<Begin Log>

Dr. Montauk: Hello, Dipesh.

PoI-3172: Hello, Dr. Montauk. I hope that our last meeting…?

Dr. Montauk: I am sorry for my unprofessional behaviour. You… touched upon a sore subject.

PoI-3172: Of course. I will try to refrain from doing so in future.

Dr. Montauk: Shall we begin?

PoI-3172: This time, doctor, I have a question for you.

Dr. Montauk: Indeed? I suppose it can't be worse than your last.

PoI-3172: Well. What do you know of the origins of the Scarlet King?

Dr. Montauk: There are many theories. A creature from the abyss, some shambling thing of old, a denizen of Alagadda…

PoI-3172: They are all… I will not say lies. But the texts have changed, the knowledge has changed, the past itself has been changed by what came after.

"Does that mean he changed the past?" Rin asked.

Dr. Montauk: He has changed the past?

PoI-3172: No, his past has been changed for him. But now you tell me something. This should be a give and take, after all.

Dr. Montauk: That is not what-

PoI-3172: Why did you approve the Montauk procedure?

"I really want to know what is this procedure they keep talking about." Sakura questioned.

"I have a bad feeling about it." Jeanne said.

"IT'S A BRUTAL PROCEDURE, IT IS BEST FOR YOU TO NOT KNOW OF IT."

"Yeah... I think we don't need to know about it." Masih chuckled nervously.

There is a pause here for several seconds as Dr. Montauk stares at PoI-3172.

PoI-3172: I am sorry if I have offended you.

Dr. Montauk: I thought I made it clear that this is none of your business.

PoI-3172: See, the thing I don't get is that it should not have worked. Not in the way the Foundation does-

Dr. Montauk: This is not under discussion.

PoI-3172: What happened to Jacob, doctor? What happened to your brother?

"This must be why the doctor got angry when he asked this." Astolfo said.
