3rd floor Machinery Lab, New Era University of Circuitry, Balskfort City, Drob 12:55PMIt looks long but it's short actually.
Unnamed main character: “Think it would work?”
Caleb: “Errr-”.
Character name window prompt will pop up, asking for Phenelo’s name. In this case we’ll use Phenelo.
Caleb: “Err. Phenelo? You’re asking me about that?”
Phenelo’s options
A. “Good point.”
B. “I don’t see the reason why I can’t.”
Caleb’s answers
A. “Huh? What do you mean?”
B. “Gah. We all know that you’re the expert here!”
Phenelo: “. . .”
Caleb: “You have to make it work man. You see, break hours are almost over and I don’t want to miss seeing my sweetheart.”
Phenelo: “Ugh.” (Phenelo groaned as he recovers his grip with the tool in his hand.)
Phenelo: ”Sweetheart huh? You make me laugh Al.” (shaking his head with disapprovement.)
Caleb: “You’re just jelly that I’m going to get a girl.”
(Phenelo let out his small laughter through his nose.)
Phenelo: “Al, just a piece of friendly advice. Don’t cross the dangerous roads.”
Caleb: “Hmph.”
(The bell rung. The two boys raised their heads to see a few students passing by the window. Break hours are over.)
Phenelo can now roam freely around the school and talk to some people. Next cutscene will continue when the player reaches Phenelo’s house.
Phenelo’s Residence, Balskfort City, Drob 7:32PM
(A sound from the TV can be heard from the living room.)
TV Reporter: “-we are in the annual celebration of The Seed of Technology commencing here at Pierre Center. This is Daphne Webb reporting live for TCD 17. Back to studio.”
(Arissa was sitting in the dining room wearing a pink apron with the word “HIPPY” written in big bold letters. She was drying the plates with a cloth that was too big for her small hands.)
Arissa: “♪ Ta da da, da-da ta da da da, ta-da-da daa ♪”
(Few moments later, she heard a distant sound coming from the door while she was wiping the last plate.)
(Phenelo appeared behind the door.)
Phenelo: “I’m home.” (he was taking off his shoes.)
(Arissa then hastily finished the last plate and ran to the living room with her hands positioned like a ninja.)
Arissa: “How was your day?”
Phenelo: “It went well.” (Phenelo said while walking towards the kitchen.)
Arissa: “Are ya hungry?” (His little sister asked, quickly following his lead.)
(Phenelo reached for a water container from the fridge. He lifts the glass to his lips even if it is just half-filled. Arissa, at the side, remained at her asking position with a smile drawn on her face looking at his brother. When he noticed her sister staring up at him, he felt a warm energy emanating from the girl’s eyes.)
(Phenelo knelt on his left knee and talked to the girl.)
Phenelo: “I’m not letting you cook even if I’m too tired to move.” (Pressing Arissa’s nose gently.)
Arissa: “What? Are you saying you don’t believe in my cooking skills?” (Holding his brother’s hand)
(Phenelo lift his other hand and touched Arissa’s nose again)
Phenelo: “Yes. I don’t, sweetie. Last time, what I told you was to fry the bacon. I didn’t tell you to make a grilled RAM memory card.”
(Arissa tilted her head and looked down.)
Arissa: “So... I’m hopeless.”
(Phenelo leaned closer to the kid.)
Phenelo: “Well, I like the smell of my clothes today. You’ve done a pretty good job for your first try.”
Arissa: “You think so?”
Phenelo: “Yeah. If I can wear fragrant clothes like these everyday, I’ll treat you out! How ‘bout that?”
Arissa: “Yay! You bet!” (tapping Phenelo’s chest twice.)
(Arissa burst into a peal of laughter. So did Phenelo. They were both laughing for a few seconds when the telephone suddenly rang. Phenelo walked to the living room to get the call.)
Player can now free roam around the room.
UI: Get near by the phone. An icon will appear above Phenelo’s head when it gets close enough to an object he can interact with. Press H when this icon appears.
