Hey there. How's work?[ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
qev065401_MSG0002 |
Sorry to bug you when you're busy, but do you think[ST:n ]you could help me out with a teeeeensy favor?[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
qev065401_MSG0003 |
It's actually a really juicy offer—has to do with you,[ST:n ]me, and my man Clemons here.[ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
qev065401_JNK0010 |
Refuse |
| 5 |
|
qev065401_SEL0011 |
Ignore Lara Nara, sensing nothing but disaster ahead. |
| 6 |
|
qev065401_JNK0020 |
Listen |
| 7 |
|
qev065401_SEL0021 |
Hear Lara Nara out. |
| 8 |
|
qev065401_MSG0004 |
What? Oh, no no no! I think you have the wrong idea.[ST:wait ] |
| 9 |
|
qev065401_MSG0005 |
I'll admit I could have maybe phrased things better.[ST:n ]That's my bad.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
qev065401_MSG0006 |
What I have for you is a serious and profitable job.[ST:n ]You won't regret hearing me out.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev065401_MSG0007 |
Mmm, I thought you might be interested.[ST:n ]Hard to resist a pretty face like Clemons, after all.[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev065401_MSG0008 |
You wouldn't believe what we got up to when we first[ST:n ]met![ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
qev065401_MSG0009 |
...Wait, why are you rolling your eyes?[ST:n ]You're not even a little bit curious? Sheesh.[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev065401_MSG0010 |
How you're not curious about a catch like me is[ST:n ]simply mystifying.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev065401_MSG0011 |
Well, there's no accounting for taste, I suppose.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev065401_MSG0012 |
Aaaaanyway, the little job I mentioned actually comes[ST:n ]from Clemons.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev065401_MSG0013 |
And since he found the intel, I'll let him do the briefing.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
qev065401_MSG0014 |
Hey there. Like he said, the name's Clemons.[ST:n ]So you know the Ganglion fortress north of the city?[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev065401_MSG0015 |
I've got witnesses saying they've recently installed some[ST:n ]brand-new weapon there.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
qev065401_MSG0016 |
But the fact they're doing so in secret instead of making[ST:n ]it a show of force is worrisome.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev065401_MSG0017 |
That means it's not just a deterrent—they're planning to[ST:n ]use it, likely when they think we'll least expect it.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev065401_MSG0018 |
The good news is that they don't know we have this[ST:n ]intel yet.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev065401_MSG0019 |
So we need to launch our own surprise attack before[ST:n ]they launch theirs, and now is our best chance.[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev065401_MSG0020 |
If we're lucky, we might take down their new weapon[ST:n ]and the whole fortress to boot.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
qev065401_MSG0021 |
But that's only if we act fast, which is why we need[ST:n ]your help.[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
qev065401_MSG0022 |
...Seeeeee? Totally legit business offer.[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
qev065401_MSG0023 |
We've already sent in an advance team—they should[ST:n ]be working on suppressing the hold's defenses now.[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
qev065401_MSG0024 |
You would be playing escort to a science team we're[ST:n ]sending in to analyze whatever this weapon of theirs is.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
qev065401_MSG0025 |
Ha! There, see? Easy as pie. So get all your little[ST:n ]duckies in a row, because you're shipping out ASAP.[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
qev065401_MSG0026 |
...What? Wait, say again?[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
qev065401_MSG0027 |
...Hold on, is that confirmed?[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
qev065401_MSG0028 |
...Oh my gosh, that is AWFUL![ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
qev065401_MSG0029 |
Situation's changed, kiddos![ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
qev065401_MSG0030 |
Our advance team ran into more resistance than we[ST:n ]expected and got pretty much...er...wiped out.[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
qev065401_MSG0031 |
The science team is officially canceled. Now I want you[ST:n ]to go in there and get whatever's left of the advance[ST:n ]team out, pronto![ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
qev065401_MSG0032 |
I know this little job's taken a real turn for the grim,[ST:n ]but you're still in, right?[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
qev065401_MSG0033 |
Clemons and I need to focus on information gathering,[ST:n ]so you get out there as soon as you can.[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
