Butterfly's Flutter-By 蝶翼轻启

At the Oasis, inside Antonina's antique electronics store.绿洲，安冬妮娜的老式电器店内。

In the darkness, the only light is the ghostly blue radiance coming from a computer screen.一片漆黑的房间中，只有电子屏幕发出幽幽的蓝光。

Antonina...Should I be using a model 790-B motherboard here? Doesn't seem right...……这里应该组装的是790-B型的主板吗？总感觉有点奇怪。

AntoninaMaybe it's because I'm missing a few parts... Ahhhhhhh seriously! It's such a damn pain! I have to put this stupid PC together by guesswork because there's no info on it in the database!应该还缺了一些零件……啊真是的！数据库里没有资料也太让人头痛了，这不就完全只能靠猜测来组装电脑了吗！

AntoninaIf only someone who understood antique computers would suddenly show up in front of me... (sigh)要是能突然出现一个对老式电脑很了解的人就好了……唉……

小型熵Kikiki!唧唧唧！

AntoninaUwah, what the heck! So that's where you were.呜哇，吓我一跳！原来你还在这里啊。

AntoninaLook, I'm not in the mood to play with you, at least not until I put this together... Hey, don't eat that!我现在可没有耐心陪你玩，至少要等这部分组装好……喂喂，那个零件可不能吃啊！

Antonina frantically rescues a part from the tentacles of the Diminutive Entropic and then picks it up before plopping the little critter on her hat.安冬妮娜手忙脚乱地从小型熵的触手下抢救出了一个零件，将小型熵提了起来，顺手放在自己的帽子上。

AntoninaJust wait up there and be good. (Groan) Why do you keep plastering yourself to me, anyway...你还是在这里好好待着吧。唉，为什么总是黏着我啊……

AntoninaI'm a high-end network security Doll! But now, not only am I a nanny, I can't even fix this PC from the turn of the century! Could anything feel worse...我可是高级网络安全工程人形！结果现在不仅要被迫当保姆，连这台二十一世纪初的电脑都还原不了。这种挫败感……

AntoninaIf only the cloud hadn't been disconnected from reality, I'd be able to look up relevant data even for a 50-year-old antique PC.要是云端没有和现实断连就好了，就算是五十多年前的电子设备，现实里应该也有相关的资料吧。

小型熵Kiki!唧唧！

AntoninaAlright, alright, quiet down; I'm almost done! Now all I need is to infuse some operands into it...好啦别着急，马上就组装完毕了！接下来只要再输入一些算量来驱动……

Antonina's hands keep moving until every piece is in its place. A white PC sits serenely in the middle of the scattered parts.安冬妮娜手上的动作丝毫未慢，直到将各个部分拼装完毕，一台白色的台式机静静地坐在纷乱的零件之间。

AntoninaWhile it's not complete, logically speaking I should be able to boot it up... Ugh, why am I feeling so tense...虽说还不是完全形态，但照理来说应该已经可以启动了……咕，总感觉有点紧张啊。

AntoninaI can't believe I spent so long on something that was merely a passing interest. So please work, dammit...!明明只是基于兴趣做的东西，居然耗费了这么久，一定要成功啊……！

Antonina—Come on, work, damn you!——来吧，给我启动！

As she pushes the power button, the old cogs begin to turn, and the computer begins to hum. Its once-dark monitor slowly begins glowing with blue light...随着电源键的按下，老旧的齿轮啮合转动，嗡嗡作响，原先漆黑的显示屏幕缓缓散发出幽蓝荧光。

Antonina—Wait, did it work?——成功了？

However, what greets Antonina is once again a return to darkness. Just as the monitor starts showing alert overloads, the old computer before her begins to groan under the strain.然而回应安冬妮娜的是再度黯淡的画面。随着屏幕上弹出正在加载的提示，面前的复古电脑发出悲鸣。

...Now installing OS. Please do not shut down your PC. Your PC will automatically reboot...……正在安装系统，请不要关闭电脑，你的电脑即将重启……

...Update complete. Your PC will now reboot...……正在更新，你的电脑将再次重启……

...Your PC may reboot several times...……你的电脑将进行数次重启……

AntoninaHow many times does it need to reboot, anyway?! This thing is way too slow!……怎么又要重启啊！这开机速度也太慢了！

