M01 Awakening
Expo City, Faith Park

For ten years, General Resource and Neucom have been at odds.
Breaking the stalemate, Neucom finally launches a major
military operation against General Resource. In response, UPEO
decides to deploy “SARF,” their special air force, to avoid
further deterioration in the relations between the two
companies.

===============================================================

M02 Bravado
Neucom Info Manufacturing Base, Waiapolo Mountains

According to intel obtained by UPEO's reconnaisance plane, a
Neucom base in the Waiapolo Mountains had been jamming an
airway belonging to General Resource. In order to avoid a
repeat of the last military clash, the order was given to
destroy the jamming radars.

===============================================================

M03 Enter Dision
Neucom Bio Nanotech Lab, Chopinburg Forest Area

Neucom's military activities have begun to quiet down, giving
USEA a semblance of peace. However, SARF and General Resource
have decided to conduct a joint training flight in case the
conflict escalates.  Despite not being actual combat, cutting
corners was not an option, so as to strengthen their
coordination with the General Resource unit.

===============================================================

M04 Paper Tiger
Megafloat, Rocky Islands

All of a sudden, intel came in that Neucom's mobile fleet was
gathering at the floating city of Megafloat. In order to avoid
a military confrontation between Neucom and General Resource,
the situation had to be defused quickly. The SARF members
sortied to the floating city of Megafloat, hoping to get there
before Neucom was ready.

===============================================================

M05 Broken Truce
Neucom Air Force Base, Waiapolo Mountains

SARF members received a confidential message from Cmdr. Park.
Yesterday's ceasefire agreement had been broken, and General
Resource forces were already launching an attack against
Neucom. In order to avoid further engagements between the two
sides, the SARF members sortied for the NEU air base.

===============================================================

M06 Ghosts of the Past
DOE Secret Development Institution, Hatties Ravine

Thanks to the work of SARF, an engagement between the two sides
at Neucom Base had been avoided. However, they received
information that General Resource's surveillance aircraft had
been spotted again in a cease-fire area. It was necessary to
confirm their aim, so as not to increase tensions between both
companies. With her aircraft repaired, Rena had come back to
SARF and set out to track down the spy plane.

===============================================================

M07 No Clearance
Expo City, Faith Park

After pursuing General Resource's spy plane, you received a
net-phone call from Rena. She began to speak with a tone more
serious than usual, asking you to come search for a certain
thing with her. It seemed to be as important as the meaning of
life for Rena. What would she want to look for...? 

===============================================================

M08 Fragile Cargo
General Resource Coastal Industrial Area, Axel Bay

Suddenly, an anonymous claim of responsibility arrived. It said
"We have a very special gift for you".... At the same time, an
airship of unknown affiliation appeared in the Axel Bay Coastal
Industrial Area. As stated in the claim of responsibility, the
aircraft was loaded with a highly-lethal biochemical weapon. In
order to prevent this sort of damage, the members of SARF
headed for the industrial area.

===============================================================

M09 Scylla and Charibdis
Lambert Mountains, Meriton Area

Another message came in from Commander Park, this time with a
top-secret mission. According to it, Delegate Clarkson is going
to Cape Rainy to mediate a truce between General Resource and
Neucom. Fiona will accompany the Delegate as an in-flight
escort, and the only other escorts will be two planes: the
player and Erich. With a bad feeling about the lack of escorts,
the group departed to Cape Rainy.

===============================================================

M10 Fates Intertwined
White Valley Air Force Base, White Valley

Clarkson and Fiona were allegedly spying on UPEO and were shot
down on their way to Cape Rainy. Amidst these circumstances, a
sortie of Neucom's high-altitude attack aircraft heading for a
GRDF airbase is confirmed. Now that Delegate Clarkson, who had
been a check on both sides, is no longer present, the conflict
cannot be allowed to escalate any further. SARF, which has lost
one of its members, is ordered to mobilize.

===============================================================

M11 Reaching for Stars
Neucom Space Space Development Base, Comona Islands

General Resource has launched an attack against the Neucom
Space Development Base. Their strategy is to presumably exploit
an opening during a rocket launch to damage the base itself.
UPEO, which received a dispatch request from Neucom, ordered
SARF to defend the Neucom Space Development Base.

