AEHU/Plot/Plot Sketch Chapter 47

"Dare to Dream Again"

Robo & co. solve various dilemmas and emerge victorious over FATE, shutting it down by force.

Robo comes to the understanding that although his hardware and software may be inferior to that of AI FATE, he has acquired a priceless morality that FATE lacks. Belthasar notes the need for a sentient device capable of watching FATE for the next 13,000 years until Project Kid can be brought to fruition and Robo volunteers. Robo says his goodbyes and Belthasar proceeds to convert him into the Prometheus Circuit, wondering if he would have decided to take this measure anyway even had everything proceeded according to plan.

Derben, Demeria, and Raqh watch the sun rise on a new world (well, at least Derben and Demeria can see it). Derben and Demeria note that Schala's dream of Earthbound/Enlightened reconciliation did come to pass after all now that the two peoples must rely on one another for survival. Demeria and Derben realize that they have achieved their dream of finding one another across spacetime, and Raqh finally experiences the kind of happiness Beck once spoke of; Raqh stays behind on the North Cape and proclaims to the world that he has regained the ability to dream.
