::You wait while Quinton completes his examination, observing him as he performs it with great focus and care, how after only a few minutes he makes it seem as if he had been handling these creatures for years. Slowly and steadily, he finishes the examination. He places the creature back into its mobile jail, turns to you, but only to inform you that he needs to leave and do one more test. 

The two are gone for a while...::<end>

=>q1
::待っている間、クイントンは生き物の検査を進める。集中して丁寧に作業する様子を観察していると、ほんの数分で、まるで何年もこういった生き物を扱ってきたかのように見えてくる。ゆっくりと着実に、彼は検査を終える。生き物を移動式の檻に戻し、あなたを振り返るが、もう一度テストをしに行かなければならないと告げるだけだ。

二人はしばらく去っていく……::<end>

::Soon he returns to you with a genuine smile on his face, overflowing with excitement. He wastes no time.::

I'm back, $(context.player.Name). Hope you didn't fall asleep waiting for me.<end>

=>a3
嬉しそうだな。何かいいものが見つかったんだろうな。<end>

=>q4_original
You'll see.<end>

=>q4
すぐわかる。<end>

=>q5_original
First, without dissecting the creature - which I would never do without consulting you - I can tell you a couple of things I've learned so far: Their heads *do* appear to be used for actual drilling: Even though I haven't been able to see it in action yet, obviously, the combination of the unique shape of the head and the surprisingly powerful musculature makes me feel that it engages its whole body during the process. Maybe it, say, rotates itself in short bursts, or maybe it coils up and releases the energy in that manner; I'm just speculating. What is a fact, though, is that the head is very, very tough, so I have no doubt that it can bore through hard material without much of an issue.<end>

=>q5
まず、生き物を解剖せずに——もちろん、君に相談なくは絶対にしないが——これまでにわかったことを二、三話しておこう。頭部は確かに実際の穿孔に使われているようだ。まだ実際に動いているところは見ていないが、頭部の独特な形状と驚くほど強力な筋肉組織の組み合わせから、全身を使って穿孔するんじゃないかと思う。例えば、短いバーストで自転するとか、身体をとぐろ状に巻いてそのエネルギーを解放するとか——あくまで推測だけどね。ただ、確実に言えるのは、頭部が非常に、非常に硬いということだ。硬い素材を軽々と貫通できることは疑いない。<end>

=>q6_original
As for the rest of the creature's body, it is segmented and has a decently thick skin covered in what appear to be very soft, delicate scales, or at least something similar to it; as in snakes, it probably helps them move, possibly to retain moisture too. The skin is also highly sensitive, which makes sense for a creature limited in ways it can acquire information about its environment, hm. There are a few other details about it, but those are quite minor and uninteresting.<end>

=>q6
残りの胴体については、節状になっていて、非常に柔らかく繊細なうろこに覆われた、まずまず厚みのある皮膚を持っている——少なくともそれに近いものだ。蛇のように、移動を助け、水分保持にも役立つのかもしれない。皮膚は非常に敏感でもある。環境情報の取得手段が限られた生き物としては理にかなっているね、ふむ。細かい点は他にもあるが、どれも些末で面白みに欠けることだ。<end>

=>q7_original
Now, what I did was a quick superficial examination; I'd need to dissect the creature to really tell you more about its anatomy. However, I saved the good stuff for last!<end>

=>q7
今やったのはあくまで簡単な表面的検査だ。解剖しないと解剖学的に詳しいことはわからない。でも、一番の目玉は最後に取っておいたんだ！<end>

=>q8_original
I decided to do some psi readings - that's why I left the room earlier - and the readings were off the charts! Hm. In fact, the creature exhibits a psi signature so strong that I'm surprised it does not have some defensive psi abilities at its disposal. However, the signature is also incredibly complex, and I am not ashamed of telling you even I am having problems interpreting it.<end>

=>q8
サイ・リーディングをやってみたんだ——さっき部屋を出たのはそのためだよ——で、数値が振り切れた！ふむ。実際、この生き物のサイ・シグネチャーは非常に強く、防御的なサイ能力を持っていないことが不思議なくらいだ。でも、シグネチャーは信じられないくらい複雑で、俺でも解析に苦労していると正直に言わざるを得ない。<end>

=>q9_original
::He shrugs.:: I'm afraid that analyzing it is well above my skill level. But I am absolutely, one-hundred-percent positive that understanding this psi signature will not only help you on your - for lack of a better word - quest, but also pave way to engrossing scientific discoveries. For those of us who care, if nothing else.
 
So there, that is all I have for you.<end>

=>q9
::彼は肩をすくめる。:: 分析は俺の手に余る。ただ、絶対的な、百パーセントの確信を持って言えることがある——このサイ・シグネチャーを解明すれば、君の——適切な言葉がないが——「旅」の助けになるだけでなく、興味深い科学的発見への道が開けるはずだ。少なくとも、気にかける人間にとっては。

それが、俺から言えることの全部だ。<end>

=>a10_original
That is all very interesting. Regarding this psi signature, do you know anyone I can take this larva to?<end>

=>q11_original
Well, as far as psi in general is concerned, Ezra is the top expert in SGS, so he is the right person to bring this critter to, hm. If he can't help you... then you're stuck.