(A familiar voice, Phenelo thought. Caleb was on the other line.)
Phenelo: “What’s up Al?”
Phenelo: “What’s the point of telling options, huh?”Caleb: “Yo, man. I have a good news and a very good news. Which one would you like to hear first?”
Phenelo’s options
A. “I’ll go with the very good news. It sounds exciting.”
B. “I have a bad feeling for that very good news. Spit out the good news first.”
Caleb’s answers
A. “Eeeeng! Wrong answer. I’ll tell the good news first he he.”
B. “He he he. I’ll force you out to the good news anyway.”
Caleb: “So... Haley texted me that our professor in machine construction will have a very important meeting tomorrow. So, no classes.”
Phenelo: “That’s a relief. I need to get some rest and some time with Arissa.” (he glanced at the little girl who is carefully returning the plates.)
Caleb: “But I’m not yet finished, bro. Here’s the very good news! My sweetheart, Kaii, requested for an emergency meeting to keep up with the activities we haven’t planned yet for this year.”
(Phenelo sighed.)
Phenelo: “I see... You know, being an officer sure is tiring too. Being an on-call member will space out all the time I need.”
Caleb: “Man I can’t g- wait. No. No. You can’t leave me there, man.”
Phenelo: “Why? It’s your time. You can have your quality time with your lovey dovey.”
Caleb: “I’ll be freaking nervous. You know that she never shouts whenever you are present. But if you’re not there, get ready for a noise barrage.”
Phenelo: “Tch. Okay. Tomorrow. Gotta end this call before I get all irritated with your kerfuffle.”
Caleb: “Ohhhkay. Sorry your mahzesthee. I’ll see ya when I see ya.”
(The call ended with Caleb hanging up.)
Phenelo: “Wh- argghh... he always ends it that way.”
(He put the phone down. Phenelo yawned remembering all the errands he has to do for tomorrow.)
Phenelo: “Okay, time to cook ou-”
(Muted as he found Arissa sleeping on the dinner table. Phenelo stared at her serene face.)
Phenelo: “Arissa...”.
Phenelo’s Residence, Balskfort City, Drob 2:11AM
Phenelo: “Uhhh... ugh...!”
(Phenelo was dreaming. In his dream he sees his father and mother. Alive. Alive before the tragedy happened.)
Phenelo: “Haaaaaa!”Greg Goblet: “Doctor! The last scan resulted from 190 EMA to 566 EMA! We can’t continue with this, lives are at risk! Doctor! DOCTOR!!”
Unknown doctor: “We have to try! An improvement was observed from the three specialized inputs... just one step away from unlocking all the possibilities this machine can do!”
Engineer 1: “Sir! Current scan reads 461 EMA to 649 EMA! In approximately 24 seconds, the hydroimpluse container will reach it’s limit! And we have 27 warnings coming from the core! This is impossible!”
Greg Goblet: “Darn! Lower all the frequencies that is being transmitted to the core by half! “
Engineer 2: “Affi-”
Unknown Doctor: “No! There’s only 15 seconds left! The core can hold it much longer! Continue with extracting energy!”
Sarah Goblet: “It’s too dangerous Doctor! My screen shows an urgent warning. Extreme shock caused by the energy flow made our three Plazle protector too weak to block all unwanted energies! The core will be too exhausted!”
Engineer 2: 655... 659... 663 EMA? You gotta be kidding! We only have 9 seconds left!
Unknown Doctor: CONTINUE!!! DON’T STOP THE ENERGY EXTRACTION!
Greg Goblet: LOWER THE LEVELS! LOWER THE LEVELS RIGHT NOW!!
Engineer 2: 689... 695! IT’S ESCALATING TOO FAST! 63 WARNINGS COMING FROM THE CORE!
(Greg pushed the two engineers and toggled a group of three switches to OFF and turned 5 knobs down to 51.)
Sarah Goblet: Greg! It’s NOT working!
