It's some sort of communication device. Although you've probably deactivated it somehow, so I dont' know why I'm responding...

Nope! Got that fine! I think I just turned off my end of the receiver... or whatever you call it. Think I've got it figured out a little better- and cleaned up some too.

But a communication device, you say? Huh, interesting. It doesn't need any wires or anything to connect like a telephone, so is it more like a radio?

...but that's not what I'm trying to figure out here. I'm looking for some monsters- or rather, where they're coming from. I think I'm on the right track, judging from the mess I came across not too long ago...

My world doesn't have anything like this either.

If you're talking about the zombies, you have the right place. They're quite annoying. Ask around, I'm sure you'll find who's responsible.

Zombies? Eeeh... yeah, I guess you can call them annoying. Anyway, that's what I'm tryin' to find out! They were making quite a mess in New York.

They're rather useful! Great for keeping in touch with people.

So hello. How're you? You mentioned blood? Is everything alright?

Oh, hey!
Guess I'm about as well as I can be. I think the most progress I've gotten in this whole thing is getting myself lost- haha!

But yeah, everything's fine for the moment. Blood? Oh! Yeah, it was all over this weird communicator thingy.

But don't you know? Sometimes, most of the fun you get out of life is when you get lost.

And blood being all over the communicator thing doesn't exactly sound like everything's alright.

Hm. Interesting way to look at it. Me, I've always kept a pretty good track of which direction I wanted to go.
I guess when monsters attack your city, all that goes flying out the window!

The blood's not mine. It was... whoever's that this thing used to belong to.
.....not that I killed him, mind you!

Oh yes. Well, there is that. Darn those monsters. They tend to make life so very inconvenient for the rest of us in the end.

And it's good to hear that you didn't kill him, at least! ...did he get attacked by one of the monsters as well?

So I take it they're in more places than just New York, huh..?

I... don't think so, actually. He wasn't torn up like the ones I've seen back on our turf- this was done by a weapon.

Hey- who's responsible for all this anyway? You know something, right?

I believe you'll find the information you need here.

That helps a lot. Wow, I didn't know the situation was that bad... let alone that there are so many other places outside of our world...


Well, Colonel Curtis? If I can offer assistance to you and this Veil Union, you've got it. Maybe I'm jumping into something way out of my league, but this isn't something I can just sit back and watch happen.

My name's Firo Prochainezo, and I'm from New York of the United States of America. I'm part of the Martillo Family, a member of the Camorras- not that I suppose you'd know what that means if you're not familiar with our world. I'll say mafia and leave it at that.
I'm no stranger to fights, to protecting, or to killing if it comes down to it. I'm pretty good with a knife too. And something like this sure can't be ignored. I heard and saw a lot of people die by these stupid monsters- heh, I even got mauled by a group of 'em before I got here. So at least I have some idea of what we're dealing with.

My, how direct you are, Firo--but I suppose I can't complain, all considered.

Thank you for the information. There is a certain business I'm still handling at the moment, but you may contact my second-in-command, Aya Kobayashi, for more information on Netzak, how to get there, and what you may do to help. She'll also field any other questions you might have to the best of her ability. Of course, for security purposes, you'll be on probation to begin with; it can't be helped, since I can't speak with you directly until I return. I trust that is all right with you.

Our methods usually are- direct, that is.

I'll keep an eye out for Miss Kobayashi. As for being on probation- that's understandable and nothing I'm unfamiliar with.

Guess we'll meet eventually. Until then!

The Colonel is most certainly on a ball. You can trust what he has to say- it was quite accurate!

Though someone died for a reason other than the monsters? But this is New York. Depending on the part that the person was in, maybe..? Hmm...

You lot confuse me sometimes, really.

But that's okay~

That was a lot to digest, but it pretty much answered everything I was trying to find out.

Heh, I didn't say I was in New York -currently-. I'm lost, remember? Putting it in terms with all the stuff I just read, I'm assuming that this was probably one of the busted branches of that Nhode place and all the bodies here are left from some stand 'tween those OSTA and ANTI peo---2rqj qt

Well, yes. But New York is pretty big too. Easy to get lost there as well and all. I've been lost there, actually. It was pretty neat, seeing it all.

But if you're in Nhode th-...

Hmm.

Is your connection alright?

Whoa, sorry about that. Guess there were still some OSTA stragglers around here. Kinda surprised me, but it's all clear now. So what was that you were saying?

Right. So, if you're in Nhode then, I believe Captain Kobayashi is doing some work trying to examine the remains of Nhode and see if there are, perhaps, any other survivors.

She may be able to help you.

Okay, I'll keep an eye out for her then! What's she look like?

I'm pretty sure that there aren't many people around here with green hair. She shouldn't be too hard to find~

Green hair? For real? Wow, um, okay, right. Thanks again!
