KAP040
Sad to say, this is the final episode, huh? Wow. Disappointing as that may be,
you can't say Xenosaga isn't going out with a tremendous bang. I'm truly
excited to be working on this script. But instead of boring you with a long
tirade about how much I adore Xenosaga and how underappreciated this series is,
I'll get right to the point of how this works.
Dialogue and action descriptions in this guide will be as complete as possible,
and I will try my best to make them unbiased. That means that if there is a
character, line, or event that I don't like, I won't skip over it or cheese out
on that part, all right? Completion is my goal, here. It is sometimes difficult
to portray the emotions of the characters adequately... but I've tried to do my
best. Please, feel free to contact me if you think I've interpreted something
incorrectly and we can work together on making it as accurate as possible.
I've formatted this guide in a way that I hope is organized, and I've tried to
make it easy on the eyes. After all, if it isn't easy to read through, there
isn't much point in me putting it up, is there? Again, feedback is always nice.
Let me know if you think the formatting is stupid. :)
As I'm technically only half-way completed with this guide - at the moment, I
only have the spoken words up and not yet the actions to let you know what is
happening as everything is being said, so bear with me. I would like to be
certain that the dialogue is correct, and I'm still deciding in a few cases
whether to go by the voiced words or the text, and if I should correct the
errors in the text that is displayed during scenes. Input here would also be
appreciated. In the next update, hopefully I will have this all sorted out, and
I'll also be noting which scenes are viewable with Swimsuit Mode and how that
works.
That said, it must be stated (and emphasized) that this guide is *NOT* SPOILER
FREE. SPOILERS ABOUND EVERYWHERE. IN FACT, THIS ENTIRE GUIDE IS JUST ONE HUGE
DOCUMENT OF SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE GAME. ...AND THE ENTIRE XENOSAGA SERIES.
MAJOR, MAJOR HEAVY SPOILERS TO THE MAX.
Yep.
Anyway, if you do not mind the plot being spoiled for you or you've already
played the game, then sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy the finale to this
epic series. I know I did. This will be a game I'm replaying years from now, I
can already tell.
So, here we go!

If you need to find something quickly, press and hold CTRL (Control), then
press the F button. This will bring up the 'Find and Replace' box. In it, type
the word or name you're looking for and you should be taken to it immediately.
This is much faster than scrolling through the entire guide.
The scenes have been separated as they are in the Memory Code viewer of the
Data section at the main menu of the game. Each scene has its own quick lookup
code, as does each chapter and subchapter if you're just looking for a general
section. I would advise that you don't look too far ahead in the event list,
though, if you have not already unlocked those scenes through the game, as the
title of the scene is, in most cases, a spoiler.
===============================================================================
E V E N T L I S T
===============================================================================
KAP060
The "/" symbol at the end of a line indicates a section that has dialogue
finished, and ONLY that at this time. Rest assured, they will all be updated.
The "*" symbol at the end of a line indicates a section that has dialogue
finished and a description of the action finished, as well. It may be tweaked
a bit in the future, but for all intents and purposes it is correct and should
be considered complete.
At the moment, lines that have the "-" symbol by them indicate that I am
missing spoken dialogue. Certain events have many NPCs screaming or an
announcer speaking in the background, and it's difficult to make out these
muted and/or overlapping voices.
Once all sections have been completed, these features will be removed, as they
will then not be necessary, and I don't need them taking up excess kb space.
This baby's big enough as it is.

