Episode 1 Chapter 10 Colony (script)

Clyez City Fifth Floor: GUARDIANS Headquarters

(Reporter)

• Reporter: My Endrum Collective article didn't get published. My editor said it was for my own safety. Since when did safety equal censorship!? I'm so upset!

(Again)

• Reporter: I'm so upset! That article would have made a big difference!

(Human Male)

• Human Male: It looks like they've found that confinement system on Moatoob. That just leaves Neudaiz... The fate of the Gurhal System hangs in the balance. We've got to find that last tower no matter what!

(Again)

• Human Male: Something the ancient civilization left behind... Have we really been left no better choice than to rely on those ancient things?

(Fisul Godes)

• Ethan: Hello, sir!
• Mr. Godes: Hey, Waber! You know, it's always really good to see you.
• Ethan: ...Thank you!
• Mr. Godes: You're always so cheerful, Ethan. Keep it up.
• Ethan: Thanks. I'll try!

(Again)

• Mr. Godes: I ought to model myself after you and cheer up myself. At least, so says my daughter...
• Ethan: Kumil?

Clyez City Fourth Floor: PPT Spaceport

(Jabutz Secbel)

• Ethan: Hello, Mr. Chief Manager of Operations!
• Jabutz: Oh, Ethan Waber... I got a question for you. Have you heard about a recent shuttle accident on Moatoob, where a Guardian was killed on duty?
• Ethan: ...No. Is that true?
• Jabutz: ...No, forget about it!

(Again)

• Ethan: Mr. Operational Manager, about the shuttle accident...
• Jabutz: Forget I said anything! But don't mess it up! It's "Chief Manager of Operations!"

(Beast Male)

• Beast Male: Huge towers at the RELICS... Before the SEED showed up, I'd been to plenty of RELICS sites, but never saw anything like that! I bet it's even more impressive from up close!

(Again)

• Beast Male: But what could those towers be used for?

(Porsh Tuvol)

• Ethan: Hey, Porsh!
• Porsh: Hi, Ethan.
• Ethan: So about Mayton Pord...
• Porsh: You know, I really don't want to talk about Mayton Pord.
• Ethan: How come?
• Porsh: It's something... that's in the past now.

(Again)

• Ethan: C'mon Porsh. This is important! Mayton has a little boy. That kid really believes that Mayton is coming home. He's waiting for him!
• Porsh: I'm sorry...

(Keiko Rotta)

• Keiko: You're a Guardian, right? I have a question for you.
• Ethan: Yes, what is it?
• Keiko: How are things really looking? I mean, do you think you can save us or not?
• Ethan: Of course we can! It is our duty to defend the Gurhal System at all costs!
• Keiko: I see... Thank you, that's very encouraging.

(Again)

• Keiko: I appreciate your upbeat attitude.
• Ethan: Thank you!

Clyez City Third Floor: Shopping Mall B

(Mischec Pord)

• Ethan: Hey, Mischec. How's it going?
• Mischec: Great!
• Ethan: You know, if you ever need to talk about anything, let me know. I'll be all ears!
• Mischec: Where did that come from all of a sudden?

(Again)

• Ethan: (He reminds me of myself when I was his age...)
• Mischec: What is it, Ethan?
• Ethan: No, it's nothing.
• Mischec: You're weird.

(A-Photon Fanatic)

• A-Photon Fanatic: They say that tower on Moatoob is a huge nano transformer! Those A-Photons are really something! But I guess they're also the reason we're having so many problems with the SEED. But the confinement system also uses A-Photons... It's sort of ironic.

(Again)

• A-Photon Fanatic: Because the tower wasn't discovered until now, I bet that means it was under some kind of nano transformation!

(Photon Fanatic)

• Photon Fanatic: Divinations seem to be a huge burden on the Divine Maiden. Plus, because of the SEED, the photons in the Gurhal System are all out of whack! I'll bet that has a huge impact on the Maiden's divinations!

(Again)

• Photon Fanatic: With the SEED around, I think it's safer to assume divinations are unreliable at best.

(Astronomer)

• Astronomer: In this short time, with the data we've collected, we feel confident to conclude that the appearance of the SEED in the system of Gurhal is perfectly synchronized with the overwhelming increase in sunspot activity. However, we are still unsure as to why this is. I've petitioned for some equipment that will let me get closer to the sun, to observe... What with the state of the bureaucracy, though, I doubt they'll let me have what I want.

(Again)

• Astronomer: I doubt I'll be able to acquire an observational probe, for example...

(Endy Fodz)

• Ethan: Hey, Endy.
• Endy: Hey! Ethan!
• Ethan: What's up? You sure are in a good mood.
• Endy: I've got a date... with a girl I helped out during a mission!
• Ethan: I guess it's the little things...