AntoninaDoors 2007? What kind of ancient OS is this, anyway? It bluescreens way too often.Doors 2007？这什么老旧的操作系统，蓝屏的次数也太多了吧。

小型熵Ki...唧……

AntoninaYou think so too, right? How the hell did people even manage to live in the Noughties anyway, spending hours as their computers overloaded...你也觉得是吧？二十一世纪初的人类到底过着怎样的生活啊，每天花费几个小时等待电脑加载吗……

AntoninaAh, forget it. I'll just surf Oasischan while I wait.算了，还是趁等待的时间来逛逛绿洲匿名版吧。

Antonina pushes the computer aside as it reboots and quickly logs onto the Oasis forums. The diminutive Entropic creeps up to the screen in perfect harmony as it whiles away the time with her.安冬妮娜将来回重启加载的老式电脑放到一旁，熟练地在自己的设备上登录了绿洲内网论坛。小型熵默契地凑到屏幕前，开始和安冬妮娜一起打发时间。

[Oasis Patrol Report No.47]【绿洲巡逻汇报No.47】

AntoninaI just finished patrolling the entire Oasis...刚刚完成了绿洲的整体巡逻……

Shy Miko I just finished patrolling the entire Oasis. All facilities in the Sector are in good condition and I detected no signs of Entropic activity. @Shy Miko I've made several such circuits since I joined. The work is not boring, but the lack of company makes it somewhat lonely. @Shy Miko A friend recommended that I post here to look for others who think the way I do, and so I hope I can find colleagues of like mind to go on patrols with me.怕生巫女刚刚完成了绿洲的整体巡逻，扇区内所有的安全装置状况良好无异常，未发现熵的活动痕迹。

怕生巫女自加入以来，例行每日安全巡逻已有数周，虽不觉枯燥，但难逃一路无言的寂寞。

怕生巫女在友人的推荐下特在此处发帖询问征集同好，希望能找到志同道合的巡逻伙伴。

@VCPD-7VCPD-7 You're doing this on your own? Most admirable. @I'm writing it I'm writing it I smell inspiration! Buuuut I don't feel like heading outside... If only inspiration would grow in dark rooms like a mushroom... @Hungry Snake Takes On All Comers+v Reposting for visibility. You'll probably be able to hear a lot of interesting stories if you went on patrol with her. I'd do it myself if I didn't have a field assignment. Also to the previous poster: no raising mushrooms in your room!自发的巡逻吗？值得称赞。

@在写了在写了素材的气息！但想到要出门还是算了……要是灵感能像蘑菇一样从阴暗的房间里长出来就好了……

@贪吃蛇挑战请+v帮楼主宣传一波。一起巡逻的话能听到不少有趣的故事，要不是我有外勤任务的话就自己上了。ps楼上不准在房间里养蘑菇！！！

Not Accepting Fish-Related Confessions I'm interested in patrolling. Can I sign up now? @Shy Miko It would be an honor! I did not think I would actually find a companion here. I will be in your care.不接鱼相关的忏悔巡逻的话我有兴趣，现在可以报名加入吗？

怕生巫女非常荣幸！没想到真的能找到同行的伙伴，从今以后还请您多多指教了。

Not Accepting Fish-Related Confessions There's no need to stand on ceremony. Do you need a gun? I can lend you one, so you can send suspicious types to meet the Lord. @Shy Miko Ah, my patrols are rarely so aggressive, but I could carry one if you'd like, Fish-sama... @Not Accepting Fish-Related Confessions Let's talk about it in private.不接鱼相关的忏悔不用这么客气。需要带枪吗？我给你也带上一把，遇到可疑的家伙就可以直接送他见上帝了。

怕生巫女啊，我所做的并非如此严酷的巡逻，但若是鱼大人想的话，也可以按您的兴趣带上……

不接鱼相关的忏悔还是先私聊吧。

@不接鱼相关的忏悔Not Accepting Fish-Related Confessions ...Also, don't call me Fish-sama.……对了，别叫我鱼大人。

