## Conflict: A

> **Rapi**Did you really just take up your post yesterday**Commander**Is something wrong?**Rapi**How can a complete amateur be sent to replace a commander killed in the line of duty...**Rapi**What were they thinking?**Commander**...What?**Rapi**...Nothing.**Rapi**Anyway you're the commander of this squad from here on out. if you don't have any objections I'd like to go over our current course of action.**Commander**No problem.**Rapi**Okay, I'll brief you.**Rapi**46 hours ago we lost communication with a Nikke Squad that was patrolling this area.**Rapi**They went completely dark, so we decided to send out a search party.**Rapi**During our search, an accident resulted in the death of our now-former Commander.**Anis**The only problem is that the deceased commander was the one who knew the coordinates to our destination.**Anis**You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?**Commander**No, I don't.**Anis**I figured as much.**Marian**I know the coordinates.**Anis**Yeah I figured that too.**Anis**... Huh?**Marian**That information was input into my system when I was sent out on this operation.**Marian**I'll take the lead follow me.**Anis**Oh... Okay.**Marian**And you, are you called Rapi?**Rapi**...?**Marian**You failed to protect your former commander. Who are you to call someone else a novice?**Marian**They're putting their lives on the line just like we are.**Marian**If I ever hear you talk like that again it'll be the last time.**Anis**Whoa, let's settle down. No ned to get all riled up.**Rapi**Fine, I misspoke. I'm sorry.**Marian**Don't apologize to me. apologize to the commander.**Rapi**I'm sorry.**Commander**I'm okay.**Rapi**...**Anis**They didn't get themselves into a tizzy?**Anis**Definitely not an ordinary Commander.

## Conflict: B

...

are you okay? you don't look so good/

I don't know what it is, but I feel a bit.

let me do some maintenance take off your top.

Wh-What? right here?

is there a problem?

what I mean is the commander is right there

you don't actually think the commander sees you that way do you? relax to them we're just emotionless Fighting Machines. the last thing they're thinking of when they see us is sex, trust me. isn't that right Commander?

...

well well so you do see us that way! interesting!

I'm fine. it's probably just a small malfunction due to these new surroundings.

take it off

!!

don't make such a will you

I I said I'm okay

in the event of a malfunction it is required that we conduct the necessary repairs this isn't an option

I see

good all right Commander please turn the other way

Soon After

everything seems okay

I told you

let's keep going

hey I saw that

just kidding

## Shifty

do you copy

art controlled a surface do you copy ruffy anise

communication this is Robbie Shifty do you copy

about time you got through let's just situation on your end

the new Commander has arrived the operational coordinates have been confirmed and we're proceeding as planned

excellent we had quite the scare back there when we lost contact with the conveyor

you took the transport ship straight into the middle of an enemy camp what were you thinking

what

it's completely obliterated with friends like you who needs enemies

Raptors in that area have no anti-air weapons

what

Shifty can you send me the data for the transport ship's Black Box

sure once im done analyzing it it wont take long

okay thanks

just a sec well then hello there I'm Shifty an operator from the art intelligence Department I will be assisting you throughout the operation from here on out nice to be working with you

Me too.

yep

## Bandage: A

high class energy detected ahead most likely Lord class

what what's something that big doing here

I suggest we retreat

what about the missing knee case

we leave them behind

only 0.2 percent of Nikes who go missing are ever recovered you of all people should know these search parties are just for show

well I can't pretend like they don't exist either

yes they are the ones who lead high-level raptures their combat capabilities are unparalleled judging from the simulation our chances of success is high but there's a high probability of us sustaining heavy losses and at 24.35 probability of total annihilation

Commander should we pull out

then please give the order that's all we need we follow the Commander's orders no matter what

yes commander

Commander you do realize that this could be a suicide mission right so long as our brains remain intact we need case are nowhere soft it's a different story when it comes to humans you're fine with that

okay understood

Commander please walk behind me I'll protect you

## Bandage: B

battle over damage report

minimal damage sufficient ammo remaining

same here

some damage to the left clavicle heavy damage to the lower right projector abrasion to the left eye caused by Straight bullet no irregularities at identifying targets overall damage rate is 17.05 percent still combat capable

very well

are you sure that's not too high

it doesn't matter we're almost there let's pick up the pace

Commander

Commander what on Earth are you doing that kind of thing is useless to a nikke

no it works

it feels like I'm being healed from the inside

...

