As plans for the evacuation began, unmanned probes were sent into deep space to find a habitable planet. When a potential site was discovered, the first interstellar transport ship, Pioneer 1, was sent to establish a colony. Pioneer 1 confirmed that the Planet Ragol was a suitable location, and the initial colonists started preparing the planet for the main wave of refugees, beginning with the construction of the Central Dome. 7 years later... Pioneer 2 completed its long voyage with the main wave of refugees aboard. But as Pioneer 2 entered orbit and opened a communications link with the Central Dome, an enormous explosion shook the entire planet. All contact with the thousands of men and women of Pioneer 1 was lost... [In PSOv2, "The Whole New World" is played with lyrics.] Innumerable stars Won't tell us where to go It's a long long run To the palace in the sun With hopes and dreams Our ship will cross the sea To the whole new world Shining like a Pearl The whole new world ===================================================== Principal's Office ===================================================== Principal - Are you [NAME], the [CLASS]? I'm Principal Tyrell. We have a bad situation... We need to act quickly. Did you hear about the explosion on Ragol? Very well. Pay attention and listen to me. We've lost contact with Pioneer 1. We have no idea what has happened. We've sent unmanned search units, but communication seems to cut off near the surface. What happened on Ragol? What occured on Pioneer 1? Are the people on board alive? The council made a decision to send a manned search team. You are a skilled Hunter. We need your help. We have no choice... We need a place to settle on. [Pause] Uh, could you... ...... ...No, it's nothing. Take care and good luck. - I didn't say anything. Go talk to my secretary. Irene will help you. - We can't return to our planet. Now we must emigrate to Ragol. If we don't settle on Ragol, then we'd just drift about in space forever... I'm putting my trust in you. Irene - Well, let me brief you on your mission. Once you're on the surface of Ragol, check the status of the residential area. Checking the status of the Central Dome is a good idea. A transporter was launched earlier. You can go down to Ragol directly from the city. It may be a little risky, so please be careful. That's all. ...... Um, excuse me... Oh, sorry... no, nothing. I wish you the best of luck. - This is just between us, OK? The Principal's daughter was on Pioneer 1. After that explosion, he's been constantly worrying about her. He can't even sleep. This is a personal request. If it's possible... Find out what happened to her. He isn't in a position to ask you such a personal favor. Red Ring Rico... A famous hunter and a top scientist on Pioneer 1. Rico's his only daughter. Please, look for her! - Red Ring Rico is the principal's daugher. I hope she's safe... Scientist Behind Desk - Our planet was tearing itself apart, we couldn't stop it. So we started searching for a new planet, and we found Ragol with unmanned search units. A huge interstellar transport ship was sent to Ragol. That was Pioneer 1. Pioneer 1 confirmed Ragol as a suitable location to settle on. And a second ship departed. That was us... Pioneer 2. Oh, sorry. You already knew that. - Pioneer 1 and 2 are identical spaceships. Each Pioneer can travel in space, holding 30,000 people. Scientist - When our ship was led by the signal from Pioneer 1 to land on Ragol, we saw... that strange explosion! Pioneer 2 decided to orbit Ragol and collect data before landing on the surface. - I was against the immigration! If a planet dies, the people have to die with it. Don't you think so? ===================================================== Pioneer 2 ===================================================== Women - The explosion occured just after the landing announcement. The news spread very quickly among the citizen levels. The people who have family on Pioneer 1 are worried. - The Hunter's Guild... We generally call all Hunters, Rangers and Forces just "hunters." The Guild is a place for hunters to get a lot of information. They also assist hunters by finding jobs at the counter. They aren't a local office of the government. They're totally independent. They have total extraterritoriality inside the Guild. Men - Tell me, tell me, tell me! What happened? How are they? We have no info at all! Without any info, we can't go on! Your mission is important! - Pioneer 1... is anyone still alive? - Ah, I miss her... Did you know that Red Ring Rico was on board Pioneer 1. They asked her to go because she's a great scientist, but she's also a famous hunter. I believe that she can deal with any emergency situation, but that explosion was HUGE... Ah, I really miss her... - Rico loved the color red. She always wore something red. The red armlet on her left arm left an impression on people. So that's why we call her Red Ring Rico. Well, she must be alive. I know how tough she is. Guards - This area is for A rank hunters who sometimes take part in secret missions. It is isolated from other areas for security reasons. Thank you for understanding. Take this transporter for instance. It has direct access to Ragol. But access is restricted. Only a few hunters are