A/V TRANSCRIPT - UIU - MTF BACKDOOR SOHO/8631

FOREWORD: UIU police forces requested assistance from SCPF MTF units to engage an unknown hostile entity. The following is body camera footage from MTF Pi-1 "City Slickers" upon arrival at the scene.

<BEGIN TRANSCRIPT>

<P1-α, β, and γ face an empty alleyway locked by a holographic thaumaturgic seal and are surrounded by UIU teams. P1-α brings a megaphone to their mouth.>

P1-α: If you do not exit the alleyway and surrender, we hold the right to enter and arrest. Compliance will be rewarded.

[ENTITY REMOVED]: Leave me alone! I-I'm so tired, please. Just— <pauses> Just let me have this!

P1-α: Do you understand the consequences of what you are trying to do? You'll destroy everything! Nothing will be left if you go through with this.

Command: You have clearance to enter.

[ENTITY REMOVED]: Please, I'm so tired…

<P1-α, β, and γ breach the seal and enter the alleyway. They pause for ten seconds, confused.>

P1-γ: Command, please reconfirm mission objective.

Command: Uh… Unsure, checking in with supervisor and UIU.

<Five seconds pass.>

Command: Objective is hostile entity engagement and disarmament.

P1-α: No entities detected nearby, several thaumaturgic glyphs surround the area and are connected to a machine. Please advise.

Command: Understood, changing objective. Object recovery and containment. Notifying the UIU and sending a containment team. Please vacate the space.