Chapter 1 - Memory of Michtam [1MM]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1 - Memory of Michtam - Kevin's Memory [1MM-1]
---------------------------------------------- -------
T.C. 4747 Planet Michtam
[There is a pillar of light shining brightly into the heavens. It appears to
be coming from the center of a burning city. Clouds swirl around the beam of
light while smoke and burning ash drift up into the sky. On the ground, there
are Gnosis milling about the destruction. There are human corpses strewn
about the piles of burning debris. Suddenly we see two humans, an adult
female with short brown hair sheltering her young child, a boy about eight
years old. They are trying to find a path through the wreckage. The woman is
wearing a familiar blue pendant on a chain around her neck. She has her arms
around the boy as they're walking. Both look worried and sad.]
[There is a large tower that appears to be near the center of the city. It can
be seen from the deserted spaceport where the boy and the woman stop. There
is a single escape pod left. The woman places the boy inside. They embrace.
The woman softly strokes the boy's hair. He looks up at her, worried, and she
removes the pendant from around her neck and places it in the child's palm.
He peers down at it, then back up to his mother when she steps back and seals
the pod. He mouths 'mama' to her through the glass and begins pounding on the
window. The woman mouths something back. The boy reaches for her. She reaches
out and places her hand over his, with just the glass separating them.
Suddenly, the woman's arm begins to glow and transform. The boy screams
'Mom!' and looks on in horror. The woman, now half-Gnosis, smiles at him.]
[The pod shoots out of the building through a tube, leaving the boy's mother
behind. The pod is moving very fast, leaving sparks in its wake.]
[The pillar of light can be seen extending past the planet's atmosphere and
off into the distance of space. The pod soars past it, arcing away from the
destroyed planet. A few spots of light can still be seen, but most of the
planet has been become a vast, empty brown expanse.]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1 - Land Where Saint Sleeps [1LS]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1 - Land Where Saint Sleeps - Testament [1LS-1]
----------------------------------------------- -------
[The scene opens with Red Testament standing in a tomb, next to a casket.
The lid of the casket is slightly open, and whatever's inside of it is
glowing with a bright white light. There is a cross-shaped rock formation
behind him. Suddenly, Blue Testament's voice is heard.]
Blue Testament: Looks like things are going smoothly.
[Three figures appear a short distance from the stone casket. They are the
Blue Testament, the White Testament, and the Black Testament. Red Testament
remains silent.]
Blue Testament: Tch. You're as friendly as ever.
[Blue Testament walks forward to stand beside the casket, and addresses
the Red Testament again.]
Blue Testament: Well, you sure are pulling out the big guns. Do we really
need this thing?
[It is clear that Blue Testament is referring to whatever lies in the stone
casket. The Red Testament turns his head to speak to Blue Testament.]
Red Testament: The space-time anomaly fifteen years ago took place in an
incomplete fashion. We must correct the errors.
[Blue Testament 'hmph's.]
Blue Testament: So, you knew all along, huh? You're one scary guy. I bet
you can't wait to see the look on her face when she
finally knows everything.
[Red Testament turns back to peer into the casket again.]
Red Testament: ...
[Blue Testament turns to the casket now.]
Blue Testament: So, this is our princess?
[Blue Testament leans in to sniff at the open crack of the casket, then
straightens.]
Blue Testament: She smells good. I've fallen in love already.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1 - S-Line Division - Dogfight [1SD-1]
-------------------------------------- -------
[The E.S. Dinah is moving over the tops of the buildings in a brightly lit,
modern-appearing city, dodging explosive shots from interceptor enemy mechs
with ease. Inside Dinah's cockpit, Shion is piloting. She is dressed from
neck to toe in a blue-gray flightsuit. She is also wearing an expression of
mild irritation. Shion glances to the right, and swiftly maneuvers Dinah out
of the way of an enemy shot.]
Shion: Miyuki! You didn't tell me that they had macrophages
deployed! What the hell have you been doing?
[Shion kicks the back of Miyuki's seat. Miyuki is sitting below her,
acting as Dinah's copilot. Miyuki gasps and rubs the back of her head,
rushing to explain.]
Miyuki: Take it easy! I checked it out the best I could. It's not
my fault!
[Dinah moves through the spaces in a few structures, still dodging enemy fire
from the interceptors in hot pursuit. Miyuki leans forward.]
Miyuki: Look, Shion! Three more interceptors just appeared out of
nowhere!
[Shion, still clearly annoyed, responds.]
Shion: Then concentrate on supporting me instead of making
excuses!
[The interceptors appear to be closing in Dinah, but one is suddenly destroyed
in an impressive explosion. Doctus' A.M.W.S. comes in from the right,
evidently responsible for the explosion. Doctus chuckles at Shion and Miyuki
over the communication channel between the two units. Doctus is navigating
her A.M.W.S. unit. She appears to be a woman with short white hair, pale skin
and dark red lipstick. Most notably, she has a pair of dark sunglasses on,
each lens having three small, glowing light blue circles on it. She appears
to be smirking.]
Doctus: You two make a fine pair.
Shion: Doctus!
[Doctus turns her head to the right, noticing more enemy units. She addresses
her pilot, the Realian Canaan, sitting in the seat below her.]
Doctus: Three at seven o'clock. You got it?
Canaan: Yeah, I'm on it.
[Canaan replies, nodding. Doctus's A.M.W.S. slows down to directly confront
the orange interceptors. One of them is destroying immediately with a beam
shot. Doctus's A.M.W.S. dodges a direct attack from one of the remaining
interceptors, and ejects two grenades from compartments on each hip. They
score a hit on the interceptor that just attacked, leaving the flaming debris
to fall to the city streets below. Doctus's A.M.W.S. fires shots at the
interceptors that are still giving chase, blowing up two more. Canaan
maneuvers the mech into a tight passageway inside one of the massive
surrounding buildings, following Dinah. Both units are avoiding security
system traps in the long tunnel. Shion notices an interceptor closing on on
the Dinah, readying its gun, but Canaan pounces on it and lifts it so that
it smashes into a support beam inside the tunnel, while Doctus's unit flies
safely above it. Doctus and Canaan catch up with Shion and Miyuki just as
they exit the tunnel. They find themselves approaching a large tower with the
Vector logo above the entrance. There are several smaller towers situated
around the central tower, each connected to it. Dinah and Doctus's A.M.W.S.
land by the entrance to the central tower. Miyuki hops out first, then turns
to wink at Canaan and waves a fist in his direction.]
Miyuki: That was incredible, Canaan! The way you maneuvered that
A.M.W.S. was unbelievable!
[Shion drops from Dinah next and walks to Miyuki, scolding her.]
Shion: We don't have time for that kind of thing, Miyuki. Has
anything come up on the scanner yet?
[Shion turns and presses a button on a small device in her hand. The E.S.
Dinah glows brightly for a moment, then disappears. Canaan approaches the
two women and speaks to Miyuki, who begins to look hurt.]
Canaan: I hope you understand, what we're after poses a
considerable threat to Vector. I'd appreciate you taking
the situation more seriously.
[Doctus, still inside her A.M.W.S., agrees. She has her arms crossed.]
Doctus: Exactly. I don't care if you get yourself killed. Just
don't take us down with you.
Miyuki: All right, all right, fine! Why's everyone picking on me?
--------------------
Chapter 1 - S-Line Division - Infiltrating the U.M.N. [1SD-2]
----------------------------------------------------- -------
[Shion, Miyuki and Canaan are standing at the entrance to the Vector S-Line
Division tower. Shion and Miyuki are in their flightsuits, and Canaan is
wearing his dull gray flightsuit, as always.]
Shion: Well? Is this it, Miyuki?
Miyuki: Confirming coordinates. Yep, perfect! No doubt about it.
This is Vector's S-Line Division.
Shion: Then the top secret data we want is just ahead.
[Doctus, still inside her A.M.W.S. unit, speaks to the small group.]
Doctus: I'll handle backup. You three, take care of the rest.
Miyuki: You're not going to help, Doctus?
Shion: Don't depend on others to do everything for you!
Doctus: Usus magister est optimus.
[Doctus lifts her A.M.W.S. off the ground, then quickly departs while the
two women and the Realian watch. Canaan turns to address the women. Shion
turns around to look at him.]
Canaan: Hurry. I want to be as far from here as possible when our
pursuit arrives.
[Shion nods silently. Miyuki waves her hands in frustration.]
Miyuki: I know, I know.
--------------------
Chapter 1 - S-Line Division - Vector's Trap [1SD-3]
------------------------------------------- -------
[Shion, Miyuki and Canaan proceed into the Main Terminal of Vector S-Line
Division Sector 5, the sector with the highest level of sensitive
information. The room housing the Main Terminal is extremely large; there are
gigantic blue crystal-like monoliths in the room, spread far apart on a
hexagonal pattern. They appear to be storing the data, though they have an
odd structure visible inside of them. Miyuki gazes up at one of these
towering monoliths, while Canaan accesses the small terminal at the end of
the platform they are standing on. Shion halts in her steps to address
Miyuki.]
Shion: Miyuki, keep watch.
[Miyuki runs over to stand near Canaan and pulls out a small device. A
holographic screen and keyboard pop up, and she begins working. Shion
approaches the two.]
Shion: Canaan, please start the data backup.
Canaan: I'm already on it. Don't screw up, now that we've made it
this far.
Miyuki: I know, I know! But will this really expose Vector's
crimes?
Shion: Miyuki, do you really understand what this U.M.N. really
is?
[Miyuki turns away from her device, and the holographic screen and keyboard
disappear. She turns to face Shion.]
Miyuki: Uh, it's a wide-area network system or something, right?
Canaan: A wide-area information network system with non-local
connections.
[Canaan turns to talk to Shion and Miyuki.]
Canaan: Its characteristics enable warp travel and light speed
communication.
Shion: An exemplary answer. But do you think that's really all
there is to it?
Canaan: What do you mean?
Shion: A wide-area network that connects our star cluster. But
who built it, and when? Who established the gate jump
columns? For that matter, what division of Vector even
handles the base theory development?
Miyuki: It's, um...
Shion: Exactly. No one knows, because no one established it or
built it. It was already there. We just use it as if we
invented it.
Canaan: That's nothing more than your own conjecture. I'll give you
credit for your vivid imagination, but you have no proof.
Miyuki: He's right. Don't you think you're jumping to conclusions?
[Miyuki and Canaan resume their break-in activities.]
Shion: I hope so. If I'm wrong, everyone can live in peace. But we
need to make sure. We need to know what they intend to
accomplish with the U.M.N. What their ultimate goal is.
Miyuki: Huh? Shion, there's something weird.
Shion: "Something"? I've told you time and again to make precise
reports.
Miyuki: Well, there's a strange fluctuation in the particle flow.
It started about 300 seconds ago. Looks like a fractal
pattern. I think someone or something's trying to interfere
with us.
Shion: Is it a pursuit craft, or the cyber surveillance system?
Canaan: No. There hasn't been any physical contact from
macrophages-- And there's no sign that the jamming of the
surveillance network has been broken. It's like someone's
watching, no, studying us.
[Shion crosses her arms, deep in thought.]
Shion: Studying us? Who? Why?
Miyuki: There's no way for me to tell.
Shion: How's that data coming?
Canaan: Just a little more.
Shion: Hurry. It's dangerous to stay here much longer.
[Suddenly, the blue monolith nearest the group begins glowing red.]
--------------------
Chapter 1 - S-Line Division - Gnosis [1SD-4]
------------------------------------ -------
[Something has triggered an alarm in the system. Miyuki looks up at the
glowing red monolith. Canaan and Shion pause and look up as Miyuki starts to
warn them.]
Miyuki: Sh-Shion! I think it's a little too late for that now.
[Shion, Canaan and Miyuki watch as a Gnosis materializes in the monolith and
flies out of it. The large purple winged Gnosis circles the platform once,
then lands forcefully on the isolated platform the group is standing on. It
throws back its head and roars.]
--------------------
Chapter 1 - S-Line Division - Escape [1SD-5]
------------------------------------ -------
[Miyuki, Canaan and Shion stand watching as the Gnosis falls off the platform,
a large cloud of dust or debris marking its landing. Shion has one hand up to
her mouth in thought, and Miyuki has both hands to her mouth in worry. They
look up the high ceiling of the Main Terminal room, where dozens of Azazel
and Gremlin Gnosis begin shifting through. Canaan makes a dash for the exit.
Miyuki screams and runs to grab Shion, who had been just standing there in
wonderment.]
Miyuki: Shion!
[Shion and Miyuki, running from the edge of the platform, are just missed by
a Goblin Gnosis as it lands. An Azazel Gnosis bears down on them from above.
Suddenly the Gnosis explodes. Doctus's A.M.W.S. pulls up alongside the
group as they run.]
Doctus: Shion, we're getting out of here. Realian, you're with me!
[Doctus turns and fires a shot off at another Gnosis. Shion pulls out the
same device she used earlier, as she runs. She pushes a button on it. E.S.
Dinah is summoned.]
Shion: Transfer E.S.!
[Canaan climbs into the A.M.W.S. and settles into the bottom seat, looking
mildly annoyed.]
Canaan: My name's Canaan! You should remember that by now.
[Doctus, in the top seat, smirks.]
Doctus: Sorry, didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I don't waste
brainpower on trivial things.
[Doctus's A.M.W.S. launches off the platform. Miyuki awkwardly tries to climb
into the bottom seat of Dinah. Shion, already strapped into the top seat,
starts lifting off before Miyuki is in completely. Miyuki makes a small noise
of worry.]
Shion: This is gonna be a little bumpy. Hold on tight!]
Miyuki: Wait. What? Shion!
[Miyuki is slow to get into the seat properly. Shion doesn't waste time
waiting when the Gnosis are so close, so as she takes off, Miyuki falls head
first into the seat. The hatch closes around her. Her legs are flailing
where her head would normally be. She screams. Dinah soars gracefully
through the air, pulling ahead of Doctus's A.M.W.S. and leading the way
through a tunnel. Doctus turns slightly to look at the Gremlin Gnosis giving
chase. Doctus's A.M.W.S. fires shots backwards from its hip at the Gnosis,
hitting one and then the other. The tunnel starts twisting and turning.
Doctus's A.M.W.S. catches up to Dinah. Shion gasps suddenly. Before her is a
vision of a young boy with golden eyes and brown hair, tied back. He is
wearing a white uniform. Far ahead of the group, a gate begins to close.
Shion grits her teeth and narrows her eyes. She hears a voice in her mind
that sounds... suspiciously like Nephilim. She gasps.]
Voice: (No. Don't shoot.)
[The closing gates slow considerably with a jerking motion, then begin to open
again.]
Shion: Miyuki! Hurry up, disconnect now!
[Both units pass through the gate, then the screen turns fuzzy, ripples, and
fades out.]
-------------------
Chapter 1 - S-Line Division - Mission Complete [1SD-6]
---------------------------------------------- -------
Shion: That one was a little too close for comfort.
Miyuki: Are you all right, Shion? Whoa, you look pretty sexy!
Shion: Miyuki... you're starting to sound like a dirty old man.
--------------------
Chapter 1 - S-Line Division - A Conversation [1SD-7]
-------------------------------------------- -------
Miyuki: Well, we completed our mission.
Shion: Although someone made it more complicated than it should've
been.
Miyuki: Oh, come on, Shion. I promise it won't happen again.
Shion: Anyway, how's the data? Don't tell me we lost it in the
end.
Canaan: It's fine. The backup completed with .002 nanoseconds to
spare.
Shion: Good.
Doctus: Not bad, former Chief of Vector's First Division. You and
your brother are both good.
Shion: The translation method was sloppy and a bit lagging, but
thanks to you, we made it.
Doctus: I'm going to start analyzing the backed up data. I'll let
you know if I find anything -- along with that other thing
you asked.
Shion: Thanks.
Doctus: Start the data transfer, Realian.
Canaan: It's Canaan. You seem to have a defect in your memory.
Doctus: Errare humanum est.
Miyuki: Um, uh, Shion, you aren't mad, are you?
Shion: No. Everything turned out all right. I don't make a habit
of fussing over details.
Miyuki: Oh, good!
Shion: No, it's not good. I'm sending you text on basic structure
later and I want you to answer them.
Miyuki: Aww, again?
Shion: Your method is unable to adapt to the language because you
skipped the basics during assembly.
Miyuki: Yes, ma'am. Shion, is what we are doing really okay?
Shion: You're asking me now? You're the one who demanded we let
you help.
Miyuki: I mean, well, what we're doing is a crime.
Shion: Yes, but that was before the Gnosis terrorism. We know that
the Gnosis phenomenon is symbiotically linked to the U.M.N.
So the U.M.N. as it stands now is dangerous. Just like
Doctus said, Gnosis may not have been called by Professor
Mizrahi, and the U-TIC Organization or even the Immigrant
Fleet, but rather Vector, the constructor of the U.M.N. If
that's true, there may be an ulterior motive in KOS-MOS's
development as well.
Miyuki: Is that why you're having Scientia investigate the Miltian
Conflict? Because your father might have been involved?
Shion: I don't know for certain... but I think someone has to do
something. And I don't want KOS-MOS to suffer.
Miyuki: Shion, you still can't forget about her?
Shion: ...
Miyuki: You quit the company without any hesitation, so I thought
you'd be over it by now.
Shion: It takes a lot of courage to renounce everything you've
worked for.
Miyuki: Anyway, if there's any developments over here, I'll let you
know.
Shion: Right. But be careful. You're in more danger than the rest
of us since you are where you are.
Miyuki: Oh, Shion, stop trying to scare me.
Shion: Nephilim, you're still--
Shion: That's happening a lot lately. I wonder if I'm just worn
out.

