Chapter 13: Metal Nexus I

## Script

*Scene - Eversun*
*Player, Billy and Kitty meet with the Light of Purity contact to report back on Hart*
**Purity Contact**: Thank you, heroes!
**Purity Contact**: I just left Hart's house. I just had a talk with his parents about when he's going to leave Eversun.
**Purity Contact**: Without your help, I never could've gotten it done!
**Billy**: No worries. Call it mutual assistance?
**Purity Contact**: Mutual? Haha, then is there something I can help you with?
**Billy**: Eddie had you and that guy come to meet us last time. Aren't you supposed to take us to the Metal Nexus?
**Billy**: Let's go!
**Purity Contact**: I wasn't aware of any such arrangements...
**Purity Contact**: I thought we just ran into each other on accident.
**Billy**: Huh?
**Player**: Eh?
**Kitty**: Think carefully. What did Eddie write in his letter of recommendation?
**Purity Contact**: I'm sorry, there's been a misunderstanding. I'm not the person you're looking for.
**Purity Contact**: I am supposed to be a contact, but I'm not your contact.
**Purity Contact**: The Metal Nexus? I'm afraid only a few people in the Light of Purity's Striders Team would have any clue about that.
**Purity Contact**: The divisions of responsibility in the Light of Purity are clear-cut. There's very little overlap.
**Purity Contact**: Pat, who was with me before, is from the Persuasion Team.
**Purity Contact**: The guy who's traumatized by one of Hart's desserts. That guy.
**Purity Contact**: I'm on the Contact Team. Pat's in charge of persuasion, and I'm in charge of escorting Gyees out when he's done.
**Purity Contact**: I was just chatting in my free time when I heard someone mention what you were coming here to do.
**Purity Contact**: Everything I know about you is just hearsay...
**Purity Contact**: But for your purposes, which person you're supposed to contact in which department...is confidential.
**Purity Contact**: I know absolutely nothing.
**Kitty**: Ah? Then what can we do?
**Billy**: What else can we do? We admitted our mistake, and ran around with Hart...
**Billy**: We missed the connection time. Where can we find someone to take us now?
**Billy**: Kitty, it's all your fault! We hadn't even heard everything before you jumped out and said he's one of us!
**Kitty**: Clearly, it's all your fault! When you discovered something was wrong, why didn't you stop me?
**Player**: Shut up...
**Player**: Since the airship's navigation can still give us a general location, let's go check it out.
**Billy**: That's all we can do.
**Kitty**: Humph!
*Scene - A forest near a lake*
*The airship flies over a lake in the middle of a forest*
*The lake is next to a cliff with multiple waterfalls feeding into the lake*
*Chapter 13*
*Metal Nexus I*
*Billy lands the airship and everyone exits*
**Billy**: Navigation says the Metal Nexus is right here.
**Kitty**: But there's nothing here. Is it possible that we need to dig a tunnel ourselves and look for it?
**Player**: Check all around. There might be some clues.
*The party looks around the area but encounters three Shadow soldiers*
**Shadow Patrol A**: Who's that?!
**Shadow Patrol B**: Are you the mine owner that's come to take over the factory?
**Player**: ???
**Shadow Patrol B**: It's too early for that. The robot scraps the factory made haven't been picked up yet.
**Shadow Patrol B**: It must be handed over at the agreed time. You can't get close to the Nexus now!
**Kitty**: But what if I insist?
*The partrol readies their swords*
**Shadow Patrol A**: Huh? Who are you! How did you find this place?
**Billy**: Save the talk for after the beating!
*Player, Billy and Kitty defeat the Shadow patrol*
**Player**: Eh? Why didn't you leave any survivors?
**Player**: We didn't get a chance to ask them how to get to the Nexus!
**Kitty**: The Shadow Legion is too aggressive! They've even built a factory near the Metal Nexus!
**Billy**: Well it's not all bad. Even though we don't know the way, we'll at least be able to confirm we've found the right place.
**Billy**: We'll need to be careful. Some members of the Shadow Legion are still here!
**Kitty**: Let's see what they've got on them.
*Billy searches one of the patrol*
**Billy**: It's some sort of strange ring-shaped device. They've all got the same thing.
*Everyone hears a large splash nearby*
**Billy**: Huh?
**Player**: Did something just fall into the lake?
**Billy**: Not something. Someone!
**Player**: Ah? They jumped into the lake to kill themselves?
**Kitty**: Haha, you all are making a fuss about nothing. The weather today is really nice. It's perfect for a swim!
**Kitty**: Maybe someone stripped down and jumped in to take a bath. Let's keep our distance. We don't want to see anything we shouldn't!
