Bloody Monday 43

Chapter 43

29

Cain: Hurry!
Kanou: Shit!! The accessway!! They're switching to a vehicle going the other way!
Kanou: "Third-i" won't be able to track them this way!!

Kanou: My radio won't connect...
Kanou: If I attack and am killed, they can't be tracked!

Kanou: Damn iiit!!
Title: File 43 A Ray of Light

30

Guy: Waa
Guy: aaaah!!

Kanou: I'm an investigator from the Ministry of Justice.
Kanou: I need to borrow your bike!
Guy: S-sure. G-g-go ahead!

Kanou: I owe you one. Don't worry. I'll make sure to return it.
Guy: Eh?

Guy: That's the wrong way!

31

Kanou: Because of how many of them there are...their vehicle must be...

32

Kanou: There they are!!

Kanou: I won't let you run!

Kanou: This is Kanou! The enemy switched to a car going in the reverse direction within the tunnel!
Kanou: I acquired a bike and have continued the pursuit!
Kirishima: ...Roger.
Kirishima: You've really helped us out, Kanou-san!

33

Kirishima: You didn't do anything reckless, did you?

Kanou: Not yet...

Kirishima: Wait...
Kirishima: Damn it, he cut us off again.
Kirishima: Sawakita-san, inform the helicopter unit of the situation!
Sawakita: Roger!

Fujimaru: Okay, I've finished sealing the barriers.
Fujimaru: With this we might be able to secure a safe passage out for the 12 people not in the storage room...

Kirishima: But...the place those 12 are in can't be made airtight...
Kirishima: They could become infected before the unit with the protective suits and disinfectant sprayers arrive.
Fujimaru: That's right, we need to do something...
Kudou: Hey! Doing anything more is...

Kirishima: It's fine.
Kirishima: Kudou, I want you to help him.
Kudou: W-wait a second, Kirishima-san! Isn't this "Third-i"!?

34

Kudou: This system deals with top secret things and matters of national security.
Kudou: We can't just give a high schooler free reign on it...

Kirishima: I'm the commander here.
Kirishima: Do as I say.
Kudou: B-but...

Kirishima: That's an order.
Kirishima: If you won't obey, then hand me your letter of resignation.

Kudou: ...Understood.
Kudou: But, if anything happens, I'll bring this to the Court of Inquiry.

Text right of Kudou: He's always telling us to do this and do that without telling us why...
Text right of Satou: Calm down.

Fujimaru: Is this really okay, Kirishima-san...?
Kirishima: It doesn't matter...Chief Sonoma has already approved letting you know about some of "Third-i"'s secrets.
Kirishima: Don't worry about it and do your best.

35

Fujimaru: Will do.
Fujimaru: How many people have shown symptoms at this point?

Kirishima: Only the dead woman.
Kirishima: But...there are two who were in contact with that woman 20 minutes ago...
Kirishima: Those two will most likely present symptoms eventually.

Fujimaru: According to what "J" said, it should happen in exactly 40 minutes.
Kirishima: No...we don't know that.
Kirishima: You only believed that due to the sudden panic.

Kirishima: He might have been bluffing about messing with the virus's genes in order to make it hit in exactly an hour.
Sawakita: According to our data, "Bloody-X" shows symptoms two to three hours after infection in 99.9% of cases.

Fujimaru: Our counter-measure will change depending on which is true.
Fujimaru: Umm...
Sawakita: I'm Sawakita, Fujimaru-kun.

36

Fujimaru: Sawakita-san, pull up the data on "Bloody-X" on this terminal over here.
Fujimaru: I also want the video footage from the surveillance cameras on the third floor and the data on the people who went in and out of the storage room...

Kudou: I'll do it.
Sawakita: Kudou-kun...

Kudou: Sawakita-san has her hands full with the satellite tracking of the terrorists that Kanou-san is pursuing.
Kudou: I'll do it...What's your name?

Fujimaru: Fujimaru.
Fujimaru: Takagi Fujimaru.

Kudou: Vice Chief Takagi's son?
Text left of Kudou: Then just say that. Geez.
Kudou: I'd heard the rumors...

Fujimaru: Kudou-san, sorry for taking the lead as an outsider...

Fujimaru: But...I want to save these people.
Fujimaru: Please understand!!

37

Kudou: ...I'll pull up the data.
Kudou: If you need anything else, tell me.

Fujimaru: ...Okay.

Kudou: Just so you know...the first thing we did was check who'd been in there.
Kudou: Because if anyone had been in there within 2 to 3 hours they could be infected.

Fujimaru: So there wasn't anyone?
Kudou: No...
Kudou: Other than the two in there now...and the dead woman...no one had been anywhere near the storage room for 3 hours.

Fujimaru: That's what I expected.
Kudou: What?

