BossJustice(0)Judge||:...Resume recording. +I've found several simulation chambers that are still functional. +I'll be entering them to investigate now. ()||:She isn't picking up hostile signals, so at the very least she can be sure that there are no enemies here. +For that reason, it is even more imperative that she understands what kind of secrets these still-running simulators are hiding.

A woman wearing a thick and heavy-looking outfit is standing over an operating table in the middle of the room, hard at work. +Although the temperature inside the room is very realistic, Judge is fully aware that this is merely a virtual, projected image.

Immediately after that, two humans pass through her body and approach the woman in front of her. ()Relics Agency Officer||<分支>1:*****! ()??||<分支>1:... ()||<分支>1:The woman performing the operation turns around, but her face is obscured by static and jumbled pixels, making her look like a movie monster. ()Relics Agency Officer||<分支>1:We received an internal report about this and have verified its authenticity. +Doctor **, you are charged with using experimental Relic data from a secret project without permission and committing severe violations of academic ethics and integrity. +Do you have anything to say in your defense? ()??||<分支>1:...You're nothing but short-sighted fools. There's no way to advance our research through conventional means. +You morons living in your bubble of bureaucracy have no idea what real science is! ()Relics Agency Officer||<分支>1:You've been involved in Relics research for many years and even helped draft the code of ethics. Actively breaking it is utterly deplorable. +Though many people have pleaded on your behalf, we must close down your lab and revoke all privileges that you enjoy. +*****, you are fired.

However, it is no longer aglow with electronic activity. +Once the system detected Judge's presence, it automatically wiped all the data stored in the room. ()||<分支>1<黑屏1>: ()||<分支>1<黑屏2>657:...

()||<分支>2AVG_20Winter_Drink_Tea:Clink. +The melting ice cubes inside the glass bounce off the interior with a crisp sound. +A woman sits alone in the center of the room, her face obscured by jumbled pixels and static, making her completely unidentifiable. +Then, a gentleman approaches her.

Judge reaches out to touch the wall beside her, but her hand goes clean through it. +The apartment windows are covered by curtains and it seems to be night outside, because the interior is very dark. +On the far side of the room is a large screen, and there is a set of active earphones on the empty seat before it.
