Zegapain > 19.Last Supper

Lu-Shen: We'll start with your assortment of seasonal vegetables and the escargot-style littleneck clams in garlic butter sauce.
Lu-Shen: After that, some of your homestyle meat pie, please.
Lu-Shen: We'll have penne with gorgonzola for our pasta, and for the main course,
Lu-Shen: Iberico pork roast.
Lu-Shen: Will that suffice?
Shizuno: Sounds good.
May-Yu: Will you be wanting drinks?
Lu-Shen: No. Thanks.
May-Yu: As you wish, sir.
Shizuno: I never knew Maihama had a restaurant as fancy as this.
Lu-Shen: Shizuno.
Lu-Shen: You know why the two of us are sitting at this table.
Lu-Shen: So do I.
Lu-Shen: But there are other things I don't know yet.
Lu-Shen: Perhaps, by the end of our meal, I will.
Shizuno: I wonder if these blue roses are fake.
Shizuno: Though I suppose our real flowers aren't any less artificial.
Lu-Shen: Where did you go this morning?
Shizuno: Questions already?
Shizuno: Can't we at least enjoy a tasty meal before the gloves come off?
Lu-Shen: The flavor of our meal is entirely up to you.
Shizuno: This morning?
Shizuno: Transfer data to quantum server control block.
Shizuno: I don't remember.
Lu-Shen: Don't patronize me.
Lu-Shen: It was this morning!
Shizuno: Ah...
Shizuno: Well, if you must know, I was with Kyo.
Kawaguchi: Pretty pathetic, ain't he, guys?
Ushio: Yeah. He's pathetic.
Kyo: What do you want?
Kawaguchi: Shut up, loser!
Kawaguchi: Looks like you have an empty pool
Kawaguchi: and a club that's only real in your head.
Kawaguchi: You asshole!
Kyo: Hey!
Kawaguchi: What?!
Kyo: What would you do?
Kyo: What would you do if one morning you woke up and you were real?
Kawaguchi: Huh?
Kyo: Just think about it.
Kyo: How awesome is it gonna feel to get out of here and be real people?
Kawaguchi: What the hell're you babbling about? We are real.
Hayase: You got water on the brain. What are we now? Cats and dogs?
Ushio: Or maybe he thinks we're ghosts.
Kyo: The world is nothing but ruins out there,
Kyo: but I think the three of you will be able to be tough it out!
Kawaguchi: I'm getting sick and tired of your shit!
Kawaguchi: That dude's a freak.
Kyo: I don't even know how long it's gonna take,
Kyo: but until the day we can be real,
Kyo: we'll defend this place.
Kyo: Me and you.
Kyo: Right, Kaminagi?
Shizuno: Kyo's feeling very optimistic at the moment.
: He believes the time will come
Shizuno: when he'll be able to pick a real flower.
Lu-Shen: Please don't try to change the subject.
May-Yu: Your escargot-style littleneck clams in garlic butter sauce, sir.
May-Yu: You'll find that soaking up the remaining sauce with your bread is very tasty.
Shizuno: Thank you.
May-Yu: At 10:17 local time,
May-Yu: the location of the Maihama server was transmitted via the satellite network
May-Yu: as unencrypted data anyone could access.
May-Yu: We don't know who sent it.
May-Yu: Or who received it.
Lu-Shen: May-yu picked up the signal by chance while she was doing maintenance on the Garuda.
May-Yu: It's been reported that other ships picked up the signal as well.
Lu-Shen: I wonder who sent that message.
Shizuno: Who knows?
Kuroshio: We should probably accept that we've been found out.
Kyo: They're going after the Maihama server?
Chris: Hell, I'm surprised it took this long to do it.
Chris: Think about it.
Chris: The Maihama server's been cranking out new Cerebrants left, right, and center lately.
Chris: Sure does look like the Gardsorm finally put two and two together.
Kyo: Let's go then, come on.
Kyo: Hey, where are Lu-shen and Shizuno?
