sally forth!!"{clear:32}

#### 2 ####
Maria
"{name:13:ץĥ},
Let's go!!"{clear:32}

#### 3 ####
{fast:03}Hmph, it's you again...{wait:14}
You pests aren't making
my job any easier.

#### 4 ####
{fast:02}Elly
"Dominia...!{wait:14}
Is that you!?"

#### 5 ####
{fast:02}Fei
"Dominia!"

#### 6 ####
{fast:02}Elly
"Dominia!{wait:14}
I can't let you have the
Gear!"

#### 7 ####
{fast:02}Fei
"I can't let you have the
Gear!"

#### 8 ####
{fast:02}Maria
"...!?{wait:14}
What do you mean?"

#### 9 ####
{fast:02}Dominia
"What do I mean?{wait:14}
You'll understand it
when you hear the story."

#### 10 ####
{fast:02}Dominia
"I don't lie, Maria.{wait:14}
This is the truth.{enter}
Your splendid father
succeeded in fusing man
and machine.{enter}
And he opened the gates
to hell for the Lambs."

#### 11 ####
{fast:02}Don't you think you've
said enough, Dominia?

#### 12 ####
{fast:02}Jessie
"Why are women so 
gossipy?{enter}
They jabber about
things they shouldn't
be talking about.
Hopeless..."

#### 13 ####
Billy
"D, dad!?"

#### 14 ####
Dominia
"Jesiah!?{wait:14}
You...!?{enter}
What're you doing in
Shevat!?{enter}
At one point, weren't
you considered to be
the next Gebler
commander-in-chief!?"

#### 15 ####
Fei
"Hey Maria.{wait:14}
Don't mind what she
told you..."

#### 16 ####
Fei
"Wait!{wait:14}
Dominia!"

#### 17 ####
Fei
"...!?{wait:14}
This...is...?"

#### 18 ####
{fast:02}Maria
"Where is the
intruder...!?"

#### 19 ####
{fast:02}Maria
"Undoubtedly, I am the
daughter of Nikolai,
Maria Balthasar!{enter}
What about it...?"

#### 20 ####
{fast:02}Maria
"That's a lie!!{wait:14}
My father wouldn't do
such a horrible thing!!"

#### 21 ####
{fast:02}Maria
"...!!"

#### 22 ####
Maria
"...{wait:14}
Father..."

#### 23 ####
Maria
"..."

#### 24 ####
Maria
"{name:13:ץĥ}..."{clear:C8}

#### 25 ####
Maria
"{name:13:ץĥ}!!"

#### 26 ####
Maria
"I'm sorry,{wait:14} 
I'm late...{enter}
Let's go!
Solaris'...{wait:3C}
Solaris'...{wait:32} enemy is
awaiting!!"

#### 27 ####
Dominia
"Never thought I'd come
across {name:13:ץĥ}
in my place of escape."

#### 28 ####
Dominia
"I'll take
{name:13:ץĥ}.{enter}
Originally, this 
belonged to us,
Solaris."

#### 29 ####
Dominia
"Fool, not even knowing
this Gear is the point
of contact between us."

#### 30 ####
Dominia
"Heh, then try and
stop me!"

#### 31 ####
Dominia
"Huh...?"{clear:14}

#### 32 ####
Dominia
"That child...
Hey, you...{wait:14}{enter}
Are you the daughter
of Nikolai...?"

#### 33 ####
Dominia
"I see...{enter}
So you're his beloved
daughter to whom he offered
himself to undertake that 
difficult task..."

#### 34 ####
Dominia
"Hey, young girl.{wait:14}
Want to hear
an interesting story?{enter}
Let's see...{wait:14}
How about the cursed
secret of
{name:13:ץĥ}?"

#### 35 ####
For the past several
decades, our scientists
had put so much effort
into the research to
create evolved Gears.{enter}
Regardless of how great a
pilot one is, as long it
is human, there will
always exist a time lag
and human error when
interfacing with a
machine.{enter}
That's when your father,
Nikolai was targeted.{wait:14}
He was a genius in the
field of cranial nerve
mechanisms.{enter}
They made Nikolai search
for a way for humans to
go beyond humans...{wait:14} By
merging humans and
machines.{enter}
In other words, they were
trying to create a new
life, an ultimate living
weapon,{wait:0A} by connecting a
living human brain to a
Gear directly.{enter}
It would've stayed as a
mere fantasy{wait:0A} without
Nikolai.{wait:14} But that genius
made the fantasy come
true...

