Steins;Gate 1

*Only for use by MS.

tl by molokidan

1)
1: After exiting the Radio Hall,
2: I saw that all the people who had been walking around Akihabara had disappeared
3: and that some kind of satellite had crashed into the building.
side: The game that's all the rage in Akihabara is now a comic!!
4: Is this a dream...? Am I seeing a hallucination...?
5: Doot-do-doooo!
6: What's wrong, Okarin?
7: Mayuri!!

2-3)

our hands.

4)
1: So you're still here too!
2: Huh?
3: Everyone else disappeared all of a sudden! You saw it too, didn't you?!
4: Huh? What are you talking about?
5: Did the heat get to you?!
6: Waaaah, what are you doing?!
7: I think the heat's gotten to YOU!
8: Excuse me?!
9: I mean...
10: this place has always been deserted.

5)
1: Wh...
2: What?!
3: A special summer term class, eh?
4:
5: Wanna skip class and go to a maid cafe instead?
6(2b): I know what I saw...Akihabara was packed with people. Then, they all disappeared
before my eyes!
7: You still going on about that...? Wake up, man.
8: Look at that.

6)
1: The only thing the news has been covering is that satellite that crashed into the
Radio Hall.
2: The Radio Hall is currently being swamped by reporters.
3: Investigations are still going on regarding the reason behind the crash.
4: Expert sources say that--
5(2b): What a catastrophe, eh? I wonder if anyone died.
6: There hasn't been a word about Makise Kurisu...
7: Was that really all in my imagination...?
8: By the way, about the phone microwave...

7)
1: Hm? Are you talking about the machine we invented in the "Future Gadget Lab," the
inventor's club we created in a commercial building in Akihabara?
2(2b): Nice explanation. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
3: Why did those pieces of fried chicken come out frozen, when they were supposed to be
thawed? I still can't figure it out.
4: Any ideas, Okarin?
5: If my right arm, the super hacker Daru, doesn't even know about what happened, then
maybe Mayuri was right. Maybe the heat just got to me...
6: My opinion is that the phone microwave (tentative) is the key to opening
Steins;Gate...
7: Siiiiigh.
8: And so, Okarin's chunibyo delusions continue...
9(2b): Hey! I am NOT a chunibyo!
10: I am simply sensitive to the supernatural possibilities of this world...
11: Kyaa!
12: Ah...sorry.
13: No, I'm sorry...

8)
1: Excu...
2: Th...this is...
3: Makise Kurisu?!
4: Why is she here?!
5(2b): ...is something the matter?
6: Y...you're dead! How are you standing here right now?!
7: ...huh?

9)
1: Did she survive? No...she was stabbed by someone, splattered in blood...
2: I'm telling you, man, it was all in your head!
3: You sent me that text message a whole week ago, you know?
4: A week ago?
5: Impossible...I just sent Daru that message after confirming that she was dead...
6(2b): It wasn't a week ago! I saw Makise Kurisu's dead body a mere three hours ago!
7: Hey...can you please stop acting as if I'm dead?
8(2b): Oh yeah, but now that I think back...the timestamp was actually one
week later...like it came from the future or something.
9: From the future?
10: Look.

10)
1: The timestamp is the 28th -- today, one week after I initially received it.
text 1: It looks like
text 2: she was stabbed.
2: ...I sent this to you three hours ago!
3: Huh?
4: Intriguing...
5: ...I know I saw you.
6: Right after Dr. Nakabachi's presentation in the Radio Hall, you were stabbed and
killed by someone!!
7: I SAID, would you stop acting like I'm dead?!

11)
1: Besides, Dr. Nakabachi's speech was already canceled
2: because of the satellite crash.
3: Canceled?!
4: Things aren't making sense again...
5: Just like when I was with Mayuri.
6: This place was always deserted.
7: ...hey, you.
8: M-My name is Hououin Kyouma.
9: No it isn't.
10: (small: Well then,) Mr. Hououin, I'd like to hear more...
11: Ms. Makise, it's about time we...

