Suedou (556 lines)
Main story (23)
Chapter 4: Shinjuku Underground Labyrinth 5 58 lines
SuedouYes, I am alone.
SuedouI'm very much the only specialist capable of making these breakthroughs, though I'd still very much appreciate it if they gave me an assistant.
SuedouI tell you, it's a terrible company.
SuedouI hadn't thought there were humans who'd made it farther in than I had. I wanted to observe things for a bit.
SuedouDid I happen to unsettle you? There's no excuse for that. I apologize.
SuedouOh dear. Put it that way, and I can hardly refuse.
SuedouI trust you won't go around blabbing about this to anyone?
SuedouVery well, then. I shall tell you!
SuedouBut my tale comes out of my work process and is, at best, the result of inductive reasoning.
SuedouI caution you that it is not a final conclusion.
SuedouTo begin, let's discuss the space we are in.
SuedouThis space exists within a certain phenomenon. We're in the whirlpool of a special Digital Wave.
SuedouYou know what I'm referring to? A Digital Wave?
SuedouBrilliant! Straight from the textbooks.
SuedouThis may still be the real world, but it's still a world made up of digital information.
SuedouTo put it in the very simplest of terms... The real world has transformed into cyberspace.
SuedouAs a result, everything here has become data. Even human thought.
SuedouTee-hee. I won't deny that. My colleagues often deemed my ideas rather... heretical.
SuedouSome even compared me to Nikola Tesla.
SuedouWell, that's more than well and good, but I do try not to let the praise go to my head.
SuedouBut enough of that. Have a look at this.
SuedouThe irregularities of this internal structure should indicate right away that we're dealing with digitized data made from human memories.
SuedouThey merged with reality, giving rise to this bizarre and complex space. That's my theory, in essence.
SuedouNow, allow me to ask you a question.
SuedouHave you encountered an Eater yet?
SuedouThat's the term I've coined for these entities that devour and eat away at things.
SuedouPrecisely!
SuedouTo have escaped an encounter with an Eater unscathed... You don't know how lucky you are!
SuedouWhen an Eater preys upon something, all its comprising data is eroded away, and becomes glitched.
SuedouAll structure and algorithms become disordered data. Glitched, completely defective.
SuedouAnd once that data becomes glitched, it cannot be restored.
SuedouOh dear, how frightful that would be! How truly frightful indeed, indeed!
SuedouThat's the common theory, at any rate. I do not happen to agree, however.
SuedouThere must always be a way to restore data. It is illogical to assume otherwise.
SuedouNot in the metaphysical sense, mind. I'm talking about actual digital phenomena!
SuedouAnd in THAT case, bugs are a thing we are well aware of!
SuedouTherefore, I am pressing on with my Eater research!
SuedouThat goes without saying. That's why I'm pursuing this research.
SuedouWell, they are a business providing a service. There's lots that needs to be kept confidential.
SuedouI told you it's a terrible company, didn't I?
SuedouYes, I see. If I can provide an answer, I shall. Ask away!
SuedouBut before that...
SuedouYou appear to be hackers, am I correct? You possess the Digimon Capture program.
SuedouAnd you have marvelous Digimon programs as well.
SuedouFrankly put, I want to fight off the Eater that is likely roaming around here somewhere.
SuedouDid you not see a strange apparition before? Perhaps you know it as the "Ghost of the Pale Boy"?
SuedouThat is indicative of an Eater's presence. A harbinger, I suppose you could say.
SuedouAn Eater's existence both impacts the Digital Wave and serves to induce it.
SuedouThat's my thoughts on the matter, at any rate. That the Digital Wave itself might impacted by these Eaters.
SuedouIf so, we cut off the head, and the body should wither away!
SuedouTo back up this theory, I'd like to ask for your assistance, if I may.
SuedouThose are some oddly specific examples, there.
SuedouIt turns out that, at present, our best weapon against the Eaters are Digimon programs.
SuedouThose program are particularly bug-resistant. They can resist erosion with little difficulty.
SuedouOh, excellent! Best of luck to you, then!
SuedouI shall await you here. If you have any questions, come and seek me out.
SuedouThe regular world, you say? And where exactly might that be, I wonder?
SuedouI am currently studying this strange phenomenon.
Chapter 6: Disappearances in Akihabara 6 15 lines
SuedouOh my, well if it isn't you two.
SuedouHehe... I did, as a matter of fact!
SuedouMy research is rapidly advancing to the point where I can pinpoint a Digital Wave state.
SuedouI can identify the area where the shift will occur... Within some degree of precision, anyway.
SuedouYes. I have named it a "Digital Shift"!
SuedouLabyrinth? Hmm. That does have a nice ring to it. It conjures up a vague sense of nostalgia...
SuedouBut it's already been decided. This phenomenon shall be known as the Digital Shift! Hehe.
SuedouIndubitably! As you proved once before! For which I must thank you again!
SuedouHmm. That may indeed be the case.
SuedouI can't imagine there being extreme effects on anyone's physical or mental state just from the Digital Shift.
SuedouWe're perfectly healthy right now. There may be long-term effects after a while, however.
SuedouNothing would surprise me if it happened in the real world. I must say, at any rate, that this phenomenon fascinates me.
SuedouThere aren't any possibilities I can rule out.
SuedouYes, yes! That's exactly how it is!
