M-5 Total Alert

>

The sound of a giant machine operating comes through the wall...

...What is that? Another royal guard?

That's not it! Something's in the wall...

Executing full alert sequence... Full alert...

...Lucia?!

Before any of you can react, Karenina is transported to another corridor by the rotating trap wall and separated from you.

When did she...

Executing full alert sequence... Full alert...

...?!

Bianca!

Lee immediately notices the trap underneath Bianca's feet, but he still cannot catch her in time...

Be careful, everyone. There are traps all over this place.

Nanami, we have to protect Commandant.

Why did they not trap the commandant...? Forget it.

It is not a bad idea to keep those Constructs away.

Warning... Golden Vortex... power supply... compromised...

(Immediately examines the warning system) That is not possible... Something must be wrong with the warning system...

Pay attention. Something's going on...

The closing trap door on the floor is stuck half-closed with the loss of power.

(Orders the rest of the royal guards) "Send royal guards to the weather engine. Investigate the damaged power system."

(Continues with her order) "Must recover power. We cannot control the virus if the engines are not sustained."

(Notices that Nat is distracted) Now!

(Jumps through the stuck trapdoor) Commandant, this way!

The half-opened door is not big enough for the bigger royal guards to enter.

(After Lee jumps in) ...I'll bring up the rear. Commandant, you go in first.
