O-Mission 03/Transcript

The following is a transcript of O-Mission 03, the third mission of Front Mission First's OCU campaign, in addition to the dialogue before O-Mission 03.

Pre-Mission Dialogue
[New Milgan]

[Shop]

[Talk to Wanzer Dealer]


 * 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]

[Talk to Bartender]


 * Bartender: New Milgan is the O.C.U.'s first Huffman settlement. My bar's been around since day one, making us the oldest Union-side estabishment. Quite a legacy.

[Talk to Grey]


 * Grey: Heh heh heh. I hear there was a plane crash nearby.

[Talk to Billy]


 * Billy: Pilots gain different numbers of skill points in each weapon category and Dodge rating. It's best to specialize in one type of weapon at first if you want to survive.

[Talk to Steve]


 * Steve: I heard that CPUs work better on clear nights during a full moon. I heard it from Hash, in Barinden. You can trust him. Really.

[Military Ward]


 * Olson: We've received word that one of our light transport planes went down in the mountains 60 klicks northeast of here. Your mission is to recover the plane's cargo before the Statesmen do. Set up ASAP and move out.

(The crash site's location is shown.)


 * Olson: This is the crash site. It's within proper O.C.U. borders, but we've detected U.C.S. troops inbound. Here's the mission intel.

(Second time and beyond)


 * Olson: What are you still doing here? You have your orders! Go, go, go!

[Crash Site]


 * Natalie: U.C.S. ground units approaching, captain!


 * Royd: Let's get that container before they spot us.


 * Keith: Hey... Someone's up there!

(The screen pans to show a wanzer in the mountains next to the crash site.)


 * J. J.: A civilian wanzer? He's standing in plain sight. The U.C.S. will see him.


 * Natalie: You there! This is a free-fire zone! Evacuate the area at once!


 * Frederick: Hey, lady, do you mind? I'm getting some footage for my hot scoop here!


 * Natalie: What did you just call-- ...He cut me off!


 * Ryuji: Journalists...


 * Royd: Move up. He's going to need our help, whether he likes it or not.

Before Combat

 * U.C.S. Soldier: I see one unidentified wanzer near the crash site, sir.


 * U.C.S. Officer: It must be the O.C.U.! We'll neutralize them!

Frederick Attacked

 * Frederick: Whoa! What the hell!?

(After attack)


 * Frederick: Ack! H-help me!

If Natalie was present during the mission=
 * Natalie: What now?


 * Royd: We need to hit the U.C.S. units anyway. We're covering him.


 * Natalie: But, sir...


 * Royd: We don't leave people surrounded and alone... Not this time.


 * Natalie: Royd...


 * Royd: Civilian vehicle--this is the O.C.U. Army mercenary group Canyon Crows. Form on us and we'll cover you.


 * Frederick: O-okay. Thanks!

U.C.S. Recovers Cargo

 * U.C.S. Soldier: We've recovered the cargo. Amazing! It's a new type of missile launcher!


 * U.C.S. Officer: Good work! Let's see how it works on those Ossie wanzers.

Mission Complete

 * Natalie: All targets neutralized.


 * Keith: Hey, did that idiot journalist bite it or not?


 * Frederick: Wow, what a rush! Now this is what I call captivating wartime footage!


 * Ryuji: I'm afraid he's still intact...


 * Frederick: The name's Frederick Lancaster. Don't you read the papers? I'm a famous war reporter, y'know.


 * Natalie: Nope. Never heard of you. But about what you said earlier... Did you call me--


 * Frederick: Hey, you lead this outfit, right? I got a favor to ask. Mind if I tag along with you guys? I won't give you any trouble. I'm pretty good with wanzers, and I can shoot a gun better than a camera.


 * Royd: ...Do as you like. I'd rather keep you where I can see you than on the loose.


 * Natalie: Royd! I know the colonel gave you full authority on recruiting new members, but... Please, not him!
