En-Nah Gang of the Retroflux Zone

(A short cutscene plays, Eous enters the Retroflux Zone)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Whoa, I never expected such a huge space beneath Booastrum... So, this is the Retroflux Zone... From the structure and the name, this has to be Booastrum's water circulation system.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): According to the guard, if we keep going a little further, we should see an elevator that goes down to the En-Nah Gang's hideout... Alright, let's go!

 Chat with the Bangboo by the elevator

---

A few Bangboo are gathered near the elevator. Looks like something's up. Go ask them.

(Talk to the Map Vendor, optional)

Map Vendor: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne? (A new face! First time in the Retroflux Zone? Need a map?)

What does the map show?

Map Vendor: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-ne! (The entire Retroflux Zone! The place is a maze, so this map's worth every Denny!)

Map Vendor: Ehn-ne-ne! Ehn-ne! (I explored and mapped every corner myself. Guaranteed! Just 500 Dennies. Interested?)

Is this map genuine?

Map Vendor: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne! (Of course! I make maps for a living. Why would I sell you a fake? Just so we're clear: you pay, I hand it over. No exceptions!)

Let's see the map first...

Map Vendor: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne? (No way! You're just messing with me now, aren't you? So, are you buying or what?)

Let me check it first!

Map Vendor: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-ne! (No! Forget it. I'm not selling to you. Get out of here!)

(Talk to the Map Vendor again, optional)

Map Vendor: Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne-ne? (What? Changed your mind about my map?)

Your map is obviously fake.

Map Vendor: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne! (Shoo! If you're not buying, quit wasting my time. I've got other customers!)

Builderboo 1: Ehn-ne-ne? (Isn't Clink Market this way?)

Builderboo 2: Ehn-ne-nuh... (Did you buy a fake map from that shady dealer by the entrance...?)

Builderboo 1: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne! (What?! I paid 500 Dennies for it!)

(Talk to the Idle Bangboo, optional)

Idle Bangboo: Wuh-ne-ne! (Me, work in the lower levels of the Retroflux Zone? No way!)

Why not?

Idle Bangboo: Wuh-ne? Wuh-ne-ne... (You haven't heard? There's a monster lurking deep in the Retroflux Zone, wearing a Bangboo's skin...)

Idle Bangboo: Wuh-ne-wuh-ne! (I saw it three days ago. It was tall and slender, with a terrifying glare. You could barely tell it was a Bangboo. It looked nothing like a normal one!)

Idle Bangboo: Wuh-ne... Wuh-ne... (I didn't dare get close. I hid far away until the crackling current and scraping metal faded away...)

Idle Bangboo: Wuh-ne-ne! (If you're heading deeper into the Retroflux Zone, be careful!)

(Idle)

Talkative En-Nah Gang Bangboo: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-nuh! (Look down! Look down!)

(Talk to the Talkative En-Nah Gang Bangboo, optional)

Talkative En-Nah Gang Bangboo: Ehn-ne-ne-nuh? (Why did the En-Nah Gang have to set up their base all the way in the Retroflux Zone?)

Talkative En-Nah Gang Bangboo: Ehn-ne-ne-nuh! Ehn-ne-nuh! (It's underground, dark, cramped, narrow, and full of twists! A regular Bangboo would burn through tons of charge just getting inside!)

Talkative En-Nah Gang Bangboo: Ehn-ne-nuh? (You think so too, don't you?)

The way in is pretty rough...

Talkative En-Nah Gang Bangboo: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-nuh. (The other Bangboo said I could just take a robot in. They even left one at the entrance! See? It's right next to me.)

Talkative En-Nah Gang Bangboo: Ehn-ne-ne? Ehn-ne-nuh! Ehn-ne-nuh! (But what if I don't know how to drive? This is discrimination! Discrimination against Bangboos who never learned how!)

(This Bangboo is pretty chatty...)

(Better leave him to it...)

(Approach the target location)

Stern Bangboo: Ehn, ehn-ne? (Hey, you there. You're a new member of the En-Nah Gang too, right?)

Yeah. Are you all new members too?

Why are you all standing here?

Pessimistic Bangboo: Ehn-ne. (We were gonna take the elevator to the secret hideout, but when we pressed the button, nothing happened.)

Pessimistic Bangboo: Ehn-ne-ne... (Could this be another test for joining the En-Nah Gang? I thought I had seen the revelation, so I was sure I would be accepted...)

