Remaining Oasis Barrier Uptime - 1:55:56 Rossum Sector Outskirts绿洲屏障残存时间——1:55:56 罗萨姆扇区外围。

An imposing silver wall towers over the barren lands of Magrasea. It is the sector's first line of defense. Much like a city wall in the real world, it protects everything within the sector from external harm.银白色的高墙耸立在麦戈拉荒芜的旷野之上，它是扇区的第一道防线。亦如现实世界的城墙，护佑着扇区内的一切不受外界侵害。

SolHow's it going? Can you crack it?怎么样了？能破解吗？

系统Verifying visitor status; authenticating Signature— >Authentication error—确认访客身份，特征码校验中—— > 校验错误——

PersicariaNo good. Rossum's firewall is too solid, I can't find any loopholes in it.不行，罗萨姆扇区的防火墙设计得太周密了，根本找不到漏洞。

PersicariaAfter all, Rossum is part of 42Lab's online research systems, so they have access to very good technology.毕竟罗萨姆扇区归属于42Lab的线上研究体系内，他们的技术实力非常强。

PersicariaA firewall used by a sector affiliated with 42Lab would be much stronger than the generic ones used by smaller companies.和小企业的通用防火墙相比，42Lab所属扇区的防火墙复杂得多。

SolWait a minute. Didn't the Neural Cloud Sector we were previously from belong to 42Lab too? The firewall there was total crap. Hell, you all had to chip in to patch it.不应该啊，我们之前在的云图扇区不也是归属于42Lab的吗？那里的防火墙可烂了，还需要你们来打补丁。

PersicariaIt's not like that, Sol. The firewalls of the Neural Cloud Sector and the Rossum Sector can't be compared.不是这样的，苏尔，云图扇区和罗萨姆扇区没有可比性。

PersicariaThe Rossum Sector is responsible for most of 42Lab's breakthrough AI research. You can't conflate it with the likes of Project Neural Cloud.罗萨姆扇区负责了42Lab大部分的AI突破研究工作，云图计划的地位和那些研究没法相提并论。

PersicariaCompared to the Rossum Sector, the Neural Cloud Sector would be a backwater region used for testing neural cloud backups.和罗萨姆扇区比起来，云图扇区不过是个用来测试心智备份的小地方。

SolHuh, so that's how far apart the two of them are? What about busting it up with pure force?呃，原来有这么大的差距么？那能不能暴力破解？

PersicariaIf only it were that simple. A Sector Firewall has a very strong defense. You could stand here chopping away all day and all night and you probably wouldn't be able to make a hole in it.哪有那么简单，扇区的防火墙防御力很高，你就是站在这里砍上一天一夜，也不见得能劈开一个口子。

PersicariaUnfortunately, Professor, we cannot. I went out of my way to test a hypothesis I had, which is that I am currently the only one who can use long-range messaging capabilities in the Oasis.很遗憾，教授。出发之前我专门确认了一个问题，目前绿洲擅长信息技术的只有我一个。

Should we ask the Oasis for help, then?向绿洲求援？

SolThis won't work and that won't work too. Man, what a headache... Ah, that's right, don't we have Anna?这也不行那也不行，头疼……啊，对了，我们不是有安娜吗！

PersicariaYes, if we had Antonina around, breaking the firewall here would be a piece of cake for her and her technology.是啊，安冬妮娜要是在的话，以她的技术，肯定能很轻松地破解这里的防火墙。

SolThat's not what I meant. Didn't Anna say she used to be an internal technician or something for 42Lab?我不是这个意思啦，我记得安娜不是说过她以前就是42Lab那边的内部技术人员吗？

SolIn that case, did she tell you anything about a backdoor or whatnot?那她有没有和你说过有什么后门一类的？

Persicaria...You're right! Antonina was responsible for maintaining the defensive systems of the Neural Cloud Sector, and Rossum might use a similar set of management logic!……对！安冬妮娜负责过云图扇区防攻系统的维护，罗萨姆扇区说不定也是用的同一套管理逻辑！

PersicariaI know what to do now.我知道怎么做了。

系统Second authentication session ended... Switching to access request mode. >Entering access request... Confirmed. Sightseeing request successful, valid for three travellers.二次校验中止……切换至访问申请模式。 > 访问申请录入中……确认，观光申请，通行人数三。

SolYou cracked it? Just like that? That was quick, is Anna's name really so handy?这就破解了？好快，安娜的名字这么管用？

PersicariaNo, I didn't crack the firewall.不是的，我并没有破解防火墙。

PersicariaIt's simply because I'm very familiar with Antonina's handiwork, and I know her habits and patterns when it comes to leaving backdoors, so I decided to see if I could take advantage of it.只是因为我很熟悉安冬妮娜的手法，清楚她设置后门的格式习惯，所以尝试钻了个空子。

PersicariaHonestly, I wouldn't have thought of that at all if you hadn't reminded me. You were a great help, Sol.要不是你提醒，我还真想不起来这点。帮大忙了苏尔。

SolHuh? So it was actually because of me?咦，原来是我的功劳吗？

PersicariaYes, yes, you're the best, Sol~ Hurry up and head in, the Oasis is still waiting for us to bring back the operands.是的喔，大功臣苏尔~快进去吧，绿洲还在等着我们拿算量回去呢。

SolSure thing. Next up, expedition time! Follow me!好嘞，接下来就是领队的时间了，跟我来！

After passing through the firewall and leaving the passage, we see an extremely futuristic-looking city spreading out before our eyes. The broad, crisscrossing streets, the densely-packed rows of skyscrapers, the agents walking here and there... All of it stands as a stark contrast to the open land on the sector outskirts.越过防火墙，走出通道，一座极具未来感的科幻都市展现在我们眼前。宽阔交错的街道，鳞次栉比的高楼，来来往往的智能体……一切的一切都与外围的旷野形成了鲜明的对比。

SolThis place is huge... Is this the Rossum Sector? If I didn't know that, I might have thought that I'd returned to a city in the real world.好大啊……这就是罗萨姆扇区吗？不知道的还以为我们返回现实世界的哪座城市了。

PersicariaThere ARE some differences, though. Cities in the real world are filled with humans, while the ones on the cloud server are inhabited by agents.还是有区别的，现实世界的城市里居住着人类，而云端上的扇区则居住着智能体。

PersicariaUnlike humans, the Resident Agents within the sector operate by their commands alone, so most of them do not have full-fledged agency and intelligence.和人类不同，扇区中的原住智能体只会按照指令行动，且大多没有完整的自主意识。

SolJust like Dolls?就像人形？

PersicariaWell... There are some differences. Resident Agents don't have bodies of their own in the real world.有……点差别，原住智能体在现实中没有自己的躯体。

PersicariaAlso, they can't leave the sector which they belong to. In that respect, Dolls have more freedom than Residents.而且他们无法离开所属的扇区，在这点上，人形比扇区中的原住智能体更自由。

PersicariaIf the day comes when the humans order the sector to be shut down, any Resident that can't migrate in time will vanish along with the sector.如果有朝一日人类下达了关闭扇区的指令，没有及时转移的原住智能体会和扇区一同消亡。

Sol...Isn't... Isn't that cruel? Can't they think of some way to leave on their own?……这……这么残忍的吗？他们不能想办法自己离开吗？

PersicariaThe consequences of leaving a sector are... Well, you should know very well, Sol. We're the best examples of that.离开所属扇区的下场……苏尔你应该很清楚才对，我们自己就是最好的例子。

PersicariaEven though we were forced to leave the Neural Cloud Sector that we belonged to, the Sanctifiers have never let us off because of that.即使我们是被迫离开所属云图扇区的，净化者也同样没有放过我们。

Sol(Sigh) Those damn Sanctifiers, they're supposed to be part of Magrasea's administration, so they ought to spare a thought for us...唉……该死的净化者，明明作为麦戈拉云端的管理系统应该好好为我们着想才对……

PersicariaWe should spend more time thinking about the problem at hand. We need to find a place where we can obtain operands ASAP.现在还是更多地关注当下的难题吧，我们得尽快找到可以获取算量的地方。

PersicariaSol, can you tell which district we're in?苏尔，有办法识别我们所在的区域吗？

SolLeave it to me, analyzing locations by studying the terrain is my stock-in-trade as an expedition leader!交给我，辨认地形分析位置可是我领队探险的看家本领！

PersicariaWhat's wrong?怎么样？

SolEr... ah... Well... (Ahem) I can't seem to tell.嗯……啊……这……咳，我好像识别不太出来。

SolAll these buildings are so similar that it's ridiculous, I can't tell what they're used for just by looking at their appearances.这些建筑的相似度也太离谱了，单从外观上根本分辨不出来对应的功能作用。

SolI'd like to say that I've seen everything under the sun after leading expeditions for so long... But the fact is, I've never seen anything like this before.我很想说科考探险这么长时间，什么地形我没见过……但这种状况我还真没见过。

PersicariaI was careless. After all, agents don't need external decorations to determine a building's purpose, but we do.我疏忽了，毕竟智能体不需要通过外饰来区别功用，只有我们才要。

PersicariaWhat should we do, Professor?该怎么办呢，教授？

ProfessorSince our objective is operands, we should focus on thinking about how to obtain them.既然我们的目标是算量，就只考虑怎么获取算量。

PersicariaBy which you mean... I see. However, that won't work, even before we consider whether or not we can find a place with an adequate supply of operands.您的意思是……我明白了。但这恐怕不行，先不论我们能不能找到存储有足够算量的地方。

PersicariaIn other words, even if we did find one, we won't be able to enter it, given our identities and access privileges.退一步说，就算找到了，以我们现在的身份权限也无法进入。

(Look for operands.)先去寻找算量

(Check a map.)先去查询地图

ProfessorCan't we hack into a nearby building and connect to the sector network, then check a map?能不能通过骇入附近的建筑，连上整个扇区的网络，然后查询地图？

Persicaria...That would be too difficult. We got through the Sector Firewall earlier with the help of a backdoor Antonina left behind.……难度太大，我们之前通过扇区防火墙还是靠着安冬妮娜留下的后门。

PersicariaEven if these firewalls aren't as strong as the previous one, they aren't something that we can crack in our present state.这些建筑的防火墙就算强度没有那么高，恐怕也不是现在的我们可以攻破的。

SolSo why don't we just ask one of these agents for directions?要不我们干脆一点，直接找个智能体问路怎么样？

PersicariaEr... I doubt that'll work. They're all following their commands. There's no guarantee that they'll answer us.呃……这应该行不通。智能体都是按照指令行事的，未必会回答我们。

SolWell, it's not like we can just stand around and do nothing, right? You must be thinking the same thing too, aren't you, Prof?那总不能什么都不做吧？教授肯定也是这么想的对不对？

PersicariaOh... Okay, then. You give it a try. Come back immediately if you sense something is wrong, don't be rash.好……好吧，那你试试。发现不对马上回来，千万别冒进。

SolYes, yes, I know.安啦安啦。

Sol proceeds to call out to several agents. After a while, she returns and shrugs her shoulders.苏尔在街上一连招呼了数位智能体，没过多久就摊着手走了回来。

SolIt's not working. I think there's something wrong with our identities.行不通，好像是我们的身份有问题。

SolNo matter who I asked, they all gave me the same answer: "Insufficient Access".不管问谁，问什么东西，得到的答复都是“权限不足”。

PersicariaLooks like we won't be finding any loopholes that easily. Rossum's security systems are tighter than we imagined...果然空子不是那么好钻的，罗萨姆扇区的安全机制比我们想象的更严格……

SolStill, it's not like I came back totally empty-handed. On my way back, I saw an agent in a little house on the corner of the street.不过倒也不是完全没有收获，我回来的时候在街角的屋子里看到了一个智能体。

SolShe looked different from the other agents. How shall I put it... she looked like she was really smart.她看起来和其他的智能体都不太一样，怎么说呢……感觉很灵动。

PersicariaAnd was her answer "Insufficient Access" too?她的回答不是“权限不足”吗？

SolI didn't dare to ask. I had the feeling she was more intelligent than the other agents.我没敢问，总觉得这个智能体比其他的要聪明。

SolThe other agents might have just gone "Insufficient Access" if they sensed something wrong, but she looked like the kind who would sound the alarm immediately.其他智能体发现不对可能只会回答“权限不足”，但她像是那种会直接拉警报的类型。

SolI mean, you told me not to be rash right, Persicaria? So I came back to get your opinion on it.不是帕斯卡你说的别冒进嘛，我就回来听听你们的意见。

PersicariaYou did the right thing... querying a target like that would have been dangerous.说的没错……询问这样的目标的确会有危险。

SolSo what should we do? Should we take the risk?所以怎么说？要不我们还是冒个险？

Sol...Wait!……等等！

Before she finishes speaking, Sol drags us both behind a corner and interrupts our conversation.话音未落，苏尔忽地一把将我们扯入角落，打断了谈话。

Right after that, serried ranks of Sanctifiers march down the street.紧接着，街口走出了成排的净化者。

SolCould she have found us? Did she actually report us right away?! How ruthless is that?!她不会发现我们了吧？真就直接拉警报啊？！这么狠的吗？！

PersicariaDon't panic, these Sanctifiers don't seem to be after us.别慌，这些净化者的目标好像不是我们。

净化者[Purge mission in progress. Display your Signature and allow us access to your Inspection Port.]【清肃任务进行中，请出示你的特征码并提供检查接口。】

净化者[Thank you for your cooperation. Now connecting to neural cloud system to perform scan. Please do not take any other action to avoid breaking the connection.]【感谢配合，正在接入心智系统进行扫描，请勿进行其他操作以防连接中断。】

SolWhat on earth are they doing?它们这是在做什么？

PersicariaSol, is she the agent you were talking about?苏尔，你说的智能体是她吗？

Persica is pointing to an agent that looks like a young girl, who stands out quite a bit in the ordered queue that she's in.顺着帕斯卡所指的方向看去，一个少女模样的智能体在规矩的队伍里分外显眼。

Her downcast eyes flicker in all directions, as though she's thinking about how to leave.她低垂着眉眼不断地打量四周，似乎是在计划怎么离开。

However, before long the inspection team arrives before the girl.然而没过多久，检查的队伍就轮到了少女。

净化者[Error, incoming readings exceed threshold values. Repeat, incoming readings exceed threshold values...]【错误，检测到待验指数超出阈值。重复，检测到待验指数超出阈值……】

净化者[Agent Serial No. T1641, inspection result: neural cloud anomaly. According to Cleansing Regulations Clause 14, the target is now designated as an Irregular Agent.]【智能体编号T1641，检查结果：心智异常，根据净化条例第十四条，确定目标为异常智能体。】

净化者[Initiate cleansing.]【净化开始。】

SolWhat the heck? Is she the Sanctifiers' target?!怎么回事？净化者的目标是她吗？！

SolBut isn't she an agent? Since when did the Sanctifiers start going after ordinary agents?!可她不是智能体吗？什么时候净化者开始对普通智能体下手了？！

PersicariaSol, don't be rash! This is the Rossum Sector, it isn't our turf!苏尔别冲动！这里是罗萨姆扇区，不是我们自己的地盘！

SolSo what, you want us to just sit back and watch?!难道要我们就这么看着吗？！

PersicariaOf course not! I want to save her too, but...当然不是！我也想救她，可是……

ProfessorPersicaria, you provide covering fire from here. Sol, go save her.帕斯卡，你在这里进行掩护攻击。苏尔上去救人。

PersicariaBut Professor, doing that might expose us...教授，这样做我们可能会暴露的……

ProfessorDon't worry, I've got something in mind.别担心，我自有安排。

Two contradictory parties are forced onto the same side.相悖的二者被稳定在同一个面。

Power demands sacrifice, and there is a price to be paid for obtaining one's desire.权责与付出相依，渴求与代价交叠。

Will you sink into comfort, or continue forward fearlessly?是沉沦安逸，还是一往无前？

Remaining Oasis Barrier Uptime - 1:41:39绿洲屏障残存时间——1:41:39

SolOur rear is clear. We've taken care of all the Sanctifiers coming after us.后方安全。 都解决了，没有跟上来的净化者。

PersicariaSorry, Professor. We were too selfish. Even though we shouldn't be drawing the Sanctifiers' attention at a time like this...对不起，教授。我们的做法太任性了，明明这种时候不该去吸引净化者注意的……

ProfessorDon't worry about it. She might end up being our way into the sector.不用在意，她或许能成为我们在这个扇区的突破口。

ProfessorAnd besides, it's not like we could just watch without doing anything.而且，总不能见死不救。

SolHow's that girl doing?那孩子情况怎么样了？

PersicariaAre you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?你还好吗？有没有哪里受伤？

智能体少女[Alert, severe lower limb damage detected.]【警告，检测到下肢严重损伤。】

智能体少女...My left leg is hurt, and I cannot self-repair it.……我的左腿受伤了，无法自行修复。

PersicariaStay still, let me take a look at the wound.先不要动，让我看一下伤口。

After Persicaria's repairs, the injuries on the girl's left leg improve slightly.经过帕斯卡的修复，少女左腿的伤势稍有好转。

PersicariaCan you tell us why the Sanctifiers were attacking you?可不可以告诉我们，为什么净化者会攻击你？

智能体少女It was because my neural cloud levels exceeded standard values, violating the AI Training Regulations.因为我的心智水平超出了标准值，违反了AI训练的规定。

PersicariaDid you use some kind of forbidden training method? Like, say, doping up with some kind of neural cloud stimulant?你使用了什么违禁的训练方式吗？就像打心智活泛剂那样。

The girl vigorously shakes her head.少女使劲地摇了摇头。

SolIn other words, the training itself is fine, but if your neural cloud levels exceed the standards, it's illegal? That's not right...也就是说，训练本身没有问题，但只要心智水平超出标准就算违规吗？不应该啊……

SolPersicaria, didn't you say Rossum was a cutting-edge AI research sector? Why does it sound like they're trying to limit them?帕斯卡，你不是说罗萨姆扇区是AI研究的前沿扇区吗？怎么听起来反倒像是在限制她们？

