11 11 301 As the last Corrupted falls, the blue-hued space falls silent once again. Several tropical fish stare at the uninvited "guests" through the thick glass that houses them.

18 18 201 1 500498

|
|
19 19 301 1 Chiko looks down at her terminal and finds a new imaging document there.
|
|||
|
|
20 20 301 However, there are also multiple obstructions interfering with the signals within the detector's range. There is no way to pinpoint the location of a specific target.
|
|||
|
|
21 21 301 Chiko nods and continues asking.
|
|||
|
|
22 22 301 Chiko How's the hacking on the surveillance authorization going? 1
|
|||
|
|
23 23 301 ...She hears no answers, just the sound of the Purifying Force members moving around.
|
|||
|
|
24 24 204 1 4
|
|||
|
|
25 25 301 Chiko What's the status on the cameras? 1
|
|||
|
|
26 26 301 Chiko raises her voice.
|
|||
|
|
27 27 301 ??? Why are you kicking me, Norris?
|
|||
|
|
28 28 301 She can hear the mumbling from the back of the team.
|
|||
|
|
29 29 204 1 14
|
|||
|
|
30 30 301 Chiko sighs, frustrated by how badly her team is working together.
|
|||
|
|
31 31 204 1
|
|||
|
|
32 32 301 Almost every member of the Purifying Force is used to working alone. There has never been an operation that requires a team of more than five ever since the Purifying Force was formed.
|
|||
|
|
33 33 301 Not to mention that the Purifying Force has enlisted many members from other squads, as well as new recruits fresh out of school, leading to the current situation.
|
|||
|
|
34 34 301 ??? I'm sorry. Were you asking for me, Vice-Captain?
|
|||
|
|
35 35 301 Chiko takes a deep breath and calms herself, asking the same question the third time.
|
|||
|
|
36 36 204 1 4
|
|||
|
|
37 37 301 Chiko Have we gotten access to the cameras? 1
|
|||
|
|
38 38 201 1 500028
|
|||
|
|
39 39 301 1 ??? C-copy that, Vice-Captain. The hacking operation hasn't been completed yet at the moment... 1
|
|||
|
|
40 40 301 A brief commotion of panic comes from the back. A young Construct is staring at the terminal, his fingers flying all over the keyboard.
|
|||
|
|
41 41 301 His name is printed on the custom terminal—Delapoer.
|
|||
|
|
42 42 301 Delapoer The security system here isn't using the popular encryption method from the Golden Age. It's a bit difficult to crack it from the outside... 1
|
|||
|
|
43 43 301 Delapoer But if you can give me another 15 minutes... no, 10 minutes... 1
|
|||
|
|
44 44 201 1 500498 14
|
|||
|
|
45 45 301 1 Looking at the corpses on the floor and her injured teammate, Chiko contemplates for a moment.
|
|||
|
|
46 46 204 1 4
|
|||
|
|
47 47 301 Chiko That's longer than we can afford. We've encountered five Corrupted attacks already. Who can say when the next one's coming? 1
|
|||
|
|
48 48 301 Chiko How long will it take if we hack it from an access point within the administrative room? 1
|
|||
|
|
49 49 201 1 500028
|
|||
|
|
50 50 301 1 Delapoer Copy that, Vice-Captain... If I have access to the administrative room, I can transfer the virus directly to reset the system authorization. 1
|
|||
|
|
51 51 201 1 500498 4
|
|||
|
|
52 52 301 1 Chiko I'm adjusting our objective. Prioritize making our way to the administrative room and access to the cameras. 1
|
|||
|
|
53 53 301 Chiko And stop saying "copy that" before every sentence, rookie. We don't need your habits from boot camp in the field. 1
|
|||
|
|
54 54 201 1 500028
|
|||
|
|
55 55 301 1 Delapoer Copy—Understood, Vice-Captain. 1

56 56 201 1 500394
|

|
|
57 57 301 1 Construct A But our mission here is to search for the Red-Tide-worshipping cult "Scarlet Revelation" that got tricked here by the Ascendants. The higher-ups won't be happy if we get sidetracked and get them killed. 1
|
|||
|
|
58 58 201 1 500498 4
|
|||
|
|
59 59 301 1 Chiko If they were indeed tricked here by the Ascendants as the intel said, they could be monitoring us right now. 1
|
|||
|
|
60 60 301 Chiko It's already unusual that this "Copperfield Aquarium" is still running. We should at least get the security cameras on our side. 1
|
|||
|
|
61 61 301 Chiko Pack up, team! Check your ammo and prepare to go. 1

