"Most of the Earth's natural resources had finally been exhausted, and
the tiny planet was unable to support the soaring population of humans. In 2045
mankind began to look beyond Earth for solutions and built the first
Earth-space track orbital elevator. The "Space Age" had officially begun, and
countries all over the world dove into countless research projects and space
development plans.
It was then that the human race created and discovered several new tools that
would change life forever; the LEV, a pilot-controlled interspace robot; the
resource Metatron, excavated from the Jupiter Moon, Callistoe; and the Urenbeck
Catapult, a device which, by manipulating space, enabled hyper-speed travel.
The discovery and invention of these so-called "tools" expedited the progress
of the space development project resulting in an exodus into space; in the
span of a single century, more than 20 million people took up residencies in
colonies on the moon, Mars, and as far as Jupiter territory. The transition
from Earth to space seemed to be going smoothly - however, new conflicts were
just beginning to materialize.
Human beings left on Earth began to refer to these colonists as "Enders", a
derogatory term for those "living at the end of civilization", expressing their
prejudiced attitudes toward non-Earth inhabitants. In response, these
immigrants, who were subject to discrimination on top of living in harsh
environments, bonded together in their bitterness against Earth... and tensions
between the two groups would only be magnified as time passed.
In 2158, anger on the immigrant side culminated in the founding of BAHRAM, an
anti-Earth military unit based in Vacilia County, Mars - and its subsequent
clandestine invention of the Metatron "Orbital Frame", an entirely new type of
LEV-like machine.
From there, it was one tragedy after another. The Deimos Incident. Anterior
Intervention. The threat of orbital elevator destruction. Since the advent of
BAHRAM and the Orbital Frame, the already precarious equilibrium keeping the
peace betweeen Earth and space was rapidly falling apart. And in 2173, amidst
the political turmoil, another ship filled with immigrants left Earth for the
Zone Of The Enders..."

Some notes on the walkthrough. READ before going on.
-This guide is NOT SPOILER FREE. If you want something that IS spoiler free,
erase all the none-TACTIC parts in each scene.
-For information on the 24 Scene/25 Scene path, refer to section 4. 24/25 Scene
Paths.
-I have no plans to retell the story word for word. Between each scene, I will
give a brief update on the story that's happening so far, and that WILL be it.
-I am assuming you have your IAS on by default, so that you can actually cause
damage quickly enough. Otherwise, many of the feats that this walkthrough
lists for you to do would be impossible.
-My apology with associating LEV with Frame, but since it registers in my mind
as the same thing far too often, I sometimes use one term where the other is
supposed to be used.

You'll be introduced to your main character; Cage, a young blue-haired boy
working on the ship Bonaparte III. At the beginning, there'll be some confusion
as a man confronts Cage and accuses him of stealing his wallet. Cage's friend
Ares will show up and stop the fight that is about to happen, and the man will
give Cage the "Handy PC" after some shady things happen. Ares will be
exasperated at how easy Cage gets in trouble.
Afterwards, the ship is about ready to begin it's landing. On a cutscene away
from Cage, you'll learn that the ship is carrying a 'mystery cargo', when the
pilot and his captain report something huge coming their way that's not showing
up on radar.
Afterwards, Cage will spot a mysterious blue-haired girl. As he finds her, the
ship will be rocked with a hit from the unidentified object, and the ship wll
begin to malfunction. With no time left, Cage will get into a large LEV that he
found in the hangar, learning the girl's name in the process (Myona Alderan),
and they'll take off....Only to fight....
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
SCENE ONE
On the Battle God's Palm
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
VICTORY: Defeat the Black Frame!
FAILURE: Cage's Frame destroyed!
The Bonaparte will explode, and the autopilot detects 42 living. The autopilot
introduces itself as a navigation system, then notes the orbital frame coming
their way. Afterwards, we fight.
TACTICS: This battle is a good time to get yourself introduced to the battle
system. I'll be giving you a somewhat condensed version of how to fight. Start
off by pressing the A button on the blue machine, and with it, move it onto one
of the blue panels next to the red machine. Once you're in position, press
Attack, and choose your only available option, the Rusty Lancer. Choose the red
machine next to you to attack.
Now, you'll have eight seconds to attack the enemy Orbital Frame. You do this
by trying to get the crosshairs you have on the screen over the Orbital Frame,
and then pressing A to fire (If you have IAS disabled, you will automatically
fire). However, do you see that red spot on the Orbital Frame? If you can get
your crosshairs within that red spot, and you fire, the enemy unit will take
critical damage.
Afterwards, move your cursor on the map away from any Orbital Frames, press A,
and choose PhaseEnd. You'll then move on the defensive, and the enemy will
attack. Here, you'll have a crosshair again, but instead of trying to hit the
enemy Orbital Frame, you want to move it away. The enemy will shoot out his own
crosshairs, and if they run into your crosshair, you'll be damaged. If he
misses and time runs out, you'll avoid the attack.
Fight until you bring the enemy Orbital Frame to a low amount of HP.
Communication will cut off as the enemy says something, and after evading an
attack, Cage decides that he can't let himself be defeated. He'll then defeat
the Orbital Frame, and the enemy Orbital Frame will run off. However, Cage wll
be pulled down to Mars below by the gravitational field...

We'll learn that said girl has amnesia, and the navigation program will
interrupt and introduce itself as Pharsti. In the Mars wasteland, three Martian
police will come out and arrest Cage, saying he's destroyed public property.
Meanwhile, in some room elsewhere, we'll hear two people talk about a Plan 261,
and also discuss political turmoil.
Back at the ranch, a security personnel will call Cage a liar when Cage tells
his story, and shows a news report that says everyone on the Bonaparte was
dead. When put back in the cell, Cage will reveal a button that plays music he
got from Ares, which seems familiar to Myona. Ares will suddenly show up, and
when he tries to open the lock, another figure gives Ares the combination.
Afterwards, they'll run away.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
SCENE TWO
Perpetual Motion
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!
FAILURE: Cage's Frame destroyed!
Cage will introduce Myona to Ares, and the new figure introduces himself as
Deckson. Two security LEVs come in, and Cage will take off with Pharsti.
TACTICS: Wait out the first turn, so that the enemies will move closer to you
but still not be in hitting range. Once your first turn is out and
you're into your second turn, hit the enemy within attacking range
with your Tear Bullet, and eliminate the same enemy a turn later with
at least one critical hit between the two attacks. Afterwards, focus
your fire on the other unit, until that LEV is down.
Afterwards, the security guard from before, whose name is Frazer, will show up
with eight of his own men. However, one of those men will be destroyed as some
of Deckson's friends show up. We'll also get our new objective; direct Blade,
the vehicle-like LEV, to the flashing spot on the map.
VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!/Direct
Blade to the flashing spot!
FAILURE: Cage's Frame destroyed!/
Blade is destroyed!
TACTICS: With your first move, put Blade left and out of harm's way for the
time being. Next, concentrate your fire on one LEV at a time over with
Razma and Semyl, picking off one unit a turn. Next, have Cage follow
along with Blade as an escort, stopping to take on anybody who decides
to have a run-in with Blade. With Frazer's units lagging behind and
the Razma and Semyl duo taking care of their targets, Blade should be
able to make it to the flashing spot without a problem, thus ending
the mission in a victory.
Afterwards, a member of the UNSF Special Task Force Acemos, Nadia Candido,
shows up and ridicules Frazer. Afterwards, you'll receive your rewards for the
mission. Of special note right now is that you can use the Garage during
intermission, and can upgrade your LEV's HP, Shell, and Weapons Attack power.

At the Born in Space hideout, Deckson will introduce their organization to
Cage. We'll learn a bit of background, and see some more of Semyl's and Razma's
personality. However, Phil will rush in and inform us that the UNSF is raiding
the hospital. Apparently, another BIS member named Yukito is there, and the
UNSF is raiding the hospital to steal a drug and sell it at a higher price.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SCENE THREE
A Hopeless Hope
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!/Approach
the hospital with Edge!
FAILURE: Cage's Frame destroyed!/
Edge is destroyed!
Ned Noashim and his crew will raid the hospital, and demand some unrealistic
demands. At the same time, two UNSF soldiers will stop the transport of the
drug, but Yukito will show up and bust them up. Deckson, Cage, and everyone
else will show up, and Deckson will offer to deliver the drug, showing he isn't
a terrorist. Afterwards, we'll have to battle.
TACTICS: You need to get the Edge vehicle within the range of the flashing
squares. First and foremost, send out Cage's LEV, Yukito's LEV, and
Semyl's LEV out to the front lines, and have Edge and Blade follow
them in behind. Once you're in a tactical position with the
short-range fighters facing in front against the incoming vehicles and
the long-range fighters behind them, wait for each of the enemy LEVs
to approach, and pick them off one by one. With this, one of the
conditions will have been fulfilled.
Afterwards, Ned threatens to destroy the hospital and turn it into propaganda
against BIS. However, Cage spots a Morse code and buys time, and Razma appears,
sniping down Ned.
VICTORY: Defeat Ned!
FAILURE: Cage's Frame destroyed!/
Edge is destroyed!
TACTICS: You have a free shot at Ned with Razma right off the bat. Next, move
up all your other units to encounter Ned. Ned will more than likely
move down to Razma, but he'll be far enough so that you have another
hit at him. If you got both hits critical ratings, Ned will go down.
Otherwise, he should still fall after a bit of a beating.
Afterwards, Ned will make meaningless threats, then recognize Cage. After
thinking something about Plan 261, he'll run off. Afterwards, the Hospital
Director apologizes to BIS, because he can't have them around any longer.
Deckson will philosophise over how if they win there's no applause, and if they
lose, they're terrorists. Afterwards, we'll head back to BIS Headquarters.
Here, we'll be formally introduced to Yukito. Deckson reveals that many
atrocities on Mars are covered up, and BIS merely protects people's rights.
Suddenly, Myona will remember stuff about her family and a fire, and faint.
Afterwards, Semyl gives Myona a speech and tells her that if she wants to
remember, Semyl will help her out and she should just take it easy. Afterwards,
you'll receive your prizes for the mission.

