Beginning of Chapter

Raider's Base Camp/Bandits' Base Camp

US	Europe
The Beast: GYAAARRR! The Beast is hurting! I need medicine! What are you waiting for, roaches? Swarm and plunder! And don't come back without something to ease my pain!	Drakov: Gaargh! Don't tell me we're out of supplies! What are you waiting for?! Go and steal more! Gaaargh!
Raider: Um... It's not that easy. We're low on fuel and ammo. And most of our weapons were destroyed in the last battle, so--	Bandit: Umm... It's not that easy... We're low on fuel and ammo... And most of our weapons were destroyed in the last battle...
The Beast: You're THIS close to dying, boy! Whatever you need, you steal! UNDERSTOOD?	Drakov: Gaargh! Steal whatever we need! Do you understand?!
Raider: Y-yes, sir!	Bandit: Y-yes, sir...
The Beast: My leg's on fire! I can't believe those soldier boys hit ME! GYAAARRR! Gotta kill this infection and then kill me some dogfaced do-gooders!	Drakov: No food! No drink! No fuel! No ammo! Gaargh! And I've got a wounded leg! I need medicine! Once I find them, I'll tear them limb from limb! They're going to pay for this! Gaargh!
Caulder: Do you truly harbor such hatred for Captain Brenner?	Stolos: Do you really harbour such hostility towards Captain O'Brian and his Independent Legion?
The Beast: HEY! Wh-where did you come from, you freakin' ghost?	Drakov: Gaargh! Who the hell are you?! What do you want?!
Caulder: My dear Sergeant... Wait, you have no name now, do you? You're just The Beast. How appropiate. Your propensity for violence saw you expelled from the military, yes? And these past few years, you've spent each day slaking your thirst for blood and mayhem.	Stolos: Sergeant Drakov, I know all about you. I know how you were expelled from the armed forces due to your propensity for violence. I know that despite your struggle to rebuild your life, no one would give you a chance.
The Beast: B-but...how do you...	Drakov: Wh-Who...?! How...?!
Caulder: All in good time, my friend. When the meteors came, you knew just what to do, didn't you? You stole weapons and access codes, then began plundering whatever you could find. For most, the world was a living hell, but for a man like you, it was paradise. At least until Captain Brenner and his good samaritans arrived...	Stolos: And I know that when the meteors struck the Earth, you got the chance you'd waited for. You stole Commander Access Codes to gather weapons and former soldiers to fight for you... You did whatever you pleased. For most, the world was a living hell. For you, it was paradise. Then that do-gooder Captain O'Brian appeared with his Independent Legion...
The Beast: GYAAARRR! I hate him! He ruined everything! When I find him, I'm gonna rip--	Drakov: Gaargh! He ruined everything! When I find him...
Caulder: You will have your vengence. I will provide you with supplies and weapons. You desire chaos and destruction, yes? I shall see you are equipped to sate that desire.	Stolos: Good! I can feel your desire for vengeance. I can help you, Sergeant. You will have medicine... But more importantly, you will have weapons to keep living a life dedicated to pure destruction...

