Lady Shurelia and Jakuri's Technical Service Center

ジャクリのテクニカルサービスセンターよ。 そういえば、私が単独でここに立つのは初めてよね。 あまり気にはしていなかったけど、いざ立ってみると…気持ちが良いわね。チートしたくなってくるわ。

Jakuri's Technical Service Center. Now I think about it, this is the first time I've ever stood in this place all by myself, huh? I didn't really care about it, but let's try doing it... it feels pretty good. I'm getting to itch to cheat around a little...

ごきげんよ～きゅっきゅっ！ 質問です！オリジンのクローンがβ純血種って事で、クローン技術はあるわけですよね？そこで、β純血種や第３世代のクローンを作り出すって可能なんですか？ ジャクリのクローンとか、ルカのクローンとか、です。 （なんだか「クローン」って言葉が擬音に聞こえてきた…） (聖)

Good day to you~ Kyuukyuu! A question! Since the Pureblooded β-types are called clones of the Origins, does it mean Ar Ciel has cloning technologies? Also, would it be possible to make clones of the Pureblooded β-types and Third Generations? (Or at least I felt like a heard something that sounded like "clone"...) (Holy)

残念ですが、βのクローンというのは不可能です。 これは、そもそもクローンの定義が聖さんの世界と少し違うことが原因です。 この世界で「オリジンのクローン」と言っているのは、遺伝子操作などによって生まれるコピーとは違うのです。 その仕組みを説明するのはかなり難しいお話になりますので、ここでは全部は説明しませんが、 簡単に言えば、β達というのは、私の複写によって作られたβ－６Ｄの広大な精神世界をコンパートメント（分割）し、その１セグメントを使用して作られています。 ですから、βは私のコピーの一部分であり、その一部分に全部が入っています。 この全部というのは、レーヴァテイルのカーネル、すなわち基本的な稼働に関する事であり、正確や容姿といった部分は個別に調整します。 車に例えれば、エンジン、タイヤ、シャーシがコピー品であり、ボディや内装は個別に調整する、と思ってください。 そのレーヴァテイルの基礎になる生命の源の部分が、作るのに大変コストがかかり、リソースも沢山消費する部分です。 ですので、β－６Ｄという１体のオリジン同格の生命体を作り、その生命の源の部分を全βで共有することで、大幅なコストダウンが図れているわけです。

Unfortunately, creating clones of the βs is impossible. That is because the definition of "clone" we have here is slightly different from the one in your world. In our world, we don't mean that they were born as copies created through genetic manipulation when we call them "clones of the Origins". Explaining the way this works out in detail would be pretty difficult, so while I won't give the full explanation here, I can say to put it in a simple way that the βs were created by creating β-6D as a duplicate of me, dividing her gigantic Soulspace into compartments, and using these segments for their minds. Therefore, while the βs have a part that was copied from me, that sole part is all they have related to me. The rest depends on the Reyvateil's kernel, or in other words, the part that controls all their basic functions and includes facets like precision and physical appearance, which is modified for each individual Reyvateil. So please think of them in a way similar to a car production line: while their engine, tires and chassis are all mass-produced copies, the bodies themselves and their interiors are modified for each individual model. The part that serves as the basic source of life for these Reyvateils is the one that increases the most their production costs and the one that also drains the most resources. It is due to that reason that β-6D was created as a life on the same rank as an Origin, as it was planned that it would greatly reduce the productions costs due to having all the βs share the same source of life she has.

第3世代に限らず、β純血種もI.P.D.発症をするのでしょうか？ (無字)

It's possible for not only Third Generations, but also Pureblooded β-types to awaken as IPDs? (Muji)

β純血種でも、インフェル・ピラに精神が存在する場合、Ｉ．Ｐ．Ｄ．の暴走症状が発生することはあるわ。 人間質が無い分だけ、純粋な暴走体となってしまって、もう全ての自我が吹っ飛んだとんでもないものになってしまうかもしれないわ。 インフェル・ピラにβが一人もいなかったのは、不幸中の幸いだったかも。

Even Pureblooded β-types could end up having IPD outbreaks if their minds were lodged inside Infel Phira. But since they don't have human natures, they would become truly berserk creatures, as an outbreak could end up completely blowing away their ego. Maybe that's the only fortunate side to not having any βs registered in Infel Phira.

初めまして。初投稿です。Dセロファンについてですが、ミシャがヒュムネクリスタルを抜かれた時、体が小さくなっていました。つまり、ヒュムネクリスタルにDセロファンが連結？してるわけですよね。そしてちょっと前のテクニカルサービスセンターでは、Dセロファンは成長の情報が入っているとかおっしゃってました。そうすると、歴代の星詠の見た目がほとんど同じになってしまうような気がするのですが・・・どうｗのでしょうか？ (アキ)

Pleased to meet you. This is my first submission. About the D-Cellophane, Misha became smaller when the Hymn Crystal was removed from her body. Does that mean that the Hymn Crystal was linked to her D-Cellophane? And in a previous Technical Service Center, it was said that the D-Cellophane contains the information that regulates growth. Upon reading that, I began having the feeling that all the previous Star Singers looked just like Misha does... but was that the case? (Aki)

