AUTHOR'S NOTE
I know it's a little long, but please read all of it - it's very important
to this story.
This is a page or so to answer a few potential questions about this story before you read it. I'm a big fan of Chrono Trigger - I played it excessively and got to all of the endings. Now, in Chrono Trigger, many questions about Robo's past went unanswered. I also felt that during the game, he hides back many thoughts or some information that might be interesting, and I thought that a novelization of Chrono Trigger from the point of view of Robo would be very fun to create. I have this story organized into three catagories: System Checks, which tell how Robo's systems are reacting during startup or shutdown. Sensor Recordings, which tell exactly what Robo's sensors are picking up. And lastly, Log Entries, where Robo writes his actions and observations.
Now, enough blah blah blah - onto the important stuff. First of all, yes, I kept all dialogue EXACTLY the same as the game, except for areas I have added. The first Personal Data Log is not included in this, because it is entirely new. Also, I felt that when a character stays in the End of Time, they might have their own secondary adventures possibly with the other characters left there. I also thought that the origin of Robo's "friendship" with Atropos was never explained - I wanted to do that as well. Another thing - I changed several of the dates just to make things more accurate. For instance - I changed Robo's creation date to exactly five days before the Day of Lavos (Now December 27th, 1998). Also, when Lucca travels to 999 AD, her "past self" is pictured as being about 6 or 7 years old. Lucca definetely is not near 8, so I changed the date she travels to to 992 AD. I left all other dates and features as they are in the game.
One last thing. When I created this, one of the main reasons was to depict Robo's emotional change. When you read this, watch for how the style of writing changes as Robo begins to understand emotions and feelings.
Thanks a lot,
The Author
P.S. This was probably the hardest story for me to write...hope it isn't too bad. Please
review!!! One last thing - if the lines appear to be messed up, or some lines are on
the left half of the screen where they should be in the center, please forgive my
stupid computer which I will one day beat to a charred mess.
