[In the middle of a restless night, Akechi addresses the radio.]

One thing has become abundantly clear since my arrival: the vast majority of us hail from different times, if not different worlds.

[He pauses, letting that sink in.]

For instance, I'm from Japan in the year 2017. However, it is specifically the same version of Japan shared by Akihiko Sanada and Naoto Shirogane... in the future. That places the three of us in a shared reality, but not the same point in time.

However, our version of Japan has endured a number of odd, even supernatural occurrences, such as a "Dark Hour" and, more recently, the vigilante work of a group of "Phantom Thieves" who quite literally changed the hearts of wicked adults through the use of a parallel, cognitive world.

[His voice remains calm, if tinged with a subtle weariness.]

But that is far from universal. In my time here, I have encountered a talking turtle from a world where yokai and mutants are real. I've spoken with someone who had been sent into a digital world, like an isekai protagonist. I even had to explain the concept of religion to Serph-san, as well what a horse is.

[...]

All this to say, it may be worthwhile to cross reference the worlds and time periods we hail from. If nothing else, it may help us discern patterns that could in turn heighten our understanding of our present circumstances.

Wait, you were a cop?

[This is some unexpected lore.]

[Wow, he doesn't sound happy to have been famous. That's pretty different from Leo's experience.]

Well, what's wrong with that?

It would be nice to not just be about living it... perhaps we will find some fiction while we're here.

[Even if it's a long shot, it'd still be an interesting quest.]

Maybe we are all protagonists. It is an ensemble cast and we all must work together to win the day.

[Jack: source of intentional optimism.]

[Personally SecUnit still suspects that most of these people are from seeded colonies that have been abandoned but survived for just long enough that their arrival on their home planet has become a matter of fable, rather than of direct personal memory - but the evidence is mounting up against that theory in a way it doesn't want to sit down and quantify just yet.

But that second point is by far the more immediate concern.]


What else did Roger say about it.

I guess now we just need to figure out who the real villain is. It is often a surprise, in the good shows.

[Maybe he's being slightly less serious, there. Real life isn't like television. (Har har).]

[Yeah that definitely sounds like the plot of some show.]

Doesn't sound familiar. As far as I know no one's had a war about cloning.

Or a machine we need to dismantle. Or an ordinary cult, which will be a lot of people to deal with, probably with some kind of magic to be causing the changes.

Oh, I hope there's no fighting. I am no good at fighting.

[ That's not something Shadow had considered, but... ]

... You're right. Even though the roads are in bad shape, we haven't had to double back. It's like it already knows the best route to take.

I am fairly sure there is a cult involved somewhere. I just do not know if they are the ones behind this convoy. The... the religious messages from the shrines, they seem to be suggesting the opposite than what the messages from the convoy are saying.

Ah, I don't know. I am not good at politics, either. Just talking with people.

[It thinks, but doesn't say, that the only part of that the Corporation Rim would fight over would be whether they could make cloning proprietary.]

Anything else you need for your dataset?

Hey, knowing how to be charming isn't a bad thing!

[Leo is the faceman, he knows all about it!]

Serving a corrupt conspiracy... not so much.
