00:00Hmm.
00:07Dreamfall.
00:08Dreamfall plates.
00:38Hm.
00:41Hm.
00:59There's someone in the distance.
01:05Hmm.
01:08Here, a genius move.
01:12And how will you counter it?
01:14Only an idiot would ask such a question.
01:17Just move this here.
01:29You look distressed.
01:33Something the matter?
01:36Hmm.
01:38If that's the case, you better get thinking.
01:43Are you waiting for a sign?
01:45Time is ticking.
01:47Descend via the elevator.
01:49What you seek is there.
01:52Have you considered whether the answer to your question will be of any relevance to our current predicament?
01:59If a question is of no help, then don't ask it.
02:04Time is clearly precious to the both of us.
02:07Never mind.
02:09Allow me to clarify something.
02:11I know exactly who you are.
02:15And I'm aware you are in Ron May's employ.
02:18This was not my intended destination.
02:21I just happened to find my way here during my visit and saw what she was up to.
02:25My goals are roughly aligned with yours.
02:30Since you're here, I won't intercede.
02:33But should you fail, I will be forced to prevent some avoidable misfortunes.
02:39That's all you need to know.
02:42Just two paragraphs.
02:45Very effective communication.
02:50I can't stand discourtesy.
02:53Even when it comes from myself.
02:55The real Ron May's creation is hidden in the giant incubator below us.
03:00Go.
03:01Take the elevator and bear witness to this genius masterpiece.
03:10I'll be able to get back to one more place.
03:15I don't know I can't see one moreaga.
03:25There's a temper analysis.
03:27But she's fully prepared to detect a drone with Captain redundancy.
03:30Yeah, I'm gonna try.
03:37That save the mission.
04:08This is huge.
04:10The space station has an area of the speck.
05:06The space station has an area of the speck.
05:30The space station has an area of the speck.
05:38The space station has an area of the speck.
06:08We're at home!
06:14Get them!
06:19Don't come any closer!
06:21Move aside, amateurs!
06:24Fiends or devils, I'll crush them all!
06:31Lads at the ready.
06:33I weep for the departed.
06:41Dust spring, the two-shot fall.
06:47You know nothing of the weight behind this power.
06:50Witness the stars shatter before you.
06:54Survive or be destroyed.
06:56There is no other choice.
07:04Frature!
07:16Lance of Blaze!
07:19Flaming Lance!
07:22Forward!
07:38Leave the rest to me.
07:40I won't go easy on you.
07:47Resistance is bleeding as the Dons did. Destined for oblivion.
07:54I'm gonna hold everyone back again.
08:00Somebody help you!
08:03You'll destroy the space station!
08:20I'm on guard.
08:31I'll weep for the departed.
08:33I'll do it.
08:35It's over.
08:39Oh, you gotta hide.
08:40Dust's ring, the two-shot fall.
08:42Come on.
09:14Come on.
09:42I will still walk away.
09:44I won't go easy on you.
09:47Glance at the ready.
09:50I weep for the departed.
09:58Dusk's rails.
09:59The two shall fall.
10:14Indestructible.
10:20Another journey begins.
10:39I'm going to hold everyone back again.
10:47Don't worry.
10:48It's just a scream.
10:50I'm on guard.
10:52Defend the weak.
10:54Did you come here of your own volished existence?
10:57Bleeding as the Dawns did.
10:59Destined for oblivion.
11:03I weep for the departed.
11:11It doesn't rain.
11:13The two shall fall.
11:17You know nothing of the weight behind this path.
11:20Witness the stars shatter before you.
11:24Survive or be destroyed.
11:25There is no other choice.
11:27Blance at the least.
11:29Blading ledge.
11:33Forward!
11:33No word!
12:24After 56 seconds, the creature was unable to sustain its own existence and vanished as if it had never been
12:32born.
12:33Hm. The threat is over. Time to get going.
12:43Is it over? I... I need to get some answers out of Rombe.
13:16Nice.
13:48The threat is over.
14:23The meeting of geniuses is over.