===============================================================

M12 One-way Ticket
The Ruins of Geodesic Dome, Sandbury Desert

SARF had prevented the General Resource from attacking Neucom
Space Development Base. But soon after that, they were ordered
an emergent duty. The unit which UPEO had kept and investigated
seemed to be robbed by someone. Without knowing the aim of the
robbed unit, the members of SARF headed for Sandbury Desert.

===============================================================

M13 Bug Hunt
Neucom Bio Nano-technology Laboratory, Chopinburg Forest Area

Though they had succeeded in recapturing the secret unit, Erich
and Rena was beginning to be worried about SARF's meaning.
Meantime, in Neucom Nano-technology Laboratory, the nanobite
for construction work went out of control by an unknown cause.
Nanobite was still increasing, and it had been in a very
dangerous condition since then. Three of them sent to the
laboratory with the counteragent ANB.

===============================================================

M14 Pawns in the Game
Expo City, Faith Park

Unexpectedly, the death of Nascimento, the CEO of General
Resource was announced by the press. The absence of the leader
might cause some trouble for the power inside the group. Or,
depending on the situation, that trouble would develop into a
full-scale war against Neucom. SARF was ordered to destroy the
weapon factory of General Resource to make their operation stop
temporarily.

===============================================================

M15 Damage Control
Port Edwards, Snider's Top

The last mission had resulted in General Resource and Neucom
plunging into a full-scale war. They realized that Cmdr. Park's
order was a trap, but it was too late. The members of SARF
boarded their fighters to defend the city from the
confrontation between the two companies, which was only going
to get worse, engulfing all of USEA.

===============================================================

M16 Broken Wings
Megafloat, North Point

A coup d'état organization calling themselves 'Ouroboros'
invaded the control system of Electrosphere, and the whole USEA
was thrown into disorder. To make all human beings sublimate
and to make our lives evolve into the next generation -- their
aim was said to be like the foregoing. Rena, who found Dision
was the leader of the organization, left alone for the Sphilna
to confirm the truth. There, Dision would be waiting for her.

===============================================================

M17 Sphyrna
Expo City, Faith Park

With the Night Raven, Rena attacked the Sphilna, an aerial
mother ship which Dision operated. The Night Raven shot the
laser and that hit the Sphilna, but right after that it
exploded and fell down. Erich and the hero / heroine witnessed
the explosion, then they moved towards the Sphilna.

===============================================================

M18 A Canopy of Stars
Expo City, Faith Park

The hero / heroine and Erich witnessed Rena's crash and
attacked the Sphilna which Dision was on board. After the hard
fight, Erich's final missile had hit the Sphilna and it caused
an explosion. The hero / heroine and Erich who beat Dision,
headed for the Headquarters of UPEO to get even with another
man.

===============================================================

M19 Soldier of Fortune
NEU Air Force Base, Waiapolo Mountains

In the middle of the operation at MEGAFLOAT, Dision tempted the
hero / heroine to transfer from UPEO to General Resource. Soon
after that, they heard that they were going to assault Neucom
Air Force Base though the cease-fire agreement was valid. There
was no wonder that General Resource would go into a battle with
Neucom, but it was inevitable to fight with UPEO too. In spite
of such condition, the operation was started.

===============================================================

M20 Megafloat
Megafloat, Rocky Islands

They had broken the cease-fire agreement, and succeeded in
assaulting Neucom Air Force Base. As the result of this
succession, a masterly operation for Marine Moving City
MEGAFLOAT was going to be executed. MEGAFLOAT appeared to be a
marine city but actually it was the navaly key point of Neucom.
To ruin this central facilities for control, the hero / heroine
sallied out to MEGAFLOAT.

===============================================================

M21 Target Acquisition
Expo City, Faith Park

When Dision attacked MEGAFLOAT in his latest duty, he got some
interesting information from the remains of a high-speed ship
which had ran away from them. From that information he found
there was a 'special weapon' which was given secretly from
General Resource to UPEO before. The hero / heroine departed
with Dision in order to confirm its existence.

