Even so, the unit continued its research in secret, and in the 1990s began to shift its focus to the manipulation of genetically-enhanced creatures for use in battle. However, practical application of the research was difficult, and several soldiers died while conducting experiments. One subject even managed to escape the research facility, and in the end an entire island had to be destroyed to take care of it. Of course, this was covered up as a "missile test". Needless to say, there were numerous other incidents that were not made public. | David Maxwell, further detailing the history of the Hamlin Battalion | |
| Oogoto ni nare ba, VSSE, hii te ha takoku nimo kono tenmatsu ga shirare te shima'u. Koto ha naimitsu ni shori shitai. Tai'i, koreni ha gun no, soshite beikoku no ishin ga katte iru.

Captain, I think you know that our military's reputation is at stake here. I need you to regain control of that dam on your own. | David Maxwell, refusing William Rush's request for military assistance even though the Hamlin Battalion occupied Dam #18 in California |

The main unit is already making their next move. | David Maxwell, confirming to William Rush that the Hamlin Battalion soldiers occupying the dam is not the main unit and their purpose of doing so |
| Zan'nen daga, keikaku no shousai made ha kaiseki deki te i'nai. | Unfortunately, that's all the information we have. | David Maxwell, replying to William Rush that he does not know the Hamlin Battalion's purpose of using the Terror Bites they are trying to steal from a military research facility | |

If we don't handle this discreetly, the existence of the Hamelin Battalion will be made public. That's exactly why we sent you out there with the Air Surveillance Center. I don't recall giving you the authority to question my orders. | David Maxwell, refusing William Rush's request for military assistance even in the aftermath of the destruction of Dam #18 by the Hamlin Battalion | |
| Chuu'jou! Nishigawa ga kono jiken no haikei wo shitta ra dou na saru o tsu mori ka!? | Lieutenant General!
