**[00:03] ---**
Hui-chieh.
**[00:05] ---**
Why?
**[00:07] ---**
Hui-chieh!
**[00:09] ---**
Hui-chieh!
**[00:09] ---**
Hui-chieh.
**[00:17] ---**
Your return gives me great peace of mind.
**[00:19] ---**
Mr. Patriot.
**[00:21] ---**
What happened?
**[00:24] ---**
W betrayed us.
**[00:26] ---**
You needn't worry. I've
already dealt with her.
**[00:30] ---**
I will take over the Sarkaz
mercenaries she was in charge of.
**[00:34] ---**
W...
**[00:36] ---**
Leader.
**[00:38] ---**
This core city, was activated.
Without my knowing. Why?
**[00:44] ---**
I apologize.
**[00:46] ---**
The situation was pressing.
There was no time to hesitate.
**[00:49] ---**
Talulah.
**[00:50] ---**
Many things, once started. Will not stop.
**[00:55] ---**
That's why I'm entrusting this key to you.
**[00:59] ---**
I want you to decide whether we should stop.
**[01:04] ---**
Understood.
**[01:06] ---**
No one. Can stop us.
**[01:09] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[01:12] ---**
FrostNova and the others
need our help in Lungmen.
**[01:14] ---**
Let's regroup with them.
**[01:17] ---**
Talulah.
**[01:19] ---**
All sins, no matter how great.
**[01:22] ---**
Must always come, to an end.
**[01:26] ---**
This, I firmly believe.
**[01:29] ---**
I share the same conviction.
**[01:32] ---**
Farewell, Leader.
**[01:37] ---**
It'll keep me safe?
**[01:39] ---**
This rock?
**[01:40] ---**
That's just a superstition... Fine, fine.
**[01:44] ---**
I'll hang onto it.
**[01:46] ---**
I'm obviously going to outlive you.
**[01:48] ---**
You should try to live a long,
fulfilling life yourself.
**[01:52] ---**
My talisman. It has broken.
**[01:56] ---**
Help, who?
**[01:59] ---**
End, what?
**[03:33] ---**
"The last Wendigo will die at the
hands of the Lord of Fiends?"
**[03:37] ---**
You know what I'm talking about, right?
**[03:39] ---**
Prophecies? You believe in such nonsense?
**[03:43] ---**
It's about her and the old fossil.
**[03:46] ---**
He's one of the last of an
ancient Sarkaz bloodline.
**[03:49] ---**
I remember him well, but I—
**[03:52] ---**
Please, Kal'tsit.
**[03:56] ---**
Very well.
**[03:57] ---**
You seem to have forgotten, Warfarin.
Thank—
**[03:58] ---**
You seem to have forgotten, Warfarin.
**[04:01] ---**
Do not speak of the "Lord
of Fiends" ever again.
**[04:06] ---**
Red, look after the place.
**[04:08] ---**
Okay.
**[04:13] ---**
Now that I know what Ch'en's put up with...
**[04:16] ---**
And what she's worked so hard
to protect, I get it now.
**[04:20] ---**
She feels the same way as we do.
**[04:23] ---**
I promised Ms. Fumizuki
that we'd bring her back.
**[04:27] ---**
Yeah, I made a promise, too.
**[04:31] ---**
That I'd save Talulah.
**[04:34] ---**
If there's anything I can do
to stop the birth of new sorrow in this land,
**[04:38] ---**
I will do it.
**[04:41] ---**
Let's stop this collision.
**[04:43] ---**
Yes!
**[04:45] ---**
*Good morning, everyone.*
**[04:47] ---**
*This is Amiya, leader of Rhodes Island.*
**[04:50] ---**
*I have some important information
to report to all our operators.*
**[04:53] ---**
As we announced last night,
squads consisting of specially
**[04:57] ---**
selected operators will
sortie to stop Reunion.