Yeah, well... ::He hands you the crate back.:: Here. Captivating little thing this is. And feisty.<end>

=>q11
サイ全般については、エズラがSGSで最高の専門家だから、この生き物を連れていくべきなのは彼だ、ふむ。彼でも無理なら……もう手がない。

まあ……::彼は箱をあなたに返す。:: ほら。何とも魅力的な生き物だ。それに負けん気が強い。<end>

=>a12_original
I'll bring this to him then. Thanks.<end>

=>a30
ああ。この破片を折り取った男は、何かサイオニクスの力によって完全に固形化されていた。<end>

=>q31_original
Ah, I see what this is all about now. Hm, well, psionics are always a possibility...<end>

=>q31
ああ、なるほど、何の話かわかった。ふむ、まあ、サイオニクスは常に可能性の一つだ……<end>

=>a32_original
I had this analyzed and discovered it's made of pure carbon. I was wondering if you can give me some explanation as to how this transformation from flesh to *this* could have taken place.<end>

=>a32
分析してもらったら純粋な炭素でできていることがわかった。肉体から*これ*に変容するプロセスについて、何か説明してもらえないかと思って。<end>

=>q33_original
Pyrolysis.<end>

=>q33
パイロリシスだ。<end>

=>a34_original
::[Chemistry]:: Pyrolysis, as in decomposition of materials through high temperature?<end>

=>a34
::[化学]:: パイロリシス——高温による素材の分解のことか？<end>

=>q35_original
In an *inert* atmosphere. That's the important bit. Because otherwise it's just good ol' burning.<end>

=>q35
*不活性*雰囲気下で。それが大事な点だよ。でなければ、ただの昔ながらの燃焼に過ぎない。<end>

=>q36_original
If you thermally treat an organic - carbon-based - material in an inert atmosphere, the absence of reactive gasses allows the material to undergo physical and chemical separation into different molecules. This is how you obtain things like... hm, biochar, for example. In the most extreme case of pyrolysis, called carbonization, the end result is mostly carbon.<end>

=>q36
有機物——炭素ベースの素材——を不活性雰囲気下で熱処理すると、反応性ガスが存在しないことで素材が異なる分子へと物理的・化学的に分離するんだ。これによって、例えば……ふむ、バイオチャーなどが得られる。パイロリシスの最も極端なケース、炭素化と呼ばれるものでは、最終結果はほぼ炭素になる。<end>

=>q37_original
Looking at the sample you brought me here, I'd say that is precisely what happened to the man this used to be a part of. I am no geologist, but carbon allotropes - different forms in which an element can exist - produced naturally through high pressure are things like diamond or graphite, the latter of which is formed in very thin, easily shearable layers.<end>

=>q37
ここに持ってきてくれたサンプルを見ると、この男に起きたことはまさにそれだと思う。地質学者じゃないけど、高圧下で自然に生成される炭素の同素体——元素の存在形態の違い——にはダイヤモンドやグラファイトなどがある。後者は非常に薄く、簡単に層間剥離する層状構造で形成される。<end>

=>q38_original
As you've noticed yourself, hm, here that is not the case, as <end>

=>q38
自分でも気づいているように、ふむ、ここではそれが当てはまらない。というのも<end>

=>q39_original
the layers are fused together in an uneven fashion; that makes natural origin improbable. No, no... the more I think about it the more I'm convinced this is just a strangely-shaped piece of pyrolytic carbon - similar to graphite, but artificial and imperfect.<end>

=>q39
層が不均一に融合しているからだ——自然由来の可能性は低い。いや、いや……考えれば考えるほど、これは奇妙な形のパイロリティック・カーボン——グラファイトに似ているが、人工的で不完全なもの——だと確信するようになる。<end>

=>a40_original
To be honest, Quinton, I haven't expected such an extensive answer.<end>

=>a40
正直なところ、クイントン、こんなに詳しい答えが返ってくるとは思っていなかった。<end>

=>q41_original
I've performed the procedure in the past, so I know a thing or two about it.<end>

=>q41
過去にその処理を施したことがあるから、多少は知識があってね。<end>

=>a42_original
But, if I understood correctly, pyrolyzation only works in the absence of oxygen. This guy was carbonized in the middle of a cave.<end>

=>a42
でも、正しく理解したなら、パイロリシスは酸素のない状態でのみ機能する。この男は洞窟の真ん中で炭素化されたんだ。<end>

=>q43_original
Then the acting psionic force you suspect of somehow... did not involve oxygen. May I ask where you found this carbonized man?<end>

=>q43
つまり、働いたサイオニクスの力が何らかの形で……酸素を関与させなかったということだ。その炭素化した男をどこで見つけたか聞いてもいいか？<end>

=>a44_original
He struck a psi monolith with a mining pick.<end>

=>a44
サイ・モノリスをツルハシで叩いたんだ。<end>

=>q45_original
A psi monolith? I've heard about strange pillars holding great psionic powers within them. I've never seen one myself, however.<end>

