Finally, it's time to take control of the mysterious Q-Team. I'm predicting based on what little I've seen of them that Mira will be in favor of screwing over D-Team and Eric will be the one pressuring Q to follow C-Team's plan.

Quantum Computer Room, Pod Room, Biolab...I missed the early ones. Eric says there should be another room...Eric's the one distrustful of Q still. Maybe I had them pegged wrong. Back to the Lounge. "Let's inhibit the virus!" Q asks what we'll do about the vote, and Eric says he doesn't know. Q says they have to vote, or else they'll die, and Mira agrees, pointing out that even if neither other team votes for them, their failure would give them two votes against. Mira doesn't believe that this game is real at all. Eric wants Q to take off the helmet, but Q says he can't. Heh, a keypad. That's the only way to get the helmet off. He doesn't know who he is. The game wouldn't be complete without an amnesiac, would it? Q asks about Zero, and Eric gets angry at him, still insisting that Q is the one who knows everything. They conclude that Zero is a psychopath, possibly the "Heart Ripper" that's been in the news. The amnesiac suddenly remembers a headline. March 15, 2026, a woman named Virginia Bailey, age 28, was found in a park in Roseville, her chest ripped open and her heart removed. Again on May 22, of that year, Jeffrey Foret, age 37, found in a trash can in Sacramento. July 29...Eric interrupts and points out that Q is supposedly amnesiac. Next is the question of where we are. Eric gets mad again, pointing out what Zero said, but Q asks where exactly that bomb shelter is. Eric's not sure, but Mira doubts it's far from Dcom, and expands the acronym to Dwelling for the Cohabitation of Mars. The eight of them lived there for five days, along with Gab, who is an old dog. They were testing primarily for psychological data. Mira says she signed up because she thought it sounded like fun, and Eric says he joined up because Mira wanted to. Leading into the final question: what is the relationship between those two. Eric is apparently very tsundere. And now we get the experimentation with the Force Quit Box...which Q is shaking as if it were a simple Christmas present! So that little kid can easily lift something that Sigma couldn't budge. Granted, Sigma has his real arms still, but that's pretty odd. Eric says Q should go through the vent, and he says he can't, but Eric forces him to try. Unsurprisingly, the helmet stops him quickly. Eric is ready to just go for it, but Q realizes the message hasn't made it to D-Team yet. He says he'll get a pen and some cheese...again with the cheese? And they send Gab through a vent in the Prep Room. Mira wonders if Diana will do what the letter says, but she doesn't want to consider the alternative--that it was a trap all along, and they need Diana to do the opposite of what the letter says. Ah, hell, I'm probably going down the best early path. Having everyone do what they said they did would be most likely the path to the good ending, and I know from 999 where I accidentally stumbled upon the Coffin Ending on my first try that going to the best ending right away is usually a bad idea. ...Even though technically, I already got my first ending, because this game is literally set up so that you have a 50% chance of getting an ending as soon as you're first given control. In the end, I was right about which one would suggest voting against the note. Though Mira then points out that regardless of how they voted, if C-Team betrayed them, they need Diana to flip or they're screwed anyway.

...Holy crap, five new fragments for C-Team? 5 for D as well, and 4 for Q. Well, I was planning to go back to C-Team...and let's go with the one on the top. It appears to depict Akane holding a chainsaw, and I'm curious about that.
