()||9<黑屏1>0,10BGM_Empty: ()||9<黑屏2>BGM_Room:The time is 20:50... ()||<黑屏1>:...At last, RO635 and SOP-II arrive at their target's last-known location according to the maid's neural records. ()||168<黑屏2>:It's a small house located in the slums. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:Why are there so many small houses instead of large buildings here? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:Probably because this area, like many other parts of the city, is still awaiting reconstruction. For whatever reason, they haven't been able to start the process. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(0)||:This is going to make our job difficult. We need to be careful not to alert the neighboring residents. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:Let's inspect the surroundings and make sure there aren't any traps or potential hazards before moving in. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(0)||:...No Doll signal or human life signs detected around the target location. No sign of explosives or off-site connections either. RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:...The door is ajar. RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||<震屏><黑屏1>:Crap! Let's go in! ()||85<黑屏2><闪屏>5:...Slam! +SOP-II runs up to the house and kicks open the door. The place has been completely trashed. A small door leading into a room has been left slightly open. +Through that door, the room has been converted into a digital database, but all the equipment has been destroyed. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||<震屏>:...! +RO, there's a body! ()||:In the corner next to the window is a male body lying face-down. Blood is dripping off the window sill onto the floor. +Once RO635 and SOP-II have confirmed that the house is secure, they begin inspecting the room and the corpse. RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:...He's not breathing anymore. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(0)||:Dammit, we're just a bit too late! M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:I knew it. The destruction of this safe house and the maid's neural meltdown happened at the same time. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(0)||:We did all that work for nothing. Now what? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:...Now what? We keep looking, of course. +Check the equipment. Maybe there's still some data left in them. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(0)||:... (Sighs) Sadly, all of them are completely dead. The internal circuitry has been overloaded by high heat. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:This man activated a self-destruct protocol on the system... The maid was probably killed by the same command. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(0)||:Look on the bright side – maybe the enemy couldn't get anything either? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:Perhaps, but we should investigate some more... M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(0)||: ()||:...RO635 studies the man's body carefully. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(0)||:This IS the informant, right? What's the cause of death? Gunshot wounds? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:Yeah. Small caliber, probably subsonic with a suppressor. +No shell casings can be found at the scene. They've probably been removed. They're thorough... M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(4)RO635||:Which means no one could've noticed what happened in here... M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:He was shot in three places – the lower leg, the arm, and finally the chest. Looks like they were trying to capture him alive. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(4)||:Tsk... Damn it all... +They beat us to it again. Now we can't find out where Ange is... M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(4)RO635||:Are you sure...? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(4)||:What, you have any other ideas? Can you make a dead person talk? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(4)RO635||:No...I mean, is this man really our informant? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(4)||:What? Isn't this the only body here? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(4)RO635||:We're dealing with a really cautious guy. He erased his tracks and prepared all those self-destruct procedures. Not to mention, he's an information broker... Would he let himself get killed so easily...? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(4)||:You mean this isn't him? ()||:RO dips her finger into the puddle of blood and gives it a lick. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(4)||:Eww... RO, that's gross...! M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0);RO635-NoArmor(4)RO635||:This isn't blood. It's a very good imitation...but it's synthesized. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II;RO635-NoArmor(4)||:So...he's human, but his blood is artificial? +I didn't know we have that kind of technology. ()||:RO prods the body, then flips him over. RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:(Shakes head) Who said anything about human? ()||:She feels behind the body's ear with her hand, and his facial appearance suddenly changes. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:Huh?? What just happened?? RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:This is the corpse of a Doll. A model so human-like, I almost got fooled by how real the body texture is. +There's a reset button behind his ear. Now give his face a few pokes. This kind of Doll is designed with the ability to alter their own features freely. They can disguise themselves as someone else. ()||:...SOP-II scrambles over and plays around with the Doll's face. RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:Of course, this model is strictly prohibited, but I'm guessing our informant used it as a stand-in for himself. