(Id: 'rabbitHalmet') Listen, I know Lobotomy Corporation is an important client and all, but don’t you guys renew the contract too often? ??? (Id: 'rabbitHalmet') This place is so grimy, it’s like a dungeon. I always get a bad vibe. Angela (Id: 'angela') Please hold for a moment, Rabbit Captain. We need to explain what we’re doing here to the manager. ??? (Id: 'rabbitHalmet') Oh, he still doesn’t know who I am? Go on and explain it quickly, then. Angela (Id: 'angela') …..This must be the first time you’ll participate in a meeting with an outside party, manager. Angela (Id: 'angela') As was mentioned a few times prior, our company has initiated contracts with some of the other Wings for sustainable development and business opportunities. Angela (Id: 'angela') It is also my job to renew those contracts with our associate Wings when the moment arises. Angela (Id: 'angela') All that is needed from you is to be our token manager and present yourself in that role. I shall handle the rest of the formalities and procedures. ??? (Id: 'rabbitHalmet') Pff, “associate Wing”? What’s with that boring introduction? Angela (Id: 'angela') You may feel free to provide more detailed information at a later time in private, Myo. For now, let us start the meeting. Angela (Id: 'angela') ….Speaking of, would you be so kind as to remove your helmet? At least for the duration of the meeting. ??? (Id: 'rabbitHalmet') You’re kidding! The helmet is the whole identity of the Rabbits! SYSTEM: HIDE character: ??? (id: 'rabbitHalmet') SYSTEM: SHOW character: Myo (id: 'rabbit') at 'left-full', direction: 'right' Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Well, fine, it’s whatever. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') I just gotta brief the content of the contract from my end, right? Myo (Id: 'rabbit') I mean… Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Ugh, I’m sick of reading this out over and over… You can just look at the contract for the whole damn thing. Do I really have to say it one more time? Angela (Id: 'angela') As I informed you prior, it’s part of the formal procedure. Angela (Id: 'angela') I myself have to specify whether or not you agree to the terms again. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Still as strict as ever, aren’t you. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Allow me to explain our services first. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Company R will provide military support and protection from all external threats to Company L. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Every branch of Lobotomy Corporation will be included under the term “Company L”, however there will be certain exceptions where a branch may not be considered under the designation. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Well, I say “exceptions”, but we’re willing to let it slide unless it involves the Head or the Eye. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Company L will provide the energy Company R needs to maintain its operation. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') This renewal process also includes a prerequisite that invokes a mutual and continual agreement between Company W and Company L. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') And, let’s see… Company L will provide all specialized ammunition utilized for the killing of Abnormalities. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') All Rabbit Team members will have their memories erased after the completion of their missions. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') There will be no questions or concerns raised about the peculiarity of the facilities or purposes of this location. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') And finally, I, as the captain of the Rabbit Team, will deploy my team following Company R’s guidelines and assume the role of command for operations taking place in this facility. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') That should be everything. Look through the written contract for the finer details. Angela (Id: 'angela') There has been no change in the agreement with Company W. Angela (Id: 'angela') Along with that, the renewal period will be 1 year, just as before. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Yeah, sure, it’s one year for you, but… okay, then. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') On a side note, can you please do something about the teleporter to make the process a bit smoother? It feels like my body’s being taken apart piece by piece and thrown out a window. Angela (Id: 'angela') I am afraid you will need to ask Company W about that. It’s out of our control. Angela (Id: 'angela') Hm, Gebura, why do you have such an expression? Gebura (Id: 'gebura') Why are little bunnies being let out of their cages and dispatched here of all places? Myo (Id: 'rabbit') You must really not know a thing if you’re looking down on the Rabbits! Myo (Id: 'rabbit') It’s already been concluded that the Rabbits are the most fit for the honorable task of slaughtering in this place. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') The Rhinos would most certainly smash this entire place beyond recognition. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') And the Reindeer, with the exception of the machines that work here, would cause irreversible damage to mister manager over there. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Miss Angela made it explicitly clear to not hurt or affect the manager. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') We always pay special attention to our client’s requests. Gebura (Id: 'gebura') I’m not talking about your damn Rhinos or Deer! Gebura (Id: 'gebura') I’m saying that we can handle our own problems! We don’t need any outsiders to interfere. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') What’s that? What can YOU do with that flimsy tin body of yours, huh? Myo (Id: 'rabbit') You seem much weaker than us now, can’t you see that? Myo (Id: 'rabbit') If you were like how you once were back in the day, then maybe it’d be a different story. