"Where Machimos had been built with a practical sort of elegance, Anostos resembled a vast blot upon the ocean blue horizon. The mass of chains and anchors corrupted the mountain of coral beneath the city, giving it the appeal of some tentacled behemoth that blighted the land around it. The horrid yellow lights certain indicated the massive city had power, but the sickly glow it gave could have only meant that any civilization within had long met with some horrendous plague..."

Shattered Hero REKINDLED ~ Origins of the Ink Demon : Episode Maka Pt.28 ~
??? : Mrs. Albarn? Mrs Albarn. Maka Albarn, time to for you to be waken up.
Maka Albarn : Huh? What time is it?
??? : You've been asleep for hours, but before you continued on your journey on becoming a hero, you went into yourself a coma. according to my caculations, you were heavily knocked out.
Maka Albarn : Knocked out? How long have I been knocked out or...Eh?
(sees Pete in front of her)
Maka Albarn : AAAH!
*SFX : CRASH*
[Comedy by Hideaki Kobayashi plays]
Maka Albarn : What the--? What is this thing?
Pete : Do not to be harmed, you are safe at here. I am Pete, nice to meet you. I am a unit that serve to the GUARDIANS.
Maka Albarn : You're name's pete? Say...How did I get here in space?
Pete : Someone has brought you here while you were knocked out cold.
Maka Albarn : Wait...Who brought me here, what is even is this place?
Pete : Why...? This is the barracks of the Guardians, you are more than welcome. Seto from Hang Castle told me all about you, you are Maka Albarn, the girl who wanted to become hero.
Maka Albarn : Ah yes. I see. So, I ended in another Sonic Team World. Is this whole world of PSU Sonic Team related?
Pete : That is quite true.
Maka Albarn : Heh. I guess that being in a Sonic Team title does sound fitting, but it makes nervous that this whole world of PSU is a Sonic Team world.
Pete : Not just this world, but a special world that is populated by the four races of the Gurhal System.
Maka Albarn : [realizing] Is this place really...the Gurhal System!?
Pete : So...Now that we found on the daily basis for an immediate rescue, what are your choices on showing around the colony? Would like to see the details on how did you manage to bring up the solution around the Guardians Colony?
Maka Albarn : Colony? Guardians Colony? Now I'm really confusin...I see your point tho. I guess I might take a spin around this whole place of a MMO. (hears door opening)
[My Room by Hideaki Kobayashi]
Pete : Ethan, glad that you're back.
Ethan Waber : Hey, Pete. I just got back from mission. Looks like the rouges are easily forgiven, guess those pick-pockets are really mean something to their leader or captain I might say.
Maka Albarn : Sorry for the intrusion. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Maka Albarn, a girl from San Francisco. And you must be...
Ethan : My name's Ethan Waber, I'm with the Guardians. And you must be that girl who resides in San Francisco. Maka was it?
Maka Albarn : Yeah.
(greets him by shaking hands)
Maka Albarn : You are the guy who wants to save gurhal, but you're new to Sonic Team, Sonic Team on earth, right?
Ethan Waber : Gladly that you'd figured it out, kid. I just heard some recent news that Sonic's co-creator left company before we began as a Sonic Team title, but before the worst part could even happen, it's going to be a major downgrade for him.
Maka Albarn : Oh yeah, the 06 game. The worst game that has ever done by the company, I hopefully won't notice that the Solaris Incident would be the story of that "Incident". The industry's hard on him.
Ethan Waber : Yeah, that sounds pretty much to me. I guess Sonic has learned anything from his mistakes, but he did, he discovered that Sonic 06 would be a total failure while the true incident was about another robotnik that is from the future 200 years turning his world into a card. I mean who want to turn the entire planet into a card?
Maka Albarn : *nods* Mhm. Perhaps his descendant of course, he wants revenge on the Robotnik family, never why that happened since the Black Arms invasion of 2005.
Ethan Waber : That Eggman Nega scum was such a smart ass. He's the one that trying to put the blame on his relative from the past. According to the Sol Princess, he was the arch enemy to Silver the Hedgehog who was going to bring him to justice for all the crimes he have committed, but if it's true...I won't let Mr. Sonic down, even though he is the greatest star of our company.
Maka Albarn : You do?
Ethan Waber : Trust me. It's just a minor setback before the Time Eater and the girl would eventually erase that incident nowadays. They're saying that this new era thing was about them rewriting worlds and rewrite history. It's like retcon the plot with a brand new start.
