Bad Tidings
Virulyde: Man... I feel like I was out for a long time.
Saja: You were shut down for 54 days, Virulyde.
Virulyde: This room seems vaguely familiar...
Saja: We're on the lower deck of the ShockShadow II.
Malachi: It's been remodeled as a lab for Dr. Maxwell and Karen.
Virulyde: Ah, a mobile lab, huh? That's useful. Looks like all new equipment, too.
Virulyde: They didn't bring anything from Pandora? That's kind of strange.
Saja: Virulyde... uh... about that...
Virulyde: Saja, don't take this the wrong way but...
Virulyde: You don't look too well. Are you okay?
Saja: I'll be fine. I just need to get a little rest before our next mission.
Saja: Here's your cape, by the way.
Virulyde: Hey, thanks! Now I feel more complete.
Virulyde: I'm going to grab a glass of orange juice. I need one like you wouldn't believe!
Saja: Virulyde... we'll meet you on the bridge.
Virulyde: Good deal. See you up there!
Malachi: Are... you going to tell him?
Saja: Yes. We owe him the truth. It's not fair to keep him in the dark.
Malachi: Right. It's best to fill him in as quickly as possible.
Ravenna: I really need to start looking for Bus...
Ravenna: Virulyde! Welcome back!
Ravenna: How are you feeling?
Virulyde: Really thirsty. Otherwise, fine.
Ravenna: Um... how much do you remember?
Virulyde: Pretty much everything until I went to sleep.
Virulyde: I'm already aware of the system modifications Dr. Maxwell made.
Dr. Maxwell: Take it easy for a while.
Dr. Maxwell: The upgrades allow you to control your transformation now.
Virulyde: It definitely feels different. At first I thought it was just grogginess from being shut down for so long.
Dr. Maxwell: I'll let Saja fill you in on what's happened while you were down.
Dr. Maxwell: Ravenna, please come down to the lab with me.
Ravenna: Sure thing, Doc.
Virulyde: Something isn't right. I can feel an odd tension in the air.
Virulyde: I may be wrong but... something terrible has happened, hasn't it...?
Saja: Listen... Virulyde...
Saja: Our next mission is in the Ice Plains. There should be a V-CORE there.
Virulyde: Understood. Hey, Saja?
Virulyde: Is there something else I need to know?
Saja: Uh... yeah, actually... I don't know how to tell you this, but...
Virulyde: It's obvious something really bad happened.
Virulyde: ... don't tell me, it's --
Saja: Obliterated it. We were on our way back from Goliath when it happened.
Saja: We need to get the V-CORE copy and then we can take the battle to their territory.
Saja: There's even a small chance we can go back in time and prevent what happened.
Saja: Are you feeling up to the task? We're the only team who can do this.
Virulyde: Those bastards...
Virulyde: Do you really think you needed to ask?
Virulyde: Of course I'm up for it.
Virulyde: I'll give up my own life to save our world from Zetsfir.
Virulyde: You can mark my words on that.
Virulyde: I'm in. Let's do this.