Engineer 2: “733... 749... 3 SECON-”
(Before anyone had the chance to move from their positions, an explosion ripped through the room. Phenelo awoke with the last terrifying moments from the dream.)
(He shot up in bed, breathing heavily.)
(Arissa came up to him who sleeps on the other side of the bed.)
Arissa: “Uhh... What’s the matter?”
Phenelo: “Nothing. It’s nothing. Just... a dream.”
Arissa: “You’re getting that dream again? Don’t you worry, I’ll lull you to sleep.”
(Arissa starts to hum a soft melody. Then Phenelo slowly falls back to sleep.)
Phenelo: “Father... Mother...”
3rd floor MACHORG Main Room, New Era University of Circuitry, Balskfort City, Drob 9:11AM
Kaii: “WHERE ON EARTH... IS EVERYBODY?!?!”
Member 1: “Uhhh...”
Member 2: “. . .”
Member 1: “Maybe stuck in a traffic jam?”
Member 3: “Guys, I think they have classes?”
Haley: “Caleb sent me a message. They’re on their way.”
Kaii: “TRAFFIC JAAAM?!?! MORE LIKE THEY ARE STUCK IN THE CORRIDOR SPOTTING CUTE GIRLS!! EXCUSES!!” (Shouting in front of Haley’s face)
Haley: “Ehhh...”
Kaii: “FINE!! WE’LL START WITHOUT THEM!! SO GET ON YOUR FEET AND LISTEN TO WHA-”
(Someone knocked on the door and it suddenly opened. It was Caleb.)
crap I can’t find a better word -__-
Caleb: “Haa-hi..”
(Sudden silence...)
Kaii: “WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG!?!? AREN’T YOU ASHAMED?!? I CALLED IT AN EMER-GEN-CY YET YOU’RE NOT ACTING AS FAST AS YOU SHOULD BE!!”
Caleb: “Uhhh pro-profffffessors at the department needed some h-help sooo Ph-phenelo and I were...”
Kaii: “Huh...Phenelo?”
(Phenelo entered the room)
Phenelo: “Sorry, we’re a bit late...”
Phenelo can now free-roam around the room. Next cutscene will take place once he bumps the nearest chair at the left of Kaii with H key.
Kaii: “Hmm... ehem... all of you sit down and let’s start with the meeting.”
Caleb: “Ehh...”
Haley and the other members: “. . .”
---
Kaii: “So that’s it for today, you’re dismissed now.”
(Kaii exited with the other 2 members. Haley, Caleb and Phenelo also followed.)
Haley: “I still have classes so... yeah. See ya!”
(The two boys waved their hands.)
Caleb: “Bayiee!”
(They looked at Haley until she was out of their sight.)
Caleb: “Really, Phen. It was so fishy back there...”
Phenelo: “What?”
Caleb: “A while ago she was like, “WHERE ARE THE OTHERS?!?! GRAAAHHHH!!!” But when you entered the scene, her voice toned down so quickly it was like she had a fight with her mother.”
Phenelo: “Hahahaha! Maybe she was frightened by my looks?” (Phenelo drooped his eyelids and smirked)
Phenelo: “Haha! There are things in life that are more important than girls, Al.”Caleb: “So you’re my rival now, huh?”
Phenelo’s options
A. “Meh. She’s not even my type.”
B. “Why? You jealous?”
Caleb’s answers
A. “It should be! Or else I’ll squeeze the thermal paste out of your brain cords.”
B. “Don’t get me mad at you, Phen.”
Caleb: “No thanks. But I’ll take note of that.”
Phenelo: “Take my advices seriously, it’s for your own good.”
Caleb: “Don’t tell me what to do.”
Phenelo: “Suit yourself.”
(Phenelo taps Caleb’s shoulder and walks away)
Phenelo: “Don’t tell me what not to do.”Caleb: “Where are you going?”
