Seele
Is Bronya really safe?
Serval
You care about her, huh. You must have become close friends.
Seele
Close is... a bit much. But I made her a promise...
Serval
Relax, she's the strongest girl I've ever seen.
Seele
Mm... I can believe that.
Trick the guard and get into the restricted zone
📍 Jarilo-VI Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone
After avoiding the watchful eye of the Silvermane Guard, you finally arrive at the entrance to the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone. The Silvermane Guards here are armed to the teeth and hostile. In comparison, the Silvermane Guards patrolling the city appear to be extremely lazy...
However, you notice that they seem significantly less hostile after seeing Serval.
Perhaps this will allow you to turn the tide. Give it a try!

They've jacked up security alright... how the heck are we gonna sneak in? Serval, we need one of those brainwaves.
Serval
Leave it to me. Stick close guys, and don't get spotted.

MoveSilvermane Guard
This is a military base. Trespassers aren't allowed in.
Silvermane Guard
Wait, isn't that... Ah! Serval! Long time no see!
Serval
Well, if it isn't Franz, long time no see! You're still watching the entrance?
Franz
Well you see, I... Bah, you haven't changed Serval. Still nailing us to the wall...
Franz
So... what brings you over here at this hour? And who are the guys behind you?
Serval
My brother said the restricted zone energy lines were malfunctioning — told me it was urgent. He doesn't trust those contracted maintenance workers... so he got me in for free.
Serval
These guys are my assistants. We need to overhaul all the installations here.
Franz
Uh... I didn't hear anything about the energy lines malfunctioning...
Serval
Oh please, this is a Technology Division issue. Why would they tell you guys? Come on, let us in already. If the heating system goes down in the middle of the night, are you gonna be responsible for all the frozen corpses?
Franz
N—No, that's uh, not something I could handle...
Franz
Seeing as you're Captain Gepard's sister, it should be fine...
Franz
Okay, here are some temporary passes... Oh, and remember to give them back to me when you leave.
Serval
Thanks, Franz. I'll put in a good word for you with my brother and get him to promote you!
Franz
No, no, Captain Gepard hates all that under-the-table stuff. I'd have a better chance if you don't mention me at all...
🏃♂️
MoveServal
See! That was easy.
March 7th
You're Gepard's sister alright...
Serval
Hmph, I don't want people to see me that way... I'm doing this for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be using my brother's name.
Take a look at the restricted zone from up high
After avoiding the watchful eye of the Silvermane Guard, you finally arrive at the entrance to the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone. The Silvermane Guards here are armed to the teeth and hostile. In comparison, the Silvermane Guards patrolling the city appear to be extremely lazy...
However, you notice that they seem significantly less hostile after seeing Serval. With the help of a Landau, no obstacles stood in your way at the Silvermane Guard Restricted Zone.
You're still not familiar with the area yet. Find a vantage point to observe the terrain.

Do you see that mechanical gear bridge? When you cross over to the other side, you arrive at hell on earth.
Options
So what exactly is on the other side?
And what's this "hell" like exactly?
The Architects follow Qlipoth. Do they believe in hell?
Serval
An endless Fragmentum, a few exhausted Silvermane Guards... and the stench of death in the air.
Serval
Hm... It's a place too cold to bear, covered in snow and ice. The guys doing the scientific research don't have time to worry about the surroundings.
Serval
The restricted zone front line is on the other side of the gear bridge. It's an endless Fragmentum with a few exhausted Silvermane Guards... and the stench of death in the air.
Serval
They do. The Architects believe that hell can exist on any world — a plight that will inevitably come to be without intervention.
Serval
In the future, a terrible catastrophe will arrive. If, under Qlipoth the Preservation's guidance, we fail to construct a barrier, that catastrophe will sweep away the stars, plunging all worlds into hell.
Serval
That's the belief of the Architects... but for us, hell is an endless Fragmentum, a few exhausted Silvermane Guards... and the stench of death in the air.
Serval
If we want to progress further north, we will need to cross that hell. Are you ready?
Options
We've come this far...
Without hardships to overcome, there is no trailblazing.
It's never too late to retreat...
March 7th
Exactly, we've got nowhere left to retreat.
March 7th
Right on! I'm stealing that!
March 7th
Look how far we've come! Don't chicken out on us now.
Serval
Haha, let's go then. First, we need to think of a way to get to the other side.
Serval
I helped set the underlying mechanisms for this type of gear bridge. It's controlled via different terminals in combination. Let's go find them.
March 7th
Is Gepard on front line duty a lot?
Serval
Yes, but what made you ask that all of a sudden?
March 7th
It's so dangerous, don't you worry about him?
Serval
He's a Landau.
Find and operate the gear bridge terminal
The gear bridge is located in the center of the restricted zone. On the other side of the gear bridge is what Serval described as "hell"... And that is exactly where you need to go.
But before that, you must use the gear bridge terminal to connect the two sides.
Serval tells you that there is more than just one terminal. Go and look for them in the restricted zone!

