Echocalypse: Scarlet Covenant story ยท Main story, Act 6: Back to Battle

30. Exhortation

People like to use the word ''magic'' to justify what they don't understand, which I think is sluggish behavior.

Inside the Crystal Power Plant, 2:25pm

Awakener

Anyone know what's inside those vats?

Sova

Liquid Echo Crystals, an industrial additive that increases the efficiency of fuel combustion.

How else do you think this facility can generate enough power to supply an entire city district?

Awakener

Impressive. Almost like magic.

Sova

Calling this technology ''magic'' is a bit of an insult to the ingenuity of the inventors.

Awakener

My bad...

Sova

Ah, don't apologize. You don't have to keep apologizing all the time.

Awakener

Alright!

Sova

Stop. I hear footsteps.

Nanook

Sorry, I can't allow you to go any further...

Sova

Nanook.

Awakener

And brainwashed workers.

Sui

Nanook! Stop!

Nanook

Sui... What are you doing here, ?

Sui

I don't want you to make any more mistakes.

Nanook

What mistakes have I made?

I don't remember making any...

Sui

I see. Then let me remind you!

Nanook

I don't want us to be enemies.

Sova

I'm not holding back this time.

Nanook

You'll need to hit me first...

Sova

Stop!

Bifrost Elite

We've got this. You go find Nanook.

Sova

Okay.

Bifrost Elite

Hey Sova. You know what to do when the time comes, right?

Sova

Yeah... I do.

Awakener

Vanished, again.

Sui

Let me try. I might be able to draw her out.

Awakener

Yeah? For real?

Sui

Um...

(Inhaling)

(Loudly) YOU COWARD!!! STUPID BITCH!!! HEADCASE!!!

(Loudly) IDIOT WHO CAN'T EVEN FOLD A SHIRT PROPERLY!!! WARMONGER!!! COWARD!!!

Awakener

Why'd she say ''coward'' twice...?

Sova

Folding a shirt...

Nanook

...

Sui, am I supposed to stand back and listen to that torrent of abuse?

Awakener

Oh my god. It worked!

Nanook

I don't know what kind of ideas you're putting in Sui's head, but it's totally inappropriate.

Sova

I have another one. Drop dead.

Sui

Wait!

Nanook

You want me dead? I'd like to see you try.
