David Kenneth Lacey
Inside of the Capital of Saphirus, an enormous AA E-Dreadnought will be seen to be hovering above the right side of the city. As it hovers, on the intercoms, Captain Irena's voice will be heard all across the city, to which below, many civilians who were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the AA E-Dreadnought Mk-II will stand in horror, as Captain Irena speaks.
Captain Irena Requiem (intercoms)
Attention civilians of the Confederation capital. My name is Captain Irena Requiem of the 4th AA space fleet. Please listen to what I have to say.
Confederation Civilians
...
As the civilians cower in fear at the enormous AA E-Dreadnought, all the way back at the Blue Aphrodite at the military base, Captain Heaven and Arbiter Crystal will be seen. They will not be worried, as they will be currently on the line with Phillip-but their exact words will not be heard at this time, as their mouths will simply move to indicate that they are speaking to Captain Phillip. Outside, Captain Irena continues.
Captain Irena Requiem (intercoms)
Right now, I am under orders to seize control of the Pinnacle Department within this area, as it holds an item that my superiors are interested in. Should you all comply and allow me to acquire this item peacefully, then I can promise you all that no harm will come to any of you or your capital.
Confederation Civilians
...
The civilians look confused and unsure, to which Captain Irena then finishes up.
Captain Irena Requiem (intercoms)
I also hope that no military vessles at the base on the other side of the capital will try anything funny at this time, as should any ship or Superior Weapon move from their current positions, then we will consider that a forfeit of all of the civilians's lives on this side of the capital, to which we will be forced to ensure that we complete our mission today-by ANY means.
After this, Captain Irena then cuts off her intercoms. On her bridge, she is then seen to activate another comms device, to which she speaks.
Captain Irena Requiem
...Idris? Are you, Faith and Grace ready to launch yet?
A screen transition later, within one of the many hangers of the Tenebris Root, General Idris, Faith and Grace are seen to be turning on their Superior Weapons. Behind them, many AA Blockades, AA Frontiers and even a few Superior AndroIs also turn on, to which inside of General Idris's cockpit, he then speaks into his comms.
General Idris Requiem
Yes, Irena. We are ready to descend below. Please open the bay doors of hanger #32.
Back with Captain Irena, she speaks.
Captain Irena Requiem
Yes, brother. Please be careful down there.
With that, Irena presses a button on her motorcycle-style captain's chair, to which back at the hanger where Idris, Faith and Grace are, the bay doors in front of them open, to which the area below them is then seen. The Pinnacle Department is seen below, to which moments later, General Idris, Faith and Grace make the first move. The move their D1 Divides down to the Department from above, to which as they descend, many AA Blockades, AA Frontiers and AA Superior AndroIs also follow them down.
As the AA forces land below, they instantly take control of the Department and its surrounding area. As this happens, many civilians in the area run for their lives in fear, but none of the AA Superior Weapons harm any of them, as they instead focus their efforts on the Department. Now, General Idris, Faith and Grace move their Divides closer to the Department, to which once close Idris then uses his Divide to smash a section of the building-where he, Faith and Grace can then enter the compound. After this, General Idris, Faith and Grace then depart from their Divides, to which as they land, many E-AndroIs run up to them and then one of them speaks to General Idris.
E-AndroIs 01
...General Idris Requiem? What are your orders?
General Idris speaks.
General Idris Requiem
Split up and head into this building, where if you encounter resistance, shoot to wound-but do NOT kill...yet.
E-AndroIs
Understood...?
The E-AndroIs wait for General Idris to continue speaking, to which he does so.
General Idris Requiem
Once you've wounded someone, you can approach them and force them to tell you where they are keeping the Genetic Code. Once we know of it's location and how to acquire it, there will be no need to "play nice" anymore. Is that understood?
E-AndroIs
Yes, Sir!
General Idris now looks to 4 E-AndroIs to his left. He speaks to them.
General Idris Requiem
...You four. Come with myself, Faith and Grace and protect us from anyone who resists inside.
E-AndroIs
Yes!
With that, the E-AndroIs then head into the hole in the building that General Idris made, while four of them remain with General Idris, Faith and Grace. After a few moments, General Idris, Faith and Grace then head into the Department with their protection in front of them, to which elsewhere...
Back with Heaven and Crystal, Heaven now speaks to the comms in front of her.
