Fate/Grand Order: First Order

The Shiva Lens has detected an abnormality!

Coordinates confirmed!

Abnormal value rising!

Laplace is getting a read on the situation.

Hurry!

The light...

Chaldeas was created from a reproduction of Earth's soul.

If the light of that civilization is extinguished...

Gather the potential Masters immediately!

It's time to move Rayshift out of the experimental phase!

Unless we regain the light of Chaldeas, humanity has no future.

Who are you?

Let's see...

Someone whose name is not worth remembering... or something.

I mean, I have a name.

But I don't often have the chance to say it,

which means I don't get to make an impressive self-introduction.

Huh? Where am I?

That's an easy one.

This is an observatory, built to ensure that humanity's future lasts as long as possible.

This is the Chaldea Security Organization.

Have you calmed down now?

Thanks.

I remember undergoing some sort of simulation when I first arrived.

The Spiritron Dive, right?

If you're not used to it, it can put a lot of stress on the brain.

My head is still pounding.

You were lying on the floor unconscious when Fou found you.

That's all I know.

Fou?

A-Are you okay?

Y-Yes...

This squirrel-like beast is Fou.

It has the privilege to roam freely around Chaldea.

As you can see, he goes where he pleases.

An unusual creature, isn't he?

He rarely approaches anyone except for me,

so it seems he's taken a liking to you, Senpai.

Huh...

Congratulations.

You've just become Fou's second attendant in Chaldea.

Th-Thank you.

By the way, are you one of the potential Masters they gathered for Rayshifting?

Oh, yeah.

They said I was qualified to form a contract with a Servant,

so somebody from here invited me.

By the way, what's Rayshifting?

You came here without knowing what you're here to do?

Well, they were very passionate about inviting me here.

That's a new one.

Really?

Chaldea is a research facility and observatory

that gathers researchers of every stripe, from sorcery to science,

all for the purpose of continuing the existence of humankind for as long as possible.

Our top researchers have developed Chaldeas, a global environmental model.

Chaldeas?

It was proposed that planets had souls,

so this miniature Earth was replicated to reflect that soul.

"As long as the light of civilization burns in Chaldeas,

humanity is guaranteed to last at least another 100 years."

Unfortunately, the light has suddenly begun to die.

If that light vanishes, civilization will come to an end.

According to our observations,

the human race will become extinct in December 2016.

What?

A close examination of our data has revealed a new abnormality.

That's Spatial Singularity F.

We discovered from 2004 to 2016 CE, there was a suburban city in Japan

that was "unobservable" and did not exist in history.

Chaldea assumed that was the cause of humanity's extinction,

and proposed the Rayshift experiment to the United Nations, which received approval.

Rayshift turns humans into Spiritrons and sends them back into the past

to intervene in certain events.

In other words, it's like time travel.

In this way, we can travel back to the past,

figure out why humankind ends, and fix the problem.

That's the idea behind Rayshift, which Chaldea is currently trying to conduct.

I was invited to join something that incredible?

Surprised?

Yeah...

So time travel is actually possible now?

Oh, that's right.

Sorry, I should have said before.

I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru.

I apologize for not making a more impressive self-introduction,

but it's nice to meet you.

How long have you been here?

Here...

Two years.

Then you're my Senpai, right?

No, everyone here is a Senpai to me.

What's your name?

Don't tell me you're "someone not worth mentioning" okay?

My name is...

Mash.

Mash Kyrielight.

So this is where you've been.

Professor Lev.

The briefing on the Master potentials is about to begin.

Come to the control room immediately.

Oh, who are you?

Number 48...

Oh, one of the common recruits.

Please don't be disappointed.

All of you are necessary for this mission.

I'm Lev Lainur. I'm one of the engineers here.

H-Hello.

By the way, shouldn't you be going as well?

Where?

The briefing.

If you're late, the director will glare at you for an entire year.

U-Um, where is it?

Over here.

It's unusual for you to become involved with someone, Mash.

What do you find so appealing about him?

Senpai is... human.

Let me revise that. To be exact, he seems human.

I have a feeling all of the people here are a little different.

That's because all the people in Chaldea have one or two quirks.

What does that—

Welcome to the Chaldea Security Organization.

I'm Olgamally Animusphere, the director of Chaldea.

And all of you have been summoned from around the world

for the rare talent you possess.

By talent, I mean the potential to perform a Spiritron Dive.

You possess Magic Circuits and the qualifications to become a Master.

That being said, it's a special talent, but you yourselves are not special.

Make yourselves aware that you are no more than tools

whose sole purpose is to protect humankind.

Geez...

Tools?!

What does that mean?

Silence!

If you don't like what I have to say, leave Chaldea immediately!

Fine then.

Chaldea has never seen this many...

48... Commoner's block...

Why...

Senpai.

Mash...

Senpai, you've been excluded from the first mission.

I'll take you to your room.

In the world of Magecraft, ability is a given,

but lineage says a lot as well.

The director is the head of the Animuspheres, a distinguished family of Mages.

She indeed has a strong predilection for bloodlines.

Many potential Masters were needed

after moving Rayshift out of the experimental stage..

But only a handful of Mages had that potential.

So that's why average citizens like myself were so aggressively recruited.

Will you leave Chaldea?

I haven't decided for certain yet.

But for now, I'll do what I can here.

And leaving like this would be frustrating.

As high as we are above the ground, we can't see one bit of the blue sky.

Blue sky, huh?

If you spend two years up here, I guess you wouldn't get a chance to see it, huh?

This is your room, Senpai.

Thank you for everything.

Not at all.

You'll participate in the mission, right, Mash?

Yes.

Which is why I must leave now.

Mash!

Um... Be careful!

She's kind of an interesting girl.

E-Excuse me...

Yes... Come in...

Who are you?!

U-Um...

This is my "hooky hangout"!

Who said you could come in here?

I was told this was my room.

Your room? Here?

I see.

So the last kid finally showed up...

Um, you are?

I'm Romani Archaman, head of the medical division.

Everyone just calls me Dr. Roman.

You're the head!?

S-Sorry to bother you when you're taking a break...

No, not at all. Really, I'm just a run-of-the-mill doctor.

By the by, isn't the Rayshift starting soon?

I heard all staffers were involved with that.

Actually...

In other words, you pissed off the director and were cut from the first mission.

Yes.

Then that makes two of us.

The director chased me out, saying,

"When Romani is here, the mood lightens up too much!"

All I could do was sulk in this room.

Oh, really?

But now since neither of us has anything to do, we should deepen our friendship.

O-Okay...

And that's Chaldea's structure.

It was built 6,000 meters above sea level in the mountains, with a basement workshop...

Hey, Lev.

Romani, Rayshift will begin shortly.

Would you come here as well, just in case?

Did something happen?
