"Everything's unnatural." "A man living in an empty room." "Vincent Law..." "What was he thinking here?" "He was even prepared to die." "What was it he was looking for?" "Is this all he had to show for it?" "Re-I Mayer!" "An immigrant... but who were you really?" "I can't investigate anything without lggy." "Projected escape route for infected AutoReivs?" "Why did he have this?" "Signs of Future, Hades of Future" "Hey..." "Let's not do that..." "Who are you?" "This way!" ""Nothing there was a town, or a church, or a river... or a color, or a light, or a shadow."" "Lmmigration I.D." "It doesn't mean anything." "What?" "Who?" "That's the one." "You're smart, aren't you Pino?" "Pino..." "It sure is hot in here." "Dorothy, could you turn on the air-conditioner?" "You are... an infected AutoReiv!" ""I kept still for a while... and felt a pleasant sensation as the indescribable great harmony... the brightness of the sky... and the melancholy of the moment spread throughout my body."" "It was a dream." "No!" "After all, an immigrant is an immigrant." "He's... himself..." "What an awful dream!" "The Security Bureau thought I was the one who murdered you." "A pretty stupid nightmare." "Right, Dorothy?" "Can you imagine me..." "Stop depending so much on your Entourage." "Dorothy isn't here anymore." "You'll never become a fellow citizen." ""I don't know what happened inside my mind... nor do I have any way of putting it into words."" "I..." "I tried to be a fellow citizen..." "I tried hard to be one." "I..." "Criminal." "Vincent Law." "No!" "That's what really happened." "Help..." ""It was a moment that defied all words... when I felt something inside me fall asleep... and something else wake up."" ""In the world born from him, a person could now become anything."" "The words of Joë Bousquet." "Who?" "Joë Bousquet." "Joe..." "You're Vincent Law, right?" "Where am I?" "Don't worry." "Your body fought off the virus." "Well, thanks to my treatment that is." "80 percent of the people who come here are... infected with the disease and don't last a week." "Infected..." "You've been asleep for 10 days." "You're all right now." "10 days..." "During which time Pino told me quite a bit." "Oh, Pino." "Vincent's awake." "Vince!" "Good morning!" "Thank goodness." "Vince?" "Pi... no...?" "The AutoReiv escape route..." "Those guys at the Security Bureau could never find this." "Excuse me, Joe?" "Joe?" "Joe...?" "Joe?" "Joe?" "No, no, I apologize." "I'm Hoody." "Joe's a poet from Carcassonne." "Why are you being kind to someone like me?" "It must be a lot of trouble for you." "There was a time... when we too enjoyed the kind, generous and sure protection... of that place." "I'm sure it's still the same beautiful place it's always been." "The whole city'sjust one big rotten lie!" "Until you know that a lie is a lie, it's the truth." "Discerning the truth from the lie may be the right thing to do... but it won't always make you happy." "Lies make us happy?" "Lies make us happy?" "That's right." "You're a clever child, Pino." "Let's have a good look." "Amazing!" "AutoReivs really do seem to be becoming more and more like us." "I bet everyone has these types over there nowadays, right?" "Over there?" "What do you mean?" "I mean Romdo." "Romdo." "The very sound of it makes me feel nostalgic." "Wait a minute!" "We're not in the immigrant District?" "!" "Why am I alive?" "It took you long enough." "Isn't it obvious?" "You escaped outside the dome with Pino." "Outside the dome..." "Yes!" "Yes!" "I know!" "The distance from here to the dome is 1246.65 units." "And the height from the plug vent Vince leapt from to the earth's surface... is approximately 517 units." "I know a lot because I see all sorts of things and ask everyone." "Amazing, aren't I?" "Huh, Vince?" "Vince?" "Outside Romdo...?" "Vince!" "You look down." "I wonder if maybe it's the wounds we treated earlier." "Is it because the representatives disciplined you?" "They even confiscated lggy." "That must be horrible." "No." "That's not it." "Then what is it?" "Wort you tell me?" "No." "I can't say anything." "Deleuze and Guattari, right?" "Don't worry about them." "I've altered them a bit." "No one's going to hear a word of this." "If my grandfather finds out..." "It's just between you and me." "I've always been on your side... even before I was your doctor." "You believe me, don't you, Re-I?" "You won't tell anyone?" "Of course not." "I found it..." "The proxy's dead body." "The Security Bureau still doesn't even know." "It's the monster that Raul has been searching for... while keeping it a secret from the Intelligence Bureau." "I want you to examine it and tell me what you find out." "My grandfather's in on it too." "I want to find out for myself what this thing is." "You may not like the answer." "I don't care!" "Please, Daedalus." "All