Steins;Gate 2

*トゥットゥルー - Pop culture "Shoko-tan Go" (Shoko-tan launguage). Sound when you discover something great in joy.
**ランデヴ－ - "Rendezvous" Chapter title - if may be a rederence of "Rendezvous technology" (ランデブー技術) though the formal word usage is "ランデブー".
*** the multiple "wwww" sign is the japanese laughing sign.
# (page 18) - H is often used as short form of Ecchi, which in japanese means lewd or similar word, for "hentai".
## (page 22) - The word "Hacker" was first pronounced (wrongly) as "Haka".

01
Right : Tut trut - today's bananas are tasty as always (heart)! Have some before performing experiments!

Far Left : Previously -
Okabe Rintarou (nickname Okarin) witnessed the murder of Makise Kurisu and mass disappearance at Akihabara - but no one around remembered either of the incidents! On top of that, other than encountering the supposedly dead Makise Kurisu, Okarin found happenings of his daily life increasing in conflict to all thing his has known. Conversations with childhood friend Mayuri and pal Dar uncovered contradicting information to his memories, as he begins to question if all his experience was just his imagination...

-I didn't make this up!

-Must be you and your imagination - no matter how I think of this!

[From the limited readable text on message board, from right panel]

Panel 1 (line by line, some words cut off):
229 Name : John Titor
-The knowledge of time machine assembly of people here is very
-By the way, barring further technology advances, there is probably no way to re-create another time machine
-as for the organizations in question, CERN, in 203 (last digit of the year unknown)

-Time Travel can be achieve through manipulating the gravity.
-The basic idea is to employ the twin paradox,
-However, time travel cannot be done by this alone.


234 Name : Hououin Kyouma
>>229
-Tebra Cylinder and Kerr Black Hole
-As I expected, you said exactly the same theory as when you appeared 10 years ago
-And the time machine you used was from 197 (year cut-offed)
-I knew this!



Panel 2
265 Name : John Titor
-This is really news to me.
-So do you believe the person that appeared 10 years ago was me
-If that's the case this must mean Hououin Kyouma had seen me from another parallel plane
-At least, I have not traveled to year 2000 yet.

-The key was that the revolving Black Hole has
-Regarding Kerr Black Hole, the Penrose
-Then, two Black Holes will be formed

267 Name : Anonymous
-You mean John Titor appeared 10 years ag

270 Name : Anonymous
->>268
-Houou san, you're imaginative aren't you!



Panel 3


274 Name : Hououin Kyouma
-I didn't make this up.
-Indeed, John Titor said the same things 10 years ago
-Books has been written on it before. Try looking for them in secondhand bookst
-There was gravity manipulating equipment
-That, too, was said by John Titor 10 years ago

312 Name : John Titor
-Indeed,
-My time machines wasn't created by SERN
-and the gravitation gear is slightly unstable.

-This gear causes Micro Singularity to appear
-By electron injection Micro Singularity
-The injected electron will initiate the process of rotation of Micro
-I am not the specialist in this, so the detailed assembly
-Man made Kerr Black Hole creation is not

-At 2010, SERN has already succeeded in creating Black Hole



04
-No one around had recollection of John Titor appearing 10 years ago...

-What on earth happened...

-Damn! It's almost like supernatural phenomenon happening to me! I quit! This has nothing to do with my expertise and is plain waste of my time!

-My work involves only in invention and developing gadgets in my club!

-Let's start Dar! On our experiments on Machine #8!

-Number 8? What's that!
[Handwritten : EVA?]

-Invention from our great Future Gadget Lab...



05
-Mobile Microwave (name pending)!!

[below, explanation]
Mobile Microwave (patent name pending)
The eighth invention of Future Gadget Lab.
This microwave can be remote-controlled through instructions via a mobile phone.
Meals placed in the microwave beforehand can be heated up at your preferred timing.
With this gadget you now enjoy hot meals the moment you step into your house!


-That's the one... But the fried takeaway that should have thawed froze back and the banana just turned into gel in there...
-Malfunctioning isn't it?
[handwritten at banana: Split]

-An Inventor's business is to verify all inconsistencies!

-You got Mayu-shi to bought those bananas?

-She may be a high school girl but she's one of the researchers here -
-It's only normal she supply our experimental materials!

-I sympathize with her...

-Timer setting is done through connection from this mobile...

