UI Quest Quest Description

As you travel through Nod-Krai, you decide to take a stroll around Nasha Town...
(Upon receiving the quest)
Media:vo nkeq001 1 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Hey, we've been in Nod-Krai for a while now, but we still don't know much about this place.
Media:vo nkeq001 1 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Now we've got some free time, why don't we go explore Nasha Town for a bit?
(Approach the notice board)
Media:vo nkeq001 1 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Wow, this place is buzzing with activity... Oh, hey! There's a notice board over there!
(Check the notice board)
Media:vo nkeq001 1 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Huh... There's so much space on this thing, but only one post. Let's see here...
Someone's Request for Help

Dear Friend:
Should you read this request for aid, please head to the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop as soon as you can.
Please forgive the sudden request. A heretofore unseen crisis has descended, and my simulations confirm that the Craftshop's chances of destruction have increased by 10.3%, with the chances of Nod-Krai as a whole being destroyed having increased by 2.6%. These developments are what have prompted the request.
The situation is urgent, and I have decided to face this crisis down alone first. The chance that I will not return is 83%, which is why I have left this here.
Once again, please head to the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop as soon as you can. Thank you very much!
Ineffa
Media:vo nkeq001 1 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Wait, Ineffa needs help? Uh oh... What's this about a "major crisis" and "ruin"?
Icon Dialogue Talk White Sounds serious...
Icon Dialogue Talk White Could it be a prank?
Media:vo nkeq001 1 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: We should still head over and check on things, just in case!

Icon Quest Step Step Description

After receiving Ineffa's request for aid, you and Paimon decide to head for the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop to help face the crisis her message mentioned...
(Approach the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop)
Media:vo nkeq001 2 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Ineffa! We saw your notice, and we're here to help! ...Hello? Anybody here?
Media:vo nkeq001 2 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Huh, she's gone... Does that mean she really ran into trouble she couldn't handle?
Media:vo nkeq001 2 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: Ah, Paimon and (‍Traveler‍) are the first to arrive. Sincere apologies, I am unable to come down and greet you at the present moment. I will have to converse from up here.
(Ineffa is shown to be stuck to the magnetic crane above)
Media:vo nkeq001 2 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Ineffa!? What the...
Icon Dialogue Talk White Is this the major crisis?
Media:vo nkeq001 2 paimon 04a 1.ogg Paimon: What happened? Did someone attack you?
Media:vo nkeq001 2 ineffa 02a 1.ogg Ineffa: Hmm... The logic of your conclusion is sound, but I would not use that word. After all, Aino is the one who did this.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Is this a prank?
Media:vo nkeq001 2 paimon 04b 1.ogg Paimon: ...Yeah, it does kinda seem like someone is having their fun.
Media:vo nkeq001 2 ineffa 02b 1.ogg Ineffa: Hmm... The logic of your conclusion is unsound. My calculations suggest trapping me here was a serious decision for Aino.
(If the player has not met Ineffa yet, an introductory note appears on screen)
Ineffa IconIneffa — Boom Boom Thunderwave
A Multifunctional Robot for Domestic Application from the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop. Adept at cleaning, cooking, and combat.
She expresses care for her family and friends in her own unique way, within the bounds of her strict operating logic.
Reminders to rest on time, the preparation of nutritious lunches, and the logging of preferences...
The metal that makes up her form might be cold, but every moment spent with those dear to her has forged for her a "heart" of unparalleled warmth.
Media:vo nkeq001 2 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Wait, so Aino's the one who did this?
Icon Dialogue Talk White Before we hash this out...
Icon Dialogue Talk White Let's get Ineffa down from there.
Media:vo nkeq001 2 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Ah, good idea. Does this giant magnet have a switch or something?
Media:vo nkeq001 2 ineffa 03.ogg Ineffa: Request is not feasible. Aino has locked down the control system. Analyzing further options... Conclusion: The priority level of certain rules must be lowered.
Media:vo nkeq001 2 ineffa 04.ogg Ineffa: Decision: I will temporarily override one of Aino's rules and inform you about the hidden control system. But first, I must be certain you will keep it a secret.
