Sci-hub is the piratebay of academic journal articles. Its service is mostly illegal because it collects paywalled articles and makes them publicly available online via an indexed search. This is copyright infringement. People love it. The coverage is incredible, many journals have over 98% of their articles covered.

Frustrated with a lack of access to scientific articles, Alexandra Elbakyan of Kazakhstan founded the Sci-hub repository as a 20-year-old graduate student. Her site subsequently provided more open access to scientific knowledge than anyone in the history of science. She was named a person of the year in 2016 by Nature; yes, that Nature of the mega-profit-publisher Springer Nature who promotes open access by charging a 10 grand APC.

Reminiscent of the RAA’s takedown of Napster in 2001, Elsevier took legal action against Sci-hub in 2015 starting in the U.S. and quickly moving to other countries. This international campaign has to do with copyright law being organized by country, making it very difficult to pursue Sci-hub which exists in a cyberspace of mirrors, and it provides something that is unquestionably in the public interest and a basic UN human right.

Although there are allegations of security breaches that could lead to identity theft or other hacking university servers, I am not aware of a single piece of evidence Sci-hub has done anything other than ‘steal’ academic publications. It is not a threat to sovereign nation states, it doesn’t encourage sociopathic behavior. It is a form of rebellion against the plague that for-profit publishing unleashed on science, and a way to promote open science. Of course Elsevier was not wrong in its legal claim of copyright infringement. Elsevier wants researchers to pay for their articles and its minions see Sci-hub as causing profit losses. But the evidence suggests this is nonsense. Elsevier is wasting its time, precious time that it could use to sponsor arms fairs, create journals and sell them to big pharma or try to patent online peer review and force journals to pay to use it.

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls-Season 2, Episode 12, Part 1 ("Richard In Stars Hollow")

You can read all of my previous commentary here. First 10 Minutes Summary : Emily needles Lorelai about her love life some more. A long comedic exchange occurs between Lorelai, Rory and Emily about the family burial plot. Emily and Richard discuss Richard's boring & repetitive retired life. Paris being Paris wants the staff of The Franklin to win a presitgious award given to school newspapers by any means necessary.

Richard is bored and realizes Emily actually had a pretty vibrant daily life while he used to be at work all day, and now with nothing to do he's getting in her hair and becoming a real pain in the ass M-A-N. Desperate to get him out of her hair, she ever so gently suggests he spend some time at the country club.

Wait wait wait. Stars Hollow video is really renting Grand Theft Auto? The violent-est video game to ever violent at that point? (all for the low price of 99 cents, Tuesdays and Thursdays only). Besides the graphic subject matter of the game, like cable TV and internet, I'm not entirely convinced that video games are even a concept in Stars Hollow. Go on, just ask someone on the streets of Stars Hollow if they know what a Playstation is. The citizens seem to be highly aware of modern music, but mainly watch TV shows and movies from the 1950's. I sound like an antrophologist observing some lost tribe that has no contact with the outside world.

You can easily read the titles on many of these movies. What are we renting today, guys? I hope you remembered to bring your Stars Hollow Video Membership Card (unlike Lorelai). This scene, man. Video stores! VHS! 99 cent rentals! Video store membership cards! Flip phones! Lorelai going outside because "the reception sucks in here". I'm positively dizzy. Just like the concession stand, the strip/mud wrestling club and the arcade (which are all places that are only seen once AFAIK) I am fairly certain this video store is never seen or mentioned again after this episode... So basically any kind of fun business that sets up in town is doomed to failure. Enjoy your diner and your movie theater that is actually just a projection screen inside a book store, citizens. In the United States, 1 in 5 small businesses fail in the first year.

Kirk Job: Dirty Movie Peddler. Rory: Hey Kirk, I saw a couple of little kids over there looking at this tape that was kind of mature. You might want to put that stuff on a higher shelf. There's a half naked lady on the cover.

