Chapter 02

(Mikaris Geid)

• Mikaris: Hey, you're with the GUARDIANS, aren't you?
• Ethan: Yes. My name is Ethan Waber.
• Mikaris: I'm Mikaris Geid, of the Alliance Military.

(Again)

• Ethan: You'll talk to me even though I'm human?
• Mikaris: It may be undeniable that CASTs are a superior race, but that doesn't excuse bad behavior now, does it?
• Ethan: I guess not...

(Again)

• Ethan: Ms. Geid...
• Mikaris: Call me Mikaris. Let's talk again later!

(Stank Geese)

• Ethan: Oh! You're an Alliance Military officer? Excuse me, I thought you were someone else!
• Stank: What are you scared of? I'm not going to hurt you.
• Ethan: No, it's not that.
• Stank: My name is Stank Geece, Commander of the 65th Squadron.
• Ethan: I'm Ethan Waber, of the GUARDAINS.

(Again)

• Ethan: I didn't know there were CASTs like you around.
• Stank: You mean ones that will carry on a normal conversation with humans?
• Ethan: Yeah, maybe.
• Stank: I have no ill will towards humans. I know many capable humans, in fact.

(Again)

• Stank: Are you thinking about joining up?
• Ethan: No, I'm pretty devoted to the GUARDIANS.

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Prafo: Hey, you're a Guardian, aren't ya?
• Ethan: Yeah.
• Prafo: When you get big, are you gonna become a CAST in the Alliance Military, too?
• Ethan: No... that's impossible. hey kid, what's your name?
• Prafo: Prafo Kaluen. My dad's a commander in the Alliance Military!
• Ethan: (There are human officers in the Alliance Military?)
• Prafo: What's wrong?
• Ethan: Nothing...

(Again)

• Prafo: When I get big, I'm gonna be a CAST in the Alliance Military!

Chapter 03

(Mikaris Geid)

• Ethan: Hi, Mikaris.
• Mikaris: Oh hello, Ethan. I see you're back! So have you adjusted to life on Parum yet?
• Ethan: No, not yet.
• Mikaris: You're here for a mission, aren't you? Good luck with that!
• Ethan: Thank you.

(Again)

• Ethan: Mikaris... Um...
• Mikaris: What's wrong? You look so serious.
• Ethan: The CAST supremacists have kind of got me down.
• Mikaris: I guess I can understand that.

(Stank Geece)

• Ethan: Hello there, Commander Geece.
• Geece: Hi Ethan.
• Ethan: Commander, do you know Captain Curtz?
• Geece: Yes, but I haven't seen him much recently. Why do you ask?
• Ethan: It's just... he's kind of...

(Again)

• Geece: Captain Curtz is a firm supporter of the CAST supremacy. It would be best for you to be careful around him.
• Ethan: Yes, I see... Thanks for the warning.

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo!
• Prafo: Hey, it's the Guardian!
• Ethan: That's right, I never told you my name. I'm Ethan Waber. Pleased to meet you!
• Prafo: Nice to meet ya, Ethan!

(Again)

• Prafo: When you grow up, let's become CASTs in the Alliance Military together!
• Ethan: (What is this kid talking about?)

Chapter 04

(Mikaris Geid)

• Ethan: Hi, Mikaris.
• Mikaris: Oh Ethan, are you working again today?
• Ethan: Yeah, I am.
• Mikaris: Aw, that's too bad! I was going to ask you out on a date.
• Ethan: ...Me?!

(Again)

• Ethan: Mikaris... Um...
• Mikaris: Hehe! Next time you're free...?

(Stank Geese)

• Ethan: Hello, Commander Geese.
• Stank: Hi, Ethan.
• Ethan: Commander, do you know anything about the Endrum Collective?
• Stank: They're a special unit, so I don't know a lot of specifics about them.
• Ethan: Okay, thanks anyway.

(Again)

• Stank: The Endrum Collective is quite a radical group. It would be prudent for you to be careful around them.
• Ethan: Thanks for the tip!

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo!
• Prafo: Hey, Ethan! I was talking with my dad about you and it turns out you know each other!
• Ethan: What!? ...I wonder who it could be...?

(Again)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo.
• Prafo: What is it?
• Ethan: Uh... it's nothing...

Chapter 05

(Mikaris Geid)

• Ethan: Mikaris...
• Mikaris: Oh Ethan! You came all this way to see me?
• Ethan: Er, not exactly...
• Mikaris: Oh, that's too bad...