Media:vo nkeq001 2 paimon 07a.ogg Paimon: Okay, um... Paimon didn't really understand any of that, hehe... But, don't worry! You can trust us for sure!
Media:vo nkeq001 2 ineffa 05.ogg Ineffa: Sufficient grounds for override... Please proceed to the path to the side of the workshop and locate the robots scattered over there.
Media:vo nkeq001 2 ineffa 06.ogg Ineffa: Once you have located all the specific robots, you can unlock the control system. This is the backdoor Aino established for herself, as she often forgets the password.
Media:vo nkeq001 2 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Okay, so we just need to collect all the bots! We've got this!
(Message shown when the objective starts)
Help Ineffa out of the jam she is in
Search for the specified bots
(Interact with the robots)
Icon Dialogue Talk White Found You!
(After approximately one minute passes without finding all the robots, Ineffa marks the areas to be searched)
Media:vo nkeq001 3 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: Detecting companions in need of help... Assistance in progress. Marking high probability search areas.
(The remaining robots are marked with quest markers)
(After interacting with the robot hidden behind the crates and metal sheets)
Media:vo nkeq001 3 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Wow, what a crazy hiding spot... Aino wasn't taking any chances, was she...

(After finding all nine robots)
Robot: Beep-beep.
(The robots arrange themselves in a 3 by 3 stacked form and become activated)
Media:vo nkeq001 4 robota 01.ogg Robot: Zing-Zap Mechanical Claw backup control system now online. Enter a command.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Shut down the Zing-Zap Mechanical Claw.
Media:vo nkeq001 4 robota 02.ogg Robot: Command confirmed. Shutting down Zing-Zap Mechanical Claw Number 1.
(The Mechanical Claw shuts down and Ineffa falls down to the ground with a heavy thud)
Media:vo nkeq001 4 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: You okay, Ineffa?
Media:vo nkeq001 4 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: Inspection in progress... All functions normal. I am unharmed. Aino adjusted the kuuvahki strength to make sure of that.
(The Travler and Paimon rush toward Ineffa)
Media:vo nkeq001 4 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: So, what exactly happened?
Media:vo nkeq001 4 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: Compiling relevant data... Simplification in progress... In short, Aino created a new robot companion not too long ago, but yesterday, someone stole it from the workshop.
Media:vo nkeq001 4 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Oh, that explains it...
Icon Dialogue Talk White So, this is the "major crisis"?
Media:vo nkeq001 4 ineffa 03.ogg Ineffa: I used that term because Aino intends to unleash the force of her entire fleet of combat robots against those suspected of the theft.
Media:vo nkeq001 4 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: What!?
Media:vo nkeq001 4 ineffa 04.ogg Ineffa: If Aino manages to use her genius for destructive purposes, all of Nod-Krai will be facing a crisis the likes of which has never been seen before.
Media:vo nkeq001 4 ineffa 05.ogg Ineffa: When I attempted to stop her, she trapped me with that device. Fortunately, I was prepared for that possibility, and was able to post a request for help in advance.
Media:vo nkeq001 4 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Oh, you mean that notice board in the middle of the square?
Media:vo nkeq001 4 ineffa 06.ogg Ineffa: Correct. According to my calculations, posting that notice had a 94% chance of success, much higher than all other plans.
Media:vo nkeq001 4 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Yeah, it was pretty hard to miss...
Media:vo nkeq001 4 ineffa 07.ogg Ineffa: Fortunately, you arrived just in time. Aino and her robot fleet should still be at the workshop. Please follow me.
Media:vo nkeq001 4 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: You got it! Lead the way!

(Approach Aino at the marked location)
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 01.ogg Aino: Clink Clank Legion, it's time to move out!
(If the player has not met Aino yet, an introductory note appears on screen)
Aino IconAino — Clinky-Clank Gadgets-A-Gogo
A whiz-kid inventor from Nod-Krai, and the owner of the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop.
Her little mind seems to overflow with countless marvelous ideas sufficient to turn scrap materials into stunning masterpieces beyond one's wildest imagination.
