The Conversation that Never Existed
Chiko, were you involved in the mission recorded in the file "Jett 713642"?
Yeah. It was a long time ago.
It's a bit strange, here.
The Construct named Jett said the following in a vocal range only Specialized Constructs can hear.
I can't hear it.
Let me translate it for you.
Bianca says it as she taps the data panel of the KI.GAL Archives. The projection of the Babylonia airdrop platform soon appears in the dim space.
Bianca quickly fast forwards the video, eventually stopping near the end of the recording.
In the recording, the glow of the power grid around Jett gradually fades. He holds himself up with his weapon, barely managing to stand instead of kneeling.
Doctor, perhaps you don't get it, but this is something that has made us truly feel alive.
We've chosen different ways to die, but at least we get to feel what freedom is like while we're alive.
But freedom comes at a price, of course.
Freedom has been a false proposition since we were made into Constructs.
We still chose to run from it even though we knew it was the truth.
Perhaps your courage in telling the truth has invoked our passion for adventure, something that we've almost forgotten.
Thank you...
The glow of the power grid fades completely. A member of the Purifying Force pulls the trigger at that moment, and half of Jett's face is blown away by the explosive shell.
Why did he choose to convey the message in such an unusual way?
Should we include the Doctor... Wanshi on the purifying list?
...
Bianca thinks for a while, then removes Jett's speech from the file.
That's not necessary. It has nothing to do with the doctor.
Jett "never left" a special dialogue in the end.
I see.
(Wanshi...? I think I've heard the name from Commander Nikola before...)
