Dialogue
- (Upon starting the commission)
- Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): Looks like there are supplies up ahead.
- Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): Let's check it out — it might be useful!
- (Idle)
- No anomalies detected!
- Stay alert!
- We need to keep a close watch...
- That makes sense.
- Let us head back in one more time!
- No can do, rules are rules.
- Alright, alright...
- (Interact with Supplies Depot)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (There's a ton of gear and supplies here... Could this be the "surprise" Ray mentioned?)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Might as well see what's useful...)
- Surviving Soldiers: You must be the independent investigator Officer Ray mentioned.
- Surviving Soldiers: Be careful. The Etherals around here are acting super weird!
- Surviving Soldiers: They're so strange...
- Surviving Soldiers: Before, we only needed simple bait, and they'd charge right at us. We were able to surround them and eliminate them one by one.
- Surviving Soldiers: But this time, they completely ignored our tactics. Instead, they seemed to be deliberately playing with us, even ambushing our reinforcement squads.
- Surviving Soldiers: In any case, stay safe! Many of our reinforcements have been ambushed.
How's the situation ahead?- Surviving Soldiers: The frontline is likely still in the thick of it, with considerable casualties.
- Surviving Soldiers: Although reinforcements have been called, they may be blocked by the Ethereals on their way.
I'll go and check.- Surviving Soldiers: I'll leave it to you, then!
- Surviving Soldiers: We'll stay here to intercept and snipe any nearby Ethereals for you. Stay safe out there.
- Surviving Soldiers: If anything comes up, retreat and return to the outpost with us to report.
- (After defeating enemies in Combat - Crisis on the Road)
Special Event
"The Trap"
Story Description: Deep within Hollow Zero, a group of soldiers are trapped. They have fallen victim to an ambush orchestrated by Ethereals... Quite unprecedented. Something isn't right... You must find Ray quickly.
- Injured Soldiers: What are you doing here? Are... Are you independent investigators?
- Injured Soldiers: You need to get outta here, now! Something's really wrong around here... Go, go back to the outpost and tell Captain Roland we need reinforcements! Those Ethereals... they're...
Calm down.
We're here to help.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Calm down, Roland sent us to find you. Are you a member of the rescue squad? What happened here?
- Injured Soldiers: ...A talking Bangboo? So you're the captain of the Independent Investigation Team that Officer Ray mentioned.
- Injured Soldiers: The Ethereals... they ambushed us. We were following the clues left by Officer Ray, but as we approached this area, we heard a sudden scream nearby.
- Injured Soldiers: We headed in that direction and found a soldier with a wounded leg. When he saw us, he desperately signaled for us to retreat.
- Injured Soldiers: We went to help without realizing what was going on... An Ethereal appeared from behind the ruins, standing there facing us. Then a second one, a third...
- Injured Soldiers: That was when we realized we had been surrounded.
- Injured Soldiers: Those Ethereals used our injured comrades as bait to lead us into a trap!
Using a soldier as bait?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Ethereals using an injured soldier as bait...? How is that possible?
- Injured Soldiers: Exactly. It's almost like... they were intelligent. I'd consider myself a veteran, but in all my years of service, nothing has ever sent shivers down my spine like this.
- Injured Soldiers: Anyway... We must report this to Captain Roland immediately. *cough cough*
You should head back now.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): You're right... We have to inform Roland. You should head back now. We'll handle the rest.
- Injured Soldiers: But... we haven't found Officer Ray yet...
Leave it to me!- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'll take over the rescue. That's an order from Roland. You have to hurry back and report what happened here, or things will get worse in Hollow Zero!
- Injured Soldiers: Understood... I salute you, (sirsir /
ma'amma'am), on behalf of the Defense Force! - After the surviving soldiers evacuate, the two siblings discuss the situation that the soldiers described, uneasy.
- (SiblingSibling): (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)... What that soldier just said... How is that even possible? It's like something straight out of a horror movie. - (SiblingSibling): These Ethereals' behavior is becoming increasingly odd... Perhaps Ray noticed something, which is why she was so insistent on investigating the area with abnormal Ether activity.
