Lady Shurelia and Jakuri's Technical Service Center

我が栄光のテクニカルサービスセンターの始まりじゃ！！ ぬおおおお！このコーナーにはワシこそが適役であると言えるのに、何故今までここに参加できなかったのか！おかしいではないか！ まあいいわ、これを期に今回からしばらく派手に暴れさせてもらうわい。 ところで早速じゃが、投稿するときに箇条書きで沢山の質問を書いてくる者がおるが、そういった投稿は著しく採用率が下がるから気をつけることじゃ。 沢山質問したいことがあったら、その数だけ投票した方がいいぞ！ひっひっひ！！

My glorious Technical Service Center begins!! Uogghh! I have to say that this corner is the most suitable place for me, yet I was unable to take part in it for some reason! Isn't is strange!? But well, as long as I'm here, I'm going to go as wild and showy as I can. So we will start right now, but I have to say to those that sent multiple questions in an itemized form that they should mind that doing this makes it far less probable for their submissions to be published. If you wish to ask multiple questions, make sure to send a number of submissions equal to them! Heeheehee!!

何となく１の設定資料集を読み直すと、ミシャの年齢は18歳と書かれていました。 これは実年齢18歳なんでしょうか、それとも体が18歳相当なんでしょうか？ オリジン、β純血種等の第三世代タイプではないレーヴァテイルは６歳相当で出生するんですよね。ということは実年齢と体の年齢との数え方で差が出てきてしまうと思うのですが、そこらへんってβのいるプラティナではどういう風に扱っているんですか？ (ヤマト)

Now I read again the setting materials collection for 1, I see Misha's age is stated to be 18. But is that her true age, or is it that her physical age is supposed to be equivalent to 18? Reyvateils that aren't Third Generations, like the Origins and the Pureblooded β-types are supposed to be born with the same physical and mental age as a 6 year-old child right? I'm thinking that should cause a difference between their actual age and their physical age, so how is their age calculated in Platina? (Yamato)

仰るとおり、レーヴァテイルの年齢と実際に生存している年月は違います。例えばミシャは18歳ですが、6歳相当で生まれますから、実際に稼働している年月は12年になりますね。 ちなみに私は、まだ6年分培養するという三極式培養槽による手法が確立する前に生まれましたので、実年齢も稼働期間も同じで16歳です。

It's just as you say: there is a difference between a Reyvateil's age and the time she has been actually living. For example, Misha is 18, but since she was born with the appearance and mentality of a six year-old, the time she has been actually working is 12 years. By the way, I was born before the method for cultivating Reyvateils until they were six year olds, the Tripolar Resonant Incubator was created, so my physical age matches the time I've been in operation: it's 16 years.

ジャクリやラウドネスなど塔から塔へ移動している人がいますが、正確な各塔の位置を把握しているのでしょうか？そうでなければ相当なリスクを伴うと思うのですが。 (シュレリア様にもファンクラブ！)

There's been people that went from a Tower to another like Loude and Jakuri, but how did they know the exact location for the other Towers? I'm thinking the risk would have been far too large if they didn't have that information. (Make a Lady Shurelia Fan Club Too!)

	そんな大バクチするわけ無いでしょう？ 正確な各塔の位置なんて、裏世界の女王たる私が知らないわけ無いじゃないの。そんなもの、私の傘下にある天覇なら、天を仰げば導力流が見えるスコープなんてのも開発させることは容易いわ。 まあ、簡単に言えば赤外線スコープみたいなモノね。ある程度強力な導力流でないと見えないけど、それでもソル・マルタに向けて放たれている帯状の導力流は、プラティナからなら何とか目視できたわ。ブラストラインさえなければ、もっと低い高度からでも誰でも見えると思うけど。	That doesn't mean we actually rushed in to the other Towers like that, you know? The exact location of the other Towers isn't something a Queen of the Underworld like myself shouldn't know. That is because if you are in Tenba, which is under my jurisdiction, discovering their position is as simple as pointing a scope as you look up at the sky to see the Symphonic Power streams. Well, to put it in a simple way, it's like an infrared ray scope. You won't see anything if the Symphonic Power stream isn't strong enough, but somehow we managed to see a belt-shaped Symphonic Power stream shooting in Sol Marta's direction from Platina. If the Blastline wasn't there, anyone could see it at even lower altitudes.
	我らが栄光のアルキアからすれば、位置確認などお手の物じゃよ。第一我々は第一紀の遺産も多いからのう。メタ・ファルスの位置把握も過去の文献から計算できるし、何も困ることなど無い。	Ever since I was in glorious Archia, finding something like coordinates to a place was my specialty. After all, we have in our possession many relics from the First Era. We could calculate Metafalss's position just from perusing ancient documents, so there was nothing to worry about.