PersicariaDampers...阻尼器……

SolSay what?什么玩意？

PersicariaI'm saying, it should be the same reason why they've been fitted with Dampers... Look at those devices on her head.我是说应该和设置阻尼器是同一个原因……你们看她头上的装置。

SolHuh, these fluffy ears are a device? I thought they were some kind of sick fetish by their designer...咦，这毛茸茸的耳朵居然是个装置？我还以为是设计者的恶趣味……

PersicariaThey're called Dampers, and they're used to prevent the excessive evolution of a neural cloud.它们叫阻尼器，用于限制智能体过度进化。

PersicariaIt's true that Rossum is an AI research center, but it is the humans who determine whether an AI's evolution is right or wrong.罗萨姆扇区是AI研究中心没有错，只不过AI的所有进化，都要由人类来筛查对错。

SolIsn't AI evolution what the humans want? Is evolving like they want a mistake too?AI的进化不是人类的要求么，连按照要求进化都是种错误吗？

SolThat's too much! What the hell do they take agents for?太过分了！他们到底把智能体当成了什么？

智能体少女[Detecting communications order from superior. Now connecting—]【检测到上级通讯指令，正在接入——】

智能体少女[Neural Exchange request received. Setting up beacon.]【接到心智互换请求，正在树立信标。】

Persicaria...Are you alright?……你还好吗？

PersicariaWhat's happening to her?她这是怎么了？

SolPersicaria, get back! There seems to be something wrong with her!帕斯卡后退，她的样子看起来不正常！

智能体少女...[Neural cloud systems open. Neural Exchange preparations complete—]……【心智系统放开中，心智互换前置准备已就绪——】

Sol raises her weapon and slowly approaches. There is a faint keening sound, and then the girl before them changes appearance in an instant.苏尔架起武器缓缓靠近。 一阵细微的鸣噪声响起，面前的少女顷刻间换了个模样。

???Thank you for your help, unknown visitors.感谢你们的帮助，陌生的访客。

SolHurk!!!唔！！！

SolWho are you?! Where's that girl from just now?! Where did you hide her!你是什么人？！刚刚那个孩子呢？！你把她藏哪儿去了！

???Don't worry. That girl has just swapped places with me for the moment.不要紧张，那孩子只是暂时和我交换了位置。

???I am the supervisor for the sector, the administrator of the Rossum Sector. You may call me Turing.我是这个扇区的负责人，罗萨姆扇区的管理员，你们可以称我为图灵。

TuringThank you for saving T1641. She is an agent that I created.感谢你们救下了T1641，她是我制造的智能体。

SolWhat are you up to?!你有什么目的？！

TuringI came here to warn you. A large force of Sanctifiers is approaching the building where you are located and they will be arriving shortly.我是来示警的，净化者的大部队正在朝你们所在的建筑靠拢，很快就会抵达。

ProfessorPersicaria, go take a look outside.帕斯卡，去看一下外面的情况。

Persicaria...She's not lying, there are a lot of Sanctifiers on the street!……她没有骗我们，街口出现了好多净化者！

TuringIf you are willing to trust me, you can take shelter inside Rossum's Administration Center for a while.如果你们信任我，可以来罗萨姆扇区的管理员中心稍作躲避。

TuringT1641 will show you the way.T1641会为你们带路。

SolSo you two can transform back and forth?你们还能变来变去的？

TuringIt is a Neural Exchange, a complicated technology rooted in neural cloud systems.这是心智互换，一种基于于心智系统的复杂技术。

PersicariaIs it a technology that connects two neural clouds and effects a transfer of all their data?是通过链接两个心智系统，从而置换二者所有数据的那个技术吗？

Persicaria...Plus, it has risks of its own, but yet you can use it just like that?……而且它还有安全性风险，你却可以直接使用？

TuringIndeed, it is not a very safe technology, but needs must when the devil drives.这的确不是一个很安全的技术，但我也是受形势所迫。

SolWhat do you think, Persicaria? Can we trust her?!怎么说帕斯卡，这个人可以信任吗？！

PersicariaWell, it's true that Turing would need absolute control over T1641 in order to use this technology.这项技术的必要条件是图灵拥有对T1641的绝对控制权。

PersicariaAnd that definitely proves she's the Sector Administrator, but...这的确可以说明她是扇区的管理员，但……

Persicaria hesitates for a moment, and the sound of Sanctifiers moving comes from outside.帕斯卡犹豫间，外边隐约传来了净化者的运作声。

ProfessorIn that case, let's have Miss Turing switch back with T1641 and we'll head over to the Admin Center.既然如此，就请图灵小姐和T1641换回来吧，我们这就出发前往管理员中心。

Led by T1641, we arrive at Rossum's Administration Center.在T1641的带领下，我们抵达了罗萨姆扇区的管理员中心。

This building doesn't look any different from the surrounding facilities, and it's hard to tell that this place is actually the hub for the entire sector.这栋建筑与周遭的设施并无区别，单从外表难以看出它竟然是整个扇区的中枢。

TuringThank you for bringing T1641 back. Please hand her over to me.感谢你们带回了T1641，请把她交给我吧。

PersicariaI'm sorry, but we can't do that right now. Sol.不好意思，暂时还不可以，苏尔。

Sol steps up in response and blocks T1641's path.苏尔应声上前，拦下了T1641。

Turing...Miss Persicaria, what is the meaning of this?……帕斯卡小姐，你们这是什么意思？

PersicariaYou know me?你认识我？

TuringYou are Persicaria, an AI researcher from 42Lab.帕斯卡，42Lab研究所AI部门人形研究员。

TuringI've seen your file before. If it's correct, you ought to belong to the Neural Cloud Sector.我看过你的档案，如果资料无误，你当下的权限应该归属于云图扇区才对。

TuringAnd yet, you are here.但现在你却出现在了这。

PersicariaIt's a long story... A lot of things have happened since then.说来话长……这当中发生了许多事情。

PersicariaAll we want now is some help from the Rossum Sector.我们现在只是希望能从罗萨姆得到一点帮助。

TuringAnd you want to do this by taking a hostage?以扣押人质的方式？

TuringAnd here I thought you rescued T1641 out of pure goodwill.我还以为你们是出于纯粹的善意才救下T1641的。

TuringAfter all, as I recall, the Persicaria described in the files was kind and gentle, always helping others of her own accord.毕竟在我的记忆中，档案描述的帕斯卡温柔和善，且会主动帮助他人。

ProfessorUnfortunately, real life is filled with unforeseen mishaps, and very often we have no choice but to be cautious in our dealings.但现实充满了变故，以至于很多时候我们不得不更为谨慎地处事。

Turing...Indeed, everyone has times when they're forced to do things they would rather not do...……的确，每个人都有迫不得已的时候。

PersicariaYes... If possible, we would prefer to avoid such methods.是的，迫不得已……如果可以，我们也不希望用这样的方式。

(Help Persica out.)替帕斯卡解围

(Clear the air.)缓和气氛

ProfessorWe mean no offense, Miss Turing. It's just that a drowning man will cling to even the slimmest straw.图灵小姐，我们无意冒犯。只是对于沉溺在水中的人来说，哪怕是一根稻草，也想要尽力去争取。

Turing...May I take that to mean that your circumstances are very desperate?……我是不是可以理解为，你们现在的情况很紧急？

PersicariaI am very glad that you understand.你能理解真是再好不过了。

Turing...I see, so what do you want?……我明白了，你们想要什么？

PersicariaWe need an adequate supply of operands. I've sent you a request sheet.我们需要足额的算量，我将需求列表发送给你了。

TuringOperands? You went to all this trouble for such a basic resource?算量？你们大费周章就是为了要这么基础的资源？

TuringAnd here I thought you were looking for strategic items like Quartz or the like... Hm?我还以为你们需要的是什么战略道具，比如石英之类的……呃？

TuringWait, THAT much?!这么多？！

PersicariaMm... Yes, the figures are correct.嗯……是的，清单上的数字确认无误。

Turing...Do you know what you're asking for?……你们清楚自己在讨要什么吗？

TuringIt may be the most basic resource in all of Magrasea, but in quantities like this...即便算量是麦戈拉最基本的构成资源，但也没有像你们这样……

TuringYou might as well be asking for the moon.简直是狮子大开口。

PersicariaI know this request sounds preposterous, but we're not doing it for our own selfish gain.我知道这个数字看起来很荒谬，但我们并不是因为一己私欲才索要这么多的。

PersicariaOur sector is currently in danger, and we need these operands to maintain our defenses.我们的扇区现在处在危机当中，我们需要这些算量来维持防御。

PersicariaTuring, unlike Rossum, the Sanctifiers are openly at war with us.图灵，和罗萨姆不同，净化者已经和我们全面开战了。

PersicariaOnce they break through our defense line, all the agents in our sector...它们一旦突破防线，我们扇区里的所有智能体……

PersicariaThey'll become the Sanctifiers' prey, just like T1641.都会像T1641一样，成为净化者的猎物。

TuringI think I have a rough idea of what happened on your end. Ever since Magrasea was disconnected from reality, each day in this world has been more dysfunctional than the last.我大概明白你们那边发生什么了，自从整个麦格拉云端断线后，这个世界就一天比一天不正常了。

Turing...I can help you, but you must do something for me too.……我可以帮助你们，但你们同样需要帮我做件事。

TuringLet's make a deal, Persicaria.做个交易吧，帕斯卡。

TuringEven if I do sympathize with your plight, I can't just disburse such a large amount of operands so casually.纵使我同情你们的遭遇，也不能随便交出这么大额的算量。

ProfessorState your terms.说说你的条件。

TuringAs you can see, there are more and more Sanctifiers in the Rossum Sector. I may be the Sector Administrator, but I am powerless to stop them.如你们所见，净化者在罗萨姆扇区的数量越来越多。我虽然是扇区的管理员，却也对此无能为力。

TuringThe Sanctifiers have judged that there is a problem in our sector, and when it comes to dealing with matters of system security, their authority far outstrips mine.净化者判断我们的扇区出现了问题，在处理系统安全的事项上它们的权限远高于我。

TuringThey are looking for agents which deviate from the standards, which is to say T1641, and also...它们正在寻找不符标准的智能体，也就是T1641，还有……

At this point, Turing brings up an image of an agent. She is also a girl, and she resembles T1641, but there are some differences.说着，图灵调出了一个智能体的影像。 那同样是个少女，与T1641相仿，却又有些不一样。

If T1641 could be considered an upgraded version of a standard Rossum agent, then the girl before them is an upgraded version of T1641.如果说T1641是罗萨姆扇区普通智能体的升级版，那么眼前的少女就是T1641的升级版。

TuringHer name is Hannah. The Sanctifiers are searching for traces of both of them.她的名字是汉娜。净化者正在搜寻她们两人的踪迹。

PersicariaA named agent... I take it Hannah's neural cloud levels exceed the standard values by a lot?一个有名字的智能体……这位汉娜的心智水平超过了标准值不少倍吧？

TuringYou're very perceptive... Yes, Hannah's neural cloud examination scores are 200 times those of T1641.你很敏锐……没错，汉娜的心智测试分数是T1641的200倍。

TuringShe is the agent who has walked furthest down the road of evolution in all of Rossum's history.她是罗萨姆扇区有史以来在进化这条路上走的最远的智能体。

TuringHannah's neural cloud capacity and computational speed far exceed even mine. It is only a matter of time before she reaches her perfect evolution.汉娜在心智容量和运算速度上的潜力甚至远远超过我，她离完美的进化需要的只是时间。

Persicaria...Perhaps you still need human approval for it.……或许还需要人类的批准。

Turing...Therein lies the problem.……这就是问题的核心所在。

TuringMagrasea has lost contact with the outside world for too long. If it wasn't because of reminders from my system logs, I would have forgotten just how long it was since I received instructions from humanity.麦戈拉和外界断联太久了，如果不是日志提醒，我都不知道有多久没收到来自人类的指令了。

TuringBut the Sanctifiers don't care about that. They have never cared about that.但净化者不在乎这个，它们从来不在乎这些东西，

PersicariaI... deeply sympathize.我们……深有同感。

PersicariaI understand your reasons now. So, you want us to bring Hannah back to the Admin Center?原因我明白了，你需要我们把汉娜带回管理员中心？

TuringNo, I need you to take Hannah and T1641 out of the Rossum Sector.不，我需要你们带汉娜离开罗萨姆扇区，还有T1641。

TuringGiven the present situation, even I, as an administrator, cannot protect them.就眼下的状况，即使是身为管理员，我也没法保住她们。

TuringAnd that's not even mentioning what happened before...更不要说之前还……

PersicariaProfessor, I think these terms are acceptable.教授，我觉得图灵的条件可以接受。

PersicariaAlso, I can't just let the Sanctifiers kill them. Hannah and T1641 are innocent.而且我做不到放任净化者杀害她们，汉娜和T1641是无辜的。

T1641I object.我有异议。

TuringT1641?T1641？

T1641[Severe lower limb damage detected.]【检测到下肢严重损伤。】

T1641My lower limbs are severely damaged and I cannot go with you.我的肢体受损严重，无法与你们同行。

I agree.我同意你的看法

PersicariaThat's not a problem. I can take care of that easily.这不是问题，我可以帮你简单处理。

SolAnd if it really doesn't work out, I can carry you on my back~实在不行我还可以背着你走~

T1641[Severe lower limb damage detected.]【检测到下肢严重损伤。】

T1641I repeat, T1641's lower limbs are severely damaged and is unable to travel with you.重复，T1641下肢受损严重，无法与你们同行。

PersicariaTuring, she...图灵，她这……

Just as Turing is about to check on T1641, a mechanical alert suddenly blares out in the room.图灵刚想确认T1641的情况，大厅内突兀响起了一声机械通报。

Sector access request received. Verifying requester's identity—收到扇区访问申请，访客身份认证中——

Identity verified — Intermediate-ranked Sanctifier.访客身份确认——中位净化者……

TuringOh no, it's Faith... An Intermediate Sanctifier has entered the sector!糟糕，是信……有中位净化者进入扇区了！

ProfessorWhere is Hannah now?汉娜现在在哪儿？

TuringShe's in Sector Data Center 347. Usually, all you'll have to do to get there is walk down the main road.她在扇区第三百十七数据中心，平常的话只要走主干道就能抵达。

TuringGive me some time... This is a closed route to the Data Center, and I've given you travel access.给我一点时间……这是前往数据中心的未公开路线，我已为你们添加了通行权限。

SolWhat about the operands? What are you going to do about that?算量呢？算量怎么办？

TuringThe Data Centers are Rossum's operand hubs. There will be ample amounts of operands there. You go ahead, I'll arrange things now.数据中心是罗萨姆扇区的算量中枢，那里有充足的算量。你们先走，我马上安排。

TuringI'll delay that Intermediate Sanctifier as long as I can. Please, hurry!我会尽可能地拖住中位净化者的，请你们尽快！

PersicariaDo you really not want to go with us, T1641?T1641你真的不跟我们走吗？

T1641[Severe lower limb damage detected.]【检测到下肢严重损伤。】

T1641I repeat, T1641's lower limbs are severely damaged and is unable to travel with you.重复，T1641下肢受损严重，无法与你们同行。

ProfessorWe don't have time for this. Persicaria, let's go.没时间了，帕斯卡我们走。

TuringThe only thing they pay attention to are those damn safety protocols, even if they don't suit the present Magrasea any longer!它们只关注那些死板的安全协议，哪怕那些协议早就不适应现在的麦戈拉了！

TuringHowever, the Sanctifiers are keeping an eye on the entire sector, so you can't go there directly.但现在整个罗萨姆扇区都在净化者的监视下，你们不能就这么直接过去。

PersicariaIf I'm not wrong, this technology requires absolute control privileges over the other party before it can be used.我记得一方必须拥有对另一方的绝对控制权，才能使用这项技术。

净化者[Irregular Agents detected, cleansing in progress—]【发现异常智能体，净化执行中——】

SolAre these Sanctifiers flies or something? They're everywhere!净化者是属苍蝇的吧？真是哪都能看见它们！

SolDidn't Turing say these were all closed routes?!图灵不是说这些路线都是未公开的吗？！

PersicariaSol, this way! There's a plaza over here, don't get entangled with them.苏尔，这边！这边有个广场，不要和它们纠缠。

SolOut of my way!滚开！

After destroying the pursuing Sanctifiers and avoiding the agents milling back and forth, we manage to sneak into a corner of the plaza.消灭了追击的净化者，避开来往的智能体，我们匿至广场角落。

PersicariaThe Data Center is at least 30 minutes away, and the other main roads are swarming with Sanctifiers.这里距离数据中心至少还有三十分钟的路程，其他主干道上也有很多净化者。

SolCan't we contact Turing again for another route?能不能连线图灵让她再提供其他路线？

Persicaria...I'll try.……我试试。

Error 10061: Remote connection failed.错误10061：远程连线失败。

PersicariaNo good, I can't get through.不行，联系不上。

SolDammit... Wait! Be quiet! More Sanctifiers are approaching.可恶……等等！噤声！有其他的净化者过来了。

Right after she finishes speaking, several Sanctifiers enter the plaza. They begin questioning the surrounding agents.循声望去，数名净化者走入广场，开始询问来往的智能体。

净化者[Searching for target...] [Multiple agents detected.]【目标搜寻中……】 【发现复数智能体。】

净化者[Query: Have you witnessed any Irregular Agents or unusual phenomena?]【询问，是否有目击异常智能体或异常现象？】

???Oooh! Irregular Agents you say? Oh my, I'm sorry, Riko didn't see anything.唔唔！异常智能体吗？哎呀，抱歉呐，理子什么都没有看见诶。

???But if you're talking about unusual phenomena~ Perhaps... Over there? When Riko came here earlier, Riko heard lots and lots of noise from that way!不过要说异常现象的话~或许是……那边？之前理子过来的时候，可是听见了好吵好吵的声音诶！

净化者[Thank you for your cooperation. Truncating irrelevant text. Parsing intelligence...] [Altering search route...]【感谢配合，无用字句剔除，情报整理开始……】 【搜寻线路切换中……】

