[Voice: Screw filters. They're useless as far as Crowe's concerned anymore.

He speaks quickly. It's obvious he's pretty rattled.]

Do not go near them. Do not touch them. Just... just please, stay out of their way. Fighting a-against them will probably have no affect.


Bunkers... Mr. Saeba was working on those, wasn't he? We... I'm going to say we should get back to that.



Has... has anyone checked on Miss Susan...?

[Action: Crowe will be found tearing apart his garage, looking for metal. Before he was droned, Ryo Saeba had been collecting scrap metal to help build bunkers, and Crowe had been helping him. Now he regrets ever stopping. He's taken what he collected and has brought it down to the basement of his home, and it's at that point he has no idea what he's doing. His housemates will find him sitting there with his supplies, head in his hands, thinking.]

They were in a place called Westport. A few months ago. To make a long story short, another town opened up for a bit and some people got trapped there. I-It was destroyed, burnt out, almost nothing left. I didn't get trapped there thankfully, but, I knew a lot of people who were. The hazmat men came out, spraying poison gas into the air, killing off people slowly... those that didn't succumb to the gas they hunted and killed.

...I see. [This is valuable information, but she'd be lying if she didn't admit that it twisted her gut to hear how these men systematically exterminated everyone who had the misfortune of being trapped in Westport.] From what I have seen so far, there is a group of no more than fifteen or so of these men patrolling Mayfield, but we cannot assume that there aren't others. Do you think they could outnumber us?

I-I don't know, really. More might show up. I have a feeling that if they don't find Smirnov, and soon, then something similar to Westport might happen.

Have you seen him?

He is important enough that they are willing to slaughter us in order to find him. If they managed to capture him, this would end....but who knows what they might do to him.

I only saw him briefly the other night. He disappeared before I could speak with him. What about you?
