NokiaNo... This...isn't supposed to happen...

Male StudentLooking for your friend? If they're not here, did you try looking in the community area?

Male StudentIt's an open area just like the entrance, so you can get there from any terminal.

File 001: EDEN Syndrome

A mysterious illness whereby people suddenly fall into comas while connected to the EDEN network.

Originally, the term was given to the incessant vomiting and other symptoms common to those unused to spending time in the Digital World.

But now, EDEN Syndrome is used to describe the more serious malady of inexplicable loss of consciousness while connected to the EDEN Network.

After extended time in a coma, the body weakens, becoming more susceptible to complications. In the worst cases, this has led to death.

File 002: Treatments for EDEN Syndrome

No effective treatment has been found for EDEN Syndrome. Research continues into treatments and causes of this unexplained illness.

File 003: Association with Kamishiro Enterprises

EDEN is a large-scale digital space operated by Kamishiro Enterprises.

Deeply affiliated with governmental agencies, EDEN's business areas are expanding quickly.

Immediate improvements and user training must be provided to warn users against long login times.

Furthermore, the EDEN interface uses Kamishiro Enterprises' proprietary technology, making future research sharing problematic.

NokiaLalalalaaaa! The saaad hummingbiiird! Hm? That's the newest hit Jimiken single! You should pick it up!

PlayerThat should be enough saying hi. Let's get back to the office.

RyotaIt's kinda cool having a detective as a buddy!

Sakura...

PlayerGuess everything worked out! Time to report back.

NokiaGuess he's not on level one... Well, no problem! We'll just keep going!

NokiaSo...this is Kowloon level two? Seems like the security level is higher here... I'm counting on you, okay?

NokiaNot on level two either? Then...nothing else to do but level three... Yay.

PlayerIt's happening on the other side of that crowd... Let's go!

SuedouAs I've explained, a "Digital Wave" is energy used for transmitting digital information...

SuedouWe call it a wave, though in truth it is unknown whether waves or particles are transmitted. There is no way to confirm it visually, after all.

SuedouIf we really could see a Digital Wave, I wonder what it would look like... Heheh...

SuedouThere is a clear correlation between the white boy and the Eaters. Perhaps we should even consider the boy a "harbinger" of the Eaters.

SuedouThe full implications of this are unclear, but what cannot be questioned is that they are both digital entities. Data programmed using 0s and 1s.

SuedouAnd if so...a breakthrough shouldn't be far off. All we need is to analyze the data.

SuedouAh, you've heard of Nikola Tesla, I trust? He was as great a scientist as Edison.

SuedouBeyond breakthroughs in AC power, heat conduction, and fluorescent light, he delved into transmitting EM waves wirelessly... We all know of Tesla Coils.

SuedouTransmission of solid matter was tested--and proven--through the Philadelphia Experiment. ...Assuming it wasn't a hoax, at least.

SuedouHowever! If the high voltage generated in the experiment truly was able to create a rift in space-time, then such a result is a possibility!

SuedouAnd today, another uncanny phenomenon unfolds right before our eyes... Yes, those experimental results and this phenomenon are quite similar.

SuedouInvestigating that connection could be another interesting approach... Yes, this has all become quite intriguing! Hehe...

K-Cafe OwnerBuying more beans already? I suppose with more employees, the supply is used up that much faster.

K-Cafe OwnerCome to think of it, when you head back, why don't you buy some takoyaki from the third floor to go with your coffee?

K-Cafe OwnerOnly a child does no more than what they're asked. Go above and beyond and you'll seem quite clever.

Chika...I've nothing else to say to you.

Player...Better head back to the office.

YuukoWe haven't much time to waste. Please hurry.

Yuuko--Oh, Player... This is no time for fooling around, I need you to hurry.

Player......... Marippe... She's alive, but unresponsive...

Player......... She's alive, but unresponsive...

Player......... She's alive, but unresponsive...

SuedouIndeed, the occurrence of Digital Shifts is related to the density of the Digital Wave.

SuedouWhen a "catalyst" is applied to locations where the Digital Wave is at its most dense, it digitally transitions, or "shifts."

