Final Long-Range Sightlines/Story

Sightlines and Camera Tricks

Main article: Sightlines and Camera Tricks

Quest Description

A special training ground has been set up in the southern section of Lumidouce Harbor in Fontaine...

(Approach Chasca, Chevreuse and Turenna)

Chevreuse: ...Terminal ballistics are impeccable, and the dispersion is close to the ideal.

Chevreuse: According to our assessment models here at the Maison Gardiennage's weapons bureau, your weapon is very much a "cannon."

Chevreuse: It's just a shame that we'd need at least two teams' worth of manpower to deploy your "musket" in the field. It's too complicated to use...

Chasca: Thank you for the approval, Officer Chevreuse. Actually, I don't think the high barrier to entry's a bad thing. Before I had the "Soulsniper: Ritual Staff" custom-made by Xilonen, we agreed that...

Chasca: "The stronger the weapon, the stricter its usage standards should be."

Chasca: Apart from their difficulty of use, I've even considered placing a "moral cognition-based lock" on such weapons.

Chasca: That way, we can ensure they are wielded by the right people, preventing any immense damage resulting from criminal theft.

Turenna: That's a fair concern, Officer Chasca. Weapon theft that leads to committed crimes is not uncommon here in Fontaine.

(The Traveler and Paimon approach the group)

Paimon: Wow, so many old friends!

Paimon: Fontaine's Maison Gardiennage, Natlan's "Flower-Feather Clan"... and a Knight of Favonius? What's going on with this little gathering of yours?

Reconvening the multilateral exchange?

Another joint wargame?

Chevreuse: Bullseye. You caught on to the situation immediately, (‍‍).

Chevreuse: Some time back, the Special Patrol sent Turenna to Liyue to take part in a joint wargame. That wargame became the catalyst for ever more frequent exchanges between the armed forces of various nations.

Chevreuse: This time around, it's the routine "Ballistic Wargame" between Fontaine and Mondstadt — aimed at sharpening combatants' battlefield-planning capabilities on all sides.

Turenna: And this time, thanks to our friends in the Knights of Favonius putting in a good word, the warriors of Natlan's "Flower-Feather Clan" have joined the wargame as well.

Turenna: The Flower-Feather Clan warriors are skilled at firing while in flight — they've opened the doors to a whole new world for us!

Paimon: Hmm... The Knights must have gotten to know the Natlanese warriors during their expedition, then? Paimon should've thought of that sooner!

Paimon: But what's a "Ballistic Wargame," really? Paimon understands every word individually, but put them together and it gets a little confusing...

Doesn't shooting just mean firing the gun and being done with it?

Are bullets allowed in wargames too?

Chasca: Aha, if everyone had unlimited ammunition, you'd just hold down the trigger, and most enemies would be no problem at all.

Chasca: But combat is a long-drawn-out process. A shooter can only carry so much ammunition, so every shot needs to land — and to land strategically.

Chasca: So the Knights of Favonius have developed a new type of grenade to help shooters sharpen their understanding. The principle behind it is a little complicated, though...

Chevreuse: As for the specifics, I'll let our friend from the Knights of Favonius walk you through it.

(Hedwig runs over to the group)

Hedwig: Coming, coming — apologies! I was buried in report-organizing and hadn't even noticed the Honorary Knight and (‍‍/‍‍) little white companion. My greetings to you both!

Hedwig: I'm Hedwig, member of the Knights of Favonius's General Affairs Company. I'm in charge of recording proceedings for this wargame, and coordinating between the gunsmiths and our other allies...

Hedwig: Speaking of which — the device for this round actually has a connection to you two. Do you remember the strange Samachurl statue that once appeared in Dadaupa Gorge?

Vaguely. Long time ago, that.

Don't remember. Doesn't matter, does it?

Paimon: Even Paimon's a bit fuzzy on it. Hedwig, why don't you give us the short version?

Hedwig: Right then. I'll skip past the old legends and the scattered intel and cut to it —

Hedwig: According to the Investigation Company's findings, that statue was the work of an ancient Samachurl. The "Ladler of Broth" Churldric had taken an unused Domain and reshaped it into a place to drill his battle formations.

Hedwig: The Honorary Knight defeated one of Churldric's lingering shadows back then, which caused the Domain to collapse — and the "Eyes of Upano" that oversaw the formations scattered out into the open.

Hedwig: Once the Support Company had a sample in hand, they spent the better part of a year carefully disassembling and analyzing it. Eventually they got the technology figured out, combined it with the design principles of Liyue's overhead surveillance devices...

