"So, Payneth isn't your real name?" That was what Daphne asked as she was sitting in the living room of Payneth's house.

Payneth took a sip of her coffee. "It's just an alias."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuKOLIBv0q
"Why do you have to use an alias, then?"
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9UiGbzUWv
"Because I am on an important mission that nobody should know about - especially those vandals from Jupiter."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr4ZTnAv7y
"You... are you a Neptunian?"
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9ke8pqCW8
A sudden gust of wind blew in from the window as Payneth answered. "Yes."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmGuyRgdDI
"Why is a Neptunian in Jupiter to accomplish the mission?"
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQCrBkTTif
"You know the reason why Neptune attacks Pluto?"
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjm3SFNsFu
"Because of the hatred towards Pluto government?..."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuYQOcm0ts
"No. But, to weaken the power of Jupiter and the Nature Continent."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6AEFpC9n7
"Weakening the power of Jupiter and Nature Continent just by attacking Pluto? How come?"
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPVo3sErqj
Payneth smiles. "That's the beauty of this devised strategy. Just wait for it to show its fangs. It will happen before long."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHIM11QdD3
So, it is the main reason why Neptune attacks Pluto - to weaken Jupiter. But why don't they attack Jupiter directly? Why do they even have to sacrifice unrelated people, like us?... Daphne thinks grimly. Trying to push that useless gloom far away, Daphne asked, "First, I apologize for asking such kind of presumptuous question..." Clearing her throat, Daphne tried to get rid of her clumsiness. "Are you... Neptune's government officer?... Neptune's intelligence agent?"
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ65rnd2aPK
Payneth didn't make an immediate answer; she gazed at Daphne so keenly and inquisitively that it made Daphne so agitated. But in the end, she gave that answer, "Yes. I'm an agent of Enigma."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUFYS3IFkE
"Ah, no wonder why you're so amazing."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCSnZLu0Rf
"So now, you want to get rid of the data on you and your mother which Chrono has probably documented?"
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU4gsQrqph
Daphne nod her head. "Right."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4vTulO0E3
Payneth took her laser pen, pointing it at the vacant air. The pen soon emitted a flash of golden-greenish rays which opened as a cyber monitor. While waiting for the transparent monitor to load, she prepared some strange, jet-black electronic devices, and arranged them on her desk. Then she started to work.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80DwdGTw7f
"Your name and your mother's?"
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQYoeI2LIb
"I am Daphne Yalle. My mother, Mirinda Yalle."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDilpziaXT7
Payneth focused her looks and then created text after text on the cyber monitor. Soon the monitor showed a table of name lists. Payneth had her eyes look up and down. It turned out that she was looking for their names on the list. It took a long time for Payneth to find it, very different from the situation when Payneth helped Mr. Finns before. Waiting for so long, Daphne soon understood what actually Payneth meant about the high level of difficulty she said in the previous time. Her clutched hands were starting to get wet with cold sweat.

Payneth turned around. Her face looked agitated. "You're right. Both of your names are listed on the Sapphire Genocide Project of Chrono."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92GxEJyJ8y
A great surprise forced Daphne to stand up in a sudden. Actually she just planned to find a way to help Stairmount, as for herself, she only used it as an excuse to dodge since she had no way out to do that. The fact which really surprised her soon prompted her to gaze sharply at the transparent screen. It was now full of that detailed, full-of-small-text name list.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJcGKvrigS
"Ah... so why they could find out the victims to be arrested was... because of this..." Daphne stared at the long name list, face was filled with horror. "So detailed... even photos, addresses, ages are also recorded neatly..."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ185WjFHalw
"But you're in Jupiter right now? I think, they don't record that you have become a fugitive?"
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2iS4MxnBn
"What do they record, then?"
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrP1DWkSzC
"This is the only list I can find. It seems like this is the data they used on Pluto to find the targeted ethnic Neptunians people."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdzVP4z0GM
"Well... it was really crowded at that time..." Daphne suddenly shuddered as she remembered that horrible incident. "What a nightmare..."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIOqSWbo2D
Payneth looked at that dumbfounded girl with pity.
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztHofLfj7Y
"I think you can be assured. They don't even know that you've managed to escape, the proof is, this is the only data I can get."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIwxFwxjqv
Starting to breathe in relief, Daphne's eyes automatically shifted to the other side of the page. But suddenly she saw that name. The name which made her heart almost jump to her throat. "Stairmount..."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32xcnJ0tAW
Daphne's unconscious mutter immediately provoked Payneth's curiosity to return her gaze to the page. She immediately found Stairmount's name mentioned by Daphne. "You say, this Stairmount Rivers?"
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPjtya5Dm8
Daphne immediately realized that she had slipped with her words. "No!..."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLI16zEUuz
But now Payneth kept her eyes on Stairmount's name. "Isn't Stairmount Rivers the delegation team leader of Jupiter Health Department assigned to the Jupiter-Saturn cooperation program?" Daphne bit her lip, not expecting Stairmount to be so famous that even the Enigma agent can recognize him. "Why does his name appear in Sapphire Genocide Project of Chrono?" She pointed her index finger at the transparent monitor, precisely at Stairmount's name. The monitor changed its screen - now showing all data of Stairmount. Payneth looked at them one by one. "So strange. This page doesn't show that Stairmount Rivers has anything to do with Sapphire Genocide Project. The information on one page is completely different from another. Even more, a page shows very detailed data, but another page only shows this data, which is very few. How come Chrono can be such reckless... or..."
213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZT4XsMzuj
Payneth turned her head to the right, since she decided to observe the thing she considered as more interesting than the data. Daphne's shocked face, as if the young woman had just watched something horrifying. She looked back at the page containing the identity of Stairmount. Then asked, "You know Stairmount Rivers?"213Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuBPlLxPk9
