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.
