So we have no sign that something's wrong other than the prediction that this is all just a dream?

＠B：Sion
Right. No matter how many times Trismegistus II runs the numbers, it always arrives at the conclusion that this is a dream.

＠B：Sion
Holmes's reply was, “Fascinating. I believe I will retreat to the world of dreams as well,” before going back to bed. It does not seem like he will be of any help in figuring out what is going on.

Man, I can't even imagine the kind of thought process that'd lead a machine to doubt its own existence, let alone that of the world around it.

When Trismegistus II goes to work, it considers every possibility under the sun. It even accounts for entropy as just another kind of abnormality.

Damn, sounds like a hell of a self-confident estimator. I might even be a little jealous.
[k]

[charaFace A 0]
＠Da Vinci
So if we take that analysis at face value, does that mean we're just characters in this dream, who'll disappear as soon as the dreamer wakes up?

＠B：Sion
That, I do not know. I can only say it appears to be[sr]at least ninety-nine-percent certain that the dreamer[sr]is [%1].
[k]

＠B：Sion
The very fact that we are here discussing this now must mean that the dreamer is observing us, so maybe we are only constructs of [%1]'s unconscious mind.
[k]

[charaFace B 9]
＠B：Sion
And if that is in fact the case,[sr]then I do not see much cause for concern.

I suppose you could, but that would only mean[sr][&he:she] sees you as someone able to do so.

[charaFace C 10]
＠C：Sion
There is nothing to be gained by trying to fight this! Our only real choice is to sit back and see how things play out.

Hmph. So much for that idea then. Come to think of it, I've been neglecting my inventions, but if this really is all a dream, then who cares?

Ugh, nothing dampens your intellectual curiosity,[sr]does it, Sion? Ah, screw it, I'll play along, too.[sr]Hey, heeey. You seeing this, [%1]?

＠B：Sion
All right, while we are here, we should probably talk about something important.
[k]

＠B：Sion
We are currently leaving the Nautilus completely to its own devices. Should we leave it like that, or try to do something to help?

Like what? Even if we wanted to, we don't have any way of intervening from here. Plus, that bit of weirdness with XX aside, there's been no sign anything's gone wrong.
[k]

＠Da Vinci
Maybe we could attempt a forced Rayshift with Director Goredolf using his connection to [%1] as an anchor?

＠B：Sion
...No, I think we had better not. We do not want to inadvertently risk a dream becoming reality.
[k]

＠B：Sion
If someone who definitely exists is made to intervene in a world that normally does not exist, the latter would end up incorporating the former.
[k]

＠B：Sion
In this case, the world that [%1] and[sr]the Nautilus are in right now would be the dream.
[k]

＠B：Sion
While those of us staying behind in the Wandering Sea are technically part of that dream, we are also outside of it.
[k]

＠B：Sion
Essentially, we are in a reality-based dream,[sr]and they are in a dream within a dream...
[k]

＠B：Sion
...and I cannot recommend crossing that line.
