<NVS NEWS> (Male REPORTING)
There was an announcement from General Resource's news agency that, at the present time, a keyword censorship over broadcast content was imposed over the news distribution system. This is the first time that such a large-scale information regulation is carried out. So now, this program is being transmitted from an independent broadcast station on the personnel base. Well, please watch the images we independently intercepted, right here and completely uncensored.

(Transmitting Ouroboros Video)
Many people still have misconceptions about our uprising. Our uprising comes about because that what people indeed value at regular intervals is nothing more than for friends to kill one another for the sake of mankind. Let me say this simply. The war we are currently waging against the armed forces of General Resource, Neucom, and UPEO is an entrance for a revolution that we desire... That's right. The true enemy to us is not the power behind General Resource, Neucom, and UPEO. When this revolution is complete, what we--- no, the entire mankind, will unearth is not this kind of power.

(Transmitting Dision's Images)
To us, this attack is necessary. Our world is ruled by worldly desires that cling onto a spell called the flesh. We realized this just when the economic power of the pool of giant multinational corporations supposed the old-generation power structure framed around the political and judicial institutions. However, the fact remains that the flesh is limiting to us, and it is hard to reject the control of worldly desires. Yes... That is because our lives are maintained by an environment that cannot get past the flesh, and we are bound by the usual desires: desire for food, desire for sex, desire for sleep. These are the necessary and basic things for maintaining life, and you must obtain them with money. As you would expect, our human race has never been completely free from this spell: mankind's limited world is that of the flesh, from which you are tied to your desires!

--- This statement came from an organization called Ouroboros. We do not have any detailed information on Ouroboros, but information is coming in saying that members of General Resource, Neucom, and
UPEO are joining Ouroboros in large numbers. They are demanding to be converted into computer data (computerization / sublimation) by using all of the world's computers, and it is said that among the ringleaders there is in fact someone who was computerized.

The list of participants in the coup d'etat is presented to the public on the electrosphere. From reading the list, it looks like the elite members from every squad joined. (The list included S. T. Schneider, F. I. Basil, Abyssal Dision, Kei Nagase, Cynthia B. Fitzgerald, and John Harvard) It seems that many participants were from Neucom, and as a distinctive feature, there were many whose names also appear on the reformatory experiment subject list. The details are unclear whether in fact they have discarded their bodies and became computerized, but the goal of this terrorist group is now clear.


<FIONA>
On the news just now... Are the Ouroboros the guys that my sister talked about? I guess this thing has really started. I can't believe that it was not just Neucom, but also General Resource and UPEO... So, do you think that, with this war against such terrorism, this world and history will seriously change!? --- It seems stupid! And I stayed because I didn't go with my sister. I shall plan to bring her back! I want you to help me. I believe that even now you certainly understand, how I feel.


<NVS OPERATION COMMAND: MISSION BRIEFING>
[LOCATION: PORT EDWARDS]
Now that the coup d'etat has occurred, we Neucom will strike out at the coup d'etat's organizers, Ouroboros, before fighting General Resource. Please shoot down all Ouroboros fighters launched from aerial aircraft carrier.


<FIONA>
Sorry about contacting you so early in the morning. However, after I followed the news on the Swallow, I couldn't sleep at all... After I found my sister's name on the list of hopefuls for computerization/sublimation, I thought for a long time that I must not do anything. I wonder if it was too late to stop her. However, if I meet her again, I will not fail to tell her - how I feel. It'll be all right if I couldn't stop her. Still, just one more time...


====================================================


<NVS OPERATION COMMAND: MISSION BRIEFING>
[LOCATION: GULF OF SAINT ARK]
Our sea-faring mobile city MegaFloat sustained destructive damage by an unidentified Ouroboros plane. Now that this has happened, please immediately destroy the aerial aircraft carrier Sulphiluna, the backbone of Ouroboros, so that the damage will not spread.

[FROM: CYNTHIA]
[TO: FIONA]
<Cynthia:>You're probably terribly down on yourself because of me, because it was your job. --- However, there was no other way at that time. It wasn't anybody's fault. Instead, I will thank you - because you had destroyed my body. I came to this computerized world, my dream. --- You probably may not believe that you're hearing this. However, I am really in electrosphere.

And...... It's wonderful.
