Head to Public Security

 Commission Description

Go to the Public Security branch at Lumina Square to apply for a license renewal.

(Approach Benjamin outside the precinct, optional)

Benjamin: Sit down!

Eugene: Mmph...

Benjamin: That's all for today's training session — class dismissed!

Eugene: Woof!

(Enter the Public Security Office)

Take care of your matters at the Public Security reception desk

 Commission Description

---

The atmosphere in the precinct is rather tense... Let's go to the front desk and ask the officer while submitting the documents.

(Approach the PubSec Officers to the right of the entrance, optional)

Public Security Officer B: Checking comms... Check, check — can you hear me?

Public Security Officer A: Roger that!

Public Security Officer C: Roger that!

(Approach the PubSec Officers near the "Stay Away from Hollows" Poster, optional)

Public Security Officer A: D—don't be n—nervous... Just remember your training and you'll be fine!

Public Security Officer B: Understood!

(Approach the PubSec Officers by the front desk, optional)

Public Security Officer: Captain, when does the operation begin?

Elite Officer: You'll know after the leader's combat meeting. Relax.

(Talk to the PubSec Officers by the front desk, optional)

Public Security Officer: ...This time we're up against tough opponents, so pull yourselves together!

Public Security Officer: Huh...?

Public Security Officer: Hello, citizen. Can I help you?

It's nothing, sorry to bother you...

I'm here on business.

Public Security Officer: Right. Citizen affairs are handled over at the counter.

(Talk to Amy at the reception desk)

Amy: Hello! Welcome to Public Security's Lumina branch. Don't forget to take a number and line up!

Amy: ...That said, I don't think there's anyone else lined up except for you...

Amy: Good! Citizen, how can I help you?

(Tell her the [sic] about your business license issue)

Amy: Hmm? So you're a shopkeeper and you're here to update your business credentials, are you? I see... Please show me your Citizen Verification Profile, and I can take a look into that for you.

After receiving the profile, the young female officer begins to wield the computer terminal with a certain flair.

Amy: Found it. New Eridu, Janus Quarter, in the Sixth Street neighborhood... A comprehensive video rental and retail service store going by the name Random Play?

Yeah, that's the one

Amy: OK, then let's get down to business... Here's a new declaration form for you. Just fill this out, answer a few questions about your business credentials, and that's it.

Stop by any time and we'll give you a discount!

Amy: Ahaha, thank you very much! You're not kidding, are you~?

Amy: Unless you have any questions, should we get straight into it?

Let's go!

Amy: I won't take up any more of your time. Let's get started!

(The camera pans to Qingyi, who opens the door to a meeting room)

(Ask about the tense atmosphere within Public Security)

Amy: Hmm? You mean, all these heavily-armed public security officers? Don't worry. They're just carrying out routine work.

Amy: Ah... But there is one slight issue. Their work involves sending more bureaucratic personnel over, meaning your business credentials might take a couple of extra days to update.

Amy: I won't take up any more of your time. Let's get started!

Just a second

Amy: Right, stop by here any time you like! I mean, it's not like there are any other citizens waiting, haha...

Dismantle Operation

The following is recorded in the Video Archive

 "Dismantle Operation"

---

Video Summary: The thing ambush missions and field trips have in common is that they cause people to lose sleep on the night before.

Story Description: In a conference room, a secret Public Security operational meeting is taking place. Aiming to thwart the well-hidden armed criminal group "Mountain Lion" in the old construction site, Zhu Yuan's team is ordered to carry out the operation.

---

	CLICK Qingyi: Zhu Yuan, there's a new report out...
	Qingyi: Ahem, er... excuse me...
	Byron: Please continue, Captain Zhu Yuan. Zhu Yuan: Yes sir.
	Zhu Yuan: The target of our operation is the Mountain Lions, a militant group that believes in brutality and is known for its involvement in violent crimes.
	Zhu Yuan: Their leader, Razor, has pulled together a fierce crew using his strength and wit. Zhu Yuan: One of the new faces we should keep a close eye on... is Jane. Zhu Yuan: She's played a key role in several criminal activities recently, rapidly rising through the ranks in the gang. Zhu Yuan: These are the targets for this combat operation.
	Zhu Yuan: We're planning to send a small, elite squad for a surgical strike against their core forces, with the goal of crippling the Mountain Lion Gang.
	Seth: Captain, I have a question. Zhu Yuan: Go ahead.
	Seth: The Mountain Lions are strong because of their armed members, but... Seth: Even if they're dauntless criminals, at the end of the day, they're essentially just a bunch of bandits. Surely, they can't outgun Public Security, right?
	Seth: Instead of just targeting their core forces, why not go a step further and take down their headquarters altogether?
	Zhu Yuan: Well, because...
	CLINK— Byron: We can't. At least, not yet.
	Byron: You are correct, officer Seth. Byron: They can call themselves the Mountain Lions, but in the eyes of the law, they're just alley cats with a bit more fluff. Nothing more — and certainly nothing to fear.
	Byron: The thing is, they're slippery. Seth: Slippery?
	Byron: That's right. These crooks manage to get away after every crime by entering a Hollow and disappearing without a trace.
	CLICK Byron: Our precinct has carried out several thorough raids, including systematic sweeps of the Hollows they frequent.
	BZZZ— BZZZ— Byron: It's a real shame we couldn't find anything. Unless...
	Byron: ...Your report brings good news, officer Qingyi?
	Qingyi: Oh? Let me think... The report indicated that our intel officers managed to detain a member of the Mountain Lion Gang at an old construction site in a Hollow.
	Qingyi: Now would be an ideal chance for a surprise strike.
	CLINK Byron: ...I see. Our precinct has invested significant time and resources in preparing for this operation. Byron: Captain Zhu Yuan, you know what this means... Zhu Yuan: Yes, sir. I do.
	SHAKE Byron: You'll be leading this operation. Remember, we cannot afford any failures.
	Byron: Is that clear? Zhu Yuan: Crystal clear, sir!
	Zhu Yuan: Code name: Operation Hooked...
	Zhu Yuan: Let's prepare for combat!
