Instead, it initiated direct communication through the psyche.\nOut of all the languages I knew, the Abnormality appeared to use my most commonly spoken one. I did not see any sound-producing organs such as the mouth or vocal cords in motion.\n“Bring Snow White.” This is what the Abnormality said. A report on the former L Corp. I analyzed after disengagement suggests that it has a connection with F-04-42.\nIn addition, I discovered a corpse that seemed to belong to the staff that arrived here before us for preliminary investigation. Their ID confirmed that they were from the Operations Planning department, so we retrieved the remains and left the scene before a battle could break out.\nConcluding the report."

This is based on the managerial procedures retrieved from the branch facility.\nI will describe its behavior during combat.\nIt attacks using growths of vines. It wraps its vines around itself as well, forming a shape that resembles a dress; it is possible that it believes itself to be a “noble”.\nIts vines are used in a variety of ways, such as persistently stabbing one Sinner and rising from the floor to injure multiple Sinners.\nIn addition, its sturdy exterior made it difficult to damage.\nIn one battle where many Sinners were lost, we managed to remove one of its arms. (As I could most aptly describe.) I found then that it could no longer perform the attack that targeted every Sinner.\nI will record any additional discoveries I observe in future encounters.\nConcluding the report."

Although Heathcliff’s head was destroyed as well, it should be a negligible loss as it is a renewable asset.\nIt continued to move and attack despite the lack of a head, but we found that its exterior significantly softened.\nRemoving its “limbs” became a much more manageable task.\nEven though the head grew back after a period of time, the removal of its arms and legs in the meantime freed us from the threat of powerful attacks for the rest of the operation.\nConcluding the report."

Right, those things weren't actually clay.\nMuscles... That's got to be it, muscles. Ripping one of those gave me the same feeling as tearing up an unlucky sod.\nSeemed like those bundles of muscles sticking to the limbs were what's moving the body, acting like the whole thing belongs to 'em. The eyes on the face never flinched, only the ones on the arms.\nMade it a bit tricky to fight 'em. I'm supposed to guess where it'll go next based on where it's looking, but that eye thing kept throwing me off. Well, I don't mind taking a hit too much if I can skelp 'em three times in return.\nAnother thing… Those things looked like they had feelings. Their muscles quivered each time I hit 'em. Squinted their eyes, too… Like it was getting mad.\nSome clatty fruitcake they are.\n→ What does a C.F. taste like? Is it artistic? You piqued my interest.\n→ That's just a common Backstreets phrase… Meaning something absurd.\n→ I know. J.K."

No, there may have been more, as it possessed more than three mouths.\nAtop the canine heads was the figure of a person, charred beyond recognition. Though a combustion of that degree normally would have reduced such a figure to ashes, its form was as solid as it could be, its muscles even showing motion.\nIn addition, a heap of wooden telephone poles are lodged into the wolves' body as stakes would a prisoner. They seem to periodically emit electricity, but I couldn't fathom through what means they were able to do so.\nSuch is all I have to say."

Which reminded me of animals tested under similar conditions in the laboratory.\nUsing electric stimuli, those animals were made to move as some other being intended.\nIt made me wonder if the same is happening to this creature.\nWhile its claws hurt me gravely, I felt an ounce of pity for it as well.\nSuch is all I have to say."

Collecting lightning in its body, it used the power to fuel itself.\nAlas, its usage of the lightning's energy was not for a self-motivated purpose such as pursuit of strength;\nthe accumulated electric forces appeared to dictate its motion, giving me the impression that it was the will of the sky that it followed.\nWhile drawing up such thoughts, Miss Faust reminded me that it's not right to have such impressions of Abnormalities.\nThus, I conclude the log here lest it becomes too sentimental."

An autopsy after battle revealed no combustible materials stored inside, suggesting that the fire was not created via physical means.\nNo further discoveries were made.\n...A shame, Faust was hoping to learn more things.\n→ You made me stand guard for hours while you dissected their bodies, try to be happy with what you got."

Instead, it initiated direct communication through the psyche.\nOut of all the languages I knew, the Abnormality appeared to use my most commonly spoken one. I did not see any sound-producing organs such as the mouth or vocal cords in motion.\n“Bring Snow White.” This is what the Abnormality said. A report on the former L Corp. I analyzed after disengagement suggests that it has a connection with F-04-42.\nIn addition, I discovered a corpse that seemed to belong to the staff that arrived here before us for preliminary investigation. Their ID confirmed that they were from the Operations Planning department, so we retrieved the remains and left the scene before a battle could break out.\nConcluding the report."

It wraps its vines around itself as well, forming a shape that resembles a dress; it is possible that it believes itself to be a “noble”.\nIts vines are used in a variety of ways, such as persistently stabbing one Sinner and rising from the floor to injure multiple Sinners.\nIn addition, its sturdy exterior made it difficult to damage.\nIn one battle where many Sinners were lost, we managed to remove one of its arms. (As I could most aptly describe.) I found then that it could no longer perform the attack that targeted every Sinner.\nI will record any additional discoveries I observe in future encounters.\nConcluding the report."

