Stage 09 (FM4)/Transcript

The following is a transcript of Stage 09, the tenth mission of Front Mission 4, in addition to the dialogue before and after Scene 09.

Pre-Mission Dialogue

 * Darril: ... Chaeffer, you better have a damn good reason for firing that rocket...


 * Chaeffer: I'm sorry... I just got scared...


 * Darril: You... got... scared!? We would already be out of this country if it wasn't for you!


 * Billy: Save it, Darril. We don't have much time.


 * Darril: I guess you're right... But where can we go? The State Army is bound to be everywhere by now.


 * Renges: We'll just have to run. Run, and try to find some other way out.


 * Darril: It's going to be rough...


 * Renges: We'll just have to trust our luck.


 * Darril: Don't we always?


 * Renges: Yeah, we do. We'll make it somehow. So cheer up, Chaeffer, all right?


 * Chaeffer: Thanks, Renges. I'll aim better next time.


 * Darril: That's not the point...

[Talk to Renges:]


 * Renges: We should leave town and hide in the mountains... though I don't know where we could go from there.

[Talk to Chaeffer:]


 * Chaeffer: Life on the run... again.

[Port Cumana]


 * Renges: We should stock up on gear and ammo while we have the chance. Check the wanzers, too.

[Shop]

[Talk to Weapons Trader:]


 * Weapons Trader: Hey, you guys know Calvo? In Caracas?


 * Darril: No. We've never even been to Caracas.


 * Weapons Trader: Oh... So you guys aren't revolutionaries.


 * Darril: 'Revolutionaries'? You mean guerrillas?


 * Renges: Are you telling us you only do business with revolutionaries?


 * Weapons Trader: No, it's not that. I only wanted to know if Calvo was doing okay.

Second time and beyond:


 * Weapons Trader: My shipment finally came in. Take a look-see.

[Cumana City]


 * Renges: You noticed too, Darril?


 * Darril: Yeah. They've been following us ever since we came back into town...


 * Chaeffer: Who?


 * Renges: Don't look back!


 * Darril: Probably the guys in the harbor. They must've been waiting for us to come out of hiding.


 * Renges: Let them follow us for now. We'll try to lose them once we're sure it's them.

[Talk to Renges:]


 * Renges: We have to find a place to lose our tail.

[Talk to Chaeffer:]


 * Chaeffer: Are we being stalked...?

["The Caribbean"]


 * Woman: Ow!


 * Darril: Whoa! I'm sorry, miss. Didn't see you there. Are you all right?


 * Woman: Thanks, I'm all right. Hey, you're pretty cute.


 * Darril: I am!?


 * Woman: No, not you! The blond, there.


 * Chaeffer: Me!?


 * Woman: Yes, you. You want to buy me a drink? Your friends can come, too.


 * Chaeffer: Okay, sure!


 * Renges: Is it me, or is there something wrong with this picture...?


 * Darril: I was thinking the same thing. Some people have weird tastes...

[Talk to Woman]


 * Woman: Nice jumpsuits. What do you guys do?


 * Chaeffer: We're U.--


 * Darril: UFOs!


 * Woman: UFOs...?


 * Darril: Yeah. We... we're UFO hunters. There's been a lot of sightings around here lately. These jumpsuits are... our uniforms. Like 'em?


 * Woman: Looking for UFOs in this warzone? You guys are braver than I thought. Sounds like fun, though. Are you going to look for your little flying saucers tonight?


 * Chaeffer: Huh? Y-Yeah, we are. Tonight. UFOs.


 * Woman: Where are you going to look for them?


 * Chaeffer: Where? Well, uh...


 * Woman: Can I go with you?


 * Darril: No.


 * Woman: Why not? I want to see UFOs, too!


 * Renges: We'll be going to a place where bugs and other creepy-crawly things come out at night. It's not a place for a young lady like yourself.


 * Woman: Aw, all right. Maybe next time?


 * Chaeffer: Sorry...


 * Renges: I'm going to check outside.


 * Darril: Good idea.


