Greyfield: WELL! Don't just stand there, fool! Give me your report!	Sigismundo: How are things on the battlefront?
Davis: Th-thanks to the brave effort of all our units, we crushed the hated Lazurians. Brenner's Wolves fought particularly well. It was only due to their--	Cole: Thanks to the efforts of all our units, we are managing to repel the Zephyrian threat. Captain O'Brian and his Legion have fought bravely and we couldn't have done it without...
Greyfield: SILENCE! I did not summon you before me to hear you sing that damn fool's praises! Where is the 12th Battalion now?	Sigismundo: I didn't call you here to listen to you sing O'Brian's praises! Where are the 12th Independent Legion now?
Davis: On...on the coast, Admiral Greyfield. L-l-looking for the enemy...	Cole: The Shard Coast, looking for the enemy...
Greyfield: Send units to assist them. Make it clear that Admiral Greyfield is in command! Brenner will obey my orders to the letter during the next battle!	Sigismundo: Send units to assist them. But I want to make it clear to O'Brian that I am in control. He will obey my orders to the letter during the next battle...
Davis: B-but, Admiral...	Cole: B-but, Admiral...
Greyfield: Do you question me, Davis? Armies need discipline and leadership, and I provide these things! Rogue elements like these...Wolves of Brenner's... must be brought to heel.	Sigismundo: An army needs discipline. Don't you agree, Cole? Rogue elements like O'Brians Legion must be brought under our tight control.
Davis: Y-yes, sir! Absolutely right, Admiral. I'll... I'll get right on it.	Cole: Y-yes, sir! You're absolutely right...

Will: Captain, we have completed the capture of the port. We can now produce naval units!	Ed: Captain, we have completed the capture of the port. Now we can produce naval units here!
Brenner: Well done, Will. But the enemy possesses ports also. This may be a long battle.	O'Brian: Good work. But the enemy possesses ports too. This will be a long battle.
Lin: Greyfield has sent a token amount of funds and military support. But I think it's mostly for show. I doubt he really supports the 12th Battalion. We'd better make plans to secure our own source of funds and materials.	Lin: We have received military support and some funds from Admiral Sigismundo... But I think it is mostly for show. I doubt he really supports the Legion... That's why we can't rely on hand-outs. We need to secure our own funds...
Brenner: Got it. Thanks, Lin. All units! Spread out and capture as many neutral bases as you can!	O'Brian: Right. Capture neutral bases and don't let the enemy take them from us!
Lin: That's a carrier. We can use carriers to build seaplanes. Seaplanes will provide our air force with a significant boost.	Lin: Carriers can produce Ship Planes. Produce Ship Planes to give your air force a significant boost.
Greyfield: Advance, my New Rubinelle Army! Failure will not be tolerated! Prove yourselves worthy of my glorious leadership! Report on the units in Brenner's group. Where does their strength lie? (Random Unit name)Battleships? Understood. Ensure you relay my orders tomorrow!	Sigismundo: New Laurentian Army, advance! Failure will not be tolerated! Prove yourselves worthy of my glorious leadership! Report on the units in O'Brian's Legion. In which units does their strength lie? (Random Unit name)Infantry units? Understood. Ensure you relay my orders tomorrow...
NRA Guard: Captain Brenner! We're receiving orders from Admiral Greyfield! He says they must be obeyed under penalty of death, sir!	NLA Guard: Captain O'Brian! Orders from Admiral Sigismundo... Your Independent Legion must obey all of his orders during the battle...
Brenner: What?! This is our battle! What does that idiot think he's doing?	O'Brian: What?! This is our battle! Why is he interfering?!
NRA Guard: Sorry, sir! But I'm just the messenger! Please do what he says, sir! I have a wife and kids!	NLA Guard: I am simply communicating the Admiral's express wishes... If you don't obey his orders, he will blame me for neglecting my duty...
Will: Wait...the penalty of death applies to you? An enlisted man?!	Ed: So what you're saying is that if we don't follow his orders, you will be...
Brenner: I think it applies to all of us, Will. There's no choice. The admiral clearly doesn't like me very much.	O'Brian: ...Executed. It looks like we don't have a choice. The Admiral clearly doesn't like me...