(the movie was Showgirls, by the way). Meanwhile, Emily is desperate to get rid of Richard and punishes him in the most extreme way possible. She unloads him on Lorelai and sends him to Stars Hollow. That monster. Lorelai: OMG. The most horrible thing just happened. Headmaster Charleston's been kidnapped! Two guys broke into his house, stuffed him into a Hefty bag, used those twisty ties and carted him off! When I tell you this is the exact fate I've always envisioned for Taylor Doose on my gritty R-rated Gilmore Girls reboot titled The Hollow. No really, go back to some of my old reviews and I have said this. Usually the sack gets tossed off the Bridge into the lake, a worthy fate for Mr. Doose. Some fun things I observed in the Gilmore Kitchen:

Rory's coffee cup is a pig in a bowtie and boxer shorts. . A killer Crock Pot. (my sincerest apologies to Milo Ventimiglia for not saying "SLOW COOKER", he's going to pop out of the bushes somewhere and correct me). That lady that was on every greeting card in the 90's (I think her name was Maxine). And those Pop Tarts, oh those Pop Tarts. Did I research them? Yes I absolutely fucking did. Turns out they aren't actually from the Pop Tarts brand. Lorelai was buying a cheap imitation. They were called "Kool Stuf", a short lived knockoff from Nabisco that were sold from 1999-2001.

To be honest I'm not sure why Lorelai is having an aboslute freaking meltdown about spending one day alone with Richard, her own father. I think she thinks it's going to be more awkward than anything and they won't have enough to talk about.

Okay, I was right. But seriously, having to make conversation with her own father is the only time Lorelai ever shuts up and can't think of anything to say? Really?

I was observing how gleeful Richard looked while walking into the diner and figured it was one of those "rich people are entertained by the lower class and he's never been in a diner before" type deals, but he then mentions a diner he used to visit in college. So I think it's pretty wholesome and sweet that he looks so happy to visit a place simply because Lorelai likes it. I like Richard. (usually), although he's a total pill in this episode and his mansplaining kinda makes me want to stuff him in that sack with Taylor Doose.

Lorelai: I thought you might like to walk around town and see The Sights. Well, you already visited the diner, so that's one Sight. Seeing the rest of the town will kill all of about 10 minutes. Good plan, Lorelai.

I hope she never stops.

Okay but that's just my exact pitch for my gritty R-rated Giilmore Girls reboot titled The Hollow.

I am firmly convinced they do. Paris: The worst that could happen is that I spend some time in your town and enter a pie in your county fair. Oh yes, I'm sure Rory would just HATE it if Paris had to spend time in her town with her. Paris I'm sure you'd love to enter your pie in her county fair, wouldn't you. This episode has everything. Paris and Rory sexual tension, Jess and Paris meeting for the first of only two times, Richard getting pissed off at Dean later. Richard walks in to the inn while Lorelai is working. L: I thought you were touring the town. What are you doing here? R: I visited all the stores. The cat one, twice. Then I walked around and I was done. Told ya. L: Did you see the park? Or the giant slinky? R: Yes I saw the park and the giant slinky, and the 100 year old oak tree, and the giant life sized Yarn Person. Giant Slinky? Giant Yarn Person? Where's the town getting money for this stuff? Paris' first order of business should be to investigate Taylor Doose and whether he's stealing the money he's always raising for The Bridge (he is). I also don't remember any sort of real park being seen or mentioned before. Paris (after taking the bus home with Rory): I think I have rabies. Burn my clothes. Emily in another episode: Only drug dealers ride the bus.

City Boy frowns upon all this bus slander.

Wasn't there suddenly a bar in season 7 or was that just some fever dream? Season 7 in general is just a fever dream to me. Lorelai gets drunk and sings "I Will Always Love You" to Luke, right? How did THAT place ever get the proper permits and permission to exist from Taylor Doose? I know it's like 5 years away but, investigate that, Paris. We were robbed of so many things incuding a Jess + Paris friendship. Oh, the literary & other intellectual debates we could have enjoyed! (on the flip side, a Paris + Jess romantic relationship would be so disastrous. Luckily for them it would also only last like forty minutes before they tried to kill each other and end it). Anyway I like to imagine all angles of every nook & cranny of this show and I enjoy imagining that carnage.

Crystal clear Tomatos sign spotting. Paris ever so subtly proceeds to ask Luke if his diner sees a lot of truckers looking to pick up prostitutes.

"It's pretty common knowledge that diners are breeding grounds for prostitution and drug dealers." Like the drug dealing gigolo who lives above the diner? Speak of the devil.

*clutches this minute-long interaction tightly to my chest* I won't ever let go...

Well, it is where he likes to stuff girls in a closet.

Hair...that beautiful hair...

