Orcal is a fake prophet, alright. Personal link? Please. I’ve never heard of anything like that! He extorted the citizens… That’s it. That’s exactly it. What a crazy old bastard. Us free citizens have to win! United citizens will never be defeated!
My goal is to build the biggest shop in Xion. Dreaming big isn’t a crime, right? … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Damn it… I shouldn’t have joined the Scavengers.
Susan’s condition is getting worse. It looks like her Body Cell is running low. We have to replace the Body Cell before it’s too late. … … … … … … … … … … Pablo… I’m sorry, friend. I’m sorry… I’m sorry… … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
Chris’s obsession is getting worse. Should I tell Donna? What if Donna gets hurt? … … … … … … … … … … … … Donna called and said she wants to meet. I think I should tell her before it’s too late.
Artemis 49, please find a way to back up and export data from the archive. If we’re able to maintain even the copies of data, we can restore it later and connect to the NETWORK again.
Codename “Gigas” has finally been sighted. Sharing coordinates now. For reference, Gigas is stronger than any Naytiba we’ve encountered so far. Team Athena, get ready and head to the operation site.
I received messages from a city called Xion. It said everyone is welcome. It said we could all live together. The city welcomes everyone in the name of the Prophet Orcal. I don’t believe it’s a real city. I think my sisters believe in it, though. Maybe they just need something to believe. I wish I could go there. I truly do.
Me, a hibernation subject? What a joke! …… …… …… …… You can rebuild Xion if there is a Hyper Cell, huh? Nonsense. …… …… I’ll build my own future, with my own two hands!
They caught a whiff of our scent! We have to get out of here right now! I’ll go this way. Are you ready? ….. ….. ….. ….. John, we’ll meet again. Don’t forget that.
Mary, do you know why you’re special? Because you don’t give up. …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… I failed, but…you can succeed. Promise me you’ll live and make it to Xion… Thank you…Mary.
Too much has happened… The Naytibas invaded… The Colony fell… The end of the world has come, and yet… I’m still alive. I guess my luck has finally run out.
Before I met you, I… I was nothing. When I was living in the sewers… you saved me. I’m glad I was able to repay that debt. Please arrive safely in Xion…
Contamination is in progress here as well. What the hell are these things feeding off of? Isn’t it moss? No, take a close look. I’m sure you’ve seen this hard, dark reddish skin somewhere. Yes. You’re right. This is a Naytiba. It’s a perfect match. There definitely is something unusual happening. I should hurry back to the Under Crew. Huh? Bonnie, what’s wrong?
Amanda… Are you trying to seduce Chris? You’re supposed to be my only friend! You know how hard I worked for this happiness! I’ll never forgive you! I’ll kill you, you hag!
Freedom Liberation Alliance was going to cross the Great Desert peacefully and build a settlement at the rally point. We cannot trust Orcal, who imprisons us in the Cradle, suppresses any voice of reason, and is hatching a mysterious plot using Naytibas.
We swear on our fallen comrades that we have been holding fast to nonviolence. However, we came to a conclusion that we cannot withstand the city anymore. All we can do is to flee the city and hope for the best.
But as we fled the city, they struck us from the shadow. In the darkness masked by the sand storm, they chased after us. In the end, we all are scattered apart. I wish this was just a bad dream. A nightmare. I ran like a maniac, holding a container of our funds and supplies, and the evidence of Orcal and the Royal Guards’ monstrosity in my hands.
Bu@ We ar# free and United Peo#@e Can&&t be Defeated. Comrade @& That sand l*ke a mir_ge I will so^n arriv#. Ah, I see them. I need to call out to them. I need to let them know my location. Here, I have drones. I will contact my comrades by delivering these data chips via the drones.
Let’s go to the orbit elevator, Naomi. Even the Sentinels won’t follow us to the orbit elevator. …… …… …… …… …… Listen to me! The orbit elevator is our only chance for survival. We can make it… I promise.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … When the elevator stopped and the door opened, shining light poured in. … … … … … … The sunlight didn’t melt my skin. It just felt warm, and nice… … … … … … … This is the door to paradise, I know it! … … … … … … I have to inform the Under Crew of this surprising discovery! … … … … … …
Though I may have been exiled from Xion, I will never succumb to Orcal. This oppressor deceives the denizens, and takes advantage of Naytibas to dominate the city!
