Dialogue

- Shepherd: It's "trial" time!
- (Talk to Shepherd)
- Shepherd: It's time to complete the final Reputation Rank-Up Trial, Proxy!
I can't wait!
- (Continue commission)
It's not time yet.
- Shepherd: It's alright. I'm patient, and so is Inter-Knot.
- Shepherd: Phaeth— er... (Mr.Mr. /
Ms.Ms.) Manager, are you surprised every time you see me IRL? - Shepherd: You know, unless there's a "big ticket," I don't usually show my face around.
- Shepherd: But I came to your shop today, of course, because it's a special day!
Is it my birthday?
- Shepherd: R—Really? Can we do it another day? Er, I've got something else going on...
- Is it your retirement day?
- Shepherd: I may want to retire, but the cost of living in New Eridu won't let me... I've come to see you because I've got something of the utmost importance here!
- It's "trial" time!
- Shepherd: That's right! Today's the day that you qualify for the promotion to the "Legendary Proxy" tier!
- Shepherd: There's one last step before you finally regain the title of "Legendary." A return to the throne for Phaethon! Aren't you excited?
- Whoa...!
- I'm not a child anymore.
- Shepherd: That's right. Just that name alone is already more legendary than any "Legendary Proxy" title could ever hope to be.
- Shepherd: Still, I must remind you that you must complete the final Reputation Rank-Up Trial.
- Shepherd: Declare your grand return to Inter-Knot — despite having never actually left, O' Legendary Proxy Phaethon.
- Shepherd: Oh, and remember to come find me at the coffee shop once you've completed the promotion mission — there's a gift waiting for you!
- (Idle)
- Shepherd: Even an old dude like myself can't help but get worked up a little!
- (Talk to Shepherd again, optional)
- Shepherd: You must be firing on all cylinders now that the "legend" has returned! I'll wait for the good news from you, then!
- (Idle)
- (SiblingSibling): The HDD is ready!
- (Talk to (SiblingSibling))
- (SiblingSibling): (Wise,Wise, /
Belle,Belle,) the HDD has been debugged and Fairy's ready for the final Reputation Rank-Up Trial. - (SiblingSibling): But I think Fairy's more interested in the title of "Legendary AI" rather than "Legendary Proxy"...
- (Unlock commission: Path of the Proxy IV (HDD))
- (Idle)
- (SiblingSibling): Prepare for the final trial!
- (Talk to (SiblingSibling) again, optional)
- (SiblingSibling): "At least a Legendary Proxy will finally match a Legendary AI like me." Who thought Fairy would ever throw down such a sassy challenge?!
- (SiblingSibling): You're not going to let it get away with that kind of hubris for too long, are you, (Wise?Wise? /
Belle?Belle?)
- (Complete the HDD commission)
- (Idle)
- Shepherd: A momentous occasion!
- (Talk to Shepherd)
- Shepherd: Yo, who's this, then? Don't tell me this is the Legendary Proxy Phaethon?
- That's right. It is I!
- Watch your mouth!
- Shepherd: Witnessing a young buck taking such bold strides forward... I can't help but think back to when I first made my debut...
- Shepherd: Back then, they called me a rising star among all the other intel dealers... What a pity I never got a title like "Legendary Broker" to commemorate all those memories.
- Shepherd: Unlike you, I never had a senior guiding me on the path to becoming a legend...
- How noble.
- So you'll waive the broker's fee on the next commission?
- Shepherd: Of course my broker's fee cannot be ignored! Anything less would be me disrespecting a legend!
- Shepherd: But we still need to hold a little ceremony on this day of you rising to the ranks of Legendary Proxy.
- Shepherd: Take these little gifts as a token of my appreciation, and leave behind some more stories in New Eridu, stories that only belong to you and me!
- (Commission complete)
- (Idle)
- Shepherd: Gotta think up a way to get a "Legendary Broker" title...
- (Talk to Shepherd again, optional)
- Shepherd: Every day in New Eridu is full of new stories about Phaethon~
