The Next Move
Video Summary: It's not over yet.
Story Description: After meeting up with Norma, Sigrid contacts the group to let them know that Shiyu Pillar No. 4 needs to be restarted to restore power. They decide to split up. Velina and Norma head out to handle the restart, while Billy and Cissia stay behind to keep the Bangboo calm.
- Weak Energyboo: Ehn-nah, ehn-ehn-nah! (Waaah... I'm scared...)
- Norma: I'd better run a few checkups on you first. Relax, a professional always keeps her tools on hand!
- Weak Energyboo: Ehn-nah ehn-nah! Ehn-nah! (No... don't touch me!)
- Norma: ...
- Edward: Norma's just trying to help you, so be nice to her... *sigh* Sorry about these little guys. They can be a handful sometimes.
How are the Bangboo doing?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): How are the Bangboo doing? Is there anything we can help with?
- Norma: Whoa, you guys got here fast. Nice work!
- Edward: Lady Velina! Oh, so you must be the ESD's guests, right?
- Velina: Director Edward, we're here with Airspace Patrol for backup. Sigrid's squad is taking another route to restore the power. What's the situation on your end?
- Edward: Oh, that's a relief... Don't worry, no human or Bangboo was seriously hurt. The little guys are just really stressed out by the Ether levels right now.
- Edward: It's kind of like someone with naturally high Ether aptitude suddenly losing it all at once... leaving them completely defenseless inside the Hollow...
- Norma: ...
- Edward: Ah, wait, no! I... I'm so sorry... that came out all wrong. The ESD is just swapping out the Bangboo's Logic Cores for their own safety.
- Norma: ...It's alright. I'll prove to everyone that the Logic Cores are perfectly safe. We can't have the little Bangboo freaking out!
- Norma: But before that... the Bangboo here really need a full checkup. We have to figure out a way to get them out of here...
- Velina: Alright then, let's compare notes first. Norma, tell us exactly what happened earlier.
- Norma: Hmm... I was working nearby this morning when my instruments suddenly picked up a massive Ether particle surge below us.
- Norma: I was planning to head back up first and report in, but then I ran into some injured Bangboo on the way... By the time I managed to bring everyone back here, the elevator had already lost power completely.
- Edward: Pretty much the same on my end. As soon as I noticed something was wrong, I headed straight for the dispatch station to check what was going on. That's where I ran into Norma. And honestly... the Ether concentration down below feels really abnormal.
- Edward: Before the whole island started shaking, I felt about three smaller tremors first. They were definitely coming from directly beneath the dispatch station.
- Velina: Which means the source of the Singularity Leakage is probably right underneath it.
- Just then...
- Sigrid: Calling Dispatch! Come in Dispatch! This is Shiyu Pillar 3, anyone copy?
- Velina: Sigrid! We're here! How are things on your end?
- Sigrid: Lady Velina? Perfect. Things are going pretty smooth on my end. With you all stationed in the control room, ther [sic] rest should go a lot smoother.
- Sigrid: We've finished our initial investigation. Looks like the tremors caused Shiyu Pillar 3 and 4 to overload and shut down. If we want to fully restore operations in the Energy Hub, we'll need to get both of them back online.
- Sigrid: We've already restarted Shiyu Pillar 3. Once Pillar 4 is back online, power distribution and the central elevator should both recover. The problem is, our route's blocked right now, so we can't reach it ourselves.
- Velina: Looking at the map, Shiyu Pillar 4 is actually pretty close to where we're at...
Let's go get Shiyu Pillar 4 back online.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): In that case, we'll just have to be the ones to reboot Shiyu Pillar 4!
- Velina: My thoughts exactly. Sigrid, why don't you let us take it from here?
- Sigrid: ...Very well. Just a heads-up, though: the Energy Hub still isn't completely stable, so watch your backs out there. Contact me immediately if anything happens. I'll talk to you guys later.
Alright, let's get moving.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Alright, let's get moving.
- Velina: But like Sigrid said, the Energy Hub still isn't stable. We should leave a few people here to help Edward.
- Velina: Billy, Cissia, could you two stay behind? Billy, you're an Intelligent Construct, so the Bangboo naturally trust you more. And Cissia's upbeat personality should help them relax a little.
