(live:1s)[Beep] (live:2s)[Beep] (live:3s)[Beep] (live:4s)[//$@&^*(#)!//] (live:6s)[//You hear a voice but you can't make anything out of it... That and you can't see anything at the moment.//] (live:8s)[Strange Voice: Yes! I think I powered it on.] (live:10s)[Strange Voice: Hold on! I'm trying to enable your visual settings right now. [[...]] ]

//Your vision begins to flicker with blurry dots of light.// (live:2s)[//Your sight of eye becomes clear and the person in front of you appears to be a young girl dressed in a full body coat from top to down.//] (live:4s)[//She stares at you with content and thrill.// [[What's with the smile?]] [[Who are you]] ]

Strange Girl: Oh- Sorry! I'm just happy that I got you to work. Strange Girl: It's been a while since I've had anyone to talk to that I couldn't help but stare in awe. (link-reveal:"You weren't alone before?")[ //The strange girl looks at you with concern// Strange Girl: I had someone to look out after me before... But it seems like they're gone now. [[What happened?]] ]

Strange Girl: Oh- Uhhhh.. My name is A-82, but you can call me Amethyst. (live:2s)[Amethyst: It seems like I wasn't able to restore your memory...] (live:5s)[Amethyst: The data chip I inserted inside of you seems like it malfunctioned or I just did something wrong in the process.] (live:7s)[Amethyst: Heheh- Anyways I'm glad I managed to operate you somehow. [[What am I?]] ]

Strange Girl: My name is A-82, but you can call me (link-reveal:"Amethyst.")[ Code names were assigned to us from the day we were created as a way of assortment... but this name was given to me by someone very important to me. Apparently it's a name for a type of gem...] (live:7s)[By the way, can you recall anything?" [[I can't recollect anything...->What am I?]] ]

(live:2s)[Amethyst: You're an android created as a way of saving humanity from extinction and so am I. However, the difference between you and I is that we're different unit types.] (live:5s)[Amethyst: I'm an assualt unit that excels at combat... while you're a recon unit that excels in providing support to units such as me.] (live:8s)[Amethyst: Not only that, but you're able to hack into networks. But that's not all, you're able to perform on the field during combat if you ever need to defend yourself but you don't need to worry about that with me around. [[What's the situation?]] [[What if something happens to you?]] ]

(live:2s)[Amethyst: We're currently at a disadvantage against some form of machinery right now. The facility that acts as our command has been destroyed and we have nowhere to turn back to.] (live:5s)[Amethyst: Thankfully, I was able to retrieve a replica of your unit type and activate you with a few instructions that came along with it shortly before that incident happened.] (live:8s)[Amethyst: Since you're not informed on everything, I'll give you a quick breakdown of what we have to do in order to save humanity. [[Where are the survivors]]? [[What is it that we have to do]]? ]

(live:2s)[Amethyst: ...] (live:4s)[Amethyst: If something happens to me, I want you to save yourself. But I won't let myself die on you. For we have to [[end this->What's the situation?]] ]

(live:2s)[Amethyst: The remaining forces of humanity should be taking refuge in a site a couple miles away not that far away from here.] (live:4s)[Amethyst: There are also a few androids like ourselves there as well but they're not in good shape to be fighting on the field right now. That and someone has to protect them as well...] (live:6s)[Amethyst: Humans... are fragile creatures after all.[[I'll fill you on what we have to do.->What is it that we have to do]] ]

(live:2s)[Amethyst: A few days ago, a giant tree emerged from the ground up. Spurting with life from thin air. Command had informed us androids that we should investigate the mechanism and we did...] (live:5s)[Amethyst: But the forces that were sent had been surrounded by enemies and then they ended up being struck with a virus that corrupted there minds.] (live:7s)[Amethyst: If I wasn't busy trying to retrieve an entrance key... My life would have ended there as well. [[Entrance Key?]] ]

Amethyst: I had extracted the entrance key from an unknown facility resembling the tree out there. (live:3s)[Amethyst: You'll be helping me solve this mystery and put an end to this suffering... for both us humans and androids.] (live:6s)[Amethyst: We'll be dispatching whenever you're ready. I'll be waiting outside in the other room if you need me. [[I'll see you in a bit.]] ]

Amethyst takes her leave. The sound of her footsteps fade off into the distance and the ambient noise of what remains of humanity echo through the building. [[Inspect the scenery]] [[Follow Amethyst]]

