(Zero & Ciel encounters Dr. Cain's laboratory in the former Maverick Hunter HQ) Ciel: This is amazing! This must be the laboratory of the legendary Dr. Cain. Zero: This place feels…familiar to me. (Reploid schematics found) Zero: Hmm? Is this some sort of blueprint? Ciel: That must be the schematics of a reploid. It is this data that led Dr. Cain to the creation of reploids. Zero: A testament to the creation of reploids. (Dr. Light's research data found) Ciel: What's this? It looks like a data compilation containing files of…Dr. Light. Zero: Who is Dr. Light? Ciel: I've read about him long ago! He is the one who created X. Dr. Cain must have obtained it in his creation of reploids. This is a big breakthrough! Zero: Huh. I didn't expect you to be surprised at all this. (X's capsule found) Zero: No way. That's-?! Ciel: The very capsule that once contained X for a hundred years. The capsule that Dr. Cain had excavated. (Dr. Cain's capsule) Zero: There's a capsule here. Looks like it's been active for a long time. Ciel: That one looks ancient, dating back to the Maverick Wars. But how could it still be running after so many years? ???: Because I've been watching you…for years…until now… Zero: ?!! Ciel: Wha-?! Who said that?! (Dr. Cain's hologram appears from the capsule) Dr. Cain: …… Ciel: Dr. Cain! Zero: Cain…? But…how? Dr. Cain: Zero! It has been…a long time since I last saw you. Though, you have changed physically. Ciel: It's good to meet you, Cain. Though we've met in this time of hardship. Dr. Cain: A human scientist in this new epoch? How remarkable that an intelligent person like you would still be this young. Ciel: But records show that you have perished during the beginning of the Maverick Wars. How could you see Zero after your death? Dr. Cain: I did indeed perish during Sigma's rebellion. But unaware to my colleagues, I've constructed a reploid copy of myself to act as leader of the Maverick Hunters. I've reassembled Zero with X's help and continued to aid the hunters. Zero: Now I remembered. You resigned after the end of the Great Repliforce War. Dr. Cain: Precisely, Zero. That is why you don't see me because my reploid copy had ceased. But I continued to watch you and X through cyberspace as a hologram. Ciel: You were the one who is responsible for the creation of reploids? Dr. Cain: Yes, young one. Thanks in part to X and all of Dr. Light's research. Every reploid was designed in X's image. Ciel: So that's why all reploids have considered X their master. Their design is based on him. Dr. Cain: Yes. I found X's capsule during my excavation. You see, I created reploids with X's help. One of them was Sigma, who would later stage a revolt against humanity with an army of mavericks. As years passed, reploids continued to evolve along with the development of the Next Generation Reploids. It fascinates me of how much developed and advanced they have become years later. Ciel: But what about the Maverick Hunters, the organization you founded? Dr. Cain: I don't know, but after the so-called Elf Wars they have likely been decommissioned. Through my observation, some of them formed a new nation around X. They formed a utopia where reploids and humans coexist. Zero: Neo Arcadia. Ciel: But now that utopia has started to attack innocent reploids, retiring a lot of lives. Dr. Cain: I saw it, too. Too many lives have perished here. This Neo Arcadia grew out from the Maverick Hunters, until they went maverick themselves. But surely X would never have gone maverick, could it? Ciel: It was my fault, Cain. I created a copy of X to replace him as ruler. But that copy has started to persecute every reploid unjustly ever since the energy crisis. Dr. Cain: I see. I'm just glad that X hasn't turned maverick at that time. Zero: And I'm here to stop them from retiring many innocent lives. Dr. Cain: Zero, you never ceased to amaze at how you are going many lengths to carry on X's legacy. I am willing to help you in upgrading your skills. You can find capsules like this throughout the map. If you find one, I will install upgrades into you. Ciel: I'm glad you chose to help us, Cain. Dr. Cain: I am always here to assist you. You may use my lab to develop upgrades and weapons, though it needs proper maintenance. Please, take a copy of my data for you. I'm sure that this will help you stand against Neo Arcadia's aggression. Zero: Thanks, Dr. Cain. Dr. Cain: Farewell, for now. Good luck, Zero. (Dr. Cain disappears) Ciel: Great! Now we can repurpose his lab for the resistance. (Dr. Cain's laboratory unlocked. Zero can now develop weapons and upgrades)
Oh wow!
This is great!
