• PPT Caseal

Chapter 2

(Keiko Rotta)

• Keiko: You're in the GUARDIANS, correct?
• Ethan: Yeah, I'm Ethan Waber.
• Keiko: I didn't ask for your name. I'd just prefer it if you didn't wander around here. This is a controlled area.

(Again)

• Ethan: Hm... Interesting spaceport...
• Keiko: If you spend all your time gawking, you'll miss your flight. Get going!

(Again)

• Keiko: With the current state of affairs, I sure wish the GUARDIANS would straighten up!

(PPT Caseal)

• PPT Caseal: You're a Guardian, aren't you?
• Ethan: Yes. I'm Ethan Waber.
• PPT Caseal: I've never heard of you. I wish you wouldn't wander around like this.

(Again)

• Ethan: This place is sure different from the colony...
• PPT Caseal: It's no good to wander around here like an absent-minded goon. Hurry along!

(Again)

• PPT Caseal: In times like this, the GUARDIANS need to take things more seriously!

Chapter 3

(Keiko Rotta)

• Ethan: Huh? Wasn't this the gate for Parum?
• Keiko: Unreliable Guardian! The Gurhal System doesn't stand a chance with you defending us!
• Ethan: Excuse me?

(Again)

• Keiko: You humans are all the same...

(PPT Caseal)

• Ethan: Huh? Which way is the flyer base again?
• PPT Caseal: Silly Guardian! I guess you really can only depend on the Alliance Military...
• Ethan: Excuse me?

(Again)

• PPT Caseal: I can't stand young humans.

Chapter 4

(Keiko Rotta)

• Ethan: What's the matter?
• Keiko: What's that supposed to mean? There's nothing wrong with me!
• Ethan: You just seemed like you were stuck or something...
• Keiko: How rude. Leave me alone!

(Again)

• Keiko: Didn't I tell you to leave me alone?

(PPT Caseal)

• PPT Caseal: What? It's rude to stare!
• Ethan: Nothing, it's just... I get the feeling we've met somewhere before.
• PPT Caseal: Well I certainly don't recognize you!

(Again)

• Ethan: Um...
• PPT Caseal: I said I don't know you!

Chapter 5

(Keiko Rotta)

• Ethan: A young CAST like this doesn't need to be worried about Instant Crash Syndrome... does she?
• Keiko: Hey, I can hear you!
• Ethan: Er... Sorry!

(Again)

• Keiko: Well, I guess I still LOOK young at least...

(PPT Caseal)

• Ethan: (I definitely get the feeling I've met this CAST somewhere before.)
• PPT Caseal: What? Why are you always looking at me like that?
• Ethan: Er... excuse me!
• PPT Caseal: (Yep, I guess I've still got it!)

(Again)

• Ethan: (Hm... I can't put my finger on it.)

Chapter 6

(Keiko Rotta)

• Ethan: Are you all right?
• Keiko: What, you again? There's nothing wrong with me!
• Ethan: You just seemed liked you had quit running...
• Keiko: Are you trying to say I look like I have Instant Crash Syndrome?
• Ethan: Well, to put it bluntly...
• Keiko: You're a rude kid. Leave me alone!

(Again)

• Keiko: Didn't I tell you to leave me alone?

(PPT Caseal)

• Ethan: (Hm... We've met before somewhere.)
• PPT Caseal: You like what you see, human? You know, I'm not here to be ogled at!
• Ethan: No! I'm sorry, I wasn't checking you out like that!
• PPT Caseal: (Oops.)

(Again)

• Ethan: (If I keep this up, she's going to think I'm weird.)

Chapter 7

(Keiko Rotta)

• Ethan: Hm? This CAST looks like she's stopped again... No, wait... maybe she's all right. ...I don't have time for this.

(PPT Caseal)

• Ethan: (Huh? Has that CAST stopped moving? During a busy time like this...) (...I got it! This CAST is the same model as the shuttle controller on the colony!) (I'm glad I figured that one out. It was bugging me!)

Chapter 8

(Keiko Rotta)

• Keiko: Hey you, you're in the GUARDIANS, aren't you? Quit slacking off on the job and go purify some SEED!
• Ethan: I've already purified the SEED that fell on the farming plant.
• Keiko: Oh, really?
• Ethan: Really.

(Again)

• Ethan: The SEED have already been taken care of, so rest easy!
• Keiko: You GUARDIANS are all we've got to rely on, so we really need you guys to shape up!

