Jawhar. Alien the Cat , Liv s store. She sells mobiles, robots, gadgets, and all kinds of semi-legal software. We bought this place back in 2213...I think. Olivia de Marco. Liv amongst friends. She probably has a million different aliases on the Wire. Liv. She s got about a million screens, and hook-ups to every service there is, but I don t think she ever watches anything. Liv s workshop. It looks like a war zone. Total chaos. I m afraid I ll crush something if I go in there. Liv s workshop is back there. Okay, so I can t fix either of these. They re totally fried. Do you have any replacement parts? I have a power source here somewhere. Hold on. That should work just fine. But I don t have a processing crystal in stock, I m afraid. If you can t fix this one, then what about Lucia s memories? The data s continuously backed up to a separate crystal. You can use any Watilla brain you want. Okay. I ll have to figure it out myself. Thanks so much, Liv. No way. Those things are loaded with nanites. I m probably being paranoid...but something feels off about her. I should be able to climb up there. The lab is filling with some kind of gas. The pod s here. Examine present Downtown Casablanca. Impressive skyline. I can almost see my house from here. Well, actually, that s the other direction. But, you know, I could. The pod s gone. Examine gone It s the call button for the elevator pod. Examine panel The call button doesn t work. Examine panel out of order He s right outside. He s as short as he is loud. You cannot miss him. After that, you will only need to follow Ayrede Avenue until you reach the South Gate. Well, you look like you need all the help I can give you, child. Hiya. Out for a jog? Yup. Well, I m actually heading down to the gym for a quick work-out before lunch. Um, yeah, I m running a bit late. You should hurry. Jama won t be happy. I know, I know. I m on my way. All right, I ll see you there! We get dinner from Sushi-ya at least once a week. So I spend a few hours at Moca Loco every day. What s the big deal? I never knew they sold Bingo! Caffeinated baby food here. That stuff is tasty. Everything looks so good. The new issue of Aeons has an article about the Collapse. I should check that out at some point. Corporate Weekly has an interview with that WATIcorp woman, Gilmore. Looks like they re about to announce something pretty big soon. Magazines. I ve never seen that thing on. Jama doesn t watch anything. And doesn t Jama always keep that screen switched off? This is getting a bit freaky... Hey, weren t you supposed to be there already? I don t know their names, but they live in the neighbourhood. Um, what am I doing with these kids? What would I say to them? Stay in school ? Talk to boys Jama s studio is on the top floor. That s where my gym is. I ve been going pretty much every day since I moved back, and I feel a lot healthier. And lighter. My gym is in that building. I don t like those old, elevated freeways. They should move all the traffic underground, just like they ve done downtown. The door is open. That s really strange. The EYE s put a clamp on the door. Examine bolted I don t think Reza s home. Knock I think...she s dead. What the hell is that thing? I m not touching it. Olivia would probably know how to disable that...that horrible thing. It s got some sort of logo on it. A golden lion s head. I ll need to stay super quiet, especially if I wake it up. Otherwise...zap. Not pleasant. I saw it happen to a guy at a concert once. Examine sneak Olivia wired me the software I need to disable the spider. All I need to do is establish a remote connection with my mobile. Examine hack Okay. Let s try this. If I screw it up, I ll have to find some other way to disable the spider. Damn. I screwed up. The spider s going to alter its security codes now. Yes! I did it! The spider s been disabled! That was intense. I m so proud of myself. Zoë one, spider zero. Examine dead Let s try this again. Shit, it s scanning the room! I need to stay completely still. Examine scanning It s heading straight for me! Examine alerted Sorry, Lucia. This belongs to Wonkers. Remove brain again Lucia...? Swordfish Hiya, Zoë! Please, please let this work... That s the password, Zoë! He keeps a notepad in his safe. It contains information about the stories he s currently working on. Follow me, Zoë. I ll open the safe for you. Lucia s shut down again. Probably some kind of safeguard Reza s installed. Examine after safe Reza s Watilla. Her name s Lucia. The shower control panel. Hmm, it s not like Reza to make his own bed... I m not particularly tired. It s a top-of-the-line Swedish power shower, complete with a surround sound system. Maybe I could get the spider in here... Examine spider The music s on. This ought to attract the spider. Examine music Um, no. Reza likes it dark in here. Bathroom door. Oh...my God. She s...cold. Oh no, not again. What the hell is going on? Those are...those are EYE commandos. Downstairs. (Gasps) Aaah! Fried Hey. Hey! What are you doing here? Who are you? Please, no― Don t... What...just happened? Who were they? There must be security cameras in all the rooms. Maybe...maybe I just had to leave. Quickly. Hey, you got yourself a VIP booth? Convenient, cause I brought some friends along, and they d love to say hello. In private. Can you help me get back to my world? No, I cannot. It s too dangerous. But I can point you in the direction of someone who might be able to help you. You will need to enter Oldtown. They call it the magic ghetto these days, after our protectors rebuilt the wall. The entrance to the ghetto is across the square. The gate is usually open, but right now the soldiers are conducting a raid. Where do I go once I m on the inside? Seek out an artisan of the magic craft. Their skills have been mostly outlawed by the Azadi, except inside the ghetto. Hey. Hey! What the hell are you doing? Help! Kano! Kano! Let me out! I― I don t understand. Please...what do you want with me? Find April Ryan! Hurry, Zoë. Hurry! But what do― Two weeks earlier I guess you received the message. Don t worry, Reza s probably okay, but he needs you to do him a favour. Olivia will know how to open it. Success Yes! That was too easy. Not too bad for a first attempt. Finally. I definitely need more practice. He never leaves the apartment unlocked. This is weird. Crap. All right, it s not like I expected to get it in one try. Failure This isn t easy. I ll have to try again. This is really hard. Maybe I should call Olivia and ask her to help me? Tainted ―static s getting worse by the hour. Parts of the Wire are down. Can you hear me? Nice. Chilly, but nice. What s going on? In the meantime, you ll need to find a way inside the corporate campus. Okay, that s good. I should get going. Oh, and Olivia? Don t be silly― The connection s deteriorating, sweetie. I ll get back to work and ring you up as soon as I have something. Bye! If he s not on the Wire, he must be at work. Either that or the Static s messing things up. We ll have to bet on the former, since I m already heading into the lion s den. Where exactly does he work? Don t know. I could dig into the WATI databank, but it might trigger some alarms. And we don t want to trigger any alarms, sweetie. I do know that Rio Kuroki worked as a systems analyst in biotech, and that Cavanaugh s in software. Okay. I will find him. I have to find him. I ll keep digging, and I ll send you a message if I find any more info on the guy. We should stick to just messages from now on. Good luck, sweetie. And be caref― Shit, agents have locked on! Gotta run― My name s Zoë. What s yours? Uh? Oh! I m Riko, miss Zoë-san. Nice to meet you, Riko. That doesn t sound very nice of Ren. But then Ren met this girl, and he left me here by myself. Now Obaasan and Hiro are at the museum, and I don t have a ticket! He likes girls. More than he likes me, anyway. Well, honey, that s men for you. Can t you just call your grandma? I tried, but I can t get through, and since the machine is broken, I can t buy a ticket. So now I have to wait here until they come back. Do you know how to get to the museum? Maybe she knows how I can get to the museum? Sad She looks so sad Hmm? Oh! Yes, you have to ride the cable car. But you need a ticket to do that. The ticket office is closed on Sundays, and the machine is broken, so you can t. Where can I buy a ticket? When s your grandma coming back? I don t know. Obaasan really wanted to go to the museum, and she s very slow sometimes...so maybe at closing time? I have to go now, Riko. I need to get going Oh! Thank you for chatting with me, miss Zoë-san. Maybe I ll see you later? Bye, Riko. Oh! Bye! I managed to get hold of an extra ticket for you. That s not for several hours. You ll catch a cold. Oh! Really? Thank you so much, miss Zoë-san! Now I can go to the museum to find Obaasan and Hiro! Thank you so much! Thank you! And in just a few months, WATI will unveil a revolution in home entertainment with the most exciting new product in our two hundred year history This is a great time to be part of our ever-expanding happy family! The future of entertainment is WATI bright! ―should be here by now... I see. Uh, so what happened? Cable car. Right there. The museum s on the other side of the canyon. Museum He probably knows how to get to the museum Who did you think I was? Someone He thought I was someone else? She s late. She s not usually... Ah, who am I kidding. She s not coming. We were supposed to go to the museum today, Yuriko and I. She s my fiancé. I can t wait for her anymore. I have to go. Tell her what s going on at work, ask for her advice. If you include her, it ll bring the two of you closer together. Didn t I see that same cat yesterday? What a pathetic performance! You boys might make warriors some day! Bad Good Garmon has been my mentor and guide for as long as I can recall. He saw potential in me when I was just a motherless boy. For that, I will always be grateful to him. Examine first Meeting So there it is, my story. It sounds pretty unbelievable, I know. Parts of it still feel like a dream to me. But it did happen, all of it. I helped send Faith on her way, the Static is gone, things are back to normal - all should be well with the world. She s dead, Chawan. Dead! Mmm, one moment. Mhm. Pardon me. The dust here isn t any good for my lungs. I represent the tower. I am told you have a prisoner. Tut-tut! We don t use that word here. They are our guests, until your people come to pick them up. I wish to speak with this prisoner. Mmm. So I see. Am I to understand that you have all the paperwork in order? The Emissary insists that I should speak with your prisoner. Now. Mmm. I will never understand this blatant disregard of a proper bureaucratic process. But as you wish. Guard? If you please? There she is, all ready to be, mmm, interviewed. I shall be alone with her. I beg your pardon? No, no, that s not how things are done here. Local laws apply, and they are abundantly clear. "During interrogations, an independent body must be present to ensure the legality of said process." And I am that independent body. I am here to― Mmm. Please. A moment. The tower shall hear of this. I m sure it will. Carry on. I take it she will be loaded onto the next airship bound for Sadir, yes? I don t think she is a spy. Or a witch. Does your opinion make a difference? Guilty or not, they all go across the sea to be, mmm, tried. Do they not? I think she should be released. No-no-no, that is quite, quite impossible. She has been left in my care, and in my care she shall remain...until she s sent off to Sadir. Those are the laws. And so you shall. Good day, then. My best to the tower and your, mmm, mistress. Good day to you. Good day Yes? May I help you? (Clears his throat) The Tower. The supreme authority of the Azadi Empire in the Northlands. I am Apostle Alvane, personal envoy of the Six. I don t know what any of that is. I don t know anything. I haven t done anything. She keeps saying that. She s a bit whiny, this one. The warden butts in Do not interrupt. Please. By the Mo-Jaal s―! You stand accused of being a spy. You will be transported to Sadir, our capital, at our earliest convenience, where you will be tried as a spy. Mmm. I m not a spy! Then what are you? A witch? You were spotted practising magic. Very close. Go to other side of Crossroads, find Via Milano. Go through tunnel to Florence Square, and there you are. Other side of Crossroads. You follow? Today it s green. I m most grateful, petal. Ye ve earned yourself a silver star in Blind Bob s book. That s a, wossname, old chestnut round these parts. Still as true as the sky is green. Potions! Herbs! Curiously shaped cookies! Everything a wizard, witch, or warlock may require! At your service, m lady. What may I do for― Wait. I know you. Where do I know you...from... April! April Ryan! Uh, well― How lovely to see you! Say what? It s been too long, my dear. Too long! Uh, yeah. I guess it s been...long. What have you been up to? This and...that. How lovely. Me, I m rehabilitated. Rehabilitated? How so? Rehabilitated? How can an evil wizard be rehabilitated? That s nice, but I don t have time to chat. Don t care I couldn t care less about how or why he was rehabilitated Why, of course. You re a busy woman! Off to save the world again, hmm? Not so much, no. Being