Armored Core VI: Rubiconian Comet - [MSN-04 Sazabi] Ch02 M13 - Eliminate the Doser Faction

Char Aznable: "Hold on a moment here. You attack me, and when I take you down a peg I'm supposed to make it up to you?"
Cinder Carla: "Oh! You wound me so, 'tourist'. Can't you have show some mercy to frail waif like me?"
Char Aznable: "Your being frail isn't my fault. People die. Especially those who get in my way. Blame it on the misfortune of your birth."
Cinder Carla: "...I was just kidding, and yet I understand crystal clear you meant every word. You really are one piece of work."
Char Aznable: "You surrendered, didn't you? Would you like to continue where we left off, old hag?"
Cinder Carla: "I'm sorely tempted to take you up on that offer. Just be glad I've got bigger problems to handle. Take a look at this."
Char Aznable: "Hmph. If you consider some losers riding piles of garbage a bigger problem than me, then your title of 'Cinder' may indeed be undeserved. Just digging through some ashes and assuming someone else's name. Not that I blame you. I frequently indulge in it."
Cinder Carla: "You know nothing. I can take care of this problem myself. But I really want you to work your ass off for my sake. You do this for me and I'll take you to the cargo launcher. If not, good luck figuring things out there on your own."
Char Aznable: "You think I'm not good with machinery or computers?"
Cinder Carla: "Don't get cocky. You may know how to open a couple of doors, but you're likely to get burned by the things you don't know about....is what I want to say, but that SMART CLEANER was something I prided myself in. So maybe you can get through. But you're pressed for time, aren't you? You came out here not just for yourself but for a job right?"
Char Aznable: "So you know about the Balam contract I took up."
Cinder Carla: "Not hard to guess. If it wasn't Balama, it would have been Arquebus or some other corportation. Heck some of us here at RaD want to go too. We're running out of medicines here."
Char Aznable: "Well, this should take less than five minutes. Consider me hired. Oh and, I'm still charging our usual mercenary rate. A Raven never works for free."
Cinder Carla: "Insolent little...fine! I'll pay you by the unit. Ammo and damage expenses are your business."
Ayre: "I think we've got ourselves a good deal. Carla's proposal just came through. We can make quite the profit for just a few minutes of work."
Char Aznable: "Do you want a cut?"
Ayre: "I don't need the money. Rather I am not in a position to either receive or spend money."
Char Aznable: "Sounds like you really have it rough. Ok. Just keep an eye out on me."

Junker Coyote 1: "WHOOHOO! We're in ladies and germs!"
Junker Coyote 2: "Looks like mistress Carla had quite a party. Heh, too bad we missed it!"
Junker Coyote 3: "Oh, just hit the pay dirt! Some of these RaD wrecks still have primo parts! Ooh nice!! I'll take this!"
Junker Coyote 4: "Cashing in while we take over more turf. My retirement fund should grow nicely after selling these parts."
Junker Coyote 5: "You lack imagination! I'm gonna make a Super AC out of these parts! Not even the PCA can stop me!"
Junker Coyote 3: "Hey! We got an AC!"
Junker Coyote 4: "Never seen one like that before... Must've got a sweet deal from Carla!
Junker Coyote 2: "Send in the Punchers and Kickers!"

Char Aznable: "Nice of you to arrange some accommodations, Carla."
Cinder Carla: "Well, you did me a solid back there. I really should have just hired you instead of all those losers you took out on your way in. It ain't much but you can crash here and take any food you want from the fridge. We got ourselves off on the wrong foot, so I was hoping we could start over."
Char Aznable: "Perhaps I did say too much. It's what happens when there's no one you can count on but yourself."
Cinder Carla: "It's not all that bad. Although I guess I can only say that since I have Chatty."
Chatty Stick: "Some refreshments, tourist? Rest assured they are free from microbes other than the enjoyable ones."
Char Aznable: "Thanks, tin man. I can't believe you have beer here. It doesn't have any Coral in it?"
Cinder Carla: "I'm not into dosing myself, and I certainly wouldn't waste it on a drink. Go ahead and enjoy without worries."
Chatty Stick: "By the way, tourist, you seem to have a call coming in. I'll deactivate the jammers here so you can speak to whoever in private."
Cinder Carla: "I guess I better get back to work. Let's go, Chatty."
Char Aznable: "These augmentations sure make things convenient. Being able to communicate and access information networks without any external consoles is one thing I'll miss once I undo whatever surgery I went through."
COM: "One new message."
Handler Walter: "Guess you noticed that job from Balam... and decided to take it. I see you're heading for the cargo launcher now. Not a bad idea, I'll give you that... Hm... Keeping heading for the ice field, I'll take care of some loose ends in the meantime.

[Mod links at the end of this comment]
Char gets personally acquainted with Carla here. I wonder, who would you compare Carla to in the UC verse? Haman Karn maybe without newtype powers? Or maybe nah... Too different. I wanted to fill in a bit for the story this time, because the other stories (Coral Destiny and Coral Dawn) with Kira and Shinn didn't describe them personally meeting Carla at this point. And they'd have to rest a bit on their journey through Grid 086. Would need a place to chill for atleast a day or two.