Captain Heaven Risingstar
...Did you get all of that, Phillip?
Heaven asks, to which a ways behind the mountains of the Confederation capital, the Hydra Noon is seen to descend and then start to make its way around the mountains of the Capital. Captain Phillip speaks.
Captain Phillip Kai
Yes, Heaven. I'll do my best to stay undetected, as I move around the Capital. Get ready for my signal, alright.
With that, the Hydra Noon begins to move slowly around the mountains that surround the Capital from below. Back on the Blue Aphrodite, Heaven and Crystal are seen to speak to another comms.
Captain Heaven Risingstar
...Bijou, can you hear me?
Now, both the Liberty ErotiCake and the Tyranny ErotiCake are seen to be standing on top of the Blue Aphrodite. Now, Bijou will speak.
Bijou Luisant
Yes, Heaven. I can hear you.
Now through Bijou's comms, Heaven's voice will be heard.
Captain Heaven Risingstar (comms)
Could you tell me a little bit about that new Divide? The...Tyranny ErotiCake, I believe it was called...?
Captain Heaven will be asking for information about the Tyranny ErotiCake, as she doesn't know much about it at this time. Bijou will then respond.
Bijou Luisant
...I'm sorry Heaven, but aside from its incredible speed I can't say much about that Divide, as not even I know much about it. Perle and Sabrina are its pilots, along with a mysterious woman in a bodysuit named Divitiya Iran.
Captain Heaven Risingstar
...A woman in a bodysuit...?
Now, inside of the Tyranny ErotiCake, both Perle and Sabrina will be quiet. Perle will then speak.
Perle Luisant
...Uh, Divitiya?
Perle will say, unsure of what to do in this situation. Divitiya will stay silent.
Divitiya Iran
...
Sabrina will then speak up.
Sabrina Madison
...You haven't met Heaven yet, have you? She's the daughter of Andrea and Cobalt, and...
Divitiya Iran
!
Now, Divitiya will start moving the Tyranny ErotiCake. As she does this, Perle will then speak out in worry.
Perle Luisant
W-wait, Divitiya!
Sabrina will then follow suit.
Sabrina Madison
What are you going to do?!
Divitiya will then speak.
Divitiya Iran
We are going to the Pinnacle Department right now, you two.
Still worried, Perle will then speak.
Perle Luisant
But, didn't you hear what that enemy Captain said?! If we move, then the Ascension will harm the civilians in the area.
Divitiya will then stop the Tyranny ErotiCake on top of a specific area, to which she will then speak to Perle and Sabrina.
Divitiya Iran
...The Ascension will not be able to see us...
Now, Heaven will interrupt the conversation.
Captain Heaven Risingstar (comms)
Ahem! Could you please keep us informed about your plans, Miss Divitiya Iran?
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya Iran
...
Now, Bijou will move the Liberty ErotiCake slightly closer to the Tyranny ErotiCake-but she will not stand on the specific spot that the Tyranny ErotiCake is currently standing on. Divitiya will then speak to Heaven through the comms.
Divitiya Iran
...Captain Heaven. This ErotiCake has several hidden functions that are currently unknown to the enemy...and to all of you. I am going to engage one of these features right now, of which will allow me, Perle and Sabrina to sneak past the AA forces undetected.
Captain Heaven Risingstar (comms)
...
Back at the bridge, Captain Heaven and Crystal will be instantly suspicious of Divitiya. Crystal will then speak.
Arbiter Crystal Blue
...The Confederation has such technology? This is the first we've ever heard of this...
Crystal says, as Heaven then speaks up.
Captain Heaven Risingstar
We have never heard of such technology, Divitiya, so please forgive us if we sound suspicious of you right now.
Back with Divitiya, she will speak.
Divitiya Iran (comms)
I can understand that, Heaven. However, don't you agree that because we have such technology hidden that we have the advantage right now?
Divitiya asks, as if assuring that such technology will guarantee success. However, Heaven will then retort with-
Captain Heaven Risingstar
That only depends on what this technology even is...?
Arbiter Crystal Blue
...
Bridge Staff
...
Heaven asks, questioningly. Next to her, Crystal will be intrigued, along with the bridge staff-who can hear everything being discussed. Back with Divitiya, now both Perle and Sabrina will also be interested in Divitiya, who is silent.
Divitiya Iran
...
As Divitiya is still silent, Perle and Sabrina will try to press her for answers.
