EX02-4 Snowy Skirmish

>

Clank... Clank... Clack... Clank...

The massive weight of the mech leaves deep impressions in the snow. Each step is like a toddler learning to walk.

Clank... Clank...

Commandant, how does it feel inside?

[player name]

...

This mechanical unit must be what Rosetta meant by protection.

Just as Captain Staessen finished making arrangements, a polar suit appeared right before your eyes. Rosetta strapped you into the armor without further hesitation.

Because I promised the Gray Ravens that I'd keep you safe.

You'll get used to it. ARU fishermen use these for deep-sea operations.

I wouldn't exactly call myself lucky... I was probably the reason why the transport craft crashed. So, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Yeah, because I really am... Sorry.

No, I don't think it's just superstition, but a type of intuition. Anyway, it never hurts to over-prepare.

...We should have brought more troops with us. We're assigned to a relatively small area, but...

Dammit... You bionical barnacles!

A series of distraught voices interrupts your conversation. You and Rosetta look over to see several armed fishermen fighting with bionics.

This is our land! We'll git 'em back with our bare hands. Git outta 'ere, you hairy dodos!

ROAR!!!

I knew some of 'em will react like this... These fishermen sure are something...

Rosetta brandishes her equipment and rushes to their aid, but halts right as she activates her wings.

Since you're the commandant, it just occurred to me that it might be better to wait for your orders.

Roger, Rosetta. Moving out!

Roger, Rosetta. Moving out!