We'll learn that Myona was supposedly a stowaway on the Bonaparte III, and that
a "Logistic Lewy" was on the Barnaparte III. Myona's parents are dead, too, it
seems. Deckson then asks Ares, Myona, and Cage to join Born In Space, and the
three will accept. However, Myona will then fall sick. Phil appears and reveals
that UNSF framed BIS for destroying the hospital, when UNSF has apparently set
off an explosion at Saint Mars Hospital. Deckson then tells the other two about
Robin O'Connell, who's their funder and supporter in one.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
SCENE FOUR
DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
VICTORY: Get Edge to the flashing spot!/
Destroy Ned's LEV!
FAILURE: Edge is destroyed!
It'll be shown that Ned is burning Mars civilian homes. Deckson will then
direct Cage's attention to a factory, after saying something worrisome about a
possible leak. Your goal will be to get to the flashing spot over by the
factory.
TACTICS: Start off by moving Edge chiefly upwards. Afterwards, your own forces
will come out, with Yukito, Razma, and Semyl to the right, and Phil
as well as Cage's LEV to the left. Once this is done, pick out the
forces on the right side using your long-range guns, while Phil and
Cage's LEV take on their own enemies. All the time, continue moving up
Edge to the flashing spot. Pit Cage's LEV on frontal combat, while
leaving Phil on long-range; if Cage's LEV gets damaged, Phil can fix
it. Once Edge begins to get close to the factory, make sure all your
opponents have been destroyed, then get all your other units near
Edge. Afterwards, continue moving forward with Edge until you get to
the flashing spot.
Afterwards, Robin will come out, aghast at what Ned has done, but Ned will
suddenly appear and make some threats. However, Robin's assistant Mebius will
appear behind Ned with another LEV, and damage Ned. Ned will then run off, and
summon another platoon of frames.
VICTORY: Destroy Ned's LEV!
FAILURE: Edge is destroyed!/
Cage's Frame is destroyed!
TACTICS: Band your forward fighters together, and keep the long-range fighters
right behind them. These enemies here are new, and while they're a
lot smaller, they have a lot less HP; as a result, a more powerful-end
attack or even a single critical hit can mop up each enemy. By keeping
your long-range attackers just behind your short-range attackers,
the enemies will come to try and attack one of the units. From there,
you can pick off said nemesis and then turn your fire to another
enemy on the battlefield. After the platoon is down, concentrate your
fire on Ned, and hit him from all sides.
Afterwards, Nadia will show up, and say something about a higher figure, and
order Ned to follow orders. Afterwards, the BIS members will head back to base.
At BIS, introductions will be made around, and Robin will explain the Robin
Foundation to Cage. Afterwards, Mebius gives Myona a stuffed animal and warns
her about Razma (xd). After a brief talk about the Orbital Frame that Mebius
had and what the UNSF is doing, Ares suggests the possibility of traitors in
the Born In Space. Afterwards, we'll go elsewhere.
Here, we'll see a scene between Nadia and her superior Lieutenant Bolozof,
where it's suggested that they are lovers but Bolozof is using Nadia to his own
ends.

Phil will break in, and get in a brief fight with Razma. Afterwards, Phil
brings the news; heavy taxes will be imposed on custom duties on commodities.
Robin will call out her secretary Twede; the tax is limited to the county BIS
is located in. Semyl will get angry over UNSF deliberately trying to starve
people, and Razma will give her a going-down. Robin decides to go and find the
force behind this incident, and afterwards, Twede will intervene to reveal that
a supposed BIS-owned Frame operated by a pilot named 'Den' is creating chaos at
Pandora Frettum - where Semyl's orphanage is located.

SCENE FIVE
A Voice from Far, Far Away
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
VICTORY: ???
FAILURE: Attack any enemy frames!/
Cage's Frame is destroyed!
'Den' will be making the orphans feel bad, when BIS shows up. 'Den', who's
really Ned, will reveal to the BIS members that the children are in orbital
frames that will approach the BIS on auto-pilot and attack them; but if BIS
attacks the orbital frames, they will explode. He later reveals that the
orphanage will explode if he is attacked.
TACTICS: First and foremost, DO NOT ATTACK ANY ENEMIES. If you do, explosions
will happen, and you will lose the game. Instead, move your units up
about five panels each, and then wait for three turns, dodging any
attacks that may be thrown at you. After your three turns are over,
a mysterious new Frame will appear, operated by a pilot named Warren.
Ned will be shocked at Warren's arrival, and it's revealed that Ned works for a
person named Zephyr. Warren tells Cage he'll disarm all the bombs.
VICTORY: Destroy all enemy LEVs!
FAILURE: Durandal II is destroyed!/
Cage's Frame is destroyed!
TACTICS: Immediately, bring Warren to your guys, and guide him toward the
bomb-armed LEVs. Basically, what you need to do is have Warren move to
a panel RIGHT NEXT to one of the LEVs with bombs on them, and he will
disarm them. Once they are disarmed, you can go and attack said LEV
without the bombs exploding. DO NOT ATTACK NED. Once all three LEVs
have been destroyed, it's good.
Ned will threaten to nuke the orphanage, but Ares will appear with his own
Orbital Frame Vjaya and disarm the bomb in the orphanage. Ned will then go mad,
retreat, and bring in more forces to battle against.
VICTORY: Ned's Frame destroyed!
FAILURE: Cage's Frame is destroyed!
TACTICS: Start off by moving Vjaya (with it's large movement frame) down to
where all your other guys are, and your enemies will start following
you. From here on in, start picking off the enemy units that come in,
as now is a very good time to start gaining some experience. Be sure
to test out Warren's Absolute and Vjaya's two attacks; you'll be
surprised to find out how powerful they are. Once the line has been
broken, mopup the remainders with Edge, Blade, and Razma along with
Semyl, and bring your other guys (Cage's LEV, Vjaya, Durandal II,
etc.) forward to block Ned in and take him out for once and for all.
Afterwards, Ned threatens to set off bombs that are on the collars of the
children. Pharsti will suggest to Cage that she can stop it, and Cage will take
it. Suddenly, Cage's LEV will turn into the Orbital Frame Testament! Pharsti
and Cage will then destroy Ned's LEV, and kill Ned along with it. Cage will be
mournful as he realizes what he has done. Afterwards, Deckson orders everyone
to get back to BIS as the Security Keeping Force is on its way.

Bolozof and Zephyrs meet, and Bolozof warns Zephyrs that the political
situation could come tumbling down on Zephyrs. Zephyrs then warns Bolozof about
Nadia, saying that her naivete could make her a dangerous double-edged sword.
After, Zephyrs will speculate on something called a Vale and the Animus Series
of Orbital Frames.
Back at BIS, talk will be made between people, and it'll be decided to let Cage
come to terms on his own. Afterwards, the BIS members will get worried over
what Earth is up to, stating that now that they're constructing Orbital Frames,
Mars could lose the battles for freedom for sure. Twede enters and reveals
Zephyrs is behind all this. After some theories are made, turns out Cage has
opened the outer hatch and is gone. Damn.
With Cage, he'll run into Myona, who'll comfort him a bit as to his situation;
apparently, Cage just wanted to lead a quiet life. Myona then reveals some
stuff she remembers, and gives Cage a moral speech. However....
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
SCENE SIX
One Wing's Promise
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
VICTORY: Destroy all enemy frames!
FAILURE: Cage's Frame is destroyed!
UNSF forces appear and order Cage to disembark. Myona forces Cage to stay on,
and just as UNSF forces are about to fire, the other Born In Space members show
up and counterfire. After a bit of chit-chat, everyone will throw their support
forward for Cage (BTW, this is perhaps the BEST MUSIC EVAR in the game).
TACTICS: Move Semyl and the three support vehicles in a cross position, with
Semyl on the back (if you can, however, fire at the enemy craft
instead). In the same turn, move up Yukito and the three Orbital
Frames so that they're close enough to attack next turn, and make sure
Vjaya takes out one of the enemy UNSF LEVs. After the UNSF forces are
done their attacks, take them out with your long/short-range cross
formation forces, and move up Yukito and the Orbital Frames to take
care of them on the short-range zone.
Afterwards, everyone throws their words of support towards Cage again, and
Razma calls in by radio, and the orphan kids thank Cage for his help in
stopping Ned earlier. Razma also gives Cage a speech, but is suddenly
interrupted, saying something first about how 'they' are here. The BIS members
will rush to the city.
In the city, we'll meet up with Bolozof and Nadia, whose forces are destroying
the orphanage. Nadia will question Bolozof's orders, but the BIS forces will
show up. Bolozof will order them captured, but Razma will show up and eliminate
all the LEVs except for Bolozof and Nadia. Bolozof offers Razma a position, but
Razma refuses. Bolozof insults Martians, and then Cage wishes Pharsti were
around...and summons her in doing so. Some foreshadowing later, Cage takes
reign of Testament, and Myona leaves on the spare Blade.
VICTORY: Destroy all enemy frames!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: Start off by moving down your Orbital Frames just next to Razma, and
have Razma fire off at an enemy LEV. Once that's done, move everyone
else down, following the Orbital Frames. After the next turn, the
regular UNSF LEVs will follow up, but none of them will be in firing
range yet. Take this opportunity to devastate their forces, and try to
leave no LEV living. Once they are all gone, Nadia will have started
her ascent upwards to the top, so wait it out until she gets in range,
then surround her in one turn from all sides. Once Nadia is down for
the count, Bolozof will come after you. Use the same strategy as you
did with Nadia - wait for Bolozof to come up to you, then surround
him from all sides with short and long-range combat units.
After, Bolozof will retreat, and Cage thanks Pharsti. Afterwards, Cage explains
that he now knows that he cannot run away from reality. After some
foreshadowing, Cage apologizes to Pharsti for placing blame on her, and we
learn that Testament was named after the deal between the two, and that Cage is
Pharsti's unconditonal master. Back at BIS, Myona will comment to Ares that
Cage is a strange boy, and he has something that she just can't pull herself
away from.
In a secret conversation elsewhere, two people talk about progression of
events, Pharsti, and Mars' freedom.

Robin will be doing tests on Testament, and Cage will leave. Meeting up with
Myona, they'll have a little chat, and Robin tells Cage afterwards that Pharsti
is very mysterious. After Cage and Myona leaves, Twede comes out; it appears
the two are working for another employer.
In the meeting room, Deckson explains that there is another demonstration
downtown later on, and it appears that an earlier 'demonstration' where
civilians were injured was really the early BIS-Bolozof fight, edited to seem
like a civilian demonstration where civilians fired first. After, Deckson
decides to wait in ambush for any anti-Mars forces.

SCENE SEVEN
Opposing Tracks
=-=-=-=-=-=--=-
VICTORY: Destroy all enemy frames!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
The security forces will be worried about the Earth UNSF forces, and then the
protestors show up, demanding equal rights for Martians. Down below, Razma
explains to Cage that some things can only be seen from on the ground. They'll
meet with Nadia, and a suspiciously unconscious child. After their brief
confrontation, the two head back up to the LEVs.
Up top, Nadia will fire in guise of a civilian LEV, and UNSF forces will show
up. Turns out the security forces were set up, and UNSF will destroy the two
security LEVs and a protestor. After, the Born In Space members will show up,
and tell the protestors to move south.
TACTICS: The main goal of this battle may be to stop all the UNSF forces, but
remember that you have to escort the demonstrators out of here. Start
off by sending Testament and Durandal II on the left side down to take
care of the four UNSF units here, and the other three units on the
left should snipe down the remaining UNSF forces coming in on their
side. Everything going down ideally, the left side should be
eliminated totally within a maximum of three turns. On the right side,
send Yukito down to meet the incoming forces, while Vjaya, Blade and
Orcrist fend off the three units up top, then send them down to Yukito
if help is required. Now, see that square with a vortex-like icon on
the right side? Send one of your Orbital Frames there in the second
turn. It'll collect data that will be useful for later. Afterwards,
do whatever you need to do on the southern front, and make sure Razma
comes down if you have him up there.
After, Bolozof will come out of hiding, along with Nadia. Nadia orders Cage to
give back the Testament, and decides she'll have to take it by force instead.
More men appear to fight you.
VICTORY: Lower Bolozof to 30% HP-!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: Start off by organizing your BIS members into a single unit; the UNSF
forces are going to be coming at you in full force. Once they do, meet
them with open force, and take out your most powerful weapons to
destroy them in a single shot or two. Eventually, Bolozof and Nadia
will make their way down. When this happens, stop whatever you are
doing; Bolozof is the most important target here. Once Bolozof is
within striking range, take four of your close-range units and
surround him so he can't get out, and strike at him in turn with each
of your LEVs. Once he is reduced to 30% HP or less, Cage and co.
will escape from him.
Afterwards, Bolozof will be angry, because apparently BIS thinks they spared
his life.
Back at BIS, we learn stuff about Acemos, and how they're a dangerous group,
along with Bolozof. It also seems Zephyrs is the power behind Acemos. Razma
says he has a lead, and leaves to go look into it. After, Ares says that the
human hearts have become like the vast territory they have claimed (empty), and
Phil gets brushed aside once more.