**[05:00] ---**
**This will undoubtedly be a tough battle,**
**[05:01] ---**
*and if we fail this mission,
a war will break out.**
**[05:06] ---**
**If that happens, no matter what conspiracy lies behind Reunion,**
**[05:10] ---**
*there will be only one truth
laid grimly at our feet.**
**[05:13] ---**
**"The Infected caused this war."**
**[05:16] ---**
**War... may sound like a concept that**
**[05:19] ---**
*has nothing to do
with a pharmaceutical company like us.**
**[05:22] ---**
**However, Rhodes Island
has already found itself**
**[05:24] ---**
*n the vortex of an invisible war.**
**[05:27] ---**
**Since our foundation, we have worked
to develop a cure for Oripathy.**
**[05:32] ---**
**However, there are also those
who continue to profit from and**
**[05:36] ---**
*exacerbate the antipathy between
Infected and non-Infected**
**[05:39] ---**
**At this point, our enemy is no
longer just Oripathy itself.**
**[05:42] ---**
**After a war between Ursus and Yan,**
**[05:45] ---**
*most likely all that awaits the
Infected is never-ending hatred.**
**[05:49] ---**
**In that future, when neither
Oripathy treatment nor coexistence**
**[05:52] ---**
*with the Infected are tolerated, Rhodes
Island will lose its very purpose.**
**[05:56] ---**
**We must succeed in this mission at all costs.**
**[05:59] ---**
**I'd also like to ask those who will remain**
**[06:02] ---**
*onboard to maintain our normal operations.**
**[06:06] ---**
**Regardless of whether we make it back alive,**
**[06:08] ---**
Amiya!
*Regardless of whether we make it back alive,*
**[06:09] ---**
You *will* make it back!
**[06:10] ---**
**please ensure that Rhodes Island**
**[06:12] ---**
*will go on to save as many lives as we can.*
**[06:15] ---**
That is all.
**[06:18] ---**
You can't go.
**[06:20] ---**
Why not? Blaze, you're acting all weird.
**[06:23] ---**
You just can't! This isn't like
the missions you went on—
**[06:26] ---**
Because I might die?
**[06:29] ---**
You can't just come out and say it like that!
**[06:31] ---**
Ace and Scout are both dead, right?
**[06:34] ---**
I want to go and find out
what happened to them.
**[06:38] ---**
You can let go of those memories
and don't look back—
**[06:41] ---**
Er... No, I didn't mean it like that...
**[06:45] ---**
Sorry. Even painful memories
are important, right?
**[06:50] ---**
If I don't look... they're forgotten, no?
**[06:53] ---**
I want to remember everybody.
**[06:56] ---**
Even if they're dead, I'll never forget them.
**[07:00] ---**
Yeah, you're right.
**[07:01] ---**
We're elite operators.
**[07:04] ---**
Rosmontis, come back safe.
**[07:08] ---**
Right. I will.
**[07:10] ---**
Are we really bringing her?
**[07:12] ---**
You've read about her accomplishments.
**[07:14] ---**
I know I'm contradicting myself,
but she's way too young.
**[07:18] ---**
I have my reasons.
**[07:21] ---**
To think you'd one day be so worried...
**[07:24] ---**
Huh?
**[07:25] ---**
You won the battle in the Lungmen sub-layer.
**[07:27] ---**
I wouldn't call that a victory.
**[07:29] ---**
You brought the enemy commander back to—
**[07:31] ---**
She wasn't an enemy!
**[07:33] ---**
Doctor, distinguish your
enemies from your allies.
**[07:36] ---**
No, I don't intend to
criticize your judgment.
**[07:39] ---**
You attempted to understand
the enemy's motives
**[07:42] ---**
and bear the consequences of that.
**[07:44] ---**
So long as you face what's occurring
in these lands with sincerity,
**[07:47] ---**
I will respect your judgment.
**[07:51] ---**
Regardless of the result, I will bear
the responsibility along with you.
**[07:54] ---**
Your powers and responsibilities
complement one another.
**[07:59] ---**
And as the commander, it rests on you
to determine between friend and foe.
**[08:04] ---**
This has nothing to do with your memories.
**[08:06] ---**
I will respect the judgment
of who you are currently.
**[08:09] ---**
Sorry for the wait!
**[08:10] ---**
Great speech.
**[08:12] ---**
That was wonderful.
**[08:14] ---**
Thank you!
**[08:18] ---**
"Contradicting myself," huh?
**[08:18] ---**
Thank you very much!
"Contradicting myself," huh?
**[08:19] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[08:20] ---**
What sets them apart to you?
**[08:23] ---**
Okay, let's get started.
**[08:25] ---**
The three of us will take command
of this operation together.
**[08:29] ---**
With the data we got from the Azazel Clinic,
**[08:31] ---**
we have a complete picture
of the city's structure,
**[08:33] ---**
but due to the Catastrophe, we
are having trouble with comms.
**[08:36] ---**
As such, Captain Raidian's
Arts and recon squad
**[08:38] ---**
will be the focal point for our comms.
**[08:41] ---**
When you add Captain Mantra's
Special Operations team
**[08:44] ---**
and our three combat teams,
**[08:46] ---**
there will be a total of
five teams on this mission.