However, this genius and self-proclaimed "parent" of various robots has practically no life skills beyond inventing, and her daily life is sustained entirely by the machines she has created.
Media:vo nkeq001 5 clinkclanklegion 01.ogg Clink Clank Legion: Move out!
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 02.ogg Aino: Our objective is simple: Track down the thief and save our comrade!
Media:vo nkeq001 5 clinkclanklegion 02.ogg Clink Clank Legion: Track down the thief! Save our comrade!
(Ineffa rushes toward Aino)
Media:vo nkeq001 5 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: Aino, you have to stop this.
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 03.ogg Aino: Ineffa? How did you get free? I thought the kuuvahki would be more than strong enough...
Media:vo nkeq001 5 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: You can't do this, Aino!
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 04.ogg Aino: Aha, so you had help! Well, don't even think of trying to stop me! I don't care if I have to search all of Nod-Krai — I will find the person who did this!
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 05.ogg Aino: And I have to go now, or "Krum-Clank 70% Sweet" will get dismantled and sold for parts!
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 06.ogg Aino: Clink Clank Legion, move out!
Media:vo nkeq001 5 clinkclanklegion 03.ogg Clink Clank Legion: Move out!
Media:vo nkeq001 5 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: What do we do? It's not like we can resort to physical force!
Media:vo nkeq001 5 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: Aino's sugar intake has already exceeded normal levels this month, but given the present situation... Are either of you carrying anything sweet with you?
Icon Dialogue Talk White Why are we talking about dessert all of a sudden?
Media:vo nkeq001 5 ineffa 03.ogg Ineffa: Desserts are the only thing that can get Aino to calm down, and I have already used up the allotment I had prepared.
(The Traveler and Ineffa turn their gaze to Paimon, and Paimon looks shiftily at them)
Media:vo nkeq001 5 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: ...Okay, what's with the staring? Paimon's not one to leave leftovers, you know...
(The Traveler and Ineffa intensify their gaze toward Paimon)
Media:vo nkeq001 5 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Fine... Paimon does have some she was saving for later.
(The scene shifts to Ineffa holding up a plate with a slice of an unknown Midsommar Berry-based pie toward Aino)
Media:vo nkeq001 5 ineffa 04.ogg Ineffa: Aino, why don't you calm down for a second and have some dessert?
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 07.ogg Aino: Hmph, still treating me like a kid, huh!
Media:vo nkeq001 5 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: At least it worked...
(All the robots in the Clink Clank Legion are shown to deactivate in a question mark formation)
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 08.ogg Aino: Listen... I know you guys think I'm making a big deal out of nothing... But, this wasn't just some scrap parts you can sell on the black market!
(The dessert is shown to have been finished by Aino)
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 09.ogg Aino: This was a robot I was about to add to the workshop, just like Ineffa... And as the boss of this place, it's my job to look out for these bots!
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 10.ogg Aino: Even though I'm the one who gets looked after most of the time... But, still! Not letting a bot get carted off right under my nose is the least I can do!
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 11.ogg Aino: It's a disgrace... I don't want to be that kind of boss...
Media:vo nkeq001 5 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Aino...
Icon Dialogue Talk White None of us think you were making a big deal out of nothing...
Icon Dialogue Talk White I probably would've done the same.
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 12.ogg Aino: Really?
Icon Dialogue Talk White But, rushing into action...
Icon Dialogue Talk White Often just makes the situation worse.
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 13.ogg Aino: ...
Media:vo nkeq001 5 ineffa 05.ogg Ineffa: We can come up with a plan together. We'll help you get "Krum-Clank 70% Sweet" back safe and sound.
Media:vo nkeq001 5 aino 14.ogg Aino: Thanks. And, um, about earlier... I'm sorry, Ineffa.
(Aino hugs Ineffa)
Media:vo nkeq001 5 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Phew... Looks like the military escapade's on hold for now.
Media:vo nkeq001 5 ineffa 06.ogg Ineffa: Let's go back to the workshop.
