Transcript
00:08Ladies and gentlemen, it's recycling time!
00:14Today's fresh meat, Mania!
00:21Goes up against our very own janitor, the Scavenger!
00:27Odds are 1 to 20!
00:31Get your bets in now!
00:36Move, just like before.
00:46Look at that rook. Still thinks he's human.
00:50Trying to run cold steel on flesh and blood muscle memory.
00:53What an idiot.
00:55Hey, scrap metal!
00:58Your dignity is cheaper than a two balloon down here!
01:02Either kill it, or turn it to its shit!
01:08Take your pick!
01:27The pain you are feeling is just data.
01:31Rake.
01:32The pain you are feeling is just data.
01:38Parse it! Use it. Back door protocol initiated.
01:42You are now clear to read the opponent's energy frequency.
01:52Where am I?
01:56The last thing I remember, Silas' smile, and the lights at the top of the bone cage.
02:13Vitals restored. Neural splicing initiated. Activating mania protocol.
02:20What is this? No!
02:23Stop thrashing.
02:26The spinal splicing hasn't set. Stay still unless you want to be permanently paralyzed.
02:35Irene? It's you? What?
02:39Biological tissue survival rate, 37%. Cybernetic compatibilities, 89%. Higher than projected. Mr. Silas will be pleased.
02:49Bravo. Reorn from a pile of rotting flesh and scrap metal. Rake, or should I say, mania.
02:56Welcome to your new life as the latest property of Titan Heavy Industries.
03:00Silas! I'll kill you!
03:02Kill me? With the hands I gave you? Dr. Irene, finish the calibration post-haste.
03:08The audience at the bone cage is dying to see our new toy.
03:12Kill me, Irene. For old time's sake.
03:16Death is a luxury, Rake. And I can't afford the price tag.
03:19Live. Become a monster. Because only a monster can tear other monsters apart.
03:26Anesthesia wearing off. Initiating pain tolerance test. Level 7.
03:48That is the weak point.
04:06It's damaged
04:08Energy is leaking
04:12Lock onto that frequency
04:14Absorb it
04:29Interesting
04:30Not just luck, huh?
04:39What you are feeling is just data
04:42Data?
04:43It's all data
04:52Data
04:53Data
04:54Data
04:54Data
04:55Data
05:01Let's go.
05:26Let's go.
05:56None of your business.
05:58Listen.
05:59In here, everything that moves is locked down by a chip.
06:03Man, what a convenient little loophole, huh?
06:07Does he know about Irene's back door?
06:10Don't overthink it.
06:11I don't know how you did it, and I don't care.
06:12All I know is, anyone who uses that trick either becomes an ace real fast,
06:16or gets dragged off to recycling even faster.
06:18And looking at you right now?
06:21I'd bet five cans of premium lube you won't survive the next melee.
06:25What's your point?
06:26A trade.
06:26I teach you how to actually use that tin suit of yours instead of letting it drag you around.
06:30In return, in the next melee, I want you to draw the aggro.
06:33Help me take out Butcher Berg.
06:35His cybro kidney?
06:36Exactly my model.
06:38How do we do this?
06:39First off, forget about muscle memory.
06:41Your tendons are hydraulics now.
06:42Your bones are titanium.
06:45What you need to feel is pressure feedback, torque data, and energy flow.
06:49Pain is the teacher.
06:50Data is the bible.
06:51Now, get up and try to punch me.
06:53Do it the way your system calculates is most efficient,
06:54not the way you think feels natural.
06:57Too slow.
06:58Your logic is garbage.
07:00You're using your brain to command the arm.
07:03Again, feel the energy flow.
07:05Anticipate.
07:06Don't react.
07:20Surveillance system overrunned.
07:29Stress fractures at the spinal splints.
07:3337% wear on the left activator.
07:36Taking it all head on again.
07:37You never learn how to dodge, do you?
07:39Pain signal suppression threshold has been lowered.
07:42Energy is prioritized for damage repair units.
07:49I'm sorry, Rake.
07:50I have to make you hate me.
07:52It's the only way Silas will believe you're a pure weapon.
07:55The only way he'll give you the time and the space to grow.