Chapter 1 - Pedea Island - Mail from Allen [1PI-1]
------------------------------------------ -------
Allen: Ah, um, uh, I guess it's been a while, Chief. Um, actually,
this is pretty difficult to tell you, but... at a staff
meeting a few days ago, they officially decided to
cancel... First Division's KOS-MOS development project.
Actually, it's being transferred to the military, so the
project itself isn't going away, but the military is going
to oversee the development of a new model, so the KOS-MOS
unit development will come to a close at the end of this
month. Togashi and I have the misfortune of being
transferred to the military along with it. The decision was
sudden, so we're all scrambling to organize the data we've
accumulated. Though, all of us are pretty down since you've
left. So, now I'm on Fifth Jerusalem, where the project is
being transferred to. Would you like to come and visit us?
Everyone misses you. I'm sure even KOS-MOS-- Well, she's
anti-social as usual, so I don't know what she thinks, but
I bet she misses you, too. I'll await your answer. I hope
to see you soon, Chief, our Flower of First Division.
Shion: Well, he's certainly learned how to talk smoothly. I can't
believe it's been six months already.
--------------------
Chapter 1 - Pedea Island - Day She Left Vector [1PI-2]
---------------------------------------------- -------
Allen: Chief! Wait, calm down! Please, tell me why--
Shion: Weren't you listening to what I just said?
Allen: I was listening. I heard what you said, but what do you
mean, you're quitting? Upper management has yet to make a
dicision.
Shion: I can't just stay on as Chief like nothing happened after
causing an incident like that.
Allen: You mean the Gnosis terrorism, right? It was that Grimoire
guy who caused it. There's no reason for you to take
responsibility for it. You haven't been accused of anything
yet. You don't have to resign.
Shion: KOS-MOS will be sealed and placed under observation and I'm
responsible for it. It may be irresponsible to leave in the
middle of development, but I can't stay at Vector.
Allen: She's only being sealed temporarily, and-- Wait, Chief!
Shion: Allen, please take care of KOS-MOS and everyone.
Allen: Please, give it a second thought!
Shion: I'm sorry.
Allen: Chief...

