Young Ahsahren Woman:
What about us?
"We'll always have Ahsarah," you said,
before picking up a gun and going to war.
Once again, you've broken my heart tonight.
You used to hate those people.
You resisted them for so long,
just to end up fighting the war for them.
I'm human, not a robot.
If your conscience is still intact,
you will get your ass back here
before I'm forced to find a new father for our newborn baby.

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
Haavk's forces have seized control of this desert,
setting up checkpoints and ambushing vehicles to steal supplies,
turning the area into a war zone.
Today, we show them the true meaning of force.
Your orders are clear.
Break through their lines and reclaim the stolen supplies.
Neutralize any forces that try and stop you.
Weapons ready. You're approaching the first objective now.
Missiles incoming! Find cover!

Nadia:
Amir, we haven't heard from you since the reports that Skynet went down.
The women of Ahsarah are not in the habit of sitting at home waiting for their men.

It's just my luck that of all the cities in the world, you came to Ahsarah,
and of all the inns in Asara, you walked into mine. I've set out with our daughter.

I want you to get a good look at our child before you fall,
and for our daughter to see what an ass her father is with her own eyes.

Young Ahsahren Woman:
Mike, when your father received the envelope with the enclosed ring,
he was convinced that you and I still loved each other,
and that I'd understand your decision to return to the front line.
He was right — for a time.

I believed my love could match your idealism.
But, I've been fighting a losing battle.
I'll always love you,
but you're destined to forge your legend,
And I can't wait for my life any longer.

I need to find my own path, as you have yours.

Haavk Top Executive (Female):
Negotiations have failed.
War has torn this land apart, leaving it cracked.
And G.T.I. is determined to extend the conflict.
Hold position as they launch an assault on our objective.
If you are pushed back,
set up defenses in the buildings beyond the highway.
And pin them down while our tanks squash them.
Truth will prevail.
Attention! Enemy incoming!
Missiles fire!
All personnel to the front line immediately!

Narrator (Elderly Male):
In the aftermath of the satellite crash,
wives of Haavk soldiers began sending letters to G.T.I. troops.
Initial suspicions that this was an attempt by Haavk
to undermine G.T.I. were investigated.
But a chilling reality emerged:
soldiers from different nations have found themselves in unfamiliar territory,
fighting against others from around the world.
Each bullet they fired eventually found its way back to them in return.
War has ensnared us all in its relentless grip,
and no one is immune to its devastating consequences.

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
Haavk has been stockpiling military equipment and stolen resources in this private facility.
Not on our watch.
Our mission is clear: scale the mountain, take the spire,
and bring the facility into our control.
We've already secured the shoreline,
and fighter jets are tearing through Haavk's defenses as I speak —
the time to act is now, operators.
Take the peak — the facility and this area are in your hands.

Young Ahsahren Woman (Press/Film):
As I lay here on a stretcher,
I'm reminded of my first encounter with the true face of war.
I had just arrived on set to film a reenactment
when we found ourselves swept into the middle of a real battle.
At first, I thought it was part of the performance,
but when blood from a nearby soldier splattered across the camera lens,
I realized the shocking reality of the situation in Ahsarah.

Jacob Haavk:
With the Skynet upgrade,
"The sky belongs to Haavk" is no longer an empty phrase.
This is not all we've achieved,
it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Skynet,
Relink,
Mandelbricks,
Aerospace Engineering.

These are the building blocks that will create the foundation for our new world.
Haavk's blueprint for a resource-equal society has been drawn with precision,
and construction is well underway.

Zoya Pomchenkova(Toxik):
Nox, given your difficult past, I've chosen to interpret your paranoia as caution.
However, since Skynet's upgrade, several reeling subjects like you have been recaptured.
Only Dr. Rometheus and I know what's going on with that thing in your head.
If you want to escape Haavk, you need to act quickly.

Here's my proposal.
I help you remove your Re-link.
You help us take down Skynet.

Let's keep it simple, eh?
My patience is running thin.

Haavk Top Executive (Female):
Intel indicates that G.T.I. plans a land-and-attack
and will soon be landing on the shore.
Remain calm and take full advantage of the high ground.
Pick them out.
Do not fall for G.T.I.'s hollow peacekeeping rhetoric —
it's a ploy to steal our resources.
Here they come.
You have everything you need to succeed.
Make sure they crumble under the weight of our might.

Narrator (Middle-aged Male):
In years to come, few will remember the origin of this war —
the gunfire that erupted at the Sparkling Empress Hotel
that shattered any chance of negotiation with Jacob Haavk.
Hatred and violence only intensified afterward.
The new Tower of Babel was attacked,
Skynet was destroyed,
and bullets became the new currency with which survival was bought.
The gears of war are turning faster,
and the ideals we once held sacred have faded into history.

Haavk Executive (Male — identity unconfirmed):
Forget about the past.
Our clocks may be reset, but we can never go back to yesterday.

Don't ask when the war will end —
that's not on Haavk's agenda.

The attack on Space City's opening ceremony,
and the bomb at the Tower of Babel launch event,
have shown us: people only believe in truth brought to them by violence.

We have no choice.
We must take this fight wherever doubt in our great cause persists. 

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
The time to strike is now.
A tsunami has exposed multiple points of entry to this Haavk stronghold,
throwing their forces into disarray.
We'll be capitalizing on this opportunity
by coming at them with paratroopers, armored vehicles, and infantry.
Use any cover you can find to take out their troops,
advance past their defenses,
and secure solid evidence of their crimes.
Do NOT let me down, operator.

