"Outcome of trial: Human is dead. Mismatch."
Human is dead?
Uh-huh.
Someone...
...died?
Apparently so.
What else is there?
According to this,
there's more in "Jellyman's Report, number 143."
And that is...?
Your guess is as good as mine, dude.
There's a weird lookin' database here, though...
Okay... What is this?
Some... kinda proprietary code?
Daru?
Eff this!
I officially have no idea what I'm looking at...! Die!!!
Maybe this would be a good time to take a break...?
Hhhh... Who did I think I was? Unreadable code is unreadable.
You've fought nobly, sir. Take a breather.
Take a freakin' nap, more like.
I got some more noodles, if you want.
Thanks, May. I'll take it lyin' down.
Proprietary code...
He was say something like the IBN 5100
was built before PCs were using BASIC,
so it can read IBN's proprietary programming language--
The IBN 5100's singular abilities
are needed to halt SERN's ambitions...
I would very much like to speak with you at some point.

How much clothing do you have?
I threw a couple of Daru's things in the mix, too...
Sorry; we've been pulling a lot of late-nighters...
You should be able to tell his unmentionables from mine
by the disparity in size.
Oh my!
Okabe!
Wassabi!
That is not my name... Firstly...
Secondly, a hearty "hale and well met" will suffice...
Thirdly... From what pit do you mine your slang?
Wassabi, Suzuha!
Cut it out...!
Wait a sec, since when do you two know each other?
We spend too much time
in the same building not to have met eventually.
And just lookie at the sweet Rai-net card
she gave me when we did: Good as gold!
Where you off to?
Oh, laundry...
Okarin and Daru have been working late,
so they're getting kinda stinky.
Part-timer!
'Less you wanna be a short-timer, get crackin'.
Right...
And you stay clear of her, Romeo.
Interesting appellation to lay on me,
when clearly the love-struck one here is you.
Shut it, freak...
One day you're gonna mouth off like that
in front of my daughter...
At which point I'm gonna end you.
Nae? Your rodent?
Hey, don't talk about her like that!
If anyone's the rodent it's the guy drooling over the damn kid!
I'm right here, and I am not a kid!
I am a skilled warrior.
A what?
You tell him, part-time girl...
Keep that sharp tongue of yours whetted on his blunt head
and I'm certain you'll rise through the ranks
of your battalion in no time.
Oh, shut up...! You contaminate people with your craziness!
Hey! I can take care of myself, 'kay, thank you.
You'd think I had a sign on my back
that said "insert crazy here..."
Hhhhh... See ya.
Yeah, we...
It's a little tic of hers, you might say...
I've dubbed it "Shaking Hands with Stardust"
Bet if I did this long enough, I'd reach a star.
Best wait till you can see some, though.
Hey, now... Just 'cause I can't see them
sometimes doesn't mean they're not always there.
EM waves, definitely...
Which, of course, would be the simplest explanation
for the cell phone's odd behavior...
Except... That banana was...
This humble kitchen appliance... is a time machine!
Hmph! Whatever.
Oh, dear... I hate leaving Faris here in the dark all alone.
Look away.
'Kay.
The man's a universe unto himself:
ever expanding and plagued by entropy.
Of course it'd be Shining Finger...
Come on, Titor. Respond to my damn text...
I don't like being held in suspense.

You have a new message
John Titor
Are you for real?
Thank you for contacting me.
Regarding the screen cap you sent of that code:
it is indeed a proprietary programming language
developed by IBN.
You'll need an IBN 5100 to un-encrypt it.
Good luck finding one, though.
Hop to, people! The lab is now at Def Con One!
Super top secret emergency protocol's in full effect!
Okarin. You're kind of scaring me...
Wake up, pork pie!
Our battle with the Organization is about
to reach a frenzied pitch!
We have the means to smoke them out of the shadows!
D'you just say something about pie...?
Focus on SERN, damn you!
Puppet masters of an inconceivably vast
worldwide conspiracy?!
Dark overlords obsessed with twisting science
to their own vile and nefarious purposes?!
The world needs only one despicable mad scientist...!
