-- 格納庫 --
-- Hangar --
巨大的格納庫內，海水隔絕艙外的燈光透過透明外罩映入其中。
Inside the enormous hangar, light from beyond the seawater isolation chamber filtered through the transparent outer shell.
比格斯正駕駛著新完成的機甲——海巨兵，進行最後的測試。
Biggs was piloting the newly completed mech—the Ocean Titan—through its final tests.
沉重的機甲在格納庫內緩緩移動，機械關節不斷傳出低沉的運轉聲。
The heavy mech moved slowly through the hangar, its mechanical joints producing a continuous low mechanical hum.
羅傑站在觀測區，看著海巨兵的各項數據。
Roger stood in the observation area, monitoring the Ocean Titan's various readings.
羅傑：「比格斯，狀況如何？」
Roger: "Biggs, how's everything looking?"
海巨兵的駕駛艙內傳來比格斯的聲音。
Biggs's voice came through the cockpit of the Ocean Titan.
比格斯：「一切正常，武器系統和動力系統都沒有問題。」
Biggs: "Everything is normal. The weapon systems and power systems are all functioning properly."
一旁，一名身材壯碩的男人看著測試數據，露出了滿意的笑容。
Nearby, a burly man studied the test data and smiled with satisfaction.
他正是海豚基地的工兵工頭——華萊士。
He was Wallance, the engineering foreman of Dolphin Base.
華萊士：「目前已經可以投入戰鬥了。」
Wallance: "It's ready for combat deployment."
華萊士轉頭看向羅傑。
Wallance turned toward Roger.
華萊士：「另外，羅傑，你的機甲也差不多完成了。哈德森那邊正在進行最後處理。」
Wallance: "Also, Roger, your mech is almost finished. Hudson is taking care of the final adjustments."
羅傑聽到後，露出了興奮的表情。
Roger's face lit up with excitement.
羅傑：「太好了！我真的很期待。」
Roger: "That's great! I've really been looking forward to it."
比格斯：「我也很期待和陸地上的夥伴們一起前往七號基地。」
Biggs: "I'm also looking forward to heading to Base Seven with our friends on the surface."
羅傑笑著看向海巨兵。
Roger smiled as he looked at the Ocean Titan.
羅傑：「加油啦。說真的，你這台機甲……」
Roger: "Keep it up. Honestly, this mech of yours..."
話還沒說完。
Before he could finish speaking—
轟——！
BOOM—!
整個海豚基地突然劇烈震動。
The entire Dolphin Base suddenly shook violently.
格納庫內的設備猛烈搖晃，警報聲瞬間響徹整座基地。
Equipment throughout the hangar rattled violently as alarms instantly echoed across the entire base.
嗚——嗚——嗚——！
WOOO—WOOO—WOOO—!
所有人立刻停下手邊的工作。
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing.
羅傑神情一變，直接拿起對講機。
Roger's expression changed as he immediately grabbed his communicator.
羅傑：「控制室，發生什麼事？」
Roger: "Control Room, what's happening?"
控制室：「報告！偵測到海底地震！西區部分區域出現海水滲漏！」
Control Room: "Report! We've detected an undersea earthquake! Seawater is leaking into several areas of the western sector!"
羅傑立刻下達命令。
Roger immediately issued an order.
羅傑：「全基地進入緊急狀態！啟動穀倉模式！」
Roger: "Put the entire base on emergency alert! Activate Silo Mode!"
-- 穀倉模式啟動 --
-- Silo Mode Activated --
基地的警報聲持續響起。
The base's alarms continued to sound.
原本覆蓋在海豚基地外部的大型透明壓克力防護罩周圍，開始傳出沉重的機械運轉聲。
Heavy mechanical sounds began to echo around the massive transparent acrylic protective shell surrounding Dolphin Base.
轟隆……轟隆……
RUMBLE... RUMBLE...
一道又一道巨大的艙壁，從基地外圍緩緩升起。
One massive armored wall after another slowly rose from around the perimeter of the base.
