Now she lives up to her song's title

[Team Jelba... gone.  Just... gone.  Captain Symphonia.  Alfredo.  Vasquez.  Rubio.  More than her friends, her family.  The people she'd been intending to catch up with after months separated from them.  People she knew and trusted and fought hard to avenge.  Hard enough that the Gesterben is just barely more than a pile of scrap.]

Why, Captain...?

Why did you have us all march into that deathtrap?  You wouldn't have sold us out so... why...?

And you're SURE?



Absolutely!  'Operation Doll's' orders are dated after Ingram's defection and the files aren't fabricated!

[The other two surviving members of Team Jelba are handling this... a bit better.  Not much though.]



... Of all the rotten luck then... Those files are probably only going to raise more questions and never provide answers even if we get them cracked.  Ingram's going to pay for this.  Him and his 'friend'...

If you still have the schematics for the AS in you... it might be wise to make the most of them.  Selena's going to need something if she's going to keep fighting, and I'd rather she have the best we can give her.

Start salvaging everything you can from everyone's machines.  The ground team's mechs should still be fine, so that means that the Captain's Prism Phantom'll at least be an option for her.

Major Ingram again. Even after his betrayal, he still manages to find ways to disrupt our operations. With tragic results.

[prismphantom]

I just hope that nobody in the upper brass gets the idea of trying to paint the Captain as a traitor or anything. He'd never sell us out to the Balmarians, especially when he got killed anyways!

If anyone expresses such statements, I will have a few words with them. Even at the very end, Captain Symphonia prioritized the safety of his underlings; this is not how a traitor who sold them out to the enemy acts.

He's half the reason that the whole team was able to stay alive up until... what happened. If he really had planned something with Ingram, he must've had good reasons for it.

We're all just left in the dark about it because... because of what happened.

How is lieutenant Recital holding up? I would not be surprised if she prefers to be left alone for a while.

[deathflag_survivor]

Worse than I am, let me tell you that. At least in my case... I've had to go through something like this before. This... it's all new for Selena. Though I'd imagine it'd be even worse if she didn't have the Unity Group.

[abugslife]

She will need time. Loss hits hardest when you experience it for the first time.

To find out about the goals of Ingram, and the reason Balmarians were there, we will need to assemble a whole picture from the tiny scraps we were given. And most of the scraps seem to be missing. It is a monumental task, but a crucial one if you want to avenge your fallen team.

[prismphantom]

You can count on me to uncover the truth! It might be nearly impossible... but I won't rest until I manage to decode the files for Operation Doll I have.

I owe it to Selena... I owe it to everyone here for helping us fight back!

[abugslife]

Good. Let me know if you find something, or encounter an obstacle where you will need help. I am sure Unity Group can spare some hardware to do the time-consuming calculations for you.
