Brigadoon: Marin & Melan - Glossary

Glossary

• Brigadoon (ブリガドーン, Burigadōn?) - Once every 100 years, the worlds of Brigadoon and Earth share a dimensional space bubble. This phenomenon causes a dangerous event called Mutual Collapse.
• Monomakia (モノマキア, Monomakia?) - Also known as Bionic Machines. The Monomakia are creatures engineered by the inhabitants of Brigadoon, each of which is created for a specific purpose such as combat, assassination, transportation, etc. Some are more organic than others.
• Ampoule (アンプル, Anpuru?) - A small container much like a bottle that holds individual Monomakia when they are inactive. Ampoules also serve as life support systems and regenerative units for the Monomakia inside.
• Mutual Collapse (等価崩壊, Touka Houkai?) - A phenomenon of space-time disturbances caused when Earth and Brigadoon make dimensional contact.
• Renegade (変数値, Hensu-chi?) - The primary antagonistic force of the series. A political faction that seeks to disrupt the Pasca Ritual and thus bring about the destruction of both Earth and Brigadoon. The Japanese word used to denote this faction is 変数値 (Hensu-chi?), which is a mathematical term referring to a variable value.
• Pasca (パスカ, Pasuka?) - A dangerous ritual that should not happen, and is a sort of last resort for saving the worlds and restoring stability. The falling of the Tower of Bronte to Earth alerted Melan that the Day of Pasca was coming near.
• Creis (クレイス, Kureisu?) - A key element for the Pasca Ritual. Marin is believed to be the Creis, which makes her the target of many a hostile Monomakia.
• Funny World (ファニー・ワールド, Fani Warudo?) - A nickname for Earth used by the inhabitants of Brigadoon.
• Submaton Color (サヴマトン・カラー Savumaton karā?) - A third world that exists between Earth and Brigadoon. It can only be accessed when the two worlds are near each other, but it is not affected by Mutual Collapse.
