[ There's a
large white mech kneeling on one knee at the beach, with a certain young drywall standing by its foot. If you're close enough you'll realize he's talking; what's more, the mech seems to be talking back. ]
Al, all intel points to this being the same island as last time; if Miss Renge's testimony holds true, then that's the case. Confirm.
{Affirmative, Sergeant. The geographical layout is identical, as well as the undefined barrier surrounding the perimeter. This would seem to be the "Island".}
I thought so. Nearby familiar AS units?
{Negative. No identified units in range.}
No surprise. Very well, then. We should begin a sweep of the island, to confirm whether any of our former allies are still present. Do you still have visual data on those persons?
{Affirmative. I can recognize them on sight. In particular, if I find Miss Hisui, should I tell her you want to give her a handshake?}
You're not funny. In any case, please advise if any such targets are located.
