Bronya: In here

Bronya uses the bio-chip again to gain access to one of the rooms in the apartment building.

Once they open the door, what they are met with is something none of them would've expected.

In the center of the room, a small girl sat slumped on the floor, appearing unconscious. A tangled mess of cables and wires extended from the back of the girl's head, connecting to the piles of computers behind her.

Theresa: What in the...?

Suddenly, the girl seems to have woken up as she raises her head and locks her gaze on them.

Girl: Intruder alert...

Theresa: W-Wait! We're not the bad guys!

Girl: Not the bad guys? You dismantled all security drones that were assigned to one's security

Mei: We're his business partners. S-See? He even gave us a bio-chip

She points towards the small device Bronya is holding and the girl stares at it for a moment.

Girl: I see. Welcome, guests

Miraculously, the girl accepts Mei's quickly put-together lie and appears to have dropped any suspicions as they released a silent sigh of relief.

Theresa: Let's start looking for the intel

Bronya: Harasho

Bronya then went to one of the computers and started work on it.

Girl: That is not allowed for anyone but master

The girl warns, but Bronya only ignores her and starts to tap into the database. A holographic screen pops up in front of her, displaying lines upon lines of codes.

As she went through the contents of the database, it dawned on her that there was a serious problem.

Bronya: This is quite peculiar...

Theresa: Is there a problem?

Bronya: The vastness of this data archive... Uncategorized, unlabeled, unindexed... The Gray Serpent saved only raw data

Mei: And that means...?

Bronya: Imagine a massive library filled with books, but none of them are labelled, and all of them are scattered around the floor in a mess

Akiri: Then the intel regarding Kiana...

Bronya: Maybe it exists, but the Bronya would require several days for data mining

Mei: Is there anything else we can do?

Bronya: This intel dealer did not filter or organise his data. This is abnormal. Perhaps he intended this as a security measure?
