Day 71 Beginning

[meilleurekimiko]

The Intro:
- Brie would destroy a Destroy, and then quickly disable several Heavybear manifestations before destroying parts of the tunnel. This effectively cut off the supply route for diamond smugglers.
- From there, she'd start her investigation into the Diamond mines.
- Liane would help Brie realize that the mines are located directly beneath Zanzibar's Omicron Market.
- Before she can continue though, she's called back on campus. Needless to say Brie isn't too happy about this.

The Campus:
- Frio is seen on shift for 10 hours, trying to reason with Etsuko while dressed up as Rana. Nanako would finally relieve him.
- Rai would officially declare Brie an Investigator for the Poikkitie Special Weapons and Operations Agency.
- Unfortunately Brie's first task is to find Talou and tell her she's on the payroll...which makes Brie pissed.
- She eventually bumps into Talou and informs her of the news, much to her own disgust. Then she'd leave as she prefers to resume her investigation.
- Talou herself would head to the dorms, and heads to the 4th floor after politely turning down Frio's offer for assistance.
- Claudine would ask Lilith what she'd want to do for the next week, and much to her own silliness finds Lilith was nearby anyway.
- They talk for a bit as Talou would arrive...then Brie would send a text to Lilith about finding the mines in Zanzibar. Cue lots of wat.
- While Claudine isn't sure what to do, Lilith encourages her to dance more...so Claudine starts dancing.
- Talou talks with the other DFO chars at Shirobara. Although they decide to go with a seismograph, Aerio suggests a big metal detector.
- Talou would leave to talk to Galen as Cloral shows up. Eventually more students show up and they talk about the recent discovery made by Brie.
- Brie would conclude that there may be people who want the diamonds for themselves, and that the diamonds are being smuggled to keep the Principal's riches afloat. The fact they could be used for a weapon again bothers her, and so she draws up a plan.

Slowpoke started moving at a snail's pace or AKA Niko goes to Pioneer 5:
- Niko would do exactly as he was told, get pictures, find evidence, avoid too much contact at Pioneer 5.
- Yui would eventually catch up to him. They'd go to the station and hand over the Agent Smith Niko knocked out and evidence.


Important:
- Its probable that the tunnels previously used by the drug cartels were made much larger than they were originally...
- ...but this makes them even more dangerous to travel in than before.
- Oddly the outfit Frio used is called Rana Fala, following IPH naming customs.
- Claudine has this silly problem of texting people when they're really close by.
- Its kind of stupid how the Darion Plague hasn't been covered much when its important to the story arc.
