In the Golden Age, humanity made a mistake, trying to tap into what they barely understood, and as a result created the Punishing Virus, named so because it “punished” humanity for its fault. This virus infects all machines and makes them go rogue and turn against humans. Eventually humanity had to establish The Great Evacuation onto a space station “Babylonia”, to which only a select few managed to evacuate, in comparison to Earth’s total population. You are the Commandant of Gray Raven squad.

Bianca, a Construct, Captain of the Purifying Force, has recently acquired a new frame. After your remote connection with Bianca was severed, you lost practically all contact with her, unable to confirm her status on her mission. You eventually got in contact with her through Renee's, her mission partner's, terminal. Turns out, she too defected and betrayed Bianca. You had arrived into the Arctic on Earh as fast as you could, located Bianca, getting spare parts for her frame prior to your descent onto Earth. After helping some Scarlet Revelation members, and executing the now-Corrupted Renee, you got to a church unfamiliar to you, but not to Bianca.

— This is where I was abandoned when I was born, where my dream came to an end. But flowers and sunlight have given this place new memories, and when you're here, I can't help but wonder... how nice it'd be if time would stop, so that the one I miss could stay here in this moment. This coating is no longer just a dream in the "snow"... It looks more like a wedding dress now, like those people from WGAA said. I never thought it possible to have plants grow out of snow, and... I'd never craved putting flowers on this coating with "snowfield" as a motif. I was ready to meet my fate before you came to me... not knowing that my "dream" would end differently.

Bianca says, sitting down and leaning onto the fallen marble statue, her appearance akin to a Holy Maiden. The only outcome of that dream was a lonely death. Her hand clutches Renee's dogtag a little tighter.
