Coyote Ragtime Show (コヨーテ ラグタイムショー)

Today, at 21:58 hours Geteldoba Standard Time,

the Federation Government organized a press conference.

They announced that, in order to eliminate the resistance on Graceland,

Please enjoy your meal.

they are going to drop high-yield explosives to destroy them.

According to the Bard Treaty, the usage of high-yield explosives is prohibited.

Thus, the number of complaints is rising incrementally.

Investigator!

Investigator Angelica!

I've been waiting for you!

Are you from the Sandvil Police Department?

Yes, I'm Chelsea.

Chelsea Muir.

I'm Angelica Barns.

Is this your first time in Sandvil?

Yes.

Why is an investigator from the Federation Bureau voluntarily coming down to such a remote planet?

Well, I have some minor business to attend to.

Minor business...

Just minor business.

Ah, that's an insect ward.

Insect ward?

Yes. The pioneering history of this place, Planet Sandvil...

One might say the pioneering history centers on the fight against insects.

Th-Those aren't the only problems.

However, in GC1837, people discovered that the vision of the insects had deteriorated,

and they move solely based on hearing...

Once the sound that the insects hated was emitted...

Currently, they are one of the attractions of this planet.

I see.

Er... Eye... Eye Mark for Entry...

Note: Chelsea reads (Mokuteki) as the individual Kanji pronunciation, (Me) (Teki). "Mokuteki" means "purpose" while breaking it up to "Me Teki" means "eye mark" which is gibberish.

Purpose.

Ah! Purpose, purpose!

Investigator Angelica.

Welcome to Sandvil Prison.

I'm the warden, Frank Dustan.

Hello.

By the way, what business do you have today?

May I check the contents of your suitcases?

Wow...

This is...

Investigator, what were you thinking?!

The Federation Government...

The President...

A permit...

Who the hell is that woman?

Well, she is Investigator Angelica Barns from the Federation Bureau...

I know that!

I don't know anything else either!

The higher-ups just instructed me to be polite and bring her here.

Seeing those documents, I don't think she's merely a normal Federation Bureau investigator.

Here, here, here!

I got it!

Most likely, she is on some secret mission.

Secret? What kind?

That is, err... probably...

...a secret!

Have you finished your business?

Please provide me with assistance.

You are permitted to bring in weapons, have unlimited access to all the computers,

and you printed out all the personal information of the inmates.

What else do you need other than the above?

There is a man that I'm looking for.

A man?

An inmate in my prison?

No, I'm not sure about that yet.

Huh?

John Smith, Frederick Gondorff, Ray Mosukin...

Have you heard of them?

Nope.

Here! John Smith!

In GC2030, during a transaction on Planet Gidan of the Geteldoba Star System,

he preempted the police by himself and raided the area.

He escaped and took the proceeds from the Criminal Guild, which is valued to be worth a few hundred thousand Space dollars.

You're right.

I'm quite confident in my memory...

And so?

If he's a wanted criminal, you should've gone to a police station instead of a prison to investigate!

It's an alias.

Huh?

Besides those, he is also called Richard Phillips, Jonathan Chris, Steven Former...

His aliases are as plentiful as the stars, but they are all a single man.

He's commonly known as Mister.

Mister?

That is the name the Coyotes call him to show their respect.

Last night, I received an anonymous call.

It said that Mister will appear at the Sandvil Prison.

I've been chasing after Mister for four years.

However, within this past year, I couldn't find any trace of him.

Couldn't it just be a prank? Do you have any concrete proof?

My intuition.

Woman's institution, huh?

Ah, sexual discrimination!

Shut up!

If you are unhappy, feel free to contact the President, a gender feminist, or your colleagues! I am...

Hello?

We are the Red Desert Liberation Movement.

We've placed ten bombs inside your prison.

Viva la Revolution.

Did you hear that? I have been the warden of this place for eight years, eight years!

Day after day, all the fools make these types of anonymous calls. It's been going on for eight years!

You should not be fooled by this kind of baseless information as well...

There's a fire in block four! It's spreading to block six!

Send out the fire extinguishing squad! Seal up the nuclear weapons from D7 to 14!

This is jail cell eight.

I don't understand it! What is causing the explosions?

Let's get the guards to escort the inmates out.

The staff who are free can help put out the fire.

Chelsea, contact the Sandvil Police bomb disposal team.

Ah, yes.

This is Officer Chelsea Muir from the 1st Investigation Squadron of the S.P.D.

My ID number is 200...

Why did this happen...

No.

This is just beginning.

Hurry up! Everyone gather at the courtyard!

What's going on?!

This way!

Welcome, I've been waiting.

I'm the warden, Dustan.

I'm the Captain of the bomb disposal team, Joey.

The situation?

We received a call from a terrorist who claimed that bombs have been placed inside the prison.

I see. How's the evacuation?

About 70% done.

The process for block four is going especially slow.

With the guards plus the inmates, there are still around 300 people still inside.

Casualty count?

There are four injured, but we have yet to discover any deaths.

Good, leave the rest to the pros.

I'll leave it in your hands then.

Leave the rest to the pros.

Chelsea!

Yes ma'am?

Where is the car we came in?

It's parked, over there.

Bring me there.

Yes ma'am!

Divide into three groups.

Andy and Black will go to block three.

Mark, Jodie, and Eric's areas will be blocks five and six.

Leave four to me.

Dismissed...

It was below the rear seat!

This was the thing that triggered the checker!

What do you mean?

There's a possibility that they made use of my permit to carry in weapons to smuggle the bombs into the prison.

The culprit is the man that was blowing bubbles while driving.

His aim is probably to make us believe that terrorists are trying to make a stand.

The anonymous call was probably made by the same man.

Please wait a moment...

There should be one of his allies that has blended in with the bomb disposal squad which came earlier.

They are making use of this confusion to do something.

Wait, how do you know all this?

It's the same technique that person used on Planet Carnival.

That person?

Mister.

I should have realized it earlier, but I can still make it this time!

Everyone that is inside the prison, listen to me!

Including the bomb disposal squad!

All staff, guards, inmates, casualties, baggage, animals, plants...

There shall be no exceptions!

Everything is prohibited from leaving!

Th-That means...

The prison is going to be sealed.

Are you kidding me?!

Why are you locking us up in a garbage dump like this?

Stay here until we catch the culprit behind the bombs. Please bear with it.

Who would do that?

We have human rights too!

Get me a lawyer!

Does anyone else have a request?

Angelica!

The treatment of the injured has finished.

All were lightly wounded. No one is in critical condition.

The fire extinguishing is nearly completed as well.
