9910301AniZhuanchangEndBabylonia, 24 hours before Cerberus receives their mission.
101012301AniZhuanchangBeginHaving walked along the long, narrow corridor, Nikola stands before the old, wooden door at the end, and he pushes it open to enter the room.
111113101Assets/Product/Texture/Image/BgStory/Bgstory423.jpg
1212144012743
131315301AniZhuanchangEndUnveiled before his eyes is a crass, tasteless, yet ridiculously luxurious study. Nikola takes a look around the room and frowns.
141416301Velvet curtains? A chandelier? The long Black Walnut table? These are all trinkets from ages ago. To have moved these unnecessary items onto Babylonia during an apocalypse is the cruelest mockery to those who were left behind.
151517301And the cause of Nikola's furrowed brows—the silver-haired man leaning back on the leather swivel chair—has finally noticed his presence, and his body shifts.
161618301With his hands on the chair arms, Collins slowly turns around.
1717192011500319400
1818202012500012-400
1919213011CollinsLong time no see, my dear Nicky.1
202022301Collins' tone is fervent with a sense of joy, as if the two of them are actually old friends who have not seen each other for a while.
212224301Time has passed, and Nikola's station and stance are far removed from where they once were. Still, the disgust and contempt he feels about the man before him have not changed from his days in Kurono.
222325301CollinsC'mon, stop staring at me like a mortal enemy. It's been so long! Take a seat and we'll catch up.1
232426202121
242628301Not hiding his displeasure, Nikola sits down on the other side of the long table regardless.
2527292011500319400
2628302012500012-400
2729313011NikolaI'm not here to catch up, Collins. What Kurono has been doing to 【kuroname】 has crossed the Parliament's line.2
283032301CollinsP for Parliament, or P for President, huh?1
293133301Collins savors every word he says.
303234301Nikola...2
313335301Nikola's silence makes Collins laugh.
323436301CollinsTimes are a-changin', and we're now playing in space instead of on earth. Folks like us manage to live this long because we know the rules, and we follow them, and long before this mess started, we made them.1
333537301NikolaDon't lump me in with you.2
343638301CollinsTrue. You've thrown away your past for a spot on the front stage as the dazzling Chief Commander, the boss soldier of Earth's forces... but you and I both know that a person's nature is determined by their upbringings.1
353739301CollinsYou can't bury who you were. Why else would you appear before me as yourself instead of the angry soldier boy you are now? In this room, nonetheless!1
363840301CollinsDon't tell me you just want to condemn Kurono's actions with a serious speech.1
373941301Before Nikola can react, Collins has already interrupted him.
384042301CollinsSure, I invited you, but you were the one who accepted the invitation! Here you stand inside my personal study instead of a proper conference room—you know damn well the nature of this conversation, and still, here you are.1
394143301Collins' voice sounds like a venomous snake, its tongue out flicking by a human's ear, whispering.
404244301CollinsI offer you intel, and you repay me with clearance. Hasn't this been how we work together? Why are you acting like a stranger, dear Nicky?1
414345301NikolaI've turned a blind eye within my authority as much as I could regarding you detaining a Task Force commandant.2
424446301NikolaUnderstand this—I can take away your clearance any moment if I want. Kurono is a shadow that can't go into the light. You wouldn't want your dirty laundry hidden all these years exposed in the sun, would you?2
434547301CollinsNah, you won't do that. We've surely passed the bluffing stage by now, Nicky! You won't go back on your word before you've gotten what you want.1
444648301CollinsYour president is sentimental, but not you. The Gray Raven Commandant is just leverage to you, no more important than any other commandant you got. You aren't going to war to get one person back, because you don't care.1
454749301Nikola makes a light grumble.
464851301NikolaYou bet your leverage on the right table instead of giving it away when you know everyone has their eye on it.2
474953301NikolaMy inaction and passiveness on this matter have caused Hassen's grievance. I have no interest in an open conflict with him.2
485054301CollinsSee, I like talking to you because you put logic before your feelings! Unlike your President Hassen and his crocodile tears.1
495155202121
505256301Nikola's expression shifts for a second.
515357301Collins does not notice it, however.
5254582011500012
5355593011NikolaYou have no more clearance to hold onto our commandant. Even if I were willing to look the other way, neither the public nor the soldiers on the frontline would tolerate it much longer.1
54596320211
556064301Collins shakes his head.
5661652011500319400
5762662012500012-400
586468301NikolaI can't understand what your obsession is with a human commandant.2
596569301CollinsNah-ah-ah—Nicky, you know damn well what it is.1
606670301Nikola...2
616771301Nikola remains silent as Collins claps his hands, satisfied.
626872301CollinsEnough with the bullshit. I want to assign the Gray Raven Commandant on a mission.1
636973301CollinsWe've detected Luna's M.I.N.D. activity on the surface. We need the commandant to track her whereabouts.1
647074301Nikola's fists tighten. He does not agree with Collins' request immediately.
