Very good. [k] [charaFace B 16] ＠Goredolf Master [%1].[sr]Servants. Mash Kyrielight. [k] ＠Goredolf As of this moment, Chaldea will assume its first battle station! And I don't want to hear any whining about how we're starting the operation two days ahead of schedule! [k] ＠Goredolf Captain reported that the Nautilus's test-dive in Void Space concluded safely... [k] ＠Goredolf ...so I trust you're all prepared for the genuine article then? [k] ？1：Yes, sir! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 2] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash Y-yes, Director! We're completely over our seasickness and are ready to begin the operation at any time! [k] ？2：(Uh... How did the test-dive go again?) [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 8] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash I can't seem to recall it very clearly, either. Though I do get the feeling it was quite the experience... [k] ？！ [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Holmes I am sorry about this, everyone, but Goredolf is right. The situation is dire. [k] ＠Holmes There was a change yesterday in the branches of the Tree of Emptiness that we believe now covers the entire Earth. [k] ＠Holmes These branches were previously circulating magical energy between them, like a network, but now, they have begun funneling that energy towards the center of the Atlantic. [k] ＠Holmes We don't yet know what this[sr]phenomenon signifies, but[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 5] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] ＠Sion Whatever it is, we can be certain that energy is being stockpiled for use in a large-scale magecraft ritual. [k] ＠Sion Currently, the amount of energy we have measured is already equal to that used for Goetia's Incineration of Humanity. [k] ＠Sion While we are unable to observe the Lostbelt's interior, Trismegistus already declared it a disaster on a global scale. [k] ＠Sion I therefore recommend that this anomaly, that is the Atlantic Lostbelt's Tree of Emptiness, be dealt with as swiftly as possible. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash A magecraft ritual on the same scale as the Incineration of Humanity...! Then, that would mean[line 2] [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 5] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] ＠Da Vinci Yup. The Foreign God descending to Earth. [k] ＠Da Vinci Every data fragment we've gathered up to this point is pointing directly towards that inescapable conclusion. [k] [charaFace D 12] ＠Da Vinci That being said, we still don't know what this Foreign God is, whether they really are a god... [k] ＠Da Vinci ...or hell, whether or not they even exist in the first place. [k] [charaFace D 16] ＠Da Vinci Sorry for being so useless☆ [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 6] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] ＠Goredolf Th-there's no need to apologize for that, Da Vinci. You can't help that we have so little information to work with! [k] ＠Goredolf It's not your skills that are the problem. It's the damn Crypters not giving us anything to go on! [k] [charaFace B 10] ＠Goredolf ...Though of course, it also seems like they don't know any more about the Foreign God than we do. [k] ＠Goredolf I expect the only Crypter who does know the truth is their leader, Kirschtaria Wodime. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] ＠Holmes Not to worry. I expect that too will be made quite clear over the course of this operation. [k] ＠Holmes Both the English Lostbelt and the South American Lostbelt currently appear to be stagnant, with neither showing any further signs of expanding their territory. [k] ＠Holmes Therefore, as we have previously discussed, Chaldea will be directing all of our resources towards eliminating the Atlantic Lostbelt. [k] ＠Holmes And now, our preparations for that operation are complete. [k] ＠Holmes The Nautilus has been equipped with an ultra long-range lens capable of observing outer space, and a record-breaking magecraft barrier from all of human history. [k] ＠Holmes The Shadow Border has been overhauled to such a significant degree that it could almost be called a wholly new machine... [k] ＠Holmes Both the Nautilus and the Border have been outfitted with identical functionality in the unlikely event that one of them is scuttled... [k] ＠Holmes And Ms. Kyrielight's Round Table has been infused with enough magical energy to summon a number of Servants on-site. [k] [charaFace C 4] ＠Holmes My only regret is that we weren't able to finish an Ortinax replacement unit before circumstances forced our hand... [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 12] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] ＠Sion Oh, do not worry about that.[sr]I will continue to work on its design myself. [k] ＠Sion There should already be enough materials for the reconstruction on board the Border... [k] ＠Sion ...so as long as you are able to discover or otherwise procure a concept powerful enough to fill in for one of its bullets... [k] [charaFace E 13] ＠Sion ...I will be able to put the whole thing together in the time it takes you all to eat lunch! [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] ＠Mash Right. Both my ultra long-range sniper training and the Ortinax's transformation sequence have been cleared for action. [k] ＠Mash If it needs to be deployed to give us an edge during a decisive battle, I promise I will wield it to the best of my ability! [k] ？1：Huh? ？2：What's this about a transformation sequence? ？！ [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 10] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] ＠Sion Now, now, just pretend you did not hear any of that! Besides, we still do not know if it will even be relevant here! [k] [charaFace E 12] ＠Sion ...Now then. [k] ＠Sion As the Command Room officer who will be holding down the fort in your absence, I would once again like to give my usual order to those of you on the field team. [k] [charaFace E 5] ＠Sion The situation has changed significantly. [k] ＠Sion I will not say we do not have a minute to spare...but I will say that time is definitely not on our side. [k] ＠Sion What is more, it looks like that was the case for our most key point of attack as well: the Atlantic Lostbelt. [k] ＠Sion They have now put us in check before we had a chance to do the same to them. [k] ＠Sion This is probably going to be longer than any battle you have fought to date, both in terms of number of enemies and the path you will need to take to reach your destination. [k] ＠Sion Even a Zero Sail can only take you to the Lostbelt's outer edge, which in this case means there will be more distance between you and the Tree of Emptiness than ever before. [k] [charaFace E 18] ＠Sion So I urge you all to handle yourselves even more cautiously and coolheadedly than you have been so far. [k] ＠Sion In this Atlantic Lostbelt, the act of learning about its world may actually end up working against you. [k] ＠Sion So I ask that you all stay strong, and that you simultaneously be proud of your own latent potential. [k] ＠Sion If you ever reach a point where you decide you cannot continue with the operation, feel free to come back here immediately. [k] [messageOff] [wt 1.0] [charaFace E 11] ＠Sion ...No, what am I saying!?[sr]Now is not the time for pessimism! [k] ＠Sion This is all my third process's fault! She has been incessantly insisting since yesterday that this simply cannot work! [k] [charaFace E 12] ＠Sion All right, let us all go out there and take back our Earth! [k] ＠Sion Field team, go ahead and board the Border, starting with Master [%1]. [k] ＠Sion Once I have confirmed that all of your vitals are green, you are to untether the Nautilus from reality. [k] ＠Sion From there, you will execute a Zero Sail,[sr]and this operation will commence in earnest... [k] ＠Sion ...Order: Lostbelt No. 5, Sub-Order:[sr]Those Who Cross the Sea of Stars. [k] [charaFace E 0] ＠Sion Make sure you all give it everything you have,[sr]and I look forward to your safe return!