Lin: This is the quickest route to the Seratta mountain range.	Lin: This is the quickest route to the Seratta mountain range.
Brenner: So we'll be passing by Freehaven again, will we? I doubt they'll be happy to see us, but we should check to see if the people are safe.	O'Brian: This route will take us by Sundown Village once again. I'm not sure they'll be pleased to see us, but we should check that they're safe.
Lin: Permission to speak out of turn, sir, but I believe you're too forgiving. How can you be concerned for their welfare after the way their mayor behaved?	Lin: I don't mean to speak out of turn, but I think you are far too forgiving, Captain O'Brian. Even after the Mayor's dishonourable behavior, you remain concerned for his village's welfare?
Brenner: That doesn't mean we can abandon them.	O'Brian: I won't lie. I was angry with him. But we should still check if they're okay.
Lin: Doesn't it? They insulted you, sir. I for one couldn't care less if they were wiped from the earth.	Lin: Do you really think so? I believe that they insulted you, Captain. I really have no interest in whether their village prospers or is destroyed...
Brenner: That's enough of that, Lin.	O'Brian: Lin, please don't get angry.
Will: Captain Brenner!	Ed: Captain O'Brian, I've got news...
Brenner: What is it, Will? Are we under attack again?	O'Brian: Enemy activity?
Will: Huh? No, it's those villagers. Remember the ones we met before? They say they want to speak with you, sir.	Ed: No, it's from Sundown Village. The villagers want to speak to you...
Brenner: Is that so?	O'Brian: What do they want?
Mayor: So this last quake destroyed the remaining buildings, leaving us without food or shelter. We can't survive without assistance.	Mayor: ...and because of the earthquake, our village was destroyed and our supplies ruined... Without your help, we are doomed. Captain O'Brian, please help us!
Brenner: And what has this got to do with me?	O'Brian: ... ... ... ...
Mayor: Please, Brenner... Captain. We need your help. You have my apologies for any past--	Mayor: I'm begging you, Captain O'Brian. Help us! I'm sorry for everything I did...
Brenner: Understood. Pack your things. You're coming with us. If we can locate that factory, there should be enough food for everyone.	O'Brian: Okay. All of you, come with me. Once we locate the Bio-Crops, there will be enough food for all of us.
Mayor: Factory?	Mayor: Bio-Crops?
Brenner: That's right. If you need details, find Dr. Morris. I deal in weapons, not test tubes. All I can tell you is, it's key to getting the food we need to survive. Clear?	O'Brian: If you want details, ask Dr Moritz. Science isn't really my thing. But basically our goal is to find those Bio-Crops. Then everyone will be able to eat.
Mayor: Yes, of course. You have my gratitude. Speaking of food, my people haven't eaten in days. May I ask--	Mayor: I understand. I am deeply grateful, Captain O'Brian. Ummm... We haven't eaten for days. I wonder if you could see fit to...
Brenner: If we'll feed you? Ask away... All right. We're running short ourselves, but I'll see to it.	O'Brian: ...Okay. We are running short of supplies too, but we will find food for you and the villagers...
Lin: For someone who hasn't eaten for days, you look pretty well fed to me.	Lin: Hmmm... For someone who says he hasn't eaten in days, you look pretty well-fed to me...
Mayor: I-I beg your pardon?	Mayor: Wh-What did you say?!
Lin: I'm rather curious as to what your villagers are carrying in all those trucks. It wouldn't happen to be provisions, would it?	Lin: The villagers have a convoy of trucks which seem to contain a lot of sacks... They wouldn't happen to contain food supplies, would they?
Mayor: N-no, it's merely... How dare you? Are you implying that I'm lying?	Mayor: N-No, that's just... How dare you?! Are you calling me a liar?!
Lin: I said no such thing. I merely inferred from your robust condition that you've been eating--	Lin: I don't remember calling you anything...
Mayor: Enough! You...you uppity--	Mayor: Don't you know who I am?!
Rubinelle: Attack! We're under attack!	Laurentian: We're under attack!
Brenner: Gather your people and take cover in the rear. We'll continue this later if we survive.	O'Brian: Gather the other villagers and hide in the rear. We'll talk later, if we're both still alive...

Middle of Chapter

US	Europe
Lin: It's that same group of raiders. How is it they're still operating? And they're using this poor visibility to cover their attack. Someone must be helping them... All units, advance! Keep your eyes peeled!	Lin: Reports suggest that it is the same bandits we defeated previously. The poor visibility can be used to our advantage. All units, advance! But be careful out there!
Lin: Mark that pillar of fire! See how it illuminates the surrounding area? Looks like there's an enemy infantry unit on the other side of the river. And...there are factories there too. We need to capture them ASAP! Let's use our transport helicopters to airlift some infantry up there.	Lin: This pillar of fire illuminates the area surrounding it. It's revealing an enemy unit on the other side of the water... It also looks like there are factories in that area. Capture them ASAP! You can use Transport Helicopters - load infantry units onto them.
Lin: Infantry and mech units can be loaded onto transport copters. This is the easiest and fastest way to transport troops over long distances.	Lin: Infantry and Bazooka units can be loaded onto Transport Helicopters. This is the easiest way to transport your troops over long distances.
Brenner: Move 'em out and drop 'em off. Make sure you find someplace safe!	O'Brian: After moving the Transport Helicopter, find somewhere to drop your troops!
The Beast: Gwar har har! They ain't happy to see us, roaches! Let's bury... ungh... Ungaah...my head...so dizzy... Must be the medicine that freak gave me... But it feels good! My blood's on fire. The rage is burning me up! YESSSSS! I am reborn! The Beast will not be denied! GRAAAARRR!!! The Beast will hunt! Prepare...to...DIE!	Drakov: Har-har-har!!! They must be pleased to see us! Gaargh! I feel strange... That medicine Stolos made me take... My heart's pounding... I can't control my rage... Gaargh! Things will be different this time! I have been reborn! First O'Brian will pay. Then I'll make everyone in his Legion pay too...
Lin: Capture successfully completed! This improves visibility in the area near the base, giving us an advantage!	Lin: Capture successfully completed! This improves visibility in the area near the base, giving us an advantage!

