ALBEDO: Well, just play along! I got a bet riding on you, too! I'll show Voyager up yet! Then Ziggy will owe me.
**ALBEDO picks up his clothes and leaves.
CHAOS: What was that al... nevermind. Nephilim will tell me later.
MIYUKI: Nephilim?
CHAOS: Oops. [wiggles fingers in MIYUKI's direction] You never heard that.
MIYUKI: [blank] Heard what?
CHAOS: [kisses her on the cheek] That's my girl.
JR: [scoff] Women's Tao?
CHAOS: What rubbish is that? (?)
GAIGNUN: Good rubbish. It worked on Shion.
**JUNIOR and SHION laugh. Although SHION does this nervously.
GAIGNUN: [nervous] Well... did it? Tell me.
SHION: Er. Only girls can do it.
JR: I said no take-backs.
SHION: [angered] Take-back this!
**SHION picks up and throws a coffee mug in JUNIOR's direction. Just at that moment, WILHELM entered the kitchen and catches it with one hand.
WILHELM: [scolding] Shion! I'm dissapointed in you. It's bad enough we had coffee swiped out of our hands, and a naked man serving it.
JR: [defiant] I saved your life!
SHION: B-boss! It's not what it looks like.
WILHELM: Oh? It sure looked like you were chugging mugs at your man. One of them, anyway.
SHION/JUNIOR: [stunned] My man? My man?!
WILHELM: I know. It surprised me, too. I guess his fanbase wasn't too far off. [to ALLEN] Allen. You shouldn't be with this girl. Oh, and neither should you, Miyuki.
MIYUKI: But I'm not-
MOMO: We heard everything.
MARY: Junior! How could you?!
JR: Quiet, you're not my wife.
MARY: She isn't either! ...And you're pregnant?!
JR: [scream] Oh my god!
WILHELM: Mary, don't be silly. It's the other way around. Junior may have got something from her, though. Like a cold.
SHION: [reflex] From Allen!
ALLEN: What?!
WILHELM: Your fault.
MARY: Ha, ha! [ponts to JUNIOR] You all caught the stupid from Allen!
JR: Oh, yeah? Well, you're gonna get it from me if I have a say in it.
**MARY's dumbfounded. She runs.
JR: Yeah, I'm gonna get you!
WILHELM: I hope you don't take habit to harassing your employees.
JR: At least I don't kill them.
MARY (V.O.): I'd rather die!
ALBEDO (V.O.): That could be arranged. Hahaha!!
SHION: All I did was go to Junior's to eat cherry vanilla mochi!
ALLEN: [screaming] Code! It's code!!
WILHELM: Cherry vanilla! We aren’t that stupid! We're all adults here. We know what that means!
MOMO: Why the cherry, though? [suspicious] Am I involved, somehow?
WILHELM: You forget. You're a peach. Momo means peach.
MOMO: [sheepish] Oh... I forget. My sister, you know. Her name was Sakura.
[Silence]
SHION: But, but, but but... [meekly] it's my favorite.
JR: I can vouch. She eats it whenever she's sad.
ALLEN: Well, you must have depressed her.
MIYUKI: [giggling] Yeah, Junior. You're no Albedo.
JR: Shut up damn it!
GAIGNUN: This is all a big misunderstanding, Sir.
WILHELM: I don't care to hear it. We all had enough for the night.
**SHION's house begins to empty.
WILHELM: Well, assuming that you're feeling well, I'll see all three of you in the morning.
MIYUKI: Yea... bye.
**WILHELM exits, followed by MIYUKI, MOMO, ALLEN, and eventually CHAOS. He leaves with an apologizing shrug.
SHION: This just didn't happen to me.
GAIGNUN: It did.
SHION: I need some mochi.
**WILHELM returns.
WILHELM: Can you at least wait til I leave? I'm taking this mug of coffee on the table, here. I'm going need it.
**WILHELM exits again, taking a long swig of the coffee.
GAIGNUN: I need some mochi, too...
**ALBEDO returns, fully clothed.
ALBEDO: I'm off the phone now. Wow, the coffee was sure a hit. It's all gone.
SHION: If there's any luck for me, boss'll be dead by morning.
ALBEDO: Silly woman. Cow milk doesn't kill. Hahahaha
JR: You're calling yourself a cow, now?!
ALBEDO: According to the magazines, I am. Sad society. Look how anorexic I'm looking. And they call it fat. Sad world, I'm telling you. [claps hands together] Why all the sad faces?! I got money to roll in. You mentioned mochi. You ladies need some mochi. I'll buy. It's all on me. Shion just made me rich, it's the least I can do. Hehehehe
GAIGNUN: I'm not depressed.
ALBEDO: Sure you are.
SHION: I already have three boxes! What you can do is kill Allen.
ALBEDO: You mad, woman?! I wouldn't get near that emotional thing. Killing him would be mercy. I don't do mercy. You already know this. Besides, three boxes isn't going to help you. You need a bucket… a bucket of ice cream! Now let's go.
**Reluctantly, everyone follows ALBEDO out the door.
[ELSA DINER AND COFFEE HOUSE- table -NIGHT]
KOS-MOS: There's a 85% chance you're joking, Albedo.
ALBEDO: Joking not! Three of those buckets of ice cream there. We're depressed!
GAIGNUN: I'm not depressed.
ALBEDO: Yea, you're just emotional. Get a sweater to cry on. Hahaha! Oh, and a kiddie box for Rubedo here. Hahahaha!
JR: Gimme a bucket damn it!
KOS-MOS: Albedo, I will allow the purchase of three buckets of ice cream. However, because of your build I doubt you can consume a bucket of ice cream, Gaignun Kukai Junior.
JR: You'd be surprised.
KOS-MOS: I am not taking that chance. There's a 75% risk. I could have a lawsuit on my hands. I am sorry. [to Albedo] By your manner, I assume money is no objection?
ALBEDO: [grinning] Nope. Lay it on me!
GAIGNUN: Not literally.
KOS-MOS: I understand he's not to be taken literally, Gaignun Kukai. I will be right back. Which flavors would you prefer?
ALBEDO: Uh, coffee.
GAIGNUN: Vanilla.
JR: Bubble gum sherbet.
ALBEDO: How childish!
JR: Shut up!
SHION: ...Cherry vanilla.
KOS-MOS: I will be right back. [leaves]
JR: After all that, you'd still eat cherry vanilla flavoured anything?!
SHION: I can't help it! It's my favorite!
ALBEDO: Whoo boy. I suggest you get a new favorite. When people hear those two words in the same sentence... [makes a pow sound] misunderstanding.
GAIGNUN: There's too much slang out there. Anything can mean anything.
ALL: Hear, hear.
JR.: Like, bang. It used to be the sound for a gun.
SHION: Or 69…..
ALBEDO: No, that's a pretty old one. Since the sixties, at least. Or the Cesear. I think he coined it or something. (?)
SHION: [frusterated] I wouldn't know!
ALBEDO: If your choice of ice cream is any indication, you shouldn't.
**SHION growls. KOS-MOS returns with three buckets balanced on one arm, and a small box for JUNIOR. She passes them out, and goes back to work. Everyone begins to dig in. Especially Albedo. Literally. With his hands.
