In Constellia, the massive prediction machine stands quietly, covered in colorful blinking lights. The mechanoid girl with white hair takes her place beside it, inspecting every set of data in her hands.
Clear loaded simulation history.
History cleared.
Reload the memory data—
An untimely ring comes out of nowhere, interrupting Dulcinea. She pauses the simulation machine and answers the call.
How are things, Dulcinea?
Constellia is doing well. I'm performing a new series of simulations.
Is it for a new "Palette Clash"?
No, it isn't.
Palette Clash was carried out based on the possibility of Constellia encountering conflict. It was a full-scale simulation with a known goal.
This time, the simulation has no known goal.
A simulation with no known goal?
Cervantes seems very intrigued by Dulcinea's new project.
Similar to Palette Clash, I've borrowed some data samples from a Golden Age game to build a new simulation platform, hoping to find a different ending through it.
The main data sample comes from the individual named Echo. I've built a simulation platform called "Guardian of Order" for her. The "Guardian of Order" needs to clear five stages to reclaim the "Codex of Order".
I hope that I can simulate her course on the surface through this game.
...Is this the lady named Echo who visited Constellia with Ayla before being taken away by that suit of armor?
Indeed.
Why did you think of using her as the main data sample for this simulation?
Her M.I.N.D. was incredibly complex, and the armor hid many secrets I couldn't decipher as well.
With a special individual like this... I'm curious to find out what new impacts can be produced when such broken data clashes with different variables.
Do you want to witness the new results of this simulation with me, Cervantes?
Cervantes does not reject Dulcinea's offer. He takes a small step back, giving himself a better view of the simulation machine's screen.
The mechanoid girl turns toward the simulation machine and gives the data samples one last look.
