Cane Office — Episode 1 Epilogue (Stage: 50005)Location: Inside the LibraryAngela(Library Director)I suppose “patent wars” are fiercely fought, judging from the way he talked about it.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_17"Roland(Servant)Yeah. All in all, technology is the most reliable means of making money in this City.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_8"Roland(Servant)Patent wars are waged over those technologies, but in truth, neither side really benefits from them. It ends in a Pyrrhic victory at best.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_9"Roland(Servant)If they don’t respond well, they might lose their rights to the technology by an imitation, or spend too much time and energy for the win to have been worthwhile… At the end of the day, people like the guests we just greeted profit the most from those conflicts.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_10"Roland(Servant)Well, it’s entertaining to spectate as long as the trouble isn’t yours. I’ve got a bunch of interesting stories, wanna hear them?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_11"Angela(Library Director)Save the whole thing for a later time. It sounds like it’ll be a long tale.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_18-01"Angela(Library Director)…Has R Corp. participated in a patent war?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_19"Roland(Servant)Dunno. I don’t think I heard any stories about that, at least. R Corp. is already exceptional among private military contractors.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_12"Angela(Library Director)How about the Singularity of another Wing? Has R Corp. tried to get a hold of any?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_20"Roland(Servant)I bet every Wing thinks the same way about that matter. Few Wings use their Singularity on its own.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_13"Roland(Servant)R Corp. must be using a Singularity or two that doesn’t belong to them, you know what I mean? And they gotta pay the owners a fee whenever they use them.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_14"Angela(Library Director)If they uncovered the secrets of those Singularities owned by other Wings, they could save that expense, correct?Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Angela_21"Roland(Servant)Spot on.Audio: "ch6_Cane_ep1_Roland_15-01"
