> [Scene: Command Center]**Privaty**Hmph.**Privaty**So this is the Outpost.**Commander**...**Privaty**I've been looking forward to this ever since I heard Rapi was living here...**Anis**Rapi, I heard you two are Rivals. Is that actually true?**Rapi**First I've heard of it...**Privaty**It's even worse than I thought! We might as well be in the Outer Rim.**Commander**!!**Anis**Did she...**Neon**just say what I think she said?**Rapi**Aren't civil servants supposed to be up to their elbows in work? I thought they stayed in the Ark pretty much 24/7.**Rapi**I never thought I'd see the day where she came to the Outpost. What's she doing here?**Privaty**I was hoping to do a little comparison on whose living environment was best.**Privaty**...**Privaty**But one look at this dump is enough to tell me the competition's over before it even began.**Rapi**Spare me your childish antics. Why don't you run along home?**Anis**You take that back! How dare you call this place a dump... and you say it's like the Outer Rim?!**Neon**Yeah! We've got everything we need!**Rapi**?!!**Commander**That's right. We've got everything we need right here.**Rapi**Commander?**Privaty**You're telling me this puny facility could actually stand up against any kind of scrutiny?**Private**Fine the, let me ask you...**Privaty**Surely you all have personal chefs responsible for maintaining your diets and creating healthy balanced meals?**Neon**!!!**Privaty**And of course, there must be a pathway that connects to the Royal Road, right? Otherwise, how are you able to go back and forth to indulge in some shopping whenever the mood strikes you?**Anis**...**Privaty**And it's a given that you have a Repair Center in the very front, yes?**Commander**...**Privaty**What? You mean to tell me you have none of those things?**Privaty**Well, we have all of that and more at the Central Government.**Privaty**Not so confident now, are you?**Anis**Uhh...**Neon**Master what are we going to do? There's no way we can compare to her!*Make a choice*
> 1. > **Commander**You're right, we... have nothing.**Rapi**...**Rapi**Don't let something this insignificant get you down.**Anis**Th-That's right, so what if we don't have all that other stuff...**Anis**...**Anis**Sorry, but it really does stink not having that stuff.**Neon**Master.**Neon**The fact that we've made it this far with so little is a testament to our true strength... right?**Commander**... Sorry.
> 2. > **Commander**Oh yeah?We'll, we have Raptures right at our doorstep!**Rapi**...**Anis**Um... Commander, are you sure that's something we should be bragging about?**Neon**Of course it is! It allows us to strengthen our firepower every day!**Anis**Wha.. you actually agree? You've all lost your marbles.
> **Privaty**I suggest you admit defeat before you end up embarrassing yourself any further.**Privaty**Victory is mine!**Rapi**I've had just about enough of your silly games.**Privaty**What did you say?**Rapi**If you have ever assigned to a mission on the surface, you'll be staying here just like everybody else.**Rapi**Something tells me you'll be singing a different tune when you're living in this "dump" along with the rest of us.**Privaty**!!**Rapi**You know I'm right.**Privaty**...**Rapi**You must have an awful lot of time on your hands, coming to me with something this asinine.**Privaty**Y-You can't talk to me like that!**Rapi**Commander.**Rapi**I can't stand this idea of wasting any more of my time on this busybody.**Rapi**I'm going back.[Rapi left the Commander's room.]**Anis**Busybody indeed.**Anis**I'm outta here.**Neon**Yeah, what they said.**Neon**See you later.[Anis and Neon also left.]**Privaty**...**Commander**Are you okay?**Privaty**I don't need your pity.**Commander**...**Privaty**...**Commander**Let's step outside. I'll show you around the Outpost.**Privaty**I have no interest in a tour of this pathetic hovel!**Commander**Suit yourself. You can stay here on your own then.**Privaty**Fine! I'll go![Scene change: Cafe Sweety Outpost Store]**Milk**Is that the Commander?**Sugar**Hello.[Frima nodded.]**Privaty**There's a café in this district?**Commander**Cafe Sweety Outpost Store, the local watering hole.**Privaty**I see. Somewhere where everyone can take a load off.**Frima**Coffee.**Privaty**Huh?**Frima**?**Milk**Don't mind her, she's not exactly what'd you call a powerful orator.**Milk**So which coffee would you like to have, Privaty?**Milk**Our coffee varieties are all named after our staff members: Milk, Cream, and Sugar.**Milk**Depending on which beverage you order, you server will be the one whom the drink is named after.**Privaty**In that case... I'll have the Sugar coffee.**Milk**Are you sure?**Privaty**What? Something wrong with that?**Milk**Wouldn't you like some Milk Coffee?**Privaty**No, Sugar coffee is fine.**Milk**Fine. Sugar![Sugar stretches out her hand.]**Privaty**What's happening?**Sugar**What do you mean? You have to pay first.**Privaty**Oh, well...**Commander**I'll pay.[Sugar pressed the button on the vending machin as soon as I paid.]**Privaty**!!**Privaty**What is that?**Sugar**I thought a civil servant fromt he Ark would know!**Sugar**THis is a coffee vending machine.**Privaty**I know that!**Privaty**What I mean is, what's it doing in a random coffee shop?**Sugar**We're not just some 'random' coffee shop.**Sugar**This is the Cafe Sweety Outpost Store,**Sugar**a place where Nikkes can come to pass the time and engage in small talk.**Privaty**What is this?[Sugar hands over a cup of fresh coffee.]**Sugar**One specially-made coffee, courtesy of Sugar. Enjoy.**Privaty**You call this special? All you did was press a button on the vending machine!**Privaty**Ah, forget it. I don't even have the strength to get worked up over this.[Privaty takes the coffee.]**Privaty**...**Commander**Have a taste.**Privaty**I fell like I'm being pranked...[With great hesitation, Privaty takes a sip.]**Privaty**!!!**Privaty**I-It's incredible! This really came out of a vending machine?**Sugar**It's good, isn't it?**Privaty**...**Privaty**... It's all right, I guess.**Milk**This coffee is specifically made to accommodate the Nikke palate.**Privaty**The Nikke palate?**Milk**Other than the Commander, this is a Nikke-only establishment.**Milk**So naturally, the coffee here must be suited to the clientele!**Privaty**Coffee made for Nikkes...**Privaty**...**Privaty**Hmph, not bad.[Scene change: Command Center][My visit to the Outpost with Privaty ended.]**Commander**How was your visit to the Oupost? Interesting?**Privaty**...**Privaty**It may be a puny, wretched dump...**Privaty**but it's not bad.**Commander**As long as you're satisfied.**Privaty**Having said that, the facilities here pale in comparison to the Central Government.**Privaty**So don't get too cocky!**Privaty**...**Privaty**A place full of Nikkes...**Privaty**how interesting.**Privaty**I'll have to stop by again in the future.