**[08:48] ---**
We'll enter through the maintenance
hatches on the city's sides.
**[08:52] ---**
As we approach the city,
**[08:53] ---**
the airborne decoy squad
will create a distraction
**[08:56] ---**
as we deploy camouflage on the ground.
**[08:58] ---**
The frame's camouflaged.
**[09:01] ---**
Start the ventilation!
**[09:03] ---**
The core city was basically
designed as a warship...
**[09:06] ---**
It's the very embodiment of Ursus's violence.
**[09:09] ---**
Not all its citizens are like that.
**[09:11] ---**
As long as they support the
war, it's no different.
**[09:14] ---**
Sorry, I'm still haunted by my
hometown being burned to the ground.
**[09:18] ---**
Firewatch, I never had
the chance to save you...
**[09:22] ---**
*Reunion reconnaissance approaching.*
**[09:24] ---**
*We're counting on you!*
**[09:26] ---**
But now, I shall fight alongside you.
**[09:28] ---**
Until they've successfully
infiltrated, let us hold this area.
**[09:31] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:33] ---**
*We're entering the sandstorm!*
**[09:35] ---**
*Roger that!*
**[09:38] ---**
Whoa, so bright!
**[09:40] ---**
I didn't know the Radiant
Knight could do that!
**[09:43] ---**
Right, Captain Mantra?
**[09:45] ---**
Amazing... It's so clear even
though we're in a sandstorm!
**[09:49] ---**
I can only camouflage you
for a minute at most! Hurry!
**[09:52] ---**
Roger! All units, begin to infiltrate!
**[10:01] ---**
Am I really going in like this...?
**[10:03] ---**
We don't have the time for
you to learn to use one.
**[10:07] ---**
Wasn't your talent cooking instant
ramen directly in your mouth? Then—
**[10:10] ---**
Wait, what?
**[10:12] ---**
Shut up and bear with it. Now go.
**[10:13] ---**
H-Hold on!
**[10:16] ---**
It was a joke.
**[10:17] ---**
What do you think? Aren't
I a natural at this?
**[10:19] ---**
Huh?
**[10:20] ---**
Are you afraid of heights?
**[10:21] ---**
I told you to draw their attention,
not to show off your stunt flying...
**[10:25] ---**
*This is Amiya!*
**[10:26] ---**
*All teams have successfully infiltrated!*
**[10:29] ---**
Roger. We'll be heading back now.
**[10:33] ---**
Amiya,
**[10:34] ---**
Rhodes Island needs you.
**[10:37] ---**
*Make sure everyone comes back alive.*
**[10:39] ---**
I pray for your success.
**[10:40] ---**
*Right!*
**[10:42] ---**
I'm glad to see you've returned safely.
**[10:43] ---**
"Safely"?
**[10:44] ---**
So many of our comrades died back there!
**[10:47] ---**
FrostNova, the Yeti Squad, and even Faust!
**[10:50] ---**
I see.
**[10:51] ---**
The situation in Lungmen was
nothing like we planned for.
**[10:55] ---**
Even here in this core city...
**[10:57] ---**
Comms between Reunion
members are being jammed!
**[10:59] ---**
Hey, watch your mouth!
Comms between Reunion members are being jammed!
**[11:00] ---**
What is going on—
Hey, watch your mouth!
**[11:00] ---**
What is going on—
**[11:01] ---**
Where's Patriot?!
You...!
**[11:02] ---**
Where's Patriot?!
**[11:03] ---**
This makes no sense!
**[11:04] ---**
Watch your mouth!
This makes no sense!
**[11:04] ---**
Watch your mouth!
**[11:05] ---**
Reunion will never forget Faust.
**[11:09] ---**
We will avenge our comrades.
**[11:13] ---**
Mephisto will need to rest.
**[11:15] ---**
The rest of you as well.
**[11:18] ---**
Take them to the camp.
**[11:19] ---**
Yes ma'am.
**[11:24] ---**
Isolate them from the other squads.
**[11:27] ---**
Forever.
**[11:28] ---**
*Who are you?!*
**[11:31] ---**
Who... am I?
**[11:34] ---**
*What do you want?*
**[11:36] ---**
What do I...
**[11:38] ---**
*Fight for... myself?*
**[11:41] ---**
Fight...?
**[11:44] ---**
Ahh, the proud Ursines.
**[11:48] ---**
And to think you two were meant
to be the last ones standing.