So brief. Sigh. Luke and Jess are the best. Back to the Inn where Richard continues to be a pain in the ass Man and meddle in Lorelai's work, telling her how to run her business and pushing Lorelai perilously close to sack-stuffing territory. And in other meddling news, Rory's little snitcheroo about inappopriate movies has backfired on her. Rory and Paris enter the video store to find it nearly empty, as all of the inappropriate movies have been moved behind the Rory Curtain.

In Rory's defense, she did specifically tell Kirk to put the videos "on a higher shelf" and she probably expected Kirk to take her literally like he does every single time in history except for now. But she still should have minded her bizzness. Taylor: All the movies that we (him and Kirk?) deem objectionable will be hidden behind this curtain safely hidden from the eyes of children. Why is Taylor involved in this too? He doesn't work there? Can we skip to the sack-stuffing now? This would all be funnier if this sort of "shield the children" censorship wasn't still happening over 20 years later. Paris realizes The Rory Curtain is a great scoop for the paper, asks Taylor "How long have you been working here?" Good question... Lorelai brings Richard home, minutes away from tossing him into oncoming traffic so Rory tries to give her mother some peace and quiet and offers Richard a tour of her room where we get acquainted with her book stash.

Dang, girl! I'm kind of speechless...

Richard, for as much of a Buttinsky as he has been so far in this episode, gives Lorelai extremely sensible, real-world advice that it would benefit Rory to consider another school besides Harvard. Every time Lorelai hears this perfectly reasonable advice from her parents she loses her mind. Harvard's acceptance rate in 2003 was 11.3%. Thanks again, Googs. Lorelai thinks she can wave her "But she wants to go to Harvard" wand around and that'll magically get her accepted with no backup school or plan in place. I'll save further discussion of "Lorelai jeopardizing Rory's future just to spite her parents" for another episode that's coming up somewhere over the horizon, and because it literally just happened in the previous episode (in that case their fucking house was on the line due to Lorelai's stubborness), god I'm fucking tired.

What is it Rory?! Is it Ed McMahon standing outside with a giant Publisher's Clearinghouse check?

Oh. it's just Butthead. Part 2 coming soon.

1, 2, and 15

i love these dumb “challenges” so much thank u 💖💖

1 - first fob song i heard was grand theft autumn in a hot topic in around summer 2013 lmao then i went home and looked up and did the whole “oh they do THAT song” lmao

2 - i have the word w.am.s. tattooed on my leg actually! its a stick and poke i did when i was 17 and somehow it’s still very clear almost ten years later. i have a lot of joke answers like putting www.falloutboyrock.com on my arm or “it was the summer of 2001” in my ass i dunno i don’t really do word only tattoos except the one 😅

i want the folie bears on my arm though and probably the logos in like a doodle style around the bears

15 - my underrated song to bitch about currently is american beauty american psycho. that song is so FUN and it goes so hard honestly i wish it was on the set list for tourdust because screaming that bridge is so cathartic in the same way “wave the white flag” is in the phoenix. and the LYRICS!!!

“i’m the best worst thing that hasn’t happened to you yet” is such an incredible line and so overlooked because to me it relates to “best kept secret but your biggest mistake” in nobody outs baby AND also “part soulmate full time problem” in hmlag

“i wished i dreamt in the shape of your mouth, but it’s your thread count i really care about” COME ON

people don’t like it because it was on the radio and has a lot of cymbals i think it’s a great title track thanks for coming to my abap title track defense ted talk 💖

#ask #this got long i had to listen to the song

99 is done done DONE. i just need to work on the automating features for the second half so i can be free. it's like two hours long. and decide whether any of the gunshot songs are staying in. 00 has everything it's going to have, i think, but it has mysteries. i will doing a bunch of remixing in it. i want to be able to make white pony fit. it has most of my favorite songs and the best high points--such as for example slightly fast clinic - distortions. it's bounded but it needs work. and one more really clear bombing statement. 01 feels still like i missed a bunch of things, i need to sit down with something--m83, metro area, green velvet, mouse on mars, what is it--and figure it out. doing 01 earlier in the day so no one will be hyped enough for all this disco anyway -- weird mistake on my part. should have done love and theft hm! focused on the bottom two. 2001: delirium time (hyper - media - crity) 2000: the earthquake is making the house shake the house shake 1999: fall(s) apart (nothing going on but history) (welcome to weapon world) (give me action and drama) (we like the boys with the bullet proof vests) (more crackers please)

The East Sun Building – Karen Taylor

▲ Sun Myung Moon and Kamiyama with a fishing boat in production

_________________________________

March 19, 2001

The East Sun Building was my prison for nearly two years. Not only did I work there in building the Good Go sports fishing boats, but I also lived there, as did all the Master Marine members. I believe that it was considered cheap and convenient to keep us in that huge, cold and dark hulk of a place. Eventually we were moved to the New Yorker Hotel due to Fire Department inspections. Of course, it was completely illegal and hazardous for us to live in the building, but like the Blues Brothers, we were on a mission for God!

