BOOK 0: GUIDE TO THE GUIDE
Info about the guide itself, how it came to be, and how it might be useful.
0.1: INTRODUCTION
The Xenosaga Madness Project is dedicated to the assembly of a complete guide to the Japanese release of the Playstation 2 game Xenosaga: Episode I, for English speakers. The project was conceived by me(jetfuel) as a way to play the game early, to practice some Japanese before leaving to study in Tokyo, to avoid potentially bad English localization, and most of all to help Xeno fans around the world enjoy this fine game in a language more familiar to them than Japanese. In the weeks preceding the game's Japanese release, several other fans came out of the Xeno web woodwork to lend their talents, making the project very much a group effort; their names and contributions can be found in the credits section to follow.
Several members of the staff have expressed enthusiasm about continuing the Madness Project into further Xenosaga episodes. I, at least, plan to continue working on guides for each installment that comes out. Anyone else is welcome to contribute when the time comes.
In order to play, you'll need the game, of course, a Japanese PS2, and this guide. The game and PS2 can be bought at any number of game import shops on the net, or at a real shop in Japan, if you're lucky enough to actually live there. Go ahead and print this guide out, or have it up on your screen if your computer is close enough to your PS2.
For ideal enjoyment of the game, please put away all expectations and preconceptions. When faced with an unorthodox decision by the game staff, try to keep an open mind. Most of all, remember that this game has been put together by a large team of very hard-working people who have done their absolute best to bring you a fun game.
Credit should be given to CJayC, proprietor of GameFAQs, for providing the venue through which guides like this one can be distributed to the people who need them.
0.4: NOTES
Real-world background on the game itself and other miscellaneous info.
Xenosaga Episode I _Der Wille zur Macht / 力への意志 / The Will to Power_ The game was released in Japan on February 28, 2002, in both regular and Limited(LE) editions. The LE contains an art book, a Vector keychain, a binder, and a KOS-MOS figurine; both editions contain the game on a dual-layer DVD for the Sony Playstation 2. Monolith Soft, backed by Namco, has developed the game with a staff including of a number of members from the original Xenogears team.
There are some other Xenosaga guides up on GameFAQs. If there's something that's not yet addressed here, you might want to go check it out. If you are working on writing up some section of the game and you'd like to submit it to the Madness Project, feel free to do so; much of this guide came from readers coming aboard and writing their own sections. Also, a good amount of the dialogue translations that appear in this guide were donated by Henry Jerng, from his own guide, also available on GameFAQs. Check that out, too. The non-competitive atmosphere around here is so nice. *^_^*
0.5: GUIDE CONVENTIONS
Key info used throughout the guide.
This guide makes use of Japanese-formatted text so that you can compare English translations with their Japanese counterparts on the game screen. Viewing of these characters requires a Japanese OS, Japanese support installed in your regular OS, or a special third party application that allows you to read Japanese. MacOS 9 and X come with full Japanese support ready to install from the CD. On recent Windows releases it should be fairly easy to install Japanese support as well. If you're on Linux or something then you're probably smart enough to figure it out. Look around your OS's support sites for more info on this, or look around software download sites for third party Japanese language applications. If you haven't got Japanese support, those bits will simply look like garbled crap and you can ignore them.
Unless otherwise noted, the following symbols will be used for controller commands: S = Square T = Triangle O = Circle X = X
0.6: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
These questions are asked pretty frequently. So don't ask 'em anymore. ^_^
When is this game coming out in North America/Europe?
February 26, 2002. Mark your calendars.
Do I need a Japanese PS2 to play the Japanese version? / Can I mod my US/European PS2 to play it?
Some claim to have had success with certain mod chips, but this is a very dodgy topic. Your best bet really is to get a Japanese PS2. PS2 mod chips are very hard to install, could possibly ruin your system, annoy Sony greatly, and will likely not work for every game that you want to play. Import gaming is expensive. If you can't afford a Japanese PS2, it might be time to find a new, cheaper, hobby.
__What is the connection between Xenosaga and Xenogears/Perfect Works?__ Director Tetsuya Takahashi has said that Xenosaga is his chance to go back and create the story that Xenogears was originally supposed to be a part of. He has said, "I've pressed the reset button!". This means that Xenosaga and Xenogears will not necessarily match up. So far there haven't been any blatant contradictions, but this could just be because Perfect Works was pretty vague about its Episode I timeline. We might end up with a very, very different mythos than what we've read in Perfect Works and seen in Xenogears. Or we might get to Episode V and find that it's Xenogears all over again. The fact is that we can't know just yet how connected they are. Though, it would be extremely cool to play with Lacan and Krelian in your party. Oh man, that would be so cool.
Monolith can't use any Xenogears characters or game elements because it's owned by Square, right?
Monolith and Square are on good terms. A substantial amount of Xenogears-related material, including copyrighted material like character designs and specific names, has appeared in the Saga already. This suggests that Monolith has permission to use at least some of the material from XG.
Is it true that this game didn't sell very well?
The game didn't reach expected sales. There is an ongoing debate at the GameFAQs message boards about just how big of a problem that is. A good number of copies have sold, though, and Episode II is well into development. Don't worry. Yet.
Should I buy this game?
Personally, I say yes. The more people that buy it, the more likely it is that I'll get to play the rest of the series. ^_^ Really, though, read through this guide a bit, and read some reviews at GameFAQs; that's what they're for. For an idea of how much I personally like this game, look at the size of this guide. ^_^
Has this game been censored for the US version?
There are three scenes that have been slightly modified. All of them involve Albedo and MOMO. But you're not concerned with that, you've got the Japanese version, right?
0.7: USA VERSION CHANGES
A little list of what's been changed between the JP version and USA version, by int and jetfuel.
THE EDITS
(from Zenosaga.com) The dialogues were slightly edited to reflect the new changes in the cut scenes. And when we use the word slightly, we use it with emphasis. Really, we are serious! For the most part, the entire dialogue sequence remained in tact. If you are interested in what was said in the original uncut Japanese version, read jetfuel's Xenosaga Madness Project. To start, there are a total of three (count that: three) cut scenes edited for the final Xenosaga release. All three movies involved Albedo and MOMO. The first movie depicts Albedo dismembering his arm and head in front of MOMO. At the beginning of this particular scene, Albedo holds a dead Kirschwasser in his arm. In the Japanese version, he twists the dead Kirschwasser's arm (which was coupled with a bone-crushing sound effect) before throwing its lifeless body to the ground. In the US version, Albedo holds the dysfunctional Kirschwasser's arm and let its arm drop, causing the bone crushing sound. We do not see Albedo throwing the Kirschwasser corpse, but we do hear the thud that is indicative of it. In the Japanese version, Albedo was shown waving a knife around MOMO's face prior to slashing his own arm off (up to his elbow). In the edited version, Albedo is seen "ripping" his own arm off with his bare hand. The blood and the sound of flesh ripping in this movie remained in tact. Later in the same scene of the Japanese version, Albedo began cutting his own head off with his knife. When his head dropped to the ground we can hear Albedo talking to MOMO. However, we cannot see his dislocated head since it is covered by an obvious black censor block disguised as a background shadow. In the edited version, Albedo used his two hands to twist his head off from his neck. After it dropped to the ground in front of MOMO, we can witness the head of Albedo talking to MOMO with his body erect and towering just behind the talking head.
The second movie is rather short. It shows Albedo's initial attempt to interact with MOMO's subconscious mind. The Japanese version shows Albedo's hand liquefy before he plunges it into MOMO's abdomen. While he does his searching inside of MOMO, he also projects an ominous sexually gratified facial expression (dare we say orgasmically gratified facial expression!). In the edited version, his hand simply hovers over MOMO's face and emits a pinkish form of energy waves. This energy withdraws consciousness from MOMO. Albedo's (sexually) gratified facial expressions were also discretely shortened.
The third movie involves the entire party, but more significantly, Jr. in a confrontation with Albedo. Once again, Albedo does his "searching" inside of MOMO with his bare hand in the Japanese Xenosaga. In the edited version, Albedo is depicted with his hand hovering over MOMO's face withdrawing her consciousness. The ominous sexually gratified facial expression of Albedo returns in the Japanese Xenosaga but was "clipped" in the edited version.
ITEM NAMES
In an apparent attempt to be more intuitive, Namco has chosen to forego the original item names for more descriptive ones. The Aqua/Rose/Zeta/etc. convention comes originally from Xenogears, and fans were happy to see some familiar names in the Japanese version of Xenosaga. The USA version, however, has the following changes: ORIGINAL NAME -} US VERSION NAME Aquagist -} Med Kit Rosegist -} Ether Pack Zetagist -} Revive Escape Ball -} Escape Pack Space Tent -} Biosphere TP Drug, etc. -} Tech. Upgrade, etc. Personally, I find this rather lame.
DEATHBLOWS, ETC.
This is less of a change than another inconsistency with Xenogears. The original Japanese Xenogears had attacks called 必殺技("hissatsuwaza", or "sure-kill-move"). This was translated in the USA version of Xenogears as "Deathblow", a fine and accurate translation. Xenosaga also includes 必殺技, as an obvious nod to Xenogears, but it has been translated in the USA version as the much lamer "Tech Attack". Between this and the item names I can only wonder if the Xenosaga localization team ever played Xenogears.
Another inconsistency with Xenogears is the spelling of "Vanderkaum", which has been changed to "Vanderkam".
Also, the names of Shion's summon Ethers, obvious homages to Xenogears' Elements characters, Serephita, Dominia, Tolone, and Kelvena, have been mistransliterated. Erde Kaiser should have been El Derkaiser, a reference to Xenogears' Omnigears.
CAMERA TRICK
The up-skirt camera trick involving the second controller on the character info screen has been removed. This is a lesson in the differences between the USA and Japan.
BLOOD
On the Woglinde, there are scenes in which Gnosis are beating on human corpses. In the original, each blow produced a spurt of blood. In the USA version, the blood on the floor remains, but no blood spurts out.
TV
When you trick the Gnosis by turning on a television screen in the Woglinde, the display was changed from a Monty-Python-esque drawing to a couple of boring human figures.
MINOR DIALOGUE CHANGES
Mathews complains about missing the Seraphim Sisters concert, rather than the Spice Sisters.
SPAM
Instead of getting a spam email advertising Klonoa, you get one advertising Tekken 4.
NAMES
Andrew Cherenkov is referred to by his last name. Hakase is now Professor. Shion's Procurator, U-kun, has had his name changed to the utterly uninspired and lame "Bunnie". I guess US consumers just aren't ready for characters named U-kun. The good news is that if you email this "bunnie" in real life ([email protected]), you can get a free keychain. That is, if you were one of the first 1000, which you probably won't be, now.
ROBOTS
For some reason, all of the robots in the professor's lab under the Kookai AGWS shop have been dismantled.
SPELLING/ENGLISH
Some awkward English has been changed: "System Under Starting", "You Shall Be As A God", etc. The funniest and most unexpected correction was to Mathews' hat. Rather than replacing or removing the bizarre message, they simply added the indefinite article to make it correctly read, "CAUTION: I AM A BOOZER; BANZAI! BANZAI!". Brilliant. Kookai is now Kukai, which amittedly looks better to native English speakers. Jr.'s victory phrase, "go ahead make my day", was replaced with "sayonara, baby!".
BOOK 1: "SOFT" GAME DATA
Background, plot, character bios, and other subjective fluff.
1.0: STORY OVERVIEW
As translated from Monolith's site by int and Ashley:
In the year 20XX AD. Through one man's effort, ruins were discovered at Turkana Lake, Africa. A very, very ancient relic was found amongst the ruins. The relic was later called "Phenomenon Mutation Engine", Zohar. In the distant future after the discovery of Zohar, mankind has no choice but to abandon the Earth due to a 'certain reason'. In space, 4,000 years after the discovery of Zohar, where the memories of Earth have long been forgotten this sets the stage for the story of Xenosaga. In this era, the sanctity of humanity is threatened by a mysterious existence known as the "Gnosis". The groups of Gnosis exhibit clear hostility as they attack humanity. Humanity quickly develops the AGWS and the Android "KOS- MOS" system to combat it (the Gnosis). One woman, the human race and the Gnosis find themselves in conflict centered around presence of Zohar.
1.1: CHARACTER PROFILES
As translated from Monolith's site by Ashley and jetfuel:
Shion Uzuki
Sex: Female Height: 163cm Weight: 48kg Age: 22 Bio: Shion is the head engineer of the "KOS-MOS" project inside Vector, the number one development agency. In the beginning of the story, Shion is dispatched to outer space by Vector, to be in charge of the investigation of a planet which has disappeared, and to test the KOS-MOS project. The project is being conducted jointly by the government and the private sector. From early on, since her birth, there has been a long history of many wars around and in her hometown. Both of her parents are dead, also 2 years ago she lost her first love in an accident. It should have been a very tough experience for her. However she hasn't been troubled by it very much and she has never revealed her hurt feelings to anyone else. She does everything with a positive attitude, and this tends to be taken just as simple optimism. However her positive attitude is really the strongest resistance to all the experiences she's had in the past. It's also the proof that she is not restrained by the ghosts of her past, and the reason for her sheer volition to live today first and then tomorrow. Shion is a woman with "strong and mighty" personality, who tends to push her coworkers to move ahead aggressively. Although this quality is also kind of an attraction, she denies it about herself. However, as being the KOS-MOS project's head engineer, she is thought of as just a Muse. The fact is that she is a pretty woman. Because of this many of her male coworkers take a fancy to her.
KOS-MOS
Sex: Female Height: 167 cm Weight: 92kg Age: Appearance of approximately 18 years. Bio: Key girl throughout the Xenosaga series. A female-type battle android developed by the galactic conglomerate "Vector". Created without the artificial- human Realien technique, she is a unique being composed entirely of mechanical parts. Created as a battle system for use against the Gnosis by the pilgrimage fleet, "KOS-MOS" is a general project title rather than a name. She is devoted to the three priorities of logic, the establishment, and duty, and to guarding her creator Shion unconditionally. In order to facilitate communication with others, she implements a "personality imitation OS". Her name means "order".
chaos
Sex: Male Height: 169 cm Weight: 53kg Age: Appearance of approximately 18 years. Bio: A key person throughout the Xenosaga Series. Chaos is slender, and always wears a gloomy expression. He seems to have some kind of quality that sees through everything. His philosophical style of speech is hard for others to understand. He has the appearance of a 16 year old, but his age is unknown. His amber colored eyes and silver hair make him very special. Choas never talks about his past in detail. So no one knows his background, including himself because of some memory blackouts. This is why everything about him is wrapped with mystery. "Chaos" is his name.
MOMO
Sex: Female Height: 141cm Weight: 36kg Age: Appearance of about 12 years. Bio: The only way to capture a Gnosis is to use a "special observer". To capture the Gnosis an observation-type ReAlien prototype was developed. Joachim Mizrahi and Juli Mizrahi created the UTIC, a mechanics organization. Through this they created M.O.M.O. (Multiple Observative Mimetic Organicus), which is modeled after the appearance of Sakura Mizrahi, their deceased daughter. By accumulating good deeds, she hopes to fulfill her dream of meeting her father Joachim in heaven.
Jr.
Sex: Male Height: 140cm Weight: 38kg Age: Looks about 12 years old Jr. represents the board of directors for the Kookai Foundation. The Kookai Foundation is a financial group rooted within the independent state of Miltia. Miltia is a member of the Galaxy Federation. Jr. appears to be 12 years old. However no one knows his real age. Despite his childlike appearance, inside he is just the opposite. He's filled with very extensive knowledge. But sometimes he asks very child-like questions, at the same time making remarks about the true nature of things. Collecting old books and rare guns (from our period) is Jr.'s hobby.
Ziggy
Sex: Male Height: 191cm Age: 98 years have passed since he donated his body to science. (Appears to be 30 years old) A battle cyborg charged with the task of escorting 100-Type Observational Realien "M.O.M.O.". In the year 4667 T.C., at the age of 30, after donating his body to science, he was deployed to the contact subcommittee for use as a battle cyborg. While alive, his last rank held was "Commander, Federation Police 1875th Special Operations Force Headquarters Detachment". Ziggy becomes commissioned by the federal subcommittee to personally rescue M.O.M.O.
1.2: U.M.N. DATABASE TRANSLATION
The somebody-at-Monolith-Soft-deserves-a-raise, in-game glossary, as translated by int and duckroll.
Archetype - In Jungian psychology, an inherited pattern of thought or symbolic imagery derived from the past collective experience and present in the individual unconscious. Subconsciously responsible for the operation of our instincts and emotions. In the story, this is the name of the KOS-MOS prototype assigned to Kevin.
Adaria - One of the Galaxy Federation's planet outposts. The closest planet from the Woglinde space disaster site. Relay point for the Transfer Column to Senir.
Attract Inhibitor - Zohar Emulator functionality obstruction device. In biochemistry it refers to the substance (Inhibitor) that obstructs the function of an enzyme.
Abyss - The abyss literally refers to either a deep, dark hole or Hell. In the story, it refers to the occurance of a double blackhole in Old Mircea space.
Arashi no naka wa kura - "It was very dark, and the wind howled horribly around her", from L.F. Baum's 'The Wizard of Oz' (1900 AD).

Albedo's machine - For now, the name and detailed data on this machine is unknown. Exceeding 10 meters in size, the D.S.S.S. and other details are unknown, and with one attack it can destroy several thousand meters worth of Gnosis. Either the machine is different from the AGWS or the main engine is not a normal generator but a transfer model generator type.
Allen Ridgely - Born in TC 4743. 24 years old. Secondary Chief of the Operation System development sector coordinating the KOS-MOS development program in Vector's Primary Development Bureau. After graduating from Boromeo, joined Vector's Primary Development Bureau. Although two years the senior of Shion in age, in Vector he's one year her junior. It appears that he comes from a wealthy family background, but he has since left that behind and does not wish to dwell on his past. His hobby is fishing.
Andrew - Born in TC 4731. 36 years old. Lieutenant Colonel in the Federation Force marines division. Serves as the second-in-command of the cruiser Woglinde, a deep man with many layers.
Android - The term android was first used by the French author Villiers de L'Isle Adam (1838-1889) in his work 'Tomorrow's Eve', featuring a man-made human-like robot named Hadaly. As said by the officer in the story, "In this age of Realien advancement, who knows what goes on in the mind of those responsible for these mechanical dolls"
---
４００番台のプログラム (yonhyakubandai no puroguramu) / 400th Unit Program - A program designed to measure KOS-MOS' combat abilities.
ライフポッド (raifu poddo) / Life Pod - Life boat. There was one remaining on the Woglinde when Shion escaped, though it was necessary and expected to carry a considerable number of life pods. Life pods have a fixed capacity of two people and was designed to support and sustain life for about 500 hours. There appeared to be problems associated with the oxygen remainder in the Life Pod which Shion boarded.
ライフリサイクルの変異体 (raifurisaikuru no hen'itai) / Life Recycling Mutant - The biological systems, including the genes and the cranial nervous system that becomes excessively modified during the process of Life Recycling. Although mutations commonly affects the mind, depending on the degree of the mutations, the person may exhibit extraordinary abilities from super-ethereal abilities to prolonged body functions. In the case of Andrew, he was given a second adjustment after he was born from artificial insemination and gene modification. He was later sent to the battlefield as part of the Military special Infantry Training Program.
ライフリサイクル法 (raifurisaikuruhou) / Life Recycling Method - Submitted as a Bill to the Federation Parliament in T.C. 4590 and passed 91 years later. It was later enacted as a law. During that time, cyborg technology has reached its zenith and human resource was rapidly depleting. It was executed as an "Effective Use" of human resource law. As time passed, the range in interpretation of the law itself was expanded. It later became the alternative to the cloning of genes and cranial nervous system of a person. The methods differentiated until it reached the area of taboo. This law was enacted for as many as 160 years, until being abolished in T.C. 4754.
ラインの乙女 (rain no otome) / Rhine Maidens - Woglinde, Welgunde and Flosshilde. According to "Das Rheingold", the opening to the Opera "Ring des Nibelungen" by Richard Wagner, the three sisters that guard the Rhine Gold which lies beneath the riverbed.
In Xenosaga, this name crowns the newly-built Vector warships. The super-sized warships totalling over 8,000 meters in length with its bow equipped with special anti-Gnosis weapons. There are basically no differentiation in structure and performance because they are similar ships. The Woglinde, which was loaned to the GFG Defense Force to collect data in the opening also became the first Rhine Maiden to be destroyed.
The area that corresponds to the bridge on each warship is structurally the same; a raised and isolated block installed on the frontal base of the body, like that of the Woglinde.
ラピス・ローマン大尉 (rabisu rouman taii) / Captain Ravis Royman - Born on T.C. 4738, 29 years old. Galactic Federation Government special operation commander and captain of the Intelligence Bureau. Subordinate of Helmar, respresentative of the Second Miltia Government.
ラビュリントス (labyurintosu) / Labyrinthos - A laybrinth constructed on Daedalus in Crete to confine the half-man half-bull monster known as the Minotaur. It is uncertain as to why the name was given to a U-TIC facility. In etymology, "Labrys" refers to a Greek term meaning "double-edged axe".
リアクタールーム (riakutaa ruumu) / Reactor Room - The compartment of the Woglinde where the main engine is stored. Synonymous with the engine room.
リアルモード (riaru moudo) / Real Mode - Datas collected from Gnosis used on simulated environments.
リロード (riroudo) / Reload - Originally used to describe the loading of a bullet into the cylinder of a revolver. Here, the terms is used to describe the re- filling of operative energy.
ルベド (rubedo) / Rubedo - From C.G. Jung's "Psychology and Alchemy", the process of turning red in alchemy. U.R.T.V. individual No. 666 (Jr.) differs from other U.R.T.V. due to its crimson red hair. Considerably smaller in size compared to Gaignun, he is given a pseudo-name of Gaignun Jr.
レアリエン (rearien) / Realien - Synthetic humans. It is written as 'REALIEN'. An existence strictly constructed from molecular engineering; the body structure consists of various types of materials, depending on the Realien type usage classification, including silicon and depening on type: from human-type with an additional carbon-based composite, to types utilizing liquid metal base.
Most of the realiens working on the Woglinde were hybrid types produced by Vector. Their bodies are composed of a synthesized carbon and silicon material.
After the Miltia dispute, emotional control are not administered to Realiens deployed on environments subjected to severe circumstances, such as armies or planetary remodelling. Basic human rights are also legally recognized.
However, due to a few disagreements and biases during the establishment of Realiean Rights, Realiens seem to have the tendency to adopt the same personality. Part of this biased treament states that Realiens are consequentially inferior to humans, are restricted to perform the abilities respective to their types, and are not able to commit crimes.
The key program, aka, the central nervous system are all OEM of Vector. This is the Black Box, which controls the design, range and dimension of the 'Mente' (mind). It can only be adjusted at the Vector Headquarters.
連結実験準備 (renrakujikkenjunbi) / Connection Experiment Preparation - Zohar Emulator initiation experiment carried out by Andrew. During communication transmissions, the 'process of connecting the existence to Zohar' was mentioned.
連邦艦隊 (renpoukantai) / Federation Fleet - Refers to the armada of space battleships owned by the Galactic Federation Government military. In the Federation Fleet, the navy and space marines are integrated to form a singular Federal Military Defense League. The fleets that are deployed to a space region consists of one of two divisions, the space army and the Marines. There is another special operation division not included in this fleet.

連邦警察 (renpoukeisatsu) / Federation Police - Shortened term for "Galatic Government Federation Police Force". Basic architecture is similar to the modern police system we know, except it is applied in space. In the past, Ziggy belonged to the Special strategy command dispatchment corps which conducts anti-terrorism operations, VIP escorts and rescue missions.
ロジカルドライブ (rojikaru doraibu) / Logic Drive - Logical propeller. A new spaceship propeller replacing the reactor-type. It works by rewriting the phase of space in the direction of travel. Because miniaturization is relatively easy, carrier aircraft and A.G.W.S. are adopting this new type of generator.
ロスト・エルサレム (rosto eusaremu) / Lost Jerusalem - Mankind's home planet, lost for thousands of years. The Earth. Presently, it is unknown whether it still exists.
Ｙ資料 (Y-shiryou) / Y-Data (shiryou translates to "Materials" or "Data") - The research data that Joachim left. Both U-TIC and the Contact Sub Committee are actively searching for this data. In the story, it is assumed the data lies deep in M.O.M.O.'s memories. From the dialogues, it seems to have significance in Project Zohar.
惑星アリアドネ (wakusei Ariadne) / Planet Ariadne - 1.5 billion inhabitants. A planet under the league of the Galactic Federation Government which disappeared upon the experimentation of a Zohar Emulator. There were U-TIC research facilities on this planet. Andrew was placed on this planet after receiving Life Recycling treatment.
1.3: MYSTERIES
In the back of the Xenosaga Complete Guide, there is a section titled, "The MYSTERY in which it was sealed". It's a list of questions about the storyline and some mildly helpful responses. Here is that section as painstakingly translated by jetfuel.
The remaining enigmas. The fixated past, the decided future, the present wavering factors that can change the future. The tale being spun. The phenomena waiting as in an ambush. (intro unfinished)
What is Zohar?
Zohar. An object referred to in the Shining Light scripture of Kabbalah. It seems to contine to exist in perpetuity. Humans who could not procure the Original Zohar instead construct Zohar Emulators. However, even the copies of the Original Zohar manufactured by humans cause a person who touches them to vanish; as well, they have the power to obliterate a planet, and to summon Gnosis. Why is it called the Phenomenon Mutation Engine? Does it have the power to derive one future from the infinite number of possible phenomena? Or, can it change the laws of phenomena that exist in our own dimension?
For what purpose was the Zohar Relic created?
The Zohar Relic discovered on the Earth in the year 20XX: who created it, and why? The relic found on the shore of lake Turkana in Kenya was obviously created by humans. The structure that was sunk into the middle of the lake. It seems like it can be explained as ancient Zohar isolation-storage equipment, but then, who created it? It was an ancient device with systems that differ greatly from our human technology. Also, what was the role of the activation key, the small Zohar-shaped plate possessed by the discoverer? Also, what was the light that shot up into the air from the Zohar? What is the meaning of the rain that then fell on the earth?
What is the relation between Virgil and Realiens?
Virgil, Star Cluster Federation First Lieutenant stationed on the Woglinde, is the guy who said to Shion, "There's no need to try to understand Realiens". However, in the Miltia Dispute of 14 years ago, he was dismantling Realiens in both hardware and software. Moreover, he has adopted that into his own body. Assimilation. Why would a man who assimilated them in order to understand them in a deeper way, say "There's no need to try to understand"? Why is he so negative toward trying to understand Realiens? What is his relation to Febronia, who he saw in his dying moment on the Woglinde?
__What is the reason that Shion did not turn into a Gnosis?__ According to Jr., "people who have come into direct contact with a Gnosis either die by turning into a pillar of salt [Sodom/Gomorrah, anyone? -j] or they turn into a Gnosis", with no exception. However, Shion came into direct contact with a Gnosis on the Woglinde, and this has not happened to her. If Shion has escaped from death and tranformation, will there be some other effect? Is her ability to sense the Song of Nephilim one part of this effect? Can her ability to sense KOS-MOS's location when escaping from Proto Merkabah also be explained by this?
What is the meaning of what Andrew said at Higan?
(According to my dictionary, Higan is the equinoctial week, when Buddhist services are held. This question seems to refer to Andrew when he shows up on the beach in some alternate world. I'm not sure what equinoxes have to do with this.)
BOOK 2: "HARD" GAME DATA
Stats, diagrams, mechanics, and other objective material.
2.1: EXPLORATION
As explained by jetfuel
When running around the various locations of the game, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Movement
Walk around with the left analog stick, unless you are old-school and you like the directional pad. Pushing the stick further in one direction makes your character walk faster, then jog, then run. Holding R2 will put you in walk-only mode, which is useful for sneaking around enemies. Coming into contact with an enemy will put you into a battle.
The O Button
Hit O to open doors, talk to people, open boxes, take items, hit big red switches, read maps, activate cranes, or do pretty much anything else that involves interaction with the environment around your character.
Save points
The big rotating yellow things are save points, and you can save your game at them by hitting O. You may also recover your characters' stats at one by using a スペーステント / Space Tent. If the save point has a blue plate attached to the top of it, then it has few additional features: you can play Xenocard, play AGWS battling, visit the casino (see Book 5 for info on these games), or use the E.V.S. (see chapter 2.8)
Shopping
The big rotating silver things are shops. You can buy or sell items and equipment there.
Blowing Stuff Up
You can use the U.M.N. to blow stuff up. If your character passes by stuff that can be blown up, a blue indicator will appear and a sound will play. Hit S to blow that stuff up. You may open up new areas, discover items, or encounter enemies when blowing stuff up. Some stuff, when blown up, will release some kind of temporary ill effect for your enemies on the field (lightning, fire, etc.). If you can lure an enemy into one of these, then the effect will be displayed. If you then fight the enemy, it will be at an appropriate disadvantage.
Menu
You can call up your main menu by hitting T. This menu is explained in detail in chapter 2.8.
Radar
In the lower right corner, there is a blue radar screen. Your character's location and facing are indicated by a red triangle. Enemies are indicated by yellow triangles. Non-hostile characters are indicated by green triangles. Yes, the red/yellow designation seems counter-intuitive. I guess Japanese have different connotations for these colors.
2.2: BATTLE
As explained by jetfuel and Ashley
Let's take a look at Xenosaga's excellent battle system.
Attacking
Basically, you have two kinds of attacks: short range and long range. When it is your character's turn in battle, you can choose a target and then hit T to execute a long range attack, or S to execute a short range attack. You can keep attacking as long as you have AP (Action Points), which is indicated in the blue meter near your character's portrait. You may stop attacking by hitting X. Each turn you get 4 AP (Unless you're under the influence of certain items or effects). If you do not use all of your AP in one turn, it will carry over to the next turn. Regular attacks take 2 AP each. Sometimes you may score a critical hit, which does more damage than usual. In a typical turn, you might hit T and then S, thus doing two attacks and using all of your 4 AP for that turn. KOS-MOS and Ziggy both have special weapons that can be used by hitting O when you have 6 AP.
Deathblows
If you have enough AP, you can execute a Deathblow by doing a regular attack and then hitting O. Check out your Deathblow menu to view and edit which attack combinations are associated with which Deathblows. As an example, on one turn you might hit T to do a regular, long-range attack, then hit X to stop attacking and let your AP carry over. On the next turn, you might hit S, S, O, using all of your 6 AP to unleash a LW Speed Deathblow. If you upgrade a Deathblow to HI speed, then it can be used on a turn in which you only have 4 AP, because it can be set to be used after only one regular attack. Check out 2.10: Menu Translation for more info on how to set up your Deathblows.
Menu
Instead of attacking on your turn, you can hit X to call up the menu. Hit X again to return to the attacks. The battle menu contains the following options: ETHER These are your character's "spells". Choose an Ether, then choose a target, if required. This uses 4 AP. ITEM This lets you use an item. Choose an item, then choose a target. This uses 3 AP. You can also choose a "W" item with T in order to use it on all characters, using up 6 AP and two of the item. MOVE You can move to another location on the battlefield. This affects your attack and defense. Characters in the back row will not be able to use, or be hit by, physical attacks. This costs 2 AP. AGWS Use this to board your AGWS. You will be prompted for a location where you would like to deploy. GUARD This makes your character guard until her next turn. It costs 2 AP.
Boost
The Boost gauge is the red gauge near your AP gauge. It fills up as you attack, and once full increments the number next to it and empties again. Boost allows you to slip a character's turn into the round preemptively. When a character has at least one boost gauge filled, and is not already present in the turn queue at the bottom right, you can hold down R2 and a Boost icon will show up. Eligible characters will show up around it, and you then hit the appropriate button(S is left, T is up, O is right). That character's icon will then be inserted into the queue immediately after the current turn.
Counter-Boost
Some enemies have the ability to counter-boost. This means that they have a chance to automatically boost when attacked. The enemy's portrait will appear in a pink boost circle rather than a yellow one, and whether the enemy is already in the turn queue does not affect this ability. This means that one enemy can go twice in a row. This sucks, but the cool thing is that your characters can gain this ability as well. The items Samurai Heart and Revenge Power are both counter-boost items, and the corresponding skills can be drawn from them. Neat!
G.T.W.
At the bottom right of the screen is a blue field called the G.T.W., or Group Turn Window. It shows a diagram of the battlefield, including all allies and enemies. The currently targeted ally or enemy will be indicated by a line, and by having its portrait slightly offset in the queue. Enemies are indicated as type B (biological), M (mechanical), or G (Gnosis). If you are able to see enemies' hit points, they will be displayed here as well. The queue of portraits in the middle indicates in what order characters will act during this round of battle. At the beginning of a round, icons are put into the queue according to one's speed attribute. As turns are taken, the icons file out the left side of the queue. Keep an eye on who will be taking the next turn, as you might be able to kill a monster right before it attacks, or you might find reassurance in knowing that your healing character will have the next turn. Also keep in mind that the queue can be altered by the use of Boosts, by both you and your enemies.
Event Slot
Next to the G.T.W. is a little slot-machine looking thingie that rolls over each turn. It has 4 possible settings, each of which affects in a different way the combat that takes place during that turn. The little orange burst increases the effectiveness of critical hits. The gold ring-looking thing increases the rate at which your Boost gauge fills. The coin looking thing gives you extra Tp and Ep points with each kill made on that turn. The amount of points received varies, with a high chance of getting x2 points, sometimes x4 points, and rarely x10 points. The blank one does nothing.