Newscaster (Female):
It might sound unbelievable, but it's true.
Haavk are recruiting incarcerated criminals into their forces.
The public eye and media outlets have recently turned their focus
to a group of Haavk prisoners on the field.
In electronic cuffs.
These were once thieves, murderers and drug lords
who have been placed into Haavk's army through so-called redemption contracts.
Early opinions on the matter collectively agreed that
war is not the stage for redemption.
And the prisoners are nothing more than fuel for the Haavk war machine.

Haavk Top Executive (Female):
Emergency alert!
A tsunami has resulted in major collapses in our defenses.
Our intel tells us that G.T.I. has been taking advantage of it and launched an attack.
In the wake of disaster,
they cannot resist fanning the flames of conflict.
Find and take out any G.T.I. forces you see.
Fortify and secure all weak points.
Beware of paratroopers from above.
Show them no mercy.
Throw them into the sea if you must.

Elderly Ahsarahen Woman:
Bastian. We can't reach you on the dedicated lines.
By the time you receive this, your father may be dead.
There's a traitor in our midst.
The Raunchun Mine was attacked by thugs in the night.
And your brother and I are also wounded.
Those who covet this land are showing their true colors.
Our family is in grave danger.
You must put whatever grudges you hold against this family aside
and fight alongside them.
Our family traditions depend on it.

Narrator (Elderly Male):
A group of prisoners marked with inmate ID numbers have appeared on the field.

Some killed to settle old scores,
some killed to earn their freedom,
and some just want to be part of the chaos.

They no longer believe in judgment-only war,
the great equalizer of mankind.

It destroys the good and the bad alike,
wiping out anyone who second-guesses its nature.

Young Ahsahren Soldier (Male):
Amir, I'm saddened by your decision to side with Haavk.
Today, I encountered an old friend from Tide Prison.
He screamed to his squadmates in one breath
and then praised me as a good soldier in the next.
I said, "You too?"
before driving my blade into his chest.
At first, I believed he was unaware that his comrades were dead.
What happened next made me realize I survived by sheer luck.
I hope we do meet again someday, Amir.
And that fortune shines on both of us.

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
1 hour ago, G.T.I. forces secured evidence that Haavk is developing biotoxins
in this hidden lab.
Your mission is simple: penetrate their defensive lines and seize the biotoxins.
When the flare goes up, conduct a swift and aggressive attack,
clearing the train yard and tunnels of any Haavk forces
before advancing to the lab.
If we fail, who knows what horrors will be unleashed on the world.

Anaïs Desmoulins:
Kami.
Your uncertainty stems from the fact that history is written by the victors.
It is too concise and passes over the true details of the defeated side.
Haavk never initiated a war.
We sought to compromise.
But our enemies want only to win.
The world cannot see the future we have presented,
and it is in the habit of shooting down what it does not yet understand.
If you are to be a historian, as I hope,
your mother expects that you will faithfully record
Haavk's struggles to build a new world.
And I, for one, will make sure that victory is ours.

Haavk Top Executive (Female):
One hour ago, G.T.I. forces blew our defenses and infiltrated our tunnels.
They are attempting to sabotage our efforts to establish crops in this area.
Set up defenses in the train yard and eliminate as many enemy forces as you can.
If you are overcome, fall back into the tunnels and defend them with all your might.
If you care about the future of this world, defend this lab with everything you have.

Ahsahren Male:
Hassan.
There was a time I thought grenades were the most dangerous weapons.
Even if they didn't kill you, they ruined you.
Later, drones changed my mind.
And today, the gun of a teenager made me realize
that the most lethal weapon
...is the heart of a man.
Make no mistake, sentiment and luck are not your allies here.
Be ruthless.
That's my final advice to you.

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
It is imperative that we disrupt the research and development of Haavk's Re-link.
To avoid being flanked, you must first break through the enemy's fortified trenches,
taking out any artillery positions they have established.
Clear the villages at the foot of the mountain,
and then push towards the target.
...Windy Ridge Power Station.
Fight your way to the control room
and cut off their power supply for mission success.
Take Re-link off the table. We move at dusk.

Young Ahsahren Woman:
History was never meant to be a collection of dusty artifacts
or cold, hard dates.
It is a living, breathing testament to our choices.
Ahsarah's story is being written in blood and fire right now.
Haavk claims they're here to save our past,
while G.T.I. says they're protecting our future.
But while they fight over their version of the 'truth',
the people of Ahsarah are losing everything.
We're not just numbers on a casualty list.
We are the legacy that's being erased.

Female Reporter:
"The Mandelbrick provides connectivity."
"Re-link reinvents the future, and Skynet pushes boundaries."
Haavk has woven a web of global influence with their tech.
But G.T.I. continues to question their intentions.
G.T.I. has successfully disrupted flights between Vamela and Fjord airports,
have been shelling Windy Ridge day and night,
and have exposed inhumane experiments conducted by Haavk
in the production of their Re-link devices.
Monica, it's clear that tensions are at an all-time high.
And I fear revolt is on the horizon.

Zoya Pomchenkova (unconfirmed):
Romi.
You are hunting down the escaped subjects like rabid dogs.
You subjected them to torture,
and now you seek to control them with the upgraded Skynet!?
When we developed Re-link, our goal was to help people,
not use them as weapons.
The world is full of darkness.
But that doesn't justify your crimes.
And I *REFUSE* to accept a future built on evil.
Next time we meet,
my bullet will shatter more than just your ego.
Consider your next move.
...Very carefully.

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
Intel reports haavk in developing
military-grade Re-link units to mass-produce perfect soldiers.
An army with a single unified will.

No fear, no doubt.
This could mean the end of humanity as we know it. 

