Also, I don't bite smh. Feel free to talk to me! Also lmk if you wanna be tagged!
Google docs ver
Construct joins:
Strike Hawkās team leader Chrome reporting for duty. I will temporarily be assisting the commandant. A pleasure to see you, Commandant.
Level up:
Self-improvement has no room for slacking.
(Lit: āImprove yourself, donāt slack offā but that seemed a bit harsh for Glory. Arclight less so, but still)
Promote:
This is a promotion, as well as an unwavering faith placed in me. Thank you for allowing me to represent you, Commandant.
(So, this is loose as fuck. Lit: āThis is [I couldnāt find a translation for č®åÆ so I assumed it was a transliteration for rank oops] a rank, as well as a trust I canāt disappoint. Thank you for your ribbon commandant.ā I assume āribbonā here refers to a military award, since the little promotion screen has a set of small accolades that change as you promote them. I could be totally wrong tho)
Evolve:
Increased frame control synchronization rate stability. After today Iāll be able to perform better.
(So,,, I have no idea what frame control synch is supposed to be. This line could be completely wrong.)
Skill upgrade:
There are many good things, Commandant, thank you for being generous.
(The first part might also be something along the lines of āyouāve gained many benefitsā but idk)
Equip weapon:
Pneumatic chamber, trigger, inspection complete. Cutting force measurement complete. This is both an offensive and defensive weapon. In battle it will do its job well.
Added to team:
This is where weāll use the strategy we discussed last time, Commandant.
Set as leader:
I have already sent out the mission debrief and the planned strategy for this mission. If youād pardon my forwardness, I think these would be helpful to the commandant.
Activity at max:
I hope this result is satisfactory, Commandant.
General greeting 1:
The difference between a construct and a human is only the composition of the body. What is truly important is the individualās intentions. Disregard the material vessel.
(Lit: āStrip off what makes up the shell.ā)
General greeting 2:
This battle plan could be more efficient in places⦠Commandant? When did you get here? Itās no trouble, just reviewing the last mission.
General greeting 3:
Iāve already sent the Commandant a copy of the mission report. The style of the report is different from usual? Oh. Undoubtedly, as soon as the Commandant sees it, theyāll notice. I had Kamui write the report this time, thinking it was time for them to master skills outside of battle, after all I⦠Never mind. Based on this, would you give me your evaluation of his report?
(Small note here: ānever mindā is just äø, when literally, it would be ē®äŗ, but it flows better as nvm.)
General greeting 4:
Thereās no need to worry about meeting othersā expectations, Commandant. As long as you do what you believe, I will support you/I will stand by your side.
General greeting 5:
Do you play chess? While I was studying at Faust I played quite a bit as training, but I havenāt played since becoming a construct. Does commandant want to play a round? Perhaps⦠never mind. Only if youād like to.
(I am crying. God fuckin dammit lmao this line was so annoying because I could not for the life of me figure out that ę³å„§ęÆwas a transliteration)
General greeting 6:
Did Banji ask you to let him hide out here? My deepest apologies⦠no, right now there is no mission, I wonāt interfere on this. I just worry it will disturb you.
General greeting 7:
Faust Military Academy, valedictorian. I was just reminiscing⦠Itās no matter, Commandant. The things I experienced as a human are not inviolable taboo. I can speak with you like this and realize⦠I can find joy in our similarities.
(āValedictorianā here is lit. āseat of honorā or āchiefā but I donāt think Chrome is involved in the academy in any capacity anymore lol. Could also be āhonorsā as in an honors student. Not super sure)
General greeting 8:
Oh? Hairstylesā¦.? I donāt have any particular preferences, itās just that the way it is right now is simple. If the Commandant wants to see something else, I can do thatā¦
General greeting 9:
Are you asking about this? This isnāt for work, itās a piece of Golden Age literature, Poeās short stories. Is the Commandant also interested? Perhaps itās not something youād read to relax⦠but if you would like to discuss it, Iād be more than happy.
(So⦠åå¾·å is translated as āEdgar,ā so I just guessed at the author. Based on the rest of the line, Poe fits pretty well.)
General greeting 10:
If there comes a day when humans and constructs can be equals, may I⦠call you by name?
General greeting 11:
When did the Commandant graduate Faust? Forgive me, I was just a bit curious. If I was still human, the commandant would be my senior⦠or would you be my junior? To think that you and I used to study at the same place, Faustās classrooms⦠are not the same place.
General greeting 12:
Mind linking is truly an amazing invention. There is someone else inside the ocean ego to share burdens with⦠No, I donāt repress such feelings, especially⦠with you.
(ārepressā lit: reject. I think repress is just clearer. āThere is⦠to share burdens withā lit: āThere is someone else to bear the entire ocean ego with.ā)
General greeting 13:
Even this far away, even through the dark night and torrential rain, you are still⦠the goal I am striving for, you are still the light that inspires me.
(āInspires meā lit: ālifts me up/upliftingā)
General greeting 14:
All my glory is yours. (Alt. translation: All I am is yours)
(OKAY SO I HAVE THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS ONE. He uses ꦮå here, which is the same as his model name and Iām losing my shit-)
General greeting 15:
In the future, I want to be by your side. In order to do so⦠Iāll do everything I can.
Affection increase 1:
Kamui may seem heās always messing around, but heās actually a very reliable companion. I hope Commandant gives him some time. He will surprise you.
Affection increase 2:
My sincerest gratitude.
Affection increase 3:
This battle plan seems familiar? Of course, this is a strategy the commandant has used before. Itās outstanding. I found that the other direction would allow the team more options. Commandant, when youāre done with your work, I would like to speak with you about this [strategy]⦠will it disturb your rest?
Affection increase 4:
Is this specially made for me?