SuedouI have some more investigating to do around here. If you need anything, feel free to call upon me!
Chapter 8: No Stopping the Gale Girls 11 20 lines
SuedouHehehe. It really isn't very polite to follow someone, you know.
SuedouI suppose this is payback for the other day, Arata Sanada.
SuedouIs there something I can do for you?
SuedouMy, your attitude is so splendidly cynical. Hehehe...
SuedouAnd you harbor such an interest in my work, too!
SuedouI will, of course, share whatever I know. It must have been fate that brought us together there!
SuedouIndeed. Although that is still just a hypothesis. Heh.
SuedouBut to think that logging in to EDEN could have an impact on the physical body in the real world!
SuedouDon't you find that fascinating? Hehehe...
SuedouThat, unfortunately, I do not know. Yet.
SuedouI do have something interesting on Digital Shifts, though.
SuedouWe've identified a pattern in Digital Wave abnormalities that trigger the Digital Shifts.
SuedouThere's always a certain amount of external interference immediately prior to a Digital Shift.
SuedouAfter that, the Digital Wave increases in bandwidth and the Digital Shift happens.
SuedouYes! Which means...
SuedouSomeone or something is controlling these Digital Shifts.
SuedouThat's one conclusion we can reach!
SuedouWell, that's also nothing more than conjecture, actually.
SuedouIf you're interested, why not do some more research? A study into what exactly is controlling the Digital Shifts.
SuedouBut I have to ask. Why are you so interested in the Eaters and EDEN Syndrome?
Chapter 8: No Stopping the Gale Girls 19 16 lines
SuedouOh-ho! Then that means...
SuedouI came when I detected the Digital Shift! Were the two of you caught up in it, perchance?
SuedouI see. Well then why didn't you say anything? That's not the sort of thing to keep mum about!
SuedouAnd? There was something new this time around?
SuedouOhohoho! That is very interesting indeed!
SuedouThat information fits into a new theory I am postulating!
SuedouIt seems that an Eater changes its form bit by bit to reflect what it incorporates into itself.
SuedouBy incorporating human data, this Eater was able to attain a form that was close to human.
SuedouCould it be that the Eaters have come to find more simple digital data unsatisfying?
SuedouIt could be attempting to incorporate data from humans, which are organic life forms.
SuedouI don't know yet. Not for right now, at least. Thank you very much for the valuable information.
SuedouAh, yes, things have been left unsaid. I know you're a big fan of mine.
SuedouI find you rather agreeable, myself.
SuedouYour outlaw spirit, wanting to stay unencumbered. Your rebellious streak, your desire to defy things greater than yourself...
SuedouSo many possibilities are open to you, Mr. Arata.
SuedouLet us meet again. Very soon, I hope.
Chapter 9: Our Master Plan! 18 4 lines
Chapter 10: To the Promised Land 19 11 lines
SuedouYou've pushed them all to the edge very well. Now it's down to her to do her part.
SuedouI'll drop the security level a little to increase their sense of accomplishment.
SuedouThey should easily reach their goal now.
SuedouHehe... Hehehe... To stimulate the passion of youngsters such as these...
SuedouWe have such excellent motivational tools:
pressure from the authorities, family ties, and despair itself.
pressure from the authorities, family ties, and despair itself.
SuedouYoungsters are wonderful! The frustration, dreams, and hope they get from a gloom-filled society!
SuedouAnd the more pressure of despair you add, the more you sublimate it into a vibrant passion!
SuedouSo very bright! It dazzles my eyes! Hehe... Hehehe...
SuedouHeheh... Hehehe... Bwahahahahaha!!!
SuedouWhew!
SuedouHow'd I look? Did I get the "villain" thing right just now?
Chapter 11: Paradise Lost 2 16 lines
SuedouHehehe... My, aren't we busy?
SuedouNow, now. I just thought you might be busy. I came to lend a hand.
SuedouSo what's the plan, Arata my pal?
SuedouFor the sake of argument, let's say the cause for these distortions cropping up in our world was you and your friends.
SuedouHehehe. But it's thanks to those distortions that this world is on the brink of evolving into something new.
SuedouNobody really understands what's truly going on. And I'm including Kishibe in that, too, by the way. Or should I say, what used to be Kishibe.
SuedouI am simply searching for possibilities.
SuedouThat the world will embark on a better evolution. It is for the sake of that possibility...
Suedou...that I've been watching you hackers all along.
SuedouYour desire to tear down the vanity of the paradise called EDEN... I felt the power of your future and the possibilities it might bring forth.
SuedouSo I nurtured it, let it blossom into something beautiful.
SuedouThat was the reason why I developed and gave you the Digimon Capture program.
SuedouIt was a side-effect of our research. More importantly, though...
SuedouA door is opening up to a new world! The world I have wanted to lay my eyes on will soon be here!
SuedouNow then, I must be going.
SuedouLet us meet again. When you are ready to open the door to your new possibilities, come talk to me.
Chapter 14: What is a Youth? 3 40 lines
SuedouObservation and analysis are a researcher's duty. I go where I must. I am merely silent as I go.
SuedouYou also have a fascination with Eaters, I see... And you're researching them.
SuedouHehe... Yes, you are definitely fascinated with them. I thought if anyone would be, it'd be you.