MoveServal
Argh...
Serval
Nope... this terminal is offline, we can't control it from here.
Seele
So what's the plan?
Serval
Look for another — every platform linked to the gear bridge should have a similar terminal.
March 7th
I never would've guessed that Gepard and you were brother and sister.
Serval
I can't say I blame you — we're nothing alike in personality or interests.
Serval
In our family we have a strong military tradition going back generations — many a Landau has died in their prime. There's not a lot of "brother and sister time." Everyone just does their best to get on with their life.

Unfortunately, the first terminal you found seems to be offline. Try finding another terminal in the restricted zone!

MoveServal
...Darn, can't activate it. It seems like someone's severed the energy supply to the terminals.
Options
So someone's deliberately trying to create trouble?
Are the Guards doing this intentionally?
Did we do this?
Serval
I... huh. Y'know, the more I think about it, the more it seems deliberate.
Serval
I was just thinking that, we can't rule it out.
Serval
What are you talking about...?
Serval
I think the Guards must have done this intentionally.
Serval
With the front line on high alert, they must have rotated the bridge to make it impassable. Then they cut off the energy supply to the terminals to avoid accidental repositioning... or to prevent deserters from escaping.
Serval
That way, even if the front line were to collapse... the Fragmentum monsters wouldn't be able to make it to the other side.
Options
They cut off their only retreat...
That's terrible.
Wise tactics.
Seele
...
Seele
Bronya was right... The Silvermane Guards really are risking their lives to protect Belobog.
Serval
Just my conjecture, but I doubt it's far from the truth. My brother mentioned that they've had to use extreme measures to repel the Fragmentum monsters.
Serval
Let's press on. We can't activate either of these terminals, so let's look for the energy supply installation itself.
Find the energy hub of the gear bridge terminals
The gear bridge is located in the center of the restricted zone. On the other side of the gear bridge is what Serval described as "hell"... And that is exactly where you need to go.
But before that, you must use the gear bridge terminal to connect the two sides.
Unfortunately, all terminals you were able to find don't seem to be working. Looks like you'll have to head to the energy hub that powers them to find out.

MoveServal
That's it! The thing shaped like a giant iron ball.
March 7th
And it's behind a gate. What are the odds...
Serval
Its formal name is the "mechanism energy hub." It's connected to all the energy lines — I would've thought it covers the entire restricted zone.
Dan Heng
Mm... no wonder it's so heavily guarded.
Seele
One unit for everything? That's a disaster waiting to happen — we learned the hard way.
Serval
As long as we can gain access permissions to the hub, we can operate the gear bridge terminals.
Options
Won't this cause a commotion...?
Won't the Guards get suspicious?
Serval
That's why I told them we were here for urgent maintenance! The front line equipment needs servicing just as much as the rest.
March 7th
So that's why you went for maintenance, way to go Serval! I thought you just came up with it on the spot.
Serval
Come on, let's see if that guard over there will let us past.
Convince the Silvermane Guard watching the energy hub and enter the energy hub
Serval brings you to the energy hub, but there is a ferocious Silvermane Guard watching the place. You can tell his expression even without being able to see the face underneath his helmet.
Will clever Serval manage to successfully use her old tricks and blend in again? You can't be sure.

Serval
Yo! Evening, soldier!
Silvermane Guard
Are you the emergency engineers? I saw you guys hanging around. Did you find the problem?
Serval
Not yet, everything looks normal so far. I think the problem is stemming from the energy hub.
Serval
If you let us in we can do a routine service inspection... I've worked on various iterations of this type of installation...
Silvermane Guard
Haha, no, no, no, no... No can do! No one gets near the energy hub without the security captain's encryption key.
March 7th
Uh, not even the supreme guardian?
Silvermane Guard
The supreme guardian...? Hey, no games, y'hear? No dice without the encryption key!
March 7th
Darn, this guy's not stupid...
Serval
You need the encryption key, right? Which captain should I bother then?
Silvermane Guard
...Captain Dunn's resting up ahead. Go and find him. If he grants you permission, I won't stand in your way.
Serval
Dunn... Dunn? Ha, why didn't you say so! No problem. We'll be back in a bit.
Dunn
I heard Gepard sent mechanics for an emergency repair?
Silvermane Guard
Yes, I confirmed it with Franz.
Dunn
I've been keeping watch here all day, why didn't I hear about any equipment in need of emergency servicing?
Silvermane Guard
I heard from Franz that it's Captain Gepard's sister...
Dunn
S—Serval!?
Dunn
...You gotta be kidding me, I haven't showered in two days... do I smell?
Silvermane Guard
...N—No, sir!
Find Silvermane Captain Dunn
Serval brings you to the energy hub, but there is a ferocious Silvermane Guard watching the place. You can tell his expression even without being able to see the face underneath his helmet.
Clever Serval repeats her tricks but is unable to elicit the desired reaction from the soldier... With no other options left, let's try to find that Dunn person that the soldier mentioned.
Serval seems to be an acquaintance of the captain — Maybe it will be far easier than the previous encounters?
