* SCRL: DOKAN *
===================
'A scroll about the area in Mt.Hiei that was set afire.'
September, 1571 (Genki, Year 2)
In the early morning, Nobunaga's troops
descended from Mt.Hachioji.
The army brandished flame, and the land quickly
turned into an infernal hell.
Many, whether they may be monk or commoner,
man or woman, lost their heads.
Torsos were tossed off cliffs; heads thrown into
bonfires like firewood.
I fled to the mountains, and when I made my cautious
return, I found hell on earth.
The stench of burning flesh stung the air.
Those who were living just moments ago were
pitiable black heaps.
I hid in a tiny cave; I held my ears shut -- but the cries
of the dead penetrated.
Perhaps this is punishment for my selfish flight.
So i gathered up the bones.I spoke mantras.
But this did not clear me of my crime.
It may take many years, but I will carve
a giant stone statue, and erect it in memory of
my beloved brothers and sisters.

* MEMO TO CHIEF *
=====================
'A worker's memo about broken sewer equipment.'
To Chief Cloquet:
The cleaning ball which has been broken for some
time now; how much longer before we can receive
funding to repair it?
We'll be up to our necks in garbage if we don't.
If the sewage overflows, we'll have to pay for it.
But you probaly already know this.
At least I hope you do.
Unless you want to see the cleaning ball fall
when the chain eventually breaks, go tell those
bigwigs to hurry up and allocate funding.
Don't forget that your neck will be on the line
if that happens.
And no, this isn't just an idle threat.

'Gossip about Jubei Yagyu.'
1573 (First year of Tensho)
Jubei Yagyu has hidden himself after his attack on
Lord Nobunaga.
Hideyoshi Hashiba has sent ninja after his head,
but he has yet to be found.
Rumor says that he was spotted on horseback
near the Odani mountains, and riding a ship to the West,
but the truth of these claims is unclear.
Some even claim that he was seen with Oichi,
but this is surely a lie.
Due to an illness, Oichi has rarely made a public
appearance for several years, and this has resulted in
all manner of rumors.

* HIDEYOSHI RMR *
=====================
'Gossip about Hideyoshi Hashiba.'
Tokichiro Kinoshita, later named Hashiba Hideyoshi,
is Lord Nobunaga's confidante.
I remember him well; he has served Lord Nobunaga
with loyalty sinc changing his name to Hashiba.
While Lord Nobunaga was away,
he led the army effectively,
and contributed to its growth in power.
Nobunaga's trust in him increased tenfold.
After Lord Nobunaga's return, Hashiba was ordered to
suppress the western lands. To this end, he led an army of
thirty-thousand men on an the expedition, and continues
the fight in that far away land.

* TIME LAB 1 *
==================
'A research report on the Time Folder. Part 1.'
I have finally made some initial findings about
the Oni ruins.
After deciphering the great volume of records found
in the ruins, I have determined that the secret of
the Oni has to do with time itself.
I have even discovered their secret device, but it is
unclear to us genma how to operate it.
I am determined to devote myself completely to
unlocking its secrets.
But it will take some time before I can make
a report to the Genma Lord.
I am disturbed by the stupidity of the genma on the
western ship.
The fools attack townspeople indiscriminately.
Not that I care about the humans' suffering,
but I can't have any workers getting killed.
Perhaps I will have to recruit some genma with
more intelligence.

I love this boat.
The genma touring boat at the bottom of the lake
was dark, rank, and befouled.
But this boat is different.
We're heading for a human port. So the boat's
outward appearance is that of a human vessel.
The creaking of this boat sounds like the grinding of
human bone.
Kree, kree, kree!
Once we arrive, it'll be a feast for all.
Human flesh, all-you-can-eat!
I love being captain!

'On the deadly batttle of Samanosuke and Gargant.'
The wielder of magic power, Hidemitsu Samanosuke Akechi.
He appeared at Mt. Inaba, and killed the Genma Lord of
Time Fortinbras with his blade.
Since then he has been close to the trail of the new Genma
Lord, Nobunaga Oda, and us, his vassals.
Many a genma have fallen by his blade.
The strongest genma warrior of us all, Gargant, put up a
ferocious fight, but Samanosuke's blade took his life as well.
And now he is in this land again. We live in fear of his
accursed blade.
Is there none of use who can stop this
Hidemitsu Samanosuke Akechi?