permitted to use it. - Pioneer 2 departed after Pioneer 1 confirmed that Ragol was suitable for colonization. Because of Pioneer 1's report, we only brought a small army and very few weapons. Did we take too big a risk? Nurse - Busy, busy! People in this area are always getting themselves hurt. It's OK though. If it's just a wound, we can heal them. Woman in Shop - Have you met the tekkers? To discover the true power of an unknown item, it must be examined by them. But you can't always believe them. Each tekker has its own specialty. ===================================================== Rico's Message Pods - Forest 1 ===================================================== - Ah, testing, testing... Cough! I'm Rico, Rico Tyrell. I'm a hunter. This capsule is for anyone who has come here looking for me. I hope this helps you. I don't know who you are, but you must know that there's something unusual about Ragol. This is important. Pay attention to everything around you if you want to survive. - Disable the laser fences by using the colored switches. - What made the animals become so violent all of a sudden? They weren't before. They were very quiet and friendly... There must be some cause. I'll find it. I know I'm a fool. This won't make me any richer. Perhaps that's why I'm exalted by them... Red Ring Rico, ha, ha. But I'm not really the great hunter citizens say I am. They needed a hero. And I just happened to fill that position. - Wow... bodies of dead animals... We hunters sometimes use firearms, but this... They were killed by firearms that are much stronger than ours! Normal/Hard/Very Hard Pods: - Boomas... I don't like their weird faces. Be careful, you don't want to get surrounded by them. - Red gates are locked. Green means they're open. Of course you knew that... - Mothmants will keep appearing, one after another. You have to strike them out at the root. - Don't show your back to a Savage Wolf! It'll attack if it sees this opening. - Rag Rappies are cowards, but they like to attack straight on. When a Rag Rappy falls down, it may still be alive. So be careful. Ultimate Pods: - Bartles... I don't like their weird faces. Be careful, you don't want to get surrounded by them. - Everytime I get an abnormal status, I wish I were an android. Androids can optimize themselves, so they hit with greater accuracy. More than anything, it's great that they can set traps. Wish I could... - Mothverts will keep appearing, one after another. You have to strike them out at the root. - Don't turn your back on a Gulgus, otherwise it'll pounce on you. You might get paralyzed if you get bitten. - El Rappies are cowards, but they like to attack straight on. When an El Rappy falls down, it may still be alive. So be careful. ===================================================== Rico's Message Pods - Forest 2 ===================================================== - A disaster occurred. Things were shaking, then something broke through the surface. And then it exploded in the Central Dome! I don't know what to say... For 7 years, we've tried to adjust and improve the environment. What was it? Was it related to the accidents we've had recently? - Look for a switch to activate the bridge! - I heard that this tall column was built to commemorate the immigration of Pioneer 1. But... it may just be me, but it doesn't look very new. And these patterns... aren't they characters? - Tactics are important, but strategy is vital. You have to think about how you can put yourself into an advantageous situation. Look, learn, analyze and judge. Think carefully. - Pioneer 1 may have damaged the ecological system of Ragol before we were aware of it. So, the native creatures tried to remove the invaders. That's one supposition. But what about the explosion!? I need more information. I have to go do some research. - No. It won't open. It might be easier to look for another way to get in. Normal/Hard/Very Hard Pods: - If you can't hit a Hildebear, try standing in front of it. Of course, I don't miss. Ultimate Pods: - Watch out For Hildelt's lightning attack. I prefer NOT to get electrocuted. ===================================================== Pioneer 2 after dragon is defeated ===================================================== Soldiers - We'll check all the data you send, but you still need to report to him. - The Principal is waiting for you. You may enter his room. Women - The government hasn't made an official statement. Why!? - Regardless of the problem, most of out troubles are taken care of by hunters. Cases that need an army rarely occur. Pioneer 2 doesn't have a big army, so sometimes hunters handle the big cases. Hunters work together when given this opportunity, though they prefer working alone. Men: - Nobody on Pioneer 1 was found on the surface? Perhaps they're taking refuge somewhere... Or...? No, no! It can't be. - Did you know? I heard that somebody was sent to do some research on Ragol and that they finally... found a message from Red Ring Rico! She must be alive, she must! Don't you think so? - If I wear a red armlet maybe I'll have the same courage ...as Rico. I know it's a silly idea. Ha, ha. ===================================================== Principal's Office after dragon is defeated ===================================================== Principal - The... The dragon, did it attack you!? You think the native animals on Ragol attacked Pioneer 1 to defend their territory... It's possible... But why did it happen all of a sudden? Continue investigating please. - Rico! No, I didn't say anything. Please continue your research. Irene - I heard that you found messages from Rico. But she's still missing. Please, please find her as soon as you possibly can! Please! Scientist Behind Desk - A huge dragon!? No data. Pioneer 1 didn't mention it in their report... We didn't know Ragol was such a dangerous planet! - As a scientist, I'm very interested in the ecological system of Ragol... But as a citizen I'm frightened. ===================================================== Pioneer 2 after dragon is defeated and after talking to Principal ===================================================== Soldier - Do we always need to look sad or serious when we're in trouble? Even when you're in a lot of trouble, remain calm. I like it. It makes you seem professional. It's very cool. - People in this area have no sense of this crisis at all! This immigration plan is the key to our future!! I don't trust hunters. They treat their jobs like... as if they were going shopping. ===================================================== Rico's Message Pods - Caves 1 ===================================================== - Wow... this cave is a treasure trove of discoveries. Creatures that have never been discovered by people. Completely unknown animals. They look like mutant forms of the native animals... Perhaps the government has kept this a secret...? It's possible... but for what purpose? - The Nano Dragon is a fierce monster. It becomes stronger as it kills others. I suggest you defeat it as quickly as possible. - If you hear an alert, be careful! There must be land mines around you. You can detect them if you use the Trap Vision. Normal/Hard/Very Hard Pods: - Be careful of the Poison Lily's poisonous spit. - Evil Sharks attack in obvious straight movement patterns. Don't get surrounded. - The attack range of the Grass Assassin is wide. Move quickly to enter its blind spot! Ultimate Pods: - Be careful of the Ob Lily's poisonous spit. - Vulmers attack in obvious straight movement patterns. Don't get surrounded. - The attack range of the Crimson Assassin is wide. Move quickly to enter its blind spot! ===================================================== Rico's Message Pods - Caves 2 ===================================================== - You may find yourself trapped by a parasite mine in the ground. To free yourself, ask someone to hit you with a technique or a gun. - Pofuilly Slime tends to attack at close range. That's not good for Rangers and Forces. Be careful. - I never imagined that a trap would look like a switch! How devious! - I know that Pioneer 1 had some strange aspects to it. In the data that I procured, the consumption rate was much higher than the population... Perhaps there were a lot of non-registered citizens onboard. Why? What was their purpose? - My first question about Ragol was, "Why didn't any sentient life exist here?" But... look at this monument! This is identical to the one I saw in the forest! It's NOT ours though... Was there an ancient civilization on Ragol? But these monuments are the only evidence I see... It'd be strange if there was a civilization, indeed... Can I decipher the characters with my simple tools? - Ah, the characters on the monument... I don't have any idea how to proceed. I need more samples. ===================================================== Rico's Message Pods - Caves 3 ===================================================== - Pan Arms are a little tricky. They get stronger when they combine. But they're really quick when separated. Don't panic, OK? - I saw it with my own eyes. An animal metamorphosed when it was pierced by a tentacle from that giant worm. Were the monsters I saw in the cave all changed by that giant worm? - I've got such mixed emotions... I'm scared, but excited, inspired even! Should I act as a scientist now? Or should I act as a hunter who is facing unknown enemies? I feel like someone's herding me somewhere... but where? To the underground... I feel like I'm being invited. ===================================================== Pioneer 2 after De Rol Le is defeated ===================================================== Women - 2 years have passed since Pioneer 2 left home. I thought that I could finally stand on real ground... The planet is just in front of us, but... - Some hunters get their jobs directly from the government. The government usually offers jobs as a last resort since Pioneer 2 has little to offer. Men - An underground cave was found? It's not a natural occurence, it's an artificial creation. What was Pioneer 1's purpose there? - Did you know? They were finally able to launch the transporter after numerous attempts? - Did you... go down to Ragol? ...Wow, you're really brave. I envy your courage. ===================================================== Principal's Office after De Rol Le is defeated ===================================================== Principal - Visit the lab and tell them about the creatures you encountered on Ragol. It seems our initial perception