WARP Corp. Announcement
The train has arrived.
WARP Corp. Announcement
It will be available at the terminal in ten minutes.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Quick, let’s get moving.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Let’s see what kind of mess it got into this time.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
I really hope it’s anything like the last time. All the passengers were sitting still in their seats, clasping their hands together.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
You said that’s an extremely uncommon occurrence though, right?
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Yep. They usually do arts and crafts with each other’s organs and shit.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
You’ve probably seen the educational footage, but you’d better be prepared, newb.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
I don’t think I’ll ever want to take a WARP train in my life.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Even if they let you forget all about it?
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
No thanks. Knowing what happens absolutely kills the deal for me.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Hey, we’re all ready. It’s time to start the cleanup.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Open up!
Location: Inside WARP Train UW-212
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Fresh meat, just follow the manual. Remember the procedures.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
This one’s pretty typical.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Eww… The stench is so strong even with my mask on, it feels like it’s physically stinging my nose.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Hello~ You’re still alive, right?
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Hmm… “The flesh is spread thin in an attempt to maximize the surface area. The subject is determined to feel as much pain as possible…” This one would classify as a suicidal.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Ooh, you’re pretty good, aren’t ya? A lot of newbies can’t help but puke or faint on their first field job, even with the help of educational footage.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
‘Cause she’s from District 23.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Can’t say I’ve seen worse, but I’m used to seeing this level of grotesque things.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Now, now. Cleanup agents, identify the genomes in your designated carriages and place the passengers back in their seats.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Gross… Look at that mushy eye still rolling around… I can never get used to this. I wonder how long I’ll be doing this work…
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
You said cleanup agents go through a memory erasure procedure and get their retirement fund when they quit, right?
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
You seriously buy that crap? You should know something’s up especially since you’re from the Backstreets.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
You mean that’s a lie?
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
They’d probably drag you to some dark room and kill you without anyone knowing.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Whoops, don’t tell anyone that I said this. My employee review results weren’t too good this time around. You know I was just kidding, right?
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Huhuhu. Maybe I’ll consider keeping quiet if you buy me dinner. How about some gopchang-jeongol!
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Gopchang? You eat beef tripe? Rose… I’m starting to get scared of this newbie…
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
…Is that true?
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Hm hm hmm~ Gotta do some work~ Work~ Sort out the genomes~ And I just gotta put them on the right seats, correct?
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Yep~ Just put ‘em on their seats, and they’ll be restored, good as new.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Sen, Lesti. Stop your work immediately. We’re going back to the office.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Wha?
Location: WARP Corp. Office
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Passengers have gone missing?!
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Hey! Keep it down. We don’t want anyone else to hear that, dig?
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
This room is in maximum security, anyway.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
It’s not just any passengers, the ones in First Class seats have disappeared.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
The higher ups are gonna have a headache over this, too.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
First Class passengers disappearing is already a significant risk, but we’ve also lost some time.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
The time quota wasn’t fulfilled.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
WARP Corp. has never had a siiingle incident ever since it became a Wing, hasn’t it? Gee, I wonder what went wrong now.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
The engineers are investigating it for now. Take a look at this first.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Oh~ This must be the camera that only records important moments based on the emotional flux of people nearby!
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
I saw it in an educational footage.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Ugh, what’s up with that? Did people merge into one at some point?
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Those guys look like doctors? They’re stitching bodies together so precisely.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
I pity the cleanup agents who’ll have to tear them apart.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
That entity possessed extreme physical strength, sixteen of our agents were killed by that thing alone.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
“Love Town”… They made a town for themselves too, huh.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
That doctor-ish duo must’ve been the anchor of the town… The townsfolk are all crying since they’re gone.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
How did they get off the train, though?
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Check this out. It’s footage of the First Class carriage.
Passenger First Class Passenger 1
Who the hell are y— GAHHHHH!
Passenger First Class Passenger 2
Do you know who I am?! Brat! Do you?! I’m a board member of U Corp!!!