JR: Damn! I wanted a bucket!! Albedo, I demand you give me some of yours.
GAIGNUN: [to JUNIOR] Coffee flavor. You sure of that?
ALBEDO: No, Rube. Grow a few inches, and hair on your chin. Which is never! Hahaha! And as for you, Nigredo, stick your hands in your ice cream. It's the only way to enjoy it.
GAIGNUN: I knew you've been talking to him, Junior. No!
JR: Shut up! You forget who's older than you by a mere 10 seconds!
ALBEDO: As long as you look like that, who cares?
JR.: GOD DAMMIT!
SHION: [muffled] Will all of you shut up… please?
**Everyone turns to see that SHION has stuck her entire head in the bucket.
JR: You're gonna die! Suffocate! Get out of there!
SHION: [muffled] No. [chewing sounds] I don't care.
ALBEDO: What are you doing! The night is young! You can't die yet!
GAIGNUN: Yet?!
ALBEDO: She can die after I buy her a gold-lined noose. Or at least a new oven to stick her head in. I'd be ashamed to put my head in that thing. Or food.
JR: Albedo, you're insane. And it's three in the morning.
SHION: [muffled] For crying out loud, it's night! It's dark out! [chewing sounds] Dark as my soul!
JR: [raps SHION's bucket with a spoon] Come out of your bucket and say that.
GAIGNUN: You're still arguing about that?! Maybe you should marry. Seriously…
**SHION says nothing. JR pouts. KOS-MOS passes over the table.
KOS-MOS: Shion Uzuki, is something the matter?
ALBEDO: You have to excuse her. That time of the month. You know how the chant goes.
KOS-MOS: [squints at SHION] You are correct. It is best to leave her alone.
ALBEDO: Check that! Lucky guess. Women's Tao, works
SHION: Aiiyaaa!
ALBEDO: Come out of that bucket and say that!
KOS-MOS: But that isn't the only reason.
JR: What, you double as an observational Realian?
KOS-MOS: I am equipped with observational technologies usually reserved for the 100-Series, yes.
ALBEDO: Oh, nothing big. She slept with Allen. Rubedo, too.
JR: Did not!
ALBEDO: And I'd like to see how many people believe it. I have another bet going on. Kevin's house is mine! Anyway. You should be with MOMO, anyway. Jailbait should date jailbait.
**JUNIOR throws his box of ice cream at ALBEDO, who catches it.
ALBEDO: [laugh] More for me, sucker. Thanks. Hahahaha
JR: I hope your head gets blown off from it!
ALBEDO: Trivial. It'll just grow back, stupid. Hahahaha!
KOS-MOS: My emotional response is to vomit in the lavatory. Please excuse me. [leaves]
SHION: [muffled] Why did I ever program that?
ALBEDO: Because you're stupid? Oh, Rubedo dear, catch.
**Without warning, the coffeepot KOS-MOS left behind is thrown at JUNIOR. He doesn't catch it, and it spills all over him.
JR: Damn it, Albedo!
ALBEDO: [disapproving] That's also why I could beat Nigredo. Both of you are too slow. Shion's the only fast one here. Sad.
SHION: [muffled] I can still hear you! (?)
ALBEDO: [ignoring her] Yes, that really isn't good for you. Lay off the salmon. Fattening junk.
The end
[KOS-MOS appears one the last page as a "soup nazi"]
KOS-MOS: ROAR. [throws a spoon] NO SOUP FOR YOU.

Jin: And, you say you want to help them?
Shion: Yeah.
Jin: I can't understand that. Isn’t Little Master a professional in that field? It's not
something that an amateur should stick her nose into.
Shion: An amateur? I've been quite helpful to him! Right?
Jin: Well, anyway, rest up today and tomorrow we can go visit Father and
Mother's graves.
Shion: Brother, wait! That again? How many times have I told you I'm not going
there? I hate it. I never want to go.
Jin: Even if you say that, it's your duty as a child to at least put one flower
before your parents' graves...
Shion: Stop it! And what do you mean, "before their graves". Father and Mother
aren't even in that cemetery! You know where the two of them are, don't you?
Yes, the only ones there then were me and you! If you... If you had only come a
little earlier!! Father and Mother would...! ...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
I... (gets up) But, I still don't want to go to the cemetery... (walks out)
(The rest of them walk into another room)
Jr.: W-well, I'd better get going... It's about time there...
Jin: I am sorry for showing you something so embarrassing.
Jr.: Oh, don't be... Is it all right?
Jin: Do not worry. We are brother and sister of the same blood.
chaos: Sorry, would you mind if I stayed? Of course, only if you would not mind.
Jin: I don't mind at all. Please stay over. Shion will surely be pleased as
well.
Jr.: All right. Don't worry about us. MOMO's analysis is tomorrow, so just come
back in time for that.
chaos: All right. Thanks.
(Jr. leaves; next scene is Jin outside at night)
chaos: You're out here?
Jin: It's a nice voice, isn't it? Whenever I can't sleep, here always relaxes
me.
chaos: Is it about Shion?
Jin: Yes. Well, it's been two years... I still thought she was a kid, for some
reason. I think she gets that personality from her grandfather.
(A moth burns itself on the candle)
Jin: So, what did you want to ask? You're here because you want to talk, yes?
chaos: Well, Jin... I was wondering if you... The U-TIC Foundation...
Jin: It's about that incident, is it... 14 years... It was so long ago, but it
seems like something we did yesterday. Anyway it seems to be a spell from which
I cannot escape. Did I bring it upon myself? The hunter-gatherers of mankind who
started that history, soon they discovered how to manipulate fire. From there
they took up blades. A consciousness reaching toward the future, with time, is
also changing it. When they started making offerings to gods, those people acted
having forgoten the existence of their origins. If you think about it, we humans
may be fluttering into the candlelight, just like moths [actually leaf-beetles],
without knowing the end waiting for us there. (blocks the moth from the candle
and it flies away)
chaos: Jin...
Jin: I'm sorry to have bothered you with all of this. She's an awkward little
sister, but please continue to take care of her for me.
chaos: It's not...
Jin: I could not be by her side for that "most painful time". And now, I still
cannot be close for her. I must be scared. If I try to be any closer to her, she
may not accept me as her own family, as her own brother. I am afraid of that.
chaos: Shion mentions your name in any context. I think that means she cares for
you. That's what I think it means.
Jin: ...And then, she suffixes it with, "my worthless brother", right?
chaos: Well, sometimes...
Jin: But, it's strange... I feel like I can talk to you about anything. Like
you're much more mature than I, like you've lived hundreds of years. That's the
feeling I get from you.
chaos: Nah, it's just my relaxed nature. That's why Jr.'s always saying to me,
"You're slow, idiot!" (They laugh.)
(Morning at the Uzukis')
Shion: Sorry to keep you waiting!
chaos: You have a very different atmosphere when you're out of uniform.
Shion: Really? Do I look weird?
chaos: Not at all. It looks good on you.
Shion: Thanks.
chaos: Is it all right to leave without saying anything to your brother?