- (SiblingSibling): (Anyway, we need to be extra careful.Anyway, we need to be extra careful. /
In any case, we'd better stay on our toes.In any case, we'd better stay on our toes.)
- (Enter Price Difference)
- (Idle)
- Hollow Raider: I'm not one to mess with!
- Hollow Raider: SInce [sic] I've already received my payment, I'll keep him safe no matter what!
- (Talk to Mr. Vulture)
- Mr. Vulture: I heard there's been trouble around here — might be a good business opportunity...
Ask about Ray's whereabouts- Mr. Vulture: What? You're looking for someone? Hmm... I might have some clues for you.
- Mr. Vulture: I saw that missing woman before — she kept mumbling about investigating some abnormal zone, then ventured deeper into Hollow Zero by herself...
- Mr. Vulture: If you're going further in to find her, you'd better be mentally prepared. The Ethereals there are no pushovers.
- Mr. Vulture: But more importantly — how about we do some business?
- (Enter Bangboo Store)
- (Idle)
- Bangboo: En-nah-nah~ (Welcome, investigator~)
- Bangboo: Ehn-nu-nah~ (We're not responsible for anything after the merchandise leaves the counter~)
- Aidie: Ehn ahn-en-na-na! (It's you again! Need any help, Investigator?)
Ask about Ray- Aidie: Ehn-na en-neh, ehn-na! (So you're looking for a missing person? Erm...)
- Aidie: Ehn-na, ehn-na-neh! (She did exchange some goods with us. Said something about conducting an investigation...)
- Aidie: Ehn-na en-ehn-ahn-na! (We don't know much more than that... If you're looking for her, better bring supplies and be well-prepared!)
- (Enter Combat - Crisis on the Road)
- (Interact with Data Storage Device)
- Fairy: Master, I've read the data storage device here.
- Fairy: There's an additional encrypted file inside, one uploaded by Ray.
- Fairy: The style of encryption is fairly simple. Speculation: Ray left it for us intentionally.
Can we decode it?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): This must be the clue Ray mentioned. Any chance you can decipher the video data, Fairy?
- Fairy: Master, while you were busy chatting, I decrypted the password and extracted the video data.
- Fairy: Speculation: This might be a combat video recorded in the Hollow Zero.
- Moments later, Fairy plays the stored data and a familiar figure appears on the video.
- (Talk to Ray)
- Ray: Thank you for accepting my investigation request, Miss Miyabi. It's truly a personal career highlight to enlist the help of a Void Hunter.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Let's skip the pleasantries. What's the mission?
- Ray: It's a simple investigation of the Ether Anomaly Zone, commonly referred to as the Lost Void due to the frequent disappearances of investigators in that area.
- Ray: The Ether fluctuations there have been quite unusual as of late. They seem to be synchronizing with the frequencies deep within the Hollow.
- Ray: If we deploy a large-scale force for the investigation, prolonged operations may only serve to attract more Ethereals and cause unnecessary trouble.
- Ray: That's why we need someone like you, a powerful solo combatant, to smash through the Ethereal ranks and collect Ether samples in a short time.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Sounds simple enough — barely qualifies as practice for me.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: All I need to do is slash my way through.
- Ray: That may be an overly simplistic summary... but it doesn't matter as long as the goal is achieved.
- Ray: Oh, here are some gadgets for you. They might come in handy.
- (Obtain Hoshimi Miyabi's Exclusive Gear)
- (During combat)
- Ray: The Ether Anomaly Zone is nearby.
- Ray: We'll need to collect enough samples to complete this mission.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: This feels... so familiar.
- (Talk to Ray)
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Something isn't right up ahead.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: That familiar Ether disturbance... It feels similar to the Dark Wall.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: I'm afraid the investigation has to end here.
- Ray: What do you mean, Chief Miyabi?
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Anything involving the Dark Wall must be reported before we proceed.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: This is an agreement between Void Hunters.
