## Translation

### **TRACK 1 - History of ALICE 01**

**Mobius**: Virtual World ALICE. A virtual world used by people from all over the world. It can be accessed from PC, mobile, TV, etc. There is also support for a more immersive experience using dedicated equipment. In addition, all languages, even those used by ethnic minorities, are translated in an instant, making it possible to communicate with people all over the world. Today, real world corporations and local governments have branches and servers within ALICE. It is a network service that is indispensable to people's lives.

**Confidential File 01-01**: A few years before the the birth of ALICE, top elites from various fields who had been working individually started to work together on the "ALICE project". This amorphous organization would later be called "Academia".

**Confidential File 01-02**: There are various theories about the origins of the ALICE project, though it is unclear which due to ununified discourse within Academia. However, the "Liddell Algorithm", originally written by one of the oldest members of Academia, Turing, is often agreed upon as the basis for the ALICE project.

**Confidential File 01-03**: The ALICE project was intended to "change humanity's cultural consumption and enhance entertainment". The original purpose was to transplant all five human senses to virtual reality, taking entertainment at that point up to a new level. In other words, it was a system designed to allow the experience of the sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste, all within virtual reality.

**Confidential File 01-04**: ALICE is an acronym that stands for "All mankind's Live and Interactive Communication Entertainment". Academia made developments on ALICE at an astonishing speed, and gradually ALICE started to become known.

**Confidential File 01-05**: The main people who participated in the ALICE project that were known were Mobius, Hempel, Euclid, Alberti, Turing, etc. (Actually, it is said that more people were involved, but the details are not disclosed). They did not use their real names, and had only used their ALICE usernames ever since the beginning of the project.

**Mobius**: This was the beginning of the ALICE project.

### **TRACK 2 - Dawn of Academia**

**Da Vinci**: Is Hempel the only one who hasn't arrived yet?

**Mobius**: Yes. Was there any trouble?

**Newton**: I think he should be included.

**Alberti**: He's been working day and night recently, I hope he hasn't broken down. I'll contact him in a moment.

**Da Vinci**: You do that.

**Mobius**: Ok then, I can get drinks. Is everyone fine with coffee?

**Newton**: Mobius, you can't drink in this world yet.

**Mobius**: Oh, that's right. While it is possible to add a drink, it is meaningless without being able to feel it.

**Da Vinci**: Speaking of that, Mobius, isn't the act itself meaningful?

**Mobius**: There would be meaning; it's a change of feeling and simulation. When drinking coffee, you can be aware of the differences from reality, such as whether you can smell the aroma, the distance from it, and the timing of picking it up. As it currently is, I don't think there are any meaningless actions we can do in ALICE.

**Alberti**: I see... it might just be exactly what Mobius says. All of our actions in this world should be data for ALICE's development.

**Mobius**: That's right!

## Trivia

* While Track 1 reuses several lore blurbs that were released in the past, there is a distinct change in one of them - in Confidential File 01-05, Schrödinger was originally mentioned, but was replaced with Alberti here.
