Hooded Hacker*whew* We made it somehow. Those things freak me out whenever I see them in Kowloon.
Hooded HackerI've been attacked by them before. ...You'd better stay alert.
Hooded HackerAccording to a Kamishiro researcher named Suedou, those things have something to do with the phenomenon occurring in the real world.
Player!!!
Hooded HackerOh, you know that fossil too, do you?
Hooded HackerHe sure does get around... "You can't keep a good scientist down," huh?
Player!!!
Hooded HackerWhoa!!!
Ryuji...You're as sloppy as ever, aren't you.
Hooded Hacker...Ryuji!
Hooded Hacker...Sorry. You saved my bacon.
RyujiDon't get it twisted. I didn't come to save you.
RyujiAnd what're you twiddling your thumbs for? Find Yuugo and Fei yet?
White-Clothed Hacker BoyThat was pretty dangerous there. ...Are you hurt anywhere?
Hooded Hacker...Yuugo?
Player...!
Bun-Headed HackerI wondered who it might be, and look who it is.
Bun-Headed HackerHey, Ryuji...you've been meeting that Arata Sanada quite a bit lately, huh?
Player?!
ArataAh c'mon, don't give it away, Fei.
Arata...Ah, shoot, the jig is up. I'm Arata Sanada. Nice to meet ya, kid.
YuugoYou're the newbie that just joined Hudie?
Yuugo...
Player...
Yuugo...
Player...?
Yuugo...I see, you've got good eyes.
YuugoPlus, it seems our..."interests" are aligned.
Player???
YuugoYou came all the way here just to introduce him?
RyujiNo, I have a report for you. Yuugo, Jimmy KEN has broken off from Zaxon.
Yuugo...Sure, I know. Fei and I were just looking into the issue.
YuugoThat account raiding Mephisto did... It looks like the Demons are involved somehow.
YuugoI'm guessing they raided accounts to raise funds to expand the team's influence in one fell swoop.
RyujiYou're quick on the uptake.
YuugoI want you to leave this matter to us.
YuugoIf we show any weakness here, it'll set a bad example to the other hacker teams. We'll maintain EDEN's order with our own hands.
Ryuji...
Arata...You can't protect EDEN through force alone.
ArataIf someone wants to defect, we can't just let them go. Not just anyone can determine right and wrong.
YuugoIf we let this pass, who'll prevent hackers from running wild?
YuugoIt's not like everyone can control themselves with conviction like you all once did.
YuugoI believe in the necessity of defined rules, no matter where you are.
ArataAll I'm saying is that hackers aren't the type of people to be tied down by anyone.
ArataTo begin with, the way you guys do things is--
RyujiShut up, Sanada.
ArataRyuji! You understand me, don't you?! After all, we're--
Ryuji"We" are not anything. You ran away, you don't get to talk about EDEN's hackers.
Arata...Yeah, you're right. ...Do what you want.
Yuugo...
YuugoI'm sorry we can't see eye-to-eye on this. There aren't many hackers of his caliber out there.
Ryuji...I'm done talking about him.
RyujiYuugo, Player got caught up in the Demons' business.
RyujiHe was ordered to get intel on Zaxon by Jimmy KEN.
YuugoHim? Ha ha, little did he know he was asking a member of Hudie to spy for him!
YuugoPerfect. Then let's have him pretend to spy on Zaxon.
Player?!
YuugoI'm asking you to be a double agent. I want you to contact us if the Demons make any moves.
Fei...Uh, this guy's only just become a hacker, Yuugo.
YuugoNot a problem.
YuugoWhat's the point in a spy whose face everyone knows in EDEN? Plus he's a new recruit for Hudie, so I'm sure I can trust him.
Fei...Well if you insist, Yuugo.
FeiYou'd best do your job right, kiddo.
YuugoYou can come and go as you please in this forum.
YuugoFrom today on, you're one of Zaxon's hackers.
YuugoA hacker's mettle can be seen in how skillfully he uses Digimon programs.
YuugoBecause protecting the order of EDEN is a hacker's first duty.
YuugoI pray your actions are befitting of a guardian.
Player...!
KI'm a guardian of EDEN.
Player...
YuugoWhat? Do I happen to know a hacker who calls himself K?
YuugoNope, never heard of him? How about you, Fei?
FeiCan't say it rings a bell.
FeiStill, it's not like we know each and every hacker under us.
YuugoWhy do you ask?
RyujiHe's the reason this guy's wrapped up in all this. It's possible he's a Demon hacker...
RyujiPlease let us know if you hear anything about him.
YuugoYou got it. You're always doing good work for us, after all.
Yuugo...So you're the victim of a bad hacker yourself.
YuugoThen I shouldn't have to explain anything to you.
YuugoYou know well enough how much suffering hackers running amok bring to those living in EDEN.
Yuugo...Just as Arata Sanada says, I also think hackers must be fundamentally free.
YuugoBut "freedom" has many interpretations. Everyone has to find the answer for themselves.
YuugoI look forward to seeing what kind of hacker you end up becoming.
YuugoLooks like we'll have a big job for you pretty soon. I'll give you a call.
RyujiThat guy sure does love to talk...
Ryuji...So you heard about Jude from Arata, did you?
RyujiDon't believe a word he says. He... He ran off without protecting his team.
Player...
Ryuji...You can't protect anything without strength.