Perle Luisant
...Uh, Divitiya?
Sabrina Madison
Are you going to tell us what this technology is?
Now, Divitiya will speak.
Divitiya Iran
...Sadly, right now I am not at liberty to tell any of you what else this ErotiCake is truly capable of. Everything aside from its name is still classified, so please...try to comprehend how difficult my position is...
Captain Heaven Risingstar
...
Back with Heaven, she will clearly not be happy about not having any information about the Tyranny ErotiCake. Thus, she will speak in a deep tone now.
Captain Heaven Risingstar
...So, then...what do you intend to do right now, Divitiya?
Heaven asks, expecting an answer to her question. Divitiya responds.
Divitiya Iran
Once again, I will be using this Tyranny ErotiCake to make our way to the Pinnacle Department-in order to complete my own separate mission. You and Captain Phillip are free to do whatever you wish-so long as you don't try to disrupt me in any way.
With this, the view then goes back to Heaven, who now having some information about Divitiya's intentions, she will speak back to Divitiya.
Captain Heaven Risingstar (comms)
Mission? You mean, you are not here to help us retaliate against the AA-or even rescue the civilians with the power of that Divide?
Captain Heaven says, in a similar deep tone. Divitiya speaks.
Divitiya Iran
That's correct-for both situations. While we are on the same side, I have another more important mission that I must complete for Chairwoman Francoise Luisant-who asked me to do this personally beforehand. As such, I have been given permission beforehand to operate outside of your jurisdiction-just for this mission.
Captain Heaven Risingstar (comms)
...!
Captain Heaven will now look at Crystal, who despite showing her a tablet that does detail what Divitiya says is true, Heaven will look just as annoyed as Crystal does right now. Captain Heaven will then speak.
Captain Heaven Risingstar
I see. Does Chairwoman Francoise expect me to give you special treatment, without any information as to why...?
Divitiya Iran (comms)
...
Now, back with Divitiya, she will remain silent, as she doesn't know how to resolve this situation. Perle and Sabrina will look questioningly towards Divitiya, to which before things escalate further, Divitiya will receive some help from-
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
...Divitiya. Can you hear me?
Divitiya Iran
!
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
I'm sending Arbiter Crystal a message, explaining that I will be there after this battle to explain your position in more detail. She should be receiving it right about now, so get ready to move out after she tells it to Heaven.
Divitiya Iran
...Thanks. I wasn't sure how to resolve this myself...
Now, back with Heaven and Crystal, Crystal will receive a message on her tablet, to which as she opens it she will read it quietly. She will then take a quick glance around the bridge and see that-while subtle-everyone is very curious as to what is going on. Arbiter Crystal will then lean in closer to Heaven and speak to her-quietly, as she also shows Heaven the tablet.
Arbiter Crystal Blue
...Heaven. Chairwoman Francoise just sent me this message...please read it to yourself...
Captain Heaven Risingstar
...!
Upon reading the message on the tablet, Captain Heaven will then speak.
Captain Heaven Risingstar
...Very well, Divitiya. I will allow for you to act as you see fit...just for this mission.
Back with Divitiya, she will speak.
Divitiya Iran
Thank you, Heaven. If I may ask you just one thing, before I have Perle here move the Tyranny ErotiCake...?
Heaven will ask-
Captain Heaven Risingstar
...Speak.
Divitiya Iran
...
Now, across the enormous city within the Next-Curtain Barrier, the Tenebris Root will be seen to still be hovering high above the Pinnacle Department. As it hovers, Captain Irena and Arbiter Raul will be seen, closely watching the Liberty ErotiCake and the Tyranny ErotiCake on the main monitor. They speak.
Captain Irena Requiem
...Those two Superior Weapons on that ship haven't moved...
Advisor Raul Impulse
Yeah...
Raul says, while keeping a close eye on both Superior Weapons. Then, the two see something happening, which gets their attention.
Captain Irena Requiem
...Hm?
Now on the monitor in front of Irena, she will see that the Tyranny ErotiCake is being retracted back into the inside of the Blue Aphrodite. Back there, as the Tyranny ErotiCake descends down via an elevator, the hatch above it then starts to close, to which as this happens, the Tyranny ErotiCake starts to turn invisible. Once the hatch has closed, next to the Liberty ErotiCake-
"CLACK CLACK!"
Bijou Luisant
!
