[k] [charaFace B 12] @Mash How are you feeling, Senpai?[sr]Do you feel sick, or short of breath? [k] [charaFace B 13] @Mash If you experience any numbness, headache, stomachache, or terrible, wrenching heartache at the idea of not having your kouhai with you, let us know! [k] ?1:I'm feeling fine so far, but... ?2:It is a little lonesome over here. ?! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Huh, it's not like you to be so vague, [%1]. [k] @Da Vinci From what I can tell, there isn't anything particularly distressing about your surroundings. Is there something on your mind? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash I don't think that's it, acting commander. There are some things you can't tell from scan data alone. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Mash Remember, Senpai is the first person to set foot in a place that has been completely unknown to humanity. [k] @Mash We may have tried to find out as much about it as we could ahead of time, but there is really no way of knowing what sort of effect that could have on someone. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Good point. I know I certainly wasn't expecting to see this much greenery in a subterranean space. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci In fact... Hmm.[sr]There IS something strange about this place. [k] @Da Vinci It's...that there's nothing strange about it.[sr]This place is several kilometers under the surface... [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci We should be dealing with extreme heat and air pressure, and yet there's nothing of the sort as far as I can tell. [k] @Da Vinci Where is the air that [%1] is breathing right now even coming from? Plants? If that's the case, how are they here? How do they have light for photosynthesis? [k] @Da Vinci I know we've seen the underworld, but that could only exist in the Age of Gods, not the year 2000. [k] [charaFace A 2] @Da Vinci So how can this underground world be so lush!? [k] @Da Vinci Even a universal genius like me has no explanation!

[k] [messageOff] [cameraMove 0.7 0,0 1.0] [wt 1.2] [charaPut G 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci You'd think so, but that type of moss only collects ambient light through its lens-shaped cell structure. [k] @Da Vinci As much as you'll see it in fiction, it's not really possible for plants to emit light equivalent to the sun's rays. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash I see...[sr]So...we really don't know what's going on here... [k] ?1:It's nothing like the Babylonian underworld. ?! [charaFace B 0] @Mash It doesn't seem like the Aztec underground world Xibalba that Quetzalcoatl once told us about either. [k] @Mash It seems like you're in an actual subterranean space rather than an alternate dimension for the afterlife. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 5] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci All we can say for sure, [%1], is that this place is...bizarre. [k] @Da Vinci Put differently, this place doesn't seem to quite be following the laws of nature as we understand them. [k] @Da Vinci In a sense, it may be best to think of that underground space as a different, independent world. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci Hmm... A whole new world... I think it deserves a better name than just “underground space.” [k] @Da Vinci From now on, I'm going to call it “Agartha.” [k] [charaFace A 1] @Da Vinci It's the name of a legendary subterranean kingdom from occult myth. Pretty fitting, wouldn't you say? [k] ?1:Nice and simple. I like it. [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash Yes, I feel the same. [k] [charaFace B 12] @Mash Although...wasn't Helena the one who told us about that? [k] ?2:Hasn't Mahatma♀Helena mentioned that before? [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash Mahatma? You mean, Helena Blavatsky? [k] ?! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Now that you mention it... Yes. She did write about Agartha back when she was alive. [k] @Da Vinci As I recall, she said it was one of the most important elements of occult history[line 2]an ideal underground paradise, located at the center of the Hollow Earth. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci While it's too soon to say if the object of her research has anything to do with this place... [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci ...there are at least some similarities with this strange underground world. [k] @Da Vinci No doubt Helena would have been overjoyed to see this for herself. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci In fact, I thought she'd be interested in hearing about this situation, but she's not here, is she? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_2 0.7] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash ...! [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_5 0.1] [charaFace B 8] @Mash ...Master, acting commander, I'm so sorry. [k] [charaFace B 12] @Mash I forgot to mention that back when we first confirmed Agartha's existence... [k] @Mash ...It was reported that a number of Chaldea's Servants have gone missing. [k] @Mash And one of them is Helena Blavatsky... [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Well well,[se ad403][seVolume ad403 0 0.7] and here I was only half-joking.[sr]Maybe she's already there. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci Of course, this is Helena we're talking about. She may have Rayshifted there on her own after hearing about the place, or she may have been resummoned there automatically for a completely different reason. [k] @Da Vinci After all, she is the heretic[charaFace A 4][line 2]I mean, hero of the occult world, with ties to UFOs and everything. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci I don't think she'd be able to keep away from a place like that with how connected it is to the occult. [k] ?1:Hang on. Did you say “a number of”? ?! [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash Y-yes, I did... We've confirmed three so far:[sr]Heracles, Fergus, and Drake. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Hmm. I can't think of any connection between them. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Da Vinci It's possible that, with the Incineration of Humanity having been stopped, they just chose to end their contracts on their own. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci But...I'd bet there's some kind of connection to this, even if we can't tell what it might be yet. Anyway, we can worry about that later. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Da Vinci Right now, all we can say for sure is that Helena, and maybe a few other Servants, might be there. [k] @Da Vinci If you can track them down, I think you should try to rendezvous with them. They should be willing to cooperate, since you already know them and all. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 12] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash I agree. And if Helena really is there, we may be able to learn something useful from her, since she knows so much about mythical underground worlds. [k] @Mash That would be a great help in keeping Master safe.[sr]So if she's there, I hope you find her soon!
