 Listen to Foreman Thomas' concerns

---

It's another ordinary day, a day filled with renewed energy for everyone at the Brant Street Construction Site!
...However, Foreman Thomas appears distressed. What happened?

Brant Street Construction Site

(Idle)

Foreman Thomas: Where on earth...

(Talk to Foreman Thomas)

Foreman Thomas: What do I do... Where on earth...

Have you lost something?

(Continue commission)

(I don't think we can help. Let's go)

(Exit dialogue)

Foreman Thomas: Ah! It's you... You are... Um, you look familiar!

I know Ben and the others really well!

We've met plenty of times!

Foreman Thomas: We're friends then! So... could you please do me a favor, friend?

Of course!

A favor?

Foreman Thomas: Yesterday, I sent two rookie drivers to pick up a shipment. They should have been back by now,
but there's still no signs of them... It's like they've just vanished!

Foreman Thomas: I have to go find them, but I can't leave my post...

Leave it to me!

I'll go find them!

Foreman Thomas: It's all my fault... I shouldn't have sent two rookies... What if they got lost inside the Hollow?!

What are the coordinates for the route?

Should I search inside the Hollows?

Foreman Thomas: No, no! Can you ask around the construction site first? I've got this strange feeling...
I think they're back!

Foreman Thomas: I know I've forgotten something important, but my gut is telling me...

If you say so!

I trust your gut feeling!

Foreman Thomas: Thank you!

(Idle)

Foreman Thomas: I hope you bring me good news, friend...

Foreman Thomas: What did I forget...?

(Talk to Foreman Thomas again, optional)

Foreman Thomas: Are they back?

Not yet...

Foreman Thomas: Oh! It's all my fault! Don't tell me they've gotten lost in the Hollow...

 Seek assistance from the construction staff

---

Turns out the truck drivers have gone missing... This definitely doesn't sound good!
Since Foreman Thomas mentioned having a vague impression, let's ask around at the construction site.

Brant Street Construction Site

(Idle)

Ironhead: This one! But I'd like to have something spicier...

Li: Then how about... a braised fish bento?

(Talk to Kaidou)

Kaidou: I'm afraid this type of fish won't taste very nice when braised.

Ironhead: Hmm... Let me see...

Hello...?

Excuse me.

Li: Huh? What's going on?

Have you seen two truck drivers around?

Li: Truck drivers...? Oh! Are you talking about those two newcomers?

Kaidou: Those two... I don't think I've seen them today.

Ironhead: Let me think... Ah! I'm pretty sure I heard the freight truck coming back today.

Li: They should be somewhere around the construction site, I think.

Thanks for the info!

Li: You're welcome.

(Idle)

Ironhead: What are you getting, Li?

Li: I haven't decided...

Kaidou: Wanna check out this fish I got in recently...?

(Idle)

Builderboo: Ehn-nah, ah-noo-nah! (We made really good progress this week. Next week, we can be even faster!)

(Talk to the Builderboo)

Builderboo: Ehn-nah-nah... (Who knows when everything will finally be finished...)

Hello?

Excuse me.

Builderboo: Ehn-nah? (You don't work here... Can I help you with something?)

Have you seen two truck drivers around?

Builderboo: Ehn? Ehn-nah-noo... (Truck drivers? I don't think I've seen them...)

What about trucks, have you seen any trucks today?

Builderboo: Ehn-ehn-nah, ehn-nah? (Truck? ...Weren't those supplies from yesterday already back this morning? Why are you still looking for the truck?)

Thanks for the info!

Builderboo: Ehn-nah-noo! (That's okay! If you need anything, just hit up Builderboo any time!)

(Idle)

Builderboo: Ehn-nah... Ehn... (Now where exactly did I leave those parts... Let me think...)

(Idle)

Kaede: I—is this something I can really handle by myself...?

(Talk to Kaede)

Kaede: Where did they go...

Are you looking for someone too?

Are you looking for the drivers too?

Kaede: What drivers?

Kaede: I didn't know what to do, so I wanted to ask my boss... but I'm not sure where he went.

Kaede: Can I help you?

Have you seen two truck drivers around?

Kaede: Yeah, I've seen them.

Where?!

Kaede: I'm not sure... I just have this blurry memory of having seen them today...
But I was busy looking for my boss, so I didn't really pay much attention to things.

Alright... thanks!

(I guess that makes sense since she's new)

Kaede: Sorry, I'm not very familiar with people around here yet.

Kaede: All the best with finding your people! I have to go look for my boss too.

(Idle)

Kaede: So much for "guiding me step-by-step"...

Kaede: Where on earth did he disappear to?

 Inform Foreman Thomas about your findings

---

The good news is that everyone confirmed the return of the trucks, but the bad news is that no one has seen the drivers...
I wonder which piece of news Foreman Thomas would prefer to hear first?

Brant Street Construction Site

(Idle)

Foreman Thomas: They're two big guys. Where on earth could they have gone...

(Talk to Foreman Thomas)

Foreman Thomas: Did you find them yet?

No...

They should still be on the construction site.

Foreman Thomas: *sigh* It's all my fault!

Foreman Thomas: I knew they were both rookies. Why did I send them on that Hollow route?

Foreman Thomas: Now I don't even know where they've gone... and I don't even know how I'm gonna find them!

Foreman Thomas: I had other plans for today too, but now I can't focus on anything else...
Every time I see a truck, I can't help but worry about where those guys might be...

Every time you see what?

What truck?