前にも話したかもしれないけど、Ｄセロファンには拡張部分があって、プレインストールヒュムノスはそこに書き込まれているのよ。 私の場合、クロニクルキーが書き込まれているわけで、天覇がヒュムネクリスタルだと思って抽出したのがＤセロファンだった、というオチだったわけなのよね。 ちなみに、全てのβ純血種には、そのＤセロファンにヒュムノスが１つプレインストールされているわ。それは「EXEC_HYMME/.」という、詩魔法を発動するためのヒュムノスよ。 厳密な効能キーは「妄想の具現化」ね。第三世代はこのＤセロファン情報も焼き付いてしまっているから、何も意識しなくても詩魔法が謳える、という感じね。

It's been explained before, but the D-Cellophane also works like an expansion because Hymmnos can be Preinstalled into it. In my case, Chronicle Key was Preinstalled into it, so what Tenba extracted from me thinking it was a Hymn Crystal actually turned out to be my D-Cellophane. By the way, all the Pureblooded β-Types have a single Hymmnos Preinstalled into their D-Cellophanes: that is "EXEC_HYMME/.", the same Hymmnos we use to invoke our Song Magic. Strictly speaking, its Effect Key is the "Manifestation of Delusions". As for the Third Generations, they have that information from the D-Cellophane etched into their minds when they awaken, so that's why they can sing Song Magic even if they aren't aware about it.

アルトネリコやインフェル・ピラの出力限界を超えるアクセスがあった場合、やはりパソコンのように処理落ち(魔法が発動しにくい)や詩魔法の質の低下があるのでしょうか?また、これを意図的に行えば一時的な詩魔法サーバーの機能停止も可能なのでしょうか? (丸太)

If there was a number of accesses that went over the output limit for either Ar tonelico or Infel Phira, would they suffer from processing slowdown (Song Magic becomes harder to execute) like a PC, and would that downgrade the quality of the Songs? And if such a number of accesses was done deliberately, would it be possible to temporarily suspend the functions of the Song Magic Server? (Maruta)

理屈上は有るのでしょうけど、私は見たこと無いわ。 まあ量子的な演算装置だから、３次元的な範囲内での処理において処理落ちすることはほぼ無いと言っても間違いないわね。 詩魔法が発動しにくくなる現象は、アルトネリコがサスペンドしたときに一度あったわね。アレは塔にアクセスしてもピングが帰ってこない（反応がない）ので、反応待ちに大変精神力を使う（待っている間にも集中を続けるため）のが確認されたけど、処理落ちではないし。 でも、詩魔法が処理落ちしたら遅くなって避けやすくなっていいかもね。

It's theoretically possible, but I have never seen that happen. But well, the servers make use of quantum arithmetic units, so it's next to impossible that it ends up suffering from processing slowdown from that comes from processing queries that take place in the three-dimensional world. As for a phenomenon that made Song Magic hard to execute, that would be the single time that Ar tonelico was Suspended. If you accessed the Tower during that time, you wouldn't get a Ping (response) back from it, so it was observed that waiting for it to come would use a tremendous amount of concentration (because you need to keep concentrated while waiting for the return ping), but that wouldn't count as a processing slowdown. However, it might be a good idea to avoid that happening, as a Song Magic processing slowdown would cause it to take far more time to be executed.

レーヴァテイルの記憶があるSHサーバーについて質問です。 塔にアクセスできるシュレリア様やミュールはヒュムネコードやその他の情報を知っていれば、検索をして特定のレーヴァテイルの記憶を見ることができるのですか？ (オレオス)

I have a question about the SH Server that lodges the Reyvateils' memories. If people who could access the Tower like Lady Shurelia or Mir knew the Hymn Code or other information about a Reyvateil, would they be able to lookup and pry into the memories of that particular person? (Oleos)

特定のソフトが有れば見られるけど、普通は見ることは出来ないわよ。 どちらかといえば、特定のアドレスを見つけてだれかの精神世界の場所を突き止めるのは、それ程難しいことではないのよ。 寧ろそのデータの流れから記憶を検索したり、何を考えているのかを覗く方が、色々と面倒なのよ。 バイナリ野側から見れば単なるデータの流れでしかないのだから。

We could if we had a software especially made for that, but we normally can't view them. The reason for that isn't because finding a specific address and seeing to whose's Soulspace it belongs isn't really hard. Rather, searching for memories within that stream of data and looking at what they're thinking is very problematic due to several reasons. After all, we can only see the contents of the Soulspaces as mere flows of data when we're in the Binary Field.

	今回も濃いネタ満載だったわね。 でも、他のコーナーも改革期に有ることだし、安定した人気を誇るこのコーナーものんびりはしていられないわ。 これから更に気合いを入れて、更に濃いネタで攻めていくつもりだから、覚悟しておきなさい。	And this issue was fully loaded with very deep discussions. But since it seems that the other corners are getting revamped, so even corners that have a stable popularity shouldn't be resting in their laurels. We have to put even more spirit from now on, so get ready, because we intend to attack even deeper topics in the next issues.
	より一層の人離れが起こる気がしますが…。	I have the feeling that doing that would strange us even further from the people...

Editor's Postscript

年末に向けて忙しくなって参りました。 皆さんの中には帰省される方ってどれくらいいらっしゃいますでしょうか。お盆の時は電車が随分空いていたようですから、車より電車の方が楽かも知れません。 年末年始は家でのんびりして英気を養ってください。その後、アルトネ３で体力使う事になりますからね（笑） (土屋)

And as we approach the end of the year, our job becomes busier. I wonder how many among you are going back home right now. The trains seemed far emptier than usual for the Obon season, so it might be more fun to ride a car than to go in train. Please, make sure to rest easy in your homes during the New Year season to recharge your batteries. After all, you'll need every bit of it when Ar tonelico 3 releases later on. (*laughs*) (Tsuchiya)
