@Meunière
...some of the staff got so bummed, we thought about giving up on everything.

That was when we decided that our job was always gonna be to support you and Mash, come hell or high water.

@Goredolf
It's time to decide on our next mission objective!
[k]
[charaFace E 13]
@Goredolf
Shortly after we entered the Seventh Lostbelt, we were attacked by a mysterious light and forced to make an emergency landing.
[k]
@Goredolf
During that attack, [%1] and Mash fell out of the ship and have been operating on their own...
[k]
@Goredolf
...but now, they have successfully rejoined our team here at the Storm Border. Well done, you two.
[k]
@Goredolf
Unfortunately, in the time it took them to arrive, we encountered a mysterious armed militia called the ocelomeh, apparently led by a man named Izcalli.
[k]
@Goredolf
They were also joined by an unidentified arms dealer who Izcalli called “Tezcatlipoca.”
[k]
[charaFace E 0]
@Goredolf
...Truth be told, we can't determine at this point whether he truly is the god Tezcatlipoca from Aztec mythology.
[k]
[charaFace E 11]
@Goredolf
However! Whoever he is, we know he's our enemy, and an enemy of Proper Human History!
[k]
@Goredolf
And in another unfortunate turn of events, the enemy forces have abducted key members of our team!
[k]
[charaFace E 14]
@Goredolf
So, our next mission's team will consist of Master[sr][%1], field op Mash Kyrielight, Habetrot...
[k]
@Goredolf
...and our newly acquired local allies Tepeu, the For[line 2]U-Olga Marie, Rasputin, and Koyanskaya.
[k]
@Goredolf
Your mission is to rescue the personnel who were abducted from Chaldea.
[k]
@Goredolf
Now go get Da Vinci, Sion, Kadoc, and Nemo!
[k]
@Goredolf
Your destination is the ocelomeh's capital, México City!
[k]
?1:Yes, sir!
?2:Huh? You seem weirdly well-informed about Mictlān, director.
[charaFace E 1]
@Goredolf
Why, there's nothing weird about it. Who do you think I am? I was always interested in the Meluastea Department back at the Clock Tower.
