...Sion.[bgm BGM_EVENT_38 0.1][sr]Sion Eltnam Sokaris.
[k]

＠???
Visitor from the Atlas Institute who personally unraveled the route of destruction.
[k]

＠???
Your condition for making use of the Wandering Sea in the year 2019 is as follows:
[k]

＠???
“In exchange for a newly issued eighth Atlas contract...”
[k]

＠???
“...we permit your stay in the Wandering Sea for the period of one virtual year on this bleached Earth.”
[k]

＠???
The deadline you specified is soon approaching. I trust this future remains the same?

＠Sion
That is correct. I do not require any fixes or revisions. Please just keep the contract as it is.
[k]

＠Sion
All I ask from those of you in charge of the Wandering Sea is that you continue to watch over Chaldea as they pursue their mission.

＠???
...Very well.
[k]

＠???
Everyone here at Wandering Sea Baldanders recognizes your genius in their own way.
[k]


＠???
Selen, Gate of Preservation, honors your mind. Ganne, Gate of Rebirth, is sympathetic to your actions.
[k]

＠???
Ellen, Gate of Advancement, derides your losses. Guénon, Gate of Storage, empathizes with your mission.
[k]

＠???
And Fushiruka, Gate of Subordination, despises you as much as ever.
[k]

＠???
Out of respect for the Atlas Institute, we of the Wandering Sea will turn a blind eye to this security organization.
[k]

＠Sion
...Phew. Glad to be done with that.
[k]

＠Sion
Well, that was a surprise.[bgm BGM_EVENT_70 0.1] To think the mysterious[sr]call would be from the Wandering Sea's top brass...[sr]I did not expect them to contact me.
[k]


＠Sion
That was from Ganne, the Gate of Rebirth. Ganne, huh...
[k]

＠Sion
If I recall correctly, he was a mage from the Clock Tower who apprenticed himself to the Wandering Sea in the year 1000.
[k]

＠Sion
Did the other Gates choose him to be my point of contact because he is from a relatively modern era? Or are they simply low on personnel?
[k]

[charaFace A 0]
＠Sion
Oh well, I can worry about that later. Right now, I need to get to work!
[k]

＠Sion
Trismegistus II, halt Catastrophe Automation. Tell me about the current existential threat!

＠Sion
Aha, there we go. I see you have really nailed the data down this time.
[k]

[charaFace A 9]
＠Sion
You gave me the exact coordinates for the Singularity, and you even know exactly what the threat is! Perfect job!
[k]

[charaFace A 13]
＠Sion
Oho. So this Singularity first spawned in January 2019, but its inception point is in 1908.
[k]

＠Sion
It started out as a minute Singularity, but quickly expanded in size over this past year...or rather, over these last few days.
[k]

＠Sion
So it is just like a Lostbelt, then. It must have undergone nearly a hundred years worth of development in an instant.
[k]

＠Sion
And if we do not do something to stop it, it will transform all of Eurasia and devolve humanity into lower animals.
[k]

[charaFace A 16]

＠Sion
Yikes. That sounds appalling.
[k]

＠Sion
Humanity has faced many existential threats before, but cases in which humanity is knocked off the apex of the animal kingdom are rare indeed.
[k]

[charaFace A 12]
＠Sion
I suppose I must hand it to Beast IV. She certainly lives up to the moniker “Evil of Humanity.”
[k]

[charaFace A 5]
＠Sion
Okay then, we will just have to compose our response.
[k]

[bgmStop BGM_EVENT_70 1.5]

＠Sion
Trismegistus II, send this message to Chaldea's leaders, and mark it “Urgent”:

“Immature Beast activity detected. Please begin the mission to subdue it within twenty-four hours.”
[k]

＠Sion
“We anticipate the battle will take place in an unusual environment, much like the recent British Lostbelt.”
[k]

＠Sion
“Also, since Chaldea Base is in the middle of significant, end-of-year renovations, Rayshifts and Zero Sails are not currently an option.”
[k]

＠Sion
“You will therefore need to take the Storm Border to the Singularity in question. All Chaldea staff, please make preparations to board the Storm Border ASAP.”
[k]

＠Sion
“Your target is Chaldea's archenemy, the immature Beast known as Tamamo Vitch Koyanskaya.”

[charaFace A 13]
＠Sion
There we go. So that is where Koyanskaya was hiding out after escaping from Britain...
[k]

＠Sion
I am sure she did not plan on revealing her “nest” until the conflict between Chaldea and the Foreign God had been settled...
[k]

[charaFace A 9]
＠Sion
...but it seems the actions she took in the British Lostbelt forced her to show her hand prematurely!
[k]

[charaFace A 18]

＠Sion
That being said, she is still a powerful enemy. I expect Chaldea will need luck to be very much in its favor to come out on top here!
[k]

[charaFace A 5]

＠Sion
Still, if they are going to concentrate their resources on combating the Foreign God, this is not a battle that can be simply avoided or postponed.
[k]

＠Sion
Good luck, everyone. All I can do now is trust in you, and hope for the best.
[k]

[charaCrossFade A 1098158210 6 0.2]

＠Sion
Though of course, I already know exactly how things will turn out thanks to Trismegistus II!
[k]

[charaFace A 10]
＠Sion
No matter how valiantly they fight, Chaldea is doomed to total annihilation. All my work over this past year will have been for nothing!
[k]

[charaFace A 13]
＠Sion
Wait, scratch that last bit. I absolutely cannot share that part of the prediction with them.