Hedwig: ...And produced a kind of visualizing "observation grenade" — meant for long-range reconnaissance, so a shooter can gather information from a position of safety.

Paimon: What a roundabout journey... Paimon never imagined that little fellow we wrapped up without much fanfare would leave behind such a mysterious treasure!

Chevreuse: The upshot is, in a wargame setting, the "observation grenade" lets shooters see through the eyes of the round in flight — deepening their grasp of trajectory and obstacles...

Chevreuse: ...So they can practice shooting strategies geared toward different scenarios. It works on quite a few clever little angles!

Chasca: As for us Flower-Feather Clan members, our Saurian-riders often have difficulty determining the effects of shots we make while riding our Qucusaurs. We are up in the sky, after all, with our targets being far away...

Chasca: These observation grenades can thus help us conduct battlefield damage assessments... That's a term I learned from the Special Patrol, by the by — it's a very concise concept.

Sounds pretty neat.

Glad to be of help.

Hedwig: At present, the people involved in the wargame have completed everything our two leaders, Chasca and Chevreuse, have designated for them.

Hedwig: All that's left is to complete our wargame with an expanded sample.

Hedwig: Since you're here, Honorary Knight, would you like to try it out?

Turenna: By all means!

Turenna: I did notice during the Fontinalia Film Festival that you're quite a crack shot, and an inspired one, too.

Chevreuse: That's perfect.

Chevreuse: I'm personally interested to see how much your marksmanship's improved over the years, (‍‍).

Chevreuse: And from the perspective of the wargame, your lack of familiarity with the observation grenades means that you can form an excellent control group for us.

Paimon: Heh. Y'know, (‍‍)... It does feel like this grenade thing has real history with us.

Paimon: Might as well try its effects for ourselves, eh? It should be pretty fun!

Guess I'll have to step up and take this seriously.

A bit of marksmanship practice is good for me too.

Paimon: Totally! An extra skill's an extra skill, right? Never know if we'll run into some sorta... bad guy who can only be taken out with muskets or something!

Hedwig: Great! In that case, I'll prepare the venue and notify all those we have playing as targets!

Hedwig: The rules are simple: Make as few "adjustments" as possible while defeating your targets efficiently...

Chevreuse: I should first say that this drill was made to be tough. Even the Special Patrol's previous marksmanship instructor, Enghiene, was barely able to pass...

Chevreuse: But I suspect you'll do just fine.

Chasca: Of course, there's no need to feel pressured. Sometimes, shooting is not just about technique, but also about inspiration that arrives as light as feathers, and a little luck to send it off on the wind.

Chasca: Don't think of this as a test, but more as a relaxing game. Perhaps you'll gain something unexpected from all this, hmm?

Flower, Feathers, and Bullets

Quest Description

As the Ballistic Deduction drill nears its end, Chevreuse and Chasca seem to have reached some sort of consensus...

(Approach Chasca, Chevreuse and Hedwig)

(The Traveler, Paimon, Chasca, Chevreuse and Hedwig are standing in a circle formation)

Chasca: So... we have a deal?

Chevreuse: We have a deal.

Paimon: Deal? What deal? Did Paimon miss something important?

Chasca: The formal phrasing would be: confirming the signature on a memorandum —

Chevreuse: The "Joint Training Memorandum on Improving Shooter Effectiveness."

Chevreuse: On reflection, recruiting Miss Chasca to the Special Patrol would mean an incalculable loss of talent for her homeland of Natlan — not the wisest move.

Chasca: And the Special Patrol's clockwork-stable functioning would be unimaginable without Captain Chevreuse's daily command and coordination. Without her, Fontaine would run into no shortage of trouble.

Chevreuse: To achieve our objective...

Chasca: ...We need an unprecedented form of cooperation.

Paimon: What is this astonishing telepathy going on...

The two experts' minds have lined up.

They've found a plan that works for both of them.

Chasca: In short, after consulting with Captain Chevreuse, we've decided to start a "long-term study exchange of representatives" within three months.

Chasca: This plan can strengthen cooperation between the Special Patrol, the Flower-Feather Clan, and the Knights of Favonius — while keeping the burden as low as possible.

Paimon: ...In the literal sense of those words?

Paimon: You'll send people back and forth — Flower-Feather Clan warriors stay in Fontaine for a stretch, and Special Patrol fighters head off to Natlan?