Chapter 1 - Pedea Island - Memories of Days Past [1PI-3]
------------------------------------------------ -------
Shion: A female form?
Kevin: Yes. Since ancient times women always healed people's
hearts and granted them hope.
Shion: But there've been a lot of men who were healers, too.
Kevin: Historical records have always been compiled from a male
point of view. And besides, men are creatures capable of
nothing but destruction and conquest. It's important to
choose a female form when it's going to be a creator or
protector.
Shion: Heh heh heh.
Kevin: Did I say something strange?
Shion: No, it's just funny to see you with a gentle expression
while you lecture with such intensity.
Kevin: Really?
Shion: Why did you decide to make KOS-MOS, Kevin? Is it to protect
humanity?
Kevin: Well... it's true that Gnosis are a grave threat to
mankind's existence. So wanting to protect people from that
threat is part of it. But more than that, there's something
much stronger inside me.
Shion: Stronger?
Kevin: Everything exists for a reason. If the Gnosis represents a
truth we haven't known before, then I want to know what
that is.
Shion: The truth about Gnosis.
Kevin: I think that may actually be the shortcut to saving this
universe.
Shion: I know you can do it, Kevin. You'll build KOS-MOS and
you'll find that meaning.
--------------------
Chapter 1 - Pedea Island - Resolve [1PI-4]
---------------------------------- -------
Shion: So, they've canceled the project. It's my fault. Kevin
would be sad. Everything is unfinished. I'm sure even
KOS-MOS won't be satisfied. No, I'm the one who's not
satisfied. I can't go on leaving things unfinished like
this. I have to go see KOS-MOS.
--------------------
Chapter 1 - Pedea Island - Wilhelm [1PI-5]
---------------------------------- -------
Red Testament: It appears part of the S-Line Division data leaked.
Wilhelm: It's her handiwork. It seems she's working very hard.
Red Testament: The leak includes information about that program.
Wilhelm: It doesn't matter. They have little power. Actually, it's
all rather endearing. They think their cage is the entire
world, and they believe they can change it. Let's just
watch over them for a while. But enough of that. How did
things go at Rennes-le-Château? Is everything ready?
Red Testament: Everything is proceeding as planned. The transport to Fifth
Jerusalem is complete. We're ready for the Zohar Project
demonstration. Do you intend to leave that location as is?
Wilhelm: Yes. Ormus needs a sign that they can see with their own
eyes. As long as they have their proof, they will continue
to sacrifice themselves to protect their idol. For that is
the source of their hope. There isn't much time left for
her, as well. Contact with KOS-MOS has taken its toll on
her. You must succeed this time.
Red Testament: I understand. I will tend to her myself.
Wilhelm: She emits good wavelength, just as you said.
Red Testament: Thank you.