...

Commander I could use another bandage here as well thank you the pain is gone already.

## Red Eye: A

we're here

no sign of any Vanguard

they're here

what there's nothing here

let's look around

hmm what is she doing

rappy I finished analyzing the black box from the transport ship I'm sending you the report

yes commander

Marion stop right there

Roger

you shot down the transport ship

what

yes it does

there were two explosions inside the conveyor they were caused by the explosives met for this operation which would never go off without an external detonation signal that detonation signal originated from you Marion

yes it does what are you trying to achieve

we're here

start talking or else I'll put a bullet between your eyes

we're here we're here we're here over here

she's been corrupted. when did this happen

tsk just my luck

her Central nerve was taken by the raptures

over here

she's sending out a distress signal stop her

I've got her in my sights please give the order

i'm detecting a high-class energy in front of you those vibrations there blacksmith

Codename blacksmith it's a tyrant.

They capture nikkes on the surface and use them for Rapture parts

it absorbed her into its body

I'm willing to bet the same thing happened to those missing Vanguard troops you may be able to save them even Marion

what are you talking about after the blacksmith captures Nikki's it keeps them for a while before doing anything judging by when they disappeared there may still be some time left what do you want us to do

do you have to add let's just get out of here

your orders please

yes commander

are you out of your mind we're gonna die

anis the least we can do is try for them

have you found it

I don't know yet

okay let's give it a shot then

Shifty please assist

oh okay well first off the simulation results are

Commander engaging with tyrant003 blacksmith now engaging

## Red Eye: B

(Animation)

considering there's only a 12.4 of success I'd say that was a job well done

I'll check the survivors no survivors from the Vanguard all the parts have been ransacked

what about Marion

still alive

over here here

this is bad her brain has already been corrupted

we all know the rules

any nikke that has sustained brain damage is to be disposed of according to the law the execution must be carried out by the commander

this pistol is for when we must self-terminate humans can use them as well just get in close

perhaps I should do it

no we nikkes cannot execute our own kind

no time to hesitate Commander if we don't get this done she will probably become an irregular soon

Commander

over here Commander Commander thank you for your bandage

no signs of life

official confirmation of death our investigation mission is complete head back to the ark

damn it

## Return to the Ark

Shifty Marion what's going on that corruption code implanted into Marion's brain must be acting as a navigator it guides Nikes to the blacksmith's location that way they're having their food delivered straight to their doorstep but she was acting completely normal before she went haywire that's probably because of the commander nikkei's highest priority is protecting their commander and obeying any orders given I'm willing to bet the problem started once she met the commander that's when our priorities were shifted out of order she was completely defenseless when in close proximity to the blacksmith that means the corruption was quite severe when did it start what when was she first corrupted during the operation I said ah yes you said she was the one that sabotaged the transport ship right he must have already been corrupted at that point and that transport ship came from the ark the Aegis barrier's broken [Music] no the Aegis barriers are strong they'd pick up any corruption in an instant rappy what are you trying to say well [Music] that concludes my report you mean they took down a blacksmith a novice Commander with three knee case all in a single day however when he came with if I didn't know any better I'd say you're starting to develop a sense of humor shifting [Music] no that won't be necessary I would however like to meet this Commander make an appointment for this afternoon Maria Alan Foreman you do that anything else ah yes have the other me case who took part in the operation come along as well ensure that they're armed HQ is calling us in may I not this again what so few of you and yet you managed to take down a blacksmith astonishing keep fighting the good bite my loyal and most subservient of all government left dogs it's always the same old routine well we did perform exceptionally well during this last mission let's get this over with the sooner we go the sooner we can leave really what an odd request