Chevreuse: Exactly. Though in practice, it's not as simple as just "letting people from each side go live in the other country."

Chasca: The selection of the representatives, the lodging, the daily curriculum, the simulation training and live drill schedules, the budget arrangements... every detail needs systematic planning.

Chevreuse: And we'll be focused on the weak spots — addressing each with its own specific remedy. For instance, the Natlanese warriors don't pay much attention to formation theory, and the Fontainian shooters have almost no live experience with movement-against-movement marksmanship...

Chevreuse: ...So we'll have the Natlanese warriors work in disciplined squad-level units; and we'll have the Qucusaurs grab the Special Patrol shooters by the shoulders, fly them low, and have them shoot at intercepting targets.

Paimon: That sounds way too strict!

If you can actually pull it off, the results would be tremendous.

Targeted training of weak points is the most effective method, after all.

Chevreuse: Many of the planned courses also rely on excellent equipment from our Mondstadt allies. Representatives from the Knights of Favonius are essential, and any results from the program should be shared with them.

Hedwig: Ahem! Captain Chevreuse, that's most thoughtful of you. Once again, our thanks for your generous offer!

Hedwig: In this drill, the observation grenades and the suite of equipment all performed normally. We'll continue regular deliveries per the existing procurement contract.

Hedwig: As for sending representatives for study, please let me convey this back to our headquarters, so that the officers can issue a formal reply.

Chevreuse: I'll provide you with the formal written documentation. I'll be waiting for good news from you.

Chasca: And to close — the topic should return to our "Ballistic Wargame."

Chasca: Captain Chevreuse is uncommonly pleased with this round's results, after all.

(Chasca and Chevreuse both smile at the Traveler)

Chevreuse: Yes. With your remarkable control-group performance to compare against, (‍‍), our final piece of the puzzle is in place.

Chevreuse: This drill has produced a wealth of ballistic-planning thinking samples, covering shooters of every skill level —

Chevreuse: — Enough to substantially improve the original musket marksmanship textbooks, and even the instructor manuals for shooter training. Efficiency could be raised severalfold.

Feel free to call me in for the next wargame.

I'd be glad to take part in another exercise like this one.

Chasca: That's just what I was waiting to hear.

Chasca: Rest assured — I'll send you a letter the moment the time comes!

Chevreuse: With the marksmanship talent you're showing, you ought to be sitting on the test-setter's side of the table next time.

Paimon: Haha! Helping our friends in Mondstadt, Fontaine, and Natlan all get stronger is the best feeling there is!

Paimon: If one day Paimon hears that the books we helped put together produced an amazing warrior, and that warrior drove off the monsters with a few quick shots, keeping everybody safe...

Paimon: ...That feeling would be just as good as scaring the bad guys off ourselves. Proud and grounded all at once!

Open-World Dialogue

Chasca

Dialogue Set #1

Available after completing Sightlines and Camera Tricks, but before completing Flower, Feathers, and Bullets.

Chasca: We meet again at last, (‍‍). How have things been with you lately?

Thanks for asking! How's it been for you in Fontaine?

Chasca: Honestly? Some good and some bad. Let's get the bad out of the way first...

Chasca: As I was crossing some open water on my Soulsniper, I drifted a bit too close to the shooting range. The Special Patrol mistook me for an airborne target and let off two volleys in my direction...

Chasca: Luckily, I was moving fast enough that they couldn't lead the shots properly. Not a single round connected, and Captain Chevreuse arrived in time to call a halt to things.

Talk about rough luck...

As long as there were no misunderstandings or friction...

Chasca: Well, only good things followed after that...

Chasca: I took a few easy turns through the city, taking my time to admire all the exquisite man-made architecture, the elaborate machines and ornaments, and the beautifully intricate clothes.

Chasca: I'd been a little worried beforehand. The Court of Fontaine is a fortress walled in by stone — I wondered whether the limited sightlines might feel oppressive.

Chasca: As it turned out, the experience was just the opposite of life in the Flower-Feather Clan. Being surrounded by towering buildings gave me, somehow, a strange and pleasant sense of safety.

Chasca: Once the wargame's over, I'd like to take a couple more turns through the city.

First, what's it been like working with the Special Patrol?

Chasca: Well above expectations — and not just by a little bit.

Chasca: Their discipline is remarkable. Although I can already imagine some of the tribal warriors finding them too rigid, too tied up by rules to fight freely...

Chasca: ...But after training new recruits whose baseline skills were all over the map, I gradually came to understand.