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') But look at you now! As soon as you set foot into the Backstreets you’ll be torn limb from limb by those Sweepers. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') The old days when you shredded everything before you into a red mist is now lost to the past. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Things have changed. You should realize that. Gebura (Id: 'gebura') If I wanted to, I could tear up a tiny Rabbit like you in seconds... Angela (Id: 'angela') Please, everyone, we need to focus on the topic at hand. Angela (Id: 'angela') Gebura, our agreement with the Rabbit Team is to help us be prepared for the worst-case scenario that will be beyond our own abilities. Angela (Id: 'angela') I’m certain that you have learned this from your experiences with previous suppressions. Angela (Id: 'angela') The combat skills of the mercenaries sent to us by Company R are on par with those of the other Wings. Gebura (Id: 'gebura') We can handle our problems on our own perfectly fine! Gebura (Id: 'gebura') I can prove it right here, right now if you want… Angela (Id: 'angela') I have compiled the statistics. The amount of data is too vast for any person to calculate, with my exception of course. Angela (Id: 'angela') The reason I continue to contract the Rabbits is that the risk of involving outsiders pales to the potential of our worst-case scenarios. They’re worth every penny. Angela (Id: 'angela') However, the Rabbits will not intervene with general suppression. Angela (Id: 'angela') Please calm down and analyze the situation reasonably, Gebura. Gebura (Id: 'gebura') ……. Angela (Id: 'angela') That should be all for renewing our contract. Angela (Id: 'angela') Gebura is the one in charge of the basic suppression process. Angela (Id: 'angela') So if you need any advice or help regarding combat, just ask her. SYSTEM: HIDE character: Angela (id: 'angela') Myo (Id: 'rabbit') I’m afraid I don’t have a single, itty bitty question for you. We Rabbits have our own way of handling things. Gebura (Id: 'gebura') ...Nor do I have anything left to say to you filthy animals. Gebura (Id: 'gebura') You’ve done your business, how about you just bunnyhop away now? Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Sheesh, you’re being so harsh to a fellow native of the Backstreets. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') You wouldn’t happen to be mad at me because I made fun of you earlier, are you? Gebura (Id: 'gebura') Don’t act like you know me. I’m not in the mood for your stupid games, so just shut up. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Aha! I get it now. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') You’re mad because you feel we interrupt your fight, aren't you? Gebura (Id: 'gebura') Yeah, I don’t need any help from the likes of you. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Well, it’s not like we’re here for a greater cause or some ulterior motive. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') We just drop by quickly when we’re called, and vanish without a trace just the same when it’s time. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') I thought you were just like me, finding joy in the slaughter. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') But as it turns out, you’re just crazy. SYSTEM: Play BGM: '1 - Cryptic' Myo (Id: 'rabbit') A complete wacko. Gebura (Id: 'gebura') ……. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') We are the Rabbits who hop around following orders to find fresh patches of grass, but you’re different. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') You used to know who you were supposed to fight, who your enemy was. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') You wouldn’t believe how shocked I was to find you. I never expected to see the fabled hero like… well, this. And in a drab basement too. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') The hero I remember was someone who wasn’t afraid of shedding blood to protect others with all her might. Please don’t taint the fond memories I have of you.

All of them? Employee (Id: 'employee') Probably, there won’t be any survivors left… Employee (Id: 'employee') Abnormalities aren’t something we can handle on our own... Employee (Id: 'employee') You’re in danger too, ma’am… You’d best escape now… SYSTEM: HIDE character: Kali (id: 'geburaPast') SYSTEM: remove_filter ( filter: 'blood_hit' ) SYSTEM: Set BACKGROUND: 'warehouseBK_2', effect: 'none' SYSTEM: SHOW character: Gebura (id: 'gebura2') at 'right-full' Christopher (Id: 'christopher') Gebura, I’m going to take part in an experiment pretty soon. Christopher (Id: 'christopher') We’ll probably see each other again, but just in case, I want to say one thing… Christopher (Id: 'christopher') Please take good care of Isabel and my little Gilly while I’m gone. SYSTEM: SHOW character: Angela (id: 'angela') at 'left-full', direction: 'right' Angela (Id: 'angela') Are Abnormalities able to feel human emotion when confronted with a person of close relation? Angela (Id: 'angela') What choice would they make when faced with such a situation? Angela (Id: 'angela') The experiments… seem to have yielded the expected results. Employee (Id: 'employee') Excuse me, Lady Angela, what should I do with these? There’s a blanket and a few feeding bottles left. Angela (Id: 'angela') I have gotten all the results I need from this experiment. Angela (Id: 'angela') The owners are no more, so you can simply discard them. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Hey….

Did you just shut down or what? Myo (Id: 'rabbit') I really should be going. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') Whelp, I don’t think next we meet will be on such calm waters. Myo (Id: 'rabbit') The Rabbits will leave now. SYSTEM: HIDE character: Myo (id: 'rabbit') SYSTEM: Stop BGM Gebura (Id: 'gebura') ….. Gebura (Id: 'gebura') I’m definitely not the hero. Gebura (Id: 'gebura') Never have been, and never will be…