08:00You have to get faster, stronger, before they catch on.
08:08Basic maintenance for unit Mania complete.
08:12Survival probability for next engagement project to increase by 5%.
08:15Expect significant gains in asset utilization and data yield.
08:19Welcome to the meat grinder.
08:22The rules are simple.
08:23Last man standing.
08:25Today's special prospect.
08:27Can the rookie Mania survive the first three minutes?
08:32Raise your hand!
08:46Anticipate.
08:47Don't react.
08:56That's it!
08:59Don't stop!
09:00Keep the rhythm!
09:01Keep moving!
09:25Now, kite him under that suspended crane on the east side.
09:29The floor's cracked over there.
09:41The floor's cracked over there.
09:43Thanks, rookie!
09:47Kane!
10:01Deal's done. The rest is on you.
10:27You're the last one left, Scrap. Without Cain, you're nothing.
10:33The data says the hydraulic regulator in your right knee hasn't been serviced in 97 days.
10:39Wear and tage is at 37 percent. Way over spec.
10:42What?
10:44Anticipate. Trajectory correction 0.3 degrees. Evasion energy cost optimum.
10:53I'll tear you apart!
10:56Cain taught me something. Feel the energy flow like an irregular heart.
11:01Now, I'm taking the win!
11:12Let's go!
11:14Cain is just data. Static. Purged.
11:22The winner is Mania! Clear the floor!
11:48Deal's done. The rest is on you.
11:51You had a deal with the wardens. You used me as bait to buy your early exit.
11:56What else? You think I'm running a charity down here? Everything has a price tag in this place.
12:00I teach you how to survive. You help me grab spare parts.
12:03Fair trade.
12:04Berg kept this in good shape.
12:07Pristine tech like this will fetch a hell of a bounty.
12:16He's right. He's right. Nothing comes for free in this hell hole. Damn it.
12:22Don't give me that sour look. The shit I taught you.
12:27Anticipating.
12:28Feeling the energy flow. Letting system think for you.
12:32It was all real. You've at least got the juice to sit here and interrogate me.
12:37Instead of turning into scrap metal like Berg or getting sucked dry like Iron Jar.
12:42Mania! Report to Prep Room 1 immediately. You have a guest.
12:47Watch your six, rookie. Take that cold, dead look you had when you gutted Iron Whore and weld it to
12:53your face.
12:54When a guest comes all the way down to this sass pool looking for you, it only means two things.
12:59Either they're tossing you into an absolute meat granner,
13:02or someone is paying top dollar to watch you suffer a slow, agonizing death for their entertainment.
13:14Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Crossroads of Evolution.
13:22Tonight, a miracle of savage growth goes up against the future of precise calculation.
13:29Rising from the scrap heap, Mania challenges our ultimate martial masterpiece,
13:35the Hunter Alpha.
13:37Odds are 1 to 20.
13:40Will instinct tear through logic, or will technology crush the wild?
13:58Yeah!
14:18Shield. Overload window.
14:21Rake, or should I say, Mania, your little tricks are quite amusing.
14:26Your opponent is the Hunter Alpha.
14:29Its weak point is in Dorsal Sector 3.
14:38Rake, or may be.
14:440.5 seconds, now!
14:485!
15:00Doors for Sector 3!
15:02Three. Only shot!
15:21Marvelous. Dr. Irene, it appears our creation has exceeded the parameters of its stress test.
15:27Now then, prepare phase two.
15:33The data shows that the energy spike mania unleashed in the final 0.3 seconds of fascinating.
15:39That falls well outside the standard prediction parameters of your pain conversion model.
15:44There is indeed a margin of error.
15:51I have flagged the data anomaly for subsequent analysis.
15:54A margin of error?
15:56The fact remains, mania's two victories have validated that choice.
16:02Validated. Entirely correct.
16:06Fossils on the board were entertained by tonight's spectacle.
16:09You mean?
16:10They want to know how much of the will hidden inside is actually left, and whether it truly obeys.
16:14The next bout, schedule the executioner.
16:17The executioner?
16:17That psycho who gets off on torturing and butchering gladiators?
16:22A walking armory of heavy execution tech?
