Music: STAGNATION (Yoshimi Kudo)
Usami-chan
In a word, yes, but
She ran off somewhere near the school. Guy named Sekigaharas lookin for her right now.
Whos that?
The only other guy weve seen here besides us.
But lets hurry.
Hold on.
To 1985?
*nod*
We came here to get you. You ready?
Y-Yeah.
Use Sakura High School on Nenji Ogata
Lets head to the school.
Really!?
Thats weird. Wasnt there more than one android here?
Now that you mention it, yeah
Well, Im sure that wont be important in, oh, about five seconds
Music: Bleak Pressure (Kikuchi Yukinori)
So you still dont remember. Theyre taking advantage of your hazy memory.
Stop this! Get him. 426 Your time is up.
We need to go after her. If she seals off the gate, its all over.
That guy just now Are you sure hes safe to be around? He has a gun
We dont have much of a choice.
Identified evidence of activity. A human likely utilized a crane to descend.
Sounds like Ryoko-sans gone ahead. Secure the crane. Dont let her lock it up.
Isnt it really deep?
300 meters. That quadrupeds got a crane equipped.
A crane? That *does* sound like construction equipment.
Well use it like an elevator. Itll take us all the way to the bottom.
Music: The Tower of Knowledge (Hitoshi Sakimoto)
You gonna be okay?
Im not good with heights I didnt realize just how deep it was until we were right there I thought I was going to die.
The same kinda gadgets we saw in that dead kaiju. Theyre all over the damn place. Almost like were in the belly of the boss.
The way we came in is completely dark. I never want to do that again
Dont worry! Well be home soon.
Lets see if Ei has managed to calm Ryoko down.
You recognize me?
Why am I here? Why are *you* here?
Looks like you got some memories back. Do you have your pills?
Not anymore Im all out.
We need to get back to 1985.
She will be. I was worried for a moment, but she seems to be fine for now.
What happened to her? Is she ill?
An incident occurred during our fight in the Sentinels. From that point on, we began having memory issues. Unfortunately, someones been taking advantage of that. Her condition is far more serious than mine. She cant prevent it. In any case, looks like we can travel to 1985 without issue. Itll be ready soon. Just wait here for a moment.
From somewhere offscreen, a strange electronic pulsing sound can be heard
Shes the reason were able to use it at all. This functionality was her handiwork.
Tomi, of course, immediately decides to touch the strange pulsing light hovering in midair. As one does.
This num
Please respond
*gasp*
Music: Who D-Unit (Yoshimi Kudo)
No. 16? Thats the one whos been missing. Is everything okay?
I finally got through
My current location is unknown. My Sentinel and even myself I dont know what condition were in.
The transmission abruptly cuts off.
*gasp*
The light returns and continues to pulse.
Went completely off the radar after that incident I mentioned. What did you do? How did you make contact?
Didnt it kinda sound like you?
You think so?
Did you call that person Kisaragi?
Kisaragi is The control system for Sentinel No. 16.
Why do we have the same name?
Because she is you. Rather A different you.
?
I get it now. Tomi Kisaragi Its your biometric ID.
The line of communication opened due to her ID being authenticated.
Huh?
Well, lets just touch this weird light again
If youre there, answer us.
The answer is troubling.
Oh?
Im outside the world.
What does that mean?
This place is not recognized in any era. This is bad Im being denied access to all sectors. Its Universal Control Its trying to get rid of me. At this rate, Ill
The transmission cuts off once more. And if we touch the light again
Zip.
Universal Control. Its here. Where the primary gate is housed. This underground mainframe monitors the world.
Her location It appears the mainframe does not want us to know.
Looks that way.
Music: Metal Demon (Mitsuhiro Kaneda)
Well, shit.
Sweet!
Uh oh.
Ill be damned. We really made it back.
Use Miwako Sawatari on Nenji Ogata
What!? Wasnt she right next to you?
Lets go back!
Music: Emotional Storm (Yoshimi Kudo)
Were all managed by that computer underground. Isnt that right, Ei-kun?
To make sure no one impacts this world To make sure no one finds out the truth Universal Control pulls the strings. Behind the scenes, it handles our lives as it sees fit.
I cant believe Universal Control kllled Miwako because it knew shed never stop slinging that hot goss
And weve got another block before the next Tomi segment! I think weve only got, like, five people available right now, honestly.