Affection increase 5:
I am letting go now. The perfect āLangston Smithā may exist, but he is not what my father had wanted, nor is he a front made of hypocrisy. It was my own choice, a final answer of my choosing⦠So, this isnāt too arrogant.
(this one,,, idk mate. Iām pretty sure this is the general gist lol.)
Affection increase 6:
If this is a thank you gift for the last mission I helped with, this is too expensiveā¦
Affection increase 7:
Maybe Iām not resisting being āSmith,ā but āSmithā has a whole new meaning. If there is no Strike Hawk, there is no you, Iām afraid forever has no meaning.
Affection increase 8:
I want to prepare you a gift in return.
Affection increase 9:
The commandant is a good listener by habit when other people are confiding in them⦠I find this a very valuable trait, but if you ever need to talk to me about something, I will always be here.
Affection increase 10:
I want to see more⦠Oh, no, I wasnāt talking about the gifts. I meant the smile that comes out naturally- because to me, that is the most precious thing.
(Note here, he doesnāt use the superlative ę, so a more literal translation would be āis the more precious thingā, but most flows better, I think)
Affection increase 11:
I want to always see you. / I want to always be looking at you.
(Mm itās a lot more innocent in CN lmao. He ends the sentence with ē²ę¤čå·², which translates loosely to āonly this.ā Itās not that creepy I swear)
Affection increase 12:
I cannot just feel your intentions this way. I have to⦠do something in return.
(Note on the second sentence: åäŗä»éŗ½ is āto do someā and ęč” is literally āan then it will be okay/acceptable.ā JP sounds a little like āIs there something I can do in returnā but idk JP very well)
Affection increase 13:
āI am not a sailor, but if you were across the ocean, I would face the wind and waves to follow youā¦ā Forgive me, I donāt know⦠this sort of thing is an expression of my feelings.
Affection increase 14:
I want to give all the beautiful things in the world to you.
(mm itās prettier in CN, sorry EN only :p)
Affection increase 15:
I used to strive for the āperfect creation,ā just an ideal that was infinitely close, but never attainable. But you gave that ideal a new meaning- Youāve shown me the answer I want to pursue.
Affection increase 16:
From this moment till forever, I will be by your side.
Idle 1:
Itās unbecoming of a leader to take this approach toward work, Commandant.
Idle 2:
If there is no work for me here, please allow me to return to Strike Hawk headquarters to finish some work.
Idle 3:
If itās not me by your side, please donāt let your guard down like this.
Idle 4:
Commandant, commandant? Donāt fall asleep out here. Youāll catch a cold.
Idle 5:
If it can always be like this, always with you⦠Ah, thatās inappropriate. This is not⦠I should be working right now.
(Not that kind of inappropriate git ur mind out of the gutter smh.)
Extended time online 1:
Youāve been working a bit too long recently, please manage your time well.
Extended time online 2:
How many times to I have to say it before you take the consequences of overwork to heart?
Extended online time 3:
Youāve already worked long enough, donāt⦠Oh? You say Iām like this too? Iām a construct, youāre human. We donāt need to rest. Alright, please go rest.
(āWe donāt need to restā is ęåäøč¦äøę¦čč«, lit: āwe donāt need to generalizeā but that didnāt make sense lol)
Extended online time 4:
What do I need to do to get you to rest properly?
Extended online time 5:
You donāt need to do everything yourself, so⦠stop hurting yourself like this. Even when youāre resting Iāll be by your side
Connection made 1:
Chrome, awaiting orders.
Connection made 2:
From that time⦠too much had already happened, but only the battle changes in the end.
Connection made 3:
Commandant, youāre here. I need your approval for todayās schedule. Iāve already marked the most important parts for you.
Connection made 4:
Youāre looking well today, Commandant.
(Lit: Today your coloring looks alrightā)
Connection made 5:
⦠Am I the first person youāve seen today? No, it doesnāt matter, Iāve already prepared todayās work.
(re: it doesnāt matter, liar)
Connection made 6:
Looks like today is going to be a beautiful day.
Connection made 7:
The me from before thought books be my only refuge. Those ideas in print were my other mentors. They are beyond imagination, but level-headed and reliable. And the time I spent with them kept me from losing myself, but books cannot answer⦠but now I have you.
(ayo I have no clue what that was supposed to mean. I tried to clean it up as best I could but no promises.)
Connection made 8:
Good day, Commandant. I am always here⦠waiting for you.
Extended offline time 1:
Welcome back. There are any issues youāre having trouble resolving from our last meeting, please remember to contact me. I will do everything in my power to assist you.
Shake 1:
Another unexplained tremor⦠Commandant, please be careful!
Shake 2:
Is this some kind of training?
Shake 3:
If I may, was that deliberate?
Quick tap 1:
Eh? Do you need something?
Quick tap 2:
Um, please donāt do that, itās rather⦠strangeā¦
Quick tap 3:
Sometimes you make me⦠I donāt know how I should react.
Activity at max:
Whenever you go on a mission, Chrome will be waiting for you.
Begin battle:
Our precious troopsā labor will not be in vain
(Sooooooooooooooo this one I have no clue. It might be an idiom, but the original CN is å µč²“åļ¼äøč²“ä¹ which I could not for the life of me find a literal translation, and there is zero, zero grammatical indication of what refers to what. Loosely has something to do with the cost of a soldierās victory but idk.)
Battle skill 1:
Calm down and think.
Battle skill 2:
Attack within projected range.
Battle skill 3:
Please donāt leave my line of sight.
Signature:
This attack will pave the way to victory!
Injured:
[Pained noise]
(itās literally just a choking sound lmao)
Danger:
Prepare to use the backup plan!
Knocked out:
I need to get up⦠fasterā¦
Assist:
Arrived at the target location. Initiating assist.