16:25My dear doctor, if he cannot withstand this level of pressure, then his so-called evolutionary potential is just another
16:32failed prototype waiting to be recalled.
16:35Remember, Irene, you are my sharpest blade.
16:38Understood, Mr. Silas.
17:00You have to live, no matter what.
17:12Adaptive stress test.
17:14Phase 2.
17:15Serial number SC95.
17:17Subject, mania.
17:18Parameters.
17:20Survival duration.
17:21Extreme pressure response.
17:22Systematic interference tolerance.
17:24Test initiated.
17:49Kain, execute coordinated interference directive R-7.
17:54Begin.
17:57The follow-up supply protocol for your spinal inhibitors, and the safety of that little collection of yours in the
18:04outer ring, depends entirely on your cooperation.
18:12You have three seconds.
18:15You have three seconds.
18:27Interference, Kain, you.
18:29It's part of the coordination test.
18:31Look out, the root command is coming.
18:33I can't block it entirely, but I'm trying to wedge open a conflict window.
18:36Time to activate the level one compliant protocol module.
18:40Let's see if this beast still remembers who holds the leash.
18:45Obey.
18:46Kneel.
18:47Await recycling.
18:48No!
18:50Stop!
18:51Get out of my head!
18:59Override it.
19:00Use the pain conversion protocol I gave you.
19:02Treat the obedience signal as pain.
19:05Absorb it.
19:06Convert it.
19:07Now!
19:08Power!
19:09Power!
19:11Power!
19:29My turn.
19:51Opposing Unit Executioner Functions Terminated
19:54Test Subject Mania, Survival Confirmed
19:57Test Designation S02, Logging Complete
20:02Beautiful, Far Exceeding Expectations
20:04Send Him to the Maximum Spec Maintenance Bay
20:08And Have Our Little Interference Collaborator Wait Outside For Him
20:15They Found My Sister
20:17Used Her As Leverage
20:19Push The Button Or Lose Everything
20:24I Pushed It
20:26I Know
20:28You Know
20:29I Know You're Not Silas
20:30You're Just Another Monster On A Leash
20:33But He Used That Leash To Yank You Into Biting Me
20:37And That Pissed Me Off
20:41This Is Payback For Pushing The Button
20:47You Taught Me Everything Here Has A Price Tag
20:49I Scrap Your Arms
20:51We're Square
20:53Fair
20:58Piss Off And Go Fix Your Arms
21:00Use Those Spare Parts You've Been Hoarding
21:03I Didn't Leave You Breathing So You Can Stand Around Feeling Sorry For Yourself
21:06I Left You Alive So You Can Use Those Eyes
21:09And Watch
21:10Watch Me Tear Them Apart
21:12Right Along With The Leash They've Got Wrapped Around Your Neck
21:38Look Here
21:40Under The Peak Impact Of The Level 1 Compliance Protocol
21:44The Subjects Physiological Tolerance Threshold Was Forcibly Elevated By 300%
21:49The Data Is Indeed Staggering Silas
21:51But Unpredictability Equals Risk
21:54The Board Requires Accessible Controllable Risks
21:56Not A Ticking Time Bomb
21:58Risk?
21:58No
21:59No
21:59This Is Value
22:00All We Have To Do Is Package This Unpredictable Evolution In The Most Addicting Commodity On
22:05The Market
22:05Effective Immediately
22:06All Real-Time Biometrics
22:08Combat Telemetry
22:10And System Logs For MENA Are Hardwired Into The Security Committee's Tier 1 Oversight Protocol
22:16Do Not Do Anything That Might Cause Me Or The Board To Harbor Even A Shadow Of A Doubt Regarding
22:22Your Neutrality And Loyalty
22:23Are We Clear Dr. Irene?
