O-Mission 06/Transcript

The following is a transcript of O-Mission 06, the sixth mission of Front Mission First's OCU campaign, in addition to the dialogue before O-Mission 06.

Grey Rock

 * Meihua: I have to go talk to a hacker friend of mine. I'll be right back!
 * Keith: A hacker? What do you need a hacker for?
 * Meihua: It's personal. See ya!
 * Natalie Royd, Colonel Olson has just arrived here as well. He wants you to report to him ASAP at his office in the Military Ward.

Military Ward

 * First Visit


 * Olson: Be glad you're not in the Army anymore--you deserve a court martial for that stunt you pulled. Luckily for you, General Blakewood has given me specific orders to let this little incident slide. There's some time until your next assignment, but you'd better stay in town till then.


 * Second Visit


 * Olson: You'd better stay in town this time, or I'll have your head!

Shop

 * Talk


 * Wanzer Dealer: Each weapon and wanzer part has a weight value. Your wanzer body's power output determines the total weight your wanzer can handle. The weight-to-power ratio (W/P) of your current wanzer is displayed at the top right of the screen. If this W/P ratio goes over 100, your wanzer setup is too heavy, and you won't be able to take it into battle.

Bar

 * Paul: Ah, we meet again. Surely, it must be fate.
 * Royd: What do you want?
 * Paul: I lost my squad to that U.C.S. commander, but I have the feeling I'd get a chance at revenge if I went with you. May I join your squad?
 * Message: Recruit Paul?
 * YES


 * Paul: Much obliged. Paul C. Greiber, at your service.
 * Message: Paul has joined your squad.
 * NO


 * Paul: That is unfortunate... Please, do let me know if you need another pilot.


 * Talk


 * Bartender
 * Bartender: Grey Rock didn't used to be so crowded. This really used to be a small town. What happened was, we received a lot of refugees when the U.C.S. invaded Freedom City.


 * Herbert (First Time)
 * Herbert: Have you met Alder in Menasa? Word is that he's a hell of a merc...though he's got zero tolerance for green pilots of your ilk.


 * Herbert (Second Time)
 * Herbert: I got me a brand-new wanzer the other day. I'll make Arena Champion this year!


 * Lizzy
 * Lizzy: Is the Union Army asleep? Why couldn't they stop the Statesmen from entering the city!?


 * Selleh
 * Selleh: I ran away from Grey Rock Hospital. I couldn't help it--it was the nightmares. Raging fires, explosions, screams... It's all the fault of the military wing and its so-called research facilities. They're the reason why I couldn't a peaceful night's sleep there.


 * Paul (If not recruited)
 * Paul:I must fight again! Please, let me join you!
 * Message: Recruit Paul?
 * YES
 * Paul: Much obliged. Paul C. Greiber, at your service.
 * Message: Paul has joined your squad.
 * NO
 * Paul: That is unfortunate... Please, do let me know if you need another pilot.

Bar

 * Talk


 * Balda
 * Balda: Spare some change, man? Come on, just one dollar?


 * Alder
 * Alder: What do you want, boy?
 * Message: Recruit Alder?
 * NO
 * End Dialogue
 * YES
 * Alder: Recruit me? Hah! Who do you think you are, boy? You think you're one to order me around? All right, I'll give you a chance. Let me see what you got in the Arena. If you can beat me, I'll think about joining your merry litle gang.

Arena

 * Enter Battle with Alder


 * Lose Battle
 * Alder: That's all you got? You got a lot of things to learn before even thinking of recruiting me, boy!
 * Win Battle
 * Alder: ......... Don't you give the slightest damn about self-preservation? It's like you got a death wish!
 * Royd: ...What's it to you, anyway?
 * Alder: Well, I won't have it! Listen, boy, as long as I'm fighting alongside you, I'll see to it that you'll make every effort to stay alive! You got that? ... What are we standing around here for? Let's go!
 * Message: Alder has joined your squad.

Bar

 * Talk


 * Moon
 * Moon: Bridges can be nasty chokepoints. You'll need a lot of ranged weapons to cross them efficiently.

Grey Rock

 * Select Find Meihua


 * Room


 * Meihua: You're lucky. The bullets barely missed your office.
 * Hans: It's good to see you too, Mei.
 * Meihua: So, uh...did you find anything about my brother Yeehin?
 * Hans: I'm sorry, Mei. Nothing new. So who's your beefy friend?
 * Meihua: Who? Oh! Royd! How'd you get here?
 * Royd: Hans, is it? You make a living finding people?
 * Hans: Among other things. Nothing that Hans the Hacker can't track down for you.
 * Royd: Can you look for any info on the woman in this picture? Her name's Karen Meure. Anything's fine, whether she's alive or dead... Anything.
 * Hans: Sure thing. And first time's free...for a friend of Mei's.


 * Main Area


 * Meihua: Heh. I knew you hadn't given up on Karen.
 * Royd: What happened to your brother, Meihua?
 * Meihua: Oh, Yeehin? He kinda ran away from home a couple years ago. I heard talk that he might be on Huffman, so...
 * Royd: I hope you find him.
 * Meihua: I hope you find Karen, too.

Military Ward

 * Olson: All right, vacation's over. The Army's on the move to push the Statesmen back across the border. They need all the help they can dig up--even from mercs like you.
 * Peewie: Uh... Sir, what am I doing?
 * Olson: What? Oh, right. This is Peewie Richberg Jr. He's a supply truck driver, and the newest member of the Canyon Crows. Treat him like one.
 * Ryuji: Him? but...why?
 * Olson: He tried to desert after his last battle, but got caught by the MPs. I managed to get him out of a court-martial on the condition that he joined us. He's a good driver, and has a knack for dodging 80mm bullets with a 50-ton truck.
 * Peewie: Hee hee. Hi everyone.
 * Olson: His truck will carry supplies and all the gear in the squad stock. You can repair, reload ammo, and change loadouts if you stop by the truck during battle. Remember to keep the truck away from any fighting. It may be tougher than regular rigs, but it's still a truck. All right, Crows, get ready to move out. Your primary objective is to knock out the mobile AA missile batteries surrounding Freedom City.
 * Message: Peewie has joined your squad.

Before Battle

 * Olson: Air Force bombers will pass over this zone in a few minutes. Their targets are the U.C.S. forces entrenched in Freedom City. Your mission is to clear their path of all surface-to-air missile batteries. Time is of the essence. Begin mission... Now!
 * Keith: Isn't this cutting it a little too close? How come we didn't take out those SAMs beforehand, huh?
 * Royd: If we did it too early, we'd be telegraphing the bombing path to the enemy.

10 Turns pass

 * If All SAM launchers was destroyed before turns 10

(Four bombers pass overhead.)


 * J.J.: We're not getting any medals for this, are we?
 * Natalie: Stay focused. We're not done here yet.


 * If All SAM launchers was not destroyed or one of them left inact after turns 10 has passed


 * J.J.: Dammit! We're outta time!

(Four bombers enter, with one plane shot down per intact SAM Launcher.)


 * Keith: Damn! The bombers are getting torn up!

All hostiles defeated

 * If SAM Launchers was destroyed before turns 10


 * Ryuji: All hostiles eliminated. Mission complete!


 * If All SAM launchers was not destroyed or one of them left inact after turns 10 has passed


 * Natalie: All hostiles eliminated...
 * Olson: The Air Force somehow managed to complete their objective with the remaining bombers. As for you... How could you let this happen!? This is coming out of your paychecks!