Chasca: When individuals don't have overwhelming personal strength, cooperation and discipline are the last guarantee of stable combat power.

Chasca: So I've had a thought — though it might not be one I can act on—

Chasca: Bringing Captain Chevreuse back to Natlan with me, and getting her to throw in with the Flower-Feather Clan's warriors.

Chasca: The Mora question would be tricky, naturally. Fontaine's wages and cost-of-living are both on the higher end... but I'd find a way to put together an offer she'd be happy with — beyond just Mora.

You think the Special Patrol is stronger than the Saurian-riders?

I figured you'd consider the warriors stronger.

Chasca: No, this isn't about who's stronger or weaker. The point is to make up for what we lack with what they have.

Chasca: I'm proud of the Flower-Feather Clan's warriors, and I've never doubted the Saurian-riders' ability to take down any monster.

Chasca: But it's precisely because I know and trust them that I'm clear on our weak spots. In every battle, we inevitably take a certain amount of casualties.

Chasca: In the past, we've held together as tribes — each warrior doing their part in battle, our coordination looking decent enough on the surface.

Chasca: But when it comes to bringing together the processes of "responding to losses," "training efficiently," and "replenishing combat strength" — making warrior teams more resilient...

Chasca: ...Our friends in Fontaine clearly have a wealth of experience worth studying in depth, so we can grow stronger ourselves.

I think I see what you mean...

Not quite following — please go on...

Chasca: Managing teams, designing training programs, giving precise commands... in these areas, Captain Chevreuse must be one of Fontaine's foremost experts, no?

Chasca: Her professional skills, to a warrior pursuing collective strength, are like... a slab of meat sizzling on the open coals to a starving soul.

(‍Traveler‍): She really is essential to Fontaine.

(‍Traveler‍): You could absolutely call her one of its key figures.

Chasca: Mm... a shame, then. Fontaine certainly won't let her go.

Chasca: Poaching from an allied force isn't exactly something a proper warrior of the tribe should be doing.

Chasca: Just take it as a not-so-appropriate joke on my part.

All good — I'll catch up with you again later.

Chasca: Same as ever, then. Always run off your feet.

Dialogue Set #2

Available after completing Flower, Feathers, and Bullets.

(Chasca thinks out loud)

Chasca: As for the candidates we'll send to Fontaine for the long-term exchange...

Chasca: My top picks are Zhunan and Inkanak. The two of them coming together should work out quite well.

Chevreuse

Available after completing Sightlines and Camera Tricks, but before completing Flower, Feathers, and Bullets.

Chevreuse: How's it going, (‍‍)? Making every shot count?

Sort of, though I don't exactly use guns.

Chevreuse: Another skill is another choice you can make. Who knows? You might find yourself in a future situation where your usual combat skills are restricted.

Chevreuse: When that time comes, the option of using a musket at range will be open to you.

Makes sense.

Mind if I ask you for advice more often, then?

Chevreuse: Hardly. There's no need to call it "advice." We'd just be sharing our experiences.

Chevreuse: Turenna described your previous shooting form to me. From where I'm standing, you could well have the potential to become the best shot in Teyvat and even set new long-range records.

Chevreuse: Of course, live combat situations, urban settings, and target-shooting challenges have their own unique features.

Chevreuse: Use the musket in your hands a few more times, and I'm sure you'll uncover its secrets.

How are we getting on with our Natlanese friends, by the by?

Chevreuse: Oh? Well then, permit me to be frank.

Chevreuse: I suspect that if we wanted to recruit Miss Chasca, her base annual salary would come up to 60 million Mora.

Sorry, how much?

Are my ears failing me?

Chevreuse: Nope. That's the right figure.

Chevreuse: From the Maison Gardiennage's experience, building a piece of weaponry capable of matching her mobility and firepower would be...

Chevreuse: ...Likely hundreds of billions of Mora in budget, several thousand engineers spread across multiple institutions, and over a decade of technical breakthroughs, R&D, and testing — and it still might not succeed.

Chevreuse: It's not at all hyperbole to call her and her Soulsniper a "Mora vault that flies."

Chevreuse: When I watch her engaging targets, I find myself automatically converting each shot she takes into the cost of an equivalent musket round and cannon round...

Chevreuse: From a cost-effectiveness standpoint, putting her on payroll at the salary we'd offer would be a steal. The figures are favorable enough to leave even the most cynical merchant in awe.

This seems like it's gone well beyond a question of Mora...