Isabella: Oh...I... What's... Ungh...	Catleia: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... I-I... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Will: Isabella? Is something wrong? Are you feeling all right?	Ed: Catleia? What's the matter?
Isabella: I d-don't know...	Catleia: I-I feel...
Will: Isabella! Talk to me! What is it?	Ed: Catleia...! Be strong! Tell me what the matter is...
Isabella: So...dizzy...my head... 9693872914... 9693872914... I feel... funny...	Catleia: I-I...
Will: Wait a minute...	Ed: What is it?
Dr. Morris: This young man was a victim of the plant. He was about your age, Will. Curiously, the virus seems to infect only young people. You're in the right age range, Will, which means you're at risk. If you met anyone suffering from this you must stay away! Is that clear?	Dr Moritz: This victim... He was around your age, Ed. Curiously, this virus only seems to spread among young people. You are still young, Ed. Which means you are still at risk. If you meet anyone suffering from this sickness, stay away from them.
Will: No! It can't be!	Ed: No! It can't be...!
Isabella: W-Will?	Catleia: E-Ed...
Will: I'm going to get Dr. Morris! Wait here, Isabella!	Ed: I'll get Dr Moritz right away! Wait here, Catleia!
Isabella: Please...don't leave...	Catleia: ... ... ... ...
Brenner: What's all the commotion over here? Oh no... Get the doc over here! On the double!	O'Brian: What's going on here? What's the matter? ... ... ... ... Someone get a doctor! Right now!

