Everyone, this is, the proud feature of Venus Splash Park—Morning Star Beach!
Please have fun and relax for now! We will be following the tour schedule and enter the theme park in one hour.
Have fun and relax, huh...
Cathy, are there still hostile mechanoids lurking around? Like the ones that just attacked you?
They are, few. Bad colleagues, recently, occasionally appear.
An open air theme park—quiet, lively, choice for relaxation!
Hmm, few indeed... No more Corrupted signals other than the ones we just defeated.
Unsure. Not enough info to decide if we should stay on high alert or not.
I looked up the records of other Golden Age theme parks, and they don't seem to use that many mechanoids. So that might have just been a coincidence...
Probably because a theme park is meant to accommodate tourists, right?
You only need enough mechanoids to satisfy the needs of human tourists. So you don't need a lot of 'em.
Of course! I happened to be in a base nearby, so I applied to President Hassen to come over!
We recovered some pretty interesting relics from the operation in Kowloong, so Allen's interest for Earth has been growing—
Anyway, I'm just here to play and have fun!
Aaaand I'm not the only "uninvited guest!"
Sophia too.
I was assigned here by President Hassen after returning to my envoy work.
...? Babylonia is okay.
Celica said, "Next vacation might be in who-knows-how-long, so I might as well get everyone in on this."
That's what she said.
Well, it's good that we have more people to play with, right?
DON'T! FORGET! BOUT! ME!
Are y'all planning to leave me behind?!
I heard about your vacation from [player name], and I sped it through with the Prez. Karenina, now here in the name of "reconstruction inspection"!
Karenina stands with her hands planted on her hips, glaring all over. She seems to be searching for someone.
...Where's Lucia? Don't think you can hide from me by going on some vacation! We'll settle this once and for all this time!
Karen's frame... looks a bit different than usual.
I hopped over straight from the work site. No time to switch outta this specialized frame.
I didn't come on vacation to avoid you. I received a mission telling us to "wind down."
I see... So it's a contest of who winds down the best, huh? Alright then!
Whatever it is, and whatever reason you give. You're not getting away this time!
Lucia is Lucia! Even if her memory data's gone all wonky, she's still the same Lucia I'm gonna beat!
Speaking of, I've been to various ruins, but it's my first time at a water park.
We gotta have fun and play in a water park, right? So... how do we do that?
Eat and drink... Only you can do that, right, Commandant?
Well, our sensory receptors can experience taste too.
But it is not accompanied by the human feeling of satiety and pleasure.
...Well, it's still worth exploring this place, I think.
...Yeah, this place does seem worthy of exploration.
Let's see what discoveries lie in store for us!
Agreed!
Might as well. It's not like we're on an urgent mission right now.
A little earlier, on the same beach where the Babylonia crowd is playing around...
...
Looking up at the dark sky, reaching one's hand straight out.
Knowing not what one yearns for, bearing wishes for some things to come true.
...
Miss Luna.
...Must be overthinking it.
Speak.
Miss Alpha is herding the target, and he is moving along the anticipated route.
As for me... The hunting grounds are ready. He will have no qualms dying with the funeral we've prepared him.
You all know what to do. Yes?
Obliterate Shome.
His death shall deter his savior.
Good. Do so.
