Chapter 4 - Stage 5

Opening

Marie: Whats the status of the signal repeater?
Constantia: AGS and the others are currently in transition.
            There seems to be no particular problem so far.
Marie: Thats good. That means should we only get rid of the enemies ahead?
Constantia: Yes. Then the drone will be able to receive the signal and move.
            It should soon reveal the structure of the underground waterway.
Marie: Then I hope the drone works as expected and reveals the path of the Trickster and the entrance of the superstructure.
       It depends on our success or failure. Ill sortie.
       Lets catch up with the Trickster right away...


Ending

The exploration drone was successfully recovered.
Marie still organised an exploration force.
We are tracking the traces of the Trickster.
What we can do for now is... wait.

Fortune: Oh commander? Welcome back.
         Onee-chan is tired of waiting!

Did you get any clues?

Fortune: A signal repeater has been installed on the road that Captain Marie cleaned up earlier.
         After a while, the ultra-small drone should start moving in response to the signal!
         All you have to do is code the results.
         I have to report some other things, there is another material that I was able to analyse from the experimental site.
         Please read it. It should be useful.

[MP NW101 Related Record Outline 2]
With love from your onee-chan. I did my best for commander.
Day 1 of restoration, T-1 Goblin 288
Goblin 288 does not regain consciousness.
Day 2 of restoration, Goblin 288 regained consciousness.
The replicated nerves work normally. Violent reactions. Shows aggression.
Day 3 of restoration, Goblin 288 is still aggressive.
Killed a researcher. Immediately reveal his memories.
Day 4 of restoration, Goblin 288 killed himself.
Before he killed himself he complained of Phantom Pain.
Before death, it was determined that the brain is able to remember the memories and was working normally.

Fortune: Look at this. An operation to duplicate brain nerves.
         Apparently they were experimenting here.

Duplicate nerves? For what?

Fortune: It was a common operation to turn some of the nerves into circuits.
         The commander also has traces of implant surgery in his central nervous system.
         More important than that... this murder impulse...

The Predator!

Fortune: Yes. The Predator!
         With this we can understand why that iron-bugs attacked the others.
         It was said, "Transfer the goblins to the facility"

That facility is...

Fortune: There is plenty of potential thats facility we are looking for.
         That would be the reason why the Trickster went there...
         What do you think commander? Shouldnt we find this facility soon?
         Dont you think the Trickster is aiming for this?

The story of Fortune makes sense.
But why didnt Trickster aim for this facility right away?
Did it put something important in the tank?
I have to wait for the drone for the time being.
Everything has a reason.
I have to make sure the drone information is useful to us.
