Part 137: Post-Intermission
: What could I have done in that situation!? I had no choice!
: Agh, what a mess! Now Hola's got us by the nose... Fatman! You were there too, weren't you!?
: Ugh... Urgh...: Confound it! I can't stand it!
: Stop it, Jiron. Throwing a fit here won't solve anything...: Ugh...
: Jiron...
: (.........) ...What's Garrod doing?
: He's been locked up in his room ever since...
: Well, that was a pretty nasty blow...
: I can sympathize with Jiron. I went through the same thing, once...: (.........) Para, Witz... Keep a close watch on Garrod. He might try to take off alone again.: Okay, got it...: And what the hell were that Sanger guy and Egret doing?: Yeah. We fought where they should have, and had our friends abducted...: (...Elche, just you wait... I'll save you myself, mark my words...!)[SCENE CHANGE]
: Well, hm... I found something, but that something was nothing...
: Care to elaborate?: I ran a bunch of checks on the computer terminals here, but it looks like the systems were only restarted recently.
: What'd you say...?: That's odd... From what I've seen, the Innocent are a group that need computers to survive...: No, this might explain why there are no people here in S-Point.
: How do you figure?: To put it in terms even you could understand, Bowie... It means that S-Point has been uninhabited until just recently. Can you connect the dots and see where the line goes now?: K-kinda...: Oh, really?
: (.........): (.........): Hm? So, wait... What the heck is she, then?: Who knows. Maybe she's a ghost or something...: We're not in the Sea of Lorelei. Ghosts are hot nappenin'... I mean, not happenin'.: (.........) Bowie's words... He brings up a valid point.: Yeah... (...If Magus's group aren't part of the Innocent, then who on Earth are they?)[SCENE CHANGE]
: Yes. It's unfortunate, but we won't be able to cooperate with all of you.
: (.........) ...For what reason?: ...As you are aware, some of our crew have been abducted by the Innocent.: We must act accordingly and rescue them.: (.........)
: (.........) To us, we place the same level of importance on both.: (.........) I see...: Please accept my apologies. Even as you offer our friends shelter and hospitality...: No, it is all right.: We'll most likely end up fighting the Dinosaur Empire anyway. Please at least bear that in mind.: I understand. Then, I wish you godspeed...Banjou and the others leave.
Magus does not take this news well.
: Magus, are you certain about this? Letting them simply walk away...?: Rather than forcing pawns who still harbor unnecessary doubts, it is better to let them maneuver freely.: I see. So they become scapegoats...: Yes. The fighting from this point forth will likely center around them... Egret, keep watch over the Irregulars. They must not be left unsupervised.: ...Understood.
