Back 5.9 Chiniese Ruin Street (Story Background)

Mei

✦

Raven, do you have something to tell me?

🔇 N/A

✦

Up from the underground base to the lifeless surface, then along the shepherd's path into the ruined city—After a long silence, the Herrscher of Thunder, who was no longer a member of World Serpent, spoke.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Who knows?

🔇 N/A

✦

Raven shrugged.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Schicksal's territory is up ahead. If I figured out what to say, I'd have said it.

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

How's Sora and the others doing?

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Of course. Actually, I think they have too much energy to burn.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Know what? The last time I went back, the wallpaper was covered in scribbles. Among them was a stick figure rolling on the floor, and they said it was me.

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

Pff.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Remember to visit them when you have the chance. Sora really likes you.

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

You have my word.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Anyway, have you contacted anyone at Schicksal or Anti-Entropy?

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

Not yet. If not face-to-face, I don't even know what to say.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Oh my. You're acting like a heiress again.

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Okay, no more joking around. I've accompanied you long enough...

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

You'll be finishing the path alone.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

I'll get going? I still have many missions assigned by the Sire himself on hand...

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

Wait... Kevin personally assigned missions to you?

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

I know that sounds crazy. However, I wouldn't dare belittle myself in front of the Sire.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

In short, my hands are full with dirty jobs, and I can't force them on Gray Serpent.

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

Dirty jobs...

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

They're not what you think they're. They're... legit labour.

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

That sounds more suspicious.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

What? You're not part of the organization anymore, yet you still care about our business?

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

I'm not kidding, Raven.

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

Kevin has been acting hastily and strangely. You know, going back obliviously won't help me in the least.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Oh? Then what do you want to do?

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

I'll stalk you, Raven—openly.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Oh?

Theresa

✦

Good job, Ai-chan. Please put me through to the Salt Lake base's command center.

🔇 N/A

Ai Hyperion

✦

Yes, Boss!♪

🔇 N/A

Kiana

✦

Hi, Principal!

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

"Kiana"

🔇 N/A

Kiana

✦

Hee hee, surprised? I just finished breakfast and saw Dr. Einstein off to her shift at the command center after Dr. Tesla, so I followed her here.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

Hello, Madam Theresa. Things look well.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

All thanks to you. Before setting out, I never dreamed you'd equip Hyperion with a gravity simulator.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

You should thank Bronya for that. She helped Dr. Tesla develop a system that provides regional gravity by utilizing a replica of the Star of Eden.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

✦

Um... Does that mean even in outer space, it'll feel like a regular flight?

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

If you ask me, it'll be more stable than the atmospheric flights of the old Hyperion. I slept so well last night that I felt like I was back in St. Freya's faculty dormitory.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

Thank you for the compliment.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

Although the predecessor of Anti-Entropy, the North American branch of Schicksal, was founded by Ms. Nancy Edison who championed civilian use... this is actually our first attempt at developing the civilian functions of the Star of Eden.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

✦

Star of Eden...

🔇 N/A

Kiana

✦

Bronya told me that it played a huge role in Anti-Entropy's separating from Schicksal. Is that right, doctor?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

"Follow the Freedom Trail, then visit Lexington at midnight." Indeed, without the Star of Eden, even if Anti-Entropy was a thing, it'd never grow to its present size.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

Although back in the time when Anti-Entropy competed with Schicksal, our principle can be summarized as "the best threat is inaction"...

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

But the efficacy of this deterrence must be built on winning the first battle. At the very least, we had to convince Schicksal that they weren't capable of starting a full-fledged war and destroying us.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

✦

That's why Mr. Yang had to borrow the power of the Herrscher of Reason to disguise himself. It isn't easy to fool that Otto.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

It's thanks to the finesse of our teacher, Prof. Plank, that Anti-Entropy was able to gain a foothold in that extremely volatile situation.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

Perhaps this also made us dependent on her... so much so that her sudden passing threw Anti-Entropy into chaos.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

Sorry, Madam Theresa. I went off on a tangent about the bygone days.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

That's fine. It's beneficial for us to hear you analyze history from Anti-Entropy's perspective.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

The authorities of the Herrscher of Reason and the Herrscher of the Void both have great possibilities. If we can combine the experiences of Anti-Entropy and Schicksal, I believe we can further strengthen ourselves as a team.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

True. Take the Star of Eden for example... Ms. Nagamitsu is intrigued by it, so we're happy to share information and discuss the possibilities of the 9th Divine Key with her lab.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

✦

Which means... we may see a different Star of Eden soon?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

It's possible.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

And as our collaboration advances, our synergy is also improving. I think there is a lot of prospect that we'll eventually realize the Selena project envisioned by Ms. Nancy.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

So, Kiana, do you want to watch our space drill? You don't get this chance every day.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

We're practicing deep space gunnery and extravehicular combat today.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

✦

That sounds fun! I'd love to, but I need to attend mobile tactics training for Valkyries later.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Oh, is it Durandal? I heard she's taking you to all kinds of systematic Valkyrie trainings, and has tailored a strict training program for you.

🔇 N/A

Kiana

✦

Yeah, Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie... She's such a wonderful and powerful person. But...

🔇 N/A

Kiana

✦

... I hope she can tone down the crazy volume, ha ha.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Ha ha? That's Durandal you're talking about—you better forget about slacking off.

