Stage 06 (FM4)/Transcript

The following is a transcript of Scene 06, the seventh mission of Front Mission 4, in addition to the dialogue before and after Scene 06.

Pre-Mission Dialogue
[Durandal Transport Hangar]


 * Robert: I have them on my sensors. We can still catch them...


 * Zead: Where are they going?


 * Robert: If they keep going straight, they'll cross the German border pretty soon.


 * Elsa: We have to catch them!


 * Robert: I know, I know... I'm just not sure if we have enough fuel...


 * Zead: Arrow Three's transport is waiting for us near the German border. We'll be fine as long as we reach it.


 * Robert: All right. I'll do my best.

[Talk to Zead]


 * Zead: Elsa, are you all right? You seem perturbed.


 * Elsa: How can you be calm at a time like this, Zead?


 * Zead: I understand how you feel, but you must regain your composure. We don't want to lose you as well.


 * Elsa: ...

Second time and beyond


 * Zead: Calm down, Elsa. Remember, none of us must die before we return with concrete proof to back up our claims.

[Talk to Hermes]


 * Hermes: Here, Elsa, use this. The enemy's firepower should be pretty high, so we should be careful not to take too many hits when we fight them.

[Obtained shield: WS-100.]

Second time and beyond


 * Hermes: Our plan didn't work... I wasn't good enough...

[Talk to Latona]


 * h: Don't worry. We can still reach them.

[Talk to Robert]


 * Robert: I won't let them get away as long as I have fuel!

[German Border]


 * Zead: What's our position?


 * Latona: We're about thirty kilometers in from the German national border... Are we really going to fight here?


 * Zead: I would like to avoid that if possible... but something has been bothering me for a while now. The German army has yet to react to our presence.


 * Latona: Their patrols must be too spread out. They lost a lot of units when their base was attacked.


 * Zead: True, but...


 * Hermes: I just got a message from Arrow Three--he's got 'em! Checking coordinates now... They're close!


 * Elsa: Move out!

''The screen fades out then fades back in. The Durandal unit spots the enemy helicopter.''


 * Hermes: There they are!


 * Elsa: Let's get them!

A shot is fired near Elsa's wanzer.


 * Elsa: !?

Dranz and the Blauer Nebel are at the other end of the highway.


 * Dranz: Attention, unidentified troops. You are violating international law by crossing the German border in armed wanzers. Withdraw immediately or you will be fired upon. This is your only warning.


 * Elsa: The Blauer Nebel...


 * Zead: We are the Durandal. We are in pursuit of the armed wanzers that destroyed the resource base in Poland. We request authorization to proceed.


 * Dranz: We do not read any other wanzers in the vicinity. Authorization denied. You were warned.

A Blauer Nebel wanzer fires its shotgun at a spot near Elsa's wanzer.


 * Hermes: Uh... guys? Looks like they're serious!

Dranz Defeated

 * Dranz: I lost...? To them!?

Post-Mission Dialogue

 * Zead: Is everyone all right?


 * Hermes: Uh-huh... But what are we gonna do now?


 * Latona: Even though they shot first, we just lit up a squad of German wanzers. We don't have much time until the rest of the army comes after us. We have to get out of here.


 * Elsa: But we cannot just leave!


 * Bosch: Arrow Three here. Come in.


 * Zead: Do you have our position, Arrow Three?


 * Bosch: Yes, I have you on my screen.


 * Zead: We need to resupply first. We will think of our next move once we are properly rested.

The screen fades out then fades in to a group of Blauer Nebel wanzers.


 * Dranz: Major, do you read me? I was unable to stop the Durandal. I am sorry, sir.


 * Wagner: Do not worry. You have bought us enough time. The assault team has been recovered and are on their way to Wassau.


 * Dranz: What about the Durandal, sir?


 * Wagner: Leave them to me. We will lure them here and eliminate them. Dranz, you are cleared to return to base.


 * Dranz: Yes, Major.

A transport plane is seen flying near their location.
