Fujimaru: What do you mean "why"!?
Fujimaru: Of course I'm gonna save you!! How many times do I have to say it!?

Fujimaru: I...
Fujimaru: don't ever want to see...
Fujimaru: anyone die before my eyes again!

Fujimaru: And that includes you!!

Hibiki: I...see.

Hibiki: ...Let's go.
SFX: Stand
Hibiki: We're 30m from the server room.
Hibiki: You were going to contact them from here, right?

Fujimaru: ...Yeah.
Fujimaru: I didn't mean to fly into a rage like that.

Fujimaru: But she said she was scared with that look on her face...
Fujimaru: She said she was an agent from some nation so I didn't think of her as normal...
Fujimaru: I didn't expect that.

08

Fujimaru: Hibiki...

SFX: Squeeze

Hibiki: ...Thanks.
SFX: Turn...

Peter: Arthur? I'm continuing the operation to bring about the meltdown.
Peter: I'm speeding things up so it won't take as long.
Alexei: Fine.
Alexei: Continue like that, Peter Pan.
Peter: OK.

Hansel: ...Hey, Peter.
Hansel: Isn't this...kind of odd?

Peter: Is what odd?

10

Hansel: Here...and here.
Hansel: The footage from the surveillance cameras.
SFX: Tap

Hansel: I've been watching them for a while...
Hansel: and I haven't seen a single living person.

Peter: ...Why would there be any?
Text: And don't touch the display!
Peter: Other than the 4 we took as hostages, all of the workers are dead.

Hansel: But isn't it odd that I haven't seen Beta Team?

Hansel: They should be patrolling the facility.

11

Peter: You're right.
Peter: That is odd...!
SFX: Reach out hand
Peter: We should've seen someone...!

Peter: There's nothing especially odd...
Peter: in the surveillance system...

Peter: No!
Peter: Just the surface of the program has been camouflaged.
Peter: This is...!

Peter: It's the same thing I did before.
Peter: It's just replaying some old saved footage!

12

Peter: We have intruders!
Peter: While I was focused on operating the reactor's control system...
Peter: someone hacked in and did this to cameras Alpha-1 through 8!!

Peter: Hansel!
Peter: Contact Arthur.
Hansel: Roger.
SFX: Click

SFX: Appear
Man: ...What is it, Peter Pan.
Peter: There's something I want to check with the guy from "Third-i" you have.

13

Man: It may be rude to call on him while he's "asleep"...
Man: but could you wake him up?

Man: Got it.
SFX: Stomp
Yajima: Gyah...!!

Peter: Good evening, Mr. Afro.
Peter: I'll keep this brief. Is the hacker you let escape...

Yajima: Who're you...?

Peter: called "Falcon"?

14

Peter: From the look on your face...
Peter: I guess I'm right.
Peter: Aren't I, Mr. Afro?

Yajima: H-how does he know Fujimaru's hacker name...!?

Peter: Ha ha ha. I see!
Peter: Most interesting!!
Peter: I get it now.
Peter: I'm up against "him"!

Peter: Ha ha...
Peter: I'm...
Peter: going to enjoy this.

SFX: Sweat

15

SFX: Creak

Peter: Now then...One more question.
Peter: How did "Third-i" get wind of the fact that...
Peter: the "Shooter of the Magic Bullet" was hijacking the nuclear reactor?

Yajima: Hijacking a nuclear reactor!??
Yajima: What are they...!?

Peter: Well?
Peter: Are you going to answer or not?
SFX: Aim

Yajima: H-how would I know?
Yajima: I've been here the whole time, haven't I?
Yajima: It must've been Takagi!!
Yajima: Takagi infiltrated them, so he must have done something.
Yajima: Most likely a transmitter or something...

16

Peter: Ha ha. I suppose you're right.
Peter: Most unfortunate.

Peter: It seems you don't have any information for us.
Peter: So there's not much reason to keep you around much longer, Mr. Afro.

Alexei: ...Understood, Hansel.
Alexei: So "Third-i" has already made it into the facility!
Alexei: From what Peter Pan said, they've only taken over the cameras in Alpha blocks 1 - 8.

17

Hansel: With just those down, they can't get to the reactor or the control room without being spotted.
Alexei: I see. Is that why they haven't already made their move?

Alexei: But...
Alexei: I also don't think they would just stand and watch while we caused a meltdown...

SFX: Beeeeep
SFX: Beeeeep

Peter: Arthur!
Peter: It's "Third-i"!!

18

Peter: They're in Beta-2 block.
Peter: They're 270m away!!
SFX: Run run run

Alexei: Fortify the entrance!
Alexei: Beta Team! It's "Third-i".

Alexei: They're headed from Beta-2 block to here.
Alexei: Intercept them!
Man: Roger!
Man2: Tch.
Man2: They were at a stalemate, so they decided on making a suicide rush!

19

Alexei: A...suicide rush?

Alexei: It's much too pointless this late in the game.
Alexei: Are they after the control room?
Alexei: No...

Alexei: Peter!!

SFX: Type type

SFX: Stop

20

Peter: I see...
Peter: They're after...
Peter: the server room!!!

Text: The enemy has noticed them!! They're headed towards a dead-end where no help can reach them. How are they going to shake their pursuers!?
