Planning For Rainy Days 未雨绸缪

At the Oasis' Technical Department, before heading out to the Burbank carnival.绿洲技术部，出发前往伯班克庆典前。

Antonina...Whew, analysis complete.……呼，分析完毕。

AntoninaHowever...不过……

小型熵Chirp!唧！

AntoninaBe quiet, I'm working. Are you still unhappy with me even though I already finished collecting data from you a while ago?别吵，我在工作呢。你的信息采集已经告一段落了，难道还有什么不满吗？

Antonina bends down and plucks the diminutive Entropic off her calf, then lifts it into the air.安冬妮娜弯腰把缠着自己小腿的小型熵拔下来举在空中。

AntoninaPersicaria was saying stuff about how "pets relax you", but I have no idea how something so dumb it interferes with my work could help relax me.帕斯卡说什么“宠物有助于放松心情”，真搞不懂这种智力低下妨碍工作的东西到底哪里能治愈人心了。

小型熵Chirp, chirp!唧唧！

Annoyed, the diminutive Entropic gently swats Antonina's arm with its feelers.小型熵不满地用触须轻轻拍打安冬妮娜的手臂。

ProfessorYou say that, but you seem to like it a lot.虽然这么说，但你看起来还是很喜欢它的嘛。

AntoninaYou're here. No wonder it was being so noisy.难怪这家伙突然这么吵，原来是你来了。

AntoninaGo on, what troublesome matter requires you to personally visit the Technical Department?说吧，又有什么麻烦事劳您亲自光临技术局？

ProfessorWhat, I can't visit just because I want to?没什么事就不能来了？

AntoninaYou were happily discussing that Burbank vacation of yours with Kuro and the others just now, and you even sent Miss Tour Guide's letter over so I could verify her electronic signature.明明刚才还和卡萝她们讨论去伯班克度假的事呢，还把那封导游小姐的邀请信发给我鉴定电子签名。

AntoninaLet me guess, you feel uneasy about heading out to Burbank under the present circumstances and you want to prepare for eventualities?我猜你应该是在这种情况下出发前往伯班克不太放心，想做一些准备吧？

ProfessorI expected nothing less of you, Antonina.不愧是安冬妮娜。

AntoninaYour flowery words are useless on me. Rather, it would be strange if someone as cautious as yourself didn't think this far ahead.花言巧语对我可不管用。不如说按你一贯谨慎的性格，没想到这一层才比较奇怪。

AntoninaThat said, you arrived just in time. I've been thinking about the recent Entropy-related incidents.不过你来得也正巧，对于最近有关熵的异常情况，我有一些想法。

ProfessorGo ahead.说说看？

AntoninaEver since the "Entropy" virus appeared, Persicaria's been coordinating with the other Sector Administrators to find a countermeasure against them.在这些名为“熵”的病毒出现后，帕斯卡为了找到应对策略，和其他扇区的管理员进行了联络。

AntoninaBut the strange thing is that all these normally-functioning sectors have no official records about the Entropy before the Pierides incident.但奇怪的是，在庇厄里亚扇区的事件发生之前，那些正常运作的扇区里没有任何关于熵的正式资料记录。

ProfessorNo records? But Wisdom clearly said...没有记录？但智明明说过……

智Correct. The Entropics are Daemons which have nested in Magrasea. Of course, you can also say they're a computer virus.熵是盘踞在麦戈拉的邪灵。当然，你也可以说它们就是电子病毒。

智Ever since the Sanctifiers were born, we have been hunting down the Entropics under the brilliant leadership of Lord Eosphorus, and we have never stopped.自净化者的诞生之日起，我们便一直在晨星大人的英明领导下进行对熵的讨伐，从未停止。

智However, this is the first time I've seen the situation get this far out of control. The entire Pierides Sector has been infected.但如此大规模的失控我还是头一次见，整个庇厄里亚扇区都被感染了。

AntoninaYou're right. According to the Sanctifiers, they've been fighting the Entropics all this time. But to our knowledge, at least, none of these sectors have been attacked by the Entropy before.你说的没错。按照净化者的说法来看，他们一直与熵进行着对抗。但至少就我们所知，那些正常运作的扇区从未受到过熵的袭击。

