Incineration of Human Order and Human Restoration

Chaldea, Chaldea... what a money pit. I looked over every facility again and again, and every single one was useful. Better to have Marisbury use Atlas's contract documents and let them handle it. I couldn't afford to keep spending like this.

The core issue now was whether Chaldeas would eventually develop into the Alien Star God, and whether Mash and Gudako would exist.

According to the original Fate/Grand Order timeline: In 1950, the Phenomenon Recording Computer Familiar, Laplace, was successfully developed, and Chaldea began construction in Antarctica.

In 1990, the Pseudo-Earth Environment Model, Chaldeas, was completed as the first prototype. Due to insufficient funding and materials, its activation was abandoned.

In 1999, the Near-Future Observation Lens: Sheba was completed.

In 2000, Chaldea developed an artificial body for Heroic Spirit fusion, and Mash Kyrielight was born.

In 2004, Marisbury successfully conducted a Heroic Spirit summoning somewhere, won the Holy Grail War, began trial operation of Chaldeas, and launched the Heroic Spirit Summoning System: Fate project.

In 2005, Romani Archaman, the doctor, took up his post at Chaldea.

In 2010, the Heroic Spirit Summoning System successfully summoned the second subject, but the discovery of his Saint Graph was rejected. Romani became Mash Kyrielight's attending physician. The Heroic Spirit Summoning System: Fate was established. (Galahad)

In 2012, Director Animusphere died. The third Heroic Spirit was summoned, but she refused to form a Master contract and remained as a lone Servant. (Da Vinci)

In 2013, Olga-Marie Animusphere took office.

In 2014, Mash Kyrielight turned fourteen and appeared as a staff member.

In 2015, the Spiritron Calculation Device, Trismegistus, was completed.

In 2016, the lights of civilization observed by Chaldeas vanished. The story began.

In 2016, during the massive Chaldea explosion caused by Lev Lainur Flauros, the only newcomer Master to escape was Ritsuka Fujimaru, who had been expelled from the orientation session and was not present at the blast site.

The other forty-seven Masters were placed in emergency cryogenic storage. More than three hundred people at Chaldea died, fewer than twenty staff members remained, and the highest-ranking survivor was Romani Archaman.

That was how Fate/Grand Order began, but this timeline had first eliminated the appearance of Romani Archaman, which also ruled out Lev Lainur Flauros's appearance.

Since I was about to become the director, Olga-Marie Animusphere would have no chance to become director. In a roundabout way, I had saved her life.

Still, according to this timeline, she should have obediently inherited the family business. Marisbury no longer held any expectations for her.

I arrived safely at Chaldea in Antarctica without encountering any trouble along the way.

There were not many people there to greet me: Marisbury, his disciple Kirschtaria Wodime, and a little girl of about three.

I stepped forward and shook his hand. "Sorry to keep you waiting." After exchanging pleasantries, we went to Marisbury's office, while Kirschtaria Wodime took my technicians to verify the technical projects one by one.

Now, only Marisbury, the three-year-old girl, and I remained.

Marisbury spoke. "This is my daughter, Olga-Marie Animusphere. Olga-Marie, hurry and greet your big brother."

What an adorable little girl. She looked exactly like him, with the same eyes and the same hair color.

After the pleasantries, I requested a personnel list. I looked it over and found no familiar names, which meant either they had not joined yet, or they would never appear at all.

After all, even Mash would not be born for another six years. Arriving too early was a kind of torture.

I suggested to Marisbury that we take a look around, and he readily agreed. We visited the combat command room, the artificial fetus cultivation room, the combat training room, the research laboratories, the logistics department, the staff dormitories, and finally the cafeteria.

I met the only three named members of Chaldea, saw an artificial embryo that might become Mash in the future, and even sampled the food in Chaldea's cafeteria. Silently, I added another entry for cafeteria investment expenses in my little notebook.

That evening, everyone gathered their information and brought it to me for the final decision.

I looked over all the data and everyone's personal opinions. Their assessments were all fair and reasonable, without any selfish motives mixed in.

I said to Marisbury, "According to the people I brought with me, these facilities are indeed necessary if the premise is safeguarding Human Order. However..." Marisbury had begun happily and excitedly, but the moment he heard the word "however," he grew uneasy again.

The idea of saving Human Order was not difficult to understand. Human Order was the concept of humanity's origin, existence, and development upon this worldline.

Humanity's origin and existence were dependent on Human Order. Furthermore, the influences created by humanity—things like language, culture, and other products of civilization, as well as humanity's impact on the world—were also dependent on Human Order.

Thus, [Incineration of Human Order] meant destroying Human Order and eradicating humans, or humanity, from the conceptual root of their existence. This included all things and influences produced by humanity.

After the Incineration of Human Order, the worldline where it occurred would still exist, but humans, or humanity as a form of existence, would be gone. The worldline itself would continue developing.

Therefore, when we observed the Incineration of Human Order, we had to go there and change that outcome. After the Incineration of Human Order, the worldline where it occurred would still exist, but humans, or humanity as a form of existence, would be gone.

We had to change things so humanity could continue. After the Incineration of Human Order, the worldline where it occurred would still exist, but humans, or humanity as a form of existence, would be gone.

What we needed to do was send people to carry out Human Restoration at the point before humanity's incineration occurred. Literally, it meant restoring Human Order that had already been damaged or was about to be incinerated.

Restoration activities would be carried out before the point where the Incineration of Human Order took place. However, Human Restoration would not completely restore Human Order; the restored Human Order would have subtle differences from the original.

Of course, that was all for later. What I mainly wanted to say was that the Chaldeas and Near-Future Observation Lens: Sheba projects should be postponed for now, while the other projects took priority.

Marisbury stood up and said, "Why? Those are the core! All the other facilities are preparing for those two things."

"Easy," I said. "I'm not saying we should abandon them, only postpone them. Look at the evaluations provided by the employees I brought."

Both Chaldeas and the Near-Future Observation Lens: Sheba could save costs at the source. Genji Heavy Industries, Genji Light Industries, Genji Technology, Genji Electronics, and several other companies could produce the required components, reducing costs to forty percent below the original price and saving a great deal of money.

Even though we could invest in them, why not choose to manufacture them ourselves?

The Genji Clan might be rich, but we still had to save where we could. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to explain things to the Elder Council. You should understand that when a family is large.

After hearing me out, Marisbury seemed to find it reasonable. "My deepest apologies. I was too hasty. We've waited this long already; a little more time won't matter."