22:26Crystal Clear Mr. Silas
22:29Silas Is Treating You Like A Cash Cow Now
22:32An Exhibition Match
22:33Basically They Want You To Perform Your Evolution For The Cameras
22:37He Knows I'll Fight Back
22:39Even If You Don't
22:40He'll Make Sure You Do
22:41Next Opponent Is
22:43The Adapter
22:44It's A Synthetic Beast
22:46With An AI Core
22:47Where It Learns Your Attack Patterns On The Fly And Shifts Tactics
22:50The Company Wants To Use It To Force Out Your Absolute Ceiling For Learning And Adapting
22:55Irene's Been Put Under A Microscope
22:57But She Managed To Slip A Message Through
22:59The Seam In Sector 3 Of The Arena Floor Sits Right Over An Old Primary Power Conduit
23:03Apply Enough Localized Pressure
23:05And It Caves
23:10Understood
23:26Ladies And Gentlemen
23:29Welcome To The Newest Spectacle Of New Eadol
23:32The Opening Night Of Nirvana
23:34Tonight Is A Clash Of Intellect
23:37In This Corner
23:39The Savage Miracle Who Crawled From The Scrapyard Of Hell
23:43Forging Himself A New With Steel And Sheer Will
23:45Mania
23:46And His Opponent
23:47The Absolute Pinnacle Of Titan Heavy Industries Achievements
23:51In Artificial Intelligence And Battlefield Adaptability
23:54The Adapter
23:58This Is The Ultimate Trial
24:00Primal Instinct Versus Digital Intellectual
24:02Tonight Let Us Witness Together
24:05Will The Beast Tear Through Logic Or Will The Algorithm Tame The Wild
24:09Let The Match Begin
24:25Learns Fast
24:27Is He Fighting Himself?
24:31Give Us Some Real Action
24:34Now's The Time Rookie Give It Something New To Chew On
24:37Hit It With The Counter Joint Lock From The 7 Footwork Drill I Taught You
24:40But Intentionally Delay Your Strike By 0.1 Seconds
24:50Attack Pattern Unrogged
24:52Discontinue With Previous Data Sets
24:54Suspected Tactical Deception
24:56Learn This
25:10Target B Has Entered Autonomous Tactical Optimization
25:13Learning Rate Exceeding Projections
25:16The Opening Is In The Microsecond It Thinks
25:26The Arena Floor The Seam Between Sector 3 And Sector 7 An Old Primary Power Convent
25:32Violent Vertical Impact Causing To Cave In
26:03We're Going Down Together
26:08Behavior Understanding In Progress
26:10We're Going Down And We're Going Down
26:46I'm gonna kill you!
26:49I'm gonna kill you!
26:52I'm gonna kill you!
26:57This is the truth of us.
27:09This isn't standard protocol
27:11Hi-Res scan
27:13Comply
27:25The fight three hours ago
27:28Was a master class
27:33Tell me
27:34How does a gladiator
27:37Know exactly where to strike
27:39At second 127
27:42Pressure variance
27:44He didn't know
27:45He felt it
27:47Through movement
27:49Through impact
27:51Through damage
27:55A fascinating theory
27:59Perhaps someone guided it
28:01Initiate level max neural scan
28:04Mr. Simus
28:06This will destroy him
28:08You'll lose everything
28:09The project
28:10If it breaks
28:11It wasn't worth keeping
28:14It wasn't worth keeping
28:41Where am I
28:43Am I dead
28:45No
28:47This is the far shore
28:51An encrypted buffer zone I built
28:54We're safe for now
28:57But time is short
28:58The buffer is unstable
28:59Silas could find us
29:00At any moment
29:00Irene what the hell
29:01Are you playing at
29:02Is this a game
29:02Or just another one
29:03Of Silas's tests
29:04I'm trying to save you
29:06Rake
29:07Then I went to Silas
29:08I offered him
29:09I offered him the king protocol
29:10A plan to create weapons
29:12By merging the brains
29:13Of dying champions
29:14With machinery
29:16I staked my entire research clearance
29:18And my freedom
29:20As collateral
29:21Just to get him
29:22Allow me to preserve
29:23And use your brain
29:24The modifications
29:26The pain
29:27It was real
29:28I had no choice
29:29I had to turn you
29:31Into a monster
29:31So you could logically survive
29:33So you'd have a chance
29:34To get close to him
29:35To take revenge
29:37Those crude mechanical arms
29:39They were the most inconspicuous
29:41Scrap parts I could find
29:42And the back door
29:43The pain conversion
29:44Was that part of the plan too
29:46It's a weapon
29:47But it's also your lifeline
29:50I modified the core protocol
29:52So you could
29:53Absorb agony
29:54And your opponent's energy
29:55Turning them into
29:56Your own power and clearance
29:59But I have to be careful
30:00He can't suspect a thing
30:02Until tonight
30:04He ran out of patience
30:05How long
30:07Can we stay here
30:10About three minutes
30:11In real time
30:11But conchonition
30:12Is accelerated here
30:13We have roughly
30:14Three hours
30:16We have to act
30:17Before he makes his move
30:18Act how?