=>q45
サイ・モノリス？偉大なサイオニクスの力を秘めた奇妙な柱の話は聞いたことがある。だが、実物は見たことがない。<end>

=>a46_original
This one's at the entrance to the Black Sea. Tall, angular and brilliant structure whose presence warps perception. Difficult to describe.<end>

=>a46
ブラック・シーの入口にあるやつだ。高くて、角張った、輝く構造物で、その存在が知覚を歪める。言葉にしづらい。<end>

=>q47_original
I can only imagine. You know, I wouldn't mind you telling me about these monoliths when you have the time, as you seem to know quite a few things about them. More than I do, that is for certain.<end>

=>q47
想像するしかないね。そのモノリスについて、時間があるときに話してくれないか——君はかなりよく知っているようだし。俺よりずっとね。<end>

=>a48_original
Sure. Now, where were we...<end>

=>a48
もちろん。で、どこまで話したっけ……<end>

=>q49_original
Carbonization, yes. So apparently when he - the pirate - struck the monolith he unleashed some kind of psionic force which carbonized him regardless of the surrounding atmosphere, most likely in an instant. <end>

=>q49
炭素化、そうだね。どうやら彼——パイレーツが——モノリスを叩いたとき、何らかのサイオニクスの力が解き放たれ、周囲の雰囲気に関わらず、おそらくは一瞬で彼を炭素化したということだ。<end>

=>q50_original
Looking at the sample and basing my hypothesis on the things you've told me, that seems like the most plausible explanation.<end>

=>q50
サンプルを見て、君が教えてくれたことを基に仮説を立てると、それが最も妥当な説明のように思える。<end>

=>a51_original
This does explain a few things. Thanks a lot, Quinton. Appreciate it.<end>

=>a51
これでいくつかのことが説明できる。ありがとう、クイントン。助かった。<end>

=>q52_original

悪いが、それは話せない。<end>

=>q61_original
Hm. Then there’s not much more I can tell you. <end>

=>q61
ふむ。なら、それ以上は話しようがない。<end>

=>q62_original
The bottom line is, this man was somehow instantly carbonized. <end>

=>q62
結論として、この男は何らかの形で瞬時に炭素化された。<end>

=>a63_original
I just found him in some cave.<end>

=>a63
ただ、どこかの洞窟で見つけただけだ。<end>

=>a64_original
You may not.<end>

=>a64
それはできない。<end>

=>q65_original
Here, <end>

=>q65
ほら、<end>

=>a66_original
What is pyrolysis?<end>

=>a66
パイロリシスとは何だ？<end>

=>q67_original
Pyrolysis is a process of thermal composition of organic materials in an inert atmosphere, meaning it's either performed in a vacuum or by using an inert gas instead of oxygen.<end>

=>q67
パイロリシスとは、不活性雰囲気下——つまり真空中か、酸素の代わりに不活性ガスを使って——有機物を熱的に分解するプロセスだ。<end>

=>a68_original
::[Chemistry]:: To me it looks like some kind of graphite: It has that slick feel to the touch and a layered structure if you look at the place where I broke it off, but as you can probably tell the layers are fused in a lot of places, and the material is clearly not as brittle as graphite.<end>

=>a68
::[化学]:: グラファイトの一種に見える。触るとすべすべした感触があって、折り取った部分を見ると層状構造があるんだが、ご覧の通り、あちこちで層が融合していて、グラファイトほど脆くはない。<end>

=>q69_original
Yes, yes, I can see that. <end>

=>q69
そうだね、そうだね、それは俺も見てわかる。<end>

=>q70_original
::He carefully inspects the sample.:: Hm. You know what this reminds me of? It reminds me of something you'd get as a result of pyrolysis.<end>

=>q70
::彼はサンプルを注意深く調べる。:: ふむ。これが何に似ているかわかるか？パイロリシスで得られるものに似ているんだよ。<end>

So what do you reckon?<end>

No, not pyrite the fool's gold, but *pirate* the filthy, smelly water bandit that pollutes the waterways with his mere presence.<end>

いや、特には。<end>

::He nods.:: How about we take a look at what we have before us, hm?<end>

=>q115
::彼は頷く。:: 今手元にあるものを見てみようか、ふむ？<end>

=>q116_original
Well, <end>

=>q116
まあ、<end>

=>q117_original
this is what I can tell you about the creature by looking at this: So, they have a primarily defensive purpose, just like we talked. Now, I see no cavities or canals for nerves or blood vessels to go through, or to accommodate any kind of organic matter. To illustrate what I mean, I'll take our very own bones as an example: We grow our bones through a process called ossification. Do you know what that is?<end>

=>q117
これを見てわかることはこうだ。防御目的がメインなのは、さっき話した通り。神経や血管が通る空洞や管が見当たらない。有機物を収容する構造もない。わかりやすく説明するために、俺たちの骨を例に挙げよう。俺たちは骨化と呼ばれるプロセスで骨を成長させる。それが何かわかるか？<end>

