1. [Roger wasn't present at Unity Group much for the past few days... But now he suddenly reappears, looking like a man who's been very busy with something important lately. Without a word, he throws a picture on a desk - a low-quality photograph, showing a Megadeus skulking in the shadows, between two buildings. What little can be seen of the robot is covered in bandages.]
It's how I suspected. He's back. Schwarzwald is alive.
2. [this happens shortly before the mission, and is locked to ??? only]
[Roger received a tip from Angel about Schwarzwald's whereabouts - it's surprising the woman knew about all this, but she's always been a mysterious lady. The negotiator arrives at the scene, which turns out to be a big, fancy party at the top floor of one of Paradigm's most luxurious buildings. Everyone is wearing masks, and Roger also receives one - but while the crowd engages in debauchery, most of them completely drunk, he stays away from the party and looks around. There is a reason he came here.]

Descending from one of the vines that serve as decoration, Schwarzwald appears - his burned bandaged body covered by a jester's outfit, and a mask.
"Welcome, oh dog of Paradigm."

Is this your victory party? A bit premature, don't you think?

Schwarzwald gestures, his arm sweeping widely as he shows the drunken crowd all around him.
"This is reality. The corrupt city that you are trying to protect."

...It's big at least. How well can you guess what a megadeus does just by looking at it? Would bandages even be a useful disguise?

[Roger pulls out a piece of paper - a very generous severance check for Schwarzwald, from Paradigm Corp. He hands it over to the mummy.]
You know what this is, I'm sure.

"This is my answer. This corrupt city will burn. Its domes are ineffectual, useless - people need to become aware! Experience themselves what has happened 40 years ago."
Mid-speech, the guests' masks suddenly burst into flames as well! Screams of agony can be heard through the room as they try to pry them off and run away.

[Seeing this happen, Roger quickly rips off his own mask! And then, among the pandemonium, he tries to pounce at the mummy man!]
Schwarzwald...!

Unfortunately Schwartzwald leaps back and away - through a window in fact. This is not a panicked attempt at fleeing, he had this escape planned all along!

[Roger keeps pursuing, though his way down is a bit longer for obvious reasons. He raises his watch/communicator.]
Norman, call an ambulance to my location. No, call several. And let Unity Group know Schwarzwald made his move.
I'm going after him.

All I know is that they're remnants of the world before Paradigm lost its memories. And that they seem to have minds of their own.

I'm sure Schwarzwald realized this as well.
