1: Going Nowhere Fast

LV-4 may be equipped with the equipment necessary to create spare parts, but there is a limit to that production and it is nowhere near enough to maintain the rest of the convoy. The crews of the vehicles that break down due to this lack of parts can do little more than hope that someone else stops to pick them up before the Night claims them. Explore this compound and neutralize any threats within. The convoy is in dire need of usable vehicle components located within. Once the compound is secure, we will send salvage teams to gather the parts the convoy needs. All projections indicate you should be able to handle this alone.

What the hell am I paying those people for? I only wanted two things in this shipment: a shotgun and some shells for it. Instead I got shells, magazines for a different gun entirely, and a BATHTUB. Why the hell did they send a bathtub here? They said the shotgun ended up at the nearby junkyard so I should just go get it. With how strict the cops are? They'll sacrifice me for dereliction of duty if I tried! I'll have to see if I can tip off the cops about what these guys are doing without getting dragged along with them.

It seems that our work here is both really important and not getting done fast enough. They're sending dolls to supplement the work force here. I thought they were only used in combat roles, but it's not for us to judge what the Empress decides should be done or how. The rules for dealing with them working here is the same as if you ran into them doing anything else. Remember that despite their looks, they are not children. They are property of the Empire, and thus what their handlers say goes. Don't even try to argue and don't split them up or anything. Word is if they aren't kept in the groups they go in, they'll go crazy. That's the last thing we need around here. Just focus on your work and do your best to ignore them.

You haven't finished clearing the facility? Are you hoping for reinforcements? The convoy barely has enough hands to keep going, so you will have to make do on your own. We can't spare any combat-capable dolls for this task. Complete the objective and then your pick up will come.

Dolls do not get sick like humans do. Any doll that claims to be afflicted by some illness should have such behavior reported to her handler promptly. They do not need rest or have the same physical needs as humans. They are equipment of the state and should be treated as such.
