Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
Bastards! Like! You!
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
Need! Some! Beating!
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
Get! It! Into! Your! Thin! Skull!!
Stray Dog Dino
That’s enough, Gyeong-mi. Beating them to death won’t do us any good.
Stray Dog Dino
District 22 may be our turf, and these chumps you’re beating to a pulp may be from Zwei’s Section 6, but we’re talking about an Association here…
Stray Dog Dino
We’re gonna be in even bigger trouble if you kill ‘em all.
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
Walter!
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
If! Only! That! Bastard!
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
Kept! His! Promise! We! Wouldn’t have! Gotten into this mess.
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
We! Needed! The! Floorplan! Of! L Corp’s! Nest!
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
The Zwei!
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
Had it!
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
We should! Teach!
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
These fuckers! A lesson!
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
On how important it is to keep promises.
Stray Dog Dino
Night will fall soon. Sweepers could come for our asses any second now.
Stray Dog Dino
And the Thumb wouldn’t even contact us.
Stray Dog Zulu
We shed blood gathering intel on the Distortion for that bastard Walter, and this is how he repays us?
Stray Dog Dino
Those zealots at the Church of Gears took out more than half our Syndicate.
Stray Dog Zulu
Their leader was an inhuman freak, alright…
Stray Dog Dino
We worked our asses off securing the goods from the Church, and for what…
Stray Dog Dino
If we can’t hand over the floorplan of L Corp’s Nest to the Thumb…
Stray Dog Zulu
All that’s left for us is to get purged by the Thumb for failing our job.
Stray Dog Dino
Shouldn’t have made a deal with an Association in the first place.
Stray Dog Zulu
At least Walter was a sensible one. Maybe something happened to him.
Stray Dog Zulu
He might have been a cunning old fart, but he was still the director of Zwei Section 6. Besides, he’d usually leave field jobs to his men. Doesn’t make sense for him to die all too suddenly.
Stray Dog Dino
Anything can happen.
Stray Dog Zulu
For fuck’s sake, you really killed them all.
Stray Dog Dino
That’s one more option for us.
Stray Dog Dino
You’ve done it again… Flew into a blind rage and crushed their bones and guts to a pulp.
Stray Dog Zulu
Gyeong-mi! Even if they were a bunch of small fry from Section 6, killing this many of ‘em might get Section 2 or 3 to chase us down.
Stray Dog Dino
The Zwei could send an army of Fixers at us now.
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
…These sons of bitches… needed to understand what the weight of a promise is.
Stray Dog Dino
I hope you have a backup plan for when the Zwei come to “thank” us for that lesson.
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
Just look at this.
Stray Dog Dino
An envelope?
Stray Dog Zulu
The rumored invitation to that library.
Stray Dog Dino
Hold on, among the “books of the day” they listed… there’s… The Book of Walter? So that’s what happened? You had a plan after all.
Stray Dog Zulu
What… Gyeong-mi!
Stray Dog Zulu
So you already knew that Walter died in the Library and still pulverised Section 6?
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
About!
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
Sending! A damn! Message!

Servant Roland
Syndicates have a tendency to kill more than they need to, unlike Fixers. They cause trouble just because they feel like it.
Servant Roland
Anyway, what were they trying to do, getting Sweepers and the Thumb involved?
Library Director Angela
I might know about the Sweepers.
Servant Roland
You do? Well, I guess they are infamous.
Library Director Angela
I saw them tear humans to pieces and use them as fuel. Are they like that in real life, too?
Servant Roland
Sort of. One Sweeper is tough as is, but what’s really scary is their organizational power.
Servant Roland
They crawl outta the woodwork every night and clean the Backstreets.
Servant Roland
We can’t even guess how many of them are there. No matter how many we take down, more would show up the next night.
Location: Library Entrance
Stray Dog Dino
Think we can make it back in time? Isn’t it a bit tight?
Stray Dog Zulu
It is, but we’ll probably get back just in time.
Library Director Angela
Greetings, dear guests. I am Angela, the director and librarian of my role’s namesake.
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
Scratch that!
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
Just let us in. We’re in a hurry.
Library Director Angela
You are rather impatient, I see.
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
I said shut up!
Stray Dog Gyeong-mi
And let us in. Now.
Library Director Angela
May you find your book in this place.
