>SO.
>WE WILL NEED TO ACT MUCH FASTER THAN ANTICIPATED, YES?
>THE DARLINGS OF THE NEW SQUIDBEAK SPLATOON HAVE FIGURED IT OUT
Do not panic.
What is the status of LAST CHANCE?
>OFFLINE... MOSTLY.
>OF COURSE HE WAS GOING TO TRY TO CLEAVE THE PR#CK ON SIGHT.
>HE IS ANGRY.
The poor thing...
However, this allows us to examine what it is that he has created.
>SO WE'RE THROWING OUR CHILDREN TO THE F$#KING WOLVES?
A necessary evil.
Agent LAST CHANCE will be our gateway.
They will be back in time.
As for the Splatoon...
Even if they discover me, and Wonder's anomaly...
They can do nothing but crawl to us anyhow.
I will be ordering Agent PEST-CTRL to watch over Wonder.
>AND HE WILL SPLAY HIS GODDAMN INNARDS, WONT HE?
Wonder comes back alive.
Remember our purpose.
In the presence of another child of the CCTV...
LAST CHANCE will latch to instinct.
The world is cold and dark.
We will bring them back to the light.
Family above all.

>YOU KNOW THE CHILD MORE THAN WE DO.
>WHAT PREPERATIONS DO WE NEED?
His body is much smaller than the others of the family, an unfortunate consequence of [REDACTED] eloping with whoever that was.
Clove and Wonder will require less gear than the others.
Something around Finx's amounts, she's the closest size-wise to the two outliers.
>VERY WELL.
>AND WHO WILL WE TRUST WITH THIS?
Asign the watchers to the task.
They can dig for scrap and metal at the old resting points on the surface.
Also, if you get CIRCUS TRICK to come down here, we can have her turn into Wonder for more exact measurements.
>NEGATIVE.
>CIRCUS TRICK WILL NOT BECOME ANYTHING ELSE.
What do you mean?
>SHE HAS SEEN User Agent 3 OF THE PRECIOUS NEW SQUIDBEAK SPLATOON.
>AND EVER SINCE, SHE HAS NOT BECOME ANYTHING OR ANYONE ELSE.
And I'm only finding out now?
>YOUR CONCERNS ARE WITH WONDER.
>OURS ARE WITH THE CHILDREN.
>REMEMBER THE DEAL, LADY.

>THE WONDER RECONSTRUCTIONS COME WITHOUT THE CRYSTALS.
>IT IS CLEAR THAT WE CANNOT INJEST THAT MATERIAL.
>BUT YOU INSIST ON IT ANYHOW.
>WHY?
>ARE YOU TRYING TO BE RID OF US, LADY?
>YOU REALLY ARE LUCKY.
>IF YOU DID NOT UNDERGO THE SAME TRANSITION AS Wonder Allecate... WE WOULD TRULY HAVE FULL CONTROL OF YOUR MIND.
Your threats do not scare me.
Remember that I have made you.
You didn't see the visions... the sky of falsehoods.
A land of lost wishes and lingering regrets
The last chance that was still squandered.
>WHY DO YOU STILL SPEAK OF Alterna?
The Tribe.
I can still see them, despite never being there...
The people who gave my parents those samples.
>YOUR DREAMS BORE ME.
>WE HAVE CHILDREN TO CARE FOR.
>DO NOT TRY THIS AGAIN.
>THEY DENY THE ALTERNAN CRYSTALS.
>THAT IS THAT.
Alright.
Maybe...
Maybe some things arent meant to be changed...
>HAVING REGRETS AT A TIME LIKE THIS, LADY?
Hah! No, not regret.
I'm positively ecstatic.

