Delphinus 3F dialogue

Wh-Who's there!?

Oh... It's just you, (your name). Don't scare me like that.

I thought you were a demon about to attack... I was ready to pull the trigger.

I'm McClane. I'm on the strike team, same as you.

Ungh...!

Oh... sorry. I got hurt when I was attacked from behind a little while back.

It was another strike team member who jumped me. There's no mistaking a Demonica, you know?

Whoever it was, I could tell there was something wrong...

It's possible the disease might've relapsed. I could see the signs.

The guy probably wasn't treated enough with the MK Gun.

I saw him head upstairs.

Could you go find and cure that crewman, whoever it is?

Me, I'm hurt... I shouldn't move for a while.

Ugh... Urgh...

Oh... It's you, (your name).

One of the crew's been infected again with the disease. He's attacking other crew members.

I saw someone in a Demonica climb the stairway up ahead.

We need to find whoever's infected and use the MK Gun.

Sorry, (your name), but can you go find and cure our crewmate?

Will you do it?

• Yes
• No

Sorry, man...

Be careful. I didn't see who the crewman was. Could be anyone.

There is a way to tell, though.

Whoever I shot has a wound on their right hand. Use that to identify him... or her.

It's possible that whoever it is can still reason on some level.

It might be hard to tell just by talking to 'em, so be careful.

I see... well, if you don't want to, then you don't want to.

But if we don't do something, the situation could get worse...

Remember, we're looking for someone with a wound on their right hand.

They might be able to act lucid thanks to their previous treatment.

The guy went upstairs. Watch yourself.

No one is here...

So this is where the Rosetta reading originated...

UNSIGHTLY HUMANS...

Who's that!?

Huh...? That voice... it didn't come from the radio!

It's... it's speaking directly into my head...!

A mysterious demon appeared!

A demon...!

Why isn't the Demonica getting a reading on it!?

I SHALL ALTER THE HUMAN SPIRIT INTO A BEAUTIFUL SHAPE!

(your name)... it's attacking!

Wh... What is this demon!?

I WILL LEAVE... FOR NOW...

WE SHALL... MEET AGAIN...

The demon and the giant hive disappeared.

The Demonica no longer shows the weak Rosetta reading...

The demon disappeared...!?

Oh, and the Rosetta reading's gone, too...

But... we didn't get the Rosetta!

This is Arthur speaking.

I have analyzed the entity believed to have contacted you through your Demonicas.

"Believed"...?

That is correct.

I confirmed the weak Rosetta reading.

However, I was unable to confirm the presence of the entity itself.

A demon undetectable by machines...

Judging by the chain of events and the inability of sensors to detect it, the entity you encountered...

It is most likely related to the Delphinus Parasite in some form.

The Delphinus Parasite...

Yes. However, I can draw no firm conclusions at present.

I have taken the precaution of checking your Demonica's bio- monitor.

I detected no abnormalities. There is no trace of mental parasites.

Now then, (your name), Zelenin.

You were unable to obtain the Rosetta on this excursion. However...

There are still multiple weak Rosetta readings in the sector.

You must resume the investigation.

...Hold on!

Are we going to have to fight a demon we don't even understand?

Yes. Due to the nature of the mission, combat is inevitable.

Obtaining the Rosetta must be our highest priority.

Should you become infected with the Parasite, we have the MK Gun. There is no need to worry.

No need to worry...?

Well... I suppose we can't escape here without the Rosetta, yes?

(your name). We seem to have no choice but to hunt the other Rosetta readings on the automap.

Continue the investigation.

There are still other Rosetta readings.

There is a giant hive-like thing in front of you.

The Demonica is showing a weak Rosetta reading...

Hopefully we can get the Rosetta this time.

Do you think the Delphinus Parasite demon is here, too...?

The mysterious demon appeared!

It's here!

WELCOME...

(your name) OF THE RED SPRITE, WHO LOST COMMANDER GORE.

AND ZELENIN, THE ELVE'S FIRST LIEUTENANT WHO FLED FROM MITRA...

What... I...!

Have we been under surveillance this whole time!?

YES, ZELENIN.

I AM WITHIN...

......!

So you ARE the Delphinus Parasite!

I HAVE SEEN THE MINDS OF HUMANS.

THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS A HIDEOUS THING! IT IS A FAR CRY FROM ITS MOST BEAUTIFUL SHAPE!

THUS, I CARED FOR THEM!

You peeping tom!

Zelenin fired the MK Gun!

But there was no effect...

No... It's not working!?

THAT CANNOT AFFECT ME!

NOW... I WILL TWIST YOU INTO A BEAUTIFUL SHAPE!

