0x3a11: | Ahhhh! |
0x3a18: | What's wrong? |
0x3a26: | Look! A monster! |
0x3a37: | What's his problem? |
0x3a4b: | It's a mummy! |
0x3a59: | Hey, it's one of those Easter Island faces! |
0x3a85: | Everybody's looking at me... |
0x3aa2: | Gillian, you've still got the mask on. |
0x3ac9: | Oops! You're right. |
0x3add: | Please, get a grip on yourself. |
0x3afd: | Sorry about that...there we go, now it's off. |
0x3b2b: | That's the second time, you know. |
0x3b4d: | Just a little joke, you know. There we go, now it's off. |
0x3b86: | We're at Plato's Cavern. |
0x3b9f: | Ah, It's that logo...I get it. |
0x3bbe: | It's more like a small city than one store. Everything in this area appears to be part of Plato's Cavern. |
0x3c29: | Hey! Get outta the way! Don't just stand there in the middle of the road! |
0x3c73: | Ouch! |
0x3c79: | Move it! Don't be standing around in a place like this. |
0x3cb1: | Yaaah! |
0x3cb8: | Get outta the road! You're blocking traffic! C'mon! Move it! |
0x3cf5: | Whew! This is a terrible place. |
0x3d15: | Gillian, let's leave this place as soon as we can. |
0x3d48: | Gillian, I think we should get away from here. |
0x3d77: | Gillian, please hurry up and take care of what you need to do. |
0x3db6: | ...please finish what you came to do so we can leave. |
0x3dec: | Metal, let's try that store over there. |
0x3e14: | W..wait for me! |
0x3e24: | The whole place is crawling with rather questionable types... |
0x3e62: | Gillian, try to avoid making eye contact with anybody around here. |
0x3ea5: | This sure does not seem like Japan... |
0x3ecb: | Somebody over there is calling... |
0x3eed: | ...can't they move? |
0x3f01: | It's "live art". It's really popular at the moment. |
0x3f35: | "Live art?" |
0x3f41: | It's a form of performance where the artists recreate famous paintings on the street using their bodies. |
0x3faa: | That must be...Munch's "The Scream". |
0x3fcf: | That's the logo for "Plato's Cavern". |
0x3ff5: | A black market with billboards...they're pretty daring. |
0x402d: | It's one of those unwritten understandings... |
0x405b: | Look at all these people. It's just like the black markets after the war. |
0x40a6: | There are a lot of dangerous looking customers milling about. |
0x40e4: | This is a black market, in the true sense of the word. |
0x411b: | Some people seem to be engaged in barter. |
0x4145: | No way! I'm frightened. You go ahead! |
0x416c: | Everybody who cannot get a permit is here. Apparently, money is all you need to make a purchase. |
0x41ce: | It will not do any good to investigate. These people have no permits, so there is no data on them. They are the city's illegal citizens. |
0x4259: | Is it my imagination, or does that look something like the Konami logo? |
0x42a1: | They're all probably under the same management. |
0x42d1: | It's a collection of black market shops, lining the streets. It's like a commune. |
0x4324: | The roads are crowded with street vendors and stalls. |
0x435a: | They're sticking out from the stores. |
0x4380: | There are a lot of food stands. |
0x43a0: | Pizza, sushi, hamburgers, hot dogs, Neo Kobe pizza... |
0x43d8: | Neo Kobe pizza? What's that? |
0x43f5: | It's a new type of pizza where you drop your favorite pizza into a special, boiling soup. |
0x444f: | And that's Neo Kobe pizza? I wonder if it's any good? |
0x4485: | What do you mean? Its appearance has almost put the other food vendors out of business! |
0x44dd: | What is that street vendor selling? |
0x4501: | Well...er, you know. |
0x4516: | Hmm? Something dangerous? |
0x4530: | Well.... |
0x4539: | Gillian, tell me! |
0x454b: | Umm, you see.. I just couldn't help but stare at the gorgeous curves on that...street vendor's cart over there. |
0x45bc: | I didn't realize you had a latent appliance fetish, Gillian. |
0x45f9: | I don't ever want to see one of those Neo Kobe pizza things again... |