Kyo: And where are May-yu and May-yen?!
Dita: They're all currently off-line.
Dita: We cannot contact them.
Kyo: They've gone missing?!
Minato: Oh, Commander Shima!
Lemures: You've been briefed on the situation.
Lemures: Sir, what are your orders?
Shima: Maintain current heading.
Minato: Ah!
Kyo: Are you nuts?
Kyo: The Gardsorm are gunning for our city!
Ricerca: Oh!
Shima: What is it?
Ricerca: I'm picking up the Gardsorm quantum weaponry signature!
Ricerca: They're approaching Maihama and closing fast.
Abyss: These ruins.
Abyss: All relics of the dead past.
Sin: Yes.
Sin: They no longer serve a purpose.
Abyss: At last,
Abyss: one of our battles will end.
Sin: That's right,
Sin: Abyss.
Kyo: Here they come!
Kyo: I gotta get there.
Shima: Then do as you will.
Kyo: Why are you just sitting there?
Kyo: Maihama server's in danger.
Kaminagi: Hurry, Kyo!
Kyo: Right.
Kaminagi: Let's go!
Dita: Gunner and Wizard I.D.s, locked in.
Dita: Stand by for meta-body transmission!
Fosetta: Chamber seals, released.
Fosetta: Q.L. Driver, conjunction.
Ricerca: Restoration coordinates,
Ricerca: set and locked!
Kyo: Entangle!
Lu-Shen: The Altair has just engaged the Coatlicue.
Lu-Shen: Who might have sent out that unencrypted transmission?
Lu-Shen: The signs point to one of two people.
Lu-Shen: Commander Shima himself,
Lu-Shen: or my esteemed dinner partner.
Shizuno: How do you figure that?
Lu-Shen: We looked the activity log for the Oceanus's crew.
Lu-Shen: There were traces that some of the data had been deleted.
Shizuno: Well.
Lu-Shen: You entered the Maihama server this very morning,
Lu-Shen: didn't you?
Shizuno: Well, you've done your homework.
Shizuno: But
Shizuno: why would I betray its location?
Lu-Shen: You tell me.
Shizuno: How about I tell you neither of us did it,
Shizuno: and we can end this dinner right now.
Shizuno: Kyo is waiting.
Shizuno: If you'll excuse me.
Lu-Shen: Leaving so soon?
Lu-Shen: The main course is on its way.
Lu-Shen: I took the liberty of locking down your cereb-icon.
Lu-Shen: It's doubtful the Maihama server will prove an easy target to destroy.
Lu-Shen: I believe it was constructed to withstand even the force of a nuclear attack.
Lu-Shen: Even the Anti-Zega may find it difficult to get in.
Shizuno: You're probably right.
Lu-Shen: And
Lu-Shen: so long as the data of the individual who passed the server's location to the enemy is still held inside of it...
Shizuno: Then chances are, they won't destroy it.
Kaminagi: They got passed us, Kyo!
: Where the hell's Lu-shen?!
Kyo: Then where's Shizuno?!
Kaminagi: We're alone.
Kaminagi: No one from the Oceanus is coming.
Kyo: They wrote off the Maihama server just like that?
Kyo: Come on!
Sin: I found it!
Abyss: There.
Abyss: The lightless ones' hive.
Kyo: Oh, no, you don't!
Kuroshio: The Coatlicue is closing on the server!
Chris: Commander, I'm going out!
Minato: No! Even you have no chance out there without a Wizard!
Shima: Stand down, Chris.
Chris: But, sir!
Minato: If he orders us to wait then we wait.
Minato: I'm sure the commander knows what he is doing.
Minato: He must...
Kyo: What happened?
Kaminagi: They've broken inside.
Kyo: Damn them!
Kyo: Maihama is our home.
Kyo: No way.
Kyo: I won't let them destroy it!
Lu-Shen: Maihama is safe.
Lu-Shen: Period.
Shizuno: What if you're wrong?
