...Found her!
It's the fake "Bianca"... Huaxu's signature.
...Finally slipped up, didn't you?
Let's go. No time to waste.
Only by saving Babylonia will humanity have a future.
Find out why!
There's power fluctuation in the immersion frame!
Team 2, connect the auxiliary interlay emergency power supply!
Hey! Asimov! Can't you have the Gray Ravens initiate an emergency evac?
The intruders have hijacked the immersion module! If we take the immersion module offline now, all uplinked consciousness will be severely impacted!
Constructs can be rebooted, but for humans... that may be fatal!
...Dammit! Why the **** do you always make something so dangerous?
Quit fighting! Karenina, get over here and help me set up the jumper!
Coming!
Preliminary estimation of the chance of failure... more than 69.7%. But... all we can do is try.
Babylonia DECK-4-2-C, the archives of the intelligence department.
I see... The commander sure is laying out all his cards on the table.
The usually heavily guarded archives are now empty, and only the security door is locked.
Murray approaches the security door and opens it with the ID card he just got.
*High clearance user detected. Manual review requested.*
Manual review...? Uh oh...
Murray anxiously looks at the security door, then quickly scans the room for a place to hide.
—But there is nothing for him to hide behind in the small, empty room.
So if a turret comes down from the ceiling, I'll just have to face it head-on...
*Manual review request not responding. Request timed out.*
...What now?
*Activating maximum security procedure.*
Murray looks around the room again and finds a security gate lowering in front of the door he came through.
So, I'm stuck here if I can't open this door, huh?
...
*External interruption detected. Activating Wartime Evacuation Procedure B. Security door has been closed. Opening emergency passageway.*
The safety door opens inward, and the air begins to make a hissing sound as it circulates between the two spaces.
...Sigh. Don't make me come back here again.
Murray walks through the safety door.