She's got her duties at the Flower-Feather Clan, you know.

Chevreuse: I understand. She's also a holder of a Natlanese ancient name — that makes her one of the most important figures across all of Natlan.

Chevreuse: Which is why I can really only express this wish to you.

Chevreuse: I'll think of other approaches — borrowing Miss Chasca's strength wherever possible, so the Special Patrol's capabilities can develop in a more well-rounded direction.

Got any topics that aren't about work?

Chevreuse: Good question.

Chevreuse: I think Miss Chasca would be well-suited to starring in a crime film — and absolutely in the leading role...

Chevreuse: Hmm, a paranormal adventure with a thriller edge to it would also be fitting. Investigating ruins, unearthing ancient powers, working around mysterious factions...

Chevreuse: Next time I see Director Xavier, I'll mention the idea to him in passing.

Let me go look around some more.

Chevreuse: Mm. Don't be impatient. Feel out the workings of the musket carefully — observe the tracer trajectories and the hit-confirmation signals... that flash of inspiration will find you sooner or later.

Enghiene and Turenna

Available after completing Sightlines and Camera Tricks, but before completing Flower, Feathers, and Bullets.

Turenna: Really not going to play another round, Instructor?

Enghiene: I've already got my best score on the board. You saw — I'm getting a bit too old for this. Up against this fancy new wargame, the most I can do is scrape by with a passing grade...

Turenna: But the passing grade is sixty percent of Captain Chevreuse's score! Outside of you, everybody else flunked, so where's the "too old" coming from...

(Keep listening...)

Turenna: If you don't shoot now, I'll never see you holding a musket again.

Turenna: I didn't even feel it coming on. How did the time go by so quickly...

Turenna: *sob*... *sniff*...

Enghiene: Eh? What're you crying for, kiddo?

Enghiene: I'm just retiring. It's not like we'll never see each other again!

Enghiene: You want to see me, easy enough — pick a place, treat me to dinner once a week.

Turenna: Yes, yes, yes — not just buttered Tidalga, you can pick the Hotel Debord for all I care!

Turenna: But... maybe not every week... how about once a month?

Enghiene: Whatever. Whatever you arrange, I can take.

Enghiene: But seriously, though... from now on, all the new recruits we've got are yours.

Enghiene: Keep a good eye on Marine and Roxane — make sure they don't lose themselves in the work.

Enghiene: And don't let the recruits come up short of where you were back in the day. The moment any of them slacks off, give 'em a swift kick in the rear!

Turenna: I will! A swift kick in the rear!

Enghiene: Good. My sisters are calling me down to Natlan for a vacation. I might be out of Fontaine for a couple of months...

Enghiene: And when I'm back from vacation, I'll be coming to inspect your results!

Turenna: I won't let you down, Instructor!

(Maybe leave them to chat alone...)

Chevereuse and Turenna

Available after completing Flower, Feathers, and Bullets.

Turenna: Captain... Were you serious about what you just said?

(Keep listening for a bit...)

(Turenna flinches): Turenna: I'll have to be carried through the air by a Qucusaurus, too?; Chevreuse: That's right.; Turenna: And I'll have to practice handling the musket up there, shooting at ground targets at high speed?; Chevreuse: That's right.; Turenna: Then... is there a raise involved?; Chevreuse: There is.; Turenna: I'm in!; Turenna: Honestly, even without the raise, I'd be in. Money's never the issue — the dignity of a Special Patrol officer is.; Turenna: If the Flower-Feather Clan's Saurian-riders can do it, I'm not about to admit defeat!; Chevreuse: Honestly, I knew you'd accept even without the raise — but I don't want to short-change anyone on the team. So beyond the raise, there'll be a series of supplementary insurance arrangements and stipends as well.; Chevreuse: To make sure you've got the stamina to handle harsher combat conditions, I'll be adding targeted physical conditioning training as well.; Chevreuse: Let's start with a 100,000-pace weighted run.; Turenna: I... I'll run. I'll run my best.; Turenna: Dangling in midair really does take it out of you, doesn't it? So for this 100,000-pace run, I'll carry fifty units of weight?; Chevreuse: ...I was going to say thirty-five units.; Chevreuse: But since you're volunteering fifty, then Letellier can run the same standard. We'll see whether the others can take it after that.

(Maybe I shouldn't listen to any more of this...)

Hedwig

Available after completing Sightlines and Camera Tricks, but before completing Flower, Feathers, and Bullets.

