Let's head in.**Consigliere**Boss.**Consigliere**Red Grass is apparently purchasing large amounts of incendiary devices.**Rosanna**Red Grass... that's one of the new gangs, isn't it? What are they gathering bombs for?**Rosanna**Are they orchestrating a terror attack?**Consigliere**Hard to say.**Consigliere**We're not sure at this point,**Consigliere**but their activity has been very suspect as of late.**Rosanna**Such as?**Consigliere**Their pockets aren't nearly deep enough to buy that many explosives.**Rosanna**What is it then?**Rosanna**Have they got a connection in the Ark footing in the bill?**Consigliere**It could very well be possible.**Consigliere**Whatever the reason, our main consideration should be**Consigliere**how much of a danger it does or doesn't pose to you.**Rosanna**Why are you getting yourself so worked up over something so trivial?**Rosanna**It's not like they're the only ones in the Outer Rim fond of playing with bombs.**Rosanna**But I hear you, I'll be careful.[\*Screech-\*]**Rosanna**Hello lady, I'm com...![Beep-!]**Rosanna**!!!!**Consigliere**Boss, get back![\*Beep beep beep beep-\*]**Rosanna**Agh!**Rosanna**This may be more dangerous than I thought...[Scene: Black][\*Bang-\*][An explosion occurred.]

I hope you can understand.**Commander**Sounds like serious business.**Sakura**It is.**Sakura**The situation is getting pretty precarious,**Sakura**so please understand my position.**Commander**I understand.**Sakura**I appreciate it.**Sakura**Also,**Sakura**no matter what happens,**Sakura**DO NOT come to the Outer Rim right now.**Commander**Not even for a little bit?**Sakura**No.**Sakura**Don't come at all.**Sakura**If you need to see us,**Sakura**then send us a message.**Sakura**We'll come to you.**Commander**Okay.[Blabla app closes.]**Commander**...[\*Crashh-\*]**Commander**??[\*Zing-\*]**Rosanna**...**Commander**Rosanna...?[\*Splat-\*][Rosanna collapses to the ground.]**Commander**Rosanna!

MaryCommanderRosanna

> [Scene: Command Center]**Mary**Hmm...**Commander**How is she?**Mary**She's pretty roughed up. It looks like a bomb went off right in front of her.**Commander**A bomb!?**Mary**Don't worry.**Mary**The treatment is working as intended.**Mary**Thankfully, I had a part that matched her specific model, so I was able to treat her easily.**Mary**As long as she gets some rest, she won't have any major issues.**Commander**You're a lifesaver, Mary.**Mary**Don't mention it.**Mary**Well, if that's everything, then I'll be off.[Mary begins to walk outside, but then stops.]**Mary**... Commander.**Mary**I know it's not easy for you.**Mary**but if things start getting dangerous, please take care of yourself.**Mary**If you get hurt even superficially, come to the hospital at once.**Mary**Is that clear?**Commander**... I'll try.**Mary**Good. See you around, Commander.[Mary leaves the Commander's room.]**Commander**...**Commander**A terrorist bombing...[I head towards Rosanna...][\*Click-\*]**Rosanna**Who is it?**Commander**Rosanna?**Rosanna**!!**Rosanna**Mister...?**Rosanna**What are you doing here?**Commander**Well, this is the Commander's Room.**Rosanna**The Comma...[Rosanna looks around.]**Rosanna**Dang.**Rosanna**You weren't kidding.**Rosanna**Jeez, did I get knocked out with one puny bomb?**Rosanna**How'd I end up here?**Commander**Are you okay?**Rosanna**... Mister.**Rosanna**How long have I been out?**Commander**About half a day, I think.**Rosanna**Damn! It's too late now.[Rosanna flips her hair over her shoulder and bolts upright, looking agitated.]**Rosanna**Get ready to leave, Mister.**Commander**Right now?**Rosanna**That's right. We're going to want to blend in,**Rosanna**so I'd suggest ditching the military uniform.**Commander**Why do we need to blend in?**Rosanna**I don't have time to explain everything in detail.**Rosanna**Just hurry up and change.**Rosanna**At least take off your jacket. You're practically broadcasting to the entire world you're part of the military.[Rosanna yanks roughly on my jacket sleeve.]**Commander**Alright! I'll change.[\*Knock knock-\*]**Rosanna**!!**Commander**!!**Rosanna**...**Commander**Who is it?[Nothing can be heard from outside.]**Rosanna**...**Commander**...**Rosanna**Mister, once that door open, duck down.**Commander**What are you going to do?**Rosanna**Don't worry.**Rosanna**I won't let myself get ambushed twice.[Rosanna picks up her gun.][\*Zing-\*]**Rosanna**Get down![I crouch down as fast as I can.][\*Tududududududu-!\*][\*Bang-!\* \*Bang-!\*]**???**Ugh...![Rosanna hits her mark, striking one of the mysterious assailants in the shoulder.]**Rosanna**Let's go![Scene: Black][Rosanna grabs my hand and leads me out of the Commander's Room.]

