Special Detective Operation

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story Special Detective Operation

Video Summary: Next stop, the theater!
Story Description: Turns out Norma came by late at night to seek help. She shared the legend of the "Angel" and hinted that the true culprit behind the Bangboo Corruption event is likely tied to it. After agreeing to Norma's request, you head to the theater with her to hunt for clues.


A few minutes later...
Norma: Phew... That was close. I almost lost my hat. Who would've thought there'd be traps like this in the dorm right after you moved in!
Icon Dialogue Talk Norma, what are you doing here?
Icon Dialogue Talk And why are you being so... sneaky?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Norma, what are you doing here? And why are you being (‍soso / so...so...‍) sneaky?
(SiblingSibling): Yeah. If you wanted to see us, you could've just come in through the front door.
Norma: No, I can't go through the front door. I can't let anyone know I came to see you tonight!
Norma: Belle, Wise, you already told Veli you'd help me, right? Time's running out, so let's get started on our secret operation right away.
Icon Dialogue Talk Something sounds off.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Wait a second... That sounds a little off.
Norma: Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm not going to do anything dangerous... I swear!
Icon Dialogue Talk Are you trying to hide something from Velina?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): From what you're saying... are you trying to hide something from Velina?
Norma: How'd you know...? Ahem, that's not important!
Norma: I just... don't want Veli to carry everything on her own again. She's definitely going to resort to those "grown-up methods" to deal with this, isn't she!
Norma: Veli once said that if someone in the department has to play the "bad guy," she'll be the one. Like... delivering retirement notices to Bangboo who are nearing the end of their service...
Norma: It wasn't Veli's decision, and it wasn't her fault, but because she had to handle it, the Bangboo gave her a nasty nickname... something like "Death Witch"...
(SiblingSibling): Looks like you want to handle this in your own (‍way?way? / way.way.‍)
Norma: That's right! I won't let Veli face all of this alone again. I'm gonna protect her just like she's always protected me!
Icon Dialogue Talk I see.
Icon Dialogue Talk Do you already have a plan?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): I see... So, do you already have a plan?
Norma: Yup! Even if we can't produce a report in three days, Veli reminded me that there's more than one way to solve a problem!
Norma: If we can trace the incident back to its source and identify the true culprit behind the corrupted Bangboo, we won't have to waste time proving our innocence anymore!
(SiblingSibling): So you're saying this isn't just an accident?
Norma: You noticed it too, didn't you? Simon's final words: "Angel"!
(SiblingSibling): We've actually been meaning to ask about it. We've heard that word several times since we arrived on the island, and at first we thought it was just some local custom.
Norma: The Angel is a well-known legend among Bangboo, but it actually cropped up super recently!
Norma: They say a Bangboo, on the verge of retirement and unwilling to forget its friends, made a wish to the Angel to keep its memories, and somehow it was actually granted.
Norma: After retiring, it really didn't forget its friends, and somehow even managed to send a message to Roscaelifer later: "I've been doing well lately, I just miss you all."
(SiblingSibling): That Angel sounds like a good person, but given Simon's final words, that kind of selflessness does feel a little suspicious...
Norma: Right? I think so too. Otherwise, why would Simon mention it before he died?
Norma: Lately, there's been a spike in Corruption cases, and more Bangboo are turning to the Angel for comfort. There's a good chance the Angel is taking advantage of that trust... to harm them!
(SiblingSibling): So that means.... Bangboo can actually communicate with this Angel? Do they meet in person?
Norma: Honestly, I'm not sure either. I came to you to discuss it and see where we should begin if we're gonna investigate.
Norma: Although that Angel legend is really well-known, there probably aren't that many Bangboo who've actually come into contact with it.
Icon Dialogue Talk You're right. Let me think for a moment...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): You're right. Let me think for a moment...

Archy: Ehn-na, ehn-na ehn-na! (...Anyway, for the upcoming Completion Anniversary, our troupe is going all out, holding sign-ups for new actors, and rehearsing the epic play, "Angel's Aria"!)
Tin Master: Mr. Archy's passion for the arts is like the first hint of tea in early spring, subtle, but unmistakably refreshing. Rest assured, we will pass that sincerity on to every guest who comes through.[Note 1]
Archy: Ehn-nah, ehn-ehn, ehn-nah-nah. (Thanks a million! This is our tribute to the Chief Angel, so we absolutely have to find the perfect cast and nail this performance!)