AntoninaIn that case, where do they come from?那么，那些熵究竟来源于哪里？

小型熵Chirp!唧！

AntoninaHonestly! Don't you know we're talking about you?真是的，你这家伙知道是在说自己吗？

AntoninaOf course, we've tried to locate their source by analyzing this diminutive Entropic, but the conclusion we reached is that it was already under Copley Sector by the time it "evolved" self-awareness.之前我们也尝试通过对小型熵的分析找到它们的来源，但结论是它从“进化”出自我意识开始就已经在柯普利扇区地下了。

Antonina(Sigh) If only we knew the origin of the Entropy...唉，要是能弄清楚熵的来源就好了……

ProfessorJudging by the present circumstances, there are two possibilities.按照现状来分析的话，有两种可能。

ProfessorThe first is that these special viruses have always been active throughout the cloud server, but the Sanctifiers have suppressed them all this time, so the other sectors could operate normally.第一种情况是，这些特殊的病毒一直在云端各处活动着，只是净化者一直对抗着它们，所以那些扇区得以安全运作。

AntoninaGiven the rate of spread and attack power of the Entropics we encountered in the past, there's no way they could have "no official records" of them, even if the Sanctifiers DID fight off the attacking Entropics.以之前我们遇到的那些熵的扩散速度和攻击力来说，就算净化者真的击退了袭击扇区的熵，也不至于“没有任何正式资料记载”。

(Analyze the Entropics' origins.)对于熵的来源进行分析。

(Make a summation.)总结情况。

AntoninaEither that, or we just so happened to look into sectors which had not been attacked by the Entropics... which would be too much of a coincidence.还是说，正好我们调查的扇区没有遭遇过熵的袭击吗……这也太巧了。

ProfessorExactly, which leaves the second conjecture, that these Entropics already existed within the cloud server but were suppressed or limited by something which left them unable to act.没错，所以还有第二种猜测。这些熵本身就存在于云端，只是被某种条件限制住无法活动。

AntoninaAnd now they are free of their bonds, just like how Demiurge broke through the rock layer in the Copley Sector... I see what you mean now.而现在，它们得以从禁锢中逃脱，就像柯普利扇区的时候，黛米乌尔冲破岩层从地下来到地上……我懂你意思了。

ProfessorIn any case, whatever the truth might be, I have the feeling that our encounters thus far are nothing more than the tip of the iceberg. We still have to be prepared for the future, even if it remains as just a possibility.总之，无论真相如何，我有预感现阶段遇到的熵也不过是冰山一角。为了之后哪怕只是有可能出现的情况，我们都必须得做好准备。

Antonina...Indeed. After all, the attack on the Oasis is still fresh in everyone's minds.……正如你所说的，毕竟绿洲被袭击的事也并不遥远。

Through the invisible barrier, I can see the purplish-black veins slowly climbing up Croque's neck from the wound she's taken. Her body is swiftly turning pale.隔着无形屏障，我看见黑紫色的脉络一点点沿着克罗琦的伤口攀上她的脖颈，她身上的血色迅速褪去。

Meanwhile, the tentacle squirms in her hands.而怪物正在她的手中扭动着。

SolCroque...克罗琦……

Sol stares dumbly at Croque, while Croque opens her mouth to say something. But then, she realizes that we can't hear her from outside, so she just gives us a thumbs-up instead.苏尔呆愣愣地看着克罗琦，克罗琦则对着她张了张嘴巴，而后她似乎意识到了我们现在并听不见里面的声音，旋即对我们比了一个“一切OK”的手势。

SolWhy you...!你这家伙……！

Sol wants to run up and give Croque an earful, but the medical personnel around us hold her back.苏尔想冲上去说些什么，但却被旁边的医疗人员拦了下来。

Professor...How's Croque doing now?……克罗琦的情况怎么样了？

AntoninaShe's back at work in the Engineering Department. By the way, you visit her quite often, don't you? Why are you asking me about her?已经在工程局上班了。话说回来，你不是经常去看她吗，情况怎么样还需要问我？

ProfessorWhat if she's forcing herself to work?万一她是在勉强自己呢。

AntoninaI didn't expect you to be so caring. Relax, she's recovered now.没想到你还挺体贴的。放心吧，她现在已经恢复了。

AntoninaThe source code from the Copley Sector and our analysis on that diminutive Entropic have greatly advanced our research. We've got a way to handle the Entropy now.从柯普利扇区带回的源代码以及对小型熵的分析让研究进了一大步，我们也算有了一定应对熵的办法。

