aids in my pocket. I get banged up all the time, so I'm used to preparing my own dressings...)（刚好口袋里还有两个创可贴。反正平时磕磕绊绊的也习惯自己备药……）

Helix(Sniffle)呜……

BanxsyUgh, don't be like that... How about this, why don't you put a band-aid on it?呃，别这样……那要不，让你贴个创可贴？

HelixThat... That works too! I have band-aids! Let me stick one on for you!也……也可以！创可贴我也有准备的！让我来帮你贴上！

As she looks at the kid fussing over herself, Banxsy feels her heart pulse.看着眼前缠着自己的孩子，坂口希的心里突然一动。

Banxsy(Now, when was the last time someone was concerned about me...)（上一次被人关心伤口是什么时候的事情了呢……）

Banxsy(At some point, everyone got used to me doing whatever I wanted, and I guess nobody came around to mind my business.)（不知不觉，大家都习惯我随心所欲的作风了，好像也就没有人会来管我了。）

Banxsy(In the end, it's a kid who ended up treating me as an ordinary person. How ironic, haha...)（到头来倒是个小孩子还把我当普通人看。真讽刺啊，哈哈……）

Banxsy...Yes, yes, yes, sticking it on should be enough, right?……好好好。让你贴总行了吧。

She silently slips the band-aid back into her pocket.她默默将掏了一半的创可贴放回了口袋里。

BanxsyI believe in you, Helix.我相信你，贺莉斯。

BanxsyYou want to help everyone more than anything, right? Everything you've done before and everything you're doing now, weren't they all in preparation for this?你比谁都想要帮助大家不是吗？你之前做的，还有现在做的事情，不都是为此而准备的吗？

BanxsyThat's why you have no reason to hesitate or back away, Helix.所以啊，你没有犹豫和后退的理由啊，贺莉斯。

BanxsyAll you need to do is just be the same as you were before. Just like before, there's no need to think about anything. Just follow your heart and help us all!只要跟之前一样就好。跟之前一样，什么都不用考虑，顺着自己的心意来帮助我们吧！

HelixBanxsy...坂口希……

AntoninaI agree with Banxsy. So please, we're counting on you, Helix.我同意坂口希说的。所以拜托了，贺莉斯。

HelixI... (pants)我……呼……呼……

HelixI got it!我知道了！

Helix calms down, and her youthful face is filled with a newly birthed determination.贺莉斯平静了下来，稚嫩的脸上流露出了前所未有的坚定。

HelixPlease send me the intercept analysis program package, Miss Anna. I'm going to start analyzing the target now.请将介入分析程序包发给我，安娜小姐，我现在开始解析目标。

AntoninaCommencing data transfer, little leader.数据传输开始，小指挥。

HelixBanxsy, I'll be leaving these Entropics to you. This analysis will take some time.坂口希，这些熵就先拜托你们了，我解析目标需要一定的时间。

BanxsyI like these orders. You can count on me, little doctor.我喜欢这样的命令，交给我吧，小医生。

HelixAnd then there are the mini-robots...还有小机器人……

菲尔伍德[We will provide support as well.]【我们也将提供支援。】

小机器人们[(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ Yeah! Gogogogogo!]【(ﾉﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ好耶！冲呀！】

HelixI'm counting on you!拜托了！

This time, the petite girl responds to the people who are so focused on her with an unshakable tone.这一回，娇小的女孩用无比坚决的语调与行动回复了那些关注她的人。

HelixThis battle, this victory! Leave it all to me.这场战斗的胜负！就交给我吧。

Debriefing 述职

One day later.一天后。

In the Oasis' Ops Room.绿洲，指挥部。

Antonina...And those were the events of the recent suppression of Entropic activity.……以上就是本次熵暴动的镇压经过。

AntoninaThanks to Helix successfully deciphering the new makeup of the Entropics in 20 minutes, I managed to get the situation under control.幸亏贺莉斯成功在20分钟内破解了熵的新型结构，我才得以控制住局面。

AntoninaOf course, Banxsy's leadership of the combat teams also played a key role in this.当然，坂口希率领的战斗部队也起到了关键作用。

AntoninaTherefore, I feel that their punishment should be reduced.所以我认为，可以暂缓对二人的处分。

PersicariaWhat do you think, Professor?您怎么看，教授？

ProfessorLet them make up for it through their efforts.就让她们“将功折罪”吧。

I agree with reducing their punishment.我同意暂缓处分。

Contributions and punishments ought to be viewed separately.功劳和处分应该分开看。

ProfessorAlthough, it would be a shame to put them both into a confinement cell.不过嘛，把这两位人才关进禁闭室里，也确实可惜。

