普罗旺斯2

Siv! The detector's showing one more person up ahead!

Think you can hang in there?

Huff... Huff... I'm fine, let's go...

This place is way too remote, and wasn't in the area covered by the infrared detector...

I applied to advance the range one kilometer this way, and discovered a survivor nearby, but haven't pinpointed the precise location yet. Hurry, hurry...

This town is clearly within the local Catastrophe Messenger's detection range, so how did this happen?!

An earthquake of this magnitude should've had obvious signs. There's no way anyone stationed here could've missed it.

It's already been four and a half days. I'm starting to think it might be...

Besides, Rhodes Island was just passing by, and we're not at all prepared for this level of rescue operation.

Don't talk like that!

Let's go. There's still hope.

Here, right here! They should be under the rubble. Hurry up, Siv!

This is the rescue team! Do you hear me? We're from the rescue team, we're here to help you!

Can you hear me? Please answer!

No response. Siv, try tapping a steel pipe!

Got it.

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap...

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap...

Any response?

None... And we weren't assigned a life-detector. Is there a better way of confirming the exact location? There were survivors before who just didn't have the strength to respond. Maybe I should apply for a—

Ugh... It'll be too late by then. Plus, there's no guarantee they even have any to spare. We'll do this the old-fashioned way. Listen carefully—even the scratching of fingernails makes a sound.

I'll try tapping the pipes over there. Or do you have any Originium Arts that can help locate them?

Haha... If I did, then I wouldn't be digging through rubble with my bare hands...

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap...

I've knocked on this entire area and didn't get any responses.

It's been so long, and this place is so remote. Were we... too late again?

No... there's still another place up ahead. I'll go over and take a look.

Tap tap tap, tap tap tap...

*Scratch*... *Scratch*...

*Scratch*... *Scratch*...

I hear it! It's the sound of nails on pipe!

Here, over here! Hurry, Siv!

I'm coming! ...Gah! Hiss...

Careful! Take a break if you can't handle it anymore!

I'm fine, I can keep going. We've got a life to save!

Can you hear me? We're from the rescue team, we're here to help you!

Here, let's move this board out of the way. Careful not to hurt yourself. Three, two, one!

Hnngh!

We should still have some saline solution left, so let's pass it down with a hose.

There's saline water on the way! Drink up, and we'll begin the rescue!

*cough*... *cough*...

It's an elderly person?

Granny?

Ugh... I thought... nobody would come...

No way! We're here for you!

Thank goodness...

I've already started scanning the structure with radar. Hold on just a little longer!

Granny? Granny?

She's losing consciousness! We can't let her fall asleep here!

I'll handle the scan. Head over and keep her awake!

Granny, Granny? Don't go to sleep just yet, let's have a little chat first!

It's dangerous to fall asleep right now. Wake up, and we'll talk, okay?

How many days has it been...?

...Um, two! Two days! We were nearby and came as soon as we could! Everything will be okay!

Ngh...

My grandson... Have you seen my grandson?

(Have you seen him? Any young kids?)

(No, I haven't...)

Granny, we're divided into teams who are all responsible for different areas. Maybe another team has already taken him to safety. We'll have a look after we get you out of here!

My grandson... is a little troublemaker...

I don't know where he's run off to...

Don't you worry, I'm sure he's just fine!

(Looks like they also raised fowlbeasts here. The coop has collapsed, and there's nothing left.)

(*Sigh*...)

Granny, your grandson must've been real lucky. Is that a fowlbeast coop I see over there? I love me some fowlbeast eggs!

Is that so... Oh my... little fowlbeasts... golden and shiny...

The eggs... are probably crushed now...

If there are any left... you can try some...

Don't worry, it'll be fine! I'm sure we can have some later!

You're the 30th person we've rescued today. We just dug through an entire house somewhere else, and rescued a whole family...

Mm... Mm...

(Is the scan done yet?)

(Here you go.)

(Is the sinking severe?)

(...It's messy.)

(The sinking's already begun over here, but the other side of the house hasn't collapsed. Probably a different soil layer. The terrain here is... complex. The seismic waves were reflected by its shape as they passed through.)

(The whole house is twisted, and if this side is demolished, the other will lose its support and collapse. It's not an option.)

(Do we seriously have to dismantle and clear out the other side first, just to ensure stability?)

(Do we have time for that...?)

(Not a chance in hell. It's too big of a job for just the two of us anyway.)

(We'll have to talk the old lady through it first, but... if we clear out what we can and think on our feet, there might still be a way.)

Huff... Huff... Ugh...

Ever seen a Lupo before, Granny?

We'll remove the stuff on top first, clean up a little, and get you out of there!

Then you'll get to see a purple Lupo with the biggest, bushiest tail there is!

You know it! Once you're out, you can pat my tail! I bet you've never seen one as big as mine!

Mm... Mm...

Hurry up, she can't hold out much longer.

Don't fall asleep just yet! You know, my grandma is about the same age as you... And I want to try some of those eggs too!

I've already cleared all the rubble that can be safely removed. Next I'll try propping up this beam. You think it'll be stable enough?

Three, two, one... Hup!

No good! It's already starting to loosen!

Let's try over here then!

I'll hold up the middle. Head over and chip off that half while I support the other half!

Alright, just tell me when you're reaching your limits.

Don't panic, Granny, we'll... we'll definitely to save you!

One more time! I'm going to knock down this section!

Nngh! So... just you wait! We'll go find your grandson once you're safe!

Keep it steady!
