Sergey and Antonov take you and the others near the dock, where two huge red ships are berthed in the shallow water.
The two ships have been reinforced and connected with boards and other structures. A large number of houses and equipment are arranged both on and around the ships.
It seems to be dinnertime. Bright lights are illuminating the ships; shouts and noises can be faintly heard in the distance.
This...
It has been several years since Vardim, the executive officer of Kyaranta, banished them here. How do you think the nearly 2,000 commune members survived the Arctic winter?
Without the two well-preserved and unused reactors on the Moses class ships, we would have turned into ice sculptures.
Electricity, heat, steam... Everything depends on these two reactors.
...
Looking at the conflicted expression on Staessen's face, Antonov takes a hard drag from his freshly lit cigarette.
It's not that we don't trust you... If we could have stayed in Kyaranta, it wouldn't have come to this.
But when that Vardim guy expelled us on the basis of our "aggression" causing equality issues, the ARU stayed silent on the matter.
That's because...
It's alright. We don't blame you. The ARU was busy dealing with Derek at the time.
But it is what it is. Even if we cut Vardim to pieces, that would inevitably harm those in Kyaranta.
So do you understand? We can't just hand over the two Moses class ships so easily.
...I see.
Captain, I agree with them. If you really want us to take the ships, the Forest Guards... would rather continue to live as sinners.
...
So, you're a Construct... Are you a member of the Forest Guards?
Yes, please allow me to express my admiration for your unwavering perseverance.
It's all for the sake of survival...
Indeed, it's all for the sake of survival. We can't ask you to give up your only means of survival just for our sake.
Haha, you two are getting along well, eh...
Everything's just not going to plan...
