Saving Schala After-Effects

[ker-plop]

Yeah, I don't either, but it was a possibility before I learned about this place.

[ker-plop]

I don't know if anyone noticed the first time I said this (it was trounced rather quickly), but I pointed out that in Chronopolis, Lucca is referred to as the title "doctor."  Do you suppose that shows the clash of the timelines?  If Lucca was running an orphanage and got killed off, she wouldn't have been able to become a doctor and help build FATE...

[Sentenal]

Maybe she was known as that before hand?  I mean, she did have a time traveling machine.  And doctors don't have an age minimum.

[ker-plop]

I just think it might be tough to run an orphanage and be a renowned professor at the same time...  It just seems interesting that FATE would kill off someone who helped create it.

[Sentenal]

...

FATE didn't want to kill her.

[Zaperking]

FATE doesn't truely know that Lucca created it. Neither does it know that Belthasar is using it. FATE was given the task of watching over El Nido, without knowing of what would happen (Schala's interferance, Serge's Arbiter status, The Prometheus Lock etc.). If FATE did truely know the whole course of time, then it'd know that Belthasar was using it, it'd be destroyed one day etc.

From what I remember, Lucca worked on the new circuit board so that if Belthasar took it to 2300AD (if they ever met) or if it was found in the future, it'd make sure that most of the Mother Brain rougness would cease. As for the Prometheus Lock, (And Kato did say that it is Robo), it could have been that Robo stayed with Lucca, or she brought him back, and he voulinteered to become the circuit or something.

[Sentenal]

Two things:

1.) When did Kato say that Robo was the Promethius Circuit.  I demand a quote!

2.) FATE had Lucca kidnapped to make her disable the Promethius Lock, she refused, and was supposivly killed for refusing.

[ker-plop]

Yeah, I'm aware of that second one.  That's why I posted this topic...  I'm just wondering why she has the title "doctor" at Chronopolis and nowhere else.

[Sentenal]

Because she was a very smart scientist?

[ker-plop]

Well, I'm just trying to get my head around that...  I mean, if Lucca and Belthasar's work built FATE, and then it killed Lucca (through Lynx) anyway, wouldn't some sort of time mess-up happen?  I suppose it doesn't really matter, since everything is fixed by rescuing Schala, but...  I'm still perplexed.

[Sentenal]

First, no.  Secondly, she helped build FATE before it had her "killed".

[ker-plop]

Aha.  Boy, computers can be pretty rotten kids, can't they?

4) Prometheus was an independent safety program to prevent the machine from going out of control. FATE itself did not know that such a thing was built into its circuitry. In a way, you could say Prometheus had been waiting for Serge for a long, long time. Prometheus was the one who had protected the Frozen Flame from FATE ever since the young, dying Serge had come into contact with the Flame all those years ago. FATE dared to delete the defiant Prometheus right in front of Serge and friends. Of course, on seeing the death of Prometheus, Serge and friends... (Well, I don't want to give away the story any more than I already have...)

Anyway, if you have played Trigger, then Prometheus should be very familiar to you. I'm sure a lot of players would make a similar 'big fuss' over the death of such a much-loved friend...

Translator's note: I don't want to give away more than Mr. Kato just did, but as a side note to people who played both Trigger and Cross, they'll notice the connection between Mother Brain and FATE and see how long the enmity between Ro... I mean, Prometheus... and the computer had been going on. It is so sad to see Mother succeed in taking her final revenge... - R.M.H.

Lucca may not be dead, Masato would have hinted something. As for Robo.... Sorry Robo.

I refuse to believe Lucca had to scrap such a wonderfully developed AI (probably the most sophisticated in the world) Just to make a password lock based on comparing genetic codes. It's stupid and ridiculous.

But that wonderful AI was what kept all but the Arbitor out. He still servered a purpose.