Chapter 1 - Gedalya Space - Juli and Canaan [1GS-1]
------------------------------------------- -------
Juli: This is awful.
Helmer: Yes. This battle resulted in the destruction of the 87th
Division fleet. Now the Michtam system has, for all
practical purposes, fallen under Ormus control.
Juli: And so history repeats itself. It's the exact same
situation as one hundred years ago.
Helmer: As long as people have self-preservation instincts, there
will always be conflicts. The consciousness that makes us
who we are is an inseparable part of life. Only death
awaits people who abandon their human nature.
Juli: So everything is dictated by the laws of nature? That does
sound like you, Helmer. But even that is in danger of being
destroyed by the Gnosis. If things continue on like this--
Helmer: That's what the Zohar Project is for. I hear that the
Tactical Warship Merkabah is already complete.
Juli: According to the remaining fragments of the Y-Data, the
Merkabah, just like the Proto Merkabah, is a device that
existed since ancient times. And Dmitri decided to turn it
into a weapon. When Albedo obtained the Y-Data from MOMO's
subconscious domain, Dmitri obtained it as well by some
unknown method.
Helmer: That bastard Dmitri! Who would've thought he would use
Joachim's dark relics? This must be hard on you.
Juli: I'm more worried about how MOMO would feel if she learned
about this. I can't bear to see her sad.
Helmer: You're a good mother.
Juli: Well, I'm trying.
Helmer: I'm sorry, but I will need you to keep an eye on Dmitri a
little while longer.
Juli: Isn't this sort of job your specialty?
Helmer: Perhaps in the past. Now, I'm the Miltian Representative. I
can't make any moves out in the open. Just restraining the
Salvator faction in Parliament keeps my hands full.
Juli: You have my sympathy. Farewell.
Canaan: Are you busy?
Juli: Canaan. No, it's fine. Have you found any information about
the object?
Canaan: This is what it looks like under the U.M.N. resonating
telescope at maximum magnification. According to the
information we obtained unofficially from Vector, this
object is called Rennes-le-Château. There's no way to prove
this, but apparently, it's a landmass that belonged to Lost
Jerusalem.
Juli: Even if, as you say, this is in fact a relic of Lost
Jerusalem, why has it appeared now?
Canaan: There is also a record of an unusual number of Gnosis
appearing in that region of space. Ormus appears interested
in it as well. There's likely to be some connection. The
only way to obtain more data on it is to make direct
contact with the target. What do you propose about
assembling an expedition team?
Juli: I've already commissioned the Kukai Foundation. This isn't
public due to the number of Ormus members in the military
and Parliament.
Canaan: A wise decision.
Juli: Was Shion doing well?
Canaan: Yes, she seemed fine. Though I am not sure if I approve of
her new associates.
Juli: Ah, Scientia. Their technical skills are impressive. Vector
has been acting suspiciously since the Gnosis terrorism.
We'll use anything we can in order to find the truth. Even
outlaws. Please continue your investigation on the U.M.N.
It must be difficult for you since you were born at Vector,
but there's no one else I can ask.
Canaan: I'm currently under the jurisdiction of the Miltian
government. And I've also received orders from
Representative Helmer to cooperate with you. Do not worry
about me.
Juli: Thank you.

Gaignun: The Parliament and the military both have their hands full
dealing with Ormus. And we can't ignore a request from
Committee Member Mizrahi.
Jr.: Nah, don't worry about it. We're getting bored anyway.
It'll be a nice change of pace. Right?
Mary: That's right!
Shelley: It's unofficial, but we have information that an Ormus
fleet is headed there as well.
Jr.: Either there's something there that Ormus needs, or maybe--
Gaignun: Just because we don't know what it is, doesn't mean they
don't.
Jr.: Either way, if we make direct contact, we're sure to find
out something. Right?
Gaignun: I envy your attitude. But I wish you'd think a little more
about my position.
Mary: Oh, well, that's the Little Master for you.
Gaignun: The matter is surrounded by sensitive political issues. If
I could, I'd go with you, but I can't leave Fifth Jerusalem
for a while. Take care of the place while I'm gone, you
two. If he gives you any trouble, don't hesitate to scold
him.
Mary: You got it!
Shelley: Understood.
Jr.: Like he really envies me. He's dumped all the hard stuff on
us. I'm going to make him write all the reports when this
is done.
Mary: Little Master, are you really going to be okay with just
the Elsa? Wouldn't it be a good idea for us to go, too?
Jr.: Don't worry. It's just gonna be reconnaissance, so Elsa's
small size is better suited. Just keep the Durandal in the
back for support. Anyway, we've got E.S.s. There's nothing
to worry about.
Shelley: Little Master, I don't mean to dampen your enthusiasm, but
large scale Gnosis appearances have been detected in that
region of space. Please take appropriate caution.
Jr.: I know. We're almost there. I'll contact you later.

Pellegri: Margulis, I've put Richard and Hermann in charge of dealing
with the Federation fleet moving towards Rennes-le-Château.
Margulis: They seem to be highly compatible with the Vessels of
Anima.
Pellegri: Yes. The Federation will be unable to offer any real
resistance against E.S. craft. This should keep them quiet
for a while.
Margulis: Hmm.
Pellegri: What's wrong? You're not yourself. Are you feeling
sentimental after returning to our homeland?
Margulis: Pellegri, what do you see before you? Michtam, the
mummified world that spreads before our eyes. This is what
is left of the birthplace of Ormus.
Pellegri: A world destroyed eighteen years ago, by Federation
barbarians who foolishly unleashed the Zohar.
Margulis: Yes. It is our homeland, wiped from the records, in order
to cover up the Federation's mistakes.
Pellegri: But why are we here now? What lies on this world ruled by
death and Gnosis? Isn't our goal to return to Lost
Jerusalem?
Margulis: Everything is the will of Lord Heinlein. It is not for us
to know. He has stated that this world will rise again.
Then it must mean that it will. Already, Rennes-le-Château
has returned.
Pellegri: The holy land of Rennes-le-Château. Our cradle, which once
existed on Lost Jerusalem, where our blessed Saint sleeps.
Margulis: If the reappearance of the tomb heralds the revival of our
homeland, then we must protect our holy land at all costs.
Ormus Soldier: Reporting, sir! A Kukai Foundation vessel is approaching
the region in question. It appears to be a Lohengrin-class
freighter.
Margulis: Hm, Helmer's dogs. Perhaps I'll meet him again. Prepare the
Prodigium for launch! We're going to Rennes-le-Château!