===============================================================

M22 Partners
Neucom Info Microwave Power Station, Scofields Plateau

Mr. Clarkson, the representative of UPEO played the leading
role in groping the reconciliation and peace for both
companies. Meanwhile, they had planned the operation aimed to
damage Neucom's power station to reduce the capacity of energy
production. But Dision was not in the base of General Resource.
So only Keith and the player were going to participate in this
operation.

===============================================================

M23 Tainted Peace
Lambert Mountains, Meriton Area

While collisions between General Resource and Neucom occurred
in various places, the officials of the two companies con
Clarkson, the representative was on board. Neucom began the
revenge against this act. Their fighters attacked from ultra-
high altitude so that the fighters of General Resource could
not reach them. To cope with this situation, General Resource
were going to intercept with a special plane which could
attack the enemy from above and below. It would be the boldest
operation which ever carried out.

===============================================================

M24 Stratosphere
GRDF Air Force Base, White Valley

In his / her latest duty, the hero/heroine brought down the
passenger plane with Mr. Clarkson, the representative was on
board. Neucom began the revenge against this act. Their
fighters attacked from ultra-high altitude so that the
fighters of General Resource could not reach them. To cope
with this situation, General Resource were going to intercept
with a special plane which could attack the enemy from above
and below. It would be the boldest operation which ever carried
out.

===============================================================

M25 Welcoming Commitee
Neucom Space Space Development Base, Comona Islands

They heard that Neucom's space shuttle would return from the
satellite orbit base. If it had landed, the investigation for
weapon development of Neucom would have gotten ahead of General
Resource's. Before it would happen, they were going to destroy
the space shuttle together with its facilities. But Dision was
not participating in this operation too.

===============================================================

M26 Technology Transfer
Neucom Space Space Development Base, Comona Islands

They got the news which said that there was a plan of
launching a rocket in Neucom shortly. Dision saw this as a
chance. He planned to send General Resource Paratroopers and
take its technology away from Neucom. the player, who was
suggested that plan, sallied out to Neucom Space Space
Development Base with Dision.

===============================================================

M27 Claustrophobia
NEU Missile Base, Amber Mountains

Commander Park became the supreme commander instead of Mr.
Clarkson. Under his control, UPEO went on with the buildup of
military strength. While the disorder from conflict seemed to
be more intensive, an order for emergent sally was given to the
player and Keith. To destroy Neucom Missile Base after finding
it from foggy ravine, they set out toward Amber Mountains.

===============================================================

M28 Dilemma
NEU Fleet Supply Dock, Petrol Coast

The player had succeeded in destroying Neucom Missile Base. But
there came a report about a submarine which was expected as
Neucom's. It was moving energetically on Petrol Coast, and from
its activity data. Neucom's supply dock was supposed to be
nearby. To reduce the military power of Neucom, they were
ordered to find and destroy the base.

===============================================================

M29 Betrayal
Megafloat, Eusian Ocean

Dision had left General Resource and abruptly carried out a
coup d'état. His organization was called "Ouroboros." It seemed
to be composed of only aces from each company. The disorder
caused by this coup d'état made the war situation worse, making
Neucom rally its forces at Megafloat. Dision's revolt not only
worsened the war situation, but had also begun causing turmoil
throughout USEA.

===============================================================

M30 Heart of the Serpent
Megafloat, Eusian Ocean

The player and Keith had succeeded in reducing the military
force of Neucom drastically. But after that, MEGAFLOAT was
destroyed only by a single fighter. That very fighter was the
'Night Raven' which belonged to Ouroboros. At the moment it had
returned to an aerial mother ship which was the base of
Ouroboros. The officials of General Resource ordered the player
and the other members to bring down this fighter so as to wreck
the coup d'etat organization.

===============================================================

M31 Geofront Attack
Geofront, St. Ark

The player and the others had brought down the aerial mother
ship 'Sphilna' which was the base of Ouroboros. But Dision and
the Night Raven had escaped from it. Dision had disappeared,
and they confirmed the Night Raven had gone into GEOFRONT (the
underground city). Pursuing the damaged Night Raven, the player
and Keith penetrated into GEOFRONT.