Icon Dialogue Talk I've got it — Archy from the theater!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): I've got it — Archy! The Bangboo who was handing out flyers at the theater, remember? He mentioned they've been rehearsing a play about the Angel lately!
(SiblingSibling): That makes sense. If they're working on a play, then even if they haven't met the Angel directly, they probably have a lot of information.
Norma: Then let's start our investigation there!
Norma: The festival's coming up, so the Bangboo's Spotlight Theater has performances or rehearsals every night! Archy and the others should definitely be there right now.
Norma: No time to waste, let's head out!
Icon Dialogue Talk (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍), you should stay at the Amber Hall.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍BelleBelle / WiseWise‍), you should stay at Amber Hall. If all three of us go, we'll be too conspicuous. And we might still need you and Fairy to back us up.
(SiblingSibling): Hmm... alright. You and Norma take care out there, and stay in touch!
You and Norma quietly slip out of Amber Hall through the back door...
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Head to Spotlight Theater and gather info

The late-night visitor turned out to be Norma! After a quick chat, Norma brings up investigating "the Angel," and the best way to do that is to head straight to Spotlight Theater, where the Bangboo hang out, and dig up some intel from the ones rehearsing or performing there... No time to waste. Let's move out now!
(Ongoing)
Norma: The theater's this way, I know the route!
(Approach the theater)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Seems like there's a lot of Bangboo at the theater.Seems like there's a lot of Bangboo at the theater. / Whoa, there's a ton of Bangboo gathered here!Whoa, there's a ton of Bangboo gathered here!‍)
Norma: Looks like their performance is today.

(Idles)
Bangboo NPC 1: Ahn-nah... (I snuck out the moment it came to the end of my work hours...)
Bangboo NPC 2: Ennehnuh! (Me too. I'll head back to check after this!)
Bangboo NPC 3: Enneh~ (My "Complete Analysis of King Laer" is almost done~)
Bangboo NPC 4: En-nah-en-nah! (Amazing! Once you post it, maybe even the main cast will see it!)
Bangboo NPC 5: Ennah? (We still can't get in?)
Bangboo NPC 6: Enen... (This wait is killing me...)
Bangboo NPC 7: Na-nu... (So many Bangboo...)
(Idle)
Cheerful Bangboo: Uhn-nah! (Can't wait for tonight's show!)
Calm Bangboo: En-nuh... (I really hope it's actually good this time...)
(Listen to Cheerful Bangboo, optional)
Cheerful Bangboo: En-ahn, neh-na! (I wonder what tonight's show is gonna be... I'm so hyped!)
Calm Bangboo: En-na-na, na... (You really like plays, huh? Every time, you find some excuse to drag me here...)
Cheerful Bangboo: En-ahn! Neh? (I mean, you get to see human life unfold through plays! Don't tell me you're not into that?)
Calm Bangboo: En-na... Ne-na! (Sure, that's interesting. But I feel like your love for the theater goes way beyond your average Bangboo, and your focus is totally different from mine... Oh, right! People call your kind Theaterboos!)
Calm Bangboo: Enna-nah... (Like that show you recommended me? It just felt... off...)
Cheerful Bangboo: Neh, en-ahn! (Whoa, that ride-or-die bond between Plumber Bangboo and Mason Bangboo after all their life-and-death struggles... doesn't it tug at your Bangboo heartstrings?!)
Calm Bangboo: Ennah, ehn-na... (Well, honestly, their friendship feels a bit different from the kind I've read about in books...)
Cheerful Bangboo: En-na, na! (Human emotions are just naturally complex!)
Cheerful Bangboo: En, ahn, nehna! (That's exactly why we gotta watch more shows! We need to see how they handle their daily lives!)
Calm Bangboo: En, nah... (Fine, you've seen more, so you're definitely right...)
(Idle)
Actor-Enthusiast Bangboo: En-neh... (Today's actor...)
Theater-Enthusiast Bangboo: Neh-na! (Today's show!)
(Listen to Actor-Enthusiast Bangboo, optional)
Actor-Enthusiast Bangboo: En-ehn nah~ (I heard today's star is Archy! He's a Bangboo who works in the Hollows~)
Theater-Enthusiast Bangboo: En-ahn, ne na... (Honestly, I'm more about the script than the cast when it comes to picking what to watch...)
Actor-Enthusiast Bangboo: Na-neh! (But wouldn't a charismatic actor do a better job of bringing the script to life?)
Theater-Enthusiast Bangboo: Neh-en... (But I feel like if the story itself is no good, doesn't that kind of defeat the whole point of watching a play?)
Actor-Enthusiast Bangboo: En... Ahn-en! (Y—You've got a point... but I still really like Archy!)
Actor-Enthusiast Bangboo: En-ahn, nehna! (His acting is so good. The role of the King in King Laer was practically made for him!)
Theater-Enthusiast Bangboo: En, en-nuh! (Ooh, I heard it's an adaptation of a famous human play!)
Actor-Enthusiast Bangboo: Neh-en, en-ahn! (Speaking of humans... It's a good thing they aren't allowed in the theater. If they saw these plays, it'd be so embarrassing for a Boo!)
Theater-Enthusiast Bangboo: En ahn... neh nuh! (Right... if a human catches us secretly mimicking them... my display would literally fry from the embarrassment!)