=>a118_original
::[Biology]:: Yes, specialized cells produce calcium which synthesizes bones.<end>

=>a118
::[生物学]:: はい。特殊な細胞がカルシウムを分泌して骨を合成する。<end>

=>q119_original
Exactly. <end>

=>q119
その通り。<end>

=>q120_original
Now, bone tissue is usually composed of a mineral matrix which contains these cells, and bones themselves are composed of approximately seventy percent mineral content. This blade here, this is one solid piece of metal. No organic matter whatsoever, no porosity and no traces that this grew out of a living being.<end>

=>q120
骨組織は通常、これらの細胞を含む鉱物マトリクスで構成されていて、骨自体は約七十パーセントが鉱物成分だ。この刃はといえば、一枚の固形金属でできている。有機物は全くなく、多孔性もなく、生き物の体から成長した痕跡もない。<end>

=>a121_original
How does it grow then?<end>

=>a121
じゃあ、どうやって成長するんだ？<end>

=>q122_original
Hm, that I don't know. Tooth enamel, for instance, is almost completely made of hydroxylapatite - a kind of calcium phosphate, with the rest being water and a hint of organic matter. Enamel is formed within the gums, before the tooth grows out, so there is a possibility that this blade is formed within the shell and grows out later. But how... I don't know. Right now I can only make speculations.<end>

=>q122
ふむ、それは俺にもわからない。例えば歯のエナメル質は、ほぼ完全にヒドロキシアパタイト——リン酸カルシウムの一種——でできていて、残りは水と微量の有機物だ。エナメル質は歯が生える前に歯茎の中で形成されるから、この刃も甲羅の中で形成されて、後から生え出てくる可能性はある。でも、どうやって……わからない。今はただ推測しかできない。<end>

=>q123_original
Here, take this blade back. If you want to test its composition, better have that done by someone, well, someone who is not a biologist, that's for sure. ::A smile lifts his mask slightly up.:: If you can bring me any other part of the creature, or a live specimen, then we have ourselves a winner. This, however... I'm sorry. This is all fascinating, in any case.<end>

=>q123
ほら、刃を返そう。組成を調べたいなら、まあ……生物学者じゃない人間に頼むほうがいい。::わずかに笑う。:: 他の部位か、生きた個体を持ってきてくれれば、本当に役立てる。これだけでは……すまない。いずれにせよ、実に興味深い。<end>

=>a124_original
I've captured one of these worms.<end>

=>a124

=>q125_original
::Quinton inspects the creature as it squirms inside the crate. As soon as it spots him, the creature begins thrashing about, ocassionally stopping to aim its head at him and screech in an act of desperate intimidation.:: Now this is what I'm talking about! I'd like to take a look at it. Anything I should know before opening the crate? How dangerous is it?<end>

=>q125
::クイントンは箱の中でもがく生き物を調べる。彼に気づいた瞬間、生き物は暴れ回り始め、絶望的な脅しのジェスチャーとして頭をこちらに向けて甲高い声を上げる。:: これが見たかったやつだ！調べてみたい。箱を開ける前に何か知っておくべきことはあるか？どのくらい危険だ？<end>

You've got nothing to worry about. I handled it with my bare hands.<end>

心配ない。素手で扱った。<end>

=>q127_original
::He carefully grabs the creature, holding it firmly as it wriggles in his hands. He takes a good look at it, charmed by its oddity and alien form, before he turns to you.::

Please wait while I examine it. This won't take long. ::The creature suddenly makes a few powerful motions, wailing its unheld ends and shakes Quinton's upper body and prompting him to even spread his legs a bit in order to maintain proper balance; he is able to control it, however.:: This one's a fighter!<end>

=>q127
::彼は生き物をしっかりとつかみ、もがく生き物を手の中で固定する。その奇妙で異質な形に魅了された様子でじっくりと観察してから、あなたを振り返る。::

調べている間、待っていてくれ。そう時間はかからない。::生き物が突然激しく動き、体をくねらせてクイントンの上体を揺さぶり、バランスを保つために彼が足を少し広げるほどだ。しかし、彼は何とか制御する。:: こいつはやるな！<end>

=>a128_original
::Wait.::<end>

I understand. I'd like to change the subject to something else.<end>

=>a132
わかった。話題を変えたい。<end>

Okay.<end>

=>q133
わかった。<end>

=>a134_original
I'll get going now. See you later when I learn something new.<end>

じゃあ行くよ。新しいことがわかったらまた来る。<end>

=>a135_original
No, what is that?<end>

=>a135
いや、それは何だ？<end>

=>q136_original
Your bones contains cells called osteoblasts which secrete the minerals necessary to form bone. The process by which they do this is called ossification.<end>

=>q136
骨には骨芽細胞という細胞があって、骨を形成するのに必要な鉱物を分泌する。そのプロセスを骨化という。<end>

=>a137_original
Not yet.<end>

=>a137
まだない。<end>

I haven't seen any predators, or noticed signs thereof. What if they are at the top of the food chain?<end>

