544301On a transport craft in low Earth orbit...
655301The engine emits a low and steady hum. After some time, the crews' ears become accustomed to the sound. Rather than finding it disruptive, the uniform rhythm is like white noise lulling the crew with the desire to sleep.
766301The seat belts secure them to their seats, comforting them despite the weightlessness. Yet their need and longing for gravity are instinctive, carved in their genes. There is a sense of emptiness and loss in the vacuum of space.
877301This loss only amplifies the sense of drowsiness.
988301In order to suppress the impulse to close your eyes and take a nap, you slowly shift your gaze to the porthole.
1099301You see the quiet universe dotted with stars.
111111301If it were not for the hum of the engine in your ears, there would be no sensation of the ship moving.
121212301The sense of emptiness continues to escalate.

145149146301AsimovSome of the teams that weren't dispatched during the last large-scale ground operation may be unaware of this. So, I'll explain it briefly.1
146150147301AsimovAs you can see, during our last ground operation, we uncovered dark red tides containing new—1

148152149301AsimovNew—forms of the Punishing Virus.1
149154151301AsimovHowever, this is definitely not a natural phenomenon caused by the explosion and proliferation of red algae in the conventional ecological sense. This entity has nothing to do with water.1
150155152301AsimovAfter conducting an analysis of samples, the red liquid you see is the Punishing Virus itself.1
151156153301AsimovOne of our Construct teams engaged in a direct confrontation with the Ascendants during a previous operation.1

1551601573011Nikola suddenly steps forward and interrupts Asimov.
156161158301NikolaGet to the point, Asimov.2
157162159202121
1581631602011500011
1591641613011HassenNikola, let Asimov present whatever information he feels is pertinent to the mission.1
16016516220211
161166163301Asimov furrows his eyebrows, seemingly slightly displeased, then continues speaking.
1621671642011500004
1631681653011AsimovI won't repeat the specific details of the operation, only the results.1
164169166301AsimovThe commandants present who have participated in previous operations have most likely encountered new forms of Corrupted.1
165170167301AsimovThese enemies are unlike conventional Corrupted. Instead, they are a form of pure Punishing Virus, possessing apparent biological features.1
166171168301AsimovMore specifically, they represent an evolution of the Punishing Virus—Punishing Hetero-Creatures.1
167172169301AsimovThe specific mechanism and reason are unknown. We don't know why the Punishing Virus is capable of self-evolution.1
168173170301AsimovThe only thing we can say for certain is that they are created by the Punishing Virus within the Red Tide.1
169174171301AsimovThe Red Tide will devour machinery and organisms, then decompose them into nourishment for breeding Hetero-Creatures.1
170175172301AsimovOriginally, after repelling the Ascendants, the proliferation of the Red Tide began to diminish.1
171176173301RImgBg1DisableAsimovHowever, we received a transmission from the recon team twenty-four hours ago.1

175180176301Asimov—The Red Tide has resurfaced.
176181177301AsimovThe proliferation is different from last time. So, we didn't realize the severity until it was already too late.
177182178301AsimovThe Red Tide is like a relentless cancer, going into remission only to recur anew.
178183179301AsimovThe Red Tide initially lurked in an underground cavern that was designed as nuclear fallout shelter by City 075. It circulated through the city's underground waterways before reaching critical mass and emerging onto the surface.
179184180301RImgBg1DisableAsimovWe dispatched our recon team to the city ruins to ensure that it was under our supervision.