(Arrive at the entrance)
Cut: Wuh-ne, nu-nuh! (Look at how big the crowd is for today's show!)
Archy: Ehn-ehn, nu-ne... (Y-Yes, I hope everyone likes King Laer. We've been practicing for a long time...)
Cut: Wuh-nhu-en, nuh... (Speaking of which, your troupe's got a new play coming up, right? Since it's about the Angel, everyone's really looking forward to it...)
Archy: Ehn-ne... Ne-ne! (Well... the script isn't finished yet, but I promise it'll be amazing! It's getting late, so I'm going to get ready for the show!)
Norma: It's Archy! He's heading into the theater right now. Let's go!
You rush to the theater entrance—
Cut: Wuh-neh! (Hey! Hold up, human friends!)
Icon Dialogue Talk We're here for the show.
Icon Dialogue Talk We want to go in and check it out.
Theater Security: Ehn-ehn...? Nuh! (You guys...? No, no, no! The Bangboo Theater only allows Bangboo inside!)
Norma: Damn, I was hoping we could sneak in before he noticed us... I guess we stick out a bit too much to blend in with a crowd of Bangboo!
You head to a quiet spot nearby with Norma—
Norma: Looks like we're not getting in. We'll have to come up with another plan. Got any ideas?
Icon Dialogue Talk Check the theater's security cams?
Icon Dialogue Talk Try pulling up the security footage.
Norma: You're right! Now's the perfect time to use the access I unlocked for you!
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Hack into the cameras and find Bangboo who are talking

We arrive at Spotlight Theater, where the Bangboo often gather, only to find that entry is strictly Bangboo-only... Time to tap into those feeds and see what intelligence you can dig up from inside the theater.
(Ongoing)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Let's hack into the theater's internal surveillance and take a look.
(After hacking into a camera)
(Open tutorial Area Monitoring Tutorial)
Norma: Huh? Where's Archy...?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Let's listen in on these Bangboo. Maybe that'll clue us in on where he went!
(Idles)
Bangboo NPC 8: Enneh~ ("King Laer" is an absolute classic, let me quiz you on it...)
Bangboo NPC 9: En-neh-nah... (Here we go, about to drop some "common knowledge" like it's a big deal again...)
Worried Bangboo: Ennuh... (Archy's been in a bit of a mood these past few days...)
Laid-back Bangboo: Ennuh... (But he's a professional actor...)
(Monitor the target)
Worried Bangboo: Ehn-na, nha...? (Archy's been kind of down these past few days. He's starring in King Laer today. Is he really going to be okay?)
Laid-back Bangboo: Enn, nah-na. (Well, he normally works down in the Scamall Hollow. That's a pretty dangerous job. But hey! He's a professional. I'm sure he'll manage.)
Laid-back Bangboo: Ehn, nah-nha~ (Come on, let's get changed too. Archy's already in costume.)
(Clue found: Archy's already suited up in costume)
Norma: So that's why we couldn't find him! He's already in costume. But how are we supposed to know what he looks like now?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍King Laer's currently running.King Laer's currently running. / They've been showing King Laer these days.They've been showing King Laer these days.‍) There are posters all over the theater. Since Archy's the lead, we should be (‍definitelydefinitely‍) able to spot him on one!
Norma: Ah, good point! Then let's check out the posters!
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Learn Archy's disguise from the talking Bangboo

