A solitary steel bridge spans across the sand-swept wasteland.
Yes. According to the survey results, the source of the interference should be somewhere nearby.
Before her words are finished, Liv suddenly pauses as if sensing something.
...Wait!
You all stop in your tracks simultaneously right as you are about to step onto the bridge.
I'm detecting a new signal approaching you... It's moving extremely fast!
How far is it?
It's very close!
Phew—
Yellow sand churns as a gust of wind cuts through the thick dust. Accompanied by the sound of rushing air, a slender figure descends from above, landing gracefully in front of the bridge.
You all immediately enter a defensive stance, your blades unsheathed and your guns loaded, ready to strike.
However, as the dust gradually settles to reveal an elegant silhouette, all of you freeze in surprise.
Commandant... and Lucia and Lee from Gray Raven?
The unexpected encounter momentarily stuns everyone. After putting away your weapons and exchanging brief greetings, you explain the purpose of your mission to Hanying.
Investigating this facility? It seems our objectives are quite similar.
I was sent by Zavier to investigate the situation here.
Zavier...
You remember him as the optimistic awakened machine from the Church of Machina...
He didn't.
He discovered this experimental base years ago. Fascinated, he managed to "hide" it away, planning to look into it at his leisure someday.
However, he became increasingly busy with other matters as time passed, and this place was eventually forgotten.
Recently, the cloaking device malfunctioned, which reminded him of this place. As I happened to be passing by, he asked me to investigate.
But I didn't expect to be affected by the cognitive interference and fall into the "illusion" as soon as I entered... It's rather embarrassing.
Zavier mentioned several possibilities to me regarding the interference source.
However, I still need to verify some key details before I can confirm which type of interference is at work.
If possible, I hope I can ask you and Gray Raven to lend me a hand, Commandant.
Thank you.
Now, we'll need to collect some crucial data in this area.
We might come into contact with enemies within the illusion during so. I'll be counting on you all when that happens.
