Episode I - Offline quest - Soul of Steel
Quest note: Montague and Elenor join and leave in this quest so many times
that I'm not going to mention when they do. Also, I won't mention
all 'camera' changes, there are way too many of them.
Client: Montague
Quest: Please! Can you help me find my darling android that I crafted with
my own bare hands?
Reward: ??? Meseta
[city]
Montague:
-Heh heh heh.
[NAME], so you're the one who decided to take this quest, right?
I am Jean Carlo Montague.
Heh heh heh. I'm very glad.
It was difficult to find someone who'd take this quest.
I'm in something of a rush, you see... Heh heh heh.
Elenor:
-[NAME], I'm Elenor.
Umm. Do you remember me?
Montague:
-Of course we remember you, Elenor.
It's been a while, eh, [NAME]?
I have to ask you for another favor.
What I need to ask you is,
Well, what we want you to do is,
To put it simply,
go find Elenor's sister.
Elenor:
-Yes, please find my sister!
She was kidnapped by some strangers.
Montague:[Montague and Elenor look at each other]
-What kind of awful people would stoop to kidnapping?
Her name is Ult.[Montague looks back at you]
Heh. I will give you more details later.
For now, we want you, [NAME], to go underground with us.
There might be some troublemakers on the way.
We're counting on you. Heh heh heh.
Guild lady:
-Right now, underneath Ragol...
The military unit "WORKS" has an operation underway.
According to the agreement reached by the military and hunters...
Only authorized personnel are allowed to enter the operation area.
Also, a military tribunal has sole jurisdiction over any disputes.
Hunters don't even have the right to speak in their own defense.
The Hunter's Guild cannot protect you from the military.
So please be careful.
[go out of Hunter's Guild, and Sakon notices you]
Sakon:
-!?
(Strange hat, and that pink anroid...)
(That's...)
Hey, you!
Where do you think you're going?
Come here!
[screen goes black for a moment and then shows the party before Sakon]
!!!
Hey, you!
You aren't thinking about going down to Ragol, are you?
Hey! [looks at Montague]
It's you! I know who you are.
Montague:[view changes to him and Sakon]
-...
Hmm.
Sorry, but I've never seen you before.
Sakon:
-Ha ha ha! Don't try to fool me!
Do you know what we have to go through because of you?
Oh, well. Right now, underneath Ragol,
the Galactic Mobile Infantry 32nd Squadron,
WORKS, has an important operation underway.
That's why most of the areas on Ragol have been restricted!
There're rumors that some people aren't obeying our edict, but...
[takes one step towards Montague]
If you make any stupid moves, I'll be forced to hurt you.
So keep that in mind.
Montague:
-([NAME], Elenor, there's something fishy about this guy.)
Umm...
Are you sure you don't need my brain to help you with that operation?
Or are you just being arrogant because you have Ult?
Sakon:
-?
I... I don't know what you're talking about, but...
This is a very important operation for WORKS.
I strongly recommend that you don't interfere
Elenor:
-Umm... It's just that,
You know.
[view changes to overhead view from side]
...
Please give us back my sister!!
And please don't hurt her!
Sakon:[turns android and takes a step towards Elenor]
-!!
Listen, little android girl.
I don't know nothing about your sister.
And besides, we're not doing anything to hurt anyone.
You got it?
[turns his back to the party, press A]
How do you even know that she was kidnapped?
She might have decided to walk away on her own.
OK?
Now, if you want to ask more questions, go talk to the Doctor, OK?
[faces the party again, and the view changes to a close-up of him]
All right, this is your final warning!
Don't do anything stupid!
If you ever enter a restricted operation area...
No matter what kind of excuse you may have, WORKS will eliminate you.
So don't make me do something that you'll regret.
Hey you, Hunter, you too!
Ha ha ha ha.
[disappears]
Montague:
-Hmm...
[NAME], did he scare you?
Don't worry about it. If this was the old WORKS,
things would be different. But the soldiers now are nothing.
All their best men were lost aboard Pioneer 1.
Heh heh heh.
[walks away, Elenor too, but then she suddenly stops]
Elenor:
-[NAME].
Ah...
I have a favor to ask you.
[view changes to show [NAME] and Elenor, press A]
I, I must rescue my sister! I will do whatever it takes!
But, I just don't know where to begin.
I know I can't do this all by myself.
...
Umm... Can you wait here?
[shows her back to you for a moment, then turns back]
...
Can you keep this?