Our vanguard's initial assault has broken their defenses.
The tide of battle is turning.

Now's the time.
Strike and dismantle their production line.

Make sure this abomination dies on the drawing board.

Haavk Executive (Female):
Relink.
Success has G.T.I. scratching their heads,
and they can't help but retaliate.
The trenches are your front line of defense —
hold them here with all your might.
Use artillery to carry out long-range strikes.
If they push through, form defensive lines at the village.
Their final target is our power supply.
Windy Ridge Power Station.
Do not let them gain access to the control room
and cut off our power.
Hold The station — Relink depends on it.

Narrator (Elderly Male):
"We are doomed, but the future is bright." —
The last words of a soldier caught by a sniper in a trench ambush.
Haavk scientist Dr. Rometheus defended their projects
following the downing of his Blue Eagle helicopter.
Accusing G.T.I. of trying to drown out
the global applause that Haavk has received for their research.
He added that Haavk's security and PR directors
were too busy to address the media.
Whatever the case, it's clear that Re-link is indeed reshaping the future.
The question remains whether that future is one of
a tech-filled utopia,
or a war-torn wasteland.

Zoya, what happened?
I haven't lost it. The world has.
We're not building a utopian fairy tale.
We're creating a whole new Tower of Babel.
There's no point in discussing right and wrong
when the rules of the world are antiquated.
I rejoiced in your return.
And now I wish for your departure from this mess.
However, we both chose our own path.
Fate doesn't fight for us.
If I am to die by your hand,
I believe it will be the best way for my story to end.

Dr. Rometheus (unconfirmed):
Zoya, have you ever seen a scalpel that wasn't eventually bloodied?
You know how it is.
Experiments come at a price.
Advances in medicine are paid for in life.
We have little time left to improve the world.

当哈佛克致力于人类的未来时，
G.T.I. 却致力于用最恶毒的语言抹黑我们的研究，

但他们不会得逞。

根据战场态势精简防线，
舍弃不利防守的区域，

将有限的兵力部署在更具战术价值的阵地。

We will not let it fall into enemy hands.

Bury them here with everything they tried to steal from us.

Young Ahsahren Woman:
The Zero Dam is not only an architectural miracle, but also a landmark
symbolizing cooperation between the Ahsarah royal family and Haavk.
But today, it has once again become a theater of war.
In an attempt to flood Ahsarah and justify their intervention in the region,
G.T.I. claimed that the attack on the town
was a false flag action organized by Haavk.
Each side tells a different story, but there is only one truth.

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
We have done everything in our power
to reveal Haavk's motives to the people of Ahsarah.
We exposed their ploy to restore the dam
in order to station troops in the area.
We uncovered the truth behind the destruction of the dam.
We proved that Haavk has devastated Ahsarah for their own gain.
But Haavk doesn't seem to get the message.
Today, we'll use firepower to make it clear.
They're not welcome here.

Young Ahsahren Male:
Amir, I need you and the strength behind you.
You must think I've been swayed by Zoya.
But when faced with collapsed dams and surging floods,
the confusion and anger in my heart are the same as yours.
This was once the pride of Ahsarah, and now it's the front line of a war.
As Zoya said,
blowing the dam, sending in troops, repairing the dam...
this is a front for Haavk to regain control of the region.
We must join forces again.
We have our differences, but we also have a common goal
in protecting Ahsarah.

Haavk Executive (Female):
We have a responsibility to prove to the people of Ahsarah
that G.T.I. is influencing them with carefully woven lies.
Who caused the destruction of the Skynet satellite?
Who destroyed the dam?
Who has been dragging Ahsarah into the abyss of disaster?
G.T.I.
The fate of Ahsarah is on a knife edge.
We must show its people that we stand with them
and force G.T.I. to answer for their crimes.

Narrator (Male):
Ahsarah has fallen into dire straits.
There is only one consensus on Zero Day:
that its breach was not a natural disaster, but a man-made tragedy.
Rescue efforts in the area were made nearly impossible
by the battle that ensued,
exacerbating division in Ahsarah.
Some believe Haavk is responsible,
while others claim the attack was perpetrated by G.T.I.
in an attempt to drive Haavk out.
Rumors are in abundance among the locals,
who seem apathetic to the truth.

Middle-aged Ahsarahen Male:
Ali, you are not wrong to be angry.
I've picked up arms not because I lust for battle, or money, or power.
I've done it for the future of our unborn child.
Haavk's dam saved us from a decade of flooding,
and gave us electricity and clean water.
I must help them win this war.
If I don't make it home,
I want you to know that
watching sunsets with you were the happiest moments of my life.

G.T.I. Commander (Male) Speaking:
Taking the Skynet satellite down has infuriated them.
Having started a covert weapons research program in an abandoned mine
that, if successful, will tip the balance of this war in their favor —
fortunately, our special operations team has already destroyed
their transport line into the facility.
You are now tasked with finishing the job.
Fight your way into the mine and destroy anything
that gives power to the Haavk war machine.
The well-being of this world depends on you.

※英語自信ニキの修正お待ちしてます

Young Ahsahren Soldier (Male):
Father, I'm sorry that we must part ways again.
When I was last on the front line,
I experienced the same trauma that war brought to you.
And I started to understand your concerns.
But if we cease to resist and continue to remain silent,
and allow Haavk to develop weapons of great destruction,
everything we cherish will be crushed.
Our attack is not to conquer,
but to defend —
to defend our way of life,
to defend our values,
to defend our homes.