SuedouThus, the term "Digital Shift."

SuedouYou know of the "immune system," yes? The body treats germs as "outsiders," fiercely resisting them. This makes external interference difficult.

SuedouThus, we find it takes a very long time for genes to change... Resistance acts as a throttle on the speed at which something can evolve.

Suedou...But I digress. What this means is that thanks to the human body's obstinacy, we see resistance even in abnormal environments such as this.

SuedouBut the cause of these people's conditions is a different matter. You see, when a soul is without a body...well, they just aren't very sturdy.

Gainfully Employed BuyerYou must forgive me, valued customer. I didn't know you were an acquaintance of Mr. Matayoshi! If only you had mentioned that from the start!

PlayerSomeplace Sakura would be likely to go... Well, she seems to go to Nakano a lot. It's as a good place to start as any!

NokiaHmm? You want to talk about Sakura's house?

PlayerFirst of all, better report back to the office.

PlayerBetter keep asking around Nakano.

Player...Fainted, with a satisfied grin.

PlayerArata said to meet him in Shinjuku... I hope he hasn't been waiting too long.

PlayerNokia said to meet her in Kowloon... If I'm late, she'll probably get mad again...

PlayerBetter report back to the office.

NokiaAwwwriiight! I'm off to get me some Tamers! Step one: raiding the Zaxon and Demon hideouts!!!

NokiaThe Demons broke up, so they don't have anything better to do. And I bet there're some freelance Tamers in the Zaxon forum, too! Time to roll out!

NokiaHellooo! You! Yes, you, what're you doing?

NokiaI'm starting a new hacker team! I just know you're interested, right?

Stray HackerA new hacker team? Why?

NokiaTo become closer to Digimon! And to stop evil hackers! That's why I'm forming--the Rebels!

Stray HackerHuh... Sounds interesting. Fine, I'll help you.

NokiaReally? Yesss!!! Ally count--ding!--plus one! This's the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Stray HackerSome of the guys I hang out with might be interested, too. You should ask around.

NokiaOkay, buddy, I like the cut of your jib. What say you join us?

NokiaWe're gathering people to form a hacker group!

Stray HackerMaking a hacker group, eh? That's a big accomplishment.

Stray HackerBut rather than assume you're just as accomplished, I'll see for myself just how strong you are.

Stray HackerHm, so you're more than just talk. Okay, I'll tag along. Nice to meet you, Leader.

NokiaSame to you! Let's get even stronger together!

Stray HackerYou're pretty strong as it is.

Stray HackerTrying to recruit hackers, huh? Sounds like what the Demons were doing.

NokiaNo way! Don't lump me in with those jerks, this is completely different!!!

NokiaI mean, for starters, that went like that because of that! And then what else could you do but this, geez! Get it!?

Stray HackerNot one bit. Hey, you explain.

It's the same. You get paid! Our aims are different.

Stray HackerHuh? ...Pretty ballsy. Now I'm interested.

Stray HackerBut not so interested as to get mixed up in criminal acts, sorry.

NokiaUgh, stop talking nonsense and explain it right!

Stray HackerFor real!? Does it pay more than third shift at the convenience store?

Stray Hacker...You've gotta be kidding me. Only 650 yen an hour? Quit wasting my time.

NokiaHey! Quit it with the money talk! Rebellions don't have anything to do with the economy! The bonds we have are of friendship!

NokiaUgh, stop talking nonsense and explain it right!

Stray HackerHuh... That's actually kind of cool.

Stray HackerIn that case, maybe I should be asking you if you'll take me as an ally...Leader.

NokiaNo prob! See, since I gave you such a good explanation, it's pretty easy to understand!

Stray HackerLet's make this a great team.

Stray HackerA Tamer group? Sounds like a pretty weird team.

Stray HackerI don't have any strong feelings either way about joining, but...wonder what my buddy would think.

NokiaWell, I think you and your friend should both join! Where are they?

Stray HackerUhh, probably somewhere around here...

NokiaGot it! I'm gonna go ask them, then! C'mon, Player!

