RE CO DIN SR CRG A TT
Alpha Voice: [STATIC] ... directly involved.
Beta Voice: Absolutely. Right this way! This is--er--Forgive our---
A: Please, continue.
B: Yes... Yes. We've finally managed it. Before, we had to rely on natural processes in utero to carry alterations to term. Fetal viability was something we had to closely monitor. But, with this new process, we can use the body's immune response to--er--repair the body into whatever shape we want! The virus therapy only takes seven weeks. Then, we can engage rapid changes at the flip of a switch... remotely [STATIC] ... as many times as we want without repercussions. As you can see [STATIC] ... they only need to express the barest traits by term-end. They breathe, eat, sleep, and defecate. They're living canvases--Living marble for a--er--sculptor's hand... Imperator?
A: To think the eradication of magic was just a simple matter of time and will.
B: ... Quite?
A: What's your opinion of magic, Doctor? Your non-academic opinion.
B: It's too dangerous in the wrong [STATIC]. It must be eradicated of course.
A: Who is responsible for [STATIC] ... eradication?
B: Er... The Interceptors regulate its use.
A: And who regulates the Interceptors?
B: You do, Imperator Locklier.
A: And who regulates Us, Doctor?
B: ... I don't understand. [STATIC]. No one regulates the Imperator.
A: How does that make you feel?
B: Er, safe [STATIC] ... relieved someone so capable is making the difficult decisions.
A: That's not how everyone feels.
B: [STATIC] How do you feel about the project, thus far?
A: It is as We feared. It is perfect.
B: That's... excellent... Imperator, if I may?
A: Yes.
B: Is it true that you created the first Kinigos? You made Artemis before the company's inception? You were the one behind Tegan Brand's initial success?
A: Are those the rumors these days?
B: I would never--
A: We jest, Doctor. Please, relax. Yes... Artemis was my first mistake.
B: Mistake? But wasn't she--
A: We had no idea what We were creating back then. All We wanted [STATIC] ... for the fighting to stop. All We wanted was an end to the suffering of Our family. All We wanted was to end this conflict once and for all--to dedicate Ourselves to healing the rift between Man and Doulosi [STATIC]... but that was before the anomalies and the rampant magical fluctuations. Those dreams were had by a mage who had not yet seen the truth of this conflict. There can be no end to it... for if it were to end... [STATIC].
B: Imperator?
A: How could We have known the destruction Artemis would be capable of? And now, looking at the perfection of Our children... We will be the murderer of millions.
B: B-but a savior of Billions! On and [STATIC].
A: But a murderer all the same.
B: [STATIC].
A: No.
B: [STATIC].
A: [STATIC].