[approaches, then goes back to her position]
Narrator:
-Received "Mag cell" !
Elenor:
-This is a baby Mag.
It's very precious to me.
My sister has an identical one.
What? Oh, why did I...?
I don't really know why.
I just thought it would be able to help you...
Rescue my sister.
Please.
And please take care of my Mag.
...
[pauses]
Montague:
-Hey!
Elenor!
Elenor:[turns to Montague]
-!
Y, yes!
I'm coming!
[walks to Montague]
Quest Board:
>"Mag Cell"
Mag Cell received from Elenor.
[walk towards Montague and Elenor]
[they take a short run to you]
Montague:
-Heh heh.
Thanks.
I've never been good at dealing with soldiers.
They're all such total morons.
You can never reason with them.
Well, anyway, here's some information for you.
As we suspected, there's something very wrong going on.
WORKS is a Special Forces unit within the military. They're sneaky.
They often have ulterior motives, so we should go after them first.
...
Heh heh. She's such an innocent girl.
Oh, never mind...
Heh.
[Mine 2]
[destroy all enemies]
Montague:
-Hey Elenor, do you feel like we're closer to Ult now?
Elenor:
-Ah, hmm...
Sorry, I don't know yet.
Montague:
-Hmm... Oh well, let's move on then.
I really don't want to go. Soldiers make me nervous.
How do we get into that WORKS-controlled area, anyway?
I just don't know how we'll be able to. Hmm...
Computer 1:
-Support Target M-01UL is being displayed.
The computer is locked...
Terminal:
-There's a computer.
It seems to be a transmission terminal for WORKS.
Ukon:
-Hey you! What are you doing there? This area is restricted to
the Galactic Mobile Infantry, 32nd Squadron, WORKS.
Notification has been sent out to all Hunters.
What? You still want to go beyond this point?
Go elsewhere to hunt for your monsters or treasure!
This is no place for that.
You still want to proceed?
>OK, I'll go home.
...
All right, so you understand?
Now go.
>Yes! I want to!
[camera views out a bit and Montague walks away]
Do you know what WORKS is?
Do you think we'll just let you walk right in?
Do you know how easy it is for us to erase your Hunters registration?
We could make it so you'd never be able to set foot on Ragol again!
Now go back to where you came from before I get really mad!
[approach Montague]
Montague:
-A military transmission terminal...
Hmm. I think we can use this.
I think we can use this to distract that soldier.
Let's see here...
[walks to the terminal, screen goes black for a moment]
OK, we're set.
Hee hee...[turns to you]
Now we need some place a little further off.
Let's hide in the next block where the soldier won't be able to see us.
Hee hee...
[arrive behind corner]
Montague:
-He he he... We'll be safe here.
...
The area that we're about to enter is controlled by WORKS.
Once we enter, we can't go back out.
If we return back to Pioneer 2 before our task is done...
We won't be able to enter this place again.
But that's not a problem. I'm sure we'll find Ult.
Hey, it's almost time.
[screen shows terminal beeping, then shows Ukon]
Ukon:
-...
What's that sound?
...[takes a step towards the sound]
I think it's coming from the block over there.
By the terminal...
I should go check.
[walks towards terminal]
Montague:
-OK, let's go.
Let's get through the gate before that soldier comes back!
[if you approach Ukon]
Ukon:
-Hey you! How did you get in here?
You're disturbing the operation.
I don't want to see your face again!
[now you have to redo the procedure]
[Now you have the choice of 2 computers in different rooms. After the
dialogue, Montague and Elenor will remain at the computer]
[click on Computer 2]
Montague:
-Hmm. That looks like interesting data.
It could be useful... Do you mind if I take a look?
[screen goes black for a moment, and Montague and Elenor are standing before
the computer]
Hmm... very interesting.
Hmm?[turns to you]
What was it all about? Well, this doesn't apply to us right now, but...
Well, I'll try to explain briefly.
First of all...
This underground facility was being accessed by 3 automatic computers.
Each one kept an eye on the others, and maintained balance.
Secondly,
The AI names of these autonomic computer were...
Calus[line break] Vol Opt[line break] Olga
Third, access logs show that the first 2 were located in this facility.
But the last one, Olga has no logs after that huge explosion occurred.
We can't trace it back from here, either.
I believe that the route was actually closed frm the other side.
[view changes to overhead]
So what, you say?
Well, from what can be speculated from this data is...
