... I want. Push everything. Past breaking point. I can. Wake "Father".
Embla continues to trudge through the darkness with unprecedented agility.
She skips lightly over the traps on the road as mines explode behind her.
Just need. To get to. The Strip of Truth...
Sensing anomaly inside "The Strip of Truth". Acting according to Directive Number 3 of the "Naraka-Loop Protocol":
Preparing detonations on load-bearing structures.
In response to the anomaly, initiating protocol: Final Arbiter—Machiavelli.
Anomaly... Is it talking about Embla?
What's the... Final Arbiter going to do to Embla?
Embla doesn't have any characteristics of a mechanoid that participates in the "war."
In other words... Embla won't be seen as the champion of this "war."
According to the mechanoids' treatment of "non-combatants"...
...Then we need to pick up the pace.
We need to find a way to reach Embla before she is destroyed.
Yeah. The anomaly in "the Strip of Truth" from the alarm must be her.
We don't know what "the Strip of Truth" is... but we gotta hurry.
School Archive — Speech
...I really don't want to see people's lives consumed in this senseless war.
You are the seeds and carriers of human memetics. Each death saddens me.
Let mechanoids take your place in deciding the outcome. Let these heartless shells bleed the last drop of blood for the future of humanity.
I just hope that when the champion is reborn and steps foot on the surface... you won't forget the defeated.
...Victors and losers are both what the School wishes to keep and grow.
Human civilization can only continue through memetics. Otherwise, we will only be bloodthirsty barbarians hiding in the mountains.
...Regardless which one of you is victorious, you must not forget this.
(Sparse and enthusiastic applauses come from the speaker...)
