3 3 301 DialogEnable Lamia once heard someone say...
4 4 301 Infants never keep their memories.
5 5 301 The hippocampus and amygdala of the brain, which are essential for long-term memory, are still not fully developed during the infant stage. The memory links to various areas of the brain are constantly changing. Over time, such links are disconnected and memories will be lost.
6 6 301 But the dusted memories start to come back as she runs her fingers across the cold steel walls and goes deeper into the city.
7 7 301 It all started from a blazing white light.

10 10 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Lamia looks at the tiny room in front and squats down. There are coffee cups scattered everywhere.
13 13 301 AniZhuanchangEnd A corner of the medical department office has been separated by simple cardboard fences. The ground is covered by foam and plastic airbags that were originally used to wrap expensive devices.
14 14 301 A tiny, crippled figure is crawling inside the fence with two hands. There are no toys in the base, so the medical staff threw some cables, coffee cups and writing boards for her to play.

17 17 301 1 Lustrous Why is she still here? 1
18 18 301 Medical Director We were too busy when the last supply ship arrived. Plus, we never put things that are alive on our regular asset registration... 2
19 19 301 Lustrous Are you going to send her back to the land through the cargo channel? 1
20 20 301 Lustrous Whatever. Forget it. 1
21 21 301 Lustrous squats down to look at the crawling infant.
22 22 301 Lustrous She's so ugly, like a monkey. Can we get her to stand up? 1
23 23 301 Medical Director Yes, we can give her prosthetic lower limbs, but... 2
24 24 301 Lamia crawls to a pile of messy network cables and happily wraps it around her arm, like a kitten playing with a ball of yarn.
25 25 301 Lustrous But what? 1
26 26 301 Medical Director Her body is too young to take them. 2
27 27 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Lustrous Then wait until she's older. 1
32 33 301 AniZhuanchangEnd 1 Lustrous Is there a risk? 1
33 34 301 Medical Director Every surgery has its risks. Not to mention she's only a kid. 2
34 35 301 Lustrous How certain are you? 1
35 36 301 Medical Director I'll do my best. 2
36 37 301 Lustrous Tell me your plan. 1
37 38 301 Medical Director I'll make a fresh incision after anesthesia to expose the cross-section of her lower limbs. Then I will close the blood vessels, strip the nerve endings and connect the nerve endings to the electrodes of her prosthetic legs one by one. Finally, I will stitch up the wound and clean the excess tissue. 2
38 39 301 Medical Director Why the sudden obsession with medical science? Are you concerned about this child? 2
39 40 301 Lustrous Maybe, but mainly because this is a field I've never tapped into before. It's my... personal interest. 1
40 41 301 Medical Director The operation isn't too difficult. You will be amazed by the Science Council's latest human modification technology. 2
41 42 301 Lustrous Oh, really? You can tell me about it next time. 1
42 43 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Lustrous Start your operation now. I will observe the entire process from outside. 1