**Player**: This place is secluded, after all. It'd be a pretty good place to take a bath.
**Billy**: Have you seen someone fully clothed with bandages all over their body go swimming or bathing?
**Kitty**: Huh?
**Kitty**: The water's so shallow. They aren't really trying to take the easy way out, are they?
**Player**: Let's go check it out!
**Billy**: Ok!
*Kitty runs towards the edge of the lake*
**Billy**: Kitty，don't run so fast. You don't swim!
*As Billy and Player approach Kitty, they walk over a strange paved circle on the ground*
*Once the two pass over the center of the circle, they teleport away*
**Kitty**: Hey Billy，you're dazzled?
**Kitty**: Anyone in water?
*Kitty turns around*
**Kitty**: Huh???
**Kitty**: Where are you guys!?
**Kitty**: Are you kidding me? Not funny at all! Come out!
**Kitty**: Hey- !
*Scene - An underground ruins*
*Billy and Player are teleported to a strange underground ruins*
*A large crystal floats in a center platform emitting beams of light*
*Multiple branching paths connect to the center platform*
*The whole structure floats in the air above an underground lake*
**Player**: Eh?
**Billy**: How did we end up here?
**Player**: What do you mean 'end up'? We fell down here!
**Billy**: I seem to remember us stepping on something?
**Billy**: I was holding onto the ring-shaped device I pilfered from the bodies of those Shadow Soldiers and suddenly there was a reaction!
**Billy**: Then it brought us here!
**Billy**: We left Kitty all alone in the forest...
**Player**: This device must be an instrument the Shadow Soldiers use to open portals!
**Player**: We happened to have one of the instruments when we accidentally stepped on a portal platform, and it took us here.
**Player**: We need to think of a way out of here and quick!
*Billy sees a door near him and tries to open it*
**Billy**: I don't know how to open it. I push and pull and I haven't even opened it a crack.
**Billy**: There's probably some special way to open it.
**Billy**: Let's go ahead and see if there is something that can open the door.
*The two walk towards the center platform*
*Billy notices a short glowing green pipe on the ground*
**Billy**: Something on the ground?
*Billy approaches the pipe but then a large stone golem rises from the ground of the center platform*
*The green pipe gets absorbed into the golem's core*
**Billy**: Huh?!
**Player**: That thick pipe was sucked in by it! It helps Shadow guard this thing?
**Billy**: Anyway，there it is…
**Billy**: Seems a tough war!
*Player and Billy battle the stone golem and win*
*The stone golem melts back into the ground, leaving the green pipe*
*Billy examines the pipe*
**Billy**: Just a conducting tube? What is it for?
*Player looks around and notices three pyramid-shaped crystals*
*Two beams of light connect from the large glowing crystal to two of the pyramids but one is disconnected*
**Player**: See，three crystals in total，two of them can shoot beam. But the remaining one...
**Billy**: Ah, I see!
**Billy**: Maybe this green conductive tube can get the crystal to work.
**Billy**: I'm going to go check out the defective crystal!
**Billy**: You can check out the other two crystal tables and then come help me.
**Player**: Sure!
*Player checks the room then goes back to Billy and the defective pyramid*
**Billy**: Yeah. This is where the green conductive tube should be used.
**Billy**: Anyway... the Shadow truly is cunning!
**Player**: What happened?
**Billy**: We not only need to get the conductive tube into position to operate the crystal. We also need to enter the right password.
