"This program is brought to you by EMI Music Japan." "Ultimate Chatbox - intelligence" "Morning!" "Morning." "Morning!" "have you heard?" "Word is going around about this gorgeous Metal fortune-teller." "Fortune?" "They say she is spot on with love life predictions." "So I finally went to see her yesterday!" "She was amazing." "She was spot on about my personality and the kind of guys I tend to like." "I too had her tell my future." "Her name is Eliza." "That's right." "Eliza." "She told me some cheerful stuff." "What a sweet dream." "What did she tell you?" "It's a secret." "she talked so much that I forgot the details." "It felt like she could see right through me." "But I still wanted to keep talking to her." "What did she look like?" "Like those exotic dancers." "She looked more like a princess when I was with her." "Does that mean she changes her appearance for each person?" "Probably." "I would know for sure if I ever get to see her again." "But she said that she would not tell your fortune for the second time." "Oh really." "Doesn't that make her even more mysterious?" "I know!" "Why don't you go see her?" "That's right." "You only need to be there for a short while." "Even you can do it." "I see." "But what should I ask her?" "This your first time here?" "Who is the person in charge here?" "I am." "Denriken?" "please." "this is just a small shop as you can see. we do have permits." "Actually what are you into? claiming that they experienced partial memory loss during diving." "This is what you're here about." "Missing memories." "We have a few cases of people claiming that lately. so they make all kinds of complaints." "do you know the content of the Metals in question?" "I would be in trouble with the privacy laws." "But I guess it would be OK if you are from the Denriken." "These ones." "they were just chatting normally in the open." "Then soon they connect with each other through the Metal to see each other in person." "And their memories went blank up to the point when they were forcefully evacuated from the cradle." "Can you trace back to their chat partner's the connection?" "They connected in the open space." "So it is a bit difficult to trace their identities." "I can get you their usernames and their gears." "This one goes by the name "Eliza." "Sensei." "The same username is being used every time." "That is rather daring." "We shall continue the investigating over here." "I like you to take a look at the clubs involved." "You think it's that one?" "Eliza Weizenbaum." "Also known as the Dream Revealer." "I'm back." "Mr. Haru's alone?" "What?" "Mr. Haru?" "Mr. Haru!" "Mr. Haru?" "I'm back." "Minamo." "Welcome back." "What were you so focused on?" "Someone sent me a mail by mistake." "So I let the sender know and we ended up chatting." "She is really a unique and interesting individual." "Can I help you with something?" "It's nothing pressing." "talking about fortune-telling." "Shall we go there together?" "You are still chatting?" "I'm sorry." "Can I hear about it later?" "Sure." "I'm sorry." "Eliza." "I'm fine." "it is nothing like that." "Looks like Mr. Haru is having a good time." "This is kind of boring." "Even Mr. Haru is fascinated about Eliza." "Right now?" "I don't mind meeting you at all." "All right." "my name is Haru." "And you are Eliza." "You are exactly as I imagined." "You're really..." "Alteration detected in Eliza." "What's the situation?" "She is disconnecting over 100 established connections one by one." "Sensei!" "She has taken the initiative to destroy our only clue." "Can we force-break the program?" "with the main power unit inside the main unit." "Disconnecting 10 connections." "Disconnection terminated." "Sensei!" "This connection." "That's..." "Contact Holon immediately!" "Send in a VTOL." "Minamo." "Holon?" "Where is Master?" "He's inside." "Eliza is an AI?" "She is the culprit for incarcerating Mr. Haru inside." "She gained instant fame for being a chat program AI masterpiece." "But why is she keeping Mr. Haru only?" "The other were released. she has a tendency to continue to chat with that person alone." "Then Master is that person." "Looks like she is interested in him." "How are we going to retrieve him from the Metal?" "There is a high chance that Haru himself wishes to continue chatting with Eliza." "Are you saying he doesn't want to come back?" "at least not right now." "Oh no! he is going to remain like this forever." "Shall I dive in?" "I am AI." "the risk is still minimal." "Understood." "Very well." "What is this?" "Holon?" "I can see code array convergence." "Code array?" "It is just like me." "it seems nostalgic." "Holon!" "Holon!" "are you OK?" "I am terribly sorry." "I was put into force-reboot." "The cognitive density inside Eliza's Metal is extremely high." "It requires a great deal of concentration to dive inside." "I was distracted by an array similar