EAPN [GN situation news flash]
Announcer |
It’s time for “Top News 7”. |
|
To begin with, there has been a new development in the situation concerning the state of tensions continuing between General and Neucom ever since the Faith Park incident. |
|
. |
|
. |
|
. |
|
According to an emergency press conference held by the General Resource PR division, |
|
. |
|
it seems that General Resource satellites have been destroyed by a Neucom attack. |
|
. |
|
. |
|
The statement from the General Resource side said, |
|
“These satellites were being used with civilian purposes in mind from the start; |
|
. |
|
this attack is a unilateral act of vandalism by Neucom.” |
|
. |
|
in a scathing criticism. |
|
However, apparently in response to this conference, |
|
the Neucom side’s conference held right after, |
|
while conceding that it was an attack, |
|
stated that these satellites were used for military purposes. |
|
. |
|
It appears there is a major discrepancy between the two companies’ statements; |
|
their tendencies in the future will be watched closely. |
Fiona [...was thinking.]↵
Fii |
You see the news? |
|
I get the feeling things have already come to the point where nobody can stop them. |
|
. |
|
After all, all we know is that neither side approves of anyone but themselves. |
|
. |
|
UPEO no longer has Representative Clarkson, and |
|
I feel like it’s just General-related businesses that.... |
|
Right now, things like “countries” |
|
or “governments” have lost power, and |
|
economics has given General enormous power; |
|
now science will try to deny economics——. |
|
Even whenever that comes about, fighting won’t die out. |
|
When we were in SARF, my intention in fighting |
|
was for the purpose of making fighting stop, but.... |
|
That Neucom’s science—our scientists here are |
|
going to make the wonderful future they speak of, too, |
|
...to me, it doesn’t seem they will. |
|
—even so, now that I’m here |
|
all I want to do is fly with Sister and you, but... that struck me. |
|
. |
Briefing
We have received a communication that a recon satellite of ours has fallen into the sea. |
. |
A recovery squad is already headed for it, but |
General Resource has caught hold of the situation, and |
is trying to capture the intel held on the satellite. |
Please support the recovery squad, and prevent a leak of secrets to General Resource. |

After mission end
Fiona [About my sister... listen]↵
Fii |
Huh, it seems you’re not there again, so |
|
I’ll leave a message. |
|
The truth is, there’s something I wanna consult with you about.... |
|
Okay, it’s the same as usual, but uh. |
|
About my sister Cynthia.... |
|
The truth is, I accidentally found her name on a list of test subjects for Sublimation, but um. |
|
. |
|
Having dreams in the world of science and computers and stuff isn’t exactly a bad thing, right? |
|
. |
|
I know she chose Neucom accordingly. |
|
. |
|
But... my sister needs to take the trouble to undergo still-experimental technology why? |
|
. |
|
. |
|
—and what should I do? |
Cynthia [Sorry to make you worry]↵
Cynthia |
Perhaps you may have already heard it from Fii, but |
|
. |
|
she wants you to hear her out. |
|
—there isn’t much I can do for her anymore, after all. |
|
. |
|
Somehow, it seems you got caught in a fight between sisters; sorry about that.... |
|
. |
|
. |
|
But to be honest, |
|
she came here from the middle, so |
|
I think the one and only person it seems she can consult with is more or less you, you see. |
