Regulus: Hold tight!
Lilya: St! There's nothing we can do!
Lilya: We have another ten minutes tops before this ship sinks like a stone!
Sonetto: … 60% of the left cabin has been flooded, as well as 75% of the right cabin.
Sonetto: The ship cannot survive such a ferocious storm. Timekeeper, we should get ready for evacuation.
Vertin: Hm. Prepare the Teleport soft disk.
Regulus: Wait, what're you talking about? Are we going to abandon the ship?!
Regulus: These are just some breezes and ripples! Won't last longer than a blink of an eye! Just hold on to the wheel, and we'll …
Here comes a big wave.
Sonetto: Hmm. That sounds like the turbine just cracked.
Lilya: Great, so only two minutes left.
Regulus: A true captain will never abandon her ship!
Regulus: I have sworn to live and die with Rockin' APPLe, the second of its name!
Lilya: Then why is it the "second"?
Regulus: ...
From behind her sunglasses Regulus's gaze drifts into the distance.
Regulus: Dn it! Sotheby just bought us this ship.
Regulus: I racked my brains to think of all the assurances I could give to get that governess off my back!
APPLe: I think it's better for us to embrace the fact that all things would come to an end, Captain.
???: Sometimes, deserting is to leave for another battlefield.
The rain washes the radio shell. The flower on top, which was once well cared for, now droops with weariness.
Regulus stares at that flower blankly. Then, her eyes widen as she suddenly realizes something.
Regulus: Oh, you are one to talk about deserting!
Regulus: If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have ended up like this in the middle of the ...
Sonetto: Timekeeper, we have an emergency.
Sonetto: The Teleport soft disk can't be activated.
Sonetto: I've tried other contingency teleport incantations, but none of them worked in this area, neither did the communicator.
Sonetto: It's as if something is jamming the signal.
Vertin: I see.
Vertin: I have a question for you, Sonetto.
Sonetto: Please, Timekeeper.
Vertin: Hmm.
Vertin: In the Field Mission Evacuation Instructions, apart from the part about "asking the Timekeeper for help" …
Vertin: Is there anyone else we can reach out to for rescue?
Sonetto: ...
Lilya: Er, seriously, Vertin?
Regulus: Hahahaha!
Without hesitation, Regulus pounces on Ms. Radio immediately.
Regulus: I see what's going on now. This is a trap!
Regulus: And you are behind all these! It is you who played that nonsense travel note from 1999 ...
Regulus: ... and lured us into this random sea, in order to torture us, afflict us, and now feed us to the fish!
Regulus: Go ahead. Give us the wicked villain laugh, you Manus mole! Quit playing innocent here!
???: I, I don't know. I mean no harm!
Regulus: Ahahah, nice try! See what else you got to say when this Pirate opens your battery cover and finds "Made in Manus" there!
???: Please do not shake me *@#...
???: If ... If I broadcast How to Clean Kitchen Appliances for you now, will it brighten up your mood?
Regulus: Like hell, it will! Can't you see? My ship is going down! Along with my record collection and your battery cover! To the bottom of the sea!For good!
Regulus: Even John Lennon can't do anything about it now!
???: I'm terribly sorry. I can't see. I could only touch, hear, and imagine ...
???: How about this program, Lesson 101: The Express Route to Heaven One Shouldn't Miss? I think it would serve you better.
Regulus: Aaarrh! I can't stand this anymore!
Regulus: My records, my Dr. Pappers, my pirate radio, my Rockin' APPLe Ⅱ!
Regulus: For crying out loud, what have I done to deserve this!
A soothing song comes on the radio.
Vertin: Well, she did try her best to pick the music.
Vertin: Though no one is in the mood, I think this piece is not bad.
Vertin: As to Regulus's question ...
Vertin: We need to slightly twiddle this knob.
Vertin: To ... 1913.
