As the owner of the Luxury Resort, Akiho had encountered Interference Waves repeatedly over the past few months. She must have been deeply troubled too, and wanted the problem resolved as soon as possible more than anyone.
While he waited, Shen Qi temporarily settled down and checked the Emotional Script he had just discovered.
[Emotional Script: "The End of the Android"]
"That name sounds pretty sci-fi..."
"Android" referred to a product of highly developed artificial intelligence: a mechanical life-form capable of navigating social relationships as naturally as humans, often associated with the notion of an "android crisis."
For example, artificial intelligence or robots might develop self-awareness and want to become the rulers of the world.

None of the previous difficulty indicators had ever had this.
Only when Chansey mutated had a circled exclamation mark appeared after the "Physical health index." Clicking it brought up an explanation about laser rays causing bodily mutations and so on...
