Beginning of Chapter

[Lazurian/Rubinelle Coastline]/[Coast - Former Laurentia-Zephyrus Border]

US Europe
Brenner: Any news, Will? O'Brian: Any news, Ed?
Will: No, sir. Nobody's here either. Ed: No. We found no one in the port...
Brenner: I see. We'll just have to keep looking. O'Brian: I see. So there's no one here either... But we must keep looking...
Will: It's been a whole year since the meteors came down, and we still can't see the sun. How long will it be before we see another blue sky? Ed: It's been a whole year since the meteors struck, and still we can't see the sun. How long is it going to take before the clouds clear and it returns to normal?
Brenner: Don't give up hope. The sun will find a way to break through again. However, I think it's time to increase our search radius, even if we have to leave the shelter. What's our supply situation, Lin? O'Brian: Never give up hope, Ed. The sun will break through again. We need to increase the range of our search, even if it takes us away from the shelter. Lin, how is the supply situation looking?
Lin: We have enough for another three months. But more and more refugees have been coming to the shelter. We're already over capacity, and they are still coming. If we keep taking them in... Lin: We have enough for another three months. But recently, more and more refugees have been coming to the shelter. It's already occupied far beyond its capacity and yet they keep on coming... If we continue taking them all in, the burden will become too great.
Brenner: We'll figure something out. We're not turning anyone away. Will, what's the current status of the civilian population? O'Brian: But we can't turn them away. Ed, how are things among the civilian population?
Will: Everyone seems to be getting by, and they're all helping each other. But, then again, they don't know just how low our food supplies are... Ed: Everyone seems to be getting along well and they're all helping each other. But they don't know how low food supplies are running...
Lin: There's a growing faction of civilians who follow that idiot mayor. They sit around all day waiting for us to feed them and keep them safe. If they knew about the supply situation, they would likely turn on the newcomers... The situation isn't good. I worry it could deteriorate to infighting at any time. Lin: There is a faction among the civilians centred on the village mayor. They lounge around doing nothing, relying on us for their food and safety. If they knew that we are short of supplies, they would no doubt turn on the new-comers... The more people that come, the smaller their share will inevitably become... There are already severe tensions and this situation could deteriorate...
Will: I won't let that happen! We'll just find a new place to live! We can't resort to fighting our own people. Ed: I'll do whatever I can to prevent that! We will find a new place to live... We don't need to fight among ourselves. I'll continue searching the area!
Lin: I'm worried that Will is pushing himself too hard. I know he wants to help, but he puts a lot of pressure on himself. Lin: I'm concerned that Ed is pushing himself too hard. I appreciate that he wants to help, but he puts himself under a lot of pressure.
Brenner: He still sees himself as a civilian, not a soldier. That's why he's worried that the other civilians might become a burden to us. O'Brian: He still sees himself more as a civilian than as a soldier. That's why he is so concerned that the other civilians might become a burden to us.
Lin: He doesn't make things easy for himself. Lin: He doesn't make things easy for himself...
Brenner: No, he doesn't. O'Brian: He certainly doesn't.
Lin: Captain... I've started hearing some disturbing rumors from incoming refugees. They say there is a war raging in the north. Lin: Captain, I forgot to ask you. Have you heard the rumours from the refugees... ...about the huge war raging in the north?
Brenner: War? The world is in ruins. There's no one left to start a war. O'Brian: War? But there are no nations anymore. Who would have started a war?
Lin: Regardless, there are rumors that the survivors have been banding together. And that someone has dragged them into a full-scale war. However, it's only a rumor. Lin: As you say, after the meteors struck, our nations and their armies collapsed. But rumour has it the survivors have been gathering... And that they have been brought together into a large-scale army. But this remains an unconfirmed rumour.
Will: Captain! Ed: Captain!
Brenner: What is it, Will? O'Brian: What is it, Ed?
Will: Ships have been sighted off the coast! I can't be sure, but it looks like some Rubinelle Army survivors are under attack! Ed: Ships have been sighted off the coast! It seems that former Laurentian units are under enemy attack!

