——!
War zone 049, landing successful!
The viral density is so high here, hmm... Oh, the density differs from layer to layer...? Lower layer's pretty low... I wonder what that layer's for?
——!
Giant tunnel found! Wow, it's so long! Hahaha, Nanami knows what this is! It must be the transportation of early humans!
Hello there! Anybody home?
——!
Hmm... The viral density is low underground, but the signals are all blocked off. Even Corrupted detection's gone all wonky.
——!
Right! Commandant said that we need to make mission records! Um, let's see... no Constructs, no parts that resemble Construct remains...
Record: Clean as a whistle!
Nanami skates around the tunnel.
Okay! The tunnel's all checked out, it's time to go up!
Don't go up! Where did you come from?! The virus is strong up there during daytime!
Hm?
...Wait... No, you're a... Construct?
Ding ding ding! A live human found!
...
Why are you running away?
...Go away.
Hey, why do you want Nanami away?
Right, Commandant said that making new friends is a good thing! Are you mad because we aren't friends yet? Then let's be friends!
...
Amy, it's time to go back!
Not much of a haul... but it's turning night soon and it's going to be dangerous.
Huh, this is...?
A Construct...?
Just a passing through Construct, Nanami... from Babylonia!
...Babylonia? Just you...?
She...
The one and only child of the sun! Na—na—mi!
Ah...
That's trouble. When night falls in City 049, that's when all the Corrupted come out. Are you on a mission? Can you prolong it?
Yep yep! Nanami's here to find out what happened to the lost Constructs!
I can... but Nanami would like to finish this mission soon and go see Commandant instead...
Lost Constructs? You've seen the place. We've almost scoured the entirety of it, and there's not a thing that can move but you.
When did they go missing? There might be somebody else that saw them... If there are strange happenings, people would report it to our leader, so maybe you can...
Hey... leader!
...Leader.
Leader! We found a friend from Babylonia! She's a Construct!
...
She's looking into something about missing Constructs, leader, can we help her out?
The sensor's saying that viral density is rising nearby, we should...
How's your haul today?
Leader, we...
This area.
This place is already dead. Not a single ammo shell, not even waste metal. Even scavengers cannot survive on this barren land.
...
City 049 is dangerous at night. The Corrupted come in groups and the darkness covers their trails.
Even if you're a Construct, you won't stand a chance at night.
I'm Garrison, the leader of the scavengers here.
If we are new friends, then...
We'd help you investigate, but to find any information on this will take us time.
Before we have any results, we will provide for anything you might need.
The sun's setting. Time to go back to camp.