soundly walloped by you was the best thing that s ever happened to me! Really. Oh yes. It gave me perspective. Time to think. When I finally escaped that confounding device, I joined WWWA. Uh... Wicked Witches Warlocks Anonymous. It s a marvellous support group for wizarding professionals. It helped tremendously to find others who shared my...affliction. Affliction? A desire for evil deeds and world domination. Your basic EDWD syndrome. I see. And now...? Cured! I m free of my desire to conquer and control, and I m happy to be a simple merchant. And published author. I guess that s a...a good thing. Still, if there s anything I can do to help? Anything at all? Just say the word. I actually do need some help. I hate to say it, but I do need his assistance It is. It is indeed! So, April Ryan, is there anything I can do to help repay what you did for me? Using only the finest organic ingredients! Elgwan bladders! Rat tails! Dung! Hold on. Benrime needs the spices right now. You can just give them to me, and I ll deliver them for you. Why, yes. Yes! I could give the spices to you. What a wonderful idea! There are dozens of them! Aah! Uhh! I m hit! By the Six, they re everywhere! Goddess help me... Rebel scum! Hah! Everything else is secondary. And we do not engage the enemy within scouting distance of the city. Marcuria. When things returned to normal, we were too busy putting our own lives back together, and by the time we started looking for her again― April was gone. Vanished. If it hadn t been for the things she d told us, I would have simply believed that she was another victim of the Collapse. Maybe Reza s tried to contact me. I m going to try his mobile again, and check in with my friend Olivia back in Casablanca, in case she s heard from him. How did you get into town? Conversation We took the jet. I just don t trust the trax these days. Tell me about it. This Static thing is getting out of control. Why doesn t the Syndicate do something? I ve heard it s solar storms... That s bullshit. I m telling you, it s a global conspiracy. Digital terrorism, electronic warfare, that sort of thing. Solar storms? No fucking way. Really? So who s behind it? Who knows? That s why it s called a conspiracy. It s like the dark days of the Collapse all over again. Jesus, don t remind me. My stocks hit rock bottom back then. Took years to rebuild business. So are you staying over tonight? I know what you mean. Lost my first billion during the Collapse. Let s pray that never happens again. Screw praying. I m not Manichaean. Let s drink to it instead! I hope not. I m looking to hook up. Shouldn t be too hard. Got your eyes on anyone? Not yet. There s nothing here. The tasty ones don t show up until after two. I guess we re in for a long night. Okay with me. I m buzzing. The synth will keep me going until midday tomorrow. I m having coffee with Reza at Moca Loco today. Liv wants to see me in her shop. I wonder what she wants... I should get this package to Reza ASAP. He said he ll be in his apartment. He s got a LOT of explaining to do, that s for sure! I can t believe what he s gotten me involved in. Venice, Newport The dog seems used to the train. It didn t even bat an eyelid, despite the racket. That is Charlie. And those two girls...? Maybe this used to be Charlie s room. But why did the little girl point to his closet? What s his connection to all of this? Winter I...don t... Where am I? What is this place? 何が…何だか…。私はどこにいるんです？ ここはどこですか？ How did you get here? Go back the way you came! Quickly! You cannot stay! どうやってここに来た？ 引き返せ！ 早く！ ここにはおれんぞ！ I don t...know how to go― 私には…その方法が― It is here. (Beat) What have you done? What have you done? ここにある。(Beat) おまえは何をした？ 何をしたんだ？ What do you mean? What― どういう意味です？ いったい― Benrime? Visitor. What are you on about, Brynn? She s standing right next to you. Hello, dear. Thank you. Again. You watch yourself out there. Don t get in the way of the Azadi soldiers. If they knew whence you came... I ll be careful. Bye. You be careful, dear. Very well, dear. I do believe that you are as lost as you seem to be. But I was told that you...that Minstrum― Like I said, there are none left. I didn t know that. I don t know anything. I was just told that...that Magda could help me. And who, pray tell, told you that? But be discreet. Like I said, there are ears. Everywhere. I will. Thank you. So in order to get home, I need to go to the magic ghetto? You will have to wait until they open the gates again. Into Oldtown, yes. But you will need to wait until the raid is over. Very well, dear. Come back if you change your mind. Very well, dear. Freedom! Hah! Freedom for who? From what? It s not like the Azadi are keeping us imprisoned. I― But, I― Not a day goes by without them troublemakers making...trouble for the rest of us. Uh, I mean the Six. I don t worship no Mo-Jaal. Never heard of the bugger. Ahem. Ye gods― I mean, goddess . There s only one, blessed be her name, etcetera. You are so annoying. Listen to me! I just spoke with the spice merchant at the South Gate market. Well, he sent me to pick up a delivery of, um, Mrs Mulllins Mixed Spices . He ll have to wait until they reopen the ghetto, just like everyone else. You can ignore me all you want, but I m not leaving. If you think you re having a bad day, you should try mine on for size. I mean, by the grace of the Six - blessed be their names - if you ll leave me be, I ll give you the bloody spices! And now, for the love of the goddess, and for the sake of my sanity, let me be miserable in peace! Absolutely. Won t bother you again. Thank you. You see, the thing is...I don t actually have any spices at all this morning. They close the ghetto down, search the buildings for criminals and contraband...a sort of spring cleaning, if you will. Last thing I remember, I was at The Fringe. I was going upstairs to make a call, and then... Black. When I first came here, I refused to believe what my eyes and ears were telling me. You re in Arcadia. Look, Zoë, I d let you go, but I don t want you walking around out there asking questions, drawing attention to yourself. You got problems, you figure them out. That s what I had to do. What if something big is going down, and― May the stars guide you and light your way, April-an. They claim to shun magic, even though this technology of theirs relies on it. Maybe the tower is such a device, a magical machine. Um, to pick up the spices? Ah, yes! Wonderful! Fantastic. Your assistance is much appreciated, young lady. I ll have them sent right up. Fantastic. Next! Saves me from having to deliver them, doesn t it? Fantastic! No problem, none at all. Except... In fact, I m the exclusive distributor of Mrs Mullins in Marcuria! Best spice mixes in the Northlands! Or any lands! This is the only store that carries Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices in Marcuria, I m afraid. Right! Well, the Azadi have set aside a section of Oldtown for the magicals. So what about the ghetto? He ll be up Burrow Crook, right below the Journeyman Inn. You can t miss him. Ask him for Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices . He ll try and get some money from you, but the order s been paid for already. Come right back here with the spices, and I ll give you Benrime s order. Wonderful! Fantastic! Hmm? Who? Benrime? Oh, yes! One pouch of Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices for the best mulled wine in Marcuria! You re welcome. Now, about Benrime s order...? Did you find my man? And the spices? Did you get the spices? Hmm? Don t you worry, I ll figure something out. I m...I m sure of it. Wonderful. Fantastic. (Sighs) I am a very, very bad person. The Azadi are probably quite reasonable, I would think. Quite, quite reasonable. Yes. Mmm. Wonderful. We can work around this, I m sure. What s next for WATI s favourite toybot? We aren t telling, but the future sure looks WATIrrific! With its complex emotional response system and friendly demeanor, the Watilla is a beloved friend and companion for billions of children and adults. Crazy as a turnip, Clara is. But she s also got a scoutwing s eyes. She knows more than she lets on. Oh, thanks, petal. You ve made a theoretically blind man happy. Don t you mean commodity ? No. Commode. Information s where I keep my valuables, see? For starters, you seem to be chummy with Benrime, the innkeeper. Mind it s made with Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices . Anything else is a waste of hot wine. Alms! Alms for a poor old blind bastard! Beggaring So cold, so hungry, so blind. Alms! Don t mind me, good sir or madam! I m just a poor old blind bastard with nowhere to go and nothing to eat. Make a donation to the welfare of old Blind Bob, and ye ll receive yer award in the afterlife of your choice! Excuse me, what s through this gate? I haven t stepped forward. You re in violation of Azadi martial law regarding loitering. Move along. Okay. Fine. I won t loiter. Blessed be the Goddess, blessed be the Path, blessed be the Word, blessed be the Mission. My baby, my baby, gone, gone, gone. And then you turn into a spook. "Clara has been bad, she must be punished!" No more. Please, no more... "Sleep now, beautiful. Everything will be better in the morning. I m sorry, flower. I m sorry." "You ll never have friends, you ve been bad!" Mmm. Saltnut soup. Our favourite. You ask her nicely, I m sure she ll give you a cup, too. Take good care of your baby, okay? He s a beautiful pet. I m almost starting to think that those stories Charlie told me about April Ryan are true. If you ever need anything, come see me. I ll help you the best I can. Where did you say I could find Blind Bob again? Yes, child? Mulled wine. He wants mulled wine, made with, uh, Mrs-something-or-other spice mix. Mrs Mullins Mixed Spices . For a beggar, Blind Bob is quite particular. And be sure to mention that I m not happy he did not make his delivery as scheduled. Wait, how do I get to the market? The quickest way would be through Oldtown, but they have closed it off this morning. You will have to go the long way around. Walk east, towards the tower. When you get to the tower square go south. That will take you onto Ayrede Avenue, which leads all the way down to the South Gate. East, then south. Okay. Thank you. How come everyone speaks English here? English If this is a different world, why does everyone speak English? Eng...lish? No, child, we speak Alltongue. As do you. All-what? Alltongue. Na ven. It is the common tongue of our world. But we re speaking English now...right? No. Na ven is a magical tongue. It is learned quickly by those who know how to listen. Really? So...what, I can speak a magical language? That s incredible. Incredible? No, it is quite ordinary, child. I have so many questions about this place, I don t even know where to start. Questions I have a million questions about this place You should start with Minstrum Magda, like I told you, child. Okay. I will. Kill them! These are not men, they are Daemons! Goddess take my soul... The Six have called, boy! You must answer. Kian must go Do not linger here while the Six are waiting! Do you want to lose your head, boy? What are you still doing here, you brainless fool? Heed the call of your Empresses! What is this place? Who are you? State your name and CID number for the record. Look, I don t― The datacube was inside a package. I wasn t supposed to open it, but I did. Opened package Didn t open package I didn t want to be carrying something illegal, so I looked inside. It was just a datacube. That datacube contains highly sensitive information. I didn t know. I was just delivering a package. I ll take her to that Indian― Thank you so much for your help. You saved our relationship. Thank you. Hi, Charlie. It s Zoë. You must hurry! Go! Now! Evil! No, no, I can t. Me? I can t even find a good date for myself. We ll just have to make it a girl s night in, then. Later! Open this door right now! What are you doing? Kano! Kano! Gone, gone, gone... "Never fraternise with spooks, Clara. They can eat your soul." My baby is gone, gone, gone. All gone, all gone. "No, please no! It burns!" "Pretty thing, pretty thing." No. Please, no. My friend. Be advised, Temiz is now our prime target. He may be considered armed and dangerous. I found your lighter. And there was...blood. Everywhere. I m not about to give up on you, but I need to know that you re not... I need to know that you re okay. Talk to you soon. Bye. What s inside? That s the ghetto. It s not a good place for humans. I d stay away if I were you. Why s it closed? We re cleaning out the trash and confiscating contraband. The magicals don t have any respect for the law. Okay, fine, so I don t have much of a choice. But if you re lying to me...I ll scream. I can scream pretty loud. Raven will be pleased that we bagged us a spy. Careful, Chawan. She s a screamer. Who are you? What do you want? So who gave you the idea to seek out Magda in the first place? All profits go to the refuge. We shelter and feed the homeless and the penniless. Theoretically Blind Bob was the one who led me to Clara. He said she would know where Magda was. See, the innkeeper at the Journeyman, she was the one who told me to talk to Magda. I will try and assist you with any questions that you may have, and maybe even point you in the right direction.

