Magi Craft Meister

At 7 a.m. on October 8 at Penglai time, Jen's 'Split Doll (Doppel)' Jen D flew west on Hope's piloted 'Pegasus 2', accompanied by a mini Reiko.

The aim is seven islands, the southernmost of which includes the island of Suizumi.

"Pegasus 2" arrived on the island of destination in less than an hour.

"All right, let's go down. Hope, come with me."

"Yes."

'Pegasus 2', which can take autonomous action linked to Hope, will be waiting over Jen D and Reiko Mini, and after Hope, the pilot, descends.

"Well, it's up ahead that there's a 'Remote Maneuvering Facility'"

Now that Jen D is being piloted by Old Man, we know all the results of investigating this island with the Peep View Telescope (Peeper).

By the way, no one is watching, but old man, when you're piloting Jen D, the tone is made to correspond to Jen.

"Right here, right here."

It is confirmed that this facility has been shut down.

So there should be little danger, but it is an 'Origin' facility, so I won't allow predictions of what will happen.

Jen D explores the entrance and exit disguised as a large rock protruding from the ground.

"" Analyze ""

"Peep View Telescope (Peeper)" has found that there is a passage behind it, but I haven't even looked up the opening and closing system.

Because unlike in the air or in clear liquids, it takes time to 'see' in solids that don't let light through.

That's what makes scanning on a micron basis necessary. That would take too long, so such a system would be analyzed locally.

Because Jen himself was not here this time, it was easier to avoid hazards (risk management).

"I see, this is the kind of system... you end up needing 'authentication' and failing to do so triggers a trap"

Insufficient data to 'deceive' the authentication system.

Fortunately, the energy in the facility is interrupted, so there is no danger that the trap will be activated if it remains so.

"Hope, give me a hand"

Jen D speaking in the tone of Jen only.

"Yes. What should I do?

"There is a sliding entrance and exit hidden in this part of this great rock. Open it up, but not enough power on your own."

Copy that, sir.

Reiko will be able to spare the time to open it, but in Jen D and Hope, it's just the two of us.

It's not the kind of door that can be opened with strength in the first place...

Anyway, because a door disguised as a rock weighs about ten tons.

"You can use engineering magic, but it could detect magic and activate the system."

In this sense, pure 'physical power' remained the most effective thing when dealing with the 'Origin' facility.

But only this point is different from Jen's. Because in Jen Himself, you won't be able to move a door disguised as this big rock when ten people get together.

That's for your information, old man, you were piloting Jen D.

Okay, let's go.

"Yes."

"Shh, shh!

By joining forces with Jen D and Hope, the servant door also began to move.

In that regard, as you predicted, the structure is similar to that of the 'Agate Base'.

"This is… the same 'rapist', so it sounds good to think about it"

That's all I know about factions. but if you are a 'rapist' you would be either an 'invader' or a 'pioneer'.

Just because I found that out doesn't make it any easier ahead of me, so as an old man steering Jen D, investigation in the facility will be my top priority.

The Peeping Telescope (Peeper) knew that the power was down, and the cause is roughly known.

"The equivalent of a breaker is working."

According to your view, the island is closer to the equator than the Northern Regression Line and has a past of low free magic (ether) concentrations.

The safety device was activated when the energy system adapted to such an environment was overloaded due to an increase in the concentration of free magic (ether).

I'm guessing so, old man.

"However, the fact that neither the golem in charge of maintenance nor the automatic doll (Automata) were inside means that there are likely to be personnel in charge of repairs, including other facilities"

In that case, the question remains as to why it is left unattended without repair.

"Didn't you come on patrol since the safety device was activated?

Reacting to the words out of Jen D's mouth, Hope expressed his opinion.

"No, I don't think that's likely"

Jenn D replied in a Jenn 'i tone.

"Because even if you look at the cleanliness inside, it's believed that it hasn't been ten years"

"Oh, that's true"

"Thinking about it, I wonder if it could be considered as a reason why I'm on patrol but not repairing it because I've decided 'there's no point in repairing it'"

"... what made you decide that?

"I suspect you've learned that there are no more people using this facility"

This facility is for the Originals.

And its ancestors (Origins) are gone.

What to do in that case.

"What would Hope do?

"That's right... I'm concerned about maintaining the current state of the facility, am I?"

"Yes, even if there was an automatic doll (automata) in the golem that was servicing this place, it would not be sneaky to leave it to the rough. But it's useless to fix it even though there's no one to use it. Instead, the power should remain stopped to prevent the suspicious from using it"

"Yes, it is."

Didn't you think so, Jen D said, and Hope was convinced too.

And go inside the facility where the power stays off.

The lights are only emergency 'ether emitters (AL)'.

The internal structure is grasped by the Peep View Telescope (Peeper), and the trap and security golem have been confirmed to have stopped, so Jen D went a long way.

"This is the room for you."

The room was also white.

Interior that could be called 'Command Room', but it was white.

There is a large magic projection window (magic screen), which is lined up like an operating panel.

"Is this the remotely piloted device?

"It's kind of simple,"

Hope gave his honest thoughts.

"Perhaps the manipulator just gives general instructions and the actual control is done by something like the 'auxiliary demon guide brains' built into the submarine"

Jen D explained to Hope that if the pilot were to judge not everything but, to some extent, the submarine side, he would also be able to move fairly advanced.

"Okay."

"Shall we do an analysis of the operating system here?"

I hope Jen finds a lot of things that interest him, but the old man who manipulates Jen D went ahead with the analysis thinking about it.
