| 1 | bf10240100_0010 | 82 | You have seen the plain called
Morytha, have you not? |
| 2 | bf10240100_0020 | 82 | That is what remains of my world. |
| 3 | bf10240100_0030 | 82 | When I opened the Conduit,
many people and many things... |
| 4 | bf10240100_0040 | 82 | disappeared, into distant dimensions. |
| 5 | bf10240100_0050 | 82 | All that remained here were the ruins of Morytha... |
| 6 | bf10240100_0060 | 82 | and half of my body. |
| 7 | bf10240100_0070 | 82 | [ML:undisp ]! |
| 8 | bf10240100_0080 | 82 | Your...body... |
| 9 | bf10240100_0090 | 82 | Half of me lives on in some other dimension. |
| 10 | bf10240100_0100 | 82 | But...not for much longer. |
| 11 | bf10240100_0110 | 82 | What do you mean? |
| 12 | bf10240100_0120 | 82 | The moment of my other self's
demise draws near. |
| 13 | bf10240100_0130 | 82 | Father, you... |
| 14 | bf10240100_0140 | 82 | I was a fool. |
| 15 | bf10240100_0150 | 82 | Because of my foolishness, I lost everything. |
| 16 | bf10240100_0160 | 82 | Left here, alone and broken, I longed for oblivion...
But even that eluded me. |
| 17 | bf10240100_0170 | 82 | This is my punishment... |
| 18 | bf10240100_0180 | 82 | Retribution from on high, for the sin I have committed... |
| 19 | bf10240100_0190 | 82 | On high...? |
| 20 | bf10240100_0200 | 82 | There was only one thing I could do... |
| 21 | bf10240100_0210 | 82 | I had to atone for my sin. |
| 22 | bf10240100_0220 | 82 | I swore to restore this world. |
| 23 | bf10240100_0230 | 82 | The first thing I created... |
| 24 | bf10240100_0240 | 82 | was a special particulate substance with
the ability to restore deteriorated matter. |
| 25 | bf10240100_0250 | 82 | You all know it as the Cloud Sea. |
| 26 | bf10240100_0260 | 82 | The Cloud Sea can disassemble
matter it comes in contact with, |
| 27 | bf10240100_0270 | 82 | and rebuild it in the image of all the things
that once made up this world. |
| 28 | bf10240100_0290 | 82 | This way, little by little I could rebuild
the world I had brought to ruin... |
| 29 | bf10240100_0300 | 82 | Next, I began to recreate life. |
| 30 | bf10240100_0310 | 82 | I gathered miniature vessels containing memories
of all this planet's former lifeforms, |
| 31 | bf10240100_0320 | 82 | and I scattered them across the Cloud Sea.
These are the Core Crystals. |
| 32 | bf10240100_0330 | 82 | The Crystals bonded with the Cloud Sea's
particulate reconstructors... |
| 33 | bf10240100_0340 | 82 | and formed the nuclei of new life. |
| 34 | bf10240100_0350 | 82 | Those nuclei developed into minute lifeforms- |
| 35 | bf10240100_0360 | 82 | the Titans-who would over time grow larger and larger. |
| 36 | bf10240100_0370 | 82 | Finally, the Titans gave birth |
| 37 | bf10240100_0380 | 82 | to complex organisms, based on the
data in their Core Crystals. |
| 38 | bf10240100_0390 | 82 | This newly-birthed life, over untold millennia... |
| 39 | bf10240100_0400 | 82 | evolved into a new breed of mankind. |
| 40 | bf10240100_0410 | 82 | So that's how we came to live in this world... |
| 41 | bf10240100_0420 | 82 | But I did not trust this world,
born as it had been. |
| 42 | bf10240100_0430 | 82 | What if it were to repeat our mistakes? |
| 43 | bf10240100_0440 | 82 | What if someone like me appeared? |
| 44 | bf10240100_0450 | 82 | To stave off these doubts,
I implemented one final measure. |
