1 xs08040100_MSG0001 Citizens of NLA, this is Secretary Nagi.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
2 xs08040100_MSG0002 Those of you that have served under me—here,[ST:n ]or on the White Whale—know I'm not one to mince words.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
3 xs08040100_MSG0003 So I'll get right to the point:[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
4 xs08040100_MSG0004 We are at war.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
5 xs08040100_MSG0005 Even now, the hostile alien force known as[ST:n ]the Ganglion is marching on New Los Angeles.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
6 xs08040100_MSG0006 We know they possess Skell-class ground-based units,[ST:n ]and we have reports of unidentified flying weaponry as well.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
7 xs08040100_MSG0007 Director General Chausson is attempting to open a dialogue,[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
8 xs08040100_MSG0008 but our enemy has shown no signs[ST:n ]of being open to negotiation.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
9 xs08040100_MSG0009 In light of all this, it is my duty to prepare us all for the worst.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
10 xs08040100_MSG0010 And this is why I've called an emergency assembly[ST:n ]of all BLADE divisions.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
11 xs08040100_MSG0011 To be clear, none of this changes our mission[ST:n ]with regards to recovering the Lifehold.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
12 xs08040100_MSG0012 But in the short term, it is absolutely[ST:n ]CRUCIAL that we protect our city.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
13 xs08040100_MSG0013 Not just for our fellow humans, but for the Ma-non[ST:n ]and our other xenoform allies as well.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
14 xs08040100_MSG0014 New Los Angeles is home to us all—[ST:n ]including our brothers and sisters yet to be awakened.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
15 xs08040100_MSG0015 In that spirit, the Ma-non have agreed to use their ship[ST:n ]to ferry all noncombatants out of the combat zone.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
16 xs08040100_MSG0016 This is a temporary measure.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
17 xs08040100_MSG0017 But also, a very good example...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
18 xs08040100_MSG0018 of how we all—human and xenoform alike—[ST:n ]must sacrifice and contribute to our common cause.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
19 xs08040100_MSG0019 For those of us who will fight,[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
20 xs08040100_MSG0020 I promise you that once we prevail,[ST:n ]any mimeosome damaged or destroyed will be fully restored.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
21 xs08040100_MSG0021 Troops...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
22 xs08040100_MSG0022 A trying battle awaits us, but we MUST repel[ST:n ]the coming invasion. No matter what the cost.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
23 xs08040100_MSG0023 We're counting on you.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
