[Revised Edition]

#1/27, updated before 1980.12.21.

Contraindication code: Eoubs-027

Estimated rating: DOJ (has caused 27 world-ending catastrophes)

Contents 01: Eoubs-027 was discovered at [Data Error]. Please contact the surviving data administrator for correction. The number of forbidden items discovered was subsequently numbered. This event caused the deaths of approximately 2.7 billion humans within 27 seconds (a backtracking plan has been initiated). The effects of Eoubs-027 are unpredictable, and attacks they cause are irreversible.

Creatures exposed to Eoubs-027 claim to have witnessed the truth of the universe, the death of all things, and the cross of judgment, and even having their facial features removed will have the same effect.

—The Gray Path—

They've all gone mad; they wanted to erase this era, but they failed.

We... paid an irreparable price.

Control command received.

Open the attachment: Audio Log

Grant access permissions.

You finally opened the file, at which point an extremely piercing electrical noise emanated from the speakers.

The deathly silence you fear will vanish in an instant.

Audio log begins.

"This is Dr. NNa, a Level B researcher."

The doctor's voice trembled slightly, making it sound less professional. She paused for a moment, took a deep breath as if telling herself to calm down, and then continued.

"Because the Americas division discovered several highly infectious contraindications this morning—we have cut off the universal network across the entire base—this audio recording will likely be stored using a backup coded communication channel."

"Well... there is some good news. For example, we can still receive update logs from several other branches and information about the progress of controlling 027-1 and two other branch entities. According to the information we received an hour ago, a considerable number of people at the Asian headquarters are doing the same. Some are trying to link to the second wave layer to seek help from the existence of forbidden human beings... some are trying to persuade the chief to use nuclear weapons. And some... like us, are just waiting for news in the base without any clue."

“All three stations in New York are closed, and I’m in Manhattan… At least, we’re not ready for those ‘judgments,’ at least not yet.”

Dr. NNa sighed.

"Just a week ago... Eoubs-027 descended upon the world, consisting of three humanoid beings. They claimed to be from the future, roughly a hundred years from now on Earth. We tried to negotiate with them, but failed... That bastard named Stanford even released the only ACE-level forbidden item we currently possess."

“Yes, right inside the base… Before the collapse, which was like a bowl of soup, those newly recruited operatives couldn’t even get seven feet away from the control room. I just watched those kids fall to the ground. But not long after, ‘they’ got back up.”

The doctor stopped again, continuing to utter incomprehensible ramblings.

"Ah...it's okay, I feel much better."

"That's about all the use of soft drugs, isn't it? They calm people down and make them less worried."

"But... what exactly happened in these past few days?"

Dr. NNa cleared his throat.

I can't escape.

"Hera was the first child to sign up. Her background remains a mystery, even to B-level researchers. But at that time, she went to New York dressed to the nines, trying to drive them away—unfortunately, things didn't improve much, those bastards! But we did learn a thing or two."

Sobbing, panting.

“Until the very end, only a few people had the authority to leave, and I chose to stay in the office. Bell lost control after she couldn’t contact Hera. She and a few operatives locked themselves in the lab with Earlier. I should go and see what they’re doing.”

In a short while, her words fell apart and became difficult to put together.

You hear the incessant buzzing of the current again.

"Hey! Nna! What are you still at the base?!"

A voice answered her.

Extremely sarcastic.

"She's here because she's different from you! She's (data error) and we (data loss) have to send the PhD into the fluctuation layer!"

Earlier, they fired back.

"Who's talking? I know the truth! Those three people told me everything... Someone come here—turn it off! Damn it, I need to talk to her."

Another interruption to the communication channel revealed a commotion.

A gentle and caring greeting enters your mind.

"NNa, what's wrong?"

"It's okay...it's okay."

There's nothing there.

Sobbing, panting.

"I want to confirm it one more time."

She pleaded with him.

"Really, I'm fine. I need to stay clear-headed and be number one."

"We are born to die."
