[k] @Outline Essentially, 001 is the prototype,[sr]and 002 is the mass production model. [k] @Outline Anyone working with 001, including the head of research, should seek admin approval before touching it. [k] @Outline Make sure they understand that whoever touches the mask is not to damage it under any circumstances, even to further their research. [k] @Outline The manufacturing process for 001 has been lost,[sr]and our goal is to properly complete it. [k] @Outline The mass-produced 002 models are merely[sr]one possible means to this end. [k] @Outline So, what do we use as our criteria for completion? [k] @Outline You have been told that the aim is for 001 to grant immortality when worn. This is a cover story. [k] @Outline Our true goal is to discover how to kill an immortal. [k] @Outline Now, after two-thousand two-hundred years of research, we have determined that the way to truly kill an immortal is to crush all their possibilities. [k] @Outline To that end, we have been simulating her death and collecting every conceivable method of murder. [k] @Outline Some people initially had the idea to use humans,[sr]but that proposal was summarily rejected. [k] @Outline To do so would cost over one-hundred thousand lives, and killing so many humans so quickly would soon alert the outside world to the village's existence. [k] @Outline So instead, we put 002 masks on dolls created under the first head of research and used them to simulate and collect different methods of murder. [k] @Outline Any concept the 002 masks collected[sr]would then be added to 001... [k] @Outline ...and recorded as a single possibility. [k] @Outline Once 001 has recorded every possible way to be killed, it should then be able to crush any possibility of an immortal being continuing to live... [k] @Outline ...thereby creating the means to kill an immortal. [k] @Outline So please, hurry as fast as you can.[sr]We have no time left to waste. [k] @Outline Please, hurry,[sr]so that all of our hard work will not be for naught. [k] [messageOff] [wt 1.0] @Outline PS [k] @Outline All further research with the first head of research's dolls is now prohibited. [k] @Outline We have learned that dolls wearing the masks have a tendency to go berserk and spread curses at an alarming rate. [k] @Outline One such curse has also attached itself to the Mt. Hourai Anthem tape. Please destroy the tape in question. [k] @Outline While this scenario may seem similar to the living dead that were researched at one point, the potential danger is several orders of magnitude greater. [k] @Outline Make no mistake: those dolls are filled with contempt for humans. [k] @Outline So we have decided to dispose of all the first head's dolls, including the imitation males and virtual females. [k] @Outline Some suggested that we use the menial[sr]labor dolls in their place... [k] @Outline ...but if those dolls were to go berserk,[sr]we would have no means of stopping them. [k] @Outline Suffice to say, our long-held wish has ended[sr]with extremely disappointing results. [k] @Outline We recommend leaving this mountain as soon as possible, and forgetting everything that took place here.