===============================================================

M32 Casualties of War
Port Edwards, Snider's Top

The Night Raven reappeared in Port Edwards. However, perhaps
due to sustaining considerable damage, it no longer had the
momentum it had when it sank the Megafloat floating city all by
itself. The Player and Keith continued to pursue the Night
Raven to bring it down once and for all.

===============================================================

M33 Geopelia
Port Edwards, Snider's Top

Since it had lost the aerial mother ship 'Sphilna'. Dision and
the Night Raven, the troops of Ouroboros lost power. But then
they confirmed an unidentified flying corps glittering in
silver. It flew away from Marine Moving City MEGAFLOAT which
had been destroyed by the Night Raven. It was reported that the
flying corps was attacking the urban area. To bring it down.
The player was ordered again to make a sally.

===============================================================

M34 The Orientation
Port Edwards, Snider's Top

A coup d'etat organization 'Ouroboros' was active with Dision
as the central figure. The player, who had left General
Resource, was tempted to become a member of Ouroboros by
Dision. Because it had lost its influential person, Mr.
Nascimento, the executive director, General Resource had fallen
into disorder and was decreasing its power. So this time, they
would execute an operation which aimed to reduce Neucom's
military force. The player departed from the aerial mother ship
'Sphilna' together with Dision.

===============================================================

M35 Liquidation
Megafloat, Rocky Islands

In the last operation in Port Edwards, they had succeeded in
causing a great damage to the Headquarters of Neucom. But
still, there were Neucom's surviving troops in Marine Moving
City Megafloat which was its another military base. So as to
ruin Neucom thoroughly, they were sent to bring down Megafloat.

===============================================================

M36 Archnemesis
Expo City, Faith Park

Ouroboros had destroyed both the Headquarters of Neucom and
Marine Moving City MEGAFLOAT. General Resource and Neucom had
been defeated, and UPEO was the only power remaining in USEA at
that time. To make this coup d'etat perfect, Dision and the
player set out to the Headquarters of UPEO in Expo City.

===============================================================

M37 Memory Error
Megafloat, Rocky Islands

Commander Park of UPEO had intended to ruin both General
Resource and Neucom by assisting coup d'etat. But as he tried
to escape by a helicopter, it was brought down and he was
killed. As a result, the coup d'etat troops 'Ouroboros' became
the only survivor. Meanwhile Rena, who had been a member of
Ouroboros as the player, recovered her memory.

===============================================================

M38 Electrosphere
Electrosphere, Rocky Islands

After Rena lost all her memories of Dision, her Night Raven was
shot down by the Player. Dision has lost the Night Raven and
even the Sphyrna, the backbone of Ouroboros. The final battle
against the Player where everything was at stake had just
begun.

===============================================================

M39 Power for Life
GRDF Air Force Base, White Valley

Against Commander Park's orders, the Player protected Delegate
Clarkson's private plane from attacks by General Resource and
UPEO, and transferred to Neucom along with the Delegate and Fi.
Soon after, Neucom decides to launch an operation using their
newly-developed aircraft against General Resource, which kept
breaking the ceasefire agreement. And the Player was going to
join that operation too.

===============================================================

M40 Guardian Angel
Neucom Space Space Development Base, Comona Islands

The attack against General Resource's air base had been a
success. But they were notified that General Resource was
planning to attack one of their bases. The attack was to be
carried out during the return of Neucom's space program's space
shuttle. The Player, Cynthia, and Fi departed for Neucom's
Space Development Base to ensure a safe landing for the space
shuttle.

===============================================================

M41 Zero Gravity
Neucom Space Space Development Base, Comona Islands

With the result of space experiment, Neucom's space shuttle had
returned safely. This result would be used to develop arms and
it would make their armaments superior than that of General
Resource's. Meanwhile, they found a military satellite which
probably belonged to General Resource. The officials of Neucom
regarded this as dangerous, and they place a special duty on
the player. He / She was ordered to go into outer space and
destroy the satellite.