I m a friend of Reza Temiz. If this is Damien, he would know Reza Jericho. I don t work here. I m a friend of Reza Temiz. Jericho. Jesus, how did you―? Wait, let me just― Did Jericho send you? I haven t been able to contact him. What did you just do? I made sure that this remains a private conversation. How did you get in here? This place is a bloody fortress. I m getting good at finding my way into impenetrable fortresses. I m Zoë. Damien Cav― Right, you already know who I am. Which I find sort of disturbing. I told Jericho that he couldn t talk to anyone about this. Jericho s gone. Something s happened to him. But he left me enough info to locate you. He s disappeared? Jesus. That s not good. What about Rio? She went to see Jericho. Five days ago. Is she...are you close? We work together. Why, what s happened? I think she s dead. Are you serious? Jesus. I m in way over my head on this one. I shouldn t have asked her to go. What happened to her? I don t know. I found her in Jericho s apartment. She was hooked up to this white plastic thing, and there were wires going into her head. The Dreamer. That s what it s called. A Dreamer. It s not supposed to kill you. I know. They hooked me up to one. Who hooked you up to a Dreamer? Two girls. Twins. I don t know who they work for, but I m guessing they re connected to your company. I ve seen them around. They work for Ms Gilmore, the president. I think maybe they got to Rio as well. And they re after Jericho...after Reza. I was hoping he d made it here. I haven t heard from him since Thursday. Sorry. Rio rang me when she got into Casablanca and told me she d met with Jericho. That must have been right before... I found her in Jericho s apartment, and minutes later the EYE raided the place. I was arrested, but they let me go the next morning. Is there anyone who isn t involved in this? This what? I decided to track Reza down in order to help him. He s my best friend. But I don t know what this is, or what I ve gotten myself involved in. Now Reza s vanished, and you re the only lead I have left. Can you please just tell me what this is? You don t know anything? Only what I ve picked up on the way here. Reza never shares his stories with me. I know that WATIcorp is working on something, and that they ve been testing it out on people in Newport. You called it the Dreamer . I know that the Dreamer is probably connected to the Static somehow, and that s most likely what Reza was investigating in the first place. And I also know that WATIcorp is keen to keep all of this under wraps. Keen enough to kill people. Apart from that... I have no idea who you are, what you ve told Reza, what Rio was doing in his apartment, and what this Dreamer thing is all about. So you re going to have to fill me in, and I m not leaving here until you do. I ve come too far to go back now. If I can t help Reza, at least I want to know why. I want the truth. Right. Wow. Okay. I understand you want the truth. I wish I could tell you... I m putting myself at great risk here, Zoë. I don t know who you are. For all I know, you could be working for the corporation. Then again, if you do, I m already done for anyway, so... You re right about all of it. We...WATIcorp s working on something big. The Dreamer. It s a device that ll let you dream anything you ve got a mind to dream. Lucid dreams. You re awake and in control. Can you just imagine the possibilities? Every other entertainment medium would simply disappear overnight. Why watch a movie when you can dream it? However... About three months ago, something happened. There was a...contamination in the network that connects each Dreamer console with the central processor, Dreamcore. I used to work on the network code, the parts that link the Dreamers with DreamNet. When the problem appeared, my bosses asked me to head up the group charged with identifying the problem on this end, to weed out the bugs. What we discovered was that DreamNet was beginning to slip out of our control. There was a contamination, but it wasn t a bug. It wasn t internal. We figured someone had hacked into the network, and introduced a virus or worm. Something sneaky and adaptable. It didn t take me long to realise there was a link between the Static and our problems. The Static wasn t the cause...it was the effect. Whatever had infiltrated DreamNet was, for lack of a better word, leaking out onto the Wire, causing glitches and system crashes. When I told my supervisors, I was instructed to not ask any questions, and to just keep working on the problem. So I did what they told me. But at the same time I started digging deeper on my own. And that s when I met Rio. She was working with the biological systems that run our code and operates DreamNet - the central processor known as Dreamcore. She d been digging, too, and, like me, she d reached an impasse. So we started working together to identify and nail down the contamination. So we kept digging, and then one day, about a week ago, we discovered something that changed everything... WATI isn t making these things to entertain people. They re making them to spy on and to control people. DreamNet was designed to record people s dreams. And Dreamcore was designed to analyse them. And that s just the beginning. By feeding data back through the Dreamer, they can plant thoughts, instructions...even hypnotic suggestions in people s heads. DreamNet is the biggest brainwashing experiment of all time, disguised as mindless entertainment. What? Oh. Right. Exactly. Someone s trying to take control of the network. The most dangerous weapon of all time... Rio and I, we realised we had to tell someone, but we also knew that the corporation would do anything to protect their secret. If we went to the media, we d be dead. We had to find someone with the guts to expose WATI, while protecting our identities. The Hand That Bites. Who better to expose this conspiracy than Jericho and his notorious feed? We knew he wouldn t be afraid to go up against WATIcorp. This is... And you re sure about this, Damien? It sounds like, like science-fiction. The people behind it seem to believe that it s possible, and the Dreamer works. I ve tried it many times. It s incredible, like nothing you ve ever experienced. But to know they have free access to your innermost thoughts... I won t use it again, that s for sure. Not with everything I know now. I go down to sub-level fifty-eight. In exactly half an hour from now, you ll disengage the alarm, and I ll open the door. Remember that once you re through, the door will be tagged for maintenance by the security systems. I got that. And the rest of it? Thanks, Damien. You too. Good. Keep in mind that I can t call you while we re inside the building, so we won t be in touch until this is over. Best of luck, Zoë. I got it. All of it. I m not sure that s the right word, but I don t know how else to describe it. I could hear the voices of thousands of people around me. It does sound as though the Azadi have plans with this tower, April-an. But I cannot see what that would be. As for this place you discovered deep below us, this...chamber of dreams? This worries me, April-an. Dreams are powerful things. Combined with this Azadi machine, if that is what it is, it could have serious consequences. I tried going back through, but the rock s solid. There s a half mile of mountain between us and the caves. Without the portal, there s no way down there. I will look at the wall in the cellar where you said the portal opened up. Perhaps I can learn how this musical magic works. I must say that I am intrigued. Keep this under wraps, Na ane. Don t let anyone get wind of what you re doing. Not even Benrime. We don t know what we re dealing with yet. Of course. I shall be cautious. Perhaps this is the opportunity we have been praying for. If we do not soon find a weakness in the Azadi front... Then we keep fighting them with the weapons we already have. What else can we do? I am not suggesting we lay down our arms, April-an. But we are fast dwindling in numbers. We re not dead yet, Na ane. And it might be that this new information will help us. Not a day goes by when someone is not killed, captured and sent west to an unknown fate, or abandons the cause. We may soon need an alternative to force. They are many, we are few, and the Azadi support amongst the common people grows daily. If that tower is as important as I suspect it is, we have a new target. I ll talk to some contacts, see what they know, and what they ve heard. Tell Brynn and Chawan to get the remaining supplies on their own. They ll need to leave tomorrow evening as planned. We can t afford any delays. Will you not go with them? I haven t decided yet. It depends on what information I manage to dig up. If I get a lead, I ll have to follow it. So be it. I may wait for you, but I will leave a message with Benrime if I, too, set course for home. He is eager. He is open. He is perfect. 彼は熱心です。率直です。彼なら大丈夫です。 I hope you are right. He is our last hope... そうだと良いのだが。彼は我々の最後の望みだ…。 Have faith. The undreaming will be unleashed, and it will― 信じてください。アンドリーミングは解き放たれるでしょう、そして― Quiet, brother. The walls have ears. 静かに。壁に耳ありだ。 