Young Ahsahren Woman:
A feeling of powerlessness and fear shrouds the area.
The derailed train sliding into the abyss of chaos below...
a perfect metaphor for Ahsarah today.
Haavk and G.T.I. emphasize the legitimacy of their actions with gunfire.
The fog of war obstructs our vision,
and the sound of bombs drown out the cries from the locals.
Kevlar vests and helmets are no match for the violence
that has descended on the region.

※英語自信ニキの修正お待ちしてます

Haavk Top Executive (Female):
Pay no attention to the accusations made by G.T.I.
They have turned into rabid dogs, sabotaging Skynet,
destroying our transport lines and stealing the energy resources
we would have used to create a better world.
A new order must be established.
G.T.I. is on the offensive and will strike at any moment.
It's up to you to do what must be done.
Once a rabid dog is unleashed, put them down.

Young Ahsahren Male:
Father, I remember your warning.
That war only leads to ashes,
and I would be nothing more than cannon fodder.
But I can't hide away in safety as you do
while people suffer.
I can't live in a world that I loathe.
And I'm willing to help build a world that I love.
A world that I will build with Haavk.
Even if I do become cannon fodder,
I believe part of me will remain
in the ashes that the new world is built upon.

Narrator (Neutral, Middle-aged Male):
Haavk has accused G.T.I. of disrupting their mines and transport routes,
while G.T.I. claims Haavk is restoring a secret weapons development site.

A Haavk general refused to comment on the war,
but a soldier reported he's better off
than he was before the conflict started.

Life is hard for the locals,
who wake up each day to a new nightmare.

As the idea of peace slips ever more into the distance,
an increasing number of citizens are
taking up arms and picking the side to fight for.

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
The Raven is obviously using us,
but his intel checks out.
Haavk has reactivated this old missile base in their bid to force the world into submission.
These weapons threaten the very backbone of humanity.
These won't stand.
We'll storm the beaches, breach the bunkers,
and extract the poison that they've planted in this territory.
We will turn their missiles against them
and drown them in a nightmare of their own creation.

Sofia:
From the Ahsarah homelands, to Tide Prison, to the ICBM base...
it seems your Raven is a herald of war and rebellion.
You're clearly skilled at this.
Raven Fahim:
AH-HAHAHAHAHA!!!
I'm flattered. But it is not my doing.
Chaos proliferates on its own.
Everyone becomes trapped by it, even those who sow it.

Sofia: Are you suggesting that you too will be consumed by this chaos?
Raven Fahim: Precisely.
Sofia: Does that worry you?
Raven Fahim: I welcome it. It is my fate.
Sofia: You're starting to sound like a philosopher.
Raven Fahim: If you had witnessed what I have... you would be too.

※英語自信ニキの修正お待ちしてます

Raven Fahim:
Sophia — the information my RAVEN brought you,
the questions, all the truth.
YES, it's true.
Haavk's castle weapons are aimed at all you know —
you need not panic.
Though a chaotic spectacle is about to unfold before your very eyes.
Indeed — for only through chaos
can we be liberated from the prison of reality.
Only through CHAOS,
can the world gain TRUE freedom!
And remember this, Sophia —
the essence of chaos is *JUSTICE*!!!

Raven:
Sofia, did you like the gift my raven brought to you? 

Sofia:
Should I say thanks? 

Raven:
No, no!
You just do what you do best.
Ask your questions.

Sofia:
Your intel has certainly had a large global impact.
Does this excite you? 

Raven:
HAHAHA!
I'm just shedding light on certain facts. Heh heh heh...
My feelings are irrelevant.

Sofia:
Some might say, however,
that you fanned the flames that ultimately started the skirmish at Havvk's ICBM base.

Raven:
It was the TRUTH, sofia,
that started this war. 

Sofia:
You seem to scoff at Haavk's plans.
Raven:
I was once fooled by it,
but quickly realized it was nothing more than a charade.
Sofia:
How do you view your own plan?
Raven:
Ahsarah is just one of Countless experimental fields.
Havvk sows hatred, G.T.I. sows hypocrisy,
and "I"!! sow CHAOS.
The kingdom I hope to create goes BEYOND Ahsarah.
It will be real, fiercer, freer, and fairer than Haavk's new world.
Sofia:
Why are you so confident?
Raven:
Because countless bloody facts have proven that chaos is the essence of this world.
Insanity is in our nature.
All it takes is one bad day to push the most rational person over the edge.

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
Haavk has the power to hold the entire world hostage with this missile base.
Once it's linked to Skynet, most major cities will be in striking range.
As long as this threat remains, Haavk can act with impunity.
Our vanguard has already breached their defenses.
Press this advantage.
Strike at the source of this threat and break Haavk's grip on the world once and for all.

Haavk Executive (Male):
If the sun goes out today,
Haavk will bring a new dawn tomorrow.

Suddenly, Haavk found themselves pulled into a new disaster
by a Tide Prison inmate, who revealed that the very weather weapons
G.T.I. claimed to have destroyed were being held in a Haavk-controlled ICBM base.

Both sides' commanders had triumphed in every simulation on the war table,
but faced heavy defeats in the field.

After living too long with war,
defeat is found even in the jaws of victory.

Haavk Top Executive (Female):
The success of Havoc's Skynet weapons project relies on this ICBM base.
It is the sword that extends our deterrent radius, the catalyst for our dream of building the new world.

But the deranged Raven exposed it by releasing its coordinates to G.T.I.
If they want to make it the center of a new global storm, it shall be so.

