We decided to save the report to Uncle for tomorrow, and rest at the
mansion today. I guess I might as well head back to my room and take a nap.
I was in my room, thinking about what it would be like to die, when Kitten
came in. Apparently she'd heard from Lunar that I was going to disappear. That
Lunar, of all things to babble about... Kitten's the one person I didn't want
knowing about it.
Kitten told me not to keep anything from her anymore. Yeah, I guess. Now
that she's learned my biggest secret, I don't have anything...well, only one
thing to hide from her.
Thanks, Kitten.
The next morning, I was feeling just a little better. It's odd... I feel
bad for making others share my pain, but at the same time it makes my own
feelings lighter.
Anyway, I guess I ought to head out and report to Uncle. Everyone's
probably waiting in the drawing room...let's stop there first.
When I entered the drawing room, a messenger from the castle had just
arrived, reporting that the New Order of Sol had sent an emissary. Here
they come at last... Father headed for the castle--let's follow him.
The emissary from the New Order of Sol was Orca. Uncle refused the
New Order's demands. There's no turning back now.
After Orca left, Uncle told me and Gwen to see him in his room later.
It sounds like he's decided to tell her the truth. It'll be tough, Gwen,
but hang in there!
When Gwen learned the truth about her father, she ran off to question
Orca. We can't just leave her alone--let's follow her.
Gwen had caught up with Orca at the port. There, we heard from Orca
why he joined the God-Generals. He had lost his wife and daughter because of
the Score, and had come to hate the Score for that. And, he said, the Score
holds the planet's memory--the record of the entire life of the planet, from
its creation through its destruction--a memory which all life on the planet
is destined to follow. Orca had refused to accept that.
He also said our methods were insufficient. As long as the planet's memory
exists, any choice we make will eventually lead to the same place. The Score
is that absolute.
I finally understand why Master Kyo is taking such an extreme course of
action.
The originals are limited by the planet's memory, so he wants to create a
new human race, the replicas, which will truly be free. That's the world that
Master Kyo desires.
Gwen looked depressed, and the rest of us were shocked by the new truth
we learned about the Score. At any rate, Uncle is probably worried about
Gwen, so let's head back to the castle.
Uncle told Gwen that she didn't have to go out and fight anymore. The
summit on the Score had concluded safely--there was no reason for a father
and daughter connected by blood to fight each other.
But Gwen decided to come with us, and think about how to face Orca on
the way. Uncle accepted her decision as well.
So the next thing we'll need to do is stop the Planet Storm. But we don't
even know how the Planet Storm works, so let's stop by Crystal City, where
there should be some records about it. Vyers should be able to help us.