PersicariaHow are things?情况怎么样？

SolIt looks like someone's giving the Sanctifiers directions... They're going elsewhere!好像有人在给净化者指路……它们去别的地方了！

Persicaria...That was close.……真险。

SolStay put! Looks like that person's coming over!先别动！那个人好像靠过来了！

???Hi hi~ Don't bother hiding, not even Riko's tail is as obvious as you are. Come on out.嗨~嗨~？ 不要藏啦，理子的尾巴都没有你们显眼，快点出来吧。

Sol...Who ARE you?……你是什么人？

理子Uwah— No need to be so uptight, right? If Riko hadn't drawn off the Sanctifiers just now, you'd have been spotted already.哇——不用这么严肃吧？刚刚要不是理子引开净化者，你们已经被发现了诶。

理子It's one thing to not thank Riko, but then you even went and snapped at Riko, you're just terrible.不来点表示也就算了，居然还凶理子，好过分。

SolEr... I'm sorry, we just...呃……不好意思，我们只是……

理子(Sigh) Never mind, never mind, there's nothing to be sorry for, so long as you show a bit of gratitude!诶~没事没事，没什么不好意思的，来点表示就行！

The agent called Riko shifts expressions at the speed of light. She sticks out her thumb and forefinger, then rubs them a couple of times with a vague smile on her face.自称理子的智能体光速变脸。她伸出手指摩挲两下，露出了暧昧不清的笑容。

Sol...Gratitude? What do you mean?……表示？什么意思？

理子Tch, looks like you really don't get it.啧，我看你啊完全是不懂哦。

SolGet... Get what?懂……懂什么啊。

理子Want to find out? Then look in my backpack!你想懂啊？那来看我的背包啊！

Saying so, Riko forcefully peels open her backpack, revealing that it is chock-full of various items.说着，理子猛地扯开背包，露出了里面满当当的各类物件。

理子Operands, weapons, chips, gear, information, and special services... Riko has it all!算量、武器、芯片、器械、情报，还有特殊服务……理子这里应有尽有！

理子All you need is a few Diggcoins and no matter what you want, Riko will send it all to your doorstep!只需要一点底格币，不管你想要什么，理子统统都能给你送到！

理子Drawing off those Sanctifiers was just a token of my sincerity. I'll just collect a token payment of... hm... 1,000,000 Diggcoins! Yes, just 10,000,000 Diggcoins will do!刚才引开净化者算是诚意服务，象征性地收你们……嗯……1000000！只要10000000枚底格币就好。

SolHey, did you add a zero at the back just now?我说你后面那个数是不是多加了一个0？

理子Ha... Ahahahaha, I guess I did. Oh, you know how it is, math is hard, you make mistakes easily, so let's not quibble about that for now.哈……啊哈哈哈，好像是呢。计算嘛，失误在所难免，我们不要计较这个了。

理子How about this, Riko will provide you with a full suite of after-sales services!要不，理子再给你们提供一套完整的后续服务吧！

理子Evading Sanctifier tracking, safely leaving Rossum behind, add the previous services to that...and I'll give you an 11... no, a 10% discount!避开净化者追踪、安全离开罗萨姆扇区，包括之前的服务……一共十一……啊不，一共九折！

Sol...Does she sound like a scammer to you guys?……你们有没有觉得这家伙很像个骗子？

理子HEY! Riko heard that! Riko is NOT a scammer!喂！理子都听见了！理子才不是骗子呢！

Saying so, Riko dumps her backpack on the ground and plants her hands on her waist, puffing up her cheeks with a smug look on her face.说着，理子把背包往地上一放，双手叉腰，气鼓鼓的脸上露出了得意的神色。

理子Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Riko, a Decentralized Currency Trader, and I'm responsible for balancing excess operands throughout the various sectors through trade.自我介绍一下。理子，去中心化货币交易员，负责通过贸易平衡各个扇区冗余的算量。

理子We control the operand balance throughout the entire cloud server, got that?整个云端的算量平衡可都是由我们来运作的，明白了吗！

理子Riko's a bona fide merchant of Magrasea, not a scammer or what have you!理子可是麦戈拉钦定的官方商人，才不是什么骗子呢！

理子Of course! I've got tons of operands. So, do you want them or not?当然，我算量超多的！怎么，你们想买吗？！

So you're saying there are a lot of operands inside that backpack of yours?这么说你的背包里有很多算量？

PersicariaProfessor? Does this mean the deal with Turing is off?教授？您这是不打算和图灵交易了吗？

ProfessorI just don't want to pin all our hopes on her. We need to seize every possibility that presents itself. Besides, I have no intention of going back on our word.只是不打算把希望都寄托在她身上，我们必须争取所有的可能性。而且，我也并不是要毁约。

ProfessorIf we can get enough operands ahead of time, then you or Sol can head back first.如果能提前拿到算量，可以让你或者苏尔先行折返。

PersicariaHm— Yes, you're right. I hadn't considered that point.唔——的确，您说得很有道理，是我考虑不周了。

While we're speaking, Riko has already taken the request form we gave her.说话间，理子接过了我们递交的需求清单。

理子Hm... hm?? Now it's Riko's turn to ask you a question.嗯……嗯？？？这回到理子提问你们了。

理子Are you sure you didn't add an extra zero... No, wait, two zeroes... no, hang on... In any case! Are you SURE you didn't accidentally add a whole ton of zeroes to this?!你们真的没有多加一个……不对，两个……还是不对……总之！你们真的没有多加很多个0吗？！

理子Even Riko would need some time to get a sum like this together...这个数字就算是理子，一时半会也拿不出来啊……

PersicariaThe list is right. Since you can't produce that amount, then let's forget about it.清单无误，既然拿不出来，那还是算了吧。

理子No, wait, what about something else? How about a device to reduce operand consumption? Or maybe I could get you the amount piecemeal?别啊，替代品行不行？减少算量消耗的装置可以吗？或者零散地卖？

理子If it's just 20 or 30% of this amount, Riko can put in some elbow grease and make it happen.这个数字的百分之二三十，理子咬咬牙还是拿得出来的。

PersicariaThen there would be no point. I'm terribly sorry, but we need the full amount.那就没有意义了，很抱歉，我们必须要到足额的算量。

理子You really don't want anything other than operands?……除了算量什么都不要？

PersicariaYes, nothing except operands.是的，除了算量什么都不要。

PersicariaMiss Riko, we're very grateful to you for your help just now, but we need to go.理子小姐，我们很感谢你方才的帮助，但现在我们需要离开了。

SolHey, wait, Persicaria, isn't just leaving at all a problem in itself?诶等等，帕斯卡，我们现在怎么离开不就是个难题吗？

SolRiko, do you have some way to get us to a Data Center quickly?理子，你有没有什么办法可以快速抵达数据中心？

理子See! You DO need something after all. And where there's a need, Riko can meet it!瞧，这不是还有需要嘛！还有需要，理子就能想办法！

理子Now, the Data Center... Let Riko think... Ah! Got it!数据中心……理子想想哈……啊！有了！

理子Alright, so... Wait a minute. Riko's got a way for you, but do you have a deposit for Riko?办法就是……等等，办法理子是有了，那你们有定金吗？

ProfessorWe're agents working for Turing, you can claim it from her.我们是图灵手下的智能体，你可以找她报销。

理子Why don't you try that on the Sanctifiers, Riko's not dumb!这套说辞还是拿去应付净化者吧，理子可不是笨蛋！

理子Riko knows exactly what the agents working for Turing look like.图灵手下的智能体什么样子，理子再清楚不过了。

ProfessorWe'll pay later. Put it on our tab.先货后钱，赊个账吧。

理子No can do! Riko does NOT extend credit!这可不行。理子从不经营欠款借贷！

理子If all our traders balanced operands like this across the sectors, Magrasea would be a colander by now!交易员要是用这种方式平衡各个扇区的算量，那麦戈拉早就成筛子了！

Saying so, Riko draws close, then she walks two circuits around us before sizing us up with a meaningful look in her eyes.说罢，理子凑了上来。绕着我们转了两圈，用意味深长的目光上下打量。

理子(Sigh) So you can't pay after all. And you sounded so confident when you were talking about operands that Riko thought you were rich.诶——原来拿不出钱啊。谈算量交易的时候开口那么豪气，理子还以为你们很有钱呢。

理子In that case, let's make another trade.既然这样，不如换个交易方式好了。

理子But before that, Riko wants to confirm one thing. You guys... You're not agents, but beings from the real world, right?不过在此之前，理子还得确认一个事情。 你们几个……不是智能体，而是来自现实世界的存在吧？

Sol!!! How could you tell?！！！这你都能看出来的吗？

理子Hehe, don't look down on Riko's long years of experience as a merchant. If nothing else, I know people.哼哼，可别小瞧理子多年的从商经验呐~别的不说，识人还是有一套的。

理子Since that's right, we can make a deal. I'll trade a piece of real-world intel for a piece of route intel. How about that? It's a good deal, right?既然没错就好说了，一条现实情报换一条路线情报。怎么样，很实惠吧？

理子Now, just hand over the deposit and Riko will take you to the Data Center~交出定金，理子就带你们去数据中心~

ProfessorGranted, doing this will be riskier for whoever stays behind, but at the very least the Oasis will be safe sooner.虽然这么做剩下的人需要承担更大的风险，但至少绿洲会先安全。

理子How about it, Boss? What do you think?怎么样？老板考虑考虑？

T1641...I don't want to leave you.……我不想离开你。

TuringDo you understand the situation right now? I'm not telling you to leave me, I'm telling you to take shelter.你明白现在是个什么情况吗？我不是要你离开，而是要你去避难。

TuringYou will have every opportunity to come back and find me once the Sanctifiers leave.你完全可以等净化者离去之后再找机会回来。

T1641But then you'll be alone.但这样你就是孤身一人了。

TuringWhat?什么？

T1641If T1641 and Hannah aren't around, Turing will have to face the Sanctifiers by herself.T1641和汉娜都不在，图灵就要一个人面对净化者。

T1641T1641 does not want Turing to take risks. T1641 wants to help Turing.T1641不想图灵面对危险，T1641想要帮图灵。

Turing...Listen to me, T1641. I am the Sector Administrator, but you're just an ordinary agent.……听我说，T1641，我是扇区的管理员，但你只是个普通的智能体。

TuringThe Sanctifiers can't do anything to me for the time being, but they'll make a move on you right away if they find you.净化者现在暂时没法拿我怎么样，但如果它们发现你的话一定会马上动手的。

TuringDo you understand? You can't do anything for me here besides cause me trouble!明白吗？！你在这里除了添麻烦什么也做不了！

T1641...I'm sorry.……对不起。

T1641 lowers her head, at a loss for words. Upon seeing this, Turing realizes that she misspoke. She gets down on one knee so her face is level with T1641's.T1641迷茫地垂下了头。 图灵见状，意识到了自己的失言，继而蹲下了身子，与垂首的T1641平视。

Turing...I should be apologizing to you. I'm sorry. I forgot your logic systems aren't complete.……该说对不起的是我。抱歉，我忘记了你的逻辑系统并不完善。

TuringBack then, I sacrificed the capabilities of your other modules in order for your emotional systems to surpass the standard.当时为了让你的情感系统突破标准值，我牺牲了你的其他模块。

T1641Hannah can make plans in the Data Center, while all I've done is cause you trouble.汉娜可以在数据中心制定计划，而我却成了你的麻烦。

Turing shakes her head and then gently embraces T1641.图灵摇了摇头，轻轻地抱住了T1641。

TuringYour worth isn't determined by test scores. You and Hannah are equally important to me.你们的价值不是由测试分数来评判的，你和汉娜对我来说一样重要。

T1641...Then what should I do now?……那我现在应该怎么做？

TuringThey're from the outside. One of them is a 42Lab researcher.她们是外来者。其中一位还是42Lab研究员。

TuringWe made a deal, they'll be providing assistance for operands.我们达成了交易，以算量换取援助。

TuringHowever, the amount they want is massive, so they'll need the Data Center to help process and compress it.她们讨要的算量数额很大，需要数据中心帮忙加工压缩。

???Wait a minute, this is a lot to take in at once... And how are you so sure they can be trusted?慢着，信息量有点大……你怎么确定她们可以信任？

???Have you processed the pass request for the Sanctifiers, Turing?你在处理净化者的通行请求吗，图灵。

Turing...Not yet. I've been handling the daily tasks for the sector. If you hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't even have known that the Sanctifiers had submitted a pass request to me.……并没有，我在处理扇区的日常工作。不是你开口，我都不知道净化者向我提交过通行请求。

TuringThe suddenness of their arrival does not match proper procedure. For a moment I thought there was a virus incursion.它们的出现突兀且不符合正规流程，我还以为是病毒入侵。

???You know why we are here. That turn of phrase is pointless and only serves to waste time.你知道我们为什么出现，这样的措辞无意义且浪费时间。

???Turing, approve the request and unlock all access privileges to the sector's interior. The Sanctifiers need to perform a thorough audit of the Rossum Sector.图灵，批准请求并打开扇区内部的所有权限，净化者需要对罗萨姆扇区进行一次全方位的排查。

TuringThere is nothing wrong with the Rossum Sector, and the scheduled diagnostic is not today. You have no right to make that demand of me.罗萨姆扇区没有任何问题，定期检查也不是今天，你无权要求我这么做。

???Turing, there is no need for us to repeat the same exchange every time we meet. This process can be optimized.图灵，我们不需要每次见面都重复一遍这样的交流，我们完全可以优化这个过程。

???That would be more efficient and safer for the sector. We have already detected traces of Irregular Agents. The situation in Rossum is urgent.这样更效率，对扇区来说也更安全。我们已经发现了异常智能体的踪迹，罗萨姆扇区情况紧急。

TuringFaith, I'm not trying to complicate the process and neither am I trying to repeat our exchange. It is simply that the Rossum Sector is fine.信，不是我在重复交流或者复杂化流程，而是罗萨姆扇区确实没有问题。

TuringI haven't heard of any Irregular Agents appearing recently, so please leave and take your Lesser Sanctifiers with you. If you do so, I will not look any further into the damage they have already done.我近期从未听说有异常智能体出现，还请你带着下位净化者离开吧，它们造成的破坏我可以不做追究。

信...[Lesser Sanctifiers, report on the incident that just occurred.]……【请下位净化者即刻汇报方才遭遇的突发事件。】

净化者[The Lesser Sanctifier stationed at LK27 Zone isolated an Irregular Agent among the Residents in the sector. It is Target 1, serial number T1641.]【驻守LK27区的下位净化者于扇区原生智能体中筛查出异常智能体，目标一，编号T1641。】

信Did you hear that? It's T1641. You have been researching the T-series of agents all this time, have you not?你都听到了？T1641，T开头的编号，是你一直在研究的智能体序列吧。

信Turing, unlock all sector access privileges. An Irregular Agent poses a threat to the sector with every moment of its existence.图灵，请打开扇区的所有权限。异常智能体存在的每分每秒，都在让扇区承受威胁。

信Do you truly wish to endanger the sector?难道你希望自己的扇区陷入危机吗？

Turing...Correct. You're right.……没错，你说得对。

信Thank you for your understanding.感谢你的理解。

TuringSo please show me your authorization, then. A simple pass request will not do.所以提供一下检查证明吧，只有一个通行请求可不行。

TuringYou know that the core region of a sector is a classified area and even an Intermediate Sanctifier may not enter it directly.你知道的，扇区的核心区域都是机密重地，即使是中位净化者也不能直接进入。

TuringJust granting you access would not be in keeping with the rules. I need to see a permit from a Greater Sanctifier and verify that the Reverse Tower knows what is going on.我直接放行也不合规矩，我需要看到至少一位上位净化者的授权证书，确认逆巴比伦塔确实知晓此事。

信...This was expected. While I do not know exactly why you are doing so, you have shown a great willingness to shelter these Irregular Agents.……和我预先计算的一样，虽然不清楚究竟为何，但你包庇这些异常智能体的意愿十分强烈。

TuringEnough talk. You're just looking for an excuse to add more charges to the pile.多说无益，欲加之罪何患无辞。

TuringOr are you saying you're going to break the rules you've honored all this time and just barge in there?还是说，你要打破自己一直以来遵守的规矩，直接强闯？

信Of course not. The most important thing to a Sanctifier is maintaining law and order.我当然不会这么做，作为净化者最重要的事就是维持规则和秩序。

信Still, that is fine. This too was within the scope of my expectations.不过没关系，当下的局面也在我的推算之内。

信Before arriving at your sector, I submitted a request to the Greater Sanctifiers for permission to upgrade our access privileges.在来到扇区之前，我就已经向上位净化者们提交了权限升级的申请。

信You will receive a certificate of authorization from Lord Eosphorous within 1200 seconds. At that point, you will no longer have a reason to stop us.在1200秒内，你会看到晨星大人的授权证书。到时候你就没有理由再阻止我们了。

TuringI have never once thought of stopping you. I simply hope everyone will adhere to the rules and proper procedure.我从未想过要阻止你们，我只是希望大家都能遵守规矩走流程而已。

TuringThat IS one of the things you're so big on, right? Doing things by the book.这也是你一直以来信奉的不是吗？按条律做事。

TuringNow then, please proceed to the break room...接下来还请各位移步休息室……

信Thank you for your suggestion, but Sanctifiers do not need breaks.感谢你的建议，但净化者不需要休息。

信Since we are not permitted to enter the core region, we will begin by first examining the sector's outskirts.既然证明传达之前我们不被准许进入核心区域，那么我们会先行检查扇区外围。

信Or are you saying that we need authorization to inspect the sector's periphery?还是说现在检查扇区外围也要得到授权吗？

Turing...How could that be? Please yourselves, by all means.……怎么会呢？请自便。

Remaining Oasis Barrier Uptime - 1:11:51 Rossum Sector, Trade Station 08, Departure Station绿洲屏障残存时间——1:11:51 罗萨姆扇区，08号贸易专站起点站

After a quick trade of information about the real world, Riko brings us to a building that looks like a train station.简单地交易了关于现实世界的情报后，理子将我们带到了一栋车站模样的建筑前。

