Beginning of Chapter

12th Battalion Base Camp/Independent Legion Base Camp

US Europe
Mayor: Brenner! I need to talk to you! Is it true that the girl traveling with you is sick? Mayor: O'Brian! I've been hearing worrying rumours... I heard that one of the civilians traveling with you is infected with something...
Brenner: Yes, it's true. It's nothing you need to worry about, though. The virus only affects people under a certain age. No one in your group is in danger. O'Brian: Yes, she is... But don't worry. It can only affect children, and you have no children with you, right?
Mayor: That's not the point! Sickness and disease make people nervous, and nervous people panic. We can't have that! You've got to get rid of her. We can't afford the risk. Mayor: That's supposed to make it okay?! We don't want to be around any sick people! Kick her out of the camp! Let her fend for herself! We don't want her near us!
Brenner: I think you need to stop talking now. We're in this together. All of us. Is that clear? O'Brian: I think you've said enough. We are all in this together.
Mayor: No, it's not! Would you put us all in danger to protect one girl? We don't know who she is or where she came from! She has to go, Brenner! Mayor: All in this together?! Don't talk such nonsense! We're just trying to survive. If some girl is sick, we have to get rid of her fast!
Brenner: Listen carefully, because I'm only going to say this once. No one gets left behind. Not you, or your people, not Will, and not Isabella. If you have a problem with that, you're free to leave whenever you want. O'Brian: Listen to me very carefully. No one gets left behind. Not you, the villagers, Ed, Catleia, or anyone. We are in this together. And if you really have a problem with that, you are free to leave whenever you want.
Mayor: You...you fool! You're too soft, Brenner! If this goes wrong, it's on your head! I'll hold you personally responsible! Mayor: You're too soft, O'Brian! Okay, I get it. You're not going to budge. But if the virus spreads, it's on your head!
Will: How's Isabella doing, Dr. Morris? Ed: Doctor, how is Catleia doing?
Dr. Morris: You're going to worry no matter what I tell you, so here's the truth. It's not good, Will. She needs medicine, and she needs it now. Dr Moritz: You're going to make yourself sick worrying about that girl... I'll tell you straight - things aren't looking too good. We need medicine, and we need it now.
Will: Can I see her? Ed: Can I see her?
Dr. Morris: Absolutely not! We've had this conversation before. This virus is most dangerous to people of your age. I won't allow you to see her. Dr Moritz: Absolutely not. You can't go in there. I told you that already. Young people are at risk of infection, and you cannot be in the same room.
Will: But, Dr. Morris, I-- Ed: But...!
Dr. Morris: Once we get to the shelter, there's a good chance I'll be able to treat her. But until then you have to stay away. You don't want to get sick too, do you? Dr Moritz: Once we arrive at the nuclear shelter, there is a good chance we can treat her... But until then, you stay away unless you want to catch the same disease...
Will: I don't care! What would it matter anyway? If I don't see her now, I may never get the chance to apologize. So please... Ed: What does it matter even if I do catch the same disease? If I don't meet her now, I might never be able to apologise to her for not doing more... I need to see her...
Dr. Morris: Your apology can wait, boy. I'm more concerned with her well-being, and you should be too. Dr Moritz: It sounds like you're thinking of yourself more than you're thinking about her.
Will: What's that supposed to mean? Ed: What do you mean?!
Dr. Morris: I don't wish to betray doctor-patient confidentiality, but I have spoken to her. What's troubling her most is the fear that she's become a burden to us. She thinks it would be better if she'd died before you found her. Dr Moritz: Without wanting to betray doctor-patient confidentiality, I have spoken to her. What is troubling her most of all is the fear that she has become a burden to you all. She keeps saying that maybe it would have been better if you had never rescued her...
Will: How can she think that?! Ed: How can she think that?!
Dr. Morris: But she hasn't given up hope. She never even complains about the pain. The other Creeper patients I've treated have all begged me to...end their suffering. But Isabella has chosen to live. And do you know why? It's because she owes that life to you. Dr Moritz: But she has not given up hope. She never complains about the pain. All of the other victims of this virus that I have seen were begging me to end their misery... But she has chosen to live. Do you know why? Because she owes that life to you.
Will: ... ... ... ... Ed: ... ... ... ...
Dr. Morris: She believes that if she refuses to give up, we'll find a way to cure her. Her first memory is of you telling her she was going to be all right. She trusts you implicitly, the way a newly hatched chick trusts its mother. She believes everything you told her about having hope. I suggest you believe it too. Dr Moritz: She believes that if she refuses to give in to despair, we will find a way to cure her. After losing her memory, the first thing she was aware of was you reaching out to rescue her. She trust you implicitly, the way a newly-hatched chick trusts its mother. She believes everything you told her about not giving up, about having hope. So you'd better believe it too.
Will: You...you're right. I'm sorry, Dr. Morris. Thank you. Ed: D-Dr Moritz... I-I'm sorry. Thank you...
Dr. Morris: No need to apologize. I can't allow you to see her, but... Oh ho! Yes, you could try speaking to her through the door. Dr Moritz: You've got nothing to apologise to me about! Look, you can't meet her directly, but if you were to speak to her through the door...
Will: Really? Would that be OK? Ed: Really? Would that be okay?
Dr. Morris: Certainly. Just for a little while, though. Dr Moritz: Just for a little while, you understand?

