Come on, Veven! You get to become a cornerstone for[ST:n ]the next dazzling chapter of science![ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
qev070101_MSG0065 |
You Ma-non are disciples of science, aren't you?[ST:n ]Now stop your whining and get in the damn car.[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
qev070101_MSG0066 |
Sorry, Professor B, but I think this thing is more of a[ST:n ]tombstone than a cornerstone, you know?[ST:n ]And I'm probably too young to die?[ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
qev070101_MSG0067 |
Damn! I finally get a test rig up and working,[ST:n ]and you're going to pull this crap on me?[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
qev070101_JNK0150 |
Probe |
| 6 |
|
qev070101_SEL0151 |
Inquire as to what is going on here. |
| 7 |
|
qev070101_JNK0160 |
Query |
| 8 |
|
qev070101_SEL0161 |
Ask Professor B who the Ma-non is. |
| 9 |
|
qev070101_MSG0068 |
Absolutely nothing—that's the problem! I brought[ST:n ]my assistant Veven here to play guinea pig for me,[ST:n ]but he's gone chicken![ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
qev070101_MSG0069 |
He's my worthless assistant, Veven.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev070101_MSG0070 |
I gave him the honor of riding in my Miramobile time[ST:n ]machine, and he repays me with a silly tantrum![ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev070101_MSG0071 |
And after you went to the trouble of furnishing this[ST:n ]perfectly serviceable car![ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
qev070101_MSG0072 |
And after you rushed out to find us this old jalopy![ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev070101_MSG0073 |
And after you went to the trouble of getting us this[ST:n ]sweet ride![ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev070101_MSG0074 |
No more excuses, Veven! Are you trying to put all this[ST:n ]poor [ST:Gender p1=man's p2=woman's ] hard work to waste?![ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev070101_MSG0075 |
Well, I don't want to to do that, but time travel seems[ST:n ]pretty dangerous, doesn't it?[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev070101_MSG0076 |
I'm as intrigued about science as as anyone,[ST:n ]but I've only got one life to give to it, you know?[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
qev070101_MSG0077 |
What, you don't trust me?[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev070101_MSG0078 |
If you're so confident, maybe you should be the one[ST:n ]to take it for a ride, Professor? You're weirdly insistent[ST:n ]that I be the one who tests it, you know?[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
qev070101_MSG0079 |
Well, of course! If I got sucked into a stray #k»*#+‹,[ST:n ]I'd be torn to shreds instantl—[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev070101_MSG0080 |
...Leeeave it to me! It's fine. I didn't say a thing.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev070101_MSG0081 |
I think that's probably the opposite of fine?[ST:n ]Either way, I'm not getting in that vehicle.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev070101_MSG0082 |
Then it appears we are at an impasse here.[ST:n ]...Hey, kid, help me talk some sense into this fool![ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev070101_JNK0170 |
Hype |
| 25 |
|
qev070101_SEL0171 |
Appeal to Veven's emotions to fire him up. |
| 26 |
|
qev070101_JNK0180 |
Persuade |
| 27 |
|
qev070101_SEL0181 |
Use logic to appeal to Veven's intellect. |
| 28 |
|
qev070101_MSG0083 |
Wow, you're really eager. And it's not that I don't[ST:n ]share that enthusiasm, you know? Otherwise I'd never[ST:n ]have agreed to all of Professor B's madness until now.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
qev070101_MSG0084 |
Of course I'm interested in in a time machine.[ST:n ]But I'm not risking my life, if that makes sense?[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
qev070101_MSG0085 |