To get Shion's last 4 Ethers: You have to find all the robot parts (all are found in the red doors), and give them to Hakase at Kookai Foundation's AGWS Garage, he is in the basement to the far left. Please note: In your journey to create Erdekaiser you will also get 3 other ethers, they are Thrones Blade, Seraphim Bird, and Dominion Tank. Now once you have all the parts Hakase will try to create Erdekaiser and there will be a small accident. Now go to the Bar and find Scott. Finally they will make Erdekaiser together.

To get MOMO's two transformation Ethers and extra Deathblows: Well you need to use MOMO as the lead character and inspect the glittering "bookcase" in the Gnosis hive (up the stairs, in the area with the falling bridge). Doing this you will get the Ether "Star Wind" and the Deathblow "Rare Hunter". Also use MOMO as the lead character and inspect the glittering "wall" (in the Song of Nephilim, the second tower 6th floor). Doing this you will get the Ether "Star Light" and the Deathblow "Lovely Ray". Again use MOMO as the lead character and enter the upstairs open window of Kookai Foundation bar and defeat Mintia, (get there by going upstairs at the hotel, outside and across the canopy). Doing this you will get the Deathblow "Dark Rod"
(MINTIA TIPS, submitted by Tom): 1 - Mintia can only absorb HP from someone who's position in the middle row. That means, if nobody occupies the middle row, then Mintia Monster's Blue Ray won't be used at all. 2 - Mintia uses that "push back" attack to push someone into the back row. If there's somebody already occupying that space, they stay in the front row. Saves a turn moving back to the front row. 3 - Mintia also hates men and attacked them with avengence.

2.7: ITEMS/EQUIPMENT
As translated by Bebpo and Ashley. Item lists at GameMaster's of Xenosaga ([url=http://www.netdene.com/~kusari/xenosaga/]http://www.netdene.com/~kusari/xenosaga/[/url]) were of great help. Item locations added by jetfuel.
For the rare items, you'll want to use MOMO's Rare Hunter deathblow to get them from the enemies. She needs to be in transformed mode to use this deathblow; set it to high speed so that you won't have to waste a turn building up AP.
W = If you select this item with Triangle when your AP is at 6, it will be used on the whole party.

2.8: AGWS DATA
Info on the battle robots, as contributed by Jack Power.
BASIC AGWS STRATEGIES
-Level up! While AGWS have their own set of stats, their ether power, ether defense, hit rate and evade rate are equal to their pilot. So, don't ignore your character's stats. (The VX series AGWS also have a anti-ether armor coat which gives an extra 4 or 8 EARM. I guess that's why they're shiny.) -Upgrade! If you have the cash (which is no problem if you're good at poker), it goes without saying that you should keep all your AGWS's as updated as possible. Revisit the Dock Colony and Foundation parts shops as much as possible, since they get new wares after story events. However, if you know you won't be using a certain AGWS for a while (or ever...) you can forgo upgrades and save some money. -Mini-maximize! The attack power of all non-ether weapons is related to the AGWS's DPOW. So, equipping a pair of axes will increase the damage done by your missile launcher too. Ether weapons depend entirely on the pilot. So, it's best to equip either all physical attack weapons or all ether weapons to minimize ineficiency and maximize power. -Metagame! Think about what enemies you'll be facing and equip your mechs accordingly. Fighting large groups of annoying soldiers? Put on some missile launchers. Up against a boss with strong defense? Try beam rifles. -W-ACT! Having two weapons with the W-Act ability is often your best bet. Because a double attack combines the damage of the two weapons before figuring the enemy's defense, you'll end up doing more damage than with two regular attacks (especially if you get a critical hit). Plus, double attacks use only one ammo point and no EP. -Speed! One of the biggest weaknesses of AGWS is their speed is lower than most characters. Speed boosting accessories should be a major priority, as well as keeping the weight down by going easy on the heavy weapons. AGWS also can't boost either, unless you equip the B-MAX gear, and even then your AGWS boost guage still won't increase when attacking. -Heal! Repair at shops when you get the chance (including after every frame upgrade); it's only 100G. Repair kits are available later in the game if you know the right shops, but be sure to get a Guard Recover for each AWGS you use. These repair 10% of your mech's max HP every time you Guard. Guarding then becomes a viable strategy, since you're healing, taking less damage, and saving up AP for a double attack the next round!
BATTLES WHERE AGWS ARE PARTICULARLY USEFUL
-Straight physical attackers. If you're keeping your AGWS upgraded, their defense will be much higher than your characters. Feel free to laugh as the soldiers or cobolts plink your mechs for 0 damage. -Status attackers. If you're up against enemies who use poison or some other nasty affliction every round and you don't have protection, get in your AGWS first turn. You'll be immune to almost all normal status effects. There are a few statuses that can affect your AGWS, but hardly any enemies that I've seen actually use them. -Boss inside the Giant Gnosis. Once you take care of his two little buddies, the Gargoyle powers up and launches some nasty attacks, and at this point your characters probably aren't strong enough to survive very long. Hop in your AGWS, and assuming you've upgraded them the fight is a sinch. -The church boss in Encephalon. Tiamat is the trickiest fight in the game, bar none. You're stuck with three characters who can use AGWS, so you might as well take advantage of that. First, equip their AGWS with a Guard Recover and a Guard Cleaner, and have everyone board their bots as soon as the battle begins. Have Chaos do most of the attacking at first because he won't be counterattacked. Finally, just kill him with both Shion and Jr.; it still counts if they're in their AGWS. -The boss in Nephilim's Song. Shimeon has very high attack and defense power, so you'll probably want to use your AGWS at some point. It doesn't do any status attacks, but it has a very nasty beam weapon you may be familiar with, so equip accordingly.
COMPLETE AGWS LISTING
VX SERIES
VX-4000 Height: 4.12m Weight: 2.63t Transfer Generator: 19.7 DSSS rating: 4.8ms Description: Buy at the Dock Colony for 50000G (available as soon as you get to explore the Kookai Foundation). It cannot equip heavy weapons like rifles, but has 7 AGL and good ether defense. Equipment: Starts with a pair of ER-VX electron shooters which only it can use. They're useful against mechanical enemies, so you may opt to keep them. Also comes with a ECM (electronic Countermeasures) pod ECM1-VX, which is useful for inflicting status effects on machines. Optimal equipment: Your options are a bit limited. After Nephilim's Song appears, you'll be able to buy an ECM pod which affects all enemies (ECM2-VX) and the DEF-VX Ether Shield. Equipping either one deprives you of a potential weapon, so choose wisely.
VX-7000 Height: 4.98m Weight: 3.24t Transfer Generator: 24.4 DSSS rating: 4.3ms Description: Jr.'s AGWS. One of Vector's military mechs, customized with a Logical Drive. Usually has the most HP of the 3 default AGWS. Equipment: Starts with a pair of HG45VX handguns. They have plenty of ammo and allow a W-Act every 3rd round. Obviously, get the uprated HG75VX handguns at the Foundation shop when you first arrive. Optimal equipment: The spread lancer (LW-VX2) is exclusive to this AGWS and its strongest weapon, but it has disadvantages as well. If your pilot has weak Ether you're better off with something else. A pair of grenade launchers (GRD20AG) has the same AGL penalty and might suit your fancy.
VX-9000 Height: 4.95m Weight: 3.01t Transmit Generator: 21.0 DSSS rating: 4.0ms Description: Used by a solider from the Durandal [NPC]. Accompanies Mary and Jr. on their raid of an enemy battleship. Equipment: Has a pair of SWD32VX swords. Equipment cannot be changed.
VX-10000 Height: 4.95m Weight: 3.11t Transmit Generator: 22.5 DSSS rating: 3.8ms Description: Shion's AGWS. Supposedly built as a multi-purpose mech for the common market. Slightly lower HP than the other default AGWS, and average in its abilities. Equipment: Starts with a SWD21AG and an SMG99AG. I recommend selling the machine gun and getting a second sword, but as long as you equip them in pairs any weapon should do fine. If your driver has high Ether power, I recommend a pair of beam arms later. Optimal equipment: Personally I prefer a pair of beam swords, but since this mech doesn't have an "ultimate weapon" to work with it's up to you. Be sure to add a chaff launcher (CB85VX) as well.
VX-20000 Height: 5.22m Weight: 4.25t Transmit Generator: 27.1 DSSS rating: 5.2ms Description: Mary's AGWS [NPC]. Big and mean. Has 1200HP and high defense. Why exactly does Mary have one of the most bad-ass AGWS? Equipment: A pair of LG24VX beam rifles. Equipment cannot be changed.
AG series
AG-01 Height: 4.40m Weight: 3.80t Transmit Generator: 18.63 DSSS rating: 6.8ms Desciption: Simple all-purpose mech. Used by soldiers on the Woglinde. Non- playable (which is good, since they get trashed so easily).
AG-02 Height: 4.48m Weight: 3.97t Transmit Generator: 20.11 DSSS rating: 6.8ms Description: Chaos's AGWS. Variant of the AG-01. Also used by Virgil. Well- rounded and seems best suited for rifles and beam weapons. Equipment: Starts with a pair of LG10AG rifles. These are OK, but if you have the cash, upgrade to a pair of SMG32VX. Be sure to get a pair of LG24VX rifles when you can; they're good weapons and you'll never see them later. Optimal equipment: This is the only AGWS that can use the SHB67AG shield rifle, so you might want to try it. It's not that powerful, but it seems to add significantly to defense when Guarding. I also recommend a BL24AG beam launcher or LG100VX long beam rifle. After Nephilim's Song appears, you'll be able to buy the ultimate fan-service weapon: AIRD-AG2 Aerods. They're powerful, but limit your AGWS in speed and other equipment.
AG-04 Height: 4.20m Weight: 3.56t Transmit Generator: 16.0 DSSS rating: 6.8ms Description: Buy at the Dock Colony for 80000G (available as soon as Nephilim's Song appears). Though it looks a bit odd, it has very high HP and attack power as well as 7 AGL. Equipment: Starts with "hands" (it punches enemies). Obviously you want to upgrade to those gyrosaucers (WCT02AG4) ASAP. It can only use a few different weapons though. Optimal Equipment: You don't have much selection here, so get the pair of drill claws (DLCOAG4). You also might want to throw on a missile pod (SMP53AG) since this bot can take the AGL hit easily and needs the versatility.
AG-05 Height: 4.80m Weight: 5.69t Transmit Generator: 22.8 DSSS rating: 6.8ms Description: Buy at the Dock Colony for a whopping 300000G (available when Proto Merkabah appears). Huge and evil, with 6000HP and the best offense and defense, but has only 5 AGL. Makes many of us nostalgic for Gears. Optimal equipment: There are a ton of weapons exclusive to this monster, but it can only equip 1 weapon in most of these cases. -A pair of vulcan cannons (HGG-AG5). They do around 700-900 damage on a normal hit against the final boss, and can W-Act. Highly recommended. -A warhammer (HMP-AG5). It adds a lot to your power and does even more damage than the vulcans. Good for long battles, but lacks versatility. -An artillery cannon (LC-AG5). Probably the most powerful AGWS weapon available. Expect a few thousand damage per hit. However, it only has a couple of shots per battle, gives -1 AGL, and needs 6AP to use. -A massive beam cannon (BBC-AG5). If your driver has very high Ether and EP, it is potentially even stronger than the artillery cannon. Also takes 6AP to use and a -1 AGL penalty, and eats up EP like other beam weapons. -Missile launchers. The arm-mounted ones (HMP-AG5) have 2 shots each, and no W- act. The back-mounted pod (BMP-AG5) has only 1 shot but that one shot will likely kill any normal enemy group you're fighting. For both power and versatility, your best bet is to equip the BMP and either a HMP or a HGG.

I found it useful to actually keep my characters at low HP. This prevents Mintia from stealing very much with her big blue eye attack, and keeps her from doing much damage with her big red eyes attack. Look out for her poison attack move, which causes you to take damage each time you damage her. Shion's Safety Level ether is nice here.

アイテム / Items Menu
At the bottom right of the screen you see the triangle controller character. This means press Triangle at any time to sort. Use L1 and R1 to change lists:(Items, Special Items, Character Weapons, Character Accessories, Character Ammo, AGWS weapons, AGWS Accessories, AGWS Ammo)
エーテル / Ether Menu
使用 / Use Just select the Ether you want, then the character you want to use it on. セット / Set The amount of Ether Skills you can use in Battle is marked by Wt 02/12, where the second number is the max Ether Skills you can have available during battle. Choose available Ethers by placing a check by them. ポイント配分 Distribute Points Choose one of your existing Ethers from the list and then: -進化 / Progress Ether (Use E.Pt to learn a new Ether) -譲渡 / Assign Ether (Use E.Pt to give Ethers to others) キャンセル / Cancel
__必殺技 Deathblow Menu__ セット / Set To the left are possible button combinations for attacks. You can assign deathblows to these button combinations. "SetList/HI" slots can only hold Deathblows with "HI" speed ratings. "SetList/LW" slots can hold HI or LW Deathblows. At the bottom you see "使用回数 / Times Used" and "倒した回数 / Kills" stats for each Deathblow. By each button combo: 近 / close range; 遠 / far range. ポイント配分 / Distribute Points Each Deathblow has three attributes you can level up: Tech, Speed, and Wait. On the right side of the screen, "Lv" is the current level of the attribute and "T.Pt" is the number of T.Pts you need to level it up. If you see "UP OK" next to an attribute, it can be leveled up. Tech represents the effectiveness of the Deathblow. Speed determines in which slots you can set the Deathblow (HI speed Deathblows can be used after only one normal attack, while LW speed requires 2). (Ashley's personal note: HI speed deathblows are the key to kicking ass in this game!) Wait indicates how much of a delay penalty your character will experience after using the Deathblow. キャンセル / Cancel
スキル / Skills Menu
引き出す / Draw A Skill (from an item) If you have enough S.Pt and a high enough Skill Level, you can draw a skill out of an item. This allows you to then set the skill to the character. Your Skill Level goes up the more skills you draw, so even if you don't need some skills, you might want to draw the highest level skills you can just to increase your level. Skills can only be drawn from non-equipped items. セット / Set A Skill You can set a skill you have drawn, so that the character benefits from it. You can set three skills at a time. Skills' effects are cumulative with equipped items. キャンセル / Cancel
キャラクター / Character Menu
When selecting a character to view, you can hit S to move the gold trapezoid thingie to another character. This sets which character represents your party while walking around on maps. Fun! While viewing a character, you can move the model around. L2 + up/down zooms in and out; R2 + direction rotates. And, before you ask, yes, there *is* a way to rotate your female characters in... that direction. Use the second controller. 装備 / Equip A Character _解除 / Unequip A Character_ 強化 / Level up A Character
A.G.W.S
装備 / Equip You get three weapon slots and three extra slots. Choose a weapon slot, then choose where you'd like to mount the weapon(right/left, arm/shoulder/back). After equipping a gun-type weapon, its slot will also have a place for ammo. Certain weapons can only be mounted on certain parts of the AGWS. The three slots on the bottom are for add-on items; select a slot and then select the item to equip. 解除 / Unequip Choose an equipped item to remove it. 搭乗者 / Pilot Choose who will be piloting this particular AGWS

This is the little half-PS-controller thingie that Shion carries around. It's got all sorts of neat features to help you along in the game. メール / mail _読む / read_ 履歴表示 / display history _保存 / storage_ プラグイン / plugin This is a list of plugins for your U.M.N. Each plugin adds some functionality or feature to the U.M.N. データベース / database This is a database of terms used in the game. For translations, refer to section 1.4. EVS 環境シミュレーター / environment simulator The EVS allows you to revisit certain locations in the game to gather items or level up your characters. EVS is available only at save points that have a blue U.M.N. extension. You will be presented with a list of possible locations to visit. Once you select one, you will be dropped into a VR simulation of that game location. This simulation will function essentially identically to the actual area. The primary difference is that save points will be replaced by red and blue "EXIT" points which allow you to return to the game proper. When new areas become available, you will get an email on your U.M.N.

2.11: EMAILS
As translated from the Xenosaga: Episode I Complete Guide by jetfuel
Throughout the course of the game, Shion will receive a number of emails on her U.M.N. Some of these emails can be replied to, and if you reply correctly, you can procure some nice items and a good amount of cash. Here is a quick list of all emails that can get you something.
The email list follows this pattern:

Investment Mails
(Note: the guide says something to the effect that you need to give an address to someone in order to get these mails. For the IT and Construction investments, it's the worker on the Woglinde near the Zohar. For the others, it's that worker or the old guy downstairs at the Dock Colony. Give them your address and then you'll start getting emails about investing. In order to get F-BSHOT, you should invest in Vector for Medical Supplies, and then VL for Industry. If you miss one of them but get the other, then you can then invest in Vector for IT and Alchemia for Construction to get it later.)

BOOK 3: GAME STORY TRANSLATION
Cutscenes translated and explained. As a general rule, any scene that includes spoken dialogue will be covered here. Other scenes are more likely covered in the Walkthrough section, Book 4. We're not going to be writing these sections in the strict order that they appear in the game; if there is one scene that you'd like to see a translation for, please let us know so that we have an idea of what the demand is like.

20XX AD Lake Turukana Kenya
PROFESSOR: You're in charge of digging on the north cliff from tomorrow, the ground is hard there so be careful when you dig.
SUPERVISOR: OK.
WORKER: Professor! Mr. Musuda!
PROFESSOR: What's Up? Did you find something?
WORKER: Yeah, we followed the corridor from the lake side; it matches the location described by the in research book
SUPERVISOR: That would mean that--
PROFESSOR: Ok! I'm on my way!
WORKER: It's different from the others.
PROFESSOR: I thought so.
WORKER: It's over there.
PROFESSOR: This must be... Whoa!
OTHER WORKER: Ah God! Ah get away!
PROFESSOR: Wow!
PROFESSOR: What's that light?