The East Sun Building was located directly across from a large housing project. It was a very dangerous area with the predominant occupants being black and Hispanic Americans. To venture out at night was to tempt fate, but I have walked to the East Sun Building from the Long Island City subway station quite often during daylight hours without incident.

I felt like a prisoner in the place and I refer to my time there as “repaying my debt to society” or “my Danbury sentence”. We were never taken anywhere for Sunday outings while living in the place and the brothers had awful living conditions. Their living quarters were an enormous windowless dark room on the 2nd floor with a bed platform built of plywood that ran the entire length of the room. It had been promised by Mr. Kamiyama that the platform would be carpeted, but that never occurred.

The handful of sisters that were sent to work in the place had much better living conditions, but we all felt trapped and there was a heavy atmosphere of unhappiness in the building. Many members who were considered problematic were sent there from different church departments, particularly CARP. The East Sun Building effectively became a dumping ground.

One CARP member was sent to work in Master Marine who had been discovered during an aggressive witnessing campaign. Bobby was a 16 year old runaway. This boy eventually broke into the Master Marine office one night, stole about $12,000, and vanished into New York City. He knew that he would not be pursued since he left a note clearly indicating that he would contact the Dept. of Immigration and reveal how many illegal immigrants were working for Master Marine if we pressed charges. Smart kid.

I loved Mr. Kamiyama’s (TK) explanation to Master Marine members that this was indemnity to prevent a serious injury to one of the boat builders. The truth is, TK had already been instructed by Rev. Moon that the boy should go home, but nobody took action, even after I spoke to the production supervisor about Bobby’s bad behavior. This theft was preventable. I would call this “indumbnity”!

We were visited by Rev. Moon fairly regularly and I have had a unique experience or two with him while working there.

Foals: Life is Yours — vibrant-sounding but thinner in scope

A review by Ludovic Hunter-Tilney for Financial Times [link] The British indie rock band turn their attention to rebirth with their seventh album

Foals’ origins lie in British indie rock from the late 2000s, a time when bands such as themselves, alt-J and Everything Everything emerged with a twisty musical sensibility that seemed to be formed as much by hyperlinks as conventional verse-chorus-verse structures. This was an era when jumping between websites went by the benign name of internet-surfing, not today’s pathologies of screen addiction and attention theft. Busy, clever indie music that traversed genres and time signatures took place against the backdrop of an online world of endless choice. The approach carried the risk of over-elaboration. But Foals kept a tight hold over their various influences, from Afrobeat and Steve Reich to post-punk and dance music. Their debut album, 2008’s Antidotes, had a driven rhythmic energy, fuel for their determination to find a way through the maze. The combination of muscularity and different angles was epitomised by the title of one of their earliest songs, “Mathletics”. Antidotes established them as indie-rock big-hitters, a status they have maintained over subsequent releases. In 2020, they won a Brit award for best group, which followed the release of their first UK number one album, Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost — Part 2. It was the second instalment of a double-hander that addressed big topics of climate ruin and social breakdown. Now they turn their attention to rebirth with their seventh album, Life Is Yours. Its theme of new beginnings is partly a product of necessity. The Oxford-formed band are now a trio following the separate departures of two members since 2018. But there is also a concept at play here, a zeitgeisty intuition that the world is ready to let its hair down and roar back to life following the cloistered days of the pandemic. “This has the potential to be an iconic year, and I’d love this record to be the soundtrack to that,” frontman Yannis Philippakis told NME in January.

Unfortunately, 2022 hasn’t played nice with his hopes. The location for the video of “2am”, the single of Life Is Yours, illustrates the bleak direction present times have taken: it was filmed in Kyiv a month before Russia’s invasion. The upbeat energy of their new songs arrives in a world that has reawakened from Covid into a nightmare of war, economic turbulence, an ongoing pandemic and accelerating environmental degradation. Foals, alas, have backed the wrong horse.

