The entrance is completely blocked.
The ruins here are convoluted. Plus, a large amount of Corrupted are wandering around. We should consider other plans to advance.
So as to avoid the situation just now. If the commandant was drawn in by that...
It's all your fault. If it weren't for you we'd have finished the mission already.
Karenina.
No, I need to get this out! If they weren't being slowpokes, we wouldn't have been sealed off!
And it's not like the Gray Ravens would get into any trouble even if our mission failed!
Okay, I'm done venting.
I'm terribly sorry. I'm already trying to find a new path forward through the complicated ruins structure. I know I'll find it soon.
Liv, you shouldn't be too harsh on yourself. The Corrupted in the ruins won't be going anywhere.
Ah, no, it's not that, Lee...
Bianca, is Kamui still moving?
No, he's stopped.
From our current available information, likely.
Liv, how much longer do you need?
I'm still analyzing the data. I just need two—no, one more minute!
I'll map the best route ahead.
Thank you.
Hmph, if you'd like to try your best to make up for it, then I'll just sit here and wait. Just one minute, alright?
Karenina lowers herself and sits on a nearby rock. Bianca does so too and sits by her side.
The rippling sand swims through the air, further lowering the visibility of the ruins.
Broken arrows and tools with a metallic sheen lay haphazardly above the dunes, as if hurriedly abandoned by someone.
Even without a Corrupted in sight, it was not silence and relief that befell, but instead the blare of the digging devices.
Liv carefully navigates past the high-disruption machines, and continues the scanning and processing of the environment.
Got it!
Guess you guys aren't all talk.
The ruins here are all structurally connected. But due to the drilling device, many areas have already collapsed and are inaccessible.
In turn, however, we can take advantage of how the drill operates and follow the underground route it created through the hole on the surface, circling back to near where we were.
This is going to cost us more time.
Will there be any risk?
Since none of the ruins are secured... all we can do is try our best to avoid areas that have collapsed or are heavily weathered to minimize the risks.
Let's go. Kamui's coordinates are moving again.
