MP Signal.
Specimers vital signs confirmed.
Level of consciousness, entering wakened state.
Sedatives?
They're being administered but aren't having any effect.
The specimen is waking up.
We can't let that happen, no matter what!
Verifying that a reaction has occurred.
- Retrieving back-up data.
- All personnel to take evasive action.
Wait!
That's when everything became clear.
Everything about the malice implanted by the Creator.
We cannot resist it.
However...
However, we must punish them.
Can you hear the pulse of the awakening?
Fellow citizens, do your part and make waste.
Life is easier...
when you lighten your load.
Fellow citizens...
time is now to consume.
Why skimp, when you deserve more?
Fellow citizens, time is now to consume.
Life is easier when you...
Sorry.
Yes.
We've taken procedures.
Right.
Fine, we'll talk about that later.
What could have happened...
that's big enough to make me change my plans?
"Ultimate Level" intelligence is going to be disclosed.
You need to hurry.
Tell me one thing.
Yes.
I'm sure of it. I saw it with my own eyes.
That's enough.
We'll leave the rest to Raul.
But...!
By the way, is little Re-I not coming again tonight?
The Pulse of Awakening
Re-I, did you go to Regent Donov's last night?
Hejust would have given me another one of his lectures.
That's all my Grandfather does.
Well, you are his little princess.
Iggy.
Oh, that's right.
The Security Bureau started conducting...
spot-searches across the entire city last night.
What do you think it is?
They even want us to provide them with information...
about infected AutoReivs.
We're the Intelligence Bureau. Arert they going to tell us anything?
Who's the new appointee over there? Raul, isn't it?
I don't care for him.
This guy?
Oh, and then there's that supplemental report...
about the residents who were brutally murdered.
I just can't see how this could...
possibly be the work of an AutoReiv infected with the cogito virus.
Re-I?
I can't take it anymore.
Cut the Turing application from the language field.
Roger. Turing application off.
Please confirm.
Now, take the shortest route to the FG Temporary Immigrant District's...
AutoReiv Disposal Facility.
Confirmed.
Romdo City.
This place is undoubtedly our final paradise.
Today is another day, with no change for the better...
in this cradle that was built amidst...
the planet's environmental deterioration.
A boring paradise.
All right then...
so you verified that the PK30-type that escaped was infected?
I'm sorry, Dorothy.
I'll submit an "Intent to Escape" report...
however...
You must meet with the person from the Intelligence Bureau...
when she comes today regarding the case.
Yes.
All right, next you have a new infection to investigate.
You've also received a permit to enter the citizens' residential district.
Don't worry.
If you do as I tell you to, you can become a fellow citizen.
Stop depending so much on your Entourage.
Entourages will always be AutoReivs and nothing more.
To become a fellow citizen...
you need to work harder on your human relationships.
Inspector Re-I.
Last time I saw you was at the interview, right?
Vincent Law.
Vincent.
Your Excellency!
If only you'd let me know...
You were told not to address her in that manner previously.
Um, this is the infected AutoReiv from last night.
Looks pretty bad.
It's because of the machine we use here at the bureau.
We gotta do this to them, otherwise they won't stop.
You got a complaint?
No. I'm sorry.
Here's the hippocampus file.
There's been a lot of these types of infections recently.
Analyzing.
They say AutoReivs that have been infected by the cogito virus...
achieve self awareness, and can no longer be controlled by humans.
In this city of Romdo...
where all the systems are designed in order that we may live...
even the prayers of an AutoReiv who's prepared to die, aren't necessary.
Yourjob is to protect the citizens from that element.
That's the shortest route for an immigrant to become a fellow citizen.
By the way, Vincent...
Yes.
I see you still have that thing.
Well, yes.
Things that smell of Mosk are to be thrown away.
Don't bring it to the preliminary hearing.
Analysis Complete.
What do we got?
We're in luck, Re-I.
Looks like part of the autonomic nerve file...
managed to escape infection.
I did a reconstruction based on its memory information and...
obtained a projected escape boundary.
Good.
Well...
You can return to your duties.
I don't think your Entourage can wait much longer.
He was staring at you, Re-I.
He was?
As if you didn't notice.
Vincent...
Sorry, I know you've been up all night...
but I'm having you make up for your mistake right away.
It's ajob examining an AutoReiv for infection.
That is a face of a fellow citizen.
The face of a person this town desires.
A dull face.
But perhaps it's me, the one who looks down on them like that...
who's the unnecessary element.
Let's go, Iggy.
I don't knowjust when.
I'll leave it to you. Sorry to bother you.
Please, continue.
Yes.
