U-Mission 04/Transcript

The following is a transcript of U-Mission 04, the fourth mission of Front Mission First's U.C.S. campaign, in addition to the dialogue before U-Mission 04.

Command Room

 * Driscoll: Yes, the list is adequate. Proceed as planned. We will arrange for a suitable location.
 * ???: You do realize this could lead to war.
 * Driscoll: That would be ideal. Material acquisition is far easier in that sort of environment, after all.
 * ???: All part of the plan, eh? I'll keep my end of the bargain as long as you keep yours.
 * Driscoll: I would not have it otherwise. Your request is being properly processed.
 * ???: I'll have the shipment out the door as soon as it's ready. You know the time and place. I'll call again.

(The phone is hung up.)


 * Driscoll: ...Scum.

(Someone knocks on a door.)


 * Driscoll: Enter.
 * Kevin: Greenfield reporting, sir.
 * Driscoll: Lieutenant... Why did you not dispose of the agent as ordered? Can you fathom the extent of the political mess that would have ensued were he captured?
 * Kevin: He wasn't, sir. And I don't shoot allies.
 * Driscoll: Lieutenant, you will come to understand that this department does not follow such simplistic rules. However...you have accomplished your mission, even if I disagree with your methodology.

(A door is opened.)


 * Driscoll: Gilmore. What do you want?
 * Gilmore: The prototypes carrying the new device models have gone out of control! We need to recover the devices before it's too late!
 * Driscoll: Lieutenant, it's now your job to stop those prototypes. Destroy them if you have to, but don't let them leave the facility grounds.
 * Gilmore: No! Driscoll! I need them in one piece!


 * Talk


 * Driscoll
 * Driscoll: What are you still doing here, Lieutenant?


 * Driscoll (Second time)
 * Driscoll: Don't waste any more time here. Begin your mission immediately!


 * Gilmore
 * Gilmore: You're the new recruit, aren't you? Hmm... Yes, interesting.


 * Gilmore (Second time)
 * Gilmore: Oh, pay me no mind. Carry on.

Barracks

 * Talk


 * Johnny
 * Johnny: Those prototypes... I wonder what they are researching here.


 * Johnny (Second time)
 * Johnny: I've been to military research facilities before, but this one is very different...


 * Matthew
 * Matthew: Do you think they'll make us ride those prototypes, sir?


 * Matthew (Second time)
 * Matthew: This place gives me the creeps, Lieutenant...

Pre-Combat Dialogue

 * Kevin: Neutralize all the runaway wanzers, but do not destroy their core bodies! The pilots are still inside!
 * Matthew: Aim for their arms and legs, then? Sir, can you tell them stop moving so we can aim better?
 * Johnny: We wouldn't need to if you actually showed up for target training.
 * Mercenary: Prototypes or not, there are only two of them! Let's claim their bounties, boys!

Mercenary Attacks Enemy

 * Mercenary: What the hell is that thing made of!?
 * Mercenary: Just gang up on one! We outnumber them!

Enemy Escapes (Mission Failure)

 * Kevin: We failed...
 * Driscoll: Perhaps I should reconsider your contract... You, find out which city district it was headed toward, and burn it to the ground.
 * Man in Black: Yes, sir.

Both Enemy Units Disabled/Defeated

 * Kevin: Let's get the pilot out before it's too late.

(The screen changes to show both Type 90X wanzers on the ground.)


 * Matthew: Sir...the pilot's already dead.
 * Kevin: Damn...

(Both Type 90Xs start moving.)


 * Matthew: Whoa! Th-the wanzer! It's still moving!
 * Kevin: That's not possible!

(An Armored Car appears.)


 * Gilmore: Stand aside! You're in the way!
 * Matthew: Wha--who're you?
 * Gilmore: Get that thing on the truck before the auxiliary battery dies!

(The Type 90Xs disappear, and the Armored Car leaves.)


 * Matthew: What's going on?
 * Kevin: I wish I knew...
