280. A presentation by Professor Nominos from

281. the Catford Strategy Lab on Planet Q.

282. Antitheology in Capitalism

283. Today, I would like to present my...

284. alarming findings to the world.

285. About the similarities between Catty&Co. And Minerva

286. Please recall the meddlesome Catty&Co. Logo that you see

287. in your local shopping mall every day.

288. Persicuted since 100 B.C., the same code word,

289. was passed down in the ancient documents from

290. the secret Minerva religion of the Feline galaxy.

291. To the world historians, economists and

292. theologians who have succumbed to large capital...

293. I'd like to inform you of the embarrassing truth that

294. has been concealed until today.

295. I'd like to express my respect to the Cat Chinese regime's

296. brave decision in sponsoring this presentation.

297. Please divert your attention to these excavated relics.

298. From 80 to 50 B.C.,

299. the same cat eyes mark was found,

300. in all of the Minervan archives.

301. After this, persecuted cult members,

302. who were almost destroyed, revived the mark.

303. It was printed in the postal system on

304. secret mail for sending messages during

305. a period of chaos and war.

306. From 1490, a consumer goods company

307. made use of the cat eyes

308. trademark along with the brand name CATTY

309. on in-house manufactured goods.

310. From the mid 1800s as a conglomerate of postal works,

311. household consumer goods, manufacturing, and sales,

312. the CATTY & COMPANY brand name appears on the world market...

313. and a massive public relations campaign begins.

314. With massive capital and political connections,

315. Catty&Co. Merges with industries in the Feline Galaxy,

316. as well as with neighboring Cat Planets.

317. After repetitive mergers, Catty&Co. Has gotten...

318. where it is today.

319. 1869. A match box series featuring,

320. a cat sold at a famous hotel boutique,

321. in Meguro, Tokyo.

322. A female cat written along with the Catty&Co. Logo.

323. 1969.

324. The same cat appears in a commercial on the West Coast

325. network, Cat Earth. USA.

326. Suffering from Amnesia?

327. Try DON'T FORGET.

328. From CATTY & COMPANY.

329. Now in tablet form.

330. The cat eyes mark from the Minerva & Catty, and

331. product advertising with the cute female cat,

332. appeared from 1869.

333. Who could she be?

334. This female cat who never changes.

335. Doesn't she ever die?

336. Is she a product of data?

337. No, wrong. Positively incorrect.

338. This beautifui cat is alive.

339. Always searching... A long, long time has passed,

340. as if I was having a incredibly long dream.

341. A continuous dream of one tiny girl passed

342. in front of me one afternoon.

343. Following after her trail, all I found was

344. the dark history of a vast conspiracy.

345. They don't matter to me.

346. Catty or Minerva...

347. Fire! Fire!

348. I want to see Tamala again.

349. What was she anyway...

350. Good day listeners.

351. Your own Chuck Dopler isn't having a good day.

352. I mean, life is dangerous.

353. Terrorism! It's everywhere.

354. What's happening to our country?

355. Can you see outside the radio booth? The smoke.

356. What's up with that? You folks in Burika are in trouble.

357. Incident at Hate EW3.

358. 16 dead, wounded unknown. Unit 5 and 7, respond now.

359. Tamala / Tatla are coming! The end is near!

360. Cat's Eye Shopping Center

361. Huh, what am I doing?

362. I can't move. My head's boiling.

363. My head's pounding.

364. Why's Kentauros shaking?

365. Silly Kentauros. I'm here for you.

366. Hey Kentauros. I know. Let's go on a picnic.

367. If those stupid cats would just shut up...

368. Let s go to the forest.

369. Yoo-hoo.

370. Yoo-hoo.

371. Hi, Michelangelo Nominos?

372. This is the IM credit card center.

373. We couldn't withdrawal from your bank account.

374. If you borrow money, you must pay it back.

375. It's tough on me too. There's no use.

376. But I'm broke. Of course, I don't hate working but...

377. That's it. I'll look for a job I like.

378. Maybe... write a novel.

379. I'll keep living with my things...

380. in this room with big windows.

381. In this room...

382. What... What was that?

383. She's... What... Tamala?

384. The town is up in arms. Everyone has gone mad...

385. A Descent into the Maelstrom

386. Horrible things are happening.

387. You talking to me?

388. Have I lost it?

389. Is this a dream?

390. Could you spare an old man a cup of milk?

391. This Ole World in Minerva's dreams.

392. Ever heard of the Minerva, you whipper-snapper?

393. This ancient, cursed, secret religion infests us even now.

394. Who are you?

395. Is your arm okay?

396. You got a smoke? Marlboro Reds. I hate lights.

397. Repeated destruction and rebirth...

398. The progress of an undying world.

399. Their activity based in a crazed doctrine

400. devoted to live sacrifice.

401. A crazed cult that couldn't avoid persecution and mass killings.

402. Some believers sought revenge and changed

403. their identities to fulfiil their pledge.