0x463e: | Mmm. Smells good. |
0x4651: | <<sniff, sniff>> |
0x4662: | I'm getting a little hungry... |
0x4681: | I'm feeling hungry. |
0x4695: | Why don't we try Neo Kobe pizza? |
0x46b6: | Hmmm. Sounds good. |
0x46ca: | That scent is coming from the food vendors. Smells good, doesn't it. |
0x4710: | We're inside Plato's Cavern. |
0x472d: | May I help you? Oh! It's you! |
0x474b: | How 'bout that mask? I bet you're glad you bought it! |
0x4781: | May I help you? |
0x4791: | Thank you for visiting our store today. Here at Plato's Cavern... |
0x47d4: | Now paging Mr. Michael Kenyon. Michael Kenyon, please report to the customer service desk... |
0x4832: | Our store features a full-range of buying and selling services, with absolutely no identification required... |
0x48a0: | As such, there are no official records of your transactions. That way, you can rest assured that... |
0x4904: | Metal, let's head out. |
0x491b: | Thanks again! Come back soon! |
0x4939: | My goodness, they really do have quite a selection. One can probably find anything here. |
0x4993: | It's sort of a "fortress of consumerism". They might have a bigger selection than the legitimate shops. |
0x49fb: | Given the fact that most customers are keeping their faces concealed, it would appear that they don't want to be seen here. |
0x4a77: | Well, it is a black market. If somebody photographed them or something, they could get in trouble. |
0x4adb: | He seems very unusual. Be careful, Gillian. |
0x4b08: | Unusual? What about you? What is that you're wearing, anyway? |
0x4b46: | Chinese, Hispanic, Mongolian, Ainu, Korean...it's a real melting pot of races here. |
0x4b9a: | I hear quite a number of different languages being spoken. Typical Neo Kobe... |
0x4bea: | From cradles to graves, they sell everything here. |
0x4c1d: | There are piles of electronic appliances and components, and scrap parts. |
0x4c67: | I suppose the Akihabara district in Tokyo used to be like this. |
0x4ca7: | I have heard that Harry often comes out to pick up scrap parts. |
0x4ce7: | Oh my! They have those special full-face masks here. |
0x4d1c: | They don't have the space for a proper display. A lot of things are just stuck on the walls. |
0x4d7a: | It's kinda like a bar in here. |
0x4d99: | There is only one left. |
0x4db1: | The Easter Island face is the only one left. |
0x4dde: | The mummy mask is the only one left. |
0x4e03: | Look! They have masks of Egyptian mummies and those Easter Island faces as well. They seem to be very well made. |
0x4e74: | You've got an eye for fine art, my friend. Those are our pride and joy, our special full-face masks. |
0x4eda: | I'm afraid that's all we have left... |
0x4f00: | They have masks of those Easter Island faces and mummies. |
0x4f3a: | It will take all year to try to completely investigate this place. |
0x4f7d: | The mountains of stock are overpowering. It's almost difficult to tell the goods and the garbage apart. |
0x4fe6: | He really seems to be on his guard. He may have a concealed weapon. Perhaps we should not search him. |
0x504e: | This individual is working in a black market shop, Gillian. He is probably used to "rough stuff". Perhaps we should leave him alone. |
0x50d4: | All the customers seem to be rather suspicious types. I don't think investigating them will do any good. |
0x513e: | We don't want to start any trouble here. Let's leave them alone. |
0x5180: | New products, used items, stolen goods, samples...It looks like one can find anything in here. |
0x51df: | Even high-class luxury items are available, but they are being sold at about half the price of the legitimate shops. |
0x5254: | These masks were designed and crafted by the famous make-up effects artist Rick Bakery. They are formed using precision laser tools. |
0x52da: | They are made from special forms of rubber and polyurethane. |