12)
1: Ah...alright...
2: If you'll excuse me.
3: ...Something's really up with you today. What's wrong?
4: That's my line...
5: Let's just get a move on.
6: ...ok.
7: And so, Daru and I went to our college class.
8: To our surprise, the teacher was

13)
1: none other than Makise Kurisu.
2: I thought I was having deja vu, but it's the same person...
3: She's only 18 years old! Geez.

14)
1: Makise Kurisu...
2: Was that dead body really just my imagination...?
3: The next day--
4: I've been thinking...all this chaos revolving around Makise Kurisu may be part of a
big conspiracy.
5: You still haven't gone to the doctor yet?
6: The timestamp on that message leads me to think that it may have been interfered
with by some third party... (It's gotta be)
7: A text message from the future...

15)
1: You're like a time traveler. Or maybe it was just your message that did the
traveling?
2: I know I'm right! THEY are obscuring the truth!!
3: Argh!
4(3b): Your delusions are giving me a headache. I'm going on ahead to meet one-on-one
with Feiris-tan. See ya!
5: Curses! Daru got away...
6: ...this place is full of people.
7: Maybe I really was seeing things...
8: Ahhhhhh! ...No, this doesn't make sense!
9: tug.

16)
1: ...Hm?
2: ...um...
3: Wh...
4(2b): Who are you?! Why do strange women keep creeping up on me..?!
5(2b): I'm searching for the IBM 5100...the urban legend of Akihabara...

17)
1: The IBM 5100...?
2: That old PC from 1975 that John Titor was looking for?
3: ...Apparently...it's somewhere in Akihabara...
4: Have you ever seen it...?
5: I only know of the name...
6: This is so random...
7: Do you know anyone who might know more?
8(2b): Huh? Yeah...Daru might know about it...
9: M-my phone!!
10: Give me your phone number...
11: Hey, what do you think you're...
12: Relax. I'll give you mine too...
13: Huh?!

18)
1: beep
2: ...I'll send you a text message.
3: So talk to that Daru friend of yours for me...
4(2b): H...hey, wait! Who the hell are you, anyway?!
5: Kiryuu Moeka...
6: I work part-time at an editing production company near here...

19)
1: Welcome back, master!
2: Ahhh, it's Okarin!
3: Thanks for coming, Kyouma!
4: Mayuri, Feiris...
5: Are THEY chasing you again?
6: Pretty much.
7: Okarin, Okarin, what do you wanna eat today?
8: I'll leave that to you, Mayushii Nyan-Nyan.

20)
1: Yes sir-nyan!
2: Make yourself at home, Kyouma!!
3: Ahh...this place really is the #1 maid cafe in Akihabara. Feiris is so damn cute...
4: I can't believe Mayuri decided to work here.
5: What took you so long?
6: I was approached by some weird woman...
7: A weird woman?
8(2b): You know about John Titor, right?
9: Who?

21)
1: Gross...
2: The American guy who appeared in 2000 saying that he had traveled back in time from
2036! Don't you remember talking about this in high school?!
3: Huh?! I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
4: What is this, some new story you thought up?
5: No idea...?
6: You sure you just didn't forget?
7: Trust me.
8: Srange...Daru's been all over the internet.
9: The John Titor story really blew up on @chan, there's no way he wouldn't know about
it...

22)
1: How about the IBM 5100, then?
2: Oh, yeah, I know about that.
3: It's the rare PC that IBM made in 1975, right?
4: Yeah, that's it!
5: Titor also wrote about the PC himself on @chan.
6: It was a highly-advanced PC for the time, filled with all of IBM's original code and
technology.
7(2b): It was so expensive, (*tl note: $20,000) however, that it transformed into a
kind of legendary computer that no one person could get their hands on. There's an
urban legend saying a model exists somewhere in Akihabara, but it looks like no one's
found it yet.
8: So the urban legend isn't real, then?
9(2b): Who knows? There are a ton of weird shops in this town. It could be stuffed in a
back room somewhere for all we know.

23)
1: Why are you asking me about this all of a sudden, anyway?
2: N-no reason...
3: ...More importantly, why is SHE looking for an IBM 5100 in this day and age...?

4: It's so hot in here!

I think I saw this in a movie before. No one really thinks ahead with what they're
doing so things eventually get all fucked up.
