E: Great, you seem like an honest fellow. K: Mori. E: That's the name of the emergency preservation pack's manufacturer. E: Hey! Wait! p154: E: Killy, change your eye filters. There's a door in the facade. p157: E: There are various things, but... there aren't any humans to be found. p161: E: Ah, I understand. They were originally builders. E: But what's with their strange shapes? K: I'm looking for net terminal genes. K: Are there any humans around here? E: Normally, builders shouldn't respond. p159: E: Oh. B: He's dying. p161: E: Well? E: What about the genes? p162: E: Maybe he's the one who transformed these builders. ----------- LOG.57: The Observer p169: K: There's an exit 3000km ahead. E: 3000km!! E: You can see that far!? E: That's an amazingly high resolution. p172: E: Hey E: Killy E: Are you sleeping? p173: E: You didn't move for a very long time, so I thought you might have died. E: Well, actually I wanted to ask you something. E: Oh, by the way, from which age does your body's design originate from? E: There wouldn't be any ISB4 standard slot, would there? E: If you have a free one, could you perhaps connect my reserve pin to it? p174: E: This is it. p175: E: I'm sorry. E: I wanted to borrow your body for just a little bit. p182: E: That's strange.... p184: E: Wha... p185: E: Problems, Killy! My emission sensors are broken!! E: There's no readings apart from the floor! O: That's unusual. p186: O: I've been observing this area for a long time, but it's the first time I've met a living being here. p187: E: What's this!? O: Some superannuated construction fell down. This happens quite often around here. O: This here is a spherical space and it's average diameter is about 143000 kilometers. p188: O: The structure is still being continued. E: Is there anyone besides yourself? O: I conjecture that at one time raw materials for a city were stowed away in this space. p189: O: There's evidence such as enormous production facilities and builders which remained in this place. O: The still operational core axis tower was most certainly indispensible for stabilizing the former contents of this place. O: I'd like to study the tower in more detail, but the watchman won't let me near it. E: Watchman? O: Yes, there's a watchman. It's a safeguard. O: Sorry, but you're hindering my observations. Would you mind going on your way? p190: E: HEY!!! p191: E: What the hell did you do? K: That was a silicon creature. p197: E: Where are you heading? E: There's a watchman at the tower. You heard him, didn't you? END BOOK 9