Passenger First Class Passenger 3
Who sent you… Who’s behind this!!!
Puppeteer Jae-heon
Who could it be, I wonder? Heehee… Must be the invisible strings that are doing all this.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
He’s stitching the flesh of living people… And putting strings in them…
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
The heck is that guy? Got any contact from Hana Association? Is that a Syndicate, or what?
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
That seems to be the one called ‘The Puppeteer’. Looks like he has quite a reputation in the Backstreets.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
What’s his grade?
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Urban Nightmare. But he just laid hands on VIPs, so he’ll be exalted to a Star of the City in no time.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
And here. The one next to him is ‘Blood-red Night’. She’s a former Star of the City that was shot down some time ago.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Wait, is it possible for a Star to come back after being shot down?
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Hell if I know. Why did they have to take the train we’re in charge of and do all that?
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Most importantly, check this part out.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
The First Class passengers… No, “puppets” as designated by Hana Association.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
You can see those puppets sign a piece of paper here, yeah?
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Oh, they really are? They’re writing their names on a gorgeous-looking piece of paper.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
And they just disappeared?
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Whoa, what. Ain’t that a real teleportation?
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
This is the very same kind of paper they signed off on.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Um, are you… Actually gonna…
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Rose! Please give us a break…
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
We’re signing this paper as well. This is the so-called “invitation” from an Urban Nightmare dubbed ‘The Library’.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Sigh…
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Sob, sob… I struggled and worked like a dog in District 23… And I barely made it into this Wing…
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
It’s the orders from up top. No choice but to follow ‘em. We’ll bring a few other cleanup agents with us to the Library.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Dude, what if we refused this order…
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Then we’re fired.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Bwaaaahaaaaaa!!!

Servant Roland
So it really wasn’t a malfunction.
Servant Roland
Those crooks at W Corp… They knew everything.
Servant Roland
Gah, dammit… I took WARP trains a couple of times before…
Library Director Angela
Don’t you remember anything that happened inside?
Servant Roland
Nope, not at all. All I can remember is admiring the marvels of modern technology after getting off the train.
Servant Roland
And look those employees. Following manuals, making jokes about it, taking care of flesh chunks so casually.
Library Director Angela
Lobotomy Corp. was no different. Still, it’s rather intriguing to see another Wing’s mortifying secrets with my own eyes.
Library Director Angela
I see that everyone is the same, after all. Doing detestable things simply because it’s their work…
Library Director Angela
They can be apathetic about it because the suffering inflicted on others is none of their business.
Servant Roland
It’s gonna be sick if we made a book out of this.
Servant Roland
Imagine if this knowledge leaks into the world. I bet no one will ever wanna use W Corp’s trains anymore, yeah?
Servant Roland
Which would make W Corp. that much more desperate to retrieve it.
Library Director Angela
I’d welcome that. I can learn even more about them that way.
Servant Roland
Upfront as always, our Miss Library Director.
Library Director Angela
And I take pride in that.
Location: Library Entrance
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
For real?!
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Yep. They made a whole ass kingdom on the train one time.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Appointed each other as kings, knights, nobles, and whatever.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
A town is nothing compared to that.
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
Treason and schemes were rampant, the kingdom fell into decline, and loyal knights made valiant efforts to save their failing country.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
Wow~ What happened next?!
Library Director Angela
Greetings, dear guests.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Enough chitchats, agents.
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
Hey there. Have the… puppets been here recently?
Library Director Angela
You mean the puppets made from W Corp’s First Class passengers, correct?
WARP Cleanup Agent Sen
…How much do you know, lady.
Library Director Angela
They have, of course. And you may retrieve their books so that no one else would learn of the incident.
Library Director Angela
If you fail, however, other guests may obtain the books that hold the secrets of WARP trains.
WARP Cleanup Agent Lesti
W Corp. would be totally screwed, then?!
WARP Cleanup Agent Rose
We’re going in right now.
Library Director Angela
May you find your book in this place.