**Player**: Then what should we do?
**Billy**: Forget the password! In the end, it's just a machine! We'll just break it open and reconfigure it!
**Billy**: This will be a piece of cake. It's just going to take a little time, that's all.
**Billy**: Come here, give me a hand. Hold my toolbox and pass me the tools.
*Player passes a tool to Billy*
**Billy**: This is easy!
**Billy**: Put this here...
**Billy**: And then do this...
**Billy**: Stir it a little bit...
*Player passes another tool to Billy*
**Billy**: Hmm... This is a bit complicated.
**Billy**: But I have seen boss making this before.
**Billy**: Almost there...
*Player passes another tool to Billy*
**Billy**: Haha, nailed it!
*The pyramid starts to emit a beam of light towards the large crystal*
*Another beam of light comes out of the crystal and shines on the locked door, opening it*
**Player**: Excellent，we can get out!
*The whole place starts to shake*
**Player**: What happened?
**Billy**: Shoot，it's going to collapse!
**Billy**: Might because I cracked the device without inputting code and triggered the destroy mechanism set by Shadow!
**Billy**: We need get out quickly!
**Player**: Ok!
*Billy and Player start running towards the door but a large falling rock destroys the path*
**Billy**: Can't pass this way!
*More debris falls from the ceiling*
**Player**: More! Watch out!
*Billy and Player escape to one of the branching platforms with a pyramid*
**Player**: Am I dying in this place?!
*Billy notices a pipe far below them*
**Billy**: Look there! An exit!
**Player**: Too far! We won't make it!
*Billy summons his hoverboard and gets on*
**Billy**: Get here! Hurry!
*Player stands on the hoverboard*
**Billy**: Hold me tight!
**Player**: Errr... okay.
**Billy**: Ready?
*The two ride the hoverboard towards the pipe*
**Player**: AHHHHH!
*They make it just as another boulder destroys the platform they were just standing on*
**Player**: Almost...
**Billy**: Let's get moving!
*Billy and Player walk farther down the pipe*
*Unknown to them, a man in bandages watches them from afar*
*Scene - A sewer system*
**Billy**: The road behind us totally collapsed. We barely escaped. Where should we go now?
**Billy**: That might be a dead end up ahead.
**Player**: Don't be so negative.
**Billy**: All we can do is check it out.
*Billy and Player explore the sewer system and pass multiple abandoned robots*
*They reach a room where a robot stands over a pile of discarded robot parts*
**Robot Scrapped in the Corner**: No.13. Don't. Waste. Energy.
**Robot No. 13**: Sorry. I. Can't. Keep. Going.
**Robot Scrapped in the Corner**: Do not. Listen. To. Sad words.
**Robot No. 13**: Do. Not. Cry. Your. Oil. Will. Dry. Up.
**Robot No. 13**: No.13 cannot. Protect. You.
**Robot No. 13**: Protect you.
**Robot No. 13**: You.
**Player**: We're just passing through. We mean you no harm.
**Robot No. 14**: It. Does not. Matter. Anyway.
**Player**: ...
**Robot No. 13**: No.14. Do you think. There is an. Afterlife?
**Robot No. 13**: In the. Afterlife. I want to. Be. Reincarnated. As a cat.
**Robot No. 14**: That. Would. Be. Nice.
**Robot No. 14**: Cats. Can go. Wherever they want. They do. Not need. Others.
**Robot No. 13**: But. I. Need. You.
**Robot No. 14**: That is fine. I will. Be reincarnated. As catnip. You will. Still need. Me.
**Billy**: ...
**Robot No. 14**: But. What about. This life?
**Robot No. 13**: This life. You must. Not. Leave me.
**Robot No. 13**: Because. I will. Go first.
**Robot No. 14**: That. Would. Be. Nice.
**Robot No. 14**: Use the. Strength. You have. Left. Go first.
**Robot No. 13**: I will.
**Robot No. 13**: Consciousness. Will. Go first. My body. Will stay. With you. Till the end.
**Robot No. 14**: Good. I will. Hold. Your body. And watch. You go.
**Billy**: ...
**Robot No. 14**: No.13. Is dead.
**Billy**: Except for you, all the robots have been thoroughly scrapped.
*All Choices - Choice 1.1: "Billy, you must know how to repair it, right?" OR Choice 1.2: "Billy, is there no way to save it?"*
*No additional dialog*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Billy**: I'm afraid I can't. The boss would be able to, for sure!
**Billy**: Don't worry. I will take you back to Red Harbor. After you're repaired, you'll be good as new!
**Billy**: Before we find the way out, is there anything you can tell us?
*Choices start #1*
*Choice 2.1 - Why did the Shadow make you, only to destroy you later?*
**Robot No. 14**: They. Built a factory. To use. Flux. To build. A powerful. Robot army.
**Robot No. 14**: But. After they made us. They themselves. Were used. By Father Metal.
**Robot No. 14**: Who is Father Metal?
**Robot No. 14**: The Shadow. Calls Father. The Metal Nexus.
**Robot No. 14**: After being infused. With Father's Flux. Most of the robots. Became Strong. But also. Were no longer. The tools of the Shadow.
