[Audio Log Excerpt 1]

Recorder A
Wow... Is this a backup left over from after "that incident"?

Recorder B
Indeed. For some reason, it's in read-only mode and the data can't be read directly either.

Recorder A
That's why the Professor equipped us with compiling tools, right... Is the data on this desk really such a mess?

Recorder B
It's gotten to the point where we need to manually proofread it, what do you think...

Recorder A
But none of the data from back then was left behind, what useful information can we find?

Recorder B
There should be a few fragments remaining that we can try to restore. Let's start with those and decide again once we see how it goes.

Recorder A
Uwah... One look and I can tell that it's worse than I expected... I don't need permission to see this, right?

Recorder B
Well, we've got to proofread it, right... I'll start from this Sector, then.

Mysterious Agent
...Is this Rossum? It doesn't feel suitable to me...

Mysterious Agent
That Persicaria was being lazy and refused to go out with me, saying stuff like "a social butterfly like you will have no problems wherever you go" and so on...

Hannah
Hm? Are you also one of those, um... Irregular Agents?

Mysterious Agent
Huh?

Hannah
Turing, look! I found someone else who's wandering around outside like us!

Turing
Ah? I see, it's true. Did you find a new little friend, Hannah?

Mysterious Agent
Okay, this mom-figure is a little too laid-back, I think. Letting your daughter hang around strangers is dangerous, you know? Be glad that you met me!

Turing
What dangers could Rossum have? Are you a Sanctifier? Faith, is this your friend?

Mysterious Agent
Does this art piece of mine look like something a Sanctifier could produce? Look at these smooth lines, this impeccable beauty!

Mysterious Agent
How about it, want to give it a spin? I specially added a two-person mode to it, you know!

Hannah
Heehee, it looks fun! Not at all like your friends, Faith.

Faith
P-Please don't make things difficult for me... It's not right for Irregular Agents to be running around on the streets in the first place...

Faith
I, I've given you lots of leeway, so please tone it down...

Turing
That's fine, that's fine, didn't Faith say she'd make a decision after observing for a while? Don't worry about all these tiny details!

Turing
Surely a cute and smart girl like Hannah isn't the kind who'll be taken away, right? Don't you think she's super cute too?

Faith
Y-yes, she's very cute, but...

Hannah
Aw,you're the best, Faith~ Come oooonnn, help us out, pleeeeeeease~

Mysterious Agent
I feel like this trio forgot about me... Eh, forget it, I'll just head over to Engima and borrow their database first.

Recorder A
Although all I can see is garbage code, the compiler's still chugging along. It would be great if it could spit out the original text.

Recorder A
I wonder what that section of data just now was all about. It feels like it was recording something amusing.

Recorder B
That was from the Rossum Sector... Did you find any problems with it?

Recorder A
Um... It seems like it was mainly the agent data which was scrambled, the rest of it was fine...

Recorder B
That's in your area of responsibility, right? Did you do anything to it?

Recorder A
No, I swear I didn't! At least, not for this assignment! Things were a little unstable in the past, but not to this extent!

Recorder B
"To this extent"?

Recorder A
I still need to check the details. Let me confirm them, I'm sure I can find some common points!

Recorder B
(Sigh) Focus on the changes in the agents. I'll go check the other Sectors, there's something I need to verify.


[Data Log 2]

Mysterious Agent
The information I got from ENIAC was correct... As expected of Cyclopes, they really did set up a huge testing ground!

Mysterious Agent
They ought to be able to properly test their performance with so much room, right? I wonder where their administrator is...

Mysterious Agent
It would be nice if I could ask an agent about this too. I've been travelling between Sectors for so long, being by myself is just so boring...

Simo
Ahhhhhhhh, you're such a pain! How much longer are you going to keep nagging me for?!

Mysterious Agent
Hm? Did something happen... Let's go see what the fuss is all about.

Simo
I was doing just fine helping Tasha organize the agent battles, why are you getting in my way?!

Raven
A conflict is unfolding in this location, and I will not allow you to disturb Magrasea's peace.

Mysterious Agent
Good grief! You guys sure are making a lot of noise, may I know if...

Simo
YOU go find the administrator, then! You think you're accomplishing something by interrupting my work all the time!?

Raven
Even an Irregular Agent like you must work hard for Magrasea's peace. Since I saw you first, I need to start the rehabilitation with you...

Mysterious Agent
Helloooo? Am I being ignored? I'd like to borrow the Sector proving grounds to test out my new experimental piece. Can I take that as a yes?