Back at BIS, Razma will return and show pictures of a private OF-manufacturing
factory. After learning Razma put a tracer on Nadia, Yukito points out that the
factory is owned by the Ryan Corporation, and is likely to have high security.
Ares will be for invading quickly, and after Warren asks why, explains that all
that is needed now is proof of Earthling involvement and data from the local
server to bring a verdict against Zephyrs. After, Twede shows up with a battle
plan.

SCENE EIGHT
Darkness Dyed by Darkness
=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-
VICTORY: Find the right entrance!
FAILURE: You are spotted!
Yukito will explain that if an enemy LEV gets within 3 spaces of you, you need
to take it out immediately. Afterwards, Deckson says he's sending Ares and Phil
on the Blade since they're the best hackers on the group. Twede will disable
the security system, sending Nadia off elsewhere, and now we'll have the
perfect opportunity to infiltrate the factory.
TACTICS: The most important part to note in this scenario is that if you get
within three panels of an enemy LEV, they will spot you. The only way
to prevent your game from ending is to eliminate that LEV before your
turn ends. Because there is no penalization for being seen, you could
ideally take out every enemy with two groups of three units each, or a
single large group, and then search out for the correct entrance.
Speaking of the correct entrance, the correct one is the
upper-right-most entrance. What you will likely want to do, however,
is send one group up to your left and one group up to your right,
and eliminate one enemy LEV at a time. Once you hit the upper-right
corner, you can go into the flashing panels there, and end the battle.
Afterwards, Razma takes a sleep, and Cage hopes Ares and Phil make it.

Ares and Phil.

VICTORY: ???
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
The BIS forces will appear on the battlefield, and start waging combat with the
security forces.
TACTICS: Wait two turns, until Ares and Phil appear on the Blade craft.
Ares and Phil will show up, but as they try to escape, Nadia appears with a
platoon of LEVs. Bolozof appears and tells Nadia to take care of the BIS
members, and then leaves.
VICTORY: Bring Blade to the bottom of the screen!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!/
Blade is destroyed!
TACTICS: Move Blade down to the left, and then go down, keeping out of the
firing and moving distance of the enemy LEVs with your superior
speed. At the same time, on the bottom, start taking out the first
LEV platoon with the BIS forces, and once the second turn is over,
start bringing Testament, Durandal II, and Yukito's LEV up and to the
left to start taking on the forces that are chasing Blade.
Once Cage moves during the fifth turn, Pharsti will alert him that the factory
is set to explode on the sixteenth turn. Thankfully, this is more than a
sufficient amount of time to accomplish the mission, so don't worry too much
about it.
VICTORY: Bring Blade to the bottom of the screen!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!/
Blade is destroyed!/
Sixteenth turn comes!
TACTICS: With the remaining BIS members at the bottom mopping up forces, start
moving more of them up and to the left to help out Blade. All the
while, Testament, Durandal II, and Yukito's LEV all wield powerful
attacks, and should use them as such. With luck, you'll get some
critical hits down, destroying the enemies in single attacks. After a
while, you'll end up fighting against Nadia's Bizac. Depending on if
you can or cannot defeat her within the time given, the aftermath of
this mission will vary slightly. Thankfully, she isn't that hard, as a
single critical hit of Testament's Nail Laser can destroy her Bizac.
During the fighting, make sure you bring Blade down to the bottom,
although if you want to gain as much experience as possible, keep
Blade just above the bottom panels until you destroy all the enemy
LEVs within the area.
Afterwards, Cage will go and drag Nadia out of the factory before it explodes.
Outside, the BIS members will ask Cage why he let Nadia go, Ares says the
hacking was easy, and Ares comforts Phil after Phil is brushed aside once more.
Afterwards, Nadia ponders over her life.

Yukito and Warren are gone to the gym, the girl trio to shopping...Cage and
Warren decide to go annoy people at the hangar. There, Ares cannot decode the
data that he got, but Pharsti gives it a go with her capabilities, and decodes
it.
With Zephyrs, he and Ryan, leader of Ryan Corporation, are talking about
finding "it", and Ryan warns him not to go too far, and offers to take care of
the factory incident. Zephyrs decides to give permission to Bolozof to carry
out a plan.
Back with Cage and co., Pharsti hands over the data, which turns out to be data
on experiments on human subjects. The rest of the data needs to be opened up
with a proper password. Twede then shows up and shows a live news update where
UNSF blames the factory explosion on BIS, and have taken random people off the
streets to execute as BIS members - including Mebius, Semyl, and Myona. BIS
decides to go rescue them, while Twede tells Robin that it isn't in the plans
of the 'higher-ups'.
=-==-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
SCENE TEN
A Pure Heart...And the Price It Pays
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-
VICTORY: Free hostages!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!/
Units with freed hostages are destroyed!
Semyl, Mebius, and Myona are being tied to posts, and Semyl tells Myona the BIS
forces will come. Nadia, also tied, says if somebody did that in the military,
they would lose their position. Bolozof comes in and introduces Amante, his new
assistant, and Amante taunts Nadia, as well as tearing up her ticket to Earth.
Zephyrs comes in and expresses his disbelief at Nadia collaborating with the
terrorists; and Myona seems to know who Zephyrs is. One of the executioner LEVs
will begin to fire when the BIS forces come in and destroy said LEV. Now it's
time to fight.
TACTICS: At the start of the battle, look to your right. You should see another
server here. Move Vjaya right to go over the server on the second
turn, and in the meantime, start breaking through enemy lines with
your other men. Make sure that you keep Razma's LEV supplied - his
Calamity Kiss attack can take out a single LEV in one turn, and will
be very handy in this battle. After turn two is over, Warren and
Yukito will show up, so have them move right and cut off any support
that the enemies are offering to the forces taking on Cage and co.
Once that little part is done, continue moving up, and put Durandal II
and Testament over the three sets of people tied up. Before getting
all three done, make sure to move up any forces that are still on the
bottom of the screen up a bit and into place. Once you liberate all
three sets, this round is done.
After the four ladies are rescued, Mebius will give Nadia a piece of her mind.
Frazer then comes in to take Nadia away, saying that as her teacher, he needs
to save his pupil, and reveals he's no longer part of UNSF or any security
force. Nadia then gives the password to the coded files - ARIEL.
After they disappear, Bolozof, Amante, and some Acemos forces appear. Cage
tells Bolozof he's not going to get away. Bolozof answers he doesn't care about
people dying, and tells Amante that if she can defeat the Animus, then the
Animus isn't worth caring about.
VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!/
Units with freed hostages are destroyed!
TACTICS: Hopefully, you have all your units concentrated in the northern center
part of the map. Anyways, get as much a jump on the Acemos forces as
you can, focusing on the regular LEVs. In the next turn, you'll have
to survive a brief onslaught from the Acemos units, but after that,
you're in the clear - you should have enough power to take out all
the regular units, and cause severe damage to Amante and Bolozof. Once
you're in position, don't let them get away. Amante will go down only
after she's been defeated entirely, but Bolozof will run off after
being dwindled to 30% of his max HP. After that, mop up any enemies
left in the area. If any of your units that picked up hostages are
close to being destroyed, pull them out behind everyone else quickly;
letting them be destroyed here is an automatic game over.
Afterwards. everyone will head back to BIS. Here, Semyl and Razma will get into
another fight with each other, and the three ladies head off. Everyone else
goes to have a rest. At the hangar, Robin will speculate over Pharsti and
metatron, and we'll see a scene with one of the shadow portraits.

Robin's deciphered the rest of the data with the ARIEL password. Turns out
Zephyrs did make the Testament. Ares will say some stuff about roots of words,
and we'll learn Zephyrs was working on a system that had total symbiosis
between frame runner and machine - but at the risk of somebody invading the
symbiosis and controlling the runner. Thankfully, Testament isn't equipped with
said system. Ares has an idea, though, as Myona gets out of bed...

SCENE ELEVEN
Double Deal
-=-=-=-=-=-=
VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!/
Last Ten Turns!
FAILURE: Edge is destroyed!
It's explained that Edge is going to hack the server here and obtain some proof
of Zephyrs' involvement, then escape. However, Amante will then show up with
several LEVs, sans Bolozof. After some more Martian taunting by Amante, we
learn we need to wait out ten turns or defeat all the enemies.
TACTICS: You're actually given nearly the perfect position to fight in your
starting positions. The only thing that you really need to do is to
bring Durandal II to the southwest, where there is a server on one of
the panels out there. Once that's done, rush Durandal II back up. At
the same time, Amante and her men will be coming left; put Mebius and
Yukito in front, and the other three behind. When the enemy LEVs start
getting close, fire at them with no mercy. With a packed defense line,
you should be able to clear out any enemy troops as soon as they come
in. Since you're likely to defeat Amante and her various men before
ten turns are up, you're most likely to win that way.
Afterwards, Deckson calls on everybody to evacutate, as the password has been
changed. Outside, it turns out they were a decoy to let Ares, Cage, and Myona
get into the main facility. After, Warren notes that he has a hunch about Ares
being a bit unusual.
With Robin, turns out her real name is Dana Anderson. Twede comes in and talks
to her a bit about their superiors, and this scene ends.

SCENE TWELVE
Between Good and Evil
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
Out here, we'll see three ladies who say a whole lot of gabblegook in LEVs, and
will destroy two of the three UNSF LEVs that appear. The third one will run off
as unmanned LEVs come in, along with Cage. Cage and the three girls, known as
the Mars Angels, will at least fight together for this battle.
TACTICS: There are two VERY FUNDAMENTAL PARTS TO THIS BATTLE. The first is that
depending on whether you or the Mars Angels destroy more units in this
battle, later on in the game, you will get either a good side of
scene paths, or a bad side. If you destroy more units, you get the
good side. If you destroy less units, you get the bad side. The second
important part here is the server to the left of where Testament is
placed, so be sure to head there. Once the second turn starts, Warren
and Mebius will show up, so now you have three units to wreak havoc
with. Since more units should've gone up your way, take care of them
quickly, while the Mars Angels defeat their enemies. If you want the
bad side, then pull out a bit, and let the Mars Angels defeat your
enemies as well.
Afterwards, Palme gives Cage the data log for the Bonaparte, and the Mars
Angels will leave. Meanwhile, Pharsti will detect four people within the
facility. Inside, we'll see Myona fighting Zephyrs, whom will confess that he
really is responsible for the Bonaparte III's destruction. He also calls her
Subject #479, suggesting some implications, as well as mentioning something
about Myona's brother. Myona will be paralyzed, but Cage's Button will play,
and this time she'll have the force of will to do what she needs. Two UNSF
soldiers will come in, but it turns out it's Razma and Semyl, and they'll pull
a sleep-bomb on Zephyrs and then escape. Outside, Myona will wonder who she is,
and gives the BIS forces the data log. And Yukito will be jealous of Cage for
meeting the Mars Angels.

