Ayame Pass Factory: Sentinel Hangar
| |
1944
| |
Okino Tsukasa (as Kiriko Douji) runs over the platform in front of Sentinel No. 19, with Ei Sekigahara in pursuit. Ei Sekigahara stops, further away.
| |
| Ei Sekigahara: | Wait! |
Ei Sekigahara turns, seeing Sentinel No. 19.
| |
| Ei Sekigahara: | This... can't be... |
Consider: Oral NM
| |
| Ei Sekigahara: | Pills the android gave me in the underground facility in 2104.[1] |
| Ei Sekigahara: | They slow the effects of DD-426. |
Consider: DD-426
| |
| Ei Sekigahara: | It's basically the nanomachine equivalent of a virus program. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | ...Except it causes brain damage. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | The infected will ultimately lose their memories... or end up as husks of themselves. |
Examine Sentinel No. 19
| |
| Ei Sekigahara: | A third-generation model... |
| Ei Sekigahara: | Sentinel No. 19... |
| Ei Sekigahara: | So this is where it was transmitted... |
| Ei Sekigahara: | ...Is this a hangar for Sentinels? |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Awfully persistent, aren't you? Fine. You got me. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | I know it's you, Okino. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Even in this outfit... |
| Tsukasa Okino: | ...you managed to catch me. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | Have you been in hiding ever since the incident? |
| Ei Sekigahara: | Just laying low in Sector 5? |
| Tsukasa Okino: | ... |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Tell me, Sekigahara-kun... |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Why were you searching for me? |
Tsukasa Okino: DD-426
| |
| Ei Sekigahara: | I need to stop the effects of DD-426. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | You're an expert on the subject, aren't you? |
| Tsukasa Okino: | I am indeed. It's a code that was distributed on the battlefield. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Do you know who's responsible for spreading it? |
| Ei Sekigahara: | ... |
| Ei Sekigahara: | ...No. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Right... |
| Tsukasa Okino: | This is exactly why I went into hiding. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Because I can't trust anyone... |
| Tsukasa Okino: | ...and that includes you, Ei Sekigahara. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | You were on the battlefield, too... |
| Ei Sekigahara: | Yet you're not showing any symptoms. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | I could say the same about you. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | I'm taking pills to help reduce the symptoms. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | ...Pills? |
| Tsukasa Okino: | What are you taking? |
| Ei Sekigahara: | ... |
Tsukasa Okino: Oral NM
| |
| Ei Sekigahara: | These. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | I see... |
| Tsukasa Okino: | These serve as additional code for priority processing. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | These aren't going to save me. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Of course they won't. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | All you're doing is buying yourself some time. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | What about you? You're completely healthy. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | There must be some way to stop it, right? |
| Tsukasa Okino: | I'm afraid that's impossible. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | It was about a year ago. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | I discovered a code created by 426. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | ...The aptly named DD-426. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | I tested it on myself in an attempt to detach the D-Code... |
| Tsukasa Okino: | ...which resulted in the loss of my memories. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | That's why I was unaffected on the battlefield. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | That can't be true. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | You don't seem like you've lost your memories at all. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | That's because I transferred my memories to my nanomachines. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | And I was able to create a simulated personality. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | It carries all the qualities that make up my identity. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | Let me get this straight... |
| Ei Sekigahara: | You're a program that's simulating Okino? |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Initially, yes. But now that I've been affixed to the brain... |
| Tsukasa Okino: | I've become the true Tsukasa Okino. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | I possess the original Okino's personality and memories. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | You can't even tell the difference. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | ...But you're still not the same. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | The Okino from before was different. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Human beings are constantly evolving. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Whether we retain our memories or not, we're never the same as our past selves. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | My goodness... |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Your pursuit of me caused quite the panic. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Professor Douji wants to have me restrained. |
| Tsukasa Okino: | And now that you've caught me, maybe it's time I gave up... |
Tsukasa Okino looks down, clearly seeing something.
| |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Oh... Perfect timing. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | ...? |
Tsukasa Okino moves past Ei Sekigahara, calling down to Takatoshi Hijiyama below.
| |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Hijiyama-kun! Over here! |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Help! |
| Ei Sekigahara: | Huh? |
Takatoshi Hijiyama rushes over to Tsukasa Okino's side.
| |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Kiriko-san! |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | What's going on!? |
Tsukasa Okino moves behind Takatoshi Hijiyama.
| |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Th-that man... |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Hey! Who the hell are you!? |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | How'd you get in here!? |
| Tsukasa Okino: | Please, make him go away. |
Tsukasa Okino runs off, and Ei Sekigahara tries to follow before he is stopped by Takatoshi Hijiyama.
| |
| Ei Sekigahara: | Hold it, Okino! |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | Not so fast, you bastard. You're coming with me. |
| Takatoshi Hijiyama: | This is highly-classified material, and you've seen too much. |
| Ei Sekigahara: | Damn you, Okino... |
Ei Sekigahara runs away, with Takatoshi Hijiyama chasing after him.
