"From break and ruin, the most beautiful performance begins."
- The Silent Orchestra
The Silent Orchestra (T-01-31) is an Abnormality in the form of a group of white humanoids, with parts of them composed by musical notation such as eighth notes and various clefs. The conductor, which is the only one in the containment room, is similar to a limbless mannequin. It is held up by a pole stabilized by a base, is dressed like the conductor of an Orchestra, and has eighth note patterns on its head. It possesses hands, however they only appear when performing its Ability and in its Encyclopedia Picture. The Silent Orchestra in itself is actually the entire ensemble, and the other members of The Silent Orchestra only appear when the conductor is performing its ability during an escape.
Ability
Silent Orchestra's ability will trigger when its Qliphoth Counter reach 0. When it gets a Good or Bad result, it will decrease its counter by 1. When its counter is depleted, it will start its breach and curtains will cover their Containment Unit after a period of time and then a second pair of curtains will cover the screen of the player for a short amount of time. When the curtains are opened, The Silent Orchestra's conductor will have warped to the Main Room of its Department to perform a song. It will reveal two hands, one holding a baton, and begin to conduct the accompanying ensemble.
The entity possess 2000 HP and the Symphony is composed by 4 movements and a Finale. As the song progress, notes will start to expand and more of the symphony's parts will appear seated near the conductor. The Silent Orchestra's defenses will vary during the movements, changing the melodies, gaining immunity to all Type of Damage except one, and dealing high White Damage (30-40) to the nearby employees, increasing the area of effect as it progress. The further the employee is from the Silent Orchestra's first ring, the less damage they will take in its area of effect. For Example someone inside of the 1st ring will take the full damage, but someone standing in the elevator inside the 3rd ring will take ~0.33 (1/3) of the damage. During breach, the player can't change the speed of the game and only the pause feature works. These are the vulnerabilities during the mentioned movements, while being immune to the other damages:
- During the beginning and first movement, it will be vulnerable to Pale Damage. The damage area is limited to the room.
- During the second movement, it will be vulnerable to Black Damage. The damage area is extended to the nearby rooms and hallways.
- During the third movement, it will be vulnerable to White Damage. The minimum and maximum damage will be increased by +10 White Damage. The high pitch noise in this movement may bother the player.
- During the fourth movement, it will be vulnerable to Red Damage. The damage area is expanded to the whole department.
- During the Finale, The Silent Orchestra is immune to All Damage.
For each of the first 4 movements, at the start of each one, a performer will appear. In the Finale, the entire band rises in a stand and when about to end the song, the notes will expand quickly with a loud sound and all the employees under half of their Max SP will die, with their heads exploding. At the end of the symphony, The Silent Orchestra will return to it's containment room with the sound of applause in the background. Also at the beginning of fourth movement all Energy which was gathered during the day will be depleted.

"A scythe that swings silently and with discipline like a conductor's gestures and baton. If there were a score for this song, it would be one that sings of the apocalypse. The wielder of this E.G.O is able to indulge in the music of silence that no one else can hear. However, it may be wise to leave some audience alive to applaud at the end." |

Story
"An abnormality that loves art and tries to get the entire company to listen to its music.
<Excerpt from an Encyclopedia>
The conductor not only corrects musical errors, but is also responsible for creating the best ensemble and taking command of the music. A conductor's skill can be determined within 5 minutes at the podium. The moment the conductor opens the score, the performers read the conductor's eyes, actions, and aura to see if the person is worthy to lead them. Without the understanding and harmony between them, the macroscopic significance contained in the score cannot be expressed. Therefore, an outstanding degree of influence, leadership, and eloquence are essential qualities for a conductor to have...(Omitted)"
"<1st Movement: Calm and Slow>
The conductor begins to direct the apocalypse."
"<Movements 2 through 4: Cheerful and Fast>
Employees start to forget everything and show fervent adoration toward the symphony. The emotion soon turns into internal insanity, driving them to attack anyone near them. The orchestra gives impetus to the music, bringing the entire department to its demise. When all the performers have gathered, the music that no one can hear but everyone can listen to begins."
"<Finale>
The music shall perforate your entire being."