Deputy Chief huh so nice to meet you all I'm Anderson the deputy chief of the central government command we can dispense with the formalities address me however you wish [Music] like nails on a chalkboard Anderson will do just fine I called you in today because I wanted to conduct a little test nothing too difficult you can relax from here go straight to the simulation room there will be someone there to fill you in that is all um you called us here just for that anise what I'm just asking I simply wanted to meet you in person no other reason I believe we're done here [Music] one moment [Music] I suppose I have time to answer one question just one Commander this is not the place to be asking such questions Marion doesn't ring a bell oh yes the other Nikkei who fought with you right I heard she was destroyed I'm terribly sorry but I'm afraid I have nothing for you we're conducting an investigation into the operation as we speak the only thing we are certainly is that the Aegis barriers are impenetrable now if you don't mind I have other business to attend to pay you let's say someone did corrupt one of your knee caves maliciously let's say they were so powerful that you wouldn't stand a chance against them tell me what would you do oh you'd make them pay is that it what could a mere Commander like you possibly do I'd very much like to see how you'd make them pay too bad I'm on a tight schedule you may leave now I'm sure we'll meet again

Her Space I'm Ingrid your coach for today welcome to the simulation room this is where I'll be putting your combat skills to the test Commander what is this all about having our combat skills tested after a mission I've never heard of such a thing they usually do this sort of thing beforehand and isn't that the CEO of Elysian what is she doing here this is a hobby of hers no Chit Chat when I'm talking next you will face a battle simulation in the simulation room I can tell you you better not be lacks and think that it's just a simulation the simulation room is the ark's pride and joy you can experience combat and reality here not only can It simulate all kinds of real battle scenarios but you can also fight against virtual raptures tactics will be essential to handle these various situations in battle so go and complete the test tactically that is all I have a question no questions allowed before we begin the training I need to know your squad name tell me your squad name confirmed then Squad looking forward to your superb combat skills

The Trial the operation results have already been reported she told us to wait here Mappy just like she said it's a test apparently our performance was good enough to arouse suspicion you do poorly they give you a hard time you do well same thing you can't win Commander do you know anything about this well it's not like it's a bad thing doing our part for the cause and all that jazz I suppose so so when now do we just wait well how'd it go I can't believe it really a complete and utter disaster if they were really out on the field they'd all have been killed in less than three minutes oh most unexpected indeed Matt's putting it lightly could it be that they only Excel in actual combat only one way to find out we have plenty of missions to send them on take your pick whichever is most difficult the one in the coastal city is this the entire team [Music] yeah yeah what a good little doggy you are gotta please your master am I right anise sorry that was out of line who's the assigned Commander [Music] unusual what are they up to foreign they never assign the same Commander to anike Squad multiple times in a row things tend to go south it usually results in infighting and the team eventually falls apart that's why they've enforced this rule for so long you end up with commanders executing Nikes on the spot sometimes even the other way around it's precisely to avoid these kinds of catastrophes that a commander in any given Nikkei Squad can only cooperate once every three missions so this is truly bizarre they're trying to get rid of us they want to send us up to the service and have us all killed without anyone noticing but what reason could they possibly have for doing that you you cared me where did you come from I heard there's a new Mission so I came to assist if they wanted you dead you'd be dead already they wouldn't bother with sending you back up to the surface in other words this is a normal operation normal as can be if it's an order I'll follow it but Commander are you okay with all this me now where'd all that confidence come from all of a sudden well we trust you too Commander for the time being that is let's head up

To the Surface heading up to the surface yet again what did I ever do to deserve this wait someone's coming hello my name is neon Ike from Elysian I was sent to take probation meet you Shifty did you know about this I got a Personnel transfer notice just now Commander did you receive anything about this [Music] why would they suddenly add another member something's not right type of Nikkei are you um yes I believe I'm a spy huh you could instructed me to do my utmost in assisting you after which I am to report back to her is what a spy does know I guess so I've always wanted to be a spy I'm looking forward to working with you all I'll try to be the Best Buy I can with pleasure are you sure this isn't going to be a problem down the line well
