[k] @Da Vinci As for us, we're Chaldea, the Security Organization dedicated to the Preservation of Humanity. [k] @Da Vinci You can think of us as [%1]'s backup team, [&his:her] operational support, if you like. [k] @Da Vinci I am Leonardo da Vinci.[sr]Most people just call me Da Vinci, though! [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash And I'm Mash...Mash Kyrielight.[sr]I'm one of Senpai's Servants.

[k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash So, you're...Sakamoto Ryouma. [k] @Mash Even though you're a master of the Hokushin Ittouryu, your greatest achievement did not involve drawing your sword... [k] @Mash ...but in helping to negotiate the Satchou Alliance in an effort to restore imperial rule to Japan. You were a hero of the Meiji Restoration.

Oryou didn't know you were so famous.[sr]Yaaay. Now we can have sekihan tomorrow too. [k] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 7] @Sakamoto Ryouma Mmm. How kind of you. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Sakamoto Ryouma Let's see, Da Vinci, was it? [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma It seems you've already gotten a good look at what's going on here in Tokyo, yes? [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Righto. Honestly, this sorta stuff happens all the time, so it's not really anything new for us. But let me fill you in just in case. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_7 1.0] @Da Vinci That place you're in now? Tokyo is the only thing that exists there. Basically a self-contained island. [k] ?1:Only Tokyo? ?2:What do you mean? ?! [bgm BGM_EVENT_5 0.1 1.0] @Da Vinci It's shut in by a series of invisible walls, which makes it impossible to get in or out using conventional means. [k] @Da Vinci It's a bit like a Singularity in that it's quite separate from regular human history. [k] ?1:Then, nobody can escape from here? ?2:Does that mean you can't intervene from the outside? ?! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1200,1200] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 4] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Sakamoto Ryouma A Singularity, huh... Yeah, that sounds about right. [k] [charaFace E 6] @Sakamoto Ryouma ...You're spot-on. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma Nobody, whether human or Servant, is able to set one foot outside the Imperial Capital's limits. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma It's completely isolated, even from history itself. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut H 1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Then, how is Senpai supposed to get back? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci Oh, don't you worry about that, Mash. [k] @Da Vinci The fact that we're able to communicate like this means there should also be a way to Rayshift [&him:her] out of there. [k] @Da Vinci Though we'll need a lot more information and a much more stable connection to improve our odds of success. [k] @Da Vinci Fortunately, since I'm such an amazing genius,[sr]I've already mapped out the Singularity's structure. [k] @Da Vinci Near as I can tell, it's erecting a Bounded Field around several different points to maintain the whole area's integrity. [k] [charaFace B 4] @Da Vinci I've narrowed down a few points that seem like likely candidates, but I can't say anything for sure without seeing them for myself...

What you've said has been a big help, believe it or not. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma I already planned to investigate this place myself anyway.

[k] @Da Vinci It looks like somebody's jamming our signal. Whoever it is, they must have some kinda jerkwad engineer working for them. [k] @Da Vinci It's going to take us a while to sort all this out,[sr]and we'll have to disconnect while we do it. [k] @Da Vinci I'm afraid this is all we can do for now.[sr]Let me send you the points to investigate before we go. [k] [messageOff] [se ad15] [wt 1.0] @Da Vinci ...All right, [%1]. [k] @Da Vinci We'll keep an eye on things from here as best we can,[sr]but make sure you watch your own back too.

[k] [charaFace A 6] @Mash B-by the way, is that Okita there with you?[sr]She seems...kind of different... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 0,-90] @Da Vinci I was too busy with my analysis to pay much attention, but now that you mention it, she DOES have a different air about her, doesn't she.

[k] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 6] @Sakamoto Ryouma ...You're more than a little clueless about some things, aren't you, Oryou. [k] [charaFace E 0] @Sakamoto Ryouma Anyway, we don't have any time to waste.[sr]I need to find out what the other Servants are up to. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma Since your wound still needs time to heal, can I ask you to stay here and watch the place while I'm gone? [k] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] @Oryou He means weaklings should stay put.[sr]Sit... Stay! Good small fry. [k] ?1:Understood. ?2:Small fry...? ?! [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Okita Alter ...I'll keep Master safe. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Sakamoto Ryouma Yes, please do. That will be a big help. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma Say, I have an idea. If you have the time,[sr]maybe you'd like to help me a bit with my work? [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma Things have kind of piled up while I've been away from the office, you see. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma I'll be happy to pay you, of course, and you wouldn't have to go far out of your way. Just handle whatever you're comfortable with. That should be fine. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma Since this area is a good ways away from the three Servants' territories, it should be pretty safe. [k] ?1:Territories? ?! @Sakamoto Ryouma Ah, yes. It's a sort of additional[sr]rule specific to this Holy Grail War. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma As long as a Servant with an official[sr]class is inside their own territory... [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma ...they receive special support from the Holy Grail. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 6] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Okita Alter ...I don't have any support.

[k] @Sakamoto Ryouma Only once a Servant has won a battle for a class,[sr]and then been registered as that class... [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma ...will the Holy Grail begin to support them. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma You can't compete with other Servants over territory until you've done that much. [k] ?1:Reminds me of that ink shooter that Archer and Hokusai play... ?2:It reminds me of Risk or something. ?! @Sakamoto Ryouma Essentially. All of the contestants[sr]are competing for territory. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma Incidentally, since I'm a Rider, I have some leeway to ignore the other Servants' territories and go where I please. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma Luckily for me, that's a handy thing to be able[sr]to do when you're conducting an investigation. [k] ?1:I see. @Sakamoto Ryouma I'm glad you catch on so quickly. I've never been part of a Holy Grail War quite like this either. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma There are still a lot of things I'm unsure about, and the only way to find out more is to do the legwork. [k] ?2:Does that go for the Mini Nobus too? @Sakamoto Ryouma You mean those strange creatures the Archer was commanding? It seems so, yes. [k] @Sakamoto Ryouma The effect seems to differ depending on the Heroic Spirit and class, so in the end, it still comes down to investigating matters directly. [k] ?! [charaFace E 7] @Sakamoto Ryouma All right then, I'm going out for a while.[sr]Thanks for keeping an eye on my office in the meantime. [k] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFace E 0] @Oryou Oryou will bring you back a frog. [k] ?1:Be careful out there. ?2:Um, I'm not really fond of frogs... ?!