Chole Madison
!
Isaac Carter
!
Noah Maverick
!
Now, the head of the Liberty ErotiCake will look to its right and slightly downwards, as next to it, the vague outline of the Tyranny ErotiCake will be barely seen. It will then appear completely invisible, to which inside, both Perle and Sabrina will speak.
Perle Luisant
Incredible! This ErotiCake is invisible!
Perle says, as she now has control over the Tyranny ErotiCake once more. Divitiya explains.
Divitiya Iran
...The first of the secret functions of this ErotiCake is it's "Phantasm-Camouflage", which is an addon to its Next-EffectPhase armor. As you can see, it allows for the entire ErotiCake to become invisible to sight and radar.
Sabrina Madison
Wow...!
Sabrina is now seen to try to get in contact with her mother in the Liberty ErotiCake. Seeing what she's trying to do, Divitiya will speak.
Divitiya Iran
...Sabrina. The comms will not work anymore with this feature active, as our enemies could intercept our communications and deduce our position.
Sabrina Madison
Oh...I see.
Sabrina looks slightly disappointed, to which Divitiya then speaks to Perle.
Divitiya Iran
Now, Perle. You have control of the Tyranny ErotiCake. Please, move us to the Pinnacle Department-without alerting us to the enemy.
Perle Luisant
Oh, um...ok...
Perle says, reluctantly, to which Divitiya then finishes up.
Divitiya Iran
This will be a valuable learning experience for the two of you, as mastering this feature will make you into better pilots in the long run. Just like Chairwoman Francoise wishes.
Perle Luisant
Mmm...
Sabrina Madison
...
Perle says, with a slight gulp, as she then moves the Tyranny ErotiCake off of the Blue Aphrodite. As this happens, Bijou and her friends see the air currents caused by the Tyranny ErotiCake and then speak.
Bijou Luisant
Amazing...the Tyranny ErotiCake can turn itself completely invisible.
Chole Madison
Ture. However, if it moves too quickly, then it might just give itself away, as the moving air currents will betray its position away...
Chole says, as she sees the Tyranny ErotiCake fly towards the city. Noah is then seen to jot some notes down on a small monitor next to him-subtly, hinting that he's up to something.
Noah Maverick
...
Noah's actions go unnoticed by his wife and friends, to which as the screen inside of the Liberty ErotiCake is shown, back at the Tenebris Root, on the bridge, Captain Irena will be seen to be watching the video of what just happened in front of her.
"REWIND"
Captain Irena Requiem
...
Captain Irena will be seen to be closely rewatching the unusual head movements of the Liberty ErotiCake just now-but she will not be able to deduce what has happened at this time. Advisor Raul will be silent standing next to her, as he then subtly looks down to his right. His wrist will now be shown, to which there will be a watch shown now-out of sight of anyone else on the bridge.
"Beep beep"
Advisor Raul Impulse
...!
As Raul subtly looks down at his watch, he then moves his arm out of sight, to which the screen then transitions.
Back with Perle, Sabrina and Divitiya, as they have the Tyranny ErotiCake fly towards the city, it will do so while invisible, to which it will then subtly land on one of the top parts of a random skyscraper. All over the right half side of the capital, the AA will have their Superior Weapons menacingly glaring down at the horrified civilians below. The AA will not have any of their Superior Weapon's land in the city where the civilians are, as all of them will either be in the air or around the Pinnacle Department-of which there ARE many AA Superior Weapons surrounding both in its airspace and on the ground. Back in the city, some civilians will have the courage to move away from their locations, but most stay still or sit down, as they look above at the AA in fear. Upon seeing this, Perle will speak.
Perle Luisant
...Hey, Divitiya?
Perle asks, with a saddened look on her face. Divitiya will reply.
Divitiya Iran
Yes, Perle?
Perle speaks.
Perle Luisant
Can't we use this invisibility to do something for the civilians down there? There are even children down there, and-
Now, Divitiya cuts off Perle, as she speaks.
Divitiya Iran
I understand your concerns, but we cannot afford for the Ascension to learn of this technology right now, Perle.
Now, Perle will look behind herself towards Divitiya and whine-
Perle Luisant
But Divitiya!
Now, even Sabrina will feel Perle's frustrations-
Sabrina Madison
Surely we can at least do something...!
Face with both Perle and Sabrina, Divitiya will speak to the both of them.
