Dialogue/Eternal Winter's Ark 1-5

Translated by Khosen

Ev 1-5 - The Information Sector

Mnemosyne:

Reactivating.

Commander:

The enemies who infiltrated the Ark will be all taken care of soon. The same goes for the ones that are located outside. (Choice)

Mnemosyne:

As a "Mnemosyne" responsible for maintaining this current Ark, I sincerely thank you, Administrator.

Commander:

Ah, in that regard...(Choice)

Mnemosyne seemed confuzzled when I asked her permission to stay around the Ark and the archipelago for a while.

Mnemosyne:

You hold all authority over this Ark, Administrator.

That includes the right to make life-or-death decisions of this current entity as well, and you may act freely as you please.

Commander:

So would it be okay if we just decide to leave then? (Choice)

I noticed how her eyelids slightly trembled as I deliberately asked a cruel question.

Mnemosyne:

...Yes. Correct.

Commander:

Well, I'm sorry. We're planning to stick around here for a while. And when we do leave, you are coming with us, Mnemosyne. (Choice)

Mnemosyne:

This entity...would join...

Commander:

Yeah. (Choice)

Mnemosyne smiled lightly after blinking her eyes a few times.

Mnemosyne:

...Request granted. I look forward to working with you, Administrator.

Commander:

I headed back towards the lobby then headed towards the information sector.

I noticed how other crews were already scattered around trying to save any data they could get their hands on.

I noticed this from the DNA data area, but... this place is pretty 'normal' compared to the lobby. (Choice)

Mnemosyne:

Normal...?

Commander:

The lobby kinda reminded me of an ancient castle. (Choice)

Mnemosyne:

Unable to respond. I could not comprehend the term 'normal' you have just mentioned, Administrator.

Commander:

Uhh... (Choice)

Mnemosyne:

If you meant "this information sector is normal that there is no uniqueness or valuable information," do you mean that there is another information sector out there that is unique or contains valuable information?

Commander:

How do I explain this to her...?

Hmm, Mnemosyne, do you have access to the information stored here? (Choice)

Mnemosyne:

This current entity does have such authority.

Commander:

Then, have you ever searched anything about the world beyond this Ark? (Choice)

Mnemosyne:

Negative.

Orangeade:

Ah, Commander!

Commander:

Orangeade, who worked hard until we got here, came up towards us.

How's the restoration going? (Choice)

Orangeade:

Ah...well...

Commander:

Orangeade's report that began with her showing mixed feelings...

Continued on and on as she started to elaborate about records from the time before my existence to her stories when she secretly infiltrated North America.

Her report took a long ride and ended after precisely 17 minutes and 23 seconds.

...So you were trying to say that the data had been compromised?

Orangeade:

Yes, yes, exactly. And from how the data files have been corrupted, I'm 100% sure this was done by Omega.

Just look at this hysterical coding.

Commander:

I, is it...? (Choice)

Orangeade:

Yes. Well, I know she's a villain, but even villains have some sort of ideology they follow. So I suppose it's natural for her to eliminate anything that she thinks may hinder her grand scheme.

But look at this. This information had nothing to do with her plan, yet she still messed it up like a toddler drawing on a wall.

And I gotta admit, that old lady is talented enough, so this information isn't restorable no matter how hard I try.

Commander:

...Shouldn't you breathe in between your sentences? (Choice)

Orangeade:

Ehehe, I suppose I should.

Commander:

I knew nothing about coding, but from Orangeade's memo, I could tell a lot of data had been corrupted.

Honestly, at this point, I'm not even mad. (Choice)

Orangeade:

I agree.

Commander:

Well, what's done is done. Just try your best to back up anything you find on our database. (Choice)

Orangeade:

Yes, Commander~

Commander:

She blew me a kiss from where I do not know where she learned it from and went back to doing her job.

I feel like I just lost 17 minutes and 23 seconds of my life...
