Finished the Crimson Flower Route. Now onto the Vervant Wind in three houses.
The group reaches the guard infested Restricted Zone.
March: They've jacked up security alright... how are we going to get in? Serval, we need one of those brainwaves.
Serval: Leave it to me... Stick close, and don't get spotted.
Serval, Stelle, and Seele walk up to the guard, who is on guard, before he loosens up, recognizing the blonde haired mechanic.
Guard: Ah! Serval! Long time no see!
Serval: Well if it isn't Franz, long time no see! You're still watching the entrance?
Franz: Well you see, I.... Bah, you haven't changed Serval. Still nailing us to the wall...
Franz: So... What brings you over here at this hour? And who are these guys behind you?
Serval: My brother said the restricted zone energy lines are malfunctioning, told me it was urgent. He doesn't trust those contracted maintenance workers... so he got me in for free. These guys are my assistants. We need to overhaul all the installations in here.
Franz: Uh... I didn't hear anything about the energy lines malfunctioning...
Bileam: Of course they haven't. No offense, but you're a guard, plus since it's urgent, why would they tell everyone.
Franz: That makes sense... Okay, here are some temporary passes... Oh, and remember to give them back to me when you leave.
The guard hands everyone their passes as they head into a walled area, which leads them to a viewing point of a mechanical gear bridge with a destroyed path, a blocked off path, and two others that actually work. To the left are some stairs leading down to the bridge.
Serval: Do you see that mechanical gear bridge? When you cross to the other side, you arrive to hell on earth.
Bileam: It can't be that bad.
Stelle: And what is this "hell" exactly.
Serval: Hm... It's a place too cold to bear, covered in snow and ice. The guys doing scientific research don't have time to worry about the surroundings.
Bileam: Told ya. Would rather be too cold than too hot.
Serval: The restricted zone front line is on the other side of the gear bridge. It's an endless Fragmentum with a few exhausted Silvermane guards... and the stench of death in the air
Bileam: Eh, I've seen worse.
Serval: To go North, we need to cross that hell. Are you ready?
Stelle: We've come this far.
March: Exactly. We've got nowhere left to retreat.
Serval: Haha, let's go then. First, we need to think of a way to get to the other side.
Bileam: I've got that covered.
The group follows Bileam to the blocked off path, as he punches a huge chunk out of the stone wall, making a human sized hole for everyone to fit through. Past the wall is a gate, which Bileam kicked open.
Once through, they reach the frontlines, where Gepard and a bunch of guards wait.
Gepard: Serval, what are you doing here?
The blonde captain then looks over at the others.
Gepard: The criminals... Serval, step away from them, and stand behind me.
