AI: The Somnium Files Wiki
Story

PSYNCIN' IN THE SWaiN is a dreamworld featured in AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES based on the Okiura Fishery Cold Storage Warehouse.

It is the tenth chapter and the fourth Somnium of Ota Route and Mizuki Route. It is a Somnium world created from Ota Matsushita's dream by Psync System. The Advanced Brain Investigation Squad investigated his Somnium to gain testimony on the kidnapping and attempted murder of So Sejima (mistaken for Iris Sagan).

History[]

Just after entering Somnium world, Aiba appeared in a cardboard box, pretending to be a stray animal, saying "As long as I have WiFi, I don't have anything else..." After Date refused to "adopt", Aiba investigated the environment of Somnium world, found that it was a Cold Storage Warehouse which proportions had been enlarged, and said that it was not a manga cafe or an otaku shop. The Bloody Polar Bear then activated the Ice-cutting Machine to try to kill Iris, just like they did in real life. Ota came quickly to shut it down, but in an exaggerated way. Ota pondered how to act next, and speculated that direct action would make him slip on the ice.

Ice removed.[]

The fierce battle between Ota and the Polar Bear.

Then, Aiba began into action, she managed to remove the ice from the ground with some dramatic moves, creating a safe path for Ota to move forward. Ota then rushed towards the polar bear and wrestled with it. However, Ota lost to the polar bear and was pushed to the ground. He shouted "Tesa! May the glory of victory be yours!"

Branch A: Shone the letter A on the shelf.[]

After hearing this sentence, Aiba thought that she needed to find some objects that could be associated with "A-set", and focused on the plates under the shelves. She checked out that the sign on the far right under the shelf on the right should say "A", and then breathe on it. As expected, the representative logo of A-set is displayed on it. At this time, the polar bear approached Ota and took out a small knife. The A-set logo glowed, leading Ota to crawl there. He ended up hitting the green shelf, causing a wooden box on it to drop to the ground.

Branch A: Started up the forklift.[]

After Ota moved under the shelf, Aiba and Date thought it was time to try to cheer him up, but at first he needs to get the items, so Aiba goes and activates the forklift behind the wooden box and lets it "Sortie." After Aiba read the lines to make it go, the forklift automatically started and sent the wooden box to Ota.

Branch A: Lit the fighting spirit.[]

With the words Aiba executes on Ota that brings him the will to fight, Ota instantly begins his counterattack. He grabbed the wooden box next to it and threw it at the polar bear, knocking him to the ground. However, just as Ota was about to run up to the polar bear, he was stunned when he saw the knife dropped on the ground—it was the flower-patterned kitchen knife he had given to his mother. Seeing this, the polar bear rushed over immediately, picked up a knife and stabbed Ota. Somnium ends here.

Branch B: Shone the letter A on the drum.[]

After hearing this sentence, Aiba thought that she needed to find some objects that could be associated with "A-set", and focused on the oil barrel on the left shelf. She pushed the huge oil drum from the shelf to the ground, and the marking "A-S3T ACETONE" on the oil drum appeared in view. As expected, A letter "A" on "A-S3T" turned into the representative logo of A-set. At this time, the polar bear approached Ota and took out a small knife. The A-set logo glowed, leading Ota to crawl there. He ended up hitting the red shelf, causing a remote control on it to drop to the ground.

Branch B: Turned on the power.[]

After Ota moved under the shelf, he said that he needed a plan to confront the polar bear. Aiba began the actions to turn the crane on. She found the power board and picked up an ice ball to hit the switch on it. In this way, the remote control used to manipulate the crane next to Ota can be operated.

Branch B: Encouraged Ota.[]

With the words Aiba executes on Ota that brings him the will to fight, Ota instantly begins his counterattack. He observed the nearby equipment structure, then picked up the remote control that had fallen nearby, and operated the crane to let its hook swing to the polar bear, injuring their left leg. However, just as Ota approached the polar bear and was about to lift his hood, Boss and Pewter shouted that Psync's time was approaching the limit, and refused Date's continued attempt to spy on the polar bear's true face. Meanwhile, the polar bear surprises Ota with a knife, knocking him down and stabbed him in the belly.
