I've just had a revelation while looking at this dog.[ST:n ]Will you hear me out?[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
tev000992_MSG0003 |
Despite the valiant efforts of the Interceptors division,[ST:n ]indigens remain as persistent a threat as ever.[ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
tev000992_MSG0004 |
The gates of New LA have stood strong so far,[ST:n ]but they are by no means impregnable.[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
tev000992_MSG0005 |
You know the dog guardian statues of the East?[ST:n ]I think we should install one on either side of the gates,[ST:n ]thereby warding off beasts with the Buddha's power.[ST:wait ] |
| 6 |
|
qev000992_JNK0010 |
Agree |
| 7 |
|
qev000992_SEL0011 |
Say that guardian statues should be installed. |
| 8 |
|
qev000992_JNK0020 |
Disagree |
| 9 |
|
qev000992_SEL0021 |
Correct his ideas about the statues. |
| 10 |
|
tev000992_MSG0006 |
I knew you would perceive the wisdom of my plan![ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
tev000992_MSG0007 |
Then our first step should be researching eastern texts[ST:n ]to learn how these statues are engineered.[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
tev000992_MSG0008 |
...Hmm? Yes, engineered. Guardian dogs are powerful[ST:n ]defensive weapons that have protected temples since[ST:n ]ancient times.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
tev000992_MSG0009 |
They repel invaders by emitting blinding beams of[ST:n ]divine lights from their mouths. ...Er, right?[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
tev000992_MSG0010 |
Hmm... It seems from the look on your face that I may[ST:n ]have misunderstood their specific defensive capabilities.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
tev000992_MSG0011 |
...What? The statues are mere superstition, you say?[ST:n ]And they aren't even dogs, but lions?[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
tev000992_MSG0012 |
Lions... I see... Well, I suppose placing lions at[ST:n ]defensively significant locations is equally inspired.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
tev000992_MSG0013 |
Truly, the mysticism of the East is beyond compare![ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
tev000992_MSG0014 |
I thank you for your correction, and bow to your[ST:n ]extensive knowledge of the subject.[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
tev000992_MSG0015 |
I am always looking for ways to harness the power of[ST:n ]the Buddha to New LA's benefit.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
tev000992_MSG0016 |
Sadly, I haven't yet found a good way of doing so.[ST:n ]Perhaps this sort of thing is not my forte.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
tev000992_MSG0017 |
Ah, but it might be yours![ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
tev000992_MSG0018 |
Well then? How can we illuminate this city with the[ST:n ]light and love of the Buddha?[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev000992_JNK0030 |
Propose |
| 24 |
|
qev000992_SEL0031 |
Suggest building a giant Buddha at New LA's center. |
| 25 |
|
qev000992_JNK0040 |
Correct |
| 26 |
|
qev000992_SEL0041 |
Fill your heart with love and[ST:n ]tell Bozé that is not the way. |
| 27 |
|
tev000992_MSG0019 |
Oh ho! Now that is a grand idea. Better yet, let's build[ST:n ]it as a giant Skell that can move and fight as needed![ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
tev000992_MSG0020 |
Then it can serve as the city's guardian both literally[ST:n ]AND figuratively![ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
tev000992_MSG0021 |
I'd better go find Secretary Nagi and Commander[ST:n ]Vandham and propose this to them directly.[ST:n ]We will call it...Project N.I.R.V.A.N.A![ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
tev000992_MSG0022 |
And once the mega-Buddha Skell N.I.R.V.A.N.A.[ST:n ]is complete, I want you to be my co-pilot in the[ST:n ]defense of New LA.[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
tev000992_MSG0023 |
Oh... Just now, as the light cast a halo behind you,[ST:n ]I saw a vision of the Buddha upon your face.[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
tev000992_MSG0024 |
But of course. That's my answer. The Buddha's path[ST:n ]is not about physical things—it's about finding[ST:n ]enlightenment within each of us.[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
tev000992_MSG0025 |
What a fool I've been! We never needed such things[ST:n ]as lions and dogs and statues![ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
tev000992_MSG0026 |
Thank you. I will remember this teaching of the Buddha[ST:n ]forever, and use it to protect New LA by pulverizing[ST:n ]all who would stand against us.[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
tev000992_MSG0027 |
And I'll be counting on you to watch over me with that[ST:n ]uncanny, Buddha-like gaze.[ST:wait ] |
