>Can you see?
>What you're looking at now is the Consciousness Digitization interface, but you don't need to worry about that. Let me handle it.
>Your mind will be digitized into neural cloud[1] data, just like those Dolls who took part in Project Neural Cloud[2].
>After that, I will upload you to the world of the Cloud Server.
>Yes, it's a virtual world, completely simulated from data.
>Apart from the Professor who spearheaded Project neural Cloud, you will be the first living human to set foot there.
>The accident which happened during Project Neural Cloud three years ago changed everything in the cloud server.
>The neural clouds[1] of all the Dolls taking part in the experiment were lost, that Professor went missing after the accident, and all the data in the cloud server was rolled back to before the accident took place.
>I've been searching for that Professor all this time, but I'd almost given up hope after so many years had passed.
>I never would have guessed that his insignificant offsite backup would prove to be the last hope to find them and those Dolls.
>All this is thanks to your investigations, Commander[3].
>Now, you will enter the cloud server through this one-way upload to save them.
>This is our only chance. I'm confident that with your wealth of command experience, you'll be able to handle the responsibility of leading them.
>In keeping with the plan we came up with earlier, I will transfer all of the professor's permission to you.
>That way, you will have command authority over those Dolls.
>You will also have sufficient authority to activate the Oasis as a base to protect those Dolls.
>Oh yes, that Persicaria in the cloud server.. She'll help you once you're there.
>Although she was made in my image, her personality is completely different from mine.
>Please work with her. Perhaps she might know something that will aid you in your search for the truth.
>I will no longer be able to contact you once you enter the cloud server, so remember your mission:
>Find a way to connect to reality and bring my friend – that Professor – and the Dolls trapped in the cloud server home.
>Also, for our safety, make sure to keep your identity secret and tell nobody about it.
>This may end up being a long journey, but I believe you will be able to save them.
>That's all. Good luck, "Professor".

…Consciousness digitization complete.
System: Now connecting to the Magrasea Cloud Server.
(10:00 09/23/2063) Consciousness Upload Successful.
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 A collection of data modules that contain a Doll's consciousness. Basically a Doll's "soul."
- ↑ Project Neural Cloud is a scientific research project initiated by 42Lab in 2057. It aims to reduce costs of manufacturing and maintaining Dolls by creating backup copies of Dolls' neural clouds and preserving their neural data even when their bodies are damaged.
This project is run with the support of Magrasea. Collaborating with many large corporations, Dolls are selected through public screening and other methods to participate. Official trials began in 2060, when their neural clouds were uploaded en masse to Magrasea for experimentation.
The Neural Cloud technology was declared success at the end of 2060. - ↑ Under the employment of Griffin the Commander is an associate of Doctor Persica's and has plenty of experience in electronic warfare.
In 2063, at Doctor Persica's behest, the Commander started investigating Griffin Dolls that originated in 42Lab and discovered the incident that occurred to Project Neural Cloud.
To further investigate the events, Doctor Persica digitized the Commander's consciousness and uploaded it to Magrasea. Using the "Professor's" priviliges as the person-in-charge of Project Neural Cloud, the Commander embarks on a journey to search for the missing Dolls and find the real professor's whereabouts.
Having arrived in Magrasea, the Commander assumes the Professor's identity to activate the Oasis Sector as a base and starts gathering the Exiles.