AntoninaOnce that happens, when even the data blueprints are contaminated, not even resets can fix them. That will truly be the end... so please be careful.一旦到达这种情况，连带数据蓝本都被污染的话，连重置都无法解决问题，就真正的万劫不复了……所以，无论如何都要小心。

AntoninaThat's good. Much as I hate to admit it, you don't just carry your own life, but the hopes of the entire Oasis.明白就好。虽然我不太想承认，但你身上承载的可不只有你自己的性命，还有整个绿洲的希望。

AntoninaSomeone's certainly thick-skinned.某人的脸皮可真厚呢。

ProfessorStill, since you've said as much, I ought to provide a reliable measure too. However, I'll need a bit of your help, as well as that of Croque's.不过，既然你这么说了，我也得拿出一点可靠的手段才是。只是需要一些你的帮助，还有克罗琦的。

Antonina...Was that why you asked about Croque's condition? I just said you were caring; turns out it was just part of an evil capitalist scheme!……原来你刚才问克罗琦情况是为了这个吗？才刚说你体贴，实际上还是黑心资本家的阴谋！

ProfessorToday's preparations are so we can better handle tomorrow's dangers. Now then, here's a rough idea of what I have in mind...今天的预备是为了更好渡过未来的危机嘛。那么，大致说一下我的想法吧……

Some time later.一段时间后。

I understand.我明白了。

Are you concerned about me?你是在关心我吗？

In the central meeting room in the Oasis.绿洲，中央会议室。

ProfessorAre all the department heads here?各部门负责人到齐了吗？

AntoninaThe Security Department's supervisor, Simo, the Medical Department's representative, Imhotep, the combat drill instructor, Python... Yup, all here.安保部门负责人席摩，医疗部代表伊姆赫特，军事训练负责人派森……嗯，基本都到了。

Antonina...Looks like Croque's the only one missing.……这样一来，就差克罗琦了。

小型熵Chirp, chirp!唧唧！

The diminutive Entropic in Antonina's arms suddenly begins squirming around. I turn to look and see Croque in the doorway of the meeting room.安冬妮娜怀中的小型熵忽然扑腾起来，我转头看去，克罗琦的身影出现在了会议室门口。

CroqueI think I'm late...好像来晚了啊……

CroqueAck, why is the mood in the air so grim? Let's finish this up quickly.唉，这种会议的气氛还真是严肃啊。我们还是速战速决吧。

Simo...Croque, you...……克罗琦你……

CroqueOkay, okay, quit giving me that "are you okay" look. I'm perfectly fine.好啦好啦，大家别用一副“你没事吧？”的表情看着我。我现在可好得很呢。

CroqueOnce we get through this, I'm taking a month off to build ten Metal Suit models. Every single one of you is going to take shifts helping me out, so don't think you can get away.等熬过这阵，我一定申请一个月假期再刷十次武装机兵。到时候你们每个人轮班帮我拼模型，一个人都逃不了。

CroqueEspecially you, Professor. I've already ordered 10 limited-edition Metal Suit models. Don't forget the Burbank carnival merch either.尤其是你，教授，我先预定十个限量款机兵模型。还有伯班克的庆典限定手办也别忘了。

ProfessorOf course.当然没问题。

Croque places a stack of documents on the table. The atmosphere relaxes a little after she speaks.克罗琦将一沓材料放在桌子上。随着她的发言，会议室的气氛也轻松了一些。

AntoninaLet's get to it, then.那么，我们就进入正题吧。

AntoninaI believe everyone knows about the abnormal appearance of the Entropics throughout Magrasea recently.最近一段时间，熵在麦戈拉异常出现的事大家想必都知道了。

SimoYes. The Field Department brought back Entropic fragments from the Helios Sector, which the Medical Department is now analyzing.是的。外勤部门带回了出现在赫里奥斯的熵碎片，已经交由医疗部门进行分析了。

ImhotepHelix has been pulling overtime recently to complete all that work.为了完成这项任务，贺莉斯这段时间一直在熬夜加班。

ImhotepCurrently, we've researched a way to protect against Entropic infection. It won't confer complete immunity, but it should be able to handle the vast majority of known situations.目前医疗部门已经研制出了预防熵感染的手段，虽然不能保证百分百免疫熵，但至少能应对已知的大部分状况。

