無能で低俗で社会の放射性廃棄物でもある人間の皆さんこんにちわ。
今日はそんなお前達の為に、妾が直々に矯正をしてやる事にしたのよ？　ま、このテクニカルサービスセンターを読んで、1バイトでも賢くなり社会に貢献できる生き物になりなさい。本
当はこのコーナーにサブリミナル効果によるクレンジングプログラムを入れようと思ったけど、さすがに止めたわ。雑巾の為にすることとしては労力がかかりすぎるもの。それにしてもお
前達は…	
Hello to you all, members of the vulgar and useless radioactive waste known as human society.
I came today to personally correct you all. I'll make you read this Technical Service Center, so you become at least 1 byte smarter and make yourselves useful to society.
I actually intended to put a Cleansing program with subliminal effects on this corner, but as you might expect, I had to terminate it. The troubles I'm going through just for a bunch of dirty strips of cloth. Anyway, you...
	サブフレちゃん、タイトルコールが終わったらすぐに質問に答えないとダメでしょ？ 	Subframey, shouldn't we begin answering the questions right after finishing the title call?
	わ、わかってるわよ！
…仕方ないわね。本来ならバイナリで答えるところだけど、今日は廃棄物言語に変換して2バイト文字で答えてあげるわ。 	I-I know that!
...It can't be helped. I was going to reply to all that in binary, but today I'll reply by converting the answers into the two-byte industrial waste language you all use.
	それじゃ、テクニカルサービスセンター、今回もどうぞよろしくお願いします！ 	Okay then, glad to be working this time in the Technical Service Center with you!
ハーヴェ様に質問です。
スレイブ街区にいたクレンジング済の人間はとてもダイブ出来そうにも思えないのですが、ダイブに使えないからあそこに居た、ってことなのでしょうか？
(らっしー)	
I've got a question for Lady Harve.
I didn't think that the Cleansed humans in the Slave District would be able to Dive at all, but were they there in the first place because they wouldn't be able to Dive?
(Rasshii)
	はぁ…初っぱなから、何てつまらない質問なのかしら。こんな質問に答え続けるのかと思うと、スリープ状態に移行したくなるわ。
答えは簡単よ。お前がクレンジングされて体験すればいいのよ。わかった？	
*sigh*... And right at the beginning I get a boring question? Should I bother continuing with replying to it, or just move over to Sleep Mode?
I'll just answer it the simplest way I can. It'd be better for you to experience Cleansing yourself. Understood?
	サブフレちゃん、ダメですよ。それは答えになっていません。
ここはクラスタニアじゃないんですから、ね？	
No, Subframey! That's no good as an answer.
Do you remember this isn't Clustania?
	……はいはい。もう、わかったわよ。メンドクサイわね。
スレイヴにいるニンゲンはクレンジング済みであり、かつダイブ要員よ。第一、クレンジングもしていないニンゲンをβ達にダイブさせるなんて怖くて出来ないわ。
β達に欠陥や障害が出る元凶になっちゃうでしょ？クレンジングされているニンゲンは確かに自我をほとんど持たなくなるけど、基本的な生活はちゃんと自分でしているのよ。
配給があれば食糧をもらいに行くし、夜はちゃんと寝るし…ダイブ要請があれば、自分のポッドに速やかに入るし。
これがクレンジングされていないニンゲンとあらば、食糧暴動は起こすし、小競り合いでケガするし、夜更かしするしダイブ要請してもポッドに入らないしで悲惨な事になるじゃない。	
...Okay, okay. I know. It's so annoying, though.
The Cleansed humans in the Slave District are all essential personnel for the Dives. In the first place, non-Cleansed humans would be unable to Dive into the βs because the βs would be too scared to let them do it.
And that's because they would reveal the main faults and handicaps these βs have. Cleansed humans have pretty much no sense of self, so they can subsist in the minimal conditions needed to harbor life.
As long as the food distribution system works, they will be fed, and they will go to sleep once night comes... but when we require them to Dive, they will rush into their Pods as fast as possible.
