Profile

Grumpy is a Level 1 researcher at the Department of Implement Arts. She's a new researcher aboard the Herta Space Station with Wen Shiling as her tutor. Wen Shiling tasked her to test a battle simulation software called Stellar Flare and write a report about it in one week. She invites the Trailblazer to try Stellar Flare so that she can write a report about it.

Stellar Flare

(Talk to Grumpy)
Grumpy: Are you still in the space station, (Trailblazer)?
Grumpy: Thanks to the test data from you, I can finally submit my report to Miss Shiling... You might not realize this, but it's really important to me... I don't want to get kicked out of the Department of Implement Arts before my probation ends.
Grumpy: Oh yeah, that's right — there's more than one stage in Stellar Flare, and each stage has three difficulty levels. If you want, you can keep playing it.
Grumpy: I saved the installation package onto your mobile device — or you can just keep using this testing terminal next to me. Hope you have lots of fun playing...
Icon Dialogue Arrow I beat it on the Supergiant Star difficulty.
Grumpy: ...Really? I can't even clear it on the Dwarf Star difficulty... I guess the differences in skill between people is even bigger than the drop of the Grand Chasm on the planet of Talia...
Grumpy: Thank you, (Trailblazer). Now I've got even more data for my report.
Grumpy: Here are some small rewards... Please, take it.
(Obtain Adventure Log Adventure Log ×1)
Icon Dialogue Arrow I clocked Stellar Flare.
Grumpy: ...Clocked it? You mean... You finished all the stages on all the difficulties?
Grumpy: That's... utterly incredible, (Trailblazer)! With your data, I'll definitely be able to submit a report that exceeds expectations. This'll make Miss Shiling sit up and take notice!
Grumpy: Let me take a look... Here's a few small things... Just a small token of thanks. Go ahead, take it!
(Obtain Condensed Aether Condensed Aether ×1)
Icon Dialogue Exit Don't worry too much.
Grumpy: Thanks for caring... The rumor circulating in the space station is true! You're a brave and caring person.
Grumpy: I'm so glad I get to meet you, I feel my passion for my work returning!