(Shion gets dropped into the VR simulation)
SHION: Allen? The visual field connection seems to be a little bad...
ALLEN: Uh, er... Ah! The K12 route of the MT field has a disconnection. Also, the mutual link for the V4 field seems to be delayed. Wait a moment. I'm correcting it now. How is that, boss?
SHION: OK. It's acceptable. Go on.
ALLEN: Roger. All right, entering KOS-MOS's (technobabble)
SHION: Good morning, KOS-MOS. How's your condition?
KOS-MOS: Good morning, Shion. All operations nominal.
SHION: All right, do your self-introduction for me?
KOS-MOS: I am Special Humanoid Anti-Gnosis Annihilation Weapon Serial Number 000000001. Development Name KP-X. Code Name, KOS-MOS. Presently configured for mock battle use. Output is set at 22% of regular output limit. Planned battle equipment specs are--
SHION: Yes, good work. That's enough.
KOS-MOS: Yes.
SHION: We've been looking forward to your activation, but the next activation experiment, after a series of tests, you'll be put back to sleep.
KOS-MOS: Is that so.
SHION: Do you feel sadness-- or anything?
KOS-MOS: My ortificial-being emotional program was designed for easy use by humans. Specifically, by you-- Vector Primary Development Department KOS-MOS Project Head Engineer, Shion Uzuki, and to preserve relations with her/you. (This is really hard to get across while preserving the sentence order)
KOS-MOS: If my emotional program evaluates that emulation of 'sadness' is necessary, I will behave in that manner. However, presently that necessity has not been evaluated to exist.
SHION: Tee hee. Yeah, I guess. That's the one thing I feel the most.
KOS-MOS: I am glad that you understand.
SHION: But, KOS-MOS... Right now, my feelings are very complicated. I'm happy when you've been awakened, but... that you're going to be put back to sleep makes me feel very lonely. But, the next time you are awakened, It might be a time of much bloodshed. So, somewhere in my heart, I think that I don't want that day to come. Do you understand?
KOS-MOS: Complicated human emotions, particularly illogical ones, are imcomprehensible to me.
SHION: Yes-- Someday, if you could understand such feelings, that would be good.
KOS-MOS: I will do my best.
SHION: Well then, shall we begin, KOS-MOS? Allen, continuing from last time, please start us from program 277.
ALLEN: Roger. Arranging target drones in various locations around the Encephalon. Drones are set up for Random Walk and Ambush. Boss. Before starting the mission, there'll be a practice exercise.
SHION: Yeah, let's do that. You heard, right, KOS-MOS?
KOS-MOS: Understood.
(Tutorial Begins)
3.1.2: Post-Tutorial
From the time the tutorial ends til the VR sim begins, as translated by jetfuel.
ALLEN: Boss. Data transfer complete.
ALLEN: A-LINE Protocol seems good, doesn't it?
SHION: Seems that way. Reaction levels seem good.
ALLEN: In this condition, as long as you're getting a good result, you should be able to go further out.
SHION: That's true...
(Shion looks at KOS-MOS)
ALLEN: Boss?
SHION: Hey, Allen. Cut off up to program 399. Let's try starting from 400.
ALLEN: From 400!? Boss, that's--
SHION: I have a feeling we'll be able to do it this time.
ALLEN: Ah, but... You haven't already forgotten about last month, have you? That time the support was lagged 10 seconds... That's the kind of situation you can't return from. What about at least using object mode?
SHION: Then we can't collect very detailed data. It's all right. If we get into trouble we can get out by ourselves. Anyway, don't you want to try it? We all stayed up all those long nights for the A-LINE native...
ALLEN: That's true, but...
SHION: Then it's settled! Let's start!
ALLEN: I don't know. If there's that one in a million chance that we are forced to cut the connection... You don't have to be so persistent!
SHION: I know, I know!
ALLEN: Also, if we lose the menu...
SHION: I said, I know.
ALLEN: Man, being all casual about it... That time you nearly met an early death...
FEMALE OPERATOR: Sub-boss, you really seem to be particularly worried about boss Uzuki... Her days are numbered, anyway. (?)
ALLEN: Shut up! Don't talk about things that are none of your business! Program number 400. Are you ready?
MALE OPERATOR: Ready. We can go any time.
ALLEN: Then start the program! Give me all monitoring at maximum levels! Be ready to abort at the slightest problem!
3.1.3: Sim Boss
Summary: After beating up the boss, something goes wrong with the simulation. Allen wants Shion to come out of it but she insists that she stay in to collect as much data as possible about the Gnosis. Finally Allen busts into the simulation and pulls Shion out while she is mesmerized by the vision of the little girl.
3.1.4: Around the Woglinde
There are a number of short story scenes between coming out of the simulation and leaving the Woglinde.
Summary (this is all off the top of my head): After coming out of the simulation, Shion and the others will talk about how she needs to take the KOS-MOS data to the bridge. Shion leaves without it. Allen volunteers to take it to her, and plans to ask Shion out. On the way, Shion is also called to stop by the Realien lab.
In the lab, she does her side job of counseling the realiens. At this time Virgil, a military officer, shows up and expresses his disgust for Realiens, insisting on calling them "products" when Shion refers to them as people. The head of the Realien lab reveals that he is an acquaintance of Virgil's, from when they lived on Miltia. Shion then says that she was born on Miltia, but that her only remaining family is her older brother.
At the bridge, Andrew, a government officer of some sort, scolds Shion and her project, asking her to consider why her group is even with this fleet (I'm not really clear on this part yet, either). The captain expresses that he would like to take a look at the KOS-MOS data and find out more about KOS-MOS and Gnosis.
We see Andrew taking orders from a mystery man named Margulis, who is telling him to move ahead to Phase 2 of some plan, but andrew is afraid that it is too dangerous.
After Shion stops by the A.G.W.S. hangar, she returns to her room for a rest. There is a disturbance on the bridge when the computers start picking up some strange signals. KOS-MOS is starting to activate on its own, even though Shion is the only one with the access codes. Shion is reminded of the event of one year ago, in which some similar accident caused the death of her staff, including her boyfriend Kevin. The power goes out and KOS-MOS wakes up, and the entire staff is terrified because they know what happened last time.
Shion will run into Virgil again, and will have several dozen rounds of ammunition pass by her harmlessly, Pulp-Fiction-style. Shion and Virgil argue about her getting lost because she doesn't know the ship very well. Gnosis show up and kick everyone's butt. A Realien saves Shion, and tells her to get to an escape pod. She argues that everyone should escape together, but he insists that he should stay behind to help fight. Virgil gets ahold of Shion's U.M.N. device, and reveals that he knows of the secret defense mechanism built into the Realiens. They have a self-destruct function. He blows up the realiens, but the Gnosis persevere and knock him out of his A.G.W.S.
Shion is nearly crystallized by a Gnosis, and she sees the little girl again. She finds it strange that a little girl should be in such a dangerous place, and then seems ready to accept her own death when KOS-MOS shows up to save the day. KOS-MOS activates the Hilbert effect, solidifying the Gnosis in our physical space, and kicks their butts.
3.1.5: The Long One
This is the notorious nearly-one-hour cut scene. Grab some popcorn, Dippin Dots, and a large Sprite, put down the controller, and relax. This scene appears courtesy of Henry Jerng.
SHION: (surprised) Commander Andrew!
ANDREW: What? What business do you guys have here...
(Several Gnosis caterpillars march toward the group despite hails of bullets. Following Shion's steps, Allen and Virgil back into the great hall.)
ANDREW: (looking at the creatures) Gn, Gnosis.
(KOS-MOS casually joins the rest of the party with her Gatling guns in tow.)
ANDREW: (looking at KOS-MOS) Did you ... wake up?
(KOS-MOS lines up with Virgil and Allen and opens fire with one of her two Gatling guns. All three proceed to launch a barrage of fires.)
VIRGIL: (mad) Come and get it! Come and get it! Come and get it! Eat this! You bastards!
(Shion picks up a rifle and joins the others in attacking the Gnosis entering the hall. Suddenly, two Gnosis humanoids plop down right behind Shion. Surprised, she tilts her head to look back. Virgil sees Shion in trouble and comes to her rescue.)
(Allen and KOS-MOS finally finished the Gnosis coming through the entrance and start to come to Shion's aid. KOS-MOS' autofiring system tries to target the Gnosis, but Virgil keeps getting in the way. Undeterred, KOS-MOS fires her Gatling gun, landing countless bullets into Virgil. As he fell, he sees the image of a blonde-haired woman.)
(Virgil's death clears the way for KOS-MOS to launch a direct assault on the Gnosis. She quickly finishes them off. Shocked by KOS-MOS' actions, Shion drops her rifle, falls to her knees, and covers her mouth to keep herself from throwing up.)
KOS-MOS: This ship is sinking. Please hurry.
(KOS-MOS walks toward Zohar, which is surrounded by rings.)
SHION: (still sitting on the ground. angry) Please wait, KOS-MOS. KOS-MOS, (KOS-MOS stops in her tracks) Do you understand what you just did?
KOS-MOS: (her back facing Shion) The duty assigned to me is the protection of Vector personnels, you two. I do not have instructions to protect military personnels.
SHION: (shaking her head) Don't say such stupid thing, because it's ridiculous for killing others to be okay. Why did you shoot lieutenant Virgil? Even if you don't sacrifice him, with your power---
KOS-MOS: At that time, lieutenant Virgil was in my line of fire. If I had put off my firing and went around him to come to your protection, it's expected that my attack ability would have decreased less than 30% by going from a twelve-o-clock to a one-o-clock direction. Compare to that, by killing the lieutenant first, the decrease in my attack did not drop more than 0.2%. I just made a reliable choice in order to make sure you're alive. (Allen puts his left hand on Shion's left shoulder. KOS-MOS continues.) Besides, the pod's seating capacity is two. It's certainly clear who and who have the priority.
SHION: (turning to look at KOS-MOS) That is too mean. Don't you have any conscience?
KOS-MOS: Shion, I am not "human". I am just a "weapon". That is what you're supposed to know the best. (Pause) What are you going to do? Are you going aboard? Are you not going aboard? If you feel like grieving for his death, I would advise you to live. If you do not, he will turn out to have had a "useless death".
ALLEN: Boss, well, let's go.
(KOS-MOS walks away as Shion follows. Andrew taps at the control panel for the rings surrounding Zohar. Even he steps back when KOS-MOS nears. KOS-MOS steps on the platform next to Zohar and focuses her attention on a big red Aleph at its center.)
(Suddenly, the ground shakes. It's a big Gnosis boss---!!)
---
(After the boss is defeated, a horde of little flying Gnosis converges around Zohar. KOS-MOS does her best to exterminate them, but they manage to steal it.)
(The ship breaks apart, and then the bottom part explodes. We see KOS-MOS and Andrew, in spacesuit, standing atop the escape pod.)
(One of the whale-like Gnosis opens up and swallows up the Zohar. KOS-MOS mumbles something that we cannot hear because of the vacuum of space. KOS-MOS' coffin joins up with the pod.)
KOS-MOS: (image of the Zohar pops up on her monitor) ---Yes. The object was not the original. (image of KOS-MOS' brain and brain stem appears. A black spot is magnified from her right cerebral hemisphere , while the Aleph on Zohar is enlarged.) ---Yes. It's an emulator. ---Understood. After marking, I will urgently leave the current area, continue the original plan, and head for the second Miltia.
(The whales open up some spatial fold as they prepare to make a jump. KOS-MOS conjures up a big gun between her hands, points it at the whales, and fires. The shots went into the spatial field, and the Gnosis whales disappear. KOS-MOS then maps the stars and scans for a ship. Luckily, she finds one heading right for them.)
(SAVE GAME)
(We see the ship that responded to the distress call making its way through the debris.)
CAPTAIN'S VOICE: Is everything annihilated?----- They sure did a clean job, those scoundrels. Isn't there anything left? Hey, Tonny! About how long ago was the Federation ship seized?
(We see Elsa's bridge. Tonny, the pilot, sits at the front.)
TONNY: Let me see. The last distress signal was sent 30 minutes ago. No matter how fast we're going, it still took less than 3 hours. (scratching his head, turning to his left toward Mathews the captain) There are no ships nearby. Well, Hammer?
HAMMER: (relaxed. with his hands wrapped behind his back) Yep. We're the only ship in an area with a radius of 5000 light years. (looking up at the captain)
MATHEWS: (sitting with his legs crossed) Okay. (throwing his left fist into his right palm) That's just perfect. Let's pilfer anything that we can try to sell.
HAMMER: Hey, captain. However close the date for paying your debt to gentleman Gaignun is coming up, isn't this just a little embarrassing? If we're caught by the police, we won't be able to avoid doing 10 years at least.
MATHEWS: The main point is that you're talking about "if" we get caught. Is the police going to take the trouble to come to such a remote region and make patrols?
HAMMER: So, even if you're not behaving as if you're stealing from the dead, don't you somehow feel like a hyena, or just becoming a space bearcat or jackal?
MATHEWS: (steps and pushes on the back of Hammer's seat, throwing him forward) You idiot! What sort of comparison is that? (pointing and waving his right hand at Hammer) Aren't they all extinct animals? For luck, just call it graceful recycling: recycling.
TONNY: (joining in) As if recycling is tied to that master Gaignun. I wonder if it's all right for the Foundation's image to fall. Wait, a ruined ship is discovered in the three-o-clock direction. It's a Ganymede class.
MATHEWS: Oh. Bravo, Tonny! Our interception of UMN emergency bandwidth has just paid off. Let's get there quickly--- Quickly!
HAMMER: (mumbling) As expected, a vulture---
MATHEWS: (sticking his head out) You...
(Elsa approaches the debris field.)
HAMMER: (typing on his console) Spectral, wide open. Geo crystal is flashing.
MATHEWS: Okay! This is good omen. First, let's get that.
(Tonny stares out into space and sees a floating body. He gets scared and looks back at Mathews.)
TONNY: Isn't, isn't that a corpse? What Geo crystal? What the...
MATHEWS: ----- "Aren't you the scary cat?" This is the remains of a battlefield. It's nothing especially uncommon. We're just wasting our motor's propulsion. I don't care for it. Push it aside.
TONNY: (after getting out from his seat) Are, are you joking? I was severely told by my dead grand mother to respect my ancestors. No joking- I'll get cursed. Captain, you do it.
MATHEWS: You idiot! What? That's something like your grandpa? Isn't that some weird reason. Let's move out right now without saying four or five words.
TONNY: Wait. (KOS-MOS crashes into the bridge's window and bounces off) Isn't the captain always like this? You're always imposing all these detestable things on us.
(KOS-MOS gets lodged on the ship's left side window, with everyone staring.)
MATHEWS: You, you stupid idiot. How about just letting it go. Let it go. I say just let it bounce off.
TONNY: We're heading in a direction to catch it. That isn't my fault.
MATHEWS: It's all right, so just excuse yourself right now.
HAMMER: (looking at KOS-MOS) Ah, but this corpse looks like a girl. She may be a splendid beauty. He, he, he (pointing to KOS-MOS)
MATHEWS: It's no laughing matter, you pervert. There's no reason to salivate over a beauty when it's a corpse.
TONNY: Yeah. And we've run into her. Still, it's regrettable that I can't meet her alive face to face---
(KOS-MOS moves and looks at them with her red eyes. That throws the crew into shock and causes them to scream.)
KOS-MOS: (with her hands pressed against the window) Please open a line of communication. I have something I want to talk about. The frequency is 2020.
HAMMER: (stunned) The corpse talked.
MATHEWS: (looking at Hammer) You, you fool! Take a good look. This is no corpse.
TONNY: (sitting in the pilot's seat, praying) Nanmandabu, nanmandabu---
MATHEWS: A Realien or a cyborg--- probably something like that.
HAMMER: B, but I've never heard of a Realien that can function in vacuum.
MATHEWS: So, so it's probably something like a military robot. It's safe, so open a channel.
Hammer presses a few buttons and opens a channel.
MATHEWS: I am captain Mathews of the tramp steamer Elsa. A little while ago, we received your distress signal. By chance you were in the vicinity of this ship's course, and as soon as we heard the emergency we hurried to your rescue---
HAMMER: (turning his head toward Mathews) Sure, a rescue.
Mathews sticks his big right foot sharply against Hammer's seat, throwing Hammer's face forward.
MATHEWS: (clearing his throat, crossing his arms) Um, I wonder if there isn't anything we can assist with?
HAMMER: (whispering) Such rescue----- How about helping with the work or "recycling"?
MATHEWS: (leaning forward toward Hammer, whispering) You fool! We'll pretend we're here for a rescue and then get rid of her at our first opportunity. It's regrettable, but we can't leave anyone alive behind, you know.
KOS-MOS: I'm going to get right to the point. Please make a gate jump for the second Miltia right now.
MATHEWS: (looking up at KOS-MOS) Hah, little sister. If that was sleep talking, then say it in a bed. We still have "work" to do here. Can't we start on that immediately? It would be such a gift. As for second Miltia, do you know just how much it costs, other than it's long distance travel?
KOS-MOS: Don't worry. If it's the fee for the UMN gate, "we" have it.
MATHEWS: Can I trust such indecent talk? Even if for argument's sake what you say is true, we are held up by business prearrangments. We have no free time, no free time.
KOS-MOS: I too have no time. If you do not follow my instructions, I will destroy this window.
MATHEWS: (mad, waving his right index finger at KOS-MOS) Heh. If you can do it, just you try. (KOS-MOS launches off from the window...) Elsa's front window was made to sustain a direct hit by a debris 6 millimeter in diameter. (KOS-MOS stands up) Something like little sister's soft punch can't even make a crack-----
(KOS-MOS punches the front window and makes severe cracks in it.)
KOS-MOS: The window will break in my next punch. You apparently are not wearing your spacesuits. (Hammer is hiding behind his seat) Here is my "good faith" proposal. As it stands now, I can occupy the ship after releasing you guys into space.
(Mathews looks back at KOS-MOS, contemplating what to do next. KOS-MOS quietly lifts her right hand.)
MATHEWS: (arms stretched out in fear) ----- Wow. We'll go. We'll go. Yes, don't be irritated.
KOS-MOS: If you had simply complied from the start, this could have been settled in 1 minute and 45 seconds without waste of time. (Mathews has his left hand behind his back, moving to give a special signal) Now, I will get aboard. Please open the cargo bay.
MATHEWS: (still shaking his hand behind his back) Understood.
KOS-MOS: Or...
(Tonny sees Mathew's signal.)
MATHEWS: Wha, what?
(Tonny reaches for a trigger.)
KOS-MOS: Do not contemplate something like trying to shake me off by making the ship undergo emergency acceleration.
(Mathews emits a groan.)
HAMMER: (nodding his head) She completely saw through you.
MATHEWS: (tilting his cap, shaking his head) Shut up.
(KOS-MOS leaps off the front window. Her coffin catches up with her as she thrusts toward the back of the ship where the cargo bay is located.)
{LONG PAUSE}
(We find KOS-MOS standing in front of Mathews.)
HAMMER: (leaning back, facing Mathews) Hey, Captain. A communication is coming in on the all-use channel.
MATHEWS: Communication? Survivors?
HAMMER: Yes----- Switching over to the speakers now.
MALE VOICE: Excuse me---------- Isn't there anybody out there?---
(We see the drifting escape pod surrounded by debris. Andrew is clinging on tightly for life.)
ALLEN: Anybody? Anyone listening to this communication, somebody please help----. Hey boss, you (help) too.
SHION: (sitting in the front seat) We'll be all right. Soon enough rescue will come even if you don't do THAT. Hey, more importantly, I wonder where is that KOS-MOS?-----
ALLEN: I don't know. As it is, maybe the Gnosis is still around.
SHION: That's not what I'm concerned about now. We must recover KOS-MOS quickly.
ALLEN: (placing his left hand on some trackball-looking controller) More important than KOS-MOS is our rescue. Our rescue! Ah, if we get stuck like this, won't we be letting everyone go ahead of us------ I wonder if they're still close by------ What do you think?
SHION: I can't believe it----- Allen, why were you able to stay so calm earlier, despite what had happened-----
(Back on the Elsa, the crew and KOS-MOS listen in on the conversation.)
ALLEN'S VOICE: I, I'm shocked. It's quite mortifying. To have you say it in such a way----- Ah, it's shocking. I'm definitely shocked----- For you to have thought of me like some cold and callous android-----
SHION'S VOICE: Now, nobody is saying such a thing.
ALLEN'S VOICE: You said it. You think that I'm an android.
MATHEWS: (listening, leaning against Hammer's console) What is this---
KOS-MOS walks over to the console and rudely imposes herself and presses a button.
MATHEWS: He, Hey!
KOS-MOS: Shion.
(A video image of KOS-MOS, Mathews, and Hammer pops up on Shion's display.)
SHION: KOS-MOS. (Image of Shion appears on Elsa's bridge display) Where are you now?
KOS-MOS: Inside a passing civilian ship. Please live with that condition for a while. I expect a Federation rescue ship will come soon.
SHION: A while----- KOS-MOS, what do you intend to do?
KOS-MOS: Using this ship, I'm heading for Second Miltia. It's my instruction from the company.
ALLEN: (appearing on the screen) Heading out----- Wa, wait just a minute. What about us?
KOS-MOS: While regrettable, there was no instruction concerning you. The status quo takes priority.
ALLEN: Well, what? You'll have us patiently wait here for help?
KOS-MOS: That is how it will turn out.
ALLEN: Wait. There's no guarantee that somehow a Federation rescue ship will come to a dead space like this remote region. If it doesn't come, won't we starve to death inside this pod? Hey, I'm declining that idea.
KOS-MOS: Before that happens, the oxygen will run out, and you'll die of suffocation. That will happen about 46 hours from now.
ALLEN: What!----- Su, suffocation.
KOS-MOS: Yes. However, the probability of a rescue ship coming within 15 hours is 96%, so you will surely be rescued before that happens. Yet, I cannot confirm that.
ALLEN: S, so-----
SHION: No. There's no way you can be allowed to act on your own. Please admit us to your ship.
KOS-MOS: There is no time. I am cutting our transmission. Take care, Shion and Allen.
SHION: Please wait, KOS-MOS. (her hand on switch) If you don't admit us, I'll open the pod's hatch right now. Okay?
ALLEN: Wha, what are you doing, boss? Don't act foolishly.
SHION: Allen, shut up. Okay, KOS-MOS. You know what will happen if I make this lever turn, don't you? Aren't you getting anxious? Shouldn't you be making sure we're kept alive?...
(KOS-MOS stares at Shion with a blank look, as if she's processing the data.)
KOS-MOS: You will not be keeping company with me. Please do it. (KOS-MOS walks away)
SHION: KOS-MOS, you don't believe me at all, do you? I'm serious.
(Shion activates the lever, and the alarm goes off aboard the escape pod.)
ALLEN: You're really turning it----
(A voice is heard behind KOS-MOS, making her look back.)
VOICE: How about giving her some help.
(A young man with silvery hair leisurely steps onto the bridge, yawning and stretching.)
YOUNG MAN: She seems serious.
MATHEWS: Yo, Chaos. You're awake.
CHAOS: Who can sleep with all this noise going on.
(In her mind, KOS-MOS process information on Chaos. Chaos walks briskly over to KOS-MOS, after speaking with Mathews. He puts his right hand on her shoulder.)
CHAOS: Well, okay? She doesn't seem to have any objections, so then we just need the captain's approval----- How about it, captain? I too am asking you as a favor.
MATHEWS: (smoking a cigarette) Ah. If you say it's okay, I don't care.
(Chaos waves to Tonny.)
CHAOS: Tonny.
(Elsa heads out toward the escape pod, opens its forward bay door, and picks it up. Then, we see Shion on the bridge aboard the ship.)
SHION: (bowing down) Excuse us.
(Shion, Allen, and Andrew step aboard the bridge and slowly walk toward Mathews.)
SHION: H, hi----
MATHEWS: (offering his hand) I'm captain Mathews.
SHION: (shaking Mathews' hand) I'm Shion Uzuki, from Vector Industry's first development office. (looking toward Allen) This is Allen Ridgely from my office. I'm sorry. On account of our firm's inflexible KOS-MOS, we have troubled you. Oh, Allen also has something to say.
ALLEN: Ah, yes. Yes, you have really helped. Thanks to my inflexible superior, I was close to dangerously perish among the space rubbish----- (Shion inflicts some pain on Allen) ----- Ouch!
(We see Shion's right foot stepping on Allen left foot.)
MATHEWS: If you want to say thanks, you should say it to Chaos here. We were planning on deserting you guys.
SHION: Is that so---- (Shion walks over to Chaos, picks up his left hand, and holds it between hers) Thank you, Chaos.
CHAOS: It's all right. If I was in trouble, you'd do the same for me.
MATHEWS: Well, thanks to Chaos here, we have been very much saved before. So, I cannot refuse his request.
SHION: Is that so? That is so--- (turning to KOS-MOS) Just a second, KOS-MOS. What the hell are you doing? After deserting us, you're going to Second Miltia alone----- Isn't your loaded OS already activated?
KOS-MOS: -----That may be so.
SHION: Well, incidentally, what is the company's instruction?
KOS-MOS: (turning toward Mathews) Captain Mathews, I want to borrow a fitting room in a hanger.
SHION: Wait, KOS-MOS.
MATHEWS: Ah, I don't care. Whatever you do is fine with me, KOS-MOS.
KOS-MOS: With the experimental condenser, my energy is getting used up because of all the battles. To reload, we will install a bypass from the generator.
SHION: (mad) Look, please answer to people's questions, KOS-MOS.
MATHEWS: Okay if I demand a fee?
KOS-MOS: Yes.
SHION: (interrupting) KOS-
KOS-MOS: (cutting Shion off) Shion.
SHION: (surprised) Ye, yes.
KOS-MOS: There seems to be a irregularity in my sensor. Please adjust it during the time before we arrive at our destination.
SHION: Wha, why I-----
KOS-MOS: This is your job, isn't it? I'm entrusting it to you, Shion.
(KOS-MOS walks off and heads for the door. Shion drops her head and gives out a sigh. She then turns to Mathews.)
SHION: I'm really sorry. I'm sorry to trouble you; that kid is terribly inflexible.
CHAOS: No. I'm enjoying myself. With more crews, this ship is bound to become very lively.
TONNY: (walking by) Sure. Elsa has been in a 10,000-year-long woman drought. (putting his arm around Shion) How about it? After we arrive at our destination, let's have some wine in a hotel suite...
ALLEN: (jealous) Ah, ah. Ah, ah---
SHION: (not knowing how to respond) W, well----- Sure-----
MATHEWS: Behave yourself now, Tonny. But, as for woman (aboard this ship)... Aside from Miss Uzuki, THAT (referring to KOS-MOS) is an "inhuman", fighting machine.
CHAOS: I wonder... To me, she doesn't seem that much different from some "humans".
ANDREW: (walking down a ramp) Captain, was this ship heading for Seniru?
MATHEWS: We're en route to Koram---. We're about 3 days away from Ataria. We can drop you off if we stop there.
ANDREW: Is that so? And the fee-----
MATHEWS: With the way things have gone down, today is free. If you want though, I haven't had a decent experience today. How about a bribe?
ANDREW: I'd call that a fee.
MATHEWS: What? It's like the Navy I saw. (turning to look at a spot in space) It's a goodwill gesture for my old haunt-----
(A Gnosis leaps down on the ship to everyone's surprise.)
HAMMER: (backing off) G, G, G, Gno, Gno-----
SHION: Gnosis!
ALLEN: Just as I thought. They were still around.
(Gnosis passes right through the window.)
ANDREW: It, it's coming through. You, you bastard! (he fires his pistol)
(The shots just go right through it and bounce around the bridge. It grabs Andrew's head and begins to drain his life from him.)
MATHEWS: Chaos!
CHAOS: Understood.
(Chaos walks right up to the Gnosis.)
SHION: Chaos!
CHAOS: (turning to look at Shion) It's okay.
(Just as the Gnosis prepares to grab onto him, Chaos thrusts his right hand forward and freezes the monster. Shion looks on in amazement. Chaos just lightly touches the Gnosis' arm, and a sparkling wave spreads right through it and dissolves it. Andrew falls to the ground, gasping for air.)
SHION: The Gnosis...
ALLEN: Wha, what did you do just now?
MATHEWS: Well, that is one of the reasons why we're safe.
SHION: The reason. How did you do that? What people can dissolve the Gnosis?
CHAOS: (walking toward Shion) If there are people who are good at drawing pictures, then there are people good at making things disappear. Look, Hammer's talent as a navigator is first-class, and his knowledge about the net is abundant. Tonny's piloting skill is the best in the universe; there's no one comparable to him. He's self-styled, though. (turning toward the captain) As for the captain--- The captain has more debt than anybody.
MATHEWS: Ah, ah, yes--- (realizing he's been insulted) ----- Hey, what's the deal?
CHAOS: There's something special about everyone. I expect there to be "something" that one can define oneself. Shion, I wonder if you can be defined by something.
SHION: (surprised) Well, for me----- I...
CHAOS: That's how it's like in my case. It's probably just that.
TONNY: Yes, it's just that.
SHION: Ah, is that so? I guess so. If you put it that way, I can vaguely understand it.
HAMMER: (nodding) That's the case.
ALLEN: Is that so----- Huh? (waking up from Chaos' lame reason) But, boss, can you really agree with that? It's the Gnosis. Gnosis!
CHAOS: (speaking to Mathews) Well, captain. We must not head for our destination before they can be tossed back into space. It would seem very "dry" of us to leave her here.
MATHEWS: Ah, after this matter has been settled and the debt returned, it's my splendid plan to fly to Keltia and try to see the voluptuously charming and energetic live performance of the "Spice Sisters"-----
TONNY: No, our repayment to master Gaignun is utterly unreasonable. It's just too much. But, wait. Captain, you like the Spice Sisters too?
HAMMER: Captain, even if you can't especially go to Keltia, isn't it okay to just receive on UMN and watch it later?
MATHEWS: (waving around his picture of Spice Sisters) You, you idiot! The only thing that is sent in the visual field is merely the information. You have to compare it to the actual persons that are literally scorching directly into your eyes. (What you're saying) is just hot air. The point is that it's a matter of reality.
TONNY: They're with you either way. It's all inside your brain. You can't tell.
MATHEWS: (waving Tonny off) Be quiet--- Let's get this ship going right now.
TONNY: (walking back to his pilot's seat) Yes, sir. Understood. Understood.
CHAOS: Well then, I'll show Shion and the others around the ship.
SHION: I hope you'll look after us.
MATHEWS: Oh, you do that, Chaos. Today has been an REALLY unlucky day.
(Elsa flies off.)
(At the presidential office at Vector Industry's headquarters.)
A VOICE: Mr. Wilhelm, I have a report from KOS-MOS. It seems that Shion Uzuki and Allen Ridgely are traveling with KOS-MOS.
WILHELM: Is that so.
MAN IN RED CLOAK: It's fortunate if you think how that ship with unknown registry was already closing in on the battlefield.
WILHELM: For argument's sake, if they became a threat to her, KOS-MOS will protect her. That's so.
MAN: Yes, we've made that a priority over all her directives.
WILHELM: In any case. It was wise of us to let them salvage KOS-MOS. There is no need for her to serve more than this, against an army or him. The data on the Maiden of Rhine was completely loaded. This entire matter will progress in a way the system's compass points to. Afterwards----- complete the necessary factor, and wait for another one to wake up-----
{SAVE POINT}
(A planet is first surrounded by light, and then slowly, beams of light burn right thru the planet's surface. Ultimately, it's completely consumed by the light. Finally, the planet shrinks, explodes, and disintegrates. We see a blonde woman.)
MAN'S VOICE: Merely 1,500,000,000. (the man walks up to the blonde) What are these numbers?
WOMAN: Innocent people. They should be things that we, quite naturally, respect.
MAN: What respect? You're sounding like a philanthropist. The experiment was certainly a failure, but I'll clap my hands for the Emulator's retrieval. At a moment of crisis, I wouldn't care to use the original. The point is that we had better repeat (these experiments) until we get the results. You look as if your conscience cannot bear to be patient. If so, won't it be better if you yourself made an official announcement and wait to be convicted?
WOMAN: It's just like you.
MAN: Don't make me laugh at a fellow low-class person. We are both standing at a place that pronounces our equal criminal conviction. Or----- Pellegri, are you saying that in these 14 years you forgot our goal?
(Pellegri looks down)
SOLDIER: Commander Margulis.
MARGULIS: What is it?
SOLDIER: I have a report from major Vanderkaum, a survivor from the advance troop. The squad was annihilated, and they failed to secure the Zohar Emulator.
MARGULIS: Where is Zohar now?
SOLDIER: Unknown, but it's possible that the Gnosis snatched it.
MARGULIS: Is that so? Notify special service fleet #474. We may have to go to plan 31. Have the fleet wait at the appropriate spatial grid until further order.
SOLDIER: Yes, sir.
(an orbiting station)
Federation Home Planet 5th Jerusalem, Orbiting Tower
(We see a room with 7 seats arranged in a circle. With the chairman of the sub- committee at the center seat (Man #1), here is the description of the members from left to right:)
Man #2 (man with green hair) Man #4 (smoking man) Man #5 (old man) Man #1 (chairman) Woman #1 (woman w/ black hair) Man #3 (man with plate) Woman #2 (woman w/ brown hair)
MAN #1 By the way, what sort of character is this man?
MAN #2 He was a member of a special unit belonging to the old Federation police force. He specialized in counter-terrorism. However, this was more than 100 years ago, and now, as a dedicated cyborg, he performs various jobs.
MAN #1 Cyborgs are old style.
WOMAN #1 He is a relic of a time when we resurrected dead people and re-used them. Back then, we didn't have the disposable Realiens that we have now.
MAN #3 (holding a green plate) Isn't that quite a enormous personal history?-----
MAN #2 Rumor says he's a man who always hopes for jobs with low probabilities of success.
MAN #4 Is he an eccentric? Or, is he a battle maniac?
MAN #2 Psychiatrically speaking, he is normal, and it seems that he doesn't like killing people.
MAN #5 Hum. Along with scientific developments, many medical institutions are like drug store shelves for several centuries now. The only ones that exert any influence now are psychiatrists. I can't trust them to just quibble for the sake of this survivor.
MAN #5 His mission accomplishment rate is extremely high. I can give my nod to his recommendation.
(A message arrives on a video panel.)
MESSAGE: I've brought him.
MAN #1 Enter.
(A door opens in the middle of the floor. The elevator brings a man and the visual image of the secretary.)
MAN #1 That's all.
IMAGE OF SECRETARY: Yes. Excuse me.
MAN #3 You're Ziggurat 8. After dying on T. C. 4667, on your dying wish, you dedicated your body to Ziggurat Industry.
ZIGGURAT 8 That's correct.
MAN #1 Were you listening to this talk?
ZIGGURAT 8 No.
MAN #4 Recently, we received information that says there are signs of a resurrection of a armed organization. It's the organization that caused that incident from 14 years ago.
ZIGGURAT 8 The U-TIC organization.
MAN #5 Yes. From the information we personally gathered, we have determined where the U-TIC organization is hiding.
(All the seats turn to face the large monitor behind Ziggurat 8. On the screen, a large object is shown.)
MAN #3 It seems to function as a church for an ancient religion from the old century. After it was abandoned, it was unoccupied for several centuries until now.
ZIGGURAT 8 Then you're asking me to infiltrate there and collect information-----
MAN #3 It's better to leave that sort of work to the intelligence department.
MAN #1 The truth is----- To say it simply----- We want you to rescue someone and swiftly deliver her to a suitable place. Um, if I say it accurately, it's a THING, not a person-----
ZIGGURAT 8 Please be concise.
(Woman with black hair snickers. Man #1 urges her on. She pushes a few buttons, and the screen displays who he's suppose to rescue.)
ZIGGURAT: A child----- Is she a civilian?
MAN #3 She's a Realien. A 100-Type Realien. Do you know it?
ZIGGURAT 8 100-Type----- I have heard a rumor that they're observational Realiens that were especially manufactured for the Gnosis. However, I never thought that they had a child's disguise.
MAN #3 Is this your first time seeing the real thing?
ZIGGURAT 8 Yes. However, I suppose they're already in the mass production phase at Vector.
MAN #3 This is the prototype.
MAN #5 She is the original model that became the mold for all the 100-Type's.
ZIGGURAT 8 In short, that' why the protection of this girl takes priority over the entire matter.
MAN #5 So, you understand and will help.
MAN #1 Yes, can you take this mission?
ZIGGURAT 8 There are no human rights for dedicated cyborgs. I don't have the right to refuse. As for the necessary weapons and resources, after I have analyzed the circumstances----- (pauses for a second) I will tell you my fee, but would it be all right for me to make one request?
MAN #5 Tell us.
ZIGGURAT 8 After my return, I want to remove the fragments of memory from my past life, the ones that remain in my living brain.
MAN #5 It doesn't matter to me, but if you're old-styled, a complete purge may be difficult.
ZIGGURAT 8 Replacing it (the brain) with an artificial part will do.
MAN #1 It's a strange demand. Today, we have Realiens insisting on human rights and people becoming machines. I've decided. Let's make the arrangements.
ZIGGURAT 8 Thank you.
(MAN #1, who appears to be the sub-committee's chairman, points to the woman to his left.)
WOMAN #1 Later, for more details, refer them to her (pointing to the woman #2, one sitting in the last seat on Ziggy's right) Professor Yuri Mizrahi.
(Ziggy nods for Professor Yuri Mizrahi. The elevator descends, and the door closes behind it.)
YURI MIZRAHI: Indeed----- He is not one to die at his post. The cause of his death seems to be suicide. One shot to his head with his favorite handgun.
MAN #5 Suicide? Is it good to entrust the 100-Type to such a man? What would we do if his suicidal tendency surfaced?
YURI MIZRAHI: Don't worry. He is prohibited from self-destructive behavior and mission abandonment. A safety is installed.
(Yuri Mizrahi turns her seat around and gets up. She walks to a window and places her right hand on the rail.)
YURI MIZRAHI: He was revived against his will. He will completely become a machine if his remaining biological brain is replaced by an artificial part. Then, for the first time, he will be legally "dead".
(We're back to U-TIC's headquarter. We see Margulis entering a prison cell. Inside, there's a little girl with red hair and pony tails.)
MARGULIS: How are you doing, 100-Type Realien? (turning to his left and looks at some food on a tray, which is still untouched) Are you unsatisfied with the food here? Realiens need supplies too. Can you be so well-mannered that you can't reply, Federation's 100-Type Realien?
GIRL: I hate that name-----
MARGULIS: Indeed. My apologies. What do you want to be called, 100-Type Realien girl?
GIRL: I don't want to be called by someone I don't know well. Where do you plan on taking me?
MARGULIS: (leaning against the table and crossing his arms) It's not a place you know.
GIRL: What's going to happen to me?
MARGULIS: You'll become helpful to us. The life of a machine is designed to serve. As your fate after that, it may be at a place that only God knows. Though, a conversation about the existence of God with you Realiens-----
GIRL: I cannot find anything other than Gnosis. So, I'm no help to you.
MARGULIS: May be so. (pointing to his head) However, you're different up "here". We have some use for your "man up here". (Girl stands to attention) What is it? While we can put you to use, we'll keep you alive. Soon, "the fellow" will arrive.
(He turns and walks out of the cell. The girl sits down and contemplates.)
GIRL: Mama----- I want to return to the research lab-----
(A spaceship approaches the U-TIC headquarter and enters undetected. It's 46 hours later. Two soldiers walks out of the ship after docking. Just as the ship is about to take off again, the silhouette of Ziggy jumps out from the ship and lands.)
ZIGGURAT 8 Now...... This time, the mission is the rescue of a 100-Type Realien. The question is where she is kept...... Until I discover my target, I don't want to cause any commotion. It's probably better to avoid careless battles.
3.2: ASTEROID PLEROMA
Summary: When Ziggy and MOMO duck into the monitoring room, she asks his name. He tells her Ziggurat8, but she says that doesn't sound like a human name, and asks if she can call him Ziggy. He flashes back to a boy receiving a robot dog from his dad. Presumably, the child is Ziggy's, and this is a memory from Ziggy's life as a human. The boy asks if the dog has a name yet, and the Dad says, Nexus6. The boy says it sounds too much like a robot and calls it Nex. Ziggy then tells MOMO that she can call him Ziggy if she likes.
3.3: ELSA
3.4: GNOSIS MOTHERSHIP
From the time Shion shows up in the Gnosis Mothership til the Durandal appears to rescue the Elsa.
____3.4.1: Enter the Gnosis___ Starting from when you depart the Dock Colony, as translated by Henry.
(Elsa disengages from a terminal at Dock Colony and prepares to resume her journey to Second Miltia.)
(We see Andrew toss and turn in the lower bunk of a double-bunked bed. In his nightmare, he witnesses a vision, a flash of the moment when he was picked up by the Gnosis. Andrew then wakes up in cold sweat.)
(Trying to find some relief, Andrew gets a cup of coffee (or its equivalent) from a vending machine. Suddenly, his right hand begins to shake. Then, as it goes limp, Andrew experiences some shock or convulsion. He falls to the ground, still short of breath and gasping for air. Then, his hand seems to disappear right before his eyes. In pain, his drug delivery/injection device drops to the ground and rolls down a couple of stairs. His vision blurs as he tries to find some comfort.)
(A flash of an image of Zohar.)
(Afterwards, we find Shion taking a nap with her U.M.N. in her hands. She lays it on the sofa, shutting off the device.)
A VOICE: -----on----- -----Shion----- -----Shion----- Shion.
(Shion opens her eyes, and to her surprise, there is a little girl in a white dress. It's the same one she saw earlier. The fog clears.)
GIRL IN WHITE DRESS: It just won't do-----anymore-----
SHION: (taking a couple of steps toward the girl) Who are you? It won't do----- What in the world won't do?
GIRL IN WHITE DRESS: Which is selected depends on him-----, but it may be that, you, you can understand the feeling of his death. (Suddenly, there is a bright light.) That is tranquility for him----------
(Shion awakes and stands up just when the ship comes under attack. She rushes out the door. We see Elsa flying through hyperspace, but something is wrong. Shion rushes onto the bridge.)
SHION: What, what's happening?
KOS-MOS: A powerful force is acting against the ship from outside the hyperspace.
MOMO: What's the matter?
KOS-MOS: Someone---- is trying to contact us. As things stand, we will be returning to normal space.
MOMO: This, this sensation-----
(MOMO looks at her hands as they emit a strange glow. Shion also notices the same thing with her hands.)
SHION: What?-----
(Elsa falls out of hyperspace. Everyone stares out of Elsa's front window.)
SHION: -----Gnosis!
(The entire space around them is full of Gnosis.)
MATHEWS: What's happening? Hey, do we have transition co-ordinates?
HAMMER: N, No----- That-----
TONNY: That's an amazing number (of Gnosis)-----
SHION: KOS-MOS, deploy super-wide-area Hilbert Effect!
(KOS-MOS's goggle clamps down, and she activates her super-wide-field Hilbert Effect.)
MOMO: In, Incredible----- Even with an amplifier system, a field with 100 kilometer radius is my interference limit-----
TONNY: Captain, the helm is ineffective.
CHAOS: We're being pulled by an unusual gravitational field.
MATHEWS: What?
(Elsa drifts closer and closer to one of the larger Gnosis.)
---
(Shion regains consciousness.)
SHION: Where----- Where am I-----? (She turns to face the others. Chaos walks toward her.)
SHION: Everyone-----
CHAOS: It's good to see you're okay.
SHION: Chaos, you're here too.
CHAOS: Well, if I remember correctly, we were all surrounded by this light, and then-- ---
MOMO: Please wait----- This feeling----- (She looks around) I'm sure of it. This is the inside of a Gnosis.