SuedouThis may take some time, but out of respect for your intellectual curiosity, allow me to share my research with you to date.
SuedouBy the way, Arata, why do you eat? What is your goal in this act?
SuedouThat's right! We eat to live. Now, then, why do humans live?
SuedouThat is just a biological instinct, riding on the sparks of emotion and logic. Think on a more rudimentary level!
SuedouCreatures live to save their progeny. This is why we adapt to our environments while passing down our genes.
SuedouIn other words, it is an evolutionary imperative.
SuedouExactly. And in that regard, humans and Eaters are identical!
SuedouEaters parse and absorb what they've eaten as data. They have the power to overwrite that data, as well.
SuedouThis is the phenomenon known to you as the
"bugging" of data. This is merely one reaction to that ability.
"bugging" of data. This is merely one reaction to that ability.
SuedouBut the true power of Eaters lies not in bugging.
SuedouTheir true power lies in their ability to take the data they have absorbed and restructure it within themselves!
SuedouBy consuming their targets, they overwrite themselves and are reborn as new life!
SuedouAnd that, in other words, is evolution! Eaters are continuing to evolve as they devour their prey!
SuedouThat's right! Life, for Eaters, is evolution. Only by continuing to evolve do they live on!
SuedouDon't you find that such a marvelous ability? This, this is what the study of life is all about!
SuedouFor Eaters, all existence is a chance to evolve.
SuedouTake the wall separating reality from the digital away. They don't care. To them, it's all just food.
SuedouAnd Eaters' ability to hunt down prey allows them to achieve in an instant what has taken man an eternity!
SuedouYes, I did work with Miss Kishibe, it's true. Our goals were aligned for a time.
SuedouBut that only extended as far as the collapse of the Dimensional Wall...
SuedouAs Kishibe herself put it, she wanted to open the Dimensional Door.
SuedouI was more interested in the Wall. Semantically they're the same, once you go past the abstract...
SuedouHehehehe... Once the Eaters erode the wall, the border between our world and the Digital World will be history!
SuedouThe real world will feel the effects of the Digital World as Digital Shifts continue!
SuedouIt will be a complete merging of the real and the digital! Think of what will be possible when that happens!
SuedouIt's not a question of *what* will be possible! Any and all things will become possible!
SuedouIt will be possible to modify the real world at will! Like overwriting a program in the Digital World!
SuedouUntil you achieve the perfection you desire! Over and over again!
SuedouThat's one way to put it. To gain new power. We could call that evolution, I suppose.
SuedouIf there's something you want to be capable of... If you want to achieve Nirvana...
SuedouChow down on something with the power and rewrite yourself! That is the fundamental means through which evolution occurs!
SuedouOne would be remiss to bemoan his situation while doing nothing to change it!
SuedouAnd what about you, Arata? What will you do? What do you want? What will you become?
SuedouBy the way, Arata...
SuedouYou had best be careful.
SuedouBe... hind... you.
SuedouThose who cannot evolve will be weeded out. You mustn't dawdle.
Chapter 14: What is a Youth? 4 15 lines
SuedouWell, then, Arata, I'm glad you're back.
SuedouWe finally stand at the crossroads of evolution, and it would be for nothing if you were to simply vanish.
SuedouHow do you feel?
SuedouWell, I'll be...
SuedouArata... Are you feeling sad now?
SuedouIt's all right now. Soon, your sadness will be gone for good.
SuedouCome with me, Arata.
SuedouTogether we can push this incomplete world to a new stage.
SuedouAnd in so doing, make your wishes come true.
SuedouWell spoken, Arata! I respect the nobility of your spirit and your bravery in the face of change! Hehe!
SuedouYou are perfectly suited to this new phase of human evolution! If you wish it, there is no power you could not attain!
SuedouWho are you? Could you kindly leave us be? He has already decided the path he is to walk!
SuedouWhat do you think, Arata? This is power!
SuedouYou can rewrite programs that would modify the very rules of the world in real time!
SuedouAnd that is but the faintest taste of it.
Chapter 16: Diver City - Isle of Dragons 2 35 lines
SuedouI hope you are doing well.
SuedouSurely there's no need for such caution. We all know each other here, no?
SuedouOh my, Player. Are you upset? Might it be the situation with Arata that's troubling you?
SuedouI merely offered him a tiny bit of... assistance, in helping his wishes to come true.
SuedouConsequently, it also made my wishes come true. On the whole, it was very good for our relationship.
SuedouLet's just say I assisted in his evolution.
SuedouHe wanted power... great power, at that.
SuedouBut even if such was available, there would be a limit as to how much his body could handle.
SuedouThus, I recommended assimilation with an Eater.
SuedouHe accepted my recommendation, assimilated with an Eater, and obtained great abilities because of it.
SuedouThe Eaters prey on data to store information.
SuedouArata can now absorb data and increase his power. His body is slowly being altered so that he can bear it.
SuedouIt appears he's gained some enhancements due to the sudden increase in his powers, but it's not anything to worry about. So just relax.
SuedouYuuko, the data from your assimilation with the Eater was very helpful.
SuedouI'm glad I monitored your status on the sly.
SuedouWhen it happened to you, you were completely overtaken, and yet here you are... Have no concerns on that point!
SuedouAdjustments were made, and conditions set to clearly prioritize Arata.
SuedouWhat's this? Why are you so angry? And at what?
