NieR:Automata Ver1.1a

Closed too...

I wonder if there even is a way out of here.

I sent counterfeit data from the Sunken City,

then followed someone resembling A2,

and found a weird room with pictures on the walls.

Even though the radio waves were interfered with,

I wonder at what point I entered this data space.

Or...

I was forced into here.

You...

You guys...

Who are you?

Listen, Android...

We machine lifeforms...

have gained a new consciousness

through years of struggle and intellectual evolution...

What are you talking about?

As if...

a new life form was born.

Did you say "life form"?

Yes, and my name is...

Adam.

"Adam"?

You're just a machine...

Are you saying that machines don't deserve to talk about life?

Then what about you Androids?

Aren't you just puppets doing what you're told?

Shut up.

By the way,

how's your companion 2B doing?

How come you know her name?

I will never forget you two.

You were there when I was born and you tried to kill me.

You're that variant from the other day.

Exactly, boy.

You also have a will and a desire, don't you?

Deep inside of you,

there lies an ugly desire that no one knows about.

The more you try to hide it,

the more that twisted darkness will grow.

Shut up! I don't...

No need to deny it.

-Shut up! -All life is trapped by desire.

I can't block out his voice.

Some long for love, some long for a family.

And I...

I'm not like you!

We are no different.

You don't believe in anything.

You want to destroy everything.

- You have no hope. -No.

- You want to get everything. -No.

You want to get all the love.

No...

In fact, to you, 2B is...

Stop!

Are you going after him?

Maybe that's what the enemy wants.

Do you need my help?

I'll go find 9S.

You go tell Lily to reinforce the security around the camp.

Got it. Be careful, 2B.

Report. Communication restored.

Then contact 9S...

Report.

Pod 153.

My accompanying object, 9S, is unable to be supplied.

Right before he disappeared,

a weak machine lifeform response was detected.

Requesting search and rescue.

That's...

us today.

Who did this?

Report. 9S disappeared in this space.

Confirmed.

Numbers are predicted to be a specific coordinate,

which corresponds to the underground area of the Ruined City.

Pod, contact the bunker for me.

Understood.

Commander.

What's wrong?

We have an urgent request from 2B.

9S has most likely to been captured during their mission.

Because we cannot predict the size of the enemy's unit,

she is requesting an urgent dispatch of a search force.

Commander, please approve.

I can't.

But if we don't hurry...

All of the bunker's search units are now out on missions.

And it's hard to get help from other war zones.

That's what you'll tell her.

What? But...

6O.

Understood...

I'm very sorry, 2B.

Got it. Don't worry about it, 6O.

Pod, how far are we from the coordinates?

We will shortly arrive at our destination.

Report.

We have reached the coordinates.

What is this place?

A disguised hologram?

Warning. This might be a trap.

DUPLICATE CITY

Who made this?

Unknown.

No information on this location

can be found in past data.

Request.

Please allow me to search for 9S.

Pod 153, stay on the ground and stand by.

Please request reinforcements from the bunker again.

Detection.

This area contains crystalline substances of silicon and carbon.

Details unknown due to lack of information.

A weak black box signal detected ahead.

Signal form confirmed.

It is consistent with the identification code for 9S.

Pod.

Maximize the sensitivity of all sensors.

Understood.

There is no machine lifeform response nearby.

The surrounding statues are composed of

calcium sulfide, sodium chloride,

and a crystalline structure formed of unanalyzable material.

No hostile reactions detected.

What are these statues?

Unknown.

Report.

Subject identified as the missing member of the YoRHa unit.

Welcome to my town.

Where is 9S?

No need to rush, 2B.

I've been dying to talk to you,

so I invited you here.

My name is Adam.

When we first met underground in the desert,

we both weren't in the state to talk.

"Underground in the desert"?

You're that variant?

I'm glad you remember me.

Where is 9S?

If you kill me, you won't be able to find him.

This is our playground.

We made it imitating humans.

I...

We machine lifeforms are deeply fascinated by humans.

Human beings are fascinating but difficult to understand.

Love and family, war and religion.

I'm fascinated by the complexity of human beings.

We wish to unravel the mysteries of human beings.

You don't understand how that feels,

do you?
