Changes: Reunion

Revision as of 18:20, 8 May 2021

At some point in time, humans broke the natural harmony of the world. They came to know greed like no other species. They gave no thought to what their rampant breeding would do to the world.

Reunion (再起, saiki^?) is the fifth chapter of The House of the Dead 4.

Synopsis

Sitting in his office, Caleb Goldman claims that humanity's greed and "rampant" breeding, unbeknownst to them, would endanger the world.

After their battle with Temperance, AMS agent Kate Green is left in tears over the city's destruction as partner James Taylor tries to console her. Just then, his PDA goes off; he receives an email from Caleb Goldman, the deceased mastermind behind a similar incident three years ago, who begins a countdown to the launch of nuclear missiles. Realizing that Goldman is yet again the culprit, James decides to take Kate to Goldman's headquarters, located at Point A0063.

The agents find a working car and drive through the ruined city streets, fighting through hordes of creatures in a bid to reach the building. On arrival, they go through the entrance, where they confront the same cyborg-like humanoids from the 2000 incident. They are then waylaid by the Star, a levitating humanoid, in the lobby; he seeks to challenge the agents in "a test of strength" as Goldman's "parting wish".

James and Kate defeat the Star, who explodes and injures James. He dismisses the wound as an old wound as Kate helps him to his feet.

Trivia

The hole made by Hierophant in The House of the Dead 2's fifth chapter on the bridge leading to the Goldman Building is still present and can be seen in this chapter.
- In spite of the long time passage, there is no sign of any work or effort being made to repair the hole, let alone block it off. There is however now signage and street lighting on the bridge, as well as a heavier mess of traffic near the Goldman Building, pointed to and fro.
Although James and Kate referred to the area they were going through as a "city" in the previous chapter, the route map refers to it as a "Town". This could be because the word for "city" in the Japanese subtitles, "街" (machi), could be translated interchangeably as one or the other.
They are a few mistakes in the English subtitles for this chapter.
- "There's something else we must do." - "else" is given as "left".
- "Watch out for that truck!" - "the" is used in place of "that".
- "This place hasn't changed since the last time..." - The subtitles are missing "the".

 ==Synopsis==
+Sitting in his office, [[Caleb Goldman]] claims that humanity's greed and "rampant" breeding, unbeknownst to them, would endanger the world.
-In [[Caleb Goldman|Goldman's]] flashback of three years ago, Goldman questioned about the humans breaking the natural harmony of the world as they came to know greed like no other species. He states that the humans gave no thought to what their rampant breeding would do to the world.
+After their battle with [[Temperance]], [[AMS]] agent [[Kate Green]] is left in tears over the city's destruction as partner [[James Taylor]] tries to console her. Just then, his [[PDA]] goes off; he receives an email from Caleb Goldman, the deceased mastermind behind [[The House of the Dead 2|a similar incident three years ago]], who begins a countdown to the launch of nuclear missiles. Realizing that Goldman is yet again the culprit, James decides to take Kate to [[Caleb Goldman's headquarters|Goldman's headquarters]], located at Point A0063.
+The agents find a working car and drive through the ruined city streets, fighting through hordes of [[creatures]] in a bid to reach the building.  On arrival, they go through the entrance, where they confront the same cyborg-like humanoids from the 2000 incident. They are then waylaid by the [[Star]], a levitating humanoid, in the lobby; he seeks to challenge the agents in "a test of strength" as Goldman's "parting wish".
+James and Kate defeat the Star, who explodes and injures James. He dismisses the wound as an old wound as Kate helps him to his feet.
+==Trivia==
-Back in the present, after their battle with the [[Temperance]], [[Kate Green|Kate]] is left in tears as [[James Taylor|James]] cheers her up. Meanwhile, James' PDA goes off and an e-mail is shown to come from an unknown sender as the nuclear missiles are set to launch in an hour. James easily recognizes the sender as Goldman as he has an idea on where to start, as they go down the ruined streets of Venice.
+*The hole made by [[Hierophant]] in [[The House of the Dead 2|''The House of the Dead 2'']]'s [[Dawn|fifth chapter]] on the bridge leading to the Goldman Building is still present and can be seen in this chapter.

-They reached the entrance of the building, but are greeted by stealth cyborgs before making it to the lobby to fight the [[Star]]. The Star wants to test the agents' strength as part of Goldman's parting wish, much to their annoyance. They manage to defeat the Star while Kate jokingly remarks that the Star has "failed the test", as the undead explodes near James, wounding him in the process. James dismisses this wound as an old wound as he struggles to get up.
