As long as PUS gives an order, no matter how wrong or dirty it is, it will be done-

Aren’t you nothing but a DOG!?

PUS is always guarding Strinova!

Guarding this utopia! Letting everyone live a good life here!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Although there is the problem of Collapse Syndrome, we’re always finding ways to solve it!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

The Restoration Project is just a stopgap measure until a solution is found!

We also haven’t found a solution…

I’m a PUS Investigator, how can I lie…

Hah, you really don't have the ability to make stuff up.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

-I’m asking you,

do you really believe what PUS told you?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Wha-what’s the meaning of this?

There’s no way PUS would lie to us…

.

.

.

.

.

.

Tch,

There’s no point trying to communicate with a simple-minded fool like you.