This is because non-Cleansed humans would cause revolts over the food, would have quarrels among themselves, would go to sleep late, and they wouldn't go into their Pods when we required Divers, which would be quite a tragedy for us.
	でも…ダイブは感情のぶつかり合いよ？
より波形がフラットに近い人達がダイブする事になるわけだし、効率的なダイブが可能なの？	
But... isn't Diving a mutual clash of feelings?
How can a Dive be effective if the Divers are people with waveforms that are just a bit above of being flat lines?
	まあ、感情的にならない分、クレンジングしていないゴミの方が良い結果が出る事もあるわ。でも、平均的に見た場合の効率とリスク、あと飼育環境面も込みで考えた場合、比べものにな
らない程現状の方が良いのよ。	
Well, it's true that for the non-emotional part, the trash that hasn't been Cleansed can have good effects. However, if we look at the average efficiency and risk, and also consider the environment in which they were raised, the Cleansed ones would have a much better effect: one that couldn't be compared to the normal trashy ones.
	そこまで計算して維持管理をしていたんですね。
さすがサブフレちゃん。	
So you even went as far as calculating, maintaining and administrating all of that?
That's great, Subframey!
	えへへ… 	
Ehehe...
	でも、今後はクレンジングはダメですからね。
お約束ですよ？	But you have to stop Cleansing from now on.
Do you promise to not do it anymore?
	…はーい…… 	
...Okay...
ティリアのテロメアの補充について質問です。
設定資料集によればティリアのテロメア補充はいくつかの理由で現実的ではないとのことですが、少なくとも消費量の問題については、ティリアの中核三角環と同等のコアを作成し、培養
槽にスタンバイさせたまま、ヒューマノイド形態への培養を行わずに運用すれば、必要にして十分なテロメア供給減になりうるはずです。
第一塔にはオリジン作成に関する記録や技術がシュレリア様の管理下に秘匿されていると思われますし、原初の塔やＶＩＳＴＡフレームにデータの一部が残されている可能性もありますか
ら、これらの情報が参考になるでしょう。
この点についてクリアしたうえで、ティリアの中核三角環にテロメアを補充するか、あるいは三角環の状態をデュプリケイトしたうえで換装するなどのシステムを開発（おそらくＶＲ２１
をベースにするなどの手段が採られるでしょう）すれば、ティリアのテロメア補充は可能ではないでしょうか？
もちろん莫大なコストはかかりますが…
(きむら秀一＠歩く電波塔)	
I have a question about replenishing Tyria's Telomeres.
According to the Setting Encyclopedia, there are several reasons why it isn't really possible to replenish Tyria's Telomeres, so at least about the rate at which she consumes them, if the Triangular Nuclear Loop that doubles as her core was created and then put in Standby inside a nurturing tank, without initiating the process to give her a humanoid shape, I'm sure it'd be possible to reduce the Telomeres it provides to just the mere necessary.
I think there are a lot of records and technologies related to the creation of the Origins at the First Tower, hidden under Lady Shurelia's administration, and since part of that data most likely also remained either on the Tower of Origins or in the VISTA frame, maybe they could be used as references.
Once this has been used to clear the problems, it could be possible to replenish the Telomeres of Tyria's Triangular Nuclear Loop, or even develop some sort of system that can duplicate the conditions of another TNL on it (most likely some method based on VR21), so wouldn't it be possible to replenish Tyria's Telomere with these methods?
Of course it would have huge costs, but...
(Kimura Shuuichi at the Walking Electromagnetic Tower)
	まあ、出来るんじゃないの？　妾の専門外だから何とも言えないけど。 	
Well, wouldn't it be possible? This goes beyond my knowledge, so I can't really say anything.
	この質問は私向きですね。
確かにテロメアの補充という観点から見れば問題は多めですが、もう少し視野を広げてテロメアにこだわらなければ方法はあるかもしれません。
そもそもテロメアの存在する理由は、レーヴァテイル自身を守る為です。フォローできないレベルの誤動作が発生する前に、その活動を絶つものです。
ですから、テロメアのみを補充しても、ティリアにとってあまりいい事はありません。もちろん、サキやフィンネルに補充したような、単純な移動分に関して取り戻す事にはあまり問題な
いとは思いますが。
もしティリアを本気で助けたい場合は、テロメアよりも中核三角環自体を交換する必要があります。テロメアはあくまでカウンタであり、それの指すところはニアイコールで中核三角環の
劣化度合ですから。	
This question is directed to me, huh?
