...!! ...!!
(Shoots the guard leaping toward you) The guards are still on us.
Nanami... puts down the head.
(Opens up the head and removes its central system) It... wants to talk to Nanami.
...!
We don't have time! The guards are going to have us...
It's no longer under Nat's control after the power system failed. Please let me take its brain!
...
Take it, and don't fall behind.
————
Nanami! What... did that guard say to you?
(Connects to the guard's brain) The power system is falling apart... more guards will be freed soon.
...Losing power means losing control.
(Disconnects) Yep...
An another thing...
Nat... before she was refitted into a Construct, she was Dominik's lieutenant.
Why does this guard know Nat's history?
It was one of Nat's royal guards.
...!
Nanami! Hold it tight, and don't lose it! It's still valuable to us...
We can't go back the same way now.
Commandant? What should we do?
Understood.
Comms request—Bianca, Purifying Force.
Everyone, I've located Karenina...
We're rendezvousing right above you.
From where we're standing, Nat's guards have us surrounded. We're running out of escape routes...
Nat has thought it through. Once they close in, we'll have to pick a direction and run...
(Aims upward) I can't think of a route that makes more sense currently...
Hey! Did we forget Kamui?
Commandant contacted Kamui after comms was back. He's been in the channel this whole time...
Right, right... I've been listening, alright... Busy here... Complicated... retreat... hold on...
...Huh?
Escape route... Don't worry about me... I'm too far from you guys. I'm still at the engines... Situation here... hard to explain in a few words...
I'll find my way out of here... Protect the commandant, take care of yourselves... I'm the strongest Construct here after all... Don't worry about me... (laughs)
Confident as always...
(Sees your expression) Understood...
Bianca, continue to move up with Karenina...
We're right behind you. Escape route—the top of the Golden Vortex...
