Rita observing Arc City
Following a Honkai leak in Arc City two weeks prior, Otto tasks Rita with tracking down the Herrscher of the Void, whose presence was hinted at in video recordings. The key to finding her lies with an intel dealer known as "Gray Serpent," who has been monitoring the city's network data. Rita is also aware that defectors from the Far East Branch, possibly supported by Anti-Entropy, are in the city, likely seeking the same valuable information.
Upon arriving in the seemingly peaceful Arc City, Rita confronts and dispatches Gray Serpent's bodyguards before attempting to negotiate with him for the Herrscher's location. Gray Serpent, however, refuses to be intimidated, valuing his professional code over his life. This rejection forces Rita's hand, and she eliminates him, though his final words suggest a deeper conspiracy at play.
EX-2

Do not get knocked down more than 5 times.
No death.
Upon arriving in Arc City, Theresa, Bronya, and Mei discover their contact, the intel dealer Gray Serpent, has been murdered. The scene is littered with destroyed mechs, indicating a recent battle. While local security forces are alerted to their presence, Bronya manages to hack their systems and deactivate the alarms.
Bronya's analysis of the crime scene reveals that the murder was a professional hit. The killer took Gray Serpent's cellphone and computer and removed his cybernetic implants, likely to bypass biometric security. However, they overlooked a bio-verification chip in his wrist. Despite Theresa's concerns about the danger, likely from Schicksal who she suspects is behind the murder, Bronya insists on using the chip to access Gray Serpent's backup data in their continued search for Kiana. Theresa reluctantly agrees, cautioning that she will abort the mission if it becomes too risky.