SHION: The inside of a Gnosis----- Huh?
KOS-MOS: To be precise, this is a spot close to the approximate center of a giant Gnosis. The size of this Gnosis is about 16,000 kilometers across. According to our observations to date, we have not discovered a Gnosis larger than this except for a type known as "the Sanctuary Ship".
SHION: Impossible! Were we swallowed up?
CHAOS: Our circumstance may be close that-----
MOMO: I can't sense active response from the Gnosis on the outside. It's as if they are asleep----- Yes. How about Elsa? Where are the captain and the others?
ZIGGY: I want to think that they're like us, somewhere inside this Gnosis, but-----
(KOS-MOS steps forward.)
SHION: What is it, KOS-MOS?
KOS-MOS: There is a response on my sensor-----
SHION: A response? Surely, it's the Elsa?
KOS-MOS: Yes. Other than that (Elsa), there is one more object nearby. While the signal is weak, I have acquired response that closely resembled the waveform of Zohar, the object stolen from Woglinde.
SHION: Zohar's waveform? That golden object kept in the housing warehouse? That is here?
ZIGGY: What's the distance to Elsa?
KOS-MOS: The direct distance from here is about 10 kilometers.
ZIGGY: That is close-----
SHION: Outside is space----- I'm worried about Allen and others-----
CHAOS: (nods) Let's get going.
---
(We see Andrew walking alone and feeling his way around.)
ANDREW: (scared) How foolish----- Am I dreaming? It can't be----- At that time, Ariadne----- (We see an image of Zohar.) was an injury that disappeared with the Zohar overload accident.
(We see a planet implode. Then, Andrew stands in the middle of a street bustling with people. He takes a good look around.)
ANDREW: Impossible-----
(A girl with red shirt and white skirt walks in front of him. Andrew walks briskly toward her. Suddenly, everyone disappears, leaving a strange door standing upright and casting its long shadow. Andrew walks up to the door, opens it, and looks inside to see shooting.)
(We see the image of a boy, then a man, standing among the ruins.)
---
(Aboard the Kookai Foundation's Durandal, an alarm sounds on the bridge.)
BRIDGE WORKER: Official warning announcement in Area D. Abnormal waves are detected from the isolation hanger.
(Jr. arrives on the bridge via an elevator.)
JR. Area D? Is it Zohar?-----
BRIDGE WORKER: Area D, increase output of the attract inhibitor of every hanger. There's UMN traffic on EPR radar. I will make resonance waves emanate through hyperspace.
JR. Where is it?
(Jr. walks up to Shelly, who is working hard at her console.)
SHELLY: I'm detecting the source of the response.
JR. It's resonating with Zohar. Prepare to make the gate jump. (turning right) Mary, report to the Foundation. We'll follow Zohar.
MARY: Understood.
3.4.2: At the Mall
Starting from when you arrive at the mall, as translated by Henry.
ZIGGY: "the Sanctuary Ship"?----- It really feels as if we're inside a ship. However, no matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem like a Federation ship-----
MOMO: It must be an alien spaceship.
SHION: I wonder how (this is possible)----- (Shion, Ziggy, and Chaos pause in their tracks. Shion points to something.) Look there.
(They see a sign with "Ariadne Central Shopping Mall" written on it.)
MOMO: This is our language.
SHION: But, it's strange. The sign, rather than stabbing into the wall, is actually part of the length of the wall.
MOMO: So, is this plate a part of Gnosis? Impossible-----
CHAOS: Take a good look around. (We see another plate with a picture of fish and the word "fish?" written on it.) It's not just this plate. There are many others.
SHION: Is this really the inside of a Gnosis?-----
(There's an image flash: Black-and-white image of the girl that Shion saw earlier.)
SHION: (shocked by the image) Huh?
ZIGGY: Did you discover something?
SHION: Eh, Um, Ummm. It's nothing----- (Thinking to herself: "That kid again----- What in the world is this place---- -")
---
(We see Andrew walking again. Then, there's another change in scene. We see a central podium surrounded by seats in a huge hall. As you'll find out, it's a courtroom.)
FEMALE VOICE #1 ----- The motive of the accused is yet unknown. Was he distracted by the confusion of war? Or was he "forced to be distracted"? To put things in perspective, (We see a blonde woman) this in fact shows a case where one can say that the accused himself also is a victim of the Life Recyle Law. (we see Andrew standing in the central podium) Would it be good to turn this poor soul into the first victim of our capital punishment system, one that has been in effect for several thousand years? Certainly, the accused must atone for the crime he committed. However, shouldn't our divergent types of atonement policies have been born out of human consciousness and scientific development? How about making a generous or wise judgement?
MALE VOICE: ----- Our courtroom decides to sentence the accused, Andrew Cherenkoff, to undergo the 7th type personality correction treatment.
FEMALE VOICE #2 With this treatment, the person that you know as yourself will no longer exist. However, that will also be the birth of your new world. Let's bless this (new start).
(The Hebrew letter "aleph" appears on Andrew's forehead.)
---
(We see the blonde woman from the courtroom [female voice #1] standing near a room's entrance. Andrew walks up to her, holding up a document.)
ANDREW: (angry) What's the meaning of this? (The words "Notice of Cloning Procedure Completion" are written on the document. On the right side of the screen, we see in Japanese text "Notice of Self-Cloning Completion") Why is it hopeless for us to have a kid?
BLONDE: (laughing) Stop it. Are you saying that you want something returned? Well, I never! They're just genes that caused that abnormality. Don't say such things! Nano- technology isn't all-powerful. It can't compensate for genomic diversity.
ANDREW: But, you said to me there was a reason?
BLONDE: How disgraceful. You were given life because of your nucleic acids. It was natural for you to be the way you were at that time. It's because of this "thing" (gene, nucleic acids) that creates you.
ANDREW: Then, why're you with me-----
BLONDE: For the sake of this. For the sake of getting your permission. For what do you think I have worked for all this while? "Volunteer. VO-LUN-TEER." I've had enough of this joke of your thinking that there's romance between us. (She picks up a headphone) I've had enough of that now. (tossing it at his head. The headphone bounces off and lands on the ground) (walking right past the headphone) Don't fail to take your control medicine regularly, okay? I'm the one that gets asked about supervisory responsibility (over you)-----
(She stands in the bedroom. He walks toward her, stepping on the headphone. One moment, she turns to face him; the next, she's dead on the ground.)
(We see an image of Andrew getting locked up in a cell. The door slams.)
MALE VOICE: In accordance to Federation laws, you will undergo the 8th personality correction treatment. Through this, the accused number 12584 will be deprived of individual rights. From now on, the accused will be branded as a living organism under the jurisdiction of the Federation. This measure means that you (the accused) will have qualifications equivalent to those of Realiens as described in our present law.
(Andrew receives the aleph on his forehead.)
---
(Central Tower Ariadne. We see Andrew walking among busy pedestrians. Then, he sees a girl with short blonde hair. Suddenly, she is seen as the blonde woman that Andrew killed. He realizes it was all in his imagination.)
(Andrew stops her. She looks up at his face.)
GIRL: Trash-----
(Andrew screams. We see him picking her off the ground, perhaps killing her. Then, he again winds up in a jail cell.)
MALE VOICE #1 However,----- I have not seen a stable network up to now.
MALE VOICE #2 Did he not receive the 8th correction therapy?
MALE VOICE #3 Anyway, his life is precious to us. First of all, as a sample for the 9th correction-----
(Oddly, the door opens. Outside the facility, the grounds are littered with dead bodies. A spaceship appears and touches down. We see Andrew sitting silently among the bodies.)
MALE VOICE: I heard that a single man completely slaughtered all the personnel here and three squads of the Federation Police's special unit, so I was looking forward to see what sort of man he is.----- You look as if you're some abandoned puppy. Did you really do all this?
(Andrew turns to face the man. It's Margulis, putting on a smile. Andrew makes a leap at him, but Margulis amazingly jumps aside.)
MARGULIS: Is it due to mutations caused by Life Recyling, as expected?----- Well then, that's why the Federation Police suffered under those hands. That is worthy of praise. However,-----
(Andrew makes another attack, and this time Margulis takes a jab at Andrew's throat. Andrew lays on the ground, rolls over, and gasps for air.)
MARGULIS: So, in reality, that's what you're like------
SOLDIER: (walking up to Margulis) Commander Margulis, the number 308 field troops of Wilgarta-----
MARGULIS: Understood. We'll take him with us.
SOLDIER: You're surely not serious?
MARGULIS: Ah, he will become something (useful for us).
SOLDIER: Is that so-----
MARGULIS: (kneeing before Andrew) You just wanted to return your existence back among the people. (offering his hand) Isn't that right?
(Andrew looks up at Margulis as if he's seeing an angel.)
MARGULIS: Show me the proof that you exist--- Show me.
---
(Andrew continues to walk around the giant Gnosis...)
3.4.3: Showdown with Andrew
(The party arrives in a hanger. The door closes behind them.)
CHAOS: Shion, look at that. (pointing to Zohar)
SHION: -----Zohar.
KOS-MOS: Let's go. (walking past Shion and toward Zohar)
SHION: Ah, wait a second, KOS-MOS. (You) can't always do as you please----- Now, I don't remember raising such a child-----
(KOS-MOS stares at Zohar.)
SHION: For all that, why is Zohar here?-----
KOS-MOS: Results of verification. With a 99.0000% probability, this object matches the Zohar Emulator loaded on Woglinde.
SHION: Emulator? So, there is a real thing?
KOS-MOS: Yes.
SHION: Yes-----? (continuing) KOS-MOS, why do you know such things? I don't suppose such information was entered into your main (memory) bank.
MALE VOICE: Al----- Although you're its developer, you didn't know----- that fact-----?-----
(It's Andrew.)
SHION: (rushing to his side) Commander Andrew. You're okay. Let's escape quickly-----
(Andrew is disappearing.)
SHION: (stepping back) Commander----- Your body is-----
ANDREW: Escape? What are you saying? Do you think I will even survive in such a condition?----- (walking toward Zohar) Yes----- The person who blew up planet Ariadne was no one else. It was I. If I can secure the Emulator, then that was just fine with me. For the sake of the Emulator, the Federation Forces and Vector were both chased away. It was tomfoolery----- afterall. Although----- Although----- (looking up, apparently surprised by something) (waving his arms as if to shake it off) Stay, stay away. Don't----- Don't come inside of me. You guys rejected me, and you should reject me under such condition----- (A Gnosis is about to strike Andrew) Stop-----------
SHION: (shocked) Wha, What is that?-----
KOS-MOS: Photon, Lepton, Hadron, Graviton. No response at all.
SHION: Well then, why can we see them?
(The energy particles converge on Andrew and raise him up.)
SHION: What the-----
MOMO: This sensation. It's Gnosis!
ZIGGY: (seeing the vision of a man) It's the same, like that time-----
(Andrew becomes a Gnosis monster. He is eventually defeated. Shion envisions Andrew and Margulis standing on the bridge of a ship.)
MARGULIS: Look. Look at the light unfolding before our eyes. Once, light symbolized culture, namely human will. However, what is it that we're witnessing here and now? It's a false light that will open the eyes of stagnant people----- people addicted to just personal gains and consumptions, people who tossed away their will to create for themselves.
SHION'S VOICE: Who is----- this man with the commander?-----
MARGULIS: The ones that were passing by you weren't human. They were simple leather bags packed with blood and flesh. Humans are human because they have wills. You did not try to say "no"- to resist that false light and be trapped by it. Therefore, isn't that why you did not receive the repeated character correction program?
SHION: Character correction program? Commander?
MARGULIS: People never learned that they were throwing away their birthright----- That was because these stupid leather bags had lost the lamplight to their wills. How about it, Andrew? Shouldn't we try to again light the pilot light to human will everywhere, on this ground and all the planets? For us and for "our God"-----
SHION: Great----- I've figured it out now. This is the commander's heart. Commander---- - What were you seeking?----- (white out)
(Fade in to a beach scene, where Andrew sits cross-legged and Shion stands not far behind.)
ANDREW: I did not exist from the very beginning----- It was 36 years ago, the year after the Tsoal Incident which, before long, was linked to the Miltia Dispute. I was born into this world as an instrument of war----- It was just a matter of fact. To destroy others was the meaning of my-- no-- our existence. Moreover, the guys who could adjust were fortunate. The guys who died in the battlefield were probably even more fortunate. However, that fate did not befall me. While I did not find at all the meaning of my own existence, the war soon came to an end. I was left behind from the world. I tried to adjust, but my "language" was different from the world's "language". I thought the world rejected me. The command----- made me necessary. I saw, no, I wanted to see my own future inside the command. So, that's probably what it was. For me to speak the world's "language", I regularly needed the power of drugs. It was because then I could stay "as I was" as long as I could. I understand that now. I was rejecting the world. (continuing) Shion,----- It's good "here". Here, only I exist. There's no one else. ----- There's no anger, no sorrow, no joy, and no future. There, ----- there is only "my own existence". That existence is going to dissolve soon----- This sensation is a good feeling-----. I----- was seeking----- this feeling------. Shion----- soon, you too----- will come here-----. You're certainly----- close-- ---- to me-----. I understand----- that-----.
(Andrew's Gnosis finally dies.)
MOMO: (walking up to Shion) ----- Miss Shion. (shaking her) Miss Shion.
SHION: (turning to MOMO) ----- That was----- Commander Andrew-----.
CHAOS: -----
(Shion sits on the ground, crying. Chaos walks over to her.)
CHAOS: (putting his hand on her shoulder) Shion.
SHION: (holding his hand) Well, Chaos, what was that just now? What did we do? Well?
MOMO: (turning to Ziggy) Ziggy, did something happen? Ziggy-----
ZIGGY: It's got nothing to do----- with you-----. Sorry-----
SHION: That was really the Commander. Tell me, Chaos. We just (killed) the commander.
CHAOS: Shion, there's endless happiness if you know the reality.
SHION: Chaos, will we----- become like the commander?-----
CHAOS: We're here. We're not becoming Gnosis. That is a fact. Come on. Stand up. (offering her a hand)
SHION: Yes.
(Shion gets up, and the ground shakes. KOS-MOS steps toward the Zohar, now giving off a golden glow.)
KOS-MOS: The ties that maintain the environmental phenomenon are dissolving. As it is, the space here will disappear. Danger.
ZIGGY: Really?
(Everyone floats up, and the Gnosis around them vanishes.)
MOMO: Please look over there.
(They see Elsa arriving with its searchlights on.)
MATHEWS: Hey, ladies! Are you still alive?
ALLEN: Boss! Are you okay~?
SHION: Captain. Allen.
(Elsa drops her entry gate so everyone can board. However, it's not all over yet. The rest of the Gnosis hoard begins to pursue Elsa.)
(On Elsa's Bridge)
HAMMER: They are in pursuit.
MATHEWS: Full speed ahead! Let's roll!
TONY: Aye, Sir!-----
(Suddenly, a hail of laser fires destroys the leading edge of a group of Gnosis attackers in pursuit.)
MATHEWS: What? (We see the Durandal) It's the Durandal!
(On Durandal's Bridge)
JR. That's right!
MARY: Little Lord, the ship's registry is confirmed to be Elsa's.
JR. -----Just what brought it here? What is its crew doing in such a place? Well, anyway. All guns, target the Gnosis. Annihilate them while ensuring a path of retreat for Elsa.
(Durandal fires lasers in every direction to destroy the Gnosis. Shion and the rest of her party are walking to Elsa's bridge.)
ZIGGY: It looks like it started.
SHION: Will it be all right? There seemed to be an enormous number of them, at least from what I saw when the giant Gnosis changed. They're the enemy that destroyed an entire Federation fleet. It is wiser to take flight than fight.
(Back aboard the Durandal)
MARY: "..."
JR. "..."
SHELLY: Little Lord, the enemy group has moved to our ship's 5-o'-clock position and completely surrounded us.
JR. Can I set us free? Working together as a group, (the Gnosis) it's a type that didn't exist until now. Even with a gate jump, if we wind up surrounded by them as expected-----
WORKER: Little Lord, enemy reinforcements are closing in on Elsa. As it stands-----
(Elsa is being pursued by a group of Gnosis. Shion and others arrive on the bridge.)
SHION: Captain.
MATHEWS: Oh, are you okay? Tonny, can we shake them off?
TONNY: It's impossible. The ones behind us are gaining speed.
MATHEWS: Damn! The Durandal's guns don't seem to be having any effect. How should we proceed-----?
KOS-MOS walks past a door and ascends on an elevator.
HAMMER: Huh? (observing KOS-MOS opening a hatch) Hatch #7 is opening. Who is still here?
SHION: It's KOS-MOS. That kid.
HAMMER: She's on the monitor. (bringing her on the monitor)
SHION: KOS-MOS. KOS-MOS. KOS-MOS. What are you doing? Please come back. You can't defeat that number of Gnosis. You're not equipped with that sort of capability.
KOS-MOS: Shion, -----Will pain make me complete?
SHION: What? Can't you hear me?
HAMMER: She's not picking up any sound because of the thinning air.
(Back on Durandal)
WORKER: Attract inhibitor output at 300%. We cannot keep down Zohar Emulator's wave motion.
JR. How exquisite.----- We've just got it working again.
SHELLY: Trespass warning in the Mother Frame (central computer) "Pieta". A rearrangement phenomenon is seen in the variants.
JR. In "Mama"? Where is it from?
WORKER: Currently scanning the infection path. (scanning the ship) The path has been specified. It's from the isolated hangar.
JR. The isolated hangar----- Of course, is it Zohar?
WORKER: Yes, a request on Zohar is occurring from outside the hangar.
SHELLY: A paradigm contamination is in progress. As it is, it will usurp the central computer.
JR. Cut the main circuit to the isolated hangar. Make the Attract Inhibitor function independently on a sub-circuit.
SHELLY: Main circuit purged. Signal communication connections, frozen.
(On Elsa, KOS-MOS activates some new powerful blue beam. The beam fragments all the Gnosis and absorbs them. All those aboard Elsa watches what happened on a monitor.)
MATHEWS: What? Isn't that an easy victory?
ALLEN: Boss-----
SHION: Didn't what happened just now----- look like some kind of illusion?
ALLEN: Yes. It looked as if she just absorbed the Gnosis.
SHION: It's a weapon we don't know about----- Yes, wasn't that some kind of weapon, wasn't it?-----
ALLEN: That's for sure.
MATHEWS: Whether it is or isn't, I don't give a crap either way. It defeated the Gnosis, didn't it?
HAMMER: Hey----- Captain, our master, the Kid, sent us a communication just now.
MATHEWS: Oh, don't bother.
(Allen asks Hammer who "The Kid" is.)
SHION: (thinking) The KOS-MOS I don't know----- Kevin----- is this what you were wishing for?---- - What is KOS-MOS, really?-----
(Durandal picks up the Zohar Emulator.)
(Back at U-TIC headquarters)
SOLDIER: Commander-----
MARGULIS: What?
SOLDIER: Commander Andrew's S. H. S. Identification Signal disappeared.
MARGULIS: ...
PELLEGRI: And the U. M. N.?
SOLDIER: Yes. I could trace his signal to a place in mid transfer inside hyperspace. I lost it at point 2100-783. From the remains with localized mutations found at the same point, it seems to be that of a Gnosis.
PELLEGRI: So-----
MARGULIS: (shutting his eyes)
3.5: DURANDAL
From the time Shion boards the Durandal til it docks at the Foundation.
3.5.1: Some Stuff Happens on the Durandal
(On Durandal's bridge)
JR. -----I'll leave it up to you.
(The group arrives on the scene.)
MARY: Understood, Little Lord.
CHAOS: Thanks for your help.
JR. Later, fill me in about the matter in detail.
CHAOS: So, did something happen?-----
JR. Well, we were delayed because the central computer caught a cold and it took us a while to investigate and analyze it.
CHAOS: How regrettable.
JR. Well said.
(Allen nudges at Mathews, wanting some information.)
ALLEN: Is he some acquaintance?
MATHEWS: He's our boss, our best customer. (turning to Jr.) Ah----- Little Lord. We picked up some customers heading for Miltia during our job. What should I do?
JR. Well, they look like customers with good reasons. -----Hmmm, the repairs on Elsa take priority over that. We'll restore it at the Foundation. That cannot be left as is until reaching their destination.
SHION: Foundation? The Kookai Foundation? One of Forbes' "Top 10 Rapidly Growing Corporations of This Year". That, That's you?
JR. No. We'll be somewhat profitable if we start trading in our spare time.
ALLEN: (speaking to Shion privately) It's a bad idea, Boss, to associate with such folks.
JR. Hey, hey. Man, I can hear you. I'm fine with just deserting you in space.
ALLEN: Yes, yes. I'm sorry.
(The voices surrounding Shion lower as she takes a moment of introspection.)
MATHEWS: (hushed) Yeah, let's just abandon him, Little Lord. This guy is a little noisey, in his own way-----
ALLEN: (hushed) Wait, Captain. You too? Help me, Chaos.
CHAOS: (hushed) I have no right to decide. I'm leaving the decision up to the two folks here.
JR. (hushed) Well then, so shall we leave him behind then?
ALLEN: (hushed) No, not that-----
JR. What's with that serious look. We're kidding. Just kidding----- (turning to Shion) What's wrong? Something troubling you?
SHION: Eh, Um, No. It's nothing. I'm Shion Uzuki. It's nice to meet you. And you?-----
JR. I'm Jr. Gaignun Jr. My real name is different, but for now, with this matter, Jr. will do. Nice to meet you. (turning to Shelly) Shelly, a change of plans. We'll return to the Foundation. Later, tell Gaignun to "secure this final work of junk".
SHELLY: Understood. We'll return to the Foundation now.
(Durandal jumps into hyperspace. We see the shape of a giant robot coming into view.)
{SAVE}
(We see Jr., running through a scene of destruction.)
JR. (screaming) Gaignun!
(It begins to rain. Jr. sees a dead cat with a tag with the name "Gaignun". He goes over to pick it up. We flash back to a high-tech location (platform), where Jr. is holding a boy in his arms.)
JR. Don't talk-----. It's all over-----. All over-----.
(Suddenly, a strange spectral light shines from above.)
JR. Al--- bedo-----
(Fade in from white; we see Jr., falling.) (Jr. falls, wrapped by some strange magenta beams of light. Then, he wakes up in bed. It was a nightmare. We see the numbers 666 written on his right palm.)
JR. Damn-----
(The following day)
(Everyone is standing in a huge hall surrounded by large monolithic structures.)
MOMO: What's this place? I sense that the conditions here are very tightly controlled.
SHION: Huge boxes-----. Six left and six right of the bridge, and one right in front.
ZIGGY: A total of 13. It looks like there are various names inscribed on the blocks.
SHION: (to Ziggy) You've got good eyes-----. Let's see. Vestro--- Andere--- Boaneruge--- Tomas- -- Yohane--- and...
KOS-MOS: Phillibo, Matai, Baltromai, Yakobu, Tadai, Simon, Koda-----
SHION: And then-----
KOS-MOS: It looks like the word "Marionkind" is inscribed.
SHION: Marionkind----- It seems I have heard this word somewhere.
SHELLY: It means Maria's children.
JR. Here is a place where we keep such incredible things, as you can see. Look-----
(The containers are opened to reveal their precious cargos.)
SHION: Zohar!
JR. However, they're all Emulators--- including the one we retrieved just now, the one getting its seal.
SHION: Why are these Zohars here?-----
JR. Well, our trade is various and extensive. Besides, at this time, the countermeasures against Gnosis are to run away and avoid them. It was necessary to prepare before the Federation raises a heavy "...".
MOMO: What is the room at the end of this passage?
JR. It's nothing good to look at.
SHION: Won't you show it to us?
JR. Stop it. I do not advise it.
SHION: Even though you say you've got extensive trades, --- you're still a foundation. And, looking from the armaments on this ship, I'd say it's equipped with things that far exceed those of strategic assault ships. --- What in the world are you carrying?---
JR. If you want to see it that much, then please...
(The door opens, and they walk in. It's some isolation unit with display tanks.)
SHION: I wonder what they----- (Shocked, seeing a half-human, half-Gnosis creature in a glass case at the end of the room)
JR. Like I said, I don't recommend it (seeing this room).
KOS-MOS: Everything here seems to be Gnosis-altered forms of people.
ZIGGY: Altered form----- I've heard of the rumor but-----
JR. In general, they die and break apart. Rarely do we get them like this. We're temporarily calling this kid "Betty". It's hard to look straight at her. --- However, we don't want to call her by a code or number. If we start to look at the dead as "things" and "numbers", then it will be the end.
MOMO: Isn't she a--- female?
JR. She was a "girl" the last time we saw her.
ALLEN: Don't we understand their true nature?--- to think that people can become Gnosis.
JR. It looks like there is plenty of residues (to study) from captured Gnosis just from here, but it was not helpful in elucidating their true characters. Do you know their material composition?
ALLEN: No.
JR. NaCl (Sodium Chloride)----- Salt. It's the composition behind that semi- transparent body. The main ingredients are water and sodium hydroxide. Why does such an ordinary substance become that entity? There has been a mix of good and bad theories- like 1) they're new species of viruses, from the fact that people who come in contact with them change into Gnosis 'without exception", and 2) they're some transient form of life from another dimension that adopt to live on our world...
(Shion flashes back to the time when she was attacked.)
SHION: There's--- no exception?
JR. No. As far as I know.
(Shion flashes back to Andrew's Gnosis transformation.)
ALLEN: There is a possibility that they're life from another dimension. Then, following that logic, their true character may be different---
JR. I wonder how. Well, the only thing certain is that they hold animosity against people. Yet, it's not so strange for entities to have animosities against us.
ALLEN: (to Shion) Boss, is there something wrong? You don't look so good.
SHION: It's nothing----- Nothing. I, I wonder when did this all began---
JR. Unofficially, it looks as if an occurrence like this took place, got scattered and lost a few hundred years ago. However, Gnosis appeared back on history's front page because of some incident-----
MOMO: Some incident?
JR. The Miltia Dispute. The ambition of one mere man. A man who opened a door that humankind must not have opened. Joachim Mizrahi released evil on this world.
SHION: The notorious scientist Joachim Mizrahi, the founder of the U-TIC organization-- ---
JR. A Maniac. The man summoned them because he couldn't suppress his intellectual curiosity for Gnosis.
MOMO: (in deep thought) Maniac-----
JR. In order to investigate the facts and then settle the matter, the Foundation was established. (MOMO walks away from the group) The Second Miltia government moved the capital after the war and took on the initiative. That was our original job. However, after a few years, peace returned. An enormous amount of money is required to upkeep the Foundation and manage Zohar especially. (MOMO walks out the door) We then became a syndicate, like now. Afterwards, we had to turn a department to private management, and we had great success with side businesses-----
MOMO: Papa--- isn't that kind of person.
(The group finally realizes that MOMO is gone and begins to worry about her. Allen goes to Durandal's bridge to respond to Shelly's call. So, Shion and KOS- MOS go about searching for MOMO. They find her at the Park. At the observation deck, MOMO sits at a bench.)
MOMO: (to a firefly-like object) What do you guys think?----- Maniac Joachim Mizrahi----- I wonder if Papa is really that kind of person. I wonder if we Realiens, created by Papa, are harmful things-----.
SHION: (finding MOMO) MOMO, so you're here.
MOMO: Miss Shion.
SHION: What's the matter? Are you not feeling well?
MOMO: (shaking her head) Miss Shion-----, MOMO---- was created by Joachim Mizrahi. I'm a 100-Type Realien designed at a time when he was still contributing to the Federation.
SHION: I know-----.
MOMO: Miss Shion, MOMO--- can't think that Papa is a maniac. But,--- I can't judge anything.
SHION: The scattering of self-identity?---- This is eternally a difficult question. (holding her left hand out as one of these light bugs lands on it) This ship uses good environmental bugs. Environmental bugs are nano-machines that clean and maintain the enclosed space. I think they are one of the very good inventions by Professor Mizrahi. Umm, in fact, it's one of the very best in the history of science. (Continuing) These bugs, although their existence came about artificially, are certainly useful as anything else in this world. I wonder if it's the same for you Realiens. The only difference you have with humans is that you'll have a longer history after birth. I just think that there will be no change in how Realiens will be important elements in what makes up this world. (letting go of the bug) Therefore, for me, it is questionable that Professor Mizrahi is generally described as a dangerous character. It's just not the environmental bugs. It's the Realiens and their related works, all filled with deep insights.
KOS-MOS: The basic research on Gnosis left behind by Professor Mizrahi is useful to the development of current anti-Gnosis techniques.
SHION: Nice follow-through, KOS-MOS. This response was amazingly good. Emotional response is a very important element to human relations.
KOS-MOS: I think right now isn't a situation where interconnection of human relations is necessary, but I'm happy if it served that purpose.
MOMO: (laughing) Miss KOS-MOS is an interesting person.
SHION: She's just a kid that doesn't listen to what people say very much.
MOMO: I've never met Papa. However, up to the time when MOMO was born, all the time he spoke in a gentle voice: "If you do good deeds, MOMO, you can become a human--- --." It was faint, but that was it.
SHION: Oh, so----- It's a wonderful memory.
MOMO: Yes.
ALLEN: Boss----- (rushing in) Good news. It looks like this ship, right after Kookai Foundation, will go to Second Miltia.
SHION: To Second Miltia, on purpose?
ALLEN: It looks like they've got some business there. Ah, but the Captain is in a bad mood because Elsa is undergoing repairs again---.
SHION: Business----- I wonder if it's true.
ALLEN: Yes.
SHION: Um. I guess each of us has his or her own reason (for going), but everyone's got quite good feelings on Miltia.
ALLEN: Is that so? It's probably a simple coincidence. I think that things were fine if you leave out the shipping charges, but there's a huge difference between the rich accommodations here and Elsa's. And even if we encounter the Gnosis, this ship's prepared. Ah, I tried to go to our private quarters. They've got Jetpass and Mini-bars! Why are you putting your hand on your forehead?
SHION: (astounded at Allen's pettiness) It's nothing. It's just I envy your calculating personality.
3.6: KOOKAI FOUNDATION
From the time the Durandal docks til Shion and the gang enter the Encephalon.
3.6.1: Arrival at the Foundation
Durandal arrives at the Kookai Foundation. Everyone observes the spectacle from the window.
ALLEN: Is that Kookai Foundation? Like this ship, it probably costs a lot of money.
MOMO: So, Durandal as it is becomes a skyscraper! How pretty-----
SHION: Huh? This ship enters the port as it is?
ALLEN: It's said that this ship is a famous landmark at the Foundation. It's mentioned in a travel guide I found in Elsa.
SHION: What if I don't know. I don't look at the travel books too much.
MOMO: Ah, look! We're entering port.
(The tip of Durandal inserts right through the bottom of the Foundation, piercing its internal landscape. Everyone is amazed.)
(CHANGE SCENE)
(A man in a black suit approaches, accompanied by Mary and Shelly.)
MAN IN SUIT: If you're here to sight-see, a good time is New Year's Eve. With the metropolis all lit up, it's quite a sight.
ZIGGY: -----Gaignun Kookai? (we see the man in suit) Kookai Foundation's active director.
SHION: Huh? Jr.----- You-----
GAIGNUN: What?
SHION: No, nothing----- Nice to meet you. (nodding)
GAIGNUN: Welcome to Kookai Foundation.
(He offers a handshake, and Shion reciprocates but not before noticing the numbers 699 written on palm of his right hand.)
GAIGNUN: (continued) I'll hear the overall matter from Captain Mathews and Chaos. Okay?
SHION: Ye, Yes. Thanks for your help.
GAIGNUN: Have a happy stay. I'm sorry, but I must greet the others.
(Gaignun walks over to MOMO.)
GAIGNUN: You must be MOMO. I have been informed by Professor Yuri Mizrahi from the Contact Sub-Committee. I shall safely deliver you to Militia.
MOMO: It's----- from Mama?
GAIGNUN: Aah, yes. She said she's leaving you in my care.
MOMO: Can I speak to Mama?
GAIGNUN: How should I tell you... she seems to be very busy.
MOMO: Is--- that----- so? I wonder why she won't ever see me?
GAIGNUN: I'll definitely let you know if I receive word from her again.
MOMO: Thank you very much.
(Gaignun walks away but turns to look at Shion. His eyes flash for a brief moment.)
GAIGNUN: No. It's impossible-----
(Gaignun continues to walk away.)
(Cut to inside an ornate office in Kookai Foundation. We see Jr. sitting in a chair with his feet kicked up. Gaignun stares out the window.)
JR. That KOS-MOS. Her abilities are certainly not ordinary. No matter how I see it, there's no way she's a prototype. I can't get over how she resonated with the Emulator.
GAIGNUN: The Hilbert Effect----- I heard that the archtype was lost, but now it seems to have been hidden----- And, KOS-MOS's caretaker----- Is she called Shion? She may be aware of our abilities.
JR. No way. Isn't she just an average person?
GAIGNUN: (turning to face Jr.) Isn't it possible that she's not ordinary?
JR. (putting his arms behind his head) I wonder if you're right. But from what I've seen, she's just an average girl. Hmm... Well, she may as well be like you said, considering that she is carrying the most important secret "example project" that even old man Helmar is involved in-----
GAIGNUN: You mean---- Project Zohar?
JR. Yeah----- It's been a while. What Mizrahi said were forecasts.
GAIGNUN: Hmph. Are you going wild over that girl named MOMO?
JR. Don't look at me with those eyes. It's probably been said that no one can be called the son of the "maniac". We may as well have lived "there", where Mizrahi lived his final moments, but this girl has seen it all, from the beginning to the end. She's a Realien. But it's possible they had her memories implanted.
GAIGNUN: You mean to say that the image she has of Mizrahi is a virtual image.
JR. I don't know. However, that's why I want to keep her as a reserve. For the time being and now.
GAIGNUN: If that's so much on your mind, how about inviting her to the beach. She can probably be a nice little mood change for you.
JR. (Mad, getting up) That's why I said it's not like how you described it!
(Jr. walks away.)
GAIGNUN: Hey!
(Jr. turns around. A box is tossed at him.)
JR. What's this?
(Gaignun silently comes to a stop. Jr. opens it.)
JR. Isn't this PM with stainless finish? Moreover, it comes with the carton!
GAIGNUN: Last week, I successfully bid on it since it happened to appear on Sutheby's "ancient weapon collection".
JR. Are you planning something? I see a pattern here.
GAIGNUN: (walking past Jr.) Actually, I thought it----- would be a good bonus for you, since you seem to have worked pretty hard lately. I wonder if I've gone thru too much trouble.
(Jr. shakes his head. The door opens just as Gaignun begins to exit.)
GAIGNUN: Don't fire it if it's too much for you. You're senior to me. Behave yourself a bit more like a senior.
(The door closes. Jr.'s voice can be heard behind the door.)
JR. Totally awesome!-----
(Gaignun takes a sigh.)
(We see Shion sitting in her room aboard the Durnandal. Her head slumps on her hands as she gives out a sigh. The doorbell rings.)
SHION: It's open.
(Allen enters.)
ALLEN: Boss, should we be going now?
SHION: Umm-----.
ALLEN: Is something the matter? I wonder if I'm being silly. Since we boarded this ship, Boss has been strangely somber.
SHION: It's nothing----- in particular. -----What? You see that I'm acting in that way?
ALLEN: I can see it. All the time.
SHION: Is that----- so?
ALLEN: Look, that feeling...
SHION: It's because I've got various things to think about-----. It's certainly because of that.
ALLEN: Really? If you'd like, we can discuss what's troubling you sometimes-----.
(Jr. abruptly enters.)
JR. (running) Shion, let's go and play.
(Shion looks surprised.)
JR. I'll be waiting at the the launch pad. Come soon. See ya.
(Jr. leaves as quickly as he arrived. Later, cut to outside the room.)
ALLEN: Well, I am going ahead to the launch pad. Boss, please come too!!
(After getting off at the Dock Area, Shion first comes across KOS-MOS and Ziggy standing outside of Elsa.)
KOS-MOS: ...... Shion. I will return to the adjustment bay in Elsa to receive my regular data update.
ZIGGY: I'm flattered that I was invited, but I must report the coming situation to the committee. It's a long-awaited opportunity. It would be good for you to enjoy it yourselves.
(Proceed to the gate.)
CHAOS: Gaignun private beach? The last time I came, it was under construction. This is my first time seeing it for real.
ATTENDENT: The Foundation is fun. Please enjoy the shopping and dining to your heart's content.
MOMO: Mr. Gaignun's private beach? No matter what sort of place it is, MOMO will enjoy it!!
ALLEN: I understand that you've been thinking deeply because of all the various events since the Woglinde, but here, let us follow Jr.'s words and forget our troubles for a while.
JR. Shion, what's that gloomy face! Let's hurry up and go to the beach! I'll give you a guided tour!!
(They board a flying machine and leave for the beach. At the Gaignun private beach, we see Jr. and MOMO playing volleyball, with Chaos watching. Meanwhile, Shion is sitting under the shade of an umbrella. Although enjoying a cocktail drink, as always she's busying over some technical specs on her U.M.N.)
(Fade to black. We see a flashback of Shion back in the old research lab with Kevin.)
KEVIN: (standing next to the old KOS-MOS coffin) I wonder if you'd laugh if I said that I think even she has a heart.
SHION: (working at a console) Is a soul active in KOS-MOS?-----
KEVIN: I found the phenomenon deeply interesting. Of course, I feel hopeless because the thing that's like a pulse remains weak-----
SHION: Really? That is worth a follow-up investigation. KOS-MOS's basic neuro- framework is designed to faithfully reproduce the human brain. I think it's not something impossible.
(Kevin gives a small laugh. Cut back to reality.)
SHION: (talking to herself) Her sympathetic actions toward MOMO---- Her deep-level, sub-domain waveform---- - was flat-line----- Is it useless?----- There's nothing at all.
ALLEN: (walking up to Shion in a very tacky swimsuit with horizontal stripes) What's the matter, Boss? Although we came all the way to the beach, you're staring at your monitor.
MOMO: (joining in) Yeah. Miss Shion, let's play together.
SHION: Sorry. Just a bit more-----
MOMO: (looking at Shion's monitor) Is that KOS-MOS? She's splendid.
ALLEN: KOS-MOS. There are many "Black Box" parts that even we do not understand.
MOM0 Black Box?
ALLEN: Yes. So, we are understanding her little by little, getting closer to her "original form". It was a senior member named Kevin who had a thorough knowledge of KOS-MOS----- (covering his mouth)
(Shion either pays no heed intentionally or just misses it.)
SHION: Hey, Allen. I wonder if Jr. and Gaignun are parent and child. Their age difference seems a bit big for brothers.
ALLEN: (shrugging his shoulders) I hear various gossips about this. Maybe Jr. is a product of self-cloning, or maybe he is some illegitimate child-----
MOMO: I think that he's not a clone. I sense that their genomic arrangements are subtly different-----
SHION: That's amazing, MOMO. Do you understand that much?
MOMO: MOMO is used for observation----- Yes. Although I can't tell the difference between parent and child or brothers, I cannot say that they're of the same construct-----
SHION: Can that (clone) really exist? Someone is interpreted as a completely different individual if the nucleotide base sequence differs by 0.19%...
JR.'S VOICE Now, whooo's an illegitimate child?
ALLEN: (trying to cover up) N, no one. Whoa, it sure is a wonderful beach. I can't believe this is a completely man-made beach.
JR. That's because it's our new product. (pulling out some kind of remote) You can freely change even the weather. Clear blue sky isn't the only trick.
(Suddenly the weather changes. Clouds appear, along with thunder.)
SHION: I don't like----- THUNDER-----
JR. Shion-----
SHION: (screaming) Stop it. I don't like thunder. (dropping to the ground, covering her ears)
(Jr. presses a button to stop it.)
SHION: Sorry----- I don't like----- thunder-----
(Everyone's stunned.)
CHAOS: Shion-----
(It starts to rain.)
(We see Gaignun sitting at his desk, anticipating to speak to someone on the videophone.)
GAIGNUN: It seems you're overloaded with work as usual, representative Helmar.
HELMAR: (sitting down) Yeah, Mr. Nigredo. How's it going with you?
GAIGNUN: Humph. I don't have good feelings for that nickname.
HELMAR: My apologies. I'm still not familiar with the sound of "Gaignun". Anyway, I wonder what is up?
GAIGNUN: I am heading your way. I decided that it'd probably be good to let you know since I'm bringing some delicate cargo.
HELMAR: Ooh. It's an Emulator that you assured me has no relations with the cargo aboard Federation cruiser Woglinde. Or is it a load of weapons-----? That'd be consistent with U-TIC Organization's records.
GAIGNUN: Aah, yes. It's the same one from the planetary disappearance case from before. If U-TIC Organization didn't make any since then, we now have all of them. All except for the original-----
HELMAR: It's probably not possible for there to be more. The man who can create them "is no longer in this world".
GAIGNUN: You're right. Oh, I've got that and one other thing. I'm bringing along the prototype (100-Type observation unit) that belongs to a certain Contact Sub- Committee member.
HELMAR: Really? You're seeing her home-----
GAIGNUN: 76 hours ago, my cargo/passenger ship rescued and then protected her.
HELMAR: Isn't the magnetism to attract those accidental elements one of your special powers?
GAIGNUN: For certain people in the know, it is said that in the absence of chance, it's probable. But anyway, it's something getting somewhat caught up in the movement of the U-TIC Organization. It may be best to strengthen your vigilance.
HELMAR: I shall tap into the U. M. N. management office. With that, I can detect the changes in the scale of fleets.
GAIGNUN: That'd be wise. In case they assumed that the Emulator is not in their party's hands, in 8 or 9 cases out of ten, I expect them to go after the original sealed up in the old Miltia. And-----
HELMAR: "U-DU"?
GAIGNUN: Their ultimate aim is something I can't determine, but we cannot allow them to wake "that" up again.
HELMAR: Understood. I shall prepare for your arrival. I'm looking forward to seeing you again. (signs off)
(Gaignun gets up and walks away.)
(Back at the beach, after their time of relaxation, Shion and Allen are back in their uniforms and discussing some matters.)
ALLEN: Well, I'm going to return to Elsa and check on KOS-MOS's condition, but...... Are you really okay? Boss......
SHION: Um...... I'm sorry for getting agitated. It's just that...... I don't have very good memories of thunder......
ALLEN: Boss.
SHION: Because I'm a little tired, I wonder if I should take a rest at city block #27's hotel...... After I've had some rest, I'll return to the Elsa. Meanwhile, I'll leave KOS-MOS in your care.
ALLEN: Understood. Oh, Boss? Don't do anything too unreasonable.
SHION: Um. I know.
(As Shion, MOMO, Chaos, and Jr. are about to leave the beach area, they come across Ziggy.)
MOMO: Ah, Ziggy.
SHION: Is there something wrong?
ZIGGY: No, I just came to see how things are going......
JR. By saying that, in reality, isn't it that you wanted to play too?
ZIGGY: Is there something the matter? You don't look so good.
SHION: No, it's nothing important. Everything is just fine.
ZIGGY: Is that so? Even if someone says so him/herself, but he or she had better not do anything unreasonable.
SHION: Yes. I know.
3.6.2: Turning Point
Starting from when you find Allen aboard the Elsa after resting at the Our Treasures Inn, as translated by jetfuel(til the Foundation gets attacked) and Henry Jerng(thereafter). About 25 minutes.
(ALLEN "How was your rest?") (Shion "Yes, it was refreshing! I'm all right now.") (ALLEN "Well, not to be too quick, but shall we start KOS-MOS's preparation?")

