ErikaAh...! There he is!

Suedou...What's this? How did you get in here? Once again we meet in a strange place.

SuedouIf you managed to get past the security, you must be some very talented hackers.

ErikaWe came here to ask you something.

Suedou...Me?

ErikaBut before that, I want to make sure about one thing...

ErikaWhat are you doing here anyway? ...Are you partners with Rie Kishibe?

SuedouOh my... So you know about Ms. Kishibe? You can't underestimate hackers these days.

SuedouPartners? Well... I wouldn't say that. I suppose you could say we're using the same methods to achieve different ends.

Suedou...But I'm the one that formulated the behavioral theory for the Eater she used.

SuedouSo I suppose in that sense you could say we're partners.

Player...!

SuedouOh, are you angry about something?

SuedouUnfortunately, I'm not very good at fighting. I'd prefer to deal with this peacefully...

ErikaIf you're not directly helping her, it's fine... Just tell us what you know.

SuedouOh? So what do you want to know?

ErikaEDEN Syndrome. Tell me everything.

ErikaMy friend has EDEN Syndrome. I want to help him.

Suedou...Hmm. So you came all the way here to ask that?

SuedouYou determined my location and took down the power plant security just for that?

Erika...

SuedouHe...Ha ha ha! Excellent! You had a purpose and you acted on it! I truly admire you!

SuedouCuriosity and inquisitiveness are the driving force behind human evolution. Nothing is more vital.

Suedou...All right, I'll give you these research papers.

ErikaThis...is your Eater thesis?!

Player?!

Suedou...If you can decode it, you can gain access to a
"certain network."

SuedouYou'll be able to see the same things I see and hear the same things I hear.

SuedouActually, I haven't finished my analysis of this either. I was just preparing to try out various different approaches.

SuedouThe possibilities of "this" are infinite but my time is limited... I would truly appreciate your assistance.

SuedouPlease analyze it with your own unique abilities and then begin your coding.

SuedouRather than constructing it myself...

Suedou...with a young hacker's flexible and bold ideas, a far more meaningful thing may be born. Hee hee.

Player...

WormmonYikes... He's kinda scary... What you call a "mad scientist," right?

SuedouPeople call me that, but I don't appreciate it.

SuedouAnyway, by searching through that, you may learn what you need to know about EDEN Syndrome.

ErikaSo I can look at it if I want? Pretty generous of you, isn't it?

SuedouKnowledge should be shared with those who seek it.

Erika...Why are you trying to control Eaters, anyway?

SuedouCall it mere..."inquisitiveness."

SuedouWhoa! Amazing!

SuedouA torrent of massive Digital Waves... to create oscillation in the virtual world strong enough to be detected by us...

Suedou...It seems we did well, Ms. Kishibe.

ErikaWhat's that...?! Digimon from the sky...?!

SuedouThe Dimensional Door has been unlocked. The physical laws of this world have finally been destroyed... Hee hee hee!

Player...?!

WormmonYou two! You've got to hurry to the access point!

ArataSorry I'm late! Almost ready to go! Are you at the access point?!

ArataHurry up already! ...I'd like to make a shortcut for ya, but I'm too busy here!

SuedouOh my! It looks like you've got your hands full removing traces of the intrusion.

SuedouLet me help out as my way of apologizing for putting you to such trouble.

Player?!

SuedouThis is a back door to the access point. You can get there quickly this way.

ErikaBut why? ...Why are you helping us?

SuedouI told you, didn't I? My goals and Kishibe's goals are different.

SuedouWhatever you do from here on... ...it will have no effect on my own plans.

SuedouBesides... If I can help lessen your pain, your sadness even a little, it will all be worth it.

Erika...!

SuedouWell then, good luck!

ErikaWait! There's still something I want to ask!

WormmonErika! We've got to hurry!

Erika...!
