1 ev14130100_0380 124 Our original worlds...used to be one and the same.
2 ev14130100_0390 124 It boasted almost unthinkable prosperity,
and was home to *so* many people.
3 ev14130100_0400 124 That is, until one man's foolishness screwed it all up,
splitting it into two separate places.
4 ev14130100_0410 124 One was the world of the Bionis, and the other, Alrest.
5 ev14130100_0420 124 These two divided worlds began to evolve,
independently of each other.
6 ev14130100_0430 124 They each gave birth to new life.
7 ev14130100_0440 124 Wasn't as peaceful as it sounds, though.
8 ev14130100_0450 124 You had your share of tyrannical empires...
9 ev14130100_0460 124 scrabbling over limited resources.
10 ev14130100_0470 124 But despite all that, thanks to generations
of people fighting for the future,
11 ev14130100_0480 124 the worlds did eventually know harmony.
12 ev14130100_0490 124 Sadly, it didn't last.
13 ev14130100_0500 124 The two worlds torn asunder
longed to be as they once were.
14 ev14130100_0510 124 But they were composed of opposing types of matter.
15 ev14130100_0520 124 Recombined, they would dissolve into light and cease to be.
16 ev14130100_0530 124 The annihilation events you see across Aionios...
17 ev14130100_0540 124 are miniature portents of this.
18 ev14130100_0550 124 So we put our heads together, and built something
that would let us escape destruction.
19 ev14130100_0560 124 We called it "Origin". A repository of data
about everything, of memories and souls.
20 ev14130100_0570 124 Even if the worlds were annihilated,
this system would let us revive them.
21 ev14130100_0580 124 And...
22 ev14130100_0585 124 That thing in the sky is it.
23 ev14130100_0590 124 At the heart of its workings
is the Trinity Processor core called Ontos.
24 ev14130100_0600 124 ...In other words, Alpha.
25 ev14130100_0610 124 But Alpha deemed our existence obsolete,
and wanted to erase us.
26 ev14130100_0620 124 We all fought. Even Moebius.
27 ev14130100_0630 124 And it was a draw... No, I guess we lost.
28 ev14130100_0640 124 All we did was delay the inevitable a smidge.
29 ev14130100_0650 124 We couldn't cut it.
30 ev14130100_0660 124 Now Alpha's gathering power again
and getting ready to depart.
31 ev14130100_0670 124 In the heart of Origin, called the Ark.
Alongside new life...
32 ev14130100_0680 124 The lives of City people gathered there,
which he plans to take to a new world.
33 ev14130100_0010 124 Is that all of it then?
34 ev14130100_0020 124 We done? No more little secrets?
35 ev14130100_0030 124 It's the unvarnished truth.
36 ev14130100_0040 124 [ML:undisp ](staring, thinking)
37 ev14130100_0050 124 [ML:undisp ](heavy sigh)
38 ev14130100_0060 124 But...why would he choose her in particular?
39 ev14130100_0070 124 There were so many in the City to choose from.
40 ev14130100_0080 124 She's got Agnian ancestry...
41 ev14130100_0090 124 In terms of hereditary traits...
Core Crystals get dominance.
42 ev14130100_0100 124 My guess? Maybe it's 'cause he's got
injured when we fought.
43 ev14130100_0110 124 Maybe she's got whatever he's lacking.
44 ev14130100_0120 124 There's more to it.
45 ev14130100_0130 124 Her emotions also factor into it.
46 ev14130100_0140 124 Or... That may in fact be the most crucial element of all.
47 ev14130100_0160 124 [ML:undisp ](pained breath)
48 ev14130100_9010 124 Say... What's so great about this world, really?
49 ev14130100_9020 124 All the thieving for one's own gain! The greed!
50 ev14130100_9030 124 Life has less value in this world than a piece of dirt!
This is your world of peace?!
51 ev14130100_0170 124 That...
52 ev14130100_0180 124 That wasn't my sister back there.
53 ev14130100_0190 124 Na'el is the kindest person I know.
54 ev14130100_0200 124 She looked after the City's children, and they loved her...
55 ev14130100_0210 124 But that's just it.
56 ev14130100_0220 124 When a person loses that, what do they do?
57 ev14130100_0230 124 They change.
58 ev14130100_0240 124 [ML:undisp ](breath)
59 ev14130100_0250 124 What she said last night... That's the way she truly felt.
60 ev14130100_0260 124 And to Alpha... Those emotions are the perfect fodder.
61 ev14130100_0270 124 Right now, she's a great deal more
indispensable to him than me.
62 ev14130100_0280 124 [ML:undisp ](standing up)
63 ev14130100_0290 124 I'll find him.
64 ev14130100_0300 124 But I'm doing it for her. For Na'el.
65 ev14130100_0320 124 All this saving the world stuff...?
That's something for you guys to sort out.
66 ev14130100_0340 124 ...I'll buckle up,
67 ev14130100_0345 124 no problem.
68 ev14130100_0350 124 Good to hear.
69 ev14130100_0360 124 Then our goals align.
70 ev14130100_0370 124 Case you didn't notice...we want the best for you too.
