Episode 1 Chapter 12 Parum (script)

Holtes City: Central Square

(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.

(Green Cast)

• Green Cast: The GUARDIANS certainly played a big part in finding the confinement systems to save the Gurhal System. There may be an unnecessary amount of humans, but I guess even humans can prove themselves to be useful at times.

(Again)

• Green Cast: It's possible we wouldn't be celebrating a victory right now if the battle had been left to the CASTs. We can be overly rational at times, I suppose.

(Blue Caseal)

• Blue Caseal: Hehe... It looks like it's the Alliance Military that will settle things in the end. What's the matter? You're sad it wasn't the GUARDIANS?

(Again)

• Blue Caseal: There's no reason to feel down! Look, I'll admit that the GUARDIANS did prove to be useful at times...

(Yellow Cast)

• Yellow Cast: I saw the confinement systems being activated on the news. It might not be the most politically correct thing to say, but I thought it looked really beautiful! All that's left is for the Alliance Military to destroy the HIVE. You guys did a great job, too, by the way!

(Again)

• Yellow Cast: Peace is right before us. Maybe now we can finally relax!

(AMF Cast)

• AMF Cast: You're Ethan Waber, right?
• Ethan: Yeah... So?
• AMF Cast: Er... I just want to thank you... Because you saved our captain...
• Ethan: You're welcome. Maybe someday when we're in a jam I might need to call on YOU guys for help.
• AMF Cast: Yeah, maybe.

(Again)

• Ethan: What?
• AMF Cast: Nothing... You're... a good guy.

Holtes City: West District

(Speal Fonce)

• Ethan: Hello, Speal.
• Speal: I heard you helped rescue some soldiers from the Alliance! Rumors have been spreading all over town.
• Ethan: That's just a rumor? That should be news, not a rumor! Why don't they have more faith in us Guardians?
• Speal: Well, that might all change...
• Ethan: ...if only.

(Again)

• Speal: I don't think anyone would complain if you wandered around a bit today...
• Ethan: That's great, but... I don't exactly have time for that today.

(Yokus Melton)

• Yokus: Hi Ethan, how are you?
• Ethan: You seem different.
• Yokus: I've been going out more, and now I've gotten to know Parum a lot better. Because of what you've been doing, CASTs are being a lot friendlier to humans nowadays.
• Ethan: So things are changing, are they?

(Again)

• Yokus: You came all this way, so let me give you a tour of the city!
• Ethan: I'd love that, but right now I'm really busy...

(Mikaris Geid)

• Mikaris: Ethan, I decided to handle this myself.
• Ethan: How so?
• Mikaris: I'm going to marry Commander Geece, and we're going to raise his son Prafo together!
• Ethan: Congratulations!

(Again)

• Mikaris: I think sometime, somewhere, a baby will come my way...
• Ethan: That would be great!

G.R.M. Shop

(Stank Geece)

• Stank: I'd better tighten up the ranks before we get shown up by you guys!
• Ethan: Hehe. Well, we'll see.

(Madris Carn)

• Madris: Is that you, Ethan?
• Ethan: Hi Madris!
• Madris: This is no time for loafing around! Are you gonna sit back and let the Alliance Military run this joint attack?
• Ethan: No way!
• Madris: I'll head back first, then.
• Ethan: Head back?
• Madris: Yeah, I've decided to rejoin the GUARDIANS!
• Ethan: Wow!

(Again)

• Madris: I look forward to seeing what you're made of, Ethan Waber!
• Ethan: I'm made of a lot!

Parts Shop

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Prafo: Ethan... Humans can't become CASTs, can we?
• Ethan: That's true, Prafo.
• Prafo: Even when I grow up, I won't be able to be a CAST in the Alliance Military, will I?
• Ethan: No... But I'm sure there'll be a time when humans can join the Alliance Military...
• Prafo: Really?
• Ethan: I'm sure. Someday...

(Again)

• Prafo: Ethan, I'm gonna try my hardest!
• Ethan: We'll protect the Gurhal System together!

Holtes City: East District

(Human Male)

• Human Male: Hey. So... I've decided to quit the anti-CAST movement after all. In the end...it was just a bunch of people who got together to badmouth the CASTs. If there was a problem in their lives, instead of dealing with it directly, they just sat around and blamed other people. Maybe that's what I was doing, too.

(Again)

• Human Male: In the end, my feelings may have been misdirected.

(Rol Medoc)

• Ethan: Hey, Rol. How are you?
• Rol: I'm fine. How are you?
• Ethan: !?
• Rol: What's the matter?
• Ethan: Sorry, your normal answer kind of caught me off guard!
• Rol: I... thought about what you said. And I've been a really rotten jerk to my grandpa!
• Ethan: It's never too late to change!
• Rol: Yeah, you're right. I'm gonna try to be nicer from now on.

(Again)

• Ethan: Take care of your granddad, Rol.
• Rol: I'll try.

(Quiro Medoc)

• Ethan: Hello, Mr. Medoc. You look like you're in a good mood today!
• Mr. Medoc: Yeah, my granddaughter called me "Grandpa" for the first time! I waited ten years for that! Now I can die with no regrets...
• Ethan: H-Hold on a second! Don't you die just yet now that you're making progress!
• Mr. Medoc: I don't have enough money to move to the colony. There's nothing left to do but die.
• Ethan: Please, think of your granddaughter! There must be some special programs to help low-income people move. I'll check into it for you!
• Mr. Medoc: Really? That's very kind of you, boy.

(Again)

• Ethan: Don't give up, Mr. Medoc!
• Mr. Medoc: I won't. Not yet, at least.

Holtes City: GUARDIANS Branch

(Human Woman)

• Human Woman: After the HIVE is wiped out, this SEED hassle will be over! Hopefully everything will be much calmer after that.

(Again)

• Human Woman: If it becomes too peaceful, though, then maybe we Guardians will be out of jobs!

(Black Cast)

• Black Cast: Are you really going to the HIVE? You'll be there for the Alliance Military offensive! You seem to feel really strongly about protecting people. When I see this in you, it stirs up something similar inside me, even though I'm a CAST.

(Again)

• Black Cast: Occasionally a human with a strong spirit, like you, will come around.

(Human Male)

• Human Male: A little bird told me that Karen has changed... and that change took place when she became an instructor. When I heard that, I was sad because the Karen I knew was gone. I really hated it! But it isn't that she's changed. No, she's just returned back to normal!

(Again)

• Human Male: Take good care of Karen for me!