657175301NikolaWhat makes you so sure that it's Luna?2
667377301CollinsIt's like... tens of thousands of M.I.N.D.s bundled together in the same place. She usually keeps hers pretty damn well hidden, but we caught a glimpse last time when the Polyphage was having her for dinner.1
677478301CollinsWe've detected its signature again, and this time, we need the Gray Raven Commandant to track it and find Luna for us.1
687579301NikolaYou don't have the clearance. 【kuroname】 is part of the military's Task Force. The commandant's assignments must be appointed through the system in the Operation Logistics Center.2
697680301CollinsWhich is why you're here, Nicky! A little clearance isn't going to stop our Chief Commander, am I right?1
707781202121
717882301Nikola closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. Then he denies Collins' request staunchly.
7279832011500012
7380843011NikolaAs you said, I'm the Chief Commander. I cannot treat our rules as non-existent.1
748185301NikolaWe spent so much effort rebuilding laws and orders in the world after the apocalypse. They're the framework upon which the world progresses forward.1
758286301NikolaBreak the rule once, and you put a crack in the dam. It won't be long before it crumbles down and all hell breaks loose.1
76838720115003195
7784883011CollinsYou're starting to sound like your hypocritic president.1
788589301CollinsBut I know the truth. This is just my dear Nicky putting up a show. You don't give a shit about any of this.1
798690301CollinsNeither you nor I am satisfied with maintaining this brief stability of the status quo.1
808791301CollinsTo be backed into a corner... This stability is just the calmness inside a coffin. Your ambition lies beyond this, no? Isn't finding a new way forward for humanity and destroying this false serenity what you've wanted?1
81889220211
828993301Collins takes out a folder from a hidden compartment underneath the table as he speaks.
839094301It is an old, brown paper bag, its edges so worn down over time that it looks like it will fall apart upon touch.
849195301Collins throws it onto the table before him carelessly, however. The scent of rotting paper fills the room.
8592962011500319
8693973011CollinsBesides, I've found what you've been searching for all this time, dear Nicky.1
87949820211
889599301Nikola's gaze freezes when it reaches the words on the paper bag, and his pupils shrink slightly.
8997101301Difficult to catalog and transmit, physical means of delivering information have been abandoned by humans for the last hundred years, ever since entering the Information Age.
9098102301Except for classified information. Most people choose paper to back up their secrets unanimously.
9199103301Digitized information is easy to leak, and hard disks and CD-ROMs have a much shorter lifespan than paper. The shortcomings of a piece of paper are strengths when it comes to keeping classified intel.
92100104301Staring at the date on the corner of the paper bag, Nikola subconsciously reaches for it.
93101105301But right as he is about to touch it, a finger presses down on a corner of the bag, holding it there.
94102106301Nikola's eyes shift up from Collins' finger to his face.
95103107301The slight raise of the corner of Collins' mouth reminds Nikola of how he must have looked right now.
96104108301Quietly, his hand withdraws from the bag.
971051092011500319400
981061102012500012-400
991071113011NikolaAs I said, I cannot break the rules.2
100108112301NikolaThe Gray Raven Commandant's assignments must be given through the Operation Logistics Center with an official Construct squad. The mission details must also be officially approved and logged.2
101110114301Nikola...2
102111115301CollinsFrom what I've heard, you've got a Task Force directly under you called Cerberus. It's a remotely connected team—very experimental stuff—and its captain is a Construct from Kurono...1
103112116202121
104113117301Before he finishes, Collins gently lifts a corner of the bag with his finger as if showcasing his trophy before Nikola.
1051141182011500012
1061151193011Nikola...1
107116120301The silence brews.
108117121301Nikola thinks for a moment before coming to a decision.
109118122301NikolaI'll transfer the authority to assign Cerberus to the Operations Logistics Center. The Gray Raven Commandant can be deployed alongside this squad.1
110119123301NikolaYou can send one of yours to oversee the operation, but find someone with a cleaner resume. I don't want people complaining, and I don't want... too much noise made.1
111120124301NikolaJust this once.1
112121125301NikolaWhen it's over, everything goes back to where they belong, including the commandant.1
11312212620211
114123127301Satisfied with the answer he receives, Collins pushes the folder in his hand to the other side of the table before Nikola.
115124128301Nikola picks up the paper bag, standing up and ready to leave.
116125129301Collins stops him once more.
1171261302011500319
1181271313011CollinsWhat's still in that Golden Age trash that gets you all nervous? I had my technicians analyze it, but it's just some experiment data from the Science Council a few years before the Virus destroyed everything.1
1191281322011500012
1201291333011Nikola...1
1211301342011500319
1221311353011CollinsDug up from the ruins by some guy, took a trip through the black market before ending up at Daedalus, only to be recycled by us... Things like this are a dime a dozen.1
123132136301CollinsThey might have been top secrets and cutting-edge technologies back in the day, but they are as useful as a piece of paper in a time like this when everything has to start over from scratch.1
124133137301CollinsI'm just so damn curious. What's inside this that gets our Nicky here all obsessed?1
125135139301CollinsYou don't have to say anything. Soon, we—will—all—find out.1
126136140301CollinsAs long as we're on this ship together, nothing will remain a secret forever.1
127137141301Nikola tilts his head.
