Doctor, please sit. I'm just here to give you a physical examination, so relax. If there are any irregularities, please tell me in full. Meaning? We'll set aside what it means to Rhodes Island for now. To me, the meaning it holds is quite significant.

I will conduct scientific examinations on you at regular intervals, recording your vital signs and state of consciousness. No other personnel have this authority. If anyone wishes to conduct an examination on you, you have the right to refuse. Do you understand?

Medical is the core Department of Rhodes Island. Theoretical research and practical treatment both require medical talent, and the need for medical staff on field missions is always growing. Please remember that in the time to come, you will need to recruit ever more Medic Operators.

I'm sure, on a daily basis, you interact with many Operators. When you converse with them, you must be alert for any speech that attempts to influence your will. Remember to preserve your ego; at necessary times, I suggest you seek my help. Of course, for you... I should be unnecessary, shouldn't I?

Amiya has left to eat with the young Operators. She is a child too, and you should accompany her well. These lands has no mercy on the basis of age, but children will always be our unvarying hope. I very much admire this notion of... a certain someone's.

Doctor, do you ever doubt the meaning in your own existence? I do. Life upon these lands is tremendously tenacious. It evolves to suit a unique niche, often finding nurtured tameness and confrontation futile. What is our destination, Doctor? I believe you will find an answer. I can only persevere in that belief.

Don't spare too much worry for me. Rhodes Island shouldn't be so fragile that one person's departure would leave it unable to proceed on. What is it? No, it's only a slightly hyperbolic supposition. No matter what, I thank you for your concern, Doctor. But more than myself, I am concerned for you.

The path along which Amiya grew into Rhodes Island's leader was considerably troubled, and the sacrifices we've made bear testimony to that. From the faintest glimpse you caught in that stretch of the past, you may gradually come to understand the meaning of it all. You can make your own choices, Doctor... someone once told me that.

My hope? It is to protect yours and Amiya's hopes, Doctor. Though our definitions of 'protect' have nothing in common, it's an oath I will never abandon. I will be standing here with you, until the very end. We are unable to forget the past, but a different future may await you.

Are you awake, or still in a dream?

Doctor, my appearance here indicates that the situation has turned for the worse. You must concentrate on continuing to accomplish your mission.

Not bad.

With strength comes fragility. Such is the principle of all living things.

Mon3tr and I will protect everyone. Especially you, Doctor.

I will see to them.

Now you need only devote yourself to operation planning.

Let's go.

You know the plan. Move to intercept.

What's the situation?

Optimize your deployment.

Arrived at designated position.

Mon3tr, with me.

Mon3tr.

Peform your task.

Awake.

Go ahead.

Make sure a video record of this battle is properly cataloged.

Mon3tr, collect tissue samples.

Assess the risk coefficient of those fleeing, as well as the possibility of a reprisal attack by enemy forces.

Secure evac route. Prepare to operate!

How is the infrastructure project here developing?

What are you doing?

You seem to have grown used to your own work and responsibility. You've become much like a leader.

Arknights.

It is once again the New Year. I only hope that you will find a suitable manner with which you can enjoy this brief holiday logically. Additionally, I wish that you will enjoy this upcoming year in good health, and won't spend too much time in the infirmary.

Doctor.

It is not for anyone to tell you what the significance Rhodes Island carries is. Neither should you be bound by your unreachable memories. Instead, the current you must find that answer yourself. There will come a day when you'd decide Rhodes Island's course. I trust that your decision will bear responsibility to the ideals that we discussed.