I saw the Angel’s Egg from yonder. An Angel’s descent in this great desert is an auspicious sign.
Are my comrades safe? I miss them. Aaron, Echo, and Liam…
Leader, I failed. Leader, I’m so sorry… I failedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailedfailed. The Service Drones can’t be transported to the target point. I failed.
Today is February 14th. I know because Sophia gave me a present. Long ago, there was a custom of giving gifts to one’s beloved on February 14th, and they called it Valentine’s Day. So, today is February 14th. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … I miss…you… Sophia…
We struggled so hard to survive. Even when family or friends died… We fought without giving in. We can now see the end in sight. We’re exhausted. Our will to fight is all gone. Now, it’s time to end this pain, this sorrow…this despair.
If we unite… If we become one entity… That’s when she’ll wake up from the debris. … … … … That’s what Orcal taught us. That’s the only reason we survived till now.
Listen up, Sam. We’re not safe. These bastards are waiting for us to go back to the Under Crew. They’re keeping their distance on purpose. You don’t want to lead those monsters to the Under Crew, right? … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Close the door once you’ve successfully lured them. Then, head right back to the Under Crew. Don’t wait up for me. You know that I’m the fastest in the crew. I’ll catch up to you. Don’t worry.
Stop talking nonsense! I’ll never leave you again! Whether we live or die, we’re in this together until the end. Stop crying and get up. We’ll go to the Colony together!
Nico… Did you know? There’s a garden in the Prestige Lounge with flowers and trees. …… …… …… …… …… It reminds me of the garden we used to play in when we were young. It feels like an echo of a memory…
The NETWORK has been destroyed. I’m completely disconnected from the Colony’s data link.
We have nowhere to fall back to. Is this the Naytibas’ doing? Is the Colony safe? What happened to Mother Sphere?
I lost track of time, since even that won’t automatically correct itself. For the sake of my own sanity, I must keep track of the calendar by force-editing my memory stick.
I can’t believe I’m running three shifts just to keep tabs on a monster. Mann must be losing his mind. Maybe he needs system maintenance. What? I should watch my mouth? I’d rather go to the brig than do this.
What? Up? What do you mean? What’s u#######__*********@@@@@@@
Damn it! The wound… Checking body status. … … … The current rate of blood loss is 10.5mL per minute. Treatment recommended. … … … Damn… Is this the last thing I’ll ever see?
Hyperion 11, comms are down! Unable to transmit or receive! The Naytibas are sending out an interference signal! … … … … … … The entity emitting the interference signal has been located!
I survived that damned Abaddon! I survived! … … … … … … … … … … … … Now all I have to do is get out of this building. I’ll see you at the rendezvous point. … … … … … … … …
We lost communication with the control unit! I think they were attacked! … … … … … … … … We have to move now! It’s too dangerous to stay here! … … … … … There are just too many of them! Oh, no!
Naytibas know no fear. Isn’t fear a result of consciousness of the self? Does that mean they’re not alive? … … … … … … Where did the Naytibas come from? Why are they attacking humans? It seems as if they’re carrying out orders engraved into their instincts.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … While coming over to Section 59, I saw what was falling from the sky. That was no orbital explosion. In fact, I wish I never saw it at all. Now I know there’s no hope left for this land… … … … … … … … … … … … …
One Legion squadron has about 20,000 troops and all the equipment needed for their activities. … … … … … … … … … … … … Legions 8 and 15 were stationed in Eidos 7. After the Colony Extinction, there were only about 3,000 troops left. … … … … … … … … … … … … I wonder how many will live to see the sun rise tomorrow.
We’ve all lost people we care about! It’s time for revenge! … … … … … … … … … … The lives of the citizens are in our hands! Hang in there until the final orbit elevator leaves!
… … … … … … … … … … It looks like the NETWORK is completely disconnected. I tried reconnecting to it, but nothing works. My head feels so empty. Where is Mother Sphere? I can’t feel her anymore. Mother, please save us. … … … … … …
Elite division Athena has been wiped out. The lacerated state of the corpses tells us it’s the work of a single Naytiba. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … What was that sound? Something is coming this way, fast. … … … … … … … … … … … … Damn it! It’s here!
A giant wave swept the city away. Dead bodies were floating around amidst the debris of the underwater city. The communication system is also down. … … … … … … … I’m sure that deformed insect is a Naytiba. I hate to even entertain the idea, but it looks a lot like us.