181186181101Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/BgStory46.jpg
1821871822011500004
183188183301RImgBg1Enable1AsimovHowever, the characteristics of the Red Tide seem to fluctuate without rhyme or reason. In this regard, it's not a tide in the traditional sense but more of a fluid organism that can act autonomously.1
184189184301AsimovPlus, the underground cavern was built in secret, so many places are in our blind spots. Some underground waterways connect to nearby rivers through an intricate network of pipelines. Even if the rivers have dried up, the riverbeds and ravines are still there.1
185190185301AsimovA portion of the Red Tide was able to slip out of the city undetected through these blind spots.1
186191186301AsimovMoreover, as you just saw on the screen, the Red Tide has formed tributaries along the surface of the wasteland.1
187192187301AsimovAfter receiving this information from our scouts on the surface, the Science Council has conducted emergency tests on this form of the Red Tide.1
188193188301AsimovFortunately, this Red Tide isn't as rampant as the first time, nor has it expanded to the point of becoming an unstoppable deluge.1
189194189301AsimovUnfortunately, its distribution is still far too prolific. The Red Tide has formed a real river, dispersing into countless smaller tributaries.1
190195190301AsimovAfter calculating the course of these tributaries, we found one thing.1
191196191301AsimovThey are headed toward—1
1921971922021
193198193301Asimov's finger swipes the screen, displaying a wider version of the map.
194199194301His fingertip points to a large blue sector.
195200195301...The ocean.
1962011962011500004
1972021973011AsimovIt's heading toward the shoreline.1
198203198301AsimovIf we allow the Red Tide to reach the shoreline, there's no turning back.1
199204199301AsimovUnlike the ocean, land serves as an inorganic buffer zone that can block the Red Tide. There is no better medium for the wanton proliferation and spread of Red Tide than water.1
200205200301AsimovThe whole sea will become corrupted, devoured and assimilated by the Red Tide.1
201206201301AsimovBy that time, the Punishing Virus will spread to every corner of the world.1
202207202301AsimovIn order to curb the spread of the Red Tide, Babylonia has formulated a plan to bombard the Red Tide with the Longinus Arsenal, referencing the plan made during the battle at the space station.1
203208203301AsimovThe first step of this plan is to obtain the exact coordinates and location of the Red Tide.1
204209204301AsimovDuring the Golden Age, you only needed to send a request to satnav system to obtain the specific coordinates for an area.1
205210205301AsimovBut now, these satellites have become corrupted by the Punishing Virus, so we can no longer rely on them.1

211216211301AsimovAs you wish, Mr. President.1

21321821320211

215220215301Asimov nods then takes a step back.
216221216301HassenCelica.2
21722221740121515
218223218301Celica presses a button. The movable panel in the center of the war table separates into two sections with a crisp pop as a small platform rises up from within.
219224219301To everyone's surprise, a long black hexagonal needle, nearly 1.5 meters in length, appears.
220226221301HassenYour task is to locate the edge of the Red Tide, insert the bit domain node, activate it, then protect it until you receive the evacuation order from Babylonia.2
221227222301HassenThe total coverage must include all of the Red Tide tributaries. We need to remove it all at once to ensure that no residual tide is left this time.2
222228223301HassenIf you are attacked by Hetero-Creatures during this period, hold your position to ensure the integrity and security of the bit domain node.2
223229224301HassenIn order to ensure that this operation goes according to plan, we will saturate our deployments, positionings, and attacks.2
224230225301HassenEight teams will be deployed to execute this calibration mission. Each team is composed of an elite task force led by a commandant and several Construct squads.2
225231226301HassenThe elite task force led by the commandant will be responsible for deploying the node, while the Construct teams will be responsible for protecting them in the interim.2
226232227301HassenHopefully, all eight bit domain nodes will be deployed—that's the only ideal situation.2
227233228301HassenHowever, Babylonia needs at least three bit domain nodes to be successfully deployed in order to obtain accurate enough coordinates.2
228234229301HassenIf you have any questions, please raise them now, and Asimov will explain the details to you.2
229235230302What is a bit domain node?231No questions.242
23023623120221
2312372322011500004
2322382333011AsimovHmm... Where to start?1
233239234301AsimovIt's not overly technical. It's a rush job used to temporarily replace satellites.1
234240235301AsimovThe satnav system continuously broadcasts its current coordinates and time.1
235241236301AsimovHowever, thanks to the Punishing Virus, there are no navigation satellites available in low Earth orbit, so we have to use bit domain nodes instead.1
236242237301AsimovWhen they're deployed on the surface, they will measure the distance and angle between the other nodes, then continuously broadcast a signal to space.1
237243238301AsimovAfter receiving the signal, Babylonia will calculate the specific coordinates of each node, then delineate the attack range for the Longinus Arsenal.1
238244239301AsimovBabylonia will inform you after successfully receiving the signal and calculating the coordinates. Until then, you can't retreat.1
239245240301AsimovIt should be noted that the current orbital altitude of Babylonia allows us to orbit Earth in about two hours. The signal from the nodes will only be received when passing through the airspace within the range of the nodes.1
240246241301AsimovThis is also why you need to defend the nodes upon activation.1
24124724220221
2422482432011500004
2432492443011AsimovAre there any other questions?1
244250245301AsimovAlright, there's just one more thing I'd like to add.1
245251246301AsimovUnlike when the Red Tide was found in City 075, the consistency... is more like running water than thick mud this time. We aren't sure why.1
246254249301AsimovAccording to monitoring reports, low tide concentration is within the range of normal Punishing zones.1
247255250301AsimovThis is one of the reasons why the recon team failed to notice that the Red Tide had moved.1
248256251301AsimovThankfully, however, this means that the protective devices enhanced by the Science Council on such short notice are sufficient for working in proximity to the Red Tide for the duration of the mission.1
249257252301AsimovHowever, it's for only a short duration. Avoid close contact with the Red Tide after landing, especially during high tide.1
2502582532011500011
2512592543011HassenThat should suffice.1
252260255301HassenSeems like everyone fully understands the mission and the gravity of our dilemma.1
253261256301HassenThis presents an important opportunity for Babylonia to launch an attack. However, we need to change orbit and reduce altitude to commence the attack, which puts us at risk of intersecting the network of corrupted satellites. As such, our anti-air defenses won't allow us to remain in position for very long.1
254262257301HassenSimilarly, your mission is not to annihilate Hetero-Creatures, but to deploy the bit domain nodes.1
255263258301HassenThe nodes aren't particularly difficult to deploy, but in a strategic sense, this mission is crucial. It requires a high degree of collaboration and team awareness from all of you.1
256264259301HassenAvoid head-on confrontations and needless acts of heroism that do not otherwise serve the success of the mission. Our top priority is to protect the nodes until Babylonia receives the coordinate data.1
257265260301HassenI know that the commandants of the task forces present are among the most elite. I do not question your ability. However, this operation needs neither personal heroism nor combat ability.1
258266261301HassenWhat matters most are judgment and decision-making for the overall benefit of the mission.1
259267262301HassenMost of you are used to fighting solely with your own team. So for this operation only, I have specifically arranged Hans to act as the chief commander for the calibration operation at ground level.1

