1 xs05140100_MSG0001 Welcome back.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
2 xs05140100_MSG0002 So...how's that new left arm feeling?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
3 xs05140100_JNK0010 Reassure
4 xs05140100_SEL0011 Check your arm and nod approvingly.
5 xs05140100_JNK0020 Worry
6 xs05140100_SEL0021 Check your arm and shake your head.
7 xs05140100_MSG0003 Man, what a relief.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
8 xs05140100_MSG0004 You're lucky Lin was with us.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
9 xs05140100_MSG0005 If she hadn't acted as fast as she did, you might have[ST:n ]bled out entirely. We could have lost your whole unit.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
10 xs05140100_MSG0006 Aw, it was nothing...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
11 xs05140100_MSG0007 Hmm... That's strange.[ST:n ]The analytical scans didn't pick up any major problems.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
12 xs05140100_MSG0008 We know your fluids are circulating properly,[ST:n ]and it looks like you can definitely control your fingers.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
13 xs05140100_MSG0009 You SHOULD be back to normal...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
14 xs05140100_MSG0010 If Lin says the scans check out, I'm sure it'll be fine.[ST:n ]It can take some time to re-adjust.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
15 xs05140100_MSG0011 It's kind of like phantom limb syndrome, just in reverse.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
16 xs05140100_MSG0012 That must be it.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
17 xs05140100_MSG0013 You DID just have the operation...[ST:n ]Sadly, there's nothing I can do to speed up the sync process.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
18 xs05140100_MSG0014 Just give it a little time—you'll see.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
19 xs05140100_MSG0015 Before we go any further, I wanted to apologize.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
20 xs05140100_MSG0016 I should've realized you might've forgotten about this, but...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
21 xs05140100_MSG0017 As you've probably noticed, the body you're inhabiting[ST:n ]is artificial. We call them \"mimeosomes.\"[ST:wait ][ST:n ][ST:n ]
22 xs05140100_MSG0018 \"Mims,\" for short.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
23 xs05140100_MSG0019 Mimeosomes are designed to mimic[ST:n ]human physiology as much as possible.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
24 xs05140100_MSG0020 The whole point is for us to forget about them.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
25 xs05140100_MSG0021 That way we can still enjoy the things we love—like cooking![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
26 xs05140100_MSG0022 We're all like this—every single crew member[ST:n ]that escaped on the White Whale.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
27 xs05140100_MSG0023 All of us are mims.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
28 xs05140100_MSG0024 But why would friends all become robots?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
29 xs05140100_MSG0025 Well, just think about it:[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
30 xs05140100_MSG0026 It could've taken decades to find a new planet to call home...[ST:n ]or even centuries. We had no idea.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
31 xs05140100_MSG0027 Who would want to crew the ship if they knew[ST:n ]they were going to grow old or die along the way?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
32 xs05140100_MSG0028 Mmm... Tatsu see Linly point.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
33 xs05140100_MSG0029 Our actual bodies are waiting in the Lifehold,[ST:n ]in stasis with all the human passengers.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
34 xs05140100_MSG0030 We control our mimeosomes remotely from there.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
35 xs05140100_MSG0031 So you see?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
36 xs05140100_MSG0032 That's why it's so important for us to find and protect[ST:n ]the Lifehold. Our lives are on the line here, too.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
37 xs05140100_MSG0033 If the Lifehold were to stop functioning[ST:n ]for any reason while we're still there in stasis...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
38 xs05140100_MSG0034 ...Everyone, including every mim in New LA,[ST:n ]would drop dead on the spot.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
39 xs05140100_MSG0035 That reminds me—something else you should know:[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
40 xs05140100_MSG0036 It's possible for us to switch to another mimeosome[ST:n ]if these bodies fail or become too badly damaged.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
41 xs05140100_MSG0037 But the process requires equipment from the Lifehold Core,[ST:n ]the central unit of the whole operation.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
42 xs05140100_MSG0038 Meh-meh! So what if Ganglion or big beastie[ST:n ]smash friends' robot mims?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
43 xs05140100_MSG0039 We wouldn't be able to come back yet.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
44 xs05140100_MSG0040 For now, we need to consider these mims[ST:n ]as precious as we would our real, actual bodies.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
45 xs05140100_MSG0041 Don't get reckless out there just 'cause you're in a mimeosome.[ST:n ]That's an order, you hear?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
46 xs05140100_MSG0042 One last thing...and I need to trust you all to keep this quiet.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
47 xs05140100_MSG0043 It's sensitive info, so HQ has only been telling team leaders[ST:n ]about it. We can't have a panic on our hands.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
48 xs05140100_MSG0044
49 xs05140100_MSG0045 The readout on BLADE Tower... You've seen it?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
50 xs05140100_MSG0046 It's not some kind of special clock or anything like that.[ST:n ]It's a countdown.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
51 xs05140100_MSG0047 Big number counts down to what?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
52 xs05140100_MSG0048 The Lifehold shutting down.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
53 xs05140100_MSG0049 What?![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
54 xs05140100_MSG0050 The Lifehold lost its power source when we lost the[ST:n ]White Whale. It's been running on backup ever since.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
55 xs05140100_MSG0051 We need to locate the Lifehold AND get a power source[ST:n ]in place by the time that percentage reaches zero.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
56 xs05140100_MSG0052 And...if we don't?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
57 xs05140100_MSG0053 These bodies will no longer sustain us.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
58 xs05140100_MSG0054 We'll die.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
59 xs05140100_MSG0055 Not just die, Lin. Die out.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
60 xs05140100_MSG0056 It would mean the end of the human race as we know it. [ST:n ]The end of everything.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
61 xs05140100_MSG0057 Well, on that cheerful note...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
62 xs05140100_MSG0058 Okay, Rook.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
63 xs05140100_MSG0058_2 You good to go?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
64 xs05140100_MSG0059 Then let's report back to HQ.[ST:n ]I'm sure the Commander will want to hear about this himself.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
65 xs05140100_MSG0060 Right.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
66 xs05140100_MSG9000 —Mimeosome Maintenance Center—[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