* TIME LAB 3 *
==================
'A research report on the Time Folder. Part 3.'
Memo
Unbelieveable.
During an examination of the device,
I was accidentlly sent to another age.
I have experienced travel across a fold of time firsthand.
Which is interesting, but frankly, I am feeling quite silly
about the blunder.
The vermin that writhe on the surface know nothing of
what has happened.
Those pests are a nuisance in any time period.
I will search for a way to return to the Oni ruins
as soon as I build a new base of operations.
And I think I have already found the perfrect location.
The humans refer to it as the Notre Dame.
It has a ready supply of human remains in the
underground graveyard nearby.
I will order the genma who crossed the fold in time
along with me to build a castle underground.
My very own castle, where I can continue
my research in peace.
So much remains unknown about the folds of time.
I shall persevere.

* TIME LAB 2 *
==================
'A research report on the Time Folder. Part 2.'
Research on the "time folds" has run up against a wall.
I have managed to get the Oni device found in the
ruins up and running, but it is terribly unstable.
Even if I am lucky enough to generate a time fold,
it invariably disappears after a shortly after.
After a number of failures, I have realized something.
Recently, a number of mysterious objects have been
spotted about.
They were not made by man, nor genma.
My theory is that these odd finds were transported
from the future as a result of the time folds created
during my recent experimentation.
Which means that the Time Folder is certain to
result in access to an entirely new world.
I am fast applying genma science to the Oni device.
The next experiment is sure to succeed.
Soon we genma will rule time just as we rule
everything else.

We Oni have created a great new device called the

If its power is properly harnessed, we can cross
holy Mt. Fuji and fly to the far reaches of the skies.
We have created a great battleship using this
technology, called the Oni Tortoise,
the body of which is on Oni Isle.
We must be prepered for a sudden genma
attack on this island.
But the Flying Machine core is in this Undersea Temple.
We need not fear the genma as long as
we can hold the Temple.

I have found a place that will serve as a

Those insolent humans.
The nerve of them capturing creatures that are only
slightly more primitive than themselves.

You have a new family!
Be slave to those filthy humans no more!
What a delightful idea.

=====================
'Report on experiments with living subjects (2).'
I have begun by fusing genma blood with the
king of the jungle, the "lion."
But the results were unfavorable to say the least.
The subject does nothing but sleep all day.
Perhaps the "lion" was not a good choice after all.
Indded, the lion died in three days from a weak heart.
It is likely that it rejected the genma blood.
Quite a shame, since I was hoping to create a beast
more ferocious than Gertrude.
Next I brought in various monekys, and transplanted
the great hearts of colossal, long-nosed "elephants"
into each one of them.
This created a new type of money, to which I added
genma blood.
Then i started seeing some results!
The giant "elephant" heart was compatible with
genma blood. This new breed of monkey are
tougher than anything i've ever seen.
They are far from perfect, but are a significant
achievement.
I have named my new monkey children "Zmoh."

But I feel no sadness. There is only my burning anger
toward the insolent Samanosuke Akechi, who dares to
defy the Great One's plan.
I embarrassed myself at the Oni ruins, because my mutation
was imperfect. But that shall not happen again.
For now I have taken full control on the genma blood,
and this has given me infinite strength.
The next time we meet, I shall have his head as a present
for the lord, and the rest I will cut to pieces as feed for the
genma. I'm excited just thinking about it.

An unforseen accident has bought about
a change of time, but luckily the undersea temple
still exists in this age.
Except for the room that housed the device,
which has been flooded, it is nearly the same as
when i was doing research before.
In fact, most of the tools and documents remain intact.
I took what i needed, and relocated the Time Folder
laboratory at Mont-Saint-Michel.
The goal now is to make the Time Folder as stable
and precise as possible.
This will allow us to transport things when,
and where, we like ...
Things even the Oni were unable to achieve.
It presents a challenge,
but challenges are what I live for.

Somebody! Anybody!
Help me!
I don't know how much time has passed.
Has it been days, or weeks, that I have not seen a
glimpse of sunlight?
That skeleton who wears the black cape;
he is the source of all this evil.
Ever since he exposed us to that strange light,
we became suddenly docile, as if we'd been hypnotized.
Except for me ...for some reason I was unaffected.
Now I live a life on the run from those monsters.
I'm beginning to wish I'd been hypnotized along with
the rest of them.
They'll find me eventually, no matter where I hide.
If they find me, I'll be eaten for sure!
I won't let it happen!
I'll run ...I'll escape from here!
That is, if I don't die of starvation first.