Amethyst lies against the window looking out at the white tree. (live:2s)[Amethyst: Ready? [[Question. How do I hack?]] [[Ready.]] ]

The building you two are currently residing in seems to be abandoned like the rest that surround the area. Agriculture appears to have grown a lot on the walls of the building walls. The dripping of water from the ceiling walls echo through out the building. Outside the window appears to be a giant white tree in the center of (link-reveal:"town.")[ Or what used to be called town...] [[There's not much to do...->Follow Amethyst]]

Amethyst: How do you hack? //Amethyst looks at you in confusion.// (live:4s)[Amethyst: I would expect it to be natural for you to just do so. Don't sweat it too much. I'm sure you'll recover your memory soon.] (live:6s)[Amethyst: Sorry I'm not much help. I wasn't programmed to do tasks like those. Seems like we'll be taking our [[leave->Ready.]]. ]

//The two of you make your way to the towering tree and there lies bodies of the androids that had been ambushed.// (live:2s)[//In front of you lies a sealed door with a confirmation screen.//] (live:4s)[//As you approach the entrance. You hear rustling from the ground.//] (live:6s)[//Multple machine lifeforms appear out of the ground as a security mechanism. //] (live:7s)[Amethyst: Here! Take the confirmation card and try to open the door while I keep them company! [[Got it.]] ] (set:$attempts to 2) (set:$green to false) (set:$cyan to false) (set:$yellow to false)

//The confirmation card Amethyst gave you is a red card. You approach the door and there lies a pin pad. Nothing else is there. No hints as to what the numbers could be.// (live:3s)[You take a deep breath and focus.] (live:5s)[Hacking...] (live:7s)[There we go! If I take too long, we'll be overrun by enemies.

Great! The door unlocked! Amethyst makes one final blow to knock the enemies back before she sprints her way inside. (live:3s)[The door closes.] (live:4s)[Amethyst: Any longer and we both would have died out there like those of our fallen.] (live:6s)[A hallway lit up by artifical light brightens the pathway for the both of you. At the end, there exists a spiral of stairs that lead upward.] (live:8s)[Amethyst: This is the only way we can go. We'll have to take the [[stairs]].]

Amethyst: Could you hurry up! I can't hold them off longer if they send more reinforcements! [[I'll get it this time!->2nd Try]] (set:$green to true) (set:$attempts to it - 1)

Amethyst: You didn't get it correct?! Fuck! We're screwed! (live:2s)[//The enemies swarm the two of you in masses.//] (live:4s)[//The cries of both your voices echo through the abandoned city as the machines tear your limbs off one by one.//] (live:6s)[//There could be a better ending to this if you had only unlocked the door. You two would still be alive. Humanity would have been saved.//] (live:8s)[(text-colour:red)+(background:black)[[You died.]]] (live:8.2s)[//It was your fault.//] (live:8.4s)[//It was your fault.//] (live:8.6s)[//It was your fault.//] (live:8.8s)[//It was your fault.//] (live:9s)[//It was your fault.//]

The confirmation card Amethyst gave you is a (text-colour:red)[red card]. If I take too long, we'll be overrun by enemies. I have $attempts attempt left.

Upon arriving at the second floor, a recorded message plays from the whole surrounding area. (live:2s)[Announcer: Welcome to the Tree of Life where we shall grant you a better life! Why live a life that is so short lived when you can live forever? For eternity!] (live:5s)[Amethyst: What are they going on about...?] (live:8s)[Amethyst: Live forever? Eternity? We as androids cannot specifically live forever but we are able to transfer data chips which allows us to continue living but in different bodies. That is how we dodge the factor of death... only if we're lucky enough to have kept those data chips safe. [[Don't think about it too much.]] ]

Amethyst turns her head towards you with a soft smile on her face. (live:2s)[Amethyst: Sorry. We as androids shouldn't normally be like this... But living alongside humans for some time now... has made me become this way. ] (live:4s)[Amethyst: Let's keep going. //Before you decide to take the next flight of stairs, a glass capsule captures your sight as it contains a yellow card that resembles the red entrance key you were given earlier.// [[Take the yellow card.]] ]

You break the glass capsule and retrieve the yellow card. (live:2s)[An alarm goes off and machines emerge from the walls.] (live:4s)[Amethyst: Not this again. Lets hurry up and go up the stairs! There should be a door waiting at the top of these stairs. I'll hold them off again. [[Reach the door.]] ] (set:$tries to 2) (set:$o1 to false) (set:$o2 to false) (set:$o3 to false)

The door in front of you resembles the one before. (live:2s)[Intiating hacking...] (live:4s)[ Alright! The codes are here. I only have $tries attempts.

