NokiaSorry for the delay! Okay, Kyoko, let's start the strategy meeting!
KyokoThere's still one important person who isn't here yet.
NokiaAn important person? Who besides me...?
NokiaGwuh? You can't possibly mean?
ArataUgh.
ArataI came 'cause I heard there was gonna be a strategy meeting to talk about how to get rid of Kishibe, but I see our wild one is here, too.
NokiaYou're one to talk! Always making things more complicated just because you think you're some kind of legend! You emotionally stunted jerkface!
NokiaYou've always been like this! You up and disappear by yourself at Under Zero! You're no good at fighting as part of a team! Leave us alone!
KyokoSorry, but this strategy depends on all of you.
KyokoI need our wild one and our legendary-yet-stunted boy to work together on this.
ArataI don't care, as long as we can beat Kishibe. Let's get started.
KyokoSo says Arata. Any objections from our wild one?
NokiaHang on just a second! I want to tell everybody something!
KyokoHmm... So that's the whole story behind the Paradise Lost Plan. I see.
ArataDestroy the human world? Seriously? I wasn't expecting it to be that serious...
KyokoHee hee. Now all my theories have been proven. Thank you, wild one.
NokiaDon't thank me. It's Omnimon who deserves all the thanks. And Kyoko, could you knock it off with the
"wild one" thing?
KyokoHeehee... I think it's time to start the meeting for real, now.
KyokoWe have Fact A: Rie Kishibe's objective is to open a hole in the Dimensional Wall, a sort of
"Dimensional Door," if you will.
KyokoFact B: Rie Kishibe has abducted Yuuko Kamishiro.
KyokoThese two facts cannot be unrelated. She must have needed B in order to carry out A.
KyokoAnd A has still yet to be achieved.
KyokoOur strategy must therefore allow us to both successfully rescue Yuuko Kamishiro, as well as to stop all aspects of the Paradise Lost Plan.
Kyoko...stop all aspects of the Paradise Lost Plan.
NokiaArgh! My brain hurts already!
ArataWe can't worry about the rationale for B right now. The plan's too bold as-is.
KyokoAn excellent conjecture, true.
KyokoBut I have some new evidence I'd like to present. It should clear away your doubts.
ArataAs vague as ever! You never change!
KyokoHaving run simulations on the labyrinth locations and the detectable Digital Wave flows...
KyokoI've identified the existence of a large-scale, stable, and regularly-occurring Energy Locus.
Nokia...
KyokoIt is a circular flow of energy that covers all of Tokyo. I've named this circular network the Digital Line.
KyokoSurprisingly, this Energy Locus, which is comprised of Digital Waves, is under human control.
KyokoIn all probability, it is under the control of Kishibe at Kamishiro.
KyokoThe EDEN Spots placed throughout the city also seem to be related to this Energy Locus.
ArataI get it!
ArataThat network in Shinjuku where Player jumped was part of it!
Player!!!
Nokia...
ArataThis is the secret behind the EDEN Spots. So they're pathways, sort of like lymph nodes?
KyokoThat's right. This network of lymph node-like structures resembles ley lines, conduits of supernatural energy known from antiquity.
KyokoA digital version of an energy line... Kishibe must have spent a long time putting this Digital Line together.
KyokoThe structure that cycles the Digital Waves seems to be a kind of "energy reactor."
KyokoThe structure is truly well-constructed. It stores, excites, amplifies, and releases energy.
KyokoWhen the massive amount of energy stored in the Digital Line is released as a Digital Wave, I believe this door will open.
KyokoGiven how amplified I estimate this energy to be, I feel it's safe to say that the Paradise Lost Plan could be brought into fruition at any time.
Nokia...
KyokoFurthermore, there's a place right now where the energy flow is changing drastically...
KyokoTracing that flow back, we arrive at Roppongi.
KyokoBeneath Roppongi is a Kamishiro research facility. It's called the "Roppongi Underground Center."
KyokoVery dry, no? The name makes you think it's a government-related facility.
Player!!!
KyokoYes. The underpass you investigated before. This is that "certain facility" that was back there.
KyokoUpon analysis of your log data, the coordinates match where you left Yuuko. That's got to be the nerve center where this is all based out of.
ArataIf we attack there, we get Yuuko. That's one victory, but how do we stop Kishibe's plan?
ArataIf B is needed to achieve A, then when B occurs, if condition C is needed to achieve A, then B will...
NokiaStop, stop! My brain totally can't take any more!
NokiaJust shut up, Arata, you geek. Geeky Arata. We'll call you "Geeta" for short!
ArataWhat?!
KyokoHmph. It's okay, Geeta.
KyokoWe've got to interfere with her control of the Digital Waves itself.
KyokoAs I explained, the Digital Line is an artificial construct for controlling Digital Wave flow.
KyokoThat control occurs via various terminals, including the EDEN Spots, for its functions.
KyokoIn other words, if we could jam them...
ArataThat's it! You're talking about an analog method! In other words, knock out the power, right?!
KyokoExactly. But they must be aware of their own vulnerabilities, and likely have backup power supplies already prepared.
KyokoTherefore, we're going to need to strike in multiple places at once, or our whole plan comes apart.
NokiaSo we get a lot of people, and turn the power off?
ArataYou'd plunge all of Tokyo into a blackout. Leave this to me, Kyoko.
NokiaHang on... all of Tokyo? But who?!
ArataWhat do you mean? I'm a hacker, right? And hackers can only do one thing, right?
ArataGather all my buds, and then we all hack into power supply systems throughout the city... all at once!
ArataWe'll play nice. It'll take some time, but we'll be able to keep the range of effect to a bare minimum.
KyokoI see. I had been thinking of asking you to hack into the various EDEN Spots here and there...
KyokoAssuming as we should that Kishibe is full of lies, we should strike at the weak points first.
Kyoko"Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness," as the saying goes.
ArataExcellent! Sun Tzu! "Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness!"
NokiaO-kay then... I don't get it, but I get it! It's like I don't got it, but I got it!
NokiaIf Arata's doing that, then we're going for Yuuko! Right, Player?
KyokoHmph, so good of you to grasp that so quickly.
KyokoYou should head to the Roppongi Underground Center right now, from the underpass.
KyokoPlayer knows the way, I believe.
ArataThen we start on our objectives simultaneously. I'll leave Yuuko to you guys.
NokiaOkay! We're totally going to rescue Yuuko! And put a stop to the Parachute Cord Plan!
Player!!!