0x5317: | It would be kinda nice to have one of those... |
0x5346: | Wouldn't it? Aren't these beautifully made? |
0x5372: | What do you think? I bet you'd love this. |
0x539c: | These are limited production replicas, you know. Pass it up now and you'll never get a second chance. |
0x5403: | I've told ya' everything I know. |
0x5424: | That guy was always in here...said he liked antiques or something... |
0x5469: | But I don't know...lately he seemed like he was here for something else. |
0x54b2: | I think he was staking somebody out. Come to think of it, he was always asking about sunscreen, too... |
0x551a: | I think he was staking somebody out. Come to think of it, he was always asking about sunscreen, too... |
0x5582: | He's just a customer. I don't know anything about him, personally. |
0x55c6: | Who's this guy? |
0x55d6: | Are you looking for somebody? |
0x55f4: | Well, this is the place! So's the place next door. And the one next to that. This whole area is under one management. |
0x566c: | You can't ever forget this place once you visit! It's a big toy box for adults. |
0x56bc: | Well, you seem to know your stuff. It's about Outer Heaven, right? |
0x5700: | Hey! We got some weird stuff in here but we don't do buffalo! It's against international law... |
0x5760: | Buffalo? Nah, we don't handle it. You get caught sellin' that and nobody will see ya' for a while. I don't think anybody around here sells it. |
0x57ef: | Where'd you get that? |
0x5805: | Well, you know. |
0x5815: | Really? Well you know your stuff. "Outer Heaven" is that really hot masquerade club. |
0x586d: | These full-face masks of ours are sold under an exclusive arrangement with "Outer Heaven", you know. |
0x58d2: | During their masquerade time, you have to have one of our masks or you can't get in! |
0x5927: | Their shows are really great, too. Top-class guest dancers... Why don't you check it out? |
0x5982: | Now that you've got one of our masks, you're practically one of their members. |
0x59d1: | I've told you everything I know. |
0x59f2: | Hmmm. A little guy with a beard maybe? He was in here with some guy who looked Jewish...they bought 'em all. A whole box of 'em... |
0x5a77: | Maybe they're starting their own business... |
0x5aa4: | It's ready as is. No assembly or painting required. The artist himself paints and finishes every one of these hand-crafted beauties. |
0x5b2b: | If you put this on, you'll really surprise everybody. |
0x5b61: | Those ones with the animatronics and stuff are too gimmicky, know what I mean? These are the real state of the art... |
0x5bd7: | Do you sell those model PC68 personal computers here? |
0x5c0d: | No, not anymore. We had a few of those years ago, but they're long gone. |
0x5c57: | All those weird collector guys bought 'em up. |
0x5c85: | Those are real collector's items, you know. I haven't seen one in a long time. |
0x5cd5: | Sorry, we don't have any stock right now. |
0x5cff: | I don't know when we'll be getting any more of those in. |
0x5d38: | Hey! You can't buy that with money, you know. |
0x5d66: | Jeez... in this day and age? If there's no buyers, there's no sellers, eh? |
0x5db2: | You just bought one, didn't you? |
0x5dd3: | But you already have one. |
0x5ded: | A full-face mask, eh? Which one will it be? |
They're all so good. Hand-made by Rick Bakery himself, you know. | |
0x5e5c: | Thank you very much. One mummy mask coming up. |
0x5e8c: | Thanks. That will be 2000 credits, please. |
0x5eb8: | Thank you very much, One Easter Island mask coming up. |
0x5eef: | Thanks. That will be 1500 credits, please. |
0x5f1b: | I've been in this business for a long time. That's a replica, isn't it? |
0x5f64: | What's that? You won't get any money for that. |
0x5f93: | Hey, you're rich! What's stopping ya'? Just keep right on buying! |
