Natsuno Minami:
Look at it… It’s like a Tripod.
Tomi Kisaragi:
Oh, that’s a Hi-Quad. I just fought one earlier.
It’s basically just a huge crane, though, right?
Juro Kurabe:
Don’t underestimate it. That thing’s set with all kinds of weapons and defensive devices.
The plasma cannon’s what you need to watch out for. Sentinel armor doesn’t stand a chance against it.
Natsuo Minami:
But it’s just a big dumb crane! Why’d they put all the weapons on it?
Juro Kurabe:
Once they started facing resistance, they updated their designs. Trying to match our own force.
Tomi Kisaragi:
Wait, you mean those things only have weapons because the Sentinels showed up?
Juro Kurabe:
Maybe, but we can still take them down… At least, we probably can…
Megumi Yakushiji
Keep it together. Everything will work out.
Tomi Kisaragi:
How do you know that, Megumi…?
Natsuo Minami:
They're coming. Be careful.
We're toast if we don't win here, right? So... let's get out there and fight back.
Renya Gouto:
Aegis activation confirmed.
Yuki Takamiya:
Dammit, the whole city’s on fire…
Natsuo Minami:
Is that how this is gonna go? Whether we win or lose, we’re ruining thousands of people’s lives?
Renya Gouto:
We have evacuation measures in place, but they're far from perfect. And the efforts still lack direction.
We tried to reach out to governments and financial institutions through Shikishima… for all the good that did.
Tomi Kisaragi:
What’re we gonna do, not fight back? This is all we can do if we want to save the world from these creeps.
We’ve got kaiju signals popping up nearby another terminal…
Yuki Takamiya:
We got tons of civilians over there, thanks to all the highways being backed up.
Tomi Kisaragi:
Come on, Miwako… Please tell me you didn’t take a bus…
Hey, maybe we could send a drone out to check on Miwako?
Natsuno Minami:
On it. Worth a shot, anyway…
Hope my mom and dad made it out. I told them exactly what to do…
