Huh? p27 HARMONY ...Karma, you've finally returned. KARMA Harmony! Where's Pulse? HARMONY He's still outside fighting! KARMA They're down there? p31 QUEEN Not bad, Pulse! I never thought that you would last this long. PULSE Fighting with something like you doesn't make me feel (good). Karma! KARMA Pulse, calm down! p32 KARMA You battle robots become insane while you're fighting. You always destroy everything around you and expect me to clean up after you afterwards... PULSE How could you think about that at a time like this? KARMA I don't think that you would want to continue this fight considering it's 2 against 1, right? Dr. Quesar's robot? PULSE Dr. Quesar? QUEEN I don't mind the odds... p33 QUEEN So you've seen through me. Of course you would, you're the most intelligent of the A-series robots, A-K Karma. KARMA A-K...You know who I am? Of course... p34 QUARTER Well, Oracle? Let's make a deal. Don't worry, it's a fairly simple exchange. SIGNAL Oracle, don't listen to Quesar's robot! ORACLE Signal, be quiet! SIGNAL Ouch... p35 QUARTER Is your back itching? ORACLE It's nothing! You said you wanted information, but exactly what kind of info? QUARTER Professor Otoi's latest invention, the MIRA, and SIRIUS. Those are the only two things I want. p36 SIGNAL What did you say? MIRA and SIRIUS? ORACLE Signal! SIGNAL You already tried to use A-A Atrandom to steal the MIRA and now you want SIRIUS too? QUARTER Huh? Signal? Why have you become so small? SIGNAL Shut up! QUARTER So, the third person who entered cyberspace with Oratorio and Code is you, the newest HFR, Signal. SIGNAL You shut up, shut up, shutup! ORACLE And if I don't hand over the data? SIGNAL Oracle! Let go! p37 QUARTER Then I will activate my auto-destruct and destroy you and all your precious data! SIGNAL What! ORACLE Auto-destruct? What good would that do for you? QUARTER It won't. p38 QUARTER Except for Dr. Quesar's greatness. It is Dr. Quesar's last command. I will do anything for him, Oracle... ORACLE You really mean it? QUARTER Of course. Isn't that a robot's duty? p39 SIGNAL No, it isn't! Don't! Don't do it...That's an unreasonable order. Why do you obey it? QUARTER Unreasonable? I must obey because we are nothing but robots! Isn't that right, Signal? p40 ORACLE Signal! QUARTER I'm asking you for the last time! Tell me where the data is...or do you both want to die? p41 ORACLE Grr... QUARTER Hmph! It seems like you don't have a choice...Talk! ORACLE 72-IVAR...remove the 53-IICR red book. You will see a new wall appear, then... p42 ORACLE After doing that, you will be able to retrieve the data... QUARTER I'm going to try it now! ORACLE Signal! Are you alright? Signal? p43 SIGNAL Umph...damn..damn it! ORACLE Signal! SIGNAL Urgh! ORACLE Signal, it's no use... p44 ORACLE The bars will automatically fry you if they sense that you are trying to escape. Give up... SIGNAL Grr...aaa! ORACLE Signal... SIGNAL I won't give up...I absolutely can't give up! Finished August 1998 by Chibi Mokona.