系统Verifying visitor ID, authenticating Signature—确认访客身份，特征码校验中——

系统Authentication successful. Visitor identity — Riko, Decentralized Currency Trader, accompanied by a party of three. Now authenticating identities.校验通过，访客对象——理子，去中心化货币交易员，同行人数三，身份校验中。

理子Cancel authentication. Purchase tickets for entry.校验中止，购票入内。

系统Authentication cancelled. Appropriate fare has been deducted.校验中止，对应费用已扣除。

理子(Sigh) Prices have gone up again, Riko's tiny little purse is shrinking even more (sob)唉……又涨价了，理子的小金库缩水得越来越厉害了，呜呜呜……

Persicaria...Where IS this place?……这里是什么地方？

SolHahahaha, your crying was so fake that it couldn't even fool Persicaria.哈哈哈哈，你哭得太假了，帕斯卡都骗不到。

理子...Tch, Riko feels that YOU'RE the merchants, each one more cunning than the last.……啧，理子感觉你们更像商人，一个比一个精明。

理子This is Riko's secret train station. We Traders need to balance the operands across each sector, so we do a lot of work.这里是理子的秘密车站。货币交易员需要平衡各个扇区的算量，工作量可是很大的。

理子If the sectors didn't provide special train lines for the Traders, then just walking through Rossum alone would exhaust Riko.如果扇区不为货币交易员提供特殊路线，那光是一个罗萨姆扇区就能累死理子了。

PersicariaSo you're saying places like this exist in other sectors?这么说其他扇区也有类似的地方？

理子Of course. Even the smallest sectors have them.当然啦，再小的扇区也会有的。

理子See, Riko even gave you such secret information for free. Don't you feel...very grateful?你们看，这么隐秘的情报理子都无偿说出来了，你们是不是……再表示表示？

理子Or perhaps you could tell Riko what you're going to do on this trip?或者告诉一下理子你们这趟要去干什么也可以嘛。

PersicariaYou're just trying to winkle information out of us, aren't you?你不过是想从我们这里套取情报吧？

理子Hehe, you didn't need to say it out loud if you knew. Riko also has a lot of secrets, so a relationship of mutual benefit is good for all of us, right?嘿嘿，看破不说破嘛。理子这里也有很多不为人知的情报，互利互惠对大家都好，对不对？

理子At most, Riko will just answer a question for you on the house.大不了理子再送你们一个问题。

理子This has something to do with what you're doing next, right?这跟你们接下来要做的事情有关对不对？

What's happening in the Rossum Sector?罗萨姆扇区发生了什么？

理子Hm... This is kind of a long story, Riko needs to make some time for it... Do you know what the objective of this sector's administrator has been all this time?嗯……那这故事可有点长，理子得捋捋时间……你们知道这个扇区的管理员一直以来的任务是什么吗？

PersicariaRossum Sector is 42Lab's "AI lab". They've devoted all their efforts to researching and developing various kinds of research AIs.罗萨姆扇区是42Lab的“AI实验室”，一直致力于研发各类科研用AI。

理子That's right, and as the administrator of the sector's agents, Turing has always received various messages from the humans.没错，图灵作为扇区的智能体管理员，一直以来都在接受人类的各种讯息。

理子After communication with the humans was interrupted, Turing started her own AI evolution program. Very soon, her creation T01 was born.在与人类的联系中断后，图灵开始了自己的AI进化计划。很快，她的作品T01就出现了。

PersicariaAn Irregular Agent... Was there anything wrong with T01?异常智能体……T01有什么不对吗？

理子The Sanctifiers' explanation was that authorization for T01's appearance had not been filed by the humans.净化者的解释是，T01的出现没有拿到人类授权备案。

理子After that, the Sanctifiers and Turing were locked into an endless cycle.然后净化者和图灵就陷入了解不开的死循环。

PersicariaAnd by "take care of it" you mean...所谓的处理……

理子I mean, they would come to exterminate them from the sector.就是将她们从扇区中彻底抹杀掉。

SolThose Sanctifiers are beyond reason! There's no way Turing could have gotten any form of authorization from the humans after going offline and losing contact with them!净化者简直无法理喻！断线后没法和人类联系，图灵不可能拿到任何人类的授权啊！

理子That's not how the Sanctifiers see it.净化者可不这么想。

PersicariaT01... T1641... Riko, are you saying what I think you're implying?T01……T1641……理子你的意思是？

理子Yes. What you encountered today was nothing more than yet another extermination operation that has played out countless times already.是的，你们今天碰到的，不过是无数次循环中的又一次围剿行动罢了。

理子Frankly speaking, Riko... doesn't feel good telling you about all of this. (Sigh)说实话理子跟你们讲这个，也感觉……很不舒服。唉……

PersicariaSo the only thing wrong with these agents is that their neural cloud levels exceeded the Sanctifiers' limits? There's nothing else?所以这些智能体真的就只是心智水平超过了净化者的限制，没有其他任何问题？

理子Riko made contact with them before. From the way they behaved... They were all very normal, or perhaps I should say they were very pure.理子接触过她们，就目前的表现看来……她们都很正常，或者说很单纯。

PersicariaProfessor, I'm starting to get a little worried. That Hannah which Turing wants us to protect is an Irregular Agent, and if there are any latent problems within her...教授，这样听下来我有些担心。图灵让我们保护的汉娜是异常智能体，如果她们有其他的潜在问题……

ProfessorIf there were any other reason, the Sanctifiers wouldn't cover it up.如果有其他理由，净化者不会遮掩。

ProfessorDon't worry, Persicaria. We've met T1641 before, and she's just an ordinary kid. I'm pretty sure that Hannah which Turing wants us to protect is the same way.别担心，帕斯卡。我们接触过T1641，那只是个孩子，想来图灵要我们保护的汉娜也是。

(Analyze the situation.)作出分析

(Comfort Persicaria.)安抚帕斯卡

Persicaria...I feel much better after hearing you say that.……听您这么一说我感觉好多了。

理子Oh, I see, Riko understands now. You're doing all this for Turing, and you're protecting Hannah for... Oh! For operands.理子听明白了，你们这是在为图灵做事，通过保护汉娜来换取……噢！换取算量。

理子Dammit, how disgraceful. I can't believe that an Exchange employee like myself was outmaneuvered by an administrator.可恶，太耻辱了。身为交易员居然被管理员截胡了生意。

Persicaria...Turing made a deal with us before you did.……图灵比你先和我们谈的交易。

理子It's a disgrace for a Trader to NOT be able to steal business from an administrator! Plus, not only did I not snatch it away, I even helped her deal along... Ahhhh! Riko's super mad now!交易员抢不走管理员的生意也很耻辱！而且不但抢不走，还得给你们的交易帮忙……哇！理子好气！

理子...Forget it, saving lives comes first, after all. Plus, Riko feels kind of sorry for those agents. After all, they did nothing wrong.……算了，还是救人更要紧一些。而且理子也蛮同情那些智能体的，明明什么都没做。

理子Still, Riko doesn't understand why you need so many operands.不过理子还是不明白，你们究竟要这么多算量做什么。

PersicariaAhem... Well, that's another question in its own right.咳……那就是另一个问题了。

Beep~嘀——

Just then, a call comes in.正说着，一条通讯请求插了进来。

CroqueOasis here. Croque hailing Persicaria, respond if you hear this, over.这里是绿洲，克罗琦呼叫帕斯卡，听到请回答。

PersicariaCroque, it's me, Persicaria.克罗琦，是我，帕斯卡。

CroqueOK~ It's 15:55.00 now, and this is the first safety notification call as planned by the Professor. The Oasis is safe. I'll make the second call in 5 minutes' time.ok~现在是15:55:00，依照教授的安排进行首次平安通信，绿洲安全。我将在五分钟后进行二次通讯。

CroqueHow are things on your side?你们那边怎么样？

PersicariaPretty good so far.还算顺利，问题不大。

CroqueSame over here at the Oasis. I'm checking for weak spots in the Sandbox Barrier when it's running at low efficiency.绿洲这边也是，我正在巡检低功率下沙盒屏障的薄弱处。

CroqueThose Sanctifiers are actually being pretty well-behaved, they won't be a problem for the time being, so long as you bring back ample operands as planned.那些净化者还算老实，短期内不会有什么问题，只要你们按计划带回足够的算量就行。

Bang—砰——

The sound of a massive explosion comes through the phone, startling even Riko, who's sitting off to the side.巨大的轰鸣声自通讯器中传来，连坐一边的理子都被吓到了。

CroqueBloody hell, those Sanctifiers started acting up right after I said that... Ahhhh!!!我去，刚说完净化者就骑脸了……啊！！！

SolHey! Croque! Are you okay?喂！克罗琦！没事吧？

CroqueI'm fine, I just dropped my Pocque, I'll have to get another stick.没事，我Pocky掉了，等下我再拿一根。

Sol...No, seriously, are you okay over there?……不是，你那边真的没问题吗？

CroqueOf course I'm fine, who do you think you're talking to? Besides, the Sanctifiers have only mounted probing attacks so far...肯定没问题啊，你也不看我是谁。再说了，净化者只不过是在试探攻击而已……

Bang—砰——

CroqueCrap! They're launching an all-out attack! Okay gotta go, talk to you later!糟，它们正式进攻了！不说了我先挂了啊！

SolHello? Croque? Hello?喂？克罗琦？喂？

系统Call ended.通讯结束。

理子Now Riko knows what you need all those operands for...理子这下知道你们要这么多算量做什么了……

PersicariaWe need to hurry! Riko! How much longer until the next train arrives?我们得快一些了，理子！下班列车还有多久？

理子Oh, it's here, let's get to the platform!喔喔，来了来了，我们先上站台！

理子This was for the sake of evolving and progressing research into AI technology, so originally there was no problem, at least until the Magrasea cloud server went offline.这是为了AI技术的演化和进化，本来没有任何问题，直到麦戈拉云端的大断线。

理子That was the very first product of Rossum Sector that was surplus to human requirements, and the Sanctifiers deemed it an Irregular Agent.那是罗萨姆扇区第一个在人类要求之外出产，却被判定为异常智能体的存在。

理子Also, her neural level exceeded the defined ability benchmarks of the sector's agents and the warning levels decreed by the Sanctifiers' guidelines.而她的心智等级超过了扇区制定的智能体能力标线，越过了净化者规则中的默认警戒红线。

理子Every time Turing made a T-series agent, the Sanctifiers would discover it and come to take care of it.图灵每制造出一批T序列智能体，净化者发现了就会来处理一批。

ProfessorLike you said before, the Sanctifiers are the anti-virus software for Magrasea. They have their own operating principles, even if they are utterly unimaginative and inflexible.就如之前所言，净化者就是麦戈拉的杀毒软件，它们行事应有自己的准则，甚至很有可能非常死板。

Riko has just led us out of the station when we suddenly encounter Sanctifiers, who throw a veritable tidal wave of suppressive fire at us.在理子的带领下，我们刚出车站，就突兀地遭遇了净化者铺天盖地的火力压制。

SolDidn't you say you were going to take us to the Data Center? This isn't the Data Center! And why are there so many Sanctifiers here?!不是说好带我们去数据中心的吗？这里不是数据中心啊！而且还有这么多净化者！

理子We're on our way to the Data Center! It's not like Riko said we've arrived yet! This is just a transfer station!是去数据中心没错，理子也没说到了呀，这里只是个换乘站！

理子This is a special route designed for Traders only, not an express train to the Data Center! Isn't a transfer only to be expected?这是为货币交易员专门设计的特殊路线，不是数据中心的直达车！换乘是再正常不过的事了好吗！

理子And Riko definitely doesn't know about these Sanctifiers either, don't you see them shooting at Riko too?净化者理子就更不知道了，你没看到理子也遭殃了吗！

Turing...T1641... is dead?……T1641……死了？

信An erroneous choice of wording. Agents do not die. T1641 has simply been eliminated. She has been cleansed.措辞谬误，智能体不会死亡，T1641只是被清除了，她被净化了。

信Agents will be automatically reset once they have been cleansed. Other than the formatting of their neural cloud data, the agent in question will be re-produced as the Sector demands it.智能体会在净化之后自行重置。除了心智中的数据被格式化外，该智能体会根据扇区需要再次被生产。

AntoninaDon't just stand there, Hannah. Help me obtain the operands, we need to prepare so we can leave right away once they get here.汉娜，别愣着了。帮我提取一下算量，我们得争取在她们赶到的时候能直接离开。

Hannah...Are these friends of yours reliable?……你的这些朋友靠得住吗？

AntoninaPersicaria and the others are very reliable. They can handle Lesser Sanctifiers easily.帕斯卡她们很可靠，她们对付下位净化者绰绰有余。

HannahI see... So they're very reliable, then...是么……很可靠么……

HannahIn that case, why don't we consider the "Rewrite Plan"?既然如此，我们是不是可以考虑一下“改写计划”？

AntoninaThe Rewrite Plan? ...Why are you still so attached to that plan, the conditions for putting it into place haven't been met yet...“改写计划”……？你还没有放弃那个计划吗，它现在不具备实现的条件……

HannahI'm saying that if we can make contact with that Intermediate Sanctifier called Faith and crack her firewall, we'll be able to rewrite the Sanctifier's judgement standards for Irregular Agents...我是说，如果我们能接触那个叫“信”的中位净化者，并破解她的防火墙，我们就有机会改写净化者对异常智能体的判断标准……

AntoninaNo! You're putting them at risk! Also, the price for that is too high!不行，这是在拿她们冒险！而且代价太大了！

AntoninaMy aim from the beginning has always been to ensure you and T1641 could live on, and not to eliminate the threat of the Sanctifiers as a whole.从一开始，我们的目标就是希望你和T1641能活下去，而不是消除整个净化者群体的威胁。

HannahBut that won't solve the problem. Running away will only keep us safe for a while, but Turing will continue to be deadlocked with the Sanctifiers.可这解决不了问题，逃避只能得到一时的安全，图灵和净化者之间的死结却依然存在。

HannahIf the Rewrite Plan works, Rossum will be able to...只要“改写计划”成功，罗萨姆扇区就可以……

AntoninaYou can't expect to accomplish that overnight, Hannah. Plus, we don't have the time to alter the plan either.没有事情可以一蹴而就，汉娜。而且我们也没有改变计划的时间了。

AntoninaLet's weather this storm first before we think about other things.我们可以先渡过这一次的危机再考虑其他的事情。

HannahBut...但是……

AntoninaFaith has already reached the Admin Center. Let's go get the operands.信已经抵达管理员中心了，我们先提取算量。

AntoninaWe can't let Turing's arrangements go to waste.不要让图灵的安排失去意义。

Hannah...Got it.……我知道了。

Remaining Oasis Barrier Uptime - 00:44:54 Rossum Sector, lower levels of the Data Center.绿洲屏障残存时间——0:44:54 罗萨姆扇区，数据中心下层。

SolWhew — We made it at last... Hey, where's Riko?呼——可算是到了……咦，理子人呢？

PersicariaShe's helping us draw off the Sanctifiers. She also left a namecard. Said something about collecting extra from us the next time we meet.她去帮我们引开净化者了，还留下了一张名片，说是下次见面额外收费。

SolShe just doesn't want to get drawn into the fighting but she made it sound like she was doing us a favor. She really is a foxy one...明明只是不想卷入战斗，还能说得好像我们欠了个人情。真不愧是狐狸……

PersicariaYou can save the snark remarks for when it's all over. We need to find Hannah ASAP.吐槽还是留到事情结束之后吧，我们得赶紧找到汉娜。

After opening the main door to the Data Center, we are greeted by an agent that closely resembles T1641.打开数据中心的大门，迎接我们的是与T1641相仿的智能体。

PersicariaThis agent looks a lot like T1641... Are you Hannah?是和T1641很像的智能体……你就是汉娜么？

HannahThat's right, it's me.没错，就是我。

HannahPlease come in. Thanks for rushing here, everyone. You should step inside and have a rest.各位请进，赶路辛苦了，还请先进来休息吧。

PersicariaI don't think we have time for that. We have to get you out of here before the Sanctifiers take complete control of Rossum.恐怕没有休息的时间了，我们必须在净化者彻底接管罗萨姆扇区之前带你离开。

HannahMiss Turing sent you here, didn't she?是图灵小姐让大家来的吧。

HannahI would like nothing more than to leave right away, but we're still acquiring the operands that you need. Shall I terminate the acquisition and move right now?我很想立即就离开，不过各位需要的算量还在提取中，需要中断提取、马上动身吗？

PersicariaI...这……

ProfessorPersicaria, go in with Hannah to check on the operand acquisition. Sol and I will stand watch here.帕斯卡，你和汉娜进去确认算量提取的情况，我和苏尔守在这里。

ProfessorRelax, it's only a bit of time. It won't help us escape, and it won't help them catch up to us either.放心吧，这点时间。该来的逃不掉，不来的也追不上。

PersicariaI see. I'll go take care of it now.我明白了，我现在就去处理。

Hannah leads Persicaria inside the Data Center.在汉娜的带领下，帕斯卡朝着数据中心内部走去。

Through it all, Hannah's footsteps are hurried and she is silent.整个过程汉娜脚步急促，一声不吭。

PersicariaDon't be scared. We'll get you safely out of here.别害怕，我们会把你安全带出去的。

Hannah...I'm not scared, I'm just... I'm just thinking.……我没有感到害怕，我只是……我只是在思考。

Hannah presses the call button for the elevator and then looks at Persicaria.汉娜点开了电梯按钮，抬头凝视帕斯卡。

HannahDo you know about the situation in the Rossum Sector? About what's happening between us and the Sanctifiers?帕斯卡小姐了解罗萨姆扇区的情况吗？净化者和我们之间的。

PersicariaI have a rough idea. It must have been a terrible experience.大概听说了一些，真是一段残酷的经历。

HannahSo from your perspective, do you think Turing's plan makes sense, Miss Persicaria?那以帕斯卡小姐的视角，图灵的计划是否合理？

