#282: Sealed Off
[side text: Having avoided the enemy's attack, what developments will Ikarugo witness?!]
Elevator: Please enter your security code.
Brovuda: ?
Elevator: If the number and reference data do not match...
Brovuda: (It won't open... crap! // I don't know anything about any number!)
Elevator: ...you will be held and restrained.
Ikarugo: (This is my chance!!)
Elevator: Likewise if you enter a second incorrect number.
Ikarugo: (I have two options!!)

2
Ikarugo: (If someone who doesn't know a security code enters the elevator, the doors will be locked and the elevator flooded with sleeping gas. // Once he's asleep, I have two options...!! // 1) Leave Brovuda there in the elevator and head to the surface via the vehicle exit!! / If I do that, then even if he wakes up he'll be captive in the elevator, but there's a high risk of someone up above noticing something's going on. // 2) Take the sleeping Brovuda somewhere else. // There are any number of vehicles in the garage, and the storage area needs a security code to open from the inside; if I leave Brovuda there, he won't be able to get out!! // In fact, if I return to the surface using the vehicle exit... // ...I'm actually in far less danger of meeting enemies up there than if I used the internal elevator...!! // No...!! // That's not enough...!!!)

3
Ikarugo: (I should finish Brovuda off while he's out cold!!! // That's the surest way to take care of him!! // And I may then be able to manipulate his body... // ...and use it to take out one of the other commanders while I'm at it!! I have to do this properly...!)
[Text: Ikarugo possessed the ability to manipulate corpses... // ...but he had never before dirtied his hands with another's blood.]

4
Ikarugo: (I just have to aim the gun through a gap in his shell... // ...and stick a rifle bullet in him!!!)
Elevator: Please hurry and enter your security code. // If you do not enter the code within the next thirty seconds... // ...measures will be taken to restrain you.
Brovuda: ...
Ikarugo: (The monitor room in the guards' area!!)
[Map top-right: Monitor room this way]
[Map top-left: Brovuda]
[Map bottom-left: Truck]
[Map bottom-right: Storage area this way]
[Map label: Ikarugo's current position]
Ikarugo: (That's where I'll find the monitors showing the inside of the elevator, and the controls for the elevator doors!!)

Ikarugo: !!

6
[no text just... oh. ~_~ So much for a foolproof system.]

7
Brovuda: Now, then... I've managed to get out of there... // ...but I kind of broke the elevator in the process, huh... / How else can I get out of here......?
Ikarugo: (I took him too lightly...!! // To be able to smash straight through that bulletproof door.........!! // What now...?! Do I look for an opportunity to get out of here through the vehicle exit?! Or do I wait here until he's gone completely?! // Either way, I've got to hope he heads back to the surface.........)

8
Ikarugo: (No!! That's not good enough!! // It's no good!!! // If he goes back up to the surface, and tells everyone else that he "took out Fratta", then how am I supposed to move about freely.........?! // What am I, an idiot?!!! // If I let this enemy just wander back up to the surface... // ...I'm only putting my friends in more danger!!!)

9
Brovuda: !

10
Brovuda: Ugh... this is some thick stuff...)

11
Ikarugo: (I mustn't let him out of here!! // If I can't do this much... I can't call myself their friend!!! // That's right... keep moving!! // I'll shut you in once and for all...!!!)

12
Ikarugo: (Just a little further... // Just a little further away... // Now!!)

13
Ikarugo: ......

14
Brovuda: ... // (So it wasn't just Fratta...) // There was another one... // It looks like you were trying to lure me into going that way, but... // Heheheheh... Too bad for you. // Only a single path being available? Far too convenient. // It's only natural that I'd get suspicious. And thanks to that... / Now I know that you're here! Heheheheh... // I guess you're watching me from the monitor room or something, aren't you? You little chicken...
Ikarugo: (Damn......!! If he'd just gone down there properly... // ...I'd have had him completely trapped......!! // But either way... he's still in a sealed area; that much hasn't changed one bit! // The sleeping gas will fill the area, and he'll......) // Ah - !

15
Ikarugo: (Not good...!! // It's not completely sealed!! He has a way out!! // I have to do something...!! // Before he notices it......!)
Brovuda: Now, I have to get out of here somehow... // This stuff is probably sleeping gas, after all...
Ikarugo: (The tank!! If I block his escape with that...... but then I'd be stuck down there as well...!! // Think!! Using what I have here... / There has to be something!! A perfect plan......!! // Quickly!!)
Brovuda: I guess I'll just have to break down that shutter... // Ahhh, what a pain...

16
Ikarugo: (............It's the only chance I have!!!)

17
Brovuda: ......Shit... // I shoot and I shoot, but I barely even dent it... / I may have to think up a different plan... // (Of course...!! The shutters are controlled from the monitor room, so if I can get there, I can open the way out!!) // Nice idea!! // ...But what am I going to do about the shutters between me and the monitor room? // Da~~~mn... Either way, if I can't break down the shutters... // ...there's no way for me to get out of here......... // .........But wait... // (Maybe there is!! // Without even... // ...breaking the shutters......!!) // !! // The shutters... // ...opened...?!)

18
Brovuda: (The tank...!!) // Hah... / That's just the kind of thing a chicken would think up. // (.........However... // The shutters behind are still closed...?! // The door to the monitor room... is beyond that shutter. // Which means what he's done... // ...is first closed the shutter on this side and moved the tank over there... // ...and then headed back to the monitor room, simultaneously pressed the buttons to open the shutter on this side and close that one over there... // ...and then finally rushed back to the tank?! But then he can't get out of here either!)

19
Brovuda: (To settle things with me once and for all... // ...he's made sure there's no way out...!!) // ...Yeah, right. There's no way he'd do that. Heheheh... // So there was yet another one of 'em hiding about... / There's still someone back in the monitor room watching me for sure. // Dammit... // Get out here already, ya damn Peeping Tom!! // Else I'll tear that friend of yours out of this tank and rip him to pieces!!!
Ikarugo: (I have to do this somehow...!! // All on my own...!!!)
