Yooooooo look! We're nearing the sea! The sea is BLUE! It's totes different than in the Nighter!
Kamui, can you just stay still in your seat...
You shouldn't drop your guard even on a vacation, otherwise you might not be ready for possible emergencies.
Oh there won't be no stinkin' emergencies! Yeah, else the Prez wouldn't send us on vacation!
Commandant! Get a word through my good Capt., yeah? It's time to reeelaaax!
How could you, Commandant!
...Fine, I'll sit down!
See, Capt.!
Besides, you're already here with us! Relax, relax!
Oh! Look!
...
Your gaze follows the direction Liv points. Everyone gathers around—
—It's the sea.
—The coastline quickly zips past and beneath you, the land fading out of view. The cerulean beyond engulfs the plane's windows.
...
...
...Whoa.
There have been missions near the sea before, but simply coming to see the sea and sea only... is indeed a first.
No wonder everyone is stunned. No one ever had the chance or leisure for sea-viewing in the past.
So pretty... It's my first time seeing the sea like this...
Indeed... It's completely different from the grayish waters back on the Nighter...
Over 70% of Earth's surface is covered by water, so naturally, there'd be many kinds of seas.
Is that so...?
...What?
So! What do we do on a vacation anyways?
I don't think I've had a vacation since I became part of Babylonia.
Play... What do you mean by that, Commandant?
Same. I require a more definite answer.
Doing nothing... We're flying all this way over to the Caribbean to do nothing?
I find it quite difficult to comprehend.
...It does seem like a brain teaser to explain the concept of fun and leisure to Constructs. After all, their purpose is to make war, not play.
But before you reach a conclusion, a sudden bright flash illuminates the porthole, drawing everyone's attention.
Whoa! Wazzat?
A white halo above the sea surface flirts into your eyes, followed by several building outlines.
That's... That kind of looks like the game we played before...
I checked the coordinates... That's Venus Splash Park!
Venus Splash Park...? Feels familiar somehow...
Attention all passengers, we are now nearing the landing site next to Venus Splash Park. Please prepare for landing—
That's Venus Splash Park. Quite a sight, eh?
Supposed to be a water park built by some zaibatsu, but after the virus broke out, everything's been free real estate.
That's the skylight corridor of the park. Some zaibatsu built this whole place, but after the virus broke out, everything's been free real estate.
This place is the dream for a vacation. We'll be landing nearby.
You can't find an airport or a runway in this stretch, so I'll hover near the pier there. You guys can hop off there.
