Dialogue
- (A special online meeting is about to begin inside the Random Play store.)
- (SiblingSibling): (Shall we start, Belle?Shall we start, Belle? /
Can we start, Wise?Can we start, Wise?) 
Let's go!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Okay, let's get to it.Okay, let's get to it. /
Let's begin!Let's begin!)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Okay, let's get to it.Okay, let's get to it. /
Should I wash my face first...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Considering I have to see familiar faces, shouldn't I tidy myself up a bit...?Considering I have to see familiar faces, shouldn't I tidy myself up a bit...? /
Wait a minute! Shouldn't I do my makeup? Or at least wash my face?Wait a minute! Shouldn't I do my makeup? Or at least wash my face?)

- (SiblingSibling): (Don't worry, you look fine.Don't worry, you look fine. /
Don't worry. You look great!Don't worry. You look great!) - (SiblingSibling): (Testing, testing, hello? This is Phaethon. Can everybody hear me?Testing, testing, hello? This is Phaethon. Can everybody hear me? /
Ahem, hello? This is Phaethon. Can everyone hear me?Ahem, hello? This is Phaethon. Can everyone hear me?) - Nicole: Has it started yet? Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?
- Anton: This is Anton from Belobog Heavy Industries. The sound and video are both clear! But I'm sorry — I just have to warn you that I'm on a construction site right now and—
- Anton: — Yeah. You might hear something like that.
- Lycaon: This is Lycaon of Victoria Housekeeping speaking. You're coming in quite clearly.
- (SiblingSibling): I'll keep this brief — We've called everyone together to discuss Hollow C41. We—
- Nicole: Yeah — this is Nicole from the Cunning Hares. Uh-huh — I can hear you just fine!
- (SiblingSibling): (Uh... Nicole, sounds like you're experiencing some lag on your end.Uh... Nicole, sounds like you're experiencing some lag on your end. /
Uh... Nicole, I think you've got a little lag from your side.Uh... Nicole, I think you've got a little lag from your side.) - Nicole: Eh? Really? No way! I'm borrowing the Wi-Fi from the office building next door, and they just upgraded their connection.
- (SiblingSibling): Getting back on track... We've heard rumors from multiple sources saying Ether activity in Hollow C41 is gradually increasing for some unknown reason.
- (SiblingSibling): (If this keeps up, it'll no longer be classified as declining — it'll have to be considered an active Sub-Hollow again.If this keeps up, it'll no longer be classified as declining — it'll have to be considered an active Sub-Hollow again. /
If this keeps up, we'll have to consider it an active Sub-Hollow again!If this keeps up, we'll have to consider it an active Sub-Hollow again!) - (SiblingSibling): Since you've all experienced getting lost to some degree while exploring C41, we want to get everyone together to share intel(. We also need to figure out whether or not the rumors are true.. We also need to figure out whether or not the rumors are true. /
, and figure out whether or not the rumors are true., and figure out whether or not the rumors are true.) - Let's start by sharing our recent exploration experiences.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Let's start by sharing our recent exploration experiences.
- Anton: Me first! Belobog Industries is chiefly concerned with researching the military machinery stored in the warehouse, and—
- Anton: ...too far...
- Anton: ...defensive weapons...
- Anton: ...and yeah! That's all Belobog Industries is up to.
- All I heard was machine noise!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ...All I heard was machine noise!
- Can you say that again?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Anton? Can you (repeat that?repeat that? /
say that again?say that again?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Anton? Can you (repeat that?repeat that? /
- Lycaon: The scope of Belobog Industries' exploration interests partially falls within some warehousing areas, but does not extend too far into C41. The defensive weapons they've encountered are all normal.
- (SiblingSibling): (That's wolf hearing for you.That's wolf hearing for you. /
Wow, Lycaon! You've got great hearing!Wow, Lycaon! You've got great hearing!) - Lycaon: Your praise is misplaced. I couldn't hear over the noise either. I just relied on lip-reading.
- Isn't that even more incredible?!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (You can read lips? That's even more impressive than good hearing.You can read lips? That's even more impressive than good hearing. /
Lip reading? That's even cooler!Lip reading? That's even cooler!) - Anton: Hello? Sorry, has the noise stopped? Ah, yeah. Our lupine friend misspoke at the end there. The defensive weapons we've encountered are NOT normal, and we're not sure if it's a maintenance issue or due to Ether corruption.
- Lycaon: Forgive me. It seems my lip-reading ability was caught wanting. I have humiliated myself...
- (SiblingSibling): (Uh, it's okay. Just a little mistake.Uh, it's okay. Just a little mistake. /
No no, it's fine! Just a little slip-up, that's all.No no, it's fine! Just a little slip-up, that's all.) - Fairy: The mistake is however, a key word of opposite definition.
- (SiblingSibling): (Not now, Fairy!Not now, Fairy! /
Shut up, Fairy!Shut up, Fairy!) - Lycaon: Allow me to report in second, then. Victoria Housekeeping has explored deeply within C41, including some of Midsummer Incorporated's warehousing areas.
- Lycaon: We haven't come across any enemies worth mentioning, though we did see several rookie Hollow Raiders along the way. Their amateur antics attracted most of the automatic defensive weapons and Ethereals, who went chasing after them.
