"The coast is clear. Area secured." |
Fayette |
"We've recovered all the ice sculptures. Apparently this is an ice sculpture hot spot. The quantity that's coming out of here is unbelievable. It's unparalleled so far." |
Volgo |
"Maybe these ice sculptures were originally here, maybe these things accumulated another thick layer of ice on top of the ice that flowed into Sector Eight." |
Fayette |
"Good reasoning. The sniper has a good perspective." |
Volgo |
"It's all because of your intelligence-gathering skills though. Sides, you Fayette would have thought the same thing, wouldn't you?" |
Fayette |
"Heheh, pretty much." |
Tayshet |
"There's so many ice sculptures collected, yet the ice around here doesn't seem to budge. Why though?" |
Fayette |
"I think that this place is a hot spot..." |
Fayette |
"...Aaaand looks like there's 'something' worse." |
Paddington |
"HAWAWA~! What is this shaking! It's totally different from anything so far! Surely the ice isn't all going to break and we're fall into the frigid lake..." |
Fayette |
"Chill chill, let's just calm down for now." |
Tayshet |
"Yes, Paddington, sometimes, panicking won't help the situation." |
Paddington |
"HAWAWA...!" |
Volgo |
"Tayshet is right, but that's a harsh thing to say to Paddington right now. In times like this, it's better to calm her down with some white lies." |
Tayshet |
"Really? Tayshet, not very good at that sort of thing." |
Fayette |
"Now then, Volgo, why don't ya try to calm a flustered Paddington?" |
Volgo |
"I'll try." |
Paddington |
"HAWAWAAAA!" |
Paddington |
"AWAWAWAAA!" |
Volgo |
"Paddington, I have some very good news to tell you." |
Paddington |
"G-Good news?" |
Volgo |
"...If you shout even more, the ice will break. Enemies will come. That's all." |
Paddington |
"Hawa... wa..." |
Volgo |
"Well, that's pretty much it." |
Tayshet |
"Understood, as expected of the Death God of Loren Citadel." |
Fayette |
"Yeah, that was really cool. Now I like you even more." |
Volgo |
"That's nice to hear. I'm not one to be told by someone to my face that they like me." |
Fayette |
"And that helped with the shaking. Thanks yo." |
Volgo |
"...Th-That joke's not funny. It's not me who stopped the shaking." |
Volgo |
"--Huh, what's that thing that looks like an altar?" |
Entrance to Sector Seven of Ancient Lake Baikal. In that place where many mysterious ice sculptures are gathered, the Special Steel Squad saw neither suspicious people nor objects, but a mysterious altar that emerged from the thick ice. |
--It was an altar of ice. The ice altar appeared in a place where there was nothing just moments ago. |
No Phantom Mist is present in the area. Thus it is neither an illusion created by the Mist nor something that was there originally.
In the short time after the ice sculptures were retrieved, the ice on the surface of the lake rose and formed the altar. |
Fayette |
"Some progress. Let's leave Conductor to decide where to go from here." |
Volgo |
"It looks like it might have something to do with the ice sculptures we collected. It's worth looking into." |
Fayette |
"Well, we can't camp here anyway." |
Tayshet |
"Wonder if that altar is also made of never-melting ice..." |