Does Life Is Yours work as escapism instead? Its 11 tracks display a customarily high quality of musicianship, from Jack Bevan’s vibrant percussion and drumming to the gracefully darting guitar parts played by Philippakis and co-guitarist Jimmy Smith. The jittery punk-funk moves of their earlier work have been smoothed into a more fluid funk-rock. “2001” has a buttery disco groove, while “Wake Me Up” is a euphoric indie-dance anthem about seizing the day during which Philippakis chants about “dancing on the screens” and “deleting all the codes”.

If technology formerly underpinned their fast-moving musical imaginations, now it is portrayed as an enemy. But the thought isn’t really developed, so far as one can tell from vocals that are often hard to make out amid the layers of instrumentation and relentless rhythmic action. Vibrant-sounding but thinner in scope than their earlier work, the songs make for a solid accompaniment to better times that have so far failed to materialise.

★★★☆☆

Death Vengeance ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Chapter 3 Pt. 8 (2/2)

"Kuro-san...Kuro-san!"

"What is it, Tsubaki?"

"Can you get what I am about to announce something?"

"I don't know, but sure! I'd like to hear it..."

"I decided to announce that, I'd like to make a proposal!"

"What did you propose for?"

"I propose you that I wanted to make my groom and I will be the bride!"

"So then, it's a promise?"

"It's a promise and I made it for you!"

Tsubaki Nakatsukasa : So, what if there wasn't any romance between me and anyone. I made a promise that I have a heart for someone that I even loved before I met another. So what if I was someone's bride and someone that is my groom. I may have courage that I wanted to become stronger and there's no way that I am gonna take it granted. So with that, I kept promise to the one I love before. Kuro-san. So now...[picks up Akujiki] To protect the ones that I really loved and keeping my promise...[pulls out the sword] I chose to kill another! [her eye turns red] Akujiki...Must feed off the true evil!

"Meanwhile back in 2003..."

Roxas : Ha! Those Nobodies were tougher than I thought. Traveling to the year 2003 was a such pain to get into this Time Travel stuff.

Bandit : Gutsy move, back there.

Roxas : So, you on your way to see Anubis?

Bandit : That's what where headed to. Pyramid Anubis. A tomb from the Soul World Manga, I believe that it was built right next the Pyramids.

Roxas : Pyramid Anubis from Soul World? That Pyramid from the Soul World manga?

Moirai Albarn : Yep, it's from Soul World.

Roxas : Well, umm, no dice, but I think Pyramid Anubis from Soul World was definitely sounds like a tourist trap, and on the other hand, it got destroyed by a mysterious "Golem" giant.

Bandit : So are you telling me that we came all the way to Egypt for a tomb from a Japanese manga that was demolished for some reasons? A giant "Golem" destroyed Pyramid Anubis? What does that have to do with Anubis from Soul World being destroyed as a heartless by a freaking Golem?

Roxas : Not just any Golem, "The" Golem. It's a giant that resides in one of them Pyramids,there are in which type of Pyramids, they got the Gizas, the Sphinx, the Sandopolis, Hidden Base level, and uhh--[record scratch] The Hidden Base Level? Egypt had no Hidden Base Level? Wasn't Egypt part of the Sonic Adventure 2 Story line?

Moirai Albarn : Might be!

[Strategy - Tomoya Ohtani]

Maka Albarn : So, Pyramid Anubis was destroyed by the Golem inside of that Pyramid called the Hidden Base Level? I thought it would be Sand Ocean or Sandopolis.

Moirai Albarn : Hey, Sand Ocean is the name of that Planet desert racetrack from F-Zero and Sandopolis is the name of that level from a floating island that somewhere weird that it's connected to Desert Palace Zone. So what you're saying that nobody goes into the old base that Eggman resides, because it is a fair warning into that old base of his. We believe that the Hidden Base level is...Haunted by Ghosts.

Maka Albarn : And I heard that it contains a Rocket from Nasa that Eggman stole it from Florida.

Bandit : So that mustache moron just stole a rocket ship from Nasa. Probably that mad scientist knows how to play Grand Theft Auto...Sonic Style. But one thing's for sure about the Hidden Base...[whispers into Roxas' ear]

Roxas : What?! Why didn't anyone tell me that the Hidden Base Pyramid was on a Floating Island the entire time and nobody mentioned it?! That's always a comeback that really pushing up the story. Why would one scientist that has a base that is located on a Floating Island?!