We have to realize our goal of global dominion
before the upstarts cut us off at the pass!
'Kay, I'm just gonna say it: I'm lost.
Here's the plan... we track down and snatch up an IBN 5100...
That done, we crack SERN's code
like eggs over a cast iron skillet!
Into the breech, friends!
Uh... I hate to tell you... But I gotta work today.
I stand alone.

Moeka
This was a nice jacket when I woke up today.
How can you not have dug up a single lead yet...?
Bacon-fed moron...
There a reason you're scowling at me?
This look's not meant for you... Rest assured.
Yeah, well... Then knock it off.
Sulking, are we...?
To her credit,
Mayuri felt you might be inclined to irritability...
Don't you think you're a bit too old
to rely on such childish tactics?
Why hello, Kettle. My name is Pot.
Anyway, what'd you want to talk about?
It's very simple, Christina.
I want to you dispense with the attitude
and come back to the lab on assignment.
You consider that the attitude might have something
to do with that name?
Kindly let me finish, Zombie.
When do you ever?!
How did I end up in league with a head-case like you...?
From this point forward,
my curiosity can suck it up or go to Hell.
What...? Seriously?!
What's wrong now? Is it bad news?
You've no idea. Wait...
Suppose this text obsessed girl's in bed
with the Organization?
What Organization?
The only one that matters!
A big, transnational conglomerate secretly pulling
our strings from the shadows!
Oh, wonderful. You're one of those... A conspiracy nut.
What's wrong?
Uh... Nothing.
What do you want from me?
I said it was nothing! Pursue it and you loose a tooth!
Lashing out... No matter...
Come with me to recover my laundry
and I'll give you your mission.
Uh...
I'm not some slave girl on a chain... Wait, laundry?
Hmmm. Interesting setup.
Your hotel doesn't have one?
No, it's too ritzy for that kind of thing.
'Sides, I'm not really all that comfortable
with leaving my clothes in public.
Well, observe how the other half lives
and be grateful I ushered you across that--Still no change?
Why would there be?
It's a washing machine, not a particle accelerator.
Oft times the most enigmatic features of the universe
couch themselves in the commonplace.
Who, for example, could've predicted
a cell phone transforming a microwave into a time machine?
It's not a time machine!
Huh?
Listen... Time machines are fiction...
You've seen what you wanted to see, that's all.
Keep on with this idea that you've somehow
discovered one and I'm walking.
Why do you insist on denying the evidence of your own senses?
I'm not.
Hah! But of course...!
Some sort of trauma... I see it... Clearly...
You were struck by a bolt of noonday lightning on the plains
of Arkansas at age five, left to fend for--
Shut up.
Then what?
Theoretical limitations, that's what! It's impossible.
Theories are no more than lexical chicanery...
The love poetry of imbeciles...
Accept what you've seen. Come on.
No.
You know, this stubbornness will end--
I said no... so lay off...!
I'm not going to get lost down the same blind alley as dad!
I'm sorry. That was uncalled for.
No, no!
I'm quite satisfied with the outburst
I wheedled out of you just now.
Well played, me!
Anyway, the point is, your microwave is not,
nor will it ever be, a time machine.
Yeah, yeah...
Listen, while you're here,
I'm sorry I made you join the lab...
You, don't have to stay...
But I want you to know I'm not one to hold a grudge...
Your lab designation will remain open
in the event that you ever change your mind...
the 004 slot will forever and always belong to you.
Oh, quit trying to act all cool!
Hey! Damn it, that was like the perfect sign-off!
It might have been, yeah; if your laundry wasn't still here.
If anyone's leaving, it should be me. Goodbye.
Ugh, what?!
I believe in street argot, the phrase is "payback's a bitch."
Now you can go.
See you around. Never.
Hold it.
Hey! Watch the jacket!!!
I meant to pick your brain about the IBN 5100.
And that would be...?
An old PC.
What for?
There's that curiosity again...
You really want to know?
No...! Maybe an overview...
Hmph.
Very well... The IBN is connected to SERN's secret plot.
We need the machine's unique functionality
to decode the proprietary programming language SERN uses
to mask all interdepartmental exchanges vis-à-vis
its covert time travel experiments.
