[Pharoh Amon Khan III]

Doc Odine
"Eghhhhhh!"
"I kept this a secret to surprise you...It iz because of me, Odine!"
"I researched Ellone's power long ago."
"I made out a pattern from ze electric current running through Ellone's
brain."
"Once ze pattern was determined, it was easy to mechanize."
"It may only be a toy right now, but in ze time of Ultimecia, it iz an
impressive working machine!"
"Which means there iz a machine which imitates Ellone's power."
"It iz I who made ze first model of zat machine."
"I named ze machine 'Junction Machine Ellone'!"
"It iz a wonderful thing to know that my invention is used in ze future!"

Squall
"Junction Machine Ellone."

Laguna
"That's about it."

Squall
"So Sorceress Ultimecia came to know about Ellone, from that machine.'

Laguna
"And Elle became Ultimecia's target."
"You can't blame Odine. It's useless."

Doc Odine
"You vant to go outside!? You vant to fisticuffs!?"
"Ok, we continue the story!"

<<No>>

Doc Odine
"Zat is too bad."

<<END CHOICE>>

My assumption of why Odine made the machine was wrong. I didn't remember exactly until just now I went to Icybrian and found the script. So, I'm knocking off my statement of Odine. I misinterpretated him. And I'm challeneging myself to say "but" it could be that some other scientists continued based upon his notes to evolve the JME. But that just bring us back to the unknown future or perspective. Basically, it's as irrelevant as assuming that Rinoa 'obviously' has a successor or not.

Let's continue, shall we?
