00:301
01:07Ah, you made it. I've got some tickets, and I managed to set something up with a Rokot.
01:13It'll have to wait until after the show, though. Happy to stay and watch?
01:17I doubt you've seen the Korolevsky troupe on stage before.
01:23Pleasure. Here, this is the way in.
01:32Please present yourself for a routine inspection in accordance with theater regulations. Thank you.
01:38Hmm.
01:46Uh, is that guy with the Fatui? Looks like he's waiting for something.
01:52Okay, all done. Thank you for your cooperation. Please proceed through to the theater.
02:08What's up? Everything okay?
02:13Snezhnaya's business and political leaders are always passing through here, so it makes sense that security's tight.
02:19Still, it's a little unusual to see the Fatui's Armory Palace guard here.
02:25You saw him, right? The guy right at the back. Strong, silent type.
02:31His name's Valeri. He's part of the Special Assignments Battalion.
02:35But I only ever see him here for one thing. To look for a guy named Mitya.
02:43Supposedly a researcher, though he never seems to put much time in at the office.
02:48The theater is one of his favorite places to hang out when he's playing hooky from work.
02:52But that's not for us to worry about. Let's go. The show's about to start.
03:05What do you think? Pretty impressive, huh?
03:15Oh, the one in Fontaine? I hear it's iconic. Never seen it for myself, though.
03:23Here we are. Just in time. Sorry. Coming through.
03:36If you're gonna show up late, keep your mouth shut.
03:40What's his problem?
03:42Whatever. No point arguing with people like that.
03:45Look, there she is. That's who I'm introducing you to later.
03:49She's the lead singer of the troupe.
03:51Poryanitsa.
04:18Poryanitsa.
04:46Sous-titrage MFP.
04:49Sous-titrage MFP.
05:46Sous-titrage MFP.
06:15Sous-titrage MFP.
06:18Sous-titrage MFP.
07:00Sous-titrage MFP.
07:03Oh, what's the big deal? Come on, don't be shy. I can give you an autograph. You can take a
07:09picture too if you want.
07:39Do as you please.
07:40Sous-titrage MFP.
08:10You told me last night that you wanted to get intel from the Rokot. Unfortunately, Rokot intel is only available
08:17to members.
08:18But ever since you set foot in Snezhnaya, we've been working together. I've seen the way you work, your character,
08:25and your motives.
08:26Everything about you is perfectly in alignment with what we're trying to do. So I figured I might as well
08:33cut to the chase. I wrote a letter to the president explaining your situation, including just the right amount of
08:39detail. His approval came very quickly. Of course, it's still your decision whether you want to join or not. We'll
08:46respect your choice.
08:51Well, assuming Odette was telling the truth and she didn't misjudge you, I guess we don't need to worry about
08:57you blowing our cover.
08:58Still, you gave me a real fright. I didn't know that's why you came looking for me.
09:05Hmm. So that stuff you said about admiring my performance. Was that just because Odette was here? Did you actually
09:16mean it?
09:20Now you're talking. That's what I like to hear.
09:23Anyway, let me give you a quick rundown of how things work.
09:27Like I said, the Rokot is a covert organization, and we hide our identities.
09:33Members typically don't meet in person or even know each other's identities.
09:37This helps us maintain a high level of independence and secrecy.
09:40Because of this, members are basically free to decide their methods without constraints, so long as the outcome of any
09:47activity doesn't violate the organization's principles.
09:50After all, we don't have any ostensible contact with each other.
09:54This way, if anything goes wrong, no one else will be implicated.
09:59Beyond the freedom to choose how you operate, it's also your choice whether to act at all.
10:04We have plenty of members who have yet to take any action.
10:07In short, joining the Rokot in and of itself won't place any restrictions on your activity in Snezhnaya.
10:14There's a code of conduct you can read if it interests you.
10:17But basically, as long as you don't plan on using your anonymity to go around doing evil, you'll be fine.
10:24I tried reading it five or six times. Never made it all the way through.
10:29Even the most lackluster script makes for more interesting reading.
10:34Great. Then I'll go grab an official application form. Be right back.
10:51Well, Alosha has this pet dog you see. His name's Tagarin. And this one time, Alosha brought him backstage.
11:00Tagarin took quite a liking to me, so I played with him for a little bit and fed him some
11:05treats.
11:06Then, the Rokot was out on a mission one day. And even though we were all in disguise, Tagarin recognized
11:12me right away.
11:14Just a coincidence, really. We didn't report it to the higher-ups, though, to avoid dealing with the fallout.
