Chapter 2: Infiltration Mission

Previous
Infiltration Mission is the second chapter in P6EoR. It begins after completing Chapter 1.

Summary
Ching-Chong has gotten Fridge to join his party, and his time in suspension. Once Charles hears of the news, he is upset and disappointed, yet doesn't blame Ching-Chong too much so to not bring him more annoyance. Fridge's camouflage system (MJSCS) allows him to store himself inside of the Television in the bedroom. They both begin devising a plan to seek revenge on James for his crimes, and to topple his reign. After some studying of his persona, Hades, they determine that Orpheus Agi skills will probably be useful, but they cannot exact this plan until later.

They decide to go to town to prepare, which involves eavesdropping on some skivers. Fridge takes the form of a similar looking boy to Ching-Chong but with enough differences. They overhear the KFC Krew talk about a hidden room in the Imports Shop that sells weapons and armour, but cannot be accessed by regular means. This leads to the duo trying to figure out exactly how to access the room to assist them in not only getting revenge, but also in whatever their overall mission is. Try as they might, they cannot find any way in which this could happen.

The next day, you can decide whether to try to seek out more information, or stay at home for the day. You can chose either, but if the player neglects seeking more information, they will be forced to on Wednesday 9th September. During this time, you can start a social link with the Roadman Guild while playing Innocent Sin Online.

NOTE: Do social links as soon as possible after they are available as they will be more difficult to do later.

While searching town again for more information, you run into Persephone at the Library. You can ask her about what happened to your phone and her relationship with James. She doesn't reveal much, except for that she fears leaving the relationship with James due to his abusive nature, and that your phone is probably in the hands of Dan.

Ching-Chong and Fridge wait till 4pm to recover the phone from Dan. Both him and Barry are spotted in town, so the duo run over to them to get the phone back. During this, they accidentally slip up and reveal what Persephone said about James, which causes Barry to run off to inform James. You then battle Dan, who has not yet awakened to a Persona. After you defeat him in battle, he concedes defeat and returns your phone before running off. You try to enter Miss Pallets number in the phone to ring her, but get sent to voicemail. Persephone, who viewed the fight from just outside the Library, comes over and enters her number in Ching-Chong's phone so she can give him information on the group James, Barry, Dan, and technically herself are in; 'The Boys.' This also begins a social link.

You explore the phone to see if anything changed. It looks like they unfortunately did access the phone, but it still is in tact, along with all the pirated J-Pop. Persephone finds a pass that Dan dropped whilst fleeing the scene. She gives it to you and decides to return to her studying. The pass conveniently appears to grant access to the weapon and armour room at the Import Shop. The duo decide to see if the pass works, and luckily it does. You figure out that its the place The Boys get their knives and stabproof vests. Regardless of what you buy, Ching-Chong's strike attack weapon now becomes a katana. Any side quests or social links can be progressed during this time.

On September 14th, he returns to school, along with Fridge, who's AI is now in the phone temporarily. The school pupils make fun of Ching-Chong, but he doesn't care too much. The only objective now is to do battle with James. During break, you find him in the toilets, just like how he found you off guard earlier in the game. Fridge decides to materialise, and James laughs at you both before a battle ensues. He mainly uses physical and Mudo. After you beat him, he realises your strength and cowers in fear. You decide to let him off, and he runs away scared. When you talk to Persephone after school, she says that everything went just fine, but James was adamant to not disband The Boys. She then told him she was leaving, causing him to vow revenge before braking up with her.

When you get home, Charles asks how your day back was, and whether anything happened with James, to which Ching-Chong responds that he was dealt with, and that he forgot to tell him that you recovered your phone. He also marks his number in the phone.

When you go to bed, Charles leaves for a business meeting. You can leave and go to experience the night life around Birmingham, but it may inflict you with ''Tired. ''

Ching-Chong tells Fridge about the tickets that he found in his bag. The tickets are for an event beginning on Saturday 19th, called 'Polecon'. Until then, live an honest school life.

The night before, Ching-Chong has a nightmare featuring a mysterious man with a familiar voice. The man is Nyarlathotep, who tells him of his plans. In the same dream, Nyarlathotep tries to torment him with a strange dream version of Rise Kujikawa, who says she is his mother. They then laugh at him until he awakes.

When the day comes about, the two go to the event. They see the band 'Gas Chamber' playing on stage before they are dragged by a mysterious figure into the public toilet. The figure reveals himself to be Inspector Goole. He joins your party and tells you that the place is hiding secrets regarding Nyarlathotep. It appears that climbing the floors to the summit will allow them to defeat the evil Nyarlathotep, but they cannot advance upwards without a key. They then search the basement to see if they can find any clues or the key. After fighting some shadows and the shadow guards, they get the key and return to the ground floor; however, Nyarlathotep is alerted to their presence, and thus sends some shadows after them. They get to the lobby, and see Barry and Dan there. Nyarlathotep posesses the two, turning them into unholy demons.

They battle them, but they prove to be very difficult. They seem to be cornered, but then a car runs over the demons, killing them instantly as they were weakened. The driver is Maya, who see's Nyarlathotep and they have a quick verbal fight, before he retreats, knowing her power. She joins the group before taking them to the apartment she is renting. Then she joins your party and you stay for the night.