(PPT Caseal)

• Ethan: Um... Do you by any chance have any relatives at the colony?
• PPT Caseal: Well, let's see... Being a CAST, it's not strange for there to be one or two other units of the same model.
• Ethan: I see...

(Again)

• Ethan: (Hm, the resemblance is really striking!)

Chapter 9

(Keiko Rotta)

• Keiko: You're a Guardian, right? You guys keep up the good work!
• Ethan: Huh? Thanks!
• Keiko: The other day my home was attacked by the SEED but the GUARDIANS come and purified them quickly. Now my home is as good as new!
• Ethan: I'm happy for you!

(Again)

• Ethan: If you ever have a problem, let us know!
• Keiko: That's sweet.

(PPT Caseal)

• PPT Caseal: Hey, did you say that somewhere there's a CAST that's the same model as me?
• Ethan: Yeah, at the colony shuttle departures area there's a CAST who looks exactly like you.
• PPT Caseal: Really! Are there more on Neudaiz and Moatoob as well?
• Ethan: Not that I know of.

(Again)

• Ethan: (It looks like she works a bit differently than the Lou units.)

Chapter 10

(Keiko Rotta)

• Keiko: You're a Guardian, right? I have a question for you.
• Ethan: Yes, what is it?
• Keiko: How are things really looking? I mean, do you think you can save us or not?
• Ethan: Of course we can! It is our duty to defend the Gurhal System at all costs!
• Keiko: I see... Thank you, that's very encouraging.

(Again)

• Keiko: I appreciate your upbeat attitude.
• Ethan: Thank you!

(PPT Caseal)

• Ethan: Hello.
• PPT Caseal: What?
• Ethan: Nothing. I was just saying hello.
• PPT Caseal: Do you have any business to discuss with me?
• Ethan: We'll we talked before, so I thought I'd say hello.
• PPT Caseal: This isn't the kind of place for that. Surely you can't be so oblivious!
• Ethan: Yeah, I know, but...

(Again)

• PPT Caseal: Before, we had something to discuss. When we don't, you mustn't speak to me.
• Ethan: (She really is completely different from the CAST at the colony!)

Chapter 11

(Keiko Rotta)

• Ethan: Are you all right?
• Keiko: There's nothing wrong with me!
• Ethan: You just seemed liked you had quit running...
• Keiko: Oh wait... You're a Guardian, aren't you?
• Ethan: Yes, I am.
• Keiko: I guess it might actually be Instant Crash Syndrome. I can't tell, myself...

(Again)

• Ethan: You should probably get that checked out next time you're in for maintenance.
• Keiko: Thanks, maybe I should.

(PPT Caseal)

• PPT Caseal: Hey, you know the CAST that's the same model as me?
• Ethan: Well, yes.
• PPT Caseal: What kind of condition is she in?
• Ethan: What do you mean, condition?
• PPT Caseal: Well, there are various problems that can plague a CAST...
• Ethan: Oh, like ICS?
• PPT Caseal: Does that CAST have ICS!?
• Ethan: I'm not sure. She might.
• PPT Caseal: You're scaring me!

(Again)

• PPT Caseal: It looks like I might have ICS in my lineage...
• Ethan: Yeah, I sort of get that vibe...
• PPT Caseal: Hey, keep your "vibes" to yourself, human!
• Ethan: I'm sorry.

Chapter 12

(Keiko Rotta)

• Keiko: You're with the GUARDIANS aren't you? In this attack, don't just leave it up to the Alliance!
• Ethan: Don't worry, we'll give it all we've got!
• Keiko: We seem to run into each other a lot, don't we? But I don't know what to call you. My name is Keiko Rotta. I work here at the arrival and departure gate.
• Ethan: My name is Ethan Waber.
• Keiko: Ethan Waber... Good luck out there!

(Again)

• Keiko: Humans aren't so bad after all. I don't know why I thought they were before...
• Ethan: Huh? what did you say?
• Keiko: Nothing. I was just talking to myself.

(PPT Caseal)

• PPT Caseal: Hey, you say the CAST that's the same model as me is at the colony shuttle departures area?
• Ethan: Yeah...
• PPT Caseal: I think I'll pay her a visit.
• Ethan: It's like two long-lost sisters finally meeting!
• PPT Caseal: Don't be so trite. She's probably suffering from the same troubles as I am.
• Ethan: You mean the ICS?
• PPT Caseal: Hey, keep it down!
• Ethan: I'm sorry.

(Again)

• Ethan: The colony is a nice place. Have fun while you're there!
• PPT Caseal: Thank you.