Hammer: It's 70 kilometers in diameter. Unable to determine mass
due to abnormal gravitational fields.
Matthews: Still, these values seem to be rather unusual. I didn't
think anything this size could cause such a gravitational
disturbance.
Jin: Gravity roughly 1G around the object. But that seems rather
strange. Wait. W-What is this?
Jr.: Whoa! It looks like a large portion of land from somewhere.
Ziggy: It could even be the remains of a destructed planet.
Jin: No. The shape of the underside looks too uniform for that.
It appears to have been artificially cut away from its
original mass.
MOMO: Multiple unidentified craft are approaching!
Matthews: Tony!
Tony: Damn it!
Jr.: Is that Ormus?! It's nice of them to greet us! Captain,
continue your approach to the island and collect data! We
can handle these guys ourselves.
Matthews: Little Master! Now wait just a second!
Hammer: Is he telling us to go there by ourselves?!
Tony: No way in hell! We don't get any hazard pay!

paid to do!

What?!
Jin: A black E.S. Its agility...
Margulis: This swordsmanship... Uzuki!
Jin: I thought that was you, Colonel. This location must mean a
great deal, due to the fact that you've come all this way
here to join us.
Margulis: And what if it does? It's not a phenomenon you can handle
and you'll never understand its meaning. I'm going to send
you and your E.S.s right to your graves!

your ignorance! Now it's time for you to die!!
Jin: What's this?
Margulis: What?

MOMO: It's a space-time transfer. An anomaly has manifested
around the landmass. Imaginary number values increasing!

Margulis: You won't get away from me that easily, Uzuki! Do not
interfere!
Jin: Captain!

Margulis: They headed for the Holy Land! How dare they!
Heinlein: Let them go, Margulis.
Margulis: But, I... Your Eminence! How can you say that? The blessed
Saint sleeps in that land.
Heinlein: She is already in our possession. Even if they were able to
reach the place, there would be nothing for them to find
there.
Margulis: What was that?! Don't tell me you've already acted?
Heinlein: Yes. I have a new task for you! Return at once. Do you
understand?
Margulis: Yes, Your Eminence.
Jr.: Come back here, you bastard!
Margulis: Uzuki! Unfortunately, we'll have to settle this later. In
the meantime I want you to concentrate on saving your
friends. You have got to think of something to help them
out at this point. That is, if there is a way to help save
their poor souls.

Mary: No way! Besides, we didn't detect any explosions.
Shelley: Regardless of what happened, we won't be able to learn any
more from here. Let's hurry to Little Master's location.
Mary: Yeah. Hear that, Little Master? Wait just a little bit.
Jr.: Yeah, gotcha. Please hurry. Jin! How's it look over there?
Jin: I'm afraid the Reuben's sensors won't be able to show us
any more. We'll have to wait for the Durandal's arrival.

Chapter 2 - Opening - Flashback [2OP-2]
------------------------------- -------
Shion Narrative: One year has now passed since the battle in Old Miltian
space. Ever since the Zohar was swallowed up by the giant
Gnosis, the Gnosis phenomenon has increased in frequency,
and the people are now constantly exposed to its threat.
Yet, despite the large number of star systems that have
been destroyed by the Gnosis, people continue to resist,
refusing to cooperate with each other, and engaging in one
pointless conflict after another. I found myself full of
questions. I wanted to know more about the Immigrant
Fleet-- the organization that was behind the Miltian
Conflict-- as well as the words that were spoken by the
Patriarch Sergius. He said that the Ormus are the rightful
possessors of the Zohar, so I began to investigate. I
wanted to know more about the relationship between the
Miltian Conflict and the Zohar on my own. Six months ago, I
encountered a group of people called Scientia. I was able
to obtain their aid as I found myself becoming more and
more involved in an incident that revolved around a
mysterious program called Lemegeton. It turned out to be a
Zohar control program which was developed during the Lost
Jerusalem era. Its creator, Grimoire, continued to wander
the U.M.N. as a mental entity in search of a being. He was
searching for Nephilim, the girl in the white dress that
has appeared before me countless times. The existence of an
organization controlling Grimoire from the shadows came to
light: Vector's Special Technology Advancement Division.
This department, jointly managed by the government and
private industry, had been wiped from the records, but
there was no doubt it had been created by the Organization
I worked for. Vector also had contact with the U-TIC
Organization, and the U-TIC Organization was connected with
Ormus. But the evidence was concealed, and the truth had
been buried away into the darkness. Everything except for
one fact. I found out the name of the individual who was in
a lead position at that time in the management office. When
I saw the name, Suou Uzuki-- I felt nothing. No surprise,
no sadness, and no anger. To be honest, I felt nothing at
all. Somewhere in my heart, I think that I must have
expected it. All I could feel was a sense of resignation,
knowing that the inevitable had finally come to pass. And,
I decided to quit my job at Vector. The friends I made
there, and KOS-MOS... were the only bonds I had linking me
to Kevin, but I couldn't stand being there any longer.
Maybe I did it to atone for all of the victims. Maybe it
was to strike back at my late father, who had abandoned my
mother. No, it wasn't for either of those reasons. It was
probably that I--

Dmitri: I'm just having some trouble getting along with my son. I'm
fine. Please continue.

Chapter 2 - Dmitri Yuriev - Sellers's Intention [2DY-3]
----------------------------------------------- -------
Sellers: So, you've finally decided to come listen to me, Dmitri
Yuriev.
Dmitri: I see you're as unfriendly as ever, Sellers. I don't have
much time. Just tell me the results.
Sellers: You're as bad as Margulis. You "commanders" are so
inflexible. Anyway, the start-up experiment has already
succeeded. The problem is--
Dmitri: What?
Sellers: Look at these values.
Citrine: The pulse from the temporal lobe is unstable. Perhaps
there's a problem in the link with the pilot.
Sellers: This is based on the prototype recovered from the ruins of
Miltia. It was originally calibrated for an Ormus priest.
So these results are unsurprising. Same as the power
supply. It was designed to match the Original Zohar.
Currently, we're operating it using the spare emulator unit
I constructed, but because of it, the output is unstable,
and the link with the pilot is poor.
Dmitri: Are you saying it won't run?
Sellers: Exactly the opposite. It generates too much power, and
we're unable to stop it. Federation's technicians are no
fools, but Ormus is much more experienced in regards to
this. If we at least had Vector participating, the outcome
might have been a little different. Why did you remove them
from the project?
Dmitri: The Lemegeton incident. I'm sure you're aware they were
involved in it. I don't know what he's scheming, but I
can't allow him to gain top secret information.
Sellers: What about the alternative you're using in place of
KOS-MOS? Have you determined its origin? It may be another
Vector plot.
Dmitri: I have people working on that now. Even if it was, it's
still just an anti-Gnosis weapon. We'll just use it for our
own purpose. Now, give me an update on the Merkabah.
Sellers: No visible problems with that thing. We've already
completed the final calibration. Thanks to the Y-Data you
brought.
Dmitri: Did I hurt your pride?
Sellers: Take that how you like. But I hope you appreciate my work.
I painfully reconsctructed it by putting the fragments
together. It would almost have been faster to build it from
scratch. Of course, with the core in this condition, I
can't guarantee its safety.
Dmitri: There's not much time left before the demonstration. I
trust you'll have it ready by then.
Sellers: Of course. Otherwise, there'd be no point of me being here.
By the way, have you found an opponent? You're going to
need something impressive to fight this thing.
Citrine: Don't worry. That's already been arranged.
Sellers: Oh?
Dmitri: It's the perfect opponent to silence the fools that support
Vector.