Although Heathcliff’s head was destroyed as well, it should be a negligible loss as it is a renewable asset.\nIt continued to move and attack despite the lack of a head, but we found that its exterior significantly softened.\nRemoving its “limbs” became a much more manageable task.\nEven though the head grew back after a period of time, the removal of its arms and legs in the meantime freed us from the threat of powerful attacks for the rest of the operation.\nConcluding the report."

Collecting lightning in its body, it used the power to fuel itself.\nAlas, its usage of the lightning's energy was not for a self-motivated purpose such as pursuit of strength;\nthe accumulated electric forces appeared to dictate its motion, giving me the impression that it was the will of the sky that it followed.\nWhile drawing up such thoughts, Miss Faust reminded me that it's not right to have such impressions of Abnormalities.\nThus, I conclude the log here lest it becomes too sentimental."

Robot arms came out clanking just like now, too.\nReflecting on it, back in my day…\nHah, guess it goes further back, actually. People much older than me used to work with hunks of metal like that, or so I heard.\nIf the stories are to be believed, some were modified for combat purposes. That sure takes me back…\n→ Old fart.\n→ …Who wrote this?"

We chopped that thing off.\nThe claw was a pretty big bother to get around, but when we cut into that thing somehow, that tin can stopped moving! Haha, that sure gave us a breather.\n…Well, it might be because the heart belonged to the robot.\nIt's creepy, but whatever. It's an Abnormality, yeah?\nI didn't get to spare much sympathy for others during the war, and I'm definitely not wasting any on unknown freaks like that.\nWe've got to live."

It's hardly surprising that a floating statue makes an incompetent commander."

Collecting lightning in its body, it used the power to fuel itself.\nAlas, its usage of the lightning's energy was not for a self-motivated purpose such as pursuit of strength;\nthe accumulated electric forces appeared to dictate its motion, giving me the impression that it was the will of the sky that it followed.\nWhile drawing up such thoughts, Miss Faust reminded me that it's not right to have such impressions of Abnormalities.\nThus, I conclude the log here lest it becomes too sentimental."

"story": "This encounter was largely the same as before. As such, I have attached a copy of the record from a previous encounter below for reference.\nWe engaged the entity in actual battle around 0310 hours today. Thus, I am writing this report to let you know of my findings.\nThe advice I offered earlier worked as predicted. My sincere thanks to you for adopting my suggestion after due consideration.\nWith the basket damaged, it lost its ability to replenish its chicken-like minions, cutting off further reinforcements.\nWhile it may be obvious (This is of course not directed at your sensibilities, Executive Manager), its combat prowess was considerably lowered with its minions gone.\nThough removing the enemy leader directly using asymmetric forces is considered an efficient strategy in most situations, I believe this is one of the cases where concentrated attacks and gradual breakdown of the enemy's defenses will prove wise.\nI hereby conclude the report.\nThank you for reading.\n→ You think Clockface can make heads or tails out of your military jumble?\n→ I have already given an oral explanation to the Executive Manager. Also, do not use such degradatory titles to refer to them."

"story": "- Composed of steel plates with bluish rust and marks left by heat.\n- Its appearance resembles that of an animal commonly referred to as the bull.\n- Though the analysis isn't precise, the material's properties suggest it consists of an alloy of copper and zinc.\n- It has another component other than steel plates; there appears to be a humanlike being inside it.\n- K Corp's drones are flying around it. They appear to be filming Sinners occasionally.\n- Though the reason or principle is unclear, it's thrown into a state of agitation. Because it was expected to make the battle more unfavorable for us as it went on, I suggested to the manager that the drones be destroyed first.\n- The being inside constantly had a facial expression one would make while in pain.\n- Its movement tends to be erratic and abrupt, possibly due to the pain caused by the heat.\n- Its body is assumed to have intense heat. Whenever a Sinner was attacked by it, causalgia and burns could be observed.\n- Clouds of gas assumed to be breaths or steam were observed near its head.\n- It sometimes raised its body to slam a Sinner with its weight. And other times, from the head...the humanlike being emerged for an attack. Its dizzying cry left a lasting impression.\n- When a Sinner was attacked by the humanlike being, they would display serious depression. The mental damage possibly caused them to be immobilized or become reluctant in combat. This effect is expected to be temporary.\n- Concerned that it might render Sinners unable to further participate in battle, the manager has ordered to prioritize disabling its head. It is deemed to be an effective approach. The humanlike being could no longer be observed in battle once dealt with.\n- No further discoveries to be made; the observation log is concluded.\n\n→ Aah… It suffered for such a long time… Unable to do anything about the raging thirst, the flesh endlessly burning and searing…\n\n→ Oi, kid's still messed up.\n\n→ Faust will take care of it."
