elevator setup D. [ video ]
[With all this business with the Core about - something Ash would have been interested in even if it wasn't supposedly the link between this city and all the other worlds, if only for its radioactive nature - one would think he'd be out and about more. Well, it certainly isn't that he has no interest. On the contrary: he's been quite interested. It's simply that, well, his ability to do anything about it is almost nil. Without his network, his access to all the hospital facilities and Mother's labs, looking and listening was about the best he could do.
He hasn't been this powerless since he was very young, and it's extremely frustrating. He'd never wanted to feel this way ever again, and had done everything in his power to prevent it, but... not even a supercomputer as powerful as him could have predicted his being brought to a place like Siren's Port.
The video shows the image of the Galerian Ash sitting at a desk in his apartment, narrow eyes gazing down disdainfully, he himself looking a little bit frustrated. As usual, a perfect replica of life - it was impossible to tell that the video feed was a virtual-reality fake just by looking at it. Ash's voice is flat.]
All of this commotion, and not one of you has managed to actually change the situation. What a boisterous bunch of fools. And this despite the fact that many of you aren't human at all... pitiful. I'm not surprised that resistance is dying down already. For now... of course.
I've heard you speak of using this Core to return to your homes. Is that all that you can think of to use it for? Control that spans across dimensions... It has the power to change everything. This world, other worlds, any world at all. That power is sitting right at the feet of the city, waiting for whoever has the strength to take it, and you still believe that you might be able to go back home with it?
[a short, harsh laugh.] You're going to have to earn that right.