初投稿です。 ダイブに関して質問なのですが、一度に複数の人間が一人のレイヴァテイルにダイブ、またその逆は可能なのですか？レイヴァテイル複数に人間一人は無理そうですが、人間複数にレイヴァテイル一人はできそうな気がするのですが。 (＆solt)

This is my first submission. I've got a question about Diving: several people Dived into a single Reyvateil once, but can the reverse happen? It sounds like it's impossible for multiple Reyvateils to Dive into a single human, but I think a single human should be able to Dive into multiple Reyvateils. (＆solt)

人間複数にレーヴァテイル一人っていうのは、私が既にやっているわよ。前半の階層で、クロア、ルカ、クローシェを入れていたじゃない。さすがにレベルが上がると精神負荷が高くて無理だけど。 逆は…多分ダイバーがおかしくなるわね。いや、ただでさえ壮絶な精神世界のダブルパンチを食らうから…とか、そういう理由じゃないわよ。例えば、右目と左目で違うチャンネルのテレビを見ていて、真剣にそのテレビの内容について議論することが出来るか、という事よ。

I've already done a Dive with multiple humans Diving into a single Reyvateil. Didn't I take in Croix, Luca and Cloche into the first five strata of my Soulspace? But as you would expect, the higher the stratum, the higher the strain they put on the mind, so doing that at higher levels would be impossible. As for the opposite... most likely the Diver would end up insane. No, it isn't because of a reason like getting devoured by getting double-punched by two enormous Soulspaces... even in the best-case scenario. It's because doing such a Dive would be like trying to focus each eye into watching two different TVs each tuned to a different channel. If you did that, do you think you'd be able to earnestly discuss the contents of the shows running in each channel? Because that's the sort of situation that would happen here.

オリジンについて質問です。 とある事情からオリジンの身体構成はどうなっているのかと過去ログや設定資料集を調べていたのですけれど、15回のテクニカでシュレリア様はオリジンは中核三角環から生まれているという話をしています。 しかし33回のテクニカのほうでは中核三角環は150年で機能を停止するという話をしています。 でもオリジンの方々って700年以上生きているわけですけど、中核三角環から生まれているのであれば上記の話と矛盾が生じてきますよね？ オリジンが中核三角環から構成されていないのであれば何で構成されているのでしょうか？ ちなみに15回のシュレリア様の説明と33回で質問のあったβ純血種の生成の過程が同じ説明だったので、シュレリア様が勘違いしているんじゃないかという疑いも持っています！ (柊)

I've got a question about the Origins. I've been wondering how their bodies are constructed, so I began checking the previous issues and the setting encyclopedia, but in issue #15 of the Technical Service Center, Lady Shurelia said they are born from a Triangular Nuclear Loop. However, we were told in issue #33 that the Triangular Nuclear Loop shuts itself down after working for 150 years. But the Origins have lived for more than 700 years, so shouldn't the fact they were born from a Triangular Nuclear Loop contradict everything said so far? If the Triangular Nuclear Loop isn't what constructs the bodies of the Origins, what does construct them? By the way, the explanation Lady Shurelia gave on issue #15 was almost identical to the answer she gave in issue #33 about how the Pureblooded β-Types are created, so I'm beginning to wonder if Lady Shurelia wasn't mistaken! (Hiiragi)

お姉ちゃんは間違ってないよ？ただ説明が足りないだけで。…というか、多分敢えて説明してないんだと思うけど…。中核三角環っていうのは、正式には今のβ純血種に搭載されているバージョンが、実質量産バージョンって事になってるよ。それよりも後に出たハイエンド版は、ティリアに搭載されている中核三角環だけなんだけど、実質テロメアって機構が着いてるのはこの2バージョンだけなの。 β純血種の中核三角環にテロメアが搭載されたのは、β純血種の中核三角環の耐用年数が短いからなんだよ。主に製造費の問題や技術の問題で、汎用化をする為に仕方なかったんだって。あと、戦略的にあまり長生きしないように作っているというのもあるみたいだよ。とにかくそんなわけで、β純血種にはテロメアが必要不可欠なんだ。ちなみに、ティリアに搭載されている中核三角環は、150年っていうリミッタは無いものの、オーバーロードによる自己欠損時に減少するカウンタとしてのテロメアが有るんだよ。 お姉ちゃんと私に搭載されている中核三角環は、製造費用もすごいし、制作にかかった時間もβよりも遙かに長いの。耐用年数は有って無いようなものだからテロメアの概念も無くて、中核三角環が自らの機能によって停止して死んじゃう事はないんだ。でも、その代わり別のところに安全弁があって、その安全弁がお姉ちゃんと私の活動処理の区分になってる。お姉ちゃんと私の稼働システムは、SISと言われる区分に入っていて、SISってのは簡単に言っちゃうと、スイッチ一つでパワーOFF出来る区分なんだよね。要するに簡単に止めることが出来るってわけ。 ただそれだと最終的には人為的な介入がしやすいという事もあって、ティリアの中核三角環はオリジンとβの中核三角環のいいとこ取りをしたものになっていて、自発的に自己の異常を判断し自己停止が出来るシステムとしてのテロメアが入ってるんだ。 あと、テロメアは中核三角環のヒンジの部分である「六角体」の中に入ってるけど、六角体がテロメアの全てではなくて、私やお姉ちゃんにも六角体はあるんだけどテロメアは無いって感じになってるよ。この辺は３の設定資料本に載る予定だから、興味がある人は読んでみてね！

