Vertin: Hello. Please get me Madam Z of St. Pavlov Foundation Committee.
Z: Hmm. It's you. What's wrong?
Vertin: I require access to the historical intelligence on the U.S. financial market in 1929, specifically the date of the Wall Street stock market crash, and how much arcanum was involved in the methods of stock exchange.
Z: Anything else?
Vertin: ... Also, I request sending backup to reinforce the Storm Gathering tonight. Casual wear required.
Z: The date of the 1929 Crash confirmed by primary sources is Thursday, October 24. And the decline happened again, on the 28th and 29th.
Z: Intelligence Division indicates that no arcane forces were involved.
Vertin: Hmm ...
Vertin: The Manus is changing history, Madam Z.
Z: I'll send you a special team and give you the highest command.
Z: Do not make any moves until you figure out the reason why they want to change the history.
Vertin: Copy that.
Z: Sounds like your friend just got into some troubles, Regulus.
Regulus: ... tuts
Regulus: I'd say, sign these documents and that's all for me, right? And then to the office of Scientific Computing Center?
???: That's right. Let me show you the way, Regulus.
Z: En. This is X, our mechanical scientist. He will introduce you to some of our research devices ...
Z: Although you are known for your rock and roll, I've heard that you're also interested in human technology.
Regulus: Oh I got it. I don’t need to introduce myself then. Just call me Captain R!
X: Heh heh. That's not what our names come from.
X: Follow me, friend from afar. I have a lot of interesting new things to show you.
X: The office is the only branch of the Scientific Computing Center affiliated with the Foundation. So, only the paper materials can be shared.
X: Hmm ...
Regulus: Hey! Why do you stop! I almost hit you.
X: The introduction of the Scientific Computing Center is over, and your sightseeing tour ends here.
X: Would you like to know something more interesting?
X: For example ... the truth of the "Storm"?
Regulus: ... What do you know?
X: Not me. It's we. We're from a secret institution inside the Scientific Computing Center—Institutum Lorentz.
X: We are the ones who invited you to visit the Scientific Computing Center. Although you didn't bring the "little thing" with you, I believe it's still necessary for us to know each other.
Regulus: Humph. So, it seems everyone of the Foundation is an intelligence expert.
X: We are not part of the Foundation, not even part of the Scientific Computing Center.
X: Unlike the Manus rioters who attacked you for your "little thing" ...
X: We are only interested in the arcanists who are curious and inquisitive. Everything else has nothing to do with us. To better understand the "Storm," Lorentz needs more talented collaborators.
Regulus: Hmm ...
Regulus: So, does the door in front of us lead to your secret base?
X: For now, yes.
Regulus: ...
Regulus: I can't see anything inside.
Regulus: ...
Regulus: Vertin and Sonetto, what are they doing now ...
