“Shame about the grenades. I was hopeful.”

“Next up is some kind of guided energy weapon. Tokyo Electric Power just went in with a thick cable.”

“I’m starting to feel like I walked into a sci-fi novel.”

“Don’t. Apparently it works on the same principle as a microwave.”

While other members ran through ATLA’s prototype arsenal with Urushibara, Iori and Hagane reviewed a document they’d been handed by D-Powers labeled “Yokohama Report.” Miyoshi had trumpeted it as “A bonus!”

Iori had been skeptical what kind of information they’d gain from a bonus equipment pack-in, but her concerns proved groundless. Within the report was a shocking amount of data, including the results of experiments with cleaners’ above-ground division, which Team I had failed to accomplish, and various weaknesses of cleaners.

“How the hell did they manage all this?”

In other words, how had two civilian explorers managed what all of Team I had not?

“So the cleaner they moved to the surface didn’t divide at 1 p.m. as expected, but slightly later on,” Hagane said, scanning over the report. He sighed. If only it hadn’t divided at all, the urgency could be avoided.

D-Powers had captured the cleaner they’d used just before eleven, so it may still have had enough of some kind of energy from the dungeon stored inside its body to facilitate the division, according to the report. They would know for sure with the next division at seven this evening.

“I hate to imagine how much they’re going to charge us for that report.” Hagane chuckled, and turned the page.

“A large enough bomb might take care of this,” Iori commented, reading the passage on cleaner regenerative capacity.

“Hm. So they regenerate from any pieces larger than seven cubic centimeters. We could get ones at the center of a blast, but the floor is nine thousand square meters, plus there are slimes in the way. I wouldn’t get your hopes up.” Hagane recalled footage he’d seen of aerial bombing raids. “At least with something like a standard Mk 82, five-hundred-pound bomb.”

Since new cleaners would regenerate from all larger fragments, if anything, a large bomb carried the same risk as all other explosives—exacerbating the problem.

Irori finished reading the report. “So what do we do? Pass this higher up?” She looked Hagane in the eye.

The JSDF was scrambling for information. However, they couldn’t verify the report’s contents, and had next to no info on its authors or their methodology.

Hagane didn’t miss a beat. “It’s nothing new to go outside of standard channels when needed. The 3.5 ton truck was removed from official service, but it still sees plenty of use. Nothing else can do what it does as well.”

The truck, formally known as the Type 73 before being removed from the JSDF roster, had proved its mettle during the Great Hanshin Earthquake even after being decommissioned.

“You believe in them,” Iori stated.

“I believe in my gut,” he responded. “Not like we have much choice.”

“Okay. Then let’s mark this up with some of our own comments and pass it up the chain.