Are you appropriately shocked?
Right... That's what I get.
Oh, I see... Sarcasm, huh?
Well Patter off to that veil of ignorance you call a life, then!
Mark my words, Christina:
you will rue the day you saw fit to underestimate me!
Where are you getting that name from? Gah...
We need the machine's unique functionality
We need the IBN 5100's special functionality.
to decode the proprietary programming...
That's what I get for fraternizing with know-it-alls.
A PC?
Yeah. A really old one...
and it only costs fifty-one hundred yen...
Least I think so.
Uh. Hold on... You don't mean...?
Too-too-roo! Guess what, Okarin?
I found something out that's going to put
a big fat smile on your face.
No Cell Phones
No cell phones, big-shot.
Faris said she's totally seen the computer you're looking for!
No Cell Phones
Isn't that awesome!
I said--
Hey!
Damn kid.
This doesn't cover your bill!
Faris, Meow-meow! Faris, Meow-meow!
Faris, Meow-meow! Faris, Meow-meow! Faris, Meow-meow!
Okay... The Hell...?
Hiya! Welcome Meow-sters!
The competition for the Faris Cup is about to begin,
so I hope you've brought your game-face!
Who here thinks they have what it takes
to get their name on a specialty omelet?
AHHHHHH! Faris, meow-meow!
Faris, meow-meow! Faris, meow-meow!
Wh-What dimension did I fall into?
Hey! Too-too-roo!
Mayuri...
Perhaps you can explain what I'm witnessing here...
Has there been a gravity distortion...?
Silly... It's the Faris Cup.
Huh?
That's when Faris plays Rai-Net Battler
with anyone who wants to step up.
Kyouma!
Have you come to challenge me?
You're kinda late,
but it's not unusual for me to take ten at a time,
so I can squeeze you in... Just go--
Thank you, no!
I've come here to lay my hands on the IBN...
You will tell me where it is!
That so?... I'll be glad to tell you if you agree to play.
Uh! Stop spouting off nonsense...!
I'll have you know that nothing less than the fate of the world
hangs in the balance here...! I've no time for games--
The Faris Cup is for people who want to compete;
everyone else must wait outside.
Is it now acceptable for a maid to banish her young master...?
I need that PC!
Can't hear you.
Be warned, my dear: time demands I not go easy on you.
Sounds like someone's feeling confident.
C'mon. Think it through...
You do know that Faris ranks nationally, right...?
Daru... Behold... as I take your lady-friend here to school.
My strategy is absolutely failsafe.
I'll bet it is.
Special codename... K. B. O. O. M.!
Otherwise known as KAH-BOOM!
Certainly sounds awesome...
You intrigue me.
Feign impassivity while you can...
The moment my strategy detonates, your national ranking
will be summarily reduced to brick-dust and tears.
You're passionate... That's good.
Remember our deal...
By engaging in battle,
I secure the right to be told everything
you know about the IBN... Agreed?
Kitties never lie.
Bring it!
Prepare to face an opponent
who will change your view of the game!
I surrender!
Well that was a lot of build up for a lot of nothing...
That was your big, balls-out strategy?
Huh... If I didn't know better,
I'd say you intended to be a suicide bomber...
Kaboom... K B... O... O. M... Ooooooh...
Note: Self-destruct = Jibaku
Lamest. Anagram. Ever. ...Oh crap...!
Now...! The intel I require if you would please, Faris...
What?
He recovers quickly.
You're sure demanding for a loser.
Lest we forget, I didn't agree to win, I agreed to participate.
See... The most formidable foe
is one who cares not a whit for the game.
Is that fair?
Well... I'd have to look it up... but...
All's fair in love and war! I was brilliant!
Brilliant? Dunno about that... Cheesy, definitely.
Silence...! Where've you got the IBN 5100?!
I don't.
Of course you do!
Dad had one around the house when I was little,
but that was years ago... It's long gone now.
Eh? Blast...! Your special move!
You actually used it against me...
It's the Side-Saddling... Question Dodge!
How did you know...?! Well, kudos to you...
