Title: File 31 emergency

152

Fujimaru: Delete the "Christmas Massacre" video...!?
Maya: Yes...
Maya: The one in "Third-i"'s secret archive...

Fujimaru: Why...!?
Fujimaru: Even if I delete that, the original chip is still there...

Maya: All we want you to do is get rid of that Russian file.
Maya: If you do that for us, we won't touch those two.

Maya: I promise.
Text left of Otoya: ...This is good...

153

Maya: You understand, don't you? We keep our promises...
Maya: Like when you hacked the transformer substation...right?

Fujimaru: But you kidnapped her again right afterwards...!!
Fujimaru: That's just what you want me to think!!

Fujimaru: But...why is she so obsessed with deleting that one copy...?
Fujimaru: Is there still some secret hidden in it?

Fujimaru: And...what about the original?
Fujimaru: Have they forgotten...? ...No...

Maya: ...Hee hee.

Maya: What are you going to do, Takagi-kun?
Maya: Are you going to do what I'm asking?

154

Maya: What...
Maya: are you conflicted about?

Maya: Isn't what I'm asking...
Maya: quite a simple task?

Maya: You've been hacking into "Third-i"...
Maya: since you were in middle school.
Maya: Although...

Maya: Now...
Maya: "Third-i"'s system isn't so easy to get into.
Maya: Because you helped design their firewall.
Maya: It has become quite a secure system...

Fujimaru: Did you here that from Houshou-san?

Maya: Yes.
Maya: Unfortunately, our hackers have been unable to...
Maya: make any headway towards hacking into the strengthened system.

155

Fujimaru: The one who knows the methods hackers use best...
Fujimaru: is a hacker.

Fujimaru: Because of that, I filled all the holes through which a hacker could get in.
Fujimaru: Thanks to that, you won't be able to defeat them!

Maya: Oh...excellent.
Maya: As expected of Falcon.
Text right of Maya: Hee hee...
Maya: But you created this firewall.
Maya: Isn't it like getting into your own garden?

Fujimaru: The concept was that not even I would be able to get in.
Fujimaru: It won't be that easy...
Maya: Oh, my.
Maya: Such humility.

Maya: But even if it won't be easy...
Maya: you don't really have a choice, do you?

156

Text on cell phone: Negotiations have failed. Take out the first one.

Maya: You know what will happen...
Maya: don't you, Takagi-kun?

157

Sakaki: This is Sakaki.
Kirishima: Kirishima here.

Kirishima: What's the status of the fleeing car that we believe...
Kirishima: Kanou and Orihara Maya are riding?
Sakaki: We're in pursuit at a distance where we can just barely keep track of them.

Sakaki: The fleeing car has shown no indication that they are aware of our pursuit.

158

Sakaki: If they're only on the lookout for pursuit by car, they could lead us to their hideout...
Sakaki: But I doubt we'll be that lucky.

Kirishima: You're right.
Kirishima: I'm sure they would think of the possibility of us sending out a helicopter.

Kirishima: If the traitor is there...
Kirishima: They should know how "Third-i" does things.

Kirishima: So do they know we're there, but are pretending not to notice...?
Kirishima: What could they gain from that...?

Sakaki: Sawakita... how goes the pursuit by vehicle?
Sawakita: We haven't sent any out from "Third-i".

Sawakita: But...
Sawakita: We've calculated their likely escape route...
Sawakita: and we've alerted all the policemen on the streets to put cooperating with us at top priority.

159

Sakaki: So you're making the police hate us again.
Sakaki: Once we get out of the town, we'll lower our altitude.
Sakaki: Then we'll work with the police to stop them.

Sakaki: And if they try to force their way through...
Sakaki: we'll take that as resisting arrest and fire.

Sawakita: Understood.
Sawakita: We'll tell them to help you out in the industrial area 2 km ahead.
Sakaki: This has gotten pretty large-scale...we'll leave the aftermath to you.

Kirishima: Luckily this is a Saturday, so there shouldn't be any pedestrians in the area.
Kirishima: Do your very best to keep any civilians from coming to harm.
Sakaki: Understood.

Sakaki: Okay.
Sakaki: Hinata, get closer to the target.
Hinata: Roger.

Sakaki: Minami, prepare to fire.
Sakaki: If they make any suspicious movements, use the armor piercing rounds to destroy their engine block.
Minami: Roger!

160

Sakaki: We haven't had a raid in a while.
Sakaki: Brace yourself!!
Men: Roger!!