洲际导弹基地本应成为我们用于维护新世界秩序，
实现资源平等的重要手段。
然而G.T.I.这个旧秩序下喜得利益集团的鹰犬，

如今，敌人的第一波攻势已被瓦解。
按计划收缩战线，将兵力集中在核心区域，
永波在东和坚不可摧的防御向世界宣告，
创造美好新世界的理想不容玷污。

Young Ahsahren Soldier (Male):
Amir, I finally understand.
Haavk's most terrifying weapon isn't those war machines,
but the ideas they've planted in our minds,
making our people believe that abandoning our homes and roots is progress.
I just scouted the old town where we once skipped stones across the creek
by Uncle Musa's house.
Nothing remains but a stench of blood and gunpowder.
Tell me, Amir,
is the money Haavk pays you capable of buying back all that we've lost?
Or just allows you to build a bigger cage on the ruins of our homeland?

※英語自信ニキの修正お待ちしてます

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
Haavk is attempting to halt our advance by deploying artificial fog.
But this is only the beginning.
If we don't take action,
their weather control weapons under Skynet
will unleash unimaginable disasters.
Your mission is to strike Haavk's strategic hub
and turn those Skynet servers into scrap.
Today, you'll be fighting alongside local Ahsarah soldiers.
...What??
The Ahsarah have lost their assault!?
All units!! Advance!!

Young Woman:
It's only my third day here and once again,
my equipment's been dampened by the thick, unshakeable fog.
The locals told me this used to be a thriving mountain city,
until their exiled prince led the wolves in.
Haavk built two Skynet server bases right here at the heart of the city.
Everyone says they want to save Ahsarah,
but the land beneath their feet has been bled dry under their endless salvation.

Ahsahren elder (male) monologue:
Hassan. We're not fighting G.T.I.
nor our Ahsahren brothers who once stood with us.

We're fighting the cycle of poverty and despair that has entrapped us.
Haavk offered a hammer to break it,
in exchange for our souls.

I made my choice so my children don't relive our fate.
A valley separates us, Hassan.

You cling to the familiar past that's crumbling away
while I journey towards an unknown future.

Neither of us can convince the other.
Only the trembling earth beneath
our feet will give the final verdict.

※末尾2行（atop the summit of human ambition〜）は公式PVではカットされていますが、ゲーム本編には存在します

Narrator (Mid-Age Male):
Haavk modernized this impoverished land,
but in doing so, forced a number of locals out.
Today, this uplift has deepened into a rift,
one that seems impossible to bridge.
Large-scale climate control technology,
once envisioned as a tool to end droughts and wildfires across the globe,
has now been weaponized into an instrument of destruction.
It's as if in our pursuit of energy from the atom,
we have forged a Damascus blade —
atop the summit of human ambition,
power meant for gods, surrendered to the hands of mortals.

Haavk Top Executive (Female):
Once again, GTI circle our mountain like vultures.
This time, they've brought Ahsahren savages to do their bidding.
They speak of freedom and liberation, but only bring chaos and ruin.
Failing to build the future themselves, they envy those who can.
We will not allow those bandits to defile Skynet.
It's the very foundation of human progress.
So let the mountains become their grave.
All personnel, prepare for combat.

Young Ahsahren Man:
I still remember the first time I saw this architectural wonder in a textbook.
I was a child, listening to my mother
tell me about this culture's antiquity and splendor,
just as with our history in Ahsarah.
She taught me that knowledge and heritage
are the most valuable assets to a civilization.
Haavk destroyed all of that in Ahsarah.
I refuse to let them drag this land into the same fate.
This fight isn't to protect history — it's to defend
every civilization's right to endure with dignity.

Sofia (Press Female):
"All history will be rewritten, all value reassessed."
While the world reeled at Jacob Haavk's manifesto,
Haavk launched a global initiative dubbed
the Cultural Preservation and Historical Reclamation project.
Multiple nations have joined the project,
with this historic monument becoming its proving ground.
G.T.I., meanwhile, has condemned Haavk for looting masked as protection.
A prominent think tank scholar voiced darker concerns:
"Who controls the past, controls the future."
After negotiations with the Haavk spokesperson,
Jacob has granted us an audience,
finally breaking his silence on the accusations.

Sofia (Press Female):
Mr. Haavk, your company's involvement in Ahsarah has been highly controversial.
Critics say you're operating outside of international law.
What's your response?

Jacob Haavk:
Laws are often the last refuge of those who fear change.
G.T.I. hides behind them to maintain a status quo
that has failed the people of Ahsarah for decades.
Haavk isn't here to follow the old rules;
we're here to write the new ones.

Sofia (Press Female):
But the G.T.I. claims they are the only legitimate authority in the region.
They've accused you of direct interference in their peacekeeping missions.

Jacob Haavk:
G.T.I.'s 'peace' is nothing more than managed decline.
They want to keep Ahsarah weak and dependent.
We offer strength, technology, and a future that doesn't rely on their permission.
If that is interference, then I am guilty.

Sofia (Press Female):
A bold statement, but the conflict only seems to be intensifying.

Sofia (Press Female):
When you say tools, do you mean monopoly, coercion, even war?

Jacob Haavk:
Haavk isn't a terrorist group or war machine.
We simply offer an alternative.
...Hah, Sofia,
question those who have watched the world burn
while forbidding others to extinguish it.
They ...are the war machines.

Sofia (Press Female):
And what if people reject this alternative?

Jacob Haavk:
I believe freedom exists for both sides.
Let me share an ancient proverb.
If I let you into my dream, it would become yours.
If you join Haavk's new world, it will become yours.

Jacob Haavk:
Is the second argument more convincing?

Sofia (Press Female):
Considering your declaration that
"all history will be rewritten, all value reassessed."
A think tank scholar from a G.T.I. member
state expressed deep concern about this preservation project.

