"This program is sponsored by EMI Music Japan." "I'm heading out." "What about breakfast?" "I made you some." "I just came home to change." "Got to get back." "All right." "See you later." "Yeah." "Job" " I/O the Trustee Committee has accepted the Denriken's proposal to implement systemic updates." "Three minutes of mandatory rest time remaining." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Morning." "You are supposed to be off-duty." "We have just finished with updating the System Metal." "sorry for asking." "I like to ask you about the updates." "Continue." "This update has effectively turned the Metal into something like a pool with limited depth. we have strengthened its resistance to external threats and made salvaging easier." "But doesn't this fundamentally negate the design concept behind the Metal?" "You are right." "we carried this out as emergency measure." "I made the decision myself." "I can't tell you the reason." "As I have no convincing proof." "This is all I can say." "The end of mandatory rest time." "Thank you for your cooperation." "Our way of life on this island is built upon the Meta-Real system." "not the system and not the concept." "I can only ask you to trust me." "One last thing." "It's against etiquette here to connect to the Metal for work purpose." "Please pay attention the next time." "I am sorry." "This is to ensure that rest is carried out effectively." "It is not a waste of time." "Yes." "Any problems?" "The system has been updating for 31 hours and 41 minutes." "No problems so far." "Set backup frequency to 1100." "We don't have enough storage." "Borrow some from the Archives Department and the RD Department. we should have more than enough." "Sir." "I need two or three volunteers!" "I have a question about the extension operation." "May I have the code?" "Yes." "R78-902." "Go ahead." "Thank you." "How may I help you?" "I gathered." "that is no doubt." "I see." "[Request for Absence" " My wife is starting to have labor pains." "Hayama]" "[Request for absence has been approved." "Stay with her.]" "Thank you." "let's go home." "Yeah." "You don't want it?" "It's your favorite hamburger." "Mom's is better." "not until the baby is born." "You too want to stay with your grandma?" "I'm off to work." "I'm home." "How many sectors are corrupted?" "It is spreading from the Metal abyss to the mid-layers." "not from the surface." "How is it possible for this to happen from within the system?" "Unable to transfer data." "Any holes in the firewalls?" "No damaged sectors." "Unable to identify vaccine." "C6 to A3 down." "In total lost of eight firewalls." "Corruption is spreading." "Firewall effectiveness has dropped to 50%." "Data firewall breached!" "This means the firewalls themselves are corrupted." "Shut down the corrupted area." "Remaining safety field 30." "Severe the system connection." "Unable to connect to the system." "We have no access." "it will spread to the Artificial Island's main system." "Yeah." "Chief." "ID confirmed." "We are here to ensure that the Meta-Real system runs smoothly as the bedrock of our society." "What I have to do is to keep the damage to a minimum." "Chief!" "Chief!" "Chief." "We should contact the higher-ups." "the System Metal updates were supposed to be risk free." "What is this?" "Miss Aoi." "Your answer please." "Yes." "I did it!" "Switch power from primary to backup transformers." "And reboot with 50% processing load." "Switching transformers." "Loading backup into non-administrative terminals." "300 seconds until complete recovery." "System reboot completed." "Is the Metal down?" "looks like it is." "Just when I solved it!" "The system is completely restored." "Good." "Check for any other problems that might have occurred." "Yes." "Come to my office immediately." "Understood." "The latest system-down has caused an estimated 3 billions Asias in damage." "Asia = The common currency of the ASEAN nations." "What did the investors say about it?" "than about its actual damage." "it would be hard to wipe out the negative image. it shall have an impact on the interest of this island. we can keep the damage to a minimum." "We could say it was the "hero" of the Denriken who halted the system." "Do you intend to make him take the fall for this?" "I have no intention of letting your reputation get tarnished." "I too agree." "but for our investors as well." "We must avoid damaging your image at any cost." "Then may we all resolve this issue in the manner we have just agreed upon." "There was no other choice." "But he did it for the best interest of this island." "You could even call him a hero." "A hero that only we and Kushima know about." "I was told. the Island main system would have been corrupted as well." "Your father was the one who saved this island." "No he saved Director Kushima." "Will you forgive what I have done?" "I was protecting a very important person to both of us." "Yeah." "the morning news." "the Meta-Real Network system went down." "This was yesterday." "and it vanished." "are you listening?" "Yeah." "Your lunch is over there." "I see that." "Who's that rice ball for?" "It's for dad's lunch." "Dad's?" "That's unusual." "You're going to be late." "it's this late!" "See you later!" "lunch!" "See you later!" "Dad." "How is Minamo doing?" "I haven't told her about you." "I see." "I am sorry to make things difficult for you and Mizuho." "Not at all." "I made this for you." "I am not hungry." "Would you take it back?" "All right." "Souta" "Yes?" "The system?" "How is the Meta-Real?" "Father." "Has the director come up with any solution?" "All I did was to buy us time." "He is the only one who can solve this." "The Trustee Committee is going to convene a closed-door meeting." "I see." "We shall have their decision tomorrow." "what is the result?" "Director! my diver was monitoring the situation inside the System Metal." "Under those conditions?" "Who would do something that dangerous?" "You?" "I was that diver." "My name is Masamichi Haru." "It was quite a thrilling dive. there was no doubt that an unanticipated thought complex has emerged." "trying to devour it." "It was like a starfish devouring a piece of coral." "That behavior alone suggests that it might be some kind of virus." "But it is not. and camouflage itself with fake link gates until it gains some kind of system access." "it would have committed suicide together with the system thought complex." "What did it actually do?" "it sank back into the abyss." "Back to the abyss?" "I thought of that possibility and conducted all kinds of thought complex experiments inside the Metal." "That could only mean... something that leads us to hypothesize the existence of a gigantic database in the abyss." "Theoretically this is correct." "there are partitioning matrix base walls inside the System Metal abyss." "What is the design concept of the Metal?" "The sea." "it merges with it." "That is the nature of the Meta-Real." "I felt a vibration all over the Metal." "I survived." "more than 50 years after its initial conception." "Where is it heading to?" "The answer is already close at hand." "I believe that you feel the same way." "Am I right?" "Director." "Mr. Haru." "Souta wanted me to give this to you." "Souta?" "Souta." "Shall we go?" "Chief." "Why did you tell me all this?" "Because I judged that you are same as me. as demonstrated by the fact that you went ahead and did what I should have done." "Allow me to say this again." "This island owes you." "I thank you on behalf of the people of this island." "Aoi." "I am grateful." "Director." "We must go now." "Souta." "Mizuho." "Thank you." "Chief!" "I'm no longer your chief." "I'm just another researcher." "I shall carry out research as your equal." "Let's all do work we won't regret." "I look forward to being part of your team again." "Souta." "Father." "I'm coming home now." "I am going to have breakfast at home. you can download these pictures. Ta-dum!" "These Kanae Oki's Real Drive pictures can now be downloaded." "Like this with me smiling and holding out my arms." "And this very rare "oooh" version." "These Real Drive Kanae Oki images can only be downloaded for this one week only." "Please go check it out."