Divitiya Iran
Listen to me, Perle. And you too, Sabrina. Remember what happened earlier back when the AA first arrived to restart this war?
Perle Luisant
Gh...
Sabrina Madison
Mn...
Divitiya continues.
Divitiya Iran
Remember how you forced Phillip to show off to the enemy that we have Divides and Superior Maneuvers with NEP-Fabric? By reveling our ingenuity, I can guarantee that the AA are already hard at work at developing more advanced SWs-to try and keep up with the Confederation.
Perle will then speak.
Perle Luisant
...I understand that, Divitiya. I made a mistake back then, but right now-
Before Perle can finish, Divitiya cuts her off.
Divitiya Iran
-You want to do the exact same thing in this situation-just to save the civilians below, correct?
Perle Luisant
!...
Now, Sabrina will speak up.
Sabrina Madison
Of course we want to do that, Divitiya! What's the point of having this power if we don't use it to help others?!
Now, Divitiya will answer Sabrina and Perle.
Divitiya Iran
...By doing that, the Confederation as a whole would once again lose a possible surprise on the AA as this new war continues, Sabrina.
Sabrina Madison
Gh...
Perle Luisant
Rgh...
Sabrina will realize that Divitiya is correct, to which she will then fall silent. Perle will also do the same thing, to which Divitiya will continue.
Divitiya Iran
I understand both of your frustrations. However, right now, we simply cannot allow for the AA to learn of this kind of technology. While the AA aren't technologically on par to the Confederation, they are still a growing threat-so we must have as many surprises for them in kind. Please try to remember that...Perle.
Perle Luisant
!
Now, Divitiya will be speaking to Perle, to which she then jolts a little in her seat and then looks at Divitiya behind her. Divitiya then continues, while Perle looks at her with puppy-like eyes.
Perle Luisant
...
Perle then speaks, as if she's about to cry.
Perle Luisant
...And...what of the people down there...? What of the children...who look so scared right now!?
Divitiya is unfazed by Perle's feelings. She speaks.
Divitiya Iran
...That Ascension Captain has already made it clear that they will not just start killing people-so long as Heaven and Phillip continue to keep their distance. However, I'm sure that those two have a plan to get around what Captain Irena just said, as Heaven seems like she's very intelligent.
Perle Luisant
...
Perle then looks back in front of here, at the monitors in front of her face. Perle will still be frustrated at the situation, as she looks down at the innocent civilians once more. Their terrified faces will wound her mentally, to which even Sabrina will feel deeply for all of the people down in the capital, as their scared faces with stick with both Perle and Sabrina. But then, Perle closes her eyes and then starts to think more clearly. Perle and Sabrina then speak.
Perle Luisant
..."Inhale"..."Exhale"...Alright, Divitiya...
Sabrina Madison
We understand...
Divitiya then speaks.
Divitiya Iran
Thank you, Perle and Sabrina.
Divitiya Iran
Oh, and do try to ease up on the speed while we are like this, Perle. Even though we are invisible, the enemy could still see us from the air currents of the planet. This won't be an issue once we get into space, though.
Perle Luisant
!...Yeah, alright...
Sabrina Madison
...
After this, Perle then refocuses herself and then starts to move the Tyranny ErotiCake more slowly-as per Divitiya's instruction. As she does this, she then has the Tyranny ErotiCake fly closer to the Tenebris Root, to which as she gets closer-
Perle Luisant
!
Now, several unsuspecting patrols of AA Superior Weapons are seen to be flying around the Tenebris Root. Its large size is 60km-the exact same length that the Hydra Noon and the Blue Aphrodite are, to which as Perle flies closer, Divitiya then speaks to her.
Divitiya Iran
Perle. Lower us down closer to the streets below. We'll be seen if we stay up here.
Perle Luisant
R-right!
Following Divitiya's instructions, Perle then has the Tyranny ErotiCake slowly descend into the city. As she does this, she will land close by to where the Pinnacle Department is located, but many AA Blockades are seen to be closely guarding the area.
Inside of the Tyranny ErotiCake, Sabrina will now speak, while Perle keeps a close eye out for any incoming AA Superior Weapons.
Sabrina Madison
...I don't know how we are supposed to get in there with this many enemies surrounding the Department...
Perle Luisant
...!
Sabrina says, as Perle then notices many AA Superior Weapons standing still around them. Divitiya then speaks.
