As the broadcast said, these are late-stage Collapse Syndrome patients.

One male, one female.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Late-stage Collapse Syndrome patients…they’re unable to communicate.

They attack indiscriminately.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Most people nearby have safely evacuated.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

However, if the patients are provoked and move into the civic center…

we will have more casualties.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

So you’re saying you want to lead them to us?

Michele! Do you have dimensional stun rounds?

.

.

Yep, ready when you are!

.

.

The bodies of Strinovans are composed of countless String Sequence Nodes that carry a person’s spirit, thoughts, and memories.

Only a “dimensional stun round” with the Reverstring effect can actually deal a blow to a Strinovan’s body.