My heart feels as if it would collapse from the weight!
A flame seems to tower within it.
This is no mere romance! Love...this is true love,

The fire in my heart!
Come to me, before I am consumed by purgatory flames!
Take me in your strong embrace.
Oh, my Lord Nobunaga, where are you?
Pray tell!
It is not the bosom of some wretch!
Impossible!
Ahh!

==================
'A research report on the Time Folder. Part 5.'
I have found that to create a fold in time, one must
first provide a large, stable source of energy.
We fixed the device to the roof, so that it could
absorb the limitless energy from the sky.
Once again genma science made the impossible
possible.
I also found that dramatic fluctuations in the energy
source create very different expermiental results.
I have ordered them to never allow the power to
fall below 80%
We must beware of Samanosuke Akechi.
Energy collection of this device is a key to
my research.
I must make absolutley sure that he doesn't
meddle with things.

* FORTRESS 1 *
==================
'Research record on genma flying devices.'
When we first began the flying fortress,
we genma scientists expected to be able to come up
with the technology needed to provide sufficient power.
But in this regard we were wrong.
After much fruitless effort, we made a change of plans.
If we could not devise the technology ourselves,
we only had to steal it from somebody who had.
Nothing wrong with a little imitation in the interest of
the advancement of genma science!
Ten years ago, we set our sights on the magic power.
Their technology would surely provide us with the
means to provide the flying fortress with the
necessary speed. So we searched Oni Isle.
To our disappointment, we found no information on
flying vessels. But what we did find,
was information on an Oni temple under the sea.
We descended to the temple, and stole everything
that had anything to do with flight.
We used the undersea train to transport any materials
we thought might be useful.
As a result, our flying fortress operates above
expectations.
Now the genma can rule the skies;
a giant step toward ruling the world.

* FORTRESS 2 *
==================
'On the giant genma that supports Azuchi Castle.'
"Hyoombade"
The giant genma that is the core of Azuchi Castle.
The "Verser," with its strong wings,
becomes this when it is ten-thousand years old.
Only a few of these creatures have ever lived.
Their power of flight is like never seen before;
in some cases, they are known to have moved mountains.
These gentle creatures avoid battle, and are used to
transport cargo and flightless genma.
In times of peace, they rest their wings deep within caves.
But when they awake, they take meals of
several thousand humans apiece.
When they near death, they drop a billion eggs.
But only one or two of them pass the "Verser" stage
and develop fully into "Hyoombade."

the entrance of the elevator.

* TIME LAB 6 *
==================
'A research report on the Time Folder. Part 6.'
According to the research of the late Guildenstern,
two seperate "pulses" must be considered when operating
the Time Folder.
The first pulse is the Pulse of Time.
Time itself has a pulse. If the Time Folder is activated
without being tuned to the pulse of time, then the time fold
that it creates will be unstable. When Guildenstern activated
the machine without tuning the pulse, it resulted in the
accidental warp of Samanosuke Akechi.
The second is the Pulse of Earth.
The device must be installed at a location that is in tune
with the pulse of earth itself.
If the pulse wavers, it can cause an unstable fold in time.
We have determined that the structure called the
"Eiffel Tower" in the center of city matches the device's
need for strong pulses of both Time and Earth.
When the two pulses synchronize, and the energy they call
"atomic" is added, a perfect Fold in Time can be created.
(Thank our lucky stars that such a pefect source of energy
would exist in this age.)
Soon we will be able to welcome Lord Nobunaga, not to
mention legions of genma, to this world.

* SCRL: RANMARU *
=====================
'Ranmaru's note on his dealings with Guildenstern.'
I received a communication from Guildenstern.
I can hardly believe it, but the secret to that thing seems to
lie in the "future."
Knowing him, he's taken an interest in it,
but what is this "future"?
He claims that the pulse of time is different each day,
and at each spot.
Damn that Guildenstern. He never makes sense.
Now he's ordered us to go to Honnoji Temple in Kyoto
at a precise time on a certain day.
Does he not know his own rank?
How dare a mere vassal call upon our Lord.
Whatever the case, I am prepered to protect our Lord
with my life.