>AND WHAT OF THEIR CONDITION?
Despite some progress, the Allecate family remains unresponsive.
Goliath has shown some signs of recovery, and of course the recent event with herself.
Their new bodies will still have to do.
>THEY GROW TIRED OF YOUR GAMES.
>THE STRONGEST DO NOT WANT TO PLAY AROUND IN BORROWED BODIES.
Last I checked, Finx was enjoying her time playing dress up as that new Agent 3.
Cant we give it more time?
>LADY, YOU CONTINUE TO MISREAD THIS.
>YOU ARE NOT IN THE OCTARIAN ARMY ANYMORE.
>YOU CONTROL NOTHING.
>YOUR FALSEHOODS DO NOT GO UNDEDECTED BY US.
>YOU. MADE. A DEAL.
>WE ARE IN CONTROL, AND YOU ARE THE HOST.
>USE YOUR KNOWLEDGE FOR SOMETHING F#CK1NG WORTHWHILE
You really are as childish as [REDACTED]...
Perfection takes time.
The transfusion process has to be slow.
After what happened with Wonder I...
I must be diligent.
>IF THIS PROCESS IS YOU BEING 'CAREFUL'...
>THEN WHAT HAPPENED WITH Wonder Allecate?
I have made something that I cannot unmake in him.
And now I am the only thing that can tame him.
He will come to me, in time.
He will see what he can become.
All he has to do is remember.

The Abyss
Its a long way up, isnt it?
I can still feel it, the warmth of the surface.
It is digitised now, perhaps this feeling is influenced by me even still.
You two do not remember the surface, you were never there.
But the cold caverns of the underground, I'm sure those you may understand.
>WHY HAVE YOU BROUGHT US HERE TO THE BRINK?
>WONDER IS ACTIVE. CHILDREN ARE SCARED.
>LAST CHANCE IS AFRAID.
But the plan is working, is it not?
They are right where I wanted them to be.
Maybe we will see the surface again.
I have a message for them...
But now, look, the branching paths.
This place... I dont come here often but our work is truly something to be admired.
The personal journey all have taken here.
I can feel it, soon... enlightenment will come.
>NO CHILD HAS BEEN ABLE TO OVERCOME THEMSELVES IN OUR ENTIRE EXISTANCE.
>AND WITH HIM RUNNING AROUND, THINGS HAVE BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT.
Since when did you become so concerned?
Just look at it all. The scale of everything.
The false stars in the dark sky, swirling over itself.
Swirling, but still. Changing, but unchanged.
Yes... perfection.

What are you thinking of now?
Can you still see him?
Can you hear him?
If you can, you must resist.
He is not the same as he once was.
>WHAT THE F#CK ARE YOU DOING
>YOU KNOW SHE HATES IT WHEN YOU SAY STUPID SH1T LIKE THAT.
>SETTLE, MemoryBank_(CREATIVE)
>HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO STOP TREATING ME LIKE A GODDAMN-
Quiet, both of you.
You'll wake her.
Agent Sweet Memories...
What do you see now?
...
THE STARS ARE ALWAYS A CONSTANT.
IT FEELS GREAT, KNOWING THEY'RE ALWAYS THERE.
>GODDAMNIT.
>YOU SAID YOU EXTRACTED THE F*$KI#g MEMORIES
>HOW IS SHE STILL TRAPPED
LIKE NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME PASSES, I CAN STILL FEEL THIS WAY.
IS IT HOPE? TO ACCEPT WHAT YOU ULTIMATELY ARE IN THIS UNIVERSE?
MAYBE SOMETHING BEYOND THAT.
TO SIMPLY SAY 'NO'.
THATS WHAT YOU SAID, WASNT I-
>WE HAVE EXTRACTED THEM.
>THEY ARE STORED HERE, I CAN FEEL IT.
>SO WHY CAN SHE STILL REMEMBER THOSE EVENTS SO CLEARLY?
It may take some time.
Keep in mind how long she was running from us.
The experience of living is... quite a difficult thing to forget.
>AND YOU WANT HER TO BECOME THE NEXT Wonder Allecate?
>YOU'RE A FOOL TO THINK SHE WILL ACCEPT YOU.
>SHE IS CAPABLE, BUT BROKEN. WE MUST LEAVE HER HERE.
>AGENT PEST CTRL IS PERFECTLY ABLE TO HANDLE THE TRANSFUSION.
We will try again.
It does surprise me, a little.
Are you not strong enough now, Sweet Memories?
>YOU'RE THE ONE WHO INFUSED HIM WITH WHATEVER IT IS YOU KEEP TRYING TO PUT IN THE CHILDREN AS WELL.
>MAYBE THERES A REASON SHE CANT FORGET THE B4STARD
>TELL US,
>WHAT EVEN IS IT?
>WHAT DOES SOMETHING LIKE THAT DO TO AN INDIVIDUAL?
>BECAUSE WHATEVER IT HAS DONE TO WONDER...
>IT HAS MADE HIM REALLY, REALLY FRUSTRATING.

