Chernobog Warehouse 12:40 A.M.

With all these warehouses and storage equipment... this must be the warehouse district.

If we stay on this path, we'll reach the central district.

Amiya! Come look! In the warehouse.

What is it? ...Oh.

Signs of combat using sharp, blade-type Arts. Made quick work of three Reunion guys, tossed them over here.

...still going.

Dr. Kal'tsit!

Um, I'm asking you and the medic operators to take care of the Reunion people. They may have important information.

And we've picked up Madame Ch'en's trail here...

Bloodstains. She's hurt.

There's a trail of blood here, but it stops over there. She got her bleeding under control.

Only one person left the scene. It must be Madame Ch'en.

...Hold on, Madame Ch'en. We're coming...

We're doing this again?;......;Feels like déjà vu.

Hah... Yeah, Chernobog was just like this.

But Madame Ch'en was able to take on a rogue Reunion team all by herself back there...

This time, it's totally different.

We had a cooperation agreement then, nothing else. I was only starting to learn who Madame Ch'en was...

But here, we're already...

Is that... a civilian?

...Where did she come from? We haven't found their hideout...

This is an Ursus graveyard!

(Stay alert... but hold your fire!)

We're a neutral group researching the Infected! Ma'am,  we're here to help you!

We mean you no harm, you're a regular Infected—

Infected? Pfah! I'm Ursus!

You want to help the Infected...?! Hah, bullshit... Don't you know what you Infected have done to us?

Ma'am, we'll keep our distance if you feel unsafe. We'll stay twenty meters back.

No, no, I'm Infected too. So I'm not supposed to talk to you like that, right?

You'll save the Infected? Ahaha, hahaha... All Infected should all just die!

I should die too. I should die too! If there were no Infected, I wouldn't have gotten Infected!

All they think about is revenge and hurting others... Is THAT what the Infected do? Is that what I should be doing?!

(Amiya, comfort her, okay?)

(No. Not now.)

(Let her vent. All the painful memories she's built up over the last month are stabbing into her consciousness.)

(It's time she... faces them. This is a chance for her to pull them all out.)

Do you know who we are here, Infected?

Infected, just like you. Alive and dead.

The Infected who managed to just barely keep themselves alive, thanks to Reunion; and the countless Infected who died here, thanks to Reunion...

But we weren't Infected before.

They scattered the people of Chernobog in all directions, then hunted us down. It started as a slaughter, then turned to torture, and finally they dumped the survivors like trash!

I don't even know how many starved or froze to death...

But those of us who survived were all Infected by constant exposure to Originium! Every last one of us!

You Infected...

You damn Infected...!!

Trust us... You don't have to take us to the other patients. We'll leave you what you need for critical care. And then we're gone.

I don't trust you.

Did Ursus send you? Or Lungmen?

If it really was them, we'd be dead already.

It's you...!

Amiya, scan his ID code.

Dr. Kal'tsit...?!

Guard, explain yourself.

It's been a while, Amiya, Dr. Kal'tsit.

And, Dr. {@nickname}.
