I. OVERVIEW
	This FAQ contains translations of the 17 Missions in ACPP.

	The translations were done from a strategy guide that I got.  I noticed 
that the mission request text is slightly different in the book than
what is 
actually said, but it’s harder for me to figure out some of the
on-screen 
kanji, so you’re getting the book translation.  I’ve also done a few
minor 
notes on some of the in-mission dialogue.  If there’s enough interest, I
could 
try to translate that next.  If anyone knows Japanese and are really
picky, 
then you can correct me.  It took me a couple of weeks of working
off-and-on 
and a little help from a Japanese friend to complete this.  My knowledge
of 
Japanese is poor, but I can get around and make translations with a lot
of time 
and patience.

	Standard (and sadly necessary) Line:
	Armored Core: Project Phantasma was produced by "From Software".
The translations from Japanese were done by me.  You may freely copy and
disburse this FAQ in its original, uncut form.  Do not remove my name
from
this FAQ and attempt to get credit yourself.  If you do, I will hunt you
down
and squash your head under the heel of a custom-made, multi-ton, AC of
Doom
OR I will pursue other, more legal means of action, whichever comes to
mind
first...

II. GENERAL

If you slect New Game, you will be brought to the "Enter Pilot Name"
screen.  
Stay calm.  You will see a bunch of Japanese characters which you can
use to 
enter your name, but if you hit L1 or R1 buttons, you will be given the
more 
familiar Roman (and Greek) alphabet.

  I want you to capture a high ranking official who is visiting a
weapons test 
plant.  The testing area has anti-aerial radar and land mines, so please
be 
very 
careful.  We will make our final approach on the area together.  From
the start 
of the operation, we will go north from the riverside, cross 2 bridges
and then 
keep a lookout to the West.
  ---
  Notes: Do not boost too high, step on a land mine, or attack the
compound 
before the official arrives, otherwise, you will fail.  Also, after you
cross 
the second bridge, head West until Sumika talks to you.  Then wait until
he 
arrives before moving out again.

  I have determined the "future transfer" that the person we captured

  Prepare for an attack, and I want you to guard our "VIP".

  Note: Even if you fail this mission, you will go to the next one.

  I am requesting the complete destruction of a Wednesday Organization 
detachment.  We have received information that the Organization’s
detachment is 
gethering in the downtown area of Amber Crown.  Their intent is unknown
but 
this is a perfect opportunity.  If you completely destroy the
detachment, then 
they will probably have to make a move.

  I am requesting an assault operation on the Wednseday Organization’s
main 
office.  We will extract detailed data on Project Phantasma from the
computer 
in their main office, then we will make a proclamation.  I anticipate
that this 
will become an extended operation, so prepare your AC’s ammunition
stores 
accordingly.
  ---
  In-Mission Dialogue:
  When you get to the computer room, Sumika will ask you to wait for her
while 
she extracts the data.  When she is finished, you must make your way
back out.

  Stinger is the one behind the new weapons system, Phantasma.  I’ve
heard he 
is hiding together with some remaining Wednesday Organization members in
the 
Nord Highland.
  His purpose is unknown, but I want you to completely destroy
Phantasma.
  ---
  In-Mission Dialogue:
  Computer:  Enemy MT approaching.  Number of MTs: 1 
  Stinger: ~ When will you stop being a nuisance?
          (I’m not exactly sure about that one)

  I discovered a secret base in the East side of Amber Crown that was
left 
behind by the Wednesday Organization.  I am requesting the destruction
of this 
base.
  Find the self-destruct device in the deepest area of the base and set
the 
countdown timer.  You will have 2 minutes to escape.
  ---
  In-Mission Dialogue:
  Sumika:  This is where you need to set the the timer.  Once you start
it, it 
can’t be stopped.  Please be careful.

  Information has arrived concerning the hiding place of "Phantasma". 
It is in 
the area of Amber Crown, where a subway extends.
  Before you capture Stinger, please destroy "Phantasma".
  ---
  In-Mission Dialogue:
  Stinger: You’ve come?  Didn’t I tell you I don’t like nuisances!
    (I think he then says: ) Phantasma isn’t here!

  This isn’t a request.
  From now, I will become "Phantasma" and I will destroy everything. 
You’re a 
nuisance, but I will invite you to the ceremony.  Come to the building, 
"Abyss".
  ---
  Welcome to the Abyss.  This is Phantasma...(some stuff I’m not sure
about)... 
DIE!
