Rosetta? Why are you here all alone... Where's our dear lab rat?

If you mean the commandant—currently testing the command system.

Oh boy, that's trouble... Forget it, I'll go look...

Wait! What do you mean by trouble?

You wouldn't understand anyway.

Then please explain in a way that I can. Aren't you an expert at that?

Sigh, fine... I found code for an early prototype of a M.I.N.D. system in the system shell.

After all, most of the systems developed by the ARU at this time were like this—for example, the mech narwhal. So, I didn't pay much attention to it.

But recently, when I checked the noise mixed in the AI voice used in "Virtual Horizon", I discovered that it was actually an encrypted waveform file.

A waveform file...?

Like electromagnetic waves, seismic waves, or most commonly—sound.

Can you convert the waveform into sound and play it for me?

Asimov sends the translated waveform audio to Rosetta.

Sure, of course. But I've already tried that. It doesn't appear to have any meaning...

Lonely. World. Loop. Eternal. Dream. [player name]... My dream.. dream... dream...

What's wrong?

It's the meaning of the audio—Derek's voice... It contains some simple words, but it mentions the commandant...

It's not a message that a simple AI guide can convey.

Looks like my hunch was right... Take me to the commandant!