The Olga was never here, and a similar lab existed somewhere else.
You see...
If that's the case, then some kind of transport would be needed.
You follow?
Even if there is another facility like this,
Where would it be? And why was it needed?
You see, I can speculate a great deal from this data.
But then, this is all just speculation. Heh.
Elenor:
-I don't quite understand.
Montague:[turns to Elenor]
-Heh.
Well, as I said, it doesn't really apply to us directly.
[you start to flash]
[NAME]:
-I think the Mag moved.
Computer 2:
-Support Target M-01UL is being displayed.
The computer is locked...
Quest Board:
-"Mag Cell"
It seems like the Mag Cell is getting bigger.
[While crossing one of the passageways, an earthquake will occur. If you
chose Computer 2, Montague and Elenor will have moved to another room. If
you try to go to them, you can overhear a conversation.]
Elenor:
-Uh, Doctor? Can I ask you a question?
Montague:
-What is it?[view changes to them]
Elenor:
-Almost every Hunters I've seen has a Mag.
How come I don't have one?
Montague:
-Oh.
Hmm. I thought I told you this before...
You're carrying a baby Mag inside your body.
And that Mag is a very important Mag, Elenor.
It could possibly change the world as we know it.
But it can also be very dangerous, so you need to be careful.
So it's your job to keep this baby safe.
Do you understand?
That's why I won't let you have another Mag. It could harm your baby.
This goes for both you and your sister Ult.
Elenor:
-Um.
Ah...
Um.
Montague:
-You didn't lose it, did you?
Elenor:
-!!!
(Actually, I... ...to [NAME].)
...
No, I haven't!
Montague:
-Good.
Unless you disconnect the link, it cannot detach itself from you.
Don't scare me like that. Heh heh.
[you start to flash]
[NAME]
-I think the Mag moved.
Quest Board:
>"Mag Cell"
The Mag Cell shows signs of movement.
Montague:
-Heh heh.
Hmm...
[NAME]! Can you search this area a little more?
I'm counting on you.
Elenor:
-!!!
Don't scare me like that.
[NAME]...
Were you able to find Ult?
Unfortunately, she's not here.
[click on Computer 3]
Montague:
-Heh.
It's really exciting to see such a precise machine.
[NAME]! We're counting on you to find Ult![turns to you]
Start searching this area.
Elenor:[turns to Montague]
-Doctor...
Why don't we go look for my sister?
Heh. What are you talking about?
We need to gather information.
Let's see.
What can we find?
Ha ha ha.
Computer 3:
-Support Target M-01UL is being displayed.
The computer is locked...
[approach the blue light near a closed door, screen goes black for a moment,
and Ult appears]
Ult:
-Who's there? Elenor?
Is it the Doctor?
No...
I will decide my own destination.
No one can stop me.
[turns her back to you, press A]
Someone is calling me.
I must go.
[pauses]
...
It won't do you any good to follow me.
I will...
I will go to her.
[point 1]
Narrator:
-Mission! Don't lose sight of Ult!
[if you fail]
Narrator:
-You lost Ult... Mission Failed!
Montague:
-Have you found Ult yet?
Elenor:
-Doctor...
I still can't sense Ult yet...
Montague:
-I see...
There's nothing we can do now, [NAME]!
If you stay too far, then you'll lose her. Be careful.
[Elenor then looks in front of her]
Elenor:
-Doctor!
Ult!
Montague:
-!!!
[NAME], it's Ult!
Be more careful no to lose her again!
We'll be right behind you.
We're counting on you!
[view changes to Ult]
Ult:
-Huh?
Who is calling me?
Who?
[go to point 1]
[if you succeed]
Narrator:
-Don't lose sight of Ult! Mission Accomplished!
[Ult looks at you, then walks through the closed door]
[approach Ult]
Ult:
-You're still following me?
Huh?
Who's that?
Doctor? Elenor?
Montague & Elenor:
-Ult!
[they approach]
Montague:
-He he he...
Ult! It was you!
I'm glad I followed you.
Ult?
Ult! Don't you recognize me?
I can't believe you went and followed those soldiers.
What's wrong with you? This isn't at all like you!
Ult:
-Don't come here!
I can't...
Calling me...
Someone is calling me.
From the edge...
I...
[blue light surrounds Ult for a moment]
Montague:
-Hmm... Ult isn't acting normal!
Elenor! Stop her!
Elenor:
-Huh?
Y, yes.