2632712663011Hassen slightly turns to one side. The silver-haired man standing behind Hassen in stern silence since the beginning steps forward and salutes.
264272267301HansYes, Mr. President.2
265273268301Some of the team captains present show faint expressions of confusion on how an elderly man, seemingly a few years older than even Hassen, is serving as the chief commander for such an important mission.
266274269301HassenFor safety reasons, only the commandant of each task force has the authority to deploy their bit domain node.1
267275270301HassenPlease make accurate judgments and verify with Chief Commander Hans before activating your bit domain node to ensure that Babylonia receives the most accurate coordinates.1
268276271301HassenThe rise and fall of the Red Tide will greatly affect the real-time topographic changes within the combat zone. There may have already been significant changes within the duration of this meeting.1
269277272301AniZhuanchangBeginHassenIn case of emergency, please follow Chief Commander Hans' orders...1

278286281301HansDon't question my judgement. Obeying orders is the first requirement of a soldier.1
279287282301HansI hope the forces of Babylonia nowadays won't let me down.1

2973053003011LeeCommander Chief Hans was born in the Golden Age. He experienced the Post-Pandemic Age and the Acadia Evacuation first-hand.1
298306301301LeeAfter that, he continued to work in the Center for Combat Intelligence as one of its core members.1
299307302301LeeI didn't expect that this operation would need someone of his caliber to join us...1
300308303301LeeI'm sure he's seen his fair share of warfare and bloodshed, just like the President. He's bound to be strict on others.1
301309304301LeeDon't take to heart what just happened.1
302310305302Worried about me, Lee?306Thank you.307
303311306309301LeeI just don't want my commandant to worry about such trivial matters.1
304312307301Lee turns his head slightly and scoffs quietly.
305313308301LeeI'm only stating a fact.1
306314309301LeeHis personal information is not confidential and can be accessed directly in the archives.1
307315310301LeeThere is nothing worth talking about in private.1

335344339301The red-tinted earth, the blue ocean. Rolling storm clouds along the tropics dancing in the stratosphere, quietly shrouding the Earth.
