Letting his researcher side just take over Jude keeps asking all the questions, specifically why and how the Alt Worlds are created, and Bisley only says it's due to one of the Three, the Prime Spirit of Time Chronos, and is connected to Kresnik's mission, and that's it. He returns to Ludger with his hand held out, saying it's well worth it to accept before adding that having access to the company's information on the Alt Worlds will help in the search for his brother, as he's certain that Julius is hiding out in one.

Ludger raises his hand up, and choice:

=>...Alright, I'll do it.
=>[I have no idea what so that makes my choice clear here]

They shake, and Bisley attaches a chip to Ludger's collar that grants him access to all areas of the HQ, information from field Agents and all that jazz, then tells us to meet him in the building basement, in the Agent training area.

Sorry old fart, but you'll have to wait while I explore all 4 of 40 floors that I can. I get some treasures and a lot of Julius and Redou fangirls raging at each other for my trouble and time.

So I go down, and Bisley shows Ludger how to control the Corpse Shell mode at will during battle! A gauge shows up at the bottom of the screen opposite the Link Artes/Overlimt bar, and simply you have until it runs out to be in a pseudo Alt World with only Ludger and enemies, AC, TP, HP is all ignored, Ludger has set Artes for each direction + button combo like a fighter game, and it is basically "do massive amounts of damage while you can". Like Vesperia's overlimt where there are different levels, we are at 1 right now.

I'M LOVING THIS SHIT.

Elle is actually kind of terrified of Ludger in that form, though, and we see her peeking around some cargo boxes once the tutorial battle is done. Bisley says he expects good work from us, and goes on his way.

Chapter 6 end!