Stern Bangboo: Ehn, ehn-ne-ne. (Once you've seen the revelation, you must believe in your sacred mission and overcome whatever difficulty stands before you!)

Airheaded Bangboo: Ehn! Neh! Neh! (Revelation! Sacred! Overcome!)

Stern Bangboo: Ehn... ehn-ne? (By the way, friend, you don't look like a Databoo. That's pretty rare. How did you receive the revelation?)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Wait, why are they (‍looking at me now?!looking at me now?!Text for Wise / all looking at me?!all looking at me?!Text for Belle‍) I'm still (‍trying totrying toText for Wise / trynatrynaText for Belle‍) figure out what they (‍were allwere allText for Wise / werewereText for Belle‍) mumbling about...

(It all happened so fast.)

(I didn't really understand it... but I was stunned.)

Stern Bangboo: Ehn-ne ehn-ne. (True. Seeing something like that so suddenly would leave any Bangboo at a loss.)

Airheaded Bangboo: Ehn! Neh! Neh! (Revelation! Stunned! At a loss!)

Pessimistic Bangboo: Ehn-ne... neh-neh! Neh. (Um... Every time a new Bangboo shows up, we talk about the revelation, but the elevator problem never gets solved! Let's hurry up and figure out how to reach the secret hideout.)

The elevator's broken...

Let's check the area.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (The elevator's broken... Let's look around. Maybe there's another way to reach the En-Nah Gang's hideout.)

The elevator you just repaired suddenly starts moving on its own!
Before long, it returns to the lower level, and three familiar figures step out...

Stern Bangboo: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne-ne... (The elevator suddenly went back to normal... Does that mean the test is over already...?)

Pessimistic Bangboo: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne-ne! (No way... C'mon. Our pal here fixed the elevator for us!)

Airheaded Bangboo: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ne-ne! (Pal! Amazing!)

Pessimistic Bangboo: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne ehn-ne... (To have such an outstanding boo with us... The revelation we follow... is right, as expected...)

(That revelation...?)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (The En-Nah Gang's Bangboo keep mentioning this "relevation"... It's been bothering me for a while. What in New Eridu is it?)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Could it be a clue about the culprit? Or maybe...)

Stern Bangboo: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne. (Don't space out, friend. Our hideout is just up ahead. Let's go together.)

Excited Bangboo: Wuh-nah-gah! (I hear the last attack got a lot of higher-ups on alert!)

Passionate Bangboo: En ehn, enneh-nah-gah! (Word is this is the most successful op lately. Now they'll surely see the En-Nah Gang means business!)

Meticulous Bangboo: Neh-nah-gah. (But it seems like the final op didn't quite meet the goals.)

Passionate Bangboo: Neh-en-nah-gah. (That's because Lady Sigrid stepped in herself and shut it down.)

Excited Bangboo: Wuh-nah, nehnah-wuh-gah. (First time in history anyone's managed to get the legendary Lady Sigrid herself to show up.)

Excited Bangboo: En-neh-nahnah-gah! (The En-Nah Gang will achieve its mission someday!)

Resting Builderboo: En-en-neh-nah-gah. (It never ends, it never ends.)

Resting Builderboo: En-ehn, en-neh-ahn gah. (No matter how much I fix, something else always breaks down just as fast.)

The elevator up top is busted too.

Does the equipment around here fail often?

Resting Builderboo: Enneh gah. (No idea why, but things have been breaking more and more lately.)

Resting Builderboo: En, neh-nah gah. (There's no end to this.)

One more question.

I don't hear many boo say "gah"...

Resting Builderboo: En, neh-nah-gah. (Oh, you'll get it once you meet our illustrious boss.)

Resting Builderboo: En-ahn, en-neh-gah! (Around here, everyboo looks up to the boss as their role model. You'll get the hang of it soon enough!)

(Talk to the Serious Builderboo, optional)

Serious Builderboo: Enneh, nah-gah... (I just fixed it yesterday, how's it broken again...)

Assisting Builderboo: En-ehn, en-na-gah... (It's been like this for a while now, and no one can figure out why.)

Serious Builderboo: Neh, en-ne-neh, ehn-gah. (Guess I'll just have to fix it again. Swapped in a new wrench this time. Maybe that'll do the trick.)

Assisting Builderboo: Ennah-gah. (I don't think it works like that.)

(Talk to the Pessimistboo, optional)

Pessimistboo: Neh... en-nah-gah. (Gang missions... too much work.)

En-Nah Gang missions?

Like what?