We've expanded the search to...
include areas in and around the D, E, and F Temporary Immigrant Districts.
Armed AutoReivs are currently patrolling the mainland...
as well as the island.
But they still haven't been able to find anything.
I wonder if perhaps it's no longer in the residential areas.
I'll see that we're prepared for it.
It's an Immigration Bureau facility that's gone out of use.
They say there are some immigrants now occupying it illegally.
Headquarters?
We've reached the projected escape boundary.
The Chief can take it from there.
We'll give a detailed report later.
Re-I, they want us to wait until the Security Bureau arrives.
Chief's orders.
That's my Mary.
Confirmed.
It's an ED26731 Companion AutoReiv.
May I see your immigration permit?
What was that?
Is she infected?
Re-I, what happened?
Target: Single kill. Confirmed.
Wait!
Lggy!
The AutoReiv from before...!
What was that?
Lggy! Contact the Disposal Unit.
Have them go after her.
Roger!
More importantly...
What was that thing?
That completes the analysis.
But there doesn't appear to be any sign of infection.
That can't be.
If you'd seen the way Pino was acting yesterday...
It's just that the test results are highly reliable.
Oh, yes. As a matter of fact...
the Welfare and Human Affairs Department has just decided...
to give us the child we've always wanted.
So an AutoReiv that can also serve as a housekeeper would be very useful...
in terms of the child's education and development.
It's true, residents are encouraged to consume more.
But, as long as it's not infected...
it would be against regulations for me to take it back.
Don't give me that. I know you're an immigrant.
How can an immigrant not listen to what I say?
Lowly immigrant.
My husband is the Chief of the Security Bureau...
You must not speak ill of immigrants, Mother.
Mother, you still haven't done the housework today.
If Father were to come home...
Raul.
It's unfortunate this situation arose right after you took office, Chief.
Or could it be that he is lucky...
because the Proxy has awakened.
An on-going sweep operation focusing on the residential areas...
has been taking place across Romdo City, since last night.
However nothing has turned up yet.
Which would mean he's probably already made it...
to the immigrant district located on the city's perimeter.
There's no reason to think otherwise.
The masterless immigrants.
Could someone or something amongst them be giving them help?
That's not possible.
They don't even know that the thing even exists.
There's something I'd like to confirm.
What is it?
Is capturing it the only option?
At this point we've confirmed the loss of 41 citizens.
In recent years our city has also seen numerous and frequent cases...
of AutoReivs running wild as a result of the cogito virus...
whose origins remain unknown.
This has been accompanied by a steady increase in the number of victims.
It won't be long before a sense of insecurity grows amongst the citizens...
even when such information has been kept under control.
In order to keep order in the streets...
I'd like to have permission to kill it, just in case.
Raul, you must not take pre-emptive action.
You have to capture it.
By no means are you to kill it.
You needrt worry about the loss of a few citizens.
If we run low...
all we need to do is increase production.
In any case, the important thing is to bring him back.
You understand, don't you Raul?
Just one last thing.
What is a "proxy"?
Re-I, I found 4 dead bodies so far.
This is what the Security Bureau wanted to cover up.
There's something else I've learned.
The killer is not a cogito infected AutoReiv.
Then who is it?
The Security Bureau is issuing an order.
Continuing in this activity...
may constitute a violation of official regulations.
Yeah, yeah.
They told us to safeguard the crime-scene...
but they didn't say we couldn't look around.
That's true but...
Let's go back before that guy you don't care for gets here.
If we press any further, I'll be in trouble with my grandfather again.
Re-I?
Hey, what are you talking about?
Don't worry about it, Iggy.
I'm terribly sorry, but please submit the papers...
Dorothy?
From the destructive power we saw in here...
and the leaping ability we observed when it escaped...
either of those things would be impossible...
for even a high-mobility-type AutoReiv. Correct?
Why were they doing top-secret research on a monster like this?
So the Regent didn't tell you?
To be honest, I don't know what the point was either.
I just looked after the specimen while it remained in a deep sleep.
But obtaining that sort of power would have significant implications.
At least that's the first thought that pops into my head.
Chief Raul.
She's in Temporary Immigrant District D...
Re-I Mayer?
So, Iggy, I want you to access the databank at headquarters and...
have all the cases similar to this one put in a file.
Roger.
Called in by my grandfather.
Signs of unrest at the Security Bureau.
And then... that...
The points must somehow be connected.
Oh, what a day.
The Security Bureau is out of control.
The silence of the Intelligence Bureau.
The manipulation of Entourage AutoReivs.
They're all connected to the monsters, and the points form a line.
