Desert by Lungmen \ Facility #14

...I've reached the destination.

No other abnormalities found.

Report complete.

Frostleaf, why were you frowning the whole way here?

I'm just a little concerned about Amiya's group.

They've already safely returned to Rhodes Island.

Nearl and Dobermann already left Lungmen a week ago for their next assignment.

It must be a pretty tough mission if it required sending those two together.

Blacksteel and Penguin Logistics both have their own matters to attend to.

Oh, Liskarm and Franka...

I'm... I'm glad that they're safe...

You've got to work hard as well, just like them.

When Franka sent you over to me, she spoke very highly of you.

R-really...?

If only you weren't so timid, she said.

Uuu....

...Hey, don't act like you're about to start crying!

Aren't you also a member of Blacksteel...?

I, I'm not... crying...

...In any case, let's continue our mission.

Our next task is to work with the other recon teams to scout out this entire city.

Other than searching for survivors, we also need to assess the situation.

If we encounter hostile Infected, we'll have to deal with the threat quickly.

Even though our mission isn't particularly dangerous, it's still best to proceed with caution.

In the event that Reunion is involved in this, we'll retreat immediately and report back to Dr. Kal'tsit.

Mmhm, mmhm!

Understood.

All that's left for us to do... is to focus on our job.

Rhodes Island

Deserted Nomadic City - 2 days after the discovery of 'Facility #14'

Ah... You made it, Doctor.

Good timing, Dr. {@nickname}.

Our job here is about done. You probably won't see us for a while~

Are you leaving already?;...Got it.;I'll miss you.

We'll see you soon enough.

It won't be long before we're back on standby in Rhodes Island.

Don't miss me too much.

Well, unfortunately, we don't have such an official-sounding reason. Right, Texas?

Hold on a second...

Penguin Logistics... is about to go on vacation!

It's only going to one precious day... But still--

...Apologies. This isn't the best time to talk about it.

Don't worry... Everyone needs to get some rest.

...I should be the one saying that to you.

Huh...?

That's right, that's right. Amiya, girl, you really need a bit of R&R!

There are many things in Rhodes Island that must be taken care of...

I can understand that, but make sure not to give yourself too much pressure, Amiya.

No matter how strong your will is, your body won't be able to keep up if you get exhausted.

You'd better not get sick. Everyone's counting on you!

I... Everyone has always been looking after me.

We were also inspired by the way you fight.

Just that much is enough.

Since I'm already here, I'll take this opportunity to get a free check-up before heading back.

Our work here is about done anyway. Next up is...

Amiya, Dr. {@nickname}.

I'm listening.

Keep up the good work~! Cheer up!

Wha... huh?

After we finish our report, we'll be right back.

No matter what, life must move forward.

Amiya, take care.

Everyone... I...

...I will. You all take care as well.

See you next time.

Doctor,

I have to visit the slums in outer Lungmen again. I should be of assistance.

Will you be fine by yourself?;Isn't that a bit dangerous...?;Amiya, should I go with you?

Don't worry, Doctor.

Another member of Rhodes Island, Projekt Red, will be joining me in Lungmen.

She's really good!

With her there, you don't have to worry about me.
