Why...
Why are you all hurting Miss Rosetta?
Why... Why are you hurting someone who's trying to protect you?!
Quiet, you little brat!
A sailor grabs Evan by his collar.
Bwah—!
You still don't get it, do you?
The Forest Guard were traitors to the Union.
They were given mechanical bodies and exceedingly long lifespans to protect our borders as atonement for their crimes!
But her cowardly remarks just now are just another act of treason against the ARU!
Are you still going to defend her?
Evan!
Enough.
At least return to the forest first, please.
No!
Evan frees himself from the man's grip, and lands on the ground.
Everything I said was true! I saw it with my own eyes!
But I won't leave, Miss Rosetta! I want to stay and fight with everyone else!
Evan...!
What a pity...
Can you smell the stench of the Punishing Virus in the wind? The tide of Corrupted is almost here.
These people are running out of options.
But... you still have a choice.
If the Narwhal dies alongside these humans for nothing...
!
Commandant, Rosetta's M.I.N.D. is beginning to destabilize! Corruption level is surging!
This is bad...
I'll cut straight to the chase.
As long as you help me eliminate the interference and tame the Narwhal, I promise that he will remain unharmed...
Then I will take him and leave this place forever.
Your call.
Alpha turns and hops onto the Narwhal's back.
Commandant, I... we can't let her get away!
Who knows when we'll see her again if we allow her to leave?
Lucia, your new frame has entered the atmosphere. I've adjusted the landing coordinates within proximity of the Narwhal.
Got it!
But right as Lucia takes a step forward—
Stop... right there.
