Chapter VI/6-1

Is this the insides of the labs? It looks like a prison to me.

Overseer Otto manages the Babylon Labs himself. I don't know what he does here.
But something definitely doesn't feel right.

Do you feel that way too, Cecilia?

Let's focus on the task. We must catch up to the 2nd Herrscher.

Hmph. Theresa keeps interrupting me. I wanna talk with mom.

Look, it's a lift! We'll get to the top floor with this.

Alright. The lift is locked. We need to activate it using a digital key.

The key might be around here. Look for it.

A message from the Overseer? He's calling me back. Why now?

Just head back. The Overseer must be planning something. Leave this place to me.

But...

It's alright, Theresa. I got it covered. I'll protect Cecilia!

...alright, I'm counting on you, Kiana.

Kiana, let's look for the digital key. Search the nearby holding cells. Don't get too far from me.

Awesome!
(Yippee! I'm super lucky! With Theresa gone, I'll get some private time with mom!)

Hmm... nothing here looks like a key. Grr. I must do something useful to make mom happy!
Whoah! I found something here! Hmph. It's just a dirty and worn notebook. Lemme see... gosh... the handwriting is worse than mine!

"The doctor told me to keep a diary. I've never kept a diary before. I don't know where to begin."

A doctor? Is this a hospital?

"The treatment hurts, but the doctor said we can't stop. The other kids who ended treatment were carried away. None came back."
"I'm so scared. Don't want to go back. I don't want to live in this small and dark cage. I want mom. Where are you, mom?"

Heh, the remaining pages have been torn away! Who kept this diary? A kid?
It's really sad to be separated from mom... wait... there's a few more pages.

"I miss you, mom. But I won't cry. I definitely won't cry this time. You taught me the magic spell, mom."
"You'll say that magic spell whenever I'm sad..."
"I'll just have to say that magic spell to make all my wishes come true. It'll let me see you again, mom!"
"-- Ich☆liebe☆dich"

Wow, did I just read that? Dunno what it means, but why could I read it? That's odd.

Kiana, found anything yet?

Hey, Cecilia, look at this.

A diary? Hmm... never expected Schicksal to be doing this here.
Never knew that Babylon Labs included a medical division.

What? What's wrong with the kid? KYAA... my head! It's hurting.

Feeling better now?

Hnnggh... I think I'm alright. Let's look through the other rooms.

Okay. Don't forget to bring that diary.
Hmm... I wished mom held me when I recited the magic spell in the diary...
And it really did work! Is this magic spell for real?

This room looks quite different. This is probably the guards' bunk.
There's a card on the bed... ah, that must be the digital key. Great! Mom will definitely praise me this time!
Hey, there's another piece of paper. Did that come off from the diary?

"My body hurts. The doctor wants to perform more checks. I was taken to a room filled with TVs."
"I love TV. I like having mom hug me while we watched TV from the sofa."
"But the TVs here show nothing but strange numbers. And the pain... mom..."

This is really sad. She had a great time with mom... and now this... But I've never watched TV with mom.
I hope I had her childhood. There's no TV in this tower, and probably no sofa either...
...Ich☆liebe☆dich

What am I doing? I can't waste anymore time!
But I really want to snuggle with mom... Hmm... I guess I'll give it another shot. I wanna watch TV with mom...
No, I want more! I want to play video games with mom! Ich☆liebe☆dich!

Nothing happened. Pfft. This is a scam. This is so stupid.
Whatever. I'll take the keys to mom.

Hey, mom's not here. Alright. I'll just activate this lift.
When mom comes back and see the activated lift, she'll definitely say I'm a good kid.

Kiana, what are you doing here?

Oh, Cecilia! I just inserted the key into the computer, and this screen just showed up.

What is it? Let me see.
Eh, isn't this Kallen Fantasy III?

This is an RPG with 3 characters: Kallen the Valkyrie of Light, her boyfriend Otto, and their pet HOMU.
The aim is to defeat the Dark Fox of the East and ensure that Kallen marries Otto in the end.
It's the 3rd installment of the Kallen Fantasy series.
It retained the strengths of the previous 2 titles and includes improved rendering.
There's 23 classes to choose from, and ranked co-op battles. I really like this game.

I guess we'll need to pass this stage to unlock this lift.

What, really!?

Heh. Surprising, right? Overseer Otto developed this game. He never released it before.
Well, he seems like the type of person who would link this to the labs security system.

The Schicksal Overseer? Really? Wow!

Yeah. The game... ahem... has his personal stuff in it, but it's designed to improve Valkyrie concentration and reflex.
That's why there is a score ranking system.
I'm the rank 1 player so far...
It used to be Overseer Otto... I surpassed his high score by day 3.
And then my account got banned.

Grr. This Overseer sounds like a mean dude.

Alright, Kiana. Give it a shot. I'll tell you how this game works. You'll do fine.

Awesome!