14:25As for the future of the simulated universe, that conclusion isn't important. What's important is your task.
14:35You look... upset, correct?
14:41I regret my actions. There's no defending what I've done. Time and again, my experiments have fallen short, and they've
14:50always yielded predictable results.
14:53I made a clone, but it... doesn't hold a candle to the emanator.
15:02Exactly as predicted. 56 seconds on the dot.
15:09Restrained by time and place, its code of life could only be considered an incomplete attempt.
15:16I managed to replicate the moment it was born. However, it would soon disappear and be reduced to particles.
15:23Like every living being, it inevitably faced its demise as it journeyed towards the end.
15:28I find no fault in that. However, even the briefest life should have meaning. I want to know the limits
15:36of its capacity. It will indicate how far I've gone in a field completely incomprehensible to me.
15:46And it was a minuscule step. Just as I had predicted.
15:57I did say that if a danger proved too great for you, I would personally step in to confront it.
16:03I must admit, I'm not fond of scenarios where everything aligns perfectly with my expectations. An experiment should have its
16:11unforeseen twists.
16:13That's where the joy lies. Even the most predictable storylines can have their pleasant surprises.
16:21I have to admit that these little ones born in the process sometimes move me. I see a human-like
16:30response in them. It is a concept completely opposite to that of divinity.
16:35They have emotions. Emotions may be either positive or negative. However, the love rooted in the depths of their heart
16:45is eternal and unchanging.
16:46They are still a long way from becoming geniuses. And are therefore unable to discern whether this love is one
16:53of friendship, romance, or familial love.
16:58That being said, can even geniuses tell the difference? I cannot at least. I do not understand what love is
17:10and cannot respond to their feelings.
17:13Do you believe my actions were wrong? There is no need to tell me your answer. I just felt like
17:20asking the question. How should I take care of them?
17:25Perhaps leaving them at the space station is the best choice. Do I seem irresponsible? I'm sorry. I am often
17:34at a loss as to how to face my own creations.
17:36The effects of the anti-truth serum will also wear off. If others mention me to you in the future,
17:43you can answer however you like. Or even pretend you never knew me.
17:48After all, your memory of me will soon dissipate like smoke. Over time, hidden truths tend to surface. Past traumas,
18:01which I'd rather leave behind, have made me skeptical about trusting anyone but myself.
18:08If I do not want a secret revealed, the most foolproof way is to destroy it. The anti-truth serum
18:14will make you forget the brief period we spent together.
18:18It won't take effect immediately. It is a slow, intangible process. Like the sweet fragrance of lotus leaves, plum blossom,
18:28sticky rice, and frosting sugar.
18:31Perhaps you'll remember someone performed selfish experiments on the space station, but you will no longer remember their identity.
18:40Perhaps we'll meet again someday, but you won't be able to connect me with the recollection.
18:45That way, the connection between life forms will be erased. Friendships, secrets, grudges, lies… all will disappear. It will make
18:58our lives… more… relaxing.
19:05Thank you. Screwlum will stay on the space station for a while longer. He and Herta still have problems they
19:14need to solve. As for me, I'm leaving soon, and won't bother with goodbyes. Do you still remember the no
19:21man's land I mentioned? I'm considering a solo trip back there during my research downtime. Just to see how things
19:29are.
19:29I miss member number 55. I miss member number 55, Ryuching, too, sometimes. She used to always make something delicious
19:35for me to drink every time we parted ways.
19:37I hope I won't meet member number 4, Polka Kakamond. That would be quite troublesome. Who knows when the next
19:45gathering of geniuses will be. Do you have anything else you want to say to me?
19:58I promise I will, Mr. Assistant. If fate allows and you're interested, upon our next meeting, we could journey to
20:06no man's land and traverse its tranquil glaciers.
20:09Though I suppose it wouldn't be no man's land anymore. What a conundrum.
20:35Hmm.
20:38Hmm.
20:40Hmm.
20:41Huh?
20:41Hmm?
20:44Oh, my God.