**[11:59] ---**
*We've confirmed the situation.*
**[12:02] ---**
*Mantra Squad, investigate how
the enemy is communicating.*
**[12:04] ---**
*Raidian Squad, maintain our communications
and continue reconnaissance.*
**[12:08] ---**
*All teams, move out.*
**[12:11] ---**
Raidian and Mantra... All the
elite operators are my family.
**[12:16] ---**
Family...
**[12:18] ---**
But I know I'm not supposed
to think of them like that.
**[12:21] ---**
Do you know Ace and Scout, Doctor?
**[12:25] ---**
I've met Ace.
**[12:27] ---**
I haven't seen either of them for days.
**[12:30] ---**
Huh?
**[12:31] ---**
Maybe they've gone somewhere...
**[12:33] ---**
Rosmontis, they're both already—
**[12:35] ---**
It's as I expected.
**[12:38] ---**
The city's comm networks have
been purposefully cut off.
**[12:41] ---**
But the Originium disrupting the
signals has been left standing.
**[12:44] ---**
Talulah is attempting to
fracture the organization.
**[12:47] ---**
That makes it harder to read their movements.
**[12:50] ---**
Deploy more scouts.
**[12:51] ---**
Okay.
**[12:52] ---**
Lavaca.
**[12:53] ---**
Yes!
Lavaca.
**[12:53] ---**
Bluishsilver.
**[12:54] ---**
Yes.
Bluishsilver.
**[12:55] ---**
Have your team take a detour
through the sub-route.
**[12:58] ---**
Roger!
**[13:01] ---**
What's this...? I think I can feel something.
**[13:04] ---**
You're right. It's faint... but this
place is covered in the smell of death.
**[13:09] ---**
An ancient Sarkaz ritual?
**[13:11] ---**
Yes, and not many are capable of this.
**[13:13] ---**
Only a pure-blooded Wendigo.
**[13:16] ---**
So he really is here?
**[13:19] ---**
Let's move.
**[13:21] ---**
Get in formation.
**[13:28] ---**
There's no doubt about it.
**[13:30] ---**
This is Madame Ch'en's.
**[13:32] ---**
Let's hurr—
**[13:33] ---**
Leave Ursus right now, you Infected!
Let's hurr—
**[13:33] ---**
Leave Ursus right now, you Infected!
**[13:36] ---**
Please, calm down!
**[13:37] ---**
We're a neutral medical organization!
**[13:40] ---**
We have supplies that can suppress the—
**[13:41] ---**
Shut up! I'm not an Infected!
We have supplies that can suppress the—
**[13:42] ---**
Shut up! I'm not an Infected!
**[13:45] ---**
I'm a citizen of Ursus!
**[13:47] ---**
I... Why am I...
**[13:49] ---**
All the Infected should just die!
She's in distress. Let her vent.
**[13:53] ---**
You were sent by the government,
right?! It's too late—
**[13:55] ---**
If they really were, they
would've killed you already.
**[13:58] ---**
That voice!
**[14:00] ---**
Guard?!
**[14:01] ---**
You're safe!
**[14:03] ---**
It's been a while.
**[14:05] ---**
Thank goodness...
**[14:06] ---**
"As long as you survive,
you'll meet them again..."
**[14:08] ---**
It really happened.
**[14:09] ---**
Explain your clothes.
**[14:11] ---**
I will, but give me a minute.
**[14:14] ---**
Tatiana, go back insid—
**[14:15] ---**
Shut up, Reunion!
**[14:17] ---**
Patriot's troops have pulled out of the area.
You're murderers!
**[14:21] ---**
Patriot?
It's dangerous outside.
**[14:23] ---**
He's just a hypocrite!
**[14:24] ---**
They—
**[14:25] ---**
They let the rest of them wreck the town!
**[14:28] ---**
You're wrong!
**[14:30] ---**
A Sarkaz patrol is going to
pass through the area soon!
**[14:32] ---**
You should all hide in the warehouse...
**[14:34] ---**
Calm down!
Am I supposed to buy into their beastshit?!
**[14:36] ---**
Please, just keep quiet.
Liars! Why don't you just die?!
**[14:37] ---**
Kill yourse—
**[14:40] ---**
Dr. Kal'tsit?!
**[14:41] ---**
Has he done anything to harm any civilians?
**[14:45] ---**
He's a deserter. I will deal with him
in accordance with your response.
**[14:49] ---**
Wh-Why me?
**[14:50] ---**
The enemy is getting close.
**[14:52] ---**
Did he hurt you?
