Dialogue
- (Attempt to break the barrel)
- Guardian of Civilization: Hey, you over there!
- Guardian of Civilization: That was an uncivilized action! Come, we're going to hand you in!
...And who are you?
- Guardian of Civilization: Can you not see this badge? I am the IPC vanguard of civilization, the guardian of the people of this land!
- ...This old trick again?
- Guardian of Civilization: Oh? So you're a repeat offender... I will show you how severe a crime disrupting civilization truly is!
- Guardian of Civilization: This is the venue for the Interastral Tournament Festival. I would not allow you to even kick a billboard, let alone smash a vessel!
- Guardian of Civilization: Your actions have destroyed the order of the venue and hindered the progress of the event, while also generating an extremely negative influence on the people's lives!
- Guardian of Civilization: Think about it. How much effort do you think it takes for the volunteers to move these vessels into the avenue every day? How much time will they spend cleaning up the mess you've made...
- Guardian of Civilization: In the name of civilization and the IPC, I will reprimand you!
- Is it too late to apologize?
- Guardian of Civilization: Apologize? If apologies served a purpose, do you think we'd have lawyers? You must pay for your uncivilized actions!
- I'll hit what I want. You can't stop me!
- Guardian of Civilization: You're a hooligan! Looks like I'll have to teach a real good lesson today... I hope you're ready for prison!
- (Begin battle against
Senior Staff: Team Leader ×1)
- I... I want to roll a Persuasion check.
- Guardian of Civilization: What persuasion? You think this is something that can be solved by just wagging our tongues?
- Guardian of Civilization: You have a choice. You will either pay a fine that will go towards local construction efforts, or you will be locked up and confined as an example of negative behavior for others to learn from.
- Alright, I'll pay.
- Guardian of Civilization: Are you sure? This money is worth two months of my wages. Are you sure you want to donate it to the local area?
- Of course, I'm sure.
- Guardian of Civilization: Ahem... Well, actually, as an IPC worker, I do not actually have the right to fine you...
- Guardian of Civilization: Given your sincere attitude, I will let you off this time. However, if I catch you again, I'll make sure I fix you up properly!
- Guardian of Civilization: Also, if you really want to make a contribution to the local construction effort, why don't you go and check out the Pillars of Creation? Make sure you wear a safety helmet!

- (Obtain
Shield ×20 and 
Simple Protective Gear ×1)
- I've changed my mind, I'll fight you.
- Guardian of Civilization: Ha-ha! I knew that law-abiding attitude of yours was all fake! Looks like I'll have to teach you a real good lesson today!
- (Begin battle against Senior Staff: Team Leader ×1)
- This is robbery. I'm not paying!
- Guardian of Civilization: You won't listen to reason and you won't pay a fine... Looks like I'll have to teach you a real good lesson today!
- (Begin battle against Senior Staff: Team Leader ×1)
- (After the battle)
- Guardian of Civilization: Dang it... If I'd only worked harder at mecha battle training...
- Guardian of Civilization: You have such great power... Why would you use it to destroy order? Why would you not make a contribution to a good cause?
- The powerful can do whatever they want.
- Guardian of Civilization: Truly words of "Destruction"... I had no idea you were so twisted inside...
- This is a prerequisite for doing good.
- Guardian of Civilization: I don't understand your logic at all...
- You cannot even imagine the good things that I have done.
- Guardian of Civilization: N — No evil act is insignificant, just as all kind acts are worthwhile!
- Guardian of Civilization: Don't be so pleased with yourself! You will pay the price one day!
- Guardian of Civilization: I am going to apply to return to headquarters and undertake high-level combat studies... When I return, I will be even stronger!
- Guardian of Civilization: You just wait, I will protect the civilization of this planet!