(Again)

• Endy: I guess GUARDIANS get a lot of gratitude from people!
• Ethan: Yeah...

Clyez City Second Floor: Shopping Mall A

(Kumil Godes)

• Kumil: Hey, Ethan! Does everyone in the GUARDIANS die on duty?
• Ethan: no, of course not!
• Kumil: My friend's dad, he died while he was working...
• Ethan: I see...
• Kumil: Dad's pretty upset, too.
• Ethan: Well, it happens sometimes...

(Again)

• Kumil: I want to join the GUARDIANS too but... I hate being scared!
• Ethan: Everyone hates being scared. That's why we fight.
• Kumil: I don't get it.

(Engineer)

• Engineer: Within the RELICS, there are soldier machines called Stateria. They are battle machines from the ancient civilization. There's no end to my interest in how they work and what they are capable of!

(Again)

• Engineer: Stateria... I wonder if there's someplace I can research them?

(Mikua Tesran)

• Mikua: *sigh*
• Ethan: What's wrong Mikua? You look like it's the end of the world.
• Mikua: Leave me alone. And yes, it probably IS the end of the world, as you put it.
• Ethan: As long as the GUARDIANS are here, the world isn't going to end any time soon!

(Again)

• Ethan: So what? We're not friends any more?
• Mikua: I said leave me alone!

(Human Girl)

• Human Girl: I do hope that those towers will help us bring peace to the Gurhal System! Then we'll be able to go back to normal shopping again, right?

(Again)

• Human Girl: Hurry up and use those towers! ...I can't take it anymore!

(Fat Man)

• Fat Man: They found a tower on Moatoob like the one in Mellvore? How many of them could there be?

(Again)

• Fat Man: When the SEED are gone, I want to see those towers up close!

(Nano Transformer Fan)

• Nano Transformer Fan: You say the towers are big nano transformers left behind by the ancient civilization? Even with current technology, we can only make nano transformers that create small pockets of distorted space. To think, a nano transformer that enormous...! The ancient civilization really did make astounding scientific progress, didn't it?

(Again)

• Nano Transformer Fan: It doesn't have to be one of those huge things... I just really want a nano transformer from the ancient civilization!

(Mefon Lead)

• Ethan: Hello, Mrs. Lead.
• Mrs. Lead: Oh Ethan... Are you losing weight?
• Ethan: Huh? Am I?
• Mrs. Lead: Don't they feed you well? These days, it's nothing but gloomy news, day after day. You need to take a break every once in a while.
• Ethan: I'll... try to eat something.

(Again)

• Mrs. Lead: You're getting too thin! You need to eat more!
• Ethan: I'll snack on something...

Clyez City First Floor: Central Table

(Arsh Milzu)

• Ethan: Hello, Mrs. Milzu!
• Mrs. Milzu: Oh, Ethan... I just got back from Neudaiz. You know Sinenu Forin, don't you?
• Ethan: !!
• Mrs. Milzu: Sinenu says hello.
• Ethan: ...Thanks.

(Again)

• Ethan (thinking): Mrs. Milzu wouldn't know about Sinenu and her husband, would she?
• Mrs. Milzu: Ethan? What's wrong?
• Ethan: No, it's nothing...

(Old Man)

• Old Man: Why are people so scared of dying by the SEED?
• Ethan: Nobody wants to die, old man.
• Old Man: Yeah, but they've all got to go sometime!
• Ethan: ...

(Again)

• Ethan: Old man! Look out! The SEED!
• Old Man: ...
• Ethan: You really don't care, do you?
• Old Man: If you want to test me you're gonna have to do better than that!

(Male Beast)

• Male Beast: They found another one of those towers, this time on Moatoob. You know, the SEED probably... ...Nah, forget it!

(Again)

• Male Beast: Nothing... Forget I said anything!

(Gapard Raz)

• Gapard: Hey, Ethan! Guess what? I submitted my application for training school!
• Ethan: Oh yeah? Right on!
• Gapard: My mom's still not happy about it, but she seemed a lot more understanding when I told her I want to do something more with my life, something important.
• Ethan: Yeah but you've still got to make it through training school...
• Gapard: Hey, what are you trying to say? I'll make it!

(Again)

• Ethan: You finally worked up the nerve, so don't blow it on the tests!
• Gapard: Don't worry, I'm no dummy!

(Newman Male)

• Newman Male: I heard that a huge RELICS tower was found in the deserts of Moatoob.

(Again)

• Newman Male: I looks just like the tower on Parum, but what could it be for?

(Human Male)

• Human Male: Just like on Parum, it looks like they've found a tower-like RELICS site on Moatoob! I guess those towers are supposed to repel the SEED. I don't really understand how that would work, though.

(Again)

• Human Male: How exactly are those towers supposed to repel the SEED?