**Robot No. 14**: Some of the. Sentient robots. Became Guards. Of the Metal Nexus.
**Robot No. 14**: Some of them. Like me. Pretended. Not to be sentient. And stayed. In the Shadows' Robot Legion.
**Robot No. 14**: The Shadow miscalculated. They could not. Defeat Father Metal. They lost everything. And then. Emptied the factory. And withdrew.
**Robot No. 14**: Evil. Has. Lost.
*Go back to Choices start #1*
*Choice 2.2 - Why were you and the other machines sent here?*
**Robot No. 14**: When the. Shadow withdrew. They only planned. To take some robots.
**Robot No. 14**: They ordered us. To kill. Each other. One on one. The ones that. Refused to hurt. The others. And the ones. That hesitated. Were deemed. Traitors.
**Robot No. 14**: No.13. And I. Our serial numbers. Are linked. He didn't want to. Hurt me.
**Robot No. 14**: We didn't listen. And were discovered.
**Robot No. 14**: So. After the other. Robots scrapped us. We became garbage. And were thrown here.
*Go back to Choices start #1*
*Choice 2.3 - Your friend, No.13...*
**Robot No. 14**: I only have. One friend.
**Robot No. 14**: His name is No. 13.
**Robot No. 14**: I am No. 14.
**Robot No. 14**: From the time. We were assembled. From components. We were together.
**Robot No. 14**: After we. Became sentient. The first thing. We saw. Was each other.
**Robot No. 14**: I have been. Severely damaged. My battery. Is running out. Fast.
**Robot No. 14**: He took. Three of his four. Batteries. And gave them. To me.
**Billy**: So... he used up all his energy so that you could go on living.
**Robot No. 14**: He. Didn't. Understand.
**Player**: ...
*Go back to Choices start #1*
*Choice 2.4 - We're going to get you out of here!*
**Robot No. 14**: It. Wasn't. Necessary.
**Robot No. 14**: Don't make me. Live alone...
**Robot No. 14**: Finish. Me. Please.
**Billy**: No, I need to save you!
**Player**: The Metal Nexus gave you thought, but you can't live like people.
**Robot No. 14**: Be... careful...
*Scene continues after choices*
*Suddenly a dark arrow hits No. 14 and hits it*
**Player**: Eh?
**Billy**: Huh?
*The man in bandages walks into the room just as No. 14 falls to pieces*
*Billy and Player are focused on what happened to No. 14*
**Billy**: No.14!
**Robot No. 14**: I'm. Here.
**Robot No. 14**: I am. Not dead. Yet.
**Billy**: Hoh! You almost gave me a heart attack!
**Billy**: Why did you attack it? It hasn't finished talking.
**Player**: It wasn't me! I thought it was you!
**Odd Bandage Man**: That consciousness, that body does not belong to you! Just die!
**Billy**: ???
**Robot No. 14**: Turn. Around.
**Player**: !!!
**Billy**: How can this be?
**Billy**: It creeps me out.
**Player**: Billy, do you know him?
**Billy**: He's the one I was talking about...
**Billy**: The man wrapped from head-to-toe in bandages! The guy who jumped in the lake!
**Billy**: What is he doing here?!
**Player**: It creeps me out, too!
**Player**: When we jumped into the underwater pipes, he was standing on top of the collapsed platform watching us...
**Player**: I thought that I was just seeing illusions because I was paranoid!
**Player**: He was clearly standing in front of the door that was already open...
**Player**: Why did he come down the underwater pipes instead of going in the door?
**Billy**: Maybe he followed us here!
**Player**: He's coming toward us. What does he want?
**Billy**: He...
**Billy**: The clothes on his waist bear the symbol of the Oathblades!
**Player**: Ah? Oathblades!
**Player**: I've never seen Miles wear it!
**Billy**: Oh, if I remember correctly...
**Billy**: Only high-level leaders in the Oathblades can wear this outfit... Why is he wearing it?
*All Choices - Choice 3.1: "Could he be a leader in the Oathblades?" OR Choice 3.2: "Maybe he killed an Oathblade..."*
*No additional dialog*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Billy**: A set of clothes doesn't tell us anything.
**Billy**: There's something that doesn't seem right about him, but I don't know what it is. What is it?
**Billy**: We need to be careful!
**Player**: Ok!
**Odd Bandage Man**: Why did you mention him just now?
**Player**: Who?
**Odd Bandage Man**: Miles.
*All Choices - Choice 4.1: "So you know Miles." OR Choice 4.2: "He's my friend in the Oathblades."*
*No additional dialog*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Billy**: Hold on!