The posts end there.帖子到此告一段落。

Antonina...Isn't that Erika's ID?这个ID……我记得是爱莉卡吧？

AntoninaA nun and a miko, hm... That's a strange combo.修女和巫女吗……还真是奇怪的组合。

AntoninaHm? There's a post titled [SOS! Help Needed Urgently!]...嗯？有个【SOS！紧急求助！】的帖子……

AntoninaLadies and gents, we have an urgent situation here...各位，现在遇到了十分紧急的状况……

Tips From All Around! Ladies and gents, we have an urgent situation here that requires me to pick your brains! @Tips From All Around! Simply put, the cafe I'm working at is super unpopular. At this rate, we won't even be able to do business, let alone collect tips! @Tips From All Around! Is there a way to turn this around? Please help me out!小费从四面八方来！ 各位，现在遇到了十分紧急的状况，不得不来集结大家的智慧寻求帮助！

小费从四面八方来！ 长话短说。现在我所经营的咖啡厅人气低迷。再这样下去别说赚取小费了，就连正常的经营都做不到了！

小费从四面八方来！ 有什么办法可以改善这个局面吗？求求大家帮忙想想！

Working For Five Please help... I can't feed everyone... @A Passing Fortune-Teller I made it onto the stream! Need me to help tell your cafe's fortune? @Bratty Streamer Is that why you went out of your way to call me out here? @Bratty Streamer Eh, it's fine. A few minutes with a popular streamer like me and the customers will be breaking down the doors to get here!一家五口打工中请求大家帮帮忙……要没钱吃饭了……

只是个路过的占卜师赶上直播了！需要我帮你占卜一下经营的方向吗？

气人主播特意把大家喊出来，就是为了这点事呀。

气人主播没关系，只要和我这个人气主播联动的话，分分钟就可以让店里爆满！

Sleepy All Year Round Why not have a buy-one-get-one-free promotion for gyutan-don? @Mecha Is Romance What if you sold a special limited-edition collab model kit in the cafe? I'd definitely go every day! @Administrator Account @Administrator Account @Bratty Streamer Aiiieeee! It's the coffee freak!春困夏乏秋盹冬眠不如举办牛舌饭买一送一的活动吧！

机甲就是浪漫在咖啡厅里卖联动机甲怎么样？那样我肯定天天来！

管理员账号如果咖啡再甜一点的话，应该能吸引到更多顾客。

气人主播呜哇！咖啡怪人出现了！

@管理员账号Administrator Account ...Coffee freak? Were you talking about me?……咖啡怪人？是说我吗？

Bratty Streamer Crap, I messed up! Good thing I'm anonym...气人主播糟了说错话了！不过还好这里匿名……

Bratty Streamer WAIT A MINUTE! HOW COME MY STREAM GOT BANNED AGAIN?!气人主播等一下，我的直播间怎么又被封了！

The thread's popularity increases along with Bratty Streamer's antics, and soon it ends up as Oasischan's thread of the day.帖子的热度随着气人主播的戏剧效果水涨船高，很快就被加入了今日的绿洲精选。

Although it has received many replies, most of them are just wisecracks and commentary. There is pretty much no usable help to be had.话题下面虽然跟帖无数，但多是插科打诨，放眼望去并没有什么值得参考的帮助。

AntoninaGood grief, it's nothing but shitposts... Looks like everyone's slacked off now that the crisis has passed.真是的，净是些没营养的帖子……看来危机过去，大家都懒散了不少啊。

AntoninaStill, I'm the same way too... I wish life would continue to be peaceful like this.不过，我也一样就是了。……这样和平的生活要是能够一直持续下去就好了。

Antonina stretches and logs into the Oasis' intranet backend management page.安冬妮娜伸了个懒腰，熟练地打开了网站的后台。

AntoninaWell, since I'm already on the intranet, I'll just go about my daily business of checking the Oasis' network security.呼，既然都打开绿洲内网了，就例行公事检查下绿洲的网络安全吧。

AntoninaLet's see, daily checks... Oasis Defender has not detected any security threats. There's been 1 attempted external access... Hm? Could it be from an external website?日志检查……发现安全隐患0项，域外网站1项……嗯？域外网站？

