Chapter 83

111

Hornet: You're asking whether...
Hornet: "Falcon" or myself, "Hornet"...
Hornet: is the better hacker?
Title: File 83 Road to hell

K: Don't you...
K: want to know?

Fujimaru: Sorry, Anko.
Fujimaru: It's just to be sure...

112

Fujimaru: Boot it up...and...
Fujimaru: Hey, now.
Fujimaru: She doesn't even have a password?
Fujimaru: Geez...

Fujimaru: Just to be sure, I'll check all the likely hiding spots...

Fujimaru: This application I made will check for any highly encrypted files that a terrorist would be likely to use...

Text on computer: Search Results....0

Fujimaru: That's right.
Fujimaru: There's no way it could be her!

113

Fujimaru: Sorry I'm late.
Fujimaru: Ohhh. Something smells good.

K: Ah.
K: "Falcon"-sama.
K: We have 2 pizzas.

Fujimaru: Hm?
Fujimaru: O-oh.

K: Which do you think is better?
K: Falcon claw pizza...
K: or honey pizza!?

114

Kanou: "Bloody Monday"...huh?
Kanou: Do they think this is a revolution or something?
Minami: It does seem like they're basing it off of the "Bloody Sunday Incident" that started the Russian Revolution.

Kanou: Well...
Kanou: Calling it a revolution may be the sophistry they're using to justify killing so many people.

Minami: Minister Kujou and Chief Sonoma are planning on hiding...
Minami: the threat of a neutron bomb from the important people of the government.

Kanou: Well, it's not like we know what the target is...
Sonoma: If we tell the people who keep this country running, and they flee to other countries, what do we do then?

115

Sonoma: That would be exactly what the terrorists want!!

Sonoma: The people would lose faith in the country and the economy would inevitably fail.
Sonoma: In a state of anarchy, the Japanese people would end up listening to what the people with the neutron bomb said.
Sonoma: Their "revolution" would be successful without having to go through with the terrorist attack.
Sonoma: Either way, this country would be finished.

Minami: If that was the terrorists' aim from the beginning...
Minami: maybe they never actually planned on using the bomb...
Kanou: You're being way too optimistic, Minami.
Kanou: They really will detonate that neutron bomb.

Kanou: That they haven't yet...
Kanou: just means that they are "waiting for the right time".

Kanou: They will mercilessly turn this country into hell.
Kanou: And...

116

Kanou: it may happen...
Kanou: 5 days from now...
Kanou: on "Monday"...

Kanou: Hey.
Kanou: Are you ready to tell us anything yet?
Kanou: Munakata-san.

117

Kanou: We showed you the information, right?
Kanou: The terrorists' leader, Kamishima Simon, killed himself.
Kanou: And most of the members are in custody or dead.

Kanou: It doesn't matter whether you're a believer or a normal person and they have a hostage.
Kanou: Just tell us what you know.

Munakata: I don't know anything!!
Munakata: I only did what they said, because they said they'd kill my daughter!
Munakata: That cult captured my daughter!!

Minami: We've already heard that.
Minami: But according to the family register, you don't have a daughter.

Munakata: Even so, I have one!!
Munakata: Due to certain circumstances...the family register is wrong!!

118

Kanou: Even so, what you say here isn't going to leak outside.
Kanou: The terrorists aren't going to here about it...

Munakata: Is that...
Munakata: really true?

Munakata: They told me that...
Munakata: there are members of the terrorists...
Munakata: in this organization, too.
Munakata: And that it's useless to ask for help.

Munakata: You...
Munakata: might be one of them.

Minami: It's true that we've found spies among us...
Minami: and it has caused some chaos.

Minami: But don't worry.
Minami: Me and Kanou-san...

Munakata: I can't trust you!!

119

Munakata: You people...don't care about my daughter...
Munakata: For me, that girl...
Munakata: That girl is all I have left...!!

Kanou: Minami.
Kanou: Turn off the recording device and the mic leading out.
Minami: What?
Minami: Kanou-san, what are you...?

