Her friends from the village Bella, Galina, Avrora, and Agata are all taken there with her. They are experimented on in order to perfect artificial stigmata for Schicksal's valkyries. One by one, each of the girls die from poor Honkai adaptability, and the lab personnel's terrible treatment of her and her friends traumatizes Sirin. Sirin survives due to her innate Honkai adaptability, and apparently, her ability to purify the Honkai in her blood (although she describes the pain caused by this process as excruciating). She is the lab's prime test subject, much to her appall. It is later revealed that the reason so many were dying of Honkai radiation in Sirin's village is because Babylon was infecting the villagers with Honkai in an attempt to find those with resistance. When the adults all died, they took in the children for further testing.

 * CE, >1200 hours, February 2, 2000 - Schicksal's opponent, Anti-Entropy, is notified of the massive Honkai output in Babylon labs. Dr. Einstein suggests it could be the awakening of the Second Herrscher, and that Schicksal must have already mobilized.

Babylon Labs

 * CE, 1152 hours, February 3, 2000 - Theresa arrives at Babylon Labs and convenes with Patricia, who had arrived earlier.

Babylon Labs

 * CE, February 4, 2000 - Sirin speaks to a Honkai insect about how she needs to recharge after spending so much energy in her fight with Highsmith.

This is also when Siegfried Kaslana, and A-Rank Valkyries Salome Jokanaan and Shub-Niggurath arrive, just in time to defeat the horde of Honkai beasts.

Nazagora

 * CE, 2014 - K-423 and Mei run through the crowds of people, K-423 with double pistols and Mei with a shotgun. They encounter a Honkai Beast and are unable to damage it with their guns, but Bronya Zaychik arrives in the nick of time and defeats it. After the three girls have a small bicker about who Mei likes the best, they rest in an abandoned apartment. Bronya sleeps on Mei's lap, making K-423 jealous, until Mei says she loves both girls, satisfying K-423. Zombies growl outside as K-423 declares she'd sacrifice herself for Mei, when their moment is interrupted by a Honkai Beast (a different one than before; to be identified) attacking their building. Bronya, having woken up at the disruption, summons Project Bunny, the tips of Project Bunny and the beast's weapons colliding. Bronya holds on until the beast uses a burst of force and pushes her through several buildings. Mei calls out Bronya's name, too distracted to see the beast about to strike from behind. K-423, making good on her earlier declaration, jumps between the beast and Mei, subsequently being slashed diagonally across the back. K-423 collapses against Mei, who falls to the ground and begins to scream. The beast goes to strike again but is blocked by a sphere of lightning. The Herrscher of Thunder emerges and explodes the beast.

The Hyperion arrives above the Herrscher, Himeko commenting on the normal appearance of the Herrscher, like a normal girl. She then orders the Hyperion's weapons to go all out on the Herrscher. The Herrscher sends out a blast of energy in retaliation, and although Himeko attempts to raise the shields, the blast gets through.

Schicksal Far East Branch Assembly Hall

 * CE, 2014 - The Far East Branch of Schicksal meets to discuss the current situation. The attendees squabble over each other and Theresa Apocalypse says 'She's finally here... A new Herrscher has appeared after a 14-year hiatus... It appears the end of the world is coming.'

Nazagora

 * The hit to the Hyperion reduced power generation by 40% and compromised external armor plating, forcing Himeko to take immediate action. She commands the crew to keep the Hyperion stable and bring them down to the Herrscher's altitude, so she can attack her head-on. She is then shown undressing. She then equips the Scarlet Fusion battlesuit, which is referred to as an exoskeleton for improving valkyrie combat capabilities, and faces the Herrscher. The Herrscher sends a beam of energy towards Himeko, but it is blocked by Himeko's blade and sent right back at her, presumably defeating the Herrscher in one hit.

Schicksal sends 42 squads (made up of 147 Valkyries total) including squads Snow Lotus, Sea Lion, and Astra to help. Most of the squad members die. This event is where Ana Schariac rescues Chen Tianwu, later known as Owl, from the rubble. Presumably, Tianwu had been living in Manila up to this point. Present day, the city is still uninhabitable due to high Honkai levels.