Pessimistboo: Ennah-gah. (No idea, I've never participated.)

Pessimistboo: Nehnah, enneh-gah. (Just thinking about it made me tired, so I lay down here for a break.)

Pessimistboo: En-ahn-neh, ennah, neh-gah. (Keeping healthy and my battery charged... that's how I live up to Sunbringer's expectations, yeah.)

(Approach the target location)

Eous: Ehn-ne-ne? (Huh? Where's the path gone this time?)

Stern Bangboo: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne. (A Bangboo once said: when there is no path, fire the cannon forward, and a path will appear.)

Pessimistic Bangboo: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne. (A Bangboo once said: anything within range of the Bangboo cannon is a path a Bangboo may travel.)

You mean...

...Using that cannon up ahead?!

Pessimistic Bangboo: Ehn-ne. (Yes.)

Airheaded Bangboo: Ehn, ehn, neh. (Bangboo cannon! Get in! Fire!)

...

Is it too late to turn back now?

Stern Bangboo: Ehn-ne, ehn-nah-ne. Ehn-ne! (Don't worry, this is the final test. Let's all do our best!)

Fairy: Master, based on a rough calculation, the probability of this vehicle safely delivering Eous to the destination is: 98.732%.

Griff: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-gah. (I am Griff Ashton, current boss of the En-Nah Gang!)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Griff... So he's the boss of the En-Nah Gang! Maybe he knows something about the culprit... Come to think of it, this place really does (‍resembleresembleText for Wise / look a lot likelook a lot likeText for Belle‍) what we saw in Toby's memories...)

Pessimistic Bangboo: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne... (Wow, this Bangboo has a family name, and he can even en-nah a gah... He's definitely special...)

Stern Bangboo: Ehn-ehn, ehn-ehn-ne. (Boss Griff, we were allowed here because we received the revelation. We don't want to keep drifting without purpose. We long to contribute to the En-Nah Gang's great cause!)

Griff: Ehn-ne-gah! (Very good. That's the spirit!)

Griff: Ehn, ehn-ne? Ehn-ne-gah. (But they said three new members were coming; why's there one extra? Ugh, never mind. An elite four having five members is nothing unusual, after all.)

Pessimistic Bangboo: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne ehn-ne? (Um, Boss... does this mean we're officially members of the En-Nah Gang now?)

Griff: Gah, ehn-ehn-ne-gah. (Oh, more or less. Once you've got the Great Prophet's approval, you're in!)

Griff: Nah-nuh, ehn-ah-nah, ehn-ne-gah. (He's the oldest member of the En-Nah Gang and the first large Databoo to receive the revelation. Every new member must earn his approval before joining.)

Griff: Ehn-gah. (Alright, follow me.)

 Meet with Prophetboo

Griff, the boss of the En-Nah Gang, welcomes us and makes it clear that to officially join the En-Nah Gang, we'd need the approval of a large Databoo known as Prophetboo. Time to meet this Prophetboo.

Prophetboo: Ennah. (Lotta new Boo here.)

Stern Bangboo: En-nah, ne. (We only made it thanks to that outstanding Boo.)

Griff: Enneh-gah. (Prepare for verification.)

(Approach Prophetboo)

Griff: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-gah. (O Great Prophet, I've brought four new members who have received the revelation.)

Prophetboo: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne... (Oh, more new disciples? Good, good... The En-Nah Gang grows stronger. One day, all Bangboo shall see the truth...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (So this is Prophetboo... the oldest Bangboo of the En-Nah Gang.)

Prophetboo: Ehn, ehn-ne-ne. (Come, children. Tell me what kind of revelation each of you received.)

Griff: Ehn-ne-gah? (Which of you would like to go first?)

Stern Bangboo: Ehn-ehn, neh, ehn-ne. (Boss, Great Prophet, on such an important occasion, I propose that the most outstanding Boo among us speak first.)

Huh? Me?

Stern Bangboo: Ehn-ehn, neh, ehn-ne. (He is a kind and dependable Bangboo. If it weren't for his help, we might've never made it here.)

No, no, no. You go first. I insist.

Pessimistic Bangboo: Ehn-ne, neh, ehn-ne. (Ah, my friend, you're far too humble... It only makes this Bangboo feel even more ashamed. I also propose that this outstanding Boo go first.)

Airheaded Bangboo: Ehn! Neh! (Outstanding Boo! Goes first!)

Uh... well...

Griff: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-gah. (Alright, alright, enough. Since your companions all agree, you go first.)