Successfully hacked into the theater's security cameras! Now we can use them to zero in on the Bangboo chatting inside and try to find valuable intel from their conversations.
(After hacking the second camera)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Alright, let's find the poster for Archy's show!
(Idles)
Bangboo NPC 10: Enneh. (Has the sound quality of the theater equipment gotten worse lately...?)
Bangboo NPC 11: En-neh... (No way, you just set your music too loud when you listen to it!)
Curious Bangboo: Ennah... (The scribbles on the poster... that boo drew them, right...?)
Well-Informed Bangboo: En-nahna? (Who? Archy's printed right there in plain sight...)
(Monitor the target)
Norma: Is this the one? Whoa, who went and scribbled all over this poster? It's such a mess I can't even read the title anymore.
Norma: (‍Let's listen to what the nearby Bangboo are saying.Let's listen to what the nearby Bangboo are saying. / Let's listen in. See what the Bangboo around here are saying.Let's listen in. See what the Bangboo around here are saying.‍)
Curious Bangboo: Ehn-na-na... (Wait... you're saying Flutie was the one who scribbled on this poster? But didn't Flutie...?)
Well-Informed Bangboo: Ehn, nhe-ne. (Yeah. Probably jealous that Archy got the lead role and his face printed on the poster. When Archy confronted him about it, Flutie denied the whole thing. The two of them got into a huge fight.)
Well-Informed Bangboo: Ehn-na-nha... (And then the very next day, Flutie got corrupted in the Energy Hub. Archy's been regretting that fight ever since... all over something so small.)
Curious Bangboo: Ehn-nah... (So that's why Archy's kept this King Laer poster all this time...)
Norma: ...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Seems like this is the King Laer poster. So Archy should look like this right now — a feathered bicorne, full formal wear...
(Clues found: Archy's wearing a bicorne; Even rocking a suit)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Norma, we've got a lead. Let's keep looking for Archy. (‍Uh... Norma?Uh... Norma? / ...Norma?...Norma?‍)
Norma: Ah... mm-hm. Right. Sure.
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Track down Archy and his tricorn with the cameras

After eavesdropping on the Bangboo' conversation through the security cameras, we learn that Archy is currently dressed in a fancy suit and a feathered tricorn [sic]. That outfit should make it easy to find him in the theater... No time to waste, start cycling through those cameras and track Archy down!
(Ongoing)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Archy's wearing a fancy suit and a feathered bicorne... Let's find a Bangboo that fits that description.
(Idles)
Bangboo NPC 12: Enneh... (Looks like they've brought in some new talent...)
Normal Bangboo 1: En-neh... (This is the first time I'm seeing this, actually...)
Normal Bangboo 2: Enneh... (Good thing I made it in time...)
(Scan the Normal Bangboo on the left, optional)
(Identity: Theater Audience; Outfit: Baseball Cap)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): No, Archy should be wearing a feathered bicorne...
(Scan the Normal Bangboo on the right, optional)
(Identity: Theater Audience; Outfit: Standard Suit)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Mm...Mm...‍) No, the clothes don't match the description.

(After hacking the third camera)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): That getup... No doubt about it, that's gotta be Archy!
(Idle)
Archy: Enneh... (Angel... Please help me...)
(Monitor the target)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍What's he doing here all by himself?What's he doing here all by himself? / What's that little one doing over here all by himself?What's that little one doing over here all by himself?‍)
Norma: Looks like he's on a remote call — basically the same as us talking on the phone.
Archy: Nhe-ne, ehn... (I'm really scared... I–I don't want to die. There are so, so many things I haven't done yet...)
???: Don't worry, child. Trust me — I'll do everything in my power to protect you and offer you any help I can...
Archy: Ehn, ehn-ne... (Thank you. If something happens... please use the cognitive security key I just gave you... I heard the other Boo on our team gave you theirs, too...)
(Clue found: "Cognitive Security Key")
???: Yes, that's true... I promise your secret is safe with me.
Archy: Nhe, enn-ne... (Thank you, Chief Angel...)

Where Angels Dwell

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story Where Angels Dwell

Video Summary: An expert with remarkable stealth skills.
Story Description: With Fairy's help, monitoring Archy's communications successfully reveals the "Angel's" location — unexpectedly, the signal source is actually inside the CCD. Just then, Norma comes up with a "great idea" for secretly sneaking into the CCD...


