"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 Iggy." "Projected escape route for infected AutoReivs?" "Why did he have this?" "hades of future" "Hey..." "Let's not do that..." "Who are you?" "This way!" "or a river... or a shadow." "Immigration I.D." "It doesn't mean anything." "What?" "Who?" "That's the one." "aren't you Pino?" "Pino..." "It sure is hot in here." "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!" "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." "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." "a person could now become anything." "The words of Joe Bousquet." "Who?" "Joe Bousquet." "Joe... right?" "Where am I?" "Don't worry." "Your body fought off the virus." "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." "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." "Joe?" "Joe?" "Joe...?" "Joe?" "Joe?" "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... generous and sure protection... of that place." "I'm sure it's still the same beautiful place it's always been." "The whole city's just one big rotten 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." "Pino." "Let's have a good look." "Amazing!" "AutoReivs really do seem to be becoming more and more like us." "right?" "Over there?" "What do you mean?" "I mean Romdeau." "Romdeau." "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." "Vince?" "Vince?" "Outside Romdeau...?" "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 Iggy." "That must be horrible." "No." "That's not it." "Then what is it?" "Won't you tell me?" "No." "I can't say anything." "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." "Re-l?" "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!" "Daedalus." "All right." "Let's do it just like you said." "Will you tell me where it is?" "I know I came from there." "I was chased by the monster... 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?" "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." "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-l." "Daedalus?" "Sorry." "I know you can't talk about it." "I..." "Daedalus." "Looks like I've gotten you into some sort of trouble." "I just want you to leave the rest to me." "will you?" "You didn't find anything here." "Find anything?" "I've never even been here." "Good." "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?" "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-l..." "So you're an immigrant?" "right?" "I know the feeling." "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 Romdeau 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!" "didn't the old man say... this thing was the latest high-end model?" "I bet some high-level citizens must have owned her." "they might come looking for their lost possession." "Right young lady?" "Vince...!" "I'm kidding." "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." "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've just met." "I don't." "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." "forever." "Mark my word." "Yeah." "So what's your story?" "and whimpering?" "Nothing really." "Pino's a lot more grown-up than you are." "That may be true." "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 Romdeau unmanned spy craft." "They're very meticulous... everyday." "it doesn't look for us." "I suppose that's all we are." "Pino!" "You idiot!" "Wait!" "AutoReivs are...!" "Pino!" "Get down!" "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." "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 specimen's whereabouts." "It doesn't matter." "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 your joke amusing." "An anonymous whisper." "When you can see the invisible... you can no longer be your former self." "That's all right." "As long as it's still your true self."