**[14:54] ---**
Um, err...
**[14:55] ---**
Thirty-five meters.
**[14:57] ---**
You need... to hide!
**[14:58] ---**
The answer comes first.
**[15:00] ---**
Twenty-eight meters.
**[15:01] ---**
Well...
**[15:02] ---**
Twenty-three.
**[15:03] ---**
Mon3tr.
**[15:05] ---**
Twenty-two.
**[15:07] ---**
Twenty-one.
**[15:09] ---**
He didn't...
**[15:11] ---**
He didn't do anything wrong...
**[15:16] ---**
That was some convincing acting...
**[15:18] ---**
It *was* acting, right?
**[15:20] ---**
Consider it a form of psychological care.
**[15:22] ---**
You should be feeling a lot less pain now.
**[15:24] ---**
Thanks...
**[15:26] ---**
I thought maybe he was working
with the other Reunion people.
**[15:30] ---**
Sorry.
**[15:32] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[15:33] ---**
More importantly... To think you'd
be here on the frontlines...
**[15:37] ---**
Guard, she—
**[15:38] ---**
I'm here for a mission.
**[15:40] ---**
And to get revenge. For hurting my family.
**[15:44] ---**
That's why I'm here.
**[15:46] ---**
I see...
**[15:48] ---**
Sorry, forget I asked.
**[15:50] ---**
Everything has a reason.
**[15:52] ---**
Much like how you didn't return to us.
**[15:55] ---**
Right.
**[15:56] ---**
The only reason the citizens
here are still alive
**[15:59] ---**
is thanks to Patriot and his guerrillas.
**[16:02] ---**
I'm helping out, too.
**[16:04] ---**
He knew I was with Rhodes Island,
but was going to let me go.
**[16:08] ---**
But I decided to stay by my own will...
to see how things would turn out.
**[16:14] ---**
He respected Scout, who died to protect me.
**[16:19] ---**
He died?
**[16:21] ---**
"An old man with white hair brought
a charred, blackened object."
**[16:26] ---**
"It was Scout's."
**[16:28] ---**
"Scout is gone."
**[16:30] ---**
Rosmontis!
"Scout is..."
**[16:32] ---**
I wrote it... I wrote it all down, but I...!
**[16:35] ---**
Ace... Ace is also...
**[16:37] ---**
Let's get some fresh air.
**[16:38] ---**
Why did I forget?
Let's get some fresh air.
**[16:40] ---**
Why?!
**[16:41] ---**
Everyone, I'm extending our short rest.
**[16:45] ---**
Calm down. Close your eyes.
**[16:48] ---**
Doctor.
**[16:50] ---**
Scout left a message for you.
**[16:53] ---**
A message? For me?
**[16:55] ---**
He said, "I'll never forget even a second of the time
we spent fighting together."
**[17:02] ---**
But...
**[17:04] ---**
He also said you should stay
away from the battlefield.
**[17:07] ---**
Eh?
**[17:08] ---**
"If the flames of war and
slaughter change the Doctor..."
**[17:13] ---**
No...
**[17:14] ---**
The way you are now, you probably
can't just sit by and watch.
**[17:19] ---**
Right.
**[17:19] ---**
Both Scout and Captain Ace
had very strong convictions.
**[17:23] ---**
I'm only here now because two elite
operators gave up their lives.
**[17:28] ---**
That's why, this time, I want to stay
and see Patriot's convictions through.
**[17:32] ---**
Guard, our situation is a
little different than before,
**[17:36] ---**
but our conviction to save
people has not changed.
**[17:39] ---**
Amiya...
**[17:40] ---**
So as long as Patriot stands,
their organization will endure?
**[17:43] ---**
Yes, he's the last remaining
pillar of their sanity.
**[17:47] ---**
Even if Talulah has betrayed him?
**[17:50] ---**
Huh?
**[17:51] ---**
Identification code?! Collision course?!
**[17:55] ---**
That doesn't make any sense!
**[17:57] ---**
Don't tell me... the reason
we can't use the comms...
**[17:59] ---**
It's all part of Talulah's plan.
**[18:01] ---**
Does Rhodes Island consider Patriot an enemy?
**[18:04] ---**
We will try to talk to him.
**[18:07] ---**
I'll go tell him what's going on!
**[18:10] ---**
I can't let you two end up fighting!
**[18:12] ---**
Please do!
**[18:14] ---**
Buldrokkas'tee.
**[18:15] ---**
You knew his name?
