Commandant... We cannot advance anymore...
This area seems to have more puzzles.
If we force our way through, the large number of Heteromer shards could form enemies like what we saw.
These puzzles must have an unlocking command...
I know! It's the information from the log data. However...
These parts have been contaminated by the Punishing Virus and cannot be read.
Hmm... Could this be a coincidence...?
Of course not. Punishing Virus under Heteromerization has displayed clear traits of consciousness...
Looks like... We have to force our way through...
Connecting—
Excuse me, is that Gray Raven down there?
Watanabe's guess wasn't wrong.
You must be the legendary commandant, aren't you?
Who are you...
W-wait... Is that Miss Ayla?
Yes, I'm Ayla, a member of the 2nd Archaeological Team.
...Why is she here?
Liv, Lee... Do you know her?
...She's a very popular young artist in Babylonia. Murray... likes to go to her exhibitions.
I-I like Miss Ayla's work too...
...
I have been wanting to meet you too! Especially...
Oh, I should probably talk about that later. I've got more important things to tell you.
My mission here is to rescue a Construct named Selena. She's a very important friend of mine.
Selena already had access to all the information within the database of this space station.
She said some of it could be vital to you, as it was related to the design of these... rings.
Right. We do need some guidance to help us through.
Okay. But... for some reason, she cannot send the info directly to you.
It has to come to me before I can tell you. Is that alright?
Please.
...
Given Selena's current state, she is unable to... explain it in person.
We understand.
Commandant, I'll keep a record.