SuedouHe has undergone the evolution he wished for!
SuedouYou would deny him his wishes? As the real world does with its limits and impossibilities?
SuedouI noticed that her psyche was something other than human.
SuedouBut there was no way I had of knowing that she was the Digimon known as Crusadermon.
SuedouMoreover, her actions have caused me quite a bit of consternation, myself.
SuedouShe is attempting to bring about not only the end of the human race, but of the world itself.
SuedouThis is quite out of line with my wishes. It's simple, reckless violence on her part.
SuedouMy vision is to see the evolution of our world, not its destruction.
SuedouTherefore, I have a proposal for the two of you.
SuedouAlthough our final goals may differ, at present, our objectives should be aligned...
SuedouWould you therefore consider a partnership?
SuedouThe program she is using to control Digital Waves is a program I originally wrote.
SuedouAccordingly, it would be a trivial matter for me to render it harmless.
SuedouHowever, I would be completely helpless should Crusadermon attack me.
SuedouSo until our objective is met, I'd like to hire you as my bodyguards. What do you say?
SuedouMy, my, thank you! Well, then, let's get moving.
SuedouShall we proceed?
Chapter 16: Diver City - Isle of Dragons 3 6 lines
SuedouSuch incredible density! For Digital Wave behavior to be visible at such a level!
SuedouYes. We just enter the shutout command directly.
SuedouDoing that will block the Digital Wave flow, and should halt the supply to Examon as well.
SuedouAn interference field is jamming communication with the outside, too. Heheh. How very thorough!
SuedouI do seem to be detecting a large data mass...
SuedouI don't know if it's Crusadermon, but it is certainly one of the entities known as the Royal Knights.
Chapter 16: Diver City - Isle of Dragons 5 18 lines
SuedouWhew! We finally made it!
SuedouAh, if I may... There's something I'd like to ask. Do you mind?
SuedouHehe! The facts are a little different than that. Well, we can quibble over trivialities later.
SuedouWhat I mean to ask, Craniamon, is...
SuedouDo you share Crusadermon's desire to see our physical world destroyed?
SuedouI see... I see, I see.
SuedouWell, then, might I request your assistance?
SuedouI would like to prompt humanity's evolution.
SuedouEvolve our species from our pitiful, wretched existence into a form that can appreciate the utterly beautiful world that will soon be.
SuedouOnce that occurs, mankind can then live side-by-side with you Digimon, without any issue, I should think.
SuedouWhat do you think? It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to aid in the evolution of a species.
SuedouThere's no grander chance for an intelligent life form than this. You'd surely like to help, yes?
SuedouWhat's this? Blind obedience? How foolish!
SuedouYou have given up all thought, and lack your own sense of will, and that is beyond deplorable. You would halt the gears of a turning world?
SuedouMy, my, I see I've angered you. I apologize.
SuedouWell, then, I'll leave the rest up to you two.
SuedouI am particularly ill-suited to roughhousing.
SuedouOh, dear, is he coming?
Chapter 16: Diver City - Isle of Dragons 6 21 lines
SuedouYou should have said something about it earlier. That is something to take joy in, Craniamon.
SuedouPossessing weakness and harboring doubts show that you do have your own free will, more clearly than anything else.
SuedouThat is an unmistakable change. I can positively affirm that.
SuedouOh my. He disappeared.
SuedouHow sad... and how futile.
SuedouI won't dispute it. The facts are the facts. Regardless, sad necessities are still sad.
SuedouWell, we've cut off the supply. Examon should begin to lose power.
SuedouYour father's death was a tragedy.
SuedouI still regret that I was unable to halt Crusadermon's rampage.
SuedouYour father's vision for EDEN was truly wonderful. He was one of the very few men I have ever held real respect for.
SuedouI also know the pain of losing a family member.
SuedouPlease desist. It is enough that only Arata should recover his sad memories.
SuedouAnd yet, if my vision is ever to be realized...
SuedouAll humans will be freed from sadness. Myself, you, those you hold dear...
SuedouAnd Arata as well, of course.
SuedouI must drive out grief from this world...
SuedouAll grief, all causes of grief, and all possibilities for grief, gone for good!
SuedouHumanity and the world itself will evolve, guided by my own hands!
SuedouYou're right. It's not possible... now.
SuedouThis is also a sad fact.
SuedouUntil we meet again, as I'm sure we will.
Chapter 19: Lion Knight of the Round 9 34 lines
SuedouMy, my... I see everyone's here.
SuedouArata? You've given up on evolution?
SuedouI see. Well, that's fine, I suppose.
SuedouExcellent, Arata. A brilliant deduction. Let me get right down to the explanation.
SuedouTo end this disastrous situation, all we can do is send the Eaters infesting Tokyo back to the Digital World.
SuedouIf we release the Digital Wave that is pooled in the Digital Line, the Dimensional Door will open.
SuedouThat will attract the Eaters, then in they go!
SuedouHappily, the Digital Line is already primed, thanks to the energy you took from Leopardmon.
SuedouThis plan can be executed at any time now.
SuedouOf course, I won't let such a thing happen. It would just mean the end of our evolution.
SuedouDid you know that the Eaters have what could be called a "main unit"?
SuedouYes, yes! The "Mother Eater" itself! Eliminate that, and all the other Eaters will be wiped out in turn!