Shion: It's okay. Because of what happened yesterday, I wouldn't even know what
to say if I saw him. Anyway, I'm sorry that I can't come with you to MOMO's
analysis. I'm pretty busy too; I can't just leave Allen on his own, and I'm
worried about KOS-MOS.
chaos: It's all right, there's no need to worry. The analysis itself won't be
that difficult, and everyone from the Foundation will be helping.
Shion: Tell MOMO to do her best for me.
chaos: Okay, I will. See you. (leaves)
__1.2.11: U.M.N. Administrative Center__
Gaignun: (She) should be arriving soon.
Jr.: But, meeting with a specialist member of the subcommittee...
Gaignun: That just shows how important it is. To the subcommittee, and to her.
MOMO: Mama?
Juli Mizrahi: It's been a while.
Gaignun: I'm glad to see you are well.
Mizrahi: I'm very grateful for your efforts in the Proto Merkabah incident.
Allow me to offer my thanks as a representative of the subcommittee as well.
Ziggy: MOMO played a major part as well. Her work was excellent.
Juli: I see. Good work, MOMO.
MOMO (brimming with excitement): Mom!!
Mizrahi (walking past MOMO): I'd like to sort out some materials. If you could
arrange for a room where I can get organized, I'd be thankful.
Jr.: Keh….
Mizrahi: MOMO.
MOMO: Yes!
Mizrahi: Once this business settles down... Wouldn't it be nice to live
together?
(MOMO barely squeaks out a noise of agreement. Mizrahi and Jr. leave.)
Ziggy: That's good.
MOMO: Yes.
Shelley (appearing): Now, MOMO-chan, come this way.
MOMO: Yes!
[some gameplay]
(Jr. approaches Mizrahi as she is working)
Jr.: Ms. Juli... What's going on?
Mizrahi: With what?
Jr.: With you suddenly saying nice things to MOMO, yeah?
Mizrahi: Is it unnatural? Joachim designed that realien to evoke motivation from
familial warmth, correct? If so, then in order for this research to go smoothly,
isn't fulfilling that parameter required as my professional duty?
Jr.: I knew it, it's just for your work. If you keep acting like such a cold
person, you'll end up being the one who gets hurt…you know.
Mizrahi: The one who made that realien was Joachim. I'm scared of it.
Jr.: I don't know what kind of person Joachim Mizrahi was. I don't know what
purpose he had in creating the 100-Type. But, I have a promise with Sakura.
Mizrahi: with Sakura?
Jr.: So I plan to treat her appropriately as the child she appears to be.
Mizrahi: What kind of promise do you have?
Jr.: She said, "protect my mom and my little sister". Ms. Juli, laugh again.
Sakura would have wanted you to.
(chaos walks in, and Mizrahi leaves)
chaos: Was I interrupting something?
Jr.: No, nothing! But, is Shion all right?
chaos: Yeah, I don't think there's any need to worry. That family just seems to
be complicated.
Jr.: Pretty complicated... Well, I guess I can't really say anything about
that.
[gameplay]
(Mizrahi wakes up Ziggy in his chair)
Mizrahi: How are you feeling?
Ziggy: Professor Mizrahi!
Mizrahi: MOMO asked me to come. "Mom, you're a famous scientist, so you should
know a lot about cybernetics, right?"
Ziggy: But... my tuning...
Mizrahi: I'm not a young woman. Don't worry. "Famous scientist"? If you ask me
I'm more "infamous".
Ziggy: You seem uncomfortable with MOMO. Why?
Mizrahi: Can I love a thing that looks like my daughter, but is not my
daughter?
Ziggy: That is a difficult question.
Mizrahi: Even if she looks just like my daughter, her spirit will not return.
100 Types all around the star cluster, looking like that, just keep painfully
reminding me of her death.
Ziggy: The one who made them look that way, was your husband?
Mizrahi: Yes... Do you have any children?
Ziggy: One son. He was a very energetic and intelligent child, but he died in
an accident.
Mizrahi: I'm sorry. Is that the reason you committed suicide?
Ziggy: Yes, it is.
Mizrahi: Perhaps, when my daughter died, I should have done so as well. But the
places that should have held sadness, were filled up by anger at my husband.
Ziggy: Maybe you are just a strong person.
Mizrahi: No, I am just wicked.
Ziggy: Professor Mizrahi. This is my personal opinion, but, is it possible for
you to think that you had two daughters?
Mizrahi: What do you mean?
Ziggy: One has died, and one is still alive.
Mizrahi: Are you telling me to treat MOMO not as just a copy of my daughter, but
as an individual person? You bring up such a difficult subject!
Ziggy: Please consider it.
Mizrahi: I will think about it. I had better be going.
Ziggy: Thank you for the tuning.
Mizrahi (leaving): You are welcome.
Ziggy (trying out his hand-mechanisms): Why don't you come in? I said that
eavesdropping is a bad hobby.
(Jr. and chaos enter)
Jr.: Ah, we didn't intend anything bad by it. But hey pops, I really can't pin
you down!
Ziggy: What do you mean. I don't understand what you are saying.
Jr.: Hmph! You’re brainless!
Ziggy: More importantly, I think it is almost time for MOMO's analysis. People
with responsibilities should not be hanging around here.
Jr.: Shit. We'd better hurry up and get back.
[gameplay]
(In the lab, MOMO is standing in a circle of lights)
Mary: No need to be nervous, MOMO! This is all just preliminary preparations
for the analysis.
MOMO: Yes. I'll do my best. (Ziggy nods to her) MOMO is a self-tuning type, so
MOMO has always performed tuning while in bed. Receiving tuning like this makes
me feel like Ziggy.
Ziggy: It's all right. You don't need to be scared.
100-Type: For the analysis, I will be shutting down your personality
simulation function. Simultaneously, your emotion display function and your
abstract recognition function will be shut down. Please do not worry.
MOMO: [something; kiji?] emotion...
100-Type: Personality simulation is a completely personal option, so it has no
effect on the observational function.
MOMO (thinking): MOMO's heart is... just an optional function?
Ziggy: MOMO...
(Their hands reach out to each other)
100-Type: Personality layer, sleep mode complete. Shutting down function.
MOMO: Ah-- (goes limp)
(Ziggy closes his eyes and Mary keeps typing. Fade out. Fade back in on the
group watching from the next room.)
Helmar: How is she doing?
Mary: MOMO's analysis preparations don't seem to be making much progress. Not
only are there difficult barriers, but because of the hacking that occured,
some routes have been damaged.
Jr.: Hmm... Her personality layer is shut down right now, yeah?
Mary: Yes. I feel like we are doing something terrible; my heart hurts. On Old
Miltia 10 years ago… when we were prescribed medication, I felt empty inside. I hated it.
Jr.: Right… I remember… sorry… I couldn’t…
Mary: It’s alright. I know you tried everything you could. Even we bold, human-like creatures feel that way. If we're told our
heart is something like a lie, I think it'd really hurt us.
Jr.: Our hearts could just be toys created by God. (Makes to leave)
Shelley: Little Master. Is it acceptable for you not to be present?
Jr.: It’s like 10 years ago... I’m going to go lay down. I'm nervous..
Shelley: Little Master.
Jr.: Because I'm a coward...
(Jr. Leaves. Fade out. Fade back in on the procedure continuing.)