===============================================================

M42 The Prize
The Fallen Point of the Scout Satellite, Rocky Islands

The conflict between Neucom and General Resource had become
more serious.There came in a report -- it said that this time
Neucom's satellite had broken down and it fell on the sea near
Fort Grays Islands. the player sallied out to support the
satellite recovery unit, for they had to prevent the
information leaking out to General Resource.

===============================================================

M43 Utopian Dreams
GRDF Air Force Base, White Valley

After having executed the operation, the player returned to the
base and received a mail from Fie. It was about the
'sublimation of human beings' which had been investigated in
Neucom until then. She said she had found Cynthia's name in the
list of its subjects. Fie was in distress, while General
Resource had started their attack again.

===============================================================

M44 Reality Distortion
Expo City, Faith Park

A coup d'etat had occurred during the battle against General
Resource in Neucom Air Force Base. Cynthia said she was going
to leave the front at once and join the organization. Her
persuasion made the player head for the aerial mother ship
'Sphilna', the base of d'etat organization. There waited
Abysaal Dision, an ace pilot of General Resource, who once
fought together with the player.

===============================================================

M45 Counterrevolution
Megafloat, Eusian Ocean

Fie had stayed in Neucom, but was killed in a sudden explosion
accident. Hearing that, Cynthia renewed her resolution for the
revolution. The next operation was to rescue the pilot of the
Night Raven from UPEO. Cynthia, who desired the sublimation of
humman beings, found herself used by Dision and decided to
leave the troops of Ouroboros with the player.

===============================================================

M46 Pursuit
Geofront, St. Ark

The Night Raven had sunk Marine Moving City MEGAFLOAT. But the
player and Cynthia brought down both the aerial mother ship
'Sphilna' and Dision's plane. The Night Raven had survived and
started an attack upon them, however it stopped attacking
halfway for some reason. And it broke the gate to GEOFRONT
intending to escape to underground.

===============================================================

M47 Self Awareness
Port Edwards, Snider's Top

Though the Night Raven had escaped inside Geofront, perhaps
seeing the odds against it, it emerged in Port Edwards, where
Neucom's head office is located. The Player and Cynthia
followed the Night Raven to the surface too, but because of the
difference in maneuverability, they could not attack it enough
to cause critical damage.

===============================================================

M48 Resistance
Port Edwards, Snider's Top

Since he / she hadn't responded to Cynthia's persuasion, the
player remained in Neucom with Fie. Cynthia, who had left the
front to take part in the coup d'etat, was managed as to be
brought down with her plane and died. Neucom had decided to
fight against coup d'etat organization 'Ouroboros' before
fighting with General Resource. They issued an order for sally
to the player. Fie sallied out, resolving to take back Cynthia
with her.

===============================================================

M49 Radio Silence
Megafloat, Gulf of St. Ark

They couldn't brought down the aerial mother ship 'Sphilna',
the base of Ouroboros, though they caused some damage. During
the operation, they found Cynthia in the flying troops of
Ouroboros. But her plane landed to the Sphilna and she went
away. From the Headquarters of Neucom, they received a
communication which said: "Continue attacking and crush the
aerial mother ship." The two person went towards MEGAFLOAT,
pursuing the Sphilna.

===============================================================

M50 Counterrevolution
Megafloat, Gulf of St. Ark

The Player and Fi came to the sky of Floating City Megafloat,
pursuing the aerial mother ship "Sphyrna," the backbone of
Ouroboros. The Sphyrna should have taken much damage from them,
but still did not lose power. To bring it down as soon as
possible, they headed for the Sphyrna.

===============================================================

M51 Tunnel Vision / M52 Sole Survivor
Geofront, St. Ark

The Sphyrna was shot down, but in the process, two unidentified
aircraft were confirmed to have escaped. One of them was the
one that had destroyed Megafloat. The Player and Fi were
ordered to pursue them into Geofront underground. Knowing that
Dision was in one of the unidentified aircraft, Fi entered
Geofront with the Player.