Phenelo’s options
A. “Need’s place. The old man needs some help.”
B. “Going home. Arissa is waiting for me.”
Caleb’s answers
A. “Still with that old geezer? Well, don’t hurt yourself.”
B. “Ahhh. Well, don’t hurt Arissa.”
Caleb: “You sure do talk back.”
Phenelo: “I’m out.”
Phenelo is now outside the school. He can now free-roam but he cannot go back to school. Next cutscene will take place depending on what have he told Caleb.
A. “Need’s place. The old man needs a hand.”
(While on the way to Dr. Need’s place, Phenelo met Arissa.)
Arissa: “Hey, brother!”
Phenelo: “Arissa!”
(Arissa walked closer to Phenelo.)
Phenelo: “I told you to wait for me in the house.”
Arissa: “Eyhh... you’re taking so long. I couldn’t wait so I skedaddled here from home. Heeee.”
Phenelo: “Urghhh. Stubborn kid.”
Arissa: “Bleehh!” (Arissa sticking her tongue out.)
(Phenelo sighs)
Phenelo: “Anyway, since there’s nothing I can do now, come with me. I’m going to Need’s place.”
Arissa: “Wait. I have something for you.”
(Arissa hands over a ring.)
You obtained Arissa’s Ring.
Phenelo: “What’s this?”
Arissa: “A ring.”
Phenelo: “Pshhh... I know it’s a ring.”
Arissa: “It’s just a gift. Keep it.”
Phenelo: “You don’t need to.”
Arissa: “...and! The main reason why we go out; we go buy ice cream!”
Phenelo: “Okay, okay. Sheeesh...”
Arissa: “Assaaaaa!” (Yippie!)
Phenelo can now free-roam with Arissa. Next cutscene will take place when they get to Dr. Need’s place.
B. “Going home. Arissa is waiting for me.”
A cutscene will take place when Phenelo gets to his house.
Phenelo: “Arissa!”
Arissa: “Yay! Wait for me, just arranging some things!”
Phenelo: “Excited, huh?”
Arissa: “It’s ice cream and everybody loves ice cream!”
Phenelo: “Heh...”
Arissa: “Wait. I have something for you.”
(Arissa hands over a ring.)
You obtained Arissa’s Ring.
Phenelo: “What’s this?”
Arissa: “A ring.”
Phenelo: “Pshhh... I know it’s a ring.”
Arissa: “It’s just a gift. Keep it.”
Phenelo: “You don’t need to.”
Phenelo can now free-roam with Arissa. Next cutscene will take place when they get to Dr. Need’s place.
Dr. Need’s Laboratory, Reisner Alley, Balskfort City, Drob 11:48AM
(Scene opens up with Dr. Need attending to his machines.)
Dr. Need: “This goes here... and uh.. this fits here.”
(Stands up straight, looking up.)
Dr. Need: “Uhh... no... this won’t work.”
Dr. Need: “How about... aha!”
(Sound of stomach churn.)
Dr. Need: “Uhhh... marshmallows...”
Phenelo can now free-roam with Arissa. Next cutscene will take place when they get closer to Dr. Need.
Dr. Need: “Phenelo!”
Dr. Need: “So you came.”
Phenelo: “Yeah.”
Arissa: “Hello!”
Dr. Need: “Oh, hello there, muffintops.”
Phenelo: “Get on with it. What do you need?”
Dr. Need: “Excited as always, huh. Well, I’m working on reviving my first work of sweat.”
Phenelo: “The Transborgia?”
Dr. Need: “It’s TRANSLOGIA! Don’t you ever be mistaken with my baby’s name.”
Phenelo: “Whatever.”
Dr. Need: “By the way, I need your help syncing these drives so I can get some backup data.”
Phenelo: “Hmmm. Okay. Let me just buy Arissa some ice cream and I’ll be back.”
Dr. Need: “You buyin’? Can you buy me some fluffies too? I can feel the withdrawal symptoms. argghh...”
Phenelo: “Seriously? Withdrawal from marshmallows? Tch. You’re one weird old man.”