Will: This is my fault, Captain. I was disrespectful to the admiral...	Ed: No, Captain. It's all my fault! I showed disloyalty to the Admiral...
Brenner: Don't blame yourself, Will. Things can't be changed now. I could risk my own neck, but I won't endanger the lives of my men. We'll follow his orders. ...No matter how crazy they are.	O'Brian: Ed, don't blame yourself. We must accept things as they are. We must obey Sigismundo's orders, and ensure the safety of our troops!
Will: Yes, sir!	Ed: Yes, Captain!
Greyfield: All (Previously mentioned unit) Battleships, halt! Don't move an inch without my leave!	Sigismundo: (Previously mentioned unit) Infantry units remain stationary! Don't move an inch without my say so!
Gage: The enemy units are behaving oddly.	Trak: Some of the enemy units are behaving in an odd manner...
Tasha: Great! Maybe there's a problem in the ranks!	Zadia: Does that mean there is disunity in the enemy ranks?
Gage: I wouldn't want to speculate. Let's just finish the job at hand.	Trak: It's difficult to say. But our job is not to speculate about this or that... We simply have to carry out the orders we have been given...
Will: Attention, Lazurian commanders! Can anyone hear me?	Ed: I want to speak to the Zephyrian Commander. Can you hear me?
Gage: ...	Trak: ... ... ... ...
Will: I just hear static... Is this dumb thing broken?	Ed: I can't hear anything... But the lines of communication should be open...
Gage: ...What do you want?	Trak: ... ... ... ... What do you want?
Will: Hey! You heard me!	Ed: Y-You're there! You heard me!
Gage: I'm switching the intercom off now.	Trak: I'm switching the intercom off now...
Will: Wait! Please, hold on! I have to talk to you! I need to know why the Lazurians started this war again!	Ed: Wait a second! I have to talk to you! Why did the Zephyrians start this war again? I have to know!
Gage: I obey orders. I don't engage in policy discussions.	Trak: I am a soldier. My job is to obey orders.
Will: Orders? But Lazuria is destroyed! Both of our nations are in ruins, and yet we're still at war! Orders don't matter. We don't have a reason to fight.	Ed: Orders? But Zephyrus is destroyed! Neither of our nations exist now, yet we are still at war?! Whatever orders you are following there is still no reason to fight.
Gage: ... ... ... ...	Trak: ... ... ... ...
Will: Surely you thought about this! You must know this war is pointless!	Ed: You must have thought about this! You must know this war is pointless!
Gage: That's not my concern. Soldiers follow orders, not their hearts. If soldiers acted as they pleased, armies would collapse. We're tools of the government. They tell us what to do, and we--	Trak: It's not my job to decide whether something is or isn't pointless. We are not paid to think... If every soldier did what they thought was best, an army would collapse... An army is nothing more than a tool which the government uses...
Will: But there IS no government now! I mean, not a real one!	Ed: But there is no government now! Why are you obeying orders?!
Gage: Not my problem.	Trak: It is not my job to think about that.
NRA Guard: Captain? I have more orders from Admiral Greyfield.	NLA Guard: Guard: I have been given a new order from Admiral Sigismundo to relay to you...
Brenner: ...Not again! This idiot is risking all of our lives!	O'Brian: ...Not again! Why is he telling us not to move units during a battle. He's risking our lives!
Will: Captain, we can do it anyway! Brenner's Wolves won't be beaten by the Lazurians OR Greyfield!	Ed: Captain, we can do it! Our Legion will not be beaten by the Zephyrians. Or by Sigismundo...
Rubinelle: Captain, he's right! We can win this!	Laurentian: Captain, he's right! We can win this!

End of Chapter#

US	Europe
NRA Guard: Admiral Greyfield! Brenner's Wolves have won the day! Er...I mean... It was probably due to your leadership, s-sir!	NLA Guard: Admiral Sigismundo, the Independent Legion were again victorious. They obeyed your orders and were able to repel the Zephyrian forces...
