Plot[edit]
CD 01[edit]
1. Prologue[edit]
At an unknown point of time, Hermann is in the process of being knighted into the U-TIC Organization. Richard calls on him to discuss their upcoming meeting with Inquisitor Pellegri. As Hermann has never met the Inquisitor himself, Richard tells him that as someone who is devoted to serve others, he will do well under her command. Richard says that, despite both of them working under the command of Pellegri, no matter how great she may be, Hermann "belongs to" him. The two then head for Pleroma.
2. The Existence Called 'chaos'[edit]
Concurrent to the events of Xenosaga Episode I, Shion and the main party from the game are relaxing at the Foundation's artificial beach. Shion asks Allen if he thinks that Jr. and Gaignun are father and son. Allen responds with two leading rumors he's heard about their relation to one another, that Jr. is either a clone of Gaignun or perhaps his illegitimate son. MOMO interjects, saying that the two's genome arrays are too different for them to be clones. She also posits that the pair are likely neither father & son nor siblings, as they are still too similar. Shion is intrigued by this, as DNA only requires a 0.1% difference to create an entirely new human being. Before the conversation gets any further, Jr. interrupts. He asks what Allen meant by calling him an illegitimate son, which Allen sheepishly dodges starting a conversation about. Allen, instead, move the conversation to be about the beach they are on and how real it feels. This prompts Jr. to show off its weather control features, starting with a thunderstorm. This sends Shion into an intense panic, as she hates thunder. The scene then flashes back to when the prototype KOS-MOS awoke and killed Kevin, a time in which there was also a thunderstorm. Shion, in the present day, apologizes for her outburst. chaos attempts to reassure Shion, telling her that (while changing the past is impossible) she should not try and forget the past at all. He encourages her to instead face the past head-on, using her pain as a tool to know herself better.
