"AR Team Griffin's elite T-Doll unit." sends its elite AR Team to find the cause of the rebellion and put a stop to it.
Sangvis reinforcements incoming!
Estimated arrival time, 15 seconds!
There are too many!
Try to save ammo!
It's all they can do to take care of themselves!
They don't have the strength to...
I've come to deliver death.
"S09 Area, Carpathian Mountains"
Griffin T-Dolls?
What are they doing out here?
Griffin did a mission here to wipe out any Sangvis in the area.
They were probably separated from the main unit,
and then abandoned at some point.
Abandoned...
What's the plan, M4?
Take them with us?
Um...
Impossible. They're not capable of moving silently.
We are.
Don't worry.
If they're in offline mode, the Sangvis won't notice them.
We'll continue our mission and leave them alone.
O-Okay...
Confirming coordinates. V6J69-HJYRV.
Clear weather. No wind. Clear visibility.
Persica, this is AR Team.
Heyo.
Reporting in. At the Sangvis recon base HQ,
we found a career file labeled "Lyco," as well as the location of research data.
Me! I found it!
Great. And?
The data from when "Lyco" was alive is located in a mainframe in Safehouse 3.
We will now head there, recover it, and send it to 16LAB.
Okay. Great.
Let's hurry! The Sangvis are waiting for us!
Get a hold of yourself.
We're not here to have fun.
Let's go, Captain.
AR Team, begin the mission!
Hey, what do you think our objective is for this mission?
What are you trying to say, AR15?
Persica originally gave us a mission to recover experiment data.
And now here we are in Sangvis territory,
looking for documents left by the dead.
We're T-Dolls. We just need to follow our mission.
True.
I was just a little curious.
We've reached the target point.
Wow. Find the data?
The OS is too old for us to hack the login system.
We'll need a password to boot it up.
Um... 90WISHROCK.
Then an X.
All caps.
Password accepted. I'm looking through the database.
Got it.
Copy everything in the database to your memory and bring it home.
We're not sending it via wireless?
Nope. There's a chance the Sangvis will take it.
We can't let them have it.
Blow the mainframe before you leave.
Roger.
So we're in Sangvis territory, hacking a Sangvis database,
to get data the Sangvis don't even know they have?
Like a treasure hunt!
Yes. And we're very grateful.
You found quite a treasure for us.
Somebody's broken into the comms line!
I am Agent, of the Sangvis Ferri.
I've been awaiting your arrival.
A High-End Model?
High-End...
There's something in here that our master desires for their own.
Unfortunately, the system was too old for us to decipher.
So you used us to get it?
Now our master will have the "answer"!
Once I've ripped you apart and taken out your memory...
Sangvis detected!
They're close!
Party time!
We have to hang in there until the copy operation's complete!
Prepare for combat!
Everyone, get ready to intercept the enemy!
There are too many of them!
Try to save ammo!
That goes double for you, SOPII!
I know that!
AR15, watch my back.
Leave it to me.
Big Sis M16, help me track the enemy's movements!
Sure thing.
Everybody, just hang in there a little more.
When this is over, we'll all go home together.
Right!
Open fire!
Heading 076, Distance 300!
Jaeger!
They just keep coming...
Can't we contact Persica?
The module automatically cut the transmission
to keep any information on the lab from leaking.
There's still half the data transmission left.
Can you hang in there?
There's just not enough of us.
If they launch another attack of the same size...
There's a better way.
If we can contact the ones in the Support Units,
they'll help us.
It's all they can do to protect themselves!
They don't have the strength to...
No, they're waiting for their next order.
M4, can you change our signal to get them to back us up?
Roger.
But someone will need to bring them here.
AR15, SOPII! When you get close, launch a forcible access attempt!
I'll rewrite your privileges!
Roger!
Hang in there till we get back!
It'll be just the two of us for a while.
This'll be rough, but let's make it through somehow.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't make the call when it counted.
I'm always relying on you for help.
You're doing a good job.
You haven't screwed anything up yet.
Don't worry about it.
There are more Jaegers?!
I'm within range of the unit's local area network.
Forced access complete.
Privilege rewrite complete.
Changing command priority. Changing mission type.
Transfer complete!
Those Support Units helped a lot, it looks like.
Yeah. Let's get out of here.
I won't let you escape.
Big Sis M16, where are you?
You should be more concerned about yourself, M4A1.
I've come to deliver death.
Agent...
Fascinating...
Even your eyes just before your death aren't like theirs.
Did you think you could escape
after stealing something so important to our master?
Stop talking, and go to hell!
You...
Big Sis M16! Are you okay?
I saved you again.
You owe me one.
Are the others okay, you think?
We're back!
Sangvis reinforcements are en route.
We need to get out of here now.
Right.
Command System activated.
Satellite link activated.
Loading battlefield module.
Loading area synchronization module.
Deploying tactical map!
This is AR Team. Do you read?
"T-Doll"
Loud and clear.
"T-Doll Skorpion" Just fine!
"T-Doll"
Communications are working fine!
I'm sorry. Please, take over for us.
Don't worry, comrade!
This is our job!
They don't even know they were abandoned.
I'll withdraw as soon as possible.
AR Team, can you get a clear look at the battlefield from your location?