Fairy: Apologies, Master. No relevant data found regarding the "En-Nah Gang's revelation." Suggestion: respond vaguely and attempt to bluff your way through.

(Follow Fairy's advice)

Eous: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne... ehn-ne-ne... (The revelation was... very shocking. Very spectacular... It just appeared all of a sudden... Hmm... yes. Very shocking.)

Griff: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne-gah? (Shocking, sure, but... spectacular? What are you talking about?)

Griff: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne-gah?! (Wait... Don't tell me you didn't actually receive the revelation? Then what are you doing here? Wait... are you an Airspace Patrol Boo?!)

No, no! I mean no harm!

I'm here to help the Bangboo!

Griff: Ehn-ne, ehn, ehn-ne-gah! (No excuses! We won't trust any Bangboo who hasn't received the revelation! They're... They're all puppets controlled by those three! We can't trust a single one of them!)

Griff: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne-ne! (O Great Prophet, please tell us what we should do!)

Prophetboo: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne-ne. (A Bangboo who hasn't received the revelation... but you don't seem like a bad Bangboo.)

Prophetboo: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne ehn-ne. (This is certainly unprecedented... but then again, there's been no shortage of unprecedented happenings lately. Such as... the return of the Great One...)

Prophetboo: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne. (I believe... we should leave his fate to the Great One.)

Griff: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-gah! (Yes, Great Prophet! I'll take this one to see the Great One at once!)

(The Great One? Could it be...)

Griff: Ehn, ehn-ne-gah! (Hey, you! What're you standing around for? Come with me. I'll take you to see the Great One right now!)

And so, you're escorted to a sealed door...

Griff: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-gah! Ehn-ne-ne-gah! (We've arrived at the Great One's temporary chambers! You, stay where you are! No funny business!)

Griff: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne-nuh? Ehn-ne-gah. (Ahem... Great One, are you there? We've apprehended a suspicious Bangboo and are unsure how to deal with him. We humbly await your guidance.)

???: Oh? Is that so... Then come on in.

Griff: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne-gah! (Yes, Great One! We're coming in now! You, go in first! I'll be right behind you! Behave!)

Remielle: Oh yeah, (‍he'she'sText for Wise / she'sshe'sText for Belle‍) up to no good... (‍heheText for Wise / shesheText for Belle‍) is the partner-in-crime of a fugitive like me, after all~

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Answer me, Remielle. Why are you here... and what are you doing with the En-Nah Gang?

Remielle: Oh my, that is a curious question.

Remielle: Barging into someone else's home uninvited, then starting with "why are you here"... how terribly rude. Oh, wait. I suppose I did something similar myself not long ago... never mind. Not important.

Griff: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne-gah? (Lady Remielle... you know each other?)

Remielle: Yes. Haven't I mentioned before? This is the Proxy from the External Strategy Department.

Griff: Ehn-ne... ehn-ne-gah! (Oh, I remember! That cute, slightly clueless-looking Proxy you said was so much fun to tease!)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Huh?

Remielle: A little too talkative, aren't we, Griff?

Griff: Ehn-ne... Ehn-ne-ne! Ehn-ne-gah! (Eek! I'm sorry! I said too much! Lady Remielle, please put the feathers away! There's no need to use that on a Bangboo! I'm leaving right now! You two... please continue!)

Griff quickly bolts out of the room and slams the door behind him...

Remielle: Well then, it's just the two of us now, my charming little Bangboo. I must say, I didn't expect you to have such a practical — yet rather adorable — little skill.

Remielle: You haven't used this little trick for anything mischievous, have you?

Why are you here?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Why are you on the En-Nah Gang's turf? And... why do all the Bangboo here seem to respect you so much?

Remielle: My, you really should listen when people are talking, (‍Mr.Mr.Text for Wise / MissMissText for Belle‍) Impatient. Didn't I already tell you? This is my home. What's strange about finding me in my own home?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): So... you're the real leader of the En-Nah Gang?

Remielle: What are you talking about? The leader of the En-Nah Gang is Griff, the one who brought you in just now.

Remielle: Me? I'm only a poor soul they took in recently, that's all.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): But... don't the En-Nah Gang's Bangboo hate humans? Why would they...

Remielle: Because... the Bangboo they call Prophetboo... saw me once, long ago.

Remielle: It must have been over a hundred years ago... I never imagined a Bangboo could live that long.