of Ragol is wrong. Based on what you've told us, Ragol isn't the paradise that Pioneer 1 stated it was. The cause of the explosion is still not known. We haven't heard anything from the people on Pioneer 1! [NAME], please...! Continue investigating! - Where are they? Where is Pioneer 1? I need to know! Scientist Behind Desk - I'm assuming the monsters you saw in the cave as mutant variations of the native life. And this big crustacean... It has an organ shaped like a needle, to inject its sap into other animals. I'm probably being too hasty, but I think I have a theory... It's very possible that this sap is changing the animals into these mutant monsters. Scientist - If that huge creature caused all of those accidents, we should be safe now. It was defeated by [NAME], the skilled [CLASS]! ...Do you really think so? Was it really the last one? Nobody knows! Ha, ha... there must be more. Hundreds of monsters like that must exist... ha, ha, ha! ===================================================== Pioneer 2 after De Rol Le is defeated and after talking to Principal ===================================================== Soldier - Do only what you can do. That's the best way to deal with everything... Never mind. - If we had more soldiers, we wouldn't need to use hunters! ===================================================== Rico's Message Pods - Mine 1 ===================================================== - This area... Apparently technology was involved in creating this. Why did they dig so deeply into the ground? - To defeat Canadines, first disrupt their formation. The red one is the leader. Kill it first. It makes the battle easier. - Don't panic if you see more than one Sinow Beat. Just find the real body. - I'm attacked by robots this time... What are they?! They were customized robots originally for industrial use. ...Who did this? I can understand animals being metamorphosed by a crustacean into mutants, but... These were robots. Somebody modified them. Was it done by someone from Pioneer 1? - I heard a rumor that the government was building a secret underground factory. Were the robots manufactured in that secret factory? Or, was the factory a decoy? The government was developing another project behind it... Information is always controlled by the government. We don't know the truth at all. We hunters are always used by the government. We're just tools to them. ===================================================== Rico's Message Pods - Mine 2 ===================================================== - Here, I found the third one. Will it fit together when all the parts are combined? "Light, darkness, pair, exist, unlimited, rule, seal..." I can make out each word, but I still don't understand the meaning of the whole thing. - A Dubchic will get up when knocked down from an attack. There must be a switch to kill them all simultaneously. Look for it. - To defeat a Garanz, you have to strip it of its hard shell first. Its protection will drop, but its attack power will be enhanced. Be careful! ===================================================== Rico's Message Pods - area between Mines and Ruins ===================================================== - I can now say that there was an ancient civilization on this planet. Ruins buried in the ground. This is the evidence. The government was about to secretly conduct an excavation to study the ruins. - No intelligent life was discovered when Pioneer 1 landed here... Something else must have caused the destruction of this ancient civilization. What happened on Ragol in the past? - The government was decoding the characters as well. Here is their analysis. I'll try to fill in the gaps with my own data. "Light, darkness,... a pair, no, ... exist, no exist... unlimited, seal, ... MUUT DITTS POUMN"...? What's the last line? An incantation? Seal, seal... What is sealed? Where? Is it about this door? Was it sealed with the words, MUTT DITTS POUMN? Maybe each word in the incantation means something? I found three monuments... Are they keys to open the door? ===================================================== Principal's Office after Vol Opt is defeated (But Rico's analysis of the ruins entrance is ignored...) ===================================================== Principal - I am responsible for 30,000 people on Pioneer 2. Should we abandon Ragol and just depart? But we don't have any other planet that we can settle on. We need a home... Scientist Behind Desk - Based on our analysis, I discovered that the robots you fought against were restructured mechanisms that were used on Pioneer 1. It is my job to find facts. Reasoning with the collected facts is someone else's job. But... I... I'm scared. Very scared. Scientist - By now, you must know that Ragol is a dangerous planet. That is something! Nobody on Pioneer 1 survived. We have to leave here right now. ===================================================== Pioneer 2 after Vol Opt is defeated ===================================================== Soldier - Pioneer 1 carried a lot more weaponry than we did. If we really have to land on Ragol, we should get them... - Well, I'd handle everything if I had stronger weapons! Women - What should we do if Ragol isn't the place for us...? We can't go back, and we can't