It was a film with a predictable storyline about mankind winning against alien monsters that invaded Earth. At the start of the movie, the monsters slaughter humans left and right.
Even armed soldiers aren’t able to do anything until the main character appears. We’re playing the role of those soldiers.
Legionnaire 292 with the Hyperion… We were hiding at the outskirts of the city, waiting for the right opportunity. But the opportunity never came. The shards of the Colony started to fall from the sky, along with a report that a crack was appearing on the dam… The city was underwater in a matter of seconds.
… … … … … … …
… … … …
It’s impossible to complete the mission. Gather the remaining people and tell them to retreat. You have to survive! That’s an order!
Why is the rescue team so late? We’ve lost connection to comms. I promised I wouldn’t eat this garbage food again… … … … … … … We have to last until the rescue team comes… The body needs fuel to survive.
Restart the Solar Tower? That’s completely crazy! It’s nothing more than a suicide mission! … … … … … …
… … … …
You’re still gonna do it, even knowing that? You’re all out of your minds.
Only death remains in this city. Humans who’ve lost all hope have locked themselves up and are waiting for death to take them. I think some areas of the orbit elevator are still functional. Let’s use that to head out into space… Yes!
I saw you in my dream, Mary. Your voice, your face, your touch… You seemed very happy. Protected by Mother Sphere… Leave all the suffering behind you and just live your happiest days. Goodbye, Mary.
He asked if I believe in Mother Sphere. I said no. He said that it would be less painful if I believed in something. I answered in my head: The only person I believe in is you. … … … … … I just hope today’s not our last…
I’m just a burden. Useless, helpless… Everyone has to protect me… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … I want to get stronger. I want to be the one to protect the people I care about.
This is Sector 9! The bastards are coming through the sewage line! … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Unable to carry out the entrance blast operation! The scouts have not come back yet! There’s still some time! Just, give me a little more time! … … … …
They gave weapons to children. One of the scared ones burst into tears. The poor kid was taken away and never heard from again. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Are we even trying to fight monsters anymore? Or are we becoming the monsters ourselves?
…… …… …… …… …… I saw something unbelievable. My dead comrades came back to life! But… They were no longer human… There were tentacles…coming out of their faces. Those monsters were controlling the corpses like marionettes …… …… …… …… ……
The Naytibas know no fear. That’s why they never back down. …… …… …… …… …… Fear is something that’s awakened by the ego. Naytibas aren’t living things, as they don’t have the ability to experience fear. So don’t ever hesitate to kill them again. …… …… …… …… ……
We chose isolation to keep out danger. We made rules, reduced waste, and supported each other. However, a number of earthquakes brought death upon this place. Monsters began to invade through the cracks that were created when the ground started to collapse.
I want to hear Helen’s voice. I want to see Helen. … … … … … … … … … … … … I have to see Helen. I will survive. I’ll survive and go to the Colony. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Please wait for me, Helen.
I-It’s a hunting ground… It’s just a place for them to satisfy their hunger… We’re nothing but prey to them… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … It’s over. Our fate is sealed. Resisting won’t change anything.
Damn it! They found us! Everyone to their positions! … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Bulletproof enemy sighted! Aim for the nerve clusters on its body! … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Reinforcements will arrive soon! Hang in there!
John, you’re alive! Thank goodness! We can wait to celebrate later. … … … … … … … …
… … … …
… … … … I know a way to the passenger elevator, away from the Naytibas. Everything will be alright. Come on.
Holden… Take me with you. See? I can walk. I can’t walk very fast, but… … … … … … … … … … … … … Please. Don’t leave me. Holden! What are you doing? Holden!
We arrived at the place where the heat source was detected. Something is wriggling underneath the contamination. I’ll take some samples back with me. … … … …
… … … … … … … …
… … … …
Claire, how’s life at the Colony? Are you lacking anything? I’m curious if you’ve met Mother. … … … … … … … … … … … … The situation on Earth isn’t great. Headquarters is on the verge of annihilation. However, there is good news. We plan to start the orbit elevator tomorrow. It’s a gamble, but we’re willing to bet on it. I’ll see you soon.
Contamination didn’t start from the bottom. It came from the top. …… …… …… …… …… Traces of contamination have been reported in the High Orbit Station. Then that leaves the Central Core!
