4 4 301 DialogEnable Rosetta takes the CUB to the snowy forest nearby. Like most machines Rosetta is familiar with, CUBs will silently carry out the previous command unless given a new command.
5 5 301 —Just like how this CUB has been silently following Rosetta, unresponsive to other external interferences.
6 6 201 1 500214
7 7 301 1 Rosetta One more parameter to test. Time to collect data on its maximum speed. 1
8 8 301 Rosetta Here is the route. I'll observe it from here. 1
9 9 301 After setting the route, Rosetta stands on a snow-covered bluff.
10 10 301 Rosetta Begin! 1
11 11 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Receiving the command, the CUB stirs its front hooves, kicking up the snow, then quickly gallops along the planned route.
14 14 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Rosetta connects with the CUB to monitor the data and establishes a visual link with its visual module.
15 15 301 Through the connection, Rosetta watches the snow fly by at blistering speed.
16 16 301 As the CUB charges through the bush, snow falling from the trees is quickly swept off the frame without any chance to accumulate.
17 17 301 —Just like how she ran in the past.
18 18 201 1 500332
19 19 301 1 As the CUB advances along the route, a white figure suddenly dashes by a low-lying patch of bushes off to the side.
20 20 301 Following it's alert protocol, the CUB slowly approaches the bushes.
21 21 301 Rosetta is unable to discern anything from the various tracks found in the area. As the CUB gets closer, Rosetta subconsciously holds her breath.
22 22 301 Right as the CUB cautiously checks the bushes, she sees a snow squirrel.
23 23 301 The snow squirrel dashes in front of the CUB and climbs to the top of a tree carrying some kind of nut.
24 24 301 Rosetta exhales quietly after confirming that everything is alright.
25 25 301 The CUB watches the squirrel disappear into the treetops, then raises its legs as if to jump.
37 37 301 The CUB seems to be deliberately jumping as it makes its way forward.
38 38 301 A thought long buried in Rosetta's M.I.N.D. quickly resurfaces.
39 39 301 —The meaning behind jumping.
40 40 301 It is the momentary thrill of breaking free from the surface—the thrill of freedom.
41 41 301 Breaking free... Breaking free... Continuously breaking free from the surface's hold.
42 42 301 A tall snow slope appears around the bend. Rather than stopping, the CUB increases speed. 1
43 43 301 It quickly ascends the snow slope and leaps high into the sky from its summit. The frame's exterior reflects a striking display of sunlight. 1
44 44 301 Landing on the other side of the snow slope, the CUB sees a group of snow-white figures. 1
45 45 301 Creatures that share a resemblance to the CUB's equine form.
80 80 301 Asimov promptly terminates the comms. The CUB stands there quietly facing Rosetta across the dense flurry of snowflakes.
81 81 301 Rosetta ... 1
82 82 301 Rosetta Let's get back. 1
83 83 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Receiving the order, the CUB slowly walks up to Rosetta's side and continues back to the familiar darkness of the airdrop.