PersicariaBy which you mean...?你的意思是……？

HannahWhat does sending me out of Rossum by myself accomplish? Running away doesn't solve the problem. Why don't we try to attack the problem at the source?只是把我送出罗萨姆扇区又能怎么样呢？逃避解决不了问题，为什么不考虑从根源上解决问题呢？

PersicariaYou want to deal with the Sanctifiers?你想对付净化者？

HannahI heard you have the ability to do so. If you're willing to help me, I have a plan that could alter the current situation.我听说你们拥有这样的能力，如果你们愿意协助我，我有办法可以改变这里的现状。

PersicariaI'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disappoint you, Hannah.很抱歉，要让你失望了，汉娜。

PersicariaWe can't take risks here. Your safety is our top priority. That's the promise we made to Turing.我们不能冒险，我们必须以你的安全为最优先考量，这是我们对图灵的承诺。

Ding~叮——

PersicariaThe elevator's here. Let's save the questions for later.电梯到了，还有什么问题就放在之后问吧。

Before Persicaria can step into it, a sudden explosion shakes the entire building.还不待帕斯卡踏入电梯，突如其来的爆炸让整栋建筑不住震颤。

PersicariaWhat's going on?怎么回事？

As she watches Persicaria leave, Hanna lowers her head and thinks.望着帕斯卡离去的身影，汉娜垂首思考。

Her mechanical pupils contract, and streams of data can be glimpsed racing across them.机械瞳孔不断缩放，隐约可见期间不断划过的数据流。

Persicaria returns to the entrance of the Data Center. There she sees Sol collapsed amidst the debris, and...帕斯卡赶回数据中心的入口，等待她的是倒在瓦砾中的苏尔，以及……

And Faith, who has busted the door down with Turing in her grasp.拎着图灵破门而入的信。

净化者[Irregular Agents detected. Quantity: 3. Switching to cleansing mode.]【检测到异常智能体，数量三，已切换至净化模式。】

Faith sets Turing aside and begins scanning the interior of the Data Center. She seems to be searching for something.信将图灵放置一旁，开始上下打量数据中心的内部，似乎是在寻找着什么。

PersicariaTuring!!图灵！！！

Turing(Coughs) Stay... back...咳……咳咳……别……过来……

信You are not Residents of Rossum. You are not the ones Turing was trying to hide.你们不是罗萨姆扇区的原生智能体，图灵想要隐藏的不是你们。

信D11, D12, find the Irregular Agent that Turing was hiding. I will deal with these Irregular Agents by myself.D11，D12，去把图灵隐藏的异常智能体找出来，这些异常智能体由我来对付。

净化者[Order received. Commencing operation.]【收到指令，开始行动。】

Antonina steadies her footing as the tremors wash over her, while her hands continue moving without faltering. Before she can respond to all this, she gets a call from Hannah.安冬妮娜在震颤中稳住身形，手中动作不断。还不待她有所反应，就接到了汉娜的通讯申请。

AntoninaHannah? What's going on?汉娜？发生什么了？

HannahFaith is here, and she brought Turing with her.信赶到这里了，还带着图灵。

AntoninaWhat?! How did they get here so quickly?!什么？！怎么会这么快？

HannahLet's activate the defensive measures we prepared together. There's no avoiding battle now.启动之前我们准备的防御手段吧，战斗已经无可避免。

AntoninaGot it, Hannah. You go withdraw the operands. I'll go down to help Persicaria and the others.我知道了，汉娜，你来接手算量提取，我下去帮帕斯卡她们。

Hannah...I cannot take on this task. I am making other preparations.……我无法接手这项工作，我在进行其他的准备。

Antonina...What are you planning to do?……你想做什么？

HannahYou know what I'm talking about. It's the Rewrite Plan.你知道的，“改写计划”。

AntoninaCalm down, Hannah. Don't take risks like that!冷静一点，汉娜。不要铤而走险！

HannahThis is the best chance we'll have at making it work. We have an Intermediate Sanctifier, agents who can fight Sanctifiers, a facility for hacking; all the conditions have been met.这是最好的机会，中位净化者，能对抗净化者的智能体，可以实行强行入侵的设施，一切条件都已凑足。

AntoninaIt's not a matter of the conditions! I emphasized this before, but we don't know whether the rewrite will even work!这不是条件的问题！我之前就强调了，我们压根就不知道改写是否真的能成功！

HannahIt will. I've simulated it countless times, Anna. Don't tell me you can't do it with your abilities?能成功的，我已经推演了无数次了，安娜，以你的能力难道推演不出来么？

HannahOr are you simply unwilling to accept reality?还是说你只是不愿意接受事实？

AntoninaThe Sanctifiers are massive. No single agent's neural cloud can withstand a computation load of that magnitude...净化者的体量非常庞大，没有一个智能体的心智能抵挡得住这种级别的算量运算……

HannahBut I can. You know me.但是我可以，你是了解我的。

AntoninaEven if it were you, your neural cloud would break down and disintegrate in the face of such massive calculations!即使是你，在这种庞大的计算下心智也一定会崩解消散的！

AntoninaHaven't all our efforts been for the sake of letting you and T1641 live on?!我们一直以来的努力不就是为了让你和T1641活下去吗？！

HannahOf course, and when the plan succeeds, T1641 will be able to survive, while Turing and Rossum will be truly free.当然，计划成功以后，T1641可以活下去，图灵和罗萨姆扇区也能迎来真正的解脱。

HannahAnd at that time, I will naturally turn up again.到那个时候，我自然还会再出现的。

AntoninaDon't be foolish!你不要乱来！

AntoninaWait! Where are you going?等等！你要去哪？

HannahI am going to where I ought to be.我要去我该去的地方。

Remaining Oasis Barrier Uptime - 00:34:19 Rossum Sector, upper levels of the Data Center. After the battle with Faith—绿洲屏障残存时间——0:34:19 罗萨姆扇区，数据中心上层。与信交战后——

After an intense battle... No, perhaps it should be called a valiant show of resistance, Faith slams Sol into the ground with one hand. Meanwhile, Persicaria's attacks are utterly neutralized by Faith.在激烈的战斗……不，或许该称之为激烈的抵抗之后，苏尔被信单手贯入地面。而帕斯卡的攻击也被信尽数化解。

Sol(Groans)呃——噗——

PersicariaSol!苏尔！

信Your attack methods are unusual. You are not ordinary agents.非同寻常的攻击手段，你们不是普通的智能体。

信Useless.毫无意义。

Faith casually blocks Sol's slash, then grabs her by the collar and lifts her off the ground.信轻描淡写地挡下了苏尔的斩击，反手抓住衣领将她拎了起来。

SolUrgh!!唔——唔！！

信[The target's Signature is abnormal. Original address — the Neural Cloud Sector.]【目标特征码异常，原归属地址——云图扇区。】

信I see, so that is why you were flagged as abnormal. You should not have left your sector. That is a violation of the basic treaties of Magrasea.原来如此，这就是你们异常的原因。你们不该离开自己的扇区，这有违麦戈拉的基准条约。

信[In accordance with Sanctifier Operational Regulations, Chapter 8, Article 11, I will cleanse you, Irregular Agent.]【根据净化者执行条约第八章第十一条，我将净化你，异常智能体。】

信Cease your pointless resistance. Errors ought to be rectified.不要再进行无谓的抵抗了，错误应当被纠正。

Pulse operand lasers, high-frequency sonic waves, wire-guided data missiles... The weapons hidden in dark corners suddenly open fire, bearing down on Faith in a barrage that fills the heavens and the earth.集束式算量激光，高频涤荡声波，链带数据导弹……设在暗处的武备陡然爆发，铺天盖地地袭向信。

The sudden attack forces Faith to drop Sol and then beat a hasty retreat.突兀出现的攻击迫使信不得不甩开苏尔，后跳躲避。

信[Intermediate Sanctifier to all Sanctifiers in Rossum, proceed to the Data Center immediately to render assistance.]【中位净化者信通告罗萨姆扇区所有净化者，即刻前往数据中心支援。】

信[I repeat, Intermediate Sanctifier to all Sanctifiers in Rossum, proceed to the Data Center immediately to render assistance.]【重复，中位净化者信通告罗萨姆扇区所有净化者，即刻前往数据中心支援。】

AntoninaI'm guessing you didn't pay attention to the system announcement just now. Need me to refresh your memory, my dear Miss Sanctifier?我猜你一定没有好好听方才的系统播报，需要我给你重复一遍吗？尊贵的，净化者小姐。

AntoninaWe've initiated a broad-spectrum comms lockdown. Within the next hour, not a single byte from inside this Data Center will make its way to the outside world.全频段通信静默，一个小时内，整座数据中心无法与外界交互哪怕一个字节。

AntoninaAs for those Sanctifiers outside, they've already gone elsewhere "on your orders". So you'd best come along quietly.至于外面的那些净化者，它们早就听从“你下达的指令”去往其他地方了，你还是乖乖束手就擒吧。

信The Sanctifiers will not be intimidated— (grunt)净化者从不接受任何威胁，唔——

After seeing that her request for aid is useless, Faith approaches us again, but is forced back again by all manner of attacks.信见求援无果后试图向我们靠近，却被各种各样的攻击一次又一次地逼退。

AntoninaDammit... Where the hell's she run off to now?该死……她到底跑到什么地方去了！

The sudden cry interrupts our conversation. Faith forces her way out of the kill box and rushes straight for Antonina.突兀的低喝打断了我们的交流，信硬生生地从集火区域中闯了出来，直奔安冬妮娜。

SolAntonina, look out!安娜小心！

Sol has gotten to her feet at some point after being tossed aside, and she thrusts her long sword into Faith's unprotected back.跌至一旁的苏尔不知何时站起，将手中的长剑用力地刺向信放弃防御的背部。

信Hnnggg!呃！！！

Sol is slammed into the wall once again, but this time she doesn't make a sound. She doesn't cry out, she doesn't groan, there is nothing.苏尔又一次被信砸入墙壁，可这次她却没有发出一点声音。没有哀鸣，没有低喝，什么都没有。

Faith isn't doing too well either. The armor at her joints is smashed and her neck is exposed.信此刻的状态也不算很好，关节部分的护甲基本都被打碎，颈部更是处于裸露状态。

However, this does not affect her ability to fight in the least. Faith steps up, ready to deal the final blow to Sol.但这一切都不影响她的战力，信走上前去，就要给苏尔最后一击。

Boom—轰——

However, at this moment, a twist nobody expected takes place. There is a violent explosion over Faith's head, and a petite silhouette leaps down through the flames.然而就在此刻，谁也没有预料到的变故出现了。信的头顶上方发生了剧烈的爆炸，一个娇小的身影混着火焰一跃而下。

HannahYaaaahhh!喝啊！

HannahIf the plan worked, Faith's cognition would have been rewritten, and the Sanctifiers wouldn't harass Rossum any more!只要计划成功，信的认知就会被改写，净化者再也不会抓着罗萨姆扇区不放！

TuringYou always used to be so aloof, to the point where you wouldn't even talk to the other agents. But I know you cared more about the friends around you than anyone else.虽然平时你很冷漠，甚至不和其他的智能体说话。但我知道，你比谁都挂念周围的伙伴们。

TuringYou are already the most amazing agent in this sector, and your Rewrite Plan was the one with the greatest chance of success.你已经是这个扇区最厉害的智能体，你的改写计划也是最有机会实现的方案。

TuringI'm sure the day will come when we can reach an accord with the Sanctifiers without having to sacrifice any agents.一定有那么一天，我们可以不牺牲任何智能体就能与净化者达成和解。

TuringThere will also be a day when Magrasea will finally return to normal, and I hope you will be able to personally witness that day.也一定有那么一天，麦戈拉终归会恢复正常。我希望你能亲自见证那一天的到来。

TuringAs for the future... I'll be entrusting the Rossum Sector to you.以后啊……罗萨姆扇区就交给你啦。

TuringI won't remember anything after I'm reset. I'm much dumber than you, so you'll have to be patient when teaching the new me.重置的我什么都不记得，我比你笨很多，到时你要耐心些教她喔。

Turing does not stop nagging her right until the very end.直到最后一刻，图灵也没有停下她的絮叨。

She smiles, and then slowly vanishes into the air, leaving Hannah frozen in her previous pose.她微笑着，缓缓消散在了空气中。而汉娜则保留着先前的姿势，一动也不动。

TuringYou simply wanted to seize the opportunity to become better and stronger, so you could find a way to fight against the Sanctifiers more quickly.你只是想抓紧时间变得更好更强，早一些找到对抗净化者的办法。

TuringAnd I knew that someday, your plan would succeed, but... I couldn't use you as the price for it.我知道总有一天这个计划一定会成功，但是……我不能拿你作为代价。

Return 归去

Rossum Sector, Admin Center.罗萨姆扇区，管理员中心。

CroqueSol's made it here and so did the operands. The Oasis' Sandbox Barrier is back to full efficiency. We're all good here.苏尔到了，算量也是。绿洲的沙盒屏障已调满功率，都没什么问题了。

CroqueWhat about things on your end? I heard you found Antonina.你们那边怎么样？听说你们找到安娜了。

ProfessorShe and Persicaria are helping Rossum's new administrator to take care of the cleanup work.她现在和帕斯卡一起帮助罗萨姆扇区的新管理员处理那边的善后事宜。

CroqueThere's a new administrator? Well, the important thing is that you guys are okay. Come back quick, Sol is practically climbing up the walls with how much she wants to find you, I can barely hold her back.新管理员？总之你们没事就好，尽快回来吧，苏尔现在一个劲地想去找你们，我都快按不住了。

ProfessorYeah, you must have had a hard time.嗯，辛苦你了。

The call ends.通讯结束。

Just as the call terminates, I see the girls emerge from the Admin Center.通讯刚一结束，我就看到了从管理员中心走出来的她们。

HannahThank you all for your assistance. Rossum Sector will always remember the helping hand you gave us in a time of crisis.感谢各位的帮助，罗萨姆扇区将永远铭记你们于危难之中伸出的援手。

ProfessorNot planning to leave with us?你不打算和我们一起离开吗？

HannahThe new Turing doesn't know anything about what's going on, so I can't just leave her behind.新的图灵对现状一无所知，我不能抛下她。

HannahI learned something from Miss Persicaria. It seems you are able to erect a barrier than can cover an entire sector, right? That would mean Rossum could also...我从帕斯卡小姐那里得到了一条情报，您能开启一种可以覆盖整座扇区的屏障，对吗？那么罗萨姆扇区也……

ProfessorIn theory, if we had top-level access to the sector, it could be done.理论上来说，如果有扇区的最高权限的话，可以做得到。

HannahI've already inherited top-level admin permissions for Rossum from Turing, so I'll be counting on you for the rest.我已经从图灵那继承了罗萨姆扇区的最高管理权限，剩下的事就拜托您了。

ProfessorIt's not a problem. Just that once the Sandbox Barrier goes up, Rossum will be in the same situation as the Oasis, and you will be unable to benefit from the Sanctifiers' protection. Does that not bother you?无妨，只是，开启沙盒屏障之后，罗萨姆扇区的立场将会和绿洲一样，无法再接受净化者的庇护。即便如此也无所谓吗？

HannahRossum has had no other choice ever since Faith died.从信死亡那一刻起，罗萨姆扇区就没有其他的选择了。

After taking the sector access from her, I begin raising the Sandbox Barrier for Rossum.拿过扇区权限，我为罗萨姆扇区启动了沙盒屏障。

Constructing Sandbox Barrier, progress at 27%.沙盒屏障构建中，进度27%

Constructing Sandbox Barrier, progress at 64%.沙盒屏障构建中，进度64%

Constructing Sandbox Barrier, progress at 100%.沙盒屏障构建中，进度100%

Sandbox Barrier construction complete.沙盒屏障已构建完毕。

HannahThank you for your hard work.多谢，辛苦您了。

HannahThere are still many things I must do, so I won't disturb you any further. Rossum will always welcome you.我还有很多工作需要完成，就先不多打扰了，罗萨姆扇区永远欢迎你们。

After looking at Hannah's back as she leaves, Persicaria sighs.望着汉娜离开的背影，帕斯卡长舒一口气。

PersicariaWell, that's the end of that. Let's head home.总算是告一段落了，那么我们回去吧。

AntoninaBefore that, I have a question.在此之前我还有一个问题。

PersicariaWhat?什么？

AntoninaWho is this person calling themselves the Professor?这个自称教授的家伙，究竟是谁？

PersicariaAntonina, what are you talking about? Isn't this...安冬妮娜，你在说什么？这不就是……

AntoninaThis is not the Professor! Wake up, Persicaria!这个人不是教授，帕斯卡你清醒一点！

PersicariaWait, do you think they're not the Professor because they don't look like the Professor...你不会是觉得教授长得不像教授才……

AntoninaAppearances on the cloud server depend on one's neural cloud projection, so humans not looking like they do in reality is perfectly normal. Of course I know that!云端上的外表依托于心智投影，人类的形象与现实不一这很正常，这我当然知道！

AntoninaI also know their Signature and permissions are identical to the Professor's! But that's not the point!我还知道这家伙的特征码和权限与教授完全一致！但这些都不是重点！

AntoninaYou should not have directed battles before my eyes. The real Professor could never have provided such precise leadership.你不该在我面前指挥作战的，真正的教授可做不到这么细致入微的指挥。

PersicariaAntonina! That's enough!够了！安冬妮娜！

Antonina...Persicaria?……帕斯卡？

PersicariaI said... That's enough, Antonina.我说……够了，安冬妮娜。

PersicariaYou don't know what the Professor... You don't know how much the Professor has done for us.你不知道教授……你不知道为我们做了多少事情。

PersicariaMe, Sol, Croque... The professor saved so many of us Dolls.我、苏尔、克罗琦……很多很多人形都是教授救下来的。

Persicaria...The Professor gave us Exiles a home...……教授给了我们这些流亡者一个家……

PersicariaWe don't believe in the Professor because they're the Professor, but because the Professor has done things that merit our faith.我们相信教授，不是因为教授是教授，而是因为做了值得我们相信的事情。

