Luna...


Yeah...


Why's there a picture of Luna in this file?


There's something written underneath it...
It says "Appearance after application of ABT."


ABT... ABT...




When a GAULEM's all new and shiny, they've got on a nice suit of ABT over that metal skeleton.




Even feels like real skin, with pores, a little bit of hair, and a few pimples, scars, and the like.
Truth to tell, I doubt you'd be able to tell the real from the fake even if it was right in front of you.
See, right in the middle of—





Luna was a GAULEM...
And "DM-L-016" was her product ID...


That must have been what G-OLM was trying to tell us when he was...stopped.


Hmm...


But...why?
Why would Luna be in the game?


Hm... I don't know how autonomous she really is, but I find it hard to believe she would have come here of her own free will.


So you're saying she was sent here by Zero Sr.


Probably.


Look. At the bottom of the screen it shows her current status.




You think her "special mission" is to participate in the game?


Probably.


So why did Zero Sr. want a robot as a participant?




You think maybe it was to supervise the rest of us?
Maybe if something unexpected happened, she was supposed to...correct it or something?


What if it was some kind of Voight-Kampff test...


A what?


It's from an old book. A test to see how human she was—whether or not eight people would be able to figure out she was a robot.
That might almost explain the whole game, actually.
Making us solve puzzles and play the AB Game...
All of those things could have been designed to give us a chance to see her true nature.


So it's kind of like the Chinese room.


Yeah.
Luna is the girl locked in the room...


And the eight of us are the people outside it.


Hmmm...


Well, like I always say...


It's just a possibility, right?




Looks like a person, acts like a person, and talks like a person, then it's probably a person.




That she was a GAULEM, I mean.


Right now. I didn't know until I saw this stuff.


You're lying.
When I told you about what happened with G-OLM in the pantry, you said something about how this game might be sort of like the Chinese room.


I don't know why I said that.


It just...felt like it made sense.


Like you just knew it?


...Yeah.


...
...


Look, forget about that.
See Luna's status?


Yeah, it says the same thing it did a minute ago.
"Currently operational" "Executing special mission."
...
...




Luna's de—


You think robots die?


...


She was only injected with muscle relaxant...

VLR OST: [Strain]


Of course!
Luna's the one who opened the AB Gate!


That might not be the only thing she did. Look...


What do you mean?


What are the last three digits of her product ID?




And where have we see that before?




No... No, I don't believe it...
Are you saying it was Luna who handcuffed Clover and Tenmyouji?!




You remember where it is?


The crew quarters, of course I remember!



The game forgoes the bleepbloops here. Thanks game!




...


We were right...


Yeah...


Why... Why would Luna...?




...
...




Let's go.
The game hasn't stopped.
If we don't vote, we're going to get penalized.


...
...
Right. Off we go, then.
