I've already got her in position, and according to our calculations, we should be able to finish this battle with about six lightning strikes from her Noble Phantasm.
[k]
＠Nemo
That said, if the plan goes awry, there's still a risk the enemy will counterattack and call for reinforcements again, so we'll need to be ready for that possibility, too.
[k]
＠Nemo
Combat team, you'll remain on standby here in the ship.
[k]
＠Nemo
If worse comes to worst, we may also need to release the Nautilus Noble Phantasm again. I trust we're all good to go on that front now, Engine Room?

I've actually been having Raikou investigate some things on the Nautilus in her capacity as shadow prefect...

...and I asked her to let me know if she found anything suspicious, or anyone doing anything suspicious.
[k]
[charaFace A 0]

I'm sorry. While I do think it was worthwhile to have her keep a low profile, it doesn't excuse the fact that I overstepped my authority by ordering one of your Servants.

This Spirit Origin isn't very well-suited to espionage, so I've been going about my investigation quite openly...
[k]

...and if nothing else, I can tell you that I found no signs of suspicious behavior on anyone's part during the two assaults the Nautilus has faced thus far.
[k]
＠Minamoto-no-Raikou
That includes the ones called Yang Guifei and Van Gogh.

Naturally, I investigated these newcomers especially thoroughly to ensure any undesirables keep their distance from you, Master.
[k]
＠Minamoto-no-Raikou
But no matter how hard I looked, I found no evidence of suspicious behavior on their part during either assault.
[k]
＠Minamoto-no-Raikou
In fact, I can even say with certainty that there were no loud sounds produced in or by the Nautilus prior to those attacks.

While she doesn't know where it came from or what it could be, Yang Guifei was the only one who mentioned she thought she heard a strange sound before we were attacked.
[k]
[charaFace A 5]
＠Nemo
If that's true, it could be an enemy pinger.
[k]
？1：What's a pinger?
？！
[charaFace A 0]
＠Nemo
It's an active form of sonar, which finds objects by emitting sound waves and seeing which ones bounce back.
[k]
＠Nemo
The pinger is the device that emits the sound waves.
Up till now, we've only seen and captured void enemies who have been swimming and hunting on instinct alone, but that might be changing.
[k]
[charaFace A 5]
＠Nemo
While it's possible that at least one enemy who excels in covert abilities has been cunningly hiding their true intelligence from the beginning...
[k]

We actually recorded that song ahead of time and used a polar opposite waveform to ensure its sound would be canceled out before it could escape the ship.

If the enemy had attacked us then, it would've given the idea that someone inside the ship was covertly controlling them more credence, but of course, that never happened.