[Elenor walks towards Ult, stops, walks towards her again and then Ult
disappears]
!?
Ah, uh, Ult?
Montague:
-She disappeared...
What an amazing phenomenon.
She seems to be reacting to something.
I'm sensing something strange about the Photons in this area.
Maybe it's the abnormal Photons?
...
WORKS... Ha ha ha. Interesting.
Very interesting, indeed.
[approach next door when you unlocked it, screen goes black for a moment]
Montague:
-Hmm...
The security seems to be much tighter here.
When we advance, we need to be careful.
Soldiers and security androids are everywhere.
If you get too close, they'll detect us. We need to be very careful.
It's not a good idea to travel as a group here.
[NAME]! Will you go first?
We'll hide here for now.
We'll try to remain undiscovered.
Narrator:
-Mission! Advance without being caught by the military androids.
[if you get caught by a TYPE:0]
TYPE:O:
-!!!
Intruder detected.
According to WORKS Regulation R254...
Intruder will be...
Eliminated.
[restart from the beginning of this mission]
[if you get caught by a TYPE:W]
TYPE:W:
-Intruder detected.
According to WORKS Regulation R254...
Intruder...
Eliminate
[restart from the beginning of this mission]
[if you succeed]
Narrator:
-Elude the military androids. Mission Successful!
[screen goes black for a moment, then shows Montague and Elenor running to
you]
Elenor:
-[NAME], and...
Ult is there, too!
Montague:
-Ha ha ha.
Ult! I'll never let you out of my sight again.
My powers of deduction are telling me...
It's too dangerous for you to be here any longer.
I don't really care what the military does.
Just as long as they don't hurt you!
Now come, Ult!
Elenor:
-Ult!
Let's go home now!
Ult:
-Don't tell me what to do!
I want...
I want to be free...
(I want to evolve)
Stuck inside a capsule...
(underneath the ground)
I'm sick of it all...
[Ult walks away]
Elenor:
-Ult! Don't go!
Montague:
-!!!
Wait, Ult!
I can't let her go like this.
Can you keep up? Let's go, Elenor!
[both start to walk away as the view moves]
Elenor:
-Oh, y, yes. I'm OK.
Doctor, I will help you!
[earthquake, screen goes black for a moment]
[approach locked door]
Sakon:
-Aha! I've finally found you!
Now don't move...
[camera shows Sakon and his androids, screen goes black for a moment, then
they take some steps forward and Sakon looks in your direction]
How did you get in here?
I'll give you credit for getting this far.
But your luck has just run out.
You worthless Hunters...
Ain't got no respect!
I'll take care of the doctor later. First, I'll take care of you.
I will teach you a lesson for messing with WORKS!
[earthquake]
???
What? What's happening?
Could our operation have caused this?
We didn't predict anything like this.
Oh no!
TYPE:O:
-Sensors have detected enemies!
Estimating a large number of creatures.
TYPE:W:
-Distance 300...
200...
100...
Danger Danger Danger...
TYPE:O:
-Upgrading to Mode D.
Eliminate intruders!
TYPE:W:
-Eliminate...
Sakon:
-It can't be!
This whole area should be under the control of WORKS.
But why are they...
Is it due to the abnormal Photon effect that the doctor predicted?
If that's the case, then I shall destroy everything!
Be prepared!
I will show you what the military can do!
Say your last prayer, and prepare to die!
[attacks together with androids]
[defeat them and destroy all enemies]
The power of WORKS...
Is this...
It?
[pauses]
...
I won't.
I won't be able to face the commander like this.
Ugh...
I'll never let scum like you disrupt this noble operation.
I won't let you get away with this.
Ha ha ha ha. I'll blow us all apart!
(Mark my words, this operation will succeed. Nothing can stop it!)
[screen goes black for a moment]
Loudspeaker:
-Emergency!!
Ruins WORKS Terminal WMC.
Incoming transmission from WORKS District 07
Emergency Program activated.
All staff, evacuate occupied District area.
Relocate to a designated shelter.
I repeat... This is an emergency!
Narrator:
-Mission! Stop the Emergency Program! Go to the Ruins computer!
[if you did the Bernie subplot, then when you enter the next room, the screen
goes black for a moment, and you can overhear a conversation]
Sue:
-Long time no see, Doc! Since our home world?
Montague:
-Yeah. I heard that you were here. I thought you got out of this business.
Well, I've got my reasons.
...
You're getting involved quite a bit yourself, Dr. Montague.
