• [Rookie] This shouldn't have happened. Please contact the Operation Team. [Rookie] Err, then... (Am I really interrogating him?)

• [Rookie] ... Hey, take it easy. You're in no position to demand anything. You've done some serious damage to us.

• [Elyumina] Stuff it! What about the damage you've done on me? You invaded my lab and tried to steal my research results!

• [Rookie] If you mean your illegal experimentation results, didn't you know they might get you in trouble one day?

• [Rookie] Well, that doesn't matter. You care about your research, don't you? Cooperate with us, and we'll help you continue with it.

• [Rookie] Only the part that's legal, of course. But we'll make sure you can keep it. So, tell us everything you know about this place and your coworkers.

• [Elyumina] My coworkers? I don't care about those lunatics. They're not my coworkers. I only used them for my research.

• [Rookie] Come to think of it, your name wasn't on the employee list from the company. Who are you? What kind of research did you need them for?

• [Elyumina] Don't you know who I am? I'm Schwarzwald's--no, the continent's greatest machine learning researcher. I bet you all have seen my serviceroids.

• [Rookie] ... Nope.

• [Elyumina] Hmpf, you probably didn't even know they were serviceroids. I was so close to transplanting human minds into my machines.

• [Elyumina] I could have given you my beautiful machine bodies, so you could forever preserve the knowledge that you all have worked so hard to accumulate.

• [Elyumina] Do you get it? I was doing something greater than any one of you fools can imagine. My research is nothing compared to the childish works of Vor, Wer, whatever their names were.

• [Rookie] Vor-who? Vorseff? Or Werner? Do you know them?

• [Elyumina] Well, I know both names, but they don't interest me. Both of them risked their lives for stupid things.

• [Rookie] Maybe it's time you should take more interest. We want you to talk. Listen up. You've got two choices.

• [Rookie] First, you could decide to be stubborn and not to tell us about your illegal research or your friends. You stay loyal to them in exchange for... The death sentence. In this case, you'll have no future.

• [Rookie] Or you could be more considerate of your future and provide us information about your coworkers who were only your business partners. In this case, you'll get to keep your research, though in a limited capacity.

• [Rookie] You'll have to pay for what you did, of course, but eventually, you'll be able to do what you want.

• [Elyumina] ...

• [Rookie] We're offering you a plea bargain. We're making sacrifices by offering it to you because we really believe you're onto something great. I hope you'll make the right decision.

• [Elyumina] ... I really don't know what the others did in their rooms. ...Can I still keep the bargain?

• [Rookie] Mm... Sure, why not? If you cooperate with us as best as you can, then we can let the minor details slide. Now, let's get down to the business, shall we? Please send him here, Mr. Lazy.

• [Lazy] ...

• [Lazy] ... Hey, Hot-blooded Captain over there.

• [Elena Volkova] ... Are you talking to me?

• [Lazy] Then, who else? You're the only captain here. I was just going to ask you to stop glaring, since he's cooperating now.

• [Elena Volkova] Ah... Mm, yes. Rookie did a great job. I didn't know he was so good at persuasion.

• [Lazy] Of course not. You never gave him a chance. But now that you know, let him handle the rest.

• [Elena] Hm...

• [Rookie] What were you guys talking about? He told me everything we need to know. His group was called ^0000CDIllusion^000000, consisting of ^0000Cdformer members of Regenschirm^000000.

• [Rookie] Elyumina doesn't seem to know a lot about his group, though. He had almost zero contact with the company. He received his funds from Illusion in exchange for his research results. That was why he wasn't on the list.

• [Rookie] And beyond this lab site is ^0000CDBarmund's mansion^000000, which used to be hidden. Illusion was created after the mansion's discovery, to monopolize on the knowledge available inside the place.

• [Rookie] Elyumina doesn't know how the mansion looks like on the inside because she chose to stay behind the others who entered the mansion, to protect his research data.

• [Rookie] Through the [waterway]sp_cor,255,285,0,101,0 on the far right side of the fence. We need more information and also have to round up the researchers. Why don't we all go together? Captain? Adventurer?