SimoThe Security Department has already increased its REDCON to 3 in order to handle any potential threats. If need be, we can raise it to 2 in short order.为了应对可能的危机事态，安全局将绿洲的戒备状态提升到了3级，必要情况下可以快速提升至2级。

CroqueIn short, we won't be caught off-guard again like we were back then.总之应该不会像我当时那样惨兮兮了吧。

ProfessorThank you for your diligent preparations, everyone. However, they will not be enough.感谢各位的认真准备，但光是这些可能还不够。

ProfessorWe need to seriously consider the worst-case scenario—an all-out invasion of the Oasis by the Entropics.我们需要认真考虑最坏的状况——熵对绿洲发动全面入侵的可能性。

ProfessorThe Oasis has always maintained a minimal level of fighting power. Under most circumstances, that has been filled by small numbers of field teams as well the Security Department, led by Simo.绿洲的战力一直维持在很小的规模，多数情况下都是由少数几支外勤小组，还有席摩负责的安保部门来维持。

ProfessorSo far, this has been sufficient to keep everyone safe, mount explorations and engage the odd Sanctifier. However, it is inadequate when we consider that we still do not know the full scope of the threat that our foe poses.在正常情况下保护大家的安全，执行探索任务，与净化者周旋已经足够，但在面对我们至今仍未摸清底细的敌人的可能威胁时，就显得捉襟见肘了。

PythonCommander, do you mean that we should increase our fighting power?长官的意思是，扩大常备战力的规模？

ProfessorTo my knowledge, you've already been doing that, haven't you, Instructor Python?据我所知，派森教官应该已经在这么做了吧？

PythonYes. However, training is a long process, and we will need a more intense training regimen to increase our fighting power in the short-term.是的。但训练是一个漫长的过程，在短期内加强战斗力还需要强度更高的训练。

ProfessorIn addition, we will need more targeted training lessons.以及，更有针对性的训练。

PythonWhat do you mean?您是说？

ProfessorCroque?克罗琦。

CroqueHm, my turn at last.呼，终于轮到我登场了吗。

Croque's fingers slide over the meeting room terminal, and as she operates it, a mission select screen appears on the projector display.克罗琦滑动着会议室的终端，随着她的操作，作战选择界面出现在屏幕上。

CroqueAs you can see, the Engineering Department has used combat records to perform a technical reproduction of 10 strategically meaningful battles, recreating the combat conditions from back then.正如大家见到的，工程局通过现有的战斗资料，对我们曾经历过的十场具有战略意义的战斗进行了技术还原，重现了当时的战斗环境。

CroqueSince we will be operating in a simulated combat area, I called them "Pseudosphere Operations"! How's that? Cool, huh?因为是在数据模拟出来的战斗区域里作战，所以我将其命名为“拟域作战”！怎么样，还挺帅的吧？

Simo...Hahaha, indeed.……哈哈哈，确实。

Croque...Okay, that's my limit. I'll leave the rest to you, Anna.……我觉得我到此为止了。接下来还是交给你吧，安娜。

AntoninaAlright.好吧。

AntoninaUsing the reproductions of the Engineering Department and the analyzed data from the enemy, the Technical Department has come up with a combat simulation system. Agents that use this system can engage in maximally realistic combat training while being assured of the utmost safety.借助工程局的还原结果以及敌人的分析数据，技术局开发了一套战斗模拟系统。进入系统的智能体，能够在保证安全的情况下，进行最大限度贴近真实的战斗训练。

AntoninaYou can use "Expansion Commands" to unlock the permissions to access Pseudosphere Operations. However, there's a limit to how many commands there are because the data hasn't been fully loaded into the system.教授可以使用“扩展口令”开启拟域作战的权限。但是，因为数据还没有完全载入系统，所以目前扩展口令的数量有限。

AntoninaYou can relax, though. The Technical Department is working night and day on this and we'll send Expansion Commands to you every day at 5:00 AM.不过放心，技术局的大家已经在夜以继日地工作了，扩展口令会在每天五点发送至系统内。

Croque...Imhotep, can agents die of overwork?……伊姆赫特，智能体会因为过劳猝死吗？

ImhotepPerhaps.说不定呢。

Antonina...I'll make sure the members of the Technical Department are well rested.……我会注意让技术局的成员们好好休息的。