#### 36 ####
As a matter of fact,
various data and
components obtained from
the war in Ignas, and the
Battling in Kislev, were
used as experimental
materials.{enter}
That is how the special
humanoid mutants, Wels
were born.{wait:14} Wels created
in Solaris were tested
on the surface.{enter}
Only the Wels that passed
the tests were dismantled,
restructured, and reborn.{wait:14}
They became the Gear's
central control circuit...
and became part of the
machine...{enter}
It's all the result of
your father's great
research.{wait:14}
{name:13:ץĥ}, is the
prototype of 
a man-machine fusion
Gear.{enter}
In other words...
{name:13:ץĥ} was completed
at the cost of innumerable
land dwellers' lives.

#### 37 ####
And in the nerve circuit
of {name:13:ץĥ} lies...

#### 38 ####
Dominia
"Hmph, fools!
Don't get so cocky.{wait:14}
The party's just begun.{enter}
But, I guess it's alright.
My mission is complete.{wait:14}
All that's left is..."

#### 39 ####
Dominia
"Maria, I'm afraid I must
go now.{enter}
Enjoy your party.{wait:14}
Hah hah hah...!"

#### 40 ####
{fast:02}Dominia
"Who is it!?"{clear:1E}

#### 41 ####
Jessie
"Don't get so excited.{clear:1E}
It's not good for your
beauty, Dominia.{enter}
We adults have our own
reasons.{wait:14} But you kids
wouldn't understand."

#### 42 ####
Jessie
"I think you've played
with enough fire for
today.{wait:14} Just go home.{enter}
Maria is the only
one who can operate
{name:13:ץĥ}.{enter}
You should be well aware
of that."

#### 43 ####
Jessie
"It looks like our guests
have arrived.{wait:14}
Let's go upstairs.{enter}
The Yggdrasil is also
accommodated in the dock.{wait:14}{enter}
I'm sure the other
guys are making a
fuss over it."

#### 44 ####
Jessie
"I have an ominous
premonition...{enter}
I doubt it but...
they could've..."

#### 45 ####
{fast:02}"It'll take a bit 
more time to inspect
{name:13:ץĥ}.{enter}
Please go up there,
and take a look around
town."

#### 46 ####
Maria
"This {name:13:ץĥ} was
developed by my father.{enter}
At the research
institute in Solaris..."

#### 47 ####
Maria
"I just turned five years
old at that time, and had
no clue what was happening.{enter}
Using me as a hostage,
they forced my father to
continue the research..."

#### 48 ####
Maria
"But he never showed his
pain or sorrow in front
of me...{enter}
He always smiled 
and said...{enter}
'Don't worry, Maria,
 {name:13:ץĥ} will be
 by your side to
 protect you...' "

#### 49 ####
Maria
"Five years ago, that day,
when I fell behind in our
escape...{enter}
My father protected me
and ended up
being left behind..."

#### 50 ####
Maria
"My father's voice, his
smiles...{wait:14}are leaving me.{enter}
They are far away, 
becoming obscure...{enter}
I believed this would
never happen...{wait:14}I swore
I'd never forget...!{enter}
Now, the only connection
between my father and me
is this {name:13:ץĥ}..."

#### 51 ####
Maria
"But...I'll save my
father someday!{enter}
I'll bring back my
father's smile!{wait:14}
{name:13:ץĥ} and I will
do it, I swear...!!{enter}
I swear...!!
..."

#### 52 ####
Maria
"Sorry...{wait:14}I shouldn't have
told you such a bizarre
story...{enter}
It has nothing to do with
you..."

#### 53 ####
{fast:02}I never thought it'd turn
out that way...{wait:14}
I was scared to death.{enter}
We restored the Yggdrasil
to perfection.
It can fly anytime.

#### 54 ####
{fast:02}Well, talking about
servicing, it's not like
we know everything about
{name:13:ץĥ}.{enter}
Realistically, all we can do
is check for abnormalities
and do simple repairs.

#### 55 ####
{fast:02}Don't worry,
I'll also take a look at
your Gears later.

#### 56 ####
{fast:02}It was amazing, I was so
impressed!{wait:14} As long as
Maria and you're with us,
we have the power of a
1000 Gears.{enter}
We gave it our all to fix
the Gears and the Yggdra!{wait:14}
At this rate, we can beat
Solaris in one shot!

#### 57 ####
...Maybe.{clear:28}

#### 58 ####
{fast:02}They say the fight between
you and {name:13:ץĥ}
was well matched?{enter}
Amazing...{wait:14}
There are still people
from the surface that can
do all that.{enter}
No sweat. If we all work
together, we can teach
Solaris a thing or two!

#### 59 ####
...Maybe{clear:28}

#### 60 ####
How could Solaris do such
a terrible thing...!!{wait:14}
Damn it!{enter}
It's unbearable...to see
the genius, Dr. Nikolai
ending his life like
that...

#### 61 ####
But, this is such a
monster...{wait:14}Maria's father
designed something really
extraordinary.{enter}
I hear he's a Solaris
scientist, but I still
respect him. He proved to
me a genius really exists.
