Fisherman: Oh…Ah…Hi Serge…I was lost in my thoughts there. You know how Kiki’s growing up so
quickly? Sometimes, I’m just amazed at how much she resembles her mother. Yeah…I guess my
wife is like that, too. She’s been very much like her mother since as long as I can remember…
I guess that demonstrates how life continues to live on through generations. It’s been about
10 years since I became a fisherman. Back then, I still had other aspirations, but I ended up
succeeding my dad. I guess you can say, everything here represents 10 years of my life.
Lion sharks, sawfish, 6-horned narwhales, you name it…They represent all my hard work and
dedication. I love my job, and I’m happy with my current lifestyle and all…but lately, I get
to thinking when I see Kiki…About how I could’ve had a different future…If I had chosen a
different path 10 years ago…Then I’d be living a completely different life than I am now.
I’m not saying which one wouldn’t been better…But I just wonder where the other path may have
led me…I guess the longer you live, the more you wonder about another “you” that might have
been. Boy…Life sure is complex…OH! Hey, Serge, you want this? Here, take it. It’s an
amulet I made from a lion shark tooth 10 years ago, when I decided to become a fisherman!
I don’t need it anymore. I have my wife a Kiki watching over me.
Das ist toll! Hier denkt ein NPC darüber nach, was passiert wäre, hätte er sich einer anderen Zukunft ergeben. Das sind Gedanken, die bestimmt jeder Mensch, der denken kann, mal verfolgt hat. Und intensiviert wird das ganze noch einmal, spricht man eben mit der alternativen Version des Fischers.
Der Spieler wird zum nachdenken über dieses Thema ermutigt, ermutigt darüber, über sein Leben nachzudenken. Den richtigen Pfad zu finden... wenn überhaupt ist das in anderen RPGs das Problem der PCs, hier aber ist es nur ein kleiner NPC in einer großen Welt voll von denkenden Wesen.

Miguel: Yes... I've been here in this very place... For 14 years... It wasn't like this
when I got here, though... An incident that occured 10 years ago, transformed it into the
Dead Sea. Don't you know...? There's nothing in the world as ruthless or impartial as
death. All living matter ages over time and eventually dies... No matter how mighty or
tiny its life force... So being alive means you're creeping closer to death with every
second... But there's none of that here. No one and nothing ages. Nothing wastes away.
This quiet, boundless, and beautiful world... An ideal world, straight out of a fairy
tale, isn't it? A place and time that belongs to no one... Res nullius... It's because
this is a future that was eliminated!!! History is composed of choices and divergences.
Each choice you make creates a new world and brings forth a new future. But at the same
time, you're eliminating a different future with the choices you didn't make. A future
denied of all existence because of a change in the past... A future that was destroyed
even before it was born rests here... condensed into the Dead Sea.
Dies sagt Miguel. Und wow, ist dieser Monolog intensiv. Einerseits durch die Atmosphäre (insbesondere die Musik) und auch durch dieses Script. Da steckt so viel drin...

Ghost: Perhaps what we are doing is wrong? If this experiment succeeds, we will be able
to control time. We will have complete control over history, and in a sense, become
a presence, much like god... If so, what meaning is there to the history of mankind?
But it's too late, now... We can't afford to fail in this experiment. If, for some
reason, anything goes wrong, the banti-annihilation energy will probably overwhelm us.
Who knows what the consequences may be?
Ghost: The DNA records are poems and music... Adenine and Thymine... Guanine and Cytosine...
Rythym and Melody... Perhaps the DNA of the ones who made contact with the Flame is
recomposed by the sound they generate within? I wonder if life-forms are just dreaming in
and endless flow of music?
Da philosophieren NPCs über die Story des Spiels. Geht es noch besser?
---------------------------------------
Schala: I have been waiting an eternity... just for this very moment... Meaninglessly
hurting one another... The disappearing life-forms... The words that become delted...
The thoughts that become buried... The pool of cells that slowly evaporate... The
echoes of consciousness that slowly fade... Love to hate... Hate to love... Why are we
born? Why do we die? Evolution? The "survival of the fittest?" What is there to be achieved
from harming one another... killing one another... The "eggs" that we call planets... And the
innumerable "spermatoza" which gather around these that we call life-forms... When one
of those countless seeds inseminates a planet, a new universe is born. But until that occurs,
hundreds of millions of years will pass, and innumerable life-forms will be born, then die...
That is the be-all and end-all. Everything exists for that one moment. All so that the universe
can evolve into the next dimension... Does that make us all just pawns? Are each of our short
lives nothing but a cheap sacrifice just so the one chosen life-form can be born? No. That is
not the case! Each and every one of us has a chance of becoming that one chosen life-form
which inseminates a planet. Yes, it could be "you"... Genes and enviroment... Each of us
tries to do his best under the limited conditions we are each dealt. Each life-form that
attempts to eke out a decent life for itself forms a link in the golden chain that leads to
the creation of a new universe. If one link is missing, there will be no future. There is no
such thing as a useless life-form... No such thing as a pawn! Every single thing in the whole
of nature is perhaps just dreaming a dream of "life"... All of them are also perhaps nothing
more than a dream dreamt by the planet before it is born. Oh, but yes... Eventually all dreams
will return to Zurvan... to the sea of dreams...
Das Ending. Muss ich das noch weiter ausführen?