(Talk to the Clink Clank Legion robots, optional)
Media:vo dialog nkeq001 clinkclanklegion 01.ogg Clink Clank Legion: On standby. Waiting for command.

(Enter Aino's House)
(Everyone is seated around a table with various food on top)
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: Job well done, everyone. Please enjoy some tea and dessert while we devise a plan of action.
(Aino and Paimon are shown eating Nod-Krai Hot Dogs)
Media:vo nkeq001 6 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Okay, so how is theft handled in Nod-Krai? Do we call the police or something?
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 02.ogg Ineffa: Unfortunately, Nod-Krai is a largely autonomous region. There is no unified law enforcement organization.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 03.ogg Ineffa: Which means, "calling the police" is theoretically impossible.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 aino 01.ogg Aino: See? That's why we have to take it into our own hands!
Media:vo nkeq001 6 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Still, turning all of Nod-Krai upside down seems a bit...
Media:vo nkeq001 6 aino 02.ogg Aino: What choice do I have? The thief somehow dodged my whole security system. I don't even know where to start searching.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 04.ogg Ineffa: Analyzing options... If their goal is Mora, the thief will likely head to Nasha Town to search for a buyer. I believe there will be useful clues there.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 aino 03.ogg Aino: Nasha Town, huh... But, there are so many shady people there! Not the kind of people that like answering questions...
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 05.ogg Ineffa: Hm, it is not the best idea for you to interact with adults like that, Aino... I will handle the investigation instead.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 06.ogg Ineffa: Perhaps you can get started on the workshop's order backlog in the meantime. Keeping customers waiting too long could have a negative impact on our reputation.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 aino 04.ogg Aino: About that... Krum-Clank's core was built using a special kind of power... one that incorporates kuuvahki.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 aino 05.ogg Aino: I wanted to test it out, so I took orders that I knew would require Krum-Clank's help to complete.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 aino 06.ogg Aino: But with Krum-Clank missing, there's no way I can get them done... Hmph, curse that rotten thief!
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 07.ogg Ineffa: Hmm... Analyzing other solutions... All foreseeable results are anticipated to have a negative effect on the workshop.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Kuuvahki... Wait, (‍Traveler‍) can use that too!
(Aino jumps beside the Traveler in surprise)
Media:vo nkeq001 6 aino 07.ogg Aino: What? How is that possible?
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 08.ogg Ineffa: Calculations complete. Adequate solution identified.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 09.ogg Ineffa: (‍Traveler‍), I would like to enlist your services to help Aino clear the workshop backlog. You will, of course, be generously compensated for your labor.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: C'mon, no need for that! We're all friends here, right? We'd be more than happy to help! Besides, it might give us a chance to learn more about Nod-Krai!
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 10.ogg Ineffa: Much appreciated! Then, in the meantime, I will take care of the investigation in Nasha Town.
(Aino remains quiet in thought for a moment, then makes up her mind)
Media:vo nkeq001 6 aino 08.ogg Aino: ...Nope! I'm gonna do that, too! With (‍Traveler‍)'s help, I'm confident I can do both!
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 11.ogg Ineffa: Aino?
Media:vo nkeq001 6 aino 09.ogg Aino: I need you here, Ineffa. Someone needs to watch over the workshop and make sure nothing else gets stolen. You're the only one I trust to do that.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 aino 10.ogg Aino: Besides, rescuing our stolen comrade is a job for the boss of this place. And that happens to be me!
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 12.ogg Ineffa: ...Then I will defer to you, boss.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 aino 11.ogg Aino: Alright, Clink Clank Legion! Move out!
(Aino runs off at great speed)
Media:vo nkeq001 6 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Aino sure is determined, huh...
Media:vo nkeq001 6 ineffa 13.ogg Ineffa: Well, she is the boss of the workshop, and a capable one at that. Please have faith in her abilities and... look out for her if she needs help.
Media:vo nkeq001 6 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: No problem! Just leave it to us!
(The event menu opens)
(Talk to Ineffa, optional)
Media:vo dialog nkeq001 ineffa 01.ogg Ineffa: I will watch over things here. I leave Aino to you.

