"Hmm, we've got a bad situation here. I don't think I've ever observed such strong magic in the carrière yet." |
Brittany |
"But not so much for the Mist outbreak. It was worse when the fake Fairy King appeared..." |
Brittany |
"This lightning is not caused by the clouds either. It's as Rennes predicted. Something sinister is about to happen to West Brocéliande." |
Brittany |
"Rennes, you there?" |
Rennes |
"Yes, I'm here." |
Brittany |
"Ring the bell. It's an emergency. Summon the rangers who is out on patrol right now." |
Rennes |
"I think it's a wise decision. A deep darkness is about to overtake the western side of Brocéliande. A very sinister darkness, different from the menace of the Phantom Mist." |
Brittany |
"I am glad I believed your warning. Even our dear mother did not notice this anomaly. Good job. You did well in detecting it." |
Rennes |
"I was just a little more cautious than most. I'm sure maman would have noticed if too if the darkness was this thick." |
Brittany |
"Your experience in the SSS has come in handy. As my soeur and as a forest ranger, I can rely on you." |
Rennes |
"So, what's the plan?" |
Brittany |
"Seal off the west. We'll fortify the interior. This mysterious magic is concentrated in the megaliths. If this is the source of the Phantom Mist, the forest rangers will be unable to deal with it." |
Rennes |
No ranger squads until phase two begins? The rangers guarding the perimeter will be isolated for a while." |
Brittany |
"The two perimeter security teams will be combined into a joint team. The courier to each group will join the security team. East side can be left unguarded. Leave that side to the Gendarmerie and let us fortify the west and south sides." |
Rennes |
"Understood. I'll send out the messenger immediately. Fontaine is handling the eastern flank, so I'll leave her in charge of the Gendarmerie." |
Brittany |
"......" |
Brittany |
"Rennes, I hear the SSS is also on standby to the east? Mademoiselle Vivienne should be guiding Versailles around." |
Rennes |
"Yes, they should be. They're due back tomorrow, so I'm sure everyone else apart from those two will be back on the Train." |
Brittany |
"I see..." |
Rennes |
"......" |
Rennes |
"I think it's a good idea. Regardless if it's just a limited number of members, if they're all here, we should rely on them." |
Brittany |
"I haven't even said anything yet." |
Rennes |
"But I think we should. We're going to need the help of Conductor's squad, oui." |
Rennes |
"My intuition says so too. There is an imminent crisis that the rangers cannot handle. Lightning strikes the carrière whenever shana babies appear, or when the forest starts singing the 'Song of Doom'..." |
Rennes |
"At the moment there is no sign of the shana tribe. This is the beginning of the Song of Doom." |
Rennes |
"Just take action as soon as possible. And then take all the steps we can take. That's all we can do. It is up to you, soeur, as warden of the carrière to make the decision." |
Brittany |
"...I understand. Please call everyone of the SSS on standby to the carrière. Tell them to come by Mist Train using the tracks to the north." |
Brittany |
"ASAP please. The message to the SSS is top priority. Whoever can move fastest in the dark of night should head there." |
Rennes |
"Dofufuh. Soeur sure says funny things at times like this. The one who can move fastest in the dark of night, you said." |
Rennes |
"...That'll be either our maman or me in that case. You know that, don't you?" |
Brittany |
"Do me a favour Rennes, leave this to me and get to Sir Conductor as soon as possible." |
Brittany |
"Now, you must go now. Don't turn back until you get Sir Conductor." |
Rennes |
"?" |
Rennes |
"......" |
Brittany |
"Rennes, what are you doing? Get moving. Can't you listen to soeur?" |
Rennes |
"Well... This is certainly not a good idea. No wonder soeur's upset." |
Rennes |
"Something is coming towards us. You have already spotted it before I did, soeur." |
Brittany |
"So you you did notice it too..." |
Rennes |
"Oui, a huge amount of magical power is concentrated in the carrière. It is a mysterious force with different properties from the Phantom Mist... It is not a magical force that can be contained by soeur alone." |
Brittany |
"I will decide how to deal with it when I actually see the thing." |
Rennes |
"What is that? All the lightning is coming down on the altar." |
Brittany |
"It looks like the altar is attracting lightning. And it keeps storing up magic." |
Brittany |
"Is that a... Gate?" |
*BANG* |
Rennes |
"Look out!" |
Rennes |
"That was the biggest lightning strike I've ever seen. Soeur, you okay? Are you hurt?" |
Brittany |
"I'm fine. I'm sorry, thank you for saving my life." |
Brittany |
"...But you can't rest on your laurels, Rennes." |
Rennes |
"Oui, it would seem so." |
Brittany |
"It's a Metro Hole. It's probably almost identical to the one that appeared in St. Iles." |
Brittany |
"Rennes, please hurry. If something bad is coming from the other side, we're in trouble." |
Rennes |
"I'll be back by dawn. Please be careful, soeur." |
Brittany |
"A Metro Hole appeared with thunder. Could it have something to do with the shana tribe...?" |