Turns out we're going to leak this stuff to the press, and the Hellespontos
Broadcasting company. Besides doing this, we're going to have to be on the
lookout for counterattacks. Because of tightened security, Deckson and Mebius
are heading out alone, with Twede for backup.
In Zephyrs' room, he meets up with a partner named Irving, and mentions that
he's given up on obtaining the Animus. He then meets up with somebody who is
supposedly one of the terrorists that has information.
Back at BIS, Phil informs the other members that Deckon is not calling back,
and it seems that Zephyrs' men has Deckson and Mebius trapped. Yukito decides
they need to plan a strategy, whether it starts a battle or not. He also says
that each LEV has a new feature before we have to head out.

SCENE THIRTEEN
The Gift
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
VICTORY: Bizac S is destroyed!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
Apparently Deckson has escaped, but Bolozof still has Mebius. Yukito's father
asks to see the disk of fabrications and lies BIS had, but Bolozof refuses,
saying it has national security at stake. Bolozof calls the search for Deckson
off as the rest of BIS appears. Deckson appears to BIS, and he and Myona goes
to infiltrate the broadcasting tower, and Bolozof tells Cage and co. that they
will not escape from here.
TACTICS: Your forces will be quite outnumbered in this encounter, but that is
no cause. You'll still have a fairly good chance at defeating them.
Although all you have to do is defeat Bolozof in battle, you may as
well take down everyone else for some experience. Anyways, start
moving everyone left until you get close to the double lane street.
Out here, put your Orbital Frames and Yukito at the front of the
battle formation, with the longer-range fighters right behind, and
take on the onslaught of forces that are coming at you. Sometimes
during the skirmish when the enemies begin to slow down momentarily,
take Vjaya and move it left and up some more, and access the
information from the server.
Afterwards, Bolozof reveals Mebius, about to jump off the top of the tower.
Bolozof orders all the BIS units to power down. Outside, son and father Yukito
will meet, and Yukito Senior will give paid justice and hurt his son with
words. However, he also reveals that Myona is just about to start her program
on the Broadcasting channel, and she ends up starting it. BIS 1, Zephyrs 0.

wind of Myona's speech, and watches as she denouces Zephyrs and his actions.

The Card Turned Down

VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
Mebius will be making herself feel all guilty when Deckson comes on deck.
Deckson starts blaming himself, but saves Mebius from suiciding, although he
takes fire from an UNSF soldier.
Down below, Yukito Senior informs Cage and co. of how events have been leading
up, and reveals that they had to set things up so that it would not look like
Yukito authorized the story to go on. He also apologizes to his son for his
earlier words. Mebius calls in and says Deckson is hurt, and while the truth
about Zephyrs is out, Bolozof still has aims to defeat the BIS members.
However, Twede will arrive and unrestrain all the BIS members.
TACTICS: This fight is easy. Your first turn is really more or less a turn of
"Beat the shit out of as many enemy LEVs as you can" turn. And with
the exception of Edge, and *maybe* Caliburnus and Vjaya, all your
LEVs and Orbital Frames should be able to take out one of the opposing
LEVs with one shot. In the enemy's first turn, you'll have to face a
round of dodging a lot of attacks, but once you get the gauntlet back
again, the enemy will drop like flies once more. Unable to stop the
bleeding, you should be able to have totally eliminated enemy forces
by the time the third turn is over. Of course, you'll likely want to
go into a fourth turn, as there is a fight ahead, and all the units
that moved in the last turn will still be out of combat until the next
turn.
Afterwards, Bolozof shows up. He calls out Amante, who says that now that
Zephyrs is over, her job is over too. She also reveals that she isn't exactly
supportive of Earth either...she's a member of BAHRAM. Angry that he was being
used, Bolozof swears to take out BIS for once and for all.
VICTORY: Bizac S is destroyed!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: This is actually a very simple fight. If you waited until round four
of the last battle, you should only have one unit not able to operate
until the next turn. To commemmorate this moment, surround Bolozof,
and pepper fire at him until he finally goes down.
Afterwards, Bolozof exclaims that he will not be killed by them, and self-
destructs.
Inside the studio, Myona is revealing more of Zephyrs' crimes. Yukito Senior
then calls Zephyrs and gives him an opportunity to prove himself innocent. When
Zephyrs tries to make Myona's speech look like lies, he is tricked into saying
too much. Jaeger and Irving then reveal a Handy PC, which has evidence that
Zephyrs was indeed behind the Bonaparte III destruction. Zephyrs slays them in
turn.
Back at the studio, Phil reports Zephyrs coming their way, and Ares offers to
take Myona out of here. Outside, Zephyrs will say stuff about Pharsti amidst
all his ramblings, and reveal his intentions to destroy the TV station.
VICTORY: HarutMarut is destroyed!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!/
HarutMarut approaches the TV Station!
TACTICS: Move your forces to the north-right of the TV station, long-range in
the back, short-range ahead. Once the upgraded Unmanned LEVs start
pouring in, start firing at them without an end. By the time Zephyrs
makes it over to you with the HarutMarut, the Unmanned LEVs should be
for the most part eliminated, with one or two units left to mop up.
With HarutMarut as the primary enemy, surround him at the very least
on the left, right, and bottom sides. Although he has 10000 HP, he
bleeds life, and the fact that he has three large critical hit spots
doesn't help. Once you down him, he'll come back as an Orbital Frame
with 20000 HP. This time, concentrate all firepower on him if there
are still Unmanned LEVs left, until you finally take down HarutMarut.
Afterwards, Zephyrs mentions something about a person named Vale and associates
it with the Animus, then moves to the broadcasting tower where he sets
HarutMarut on self-destruct mode. However, Vjaya comes out and destroys the
Orbital Frame before it succeeds in doing so. Just as Cage and Ares talk over
old times, the Black Frame comes out! Ares calls it Iblis, and it promptly
attacks him, killing him in the process. Alternatively, Zephyrs will accuse
Ares of blowing up the Bonaparte III, but Ares will self-destruct to stop
Zephyrs as Zephyrs runs away.

how he feels alone, Myona needs it shut off. Phil then comes in and tells the
two to come to the conference room. Back in here, it's learned that riots are
happening over the place, what with the recent revelations, and they need to
stop it. Robin suggests that they need to add fuel to the fire by helping the
rioters, but Warren rebuffs, saying that doing so would cause a catastrophe.
After the BIS members leave to stop the riots, Twede confronts Robin over stuff
about the higher ups and himself.

VICTORY: Destroy all rioting and UNSF forces!

Rioting LEVs will take out an UNSF LEV, then a protesting citizen LEV. However,
more UNSF forces will come to repress the civilians. The BIS members then show
up and reveal how they intend to stop both rioter and UNSF. Time to turn to the
Dark Side, young one </wit>.
TACTICS: What to do...what to do....actually, it's quite simple in this case.
What you should try to do first is just wait a turn. During this time,
the civilian and UNSF LEVs will start attacking each other, doing some
substantial damage. During the second turn, bring Testament and
Orcrist down to the left side, and a second turn of the UNSF and
rioting LEVs beating the crap out of each other will occur. On the
third turn, have Testament and Orcrist get over the server, then bring
your other forces down a bit so they're within a reasonable attacking
range. From here, wait some more for UNSF and rioters to fight each
other, and eliminate all those whom stray off the path to fight you.
Once one side begins to ultimately lose, step in and take out everyone
you can in one turn, then mop the rest up in the next turn.
After, the civilians will run off, and Pharsti notes the burned city. Cage will
suddenly go mad and laugh his head off, mocking his achievements, and stating
his life is worthless. Back at BIS, the members discuss Cage and what is
causing this, and they'll notice Myona missing. In the hangar, Cage will tell
Myona to leave him alone, and Pharsti will talk to Myona. Something very odd
will happen, and the scene ends.

Out here, it's figured out that the enemies are using stealth abilities. Yukito
then reveals everyone has anti-stealth programs installed, and reveals two
enemies. The leader is also revealed, and it's decided to take him out.
TACTICS: Start off by moving all units left except for Yukito, whom should
battle the two units that he discovered. You'll encounter a nest of
four enemies. Once they're down, go left some more to fight three more
enemies. Once you've taken out eight enemies, all the enemies will
throw away their stealth, and Twede will show up in Vjaya. From here
on in, plow through the enemies to your left, and head over to the
leader. If you don't want the experience at the moment, take out the
leader right here and now. If you do, however, want some experience,
you should instead go and take on the other LEVs first before coming
back and destroying the leader.
The rioters will run off, mentioning something about a leader of their's. If
you've got the Paradise Lost scene, you'll also see a scene with Tim Frazer.
Inside, Twede refuses to give Robin's location, and says the Robin Foundation
can no longer support them. Nevertheless, he'll help them escape. Razma and
Twede turn the conversation to Cage, and self-guilt will make Cage quit. Before
Cage leaves, Warren tells him to never put blame on somebody else, and that
Cage should act for himself.

decide to make sport of Cage when they spot him - until the BIS forces appear

asks to be able to rejoin BIS. However, out comes a man whom is supposed to be

then try to go and squash Cage, but Cage calls on Pharsti, who unfortunately
does not have Myona with her. BAHRAM forces will appear to aid Ned, and now
it's a war of anti-Earth faction against faction.
TACTICS: For the time being, concentrate all your fire on Ned before he can be
a threat. You have the easy advantage on your side; Ned is in the
middle of enemy territory, and you can quickly surround him and take
him out in a manner of only a few mere attacks. Yes, he really is that
easy. (However, if you're playing A Bow Drawn, he'll run off and be
in Zephyrs' HarutMarut, so follow after Zephyrs and fight him. The
first time he falls, he'll rise again, and you'll have to take him
out again. Attack him head on with a few close-combatants, such as
Yukito and Cage, and leave the long-range attackers behind to take
out the incoming LEVs. HarutMarut 2nd form will fall at less than
50% HP).
After, the operator of Ned's LEV is...a brain! Turns out that Ned's brain is
operating the LEV, and is his real body. Twede will then appear, with
explosives on his LEV, ready to take out Ned's recuperated body. Robin will
then appear with an old transport vessel, and note that Testament's right hand
has changed. Robin reveals Twede locked her up, and tries to play the guilt
card on Twede, trying to convince him not to suicide. Twede will then pilot to
Ned, and self-destruct; but he's escaped mere seconds before. Now we have to
fight the rest of the enemies off before we can board the Saoshyant.
VICTORY: Destroy all BAHRAM forces/
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: This is a pretty simple fight from now on, though it might be a tad
on the more difficult side for those not skillful at IAS. You will
basically have a lot of BAHRAM forces from all sides, so start off by
bring your forces to the lower right part, the place with the lowest
concentration. Defeat the enemies that are here, then turn around and
take on the enemies coming in from the left, and finally start
defeating the enemies that are coming from the upper-left area - the
group with the highest concentration. Once you've defeated that part,
you've won the battle.
If you're in A Bow Drawn, more likely than not you've got your forces
concentrated in the upper-right corner, so take out who you can when
you're given free reign again, and move your anti-HarutMarut forces
down. The next turn should be the decisive hits, and after that, the
turn the enemies get will barely do anything. From there, you can do
a simple mop-up and win the battle.
Afterwards, we learn that the Saoshyant is really the hideout, and the hideout
was a freight ship buried underground. Deckson's also up, and after some words
between him and Cage, we fly off to a hiding point. If you were on A Bow Drawn,
Cage offers Phil an apology and Yukito mentions that there were strange
characters on the anti-stealth chips he installed, which Deckson takes a look
at.
READ: From now on, depending on who eliminated more enemies in Scene 12, you
will take either a good ending path or a bad ending path that is more
drastic in differences than earlier scenes. Moreinformation is available
in Section 4.