"Flashback to 2001..."

Dr. Eggman : Those idiots will never find my base hidden inside this pyramid. Which is located on the same island that I crashed into.

"Back to the present"

Roxas : Oh yeah, that explains the Space Colony Ark Incident two years ago. Pretty much to figure this one out. Inside the Pyramid can be dangerous to visit, so sure if it's not illegal.

Bandit : I Just have to borrow Tornado 3 from Tails. But someone will do the Hidden Base Zone thing.

Moirai Albarn : Time for me to find the Entrance.

[Down the Base...for Hidden Base - Jun Senoue]

Penny Crygor [via radio] : Hey, Ash. How things holding up in Egypt?

Ashley : Not much as it's hot out here in the sun. This place totally make me sweat. This must be the Homeland of Anubis. I heard that the tomb Pyramid Anubis was destroyed by the hands of that Golem. Which resides in the Hidden base Pyramid.

Penny Crygor [via] : Right, right! So that's what really happened to Pyramid Anubis, oh well. It was an ugly tomb designed by the author of Soul World anyway. Now about that, the Necromancer Witch Samantha should be here somewhere and it's gotta be inside the Pyramid, not the one that got demolished pretty bad by the Golem, ain't it?

Ashley : Oh yes. She's only inside that one pyramid that has to be Hidden Base. Hmm, but that place seems familiar, wasn't that the same pyramid that was on Angel Island about years ago? I guess it's the same location as the Sandopolis one?

Penny Crygor [via radio] : What? Are you talking about that Sandopolis Pyramid thing? Of course it has to be the first haunted themed level since Genocide City was supposed to be the first haunted themed level before Sandopolis does. It was occupied by the Echidnas before Eggman took over it and turned into his Hidden base. So much details that the animals inside of his capsule contain one supernatural feeling. The animals from Sonic have turned into horned ghosts called Hyudoros. Yep. Some say that Pyramids can be haunted nowadays, I wonder why they put a number of Ghosts reside in a pyramid?

Ashley : That's Sega's Idea, ask them. They know how they put Ghosts in Pyramids. That's their call.

Penny Crygor [via radio] : Okay, we'll get that out of their system, but right now, we need more focus on getting to that into that Pyramid! It's crawling with security and G.U.N robots.

Ashley : Copy that, I'm in pursuit. This is a detective's job to handle the case, and It's our responsibility to take action!

[a montage of Ashley and the group chat around the Hidden Base level until they meet at the Goal Ring near the entrance]

Ashley : Alriyghtght this must be it. I'm finally at the entrance to ythe pyramid, but despite the Goal Ring that is sitting in the middle of a helipad. This must be the right spot.

Penny Crygor [via radio] : Good. Samantha might be inside the pyramid. So let's crack the entrance wide open!

Maka Albarn : Excuse me, but are you really...

Ashley : Who goes there!? This is Majo Detective Business! State your names!

Roxas : Hold up! We're the Good Guys! I-I'm...I'm Roxas! This is Maka Albarn, her sister Moirai, and the masked guy over here is Bandit! We mean no harm and we're about to find out what really happened to Pyramid Anubis, the tomb that was destroyed by a Giant Golem. We're investigating some ransom attacks that occured happening in Egypt! Those Nobodies came out of nowhere and finding out they've been disguising their selves as humans. turns out that Evil people are actually called heartlesses! So...you are that detective named Ashley, correct?

Ashley : Ehh, correct. We found Pyramid Anubis from the Soul World Manga that was supposed guarded by the heartlesses, but eventually it was destroyed by a living sand giant called "The Golem" We don't know what really happened if the perpetrator Samantha the Necromancer witch is alive, we have confirmed that Samantha hidden herself inside the pyramid! Maybe she's dealing with another undead person, or a Heartless that she's controlling.

Roxas : Sounds pretty unsafe to me cause this pyramid here is basically...Haunted for real. No one is able to go inside the Pyramid. So, it is unsafe for us to handle with the spirits.

Ashley : Lucky for me that I have been prepared. The entire Hidden Base is affiliated with a thing of dark presence...we call it "Darkness".

Roxas : Darkness! Well count me in! Let's crack that door wide open! Cause it's going to be a fun ride!

Ashley : Sounds good to me! Let's go! Follow my lead!

~ Fortieth Scene : Tomb of Darkness ~
