Chapter 6 - Stage 6

Opening

Constantia: Scathy-san we have arrived to the target point.
            Is this... the last memory?
Scathy: If my calculation matches... It should be.
        Start scanning for nearby memory spots.
        Wait a minute... Oh , there was a reaction right now.
        Lets take a look at Evas last memory.

Eva
May 17, 2132. Record of Eva Jones.
Perhaps this will be the last record I will leave.
The research, which took more than 100 years, has finally been completed.
Finally, humans will be able to overcome the Hypno disease.
I dont want to admit it, but Amina Jones was a genius.
As much as my husband...
Based on the hint she gave me, I and bioloids researched and researched.
And we finally succeeded.
It was really easy to overcome...
However, from the history of human illness, the cause was unusual in the first place.
It was so unavoidable that I didnt understand...
We thought that the Hypno disease was a cell and living based disease.
It was natural to fail.
Now I laugh because the research is complete now.
I had to change my perspective a little.
In the first place, I was trying to understand it as a biological and chemical cause.
That was a mistake.
Medical conditions such as infectious diseases confused our thinking.
The Hypno disease is between a kind of particle and wavelength that falls from space.
It was a disease caused by something.
Oddly enough, once you get this disease, your nerve cells change, like if they were infected with something.
It changes itself and then the surrounding cells.
Well, I dont need to talk about it concretely.
I kept all my research records.
And the "something" that causes this disease will soon prosper.
We hope that new humans scientist will identify and name it.
...Treatment is impossible, but prevention is easy.
Does this wavelength cover the central nervous system with a completely sealed heavy metal?
It can be prevented by replacing it with an electronic nerve.
The reason why bioloid dont get this disease...
Is because origin dust forms a thin layer during the development of nerve cells.
It is thought that this is to prevent that wavelength.
But it is impossible to apply that method to humans.
Bioloid were born by multiplying the nervous system in an artificial skeleton.
The human skeleton grows.
Therefore, the last resort to reach has the same growth information as the genotype.
To replace the growing electronic nerve and the nervous system.
This is the only way humans can escape the Hypno disease.
We started artificial cultivation of eggs that have been kept frozen in the past.
Probably... its unavoidable to go through a lot of trial and error from now on.
Im sure we can make people who wont get Hypno disease.
Thanks to this research we were able to obtain an unexpected harvest.
How to apply human mental illness to iron-bugs, how to apply biological nerves to robots.
Its a successful technology thanks to this research.
A separate record will be kept for this.
Anyway, after confirming human survival in this way.
Select the best human being from them.
I intend to make him the leader of a new human race.
After the best of them have grown up and if they pass the test, I will pass the the legacy that Amina left for humanity.
Thats exactly what Amina wanted...
It was...
...

Griffon: Ha?! Whats wrong?!
Scathy: Haking! The most important part... Damm! Where?!
        Oh! the memory spot was destroyed!
        Oh dammit! Forget it!
Constantia: Scathy-san, please tell me the exact location of the memory spot!
            Lets protect it and recover it!
Scathy: There is no time! The iron-bugs are already approaching you!
        For now, please approach the backup memory while fighting.
        There should still be memories there!
        I will send you the information! Commander please take the command!
        Guide us to the last hope!


Ending

Constantia: Scathy-san, is the location of the backup memory here?
            After all... It was going to be a big deal. Hmmm... if its where the signal...
            Eh...? Eh...? That...! I cant find the backup memory.
            The reaction has disappeared!
            What does that mean?!
            This is... it seems to be deleted after download, not destroyed...
            Its weird... Nobody should have download permission...
            Who...
Labiata: Dont worry. Ive already secure it.
Constantia: Haa! Labiata onee-sama! How on earth...
Scathy: Oh, it was Labiata? Thats right...
        Only you have the authority to this memory.
        When I saw that there were download traces I knew immediately that it was Labiata...
Labiata: Fufufu... Scathy how are you?
         Also you Constantia.
Constantia: Labiata onee-sama... Just when I thought I could finally meet you, you disappeared...
            And... what is this all about?
Labiata: Fufufu...
         Isnt there something more important that that? Why not finish it?
         First of all will you introduce me to the new commander?
Constantia: Ah! Im sorry. I was careless... Labiata onee-sama, this is my new Master. Master... this is Labiata onee-sama.
Labiata: Is my honour to meet you.
         Commander, unfortunately because its inside the virtual world...
         Please forgive for not properly meet you and say hello.
         Its a pity that I cant see the commander...

A greeting that feels strange...
However, I cant express what the discomfort is...
Me too.

Labiata: Ive always wanted to see you, last time, during the evacuation, the communication equipment broke down.
         I coudlnt see you in the screen.
Constantia: Is that true...? I didnt know...
            When I saw onee-samas face... I was just happy...
Labiata: I couldnt receive the video, but I was able to send it properly, right?
         I was disappointed at that time too...
         Especially... because I couldnt see the commanders face...
         But I knew there was no problem with the voice, so I was wondering if the iron-bugs would detect normal communication.
         Thats why I sent a voice signal that only you, Constantia, could understand.
         The details are encrypted in complex ways.
         I was thinking about doing this in virtual reality world...

Labiata was staring at me when she said that.
What does that mean...

Labiata: I want to see commanders true face soon...
         Now the situation is just a little, it seems difficult to escape from the place where you are in reality.
         I would like to ask for your help again... Will you?

Thats right.

Labiata: Near the secret Jones laboratory.
         There is a small hideout.
         Its a place that only I know.
         Ive been there for a long time...
Constantia: Eh...? Did you connect alone from such place?!!
            Isnt that... dangerous?
Labiata: Fufu... Its a very sturdy and sealed space, so its okay for the time being.
Constantia: Is that so? Im relieved a little.
            So... why did you call us here...?
Labiata: I wanted to tell the commander about Eva first.
         What she was doing for a long time, Its because of the great work that She has done since I lost contact with her.
         There were other things I wanted to check in virtual reality...
         Ah, but I think its better to talk about this later.
         I think its about time for me to join, there is also a story that I want to tell after seeing the commander.
Constantia: So, after all, Aminas legacy was taken by Labiata onee-sama, right?
Labiata: Eva... I couldnt protect her until the end... but at least I can tell you about hat.
         I think that there is no problem even if it is a little later...
         I want you to help me first.
Constantia: If Labiata onee-sama joins us, it will surely be a great help!
            Is it okay to cooperate Master?

Of the bioloids that existed from the past until the present, the addition of Labiata, which is considered to be pinnacle,
should be a big plus.
We should help each other.
Of course I will help you.

Labiata: Fufu, thank you.
         Recently, it seems that iron-bugs have also been noticed and they are attacking in groups...
         Its getting dangerous to be alone around here.
         ...Apparently there are monster that I cant defeat alone...
         Cooperation is needed.
Constantia: Master has also accepted, we will form a rescue team as soon as we disconnect!
            Please wait a little longer. We will go immediately!
Labiata: I understand. Please come as soon as possible.
         I want to see commander soon.