Middle of Chapter

US Europe
Lin: This route leads directly to the foothills of the Seratta mountain range. However, recon reports those raiders are back and blocking the way. Lin: This route leads directly to the foothills of the Seratta mountain range... But advance troops are reporting that those bandits have regrouped.
Brenner: Set up an ambush, have they? Seems they really are hell-bent on revenge. We're going to have to finish this once and for all. Advance! O'Brian: So it's an ambush, is it? It seems they're hell-bent on revenge. We're going to have to settle this once and for all...Advance!
Dr. Morris: Come in, Captain Brenner! Dr. Morris here, and I've got great news! This airport we found is in fine working condition. You can produce new air units whenever you need them! Dr Moritz: Captain O'Brian! I've got some great news for you! This airport is all ready to use! You can produce new air units whenever you need them!
Brenner: Roger that, Doc. Air support will be welcome. O'Brian: Thanks for letting me know. This will be a ground and air battle.
Lin: Rigs can be used to build temporary airports. That looks like a good spot. Move there and commence construction. Lin: Mobile Workshops can be used to build Temporary Airports.

That looks like a good spot. Move there and commence construction.

Lin: With bombers, you can attack ground and naval units. Bombers are very powerful and can even take out tanks with one strike. Utilize your bombers to attack the enemy's ground units. Lin: With Bombers, you can attack ground and sea units. Bombers are very powerful and can even take out Tanks with one strike. Utilise your Bombers to attack the enemy's ground units.
Will: This unit must be... Ed: This unit must be...
Lin: It's a duster. It can attack ground units as well as other air units. It's not as powerful as a fighter or a bomber, but good to have nonetheless. Lin: It's a Fighter. It can attack ground units as well as other air units. But its attacks are not as powerful as those of the Bomber or Interceptor.
Will: Right, I studied them at the academy. They're inexpensive and versatile. Ed: Yes, I studied them at Military academy. They're cheap and versatile...
Lin: Good memory, Will. Now use them to attack those nearby ground units. Lin: Or jacks-of-all-trades, masters of none. Attack near-by ground units.
Lin: With fighters, you can take on other air units. When it comes to air combat, fighters are second to none. Now let's take out the enemy's air units! Lin: With Interceptors, you can take on other air units. In an aerial battle, Interceptors are your most powerful weapon. Take out the enemy's aerial units!
Lin: Good. The rig crew has gotten started. Select Build on your next turn to continue construction. Lin: The Mobile Workshop has begun construction. Select Build on your next turn to continue construction.
Dr. Morris: That's right! Keep building! We've all got to do our part! Dr Moritz: Keep building! we'll do our bit too!
The Beast: GYAAARRR! Where the hell am I? Where did all these copters and tanks come from? Oh, my head... Wait! It's SOLDIER BOY!!! Time for The Beast to hunt! GYAAARRR! Drakov: Gaargh! What am I doing here?! Where did I get all these Tanks and Helicopters from...?! Who cares anyway?! Har-har-har!!! It's payback time!
Dr. Morris: Excellent work! That temporary airport is open for business. Dr Moritz: That's quite an airport you've come up with! I'm impressed!
Lin: Temporary airports allow air units to be refueled and repaired. Lin: Temporary Airports allow air units to refuel and recover.
Brenner: Looks like the rig's run out of building materials... O'Brian: Looks like the Mobile Workshop has run out of building materials...
The Beast: 'Bout time you showed your ugly mugs! Drakov: We've been waiting for you!
Will: Why are you doing this? Get out of our way! We have to save Isabella! Ed: Why are standing in our way? Let us through! We have to save Catleia!
The Beast: Isa-whatta? You think I care about what you're doing? I want BLOOD! Drakov: You think I care who you have to save?! Har-har-har!!!
Will: You may have tanks and guns and men at your command, but... You're not a soldier! You're nothing but a murderer! Ed: You command an army, but you're not a soldier! You're nothing but a thief, a bandit and a murderer!
The Beast: Gwar har har har! Murderer? ME? And you're a snot-nosed punk! Drakov: Har-har-har!!! Don't make me laugh! What do you know about war?
Will: I... Ed: ... ... ... ...
The Beast: War IS murder! You hear me?! Soldiers are trained to KILL! That's battlefield learnin', punk! Your textbooks teach you that? HUH?! You wanna learn 'bout war? Fine by me! The Beast'll teach you good! Drakov: Listen up, brat! Whatever you read in comic books isn't the real world! Soldiers aren't heroes! War isn't honourable! It's about destruction! I'm going to teach you the real meaning of war!