NokiaHeeheehee... If this all goes well, I get two members in one fell swoop! Yeah, I rock at this!

Stray HackerOh, so my buddy joined your team? Then sure, I'll join, too.

Stray HackerAnd you can save the copycat comments, I've already heard 'em all.

NokiaI think that's enough members for now. I mean, look at us, we look like a proper team! Heck yeah, Operation: Get Members--great success!

PlayerLet's continue on. Security should be around here somewhere!

Kamishiro EmployeeReturning to the entrance, yes?

ArataThis sky looks like the real thing! Kamishiro's tech is amazing! (...What is going on, I said hurry up!)

Office LadyExcuse me, but you're being a nuisance to the other patrons... Please be quiet in the hall.

PeteHey, I was able to come to the real world too! I know it's 'cause bad stuff is happening, but... it's so nice to be here with Kyoko and everyone!

PeteI wonder where Kyoko went. It's a little lonely... But since she's gone, I'll help you instead!

PeteKyoko came back, I'm so glad! It's just not the Kuremi Detective Agency without her!

NokiaI'll see what I can find in the real world. You check EDEN to find this little one's friends!

MatayoshiSorry for always coming to you with this stuff. But when it comes down to it, this is just too much for us to handle.

MatayoshiSeems like all we can do is depend on you guys. ...Maybe it's time I retired after all.

DateWhat's all this whiny navel-gazing, Detective!? You've got work to do!

DateBeing mousy like this isn't your style, Detective! 'Sides, you said you'd take care of me 'til I got hitched, and I'm not letting you skip out early!

MatayoshiI said nothing of the sort. Don't try to forge testimony, Detective. And working 'til someone marries you...so I get to retire when I'm 100?

DateWhatever works. ...Hey, by then, I'll be the one taking care of you, ha ha ha!

MatayoshiHah! Seems every cloud does have a silver lining.

PlayerMagnamon, one of the Royal Knights, is now an ally. Better go report this to the office.

GankoomonHackmon headed to the museum alone? ...Player, take care of my student.

AlphamonI'll take you back to the office, if you're ready. Shall we return and make preparations?

AlphamonThink well on whether you've things left to do.

AlphamonLet us return to our detective agency, then.

NokiaAnytime you wanna head out, me and Omnimon are ready!

NokiaThis is important! Have you got your tissues? Teeth brushed? Gone to the bathroom? You don't wanna have to go in the heat of the moment!

Arata...Finally, we're almost there. It's been a helluva roundabout route, but it was worth it.

ArataLet's go. We'll meet again after... all of us are together.

YuukoAll this time, I've been trying to do something about EDEN on my own. But each time I tried, my methods were off...

YuukoBut this time...everything's just right.

OmnimonHave you done everything you wanted to do? (Yes/No)

OmnimonWe don't have much time, but preparations are important. Go finish up what you need to do.

OmnimonAlphamon is right.

OmnimonI've grown very fond of your world. I don't want to leave with any regrets.

OmnimonOnce you are ready, just let me know. I'll be waiting here.

OmnimonAre you ready to travel to his land? You look as though there's something you've forgotten.

OmnimonThink it over well. Regrets will only dull your focus in battle.

Gallantmon...I've been hesitant to approach you. But as you can see, I was separated from the boy and returned to my own body.

GallantmonI suppose that was ancillary to your plan to save the boy... I owe you my thanks, nonetheless.

GallantmonBut I stand behind my actions. As does he.

GallantmonI'm afraid we have no intention of reconciling. That said, I hope to see the conclusion you've chosen through to the end.

GallantmonSadly, with the damage I've taken, I can offer no further help. Please...the futures of both the digital and the human worlds are depending on you.

Suedou...Oh my. You'd like to return to Tokyo?

SuedouTsk, I suppose it cannot be helped... Do keep in mind that we have limited time.

SuedouThen, let's head for the Mother Eater. Yuugo has been waiting for some time.

OmnimonAre you ready to enter the Digital World?

ArataHey, you know this isn't finished. You're not giving up now that we've come this far, are you?
