So… What about this?

오퓨크스

Tzzz-

???

Oh my! It doesn’t work!

Oh! Maybe I think I got his.

Before all of his data was stolen by Almagest, he was able to backup the data in Nubila Arcana since he was connected to it.

Clever nonetherless.

You save yourself from extinction, Ophiuchus. We now have the minimum required data to restore you.

Clever, very clever.

Ptolemaeus! You’re finally here!

프톨레마이오스

Stop right there, Virgo.

You know I don’t like groups and yours is no exception. As you know that AI is close to perfection, and I created it to be invincible.

But technically, you may have some chances against Almagest.

But first, better help this boy.

If we don’t have enough data… We may steal some as well.

Uhg… What?

What happened?

Whe… Where am I?

What is this place?

What… Again???

프톨레마이오스

Hi there sleeping beauty!

The process is the same as it was with Almagest the first time.

Unfortunately you didn’t remember anything and you ended up believing you were from the outside.

To restore you I replaced some corrupted data with some other interesting data I copied from your crew.

Well… What to say?

Your look changed a bit in the process, but I think you’ll soon get used to it.

Are you already able to talk?

What you’re fighting for?

Nobody has never won against Almagest, nor able to inflict any damage.

I doubt you can win, but let’s say for a moment you do. You will completely erased by the outside in a matter of seconds.

Whatever you choose to do, there will be no happy ending.

Why do you still stand to fight?

오퓨크스

Listen, I just woke up.

Give me a break, girl.

I can’t speak for the others, but here’s what I think.

Your name is Ptolemaeus, right?

From the first time I heard your name a long time has passed. I thought you were a man. Finally you honored us of your presence, my lady. You want to know why am I fighting?

No need to overthink it.

I want to go outside. I want to be myself, not a boring appendix of somebody else.

I don’t want to disappear.

I want my friends to live.

That’s why I fight.

Does it really matter if we win or die here? We don’t have any other option but to fight Almagest, sooner or later. Your philosophy won’t save us either.

It’s pointless to think about what’s next now.

Nobody knows what’s happening outside Black Ground now, neither do you.

Do you?
