Operation location: Rocky Is.
Caster |
For us, the power of science |
|
brings about great prosperity; |
|
it grants us many blessings. |
|
However, at the same time, the rampage of science |
|
causes disasters and environmental destruction, |
|
concealing a power that could so much as destroy all mankind. |
|
As you have seen in this report, |
|
the dreams of scientists that Neucom is putting forth, |
|
such as nanotechnology, space development, microwave power, and so on, |
|
. |
|
amount to concrete threats, and |
|
are threatening to engulf all mankind. |
Scott Crawford |
We of the Global Way |
|
are not necessarily denying any of these new technologies. |
|
. |
|
As proof of this, I even ride in a car, and |
|
have gotten a Sphere account as well. |
|
However, the scientists of Neucom |
|
will stop at nothing to realize their own dreams. |
|
. |
|
The scientists of Neucom, |
|
as is to be understood from their having been a so-called mass of mavericks at General Resource, |
|
. |
|
. |
|
are trying to implement new technologies on a large-scale basis without taking adequate testing periods. |
|
. |
|
. |
|
We are actively seeking the public disclosure of information regarding this riskiness. |
|
. |
|
...oh yes. |
|
We are not an organization whose purpose is to oppose everything. |
|
. |
|
I think that’s the only thing we want anyone to understand. |
Keith |
Yo, rookie. |
|
I’ll hand it to ya; your skill is definitely about lower-mid at General. |
|
. |
|
. |
|
But Dision is just a bit pleased, so |
|
. |
|
don’tcha get all big-headed. |
|
You and that guy are on completely different levels. |
|
I still can’t comprehend just what that guy wanted to put you under his direct supervision for. |
|
. |
|
. |
|
Before you came, |
|
we were just fine with him and me. |
|
...well, that’s how I felt, so |
|
it’s not that really care about you, kid. |
|
Don’t forget: if you mess up, Dision’s gonna bear the responsibility. |
|
. |
|
. |
|
Seeya. |
Dision |
You probably saw a message from Keith already. |
|
Don’t let that guy’s crap get to you. |
|
He and I are on terms that until now was always the two of us making up the team. |
|
. |
|
Well, he’s got good skills, |
|
and happens to be the person most experienced in actual combat at General. |
|
But for all that... he’s an extremely prejudiced guy, and |
|
this time when I put you here, |
|
there was a bit of that. |
|
He can be temperamental, but |
|
there is no other pilot with as much courage as that guy on the battlefields. |
|
. |
|
To fly with him |
|
is going to be a good experience for you. |
|
Well then, I am looking forward to meeting you again in the skies. |
|
. |
Dision |
The operation was cleared. |
|
Somehow it seems that you were even able to coordinate well with Keith. |
|
. |
|
He, too, acknowledged your ability. |
|
I hope you keep this pace afterwards as well. |
|
Our battle as still only just begun. |
|
In the case of Megafloat, |
|
I’m sure even you knew that Neucom’s side also has considerable military force. |
|
. |
|
. |
|
Farewell. |
Keith |
...hmph. Guess you’re not here. |
|
I only have one thing to tell ya. |
|
Every battle is all decided by speed. |
|
If you keep on fighting like you did this time, |
|
. |
|
it will be impossible to for you to live long. |
|
From now on, you should think about that a bit when you act. |
|
. |
|
Because for the most part, it will be impossible for us do support for you. |
|
. |
|
. |
Dision |
Somehow, you’ve even gotten used to the General-brand Coffin, it seems. |
|
. |
|
The form of our Aero-Coffins |
|
is outdated compared to the Neucom type, but |
|
. |
|
that way, I suppose you know you can fly reliably. |
|
. |
|
By the way, we now have a personal matter of business. |
|
In fact, from the wreckage of the speedboat that escaped from Megafloat in this operation, |
|
. |
|
we caught hold of intel of profound interest. |
|
It was, at one time.... |
|
It’s something from before the birth of Neucom, around when we were performing various experiments, and |
|
. |
|
almost like something from the lost past. |
|
But somehow, there is a point where it seems that our future is hidden in this heritage. |
|
. |
|
. |
|
I’d investigate a bit more, but |
|
when it comes down to it, |
|
I am also considering an action on my own authority. |
|
When the time comes, |
|
I want you to collaborate with me. |
|
—I will contact you again. |
