Dialogue
9S: "You're 2B, right?

''My name's 9S. I'm here to provide support."''

2B: "Copy that."

9S: "Soooo, was that big ol' buzzsaw the Goliath you came here to take out?"

2B: "No. Just another defensive system."

9S: "Oh. Well, uh...I guess we have to find the target then, huh?

I've got a flight unit, so I'll take a look around the perimeter."

2B: "All right. I'll work my way inside from the ground."

9S: "2B? Uh, ma'am?"

2B: "What is it?"

9S: "I was going to send you the map data I collected earlier."

2B: "Do it."

Pod 042: "Exit confirmed closed."

2B: "So open it."

Pod 042: "Negative. Nearby enemies are jamming our signal."

2B: "Nothing's ever easy..."

9S: "You know, ma'am, I'm glad you're here."

2B: "Why?"

9S: "Scanners like me mostly work alone. Scouting out enemy lines and all that?

''I don't usually get a partner. It's kind of fun!"''

2B: "...Emotions are prohibited."

9S: "S-sorry, ma'am!"

2B: "And another thing...

Stop calling me "ma'am""

9S: "Huh?"

2B: "It's unnecessary."

9S: "All right, then. 2B it is!"

Pod 042: "Analysis: This elevator's controls are locked and cannot be used."

2B: "This place sure is big."

9S: "I guess humans used to use it as a weapons factory.

But now it's just crawling with machines.

The enemy seems to have repurposed the facility to increase their overall machine production."

2B: "So if we don't destroy it, they'll just keep coming."

2B: "...What?"

9S: "It's just accessing random nonsensical data from the old world.

There's no actual meaning behind anything machines do."

Pod 042: "Analysis: This elevator's controls are locked and cannot be used."

Pod 042: "Alert: Bulletproof apparatus detected on enemies.

Close-range combat is advised."

2B: "I know."

2B: "I surveyed the entire factory, but couldn't find anything resembling our target."

9S: "Maybe they ...I dunno. Moved it somewhere?"

2B: "Is that...?"

9S: "You mean the birds?

''Yeah, there's more plants and animals here than there used to be. Probably because the environment's changed."''

9S: "There should be another facility across that bridge.

It's a bit of a hike, but should we check it out?

''It's not like Command to get a location wrong. I guess even they get bad intel from time to time, huh?"''

2B: "Hmm.

I wouldn't bet on that."