Kirishima: Sawakita-san.
Kirishima: Has Chief Sonoma arrived yet?
Sawakita: Well... according to his schedule, he should currently be traveling in a private aircraft.

Sawakita: And of course...
Sawakita: his cell won't connect.

Kirishima: ...Is it possible that Houshou-san knew of his schedule?
Sawakita: ...I don't know.

Sawakita: But...as a Class III investigator, she had access to the schedule data of the senior staff members.
Sawakita: So it wouldn't be unusual if she did know.

Kirishima: How long until he lands?
Sawakita: About...30 minutes.

161

Kirishima: We can't wait.

Kirishima: Contact the airport's control room and instruct them to use the pilot's radio to connect us to Chief Sonoma!
Sawakita: Understood.

Maya: What is it?

Maya: With just one file...
Maya: you can save their lives.

Maya: I can tell what he's thinking as easily as picking it up in my hand.
Maya: But...thinking about it won't show you the answer.

162

Maya: Not even the Russian intelligence operative noticed...
Maya: the true meaning hidden in that file.

Fujimaru: ...Tch. Are these people serious...!!
Fujimaru: They'll die.

Fujimaru: I can't let that happen...!!

Fujimaru: I'll do it.

Fujimaru: I just have to do it, right?
Fujimaru: I have no choice...
Fujimaru: I have to at least pretend to hack in!!

Maya: Is that so?
Maya: How wise of you.

163

Fujimaru: But...it'll take time.
Maya: Oh...
Maya: Even though you made the protection yourself?

Fujimaru: I already told you...
Fujimaru: I filled as many of the holes that hackers would aim for as I could.

Fujimaru: The fact that I made it...
Fujimaru: makes no difference!

Fujimaru: The firewall I put together is a counter attack type system.
Fujimaru: If I can stall for some time here...
Fujimaru: When it senses an intrusion, the server itself will begin a DoS attack on the computer here...

Fujimaru: in an attempt to bring it down.

164

Fujimaru: A-and furthermore...
Fujimaru: in the huge amount of data sent during the DoS attack...
Fujimaru: is a trojan specifically targeted at hackers.

Fujimaru: It's a virus that destroys the hard disk in order to make them unable to hack.

Mikhail: Oh...
Mikhail: That's amazing.

Mikhail: Sorry I'm late.

Maya: It's okay.
Maya: He had just made up his mind.

Fujimaru: Who's this guy...!?

Maya: I'll introduce him.
Maya: He's our IT specialist.

165

Mikhail: I'm Mikhail.

Mikhail: Oh...
Mikhail: That's not my real name.

Mikhail: You're the charismatic hacker who's even been called a "wizard".
Mikhail: I'm eager to see you at work.

Fujimaru: Crap, this guy...
Fujimaru: He'll know!!

Maya: He's been purposefully stalling...
Maya: so could you tell me whether he actually deletes the target file even if he manages to hack in?
Mikhail: Will do.

Maya: If he betrays my expectations, send this email right then and there.
Maya: If that happens...

166

Maya: He'll be first.

Maya: Kujou Otoya...
Maya: will die.
Small text on the border of Maya's last two bubbles: Hee hee hee

Sonoma: ...A virus!?

Sonoma: I didn't...
Sonoma: hear anything about that!!
Kirishima: So I was right.

167

Sonoma: ...Houshou...!!

Sonoma: As soon as she gets back, capture her!!
Sonoma: Immediately!!

Kirishima: Most likely...she won't be coming back.
Sonoma: So all she did was cast doubt and pretend to be an investigator...?

Sonoma: I don't think she'll just run away...
Sonoma: She must have had a goal at "Third-i"...
Kirishima: ...Okay...

Sonoma: Communicate this to all security in all facilities related to "Third-i".
Sonoma: We have concluded that Investigator Houshou Sayuri is an enemy!

Sonoma: Be on the lookout as there is a possibility of her attempting to infiltrate one of our facilities.
Sonoma: If you spot her, capture her!!

168

Sawakita: Roger.
Kirishima: Ro-...!!

Kirishima: Houshou was the spy...

Kirishima: Then...
Kirishima: What's that fleeing car...!??

Sakaki: HQ!
Sakaki: We've succeeded in stopping the fleeing car!!
Sakaki: We will now be taking them in with the help of the police for-

169

Sakaki: An environmental suit...?

Sakaki: Ruuun!!
Sakaki: It's a virus!!!

170

Men: Waaaah!
Kirishima: Sakaki-san!? What is it...?
Men: Aah!
Kirishima: Sakaki-san!!
Sakaki: Retreat!!

Sakaki: Everyone retreat!!
