Talk with Isurd[edit]
Taion
What's wrong, Commander?
Isurd
Hm? Oh. It's you guys.
The Ferronis was heavily damaged during the battle, do you remember?
As a result, some of our remote- administrated Auto-Levs aren't responding to transmitted instructions.

Eunie
I'm not 100% on the techno-babble, but... That doesn't sound good.
Isurd
Indeed. I've sent some of our tech guys over so we'll know soon enough.
Mio
Do you really need the machines?
Sena
Are you thinking there might be another battle?
Isurd
It's nothing like that, I assure you.
Colony Lambda's now focused on ether mining, and-

Noah
Wh-what was that?!
Tulgrim
We just received word of a tunnel collapse!
Isurd
What?!
I'll be there ASAP. Are the troops assembled?
I'll be there ASAP. Are the troops assembled?
Tulgrim
They're all in position.
Isurd
Then go on ahead.
Sorry about this, after you took the trouble to come all the way here.

Taion
Commander, please let us lend a hand!
Isurd
Only if you're sure.
But your help will be welcome.
But your help will be welcome.
Taion
Roger that!
Isurd has temporarily joined the party.
Isurd
Let's hurry into the tunnels.
Enter the Urayan Tunnels[edit]
Isurd
The tunnels are up ahead.
Head for the Mine No. 3 Area[edit]
Isurd
The tunnel walls should have been stabilized! What happened?!
Lanz
Hey, look over there!
Mio
It's collapsed.
Sena
Ah! We got monsters!
Isurd
They must have been living in a place with elevated ether concentration, then found their way in here.
Noah
We better get there quick!
Isurd
There's no direct path there. We'll have to go around...
Lanz
You've got Levnises, don't you? One'd make short work of these things.
Tulgrim
But we need permission from each squad's leader to activate a Levnis...
Eunie
Oh, come the snuff on, this is an emergency!
Isurd
You stay here on standby. There might be another collapse, so we'll go on alone.
Tulgrim
But Commander...!
Isurd
Execute a partial evacuation once the tunnel mouth is secured.
Coordinate with the medic corps and treat any wounded.
These are special orders for which I take full accountability. Inform the other troops.

Tulgrim
Yes, sir!
Isurd
Now, all of you...
Taion
We'll be fine, Commander. You can count on us.
Isurd
...Understood. I'm sorry for dragging you into this.
Head for the site of the cave-in[edit]
Isurd
We want to reach the cave-in.
First off, we'll need to find a way up.
First off, we'll need to find a way up.
Isurd
Let's use that elevator.
We can use this to get up above.
We can use this to get up above.
Isurd
Once we're off the next elevator, we should be right there.
Come on, let's get to it.
Come on, let's get to it.
Remove the boulder[edit]
Isurd
Can anyone hear me? We're here to help!
Lambda Soldier
Commander! We're safe, no casualties here!
Isurd
Looks like there weren't too many working this deep inside. I'm glad everyone's unharmed.
I didn't think there'd be a cave-in here, considering the geology and with this level of structural support.
I suppose the cave wall was weak enough for the monsters lurking there to break through.

Taion
When the excavation uncovered an area of concentrated deposits, the monsters that lived there must've sensed a chance.
Isurd
The ether find is good news, but for now let's get everyone out.
Noah
There might be more monsters. We'd better keep an eye out.
Taion
Noted.
Isurd
We're close to the site of the cave-in. Let's pick up the pace!
Taion
Yes, sir!
Head for the Mine No. 2[edit]
Isurd
That looks somewhat cleaned up.
Noah
I guess riding a Levnis meant they avoided any serious injuries.
Isurd
A little silver lining to a great big cloud. Glad to hear.
Taion... No, all of you. Thanks for your assistance. You saved us.
Taion... No, all of you. Thanks for your assistance. You saved us.
Taion
On the contrary, Commander. We were just following your orders.
Noah
Right. We could only react so fast thanks to your quick thinking.
Isurd
That's about as much as I can do.
The people of Colony Lambda, and you as well, all knew what needed to be done, and due to that, the rescue was a success.
I can't thank you enough.