=>a138
天敵の痕跡は見当たらなかった。食物連鎖の頂点にいるとしたら？<end>

=>q139_original
If they're fungivores, then perhaps, as it would be hard to imagine creatures of such weight - and they have to be heavy, built like this - chasing down or ambushing their prey. Natural selection would not favor them, I don't think. But again, why the shell? The blades?<end>

=>q139
菌類食動物なら、そうかもしれない。この体格だと——絶対に重いはずだ、こういう造りなんだから——獲物を追いかけたり待ち伏せしたりするのは難しいと思うよ。自然選択が有利に働かないだろう。でも、やはり疑問なのは、なぜ甲羅が？なぜ刃が？<end>

=>q140_original
I mean, it could be a way to attract females, as using vast resources to impress one is not uncommon in the animal world... or the human world, but... It's still a bit too far-fetched. No, don't think that is the case here.<end>

=>q140
メスを引き付けるための手段という可能性もある——膨大なリソースを使って印象づけることは、動物の世界でも、まあ、人間の世界でも珍しくないから……でも、少し飛躍しすぎだ。いや、ここではそうじゃないと思う。<end>

=>q141_original
Hm. Back to the blade *in* hand. Well, <end>

=>q141
ふむ。話を*手元の*刃に戻そう。まあ、<end>

=>a142_original
That I don't know.<end>

=>a142
それはわからない。<end>

=>a143_original
Yes, their backs are covered with these blades.<end>

=>a143
ああ、背中にこの刃が生えている。<end>

=>q144_original
Hm. Well, <end>

=>q144
ふむ。まあ、<end>

=>q145_original
this is what I can tell you about the creature by looking at this: Considering that you told me the blades grow out of its back, I can guess that it serves a defensive purpose. I see no cavities or canals for nerves or blood vessels to go through, or to accommodate any kind of organic matter. To illustrate what I mean, I'll take our very own bones as an example: We grow our bones through a process called ossification. Do you know what that is?<end>

=>q145
これを見てわかることはこうだ。刃が背中から生えていると教えてくれたから、防御目的だと推測できる。神経や血管が通る空洞や管が見当たらない。有機物を収容する構造もない。わかりやすく説明するために、俺たちの骨を例に挙げよう。俺たちは骨化と呼ばれるプロセスで骨を成長させる。それが何かわかるか？<end>

::He slowly turns around.:: Hm?<end>

You should take it to Pasquale then. He can run tests and tell you exactly what are its effects on the human body.<end>

What do you know about Patrick Pierce's death?<end>

=>a155
パトリック・ピアスの死について何か知っているか？<end>

=>q156_original
Hm? Patrick? Was it a heart attack? I forgot. I remember all the fuss about it. Was it a heart attack or... Hm, can't remember. It happened two months ago. I don't see why is it important anyway.<end>

=>q156
ふむ？パトリック？心臓発作だったか？忘れた。あれこれ騒ぎになったのは覚えている。心臓発作だったか……ふむ、思い出せない。二ヶ月前のことだ。なぜ今さら重要なのかはわからないが。<end>

=>a157_original
Can you tell me what was he like as a person?<end>

=>a157
人としてどんな人だったか教えてくれるか？<end>

=>q158_original
He was a friendly guy, approachable. We were a different sort of people: He'd hang out more with people like Harold or Wayne than me or Bret, for example. But he was polite and we'd chat from time to time.<end>

=>q158
気さくな、親しみやすい人だった。俺とは種類の違う人間だったね——彼はハロルドやウェインみたいな人たちと一緒にいることが多かったが、俺やブレットとも礼儀正しく、たまに話していた。<end>

=>q159_original
Although, just before he died, Bret complained about some heaters he was installing in the hopper pens. Said he did a sloppy job. It was true, the poor hoppers were about to die from overheating. Bret got... a *bit* mad, and I understand him fully. I even talked to Patrick once about the whole situation.<end>

=>q159
ただ、死ぬ直前に、ブレットがホッパー囲いに設置していたヒーターについて文句を言っていた。ずさんな仕事だったと。本当のことで、かわいそうなホッパーたちは過熱で死にそうになっていた。ブレットは……*ちょっと*怒っていたが、よく理解できる。パトリックとその状況について一度話したことさえある。<end>

=>a160_original

What kind of creature is that?<end>

=>a166
あの生き物は何だ？<end>

=>q167_original
It's a burrower. It's one nasty creature that digs around, laying eggs all over the place. They are more numerous deeper underground, but you can still find a few roaming the Lower Underrail and the surrounding caves.<end>

=>q167
バロワーだ。あちこち掘り回って卵を産みまくる、厄介な生き物だ。深い地下ほど多いが、下部アンダーレールや周辺の洞窟にも何匹かいる。<end>

=>q168_original
If you meet one, be careful. It will spit thick hard spines at you that are coated with poison.<end>

