Ash: You're surrounded. Drop your weapons.
We don't want any more needless bloodshed.

Count Claymore: You mean that, don't you?

Ash: Of course I do.

Young Man: Don't listen Count! He's a blood drinking devil!

Count Claymore: But if we continue, everyone will die.

Other Young Man: Excuse me, Count...
But how can you trust these soldiers that just slaughtered us?

Count Claymore: Peace needs to begin somewhere.
Also, this man seems different than those crimson murderers.
I'll give him a chance.

Count Claymore: We surrender.

Ash: I'm Ash Lambert. Ishtarian Security Force.
Thank you for your quick compliance.

Count Claymore: My name is Roland Claymore. This riot is
my responsibility. Please do not blame anyone else.

Ash: We have laws here. It's not for me to decide...
But I will report that you offered us no resistance.

Kane: That's enough! Stop right there!

Ash: The Crimson Guards have come back.

Kane: Nice job for a bunch of weaklings like you!
But we'll assume control from this point on!
Or maybe the son of a traitor wants to take credit for this?

Ash: I want no credit. Do as you like.

Kane: Thank you. I will... Which one is Claymore?

Count Claymore: I am...

Kane: Good. Come over here.

Kane: I have no need for the others. Kill them!

Count Claymore: What have you done?!

Diego: Murderer...

Clint: I won't forget this!

Ash: Kane you bastard!!!!

Kane: So the traitor finally shows his colors?
Good! I've wanted to cross swords with you for a long time!

Clive: Stop it you two!

Ash: Commander Beckett!

Clive: Stop! You're both sworn to defend this country!

Kane: Leave us be old man!

Clive: You had best watch that mouth of yours, Kane!
The Crimson Guard is already in enough trouble with the council.
More trouble and even your dad, Hel Spites [sic] won't be able to help.

Kane: Save your hollow threats for someone else...
But I will be a big man and forget your rude words to me today.
However, I'm taking this old blueblood with me!

Ash: Damn him...

Clive: Thanks for staying cool Ash. It will be fine...

The Next Day...

[back in HQ]

Ash: Excuse me sir.

??: Oh! You must be Ash!

Clive: Ash, this is Dolf Crowley,
a representative from the young revolutionary party.

Ash: Nice to meet you.

Clive: Dolf has been sent out as a mediator to deal
with yesterday's incident.

Ash: Hmm....

Dolf: I understand exactly how you feel Ash.
The Crimson Guards were completely at fault in yesterday's massacre.
Normally there would be need for a mediator in a case this this, but there
are a few complications. As you know, the Crimson Guards are the pet
project of Hel Spites, the minister of defense. Hel's tactics may be
questionable, but his power and influence in the council are not.
I personally think that he is a dangerous man who needs to be watched.

Ash: ....

Dolf: Two council members are competing to become head.
Hel Spites and Renaldo Castille, who is as you know the head of the
Domestic Security Forces, your boss. See the pattern?

Ash: You're saying its more than just a personal
grudge between us and the Crimson Guard. Do you think it could
escalate into a confrontation between the DSF and the army?!

Dolf: Well... let's not be overly pessimistic.
But we need to act swiftly to avoid future trouble.

Ash: ...So what do you want us to do?

Dolf: As punishment we'll send you on leave away from
your policing duties here in the capital. But that's just to establish
your cover! The truth is that I have a top secret assignment for you...

[later, in a meeting room in HQ]

Diego: So what is this top secret mission?

Ash: Do you know who General Magnus Dunbar is?

Diego: Of course. The greatest hero of our country! Why?

Clint: He's also 2nd in line behind Hel in the
defense ministry.

Ash: Well 3 months ago he went to Gillbaris Island
with a squad of hand picked soldiers and he hasn't been seen since.

Clint: Gillbaris Island? In the Gadar Sea? Why?

Ash: I don't know. But I've heard rumors that he was
acting on secret orders from Hel who was planning a coup d'etat.

Clint: That guy is out of control.

Diego: And he wants us to investigate that, huh...

Clint: But Magnus is known for his sense of justice.
I don't hink he would just blindly follow Hel Spites' [sic] orders...

Clive: This secret assignment makes me uneasy...
I'm still not personally sure how much we can believe this Dolf.
It might be a wise idea not to accept this assignment...

Ash: No. I'm going to go. If we stay here we may
cause trouble for you. You've been a good friend to me.

Clive: Ash, that's not why I had you assigned here!

Ash: Of course I know that. But whatever Dolf's
reasons may be, we can't ignore wht happened to General Magnus.

Clint: That's true.

Diego: I wanted to take a vacation anyway.

Clive: I understand but this is a dangerous
assignment. I want you to be careful every step of the way.

[in the tavern again]

Bartender: Welcome. How ya doin'?

Young Man: We need a powerful man to fix this country.
Someone like Hel Spites who knows how to crack down on the bad guys!

Woman: It's true that Hel has been tough on crime...
But somehow I feel that this country is going in the wrong direction.

Old Man: It's not just politicians that are to fault for
this country's problems. The people came together to overthrow the Ashah
Dynasty, but afterwards they had no direction and fell into complacency.