Divitiya Iran
...Perle. Have the Tyranny ErotiCake slowly walk along...this route.
Now, Divitiya will send to Perle something, to which on the monitor in front of Perle, she will then see a file. She will open it, to which it will then revel an intended path for them to walk along. Perle speaks.
Perle Luisant
...This path...it leads to a dead end?
Sabrina Madison
?
Perle will sound confused, to which Sabrina will hear what Perle just said and will also look exactly the same. Divitiya will then clarify.
Divitiya Iran
That's what it just looks like. However, appearances can be deceiving. I'll show you two once we get there, so please, move the Tyranny ErotiCake to that location.
Now, Perle will speak-reluctantly.
Perle Luisant
...Alright.
Perle says, unsure of what to make of the situation, while Sabrina will remain quiet.
As the Tyranny ErotiCake begins to walk, it will do so undetected by any of the AA Superior Weapons in the area. Several AA Blockades, AA Frontiers and AA Divides will be shown, to which just as Perle is about to come up to the area-
Divitiya Iran
Perle! STOP!
Perle Luisant
?!
Sabrina Madison
!
Just then, Perle snaps to attention and has the Tyranny ErotiCake halt instantly. As this happens, the Tyranny ErotiCake was just passing by two large buildings, to which behind them-
Superior AndroIs
...
Sabrina Madison
Gh!
Perle Luisant
Whoa! What the-
Divitiya then speaks.
Divitiya Iran
Do not move, Perle...
Perle Luisant
...
Sabrina Madison
...
Outside the Tyranny ErotiCake, two Superior AndroIs are now reveled to have hidden behind these two buildings in question. Their appearance will be that to the regular AndroIs model but will now be the size of a Superior Weapon. As they continue to look down, they will not be able to see the outline of the Tyranny ErotiCake, to which they will then return to standby mode.
Superior AndroIs
...
Now, both Perle and Sabrina will breathe a sigh of relief.
Perle Luisant
...Phew...
Sabrina Madison
That was a close one...
Both Perle and Sabrina will be shown to be sweating a little, to which Divitiya will then speak.
Divitiya Iran
Perle. Out destination is just up ahead, in that building. Move us there...slowly, so as to remain undetected.
Divitiya says, as she continues to direct Perle to do what she needs. Perle complies easily enough.
Perle Luisant
...Alright.
Sabrina Madison
...
As Perle moves the Tyranny ErotiCake, behind the helmet that Divitiya wears, she too will be seen to have a bead of sweat slide off her face-but due to her wearing a mask, neither Perle nor Sabrina will notice.
As the Tyranny ErotiCake then gets to the location, Perle will then speak.
Perle Luisant
...Just like I said...a dead end.
Sabrina Madison
...
Now, Divitiya will speak.
Divitiya Iran
...Allow me, you two...
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya says, as she now takes control of the Tyranny ErotiCake. She then simply moves it's right had in front of it to then slightly press into one of the walls of the Pinnacle Department, to which then revels a hidden keypad in the wall. Divitiya then inputs a code into the keypad, to which a mechanical voice is then heard from the wall.
Machine Voice
ID recognized. Please stand by-
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya Iran
...
Now, the wall in front of the Tyranny ErotiCake is reveled to open up, which then revels a kind of garage large enough for the Tyranny ErotiCake to enter into. As this happens, Divitiya looks to her radar and then speaks in a hurry.
Divitiya Iran
...! Perle. Move us into the garage, quickly! There are AndroIs coming in from behind us!
Perle Luisant
!
True to Divitiya's words, several AA E-AndroIs will have heard the moving of the doors and will be slowly walking towards the direction of the noise. Perle will then move the Tyranny ErotiCake inside the garage, to which Divitiya will then speak.
Divitiya Iran
Now, Perle! Press that button to the Tyranny ErotiCake's right!
Perle Luisant
!
Without even thinking, Perle will then look to her right and see a bright button sticking out of the wall next to the Tyranny ErotiCake. She will then have the Tyranny ErotiCake press this button, to which it will then close the doors behind the still invisible Tyranny ErotiCake. Just as it finishes closing, the AA E-AndroIs will then arrive on the scene, but they will appear to be confused, as they will not know of what just happened to cause such noise.
AA E-AndroIs
...?
Now back inside of the walls, Divitiya will unstrap herself out of her seat, to which she will then speak.
