AC6 | Destroy the Ice Worm | Raven vs the ICE WORM, No Commentary

This video features a playthrough of the "Destroy the Ice Worm" mission in Armored Core VI. It includes all cutscenes and pre-, post-, and mid-mission dialogue.
This mission is one of the most exciting in the game. It's cinematic as hell, and you've been building up to it for most of the chapter. I even went to the trouble of constructing a whole new AC for this mission named AHAB; it is a heavyweight biped featuring heavy Coral weapons.
It starts with a mission briefing featuring Literally Everyone. It's got Carla and Chatty from RaD, Michigan and Iguazu from the Redguns, and Snail and Rusty from the Vespers. Michigan takes delight in interrupting Snail and arguing with Iguazu, and Carla just seems exasperated. Once your battle plans are drawn, though, you're finally dropped into the battlefield, and it is magnificent.
Ayre reassures you that she will be with you. The ICE WORM looms above the battlefield. You can visibly perceive the Rail Cannon as an incandescent white sun on the horizon. "I know a thing or two about sharpshooting." Rusty says. He doesn't miss.
After the beast is down, Ayre shuts down the comms-link to Walter. As the motes of Coral free themselves from the corpse of the ICE WORM, she tells you that she has a secret. The Coral is her family; she is a distributed consciousness living within the Coral, "a single wave, born from the Coral Tide". She confirms that she is truly not human, and that she has no body with which to interact with the world... save yours. She attempts to tell you something- but Walter unknowingly cuts her off.
The mission ends, and we are treated to an overview of the political situation on Rubicon. This doesn't actually matter much; Arquebus pulls ahead no matter what decisions you make, and your goals remain unchanged. Afterwards, though, Ayre sends you another message. This is the final leg of your journey, and she suspects that ALLMIND will involve itself soon. Naturally, this message only appears in the True Ending storyline.
"No one even knew I was there... for such a long time. Raven, you're the only one who--"
