Everyone properly suited up, let's get on with things.
Roufas: That's right. Ever since that last incident, Yaruto was relieved of duty. Now, a new warden is in command of the base. Joker still hasn't given up. He's in contact with a new commander. Trinity must know where Cube is.
I'd be happy if they'd tell me
what Cube is.
Roufas: Your familiarity with the base makes you the most qualified for this mission.
Emelia: All right. I'll do it.
Roufas: That was easy.
Emelia:
If I don't, you have a habit of drugging me and selling me anyway It seemed reasonable
, more reasonable that roofies and a harem outfit. I'll try my best
not to fucking strangle you.
Roufas: We're counting on you. In the meantime, the rest of us will prepare for the final attack against Joker. Good luck.
Commando Emelia is supposed to be better with guns than any other outfit, but instead it's just another outfit that doesn't do anything.
This guy's a tough fight, like the Unicorn before it. But now Emelia is alone and without any mec-wrecking instant-win moves. So we have to go around. It's a schlep and Trinity Base is easy to get lost in.
But we find the commander's room again anyway.
Commander: He's gone.
Emelia: Where?
Commander: Do you know you're interrogating the commander of Trinity Base?
Emelia: So, you're the new commander? Even better, where is Joker?
Emelia.
Emelia, Emelia, Emelia. He's in the commander's room. He's behind the commander's desk. He's not at all panicked by a random blonde with a gun (for whatever reason) storming into his office.
Yes he is the new commander of Lambda Base Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ you are stupidCommander: He went to get Cube.
Emelia: You sold him the information! Tell me where I'll find him.
Commander: Relax, lady. It will take him some time to decipher the code. Besides, I know exactly where he's headed... Yorkland.
Emelia: The Cube is in Yorkland?
Commander: There is an old chapel in the Yorkland mountains. That's where it's supposed to be.
Emelia: Why are you telling me all this? Is this some kind of trap?
...
...
...
Commander: Well, frankly we feel this Joker character is getting a little too dangerous. We want Gradius to get rid of him.
Emelia: I've got so many questions.
Commander: Like I said, relax and put the gun down, lady.
Emelia: First, what's Cube?
GOOD FUCKING QUESTIONCommander: I can't answer that. Cube is Trinity's best kept secret.
YOU DICKEmelia: That's why you want us to get rid of him? Second, who is Joker?
Commander: I bet you know him better than we do, Miss Emelia.
Ominous! and stupid.Emelia: How did you know my name? What did you mean by that?
Commander: One question at a time. Before I was promoted to commander here, I was in charge of security. I know a lot about Gradius.
Another explosion rocks the screen! (Trust me on this one too)
Reactor. All personnel must evacuate immediately.Not if we can have another long, drawn-out, pointless conversation that actually doesn't tell me anything!
There is something wrong with the power reactor at Trinity. Evacuate, I repeat, evacuate immediately."Your boss is Roger?"
Commander: Yes, this is the famous angel of Yorkland legend.
Emelia: Why are you giving me this?
Commander: Long ago, when I was at your age, I also fought for ideals with my buddies. Anyway, me and two of my pals fell in love with this beautiful woman. She was as pure as the first snow of winter. I always planned on giving this to her someday.
Emelia: Why didn't you?
Commander: Because she married one of my best pals. I respected him. So, I decided to conceal my feelings for her forever. But the broach sure brought me luck. After all, I ended up becoming the commander of Trinity Base, didn't I?
Emelia: You sure you want to give me this?
Commander: It'd be better if someone like you wore it. It'll look lovely on you.
Emelia: Thanks. This...
Commander: Angel Broach.
Emelia: I'll take care of it.
See? Long and pointless.
Emelia finally gets around to getting the hell out of the base.
Another explosion drowns out his response. Emelia actually says "I can't hear you!" here, but the dialog balloons are only on the screen for a split-second and I messed up the timing.
When I said "Roufas forgot about you" before, did you think that was a joke?
Liza: Yeah, that's the famous angel of Yorkland legend.
Roufas: His name is Mondo. He worked for Yaruto for years. He was practically in charge of Trinity's patrol. I can describe him in 3 words: cold, cruel, and efficient. The guy's as sharp as a razor. He gave us a lot of trouble when he ran the patrol. Thank God we don't have to deal with him anymore.
Emelia: Really.
God this update is full of words.
I'm outta here.
