NO.50 Bunker Dune

Have you all arrived safely?

...

Well, you're in one piece, so that counts.

...So where's our destination this time?

It's top secret, so I'll let the President explain himself.

Some military facilities were abandoned in the early Post-Pandemic Age.

There are some items that we were not able to retrieve in time. Commander Nikola would like you to recover them.

Meanwhile, I would like the target facilities to be repaired and reactivated.

By the way, for this operation, we have assistants standing by to help you all identify the server centers where the data is stored.

A small figure appears from the shadows of the building.

...The mechanoids wandering around in the area are technically related to the performance troupe...

So this operation concerns the Nighter as well.

If the mechanoids prowling around here aren't Corrupted, then they have a place on the Nighter.

What? No thanks for the one who saved your life?

I heard all about it. I must express my greatest gratitude on Babylonia's behalf.

...When I show you to the database, Mr. President, I hope you'll remember what you promised me.

Of course. [player name] will make the arrangements.

Huh? So [player name] is in charge? Well, I guess I'll trust you for now.

I gotta warn you... though what you'll see in the database belongs to Babylonia, you can also find secrets of the Kowloong Chamber of Commerce. So watch what you're watching!

As Pulao gets more and more animated, her little fists dancing in the air, Hassen wisely speaks up to cut her off.

To conclude, please work together and perform your duties to the best of your ability.

Because of the sensitive nature of this operation, as well as the complicated status of the Corrupted, I've arranged for Bianca to provide overwatch.

I've got you covered.

Of course, we'll discuss details of providing "materiel" to the Nighter once the operation is finished.

But let's focus on the mission first.

You Babylonians gotta work on brevity in your briefings...

Anyway, let's get ready to crack some skulls.

The mechs have already surrounded us.

Too bad they're already seriously affected by the Punishing Virus.

Already? When did—

...

You didn't know? My ears are pretty sharp.

Pulao's nonchalant air makes you think she's hiding how she really feels.