**Billy**: You...
**Billy**: That weapon on your mechanical arm...
**Billy**: My boss made it for me!
**Player**: Does he know Turing?
**Billy**: I could never mistake the boss's emblem!
**Billy**: The boss would only make weapons for someone he's familiar with. He'd never give someone a weapon for money!
**Player**: Then he...?
**Billy**: Then he should be one of us!
**Player**: Ah? Aren't you jumping to conclusions?
**Billy**: Of course. If you have doubts, you are disrespecting my boss!
**Player**: That's not what I mean, but...
**Odd Bandage Man**: How did you get in here?
**Player**: ...
**Player**: (Should we answer him?)
**Billy**: We picked up a Shadow device and stepped on a portal platform, and then found ourselves here!
**Billy**: How did you get in here?
**Billy**: Didn't you jump in the pond?
**Odd Bandage Man**: Why are you here?
**Player**: ...
*All Choices - Choice 5.1: "We're just trying to find a way out." OR Choice 5.2: "We're here to find the Metal Nexus."*
*No additional dialog*
*Conversation continues after choices*
**Billy**: Why are you here? Did Kitty rescue you and bring you here?
**Odd Bandage Man**: How do you all know Turing?
**Billy**: He's my boss. I used to be his assistant!
**Billy**: Allow me to introduce you to my boss's friend.
**Billy**: We were sent here by the boss to do something!
**Billy**: How about you?
**Billy**: How do you know the boss?
**Billy**: You can answer that question, right?
*The odd bandage man runs a little farther into the sewers*
**Billy**: Hey! Why are you so rude!
**Billy**: If only I'd known, I wouldn't have answered your questions!
**Odd Bandage Man**: ...
**Odd Bandage Man**: I'm not answering your questions, mortal.
**Player**: !!!
*The odd bandage man runs away*
**Billy**: Are we going to chase that bandaged weirdo?
*Choice 6.1 - Let's chase him.*
**Player**: That freak asked us all the things he wanted to know but wouldn't answer ours. We need to catch him up and get some answers!
**Billy**: Hold on...
**Billy**: I wonder how No.14 is doing...
*Choice 6.2 - Let's not.*
**Player**: That freak doesn't seem to have any beef with us. We should just go our separate ways!
**Billy**: Ok.
**Billy**: Since we're not in a rush to chase him, let's go say goodbye to No.14.
*Scene continues after choices*
*Player speaks to No. 14*
**Robot No. 14**: Is there. Something else. I. Can. Help you with?
**Robot No. 14**: Talking... quickly. Consume. Energy. Please. Help. Me.
**Player**: ...
**Player**: Ok.
*Choices start #2*
*Choice 7.1 - How do we get to the Metal Nexus?*
**Robot No. 14**: Find. Elevator.
*Go back to Choices start #2*
*Choice 7.2 - Where does the Underground Pipe go?*
**Robot No. 14**: Shadow. Factory.
*Go back to Choices start #2*
*Choice 7.3 - Thank you.*
**Robot No. 14**: The scrapped chest. Next. To the side. Has...
**Player**: I didn't hear you, what did you say?
**Billy**: No.14's all out of power. He won't work anymore.
**Billy**: He didn't finish saying what he wanted to say. Now he'll never get the chance.
**Billy**: Do you want to go check out the chest before we go?
*Scene continues after choices*
*Player examines the chest*
*The chest has a complicated password setup.*
**Chest**: [Input Password]
*Player puts in the password, 1-13-4*
**Chest**: Password confirmed. Opening chest...
*Inside the chest are 10 Rune Pack Tickets*
**Billy**: No.13 and No.14 were inseparable. Nothing could pull them apart.
**Billy**: Before, I wanted to take No.14 with us so I could repair him, but... they never wanted to be apart.
**Player**: They gave us such a precious gift and message, but we didn't have time to thank them.
**Player**: Since this pipe goes to the Shadow Factory, and the factory needs to be near a Nexus to infuse, it's bound to be near the Metal Nexus...