It seems like you're still under surveillance, too.
I found your name in Dr. Osto's research data from Pioneer 1.
I believe it was the military's M Plan...
He's not only got his hands in the government, but other places, too.
Montague:
-Dr. Osto was a great scientist. It's too bad we lost such a good man!
But he had a tendency to get too caught up in his research.
And when he was like that, he often made very poor decisions.
Sue:
-You too, have that same tendency. Always focusing too much on the research.
Maybe I can help you put an end to your poor habit. Good bye, Doctor!
Elenor:
-An attack is imminent. Should we fight back?
Montague:
-No need, Elenor.
Elenor:
-OK. Temporarily disarming.
Sue:
-I wouldn't do anything like that.
So about your partner, [NAME].
What is that all about?
Montague:
-? What are you talking about?
Sue:
-How much does [NAME] know?
Montague:
-Well... Heh.
Elenor:
-[NAME] is a good person.
Sue:
-... Oh, well. It doesn't matter.
I must agree with you. Sometimes, you don't need to know everything.
Your life could be at risk if you know too much.
Montague:
-I thought it would be good to have someone with a more...
Objective point of view.
Sue:
-...
OK, one piece of advice for you.
Part of the military has been making some strange moves...
It's dangerous to move around without knowing what's going on!
Nothing positive will come out of it. Especially for Pioneer 2.
Montague:
-I told them that many times, but they never listened.
Sue:
-Why don't you talk directly with Leo Grahart?
...
See you.
[steps into transporter]
Montague:
-Sue
Sue:
-What?
Montague:
-Osto didn't do his research here.
The only facilities here are for mining and refining.
That includes the ones below, too.
Sue:[turns to Montague]
-I know.
What's below here is...
hell.
[you start to flash]
[NAME]:
-I think the Mag moved.
Quest Board:
>"Mag Cell"
Mag Cell is getting darker.
[approach Montague and Elenor]
Montague:
-Are you all right, [NAME]?
Everyone from WORKS is running around, screaming.
Hmm...
What??
Hmm. They sure don't go away quietly, eh?
We found Ult, but...
She got away again.
Something really bothers me.
Ult's an older model, but just like Elenor, she's completely autonomous.
She shouldn't become that unstable, even if someone tried to control her.
Hmm.
It just doesn't make sense... Wait...
And it happened to Elenor...
(Ult did react to the abnormal Photons...)
(And she somehow vanished, just like magic...)
(It can't be...)
(Why would Ult's Evolutionary Emotion Device be activated now?)
Elenor:
-Doctor! Ult seems to have gone down from here!
Montague:
-Good job, Elenor.
Hmm... What's that? I have a bad feeling about this area.
Elenor, can you collect the data for this area?
[turns to you]
Um... Yes!
Scanning...
... ...
... ... ...
I can't find anything unusual.
Wow!
The Photon density in the air is...
Rising exponentially!!!
[earthquake]
Montague:
-!!!
Hmm.
I guess we don't have much time.
I wanted to collect more data, but...
I think we better get out of here.
...
(I just hope that operation will fail.)
Oh, nothing.
We're going to go down now, so come with us as soon as you can.
[both disappear]
[Ruins 3]
[approach Montague and Elenor]
Montague:
-You made it.
This is being triggered by WORKS' Self-Destruct Program.
[NAME], can you find the computer?
If I can get a hold of it, I should be able to stop the explosion.
Heh he he...
Their feeble attempt to protect themselves from my intellect is a joke.
They couldn't outwit me if they put all their brains together. Heh.
[approach monument]
Montague:
-Wait, [NAME]!
Sorry, but something's been bothering me.
[walks to monument]
Hmm.
What's that?
There's a really strange looking computer over there.
[press A]
Hmm...
This one is different from the one in the tunnel.
This is from Pioneer 2's military.
I can't believe them. They might as well just put up a sign saying,
"Terminal Computer, HERE!"
Heh heh.
[arrive at terminal]
Montague:
-Let's see what this thing is all about.
Hmm...
Aha...
... ...
Ha ha ha.
How's this?
I guess they didn't add my intellect into their calculations.
Heh heh heh.
Terminal:
-Emergency Program has been cancelled.
Narrator:
-Stop the Emergency Program! Mission Accomplished!
Montague:
-... ...
Hmm. There's another program hidden here.
Looks like we're going to find something interesting, too.
...
... ...
... ... ...
Aha! I see now.