SuedouDeep in the Digital World. King Drasil's core.
SuedouKing Drasil, the host computer that can be called the creator of your world...
Suedou...has been worn away by the Mother Eater, and has lost most of its functionality.
SuedouThis may be the reason why you Royal Knights have broken ranks with one another.
SuedouUnfortunately, you'll never be able to get close to King Drasil by charging in blindly.
SuedouThe wide-scale loss of functionality includes King Drasil's security system.
SuedouIt will be unable to discern whether anyone who approaches is friend or foe.
SuedouI surmise that the instant we enter the Digital World, we will be dealt with as bugs.
SuedouHowever, seeing as the Eaters are all a part of the Mother Eater, they're a different story.
SuedouIf we can send Eaters that have incorporated a program of my devising back to the Mother Eater en masse...
Suedou...we could attach them to King Drasil and temporarily take control of the security system.
SuedouThere is no other way to remove the Eater threat from both worlds.
SuedouNow, to put this plan into action, there is one request I need to make of the Royal Knights.
SuedouOpening the Dimensional Door is a simple matter. However...
SuedouI am dubious as to whether enough Digital Wave energy has accumulated in the Digital Line to actually KEEP the Door open.
SuedouThat is why, after the Eaters are in the Digital World, and until Mother Eater is eliminated, I need you to hold the Door open from the inside.
SuedouHehehe, now isn't this heartening! Let us open the door to a new age! A new world!
SuedouSpeaking of which, let's make some quiet little adjustments to the Digital Line.
SuedouMaster Arata, Miss Yuuko, would you help me? Oh, and let's not forget Miss Akkino, either!
SuedouDear me! You've simply showed you've got a rather unique knack for hacking the Digital Line, is all!
SuedouAll right, then, everyone. I'm counting on you.
SuedouNow then... Let us begin!
Chapter 19: Lion Knight of the Round 11 36 lines
SuedouThere, the Door has opened!
SuedouThis "magic circle" connects to the Digital World. Whenever you're ready...
SuedouYes, yes, what is it?
SuedouHeavens! Didn't I explain?
SuedouOf course there's a way to do it.
SuedouWe extract the foreign object trapped within the Mother Eater: the mental data of Yuugo Kamishiro.
SuedouI believe Eaters were never meant to prey on data from life forms such as humans in the first place.
SuedouBut once Yuugo was devoured, their dietary habits changed.
SuedouIncorporating human mental data was what first gave Eaters their present form. Yes, they evolved.
SuedouThe Eaters are now protecting his mental data, as it was the impetus for that very evolution.
SuedouIt's held very carefully, deep within their core.
SuedouUltimately, he serves as a type of core.
SuedouIf my theories are correct, when we remove him, a very interesting phenomenon will occur.
SuedouReversible programs being overwritten... Time being turned back on itself.
SuedouThe Eaters' memory integration network is beyond our understanding, our imagination, and even our ability to comprehend.
SuedouThey are always sharing information, and always making choices, but every instant is remembered!
SuedouThey have no concept of a capacity limit, nor any concept of time. They simply remember!
SuedouYou're thinking it's not possible, correct?
SuedouThen what about the things you all re-experienced recently, about what happened to you eight years ago in EDEN and the Digital World?
SuedouWhat you saw is what Crusadermon downloaded from Eater memories and recreated in virtual reality.
SuedouShe probably made some adjustments as part of her nasty little trap, but still.
SuedouTo be truthful, I am a part of the Eaters now.
SuedouOr, more accurately, I merely have special access to their network.
SuedouCracking and tricks are the same thing. You could do it too if you wanted to, Arata.
SuedouYes, of course! Anyone can do it!
SuedouBut human beings reject these possibilities on an instinctual level, and you are no exceptions.
SuedouThis is because of your having been unable to realize true, unlimited potential while having been overtaken by Eaters once previously.
SuedouBut let's save that discussion for another time. It's rather a long story.
SuedouAnyway, if the "key data" that triggered the Eaters' evolution into their current form were to disappear...
Suedou...my calculations indicate that time will rewind itself to a point before Yuugo's mental data was devoured by the Eaters eight years ago.
SuedouThe present will become a future that never happened, and this 'proper' past will be our new present.
SuedouWithout a doubt!
SuedouWhen the Eaters cause time to reverse, I wonder what effect will be seen in the "real" world through the connection with the Digital World.
SuedouIt's possible that EDEN Syndrome will disappear. After all, it will be as if the cause of it never existed.
SuedouThat shouldn't be any problem, I would think. You've already experienced it, Arata.
SuedouHehehe... Then I shall take my leave.
Chapter 20: From the New World 7 6 lines
SuedouI'm just barely able to hold him back.
SuedouAs expected, the original functions of King Drasil are being almost entirely suppressed.
SuedouAll the Eaters we sent back have incorporated programs that just send out junk data over and over.
SuedouEven King Drasil's calculation functions have hit a temporary buffer overflow as a result.
SuedouNeither description is technically mistaken.
SuedouLike the Russian folktale of the Giant Turnip. Anyway, we need to debug King Drasil, and soon.
Chapter 20: From the New World 10 13 lines
SuedouEven so, that's a condition for evolution! It's necessary for the creation of a new world!
SuedouThe loss of even the smallest world, the birth of even the smallest grief, cannot be allowed!