Norma: (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍), did you hear that? The voice Archy was speaking to: it's that Angel!
Norma: We've finally got a lead. Can we locate the guy?
Icon Dialogue Talk Fairy, you're up!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): That's your cue, Fairy!
Fairy: Order received, Master. The highly capable AI Assistant Fairy is at your service.
Fairy: Connection established to the call route. Analyzing signal data... Notice: This session uses multiple encryption keys and is being relayed through numerous servers. Please wait patiently, Master...
Norma: You can track the location, right...?
Fairy: Signal source coordinates have been successfully located. The target is in Booastrum's CCD. Notice: I will keep running in the background to narrow down the exact location.
Icon Dialogue Talk What?!
Icon Dialogue Talk That Angel is actually inside the CCD?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): What, the CCD!? Could the Angel we're looking for actually be someone working there?
Norma: No way. Why would Lady Dracaene's subordinates hurt Bangboo?
Icon Dialogue Talk (Share your analysis)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): It doesn't have to be someone who works there. They could just be using the equipment.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): The problem is, even if we know the signal's coming from the CCD, we still can't catch them.
Norma: Why can't we catch them?
Norma: Ohhh~~ I see. Hmph, it looks like you still don't fully understand my strength and resolve.
Norma: There's no way we can just stroll into the CCD through the front gate at this hour. Even if we could, it would probably alert them. But... hehe, I know where the back entrance is!
Norma: The CCD is currently under renovation, so they've been using rail carts to move a lot of equipment and materials in and out.
Norma: With the highly capable Fairy on our side, getting a cart over there shouldn't be a problem!
Fairy: The highly capable Fairy has received your request.
Icon Dialogue Talk Hey, you two!
Icon Dialogue Talk This seems like a bad idea...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Hey, you two! Don't make decisions on your own!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): This doesn't really seem like the best idea... Sneaking into the CCD at night, is that really okay?
Norma: Please, (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍)! I can't think of any other way.
Icon Dialogue Talk ...Alright, you win.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): ...Alright, you win. (‍Like Belle always says, gotta risk it for the biscuit.Like Belle always says, gotta risk it for the biscuit. / Guess we gotta risk it for the biscuit.Guess we gotta risk it for the biscuit.‍)
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Head to the CCD back entrance

Based on the signal source area Fairy located, the Angel, currently on-call with Archy, is inside Booastrum's CCD. Norma proposes using a rail cart to infiltrate the CCD and dig deeper into the true identity of this "Angel"... Head to the back entrance of the CCD now and find a rail cart you can use to sneak inside!
(Approach CCD Square)
Norma: (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍), follow me! The station behind the CCD is this way!
(While crossing CCD Square)
Norma: We can't stay her too long. We don't want Airspace Patrol on our tail.
(Approach the back entrance)
Norma: Almost there, it's just up ahead.
(Interact with the CCD Back Entrance)
Fairy: Master, your secret transport is ready.
Norma: Sounds like your AI assistant has the car ready. Let's go, (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍). If we're too late, the "Angel" might slip away.
Icon Dialogue Danger Let's go now.
Icon Dialogue Talk Wait, not yet.

Operation "Smooth"

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story Operation "Smooth"

Video Summary: When you're absolutely sure nothing can go wrong — that's exactly when it does!
Story Description: (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍) and Norma sneak around to the back door of the CCD. Just as Norma is bragging that she designed the Bangboo security system herself and that sneaking in will be a total breeze, their cover is blown by a patrolling Bangboo.


Shortly after, near the back entrance of CCD—

Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Defeat the patrolling Bangboo

While infiltrating the CCD, we drew the attention of patrolling Bangboo... Take them out fast before things get any messier.
(Enter combat)
Norma: Guess we gotta take 'em down first!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Why are these Bangboo so tough?!
Norma: Because they've gone into high alert mode.
Norma: I cranked up their firepower just a little to help them better deal with criminals...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍NotNot / Uh, notUh, not‍) just a little! You didn't write this in the project proposal (‍eithereither‍), did you?!
(After defeating all enemies)
You team up with Norma to round up the stunned Bangboo—
Norma: Sorry about this... I'm going to have to tamper with your "memories" and erase the part where you saw us... I'll make it up to you later, I promise!
Norma: Alright, now it's like we never even met! Next time we run into each other, we can still keep things friendly~
Icon Dialogue Talk Fairy, how's Angel's signal looking?
Icon Dialogue Talk We didn't spook them, did we?
Fairy: Signal strength is stable and active. The signal has been located in the CCD upper floors area.
Norma: Phew... Good thing we didn't spook them.
Norma: Oh, and (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍)... there's also some... bad news. The CCD is now on alert, and all the elevators have likely been shut down.
Icon Dialogue Talk There's good news?
Icon Dialogue Talk What other surprises are you hiding?
Norma: D—Don't look at me like that! I don't know why so many patrolling Bangboo suddenly showed up here!
Norma: But I swear, as long as we don't mess with the security equipment anymore, this won't happen again.
Norma: As for the elevator issue, I know a secret passage that leads upstairs.
Norma: Follow me.
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Go to the CCD upper levels