AntoninaWell, that's new. I haven't seen this address before... Did another sector build an intranet of their own? Or did a new sector appear?还真新鲜。从没见过的网址……其他扇区新建了内部网站吗？还是出现了新的扇区？

Antonina taps on her keyboard and tries to access it, but glaring red letters indicate that she is not welcome.安冬妮娜敲击着键盘试图访问，然而红色的醒目叉字出现将她拒之门外。

AntoninaWhat's this? Are you saying the Oasis' most caring and friendly network security assistant, Anna, is denied access?诶，绿洲最贴心的网络安全小助手安娜被拒绝访问了吗~

Antonina...Do you seriously think I would let that happen?……你觉得我会允许这种事情发生吗。

Anna's face turns serious, her hands fly over the keyboard, and she begins hacking.安冬妮娜露出认真的神色，手指在键盘上飞快敲击进行着骇入。

AntoninaWe've got a weird address out of nowhere that can't be accessed normally... Time to see how deep this rabbit hole goes.突然出现的奇怪网址，而且用通常的方式难以访问……哼哼，就让我看看葫芦里卖的什么药吧。

A moment later, the red letters disappear, and a bleak white screen appears in front of her.片刻过后，红色叉字消失，一个灰白的界面出现在少女的面前。

Antoninachannel...channel……

As Anna does a security check of the website, she quickly scrolls through the text on the screen.安冬妮娜一边对网站进行着安全排查，一边快速将页面上的信息浏览过目。

AntoninaSo it's a forum... It's got a pretty old-school design. I didn't think there were people in other sectors with the same interests as me.原来是个论坛啊……设计风格倒是挺复古的，没想到其他扇区有人和我拥有一样的爱好。

AntoninaHuh, that's a cute little mascot. So it's called an Upa? It looks like it would make a great hug pillow.啊，这个公仔看上去还挺可爱的。名字叫作乌帕吗？感觉很适合做成抱枕。

小型熵Kiki!唧唧！

AntoninaPffft, yeah, it's round and cute, just like you.噗嗤，圆滚滚的，确实长得和你有点像呢。

The diminutive Entropic shakes its head, then hops off Antonina's shoulder and lightly taps the screen with its tentacle.小型熵晃了晃脑袋，从安冬妮娜的肩膀上跳下，用触手轻轻拍了拍屏幕。

AntoninaAnd someone actually designed a fangame themed after this "Upa" mascot?居然还有人为这个叫“乌帕”的吉祥物设计了同人小游戏？

AntoninaUpa Mashup... and the developer called himself a Super Hacker. Fine, I'll see just how good your work is, "Super Hacker".《乌帕大融合》……？而且开发者居然自称超级黑客。哼，我倒是要看看“超级黑客”的作品如何。

小型熵Ki!唧！

AntoninaYou're interested too? Let's give it a try, then.你也有兴趣吗？那就来玩玩看吧。

Antonina...Is it already the 47th day? Kimie is amazing.……居然都已经第47天了吗？君惠还真了不起啊。

[SOS! Help Needed Urgently!]【SOS！紧急求助！】

Otherworldly Modulation 异界调频

AntoninaAaaaand—done!搞——定！

After seeing the pile of gigantic rare Upas on her screen, Antonina smugly cracks her somewhat stiff fingers.看着屏幕上堆在一起的超大稀有乌帕，安冬妮娜得意地活动了一下有些僵硬的手指。

AntoninaThat should be the theoretical top score. Hehe, only a genius like me could claim the top spot on the leaderboard so easily.这应该是理论上能到达的最高分了吧。哼哼，不愧是我，这样轻而易举地拿下排行榜的顶端。

小型熵Kiki!唧唧！

AntoninaThat's right, it's time to screenshot it... Wait a minute, what the hell am I doing?没错，截图截图……等等我在干嘛啊！

Antonina thumps the table, startling the diminutive Entropic, who flees back to Antonina's head.安冬妮娜猛地敲了一下桌面，小型熵一惊，跳回到安冬妮娜的头顶。

AntoninaI was supposed to investigate this weird forum, so how did I end up losing myself in this minigame...明明是要探查一下这个奇怪的论坛，怎么突然开始沉迷这种小游戏了……

