Zwei-2 — Episode 2 (Stage: 20002)Location: Zwei Association - Southern Branch, Section 6Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)We have a lineup of the search team. And you two are in, San, Julia.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora1"San(Streetlight Operator)I’m finally heading back to the Library.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_san1"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Yeah. Let’s go retrieve the books of Mars and Lulu, and come back safely.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_julia1"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Don’t forget. While our main objective has been decided as retrieving the books of Mars and Lulu thanks to the coincidence of interests between San and the Association, we should still try to secure as much information as possible. Meaning we should collect as many books as we can.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora2"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Okay. I’ll keep that in mind.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_julia2"San(Streetlight Operator)I know it’s a silly question to ask, but why is Zwei, an Association specializing in peacekeeping and security, deciding to set up a search team of all things to enter the Library?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_san2"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Why did you come begging to us in the first place if you knew all that?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora3"San(Streetlight Operator)That’s… That’s because this was the only place I could count on.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_san3"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)What about your younger brother?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora4"San(Streetlight Operator)My brother is… Never mind. Once again, I’m sorry for the trouble, and thanks again for the help.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_san4"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)San…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_julia3"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Hm hmm. Anyway, since you’re running an affiliate Office, I suppose it’s okay to tell you this.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora5"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)The Distortion Phenomenon, classified as an Urban Nightmare. I’m sure you’ve at least heard of it even if you haven’t seen it yourself, right?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora6"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)It’s an anomaly that has been happening throughout the City ever since the White Nights and Dark Days.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora7"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)The frequency may be low, but people are turning into monsters at random, and each individual occurrence is a huge pain to deal with.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora8"San(Streetlight Operator)Yeah, I know. ‘The Pianist’, the first reported case of this phenomenon… It ended up killing 80% of District 9’s population.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_san5"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)I heard that it was so sudden, the Hana Association had to dispatch one of the ‘Colors’ immediately after realizing the severity of the situation.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_julia4"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)That’s right. Yet we still don’t have any clues to track down the cause of this phenomenon.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora9"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)The most we have is the sudden disappearance of L Corp, and the ‘White Nights and Dark Days’ whose starting point was in the corporation’s Nest.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora10"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Zwei suspects that the Library may be one of the keys to understanding the Distortion Phenomenon. Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora11"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)A coworker told me a similar story. Said a resident in the area they were peacekeeping was suddenly distorted and transformed into a four-legged beast, even though there weren’t any signs of danger or anomaly nearby.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_julia5"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Thankfully, they managed to take care of that creature before the death toll could hit two digits.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_julia6"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)And I also heard that a restaurant clerk turned into a… man-eating sandwich monster? Something like that one time.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_julia7"San(Streetlight Operator)I think I understand now. So the Distortion Phenomenon is a clear and apparent threat to Zwei’s peacekeeping activities, and they expect the Library to hold a clue for resolving it.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_san6"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)You got that right. Fortunately, there haven’t been any cases of the phenomenon that’s nearly as devastating as ‘The Pianist’ so far.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora12"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)It looks like Zwei is going to keep an eye out for the Library for a while. Though there are several other suspects they need to investigate as well, so we won’t be getting any high-grade Fixers.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora13"San(Streetlight Operator)This is more than enough help. Thanks, Isadora.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_san7"Isadora(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)I-I said I’m just doing my job. It’s not like I’m doing you a favor or anything. Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_isadora14"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Sure you are! You have my thanks as well, Isadora.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_julia8"San(Streetlight Operator)Let’s get to it.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_san8"Location: Inside the LibraryRoland(Servant)Is that really true?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_roland1"Angela(Library Director)What is?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_angela1"Roland(Servant)The things they said about the Library. Is this place really all connected to stuff like ‘White Nights and Dark Days’, L Corp, and the Distortion Phenomenon?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_roland2"Roland(Servant)I’m frankly not even sure where we are in the City, though.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_roland3"Angela(Library Director)What if I said it is?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_angela2"Roland(Servant)If you said it is… I’m not sure I get what you mean.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_roland4"Roland(Servant)It’s extremely rare for an incident to encompass the City like the White Nights and Dark Days did.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_roland5"Roland(Servant)There have been some cases of Wings falling apart on their own, but those only affected their own Nests at most. L Corp. was something else entirely.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_roland6"Roland(Servant)It’s like the whole City fell asleep for a week.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_roland7"Angela(Library Director)Let’s say that the Library really is related to the White Nights and Dark Days. What does that change?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_angela3"Roland(Servant)Nothing, I guess. My work is still gonna be the same…Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_roland8"Angela(Library Director)…… Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_angela4"Location: Library EntranceJulia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)So this is the Library. The transportation method is almost like a Singularity.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_julia9"San(Streetlight Operator)…Yeah. The director of the Library will soon come and greet us.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_san9"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)Angela… was it?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_julia10"Angela(Library Director)Greetings, dear guests. I am Angela, the director and librarian of my role’s namesake.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_angela5"Angela(Library Director)Though it appears that you already know who I am.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_angela6"San(Streetlight Operator)We’re here to take back the books of Mars and Lulu.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_san10"Angela(Library Director)They are here indeed.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_angela7"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)We can get the books we want, or die and turn into books ourselves, right?Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_julia11"Angela(Library Director)That is correct. As it is written on the invitation.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_angela8"Julia(Zwei S. Section 6 Fixer)It’s like I’m talking to a wall. She’s so robotic.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_julia12"Angela(Library Director)…May you find your book in this place.Audio: "ch3_Zwei_ep2_angela9"