11:22Like, my job at the theater, for instance. I really needed to make ends meet.
11:27By the way, what were you complaining about just before we came in? Did everything go okay with Chugunov?
11:34Hmph. Everything did not go okay. That's why I was so mad.
11:39I tried to make some small talk with him before I went on stage to fish for Intel about the
11:44Eastgram manufacturing plant.
11:46But he wouldn't take the bait. No matter what I said, he kept dodging the question.
11:53And then, he started complaining. He said he didn't appreciate his second-rate seat in the stalls because he usually
12:01gets a private box.
12:03I mean, what did he expect? Everyone knows that if you want a box seat, you buy a ticket well
12:09in advance.
12:10But instead, he sends me a letter the day before the show, when we're practically sold out!
12:16What? I had to juggle things around just to get him a half-decent seat, hoping he would appreciate the
12:22gesture enough to share some information.
12:25But nope. He didn't give me anything.
12:29Ugh. Yeah, meeting Chugunov in person has definitely been a disappointing experience.
12:34Oh. You probably don't know who we're talking about, do you?
12:39Chugunov was that older guy you were sitting next to today.
12:42I'm sure he didn't make a great first impression on you, either.
12:47To the citizenry, he's a family man and a kind boss.
12:51But our interactions with him tell a very different story.
12:56It's one thing to ask for a favor, but he acts like it's his right.
13:00He always expects special treatment.
13:03Take the ticket situation, for instance.
13:05I've actually gotten him a private box in the past.
13:08But not only was he not even grateful, now he's acting like I've sold him short this time!
13:17Not to mention that he's never paid for a single one of his tickets!
13:23Hmph!
13:25And another thing!
13:27If he's such a big family man, why doesn't he bring his wife and daughter to see the show once
13:32in a while?
13:33I've never seen them here. Not even once!
13:37Calm down, Vodianitsa.
13:39If you won't do it the easy way, we'll have to try the hard way.
13:42But first things first.
13:44Here's your application form.
13:46Go ahead and fill it out.
14:16Go ahead and fill it out.
14:17Go ahead and fill it out.
14:34Uh...
14:36Hmm...
14:36Looks like I'll need to make a few little tweaks here and there.
14:40But other than that, you're good to go.
14:43We'll hold on to this for you.
14:44All right. Now that we're officially Rokak comrades, I can tell you.
14:51Chukunov is the target of our current operation.
14:54Recently, we've done some recon work at the Ysqra Manufacturing Plant,
14:59which pretty much confirmed that their energy consumption is way beyond the legal limit.
15:04All we need now is some direct evidence to present to the Vecca, so we can demand that they shut
15:10the plant down.
15:12That way, the Kresnik Kristal can be allocated to where it's needed most.
15:16I was hoping he might let slip during one of our chats, but he's too tight-lipped.
15:22We'll have to find another way.
15:24I'm meeting another regular theater-goer tonight.
15:28Mitya.
15:32But Valeri's here too, and he's probably looking for Mitya, so he may end up being a no-show.
15:40Don't you worry. He must know how to dodge Valeri, or he wouldn't be showing up on time for every
15:46performance.
15:47Mitya is a renowned energy expert.
15:50Although we can't get any direct evidence of the excessive energy consumption at the plant,
15:56we can accidentally let the information slip to him.
16:00The authorities should take someone like him seriously.
16:05So if he starts raising questions about energy use at the Iskra manufacturing plant,
16:09there will be a proper investigation.
16:12Also, we're not allowed on site, but he has clearance.
16:17So all we need is his cooperation.
16:24Yeah, so that's the other thing we're trying to figure out.
16:28Though I think we're far less likely to make any progress on that front.
16:32Still, I hear that Mitya is a bit of a chatterbox.
16:36So, who knows?
16:38Maybe if we catch him in the right mood, he'll let something slip.
16:42What do you think?
16:44Sound like something worth your time?
16:49Okay.
16:49In that case, you guys find a seat somewhere nearby.
16:53Pretend you're a couple of buddies there to eat,
16:55and keep your ears peeled for useful information.
16:59He's a huge fan, so I don't know how his guard up around me.
17:03But you two need to be convincing.
17:06If he suspects anything at all, he might stop talking.
17:10Sure.
17:11Don't worry.
17:12We'll make a believable pair of buddies.
17:18Perfect!
17:19You've sold me already.
17:21Now, help me tidy this room up a bit before we head out.
17:24Okay.
17:26What needs tidying?
17:30Everything!
17:32Everything!
