The Clockwork Flower Pavilion Revealed (Node 1-4)

With the Sentinels defeated, Kotama successfully stabilizes the Whispering Page. Her analysis reveals that the page is not merely corrupted data, but a fragment of a much larger, highly complex, and self-sustaining data construct. She identifies its origin point as a previously unknown, hidden section of the Millennium Science School's central server farm, which she dubs "The Clockwork Flower Pavilion." This area seems to be a nexus of anomalous activity.

• Location: Millennium Science School - Central Server Farm - The Clockwork Flower Pavilion (accessible via Node 1-4 on the chapter map).
• Objective: Infiltrate The Clockwork Flower Pavilion and confront the source of the anomaly.
• Navigation: This node involves navigating a small maze-like section of the server farm. There are no combat encounters in this specific sub-section, but environmental hazards are present.
  • Laser Grids: Three sections of the path are blocked by pulsing laser grids. You must time your movement to pass through them when they briefly deactivate. A mistimed movement will result in minor damage to your students (no KO, but reduces HP slightly) and a brief stun, forcing you to retry the section.
  • Ventilation Shafts: One section requires you to use a ventilation shaft to bypass a locked door. Interact with the "Access Panel" next to the shaft to open it.
• Key Discovery: Upon reaching the heart of The Clockwork Flower Pavilion, you discover a massive, intricate data construct resembling a mechanical flower, constantly shifting and reconfiguring itself. This is the primary source of the anomalies.
• Cutscene Trigger: A cutscene plays, showing the Clockwork Flower Pavilion radiating immense energy. Yuuka and Noa are astonished by its complexity, realizing the scale of the threat.
