Script
[Mission Start]

Abyssal Dision: I hope you've considered your answer.

Keith Bryan: Huh? Dision! What are you talkin' about? Just concentrate on the battle, alright? We'll be at the fjords soon.

(If the mission takes longer than 9 minutes:)

Commander: Mobile fleet launching from the docks, including submarines. Shoot down your targets at once!

(After all ships are destroyed, a cutscene plays:)

Dision: I'd like to hear that answer from you now. Alright, listen carefully. I'll now be withdrawing from this front at once. If you believe in me, then come along with me.

Keith: What the f... You've gotta be kidding me! Have you really gone crazy?! This is desertion... you okay with that?! If you withdraw, then I'll shoot you down myself.

Dision: I'm sorry, Keith. But I'm heading down the path I must take. I'm dissolving my team with you here. We've had some good times. See you ... let's go.

(Cutscene Ends.)

(If Nemo follows Dision:)

(Cutscene. Screen focuses on Nemo and Dision's planes.)

Dision: Thank you. But I believed that you'd surely come along.

(Screen cuts to a giant airship. Cutscene ends.)

Dision: That's our mothership, the Sphyrna.

(Nemo prepares to dock with the Sphyrna.)

(If Nemo follows Keith:)

Keith: That ....... Dision ... messin' with me!

(Nemo prepares to land on a carrier:)

Keith: We're landin'!

(After either sequence, the screen fades to black.)

[Mission ends]

Welcome to Ouroboros
(Plays if Nemo follows Dision)

Dision: Your resolve... I, Abyssal Dision, have surely felt it. We are Ouroboros. The name of a serpent that bites its tail, and it means "Our end is our beginning". We bring ourselves into being, marry ourselves off and destroy ourselves. We also symbolize "immortality", "eternity", and "wisdom". -Welcome to Ouroboros. Along with me, Abyssal Dision, heading for a beginning called "the end", the time has come to set off for an ending called "the beginning".