Fujimaru: Here it is.
Fujimaru: In the data on who'd gone in the room and from the surveillance cameras 3 hours and 10 minutes before...

38

Fujimaru: I knew it.

Fujimaru: The one who brought in the virus was Houshou-san.

Kirishima: ...Houshou...

Minami: Damn it...!!

Fujimaru: Then that means...

Kirishima: What's this image...?
Fujimaru: This is the record from the infrared sensors...
Fujimaru: Do you see that blue part in her hands that moves with her?

39

Fujimaru: Houshou-san brought something of extremely low temperature into the storage room.
Fujimaru: Most likely...it was the frozen virus.

Kirishima: I see...so after that she stopped the storage room's air conditioner.
Kirishima: The room temperature rose...and the frozen virus evaporated and spread...

Fujimaru: At that temperature, the virus should have begun to spread within 10 minutes...
Fujimaru: Which means it took 2 hours and 40 minutes for the symptoms to present themselves...

Fujimaru: So the 1 hour thing was just "J"'s bluff.
Fujimaru: The data on "Bloody-X" saying it takes 2 to 3 hours from infection to symptoms is correct.
Kirishima: Looks that way.

Minami: Wh-what's with this kid. He's outdoing the rumors about him.
Minami: He's only been at that terminal for 5 minutes...

40

Minami: And he's completely grasped this situation that was so unclear before...!!
Fujimaru: Wait. Was turning off the air conditioning just to raise the temperature?
Fujimaru: If so, switching it to heating would've been better...Kirishima-san, does the air conditioner here have a ventilation system?
Kirishima: No...the ventilation is just a ventilation fan on a timer.

Kirishima: The ventilation fan in the storage room has been off ever since then...
Kirishima: so even if the air conditioning was on, there was no risk of the virus getting out...

Fujimaru: Then there was another reason...

41

Fujimaru: This is the real reason!!
Fujimaru: Look at this, Kirishima-san...!!
Kirishima: "Bloody-X" loses it's ability to infect at humidity below 20%...

Kirishima: The air conditioning in that storage room has a powerful dehumidifier. That's why she stopped it!

Fujimaru: This'll work, Kirishima-san!!
Fujimaru: Even if there's some of the virus left in the corridor, if we turn the air conditioner on full blast, the dehumidification'll take away it's ability to infect.
Fujimaru: That way, everyone will be able to escape!!

42

Minami: He found a means of escape in this hopeless situation...
Minami: He truly has a huge presence...

Minami: Both to us...
Minami: and to the enemy...

SFX: Rinnng
SFX: Rinng
Guy: This is the control room.
Yajima: This is Yajima. Is Kirishima there?

Kirishima: This is Kirishima. Are you okay, Yajima-san!

Yajima: For now, Morimi and I are fine.
Yajima: But it's just a matter of time...

43

Yajima: I've heard what this virus is.
Yajima: And that it has 99.9% of cases end in death.
Kirishima: Unfortunately, yes.
Yajima: How...much longer?

Kirishima: Most likely one and a half to two and half hours.
Yajima: I see.

Yajima: I want to do as much as I can to help with the mission.
Yajima: Is there anything we can do?

Kirishima: Ensure the safety of the chip with the "Christmas Massacre" video on it.

Kirishima: The unit wearing protective suits will be there soon.
Kirishima: Keep it safe until then...
Yajima: Okay.
Yajima: Leave it to me.

44

Kirishima: ...Yajima-san.
Yajima: Don't say anything.

Kirishima: I leave it to you.
Yajima: Yeah...

Yajima: Are you okay, Satsuki?
Morimi: ...Yajima-san.

Yajima: Call me Yuugo.
Yajima: There's no one here but us.
Morimi: Yuugo-san...

Morimi: There's no way to save us...?
Yajima: It doesn't seem so...

Yajima: But we'll carry out our mission to the end.
Yajima: As long as we're alive...!!

Morimi: Yes...!!

45

Aoi: Kujou-senpai!
Aoi: Where are you?
Otoya: I'm near the hospital.

Otoya: I took a taxi from the station...

Aoi: What is it, senpai?
Otoya: He's here.

46

Aoi: Eh?
Otoya: Ryuunosuke-san is.

47

Kirishima: Damn it.
Sawakita: Kirishima-san...

Kirishima: The two locked up in there...Yajima Yuugo and Momiri Satsuki were planning to get married next month.
Kirishima: And now...they can't be saved...

Fujimaru: We don't know that, Kirishima-san.
Kirishima: What?

Fujimaru: We have time until they show symptoms.
Fujimaru: We don't have to give up.
Kirishima: But once you're infected with that virus, it's over...

48

Fujimaru: There's a way to stop the symptoms from appearing!!

Kirishima: What...are you talking about?
Fujimaru: The thing hidden in the "Shikimura File".
Fujimaru: The "antivirus"!