AntoninaAlso, in order to encourage everyone to participate, Pseudosphere Points will be awarded after each mission is completed. Points can be exchanged for rewards and supplies.另外，为了激励大家的训练热情，完成作战后就会根据结果获得拟域积分。积分累积后会获得奖励物资。

AntoninaThe system allows for multiple challenges, so please strive for a high score, Professor.系统支持进行反复挑战，所以教授可以试着去挑战最高积分。

CroqueIt's just like getting on the scoreboard of a video game.就像打游戏刷高分榜一样。

AntoninaThat's the rough introduction of the system. You'll find out more once you begin training on it.大致的介绍就是这样，至于更多的内容，就等大家训练的时候自行探索吧。

AntoninaWhat do you think about this new simulated combat system?关于这套新的模拟战斗系统，大家感觉如何？

PythonIt's true that the Oasis' agents have very little combat experience. This system should speed up the training process considerably.绿洲的智能体们正是缺少实战的经验，有了这套系统，训练进程应该能加快不少。

ImhotepAlso, simulated battles should reduce the Medical Department's workload.而且如果是模拟战斗，也能省下医疗部门的工作量吧。

SimoSo it duplicates battles from the past... I feel like trying it out now.复原以前的战斗场景吗……我现在就想试试看了。

SimoTo think I have a chance to experience battles which I missed because I wasn't by the Professor's side at that time... Professor, I am confident that I can defeat all the opponents in these simulated battles.能有机会体验因为不在教授身边而错过的那些战斗……教授，我有信心在模拟战里一一击败他们。

AntoninaSo, Requester A who proposed this system. What do you think?那么，提出这个需求的“甲方”，教授，你的意见是？

AntoninaDon't think that's enough to buy us off. Don't forget to give us days off.别以为这样就能打发我们，记得之后给我们休假。

AntoninaHumph, I guarantee you'll be satisfied by the results.哼，训练成果肯定能让你满意的。

AntoninaNow you and Persicaria will be able to set off to Burbank with your minds at ease.这样一来，你和帕斯卡她们也能安心启程前往伯班克了吧。

CroqueDon't forget my limited merch—别忘了我的限量手办——

ProfessorRelax.放心吧。

SimoThe Field Department will continue their daily patrols while you're gone and report any abnormalities they encounter. The Security Department will keep their REDCON high and continue keeping watch on their surroundings.教授离开的这段时间里，外勤部门会继续维持每日的巡逻任务，持续上报异常情况。安全局会提高警戒等级，继续执行警备任务。

ImhotepThe Medical Department will continue developing Entropization immunity programs in the meantime.医疗局会推进熵化免疫程序的研制工作。

PythonAs for combat skills instruction, I will arrange training schedules in tandem with the results of the Pseudosphere Operations and the Professor's remote commands.军事训练方面，我会配合长官的远程指挥，结合拟域作战系统进行训练安排。

ProfessorMhm. I'll be counting on all of you.嗯，接下来就交给大家了。

ProfessorIt might well be that... we don't have much time left.或许……留给我们的时间已经不多了。

I think it's well done. Thank you, everyone.不错，辛苦大家了。

We'll still need to try it out.还得试试才知道。

AntoninaNow we have a basic countermeasure against the Entropics.这样一来，我们就能有初步应对熵的手段了。

AntoninaHowever, there's still a very high chance of being lost forever in the Tertiary Layer if Entropic infection becomes too severe.不过，如果熵的感染程度过深，还是有很大的几率永远迷失于三级底层。

AntoninaThere are also a few others who are collecting information on Burbank, so they couldn't attend. I'll send them a copy of the minutes afterwards.还有几位在准备前往伯班克的相关材料，无法出席会议。之后我会向她们传达相关事项。

The Storm Comes 暴风骤临

10 days later, at the Oasis' Technical Department.十天后，绿洲技术局。

AntoninaWhew...呼……

AntoninaIt's over at last. Running the Pseudosphere Operations was more tiring than I expected.总算结束了，拟域作战系统的运作还真是比想象中更加耗费心力。

CroqueI feel like I'm about to crash from overwork.这一轮忙下来感觉快宕机了。

CroqueI wonder if the Professor, Persicaria and the others are having fun in Burbank... If I'd known, I would have gone with them.不知道教授和帕斯卡们在伯班克玩得开心吗……早知道我也跟着们一起去了。