Togashi: Big news! Big news! Hey, where's the new Chief?
VectorResearcher: If you're looking for Chief Ridgeley, he went out to the
city. He said he was meeting someone.
Togashi: A meeting? Oh, he must have gone to see Chief Uzuki. What
does he think he's doing at a time like this? He should
just tell her he's in love with her. He needs to make up
his mind and act.
VectorResearcher: By Uzuki, you mean Shion Uzuki, the former Chief? She took
responsibility for the Gnosis terrorist and resigned,
right? Was she Chief Ridgeley's girlfriend?
Togashi: What? If she were, he would be delirious. But reality is
harsh.
VectorResearcher: So, what's the big news? Did something happen?
Togashi: Oh, yeah. KOS-MOS is going to be the opponent for the new
weapon in the demonstration.
VectorResearcher: New weapon? You mean that--
Togashi: Yeah, that crazy thing. I guess they want to acquire real-
world combat data along with the activation test. But
they've sure got a lot of confidence to pick KOS-MOS as the
opponent.
VectorResearcher: Yeah, they may have removed her from the project, but she's
still ready for combat. Do they think they can win over
support if it defeats KOS-MOS?
Togashi: Yeah, I hear there's a lot of Vector-friendly Parliament
members in the government. It's probably a move to take
some wind out of that faction. I can't believe they're
using the product of our stress and caffeine as a political
tool. They'll learn not to mess with the Princess of First
Division. We're gonna send them packing. Dammit, we need to
get started on the calibration work right away! What the
hell is the new Chief doing at a time like this?!

than others. You're looking well, too, Chief.
Shion: Hey, could you stop using "Chief"? I'm no longer part of
Vector. You can call me Shion.
Allen: What? Oh, um, Shi-Shi-Shi- Chief... It's hard to change
what I call you after all this time.
Shion: Really? Seems easy enough to me. Well, whatever.
Allen: I've already got you a room on the uppoer floor, so go
ahead and settle in. When you're done, come back down. I'll
show you around town.
Shion: Hmm. There's a lot I want to talk about, so why don't you
come up with me?
Allen: Wh-what?! Go with you? The room is a double.

Shion: So, how are things? Is everyone doing well?
Allen: Yes, they're all fine. But they don't seem to be very happy
with the sudden decision to cancel the project. I'm not
happy about it either.
Shion: They didn't give any advance notice?
Allen: Nothing of the sort. Second Division had already begun the
next phase along with First Division, so they wound up
putting a lot of work to waste. Miyuki said they're all in
a really bad mood. The government is compensating our
financial losses, but they can't compensate us for the time
we spent on this project.
Shion: Is that really how Second Division feels and not how Miyuki
feels? That girl was so excited about KOS-MOS's weapons
development.
Allen: Hmm? Who is it?
Miyuki: Hi, Allen. Is Shion there yet? Oh, there you are.
Shion: "Oh"? Is that all you have to say to your former coworker
after not seeing her for six months?
Miyuki: Six months? We just met last--
Shion: Six months ago. Remember?
Miyuki: Oh, uh, yeah, right. Has it really been that long?
Allen: Huh?
Shion: Ah, um, nothing. I can't believe Miyuki lost track of time!
Miyuki: Yeah, I guess time just flew by. Anyway I bet you're happy,
Allen, since you're all alone in a hotel room with Shion.
Are you planning to enjoy some "quality time" with her
after this?
Allen: Wha-wha-what are you talking about?!
Miyuki: Hehehe, I hit the nail on the head, huh?
Allen: Wh-what are you talking about? I-I-I'm not that kind of
guy! Jeez!
Miyuki: Ooo, a little nervous stutter? Men are such animals!
Shion: You two. Miyuki, did you have some reason for calling
Allen?
Miyuki: Oh, yeah. I'm going to need the necessary weapon details by
tonight.
Allen: Weapons? For what?
Miyuki: For KOS-MOS, of course. Didn't Togashi tell you? There's
going to be a public demonstration to show off that new
weapon tomorrow. And KOS-MOS is going to be a part of it.
Rumor is, she's going up against it.
Allen: What?! This is the first I've heard about it! Besides, I've
already taken today off, and--
Miyuki: What are you talking about? Please send the details by this
evening. It takes time to put these things together, you
know. Anyway, that's how it goes, so good luck, Chief
Ridgeley.
Allen: W-wait a minute!
Shion: Sounds like you're a pretty busy man, Chief Ridgeley.
Allen: Uh, yeah, I'm sorry. Looks like I have to get back to work.
I'd actually planned to show you a good time around town
after this, but--
Shion: Don't worry about it. Hey, do you think I can sit in on the
public demonstration tomorrow? I would love to see KOS-MOS
and everyone else, too. Think that'll be all right?
Allen: Oh. Sure, I'll ask the Director to let you observe as a
special advisor. Officially, you left the company on a
positive note, so I doubt there'll be any problems. I'll
come by and get you tomorrow.
Shion: Sounds good. Thanks.

are you on this planet?
chaos: Yeah, we just arrived. They made us wait quite a while
during entry. It was hard trying to calm down Jr.
Shion: Jr.'s with you? Then--
chaos: Yeah. We're all here. We came on the Durandal.
Shion: The Durandal? That's unusual for you. What happened to the
Elsa?
chaos: Umm...
Shion: chaos?
chaos: Actually, that's what I need to talk to you about.
Shion: Hmm?
chaos: Do you have some free time right now?
Shion: Huh? Sure, but is something wrong?
chaos: I'll head there now. Where do you want to meet?
Shion: How about the café near the Möbius Hotel?
chaos: Okay.