100-Type: [Technobabble and countdown]
Mary: Just a little longer, MOMO. The pain will be over soon. When it's over,
let's go play somewhere fun.
100-Type: Final barrier pattern decoded. Releasing all protection.
Mary: MOMO?
MOMO (struggling to speak): ...No!
Mary: MOMO, what is it? Are you trying to say something?
MOMO: This... is... a... trap!
(The 100-Types collapse)
Shelley: This...?
Guy: High levels of interference from an invisible region on the high-speed
channel.
Mizrahi: Defensive logic 68% destroyed. Emergency abort... rejected! Terminal
being opened to the U.M.N. network. Invasion cannot be intercepted!
Guy: Multiple axons being connected in the deep zone! Large-scale holographic
network being reorganized!
Ziggy: Professor Mizrahi. This is--
Mizrahi: Even if we study every system individually, we won't find anything.
The low-resolution bits of every layer-- Like splinters of memory inlaid, all
activate at once, and link all of the images. Joachim set it up this way.
[sourei na something]. Re-execute abort sequence! Reconstruct external hacking
defense logic!
Girl: Yes ma'am! Restarting defense logic! ...It was rejected.
Ziggy: MOMO!
Mary: MOMO!
MOMO: I'm... sorry... MOMO... didn't... notice...
Gaignun: No, this is--!
Mizrahi: An internal trap is present. This is not Joachim's design. It's
newer... This was done while she was captive in that "Tower of the Song".
Gaignun: Albedo's trap!?
Girl: Defense logic will be destroyed in 20 seconds! (Mizrahi takes the seat
from her) All developmental data could be compromised!
Ziggy: Professor Mizrahi. What do you intend to do?
Mizrahi: To use the emergency code and delete the data.
Ziggy: Ridiculous! If you do that, MOMO will--
Mizrahi: I have no choice! If we do not prevent the Y-Data from falling into
enemy hands...
Ziggy: Professor Mizrahi!
Mizrahi (hesitating over the button): MOMO... (She withdraws her hand)
Guy: Professor Mizrahi! The holographic network has begun to self
disintegrate. The developmental data will be deleted!
Mizrahi: What!? I haven't--
Ziggy: What is this?
Mizrahi: MOMO... MOMO herself is rejecting her nervous circuits and dispersing
her memories! To protect what Joachim has hidden, she is self-destructing her
mind!
Ziggy: What!
Mizrahi: MOMO! (MOMO collapses)
Girl: 100-Type prototype system functions stopped!
Mizrahi and Ziggy (rushing to her): MOMO!
Albedo (appearing on all screens): Hey there!

2nd half...of part one anyway
(Back in the present)
Allen: Chief! Wait, chief. What's wrong? You seem strange today.
Shion: No, I'm the same as always.
Allen: Where are you headed?
Shion: To the town for a bit. It's been a while...
Allen: Been a while...? Oh yeah, you are originally from...
Shion: Right. The 8th district. Hey, Allen... Don't take your eyes off of KOS
MOS, okay?
Allen: Oh, all right... Why? (Shion walks away) She is very strange today.
__1.2.9: Moby Dicks Coffee__
Shion: Ah, I thought so! Hey bartender!
Bartender: Eh?
Shion: Hello!
Bartender: Ah, I thought "who could that be?" and it's Shion! You've become a
woman since I last saw you, when you were in high school!
Shion: Haven't I? It's been so long. Have you moved here?
Bartender: Well, I couldn't compete with the redevelopment... But at least the
inside of the store has remained the same.
Shion: Yeah, Moby Dick's has to look like this!
Bartender: Well, sit down! The usual?
Shion: Sure. And I'm kind of hungry, so something to eat too.
Bartender: Got it. So, is it your day off?
Shion: I wish it was. Unfortunately I have work. I've got some business at the
Second Branch.
Bartender: That's right, you are working for Vector. I heard from your brother.
Shion: Oh, my... brother... comes here?
Bartender: Oh yeah, quite often. What, you haven't seen him yet? You came all
the way back, you should at least see him once.
Shion: Even you... Even though you know I am uncomfortable around him...
(Someone comes in)
Bartender: Ah, speak of the devil...
Jr.: Look, chaos! The atmosphere is just like [p-quad?] in here!
chaos: Shion?
Shion: What are you two doing here?
Jr.: Ah, we were just hungry...you know...
chaos: ...and we happened across this place.
Bartender: Oh, friends of yours?
Shion: Ah, something like that...
chaos: "Something like that" is not a very nice way to say it...
Shion: Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just a little shaken up.
chaos: Shaken up? Why?
Bartender: Shion's family is a little complicated.
(in Helmar's office, Gaignun and the Godwin sisters arrive)
Gaignun: I'm terribly sorry we're late.
Helmar: Welcome! Ah, Shelley and Mary have gotten quite big!
Mary: Uncle Helmar! Been a while!
Shelley: Mary! It's "Helmar-sama"!
Helmar: Ah, don't worry about it. I feel like I have two daughters of my own.
So, Mary, have you been keeping up your accomplishments?
Mary: Oh, yes. I have been busy but I'm trying to become the best comedian in
the star cluster! My sister won't act as my partner, so lately I've been
thinking of scouting the Little Master!
Helmar: That's great. Make sure to invite me.
Mary: Yes!
(Helmar and Gaignun nod; Godwins leave)
Helmar: It's not very pleasant news, but... In addition to U-TIC's there have
been some other suspicious actions.
Gaignun: Yes.
Helmar: The peace treaty of 14 years ago was the best plan of action during the
chaos of the time, but I can't say that everyone has been upholding it
completely. That strain is now becoming apparent in the Federation. According to
Captain Roman, one faction seems to have the threat of an armed rebellion. The
Second Miltia government is observing lookout procedures, so you at the
Foundation should be very careful as well. Because as it is, right now you have
the Zohar Emulators and the 100-Type prototype in your pocket, and that makes
you a target.
Shelley (returning): Gaignun-sama... I have brought MOMO-chan.
Helmar: The 100-Type prototype.
Gaignun: Thanks. Bring her in.
MOMO: (Very polite introductory greeting). I am the 100-Type Observational
Realien Prototype, MOMO. I have completed brief internal-data research.
Canaan: 100-Type Realien.
MOMO: You are a Recording Elemental Expansion Type? (Polite phrase expressing
gratitude for future acts).
Helmar: She indeed looks much more like her than the mass-production models do.
Gaignun: Yes. She is surely Professor Mizrahi's posthumous child.
Helmar: I see. Fate is truly a mysterious thing. You have overcome much danger,
and done well. Now you will be analyzed at the U.M.N. Administrative Center. We
are prepared to support you in every way we can. Please accept your duty without
worry.
MOMO: Yes. Thank you for your concern. (Leaves, bows)
Helmar: Nigredo. There is a job that I must ask of you.
Gaignun: Search out the enemy?
Helmar: I'm sorry.
Gaignun: Don't be. It's my responsibility in the first place.
(Gaignun steps out and telepathically links with... Albedo!)
Gaignun: All right boy, where are you?
Albedo (Flying in E.S. Simeon somewhere): Nigredo!