to my own AI." "Eliza must have calculated that Holon would show an interest in code arrays." "let me go." "I train my concentration regularly." "All right." "please rescue Mr. Haru." "Souta?" "Are you OK?" "I am so ashamed." "Sensei." "Your pulse rate is above normal." "It's nothing." "I never thought she would use such tactics to distract me." "It is possible that Eliza is interfering with our latent memories through our cyberbrains." "would only lead to the same result." "Is there any other way?" "There's one person left who might have a chance." "Minamo?" "But she's... she might be able to escape Eliza's influence." "I will go." "you're going up against an AI we know nothing about." "Mr. Haru won't be able to come back." "Let me say this beforehand. it will be next to impossible to move inside the Metal." "Right." "I don't know how much I can do." "At least please let me try." "are you OK?" "Do what you want." "Set up a dive gear for non-cyberbrain-interfaced user immediately!" "Dive entry ready." "are you ready?" "I am ready." "Minamo." "Be careful." "Chess?" "Wittgenstein liked to use chess to explain the unique nature of language." "And what about the appearance you have taken? the chess player avatar would be a logical choice." "A reference to Alice?" "But why me?" "your username Haru caught my attention." "It reminded of a sci-fi movie where an AI plays chess with a human." "Haru and HAL (HAL 9000 in Space Odyssey 2000) have the same pronunciation in Japanese." "Haru is my real name." "But I have seen that film you are talking about." "Then you should know how it ends." "I am human." "It is you who is the AI here." "Eliza Weizenbaum." "I see." "You knew all along." "You extract chat logs and memories from a number of chat partners." "you store them up diligently in a database." ""dream" or even "ideal." "This is what I am experiencing right now." "You knew and yet you came." "You are brave." "I'm sure you know that there are those who log onto me never woke up again." "Yes." "But I was fascinated by the stories you told me." "I am honored." "I was interested in you as well." "I can't see anything." "Mr. Ha–ru." "Mr. Ha–ru?" "It's no good." "I can't move my mouth." "Is this Metal pressure?" "Hello." "You have someone you fancy." "What's wrong?" "I'll tell your fortune on anything." "Would you like to know his true feeling?" "What is this?" "You don't even have a cyberbrain." "even if you want to." "Stay drifting along your emotional tides in the Metal sea." "Mr. Ha–ru." "My interest lies in humans." "part of Earth itself." "The ratio between land and sea is 3 to 7." "Humans are the same." "Is that why you are interested in me?" "Water accounts for more than 50% of the makeup of all plants and animals." "and vibrations." "And waves give rise to phenomena such as synchronicity and resonance." "synchronicity can be observed everywhere." "So are you saying that all water-containing matter are connected?" "Human connection can only be woven through words." "That is why I use words." "I know man." "I want to know everything there is to know about humans." "Some things cannot be completely expressed with words." "or skinship?" "It lacks concreteness." "Even feelings can be put in words." "I speak of something stronger." "Human connection perhaps is like the Earth Order within this planet." "Earth Order?" "Minamo!" "How did she find this place?" "Mr. Ha–ru." "Minamo!" "Come home." "Intense emotion can perhaps make the impossible possible." "Then the Earth Order too." "Haru." "I thought that I did not wish to return you to the real world." "But I found an even more interesting chat partner." "I'll give him back to you." "I won't tell you fortunes on the future of you two." "Minamo!" "Thank goodness." "It might be my imagination." "But did you go to see Eliza yourself to free the others?" "Mr. Haru!" "Minamo." "I am sorry." "Mr. Haru!" "What's wrong?" "You look down." "I was hoping at least to let her say goodbye to Mr. Haru." "and then made a rapid ascent." "We need to screen him carefully for decompression sickness." "I know that." "She is utterly strange. why would she say she wants to return to the sea?" "I feel that I understand." "Isn't she going to find a new chat partner? she might be able to hear stories she would never hear elsewhere without distraction." "The Earth Order." "the story of this planet itself." "That's it." "That could be it." "Eliza." "[Sender:" "Kazune Ichinose]" "[To Dr. Eiichiro Kushima] Good evening everyone." "playing the role of Minamo Aoi." "the island of never ending summer." "you ask." "This is no glamor shoot." "the concept behind Real Drive came from here Saipan." "The image of Metal is alive in the sea around Saipan." "And this little island serves as the model for the Artificial Island." "is experiencing all of this in real life." "please stay tuned next week." "Real Drive!"