**Player**: It looks like if we want to get to the Metal Nexus, we have to go through the Shadow Factory!
**Player**: Let's keep going!
*Billy and Player walk farther in the sewers and encounter another room*
*The bandage man is in the back of the room*
*He is surrounded by multiple dead Shadow monsters*
**Player**: Huh? What happened here?
**Billy**: Shadows? This strange guy encountered some Shadows?
**Billy**: Anyway, he killed all of them. What's he standing over there for?
**Player**: We just let him pass and go on up ahead, and now he's clearing out the way for us!
**Billy**: He doesn't seem to feel well. He's trembling.
**Player**: Hey, are you okay?
**Odd Bandage Man**: Quick...
**Player**: Quick?
**Billy**: Let's get over there. It looks like he needs help!
*Billy and Player walk towards the man but more Shadow monsters appear*
**Billy**: Huh? Trap set by Shadow?
**Player**: Let's break through first!
*The two defeat all of the monsters*
**Billy**: Whew… too many traps here!
**Odd Bandage Man**: Get…
**Player**: Get what? Anything you need?
**Odd Bandage Man**: Get out.
**Player**: Eh??
**Odd Bandage Man**: Stay away from me!
**Billy**: Regard a goodwill as a malice!
**Billy**: Hey，you are in my way. Step aside so we can get out.
*Shadow flux from the dead Shadow monsters starts to get absorbed by the bandaged man*
**Player**: Billy Watch Out! Don't go there!
**Odd Bandage Man**: I don't need this power. No!!!
*The man stands up, laughing crazily*
**Odd Bandage Man**: Ahhhhh!
**Player**: !!!
*The man turns towards Billy and Player*
**Odd Bandage Man**: Why do you wanna die?
**Billy**: He... He...!
**Player**: Need beat him awake?
**Billy**: Hang on is pretty much!
*Player and Billy fend off the bandaged man's attacks*
*The man calms down*
**Billy**: You scared me.
**Player**: He seems to have calmed down. Doesn't seem so scary now!
**Billy**: This guy has the nerve to use one of the boss's weapons against me?!
**Player**: He's got some power of the Shadow on him, but he doesn't seem like a Shadow...
**Billy**: Ah, I hope he's not!
**Billy**: Otherwise, he'll have single-handedly ruined the boss's good name!
**Player**: Uh oh...
**Player**: Hey, you were just fighting against Shadow power in your own body. You accidentally inhaled some Shadow aura and went out of control, right?
**Odd Bandage Man**: (Extremely uncomfortable, bracing) That's... none of your business!
**Odd Bandage Man**: You saw what I was like when I killed.
**Odd Bandage Man**: I'm not a good person. Don't get too close to me.
**Odd Bandage Man**: Shadows, Robots, Gyees... I'll kill anyone who gets in my way.
**Billy**: ...
**Player**: I disagree. You didn't try to kill us.
**Player**: You're in pain because you used so much strength trying to control your murderous impulses.
**Odd Bandage Man**: I'm like that pile of scrapped machines you saw earlier - I'm gradually losing my ability to control my body.
**Odd Bandage Man**: Sparing you two...
**Odd Bandage Man**: Was my way of repaying Turing for this arm.
**Billy**: What?
**Player**: I may not know what's wrong with your body, but...
**Odd Bandage Man**: There's no 'but'!
**Odd Bandage Man**: Spare me your pity.
**Odd Bandage Man**: You may think it's compassion, but it's not - it's a sense of superiority!
**Odd Bandage Man**: I have self-awareness, but no freedom. I cannot live and I cannot die.
**Odd Bandage Man**: You will never be able to empathize with that pile of machines!
**Odd Bandage Man**: Finish what you came here to do.
**Odd Bandage Man**: And then leave!
**Odd Bandage Man**: If you bother me again...
**Odd Bandage Man**: I will not spare your lives!
**Player**: ...
*A large mechanical sound like gears whirring goes off*
**Odd Bandage Man**: !!!
**Odd Bandage Man**: There's still time...
*The man runs away*
**Billy**: Hey, where are you running off to?
**Billy**: You need to answer our questions before you go!
**Billy**: Should we chase him this time?
*Choice 8.1 - Let's chase him.*
**Billy**: Okay!
*Choice 8.2 - Give up...*
**Player**: We need to get out of here either way. More monsters will show up any minute. The fighting will never end!
**Player**: Anyway, the way back is blocked off. Let's catch up to him. Seems like he knows the way to the factory!
**Billy**: Okay!
*Scene continues after choices*
*Billy and Player continue further*
*Continue to Chapter 14*
