Story/Saint Elmo (Part2)/Script
[In the Griffin command room of Sector S09, after FN Team has successfully withdrawn...]
FN-49: Uuu! ...I, I thought we were goners!
FN-FNC: Honestly, what are you so scared for?
Granted, that ridiculously lightning bolt was kind of frightening...
FN-57: Alright, alright, what’s important is that everyone’s safe.
Now then, have we figured out what that super lightning strike was?
FAL: Helian checked it out, but she couldn’t find anything... Architect was pretty surprised too, apparently.
If even someone responsible for SF weapons testing doesn’t know about it, it’s probably not linked to SF.
My sole doubt now is... *she glances aside to the blonde girl*
FNC, how did you find her?
FN-FNC: We didn’t spot her during our earlier recon...
We found her lying in the ruins after the whole disturbance with the lightning strike.
FN-49: Given that she showed up like that... is, is she really human? I mean, look at her weird outfit...
FAL: She’s definitely human, but we haven’t found any identification on her.
Still, she ought to be connected to that lightning strike...
Blonde Girl: Oooh... urk...
FN-49: Uwah! She, she’s awake!
Blonde Girl: Man, that’s loud... huh? ...Where, where is this place?
FAL: We can communicate? That’s great...
Please tell us your identity and your purpose.
Blonde Girl: Huh... huh? Are you talking to me?
Ah! ...My head hurts! Who am...
... That’s right! I remember I fell into the Cauldron, and then...
FAL: *sighs* ...I’m sorry, but please get to the point.
Noel: Ah! Sorry! I’m Noel Vermillion! Speaking of which, you’re...
This kind of looks like Kokonoe’s lab... are you guys from the 7th Agency?
FAL: The 7th Agency? What’s that...
Noel: Ah, I’m sorry, I should have asked my questions in order. After all, I did come through the Cauldron...
Which year is it?
FAL: ...It’s 2062. This is the Griffin HQ of Sector S09.
Noel: ...
...Eh!?
Isn’t that the western calendar? 100 years ago... Did I really go that far?
Sector S09... I’ve never heard of a place like that.
And this Griffin... what is it?
FAL: ...Don’t tell me you picked up someone ill? *she points at her head*
FN-FNC: I, I don’t know... should I call the hospital?
FN-57: Already on it.
Noel: W-wait! I’m not a weirdo!
It might be hard for you to believe, but please listen to me...
I’m a dimensional traveller, I came here from a future world.
FAL: ...
Noel: ...
Hahh... well, I guess you wouldn’t believe me after all...
FAL: ...Hang on, do you know what that lightning strike was?
Noel: Lightning strike?
FAL: Earlier, a massive lightning bolt hit the place where you appeared. That was where we found you.
Noel: Lightning... don’t tell me...!
When passing through the Cauldron, I saw something like a beam of light pass by me, and then my consciousness...
Could that have warped space-time and caused me to end up in an unfamiliar world...?
FN-57: ...Fal, what should we do? Should we believe her ravings?
FAL: ...In any case, let’s put her under observation and check her out after submitting her name.
Noel: No, you can’t! I can’t stay here! I need to go back!
FN-FNC: Aren’t you a dimension traveller? Can’t you just go “whoosh” and be done with it?
Noel: I can’t go back without an Observer!
FN-57: An Observer? Yet another new term...
Noel: That’s someone who “observes” me... that’s it!
She must be here too, I saw her in the Cauldron!
She suddenly appeared in front of me, with that bolt of lightning...
She had really long ears... like bunny ears.
FN-49: We’ve got a few dolls who dressed up like that several months ago.
FAL: Unfortunately, we didn’t find any bunnypeople on the scene.
FN-57: We were surprised enough as it is to find someone weird like you.
Noel: But... but how...
FN-57: Alright, will you be coming with us, miss? Your room’s ready.
Noel: Uuu... Tsubaki-chan... Makoto-chan...
Will I... never see you guys again...
[After Noel leaves with 5-7...]
FAL: Whew, what a mess. Tonight sure was busy.
Commander, do you believe that mad girl?
If what she said was all true...
FAL: Then we might have missed out on something very important...
[At the same time, in a certain abandoned SF plant...]
Intruder: ...Well this... is getting more and more interesting.
I didn’t expect the “spectre” which emerged from there to be so powerful.
I thought it was just a bridge to the climax, but I didn’t expect we’d get a new member joining us too.
Now... how do you feel, our newly-arrived young mistress?
Please wipe out all the puppets on the stage as you see fit...
