We Orphe possess regenerative properties far beyond[ST:n ]those of your species.[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
tev072701_MSG0002 |
If we were to lose a limb or two, we would regrow it[ST:n ]by the next day.[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
tev072701_MSG0003 |
Unlike your people, we have no need for replacement[ST:n ]parts. It is an extremely convenient trait to possess.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
tev072701_MSG0004 |
Would you care to see a demonstration?[ST:n ]Feel free to grab an arm and tear it off.[ST:n ]The new one will begin growing at once.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
tev072701_MSG0005 |
I think you'll find it to be quite the fascinating[ST:n ]phenomenon.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |

tev072701_MSG0010 |
A BLADE called Julius has been a big help to me since[ST:n ]I arrived at this city. But...[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
tev072701_MSG0011 |
Well, he seemed quite interested in the way our Ovah[ST:n ]protects our bodies.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
tev072701_MSG0012 |
He was constantly trying to convince me to provide him[ST:n ]with a blood sample. It made me rather uncomfortable.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
tev072701_MSG0013 |
Of course, I respect our alliance with your people,[ST:n ]and would be happy to provide you with anything that[ST:n ]I can give.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
tev072701_MSG0014 |
But this is the one thing I cannot part with.[ST:n ]The Ovah that flows through our blood is everything[ST:n ]that makes us Orphe who we are.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
tev072701_MSG1001 |
We Orphe possess regenerative properties far beyond[ST:n ]those of your species.[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
tev072701_MSG1002 |
If we were to lose a limb or two, we would regrow[ST:n ]it by the next day.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
tev072701_MSG1003 |
I wish I could tear off one of my arms to show you[ST:n ]how it works.[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
tev072701_MSG1004 |
But Julius and I have agreed that we Orphe should[ST:n ]avoid spilling our blood needlessly.[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
tev072701_MSG1005 |
If, in some strange fluke, another xenoform were to[ST:n ]absorb our blood and our Ovah, it could be extremely[ST:n ]dangerous.[ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
tev072701_MSG1010 |
My people have never spoken of our blood to beings[ST:n ]from another world before.[ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
tev072701_MSG1011 |
Our Ovah is so sacred to us that the idea of[ST:n ]outsiders meddling with it is almost unimaginable.[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
tev072701_MSG1012 |
But if we withhold detailed information about[ST:n ]ourselves from each other, then our hands will be[ST:n ]tied when we need to resolve incidents like this one.[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
tev072701_MSG1013 |
So I will put my trust in you, and provide information[ST:n ]about our blood to Julius.[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
tev072701_MSG1014 |
Please do not betray this trust. The information I'm[ST:n ]providing contains literally everything that defines who[ST:n ]we Orphe are.[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
tev072701_MSG1019 |
I don't know where he heard of it,[ST:n ]but a Nopon asked me for Ovah.[ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
tev072701_MSG1020 |
Theoretically, the Ovah should not be able to establish[ST:n ]compatibility with a lifeform unless its structure is[ST:n ]extremely primitive.[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
tev072701_MSG1021 |
Still, it is hard to view the Nopon as higher lifeforms.[ST:n ]Perhaps there is some danger they may actually[ST:n ]be compatible...[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
tev072701_MSG1022 |
Hmmm. I think the best course is to tell them that,[ST:n ]during division, our life savings are halved as well.[ST:n ]That should put them off of trying to emulate us.[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
tev072701_MSG1023 |
I hate to lie, but I will do what I must to protect our[ST:n ]Ovah. I would be most grateful if you would back me[ST:n ]up on that story.[ST:wait ] |