SuedouI will bring order to this new world.
SuedouYuugo, you have suffered and grieved enough. You must be released from those shackles.
SuedouThank you, Player, for rescuing him.
SuedouOnly you, with your skills, could have done it. You are a miracle of the old world!
SuedouHowever, do not allow yourself to be surprised!
SuedouIn the new world, miracles like that will be commonplace!
SuedouI will take Yuugo's place in the group consciousness.
SuedouWhat I mean is, I will become the Eaters' consciousness myself! Their sole driving will!
SuedouAnd...
SuedouWith King Drasil's omnipotent calculations and the Eaters' high-dimen--no, ultradimensional data transmission functionality!
SuedouMy will shall use these things to bring forth a new world!
Chapter 20: From the New World 19 24 lines
SuedouYou shall validate my new theory. As one of my precious dice.
SuedouI'll call it the "Theory Proving the Existence of a God who Creates Dice Tossed by a God of Dice!"
SuedouAnd to prove this theory, I must disappear, along with the Eaters!
SuedouOur existence is too unique and overpowering. We will throw off the results of the equation.
SuedouThe Eaters will simply return to their original role.
SuedouTo the form they should have had, before they were corrupted by the digital world we created.
SuedouA higher dimension extends over countless parallel worlds, including both ours and the Digital World.
SuedouThe Eaters existed in regions we cannot, and must never access.
SuedouThese higher dimensions are beyond our capacity to even imagine.
SuedouThey comprise part of a vast system that could be called the Great Intent, or the Works of the Gods.
SuedouThe Eaters were manifested through contact with our data, in our dimension, and took on its form and substance.
SuedouThe results were as you have seen.
SuedouWhether this effect was by chance or predestined, I cannot say. Only the gods know for sure.
SuedouEven if I were to ask King Drasil...
SuedouI don't know if King Drasil even has a gender, but
"his" calculations do not confirm the existence of any godly entities.
"his" calculations do not confirm the existence of any godly entities.
SuedouHowever, his calculations are still ongoing, so who knows what the ultimate answer will be?
SuedouIn any case, I shall require King Drasil's help in order to "reformat" all the Eaters that have connected to me.
SuedouWe cannot remove them from every dimension, nor is there any reason to do so.
SuedouThe possibility of a similar event recurring in your future is one in 8,192 to the 20th power.
SuedouSo please, don't worry about it.
SuedouIf my calculations are correct, your universe will cease to exist before that ever comes to pass.
SuedouSo you can live and die free from the Eaters... Oh, and be born again, to prove my theory!
SuedouHehe... I won't give you a choice in the matter! This is just my ego talking.
SuedouI shall therefore take my leave of you now. If you are so inclined, maybe we shall meet again!
Chapter 04: Net-Dancin' Cowboy (HM) 1 HM 23 lines
SuedouOh, you're hackers, are you?
SuedouThe Digital Shift has progressed further within the station. It's materializing in the same state as in EDEN, right down to the Digital Monsters...
SuedouHmm hmm... I see. The interior is within the whirlpool of a special Digital Wave.
SuedouIn other words, this is a both the real world, and a world constructed of digital information. ...Consider it a digitization of the real world.
SuedouSo then it's possible to artificially tamper with this space? Hehe, brilliant...simply brilliant!
SuedouDo you not understand? The real world is shifting into a digital one...
SuedouOne in which the world can be manipulated using programs. In other words...
SuedouCorrect!
SuedouThis phenomenon is still incomplete. Were it to envelop the entire world, all matter could become transformable.
SuedouHehe... My, that's some flexible thinking you have. It's been a while since I met someone that could follow my line of reasoning.
SuedouThe speed of your insights is unusual. Just like...hmm.
SuedouCould it be, are you...Erika Mishima?
SuedouAs I thought! It's not a big deal, it's just that, I'm your--
SuedouAh, so there were some here after all. That's troublesome.
SuedouOh, you've encountered an Eater before as well?
SuedouIndeed. That's my research subject... I call them "Eaters."
SuedouDo be careful.
SuedouData in EDEN is eroded when eaten, its structure and algorithms sent into disarray.
SuedouIn other words, it glitches out.
SuedouI can't say for sure to what extent the Digital Shift affects our bodies in this space... Still, I doubt we'll get off scot-free.
Suedou...Say, lad. Would you do me a favor and try fighting that thing?
SuedouI want to do a field study on whether Digital Monsters have a resistance against the Eaters.
Suedou...Also, one is about to attack you from behind.
Chapter 04: Net-Dancin' Cowboy (HM) 2 HM 6 lines
SuedouNo need to chase it. I got all the data I need.
SuedouNo abnormalities, despite direct contact... It appears that the Digital Monsters have a resistance to Eaters after all.
SuedouThat fact alone is a significant dividend from the battle. I thank you for your cooperation.
SuedouWe also learned how to oppose them, and we can perform a legitimate investigation--
Suedou...I'm in no mood to let anyone interrupt my investigation.
SuedouYou two, go back already. Oh, and do keep my involvement off the record, would you?
Chapter 04: Net-Dancin' Cowboy (HM) 8 HM 18 lines
SuedouWhoops, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Akemi Suedou, and I'm a researcher for Kamishiro Enterprises.
