Azurat and Bus Catch Up
Azurat: ...So, you were trapped inside a cargo shuttle and it launched off-schedule.
Bus: Not just that. All communications were jammed somehow.
Azurat: We were also experiencing network issues at the lab that morning.
Azurat: I don't blame you two for wanting to find dirt on Zetsfir.
Azurat: After you two disappeared, I did a little investigating on my own.
Bus: Oh? What did you find out?
Azurat: Zetsfir had knowledge of the future. Anyway...
Azurat: Do you have any idea where Ravenna might be?
Bus: Professor, I don't know how to tell you this but...
Azurat: What is it, Marvin?
Bus: I'm sure she's okay if you picked up on her tracking beacon...
Azurat: Did something happen to her?
Bus: She was badly injured right before the V-CORE activated.
Bus: A guard robot messed up her right arm and she ended up breaking it, too.
Azurat: She's well-trained in first aid. Did she manage to treat it?
Bus: Yes, she patched it up but she had still lost some blood.
Azurat: Her tracking beacon is in her radio. I hope it's still in her posession.
Bus: Professor, there are some people aware of her in this world.
Azurat: Really? That means she's okay!
Bus: Well... these people happen to be pretty horrible. I don't think we want them to find her.
Azurat: How do you know this?
Bus: These past ten years, I've been working as a mercenary to survive.
Bus: I've learned the local language in the Fumacine Empire and have done some work for the government there.
Azurat: You have connections! Political connections, no less. This is great news.
Bus: Hold on... it's not that great.
Azurat: You didn't get yourself into trouble, did you?
Bus: Not exactly. Well... it's complicated.
Bus: There's some kind of religion built around the story of Ravenna and her mom's arrival here.
Azurat: You're... you're kidding me. Are you serious?
Bus: Obviously they aren't mentioned by name.
Azurat: So much for keeping a low profile while we're here.
Azurat: You probably already realized this but since you and Ravenna survived the V-CORE's activation...
Azurat: My wife almost certainly did as well. She wasn't vaporized after all.
Bus: I realized that the moment I arrived here. That's awesome... I hope maybe we can find her, too.
Azurat: When did you first hear about these people looking for Ravenna? How do you know it's her?
Bus: They showed me a photograph. It's the same photograph Ravenna took of herself sitting under that tree...
Azurat: Marvin... when did you first hear about Ravenna in this world?
Bus: Just a few days ago. It was right before the incident with the space station.
Azurat: That disaster in orbit? Wait, that was around 44 days ago...
Bus: Wait, I'm talking about what happened today.
Azurat: It was all over the news. That happened 44 days ago.
Bus: That's... strange...
Azurat: Marvin, where have you been? Why were you in that escape pod...?
Bus: Professor... I was on the Morgan's Gate.
Azurat: How is that possible? That ship should be rusting apart by now!
Bus: Oh, it was when I arrived. It was restored and put back into orbit by...
