A Somber Decision
Malachi: Hey, Vie. How you feeling?
Virulyde: Really confused.
Malachi: Saja... I can't...
Malachi: Please excuse me.
Saja: Listen... Virulyde...
Saja: You were taken over, remotely, by some unknown party.
Saja: At this point in time, you are at risk. We are all at risk.
Saja: For the time being, I have no choice.
Saja: I have to deactivate you.
Virulyde: It's okay, Saja.
Virulyde: Dr. Maxwell should be able to identify the source of the malfunction and remedy it at the hardware level.
Virulyde: Alright. Let's get this taken care of.
Saja: Thanks for being so understanding, Virulyde.
Virulyde: Hey, there's a reason I have an emergency shutdown switch. We know what happened with the first 23 models.
Virulyde: The safety and security of Fumacine is my top priority.
Virulyde: You know the drill, commander. Right there on the back of my neck. Go ahead.
Saja: We'll get you repaired soon, Vie. Until then...
Saja: It's done. He's shut down for now.
Ravenna: Is he going to be okay?
Saja: Yes. He was created with an emergency shut off switch for this very reason.
Saja: We will return to Pandora and have Dr. Maxwell perform a full diagnostic.
Malachi: I'm sure they'll be able to determine what happened.
Saja: I'll need to contact HQ. Obviously, we have to abort the mission.
Saja: I'll be right back.
Ravenna: Do you think Virulyde will be okay?
Malachi: I think so, yeah. It just sucks to have to shut him down at all.
Malachi: It's so unfair that these kinds of things can happen.
Ravenna: So... the first 23 units went out of control?
Malachi: Yeah. They went berserk just like this and ended up killing a lot of people.
Malachi: Virulyde was supposed to be the first of a new line that was not susceptible to it.
Malachi: Dr. Maxwell found and removed other glitches in Virulyde before.
Malachi: It's going to be okay, Ravenna.