That's that. Now let's push on to the upper level of the CCD.
(Head to the next room)
Norma: This way, the secret passage is on the way to the treatment room!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh? You have a secret passage?
Norma: Hehehe~ You'll see for yourself soon enough.
(Enter the Node Stele room)
Norma: See this ring of lights around us?
Norma: Their on and off patterns actually represent a special code!
Icon Dialogue Talk Really? How'd you know?
Norma: N—Never mind that! Anyway, as long as you find a way to light up all the lights around here, a path upward should open!
Norma: There's a drone nearby we can use. Let Eous ride it up and take a look around. He should be able to find the control switch!
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Use the drone to activate the devices around you

According to Norma's intel, using drones to activate all the devices on the wall should unlock the sealed door and open up a path forward.
(After hijacking the drone)
Norma: (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍), try activating the mechanism on the wall!
(If the drone is exited or destroyed)
Norma: Hold on, not all the wall lights are lit yet.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (Let's try again.)
(After charging all the lights)
(The stele transforms into a staircase)
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Continue to the CCD upper levels

Activated the surrounding devices and found the path forward! Now we can continue our infiltration and head for the upper levels.
(Ongoing)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Whoa! There were stairs here all along?
Norma: Hehe, pretty impressive, right? Let's gooo!
(Reach the top of the stairs)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): This is bad. Why are there also Bangboo patrolling here?!
Norma: Huh? That doesn't make sense. We didn't touch the security systems.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Is there something wrong with your tech...?
Norma: Hey, how dare you question my skills!
(After defeating the enemies)

(ProtagonistProtagonist): That shouldn't happen again, right?
Norma: Relax
Norma: We didn't mess with the...

(A nearby door opens, revealing numerous patrol Bangboo)
((ProtagonistProtagonist) and Norma try to sneak away, only to end up running for their lives)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Didn't you say (‍thatthat / itit‍) wouldn't happen again?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Get in the room up ahead!
(They try to block the door behind them)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Quick, don't let them (‍getget‍) in!

(They manage close the door, but quickly find out they aren't alone)

Story Partners in Crime

Video Summary: We meet again, Remielle.
Story Description: To run into Remielle here of all places... she's still as impossible to read as ever. After a tense confrontation, an agreement is finally reached with Remielle, who is also being treated as a suspect, and the decision is made to work together in search of the "Angel."