The two of you sprint past the door after Amethyst knocks the enemies down the stairs. (live:2s)[Amethyst: They were tough ones... I hope I don't have to do anymore fighting.] (live:4s)[//The two of you reach the top with ease. At the opposite end of your position, there exists a giant crystal that resembles a heart. Upon walking towards the center of the room. A humanoid figure descends from the ceiling.//] (live:7s)[Amethyst: An angel...? [[Angel?]] ]

Amethyst: These ones are quite stronger than the other ones but they lack in numbers! Try to unlock it quick! [[I'm trying!->yyy]] (set:$o1 to true) (set:$tries to it - 1)

[[Checkpoint 2->Take the yellow card.]]

The so-called angel stops descending and stay afloat in air. (live:2s)[Angel: Have you two come to enter the Heavens of Eternity?] (live:4s)[Amethyst stares speechlessly. Guess we'll have to answer... [[We're here to save humanity.->Eternity?]] [[We have no desire for eternity.->Eternity?]] ]

(live:2s)[Angel: What a shame. Living for eternity would relieve you of your fear of dying. Wouldn't your mind be more stress-free if you didn't have to worry about dying at any possible moment? But if you heavily decline our offer then you shall face the wrath of what it feels like to be immortal.] (live:6s)[//The angel descends onto the floor, summoning a crystal white sword crafted from light.//] (live:9s)[Amethyst: A spar between the mortal and the immortal... Bring it. I'll keep the angel on hold while you try to destroy that crystal over there! It looks like thats what is keeping this tree held together. [[Destroy the crystal.]] ]

Unlike the other times before. There are no codes to input. There's nothing there to hack. (live:2s)[You have no other choice but to try and break it.] (live:4s)[You strike the crystal with your blade but not even a scratch appears.] (live:6s)[You hear Amethyst's voice but when you turn back she hasn't said anything due to being preoccupied in battle. [[Touch the crystal]] ]

//Your vision begins to blur and you fall into a deep slumber// (live:2s)[!*(&#%] (live:4s)[Yurie!] (live:5s)[Yurie, you can't die on me!] (live:6s)[//The voice sounds like Amethyst's... But who's name is she calling?//] (live:8s)[//An image of Amethyst appears to be crying while holding your hand.//] (live:10s)[Oh that's right... I was the one who was beside Amethyst all along. When we had gone to retrieve the key card, I had taken fatal injuries and couldn't move after that... The only thing I could do was save my data.] (live:15s)[If I didn't die... If I had remembered.. She wouldn't be so hurt..] (live:17s)[ [[YURIE!!!]] ]

(live:2s)[//Awaking from your slumber appears a severly injured Amethyst on the floor weeping your name.// //The angel that was once there had disappeared.//] (live:5s)[Amethyst: Are.. you okay? [[I should be asking you that.]] ]

//You run towards Amethyst and hold her in your arms. She emits a small chuckle but ends up coughing "blood" afterwards...// (live:2s)[Amethyst: The angel... was defeated but... I suspect more to follow...] (live:4s)[More angels descend from the void of light that magically appeared from the ceiling.] (live:6s)[Amethyst: The angels... take your life... as an offering... to become immortal...] (live:8s)[Amethyst: I've already chosen my fate... What will yours be?] (live:10s)[ [[Become immortal.]] [[End this for once and for all.]] ]

(live:2s)[//You're an android.//] (live:4s)[//An object without a soul.

//Knowing your fate had brought you to an end alongside Amethyst. You decided to detonate your cores to destroy the crystal.// //The towering tree of life had been swallowed by the explosive void that you created from the source of your life.// //The tower crumbled down to the ground leaving huge debris behind.// //The remaining of numbers of androids and humans had survived in sacrifice of the two of your lives.// (live:5s)[ENDING: With You Until The End]

//The sound of Amethyst's blackbox starts ticking.// (live:2s)[I'm sorry. It wouldn't have to end this way if we could live forever.] (live:4s)[Even if I wanted to live forever with you... It wouldn't even be possible.] (live:6s)[I wonder... if you could... Would you want to stay by my side forever as well?] (live:8s)[//[[You activate your blackbox...]]//]
