Briefing
Let's confirm the mission.
We've detected Prometheus, a BFF group NEXT. We need you to destroy it.
Prometheus' pilot, Mary Shelley, is a legendary sniper - they say BFF based their entire weapons design philosophy around her combat style.
Her number is 5. She's a special threat, even among the Originals. Bear that in mind as you go out there.
That's not all - we're picking up dense Kojima Particles emissions from the ice on Scion Bay. Expect the Kojima interference to weaken your Primal Armor out there.
Those are your orders. You'll be fine. I know you can do this.
Special debriefing
So you outmanned even Number 5. You're a breed apart - perhaps unique in your skills.
You should get some rest now. Sleep well, soldier.
Overview

Dialogue
Fiona Jarnedfelt:Enemy Next confirmed. That's Prometheus. She's showing no sign of running. Take her out. |
Mary Shelley:Goodness… Come all this way to die, have you? |
Fiona Jarnedfelt:The enemy's mainstay is the sniper rifle, best adapted to long-distance combat. |
Mary Shelley:You make a nice target. |
Fiona Jarnedfelt:Prometheus is hit. You're damaging her. |
Mary Shelley (when significantly damaged):Hmph, you're pretty good. It's useless, though. We're different animals. |
Fiona Jarnedfelt:Closing in on the target. You have the advantage now! Don't let her get away! |
Fiona Jarnedfelt:Damage to Prometheus confirmed. Just a bit more. Keep up your attack. |
Mary Shelley What?! Is this it? No, I can finish this. |
Mary Shelley (upon defeat):Why...? But my… superiority is… |
Fiona Jarnedfelt:Prometheus has ceased activity. The mission was a success. Good work. Please head back. |
