Bones: -to Imca- So you're talking about creating a localized bubble of time where time passes slower than the outside world, then I teach you about what you want to know?
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Catherine: ...t...that's good. (she smiles weakly)
A!Ryan: Cath, Tommy, good thinking!
Catherine: W-well, it's...(she blushes)
Imca : I think, I thought faster in the bubble... wait... maybe I could get a chip thing like you have that would let me learn it?
Falken: -shrugs- Eh. There's been ten numbers for a long time. I ain't changing how I count...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Rei: Okay...I've got it. It's not much, but it may be able to help you. Pay close attention, now...the catalysts are not very strong, so I don't know how clear a memory we will get. Uhm...I think it's just after what we just saw happened.
Kelsey: Right.
Tommy: Thank you...
-The scene changes to show the Black Archer standing together with three other Soldiers in a building similar to the one Past!Alyx and Past!Joel were hiding in earlier. However, the vision is blurry and when the Archer speaks, it's hard to hear properly at times...-
You... special mission ...Red...kill him...our Master..-cial orders... very important ...if he..left alive...return...powers that can...back to Mari-...the transf...still disa-...not let...him...activa-...now go!
-The Soldiers split up to search for Past!Alyx and Past!Joel, and the memory fades.-
Kelsey: ...that's it?
Rei: I'm sorry...it's because we don't-
Kelsey: Not enough catalysts. Yeah, I get it, I get it...man, did you guys understand any of that?

I mean, normally I would build it for you, but there's no telling what would happen if I made something that can absorb knowledge directly into your mind. It might work perfectly, or it might overheat and burn your cerebrum into a crisp.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Imca : Hmmm... But you got a cool techno controly chip... We can just go with the months in a bubble thing then.
Falken: -shrugs- Well, can't really do much 'bout it, I guess. -sweatdrop- ...Sheesh, if Sara were here, she'd be yelling at us for yelling 'bout something so pointless. Aheh...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Bones: Well... I suppose I could make you the chip, but I'm not too keen about it. I'll do it anyways, though. It'll be an excellent exercise of my mechanical ability.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Falken: Ah, some warrior girl that me and Wren used to adventure with waaaaaay back on Troria. She's a master-swordsman, but I think she kinda got lost from the group here...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Imca : I don't even know how to wire up the guidance for a missile, and I have projects more complicated then that.
Bones: ...good point. I'll see what I can do.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Falken: ...Yup...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Imca : Thanks mister bones!
Bones: You're welcome, Imca... I guess.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Imca : Whats wrong?
Falken: ...So, you gonna grab anythin' to eat...?
Wren: -is idly glancing around the room- ...Slow day...
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Bones: Just worried... maybe you'll have to slowly ramp it up like I did, absorbing smaller bits of knowledge at first.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."
Rei: Yes, I'm afraid-
Tommy: Hold it! Rei, with that arrow...can't you follow the memories of the Black Archer?
Rei: Wha-? Uh-uhm, maybe?
Kelsey: Hmmm, good thinking. Even if we can't get to Alyx' memories, we can still follow that killer with her arrow...
Tommy: What do you say, Rei?
Rei: Uh...I'll try...but...
Kelsey: But what?!
Rei: Well...we don't have any other catalysts...I don't know how much of her memories I can access...
Tommy: Then focus on what happened just before or after this. The Soldier seemed to be targeting Alyx in particular, so they were very close at this time. With Alyx this close, you should be able to use him as a catalyst.
Rei: That...that's right! *smiles* Just give me a moment...