404. Then, they changed it's name.

405. Now, here's the kicker son.

406. They changed the name to Catty&Co.

407. I've heard of it. That new cab company right?

408. A jeans manufacturer?

409. Huh? Where was I now?

410. Oh yes. Making use of underground passageways,

411. built by Catty,

412. they began by cheaply contracting mail delivery,

413. from the battle fields of the chaotic Middle Ages.

414. Letters from soldiers to their mothers.

415. Love letters to sweethearts.

416. The crazed believers ran around the battles with joy.

417. They realized something... the power of information.

418. If they could control the vortex of information in...

419. Blackmail, ransom letters, fluctuation in exchange rates,

420. you name it,

421. they could rule the planet and get revenge.

422. The entire universe would be Minerva's and Catty's.

423. They processed information faster than anyone.

424. They completely destroyed all rivals and took over.

425. Making money creating and selling volumes of matches,

426. canned goods, films, jeans.

427. Business, business, business.

428. Before you know it, the persecuted end up the rulers.

429. And where is revenge?

430. Turning into nothing but an emotioniess anti-cat.

431. A "Destruction and rebirth machine."

432. The children are the only ones who can sense this control.

433. I guess you're too old.

434. The ominous robot of Minerva and Catty&Co.,

435. hoping to propagate the planet the Minerva religion created,

436. a robot named Tatla from a deep-sea of information.

437. An icon to enhance unrest and chaos.

438. Through telephone lines and fiber optics,

439. controlling the REM sleep of kids under the age of one,

440. using low-frequency wave-patterns in looping visuals, images

441. of Tatla are projected in their temporal lobes.

442. The kids have seen the the same robot in their dreams.

443. But that's not all. Tatla is growing.

444. The result of this excess Self-propagation is...

445. the creation of another world.

446. A world different from ours, one of terrible nightmares.

447. Their world is invading our world.

448. Tatla.

449. She was originally a mythical goddess.

450. A beautiful goddess representing destruction and rebirth.

451. I know all, see all.

452. This appetite for destruction and rebirth is hardwired

453. in Tatla's program.

454. This being "Destroy things, buy things, destroy things."

455. So that the world will advance infinitely.

456. The Minerva religion equals the shitty slogan of Catty&Co.

457. Know all, see all.

458. Oh dear... The power's gone off.

459. The stage had been set.

460. Then, they created an ill-natured female cat.

461. You don't know huh?

462. In 1869 of the Cat Earth calendar, on the Planet of

463. Edessa in the Orion system, 200,000 newborn kittens

464. went missing in a huge fire one night.

465. It was never made public.

466. We whispered the name of this dreadful night calling it

467. the Red Night of Edessa.

468. 200,000 kittens were tested to overwrite Tatla's program.

469. But only one female kitten was successful.

470. Sent to the place they longingly wanted to control during a time,

471. of chaos and war. No, the opposite.

472. They were fascinated with war and revolution.

473. They're so damn annoying.

474. That's right. They love blood.

475. Blood flowing from others.

476. That's their true nature.

477. Then, by Tamala being eaten, this female cat can propagate

478. their appetite by being sent into this place of chaos.

479. Along with Tatla, they created a pussy cat unconscious of

480. destruction and rebirth.

481. Why was she eaten you ask?

482. Others religions practice cannibalism too right?

483. But they were proper religions.

484. "A single grain of wheat can take root."

485. A sacrifice. A scapegoat.

486. Destruction and rebirth feeds on the sacrifice of beauty.

487. A sacrifice. A ritual becoming of these crazed believers.

488. I've no idea what you're babbling on about.

489. Don't play dumb.

490. That's why you're hurting, young man.

491. That's why I came without an invitation.

492. Then maybe... Just maybe... I am you.

493. I'm a...

494. Tamala was born in 1869.

495. She's been alive for over 100 years.

496. I'm a cat who never dies too.

497. Cat got your tongue?

498. I know all, see all.

499. But that girl is unworthy.

500. She never dies. She's one-year-old, forever.

501. She's the one true victim. She must be saved.

502. She was born on Orion, ripped away from her mother.

503. The Red Night of Edessa. Midnight. April 29, 1869.

504. By Minerva... Catty's dirty paw.

505. I feel unworthy. She longs to meet her real mother.

506. Besides, Orion is a nice place.

507. The only place where a cat like me, who never dies,

508. can finally rest in peace.

509. I know all, see all, hear all.

510. Oh, no, no. There I go again.

511. Just when I was talking about the enigma of Minerva,

512. this enigma fabricates yet another answer.

513. Why you ask? Because I intervened in that

514. riddle wrapped in an enigma.

515. Minerva could be a demon possessed by history!

516. How about another cup of milk?

517. I'll pour you one.

518. Then, we are hoping for demons within ourselves.

519. He's whacko. Definitely not sane.

520. Tune in next week for the final climax.

521. Ah, it's over.

522. Me can't go home yet. Wait just a moment longer.

523. The mirror spins around again.

524. The mirror... Spins around... again.

525. Me so tired of these games.

526. So tired of this job.

527. This mirror projects nothing but lies.

528. This mirror... projects... nothing but lies.

529. Me go to Orion. Then, me smash the lying mirror.

530. Orion... Edessa...