75 75 301 1 Delapoer Ah?! Don't startle me, Norris... 1
|
|||
|
|
76 76 301 1 Norris Why on earth did you apply for the Purifying Force if you're so easily scared... 2
|
|||
|
|
77 77 301 1 Norris And what's wrong with you today? You can usually hack into small cameras like this just with your toes! Are you getting stage fright joining a big operation for the first time? 2
|
|||
|
|
78 78 301 1 Norris Or is the customized terminal I gave you not to your liking? I remember that you used to need the same pillow or you couldn't sleep well. Aren't you still using Sleeping Pod 3? Does it apply to terminals as well? 2
|
|||
|
|
79 79 301 1 Delapoer My toes... Stop exaggerating... 1
|
|||
|
|
80 80 301 1 Delapoer shakes his head, bombarded by his terrible friend's endless questions.
|
|||
|
|
81 81 301 1 Delapoer The terminal is great. Like I said, the encryption here is uncommon. 1
|
|||
|
|
82 82 301 1 Delapoer looks confused as he says that.
|
|||
|
|
83 83 301 1 Delapoer But most assets Copperfield left on the surface use the same encryption method. This is the first time I've seen something like this. 1
|
|||
|
|
84 84 301 1 Norris Maybe the guy was getting creative that day... or perhaps the Ascendants altered the encryption, haha... 2
|
|||
|
|
85 85 301 1 Delapoer shivers, quickly covering Norris' mouth.
|
|||
|
|
86 86 301 1 Delapoer Knock on wood! I don't want to see any Ascendants today! 1
|
|||
|
|
87 87 301 1 Norris You're part of the Purifying Force now. Sooner or later you'll run into them. 2
|
|||
|
|
88 88 301 1 Norris easily removes his hold and rests a hand on his shoulder instead, speaking to him earnestly.
|
|||
|
|
89 89 301 1 Norris This is part of growing up, you know? 2
|
|||
|
|
90 90 301 1 Delapoer You talk like you had met an Ascendant before... 1
|
|||
|
|
91 91 301 1 Delapoer knows the person before him. Had Norris survived an encounter with an Ascendant with an intact speech module, Delapoer would have had to disable his own audio module, or he would never have heard the end of it.
|
|||
|
|
92 92 301 1 Norris Haha! Even though a new Ascendant pops up every other day, and many of them showed up during the Kowloong War, I still haven't met one! I'm kind of lucky, I guess. 2
|
|||
|
|
93 93 301 1 Norris My luck has to continue, right? 2

|

98 98 301 1 Norris I have to go. 1
|

|
|
99 99 301 Norris pats Delapoer on his shoulder as he walks past his friend.
|
|||
|
|
100 100 301 Norris Don't you worry even if we run into Ascendants. You specialists are rare in the Purifying Force. 1
|
|||
|
|
101 101 301 Norris You'll be safe with us in the front. 1
|
|||
|
|
102 102 301 Norris And Vice-Captain is with us, too. Not the best reputation, sure, but her skills on the battlefield are unmatched. 1
|

113 113 301 RImgBg1Shake "BANG!"
|
|||
|
|
114 114 301 A bullet lands right next to where Norris is standing. The squad leader urging Norris to return to his post is pointing a gun at him, with smoke still coming out of the barrel.
|

119 119 301 Norris I'm coming! 1
|

|
|
120 120 301 Norris By the way, I've requested a transferal to your squad after this mission. We can watch each other's back in the future. 1
|
|||
|
|
121 121 202 1
|
|||
|
|
122 122 301 With that, Norris rushes to the front of the troop. Delapoer sighs, looking at Norris getting further and further away.
|
|||
|
|
123 123 201 1 500028
|

124 124 301 1 Delapoer Don't you jinx it. 1

125 125 202 1
|

|
|
126 126 301 Packing up his terminal, Delapoer looks up casually and finds the tropical fish in the tank staring at the troop of Purifying Force members.
|
|||
|
|
127 127 301 This antique of a facility from the Golden Age is still running without issues, even to this day.
|
|||
|
|
128 128 301 Out of nowhere, Delapoer suddenly wonders if the fish in there consider the humans some aliens trapped in their own glass cages.
|
|||
|
|
129 129 301 The members of "Scarlet Revelation" believe the dead are reborn in the Red Ttide. Since it retains their memories, data, and consciousness, the Red Tide Projections are considered echoes of their lives.
|
|||
|
|
130 130 301 The difference in their forms and living habitats makes it impossible for them to communicate. Just as how fish cannot understand humans, humans cannot understand the lives in the Red Tide...

138 138 301 The facility might have been running, but how could the fish survive this long without anyone to look after them?
|
|||
|
|
139 139 301 This is a well-maintained graveyard, but a graveyard nonetheless. There should be nothing but rotten corpses inside.

|

|

141 141 301 "Delapoer" walks away from his team, slowly walking toward the group of fish that has been staring at him. The closer he gets, the closer the fish approaches.
|
|||
|
|
142 142 401 1 2650
|
|||
|
|
143 143 301 Thousands of fish adhere to the glass on one side, their eyes forming a giant insect-like compound eye, the gaps between the eyeballs filled by their colorful bodies.