🔇 N/A

✦

The two continued to chat until Schicksal's Hestia landed on the landing pad in the Salt Lake base. Kiana waved goodbye.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

How nice.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

Yeah, compared to herself in Nagazora half a year ago, she's a different person.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

That's how rapid youths grow. They mature before their parents know it.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

... Speaking of which, Ai-chan, how are the drill preparations going?

🔇 N/A

Ai Hyperion

✦

Hyperion, standing by!

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

Great. Then I'll repeat today's drill plan.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

As we have pointed out in our plan—

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

This drill is designed to test Hyperion's deep space cruise system and fully automated combat system after the unmanned upgrade, and improve our command ability in the process.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

According to the schedule, today's main exercises are: deep space gunnery, extravehicular combat, and electromagnetic silent running.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

We will first do individual exercises and then test cross-exercise coordination.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Let's start with the extravehicular combat exercise. Ai-chan can prepare for the two following exercises in advance.

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

Madam Theresa is quite enthusiastic about it.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

I'm happy to see our juniors make progress, but we can't let them surpass us that easily, can we?

🔇 N/A

Einstein

✦

Indeed. "An elder can regain teenage vigor." We're all young at heart!

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black, then switches the outside of the Hyperion, where the Captain will have control of Theresa Apocalypse's [Twilight Paladin] battlesuit. >

Einstein

Because the spacesuits for regular people are extremely bulky, only Herrschers, MANTISes, and Stigma Awakened are capable of agile combat in outer space.

Einstein

Additionally, personnel outside the cabin in zero-G would have difficulty directing their movements, so gravity simulators are also required for such operations.

Einstein

Even if the above obstacles are overcome, we still can't change the extreme cold in outer space.

Einstein

That requires the combatant, which is you, Madam Theresa, to stay close to the pre-installed thermal radiator in action.

< The screen goes black. Gameplay starts. >

Einstein

Under the requirements of this rehearsal, we can only prepare these training machines to act as our make-believe enemies.

< Defeat the enemies. >

Einstein

If Nagamitsu's experiment goes smoothly in the future, we might be able to involve targets of higher standards for our trial battle.

Einstein

Dr. Tesla is very interested in this. She even thought of names for our potential opponent in this rehearsal.

Einstein

From Tezcatlipoca to Huitzilopochtli.

Theresa

(What's with those names...)

< Enemies defeated. >

Einstein

And that was the last wave of enemies.

Einstein

Good work, Madam Theresa. Return to the cabin and rest for now. We should take a break before continuing with the rehearsal.

< Return to the cabin. >

Theresa

✦

Ah, cabin sweet cabin.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Ai-chan, is there melon juice in the fridge?

🔇 N/A

Ai Hyperion

✦

There's a lot, Captain Theresa. But...

🔇 N/A

Ai Hyperion

✦

... Just now, our sailing ran into a problem.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Problem?

🔇 N/A

Ai Hyperion

✦

Please look here. The actual course of Hyperion has been deviating from the theoretically predicted course since this morning.

🔇 N/A

Ai Hyperion

✦

At first, this deviation was negligible, almost identical to normal fluctuations. But for the past half hour, which is the rightmost part of the chart—

🔇 N/A

Ai Hyperion

✦

This deviation has become systematic and increased in value.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

Are you saying... this deviation is affecting cruising of Hyperion?

🔇 N/A

Ai Hyperion

✦

I can solve this problem by manually correcting the heading. However, if it persists, it would pose a safety hazard.

🔇 N/A

Ai Hyperion

✦

In the worst case scenario... Hyperion would be in critical danger.

🔇 N/A

Theresa

✦

...

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black, then switches back to Raiden Mei's side story. >

✦

At the edge of the Sahara Desert, Mei's stalking plan is going smoothly.

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

Raven. Are you sure someone associated with World Serpent needs a phone delivered in a place with no signal?

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Here, do your own research.

🔇 N/A

✦

Raven tossed the unopened box to Mei.

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

... What's in this box?

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Who knows.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

If you are asking my opinion... I think it's really a phone that can be delivered by any courier. What, you want to unbox it and inspect?

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

...

🔇 N/A

✦

The listener took it literally. Mei tossed the box back to Raven—

🔇 N/A

< The screen goes black. >

✦

And in that interval, her left hand gripped the sheath at her side. It was one of the standard stances of Hokushin-Itto-ryu.

🔇 N/A

✦

—

🔇 N/A

< Screen goes back to normal. >

✦

A slash. When the box was back in Raven's hands, it had split in two.

🔇 N/A

✦

Of course, Raven's glove and the phone inside were undamaged.

🔇 N/A

✦

The smell of ozone lingered in the air, proving that the Herrscher of Thunder used her authority.

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

... It's really just a phone. My electromagnetic field didn't detect anything funny.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

I can pay for the box.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

I'm no longer a member of World Serpent, so I don't think I need to play by its rules.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

... I can relate to Kosma now.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

But Mei, be forewarned that I have professional ethics.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

You admitted you're not one of us anymore... so I'm not telling you anything else.

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

But you don't look like you want to keep certain leads from me.

🔇 N/A

✦

Raven shrugged.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Who knows? Maybe it's because we couldn't avoid each other for months and got acquainted.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

............

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

... Mei.

🔇 N/A

Mei

✦

Hmm?

🔇 N/A

✦

Mei felt Raven had something to say.

🔇 N/A

✦

Her intuition was right—

🔇 N/A

✦

— but she did not expect what she would hear.

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

I'll tell you. Actually...

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

...

🔇 N/A

Raven

✦

Project Stigma is complete in a sense.