AntoninaI've spent over six minutes on it... Dammit, it's so addictive because it's so simple; I need to add it to the Oasis' addiction prevention guidelines.已经过了六分钟了……可恶，这种简单易上手的形式太容易上瘾了，一定要加入绿洲防沉迷条例中。

AntoninaFortunately, it just seems to be an ordinary discussion forum so far... But I can't let myself get careless because of that. After all, there are way too many weird things here.还好根据目前的监测结果来看，这只是一个普通的论坛而已……但也不能因此掉以轻心，毕竟奇怪的地方太多了。

Antonina's gaze lands on the most recent post.安冬妮娜的目光停在了之前发布的帖子上。

AntoninaTime machine, SERN, Akihabara, John Titor... I've never heard of any of this before.时间机器、SERN、秋叶原、约翰·提托……都是闻所未闻的话题。

AntoninaMore importantly... These numbers represent the date and time of these posts, right? Which means all of these posts are from 2010, aren't they?最关键的是……这串数字应该是代表发帖时间吧？也就是说，这些都是2010年的帖子吗？

AntoninaAnd the replies keep coming in... Is this some kind of simulated real-time update based on existing data? Or... are these users agents from another sector?帖子的数量还在不断增加……是通过已有的数据模拟实时更新吗？还是说……这些用户都是其他扇区的智能体？

小型熵Ki...唧……

AntoninaThat's right, the simplest way to find out is to post something and observe how they respond to it.对了，最简单的方法——来发个帖子观察交互反应吧。

AntoninaAs for what I should post...至于话题嘛……

小型熵Kiki!唧唧！

The diminutive Entropic's tentacles keep pointing to the antique PC that keeps rebooting itself.小型熵晃动的触手指向了依旧不断重启的老式电脑。

AntoninaThat's right, something from the year 2000 or so should be in line with the trends on this forum.没错，用二十一世纪初的东西作为话题的话，应该正符合这个网站的潮流吧。

Antonina takes a picture of the old computer.安冬妮娜拍摄了一张老式电脑的图片。

AntoninaDoes anyone know how to fix this computer...有人知道这台老式电脑怎么修吗……

385: Network Security Helper2010/08/01(Sun) 16:06:01 ID:SGxNCxH01 Does anyone know how to fix this computer? It keeps rebooting itself. Any help or advice would be appreciated.385：网络安全小助手：2010/08/01（日）16:06:01 ID:SGxNCxH01 有人知道这台老式电脑怎么修吗？一直在更新重启中，提供一些信息或者思路也可以。

The moment she submits her reply, a plethora of responses come in.几乎在发出帖子的一瞬间，下面就多了数条回复。

Antonina...I have no idea what they're talking about. The mindset of this forum's users is far too different from ours.……净是一些听不懂的话，这个论坛用户的常识未免和我们差距太多了吧……

AntoninaStill, I've learned a few useful things. Japan's Akihabara, the "Lab", time machines... In any case, I should try asking more about them.不过多少也算是获得了一些有用信息。日本秋叶原，“LAB”，时间机器……总之，再详细问问看吧。

Just as Antonina is about to move her cursor, the familiar red letters pop up in front of her again.就在安冬妮娜准备移动光标的时候，熟悉的红色叉字再次出现。

AntoninaAccess failed? [User has been logged out]?访问失败？【账号已被登出】？

AntoninaDid they discover my intrusion? Well, since they blocked my access, I'll just have to try and hack them again.是骇入被发现了吗？既然被拒绝访问那就再破解一次好了。

However, things do not go as she intends.然而事情并没有如愿。

AntoninaTrying to decipher the domain name gets me a bunch of errors. There's no information on an "@channel" in Magrasea either...域名出现解析错误，麦戈拉内无法查找到@channel的相关资料……

Antonina...What the hell? The website portal doesn't even exist. If it wasn't for my access logs, I'd really be wondering if I was seeing things.……什么情况？根本没有这个网站的入口。要不是访问日志还在，我真要以为出现幻觉了。