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:For real...? That's really scary. Who'd have thought such Dolls actually exist? +And how do you know about them...? RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:I've read files about this particular model, but this is the first time I've actually seen one. +This kind of Doll is insanely expensive... They were originally created for entertainment purposes, but were banned after one took part in a political crime. +I'm surprised this guy even managed to get his hands on one... +Still, if it's a Doll lying here, then... M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:Hmm...then the real informant is actually safe at the moment? RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:He disguised the Doll as himself, pulled a switcheroo, then slipped away. But the body hasn't been removed, which means the people after him probably also realized that this was a decoy. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:So now what? How are we supposed to find our informant on the run? RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:There are no footprints outside. No security cameras around either... Let me think... M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:Are there really no clues...? +The dead Doll...didn't leave behind anything? RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:You saw it, SOP-II. He destroyed all the equipment in the house. This Doll has also ceased to function. His neural cloud is probably fried as well. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:Is there anything on the body that would tip us off, like a PDA or something? RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:Let me see...hmm... Doesn't seem likely, but is he holding something in his hand? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:You're right! Gosh, his grip is tight... I'm gonna pry it open! +Wait...a light is blinking... RO, duck!! RO635()||BGM_Empty<震屏>:!!! ()||<黑屏1>:SOP-II hurls herself at RO and drags her out of the room. RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||9<黑屏2>:Ow ow ow ow ow... Could you be a bit more gentle next time...? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:Just be glad that you escaped with your life! RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||BGM_Sneak:For a moment there I thought you were going to slam my head into the ground... +Was that a booby trap...? +Those sneaky bastards. We really can't afford to be careless. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||<黑屏1>:Definitely. We almost got blown... Wait, it didn't explode? ()||85<黑屏2>:SOP-II peers into the room in bemusement. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:It really didn't explode... The light is still blinking... RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:Like it's telling us that something's there... I'll go and check it. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:Wait! What if it's a delay-action bomb? RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:But we won't find any new clues if we just keep sitting here. +Look carefully. That thing is barely the size of half a hand. Even if it blows up, there won't be enough explosives to kill us both, right? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:Uh...okay... ()||:RO and SOP-II approach the Doll's body once again and pick up the blinking device in his hand. RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:This is a...small hard disk... The data seem to be protected by a really secure defense protocol. I'll see if I can decrypt it. M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:Hey, h-hold on! RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:What now? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:It didn't blow up, but what if this is the real trap? Frying your neural cloud with an offensive firewall is a lot more efficient than blowing you to bits! RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:Oh...that is a real possibility... But this is our only clue. We can't just stop here, can we? +Besides, even if my neural cloud did get destroyed, I could simply transfer to a new body using my memory backup... M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:Absolutely not! RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:Huh? M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||:If you go down now...there's no way I can finish this mission on my own... +Not to mention...I don't want to see you...drop dead in front of me...ever again... RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||:SOP-II... +It...it'll be fine! I won't be done in so easily! I'll be right back! M4 SOPMOD IIMod-Noarmor(0)M4 SOPMOD II||<黑屏1>:Hey! Why don't you ever listen to me?! ()||9<黑屏2>:... ()||<黑屏1>BGM_Empty:Before SOP-II can react, RO closes her eyes and plugs herself into the hard disk. RO635-NoArmor(0)RO635||157<黑屏2>BGM_Sneak:Turns out...it's only a simple defense program. Doesn't seem to be a trap as SOP-II suggested... +If it wasn't set up by the enemies, then why didn't they notice this hard disk? +Hmm...never mind. Let's just see if it contains the information that we need. ??;RO635-NoArmor(4)<同时置暗>||<震屏>:GUAAARGH! RO635-NoArmor(4)RO635;||:Right, I knew it... Of course you wouldn't just let me waltz in here. +Self-replicating virus. Honestly, it's kind of insulting if you think that's enough to lock me out. ??;RO635-NoArmor(4)<同时置暗>||<震屏>:GUAAARGH! RO635-NoArmor(5)RO635;||<黑屏1>:I still need to be careful and try not to trash the hard disk too much. +So...ladies and gentlemen, move aside! Here comes Griffin's cleaning specialist! ()||<黑点2>10:
