"The UN and insurgent groups worked together to unfurl this flag over the battlefield. ...everyone was certain that it would awaken a desire for peace. ...became the one and only flag of Uddiyana that day." "But this civil war wasn't such a simple thing. was stolen. was on the brink of failure." "they couldn't make this known to the public." "All because of one little flag..." "SDC." "A top-secret unit formed for the express purpose of retrieving that flag." "These were the people who were going to risk their lives for a flag. ...who had taken the flag picture that had set the whole thing in motion." "What are they trying to get Shirasu to photograph THIS time?" "what are you trying to get on film?" "Shirasu's finger wasn't able to press the shutter to take any pictures of the squad members as they returned out of the gunsmoke-filled haze." "Rain... it's me." "It's almost noon." "Is something the matter?" "Are you feeling all right?" "I'm fine." "I'll be right there." "okay?" "then... ...and is situated at an altitude of 2800 meters above sea level. ...the steep landscape that surrounds it makes it into a veritable natural fortress." "The volume of chatter in the last 24 hours shows an increase of 160% over previous levels." "we have confirmation that three cargo choppers made an approach carrying what we believe are LD1 containers via sling." "Slinging" something is when a helicopter carries something suspended underneath it. ...I suppose they have to rely on transport by helicopter. ...both coincide with the theft of the flag." "just in case. ...it's clear that whoever stole it headed in this direction." "Subasci Operations Command has concluded that Metazone Temple was their final destination." "we will going to rapid-response level 4 as of today." "That's all for today." "It looks like the rain will let up soon." "Miss Shirasu." "that's right..." "I was just thinking that it would be nice if today went on being quiet and dull." "stop kidding around." "It's risky to have your face shown?" "What do you think?" "!" "cautious type?" "how did it go?" "I'll talk after you turn that thing off." "The reason I got in touch with this old informant after so long was to have him put out feelers to set up a meeting with Nyucient Ru Pou XXIII. ...this country's most powerful religious authority." "it's common knowledge that it's entirely up to him whether the cease-fire becomes a reality or falls apart." "I knew that meeting with him wouldn't be easy." "Are you kidding me?" "That's a whole year's income you're asking me for." "and I'll start making calls." "But if you..." "Did you record what I said just now?" "you might back out on me." "you know that? ...is an "overhang" style temple that is common in this region." "The only conceivable approach is a HAVWC parachute drop. you have almost complete control over the direction of your descent." "there's nothing as dangerous as parachuting into enemy territory." "exposed and with nowhere to hide." "it's like shooting fish in a barrel." "it'd be simple." "and BOOM!" "Just blow the whole place straight to hell." "We're gonna get that flag back." "You guys are willing to risking your lives to go take back the flag..." "I guess the big bucks did the trick." "My informant introduced me to the leader of an insurgent group that used to be allied with the Gelut sect." "I secured a promise from him to get me an interview with Ru Pou." "Do you mind if I sit here?" "Sure." "your photographs." "May I see?" "go ahead." "this one is beautiful." "Wolves." "I see that you are more of a photographer than a journalist." "a terrible war broke out in my country." "taking pictures. ...they simply ignored us and went on taking their pictures." "they went home." "rude people." "don't you?" "Me!" "It's me!" "we are both smiling!" "A large quantity of materiel has been shipped in over the past few days." "how heavily are they armed?" "a parachute drop might involve enormous risks." "We don't have enough intel..." "We'll send in a reconnaissance UAV." "They still aren't aware of what we're up to here." "you will fly the reconnaissance drone." "Roger." "You'll need to reach the target point before nightfall." "You depart at 1300 hours." "We'll provide you with the details later." "Commander." "what is it?" "let me go with them." "You want me to let you go?" "The Gelut sect is the religious authority that has ruled this country for the past thousand years." "the first thing that leaps to many a mind... one that is veiled in legend." "that of an assassin cult which ran rampant in the shadows of history." "Even the great Kublai Khan was said to have feared the Gelut assassin cult. ...whose earliest memories would be of the intensive training they received." "tahonfu." "Irunho?" "I asked what his thoughts were on the cease-fire agreement." "and he didn't utter a single word in reply." "I was afraid of the subject I was interviewing." "my brief interview time came to an end." "as planned." "let me go with them." "You want me to let you go?" "I can't do that." "but I can't guarantee your safety." "I can't put you in danger for no good reason." "let me go with them!" "I feel like I saw a side of you yesterday that I wasn't supposed to see." "I got scared..." "I thought that you all were scary." "But I'm positive that I was wrong." "I want to see for myself and understand what it is that you're risking your lives for." "And I want to record it for posterity." "I want you to understand that keeping you safe will put them in danger." "I've been given the authority to document all aspects of this operation." "let's let her go." "we felt the eyes watching us." "We knew that someone was watching." "That someone knew what was happening." "It keeps us going even now." "It is all right." "I will vouch for Miss Shirasu's safety." "Lieutenant..." "But that is only if she can hold it in and not have to pee until we return to base." "then." "Thank you!" "The Commander isn't the hard-ass that you think she is." "People in positions of authority aren't like us." "We can get away with thinking only of ourselves." "Put this on." "Just as a precaution." "Body armor?" "Here." "Heavy!" "let's get a picture of you!" "that's MY job..." "Lt. Beroqui." "Cabin camera check." "okay." "Forward camera check." "okay." "Control Base." "Takeoff approved." "I'm taking us up." "Got it." "I didn't get anything out of Ru Pou at all." "This was the high point of my day." "We are on station at Mirbala Gorge at 300." "Now beginning low pass." "Roger." "Sixty seconds to Predator separation point." "go." "120 knots." "Predator control is nominal." "we are receiving Predator data feed." "Predator has acquired target." "Switch over to FLIR mode as planned." "Roger." "Target confirmed ahead." "Radar waves detected at 11 o'clock." "It's an anti-aircraft cannon!" "Shirasu!" "Shit!" "They've got another dead ahead!" "Lieutenant!" "My left shoulder is hit..." "Please take the controls..." "I can't move my left hand." "We have to stitch that closed and stop the bleeding." "There's no time." "I'll do it!" "You'll have to stitch it shut." "Can you do that?" "so..." "I think so. ...but the wound it gouged out was several centimeters long." "an average person would have passed out long ago from an injury like that." "Regret that she pushed aside while she was frantically trying to cope with the situation came flooding out like water spilling over a dam the instant they returned to base." "let me go with them." "You want me to let you go?" "I can't do that." "I want you to understand that keeping you safe will put them in danger." "let's let her go." "It is all right." "I will vouch for Miss Shirasu's safety." "Thank you for putting down your camera to render assistance." "I won't put you in that situation again." "I'll have the footage that the helicopter's cameras recorded ready in 20 minutes." "I'm sorry." "don't try to take the picture in the first place." "aren't you?" "Just take it." "Right!" "Shirasu took a picture of a frontline soldier looking directly into the camera." "just one is enough." "0)}I want to see a beautiful light. 0)}..." "I don't need anything else." "0)}"Please don't let me be swallowed up by sadness." "0)}"Please let me have some purpose in my stride. 0)}...wish for a light to erase the shadows that have come upon us."
