Landing in the Ice Plains
Saja: Malachi, you're okay with waiting here, right?
Malachi: Yes. As the plan goes, I'll stand by in case we need to leave immediately.
Virulyde: If Zetsfir starts to attack, we don't want the ShockShadow II to be a target.
Virulyde: You'll be on standby too, Dregweht. Weapon mode!
Saja: Let's head out. Malachi, if there's trouble, be prepared to lift off.
Saja: Pick up the pace, you two.
Virulyde: Do you want to build a snowman?
Saja: Let it go, Virulyde.
Ravenna: You weren't kidding about the temperatures!
Virulyde: My sensors are picking up the signature of a V-CORE replica in the area.
Virulyde: It should be relatively near by.
Saja: Virulyde, do you still have a lock on it with your short range sensors?
Virulyde: It keeps fading in and out.
Saja: Kadmas had an old outpost around here from an old war.
Virulyde: I hope there's nothing there that would cause a false positive.
Ravenna: Would something like that really be out in the open?
Ravenna: It seems to me they'd put it underground in some kind of bunker.
Ravenna: Kaperth's climate, from the start, immediately seemed cooler than Earth's.
Ravenna: The temperatures on the polar caps really are a lot more extreme than I thought!
Virulyde: I'm getting a stronger reading now, Saja.
Ravenna: You can connect directly to the V-CORE, right, Virulyde?
Virulyde: As long as it has some kind of residual power source.
Virulyde: Since it's emitting some kind of signal, I'll try to connect as soon as we're close enough.
Virulyde: I've had a lot of time to think about it and I've figured out quite a few things.
Virulyde: Thanks to my powers of deduction, I've come to understand some aspects of that old legend.
Saja: Virulyde, let's concentrate --
Virulyde: All Virulyde units were created using residual data from two beings. This "angel" person and... "Gesh".
Saja: Seriously, now is not the --
Virulyde: The "angel" provided DNA for the design of the bodies while the minds were modeled after "Gesh"...
Ravenna: So, basically, you and the V-CORE contain elements from his brain.
Ravenna: That explains the brain tank...
Virulyde: Well, elements from his subconscious. My mind was stabilized but the other units weren't so lucky...
Saja: But, yeah, Virulyde, the Maxwells dug into the whole thing pretty deeply and found out some other things, too.
Saja: Ugh, see, now you've got me distracted...
Ravenna: Hey, take a look over there!
Virulyde: The signal is getting stronger.
Saja: That must be the entrance.