AntoninaThis ridiculous site and its ridiculous content appeared in a ridiculous way and disappeared just as ridiculously... Dammit, don't think I'm going to leave things like this!莫名其妙的内容，莫名其妙的出现，莫名其妙的消失……可恶，别以为能就这样算了！

小型熵Ki!唧！

AntoninaQuiet you, I'm going to find this damn website if it's the last thing I do.先别打扰我，我一定要揪出这个网站的尾巴！

小型熵Kikiki!唧唧唧！

AntoninaOw... Quit pulling my hair... Ah! The antique PC!痛……都说了别扯我的头发……啊！老式电脑！

Antonina looks in the direction where the diminutive Entropic's tentacle is pointing. The monitor has gone dark, and the CPU case has stopped running.安冬妮娜顺着小型熵的触手转向老式电脑前，屏幕一片漆黑，机箱已经停止了运转。

Antonina[Program crashed, failed to load]... I waited so long just for this?【程序崩溃加载失败】……等那么久最后是这个结果啊。

Antonina sighs and begins to recover the event log from the antique PC.安冬妮娜叹了口气，开始着手从老式电脑上调取日志。

AntoninaRelax. Antonina. Don't let this primitive four-core computer get your goat.放宽心，安娜，不要和这些四核心的老式电脑怄气。

AntoninaIt's not like you haven't encountered problems when building your own PC, no?组装电脑的时候遇上麻烦事情也不是一次两次了，不是吗？

AntoninaBesides, it's not like it's a complete failure, right? According to the event log, the computer ran for a full 26 minutes, didn't it?再说这次也不是彻底的失败，你看日志上不是写了这台老式电脑运行了二十六分钟了吗？

Antonina...Huh? It ran for 26 minutes just now?……嗯？刚刚它运行了二十六分钟？

Snap!啪！

AntoninaUwah, what is it now... hm?呜哇，这次又是什么……嗯？

???Excuse me, is Antonina there?请问安冬妮娜在吗？

AntoninaAh, yes! Your caring network safety specialist, Antonina, is here to serve you~啊！在的！您最贴心的网络安全小助手安娜为您服务~

Antonina...What the hell, so it was you, Professor.……搞什么，原来是教授啊。

After recognizing the newcomer, Antonina's customer service smile immediately vanishes from her face.认出了来人，安冬妮娜特地摆出的营业笑容瞬间松懈下来。

ProfessorWhat's wrong? Why do you look so depressed?发生什么事了？你怎么一脸失落的样子？

Antonina...It's nothing, just that I keep running into incomprehensible things today. I think I'm getting allergic.……没什么，只是今天让人搞不懂的事情接二连三，总感觉有些应激了。

AntoninaI made a few discoveries here, I'll share them with you in a bit. Don't worry, though; I'll make sure I take care of each - and - every one of them.我这里有一些小发现，一会儿同步给你。不过不用担心，我会一、个、一、个把它们都解决的。

ProfessorWhy do you sound so mad? Is that antique PC really giving you such a headache?你怎么说得咬牙切齿的，老式电脑让你这么头痛吗？

Antonina...Why does it feel like you've been watching everything that's going on?……怎么感觉你全看到了一样。

AntoninaSo, why did you drop by, Professor?所以教授，你这次来是因为什么事情？

ProfessorI was just worried about you. To be precise, I was actually more worried about it.只是来关心一下你的情况而已。不过硬要说的话，我比较在意它吧。

I point to the antique PC on her desk.我伸手指向桌上的老式电脑。

AntoninaI didn't think you were into this sort of thing.没想到教授你也是这方面的爱好者。

AntoninaLet me get this out of the way first; it's not for sale.先说好，它是非卖品概不出售。

ProfessorNo, that's not what I meant. I'm not interested in the computer itself.不，你误会了，我不是对电脑本身感兴趣。

ProfessorHow should I put this... I'm getting a strange premonition about this antique PC.该怎么说呢……关于这台老式电脑我总有一种奇妙的预感。

AntoninaA strange premonition?奇妙的预感？

Professor...Yeah.……嗯。

ProfessorSomething tells me that it might end up at the center of some interesting events...预感告诉我，接下来它可能会引发一些有趣的事情……
