Mission dialogue · 9 lines
Mission start· beat 1
- Lieutenant Taro
- Hold formation, Hikari. Fort Delta doesn't fall to anger. It falls to patience — mine's older than yours.
- Lieutenant Hikari
- Patience is what got the last wave killed, old man. We punch through the western casements or we die in the queue like everyone else.
- Lieutenant Taro
- Ha! There's the student I trained. Fine — your plan, my lead. And if it goes wrong, you fly home and you don't look back. Swear it.
- Lieutenant Hikari
- ...I swear it. Don't make me keep it.
After floor 6· beat 2
- Lieutenant Hikari
- TARO! No no no — eject, EJECT—
- Lieutenant Taro
- STATIC: ...frame's done, kid. Reactor's holding just long enough. You taught an old man to hope again. Now keep your damn promise.
- Lieutenant Hikari
- ...
- PILOT
- Hikari. He's gone. He bought us the corridor — don't waste it. Fly.
- Lieutenant Hikari
- ...Logging final valor citation: Lieutenant Taro, shield of Aurora. I'll keep the promise, old man. I hate you for making me.

- Sergeant Sakura
- Lieutenant Taro says patience. Lieutenant Hikari says patience got the last wave killed. I say both of you pick a plan before I do it for you.
- PILOT
- For what it is worth, Sakura, they usually land on something workable by the third argument.
- Sergeant Sakura
- this IS the third argument
After floor 3· beat 2
- Major Kenji
- Friendly fire incident on the eastern flank. Sgt. Kim is not responding.
- Ensign Asami
- kenji that grid was OURS, how does friendly fire happen on OUR grid
- Major Kenji
- I am pulling the logs myself, Ensign. Nobody speculates until I have an answer.
- Lieutenant Nakamura
- A coordinate error at that range is a one-in-thousands event, Major. Check the relay chain, not just the gunner. Yusuke would have said the same thing.
After floor 6· beat 3
- Sergeant Sakura
- The western casements are quiet now. Whatever happened up there, Lieutenant Hikari is not answering hails.
- Ensign Asami
- give her time sakura. some things you do not push.