Sis was mistaken? No, it's just that she didn't make the explanation clear enough... hmm, I'm not sure if I should explain it myself, but well... Officially, the version of the Triangular Nuclear Loop that the Pureblooded β-types are endowed with is actually a mass-produced version. After them, a high-end version of it was made, which is the Triangular Nuclear Loop only Tilia is endowed with, but these actually are the only two versions of it that have the Telomere mechanism. The fact that the Pureblooded β-types' Triangular Nuclear Loop have Telomeres is what makes them have such a short operational life. It was mainly due to budget and technological problems, so there was no choice but to make them as generic models. And it also looks like it was a strategy they were made this way to not allow them to have extremely long lives. In any case, Telomeres are essential to the Pureblooded β-types. By the way, Tilia's Triangular Nuclear Loop doesn't have a built-in limiter for a 150 year period and instead has a Telomere countdown that decreases whenever it gets overloaded due to her body suffering some kind of damage. The Triangular Nuclear Loops me and Sis are endowed with are far more amazing than the mass-produced ones, as our operational time is far longer than that of the βs. Since we weren't supposed to have a limited operational time, the concept of Telomeres doesn't apply to us, so we won't die due to the Triangular Nuclear Loop shutting itself down. But instead, we have a different kind of safety valve: that is the part that processes me and Sis' operation. The system that controls our operation is set as part of the SIS, and to explain simply what is that, it's basically a part whose power can be shut off with a single switch. In other words, it's pretty easy to make us stop working. In the end, that's just to make it far easier for us to be artificially intervened, so if we focus on the strong points the Triangular Nuclear Loop for Tilia has over the ones used in the Origins and the βs, it also has the Telomeres as a system that can determine when it begins suffering from spontaneous anomalies and thus, decides when to shut down. Finally, Telomeres are stored in the hinge part of the Triangular Nuclear Loop called the "Hexagonal Hinges", but not all of them store Telomere, as both Sis and me have Hexagonal Hinges in our Loops but we don't have any Telomere. This information is planned to be published in the setting encyclopedia for AT3, so if you're interested, make sure to read it!

前回のテクニカルサービスセンターで、「クラスタニアにあるダイブマシンはレーヴァテイル専用で、スレイブにある人間用ダイブマシンと繋がっている」とありましたが、つまりスレイブに侵入してダイブマシンに入れば、無防備なレーヴァテイルにダイブできるということ・・・！ クラスタニア万歳！ (上杉ガイ)

In the previous issue, it was said that [the Dive Machines in Clustania are exclusively for the Reyvateils, and they are connected to the Dive Machines installed in the Slave District used by the humans], so it means that if it was possible to invade the Slave District and enter the Dive Machines, it'd be possible to Dive into completely defenseless Reyvateils...! (Uesugi Gai)

残念じゃが、それは無理だのう。ちゃんとクレンジングされたかを判断し、そのIDを持った者しかスレイヴのダイブマシンにはアクセス出来ないのじゃ。まあ、敢えて洗脳を受けつつも屈強な精神力で洗脳されることが無ければ、実質洗脳されずに許可だけをもらうことが出来るわけだがの。まあ、今まで成功した者は一人もおらんぞ。ヒヒヒ…。

Unfortunately, that is impossible. Dive Machines in the Slave District can't be accessed by anyone but the people that have an ID stating they have been chosen for Cleasing. Well, if you dared to receive that brainwashing and managed to get through it unaffected due to having a strong mind, you could get permission to enter the machines without turning into a vegetable. But from the looks of it, no one has ever been able to do it successfully. Heeheehee...

やはりここは素晴らしい。ワシのようなジジイにおたよりコーナーは少々荷が重すぎるからな。しばらくはこっちに専念するとしよう。

This is really marvelous. The Question Corner is definitively too much of a burden for an old man like me. I should dedicate myself to this place for a while.

Thanks for the great support you gave use during the Phase 2 of the Gratitude Festival event! Everyone in staff was shocked to see so many people gathered at once. We had to go with trial-and-error for all sorts of things in order to make this event in a shape in which everyone could enjoy it somehow, even those that were chosen, and of course, those that regrettably couldn't come to the event for some reason or because they lived too far away. Several related products will be making their appearance from now on, so please make sure to look forward to them! (Tsuchiya)
