Tartarus - Emergency Stairs
 |
Whew... At least we got through that unscathed. |
 |
All the Phantoms that had awakened were rather small. |
 |
Yeah. Even I could've taken them with one hand tied behind my back... Maybe. |
|
Don't get cocky now. We were told the Phantoms could grow more formidable the further down we go. We need to stay sharp. I will say we gained one insight from this. The brothers may have control of the island... But even they're not capable of unfreezing all the Phantoms at once. |
Epel & Rook |
!! |
|
That's very true... If they could, then they would've already won. |
|
Exactly. Think back to earlier, when the researchers brought the Phantoms out for testing. Judging by what the announcement said... I don't think they use any specific equipment to unfreeze the Phantoms in the containment facilities. |
Flashback Start
PA System |
Testing of Subjects ROS-859A and SUS-3320B will commence at 1300. Currently thawing Phantom subjects' cages. The facility will go into full lockdown for the duration of the test to ensure the safety of all personnel. All personnel, please return to your stations immediately. |
Flashback End
|
Think of Tartarus like a giant freezer. You wouldn't put a microwave inside of a freezer, would you? |
|
Oh, I get it. So basically, they've just unplugged the freezer and are waiting for stuff to thaw out? |
|
Yes. Which means they couldn't act right now even if they wanted to. I'm starting to suspect all these games and chats are just a smokescreen. They're trying to distract us from the fact that they're stalling for time. |
|
So in essence, they're not actually making a game out of this. |
|
That's my take. Heh... I must say, though. Ortho's been putting on quite the villainous performance. It seems to me he could drop all this nonsense about resetting the world and start an acting career. There aren't many child actors who can play convincing villains. |
|
What would you think of inviting him to join the Film Research Club when we get back to school, Vil? |
|
I think you might be onto something there. Now then, let's hurry on. |
I know I designed it for first-time players, but maybe I made the difficulty too easy. |
| No worries. The Titans will wake up soon. |
| These are the original Phantoms we're talking about. They're in a league of their own. I'm making good progress on unsealing the Underworld gate, too. It's easy to get into the Underworld, but once you're in, there's no getting out. It's a one-way door that's sealed tighter than a tomb...and I'm gonna pry it open from the inside. |
Everyone's gonna be so surprised when I make my return. I can't wait to see that... Heh heh... Heh heh heh... |
Tartarus - Emergency Stairs
|
...Hm? Something's coming up the stairs. |
|
It looks small. You think that's Grim? HEY, GR—mph! |
|
Epel, no! That isn't Grim. It's about 10 centimeters shorter than he is! |
|
Well, it's coming this way now! Ready yourselves! |
Battle!