Foreman Thomas: Hey! The truck — the truck is right here!
If the truck is back... then they should have made it back, too!

I'll go look for them now!

I feel like I missed something...

Foreman Thomas: Sure, thanks!

(Idle)

Foreman Thomas: Oh yeah, the truck is back...

Foreman Thomas: So where could the drivers have gone... It's not like the truck could have left them behind in the Hollow!

(Talk to Foreman Thomas again, optional)

Foreman Thomas: You found them?!

Not yet.

I'll be done soon...

Foreman Thomas: Thank you for trying... *sigh* I simply cannot leave my position here...

 Find out what Ricky is talking about

---

Since all the trucks have returned, perhaps I should check the trucks for any potential clues...
Hmm...? Someone is standing near one of the trucks! Could they possibly know something?

Brant Street Construction Site

(Idle 1)

Kaidou: I think this is everything...

Li: Yeah!

Ironhead: Please deliver it as soon as possible!

(Idle 2)

Builderboo: Ehn-nah... (Oh yeah, the truck...)

Builderboo: Ehn-nah-noo? (Have we run repairs on the freight truck yet?)

(Idle 3)

Kaede: How about... I give it a try myself?

Kaede: But could this really work...?

(Interact with the toilets, optional)

(What's going on behind the bathroom door... Why are they having a conversation in there?)

(I've searched everywhere else...)

*knock* *knock*

E—Excuse me...

Voice Inside the Door: Quit knocking! Can't you see that the door's locked!

Voice Inside the Door: It's occupied!!!

(Um, I better just leave.)

---

(Idle)

Ricky: How much longer do you need!

(Talk to Ricky)

Ricky: Hey... Kid, you don't look like you're from around here. You're not a worker on this site, are you?

Ricky: Could I please trouble you with something?

Ricky: It's just... *sigh*! It's just, these two people in the toilet...

Ricky: Someone's in the bathroom for a long time!

Ricky: Could you go check what's going on in there?
I really don't want to interfere with other people's business... but I—I can't hold on forever!

Sure...

Huh?

Ricky: *sigh* We're all coworkers here, so it's kinda awkward for me to knock on the door...

Ricky: Since you don't work here, could you help me out?

(Idle)

Ricky: Who's in there...?

Ricky: Taking a break is fine... but it's been too long!

 Investigate the area around the restroom

---

Although there are some unusual noises around the restroom area... it seems strange for an outsider to disturb the workers while they're using the restrooms...
Nevertheless, I might go unnoticed if I tread cautiously, right?

Brant Street Construction Site

(Idle)

Toilet 1: Hey! Why did you...

Toilet 2: Shhh. Quiet!

(Interact with the toilets)

(Guess I'll check the bathroom again...)

Voice Inside the Door: You missed...

Voice Inside the Door: I missed? Who just spent half an hour taking aim with a sniper rifle?

Voice Inside the Door: Shut up and watch it!

Voice Inside the Door: Ah! He's @*&#$!

Voice Inside the Door: NO!!!

Voice Inside the Door: ...Hang on!
Isn't it about time we get back and check on the truck?

Voice Inside the Door: Eh, it's fine. We just finished a Hollow trip this morning, and nobody saw us coming back.
If cap can't find us, he'll just think we were held up on the way.

Voice Inside the Door: One more! And be a little more accurate this time, would you!

(Well, looks like we've found our truck drivers...)

(Idle)

Toilet 1: Go! What are you waiting for?

Toilet 2: Wait! Just wait first!

(Interact with the toilets again, optional)

(Those guys certainly sound like they're very invested in what they're doing in there...)

Voice Inside the Door: Hey, don't just stand there! What are you waiting for!

Voice Inside the Door: I'm here!

 Inform Foreman Thomas about the noises in the restroom

---

Now, it's time to be the bad guy and report those slacking workers to their foreman!
It's just to make Foreman Thomas, feel at ease...

Brant Street Construction Site

(Talk to Ricky, optional)

Ricky: So? Whoever's in there, they're not using the bathroom for bathroom things, are they?

Yup.

You're so perceptive.

Ricky: Hmph, I knew it!
Kids nowadays, using my old tricks to slack off, they even took my spot...

Ricky: Um, what I mean is... this behavior is simply outrageous! They're completely ignoring the rules and our work progress!

Ricky: Look at Builderboo — he cares so much about our progress that he updated the project management plug-in multiple times!
Don't these slackers feel guilty?!

(Talk to Foreman Thomas)

Foreman Thomas: Back so soon? Did you find those two yet?

Yeah...

Foreman Thomas: (Are they all right...?)

They're safe, but the game doesn't seem to be going so well.

They're fine, though the gaming environment is a little cramped.

Foreman Thomas: Huh? What's that supposed to mean? Where did they run off to?

They were playing video games in the bathroom.

Foreman Thomas: What? That is completely unacceptable!
I've been looking for them for so long... You can bet I'll be teaching them a lesson!

I heard shots go off in the bathroom.

Foreman Thomas: Gunshots?! Are there rebels? Gangsters? What's going on?! Everyo— Huh? Why are you looking at me like that...
Ohhh! You mean they're playing a shooting game in the bathroom at work... *ahem*! That's a serious violation! I'll have to teach them a lesson!

Foreman Thomas: Thanks, you've really helped me out today...

You're welcome.

Foreman Thomas: Hmph, I'll have a to think of a good way to put them in their place.

Foreman Thomas storms off in anger toward...
Here's wishing those brave "soldiers" all the best.