I’m reminded of a classic movie with a man-eating shark. That shark smelled blood and devoured humans. The same goes for the Naytibas. They find us with the smell. The Legion’s unique ozone smell.
Go! Hesitate and we’re all dead! There’s a passenger elevator just a bit farther on. I’ll try to buy as much time as possible… Get out of here and get to the Colony! Move it! Now!
I’m sorry, Kane. I want to rest now. Let me be. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … If you stay with me, you’ll miss the orbit elevator. You have to get to the Colony. You deserve this. Go, please!
… … … … … … … … … … … … Destructive, regenerative, and fast… Belial is different from the others. … … … … … … … … … … If you see a red Naytiba with two blades, run. Do not let it catch you. Ever.
… … … … … … … … … … … … … … What kind of place is the outside? It’s dark. Everything is dead except for those monsters. The secret city of survivors doesn’t exist. It’s all a fairy tale that adults made up to give hope to children like you.
Lucas, look up at the sky. There’s something falling! … … … … … … I wonder what that is! I didn’t hear the orbital explosion warnings go off… … … … … … … … … … …
Once, I fought to protect the things that are precious to me. But I have nothing precious left. Everyone, everything is dead. There’s nothing left to fight for. No reason to exist anymore.
Nobody believes my words. We are being deceived by a false prophet! … … … … … … … … … … … … … … The Cradle isn’t owned by humans, it’s owned by the Naytibas. They’re trying to turn us into Naytibas! … … … … … … You wait and see… … … … … Soon, regret and despair will conquer Xion.
All contact has been lost with other cities. Those bastards will eventually take over this place. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … It’s the end for Earth. The only way to survive is to run away to the Colony. If you want to stay and fight, do as you will. I’m going to the orbit elevator.
Go! Hurry! It’s too late for me. Head that way and you’ll get to Xion. You have to survive. Even if that means you’re the only one left alive. Goodbye.
It was different in the outside world, before the war. You had to pay for your crimes if you got caught. Down here underground… If you get caught, you die, even if you’re innocent. Those monsters don’t care. Never let them catch you.
An announcement from the Under Crew. We’ll be reducing the quarantine section as of midnight today. If you attempt to leave the section, please note that you will be purified without warning.
… … … … … … … … Don’t you worry, Jamie. Everything will be fine. I’ll free you from all your suffering. Once your soul leaves your body, it goes to Mother Sphere. Now, close your eyes. … … … … … … … …
To my dear son: My life will soon come to an end. Do not weep for me. When Mother Sphere’s presence touches the earth, our memories will be connected. Until then, I hope you do your part. It’s time to say goodbye, dear son. … … … … … … … … … …
…… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… We were abandoned. We’re all going to disappear. Everything will be lost. There’s no point in struggling. Face it. The only way out of fear and despair is death. …… …… …… …… ……
Don’t blame yourself. You don’t become a Scavenger overnight. Stamina, infiltration, survival, ecology, terrain, tactics, and much more… There’s a lot a Scavenger needs to know to survive out there.
Another unlucky day. I can’t find any resources of value. Scavengers prove themselves with the resources they salvage. I can’t return to Xion empty-handed, or… They might put me in the Cradle.
Harry didn’t betray us. He was just desperate after being pushed to the edge. He must be suffering, thinking about what he’s done. When he comes back, please forgive him. Please, I’m begging you.
… … … … … … I’ll have to camp out here tonight. Hopefully I’ll find some intact circuits or valuable machine parts tomorrow… … … … … … … If I find an Angel corpse, though, that’d be like winning the lottery… Heheh.
We can’t stop. There’s nothing for us here but death. We have to get to Xion before it gets light outside. … … … … … … … …
… … … …
Shit! The sun’s coming up! Run! Quickly!
It’s the law of nature that all wounds heal with time. Earth? Earth is no exception. If only those damn Naytibas would disappear, then Earth could heal. … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
A death fit for a Scavenger. I knew… I knew this day would come… I promised I’d quit being a Scavenger after this one final job. I guess I can’t keep that promise anymore.
Crops die in the winter. And come back to life when spring comes. Right now, Earth is in its winter. When this winter is over, spring will come. So don’t give up, and keep fighting. Live on to enjoy spring for my sake, too.