Gaignun: Hey. I see you're doing hopelessly well as always.
Albedo: I see you're as skillful a talker as always. What's wrong? Were you
lonely? You worthless thing.
Gaignun: What. I'm just looking for a little information. And leaving the
possibility for a peace agreement.
Albedo: A peace agreement? McCartney said that black and white should get along.
Hahahaha... I know what you truly are. "Executioner".
Gaignun: I threw away that position long ago.
Albedo: Is that so? Aren't you just sticking by Rubedo hoping for a chance to
perform your professional duties? I'll be borrowing Rubedo. You're on the
outside of this, anyway. I'm really looking forward to what you'll do!
Gaignun: Wait! That-- (his eyes flash, and Albedo's arm blows up)
Albedo: Scary, scary! You've always been that kind of guy... Showing such a calm
face, but hiding fangs of death. Hahahahaha... (fades away)
Gaignun (to self): He is going to try linking to U-Du after all. And, what is he
planning to do to Rubedo?
(Back at Moby Dicks)
Jr: Mmmmmm allright!!!!
chaos: I see, this place is Shion's roots, when it comes to curry.
Shion: You figured me out! Oh by the way, how is MOMO? All right?
chaos: They say the main scan will be tomorrow. Looks like there's no problems
so far.
Jr.: That's how it is. We had some extra time, so we came to town.
Shion: Oh.
chaos: What about you? Did you turn over KOS-MOS yet?
Shion: Yeah. I kind of left it up to Allen. It could take a while depending on
the situation.
Jr.: Did something happen? You look depressed....
Shion: Oh, some things... And, I'd been with her for a long time, so parting was
kind of difficult.
Jr.: Hmm, is that how it is....
chaos: Well, for example, what if you were told you had to give up your
treasured Carles [is this some type of gun? help me, gun people] scope, how
would you feel?
Jr.: Oh, that would be terrible. My wallet and my heart would both be sad.
chaos: See?
Shion: Could you please not compare Jr.'s collection and KOS-MOS?
Jin: Good day, bartender.
Bartender: Ah, welcome! It's funny that you should come in; Shion just-- Uh?
(Shion is no longer in her seat)
(Jr. gives away her presence)
Jr.: Hmmm Where's Shion? Uh! Drum playing? Your heart..? Shit! I don't know, what is it Shion?
Shion: Not so loud!
Jin: Shion? And, that's a voice I've heard somewhere...
Shion: Uh... It's been a while...
Jin: I am Jin. Jin Uzuki. It's a pleasure to meet you.
chaos: The pleasure is mine. [as if they haven't met]
Jin: So, you are Shion's companions. Has my foolish little sister been troubling
you?
Shion: "Foolish" is a bit much.
chaos: Not at all. Shion has been taking quite good care of us.
Jin: Is that true? You don't need to mind just because she is here.
Shion: Brother!
Jin: Hm, I am not feeling very welcomed...
Shion: It's not that, I just--
Jin: Bartender! I'll have the same thing. Extremely spicy.
Shion: Hey, would you listen when people are talking?
Jin: I'm listening. So, what were you saying?
Shion: Nevermind, I'm tired of it.
Jin: Really, if you had told me you were coming I would have come out to meet
you. How long are you here?
Shion: Oh, I was very busy, and as soon as we arrived I had work to do... And I
have to be ready to go back to the main branch by tonight--
Jr.: What?? You said we had a while--oi!!
Shion (kicks Jr.): It's nothing! Nothing! (Her phone rings) Oh, who could that
be?
Allen: Chief! Hello. About KOS-MOS... It's going to take two or three more days
before [some technobabble about coding]. It looks like we're going to be
lounging around here for a while. Uh, what's wrong, chief? You seem unhappy.
Shion: (sigh)... Could this be [harassment of newcomers]?
Allen: Huh?
Shion: Nothing. The timing of your report was good enough to bring me to tears.
Thank you.
Allen: Wait, chief!
Jin: I see. Lounging around for a while, is it?
Shion: I understand. I'll go. I'll come home. Are you happy?
Jin: Ah yes, how would you two like to come to our home? It's not very far from
here.
Jr.: What should we do?
chaos: If we were to come, we would interrupt the two of you siblings being
reunited... (Shion begs) Ah, uh, sure, we would love to come, for a bit. Thanks
for asking.
__1.2.10: At the Uzukis'__
Jr.: chaos, look, this house is made of *wood*!
chaos: Yeah, and on top of that, look! It's amazing; this place is a bookstore!
Jr.: Awesome! Super-antique! I should have brought Gaignun!
Shion: I knew it.
chaos: You knew what?
Shion: Brother! What is this? I thought you were going to start working as a
doctor!
Jin: What's wrong with you? When you return to your home, shouldn't you first
say something like, "I'm back"?
Shion: Yes, if it's a *normal* home! What happened? Don't tell me you got bored
and changed jobs again. It hasn't even been half a year!
Jin: being a doctor did not suit me very well. The main task was being a
conversational partner for the neighborhood's old folks; mental care. The
medicine and nanomachines cure everything other than mental illnesses, so that's
all that's left to do. Even without making the investment to become a doctor, I
can still have conversations. But I thought, if I had something to sell, I might
be able to gain a bit from it.
Shion: What do you mean, gain from it? Didn't you just decide to try making a
profit on a hobby you already had? You never made much of an investment into
becoming a doctor anyway. Most of all, what about this mountain of books? Isn't
this even more of an investment? Where did you get all of these books anyway?
Jin: Half of them were stored away in our grandfather's cellar. You've seen them
before, when you were younger. The other half are from customers. Lots of very
distinguished people come here. I have no lack of sources. But, more
importantly, our guests...
Shion: Oh, right! I was so wrapped up in how different this place looks that I
forgot... Jr.! chaos! Please, come on in-- Uh, what are you doing?
Jr. (with tall stacks of books): Oh, uh, I was just thinking of buying these...
chaos: Oh, thank you for having us...
Jr.: But-- These books!
chaos: You can buy all the books you want later, come on.

I have just start translating the Japanese Script for you people. Since you all requested it some time ago so I'm sorry to put it up late! It’s not complete yet. But it’s very similar to the NA version. Just think of the NA version more child friendly ^-~
Allen: Ahhh, I can’t believe we’re alive!
Jr.: Yeah, no kidding. I thought we were in for it for sure…
Allen: I’m telling you, the array of stuff the chief pulls always keeps me on edge.
Shion: What are you saying? You make it sound like..I did it!
Allen: Gomen, I did not mean that! KOS-MOS!
You saved our lives, thanks!
KOS-MOS: I am happy to be of service to all of you.
Jr.: Oi, me, pops and the two kids are going to the government office now. What are up to doing, Shion?
Shion: Hmm. Well, we need to hand over KOS-MOS. I think I’ll go to second division, ai KOS-MOS?
KOS-MOS: Acknowledged. That will not be a problem.
Jr.: Mmmhmm. You do have to do that job, yeah? You still going to be hanging here? We can go somewhere later if you would like.
Shion: That’d be great! I’ll show you around this place,
MOMO.
MOMO: Thank you, Shion-san. MOMO's looking forward to it!
Shion: All right. Let’s go KOS-MOS.