-To heat for two minutes, input "#120" - we tried other timings for experimentation,

-And the banana somehow turned into gel!!



06
[Box : 2 minutes later]
[handwritten : Chi~n)
-It's done!

-Under the same settings, it'll turn into gel on this trial too......

[handwritten : Empty]
-!?

-............ ......Hey!
-Where's our banana?

-Yeah right, what happened to it?



07
-......Banana.

-Huh?

-You just tried some childish prank on me right? Give me back my banana!

-No I didn't.

-You're trying to tell everyone of your conjuring skills or something!? (angry sign)

-Wait! What the!? *LOLOL I'm sure you hoarded that! LOL

-I'm not a gorilla!

-Yeah, tell me how it disappears then!

-......

-Surely not.... tel... teleportation...!?

-......

-Calm, calm down and think... in rational terms!

-Right, bananas! We should just eat the remainder before we think anything again!

-Right right right... Bananas, bananas' here...



08
-Wh.... what what what the hell just happened-!!!

-Da Da Da Dar!! Tell me it's the same banana you mashed just now!!

-I... I don't know...　I didn't ascertain that banana...
-But this gel banana's on its bushel...!?
-Which mean the Mobile Microwave couldn't be the cause!?

-Hmmm.
-Looks like you do perform interesting experiments here!


09
-Wh...

-What's this zombie girl doing here!

-Me!? Zombie girl!?

-I've come for you, Okabe Rintarou san...
-Or do you prefer to be called... Hououin Kyouma san?

-!?

-How.... How did she know of my real name...! I've never told her! Don't tell me she's on Agency side...

-I heard about you from Hashida san after the conference -



10
-Your name and this place.

-What.... damn! Dar you traitor!!
[Handwritten, Dar : Oops.]

-I've come to confirm if you indeed witnessed my death...

-But I guess I'll investigate this first...

-You!! Don't touch our experimental data!!

[Handwritten: Lick]
-...Nothing wrong with the taste.
[Handwritten : Bad taste though]

-Ne, can you rerun the experiment again? I want to observe that.

-Hey, Chri... Christina...

-Who did you just call Christina!?

-There's nothing I can tell little brats that come uninvited to our Lab!

-Wh... What's this attitude!?

-Wait Okarin!



11
-Makise-shi's the grade-skipping genius that have from American University after all -
-I'm sure she'll be able to explain what happened better!

-Indeed...

-She's invited as the University Lecturer at UPX yesterday... and was a top brain that even a lecturer of Time Travel would rely on! She may be of use...

-If you want to know the workings of Mobile Microwave, can you be.... the Lab Technician of this place?
[Emphasis]
-As my assistant!

-I'm scheduled to return on America in August, so I can help only on [Emphasis]Advisory roles.
-Is that okay, Hououin Kyouma san?

[Sound words : Crackle, Crackle]
-Fine,
-Come, let's hear from you...



12
-Wait, don't start experiments in our Lab just like that!

-Okabe san and Hashida san, please look closely at the banana.

-Don't instruct me!!
-I'm the Mad Scient-

-I say just look at the banana!!


[Handwritten: Haaa?]

[Black]
-I say what's with the girl!? She look scary when she's angry! I thought she's just appearing out of nowhere and then she suddenly died on me!!
-Just when I thought she died on me she appears again and starting instructing a senior like me!! How much more willful can one get!?



13
-The gel bananas... appeared suddenly...

-What about the Microwave side?

-Ah...
-Em...

-At the 104th second...
-The Banana just disappeared...

-Look at this! I knew it's Teleportation!!
-The first in Humankind!!

-How can that be... Space warp can happen like that...

-In that case, genius girl - tell me your take on the phenomenon happening just now!

-....Have you tried anything other than bananas?

-Yes.
-But the only thing successfully teleported is the bananas!



14
-I wonder what important correlation is that -
-Is there special observations regarding this Microwave?

-Oh, I remember one...

-I changed the mobile phone used for connection from his to my own, and a huge electrical current discharge occurred!

-What again!?

-When did that happen!?

-Yesterday noon -
-When you're out to Doctor Nakabachi's Conference!

-Doctor Nakabachi...

-Wait Dar!
-Didn't you said Nakabachi's Conference was canceled!?


-Right,
-But Okarin and Mayu-shi went to that location irregardless of that anyway.

