''During the time when we had gotten attacked by those tentacles, we were all stabbed in specific spots.''
''This could mean that the Tyrant Class Rapture which attacked us could be the reason for the corruption.''
''Every Matis member was corrupted. You cannot be corrupted...''
''And Rapi... Wasn't she also stabbed in the shoulder?''
''Why isn't she embodying any sign of the corruption? Why is her mind as tranquil as a deer?''
''I'm giving you a warning, Father. Something is at play here. I don't care if it's technology or black magic, she knows something you do not.''
''(We're here).'' Maxwell looked onward as the group stood behind her. ''No doubt about it, this is the place. (We're here).'' We
''(Here)?'' Laplace looked around. ''Where is (Here) exactly?'' Are
''Who cares? (We're finally here).'' Drake snarked. Here.
And before them was a substance unknown.
Black and liquid slime which didn't seem to move at the moment. That was a Heretic Fragment.
It has to be one, we beat through hell to get here.
''That's... That's... That's all that is left of her? This sludge?''
Her?
... No response.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Rapi reach for her weapon.
I turn to Eunhwa and see her also doing so.
No stopping it, then.
Shots rang across the entirety of the room as each member of Matis fell to the ground.
''...'' I emotionlessly looked down at the sight.
''Clear.'' Rapi lowered her rifle and quickly looked at me. ''Co-''
''Corrupted. I know.'' I interrupted her.
... I swear, I saw her eyes widen for a moment. ''You did?''
''Next time, just know that I can read hang signals.''
''I smell bullshit.''
Shut it, Hare.
''Oh.'' Rapi understood. ''Okay.''
''... Are they dead?'' I looked at the bodies.
''We used suppression bullets. They aren't dead.'' She answered quickly and hoisted her weapon on her back.
I released a sigh of relief.
... Wait, that's not right...
''But they're corrupted, right?'' I raised an eyebrow. ''Shouldn't we like... Ya know?''
''Not necessarily.'' She answered as she bent down and picked up Laplace's body. ''I've called over reinforcements. Once they get here, we can harvest the Heretic Fragment over there, get a good mapping of this place, and then retrieve the bodies of Matis for a Memory Wipe.''
...
''Me no understand.''
How is a Memory Wipe supposed to help this situation?''