Oops. Sorry! Did you want something? No, it s nothing! Sorry! You all right, girl? Where...where am I? You re still at The Fringe. You don t remember? I don t know. I... How did I get back here? Back? You haven t moved all night. Couple of guests found you passed out. You were drugged. That s what it looks like. I checked the cameras, but there was nothing on them. The crystals were wiped. When we found you last night, I called a friend of mine. A doctor. She came by and checked you out. She said you were on some kind of synth, but that you d sleep it off. So I closed the room and kept an eye on you all night. That s not possible. I was...somewhere else. April, she― I met April. April Ryan! I was in Arcadia, the place she spoke about. I was there! So...so I couldn t possibly have been here. Zoë... Look, I ve been checking in on you every fifteen minutes all night long. You couldn t have gone anywhere without me noticing. You were fed some kind of hallucinogenic. You ve probably been having very vivid dreams. Maybe you re right. But it felt real enough. Dreams Was it all just a dream? That s impossible! I was there! I spoke with April. She was...she wasn t very cooperative. But I did speak with her. Real There s no way it was just a dream! All I know is that you ve been sleeping right here since we found you. Sorry about that. It was a potent drug. My friend couldn t identify it - like I said, some kind of synth - but she said the readings were off the chart. Your mind was on fire. She also said you d be fine, once the drugs had worn off. I would ve called a hospital, but I figured we d both be happier without corporates sniffing around. My clientele is a bit...sensitive about their privacy. And I figured you d feel the same way. I m glad you didn t call anyone. As far as the EYE s concerned, I m still in Casablanca. You left Emma and me at the table to make a call. Twenty minutes later some guests found you passed out in the booth. They gave up their reservation quite willingly. They didn t want to get involved. Sorry? Girl, it s not your fault that someone drugged you. But you might want to consider getting out of this before you get hurt. You don t remember anything? I can t just abandon Reza. No. Last night s a blur. The first thing I remember is waking up in... No, I don t remember anything from The Fringe. Huh. Actually, I m not receiving any signal here. You re, uh, a ghost. Thanks. That sounds perfect. I could definitely use a shower and a change of clothes. I didn t see anyone. But apparently our friend Marcus Crozier checked in just before the incident. Did you see whoever did this to me? And he brought two guests. Wait, I remember...part of it. Marcus, the twins... Hi, this is Reza. I m either busy or I m sleeping. Either way, let me know what s up, and I ll call you right back. Thanks. Come on. Let s move out. Your journey is about to begin. Follow me. あなたの旅は始まろうとしています。こちらへ。 April. I m pleased to see you. Pleased...and surprised. I m just as surprised as you are, Gordon. How, uh, how have you been? I...don t know. This place... I m both a part of it and apart from it. I m no longer who I once was, though I remain who I once was. There is natural dichotomy to the Balance. Positive and negative, reality and dream...being and unbeing. Sounds confusing. I don t envy your role. You re standing in the middle of a very busy intersection. I don t know any other way to be anymore. I...remember. But my memories feel like they belong to someone else. So, April... You have come to me with questions? I didn t know where else to turn. Something s going on with the twin worlds, and I need to know what you know. You re right. Something touches the Balance between the twin worlds. Dreams. Threads that weave through the Divide. But the Balance remains undisturbed. Dreams have always passed between the world of Stark and the world of Arcadia. That is how the worlds stay connected, how magic and science remain inextricably tied to each other. The laws of nature, of the universe, are stronger than the artifice of the Divide. So it s not something dangerous? Not you I don t know, April. There are forces far stronger than the Balance at play here. Dreams make up the fabric of cosmos. Yet my responsibility lies solely with the channeling of energies between Stark and Arcadia, between science and magic. And you don t know anything about these dreams? I know this. Your role in these events has come to an end. You are not the one who will set things right this time. I m...not. Who will? That s not for me to see. Your fate has always been tied to the Balance, April. I see where our paths intersect. I can t see into the Dreaming. The Dreaming? What s that? The Dreaming? The place where everything begins. You, me, this realm, the twin worlds...time, matter, cosmos. Everything. It all begins in the Dreaming. You re being obtuse. You know I hate it when people are being obtuse. I m sorry. I don t know any more than that. But you don t have to carry the burden on your shoulders this time around, April. You re free. Go live your life. Let the past go. That s easy for you to say. There s meaning to your existence. Me? I wasn t who I thought I was. I honestly have no idea who I am anymore. Everyone kept telling me I was important, that I was needed. Then one day, I...wasn t. I was just lost. So don t tell me I m free. Don t tell me to go live my life. You don t know. You have a purpose. We all do, April. You just haven t found yours yet. But this isn t it. Let it go. Okay. Done. I m officially letting this one go. There s nothing more you can tell me? Only what I sense. Dreams are passing from Stark to Arcadia, but not the other way around. A slow trickle that may grow to a torrent. But this does not concern the Balance, and so it does not concern me. I guess that s good news. Thank you. Thank you. Safe journeys, April. I am at the crossroads between waking and dream. 私は夢と現実との岐路に立っている。 One path leads back to the world I left behind. The other path... 一方は私が後にした世界に通じている。もう一方は…。 The other path leads to a place of shadows. もう一方は影の世界へと通じている。 But in truth, it is too late. My choice was made many years ago, when I first embarked on this journey. I cannot turn back. だが、もう遅い。私は何年も前に選択し、そして旅が始まった。後戻りはできない。 I am at a crossroads, but for me there is only one path. 私は岐路にいるが、選択の余地はない。 I leave behind these words in the hope that, someday, they will serve as a map for someone else. いつか、だれかの道しるべとなることを願い、これを書き残す。 To whomever reads this, Godspeed on your journey. If you ever decide to follow in my footsteps, look me up. これを読む者へ、旅の無事を祈る。もし私の足跡をたどるなら、私を訪ねてほしい。 Ex-calling Hi, Reza. Hello. Are you busy? Mmm, not really. Why? I need to talk to you. Can you meet me at Moca Loco? Sure. When? Now? I m already on my way there. All right. I ll see you in a couple of minutes. Great. See you there. One Brian Westhouse. Brian Westhouse。 I don t usually look this pale, but that s what you get for being in a coma. But that would be a lie. The only thing I could have said...is goodbye. It might just be the most important thing ever. I think he ll be very lonely when I m gone. Security spider. I hate spiders. Security spider. Shit. I really hate those things. Spider revealed What was that? Must be some kind of viral ad... Wonkers, I don t have time to― ―but remember the time we hopped the Vactrax to Europolis without telling anyone, and you got completely shitfaced? Wh-what? I had to carry you to that sleazy hotel down on Jarl Street, and you spent half the night throwing up. Zoë, this is Reza. I, uh, modified Wonkers a bit to make him play a pre-recorded message in case something happened to me. I don t want you to worry. All this means is that I haven t checked in with him for twenty-four hours. I m probably okay. However, in case something s happened, I need you to do me a favour. I keep an updated copy of my notebook in my apartment at all times. It contains everything about the story I m currently working on. I wire over my notes and research twice a day. I need you to get that notebook now, and take it somewhere safe. If I m... If I m in trouble, get the information inside to my editor. You ll need to decrypt it first, so talk to you-know-who. She can take care of that, I m sure. To find the notebook - I keep it somewhere safe - go to my apartment and tell Lucia what I told you the day you left for Cape Town. She will find the notebook for you. Like I said earlier, I m probably okay. Maybe I just forgot to check in. Maybe Wonkers has malfunctioned. But get the notebook, just in case. You re the only person I can trust with this, Zoë. Keep it safe, and I ll see you soon, okay? ―which is why men wear cups. Diane? Well, that s a kick in the groin, Ryan. Thanks! Now, who are you, and what were you doing in my laboratory? The next morning you bought me that antique lighter. Remember? Wonkers, my best mechanical friend. He s a genuine Watilla, but he s a bit...outdated by now. Second examine Poor old Wonker is brainless. Literally. Examine brainless Pick up Reza doesn t have a cat... And why is the door to his apartment open? Oh, my God...the building s being raided! Commandos On your knees! Hands behind your head! Listen, I― I warned you! Please deliver it to Jericho as soon as possible. My mobile s beeping! Beeping I spoke with Jericho a couple of days ago. He called me, asked me some questions, I answered them. That s all. Okay, well, I guess that s a start. Victory Hotel. Return encounter Oh, hello dear. I see. So Benrime sent you to find Magda. Now why would she do a thing like that? And why would she say something like that? Because I m...I m, um, not from around here. That much is quite obvious. Because... Probably because I m not from around here, and I need help. Anyone can see that. You stick out like a black beetle in a flour sack. And that is a very dangerous thing to do. Very well, I will do what I can to assist you. You will certainly need it. I just want to go home again April... I may have heard that name before. What would you with her? I don t know. I need to find her. We have something in common, and I think...I think she s in trouble. And you intend to save her? How do you propose to do that? I don t know that either. I just need to find her. Hmm. Well, I apologise, but I cannot help you there. 