"Can't reach her? Or is she in Gentiane's S09 area? I remember that place..."
Renault suddenly recalled. Wasn't that where Scarecrow was? And 16lab, Persica? Could the person they needed to pick up be M4A1?
Normally, Renault didn't dwell on these matters much, but now, it seemed like the current situation was somewhat similar to the beginning of a plot in a game.
However, he couldn't quite recall the specifics. Just having a vague impression was considered good enough. If it weren't for hearing the name Persica, which sounded exactly like a pressure unit, he might not have remembered it at all.
"Wait, if we can't contact her, then picking her up becomes a search and rescue mission. Helian, are you trying to haggle?"
"No, of course not. Based on the evacuation route of the mission, she is currently within the S09 jurisdiction. If nothing goes wrong, she should be easy to find."
"Evacuation route? Can that even be fixed?"
Judging positions based on evacuation routes was absurd. It would be one thing if there were no pursuers, but if there were enemies chasing behind, following the evacuation route would be questionable.
"We'll have Gentiane assist in the search on her end as well. The data on that doll is crucial, so..."
"Sorry, but if it's a search and rescue mission, who knows how long it will take? I don't want to take on a time-consuming task like that."
Well, it's not that he doesn't feel like it.
It's plain and simple...
They would need to pay more.
"Alright, let the commander in charge of the S09 jurisdiction handle the search for now. Since they're already within the jurisdiction, it wouldn't be a problem for the members of AR Team to take Griffin's helicopter back after they arrive at the commander's base."
Before Helian could speak, Persica took over the conversation and even hung up as soon as she finished speaking.
Seeing the holographic image disappear from her desk, Helian was stunned...
This woman? Why was she so clueless?
"Um, sorry, Renault, it seems like this commission is off." After being dazed for a while, Helian awkwardly said to Renault.
"No problem, I'm quite busy with work lately. Just let me know when there's another commission." Renault waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Alright, I'll contact you in a few days." Helian sighed and hung up the phone somewhat reluctantly.
Putting away his phone, Renault scratched his chin. Although he had thought about going to see them, after all, AR Team was well-known, and it wouldn't hurt to meet them if he had the chance.
Unfortunately, it seemed like there wouldn't be that opportunity now. Compared to running over to see a few dolls he didn't know, Renault would prefer to tinker with his spaceship at home.
And most likely, nothing would happen to the members of AR Team. If there were any issues, it would probably be Agent, who seemed to have been quite badly beaten by AR Team.
After all, as famous antagonists in the game, the elite dolls from Sangvis Ferri had been pounded one by one by AR Team and Griffin.
"Got another commission?" Seeing Renault coming down from the elevator, RFB looked up and asked.
"No, they didn't fancy us." Renault said, jumping back into the SCV, intending to continue his work.
"Oh? Someone didn't fancy Commander?" RFB was surprised. It was the first time she had heard Renault say someone didn't fancy them.
Who was this person? So arrogant? Even Commander Renault didn't catch their eye?
"Yeah, some sloppy woman."
That woman Persica probably thought there was nothing remarkable about them. After all, except for Griffin, every other security contractor was pretty much the same, with combat capabilities far from impressive.
"Sloppy?" Hearing this word, RFB curiously tilted her head, but seeing Renault didn't continue, she dropped it. After all, she didn't have the inclination to delve into these matters.
"Yeah, she looked like she just rolled out of bed, probably from some lab."
"Alright, Commander, are we going to move everyone onto the ship in the future?" Looking at the huge spaceship hull in front of her, RFB voiced the question she had been pondering.
"More or less. We probably won't move until this place is done. And now, with only half, or even a quarter of the spaceship's construction completed, it will be a long time before we all move aboard."
"Why the sudden interest in the spaceship today?"
"I was just thinking, if we all move aboard in the future, can we go wherever we want? Like to the beach or something?" RFB asked, immediately picturing the sunny beaches from the game.
Even though the world was on the brink of collapse due to the irregular flow of collapse particles, there were still many places that remained clean and pristine.
Places like the beaches RFB mentioned were still open to the public, and there were countless islands with good environments.
Once Renault finished building his spaceship, they could go wherever they wanted, right?
She had already planned it out: first, deserted beaches, then hot springs, and finally, some famous tourist destinations!
"Hmm? Why so interested in the spaceship all of a sudden today? Want to lend a hand?" Hearing RFB's words, Renault was a bit puzzled.
After all, RFB usually kept her head down, playing games quietly. Why was she suddenly interested in his affairs today?
"Well, considering we see these beautiful scenery in the game every day, I occasionally want to see what those real scenes are like." RFB said, looking at the screen of her gaming machine.
Upon hearing RFB's words, Renault thought of the weather around their factory area. It was never sunny since they arrived here, with collapse particle clouds rolling in the sky almost all the time.
Indeed, even if they were dolls, living in such a depressing environment for a long time would cause problems.
He just didn't expect RFB, who wasn't very enthusiastic about the outside world, to suddenly want to go see those beautiful places.
"Alright, you go check the places. After our spaceship is completed, we'll go on vacation directly."
Saying this, Renault was about to resume welding work when his phone rang again.
However, this time, the phone didn't ring incessantly; instead, it rang a few times before quieting down.
Has Helian become smart? Or did she recognize someone?
Unlikely. After all, Persica had just declined the offer. There was no reason for Helian to call back so soon.
With some doubt, Renault took out his phone and saw clearly on the caller ID who was calling this time.