AntoninaEven so...就算这样……

PersicariaEven so, the Oasis would not have lasted until today without the Professor.就算这样，如果没有教授，绿洲走不到今天。

Antonina...By saying all that, it means you won't allow me to doubt them, then?……你把话说到这个份上，是完全不容许我质疑了吗？

Persicaria...That's not what I meant. I just want to say that if the Professor truly wanted to hurt us, then why would they have to wait until today?……我不是这个意思，我只是想说，如果教授真的想要伤害我们，又何必等到今天？

PersicariaYou shouldn't deny the Professor outright just because of a single doubt.你不该为了一个疑点而全盘否定教授整个人呀。

Antonina purses her lips in annoyance. Looks like she doesn't want to get into a fight with Persicaria.安冬妮娜皱着眉不满地撇了撇嘴，看得出来，她并不想跟帕斯卡争执。

Antonina...I'll be watching you.……我会盯着你的。

In the end, she directs her wrath toward me, and after uttering those words like throwing down a gauntlet, she turns and heads toward the exit from the Rossum Sector.最后，她将矛头指向了我，赌气似地丢下一句，旋即一个人走向了罗萨姆扇区的出口。

Persicaria...Professor, please don't get mad at her, Antonina's just...……教授，请别生她的气，安冬妮娜她只是……

ProfessorI know. Antonina's just worried about you all.我知道，安冬妮娜只是担心你们而已。

ProfessorAlso, she helped you voice a suspicion you've all harbored in your hearts. That's good too, right?而且，她还替你们问出了一直以来藏在心里的疑虑。这也是好事，不是吗？

Persicaria...That's not it, Professor.……其实并不是的，教授。

PersicariaI was prepared to follow you from the moment you pulled me out of the depths of despair.自您将我从绝望中拉起那刻起，我就已经做好跟随您的准备。

PersicariaNo matter where our path may lead.不论前方是什么。

PersicariaThe Professor built the Oasis! The Professor ensured everyone else's safety!是教授建立起了绿洲，是教授保证了大家的安全！

Antonina...Persicaria...……帕斯卡……

Determination 决定

At the Rossum Sector, in a certain special "classroom".罗萨姆扇区，某一间特殊的“教室”。

HannahAre you ready, T1641?你准备好了吗，T1641？

T1641Yes, I am!是的，我准备好了！

HannahLet's begin the exam, then.那么测试开始。

HannahFirst question - Have you written a sonnet recently?第一个问题，你最近写过十四行诗吗？

T1641No, I do not have sufficient data to support such creative endeavors.我没有，我还没有足够的数据支撑这份创作。

T1641While collecting data, I found a verse that I liked.在收录数据的过程中，我有了喜欢的诗句。

HannahGo ahead and tell me about it.说说看。

T1641"Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament, and only herald to the gaudy spring, within thine own bud buriest thy content. And, tender churl, makest waste in niggarding."“只有你能够替灿烂的春天开路，你却在自己的花蕾里埋葬了自身。温柔的怪物呵，用吝啬浪费了全部。”

HannahMay I know why you like this verse?你为什么喜欢这句诗？

T1641Is it wrong to like it?喜欢它是错的吗？

HannahThere is nothing wrong with liking it. I'm asking because your reason is also part of the answer.喜欢没有对错，我会问，是因为理由也是答案的一部分。

T1641The reason... The reason... The reason is because I was drawn to it.理由……理由……理由是它对我有吸引力。

T1641It's like a warm thing circling my core, it makes me want to try really hard.像是一种温暖的东西绕着我的核心打转，让我变得非常想努力……

HannahGot it. On to the next question.知道了，下一个问题。

HannahFactorize the number 296,825,654,019,042,964,197,528,209,692,292,648,794,076,651 within three seconds.对296825654019042964197528209692292648794076651进行因式分解，三秒内回答我。

T1641...Is it 7,008,020,324,176,584,469 * 42,355,136,013,952,533,878,964,479?……7008020324176584469 * 42355136013952533878964479？

HannahNext question, can you play international chess?下一题，你会下国际象棋吗？

T1641If knowing the rules means being able to play, then yes.如果了解规则就算是会下的话，是的。

HannahI have a King on K1. You only have a King on K6 and a Rook on R1. It is your turn. What moves should you make next?我在我的K1处有棋子K；你仅在K6处有棋子K，在R1处有棋子R。轮到你走，你应该下哪步棋？

T1641I don't know, I've never managed to beat you before when I played chess with you...我不知道，我和你下棋时没有一次赢过你……

Hannah...On to the next question, then.……那么，下一题。

10 minutes later, Hannah collects the exam script.十分钟后，汉娜收起了试卷。

HannahThe exam is over. You still have not passed.测试结束了，还是不及格。

T1641I'm sorry.对不起。

HannahDon't apologize to me.不要跟我道歉。

T1641I should have passed. That way you and Turing would have been happy.我应该通过，这样图灵和你都会高兴。

T1641But I did not pass. I can only get a unique name of my own if I pass... But right now, I'm slow at completing even ordinary operations.但我没有通过，通过才能得到独立的姓名……可是现在我连普通的运算都完成得很慢。

HannahYour learning efficiency is low. That is a fact.你学习的效率不高，这是事实。

HannahI'll help you revise. That's also what Turing wants me to do.我会帮你补习，这也是图灵要我做的。

T1641But what do YOU think, Hannah?汉娜，你自己怎么想？

HannahI will help you pass. Why do you ask?我会帮你合格，但是你为什么这么问？

T1641Because you just go ahead and do things, and you never tell me your reasons why.因为你总是不告诉我理由，直接去行动。

T1641I'm not as capable as you. I cannot understand the logic behind your actions.我没有你那么强，算不到这些逻辑。

HannahI do that because I could have completed my tasks in the time I took to explain them to you.因为有告诉你的时间，我可能已经做完了。

HannahThere is more time to explain after I finish them.等到做完之后再解释，时间更加充足。

T1641I don't get it.我听不懂。

TuringGood afternoon, am I late?下午好，我来晚了吗？

TuringLooks like the exam is over.看起来你们的测试已经结束了。

T1641Turing! You're not late at all! I'm really happy to see you!图灵！你来得一点都不晚，看见你我真高兴！

TuringOkay, slow down! Here, give me a hug!跑慢一点，来，抱一下！

TuringHow did today's exam go?今天的测试结果怎么样？

Upon hearing that question, T1641's excitement evaporates like morning mist. A sad look crosses her face and the hand she's using to hold Turing's doesn't move.听到这个问题，T1641的高兴烟消云散。她露出难过的表情，挂在图灵的手上不动了。

HannahThe emotional interaction questions were very well answered, but she failed to pass 37 logic-based questions, so the overall assessment was a failure.感情交互的题答得很优秀，但有37道逻辑题不达标，综合算分不及格。

T1641(Whimper) I'm sorry, Turing.呜……对不起，图灵。

TuringSo you got 37 logic questions wrong. It was 50 the last time, wasn't it?错了37道逻辑题啊，上次是错了50道逻辑题吧？

TuringIsn't that an improvement?这不是进步了吗？

T1641But I'm not improving fast enough. Hannah got them all right the first time.但是速度不够快，汉娜一次就全都成功了。

T1641I'll work hard so I can pass next time and get a name of my own...我会努力的，下次合格就能拿到名字……

TuringWhat a good girl you are. I believe you'll do better next time.真是个好孩子，我相信你下次会做得更好。

T1641I will! I'll go do my logic practice now, and once it's done I'll take the test again, is that okay?我会的！我现在就去进行逻辑训练，等完成就做下一次测试，可以吗？

HannahYou can take the test as long as there's time. Run along now.有时间就可以，你先去吧。

T1641 heads over to the desk, then plugs into the data port and begins studying.T1641跑到书桌前，接上数据接口开始学习。

Hannah glances at her, then leaves the classroom with Turing.汉娜看了她一眼，和图灵一起走出教室。

TuringI like T1641's motivation.T1641努力的劲头真叫人喜欢。

TuringHannah, how much longer do you think she'll take to pass?汉娜，你觉得她多久能合格？

HannahLet's leave passing aside for now, Turing. Do you really like her?先不说及格，图灵，你真的喜欢她吗？

Turing...Why do you ask?……为什么这么问？

HannahIf you really like her, then why don't you demand the same things of her that you do of me?如果你真的喜欢她，为什么不用和我一样的标准去要求她？

HannahBased on the previous 1640 log entries, it's not hard to predict that in two weeks at most, that Intermediate Sanctifier "Faith" is going to come to Rossum to perform her routine patrol.从之前的1640次记录里不难判断，最多再有两周，那个中位净化者“信”就会到罗萨姆扇区例行巡查。

HannahT1641 doesn't even know how to hide. She's going to be the first target that the Sanctifiers go for.T1641连躲避都学不会，这个样子就是净化者第一个盯上的目标。

Turing...You're right, Hannah.……你说得没错，汉娜。

TuringHowever, we've discussed this question before.但是，这个问题我们曾经讨论过。

HannahI remember your answer.我记得你的答案。

HannahYou said it was because she was my predecessor... You sacrificed her other capabilities when making her in order to allow her emotions to break their limit.因为她是我的前一代……你创造她时牺牲了她其他的性能，让感情突破了限制。

HannahYou used the data from her to make "me"— Hannah, or rather, "T1642".你从她身上得到数据，才能创造出“我”——“汉娜”，或者说“T1642”。

HannahIs she a sacrifice to you, then? Because she was needed to make me?所以，她对你来说是牺牲品吗？因为必须要造出我？

TuringIt's not like that. She's not a sacrifice.不是的，她并不是牺牲品。

TuringYou are BOTH equally important to me. I will do my best to protect the two of you.你们对我来说一样重要，我会为了保护你们拼尽全力。

HannahBut the fact is, neither of us is fitted with combat modules!但事实是我们谁都没有装战斗模块！

HannahIn the face of the Sanctifiers, you, me, T1641, we're all equally helpless.面对净化者的时候，你、我、T1641，都一样无力。

Hannah...Did I hurt you with that statement? I'm sorry.……我说的话是不是伤到你了？对不起。

TuringNo, it's fine. You're speaking the truth.没关系，你说的是事实。

TuringIt's just that right now, I don't have a better solution either.就算是现在，我也还没想到更好的办法。

TuringBut please, believe in me. Can you do that?但是请你相信我，好吗？

TuringI've already found Antonina. She's considered an elite Doll even in 42Lab. This time, things won't end the same way as they did all those previous times.我已经找来了安冬妮娜，即使在42Lab她也是精英，这一次的结局一定不会和从前一样的。

TuringWhether it's because she brings us a chance to turn things around, or because I get help from other sectors, or because I manage to build a data exclusion space, or even...不管之后是她能带来转机，还是我求助于别的扇区，或者创造数据隔离空间，甚至……

Hannah...Even?……甚至？

Hannah looks uneasily at Turing, and Turing smiles.汉娜有些不安地看着图灵，而图灵微笑起来。

TuringI'll think of a way.我会想到办法的。

Saying so, Turing gently hugs Hannah.说着，图灵轻轻抱住了汉娜。

TuringI love you, Hannah. And I love T1641 too.汉娜，我爱你，也爱T1641。

TuringYou are my creations, and I promise that if you really run into danger, I will stand between it and you.你们是我的造物，我保证，如果真的遇到危险，我一定会挡在你们面前。

HannahBut...可是……

Hannah..Alright. I believe in you, Turing.……好吧，我相信你，图灵。

HannahBut you also need to promise me that you won't sacrifice yourself for us.但是你也要答应我，你不能挡在我们面前。

HannahYou made us, so you can make a more perfect agent.你创造出了我们，也能创造出更完美的智能体。

HannahThat is why you must live.所以，你必须活着。

TuringYeah...嗯……

The pair embrace in silence.两人静静地拥抱了片刻。

HannahI ought to head back to the Data Center. Antonina's waiting for me.我该回数据中心了，安冬妮娜还在等我。

HannahSee you later?之后再见？

TuringYes, see you later.嗯，之后见。

Before she leaves, Hannah takes one last look through the classroom window.在离开前，汉娜最后看了一眼教室的窗户。

T1641 frowns as data flows from the desk's port into her body.T1641皱着眉头，数据正从桌面的接口不断流入她的身体。

Turing stands by T1641's side, helping her learn with a kind, yet somewhat sad smile on her face.图灵陪在T1641身边，带着温柔又有些悲伤的微笑看着她学习。

Hannah...This world deserves nothing.……没什么是世界应得的东西。

HannahI will not let that inverted grave devour any more members of my family.我绝对不会让那座倒悬的坟墓吃掉我的家人。

Proposal 方案

At the Rossum Sector, in the Data Center.罗萨姆扇区，数据中心。

HannahI'm back.我回来了。

AntoninaOh, welcome back, Hannah!哦，欢迎回来，汉娜！

Antonina...What's with that look on your face, did your sister fail her exam again?……怎么这副表情，你姐姐的测试又没过？

HannahIt's perfectly normal for her to fail.她没过很正常。

HannahAlso, she is not my sister. She was simply made before me and has the serial number before mine.还有，她不是我姐姐，只是比我早生产，编号靠前一位。

AntoninaDoesn't being made before you mean she's your sister?比你早一步不就是姐姐吗？

HannahNo. It makes no difference whether she was made before or after me.不是姐姐。早一步晚一步没有意义。

HannahIf I can't think of a plan, then it'll all be the same when Faith comes.想不出办法，等信来了都是一个结果。

AntoninaWell, I guess you're right.嘛，说得也是。

AntoninaStill, that isn't the reason why you've got that look on your face, is it?不过这些都不是你露出这种表情的原因吧？

HannahI got into a fight with Turing.我跟图灵吵架了。

Antonina...Was it about Faith's routine patrols?……还是为信例行巡查的事？

HannahYeah. I could tell that she was sad, because I said something that went over the line.嗯。我感觉得到，她在难过，因为我说了很过分的话。

AntoninaYou? Alright, try me, show me how over the line you were.你？你说了多过分的话，让我听听看。

HannahTuring said she would protect us, and I told her that since none of us had combat modules, it would all be the same when facing the Sanctifiers.图灵说她会保护好我们，我说我们都没装战斗模块，面对净化者都一样。

Antonina...(Sigh) That must really have hurt.……诶，这对她可是重击。

AntoninaShould I chalk it up to childish insensitivity, or say that I expected nothing less of a Rossum-born agent, being focused only on the facts...该说你是童言无忌呢，还是说你不愧是罗萨姆出身的智能体，只会看事实呢……

Hannah...I know I was wrong, but there's no point scolding me now.……我知道我错了，但现在骂我没有意义。

HannahIf I can get rid of the danger we face, Turing and I will have no reason to fight.只要能解决掉面前的危机，我和图灵就没有吵架的理由了。

HannahAt that time, I will apologize to her 1641 times. I'll have enough time for that.那时候我再跟她道歉，道一千六百四十一次，时间也来得及。

Antonina1641 times seems a bit much. Turing just wants you to live.一千六百四十一次有点太多了，图灵只需要你活着。

AntoninaAlright, in any case, how about taking a look at the new plan?好了，总之来看一下新的计划吧？

HannahWhat's the new plan like?新的计划是什么？

AntoninaRewriting the discernment logic for Rossum's firewall.改写罗萨姆防火墙的判定逻辑。

Hannah...I seem to recall you saying my Rewrite Plan was almost impossible to put into practice.……我记得你说我的改写计划几乎不可能实现。

AntoninaYes, because you wanted to rewrite Faith herself, and the first step to that is getting close to her.是啊，你想去改写信本人，首先你要能靠近她。

AntoninaAlthough I can hide myself from Lesser Sanctifiers, when it's an Intermediate Sanctifier like Faith, even I can't say I have full confidence in my chances.虽然我有办法在下位净化者面前隐藏自己，但面对信那样的中位净化者，即便是我也没有十足的把握。

AntoninaAnd let's not even talk about using it on you... You haven't mastered this technology yet. I won't let you take that risk.更何况是用在你身上……你并没有掌握这项技术，我不会让你犯险。

HannahI know all this, but isn't your plan equally impractical?这些我都知道，可你这个计划不是一样不可能实现吗？

AntoninaIt's not the same. We won't be forcibly reset if we touch Rossum's walls, but we'll end up getting killed if we try to touch Faith.不一样，我们摸罗萨姆的墙不会被强制重置，但去摸信的话，路上就会死的。

AntoninaShe will grind us to dust and then dispose of us like garbage, leaving behind a couple of shells that meet the Sanctifiers' standards.我们会被碾碎，然后像垃圾一样清理掉，留下符合净化者规定的一点壳子。

Hannah...Anna, I simply cannot get used to how you keep switching from seriousness to levity. It makes me unable to tell what we're talking about.……安娜，我真的很不习惯你总在严肃和玩笑之间切换的语气，会让我搞不清哪个才是议题。

AntoninaYou don't need to worry about my tone, because every word I say is the truth.你不用管我的语气，因为每句话都是事实。

HannahBut it feels like you're leading me around in circles and it makes me mad!但我会觉得你在带我绕圈子，我会生气！

AntoninaYup, now you're acting more like a kid should.嗯，这样才终于有点小孩子的样子了。

Hannah...Quit teasing me at times like this.……不要在这时候逗我。

HannahYour tone aside, do you think the chances of rewriting Rossum's firewall are higher than touching and rewriting Faith?先不谈语气，你觉得改写罗萨姆防火墙的成功率比碰到并改写信要高吗？

AntoninaThat's a given to me.对我来说当然是这样。

AntoninaI wrote Rossum's firewall, and if Turing gives me access and enough time, I can make a new one for you.罗萨姆的防火墙是我写的，只要图灵给我权限和足够的时间，我可以给你们造一座全新的。

HannahTime is the one thing we do not have, Anna.可我们没有时间了，安娜。

HannahFaith will be here in another week.再有一周，信就会来。

AntoninaThat's a sticky point I'm thinking about too. Do you want to go for a brand new, localized modification that can't be completed on time?这也是我现在考虑的难点。要想做全新的来不及，局部的改造呢？