Shizuno: Have you considered that?
Shizuno: The city will vanish.
Shizuno: Everything.
Shizuno: Gone.
Shizuno: And you along with it.
Lu-Shen: I guess we'll know soon enough.
Kyo: Nothing down there.
Kyo: How far'd those bastards go?!
Kaminagi: If they found the main machine tunnels,
Kaminagi: they could take those all the way down to the bottom.
Kyo: Damn it.
Kaminagi: Well, Kyo,
Kaminagi: I think we have to fight this one alone.
Kyo: That's fine by me.
Kyo: We're the only ones who care about defending the Mihama server.
Kyo: Me and you, Ryoko.
Kaminagi: Mm.
Kyo: Some day...
Kyo: Some day, we'll all be real people again and we'll live on the Earth like we should!
Kyo: And we're gonna rebuild Maihama just like it used to be.
Kyo: So we gotta protect it!
Kaminagi: Mm.
Kyo: All right.
Kaminagi: Mm.
Kyo: Let's do this!
Lu-Shen: The enemy is nearing the server.
Shizuno: We're in trouble, aren't we?
Shizuno: Any minute now.
Shizuno: I really do want to contact Kyo.
Shizuno: Please let me leave.
Lu-Shen: You still think of the seat behind Kyo and the Zega as being yours, don't you?
Shizuno: Huh?
Lu-Shen: I know you and he used to have a relationship.
Shizuno: I'm in love with him,
Shizuno: even now.
Lu-Shen: So, what?
Lu-Shen: You're jealous?
Lu-Shen: You're hardly the type to destroy us all out of envy.
Shizuno: I have my share of emotions, but I'm not that much of a fool.
Shizuno: I love Kyo, because he's the one who saved me.
Lu-Shen: Fair enough.
Shizuno: Ah.
Lu-Shen: Then what are you hoping to achieve?
Lu-Shen: You need to put an end to all this deception.
Lu-Shen: Kyo's already had more than enough pain in his life.
Lu-Shen: Think how awful it would be for him to learn about your part in this betrayal.
Shizuno: Huh.
Shizuno: Isn't it about time they brought up the main course?
Chris: What's that?
Dita: It's a live feed from the Maihama server room.
Minato: The quantum computer is programed to do this if there's ever an intruder!
Shima: Checkmate.
Minato: Oh?
Chris: What?
Abyss: And here is the nest
Abyss: where are all the infernal eggs are laid.
Sin: And they hatch into more of them.
Abyss: I think it's time we gave the tree a shake.
Shima: What's wrong?
Shima: Touch it already.
Abyss: Hold on.
Abyss: This shouldn't be so easy.
Kyo: Just in time.
Kaminagi: The server isn't damaged yet.
Shima: Well done, Kyo Sogoru.
Kyo: Huh?
Shima: That's enough.
Shima: Stop fighting. Let's them do it.
Kyo: What are you saying?!
Shima: If the Anti-Zega touches the server, we can extract all of their spec data.
Shima: The whole thing is a trap.
Kyo: Say what?
Kaminagi: Oh.
Kaminagi: This quantum computer has way more processing power than the Oceanus.
Kaminagi: They can use it to leech all the information off of the Anti-Zega.
Kyo: That's impossible...
Kyo: You can't...
Kyo: And for that, you'd destroy Maihama?
Kyo: You'd sacrifice Tomigai and Kawaguchi and everyone else?!
Minato: Ah!
Chris: Huh?
Shima: What better bait for our enemy than the server that's bedeviled them so much as of late?
Kyo: You bastard!
Lu-Shen: You mean to tell me that the location of the Maihama server was leaked
Lu-Shen: to the Gardsorm to lure the Anti-Zega into a trap?
Shizuno: Exactly.
Lu-Shen: So then the Altair...
Lu-Shen: Kyo's going out to intercept them was...
Shizuno: To complete the facade.