0x5fd5: | Hey! Cash! We love cash-paying customers. |
0x5fff: | If you got that much on you, there's nothing here you can't afford. |
0x6043: | What's that? The real estate classifieds or something? |
0x607a: | What, a key? You wanna sell that? You won't get even one credit for that thing. |
0x60ca: | A chess piece, eh? Those things aren't popular anymore at all... |
0x610b: | Huh? A 5-inch disk, eh? We sell those, but you need a PC68 to read and write on 'em. |
0x6160: | Yeah. We sell that here. |
0x617a: | I've told you everything I know. |
0x619b: | I'm sure I've seen this guy, but I don't remember anything else... |
0x61de: | What? You know him? |
0x61f2: | Wait a second... I've seen this guy somewhere... |
0x6224: | Oh.. what was this guy's name... uh.. |
0x624b: | Who, this guy? He comes here all the time. |
0x6276: | That's right. He bought some sunscreen here just the other day. |
0x62b7: | Wait a second... I've seen this guy somewhere... |
0x62e9: | Nah. Maybe I'm just imagining things. |
0x6310: | Oh. That looks great on you. |
0x632e: | Thanks a lot. We sell that here. |
0x6350: | You're already wearing it. Do you want to remove it? |
0x6386: | Yeah. I think I'll take it off. |
0x63a7: | Nah. I think I'll leave it on for a while. |
0x63d3: | Let's try this thing on...there we go! |
0x63fa: | Just your size. And it looks great on you! |
0x6426: | Hmmm. It's not even stuffy in here. Has great air circulation. |
0x6467: | Gillian, please don't wear that here. It looks bad... |
0x649e: | Hey, lay off me will ya'? I like this thing... |
0x64cd: | Are you going to put that thing on again? You must have this strong inner urge to transform yourself into something else. |
0x6547: | Shazoom! Pow! Super Transformation! |
0x656b: | .......... |
0x6576: | Gillian, I think you have had enough fun for now... |
0x65aa: | Gillian, this is a black market shop. We should not use the videophone in here. |
0x65fb: | There's too much interference from all the things in here. We cannot use the videophone. |
0x6655: | Hmm. He's a pretty open kind of guy. |
0x667b: | .......... |
0x6686: | That's right... How about a Santa Claus outfit? |
0x66b7: | We're moving a lot of these right now. "Tis the season, you know". |
0x66fb: | A Santa suit? Don't need one of those... |
0x6724: | ...we've got Santa Claus' toy bags, too. |
0x674d: | Oh, don't need one, eh? |
0x6765: | The world's getting weirder all the time. This stuff is selling really good in the middle of the winter... |
0x67d1: | The other day, we had this Chinese doctor in here. He bought out our whole stock of it... |
0x682e: | I don't get it, man. How come they want sunscreen in the middle of the winter? |
0x687e: | Maybe it's some weird fad...sunscreen in the middle of the winter. |
0x68c1: | Oh... there's something on the floor. |
0x68e8: | What is it? |
0x68f4: | It's a video tape. |
0x6907: | A video tape? |
0x6915: | You know, the recording medium for a video tape recorder. Images are stored and read using heads on a magnetic tape surface. It's the technology that was widely used before compact lasers were developed. |
0x69e2: | Can we play it back? |
0x69f7: | I'm afraid not. The hardware to play it on no longer exists. |
0x6a35: | That's too bad. For some reason I was taking quite an interest in this thing... |
0x6a86: | That's your Junker ID. It gives you all your special privileges. Take good care of it. |
0x6ade: | That's the expense money that the agency gave you. |
0x6b11: | That's the memo in which Gibson told you the whereabouts of the computer data explaining about the SNATCHER'S weak point. |
0x6b8b: | I wonder what "Search the house!" means? |
0x6bb4: | That's the key to Gibson's desk. |
0x6bd5: | It's an exceptionally old antique. |
0x6bf8: | That's the chess piece that Gibson had. |
0x6c20: | It's the chess piece that we found in Gibson's coat. |