Kanou: Just...
Kanou: turn them off!

Kanou: I'm going to tell you...
Kanou: some important information that only a very small number of people know even in the government.

Minami: Kanou-san...
Kanou: Quiet.

120

Kanou: Okay, Munakata-san?
Kanou: I'm just going to come out and say it.
Kanou: At this rate, all of us, and that includes you and your daughter, will probably die.

Kanou: They're going to detonate a neutron bomb here in Tokyo.
Kanou: Can you really deny that of the ten million people...
Kanou: who will die, that your daughter will not be one of them?

Munakata: Wha...?

Kanou: Anything's fine...
Kanou: Just tell us what you know.
Kanou: We want even the most trivial pieces of information.

121

Munakata: ...No...
Munakata: I...don't...!

Someone: Wait...
Someone: What're you...?
Someone: Hey...

Minami: Who are you!?

122

Sasha: ...Really now.

Kanou: You...
Sasha: It really is a problem how soft Japan is.

123

Otoya: Hacking in the park again?

Fujimaru: It's because I'm going up against "ECHELON".
Fujimaru: If I did it from "Third-i", they'd find out and it would become an international problem.

Otoya: "ECHELON"...
Otoya: The system that intercepts transmissions throughout the world...

Fujimaru: It's well known in the world of the internet.
Fujimaru: It was originally a wiretapping system for military use created under the leadership of America during the Cold War.
Fujimaru: But it gradually expanded...

Fujimaru: It now covers everything from radio, telephone, and fax to emails and data transmissions over the internet.
Fujimaru: Almost all transmissions are caught in its net and it gathers up all information that could be related to terrorism.

124

Otoya: So they just eavesdrop on what everyone says?
Otoya: I'm not sure if that's paranoia...
Otoya: or a really bad habit.

Fujimaru: But it really can be useful for finding information on the terrorists.
Fujimaru: It's true we could just ask the CIA directly for access...
Fujimaru: but it's their most top secret system. They wouldn't just say yes.

Fujimaru: We can't wait for some Minister and the CIA chief to discuss it at length, so I'm forcing my way in.
Fujimaru: ...Okay, I've found 5 wireless LANs.

Fujimaru: This time I'll hack into the "ECHELON" system...
Fujimaru: while switching out LANS!
Fujimaru: I have some words to search for and each time...
Fujimaru: I'll search for a new word!!

Fujimaru: First is "Neutron Bomb".
Fujimaru: "K"
Word on the right: "Neutron Bomb"
Middle word: "K"
Word on the left: "Bloody Monday"
Fujimaru: And then...
Fujimaru: "Bloody Monday"...

125

Fujimaru: Okay!
Fujimaru: This'll work! With the transmissions from the keywords I'm entering...
Fujimaru: I should...

Japanese Text at end of line below line with "length: 136": Neutron Bomb
Japanese text at end of last line: Bloody

Japanese text at end of last line in next panel: Neutron Bo

Fujimaru: The entered keywords are disappearing!?

Fujimaru: ...No.
Fujimaru: Someone's deleting them!!

126

Otoya: Hornet?

Otoya: Fujimaru...this is...!!
Fujimaru: ...Yeah...

Fujimaru: A hacker...!!!

Fujimaru: Oh, no...He got me!
Fujimaru: He's hacking into my computer...
Fujimaru: Shit.

127

Fujimaru: This is bad...He might have figured out our location!
Fujimaru: W-we need to get away from here, Otoya!
Fujimaru: I have a bad feeling about this!!

Otoya: Miyagawa-san.
Otoya: Hurry us back home!
Miyagawa: Yes, sir.

Fujimaru: Hornet...
Fujimaru: I've heard of him...

Fujimaru: I'm pretty sure...
Fujimaru: He's...

Otoya: Miyagawa-san!!

128-129

Otoya: All the lights...
Otoya: are green...

130

Miyagawa: Waaaaah!!?
