 Talk to Lucia and Manato as they inspect the mech

---

After the battle, a peculiar piece of mechanical wreckage was recovered from the battlefield. Everyone examined it closely, hoping to uncover some clues.

Blazewood

(Idle )

Komano Manato: Huh? Is this TOPS machinery?

Lucia: Proxy, get over here! I found something strange after the combat.

Andron: Do all Ethereals look this fancy nowadays?

Big Daddy: You dummy, that's clearly an autonomous mech...

---

(Talk to Yidhari)

Komano Manato: Judging by the specs, this looks like the kind of gear only big corporations could get their hands on. Oh, Proxy, you're here — these are the mechanical scraps I just gathered from the battlefield.

Looking at the markings... is this TOPS machinery?

Lucia: A self-operating machine suddenly appearing among a pile of Ethereal remains, with shipping receipts from Port Elpis to Darkwater Research Center stuck on it... Something fishy's definitely going on here.

Lucia: Look, it's got some standard interface ports. Proxy, why don't you try hacking into it? Maybe the clues we're after are stored inside its system.

I'll give it a try...

TOPS Bot: Access request detected. Visitor verification protocol initiated.

TOPS Bot: Initiate facial recognition?

Facial recognition? Sure, let's give it a try.

TOPS Bot: At your service, Legendary Proxy Phaethon. Auto-control protocol engaged. I will follow your commands and answer your questions.

Komano Manato: Wait, how did it switch to auto-control? And what's with this "At your service, Legendary Proxy Phaethon" stuff?

Lucia: Did you also do something weird that left a strange impression on Yidhari, just like me?

Yidhari: Hmm... from what I recall, Proxies are supposed to be top-notch at hacking. So, for Phaethon to be a Legendary Proxy means the very best of the best.

Uh, that's a pretty big misunderstanding

I'd better keep searching the data.

Lucia: Well? Find anything useful? Maybe try searching for that "Darkwater Research Center" Yidhari mentioned.

Search for keywords "Darkwater Research Center."

TOPS Bot: Searching keywords: "Darkwater Research Center"...

TOPS Bot: Darkwater Research Center. TOPS subsidiary research facility. Location: Classified. Research content: Classified. Project lead: Classified.

Komano Manato: Forget it, this bot's useless. Let's just smash it.

Yidhari: How about trying a search for my parents? Use the surname Murphy.

Search for personnel with the surname "Murphy."

TOPS Bot: 6 related entries found, including research records on test subject Yidhari by Wayland Murphy and Angel Murphy...

Yidhari: Yes, those are my parents' names! Open it!

TOPS Bot: Access denied. Device permissions insufficient. Recommendation: Access through the high-priority terminal located 860 meters ahead to obtain clearance.

Yidhari: Hold up, Proxy, don't tell me it's talking about that large one up ahead...

Lucia: The one loaded with heavy firepower...

Komano Manato: With insanely strong arms...

TOPS Bot: Device name: Autonomous Tactical Unit - Typhon Slugger...

To defeat Typhon and gain its authority, Lucia and Yidhari seeks out Big Daddy, hoping he could lend them a hand.

 Talk to Big Daddy about how to defeat Typhon

---

To take down Typhon and get access to Yidhari's parents' records, Big Daddy offered to open the way and cover you. Go talk to him.

Blazewood

(Idle)

Lucia: According to the location data from the TOPS device, Typhon should be nearby.

Komano Manato: But how are we gonna take down something this massive?

(Talk to Big Daddy)

Big Daddy: Lucia just briefed me on the situation. We've locked onto Typhon's location, and we'll be clearing the roadblocks to open a path for you.

Big Daddy: You don't need to worry about Blazewood's defenses. Thanks to your help, the Ethereal assault has weakened a lot.

Big Daddy: But since we still need to keep part of our forces on Blazewood's defense, taking down Typhon will be up to you.

Big Daddy: Just let me know when you're ready to head out.

Let's move! For Yidhari!

Wait, I still need to get ready.

(Talk to Big Daddy again, if exited)

Big Daddy: Just let me know when you're ready to head out.

Let's move! For Yidhari!

Wait, I still need to get ready.