0x6c55: | That's the floppy which contains data on the SNATCHER'S weak point. |
0x6c99: | That's a floppy disk for a personal computer. |
0x6cc7: | That's the sunscreen that the SNATCHERS are using...if Gibson's theory is right. |
0x6d18: | And we've found out what we needed at Plato's Cavern. |
0x6d4e: | It's ordinary sunscreen. There's a sticker with the logo of the store where it was purchased on it. |
0x6db3: | That's the mask that you bought at Plato's Cavern. |
0x6de6: | That's an Easter Island statue mask. |
0x6e0b: | That's a mummy mask. |
0x6e20: | That's a picture of Jean Jack Gibson. |
0x6e46: | That's the montage that we built using witnesses' testimony. |
0x6e83: | It has an IC chip built-in which contains all of your personal data. |
0x6ec8: | In principle, you are allowed to charge the Agency for as much money as is necessary for your investigation. |
0x6f35: | That's the memo that Jean left. |
0x6f55: | It's written on ordinary paper. It's definitely in Jean's handwriting. |
0x6f9c: | That's the key to Gibson's desk in the Detective's Room. |
0x6fd5: | What could this key be? I don't believe there are still any places which use keys like that. |
0x7032: | That's a wooden chess piece. I believe it's the one which goes next to the King. |
0x7084: | That's a wooden chess piece. |
0x70a1: | That's the disk with Gibson's notes in it. |
0x70cc: | That's a 5-inch floppy disk. |
0x70e9: | On the bottle it says "The store with everything: Plato's Cavern". |
0x712c: | It definitely looks like it was being sold at Plato's Cavern. |
0x716a: | We might learn something if we check out the place this was bought. |
0x71ae: | It's a special, high-detail mask, hand-crafted by the popular Rick Bakery. |
0x71f9: | That's a picture of Jean Jack Gibson. |
0x721f: | That's a composite, 2-D photograph assembled from Jordan's 3-D data. |
0x7264: | It was taken from the chess set at Jean's home. What could it mean? |
0x72a9: | Jean really liked puzzles. |
0x72c4: | This must have some secret meaning. |
0x72e8: | Jeez, this really looks like Ivan. |
0x730b: | You have to be impressed by Alpha-One's search capabilities. |
0x7348: | The house? Come to think of it, I don't have a house to come home to. |
0x738e: | Do not get so depressed, Gillian. You'll be able to live with Jamie again sometime. |
0x73e2: | A home and family, eh? Those may not go along too well with being a Junker. |
0x742e: | We still have enough left to do a little shopping, don't we? |
0x746b: | There is considerably less since you gorged yourself, however. |
0x74aa: | Don't be so stingy. That was necessary for the investigation, right? |
0x74f0: | Only buy what is absolutely necessary in order to carry out your investigation, all right? |
0x754b: | Okay, okay... (but it never works out that way, does it?) |
0x7586: | Gillian, you probably shouldn't be showing off that around here. |
0x75c7: | Yeah, people might panic. |
0x75e1: | That's exactly right. |
0x75f7: | There is nobody to show it to. |
0x7616: | All right, I'll save everything that has happened up until now. |
0x7656: | Which file number would you like to save it in? |
0x7686: | This file contains data from a previous save. |
0x76b4: | Is it okay for me to overwrite it with the new data? |
0x76eb: | In that case, I won't write the new data there. |
0x771b: | This file contains data from a previous save. |
0x7749: | Is it okay for me to overwrite it with the new data? |
0x7780: | In that case, I won't write the new data there. |
0x77b0: | This file contains data from a previous save. |
0x77de: | Is it okay for me to overwrite it with the new data? |
0x7815: | In that case, I won't write the new data there. |
0x7845: | This file contains data from a previous save. |
0x7873: | Is it okay for me to overwrite it with the new data? |
0x78aa: | In that case, I won't write the new data there. |