Icon Quest Step Step Description

You and Paimon decide to accompany Aino to Nasha Town to look for clues, but you don't expect this to be easy...
(Approach Nasha Town)
(Paimon looks around and examines a number of shifty-looking individuals from afar)
Media:vo nkeq001 7 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Let's see. Who around here looks like a thief? Huh... A lot of people, actually...
Media:vo nkeq001 7 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: We haven't actually been in Nod-Krai that long, so we don't know much about this place. Where do we even start?
Icon Dialogue Talk White What do you think, Aino?
Media:vo nkeq001 7 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Yeah, you must know this place like the back of your hand! Got any ideas?
Media:vo nkeq001 7 aino 01.ogg Aino: Hmm... We could yell out, "which one of you is the rotten thief who stole from the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop?" Then, we see who starts to sweat, and we grab 'em!
Media:vo nkeq001 7 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Honestly? Terrible idea.
Icon Dialogue Talk White A lot of adults out there do bad things...
Icon Dialogue Talk White And don't even feel guilty about it.
Media:vo nkeq001 7 aino 02.ogg Aino: No way! Sometimes I sneak a dessert when I'm not supposed to, and I always feel super guilty, even if Ineffa doesn't catch on.
Media:vo nkeq001 7 aino 03.ogg Aino: Maybe we should ask Ineffa what to do... But, I really wanna do this on my own...
Media:vo nkeq001 7 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Guess you don't really interact with people outside the workshop, huh...
Media:vo nkeq001 7 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Well, don't worry! Let's just start asking around. We're bound to find some clues that way!
Media:vo nkeq001 7 aino 04.ogg Aino: ...Okay.
(Approach Lyulka)
(The scene shows off the Rossum Workshop as the Traveler, Paimon and Aino approach it)
Media:vo nkeq001 8 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Hmm... If the thief's plan was to sell your bot, maybe we should start by asking the local blacksmiths? After all, blacksmiths need all kinds of raw materials.
Media:vo nkeq001 8 aino 01.ogg Aino: Oh, good point!
Media:vo nkeq001 8 lyulka 01.ogg Lyulka: You're looking for a blacksmith? To be honest, I consider myself more a researcher motivated by personal interest... Wait, Aino? You're here in person? That's a first!
Media:vo nkeq001 8 aino 02.ogg Aino: Something terrible has happened, so I had to come! One of my bots was stolen! Has anyone come by to sell it?
Media:vo nkeq001 8 lyulka 02.ogg Lyulka: Wow, someone had the nerve to steal from your workshop? Let me think...
Media:vo nkeq001 8 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Maybe you should describe what "Krum-Clank 70% Sweet" looks like, Aino. Might help jog her memory.
Media:vo nkeq001 8 lyulka 03.ogg Lyulka: Oh, no need. I know Aino's style. I'd recognize it anywhere.
Media:vo nkeq001 8 lyulka 04.ogg Lyulka: But the only thing that's come my way recently is boring scrap metal. Nothing that looked even remotely like your work...
Media:vo nkeq001 8 lyulka 05.ogg Lyulka: Hmm... Maybe the thief hasn't pawned it off yet.
Media:vo nkeq001 8 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Yeah, maybe... Well, thanks for the help. We'll keep looking.
(Talk to Lyulka, optional)
Media:vo dialog nkeq001 lyulka 01.ogg Lyulka: Does your stolen bot use kuuvahki by any chance? Bots like that have been super popular on the market lately...
(Approach Tarno)
(The scene shows off the outlet of the Voynich Guild)
Media:vo nkeq001 9 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: The Voynich Guild... If we wanna see if a transaction took place, it couldn't hurt to ask around here, right?
(The Traveler nods in agreement, then leads the group to the counter)
(The scene shows off the interior of the Voynich Guild outlet, then Tarno attends to the group)
Media:vo nkeq001 9 tarno 01.ogg Tarno: Welcome to the Voynich Guild! Heavens above, if it isn't the owner of the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop herself. What an honor this is!
