1 xs12080100_MSG0001 Then...the old tales have come to pass...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
2 xs12080100_MSG0002 Even the Vita...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
3 xs12080100_MSG0003 Even the Great One's own vessel, bested by these primates...[ST:n ]It's absolutely sickening![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
4 xs12080100_MSG0004 The bigger they come, the harder they fail.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
5 xs12080100_MSG0005 We came here to ensure the survival of the human race.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
6 xs12080100_MSG0006 The will to live is stronger than the will to destroy, Luxaar.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
7 xs12080100_MSG0006_2 That is why you lost here today.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
8 xs12080100_MSG0007 If only...I could see Him...the Great One...one last—[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
9 xs12080100_MSG0008 Is it...over?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
10 xs12080100_MSG0009 Sure looks that way.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
11 xs12080100_MSG0010 Lieutenant, we did it![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
12 xs12080100_MSG0011 First, Dance of Victory! Then, Linly's victory feast![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
13 xs12080100_MSG0012 Sure Tatsu, I'm game.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
14 xs12080100_MSG0013 Let us dance up a storm in any port![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
15 xs12080100_JNK0010 Celebrate
16 xs12080100_SEL0011 Revel in your victory.
17 xs12080100_JNK0020 Inquire
18 xs12080100_SEL0021 Ask Elma to continue her explanation[ST:n ]from before the battle.
19 xs12080100_MSG0014 You all fought hard to earn this. You, Lin...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
20 xs12080100_MSG0015 Everyone.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
21 xs12080100_MSG0016 Elma forgot Tatsu! Tatsu was key player![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
22 xs12080100_MSG0017 Sorry Tatsu, I just assumed that was a given.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
23 xs12080100_MSG0018 Oh, please...it was nothing.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
24 xs12080100_MSG0019 Pfft, yeah, in your case, it really WAS nothing.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
25 xs12080100_MSG0020 Colonel, if I may?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
26 xs12080100_MSG0021 Before the battle, what was that you were saying?[ST:n ]About the whole truth?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
27 xs12080100_MSG0022 Right... Let me explain.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
28 xs12080100_MSG0023 Hey, come on, lighten up![ST:n ]We just finally beat the Ganglion![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
29 xs12080100_MSG0024 Tatsu even wants to be part of the victory feast![ST:n ]Isn't that right, Tatsu?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
30 xs12080100_MSG0025 W-w-wait! When Linly say \"part of the feast...\"[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
31 xs12080100_MSG0026 Yeah. I mean we'll all eat you, in celebration.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
32 xs12080100_MSG0027 No-no-no-no![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
33 xs12080100_MSG0028 Tatsu want nothing to do with Linly's feast! Nothing at all![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
34 xs12080100_MSG0029 Oh, okay. We'll just eat without you then.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
35 xs12080100_MSG0030 B-but...wait! No! Linly know what Tatsu means![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
36 xs12080100_MSG0031 I'm sure you two will work it out somehow.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
37 xs12080100_MSG0032 Anyway, getting back to the conversation from earlier...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
38 xs12080100_MSG0033 So—that big machine hanging above us...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
39 xs12080100_MSG0034 I've never seen one anywhere near that size,[ST:n ]but it LOOKS like a seventh-generation quantum mainframe.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
40 xs12080100_MSG0035 That's exactly right.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
41 xs12080100_MSG0036 It's by far the most technologically advanced computer[ST:n ]humanity has ever created,[ST:page p1=90 ]in terms of both speed and capacity.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
42 xs12080100_MSG0037 It's also the foundation for the Earthlife Colonization Project.[ST:n ]It's where all your consciousnesses have been recorded.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
43 xs12080100_MSG0038 What?![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
44 xs12080100_MSG0039 Elma... You mean...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
45 xs12080100_MSG0040 Yes, that's what I mean.[ST:n ]And not just everyone in New LA—[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
46 xs12080100_MSG0041 The essence of all 20 million humans[ST:n ]we brought with us from Earth are there.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
47 xs12080100_MSG0042 Including all their memories, their genetic makeup—[ST:n ]anything and everything.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
48 xs12080100_MSG0043 It's all been digitized and stored away in the Core,[ST:n ]right up there.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
49 xs12080100_MSG0044 Then...what about our bodies?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
50 xs12080100_MSG0045 You mean the originals all this data was sampled from?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
51 xs12080100_MSG0046 They were destroyed along with the Earth.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
52 xs12080100_MSG0053 Then...wait...you mean we're already dead?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
53 xs12080100_MSG0054 You could see it that way. Or you could see it differently.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
54 xs12080100_MSG0055 The bodies you were born with, and all the chemicals[ST:n ]and organs that created and stored your thoughts, are gone.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
55 xs12080100_MSG0056
56 xs12080100_MSG0057 But your SELF has lived on as data,[ST:n ]from the moment the project scanned your minds.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
57 xs12080100_MSG0058 It's all been stored here as part of the long-term plan.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
58 xs12080100_MSG0059 Until it could be moved back into a real body.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
59 xs12080100_MSG0060 What real bodies?![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
60 xs12080100_MSG0061 I'll show you.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
61 xs12080100_MSG0062 Those capsules represent a sample of all[ST:n ]the genetic material that could be found on Earth.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
62 xs12080100_MSG0063 Exodus was always about more than just fleeing the planet.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
63 xs12080100_MSG0064 Ships like the White Whale were designed as arks, to carry[ST:n ]the building blocks of all life on Earth to the next world.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
64 xs12080100_MSG0065 Ark? You mean...as in, like, Noah's Ark?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
65 xs12080100_MSG0066 Yes, that's exactly what I mean.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