- Ray: So this place is similar to the Dark Wall? And what was that about a Void Hunter agreement?
- Ray: Miss Hoshimi, what exactly...?
- Hoshimi Miyabi: ...
- Hoshimi Miyabi: I'm merely stating my judgment. Due to prior commitments, I can't get into the details.
- Ray: I see... In that case, let's call off the investigation for now.
- Ray: I'll find alternative methods to continue.
- After playing the stored data, the two siblings discuss the video they just saw.
Special Event
"The Reason for the Investigation"
Story Description: Ray's video featured Miyabi. Apparently, she sensed something unusual in the Ether Anomaly Zone... But to get to the bottom of this, we'll have to talk to Ray for the full story.
- (SiblingSibling): I didn't expect Miyabi to be involved in this... So she was the one who discovered that abnormal Ether zone.
- (SiblingSibling): But... why didn't she go investigate? And what's this "agreement between Void Hunters"?
There's so much we don't know...- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I still can't wrap my head around this... We'll probably have to ask Ray herself.I still can't wrap my head around this... We'll probably have to ask Ray herself. /
I feel like a lot of things aren't adding up. We'll have to find Ray and ask her.I feel like a lot of things aren't adding up. We'll have to find Ray and ask her.) - (SiblingSibling): The place in that recording is probably the abnormal Ether zone Ray wanted to investigate.
- (SiblingSibling): If we can get there, we might find some trace of Ray.
Perhaps Fairy can help?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Fairy, can you find the approximate direction of the abnormal Ether zone based on the Ether activity in this area?
- Fairy: Of course, Master. While you were leisurely watching your videotape, I have already scanned the surrounding Ether activity.
- Fairy: I will utilize the landmarks that appeared in the video to guide you in real-time.
- (SiblingSibling): That was fast! Good job, Fairy! I'll let the extra electric bill charges this month slide for now.
- (SiblingSibling): We better get going, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle). Let's find Ray.
- (Talk to Ray)
- Ray: For now, we should retrieve the Hollow observation data nearby..
- Ray: There's an observation point I previously set up nearby. I need to analyze its data to confirm whether my assumptions are correct.
- Ray: The area is swarming with Ethereals, though. We'll need to deal with them quickly.
- (Talk to Ray)
Special Event
"Movement in the Shadows"
Story Description: Ray suspects that the unusual behavior exhibited by the Ethereals is the result of the actions of a troublemaker operating from the shadows... You have to act fast to keep this from escalating any further.
- Ray: As expected... The results match my previous estimates exactly.
- Ray: I did some calculations before entering Hollow Zero. The results showed that the Ether activity here would peak soon. When that happens, it might draw in that powerful being...
- Ray: I'd say its threat level might be on par with Nineveh... No, perhaps even tougher to deal with.
- Ray: After all, it can manipulate Ethereals as its pawns, causing them to behave unpredictably and that's what's been catching us off guard.
I see...- (ProtagonistProtagonist): No wonder those Ethereals seem (unusually intelligent, they could almost take an IQ test.unusually intelligent, they could almost take an IQ test. /
smarter, like they're starting to grow brains!smarter, like they're starting to grow brains!) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): But what's this entity after, anyway?
- Ray: Its goal is likely to increase the Ether concentration here to set the stage for its own "descent."
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ...Descent?
- Ray: Yes. Just like how some fish can only survive in saltwater, that entity needs the surrounding Ether to be active enough to move from the depths of Hollow Zero to the outer areas.
- Ray: Increasing the number of Ethereals to amass Ether... That's what the entity is trying to do. It'll make its "descent" when the Ethereal population peaks, and the Ether activity is at its highest.
- Ray: But it's not too late yet. If we can lower the Ether activity in this area by eliminating Ethereals, we can stop it from manifesting and force it back to where it came from.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Eliminating Ethereals... Now that's a job I'm more than familiar with.
- Ray: This is why you're my most trusted independent investigator, so easy to work with.