It's true that if we look at it from the angle of Tyria's Telomere there are a lot of problems, but if we expand our field of vision a bit, maybe we could find some other method in which the Telomeres aren't a problem to worry about anymore.
By nature, the Telomeres exist to protect the body of the Reyvateil. Basically, they terminate its activity before any irreparable malfunctions begin occurring.
Therefore, even replenishing Tyria's Telomeres wouldn't be good for her. Of course, I think that there wouldn't be any problems if she could take back just the part of her Telomeres that she gave Saki and Finnel as replenishment, but it'd be bad for other reasons.
If you actually want to help Tyria, it would be necessary to go beyond mere Telomere replenishment and actually switch out Tyria's Triangular Nuclear Loop. After all, the Telomeres have a finite counter in the end, and they degrade as fast as the near-equal Triangular Nuclear Loop to which they point.
	でも、ティリアの中核三角環はβのそれとは全く互換性が無いわよ？
前にあの変態親父が言ってたし、確かに構造体を見るとその通りだし。 	
But Tyria's Triangular Nuclear Loop has zero compatibility with that of the βs, right?
That's what our perverted father said, and I'm sure I saw it being structured like that.
	クロガネ父上の事を悪く言ってはダメですよ？
でも確かにその通りなんです。ですから、もしクロガネが設計したティリア版の中核三角環設計書があれば、もしかしたら世界中の技術力を結集すれば、回復…といいましょうか、寧ろリ
ニューアルが可能ですね。	
You should stop saying bad things about our father, Kurogane.
But it's just as you said. So if Kurogane had any documents containing the specifications of the Tyria Version of the Triangular Nuclear Loop, and if you could gather all the technology available in the world, it would be possible to restore... no, better said, to renew her Triangular Nuclear Loop.
	ま、それまでに第三塔のリンカーネイションが正常に機能していればね。 	
Well, that would be for as long as the Third Tower's Rinkernator continues operating normally.
ヒュムノスの歌詞には日本語他、ヒュムノス語以外の言語も多々含まれますが、ヒュムノスというのはヒュムノス語以外でも謳えるものなのでしょうか？上級波動科学講座の搬送波につい

うのですが……。
私の理解が足りず、何か勘違いをしているんでしょうか？ 教えてハーヴェスターシャ！
PS：ソル・シエール大学の入試に向けて波動科学をしっかり勉強したいのですが、良い参考書が見つからず、泣く泣くテクニカルサービスセンターに泣きつくことにしました。オススメの
参考書があったらぜひ教えてください。
(Letith)	
I've seen all sorts of languages aside from the Hymmnos language, such as Japanese, being used for the lyrics of the Hymmnos Songs, but does this mean that it's possible to Sing Hymmnos Songs in other languages aside from the Hymmnos language? I read in the explanation on carrier waves from the Advanced Wave Science Lecture that discrepancies between the audible pronunciation and the high-frequency band of feelings would cause a considerable drop in the efficiency of the Song. So I thought that the parts Sung in Japanese would have a much lower transmission efficiency, but...Since my understanding is limited, I'm misunderstanding something here? Please tell me, Harvestasha!
PS: I want to study harder on Wave Science to prepare myself for the entrance exam to the Sol Ciel University, but I haven't been able to find any good books that I can use as reference, so I cling in tears to the Technical Service Center for help. If there are any good materials I can read up on afterward, please tell me about them.

妾だったら0b01011101010101010110101010010100101001/nで最大出力出せるけど、低スペックなお前達では到底ムリ、という事よ。	It means that 0b0010101110101110110101000010011101001011001101101/n

Because I can convey my feelings perfectly like this.