Dr. Need: “People don’t call me “The Needler” for no reason.”
Phenelo can now free-roam with Arissa. Next cutscene will take place when they get out of the laboratory.
Phenelo: “Here’s the money. You buy us two ice creams and one pack of marshmallow for the old man.”
Arissa: “Okiedokes. Ermmm.. wait... what flavor?”
Phenelo’s options
A. “You know it. Vanilla.”
B. “Well... let me try chocolate.”
Arissa’s answers
A. “Again? Why don’t you try other flavors!”
B. “Oh chocolate? I thought you didn’t like chocolate.”
Phenelo: “It’s alright. Now go. And don’t forget the marshmallows.”
Arissa: “Roger that. I’ll go with strawberry. Be back in a minute! Don’t move!”
Phenelo: “Mmmkay...”
(Phenelo looks at Arissa until she turns left at the end of the alley.)
Phenelo: “Kids...”
3rd floor MACHORG Main Room, New Era University of Circuitry, Balskfort City, Drob 11: 49AM
(Caleb was sitting in one of the chairs.)
Caleb: “Phew... I don’t stand a chance.”
(He sighs.)
Caleb: “Kaii...”
(He looked up at the ceiling.)
Caleb: “Kaii... you are...one of a kind. I can’t say anything more about you. You... have... intruded my mind. Images of your face... keep... flashing everywhere... even when I sleep... I dream about you... I dream about touching your face... of holding your hand...”
(Caleb stood up. Unknowingly, Kaii was there. Standing in front of the room with the door open.)
Caleb: “I really... really... like you KAII!!!”
(Kaii was speechless. So did Caleb when he faced the door and saw the girl.)
Kaii: “. . .”
Caleb: “. . .”
(Caleb quickly ran out of the room.)
Kaii: “. . .”
Dr. Need’s Laboratory, Reisner Alley, Balskfort City, Drob 11:54AM
(Need is walking backwards. Getting a bigger picture of his invention.)
Dr. Need: “Its... done. IT’S DONE! MWAHAHAHAHA!”
(Someone entered the room. It was Syntrx, Need’s apprentice.)
Syntrx: “You did it, doctor.”
Dr. Need: “Oh, Syntrx. Yes. That’s right! My baby.. my baby is born again! ”
Syntrx: “It took you three months looking for the hardware pieces. And now it’s finally here in front of me, I can say you really are a great inventor.”
Dr. Need: “No need to flatter me. And you don’t need to say it, I KNOW IT! Uguahahahaha!” ← ayusin mo yan
(Syntrx giggled.)
Dr. Need: “Now all we need to do is to test it out.”
Syntrx: “Hmmm...”
Reisner Alley, Balskfort City, Drob 11:55AM
(Outside the laboratory, Phenelo was waiting for Arissa to come back.)
Phenelo: “What is taking her so long?”
(Phenelo looked at the edge of the alley, expecting for Arissa’s figure to appear at any moment. He sighed and decided to go back inside first.)
Phenelo: “Well...she’ll probably know that I’m inside so...”
(He turned his back. But then he was surprised an old man was behind him. Phenelo was stunned and cannot move.)
Phenelo: “. . .”
Old Man: “Rescue...plete...alla”
(He didn’t recognized what the old man said. Phenelo took two steps back, but the old man insisted and walked closer.)
Old Man: “My... child. Complete... the s-story. Rescue Nalla.”
Phenelo: “What are y-you talking ab-bout?”
Old Man: “Fill the con...tents with y..your dre...ams. Res..cue..my...land as it ha..s be..en foreto-told.”
(The old man handed Phenelo a dusty book. )
Old Man: “Here, take this. Save...”
Phenelo: “What’s this?”
(With all the puzzlement, Phenelo still looked at the book.)
Phenelo: “Na..lla? Hey! Hey! Can you ex-”
(When Phenelo lifted his head, he found that the old man disappeared)
Phenelo: “...plain.”
