The battle between mechanoids continues.
The dull impacts of weapons can be heard all around, followed by the sound of explosions and electric surges.
Even though the alarm echoes throughout the underground city, the mechanoids show no signs of stopping.
Without their leaders at the command, the mechanoid battle devolves into chaos. Not that orders are necessary...
When they just need to kill those that are "different."
They just need to "keep fighting."
For these mechanoids, it is obvious that this has been written in their underlying code.
We! Need! War!
To the death! To the death!
To the death! To the death!
Destroy! Destroy! Only our faction! Can rule the world!
Destroy! Destroy! Only our faction! Can rule the world!
Woosh... Woosh...
Clang... Clatter... Wham... Ka-cha...
Shuffle... Smack... Scratch...
...
The battle between mechanoids continues.
All of this happens as the sudden sound of the alarm causes all of you to return to your senses.
After their "declaration" to the world, the whole world was left in shock.
Yes, after all, it was the first time that a human group declared a "break" from humanity.
After that, even the newly integrated World Government Intelligence Agency was mobilized for this purpose.
You know how it ended. They had planned for it.
...It's amazing that they managed to put everyone in hiding before making that kind of "declaration."
It's not inconceivable. Everyone knew that the School of Sapiens was preparing for something, just not that they were planning to "break" from humanity.
—At that time, humanity was booming and the Golden Age was about to usher in a paradigm shift with interstellar colonization.
If you had announced at that time that you were going to break from humanity, I would've thought you were crazy.
...Yet they still did it.
Correct. And only now did we rediscover their existence.
...Who knows if the Gray Ravens have been able to carry out their mission without any issues.
Asimov just informed me over the comms that they've gone significantly deeper underground, which has temporarily disabled remote communication.
...Are you worried about them?
There's no point in being worried.
I think we can believe [player name].
Because the commandant is a Chief from F.O.S.?
No, because of [player name]'s belief in others.
Even if [player name] sees the darkness buried within this world, the commandant still manages to find one's own direction in life.
...I really have no idea how you have so much insight into others.
That's why I am the President, and you are not.
...We've finished our investigation of the area, but something doesn't add up.
There's no sign of fighting between the mechanoids in the buildings.
But they keep moving toward somewhere deeper inside... as if they have found something.
Judging from what we saw earlier, there may also be mechanoids similar to the "defects" here.
If they are in good condition, we may be able to ask for some information about this underground city.
Roger!
