-[Forr Artemis Biological Research Institute, currently assessing the situation in the Contaminated Quarantine Zone... Out of 8 sectors, have been successfully quarantined.]

-[Noteworthy... the deep temperature in Sector Alpha continues to rise.]

-[Additional note: The biological ecosystem within the research facility has surpassed the previously anticipated mutation threshold. The expected growth suppression effect using liquid nitrogen input has not matched the actual results, which were not consistent since hours ago.]

-[Based on the footage from the drone deploynt protocol #005 and the predicted reproduction rate of unidentified organisms, along with ongoing anomalous physical phenona, it is deed essential to deploy further physical asures for purification.]

-[Proposal: Icarus operators with unlocked Lambda-level energy restrictions, along with 4 modified remote-controlled drones capable of handling the output.]

-[Summary: Observational value of Sector Alpha lost. Request issued for the activation of the extermination protocol.]

-[Notification: Extermination protocol approved by the President of the United States, the commander-in-chief.]

-[Notification: Purification process initiated.]

"Yay, it's been a while, everyone. As announced beforehand, today we're going to play GTFO with Iris—Going in, Tracking it, Finding it, and Out."

"This ga, like the others, was made by Icarus, which purchased a project from an external developer. The world setting and technology share so similarities with the Dark Zone, but it's not officially integrated into that universe."

"If you’ve seen the log after the ga started, you’d know, it’s Artemis again. It’s like they’ve gotten really comfortable using it."

"Hello everyone. And to all the believers, may the blessings of Ouroboros be with you..."

Biyam collaboration stream has started wwww

┼Repent┼

Iris is funny for sticking to the concept again lol

Is that... still the concept?

She’s fully changed her body, what concept are we talking about? lol

A few days later, in virtual reality.

With a natural rise in tension, four individuals—though one of them had physically erged into reality—stood in front of a military base, beginning their opening.

Large trucks carrying military supplies passed by the outside, and people who looked like a mix of soldiers and researchers continued moving around, chatting.

Only the four of them appeared out of place, but no one paid attention to it. After all, the ga was designed this way, and the four present had...

"These are the Icarus operators who will participate in the Extermination Protocol. I assu you're all familiar with the mission and related systems. We will now move to the drop pod control room for deploynt. Any questions?"

"No."

"Nope."

"None of us are newcors, right?"

With those words, they checked on each other. Of course, no one was unaware of what kind of ga this was.

So gars might think playing without knowing any information is the fun part, but that’s a dangerous mindset. Especially for famous strears like them.

Without prior research, it’s like wielding a double-edged sword—risking being cut themselves—but these strears didn't have to worry about such risks.

And besides, there was no harm in learning the system a little bit beforehand.

"Here’s the blueprint for the facility. You can check it after deploynt, but I strongly recomnd you review it beforehand. It may be too late to review it once combat escalates. I’ll leave now, so let know when you’re ready for deploynt."

"Understood."

"Seems like every ti we deploy, the facility structure changes slightly. No matter how many practice runs we do, in the end, we always have to rely on quick thinking..."

"Five sub-sectors, huh? You picked the hardest one, didn’t you? Soone didn’t pick the hardest difficulty, right?"

"No way, we didn’t."

Fact: This is the first mission.

This is why there’s no new player base, lol

Scary and chaotic ga? Who would even play this? wwwww

We support the Stella Universe 3rd generation and Iris's ad! Let’s make it a hit!!!

Artemis again???

Every ti they deployed, the sub-sector structures slightly changed.

The four of them lay in the four pods available and, in the next mont, they started checking their many UI elents.

They could select basic firearms, special weapons, gadgets, and lee weapons. Each of them selected their preferred weapons, considering their balance within the team and the map’s structure.

One of the Icarus operators' skills included artillery turrets, reconnaissance drones, pulses, and plasma hamrs...

Naturally, at the ntion of the plasma hamr, everyone’s minds went half blank.

The culprit was Iris.

"...Iris, what’s that?"

"It’s a plasma hamr."

"I know what that is, but that’s not what I ant…"

"Oh, you ant it that way? Don’t worry, guys, I didn’t choose it because I wanted to. It was recomnded by the Ouroboros god when we practiced for a previous collaboration!"

"Ah, then I’ll allow it."

????????

Weapon description: It’s effective, but super heavy, so it’s used sparingly.

Iris is EM-class, right? lol

It’s heavy (but not really).

So basically, it’s a weapon with no downsides and only strengths, huh? lol

Just as the audience was amused by Iris’s antics, Sonia and the others, aware that Iris’s behavior was a recomndation from Ouroboros, had long since abandoned any doubt in their minds.

The plasma discharge, generator, hamrhead, and handle, all together, weighed a terrifying 50kg. It required extre effort to raise and swing, but once used, it consud half of your stamina.

It was an insane item, but Iris didn’t care one bit about stamina loss, playing the ga in hardcore mode.

Probably.

