Fujimaru: No...nothing!
SFX: Glance

Fujimaru: We've somehow managed to get to the server room!
Text: Oh.
Kirishima: I see!
Kirishima: Do you think you can stop the fast-breeder reactor?

Fujimaru: Yes...for now.
Fujimaru: But it looks like they saw through the decoy.
Fujimaru: If they come after us again...
Fujimaru: and blow up the door...

Kirishima: You don't have to worry about that for a while.
Kirishima: The server room was made so the system can keep running for as long as possible even if the reactor explodes...
Kirishima: so the door and walls are heavily armored.
Kirishima: The plastic explosives the terrorists would have won't be able to destroy it.

Fujimaru: In that case, I can relax for a bit.
SFX: Step
Fujimaru: I'll get to work right away.

SFX: Pick up
Alexei: Hello?
Kirishima: This is "Third-i".
Kirishima: The Terrorist Counter-Measure Team.

Kirishima: End this pointless resistance.
Kirishima: You can't get away.

Alexei: You think you have us cornered, so you're announcing your victory?
Alexei: How naive.
Alexei: Are you going to sacrifice the lives of even more civilians?
Alexei: Have your armed team fall back.

Kirishima: ...A few sacrifices are unavoidable.
Kirishima: We're fighting with the fate of our country on the line.

Alexei: Oh?
Alexei: You have excellent resolve. Especially for one of this country's organizations.
Alexei: But we still have another trump card.
Alexei: We've rigged up the reactor itself with 50 kilograms of TNT.

18

Alexei: Even if the meltdown fails, that will detonate. And the scattering of the nuclear materials will bring about quite a few casualties.

Kirishima: Tsukamoto! Run a simulation!
Text: God. Just shut up!
Tsukamoto: I'm already doing it.

Tsukamoto: ...It's done.
Tsukamoto: With the current wind direction, it'll head towards Tokyo.
Tsukamoto: Within 12 hours, the entire city center will be contaminated with plutonium...

Tsukamoto: And if we assume 600 thousand to 1.5 million people didn't manage to evacuate in time...
Tsukamoto: There could be...
Tsukamoto: 500 thousand to 1.2 million dead within 5 years!

Alexei: What will you do, "Third-i"?
Alexei: You'd...
Alexei: better think about it carefully.

SFX: Click
SFX: Dooo dooo

19

Hagiwara: We can't sacrifice a million people.
Hagiwara: We'll force our way in if we have no other choice, but for now we'll wait for a better opportunity!

Kirishima: No.
Kirishima: We'll continue with the plan as is.

Hagiwara: What!?

Sawakita: Kirishima-san...

Kirishima: They didn't anticipate that we'd try to force our way in.
Kirishima: They haven't noticed the transmitter Section Chief Takagi left.
Kirishima: So they wouldn't have set up any insurance like that!
Kirishima: The explosives on the reactor core are just a bluff!

20

Hagiwara: But what if it isn't...
Kirishima: If we give them time, they'll set something like that up for sure.

Kirishima: And I'm sure they've called for reinforcements.
Kirishima: That's just a stopgap measure Alexei thought up to buy himself some time.
Kirishima: We can't fall for it!!

Kirishima: He's panicking!
Kirishima: Section Chief Takagi brought us this blessing. And it may be our last one...!!

Kirishima: We can't waste it!
Kirishima: We have to force our way in!!
Text: They aren't falling back!!