proceed. Where is home now? - There are probably other ways to make money, anyway. Increasing your experience is probably more important. Men - This is just a hunch that I have... OK? Pioneer 1 didn't want to report the ruins, or their plan to excavate it. Someone's hiding something. - Did you know? It's been rumored that Rico left a lot of messages on Ragol. Her messages must be important clues that'll help solve this mystery. - Have you found Rico yet? That unfortunate accident... With Rico there... ===================================================== Principal's Office after Vol Opt is defeated ===================================================== Principal - The underground ruins... Are they the cause of everything? Did people from Pioneer 1 go down into the ruins? [NAME], Please continue investigating. Scientist Behind Desk - Ruins found underground... Did sentient life exist on Ragol at one time? But Pioneer 1 didn't find any traces of sentient life on the surface. It's a perplexing question... Scientist - Pioneer 1 somehow knew of the existence of the ancient ruins that were underground. And they were going to excavate it for research... And something happened. ...Something! ===================================================== Principal's Office after the Ruins are opened ===================================================== Principal - I don't believe it! Undiscovered monsters also exist in the ancient ruins?! Scientist Behind Desk - I studied the data from the ruins and confirmed that it was from another civilization. A great discovery... But I'm not in the mood to get excited right now. Scientist - In the depths of the ruins... a key must be lying dormant, the key to everything. I'm a scientist. I want to know the truth, but something tells me it's dangerous! Well, again I suggest you leave here. Yes, as soon as possible. ===================================================== Rico's Message Pods - Ruins 1 ===================================================== - Why am I here, with monsters lurking everywhere? Did the army even stand a chance against them? - Frontal attacks against Delsabers are ineffective. So don't try it. Go around to its back. - Don't let yourself get surrounded by Dimenians! - Do you see the crystals floating around a Chaos Sorcerer? One is used for attack, and the other is for healing. - I can't move... what a horrific trap. I wish I had a friend here... - Wreckage...! These weapons are from Pioneer 1. They must've already entered the ruins, and from the look of things, fighting went on. It must've been a big battle. Seems our army was hurt badly. - I can see a distant view through this window... The "ruins" are huge. I would never have imagined such a great civilization... - Claws should be easy to defeat. They are weak. But be careful when they combine into a Bulclaw. - What is this big hole? It looks like... remnants of some type of energy explosion. ...Energy...? Was the Central Dome destroyed by this!? - Dark Belra's are very slow, but they have lots of health. Prepare for a long battle. - Those strange characters were found here and there. I think I have enough samples to decipher the meaning of the message on the monument. "Light makes darkness, a pair exists, but it doesn't always exist. Reincarnation goes forever. The rule is here. It should be sealed. MUUT DITTS POUMN"... Does it make sense? I wish I had enough time to study these unknown characters... ===================================================== Rico's Message Pods - Ruins 2 ===================================================== - I haven't studied all the characters yet, but I've got some usefull information. This is the most important fact that I have found. There was NO ancient civilization on Ragol. We didn't discover ruins. This is a spaceship. A gigantic spaceship. - I'm now inside the ancient spaceship. Well, it's not just a spaceship. It's a... "casket." Something or somebody was sealed in this spaceship to remain buried here. What is IT? Why was something buried in such a manner? Anyway, I know that a monster is sleeping in this cave. We've opened the forbidden door. - You need to wait until a Dark Gunner stops to hit it. It's impervious to damage when it's moving around. - Still moving... This ship's still operating! - Be careful of the Chaos Bringer's charge. Dodge the charge, then attack it from behind. - I want to run away! But I have no place to return to... Perhaps no one will ever find this message and listen to it. Ever... Pioneer 2 will not come down when they discover that this planet is dangerous. Will somebody from Pioneer 2 still come to save us? Who knows? Regardless, I leave this message here. This is evidence of my existence. ===================================================== Rico's Message Pods - Ruins 3 ===================================================== - This mist is very unusual... Be careful! - Dark Falz! That's the name. The god of destruction that revives in the millennial cycle. Perhaps this entity encountered a civilization thousands of years ago. They could not defeat it, but managed to seal it in this gigantic spaceship. They abandoned it somewhere far from their planet. It was this place, Ragol. We've come to a terrible place at the worst possible time... - Dark Falz is a consciousness. This entity has no body. - I miss my father. I wasn't a very good daughter... was I? Is my father OK now? - Don't let it come in. The dark consciousness looks for the best animal to obtain its temporal host body. - The door is already opened. We opened it. This may be the beginning of the end of the universe. We have to do something... We must do it. We have to defeat it now! Defeat it before that dark "thing" revives with the perfect body. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Magnitude of Metal ===================================================== A valuable commodity on Ragol was lost?! Client: Garon, trader Quest: Retrieve items that were stolen on a trip back from Ragol. Reward: 500 Meseta Garon - Are you the Hunter from the Guild? I'm Garon, a trader. I want you to go down to Ragol and retrieve my lost items. It's really important! A business opportunity of the likes that no one has ever seen before! I'm sure I'll become a zillionaire when I get it all back. That useless Ranger said that an android took them. Find that android and get back my items! Understand? If you need any more info, ask that stupid, incompetent Ranger. - Go talk to that useless hunter if you need more details! He should be around somewhere. Dacci (Ranger in Town) - Garon's commodity? Ah, they're just Mags. Garon happened to find out that Mags could be found on the ground. He asked me to collect some for him. I accepted it for the Meseta. I collected enough Mags on Ragol to make everyone happy, but then, I thought about the Mags and the hunters who used them before. Mags are just protectors invented by a scientist. But we're given one when we become hunters. It's kind of tradition. Mags are an essential piece of equipment for hunters, right? When I was thinking this, an android appeared, and... It was right, though, Garon shouldn't use them to get Meseta. - No, the Mags weren't stolen. They voluntarily left... I'm not lying to you. It's the truth. Man in Town - I don't think Garon is a good trader. I heard that he belongs to a suspicious traders group. His view on things is so narrow that he'll never be a successful trader. Credibility is important for people to have. It's an invaluable commodity. [Transport down to Ragol... find Elenor Camuel.] Elenor - Well... one's still missing... ! I was surprised... Ah... excuse me, but have you seen a Mag around here? If you say... "No, I haven't." - Thanks, anyway. I wonder where it is... A Mag left me when I wasn't paying attention. [This repeats until you say "I'm looking for it."] If you say... "I'm looking for it." - What? You came here to retrieve Mags? No, no! I didn't mean to take them from the Ranger. But they all looked so sad, so I just started talking to them. And... they looked very happy. I just wanted to say hello. But... they all wanted to come with me, and they chased after me. Then everyone returned to their master's place. They aren't here now. Only one Mag was saying that it would come with me, but it disappeared. Sorry about that... Are you going to look for it? Let me join you. Maybe it didn't stray too far from me. By the way, I'm Elenor. Elenor Camuel. I'm an android. - Are you mad because I let the Mags run away? I'm sorry. But please listen, I don't know if you're aware of this, but... Mags are intelligent. When a hunter equips a Mag, it recognizes him or her as its master. Some Mags are clever. They can protect or heal their masters! Moreover, some can do a lot of photon damage. Doc told me, but... I forgot... Aaa...anyway! Mags'll try to help you if you're nice to them. Mags feel very sad when they lose their masters. - My Mag and Doc's Mag are twins. They were as small as two peas when they were new. But they look different now. It's strange... Don't you think? - Excuse me, I don't know if I should tell you this... but... [NAME], your Mag is hungry... It's true! It's alive. It needs something to eat. And it's best to give a Mag its favorite item. Each Mag has its own characteristics and its own favorite items. Some like Monomate, others like Dimate... To feed your Mag, open the menu window, select Item Pack, then MAG. Then select Give Items. That's it. It's easy. Try to "know" your Mag. It grows as its Master gains experience. - [NAME], your Mag is very cute. It likes you a lot, [NAME]! ...Huh? How can I communicate with Mags? Well, because... ??? I'm so sorry... I just don't know. - Oh, I just remembered! When Mags get damaged, they charge energy to endure the pain. The charged energy can be converted into a Photon Blast! ...but I'm not sure... When the energy is fully charged, your Mag tells you to use the power! - Hey! There it is! There! Over there! Can you see it? Narration - Got missing MAG! Elenor - Hi again... ...... I see. It visited its ex-master to say bye-bye. Now it's done. It says that it wants to have a new master. See? Mags prefer a master that loves them. [NAME], please take care of your Mag. Even if you can't hear its voice, know that it understands you. - Mags are good partners to hunters. I "know" my Mag. I can feel my Mag because I'm very close to it... [Transport back to Pioneer 2.] Dacci - I'm happy to hear that. The Mags would be much happier going back to their masters. Man in Town - Has