Let me project my hologram image first! p47 ORATORIO I've already found traces of Oracle...but it leads into the central computer bank which I have been unable to break into. I still need some more time! CODE How about Signal? p48 CODE He could be inside that area too. ORATORIO It's possible. CODE Then ... Oratorio, take me there. ORATORIO What? Shishou, I don't even know what's in there... CODE It doesn't matter! If there are any traps, I can use this to deal with them. ORATORIO p49 CODE I can slice whatever enemies there are into pieces instantly! Take me there now! ORATORIO Shishou...Even though I'm only a hologram, you shouldn't take so much liberty with your sword! ORACLE Signal! Wake up, Signal! p50 SIGNAL Fishies, fishies, swim in the sea...twinkle twinkle little star... (It's some children's rhyme. Sounds better in Japanese.) ORACLE Baka! What are you talking about? SIGNAL I'm fine. I just need to rest for a bit... ORACLE Signal! QUARTER You have no way of getting out of that prison. Give up, Signal! How typical of the newest HFR. Your spirit is very stubborn. Isn't that right, Oracle? ORACLE ... p51 SIGNAL A? I... ORACLE You're awake. SIGNAL Don't concern yourself about me! ORACLE Come back here! SIGNAL Hey you, Dr. Quesar's dog! When I get out of here I'm going to teach you a lesson! Answer..aahhh... QUARTER As I told you earlier, give it up! p52 SIGNAL I will never give up...huh? ORACLE Code! CODE It's Oracle. ORATORIO Oh...you're still alive. How are you, Oracle? ORACLE Oratorio... p53 ORACLE You're...Oratorio? You've replaced me... p54 ORATORIO That's right, I've transferred all your power into myself. I'm now in control of your computer network. You should thank me! ORACLE Mister...If you're not careful about what you're doing, you may not be able to return to your body. ORATORIO No problem! Anyway, whose our enemy? p55 QUARTER Oratorio, I haven't considered you as an enemy. It's just that we have opposite aims. CODE That's ORATORIO MIRA's data! Oracle! Isn't that our most top-secret data? Why does he have it? ORACLE If I didn't give it to him, he threatened to auto-destruct and destroy everything. I'm responsible for keeping all the data I house safe...I had no choice. ORATORIO He threatened to destroy you? He's clever. QUARTER Thank you. ORATORIO (curse) Give back the data on MIRA! CODE Act first, talk later! p56 SIGNAL Code, how long must you keep standing on me? CODE You're down there? QUARTER I wasted so much effort setting up the fence and traps around this area only to have you get in so easily. Too bad you can't use any of your powers while you're trapped in there. CODE That doesn't matter. I can cut through the wall if I have to. SIGNAL There's no rush! p57 CODE !? SIGNAL Code, can't your sword cut through anything? CODE Don't ask me about it! But I know I already cut through the bars... QUARTER The bars are self-repairing. You'll only waste your strength in trying to break out. p58 CODE That's SIRIUS? ORATORIO Damn! You even got that... SIGNAL We really can't get out? ORATORIO It's not possible! Since he over-rode the system, only he has power over the computer network. Unless we get it back... QUARTER Now that I have what I came for, I'll give back control of cyberspace to you. No, I should do that after I leave. SIGNAL/ORACLE/ORATORIO/CODE Grr----- p59 SIGNAL Why don't we try it again? ORATORIO Try what? SIGNAL Since my body is so small...I could squeeze through before the bars could repair themselves. ORACLE It's a 1 in 10,000 chance. Isn't that too dangerous? CODE No... p60 CODE Even if Chibi Signal gets through, he won't be able to stop that robot clone. ORATORIO That too. Shishou's very smart. ORACLE You two... CODE Okay, Signal! Since you're so brave, let's risk it! Once I slice the bars, you better get out quick. SIGNAL Understood! p61 SIGNAL Haaa! ORACLE Eh...he's going to make it! p62 CODE Signal? ORACLE Nooo... QUARTER Give up, even if the bars are cut, they will still electro-shock you if you try to get out. p63 ORATORIO It's bad! He's going to fry to death! SIGNAL Can't...I can't lose...I can't let him win! p64 QUARTER !? He's transformed back into his original form? Finished August 1998 by Chibi Mokona.