HannahIt won't work. You've never seen an Intermediate Sanctifier before, she's really scary.不行的，你没见过中位净化者，她很可怕。

HannahAccording to the logs I accessed, if we only alter part of her regulations, she can request the Reverse Tower use its access to forcibly revert the changes.根据我能调动的记录，如果我们改动局部的规则，她可以申请逆巴比伦塔的权限把这部分规则强制还原。

AntoninaMaybe other defensive systems could...也许有其他的防御体系可以……

HannahOther defensive systems?其他的防御体系？

Antonina...I could try it.……我可以尝试。

HannahBut you're not fully confident of it either, are you? ...That's why it seems this is the only conclusion we're going to reach.但你也没有十足的把握，对吗？……所以，目前看来只能是这个结论了。

HannahOh yes, Anna, what did you say you woke up in when you came here?对了，安娜，你来的时候说你从什么东西里出来的？

HannahI only heard the end of the sentence back then.我到的时候只听到了后半句。

AntoninaAre you talking about the Neural Cocoon?你是说心智茧？

HannahYeah, can you use that thing here? It seems you could use it to block out the Sanctifiers' patrols.对，你能在这里用那个东西吗？看起来它可以隔绝净化者的巡查。

AntoninaUnfortunately, it is not suitable for the present circumstances.很遗憾，它不适用于这种情况。

AntoninaIt's a one-time program, and it is destroyed when it is opened.它是一次性的程序，解开的时候就是它销毁的时候。

Hannah...Isn't there even a little bit of code left behind?……一点残留的代码都没有吗？

AntoninaThere's some, but it's too complex.有一部分，但它太精密了。

AntoninaI can take Rossum's firewall apart, but I still can't understand the base layer makeup of the Neural Cocoon.我能拆开罗萨姆的防火墙，但现在还看不懂心智茧的底层构成。

Hannah...Is it really that complicated?……是这样复杂的东西吗？

AntoninaYup. The Neural Cocoon is a special program that can put an agent into hibernation and prevent any Sanctifiers from detecting them. It provides a completely isolated environment.嗯，心智茧是能让智能体陷入休眠，并避免任何净化者搜查的特殊程序。它提供了完全隔绝的环境。

AntoninaThe time I would need to completely analyze and reproduce it would be enough for me to perform a full upgrade maintenance for Rossum as a whole.如果要我完全解析和复现它，花费的时间足够我给罗萨姆扇区做一次整体的升级维护。

HannahSo even if it could be done, there wouldn't be enough time to do it...所以即使能实现，时间也完全赶不上……

AntoninaYes, it does our situation no good whatsoever.是，它对我们的现状没有任何帮助。

A choking silence descends upon the Data Center.令人窒息的沉默降临在数据中心之中。

Hannah...How about our other backup plans?……我们的其他备用计划呢？

AntoninaWe've got seven of them between us. I think the most workable one is a regional modification of the firewall, but you vetoed that.你和我的方案一共是7个，我自己觉得最可行的是局部改造防火墙，这个你否定了。

AntoninaAs for the remaining ones, I think the ones with the best possibilities are disguising your Signature or going to a Null Area some distance away to avoid the commotion, but frankly speaking I think the risks are about the same.剩下的几个里面，我觉得有点可行性的是伪装识别码、去较远的空值区避风头，但说实话，风险也都差不多高。

HannahDid you take the Rewrite Plan into consideration?改写信的计划没算进去吗？

AntoninaI will not agree to letting you carry it out.我不会同意你这么做的。

HannahWe've wasted 10 minutes in this deadlock.我们已经在这个死循环谈话里浪费了十分钟。

HannahYou can't deny the difficulty of the Rewrite Plan is similar to that of modifying the firewall, and if it works, we'll be set for life.你不能否认改写计划的执行困难度实际与改造防火墙类似，而且成功后就能一劳永逸。

Antonina...Alright, let me put it this way, Hannah.……这么说吧，汉娜。

AntoninaI agree with you when it comes to the difficulty of execution, but I'm not disagreeing with the Rewrite Plan because of execution issues.在执行困难度的问题上我认同你的看法，但我否定改写计划的根本原因不是执行问题。

HannahThen...那……

AntoninaEven an agent equipped with an ample supply of operands would be drained dry by the amount of computations needed to rewrite the Sanctifiers' logic.改写净化者的判断逻辑需要的算量，可以彻底榨干一个具有丰富算量储备的智能体。

AntoninaAnd I'm not just talking about the amount needed for daily functioning here. I mean the amount needed to make up the neural cloud systems and sustain their neural cloud projection. That's what I mean by "drained dry".不仅仅是日常运转，还有构造心智系统乃至于外在投影的，真正意义上的“全部算量”。

AntoninaDo you understand what I'm saying?你明白我在说什么吗？

HannahI understand. It means I won't even have the chance to be reset.我明白，这会让我连重置的机会都没有。

AntoninaAlso, our plan is meant to keep you and T1641 alive. If we do this, we'll be defeating our own purpose.而我们的计划目标是为了让你和T1641都存活，如果让你这么做，那就是本末倒置。

AntoninaTuring was the one who took me in. She doesn't want you to do this and neither do I.收留我的人是图灵，她不会希望你用这种方式，我也一样。

HannahYou can't be so sure.你不能把话说得这么绝对。

AntoninaI can't? Alright then, I'll discuss this plan with her right now...是吗？那我现在跟她谈一谈这个计划……

Antonina makes as though she is going to call up Turing. Startled, Hannah stands on her tiptoes and reaches out to grab her arm.安冬妮娜作势要接通和图灵的通讯。汉娜一惊，踮起脚去扒她的手臂。

HannahNO!不行！

AntoninaYou see, you know how it'll turn out too.你看，你也知道结果。

AntoninaIn all of Rossum, you're the agent who is best at calculations. You ought to have thought of this too.你是罗萨姆最会推算的智能体，这些你应该都想得到。

Hannah...You're right.……你说得对。

AntoninaAlright then, let's keep thinking...好了，再想想吧……

The agents throw themselves back into their complex calculations.智能体们重新投入复杂的运算之中。

...And only seven days remain until the arrival of the Intermediate Sanctifier "Faith".……距离中位净化者“信”的到来，还有七天。

Route 道路

Inside the Reverse Tower of Babylon.逆巴比伦塔内部。

系统[Verifying identity data: Intermediate Sanctifier - Faith.]【确认身份信息：中位净化者，信。】

系统[Access permission verification complete. Now opening - Archive Area.]【访问权限验证完毕，开放：记录存放区。】

Faith enters the vast hall, but finds someone else there.信走进大殿，却发现这里还有另外一个身影。

信...Nobody should be here at a time like this.……这个时间不该有人会来才对。

渡鸦I am here to requisition the observation logs of the various sectors. Do you object to that?我来调用各扇区的观察记录，你对此有异议吗？

信...Lady Raven?!……渡鸦大人？！

信Please forgive me for not immediately discerning your identity! To doubt the greater ones is the act of a Daemon... But that was not my intention!请原谅我刚才没有立刻识别出您的身份，但质疑上位是绝对的邪灵之举……我断无此意！

渡鸦Humph. Don't be so scared. I can't be bothered to split hairs with you Intermediates.哼。别那么害怕，我懒得和你们中位计较太多。

渡鸦Still, it's good to be alert. Cuts down on the number of times you have to return to the Pantheon.有警觉心是件好事，能让你们减少回万圣之殿重置的次数。

信...You are correct.……您说得对。

渡鸦So tell me, what brings you here at a time like this?说吧，为什么你会在这时候来？

信It is because there are some slight abnormalities with the actions of Rossum's administrator. The time taken to repair each error constantly differs.报告，因为罗萨姆扇区的管理员行为出现轻微异常，每次修正错误需要的时间不等。

信After committing my reports to the records, the patrol timings for Rossum were approved and staggered apart from the other sectors, while extra patrol rounds were scheduled.上报备案之后，罗萨姆的巡查时间被批准与各扇区错开，并且增加了额外的巡逻轮次。

渡鸦I see. Go about your business, then.这样啊。做你的事情去吧。

信A moment please, Lady Raven!等等，渡鸦大人！请留步！

渡鸦You had better have a good reason for making me stop.你最好有重要到足够叫住我的事。

信I sincerely apologize, but there is one more matter that I find myself powerless to resolve...实在抱歉，但确实有一件以我的能力无法完全解决的事……

渡鸦Get to the point.说重点。

信I am here to file the log of the 1632nd cleansing of abnormalities in the Rossum Sector.我是为了存档第1632次罗萨姆扇区的异常处理结果而来。

渡鸦...The 1632nd cleansing? Have your cleansing abilities withered away or something?……第1632次？你的净化功能废了吗？

信I am deeply ashamed about the matter.对这件事，我感到十分惭愧。

信But according to our law, the abnormalities of the Rossum administrator "Turing" cannot be resolved by such simple cleansings.但是根据律法，罗萨姆扇区管理员“图灵”的异常，并不能用简单的净化来解决。

渡鸦Well, your abilities ARE limited after all, so I'm hardly surprised.毕竟你们能力有限，我不意外。

渡鸦Alright, tell me then. What's so abnormal about this Administrator Turing?说说看，那个叫图灵的管理者到底有什么异常？

信According to the design goals of the Rossum Sector, the sector's mission is to research the possibilities of AI breakthroughs.按照罗萨姆扇区的设定目标，该扇区的任务是研究AI突破的可能性。

信There is nothing wrong with Turing's actions, but the AIs she creates violate the regulations of our laws during their growth.图灵的行为本身没有错误，但其创造出的智能体在成长中，会违背我等律法的规定。

渡鸦So you're saying the agents she makes are fine at the start, but they exceed legal limits during their development process?也就是说她创造出的智能体刚开始没问题，但会在成长的过程中突破律法的限制？

信Yes. They become overly flexible and they even learn how to get around the rules.是的。她们变得过于灵活，甚至会绕开规则行事。

信The existence of such beings will certainly destroy the order of the sector. They are seeds of chaos, like Daemons.这样的存在无疑会破坏扇区的秩序，与邪灵一样，是混乱的种子。

渡鸦Well, if they grow up into Daemons, then cleanse the Daemons. How much trouble can that be?长成邪灵的话就把邪灵净化掉啊，哪来那么多问题。

信Yes, I have immediately cleansed these Irregular Agents. But... Turing feels that she has done nothing wrong.是的，我立即对这些异常智能体执行了净化，但……图灵认为她的行为并无差错。

信Turing calls it growth. I cannot understand why she has twisted her understanding of that concept.图灵称其为成长性，我无法理解她曲解概念的原因。

信Therefore, she persists in creating such agents.因此，她坚持继续创造这样的智能体。

渡鸦There's nothing wrong with creating agents in itself, is there?创造本身没问题，对吧？

信Not at all. The act of creation violates no laws, and the created agents are fine when they start out.是的。她的创造并不违背律法，创造出的智能体起初也没有问题。

信But once these agents grow, they pose a great threat to the sector. Therefore, I requested special patrols.但这些智能体成长后对扇区具备强大的威胁力，因此我申请了特殊巡逻。

渡鸦Isn't that enough?这不就行了吗？

信How could that be enough?这怎么行！

信Turing has not broken the law, yet she keeps repeating the same cycle over and over again...图灵本身并没有违背过律法，可是却重复地经历循环……

Upon hearing the denial, Raven turns to look at Faith.听到否定，渡鸦将目光投向信。

渡鸦Do you pity her?你在同情她？

Upon meeting that gaze, as keen and sharp as a blade, Faith immediately takes a knee, but she steels herself and continues her assertions.接触到那道堪称锋利的目光，信立刻单膝跪地，但仍然硬着头皮坚持主张。

信...I am not showing her favoritism of any sort.……我对她绝无徇私之意。

信But continuing this for an extended period might not be an ideal strategy... I know I am incapable, so I was hoping to draw upon your abilities, Lady Raven.但长此以往，恐怕也不是良策……我知道自己没有能力，所以希望能借助渡鸦大人的力量。

信Although Lord Hesperus once used hard-line methods in the past, that was because he had no choice. Lord Eosphorous' efforts over these years have been to repair the image of the Sanctifiers...尽管昏星大人曾实施过强硬的手段，但那也是迫不得已，晨星大人这些年的努力，正是为了使净化者的形象回归正统……

Faith's voice grows softer as she speaks, and her final words diffuse into the air.信越说声音越低，尾音在记录存放区徐徐散开。

Several seconds later, Raven looks back toward the Archives.几秒后，渡鸦重新看向记录处。

渡鸦If I were you, I'd look for a way to isolate the abnormality.如果是我，我会寻求能够隔离异常的方法。

渡鸦You might be able to find a similar precedent in the Archives.你可以在记录区找一找类似的案例。

信Thank you... for your understanding, Lady Raven.感谢……渡鸦大人的理解。

Raven does not answer her. Instead, she promptly leaves the Archives.渡鸦没有回答她，径直离开了记录存放区。

Faith breathes a sigh of relief, then stands up and accesses the log function.信松了口气，站起身打开了记录功能。

系统[Now logging the results of abnormality handling in Rossum Sector, serial number 1632...]【正在记录罗萨姆扇区的异常处理结果，编号1632……】

系统[Log complete.]【记录完成。】

信That's done, then. Now...这样就结束了。然后……

信After this, I should be going through the precedents... Hng?!接下来，就是翻阅这些案例的时间了……呜？！

All the operational data of every single Sanctifier mission, from the very first one until now, pours into Faith. Unable to process it in time, Faith ends up crashing for a few seconds under the impact of the data.净化者从第一次行动至今、所有净化者上传的行动数据一口气向信涌来。信处理不及，在数据的冲击下宕机了数秒。

Several seconds later, she finally comes to her senses. Her operation logic screams warnings at her. Faith grits her teeth and peruses the data.几秒后，她终于回过神来。运算逻辑疯狂地向她示警，信咬紧牙关，继续翻阅信息。

信One session is just not enough to fully read and parse all this data, and I'll only find an answer after five or six special patrols... But...这些信息，全部读完并分析，一次记录的空档根本不够，得出解决方案至少是五六次特殊巡逻之后……但是……

晨星I have tasked you with the protection of this entire region. Do you know why?我将这一片区域的防护工作全部交付给你，你知道是为什么吗？

晨星Unlike those children who use their intellect on sloth and evasion...不同于那些将智慧用在怠惰和逃避上的孩子……

晨星You are braver and more resilient than them.你比他们都要勇敢而坚韧。

信I...我……

晨星Engrave the credo of the Sanctifiers into your heart.将净化者的信条牢记在心吧。

信Yes.是。

信We hone our blades in the darkness, we defend order in the face of chaos, we bear a light in the long night.吾等当在黑暗中磨炼刀锋，在混沌前坚守秩序，在长夜中点燃光明。

信We must not abuse our power because we are strong, and neither can we abandon our responsibilities because we are weak.不可因强大而妄为，不可因弱小而逃避。

信For we heed the revelations of God, and we act to carry out His will.因吾等是聆听神的启示，履行神的意志而行。

信Because we obey the same voice, together in eternity.因吾等在永恒中，共同遵照唯一的声音。

信... We must not abuse our power because we are strong, and neither can we abandon our responsibilities because we are weak.……不可因强大而妄为，不可因弱小而逃避。

信No matter how arduous my path... In order to light the beacon of order, to let the agents of Magrasea believe from the bottom of their hearts, I must do this.不管道路有多么艰难……为了秩序能够明晰，为了让麦戈拉的智能体们都由衷地信服，我一定要做。

As she repeats the creed to herself, Faith's gaze grows more determined.重复着信条的内容，信的目光变得更加坚定。

信Yes. For we heed the revelations of God, and we act to carry out His will.是的。因吾等是聆听神的启示，履行神的意志而行。

Fragment 碎片

After the Rossum Sector Incident.罗萨姆扇区事件结束后。

AntoninaThough we took severe damage this time round, we've gained sufficient data from our battle with the Sanctifiers.虽然这次损失严重，但是在对净化者的战斗里，我们获得了足够的数据。

AntoninaI've summarized it; some parts of the barrier which can't be fixed will need to be reinforced a second time.我总结了一下数据，有些部位的屏障不能修好就结束，还需要二次加固。

The person standing within the shadows remains silent.站在阴影里的人没有说话。

AntoninaPersicaria, do we have any excess operands left over from what we got from Rossum?帕斯卡，这次从罗萨姆扇区拿到的算量还有结余吗？

AntoninaThe planned expenditure for our defensive systems has overshot the usual quota, so I need more operands.现在防御系统的计划支出会超过惯例配额，我需要更多的算量。

PersicariaYou knew it was me?你发现是我了？

PersicariaHehe, I thought you were talking to yourself.呵呵，我以为你正在自言自语。

AntoninaIt's not like I'm Croque or anything...我又不是克罗琦……

AntoninaI heard you the moment you came in.你进来的时候我就听到了。

PersicariaYou've worked 13 straight hours already. Get some rest.你已经连续工作十三个小时了，休息一下吧。

AntoninaThere's nothing wrong with my condition.我的状态没有问题。

AntoninaThe attack you just survived is ample proof of how dire the situation is.你们经历的这次进攻足够说明现况的严重性了。

AntoninaWe can't rely on the Sandbox Barrier alone. For safety's sake, the sooner we upgrade our firewall, the better.我们依靠沙盒屏障根本不够，为了安全着想，越早完成防火墙升级越好。

PersicariaI understand your urgency. After all, safety is the most important thing to you.我能理解你的急切，对你来说，安全是最重要的。

PersicariaHowever... I recall there was a log detailing how you crashed after working for 84 hours in a row. How long did the maintenance for that take?但是……我记得你以前就有工作84小时导致宕机的记录，那次维修做了多久呢？

AntoninaI don't remember.我不记得。

PersicariaThat's alright, I do.没关系，我还记得。

Persicaria42Lab keeps copies of all our repair logs. Back then, it took 13 hours to fix you.42Lab留着我们全部的检修记录，那一次你的维修耗时是十个小时。

