Dialogue

Check the DM from Kousaka

There seems to be something wrong with the Three Gates' cement mixer... Let's go check it out.

(Receive a DM from Kousaka)

Sorry to interrupt. I'm Kousaka, and I suppose you remember me?

REPLY

I think so?

You are...?

Please don't kid around with me

It's me, leader of the engineering team at Three Gates Corp... We've met before

I commissioned you to go to Belobog Heavy Industries and inquire about intelligence mods for the cement mixers

REPLY

I remember now

Yeah...

After you left, our technician modified the cement mixer

The work is done, but things have become... pretty weird!

REPLY

Weird?

Did the mods fail?

I'm not sure what's the problem, either...

Please, if you have any free time these days, come check out the site!

Find Kousaka and ask how the cement mixer modifications are going

There seems to be something wrong with the Three Gates' cement mixer... Let's go check it out.

Brant Street Construction Site

(Idle): Kousaka: I really didn't see that coming...

(Talk to Kousaka): Kousaka: Great, you're finally here... We just got the cement mixer to calm down.; What happened?; Kousaka: I—I found someone to help recover all those scrapped Belobog logic cores and installed one in our cement mixer...; Kousaka: And all it did was start talking in this weird tone. It wouldn't listen to any commands whatsoever!; Kousaka: What now, what am I gonna do!?; You made your own bed!; You knew this would happen but still went ahead and did it...; Kousaka: I'm so sorry, I never expected things to turn out like this!; Kousaka: I'm just trying to cut costs and help the engineering team get a bigger end-of-year bonus. But now, I have no idea how I'm supposed to report back to my boss...; Kousaka: Please, ask Belobog Industries for help and see if they know how to stop the modification!

Figure out a way to restore the cement mixer to normal

Kousaka used a scrap logic core to upgrade the cement mixer, but now it's out of control... We've got to come up with a way to get it back to normal!

Brant Street Construction Site

(Idle): Kousaka: It's over...

(Interact with the Cement Mixer)

Cement Mixer: (The cement mixer is motionless. Its indicator lights inside are left aglow.)

Check carefully

(The cement mixer seems to have detected someone is approaching and starts talking.)

Cement Mixer: Ding— Intelligence modification in progress. Please select a tone you prefer from the following: Proud and sassy, assertive and bossy, or childlike and friendly.

Proud and sassy?

Cement Mixer: Ding— Logic core configured.

Cement Mixer: Oh, it's you. What's wrong? Don't get it wrong. I'm not waiting for you here, just prepping for work as scheduled.

Ummm, please stop the modification

Cement Mixer: We've just met each other for the first time, and you already think I'm not good enough?!

Cement Mixer: You... You're an idiot!

Assertive and bossy?

Cement Mixer: Ding— Logic core configured.

Cement Mixer: Hmmm, coming all the way here to see me, you must be up to something, right?

Ummm, please stop the modification

Cement Mixer: Oh? You want me to give up thinking...

Cement Mixer: Guess it seems to you I'm only a dim-witted construction machinery.

Cement Mixer: How merciless...

Childlike and friendly?

Cement Mixer: Ding— Logic core configured.

Cement Mixer: I—Is there anything I can help you with? I'll do my best!

Ummm, stop the modification

Cement Mixer: Eh? Stop the modification? But I don't remember the logic core's abort command, I can't stop it now...

Cement Mixer: S—Sorry! My memory must be too low, I'm too dumb!

Cement Mixer: (Seems like there's no way to stop it... Let me get some help from Belobog Industries...)

(Interacting with the Cement Mixer again repeats the same dialogue)

Go to Belobog Heavy Industries for technical assistance

The cement mixer can't stop. Best go to Belobog and find a technician to help.

(Idle): Grace: *Yawn* I'm so sleepy...

(Talk to Grace): Grace: Eh? It's you. It's rare to see you *yawn*...; Grace: ...around here!; Are you okay, Grace?; Grace: I'm okay. I'm just a little sleep-deprived from working on a technical problem for the entire night.; Grace: At times like this, I wish I had a prosthetic arm that can work for me while I'm sleeping!; Grace: It'd be nice if the arm had a muscular-looking and exquisite design! It would be perfect for technical workers.; Grace: So, what can I do for you?; It's kind of embarrassing for me to say...; I need to ask for a favor...; (Tell Grace about the modifications Three Gates applied to their cement mixers.); Grace: Do you mean Three Gates used our discarded parts in violation of the regulations and caused some machines to malfunction?; Grace: You're such a nice person, Proxy. But I can't see why Belobog Industries should clean the mess caused by their competitor.; Grace: That being said, I have a fair proposal. If you can provide me with inspiration for my mechanical hand, I'll consider giving you the solution to the core failure.; Let me see what I can do!; I'll take care of it!; Grace: A sleek and exquisitely designed mechanical hand... I think I saw something like that while shopping on Sixth Street.; Grace: Why don't you take a look around Sixth Street and see if you can find any traces of that mechanical hand?; Grace: How's it going, Proxy? Wasn't too difficult, I hope?; I've started to piece some things together.; There's no dealing with you.; Grace: Then it's a deal. Give me a photo of that mechanical hand, and I'll give you the solution in exchange.; Grace: I'll get hyped up while I wait for you!

(Idle): Grace: Wake up!!!

(Talk to Grace again, optional): Grace: What kind of structure would it have?