Noah
You've even managed to secure a nearby ether deposit. I'm a bit jealous!
Isurd
Yes. Actually our troops reported a harvestable ether source recently.
With enough resources in the bank, perhaps the colony can have some peace of mind.

Noah
I hear a fair few colonies are lacking ether.
Isurd
Everyone knows that we're nothing without it.
Everyone in Lambda knows to be prepared to do anything in their power, rather than lose it.
By the way, how are your travels?

Taion
Our...travels?
Isurd
Sometimes I'm envious of folk like you, strong-willed and forging ahead.
Taion
W-well, we're not that-
Lanz
Actually, I think being a commander is a pretty big deal in its own way, eh?
Isurd
Heh... Smoldering Cammuravi and the famed Silvercoat certainly are...
But I'm not that kind of lone pioneering type.
But I'm not that kind of lone pioneering type.
Noah
I think...most people feel the same.
Isurd
I know my own weakness best of anyone.
The day we lost Nimue and you, Taion, I abandoned all thought.
The Consul sensed my weakness, knew I'd pass my responsibility to another, and took merciless advantage of it.

Taion
...Oh.
Isurd
That's one thing I learned from losing.
Ironically, if I hadn't experienced that loss, I... I'd never have come to understand this feeling in me.
Sorry, no one needs to hear all that.
Ah, yes, I owe you all, don't I? Would you come to the Commander's Office later?
I'll be waiting.

Talk with Isurd at the Commander's Office[edit]
Isurd
So. I wanted to thank you all somehow.
Noah
We didn't lend a hand just so you'd give us something in return.
Eunie
Too right, we don't expect any thanks.
Isurd
That may be so, but...
Mio
Oh yeah, did the thing with the Auto-Levs get sorted out?
Isurd
I only just got a report saying they don't know why they won't work...
After seeing that cave-in, I want to investigate thoroughly.
An Auto-Lev is vital for that investigation.
If we can't bring them back here, they can't be of any use to us.

Lanz
Here it comes...
Isurd
I'm not planning on getting you involved for every little thing.
I already can't thank you enough for your help with the cave-in.
I already can't thank you enough for your help with the cave-in.
Tulgrim
Excuse me, Commander. I have a report about the autonomous Levnises.
Isurd
Any new developments?
Tulgrim
Yes, sir. It seems they're operational.
Isurd
I see.
Tulgrim
They wanted you to take a look and judge if they can be used or not, sir.
Isurd
...Roger that.
Well, I'm sorry for bringing you all out here. I have to go.
Well, I'm sorry for bringing you all out here. I have to go.
Taion
I'd like to come along.
Isurd
What do you mean?
Eunie
Ooh, good call! I need some closure on this.
Noah
We won't get in the way. Is that OK?
Isurd
As you wish. Then follow me.
Head for the cave at Pira Bluffs[edit]
Isurd
The Auto-Levs are stationed in the cave at the Pira Bluffs.
Lanz
We don't exactly have what I'd call an open schedule...
Taion
Sorry... I know this is selfish.
Lanz
Nah mate...I don't blame you.
Taion
I may owe Commander Isurd a great debt.
But he's also someone I'd just want to help, even if I didn't owe him.
I think every soldier in Lambda probably feels the same.

Mio
It sounds nice, doesn't it? Feeling an attachment to your colony, to your commander.
Noah
Yeah, definitely.
Isurd
...!
Noah
What happened?!
Isurd
Hey, is everything OK?
Lambda Soldier A
C-Commander...
The Levnises... They started moving all of a sudden...
The Levnises... They started moving all of a sudden...
Isurd
What?
Lambda Soldier A
And then they just came for us!
Isurd
But any autonomous unit should have safeguards to stop it attacking us...
Lambda Soldier B
Aaaaah!
Taion
That came from right up ahead!
Lanz
Huh, lucky thing we tagged along, eh?
Taion
Please stay back, Commander! We can take i-
Isurd
What are you saying, man? I'm fighting.
It'd be a lousy example for the troops if I just stood around and stared!

