02

Hibiki: How are things going?
Fujimaru: I have the advantage at the moment.

Fujimaru: All of the terminals in the control room go through the server in here once, so I have control of the reactor.

Fujimaru: As long as I can block Peter Pan's attacks...
Fujimaru: he can't get any farther than here.

03

Hibiki: I see...
SFX: Type type type
Fujimaru: But I don't know how long I can last.
Fujimaru: He must be franticly trying to find a route into this server.

Fujimaru: And once he gets in, he'll be able to do much, much more.
Fujimaru: Once he's broken the system, being the defender will put me at the disadvantage.

Hibiki: ...Do your best.
Fujimaru: I intend to.

Fujimaru: So..
Fujimaru: Can you promise me something, Hibiki?

Hibiki: What?

Fujimaru: If...
Fujimaru: we manage to survive this, just forget about the one's giving you your orders...
Fujimaru: and...

04

Fujimaru: just keep on living...
Fujimaru: as "Mizusawa Hibiki".

05

Hibiki: I can't...
Hibiki: do that.
Fujimaru: Why not!?

Hibiki: Agents who abandon their mission and flee are killed.
Hibiki: I've seen it happen countless times...I've done it myself.
Hibiki: None of them survived.

Hibiki: I got carried away with what I said earlier.
Hibiki: If you were to stay with me, Fujimaru...
Hibiki: You'd be killed too.

Fujimaru: I'll make sure you get away.

06

Fujimaru: I'll ask Kirishima-san and the others. You'll be treated as a refugee and given bodyguards.
Fujimaru: I'll hack into the data servers in your country and destroy all the data on you!

Hibiki: Fujimaru...
SFX: Brush up against

Fujimaru: I'll make sure to protect you, too.
Fujimaru: So...

Hibiki: If it's...at all possible...
SFX: Grab

07

Hibiki: I want to be "Mizusawa Hibiki".

08

Fujimaru: We can do it!

Hibiki: ...Yeah.

SFX: Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep

Hibiki: What's that?
SFX: Beep beep beep beep
Fujimaru: The fire alarm.

SFX: Type type
Fujimaru: It's detected the temperature rapidly climbing near here.

09

SFX: Appear on screen

10

Hibiki: They're trying to burn through the door!
Fujimaru: Damn.

SFX: Reach out
SFX: Type type
Fujimaru: It'll only last about an hour.

Fujimaru: That moronic Minister of Justice needs to go back on his order stopping the infiltration before then...
Fujimaru: so Kanou-san and the others can come in and stop "The Shooter of the Magic Bullet".

11

Kanou: Damn it. Is Fujimaru still okay!?
SFX: Grinding teeth
Kanou: Maybe we should just ignore our orders and go in...

SFX: Bam
Kanou: Have our orders still not changed!? Kirishima...!!

Suou: What are you people doing!?
Suou: We're wasting the taxes we spend on you!

12

Suou: From the looks of things here, we might as well...
Suou: just get rid of "Third-i"!

Tsukamoto: You've gotta be kidding me.
Tsukamoto: Why is the Minister of Justice giving us direct orders?
Tsukamoto: And all of them have been bad ones.

Kirishima: Have you been able to contact Prime Minister Kujou, Sawakita?
Sawakita: Not yet.
Sawakita: Things over there are in a commotion in preparation for the American president's arrival.
Sawakita: It might take time to get a hold of him.

Kirishima: Please hurry.
Kirishima: We've gotten word from Fujimaru-kun.
Kirishima: The server room is in danger!
Kirishima: At this rate, everything will have been for naught!!

13

Sawakita: ...Understood.
Sawakita: You can count on me.

SFX: Vvvvv
SFX: Vvvvv

SFX: Press press press

14

Hansel: Peter Pan.
SFX: Type type type type
Peter: What, Hansel?
Peter: Can it wait?

Hansel: Just look.
SFX: Lean forward

Hansel: It's the info...
Hansel: on "Falcon".

15

SFX: Beeeep

Hibiki: What now?
Fujimaru: ...It's Peter Pan.

Fujimaru: He's constructed an attack network made up of computers he's illegally taken control of.
Fujimaru: In other words, he's started a DoS attack using a botnet!

Fujimaru: He's trying to pressure the server until it's on the brink of going down...
Fujimaru: and use that chance to get in.

Hibiki: Can't you just disconnect the system from the internet, so it's isolated?
Fujimaru: I'd like to avoid that.

Fujimaru: The capital would go into a panic.
Fujimaru: The control system controls the power plant by collecting the capital's constantly changing electric consumption data via the internet.
Fujimaru: If I completely cut it off from the internet, the system would deem it an error and cut the supply of electricity.

16

Fujimaru: O-oh.
Fujimaru: And then the power would go out at the hospital Haruka's in, too!!
Fujimaru: I can't let that happen!
Sign: Satou General Hospital

Hibiki: Haruka...
Hibiki: Your sister?
Fujimaru: Yeah!

Hibiki: ...Oh.

Hibiki: You two sure seem close.
Fujimaru: Hah?

Hibiki: She would come to play when you were working at the cafe, too.
Fujimaru: W-well, of course. She's my sister.

SFX: Glare
Fujimaru: Oh, c'mon. Why are you getting jealous over this?

17

Hibiki: ...Jealous?

Hibiki: I see. This is jealousy!
Hibiki: Hee hee. This is the first time I've been jealous!
SFX: Sweatdrop

Fujimaru: Haruka's getting her kidney transplant right now.
Fujimaru: And due to the terrorist attack cutting off the gas supply, the electricity use is abnormal.
Fujimaru: The hospital is on reserve power and they need all the power they can to function.
Fujimaru: I can't cut off the internet connection!

SFX: Sizzle...

Fujimaru: In other words...
Fujimaru: I have to deal with Peter Pan in the worst possible conditions.

18

Peter: Hansel.
Peter: Now it looks like I can actually take the server room.

SFX: Type type type
Peter: Because of his sister, "Falcon" can't cut the internet connection.
Hansel: That's good.

Hansel: So we can continue "our" strategy without delay?

Peter: Of course.
Peter: No matter who I'm up against, I'm not going to lose when it comes to hacking.
Peter: The meltdown will begin soon.
Peter: Very soon...

19

Fujimaru: Shit!
SFX: Wham

Fujimaru: Peter Pan got in while I was defending against the DoS attack!
Hibiki: Which means?
Fujimaru: It means...
Fujimaru: we're down to a one-on-one battle on even ground!

20

Fujimaru: I can't lose.
Fujimaru: I won't lose.
SFX: Snap crack
Fujimaru: I...

Hibiki: Fujimaru...

Fujimaru: have people that...
Fujimaru: I have to protect!