30:19I'm still locked in a cage
30:20Covered in chips and chains
30:22The key to those chains
30:24Is hidden in the protocol
30:25I modified
30:27Use your consciousness
30:28To override their root protocols
30:30But you only get one shot
30:32Once you trigger it
30:34Silas will know instantly
30:36We must have the next step
30:37Ready before then
30:39These are internal vulnerabilities
30:41Cain helped me verify
30:42And you
30:44You need to win over your own people
30:46Cain was the first
30:47But he won't be the last
30:49Many of these gladiators
30:50Are like you
30:51The company's discards
30:56What do I need to do?
30:58Keep performing
30:59Make Silas so obsessed
31:01With his perfect creation
31:04That he can't bring himself
31:05To destroy you
31:06Meanwhile
31:07I'll find the physical location
31:09And final defense codes
31:10For the hub
31:11You'll be exposed
31:15I never expected
31:17To leave this place alive
31:19But you have to Rake
31:21You must walk out of here
31:23And then you burn
31:24Every inch of this place
31:25To the ground
31:27Time's up
31:28Listen Rake
31:29Once you leave here
31:30Find your allies
31:31And if the day ever comes
31:33Don't forgive me
31:37Irene
31:37I command you to live
31:48I've read the scan reports
31:49They're clean
31:50So clean
31:51In fact
31:52They're almost
31:52Boring
31:53So Dr. Irene
31:55Are you telling me
31:56Those inexplicable leaps
31:57In adaptability
31:58Were merely side effects
31:59And interface glitchers
32:01Of the biological nerves
32:02Scientifically
32:03Yes
32:03However
32:04From a risk management perspective
32:06I recommend increasing
32:08The observation frequency
32:09Of Mania
32:09And embedding
32:10An independent
32:11Tracking subprogram
32:12It will report
32:13Only basic vitals
32:14And location
32:14For recovery purposes
32:17A tracking subprogram
32:19Interesting
32:21This back door of yours
32:22Could you bypass it?
32:24I cannot
32:25This subprogram
32:26Will exist independently
32:27Of the King protocol
32:28The keys will be generated
32:29By the security committee
32:30And written into
32:31Read only hardware
32:32I am merely providing
32:33The integration scheme
32:34This is to eliminate
32:35Any lingering doubts
32:36You or the board
32:37May have Mr. Syvas
32:38The hardware read only lock
32:40Is a viable solution
32:41But it must be implanted
32:43During Mania's
32:44Next deep maintenance cycle
32:46We need at least
32:4748 hours for preparation
32:52Excellent
32:53We'll proceed with your plan
32:54Prepare the hardware lock
32:55For the next maintenance
32:57In the meantime
32:58The exhibition matches continue
33:00Who is his next opponent?
33:02The Punisher
33:03The objective is to test
33:06Mania's sustained
33:06Armor-piercing abilities
33:08And his energy consumption curve
33:09It's scheduled for next week
33:12Fine
33:13Dismissed
33:14The old energy processing sector
33:16Usually just two lazy guards
33:18The pipes in the back
33:20Lead to the perimeter wall
33:21Past that is scrapyard
33:23The wall's rigged
33:24With new high voltage sensors
33:27Irene said we need
33:28The final defense codes
33:29For the Nexus
33:29That thing is at the very bottom
33:31Of the central control tower
33:33Physically air-gatted
33:34From the network
33:34Unless someone blows the tower
33:36Or opens it from the inside
33:38She said she'd find a way
33:40But she needs time
33:41And a distraction
33:43So big the guards
33:44Can't ignore it
33:45A distraction?
