Leo
Phoenix, based on the aforementioned reasons, you're relieved of your position as director of the A.R.C. Technology Department, effective immediately. You can go clear out your office now.Noah
Fellow committee members! Please wait! This is to...Phoenix
Noah, it's OK.Leo
... the meeting is now over.
[Door Opens]
Noah
Director!Phoenix
That's more or less it. I'll go clear out my stuff.A.R.C. Employee
So Phoenix really got fired...A.R.C. Employee
It was just a matter of time. He really went overboard this time, going directly against the higher ups like that…A.R.C. Employee
Isn't the person following him a very likely candidate for the next director? Maybe he's the one who ratted on Phoenix...Noah
What are you people mumbling about!?Phoenix
Noah! I'm sorry, I have a bit too much stuff. Can you give me a hand here?Noah
OK...
[»»»Fast Forward»»»]
Noah
Being insulted like that... How come you're not angry about it at all!?Phoenix
Saying that you're the rat, that's certainly too harsh. I don't believe that you're the one who tattled on me.Noah
That's not what I'm talking about! Firing you just like that, I can't accept it! There must be other methods, right? The other members of the team will definitely help aside as well!Phoenix
Back during the HR meeting, of the multiple accusations made against me by the higher ups, can you refute even a single one of them?Noah
... I... but, direct your ideals...Phoenix
Ha, everything they said is an undeniable fact. Since they can't accept my way of doing things, there is no point for me to continue staying here either.Noah
Node 08 A.R.C.. Is the most technologically advanced research organization in the entire world. Where else can you go after you leave here?Phoenix
Haha, you're still too young Noah. How old are you this year? 24?Noah
Just turned 24...Phoenix
*Chuckles* Several mistakes you made there. First of all, this is not the most resource rich place in the world. What you see is merely the surface. Secondly, if you really think I have nowhere to go once I leave here, you're seriously underestimating me.Noah
I would never... Director's the one person I worship the most on my career path as a researcher! Then where do you plan to go after this? Please, let me come with you too!Phoenix
... At first, I was considering taking you and other talented folks in the team with Me. However, I decided to scrap that idea.Noah
Eh? Why? I'm sure the other members would be more than willing to follow you too. None of us would want to stay on a team without you director...Phoenix
Noah, you still have a family to feed don't you?Noah
Oh...Phoenix
This... what I'm going to tell you next will be a secret between us. The path I plan to walk next... will be extremely brutal. You can even say that there's nothing honorable about it...Noah
...Eh?Phoenix
Our research of the virus is something that can no longer be done here. The company's stance is firm; And to be fair I can understand where they're coming from. Therefore, I would also advise you to stay out of this from now on.Noah
I can't do that!? You have been working so hard on it for so many years...Phoenix
I will find the breakthrough point… on the other side of the world.Noah
It can't be...Phoenix
Exactly; Only in “that place” will I no longer be restricted by laws and morals. I can conduct my research with no limitations at all. This is something I have to conquer on my own.Noah
... I... I also...Phoenix
Don't fool yourself. For someone who gets nightmares after dissecting a frog, I don't think you can handle the things I'm going to do in the future.Noah
...Phoenix
... Do you still remember the incident eight years ago? The one where a drone lost control and accidentally killed a civilian?Noah
Yes. I remembered the victim’s name was Carla... something?Phoenix
Carla Pauline. The drone that malfunctioned was the model LE-110 that belonged to the Administration Bureau. On the same day, in the forbidden areas just outside of Node 08, an exploration team member, Jack Edwards, died from the virus...Noah
Jack Edwards... I remember seeing this name on the medical reports...Phoenix
Back then, then the news reports were released almost simultaneously. However, almost nobody cared about the death of this exploration team member . The only news people seem to care about was the one where a drone murdered a human.Noah
Indeed. Back then, not even I knew about this incident...Phoenix
You know what's ironic? The information that helped fix the malfunction in LE-110 was discovered by none other than Jack Edwards. The modified LE-112's are still in service at the Administration Bureau to this very day as well. So far, they haven't had any issues and have protected many civilians.Noah
What...Phoenix
The mass public tends to not think about the hidden meanings behind these kinds of incidents. They only care about the things that are happening in front of their eyes... back then, the ensuing panic, the mistrust towards technology, all of those are major obstacles for the advancement of science. That responsibility we must shoulder as well.Noah
...Phoenix
We humans have the power of knowledge. That's why it is our duty to make the world a better place. For the purpose of a long term goal, I chose a path not only extreme and dangerous but that could also involve devolution into a life of crime. However, even though that's my choice, it does not mean the things you're doing here is obsolete.Noah
...Phoenix
A.R.C.’s technology is still a trusted and hopeful beacon for our current society. Noah, you're a young man with great potential. You shouldn't go on this mad journey with me. After my departure, you will be the most capable member of my team. Please, take care of them for me. Director.Noah