Maka Albarn : I see. *gulps* It's all coming down to me...If only I had the chance to make Shinra happy again...But now...everyone the world thinks that I am their enemy.
Ethan Waber : Don't sweat it, kid. You got yourself lucky. You're the only girl who wants to be a hero like me. But remember. This hero stuff is really dangerous and is considered to be a job for us to do all of the hero work to ourselves.
Ethan Waber : But if you need time to talk or have a little entourage with the others, don't get yourself too cocky for it. This is a hero's work that is needed to be done.
(starts leaving his room)
Ethan Waber : See you at the city.
Maka Albarn : (sighs with relief) Thank goodness. I guess I only needed something to think about if Seto would pick me up from the colony. I still needed to buy some time. Hopefully. I wonder where did that Time traveler ran off somewhere. She was at the future city of Sonic's World, but still why bothering of why did she lives in a bad future where the population is empty or even living in a world of eternal darkness?
(images of Angel Chaos are shown)
Maka Albarn : Of course...future me was there and I was killed by the hands of the time traveler. I was the future me that was targeted and became the fully resurrected Angel Chaos. The Angel Chaos that is me...Yeah right. No sense of luck that ever happens.
*Back at during the time at Babylon Garden*
Nozomi Kaminashi : [To Jet] Sorry to break it to ya, bird brain. We just had to make these scrap brains on a screw loose.
[pans to the demolished E-10000]
E-10000R : THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE.
Sonic : Now that we won the race together as a team, I finally found some wings that I can fly, these hoverboards do work in the future.
Jet : Okay then fine! Are you happy now? I lost and that's fine by me. I didn't need your pity, especially that human girl. I have no idea on how did you manage to get someone on the attention of winning a race in a tie like that. But who won?
Sonic : That was me, with the help of my human friend.
Nozomi Kaminashi : Yeah.
Leo : Mr. Sonic.
Sonic : GUARDIANS. That was a gutsy move back there.
Leo : Looks like that arch-nemesis of yours had plenty of nuts and bolts to fall apart. Hopefully, we did a number on them.
Lou : All enemy targets have been neutralized.
Leo : So these robot guys were after the two racers that accidentally punched their leader's face. Talk about a misunderstanding, but only an idiot would make the robot go mad when it's programmed to bring payback on the two.
Lou : So apparently, the seven chaos emeralds have disappeared somewhere but on the other hand, someone manage to collect before you guys would go get them in the special stages. Pretty much for our feathered friend here that the emeralds' power has triggered this hi-tech spacecraft to be awakened for a longtime.
Leo : Heh. How's that for a typical racer that knows about feathered birds and giant spaceships?
Leo : Hmm? Lou, what is it? What are you reading?
Lou : I detect a pressence coming from somewhere?
Vivienne's voice : Lou. Do it for me, Lou.
Lou : Ah...!? That voice...
Vivienne's Voice : Do it for me...Please, do it for me, and my heart.
Lou : Vivienne...
Leo : Lou? You feeling something?
Lou : Oh nothing. It was just a minor error. But the pressence I feel is coming from inside the building of the spacecraft.
Leo : How can you know about the pressence inside the building of the spacecraft?
Lou : It is the treasure, the treasure is inside, but I detect a high-security level that a program is guarding the ship's systems. It must've triggered an unknown-defense mechanism from it's computer.
Leo : What? So the treasure inside the building.
Lou : Is being protected by a guardian.
Leo : Then who is the guardian?
*RUMBLING*
Babylon Guardian : (Growls loudly)
[cues Digital Dimension's theme by Fumie Kumatani]
Leo : That noise! It appears the spacecraft's defense system as activated another type of defense. The security level is too risky, the riders won't take much of a threat to this menace.
Lou : Leo. Over there.
Leo : What?
(sees the Babylong Rogues at the door)
Leo : They're heading straight inside! The ship knows that the Babylon Rogues recognized them.
Lou : It appears that a generation of Babylon Rogues have been recognized by the ship.
Leo : So the hi-tech spacecraft has a connection to them. What was that mad-scientist thinking? Come on, Lou. Let's roll. We gotta get to the treasure before the ship's security finds out that we're the intruders.
Lou : Right.
(the two runs off)
Hiru Vol : Sonic! Did you hear that ruckus? There was some big roaring sound and waves coming through our ears. I don't think that was not a very good idea.
Alfort Tylor : Liina! It's up to us now.
Liina : [To Sonic and company, outloud] Hey, everyone! Stop fighting! The bird brains are going after for the treasure!
