"Hey, actually what are you guys doing here?!"

Once again, George complains as Payneth orders him to climb the roof tiles in one of the housing estates in Obsidian. He has just finished climbing the roof tiles at Stairmount's parents' house to put a rope ladder, so that Payneth can find and pull out the Transmitter there - indeed, Chrono has located a Transmitter at the roof above the house where Stairmount's parents dwell in. Now Payneth tells George to climb into another house located a few yards from Stairmount's parents' house. Anyway, they are doing this at night - and after deactivating some close surveillance cameras, of course.

Payneth replies, "No need for you to know about that. Only one thing you should know, you're doing this to accomplish the state duty!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB16VS8Mla
"Since it's for the state duty, then tell me the truth!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlazI8IRGwb
"I'll tell you later when it has all been settled!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2cNIQDu47
Clicking his tongue, George is forced to keep climbing up to the highest roof of the tile.

Beside Payneth, Daphne is standing rooted to the ground. Her face turns pale.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SkczaDC6V
"What's going on with you?" Payneth immediately notices the peculiarity in Daphne's expression.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8aQWBTqJA
"Ah... I just get that thought... they have installed a transmitter... then they know every move that Stairmount has made here... and what we all have done, as well..." That is what makes her shiver with fear right now.

"Oh, for that matter, just breathe in relief. It's just a Transmitter, not a bug. Transmitter is only used to save the code access. The bug has a more specific shape, if they dare to install a bug, I'm sure that Rivers have already found and destroyed it. Just because it is the Transmitter that they install then Rivers becomes unaware of it."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlNlZ5ZzmP
"Thank goodness..." Daphne lets out a sigh of relief. But only for a moment. "Such a bunch of evil people, they are. They can think of any evil way to control their victims."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXOXxzjsKx
A rope ladder protrudes down from the top of the roof. "Here, I've installed the ladder!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6NLjy5ROW
"Thank you." Payneth climbs the ladder swiftly.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOxEtT4ZeW
"Why do you bother yourself by climbing up here? Just tell me about what I have to do, so you don't have to go all the way up here by yourself." Staring at Payneth who is now looking for the Transmitter, George asks confusedly.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBq3GFDP9A
"You don't know about the things you have to search for. Only the programmers who know it." There are lots of bumps on the roof they climb this time, Payneth has to exert many efforts to maintain her balance.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxdPbO7H6R
"Geez!... You are really fond of keeping so many secrets! Just make me even more curious!" George snorts. "You know, your mysterious style indeed excites my intelligence soul to dismantle it!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy83gtPjHg
"Heck, you dare to do that, and you'll soon deal with Daphne's wrath!" Payneth threatens.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MXflxYqeg
Payneth appears to know that George has a thing for Daphne. The threat works, George gives up his intention. He thus whistles, and turns his eyes in another direction.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfbDW4mxu6
Payneth smiles inside her mind. That is the main reason why he takes George as the helper, and not the other Enigma agents. Although feeling curious, but because George is longing to win Daphne's heart, then the threat becomes effective to do at him. But about other agents, she doubts its effectiveness.

Finally Payneth finds the Transmitter. Such a very difficult thing to find that stuff even though she uses a detector to look for it. Perhaps the shape of the undulating roof obscures the detector to find it.

"Where else will we go?" George asks as he climbs down the rope ladder.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zliP1tZKG
Payneth stomps her feet on the ground. "We still have a lot of places to visit, such as some places at Topaz and Pearl."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t6QpBy5jD
"Wow, we'll cross from northernmost to the southernmost!" George clicks his tongue. "Hey, I need the rocket fare to get paid!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLNIzWnDDY
"Don't worry about the cost, George. I'll cover it." This time Daphne joins the conversation.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtXUAEwVpn
"Ah... it's not what I mean... I am just teasing Payneth, you know! How can I let the woman pay for it!" George replies hastily, while Payneth purses her lips. "I can still afford it, really! Just kidding!"
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mdB7f5eE6
So, after the task in Emerald, especially Obsidian (most of the Transmitters are found here) has been completed, they travel to Topaz and Pearl.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJOKHcQeTp
At first, they travel to Topaz. To be more precise, to Millennium University - their dormitory, campus, and even their laboratory of pathogenology. Here, they find it more difficult to seek the Transmitter since the location they should cast about for is much wider.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgE4LCvHTD
"Do you know how to find them, Payneth?" Daphne asks Payneth who is seriously staring at the screen of her mini cyber minipad. Their footsteps pound as they are passing through the deserted campus corridor.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEgu1SlKvP
"Just follow the signal this tool shows." Payneth doesn't even take her eyes off the screen. "Well, here it is. Hooo, not on the roof this time? Well, it will burden them themselves in the end if they still choose to install the Transmitter in such a high area."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOcwsyyWhH
George is about to open his mouth, but when he looks at Daphne's anxious eyes, he quickly abandons the intention one more time.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw08yq2zP4B
Payneth steps towards one of the large windows, pulls out the Transmitter plugged in there, observes it, then enters the access code recorded on the Transmitter.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn0FTct6W1
"Good. Now only the laboratory of pathogenology is remained, after that we can travel to Pearl. Hmmm, we won't be able to get there that easily. We have to take masquerades as laboratory workers. Let's find out which members we can use to disguise ourselves." Payneth searches on her ultra-cyber minipad. "We can use them. Jennifer Howard and Dennis Carousel. They're on vacation right now. We can pretend that they want to pick up something they left behind. Come on George. We disguise ourselves."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJP4cN2fbD
"Eh? How about me?" Daphne asks.
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i3R1Q5eUQ
"You can wait in the garden, Daphne. Your Jupiterian language isn't very fluent, and they can still find Neptunian accent in your words, vulnerable to getting suspected. Just leave this to us."
393Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5wQ4KXxpV
Daphne nods slightly. "Alright, then. Take care."
