At last, we plunge into the main story!!
Zilkhstan has begun to operate in secret, beneath the veneer of a peaceful world...

YUPITO
Good morning,
Master Shalio!

SFX
<motorized whir>

SHALIO
'Morning indeed, Yupito.

WOMAN (Nadira)
...Honestly.

NADIRA
When will you ever learn?!
You're far too familiar with His Majesty!

SHALIO
It's fine, Nadira.
Just part of what makes Yupito Yupito.

SFX
<whirrr>

NADIRA
<sigh>

SFX
>rumble>

SFX
>rumble>

YUPITO
So, off to the Development Bureau again today?

SHALIO
Yes.
To make adjustments the Nagid Shu Mane.

YUPITO
Oh, I thought it was already perfecte...?

SHALIO
Well, it's a machine, isn't it?
The architecture of their programming can always be strengthened.

YUPITO
Whoa...

SHALIO
<heh>

SHALIO
Yupito, do you know about Suzaku Kururugi?

YUPITO
Suzaku Kururugi?
The Treacherous Emperor's knight...

SHALIO
That's right.
He was the most terrible knight — but also the strongest.
If only I could acquire that strength, we could really get stronger.

SHALIO
The Nagid Shu Mane,
and I...

SFX
<whirrrr>

SHAMNA
(So far, this has been an abject failure,
but now that we've perfected this new Aram¹ Gate,
if I can just make full use of this power I've gained...)

WOMAN
Mistress Shamna.

SHAMNA
Begin, please.

SFX
<sustained high-pitched noise>

SHAMNA
(I should be able to rewrite history itself...)

SHAMNA
(Yes...)
(Yes... yes!)

SFX
<suddenly!>

SHAMNA
!!

SFX
<screech>

SHAMNA
(Damn...!)

SHAMNA
(I do still need her, after all.)
(A blood relative of his²...)
(Nunnally.)

^{1 While I deliberately avoided making a guess about "Yupito's" name (Yupit? Jupit?), this one is pretty clear. FWIW, "Arameic" in Japanese is アラム語, or 'the language of Aram'. ↩
2 こやつ is familiar and therefore potentially rude. From later context, Shamna might mean Charles or Lelouch — or both! ↩}
