Mega Tokyo 2032 AD File 2: The Chang Case Part 1

Case File 2: The Chang Case Part 1 Classified: For Official Use Only Two days have passed since the explosion. The fire department has now brought the blaze under control. The building is a genome research facility. We don't yet have any information about what was being worked on there. The corporations are doing everything in their power to keep us away from the building. I'm making a note to have an investigation carried out later in Gildenstein. The interior of the building resembles a ruin; smoke constantly rises from the rubble. The number of victims is still unknown, but it feels like I'm stepping over another body every two meters. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Shadows of ash on the walls where a poor soul has burned. The fire was so hot that only the shadow of the person remains. The smell of burnt flesh is everywhere. Destroyed machinery and equipment are scattered about. Small fires are still burning here and there; fire crews are already dealing with them. Those fools destroyed a large portion of the evidence with their firefighting efforts. So far, everything points to an accident, but I'm not so naive as to believe that. Especially since Leon and Daley are here too. Hana: Hey you two, what's the Anti-Boomer Unit doing here? Leon: Well, isn't that little Hana? Hana: I'm not little... Daley: He's just picking on you, Hana. We always investigate whether Boomers were involved in incidents like this. Hana: So? Were Boomers responsible for this? Leon: Good question. The fact that the Gemon idiots aren't letting us into certain parts of the facility is suspicious. Leon has a valid point there, which doesn't make things any better considering the damage the explosion caused to the surrounding buildings. Hana: Okay, let's gather as much evidence as possible so we can get those bastards. Leon: Sure, if a few suits lose their heads because of it, I'm in. Daley: I heard Genom is supposed to hold a press conference in an hour. Hana: Interesting, I'll check it out. Thanks for the info, Daley. Daley: You're welcome, Hana. Meanwhile. Priss: Linna, what's wrong? Don't dawdle. I have a performance later. Linna: Ahh, sorry Priss... That was Irene, i think. Priss: Irene? Linna: I know her from one of my fitness classes. Her husband works at the facility that exploded two days ago. She still hasn't heard from him. Priss: She didn't look very well. Maybe we should go and see her. Linna: Yeah, you might be right. Priss and Linna follow Irene, who's on her way to the press conference. I have to hurry, or I'll be late. I hope I get some new information about Roy's whereabouts today. When I arrive, the conference is already over. What am I going to do? Roy, where are you? What am I going to do without you? I fight back my tears; I've already cried so much in the last two days. Just then, I see Roy's supervisor, Mr. Masion. Maybe he can tell me something. I approach him and confront him. Irene: Mr. Masion? I'm Irene Chang, Roy Chang's wife. He was at the facility when the accident happened. Can... can you tell me if he's still alive? Brian: I'm sorry, I don't know who you mean. Irene: But you must know him. Roy always talked about you. Brian: You're wasting my time. Get out of my way. Irene: But... I grab his arm to stop him from leaving. The moment I touch his arm, someone punches me in the face. The force of the blow knocks me to the ground; my head is pounding. When I come to my senses, I'm lying face down on the floor, staring into the coldest pair of eyes I've ever seen. ???: Didn't you understand him? You little bitch. The woman looks down at me, tears streaming down my face. A new pain shoots through me as she grabs my hair and pulls me up. God... Priss: Hey, whore, go after someone who can fight back! ???: Then come if you dare. I need to buy Linna some time so she can get Irene away from here. Linna: Irene, are you hurt? I rush at her and attack. Damn, she's fast; she easily dodges my attacks. But not with me. I'll finish you off. My punch lands on her nose. She catches it effortlessly mid-movement and holds my fist in her hand. Her laughter sends a shiver down my spine, then she squeezes. I feel like she's breaking my hand as her other arm shoots out and grabs my throat. She's cutting off my air; my lungs are burning, and I can barely keep my eyes open... Daley was right; there really was a press conference, but once again, it was just corporate drivel. Then a scream cuts through the silence. A woman in a black dress has just knocked another woman to the ground, and two others rush to her aid. I have to intervene; I draw my pistol and fire a warning shot.

Hana: AD Police, stop immediately! There will be no further warning shots! You reached the end of this file. Don't forget to close it if you are finished.
