9:00 A.M. / Overcast

14 hours before the attack on L. G. D. Headquarters

'Bad Guy' - 300 Meters above 'District 14' of Chernobog

Mission objective: Join forces with Rhodes Island to rescue the reconnaissance team

Assigned assets:

'Bad Guy' and its pilot; Rhodes Island elite operator Blaze and her team.

14 individuals.

This is your stop. Amiya and her people are nearby!

Was it really okay to drop the team outside the city? You're gonna go down there by yourself?!

Come on, it's a lot better for them to be out there clearing a path and pushing back Reunion's pursuit forces than to fight here.

Okay. The terrain down there is pretty rough. This is as far as I can take you.

It's fine.

...At least let me put down a rope for you?

When have you ever seen me use a rope?

You're just gonna go for it again, huh?

Go for what? What are you talking about?

Every time we have a mission together, you go off and do crazy stuff while I sit in the cockpit on pins and needles and watch.

I'm kind of used to it, but that doesn't change the fact that you're way too reckless out there.

That just goes to show you what a good rapport you, me, and my team have!

Rapport my ass! Last time you demolished a town, bombed out a reservoir, and collapsed a mine!

Keep the chaos on the ground please, don't bring it onto my baby!

Fine, fine. I got it. But, 'Bad Guy,' really? Maybe think a little harder next time you pick a name.

Just jump already.

I think the welcoming committee's spotted us. This is where we say goodbye, Blaze.

No problem.

I'll wait for you by the entrance to the ruins. Be quick!

Huh? The comms.

HELLO?!

I can hear you! You don't have to yell!

Oh. Hi, Rhodes Islanders. I'm with the L. G. D. I've met up with your team by the ruins!

Didn't the L. G. D. withdraw already? What are you trying to pull?

I'm not like that Ch'en lady! Trust me, I can help you.

And how should we call you?

Use my codename. Call me Officer Swire!

Isn't Swire just your name?

Blaze, can you take care of this? I'm not good with bureaucrats...

......Blaze?

Don't look at me.

Get back here! Don't jump!

Didn't you tell me to jump a second ago? You can handle this. I believe in you! *Mwah*

Mwah my ass!

*Pant* *pant*...

...Is she okay?

Yes, it's nothing serious. Just her body temperature's a little low.

It's always... low. I'm fine. I just...

Frostleaf, slow down. Your temperature is even lower than usual.

Doctor, pass me a bandage.

Here.

I told you, I'm fine. Meteorite got hit a lot harder.

It's okay. I'm a Sarkaz. I'm more worried about you.

Jessica, what is Yeti Squad doing?

Th- they're approaching our position! About 500 meters out!

And the debris clearing?

We need about fifteen more minutes. The collapsed building has a pretty complicated superstructure and we can't risk blasting here.

Meteorite, get ready to fight. We have to hold this line.

Roger. Do we have a stock of bolts?

Yes. Logistics can get them for you...

Amiya, are you there?

...guh.

Did somebody leave their comms open?

This is the elite operators' channel, I can open it from my end.

That voice...?

Oh no. They sent her.

Um... who is it?

Yes, who is this? And what's got her so excited?;......;Can she really make a difference here?

They call her Blaze. She can certainly level the whole area and leave everyone pissing themselves.

Damn right it's me! But that last part is a little off.

Please... let's be serious here.

Where are you, Blaze? We need your support.

I'm right above you.

What?

Just about 200 meters to go and I'll be there!

I can't hit the machine, it's out of range!

Flying machines... they have such equipment?

Make sure they do not come down.

Wipe out the Rhodes Island squad before their reinforcements arrive. They cannot be allowed to join forces.

Wait.

———Stand back!

She jumped again?

She jumped again.

We can jump together sometime, Amiya! If you want.

I think I'll take a rain check. Where's your team?

I left them outside the city. They'll be here in a bit.

I can't hear anything over the wind. Turn off your comms!

Everyone... move to support Blaze.

Dr. {@nickname}, no matter what she says...

...just nod.

It dropped something...

...a person?

There's only one. But keep your guard up.

I sense a heat. She's using some kind of temperature Arts.

Hello, Reunion friends.

I don't like fighting other Infected. But I heard you hurt some of my Rhodes Island co-workers...

And you're still after my buddies. So I'm going to have to put a stop to that.

Aren't you mouthy...

Hi. How you doing, Miss Frosty?

I wanna see what happens when my hot meets your cold.