(Again)

• Mikaris: A little white lie wouldn't hurt, you know! Next time, I'd advise you to say that you're here to see me. Even if it's not 100% true.
• Ethan: All right, if that would make you feel better...

(Stank Geece)

• Ethan: Hello, Commander Geece.
• Stank: Hello, Ethan. You're pretty unusual, aren't you?
• Ethan: Why do you say that?
• Stank: You don't see many humans trying to strike up conversations with CAST officers.
• Ethan: Really?

(Again)

• Stank: Don't get me wrong. I'm not criticizing you!
• Ethan: All right...

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo.
• Prafo: Ethan! Hey, how come you don't join the Alliance Military?
• Ethan: I'll always be a Guardian, Prafo...
• Prafo: I'll ask my dad if we can become Alliance Military CASTs together!
• Ethan: (What is up with this kid?)

(Again)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo...
• Prafo: What?
• Ethan: ...No, it's nothing.

Chapter 06

(Mikaris Geid)

• Ethan: Mikaris...
• Mikaris: Oh hello, Ethan! So I've decided that you're going to date me... whether you want to or not!
• Ethan: Er... uh... I'm sorry... but I don't think so!
• Mikaris: Well, I guess I can't force it, after all!

(Again)

• Mikaris: Is it because I'm an older CAST? That's discrimination, you know! Not unlike those CAST supremacists you hate so much.
• Ethan: That's not it...

(Stank Geece)

• Ethan: Hello, Commander Geece.
• Stank: Hi Ethan! It looks like you really fancy Parum!
• Ethan: No, not exactly...
• Stank: This planet and most of the CAST on it are in dire need of change. Your presence here is quite valuable.
• Ethan: Really?

(Again)

• Stank: I'd imagine it's been pretty difficult for you up 'til now, but try to bear with it. With help from people like you, things should get better in time!
• Ethan: All right..

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo!
• Prafo: Oh Ethan! I'm gonna join the Alliance Military instead of the GUARDIANS after all!
• Ethan: I see... Well, good luck with that! (You'll need it just to be let in.)

(Again)

• Prafo: Don't give up hope, Ethan! You'll make it into the Alliance Military someday!
• Ethan: (I never even wanted to join the Alliance Military!)

Chapter 07

(Mikaris Geid)

• Ethan: Mikaris...
• Mikaris: Oh hi, Ethan. What's the matter?
• Ethan: A Guardian friend of mine is missing...
• Mikaris: Your girlfriend?
• Ethan: No, she's not...
• Mikaris: You don't have to hide it from me...

(Again)

• Mikaris: So can I take your missing girlfriend's place?
• Ethan: I'm not looking for a girlfriend, Mikaris!
• Mikaris: Oh, that's too bad. Couldn't hurt to ask though, could it?

(Stank Geece)

• Ethan: Hello, Commander Geece.
• Stank: Hey, Ethan. Are you looking for the Endrum Collective or something?
• Ethan: No, nothing like that...
• Stank: That's good.

(Again)

• Stank: Don't get caught up with the Endrum Collective. Even within the Alliance Military, these are implicit orders!
• Ethan: I see.

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Prafo: Ethan, where are you going in such a rush?
• Ethan: ...Nowhere.
• Prafo: Really?
• Ethan: ...Yeah.

(Again)

• Prafo: Ethan, when I grow up, join the Alliance Military with me!
• Ethan: (There he goes again!)

Chapter 08

(Mikaris Geid)

• Mikaris: Oh, Ethan. You came at a good time! There's something I want to talk to you about.
• Ethan: What's that?
• Mikaris: I feel weird talking about it here, but... I want a baby!
• Ethan: Er... Can I change the subject now?
• Mikaris: Why, what's wrong?

(Again)

• Ethan: You've got a twisted sense of humor, Mikaris.
• Mikaris: What's twisted? I'm completely serious!

(Stank Geece)

• Ethan: Hello, Commander Geece.
• Stank: Hey, Ethan.
• Ethan: Commander, do you know a boy named Prafo?
• Stank: ...Have you met him?
• Ethan: Yeah...
• Stank: I adopted him. I took him into my care after his human father sacrificed himself to save me.
• Ethan: Oh, I see...

(Again)

• Stank: I didn't intend to cover it up, but if it comes out, it could be unfavorable... Please keep this information to yourself.
• Ethan: I understand.

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo!
• Prafo: Ah, Ethan! Ethan, when are you gonna become a CAST?
• Ethan: Sorry, but... humans are humans for life!
• Prafo: What!? How come?
• Ethan: Because... that's the way it works.
• Prafo: That's a weird thing to say.