260 260 301 Hassen It is a new group that believes the Red Tide can resurrect the dead. 1
|

|
261 261 301 Hassen From the testimonials we gathered, they were a small group of 13 before gradually expanding into a group of thousands. 1
|

|
|
262 262 301 Hassen The original 13 that started the group call themselves the "13 Revelationists". 1
|

|

263 263 302 ... 264
|

|
|
264 264 301 Hassen They haven't done anything as fanatical as pushing or luring people into the Red Tide yet. 1
|

|
|
265 265 301 Hassen But, recently, the 13 Revealationists all received invitations from an unknown Ascendant one after another. 1
|

|
266 266 301 Hassen The Ascendant promised them rebirth through the Red Tide if they showed up at a specific location and passed the Ascendant's test and filtering. 1

267 267 301 Hassen Even though the 13 only considered "Rebirth through the Red Tide" a tale of solace, any comfort they could find turned into a lifeline in these desperate times. 1

277 277 302 Were the Ascendants trying to turn the people into one of them?
|

|
|
278 278 301 Noan mentioned that it was not humans but Lithos who turned him into a Construct. You do not know how or why, but the Ascendants also seem to possess Construct technology.
|
|||
|
|
279 279 301 Hassen Not really. Their situations were different from Noan's. 1
|
|||
|
|
280 280 301 Hassen They all tested negative for Tantalum-193 affinity in conservation areas in the past. There was no way they could become Constructs. 1
|
|||
|
|
281 281 301 Hassen And we've found that the technology used on Noan's frame was more or less identical to ours apart from the anomaly in his M.I.N.D. 1

282 282 301 Hassen In theory, even the Ascendants couldn't turn them into Constructs. 1

331 331 301 DialogEnable Bianca That's right. It's the new technology at the core of the Stigmata frame. 1
|
|||
|
|
332 332 301 According to Bianca, the lamp-shaped "Phantom Tracer" can help her reconstruct the past in a set area.
|
|||
|
|
333 333 301 The "Spear of F.O.S." that Gray Raven used could do the same as long as there are functional digital devices on the scene if this is all the tracer is for.
|
|||
|
|
334 334 301 But...
|
|||
|
|
335 335 301 Bianca Unlike the Spear of F.O.S., the Phantom Tracer can read part of the data stored within the Punishing Virus before deciphering it with an enhanced version of the Spear of F.O.S. 1
|
|||
|
|
336 336 301 Bianca Limited by the Construct hardware, we cannot perform the same kind of analysis and simulation as a dedicated machine. A machine like that, however, is easily infected by the Punishing Virus, which limits its mobility. 1
|
|||
|
|
337 337 301 Bianca The Spear of F.O.S. Asimov invented can be used by Constructs, but it only works on the data stored inside functional digital devices. 1
|
|||
|
|
338 338 301 Bianca The "Phantom Tracer" fills the gap between them. Given how the surface is filled with the Punishing Virus, we can use this tracer to figure out what happened to an area in the past. 1
|
|||
|
|
339 339 201 1 500166 5
|
|||
|
|
340 340 301 1 Lucia So the Punishing Virus is capable of storing data... Now that I think about it, the Red Tide Projections have proven to show similar traits. 1
|
|||
|
|
341 341 201 1 500533
|
|||
|
|
342 342 301 1 Bianca According to the researchers, they have been investigating this property of the Punishing Virus for a long time, dating back to before even the Red Tide was first discovered. 1
|
|||
|
|
343 343 301 Bianca But it wasn't until Noan's recent appearance that gave them the final piece of the puzzle. 1
|
|||
|
|
344 344 302 Using the Phantom Tracer will lead to M.I.N.D. deviation? 345
|
|||
|
|
345 345 301 Although you do not understand how the Phantom Tracer works, it is clear to you that deciphering information from the Punishing Virus is not as easy as clicking open a document from a terminal.
|
|||
|
|
346 346 301 Bianca Yes. If a Deep M.I.N.D. connection isn't established after running the tracer for a certain amount of time, it can lead to permanent damage and deviation to the M.I.N.D. 1
|
|||
|
|
347 347 301 Bianca And given that the deciphering process involves the Punishing Virus, establishing a Deep M.I.N.D. connection while the tracer is running exacts a heavier toll on the commandant than usual. 1
|

348 348 302 How long do we have? 349

|

|
|
352 352 302 Bianca, has Stigmata been calibrated and tested in simulations? 353
|
|||
|
|
353 353 301 Noan only arrived on Babylonia a while ago. If the researchers were only able to complete the Phantom Tracer after Noan's appearance, then Stigmata must not have been made for long.

|
|||
|