Middle of Chapter

US Europe
Davis: Aw, man. This ain't good, man... C-Captain Brenner! HELP! They're attacking us! Cole: H-H-Help! Captain O'Brian!
Brenner: Davis?! Is that you? O'Brian: Cole?! Can that really be you?!
Will: You know him, Captain? Ed: You know him, Captain?
Brenner: I do. Davis used to be under my command. O'Brian: Yes, he used to be under my command.
Davis: The Lazurians are all over us! We need support now, Captain! Cole: We're under attack by the Zephyrians! Captain O'Brian, you have to help!
Brenner: Why do the Lazurians have to keep throwing fuel on this damn war? O'Brian: Why do the Zephyrians insist on keeping this futile war going?
Davis: Please, Captain! Take 'em out before it's too late! We're gettin' torn up! Cole: P-Please, Captain O'Brian! Do something before it's too late!
Brenner: Hang tight, Davis. We're on our way! O'Brian: Hang on, Cole. We're going in!
Lin: Remember, your forces are in red uniforms. The enemy is wearing blue. Davis's forces are yellow. Don't forget that they are our allies. Lin: Remember that on the map we are the red force, while our enemies are blue. Cole's forces are yellow. Don't forget that they are our allies.
Isabella: Gunboats can strike other naval units with missile salvos. They carry only enough missiles to fire one full salvo, so use it wisely. They can also transport one infantry or mech unit. Catleia: Missile Boats can attack other naval units. They are armed with just one missile, so think carefully before you use it... They can also transport one Infantry or Bazooka unit.
Lin: ... ... ... ... Lin: ... ... ... ...
Will: Are you OK, sir? Ed: Are you okay, First Lieutenant Lin?
Lin: What, me? Oh yeah, sure. No worries. Now that Isabella is training, I'm ...not quite sure what to do with myself. ...Maybe I need a new hobby. Like...knitting. Lin: I'm fine... It's just that with Catleia taking over as teacher, I feel like a spare part...
Will: Don't say that! Can you tell me more about this unit? Ed: Don't say that! Tell me more about this unit...
Lin: It's a lander. Lin: This is a Lander.
Will: Right. Uh...could you give me a little more information? Sir? Ed: Ummm... First Lieutenant Lin, could you give me a few more details please?
Lin: ...I guess I could. But I think I'll let Isabella talk now. Over to you, Isabella. Lin: Of course, I am well-versed in naval units as I am in ground forces... But I'll give Catleia a chance to explain further. Over to you...
Isabella: You can load up two ground units onto a lander. Run the lander onto a beach to unload or pick up units. Catleia: You can load up two ground units onto a Lander at any one time. If you move the Lander to a Shoal, you can load and drop units.
Davis: My forces have taken heavy damage! You're going to have to take over. No offense, but my priority right now is gettin' outta here in one piece... Cole: My forces have been heavily damaged! It's up to you to engage the enemy! My priority is to protect my forces and keep them out of harm's way...
Tasha: More Rubes joining the fight? Good, keep them coming! Come on, Lazurians! Let's wipe 'em off the map! Zadia: More Laurentians joining the fight? That's great news! Come on, my fellow Zephyrians! Let's wipe them all out!

End of Chapter

US Europe
Davis: Oh, man! I thought we were goners! Cole: It's been a while, hasn't it, Captain?
Brenner: Good to see you alive, Davis. What have you been up to? O'Brian: Cole, it's good to see you alive and well.
Davis: Me? Aw, I'm commanding a force for Admiral Greyfield. I've been looking all over for you, Captain Brenner! Look, I'll come straight out and say it...we want you and your men to join us. Cole: I now have a force under the leadership of Admiral Sigismundo. I have been looking for you, Captain O'Brian. I heard that your Legion was in this area. I'll come straight out and say it - we want you and your Legion to join us.
Brenner: Explain. O'Brian: Explain.
Davis: A huge war's broken out between Rubinelle and Lazuria. Greyfield took command and formed the New Rubinelle Army so we could take it to 'em! Cole: A major war has begun between the remnants of the Laurentian and Zephyrian armies. We have formed the New Laurentian Army, and are battling against our old enemy.
Brenner: This world is a slag heap. What could you possibly be fighting over? O'Brian: ...War?! You are still at war?! Why?! Who started it?! To what ends are you fighting it?!
Davis: Well, the... The Lazurians started it! So now we gotta wipe 'em out! And the Lazurians are led by the legendary General Forsythe. They rallied behind him and hit us but good! Truth be told, we took some lumps... Cole: Needless to say, it was the Zephyrians who started it. We must defeat them. The Zephyrian forces are led by the legendary General Carter, their foremost military hero. They have united around him and their morale is high. We are in a bad position...
Brenner: Continue. O'Brian: Continue.
Davis: Look, we...we have tons of supplies! Food, fuel, weapons...everything! Join us, and you won't ever have to worry about shortages. They can all live easy! Cole: Captain, we have ample supplies. We have food, fuel, weaponry... If you join us, we can guarantee that you will face no more shortages. They can all live in comfort.
Brenner: "They"? Who are you talking about? O'Brian: "They"? Who do you mean?
Davis: Captain, we know you've been protecting a big crowd of refugees and survivors. But you have to be running low on food and supplies, yeah? C'mon! Join us! Cole: Captain, it is well known that you have been aiding large numbers of refugees and survivors. But you can't have unlimited supplies of food. For their sake, join us!
Brenner: Our situation is none of Greyfield's concern. O'Brian: It's true that we are concerned by our dwindling supplies of food. But...
Davis: Look, man... Er, Captain. We need you just as much as you need us, and that's no lie. But we're both Rubinelle through and through! Not even doomsday can change that. Join us, Captain Brenner! Cole: Captain, we need your help just as you need ours... We are fellow Laurentians. All that has happened has not altered that fact. Please, join us Captain O'Brian.

Tasha: What? Why?! Call in reinforcements, Gage! I want to keep fighting! Zadia: Why, Trak, why?! We could call for reinforcements! I want to fight on!
Gage: Orders from General Forsythe. Trak: Those are General Carter's orders.
Tasha: But...WHY?! Look at them! Those Rubinelle forces are lame ducks! Zadia: But...why?! The dregs of the Laurentian army are sitting ducks! We must destroy them!
Gage: Tasha? It was a direct order. Trak: Zadia, are you disobeying a direct order from General Carter?
Tasha: Dammit! Zadia: No, of course not...
Gage: Calm down. There's no place for emotion on the battlefield. Stay cool, follow orders, and eliminate the enemy. That is all we have to do. Trak: You're too emotional. Feelings have no place on the battlefield. Stay calm, follow orders and wipe the enemy out. That is our only task.
Tasha: Gya! I'll get revenge on all those Rubes! I swear it! Zadia: Y-You're right... But mark my words! I will have my revenge on the Laurentians!