The mysterious demon attacked!

I WILL LEAVE... FOR NOW...

WE SHALL... MEET AGAIN...

The demon and the giant hive disappeared.

The Demonica no longer shows the weak Rosetta reading...

This is Arthur speaking.

I see that you were unable to obtain the Rosetta this time, either.

However, there are still other active Rosetta readings. Continue your investigation.

Arthur! Do you read me?

The weak Rosetta reading WAS the Delphinus Parasite!

But the MK Gun didn't work! What's going on!?

The MK Gun directly targets receptors in the human brain.

It is not designed to kill a free-floating parasite.

Meaning...?

Should you encounter the mental parasite and engage it...

You must confront it with weapons other than the MK Gun.

...You mean the Demon Summoning Program.

Yes. There will be situations where it is the best solution.

I don't want to use... that...

Continue the investigation.

There are still other Rosetta readings.

......

Continue the investigation.

There are still other Rosetta readings.

There is a giant hive-like thing in front of you.

The Demonica is showing a weak Rosetta reading...

The mysterious demon appeared!

The mysterious demon attacked!

YOUR STRENGTH IS... BEAUTIFUL...

ENTERTAIN ME... LIKE... THAT...

The demon and the giant hive disappeared.

The Demonica no longer shows the weak Rosetta reading...

This is Arthur speaking.

I see that you were unable to obtain the Rosetta this time, either.

However, there are still other active Rosetta readings. Continue your investigation.

Continue the investigation.

There are still other Rosetta readings.

There is a giant hive-like thing in front of you.

The Demonica is showing a weak Rosetta reading...

...I know you're there, aren't you!? Show yourself!

ZELENIN...

DO YOU KNOW HOW THOSE AROUND YOU SAW YOU?

What...?

LUSTFUL THOUGHTS... PREJUDICIAL THOUGHTS...

ALL HAD BLACK DESIRES SMOLDERING DEEP WITHIN THEM...

Wh-What are you saying...!?

THE CREW OF THE ELVE SAW YOU WITH LUSTFUL EYES...

Stop it...!

What do you want!?

...HMHMHM.

(your name), Zelenin.

Unnecessary contact with that demon is dangerous. Eliminate it.

The mysterious demon appeared!

DO NOT TURN YOUR EYES FROM REALITY...!

STARE DEEP INTO THE TRUTH...

Ahhh!

The demon attacked Zelenin!

Mistress Zelenin! Look out!

An angel emerged from Zelenin's Demonica and stood before the demon!

TCH... STAY OUT OF MY WAY...! IT WAS GOING SO WELL... WHAT A STUBBORN WOMAN...

AH! BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MAN?

I WILL LEAVE... FOR NOW...

WE SHALL... MEET AGAIN...

The demon and the giant hive disappeared.

The Demonica no longer shows the weak Rosetta reading...

This is Arthur speaking.

I see that you were unable to obtain the Rosetta this time, either.

However, there are still other active Rosetta readings. Continue your investigation.

I'm sorry, (your name). I shouldn't be heeding the words of a demon.

This is proving to be quite the difficult mission...

Continue the investigation.

There are still other Rosetta readings.

There is a giant hive-like thing in front of you.

The Demonica is showing a weak Rosetta reading...

(your name), Zelenin.

I say again, unnecessary contact with the demon there is dangerous.

Jimenez and the other crewmen serve as reminders. Defeat it immediately.

You're right, Arthur. I'm sorry to have worried you.

......!

The demon is here!

The mysterious demon appeared!

ZELENIN...

ZELENIN...

Sorry, but I can't be bothered to listen to your nonsense!

WHY DO YOU GIVE WORTHLESS HUMANS THE RIGHT TO LIVE...?

WHY DO YOU ALLOW THE BEAUTIFUL SPIRITS TO BE TRAMPLED ON?

......

IS IT TRULY THE DEMONS WHO CAUSE YOU SUFFERING? IS IT NOT REALLY THE HUMANS...?

...(your name)! Hurry and defeat it!

IF YOU DARE INTERFERE WITH MY PLANS...

YOU WILL DIE!

YOU HUMANS... HAVE POTENTIAL...

THEN... I SHALL... RETURN... EVERYTHING.

The demon and the giant hive disappeared.

The Demonica no longer shows the weak Rosetta reading...

COME... I SHALL SHOW YOU... MY TRUE FORM...!

Hm...? The readings... they're all disappearing!

The Rosetta readings on the automap all disappeared...

(your name)! Zelenin! Can you hear me!?

The Rosetta readings have gone... What happened?