Noah
Then let's go!
Isurd and Taion's Synergy[edit]
Lanz, in Ouroboros form, attacks one of the Armadillo, slamming it against the wall. The Auto-Lev quickly recovers.
Lanz
Oof, this mudder's tough!
The Auto-Lev attacks Lanz with an energy beam, breaking his Ouroboros form.
Lanz
Can barely put a dent in it!
The Auto-Lev shoots again. Taion protects Lanz with his Mondo while Isurd attacks the Auto-Lev then rushes toward it.
Eunie
Oi! The spark you doin'?!
Isurd
Concentrate on their power sources!
Noah
Where are they?
Isurd
Finish it up now! Taion!
Taion
Right!
Isurd and Taion charge together, attacking the two Auto-Levs. One of them prepares to open fire from behind Isurd.
Lanz
Look out!
Isurd turns around to see the Auto-Lev shoot directly at him. Taion's Mondo push Isurd out of the beam's trajectory, saving him. The Auto-Lev's attack hits the other Armadillo, which explodes.
Lanz
Whoa!
Isurd
Now, Taion!
Open fire!
Open fire!
Taion sends a bird shaped Mondo toward the Auto-Lev, aiming for its weak point. The Armadillo crumbles, destroyed. Lanz, Sena, Mio and Noah stare in awe. Eunie grins.
Eunie
Nice one!
Isurd
Brilliant work, Taion.
The remaining Auto-Lev prepares to open fire. Taion and Isurd rush each to a side, dodge, and combine they attacks in a swarm of Mondo and discs above the Auto-Lev.
Taion
Commander Isurd!
Isurd
It's over.
Isurd's Blade discs ricochet around the energy trap and hit the Auto-Lev directly on its weak point, destroying it.
Auto-Levs defeated[edit]
Isurd
Feels like all I do is ask you to clean up our messes. Thanks again. If there's anything I can do-
Mio
But why did they go berserk?
Tulgrim
It might have been set so they couldn't tell between friend and foe once restarted.
Isurd
You think so?
So you're saying that forcing them to restart overwrote the previous instructions?

Sena
Oh man...
Isurd
I'll have engineering give me the details.
We need them in running order, but they can be dangerous tools, so care is paramount.
Regardless, let me know if there's any way I can thank you.

Noah
We told you before, we didn't do this for any reward.
Isurd
Won't fly. I can't rest easy knowing I'm this deep in someone else's debt.
Noah
If you're going to insist... Do we need anything, guys?
Lanz
Er, lemme think...
Taion
All right, I've got something.
Isurd
Whatever it is, just say the word. We've put you out of your way.
Taion
I want you to fight by our side once more.
Isurd
Say that again?
Taion
I want you to see for yourself that the path I'm walking is the right one, Commander.
Noah
Taion... Has this been bothering you...?
Isurd
I understand.
My position as commander means I probably won't be able to accompany you at all times.
But I pledge myself and Colony Lambda to you, Taion. No, to all of you.
Call me any time you need me. I'll come running no matter what.

Taion
Thank you very much, Commander!
Isurd
I'd better brush up on my skills to keep up with you all.
Colony Lambda will have to keep up with its current developments, too.

Lanz
We can help you with stuff like that, mate.
Isurd
Now look here, I can't ask that of you-
Noah
Look, we're friends now. Nothing wrong with asking your friends for help.
Isurd
...
...Heh. We're friends, you say?
You're incredibly trusting, you know that?
...Heh. We're friends, you say?
You're incredibly trusting, you know that?
Lanz
What's that supposed to mean? We're just helping.
Isurd
I don't mean anything bad by it. If I need you, I'll ask for you.
Taion
Please, call us any time you need.
Isurd
I'm a lucky man to have friends like you, Taion.