Simo
What do you mean by rehabilitating me!? Shouldn't Sanctifiers be patrolling? Wake up, dear!

Raven
I cannot ignore battles that break out. If your obsession continues, you will unleash a terrifying-

Simo
I can't take it any more! I can't beat you in a fight, I can't get my point across... What the hell is wrong with you!?


[Audio Log Excerpt 3]

Recorder B
Can you decode that data log from just now? It looks awful when you can't read the original text.

Recorder A
I can't do it, you're expecting too much of me! All we can do now is recover some recompiled data with the help of the compiler...

Recorder A
Still, I DID make some progress, as expected of me!

Recorder B
You said you were looking for similarities in the ways that the Dolls changed. Did you find them?

Recorder A
Mhm. How should I put this... In human terms, they have personalities the same way agents do, right?

Recorder A
Cut from the compiler feedback, all the agents' base layer personality characteristics are different from their normal selves!

Recorder B
So you're saying... They're like parallel world versions of themselves?

Recorder A
You can call it that if you like, but the differences in their personalities are too great, to the point where you could say they're different agents altogether.

Recorder B
No wonder the compiler didn't report any logic errors even though the entire cloud server changed... It must have been emergent behavior from the Dolls.

Recorder A
Looks like it! Although, exactly what could have caused this? This kind of lies in my blind spot...

Recorder B
Judging by my experience, the insertion of some kind of special data might have caused it. Let's follow this line of logic and try to trace the confusion back to its source.

Recorder A
Yup! A Signature like that ought to be... Found it, there are several places showing signs of data movement!

Recorder B
Let me see... That's it, I'll follow it. Its final destination is... Hm?

Recorder A
What's wrong, wat's wrong?

Recorder B
The data vanished. Maybe it actively hid its traces, or maybe it blended in with the other data, or maybe...

Recorder A
It was deleted?


[Data Log 3]

Judgement
Is everyone here? Then let's cut to the chase, I'm in a hurry to hand down a verdict.

Judgement
You there, Irregular Agent. And you, harboring an Irregular Agent makes you an Irregular Agent too.

Judgement
And you - piloting a mech all over Magrasea makes you an Irregular Agent!

Mysterious Agent
I told you, my name's Croque!

Judgement
Ahhhh, what a pain. Fine, Croque, you're also an Irregular Agent!

Croque
Dammit, my social skills are useless here! Counsel, say something!

Judgement
There is no counsel, it's not like this is - Lord Eosphorus? What brings you to this place?

Eosphorus
Oh, don't mind me, I'm just performing a routine patrol. Judgement, you need to be more cautious around Irregular Agents, got that?

Judgement
...I understand. Was the one who got away earlier also because of...?

Eosphorus
No - that was an exceptional case which could not be handled by the usual rules.

Eosphorus
Although, in summary, it seems they have completely vanished from the cloud server. I will follow up on this with the administrators who are most familiar with the matter.

Judgement
Understood. All will be as you desire. But coming all this way in person... Did Eucharist nab Angelus for slacking off again?

Eosphorus
Hehe... Eucharist has always been very hardworking. It seems there has been unusual Entropic activity lately, so we must hold the line.

Eosphorus
Hesperus has been fighting on the frontlines all this while, and order must be maintained within the Tower... It seems many more things await us. Carry on, then.

Croque
Ehhhhhh! Don't go! What am I going to do if you go!

Judgement
Accept your fate! I'll be knocking off after passing sentence! Since Lord Eosphorus mentioned it, I'll start by putting you into remand!

Judgement
And now, the verdict!

Croque
Nooooooooo, I haven't finished the final trials for my mech!


[Audio Log Excerpt 4]

Recorder A
The more I organize this data, the more curious I get. What exactly were these logs talking about?

Recorder B
Much as I'd like to find out, we aren't authorized to read the rest of it.

Recorder A
Should we report this to the Professor? Because this is as far as we can go.

Recorder A
If we can't read the original data, then there's nothing we can do about these logs...

Recorder B
Let's just report it. This is the Professor's personal hard drive, after all. We just need to maintain it to the best of our abilities.

Recorder A
That's true. I wonder what the Professor used this drive for in the past? Let's sneak a peek at the version number... Ehhh? Is this... a backup of a backup?

Recorder A
A backup of a backup? Is this like a matrioshka doll or something?

Recorder B
Don't do unnecessary things. Although... Backing up a backup definitely isn't something the Professor would do.

Recorder B
Perhaps it was to cover up its original purpose. In any case, that's definitely something we shouldn't know about.