- Billy: Makes sense! Good thinking!
- Cissia: Wow, Velina! I know I've got a ton of great qualities, but I didn't think you'd find one this fast!
- Cissia: I'm kinda worried about (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), though. (HeHe / SheShe) has to go with you guys to fix the Shiyu Pillar, right? - Velina: Yes, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)'s absolutely essential as our Proxy. And Norma and I know the Energy Hub better than anyone, so leave the rest to us. - Cissia: Hmm... alright! Billy and I will hold down the fort right here! Stay safe, and hurry back!
- (Ongoing)
- Norma: Let's get moving!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Alright, once we fix the Shiyu Pillar, we can send everyone back.
- (Idle)
- Billy: We'll be helping you all out from now on! Don't you worry, we're friendly!
- Cissia: I brought tons of snacks. I can share them with you!
- Medicboo: Ehn-nah, ehn-nah... (Uh, thank you...)
- (Listen in on Billy and Cissia, optional)
- Medicboo: Enne, en-nahna... (Huh, where'd Simon go? I haven't seen him in a bit...)
- Weak Energyboo: En-na, en-na! (Did he get lost?!)
- Cissia: Wait, what? Are we missing one of you?
- Medicboo: Ehnna... (I—I'm not really sure... Maybe he's just left for a moment?)
- Billy: Hmm... Well, in that case, let's scout the area first. Maybe he just needs some space.
- (Interact with the Data Terminal by the elevator, optional)
- (The elevator's stopped running due to power supply issues.)
- (Better think of another way.)
- (Approach the Dimensional Astrolabe, optional)
-
- (Open tutorial Universal View)
- (Arrive at the platform)
- Norma: Oh man, we can't get through up ahead!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Maybe we can use the Singularity Leakage to get past.
- (Ongoing)
- Fairy: Affirmative, Master's plan is viable.
- (After entering the Singularity Leakage)
-
- (Open tutorial [Character Intro] Norma)
- (Enter combat)
- Norma: Just a few hours apart, and not only did you manage to find yourself a cool new sidekick...
- Norma: You've even learned how handle Singularity Leakages!
- Norma: Show me more!
- (SiblingSibling): Looks like Norma's feeling better now, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle).
- (Tip)
- Control Norma and EX Special Attack to summon an En-Nah Turret.
- (After defeating the enemies)
- Norma: We can keep moving now!
- (Enter the tracks)
- Fairy: Notice: The area ahead has been severely impacted by the Singularity Leakage. Please remain cautious, Master.
- (Reach the Shiyu Pillar)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): This place isn't usually so... creepy, is it?
- (Approach the elevator)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Oh no, the elevator's broken. But the only way to access the maintenance panel is from upstairs...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (We'll have to find a way to fix it.)
- (Ongoing)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Let's try sending the drone to check it out.
- (Approach the elevator again)
-
- (Open tutorial Mobile Platform)
- Fairy: The platform is not powered. Deploy your drone to scout for any nearby batteries.
- (Approach the enemies on the other side)

- Hold to charge and aim at a nearby portable database, then release to detonate it.
- (Approach the generator)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Finally found the maintenance panel!
- (After charging the elevator)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): The elevator's fixed, let's keep moving!
- Norma: You're so reliable, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)!
- (Ride the elevator to the top)
- Velina: This area's been quite heavily damaged...
- (Enter combat)
- Velina: (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), your Etheric Other isn't putting too much strain on you, I hope? - (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm (fine.fine. /
fine!fine!) - (ProtagonistProtagonist): Or rather... it's like I can finally release all that (stress.stress. /
stress!stress!)
- (Arrive at the designated location)
- Norma: There's a ton of Corrupted mechs up ahead!
- Norma: Hurry and rescue those Bangboo!
- (Enter combat)
- Norma: Looks like I need to optimize the Corruption resistance of these mechs...
- Norma: Oh right... did you run into a lot of Corrupted Bangboo on your way over?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Just ones with some minor injuries.Just ones with some minor injuries. /
Actually, we didn't spot any Corrupted Bangboo.Actually, we didn't spot any Corrupted Bangboo.) - Norma: Phew... That's good.