> [Scene: Elevator][While dodging a hail of bullets, Rosanna and I eventually reach the elevator leading to the Ark.]**Rosanna**...**Commander**...**Rosanna**Go figure.**Rosanna**I made you take your jacket off right before we had to book it. You must be freezing.**Commander**I'm fine with it.**Rosanna**Well, I'm not.**Rosanna**We all know how sexy you look rain-drenched,**Commander**Any chance you can fill me in on what's going on?**Rosanna**...**Commander**What happened?**Rosanna**It's classified.**Rosanna**Telling you more will only get you mixed in deeper.**Commander**I think I'm already in deep enough as is.**Rosanna**That may be, but it's still safer not to know everything.**Commander**I've already had gunmen try to take me out.**Rosanna**...**Rosanna**\*Sigh\*... You're right. You deserve to know why you're being subjected to all this madness.[Scene: Flashback, Outer Rim]**Rosanna**Someone planted a bomb at the restaurant I frequent.**Rosanna**The moment I opened the door, kablammo!**Rosanna**The entire place was blown sky high.**Commander**Who did it?[Scene: Elevator]**Rosanna**Not sure.**Rosanna**My list of enemies**Rosanna**is a mile long.**Rosanna**Having said that,**Rosanna**I do have some guesses.**Rosanna**I don't know how far they're willing to go,**Rosanna**so all I can do is hypothesize.**Commander**How far they're willing to go? What to do you mean?**Rosanna**I don't know if it's just me they're after,**Rosanna**the Underworld Queen,**Rosanna**or...**Rosanna**the entire Outer Rim.**Commander**!!**Rosanna**Depending on which of those possibilities it is, my response will have to be different.**Rosanna**Although there is one uniting fact: no matter what, I'm gonna give them a taste of their own medicine.**Commander**Are your subordinates okay?**Rosanna**...**Rosanna**Not sure.**Rosanna**So many bombs went off in quick succession,**Rosanna**that we all got separated.**Commander**...!![Rosanna stares outside the elevator.]**Rosanna**If they die, then that's just how it is.**Commander**They're alive, trust me.**Rosanna**... Yeah.**Commander**...**Rosanna**...