If you're looking for an answer about if it's possible to execute Hymmnos with other languages and if they would have effect or not, "it's possible and they would have an effect". However, as you said, it's true that their power would weaken to a certain degree. But it's inevitable, as you're a human.
This means that since I'm me, I can get the greatest output with 0b01011101010101010110101010010100101001/n, but to low-spec beings like you, that's completely impossible.
	翻訳しますね。
言語によって、やはり実行効率は変わってきます。ヒュムノス語は「導体Ｈ波に意味を持たせる」という目的に特化した言語ですから、実行効率としては最も高いです。
ただ、これは歌い手によりますが、他の言語の方が良いと判断する事もあります。それはその時の想いと密接な関わり合いがあるのですが、他言語の方がより強い想いで謳えると判断した
場合、ヒュムノス語以外を使うこともあるのです。
そこに法則はありません。ただ、自らの現在の状態においてベストな言語を選んでいるに過ぎないのです。	
Allow me to explain.
It's true that the execution efficiency will change depending on the language. As the Hymmnos language is a language specialized for the goal "of giving meaning to the Dynamic H-Waves", it has the greatest execution efficiency. However, the Singer might decide that she would be better off using other languages. It's very closely related to the feelings she has at that time, but if she decides that she would be able to Sing stronger feelings with other languages, she would use other languages aside from the Hymmnos language.
There is no set rule for this. Still, this is no more than choosing the language she deems the best for her current situation.
	ま、ヒュムノス語の方が平均的に高効率で紡げるけど、他言語の方が普段の生活と密接だから、使い方によっては瞬間的には最高効率になる事もある、って事よ。
あーあ、やだやだ。これだから不安定な生き物は嫌いなのよ。妾のように０１で命令すれば必ず一定の効果が得られるのに。	
Well, the Hymmnos language might allow to craft Songs that have a high efficiency in average, but as the other languages are more connected to ordinary life, it'd be possible for them to show momentary peaks of extreme efficiency at specific instants according to how they are used.
Agh, it's useless. That's why I hate unstable life forms. In my case, I could get a fixed efficiency for sure with just giving orders with 0s and 1s.
	それは、増幅塔に対して命令するときにしか意味がありませんよ？ 	But that wouldn't have any meaning beyond giving orders to the amplification Towers.
ご機嫌麗しゅうございます。
疑問に思うことがあった為、不躾ながらお便りを差し上げました。
第三世代が導力範囲外に出た場合「ヒュムノスを心の中で紡げなくなる（第71回）」、との事ですが、それはつまり詩魔法サーバーとのコネクションがロストするという事なのだと推測で
きます。
ならばSHサーバー内に「精神世界の本体が有る（第60回）」β純血種が、仮に塔の導力範囲外に出た場合、どうなるのでしょうか？
中核三角環と定常H波とのコネクションが切れてしまったら、最悪「消えて」しまうような気がするのですが…
些末な事ではございますが、お答え頂ければ幸いでございます。
(みぞれ屋)	
Salutations.
I've just come up with this question, so while it might be a bit impolite, I'd like to receive some information on it.
While Third Generations [become unable to craft Hymmnos inside their minds (Issue #71)] once they leave the Symphonic Power area of their Tower, I'd guess that means in short that their connection with the Song Magic Server has been lost.
Then, what would happen to a Pureblooded β-type if they got out of the Symphonic Power area of her Tower temporarily, considering [her Soulspace itself is (Issue #60)] inside the SH Server?
I've got the feeling that in the worst case she would [disappear] because the Static H-Wave connection of her Triangular Nuclear Loop has been cut, but...
It might be something trivial, but I'd be very glad if you could answer me this.
(Shaved Ice Shop)
	消えるわよ。身体が維持できなくなるわ。命が惜しければ塔の周りにいなさい。はぁ、これがレーヴァテイルの唯一の欠点よね。むしろニンゲンにこの性質が有れば良かったのに。
そうすれば、塔の遙か遠くへレールガンでぶっ飛ばしてあげれば、綺麗サッパリ水になって、ゴミが資源に早変わり！ホント、世の中って上手くいかないものね。	
She would disappear because it'd become impossible to preserve her body. If she values her life, she should stay near her Tower. *sigh*, this is the only flaw of the Reyvateils. I'd be so glad if the humans had this property instead.
