Omnimon (X Antibody)What is this place? This... is not our world.Dr. SimmonsNo, but I know this lab like the back of my hand... Looks like our world is next.
Asuna Shiroki"You want me to leave public safety with you?"
Dr. Simmons"Yes... I have some concerns about the organization, which I suspect you share."
Asuna Shiroki"I've already written my resignation. Ever since Captain Kuremi quit, I feel like things have gotten out of hand."
Asuna Shiroki"When he was still around, it felt like we had purpose... But I'm surprised to hear that you're leaving, too, Dr. Simmons."
Asuna Shiroki"I thought... Don't you see Digimon as enemies?"
Dr. Simmons"I did, until very recently. I believed preparing for the coming threat of the Digimon was the right thing to do."
Dr. Simmons"But depending on the situation, the right thing to do can change. Clinging to a single vision of justice is foolish."
Asuna Shiroki"...Which is exactly what the public safety office is doing right now."
Dr. Simmons"That's right. I see you're every bit as sharp as I suspected."
Dr. Simmons"That test subject Captain Kuremi's friend brought in... Aegiomon, I think it was?"
Dr. Simmons"That Digimon clearly had his own will, his own emotions. More importantly, he trusted the humans he was with."
Dr. Simmons"Seeing that caused me to reevaluate my understanding. Or, rather, you could say that those two taught me something."
Dr. Simmons"They showed me that Digimon and humans can understand one another."
Asuna Shiroki"Heh..."
Dr. Simmons"What's so funny?"
Asuna Shiroki"The wonders never cease. What you said just now didn't sound like data or facts. It sounded like a dream of yours."
Dr. Simmons"What is science for but to make people's hopes and dreams come true? I'm sure that's what Dr. Yuki would say."
Dr. Simmons"I... don't want to create instruments of war."
Jesmon (X Antibody)Instruments of war...? Did Digimon start a conflict in your world?Dr. SimmonsThey played a crucial role in the outbreak of one. That much is objective fact.
Dr. SimmonsBut please don't misunderstand. I don't blame Digimon at all.
Dr. SimmonsI believe we can find a way to coexist—
Magnamon (X Antibody)There is no perfect future where all can be happy and live in harmony.Magnamon (X Antibody)Such lies will save no one. It's just as I have been saying: selection is a necessity.Magnamon (X Antibody)There are too many unnecessary Digimon in this world... Your future is the result of that.Jesmon (X Antibody)We need the X Program, and with Parallelmon's ability, we can carry out the process of selection more efficiently.Omnimon (X Antibody)More efficiently...? What do you mean by that?Jesmon (X Antibody)We can isolate all lesser beings in another dimension. That will resolve everything.Omnimon (X Antibody)But that is absurd! How can you even consider such a monstrous "solution"...?!Magnamon (X Antibody)Apologies, but we aren't interested in a debate. If you wish to try and stop us by force, we won't hold back.Asuna ShirokiDoesn't seem like there's any common ground to be found, at all.
DorumonMaybe we won't be able to cooperate after all...Dr. SimmonsThat's what happens when folks get too fixated on one idea of what's right.
Dr. SimmonsThey talk of evolution, but the true meaning of that term involves adapting to fit an environment.
Dr. SimmonsFor those who insist they don't need to change, there can be no evolution.
