NO.51 Reinforced Passage

>

You...! Stop, all of you!

...?

Just do as I say!

Everyone takes a few steps back, and stops attacking.

As if in agreement, the advancing Corrupted halt their own movements.

Whoa...

They're programmed to attack only when attacked, huh...

Put your weapons away and walk slowly after me.

Whatever you do, don't attack them...

...No matter what happens, I'm calling in the Purifying Force after this is done.

...?

Our mission is to reclaim this area. Their existence is a threat to the mission.

They're just carrying out their mission!

Salvation for the infected is only through their destruction. Whoever they once were—they no longer are.

You...!

...

I... despise people like you. Think you're all high-and-mighty.

I'm not high-and-mighty. I simply do what must be done.

So what you must do is blot out innocent lives that are no danger to you or me?

I know it's always mission this, mission that for you Babylonians, but do you know how to do anything other than kill whatever's between you and the mission?

Looks like it's time to step in.

Let's complete our mission first, and then decide what to do with them.

...I agree.

Bianca takes a step back as a sign of truce, but Pulao still looks miffed. She glares at us once and continues forward.

I'm here.

Yes.

Before Liv can even move, Pulao's indistinct but unmistakable voice comes drifting over from somewhere ahead.

...Listen, all you have to do is refrain from showing any aggression... and just walk on through!