201 Twins? They re working together. They were in Reza s apartment back in Casablanca. And they were here last night. So they must ve been the ones who drugged you. Maybe. But I don t understand why they didn t just...kill me. I mean, that s the second time they ve attacked me, and I m still walking. If there s one thing I ve learned it s to not look a gift horse in the mouth. You re alive. Don t ask too many questions. Ow. Maybe you re right. Maybe I should just go home while I m still... You okay, Zoë? Just my head. Yeah, I m okay. You can stay here as long as you need to. And I can call my doctor friend again. No need to go to a hospital. No, I should go home. Thanks, Charlie. I really appreciate it. No problem, girl. Drop by if you re ever in town again. And keep me updated. If you find your friend, or if you...if you hear from April. I will, Charlie. Thanks for everything. Hi, it s me again. I m in― I met Charlie, and I followed your tracks to the hotel. It s too noisy here. I should use one of the VIP rooms upstairs like Charlie suggested. Can t use I hope everything s okay, Reza. Please call me if you― when you get this message. That must be Charlie. Examine, haven t met Charlie seems like a really nice guy. Examine, have met Emma. Her full name is Emma de Vrijer. I read an article about her a while back. She s a performance sculptor. Emma s really down-to-earth. Marcus! I was just about to― Reaction That guy should be selling cars, not junk. Examine far met He looks like he could sell pretty much anything. And, okay, he does. He s a friendly guy. Examine near met He s selling something. Well-stocked store...or garbage dump? There s a door up there. A...mysterious door. There s a neon sign on that wall. The Fringe . Liv s been my best friend through thick and thin. She s awesome. Examine Olivia If Liv doesn t have it in stock, she can get it for you in twenty-four hours - whatever it is. There s so much crap in here, it s a miracle Liv keeps track of it all. Jama Mbaye, my martial arts teacher. Information. He ll know what to do with it. Yes. Yes, I m Helena Chang. How do you know my name? Why did you react to my name earlier? Do you know my father, Gabriel? Castillo She acted a bit strange when I told her my name Your father? No. No, I...I knew a Castillo once. A long time ago. I m sorry, but I don t have time for chit chat. I have to leave. Wait, I need to ask you― What kind of information? Information What s in that package? I m sorry, but that s really none of your business. The package is for Jericho s eyes only. I have to leave. Please deliver the package to Jericho right away. And thanks again for your help. I shall not forget it, Zoë Castillo. Hey. Hey, wait! Dammit. Reza has some serious explaining to do. Between the familiar and the unknown, between certainty and doubt, my choice would seem obvious. 既知と未知、確信と疑念とに関わらず、私の選択は明白だった。 Any sane man would turn around, return to the world he knows, forget what he has learned, and live his life in blissful ignorance. まともな者なら、自分の世界に戻り、すべてを忘れ、屈託のない幸福な人生を送っただろう。 Hiya, Wonkers. Wonkers? Don t you get bored, just sitting here in my room? I know I do. Bored Doesn t Wonkers ever get bored? Zoë! Do you want to play a game? Not today. I m just not in the mood. Oh. Okay, then. Yes, Zoë? Remind me what s on my schedule today, Wonkers. Wonkers can interface with our home server and remind me about appointments I don t get bored. I think a lot. You do? About what? About the fun times we ve had together, Zoë. The memories make me happy. Wonkers, that s...sad. Why? I m not programmed to feel sad, Zoë. I m programmed to feel happy, always. Lucky you. I wish I knew what that was like... Well, there s the gym at eleven thirty. Right. And after that? No, Zoë. That s all. I really need a job... What s on my schedule again? Just the gym, Zoë. You don t have anything else on your schedule. Right. I m absolutely pathetic. So what are the headlines today? He keeps track of all the headlines that might interest me Gagan Garlanka was spotted with Chinese model Vivian Zhu last evening at the swanky Europolis nightclub Bitte . Witnesses told― Mmm, no. Next story, please. Casawi playboy Baptiste Messod shocked audiences at― Skip the entertainment news. Is there anything else? It turns out that Bingo! branded diet wine has more calories than― Do you have any real news? You ve programmed me to track entertainment news and diet related headlines, Zoë. If you want to reprogram my newsfilter, that s easy. Oh. No, I guess I ll...access a newsfeed. I need to get going. Exit Are you sure you don t want to play a game? We haven t played a game in so long. I m sorry, Wonkers. I just...haven t felt much like playing lately. Okay, then. Thanks, Wonkers. Talk to Wonkers Yes? Can I help you? After meeting Charlie What were they talking about? 何のことを話していたのだろう？ Whispering monks comment 囁いていた僧侶のコメント He s meditating. I shouldn t disturb him. During ritual He s waiting for me to step into the circle. After ritual Please, traveller. Step onto the dais. どうぞ、旅の方。台座に上がってください。 Step up again Hey, Zoë. Are we still on for tonight? Definitely. We have the house to ourselves. Just bring a bottle of wine and a date. Wine, I can do - but a date? You ll just have to invite some more guys over. See you tonight, Zoë! I m looking for Charlie. Charlie I can t find Charlie Charlie s right over there. Has talked to Charlie After meeting Emma He s down there, past the bar. Time to move on Whatever. Uh-huh. The place is kinda quiet, isn t it? Quiet This place looks completely dead Look, it s a cocktail lounge, not a café. Right now, it s the middle of the afternoon. Things heat up around midnight, and everyone stays until sunup. Right. That makes sense. Where s Charlie again? He s right over on the other side of the bar. It s not like he s hard to find or anything. So...have you worked here long? Small talk Make with the small talk Why are you asking me questions? Uh...no reason. Okay, so stop. It s annoying. Charlie said I could use one of the VIP rooms to make a call. Private Where s that private room Charlie spoke about? Upstairs. There s an empty one all the way down on your left. Don t stay long. It s been reserved. And don t talk to the VIPs. Because you re...not. Where s the VIP room you said I could use? Upstairs. All the way down on your left. Does it get any more crowded than this? Lounge There aren t exactly a whole lot of people here This is an exclusive cocktail lounge. People don t come here for the crowds. They come here to chill out. It just seems a little dull, that s all. Look, this is how the rich and famous like to party, okay? If you don t like it, you can go back to...to...wherever. Casablanca. Whatever. I. Don t. Care. Time to run That s the hostess. Carlita s coming over tonight for the, uh, soirée . I don t know Jawhar very well, but I ve met him a few times. He s, uh, nice. I guess. Jawhar...something. I don t know his last name. Hey, how are you? I hear you re having a party tonight. Is that right? No. Well, yes, a few close friends are dropping by. You re, um, welcome to join us. If you want. Sorry. I m going nightcrawling with some buddies from college. We ll be running the gauntlet until Monday. Cool. Sounds fun. Good luck with that. Enjoy your weekend. Olivia s store, Alien the Cat . She does quite well for herself. She s got lots of regular customers. So how about them Casawi Critters, Ryan? Well, Diane, funny you should ask. Cricket s coming home, folks, and the Critters are knocking them down like there s no tomorrow! In the opening innings, the Casawi fast-bowlers came out gunning for glory with the fire-power to back it up. Blessed be the Six, child, you startled me! You speak English! Oh, thank God. Listen, I m not sure what s happ― Speak what? Who are you? Where do you come from? I― I don t know. I think I m...I m dreaming. It s just that, no matter what I do, I can t seem to wake up. Dream? This is no dream, child. Do you need me to pinch your arm? What? No. N-no, that s... I m... The twins, they did something to me, something― How did you get in? We don t open until midday. Open what? The inn, child! What do you think? Are you soft-witted or... By the Balance, you are from...from the other side, aren t you? Gracious me, another Shifter. (Sighs) Why do they always end up here? Another what? You must go see Minstrum Magda immediately. She will explain everything. Minstrum Magda? Leave now, but be cautious, and don t speak a word of this to anyone. They have ears everywhere. L-look, I don t know what s going on, and I don t know what a Shifter is or why I m supposed to see this Magda person, and― I understand that you re frightened, child. You don t understand! I have absolutely no idea what s going on! Did you say April Ryan ? Yeah! Do you know her? No. I don t recognise the name. You need to see Minstrum Magda, child. (Deep breath) I guess I don t have a choice, dream or no dream. Where can I find her? She moves around, but Blind Bob ought to know where she is. He s right outside. You can t miss him. Blind Bob, Minstrum Magda, underground cities and strange monsters... I feel like I m inside some kind of fairytale. All right. I ll go talk to, uh, Blind Bob. Thank you. What s your name? Benrime Salmin, child. I m the innkeeper of the Journeyman Inn. I m Zoë. And thank you. I m sure I will see you again. You re the only person I know in this...this place. Blind Bob Just a quick reminder about how we fight. You have light and heavy attacks. Excellent work, Zoë. Have I taught you nothing, Zoë? You need to focus. Where s your mind at? (Fighting noises) Oof! Aah! Ugh! I know this already. It is worth repeating. Light attacks are fast, but can be blocked. Heavy attacks are slow, but they are also unblockable. If you re quick, however, you can dodge a heavy attack. And that will give you the upper hand, since an opponent needs time to recover. Don t get too cocky now. Remember, keep your guard up, block my punches, and attack only when my defenses are down. Got it? Got it. Let s go. Those are Mani wheels, imprinted with the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum . It s a blessing. Liv s been my best friend for years. Dad. "This is an automatic reminder sent by..." Shit. The gym. I have to hurry. I think Dad misses wearing a lab coat. He usually has to wear a suit these days. My backpack. Nothing much in there. Jardin des Roses. The definition of a godforsaken cul-de-sac. Dad hasn t bought any new furniture since I left for university. Dad s carry-on luggage. I should clean up that mess...at some point. I need some new clothes. I don t have anything to wear. My backpack s in here, somewhere. Backpack My backpack s in here. Backpack again Wonkers. Third examine I ll have to put Wonkers together again after all this is over, or I won t be able to live with myself. Examine brainless again Huh? Those clothes are clean...I think. Dad and I have a great system for keeping the kitchen clean. We don t use it. The kitchen hasn t seen much use lately. I m not cooking anything. Not as long as there s take-away. When was the last time anyone pruned anything back there? We so need a new gardening bot. There s the party tonight. There s nothing before that? Hey, Wonkers, I...need you to switch yourself off for me. Switch off Because... Because I just need you to go to sleep for a bit. All right, Zoë. Promise to wake me up later? Sorry. I ll put you back together once this is all over. I just need to twist the neck like... ...that. Ouch. That s it. The processing crystal. I promise. Nighty-night. Home sweet home. I never thought I d be moving back here. It s a weekday, and no one s working, not even a maintenance bot. What s happened to this city? Liv s having her lunch. It s an ancient postbox. Jardin des Roses. Carlita.