33:47You want to pull something
33:48During the next match?
33:49Too obvious
33:50Silas is watching
33:51I'm not pulling anything
33:53I'm going to win
33:54But I'm going to win in a way
33:56That makes him bleed
33:59Meaning?
34:00The Punisher isn't cheap
34:01I'll stay within the rules
34:03But I'm going to dismantle it
34:04Piece by piece
34:04In the most wasteful way possible
34:06I'll turn every sensor
34:07And every plate of armor
34:08Into unrecyclable trash
34:09Tell me
34:10Won't the responsible board members
34:11Breathe down Silas' neck?
34:13Won't they divert more resources
34:14To watch me?
34:15Won't the tower guards
34:15Be pulled to bolster
34:16The arena's security?
34:18You'll need enough juice
34:20You have to manage your consumption
34:21Or you'll drop
34:22Before you finish the job
34:23The energy
34:24I'll find a way
34:35Routine inspection
34:36For the upcoming system upgrade
34:37Kane
34:38Out
34:42Tracking chip
34:43Read only hardware
34:44Implanting next week
34:46During maintenance
34:47Unbipassable
34:48But the transmitter's power module
34:50Can be remotely overloaded and fried
34:51It's a last resort
34:52Understood
34:53Send me the data on the next opponent
34:55I'll transmit it to your terminal shortly
35:08Ladies and gentlemen
35:10Welcome back to Nirvana
35:12Tonight
35:13Mania
35:14Steps into the concrete jungle
35:16To face a lurking predator
35:18The Punisher
35:19Let's see if the hunter shreds the prey
35:22Or if the prey bites back
35:24Log his terrain utilization efficiency
35:26And his instantaneous reaction lines
35:29When ambushed
35:30Let's see how he performs
35:32In an asymmetrical environment
35:39Every time he moves
35:41His seventh step
35:41Deliberately avoids that loose floor plate
35:43In the southeast corner of sector 5
35:45There's a decaying power line under there
35:47Step on it
35:47And it triggers a local out blackout
35:49He knows the terrain's weak points
35:50He's no meathead
35:51Let's see how he deals with that spider's legs
36:03He's sending a signal
36:05It means back to the wall
36:08Rebellious
36:09Looking for our own
36:19Die
36:28Watch
36:39Are we done
36:40With this
36:42Pathetic little game
36:52Silas
36:54Have you seen enough
36:56From up there on your throne
37:00Watching us burn the last shreds
37:02Of our humanity
37:03As fuel for your machine
37:05I am rake
37:06And we the trash
37:08You slice in half
37:10And stick back together
37:11With cold steel
37:12We are not standing here today
37:14To perform for you
37:15Silas
37:16The throne you stole
37:17From our flesh and blood
37:18It is time
37:20To give it back
37:26You slice a scroll
37:27The throne you stole
37:31Do what
37:32You slice the
37:33You Clarofte
37:34throne you stole It
37:49Mit
37:49Is
37:50The
37:50throne you stole of
37:51the throne you stole
37:51Now, the tower. Jam all channels. Go!
38:25Chains are broken! With me, here!
38:39Irene, open it.
38:41B2, C7 corridors. Security locks disengaged.
38:46Hold on.
39:09Go blow that door.
39:15Charge! Come on, guys! This way! Let's go!
39:25We can't stop! Break through! Spread into the streets! We're sitting ducks here!
39:29Damn it! Their firepower's too heavy! We need to throw them off!
39:33Go! Go! Go!
39:52Fire! Open fire on all attackers, including those vermin.
40:00Fire! Open fire on all attackers, including those vermin!
40:06Looks like we're gonna have to do this the hard way. No problem. I was hoping to say that.
40:16Come on, guys! Let's work!
40:20Rake. Hound Squad.
40:22Simus is private force.
40:24Over 60% adaptation weakness. Relies on centralized tactical link. Frequency. Sent. Jam it!
40:35Target rage burner confirmed. Priority captured.
40:39In case of extreme resistance, disassembly authorized. Move.
40:44Rookie! The main force is in the safe zone. Fall back! Now!
40:45Tim's golpe...
40:48Run!
