Blame! Page #4

If there were any humans like that,

then this city would have been

made functional again ages ago.

But I've got something good.

Killy, take me to the automated factory.

Automated factory?

What's that?

Who knows.

If you take me to the automated factory,

I'll make you a synthetic terminal

that has the same effect

as the Net Terminal Gene.

You don't believe me, do you?

But it's true.

That thing there...

that's actually the wreckage

of a synthetic terminal that I made.

There's a connection port beneath it.

When we found a connection port

to the NetSphere here,

we surrounded the area with an electric

barrier to keep the Safeguard

from invading, and started experiments.

To keep the Safeguard from invading?

The experiments were successful.

We got all the way

to the entrance to the Authority.

But then we were found

by their defense mechanisms...

and you can see what happened.

Did you... communicate with the Authority?

No, we couldn't.

But we analyzed information

coming through the counter-current

and found a channel we can use to get in.

So, given another chance,

I can definitely succeed.

I have no idea...

what she's talking about.

Hey, you!

Yes?

Just now,

you said you did something to keep

the Safeguard from invading, right?

Does that mean you set up this perimeter?

That's right.

- How exactly did you do a thing like that?

- Killy, move that rubble out of the way.

That's an electric barrier generator

I made.

Thanks to that, we ran our experiments

- without interruptions from the Safeguard.

- Connect?

If you can do that,

you can give orders to the city?

That's right.

Long ago, all humans had

the Net Terminal Gene

and they could all do it.

I can't believe it.

How could humans do a thing like that?

But it's true, they really could.

We tried to re-create that ability

artificially using machines.

To stop the city running wild.

If we go to the automated factory

I can make another terminal.

Come on, Killy.

Your goal is the same as mine, isn't it?

You want to bring the city back

under human control, right?

Yes.

Then it's decided.

Let's go right away!

Hey, wait.

Where is this automated factory thing?

In a section far east of here.

About 15 blocks away.

Fifteen blocks.

That'd take two or three days.

Could we help as well?

- Pops.

- Sutezo.

What these people are trying to do

might end up saving our village.

Did you really believe all of that?

Either way, things are growing worse

in the village.

It won't be long before we make a decision

to leave the perimeter

or stay inside and starve.

So... don't you think it's worth

taking a chance?

That may be so...

but if we go east for 15 blocks...
