Jr. and co investigate a suspeicous landmass that Ormus is interested in after finding out about it from the information Shion recovered.

Summary:

• Juli and Helmer are talking about some Zohar Project. They say something about the Merkabah is almost ready. Like the Proto Merkabah, it was once a relic of old that Dimitri turned into a weapon after somehow receiving the Y Data information after Albedo did.
• Canaan come sin and talks with Juli. He tells her about information they acquired, and shows her the picture of something saying it is a mass under the U.M.N, apparently being a landmass from Lost Jerusalem.
• We see Jr. talking with Nigredo. They talk about how Juli asked them to investigate the land mass Renees-le-chateau that Canaan earlier spoke of. Jr. is warned that a lot of Gnosis have appeared inn that area and it may be under heavy guard by Ormus as they may know what it is.
• We see Margulis and Pellegri on some wasteland of a planet. Margulis talks about how this is their homeland, and because Lord Heinlein said so this land will rise again. Already Renees-le-chateau has reappeared. Margulis is informed of a ship (Jr.) approaching it and Margulis tells them how they will head there now too.
• The Elsa and everyone arrive at the landmass in question, Jr., Chaos, Ziggy, MOMO, and Jin all there in their E.S.s They say how the readings of this is really weird, it is about eh size of an asteroid but has the gravitational force of a normal planet. They get closer and see how the top is perfectly flat, looking like the chunk of a planet.
• Just then Ormus people arrive and Jr. and co. fight them off. Eventually Margulis arrives. Him and Jin fight, and kind of duel given their history and rivalry. Eventually all three attack Margulis and eventually defeat him.
• All of a sudden the landmass starts to glow and MOMO says how the data is rising exponentially. Margulis seems surprised as well. They all try and escape but Margulis tires to stop Jin. The else swoops in, saving Jin but Margulis attacks it, casing the Else to be damaged. The Elsa is pulled into the landmass, as it is now completely surrounded by a glowing energy. Margulis seems insulted that they are going to land on the holy land. He is about to chase after them when he gets a call from someone telling him to let them be. He argues their saint is there but eh says they have already retrieved her. Margulis escapes, leaving the three E.S.s there not knowing what to do, with the Elsa having disappeared into the energy.

Impressions:

It seems that this Saint that Margulis talked of with the guy will become very important. In the beginning of the game we saw the Testaments all gathered around some stone tomb looking in saying something about here she is. My guess is that it is the Saint they are talking about, although what exactly it is has yet to be shown.

It will be interesting to find out what exactly Renees-les-Chateau is. It was interesting to find out that it looked like it was deliberately cut from the planet that we know was Lost Jerusalem. They also talked about how it was a relic of Lost Jerusalem and that are likely to be other relics.

It seems as though everyone has stuck together for the most part, not going their separate ways. Asides from Shion and KOS MOS the other members are still together which is a bit odd, I would think they wouldn’t always be with each other in a time of non dire crisis. I mean, I understand them stilling having contact with each other, but it isn’t’ that big of a deal.