Remielle: In his eyes, I'm still the Void Hunter—and a friend of their mother, Lady Sunbringer, the person they hold most dear.

That doesn't make sense.

Miss Fugitive for attempted assassination...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): But that makes even less sense! Weren't you wanted because you tried to assassinate Lady Sunbringer and failed? In which case, shouldn't the En-Nah Gang's Bangboo hate you even more?

Remielle: Oh, that part's simple.

Remielle: Because... as far as the En-Nah Gang understands it, the three Sunbringers now governing Roscaelifer...

Remielle: They're all impostors.

What did you say?!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): What did you say?!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): The three Lady Sunbringers we have now... even if they're not exactly as they once were, they're still Sunbringers, aren't they?

Remielle: Hehe, who knows? At the very least, the En-Nah Gang Bangboo don't see it that way.

Remielle: They believe only in the "revelation" they saw. And to them, it's proof that the true Lady Sunbringer is calling out for help.

What exactly is this "revelation"...?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): The "revelation" they saw... what exactly was it?

Remielle: How should I know? I'm not a Bangboo.

Remielle: But I've heard this so-called "revelation" is a vision that occasionally appears to Databoo while they're processing Rosetta Data ...

Remielle: The true Lady Sunbringer, imprisoned in endless darkness.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Huh? (‍Wait...Wait...Text for Wise / Wait, hold on...Wait, hold on...Text for Belle‍) The real Lady Sunbringer is imprisoned? By whom? No, that (‍doesn't make sense.doesn't make sense.Text for Wise / can't be right.can't be right.Text for Belle‍) (‍I can't imagine anyone being capable of something like that.I can't imagine anyone being capable of something like that.Text for Wise / There's no way anyone could pull off something like that!There's no way anyone could pull off something like that!Text for Belle‍)

Remielle: Sorry, I've got no idea either.

Remielle: Alright, (‍Mr.Mr.Text for Wise / MissMissText for Belle‍) Curious. I've answered quite a few of your questions already. Is it my turn now?

You... what do you want to ask?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): ...What do you want to ask?

Remielle: No need to be so nervous. Aren't we close enough to tell each other anything by now?

Remielle: My question is the same as yours: why are you here, my dear Proxy?

(Tell her what you found in Toby's memories)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Remember Toby? The Bangboo we rescued from Girtablullu.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): We managed to restore some of Toby's memories. He was kidnapped, (‍andandText for Wise / and...and...Text for Belle‍) the place where it (‍happenedhappenedText for Wise / happened...happened...Text for Belle‍) had En-Nah Gang graffiti.

Remielle: I see... so you've come to the En-Nah Gang looking for answers.

Remielle: Hmm... Singularity Leakage... the culprit behind the Bangboo case... the En-Nah Gang... Girtablullu... If my guess is right...

What is it, Remielle?

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): What is it, Remielle?

Remielle: Oh, it's nothing. Just a passing thought. Speaking of which...

Remielle: How about I do you a little favor, (‍Mr.Mr.Text for Wise / MissMissText for Belle‍) Detective?

Remielle: I can step in as "Lady Remielle of the En-Nah Gang," put in a good word for you, and have the En-Nah Gang Bangboo assist you in locating this... crime scene.

For real?

Remielle, you're a lifesaver!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): Really? (‍That wouldThat wouldText for Wise / That'dThat'dText for Belle‍) be a huge (‍help! Thank you!help! Thank you!Text for Wise / help, Remielle! Thanks!help, Remielle! Thanks!Text for Belle‍)

Remielle: (‍Oh my, Mr.Oh my, Mr.Text for Wise / Wow, MissWow, MissText for Belle‍) Detective, isn't that a little much? I told you my condition ages ago: help me investigate Girtablullu.

Remielle: And if I'm not mistaken... Girtablullu and the culprit you're after may end up being connected.

Can you clarify that...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (‍Remielle, you really should do something about your habit of speaking in riddles...Remielle, you really should do something about your habit of speaking in riddles...Text for Wise / Ugh...

Remielle, could you please clarify what you mean?Text for Belle‍)

Remielle: Hmm... very well. I'll try to restrain myself. Though... I am rather fond of riddles.

Remielle: A riddle keeps the uninvolved safely in their garden of ignorance, while guiding those who seek the truth one step at a time toward the heart of the mystery.

Remielle: In the end, a riddle is simply what truth looks like when the people involved don't all have the same information.

Remielle: But enough philosophy. Let's ask Griff about the place you're searching for.