CroqueI mean, it's the Sleepless City and all. I bet they'd have mega-sized model kit stores and game centers, hehehe.不夜城什么的，想必那种超大的模型店和游戏中心也会有的吧，嘿嘿嘿。

AntoninaYou were going on about how tired you were just now but when it comes to this, you're alive again.刚刚还在喊累，聊到这些又精神起来了。

CroqueBut I missed my chance... Dammit!可问题是我错过了啊……可恶！

AntoninaGo get some rest. Perhaps you might wake up to some limited-edition merch in the morning.先去休息吧，说不定醒来就会有限量手办等着你呢。

Antonina tosses a can of soda to Croque.安冬妮娜将一罐汽水扔到了克罗琦手里。

CroqueGot it. And you should get some rest too, or you really will crash.明白啦，你也早点去休息吧。不然可真的宕机了。

After watching Croque leave, Antonina leans back in her chair, planning to take a short nap.望着克罗琦渐渐远去的背影，安冬妮娜躺回了椅子上，打算小憩一会。

Just as she's about to close her eyes, however, her communication suddenly rings.快合上眼的一瞬间，通讯器忽然响了起来。

Antonina...Who is it?……谁？

系统Oasis, this is the Rossum Sector. I repeat, this is the Rossum Sector!罗萨姆扇区紧急呼叫绿洲，重复，罗萨姆扇区紧急呼叫绿洲！

AntoninaHannah!?汉娜？！

Antonina leaps out of her chair and puts the transmission through.安冬妮娜猛地从椅子上坐了起来，接通了通讯。

AntoninaAntonina here, what's happening?这里是安冬妮娜，发生什么事了？

HannahAnna, Rossum's under a large-scale viral attack!安娜！罗萨姆遭遇了大规模的病毒袭击！

AntoninaViral... You mean, the Entropics!?病毒……你是说“熵”？！

HannahYeah, those abnormal programs you were talking about before. They seem to have sprung up practically overnight throughout the sector and they're destroying everything.是的，就是你们之前所说的那种异常程序。它们几乎是一夜之间就出现在了扇区内的多个地方，不断地制造破坏。

AntoninaHow could this... How is the Rossum Sector doing now?怎么会……现在罗萨姆的情况如何？

HannahThey passed through the Sandbox Barrier with no warning and caught us off guard. We couldn't activate our defense systems in time.它们悄无声息地穿过了沙盒屏障，我们措手不及，没能来得及启动防御系统。

HannahTheir progress is also far quicker than expected, and about 30% of the Rossum Sector has fallen now...而且推进速度远超预期，现在罗萨姆已经被攻陷了30%……

AntoninaHow about the infection status?感染情况呢？

HannahRossum Sector's agents don't have combat modules, and many agents couldn't even activate their immunity programs in time... Some of them have already been infected and fallen into comas.罗萨姆的智能体没有战斗模块，很多智能体甚至没能来得及启动免疫程序……已经有智能体受到了感染，陷入了昏迷。

Antonina(I can't believe things got so bad so quickly...)（事态恶化的速度居然这么快……）

AntoninaI have an idea of what's going on over there. I'll contact the Professor right away.我大致明白那边的情况了，我马上就和教授联系。

AntoninaPlease take care of yourselves until our reinforcements arrive.在我们的增援到达之前，请务必保护好自己。

HannahNo, considering the size of this incursion, Rossum might fall eventually... and if they make it past Rossum and reach the Oasis, you'll be in danger too.不，以现在熵的规模来看，或许罗萨姆迟早都会沦陷……如果它们穿过罗萨姆抵达绿洲，你们也会同样陷入危机。

AntoninaSo it's that big of an invasion, huh... Looks like the Oasis will have a hard time sending out a lot of people.居然是这么大规模的袭击吗……这样一来，绿洲确实难以派出大量兵力。

HannahStill, it's not as though we're completely unable to respond. We need an elite squad to protect us and an ample supply of operands...不过我们也并非没有应对手段。我们需要绿洲派遣一支精英小队保护我们，以及足够的算量……

HannahThis way... going forward... bzzzt... activate... bzzzt...这样一来……后续……嗞……启动……嗞嗞……

AntoninaHannah? Hannah!?汉娜？汉娜？！

AntoninaDammit, the signal's been jammed. I need to contact the Professor ASAP.可恶，通讯频道被干扰了。必须尽快和教授取得联络……

通讯音Beep-beep.滴滴。
