Searching the Battlefield (HDD)

(Upon starting the commission)

Trigger: We've arrived at the coordinates Ray provided. She's so kind.

(Cross the bridge)

Trigger: Suspicious Ether fluctuations over there!

(Approach the soldiers)

Enemy 1: Bro! We're under attack!

Enemy 2: I—I—I'll go alert the others!

Enemy 1: Bro? Bro...

Trigger: Pity, I can't see how pathetic you are.

(Approach the abandoned soldier)

Trigger subdues and captures an enemy—

Captured Enemy: D—Don't hit me! You're from the Defense Force, a soldier of the people! You can't just go dishing out vigilante justice, can you?

Trigger: I don't need to get my hands dirty. I just need to leave you in a place where no one can find you and remove your protective gear. It'll be the corruption here that takes your life.

Captured Enemy: Fine, I'll tell you everything! You're looking for that woman, right?

Captured Enemy: The one wearing a military uniform like yours, with that... intriguing face. The others already restrained her, and they took her that way.

Trigger: Is that so... Thank you for your cooperation.

Trigger slams the butt of her gun hard against the enemy's mask.

Uggghhhhhhhhhhhh—!!!"
The fake soldier's wailing doesn't save him from being forcefully put to sleep. Sending him into peaceful oblivion was an act of mercy.

(Reach the marked location)

Trigger: That's... Soldier 11?!

(Approach Soldier 11)

(By the fissure, an unconscious Soldier 11 is surrounded by soldiers)

Imposing Soldier: Take out that sniper.

Trigger: I won't let you take her!

(Defeat all enemies)

Amidst all the Etheric turbulence, Trigger catches sight of Soldier 11.
However, something feels different. Soldier 11 is not acting like her usual self...

Trigger: Soldier 11! No. Damn it! You should have been no match for her... What did you do?

Defense Force Soldier Maintaining Order: Ah, the blind sniper... So, you actually can see?

Trigger: Release her. Or else, you'll have my bullets to answer to.

Defense Force Soldier Maintaining Order: Your friend is beyond help, sniper.

Defense Force Soldier Maintaining Order: ...There's no stopping Silver's revival.

Just as Trigger fires a shot, the enemy, vanishes into a fissure with Soldier 11 in his arms.
More enemies begin closing in, and by the time Trigger finishes dealing with them, the fissure has already closed...

Trigger: Damn you...

Trigger: "Silver's revival"... What did he mean by that?
