(Talk to Maintenance Engineer)

Maintenance Engineer: Here you are!

Please turn on the terminal for me.

Maintenance Engineer: Yup, here you go! The optical identity verification program has been set up. The terminal has sufficient computing power. Please feel free to use it.

Pass the optical identity verification

Step Description

---

The maintenance engineer starts the optical identity verification for you manually. So far, so good.

(Opens Data Record: Chris)

(After closing the data record)

(People act much more maliciously on the virtual network. He was brutally harassed online. Did he get infected by the memetic virus during his most vulnerable moments?)

(But his speech and the style of his posts are significantly different from the "cliché quotes" Asta had mentioned. I'm afraid he's not the infected one.)

Use the terminal to check the data records of others

Step Description

---

You didn't expect Chris to cause so much trouble in online forums. No wonder he treated you like that. Now it all makes sense. But if he is not infected, who is?

(Immediately after dialogue ends)

(Then is it Joanne? But I better not jump to a conclusion just yet. I should check Joanne's records.)

(Investigate terminal)

Investigate

A row of large words pops up on the terminal screen: "Query failed. Click to refresh."

Talk to the maintenance engineer and report the bug

Step Description

---

You planned to check Joanne's record next, but the terminal crashed again. You have to ask for the engineer's help once more...

(Talk to Maintenance Engineer)

Maintenance Engineer: What? Is it broken again?

It kept asking me to refresh...

Maintenance Engineer: It seems to be some compatibility issues...

Broken "again?"

Maintenance Engineer: Well, it sometimes breaks down during maintenance.

Maintenance Engineer: Oh no! This is caused by the old units I installed into the terminal today. They looked good to me at the time and I thought they could boost the terminal's computing power.

Maintenance Engineer: Looks like we'll have to wait until the replacement units are delivered.

Maintenance Engineer: Sorry, please give me some time. Let me remove these units. I assure you the existing computing power won't be affected.

Maintenance Engineer: However, I'm afraid you'll have to come back tomorrow. I'm sure by tomorrow there will have been sufficient computing power!