- (After defeating all enemies)

Rebooting Shiyu Pillar
Video Summary: Deeper secrets still await.
Story Description: Shiyu Pillar No. 4 has been successfully rebooted. Norma then suggested investigating beneath the dispatch station for potential Clues. Billy and Cissia escort the Bangboo away, while the others prepared to head to the Lower-Level in search of the missing Bangboo, Simon.
- Shortly after, you head back to the dispatch station with Velina and Norma...
- Cissia: (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), you guys are finally back! These Bangboo are way too clingy! I'm totally out of stories to tell!
Hit a slight snag on the way.
Is everything back to normal around here?- (ProtagonistProtagonist): We hit a slight snag on the way. Is everything back to normal around here?
- Billy: Everything's running smoothly, Manager! The elevator sprang back to life just moments after you guys rebooted the Shiyu Pillar!
- Norma: Let's get the Bangboo on the elevator first. They need a full diagnostic ASAP.
- Cissia: Hmm, leave it to us! Hehe... C'mon, little Bangboo, time for your checkups~ Be good and hop in the elevator~
- Norma: Hmm... Veli, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), I keep thinking about what Edward said earlier. The source of the Singularity Leakage... there's definitely something underneath the dispatch station. - Norma: The victims from the previous incidents... they were all found near the source of the Singularity Leakages too.
- Norma: The Ether concentration down there is high, but I want to know... is there some other factor causing the Bangboo to get corrupted so quickly?
- Velina: What do you think, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)? If we're heading down there, we'll still need a Proxy with us.
I'm with Norma!- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm with (Norma.Norma. /
Norma!Norma!) The Bangboo's conditions mean a lot to her. And if there's a chance (of findingof finding / to findto find) a clue, we've gotta check it out. - Just then...
- Anxious Energyboo: Wah-nah, weh-nah-nah! (No, I'm not leaving!)
- Billy: Relax, we're trying to get you guys out of here! Nobody's gonna do anything to you.
- Anxious Energyboo: Ehn-na-na, wuh-na! (But... But Simon's not out yet! We gotta go with him!)
- Velina: Simon?
- Billy: It's the Energyboo who works nearby. We already helped search the area earlier, but we couldn't find him.
- Norma: Don't worry. Airspace Patrol's already combing the area, and we're about to head down and scope things out underneath the dispatch station ourselves. We'll find him, surely!
- Anxious Energyboo: Wah-neh... (R—Really? Are you guys actually gonna go look for him?)
Of course- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Of course. We're gonna help track down your friend, I promise.
- Anxious Energyboo: Wah-na nah... (I'll leave it to you, then...)
- Billy: Phew... finally got 'em all in the elevator. Manager, you sure you guys won't need backup from here on out?
- Cissia: Yeah, we could just catch up with you guys after dropping off the Bangboo!
We got this.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Relax. With Velina and Norma on the case, we're golden. Looking after the Bangboo is just as important, so we're leaving 'em in your capable (hands.hands. /
hands!hands!) - Billy: Hmm... since you put it like that, Manager, leave it to us! We'll get these little Bangboo back in one piece — not a single bolt missing!
- Cissia: Bangboo aren't like you! They don't just toss random parts everywhere!
- Billy: Ah... really? I'm always losing random bits and pieces of myself, so I figured it was pretty normal...
- Norma: Pfft...!
- Billy: Today's the first time I've seen Norma smile! You've got this, Manager. We're outta here!
- Billy and Cissia head out with the Bangboo. Not long after...
- Edward: Lady Velina, please head over to the elevator. The lower level is all clear.
- (Ongoing)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Let's take the elevator.
- (Interact with the Data Terminal)
- Please select the floor you wish to go to.
Head to the lower floor
- Velina: Next, we'll search for the missing Bangboo and look into the source of the Singularity Leakage.
Head to the upper floor
- Velina: It's not time to head back yet. Let's check out the bottom floor.
- (While going down)
- Norma: The lost Bangboo wouldn't have wandered down there, right?
- Velina: I doubt so.
- Velina: Edward said his work site is quite far from here.
- (After exiting the elevator)
-
- (The Turret Mech points towards the group)
- Velina: Watch out! Get to cover now!
