Ruins, Outskirts of the Gray Tower
As the mutated Red Tide assaults the outer defense of the Gray Tower, Aya the medical robot sprints toward the Church of Machina, its tiny mechanical legs scurrying frantically as it carries a wailing semi-awakened mechanoid on its back.
Following Nanami's orders to return and gather her friends, The Star feels flustered. She stammers in response to her friends' calls.
G-got it! Aya! This way!
Urgh! Uuurgh!
The Star's enhanced visual module whirs to life in her goggles as it scans intently for a shorter path.
Sage is on her way to saving us now...
Urgh! Uuurgh!
Stupid Aya! The right way is here!
Ugh...
The Star's optical guidance proves faulty as a towering wall suddenly looms before them.
Oh, n-no—
Uuuurrrrggghhh!
I-I know I screwed up!
B-O-O-M!
Sage, there's a path this way...
Ta-da! Now this is how Nanami makes an entrance!
S-Sage!
Don't worry! Nanami is here to save the day!
