Senior Originium Physicist Aquito tells you that her team found a special Protocol Space aboard Dijiang that they have named the "Valley's Aberrants".

Hold on. Let me jot down these numbers first...

Are you Aquito?

You are obviously interested in this research.

Time to dive in and see what's what.

Give me a moment to prepare.

Hold on. Let me jot down these numbers first... And yes, I just reported to the General Technological Committee.

Aquito. Senior Originium Physicist. As you can see, I'm conducting research work right now.

The main Protocol-Originium structure of Dijiang recently exhibited an unexpected jolt of activation. Shortly afterwards, one of our operators found this portal.

The readings we're getting from it are extremely ... interesting. As of now, we have discovered at least thirty signal patterns never recorded before.

And this is exactly why I invited you here. We need an explorer to investigate this, and none is more suitable than you.

None of our scouting drones made it back. Interference is just too strong. It's a Protocol Space, after all.

And due to this very reason, the General Technological Committee has determined that it is very likely to pose a safety hazard to Dijiang.

Now, given your ... intimate connection to Protocol-Originium, your involvement might be the safest option available to us.

Thank you for your understanding. Don't worry. I'll be right here monitoring the status of the Valley's Aberrants.

If things get too hot, I'll execute an emergency bootloader and extract you from the Protocol Space. So, why don't we get started right now?

Given our current observations, we have given this Protocol Space a temporary name: "Valley's Aberrants". Many of the things within it might look similar to those in the real world, but they are wholly different as well.