KOS-MOS: (to Jr., MOMO, Ziggy and chaos) Please excuse us. Good-bye.
Shion and KOS-MOS left the scene.
Allen: What the? Hey, Chief! Wait up!
Allen left the scene and catches up with Shion and KOS-MOS.
Jr.: Heh. I guess we better get going, yeah?
Ziggy: Sorry…could you wait just a little while? I’m going to report
what’s happened to the Subcommittee. (to MOMO) It appears that Dr.
Mizrahi has also arrived at Miltia, as well. If you have a message for
her.
MOMO: Really? Mommy?
Ziggy: Yes.
MOMO: Please let her know that I’m looking forward to seeing her.
Ziggy: Got it. I’ll pass it along.
Later, Ziggy uses a U.M.N. terminal and contacts Juli Mizrahi.
Juli: All right. Continue your assignment until the delivery is
complete.
Ziggy: Acknowledged.
There was a brief pause.
Ziggy: Dr. Mizrahi.
Juli: Yes, Jan Sauer. Is there something else?
There was another brief pause.
Ziggy: I am currently Ziggurat 8 for the moment.
Juli: So it appears.
Ziggy: MOMO…is looking forward to seeing you.
Juli: I see. I… I, too, welcome your arrival.
The communication ended. Ziggy closes his eyes for a brief moment and
then opens them.
Ziggy: "Eavesdropping is a hobby I never had much interest in."
Jr. proposes that Ziggy get his body upgraded to a carbon frame, installed by
specialist realiens.
Ziggy: "I don't see any need to extend my life span any longer."
Jr.: "MOMO would be happy to see you live longer."
Ziggy: "No, I'll pass. I don't intend to live long."
Jr.: "All right... Let me know if you ever change your mind."
__1.2.6: A Peaceful Drive__
(Ziggy walks down to the car where the others are waiting.)
MOMO: Ziggy: What did Mama say?
Ziggy: Oh, yes. She seemed very busy.
MOMO: Oh, I figured...
Ziggy: She seems to support the subcommittee very much. It must be a very
demanding job.
MOMO: I suppose so. MOMO has to work hard to help her!
As they are driving along the highway, two huge freaking robots fly up out of
nowhere and start attacking them.
MOMO: Aiiieeeee
Jr.: The hell!?
Ziggy: Jr. who are they?
Jr.: Albedo? No, it’s placid for him.
Chaos: eh!
Jr.: Damn, it’s no good on auto, somebody drive it!
MOMO: MOMO wants to!
MOMO crawls under Jr. to get to the front seat.
Jr.: Eh!? Hey, kid!
MOMO: MOMO will do it!
Jr.: Eh…
MOMO: Jr.-san!?
Jr.: 2089! Speed it up!
Jr. shoots them with his pistols and MOMO
takes over the controls of the car, heading for a location specified by Jr.
They are chased by the robots a bit longer until chaos tosses a fire
extinguisher, Jr. shoots it, and they escape down a big flight of stairs. Jr.
has taken them to the fully automated area of town so as to minimize
involvement of civilians. What a guy.
__1.2.7: Backup__
Jr.(telepathically): Gaignun! We're headed to 2089! Tell Helmar we need some
backup! (Gaignun is in some sort of unconscious state at his desk) Hey!
Nii-san!!
Gaignun: Sorry. What's the situation?
Jr.: 2089!
Gaignun: Got it... (to himself) What the hell. What was I doing just now?
Helmar(on phone): Understood. Backup is on its way. It's headed for the
rendezvous point. (hangs up) So, now even out in the open is not safe anymore?
(After a while, Jr. and the others are found by the two huge robots.)
Richalt: It's been a while! You look well! You remember me, don't you? Richalt
is my name. You should remember it, before you die.
Jr.: I hope you burn in hell!
Afterwards, another huge robot with some
sort of big claw appears.)
Pellegry: Both of you, out of the way! I'll take care of the rest! (Her big
claw divides into what look like Aerods, which fire at the group.) Any further
resistance is pointless. Quietly hand over the 100-Type!
(The Aerod-looking things are blown up, and E.S. Asher appears.)
Jr.: That vehicle! Canaan!?
Canaan: Rubedo! Get down!
. Jr. scolds
Canaan for calling him Rubedo,
Jr.: Oi! You could have came sooner, yeah!?
Canaan: Further enemy pursuit is not the matter. I must head back, see you later, Rubedo.
Jr.: Oi oi! No one calls me Rubedo, hear me?
Canaan: I can’t rid of that image of you.
(Jr.
thinks back to 14 years ago.)
Rubedo: Someone! Someone! Help us! It doesn't stop! Nigredo's blood won't stop!
Nigredo: It's all right, Rubedo. No more.
Rubedo: Stupid! You can't give up!
(A light shines on them)
Canaan: U.R.T.V., two units found. Confirmed.
chaos: A red horse brings war. A black horse, famine. In their small shape,
they carry such great strife.
Canaan: The voice channel is noisy; I couldn't hear you. What is it, chaos?
chaos: Nothing. Let's save them.
Jr.: Me. It's my fault. Even though I'm the leader, I broke the ring. That's
why Albedo...
Canaan: Albedo?
Jr.: He's... A fragment of me. The beating in my chest.
Canaan: I got a result. Albedo-- Unit number 667. Conjoined to Unit 666 in the womb. They are imperfect separation can
occur.
chaos: The white horse's rider was polluted, as well... We'll bring peace to
your wounds and your spirits. Even if it's just a moment's rest...
(Back in Second Miltia)
Jr.: I guess you could say I owe those two my life.
MOMO: You've known chaos for a long time too... Um, would it be all right for
me to call you Rubedo? It's a very nice name!
Jr.: Uh... Sorry, that's...
MOMO: MOMO’s sorry...
Jr.: Uh, no, it's just, not a name that brings back good memories.
MOMO: Jr. and Ziggy both dislike your real names.
Jr.: It's because names have good or bad memories associated with them. Pops
over there probably has all sorts of burdens on him. But that's all right. Pops
seems to like the name "Ziggy".
MOMO: Then I'm happy!
Jr.: Even if it does make him sound like a low level mutt!
__1.2.8: Second Branch__
(At Vector Industries 2nd Development Branch)
Shion: Project Zohar?
Guy: Yes. Its spread is evident by the acceleration of the Gnosis phenomenon.
It has been predicted that in the worst-case scenario, within several years the
entire human race could be ruined by Gnosis. Already, more than 120 solar
systems have been annihilated. Even without its having been made public, this
truth is bearing down upon us.
Shion: I understand the situation. But, what does any of it have to do with
KOS-MOS?
Guy: Come this way.
(They are taken to a room in which some vaguely cool-looking designs are
displayed.)
Allen: This is amazing.
Guy: KOS-MOS Mark Three. Designed to prevail in the absolute worst possible
situation.
Shion: What do you mean, absolute worst situation?
Guy: Project Zohar is a grand strategy to completely wipe out Gnosis from this
universe. For that purpose, we must salvage the Original Zohar stored away
on Miltia. The Original Zohar has, for over half a century, been researched as
the most powerful energy source in this universe. But, the key of the Zohar is
this: the core unit needed to restrain the Zohar is a double-edged sword.
