Sending PM to you.

Ok.

Also, I use Nightwish as an example because I love how they blend that hard metal feel with the orchestral sound. It has the beauty and grace of the orchestra, all while having all the raw power and energy of metal. When blended together, you get my something amazing, an epic hybrid. :p

Also, just wanted to know, do you want a summary of Arc 1 as well so you get a feel of what I'm planning on doing, or do you rather want to be surprised?

@Wriggle

Hmm...

Maybe a small summary. :p

@s1

that's the problem...
In Xenosaga EP1, when he learns of MOMO's existence, he becomes obsessed with her. There's a few reasons for this: 1) Y-Data 2) The person she's based on had a relationship with his twin brother, Rubedo, and so she becomes a part of his plot to lure Rubedo to him.

...Though... there is this...

"Albedo tells Jr. of his plans, to shove the entire universe into a higher-order domain, where everyone will be fused into one perfect existence."

But this is when he's fused with U-DO. Part of me doesn't think this is his plan from the start but it could be...
The reason why I don't think this is Albedo's plan is because U-DO is, from what I understand, is supposed to be tied to the higher-order domain. Therefore I think when he goes on about this plan, I think it's U-DO talking.
...but if we say it isn't then...

@Cucoo

That might work.

What's y-data?

in short, it's research logs of this one scientist that had discovered the secrets of the Zohar which is a relic of God as well as a bunch of other secrets to infinite power, where this one lost planet was that had more secrets to infinite power, and so on so forth.
Something that everyone was ready to stab each other in the back for kinda thing.

Spoiler

The Y-Data is information described as the "Root of the Miltian Conflict". It is said to be the entire log of Joachim Mizrahi which comprised his entire research especially regarding the Zohar among many integral events and components in the series including the Gnosis phenomenon and the location of Lost Jerusalem. It also includes the access codes to the U.M.N. transfer column for the Old Miltia sector, which have been lost since the conflict.

During the Miltian Conflict, Jin Uzuki stole a copy of the Y-Data from U-TIC, likely from Margulis, and downloaded it into Canaan. However the data was encrypted and could only be accessed within Labyrinthos. For 14 years the Miltian government worked endlessly to decode it to no avail.

Another copy was hidden within MOMO Mizrahi. Several people, including Juli Mizrahi, Joachim's wife, had no knowledge that the copy existed within her. MOMO's copy of the Y-Data features a safeguard that the Ormus cult, namely Albedo Piazzolla, had to bypass in Episode II in order to extract the information he needed to locate the Abyss. According to Wilhelm, the data extracted from MOMO by Albedo was incomplete.

@Cucoo

Ahh, I see.

Anyways, what about the nihilistic angle? Do you think we might be able to get something out of it?

If we say he's trying to "teach humanity a lesson"...
I mean... if he believes this...

Albedo believes that human civilization is pathetic and that culture is simply delusions and views it as a form of terror management theory as a distraction from death.

He might try to "wake up" humanity, rather than destroy them.
Because I definitely don't want to reduce him to "just another bad guy that wants to destroy the world." He's more than that... He might be crazy and might be willing to kill a lot of people to get a point across, but he does it to achieve a "higher goal."

@Cucoo

That might work. He's trying to prove a philosophical point. What does he want to achieve in the end? What does he expect will happen?