Asteroid Pleroma
DUDE WHO LOOKS LIKE FRED FROM THE B-52's EXCEPT WITH PINK HAIR AND SHADES LIKE
MORPHEUS FROM THE MATRIX: Output is at 5.806LPP. Not even 3% of the required amount.
MARGULIS: Is that to say that hope of opening the door to Lost Jerusalem is lost?
FRED: The search for a way to open it is doubtful. No matter how many times we say that the emulator is just a supplementary engine... You're the one who's been ignoring it. Now we've lost our precious inheritance. We'll gather up the remains but it won't be much. Not even Mizrahi could do it without the Original.
MARGULIS: Oh, so now you respect that madman?
FRED: It was just an objective observation. Nobody superior to that guy exists in this universe.
MARGULIS: I can't afford to keep the commander waiting any longer. I'm going to activate plan 401.
FRED: Plan 401, eh? It seems a tad too forceful... Mizrahi's 100-Type, who was taking care of Helmar, in addition to having their research records from the very beginning, is the *only* place where the closed Miltia sector's cancel codes are stored. If you're rash, you'll end up losing everything. The Y documents and Miltia both recognize the importance of that. That's what 'that guy' is for. I don't like him. He's got Mizrahi's eyes.
MARGULIS: Aren't you talking about yourself?
FRED: Hmph! We'll be waiting for some good news.
(Fred's image disappears.)
MARGULIS: Pellegri. Get the commander on the line. I want to report directly to him, including about the strategic meeting.
---
(We see a really cool AGWS in space, then Albedo and his Realien.)
ALBEDO: I see. What shall I do?
MARGULIS: The situation has already progressed. Don't get involved with it. I don't think the Second Miltia government or the Kookai Foundation will give it up very easily. Depending on the situation, we may have to use Nephilim's song.
ALBEDO: Oh yeah? I thought you hated that.
MARGULIS: I just mean there's a use for your little toy.
ALBEDO: Then, do you want to come with? You're welcome to.
MARGULIS: I'll pass. I don't have your sick interests.
ALBEDO: (laughing) Well said. Impotent jerk!
PELLEGRI: Albedo. U.R.T.V. A monster born of Life Recyle. Life Recycle mutants have had numerous cases of mental instability. Like that Andrew. If he can't handle it, and you make the wrong move...
MARGULIS: There's no need to worry about that. That guy is not restrained by time. His only interest is that Realien.
PELLEGRI: Are we really going to use Nephilim's song?
MARGULIS: Pellegri. Have you ever heard it? That song... Causes complete chaos.
---
(We see the Kookai Foundation, then Shion and Allen standing next to KOS-MOS' coffin.)
SHION: Miltia... I didn't expect to hear about it again like this.
ALLEN: Boss. What's wrong?
SHION: Hm? Er, Ah... No, it's nothing. (Hits a few buttons on a panel) How's this, KOS-MOS?
KOS-MOS: Yes. No complications. Please continue.
ALLEN: "It's nothing", again...?

