Episode 1 Chapter 09 Parum (script)

Holtes City: Central District

(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.)

(Green Cast)

• Green Cast: What could that tower possibly be? A RELICS site from the ancient civilization?

(Again)

• Green Cast: I guess it's got to be a RELICS site... But I've never heard of such an enormous one before!

(Blue Caseal)

• Blue Caseal: That tower? It doesn't affect my daily life, so what do I care?

(Again)

• Blue Caseal: Who gives a flying fig?

(Yellow Cast)

• Yellow Cast: To think there was something as big as that tower under Mellvore! That tower is probably the cause of the explosion, too, don't you think?

(Again)

• Yellow Cast: I'm a little worried that tower will cause another big explosion.

(AMF Cast)

• AMF Cast: Hey you! What do you think you're doing!?
• Ethan: Nothing...
• AMF Cast: If you don't have any official business here then you'd better go back to the colony! Guardians are such an eyesore...
• Ethan: What a load of nonsense!
• AMF Cast: You're on CAST territory, human!

(Again)

• Ethan: Got a lot of free time on your hands, do you?
• AMF Cast: What!? Was that an insult!?

Holtes City: West District

(Speal Fonce)

• Ethan: Hello, Speal.
• Speal: You come here a lot. Do all Guardians have that much free time?
• Ethan: I'm trying to expand my knowledge of each planet, to educate myself.
• Speal: Yeah, right!

(Again)

• Ethan: Hey, Speal.
• Speal: Be careful, the Alliance has spies everywhere!
• Ethan: That's pretty creepy!

(Yokus Melton)

• Ethan: Hey, Yokus... Did I do something wrong?
• Yokus: No. No, you didn't.
• Ethan: If something's upsetting you, I can't just ignore it.

(Again)

• Ethan: Hey...
• Yokus: I want to be alone, Ethan. So stop pestering me with all your useless chatter!

(AMF Guard)

• AMF Guard: An ancient civilization's confinement system... That thing was in Mellvore all along? How did the GUARDIANS manage to find that? And what good are those ancient ruins to us anyways?

(Again)

• AMF Guard: I can't understand what you humans are trying to accomplish.

(Mikaris Geid)

• Mikaris: Oh, Ethan! Please listen to what I have to say. I'm being serious!
• Ethan: Mikaris... No matter how much you want a baby, it's impossible for a CAST and a human...
• Mikaris: You fool. I know that much! I'm not saying I want to HAVE a baby. I just to raise one!
• Ethan: A human child?
• Mikaris: CAST children don't grow up. I really want to raise a human child! Do you have any ideas on how I might go about that?
• Ethan: Well... Let me think about this.

(Again)

• Ethan: Give me some time to think about it.
• Mikaris: All right. I'm counting on you!

G.R.M. Shop

(Stank Geece)

• Ethan: Hello, Commander Geece.
• Stank: Hey, Ethan.
• Ethan: ...I wish all Alliance Military personnel were like you, Commander.
• Stank: Ah, that's very generous. But I think you give me too much credit!
• Ethan: No, I think I'm pretty right-on!
• Stank: I'm getting weaker, Ethan. I get sad when I think that Prafo will probably grow old and die before me.
• Ethan: That's not weakness, it's kindness, sir.

(Again)

• Ethan: If there's anything I can do to help, let me know!
• Stank: Thanks, Ethan. I might take you up on that one day.

(Madris Carn)

• Ethan: Hi Madris!
• Madris: Hey! It's Ethan!
• Ethan: Madris, where does the Alliance Military send you?
• Madris: I'm mostly attached to Headquarters.
• Ethan: You plan operations?
• Madris: No, I mostly do communications office work.
• Ethan: You never see combat? Oh...

(Again)

• Ethan: Madris, about your job...
• Madris: I don't mean to be vague, there's just a lot to it.

Parts Shop

(Prafo Kaluen)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo!
• Prafo: Hi Ethan. ...Say, how are the Alliance Military and the GUARDIANS different?
• Ethan: Uh... that's kind of hard to explain. But when it comes to their desire to protect the Gurhal System... They're pretty much the same.
• Prafo: Okay...

(Again)

• Ethan: Hey, Prafo!
• Prafo: What?
• Ethan: CASTs and humans have got to start getting along better, don't you think?
• Prafo: I get along fine with everyone!

Holtes City: West District

(Human Male)

• Human Male: I trust that I can talk to you. I'm thinking about joining the anti-CAST movement. No matter how you slice it, Parum is screwed up! From the administration, all the way to the justice department, why do the CASTs control everything? We've got to make some changes around here!

(Again)

• Human Male: We have got to put an end to human oppression!

(Rol Medoc)

• Ethan: Hey, Rol.
• Rol: You again...
• Ethan: If you act like that all the time, you'll never find happiness.
• Rol: There isn't any happiness to be found around here.
• Ethan: That's why you have to make up with your grandfather. He's so sad!
• Rol: ...

(Again)

• Ethan: You know, you're not the only one who has a tough life.
• Rol: ...

(Quiro Medoc)

• Ethan: Hello, Mr. Medoc.
• Mr. Medoc: Oh, it's you... I wish I could just die...
• Ethan: What are you saying!?
• Mr. Medoc: I don't have any dreams or any money... Just a granddaughter who curses my existence. There's nothing left but the sweet release of death.
• Ethan: Don't talk like that, Mr. Medoc. Your granddaughter would miss you if you were gone. Eventually you'll learn to understand each other. Don't give up hope!

(Again)

• Mr. Medoc: Thanks for the encouragement, but I'm so tired... I just wish things were easier!
• Ethan: They won't always be so hard, Mr. Medoc. You’ve got to have faith.

Holtes City: GUARDIANS Branch

(Human Female)

• Human Female: What's with that big tower that appeared in Mellvore? You went to Mellvore recently. Do you have any clues as to what that thing is? Oh yeah, it's probably classified information, right? Well, looking at your calm composure, I can't imagine it's anything too horrible.

(Again)

• Human Female: Still, how could something so big lie undiscovered under Mellvore all this time?

(Black Cast)

• Black Cast: The Endrum Collective... I had an encounter with them while escorting an investigation team to a RELICS site... They were an unpleasant group. Why has the Alliance Military let a group like that run around unchecked?

(Again)

• Black Cast: There are instructions from Headquarters to capture and hold members of the Endrum Collective upon discovery. Don't drop your guard!

(Human Male)

• Human Male: I'm sorry about before... Getting so upset... Whenever I think about Karen I... Er... it's not important!

(Again)

• Human Male: Just forget about it!