Yes.
The third data house is surrounded by Sangvis.
We'll need to break through to retreat.
All Griffins function as a mainframe,
giving orders to the dummies via the network.
But the Sangvis have a forward command post that sends
all the signals that give orders.
If you can bring down that command post,
you can neutralize the vast majority of the enemy in the area.
Most of the Sangvis are patrolling this area.
By destroying and occupying that location,
we can neutralize the enemy and withdraw from the area.
G43, please head to coordinates X9CEM and defend the rear.
Roger.
Vz. 61, PPSh-41,
head to coordinates YK78Q and VL43B, respectively, and defend our flanks.
Roger!
Understood!
Sangvis reinforcements are on the move!
We're fine! Just go!
O-Okay!
Let's hurry.
Those Support Units won't last long.
Right.
There! To the rear!
Incoming Sangvis Reinforcements! Estimated arrival time, 15 seconds!
Roger.
Last time the Sangvis failed when they attacked from the base of the mountain.
They may try to drop down on us!
G43, watch above you!
Roger!
You were right!
One hundred fifty meters away. Adjusting RPG flight path... firing!
100% accuracy. 17 Sangvis shut down.
Three escaped!
Continuing fire!
The first wave of enemies was wiped out.
All your calls were accurate.
Thank you for your orders, M4! Danke!
Next they'll come from both flanks!
Be careful!
Roger.
Enemies sighted.
We'll handle them all!
Okay!
It's safe here now!
How about your area, Skorpion?
All done.
That was a close one.
We've safely made it through the first wave.
AR Team, what about you?
We've reached the target point.
The Sangvis should have a temporary HQ here.
Three, two, one! Blow it!
--Clear! --Clear!
Huh? It's empty?
A powerful Sangvis signal is approaching this area!
Wait, more than one.
Two... three...
Support units, be careful!
It's a trap!
It's over, little Griffin girls.
There's nothing left for you to do but make a mess on the floor.
AR Team will escape... I know it!
It's useless.
All you're doing is buying time.
And we have all the time in the world right now.
I'm surprised.
Even an old-generation T-Doll destined for the scrap heap
can still run pretty fast.
Come in! Come in!
Griffin Support Units!
What is your situations?
Get out of here.
Find... commander...
Griffin Team, what's going on?
You can still move, huh?
But now it's over.
I-It's over...
...for you!
Signal lost.
Don't tell me they...
Damn it!
There's no time to waste.
They left us a chance.
We need to get out of here as soon as possible.
You're already relaxing?
Isn't that a little too soon?
It's that Sangvis from before!
Hide!
Big Sis M16, aim some suppressing fire at the right Sangvis!
SOPII, AR15, let's work together to take out the one on the left!
Roger!
Big Sis M16, now!
Right!
Where's the one on the right?
The window?
I need backup! M16 is pinned down!
Do you really have time to worry about someone else?
Damn it! They're persistent!
We're leaving!
What's going on?
Are they predicting our movements somehow?
Yeah. They must be hacking our Zener Protocol.
They'll know what our plans are as soon as we do.
Then how'd M16 beat that one back there?
Oh, first they beat me so bad I could only move my left hand.
Next, I got blown off my feet and luckily landed right at point-blank range.
So much for that.
Everyone, do you remember our 7th Combat Module?
Yeah, of course.
Let's let them peek all they like.
Their link signal disappeared.
Your tricks won't save you.
Huh?
So they found our weakness.
Our superior firepower to our front
also means we're weak to attacks from the side.
And when we're firing,
we become essentially immobile due to the need to resist the recoil,
limiting how much we can move.
But with two of us here,
we can cover the vast majority of each other's blind spots.
This distance... That weak weapon...
You can't even scratch us!
Now come out, and we'll put an end to this!
Three versus two.
Their numbers advantage is meaningless.
I can handle this easily.
Three directions...?
Three?
Where's the other one?
Know your place, fool!
That rusty old weapon can't hurt us from that distance!
All right, then...
How about this, then?
Eat this, Sangvis monsters!
So the attacks from the sides were decoys?
To keep me from looking up...
This thing won't do any good if you're too close, after all.
A 40mm grenade.
You Griffin trash...
Begone!
High End...
The end.
"Luckily landed right at point-blank range."
Well done.
You underestimated us.
We've worked together on many operations just like this,
even without our Zener Protocol.
I guess we're about done, then.
But the Support Units...
M4, don't forget.
Both they, and we, were simply following orders.
Understood.
I'll bring back the data no matter what.
No matter what.
So, now what?
They massively outnumbered us.
If they surround us, we're finished.
We'll use backup plan C.
Just like we discussed.
So I'm supposed to go to Griffin HQ and get backup? Myself?
Yeah. We'll split up and draw the enemy's attention. Buy you time.
But there are Agents here!
And if the Sangvis catch you, you'll all...
Get going.
This is the best way.
That's right.
You're the only one who can save us now.
Okay. I promise, I'll find a commander we can trust.
I promise, I'll find a commander we can trust.
Gentiane.
Gentiane!
Thanks... yeah.
Not at all.
Welcome to Griffin, Gentiane!
Now, then... what kind of girls are waiting for me?
