Record 1: Clockwork Apple Translated

(The voice of TK-31 narrates in the background.)

TK-31: My name is..no..as one of the members of Neo Arcadia's city administration bureau, I had no name. If a "name" is just a simple means of recognition, it is my serial number, TK-31. This series of numbers is what served as my name. In order to constantly maintain the humans' utopia, a strict administrative organization, consisting of a large number of mass-produced Reploids like us, and a group of high-class Reploids with real names, was necessary. The human society satisfied by the calm-hearted peace was replaced in number by the society of Reploids with advanced functionality. I loved the system of the city Neo Arcadia, so supremely well-managed... Heheheheheh. Yes, up until the moment I took that word as my name!

(Cut to TK-31 with several coworkers.)

Coworker A: Look. It's Harpuia...

Coworker B: So he really has been traveling with the current survey.

Coworker C: If it involves even those guys from the administration bureau and the Hunters, it must be on a large scale. It's supposed to be very dangerous... a great treasure sleeping.

TK-31: Hey, you... would you stop that chatter over there?

Harpuia (in the background): ....Get the supply team going. Good. You are only to collect just the data that is here. Avoid independent action, and report any situations to the accompanying Hunters.

TK-31: For an information facility from the previous age that kept the prototypes to have been discovered here is extremely unusual. It's natural that Master Harpuia, representing Master X's administration from the scientific branch, would come to supervise on-site. Actually, he should consider it an honor.. Heheheheh..

(Cut to a scene where TK-31 and others discover the Submerged Library.)

Investigator A: The electricity is working..here?

TK-31: It looks like a huge library.

Investigator B: Whoa..there's an amazing number of doors. What could so many rooms possibly..

Investigator B: ..H, hey!

TK-31: At that time, I..had no idea what I was doing. That I would wander as though guided by something into the deepest data room and eat of the forbidden fruit that was the fragments of history sealed away in the darkness.. That reality would spread out unbidden before my eyes, and lift the veil..

(TK-31 explores the area and uncovers hidden data about the Elf Wars.)

TK-31: What is this data room...? Ah...aah! Th, this is... the huge power that led the world to destruction... Dark Elf. The above-first-degree war criminal, Doctor Weil. The end of the Elf Wars... the operation to completely control Reploids... This is Master X! What... what are they fighting against... Omega...? What... what is this record...! I've never seen or heard anything like this! That reminds me..that at the research facility in Area 7, the Baby Elves from the time of the great war are stored..

(Suddenly an alarm goes off.)

TK-31: Huh? Wh-what...! An overflow?! History is rewinding... Th-the Maverick Wars... the Sigma Antibody Program... Mother Elf... L-light... Saving the world... The birth of hope... This is... Project Elpizo!

Harpuia: You! What are you doing over there?

TK-31: Huh..!

Harpuia: What's the matter... what are you trembling at? Like I said... you were supposed to just gather data.

(Harpuia disables the alarm.)

Harpuia: Someone like you, even if you were just interested and following your disgraceful curiosity..still shouldn't know pointless things. It doesn't matter. Forget everything you have just seen. Serial number..TK-31.