If that was the case, I could send them flying with a railgun far beyond the Tower and turn them into water, quickly turning waste into resources! Really things never seem to go well in this world.
	えっと、厳密にはすぐに水にはなりませんが、遠くに離れるにつれてサーバーとの疎通が出来なくなりますので、レーヴァテイル自身としては眠くなってきます。
昏睡状態に陥ってから水になるまではまだ更にもう少し離れる必要がありますから、寝ちゃったら戻ってきてください。
水になってしばらくするとサーバー側が死亡判定を出し、中核三角環との更新をオフラインにします。すると完全な死になります。	
Umm, strictly speaking, they wouldn't turn into water instantly. However, the farther the Reyvateil goes away from the Server, the increasingly harder it would get for the Server to keep communication with her, and thus she would get sleepy.
Once she has fallen into that lethargic state, it would be necessary to carry her away a little farther from the Server for her to turn into water, so if you begin feeling sleepy, please make sure to turn back at once.
Once she has turned into water, the Server would immediately determine she is dead, and it would update the status of her Triangular Nuclear Loop as being offline. In other words, she would completely die.
前回のMETHOD_HYMMELI/.の質問を見て思ったんですが、確かインフェル・ピラはモード・メタファリカになって大陸維持を始めると、境界門は閉じて他のモードへのチェンジは出来なくな
る、という話があった気がしますが、この場合、他のI.P.D.に想いを伝えたり導力を分けたり、ということはどのようにして行われるのでしょうか。
また、今回必要だった導力量を供給するためには、I.P.D.でないと無理だったということですよね。第一塔依存のレーヴァテイルでは力不足で。
もしもココナが非I.P.D.だったら、と思うと笑えませんね・・・。
(吹鳴)	
I think I saw a question about METHOD_HYMMELI/. on the previous issue, and I think it was said there that once Infel Phira has changed into Metafalica Mode and begins maintaining the continent, the Boundary Gates would get closed and the Mode Shifts would become impossible to execute. However, on this, how would the IPDs be able to convey their feelings to each other and share their Symphonic Power?
And I think it'd be impossible for non-IPDs to transmit the Symphonic Power they needed for that occasion. That's quite the weakness for the Reyvateils connected to Ar tonelico.
I thought that it wouldn't have been funny if Cocona hadn't been an IPD...
(Whistleblower)
	上の方で優秀な人工知能が高度なことを語っているわね。私も負けないように回答しないと。
モード・メタファリカが完全なるオールグリーンになると、様々な機能が終了するわ。その最たるものがモードシフトよ。
元々インフェル・ピラは大地の核となるのが目的だったから、一旦大地の核になったらモードシフトする必要も無いもの。というか、あのモードシフトというものこそ蛇足だと思うのが私
の持論よ。
それでモード・メタファリカで安定したインフェル・ピラでは、Ｉ．Ｐ．Ｄ．達は完全に個別意識になる（＝第三世代と同じ）のかといえばノーよ。
そもそもモード・メタファリカを「大陸意識モード」と呼ぶのには、それ相応の理由があるわ。
健在意識下においては個別意識とほとんど変わりない。これはレプレキアも同じ。でも、その差は潜在意識下にあるのよ。大陸意識に移行したＩ．Ｐ．Ｄ．達は、常に無意識で繋がってい
て、その想いはメタファリカ大陸に影響を与えるわ。
それにプラスして、その大陸意識というのはＩ．Ｐ．Ｄ．達の「総意」とも言える１つの人格として存在していて、例えばメタファリカ大陸をどうしたいとか、導力の利用計画や制御に至
るまで、全てその「総意」によって行われる。
今回ココナがヒュメリによってコンタクトを取ったのは、その「大陸意識」という有る意味個人とも言えるＩ．Ｐ．Ｄ．達の事に当たるわね。Ｉ．Ｐ．Ｄ．達は意識せずともココナを意識
し、そして導力をカイラに供給するという判断を下したというわけ。
あと、第一塔のレーヴァテイル達が力不足というのは、ちょっと論点がズレ始めるわ。なぜなら、Ｉ．Ｐ．Ｄ．であっても、１個人として見た場合はヒュメリの要求導力には答えられない
。
ただ、大陸意識で運営されているインフェル・ピラと違い、アルトネリコ（第一塔）は、その大導力の制御権限が今何処にあるのかわからない状態なのよ。
現在大導力ネットワークと言えば、アルトネリコ＝ソル・マルタ間があるけど、それすら正直、シュレリアでさえもよくわかっていないのだから。	
Looks like the superior AIs have been talking about some advanced matters above. I can't afford to lose to them, so I have to answer this question.