- (SiblingSibling): (Is that so? A few somewhat out-of-control defensive weapons,Is that so? A few somewhat out-of-control defensive weapons, /
Alright, so we've got some slightly malfunctioning defensive weapons,Alright, so we've got some slightly malfunctioning defensive weapons,) plus more Hollow Raiders... Sounds like nothing out of the ordinary, right? - Nicole: We're gonna share experiences? I'll go first!
- (SiblingSibling): Nicole, you're lagging badly. The other two have already finished. (Fairy, is there anything you can do?Fairy, is there anything you can do? /
Fairy, can you help her out?Fairy, can you help her out?) - Fairy: I have hacked into the network Nicole is "borrowing." The password is: NEXT-DOOR-CAN-PAY-FOR-IT. All capitals.
- Nicole: Oh yeah — password valid! Haha, those cheap suckers next door have never seen the likes of me!
- Nicole: Anyway, we Cunning Hares have explored C41 the most — and the deepest! We've been to pretty much all the storage areas. Other than the Midsummer defense systems, we didn't come across any other enemies!
- (SiblingSibling): So it's mostly those defensive machines... They're prone to corruption, but only devices with anything remotely resembling AI onboard have the potential to mutate into an Ethereal.
- (SiblingSibling): Defensive machines are usually low-level autonomous systems, not AI. In theory, C41 should be lacking a source to reactivate the Ether, so why are there signs of the activity rising?
- Anton: Wait! Those Midsummer defensive weapons aren't what you think! It's—
- Anton: CLUNK—! Bzzt-bzzt-bzzt...
- These interruptions come at the worst times!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): These interruptions come at the worst times!
- These interruptions are suspiciously well-timed...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): These interruptions are suspiciously well-timed...
- Lycaon: Pardon me, if I might be allowed another attempt at lip-reading?
- Anton: ...This is...
- Anton: ...Damn...
- Anton: ...So actually it's different!
- Lycaon: Hmm, I see. Mr. Anton says the Midsummer defensive weapons have early AI chips installed, which were their standout feature upon first breaking into the market, and the reason Belobog wants to study them.
- Lycaon: Mr. Anton then described a complicated metaphor about drilling, sweat, and... juvenile animals... which is supposed to describe expertise in construction machinery.
- Anton: Uhh, actually my lupine bro, that was just me lecturing my workers with some, uh, choice words. Sorry...
- Lycaon: Forgive me. It seems my lip-reading is as abysmal as my construction industry knowledge. I have embarrassed myself once more...
- Anton: Ah, but all that stuff at the start was correct! Midsummer Incorporated's defensive weapons do use obsolete AI — as verified for us by our techie, Grace!
- Nicole: Hmm... it's a mystery, alright — but I think I've got it all figured out!
- Nicole: The source of the Ether activity must be Midsummer Incorporated's defense weapons! As rumors grew about the mysterious treasure, just think of all the rookies who must've come stumbling into Hollow C41, clumsily wandering through the warehouse and triggering all those defensive weapons!
- Nicole: As more and more AI defense weapons were activated, Ether corruption soared, and it became a breeding ground for Etheric matter!
- (SiblingSibling): (Whoa... That actually makes sense.Whoa... That actually makes sense. /
Mmm... That would make sense.Mmm... That would make sense.) Looks like Nicole's internet — and her brain — are fully online now! - Lycaon: So we just need to stop the defensive weapons from being activated?
- That's not feasible, there're too many of them.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (That's not really feasible, given how many of them there are. We just don't have enough time.That's not really feasible, given how many of them there are. We just don't have enough time. /
Hmmm... that's not very realistic. There's too many targets.Hmmm... that's not very realistic. There's too many targets.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (That's not really feasible, given how many of them there are. We just don't have enough time.That's not really feasible, given how many of them there are. We just don't have enough time. /
- We should tackle the source of the problem!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Then what if... we change the plan to address the root cause!Then what if... we change the plan to address the root cause! /
Perhaps we can... try to tackle the source of the problem?Perhaps we can... try to tackle the source of the problem?) - Anton: Hmm... Based on the way these defensive weapons are distributed, it looks like the bigger ones are in the deeper areas of the warehouse!
- Nicole: Then we need to stop these rookie Hollow Raiders from traipsing all over the place... That won't be easy.
- Lycaon: I understand the situation. We at Victoria Housekeeping will join with you in searching for these defensive weapons.
- (SiblingSibling): Then let's put all the related info up on Inter-Knot, so anyone going exploring inside C41 will know what they're getting into!
- (SiblingSibling): (Good. It's decided then. If you agree, Belle, then I hereby conclude this mission briefing.Good. It's decided then. If you agree, Belle, then I hereby conclude this mission briefing. /
Okay! It's decided then. And so, I hereby conclude this mission briefing... Right, Wise?Okay! It's decided then. And so, I hereby conclude this mission briefing... Right, Wise?) - Meeting adjourned!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Yes. Thank you for the info and assistance. Meeting adjourned.Yes. Thank you for the info and assistance. Meeting adjourned. /
Great! Thanks for coming everyone! Meeting over!Great! Thanks for coming everyone! Meeting over!)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Yes. Thank you for the info and assistance. Meeting adjourned.Yes. Thank you for the info and assistance. Meeting adjourned. /
- Let's get to it!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Everyone knows what they need to do. Let's move out!Everyone knows what they need to do. Let's move out! /
I'm counting on all of you! Let's get going!I'm counting on all of you! Let's get going!)