=>q168
もし出会ったら気をつけてくれ。毒に塗られた太い硬い棘を吐き出してくる。<end>

=>a169_original
What are you doing exactly?<end>

=>a169
正確には何をしているんだ？<end>

=>q170_original
I'm collecting its poison glands. We can use those to produce other chemicals or to coat crossbow bolts.<end>

=>q170
毒腺を採取している。他の化学物質の製造やクロスボウのボルトのコーティングに使えるんだ。<end>

=>a171_original
What's in that room over there?<end>

=>a171
あの奥の部屋には何があるんだ？<end>

=>q172_original
We're growing mushrooms of different kinds there, of course, most notably the mindshrooms. They are one of the most potent, and certainly one of the safest psionic catalysts. The largely popular psi boosters are made from mindshrooms, in case you didn't know.<end>

=>q172
もちろんキノコを色々と栽培していて、特にマインドシュルームが主力だ。最も強力で、最も安全なサイオニクス触媒の一つだよ。知らなかったかもしれないが、広く普及しているサイ・ブースターはマインドシュルームから作られている。<end>

=>a173_original
I'm told you can teach psionics.<end>

=>a173
サイオニクスを教えられると聞いたが。<end>

=>q174_original
Hm. Yes, that is correct. Are you interested in learning perhaps?<end>

=>q174
ふむ。そうだよ。学んでみたいか？<end>

=>a175_original
Yes. Will you teach me?<end>

=>a175
ああ。教えてくれるか？<end>

=>q176_original
Hmm... I heard you scored highly on Tanner's tests, so yes, I will teach you what I can.<end>

=>q176
ふむ……タナーのテストで高得点を出したと聞いたよ。いいだろう、できる限り教えよう。<end>

=>q177_original
If you perform one little task for me.<end>

=>q177
一つだけ頼みがあるが。<end>

=>a178_original
Which task is that?<end>

=>a178
どんな頼みだ？<end>

=>q179_original
You see, I was conducting some experiments on rathounds a while back. Was quite close to a breakthrough as well, until... a little accident happened and Bret forced me to get rid of the creatures. Hm.<end>

=>q179
以前、ラットハウンドを使って実験をしていたんだよ。かなり突破口に近いところまで来ていたんだが……小さな事故が起きて、ブレットに生き物を処分させられてしまった。ふむ。<end>

=>q180_original
Now I cannot finish the experiments. Not here anyway.<end>

=>q180
もう実験を終わらせることができない。少なくとも、ここではね。<end>

=>q181_original
<end>

=>q181
<end>

=>a182_original
What kind of experiments were you conducting?<end>

=>a182
どんな実験をしていたんだ？<end>

=>q183_original
I was working on developing a substance that would transform the muscle and other types of tissue into a potent mushroom fertilizer.<end>

=>q183
筋肉組織などを強力なキノコ肥料に変換する物質を開発していたんだ。<end>

=>a184_original
What happened?<end>

=>a184
何があったんだ？<end>

=>q185_original
Well, I never really had an appropriate place to keep the rathounds, so I drilled breathing holes into a couple of those large crates and kept them there. It turns out I underestimated them and after a while they... chewed their way out of their predicament.<end>

=>q185
まあ、ラットハウンドを置く適切な場所がなかったから、大きな箱に穴を開けて入れておいたんだよ。見くびっていたね——しばらくしたら……困難な状況から噛んで脱出してしまった。<end>

=>a186_original
What do you need me to do?<end>

=>a186
何をしてほしいんだ？<end>

=>q187_original
I have prepared the final version of the concoction and filled a set of crossbow bolts with it. I need you to go out there into the caves and shoot a rathound with it, and then once it's dead, collect a tissue sample from around the wound.<end>

=>q187
薬の最終版を作って、クロスボウのボルトに詰めた。洞窟に出て行って、それでラットハウンドを撃って、死んだら傷の周りから組織サンプルを採取してほしい。<end>

=>q188_original
If you don't have a crossbow, you can borrow mine. It's in that locker over there in the corner. It's not like I get to use it much these days anyway.<end>

=>q188
クロスボウを持っていなければ、俺のを借りていいよ。あの隅のロッカーに入っている。最近はあまり使う機会がないしね。<end>

=>a189_original
And if I do this, you'll teach me for free?<end>

=>a189
それをすれば、ただで教えてくれるのか？<end>

=>q190_original
I'll teach you one psi ability for free. You'll have to pay for the rest.<end>

=>q190
一つのサイ能力をただで教える。残りは有料だ。<end>

=>q197_original
Not a chance, it's one psi ability - take it or leave it.<end>

=>q197
そんな話はない。一つのサイ能力だ——受けるか断るか。<end>

=>a198_original
I'll take it.<end>

=>a198

Hm. If you change your mind let me know.<end>

No. I was just curious.<end>

=>a207
いや、ただ気になっただけだ。<end>

=>q208_original
I see. Well, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do.<end>