原本隱藏在地下與結構內部的厚重防護壁，從上到下逐步閉合，覆蓋在大型透明外罩的外側。
The heavy protective walls, previously hidden underground and within the structure, gradually closed from top to bottom, covering the outside of the massive transparent shell.
如同一座巨大的鋼鐵穀倉，將整座海豚基地完全包覆起來。
Like a gigantic steel silo, they completely enclosed the entire Dolphin Base.
羅傑環視著四周。
Roger looked around.
沉重的艙壁不斷閉合，整座基地都充滿了金屬摩擦與機械運轉的聲音。
The massive walls continued to close, filling the entire base with the sounds of grinding metal and operating machinery.
然而，就在穀倉模式完成後不久——
However, not long after Silo Mode was fully activated—
深海之中。
Deep beneath the sea.
一雙隱藏在黑暗裡的眼睛，緩緩睜開。
A pair of eyes hidden within the darkness slowly opened.
-- 海豚基地外部／深海 --
-- Outside Dolphin Base / Deep Sea --
海底地震掀起大量沙塵與碎石。
The undersea earthquake stirred up enormous clouds of sand and debris.
原本固定在海溝附近的怪物干擾器，在劇烈震動中與固定裝置脫離。
The Monster Disruptor, which had been secured near the trench, broke free from its anchoring system during the violent tremors.
巨大的裝置一路翻滾，最後墜入深不見底的海溝。
The massive device tumbled away before finally plunging into the seemingly bottomless trench.
干擾器停止運作。
The disruptor stopped functioning.
而原本受到干擾器影響、始終無法靠近海豚基地的怪物，也在這一刻察覺到了異常。
The monsters that had previously been affected by the disruptor and unable to approach Dolphin Base sensed that something had changed.
那股令牠們感到不適的聲波……
That sound wave that had caused them such discomfort...
消失了。
Was gone.
黑暗之中。
Within the darkness.
一隻巨大的怪物緩緩從岩壁後方爬出。
A gigantic monster slowly crawled out from behind a rocky wall.
牠的外型如同深海中的巨大海蟑螂，身上覆蓋著厚重的甲殼，數對肢體在海床上快速爬行。
Its appearance resembled a gigantic deep-sea cockroach, its body covered in heavy armor-like shells as multiple pairs of limbs rapidly crawled across the seabed.
牠停在原地。
It stopped in its tracks.
似乎正在確認周圍的環境。
It seemed to be assessing its surroundings.
下一秒——
The next moment—
牠猛然轉頭。
It suddenly turned its head.
目光鎖定了遠方的海豚基地。
Its gaze locked onto Dolphin Base in the distance.
失去了干擾器的保護。
Without the protection of the disruptor,
那座原本無法靠近的基地……
the base that had once been impossible to approach...
現在已經完全暴露在牠的感知範圍內。
was now completely exposed to its senses.
怪物發出低沉的嘶吼。
The monster let out a deep, guttural growl.
隨後快速朝著海豚基地的方向爬去。
Then it rapidly crawled toward Dolphin Base.
-- 海豚基地／西區 --
-- Dolphin Base / Western Sector --
穀倉模式啟動後，厚重的外壁形成了一層鋼鐵護甲。
After Silo Mode was activated, the massive outer walls formed a layer of steel armor around the base.
西區的工作人員正在進行緊急疏散。
Workers in the western sector were carrying out an emergency evacuation.
工人們帶著居民與工作人員朝安全區域撤離。
The workers guided residents and personnel toward the designated safe zones.
然而——
However—
轟！！
BOOM!!
一聲巨大的撞擊聲從外部傳來。
A massive impact came from outside.
整片穀倉壁猛烈震動。
The entire silo wall shook violently.
工人們瞬間停下腳步。
The workers immediately stopped in their tracks.
「什麼東西？」
"What was that?"
下一秒。
The next moment—
轟——！！
BOOM—!!
