In fact, we were just[sr]on our way to take them all down! [k] @Altera You want to take Space Shinkageryu down?[sr]I find it hard to believe such a thing is even possible... [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_70 1.0] [charaFace A 0] @Altera But very well. For the moment, I will hear what you have to say, retro-futuristic Servant. [k] [charaFace B 23] @Space Ishtar (Retro-futuristic...?) [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_2 0.1] [charaFace B 0] @Space Ishtar I-I'm not really sure what you mean by that, but thanks. And I'm sorry we barged into your territory without asking permission. [k] @Space Ishtar Anyway, is it true that there are Servants from Space Shinkageryu on this planet? [k] @Altera It is. And not only outside the planet,[sr]but inside it as well. Take a look at that.

[k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altera The Space Shinkageryu have been making off with fragments of the Goddess's Jewel from the head of that stake. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 28] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Space Ishtar Hey, Jane! Didn't you say this planet's[sr]only export was condensed gas? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Jane That's what Talkie said, at least. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Space Ishtar ...Then something doesn't add up. That's way too much equipment just for shipping out gas. [k] [charaFace B 28] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_2 2.0] @Space Ishtar They wouldn't be able to sell it quickly enough to offset the cost of upkeep, let alone make a profit. [k] @Space Ishtar So what's going on? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_72 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altera Heh. There used to be many more of those wretched stakes before we destroyed them. We enjoyed that part a lot. [k] [charaFace A 4] @Altera Unfortunately, that last one is much bigger than the others, and it's also guarded much more heavily. [k] @Altera Whenever we try to get close, they run and hide in the planet's cloud cover, where we can't go after them. [k] ?1:Does that mean their base is inside the planet? ?2:Why can't you go after them? ?! @Altera Our people are forbidden from approaching the holy planet. If we did so, we would risk incurring the goddess's wrath and being trapped in a sea of ice for all of time. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_72 1.0] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Jane So your goddess gets angry at you?[sr]Like Ishtarin angry? [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_7 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 24] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Space Ishtar And just what the heck is that supposed to mean?[sr]How is my anger different from anyone else's!? [k] [charaFace B 5] @Space Ishtar Besides, it's not like I go around flying[sr]off the handle at every little slight. [k] @Space Ishtar And only a seriously evil goddess would doom someone[sr]to an icy eternity just because they passed by too closely. [k] [charaFace B 11] @Space Ishtar No, if this goddess is real, she should never let anyone mess with her jewels like this. [k] @Space Ishtar Seems to me like this one needs[sr]to reexamine her priorities. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @C:X I don't think that's it, Ishtar. I'm pretty sure that's just the nomads' way of saying that it's dangerous to get too close to the planet. [k] @C:X Their ships don't have powerful enough engines[line 2]or sturdy enough hulls for that matter[line 2]to escape the planet's gravity well. [k] @C:X So they tell the young nomads not to get too[sr]close lest they incur the goddess's wrath. [k] ?1:Are you eating pudding again, Ms. X? ?! [charaFace C 5] @C:X Shush! It's not like I HAVE to have something sweet to perform coolheaded analysis! [k] [charaFace C 2] @C:X Though yes, since I didn't get to do anything in that battle, I AM downing it by the four-pack as we speak!

[k] @Space Ishtar Just because you guys can't go there[sr]doesn't mean we can't, right? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 4] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altera It's not that simple. Just letting you go there would set a poor example for the new nomads, after all. [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_70 1.0] @Altera That being said... You have certainly proven that you are not our enemy, and that your bravery rivals ours. [k] @Altera If you were to demonstrate your bravery even further, we could be willing to look the other way if you were to visit the Goddess's Brooch. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [bgm BGM_EVENT_62 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Space Ishtar Ahh, I got you. It must be tough,[sr]being a leader in your position. [k] @Space Ishtar All right then, if we get rid of the Space Shinkageryu people hanging around above the planet first... [k] @Space Ishtar ...that should prove that we're brave enough[sr]to go to the planet itself, right? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Altera Glad to see you're paying attention. I'm reminded of a clever man who visited here once some time ago. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Altera Very well then. Once you have proven your bravery,[sr]we can let you visit the Goddess's Brooch. [k] @Altera But be warned, we will be watching you closely.[sr]If you should betray us, we will not warn you again.

Thank goodness we[sr]managed to work something out. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Space Ishtar So on that note... I hate to ask, but would you guys mind if we made a little pit stop? [k] ?1:Hey, we can't turn our backs on them now. ?2:Hey, we needed fuel and info anyway, right? ?! [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 1] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @X Right you are. Only cowards would run away without helping these people now, and we're definitely not cowards! [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Space Ishtar Thanks, guys. So how are things looking[sr]with the Space Shinkageryu, Jane? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 8] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Jane It's just like Altera said.[sr]They're all hanging out near the space elevator. [k] @Jane This is great! We can stock up on Altrium and kick some Space Shinkageryu ass all at the same time! [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 1] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @X Got it. Then I'll put Maanna on autopilot[sr]and set it to remain in geostationary orbit. [k] @X This way, you'll be able to head out whenever you want. If there's anything else I can help with, just let me know! [k] [charaFace E 2] @X Trust me, it's been a dream come true getting to take down Sabers without worrying about the legalities! [k] ?1:(So she did know it was illegal to try and kill them...) ?2:(It's great to see Ms. X acting like her old self again!) ?! [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 1] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Space Ishtar Will do! All right then, let's get this cleanup operation started, shall we!?
