| abstract | - Crowe: The reason I am here is for none other than to tell you the best news and the worst one at the same time. Kurt: What is it? Crowe: The good one involves all of the Nameless receiving pardons. Kurt: The entire squad, really. Crowe: Yes. The Nameless have not only been restored to a wing of the regular army, you will no longer be treated as a punishment squad and are formally recognized as a normal squad of the regulars. Crowe: You will no longer be referred to by your numbers, your achievements will also be properly recorded in the army. Crowe: Any rewards and punishments will follow regular military regulations, we will also allow members of your squad to formally retire. Kurt: Does that mean we will no longer be nameless? Crowe: Correct, you've done it. That original goal of climbing out of the Nameless. Kurt: ..I see. Feels like I took an exactly opposite route to what I thought was going to happen at first. Crowe: Hey, you could be a little bit happier about that! Kurt: This was a result of the efforts of the entire squad, I will properly celebrate with the squad later. Crowe: Those words, I wish I could have heard them from you when we first met. Kurt: ..the candy shop is going to make a lot of money, no mistake. Crowe: Chewing on candy still? Weird habit, that. Crowe: Also, for the convenience of paperwork, you will now be under the direct employ of Intelligence. Crowe: Your uniforms remain the same, your superior will still be me. Rejoice. Kurt: Is that the bad news you wanted to tell me? Crowe: ..would that it were. That would have been preferable. Crowe: A giant Imperial land-roaming battleship is headed towards Randgriz. Kurt: Land-roaming battleship..? Crowe: Think of it as a naval battleship that runs on land. Kurt: A giant construction like that running on the earth.. hard to believe without looking at the real thing. Crowe: You've got that right. This one has some unbelievable speed too. Crowe: It's probably already arrived in Randgriz. Kurt: That's quick! Is that even possible?! Crowe: This will be the first official mission for your newly restored squad: Recapture the capital of Randgriz. Crowe: As you probably know, the main body of the Gallian army was involved in the mysterious explosion that occurred in Ghirlandaio, they are wiped out. Crowe: All we have left right now are a handful of personal royal guards, a small section of the militia, and your squad. Crowe: Win. Got it? Kurt: Yes sir! Kurt: (Captain Dahau and Gusurg must still be active in the field..) Kurt: (They must have something planned for this situation as well.. what will they do?) Dahau: I refuse. Lydia: Are you sure? I am going to have to tell Borgia about this? Dahau: Setting off an explosion in Randgriz is something that I cannot do. Lydia: Deregulate the reactor on the Echidna, and a single city like Randgriz would be easily blown to bits. Dahau: Easily.. you say? Lydia: If you succeed, your dream of an independant Darcsen state will be supported by Borgia. Isn't that a good deal for you? Dahau: Out of the question. Lydia: Hmph, you're afraid you might fail? Dahau: This is a good plan to take out both Isler and Maximillian, without a doubt. Dahau: But sacrificing the lives of the innocent Darcsen that live in Randgriz is something I cannot do. Lydia: You're refusing just because of a few Darcsen that might die? Dahau: A few? No single life of any of my comrades should ever be taken lightly! Dahau: The independant state is a dream.. an utopia that should be made reality. Dahau: It will not be founded on the sacrifice of innocent Darcsen lives! Dahau: An independance earned by the mass murder of our own comrades, who would have faith in something like that? Dahau: If it comes to pass, who would support a government that kills civilians without a flinch? Dahau: What I seek is not just the end result of an independant state, our independance must continue evermore. Dahau: I will light the fires of hope in the hearts of all Darcsen, and I will never be allow it to ever be put out. Lydia: An admirable way of thinking, but your refusal would mean your excommunication from Borgia. Dahau: Most unfortunate. If Isler confesses, the Yggdist church will denounce Borgia as well. Dahau: He will be banished, perhaps even assasinated. Lydia: Everything you've done till now would have been for naught? Dahau: ..Regrettable. I will begin anew under Maximillian. Dahau: Our independance will be delayed, but I will not lay down my ideals. The fight will just have to continue. Dahau: For the happiness of all Darcsen.. taking up the dirty work is part of my destiny. Lydia: ..I see. Lydia: So, whatever shall I do. I'd be in a bit of a difficulty myself if Borgia lost his position.. We have received information that an Imperial land-roaming battleship has broken into the capital of Randgriz. We will make our way there with all haste. We have to remove the enemy from the capital and retake the city. There are also reports of enemies that are scattered in the vicinity. If they are encountered, eliminate them and make our way to the capital with as much speed as possible. This may be the worst possible scenario that can be imagined. However, we will not simply allow the capital to fall into Imperial hands without a fight. This concerns the continued survival of all Gallia. All members, perform to the best of your abilities.
