"..."
Commander in chief Roland Antov stands in front of a new place of interest in Alhambra - a memorial. Written on a heavy slab are names of those who gave their lives during service to Unity Group. Kanade Amou, Yancy Beckett, Denzel Hammer - these are only the most recent names. And there are surely more to come.
"No one ever said this is going to be easy..."
The commander mutters to himself. Are you here to talk to him, or to pay respects?
[2 - locked, NPC log only]
"Is this a joke?"
The commanders have gathered for an emergency report. They all stare at the lone paper lying on Antov's desk, surrounding it from all directions.
"I agree that Unity Group has suffered a lot of setbacks recently. Mission ended in failure..."
"We lost access to La Gias."
"Political support for Unity Group is waning."
"Then why did we receive a commendation and a budget increase?"
They all turn to face the inspector. Who curtly responds with...
"The Lady's Good Men cell was destroyed."
"Umm. Please do not understand me or my people wrong, inspector - this is good news. But... are our sponsors only interested in the Good Men?"
"I only relay the news." He starts gathering himself up, but before leaving, the inspector turns to say...
"Nobody forces me to be happy about it of course. But one of them..."
"Yes?"
"One of your sponsors is glad. Unity Group allows his nephew to play the hero, save the world. Keep up the good work."

It doesn't take long for Antov to notice he is not alone.
"This place is for everyone to pay their honors. Don't mind me being here."

Antov sighs.
"You're all under my command. I feel responsible when people don't return safely. Even when it's because of something beyond my control."

Have you heard anything about how Tsubasa's been doing since leaving?

Antov clenches his teeth, frustrated.
"My jurisdiction begins and ends with Unity Group. I can't do anything about people who aren't part of it anymore."