Kamala Harris(Kamala Devi Harris; 20 October 1964) is an American Democratic politician and lawyer, serving as Vice-President of the United States on an interim basis. Her Chinese name is He Jinli. Table of Contents Table of Contents AchievementsRealised the cost of living crisis. Green politics.Petrol prices at all-time highs Major contributor to rising unemployment High unemployment Recession since the global financial crisis Policies to be implemented after the presidential electionLaws that allow biological males to participate in women's sports. Legalisation of the abortion of foetuses shortly before birth. Record remarks Achievements According to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, "The person in charge of Bidenomics in the Biden administration is Kamala Harris.(*1) Realised the cost of living crisis. Helped make Bidenomics work and promoted inflation.Kamala Harris has succeeded in bringing tens of millions of Americans to the brink of economic ruin by keeping inflation going. She has financially bankrupted the middle class and the poor in the USA by continuing out of control spending (green policies) which has resulted in skyrocketing prices (supermarket prices, housing costs, electricity, insurance premiums, petrol prices).(*2) バイデノミクスを機能させる事に貢献し、インフレ(物価高騰)を促進させた。 カマラ・ハリスは、インフレを実現する事で、何千万人ものアメリカ人を、経済的破滅の一歩手前にまで追い込む事に成功した。 彼女は、制御不能な支出(グリーン政策)を継続的に行うことで、(スーパーマーケットの値段、住宅費、電気代、保険料、ガソリン価格)の価格高騰を実現させ、アメリカの中流階級と貧困層を経済的に破綻させた。 Green politics. Petrol prices at all-time highs Kamala Harris managed to "raise the average price of gasoline to $5.816" in 2022; $5.816 is the highest price in US history.19 January 2021, when President Trump left the White House. The average price of petrol at this point was $2.38; the average price of petrol in 2024 is $3.361.(*3) Major contributor to rising unemployment Kamala's energy policy. This policy favours China (+ Russia) and causes enormous damage to the USA. This policy has contributed significantly to the rise in unemployment in the US.Her policy has significantly reduced US oil and gas energy exports. In return, it has significantly increased Russian oil and gas energy exports. In return, it has reduced the global influence of the US-led financial trading system and increased the global influence of the China-Russia-led financial trading system. As a result, the BRICS countries, led by China and Russia, have succeeded in building an economic systemindependent of the US. The risk of US-led norms being ignored by the rest of the world has become enormous.(*4) カマラのエネルギー政策。この政策は、中国（＋ロシア）を有利にし、アメリカに甚大な損害を与える政策である。この政策はアメリカの失業率上昇に大きく貢献した。 彼女の政策によって、アメリカの石油とガスのエネルギー輸出を著しく減少した。これによって、ロシアの石油とガスのエネルギー輸出は著しく増加させた。 これによって、アメリカ主導の金融取引システムの世界的影響力を低下させ、中国・ロシア主導の金融取引システムの世界的影響力を高めた。その結果、中国・ロシアが主導するBRICS 諸国は、アメリカから独立した経済システムを構築する事に成功。アメリカ主導の規範が世界各国から無視されるリスクを巨大化させた。 High unemployment Achieved unemployment rate of 4.3%. This is the highest level ever achieved.(*5) Recession since the global financial crisis It has worsened the economy and caused a significant recession.Kamala Harris, in particular, contributed enormously to the slump in consumption,stagnation since the global financial crisis.(*6) Policies to be implemented after the presidential election Laws that allow biological males to participate in women's sports. Kamala Harris 'plans to pass a law allowing biological males to participate in women's sports'.However, 36% of votersare aware that Harris plans to implement this policy. Furthermore, according to a national poll (July 2024), 'about two-thirds (72 percent) of registered voters believe that biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports'.(*7) カマラ・ハリスは「女子スポーツに生物学的男性の参加を可能にする法律を制定させる予定」である。 しかし、ハリスがこの政策の実現を計画していることを知っている有権者は36％である。 さらに、全米世論調査（2024年7月）によれば、「登録有権者の約3分の2（72％）が、生物学的男性は女子スポーツに参加させるべきではない」と考えている。 Legalisation of the abortion of foetuses shortly before birth. Karama Harris is in favour of legalising late-term abortion (abortion of a foetus after 8-9 months, just before birth).(*8) Record remarks Joe Biden’s legacy of accomplishment over the past three years is unmatched in modern history,” she said. “In one term, he has already surpassed the legacy of most presidents who have served two terms in office. In other words, Kamala Harris claims that 'Joe Biden is more competent than former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton'.

Example 2 USB Telephone (Informative) C.1 Product Description This is a USB Telephone with 16-bit 8KHz input and output. It has a handset and Phone line in and out connectors. Selector Units are used to allow the Host to talk directly to the telephone line or to allow the handset to be used with the Host for an Internet telephone call. This is an analog device. The telephone line and handset signals are analog and all switching is performed in the analog domain. The digital USB audio stream, coming from AudioStreaming interface 1 is converted to the analog domain before entering the audio function through Input Terminal ID3. Likewise, the analog signal coming from Selector Unit ID9 is delivered to Output Terminal ID6 and converted back to the digital domain before it is delivered to AudioStreaming interface 2.

C.2 Descriptor Hierarchy This USB Telephone device includes an AudioControl interface (0) and two AudioStreaming interfaces (1 2). The AudioStreaming interfaces both feature two alternate settings. The first alternate setting (Alternate Setting 0) has zero bandwidth associated with it so that switching to this alternate setting effectively frees all allocated bandwidth on the USB for this device. Zero bandwidth is indicated by the lack of a streaming endpoint. Alternate Setting 1 is the operational part of the interface and it has one isochronous endpoint.

I m Magda. Just Magda, mind, and you would do well to address me as such. Either that, or ma am . No titles, no honorifics. Benrime ought to have made that clear to you. Oh, and one more thing. You would do well to remember the names of those who give you a helping hand in the future. I m Magda. Just Magda, mind you. That, or ma am . No titles, no honorifics. I don t know why Benrime didn t warn you about that. Why can t I call you by your full name? Minstrum Why can t I say her first name? Minstrum is not a name. It s a title I carried before the Azadi banned the Sentinel from the city. Who are the Azadi? I keep hearing about these Azadi They are our protectors and our guests. They helped liberate Marcuria from the Tyren armies ten years ago. And then they decided to...stay. So the city s under occupation? Not at all, and you would do well to not speak ill of the Azadi, lest you fancy seeing the inside of Friar s Keep. They are here to unify and convert the Northlands in the name of their goddess. And they are very...particular about their faith. But that s all I will tell you. I would leave the topic be, if I were you. And it s a position I no longer hold. It belongs to the past, and I don t wish to speak of it here, where the walls have ears. Why did the innkeeper tell me to see you? Benrime said that Magda would be able to help me Most likely because I have assisted...travellers like you before. But the times have changed. Marcuria has become a very dangerous place for people like yourself. For me, too, but I belong here. You do not. You think? I just want to go home. And so you should, with haste. There s no adventure to be had here, not anymore. What s the Magic Ghetto? Ghetto What s this ghetto I keep hearing about? It used to be called Oldtown, the oldest neighbourhood in Marcuria. Now it s a prison in disguise. All magical peoples in Marcuria have been forced behind those walls, to protect them from the humans. At night, the gates are closed. And there are often raids. Homes are turned upside down, good, honest people are arrested and... And what? They are taken away, never to be seen again. The Azadi call them terrorists . But they are shopkeepers, and tailors, and poets. The only terrorists here are... But, no, we do not speak ill of the Azadi. They have done so much for us. So there s nothing you can do for me? Like I said, I will assist you with any questions you may have, and I will point you in the right direction. But that is all I can do. A practitioner of the craft might be able to help you draw on your latent talents to open a...gateway. But be careful. If the Azadi were to learn of your origins and powers, they would show no mercy. You would be sent away to stand trial. They fear magic, these foreigners. They are doing their best to control it and everyone who uses it. And I fear they may be succeeding in their endeavours... Like I said, you would stand a better chance of getting home if you visited Oldtown. It leaves precious little room for other ideas. Zoë, Zoë, Zoë! It s encrypted, but Olivia should be able to decrypt it. Ask her to hold onto it, and don t let it fall into the wrong hands. If something bad has happened to him, the reason why is most likely in that notepad somewhere. Zoë! I had a dream about you! I had many dreams. I dreamed that you took my mind away. You re okay now, Lucia. I am? Oh. That s good. Where s Reza? He ll be back soon, I m sure. Good. I miss Reza. In that case, make sure the truth gets out. Where s Reza? I miss Reza. I m sure he ll be back soon. Good. I ll wait for him, right here. Is Reza back yet? No, not yet. Okay. I ll just wait here until he comes back. Ah! Uh! Aaaah... Nice to meet you, too. I m sure I ll be fine. It s not that cold. ―news about Reza? Not yet, but I just arrived in Wati City. What s it like there? ―Reza s contact at WATIcorp. He protects his sources well. ―friend, too. I d turn the world upside down to find him. I know. Thanks anyway. ―won t take long. The encryption s military grade, but I m almost there. ―the name. Told you I d― ―encryption. So are you inside yet? (Static) Hold on, let me... Of course, the EYE s agent software will also light up like a Christmas tree, so we need to be quick. Are you inside WATIcorp yet? Working on it. Reza was in touch with Cavanaugh through Rio Kuroki, the dead girl in his apartment. Rio and Damien worked together. There. I ve switched us over to a classified EYE channel. That should stabilise things quite a bit. This connection s too risky, and the Static s interfering with everything else. Hola, sweetie! It s me! Where are you? Hi, Liv. I m still in Newport, but I m on my way home. Any news? Yes! You re going to Japan! Japan? I decrypted Reza s notes. Well, most of them. Okay, some of them. I m still working on it. But I found out that he was investigating WATIcorp. WATIcorp? Really? My God, that s...that is pretty huge. What was he investigating? Don t know yet, sweetie. But he was in contact with two people at WATI, one of whom was the dead girl in his apartment. From his notes, my guess is that after leaving Newport he would be heading to Wati City, on the island of Hokkaido in northern Japan. That s where WATIcorp HQ is located. That s also everything I ve got so far, I m afraid. I ll keep working on Reza s notes, and I ll have more info for you when you get there. You mean Japan. You know, I d try and convince you not to go, but you seemed pretty set on tracking Reza down. And all signs point to Japan. (Sighs) I know. I have to keep going. I...I can t give up. Not now, not this time. This is too important. If I quit... Is everything all right, Zoë? Yes and no. I m fine. I m not hurt or anything, but... As long as you re okay, sweetie. Like I said, I ll keep working on the notepad, and I ll call you when you get to Wati City. Safe journey! All right, Liv. Take care. Things have happened. I don t have time to get into it right now, but it ll make a hell of a story some day. Liv? Olivia? I hope she s okay... Look, Charlie, he left me a message with your name in it. It s the only clue I have to go on. Yeah. Sorry, girl. I wish I could help, but...that s everything I know. The Border House. So don t get me wrong, I would love to help you. But like I told your friend, I can t say much more than that. It never did. This neighbourhood, Venice, it was a great place to live. We used to think it was the centre of the world. And it was. For a while. I hung in there for a while, but... Money was tight. I had to drop out and find a job. Giving up on your dreams isn t necessarily such a bad thing. Look, Charlie, I m sorry, but I m desperate. I ve travelled halfway around the world to find my friend, and you re the only lead I ve got. You must really love the guy. Look, this whole mafia thing isn t your style. You re too...clean cut. Never threaten anyone unless you re ready to follow through on the threat. The Wire has ears, he says, and he s not wrong about that. He wanted to ask me about a place I used to live in. The Border House. Okay. This is not real. This can not be real. Alone. I was in your old room at the Victory...in the Border House, in Newport. How are they doing? "Find April Ryan," she says. "Save her." Over and over again. I keep seeing a snowy landscape with a scary black house that looks like a doll s house - and a little girl. (Heavy