Hologram of a Female Researcher: “Our new lab is finally built.”
Hologram of a Male Researcher: “This time… We’ll stop at nothing to finish our research!”
Hologram of a Male Researcher: “That Fractsidus Overseer has been really generous with his sponsorship... It would have taken us much longer to build this place without him. Though he loves to meddle with our experiments a bit too much... Well, he's our patron, can't do anything about that. This lab's location is a bit too remote for me, but I'm okay with it as long as we can keep doing our research.”
Hologram of a Female Researcher: “Yeah... Where else could us "maniacs" possibly go?”
Hologram of a Male Researcher: “The Committee kicked us out like trash... They'll never understand... As Professor Heisen stated, we are embarking on a monumental endeavor with the power to redefine humanity's future. This time, we will make the ‘divine miracle’ we saw happen again for all of humanity to behold!”
Hologram of a Male Researcher [N.2]: “Why?! Have we been doing it all wrong from the beginning?”
Hologram of a Male Researcher [N.2]: “The experiments have been going smoothly, but we still can't get the desired outcome... Why? The ‘Artificial Retroactive Rain’ project has advanced to its second phase... We have various evidence that this ancient civilization was the Whining Aix's Mire at some point. We believed we could recreate that ‘divine miracle’ with the artificial Retroact Rain... have we been mistaken? We have no time left. The ‘Artificial Controllable Tacet Field’ should be complete by now... We'll have to rely on our backup plan.”

Hologram of a Male Researcher [N.3]: “How’s Subject A038 doing lately?”
Hologram of a Female Researcher [2]: “It has to assume a concrete form or exhibit vocalization behavior. In most cases, it remains motionless. However, we've noticed some behavioral discrepancies from our initial expectations, and further observation and research would be necessary.”
Hologram of a Male Researcher [N.3]: “It’s merely a ‘replica’, after all. It’s far from the true form of those ‘gods’… By the way, things have mysteriously disappearing lately. Any idea?”
Hologram of a Female Researcher [2]: “You noticed it too? Thought I was imagining things… And there’s weird noises at the lab late at night. I suspect it has something to do with Subject A038… Lately, its frequencies have always displayed signs of ‘hunger’. But it’s been under strict surveillance. That couldn’t possibly be A038… Right?”
Hologram of a Male Researcher [N.3]: “…I’ll go check the security cameras once more. Let’s increase its rations. We can’t afford to let it go hungry. After all, it’s our last hope now…”
