[Side text: An Organisation member gazes upon the Luciela-Rafaela merged being - a being truly Awakened. What is going through his mind...?!]
Daé: No sense of self... // No thirst for flesh... / Not even any attachment to life... // It simply destroys all that lies around it... / Annihilating all that bears life... until it finally perishes itself. // Magnificent.

Scene 96: Desirous Gaze
Daé: Truly, this being... // ...is the ultimate 'perfect weapon'.
[Insert text: Dark speculations... // ...are afoot...]

4
Daé: What do you say...? // Is there some way for us to acquire that being for ourselves...?
RetrievalUnit: Me deepest apologies... // But with that monstrous size and destructive capacity... / ...we of the Retrieval Unit would be frankly unable to handle such a being...
Daé: Hmph. I hardly expected that much of you. // Certainly, the main body may be an impossibility... / ...but what of the smaller beings that it has spread around the area? We can make do with them alone for the moment.
RetrievalUnit: They were scattered over a wide area... and some have already ceased to function. // We may be able to succeed in retrieving one of those...
Daé: What use to us are mere remains?
RetrievalUnit: !
Daé: Once they have ceased to function, they are no more use to us than the remains of any other Awakened Being.

5
Daé: I simply must... // ...have a still-living specimen of these beings.
RetrievalUnit: !! // But surely... // ...that would be even more difficult than capturing an ordinary Awakened Being alive...
Daé: I am well aware of that fact. // However, this is one specimen that we simply must obtain, even if it means sacrificing a portion of our current military force.
RetrievalUnit: Perhaps if we still had Numbers 1 and 2 available to make use of, such an operation would be feasible... // But considering our current military capacity, our chances seem rather slim...
Daé: Tch... It would seem we were a little hasty... // ...in deploying Alicia and Beth...

6
RetrievalUnit: Daé-sama.
[TN: Okay, any ideas on where this name comes from? >_< I believe the Organisation members' names tend to be drawn from art galleries / artists, which is kind of outside my field of knowledge ~_~ Katakana are "daae" (ダーエ)]
RetrievalUnit: We have reports of a rather unusual case being discovered... // ...in the town of Ticheri, a short way south of here...
Daé: Hmm?

7
Daé: Dear me, how terrible... // So this is the state of the closest town to the incident... // It must have been quite the commotion...
RetrievalUnit: All of the specimens released in this area have since ceased to function... // ...and the residents of the town were all but annihilated.
Daé: "All but"... // ...you say?
RetrievalUnit: It seems there was... // ...a single survivor...

Raki: *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // *pant*

9
Daé: Well, well... // My, my, my...
Projectiles: Gghh... // Gghhahh...
Daé: Unbelievable... // How is it that he is able to prevent its effects from spreading across his body, despite being penetrated to this extent?

10
Daé: I should hope that the explanation... // ...is more interesting than some tedious issue of "willpower"...
Raki: *pant* // *pant* // *pant*
Daé: We retrieve it.
RetrievalUnit: !
Daé: The specimen, host and all, is to be taken to Organisation headquarters.
RetrievalUnit: B... But what if... // ...his body were to be completely overtaken during the transportation process...?
Daé: Quite. // As such, I will be returning to Organisation headquarters by a different route.

11
Daé: I ask that you not forget... // ...the goal of this Organisation, and that which we are to accomplish. / Use those insufficient heads of yours to consider what exactly should take priority here.
RetrievalUnit: Ahh...
Raki: *pant* // *pant* // *pant*
Daé: Hahahah... // When research materials are left to their own devices... // ...they have a way of bringing about interesting results on occasion.

12
Cynthia: ! // Uma-san... // I sense something nearby... / A youki... one of us...
Uma: ! // What?

13
Uma: It's faint, but you're right... // I do sense the youki of a warrior... // I don't think it belongs to Clare or the others, though. // Looks like it belongs to one of the Organisation's warriors...
Cynthia: Right after being exposed to that monstrous youki back there... // ...it's a little difficult to make subtle judgements...
Uma: At any rate, it's coming from this direction. // You think we should lend her a hand if she's too injured to move? // !
Cynthia: !!

14
[no text just oh.]

15
Uma: A... / A warrior in black...? // Is she one of the Organisation's warriors...? // A... At any rate, we should take that thing out of her... // ...lend her some kind of help... // !

16
Cynthia: N... No... // Uma-san... / She's... // She's... beyond saving...
Uma: Cyn... // ...thia...?

17
Uma: !
Cynthia: !!
Beth: Unh... / Aghh... // Hghhh...

18
Beth: Gghh... // Ggahh... // Gghh... // Gghhh...

19
Uma: !!
Cynthia: !!!
Beth: Gghhh... // Gghhh... // Gghhh... // Ggahhh...

20-21
Beth: Gghh... // Gghhhh... // Gghhahhh...

22
Uma: What is that thing...?
Cynthia: An Awakened...?!
Beth: Gghh... // Ggahhh... // Gghhh...

23
Uma: B... Black blades... // ...from all over its body...?
Cynthia: Uma-san...! // We have to run, right awa -

Helen: *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // *pant*
Deneve: *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // *pant*

27
Deneve: Looks like that was the last of them...
Clare: Mm. // Around half of them were defeated by us... // *pant* // *pant* // *pant* // ...while the other half ran out of energy and stopped moving of their own accord...

28
Deneve: It looks like unless you chop them into pieces... // ...they can rampage for around half a day without much trouble...
Helen: Heh... // Either way, we survived 'em, and that's what counts. // Take that, you goddamn monsters.
Deneve: *pant* // *pant* // *pant*
Clare: *pant* // *pant* // *pant*
Helen: ? // What's with those faces, huh?! // We won, didn't we?! / Try looking a little happier!

29
Deneve: We haven't won... // This isn't close to being over yet.
Helen: Eh? // O... Oi... // You've gotta be kidding me...

[no text just vision of despair]

31
Helen: N... No fuckin' way... // We just fought to the point of practically killing ourselves... / ...to take those bastards out...
Clare: They mean to continue, over and over... // ...until their vitality is completely depleted.
