…the hell? Pisces?

Yo, you really got beat.

Ain’t gotta worry ‘bout it.

I’ve been hiding it somewhere ‘round here for years. Ain’t nobody remember this place no more!

I mean, who in da world would search this dump to look for Nubila Arcana? Only you and pops know about it anyway.

It was nice for the three of us to be here together and forget about the rest of the world.

It’s been forever, huh? You haven’t forgotten about how we used to hang here back in the day, Pisces?

파이시스

Aries! No, it has nothing to do with Nubila Arcana. Listen…

아리에스

Yo calm down girl!

Oh, it’s not ‘bout that piece of crap? Then tell me what it is. Why don’t you start telling me why did they attack you?

파이시스

Somebody breached Almagest.

They call him Ophiuchus. He’s not a grounder, nor has he ever had access to Black Ground.

I was following him and I finally reached Terranova, Virgo’s hideout, thanks to that little nonsensical girl, Gemini.

Nobody seems to have any idea of how he did it. But that probably means that Prolemaeus, the creator of Almagest, has awakened somewhere.

아리에스

Prolemaeus, the first grounder.

That’s right. The first avatar created in Black Ground…

…and the developer of Almagest, the most advanced AI ALICE has ever seen. If someone breached Almagest…

…that means the grounder’s awake. We have to find Prolemaeus before the Negotiators do.

캔서

For what exactly, little brat?

Do I have to remind you that you have no hope in a direct conflict against ALICE’s servers?

They are coming for you.

During Terranova’s battle it seems Pisces was infected by a location algorithm. It’s a matter of minutes before the Negotiators discover this place.

I remember you as the good kid I used to play with all long. Don’t throw yourself away.

Give up already, Aries.

아리에스

And hand over Nubila Arcana?

We both know that’ll never happen, pops.

That old database is our only weapon. I won’t give it to those punks.

The outsiders… They’ll pay for what they did to us and for all the deaths they caused.

I’ll avenge my parents death. I won’t stop ‘til I’ll find those dirty dogs. I still remember the face of the guy who killed them… I won’t stop ‘til I crush him in to pieces!

???

Subject nearby. Activation confirmed.

Initializing data transfer.

아리에스

What? Nubila Arcana…

Is activating itself?

Yo. That’s impossible!
