[k] @Mash I had a feeling that might be the case when you asked us to come fully armed. [k] @Mash So another Singularity has popped up, right? Where is this one?

[bgm BGM_EVENT_124 1.0 1.0] @Da Vinci Sorry. I'm just not quite sure where to begin. [k] [charaFace D 14] @Da Vinci The thing is, there are no absolutes in this world. No matter how much of a genius you might be, something is always going to find a way to surprise you. [k] @Da Vinci For example, maybe a system you thought was safe starts having trouble due to a completely unexpected error.

Don't you shrug your shoulders, raise your paws, and wink at me. [k] [charaFace D 14] @Da Vinci Ahem. Technically, and I admit to no culpability here, but... [k] @Da Vinci ...the anomaly originated from within my jurisdiction, in the Storm Border's simulator room. [k] ?1:So, something went wrong with the simulator? ?! [charaFace D 24] @Da Vinci Yup. Chaldea's simulator creates virtual environments based on the latest Spiritron technology. [k] @Da Vinci And right now, those systems are going haywire. They refuse to respond to external controls or forced shutdown commands. [k] @Da Vinci As far as we've been able to determine, the virtual environment is in the process of becoming an entirely alternate world. [k] [charaFace D 25] @Da Vinci If we don't do something about it soon, there's a very real chance it could develop into a full-blown Singularity. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash That is...definitely a big deal. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 24] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Yeah. There is simply no way this is just an ordinary malfunction. [k] @Da Vinci And I'm not the only one who thinks so. Sion agrees there's more to this simulator situation than meets the eye. [k] [charaFace D 25] @Da Vinci So I'd like the two of you to enter this ever-expanding simulation... [k] @Da Vinci ...and track down the cause of this anomaly. [k] ?1:Got it. ?! [charaFace D 0] @Da Vinci Oh, and if you're wondering where Gordy is in all this, he's taking a nap. [k] @Da Vinci I figured we didn't have to wake him, since this simulator situation is technically just a kind of technical issue, if a bit more serious than usual. [k] @Da Vinci Admittedly, that's something of a gray area. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash So just to clarify, will Master and I be handling this mission as a pair, then? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 12] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Hmm. Well, at first I was thinking of sending just the two of you to handle it... [k] @Da Vinci ...since for now, this problem is still confined to the Storm Border. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Da Vinci But then Trismegistus II suggested adding a Servant it says will be highly effective in resolving this issue. [k] @Da Vinci I'm still not sure why it chose her though. Anyway, I decided to ask for her help too. [k] [charaFace D 26] @Da Vinci Say hello to your new team member and one of the most recent additions to Chaldea!

[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 3] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Medusa Could you not just immediately start about my other selves? [k] @Medusa I'm my own person.

[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 12] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Medusa ...Don't get me wrong. I don't hate talking about them. [k] @Medusa I'm just...still getting used to all this. [k] @Medusa I guess it's kind of...embarrassing, in a way. I'm still not sure how to behave around them. [k] [charaFace C 0] @Medusa What I'm trying to say is, you don't need to apologize. [k] @Medusa It's fine, as long as you don't make unnecessary comparisons between us. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 7] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash U-understood! I'll be more careful from now on! [k] ?1:This is kind of new territory for us too,[csr]since we're used to Servants like Elly. ?2:This definitely isn't how Servants like Elly respond,[csr]so it's novel for us, too. ?! [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Medusa I've heard of her. There's one of her in almost every class, right? [k] [charaFace C 13] @Medusa Honestly, it all sounds insane. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash I'm sure things must be complicated between and Elisabeth and Carmilla, too. [k] @Mash Thinking about that now, I really should have known better than to bring up your other selves right away. [k] [charaFace A 8] @Mash I'll try to do better from now on. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 11] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Medusa I told you, don't worry about it. I just thought I should say something, that's all. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 1] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Hehe. You know, when you can tell someone how you really feel about stuff right from the start... [k] @Da Vinci ...it's usually a good sign that you'll go on to be even closer in the future. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Da Vinci Anyway...Medusa, Mash, [%1]. [k] @Da Vinci You're the team we'll be going with for this mission. [k] @Da Vinci I know I said earlier that the two of you alone should be enough, but that's not because this mission's going to be simple. [k] @Da Vinci It's because I expect you'll find more people willing to help you on-site. [k] [charaFace D 14] @Da Vinci See, the simulator was already running at full bore when this anomaly first began. [k] @Da Vinci More Servants than usual were training in there at the time. [k] [charaFace D 0] @Da Vinci In addition to the Servants who were already there when this began... [k] @Da Vinci ...there are also some who went in without understanding how serious the situation is, and just thought it seemed like fun. [k] @Da Vinci The point is, you should find lots of Servants in there, so I'd like you to work with them to help get things under control. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Medusa Then it isn't as if this is all riding on my shoulders. [k] @Medusa Now I can't help but wonder why I was chosen to go along... [k] @Medusa Well, whatever. Let's just hurry up and get this over with.