Greyfield: ...I see.	Sigismundo: Grrrr... I see...
NRA Guard: A-Admiral? You're not...upset at our victory, are you?	NLA Guard: Admiral? You seem displeased...
Greyfield: No! Of course not! How dare you! I am merely displeased Brenner allowed the Lazurians to escape. Until they are wiped from the face of the planet, we will know no peace...	Sigismundo: Er... No, no - I am only displeased that the Zephyrians remain at large. Until they are wiped from the face of the planet, we will know no peace...
Civilian: Oh! Oh golly, it's you!	Civilian: It's you! You've returned!
Isabella: I'm... I'm sorry. Do you know me?	Catleia: What do you mean?! Wh-Who are you?
Civilian: Oh, I doubt you'd be remembering me. I used to run the bakery in this city, don'cha know!	Civilian: Ah, perhaps you don't remember me. I used to run the bakery in the city that once stood near here...
Isabella: Oh... I'm...I'm sorry. I can't really remember anything.	Catleia: I-I'm sorry... I am afraid I don't remember anything...
Will: Wait! You know Isabella? She's lost her memory. Anything you can tell us about her would be a big help.	Ed: Wait! You know her?! You know Catleia?! Tell me! She has lost her memory. Maybe you could tell us who she is...
Civilian: Well, that's just a shame, it is! But I'm afraid I won't be of much use t'ya. I only saw this young lady and her family a few times. Never bought m'pies, don'cha know!	Civilian: She lost her memory? I'm sorry to hear that. But I'm afraid I won't be much use to you... I just saw this girl and her family a few times in the street...
Will: She has a family?	Ed: Family...?
Civilian: Oh yah! Had herself a couple'a sisters and a brother, if I'm rememberin' rightly.	Civilian: I seem to remember you had an older sister, a younger sister...and a brother!
Isabella: ...I had a family?	Catleia: Brother...? Sisters...? Can it be true?
Will: Do you know their names? Or where they are now?	Ed: Do you know anything about her brother and sisters - their names or whereabouts?
Civilian: Oh no! I don't think anyone here will be tellin' ya any of that. Not quite sure the best way to tell ya this, but... Ya had a bit of a creepy family, if I remember rightly. Folks were scared of 'em.	Civilian: I don't think anyone here will know that. I'm not sure what the best way to tell you this is but... Everyone was... Everyone was frightened of your family...
Isabella: Why?	Catleia: Frightened?! But why?
Civilian: Oh, I don't wanna be talkin' poorly about someone's family! Wouldn't be right.	Civilian: Ummm... It's difficult to say this to your face, but it's just...
Isabella: No! Please tell me! I want to know!	Catleia: Tell me! I want to know! I remember nothing! You have to tell me...
Civilian: Yah well, we had all kinds of strange rumors flying about! Folks said your family wasn't human! Said they were monsters and the like! ...Don'cha know.	Civilian: Well, there were all sorts of strange rumours flying about... People said that the four of you were... ...not human! They said you were monsters!
Isabella: That's...horrible.	Catleia: ...Monsters?!
Civilian: Oh golly, now I gone and done it! But yah, there were a buncha rumors! Folks said that a buncha tough guys caused ya trouble and then died all mysterious-like! And some folks said that if ya got near weapons, they'd explode and such!	Civilian: Please don't take it to heart! But there were other rumours... I heard that a bunch of tough guys caused you trouble...and they all died mysteriously. I heard that if you came close to weapons, they might be accidentally triggered...
Isabella: ...	Catleia: ... ... ... ...
Civilian: But they're just rumors, yah? Don'cha be payin' these things no mind.	Civilian: Look, these are only rumours... I'm sure there's no truth in them!
Isabella: Will...	Catleia: ... ... ... ...
Will: Listen, Isabella, I'm sure that--	Ed: Catleia...
Isabella: Who am I? What am I? What if I did terrible things and don't remember it...?	Catleia: Ed! Tell me! Who on Earth am I?!

US	Europe
Gage: Clearly the enemy had a method to their madness. We have no choice. We must retreat.	Trak: The Laurentians seemed to be moving their troops in an odd manner...