After learning that the Saoshyant is hidden from sensor, Ares is shown on TV!
Under the name of Vale Shatner, he's raising resistance to Earth for Mars'
freedom, and is the leader of the organized rioters. Phil then comes in and
reveals that Razma and Warren, who were doing patrolling, are not responding.
The BIS members will then head outside.

VICTORY: Destroy all enemy forces!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
After Phil runs off, enemies show up with stealth frames.
TACTICS: For the first turn, go down and take out the only enemy that you can
get a chance to take a jab at.
Ares/Vale will show up in the Black Frame, and reveals that he was the one who
directed the Black Frame, called Iblis, to sink the Bonaparte III. He also
reveals that his entire family was used for Zephyrs' experiments, and his
parents were killed by Zephyrs. After some more taunting, he calls out Phil,
who's switched sides. Phil is ticked at Cage for taking credit all the time
(and Myona taking Cage over Phil doesn't help), and he attacks the imprisoned
Razma and Warren to prove he means business. After, Ares/Vale leaves, dropping
a hint that he knows where Myona is. Pharsti also reveals more enemies are
laying in ambush.
VICTORY: Lower Phil's HP to 20%-
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!/
No battle with Phil's frame by Turn 11
TACTICS: Start off by taking out the enemies that are right near you. Next,
start moving left, and you'll encounter another nest of foes to take
out. Once you eliminate the four frames that are here, continue on
left to the upper-left corner of the screen, where you'll encounter
a third screen of three Raptors. Take them out, and then head down to
where Phil is. After a brief chat, you'll have to encounter him in
combat. Don't give him any mercy - take him out as soon as possible
before he can become too much of a threat.
Afterwards, Phil reveals that he hates Cage because Cage got liked too fast,
and Phil wants to prove his worth with an Orbital Frame. Deckson will suddenly
intervene in communications and tells Phil to stop, but Phil will run away.
Nevertheless, Razma and Warren are still alive.
Back at BIS, Razma and Warren are OK, and Razma asks Semyl if she's over Ares.
Robin will then explain Phil's earlier accusation about her being an agent of
NUT: Until recently, she was a member of an NUT division that basically covered
up incidents that could bring down the company. She also funded BIS to get
battle data and fuel the fires for anti-Earth tensions, perfect for NUT.
However, she's quit now, and is helping out BIS without any lies. Cage will end
the scene wondering if things could ever be what they once were.

Jaeger talks to Zephyrs about the HarutMarut, and orders him to terminate

mysterious man named Jimmer comes in, and orders Zephyrs along. Back at BIS,
it's learned that apparently Myona operated Testament without using Pharsti,
and they thus cannot locate her.
Yukito's father will then communicate with BIS, and inform them of a military
movement on the trans-Mars railroad - and civilians with military LEVs are
moving to stop it. Cage and co. decides to go. Phil will ask Cage about Myona,
and decides to be happy for the two of them.

VICTORY: Defeat all enemies + Defuse
all bombs by Turn 11!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!/
Bombs not defused by Turn 11!
Deckson begins his time of riding Vjaya, and Phil shows off his new transport
vessel - an upgraded Blade called Calibur. It's also figured out the enemies
are using stealth. A civilian LEV will then show up, and after some talk, we
learn we have to defuse some bombs by Turn 11 and take out some civilians too.
TACTICS: Start off by sending Yukito, Cage, Deckson, and Warren in their
respective frames up north. Send the other four units up-rightish.
Once the former four get up to the train line, they should start
heading right, and uncover a nest of enemy rioting LEVs. At about the
same time, your second group should be near up to the LEVs. The first
unit should start off by directly going head-to-head with the rioters,
uncovering more enemies on the bridge at the same time, while the
second group should act as a thorn in the rioters' side. Once the
guards are cleared out, start moving onto the bridge, and try to
maneuver Testament so he gets onto one of the bomb-panels and still be
able to cut down enemies at the same time. Just to reference, only
Testament can defuse bombs.
Afterwards, the BIS forces will back off to watch the incoming train. More
rioters will come out with bombs, but the train will start, supposedly having
gotten a warning ahead of time. The two sides will begin to fight, but
suddenly, Ares shows up on TV! Apparently, he's the leader of the rioters.
After, Ares shows up in person, and directs a giant beam of light that destroys
the entire UNSF force. Ares will leave, and Cage will try to follow him, only
to be stopped by Bolozof! Bolozof talks about Mars becoming a battlefield, and
Nadia shows up to accuse Cage of taking the anti-stealth chips from Frazer, and
is bloodlust. Bolozof and Nadia will leave, and the BIS members with them.
Back at BIS, Ares is on TV again, where he denounces Earth's policies,
declares Mars independent, and asks all Martians to join him against Earth or
else. After, Ares contacts BIS, and tells them he needs Testament. He then
reveals some important details, and says that he's at the oxygen plant at West
Hellespontos. After, Deckson tells Cage to make the choice, saying that he
can't, since he always believed that he mirrored Mars' will.

in, and a battle will start soon. Robin's also done some work on Blade,
upgrading it into the transport vehicle Calibur.

Clawing the Red Earth
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
VICTORY: Destroy all enemy forces!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
Rioters will show up, and it's decided that we have to stop them.
TACTICS: This is actually a very simple fight. For the first turn, take the
front line of units and move them right one space each. After the
enemies have each moved twice, they'll be one or two panels within
range of attacking you in the next turn, but they'll have wasted their
turn; thus, on your turn, you can use your frames' most powerful
attacks on the rioting LEVs, taking out a good number of their forces.
Whatever is left (probably not more than 3 if you're a good fighter
and operator at the IAS) will make meager attacks against you, and
then you can return in favor and destroy the rest of their forces.
Afterwards, Pharsti will detect the UNSF LEVs, and Myona will then show up. She
tells Cage that she had a good time with him, and then Amante shows up and does
something to Myona. Cage tries to go to her, but Phil intervenes and stops him.
Myona then lets out a giant burst of light. The UNSF LEVs are listening to
Ares'/Vale's speeches on TV about the Earth's tyranny, when the burst of light
destroys them all. Back to Cage, the other three are gone, and Pharsti suggests
leaving, saying that her circuits were burned in the battle.
Back at BIS, Ares/Vale is on TV again, where he denounces Earth's policies,
declares Mars independent, and asks all Martians to join him against Earth or
else. After, Ares/Vale contacts BIS, and tells them he needs Testament. He
reveals that Pharsti is really Myona - Myona was supposed to take Testament off
of the Bonaparte III, but when she met Cage, she subconciously wanted to help
him, put a part of herself in Testament, and lost her memory. See, Myona is one
of those able to communicate with machines through brainwaves, and another of
Zephyrs' test subjects.
After, Deckson tells Cage to make the choice, saying that he can't, since he
always believed that he mirrored Mars' will.

Robin will go to talk with Deckson, asking him if Frazer is dead. Deckson shows
proof otherwise in the form of the code on the anti-stealth chips, revealing
that he and Frazer were, in a way, childhood friends. Deckson will speculate
over his life and the cause of his actions to Robin, and reveals that he knows
her Dana Anderson of NUT identity. After some more chit-chat, they get back to
the bridge. At the bridge, Cage wants to stop Ares, because he thinks taking
Mars' independence by revolution leads to a very bleak future. When approached
with Myona, Phil mentions something about her being a test subject, and our
destination is the oxygen plant. Semyl will give the cue to head off.
Elsewhere, we'll see Myona approached by Jimmer, in a room that has a Self-
Binder in it, and Jimmer reveals that they need to control Myona for their own
motives.

VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!/
Enemies approach Saoshyant!
After some tactical discussion on the seawater, a new type of enemy unit will
show up, and we'll have to fight them.
TACTICS: Keep your units locked in the cage that they're in at the beginning of
the battle, and take the initial attacks against the enemy. Once they
start moving in and get their first attack in, unleash hell against
them. They'll get a second semi-strong attack in, but after that,
they'll finally all fall.
Nadia will then show up, intent on avenging Frazer and helping out Bolozof.
VICTORY: Defeat Scarmiglione!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!/
Enemies approach Saoshyant!
TACTICS: Form your units into two different lines, both guarding the Saoshyant.
Move right, and take out all the Raptors that get right into your
path. Continue right, and send a single of your Orbital Frames off
your blockade to get onto the server. Once you approach Nadia, reroute
your own forces and surround her from four sides so she cannot escape.
From here, merely blast the hell out of her until she falls.
Afterwards, Nadia will not deign to surrender, but Bolozof will call her back.
Pharsti says that Scarmiglione has the same feel as Testament, and Cage
believes it to be a self-binder.
Back at the Saoshyant, we learn that BAHRAM is backing Bolozof up, and a bit of
history will come up about BAHRAM. BAHRAM is still quiet over the recent
incidents, and Robin tells Cage that Ares might truly not be what he was like.
Warren and Mebius will have a private conversation where Warren reveals he was
once like Cage, not wanting to suspect his friends. Cage asks Pharsti what it
means to be a friend, and they too get a bit of talk together.

Deckson will speculate over his life and how he's growing old to Mebius, and
what his actions have caused. Mebius tells him that they're not perfect, and
that they should make up for what they've done. At the bridge, Cage wants to
stop Ares, because he thinks taking Mars' independence by revolution leads to a
very bleak future. Semyl then pressures him into answering the question of
Myona; Cage will rescue her no matter what, no matter how idealistic it seems.
Deckson recaps, saying Ares will attack West Hellespontos if Testament is not
handed over, and Twede shows up with a list of strategic locations to fire the
beam from. Robin then reveals she got NUT to back up BIS with funding again,
through anti-BAHRAM officials and flirts. Yukito will have a toast, and Twede
will then take Saoshyant to the main location.
However, on the way, we'll intercept SOS signals and land in one of the
spheres.