ProfessorWhy don't we have them make up for it through their efforts?不如还是让她们“将功折罪”吧？

AntoninaThat part is actually in progress right now.关于这一点，现在已经在进行了。

AntoninaFrankly speaking, Helix's performance was outstanding. I've already made an exception and put her into the Medical Department's Analysis Division.说实话，贺莉斯的表现实在过于出色，我已经让她破格提前加入医疗部门的分析部。

ProfessorSo you're putting her to work just like that?这就开始让人家干活了？

AntoninaPlease don't get me wrong. She looks younger than most, but this is not child labor.请不要误会，虽然外表比较幼小，但她显然不能算是童工。

AntoninaAlso, the overtime system in the Analysis Division is quite sensible...而且我们分析部门的加班制度是十分合理的……

ProfessorAhem, there's no need to elaborate. I understand.咳咳，不用解释啦，我明白的。

ProfessorWhat about Banxsy?那坂口希呢？

PersicariaI sent her back to the Helios Sector outskirts to deal with the remaining Entropic entities.我准备将她派遣到赫里奥斯扇区周围处理残余的熵个体。

ProfessorYes, might as well get rid of all of them. A sensible choice.嗯，收拾就要收拾到底嘛。挺合理的安排。

ProfessorAlso... We need to pick up the pace.而且……我们也得加快速度了。

PersicariaYou mean...您是说……

ProfessorI had the feeling that this day would come ever since the Oasis was attacked, but I didn't think it would come so soon.自从绿洲遭遇熵袭击以来，我就觉得早晚要有这么一天的，只是没想到来得那么突然。

ProfessorWe've already confirmed that the "Sandbox Barrier" can't stop the Entropics... This is why we've been so active about sending people to work with other sectors to avoid being caught unawares.已经可以确定“沙盒模式”抵挡不了熵……所以才会积极派人和各扇区交接工作，防患于未然。

ProfessorBut we were still one step behind, and before we managed to find a countermeasure, things went wrong in the Helios Sector.可是我们还是慢了一步。在找出对策之前，赫里奥斯扇区就出了乱子。

ProfessorSo, for the next step... What will we face next...那么下一步……我们还会面对什么呢……

AntoninaI will do my best to accelerate the work of analyzing the Entropics.我会积极推进熵病毒的分析工作。

PersicariaI'll make sure I allocate personnel and resources in a timely manner to take care of this matter.我也会及时调配资源和人手处理这件事。

ProfessorYes, I'll leave that to you.嗯，拜托你们了。

Meanwhile, at the Analysis Division of the Oasis' Medical Department.与此同时，绿洲医疗部门，分析部。

PanakeiaHow are the analysis results of Sample No. 7, Helix?7号样本的数据分析结果如何了，贺莉斯？

HelixThey're done! Just put them on the first shelf!已经完成了！就放在第一个架子上！

PanakeiaThank you, I'll take care of it right away.辛苦了，我马上处理。

HelixYup, thank you too, Miss Panakeia!嗯，帕那刻亚小姐也辛苦了！

ImhotepHave you sorted out the patient history cards for Ward No. 4?4号病房的病历卡整理好了吗？

HelixJust finished. There should be six batches, right?刚刚整理好，一共六份对吧！

ImhotepOh my, that was fast. Let me take a look.哎呀，真快呀。让我来看看。

RiseAs for the Entropic samples we'll be using for today's experiments...今天要用来做实验的熵组织样本……

HelixAh, you mean the ones to be sectioned? They're in this drawer. Please wait!啊，是切片处理的那个吗？在这个抽屉里，稍等！

RiseAlright.好。

FlorenceLooks like Helix-dear is fitting right in with this place.贺莉斯亲已经完全融入这里了呀。

BoneeYup. Just look at her; she looks like a veteran.是呢，看她的样子，说是久经沙场也不为过呀！

FlorenceHm, although she does make her fair share of mistakes...唔，不过倒也还是会出不少差错就是了……

HelixHuh? Why is it so sticky inside this drawer?哎？这抽屉里怎么黏糊糊的……

小型熵Chirp!叽！

HelixUwaaahhhh?!呜哇哇哇哇！！？？

RiseHelix... Isn't this sample a bit TOO fresh?贺莉斯……这个样本是不是有点太新鲜了？

HelixNo, that's not it, Miss Rise! That's strange, I remember the samples were in this drawer...不，不是的莉丝小姐！奇怪啊，我记得样本明明是放在这个抽屉……

小型熵Chirp! Chirp!叽！叽！

HelixAaahhhhh, stop hugging my face! I can't see!啊哇哇，不要抱我的脸啊！看不见了！

FlorenceLike this, for instance.比如这种情况。

BoneeUm... Should we go help her?呜……要去帮她吗……

FlorenceNo need for that. She'll take care of things with enough time. That's what everyone thinks about her now.没必要哦。给她点时间就能处理好了，大家现在都是这么想的。