(On the Durandal's bridge.)
MARY GODWIN: We will shortly be entering the Miltia solar system. Estimated to enter outer circumference orbit at 1400 local time. Requesting reception of flight plan and permission to dock at Second Miltia space port.
___
(MOMO strolls down a hallway of the Durandal.)
JR. Hey, MOMO
MOMO: Yes. What is it?
JR. Once we arrive at Second Miltia, I guess it's farewell, eh?
MOMO: Yes.
JR. I dunno if Realiens are superstitious or sentimental or anything, but... Take this. As a good luck charm. (he hands her something)
MOMO: It's lovely! What is it?
JR. A bullet from an ancient gun. And look. It's got a fun saying inscribed on it: "Go ahead make my day", it says.
MOMO: Thank you! I'll treasure it!
JR. Oh, yeah! Wait a second. (Jr. pulls out a chain and magically(?) attaches the bullet to it) This should do. Try it on.
MOMO: Amazing! That you can do something this wonderful...
JR. But even just that tires me out...
---
(Lots of ships in space.)
SHELLEY: Is this a greeting? Is there an escort this time?
MARY: They're blocking our route. (Ships open fire) This is not a greeting!!
(Lights go out around the Durandal, and then come back on)
VOICE OVER PA: Laser torpedoes. I can confirm them coming toward our ship's vicinity. A fleet of Federation ships is surrounding our ship.
---
(Federation Assembly Hall)
MAN'S VOICE: As you can see from these videos, Kookai Foundation went against the late Naval Division #117. The conduct of combat is clear, but even looking at the situation afterwards you do not gain the conclusion that it was an illegal operation against the Federation carried out by Second Miltia, the autonomous government with jurisdiction over Miltia. Looking seriously at the various matters mentioned earlier, I here propose an emergency motion, consisting of 104 articles, to strip the rights to govern from the Second Miltia autonomous government.
YELLOW HAIRED MAN: (continued) To complement this motion, I'm now sending Naval fleet #422 from Gedal to the appropriate spatial grid and placing restrictions, a siege, on Second Miltia as well as the Kookai Foundation.
ASIAN-LOOKING MAN: Wait a minute. Isn't that unauthorized activity?
YELLOW HAIRED MAN: It's a fleet deployment in line with Federation Constitution under emergency time. That is not a problem.
BALD MAN: Isn't it a problem to a large extent just because the Kookai Foundation has that military power?
MUSTACHED MAN: I don't know if you're a hero of the Miltia dispute or what, but it seems that way that because you always get coddled. As for Zohar, I expect it to be a treasure for the entire Federation. Why should the Second Miltia have a monopolistic hold on ITS possession?
ASIAN-LOOKING MAN: The decision to entrust old Miltia's inheritance to a management organization (which became Kookai Foundation) with no interest in the conflict was made in a vote 14 years ago.
ASSEMBLY MODERATOR: So, you're suggesting that it's dangerous for a "corporation" to have exclusive possession.
ASIAN-LOOKING MAN: The time when Kookai Foundation became a financial group was after the post-war management ended and they liquidated their armaments. After it adopted its current name and commercialized one department, its main business became a pleasure and sight-seeing industry. It surprises me that we're back discussing Zohar.
MUSTACHED MAN: Even with THAT, do you say that they liquidated their armaments?
ASIAN-LOOKING MAN: That's probably as far as they can go. Remember the troubles over its funding. And it isn't just that. You cannot ignore their meritorious service against the Gnosis recently.
ASSEMBLY MODERATOR: Wasn't there conflict with the autonomous state because it could not participate in the sweet nectar of the post-war revival?
VOICE: What?
MUSTACHED MAN: It's not just the planetary disappearance case now investigation. In other matters, there are rumors that Miltia quotes in articles about Project Zohar, where it especially makes Anti-Gnosis its goal-----
ASSEMBLY MODERATOR: I want to hear the opinion of a member of the Contact Sub-Committee. Professor Yuri Mizrahi-----
YURI MIZRAHI: In regard to the all-purpose observation unit, we're merely building on top of the original plan and sending her to Second Miltia. It's an authorized procedure.
BALD MAN: I wonder how this can be----- She's the one that produced that maniac who summoned the Gnosis and tried to destroy our Federation. Have you forgotten what's on Miltia?
MUSTACHED MAN: It's not that I don't understand the feelings of wanting to defend a widow, but- ---- if you're also on this case-----
YURI MIZRAHI: It's unexpected that the reason for my being here is distorted in such a way.
(There's lots of grumbling among the members.)
ASSEMBLY MODERATOR: Silence. Silence! We're joined now by representative Helmar. I think we want to hear the situation with the Second Militia government. How about it, representative Helmar.
(We see Helmar.)
(We see the party standing at Durandal's bridge as the Federation vessels prepare for attack. Meanwhile, they listen in on the audio broadcast.)
JUNIOR: Combat actions against the Federation fleet...
ALLEN: How did this happen?
CHAOS: It looks like they think Durandal conspired with the Miltia government and attacked the Federation fleet.
SHION: Federation fleet----- Which one?
MARY: Wait a minute----- Look at the Network News on the sub-monitor. Here-----
(Now they are receiving the audio and video signal [NAN] of Durandal fighting with the U-TIC ship, the same one shown to the representative.)
NAN REPORTER: It was early dawn on the 21st, Federation Absolute Standard Time. Flagship Woglinde of naval squad #117 from Star Cluster Federation's Tesetra fleet, was under attack by a heavily armed ship belonging to the Kookai Foundation.
SHION: Woglinde----- How can this be? An attack by Gnosis was reported-----
NAN REPORTER: It was indicated that the Foundation, after holding position, joined up with the Second Miltia autonomous government. At the Federation Assembly, it appears that the assembly has received the approval to apply the Federation crime of rebellion and dispatched a fleet to the scene.
CHAOS: Anyway, it matches, even down to the absolute co-ordinates of the spatial grid of the combat-----
JUNIOR: Damn! It's a movie of the time when we fought against the U-TIC battleship. I hate that they've recorded it.
GAIGNUN: Indeed. Therefore, the absolute co-ordinates match. With that information alone, they say that additional proof won't be helpful. They sure feel as it we're the ones who did it.
ZIGGY: It's a terrible time to be in this situation.
SHELLY: In any case, with this we can confirm the information that the U-TIC Organization remnants is creeping deeply into the Federation government and its Navy.
JUNIOR: Well, what are they after next-----?
SHION: It's time they made up something like this. If we survivors provide some proof-- --
GAIGNUN: Those who remained alive will likely be thought of as conspirators.
ALLEN: How can that be?---- Can it be that's why we haven't received any communications from our company-----?
Federation soldiers board Durandal and arrive on the bridge.
WOMAN: I'm captain Lavis Roman of the information bureau, special operation command division of the Star Cluster Federation Force. From this point on, I'm placing this ship under the management of the Star Cluster Federation.
(They are all taken as prisoners.)
LAVIS: (continued) You're the survivors of Woglinde. I will take care of you. Furthermore, I will temporarily seize Vector's materials as evidence.
SHION: KOS-MOS-----
SOLDIER #1 I have discovered the 100-Type observation unit that we have been asked to protect.
(Junior sees MOMO fighting or struggling against the soldier as he takes her away. He frees himself from a soldier's grips.)
JUNIOR: Hey, don't be so rough.
(He is beaten to the ground and has guns pointed at him.)
LAVIS: Use one of the rooms to keep them. It'll make it easier to guard them.
SOLDIER #2 All of them?
LAVIS: Our surveillance over them becomes poorer is they're allowed to disperse. Until our next link-up, please proceed with the ship-wide search and go as far as possible.
SOLDIER #2 (clicking his gun) Understood.
LAVIS: Gaignun Kookai, I'm quickly taking you in under suspicion of crimes against the Star Cluster Federation. Please come along.
GAIGNUN: Whatever you say.
(They are all dragged or escorted out of the bridge. Then, cut to a room aboard the Durandal.)
ZIGGY: Their execution is too good----- The fleet's deployment is too early. Were they prepared to have MOMO returned into their hands under any sort of situation?---- - Or rather, they may have been planning this from the very beginning for whenever they land Second Miltia (in trouble).
JUNIOR: After the Miltia conflict, various special rights superceding Federation laws were given to Second Miltia as an autonomous territory. There are many groups that think angrily of that, including the U-TIC Organization.
ZIGGY: I couldn't get over how the information that MOMO was imprisoned on that asteroid was brought to the attention of the Contact Sub-Committee. It was planned from the time I departed----- That's awful.
MOMO: You mean----- You're saying that from the time Mama requested your help to rescue MOMO?
CHAOS: Surely, there are people from the U-TIC Organization also inside the committee.
ALLEN: It's not inconceivable. In this case, the line connects to Professor Yuri Mizrahi herself, the one who made the request-----
MOMO: Mama, Mama would definitely not do this.
SHION: Allen.
ALLEN: So, Sorry-----
(Lavis and Gaignun walk down a hall. She turns around and hands him a small black box.)
LAVIS: Please open it.
(It turnsout to be a cellular phone. It rings)
GAIGNUN: (answering the phone) Helmar?
HELMAR: Sorry to have kept you waiting, Gaignun. As it is, I too am in a situation difficult to maneuver, but I am handing it right back to the Federation Assembly. The woman now standing next to you is captain Lavis Roman. (Lavis salutes) She is my well-trusted subordinate who infiltrated Navy several years ago to research the activities of the U-TIC Organization hiding inside the Navy.
GAIGNUN: Always on your guard.
HELMAR: Over the years, I've become very cautious. You'll provide various records from Durandal to captain Roman before they are altered by them. Co-operate with her.
GAIGNUN: Understood.
HELMAR: You should hand her Durandal's master key.
(Helmar's secretary cuts in on the video.)
SECRETARY: Representative, (Helmar tilts his head toward her to hear what she has to say) a EPR communication is coming in from Vector's CEO-----
HELMAR: Vector's-----
SECRETARY: (nodding) Yes.
HELMAR: Understood. Leave me. (getting back to his call with Gaignun) Sorry. I will contact you again as the situation unfolds.
GAIGNUN: Very busy, as always.
HELMAR: Not more than you.
Helmar hangs up the phone. A videophone image unfolds before Helmar with Wilheim coming online.
WILHEIM: It's been a while, representative Helmar.
HELMAR: Mr. Wilheim. You too. Not since you retired as the chairman of the Office of State Affairs.
WILHEIM: I'm here to ask you about the situation. You will certainly have support from me at the Assembly.
HELMAR: You have my appreciation, Mr. Wilheim.
WILHEIM: The truth is that my contingent is cruising toward the Miltia orbit. I've got a bad feeling.
HELMAR: A bad feeling---
WILHEIM: Don't you feel that about this case?
HELMAR: I am absolutely sure that the U-TIC Organization is behind all this.
WILHEIM: Yes. If that's the case, they're after one thing. The original Zohar resting on Miltia and-----
HELMAR: U-Du-----
(We are presented with an image of a planet covered by some mysterious color pattern or radiation.)
HELMAR: We cannot allow them to wake that up again.
WILHEIM: I think our company's KOS-MOS and her staff are helping out there-----
HELMAR: What you're saying is, Mr. Wilheim, that Kookai Foundation and the government of Second Miltia----
WILHEIM: Yes. And, please tell Mr. Gaignun. If that happens, there shouldn't be any problem.
HELMAR: Huh? If it gets to that degree----
WILHEIM: Because I'm lending you KOS-MOS for a while, I want you to use her as follows. There is still time until Project Zohar is actually working. More than anything else, when that "one in ten thousand situation" occurs, THAT will serve its purpose. I shall offer my two Miltia branch offices and battle technique research as support.
HELMAR: Very well. After all, that is top secret---
WILHEIM: It's in my self-interest. As for here, we'd better put in lots of data work hours.
HELMAR: Understood. I shall inform Mr. Gaignun.
WILHEIM: Much appreciated. Later-----
(Wilheim signs off. Helmar turns his seat around to face the window. He gets up.)
HELMAR: U-Du-----?
(Lavis and a guard enters the room where Shion and others are kept.)
LAVIS: I am going to conduct preliminary questioning. (nodding to the outside guards, and they stop at the door)
(Lavis sits down at a table, facing MOMO and Shion.)
LAVIS: I am a subordinate of representative debater Helmar from the Second Miltia autonomous government.
(Shion is surprised. She looks at the guard.)
LAVIS: He too is one of us. I'll get to the details after I have explained our current situation. Right now, you are placed under the authority of the military and Federation government. As it is, within less than a few hours' time, she (MOMO) will be transferred to the anti-Miltia forces that infiltrated inside the government- in short, the subordinates of the U-TIC organization. As for the Second Miltia autonomous government, it seems certain that it will be forced to relinquish all its rights. Representative Helmar is buying time by fighting back against the anti-Miltia assembly members within the Federation Assembly, but more than our clever disguise work up to now, you must obtain independent evidence of your innocence.
SHION: But, how do we do that?
LAVIS: Yes-----. It's good if there is some official evidence.
SHION: Official---- evidence?-----
LAVIS: I've looked into this by recovering the data. However, the time from the final gate out had expired, so the time axis looped and made it completely in agreement with the recorded movie.
JUNIOR: I had destroyed the database on U-TIC Orgnization's battleship.
CHAOS: How about Durandal's database? Because it supposedly has a record of the battle against the U-TIC organization, I wonder if therefore it can stand as evidence.
LAVIS: That is a general-use database.
JUNIOR: Yes.
CHAOS: Is there some problem?
LAVIS: Yes-----. For a general-use database, there's room for as much change as you want. Where will it take us in its ability to prove anything?----- If only there's a system like one needed for a AAA class public project, one that cannot be changed even by its owner-----
JUNIOR: Tri, Triple-A! (sarcastic) Oh, yes. Do WE have a system that has such protection? Probably something along the line of Federation government mainframe or U. M. V. operation system.
SHION: We have one-----
JUNIOR: Huh?-----
SHION: We have one.
ALLEN: Ah, you mean KOS-MOS?
JUNIOR: KOS-MOS.
SHION: Yes. KOS-MOS's database has a record of Woglinde's battle with Gnosis. If we present that as evidence...
ALLEN: Ah, but to retrieve a copy of the record, we need two keys from Vector and the Federation government.
SHION: I can take a copy through a connection, if I experience the record in Encephalon Dive.
ALLEN: That! It's unreasonable without the Dive equipment.
SHION: I can go using the simple Dive module on the adjustment console.
ALLEN: You must be joking. That's against the first regulation.
SHION: So, we don't have any other way. Anyway----- There are way too many regulations.
ALLEN: I guess so, but-----
SHION: More importantly, the problem is how I can go down to where KOS-MOS is?-----
(Lavis gets up and presses a button on some remote. Ziggy's handcuffs come off. Lavis tosses the controller to Shion.)
LAVIS: You can open the locked door with this. Let's make it look like we were careless. Please beat us to an extent that you need to apologize for.
ZIGGY: Will I be fine?
LAVIS: You're not convicing me that it shouldn't be you.
(Ziggy looks around at everyone.)
ZIGGY: Certainly----- (walking over to Lavis)
LAVIS: Please take (my size) into consideration.
(Lavis falls on the ground. Ziggy walks over to the guard.)
ZIGGY: I'm sorry.
(He punches the guard unconscious. They start to leave the room.)
JUNIOR: (walking past Lavis, who lays unconscious on the floor) What a cool woman! Thank you!
3.7: ENCEPHALON
From the point you enter it until the point you leave it. Makes sense, right?
3.7.1: Dive In
As translated by jetfuel
Shion and the others are gathered around KOS-MOS's coffin, preparing for the Encephalon dive.
SHION: All right, then... Allen, back me up, okay?
ALLEN: R- Roger. Interconnection, initializing. Let's keep it steady! I'll support you no matter what happens. Don't worry.
SHION: Thanks. Here I go, KOS-MOS.
(The Dive begins, distorting the image of the room)
JR. Wh- What?
(Shion appears in the rain, and sees a building)
SHION: No way...
(Lightning flashes, and Shion screams. She then finds herself in a playground. She sees a young girl humming to herself on a swing. We see that it is a young Shion. She runs off.)
YOUNG SHION: Father!
SHION: Fa... ther...
(Young Shion runs to her dad)
SHION'S DAD: Well, let's go home, Shion.
YOUNG SHION: We're not going to go see Mother?
SHION'S DAD: We'll go pay her a visit tomorrow. (the word he uses suggests that she is sick) Okay?
YOUNG SHION: Yeah.
(They walk off)
SHION: Wait... Don't!
VOICE: Don't go.
(Shion turns around to see a mysterious girl sitting on the slide.)
GIRL: Yes. This is the last day that you and your father spent together as a parent and child. I've been waiting for you(plural) all this time. I wanted to take the time to talk to you.
(The scene changes to Jr. getting his own bearings. We see a group of armed Jr. lookalikes march past.)
JR. What the... Stupid...
MOMO: Jr....
JR. There's no question. U-Retro-Virus.
ZIGGY: Makes sense. It seems like I'm not the only one seeing this illusion. What is this place? Do you happen to know? (Jr. does not seem to notice) Hey!
JR. What do you want!!
ZIGGY: I'm asking if you happen to know where we are.
JR. Yeah, I happen to. If this is no illusion, and my memory is correct... This is... Miltia. Of 14 years ago. (Hops oven the structure and runs off)
ZIGGY: Where are you going?
MOMO: I wonder what's wrong with Jr. It looks like he went to follow those people...
ZIGGY: Anyway, he probably has some kind of reason that we're not aware of. And anyway, the situation's not getting any better. We shouldn't leave him alone.
(We are taken back to Shion's scene)
SHION: You were... waiting... For us...? Chaos!... Allen!...
ALLEN: Boss... Where are we?
(The girl takes Shion's hand)
SHION: You...
NEPHILIM: I am Nephilim. That's what I am called. Ever since I came to exist as myself.
(Run around as Jr. for a while, and fight spotlights.)
(Jr., MOMO, and Ziggy come upon a scene of the blonde Jr. lookalikes gunning down civilians.)
JR. Damn it... They all got contaminated...
(A brown-haired one, presumably the young Gaignun, shows up and kills a blonde one.)
GAIGNUN: Rubedo! Where are you! Rubedo! (The kanji used here means "red".)
JR. Gaignun!?
(We flash to another scene. Gaignun is limping along, using his gun as a crutch, when a white-haired one, presumably Albedo, knocks him down with a burst of energy. Albedo floats over to where Gaignun is lying prone. Jr. begins to run toward them.)
JR. Gaignun!!
(The scene ends)
MOMO: Are you all right?
JR. It's nothing.
MOMO: Jr....
JR. I said that it's nothing, all right!? (MOMO is scared) S... Sorry... Damn it... What the hell... What the hell is going on here?
(back to Shion and Nephilim)
SHION: Then, this place really is Miltia...
NEPHILIM: Yes. Sleeping in your consciousness, continuing, a world of memories. KOS-MOS has taken that feeling, and is reproducing it. This world has KOS-MOS's memories, as well.
SHION: KOS-MOS's memories? Something like that shouldn't...
NEPHILIM: Memories do not belong just to individuals. Having just stayed in one place...
SHION: No. Then, the original KOS-MOS...
(We flash back to a scene of Shion killing the original KOS-MOS)
NEPHILIM: "That time", two years ago, that which should have been destroyed... (We see Kevin try to protect Shion from KOS-MOS, and he is killed.) And that person who was important to you, died... (The scene ends) The beautiful memories are only half of it. The other half is left... The first time, your memories are formed. You... no, you(plural)... Have to accept that.
SHION: Accept... the memories...
NEPHILIM: You... Have to visit this place once again.
(We see Shion's father, apparently dead, and a bed, presumably with Shion's mother in it.)
SHION: Please, tell me. Why did I... to Miltia...?
NEPHILIM: The answer, only KOS-MOS knows. She's waiting for you, just ahead.
SHION: KOS-MOS is... Just ahead? (She sets off.)
ALLEN: Please wait. Boss!
NEPHILIM: Truly, this is good, isn't it? We can't backtrack anymore.
CHAOS: I know... but... She, needs Shion.
NEPHILIM: According to you? ... What are you going to do? (She dissolves into pink lights)
3.7.2: Joachim Mizrahi
As translated by Henry Jerng
(Junior, MOMO, and Ziggy make it out of the subway. They arrive at a location where Shion earlier stared up at a huge tower in the rain.)
JUNIOR: It's a show----- A joke-----.
MOMO: What's the matter? (turning to see the tower) Ah-----
JUNIOR: U-TIC organization's central tower--- Labyrinthos.
MOMO: Labyrinthos---.
On the top of Labyrinthos, we see a lone figure.
MAD MAN: Hallelujah! If the sea will draw out its dead and the dead and hell will draw out its dead, then the dead will be delivered at the mercy of their each individual deed.
MOMO: This voice--- That, that's papa-----. (screaming) Papa!
ZIGGY: What?--- (stopping MOMO from rushing toward the building) Stop, MOMO. Where do you intend to go?
MOMO: Don't stop me. Papa, Papa is calling.
ZIGGY: But, hey----- Are you sure----- that's Papa?---
JUNIOR: I'm sure of it. He's Joachim Mizrahi-----.
ZIGGY: That man----- is Joachim Mizrahi-----?
JOACHIM MIZRAHI: All persons not recorded in the book of life are thrown into the great pool of fire. Sing, all you people. Time for your feast has come.
(Joachim Mizrahi bursts into a ball of flame and leaps off the building.)
MOMO: No! (running off)
MOMO: Papa-----. (screaming, as Junior and Ziggy catch up with her) Papa!
JUNIOR: MOMO.
ZIGGY: This scene--- Is this really a scene of Miltia from 14 years ago?---
(Suddenly, the earth shakes, and they fall right through. A rotating circular symbol baths them in a intense bright light.)
(Later, Junior, MOMO, and Ziggy find themselves outdoors among greenery and trees. MOMO is kneeling and in tears, after her traumatic experience.)
MOMO: Junior-----
(Junior puts his hand on her shoulder for comfort.)
3.7.3: Reunion
As translated by Henry Jerng
(Chaos, Shion, and Allen exit the forest to find a church.)
SHION: That's a church-----. (turning to her left) Junior----- How did you guys get here?-----
JUNIOR: (shaking his head) I don't know. Our visibility went dim just as you dived, and when we regained consciousness, we came here. (Junior, MOMO, and Ziggy rejoin Shion's party) And then we were attacked by various illusions.-----
ALLEN: Have all of us been drawn into the Boss's Encephalon dive?
SHION: Impossible. I was not in contact with everyone.
ALLEN: If the pulse transmitted from KOS-MOS reacted with the dive module and generated counter current, then we're dealing with some inconceivable phenomenon. After all, the way we used it (encephalon dive) was done by remote (non-contact mode).
SHION: Even so, the simple module cannot endure such a (power) load, unless there was some other external force involved-----.
(An image of Nephilim appears.)
NEPHILIM: I have waited a long time for you-----.
CHAOS: In any case, we're in KOS-MOS' mainframe----- what you might call "the internal world". I sense that--- it's a world that all our memories together summoned and thus created.
ALLEN: But, this place is not from my memory.
CHAOS: I wonder if memory, or incidents that occurred in the past, don't become preferred or selected because of reinforcements from simultaneous resonance of time and space. If you think that way--- then it isn't so mysterious even if my own and Allen's memories are not represented here.
ZIGGY: In short, are you saying that this world--- continually changes depending on people who had common spatial-time experiences?
JUNIOR: A world of our past that we glimpse thru the help of KOS-MOS---.
MOMO: Was it all an illusion?
SHION: Illusion and reality is the same for the person experiencing it. This--- is not some illusion-----.
ALLEN: Boss-----.
THE VOICE OF NEPHILIM: All of you must accept it.
SHION: Is that so-----.
3.7.4: Febronia
As translated by Henry Jerng
(Shion, Allen, Ziggy, MOMO, Chaos, and Junior enter the church. Inside, the darkness is broken only by streams of light filtering thru the church's side windows. At its altar, the bright outlines of a figure catch your attention.)
ALLEN: That outfit-----. I wonder if she's a Realien----?
MOMO: Yes---. She certainly looks like a Realien, but... (the figure at the altar ends her prayers, gets up, and turns around to face them) I sense that she's different somehow.
ALLEN: Is this also a scene from someone's heart, Boss? (not getting a response from Shion, turning to ask her) Boss?
ZIGGY: Are you--- are you a Realien?
WOMAN AT THE ALTAR: Yes. I'm called Febronia. I take care of this church because I want a place where Realiens can feel secure.
SHION: (in a daze) Febronia---.
JUNIOR: An acquaintance?
SHION: -----. (suddenly, an image of monsters devouring someone remains flashes through her mind) (shaken) I--- know ------. I know---- you------, but no-----, (hiding her face as if in shame) I don't want to remember------. (Allen tries to confront her) Even though, even though------ (again, the image of four humanoid beasts feeding on the body of Febronia)
FEBRONIA: Shion, welcome. (walking toward her)
FEMALE VOICE: From the moment you opened that door, (it's Nephilim) you all will be facing yourselves. It will be very painful and miserable; ----- however, it's something very important to you----- and to us.
(Shion glances at Febronia, who nods with a smile. They proceed to enter the church's back room.)
(Lightning flashes as the door slides open.)
ALLEN: This----- is inside the Boss's heart-----.
(They walk down a long, dark hallway where lightning strikes at the other end. They, including Nephilim, come to a stop before a door.)
SHION: This place-----
NEPHILIM: It's the infirmary for serious neurological diseases, a place you know very well.
SHION: (looking up above the door, where it says "C Room") The room--- where mom was hospitalized---.
NEPHILIM: Yes. A place where painfully grievous memories hang in the air. I wonder if you can face them------.
(The door opens. Inside, it's a scene of death. A deceased man leans with his back against the wall, and else where, a short redhead is curled up on the ground. On the bed, a woman lies with the blanket covering over her, only revealing her head.)
SHION: -----. (taken aback)
(The monster creatures appear out of nowhere and begin to merge with each other, growing larger and larger. Shion steps back. Meanwhile, Junior is seeing something else.)
JUNIOR: -----.
(Junior sees the reactor, the one he dreamt of before. There, he sees a child with white hair.)
JUNIOR: Al--- bedo----
ALBEDO: (laughing wildly) The singing--- the singing is a mirror that--- reflects me. It describes me--- It defines me------ I've infinite telomeres!------ I'm not something against life------ I'm a link that makes life complete! (getting up, still laughing wildly)
ALLEN: Boss-----. Junior------. What the hell happened? Hey, Boss. What is THAT-----?
(A giant Gnosis boss emerges before them.)
3.7.5: Return
As translated by Henry Jerng
(We see a vision of our party plus Nephilim and Febronia, looking at a tall tree. Under the tree, a woman who looks like Febronia appears to be baby-sitting two kids at play.)
FEBRONIA: I'm sorry, Shion------, for making you remember painful thoughts------, but----- -
SHION: There are--- two of your------.
FEBRONIA: That's not me sitting over there. That's a virtual image, an illusion, created for those kids. This is a world created just for Cecily and Kass, my younger sisters. You're seeing it through the construction power of KOS-MOS' Encephalon.
ALLEN: But, they seem somewhat happy------.
FEBRONIA: Even so, I wonder if you can see this------.
(Suddenly, the scenery completely changes from green pastureland to a dark, desolate, grim-looking place.)
FEBRONIA: (continued) This is a cage that imprisons these kids------. It's a spell cast by a system created by people to control Zohar. However, for these kids, this is a real world. I want you to release my sisters from here. Please, for the sake of our (Realiens') future------.
SHION: Realiens' future?------
NEPHILIM: It's not just for the Realiens------. It's for the continued existence of people, animals, and all things conscious----. Febronia and I can only exist in this world of consciousness, and so we can only intervene the real world for a little while. Therefore, we called you, to change the future------.
SHION: Change the future?
NEPHILIM: Look.
(Nephilim lifts her right hand, and their surrounding changes to that of a star- filled space. They see a planet spotted with bright lights.)
SHION: Miltia------.
(From far away, KOS-MOS comes zooming in on Miltia.)
SHION: That's--- KOS-MOS.
(As the surface of the planet begins to form a mesh of patterns or waves, a singularity of energy pulse is fired into space in KOS-MOS' direction. Against this red beam of energy, KOS-MOS fires some blue beam to counteract it. Eventually, this ignites a huge explosion that engulfs space as far as the eye can see.)
NEPHILIM: That wave motion is a body of consciousness called "U-Du".
JUNIOR: U-Du-----.
NEPHILIM: U-Du is the source of the local phenomenological transmutation that engulfed the Miltia space. The scene you just witnessed is a vision of a future that takes place when KOS-MOS, in her original form, meets up with U-Du. Once awakened, U- Du will turn the people who try to wake "him" up and the consciousness of the man who seeks "him" into food------.
JUNIOR: Will "he" wake up?------
NEPHILIM: The future you saw just now is one possible phenomenon among infinite possibilities. However, it doesn't mean it's decided. A small wave, newly born, can spread ripples throughout everything. So, phenomena will change moment by moment, like the floating wave.
SHION: So, you're saying that we're the wave.
NEPHILIM: Before that happens, for the sake of that, I wanted you to confront the past. However, it was still unreasonable. I'm sorry.
SHION: Why us?
NEPHILIM: You came into contact with the Gnosis. But you are still "as you were". So---.
SHION: So------.
NEPHILIM: Someday, there will be a time when I can tell you about it. If you go to Miltia- --- the place where it all started-----.
SHION: And if I do go------ (Nephilim and Febronia disappear) Wait!
(A door appears before them. Shion opens it and steps through.)
(We see an image of KOS-MOS cruxified on a stone cross. The party arrives on the scene. Shion steps up to KOS-MOS and strokes her hair.)
SHION: KOS-MOS------ Here you are------. (KOS-MOS emits some unusual bright light) (gesturing the cross in a motion of prayer) You're becoming the messenger of God------.
KOS-MOS: Releasing the protection to the deep region.
(The party returns from the Encephalon dive. Shion removes her glasses. The seal to KOS-MOS' coffin is broken, and the lid lifts up. KOS-MOS awakens and gets up.)
SHION: Good morning----- KOS-MOS------.
KOS-MOS: Good morning, Shion. (scanning around to survey the other members of the team)
CHAOS: It looks like everyone returned-----.
ALLEN: (rushing toward Shion) Chief! (hugging her, to her complete surprise) ------ It's great that you're safe------.
SHION: (in Allen's embrace) Allen------.
(On Durandal's bridge, the party pays a visit to Lavis. Shion walks toward Lavis, accompanied by Lavis' guard.)
SHION: Here's the memory data of humanoid anti-Gnosis weapon KP-X, abbreviation KOS-MOS. Protection level AAA. There's no possibility of alteration.
LAVIS: (saluting Shion) (receiving the card) I'll take good care of it. It looks like we won't leave the Miltia solar system until the accusations are cleared up.
(Later, on the bridge, Mary, Shelly, Junior, and MOMO gather for a little chat.)
MARY: Yeah, it's great that we're not in the plight of being captured for anti- Federation crimes.
SHELLY: You look dazed. Did something happen?
JUNIOR: Um. Well, various things------. Frankly, I can't believe them, even now------. (MOMO seems concerned about something)
LAVIS' VOICE: Yet another important person has returned.
MARY: Ah--- Gaignun. (rushing, along with Shelly, to embrace him)
JUNIOR: Hey.
GAIGNUN: ------ Thanks for your trouble.
JUNIOR: Even so------. But------ I had remembered many disagreeable things------. ----- Shion, that girl's name was Nephilim, right?
SHION: Ye, yes.
JUNIOR: You're certain?
SHION: Yes, but------.
JUNIOR: I see------.
SHION: What's the matter?------
JUNIOR: Um, nothing------. If there's some relationship between that girl and "something" I know about------ then it looks like we're going to be very busy--- ---.
(At the park, Allen and Chaos are quietly sitting at the bench. Only Chaos seems to be enjoying the scenery outside. Allen seems troubled.)
ALLEN: The Chief cried------. (reflecting on a time when Shion visited Kevin's grave amidst a downpour) It was the second time I've seen her cry------. Because she won't say anything to anyone even when she's sad, I feel that, I know that, something is wrong. I'm not just a simple subordinate. I------ want to cry for her------. Sometimes----- - I want to do that------.
CHAOS: Allen, you can.
ALLEN: (looking at Chaos) You're a nice guy. (You listen) even when you don't know anything about me or the Chief. Sorry------ No------ Wait; I didn't want to say that------.
CHAOS: It hasn't been long since I met you and the others, but I like you, Allen.
ALLEN: You're too kind.------
CHAOS: Kindness------ binds people sometimes. Still------.
(We see Gaignun's office/room. Gaignun is sitting at his desk, looking very serious as always. Junior sits on his bed next to Mary and Shelly, who are taking a little rest.)
MAN'S VOICE: KOS-MOS' deep region records were verified today. (it's Helmar) The Federation fleet is beginning preparations to return to port, and accusations against the Second Miltia government and Kookai Foundation will be dismissed formally tomorrow. You've done well.
GAIGNUN: Thanks to your help. My appreciations. (checking that Shelly and Mary are asleep) It looks like Mizrahi's all-purpose model is fairly important.
HELMAR: Yes. I don't think that our enemy is just quietly watching and waiting. I want you to take care.
GAIGNUN: I'm aware of that. Well--- next time, how do you think things will play out----- -?
(Shion is lying in bed with her eyes wide open.)
SHION: Humph----- Though a time of emergency, to hand company's highest secrets over to the Federation government without authorization------ This may mean my head. (thinking about MOMO) MOMO was not well, was she-----.
(Thinking about Allen...)
ALLEN: Chief, well, (obviously nervous about something) won't you go and have tea (with me)? Miss Shelly told me about a delicious tea shop-----.
SHION: Sorry------. I don't feel like it right now------.
(Back to Shion, as she tosses in her bed.)
SHION: Can't I say it to other people?----- (tossing some more) Nephilim----- Febronia----- Freeing those two--- Febronia's younger sisters-----. And what's the deal with KOS-MOS and U-Du---? How should I confront the past---. I don't understand--- anything.
3.8: KOOKAI FOUNDATION REVISITED
From the point Shion comes out of the Encephalon until she enters the Song of Nephilim.
3.8.1: Song of Nephilim Shows Up
Starting from when MOMO goes missing, as translated by jetfuel. About 25 minutes.
(Shion, KOS-MOS, Ziggy, chaos, and Jr. encounter Allen in a hallway.)
ZIGGY: Have you seen MOMO?
ALLEN: No. She still hasn't come back? I thought she was definitely with...
ZIGGY: She stayed behind by herself to tend to the wounded residents. When we went to meet her, she was gone. We thought she came back here, but...
JR. Taking care of 'em... All right, let's scan our 100-Types. They're the same model, so they should be able to give us a clue.
ZIGGY: Please do. Remember that the Gnosis could still invade the colony again at any time.
---
(MOMO is lying on the floor somewhere dark, and she gets up.)
MOMO: Where am I? It's very cold. What in the world...?
(We see in MOMO's memory when she runs after what she thinks is her father.)
MOMO: Papa!!
(Albedo shows up, and we are returned to the present.)
MOMO: No good. I can't remember. I wonder what this is... This smell... It's making me very scared... It's faint, but... Where's it coming from...? Who's there!
(MOMO finds the out-of-commission 100-Type Realien.)
(Ships and AGWSs battling Gnosis in space.)
UNDERLING: Gnosis fleet becoming even larger! Closing in from the port side in 60 seconds! (or something like that) Second AGWS defense line isn't holding up!
PICARD LOOKING DUDE: Regrouping the armada comes first! Hey! What's the 100-Types' obeservation showing!
UNDERLING 2 Same as before. The Gnosis are concentrating on the Kookai Foundation. They're grouping at a radius of 1600Km.
PICARD: Of course. Helmar... So it was true about Miltia's inheritance... All personnel, reset targeting for Kookai Foundation! (something)
(The ships all turn to target the Foundation.)
MOMO: Number 0097. MOMO's sister. That's right, isn't it. This place is... Papa's... This is the first chance I've had to meet you, and we can't exchange any words, but I've wanted to ask so much about you, and about Papa. (the 100-Type stirs) Are you still alive!? Hey, are you all right? Who did this to you??
(The 100-Type puts her hand to MOMO's face and shows her a memory: Mizrahi approaches the tank in which MOMO is floating, Emeralda-style.)
MIZRAHI: Soon. Soon you will be born into this world. And when you do, you should do many good deeds... If you do... If you do, you... You can become human! You can become my Sakura!
MOMO: Papa...
(The 100-Type shows MOMO another memory: Albedo cracks his knuckles, hits the 100-Type hard, and laughs.)
MOMO: Just now... Was that your memory? Thank you. For showing MOMO what Papa was like. (He's) here, isn't he... (The guy) from just now...
(MOMO walks off, and the 100-Type twitches a bit.)
(on the Durandal's bridge)
OPERATOR: The fleet is targeting the Foundation! Really... What are they thinking at a time like this!?
SHELLY: I know the reason. Look at the formation of the Gnosis. The Gnosis have centered around our colony.
GAIGNUN: How're the Zohars in our Isolation Area?
MARY: Sleeping! Attract Inhibitor output is also at normal!
GAIGNUN: If we assume that the Zohars inside the Durandal are not calling the Gnosis...
JR. (psychically to Gaignun) Gaignun... What we've been hearing... this is it, isn't it.
GAIGNUN: (psychically back to Jr.) Yes. There's no mistaking it. Even though it seems that everyone else can't hear it.
SHION: Hey, Don't you hear something?... A song... or something...?
ALLEN: A...song? (Jr. and Gaignun look worried) I don't hear anything. Isn't it just your imagination?
SHION: Really...? I swear I can hear it, though...
JR. (psychically) Shion can hear it...?
GAIGNUN: (psychically) But... What is this uneasy feeling? It hasn't left my mind for some time now... This image...
JR. (psychically) You too? It's the same with me. It's like being dragged into darkness, this sensation...
JR. AND GAIGNUN (looking up to the Gnosis ships outside) It can't be...!
(MOMO is walking in the dark)
MOMO: I guess... It wasn't my imagination at all. This is... (she stumbles upon a very large number of dead 100-Types, falls to her knees, and heaves, or cries, or something)
ALBEDO: (showing up from out of nowhere) Those tears... Beautiful! Tears of pity for others... Are the most precious fluid in this world. Speaking of which... (?) Do you have that capability? Isn't mourning for the dead a characteristic of "people"?
MOMO: You... Did this, didn't you?
ALBEDO: My adorable Kirschwasser... But... Can this be called a "dead body"? (breaks the arm of the realien he's holding and laughs as MOMO flinches) "Frailty, thy name is woman." (from Hamlet) No... That's wrong. You (plural)... Were never even in a womb to begin with... (tosses the dead realien) (pulls out a knife and grabs MOMO, holding it close to her face) People fear their own fragility. With the smell of death called the outside world, they escaped from the used-up oceans. They built up this world. Culture. Civilization. All of it born by frail "people". It's a raw, warm world of illusions. Tied up with a sash of virtue. Waste equal to a nun's distracted thoughts. And inside of that... You depend on flesh. Continuing on with a physical soul. Without an unclean thought. A spiraling surge with no impurities. That is is a mixture of fire, breath, and soul. What could this be called, but an "angel"? A consciousness without impurity made new. It's a necessary thing. It's "reality". And it is definitely... Something I will never stop seeking!! (chops off his own freaking arm) (advances toward MOMO waving his glowing wound, until it instantly grows back) Bam! (laugs insanely) (cuts off his own head) (MOMO falls down) (laughs more) (disembodied head talking) Ah, don't tremble like that, my adorable Pescher. Don't make me feel sad like Pescher is... Ah? Just now... You pictured in your heart the shadow of a man, didn't you... Who is that redhead? Redhead... Rubedo! Is it Rubedo!? Oh, this is nice!! (laughs, then stomps his own head apart; a new one grows back) He said while he was vomiting blood... "The barley that falls to the ground and dies remains just a grain", he said. Barley? With barley and such, the more you sweep up and cast aside, the better it grows. Just like this neck! (laugs really insanely) How about you? Lovely Pescher... (MOMO passes out) (stands over her and laughs insanely)
(Armada ships begin charging up to fire at the Foundation)
(aboard the armada ship)
UNDERLING: Captain! We have not received an attack order from the armada headquarters!
PICARD: (something)!? The truth of their treason is obvious! We'll end this! Target Kookai Foundation! All ships, attack!!
(some kind of wacked out wave-thing disintegrates a bunch of Gnosis ships)
(aboard Durandal)
JR. What was that light just now!
(aboard the armada ship)
PICARD: That crazy--! That "that thing" should come to this place...!
(aboard Durandal)
SHION: (looking up) Daybreak? (name of the big ship, I think)
(we see a Rhine Maiden)
VOICE OVER COMMUNICATOR: Woglinde II, Wellgunde, Floshilde, no abnormalities. Rhine Maidens, nominal. Thirty seconds until second strike.
WELLGUNDE VOICE: Wellgunde, confirmed
FLOsHILDE VOICE Floshilde, confirmed
(we see the much larger ship traveling with the Maidens, and then inside, Wilhelm in his office.)
VOICE: Second strike, preparation complete. All ships in position.
(Wilhelm gives the signal, and the four ships deliver another wave, disintegrating the remainder of the Gnosis ships.)
SHION: The Rhine Maidens... That was perfect...
MIYUKI: (offscreen) Senpai! (this is a Japanese word used to refer to one's superior, but you knew that)
SHION: Miyuki!? Where did you come from! (Miyuki's face shows up on a screen)
MIYUKI: Hee hee! How 'bout that! Great, eh? Did you see the Rhine Maidens!? I put in a request for reassignment to the 2nd department and got accepted! Otherwise I wouldn't be here looking at you right now!
SHION: The 2nd department--!? You--
MIYUKI: I'll explain later. Is KOS-MOS there?
SHION: Hm? Uh, yeah, she's here...
MIYUKI: I'm sending something over now. (a Vector briefcase materializes)
SHION: (opening the case) Miyuki, this...
MIYUKI: It's centered somewhere in this area of space; Some kind of point of energy is forming. It's very likely that that's what's summoning the Gnosis!
SHION: Point of energy, you say?
MIYUKI: Yes. Our observation room tells us there's clearly something artificial there. And, if we link KOS-MOS's D.S.S.S. sensor and the Daybreak's mainframe, We can find the point of energy's exact location. It seems to us that it's being cloaked by some sort of sub-space(?) system. There should be some disturbance in the space, So if we open it up, we should be able to find if there's something hidden inside!
SHION: So then, the PT Cartridge... So... Do you even know what this is?
MIYUKI: Of course! ...Is what I'd like to say, but... I just transferred here, so... I don't really know.
SHION: Really... This is a weapon that creates a local phase transition to destroy everthing in the vicinity! Even though it's just "local", if used correctly it has the power to annihilate an entire star! Using it in such a concentrated area would be absurd.
KOS-MOS: Shion.
SHION: What is it, KOS-MOS?
KOS-MOS: If we restrict the level of mass to phase transation, Activation without effect to the Federation Armada or the Kookai Foundation is feasible.
SHION: Can you do that?
KOS-MOS: Please trust me. I was made for this purpose.
MIYUKI: Even the Rhine maidens have a limit to their attack. Please go for it quickly while we deal with the appearing Gnosis!
SHION: But...
JR. Shion... This is the Song of Nephilim. There's no mistaking it.
SHION: Song of Nephilim? What is that?
JR. It's the final result of Joachim Mizrahi's research while he was alive. It was the Song that made Miltia to perish, and the Gnosis appear! We have to do something before everything goes insane.
SHION: Everything goes insane...?
JR. We still haven't found MOMO! Please, hurry up!
SHION: Yes, but...
ZIGGY: Have we found MOMO yet?
OPERATOR: We're still searching, but we have not found her.
ZIGGY: Is that so. Shion, decide. If more Gnosis show up, it's over.
SHION: All right. Let's try doing the only thing we can do. (KOS-MOS floating in space) All right, KOS-MOS. Restrict the phase transition to a feasible amount, okay? We only need to find the source of the point of energy.
KOS-MOS: Understood. Adjusting phase transition mass level. 0.11 MPT. Transition time 4.8. Set to negative 38 of 10. Loading cartridge. (KOS-MOS's gun gets reallllly big)
MIYUKI: D.S.S.S. - mainframe bypass secured. Beginning scanning in all directions.
KOS-MOS: Direction 8018, (U.M.N. something) distortion discovered. It's faint, but from the distortion is coming a column pulse.
SHION: That's it! And the vector?
KOS-MOS: Vector confirmed. Awaiting command.
SHION: Shelly! How are all ships' energy shields?
SHELLY: Preparation complete. Whenever you're ready.
SHION: Roger! KOS-MOS! Phase transition cannon, fire!
(KOS-MOS fires, and a huge inverted pyramid appears)
(We see Albedo holding MOMO, as the walls shake. It becomes apparent that they are inside the pyramid.)
ALBEDO: Sooner than I expected. (sets MOMO down) The "key" sleeping inside you... Shall I carefully search for it? (inserts his hand into MOMO's torso as if it was liquid. MOMO wakes up.)
MOMO: Stop... Please don't... come inside... of MOMO... (she flashes back to when Jr. gave her the bullet) Jr.... Ziggy... MOMO... is scared...!
(back on the Durandal)
GAIGNUN: Still...
JR. It's just like before... It hasn't changed at all...
SHION: That's... The Song of Nephilim? Professor Mizrahi's... Miltia's...
MOMO: (psychically?) Help me... Jr....
JR. MOMO's... MOMO's inside there!
GAIGNUN: Is it true?
MARY: Scanning!
OPERATOR: 100-Type Realien Prototye "MOMO's" location confirmed! Inside the phase distortion!
ALLEN: MOMO...! Why is she in such a place?
JR. Shit!! Albedo! It's him! When I heard MOMO's voice, I felt him too!
GAIGNUN: Albedo? I now understand the uneasy feeling I've been having. And why she is in such a place.
ZIGGY: What do you mean.
GAIGNUN: She--MOMO-- was left by Joachim Mizrahi. She had an essential recording, because she is a special Realien. Albedo and U-TIC have both been seeking it. Since long ago.
ALLEN: Who is Albedo?
JR. He's what I cut off and threw away. He's my own dark side.
ALLEN: Dark side...?
ZIGGY: Jr., bring this ship near the Song of Nephilim. You don't need to go right up next to it. If you could lend me a small ship, that would be adequate.
JR. Wait up! I know without you telling me. I am going to save MOMO. Whatever happens.
ZIGGY: Stop it.
JR. And if I don't!?
ZIGGY: When someone close to them is in trouble, people let go of reason. And it always ends in grief. I have seen many of my colleagues end up like that.
JR. You think I'm like them!?
ZIGGY: Aren't you? This counterpart of yours called Albedo. When you confront him, can you remain calm? If you can say yes to that, then I won't say any more. But if not...
JR. Is that how it is? That's a problem, huh! Are you saying you've lived through more fights than I have? Tell me! How you've got the skill to stay so dry!
ZIGGY: Have nothing in your head but numbers and tactics. Do not think of the face, voice, or memories of the one who is important to you. Even if you think it is heartless. Too strong of a noise will ruin everything. That is what I have learned in these one hundred years.
JR. When humans are replaced by numbers, that will be the end... Cyborg.
ZIGGY: Jr. Hold back thinking about what your counterpart will do to MOMO, and your personal feelings. If you do, you can save MOMO. That's the advice of an old man. You should listen to it.
(Text conversation in which they talk about how they should use the Elsa to go to the Song, and Shion performing the obligatory "please, you have to let me come with you!" routine.)
3.8.2: To the Song
(the Rhine Maidens and the Daybreak are blowing up Gnosis as they appear, and the Elsa is cruising toward the Song.)
(inside the Elsa)
HAMMER: Confirmed possible docking location on the side! Captain!
MATHEWS: All right! Let's go there! Tonny! Be careful!
TONNY: Roger! Now heading to dock to the side--
SHION: Wait!
TONNY: Huh?
SHION: Tonny... The top...
TONNY: Are you telling me to go up!?
SHION: Please, just pass by it once.
TONNY: All right... Just once! I dunno what's gonna happen though!
SHION: Thank you...
(the Elsa flies up to see the top of the Song)
SHION: (flashing back to when she was a child, looking out the window of her mother's hospital room) There's no mistaking it. This is what I could see from the hospital window... That place.
(the Elsa moves in to dock to the Song, and it's time to go in)
3.9: SONG OF NEPHILIM
All the stuff going on in there.
3.9.1: In The Song
(Shion, Jr., Ziggy, chaos, and KOS-MOS enter the Song to find MOMO collapsed on the floor)
JR. (Shaking MOMO gently) MOMO! MOMO! (MOMO looks up blankly) MOMO! Did something bad happen!? No way... Did he, already...? Shit! That son of a bitch! MOMO's consciousness... He will NOT get away with this! You wait. I'm going to go take care of this.
SHION: Jr.!
JR. That bastard Albedo went and reversed her Spiritual Link.
ZIGGY: Reversed her Spiritual Link...?
JR. The reverse of the psychic link Gaignan and I have... He can forcibly take in someone else's mind, invade all the way into their consciousness and recover the memories he wants.
SHION: WTF! Then, MOMO's consciousness...
JR. Yeah. So, everyone just go back. I'll take care of this myself.
CHAOS: Wait. Going by yourself would be ridiculous.
(a long look is exchanged between JR. and chaos)
JR. Sorry. This is... "Our" problem. So...
CHAOS: But...
(MOMO walks up to Jr.)
JR. MOMO... You mean, you want to come too? (MOMO nods)
SHION: I'm going too.
CHAOS: Shion...
SHION: It's like I said before. The destruction of Miltia, the appearance of the Gnosis, it's all because of this Song. If this place has anything to do with "that place" that I know of, Then it's... My problem, as well.
3.9.2: Confrontation with Albedo
This begins when you enter the central chamber in the Song of Nephilim and meet Albedo.
JR. Albedo, you...
ALBEDO: (MOMO in his arms) Oh, you're still alive? Don't give me some stale speech. Those words have no meaning to me. So, Have you told this little girl yet? How you and I are the same kind of monster?
JR. MOMO!
(the MOMO behind him starts choking him)
FAKE MOMO: Give me... What's inside you...
JR. MO...MO...
(Fake MOMO turns into Kirchwasser)
SHION: MOMO!
ZIGGY: No, it's not! This is...
ALBEDO: A soul that does not depend on flesh... Clean, and without fixed memories. Only a longing for Rubedo.
JR. (releasing a blast of energy and knocking Kirschwasser back) STOP IT!!
ALBEDO: Did you see that, Pescher? This is his true nature. A consciousness that clings to life is utterly pathetic. So ugly... Rubedo...
MOMO: Jr....
(Albedo sticks his arm back into MOMO)
JR. Albedo! (drawing gun) Just try doing anything else to MOMO!
ALBEDO: Doing anything else? You mean like this? (shoves his arm into MOMO)
JR. Bastard!! (shoots)
ALBEDO: (regenerating his freshly blown-off arm) Ah, what a lovely pain... Pain is essential to verifying one's own existence. Think about it and remember, Rubedo... What you should do about me... Or has all this time made you forget?
JR. You can say whatever you want; give back MOMO!
ALBEDO: No good. You'll let me continue getting the part I need from her. And I'll make you remember... What you are. (shoves arm into MOMO again)
JR. SHUT UP. Just the words of someone so easily polluted by U-Du and who's now running wild.
SHION: Jr....
ALBEDO: Polluted? No... Evolved! At that time, I knew just a fraction of our power. The force that flew into me, is now a part of me! Not like the fragmented existence of the rest of you! I am a perfect current of consciousness!
JR. S-- Stop it!!
ALBEDO: (moving his arm back and forth inside MOMO) But it feels so good!! Don't you want to try it, too!?
JR. MOMO! (shoots Albedo twice, blowing off his head, which is then regenerated)
ZIGGY: Impossible! Was that... Nanomachines?
SHION: No... Nanomachines can't regenerate that fast, and... A type that can regenerate the head hasn't even been invented.
CHAOS: He's U.R.T.V. The same as Jr.
SHION: Eh!?
CHAOS: They exist only to eliminate U-Du.
SHION: U-Du...
ALBEDO: Rubedo... You still don't remember? No, that's not it... Fear? Is that it? Are you afraid? That's it! Naturally... You are nothing but a body. Rubedo. How sad for this little girl who has been clinging to a cruel person like you! (the bullet Jr. gave MOMO tumbles across the floor) A bit more... After this, everything in the little girl will have flown into me. Do you know what that means? You know, don't you, Rubedo... So... how much can you endure? (shoving his arm in as far as it will go) (MOMO screams as Albedo looks satisfied)
JR. STOP IT!!!!! (releases a burst of energy that seems to stop time)
(we see a memory of Joachim Mizrahi)
MIZRAHI: This is as far as I go. Now, your awakening... can't be prevented by anyone. I can't do anything but postpone that time. So I'll just have to trust you... Time continues on... Eventually you will meet them(fem) So for that time...
VOICE OF ALBEDO: Is that... Joachim Mizrahi? Show me... Everything you entrusted Pescher with! (memories go flying by)
(back in reality, the burst of energy knocks Albedo over)
JR. (running over) MOMO! Are you all right?
ALBEDO: (laughing and looking at KOS-MOS) Is that it? Is that how it is? (looking at Shion, then both KOS-MOS and Shion) (his AGWS shows up, and he jumps onto it) But now, Rubedo... Let's have a bit of fun for a while. (inside AGWS) So, come on! Our time is now. (Kirschwasser gets sucked into the console)
(fight Albedo in his AGWS, Shimeon)
3.9.2: Confrontation with Albedo
This begins when you enter the central chamber in the Song of Nephilim and meet Albedo.
JR. Albedo, you...
ALBEDO: (MOMO in his arms) Oh, you're still alive? Don't give me some stale speech. Those words have no meaning to me. So, Have you told this little girl yet? How you and I are the same kind of monster?
JR. MOMO!
(the MOMO behind him starts choking him)
FAKE MOMO: Give me... What's inside you...
JR. MO...MO...
(Fake MOMO turns into Kirchwasser)
SHION: MOMO!
ZIGGY: No, it's not! This is...
ALBEDO: A soul that does not depend on flesh... Clean, and without fixed memories. Only a longing for Rubedo.
JR. (releasing a blast of energy and knocking Kirschwasser back) STOP IT!!
ALBEDO: Did you see that, Pescher? This is his true nature. A consciousness that clings to life is utterly pathetic. So ugly... Rubedo...
MOMO: Jr....
(Albedo sticks his arm back into MOMO)
JR. Albedo! (drawing gun) Just try doing anything else to MOMO!
ALBEDO: Doing anything else? You mean like this? (shoves his arm into MOMO)
JR. Bastard!! (shoots)

