Okay. Well, it's all hooked up, at least, to the best of my knowledge. Look, I appreciate No. I putting his faith in me as an "Othertech engineer,"… but this is kinda a bit advanced even for me. I mean, even normal Datacores are kinda outside of the realm of my usual knowledge. Like, I get the basics of how to interface and tweak the CaDCom system and all that… but now it's got a "soul" in it? Where the heck does someone get a soul from anyway? I doubt they just hand those things out. And, of course, No. I has been avoiding that question, so… I guess it doesn't matter so long as it works.
Now, as a few others have already mentioned, to get the Soul Core Alpha unit, the C.A.D., working No. I had to get help from quite a few people, mostly from the Last Cafe, but also from No. 7. I know that he says it'll just "show" us the past as it was, but… I'm worried it'll do more than just that. It's not going to just give us a set of receipts to read through… it has a shard of No. VI's reality altering magic in it. It's got who knows what from No. VIII. It's got time travel theory from No. IV. It's got some sort of Angel stuff from III. The only one who hasn't added anything to it was No. II.
I'm just worried that once we turn this thing on—it'll screw something up. Like… on the Universal scale. If it was just a side project cobbled together by No. I, I'd be less worried. But all the other Last Cafe additions to it… could give this thing the power to seriously disrupt the fabric of time and space. Though, realistically, it'll probably just burn itself out. The amount of power needed to do what No. I wants this thing to do? It's unrealistic, and he knows it. But… he says it'll work, so we might as well give it a shot. Can't really mess things up any worse than they already are, right?