そうか。では、失礼するよ——仕事があるんで。<end>

=>a209_original
Tell me about that task you mentioned earlier.<end>

頼んでいた組織サンプルだ。<end>

Don't forget my training.<end>

残念ながら。鉄の扉で封鎖されていて、ゴルスキーがアクセス・カードを渡してくれないんだ。<end>

=>q220_original
Unacceptable! I'll call him immediately. I'll even go to Tanner if I have to. They know I need all the venom glands I can get for my research.<end>

=>q220
そんなの許せない！すぐ電話する。必要ならタナーのところへ行く。俺の研究に必要な毒腺はできるだけ多く必要だということは、みんな知っているはずだ。<end>

=>q221_original
You just go talk to Gorsky again in a minute and he better give you that access card then.<end>

=>q221
すぐにもう一度ゴルスキーと話してみてくれ。今度はアクセス・カードをもらえるはずだ。<end>

=>q222_original
If you get to hunt down some burrowers, I'll gladly trade for their venom glands. Be careful, though, these critters will not relinquish them for free.<end>

=>q222
バロワーを狩れるなら、毒腺を喜んで取引するよ。でも気をつけてくれ——あいつらはただでは渡さないから。<end>

What are your thoughts on the Faceless invasion?<end>

=>a226
フェイスレスの侵攻についてどう思う？<end>

=>q227_original
I dissected all kinds of monsters in my lab and learned their secrets, but I must admit the Faceless are still a mystery to me.<end>

=>q227
ラボでいろんなモンスターを解剖してその秘密を学んできたが、フェイスレスはまだ謎だ、と認めざるを得ない。<end>

=>q228_original
What I wouldn't give for a fresh corpse of a Faceless... but then again, I heard bad things happen to those who try and linger near their dead. People say their brethren come for their corpses; they leave no man behind, apparently, dead or alive. So, maybe it's for the best they are not readily available. ::He laughs.::<end>

=>q228
フェイスレスの新鮮な死体があれば何でもするんだが……とはいえ、その死体に近づこうとした人間に悪いことが起きるとも聞いている。仲間が死者の遺体を引き取りに来るそうで、死んでも生きていても誰も置き去りにしないらしい。だから、手に入りにくいのは仕方がないかもしれない。::彼は笑う。::<end>

=>q233
<end>

=>a234_original
Tell me about cryokinesis.<end>

=>a234
クライオキネシスについて教えてくれ。<end>

=>q235_original
Basically, cryokinesis is any process that involves materializing and launching ice projectiles. Most commonly the projectile takes the form of a pointy shard. Aside from causing direct harm, it will also disperse cold vapors on impact.

It will cost you fifty credits to learn this.<end>

=>q235
基本的に、クライオキネシスは氷の発射物を具現化して発射するプロセスだ。最も一般的には、尖った破片の形をとる。直接的なダメージを与えるほか、着弾時に冷気を散布する。

習得費用は五十クレジットだ。<end>

=>a236_original
Agreed. Here you go.<end>

=>a236

I don't have that kind of money right now. What else can you teach me?<end>

On second thought, I'd rather spend my money on something else.<end>

Tell me about pyrokinesis. ::[Requires: Metathermics 25]::<end>

=>a243
パイロキネシスについて教えてくれ。::[必要条件：メタサーミクス 25]::<end>

=>q244_original
There's not much to tell. It's one of the most potent and most destructive psionics known to man. You materialize a giant ball of superheated gas and hurl it as far away from you as possible. It explodes on impact and burns everything to smithereens.

It will cost you two hundred fifty credits to learn this.<end>

=>q244
そんなに語ることはない。人類が知る最も強力で最も破壊的なサイオニクスの一つだ。超高温ガスの巨大な塊を具現化して、できるだけ遠くへ飛ばす。着弾時に爆発して、あたり一帯を灰にする。

習得費用は二百五十クレジットだ。<end>

Tell me about cryostasis. ::[Requires: Metathermics 35]::<end>

=>a255
クライオスタシスについて教えてくれ。::[必要条件：メタサーミクス 35]::<end>

=>q256_original
As the name suggests, cryostasis allows you to suspend a creature in a block of solid ice for a short while. Be careful, though the ice is solid on the inside, it's very vulnerable on the outside so tampering with it may cause it to shatter and release the creature prematurely.

It will cost you one hundred fifty credits to learn this.<end>

=>q256
名前が示す通り、クライオスタシスは生き物を固体の氷のブロックの中にしばらく閉じ込めることができる。ただし注意が必要で、氷は内部では固いが、外側は非常に脆い。干渉すると砕けて、生き物が早めに脱出することがある。

習得費用は百五十クレジットだ。<end>

=>a267
パイロキネティック・ストリームについて教えてくれ。::[必要条件：メタサーミクス 35]::<end>

=>q268_original
It basically works like a flamethrower. You project a stream of fire burning everything in a straight line and it lasts as long as you can maintain your focus.