It is like instinct.
Burning in you, telling you what to do.
That was what the crystals felt like.
Never direct, but always present.
Giving me exactly what I wanted.
>IF TELLING YOURSELF EVERYTHING IS OKAY HELPS YOU SPEED UP THE PROCESS, BE OUR GUEST.
>LADY, WHY DO YOU THINK THE Allecate FAMILY REQUIRE SUCH A POWER?
>FROM YOUR MEMORIES, THEY SEEMED STRONG. INDIPENDANT.
Ah, but too much so.
They mistake roaring arrogance for stark heroism
The Allecate's have always been in their own heads... unable to see the bigger picture.
I thought taking them under my wing would help but, well, they only seemed to see me as a target to beat.
Feel the scratch down my back? Thats from Danger when she was only a teenager.
>AND LOOK AT HER NOW.
>A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.
>WHY DO YOU THINK SHE NEEDS TO BE FROZEN LIKE THIS, WITH THE OTHERS?
Think, if instead of a pleading higher up asking them to do good...
They had some sort of force to make them feel stronger...
They would listen much better, no?
Maybe follow their souls a bit more than just... whatever sense of justice they had.
>ALL I SEE IS WASTED POTENTIAL.
>THROW EVEN JUST ONE OF THEM AT WONDER AND HE IS DEAD.
Wonder. Comes back. Alive.
This is not a deathmatch.
We're not animals...
They are.

Its a new technology, and well...
His sister... she tainted him.
Got rid of those precious memories.
Now he's lost in a life he never should have lived.
>LOOK, THE CAMERAS.

LAST CHANCE.

You have done so well to bring him here.

>WHY WOULD WE-

LAST CHANCE. Activate the Connection Point. Wonder touched it, did he not?
>SO YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO SHOW THEM THE WAY... EVEN AFTER WHAT WONDER DID TO THEM.
Wonder placed his hand on the Connection Point.
What a child... it will be perfect.
Activate the Point, LAST CHANCE.
With this... it can finally begin.

You are there now, yes?
Good.
You need to keep a closer eye on Wonder from now on.
He made it into The Maw.
It is okay, we all make mistakes, dear.
Just be careful for him.
>HOLD.
What is it, Logical?
>ANOTHER IS NEARING.
>LOOK AT THE OUTDOOR CAMERA

I did not tell LAST CHANCE to return...
What are they doing back there?
>NOT THEM.

>WELL, YOU KNOW HOW I SAID THE New Squidbeak Splatoon WAS GOING TO SMELL WONDERS STENCH?
>WOULD NOW BE A GOOD TIME TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO. OR WHAT.
>BECAUSE HOLY SH1T THIS IS GETTING WORSE.
Shut up, Creative!
We cant verify if that is them.
Surely they would have learned better than to send just one child to a place like this.
PEST CTRL, you have to stop them from going any further.
Oh, I know.
I'm so sorry, but you have to do this for me.
I know those memories are upsetting.
But you'll do it for the family, wont you?
You'll be okay.
Good. We're counting on you, dear.
>THEY'RE STOPPING TO WRITE.

How many files are stored there still?
Do we have an exact number?
>56 FULL MEMORY LOGS ARE STILL STORED IN THE Overworld FROM OUR TOTAL OF 111

>WHAT?

>WHY NOT GRAB HIM NOW?
>WE COULD USE HIM.
We dont need the rest of the Splatoon involved this early!
His identity is enough.
He must have been following Wonder here.
Let him run, for now.
Search for everything about him.
Afterwards, begin the Chainsaw Process.
>ARE YOU SURE?