Once Infel Phira has changed flawlessly into Mode Metafalica, several of its functions will be terminated, the most extreme of them being the Mode Shifts.
As the original goal for Infel Phira's creation was using it as the core of the land, the Mode Shifts would become unnecessary once it began fulfilling its purpose. In fact, it's my pet theory that the Mode Shifts were superfluous to begin with.
Additionally, I have to say that even once Infel Phira has stabilized into Mode Metalica, the IPDs WOULDN'T have a complete individual consciousness (like that of the Third Generations).
After all, there is an appropriate reason for why Mode Metafalica is called the [Land Consciousness Mode].
As long as they have healthy minds, their individual consciousnesses won't have any significant changes. In this point it's exactly the same as Replekia. However, it differs from it on the fact that Metafalica also considers the subconscious: the IPDs that have been transmigrated into the consciousness of the land will be always connected subconsciously, and their feelings can influence the Metafalica continent itself.
Besides, that consciousness of the land also exists as an additional persona called the [Consensus] of the IPDs, which decides for example what kind of status they want for the Metafalica continent, the plans of usage for the Symphonic Power and even the control of the continent. So this means that the IPDs acknowledged Cocona without realizing it, and granted her the transmission of Symphonic Power over to Kaira.
Finally, saying that this would be a tremendous flaw for the First Tower Reyvateils would be getting out of the topic. This is because the IPDs themselves can't comply with the Symphonic Power requests that Hymmeli had if we look at them as individuals.
However, and unlike Infel Phira, which is now administrated by the consciousness of the land, Ar tonelico (the First Tower) currently has its main Symphonic Power control systems in an unknown location and status.
Even in the current days of the Great Inter-Tower Symphonic Power Network, the space covered by Ar tonelico is also the space covered by Sol Marta, but honestly, Shurelia doesn't even know that.
	ふぅ…やっぱり低脳相手だといつも以上に導力消費が激しくなるわね。
激しくサスペンドしたい気分よ…。	
Hmph... just as I thought, dealing with lower intelligence life forms consumes my Symphonic Power more intensely than normal.
I'm having an strong urge to get into suspend mode now...
	でも今回も皆さん、とても素敵な質問を投げかけてくれましたね。
私はとっても楽しかったですよ？
今度はティリアにも一緒に参加してもらうというのはどうですか？	
But everyone still raised some wonderful questions for us this time.
It was very fun for me.
Next time, I'd like for us to answer questions together with Tyria.
	それだけは止めた方がいいと思うけど…。
まあ、もう貴方の好きなようにすれば？	
I think you should stop trying to do that, but...
Well, just do whatever you want.

I think you might have noticed it already, but we've finished making the Toukousphere Viewer. When we opened up the Toukousphere, we never imagined that it would become so popular, so we just used a normal topic selection system for its navigation (like the one you can see at the top of the page).
That won't be changing anytime soon, but I felt that we could use an exclusive system for making the Toukousphere easier to browse.
We thought that the Toukouviewer was something we should have made since a long time ago, so I'm very sorry we didn't manage to do it until now. As for other matters, I have been swamped with other tasks such as the Supporteils and the Gust Shop, but the DLC has been finally masterized, so the efforts for the coming times will be easier to handle. I'm very sorry for having gotten so slow with my work.
I hope this hasn't made you disgusted with me, and please, let's always continue enjoying Ar tonelico. (Tsuchiya)