Media:vo nkeq001 9 tarno 02.ogg Tarno: And quite a rare one at that... We're always sending orders out to your workshop, but rarely do we have the pleasure of doing business in person!
Media:vo nkeq001 9 tarno 03.ogg Tarno: Are you looking to sell one of your pieces? I'm sure we can land on a price that'll leave you satisfied.
Media:vo nkeq001 9 aino 01.ogg Aino: Sell? One of my bots? You wish!
Media:vo nkeq001 9 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Actually, um, one of Aino's bots was stolen, so we wanted to see if the Guild had any record of a sale or something.
Media:vo nkeq001 9 tarno 04.ogg Tarno: I see. This bot must mean a great deal to you, Miss Aino.
Media:vo nkeq001 9 aino 02.ogg Aino: Duh!
Media:vo nkeq001 9 tarno 05.ogg Tarno: I wish the Voynich Guild could offer you some sort of consolation... But I'm afraid I have no recollection of such a sale.
Media:vo nkeq001 9 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Oh, okay. We'll get out of your hair then. C'mon, let's keep asking around.
(Talk to Tarno, optional)
Media:vo dialog nkeq001 tarno 01.ogg Tarno: Ah, here's a thought. If you could provide me with a detailed description of your lost item, I could keep an eye out for you.
(Approach Kudratov)
(The scene shows off a Fatui Pyro Agent standing faced-away, then the Traveler's group notice him)
Media:vo nkeq001 10 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Wait, is that a Fatui Agent over there? Maybe our thief got mixed up with them! Let's go see if he knows anything!
Media:vo nkeq001 10 aino 01.ogg Aino: But... Ineffa says most Fatui Agents are bad guys.
Icon Dialogue Talk White It's okay. I've got your back.
Media:vo nkeq001 10 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Hello...
(As Paimon leads the group into approaching Kudratov, Kudratov looks back)
Media:vo nkeq001 10 kudratov 01.ogg Kudratov: Stop right there! I don't do business out in the open, so we'll talk like this. Introduce yourselves first. What faction are you affiliated with?
Media:vo nkeq001 10 aino 02.ogg Aino: Faction? I don't belong to a faction. I'm the boss of the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop.
Media:vo nkeq001 10 kudratov 02.ogg Kudratov: Ah, so someone we don't want to mess with... Is there a conflict between us that I don't know about? I've never trespassed on your property, as far as I can recall.
Media:vo nkeq001 10 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Oh, um... We're not here to settle a score or anything. We just want to know if anyone's tried to use a stolen bot to pay off a debt?
Media:vo nkeq001 10 kudratov 03.ogg Kudratov: Of course not. I don't accept stolen property. If the owner comes knocking, it becomes my problem, doesn't it?
Media:vo nkeq001 10 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: True... Guess we'll just have to keep looking.
(Talk to Kudratov, optional)
Media:vo dialog nkeq001 kudratov 01.ogg Kudratov: How am I supposed to collect debts when there are so many people around here that I can't afford to cross...?
(After investigating all three people)
Media:vo nkeq001 11 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Well, it seems like we've exhausted all our options here. Where else should we look?
Media:vo nkeq001 11 aino 01.ogg Aino: Lemme think... Right! There's one more place we haven't searched — that shop!

(Approach Urwa)
(The scene shows off the Nasha Town branch of Dori's shop)
Media:vo nkeq001 11 aino 02.ogg Aino: Ineffa told me about it. "If you can pay, there's a way." That's what it's famous for.
Media:vo nkeq001 11 urwa 01.ogg Urwa: Welcome! Please feel free to peruse our Sumeru specialties. I'm more than happy to assist with any additional requests as well.
Media:vo nkeq001 11 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Wait, isn't this Dori's shop? Okay, this actually isn't a bad idea... You never know what kind of stuff Dori's got stashed away.
Media:vo nkeq001 11 urwa 02.ogg Urwa: Can I help you with something?
Media:vo nkeq001 11 aino 03.ogg Aino: One of my bots was stolen yesterday, and I wanna know if the thief sold it to your shop!