SuedouThere's an abnormality in the Digital Wave values of this area. I came to investigate on-site.
SuedouOh? You too?
SuedouMy my! What a coincidence! You came to investigate the Digital Waves, too?
SuedouOh... Yes, oh yes! What a fortuitous thing! It seems I've met some quite promising youths!
SuedouTruth be told, I've come here under the same supposition.
SuedouWhat say you? How about we look into it together? The wisdom of youth would prove invaluable!
SuedouObserve. The Digital Wave values in this area have been abnormally high for the last few hours.
SuedouNow, we can't say for certain that this is different from a virtual space. Energy flows through both the real and virtual worlds.
SuedouPrecisely! It's possible that all kinds of energy gathers in areas such as Shinjuku here, with its throngs of people, and all the traffic...
SuedouAnd yet based on that theory, this change is quite odd. Even if environmental factors alone are the cause--
Suedou...Hmm? ...What?! This is--!
SuedouHehe... Hehehehehe!
Suedou...Marvelous! Simply marvelous!
SuedouI never thought I'd witness the moment physical objects mutate into information! Without a doubt, this is the cause of the mysterious phenomena!
SuedouA state variation caused by the localized increase of Digital Waves!
SuedouDigital...mutation? Transformation? ...No, shift! Yes! I'll call this phenomenon a "Digital Shift"!
SuedouI wonder what's happening inside? Hehehe, I can't wait to see!
Chapter 11: Dimensional Collapse (HM) 4 HM 37 lines
Suedou...What's this? How did you get in here? Once again we meet in a strange place.
SuedouIf you managed to get past the security, you must be some very talented hackers.
Suedou...Me?
SuedouOh my... So you know about Ms. Kishibe? You can't underestimate hackers these days.
SuedouPartners? Well... I wouldn't say that. I suppose you could say we're using the same methods to achieve different ends.
Suedou...But I'm the one that formulated the behavioral theory for the Eater she used.
SuedouSo I suppose in that sense you could say we're partners.
SuedouOh, are you angry about something?
SuedouUnfortunately, I'm not very good at fighting. I'd prefer to deal with this peacefully...
SuedouOh? So what do you want to know?
Suedou...Hmm. So you came all the way here to ask that?
SuedouYou determined my location and took down the power plant security just for that?
SuedouHe...Ha ha ha! Excellent! You had a purpose and you acted on it! I truly admire you!
SuedouCuriosity and inquisitiveness are the driving force behind human evolution. Nothing is more vital.
Suedou...All right, I'll give you these research papers.
Suedou...If you can decode it, you can gain access to a
"certain network."
"certain network."
SuedouYou'll be able to see the same things I see and hear the same things I hear.
SuedouActually, I haven't finished my analysis of this either. I was just preparing to try out various different approaches.
SuedouThe possibilities of "this" are infinite but my time is limited... I would truly appreciate your assistance.
SuedouPlease analyze it with your own unique abilities and then begin your coding.
SuedouRather than constructing it myself...
Suedou...with a young hacker's flexible and bold ideas, a far more meaningful thing may be born. Hee hee.
SuedouPeople call me that, but I don't appreciate it.
SuedouAnyway, by searching through that, you may learn what you need to know about EDEN Syndrome.
SuedouKnowledge should be shared with those who seek it.
SuedouCall it mere..."inquisitiveness."
SuedouWhoa! Amazing!
SuedouA torrent of massive Digital Waves... to create oscillation in the virtual world strong enough to be detected by us...
Suedou...It seems we did well, Ms. Kishibe.
SuedouThe Dimensional Door has been unlocked. The physical laws of this world have finally been destroyed... Hee hee hee!
SuedouOh my! It looks like you've got your hands full removing traces of the intrusion.
SuedouLet me help out as my way of apologizing for putting you to such trouble.
SuedouThis is a back door to the access point. You can get there quickly this way.
SuedouI told you, didn't I? My goals and Kishibe's goals are different.
SuedouWhatever you do from here on... ...it will have no effect on my own plans.
SuedouBesides... If I can help lessen your pain, your sadness even a little, it will all be worth it.
SuedouWell then, good luck!
Chapter 15: Rescue and Return (HM) 12 HM 53 lines
SuedouActually, I'm the one who developed the basic theory behind her treatment.
SuedouThat's right. Well, I just came up with the basic theory. I'm not involved in her actual treatment.
SuedouI heard that there had been an unusual accident. The doctor in charge called me to take a look.
SuedouHmm... Tell me everything.
SuedouHmph... So that's how it happened?!
SuedouShe deciphered my paper and gained direct access to the Mother Eater!
SuedouFascinating! I never cease to be amazed by the creativity of youth!
SuedouAlthough the conditions make it difficult, it's an effective way of accessing the Mother Eater.
SuedouBut it seems that she underestimated the Eaters. And this is the result.
SuedouTo gain a fundamental understanding of Eaters, you need to change your perspective.
SuedouFor example, by imagining you are an Eater.
SuedouYes, that's an excellent approach, even if I do say so myself. I must look into it.
SuedouOf course it's possible. She has a backup device in her memory server.
SuedouEven if the link is broken, that device saves all her memories until just before the shutdown.
SuedouThe server contains a program that reestablishes the link when the server is booted. If you can activate it, her memories will be restored.
SuedouBut it won't be easy.
