Chapter 3 - Stage 6

Opening

Thanks to Maries quick response, we were able to retreat safely.
The uneasy part is that the iron-bugs were still overwhelming.
They went inside and made us retreat easily.
I am anxious.
For now I need to listen Constantia report.

Constantia: Ill start the report.
            The enemies do not chased us when we retreated.
            It seems that their objective was to re-enter the facility.
            We have set up on the pass that leads to the entrance.
            If we lose this position, we will need to re-enter the test site.
            Because we would have to climb the hill again.
            No further retreat is desirable.
            We have got some minor attacks in this pass, but...
            We dont know when is going to be a full-scale attack...
Griffon: Im back! Iron-bugs are rushing in!
         There arent many but some of them are weird.
         We have to send a squad!
         If we dont we are going to the position!

I kept thinking while hearing Griffon and Constantia requests.
What is the reason they are attacking us now?

Griffon: What are you thinking human?! We are in a hurry right now...

Lets not waste much time. We have to stop their attack...
Everyone get ready for the sortie!
We wont lose the position in the pass...!

Ending

LRL: Ugh... Is this the end? What was that terrifying monster?
Griffon: It looks like they have retreated to the back.
         Im worried now...
         Wouldnt it better to contact Aeda?
Constantia: True. Im still glad the not all the iron-bugs that were inside came out.

The fierce offence and defence settled down, and the bioloids finally got time to rest.
Griffon was worried, with that monster on their backs.
What was that thing? Why didnt that monster attack us?
Since you saw those white parts, its certain that its an advanced iron-bug...

Griffon: At least the point is secured.
         If not, we all would be dead, right?

It seems that the iron-bug didnt want to fight us.
The quickest way for an iron-bug to get rid of us is just kill.
But that thing avoided fighting.
If they are not fighting it means they are not winning anything by doing it.
Perhaps... it has something to do with the thing on its back?
There was a possibility to damage it during the battle...
Suddenly all their force go to to attack us at the site...
Maybe it was to make an opening...

Griffon: What do you mean it couldnt fight?

Lets just chase that iron-bug.

Constantia: But Master... everyone is tired...

Should I give up in this? My anxiety persists.
But I cant force myself to put the girls in danger...
Bring the injured girls to the submarine for now.

Constantia: Yes! Thank you Master! We will return soon.

If you cant choose the best plan at the moment you have to choose the second best plan.
Lets collect the information and organise it for the time being.
I cant remember anything about that iron-bug... But I need to...
Then I will be able to come up with the next strategy...
