Delphinus 4F dialogue

I'm sick of this! I hate the dark...

I might be a monster, but even we can be afraid of the dark...

I heard there's a treasure here that's like a night-light, but...

I can't take another step in the darkness! I wanna go home!

It's pitch black past here, (your name).

We should come up with a strategy for dealing with this.

If you've gathered a lot of forma, going back to the Red Sprite might be a good idea.

The forma you have obtained has been identified as a rare forma.

Three crewmen are standing here...

Hey... another crewman!?

Alright, which one of you guys is infected?

C'mon, man... don't ask me...

Isn't it you? I mean, you're the one who brought it up.

You're the least rational out of all of us here. That's suspicious, I'd say.

Whoa, whoa... calm down, both of you.

There's no point in arguing like this.

Let's all head back to the Red Sprite and...

Aha! It's you! You're the one that's infected!

You're waiting to get back on board the Red Sprite so you can kill everyone, huh?

I'm right, aren't I? You don't fool me!

Wh-What are you talking about!?

You're a strike team member! You need to get a grip, man!

I think you're the infected one!

Isn't that right, (your name)?

• That's right.
• Show me your right hands.
• Just use the MK Gun!

What!? You too...?

Sorry, but it's three to one against you. That settles it.

You prepared to fire the MK Gun...

W-Wait! It's not me!

What? You want to see our right hands?

Why would you want to do that?

Oh... a crewman who was attacked told you the infected person has a wounded right hand?

All right.

If you're not infected, you should have no problem showing it.

Let's see everyone's hands.

As you can see, my hand is fine.

Er, okay.

You wanna see it? Here. Not so much as a scratch, right!?

What about you, (your name)?

You showed the others your right hand.

(your name)'s clean, too.

Which leaves...

You checked the remaining crewman's hand.

There is a wound on his right hand...

W-Wait! You got it all wrong!

Yeah, my right hand is hurt.

But I got this when the infected crewman attacked me!

He hit me from behind... I got this defending myself.

Didn't I just finish explaining this to you two!?

That's true, but...

Hey...! Let me ask you this, (your name).

That other crewman you met said he gave the infected man a wound on his right hand, right?

Could it be him that was...?

Hey...

(your name)... What are you doing...!?

Whoa, whoa... Wait...!

You fired the MK Gun.

Ugh...!

Argh...!

Ungh...

.........

Uh... did anything change?

It's hard to tell the effects...

So, which one of us was infected?

You checked everyone for changes.

There is no change in anyone...

That's weird.

All three of us were fine...

You suddenly notice a presence behind you!

Crewman McClane, the one who requested you take this mission, is standing there...

Well, well, the gang's all here!

Thanks for finding them. Following you made it much easier than doing it myself.

Gwahaha! I'll kill you all...

You took damage.

So it WAS you...!

...Grrrrr! You're all dead...!

Crewman McClane summoned demons and attacked!

Grrrr... ......

The crewman staggered back...

You used the MK Gun.

.........

Ugh...

Why am I... here...?

You explained the situation.

No way... I did that...?

Sounds like you saved me. Thanks.

Problem solved, I guess.

This "brainwashing ray"...

I can't say I like having it around, but it did save our bacon.

Thanks, (your name). We owe you one.

Now, let's go back to base.

Either you lost in battle or an error has occurred.

You weren't supposed to see this message. Leave now... leave while you still can!

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.

Warning. Powerful demon detected...

Warning. Powerful demon detected...

A stone statue is here...

The statue is giving off a powerful energy reading...

What's this statue...?

I can feel energy coming from it... It's like... a pressure I can feel in my bones...

That demon! Look, it's...!

The demon entered the statue!

The demons are gathering...!

The statue turned into a demon!

Human who has defeated my false statues, I shall allow you to look upon me.

Behold...

The heavenly giant your kind once worshipped as Asura.

So you're the cause of the Delphinus Parasite!

Tell me, humans...

Why do you do nothing but try to escape this world?

This place you know as the Schwarzwelt is what you have brought upon yourselves...!

What...!?

Your spirits have lost their once- beautiful shape!

You covet material goods and do injury to your planet. You are vile, vulgar spirits!

Therefore, this Schwarzwelt has appeared to test you.

That is why I entered you and gave you the opportunity to polish your spirits to a fine sheen.

And still, you humans can think of nothing but escape.

Why will you not polish your spirits!?

Why do you not seek to become beautiful?

"Testing"? "Polishing"? That's barbaric and insane!

I know full well there is evil in the world...

But if we can convince everyone to observe order, we can make it a better world!

Humanity won't better itself by fighting! It's wrong!

"Order"? Nonsense!

I have observed this world for thousands of years, since what you would call ancient times...

The human spirit was once beautiful.

The strong ruled the people, while the people respected the strong, cursing their own weakness.

It was because of the chaos in that ancient world that the spirits of humans were made beautiful!

But the foolish notion of "order" has caused the human spirit to wither and decay.

"Order" is nothing but comfort for the weak!

The weak deserve only the comfort of death!

We must bring chaos back into the world and halt the decay of the human spirit!

No... You can't!

It was the advent of civilization when the Earth began to rot!

That is why we were sent here! It was the Earth's will that we bring back chaos! Bring back power!

It is not wrong... it is beautiful!

Do you still not understand...?

Will you stand by and watch the Earth decay?

And with it, your spirit...?

• That's all a lie.
• It's the demons' fault.
• We're recovering already.

...It seems a rotten spirit cannot be told that it is rotten!

I am not one to make my arguments with words!

Unfortunately, your spirits are not yet in a beautiful shape.

I will use my power to reshape them thus!

Do you think that saying so will shield you from the truth!?

You have been told the lie many times that we are the source of all evil...

Thus further estranging humanity from its true nature!

Unfortunately, your spirits are not yet in a beautiful shape.

I will use my power to reshape them thus!

Hm... it seems you have lent an ear to some of my words...

But I will brook no lie that you are already recovering!

Or...

Perhaps you think you have the spirit to defeat me...!?

Then come! I shall show you a truly beautiful spirit!

Humans...

Do not think... this is... the end...

It is too late... to stop the Earth... from being filled... with chaos!

Hahahahahaha...

Hahahahahahahahahahaha...!

Asura died.

You did it, (your name)!

The victory rings a little hollow, but...

Hm? Look...!

There is something on the ground.

This is Arthur speaking.

The Rosetta reading in this sector is none other than the manifold before you.

Secure the Rosetta and return to the ship.

So ends our mission in this sector, eh?

I'm so tired...

But I'm sure you have it worse than I do. You've been fighting this entire time...

Physically and mentally, your time in the Scharzwelt is making you stronger...

Whereas I'm only still standing by the grace of the angels.

Continue the investigation.

There are still other Rosetta readings.

There is a stone statue in front of you...

The statue looks fearsome, but it doesn't seem to be dangerous...

Nothing else is here.

There is nothing here.