Dr. Morris: Captain Brenner... Judging from the symptoms, there's a good chance Isabella's infected with Creeping Derangea.	Dr Moritz: Captain O'Brian... I am afraid that judging from her symptoms, there is a high possibility that it is the Floral Virus.
Brenner: The plant virus?	O'Brian: The Floral Virus...?
Dr. Morris: Yes. I've placed her in a quarantine in a temporary laboratory. She must stay there for now. There's no danger of us getting sick, but young people like Will are at risk.	Dr Moritz: She has been placed in quarantine in my mobile laboratory. For now, she should remain there. There is no risk of adults contracting the virus, but young people like Ed are at risk...
Brenner: What are you doing for her? How long until she's cured?	O'Brian: Is there any way to cure her?
Dr. Morris: Will's right about you, Captain. You truly are a caring man. But to have any hope of curing her, I would require highly specialized equipment and facilities.	Dr Moritz: Captain, you are an honourable man and I know your concern is genuine. But what can we do? To have any hopes of curing her, I would require highly-specialised equipment and facilities...
Brenner: You've got what you've got, Doc. Do your best.	O'Brian: There must be a way!
Lin: If I may, Captain? I have a thought.	Lin: Captain, I don't know if it will work, but I have an idea...
Brenner: Go ahead.	O'Brian: What is it?
Lin: The shelter the girl told us about. If it truly does exist... Perhaps it contains the medical equipment Dr. Morris requires.	Lin: If we do locate the Laurentian government's nuclear shelter which Catleia spoke of... Perhaps it contains the medical equipment we need.
Dr. Morris: You may be onto something there. A shelter like that would be completely airtight... Which means an infectious disease would spread like wildfire... Yes, they must have considered it. It's very possible they would have a contingency plan for a situation such as this.	Dr Moritz: You're right. The nuclear shelter would be a completely sealed off space... If one person was infected with a disease, it would spread to everyone in no time. That means they may well have prepared for that eventually. It's highly possible!
Brenner: I see. Good work, you two. As long as there's a chance, we keep moving.	O'Brian: As long as there is some slim hope, we can't give up. Let's find that shelter!
Brenner: Will? What are you doing out here all alone?	O'Brian: Ed? What are you doing here, all alone?
Will: Nothing. I'm just...	Ed: I'm j-just...
Brenner: I know you're worried about Isabella. That's a normal reaction. But listen, I don't want you to lose hope. As long as there's life--	O'Brian: I understand that you are worried about Catleia. That's normal... But don't look so downhearted. As long as you don't give up...
Will: I ran away. I... I ran away from her.	Ed: That's not it! Captain O'Brian... I ran away...
Brenner: What are you talking about?	O'Brian: You ran away?
Will: When I knew...when I knew Isabella was sick. I didn't go to her. I didn't want to get sick too. I was only thinking about myself. She was really scared, you know? I could see it in her eyes. She wanted me to help her, but... ...I ran away.	Ed: As soon as I realised she was ill, I stayed away from Catleia. I ran away because I wanted to save myself. I didn't think about her feelings. She was suffering so much, and all I could think about was myself. I'm gutless, Captain O'Brian. I ran away.
Brenner: You did the right thing, Will. If you'd gone to her, if you'd come into contact with her, you'd be in quarantine too.	O'Brian: Ed, what you did was right. If you had tried to comfort her, you could have ended up infected too.
Will: But you would have stayed with her, Captain! You help people. That's what you do. You're committed. You're not like me...	Ed: But... I know you would have stayed with her, Captain. You always try to help people, whatever it takes. I haven't got guts like you...
Brenner: I've spent more time running than you'll ever know, kid. Hell, I'm still running.	O'Brian: If I were you, I would have run away too. I've spent my life running away...
Will: What do you mean?	Ed: C-Captain?
Brenner: All the people I couldn't help, all the soldiers who died because I wasn't good enough... I've spent many a sleepless night telling myself it couldn't be helped, that I did all I could. That's just the sound of me running, Will. Running from a past I'll never escape...	O'Brian: There have been countless people I couldn't help. My mistakes have sent troops to their deaths. "It couldn't be helped..." "I did everything I could..." Every night, I tell myself that. I'm running away from the past, Ed...
Will: Oh...	Ed: Captain O'Brian...
Brenner: You disappointed? I was hoping I could protect the illusion for you. No matter how I grieve or regret my actions, the men who've died because of me will still be dead. But Isabella's still alive. You've got nothing to regret. There's plenty you can still do, right? For her?	O'Brian: You're disappointed, aren't you? You thought I was better than this, right? But it's too late. However much I regret it, that won't bring my troops back... But Catleia is still alive. So what have you got to regret? There are still things we can do for her. There is still hope...
Will: Sir... Yes, sir!	Ed: Yes, Captain!
Brenner: Just remember, Will. Where there's life...	O'Brian: That's more like it...
Will: There's hope!	Ed: There is still hope!

The Beast: NOOOOOOO! Must...escape... But this was just a taste, losers! Now that I've got a weapons supplier, I'll be making your lives miserable. Sleep lightly, soldier boy! The Beast rules the night! GYAAARRR!	Drakov: Gaargh! I've got to escape! But this was just a sneak preview - we've got tonnes more weapons... And we're going to enjoy using them all on you! Har-har-har!!!
Lin: All enemy units have been accounted for. This battle's over.	Lin: There are no signs of enemy activity. Our mission has been successful.
Brenner: Somebody tell me where those raiders got all that firepower?	O'Brian: But how could those bandits still have had that amount of weaponry left?
Lin: I can't understand it, sir. We destroyed everything they had...	Lin: I can't understand it. We completely destroyed most of their forces...
Will: Captain! The raiders' leader managed to get away. Looks like he hid in a pile of corpses, then snuck off when it was safe.	Ed: Captain! It seems that the commander of the bandits managed to escape... Apparently, he played dead to avoid detection and then fled...
Brenner: That doesn't bode well... I'm sure we'll see his ugly face again. But we've got our own goal to reach. Let's move out!	O'Brian: So, he's still at large... I doubt we've seen the last of him. But for now, we have achieved our goal. Let's advance!