That's why it was Ult.
So it means that this order wasn't given by Leo.
But it must have come from someone with special plans for Elenor.
There's no way they could have pulled it off with this kind of setup.
But... If the program is still running around, that means...
[press A]
What!?
[NAME].[both turn to you and take a step towards you]
It looks like they had this all planned out.
...
They did this just to keep us here.
I can't believe we fell for such a simple trap.
First of all, this Self Destruct Program bought them some time.[turns to Elenor]
Their ultimate objective is to release Ult's power.
The abnormal Photon levels were catalyst...
It...
Well, they were planning to trigger the circuit I hid inside Ult.
What a simple plan!
I can't believe their stupidity, though!
They still won't be able to control anything!
I just can't take it anymore.
How could they believe they'd ever actually control such power?
That primitive equipment could never contain that kind of power!
Now just this area, but the whole infrastructure of Ragol would...
Phew...
Anyway, we don't have much time.
Let's go get Ult!
I believe that is our best course of action for now.
That WORKS!
Messing with my little baby...
They are going to pay for this!
[view shows Ult and Sakon, Ult stops, then Sakon too, and he turns to Ult]
Sakon:
-Ha ha ha. We're almost there, Ult!
I must deliver you to the designated location.
Then the operation will be complete!
Those guys must have figured out that they've been duped, by now!
We better hurry.
Ult:
-Uh...[dust starts to fly]
My body. My body is heating up.
I can't take this! Let me go free!
[earthquake]
Sakon:
-!!
No! She's going out of control!
This wasn't predicted in the simulation!
How much power does this thing have?
[approaches Ult]
OK, good girl.
Calm down, Ult!
Ult:
-!!!
No!!
Don't come any closer...
[an explosion of power occurs, then view changes to the party]
Montague:
-Hmm. An explosion?
We're getting close, very close!
No... Not Ult!?
[Elenor steps to the side of the platform]
Elenor:
-!!!
No! Ult!
Ult![screen shows Ult walking]
Please wait!
Montague:
-No!
Ult! Don't go any further!
Ult!
...
[pauses, Montague and Elenor turn to you]
OK, we've got to hurry!
We must find Ult.
We're not going to let WORKS get away with this.
Terminal:
-It seems like the runes are being researched.
It looks like the research has been temporarily suspended.
[approach area where Ult was walking, screen goes black for a moment]
Elenor:
-...
Doctor, where did Ult go?
Montague:[turns to you]
-Hmm.
Let's split up and try to find her.
Elenor, can you start with the hall way over there?
I'm going to start looking here.

Montague:
-Ha ha ha.
[NAME]! Elenor!
I found Ult!
Come here, quickly!
[if Elenor sees Ult]
Elenor:
-[NAME]! Doctor!
Ult is here!
Can you help her?
[when you run into Ult, she teleports to a specific place]
Ult:
-Somebody...
come and...
get me...
[when you catch her at that specific place]
Montague:
-Ult![view shows Montague running through left door]
Elenor:
-Ult![view shows Elenor running through right door]
Narrator:
-Find and capture Ult! Mission Accomplished!
Ult:
-!!!
Doctor?
Elenor?
Montague:
-Ha ha ha. Great timing.
There's no way out. Ha ha ha.
Ult! Come here!
Elenor:
-I'm so glad you're safe.
I was worried sick!
Ult:
-Elenor... Thank you.
But. I must...
[dust starts to fly, press A]
Ugh!
My body...
(Need to get out...)
My body is heating up...
(Get outside...)
Montague:
-No!
Ult is fusing with the abnormal Photons...
My poor baby!
Idiots! WORKS, and their simplistic plans...
Ult wasn't made to handle this! She's still just a prototype!
She's not built to take this kind of punishment. The abnormal energy!!!
[press A]
Elenor.
Quickly. Download Ult's data!
Elenor:[turns to Montague]
-Doctor?
!!
Y, yes! I understand!
Ult:
-...[Elenor takes a step forward]
Listen to me while I am still...
Myself.
Doctor, Elenor...
Elenor:
-U, Ult...
Montague:
-!!
Don't stop! Continue the download!
Ult:
-I.[a line of light bolts is generated between Ult and Elenor as she downloads]
I...
I've always been inside the capsule in the lab.
I want freedom...
Elenor, I always envied you.
I wanted to create my future with my own hands.
That was my dream.
Then...
I received a telepathic call from Ragol.
It called to me...
"I want to free myself," it said.
