Pluto Volume 2 Act. 13 Mistaken Memories - Page 131 - Gesicht: You're Atom, aren't you? - Page 132 - Brau: (grrrr)(clunk) (beeep)(shuk) (crunch) Why don't we exchange my memory chip for yours? (br.. b-br..) (gweee)(shunk) Blood: (drip)(drip)(drip) - Page 133 - Brau: There were never any malfunctions. Old Man: It'll be 500 Zeus for each one. - Page 134 - Gesicht: (hahh)(hahh)(hahh) Act. 13 : Mistaken Memories - Page 135 - Reporter: The ocean floor around the site of the incident is an absolute mess of wreckage... Identified as pieces of Brando and the unidentifed object that attacked him. Also, due to mud build-up on the floor, workers are telling me that a complete retrieval will be impossible. Anchorman: Well, let's go live to Istanbul. Reporter: We're here at the Blue Mosque Coliseum. Many people are gathered here to mourn the death of their hero, Brando. The casket is silently moving forward. - Page 136 - Reporter: We're told that Brando's everyday-use body, found near the scene of his death, has been placed inside the casket. Kids: DADDY!! DADDY!! DADDY!! Gesicht: Turn it off. Wife: Oh. All right. - Page 137 - Wife: Don't blame yourself... I don't think there was anything you could do... Gesicht: Hey... Wife: Yes? Gesicht: Let's go on that vacation. Wife: Can you get the time off? Gesicht: Yeah. I've still got other cases to handle... But for now, they're closing the book on the robot attacks. Wife: Well, if you think it will help raise our spirits... - Page 138 - Gesicht: It will. I was just in Japan on business, it's a nice place. But I didn't see much of it. I was hoping to visit again, with you. Button: (vwum) Woman: This is Marco Polo Tourism. Gesicht: I'm Gesicht. I was considering a vacation some time ago... Woman: Yes, to Japan, correct? Gesicht: I'd like to apply for that now. Is that all right? Woman: Very well. - Page 139 - Woman: Will this be a trip for two, with your wife? Gesicht: Yes. Oh... right. My wife hasn't registered yet. I'll go call her. Woman: We already have your wife in our registry... Gesicht: Huh...? But she's never been out of the European Federation... Woman: You both had registered previously, and then cancelled. Gesicht: Cancelled...? We did...? When...? - Page 140 - Woman: Two years ago. It was also a trip to Japan... Gesicht: Two years ago? Japan...? Wife: I don't remember, either. Gesicht: What does that mean... Two years ago...? Wife: Could it be a procedural error? - Page 141 - Gesicht: Two years ago is when I went with you to Spain for Europol training... Wife: Yes, we were in Spain for an entire year. We took so many photos... Hologram: (vwummm) Gesicht: Oh yeah... that was the Church of the Holy Family. They still haven't completed it. I wonder when it will be done? - Page 142 - Wife: And wasn't this Andalusia? Gesicht: Yes. A field of sunflowers, stretching as far as the eye could see. Haha, that reminds me. This was when you tripped and fell, so I couldn't see you for all the flowers... Wife: Oh yes, and you got so worried you even used your GPS to find me. Gesicht: Hahaha. We sure took a lot of pictures. - Page 143 - Wife: Too many...? Gesicht: You're right, we don't take this many pictures, even imitating humans... Wife: Also... If it was supposed to be training, why are we relaxing so much? - Page 144 - Wife: As a detective, you've been working virtually non-stop... Gesicht: It was fun... Wife: Yes... very much so... Gesicht: And yet we tried to go to Japan... - Page 145 - Machine: (vweeen)(vweeen) Hoffman: All done, Gesicht. No problems to be found. Gesicht: Thank you, Dr. Hoffman. Hoffman: You've still got some time before your scheduled maintenance... But you said you needed a check-up, so I thought there might be something wrong... But the data say everything is correct. - Page 146 - Hoffman: As I said before, I think it's fatigue. You shouldn't let what happened to Brando get to you. Human memory is a handy thing. We have the function to forget. It's too hard to go on living with a mind full of painful memories. ...that's why we forget. But it doesn't work that way for robots. Your memories will always remain fresh. Your only option is to delete. - Page 147 - Gesicht: Has my memory ever been erased before? Hoffman: No, not that it says here. Sometimes it can be deleted when a bug occurs inside the system memory, but your A.I. has no problems. Gesicht: And what if a memory that is different from the truth is inputted...? Hoffman: Memory different from the truth...? You mean, input false memories? Well, that does happen at some remedial facilities, but robots have rights, now. Why do you ask that? - Page 148 - Gesicht: What if someone were to erase my memories, and insert false memories in their place...? And what if that was the source of my nightmares? Hoffman: That's an interesting theory... - Page 149 - [Europol, German Branch] Schelling: I've got a meeting to attend. Can this wait? Hoffman: I've finally figured it out. Will you please listen, Chief Schelling? Schelling: Make it short. Hoffman: Thank you. In that case... Have you done anything to Agent Gesicht's memory? - Page 150 - Schelling: (click)(click) Hoffman: Please, Chief!! Schelling: How many high-performance robots like Gesicht are left in the world? Hoffman: Huh? Schelling: How many robots were made that had the capacity to be weapons of mass destruction? Hoffman: There were seven in all. Why do you ask? Schelling: Yes... And right after they were completed, the United Nations passed a ban on their manufacture. - Page 151 - Schelling: At the insistance of the United States of Thracia. Hoffman: What does that have to do with this?! Schelling: The Kingdom of Persia was utterly destroyed for breaking that agreement. Hoffman: Chief!! Schelling: It was those seven robots who ended that war. They preserved the world's balance of power. - Page 152 - Schelling: And out of those seven robots, three... Montblanc, North #2, Brando have been destroyed... And now there are... Hoffman: Two in Europe... Two in the Pacific Rim... Schelling: Correct. One of those is Gesicht. Hoffman: Chief!! That doesn't answer my question. Did you do something to him?! To his A.I... - Page 153 - Schelling: There is a huge amount of money invested in him. All you need to do is his maintenance, Dr. Hoffman. That is all. (click)(click) Hoffman: Chief!! - Page 154 - Hoffman: What did you do to Gesicht?! What are you hiding?! - Act. 13 End -
