When	Sunday, December 21, 2059 (Day 3)
Where	SCIRE, Level 21‌, Hydroponic Garden

Fräulein Ärtzin stays with KANZAKI Kazuki and the other rescued survivors in an office unit on Level 25‌, while Garbo, Liam, and Shirayuri surveyed the hydroponics level. Based on the presumed vision capabilities of the drones and the temperature anticipated in and around the greenhouses, they decide golden hour is around dusk — there will still be enough light for them to see normally, and the drones should have no particular advantage.

At one of the climate-controlled entrances, Shirayuri attempts to remove the maglock's access panel and discovers it has already been removed once before: the screws are in place, but they've been cut short on the inside and the whole thing was fit back in place with stickytack. Inside the panel, the wires that she would typically sever to release the lock have been retrofitted with a snaplock fitting, allowing them to be easily disconnected. They realize somebody has already been here.

As they round the corner of a greenhouse, somebody projects a laser-pointer like image on Garbo's chest — a stop sign. The team takes a few moments to decide what to do, and eventually decides to obey. A few minutes later, it blinks three times then shuts off.

The team is able to figure out which direction the symbol likely came from, and sneak in that direction. After passing another green house, they hear somebody moving in the hydroponic orchard in the center and spot some in one of the utility sheds further ahead. A voice from the shed demands they identify themselves, and Garbo claims they group is "Survivors, like you." The voice orders them to gather around a home security camera perched on top of a nearby greenhouse and says "Glasses off, say Cheese." The laser pointer reappears, this time with an arrow pointing upwards and the word "Here".

Deciding the team is clean, the other group invites them into the utility shed for introductions and to talk:

• SANKAI Ikito is the person who was attempting to counter-stalk them in the trees; he's a heavily cybered man (both arms, torso, and one leg) in a tattered suit with clear mid-level Renraku executive markings. Throughout the conversation, he speaks nothing but Japanese, much to Liam's chagrin.
• URUSAI Mimi is a Japanese teenager, with a hearing impairment by set of cat-ear headphones she uses to hear. She's the one who built and operated the laser projector, a scratchbuilt device built into and around the housing of a large flashlight.
• YASUDA Keirin is the third member of their group, a tall half-Japanese teenager (from her build, Liam suspects she's a human-looking ork) who the team recognizes as the barista who worked the snack booth near thier photography setup.
