	Fräulein decides to wake up Liam before the others to inform him of her discovery.

As they were discussing things, deepColour, Shirayuri, wake up and eventually Shirayuri chimes in about why Shinko was not eaten.

As they were discussing things, deepColour, Shirayuri, wake up and eventually Shirayuri chimes in about why Shinko was not eaten.

	Shinko the reveals that he's been awake for quite some time, and they could just ask. He explains that he has been held in a lab up in the 200s for the last eighteen months, since he was exposed to {{srw\|Human_Meta-Human_Vampiric_Virus#HMHVV_III\|Kreiger-strain HMHVV}} on the job. He does not think normal Renraku guys are in charge ; as a chauffeur and bodyguard for Renraku Johnsons, he was part of the security apparatus and their behavior doesn't match the Renraku playbook anymore.