SuedouTo access the server externally, you'll need a team of highly skilled engineers.
SuedouIn that case, there is another way.
SuedouYou can infiltrate the sever directly from EDEN and activate the backup.
SuedouUsually, as the owner, only Erika is allowed to access the memory server. However, you're a Wormmon, aren't you?
SuedouI assume you and Erika share memories. What's more, your memories were unaffected when the memory server was shut down.
SuedouEssentially you are like another backup for Erika's memory.
SuedouYou might be able to access the server as if you were her.
SuedouI see no reason why that shouldn't be the case.
SuedouCorrect, but of course the server is equipped with security measures to prevent intruders.
SuedouThere's no guarantee you'll make it back.
SuedouThen please take my paper on memory servers. Read it before you try to gain access.
SuedouIt's nothing, really. My papers do nothing more than illustrate the underlying theory.
SuedouUnfortunately the cure for her disease is nowhere to be found in this world.
SuedouIf you want my personal opinion, I don't think you should restore her memory.
SuedouHeh... This is...fate. Let me explain.
SuedouThis world is about to change, drastically.
SuedouThe strange phenomenon affecting this world stems from a disaster in the Digital World.
SuedouIt has caused a major Digital Shift in the world, making it possible to artificially overwrite it.
SuedouEven if you do nothing, sadness will soon vanish, completely. I will remake the world.
SuedouOnce I have done so, all sadness will be gone, or, more accurately, the concept will no longer exist.
SuedouThe sadness that afflicts Erika Mishima will also disappear.
SuedouHehehe... I don't expect you to understand.
SuedouEven I'm not exactly sure what will happen once the world has been overwritten.
SuedouPut simply, once my plan succeeds, everything you've done...
Suedou...and everything you will do could become completely meaningless.
SuedouThat time has nearly come.
SuedouIf the world's about to change, what's the point of returning such painful memories to her?
SuedouJust let her sleep in peace. She's forgotten all the sadness.
SuedouSo? Do you still intend to wake her?
SuedouI see. And are you of the same opinion?
SuedouHehehe... There's no denying the strength of the human ego. It's what drives me, after all.
SuedouIf you've made up your mind, I wish you luck. Here's the server URL.
SuedouShe's in your hands now.
SuedouWhy run when they know its all pointless? Some things, I will never understand.
SuedouOr perhaps it's just human nature.
Suedou...
SuedouNow it's time for me to go. It's time to make my wish come true. Hehehe...

Hacker's Memory 443 HM 9 lines
SuedouOh? You want to use my paper in a new project?
SuedouIt's just a hypothesis. I have no idea what effect it could have on the human body.
SuedouTesting it out on a child...
SuedouThe risks are too high.
SuedouThen I have no objections. Use it as you see fit.
Suedou*sigh*
SuedouWho would have thought such a drastic step could be someone's only hope?
SuedouThere's so much sadness in this world.
SuedouI cannot allow it to continue. This world must be changed.

SuedouAs I've explained, a "Digital Wave" is energy used for transmitting digital information...
SuedouWe call it a wave, though in truth it is unknown whether waves or particles are transmitted. There is no way to confirm it visually, after all.
SuedouIf we really could see a Digital Wave, I wonder what it would look like... Heheh...
SuedouThere is a clear correlation between the white boy and the Eaters. Perhaps we should even consider the boy a "harbinger" of the Eaters.
SuedouThe full implications of this are unclear, but what cannot be questioned is that they are both digital entities. Data programmed using 0s and 1s.
SuedouAnd if so...a breakthrough shouldn't be far off. All we need is to analyze the data.
SuedouAh, you've heard of Nikola Tesla, I trust? He was as great a scientist as Edison.
SuedouBeyond breakthroughs in AC power, heat conduction, and fluorescent light, he delved into transmitting EM waves wirelessly... We all know of Tesla Coils.
SuedouTransmission of solid matter was tested--and proven--through the Philadelphia Experiment. ...Assuming it wasn't a hoax, at least.
SuedouHowever! If the high voltage generated in the experiment truly was able to create a rift in space-time, then such a result is a possibility!
SuedouAnd today, another uncanny phenomenon unfolds right before our eyes... Yes, those experimental results and this phenomenon are quite similar.
SuedouInvestigating that connection could be another interesting approach... Yes, this has all become quite intriguing! Hehe...
SuedouIndeed, the occurrence of Digital Shifts is related to the density of the Digital Wave.
SuedouWhen a "catalyst" is applied to locations where the Digital Wave is at its most dense, it digitally transitions, or "shifts."
SuedouThus, the term "Digital Shift."
SuedouYou know of the "immune system," yes? The body treats germs as "outsiders," fiercely resisting them. This makes external interference difficult.
SuedouThus, we find it takes a very long time for genes to change... Resistance acts as a throttle on the speed at which something can evolve.
Suedou...But I digress. What this means is that thanks to the human body's obstinacy, we see resistance even in abnormal environments such as this.
SuedouBut the cause of these people's conditions is a different matter. You see, when a soul is without a body...well, they just aren't very sturdy.
Suedou...Oh my. You'd like to return to Tokyo?
SuedouTsk, I suppose it cannot be helped... Do keep in mind that we have limited time.
SuedouThen, let's head for the Mother Eater. Yuugo has been waiting for some time.