Lu-Shen: Even if it was necessary to keep the rest of us in the dark about this,
Lu-Shen: what would give the Gardsorm so much faith in the information you leaked to them?
Shizuno: Who knows?
Lu-Shen: Um...
Lu-Shen: They wouldn't.
Lu-Shen: Unless Shima and you have some sort of connection to the Gardsorm.
Shizuno: So you must...
Shima: Listen to me!
Shima: Direct contact with the server acts as a switch.
Shima: Once activated, the quantum computer will begin scanning the Coatlicue!
Shima: Push him into the server.
Shima: Now!
Kyo: No way.
Kyo: I said I won't do it.
Shima: I'm not asking you!
Kaminagi: Kyo, we...
Kyo: I know.
Kyo: But how?
Kyo: If the server is destroyed,
Kyo: Maihama's gone!
Kyo: Everyone in it will disappear!
Shima: Kyo! Don't you dare waste this chance!
Kaminagi: Kyo, we can do it.
Kaminagi: With this Zega...
Kaminagi: Yeah, the Altair's fist...
Kaminagi: If I reconfigure the quantum computer transceiver we have in there,
Kaminagi: we can pull the data through your hand.
Kaminagi: We can save the server!
Kyo: Ah?
Kyo: Using this?!
Kaminagi: Quickly! Before they figure it out!
A.I.: Right arm has converted to transceiver functionality.
Kaminagi: Do it.
Kyo: Running away?!
Kyo: Dammit!
Kaminagi: Just stay calm.
Kaminagi: I know you can do this, Kyo!
Kyo: Right!
Abyss: It's over, lightless ones!
Sin: Time for you to return to nothingness!
Kaminagi: Oh, Kyo, push it in deeper!
Kuroshio: (Whistles)
Kuroshio: We've breached the enemy's firewall, Commander!
Abyss: What are they doing?
Sin: Abyss!
Lemures: You son of a!
Kyo: Ah!
Dita: Ah!
Shima: What's wrong?!
Dita: The cable that the Anti-Zega is holding is connected to the Maihama server's lowest-level quantum conversion reactor!
Shima: Ah!
Dita: If he interferes with the current,
Dita: the Maihama server will be destroyed!
A.I.: Warning.
A.I.: Evacuation advisory.
A.I.: Warning.
A.I.: Evacuation advisory.
Kyo: What the hell?
Kyo: He's trying to self-destruct?!
Shima: Get out of there!
Shima: Now!
Kyo: Are you kidding me?!
Shima: There's no time!
Shima: You can't save the server! Transmit out of there!
Kaminagi: Kyo!
A.I.: Warning.
Kaminagi: I don't want to die!
A.I.: Evacuation advisory.
Kyo: Neither do I.
A.I.: Warning.
Kyo: But...
A.I.: Evacuation advisory.
Kyo: I swore that I will protect them all!
A.I.: Warning.
A.I.: Evacuation advisory.
Kyo: And we're all going to be human again!
Shima: Force transmission of the Altair!
May-Yen: Ahhh!
May-Yen: Ah?
Lu-Shen: What happened?!
Kyo: Maihama, no!
Kaminagi: Oh, Kyo!
Kyo: Wahhhh!
Lu-Shen: The Maihama server was destroyed.
Lu-Shen: It's gone.
Lu-Shen: And yet...
Shizuno: We didn't disappear.
Lu-Shen: What's the meaning of this?!
Shizuno: I think I'll have dessert.
Shizuno: Oh?
Kyo: Am I dreaming or something?!
Kyo: Everyone is just fine!
Kyo: What the hell's going on around here?
Kyo: You know why, don't you, Shizuno?!
Shizuno: I do.
Shizuno: Only Commander Shima and I know the terrible secret about the Maihama server.
Shizuno: You mean?
Shizuno: Yes.
Kyo: We exist in what is paradoxically the safest and the most dangerous place possible.
Kyo: Next time, on Zegapain:
Kyo: Yehl, Shizuno
Shizuno: My pain, never to be forgotten.
