Two men had met up, to converse about an aspect of the Preispodnyaya Mission.

"We need to talk. The truth must come out."

"What? What truth?"

"That information, how did you get it?"

The other man sighed, placing a couple fingers to his temple.

"Why is that so damn important? What matters is that I provided that information, nothing more."

"But that's the thing, you obtained information that just wasn't possible to obtain."

"Through legal means." He finished the other man's sentence.

"...what?"

As the man in the black suit looked shocked, the one in the black coat smiled. It was a very cold-looking smile, one that looked like it was detached from the rest of his face's expression.

"Fine, I admit it. I used an information network."

"An information network?"

"Yes. I paid an information broker to give me that useful piece of data. And I don't regret it. I will do whatever is necessary to prevent corruption from existing in the league. I mean, sure, I had only intended to use them once, but now... I will not hold back, not after the chains bounding me have been broken by the very thing I wished to destroy. None of my strategies could have predicted that happening!"

"Strategies? As in, more than one?"

"Yes! My strategy skills are in fact quite strong, even stronger than my racing capabilities, though I hardly call myself the best racer. Honestly, though, with my ability to think multiple steps ahead and plan a course of action, I could play a strong game of chess... that is, if I had any interest in the game in the first place."

"So, this strategy... did it start with the F12000?"

"Hahahaha!" He laughed, before adopting a very serious expression on his face. "Whatever gave you that idea?"

The other man shivered. "Woah, you're giving off some legitimately scary vibes now."

The man explained, "See, the F12000 strategy is just a small part of a grander plan, it's a smaller strategy inside a larger one, a... 'matryoshka' strategy, if you will. The larger, grander strategy, however? That started more than a decade ago, back when we just made cars. My strategy... started with Katana, with the conception of the Angelus Project."