breathing) (More heavy breathing) Except drugs. Competition too strong. Yes, yes, you. You see anybody else around? Didn t think so, no. Okay, okay, I might have something in stock for you. Where is the Victory Hotel? It s on a street called the Brink. Walk to the other side of the Crossroads, past the Chinaman s store. You ll get to a bridge called the Rialto. Cross the Rialto to get to Marco Polo. Marco Polo will take you to the Brink. Victory Hotel s on the end of the Brink. Big grey building, wooden door, bench out front. I think there s some scaffolding still left from the construction work. That might help you get down into the canals. But I haven t been around there in a while. Go past the Chinaman s store and over the bridge to Marco Polo. Follow Marco Polo to the Brink, and you ll find it. But I understand desperation. I ve been there. Victory Hotel I need to find the Victory Hotel April vanished back in 09, just days before the Collapse. We spent a long time searching for her before we― Before I gave up. You ve come to the right place. Our sashimi s the best in town. Find yourself a table and I ll have someone take your order. Oh! My guardian angel, I think. I ll tell you all about it later. Let s go. Look, I want to talk to you about something. Where? It s a surprise. Hold on one second, Yuriko. I didn t mean to do this to him. I knew I should have caught an earlier train... You re about to go on an exciting journey into the heart of WATIcorp, and experience the amazing history behind one of the planet s most successful corporations. Please ensure that you have all your belongings with you when you leave the car. Enjoy your visit to the WATIcorp museum! Project Alchera. Please take a seat, and stand clear of the closing doors. We will be departing shortly. I can t believe that graf would still be in April s old room, after all this time. Let s just say that I don t share Emma s faith in miracles. I ve heard the name April Ryan recently. I need to know, Charlie. I think there may be a connection between April Ryan and whatever Reza was investigating. I don t have time to be diplomatic I completely understand, Charlie. It must have been hard on you, losing your best friend like that. I need to find a more diplomatic approach I m sort of going through the same thing myself, except...except I still believe Reza s okay. I m sorry, girl. I m sure he s okay. From what I could tell, your friend s pretty smart and resourceful. Look, why are you so interested in April Ryan? What? Are you serious? When I was inside that place, the hotel, I saw the girl again. She pointed the way to April s room, to the closet where I found the picture. Marcus was a friend of ours back in the old days, until he got into Amathin in a big way. I saw something while I was there. They re testing some kind of device that hooks up to your head. I ve seen it once before. It s probably what brought Reza to Newport. Yeah? You really think Reza s okay? He s an investigative reporter, isn t he? Jericho s famous. I m sure he s been in worse scrapes. Don t worry, he ll be okay. Wait, Charlie? ―and that s everything. I know it s not much, and I know it may not even be your April Ryan, but― I m sorry to ask, but... Charlie, you promised you d tell me what happened to April. Wait, April told you that she d seen another dimension? Okay. Okay, so let s say you re right. The messages I ve been getting... You think that winter place is the parallel world April talked about? Arcadia? Not seen. Been to. A place called Arcadia . There was this man― Cortez. A real weirdo. He told April that she had some kind of...talent. Power. To travel between worlds. And that she was needed. According to what April told us, there are two worlds. This one, and...the other one. Arcadia. A world of magic. They exist in parallel, in balance with each other. I never had reason to doubt anything April said before...but even I was skeptical. So after I got out of the hospital, I started digging. And the things she told us... She s not the only one, Zoë. There are others who have travelled and seen Arcadia. It s real. Look, we don t know that. All we know is that some dangerous idiot put ideas into her head, and― I know, Charlie. Have some faith, okay? I know. I can feel it. I m sorry, Emma, but it does sound a bit― I ve done a lot of research. When you have enough money, even the best kept secrets are revealed to you. Crazy? Delusional? You don t think I ve thought the same thing myself? Ten. And do you remember anything about it? Not really. We were living in London at the time, and our subsection was shut down for several days. My Dad, he wanted to protect me. I didn t see much. Most people don t remember. Or they pretend to have forgotten. Those of us who saw it... You don t forget something like that. But there were things happening even before the Collapse, strange things, like...like dreams leaking through into the waking world. Looking back, everything I ve seen, read, what people have told me, people who had no reason to lie to me... I know she was telling the truth. And I believe she s still there. In Arcadia. From what I know, it doesn t sound like Arcadia, but who knows? The question is, who s the little girl? And why is she trying to contact you? After all, you didn t know April Ryan. Her name meant nothing to you until today. Thanks. I ll be right back. Don t get your hopes up, Emma. We don t know anything yet. How old were you when the Collapse happened, Zoë? Nine? Ten? Chance brought you here, and if you hadn t found the picture and showed it to Charlie, you would never have recognised April s name. After all, Marcus turned out to be a big mistake on my part, and if Reza s gotten himself into something really dangerous... I m sure he doesn t want you to put yourself at risk like this. Did Emma leave already? Early this morning. She has a show later today in Moscow. I promised I d keep her updated. So what are you going to tell her? I don t know. What you just told me, I guess. Who knows, even if it was a dream, maybe you really did speak with April. It felt real enough. I don t know. I need to sort things out in my head. I guess I will go home. I don t feel like crossing paths with Marcus or the twins again. They were probably just trying to scare you. Your friend seems to be onto a pretty big story. Yeah, I just hope that― And mind the Scorpion does not sting you before you sting him. Can we trust him? If not him, then who? He is our most faithful Apostle. He knows not to question our word. He will complete his mission. The Prophet was adamant. There is much resting on this task. It is the last obstacle, the Prophet said. When it is done― The light of the Goddess will wash across the world like a tidal wave, drowning all those who lack Faith. May that day come swiftly. And may the Goddess aid the Apostle in his mission. I said, leave right n― Wait...wait, I recognise you. How did you get here? W-who are you? You re not supposed to be up here. This floor is restricted. Leave. Now! What is this place? Curious This place must be important What...? I― I m sorry, I didn t know there was anyone here. I ll leave right away. I ll be careful, this could be dangerous Go! And don t speak a word of this to― Wait...wait, I know you. Who are you? Confrontational Offense is often the best defense What? How dare you― Wait...wait, I know who you are. You re that girl, the one from Casablanca. The one who was with that awful reporter. I m Zoë. What do you know about Reza? Zoë Might as well tell him, he knows who I am I don t know what you re talking about. I work in maintenance. I m sorry, I took the wrong elevator. I didn t know this was a restricted area. Deny There s still a chance to get out of this If you really worked here, you d know that. You re lying. I can see right through you. You re sweating and your heart s beating too fast. No. No, this is my first day. I really didn t know this was a restricted area. I recognise you. That pretty little face, those big, brown eyes... I recognise your scent and your voice. Reporter? You mean Reza? Where is he? He may know where Reza is Yes. Yes, you re the one, the pretty one with the big, brown eyes. I recognise your scent and your voice. My...scent? No, don t― Don t come any closer, I m warning you! You don t know how blind you really are until you can recognise a person by his or her scent. I smelled you in that reporter s apartment. Outside, too, when you left. You followed him here. Why did you do that? Is it love? Why are you so afraid? Security will be here in a few seconds. So why aren t they here already? Do they even know about this place? The security systems are affected by the Static, isn t that right? That s why you didn t see me coming. What...little girl? Are you and her working together? What are you doing to me? You re taking away my senses! What are you talking about? I have no idea who that girl is. I ll tell him the truth about the girl Liar. Liar! Why would I lie about that? Listen, I m not here to hurt you. I m just trying to find my friend, Reza. Jericho. Yes, I m working with her, and...and we can do a lot worse than taking your senses away. Tell me what you know about Reza! Sounds like he s afraid of the girl - that could work to my advantage Reza? The reporter? The one who calls himself Jericho , the pompous shit? If you seek to destroy what I ve spent my life creating, you d better come prepared. Your friend, he was not prepared. How could you... The cat. I knew there was something about that cat. When he hooked himself up to the Dreamer, I saw him, all of him. And I fed on him. You were in there, in his head, in his dreams. All of you. My pets are everywhere. You can t escape them. I may be blind and deaf, but I see and hear everything. What did you do to Reza? Naked, writhing, alive. Sweating. Moaning. I enjoyed that. It made me ha― I think you re bluffing. I don t think anyone s coming. I think you re alone up here. Or maybe it s not the Static. Maybe the little girl did it. After all, she sent me up here. Why would she do that? Who are you? Where is he? What have you done to him, you monster? He s in a very dark place. His dreams are gone. I took them. But why can t I take yours? Hm? What makes you so...special? Special ? What do you mean? Special What does he mean by special ? My pets put you into dreamland, but I couldn t enter you. Your dreams were closed to me. That s never happened before. Tell me where I can find Reza! I need to find out where Reza is You re too late. He s dead. That s not... No, you re lying. You re lying! He s still alive, I know it. What do you know about the little girl? Girl He must know something about the girl You tell me! You brought her here, didn t you? You walked into my home, and you brought death with you. You blinded me! And that makes you very, very special. Your friend, on the other hand... The one who loved you, the one who made love to you, he wasn t so special. He was like the others. What did you do to him? Tell me! I ate his dreams. He s dead. You can t save him now. She s a disease, infecting my web, my eyes, my ears, my senses. She must be destroyed. No. Reza s not... He can t be. You re lying! He s alive, I know it! No. No! You re lying! Reza s not dead, he can t be, that s impossible. You piece of shit, tell me where Reza is! Now! No! If you come closer, I ll...I ll have you destroyed! I ll have you torn to pieces, bit by bit! I don t want to destroy you...I want to learn from you. You re different from the others. And you re connected to that fucking girl, the one who s destroying my web. You will stay, and I will study you. Is that so? What s going to stop me from ripping those cables from your body right now? Will you survive that, you...you monster? Don t you dare― Oh, finally. My most treasured pets are here. They ll take good care of you, I promise. You ll stay here with me, Zoë, and together we will explore that mind of yours. You re not getting me. And I ll be back for you. I promise. Do you know who I am? Do you? I created this place. I created this company. I am this company. I see everything. I know everything. Take her! Now! Now! Don t let her escape! What are you doing? Get her! I don t know. I think...Reza might be dead. I should tell him what I learned about Reza Hello? Who s this? Alley I don t know where I am I m okay. I made it out in one piece, but I want to get as far away from this place as possible. Okay Tell him I m okay What? What did you find out? I...I can t talk about it here. I just want to get as far away from this place as possible. I ll try and guide you to a place where we can meet. Jericho? Jesus, how did you―? Hold on one second, let me just― So we got in touch, and then Rio went over to Casablanca to meet him. She brought a prototype Dreamer with her to prove we weren t crazy. We knew the risk, but what else could we do? And now... I can t believe Rio s dead. And Jericho... Is there anything you can do to stop it? I don t know. I ve been thinking about it since I first realised what was happening. The Static s starting to kill people. And