Whatever it was, it wanted the same thing I did.
Because even now...
[earthquake, even more dust flies]
Ult:
-No.
It didn't matter what the reason was.
I just needed someone to prod me...
But it turned out that I was only being selfish.
[press A]
Ult:
-I never knew that...
I had it inside of me.
It feels strange. It doesn't feel like it's part of me.
It's like a creature that thirsts for fresh blood.
Insane... hungry... And it was to same as that... something...
I had that hunger. A hunger for freedom, to be like Elenor.
My control device could not hold me back from my desire for freedom. I...
I should've listened to the Doctor.
I never should've come down to Ragol.
...
I'm so sorry.
Can you forgive me?
Doctor.
Elenor.
and [NAME]. You came to get me.
Thank you.
For risking your lives for me.
[light forms around Ult, press A]
Ugh!
Ahhh!!
Ahhhhhh!!!!
[earthquake, the light disappears, press A]
Ult:
-My final request.
Leave. Run away...
[a telepipe appears, Ult teleports to the other side of the pit]
Elenor:
-Doctor!
Montague:
-Elenor, it's too dangerous to stay here anymore!
Emergency escape back to Pioneer 2!
I'm sorry, Ult.
Hang in there.
[steps inside of the telepipe, then turns to you and Elenor]
!!
Come here, [NAME]! Elenor!!!
Elenor:
-I can't....
Take this any more!
Ult!
[explosion of power, the whole Ruins is engufled with fire, then, the screen
goes black]
Ult:
-Thank you.
[you appear in the Medical Center]
[NAME]:
-This is the Medical Center...
Feels like I've been asleep forever...
Dr. Montague, Elenor, And Ult...
I wonder if she's OK...
Nurse:
-[NAME]!
I'm so glad you're awake!
You've been asleep for days. We were all so worried.
Oh, yeah...
Someone named Elenor came to visit quite a few times.
You should let her know that you're OK.
-You shouldn't make such a cute girl cry!
Guild lady:
-I have a message here from your client, Dr. Montague.
I'll forward it to your BEE system, [NAME].
Oh, and...
Go to the counter at the Hunter's Guild to ask for your reward.
-Strange things have been happening in the past few days.
First, the computer in the Hunter's Guild malfunctions, then...
All these soldiers and Hunters start running around.
I wonder what's going on.
Quest Board:
>"Mail from the Doctor"
Can you hear me? OK.
First, I want you to know that
I will be gone before you check out of the hospital.
Don't worry.
Elenor is OK.
And if we're lucky, Ult will be fine too.
I'm not called a genius for nothing, you know. Heh heh heh.
Anyway, there are few things I've got to take care of right now.
There's going to be a little trouble.
So I must get going.
So long...

Montague:

Come here, [NAME]! Elenor!!!
Elenor:
-Ult!
[takes a step forward, energy beams fly into her]
Montague:
-Elenor! Don't do it!
Elenor:
-No![a circle of energy surrounds her]
I must rescue Ult!
Ult:
-A, aaaahh...
[Elenor teleports to Ult, who releases an explosion of energy, and the screen
goes black for a moment]
[Elenor is still surrounded by a circle of energy, and she walks towards Ult,
who is lying on the floor]
Elenor: Ult! W, why?
No...
No, this can't be happening.
[energy starts to fly, then the Mag Cell starts to flash]
Narrator:
-Elenor's Mag Cell is reacting!
[earthquake]
Elenor:
-No!
...
Uh.[beams of energy fly up in the air from Elenor]
Montague:[steps out of the telepipe]
-!? What is it, Elenor?
Elenor:
-Doctor, there's something wrong.
I've never felt like this before.
...[energy beams grow bigger]
I will...
[suddenly, her Mag appears]
Montague:
-"ELENOR"...!
It can't be. Why is this happening now?
Elenor:
-SYSTEM MOTHER 01 CODE YN-0117 ACTIVATED[beeps are heard]

Ha ha ha!!
[3 same choices]
>Rescue Elenor
Montague:[turns to you]
-!
Sorry, [NAME]! I kind of just lost it.
Elenor!
!!!
I see. So, the abnormal Photons were emanating from the runes!
That's the reason why the prediction was so far off.
I can't believe I didn't see this!
*It doesn't matter how it's done. We have to access...[turns to Elenor]
Elenor:
-[NAME]. Doctor.
I... don't think...
I... can...
Run away!
Please...
