Daniel: Dinosaur exhibit... Loved these things when I was a kid...! Daniel: ...Hmm... Looks like it's closed today... Daniel: ...Well, let's see what that security guard can do for us... Daniel: Hey there! How ya doin'? Guard: Doin' okay... Pretty cold day, though... How 'bout yourself? Daniel: We're with the NYPD. We're lookin' for a Dr. Klamp. He works here, doesn't he? Guard: Sure does. As a matter of fact, he's up there in his room right now. Guard: Did he do somethin'? Daniel: Nah, we just wanna talk to him. That's all. : Thank you. It shouldn't take long. Daniel: ...Place is pretty creepy without any people... Guard: You'll find him in the research lab on the second floor. Guard: He's been pretty busy for the past few weeks... Doesn't come out... ever... Guard: Just go on up the steps. He should be there. Guard: Lemme get the door. Guard: Oh, by the way, could you sign in? It's policy. Lets us keep track of who comes in. Guard: Could ya sign in? It's policy around here. Daniel: Thanks, ! : Gee, Daniel, you sure you don't wanna run down here and do it yourself? Guard: Notebook's on the counter. Thanks. : Just my name? Guard: Yup. That should be enough, unless you want to leave your number too... Daniel: Thanks. Guard: ...Hey, just between us... the doctor's a bit... you know... just be careful. Guard: Just hope this place doesn't explode or anything one of these days, you know? Guard: Well, I'm about to head on outta here... Hope you two get the information you need... Daniel: Hey... What's wrong...? Daniel: C'mon! Stop that! Daniel: Hey, ! Daniel: Over here! Daniel: ... Think he's in there...? Daniel: Hey, it's open... Let's check it out. Daniel: Excuse me... Hello...? ...Hey...! Dr. Klamp! Daniel: ...Dr. Klamp!! Klamp: I hear you. : We're with the NYPD. We'd like to ask you a few questions... : Professor, we're looking for clues concerning the incident which occurred... Klamp: Are you accusing me? Klamp: ....!! : What...! This AGAIN...! What is THIS...?! Daniel: What's wrong? Are you OK, ? : Y, yeah... Daniel: We'd like to ask you about the mitochondria research you've been doing... Klamp: ...NYPD, huh? Why're you interested in MY work? : The suspect mentioned that the mitochondria would be set "FREE". Now, do you... Daniel: That "suspect" ignited people without laying a finger on them... Then it transformed into some kind of creature and ran off. : Since she mentioned mitochondria, we were hoping you could supply us with some info. Klamp: Haha... You two have absolutely NO idea what the true mitochondria is like... DO YOU?! Klamp: The mitochondria... possesses its own unique genetic code. : Its own...? Are you saying it's a separate organism...? Klamp: Precisely. Daniel: ...Kinda like a parasite or somethin', huh? Klamp: PARASITE?! That's an interesting way of describing this most fascinating creature! WE cannot LIVE without the mitochondria...! Do you understand?! The mitochondria creates energy for us! Without it, we're NOTHING! WE are HERE because the mitochondria ALLOWS us to be here... Klamp: Our brain, for example... The brain functions due to the interaction between axons and dendrites. Klamp: This interaction is possible due to the energy the mitochondria provides. Did you know the mitochondria is capable of discharging 200,000 V of electricity? This not only pertains to electrical discharge, but also applies to heat energy as well. : Heat? Daniel: Then the combustions from last night were...!! Klamp: ...... Klamp: ...For a human to burn and melt, 1600 degrees of heat must be generated. There are several hundred mitochondria present within a single cell... If all the mitochondria in the body began functioning at the same time... a tremendous amount of energy would be generated and released. Melting a human into a puddle of fluid would be a simple task with so much energy... : So you're saying that the "mitochondria" ignited these people?! Daniel: Professor, you may be right in that we need the mitochondria to live... But in the end, we're just USING them for energy... right? Klamp: Haha... You have NO idea. The mitochondria has control over an organism's growth. Take this hand, for example. Before