They weren’t exaggerating — this is really dangerous. It’s a good thing only one of them broke…
Yeah, you do that while I check the rest of the equipment. I’ll evacuate the people around here as I go.
It’s too dangerous here. There’s a highly aggressive monster on the prowl. You need to leave, now.
The monster seems to be very agitated.
It may be small, but don’t be fooled — it’s a ferocious beast. People are just food in its eyes…
Everyone’s accounted for — we managed to rescue them all. We also placed a sign at the entrance to the cave, warning people to stay away.
…You really held your own today. I… still don’t know your name.
hold one’s own:
Retain a position of strength in a challenging situation.
Britain has begun to hold its own in world markets
She hasn’t introduced herself, then. Hehe, Odette is the prima ballerina of Snezhnograd. She’s quite the celebrity.
If you ever hear people mention the “two crowning jewels of the Korolevskiy Troupe,” they’re talking about Odette and the prima donna, Vodyanitsa.
She learned all her combat skills from Rosalyne herself. Used to be one of her most valued subordinates, too
(If she’s Rosalyne’s protegee, that makes me… Never mind, there’s no need to bring it up. No point making things awkward.)
Sure, but Snezhnograd will send someone to investigate and draw up a relief plan… Ugh, and I guess I’ll have to write the incident report myself this time, since it involves a mechanical malfunction.
That’s the rough process, anyway. Could take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, depending on how smoothly it goes.
表不确定性 anywhere
anywhere between one and ten / anywhere from one to ten etc, used to mean any age, number, amount etc between the ones that you say

She could have been anywhere between 45 and 60 years of age.
她可能在 45 到 60 岁之间。
We can accommodate anywhere between 60 and 300 people.
我们这里可住 60 到 300 人。
Heh, go easy on me, alright? I’m still recovering from the interrogation the real big shots put me through.
Good to see you too, Odette. I’m guessing you guys just got back from cSvetloledovka? How’d it go? Crisis averted?
Not really, same as ever. Growing opposition to Project Stuzha, and the usual rebuttals are starting to ring hollow.
The results of the mock vote were pretty dire. Pulcinella was fuming… I’ve never seen the old man so angry.
That’s not good news… It takes a lot to rattle him.
Yeah. Obviously, if push comes to shove, there are ways to crack down on dissent, but…
Sorry, I have to ask something. This is going to sound blunt, but may I?
But what exactly is this project’s purpose? And how can it be so important that even people like you two refuse to stand up for the ordinary people of Snezhnaya?
stand up for (someone or something) : to defend (someone or something) against attack or criticism捍卫；维护；保卫
He stood up for his friend.

You have to stand up for yourself.

(Haha. Interesting. I gotta hand it to you, comrade — you sure don’t mince your words…)
In fact, my position’s very similar to yours. I’ve only held back on casting a dissenting vote in the Veche because the Tsaritsa would never let me get away with it.
cast a vote = 投票
As contentious as things can get within the Veche, there’s no selfishness or malice behind it. Everyone wants to get through this period as smoothly as possible
The issue is that there’s no way of pleasing everyone under the present circumstances. Most of the time, we’re trying to decide on the lesser of two evils, which obviously isn’t a great look
Hey, come on. There’s only so much we can say, so don’t press us too hard. Look, I know how untenable the Tsaritsa’s position looks if you don’t understand her motives.
As laser-focused as she is on realizing her lifelong ambitions, she’s still putting time and energy into taking down this powerful monster.
Haha, thanks. I meant every word I said, though. I wasn’t just trying to placate you — I’ve already done more than enough diplomacy for one day
Easier said than done… I like to think I’m not the kind of person who goes around busting open people’s old wounds!
bust open: 揭开
A phrase used to describe when a woman spreads her legs open wide to fuck
I spent alot of money on this date, this bitch better bust it open tonight!
You’re a little short on manpower, right? Lemme have a couple of my people take over for yours. I’ll send my most capable and reliable — they’ll make sure Paimon can recover in peace