- (Ongoing)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): This thing's scary!
- (Tips)
- Watch out for the Turret Mech's homing missiles
- (If the homing missiles hit)
- Norma: Hey, snap out of it!
- (Approach the Singularity Leakage)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It's the Singularity Leakage!
- (Enter the Singularity Leakage)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): That mech... looks like it's been hit pretty hard by the Corruption...
- (Approach the Turret Mech)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (WaitWait /
No wayNo way), this thing can shape-shift?!
Defeat the mutated heavy fire mech
- (While fighting the Airspace Sentinel)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I've been meaning to ask: What exactly is this mech anyway?
- Norma: Uh... This is the heavy firepower combat mech I tried building before!
- Norma: But Veli said it was too dangerous for the Bangboo, so we switched it to an autonomous one!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I think it's too dangerous even as an autonomous (mech...mech... /
mech!mech!)
- (When the Airspace Sentinel reaches less than 50% HP)
- Velina: ...Norma, your project proposal... didn't mention anything about changing forms, did it?
- Norma: Uh... Well, I kinda got some ideas halfway through, so... I just threw 'em in...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Norma's tech skills... are (terrifying.terrifying. /
terrifying!terrifying!)
- (When the Airspace Sentinel reaches 10% HP)
- Norma: Come on, just a little more to go!
- (Defeat the Airspace Sentinel)
Brief Recovery

Brief Recovery
Video Summary: Fix one issue, and a whole new set of problems appears.
Story Description: With the turret Mech's destruction, the Ether Disorder in the Energy Hub seems to have temporarily returned to normal. Just then, everyone spots a Strange [sic] Bangboo...
- Norma: Phew... huff... Finally... finally done. Sorry... I might've gone a little overboard with this thing's power...
Phew... it's okay...- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Huff... huff, I'm good... my stamina... should hold out... probably.Huff... huff, I'm good... my stamina... should hold out... probably. /
Huff... puff... it's okay... Good thing my stamina and combat skills are on a whole other level these days.Huff... puff... it's okay... Good thing my stamina and combat skills are on a whole other level these days.) - Velina: Norma, the Ether concentration around here has dropped quite a bit. Let's get an exact reading.
- Norma: No problem! I always carry a local Ether concentration scanner on me! I even upgraded it myself, cut the margin of error by around thirty percent.
- Norma: Let me see... judging by the detector readings, the Ether concentration here is dropping.
- Velina: Which means... this whole event should blow over pretty quick.
- Norma: Yeah, which is good news. but tracking down the Singularity Leakage's ground zero is gonna be a real headache.
- Norma: And since it's been so long since the Singularity Leakage happened, there aren't many traces left at the scene anymore.
- Norma: Otherwise, we might've been able to follow the breadcrumbs...
- Velina: ...Hold up, look over there. There's something on the ground...
- Norma: Is that... a Bangboo?!

Simon's Last Words
Video Summary: Listen to the voice of the "Angel."
Story Description: The missing Bangboo Simon is found, but Norma's rescue attempt comes too late. Extracting Simon's final words from the audio cache reveals a possible connection to the angel.

- Heavily Damaged Bangboo: ...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It's an Energyboo... Wait, don't tell me this is Simon? The one that went missing?
- Norma: He's in bad shape. Lemme take a look!
- Norma: ... His logic core voltage is down to 2 volts. I'm gonna pop the casing and try to juice him up!
- Norma: !!!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): There's so much corruption! The entire Logic Core is already...
- Velina: If it's this bad... it's already too late...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ("Too late"... So this Bangboo is (alreadyalready)... dead? Meaning the Singularity Leakage in the Energy Hub just claimed another victim.)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): ((Norma and the ESD were under a ton of pressure before.Norma and the ESD were under a ton of pressure before. /
The ESD and Norma were already under a ton of pressure.The ESD and Norma were already under a ton of pressure.) Is this just gonna add fuel to the fire...?) - Norma: Hold up! His Logic Core is totally fried, but there's still data in the audio cache! Let me pull it up real quick and translate it into human language!
- Heavily Damaged Bangboo: ...
- Heavily Damaged Bangboo: ...An...Angel... I think... I see you...[Note 1]
