~ The Factory Ruins ~


 
Proto Dome


Marle

Wh, what’s this?


Lucca

It’s in bad shape… …but it appears to be a humanoid robot! Incredible! … I think I can fix it.


Marle

What?! It might attack us!


Lucca

I’ll make sure it won’t. Machines aren’t capable of evil… …humans make them that way.


Marle

Lucca, you…pity them don’t you?


Lucca

Let me get to work now, okay?


Marle

      (said later as Lucca works)

The door wont budge.


Lucca

      (later after repairs are complete)

Right, that does it! I’m going to give it some juice!


robot

……


Marle

Good morning!


robot

Mo…… Good morning, mistress. What is your command?


Marle

I’m not your "mistress." I’m Marle! …and this is Crono… …and Lucca, here, fixed you!


robot

Understood. Madam Lucca fixed me.


Lucca

Just Lucca will do.


robot

Impossible. That would be rude.


Lucca

Look, I hate formal titles! Don’t you, Marle?


Marle

Hate ‘em!


robot

I understand, Lucca.


Lucca

All right! Now what’s your name?


robot

Name? Ah, my serial number. It is R-66Y.


Lucca

R-66Y? Cool!


Marle

No! That won’t do at all! C’mon Crono, let’s give him a better name!

      (input Robo’s name)

Robo… Robo…that’s perfect! Your new name is Robo, okay?


Robo

I am… Robo. Data storage complete.


Lucca

Hey Robo, why aren’t there any people here?


Robo

…… What… What has happened here? There WERE many humans and others of my kind in this dome.


Lucca

I think something awful happened here…


Robo

…… It would appear so… But how is it that you survived?


Lucca

We came through a time warp from the year 1000.


Marle

While exploring Arris Dome we learned there was a Gate here.


Lucca

We found you when we came looking for the Gate!


Marle

But the door to the inner chambers is locked, so we’re out of luck…


Robo

The power is off. If we go to the factory up north, I can pass through security and activate this dome’s generator.


Marle

You’d do that for us?


Robo

You repaired me. Now it’s my turn to help you. But the generator won’t run for long, so someone must stay behind to open the door while the power’s on.


Lucca

Then Marle or I will stay. Who will stay behind?
      • Marle  »  (skip to Marle’s line)
      • Lucca  »  Right! I’ll handle things here!

      (if spoken to again)

Looks like you need my genius after all!
      • Yes.  »  (joins Crono)
      • No.  »  Oh, all right…

 

Marle

 
Okay. Please be careful, Crono!

      (if spoken to again)

Hi! I was getting SO bored. May I take Lucca’s place?
      • Yes.  »  (joins Crono)
      • No.  »  Okay, I’ll wait here.

Robo

      (R-Series enter)

Th…these are my friends! R-64Y, R-67Y, and R-69Y! Good to see you!

      (is punched)

Wh, what are you doing?!


R-64Y

You are defective.


R-67Y

You have been tainted.


Robo

Pardon? I’m…malfunctioning?


R-64Y

Affirmative.


Robo

A defect…I’m a defect…


R-69Y

Have you forgotten our mission? All intruders must be eliminated!


Robo

THAT was my purpose?


R-64Y

You shame us! You must be destroyed.

      (R-Series attack Robo)


Robo

      (said if Crono interferes)

No, stop! These are my brothers!


Marle

Robo! Crono, Robo’s getting whipped!


Lucca

Wh, what are you doing!


Robo

      (attack pauses)

Please stop. Pl…ease…

      (attack resumes)


Marle

You’ll break down!

      (after Robo is discarded)

Robo!


Lucca

But they’ll destroy you!

      (after Robo is discarded)

Robo!


R-64Y

Now to take care of the intruders…


Marle

You cocky boxes of bolts!
You’ll never get away with this!

      (after battle)

Robo! They trashed him! Wahh…! What should we do?! Robo just got creamed! Crono, let’s take him back to Lucca!


Lucca

No! Let’s take care of YOU!

      (after battle)

Robo! They trashed him! He’s in bad shape…I’m not sure I can fix him. Let’s get him back to Proto Dome for now…


 
Proto Dome


Robo

C…can you r…repair…me?


Lucca

Shh, don’t talk.


Robo

You…are trying to save our world?


Lucca

I don’t know how far we’ll get, but that’s the plan. Anyway Robo, what are you going to do when you’re repaired?


Robo

What am I…going to do?


Lucca

Yeah. I mean, what plans do you have for the future?


Robo

Lucca, no one has ever asked me that before!


 
Proto Dome (next day)


Robo

Good morning.


Marle

Robo! You’re all right!! Lucca, you’re incredible!


Lucca

I hope I never have to do that again…


Robo

Lucca, I have made up my mind. I want to go with you…


Marle

Pardon?


Robo

There is nothing left for me here. Together, maybe we can give this planet of ours a chance.


Lucca

Then let’s go! The Gate’s up ahead!!

      (approaches Gate)

Hang on to your shorts!

      (all disappear into Gate)