Rosanna Commander

> **Rosanna**We'll arrive at the Ark soon.**Commander**Got it.**Rosanna**Mister.**Rosanna**When the elevator arrives, duck behind the button panel.**Rosanna**They might have some men waiting for us on the other side of the doors.**Commander**Okay.**Rosanna**Don't worry.**Rosanna**No matter what happens.**Rosanna**I'll make sure you get home safely.**Commander**You don't need to work so hard to protect me.*Make a choice*
> 1. > **Commander**I know how to shoot a gun.**Rosanna**Is that right?**Rosanna**You know your way around a firearm?**Rosanna**That's a relief.
> 2. > **Commander**I've dealt with countless Raptures before.**Rosanna**Raptures? What does this have to...**Rosanna**Ah, I get it.**Rosanna**Raptures are way more terrifying than humans.
> 3. > **Commander**Our missions up on the surface are often matters of life and death.**Rosanna**Hehe, you've got a point there.**Rosanna**You're always being sent into the fray, and you always come out the other end intact.**Rosanna**I forgot about that.
> **Rosanna**Okay.**Rosanna**I won't coddle you so much.**Rosanna**But still, don't run out of the elevator.**Rosanna**You might end up getting perforated.**Commander**Noted.**Rosanna**Good. Get ready.**Rosanna**We're about to arrive.[\*Creek-\* \*Boom\*][The elevator door opens.][Scene: Outside]**Rosanna**...**Commander**...[Nothing happened.]**Rosanna**...**Commander**...**Rosanna**There's nobody?**Rosanna**Huh, guess I got all worked up for nothing.**Commander**They might be further up ahead, so stay frosty.**Rosanna**I hear you, but we can't be on high alert 24/7.**Rosanna**Let's just head out.[Rosanna and I tenatively take a few steps out of the elevator.]**Rosanna**...[Rosanna carefully examines the front of the elevator.]**Rosanna**... Phew.**Rosanna**I don't think there's anyone here.**Commander**Good to know.**Rosanna**Still, don't let your guard down.**Rosanna**Whenever it's quiet like this, there's usually...[The moment Rosanna takes one step out of the building...][\*Tadadadada-!\*]**Rosanna**See what I mean?[\*Bang-!\*]**???**\*Argh-!\*[\*Bang bang-!\*]**???**Agh![All the enemies who attempted to ambush us fall to the ground.]**Rosanna**Sneaky little buggers were in hiding.**Commander**...**Rosanna**Hmmm.**Rosanna**How should we do this?**Rosanna**We can't just barge into their hideout.**Rosanna**And it feels a bit premature to return to the Outer Rim at this point...**Commander**What if we contact Sakura?**Rosanna**Sakura?**Commander**She got in touch with me.**Rosanna**When?**Commander**Just before you arrived at the Commander's room.**Rosanna**... Okay.**Rosanna**That's not a bad idea.**Rosanna**She might be able to explain to us what exactly is going on.**Rosanna**Can I borrow your phone for a second?**Commander**Are you going to call her?**Rosanna**Yes.**Rosanna**I'd rather call her myself than sit there with my thumb up my butt**Rosanna**watching you two text.**Commander**...[I give my cell phone to Rosanna.][Blabla app opens.]**Commander**Hey**Sakura**??**Sakura**Commander-kun?**Commander**Sakura.**Sakura**Is this Rosanna?**Commander**Yes.**Sakura**Why are you using Commander-kun's Bla account?**Sakura**What happened to your phone?**Commander**What else? I broke it.**Sakura**... Whatever. Anyway, where are you?**Commander**In front of the Ark elevator.**Sakura**You took Commander-kun to the Ark at a time like this?**Sakura**I'll send you the location of my safe house.**Sakura**Make your way there.**Sakura**And give the phone back to Commander-kun.**Commander**Maybe I will, maybe I won't.[Blabla app closes.]**Rosanna**Thank youuuu.[Rosanna hands me my phone back.]**Rosanna**We better make our way to that safe house**Rosanna**Sakura was talking about.

Rosanna Commander

> [Scene: Outer Rim][After leaving Sakura's safe house, we maneuvered over our way through the Ark's back alleys.][After what felt like a long time, we stopped before a small alleyway in front of a huge storage facility.]**Rosanna**That's where we need to go.**Rosanna**You see that warehouse?[I stare at where Rosanna is pointing.][I can see two guards standing in the front of the warehouse,][and several more armed guards inside.]**Commander**We need to find your way inside that place.**Rosanna**Yep.**Commander**Just the two of us?**Rosanna**Yep. Doesn't it sound like fun!?**Commander**...**Rosanna**C'mon, don't be a scaredy-cat.**Rosanna**It'll be fine.**Rosanna**You're not gonna die or anything.**Commander**How are you planning on getting past the guards?**Rosanna**Well,**Rosanna**since you asked...**Rosanna**How are your acting skills?*Make a choice*

I'm starting to get seriously worried.**Rosanna**Ha! Whatever happened to that big brave man act you were giving me earlier?**Rosanna**Honestly, you don't have to worry.**Rosanna**This is just a ruse to make things move a little smoother.**Rosanna**Your presence alone**Rosanna**is a big help to me.**Commander**It is?[Rosanna gives me a big smile.]**Rosanna**Let me tell you something.**Rosanna**Of all the humans and Nikkes that I've interacted with,**Rosanna**there's only been one person I've ever entrusted with something like this.**Rosanna**You're now the second.**Commander**Who was the first?**Rosanna**The boss before me.**Rosanna**A despicable man who sold the brain of his non-biological daughter**Rosanna**to prolong his life by any means possible.**Rosanna**What he didn't expect was for her to turn into Nikke and chop off his head.**Commander**...**Rosanna**What I'm saying, Mister,**Rosanna**is don't betray me.**Rosanna**Or else I'll never forgive you.**Commander**If there was ever a chance of that, I wouldn't have followed you to begin with.**Rosanna**!!**Rosanna**Hehe, I suppose you're right.**Rosanna**You're not that kind of guy.**Rosanna**It doesn't matter who you're going up against,**Rosanna**you're someone who places trust in others.
