...I see, t'was a really close call back there in the space station then. Mr. Watanabe, I thought you were going to ram right into that virus ball.
Same here. That was the plan too.
(It's still a bit early... But we've gotten enough rest, might as well set off.)
At the train station, a group of people in windbreakers are sorting their belongings, unfazed by the Corrupted remains scattered on the ground.
Didn't expect you to contact me. You removed Hassen or something?
If he's that easy, I'd be at the helm, not contacting you Forsakens here. You people are ready, I hope?
Yeah. Just for the record, we aren't cooperating with you. We're only doing this because the Ascendants and the Corrupted are mankind's common enemies.
Hmph, call this whatever you like, as long as you pull your weight.
So, how do we get to that "Kowloong" place? You gave us the coords, but we don't have any flyers left after the space station.
That's why I had you rally here.
Ah, I see... You got Akdilek as well.
As Watanabe is trying to figure out Babylonia's agenda, a speeding train pulls into the station. Before it comes to a complete stop, two Constructs, Changyu and Sophia, jump off.
...Huh. Y'know, we've been frequent trade partners, but this is my first time seeing the Forsaken boss in person. Nice to meetcha, old man.
I'm not your old man!
Changyu, you have to hold your tongue like what Jamilah said. You'll hurt his feelings.
...
I apologize on behalf of my two bodyguards. They're not very good with words.
So that's how it is? Akdilek's in cahoots with Babylonia and getting all prickly about us Forsakens, all thanks to that little train rendezvous?
T'was a diplomatic joke to lighten the mood. Surely you understand, right?
A bunch of rotten schemers you all are... I said it before and I'll say it again—you people should be rounded up and ruled with force.
Then you'll have to redeploy some of your troops in Kowloong to keep us in place.
Hmph... Anyhow, if you'll excuse me, I still have to attend to my commander duties. Please hold up your end of the bargain and send reinforcements to Kowloong.
Nikola... Quite the polar opposite of Hassen, hm? Interesting.
Well then, Mr. Watanabe, leader of the Forsaken, listen. All carriages starting from No.5 are yours to use. Since we're short-handed at the moment, you'll have to move the equipment by yourselves.
...Is this another joke of yours? What's with the bunch of Corrupted on the back of the carriage?
Urgh!
Ah. Must be the weather.
Well, since you have nothing better to do right now, could you help clean the carriage? You did hitch a ride after all.
Sophia, Changyu, let's get back in the train.
Understood.
Uh... what do we do now, Mr. Watanabe?
Sigh, what else? Grab your stuff... Let's get cleaning!