Jacob Haavk:
And what is he concerned about?

Sofia (Press Female):
He's quoted as saying
"who controls the past 'commands' the future."

Jacob Haavk:
Oh... I believe it was
"who controls the past 'controls' the future."
He clearly misunderstands Haavk's grand vision.

Sofia (Press Female):
Then... why don't you take this opportunity
to dispel that misunderstanding for us, Mr. Haavk?

Jacob Haavk:
Haavk has neither the interest nor the energy to edit history.
We aim to leverage technology to redefine the very concept and model of nations,
accelerating the creation of a new world, a new order, and a new future.

Sofia (Press Female):
Some might say you're rambling.
They may not accept that as a sincere answer.

(Battle commences — interview audio fades)

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
Hahhh..., We're too late.
Haavk is already transporting the stolen artifacts.
Attack at full strength. Stop these grave robbers at all costs.

Jacob Haavk:
The Skynet isn't controlled by any nation,
yet it determines who can communicate and who will be disconnected.
It transcends geographical and political limits,
redefining what constitutes territory.
Mandelbricks and their integrated ERAIS intelligently,
efficiently, and fairly regulate communications, energy, and transport.
It doesn't just replace traditional government functions, it also...

Sofia (Female Press):
It also redefines Haavk citizens.

Jacob Haavk:
Exactly.
Haavk citizens are those gathered by ecology and ideology, not blood or geography.
Borders that may even expand through
Re-link's extension of human bodies, consciousness, and senses.

Sofia (Female Press):
You intend to use a race to achieve resource control
and a technological monopoly, leaving traditional nations
with no choice but to establish relations with Haavk,
thereby forming the basis of sovereignty.

Jacob Haavk:
Oh, you're clever. But you needn't make it sound so sinister.
It's merely Haavk's way of improving the world.

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
Haavk is manufacturing sandstorms to infiltrate nations,
stealing geodata, and looting relics under the guise of protection to fund their wars.
Now their attention has fallen on this millennia-old monument.
Their crimes in Ahsarah will be repeated here.
We can't let that happen.
Execute strikes on their village checkpoints,
use the tunnels to create ambushes,
and drive these grave robbers out for good.
Take heed, not a single bullet touches those artifacts.

Young Ahsahren Man:
Nadia. I'm sorry to leave you.
I would have stayed to protect our land,
but there's nothing left to protect.
The prosperity Haavk brought has been stripped away by power and greed.
Standing before this monument,
I realized that what we lost in Ahsarah wasn't wealth, but hope.
I believe that Haavk will bring a better tomorrow for our children.
I once feared I would never return, but no more.
Wait for me, Nadia.
I will come back,
for you, for our children.

Narrator (Middle-aged Male):
This monument. A testament to humanity's quest for eternity and order.
Now sets the stage for new tides of strife and hatred.
Haavk recently started a project to relocate and restore artifacts in the area.
G.T.I., however, claims the project is a guise to infiltrate nations and plunder relics.
When clashes between protesters and Haavk work crews sparked violence,
G.T.I. mobilized.
Jacob Haavk, CEO and architect of this so-named
Cultural Preservation and Historical Reclamation Project,
has broken his silence.
Now we hear his response.

Male Reporter:
The sandstorm has continued to batter this magnificent historical site.
Half a banner remains flapping wildly on the scaffolding
bearing Haavk Engineering Corps slogan: 'Preserving artifacts, remaking history'.

Jacob Haavk:
That's right. Haavk has recently initiated an immense cross-border
cultural preservation project using cutting-edge technology.
A number of nations are participating.
We've taken the lead on this very land, as a matter of fact.

Male Reporter:
But we've been hearing two troubling arguments.

Jacob Haavk:
I'm all ears.

Male Reporter:
Well, protesters confronted the engineering team outside the ruins.
They suspect Haavk is exploiting the preservation effort
either to loot and sell artifacts to fund their wars,
or as a means to infiltrate other nations and steal geographical data.

Jacob Haavk:
Such shallow and outdated rhetoric stems from the ignorance
of Haavk's technology and financial power. We can simply ignore it.

→ Continues in Attack Pattern D

Narrator (Male):
So Haavk aims to redefine citizenship, territory, government, and sovereignty through technology,
effectively constructing an entirely new nation. 

Jacob Haavk:
Now, does that still sound like rambling?

Narrator (Male):
It sounds wildly ambitious, if not downright delusional.
You're assuming the world is on the brink of collapse and needs a new order. 

Jacob Haavk:
That's not for me to answer.
Ask those already drowning, or about to drown,
and they'll tell yo

Narrator (Male):
Traditional nations won't surrender quietly,
people won't accept haavk as the sole arbiter of their future.

Jacob Haavk:
No doubt, this is a contest between the old and new worlds,
a battle demanding every tool at our disposal.
And Haavk will fight relentlessly.

※英語自信ニキの修正お待ちしてます

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
Haavk has lied to the world.
Seismic geological surveys, data intrusions.
It was all a lie.
Look at the rubble that surrounds you.
They're using their so-called Cicada Tremor System to destroy this city.
It is imperative that we break through their lines.
Infiltrate the tower and terminate the system,
so that those who survive may live tomorrow free of fear.
Operators, gear up and move out.

