No. 057 Future Town Renya 未来の郷登蓮也
A Few More Weeks Earlier | UFO Mainframe
Renya Gouto:
That should do it for preparations.
Now. Let's see if the biometric authentication works…
△Compatibility
Renya Gouto:
This refers to the humans who can control the UFO's mainframe.
Those compatible have nanomachines implanted in their bodies.
×Start Authentication
Renya Gouto:
Did it go through?
×Check Authentication
Renya Gouto:
※※※※※※※
Looks like that got me past the initial barrier, at least…
Now. With Ms. Morimura's ID…
I should be able to get into her logs.

Renya Gouto:
…Found it.
One of the logs she left behind…
△Experiment Log→Use
Chihiro Morimura:
Today’s date is March 2nd, 2100…
Well, guess there's no point putting a date to these logs.
We've got probably four years left until the invasion begins.
I ran an experiment on my clone.
I wanted to see if I could make her more compatible.
I have more than enough data stored in Sector 0.
She would've had all my memories.
However, I could not establish compatibility in the clone.
…No more than I could in myself.
Maybe… there really is no way we can survive this.
…
Not even Ida-kun knows about this experiment.
I've kept this attempt secret from everyone.
The memories I implanted in the clone have been sealed.
I left her in 1940, under the Miura family's care.
She'll be able to grow up as her own person. Someone separate from me…
Until they invade, at least.
△Experiment Log
Renya Gouto:
That methodology sounds familiar.
Was she basing this project off of those memory-overwriting crime reports?
All in an effort to achieve compatibility…?
So compatibility isn't just a matter of differences in the nanomachines.
×Video Playback
Renya Gouto:
…there's more.
This file looks like the last thing recorded…
△Final Log→Use
Chihiro Morimura:
…Ida-kun didn't make it back either.
The remaining Sentinels are infected. No good to us.
…We're running out of options.
We'll have to resort to Operation Aegis…
If we go that route…
…we'll be risking the future of humanity itself.
How do I make the call on a decision like that…?
But…
I don't know how else he and I can survive this.
This is my only chance.
△Operation Aegis
Renya Gouto:
Ever since the battle that ended with the Sentinel infected…
Ms. Morimura has been pushing this operation as one of its fiercest supporters.
△Final Log
Renya Gouto:
The final log that Chihiro Morimura left on the UFO.
She speaks at length on Operation Aegis.
Her goal is that “he” and she would ultimately survive...
Even at the cost of humanity's future.
…The question is, who is “he”?
Video Playback
Renya Gouto:
…?
That's… puzzling.
There's log registered under my name.
As far as I know, I've never recorded anything like this…
△Gouto's Log→Use
Renya Gouto:
Renya Gouto Speaking.
Did you confirm receipt of payment?
Then I sure you can see to the details.
Am I clear? I want her dead. Any means necessary.
Execute her.
And stop the project.
…that's not my problem. It's in your hands now.
Do you realize what'll happen if her project gets approved?
It could ruin everything we've worked for.
…You know what must be done.
Kill Chihiro Morimura.
Renya Gouto:
…
Was that really me?
That man was a Shikishima executive from the year 2188.
Is that supposed to be my future?
…
…Seems like a private communications log.
The other person on the line wasn't recorded.
But it's clear enough what they're talking about.
That was an assassination order on Chihiro Morimura.
Which… I seem to have called in.