Divitiya Iran
...Now that we've confirmed the presence of AndroIs outside, it's fair to believe that the Ascension also have them inside of this building. As such, it's highly likely that I'll have to engage with them in hand-to-hand combat.
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
As Divitiya says this, she will be shown to be carrying a large rifle on her back. Divitiya will also carry two spare sidearms, that will be seen along her belt at this time. Divitiya then speaks.
Divitiya Iran
...I wouldn't want you two to get in my way, so-
Before Divitiya can finish, Perle will speak.
Perle Luisant
Wait!
Divitiya Iran
?
Now, Sabrina will speak.
Sabrina Madison
We...should come with you, Divitiya... We can help you fight against the enemy with those spare guns on your belt...
Divitiya Iran
...
Now, behind Divitiya's mask, she will look unsure of how to handle the situation, to which then, Chairwoman Francoise will speak to her via the hidden comms in her mask.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
...Divitiya.
Now, Divitiya will speak to Francoise.
Divitiya Iran
Chairwoman Francoise? What do I do now?
Chairwoman Francoise will then speak.
Chairwoman Francoise Luisant (secret comms)
I managed to get most of Ginnette's staff out of there before the AndroIs got to them. While there were still some human casualties, and the enemy did destroy some of our equipment...the route that you must take to get to the vault where the Genetic Code is shouldn't have any AndroIs in them at this time...so long as you move quickly with them.
Chairwoman Francoise will say this with doubt in her tone, hinting that there might be enemies IF they are not careful enough. Divitiya will then speak.
Divitiya Iran
...I understand.
With this, Divitiya then speaks to both Perle and Sabrina.
Divitiya Iran
...Alright, you two. You can act as backup-but from here on, you must listen to me without pause, or else we all might die in there. Is that understood?
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Faced with this reality, Divitiya now sounds dead serious in her tone to both Perle and Sabrina. After a moment of silence, both Perle and Sabrina speak to Divitiya.
Perle Luisant
...I understand.
Sabrina Madison
Same here...
With both Perle and Sabrina in agreement, Divitiya will then hand them the spare guns that she kept on her belt, to which she will then move in front of them, as the cockpit then opens. She then speaks.
Divitiya Iran
...Follow me. And do not make a single sound once we get past this area.
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
With that, Divitiya is the first to go outside of the still invisible Tyranny ErotiCake, to which as she uses the rope to descend down to the ground, both Perle and Sabrina also follow suit. Once at the bottom, Sabrina and Perle will look around them, to which Perle will then speak.
Sabrina Madison
Wow...I never knew the Department had such a room...
Perle Luisant
Same here...!
Now, Perle will notice how the Tyranny ErotiCake is still behind them, invisible, to which she will ask Divitiya about this.
Perle Luisant
...Hey, Divitiya? Are we going to leave the Tyranny ErotiCake like this?
Perle asks, innocently enough. Divitiya then speaks, as she walks towards a sealed door that leads deeper into the Department.
Divitiya Iran
This area was constructed outside of the original designs for this building, so not many people even know of its existence. As such, so long as we make sure that the enemy doesn't get into this area through the only entrance...
Divitiya now points towards the door that she's approaching. Perle and Sabrina see the door-
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya then finishes up.
Divitiya Iran
...The Tyranny ErotiCake and its secrets will be safe.
Sabrina Madison
...I see.
Sabrina says, as she and Perle then run off to be with Divitiya. As Divitiya then gets to the door, she then readies the rifle on her back, which is equipped with special bullets that stun and then explode on contact. After arming herself, both Perle and Sabrina come to her side, to which Divitiya then inputs another code into the wall in front of her.
"Beep beep"
Divitiya Iran
...
Just as Divitiya is about to input the final button to open the door, she will then speak to both Perle and Sabrina.
Divitiya Iran
Perle. Sabrina. Remember what I said. Listen to my exact orders from here on out and do not make a single sound-unless I tell you so.
Perle Luisant
!
Sabrina Madison
!
Divitiya says, once again dead serious in her tone. Both Perle and Sabrina nod, to which as they carry their guns in their hands, they will see that their hands are shaking.
Perle Luisant
"Shivering"
Sabrina Madison
"Shivering"
Ignoring this, Divitiya then inputs the final digit, to which as the door opens, the chapter will then end.
-CHAPTER END-