(Arissa came holding two waffle cones and a pack of marshmallows.)
Arissa: “Hey, brother!”
Phenelo: “Arissa...”
Arissa: “What happened to your face? You look surprised.”
Phenelo: “I am...shocked. Phew...”
Arissa: “What’s that funny thing you’re holding?”
Phenelo: “...oh this? Some old man gave it to me, but it seems he disappeared. He left so...abruptly.”
Arissa: “Huh? Weird. Anyways, why don’t we go inside to freshen up?”
Phenelo: “Wew... good idea.”
(The two go inside the laboratory)
Dr. Need’s Laboratory, Reisner Alley, Balskfort City, Drob 11:57AM
(Phenelo and Arissa entered the scene with Syntrx and Dr. Need asking one another. Need noticed the entrance of the two.)
Dr. Need: “GOOD TIMING! My fluffies? WHERE ARE THEY?”
Phenelo: “Here you go.”
(He threw a pack of marshmallows to Dr. Need)
Dr. Need: “Sweeet!”
Syntrx: “Phenelo, it seems that Doctor has finally rebuilt the machine.”
Phenelo: “I see... so it’s done.”
Dr. Need: “As you can see, I have no books here to... wait. What’s that thing on your side?”
Phenelo: “Oh, this?”
(Phenelo lifts the book.)
Phenelo: “Can’t really explain what-”
(Caleb entered the scene, running.)
Caleb: “Wew! Phen!”
Phenelo: “Al? What brings you here?”
Caleb: “Nothing... wew... just... struck by...”
Phenelo: “Hold that thought. We’re discussing something-”
(When he turned to face Need, the doctor is already holding the book.)
Dr. Need: “Let’s see what my baby can do with this...”
Phenelo: “Woah, woah, woah! You’re trying this book?”
Dr. Need: “Translogia. A state-of-the-art technology invention that can project stories from books and paper materials with realistic setting and effects. It’s your time to shine...”
Phenelo: “We don’t know what will happen...”
(Phenelo grabbed the book)
Phenelo: “But since I’m curious too, let me be the one to try it.”
Dr. Need: “Ho ho ho! That’s what I like about you, Phenelo!”
(Need puts a handful of fluffies in his mouth)
Dr. Need: “Syn, calibrate the controls! Get the Translogia ready for reading!”
Syntrx: “Got it!”
(Syntrx and the doctor ran ahead to the back part of the laboratory and arranged all the computers connected to the Translogia.)
Syntrx: “Systems UP!”
Dr. Need: “Initialized! Standby for reading!”
(Phenelo walked closer to the machine.)
Phenelo: “You might wanna stand back.”
(He said to Arissa and Caleb)
Caleb: “Arissa, let’s step away from the machine.”
Arissa: “Be careful, brother!”
(As Arissa was talking, Phenelo slowly put the book through an open compartment.)
Phenelo: “There’s nothing to worry abou-”
(Led lights surrounding the compartment turned to red. A rumble can be heard from the outside of the machine. Sudden rays of light shed from the machine’s gear.)
Phenelo: “!”
Caleb, Syntrx, Dr. Need: “!”
Arissa: “BROTHER! What’s happening?!”
(Strong winds begin to rush across the room. Lights from computers and ceilings flickered. Roots of electricity reflected from the chambers of the machine. A large, blue portal appeared in front Phenelo. The force from the portal is sucking him in.)
Phenelo: “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! HELP DOCTOR! ARISSAAAAA!”
Arissa: “BROTHER!”
(From the powerful force from the portal, the others cannot move from their positions. All they could do was watch Phenelo get sucked in the tube-shaped formation of light. In a matter of seconds, Phenelo disappeared.)
Caleb, Syntrx, Dr. Need: “. . .”
Arissa: “Brother? Brother??”
(Everyone was stunned with what had just happened. Arissa cried.)
Arissa: “BROTHER!!”
”Save your breath, Bastley.”