It will cost you two hundred credits to learn this.<end>

=>q268
基本的に火炎放射器のようなものだ。火炎の流れを一直線に放出し、焦点を維持できる限り続く。

習得費用は二百クレジットだ。<end>

Anything on Tanner? No? Hm.<end>

=>q282
タナーについて何か？ないか？ふむ。<end>

=>q283_original
Lenox, that derailed lunatic! We lost a good man because of him, but someone else is going to answer for this. Where was the security? Are we allowing everyone to go where they please around here?<end>

=>q283
レノックス、あの狂った奴め！あいつのせいで良い人材を一人失った。でも、誰かが責任を取らなくちゃいけない。警備はどこにいた？ここでは誰でも好き勝手に動けるのか？<end>

=>q284_original
That friend of yours, Dude. He is quite an... unusual character.<end>

=>q284
君の友人、デュード。あれはまた……独特なキャラだったな。<end>

=>a285_original
Oh, yes. Tell me about it.<end>

=>a285
ああ、そうだな。どうだった？<end>

=>q286_original
He arrived here not too long after you and I spoke. Can't say he had quite a... wholesome appearance, but he was polite. We... had a bit of an argument over him wanting to pay me in brew, but we sorted that out somehow. However, what I found most baffling was his departure.<end>

=>q286
君と俺が話してからそう経たないうちに来た。外見は……まあ健全とは言えなかったが、礼儀正しかった。ブリューで払うと言い張ったときはちょっと揉めたが、何とか解決した。でも、一番驚いたのは帰り際のことだよ。<end>

=>q287_original
After picking up the package he went inside the storage room. I saw him and yelled to him that is not where the elevator is, but he still went inside. <end>

=>q287
荷物を受け取った後、倉庫室に入って行ったんだ。エレベーターはそっちじゃないと叫んだんだが、それでも中に入った。<end>

=>q288_original
Bret and <end>

<end>

<end>

=>a291_original
He was, uh...<end>

=>a291
彼は、えーと……<end>

=>q292_original
He was pulling a prank on us. Must've. There is no other exit from that room. Your friend surely is... odd.<end>

=>q292
悪ふざけをしていたんだろう。そうに違いない。あの部屋に他の出口はない。君の友人はなんとも……変わったやつだね。<end>

=>a293_original
Uh, yes, prank. Dude's a prankster at heart, yes, ha-ha-ha. Anyway, there was something I wanted to ask you...<end>

=>a293
ああ、その、悪ふざけ。デュードはいたずら好きだから。はは。で、聞きたいことがあったんだが……<end>

=>a294_original
Storage room... I need to check something quickly. Be right back.<end>

=>a294
倉庫室……ちょっと確認することがある。すぐ戻る。<end>

=>a295_original
Um...<end>

=>a295
あの、えーと……<end>

=>a296_original
Yes, you know...<end>

=>a296
そう、ほら……<end>

=>a297_original
Ah, you see...<end>

=>q300_original
I heard what happened to Newton. It's... a shame, but Bret told him to be careful, and warned him about psi-beetles. He should've been more careful.<end>

=>q300
ニュートンのことは聞いた。……残念だが、ブレットは気をつけるよう言っていたし、サイ甲虫のことも警告していた。もっと注意すべきだった。<end>

=>q301_original
I've heard all about Newton. Good work, $(context.player.Name).<end>

=>q301
ニュートンのことはすべて聞いたよ。よくやった、$(context.player.Name)。<end>

=>q302_original
Forgot something?<end>

何か忘れたか？<end>

=>q303_original
::You come up to a rangy man with long hair who is cutting open the head of a large, monstrous creature; formerly an untameable beast, it is now but a stiff volunteer to postmortem dissection - to science. And soon enough, the man makes the final incision, after which he pushes his hand through to extract a single long, sharp spine. Greenish, sticky fluid dribbles out of the opening and all over the floor as the man wipes the spine clean before laying it aside, and that is the moment in which he notices you.::

Careful, you don't want to get in contact with its toxin.<end>

=>q303
::細身で長身の、長髪の男のところへ近づく。男は大きな凶暴な生き物の頭を切り開いているところだ。かつては手のつけられない怪物だったが、今では硬直したボランティアとして、解剖——科学のために——されている。やがて男は最後の切開を入れ、手を差し込んで長くて鋭い棘を一本取り出す。緑がかった粘り気のある液体が切り口から溢れ出て床一面に滴り落ちる。男は棘を丁寧に拭いて脇に置く。その瞬間、彼はあなたに気づく。::

毒に触れないよう注意してくれ。<end>

=>q304_original
::He returns to cutting through the creature as he talks to you.::

My name is Quinton. Don't bother introducing yourself, I know who you are. You're $(context.player.Name), and you just got admitted to the station.<end>

=>q304
::彼は生き物を切りながら話し続ける。::

クイントンだ。自己紹介は不要だ——誰だかわかっている。$(context.player.Name)だろう、このステーションに入ってきたばかりの。<end>

=>q305_original
I'd shake your hand, but you can see why that wouldn't be a good idea.<end>

=>q305
握手したいところだが、今の状況じゃそれはまずいとわかるだろう。<end>
