7 7 301 Hassen Do you still remember that... "School of Sapienism"? 1
8 8 301 Celica ... I don't know what you're talking about. If you're talking about things during the beginning of the Post-Pandemic Age, that's too far in the past for me. 2
9 9 301 Hassen ...I do recall them disappearing during the early Post-Pandemic Age. 1
10 10 301 Hassen A school of more than a million people suddenly declared to the public, "Humanity is dead. We shall sail on this Ark, known as Earth, to the very end." right before they disappeared. 1
11 11 301 Celica ...Seems like they were just talking out their— 2
12 12 301 Hassen Well, saying "humanity is dead" isn't that confounded. 1
13 13 204 2 2
14 14 301 Celica ...That doesn't sound like you. 2
15 15 301 Hassen ...No, I just find their sudden disappearance peculiar. 1
16 16 301 Hassen I proposed this question to Nikola as well. 1
17 17 301 Hassen They may have been an established organization during the Golden Age, but "Sapienism" was condemned as a doomsday cult for claiming that, "humanity's value is in memetics, not genetics." 1
18 18 301 Hassen As a result, the World Government's intelligence agency rounded up the believers on the grounds of suspicious behavior toward the end of the Golden Age. 1

20 20 301 Celica What happened? I never saw a report about that, which means... 2
21 21 301 Hassen Correct, their operation didn't yield any meaningful results. 1
22 22 301 Hassen Special forces raided 300 safe houses and rallies around the world, but not a single person was caught. 1
23 23 301 Hassen Of course, when Nikola reported it afterward, he said they had already disappeared. Their declaration wasn't live. It was pre-recorded. 1
24 24 301 Hassen And they really did... just completely disappear from the world stage. 1
25 25 301 Celica So... you've never found any trace of them after that? 2
26 26 301 Hassen No, they were gone without a trace—never to resurface. 1
27 27 301 Hassen Shortly after, the Punishing Virus began to spread. 1
28 28 301 Hassen The World Government had to quickly adapt to combating the Punishing Virus, so no one cared about the school. 1
29 29 301 Hassen —Perhaps, even today... 1
30 30 301 Celica ...You mean... 2
31 31 301 Hassen If it's really the "School of Sapienism" down there... After all these years, perhaps this will solve a small mystery. 1
32 32 301 Celica What if they run into unforeseen danger in the facility? 2
33 33 301 Hassen The Task Force is perfectly capable of evacuating if necessary. 1
34 34 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Hassen As for any issues after that... That depends on the school's motive for fleeing underground. 1
42 41 301 Lucia raises her blade and defeats the last standing mechanoid before sending the "all-clear."

52 51 301 1 Having resolved the immediate threat, the Gray Ravens and you regroup after splitting up to clear the area.
53 52 301 Lucia There were a lot fewer mechanoids here compared to the group that just left. 3
54 53 301 Lee ...If they were heading for where we came in, they should have been back by now. 2
55 54 301 Lee So, they must've gone somewhere else... 2
56 55 301 Liv The mechanoids are hostile to us, but they don't contain a high level of Punishing Virus. They aren't corrupted, just like the mechanoids we saw before. 1
57 56 301 Lucia Is there any identifiable information? Model? Manufacturer? Serial number? 3
58 57 204 2 10
59 58 301 Lee ...No. 2
60 59 204 2
61 60 301 Lee The only identifiable marking is the symbol hidden by their joints... 2
62 61 301 Lucia ...? Isn't this... 3
63 62 301 Lee Ever since we came in here, this symbol has been on the cloth draped on the buildings and scattered throughout the facility. 2
64 63 301 Lee So, all we can say is that this underground city has to correlate to the mechanoids. 2
65 64 204 2 10
66 65 301 Lee ...But this is plainly obvious at this point. 2

74 73 301 Lee and Liv climb up the wall hurriedly. Lee breaks a dusty window with his elbow, and the two enter the building before throwing down a rope.
75 74 301 AniZhuanchangBegin After making sure that you have climbed in with the rope, Lucia brings up the rear.
84 83 301 What emerges from the darkness in front of everyone is a room that can only be described as "empty."
85 84 301 There are nothing but walls on all sides besides the window they have entered from. There are no doors, let alone sockets, lights, or any other fixtures.
86 85 302 ...What's with this room? 86

91 90 301 Lee It doesn't serve any real function. It's all just a facade. 2
92 91 301 Liv (The signal has reached the bottom level.) 1