VICTORY: Destroy all enemy forces!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
Here, we'll meet up with Amante, and Mebius will be shocked with the
destruction. Phil will also show up and ignore Deckson's words, saying the
battle's between him and Cage.
TACTICS: For the first turn, move Vjaya to the left and the rest of your units
up to where Phil is coming in from. For the second turn, move Vjaya up
closer to the server, but out of range of the enemy LEVs' attack. By
this time, Phil should have been attracted to your main task force,
thus trapping him inside your field of range. In the third turn, place
Vjaya over the server to download the new attacks, then start raining
fire on Phil. For extra experience, try to attack some of the other
enemy LEVs so that your last possible attack defeats Phil, as the
mission ends when Phil is defeated. Of course, you could ideally also
go over the third turn and try to defeat all other enemy forces before
taking on Phil, but it can be real painful due to a lot of enemy LEVs
being on the battlefield.
After, Ares/Vale reveals that Phil's escape pod is stuck and that his OF is set
to explode in a 1 km radius, and the rest of the rioters will leave. Deckson
goes over to Phil and moves the Orbital Frame after a telling-off of Phil, but
dies in the resulting explosion. Back at BIS, Calibur has been abandoned, and
Phil is nowhere to be found. Twede suggests heading to the spot the enemies
will attack from soon, and Robin comes in. Everyone will decide to go stop
Ares/Vale and co. right now, after some mourning over Deckon.

VICTORY: Destroy all enemy forces!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
Phil will be unable to identify Marlblanke's location, Cage hears a ringing in
his ear, and a crapload of BAHRAM forces show up. Afterwards, Cage realizes the
Metatron in his frame are resonating.
TACTICS: Don't move right towards the enemies. Instead, assemble a 4x2 line of
units, with the long-range attackers in the front, short-range
attackers in back. The Raptors will be the quickest units of all, and
due to their characteristic of going ahead too far, they'll be easy
pickings before the other units can come in and aid them. Once the
Raptors are done for, move the short-range fighters ahead of the
long-range fighters IF the other enemies are still on the move. If the
rest of the BAHRAM force is in position, go and take them on with the
more powerful short-combat units, and those that have useful
long-range attacks (ie. Yukito and ZZ Grenade) should stick behind
and cause damage where he can do the most good. The enemies will get
one harmful shot at you with a lot of might, but that'll be it; the
next turn will see their forces scoured, and the turn after that
should more likely than not be their downfall.
Afterwards, Pharsti tells Cage that Ares is probably along a ways, and we head
out a bit. Out here, we meet Ares, who laughs at Cage talking about friendship.
Cage asks for a chance to talk to the real Ares, and gets it if he can defeat
the new Orbital Frame.
VICTORY: Nerokerubina is destroyed!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: This is really a very easy battle. Merely let Ares and the
Nerokerubina approach you, and after his second movement, use one of
the Testament's attacks (Halberd should be open to you) against him to
make the first damage. When he moves a third time, he should be within
firing range of most if not all of your units, and will fall very
shortly afterwards thanks to this and his single-unit approach.
After, Cage's button plays, and Ares comes back to his senses. Ares mentions
something about Pharsti when Bolozof comes in and tries to attack Cage. Ares
takes it, and lives although his Orbital Frame is destroyed. Zephyrs then
appears and reveals some things, including that he was using Cage for battle
data, and Nadia appears with Testament-lookalikes - the Ifrit. Zephyrs and
Bolozof then leave, giving Nadia orders to stop Cage long enough for the
factory to explode.
VICTORY: Scarmiglione is destroyed!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: Unfortunately, Nadia's force can possibly move in perfect unison.
However, once they get near Cage and co., they'll break up and fall
apart. Take advantage of this by arranging your forces and gunning
down the Raptors and Ifrits as they come. Several of your BIS members
will be able to take an Ifrit down with one shot (Testament's
Halberd, Orcrist's Bounder, Yukito's ZZ Grenade, Durandal II's
Avelcaine), so try to take an Ifrit out when you get the chance.
Otherwise, have the Raptors as your primary target, then take out the
Ifrits, and lastly, Nadia. Or, if you wanted to, you could just
defeat Nadia before anything else and win the battle quickly.
Afterwards, Pharsti will indicate that Nadia's frame is the object that has all
the explosives in. If Scarmiglione explodes, the oxygen plant will be damaged.
Deckson then goes and takes Nadia's frame away, speculates to Cage over life,
and dies in the explosion.
Back at BIS, Razma will get his anger out of the way, then everyone decides
they have no time to mourn after getting some of it out of the way. BIS then
decides they have to stop BAHRAM.

FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
Ned appears, and is revealed to have the stealth control device. It's decided
to take out Ned for once and for all, and stop Ares/Vale's plan to destroy West
Hellespontos in the meantime.
TACTICS: Simply move north-west in the direction that Ned's Orbital Frame is
in. On your way, you'll encounter a nest of five enemy LEVs. Once they
have been dispatched, continue on your way to Ned. Once you reach Ned,
you'll uncover his personal bodyguard of four Raptors. Take care of
these enemies, then go and converge your units on Ned until he finally
falls.
Unfortunately, Ned will run away again. Myona will then appear, and when Cage
tries to call to her, Amante appears and tells him she's a puppet. Amante makes
Cage feel guilty and tells a bit of what Myona is doing, then reveals that to
stop the attack, Cage needs to destroy the cockpit of the Nerokerubina.
VICTORY: Approach/Fight Nerokerubina!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: Let the Raptors and Amante's Orbital Frame come to you instead of
going to them. Once they get within shooting range, fire at them. Once
all four have been eliminated, take Cage and head over to where the
Nerokerubina is.
Pharsti will ignore Cage and try to attack the cockpit; however, Phil comes in
and severs the link between energy flow and Orbital Frame. With the energy
gone, Myona is slowly become a bit more sane. However, Amante comes out and
kills Phil, but as a result, it makes Myona snap out of it. Amante then steals
Myona out as the broken Nerokerubina begins to self-destruct. Everyone else
retreats before it can hit them.
Back at the Saoshyant, Twede confirms the destruction of Marlblanke, and
everyone will mourn the deaths of Phil and Deckson. Cage go talks to Pharsti,

Attack Raptors containing children!
A civilian LEV will show up and try to give BIS some children, but then Ned
appears as a part of BAHRAM and destroys him. Twede then shows up in Vjaya, and
gives us background information on Ned's past. Raptors carrying children show
up with Self-Binder programs; we have to defeat them by standing right next to
them and then attacking them.
TACTICS: You should really stay in the formation you're kept in. The Raptors
that will come to you will attack Testament first, and merely by
attacking you, they also surrender the children that they're holding,
taking away a task that you might have to do later. Once they've been
disarmed, you can shoot them long-range with your other units, or
otherwise bring a few more units up to fight them hand-to-hand while
keeping Testament ahead of the bunch. Once the Raptors and LEVs have
been taken care of, the Mummyheads and Cyclops and Ravana will come
down. At this point in time, send Twede right, and up as the enemies
start attacking your main chain. Once the Mummyheads and Cyclops are
down, Vjaya should have gone right and up to get to the server, and
downloaded some new moves. After that, move Vjaya back to your main
group as you take down Ned and the Ravana.
Afterwards, Ned will bring in three more Raptors that have the children from
Semyl's orphanage. They run away as three Cyclops come in. Unfortunately for
Ned, his frame is beyond repair, and he's been backstabbed as he doesn't count
as a frame runner. He tells Cage that people will only judge him by appearance,
they will betray him, and reveals that Myona's in the factory ahead and is
performing experiments with the children and self-binders. Finally, he explodes
and dies a permanent death.
VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: This is a pretty simple fight, considering it's just three Cyclops.
Wait for them to come to you, and then converge on them and destroy
them to end this battle for once and for all.
Afterwards, Pharsti confirms a jammer, meaning she doesn't know where the
children have gone. Twede doesn't know anything either, thanks to all the
confusion. After Warren acts up, Razma talks Semyl up, and says he might know
where the children are.
At a lab, Jimmer and Zephyrs will talk about Ned while Zephyrs exposes Jimmer's
real identity, and Zephyrs then calls in Bolozof to shoot Jimmer. Bolozof
shoots Zephyrs instead, but feels an immense pain while he's at it. Zephyrs is
still alive, but encounters a mysterious figure.

Enemies approach Saoshyant!
Saoshyant will be ambushed, and the BIS members will surround the defenseless
Saoshyant, hoping to defend it, Robin included. Myona will appear, and Cage
tells her he will get the real her. Pharsti will do a small amount of thinking
as well.
TACTICS: What you need to do here is protect the Saoshyant at all costs, and
your best bet at succeeding in this is to keep in the defense ring
that you are placed in at the beginning of the scene. Your first turn
will consist primarily of shooting long-range. The enemies will then
close in on you, with about half of them in striking range; endure it.
Once your turn comes by again, demolish as many as you can, and then
take the rest of the raptors out in the third turn. From here on in,
set up a line of six of your units so that they guard the bridge, then
advance forward with two units in front (preferably OFs) until you
hit Myona. Strike her once.
Zephyrs will appear once more in his HarutMarut, and call Myona over,
commanding her to destroy the BIS members. More Raptors will appear along with
a new unit called the Cyclops, and Pharsti reveals that stopping Zephyrs will
cause Myona to snap out of it.
VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!

TACTICS: Keep your line in place, and this time, hold it and wait for the
Raptors and Cyclops to come to you. When they do that, eliminate them
at point-blank range, and do NOT let them past your line. Once the
regular task force has been decimated, take out Vjaya (and replace it
if it was in your line) and send it east towards the server to
download some new moves. Besides that, keep your line steady, and
fight Myona when she comes - once she drops below 50%, she'll retreat.
With her out of the way, Zephyrs will come to you at last. Eliminate
him for once and for all.
Zephyrs says the abilities granted by Metatron will elevate humanity to a new
level. After some philosophical talk, however, he finally dies in a self-
explosion. Pharsti reveals him to only be alive thanks to Metatron. Back in the
Saoshyant, Twede reveals things a bit more on Zephyrs, and Robin reveals their
interest. After, everyone is more determined to stop Ares.