if the Dreamer launches I... I don t want to think about what might happen then. So yes, something can probably be done...but I can t do it by myself. The plan was for Rio to help me out when she got back from Casablanca. I don t know who else to trust, so I m a bit stuck. You can trust me. Yeah. I know. But...you re not... I can t just ask... Why would you want to help? Why? How can I not help? I may not be any closer to finding Reza, but at least I can do my part in exposing this conspiracy. I m afraid that if nothing s done, this will keep escalating. The Static will get worse, DreamNet will be hijacked...or the corporation will launch the Dreamer. Any way you turn it, it s bad. Real bad. Okay. Good. So we need evidence, we need to know where the intrusion is coming from, and we need to stop the Static from causing any more damage. So how do we do all that? Who are you? Are you new? What are you doing here? You re not supposed to be here. I m... Um... Yes. Yes, I just started. I m going up to, um, the fourth floor to― New I might as well just go with the flow Please, I really need to see someone who works here. It s...it s my boyfriend. I m pregnant! Pleading usually does the trick Well, go on, then. Don t waste my time. Also, for your information, they don t like it when you talk to anyone. So don t. I don t actually work here. I ll just tell her the truth New? Seriously, I ve worked here for over a year now. You don t see the person, do you, just the uniform. Typical. I should use this to my advantage Well, uh... Of course I recognise you. You re... Tara. I m just heading up to the third floor to check some of the, um, vending machines? Oh. Okay. I ll see you later. Let me get the elevator for you. What? You re...you re not supposed to be here! Don t make a sound, or I ll kill you. I m a lot tougher than her What do you mean, I m not supposed to be here? I work here. Trick I need to trick her into thinking I work here Yeah, okay. I m just going to...go... Over here. Really. So where s your ID? My...ID? I left it at home. Home I ll just tell her I left it at home I lost it just this morning. Lost I ll just tell her I lost it - that s plausible enough Shit. The Static must be interfering with the systems again. Is your ID working? The Static The Static s been causing trouble everywhere, so that s always a good excuse Employees get their ID s implanted at orientation. You don t work here! Uh-huh. Employees get their IDs implanted at orientation. You don t work here! What? Uh. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Let me just call the elevator for you, ma am. If you don t tell anyone you saw me, I ll pay you. Bribe Maybe she ll give me a break if I give her some money Okay, um, I m just going to...uh, go. Over here. Aaah... I m just gonna...uh... Sadir has sent an Apostle to take care of that...particular problem. They say that he is one of the best, though I have yet to meet him in person. He arrives soon. As you wish, Prophet. I will put my most trusted man to the task. Rebel raids in the north have impeded deliveries of the necessary raw materials, and further reinforcements from Sadir are not― Please, I― Her light will wash across this world and cleanse it of evil. (Deep sigh) Alisa, bring me my supper. I shall be dining in my office tonight. Business. I may return late. Well. You know where the key is, April. Keep an eye on Brynn, make sure he doesn t follow me. That boy... He takes after you, April. He adores you. You have a responsibility to― Responsibility. There s that word again. He s an adult. I can t babysit Brynn forever. You saved his life. You are the only family he has. Do not forget that. I shouldn t waste my time anymore. Oh. April. You have returned. Good. Did you want something? Yes, what is― Where did the man in the cloak go? The man who just walked through the door. He was wearing a hooded cloak. Followed him directly He came through the door a little while ago. You couldn t have missed him. He was wearing a hooded cloak. Walked around first No one fitting that description has been in here, April. It s a slow night. I would have noticed. That s impossible. I saw him walk in here with my own eyes. Well. I may be old, child, but I m not blind. Now, if you ll excuse me, I have much to do. I know I saw him walk in here. He couldn t have just vanished... They should find someone else to rely on. I can t be anyone s guardian angel. Or mother. You have little faith in yourself and others, child. But I shall not bother you with my lecturing anymore. I have work to do. Good luck tonight...whatever it is you are doing. Take care of yourself. If not for your sake, then for everyone else s. We are not doing anything. You re staying here with Chawan. I m going out. What? You can t go on a mission without us! I m not going on a mission, Brynn. I m just taking a walk. It is as most things Azadi. Large, wasteful, and arrogant. I have never seen its like. They are building a ladder to the heavens. I ll go alone. There may not be a curfew yet, but the soldiers will still notice two or three where they would ignore one. That is true. And I need to speak with someone who can supply us with the herbs, potions, and medicines we need. Well, with Torbear in jail and Hamesh doing business with the Azadi, Oldtown s our best bet, but it closes with the sun. Tomorrow morning, then. First thing. Sounds good, but you ll have to go alone. Chawan and Brynn are taking care of the food tomorrow. Benrime s helping them get in touch with some sympathisers. May the stars shine on you and your endeavours tonight, April-an...or what is it you sometimes say? Break a foot ? Break a leg. But I like may the stars shine on you better, Na ane. May the stars shine on you, April-an. So climbing the scaffolding will allow me to take a closer look at the tower? It is surprisingly poorly guarded...but the Azadi were always arrogant. Maybe it is a temple of sorts. I may not know a lot about the enemy, but they re pretty religious. To call the Azadi religious would be like calling the sun warm. Their faith is all they have. If we shake that, the war is ours. I don t think that s a viable strategy, Chawan. But it s good to know that they have a weakness. Faith is a double-edged sword. This tower of theirs may be another weakness. When I was there earlier, I noticed they were still building. They have put up wooden platforms for the workers to climb. Right. And that girl didn t ask you for help. Which girl? The one who disappeared. The one from Sta― From that place that we can t talk about. She asked for your help, and you just dismissed her. April bloody Ryan! I can t believe it! Who― Brian? Brian Westhouse? The very same! God damn, I can t believe it s you! How the hell are you? I m doing okay. How are you? You re looking pretty good for someone I thought was dead. It s great to see Brian Westhouse again What are you doing here? I thought you were dead. Why did he suddenly show up here? I thought you were dead. What happened to you? Cautious Westhouse was a friend, but that was a long time ago Well, likewise! I mean, I knew you d survived the Tyren invasion and the events that followed, but then - nothing. Scaffolds. Next to the tower? On the tower. If one were to climb it, one might find a way into the tower. Perfect. I need to check it out for myself. That tower must be very important to the Azadi. And, like you said, it could be another weakness of theirs. You will go alone. I need to. If there are more of us― We are easier to spot. And if you are caught, someone still needs to return to the city with the supplies. That is our mission. That s our mission, Chawan. Don t assume that you know what s going on just because of what she said to you. Snap I don t have the patience for this Brynn... You don t understand. That girl, Zoë, she was asking for the impossible. Explain Brynn needs to understand the reality of the situation That girl, Zoë, was asking me to do something I can t do. We have more important things to attend to. There are other matters to attend to, other people who depend on me. On us. Whatever it was she was asking for, she ll have to find it somewhere else. If we don t concentrate on our mission, people will die. And if we don t find a way to defeat the Azadi, this continent will never be free again. I think that s a bit more important than one girl s missing friend, don t you? I m too busy to argue with you. We have a lot to do before we go back, and if we fail, people will die. Ignore I don t have time to explain myself But she needed your help! You can t just ignore that! When the alternative is that the people I ve sworn to protect will suffer...then yes. I can ignore that. I don t agree. If you hadn t risked your life to save mine, I wouldn t be here now. I wouldn t be fighting on your side. And there d be a lot more Azadi walking around. It s not the same thing. This is our world. Whatever goes on in the other world, it doesn t concern us. I think you re wrong. But it doesn t matter what I think. I m still just a kid to you, right? Brynn. Brynn! I warned you, citizen! Stand down, or I ll be forced to kill you! I will not warn you a second time. Get out of here! What are you doing? Alarm! Talk to ghetto guard Now, I want a detailed breakdown of what your team s doing, and when I can expect to see concrete results. Can we stabilise the Dreamcore? I couldn t care less what you think. That s not what I pay you for. I pay you to find out who s fucking with my project. We re on shifts, Ms Gilmore. Dr Lee and I have the core until tomorrow morning. What sort of fluxes? Both physical spasms - like...like nervous twitches - and bursts of pure energy and data. Hugely, hugely complex bursts of data. It doesn t make sense, but Eingana appears to be...how should I put this? Expanding, okay? There s more data inside it than it can physically store. Welcome to the storytime, Zoë. Sit down. Please. I don t know. It doesn t matter here. This is where everything is. Here...you simply are. Alive or dead, you just are. Understand? No. But please go on. You re special, Zoë. You are. You are a dreamer. Someone else told me that. Is that good? It is and it isn t. There s nothing good or bad about it. Like the stars above and the stones below, it simply...is. Oh. So where are we again? In the storytime. This is where the stories are told, the stories that create the sky and the ground and all that is in between. You see, Zoë, this universe and everything in it is like an endlessly thick book, containing countless stories. That s amazing. Can you tell me one of those stories? I could, but not now. There s no time. We need to act before it s too late. I am? You are. I see. What s happening? Why do we have to act? At the beginning, Zoë. At the beginning? It s going to be a long story. My name is Zoë Castillo, and I think I might be dead, but I m not sure. My father s name is Gabriel... How s that even possible? It really isn t. That s also why it s overloading, creating spikes that travel at the speed of light into the Wire. If it keeps expanding... We might, theoretically, be able to shut it down,but we don t know what consequences that might have, both to the project and to the Wire. It could be catastrophical. Everything connected to the Wire, and I mean everything, could conceivably be affected. It s not an option. Disregarding the possible effects to the Wire, if there s any chance the project s timeline will be thrown off, it s unacceptable. You ll have to identify the problem and isolate the intrusion into the system. For short periods of time, which gives us a window to test DreamNet. Eingana has responded positively to direct infusions of Morpheus. All right. Walk me through the process... I told him to keep his hands off the exhibits, sir. I apologise for my grandson s behaviour. If you do that again, Hiro, we re going straight home! And you re not getting any dessert tonight! Oh, my! Hiro! What have you done? That s it, young man! We re going home! Just you wait until your mother hears about this! So, Mr Westhouse... Oh, that was a long, long time ago. Too long. I travelled across the Divide in 33...1933, that is. I may be getting on, but I m not that old. No, I got...unstuck from time, and I was caught between worlds for a while. Where in Stark did you come from? Origins I wonder where in Stark Brian came from Boston, USA. Back when there was a USA. Hell, back when there was a Boston. They re still there, both of them. How did you end up here? Are you a Shifter? Most certainly not. I mean, if I was, I would probably have gone back at some point. No, I made my way through the Divide by more unconventional means. I m not that old, mind you. Something happened that got me...unstuck from time. Have you seen a lot of this world? Arcadia It looks like he s seen a lot of Arcadia I d say so. When Marcuria was invaded by the Tyren hordes ten years ago, I was forced to leave the city. I first travelled east across the Northlands to a place called Irhad - the Sun Empire - and then south across the great ocean to the continent called the Southlands.
