[there's a moment of silence at first from Mao debating whether he really wanted to post this or not. Part of him had just wanted to exit out and delete the message even after he'd started recording. However, as you can see, it seems he decided to go ahead and go through with it. Whether this will turn out to be a good thing or not he doesn't really know]

You think... everything out there really is gone?

[cowardly_hero]

Whaddya mean? What's gone?

[drillsanddrool]

I looked through some of the older messages. First one of those Doctor guys said that he couldn't find anything outside of this castle place, then a note straight from the Organization saying something about the seams of worlds unraveling.

I'm just saying it doesn't look good.

[cowardly_hero]

Well, there's gotta be somethin' out... there, right? I mean, where else did we come from?

And what's this about worlds and seams? Worlds have seams?

... what's a seam?

[drillsanddrool]

It's like what puts it together. Meaning that worlds out there might be just... falling apart, however that works.

[evil_ditto]

Shouldn't you be the one who's gone?

[Permaprivate]

[drillsanddrool]

Oh. You're not dead?

[evil_ditto]

I should be the one asking you that!

[drillsanddrool]

I guess that's your fault for not checking for a body, isn't it?

Anyway, I have a score to settle with you for destroying my specimen abductors.

[maybeimaleon]

We came from somewhere.

[drillsanddrool]

Yeah, but it doesn't mean it's still there. People get here from different times, don't they?

[maybeimaleon]

What's saying we can't go back to different times?

[drillsanddrool]

What's saying that'll matter if everything will just end up destroyed later?

( voice )

[inflation]

All in due time.

[drillsanddrool]

Huh? Who the hell are you?

[divine_storm]

Of course not! That's still the stupidest thing I've ever heard!

[drillsanddrool]

What's so stupid about it? There's more working for that theory than against it.

[divine_storm]

No there's not! People are still coming here, aren't they? If everything was gone, then that would be it!

... and people wouldn't be able to go home either...

[magicissrsbznz]

According to what few readings I can get through my Device, there might be something to all of that. There's something weird happening out there, anyway.

Matter that's fallen into hyperspace is... lost. It isn't destroyed, but that's about all we know for sure. I hope that isn't what's happening here. And I can't raise the Arthra. This isn't good...

[drillsanddrool]

So it's true, huh? Tch... As long as my netherworld's still there.

["I don't really know" was about to be his first answer to that, but it was a little too obvious. Not to mention not exactly helping anyone. It was time to move above that.]

[His voice sounded rather hesitant.] We won't know that until we beat them, right?

[drillsanddrool]

Then I'll beat him until he fixes everything up!

[trademark_skull]

[Paaaause.]

That better be enough to fix everything.

[sir_doctor]

I really don't want to believe it, but...

More or less, yes. I've run numerous scans and while I have found what might be a couple small planets and maybe some space debris... that's it. There should be more than that--LOTS more.

[drillsanddrool]

Only a few left... Damn...!

[sir_doctor]

Assuming the masses are actually planets, of course. They could even be just a couple large moons. I still can't get a clear enough scan. [He speaks with a great deal of grim-ness... he doesn't like what this is all suggesting at all... ]