(Urwa thinks for a bit, then answers)
Media:vo nkeq001 11 urwa 03.ogg Urwa: Hmm, is it valuable? We only accept goods that we can use to turn a profit.
Media:vo nkeq001 11 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: That's Dori's business acumen for ya...
Media:vo nkeq001 11 aino 04.ogg Aino: Turn a profit... I don't like to think about my bots that way, but, well... Merchants usually find them pretty valuable.
Media:vo nkeq001 11 urwa 04.ogg Urwa: In that case, let me check...
Media:vo nkeq001 11 urwa 05.ogg Urwa: Ah, apologies. We have no record of any transactions, over the past two days, involving mechanical constructs.
Media:vo nkeq001 11 aino 05.ogg Aino: *sigh* I thought we'd find something here, for sure...
Media:vo nkeq001 11 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: It's okay, Aino! We'll think of something. Maybe we could ask this guy to check again, or...
(The scene reveals that Jahoda was in the background, who then interrupts)
Media:vo nkeq001 11 jahoda 01.ogg Jahoda: Oho, well if it isn't Aino and her two outlander friends. Asking around Nasha Town for intel, are we? You're lucky you didn't get swindled six ways from Sunday.
(If the player has not met Jahoda yet, an introductory note appears on screen)
Jahoda IconJahoda — Windthreading Shadow
The most capable employee of the Curatorium of Secrets. And also a young treasure hunter active in Nod-Krai.
She might normally seem reckless, like a lone boat swaying amidst the wind and waves — and utterly lacking in professional composure. But in moments of crisis, she always manages to advance and overcome, finding safe harbor in the end.
This harsh land has taught her precious lessons in survival: Always imagine the worst possible outcome and hold to one's instinct to escape, but never give up easily on a problem lying before you.
Also, never, ever, ever let go of the rudder in your hand.
Media:vo nkeq001 11 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Jahoda!
Media:vo nkeq001 11 aino 06.ogg Aino: Oh, dumpster-diver. It's you.
Media:vo nkeq001 11 jahoda 02.ogg Jahoda: Okay, now that was just uncalled for. I've got a name, pipsqueak — use it. Now, listen. Word on the street is, someone stole one of your constructs...
Media:vo nkeq001 11 aino 07.ogg Aino: It's not a construct. It's a companion!
Media:vo nkeq001 11 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: How did you know?
Media:vo nkeq001 11 jahoda 03.ogg Jahoda: Your, uh, "intelligence mission" or whatever... Yeah, you weren't exactly being subtle. Word's spread throughout all of Nasha Town, I bet.
Media:vo nkeq001 11 jahoda 04.ogg Jahoda: But you're in luck, Aino, because the best bounty hunter in the land has decided to take up your cause.
(The scene shows off Jahoda making gestures as she speaks)
(Paimon holds back her smile, while the Traveler makes an unamused expression)
Media:vo nkeq001 11 jahoda 05.ogg Jahoda: Smart as a whip, she navigates the major factions with ease, always with her finger on the pulse of all the goings on in Nod-Krai. If you wanna get back what you lost, she's your best bet.
Media:vo nkeq001 11 aino 08.ogg Aino: Uh... Who is?
Media:vo nkeq001 11 jahoda 06.ogg Jahoda: Who!? Ugh, me, of course!
Media:vo nkeq001 11 aino 09.ogg Aino: ...Krum-Clank is doomed!
(Every time Jahoda thinks, she makes a series of humorous expressions)
Media:vo nkeq001 11 jahoda 07.ogg Jahoda: (What was with that reaction? Does she think I'm a liability or something?)
Media:vo nkeq001 11 jahoda 08.ogg Jahoda: Hey, with me on your side, there's still hope! But first, we gotta agree on terms. My services don't come cheap, you know.
(Aino makes a humourously angry expression)
Media:vo nkeq001 11 aino 10.ogg Aino: You're really gonna charge us? I don't charge you when you just swing by and help yourself to my desserts — well, technically Ineffa's desserts, seeing as she's the one who makes them...