we're born, the hand is merely a glob of flesh. But when cells between the fingers deteriorate, that's when the fingers first form. When the cells which make up the body aren't needed anymore, it receives a signal to die. Klamp: This signal is initiated by the mitochondria. When it is relayed, the genetic information in the nucleus is cut off and in essence, dies. Klamp: The same can be said for "aging". The mitochondria mutates 10 times faster than cells. Of course, this also applies to mutant forms of mitochondria as well. When too many mutant mitochondria multiply, energy production level decreases... The decrease in energy production is associated with the "aging" process. Klamp: So? Are you still stupid enough to say that WE are the higher species? Daniel: But you're NOT saying that the mitochondria is doing all this "CONSCIOUSLY", right?! Klamp: When I said that the mitochondria could mutate 10 times faster than normal cells, I also meant that they could evolve at a rate 10 times faster... Klamp: Since the beginning of creation, the mitochondria has been evolving at this rate. It's no surprise if they possess a power beyond our cognition. No surprise at all... Daniel: ... Klamp: Let me tell you something. There was a scientist who tried to determine the mutation rate of the mitochondria. With this, the scientist wanted to establish a connection with human ancestry. In 1987, it was announced that the root of all humans can be traced to ...a single woman in Africa. This finding was announced around the world. And with this, the mitochondrial theory spread like wildfire... ...You know what they call the root of it all...? "Mitochondria Eve". Splendid name... just incredible...! : ...EVE?! : The suspect in yesterday's case called herself EVE...! Klamp: ....?! WHAT?! Daniel: Hey! If you know anything you better not be holding back on us! Klamp: ...SHE called herself... Eve...? Sorry, but I've told you what I know... I'd like to return to my studies now... I believe you know the way out. Daniel: HEY! You better explain WHAT THE HELL is going on HERE!!! : Daniel... forget it... Let's just go... Daniel: Goddamit...! Daniel: DAMN! : I could've sworn I've seen this man... somewhere... Map jump point Jump Forget it In progress Guard: Still workin'. : Can't just leave him. Maeda: So THIS is the American Museum of Natural History! It's... just as I imagined...! Maeda: I can find a research facility in this building? Daniel: Yeah. Hopefully, we won't run into the jerk who runs it. Since he's been evacuated, it should be empty... Daniel: Looks like someone forgot to lock up...! Daniel: The lab's on the second floor. See ya up there. Maeda: What is this...? : Oh...! It's a prize exchange machine. You can exchange these for medals when you get a correct answer on the quiz machines. I used to play this with my sister all the time... Daniel: This is it... Everything you need should be in this room... Maeda: Hmmm.... for a lab in a museum, it does have fairly extensive equipment. Daniel: So, whaddya wanna test? Maeda: Yes, yes... Of course... Let me see... Maeda: I was able to extract a gel-like substance from 's clothing. : Gel...? Is it from Eve? Maeda: Yes... It appears to be a remnant of Eve's cells... Maeda: At the cellular level, her power cannot be as strong as said previously. Maeda: Ow...!! Daniel: Hey, what're you doing? Maeda: I just want to conduct this experiment to see whether or not... Maeda: Hmmm.... Yes... yes... this is... exactly as I... It's just as I thought... Go ahead, take a look. : ...... What is it...? FMV 11 : Your cells are completely surrounded... by THEM... Maeda: As you can see, the mitochondria, er, EVE has taken over the nucleus. In a similar manner, the beasts that attacked you probably experienced the same thing. Daniel: Does the mitochondria really have the power to control the nucleus? Maeda: No, the "normal" mitochondria never has such power. But Eve's mitochondria has gone through tremendous evolutionary changes. Maeda: This is what I think happened to Eve's mitochondria... Maeda: Normally, mitochondria require oxygen when they generate energy called ATP. So at this time, the mitochondria