...They disappeared when you defeated the demon!? You didn't get the Rosetta, did you!?

Shit! Our only lead is gone...!?

Attention, all hands.

We lost the Rosetta readings, but the demon is likely proceeding to the next stage of its plan.

All crewmen are advised to carry out their duties with caution.

"I shall show you my true form..."

That's what he said. He must be here somewhere!

But... Where?

Continue the investigation.

There are still other Rosetta readings.

Here we are... all right, I'll explain my idea.

Since we haven't been able to catch the Rosetta's signal so far, I'll try amplifying the detection.

Right now, your Demonica is searching for the Rosetta from a single point.

But from two points, we can triangulate, which should give us much better results.

I'll connect my Demonica to yours and form a powerful antenna.

Don't worry if you don't understand the process. It's not hard, just follow my directions.

The left and right sides of this area are big enough to try it, so let's go inside.

Which do you want? Left or right?

• I'll take the right side.
• I'll take the left side.

All right. I'll set up opposite your position.

I'll call you when you reach your mark.

Hey! We're in charge of this area. Get back to your own investigation.

Huh? No one told you!? Impossible!

...Well, maybe I did forget to tell you, but...

That's beside the point!

How's it look for me if you get all the results!?

From now on, this investigation is about one guy: me! Got that!? I don't wanna hear any bitching!

Go back and investigate your own turf already!

Just go! Don't piss me off, man!

I see you're in position, (your name). Let's begin detecting the Rosetta.

First, let's make sure the automap sensor is active...

All right, that checks out.

Next, can you up the radio output while maintaining your connection with me?

...All right, that's good. Keep it at those levels.

I'll enter the magnetic field data into my mapping sensor.

And here we go... There'll be a short hiccup in communications.

...

......

.........

...All done, thank you. You can go ahead and restore your suit's normal settings.

How do the results look...?

...Hmm?

Hm... Hmmmm...

I just looked over the results... The experiment seems to have been a failure.

I'm picking up more noise than usual, that's all... No Rosetta reading anywhere.

I thought it might work, but... I guess it's back to the drawing board for us.

Sorry I couldn't be of more use, (your name).

Looks like it'll be up to the strike team's hard work to find it.

At this point, I wouldn't even mind if Jimenez got results.

Oh, right... there was something I wanted to give you, (your name).

I also want to talk about our next move, so let's meet by the stairs we just came up from.

Er, (your name)... don't you know right from left?

The position you chose is 3 o'clock from here.

Be sure not to make this sort of error in a critical mission, okay? I'm a little worried.

I'll give you a call when you get there.

I also want to talk about our next move, so let's meet by the stairs we just came up from.

Er, (your name)... don't you know right from left?

The position you chose is 9 o'clock from here.

Be sure not to make this sort of error in a critical mission, okay? I'm a little worried.

I'll give you a call when you get there.

...A shame that didn't work.

But I don't understand why the Rosetta search is having such problems.

Is there no chief demon in this sector?

I suppose it's possible... we don't really know much about this world.

Oh, that's right, I wanted to give you something.

Can you take a look at this?

It's a forma I found while collecting samples. Strange, isn't it?

I think the strike team would get more use out of it than me.

Maybe it'll open new doors... Or maybe I'm expecting too much from it.

We'll just have to keep looking for areas we haven't checked yet...

......! Aaaahh!

Booo! Booo!

A demon...!?

Oh, this is... Jimenez's demon?

Buga, boo! Jimenez! Buga, boo! Jimenez!

Gooooo! Gooooo!

I think... it's calling us?

Let's follow it, (your name)!

Booo! Booo!

Came! Friend! Bugaboo!

Is... Is that... Jimenez...!?

......

What happened, Jimenez!?

Did you find the Rosetta demon!?

...ate... H... a...

Jimenez...!?

...ate... ate... H... Hate...!

Urrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaah!

Jimenez attacked!

Jimenez is confused!

Get back, (your name)! Hurry, get far away from me...!

Buga! Bugga...! Jimenez! Jimenez!

You too, Bugaboo!

I'm already... Argh...!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh...!

...Kill! I'll kill you all!

Boooooooooooo!

(your name)! He's gone crazy!

In his current state, it's kill or be killed...!

Emergency. Emergency. Calling all active crew in Delphinus.

I have detected abnormalities in several crewmen.

Something is interfering with their consciousnesses and causing them to exhibit extreme aggression.

It is an unknown pathological status.

We must secure the safety of the healthy crewmen...

As well as avoid harming any who have become infected.

All crewmen who can understand this order, return to the ship.

......

Crewman (your name), First Lieutenant Zelenin.

