>Rebooting... System rebooted.
Mission information updated.
Mission level: High, Hazard: High, Clearance: High, Insufficient mission data.
Please authenticate your identity.
Fingerprint authenticated. Identity: [player name].
Region Number: 049, Region Type: Ruined City, Locational data retrieval failed, unable to download region map.
Mission details confirmation check. Mission already assigned, cannot reassign mission. Please confirm again.
Confirmation failed.
Commandant, what's the matter?
Let me see.
It's a high-security clearance mission, so it's got restrictions. It should be okay now.
Hmm? It says the mission is ongoing. Has it been accepted or checked before?
...
Commandant, I read the mission information.
The mission brief mentions that most individual Constructs sent to City 049 from Babylonia went missing within a day or two.
They seem to have been attacked by an unknown source. Only a few survivors managed to recall in time. Their consciousness data are still under analysis and repair, so there isn't enough info.
HQ wants the Gray Raven squad to investigate City 049 under the command network of Commandant.
From what I can see, the mission is indeed not yet accepted.
Regarding this error about the mission status, can you try to repair it, Lee?
Systems are normal. As for the mission authentication, only Commandant has access to it, there shouldn't be anyone else...
I know what's wrong.
Replaying video information of central control room. Time: Before system reboot.
——!
Commandant! Commandant!
Nanami's got a new shiny frame! I wanted you to see it first!
These super-duper-cooler IR-005 wheels are fitted in by Nanami herself! Hmm... No one's here?
New emergency mission. Mission level: High, Hazard: High, Clearance: High, Insufficient mission data.
High hazard? Are they giving some strange mission to Commandant again?
Please authenticate your identity.
Hm...? Hm-hm...? Nanami needs to put her finger here?
Authentication failed.
PULSE! ARMOR! TRANS—FORM!
...Okay fine, Nanami can't transform.
It's so boring here without Commandant.
Hmmm... Ahah... then... Nanami will just... got it!
Unknown authentication method. Authenticated. Identity: Unknown.
...
Yep, yep. Nanami understands it a hundred and ten percent.
Commandant has to leave for missions again right after returning.
Hm... If that's the case...
Then Nanami will just finish this mission before Commandant comes back! Haha!
Nanami! Preparing for launch!
Ah! Right! Almost forgot! I need to leave a note for the commandant!
Okie...
Pulse Construct, Nanami, blast off!
Replay has ended.
I don't think she understood a single percent of what she read.
I checked the entire system.
...And there's a comment by Nanami written in the underlying core architecture...
Commandant, Nanami's on a mission! Wait for Nanameeee! (<ゝω?)☆
Lee, do you know what that symbol at the end means? I can't find any relevant information in the database, and it might be an important message from Nanami.
No dice. I'll need some time to decipher it.
Understood, Commandant.
My database on the corpus of human culture is not as wide as Nanami's... How can this be...
Commandant, most of the Constructs losing contact moved on their own to investigate war zone 049.
That should be why HQ wants us to move in as a team, with Commandant as well to ensure our safety. But now Nanami's out there on her own...
I agree, though she's uncontrollable, she's still a powerful ally to have on our side.
Commandant... should we go take a look?
But, from the video replay, that new frame of Nanami's—Pulse, seems to be installed with two new acceleration boosters. To catch up with her wouldn't be easy.