(Again)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo...
• Prafo: What?
• Ethan: ...No, never mind.

Chapter 09

(Mikaris Geid)

• Mikaris: Oh, Ethan! Please listen to what I have to say. I'm being serious!
• Ethan: Mikaris... No matter how much you want a baby, it's impossible for a CAST and a human...
• Mikaris: You fool. I know that much! I'm not saying I want to HAVE a baby. I just to raise one!
• Ethan: A human child?
• Mikaris: CAST children don't grow up. I really want to raise a human child! Do you have any ideas on how I might go about that?
• Ethan: Well... Let me think about this.

(Again)

• Ethan: Give me some time to think about it.
• Mikaris: All right. I'm counting on you!

(Stank Geece)

• Ethan: Hello, Commander Geece.
• Stank: Hey, Ethan.
• Ethan: ...I wish all Alliance Military personnel were like you, Commander.
• Stank: Ah, that's very generous. But I think you give me too much credit!
• Ethan: No, I think I'm pretty right-on!
• Stank: I'm getting weaker, Ethan. I get sad when I think that Prafo will probably grow old and die before me.
• Ethan: That's not weakness, it's kindness, sir.

(Again)

• Ethan: If there's anything I can do to help, let me know!
• Stank: Thanks, Ethan. I might take you up on that one day.

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo!
• Prafo: Hi Ethan. ...Say, how are the Alliance Military and the GUARDIANS different?
• Ethan: Uh... that's kind of hard to explain. But when it comes to their desire to protect the Gurhal System... They're pretty much the same.
• Prafo: Okay...

(Again)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo!
• Prafo: What?
• Ethan: CASTs and humans have got to start getting along better, don't you think?
• Prafo: I get along fine with everyone!

Chapter 10

(Mikaris Geid)

• Ethan: Mikaris...
• Mikaris: Hey, Ethan. Do you have any ideas? You know... about my dilemma?
• Ethan: Do you know Commander Geece?
• Mikaris: He's in another unit, but yes, I know of him.
• Ethan: I thought it might be nice if you could help him raise his son.
• Mikaris: No way! That stubborn fool is actually raising a kid?
• Ethan: A human boy, in fact.
• Mikaris: Is he still a baby? I'd like to raise a baby...

(Again)

• Ethan: So, what do you think, Mikaris?
• Mikaris: ...Now you'll have to give me some time to think.

(Stank Geece)

• Stank: I'd better tighten up the ranks before we get shown up by you guys!
• Ethan: Hehe. Well, we'll see.

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo!
• Prafo: ...
• Ethan: Prafo?
• Prafo: ...
• Ethan: (I wonder what happened?)

(Again)

• Ethan: (I'd better leave him be for now...)

Chapter 11

(Mikaris Geid)

• Ethan: Mikaris, have you made a decision?
• Mikaris: Oh Ethan... I guess your idea was a pretty good one. But it's really up to Geece and his son. Whether they'll take me in or not...
• Ethan: Do you want me to go see if I can find out?
• Mikaris: ...Could you?
• Ethan: ...I'll try.

(Again)

• Mikaris: I really wish it were a baby, though.
• Ethan: Maybe that can be the next step...

(Stank Geece)

• Stank: I'd better tighten up the ranks before we get shown up by you guys!
• Ethan: Hehe. Well, we'll see.

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo!
• Prafo: ...
• Ethan: Prafo?
• Prafo: Do you have a mom and dad?
• Ethan: They both died... I wish I had a dad like yours, Prafo.
• Prafo: Oh... But I want a mom, too!
• Ethan: ...

(Again)

• Ethan: See you later...

Chapter 12

(Mikaris Geid)

• Mikaris: Ethan, I decided to handle this myself.
• Ethan: How so?
• Mikaris: I'm going to marry Commander Geece, and we're going to raise his son Prafo together!
• Ethan: Congratulations!

(Again)

• Mikaris: I think sometime, somewhere, a baby will come my way...
• Ethan: That would be great!

(Stank Geece)

• Stank: I'd better tighten up the ranks before we get shown up by you guys!
• Ethan: Hehe. Well, we'll see.

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Prafo: Ethan... Humans can't become CASTs, can we?
• Ethan: That's true, Prafo.
• Prafo: Even when I grow up, I won't be able to be a CAST in the Alliance Military, will I?
• Ethan: No... But I'm sure there'll be a time when humans can join the Alliance Military...
• Prafo: Really?
• Ethan: I'm sure. Someday...

(Again)

• Prafo: Ethan, I'm gonna try my hardest!
• Ethan: We'll protect the Gurhal System together!