Media:vo nkeq001 11 jahoda 09.ogg Jahoda: (Why is she bringing that up all of a sudden? I mean it's true, but still... There goes my chances of making some easy cash. Now, I just look ungrateful...)
Media:vo nkeq001 11 jahoda 10.ogg Jahoda: Well, if you're not gonna pay, then—
Media:vo nkeq001 11 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Jahoda, you really look out for the kid, don't you? Coming over to help like this... It means a lot! Aino really cares about this bot, y'know! Paimon knows you're not the type to abandon a friend in need!
(While Paimon talks to Jahoda, the Traveler puts their hands together to plead)
Media:vo nkeq001 11 jahoda 11.ogg Jahoda: (That's it, I'm done for. There's no backing out now.)
Media:vo nkeq001 11 jahoda 12.ogg Jahoda: ...Heh, you know me. C'mon, this way.

(Approach the marked location)
(The time changes to evening)
(Jahoda and Aino look below at some people standing around suspiciously)
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 01.ogg Jahoda: Alright, we're here.
Media:vo nkeq001 12 aino 01.ogg Aino: I don't see Krum-Clank anywhere! Did you lie to me again, dumpster-diver?
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 02.ogg Jahoda: Have some patience, and hear the professional out. Now, Aino's style is super unique. When one of her creations shows up for sale, you can be sure that people will know who it belongs to.
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 03.ogg Jahoda: You might look like an easy target, but everyone knows you've got me and my boss behind you. Point is, there's not a single person in Nod-Krai who'd steal one of your bots and go sell it on the regular black market.
(Aino shows an alarmed expression when Jahoda implies she's an easy target)
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 04.ogg Jahoda: Not an above-board one, anyway. But an illegal black market like this... That's another matter.
Media:vo nkeq001 12 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Wait, but... aren't all black markets illegal?
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 05.ogg Jahoda: Maybe, but that doesn't mean there aren't any rules. My boss sets 'em, and there are people who follow them and people who don't. And that market over there? Yeah, that's where the rule-breakers go to make deals.
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 06.ogg Jahoda: And based on the intel I have, this market deals almost exclusively in mechanical constructs. Ring any bells?
Media:vo nkeq001 12 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: You're a genius, Jahoda! But, um... There's no one here...
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 07.ogg Jahoda: The key to a market like this is operating in secret. There's no chance it runs every day. I asked around my circle, and it seems like our next chance to check it out is in two days' time.
Media:vo nkeq001 12 aino 02.ogg Aino: We have to wait two days?
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 08.ogg Jahoda: Eh, that's nothin'. Even if your bot's on its last legs, two days ain't gonna change much.
Media:vo nkeq001 12 aino 03.ogg Aino: Now, you listen up! Krum-Clank belongs to my workshop! I'm the boss, and no bot of mine is getting hurt on my watch!
(Aino appears determined and angry, while Jahoda has a humorously shocked expression)
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 09.ogg Jahoda: (Sheesh, this kid's got a temper. Maybe I should apologize? No, wait. I'm not about to be intimidated by some little squirt...)
(Aino watches the suspicious people below, then becomes teary-eyed)
Media:vo nkeq001 12 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Whoa, where did that come from?
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 10.ogg Jahoda: It's alright. I mean, it's understandable...
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 11.ogg Jahoda: The kid built up the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop all on her own, and she has more interactions with robots than people most days.
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 12.ogg Jahoda: I'm sure, for her, these bots are everything.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Sitting around for two days doing nothing...
Icon Dialogue Talk White Is going to be really hard for her.
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 13.ogg Jahoda: Yeah, I know that. But, that's the only lead I can give you right now.
(Aino wipes her tears away)
Media:vo nkeq001 12 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: ...Aino, Jahoda's just trying to help. You know that, right? At least think about it.
Media:vo nkeq001 12 aino 04.ogg Aino: ...Fine. If we have to wait, then... we'll wait. Get it together, Aino — you're the boss. You need to keep your cool.
Media:vo nkeq001 12 jahoda 14.ogg Jahoda: Well, that took some convincing... Alright, then. Let's meet here in two days.