Hedwig: Frankly, I never expected the Honorary Knight to come and join this wargame as well. The setup here is quite the production...

Friend, what other work do you do?

Hedwig: ..."Designated scapegoat"...; Hedwig: Joking, joking! Truth is, it's all classic clerical work. Whatever comes up, I'm the one running negotiations between the Knights, the Palais Mermonia, and the Natlanese warriors.; Hedwig: It cuts down on the friction cost of having too many people going back and forth.; Hedwig: Procedural matters during cooperation also fall to me to handle. And I manage the overall travel-and-expenses budget for the exchange team...; That sounds rough.; Best of luck to you, then.; Hedwig: Well, here we are meeting, aren't we? And then there's our legendary marksman, Captain Chevreuse of the Special Patrol — known to put rounds within a one-arc-minute dispersion at a thousand paces...; Hedwig: And then there's the not-evaluable-by-normal-standards Saurian-rider Chasca — her marksmanship is so absurdly precise it's like she's got stabilizer mechanisms built into her hands.
(Hedwig laughs): Hedwig: No matter how messy or exhausting the work gets, I'm coming out way ahead. They could pay me a negative salary, and it'd still be worth it!; Hedwig: Plus, I've been finding the musket suits me rather well. After my injury, I'd given up hope of fighting with a sword again...; Hedwig: As it turned out, in the wargame I borrowed Koch's musket and had a few goes at the scenarios — the results were pretty respectable. Maybe I'll be able to return to the front lines with this weapon someday!; The crowd doesn't seem all that big, though?; Hedwig: By the standards of the early technical exchange meetings, this is a serious turnout! It's a mixed deployment from the Ranged, Support, and General Affairs Companies!; Hedwig: And if our good Vice Captain of the Fifth Company hadn't begged off with some peculiar excuse, the Knights' presence alone would be enough to wipe out a sizable monster outfit.; Hedwig: To say nothing of the Fontaine Captain and the Natlanese Saurian-riders we've got here as well!

Don't let me keep you. I'll be off.

(Hedwig laughs): Hedwig: You're the busy one — being so polite to me, I'm flattered!

Koch

Available after completing Sightlines and Camera Tricks, but before completing Flower, Feathers, and Bullets.

Koch: Honorary Knight! Koch the gunsmith greets you. May your range estimates be precise, and your ballistics ideal.

And you are...

Koch: I'm a member of the Support Company, normally stationed at Dornman Port. This time I've been sent over to maintain the equipment used in the wargame.

Koch: Before muskets were issued in bulk, I worked quite a bit with the Cavalry Company's bow and crossbow shooters in addition to the Ranged Company — so you could call me an old friend of Horken and Hedwig...

Koch: And this time, the moment word came down about the joint wargame, Hedwig went and named me directly to lead the gunsmith team.

Koch: Suits me just fine — gives me a chance to really get a feel for the new Fontainian muskets!

About the other workings of the "observation grenade"...

Koch: Let me guess — you're going to ask: How does it change direction?

Koch: Ha! The principle isn't actually that complicated. The grenade body uses a low-energy smokeless powder, so its speed isn't anything dramatic.

Koch: Pair that with the adhesive devices around the observation mechanism, and on impact it sticks to the target — then the side-mounted tracer at the rear ignites, sending out a hit-confirmation signal.

Koch: The remaining space in the warhead is packed with directional charges. Once it's been remotely guided to point at the next target, igniting those propellants sends it flying onward.

Koch: And so, in a wargame, the "observation grenade" can perform a limited number of redirections.

Koch: Which fits the wargame's theme perfectly — "with a finite number of shots, achieve the most flawless trajectory."

I'll come back to chat with you in a bit.

Koch: Understood. I'm here on standby anytime.

Hedwig and Koch

Available after completing Flower, Feathers, and Bullets.

Koch: Almost done for the day... fancy a couple of drinks at The Rusty Rudder over there?

Hedwig: Drinks!? You'd be paying out of your own pocket, then? I'm not approving a single Mora for it.

Koch: All good — we'll cover it ourselves, and bring a few good bottles back for Horken, Ursula, and Gunther! Oh, and Captain Kaeya and the Grand Master too!

Hedwig: Count me out, regardless. I've got to organize the records from this wargame properly, and the Ranged Company has to leave someone behind to help me!

Hedwig: And there's the Special Patrol's written documentation for the Grand Master, the study-exchange plan... we've gone and made another fine start to something without even meaning to!
