Speak.
Miss Alpha has completed her mission perfectly. Shome is moving just like we expected him to.
As for me... The hunting grounds are ready. He should have no qualms dying with the funeral we've prepared him with.
You all know what to do. Yes?
Obliterate Shome.
His death shall deter his savior.
Good. Do so.
With that, Roland and Gabriel turn and depart. Luna's brows are still furrowed after they take their leave.
Lamia?
Yes, Miss Luna.
Tell me the results of your recon mission.
Yes, Miss Luna. That person seems to have sold his "foster son" out...
Oh?
Back in po-pan when he was still human, he was a man of many titles. "Downtown Tyrant", "Agent of Death", "Behemoth"...
He's involved in all sorts of underground stuff... Even for humans, he's the most despicable sort...
...Your words are making me distrust humans even more.
Ah... Well... That's why we... took on such forms, right?
Indeed...
S-so, Miss Luna, how should we deal with him and his proposal?
We'll see. Let's get an idea of what he wants from "us" first.
If he wishes to have a go at the "filtering," allow him to.
O-okay.
A few weeks ago...
An interesting fella came visiting.
He's saying a "strange Ascendant" showed up and is conducting some sort of research.
But, well, he's likely got deeper ties to that Ascendant than he shows.
He's got that Ascendant's trails figured. There's convincing evidence too in the files he provided us with.
But, why would he betray that Ascendant?
Who knows?
And, quite frankly, this Ascendant can only be "her" work. The one that's been showing up nearby.
Apparently she's just the same as before, finding people that can be saved.
...This is getting troublesome.
If we let her run wild, our work as agents of the Ascension-Network will be hindered.
So—what do we do?
Give me the files that the "interesting fella" gave you.
I'll decide after I have a look.
Very well, Miss Luna.
"Shome", huh...
From the history of this person, he should not have lived through the "filter."
But if the files are true, then he must have gained protection by the network through certain means.
And, he is now using the power from the Ascension-Network to conduct dangerous research.
If there's anyone to "save" this kind of person, "she" is the only possible candidate.
Sigh... You're an agent, and yet you keep causing such troubles...
To assimilate other agents to our side, we'll need a display of power.
And for this, we need a scapegoat—one we know who will never stand on our side.
——Which, as far as we can tell, leaves only "her."
Though I'd prefer not to provoke other agents before the time is right...
But you're showing up in our grounds and messing things up... We have no other choice...
After all, this is an agent's duty.
