"I made the chip with the virus...but I had no intention of framing Klaus. You must believe me!" Ixus shakes his head emphatically.

"I just followed orders to develop a virus chip to be planted in Mecha Bugs, causing them to attack and destroy each other." I have no idea why that chip was planted in one of our own Mecha Soldiers! I swear to you, it wasn't me!"

You look at Ixus trembling with emotion. You know instinctively that he's telling you the truth.

In that case, is it possible that...

"You turn things over in your mind for quite some time. Eh? All of the technicians should be attending the hearing." Louis seems to be relaxed.

You take the virus chip out once again, but Louis doesn't appear to show any signs of nervousness.

"Oh, a chip right?" He glances at the chip, and looks like he hasn't a care in the world.

You tell him about Terry's report, Nicholas' evaluation and Ixus' confession.

"It sounds open and shut to me. Obviously it's Ixus that's responsible. Louis says coldly.

"But Ixus wasn't the one who installed the chip. It was someone else who wanted to frame the Division Head." You stare at Louis and say pointedly.

Really? You can't prove a thing." Louis' eyes bore into you.

"I'll retract the charges against Klaus, but then it's got nothing to do with an outsider like you."

"Of course, I trust from now on there won't be any more "mishaps". Otherwise, people will no doubt assume that someone is being deliberately framed!" You answer back coldly.

"Right, thanks for your trouble." Says Louis, clenching his fists and furious with rage.
