18 18 301 The sleeping pod begins the air exchange necessary to open the hatch. The inert gas that serves as a barrier is sucked out through the vents of the air conditioning system.
19 19 301 Woosh—
20 20 301 The fresh air from outside instantaneously replaces the industrial-smelling inert gas. While the white-haired girl likes the sweet-smelling fresh air, she is more accustomed to the smell of the inert gas.
26 26 301 The white-haired girl's vision is a blur. She sees a young girl timidly approach Asimov, who is working on the equipment, from behind. She does not seem to dare make a sound. A nearby engineer notices and informs Asimov, who turns around.
27 27 301 Rosa ...Mr. Asimov, the deep probe of Mr. Chrome's M.I.N.D. has been completed in accordance with the course teachings.

29 29 201 2 500058 450
30 30 301 1 Asimov Alright, I'll head over. I'll leave things here to you. 1
31 31 202 1 2 1
32 32 301 Asimov is not at all worried that the nine-year-old girl who stands before him will mess things up. She nods, climbs onto Asimov's high seat, and quietly watches his screen.

35 35 301 1 Engineer Alright, is Mr. Chrome still suffering from the effects of M.I.N.D. deviation? 2
36 36 301 Asimov No, the deviation has been recalibrated by the Gray Raven Commandant. 1
37 37 301 Asimov Based on the readings, there has been no potential for damage or changes found for now. However, we have to be on guard. 1
38 38 301 Asimov Right now, there's only one thing we can be sure of— 1
39 39 301 Asimov glances over at Rosa sitting in front of the screen. She is typing something on her terminal while looking at the records on screen.
40 40 301 Asimov The Glory frame's Inver-Device did encounter an abnormal Punishing Virus overload for unknown reasons. 1
41 41 301 Asimov I built a lot of protection into it to prevent such situations, but it still led to this. 1
42 42 301 Asimov Either the frame had previously undetected defects or there was something odd with the "Mother" he was fighting against. 1
43 43 301 Asimov In short, a deep comprehensive probe of Chrome's M.I.N.D. is needed. Whatever the case may be, any such future incidences must be avoided. 1
44 44 301 Engineer Understood. Is the Gray Raven Commandant still able to help out with calibrations? 2
45 45 301 Asimov Unlikely. Medical care may have improved tremendously, but it will still take time for the commandant to fully heal. 1
46 46 301 Asimov Although the medical department has reluctantly agreed to allow the Gray Raven Commandant to move freely under medical supervision, if 【kuroname】 repeats such risky calibration... 1
47 47 301 Engineer ...I can imagine how they'll react. They'll probably come after us with their bone saws. 2
48 48 301 Engineer ...Alright. 2
49 49 301 Asimov On our end, there are still some things that need to be confirmed, but with Vera taking care of them, I don't foresee too many issues. 1
50 50 301 Asimov Confirm the data and the conclusion. Once that's done, this matter's concluded. 1
51 51 301 Engineer Understood. 2
52 52 401 2 1515
53 53 301 System Data confirmation... Memory Beacon grid projection uploaded to server... comparing... average deviation of 0.0014.
54 54 401 2 1515
55 55 301 System Within acceptable limits... data reconfirmation complete... checklist complete...
56 56 301 The white-haired girl in the sleeping pod completes yet another Babylonia Construct routine inspection. The sleeping pod's glass door slowly opens.
57 57 301 Engineer Good morning, No. 21. 2
58 58 202 1 2 1
59 59 301 No. 21 ...Good morning.
60 60 301 No. 21 knows she must be polite to the engineer carrying out maintenance on her.
61 61 301 No. 21 springs out of the sleeping pod.
62 62 301 No. 21 "Snore."
63 63 301 A white creature dashes out from a dark corner of the sleeping pod and runs circles around No. 21.
64 64 301 After a couple of circles, the white supporting Co-bot stops, as if remembering something.
65 65 301 No. 21 What is it?
66 66 301 The supporting Co-bot's head spins before playing a voice message—