...What's that? Scientific progress has always been[ST:n ]built on on knowledge and self-sacrificing dedication[ST:n ]in equal parts?[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
qev070101_MSG0086 |
...I should hang up my lab coat right now if I can't[ST:n ]accept that? Science isn't just fun and games?[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
qev070101_MSG0087 |
Well, that stings.[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
qev070101_MSG0088 |
I suppose you seem like a smart person?[ST:n ]Different than my scientific mind, maybe, but still...[ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
qev070101_MSG0089 |
I hear what you're saying, but none of it proves that[ST:n ]I'll be be all right if I get in that time machine,[ST:n ]if that makes sense?[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
qev070101_MSG0090 |
...What's that? Even if this test fails, Professor B will[ST:n ]eventually succeed?[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
qev070101_MSG0091 |
And then he he just needs to jump back to the moment[ST:n ]before this test?[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
qev070101_MSG0092 |
And that way the machine from that successful trial will[ST:n ]replace this initial failed prototype?[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
qev070101_MSG0093 |
Meaning I won't actually die in the canonical timeline?[ST:n ]Hmmm...[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
qev070101_MSG0094 |
I feel like there's some circular reasoning in there[ST:n ]somewhere, but I think I'm...warming to to the idea?[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
qev070101_MSG0095 |
All right, Professor. I'll ride in your time machine.[ST:n ]I hope I don't regret this...?[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
qev070101_MSG0096 |
You'll do it? Ha ha! I'd expect nothing less from my[ST:n ]intrepid Ma-non assistant![ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev070101_MSG0097 |
And nice work with the smooth talk there, [ST:Gender p1=sir p2=ma'am ].[ST:n ]...All right! Now that we have a test subject,[ST:n ]let's get this party started![ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev070101_MSG0098 |
Hurry up and get in the Miramobile, Veven![ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
qev070101_MSG0099 |
I'm ready for you to send me to whatever dark corner[ST:n ]of history you want, okay?[ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev070101_MSG0100 |
Roger that! The y#$k+\\\\••* is online...[ST:n ]Setting destination for three thousand years[ST:n ]in the future![ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
qev070101_MSG0101 |
Veven, are you ready to slip the bonds of time and[ST:n ]take flight into that bright and distant tomorrow?![ST:wait ] |
| 47 |
|
qev070101_MSG0102 |
Absolutely! ...Er, I think? Yes?[ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
qev070101_MSG0103 |
Hrrngh...? Heeeere IIIII gooooOOOOOOOOOOOO![ST:wait ] |
| 49 |
|
qev070101_MSG0104 |
Now, my precious Miramobile! Smash through the[ST:n ]walls of the fourth dimension and rewrite the laws of[ST:n ]the universe![ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
qev070101_MSG0105 |
......[ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
qev070101_MSG0121 |
The numbers were there. It reached the threshold.[ST:n ]So why...?[ST:wait ] |
| 52 |
|
qev070101_MSG0122 |
Damn! I swear on my own brain that I'll fly this thing[ST:n ]to the future. You just get me that topaz wine, kid![ST:wait ] |
| 53 |
|
qev070101_MSG0123 |
Well? Did you get the topaz wine, kid? It's the last[ST:n ]thing I need to soup up my magnificent Miramobile.[ST:wait ] |
| 54 |
|
qev070101_MSG0124 |
Excellent work! I'll install it right now...[ST:wait ] |
| 55 |
|
qev070101_MSG0125 |
......[ST:wait ] |
| 56 |
|
qev070101_MSG0126 |
There. Done. Behold the Counter-y#$k+\\\\••*[ST:n ]Navigation Edition of my beautiful machine![ST:wait ] |
| 57 |
|
qev070101_MSG0127 |
It's my ultimate creation, capable of overriding every[ST:n ]causal factor in Miran space-time![ST:wait ] |
