Digital Devil Saga 1 Optional Dialogue
More Gale-centric stuff. I love how he refers to the people like they're programmable technology pre-awakening.
(...)
Gale (pre-awakening): Angel... The name sounds familiar, but it should not... This is weighing a great deal on my mind.
(...)
Gale (pre-awakening): Strategically, there is no reason to be here. Bat's diversion was intended to distract us in order for the main force to capture Sera. Thus, wasting time here plays into the enemy's hands, and puts us at a disadvantage. We must move quickly if we are to ensure Sera's safety and stymie Mick's plans. What I mean to say, is that we need to return to headquarters immediately. Do you understand, Serph?
- I understand.
Gale (pre-awakening): Then, let us be on our way. We need to return to headquarters immediately.
- I do not understand.
Gale (pre-awakening): I shall repeat it, then: *Gale repeats the whole thing again.*
Argilla: Enough, already! We don't have time for lectures!
(...)
Gale (pre-awakening): Why are you so concerned with Sera? You do not know, do you?
Heat: I'll kill you--
*Serph grabs Heat's arm before Heat can lay a punch on Gale.*
Argilla: That's enough!
Gale (pre-awakening): It is not just Heat. You have all changed since Sera arrived. You may be confused, but do not blame Cielo.
Heat: Cute little speech... but what about you, huh?
Gale (pre-awakening): I have... not changed.
(The image of a crying woman flashes through Gale's mind once more. But Gale dismisses it.)
Gale (pre-awakening): I am... myself.
(He clenches his fist.)
Gale (pre-awakening): The solution lies in Sera's lost memories. Instead of simply lashing out, let us think.
(...)
Gale (pre-awakening): So, at times, illogical outbursts may open up new paths.
(...)
Argilla: Well, it looks like Bat got away.
Gale (pre-awakening): We will meet him again. He is strong. He would make a better ally than Cielo.
Cielo: Oh, come on! I totally saved Sera back dere!
Argilla: Are you joking! Bat makes me sick!
Cielo: Yeah, what she said!
Gale (pre-awakening): What is "joking?"
Argilla: As far as I know, it means you aren't serious.
Gale (pre-awakening): I do not comprehend.
(...)
Gale (pre-awakening): I do not comprehend.
Argilla: Oh hush, that's enough from you.
(...)
Gale (pre-awakening): A prayer that does not reach the heavens... Something important that is missing from it...
(...)
Gale (pre-awakening): Lupa. ... There is... someone I must meet, as well. Let us go to Nirvana together.
Lupa: In order to rule over the Tribes, you must defeat their leaders. Will the Temple make an exception?
Gale (pre-awakening): If not, we will destroy the Temple.
Lupa: So be it.
(...)
Gale (pre-awakening): Serph... Humans have a premature form during development, roughly between 4 and 15 years of age... Can you remember the term for this?
- It's a child.
Gale (pre-awakening): That's correct -- a child. Why didn't we notice this before? Lupa was right, there are only fully adult humans here. His words may lead us to the truth. Come on, we need to hurry.
- A kid...?
Gale (pre-awakening): Serph, kid is the term for the maturing stage of a goat. Think more carefully.
(...)
Gale: Tribe color no longer has any meaning. Prove yourself, as an individual.
(...)
Scene: Svadhisthana. Serph speaks to each individual member.
Heat: I never knew Gale could get so worked up. Why's he talking about finding someone?
Argilla: Come to think of it... Gale asked me what could make a woman cry. I told him something probably made her sad... But why would he ask a question like that?
Cielo: Even Gale be growin' impatient for once. C'mon, let's go brudda.
Gale: Are you going to dishonor Lupa's memory? We must attack Varin immediately. Don't let Lupa's sacrifice be in vain. If you aren't ready, then I will lead the Embryon into battle.
(...)
Gale: I sang Sera's song, though I should not know it...to someone whose name I do not know, either... Who is that woman...?
(...)
Gale: The law dictates that we strive to reach Nirvana simply because we're told to do so. But, I have my own reasons now. In Nirvana, I will find out who I really am... and who that woman is.
(...)
Gale: Ruling by power is effective until people refuse to acknowledge that power. In us, the Karma Temple has engineered its own demise.
(...)
Gale: It's obvious now that I'm different from the rest of you. I did not exist in Varin's memory. You five are special.
- What do you mean?
Gale: I speculate there are two types of people in the Junkyard. Those such as Heat, Argilla, Cielo and yourself, who share memories with Sera... and those whose past memories are lost, and who are not connected with Sera -- like Lupa and myself. However, considering Sera's house is here... It's still not clear if we all died in Nirvana, as Varin said...
- Yes... I agree.
Gale: Let us hope that our theory is correct. We could be wrong. ...There may be something else behind all of this.
(...)
Gale: I originally accepted this power without question... But, killing Lupa taught me of pain and regret. Why has the Temple cursed us with this Atma?
- Perhaps they are testing us.
Gale: What is there to test?
- The Atma.
Gale: The Atma... Demonic power... They collect data as we devour each other. This is possible... But, to what end?
- Ourselves.
Gale: Yes, that would be ironic. But what is there to gain from testing us?
- That I do not know...
Gale: That's true -- if we knew the answer, we wouldnt be in this mess. Let's ask them ourselves.
(...)

Ex-member of the Solids: OK, yo, let's hear it. Embryon's in the Junkyizzle, kinna get a hell YEAH!?