My leg… My muscles won’t listen to me. …… …… …… I can still go. I’m not far from Xion. …… …… …… Damn it! I can’t feel my legs… …… …… …… I don’t wanna die. I’m scared…
Don’t leave me! We have to stick together! When it gets light outside, someone will come to rescue us! … … … … … … … … … … … … … … It’s too dangerous to try to attract their attention. Don’t go…don’t go.
Blast! All because of that sandstorm… I can’t see anything. I need to take shelter in a building quickly, or… …… …… …… …… …… …… Damn it, N-Naytibas!!! No!!!
You’re still worried about dead people? You’re going to die if you keep at it. Just focus on the future, not the past. That’s how you survive. Get out of my sight now.
We were only able to survive thanks to Orcal. We were able to make it this far. The seeds that Orcal sowed will one day bear fruit. So please, Royal Guard… Protect him until your very last breath.
I saw it. I definitely saw it! An Angel! An Angel was fighting! There was a group of Naytibas surrounding her. It was amazing! In a second, she dealt with all of them! …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… Mother Sphere sent an Angel for us. Mother Sphere would never abandon us!
Get a grip, John! I’m doing this alone because I can make it! I’ll join you later. If I have a Naytiba on my tail, you just run as fast as you can. Got it? Say you got it!
I…only fought for myself. It wasn’t for my family or my fellow fighters. Always only for myself… I had a venom inside me, screaming to be let out. But that hatred…was all in vain.
I can’t get very far on this leg. But I’ll be able to get in those bastards’ way. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … There’s no time. You need to go! Let me do something good, just this once.
We were merely tools… Tools used to maintain the system called Xion… ….. …… …… ….. …… …… Sure. The system needs all of us… But tools always end up the same. They’ll throw you out in the end, just like me…
Shut up, you idiot! I said I don’t need Mother Sphere to just stand by and watch while I’m dying! …… …… …… …… …… Just stay by my side… I don’t want Mother Sphere, I want you. With you here… Death doesn’t scare me anymore.
When they attacked you… I was so happy that I could help. I thought I made a good choice becoming a Sentinel. But now I don’t think I can help anymore. I’m sorry…
If only I’d been stronger… If only I’d been braver back then… I’ve lived every day stewing in my regrets. And yet I…was able to protect you… Heh. Survive… You have to!
Someone needs to make it back alive. They need to let Xion know. It can’t be me, though. The monster is watching. The monster is coming. There are sparks. Lightning, crashing. We need someone to run away while we buy some time. Min is in charge of scouting. He’s fast. A difficult choice, made easily. Please remember us.
No need to fear death? Death is just the beginning of the journey to become one with Mother Sphere? Nonsense! It’s a load of bull! We were left to die on Earth! There is no “journey” after that! When we die, that’s that! End of story!
The Wasteland’s haven, where I’m free from the clunking noise of rattling scraps or roaring of Naytibas. I’ve been looking for a place like that all my life.
Vines, grapes, and a clear pond. I wish to see that place as I draw my last breath. I want to forget about the painful reality…
I’ve got a quick favor to ask for anyone accessing this data.
I’m Tommy and I run the C&T Trading Company at Xion. I will be giving all my rights to the company to my colleague, Cyrus. Please tell him that I wish him all the best.
There’s a personal safe at the C&T Trading Company store at the Scraps Market. The passcode to the safe is θθθθθθ.
The contents of that safe are my reward to the one who can deliver my final words.
We must find the Chapters of Trial. They bear the holy scriptures that lead us to salvation…
To do our Mother’s bidding, for our brothers and sisters who died without fulfilling their purpose, we must find the Chapters of Trial.
We must find it. We must find the scripture of prophecy and follow it. We must find it, we must find it, we must find it we must find it, we must find it…
The mission seemed to be going smoothly. But it appeared from within the sandstorm. The monster with a saw on its head… I can still see my comrades getting ripped to shreds.
I hear the song. I hear the singing. It’s right beside me. It’s coming from beyond this wall. It’s such a sad song. Is it asking for help, or consoling me? I hear the song. I hear the singing. It’s right beside me. It’s coming from beyond this wall.
We picked out who’ll be heading to @@____ion. We have to buy some tim%%%##%__** &****&&&& afraid to say goodbye. My beloved Maya at Xion. My allies, Ko, Mo, Ro, Su, Mann, our leader Sentinel, and the Prophet… May the mother look after your path…