128138142201150001213
1291391433011NikolaIf that's the case, then everything about Kurono will not remain hidden forever as well.1
13014014420211
131141145301Collins ignores him, and Nikola steps outside the room.
1321421464012753
133143147301AniZhuanchangBeginThe door closes behind him.

136146150301AniZhuanchangEndBabylonia, 12 hours before Cerberus receives their mission.
1371471512011500012
1381481523011NikolaI've brought the thing back.1
13914915320211
140150154301Nikola throws the paper bag he got from Collins not too long ago before Hassen.
141151155301Hassen catches it, and he immediately takes out the data from the bag and reads it carefully.
1421521562011500012-400
1431531572012500011400
1441541583011HassenDid Collins notice?2
145155159301NikolaNo, I don't think he knew. He thought we disagreed, and I was giving him the Gray Raven Commandant behind your back.1
146156160301NikolaI'm surprised too. I thought you'd reject me when I proposed this. You seem to value the commandant a lot, after all.1
147157161301HassenValuing 【kuroname】 doesn't mean I'll stay in a stalemate with Kurono forever. Getting stuck in an arm-wrestle helps nobody.2
148158162301HassenNot to mention, they've been acting desperate. Being high-profile and blatant isn't their MO.2
149159163301HassenI'm worried that Collins has got his hands on something big—something important enough that gives him leverage to escalate like this.2
150160164301HassenThey said they needed 【kuroname】 to help track down an Ascendant, but given the way and the number of people they're deploying, do you think they're truly hunting an Ascendant?2
151161165301HassenCollins has his eyes set on 【kuroname】 right now, which means 【kuroname】 must be an important part of their plans... Connect the dots, and what do you think we'll find?2
152162166301Nikola's expression turns gradually more solemn as Hassen speaks.
153163167301NikolaSomething that's connected to 【kuroname】 at this point in time... Are you saying that what they're after is—1
154164168202121
1551661702011500011
1561671713011HassenIndeed. It's exactly what you think.1
157168172301HassenOf course, it's only my guess.1
158170174301HassenWe need to know what this all means, so we must act.1
15917217620211
1601731772011500012-400
1611741782012500011400
1621751793011NikolaBut not me... is that so?1
163177182301NikolaI always think that you are more cold and logical than me in some ways.1
164178184301NikolaBut I have to warn you—Collins is not a fool. Even if he didn't notice at first, the moment I revealed my interest in that data, he knew what a trump card he got in his hand.1
165179185301NikolaHe must have had a backup made before giving me the original file.1
166180186301HassenI'm sure he had, but it doesn't matter.2
167181187301HassenCollins' data is incomplete. He doesn't know the more crucial information hidden behind this file.2
168182188301NikolaAnd you're certain this intel will bring us what we want?1
169183189301HassenI'm certain.2
170184190301HassenTo avoid suspicion, we had Murray retrieve a piece of information from Gestalt when Huaxu hacked it.2
171185191301HassenThat information isn't complete, and neither is the one in Collins' hand.2
172186192301NikolaIt appears to be a report on the zero-point reactor.1
173187193202121
1741881942011500011
1751891953011HassenIt is.1
176190196301HassenThese files are the regular data feedback sent to the Science Council by each reactor.1
177191197301HassenBut we've discovered that the data reported by one of the reactors is slightly different. Based on Gestalt's calculation, the data was encrypted to hide a certain set of numbers.1
178192198301HassenAfter we deciphered it, we discovered a set of coordinates hidden within.1
179193199301HassenThe coordinates of the zero-point reactor codenamed Atlantis. Because our information was incomplete, we only managed to get the latitude and the altitude of the reactor.1
180194200301Hassen waves the folder in his hand.
181195201301HassenWe deduced that the longitude is hidden in reports during the same period of time, which ended up being the one that fell into Collins' lap.1
18219620220211
1831972032011500012-400
1841982042012500011400
1851992053011Nikola...I don't understand. Why would someone encrypt the location of their own reactor, only to send that information out?1
186200206301NikolaThis is like the work of a...1
187201207301NikolaA spy.1
188202208301HassenYou're right.2
189203209301NikolaThe World Government was well established at that point. There were no borders or separate governments—why would someone from the Golden Age try to leak this information?1
190204210301HassenJust because there was only one government didn't mean that there were no disagreements.2
191205211301HassenZero-point reactors represented the next energy revolution. Whoever controlled it could reshuffle the world order and control everything.2
192206212301HassenWhich was why they had to hide the location of their reactor.2
193207213301HassenTheir union was just a temporary facade. As long as people are unequal and resources are not divided fairly, there is no true union in this world.2
194208214301Nikola...1
1952092153011AniZhuanchangBeginHassenIt's almost tragic, isn't it? Whether it's the people in the glorious Golden Age or it's us on the brink of extinction, we still have the same struggle... we're still fighting the same fight.2