Sonic : [To Nozomi] Nozomi...You thinking what I'm thinking?
Nozomi Kaminashi : Yeah. Cause it's time for us to enter the ship...
Nozomi in Action : To take down an enemy like we never seen before!
(scene changes)
Leo : I don't think that this door could open any much longer.
Lou : Just keep trying!
*Sonic/Shadow SFX : Alarm beeping*
Voice : WARNING! THIS IS THE ASTRAL BABYLON COMPUTER. YOU ARE IN DIRECT VIOLATIONS OF THIS FACILITY. YOU HAVE DESECRATED THE WARNING. PREPARE FOR IMMEDIATE LOCKDOWN.
Leo : Damn! What now? The security is too risky, it's activating the lockdown sequence.
Sonic : Hey, guys. Glad that we had to buy you some time.
Leo : Everyone! Get inside before the door closes!
Nozomi Kaminashi : Let's do it friend! Full speed ahead!
Leo : Do it now!
(they make it in just as Lou goes inside)
Leo : Lou? What are you doing? Get out of there before the door closes.
Lou/Vivienne : Sorry, Leo. But I need her help. Don't worry, It'll be all right if it's okay with you.
(her appearances changes to to another CAST; Vivienne from Phantasy Star Portable)
Leo : What? Who is that?
(the door is completely shut)
Leo : Damn! Looks like they've been sealed in the room. But was that CAST hacking Lou just by now?
(changes to the room where everyone is sealed in)
Jet : What took ya so long?
Nozomi Kaminashi : Alright, bird brain. What did you do this time?
Sayaka Miyata : Yeah...It appears that we got somehow sealed in. But the security inside the ship is too risky. But say...didn't you know that this ship is guarded by some kind of program called Babylon Guardian, that's the name of the boss of Riders.
Jet : Babylon Guardian, a program? That's righteously bogus! I didn't set up for any of this...
(he then sees at Vivienne)
Jet : Hello, hottie. Where did you come from all of a sudden.
Lou/Vivienne : Hey, be careful who you speak to. I do not like that tolerance of yours.
Sonic : Lou? Is that you?
Vivienne : I am Vivienne, I am only helping Lou out.
Sonic : Oh...So that's why. You only needed someone for help. But isn't CAST-hacking a little too illegal.
Vivienne : What? No. If something bad happens like that. You'll just be happy or not happy that I might be satisfied if CAST-hacking would be the GUARDIANS' PROBLEM. But if only that incident ever happens, why would the people of Neudaiz wanted to accuse me of doing something bad? Is this what punishment feels like?
Sonic : You won't be getting trouble, but you are definitely getting it somewhere. But hey, how about you would help me and my friends to get along.
Vivenne : Indeed. I will do it in favor of Lou, me, and my heart. I will help you out on getting out of here alive. But first, we need to stop the ship's defenses that is guarding the treasure.
Sonic : What defense? Oh no...
(the Babylon Guardian makes his entrance)
Babylon Guardian : GREEDY FOOLS...! THOSE WHO SEEK TREASURE WILL FIND ONLY...!
Sonic : That's the spacecraft's sweet stench of defense?
Nozomi Kaminashi : That is the guardian of the Babylonian Treasure...
Lou/Vivienne : Shugo-hei.
Babylon Guardian : (growls loudly)

Aliens: Wieso sollten sie friedlich sein?
Tumblr media
„Es gibt einen seltsamen Widerspruch, der in der Naivität und Gutherzigkeit der Menschheit im Universum zutage tritt: Auf der Erde kommen die Menschen auf einen fremden Kontinent und zerstören dort mit Krieg und Seuchen die verwandten Zivilisationen, ohne auch nur einen Gedanken daran zu verschwenden. Aber wenn sie zu den Sternen emporblicken, werden sie sentimental und glauben, dass es sich bei den außerirdischen Intelligenzen, wenn es sie gibt, um Zivilisationen handeln müsse, die an universelle, edle moralische Regeln gebunden sind, als wäre es Teil eines offensichtlichen allgemeinen Verhaltenskodex, verschiedenste Lebensformen zu lieben und zu schätzen.“
Liu, Cixin. Die drei Sonnen. 11., Korrigierte Auflage, Bd. 1, Heyne, 2017. (Aus dem Nachwort des Autors auf den S. 549 – 556; S. 555.)
Das GIF stammt aus der Verfilmung von «Die drei Sonnen» in der TV-Serie «Three-Body».