Get Enzo's permission and take the photo

As a gesture of goodwill for the "solution," Grace asked us to help her get a photo of Enzo's mechanical arm. We'll need his permission first.

Sixth Street

(Idle): Enzo: My shoulder has been feeling rather heavy recently.

(Talk to Enzo)

Enzo: Hi there, do you have anything to modify?

Enzo: You might have to wait for a while as I need to stretch my arm. It feels a bit stiff after a long day of work.

My friend is a fan of your arm!

My friend needs your arm!

Enzo: What? My arm? I earn my living with it, so it's not for sale.

You briefly explain Grace's request to take a photo of Enzo's arm.

Enzo: Hahaha! I see. You only want a photo of my prosthetic arm!

Enzo: Sure! It used to give me so much pain, but now I'm proud of it! It was designed by an old friend!

Enzo: It is flexible, strong, and easy to use! The shoulder part feels heavy recently, but I guess it's because I've been overusing it.

Enzo: By the way, did you say you wanted to take a picture of my arm for your friend?

Enzo: Go ahead. I'll stand still.

Take a photo of Enzo's arm

Got permission from Uncle Enzo to take a picture of his arm.

Brant Street Construction Site

(Idle): Enzo: Should I change my posture?

(Talk to Enzo again, optional): Enzo: If your friend is truly interested, she's welcome to come here and look at my arm herself!; Enzo: This arm is the most charming when it is at work!

(Take a photo of Enzo)

Give the photo to Grace

We've got the picture Grace wants. Let's give it to Grace and get the "solution" to stop the cement mixer modification.

Brant Street Construction Site

(Idle): Grace: What kind of design would it be?

(Talk to Grace): Grace: Hey, you're back! Have you snapped a picture of the prosthetic arm? Please show me!; Grace: Yeah...; Grace: Oh!; Grace: Interesting...; Grace: Oh...?; Grace: Is this gentleman experiencing discomfort around his shoulder lately?; How do you know that?; I think he did mention that earlier.; Grace: This is exactly what I expected...; Grace: This prosthetic arm has a brilliant design, but the bearings at the joints are slightly worn out. Look here...; Grace: This will result in a slight imbalance in its weight distribution. While it can still work, I believe it will cause some discomfort.; Grace: You can remind him of that when you got some time!; That's impressive, Grace!; Grace: I feel more energized now after looking at the great mechanical design.; Grace: Given the sincerity of their offer, I'll lend them a hand.; Grace: I brought out those Logic Cores from the Hollows. Most of them had defects and didn't pass testing.; Defects?; Grace: Yeah. Ether corrupted their core circuits, and their algorithms became quite strange, no matter how their personalities were programmed.; Grace: When testing these logic cores, we tried out some mods on a forklift. Anton randomly made up a character called: "Real Bro In Pursuit for Power."; Grace: In the end, the forklift just stayed in one place lifting heavy metal objects up and down and refused to carry any freight or take any machine oil...; Grace: It would just say, "I'm only doing strength training now, no cardio, and definitely not having carbs... Otherwise these muscles won't pop."; But forklifts don't even have muscles!; It's a world I don't even pretend to understand...; Grace: Right? That's why those logic cores didn't pass basic testing, and we scrapped them all.; How can we restore the modded cement mixer back to its original state?; Grace: The solution is pretty straightforward. My preset voice command is the only thing needed to shut everything down...; Grace: Just say, "calm down, little one" to the machine. This will make the Logic Core shut down.

(Talk to Grace again, optional): Grace: I'll keep this picture and look at it whenever I feel sleepy!

Stop the cement mixer's modification process

Grace gave you a voice code that can stop the modification process. Go to the cement mixer and try it out.

Check carefully

(The cement mixer seems to have detected someone is approaching and starts talking.)

Let it keep updating and then see what happens

Cement Mixer: Ding— Intelligence modification in progress. Please select a tone you prefer from the following: Proud and sassy, assertive and bossy, or childlike and friendly.

Proud and sassy?

Cement Mixer: Ding— Logic core configured.

Cement Mixer: Oh, it's you. What's wrong? Don't get it wrong. I'm not waiting for you here, just prepping for work as scheduled.

Ummm, please stop the modification

Cement Mixer: We've just met each other for the first time, and you already think I'm not good enough?!

Ummm, stop the modification

Cement Mixer: Eh? Stop the modification? But I don't remember the logic core's abort command, I can't stop it now...

Cement Mixer: S—Sorry! My memory must be too low, I'm too dumb!

Cement Mixer: (Seems like there's no way to stop it... Perhaps I should try using Grace's voice command.)

"Calm down, little one!"

Cement Mixer: Beep— Abort command detected. The logic core is now disabled.

(Phew... You finally manage to make it stop. Go tell [sic] Kousaka.)

Tell Kousaka that the cement mixer is back to normal

You got the password from Grace to terminate the mod program, and the cement mixer is finally back to normal... Better update Kousaka on the news.

Brant Street Construction Site

(Idle): Kousaka: *sigh*... I won't go randomly salvaging things ever again...

(Talk to Kousaka): Kousaka: How did it go? Did you find a fix?; It stopped!; Kousaka: That's great! When the technician gets here, I'll have him dismantle that logic core!; Kousaka: *sigh* Now I'll never mess with these smart machines again... Let's forget about the modding...; Kousaka: Anyway, thanks a lot for your help! I owe you a big one!