若い女性（報道関係者？）：
モニカ、あなたはいつも言っていたわよね。
「写真が十分にリアルでないなら、まだ十分に近づいていない」と。
でも今日、カメラが真実に近づいた瞬間ーーー
それは、震えたわ。
そして、私も震えた。
私たちの足元で、この街が崩れ落ちていく。
すべては「真実」を追い求めた果てに、瓦礫と化していく。

G.T.I.が証拠を手に入れたなら。
ーーーこの街は再建されるの？
ハヴォックが秘密を守り続けるなら。
ーーーこの揺れは止まるの？
モニカ。
これが、その結末。
ーーーどちらの「真実」が、まだマシだというの？

Female (Press?):
Monica, you always taught me:
if your pictures are not authentic enough, you're not close enough.
But today, as my camera closed in on the truth,
it trembled... and so did I.
This city beneath our feet is crumbling,
reduced to rubble, all in the pursuit of 'truth'.
If G.T.I. gets their proof, will the city be rebuilt?
If Haavk keeps their secrets, will the shaking stop?
Monica. For this is the outcome.
Which truth is even better?

※ゲームPVに出ていた、地震で子供を失った母親と思われる。震える小声の独白。

アサラ人女性（母親）：
ねえ。
地震から、もう3日が経つわ。
きっとどこか暗い隅っこに隠れて、
ママとかくれんぼをしているんでしょう？
もういいかい？
暗いところは怖いものね。
ーーーこの瞬間も隠れてるなんて、驚くわ。
ハヴォックも、G.T.I.も、戦うのをやめない。
だから、出てくるのが怖いの？
大丈夫よ。
ーーー銃の音なんて、ママは怖くない。
必ず見つけてあげる。
ーーー連れて帰ってあげるから。

Ahsahren Woman (Mother):
Child.
It's been three days since the quake.
You must be hiding in a very dark corner,
playing your favorite game of hide and seek with Mommy.
Ready?
We're all so afraid of the dark.
I'm surprised you're hiding at a moment like this.
Haavk, or G.T.I., they won't stop fighting.
That's why you're too scared to come out.
Isn't it?
It's okay.
Mommy is not scared of their guns.
Mommy will find you.
Will bring you home.

※パターンCの母親と同一人物と思われる。時系列追って整理予定。

女性（救助・避難誘導員）：
奥さん！！ここにいてはいけません！
余震はまだ続いていますし、避難区域はもうすぐ閉鎖されます。

アサラ人女性（母親）：
まだ子供がそこにいるんです！！

女性：
お子さんが……申し訳ありません、奥さん。
でも、G.T.I.とハヴォック両方の救助チームが、すでにこの区域を捜索しました。
戻るのは危険すぎます。

アサラ人女性（母親）：
ハヴォック！？G.T.I.！？
そんな名前、私には関係ない！
奴らが捜索したかどうかなんて、私には知る術がない！
わかってることはひとつーーー
子供がここに埋まっているということ。
電話の最後に、「ママ」って叫んでいたということ。
あれは本物だった。
約束したんです。
仕事から帰ったら、大好きなフライドポテトを作ってあげるってーーー
（泣き崩れる）

（5秒間の沈黙）

女性：
ーーー奥さん！気をつけて！また揺れてきます！

アサラ人女性（母親）：
ううっ……離して！私は戻らなきゃいけないの！！！

Female:
Ma'am!! You cannot stay here!
The aftershocks are still continuing,
and the evacuation zone will be closed soon.

Ahsahren Woman (Mother):
My child is still in there!!

Female:
Your child... I'm sorry, ma'am,
but both G.T.I. and Haavk rescue teams have already searched the area.
It's too dangerous for you to go back in.

Ahsahren Woman (Mother):
Haavk!? G.T.I.???
Those names. They're so distant!
I don't know if they searched or not!
I only know that my child is buried here,
and that he yelled "mama" to me on the phone in the end.
That was real.
I promised him
I'd make him his favorite fries when I got home from work.
(Crying)

(5 seconds silence)

Female:
Ma'am! Be careful! The earthquake comes again.

Ahsahren Woman (Mother):
Ugh! Let me go! I HAVE TO GO BACK!!!

Haavk Top Executive (Female):
G.T.I. has sabotaged the Cicada Tremor System.
A tool of geological surveying and resource mining,
meant to help humanity, has been turned into an instrument of disaster.
G.T.I. is willing to sacrifice this whole city just to frame us.
They may not value human life, but we do.
Initiate an assault on the tower and dominate the Cicada Tremor System.
Let Aftershock echo our battle cry — and make G.T.I. fail.

老年の男性（ナレーター）：
私の背後で、街が大地に飲み込まれようとしている。

子供の泣き声が、銃声（GUNFIRE）と大地の揺れにかき消される。
彼女たちは、誰が悪いのかを考えようとしていなかった。
ただーーー止めてほしかっただけなのだ。

Narrator (Elderly Male):
Behind me, a city is being swallowed by the earth,
setting the stage for a fight to the death between two giants.
Both claim to be its savior, but suffering doesn't pick a side.
A mother's blank look.
A child's cry drowned out by *GUNFIRE* and the shaking earth.
They're not trying to figure out who is responsible.
They just wanted to stop.