Remielle: I didn't expect to run into you here. Seems like there's... some special connection between us, doesn't it?
Icon Dialogue Talk What are you doing here?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): What are you doing here?
Remielle: What a coincidence, I was just thinking the same thing.
Icon Dialogue Talk Remielle... it really is you!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Remielle... it really is you!
Remielle: Really is me? Hmm... how did you know I'd be here?
Norma: (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍), who is this? Do you two know each other? Wait, that pink hair... it looks familiar...
Icon Dialogue Talk Don't get too close to her!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Don't get too close to her! She's the wanted fugitive who attempted to assassinate Lady Sunbringer, the first-generation Void Hunter, Remielle Dan.
Norma: Wh—What?! Sh—Sh—Sh—She's that insane Void Hunter who tried to assassinate Lady Sunbringer?!
Remielle: Thanks for the introduction, (‍Mr. WiseMr. Wise / Miss BelleMiss Belle‍). At least you managed to mention both extremes of my reputation. Hello there, little Norma~
Norma: H—How do you know my name?!
Remielle: Not only do I know your name, but I also know that you and your department are currently dealing with a little... trouble.
Icon Dialogue Talk ...Is that a confession to a crime?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): ...Is that a confession (‍to a crimeto a crime‍)?
Remielle: Confession? Right... now that you put it that way, when it comes to trespassing in the CCD in the dead of night, I guess... we're basically the same in that regard...
Norma: D—Don't play dumb! I don't care if you're some Void Hunter or if you tried to assassinate Lady Sunbringer, I'm not afraid of you!
Norma: Why are you disguising yourself as an Angel to trick and hurt innocent Bangboo? What's your real goal?!
Remielle: ...Trick and hurt innocent Bangboo?
Remielle: So, you're saying the Singularity Leakage and damaged Bangboo aren't just caused by Hollow activity, but something else is behind it? What makes you think that?
Icon Dialogue Talk Pretending to be innocent won't work.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Playing innocent won't work anymore, Remielle.
Icon Dialogue Talk Are you saying this has nothing to do with you?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Are you saying... this has nothing to do with you?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): I want to believe you... especially with everything that happened before, but I can't see the attempt on Lady Sunbringer's life as justified. And with the Bangboo, you might be hiding something again, just like before.
Norma: Uh... Feels like there's a lot more history between you two than I thought...
Remielle: Hm... Alright, I think I understand. As for the "assassination attempt"... I'm not going to explain myself. But saying I'm the one harming Bangboo... now that's just an unfair accusation, isn't it?
Norma: But you're right here in the CCD...
Remielle: Hmm... Then let me ask you this, little Norma. Why does being in the CCD automatically make someone the culprit?
Norma: Because we picked up the Angel's signal inside the CCD. That's the culprit we're after.
Remielle: So the signal you tracked down must be in this room right now?
Norma: Huh?! W—Well...
Icon Dialogue Talk Fairy, tell me the current status of the Angel's signal.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Fairy, tell me the current status of the Angel's signal.
Fairy: Understood. I have recalibrated the precise location based on your current position. The Angel's signal is coming from the Airspace Control Tower, and it is currently active.
Remielle: It's around that big clock tower huh... that's pretty far from here.
Remielle: So... I suppose that clears my name? Thank you, mysterious AI assistant.
Fairy: Correction: I am merely stating facts. I had no intention of defending Remielle.
Remielle: Oh my, how cold... just like your master.
Icon Dialogue Talk My turn to ask questions.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Now it's my turn to ask questions. If you're not the Angel, what are you doing in the CCD in the middle of the night?
Remielle: Heh, I was right. You really do enjoy playing Q&A games. Hmm... If I said I was just here for a walk, would you believe me?
Remielle: Alright, the truth is... I'm actually trapped here. Roscaelifer's tech is ridiculously complicated. I just pressed a few buttons, and everything started blaring... Look–
Norma: Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop! Get your fingers off that screen! If you keep this up, you'll alert every guard in the building!!
Icon Dialogue Talk Sorry, Norma. I shouldn't have doubted you.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Sorry, Norma. I shouldn't have doubted you (‍beforebefore‍).
Icon Dialogue Talk Case closed... It was you all along!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Case closed... You're the one who turned the CCD into a battlefield!
Remielle: Well, this is exactly why things should be left to professionals. If I want to get out of here, I can only rely on someone as smart as little Norma.
Norma: Hey, don't think I'll fall for that kind of fake flattery! But you're right. I know the equipment here way better than you and (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍) do!
Icon Dialogue Talk You don't sound like you're not falling for the flattery!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): You don't sound like you're not falling for the flattery!
Remielle: It's not flattery. And your hat's really cute. I like it~
Norma: Hehe, you like my hat too? It's custom-made, you know! This fabric's really hard to find in New Eridu. If you like it, I can send you the link!
Remielle: I'd love that~
Icon Dialogue Talk Wait, hold on—
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Wait, hold on — aren't we getting a little off track here?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Um... Miss... Remielle... We can open the door and get everyone out of here. But... you'll have to tell us what you plan to do once you're outside.
Remielle: Probably... go home and sleep? Believe it or not, at least whatever I planned for tonight... I'm not going to be able to do it anyway. But well... you don't exactly have the right to interrogate me right now, do you?
Norma: Huh?
Remielle: Hmm... How about I give you two choices?
Remielle: One: we keep this standoff going. The result... you'll most likely lose your target and never find that Angel again.
Remielle: And besides, I might be a wanted fugitive, but you two also broke into the CCD. If we get caught, it's a lose-lose situation... Ah, right. You'll probably be the only ones getting caught.
Norma: Ugh... Interacting with this person is like being on an emotional roller-coaster!
Remielle: Don't be mad. I was only speaking hypothetically. Now, option two: cooperation.
Remielle: Playing hide-and-seek with this... Angel sounds kind of fun. Mind if I join?
Remielle: Even if we're keeping things from each other... I don't see why we can't cooperate. And honestly, I've already decided I'm coming with you. You won't be able to get rid of me easily.
Icon Dialogue Talk ...That's not really a choice at all.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): ...That's not really a choice at all.
Remielle: And you never planned to let me just walk away either, (‍Mr.Mr. / MissMiss‍) Schemer.
Norma: Wait, (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍), this person's a wanted criminal! Are we really gonna work with her...?
Remielle: How cold of you, little Norma! Hehe... Looks like I'll have to try even harder from now on to win you over.
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Follow the instructions and open the door