| 58 |
|
qev070101_JNK0210 |
Inquire |
| 59 |
|
qev070101_SEL0211 |
Ask who is piloting it this time. |
| 60 |
|
qev070101_JNK0220 |
Worry |
| 61 |
|
qev070101_SEL0221 |
Express concern that this will be another failed trial. |
| 62 |
|
qev070101_MSG0128 |
A most astute question![ST:n ]I certainly can't trust that shrimp to do it.[ST:wait ] |
| 63 |
|
qev070101_MSG0129 |
This time, I'll drive to the future myself.[ST:n ]The perfect pilot for the perfect machine.[ST:n ]There's not a sliver of a chance of failure![ST:wait ] |
| 64 |
|
qev070101_MSG0130 |
Heh. Quite the nervous nelly, aren't you?[ST:wait ] |
| 65 |
|
qev070101_MSG0131 |
There's no chance of failure with this machine.[ST:n ]Besides, this time it'll have a competent pilot—me![ST:wait ] |
| 66 |
|
qev070101_MSG0132 |
This is good-bye for now, but don't worry, kid.[ST:n ]I may literally be back before you know it.[ST:wait ] |
| 67 |
|
qev070101_JNK0230 |
Send Off |
| 68 |
|
qev070101_SEL0231 |
See Professor B off to the future with a broad smile. |
| 69 |
|
qev070101_JNK0240 |
Regret |
| 70 |
|
qev070101_SEL0241 |
Tell Professor B how much you will miss him. |
| 71 |
|
qev070101_MSG0133 |
I appreciate that, kid.[ST:n ]Emotional good-byes make me itch.[ST:wait ] |
| 72 |
|
qev070101_MSG0134 |
Now then... It's time for the trial run![ST:wait ] |
| 73 |
|
qev070101_MSG0135 |
Bah! I'm sure we'll meet again,[ST:n ]sometime, somewhere, kid.[ST:wait ] |
| 74 |
|
qev070101_MSG0136 |
But for now... Commencing the trial run![ST:wait ] |
| 75 |
|
qev070101_MSG0137 |
Setting destination time past the far side of the future,[ST:n ]to the time axis I once inhabited...[ST:wait ] |
| 76 |
|
qev070101_MSG0138 |
You, Veven, and the others in this time have been a[ST:n ]great help.[ST:wait ] |
| 77 |
|
qev070101_MSG0139 |
Heh. Though I could have done without the ones that[ST:n ]attacked us.[ST:wait ] |
| 78 |
|
qev070101_MSG0140 |
Thanks for everything, [ST:playername ].[ST:n ]Give Veven my regards.[ST:wait ] |
| 79 |
|
qev070101_MSG0141 |
Take care. And farewell![ST:wait ] |
| 80 |
|
qev070101_MSG0142 |
Even if this is good-bye forever,[ST:n ]know that I'll never forget you![ST:wait ] |
| 81 |
|
qev070101_MSG0143 |
Ha ha, that's right![ST:wait ] |
| 82 |
|
qev070101_MSG0144 |
Tear through that a••*%$k with 3«*@-/x, girl![ST:n ]We're off to the FUTURE![ST:wait ] |
| 83 |
|
qev070101_MSG0145 |
...Hmm? Where did Professor B go? He asked me to[ST:n ]buy these parts he he was running low on...[ST:wait ] |
| 84 |
|
qev070101_MSG0146 |
...WHAT?! He went home to the future?![ST:wait ] |
| 85 |
|
qev070101_MSG0147 |
Just like that? We did everything together all this time,[ST:n ]and now he just takes off?[ST:wait ] |
| 86 |
|
qev070101_JNK0250 |
Deduce |
| 87 |
|
qev070101_SEL0251 |
Assume Professor B's intentions. |
| 88 |
|
qev070101_JNK0260 |
Relay |
| 89 |
|
qev070101_SEL0261 |
Tell Veven that Professor B said he was grateful. |
| 90 |
|
qev070101_MSG0148 |
I suppose I didn't think of of his feelings in all this.[ST:n ]You humans are sensitive to that sort of thing, yes?[ST:wait ] |
| 91 |
|
qev070101_MSG0149 |
It's true that for all his bluster, he always had[ST:n ]something of a...bashful side?[ST:wait ] |
| 92 |
|
qev070101_MSG0150 |
Maybe he couldn't say good-bye face-to-face BECAUSE[ST:n ]we went through so much together?[ST:wait ] |
| 93 |
|
qev070101_MSG0151 |
He thanked ME? I wish he'd said it to to my face...[ST:wait ] |
| 94 |
|
qev070101_MSG0152 |
If not for you, was he planning to leave without saying[ST:n ]a word?[ST:wait ] |
| 95 |
|
qev070101_MSG0153 |
*sigh* The man was a real headache, you know?[ST:wait ] |
| 96 |
|
qev070101_MSG0154 |
I'll just have to get to work on building a new and[ST:n ]improved Miramobile Mark II, I suppose?[ST:wait ] |
| 97 |
|
qev070101_MSG0155 |
I'll ride it to the future and scare the pants off of[ST:n ]Professor B! That would be pretty funny, right?[ST:wait ] |
| 98 |
|
qev070101_MSG0156 |
I guess I have a lot of of studying ahead of me, huh?[ST:n ]Just you wait, Professor![ST:wait ] |
