With the information from the captain, everyone hurried to the special research lab used to create and research humanoid-hybrid Constructs.
I can't believe the "Amberia" that brought destruction upon the ARU still lives...
According to the Captain... most of those we caught back then were just scapegoats.
While the ones in the know, the ones that decided to hide Amberia... They all got off scot-free and kept this a secret until now.
...
While preparing for the fight, Simon carefully analyzes the intelligence reports, while Diana keeps her gaze fixed on the distant horizon.
Commandant, while we have the time, let me perform maintenance on your Polar Soldier.
Just a little. Sometimes the kids will play with them while the fishermen aren't looking.
To the Forest Guards, this place is the beginning and the end. There's no need to worry about Diana. She can handle herself.
Rosetta deactivates her hover mode and kneels in the snow, meticulously inspecting every seam and joint of her outer armor for even the smallest scratch.
You sure are amazing, Rosetta. Not only can you fight, you're also quite the skilled mechanic.
What can I say? I'm just trying my best.
It's more than that. You must be real talented. Me, I can't even hold a candle to you.
I'm just trying my best. I always run into trouble, so I gotta make sure I'm prepared for anything.

With the preparations complete, you continue on until you reach the front gate of the research lab.
You see a dilapidated gate before you. The wall is covered in varying degrees of damage. Looking through some of the busted windows, you see the vacant interior.
The building appears to be on the verge of collapse.
What's going on here...? Why are there bionics here?
You expected some stray bionics, but not a situation like the one before your eyes.
ROAR!
Bionics are tunneling in and out of the unguarded building, emptying it of research equipment and parts.
Stop where you are, bionics!
If so, their actions before don't make much sense... Forget it. We don't have time for this.
Boss, we gotta stop them!
Diana, there's got to be some roadblock devices nearby!
Yeah. We can activate them, and it should stop the bionics in their tracks.
But looks like some of them already ran into the research lab.
Leave 'em to me and Diana. They can't outrun us, Commandant. Think you can handle activating the roadblocks?
If I remember correctly, they should be deployed around several locations with natural obstacles.
We can handle these stragglers.
ROAR!!!
Bionics are charging into the building!
Let's get moving, Commandant!
Roger!