-Something's amiss... For all I remember that Conference was never canceled...
-The facts don't add up......



15
-By the way Dar...
-Didn't you receive my mail at that point of time?

-The one you showed me at UPX? About seeing me killed by a man?

-Huh? You mean that's not a prank by Okarin?

-I told nothing but the truth!

-If you insist, just check my mail history!

-A guest - what a rare sight!

-I'm Makise - looks like I'll be the Lab Technician for the time being.

-Hey really? We've a girl Lab Technician here!

-I've bought Fried Food, want some?

-Let's try the Microwave with this.

-Start the process Dar - sent message from your mobile to mine!

-Yes!
[handwritten : Pip]

-Wait! Don't tell me the food's going to be used as experiment!
-You can't-!!

-No! Mayuri don't open!!

-Heh?

[Sound words : Crackle Crackle Crackle Crackle]



17
[handwritten : KaBoom-!]
-Kyaaaa!!

-......
-...It..

-It just exploded!?

-No matter how big electrical current discharge was, A microwave couldn't have enough current to cause such an explosion...
-Was there some kind of mass increase?



18
-Or that's not an electrical current discharge...?

-...Kukukuku...

-?

-Huh-hahaha!! Just as I expected!! Look at this!!

-A time machine's just like this!?

-It's a lie-!!!

-Christina?

-Next day.

-........... ...........

-I'm sleepy...

-From that electrical discharge on, all the food put into the Microwave no longer turn into gel and just become hot food...

-Why it no longer work was unknown and Christina just ran out...

-She's annoying!

-Shining Finger... she's mailing me every 10 minutes!
[Handwritten : What lightning fingers!]

-Let go for meal Dar?

-Hmmm?



21
-What's the image!

-Large Hadron Collider!

-SERN's experimental facility and called HLC for short -
-I've hots for it!

-Your boundary for hots needs tightening!
-You first had hots for 2D characters and now feels for a machine...!
[handwriten, Okarin]
-You...

-...Hm? Wait!
-SERN.

-I remember Titor mentioning that SERN will invent the Time Machine in 2034 -

-Oh that guy? Titor just said so again, his appearance at @ channel just now caused a commotion!

-Whichever of the two Titor doesn't matter to me! Right now we're connected through a single keyword - "Time Machine"!

-...You point is?

-From what he's mentioned, We should start investigation from SERN!




22
-......Dar.
-Let's try hacking into SERN.

-...And this is your best stand-up comedian attempt?

-This is our best chance to find out on the Time Machine!

-What!

-Go! super-haker!!##

-And "Haker" - I'm sure you know it's "Hacker"!

-Now, this is my very dependable partner!
[handwritten : I'm in love with your skills!]

-But what's SERN!
-The largest Particle Physics Research Centre -
-And LHC is SERN's underground Particle Accelerator that was rumoured to have succeeded in creating a mini Black Hole!

-Black Hole...? Just like what John Titor said...

-Well, I guess the rumour's just a rumour.

[Box]
-20 hours later -

-It's

-It's done-!! (joy symbol)



23
-You... You did it?

-Right now we're looking at the mail log of the Department in charge of the Accelerator.

-Any trace of Time Machine?

-None of the mail contains that key word...
-But the keyword "Z Program" appeared over hundred times this recent few months.

-What the "Z Program"'s about...
-can be found in a pdf file, but was said to be...

-the state's top secret.

-......Fine... I'm fine with that!
-Let's check out the details!

-Whatever happens later, I'm not responsible!
[handwritten : Click]



24
-This... looks like some form program code,
-but I've never seen code of such pattern, and I've no idea of any password hacking on this too!

-What!? There actually exists such code that Dar can't figure too!?

-Seems so now.

-This... smells like conspiracy!! Even Dar can't decode... And I don't know how to contact Christina...
-What shall I do?

-I've no option left except to try hearing from Titor again!!

-Let's try sending our print screen to @ Channel to Titor!

-There's no way he'll reply......

-...I remembered! That woman... was trying to look for a IBN5100 machine too...!

-That woman?

-Dar, look for more information regarding SERN.
-I'll look for that legendary PC IBN5100!

-Huh?
-Where do you intend to look for it!

-If I secure the IBN5100 I'll be able to figure out...

-What I experienced at Akihabara, the Mobile Microwave, and things both Titor and I don't know!!