Razma and Yukito have set things up so they can hack into the Earth

earlier back when he thought something like this might happen once more. After
Phil and Semyl express their disgust and then change their minds, Phil suddenly

VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!/
Enemies approach Saoshyant!
We'll finally meet up with Jimmer, and he admits that BAHRAM did not plan on
what Ned did. He also says he merely helped Ares sink the Bonaparte III, and
reveals that ten years ago, Zephyrs tested military weapons on a ship, killing
most of the passengers; except for two siblings, Vale and Pharsti Shatner.
After some more talk about the Animus series, Bolozof shows up with four
Ifrits, revealing that he used the resonance of Testament to find Cage. Twede
will need three turns to hack the satellite, Jimmer will leave, and now we
fight.
TACTICS: First and foremost is the note that Testament can act twice in a turn
from now on. Anyways, bring your units in downwards to surround
Saoshyant, and leave an opening only in the south-right corner. Take
out the two Raptors that come at you right away, then wait for the
four Cyclops to hit you from four sides. Take them out quickly, then
when the Mummyheads come in from the top, send Durandal II up to stop
them in their tracks. At about this time, the Saoshyant will be able
to retreat, so take everyone else and focus them on the Ifrits coming
in from the southwest. Like the last time you faced the Ifrits, they
should not be too hard to take time, especially considering that your
OFs are stronger now, and that Testament has two turns instead of just
one. Once they're done, wait on the Grafficane to come in, and
also another Ifrit from the northwest, and then once you're done
defeating both of them, there's another victory in for you.
After Bolozof falls, he realizes that the BIS members have grown stronger, but
refuses to believe it. Jimmer then appears and summons Bolozof, revealing that
the Grafficane had a self-binder on it. Bolozof will be renewed with interest
to defeat BIS, and Jimmer will disappear again. Also, when you defeat Nadia in
that last Ifrit, she will be satisfied with serving to the death, finally
dying.
VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: If you haven't defeated Nadia yet, do so now, and then wait on Bolozof
to come back down in his Grafficane. Once he does, surround him and
give him no forte; destroy him quickly.
Bolozof's frame will explode and Bolozof will finally die. Everyone will get
into the Saoshyant as we see a mysterious figure remain behind. Back on the
Saoshyant, Jimmer is revealed as being the mastermind behind this whole thing,
and some speculation is put forward as to who or what Pharsti and Testament
really are. Saoshyant will then head forth to where Myona is.
Cage and Pharsti then have a talk, about being partners and friendship.

After a discussion on maintenance and spiritual conflicts, Yukito gets Cage to
define friendship. Afterwards, Warren and Twede reveal that they will be
jumping off from the Saoshyant to the oxygen plant, via using the Orbital
Frames to put the regular frames on the ground. To solve the problem of
Calibur, Twede's locked up Robin to keep her safe. Nevertheless, Robin will
have a few tricks up her sleeve.

VICTORY: Ravana is destroyed!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
After landing problems are smoothed out, Robin comes down in a parachute with
Calibur. Ned will then show up, a bit surprised that Zephyrs is dead, and once
more swears to take out BIS, revealing that Ares is in the back in the
meantime.
TACTICS: Move your units around so that you have a strong line-up, and then
wait for the combination of Raptors, Cyclops, Armored LEVs, and the
new unit called Mummy Head to come to you. Once they come, get into
position and start firing. In the second or third turn of battling
(depending on whether you want to defeat Ned quickly or leave him for
last), take Vjaya and go northwards and onto the server. Once he
downloads the data, move it back down, and continue the fighting with
Ned and his forces until Ned has been eradicated.
Afterwards, Ned will try to switch LEV bodies, but will suffer a communication
failure and be destroyed. After that, Amante will come in and after offering
some word poetry, tries to stop Cage.
VICTORY: Scarmiglione is destroyed!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: Form into your protective line again, and wait for the Grafficanes
coming down from the northeast. When they come in, start peppering
fire at them, and when Amante and her Cyclops come in, divert your
force into two groups - one to take on the Grafficanes, the other on
Amante. If you want to end this battle swiftly, take out Amante as
soon as possible to win the battle. Otherwise, take out the
Grafficanes and Cyclops, then take out Amante.
Afterwards, Amante reveals she always had boyfriends who only cared about how
she looks. She convinces Cage to help her into death, but changes her mind,
giving him some wisdom, then dies with the explosion of Scarmiglione. Cage
heads on to find Ares.
After warnings of high energy, Ares comes out in the Marlblanke. Cage asks what
he would do with Testament, and Ares reveals that Testament is equipped with a
special Mindflow System that can be used by anyone, and is the only one in
existence. Cage will then play his button, and reveals that Ares is being
controlled. We'll then fight after some more chat.
VICTORY: Iblis' HP reduced to 50%-!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: For the first two turns, hold your position, only moving your units
around to accomodate the enemy forces that are coming to you very
soon. Once they do come, take out the Raptors first, then focus on the
Grafficanes. At the same time, Ares/Vale will have come down in Iblis;
ignore him until the majority of the Raptors and Grafficanes have been
eliminated. After that, you can choose either between eliminating
Iblis, or mopping up the rest of the Raptors and Grafficanes along
with the incoming Cyclops, then taking out Iblis.
After, Ares will be back to normal, but warns Cage off, saying he doesn't want
to see him. Myona appears and tells Cage to back off, and that if he follows,
it really is goodbye between the three of them. After, Pharsti forces a retreat
on Cage.
Back at BIS, Razma feels something missing, but unfortunately, there will be no
final battle. Warren tells Cage that Ares has made his own decision, and Cage
heads off to find Pharsti. Talking to Pharsti, they'll talk about 'home', and
they'll decide to fly out. Warren intervenes, but Cage retorts; he's just
making his own decision and following his own destiny. The rest will hope.

VICTORY: HarutMarut2 is destroyed!

Ifrit's with kids on them are attacked!
TACTICS: At this point in time, this is beginning to be a bit ridiculous.
The Ifrits will present a difficult problem, and trying to keep track
of which Ifrits have the three children on them will be a chore.
If you're not willing to try and go on a big expedition of killing
and all, there IS one thing you can try and do, and that is to take
Testament, whom still has a double-attack-per-turn movement, and move
it up to HarutMarut2 while running away from resistance, and taking
out many of the enemies on your way. Meanwhile, the rest of the group
can follow, taking out their own enemies. Once HarutMarut2 is
destroyed and reappears, take that out too, while the rest of BIS
comes to Testament and concentrates on picking off the enemies (with
the exception of the Ifrits bearing the children).

VICTORY: Approach Nerokerubina with Testament!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!/
Nerokerubina is destroyed!
Cage will meet with Jimmer of BAHRAM fame, who will go into auto-bastard mode.
Myona will appear as Jimmer appears, and tells Cage he must be stopped. She
then reveals up ahead is Zephyrs' secret lab, with a Metatron Lab, Ares, and
the second Marlblanke. From here, Ares can wipe out the entire planet, and
believes it right because of the Martians' inability to stand up. A giant force
of BAHRAM forces is then summoned, but the BIS members will then show up to
help out.
TACTICS: Wait out the first two turns, arranging your forces into three
different groups; Testament, a Yukito + Durandal II + Vjaya group,
and a sniping group with the rest of the members. Using them, have
Testament act as a single unit, plowing through everything that gets
near it. The Vjaya group should also do the same thing, but with more
coordination between the three members, and the snipers should stay
out of the central conflict area. Of course, there's more to this
battle than what you think there is at first; both Testament and
Vjaya will be able to act twice per turn during this battle. This
means that a fully powered Testament could take out two units per
turn, and Vjaya will be no piece of cake either. The first
counterattack from the enemies will be brutal, though; but once you
withstand that, your own counterattack should be decimated. Once you
feel you've accomplished enough here, go and approach the Orbital
Frame Nerokerubina with Testament.
From now on, I'm going into my stance of not spoiling end game story. For now,
go to the right OF (though it might be random), and stuff will occur.

Promised Reunion
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
VICTORY: Defeat all enemies!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: Move Cage up a miniscule amount, and wait for the Ifrits to come to
you. With his double attack, he should be able to clear out two or
three of the Ifrits before reinforcements arrive. When they do, have
them concentrate on taking out the rest of the Ifrits, and direct Cage
up to the northwest and into the large mine that's up there.
After you defeat all the units, more units will arrive.
VICTORY: Iblis is destroyed!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: Start moving your BIS units up to the mine, but take Cage and sneak
him past all the Ifrit guards and up to Iblis, along with Twede in the
Vjaya. Reaching Iblis, you should take the Black Frame out as quick
as possible, while the rest of the units take out the Ifrits that get
close to them. Once you finish off Iblis, your victory is complete.
More units show up.
VICTORY: Grafficane is destroyed!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: Reorganize yourself, and wait for the Mummy Heads and Cyclops to show
up. You can take them out if you wish; however, this is the final
battle, and Grafficane, being naturally faster than the Mummy Heads
and Cyclops, will stray ahead of the former. Once he gets within
shooting range, bust a cap on his ass and never look back.
After, enjoy your ending.

TACTICS: That's quite the mighty force there. Set up all your forces so that
the mightiest of your close-combat units are up front, and keep your
long-range very close so that they can take out enemies before they
can hit your lines. Because once they do, it will be hell when the
forces under Jimmer launch their counterstrike. When you survive the
chaos that his men can do to you, take them out as fast as possible,
and don't let up; sacrifice an opening if you have to to eliminate
your enemies. But don't take out Jimmer fast, either. If you wait,
you'll have to do a routine mop-up of the rest of the forces
afterwards, so take out the Ravana's supporting forces first, then
the Revana itself.
Stuff.
VICTORY: Destroy the Iblis!
FAILURE: Testament is destroyed!
TACTICS: So, here it is....the final battle at once....Mop up any forces you
left behind from the last battle, and then let the Iblis come to you

Battling in this game is rather simple, so I'll try to keep it short.
------
Moving
------
When it's your turn, your units on the map should be colored blue. Hover the
cursor over one of them, and press A. Doing so will allow you to select this
specific unit, and you can choose to move your unit. Panels around the unit
will flash blue - this is the range of the area that your LEV/Frame/Vehicle can
move within the current turn. Once the unit has ended it's turn, it will turn
grey, signifying it's inability to do any more for the turn.
---------
Attacking
---------
Attacking is easy, along the lines of Moving. You select your unit, and you can
do two things; if, at the start of the turn, you are within range, you can fire
a long-range attack at an enemy. If not, you can alternatively move right up to
the enemy, and then attack them with a short-range hit.
Some of your weapons may be lacking ammo. If this is the case, then you merely
have to move a Blade straight up to said unit and supply it with the ammo so it
can fire with more attacks available.
However, the actual attacking is something that's out of the usual. Instead of
the game calculating seeds and stuff to determine damage, you instead are
thrust into a semi-action battle. The enemy will be placed against a 2D
backdrop, and it will move around. You will have a cursor that acts as
crosshairs, and you must move it around onto the enemy and press A to cause
damage. Additionally, a red heart exists in the center of the enemy unit, and
if you can hit it, you will cause critical damage.
---------
Upgrading
---------
In the intermission between most scenes (but not all, such as 13 and 14, for
storyline reasons), you will be able to access a garage. In this garage, you
will be able to upgrade the components of the LEVs and vehicles (but not the
Orbital Frames). By using money gained from destroying your foes, you can
strengthen your defense, HP, and the attack power of seperate weapons.

What causes the decision of which side is Scene 12. If you defeated less units
than the Mars Angels in Scene 12, you'll immediately start getting different
story happenstances starting in Scene 14 than if you defeated more units, and
from Scene 15 to 17, you have different scenario names. From Scene 18 to 24,
you will follow an entirely different story path, and if you defeated more
units than the Mars Angels, you will have 25 scenes instead of 24.