Montague:
-Elenor!
Are you going to blow yourself up too?
[NAME]!
[press A]
It started when I became involved with a military project called "MOTHER."
Government officials wanted to extend their control of the military.
"MOTHER" is capable of controlling anything with the latest AI program.
This included anything from Mags to androids to...
huge warships.
Due to its sensitive nature, the project was hidden away on Ragol.
I should've never gotten involved in the first place.
I thought of this as nothing more than an interesting experiment.
But it's different, now!
And Elenor isn't just another experiment to me.
She's my pride and joy.
I cannot live without her.
This has become a personal matter, I hope you understand.
That's why I can't let you get involved in this.
I know that you care for her as much as I do.
So I'm going to have to ask you to go back to Pioneer 2 [NAME].
I will take care of Elenor. You can count on it!
[3 choices, choosing OK or three times No. has the same outcome]
>No.
Please try to understand!
There is nothing more you can do!
>No.
You're so stubborn!
The Elenor that you see is not the same Elenor you know!
I will have to force you to go back!
>No.[or one time OK.]
[energy beams fly into her again]
Elenor!
Oh, man...
Jean!
Is this all you can come up with?
Elenor:
-[NAME]...
Doctor...
Thank you...
This is good bye...
Ult...[turns to Ult]
Ult said,
She envied me because I was free, but...
I, I was able to enjoy myself because
Hee hee.
I was with her.
....
...
..
.
Together until the end.
[Elenor smiles at Ult, releases an energy explosion, then screen goes black]
[you appear in the Medical Center]
[NAME]:
-This is the Medical Center...
Feels like I've been asleep forever...
Dr. Montague, Elenor, And Ult...
I wonder if she's OK...
Nurse:
-[NAME]!
I'm so glad you're awake!
You've been asleep for days. We were all so worried.
Oh, yeah...
Someone named Elenor came to visit quite a few times.
You should let her know that you're OK.
-You shouldn't make such a cute girl cry!
[step out of the Medical Center, view changes to inside the Hunter's Guild,
where Sakon, Ash and Nadja are]
Sakon:
-So...
We'd like to ask you all as well.
This is going to be very serious. I'm counting on you.
Ash:
-I'll take care care of it!
Nadja:
-...
[both go away, while Sakon watches them leave]
Sakon:

[if you answered three times "No." to Montague's question, next time you play
this quest you get this]
Guild lady:
-[NAME]?
This client has specifically asked for you via the BEE system.
...I think.
Umm. We don't know who this was sent from.
He wants you to go see him in person.
It says that you should know where to find him.
...
Are you sure this is OK?
Oh, well...
Anyway, good luck!
-Anyway, good luck!
[Forest]
Elenor:[screen goes black for a moment, after a moment she turns to you]
-!
You startled me.
[NAME].
It's been a while.
I can't remember what I was thinking about.
I wanted to tell you something...
Let's see, let's see...
[choice]
[after having asked three questions, no matter if they were three different
or not, the dialogue continues at point 2]
>The Mag?
...
This one?
No problem!
The Doctor has been very careful to fix it properly.
I think he said something like, "There goes my plans!"
Of course, I don't know what he was talking about.
[go to choice]
>Ult?
...
Ult!
Yes!
She's all right! My sister is all right!
The Doctor said that the backup data I got saved her life!
But he said she will take a little more time to fully recover.
[go to choice]
>Montague?
What? The Doctor? Yes, he is well.
Yes, he's busy right now.
He was saying something about atonement...
And, vengeance?
Things we can do for the future?
[go to choice]
[point 2]
Elenor:
-Ummm.
I'm actually about to leave.
Of course, the Doctor will be with me.
Yes, I think we'll be gone for a while.
...
...
Let's see.
I don't quite remember all the details from that time...
But, I did hear a voice.
I don't know if that voice belonged to the Doctor or Ult, or...
Maybe...
...
Was that you, [NAME]!
"Don't give up."
"Hang in there." That's what I heard.
...
...
Sorry, it's kind of silly.
A, anyway...
Thank you very much!
...
..
.
[walks away, stops, then after a moment, turns to you]
Oh, yeah! [NAME]!
Are you taking care of the Mag?
I am sure you are, but...
You must remember to give it lots of love!
OK?
...
..
.
Mags have feelings too, you know.
[blue energy surrounds her as she dissapears, a telepipe appears]

-Were you able to find your client?
Pretty strange if you ask me.
