Behind the Breakdown
Special Event
"Behind the Breakdown"
Story Description: In the dream of Darkwater Research Center, you meet Yidhari again. To help untangle her emotions, everyone decides to uncover the truth about what happened at Darkwater Research Center back then.
- Yidhari: Proxy, you're here...
Explain the previous incorrect assumptions- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm sorry, Yidhari. (I misunderstood the situation earlier.I misunderstood the situation earlier. /
I had it all wrong!I had it all wrong!) Your parents didn't abandon you... - Yidhari: Yeah, I know. I remembered the moment I saw that ticket...
- Yidhari: It was my childish impulse. I boarded the ship just to deliver a gift, and that's what caused all of this.
- Yidhari: Though I'm not sure what exactly happened... they never made it out of the Hollow.
- Lucia: Oh, don't say that! Maybe they escaped and are still looking for you...
- Disagree with Yidhari
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Yeah! The expansion of the Outer Ring Hollow is a consequence of the Hollow Zero disaster. The one responsible for that is also to blame for your parents' disappearance.
- Yidhari: Thank you, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle). And thank you all for your hard work, coming into my dream over and over again, trying to bring me out. - Yidhari: But please, go back now...[Note 1]
- Lucia: L–Leave?
- Yidhari: I need to understand what really happened at the Darkwater Research Center... As Dr. Lydia said, we must clean the wound before it can heal. But this is my issue, and I've already burdened you all too much.
- Yidhari: Once I finish my investigation, I'll wake up on my own, if I can. You don't need to worry...
- No, we'll search for the truth together.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): No, Yidhari. We're here for a reason. We'll help you figure out what happened at Darkwater Research Center.
- Yidhari: Thank you, really... But, I don't know what painful memories might resurface, or what dangers lie ahead...
- Lucia: It's fine! I'm already an Ethereal Combat Master! And if Strawberry Parfait doesn't make it back safely, Yuzuha and Alice will give us an earful!
- Komano Manato: Uh, right... I know Yuzuha. If you don't wake up, she'll probably sneak into your dream and find a way to pull some pranks on you.
- Yidhari: Heh, thanks, everyone... I was just looking at the scattered lab equipment nearby. I think we can start our investigation there.
- (Interact with the Terminal, optional)
- The terminal displays experimental data and target: **Experiment Name**: Anti-Corruption Enhancement Serum-AVX-lv426
- **Experiment Objective**: To significantly enhance test subject soldiers' aptitude for Ether through specialized Ether stimulation.
- Soldier? Enhancement?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Looks like what they're making here isn't just a simple anti-corruption serum... It's more like an enhancement for TOPS' private forces.)
- (Interact with the Terminal Info next to Yidhari, optional)
- Personnel Transfer Request: Darkwater Research Center AVX Division Senior Researcher - Angel & Wayland Murphy
- Approval Status: Approved and confirmed.
- Transfer request?
- Yidhari: Yeah... Looks like the day I went to Darkwater Research Center was also the day my parents were going to leave...
- Yidhari: Talk about a trick of fate...
- Hari...
- Yidhari: I'm fine, just feeling a bit sentimental...
- (Interact with the Scattered Receipts next to Manato, optional)
- The experiment materials are covered in rejected receipts, with only the shipment from Port Elpis successfully making it through.
- According to the records in the notes, it seems that because the Eridu government banned research in this area, they had to rely on sea routes through the poorly regulated Port Elpis.
- Komano Manato: Yikes, why do I get the feeling some shady research is going down here...
- Komano Manato: Embargoed cargo, labs in the middle of nowhere, and research periods that only let you go home once a month.
- I feel like, isn't this...
- Most likely some illegal research.
- (Idle)
- Lucia: Everyone, come quick!
- Lucia: I think I found some experiment footage!
- (Talk to Lucia)
Lingering Phantoms of the Past
Special Event
"Lingering Phantoms of the Past"
Story Description: In the dream of Darkwater Research Center, two experimental videos were found, revealing that Yidhari was corrupted by Ether shortly after entering the facility, and her parents used experimental equipment to do everything they could to save her.
- Lucia: Look, the equipment over here seems to contain two lab recordings.
- Lucia: It belongs to Angel Murphy. That's Yidhari's mother! Quick, let's play it.
- Play the first recording
- After a crackle of static and some flickering on the screen, a lab recording begins to play before you.
- Angel Murphy: It's hard to believe, but we've been working here for three years. Now that we're leaving, it feels so surreal...
- Angel Murphy: I once thought I could achieve something great, but in the end, my research became a weapon used for evil.
- Wayland Murphy: Hey now. If we can take care of Hari and make up for the three years we've missed in her life, then it will all be worth it.
- Wayland Murphy: Wait, the security department just messaged. They said Gu brought Hari to the center and that she wants to celebrate your birthday with you!
- Angel Murphy: Ah! That little squiggly bean... Didn't I tell her to stay home and rest?!
- Wayland Murphy: It'll be fine! It's our last day here anyway. I'll ask security to make an exception and let us spend the day together as a family for your birthday.
- Wayland Murphy: You just said we accomplished nothing in these last three years. But to me, Hari is our greatest achievement.
- The first recording come [sic] to an end, and Yidhari remains frozen in place, staring at the screen.
- Lucia: So, our conclusion earlier was correct... Yidhari really did make it to Darkwater Research Center back then.
- Ask about Yidhari's condition
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Yidhari, are you alright? Do you need to take a break?
- Yidhari: No, I'm fine... Let's play the next recording...
- Play the next recording
- The video occurs in the same lab, but this time, red alarm lights are flashing, and the sound of a Hollow alert echoes endlessly...
- Alert! Alert! Outer Ring Hollow expansion detected. Ether concentration at the center has exceeded safe levels. All personnel, please evacuate immediately. All personnel, please evacuate immediately.
- Wayland Murphy: Hurry! Clear the test bench now!
- Angel Murphy: What's going on? Wayland? The Hollow suddenly expanded... What happened to Hari...?
- Wayland Murphy: I just got her past security when the Outer Ring Hollow expanded out of control. She inhaled too many Ether particles and she's in bad shape right now.
- Wayland Murphy: Give Hari an inhibitor shot first. I'll go grab the protective suits. We need to leave immediately!
- Angel Murphy: O—Okay...
- Wayland Murphy: Those TOPS bastards! They even took all the protective gear!
- On the screen, a weak voice from young Yidhari whispers, "Mommy..."
- Angel Murphy: Huh... What's wrong, sweetheart?
- Young Yidhari's voice grows weaker: "Mommy... happy birthday... can we... go home now?"
- Angel Murphy: Yes, yes, we're going home right now.
- Wayland Murphy: Yes, don't worry, sweetheart. Mommy and Daddy will take you home!
- The recording ends, and Yidhari's sorrowful, uneasy expression is reflected on the dark screen...
- Lucia: Uh... Well...
- Yidhari: It's okay, no need to say anything... Let's keep going. I need to know what happened next...
Alright, let's throw down! Hold up a sec.- (Talk to Lucia again, if exited)
- Komano Manato: Back already? Let's team up and take them down!
- Alright! Let's throw down!
- Wait a sec.
- (Talk to Yidhari after exiting the terminal, optional)
- Yidhari: (Wise...Wise... /
Belle...Belle...) I'm so glad you're here... - Hari... she'll definitely wake up.