又一次猛烈撞擊。
Another violent impact struck.
厚重的外壁傳來令人不安的金屬震動聲。
An unsettling metallic vibration echoed through the massive outer wall.
西區外頭。
Outside the western sector.
那隻巨大的怪物正不斷撞擊著海豚基地的穀倉壁。
The gigantic monster was repeatedly slamming into the silo wall surrounding Dolphin Base.
牠鋒利的肢體與甲殼一次又一次衝向防護壁。
Its sharp limbs and heavily armored body crashed into the protective wall again and again.
-- 海豚基地／控制室 --
-- Dolphin Base / Control Room --
羅傑已經快步趕到了控制室。
Roger quickly made his way to the control room.
他一進門便大聲詢問。
The moment he entered, he shouted a question.
羅傑：「怎麼回事？！」
Roger: "What's going on?!"
工人立刻回報。
A worker immediately reported.
工人：「西區穀倉壁外發現怪物！正在持續襲擊基地！」
Worker: "A monster has been spotted outside the silo wall in the western sector! It's continuously attacking the base!"
羅傑皺起眉頭。
Roger frowned.
羅傑：「干擾器沒有作用嗎？」
Roger: "Isn't the disruptor working?"
工人神情緊張。
The worker looked tense.
工人：「報告……干擾器在剛才的地震中脫落，已經墜入海溝了！」
Worker: "Report... the disruptor came loose during the earthquake and has fallen into the trench!"
羅傑瞬間明白了一切。
Roger immediately understood what had happened.
羅傑：「難怪……」
Roger: "No wonder..."
他立刻問道。
He immediately asked.
羅傑：「海巨兵在哪裡？」
Roger: "Where is the Ocean Titan?"
工人看向螢幕上的定位資訊。
The worker looked at the location data on the screen.
工人：「比格斯正在前往西區。」
Worker: "Biggs is heading toward the western sector."
羅傑眉頭皺得更深。
Roger's frown deepened.
工人繼續說道。
The worker continued.
工人：「但是……比格斯恐怕不是那隻怪物的對手。」
Worker: "But... Biggs may not be a match for that monster."
羅傑：「為什麼？」
Roger: "Why?"
工人立刻切換監視畫面。
The worker immediately switched the surveillance feed.
螢幕上。
On the screen.
一隻巨大的海蟑螂型怪物，正不斷衝擊著西區外壁。
A gigantic cockroach-like sea monster was repeatedly crashing into the outer wall of the western sector.
牠厚重的甲殼與龐大的體型，讓羅傑瞬間認出了牠的威脅程度。
Its massive size and heavily armored shell made Roger immediately recognize the threat it posed.
羅傑看著畫面，瞬間頓悟。
Roger stared at the screen and immediately realized what he was dealing with.
羅傑：「原來是這傢伙……」
Roger: "So it's this thing..."
他立刻拿起通訊器，直接撥向格納庫。
He immediately grabbed the communicator and contacted the hangar.
沒多久。
Not long after.
華萊士接起了通訊。
Wallance answered the call.
華萊士：「羅傑？」
Wallance: "Roger?"
羅傑沒有絲毫猶豫。
Roger did not hesitate for a moment.
羅傑：「華萊士，我的機甲準備好了嗎？」
Roger: "Wallance, is my mech ready?"
華萊士看向格納庫另一側。
Wallance looked toward the other side of the hangar.
那裡，一台全新的機甲正靜靜停放著。
There, a brand-new mech stood silently in place.
華萊士嘴角微微上揚。
A slight smile appeared on Wallance's face.
華萊士：「已經差不多了。」
Wallance: "It's almost ready."
羅傑深吸了一口氣。
Roger took a deep breath.
羅傑：「好。」
Roger: "Good."
他看向螢幕中不斷衝擊基地的怪物。
He looked at the monster relentlessly attacking the base on the screen.
羅傑：「我要出動。」
Roger: "I'm deploying."