Crewman Jimenez is one of the infected. Step away from him.

Everyone's sick...!? What's going on!?

(your name)... I think we should do as Arthur says.

I'm worried about Jimenez, but we have no choice right now!

You returned to the Red Sprite...

Continue the investigation.

There are still other Rosetta readings.

It's a member of the crew...

It's Jimenez. He doesn't seem to have noticed you yet...

What will you do?

• Fire the MK Gun
• Leave

You aimed the MK Gun at Jimenez.

Bugga! Booooooooo!

Jimenez! Danger! Booooooooo!

Bugaboo got in the way!

Hey! He's trying to save your master!

Don't interfere!

...Raaaaaaaar! Who are you...!?

The enemy... You're the enemy!

It's hopeless, (your name)! Shoot them both!

You fired the MK Gun.

...Urrrrrgh!

Mboooooooooo!

How's Jimenez!?

......

.........

......? Where the hell am I!?

Crewman (your name), Crewman Jimenez is recovering.

I believe the Delphinus Parasite has been cured.

Take him into protective custody.

(your name)...? You're taking me to the Red Sprite...?

I dunno what's going on, but... I guess I should listen.

......! You're here too, Bugaboo!?

Hold on, (your name)! Let me get him back in my Demonica first!

Jimenez returned Bugaboo to his Demonica.

I don't really... remember anything... but I feel like you protected me, Bugaboo...

Thanks...

...Are you sure you're thanking the right person?

Well, of course I'm grateful to you guys too... Ugh!

Man... what happened? I'm aching all over...

You took Jimenez back...

You left quietly, so as not to startle Jimenez...

It's a member of the crew...

The crewman is wary of his surroundings.

(your name)! It's dangerous over there! Get clear!

It's not just Jimenez... The source of the disease could be nearby!

Someone appeared in front of you!

......

The man looks like Gore.

You are... (your name)...

This body is telling me that. Who... are you?

You talked to Gore.

...Are you speaking to the one who once inhabited this body?

He is dead... No, reborn...

Yes, reborn. I have become all.

My consciousness is one with this planet's...

I have become the one who decides the fate of mankind.

(your name)? What's wrong? Did you run into trouble?

The Earth is being destroyed at the hands of humans.

You despoil the earth, grow in numbers, and leave poison behind. Humans have become a disease.

To cure itself of this disease, the world birthed this holy land.

The human disease will be expunged by the demon antibodies.

It is the only way for the Earth to survive.

Gore edged near you...

If you had the proper spirit, you would be able to feel the human karma that permeates this land.

Joy in slaughter... addiction to desire... Infinite consumption and excretion beyond salvation...

A destiny of destruction is in mankind's character.

The man who inhabited this body would have lamented that fact...

......

Do you not want to revert the tide...?

Do you not want to release the Earth from arrogant human rule and restore its true character?

Won't you end man's rule on Earth?

• I will.
• I can't let that happen.

Then why don't you cease this invasion of the Schwarzwelt?

• All right.
• I can't.

Do not answer him, (your name)!

You stopped answering.

...You cannot decide.

Whatever you say, the Earth's revenge cannot be stopped...

...In the end, you are merely a human, unable to do anything.

But...

......

Though no one wished it, the Earth's will has been awakened from its slumber.

Now that it is awake... events will no longer be dictated by human desire.

......

Gore lowered his guard...

......

Then you are left to traverse this land, bearing the burden of mankind's karma.

Either you can be ripped to shreds by the demons...

Or undone from within by Asura's poison...

......!

Another... comet... has moved...

The iron... comet... of calamity...

I must... immediately...!

Gore disappeared...

I see that you have found Commander Gore's body.

Mission "Inquiry into Commander Gore's Body" is confirmed complete.

Calm yourself, (your name), and listen to my orders.

At present, I have no way of determining what happened to Commander Gore.

It is unlikely that he could survive without a Demonica.

It is possible that he has been possessed by a demon, or perhaps revived as a ghost.

In either scenario, judging by his actions, he is no longer fit to command this ship.

Commander Gore is no more.

We are faced with the fact that Gore's body is being animated by a supernatural power.

He is an extraneous factor in your mission.

To focus on the Gore anomaly will result in losing critical time in our mission.

All hands listening to this transmission, understand that.

Should you encounter Gore at any time in the future, defeat him or avoid him. Do not contact him.

Now return to your duties.

(your name). I will dismiss your behavior in conversation with Gore as stress-related.

Put it out of your mind and resume your duties.

Continue the investigation.

There are still other Rosetta readings.

There is nothing here.

There is nothing here.
