📍 Jarilo-VI Rivet Town

Gepard

Topaz disappeared after leaving Rivet Town. In her absence, her subordinates flooded in and took over.

Himeko

The IPC soldiers are well-equipped — it wouldn't be wise to fight them head-on. Captain, what do you have in mind?

Gepard

You're right, Miss Himeko. We'll be using the Automaton Stealth Bomb to cover our tracks.

March 7th

Automaton... Stealth Bomb?

Gepard

I'll explain later. Let's get moving.

March 7th

Wow! We wiped them all out in a single explosion! That's what you call efficiency!

Gepard

It's a shame we had to resort to this method, but we had no choice.

March 7th

You Silvermane Guards sure are a righteous bunch...

Himeko

I've seen standard-issue robots like these before. It's an IPC field Team Leader.

Gepard

Correct — the exterior is similar to the Grizzly, but its weapons and armor are more advanced.

Gepard

Hopefully, the Automaton Stealth Bomb will still be effective. {NICKNAME}, let me know when you're ready.

Use the Automaton Stealth Bomb and clear the obstruction

Follow along the town's roads and head to Topaz's location

March 7th

Woohoo! The coast is clear!

Gepard

To be honest, I didn't think it would be so powerful... Good thing everything went according to plan.

Gepard

This is the road that Topaz took when she left Rivet Town.

Himeko

Let's find her and tell her about Bronya's decision.

This time, the gloves are off!

Is this really the right place...? It's so quiet all of a sudden.

March 7th

This atmosphere really feels strange... Are you sure Topaz is here?

March 7th

Wow... I didn't expect to find a place like this in the Underworld!

March 7th

I wonder why Topaz would come to a place like this...

Find and confront Topaz

March 7th

Mr Svarog! Are you alright? I hope Topaz and her IPC henchmen didn't hurt you.

Svarog

Greetings, outsiders. System functions are normal — I have had no conflict with the IPC's representatives.

Options

I thought we might be facing off against each other for a moment.

Svarog

Such a result would be highly undesirable.

Svarog

Topaz is ahead. She had the means to force me to comply with her orders, but chose not to.

Svarog

From her perspective, the only way to "preserve" Belobog is by incorporating it into the IPC. While I do not agree with her viewpoint, I lack the computational power to provide evidence to the contrary.

Svarog

While it is unlikely, I still encourage the avoidance of any potential conflicts.

March 7th

"Unlikely, potential..." meaning there could still be conflicts...

Himeko

Don't worry, March. The Express never pursues conflict as a first means... but if it comes down to it, we won't back down either. That's how it's always been.

March 7th

Himeko's right. As long as we can look at ourselves in the mirror and know we did the right thing, that's all that matters.