Cage Midwell
=-=-=-=-=-=-
Male
17 years old
Blood Type O
A kindhearted, gentle youth. Began working on baord the Bonaparte III along
with Ares, whom he met a year earlier. Born 17 years ago to an unknown mother
on the cargo deck of the Midwell, which was smuggling illegal immigrants, Cage
was raised on the ship by the Captain, who took the boy under his wing. Though
he was treated well by fellow Midwell staff, Cage always harbored a feeling of
loneliness and isolation in his heart, which translated into low self-esteem
and overly passive behavior. When the Captain died and Midwell was deemed unfit
for flight, Cage boarded Bonaparte III, where he met Ares. His new friendship
with this boy, who was the same age as him and yet seemed so mature, had a
profound effect on Cage, and helped him recover from his psychological wounds.
However, the knowledge that he owes his rebirth to Ares has proven problematic
in itself, as Cage depends on Ares entirely, and suspects that he will never be
able to exist independently of him.
-=-=-=-=-=-
Ares Enduwa
=-=-=-=-=-=
Male
17 years old
Blood Type AB
A co-worker of Cage aboard the Bonaparte III, a colonist spacecraft linking
Earth and Mars. Having already worked on Bonaparte III for 4 months when Cage
first boarded a year earlier, Ares showed Cage the ropes. Something of a
genius, the normally taciturn Ares met Cage late one night after work, when he
was playing a "piano" that he had conjured by altering a program on a PC in the
ship's lobby. Cage happened upon his improptu concert and was so moved that he
began talking to him. At first, Ares was irked by the intrusion, but he
eventually gave in to Cage's perseverance and found himself, much to his own
surprise, becoming Cage's friend and looking after him. Fellow Bonaparte staff
dubbed the unlikely pair "The Eighth Wonder of Bonaparte."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Myona Alderan
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Female
17 years old
Blood Type A
A mysterious girl found hiding in a storage room on board the Bonaparte III.
Since the accident involving the unidentified object, she sticks with Cage and
his group. Having suffered retrograde amnesia since the incident, what little
personal information that is known of Myona has been pieced together based on
occasional hints about her past. Though she sometimes hints at a determined and
headstrong personality hidden deep inside, she is shy and rarely acts
aggressively. Serious yet somehow flighty, she also seems slightly imbalanced,
which may have something to do with her loss of memory....

The "Navigation Program" installed in the vehicle boarded by Cage and Myona
immediately following the Bonaparte III's collision with the unidentified
object. In these days, when voice-activated OSs are a dime a dozen, he (she?)
is special, incorporating highly advanced technology not found in other
programs found on LEVs. What secrets could possibly lie hidden in its creation?

Semyl Shambrow
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Female
16 years old
Blood Type O
A robust girl who, for some reason, speaks in street slang. Constantly aware of
the fact that she is short. Has a love-hate relationship with Razma. Although
she grew up in an orphanage, she displays the healthy outgoingness of someone
who had a very happy childhood. In reality, her childhood was difficulty,
having been subject to Ender prejudice by humans from Earth. Joined the
Resistance early to regain respect for herself, and also to help ensure a
happier future for her "siblings" at the institution. Lost a friend recently to
some trouble associated with a romantic relationship with an Earthling human. A
responsible big sister at the orphanage, underneath it all, she's just a
sensitive 16-year-old.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Mebius K. Lylekraft
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Female
26 years old
Blood Type B
A mature lady whose soft, kind demeanor belies her skilled, sharp strategic
abilities. Mebius moved to Mars with her husband, who died in an accident while
on his way to buy a toy for the couple's unborn baby; she then lost her baby
(who was to be named Tia) due to a miscarriage. It was then that Mebius,
despondent over the loss of her loved ones and waiting for death's embrace, met
Deckson, who was conducting research into the very accident which killed her
husband, in an attempt to prove that an Earthling General was responsible for
the tragedy. Hurt and angry, she joined BIS, where she works alongside Deckson.
It seems that Mebius has deeper feelings for Deckson than just trust, but she
either does not realize this, or she is in denial as they work together and as
she remains loyal to her dead husband.

Razma Cascade Jr.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Male
19 years old
Blood Type A
The skirt-chasing troublemaker of BIS, he is surprisingly reliable where it
counts. Somewhat childish, but also remarkably perceptive sometimes. A gifted
sharpshooter with excellent hearing and eyesight. Seems to have a thing for
Semyl, but nothing has materialized as of yet. His only family is his sick
mother, who tells him that his father was a "high-profile Earthling"; however,
they have never spoken with one another. Obsessed with the idea of the father
he never met, he may have found a paternal figure in Deckson...

Tadamichi E. Yukito
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Male
24 years old
Blood Type AB
Ardent fan of and expert in old-school sci-fi, low-budget movie stars, and
20th-21st century Japanimation. Deeply involved in his own world, he is
fiercely individual and mature in his self-assurance. Raised in a very proper,
traditional family consisting of his father and his siblings, he ignored his
family's wishes for him to join the corporate pack, stating, "Suits don't
become me," and left home. The rest is history.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Warren Lumenlux
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Male
33 years old
Blood Type A
Prudent and overly cautious, he is often the butt of jokes; regardless, he is
trusted for his knowledge and experience. A former mercenary, he always wears
black sunglasses and does not speak much, giving him the aura of the
"consummate professional." Once an expert gunman, he gave up his profession
after an accident in which he mistakenly shot a young female hostage. Following
the event, he wandered from place to place, eventually ending up in BIS on
Mars. Has romantic feelings for a certain BIS member, but, not being very
suave, has not yet succeeded in winning her over.
-=-=-=-=-=
Philbright
=-=-=-=-=-
Male
17 years old
Blood Type AB
Full name "Philbright Westriverside Warehouserock XXVI." Excels in household
chores such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry. Easily frazzled. Because of his
long, beribboned blond hair and his high-pitched voice, he is often mistaken
for a girl. Phil owes his long name to his "father," who believed an old
superstition that luck comes to people with long names. He grew up in a happy
family among many unrelated siblings, but tragedy struck one day when his
"father" sampled a medication which induced a sudden fit of insane violence.
Confused and horrified, Phil was able to defend himself from the savage attack,
but when he came back to his senses, his entire family, including his father,
was dead. The manufacturer of the medicine attempted to cover up the incident
and lay the blame on Phil, at which time Deckson rescured the unfortunate youth
and took him under his wing. Now a BIS member support officer, he has a crush
on Myona...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Deckson Geyse
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Male
42 years old
Blood Type O
Founder and father figure of BIS. Believing that he merely lent a hand to the
Mars Resistance movement, he does not realize the full extent of his influence
in Martian politics, although he would gladly give his life to support the
cause. A family man, he used to be an officer in the UNSF, where he enjoyed
moderate success, but was divorced by his wife due to long work hours. Having
lost his main motivation in life and besieged with guilt over his participation
in the Enders, he left the UNSF and began to research the strange goings-on
brought on by Earthlings, earning him both friends and foes along the way. His
support base continued to grow, and eventually formed BIS.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Robin O'Connell
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Female
33 years old
Blood Type O
BIS's main sponsor. Roughly 90% of BIS capital comes from the Robin Foundation,
an underground group run by Robin herself. Boasting a wide network of
connections and tremendous resources, the group does whatever it can to assist
BIS, from procuring power source units and other parts for army machine
prototypes to finding maintenance experts and catching fugitives. A beautiful
but tough businesswoman-type, she is nurturing and motherly toward BIS members.
-=-=-=-=-=
Twede Grey
=-=-=-=-=-
Male
30s
Blood Type Unknown
Robin's secretary. Cloaked head-to-toe in black with dark glasses and black
gloves, he rarely speaks and almost never reveals any of his emotions. Keen and
observant, he is almost psychic in his understanding of people; he is precise
and swift in his work, often getting the job done before others even think of
asking him to take care of it.
-=-=-=-=-=-=
Lance Jimmer
=-=-=-=-=-=-
Male
20s
Blood Type Unknown
Man of mystery. Has razor-thin slits for eyes, and is somewhat reptilian.
Although he gives the impression that he is always smiling, his eyes are eerily
expressionless. In fact, his face is like a creepy mask. Nobody really knows of
his origins nor his motivations, but it is clear that he does not champion the
Martians' cause.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Dezeele Zephyrs
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Male
49 years old
Blood Type B
High-ranking officer from Earth. Has a tendency to look down on others, but
will not tolerate others doing the same to him. Convinced that he is better
than anyone, he is self-centered and feels no guilt for all the suffering he
has caused in his career. Born to a poverty-stricken household as the youngest
child, he harbors a resentmemt toward all people who are rewarded with money
and opportunity despite a profound lack of talent. This resentment caused him
to turn his talens toward getting ahead at all costs. After gaining success as
a scientist, he quickly moved up the hierarchy to his current position as Lab
Supervisor. While he is disliked, nobody dares cross him because he is as
influential as he is unpleasant.
-=-=-=-=-=-
Ned Noachim
=-=-=-=-=-=
Male
27 years old
Blood Type O
Zephyrs' assistant. Completely lacks any sort of leadership skills, but thanks
to Zephyrs, has achieved a degree of status in the army. Views Martians as
subhuman and repeatedly commits racist crimes against them. Also prejudiced
against woman, who find him loathsome. He attributes his complex to past
experience without realizing that it's no excuse to be a pig. Used to be called
"Scarface."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Bolozof Velasgo
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Male
29 years old
Blood Type A
Silver-haired and lithe, with glittering eyes that hint at a soul full of
malice. Cold and robotic, he escaped to Mars to avoid trouble he spawned when
he permanently injured some colleagues in training. Views Martians as nothing
more than salves to be bent to his will. He follows the orders of Zephyrs,
but...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Nadia Candido
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Female
19 years old
Blood Type A
One of Bolozof's assistants, as well as his mistress. The fact that the
Martian-hating Bolozof keeps her at his side leads her to believe mistakenly
that Bolozof recognizes her talent and loves her. A hard-working and earnest
military employee.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Amante Furlair
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Female
16 years old
Blood Type Unknown
Like Nadia, an assistant of Bolozof. Under her youthful and innocent appearance
lurks the heart of a cruel, vicious demon. The wicked look in her eyes betrays
something of her true nature. Numerous men have approached her, judging her
wrongly by her harmless looks, only to find themselves used and dumped in the
end. Looks to be about 16, but her actual age is unknown.
-=-=-=-=-=
Tim Frazer
=-=-=-=-=-
Male
38 years old
Blood Type A
Mars Army officer. Looks older than his years due to endless problems with the
Resistance, which may have something to do with his being forever single. No
star qualities, but a nice guy nonetheless. Has caught the BIS leader Deckson
on a number of occasions, but has never been able to keep him. Has one half-
brother.

Urenbeck Catapult
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Derived from metatron technology, the Urenbuck catapult utilizes the distortion
and potential energy of space to enable travel at great speeds through space.
Because tremendous amounts of electricity and power are necessary to activate
this device, it is not used for regular commercial purposes. Currently, the
Catapult can be found at L2 on Earth and Deimos near Mars. There is also a
catapult at the L2 on Europa near Jupiter, which is used as the gateway to the
Anterior.

Found on the outer shell of Orbital Frames. Derived from metatron technology,
the metatron alloy coating on the exterior simultaneously gives it pliability,
strength, and hardness exceeding that of ceramic components. Also able to self-
repair using its own energy and metatron alloy.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Deimos Incident
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Terrorist attack by anti-Earth officials of BAHRAM. The Orbital Frame, which

become public property, and tensions between Earth and Mars have been on the
rise.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Transplantation
