Chaos In the Deep

Use a fake identity to get past security check

📍 Herta Space Station Base Zone

The woman sauntering elegantly across the invasion site is a mystery. She mocks the victims, while also ruthlessly eliminating their oppressors.
Over their comms, the mysterious helper revealed that the two seem to have some sort of agenda.
Is their presence a sign of more chaos to come? Or is it the start of a new story?

23:47:15 system time. Very punctual, Kafka.

Kafka
{RUBY_B#Stellaron Hunter}Elio{RUBY_E#} always tells the exact future. So what's with the explosion just now? Was that also part of his script?
???
???
Uh-huh — "23:44:59 system time: The pulses from the explosion cause a massive breakdown from the master control system."
Kafka
Kafka
You did that?
???
???
No, the Antimatter Legion did it. They completely invaded the space station two system hours ago.
Kafka
Kafka
*whistle* Alright, so do we need to fight the Legion?
???
???
I dunno. Elio didn't say anything about it, so it doesn't matter.
Kafka
Kafka
Got it. So from now on, I'll be in charge of this operation.
???
???
Copy. Can you let me have some fun this time? Our last few operations turned out to be pretty dull.
Kafka
Kafka
...Sorry, I'm afraid there's not much I can do for you — our task this time is just to "place" the target properly.
Kafka
Kafka
But if you wanna go look for some fun yourself, I won't stop you. I mean, after all...

Venture further following the route provided by Silver Wolf

The woman's helper emerges from the darkness and steps forward. This young-looking girl seems to have found the information she was looking for in the space station's database.
The target is the room in the depths of the corridor.
"Is that where the Stellaron is?" "It can tell us where the Stellaron is."
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
The central area of the space station is up ahead. There will be lots of Legion Voidrangers there.

Assist Silver Wolf with investigating the terminals in the Monitoring Room

The two arrive at the Monitoring Room to find a maze left by the absent space station's owner.
"Using a Curio to hide another Curio sounds like something she would do."
But oftentimes, knowing the way does not equate to knowing how it ends.

I can see the whole space station on the surveillance screen... but not the Stellaron.
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
Even if you could, it'd be a trap. Herta doesn't display her collections.
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
Help me investigate the terminal in this room, our item might be inside.

Kafka
Kafka
Huh? I can't see the memory storage for this terminal...
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
This is the monitoring room, they must have deleted the records and made a run for it. Classic.
Silver Wolf

Help me investigate the terminal in this room, our item might be inside.

Kafka
Kafka
When did the Antimatter Legion become so weak?
???
???
I could only attract this much. Did you really want the entire Legion to come here?
Kafka
Kafka
This lot won't be able to slow down the Astral Express crew.
???
???
Relax. A Doomsday Beast is also here.

However, Silver Wolf seems to have already understood it all.

Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
*sigh* Make your way over here then, there's no point in trying to search like this.
Kafka
Kafka
So, got a master plan? I'm all ears.
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
It's a matter of hacking the surveillance system directly.
Kafka
Kafka
Aha, I see. Herta's collections aren't in the system, so anything unaffected should be our target.
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
Simple, crude, but effective. Look, found it.

Interact with the Curio to unravel the secret in the Monitoring Room

Investigate
Kafka
Kafka
Huh. What's this?
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
Item number 211, "Blind Spot": A simple light-deflecting field. It allows an object in its field to pass unnoticed, but if a different item ceases to be obvious, the object gets revealed.
Kafka
Kafka
So Herta hides her collection with something as simple as this?
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
The simplest method is the hardest to spot, isn't that our motto?

Silver Wolf is nodding her head, seems it's not that simple

Kafka
Kafka
*whistle* Strange thing number two...
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
The data suggests it's just an ordinary hologram. But it has an added layer...
Kafka
Kafka
Let's take a look. Don't worry, this place won't be our grave.

She said something strange will happen if you touch the screen

Get the Stellaron with Silver Wolf's help

In the end, the woman slowly reaches out her hand toward the Stellaron.
She is well aware she is not the protagonist of this story.
Well then, the preparations have been made. It's time to wake up and set off on your journey.
Kafka
Kafka
Interesting, she's a member of the Genius Society alright.
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
The Stellaron is up ahead, let's hurry.

Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
It has its own security system... I guess even for Herta, a Stellaron is no ordinary rarity.
Kafka
Kafka
Can you get it?
Silver Wolf
Silver Wolf
Of course, even the genius Herta can't compete with me when it comes to hacking.
Kafka
Kafka
Good, then I'll also count on you with the preparation of the receptacle.
