Gaze Fixer Dalloc
Confirmed the Molar Office boarding the train.
Gaze Operator Alloc
You made sure to attach the observation device on them?
Gaze Operator Alloc
Bono, how’s the observation going?
Gaze Fixer Bono
Dalloc’s helping me out, but it ain’t easy.
Gaze Operator Alloc
I hope we can find some leads at least…
Gaze Fixer Bono
I know it’s a bit late to ask this, but you sure this job is a trusty one?
Gaze Operator Alloc
How many times should I say that we can get two hundred million Ahn right away through an untraceable route?
Gaze Fixer Dalloc
It’s a deal offered by Cane Office, so we can probably trust this.
Gaze Fixer Bono
I don’t trust like that. Pay isn’t the problem here. If we get caught trying to uncover the secrets of a Singularity, we’re done for. No insurance is gonna protect us.
Gaze Operator Alloc
I understand that you’re scared because R Corp. has W Corp’s back. But we aren’t gonna quit here, are we?
Gaze Fixer Bono
We wouldn’t be here if we could…
Gaze Fixer Dalloc
The WARP train is departing in five minutes.
Gaze Fixer Bono
Seriously, I’m really not feeling this. Does it even make sense that we can track the cause and effect of everything with some weird observation device we sneaked onto ‘em?
Gaze Fixer Dalloc
It’s the device Cane Office gave us. They said it’s invaluable with only a few copies of it in the City.
Gaze Operator Alloc
And we verified its performance ourselves.
Gaze Fixer Bono
I know this City has all kinds of bizarre technology, but I still doubt anything can be this convenient.
Gaze Fixer Dalloc
Hey! The train’s heading off.
Gaze Operator Alloc
Okay. We just need to wait 10 seconds now.
Gaze Fixer Bono
Nine… Eight… The causality-whatever-recording device is working for now.
Gaze Fixer Bono
Seven… Wait… Something’s not right…?
Gaze Fixer Dalloc
They’re missing… We can’t observe them anymore…
Gaze Fixer Bono
Gone missing inside a WARP train? It hasn’t even arrived at its destination yet…
Gaze Fixer Bono
I knew there was something off with this device. I told you it can’t be possible for any technology to be this convenient!
Gaze Fixer Dalloc
Don’t put the blame on the device, it’s not broken. It’s still working, see?
Gaze Fixer Dalloc
Something must’ve happened inside the train.
Gaze Fixer Bono
Maybe there was a problem with the Singularity… Or maybe they noticed the device and rigged it?
Gaze Operator Alloc
It’s not so easily manipulable. And they definitely weren’t capable of doing that.
Gaze Fixer Bono
You never know.
Gaze Fixer Bono
It could be W Corp. sending a jamming signal to prevent its Singularity from being leaked.
Gaze Fixer Bono
And the Cane Office hadn’t made any preliminary research before giving us this request?
Gaze Fixer Bono
This is driving me crazy… We’re doing this sham job for two hundred million Ahn.
Gaze Fixer Dalloc
Stop whining, will you?
Gaze Operator Alloc
…It could have something to do with this.
Gaze Operator Alloc
This thing has the books of the Molar Office listed on it like it knows what we were doing.
Gaze Fixer Dalloc
…That can’t be. Not even a minute has passed since they disappeared.
Gaze Operator Alloc
The Library…
Gaze Fixer Bono
Yeah, I heard of it. All the Fixers and Syndicates have been talking about it these days.
Gaze Fixer Bono
So, what’s the plan. Are we gonna head to that bizarre place?
Gaze Fixer Dalloc
We don’t have any other way.
Gaze Fixer Bono
Even if two hundred million Ahn is on the line, I don’t wanna risk my life. Going there won’t guarantee success, either…
Gaze Operator Alloc
We might be able to see what happened on the train if we read their books.
Gaze Fixer Bono
Sigh… I just hope things don’t get screwed even further.
Location: Inside the Library
Library Director Angela
There really are people trying to investigate Singularities.
Servant Roland
Duh, of course. It can bring tremendous amounts of money.
Servant Roland
I’m pretty sure L Corp. put a lot of effort into keeping its Singularity’s secrets, too.
Servant Roland
The eco-friendly energy company, founded after the Smoke War!
Servant Roland
We were freed from that suffocating smoke thanks to your corp.
Library Director Angela
Didn’t I tell you already? All I did was recite the script, trapped underground.
(Cut)
Library Director Angela
Can a Singularity be stolen if its secrets are exposed?
Servant Roland
Nah, that’s not how it works. Those guys are probably just looking for some clues to how the Singularity functions so they can sell that info to another Wing or a big Syndicate.
Servant Roland
After that, the party with the secrets will use that to extort money and stuff from the Wing.
Servant Roland
Singularities are patented, so it’s too risky to just use ‘em even if you know how to make it work. Especially since those patents are all managed by the Head.
Library Director Angela
It’s all about money in the end.
Servant Roland
Anyway, I’m kinda curious about what happened to that WARP train.
Library Director Angela
Let us receive our guests first.
Location: Library Entrance
Gaze Operator Alloc
I can’t seem to make clear observations of this place, either.
Gaze Fixer Dalloc
The result can be seen, but not the process…
Gaze Fixer Bono
It’s just like the Distortion, the talk of the town lately. What a bother.
Library Director Angela
Greetings, dear guests.
Gaze Operator Alloc
How did you get the book of the Molar Office?
Gaze Operator Alloc
They were supposed to be in the WARP train. For only a few seconds!
Library Director Angela
Well, how did we do it, I wonder?
Library Director Angela
Unraveling the secrets of the Library must come with a heavy price, like how digging into the principles of Singularities is a laborious affair, no?
Gaze Fixer Bono
That was a stupid question from us.
Gaze Fixer Dalloc
I have no idea what’s going on…
Gaze Operator Alloc
If the Library and its books are just as mysterious as the Singularities, then hopefully they’re worth just as much.
Library Director Angela
May you find your book in this place.