right." "Let's do itjust like you said." "Will you tell me where it is?" "I know I came from there." "I was chased by the monster... falsely accused, and declared a traitor." "A monster?" "Did you see it?" "What?" "You know about it?" "It was..." "Those things are demons born from the angry earth." "The Amrita cells were wiped out?" "They're supposed to be indestructible." "What do you think?" "Oh, well..." "I won't know anything for sure until we examine it back at the lab." "You knew?" "You'd best forget about everything you saw here." "It's a proxy, isn't it?" "And there's another one... the one that killed this one." "It must still be alive somewhere." "We need to find it." "Re-I." "You know, don't you, Daedalus?" "Sorry." "I know you can't talk about it." "No, I..." "That's all right, Daedalus." "Looks like I've gotten you into some sort of trouble." "I just want you to leave the rest to me." "So promise me, will you?" "You didn't find anything here." "Find anything?" "I've never even been here." "Good." "All right, I'll leave it to you then." "File the results for me when you get them." "I'll visit you to find out." "Where are you going?" "I told you, didn't I?" "I want to look into this myself." "There's a secret path here... that only the infected AutoReivs know about." "I'm going to try and find it." "Re-I..." "So you're an immigrant?" "The Romdo air didn't agree with you, right?" "I know the feeling." "In that case, welcome." "You can stay here as long as you like." "It's free here." "We left the dome and gained true freedom." "What's that?" "They throw out the things they don't need anymore in the dome." "But almost all of it's still perfectly good to use." "I found this too!" "The people here either left Romdo or were banished from the city... for various reasons." "That's why a lot them feel hostile towards the place." "Which isn't to say there aren't some who'd like to return." "But she says you can't go back no matter what." "Who says?" "The woman I met over there." "You mean Quinn?" "That bitch!" "Speaking of which, didn't the old man say... this thing was the latest high-end model?" "I bet some high-level citizens must have owned her." "In which case, they might come looking for their lost possession." "Right young lady?" "Vince...!" "I'm kidding." "Who would ever want to go back to that place, right?" "You can say that again." "You can say that again." "You can say that again!" "You can say that again!" "Now what do I do?" "You're Pino's companion?" "I'm Quinn." "As you can see, I pick up things that fall in the sea." "It's a good spot." "And the bay's warm from the heat generated by the dome." "That's a..." "You recognize it?" "It's an AutoReiv's core." "It's waterproof and can serve as a Rabbit's core system." "Rabbit?" "Yep." "I'm not one of those chicken-shits who's going to stay here forever." "You must think I've got a lot of nerve talking so much when we'vejust met." "No, I don't." "You may have heard from Hoody, but I pass for being an oddball." "But if you ask me... those guys are far and away the bigger oddballs." "Always ranting and raving about how free they are." "I don't plan on being a parasite who lives off the dome like this, forever." "Mark my word." "Yeah." "So what's your story?" "What are you doing sitting here with your knees clutched, and whimpering?" "Nothing really." "Pino's a lot more grown-up than you are." "That may be true." "Well, you'll get used to living here soon." "In the meantime you can think about what you want to do..." "Damn!" "Run!" "What's that?" "It's a routine patrol." "Hurry!" "Routine patrol?" "A Romdo unmanned spy craft." "They're very meticulous... following along a fixed course at a set time, everyday." "But if it doesn't detect anything, it doesn't look for us." "As far as Romdo's concerned, I suppose that's all we are." "Pino!" "You idiot!" "Wait!" "AutoReivs are...!" "Pino!" "Get down!" "Hey, I thought the routine patrols didn't fire on AutoReivs?" "I hope this doesn't mean trouble in the future." "This man..." "Vincent Law." "What would you like to do?" "Why is he alive?" "Shall I report this to the Regent?" "No." "I'm sure he's not interested." "Rather, strengthen the patrol-craft deployments." "They're already standing-by." "Beautiful." "Issue a mobilization request to all bureaus concerned." "But we still haven't determined the specimers whereabouts." "It doesn't matter." "Either way, that man holds the answer." "That's clear to me now." "How unusual." "The emotional tone of your words." "I'm surprised myself." "It seems almost as if I was infected with the cogito virus." "I don't find yourjoke amusing." "An anonymous whisper." "When you can see the invisible... you can no longer be your former self." "Recall That's all right." "Recall As long as it's still your true self." "Recall"
