??? = Quarter, (I was just too lazy to write out his full name most of the time)


p147
PULSE
You're a robot too...


p148
PULSE
I don't care about your purpose here.  If you leave now, I'll let you go.  
Stay and I won't hesitate to destroy you even though you're female.

QUEEN
Really?  Then, try it!


p152
???
Queen...How are you doing on your side?

QUEEN
It's as you predicted.  I'm currently fighting with Pulse.


p153
???
Is that right...Is Karma there also?

QUEEN
That robot mayor?  I haven't seen him around.

???
Hmmm....I still need some more time.  You two can keep playing.

QUEEN
Hai, I understand!

PULSE
She...who is she communicating with?  An accomplice?  Her movements and 
strength betray her to be a battle robot model!  Is there another line of 
HFRs besides the A-series robots?


p154
[flashback]
ORATORIO
He's a clone of me!  You'ld better be careful, you don't want to be 
cloned too.   


p155
PULSE
<Is it possible that this woman is my clone?>

QUARTER
You're fighting your own image, Pulse...Will you be able to utilize all 
your abilities in this situation?


p156
QUARTER
Queen will not hold back in the fight and with Pulse, there's definitely 
going to be a powerful head-on collision of power in this conflict.  This 
will expose a lot of secrets.  If Karma wasn't here, then things would be 
much easier to handle.  But, everything so far is as I predicted, they have 
possession of the auxillary support.  Bingo, I'm right on target.

ORACLE
You're so relaxed...


p157
ORACLE
For a person who has invaded my realm, imprisoned me, and sent an 
assassin in the real world to get rid of all who stand in your way...What 
is your real purpose here?  I mean you, you Oratorio Clone!

???
Don't say such things!  I only want the data that you so stubbornly 
protect.  All you have to do is tell me where it's hidden and I'll leave.

ORACLE
You're dreaming.  Everything within this computer network is confidential. 
No matter what happens, I'll never give it to you!

???
You're not capable of protecting yourself now, much less your data.  How 
long can you hold out?  Oracle!

ORACLE
Don't forget about Oratorio...He's coming to get you!

???
Let him.  I already have a little something prepared for his arrival.  A 
lot of little somethings indeed.

ORACLE
...<Where is that Oratorio?  The next time we meet, I'll murder him! *#%&*
(The rest of the words here are curses at Oratorio.)


p159
ORATORIO
I sense that someone's cursing at me!

CODE
Stop talking nonsense!  Open this door!

ORATORIO
If there's unhappy people about, their emotions transfers into (unhappy) 
electronic waves that permeate the cyber-realm.  I can't concentrate because 
of it.

CODE
That means that Oracle is still sound and healthy!  Great!

ORATORIO
Yeah, it must be Oracle.  I'll remember this!

SIGNAL/CHIBI
Code.

CODE
What is it, Signal?


p160
SIGNAL
Oracle isn't a robot, right?

CODE
Yes, but he does have a human character.

SIGNAL
What does he look like?

CODE
Mm...He looks like that guy over there.

ORATORIO
Shishou, how can you speak about me that way!  Don't think that 
I'll allow it.  Oracle and I are paired computers.  Uhh...I need 
to get up.  If anything happens to him, I'll have to replace him as the 
central computer.  I can't let that happen.


p161
CODE
Oracle will be fine Oratorio.

ORATORIO
If I become the central computer, I won't be able to flirt with girls 
anymore...

CODE
Just hurry up!

ORATORIO
Shishou!  Signal!  Get behind me quick!


p162
ORATORIO
I accidently triggered a trap!

CODE
Can you withstand it?

ORATORIO
You go ahead to find Oracle!  Quickly!


p163
ORATORIO
Signal!  Go first through the doors!

SIGNAL
...Hai!

ORATORIO
Shishou, you next!


p164
It's bad!  Was this all a part of the enemy's plan?  We've been played as 
fools.  Karma, can you hear me?  You have to go help Signal!  
Waahhh!