CHAOS: He's U.R.T.V. The same as Jr.
SHION: Eh!?
CHAOS: They exist only to eliminate U-Du.
SHION: U-Du...
ALBEDO: Rubedo... You still don't remember? No, that's not it... Fear? Is that it? Are you afraid? That's it! Naturally... You are nothing but a body. Rubedo. How sad for this little girl who has been clinging to a cruel person like you! (the bullet Jr. gave MOMO tumbles across the floor) A bit more...

(shoving his arm in as far as it will go) (MOMO screams as Albedo looks satisfied)
JR. STOP IT!!!!! (releases a burst of energy that seems to stop time)
(we see a memory of Joachim Mizrahi)
MIZRAHI: This is as far as I go. Now, your awakening... can't be prevented by anyone. I can't do anything but postpone that time. So I'll just have to trust you... Time continues on... Eventually you will meet them(fem) So for that time...
VOICE OF ALBEDO: Is that... Joachim Mizrahi? Show me... Everything you entrusted Pescher with! (memories go flying by)
(back in reality, the burst of energy knocks Albedo over)
JR. (running over) MOMO! Are you all right?
ALBEDO: (laughing and looking at KOS-MOS) Is that it? Is that how it is? (looking at Shion, then both KOS-MOS and Shion) (his AGWS shows up, and he jumps onto it) But now, Rubedo... Let's have a bit of fun for a while. (inside AGWS) So, come on! Our time is now. (Kirschwasser gets sucked into the console)
(fight Albedo in his AGWS, Shimeon)
ALBEDO: (jumping down from his AGWS) Pretty good, Rubedo. You're getting closer to how you used to be. But it's still not enough. Back then, you were more like this! (starts shooting energy)
JR. Albedo! Don't get carried away!! (releasing burst of energy to meet Albedo's)
(aboard the Durandal)
GAIGNUN: Jr.!
MARY: Little Lord! No!
(back in the Song)
ALBEDO: What's wrong, Rubedo? Wasn't the existence called "you" at that level? Show me! Everything you have!
CHAOS: No, Jr.! If you get caught up in this any further... You'll...!
(MOMO awakens and sees Kirschwasser nearby)
KIRSCHWASSER: Papa always only looked at you. So, we... We all... Wanted to be... you...
MOMO: It's not like that. We should all be together. But... (she stands to face Albedo and Jr.)
ALBEDO: Yes, Rubedo... Just a bit more... Just a bit more and you'll have what you wanted! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!!
(Jr. expands his energy field)
CHAOS: Jr.!
(The energy fields start decreasing)
SHION: What... MOMO?
JR. MOMO?
MOMO: You've taken so much from me... But so have I... A part of you has flown into me. So...
ALBEDO: So? So you're doing that?
MOMO: Why do you torment everyone? MOMO's sisters liked something in you. Even looking in your cruel eyes, they believed in you! Their feelings... Their hearts... Don't crush them!
ALBEDO: Crush? Sisters, you say? Look at your feet! (indicates dead Realiens) What flower did all these dead bodies bloom from? Yes! You, Pescher. It was all Mizrahi. Your beloved Papa desired too much.
MOMO: Papa?
ALBEDO: Yes. Right, Rubedo?
JR. You... Just try saying any more! Come on!!
SHION: This can't be forgiven! They aren't your toys!! Every one of them has a will and a life! That...
VOICE: You're making me sick! (?)
SHION: Huh?
(a light radiates from above)
ALBEDO: A new face?
(a blue-cloaked, masked figure appears)
BLUE: If you've got all this time to play around, you should attend to your duties. These ones are not your current objective.
ALBEDO: Tell him, "that" belongs to me.
JR. Stop!! (runs after Albedo and is stopped by some energy field... lots of weird energy fields around here)
BLUE: Where do you think you're going? Won't you let him have some freedom for a little while? I'll be your opponent for now.
(Albedo flies away in his AGWS and starts looking through memories acquired from MOMO. We see a circular structure in space, which then fades. Albedo reaches his hand out to a light.)
ALBEDO: So this is the Y-Data.
VOICE: I do not exist for you. (KOS-MOS appears)
ALBEDO: Stupid protective measures. This thing... (KOS-MOS fades out, and a nude Shion fades in) Wh-- You!! Hm. All these extraneous traps... But... How interesting! How very interesting!!
3.10: PROTO MERKABAH
Let's wrap this up.
3.10.1: Showdown with Albedo
This begins when you enter the big ol' room at the bottom of the long elevator, and ends when you fight the final boss.
(The party runs along a walkway and enters a large room to find Albedo standing atop a big device.)
ALBEDO: You're late. I'm tired of waiting for you, Rubedo. Look. This guy's already full. (?) (Albedo jumps down) Well then, what are we going to do? Shal we continue what we started before? (Albedo glows and releases some sort of energy projection of himself)
JR. Wh-- What the heck is that!? Are you doing that?
ALBEDO: It's nothing to be surprised at. This is the power of will-- The inherent power that everyone has. It's nothing more than your own perception causing you to feel it. But, perception and pain are one and the same. So, feel it-- You, too. Feel this pain!!!
(Time to fight Albedo again. Kick his butt for me.)
JR. Answer me! What are you doing this for!? Is there some kind of meaning you can gain from this!?
ALBEDO: If you're asking for a reason, I have one. This...Rubedo... I am doing this for you.
JR. For-- me?
ALBEDO: Have you forgotten, Rubedo? That time 14 years ago... What you did to us!? (Jr. begins having a flashback) The cause of it all was you... Because you closed off your mind, our spiritual link was cut off... And one by one all of us were invaded by the "Song." You left all of us behind inside that fear... Did you think we had any other choice than to entrust you with the Song? Remember!! And realize what you did!!
JR. Surely I-- that time--
ALBEDO: (laughs) Admit it! You coward!!
JR. Yeah! I was afraid! Instinctively!
SHION: Jr.--
ALBEDO: Yes, you have to atone for what you did to us! I represent everyone that you erased! But... The truth is, I'm thankful... Rubedo... That it's just me who was able to find the way. To a new world...
JR. A new... world?
ALBEDO: That is my only purpose. It's a simple thing. Isn't it?
JR. I don't know what the hell you're talking about, psycho!
(Albedo jumps back atop the big device and laughs.)
ALBEDO: At first, I was doubtful. But now I know better. Confidence came from being made to go through that imperfect experience. This is just a little side show to ascertain that. Do your best to make it enjoyable.
(The huge device opens up to reveal a big Gnosis and a floating gyroscope- looking artifact.)
JR. Bastard... Have you been fusing Gnosis with a nuclear reactor!?
ALBEDO: With the use of(?) this guy, Proto Merkabah cannot be stopped! You know it. Oh yeah, and time... There isn't much of it left. Just about 5 minutes... So... How far do you think that body of yours can go?
MOMO: How cruel... Jr. is trapped, and he's happy about it!
ALBEDO: See ya! If you survive, let's meet again! Rubedo. My fragment.
JR. Albedo!
MOMO: Jr.! Look out!
JR. What!?
(Jr. gets met by a field of energy from the Gnosis. The Gnosis solidifies.)
JR. Damn it... We have to do something about this first?
ZIGGY: Yes. This is our first priority.
CHAOS: Everyone, be careful! That's not just some normal device!
SHION: I know. Let's go, KOS-MOS.
KOS-MOS: Roger. All battle systems, entering fully activated mode.
(Fight the final boss.)
3.10.2: The End
This begins after you beat the final boss and continues until the credit sequence.
(The party is running out of the exploding room.)
SHION: We'll get caught up in the explosion. Let's hurry up and evacuate this area. (falls down)
ZIGGY: What is this vibration?
MOMO: (something)?
CHAOS: No. It's very slight, but I can feel that it's heading in a certain direction.
KOS-MOS: Shion. Proto Merkabah's (self-destruct mechanism?) has been initialized. The descent into 2nd Miltia is commencing.
(We see Proto Merkabah thrust toward the planet, and then Albedo in his AGWS.)
ALBEDO: Well. Shall I watch? Your power...
(Back inside Proto Merkabah...)
SHION: Is it true, KOS-MOS?
KOS-MOS: Yes. If we continue falling at our current speed, We will enter the atmosphere in approximately 8 minutes.
ZIGGY: Looks like we were set up from the beginning.
JR. Bastard! It's just one awful thing after another!...
SHION: We've got to do something... If an object of this size crashes, 2nd Miltia will...
KOS-MOS: At our current angle of approach, according to my calculations, Dividing the main plant into about 28000 parts, 99.6% of them will be burnt up before impact.
SHION: Is there some way to detach each part?
MOMO: Please wait! MOMO will consult the records inside her. (she does) The control room... We can control the detachment from plant control room number 33!
CHAOS: Let's hurry! There's no time!
(Everyone heads to the control room and MOMO begins working on the panel.)
MOMO: What--
ZIGGY: Is there some sort of problem?
MOMO: The only time limit we can set on total section detachment is one minute. At that rate, We won't be able to make it to the Elsa in time!
ZIGGY: Isn't there any place other than this where you can control it? How about remote operation?
MOMO: It's impossible. The system won't accept any control except from here.
JR. Dammit! Isn't there some way to prevent it from crashing without killing ourselves?
SHION: Any other way? There should be something. There must be, something...
MOMO: It's no good! I looked up everything and there's no other way than from right here!
KOS-MOS: Please go on ahead.
SHION: What is it, KOS-MOS?
KOS-MOS: Shion. All of you please go ahead to the Elsa. I will stay behind and activate the detachment.
SHION: Wait a second!! Stay behind!?
KOS-MOS: The plant will be entering the atmosphere very shortly. No more than 4 minutes 28 seconds remain before we reach the critical altitude. Hurry.
SHION: But--!
KOS-MOS: My self-preservation instinct is normal. I do not intend to die with this plant. Do not worry. At my movement rate, I can reach the Elsa in one minute.
ZIGGY: Is it all right?
KOS-MOS: Yes. This offers the greatest chance of success.
ZIGGY: All right. Let's go, Shion.
SHION: But--!
JR. It's OK. Believe in KOS-MOS! She said she'd definitely catch up! So hurry!
(They start running.)
MOMO: Miss Shion...
CHAOS: Shion.
SHION: KOS-MOS! You must come back!! All right!? You must!!
(They escape while KOS-MOS begins the detachment. Joanne starts to sing "Pain" for us and it's time to get teary-eyed.)
ZIGGY: Hurry! This place is going to collapse, too!
(They rush into the Elsa, except for Shion.)
JR. Captain!
MATHEWS: Kid. What is this shaking? What the hell is going on out there?
JR. Proto Merkabah is about to fall into the planet's atmosphere! If it keeps going like this we'll end up crashing!
MATHEWS: Eh!?
JR. So we just set the blocks to detach. That's where the shaking is coming from. Plus... The detailed explanation will come later! Get ready for takeoff!!
MATHEWS: Get ready...? Aren't we taking off right away!?
JR. KOS-MOS is still inside!! We're waiting for her.
MATHEWS: Huh? Wait a second. You detached it. Isn't it dangerous here?
JR. Yeah, I know!! But I said wait, so we wait!!
(Outside the Elsa)
SHION: Please... Hurry up and come back! KOS-MOS...
(On the Bridge)
ALLEN: Captain! Above us!
MATHEWS: What?
(A big chunk hits the Elsa)
TONNY: Captain! This is a dangerous situation, here.
MATHEWS: I know! Kid?
JR. Shit... What is she doing!? Hurry up and do it! Hurry!
(The area around the Elsa starts collapsing heavily)
TONNY: What are we gonna do!
MATHEWS: Kid!!
JR. All right!! Let's take off!!
(They do)
SHION: What-- Wait!! Captain!!
MATHEWS: That was close...
SHION: KOS-MOS!! Please go back, captain!! KOS-MOS is still inside!!!
MATHEWS: I'm not an idiot. Don't you want to escape? We're getting out of here (without her).
SHION: But!
NEPHILIM's VOICE Relax, Shion. It's all right. Open your heart's eyes.
SHION: Heart's... Eyes?
(Shion sees KOS-MOS running)
SHION: Captain! The front, port-side wall 400 meters ahead... Get on it!
MATHEWS: Ah...
SHION: It's all right; hurry up!
MATHEWS: Who are you to tell me to hurry up--
TONNY: Shion! Port side, 400 meters, right?
SHION: Mr. Tonny!
MATHEWS: He-- Hey, Tonny!
(Tonny steers the Elsa to the wall. KOS-MOS comes bursting out.)
SHION: KOS-MOS! (catches KOS-MOS) (Ziggy helps) Mr. Ziggy!
(Shion and KOS-MOS rest in the Elsa)
SHION: Really... You should really go on a diet! (hugs KOS-MOS) Thank goodness!!
(Proto Merkabah breaks up. Tonny guides the Elsa through the collapsing Proto Merkabah, Star Wars style.)
MATHEWS: Tonny!
TONNY: We're busting outta here!
ZIGGY: (something) is strange. Let's get to the bridge.
MATHEWS: What is it! I can't hear you!
ALLEN: Our altitude is too deep into the atmosphere!
MATHEWS: Can't you pull us out of it?
TONNY: No good! None of the controls are any use!
HAMMER: Stupid! (technobabble)
TONNY: (technobabble about logical drive)
MATHEWS: Dumbass! Quit crying and do something! You want to escape from this, don't you?
HAMMER: (technobabble about shield)
(Elsewhere on the Elsa)
NEPHILIM's VOICE What are you going to do?
(Chaos looks at his hands, and KOS-MOS shows up.)
CHAOS: You... Wait!
KOS-MOS: Your pain... Please give it to me.
(On the bridge)
HAMMER: Rear hatch is open!
MATHEWS: What kind of idiot, at a time like this... Do they want to get burned up!?
SHION: It can't be! KOS-MOS! You--
KOS-MOS: Shion. I will now protect the Elsa with my energy field. Meanwhile, please recover the ship.
SHION: Don't say impossible things! What do you think you can do with that body of yours?
KOS-MOS: It is all right. According to calculations, 1 minute 20 seconds will be enough to save the Elsa.
SHION: If you do that you'll be completely burned up!! Quit acting crazy!
KOS-MOS: I am happy that I could be useful to you.
HAMMER: External camera malfunction!
SHION: KOS-MOS!
(Chaos' hands glow. We see Nephilim, Abel, and Wilhelm. KOS-MOS spreads her arms and her head gear flies off.)
SHION: Please, KOS-MOS! Stop, already!!!
(KOS-MOS's eyes glow blue, and her huge white wings protect the Elsa. The Elsa cruises above the surface of the planet.)
MATHEWS: We're saved... Are we? (Elevates his arm-chair) Hey! Sis!
SHION: Eh?
MATHEWS: Bow sub-camera-- Transfer to it.
HAMMER: Roger.
(The screen shows KOS-MOS standing on the bow of the ship)
SHION: KOS-MOS... KOS-MOS!
(Cue "Kokoro" and credits.)

