Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 0
Zetsfir Insitute, 7:21 pm
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 1
Chairman: Ladies and gentlemen of the council, before us are those in charge of research for the migration crisis resolution project.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 2
Chairman: Since major setbacks have arisen due to the suicide bombing, our project has taken some detours.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 3
Chairman: I am, however, pleased to know that we may proceed with the project.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 4
Chairman: Professor Disphumis, what were your findings on Gesh's DNA sample?
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 5
Azurat: As you are aware, Chairman, Gesh had a rare genetic mutation exclusive to his blood line that contained encoded binary data.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 6
Azurat: This trait was shared by my late wife, as well. Unfortunately... we lost her during system testing on board the Morgan's Gate.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 7
Chairman: Yes, again, my condolences, professor.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 8
Council Member: Professor, were you able to obtain enough data to complete the program?
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 9
Azurat: Unfortunately, without recovering the brain from the rubble, we had to rely on incomplete samples from my wife and interpolation...
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 10
Martin: We are confident that our partial model is suitable for preliminary testing.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 11
Chairman: I see.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 12
Chairman: I take it that testing was delayed further due to the lack of suitable test subjects and the significant risk involved?
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 13
Azurat: Well, yes... I'm afraid the only suitable test subject...
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 14
Council Member: Is your daughter, am I correct?
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 15
Council Member: Would I be accurate to say you have personal reservations due to that fact?
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 16
Azurat: ...
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 17
Martin: Ma'am, the risks involved are not trivial.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 18
Martin: She did agree plus, due to her genetic expression of the code in question, her chances of survival are greater than most...
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 19
Council Member: Dr. Pathos, I do not mean to sound insensitive but the stakes are quite high. We are willing to accept certain risks.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 20
Martin: You are willing?! What about his daughter? What about his wife? We've already lost people as a result of...
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 21
Azurat: It's fine, Martin.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 22
Martin: But aside from that, although we can perform testing, we still don't have any of Gesh's actual tissue so the system won't be reliable!
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 23
Council Member: You were told that for security purposes.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 24
Council Member: In truth, we have the brain - intact.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 25
Council Member: Currently, the data is being extracted and stored in one of the mainframes for the "V-CORE" project.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 26
Chairman: That means we already have everything we need.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 27
Chairman: That means we can proceed for certain. Our main objective is to perfect the temporal gate systems...
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 28
Chairman: Professor, is something wrong?
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 29
Azurat: N... no... sir.
Chapter 1 Scene 4 Frame 30
Azurat: Nothing.
