Chief Secretary

[Chief Secretary]

....

The chairman has waited for a long time.

I as well.

Are you taken aback?

So have I. I did not think people's lives to be tied together as so.

Anyway that young lady...

.. has a good strong attitude.

True.

Please speak.

I will wait.

I see it is my turn again.

I will formally introduce you.

The last survivor of Verus City, Tatio.W.00H-1.

Simply call him Tatio.

[Tatio]

Not revealing the contents of the Memory Records by the corporation.

Attacking you at Juperos was all because I wanted to.

To tell you this I have no choice but to reveal my identity.

I have prepared for this but.. it does not feel great.

Everybody seems frozen by the massive news.

I am the Tatio in the Memory Records you have discovered.

And Atnad is Lasse Atnad, the great-grandfather of Dr. Atnad.

Lasse is one of the people who made me, and a friend.

I wanted to protect Verus, which is home to my undead machine body...

I have committed that discourtesy that the time.

And on top of that, I had a hand on hiding what the doctor saw........

I manipulated his memory a bit.

That is why you have that one week gap.

I took care of you for four days and sent you to the motel in Juno.

I would not have done that if I knew you were a descendant of Lasse.

Verus city a long.. long. Time ago was once side by side with Juperos..

No surpassed it as a great city of science with a scientific civilization.

Although an unfortunate accident turned it the way it is now.

I did not die because I was made of machines so I just watched over Verus.

[Ian Atnad]

This story. Does the chairman know?

Wait. He already knows I bet. Isn't that why he called us here.

That is right.

The chairman knows of me and the Verus City secrets.

Only two in the whole world knew of this secret.

Ah, No. One of the founders, Janet Zerter knows of this as well.

Also one of the descendants of Verus City.

.....Do you now understand my previous proposal?

Oh oh well...

Although open, Verus City is still something you want to protect ..I see.

That is why the Memory Records...

Then this doesn't apply to the other data in the city?

You're trying to hide it to prevent your's and my name being revealed and becoming a public issue, right?

The quantum level core technology unsuitable for this world's civilization has already been discarded.

Just like how lethal weapons are not put in the hands of children.

Although most of the data has been lost by accident...

You will probably gain plenty with what is now remaining.

Why did you reveal it?

Should have wrapped it tightly instead.

Like you did to me.

..To be honest, the first reason is that I could not easily approach the laboratories because of the energy storms during the time

And because although I do not know the reason the energy storms disappeared and

I assessed it as not being too dangerous.

The right time to reveal it has came.

This place has also come to understand what is science and engineering.

.. Something is doubtful, but okay.

I guess I should be satisfied at even having this kind of opportunity.

I thank you for understanding.

I will give you sole rights to the Memory Records.

However the revealing of information and timing must be decided here.

And... In order to avoid affecting our descendants

we should keep it a secret between us as well.

I understand that.

Then I will handle the collecting of the Memory Records as I have been until now.

I will decide to report directly or not through you.

That is it, right?

In reality there is not much change to the actual work.

Ah also...

For working diligently as a member of the Atnad excavation team..

The contents of the Memory Records are precious memories to me.

...It is like going through my diary. So I hope you take care in the future.

...I hope everything goes smoothly with this...