40:48Run!
40:51Run!
41:05Run!
41:09Rookie! The main force is in the safe zone! Fall back! Now!
41:13Just a little longer.
41:49TARGET SEVERELY DAMAGED! PRIORITY! SECURE THE NEXUS! WITHDRAW!
41:58RAKE! ANSWER ME! RAKE!
42:02TARGET SEVERELY DAMAGED!
42:23Scouted it. A fronted assault equals suicide. The walls are active. The power source is deep underground. No chance to
42:28brute force it.
42:29The only potential gap is every 120 seconds when the Northeast 3 auxiliary power gate pulses for 0.8 seconds,
42:36but it's heavily guarded.
42:37Scraping fragments of their internal comms. Fewer guards than expected.
42:42Silas pulled most troops to suppress other city riots and fortified the tower top. He doesn't think we'll ever reach
42:48the base.
42:52Irene, any word?
42:54Last signal ping came from deep inside the tower. After that, nothing.
43:02Only noise will move them to the panels.
43:07She's waiting for us.
43:18She's waiting for us.
43:21We've been spotted!
43:25Welcome, my dear works. Your journey has been exquisite.
43:30As a reward, I open the gate to your end. No need to batter your heads against the walls.
43:36Come. I await you at the top to give this grand drama of evolution a finale worthy of its scale.
43:49He's right. It's time to right the ending. But who holds the pen is still undecided.
43:56Let's go!
44:14Take cover!
44:22Draw their fire. Give me three seconds.
44:29Take cover!
44:41No!
44:43The dark red main feedback line controls the entire defense loop.
45:02Impressive intuition, my creation. You know how to exploit the system's old wounds. But the real welcome lies ahead.
45:12Oh, and do check the time.
45:19That bastard!
45:21Then we kill him before it hits zero!
45:34The lift is locked. Needs level two clearance.
45:46We force it.
45:53Rake! I've breached the firewall. Stalling activation.
45:59It's too massive. Redirecting to self-destruct. Buying time.
46:09Sivis found me. He's engaging.
46:12My dear Irene. You'll be erased.
46:22Irene?
46:25Kane! Change the charge. North East. Third column base.
46:29I'm out of here.
46:36Fine.
46:40What?
46:44I'm out of here.
46:47I'm out of here.
46:49You're not out of here.
46:52I'm out of here.
46:55I'm out of here.
46:58I'm out of here.
46:59And this is the thing.
46:59I'm out of here.
46:59Look, the last thing.
47:04you've arrived look at you broken yet magnificent a form forged by pure survival instinct
47:14far more beautiful than any design
47:21rake the divine vessel the energy core directly behind the chest
47:26irene hold on still clinging to hope that traitor is already dissolved into data
47:46damn it the energy gap is too wide resonance land seventh pulse struggle is part of evolution
47:53meaningless struggle is just noise
48:04now the seven
48:24your order is complete bullshit
48:50stop eight minutes that's all it takes to turn everything below into ash
48:58and you will die here
49:03go to hell
49:08it's a quantum cascade virus it's rewriting the code as it spreads
49:20irene rake take it
49:26i'm sorry rake
49:28what is this
49:35even the nexus core
49:47damn it
49:49stopping the program requires multiple biometric keys and majority board authorization
49:54impossible forcibly recutting the core output would trigger a chain explosion
49:57enough to destroy half the city
49:59the only option rewrite the directive
50:02repert the overload to a less populated zone
50:13that's my new world my order no one takes it from me
50:33it's over
50:34you me this tower and the filth below we all become the foundation of a new world
50:42russian

51:38baby
51:40oh
51:43next
51:43please
52:04The core's energy mostly shot skyward, following your and Dr. Irene's guidance.
52:15Our people. Butcher. Enflormer. None made it up here.
52:31When clearing the hall's ruins, I found this. Maybe what she desperately preserved in her final moment.
52:59And now, what do we do? Silas is dead. The tower's gone.
53:06But the city is in chaos. No food, water, medicine, or order.
53:13No food, water, medicine, or order.
53:24Freedom!
53:25Freedom!
53:28Freedom!
53:29Freedom!
53:29Theลซ