Shion: A double-edged sword?
Guy: This. (He shows a screen.) A phenomenon called U-du. Other than that early
on the core unit goes out of control, the details are completely unknown. It's
because of this that Miltia is the way it is today. What we must not forget is
that Gnosis appeared in unison with this phenomenon.
Allen: Do you mean to say that more Gnosis will appear with it again?
Guy: It can't be determined for sure. But it is a definite possibility.
Shion: So then, in KOS-MOS, you want to install... units on both shoulders-- a
general transference system?
Guy: The flower of First Branch, it could only be Chief Uzuki.
Shion: Don't make fun of me.
Guy: I'm sorry. Also, something created for the archetype version, but which
was refit for the current KOS-MOS. The system's radius is 130 nanometers.
Allen: 130!?
Shion: Can you control something on such a scale?
Guy: Leave it to us and the military research office. That is why we moved KOS
MOS here.
Shion: What if I told you I can't hand her over?
Guy: This is an officially planned government project. A chief who wrote one
piece of software does not have the authority to overrule it.
Shion: I suppose not.
Guy: I can understand that you would be uneasy, considering the circumstances
of KOS-MOS's activation, but it is all right. With the data from KOS-MOS's
previous activity, the main company thinks we can perform it correctly. We
agree. Our preparations are complete.
Shion: I guess I have no choice but to trust you.
Guy: You should. After all, the one who designed this system is Kevin, from the
First Branch.
Shion: I understand. I will deliver KOS-MOS to the Second Development Branch at
14:00. I'll send the documents, so if there's anything you need, contact me.
I'll leave the software delivery to him, so if there is anything you don't
understand...
Guy: Understood. Thank you very much.
(Shion walks out; she starts reminiscing)
Shion: To save people's lives?
Kevin: Yes. You could say that's why she's being born. Her awakening will mean
the future to a lot of people. I can't wait for that day.
Shion: This spaceship is also part of KOS-MOS's equipment, right? A vehicle
that can reach hyperspace even without contact with the U.M.N. Column. This
exists to save people's lives too?
Kevin: Yeah... If you look at it the big picture, I guess it does. I hope it'll
be useful to her some day. It may sound weird to say this, but I believe-- no,
I *want* to believe-- that she's not just a weapon used to destroy, but that
the future she makes will be a better one, with no destruction or slaughter. An
ideal world. (Shion laughs) Ah, I guess I'm pretty weird.
Shion: Oh, no, just... How should I say it... Ah, your eyes just looked so
pure, like a child's... Kevin-sempai.
Kevin: Ah, I was just so happy... When I'm in an official capacity I'll try to
be careful.
Shion: But, I'd like to see her too. KOS-MOS, when she wakes up.

This last part in the manga takes up all volume one and it’s about Jr. gambling, which is pretty funny if I say. I spend about a month translating it and finding good English equivalents.
I didn’t bother to put down the sound effects….they really didn’t make much less of a sense anyway. I really don’t know why they are there in the first place! :o
Someone made a parody of this once….it was sometime ago though. Anyway, I hope I did a good job with this one.
Title: chaotic nights
Coincidentally, Jr. bumped into KOS-MOS, who was also wandering the halls in search of something.
Jr.: KOS-MOS! Hey you look bored. Why not come to the Gambling Room with me?
KOS-MOS: Gambling is highly irrelevant to my mission and is extremely inappropriate for an android such as myself. Also, the games are rigged and would be a waste of my time and money.
Jr.: This is MY ship and my games are CERTAINLY not rigged. At least come and watch me win my victories.
KOS-MOS: I was currently in the middle of accomplishing Shion's orders."
Jr.: Forget her. She's just 'all work and no play'. That's why you're so hardcore. She never lets you have any fun."
KOS-MOS: I am also telling you this for your own good. According to my calculations, the probability of you winning a single card game is a 00.002% chance."
Jr.: KOS-MOS I think you're malfunctioning. I'm the coolest person on the Durandal. I CAN'T lose. Now come on! We've already wasted five minutes of gambling time!
-------------------------------------
Later...
Jr.: OUTRAGEOUS! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT I CAN'T GAMBLE HERE!?
Dealer: Well, Little Master, it's not the fact that you can’t gamble here, it's the fact that you aren't old enough to.
Jr.: What are you talking about!? I’m twenty-nine years old and this my ship thank you very much!!
Dealer: Little Master you obviously don't look twenty-nine. And even if you were, do you have an ID present?"
Jr.: Huh? *looks in pockets* Where did it go!?
Falshback----------------------: Elsa:
Tony: I took Little Master’s ID!
Hammer: Free beer for us!
Present -------------
Dealer: I rest my case.
Jr.: INSIGNIFICANCE! SAYS WHO THAT I CAN'T GAMBLE HERE!?
Dealer: It's the law, sir.
Jr.: Well then, I'll just have to report this to the Administration Committee, now won't I?
Dealer: Sure, sir.
Jr.: *squints* Hey, didn't I see your name on the Mary and Shelly Fan Club list?
Dealer: I admire Mary and Shelly very so much…
Jr.: Good… CAUSE NOW YOU'RE OFF OF IT!"
Dealer: W-What?
Sfx:sobsob
Jr.: That's right, I hereby declare you off from the list.
KOS-MOS: This man is only obeying his orders. You, on the other hand, are clearly attempting to deny the rights of his enjoyments. Surely…
Jr.: Shut up you stupid android! Just what would you know about gambling, laws and order and marketing!?
KOS-MOS: Well, due to the absence of two of those ideals, I—
Jr.: Shut up! And you dealer, will pay for this. Dearly.
-------------------------------------
10 minute later
Jr.: This is much more like it! For my first game, I would like to play poker.
Dealer: Right, do you have a pre-made deck?
Jr.: As a matter of fact I do! It’s called ‘The Best Deck In The Entire World Because It Features Gaignun Jr. (That’s Me) on all of The Cards.
Dealer: Right…In that case I will be playing with my Supreme Nemesis Deck.
Jr.: I’m not scared of you!
KOS-MOS: it seems to me that your cockiness will prove to be your adversary. Are you confirming your decision wisely?
Jr.: Be quiet! Just LOOK at MY deck!
Sfx:fanfanfanfan
KOS-MOS: That deck shows your conceitedness.
Jr.: I am not conceited! I am a winner! Now I begin!
Dealer: Y-Yes, sir…
Jr.: It's good to be King…
-----------------------------------------------
20 minute later
Jr.: Hahaha Another win! Next victim!
Man: So, you're the Little Master who has won 34 games straight in a row?
Jr.: Yeah, What's it to you?
Man: I'm here to challenge you.
Jr.: Bring it on fat boy. *Does the 'come on' sign.*
Man: You're going to regret those words, pansy.
Jr.: PANSY!? DID YOU JUST CALL ME PANSY!?
Man: Yeah I did.
Jr.: Good, Just thought that I didn't hear you correctly.
*On the other side of the room, KOS-MOS was trying her luck at slots.*
KOS-MOS: If I wait approximately 0.603 seconds, then my chances of winning 75 million gold will be pushed up to 99.999%.