Indeed you've somehow seen right through me...
Very well done.
Was that really all you knew?
Sorry... Last time I laid eyes on an IBN
was at a shrine somewhere in Akihabara.
Wait... A shrine?
"Kurisu. Good to hear from you all the way over there in Japan.
Hope you're enjoying yourself.
Posed your question to the professor and he said that,
yes, the IBN 5100 is indeed able to work
with special programming languages that antedate Basic."
He was right?
Huh. A PC... I'd have to run it by my father.
It's an IBN 5100.
He may not recognize the name,
but if he let's me have a gander at it I'll know.
Okay. I'll ask him.
It's all on you now. Code words, please.
Uh, El Psy Congress...?
It's Congroo!
Go ahead.
It's me.
Me who...?
I know a lot of people by that name...
Though I have to say...
You sound like someone I once knew in Paris.
You're like the most impossible human being I've ever met.
Could it be my errant assistant?
When did you change your name from Christina!
Will you give it a rest?!
There's that ever-present attitude.
You bring it out of me!
Hmph. What do you want?
Where are you?
Why would you want to know?
No reason.
En route to Yanabayashi Shrine, if you're so disinterested--
Oh, a hang up. Very classy. Harassment!
What was that call all about?
I wanted to know where you were.
I don't remember asking you to show up.
Well, That's understandable, since you didn't.
Sorry to keep you waiting for so long.
Ah. Did you talk to him?
Yeah... And you're not going to believe this,
but the one we've got lying around
just happens to be the model you're looking for.
It is?!
Hold on, are you...? You're talking about an IBN 5100?!
Uh-huh... Um... Who's your new friend?
Assistant... So, where's it stashed?
Uh... Hey! Don't just blow me off! Introduce us...!
I think you can do a little better than "assistant."
We're not here for an ice cream social,
and you're lucky I deign to call you that.
You chauvinistic son of a...
Fine. Whatever makes you happy.
This is Makise Kurisu. My assistant.
Good... But, for the record, I'm not his assistant...
So... what was your name?
Ruka Urushibara. Hello.
How old are you?
I'm actually turning seventeen this year.
One year younger than me...
What...? I don't believe that...
You look so... I don't know, put together... I'm jealous.
Oh, please... You're way prettier.
Um... I, uh... I'll go get dad...
That... was hilarious.
Did I say something wrong?
Wow.
I'm having a hard time believing this day's actually come.
Uh, why is that exactly?
Well, you see...
The person who sort of donated this thing to us
made a point of saying that someday a young man
in dire need of it would turn up.
Til then we were just supposed to look after it...
I guess it had to have been something
like ten years ago now.
Makes perfect sense...
It's Fate; the tides of destiny. Stein's Gate has chosen!
Again with that?
Wow. It really is the right model. That's crazy.
This is fantastic.
Is that what you're looking for then?
Any chance we might borrow it?
I don't see why not.
I'm in your debt, good sir! Lift with your knees.
Uh-uh.
Damn it, Christina, earn your keep!
Stop calling me that!
Why don't I get you a cart...
I wouldn't dream of imposing...
You've done quite enough... You should be ashamed!
How dare you put the man out?!
Oh, please...!
Do you even listen to yourself talk...?!
You're a loon!
Can't have too many friends, right?
I hope my Ruka here takes a page from you two.
Yeah.
Wait here. It won't take a second.
Your dad's a sweet guy.
You really think so?
I'm not going to get lost down the same blind alley as dad!
Excuse me?
Nothing.
Sorry... It, uh...
Looks like the cart's seen better days.
Things you don't think you'll be doing
when you wake up in the morning...
Stop whining and put your back into it.
Hey...
Come on.
Never mind then!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Kindly refrain from taking your frustrations out
on my lumbar, please!
Hang on! How is it that
I'm the one who has to schlep backwards?!
Because that's the direction you're facing.
I can't be facing backward, genius.
Sure you can! I believe in you!
Appreciate the encouragement,
but I really think we need to be moving sideways... Scratch that!
I know we need to
'cause I'm about to drop this thing on your freaking toes!