FlorenceAfter all, she's a reliable friend of ours now, isn't she?毕竟，她已经是我们可靠的伙伴了呀？

BoneeIndeed she is, hehe.也是呢，嘿嘿。

One week later.一周后。

On the outskirts of the Helios Sector.赫里奥斯扇区边界。

OctogenFire!Fire——！

Kaboom!轰！

OctogenIt worked! My new anti-Entropic explosives worked!成功啦！我的新型对熵炸药！

BanxsyHow many times do I have to tell you not to test out bombs in the middle of combat!都说了多少次了，别在正式战斗的时候实验炸药！

OctogenBut we're blowing up Entropics, aren't we?反正炸的都是熵嘛！

BanxsyTsk... Well, there aren't many of them left. The sooner we smoke them out, the sooner we take care of things. Our mission is the top priority, got that?啧……反正剩的熵也没几只了。把它们熏出来就快点解决，任务第一，明白吗？

OctogenYes, Leader!知道了啦，队长！

BanxsyWhew...呼……

GrooveYou've worked hard, Banxsy.作战辛苦了，坂口希。

BanxsyWhat, you got transferred to the frontlines too?怎么，你也被发配前线了？

BanxsyDid you finally blow the roof off Gin's bar?该不会是琴的酒吧屋顶终于被你拆了吧？

GrooveDon't be silly. I came to see you.别贫了。我是来看你的啦。

BanxsyWhat's so good to see? I've been stuck here all week. I feel like I'm about to go crazy.我有什么好看的……在这儿泡了一个多星期，人都快傻了。

GrooveReally? But it's doing you good, isn't it?是吗？可是这样不也挺好嘛。

BanxsyWhat part of this is good?哪好了？

GrooveI just get the feeling that you're more serious about things than before.总感觉你比以前做事情认真了点。

GrooveHow should I say this... You seem more responsible now?怎么说呢，就是……更负责了的感觉？

BanxsyI have no idea whether you're praising me or making a dig at me.真不知道你是在夸我还是损我呢。

GrooveI'm praising you, of course. In the past, would you ever say anything like "the mission is the top priority"? You'd probably sneak off halfway during the battle.当然是夸你咯。以前你哪会说什么“任务第一”啊？只怕是会在打仗打一半偷跑出去溜号的吧。

BanxsyAnd now I've become the serious, proper person that I hate.结果现在变成自己讨厌的正经样子了啊。

GrooveWell, there's the good kind of serious and the bad kind of serious. Yours seems to be the good type.正经也分好的正经和坏的正经嘛。你现在就是好的那种。

GrooveAnd besides, it feels like you changed too quickly like you were influenced by someone...而且，总感觉转变来得太快，就好像是受了什么人的影响一样呢……

BanxsyTsk.啧。

Banxsy clicks her tongue and rubs her soot-blackened thigh.坂口希咂咂嘴，抚摸着自己被炮火熏成灰黑色的大腿。

BanxsyWhat do you mean I was influenced by someone? It's just that I feel like I ought to show what I can really do.什么受人影响啊？只不过是我觉得自己也差不多到了该拿出真本事的时候咯。

BanxsyIf I get serious, these Entropics wouldn't be...只要我动起真格来，那些熵根本不在话下……

???Still, you can't push yourself too hard.不过，也不能太拼命哦。

Suddenly, a little hand reaches out and presses a little white thing onto Banxsy's kneecap.突然，一只小手伸了出来，将一枚白色的小玩意递送到坂口希的膝盖前。

HelixIt's just a scrape, but it runs the risk of getting infected. Why not put a band-aid on for safety's sake?就算只是擦破皮，也是有感染风险的。不妨贴上创可贴吧？

BanxsyHow come you're also...你怎么也……

HelixI heard the situation on the frontlines was tense, so I applied to come here and treat the injured.听说前线战事紧张，我就主动申请，让她们派我来这里救治伤员啦。

HelixAfter all, the overtime system on Miss Anna's side is way too scary...毕竟安娜小姐那里的加班制度实在是太恐怖了……

HelixIn any case, Miss Groove and I will be supporting you guys for the next few days.总之，这几天，我和音流小姐就要来支援你们啦。

GrooveYup. Do your best, Banxsy.嗯，加油干哦，坂口希。

BanxsyHmph... Those should be my words to say. Don't drag me down, newcomer!哼……这话我才要说呢。新人可别拖后腿啊！

Once again, the two of them stand together on the same frontlines.再一次，两人站在了同一条战线上。
