Escape and Rescue
Saja: I hope he's settling things in there.
Virulyde: Yeah. It seems like it's been a long time coming.
Virulyde: Yeah. Malachi was originally the heir to the throne.
Saja: I didn't want to say anything.
Saja: Vie, I've been meaning to ask you about something.
Virulyde: About how the hell we're supposed to get down from here?
Saja: No, although we need to think of something soon.
Saja: It's about the data that all Virulyde units contain.
Virulyde: This is kind of a weird time to bring that up, Commander.
Virulyde: It's data that I know is there but I don't have direct access to it.
Virulyde: What I know is that it's related to the operation of a system called "V-CORE" and all units have a copy stored within us.
Virulyde: Also, call it a hunch, but it might be the cause of some inexplicable memories.
Saja: Something about a brain used for research and another world? A suicide bomber?
Virulyde: Yeah. More or less.
Saja: Virulyde, haven't you noticed that Ravenna bears a striking resemblance to you?
Virulyde: No. That's ridiculous.
Saja: I mean your hair. You both have almost exactly the same hair.
Virulyde: Hmm. I dunno. I look this way because they designed me like this in Aufdek.
Virulyde: I'm not about to burn off all my hair like Malachi did!
Virulyde: Dregweht? That means...
Saja: Malachi! What happened?
Malachi: The prince decided to bail and gave me this nasty parting gift.
Malachi: More importantly, though...
Virulyde: Hey... what's that...?
Virulyde: Ah! They were tracking us. Here's our ride!
Ravenna: Hey, down there!
Karen: Stay put, we'll come in closer.
Saja: We were worried sick, Ravenna!
Ravenna: Sorry about that, Saja! I tried to find you but you were nowhere around.
Malachi: Thanks for rescuing us, Karen.
Karen: It's the least I can do. If you want to thank someone, thank Grady and Greta. This is their latest craft!
Virulyde: Man, it's huge! Good luck docking this at Pandora!
Karen: We actually use a mini shuttle between this and the station.
Saja: Well, let's go anywhere but Fumacine for the time being. I'm afraid things just got really complicated.
Grady: Folks, how about I give you the grand tour!
Grady: Presenting... the ShockShadow II! The new flagship of the Kaperthian fleet of transport craft.
Virulyde: Man, this thing is loaded! Three levels, triple ion thrusters, auto-gravity, onboard A.I...
Virulyde: Not to mention the aquarium filled with choccy fish, the orange juice dispenser, the mini bar...
Virulyde: I'm not even programmed to handle something this cool! Grady, you rock!
Grady: Thank our tireless engineering and manufacturing crews, Virulyde.
Saja: Grady, thank you so much for all of your help.
Grady: It's the least we can do, Miss Kabora.
Saja: Please, just call me Saja.
Grady: Here are the sleeping quarters.
Malachi: Cozy. If we're going to use this as our base of operations, this will come in handy.
Grady: In here is the conference room. All of the standard communications technology included, of course.
Dr. Maxwell: You never fail to impress, Mr. Kaperth.
Dr. Maxwell: Network connectivity is excellent.
Grady: The engine room, over here. Several different kinds of fuel can be used.
Grady: And here, of course, is the bridge. The ShockShadow II has an advanced autopilot but can be flown manually.
Malachi: Standard controls and avionics.
Malachi: Handles like a dream. This rivals any first class luxury shuttle!
Saja: Grady, is it really okay for us to use this?
Grady: Miss Saja, the Kaperth family strives to produce the best vehicles used for the benefit of all humankind.
Grady: There is simply no greater honor than to help those who protect us all from Zetsfir's evil forces.
Saja: Thank you. We are in your debt.
Saja: Now we need to plan our next move.
Saja: As long as the prince remains in control, we are all now fugitives.