Machine: Congratulations! You've just won 75 million gold!
-------------------------------------------
40 minute later
Jr.: I can't believe I'm losing! I can't believe I'm losing to …a Skull Card. Are you sure that these 'special' cards you have are legal in the tournament?
Man: Of course! *puts down a cheap drawn skull card* Now this is an instant death to all cards.
Sfx: It’s great to cheat!
Jr.: I won't accept defeat. Another match! I'll bet I can beat you this time!
Man: What's the bet?
Jr.: I'll bet my EXCLUSIVE guns here!
*KOS-MOS passed by*
KOS-MOS: Gaignun Kukai Jr… are you sure…
Jr.: YES I'M SURE! NOW GO AWAY!
*KOS-MOS shrugs and exits the Gambling Room.*
Jr.: Begin!
--------------------------------------
50 minute later
Man: Well, I must thank you for your parting with these guns here…
Jr.: No! How could I lose!? This is MY gambling table!
Sfx:slamslam
Man: It was a pleasure doing business with you…
Jr.: Wait! *tosses coat on table* I'll bet this!
Man: Suit yourself. It's your funeral.
Jr.: I won't lose THIS time!
--------------------------------------
*MOMO walked past the room*
Sfx:shuffleshuffle
Jr.: I lost again!?
Jr.: It's not fair!
Man: Hey, thanks for the coat, but you don't have anything left to gamble with. Besides, you've been playing all night. Don't you think that it's time for you to stop?
Jr.: NEVER! I WILL find something else to bet against!
MOMO: What are you doing?
Jr.: Come here, MOMO,
Sfx: grabgrab jerk
Jr.: I will bet you this bracelet that I can win the next match!"
Man: Hey, I ain't betting for pretty stuff.
Jr.: No way. This is a SILVER bullet. Made completely from…SILVER."
MOMO: But you gave it to me!!!
Jr.: Quiet, kid! I'll get you another one! My reputation is on the line.
*MOMO ran off, crying.*
Man: That was pretty dirty…
Jr.: Shut up! Are you here to play, or are you here to play?
Man: I guess I'm here to play.
Jr.: Good! Now shuffle the cards.
---------------------------------
70 minute later
Man: Geez. You don't have anything left to gamble with. You've been playing at this table since yesterday. Don't you think that it's time for you to quit?
*KOS-MOS appears once again*
KOS-MOS: I find it quite odd that a life form such as yourself would still be wasting your time in a room such as this.
Jr.: And just what are you doing here, KOS-MOS?
KOS-MOS: I never said that android could not participate in your human sports. On the contrary, I seem to be faring much better than you anyhow.
Jr.: Ha! I have double that amount in my savings account!
Man: Oh? Really?
KOS-MOS: I have overheard what you have done to MOMO. And to tell you the truth, I find that quite inappropriate. Surely it would be in your best interest to cease gambling and go apologize.
Jr.: Bah I will tomorrow All right, new match!
Man: Hmm…about those saving accounts of yours…
Jr.: Certainly! I have credit cards as well.
Sfx:throwthrow
Jr.: And the documents to my savings accounts will be mailed to you…..have I the misfortune of losing.
-------------------------------------------
90 minute later
Man: You know what? I'm personally sick and tired of beating you. And I never thought I'd say that.
Jr.: NO!I may have lost everything but there's just one thing that I have left.
Man: Oh really?
Jr.: You see this ship we're flying on?
Sfx: (Uh-oh…)
Man: Yeah. What about it?
Jr.: It belongs to ME.
Man: YOU!? Ow the Durandal!?"
Jr.: Well then I guess you don't want it.
Sfx: gather gather
Man: You're serious?
Jr.: Of course I'm serious you idiot. How dare you call Gaignun Jr. a LIAR! I should have you persecuted with your arms severed by cannibals all over the universe with––
Man: All right, Just pick up those cards of yours that you just threw all over me and we'll play.
Jr.: I bet my ship and the ownership of it against your cards.
Man: We'll see about that.
Jr.: I sneer at your cards!
-----------------------------
5 minute later
Jr.: NO! I LOST MY RIGHTS TO THE DURANDAL!
Man: Much obliged, And so that I won't smear my winning streak, I'm going to start working on my prize. First off, I'm going to turn the Durandal into an amusement park!"
Jr.: What!?
Man: Of course! But first I need to learn to fly this thing!
Jr.: You are not touching my ship!
Man: Ah ah but it is mine now.
Jr.: tch!
Everyone aboard: AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Note:
- I've tried to translate the sound effects (sfx) as much as possible, but for those where I could not really find an English equivalent, I've kept in it's original form.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title (English): Swimsuit Equinox (?)
Jr.: Sea ------! Summer ------!
Swimsuits --------!
Jin: Oh my, it's great to be young, isn't it...
By the way, I'm in my swimsuit too ^___-
Shion: Wait, Nii-san!?
Isn't this a "loincloth"!!
A loinclothisn't a swimsuit, isn't in underwear!?
Jin: How rude, Shion. This red loincloth is waterproof.
It's a perfectly legitimate swimsuit.
An underwear-type loincloth is over here...
Shion: How embarrassing ----- !
I understand!! I understand already.
Stop waving it around ------ !!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title (English): Minitskirt!
Jr.: Shion... you changed outfits...
Momo: Yes!
Uh... Um ----
It doesn't suit me?
sfx: fidget fidget
Jr.: sfx: Thadump
Ah!! I didn't mean that!!
Jr: (Thinking) It's just that...
Nice miniskirt!
I won't get to see that appearance again...
That nostalgic heat-pounding feeling...
Jin: You won't get to see it anymore?
Then, let me give you the heartpounding <3 thrill!
sfx: chira chira chira
paparapa (1) -----
Jr.: How about we abandon that freak out into space.
Shion: Yeah.
sfx:Sound of trumpets going off
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title (English): A Whole New World (?) (1)
Currently not translated.
Summary: Jr. and gang come across a ladder and Shion says that there's no way they can proceed ahead unless they climb up the ladder. She then tells all the guys to go up the ladder first, since if the girls go up first the guys will be able to peek under their skirts. (Though honestly, I don't know why she bothers to do this, since in Episode II none of the girls wear skirts anymore. Maybe she just doesn't want the guys looking at the girl's butts?)
The guys go up in the order: Ziggy, Jin and Junior. (Dunno where chaos is) As Jin is climbing up, his kimono flaps open and Jr. who's below him is treated to a rather, er, ungainly sight. :p Jr. is so traumatised that he passes out and falls down the ladder. (Hence the title - it refers to the fact that poor Jr. has been introduced to a new world of something he could never have imagined before.)
(1) Not quite sure how to translate this. I think it means something along the lines of being exposed to something that a person has never seen before, such that it's impact is to make it seem as if a whole new world has opened up to that person. (Eek, hope that made sense)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title (English): My First Impression
Shion: KOS-MOS!
sfx: pata pata (1)
Shion: That appearance... Is your tuning finished?
KOS-MOS: Yes.
Shion: sfx: stare ------ ...

KOS-MOS: Is that all you want to say? Shion.
(1) Sound of footsteps
(Did anyone manage to get this joke? Care to explain it to me?)
