"Hello, Dominique. Don't make any sound, just listen to me." Stairmount starts. "I want to warn you. Be careful, it seems that the Saturn government has installed a bug in your official residence. Check every angle in your residence very carefully. After that, let me know what you've got."

He closes his ultra-cyber minipad, and dials another team member's number. To tell them the same thing he has instructed to Dominique.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfJgyDN9Is
Right after Stairmount dials Pamela as the last member he contacts, a call comes from Dominique. Stairmount picks his minipad up.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1JVVchVzs
"Stairmount, I don't find any bugs at all. My house is safe."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCl5lyNWNE
"Have you checked it properly? They mustn't put it in an easy-to-find place for certain. Look for it once again."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLObOgzfjs
"But I've finished searching on the entire house."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymg4M0b2IV
"How about the back of the cupboard, or the area under the couch? Have you looked for it yet?"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExKgpDJPwz
"Ah, I've not yet searched for it there! I'll check it again!"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1rgGeV5ZE
Stairmount exhales a tired sigh. This is indeed what he is worried about; his team members are only brilliant at health sciences, but for everything else, they are goose eggs. Even worse, the others also give the same information as Dominique gave, and it only makes him even more nervous.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j3R7uMjkm
He finds Pamela, the only woman on his team member, calls him. As expected, she also gives the same response. "No bugs in my house, Stairmount."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXsI4h4LVJ
And as he did before, Stairmount asks, "Have you observed the places which are quite hidden?"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡima8Y5WLSr
"Yes. I have followed the ways of those spy movies; I've looked beneath the sofa, behind the cupboards, into the plant pots, and up to the ceiling of the house, but I find nothing!"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoqGc9cTzV
Not expecting to hear a different answer, Stairmount insists, "You are certain that your house is really safe?"
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroGwQ2qxoJ
"Totally safe."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL4vgVuI0D
"Well then." Stairmount says again. "Okay, we can take a relieved breath now. Have a good rest."
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmf8We8Ip9
Shortly after he closes the ultra-cyber minipad, another member of his team contacts him, also to provide the same information.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEIZ39UWIt
"I even browsed the internet about the locations where bugs are usually installed. I've followed their instructions, but I can't find anything," Calvin reports in detail.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre4lEQJMBB
"Okay then, your house is safe. We may rest assured." Then Stairmount disconnects the ultra-cyber minipad.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8euCxj4OW2
The result of his conversation with the five members of his team ignites mixed feelings of anger and confusion inside Stairmount's mind at the same time. He feels angry, because he makes a correct guess, Saturn government only discredits him, and not the others. And confused - he must be confused, after all. Why is the Saturn government so antipathy to me? If they hate Jupiter, then they should have had entire official residences of the delegation team bugged. But, why do they only do this in my house? What the heck is going on here? What is their real purpose? Or do... they know? They know about Chrono's evil plan? About Sierra Pathogen???...

Once again, Stairmount looks heavenward, to the ceiling. His eyes flash intensely, and the corners of his mouth are tightly shut.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mYaf1y9Dw
He cannot lose to his opposition. Because this all concerns the lives of his parents.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs9kkjXcJY
He has to win. Whatever happens.

That person is twirling the pen inside their left finger, their eyes are busy looking at their flying transparent screen which has just suddenly turned black. They clicks their right finger, as a sign of doing a rewind. Soon, the flying transparent screen shows the scene before the screen changes color.

"Ha, you said, your father defends Saturn so intensely. But now what are you doing instead?" They keeps observing the screen showing the angry Stairmount was yelling many cursing words to release his infuriation towards Saturn's representative team. "You instead stab your ancestral country in the back. As you said, we do hate you more than those foreign bastards. They are foreigners after all, not of the same blood as us, so it's understandable that they are mean to us. But you. You have Saturnian blood, same as ours, but you become that bastard's minion instead, and stab us in the back. The allegory is the same as that of the parents getting betrayed by their son. Of course, it hurts us much more, Schynn Rivers."

They turns off the cyber screen. And now looking at a sheet of paper. Which turns out to be a complete identity sheet regarding Stairmount.
