The Border Commune...
An autonomous organization formed by refugees who fled when a segment of the Arctic defense line collapsed.
The ARU could not bear to let them cross the vast permafrost wasteland and find their own way. So, when they came near New Murmansk, the ARU took them in.
They settled there once Babylonia regained Port Kyaranta.
Yes, but...
But?
But due to certain reasons, it might be a bit difficult to get them to hand over the two icebreakers now.
What do you mean by that?
We tried skirting around the topic a little, but they were firm in their attitude.
Let me go with you. They should be more willing to speak with the leader of the ARU.
Sounds complicated. Care to explain?
...Okay, then.
First things first—the Arctic Route Union is a complex organization.
We've read the files.
When was your intel last updated?
That's classified.
...Forget it. Does your intel mention the Green-Vanostok Line?
That's something under the Arctic branch of the World Government's facility, if I'm not mistaken. What does it have to do with the Arctic Route Union?
...Looks like you don't know.
Just think for a moment. Where do you think the refugees went once the Corrupted destroyed the Green-Vanostock Line from the inside out?
After the World Government escorted them to New Yansk, their signal went offline...
That's preposterous. How could they have gone from New Yansk to New Murmansk...?
I know, I know... That's nearly 6,000 kilometers. The tundra on the Siberian Plain has melted considerably, but it's still not an easy road to travel on...
So once they reached the ARU's settlement... There were only 1,000 survivors.
1,000...? But there were 64,000 refugees that left New Yansk...
There were that many, huh...? I'm sorry to hear that.