Chapter 2 - Fifth Jerusalem - Shion Collapses [2FJ-5]
--------------------------------------------- -------
News Reporter: Commodore Jose Xavier, commander of the Andras fleet
assigned to the Gedalya region, declared that his fleet had
engaged with the Ormus fleet in the region. It appears that
upon receiving this information, the Ormus fleet occupying
planet Michtam commenced military action towards the
Federation fleet in the region. The Andras fleet was sent
to investigate an asteroid that was recently discovered in
the Gedalya region. For days now, the Andras fleet has been
locked in a stalemate with the Ormus fleet, which claims
ownership of the asteroid. At present, it is unclear why
Ormus has dispatched a fleet to Gedalya space, which is
under Federation control. A spokesman for Ormus has stated
that they have no desire for combat. It is believed that
the Ormus fleet commenced military action after several of
its requests to the Andras fleet to leave the region were
ignored. After--
Shion: The Elsa's missing?!
chaos: We set out to investigate a floating object at the request
of the Subcommittee. But the U.M.N. in that region of space
suddenly shifted. We think they probably fell into an
imaginary pocket.
Shion: So, what happened to everyone?! Are they okay?
chaos: External communication's been cut off. We don't know what's
going on inside.
Shion: I see. Unfortunately, I can't be of much help. You probably
already know this, but I quit my job at Vector.
chaos: Yeah, I heard from Jin.
Shion: I'll try contacting Allen, but it sounds like KOS-MOS may
be mixed up in something else.
chaos: Ah, don't worry about it too much. Jr. said it wouldn't
hurt to ask. Anyway, I just wanted to let you in on what's
going on.
Shion: Sorry I can't be of more help.
News Reporter: Due to the acceleration of the Gnosis phenomenon, the
Galaxy Federation government has issued an evacuation order
to planetary governments in the outlying areas of Gnosis
activities. The Federation Government has issued a
statement that the Gnosis phenomenon that occurred last
month in Ogdoas space has resulted in the disappearance of
over 100 planetary governments in that region. The Galaxy
Federation government has established an emergency task
force and deployed A.G.W.S. to the regions in question, but
it is believed that it has not resulted in the reduction of
the phenomenon. But it is--
chaos: There are more incidents like this happening these days.
Shion: Jin's still on it, isn't he?
chaos: Yes. He's on the Durandal right now, helping out with the
Elsa's rescue.
Shion: I see.
chaos: Are you worried?
Shion: Well, maybe a little. But it's not like he'd listen to me.

Allen: Don't worry about it. Shall we go?
Shion: What's wrong? You're awfully quiet. Is something on your
mind?
Allen: Oh, uh, yeah. Something's been bothering me.
Shion: Huh? Sounds like something's up.
Allen: You know Dmitri Yuriev, right?
Shion: The former Parliament member? He's Jr.'s father, right?
What about him?
Allen: Well, the Contact Subcommittee is no longer in charge of
the Zohar Project. It's been transferred to the military
and is now headed by Dmitri Yuriev. The development of the
next-generation key unit in this mock battle is also under
his command.
Shion: The military took over from the Subcommittee? That sounds
pretty fishy.
Allen: Yes. I've heard a lot of ominous things about this next-
gen unit. I've also heard the KOS-MOS project was canceled
due to pressure from the government. I have a feeling
something bad is going on up there.
Shion: Yuriev was a very charismatic member of the Federation
Parliament, right?
Allen: I heard he also had the ears of the military.
Shion: So that's where the pressure came from. Still, what I did
had some weight on what happened with KOS-MOS. Don't you
think you're jumping to conclusions?
Allen: I'd like to think that, but--
Shion: You sound worried.

Allen: It's a major project for the military-industrial complex.
It's on a whole new scale now. Oh, someone's calling me.
Togashi: Chief! Where are you? If you don't hurry up, you'll miss
KOS-MOS's performance.
Allen: Oh, don't worry. We're already inside the facility.
Togashi: Then Chief Uzuki is with you?
Allen: Yeah, she's right beside--
Togashi: Man, you go shoving work onto me, and now you're standing
there grinning--
Allen: Wh-I'm not grinning!
Togashi: I'm kidding. Don't take it so seriously. Anyway, just leave
things over here to me. You two enjoy the show. Now, don't
try to pull anything just because you're alone with her.
Allen: Wh-shut up! What are you talking about?!
Shion: Heh heh heh heh!
Allen: Now you're laughing, too!
Shion: Sorry. It's just, none of you have changed at all.
Allen: Now you're making fun of me, too.

Chapter 2 - CAT Testing Ground - T-elos's Demonstration [2CG-3]
------------------------------------------------------- -------
Shion: That's the exercise area? It's larger than I expected. It's
almost like an army bombing range.
Allen: Yes. They're promoting it as an activation test along with
a mock battle that's very close to real combat, but...
Togashi thinks it's a demonstration by the Salvator
faction. If funding gets approved, the military intends to
start mass production of the new unit immediately.
Announcer: We will now begin the startup test and mock battle
performance of the new model anti-Gnosis humanoid fighting
system. Now, for this test we will be using a mock battle
form, limiting output to 36% of normal.
Shion: That's... KOS-MOS?!
Allen: Are you surprised? She looks just like KOS-MOS. Development
code TP-XX, also known as T-elos. The ultimate, finished
unit. A startling advancement in science, as they say.
Shion: T-elos. So, this is the source of your worries?
Allen: Yeah, well, that's half of it. She's one-half of the new
anti-Gnosis weapon system that was brought in to replace
KOS-MOS as the core of the Zohar Project.
Shion: Half? Wait a minute. I don't understand. You mean there's
another one?
Allen: Yes. This one's fine. The problem lies with the other one.
Well, soon you'll understand. But don't be surprised if it
shocks you when you see it.
Shion: Those are Gnosis! And there's so many of them. But why are
they here?!
Allen: The military requisitioned them from Vector for this
demonstration. Although, Chief, I believe that you would
know more about that than me.
Shion: Gnosis! Gnosis seized by Vector!
Shion: Amazing! Her speed is incredible!
Allen: According to the specs, both her reaction time and Hilbert
strength are three times KOS-MOS's combat frame. She's the
Galaxy Federation's trump card.

might be able to guess based on how the code's written, but
the environment's proprietary, and we can't get anywhere
close to it. Oh, that over there is Roth Mantel, the man in