66 xs12080100_MSG0067 A last-ditch effort to save all living things,[ST:n ]that they might someday flourish again.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
67 xs12080100_MSG0068 This entire chamber is filled with protoplasmic fluid.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
68 xs12080100_MSG0069 You see how it works—it can regenerate life[ST:n ]from the genetic data stored above.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
69 xs12080100_MSG0070 Including humans? All of us?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
70 xs12080100_MSG0071 Once your bodies are cultivated,[ST:n ]your present memory can be transferred back in.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
71 xs12080100_MSG0072 Everything you've felt or done in your mim will be[ST:n ]carried over seamlessly, without any loss in continuity.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
72 xs12080100_MSG0073 You mean, we'll have our bodies back?[ST:n ]...It sounds too good to be true![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
73 xs12080100_MSG0074 It IS too good to be true.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
74 xs12080100_MSG0075 Our bodies were REAL. We were BORN in them...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
75 xs12080100_MSG0076 And now you just snap your fingers and BAM,[ST:n ]we get new ones?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
76 xs12080100_MSG0077 Is that even right?! It doesn't feel like it.[ST:n ]Are we even humans anymore?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
77 xs12080100_MSG0078 Transferring our memories...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
78 xs12080100_MSG0079 Playing musical chairs with our bodies...[ST:n ]Where do you draw the line?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
79 xs12080100_MSG0080 How do I know I'll be the same person I was[ST:n ]wherever I end up?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
80 xs12080100_MSG0081 To some extent, you won't be. But then, you never were.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
81 xs12080100_MSG0082 On a cellular level,[ST:n ]we all wake up as slightly different people every day.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
82 xs12080100_MSG0083 It's only because of the continuity of consciousness[ST:n ]that we even perceive ourselves as ourselves.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
83 xs12080100_MSG0084 It’s all a fragile illusion.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
84 xs12080100_MSG0085 And until anyone proves we all have a soul,[ST:n ]one better left to the philosophers.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
85 xs12080100_MSG0086 You're right to have doubts, Doug.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
86 xs12080100_MSG0087 This was the single biggest debate[ST:n ]among the ECP board...and rightly so.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
87 xs12080100_MSG0088 So then—[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
88 xs12080100_MSG0089 We did talk about putting actual bodies in stasis.[ST:n ]We seriously considered it.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
89 xs12080100_MSG0090 In fact, some of the other projects took that path...but they[ST:n ]would've been lucky if their ships were able to hold 50,000.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
90 xs12080100_MSG0091
91 xs12080100_MSG0092 The Exodus arks were different.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
92 xs12080100_MSG0093 Enough data and materials to revive 20 million people,[ST:n ]perfectly preserved on each and every ship.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
93 xs12080100_MSG0094 The board weighed all the pros and cons, the ethical issues[ST:n ]and dangers of violating the natural order of things...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
94 xs12080100_MSG0095 But this is what they landed on. And I agreed.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
95 xs12080100_MSG0096 So when Lao said our flesh burned away with the Earth...[ST:n ]he wasn't just being dramatic.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
96 xs12080100_MSG0097 No, he must have discovered the truth.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
97 xs12080100_MSG0098 Which only made his pain worse.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
98 xs12080100_MSG0099 That the same people who passed over his family[ST:n ]were keeping this all secret.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
99 xs12080100_MSG0100 It's no wonder he snapped... Poor bastard.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
100 xs12080100_MSG0101 But even so, he never said anything.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
101 xs12080100_MSG0102 You know why, right?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
102 xs12080100_MSG0103 Because of you, Lin. He didn't want to see you lose hope.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
103 xs12080100_MSG0104 In the end, he led us here, right?[ST:n ]In the end, maybe he accepted it.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
104 xs12080100_MSG0105 I'd like to think he did.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
105 xs12080100_MSG0106 Maybe so.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
106 xs12080100_MSG0107 The ultimate hope with Project Exodus was that[ST:n ]mimeosomes could escort this system to a safe new home.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
107 xs12080100_MSG0108 Lay down the foundations of a new society and[ST:n ]basically \"reboot\" humanity. Continue where it left off.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
108 xs12080100_MSG0109 Despite everything we've been through, with the Ganglion[ST:n ]and everything else, that dream is almost a reality.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
109 xs12080100_MSG0110
110 xs12080100_MSG0111 I know how you feel, Doug. And you can call it[ST:n ]whatever you like...but I need to see this through.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
111 xs12080100_MSG0112 I'll have to live with my decision.[ST:n ]But I GET to live with my decision.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
112 xs12080100_MSG0113 What about you?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
113 xs12080100_MSG0114 Sorry, Elma.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
114 xs12080100_MSG0115 This is just...a lot to take in.[ST:n ]To be honest, I still have big concerns...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
115 xs12080100_MSG0116 but I can see you're following the path you believed in,[ST:n ]from the choices you were given.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
116 xs12080100_MSG0117 So what the hell. I made it this far in a tin can—why not?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
117 xs12080100_MSG0118 Yeah... Me too.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
118 xs12080100_MSG0119 Tatsu three![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
119 xs12080100_MSG0120 Uh, Tatsu? This has nothing to do with you.[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
120 xs12080100_MSG0121 What? No?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
121 xs12080100_MSG0122 Sorry, Tatsu a little lost, but...[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
122 xs12080100_MSG0123 If it mean friends get to make more Hom Hom,[ST:n ]Tatsu gladly approve![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
123 xs12080100_MSG0124 Hom Hom? The hell is that?[ST:wait ][ST:n ]
124 xs12080100_MSG0125 Hmm? Uh...Tatsu have no idea![ST:wait ][ST:n ]