qev065401_MSG0034 |
We're counting on you. Ta-ta![ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
qev065401_MSG0035 |
I don't think the advance team just got careless...[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
qev065401_MSG0036 |
Something came up. Something none of us expected.[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
qev065401_MSG0037 |
So make sure YOU go in there expecting anything[ST:n ]and everything. Got it? Good.[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev065401_MSG0038 |
Our team is still pinned down at the fortress north of[ST:n ]the city. Good luck![ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev065401_MSG0039 |
Welcome back, [ST:Gender p1=hero p2=heroine ]! Nice work out there.[ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
qev065401_MSG0040 |
That BLADE you saved beat you back here.[ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev065401_MSG0041 |
It tears me up that he's the only one who made it[ST:n ]home, but at least he's doing well.[ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
qev065401_MSG0042 |
As for the operation at the north fortress,[ST:n ]it seems we all got played for saps.[ST:wait ] |
| 47 |
|
qev065401_MSG0043 |
Clemons sold us out to the Ganglion! His fake intel[ST:n ]sent our advance team straight into an ambush.[ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
qev065401_MSG0044 |
He's being \"questioned\" by his CO as we speak.[ST:n ]...And yes, those are total air quotes.[ST:wait ] |
| 49 |
|
qev065401_MSG0045 |
I never would have taken Clemons for a traitor...[ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
qev065401_MSG0046 |
Hmmmm? Was that Suriella just now?[ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
qev065401_MSG0047 |
You know her, right? New LA's own \"town helper\"?[ST:wait ] |
| 52 |
|
qev065401_MSG0048 |
Helping people out is sort of her... Well, hobby.[ST:n ]And since we can always use the help,[ST:n ]we give her PLENTY of opportunities.[ST:wait ] |
| 53 |
|
qev065401_MSG0049 |
Kind of feels like we're taking advantage of her[ST:n ]sometimes, but she doesn't seem to mind.[ST:wait ] |
| 54 |
|
qev065401_MSG0050 |
Wonder what's got her in such a hurry, though.[ST:wait ] |
| 55 |
|
qev065401_MSG0051 |
Did you see anybody pass by here?![ST:wait ] |
| 56 |
|
qev065401_MSG0052 |
Mmm-hmm. Suriella tore through like a bat outta heck.[ST:n ]...Oh, look! She's right behind you! |
| 57 |
|
qev065401_MSG0053 |
That is SO weird. I must not have seen you when you[ST:n ]doubled back.[ST:wait ] |
| 58 |
|
qev065401_MSG0054 |
I didn't double back! The person you saw wasn't me![ST:wait ] |
| 59 |
|
qev065401_MSG0055 |
It's some alien POSING as me![ST:wait ] |
| 60 |
|
qev065401_MSG0056 |
What? ...Wait, WHAT?![ST:wait ] |
| 61 |
|
qev065401_MSG0057 |
That mess at the Ganglion fortress with the fake intel[ST:n ]was them, too. It's a Definian! They can change shape![ST:wait ] |
| 62 |
|
qev065401_MSG0058 |
I was interrogating Clemons when... Well, I THOUGHT[ST:n ]I was interrogating Clemons, but then that Definian[ST:n ]showed her true form.[ST:wait ] |
| 63 |
|
qev065401_MSG0059 |
Now she's posing as Suriella and trying to get away![ST:wait ] |
| 64 |
|
qev065401_MSG0060 |
So the Clemons that betrayed us was a...fake?[ST:wait ] |
| 65 |
|
qev065401_MSG0061 |
You got it. New LA's under lockdown right now—[ST:n ]we've got BLADEs in Skells at all the exits.[ST:wait ] |
| 66 |
|
qev065401_MSG0062 |
It's physically impossible for her to get out through that.[ST:wait ] |
| 67 |
|
qev065401_MSG0063 |
So now it's our job to find her.[ST:n ]And honestly, we could use some help.[ST:wait ] |
| 68 |
|
qev065401_MSG0064 |
A shape-shifter, huh? Talk about a pain in the glutes...[ST:wait ] |
| 69 |
|
qev065401_MSG0065 |
If there's anything I can do to help, please tell me.[ST:wait ] |
| 70 |
|
qev065401_MSG0066 |
You can stay put right here, honey.[ST:wait ] |
| 71 |
|
qev065401_MSG0067 |
But...[ST:wait ] |
| 72 |
|
qev065401_MSG0068 |
Girl, that thing is impersonating you! If you go[ST:n ]wandering around, you'll only be in the way.[ST:wait ] |
| 73 |
|
qev065401_MSG0069 |
So leave this one to us, okay? We've got this.[ST:wait ] |
| 74 |
|
qev065401_MSG0070 |
......[ST:wait ] |
| 75 |
|
qev065401_MSG0071 |
All right. We've got a Definian to catch![ST:wait ] |
| 76 |
|
qev065401_MSG0072 |
We know that sneaky snake is somewhere in the city,[ST:n ]and that she was last seen looking like Suriella.[ST:wait ] |
| 77 |
|
qev065401_MSG0073 |
I'll start out in the administrative district.[ST:n ]You take a look in the commercial district.[ST:wait ] |
| 78 |
|
qev065401_MSG0074 |
What a pain in the rear, I swear...[ST:wait ] |
| 79 |
|
qev065401_MSG0075 |
I'll bet the little punk that played us is laughing her[ST:n ]head off right now.[ST:wait ] |
| 80 |
|
qev065401_MSG0076 |
I swear, once I find her, she is gonna HURT![ST:wait ] |
| 81 |
|
qev065401_MSG0077 |
Come on. We've got a shape-shifter to catch.[ST:n ]She's probably still impersonating Suriella.[ST:wait ] |