requests oxygen from the nucleus. Without the energy supply from the mitochondria, the nucleus cannot function. So in essence, the two organelles constantly rely on each other. But in this case... It seems that Eve developed the power to reverse this symbiotic relationship. Evolution, or even mutation seems likely in this case... Daniel: Reversed the cycle?! Maeda: Look at this... even with a limited number of cells, her cells have this much power. Can you imagine how much power Eve has within her WHOLE body...?! : Maeda. Maeda: Y, yes?! : Could you test my cells? Maeda: Yes... of course, but... : I want to know... I want to know why I have the power to fight her... I want to know where I stand with her!! Daniel: ... : Please, Maeda! I NEED to know WHY! Maeda: ...Yes... Of course... : Thanks, Maeda. Maeda: Could you step over here, please? Maeda: I'll need your arm... : Like this? Here. Maeda: Yes, yes... : Ow...! Maeda: Let me just set this up here... Maeda: ....! Maeda: I think you'd better see for yourself... : What is it? Is something wrong? FMV 12 Maeda: Do you realize what is happening? Your mitochondria are supplying more energy to the nuclei of your cells... It's almost as if they are protecting the nuclei from Eve's mitochondria... Daniel: Why does 's mitochondria have this kind of power? Maeda: I don't know... I just... Maeda: Are you familiar with Richard Dawkins theory of the 'Selfish Gene'? In simple terms, it states that 'genes act in a manner to preserve and ensure survival of the species.' Daniel: Hey man, I don't read those scientific journals... What're you tryin' to say? Maeda: Depending on how you look at it, you can say that Eve is... trying to destroy all mitochondria except her own. Maeda: In response to that, 's mitochondria has developed the power to rebel... Daniel: Why only 's? Shouldn't it be the same for us as well? We should also have that power based on... Maeda: That seems to follow the natural order of things, but I'm sorry, I don't know why... : ! Daniel: !? : ...Professor?! Klamp: ...What're you doing in my lab?! This is breaking and entering! Daniel: Why haven't you evacuated the city yet?! Klamp: I'm asking WHY you people are IN MY LAB...!! Daniel: We... we're just... : We've received orders to evacuate this city. Professor, you really should... Klamp: I tell you... COPS are the ones corrupting this fine city...! Daniel: Wanna repeat that, buddy? Maeda: I'm... I'm sorry..! It was my fault, you see... I asked them to bring me here... Klamp: Who the hell are YOU? Maeda: Oh... I... I'm Kunihiko Maeda and I'm a scientist from Japan... Klamp: ...You were using my electronic microscope... Klamp: Wha...?! What is this?! Where did you get this... specimen?! Klamp: YOU! Where did you get these... CELLS? Maeda: Th... those are.... I... I... I don't know... Klamp: Do you take me for a FOOL?! Klamp: With cells like these... They MUST affect the body's natural state...! Maeda: Err... um... uh... Klamp: Oh, shut up! I'll just ask... ...Officer Brea...! Klamp: Your cells contain a tremendous amount of energy... Do you feel any... bodily changes? : I... Klamp: You should feel... somewhat... hot...? No? Speak up, officer... I can't hear you... Have you lost consciousness anytime recently? Klamp: Outstanding mutation... Klamp: By the way, your... Daniel: Hey! Daniel: Hey!! What the hell is THIS?! Why's my boy's name HERE?! Daniel: ...Lorraine!! Lorraine's on here too! KLAMP!!!! You TELL ME...!! Daniel: ...WHAT?! Daniel: YOU...!! Daniel: You tell me what that list is for!!! TELL ME, you hear?!!! Klamp: Let go of me... Klamp: I don't have to tell you... anything. : Daniel, calm down... Daniel: ....!! : Daniel! Daniel: ...DAMN!! Klamp: Get outta here!! Daniel: ... Klamp: NOW!!!! Daniel: You son of a...!!! : Sorry to disturb you. But we do have to officially warn you of the evacuation. Please remember that... Klamp: Officer Brea... Do you enjoy having that barbarian for a partner? Klamp: And... YOU... you're more capable than I thought... Maeda: ...Oh... uh.. no... thank you... er... bye... Klamp: ...It's too late now... it's too late to do anything now... Sewer Museum 1 Museum 2 Museum 3 Cruiser