BOOK 4: GAME WALKTHROUGH
Detailed help for the exploration and battle sections of the game. As a general rule, whenever dialogue is written on the screen rather than spoken, this walkthrough applies. Spoken sections are cutscenes and are covered by the Story Translation in Book 3. We're not going to be writing these sections in the strict order that they appear in the game; if there is one area that you'd like to see a walkthrough for, please let us know so that we have an idea of what the demand is like.
4.1: WOGLINDE
All gameplay that takes place between the beginning of the game and the point where Shion leaves the ship, as covered by Ashley and jetfuel.
4.1.1: Tutorial
This tutorial explains basic combat in the game. Most of this is covered in the appropriate sections of this guide. If you want to try each of the tutorials, talk to KOS-MOS and choose one of the options, then engage the enemy. If you'd like to get out of the tutorial and enter the Encephalon simulation, choose the last option.
4.1.2: Encephalon
You will start inside KOS-MOS's simulator training area. Advance to through the big doors to inside. Inside on the first floor is a door that is blocked. Use the ladder, upstairs there is a room you can't enter. The mission key is in this room. Proceed to the left go down and around you will fight a AGWS and you can save here. Than you can enter the room that is blocked from the other side. After getting the key blast the door and enter the big locked door. Now you will have a boss fight.
Note, after this you can speak to the man working on the VR machine to enter the training area again. If you return a second time you will find the "Battle Passport" where the boss was last time.
4.1.3: Around the Woglinde
Now you need to give the research data to the captain. Head towards the bridge, there are maps to look at on the wall along the way if you get lost. On your way you will find that the easy way to get there is blocked because of repairs. So instead go to Shion's room which is right across from the last map you passed. You can save here. Now pass through the Realien Control Room. Along the way thru you can talk to a man who will give you the "Drill Passport". If you don't get it from him now, you can pick it off of the floor in this room later. After that you can play a little drilling game. Also, keep in mind that near the Zohar is a worker who will take your email address and later give you the opportunity to receive some weapons for KOS-MOS. Check the email section for details. When you reach the elevator to the bridge take it to the bridge. After going to the bridge and talking to the Captain now you need to go and talk with the people in the AGWS hangar. Then return to Shion's room and go to sleep.
4.1.4: Gnosis Attack
Now you need to get your weapon from the AGWS hangar. You can't survive a fight with any of the Gnosis right now. You have to avoid all contact with them, after the first Gnosis which you have no choice but to go through. After you get your weapon you will still need to avoid contact because now you can't fight the Gnosis in their translucent state. Head for the escape pod which is in the main hangar. On your way talk to a soldier and receive the "Decoder for Segment 7". You can use this key right away and get the "Right Robot Arm". You will get a key from a dead crew member which will allow you to enter their rooms in there you can save again. Keep moving towards the main hangar. A huge event will occur and eventually you will fight a boss.
4.2: ASTEROID PLEROMA
Ziggy and MOMO on the asteroid, as covered by Ashley.
4.2.1: Rescue MOMO
First watch the movement of the enemies, they can all be easily avoided if you want to. Use the R2 button to walk softly. You can avoid the AGWS by using the crane. Find MOMO; she is in the third prison cell. You will need to find the "Master Key" which should be in the monitoring room, you will have to defeat a boss to reach it. [The following bit may not apply to the US version, or it may be flat-out wrong. We're looking into it.] Now you can free MOMO. There is also a save point available near here. If you defeat the AGWS that you avoided earlier you can get the "Decoder 4". [End possibly wrong part] Now return to the monitoring room and use the control panel. Now you can move on and you will eventually reach the next boss.
4.3: ELSA
All gameplay that takes place on the Elsa, as covered by Ashley and jetfuel. This section also includes Jr.'s excursion to the U-TIC Battleship.
4.3.1: Curry and Catapult
You need to take the curry to Andrew. First go to the bridge and talk to everyone; you will get a key. Now take the elevator to the B2F. Then go to B3F, and back up to the other side to KOS-MOS's room. Now return to the bridge for an event. You will be asked to go to the catapult hanger. This is located of B2F floor to the far left. Once there go to the end of the room and press the button. Then return to the Bridge for an event.
4.3.2: Robot Attack
With Shion and the others go to B2F. When you get to B2F your party will change to Ziggy, as Ziggy and Momo head toward the Bridge soon you will meet up together. Feel free to go back and save near where you passed Andrew. Now go to the AGWS hanger which is on B2F, the room south of here contains the next boss.
BOSS: DOMO CARRY
The robot boss that shows up in the Elsa's catapult bay is pretty mean. Its attacks are based on which icon is in the Event Slot. At the beginning of the battle, it will select a specific icon. For the rest of the battle, whenever that icon shows up during its turn, it will do a strong attack that hits all of your characters. The key to this battle is building up your characters' Boost Gauges so that you can Boost right before the Boss's turn if the chosen Event Slot icon is next. Even if you can manage to do this, it's still a tough battle.
4.3.3: U-TIC Battleship
As Jr. enter the ship. Destroy the machines power the laser rays to get past. You will need to unlock the door to area 4. And later the door to area 3. Eventually you will reach the bridge and fight the boss.
4.3.4: Find Andrew
Now you must find Andrew. He is in the room where you saved before the last boss fight on the Elsa After finding him return to the bridge and the event will start.
4.4: GNOSIS MOTHERSHIP
Gameplay in the huge Gnosis ship, as covered by Ashley and jetfuel.
4.4.1: Around the Mothership
This is not difficult it is a one way area. Keeping moving forward. You will go thru a mall, offices, and small warehouse. When you see the "sparkling closet" be sure to switch to MOMO and get her transformation. Soon you will reach a research tower and this will start a small event. Then be prepared for a boss fight.
4.5: DURANDAL
Aboard the Durandal, as covered by Ashley.
4.5.1: Around the Durandal
Find Momo, she is in the park area. Then go to bed in the Residence area. Now you will go to the Foundation, there will be an event at the beach. Feel free to look around, when you are finished go to sleep in the hotel. Note: there is a woman in the bar who broke up with her boyfriend and threw her ring in the lake. If you go to the laundromat you will find the Fish detection machine on the 2nd floor; use it at the beach until you find the ring. The woman will then give you the 8th Decoder.
4.6: KOOKAI FOUNDATION
Aboard the Kookai Foundation, as covered by Ashley.
4.6.1: Around the Kookai Foundation
Now you need to go find KOS-MOS; she is in the Elsa. Use the maintenance door to the south in the dock area to reach the Elsa. KOS-MOS is in her room, this will take you to the next event.
4.7: ENCEPHALON
Chilling inside KOS-MOS, as covered by Ashley and jetfuel.
4.7.1: Kicking it in the Encephalon
Now your party will be separated into 2 teams. Just keeping moving forward with both teams. Eventually both teams will meet in the forest. Then you can cross the bridge and enter the church. Save here and then go in the back room of the church for a boss battle.
BOSS: TIAMAT (HP 6400)
Known as the "church boss", Tiamat is built from Shion and Jr.'s bad memories. Depending on who attacks before Tiamat's turn, it will have a different attack and weakness. If Shion attacks before it, it will do a particularly nasty all- target attack. This is why it's a good idea to have Shion use her Boost One ether to power up the other characters rather than attacking. After being attacked by Shion, its weakness becomes stabbing attacks. After Jr., beam attacks. After the other character, no weakness. The trick to finishing Tiamat is to have Jr. deliver the second-to-last blow, and have Shion finish it off. If you do not follow this pattern, Tiamat will heal itself and keep kicking your butt. Also, it's a good idea to have MOMO as your third party member, as she can fish a Revenge Power out with her Rare Hunter ability.
4.8: KOOKAI FOUNDATION REVISITED
Gnosis show up and ruin everyone's day.
4.8.1: Save 13 People
Find Allen, he is at the Bar in the Foundation, this will cause an event. Now you need to rescue the 13 people. After saving them there a boss will appear as you try to leave.
1. Enter Iron Man, and save the man in the Iron 3 Display. 2. Enter Our Treasure, and save the little girl from the safe. The code is 1-0- 2-8. 3. Climb upstairs and use the button to raise the gate back in Iron Man. Make sure to pick up the bathing suit here. Go back to Iron Man, and destroy the crates behind the counter, to save the old man within. 4. Go back to Our Treasure, and climb the stairs, and then the ladder to go to the very top. If you head right from the roof, you can enter door #1 (assuming you got the key from the park). If you head left, you can slide down into the garbage area and destroy the dumpster to rescue Oscar the Grouch. Also, if you slide left even further than the garbage area, you can go to the western section and pick up Key #13 from the roof. Head over to the western block (from the ground level). 5. Defeat the Gnosis and destroy the statue to save the old man. 6. Continue west, until you can enter the laundry room. Head into the front-most room to save the woman just standing there. 7. Go back to the room you just came from (don't climb the ladder in the room with the lady you just saved) and head up the stairs, and out the door. You will see a flaming pile between 2 doors. Enter the only door you can, destroy the bookshelf, enter the next room, and exit on the other side of the flaming pile. Then enter the hallway, and continue around the bread shop. Exit on the other side of the lopsided bridge, and walk down it. Push the button to raise the bridge, and backtrack by climbing the ladder. Enter the now-accessible bread shop to rescue the man. 8. Don't slide down the bread shop chute. Exit and continue east over to upstairs of East 6 Shop. Talk to King to rescue him. 9+10. Exit East 6 Shop upstairs, and go down and re-enter on the lower level. Defeat the Gnosis, and destroy the crate in front of Pink Bug to rescue Mina and Johnny. 11. Go back to upper level East 6 Shop. Remember the button on the wall, but ignore it for a minute. Head out to your left, and go through a hallway. Continue down until you re-enter the back room of the laundry area to rescue the young woman you could not get to before. 12. Go back to upper level East 6 Shop, and push the button guarded by those annoying hurt-by-healing gnosis (make sure to kill the first forms on the BOOST round, so they actually die on the POINT UP round!) and enter the door created by the sliding bookcase. Walk through the back passage and talk to the kitty to rescue it. 13. Right past the kitty, destroy the wall to walk out onto a ledge. Head east on this ledge and destroy the wall at the end to rescue a little boy.
4.9: SONG OF NEPHILIM
Inside the big pyramid thingie, as covered by Ashley and jetfuel.
4.9.1: In There
Find MOMO, you can't miss her. Then proceed thru the towers 1, 2, 3 respectively. For the first tower, to determine which floor you go to destroy the boxes. For the 2nd fl, destroy 3 cubes, for the 3rd fl 6 cubes (it goes up by 3's; also note that most boxes contain more then one cube, there is a 2 cube box, 3 cube box, and a 4 cube box also). Once you've pressed the button outside of the 3rd floor, you can get to the 2nd tower via the 6th floor or visit the rest of the floors and get extra stuff. The only save point for the Song of Nephilim is here in the 2nd tower. There are various items to get here. One of the floors allows you to go outside and hit the button which makes it possible to go to the third tower. However you might need to make your way to the bottom and you will fight a boss first. Now move to the 3rd tower. Here find the way outside and hit the button. Now you can go to the center of the towers. I totally suggest going back to the 2nd tower first and saving, because this is one of the toughest Boss fights in the game. As if one boss fight wasn't enough, there are actually two. You can go back to the 2nd tower and save again if you want.
As for the music puzzle: Match the sounds of the song, you can hear the song in the room to the left. If you can't get it, here is the answer: red : 2 blocks left blue 3 blocks left Green : 5 blocks left
BOSS: ALBEDO
A good portion of the game is dedicated to making you hate this guy. If you don't hate him already from all of his cut scene appearances so far, fighting him in his big AGWS will do the trick. He's got Aerods, a slowing attack, a beam saber, and a multi-target beam attack. I recommend putting all three of your characters in AGWSes with Guard Recovers and the strongest pairs of W-ACT enabled weapons you can find. I tried Guard Cleaners but they didn't seem to remove the Slow effect, but it does wear off. Gear Shields (prevent slow) and anti-beam accessories are nice to have, too. In the battle, have everyone get in their AGWSes. Then have everyone guard for a turn, thus recovering FHPs and defending against whatever crazy attacks Albedo throws at you. Next turn, W-ACT. Keeping up this pattern, Albedo doesn't stand a chance. Every now and then Albedo will start yelling at one of your characters, calling her a wimp and stuff. This means that next turn he's going to nail her with Aerods, so look out. Also, partway into the battle he'll start doing his very high damage, multi target beam attack. If you can live through that, you'll be all right.
4.10: PROTO MERKABAH
The way the big wheel spins, according to Ashley.
4.10.1: You're Getting There
Just keep moving forward; this is a pretty simple map. There are only 2 saves available. You will reach floors 43 thru 45 and you will go up one side and down the other. You can save on the 44th floor. Also the button to lower the gate is on the other side of the 44th floor I believe. Before going up to the 45th floor and thru the lowered gate, save your game. After going thru the gate you will come out to a very open area. You can jump down on to a satellite dish. Here you will fight another very tough boss. Now keep proceeding forward. Eventually you will reach another save point. Save here and go down the big elevator. Soon you will have another boss fight, and then another boss fight with no break in between so be ready.
BOOK 5: MINIGAMES
Those devious little time-consuming games-within-a-game.
5.1: XENOCARD
As very briefly covered by jetfuel, and very extensively covered by Ashley.
In order to play Xenocard, you'll need some cards and the カードパスポート / Card Passport. The Passport can be procured by talking to the BartendRobo working in the Restaurant on the Elsa. Activate the Xenocard minigame by using the Passport (in your key items list) while standing at a blue-plate-enabled save point.
It should be noted that by changing the Mat setting on the main Xenocard menu will cause some of the game elements to be in English. This might help you out a little.
There are 3 card types.
バトルカード / Battle Cards イベントカード / Event Cards シチィエーションカード / Situation Cards
Battle Cards come in these different kinds.

Please note that you can quit the game in the middle if you press start and then select the last option. Also pressing select in the middle of the game brings up help.
Please take a minute and flop thru the tutorial quickly here are some things that are good to understand.
There are 3 types of cards: Battle cards are red. Event cards are yellow. Situation cards are blue.
The table has 4 major sections. The Battle field is where the action takes place. The Standby area is where you place your cards before they can go to the battle area; this is to your left. The Situation area, where Situation cards are played, is to your right. The final area is the bottom area which shows the cards in your hand, how many cards are in your deck, and finally your discarded cards.
You win the game by making your opponent run out of cards; likewise if you run out of cards you will lose. Try not to use too many cards; at the same time don't lose them in battles.
Circle selects, X cancels, while in a phase when you are finished with the phase hit Square and then circle to confirm. For example if you are finished moving all your cards simply hit the Square button and then Circle. Triangle will give you the basic info of the selected card.
You begin the game going through a routine of phases; you go through this routine every turn.
You will start with Draw. Draw will give you cards, as far as I can tell you receive cards every turn to replace the cards you either moved out of your hand or that you used. So it is possible to end up with a bunch of cards!
Next is Move. You can move cards from the Standby area to the Battle field, and you can rotate your cards around the Battle field too.
Event, this allows you to use Event cards. Event cards have different affects for every card. The curry card heals other cards HP, other cards damage the opponent's cards on the battle field and yet other cards have different effects.
Set, this is where you take cards from your hand and put them to the Standby Area. This is when you can enhance your cards on the battle field by using your Weapon Cards. Also you can only deploy situation cards into the situation area.
Block, you do this on you opponents turn. What you can do during the block phase is deploy your own event card, that's all. Please note: you can block your opponents use of an event card as long as you have the 2 event cards that let you counter.
Battle, now the cards hack it out. If the opponent has cards, your cards will attack them. If not your cards will attack the opponents deck if they are in range.
Adjust, this is when you have to many cards in your hand you will have to discard.
Now some other details.
Each card has a "cost", which is the number of cards that has to be "spent" from the deck. For an example, let's take a look at the KOS-MOS card level 1. This card has a card type of "mech", an HP of 6, attack of 3, attack type of "shooting", field requirement of 1 human + 1 any, and a cost of 5.
She's a very useful unit but with a requirement of 5 cards, rather costly. However, her special ability is "If Shion is present in your own battlefield, she can be moved into battle for free" and "She cannot equip any weapons."
Now for the explanation: Card type signifies what kind of card the card is considered to be on the battlefield (important because this determines what kind of cards can be played). There are four different card types and they are: Human (hito), Realien (gou), Mech (ki), and Gnosis (fu).
HP is just that. Every time a character is attacked by an enemy unit, they lose HP. When HP hits 0, they "die" and are sent to the discard (Haiki-the discard pile on the far right) pile.
Attack is just that as well. That's the amount of damage the card does to opposing enemy units or the enemy deck.
Attacktype is one of 5 different kinds. They are hand-to-hand, shooting, hit-all, penetrate, and artillery. Hand-to-hand cards can only attack cards that are in contact with it, so they can only attack enemy cards that are in the front row like themselves. Shooting lets the card attack from any row against any enemy cards in front of it, including the base deck. Hit-all attacks hits all enemy cards on the battle field, but doesn't do damage to the base deck. Hit-All attacks also go last. Penetrate attacks work just like Shooting, except when the attack points weren't fully spent on a single enemy card, it passes on to the next. (for example an AG-05 with 7 AP hits a card with 3HP, the attack will kill that card and the left over 4AP will hit the next card behind it). Artillery is a bit different, its attacks only damages the base deck, bypassing any enemy card that might have normally been blocking the way.
Field requirement is the kind of cards that must be present on the battlefield before this card can be moved to the standby area. In the case of KOS-MOS, there must be at least one human card and another unit out there on the standby/battlefield area. If the requirement is not met, the card cannot be played and obviously, the stronger the unit higher the requirement.
Cost is the number of cards that are "spent" when the card is played. For an example, the KOS-MOS card has a cost of 5, which means that you have to move 5 cards from the base deck to the discard (sute fuda) pile (the discard pile on the left, the pile that can be re-used). With only 40 cards total, that's pretty expensive.
Most cards have a cost of at least one (except Realiens and really weak human cards).
If you can't use a particular card, it's either because of the cost (too expensive - not enough cards left in the deck) or the field requirement is not met (this probably occurs more often). For an example, make sure you don't have any event cards or character cards that require a "Gnosis" if you don't have any Gnosis cards in the deck (I learned that the hard way).
You can only deploy (set) one battle card per turn, weapons and Gnosis included. The one exception to this is Realiens, you can deploy as many as you can/allowed (some of them will only allow one to be out at a given time, like the Govt. use realiens).
