[k] @Danzo I have scanned our surroundings, and can confirm that our Rayshift to the Heian period capital was successful. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Danzo However... [k] [messageOff] [wt 1.0] [bgm BGM_EVENT_81 0.1] [charaFace A 5] @Danzo ...in regards to Lady Mash and Lord Kotarou... [k] @Danzo ...I cannot see them anywhere! [k] ?1:!!! ?! @Danzo Nor can I sense their magical energy signals. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Danzo I also cannot find any signs of their presence, such as footprints in Lady Mash's case or shinobi ciphers in Lord Kotarou's. [k] @Danzo This is truly baffling.

[k] [charaFace A 4] @Danzo However, given Lady Mash and Lord Kotarou's absence, and the fact that I am unable to contact Novum Chaldea... [k] @Danzo ...I am forced to conclude that you and I are the only ones to have arrived at our destination successfully! [k] ?1:Then something must've messed with our Rayshift! [charaFace A 5] @Danzo Yes, I think so too! [k] [charaFace A 4] ?2:This might be Limbo's doing! @Danzo ...Yes, it may well be... [k] ?! @Danzo ...[sr]... [k] [charaFace A 0] @Danzo ...Master. [k] @Danzo As a countermeasure against interference in the Rayshift, we were employing Presence Concealment. [k] [branchQuestNotClear lblNotClear 2000118] @Danzo Lady Da Vinci came up with the idea using the interference data collected from the Shinjuku Pseudo-Singularity. [k] @Danzo Sabers could use Magic Resistance,[sr]Casters could use Territory Creation... [k] @Danzo ...and so on for each class. [k] [branch lblConf] [label lblNotClear] [label lblConf] [charaFace A 5] @Danzo Naturally, both Lord Kotarou and I used the skills we were directed to during this Rayshift... [k] @Danzo ...but just before the Rayshift ended, I felt an odd disturbance in my magical energy... [k] @Danzo ...almost as though I had run into a Bounded Field. [k] ?1:That must be what interfered with Mash and Kotarou's Rayshift. ?! @Danzo Yes, I believe so. [k] [messageOff] [charaFace A 0] [wt 1.0] [charaFace A 4] @Danzo As a matter of fact... [k] @Danzo ...I happened to sense Lord Kotarou's magical energy, though only for a moment. [k] @Danzo This is only speculation on my part, but... [k] @Danzo ...I think Lord Kotarou may have acted as a decoy to draw the enemy's attention. [k] @Danzo If that's true, I can only assume he wanted you to have at least one Servant by your side, rather than none. [k] ?1:I see. So he sent you on ahead to help me. ?! [charaFace A 1] @Danzo ...I believe so, yes. [k] @Danzo A painful reminder that there are areas where my skills are left wanting. Lord Kotarou, on the other hand, is a true shinobi. [k] [messageOff] [charaFace A 4] [wt 1.0] [charaFace A 0] @Danzo At any rate, let us take stock of our situation, Master. [k] @Danzo It seems clear that you and I were the only members of our party to successfully reach our destination. [k] @Danzo At present, Lady Mash and Lord Kotarou's whereabouts remain unknown. [k] @Danzo The Rayshift interference could have sent them both back to Novum Chaldea... [k] @Danzo ...or they could have each arrived in different locations somewhere in Heian-kyo. [k] ?1:Let's start by doing what we can. ?! [messageOff] [wt 0.5] ?1:We'll keep an eye out for Mash and Kotarou... ?! [wt 0.5] ?1:...and look for locals who can help us! ?2:...and figure out a way to restore communications with Novum Chaldea! ?! [charaFace A 5] @Danzo Understood! [k] @Danzo Then let us get moving and begin our search for our teammates. Oh, and we should also try to find a local who can help us, such as Lady Raikou! [k] @Danzo As for the comms interference, our solutions will vary depending on the type of Bounded Field the enemy is using. [k] @Danzo If I can just find the Bounded Field's edge, or perhaps a seam, I should be able to reestablish contact. [k] ?1:In the meantime, we may as well get going. ?2:Come on then, let's go! ?! [charaFace A 0] @Danzo Yes, Master. [k] [messageOff] [wt 0.4] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_81 1.2] [charaFace A 2] [wt 0.7] [charaFace A 5] @Danzo Wait. Just a moment. [k] @Danzo I am detecting something in those shadows... [k] @Danzo No, multiple somethings. And I expect they each contain a great deal of magical energy. [k] @Danzo So I would urge you to slowly, carefully... [k] @Danzo ...get behind me. Please. [k] [charaFadeTime L 0.2 0.5] @Danzo (I was too careless!)