 * Woman: Say, you guys look really fit. Do you play sports?


 * Darril: Yeah, lots.


 * Renges: ... Darril. It's clear.


 * Woman: What is clear?


 * Chaeffer: Uh... the sky! You know, UFOs are harder to spot if it's cloudy.


 * Woman: Ah. Of course.


 * Darril: I'm sorry, miss, but we have to be leaving soon.


 * Woman: Oh? That is too bad. Well, maybe I will see you around?


 * Chaeffer: You betcha!

Second time and beyond


 * Woman: I will remember you three. I hope to see you again... soon.

[Talk to Bartender]


 * Bartender: Sounds like there was a firefight down at the docks. Has the U.C.S. already come this far?

[Talk to Venezuelan Sailor]


 * Venezuelan Sailor: I know this city like the back of my hand. Not many people know, but there's a shortcut to the shop in the harbor. Here, I'll show you.

Second time and beyond


 * Venezuelan Sailor: So did you find the shortcut?

[Talk to Chinese Sailor]


 * Chinese Sailor: From the looks on your faces, I'd say Chang got you. I did tell you to watch out, didn't I?

[Talk to Eva]


 * Eva: I hear the anti-government guerrillas are on the move again. But with the governor at odds with the U.C.S., who are the guerrillas going to fight?

[Leaving]


 * Chaeffer: See ya!


 * Woman: Bye-bye.


 * Renges: Come on, Chaeffer.


 * Ivanovna: ... Vavilov, report.


 * Vavilov: The homing unit has been planted on their truck. We are receiving a clear signal, Colonel.


 * Ivanovna: Good.


 * Vavilov: If I may ask, sir... why all the subterfuge? We can take them out right now, while they are off their wanzers.


 * Ivanovna: It is no fun to kill them when they cannot fight back. Besides, I need moving targets to test my new toy.


 * Vavilov: Yes... sir.

[Cumana City]


 * Chaeffer: Oh, no!


 * Darril: What?


 * Chaeffer: I forgot to ask that girl her name!


 * Darril: ...


 * Renges: Weird...


 * Darril: Chaeffer's always been weird.


 * Renges: I know that! That's not what I meant. The guys who were following us are gone. I thought they'd come back once we left the bar...


 * Darril: Huh. You're right... I don't know why they're gone, but we should probably skip town before they decide to come back.

[Talk to Renges]


 * Renges: This may not be the right course of action... but I think we should leave town.

[Talk to Chaeffer]


 * Chaeffer: ...

[Exit Cumana City]


 * Darril: Chaeffer, what are you doing? Come on.


 * Chaeffer: ... Okay.


 * Renges: Are you still thinking about that girl?


 * Chaeffer: ...


 * Darril: Forget her. It never would've amounted to anything.


 * Chaeffer: Why not?


 * Darril: We're not here on vacation, Chaeffer. Once we leave this country, we're never coming back.


 * Renges: That's right. Our first priority is to get out of here alive. The ladies can wait.

''Darril's team is preparing to leave the city in their truck. However, a giant mobile weapon comes into view, and the truck stops.


 * Darril: Whoa!


 * Renges: A mobile weapon!

The mobile weapon blocks their way.


 * Ivanovna: ...


 * Darril: I can't believe they'd bring that thing into town!

The mobile weapon fires a shot near the truck's location.


 * Renges: That much firepower can turn this whole place to rubble!

Ivanovna Defeated

 * Ivanovna: What!? Is this all this piece of junk can take!?

Post-Mission Dialogue

 * Ivanovna: Move, you piece of junk!

Darril's squad moves towards the mobile weapon.


 * Darril: Easy, there. Don't move. ...! You!?


 * Chaeffer: It's her...!


 * Ivanovna: ...


 * Renges: This is a surprise...


 * Darril: Get down from that thing and come over here.


 * Chaeffer: What are we gonna do with her...?


 * Darril: Well, it looks like she's their commander. They won't attack us as long as we have her. But first... I think you owe us an explanation.


 * Ivanovna: ...
