"What now, Oreic?" Isrina worried about Terrhina's spirit.

"I assure you the masters and I'll make sure she won't lay a finger on Shien," Oreic promised Isrina as he saw Yanshi signal him to meet. "The masters and I will have a word now. Why don't you relax with the Murhavs and Shuruukos in the meantime?"

"O-okay," Isrina nodded as Oreic met with the masters in a broken train.

She headed into the medical bay and smiled to see Rahim and Naphthien hug their awakened daughter.

"Glad to see your daughter is well," Covinski walked into the room. "I know it's late, but we have some catching up."

"Sure," Isrina nodded.

Covinski grabbed a chair to sit on. "Now, before I start, I want you all to swear that you will tell me the truth."

"We swear," Isrina sat beside Shien.

"Is the UICA responsible for the World Cybertrap?"

"No!" Isrina's group said immediately.

Naphthien violently shook her head.

"Can you prove it?" Covinski took out a notepad and pencil. "The public is convinced that the UICA started the World Cybertrap. Instead of being blinded by Federation propaganda, I want to hear from your perspective, but it's been difficult with Cecilius gone."

"Colonel Maika started all of this. She made the Eclipser Virus," Isrina told him. "I was there at the Baltimore WARBLER Center with Saitori and Cecilius. She and another agent infiltrated the center and planted the virus during the anniversary. We tried to stop her, but failed."

Covinski wrote on his notepad.

"So, you're saying that Maika herself was responsible. How ironic that she's the one gaining power over our country," Covinski turned to the Murhavs and Shuruukos. "Were any of you with Isrina during the anniversary?"

Niode raised his hand. "I was. We worked together to build an antivirus against the Eclipser. It's now up to my daughter to lead the players in beating the game to activate it."

"Hold on. Beat Syanic Earth?" Covinski adjusted his glasses. "Nobody's ever done that."

"Unfortunately, it was the only method that worked for the Eclipser virus."

"I hope Shien and the rest of the gang are okay," Nashura worried.

"I hope so too, Nashura," Isrina stroked Shien's face. "My Little Chickadee."

The General scribbled his notes. "And you swear this is the truth?"

"Yes, General."

"Alright. I'll report to Forroway ASAP."

"You were in touch with President Forroway?" Rahim gasped. "What's he doing?"

"President Forroway is secretly doing an undercover investigation on Maika. He entrusted me to find you before Maika does."

"Thank goodness he's still with us," Rahim sighed with relief.

"So, Baltimore WARBLER Center. Correct?"

Isrina nodded.

Covinski checked his report. "Thank you all very much. Forroway will likely send an investigation unit to the wreckage of the Baltimore Center once I report this to him."

"Thank you, Covinski," Rahim smiled. "Tell Forroway we're thankful."

"It's my pleasure."

"Wait!" Niode exclaimed. "Before you go, could you give us a map?"