| 45 | bf10240100_0460 | 82 | And so the Blades were born. |
| 46 | bf10240100_0470 | 82 | [ML:undisp ]Ah! |
| 47 | bf10240100_0480 | 82 | Ontos, Logos and Pneuma... |
| 48 | bf10240100_0490 | 82 | the three cores of the Trinity Processor formed their cornerstone. |
| 49 | bf10240100_0500 | 82 | However... Ontos triggered a space-time
transition event, and disappeared forever. |
| 50 | bf10240100_0510 | 82 | I was left with the other two, Logos and Pneuma,
entrusting them with managing the Blades. |
| 51 | bf10240100_0520 | 82 | Malos and Pyra... |
| 52 | bf10240100_0530 | 82 | Those are the names that you now know them under. |
| 53 | bf10240100_0540 | 82 | So, I am... Pneuma... |
| 54 | bf10240100_0550 | 82 | 'Managing'? |
| 55 | bf10240100_0560 | 82 | The Core Crystals at the heart of each Blade |
| 56 | bf10240100_0570 | 82 | are tasked with relaying all kinds of
information to Logos and Pneuma... |
| 57 | bf10240100_0580 | 82 | About the selection pressures of the outside world,
and the biological status of their bonded human, |
| 58 | bf10240100_0590 | 82 | but also the experiences and emotions they share. |
| 59 | bf10240100_0600 | 82 | As the data continually accrues... |
| 60 | bf10240100_0610 | 82 | new evolutionary code is sent back
to the Core Crystals, |
| 61 | bf10240100_0620 | 82 | and this code is used to create
new, further evolved Blades. |
| 62 | bf10240100_0630 | 82 | These Blades too become Titans, in time, |
| 63 | bf10240100_0640 | 82 | and create new generations of lifeforms... |
| 64 | bf10240100_0650 | 82 | This was the new circle of life I had created. |
| 65 | bf10240100_0660 | 82 | A grand scheme... |
| 66 | bf10240100_0670 | 82 | It boggles the mind a tad. |
| 67 | bf10240100_0680 | 82 | So we were all born from
this endless cycle of life... |
| 68 | bf10240100_0690 | 82 | To replace the victims of the previous world. |
| 69 | bf10240100_0700 | 82 | That's right. |
| 70 | bf10240100_0710 | 82 | But there were also a handful of survivors. |
| 71 | bf10240100_0720 | 82 | I believe you saw them when you were in Morytha. |
| 72 | bf10240100_0730 | 82 | The unfortunate ones who clung to life... |
| 73 | bf10240100_0740 | 82 | [ML:undisp ]Ahh...! |
| 74 | bf10240100_0750 | 82 | You mean those monsters...
Were they...originally people? |
| 75 | bf10240100_0760 | 82 | Core Crystals were first conceived as
a replacement for human brain cells. |
| 76 | bf10240100_0770 | 82 | |
| 77 | bf10240100_0780 | 82 | A product of mankind's age-old quest for immortality. |
| 78 | bf10240100_0790 | 82 | And that's what became of them...? How awful. |
| 79 | bf10240100_0800 | 82 | But that technology became the starting point
for the creation of Blades and Titans. |
| 80 | bf10240100_0810 | 82 | So in one sense, their sacrifice was not in vain... |
| 81 | bf10240100_0820 | 82 | Though not all may see it as such. |
| 82 | bf10240100_0830 | 82 | So, tell us. In the end... |
| 83 | bf10240100_0840 | 82 | Did we develop as you had hoped? |
| 84 | bf10240100_0850 | 82 | What do you think? |
| 85 | bf10240100_0860 | 82 | I...couldn't possibly... |
| 86 | bf10240100_0870 | 82 | Well...
Those phantasms which you all experienced earlier... |
| 87 | bf10240100_0880 | 82 | Those are feelings that lurk in all of your hearts. |
| 88 | bf10240100_0890 | 82 | ...As well as that man, Amalthus's... |