- Ray: Now that we're on the same page, let's get ready to move. The data shows that entity is fast approaching.
- (After defeating the enemies)
Special Event
"The Failed 'Arrival'"
Story Description: After clearing out the Ethereals in the anomaly zone, the shadowy figure never revealed itself. Based on the intelligence she's gathered, Ray figures it must be the corrupted being known as "Geppetto." Luckily, you've managed to obtain some solid data during this investigation. Now, it's time to head back to the outpost to report the situation.
- Ray: Unbelievable, we actually did it!
- Ray: The surrounding Ether activity is dropping rapidly... That entity actually backed off!
- Ray: But... it disappeared so quickly. If only it had stayed a little longer, I could've gathered more data...
- Ray: Hm? What's with that look? Relax, I'm kidding.
- Ray: If it weren't for your timely arrival, I'd probably be Ethereal chow by now... Thank you, my most trusted Independent Investigation Team captain.
The unbearable weight of trust...- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The unbearable weight of trust... Could you give me something less intense next time?
- Ray: Well, even if you say that, an ace like you is someone I call on only in a crisis — just like this one.
- Ray: To be honest, I had anticipated that the abnormal Ether activity might bring trouble, but I didn't expect it to be that particular one...
- Ray: If I'm not mistaken, that corrupted being is the one labeled "Geppetto" in the database.
You know it?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Geppetto... That's its name?
- Ray: I believe so. I found some of its records when I hacked into the database. A lot of details match the data we just collected.
- Ray: Seems like the higher-ups at the White Star Institute know more than I thought. Perhaps I can access more info if I curb my rebellious streak and act like the obedient little researcher they want me to be...
Hacking into the database...- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Wait. You (hackedhacked /
hackedhacked) into the database? No wonder you got a warning... - Ray: Hey, it was for research purposes. Maybe my methods were a bit... extreme. But the results were good, and I even got details on Geppetto... You see, that's what we call "the end justifies the means."
- Ray: The fact that I'm still standing here chatting with you after hacking into the database says a lot about the higher-ups' attitude.
- Ray: They still need me to handle things in Hollow Zero, so they're turning a blind eye for now. Bringing back data on Geppetto will make me more useful to them.
- Ray: As for the connection between Hollow Zero and the Dark Wall... I should probably wait until things calm down before looking into it further.
- Ray: Plus... Those files on the first-generation Void Hunters really intrigue me. Why would the Institute lock those documents down...?
What exactly did you see?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): What exactly did you see in the database? I'd like to know the details.
- Ray: Unfortunately, it was just bits and pieces. I'll need time to work through it and verify it. I'll let you know once I have concrete conclusions.
- Ray: After all, there aren't many people I can trust these days — you being one of them.
- Ray: Don't worry, I'll tell you as soon as I have more information, my most trusted Independent Investigation Team captain.
What are you planning to do...?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Wait, what are you planning to do? Don't tell me you're going to hack into the database again!
- Ray: Oh, don't you worry about it. I'm simply planning to return to the outpost and do some perfectly normal research.
- Ray: But... Just the thought of having to deal with all those questions and paperwork once I get back is giving me a headache...
- Ray: And since I went into Hollow Zero without permission, the higher-ups will be furious. Even if they don't fire me, I'll be writing self-reflection reports for a month...
- Ray: Ugh, all I want is to analyze the data on Geppetto. I don't have time for all that...
- Ray: Oh, by the way, do you happen to have a self-reflection report template I can use? If you do, please send me a copy.
Write your own reports!- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Writing self-reflection reports isn't part of my job... You're on your own.Writing self-reflection reports isn't part of my job... You're on your own. /
No way! I'm not writing that for you!No way! I'm not writing that for you!) - Ray: Alright, alright, I was just joking. I'll have my Bangboo take care of trivial stuff like this. It's used to working overtime after my training.
- Ray: So, my most trusted Independent Investigation Team captain, it's time to take our Observation Data back to the outpost.
- Ray: Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility this time. The glory of being a hero is all yours!