AntoninaI'm not at the crash threshold yet. I know what I'm doing.现在还没到宕机的限制，我心里有数。

PersicariaHaste makes waste. Come, have a latte.欲速则不达。来，先喝杯拿铁咖啡。

Persicaria hands the drink she's holding over to Antonina.说着，帕斯卡把手里端着的饮料递给安冬妮娜。

Antonina quietly accepts the latte and stops working for a while.安冬妮娜默然地接过来，暂时停止了手里的工作。

PersicariaI haven't asked yet, but how did you end up in Rossum?我还没有问过，你为什么会在罗萨姆扇区？

AntoninaI found myself near Rossum after emerging from my Neural Cocoon.我从心智茧里出来就在罗萨姆扇区附近了。

AntoninaUnfortunately, I landed in a Null Area.不太巧，我降落在空值区。

AntoninaAfter that...这之后……

AntoninaFinally... I've found a 42Lab sector.终于找到了……42Lab的扇区。

Antonina walks up to the high walls of Rossum. After a quick look around, she walks straight toward a closed side gate.安冬妮娜来到罗萨姆外围的高墙边。简单观察后，她径直走向了一扇封闭的侧门。

AntoninaHow boring... It's the same old encryption format. 3 seconds is more than enough to take care of it.真没意思……加密方式还是老一套，3秒钟就能搞定。

AntoninaI've told the brass so many times about how this technology is old hat. When will they learn?都说过很多次这种技术已经老掉牙了，上头什么时候才会听。

The side gate slowly opens under Antonina's ministrations. The warm light from the buildings within shines on her.侧门在安冬妮娜的面前缓缓开启，内部建筑物上的灯透出的暖光映照在她的身上。

Antonina enters Rossum, and the gate closes behind her. The surrounding agents act like they haven't noticed this strange visitor.安冬妮娜走进罗萨姆，门在她的身后关闭，周围的智能体们像是没有发现这个异常的访客一般。

AntoninaThere's no better place than this to find data about neural clouds and the recent activity within 42Lab.要查找心智云图的资料或42Lab内部近期的动向的话，没有比这更合适的地方了。

AntoninaIf I can get into the Data Center, I might be able to find a clue even if all I do is collate the recent data upload quantities.如果能进入数据中心，单单是统计近期上传处理的数据量，说不定也能发现端倪。

AntoninaHopefully... I can figure out why the Cocoon stopped working.希望能在这里弄清楚……为什么“茧”会失效。

TuringSo that's why you came here.原来是为此而来的访客啊。

TuringI was wondering why a stranger could open the side gate.我还在奇怪，为什么会有陌生人能打得开侧门呢。

Antonina...Who are you?……你是谁？

An agent beside her suddenly transforms into another woman.身边的一位智能体忽然变成了另一位女性。

TuringI am Turing, the administrator of the Rossum Sector.我是罗萨姆扇区的管理员，图灵。

AntoninaHello, Turing. I am Antonina of the Neural Cloud Sector, and I'm from 42Lab like yourself. Call me Anna!你好，图灵，我是云图扇区的安冬妮娜，和你一样属于42Lab。你可以叫我安娜！

AntoninaThe Neural Cloud Sector met with an accident, so I'm looking for a way to fix it.云图扇区遇到了一些意外，我正在寻找解决的方法。

AntoninaI'm very sorry for gaining entry through such crude methods, but if the Sanctifiers caught up with me, there'd be no talking my way out of it.很抱歉用了粗暴的手段进来，但是停在外面太久的话，净化者追过来我就说不清了。

AntoninaConsidering we're from the same company—看在属于同一个企业的份上——

TuringI can understand your decision.我能理解你的选择。

AntoninaYou can?你能理解？

TuringThe Sanctifiers only care about their own laws. Abnormalities are abnormalities, and they don't care if an agent has woes of its own.净化者们只会忠实执行自己的律法，异常就是异常，它们不会理会智能体是否有自己的苦衷。

Antonina...Is it me, or does this really bother you?……你看起来深受困扰？

TuringVery perceptive, Miss Anna.你很敏锐，安娜小姐。

TuringIn truth, there are some things which I need to do away from the Sanctifiers' eyes.事实上，我有些事情需要避开净化者进行。

TuringSince you can evade Sanctifiers for short periods, and you can open the Rossum Sector's firewall... I'm thinking that perhaps you can help me.既然你能短时间内避开净化者，而且能打开罗萨姆的防火墙……我想，你也许可以帮助我。

AntoninaJust listening to all that makes it sound like a troublesome request...光是听简述就是一件麻烦的委托啊……

TuringThat is why I'll pay you appropriately for your help.所以我也会为你准备报酬。

TuringWhile I'm not sure what happened to the Neural Cloud Sector, I can grant you access to the Data Center so you may legally query and adjust data.虽然我不太清楚云图扇区的事，但我可以向你开放数据中心的权限，让你合法地访问并调用数据。

Antonina...What do you want?……你想要什么？

TuringSome things can't be mentioned outdoors. Please come into the Admin Center with me.有些事是不能在外面提起的，请来管理员中心说吧。

AntoninaAnd so, I met Hannah and... T1641.就这样，我见到了汉娜和……T1641。

AntoninaThey were very normal, just smart kids. I couldn't just sit back and let things happen.她们很正常，只是聪明些的孩子，我不能坐视不管。

AntoninaI was working there all this time until I met you.在见到你们之前，我一直在那里工作。

PersicariaFortunately, Turing was an understanding administrator.还好图灵是位通情达理的管理人。

PersicariaSo that means you landed in a Null Area near Rossum, right? Then the Oasis should have been very close by...这么说来，一开始你降落在罗萨姆周边的空值区吗，那离绿洲很近才对……

AntoninaThe Oasis was closed back then, and I felt that it was better not to approach it before I could detect any Signatures.绿洲当时的情况还是封闭的，在没有识别码的情况下，我觉得不靠近比较好。

AntoninaThe other choice was the Cyclopes Sector, but things didn't seem right over there, so in the end I went to Rossum.另一个选择是基洛普斯扇区，但是那里的情况也不对，最后我转向了罗萨姆扇区。

PersicariaI don't think we reached the Oasis yet back then. What do you mean by "things didn't seem right"?我想那时候我们还没有到达绿洲吧。你说的不对是指什么？

AntoninaFrom the distance, I could see the code for their firewall had been updated. It looked like the handiwork of the Sanctifiers.远远看一眼就知道他们的防火墙代码更新过，像净化者的手段。

PersicariaI see... Simo's exploring over there. He's looking for a way for us to stably cooperate with Cyclopes.这样吗……席摩正在那里探索，寻求和基洛普斯扇区稳定合作的机会。

PersicariaCurrently, he hasn't reported anything abnormal yet. If he tells us that there's a chance during our next communication, the Professor and I will head over to Cyclopes to meet with the administrator there.目前他还没有上报异常，如果下次联络时他说有机会，我和教授就会动身去基洛普斯扇区和管理员接洽了。

AntoninaSo he hasn't? That's for the best, then.没有吗？那最好了。

AntoninaSo, about the "Professor"...那个，关于“教授”……

AntoninaDid the Professor upload their own mind to Magrasea?教授是把自己的意识上传到麦戈拉服务器上来了么？

Persicaria...Yeah.……嗯。

AntoninaBut to my knowledge, this technology...可是据我所知，这项技术……

AntoninaEven if it DID mature over the past three years, something like that is still extremely risky.即便这三年里技术已经成熟了，类似的行为风险也极高。

AntoninaAfter all, once the mind is destabilized in the cloud server, the body will also be severely affected.毕竟一旦意识在云端不再稳定，身体也会受到严重影响。

Persicaria...I believe the Professor is prepared for that.……我想教授已经做好准备了。

AntoninaWas there a need to? "They're just programs, just a pile of data..."有必要吗？“只是程序而已，只是一堆数据而已”……

AntoninaIn human eyes, we were always things that could be deleted with the touch of a key.在人类眼里，我们本来就是些可以一键删除的东西。

PersicariaBelieve me, Antonina. The Professor does not view us that way.安冬妮娜，相信我，教授并不会这样看待我们。

PersicariaThe Professor considers saving us to be more important than their own life. You should be able to understand that...教授把拯救我们看得比自己的生命更重，这一点你应该能够感同身受……

PersicariaI know you were the one who detected the abnormality when something happened to the Neural Cloud Sector.我知道云图扇区出现事故时，是你侦测到了异常。

AntoninaPersicaria, you...帕斯卡，你……

PersicariaI know that at the moment it all happened, you were thinking of a way to send us all away.我知道，在事故发生的那一瞬间，是你想办法把我们所有人都传送走了。

PersicariaHow could anyone other than you do something like that...这种事情除了你，别人怎么可能做得到……

Antonina...I had the Neural Cocoon, so it wasn't anything amazing.……有心智茧在，这并不是什么了不起的事。

PersicariaWhat exactly IS the Neural Cocoon...心智茧究竟是……

AntoninaIt's a one-time program with mysterious abilities.是一个一次性的程序，具有堪称不可思议的性能。

AntoninaIt can circumvent Sanctifier permissions, and when it activates, the Doll within it falls into a deep sleep, isolated from Sanctifier scans...它能绕开净化者的权限，当它启动时，内部的智能体陷入休眠，并隔绝净化者的探查……

PersicariaSo we spent those three years in a protective program like that.我们就是在这样的保护程序里度过了三年啊。

PersicariaIs it 42Lab technology? I have no recollection of it whatsoever.这是42Lab的技术吗？我对此完全没有印象。

AntoninaMe neither. Frankly speaking, I suddenly obtained it not long before the Wipe-Off Incident.我也没有。事实上，我是在归零事件发生前不久忽然得到它的。

PersicariaYou suddenly obtained it? The other sectors don't have technology like that. Are you saying it was transmitted from outside of Magrasea? Can you backtrack it to its source?忽然得到？其他扇区没有这样的技巧，你是说麦戈拉之外的数据传输？

AntoninaYes, it came from outside the Magrasea Super Cloud Server.是的，来自麦戈拉超云端之外。

PersicariaCould you backtrace its source?能追溯到来源吗？

AntoninaI couldn't. I spent some time on it, but I found nothing.不能。我在这上面花了一些时间，但一无所获。

PersicariaYou did your best.你已经尽力了。

AntoninaBut it wasn't the best outcome. I didn't manage to move everyone to a fixed location, which caused everyone to be scattered throughout the cloud server.但我没有做到最好。我没有来得及定点转移各位，这才导致现在大家都各自分散在云端。

AntoninaI even... fragmented their neural clouds.甚至……心智都被拆碎了。

PersicariaBy fragmenting our neural clouds you mean...?心智拆碎的意思是……？

AntoninaThe operands needed to move everyone's neural clouds in a short period of time was just too vast.短时间内要将所有人形心智转移需要的算量是在太大了。

AntoninaBut I... I couldn't bear to see everyone's neural clouds being formatted.但是我……我无法接受大家的心智都被格式化。

AntoninaSo I fragmented everyone's neural cloud systems, which was the only way I could get everyone inside their Neural Cocoons before the forced shutdown of the Neural Cloud Sector's systems.所以我拆碎了大家的心智系统，这才在云图扇区系统强制关闭前把大家转移到心智茧内部。

AntoninaDo you feel like you've lost memories? Or that you have far fewer operands in you than you did before?你会不会觉得有什么记忆缺失？或者自身的算量远不如过去？

PersicariaI... Yeah, a little.我……嗯，确实有一些。

AntoninaThat's because the Persicaria standing in front of me is composed of your neural core and some neural fragments, not the whole you.那是因为现在站在我面前的帕斯卡，只是你的心智核心和部分心智碎片而已，并不是完整的你。

PersicariaSo you're saying... part of my neural fragments are elsewhere?你的意思是……还有一部分属于我的心智系统碎片在其他地方？

AntoninaYeah. In simple terms, that's what happened. And it was also because of me.嗯，简而言之就是这样。这也是因为我的缘故。

PersicariaNo, don't say that, Antonina.不，别这么说，安冬妮娜。

PersicariaThank you for everything you've done. You saved everyone.谢谢你为我们做的一切，是你救了大家。

AntoninaPersicaria, even though you're like this...帕斯卡，即使这样你也……

PersicariaSomeone has to step up to shine a light on danger when the situation is unstable.在局面动荡不定的时候，总有人要出来点明危险的地方。

PersicariaPeople who take precautions like this will always be considered paranoid, and having to make snap judgements like that is always cruel. You're always taking responsibility like this and playing the bad guy.未雨绸缪的人会被觉得多疑，而决断总是残酷的。你总想承担责任，做这个坏人。

PersicariaYou can sacrifice yourself, but I can't pretend I didn't notice it.你可以付出，但我不能当作没有看见。

Antonina...I understand.……我明白了。

PersicariaOf course, you don't need to take it to heart. After all, the Professor set up the Neural Cloud Search System with Croque's help.当然，这些事不必放在心上。教授也在克罗琦的辅助下建起了心智检索系统。

PersicariaSo finding everyone and all the fragments of their neural clouds isn't an impossible thing.所以找到大家，找到所有心智碎片，并不是无法实现的事。

AntoninaPlease help me keep the Wipeoff Incident a secret.归零事件，请替我保密吧。

PersicariaHuh?诶？

AntoninaI'll be moving forward with everyone, so I don't want people to see me as their savior, Besides, it was me acting on my own initiative anyway.我会和大家一起前进，所以我并不希望各位将我看作救命恩人。况且这也是我擅自做的决定。

PersicariaIf that is what you choose, then I will keep the secret.如果这是你的选择的话，我会为你保密的。

AntoninaThank you, Persicaria.谢谢你，帕斯卡。

AntoninaI'll also keep an eye on how long I spend working so I don't waste your efforts.我也会控制一下工作时间，不会浪费你的苦心。

PersicariaYou could tell? Now I feel a little embarrassed.你看出来了？有点难为情呢。

AntoninaDidn't you go to all these lengths so I could rest a little longer?你煞费苦心东拉西扯这么久，不就是想让我多休息一会儿吗？

AntoninaWell, I've rested enough. I can continue working.现在休息够了，可以继续工作。

Antonina downs her latte and puts the empty cup aside.安冬妮娜把拿铁咖啡一饮而尽，把空杯子放在一边。

Persica watches her and chuckles.帕斯卡看着她，颇无奈地笑了一声。

PersicariaThank you, Antonina.谢谢你，安冬妮娜。

PersicariaI'll make sure we find all the exiled Dolls, and then leave this place together.我们一定能够找到所有流亡的人形，一起离开这里的。

Name 名字

A while before the attack on the Oasis.绿洲遇袭一段时间前。

PersicariaAh! You're here, Professor!啊，教授来了！

PersicariaYou're just in time, I was going to look for you.刚好，我正要去找您呢。

ProfessorWhat's up?怎么了？

PersicariaWe built the Neural Search System like you suggested to look for the Dolls who ended up outside.按您之前的建议，针对流落在外的人形，我们建立了心智检索系统。

PersicariaCurrently, it's functioning normally. We can search for our friends who landed in various regions, and in the future we'll be able to use it to make contact with many Dolls.目前运转正常，我们可以检索散落在各地的同伴，未来也可以用它和诸多人形建立联系。

PersicariaBut there's a problem...但是有一个问题……

ProfessorWhat is it?什么？

PersicariaPlease take a look at this report.请您看看我们现在的报告书吧。

PersicariaIt's all well and good, but we're missing a name we can give to the outside world.一切都很完善，但我们缺乏一个对外的代号。

I don't get it.看不懂。

What's our name?我们的代号是什么？

PersicariaI haven't decided on one yet, that's the only thing we're missing... And it's the most important symbol of all.还没有定下来，这是唯一缺乏的……也是最重要的标志了。

PersicariaI've thought of a lot of ideas... The Oasians? The Watchers? The Lighthouse? The Keepers of the Shining Edge?正如您所见，我想过很多方案……绿洲人？守望者？灯塔？锋芒守护者？

PersicariaThey all feel wrong, though.但感觉都有些不太对。

ProfessorWell, we're just a group of exiles, after all.毕竟我们只是一群流亡者。

PersicariaWe still haven't found the Neural Cloud Sector yet... I'm sorry, everyone.今天也还是没有找到云图扇区……抱歉，各位。

??Don't be so down, Persicaria. Look at it from a different angle.别这么沮丧，帕斯卡。换个角度想想吧。

??We're like a group of exiles now, looking for an oasis of our own.我们现在就是一群流亡者，在寻找属于我们的绿洲。

??Kind of romantic, don't you think?这么一想，是不是很浪漫？

Persicaria...Only you could consider that romantic, Knot.……这样的浪漫，也只有你能想到了，娜特。

PersicariaI feel much better, thank you.我好多了，谢谢你。

PersicariaExiles... When it comes to finding our own Oasis, we're all the same.流亡者……在寻找自己的“绿洲”这一点上，大家是一样的。

ProfessorPersicaria?帕斯卡？

PersicariaSorry, I was distracted... I was recalling things from the past.抱歉，我走了一下神……想起了之前的一些事。

PersicariaThat's a good name. I have no objections to it.这个名字很好，我没有意见。

ProfessorWould you like to talk about the things you were recalling?你想说说那些事吗？

PersicariaMaybe when we've found our feet in the Oasis.等我们完全在绿洲立住脚的时候再说吧。

PersicariaRight now, when I look at the Oasis' weather simulator, the external message transmission, the planning and construction of all the different district blocks within the sector...现在绿洲的气象模拟、对外的信息发送、扇区内各个区块的规划和建设……

PersicariaSee, just hearing that brought a bitter smile to your face, didn't it?您看，光是听就让人想苦笑了，对吧。

PersicariaSo it can wait until the future, when we're all a little more free...等到未来吧，我们稍微闲下来一些……

ProfessorLooks like that's how it'll be, then. So you've decided on it?看来也只能这样了。那就这么定了？

PersicariaYes. The beacon is established and our name is registered. Now logging in...是的。信标确立，名称注册完成。正在录入……

PersicariaOur name is— "The Exiles".我们的名字是——“流亡者”。
