"Let me explain the plan this time. I will have the Mecha Soldiers do their best to cause chaos in the factory and then we'll sneak in and search for the Yellow Crystals and try to learn more about the enemy."

"However, the Bugs are already accustomed to the smell of our soldiers. We would be immediately suppressed the second we entered the factory." Louis looks at you with hesitation: "We need a new face."

You actively say that you'd be happy to take on the investigation work.

"Thank you!" Louis lets out a sigh of relief. "Well then I'll leave it up to you."

"How are things with the investigation? Did the Mecha Soldiers successfully create enough chaos?" Louis asks anxiously.

"We don't know enough about the enemy and this could end up being a mortal disadvantage for us. I don't know how much longer we can withstand back-and-forth warfare. Therefore we'd like to get enough information as possible before engaging in war."

"I never would have thought that this would involve Beastmen." Louis ponders this for a while after hearing your report.

"Yellow Crystals and the research center are not easy things to move. There must be some reason they're putting in all this effort."

"With regards to this, I will ask Chairman Nicholas, but besides the Yellow Crystals and research center what else is happening that we don't know about?..."

"Also, the number of Mecha Soldiers that we lost in this operation is three times more than what I anticipated." Louis puts a familiar chip into the player. "In order to figure out the reason, I've pulled the footage chip from one of the surviving Mecha Soldiers. I want to show it to you."

He presses the play button.
