Reminisced League of Nine, part 10 (after battle)
Isn't this a concept incinerator?
What is it doing here...
We've received an official notice that private technological invention groups of five or more people not registered as a business require a permit from T Corp.
The same goes for technology. Everything that hasn't been authorized by the Wing's tech agency will be confiscated.
Whether they're registered or taken by force... they'll be used in ways none of us wanted.
That is why we will rid the world of them before that happens.
But, why now of all times? Is it because of the League's gatherings... No, is this about the window...?
Wait, wait. This idea that we have to make technology in secret could be a pitfall, you know? Who knows, T Corp. might just give us the approval.
A foolish question. Did you forget the reason the League of Nine was established? We gathered together for the pure pursuit of knowledge. Not to serve Wings like pathetic mules.
We deserted our hometowns for this cause, and now you suggest that we yield our knowledge? After all we've been through?
Let's see the bigger picture. Rather than just T Corp, wouldn't the City as a whole be benefiting from them?
Technology only has value when it's used for others. Until then, they're mere toys.
With this healing technology I've developed, I could save at least hundreds of lives in the City.
Should we really squander that chance... on protecting this make-believe organization?
Dongrang, don't make clumsy attempts unless you're planning to save everyone in the City.
If I thought this measly technology had what it takes to give every single person the help they needed, I would've given my all for it.
But... you think that'll change anything? The world will still be a terrible mess.
……
You're right, I thought wrong. What's the point in all this.
Wow... Look at that... It really does a good job at burning things. You think its creator was a researcher who had an ardor for genuine study like us?
Dongrang... Are you certain you're alright?
Hey, check this out, Yi Sang.
I chanced upon this curious thing in the Backstreets.
It's apparently an item a Wing called K Corp. is producing these days. It's a swarm of nanobots that look like liquid to the naked eye, and when you inject it...
No matter how badly you're crushed, hurt, fractured, ripped, torn, or chopped away...
It all heals up in seconds. Amazing, isn't it? It only takes a short while for the pain to be gone. Hahaha.
It was perfectly fine to be hurt. I didn't have to strain my body and heart trying to cure things. I was so stupid, wasn't I?
...Dongrang.
