DIRECTOR: What? You said she'd--
PLAYWRIGHT: I know. I know. But the scenario must have degraded too much. She's not following the model at all.
DIRECTOR: Do you realize what we've just...
PLAYWRIGHT: It's fine! Just-- Just bring it out. This will just have to do, won't it? it's over.
CHORUS:
PLAYWRIGHT: ...why isn't it speaking?
DIRECTOR: She probably doesn't understand that it's over.
PLAYWRIGHT: Why?!
DIRECTOR: If I were to take a stab in the dark, I'd say it was because there was no ending.
PLAYWRIGHT: Oh, for heaven's sake! Hey! Toaster! We're done. Get on with the finale speech!
CHORUS: And so, the battle between man and entropy has co to an end. Weapons have clashed, blood has been shed, and the sins of the past have co to bear. Yet, though at great cost, mankind has weathered danger and tragedy to seize hope from the brink of defeat. Temperance has been his shield, wisdom his sword. Thus does he survive the wroth of the gods, yet marked with a lesson.
CHORUS: But in truth, this was no battle between man and fate, but rather man and his own hubris. As is ever the case.
CHORUS: Theodoros, entropy's betrayer and the true culprit - who used the machinations of the Order of the Universal Panacea and his own classmates to further his design - has been exposed. Following the unveiling of the truth, he is bowed and brought to heel. The survivors escape, taking him from the sanctuary and back to the larger world at last. There, as he faces his reckoning, and at last confesses the truth: That, after a lifeti of living in his father's shadow and trying in vain to follow in his footsteps, he ca to be disgusted by the Order, its cause, and its terrible secrets. And so he sought to eliminate it, root and stem.