As soon as they gave the "ready for deploynt" signal, the lights around them flickered, and their consciousness transferred into humanoid avatars, matching their in-ga abilities.

Multiple system windows popped up in front of them.

[Sector A1 deploynt initiated // Sub-sectors Alpha 1 through Alpha 5 recognized.]

[Real-ti purification progress: 0%.]

[Target depth: 377m]

[Mission objective: Locate and scan the broken liquid nitrogen pipes / Retrieve sub-sector scan data from the control room.]

[May the blessings of the gods be with us.]

The four pods descended into the heart of the facility with a loud crash. The surroundings were dark, and only the dim orange warning lights greeted them.

The space was filled with concrete dust, and the eerie silence, along with the sound of a hamr swinging, greeted them.

Wait.

Hamr swinging?

–––Whoooom!

"Whoa, that was close!"

"Wasn’t that 55kg? How did you swing that like a twig?"

"Hehehe, this weapon is perfect for purging heretics and monsters... Doesn’t matter what cos at us. Let’s get moving."

"Iris-chan, were you a heretic inquisitor rather than a nun...?"

Fact: Yes.

???: Didn’t I say I wasn’t an inquisitor? Don’t you see the hamr I’m holding?

Fine, do whatever you want, lol

Why does it seem like just adding one more nun makes the contaminated monsters not even fazed? lol

Living Point: Considering that Iris was recomnded the weapon by Eugene, the contaminated will now face a full 4-Biyam team.

...What kind of battles had these contaminated creatures gone through?

Sonia’s team briefly wondered about that, but it was a thought they couldn’t voice aloud.

The first mission had started.

–––Screech!

"...Huh?"

"There was a giant, but it’s gone."

"...Is this for real?"

"Hehe, once a nun, Iris will purify heretics in no ti."

What the hell did I just see???

Not even fully charged, just a head swing and a one-shot kill???

Living Point: No steroids or full charge, and the hamr’s special function wasn’t even activated.

This crazy girl just crushed a giant, lol

Considering that humanoid abilities match their avatars, it feels like sothing like that could happen even in reality, lol

A horrifying sound erupted.

A faint blue hamr traced a clean arc through the air, and when it fell like a guillotine, a disgusting squelching sound filled the air.

Unable to contain their curiosity, Sonia and the others activated the special analysis functions of their humanoid avatars, including night vision. What they saw was a massive, crumpled contaminated creature, nearly crushed.

Iris stood next to it, holding the plasma hamr, looking like a demon or executioner, covered in blood and so unknown liquid.

Her appearance was chilling, as her humanoid form followed her avatar design—unnervingly unsettling.

"Yeah, this is definitely convenient... Long live Iris-chan."

"Co to think of it, didn’t Iris train with Eugene? It feels like if we just charge forward with lee weapons, we can break through no matter what the map looks like."

"...Ah, yeah. That’s true. What should I say, if we’re explorers, she’s more like a bulldozer."

"Yup."

The day we bring up 'bulldozer' in GTFO, lol

With 4 Manifestors charging with plasma, it’s obvious they’ll crush everything, even without guns, lol

Honest opinion: If they’re Biyam, they’d probably smash even the undead with hamrs.

Seriously... if a person with that much force hits sothing that’s barely bigger than a person, it’s not even a contest, lol

Well... the U.S. president did order the purification, but don’t the enemies deserve so sympathy?

The four Manifestors, deployed to "purify" the contaminated facility, seed to fulfill the ga's purpose the best. It was a thought that crossed everyone’s mind, except for Iris.

Anyway, they kept advancing towards the control room, as more and more contaminated creatures appeared, signaling they were getting closer to their objective.

It didn’t take too long.

They reached the gate leading to the control room.

As soon as the sensor for opening the barrier was activated, a ssage popped up on the UI.

[Notification: Conducting security scan. Please prepare for identification.]

[Notification: Scan initiated... 4 weaponized entities detected in front of the barrier. Average height 166cm, average weight 327kg. Humanoid. The entities were found to be made of an alloy not in the database.]

[Notification: Facility access code recognized. Conditions t to open the barrier.]

[Notification: Opening barrier.]

Boom!

The sirens whirred, and the heavy tallic sound filled the air as the door to the control room opened—revealing a massive internal space reminiscent of an aircraft carrier, though the view through the glass showed other imnse, unknown facilities.

But that wasn’t the important part.

The enormous noise and vibrations from the door opening spread throughout the corridors, even before they could recover data from the control room.

Without hesitation, Iris, holding a turret and a military-grade USB, plugged it into a panel covered in blood and so unknown liquid, checking the remaining ti.

4 minutes and 33 seconds. Considering they had to backtrack to escape...

"...This ga doesn’t have variable difficulty, right?"

"Probably."

"...So, are we playing at a difficulty level similar to hard mode right now?"

"Yep, you know it. Mount a machine gun."

Of course, lol

It’s your fault, lol

Iris