Blocked by another locked door... Try hacking into nearby devices to find a way through.
(After opening Access Control)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Door's open. Let's move.
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Continue to the CCD upper levels

Found a new route! The CCD's upper-level area is almost within reach. Let's move!
(Enter combat)
(Open tutorial [Companion Character Intro] Remielle)
Remielle: Oh? Looks like you've made a full recovery?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): ...It's none of your business.
Norma: Exactly! Mind your own business.
Remielle: Oh, how mean~
(After defeating the enemies)
Norma: Follow me. We can head up on the left.
(Go right, optional)
Remielle: Wait, you're heading the wrong way! Little Norma said we should go to the other side.
(Interact with the Electric Access Control)
Norma: Huh? This hallway door used to be open all the time. It must be because of the alert status...
Remielle: Oh well...
Icon Dialogue Talk Don't act like you've nothing to do with this.
Icon Dialogue Talk At least show some value. Value!
Remielle: Be useful, huh... Fine then.
Remielle: Actually, when I first got up here, I spotted a glowing device next to the closed door on the left. It looked a lot like the one you used to open the door earlier.
Norma: That's the one! Use that terminal to access the nearby cameras and see if you can figure something out.
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Find a way to open the door and use the elevator within

The elevator you need is inside the room! Use what you've learned and figure out how to open yet another door, then find the elevator inside.
(Ongoing)
Remielle: The terminal you're looking for is right over here.
(After accessing the camera)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): We're in. Let's look around for clues.
(After switching to the next camera)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): What's this platform?
Norma: That's the elevator, we're gonna use it to head upstairs in a bit.
Remielle: Let's find a way to open the door first.
(After hijacking the drone)
Norma: The terminal that opens the door is in the next room!
Norma: Careful. Don't alert the mechs.
(After opening Access Control)
Remielle: Not bad~ Let's go.
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Take the elevator to the 3rd floor of the CCD

Follow Norma's lead and take the elevator to the 3rd floor of the CCD.
(After defeating the enemies in the next room)
Norma: There's an elevator we can take up over this way.
(Take the lift)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): Fairy, what's the status on the Angel's signal?
Fairy: Current signal strength is stable.
Icon Dialogue Story Tracked Continue to the CCD upper levels

We're almost at our destination! Keep going, the CCD's upper levels are bound to be hiding plenty of valuable intel, just waiting to be collected and investigated.
(Enter combat)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): This place is making my head spin.
Remielle: Ah~ Looks like I'm not the only one with no sense of direction.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍I can find my way just fine. Don't lump me in with you.I can find my way just fine. Don't lump me in with you. / Nuh-uh! Don't lump me in with you!Nuh-uh! Don't lump me in with you!‍)
Norma: Can you two focus on fighting?! You guys are a mess!
(Approach the door)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): The Angel's right over there. We're so close!
(After opening the Access Control)
Norma: Done! Let's go outside!
(Go outside)
(ProtagonistProtagonist): According to Fairy's intel, the Angel's signal is just across the bridge — somewhere in the lower level of the Airspace Control Tower.
Remielle: That looks like the CCD's offices, doesn't it? Now I'm getting really curious about who this "Angel" actually is.
Norma: Bottom line — once we catch that guy, we'll know what's causing the Bangboo's corruption. Trying to pin this on the ESD? Heh, you're gonna regret that, pal. Norma doesn't play around!
Norma: Remie! If things get messy out there, we're counting on you!
Remielle: Okay, okay, no problem~ I'll show you what a Void Hunter can really do.
Fairy: Alert: Anomaly detected. "Angel" signal has been lost.
Fairy: Strong electromagnetic interference detected near the CCD. Connection to the target has been interrupted.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): What!? How did the signal cut out? Could it be that "Angel" caught on to our tracking...?
Norma: We were this close to catching that guy! I—Is it too late to just charge the place at full speed?
Norma: (‍WiseWise / BelleBelle‍), what do you think? ...Hey, now's not the time to zone out!
(ProtagonistProtagonist): ...Something feels off around here!