老人男性：
アリ、インタビューに応じてくれてありがとう。
君はハヴォックで働いているそうだね。

ーーーそれで、君自身はどう思う？
スカイネット・プロジェクトは、
彼らが主張するような偉大な事業なのかな？

……それとも、G.T.I.が主張するような、秘密兵器なのかね？

若者（アリ）：
……すみません。
ぼ、僕には何のことか分かりません。

老人男性：
だが、君は彼らの制服を着ている。
彼ら（ハヴォック）を信じる側に立った、ということではないのかね？

若者（アリ）：
僕がこの制服を着ているのは、
ハヴォックのためではありません。
G.T.I.と戦うためでもないです。

地震が起きた日、
僕と妹は瓦礫の下に埋もれていました。

そのとき、この制服を着た人たちが、
素手で瓦礫を掘り、僕たちを助け出してくれたんです。

僕は助かりました。
でも……妹は……

助からなかった。

※場面転換

若者（アリ）：
気をつけて。
おじさん、僕につかまって。

正しいとか、間違っているとか。
どちらの側につくとか。

そんなことは、僕には関係ない。

ただ、まだあの下に閉じ込められている人がいる。
それだけは分かる。

一人、救う。
一人救えれば、それでいい。
それで、十分なんだ。

Elder:
Ali, thank you for agreeing to this interview.
You work for Haavk, in your opinion:
is their Skynet project the great undertaking that they claim it is?
...Or is it a hidden weapon, as G.T.I. alleges?

Young Man (Ali):
...I'm sorry, sir.
I, I don't know what you're talking about.

Elder:
But you're wearing their uniform.
You've chosen to vouch for them, haven't you?

Young Man (Ali):
I wear this uniform not for Haavk.
And not to fight G.T.I.

On the day of the earthquake,
my sister and I were buried in the rubble.
It was people in this uniform who dug us out with their bare hands.

I was saved.
But ...my sister...
She didn't make it.

[Scene change]

Young Man (Ali):
Be careful. Sir, hold on to me.

Right and wrong. Picking sides.
That's not my concern.

I just know there are still people trapped under there.

Save one.
Count one.
That's enough.

Young Tired Man:
My dear sister,
I haven't slept since you left.

Every time I close my eyes,
I see the hands that dug me out of the rubble.

But also,
I see you buried in the darkness.

That's why I stayed here wearing their "human". 

I'm not fighting for some great cause.
I just want to pull others out of the darkness.

I think I'll see you soon. 

G.T.I. Commander (Male):
Haavk has held the Akh Canal, the jugular of the global economy, in a chokehold for too long.
That ends today.
A Haavk freighter carrying radioactive cargo was hit by pirates and grounded at port.
Our rapid response units are mobilizing as I speak.
We will secure the port with maximum speed.
Haavk has never hidden their strategic ambitions.
Today, they will pay the price for their arrogance.

Swordfish soldier (Male, presumed Ahsahren):
Visual on the port defense is confirmed.
Strike group swordfish requesting intel update.
G.T.I. Commander (Male):
Copy that. Morse, give me a fix on the radioactive payload.
...Morse? Come in!
Stinger (Roy Smee):
He fell asleep. I'm taking over.
Can confirm the ship is loaded with artifacts.
We found... (static, comms cut)
G.T.I. Commander (Male):
Stinger! Damn it. Calm down.
Swordfish. No new intel available.
Execute the planned assault.
Swordfish soldier (Male, presumed Ahsahren):
Copy that. Affirm.
We are boarding to seize control
with no intel and insufficient rad protection!?
G.T.I. Commander (Male):
Affirmative.
We cannot afford to lose this tactical window.
Advise the first wave.
Report any anomalies immediately!

Female Reporter:
Sir, this marks the fourth anniversary of the partnership between Akhet and Haavk.
As a citizen of Akhet, how would you evaluate this collaboration?
Akhet Resident (Male):
Collaboration!? Haavk put a knife to our throats during negotiations
and forced us to sell out our waterways.
This canal was built on the blood and sweat of our ancestors.
The wealth it generates should have gone to taxes for our children,
or medicine, in our hospitals.
Instead, it feeds Haavk's war machine.
I want to ask my countrymen, will it take Akhet becoming the next Ahsarah
for you to realize exactly what we've lost?

Haavk Top Executive (Female):
Moments ago, Ahsahren terrorists attacked our freighter and looted our gold reserves.
Now G.T.I. is amassing forces, hoping to exploit their chaos and illegally seize the entire port.
Our enemies are greedy and stubborn, but not indecisive.
They may have fired the first shot, but we still hold the high ground.
Use the canal as a natural fortress to break their assault.
The waterway behind you is the main artery of Haavk's Empire.
Do not let them sever this lifeline.

Haavk Container Ship Captain (Male):
Ma'am, engineering is requesting more excavators.
They're at their breaking point.
Haavk Communications Operator (Female):
We're all at our breaking points. Has Cargo A been secured?
Haavk Container Ship Captain (Male):
Recovery team still waiting on rad protection.
I diverted them to assist with the artifact salvage for now.
Haavk Communications Operator (Female):
Copy. Prism E3, what's the location of those fleeing pirates?
Haavk Prism E3 Ship Captain (Male):
Contact! Stop it!!!
Haavk Communications Operator (Female):
Prism E3, say again!!
Haavk Prism E3 Ship Captain (Male):
The G.T.I. battalion is moving on their port!
Bearing 1-1-8! They dropped the act!
Haavk Communications Operator (Female):
All stations, the boat is under attack!
Abort pursuit of the pirates!
All combat units, rally at the outer perimeter immediately!

News Reporter (Male):
Good evening. As you can see behind me,
the damaged vessel has run aground,
completely blocking the channel.
News Reporter (Male):
We are still waiting for confirmation on any radioactive leakage.
Analysts predict this incident could cost...
News Reporter (Male):
Oh! What was that?
Where's that gunfire coming from?
Haavk Crew (Male):
Hey, press, stop filming! Move now!
News Reporter (Male):
Breaking news.
An unidentified force is launching an assault on the port.
Peter, get a shot of that. Over there!
Haavk Crew (Male):
Cut the feed, both of you.
Escort the press to the west bank.
The rest on me. Go, go, go!
