- Rossum Sector, upper levels of the Data Center. After Turing hangs up–
Antonina: Turing? Hello? Turing?
Hannah: What happened on Turing's side?
Antonina: Faith has reached the Admin Center, she couldn't keep the call going.
Hannah: Did you tell her about the plan? What did she say?
Antonina: I didn't have time to do it. Turing wants us to leave Rossum Sector.
Hannah: Leave the Rossum Sector? But how will we leave? All the sector's exits are guarded by Sanctifiers.
Antonina: With the help of my friends. Turing made a deal with Persicaria. She'll take us out of here.
Hannah: Your friends?
Antonina: Yes, some old friends… Turing used some operands to make a deal with them. I can guess what they're going to do with them…
Antonina: In any case, since Turing's made the arrangements, all we have to do is go along with them.
Antonina: Don't just stand there, Hannah. help me obtain the operands, we need to prepare so we can elave right away once they get here.
Hannah: …Are these friends of yours reliable?
Antonina: Persicaria and the others are very reliable. They can handle Lesser Sanctifiers easily.
Hannah: I see… So they're very reliable then… In that case, why don't we consider the "Rewrite Plan"?
Antonina: The Rewrite Plan? …Why are you still so attached to that plan, the conditions for putting it into place haven't been met yet…
Hannah: I'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.
Antonina: No! You're putting them at risk! Also, the price for that is too high!
Antonina: Besides, we can't guarantee that we can use faith to rewrite the standards for all Sanctifiers.
Antonina: My 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.
Hannah: But 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.
Hannah: If the Rewrite Plan works, Rossum will be able to…
Antonina: You can't expect to accomplish that overnight, Hannah. Plus, we don't have the time to alter the plan either.
Antonina: Let's weather the storm first before we think about other things.
Hannah: But…
Antonina: Faith has already reached the Admin Center. Let's go get the operands.
Antonina: We can't let Turing's arrangements go to waste.
Hannah: …Got it.

Rossum Sector, lower levels of the Data Center.
Sol: Whew – We made it at last… Hey, where's Riko?
Persicaria: She's helping us draw off the Sanctifiers. She also left a namecard. Said something about collecting extra from us the next time we meet.
Sol: She 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…
Persicaria: You can save the snark remarks for when it's all over. We need to find Hannah ASAP.
After opening the main door to the Data Center, we are greeted by an agent that closely resembles T1641.
Persicaria: This agent looks a lot like T1641… Are you Hannha?
Hannah: That's right, it's me.
Hannah: Please come in. Thanks for rushing here, everyone. You should step inside and have a rest.
Persicaria: I don't think we have time for that. We have to get you out of here before the Sanctifiers take complete control of Rossum.
Hannah: Miss Turing sent you here, didn't she?
Hannah: I 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?
Persicaria: I…
Professor: Persicaria, go in with Hannah to check on the operand acquisition. Sol and I will stand watch here.
Professor: Relax, it's only a bit of time. it won't help us escape, and it won't help them catch up to us either.
Persicaria: I see. I'll go take care of it now.
Hannah leads Persicaria inside the Data Center.
Through it all, Hannah's footsteps are hurried and she is silent.
Persicaria: Don't be scared. We'll get you safely out of here.
Hannah: …I'm not scared, I'm just… I'm just thinking.
Hannah presses the call button for the elevator and then looks at Persicaria.
Hannah: Do you know about the situation in the Rossum Sector? About what's happening between us and the Sanctifiers?
Persicaria: I have a rough idea. It must have been a terrible experience.
Hannah: So from your perspective, do you think Turing's plan makes sense, Miss Persicaria?
Persicaria: By which you mean…?
Hannah: What 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?
Persicaria: You want to deal with the Sanctifiers?
Hannah: I 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.
Persicaria: I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disappoint you, Hannah. We can't take risks here. Your safety is our top priority. That's the promise we made to Turing.
Ding~
Persicaria: The elevator's here. Let's save the questions for later.
Before Persicaria can step into it, a sudden explosion shakes the entire building.
Persicaria: What's going on?
System: >Call received…
Professor: Persicaria, come back!
Persicaria: Professor?
System: >Call ended.
Hannah: …
Persicaria: Stay here and don't move. I'll be right back.
As she watches Persicaria leave, Hanna lowers her head and thunks.
Her mechanical pupils contract, and streams of data can be glimpsed racing across them.
Persicaria returns to the entrance of the Data Center. There she sees Sol collapsed amidst the debris, and…
And Faith, who has busted the door down with Turing in her grasp.
Sanctifier: [Irregular Agents detected. Quantity: 3. Switching to cleansing mode.]
Faith sets Turing aside and begins scanning the interior of the Data Center. She seems to be searching for something.
Persicaria: Turing!!
Turing: (Coughs) Stay… back…
Faith: You are not Residents of Rossum. You are not the ones Turing was trying to hide.
Faith: D11, D12, find the Irregular Agent that Turing was hiding. I will deal with these Irregular Agents by myself.
Sanctifier: [Order received. Commencing operation.]
Sol: Don't even… think about it!
Persicaria: Sol!
Professor: Persicaria, don't get distracted! Block the other Sanctifiers!