**[18:17] ---**
FrostNova called him her father.
**[18:20] ---**
That's his real name.
**[18:22] ---**
Since their days in the tundra,
he and his soldiers have been called the "Aegis of the Infected".
**[18:27] ---**
The guerrillas are, in a sense,
another "Rhodes Island".
**[18:30] ---**
Rosmontis?
**[18:31] ---**
Let's go.
**[18:33] ---**
I don't want to remember.
**[18:35] ---**
I don't want Reunion in my memories.
**[18:40] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[18:41] ---**
The guerrillas are sending runners
carrying encrypted messages.
**[18:46] ---**
It's primitive, but reliable.
**[18:48] ---**
Right, Captain Mantra?
**[18:51] ---**
Raidian, if you feel any discomfort in your nervous system,
immediately take the supplement.
**[18:56] ---**
I'll be right here.
**[18:57] ---**
Yep.
**[18:59] ---**
I'll start now.
**[19:04] ---**
Found them. Three.
**[19:06] ---**
Four... Five.
**[19:10] ---**
Raidian, sever Rosmontis's connection. Now!
**[19:12] ---**
Rosmontis!
**[19:14] ---**
We're here with you.
**[19:15] ---**
I'm here with you.
**[19:19] ---**
Yeah...
**[19:20] ---**
I'm okay.
**[19:22] ---**
Raidian, connect Rosmontis's terminal.
**[19:24] ---**
Nine...
**[19:26] ---**
Thirteen... Fourteen...
**[19:28] ---**
I found all of them.
**[19:30] ---**
Good work.
**[19:31] ---**
We'll neutralize the runners and
proceed to the central district.
**[19:35] ---**
Rosmontis...
**[19:36] ---**
I'm fine.
**[19:37] ---**
I came here to protect everyone.
**[19:40] ---**
I'm here because of this power.
**[19:43] ---**
It doesn't matter if I'm a child.
**[19:46] ---**
Amiya's the same.
**[19:48] ---**
We're monsters, aren't we?
**[19:50] ---**
Doctor?
**[19:54] ---**
Rhodes Island...
**[19:55] ---**
Let them pass.
**[19:59] ---**
Let me through!
**[20:01] ---**
You know something, don't you?
**[20:05] ---**
*Guerrillas spotted across the bridge!*
**[20:07] ---**
*Understood. Standby and stay alert.*
**[20:10] ---**
Guess they're not stupid enough to rush in.
**[20:12] ---**
Hm?
**[20:13] ---**
A Feline girl...?
**[20:17] ---**
Slice from there, to there.
**[20:22] ---**
Hold it with my hands.
**[20:24] ---**
Slice.
**[20:26] ---**
Like slicing a potato.
**[20:28] ---**
This is a lot more overwhelming
than the data...
**[20:32] ---**
It's the manifestation of Rosmontis's mind.
**[20:36] ---**
This has been covered up, but...
**[20:38] ---**
she's an artificially-created Infected.
**[20:42] ---**
An infected organ was
implanted in her brain stem.
**[20:44] ---**
Removing it would mean death.
**[20:46] ---**
Was it to make her into a weapon?
**[20:47] ---**
Perhaps.
**[20:49] ---**
Her Arts leak out from her body and,
if left alone, will take lives.
**[20:53] ---**
After she was taken into our custody,
she underwent training to control her Arts.
**[20:59] ---**
Of course, it was per her wishes.
**[21:01] ---**
Do you think she's a weapon?
**[21:03] ---**
She is absolutely not!
**[21:05] ---**
But... that power is far too strong...
**[21:09] ---**
Scout must've felt the same way.
**[21:14] ---**
Some things can only be dealt
with using overwhelming force.
**[21:17] ---**
She knows that, too.
**[21:20] ---**
Therefore, what's important...
**[21:22] ---**
is what that power will be used for.
**[21:25] ---**
And that goes for you too, Doctor.
**[21:29] ---**
The guerrillas are retreating!
**[21:31] ---**
*Proceed.*
**[21:33] ---**
All units, get your protective gear ready.
**[21:37] ---**
We're getting close to the ritual.
**[21:42] ---**
I can feel the energy...
**[21:45] ---**
It's coming from behind them.
**[21:47] ---**
But I can also sense *him*... and Guard is—
**[21:51] ---**
I'll destroy it.
**[21:52] ---**
Wait, Rosmontis!
**[21:57] ---**
Are you okay?!
**[22:00] ---**
Patriot.
**[22:03] ---**
The Aegis of the Infected...
