...Ugh—Aargh!
After falling into Nat's trap, Karenina has been tumbling inside the vent for a few minutes...
(Stops herself falling by wedging her weapon within the vent) ...
Another trap...!
Oh... it's just the fan.
Goddamn Nat... What a dirty move... I'm not going to let her get away once I'm back with the commandant!
But how do I go back?
Batch 15977... Product inspection begins...
(Watches through the fan) Down there... those are...
Construct... Quantity: 151...
Abandoned Construct... Quantity: 121... Power supply damaged... Repair order A++... Order postponed...
Infected Construct... Quantity: 30...
Warning... Infection level B++... Antigen required...
Infected Construct... Danger... Danger... Assistance required immediately... immediately...
Could it be...
Nat's trying to fight them with infected Constructs...
Antigen required... antigen required...
Construct infected... Restrain required...
(Shakes her head) I was so foolish...
They're clearing executing orders following a fixed blueprint.
"Product," "batch"... this is a supply line Nat designed.
No wonder there are so many Constructs in Nat's army. They've been brought here like this from all over the world...
(Looks down) In order to fill the ranks, you're even using infected Constructs... Have you thought about the risks, Nat?
Antigen administering... antigen administering...
..."Antigen administering"?
That is when Karenina realizes that in order to administer the golden antigen, the gold dust has to be transported into the building... through the vent...
...?!
A large stream of gold dust crashes into Karenina, flushing her out of the vent into the group of guards and infected Constructs...
Antigen applied... Corrupted Constructs under control...
Guard 15977-A0001... this is... your identity number... It is also...
Your place... in the Queen's heart...
15977-A0001... executing the Queen's will...
...I was hoping to avoid a fight.