Garon learned this? I don't think so... Garon - Whaaaat? This is the only one? Their masters were already ...dead... ...... Anyway, you can get your Meseta at the Guild! Your job is finished. - I lost so much Meseta! I could've been a... zillionaire... Narrator - You have been awarded 500 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Claiming a Stake ===================================================== Find and bring back a greedy landlord! Client: Racton's son Quest: My father, Racton, has gone to claim land on Ragol. Find him. Reward: 700 Meseta Racton's Son - Ah, here you are, [CLASS]. My father disgusts me. As soon as we arrived, he ran off saying, "I'm off to stake out land." Staking out Ragol? It's too early to do that. We don't know much about Ragol... it's dangerous. Please! Please find my father! - Please! Please find my father! Android in the Guild - Racton is a greedy man. He's so self-absorbed. But ironically, his son is a very good-natured man. Woman in Town - Racton? Oh yes. I saw him. He was fleeing from some monsters in the forest. Help him? No way! Sympathy only gets you into trouble. Why do I have to save him? It's not my job. Boy in Town - I have to train myself more! Boy in Town [after acquiring WEAPONS emblem] - I have to train myself more! Training will make me strong enough to fight with my bare hands. Did you know that some weapons are only for martial arts players? ...Hey. You have the same emblem that I have! What? You want to join "WEAPONS?" Hmmm... No problem. Narrator - Got an approval! - Good weapons require a strong body. Balance between body and weapon is important. [Transport down to Forest... locate Racton...] Racton - Ahhhhh! I'm s-s-scared! What are these monsters doing here!? I can't raise the price of this land if these monsters hang around! My son asked you to take me back to Pioneer 2? Cough! Of course I'll go back with you... If you do me a favor. I've left three capsules on prime land locations. You go and recall all of them. Then I'll go back with you. Why? Because capsules aren't cheap. Hurry now. The capsules are this way and that way. - You haven't found all three of them yet. Are you really a hunter from the Hunter's Guild? [Talk to Racton with all three capsules] Racton - Hmmm! You have all three capsules! Now, let's get out of this dangerous place! Hurry! Ahhhhhhh! [Telepipe back to Pioneer 2] Woman in Town - Wow, he returned alive. What a lucky man! Well, lucky for him, but not really for us. Android in the Guild - Racton never learns from his mistakes... Racton - I'm going there again once those monsters are exterminated. Racton's Son - I'll make sure he doesn't cause any more trouble like this again. Please get your reward. - Visit the Hunter's Guild to get your reward. Narrator - You have been awarded 700 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: The Value of Money ===================================================== A wife is depressed. Client: Gizel's wife Quest: I want my husband to stop wasting money. He buys too many weapons. Reward: 300 Meseta Gizel's wife - I don't think he knows the meaning of the word "waste." He buys weapons without a second thought. He could buy much better weapons earlier if he saved his money, right? He'll listen to you since you're also a hunter. Convince him. - My husband? He may be at the shop, browsing for weapons again. Man in town - Oh...(sigh)... That weapon was great... really great... Man in town [after acquiring WEAPONS emblem] - ...(sigh)... It was awesome... really awesome... I saw a Ranger holding an unknown weapon that spread flames... It was like a beautiful flame sprayer. I've never seen such an innovative weapon before... I want it... Oh, that emblem... Are you a "WEAPONS," too? I see. You want to join us. I think that's fine. Narrator - Got an approval! Remember! Don't try to learn too much about us. We're Freemasons. - I know it's an old-fashioned weapon, but I love bazookas, too. Oh, sorry. I can't stop talking about weapons! Gizel [First time you talk to him] - What? Who are you? An errand from my wife? I'm buying weapons too often? Shut up. Expensive weapons are strong. With strong weapons, I can kill expensive monsters, and I can be rich. So it's smart of me to buy better weapons. Understand? [Subsequent times you talk to him] - What, what? Did ya forget to say something? You can't convince me. I'm not wrong. Expensive weapons are strong. With strong weapons, I can kill expensive monsters, and I can be rich. So, it's smart of me to buy better weapons. Understand? [If you say "Yes, you're right."] - Good, good. This issue is just between my wife and me. Well, you can go now. [If you say, "No, I don't understand.] - Why don't ya understand? [If you say "Because I'm a fool."] - Oh, that's too bad. You'd better go to school every day. [If you say "It's not always true."] - You're saying that the expensive weapons aren't always strong, right? But listen. Even if its attack power isn't very high, it may be good. For example, it may have a good hitting ratio. The most important thing to get is a good point for the price you pay. You can't convince me. That's it? - Bye now. [If you say "Because you're a fool."] - What? Am I wasting money by buying all the time? Am I changing weapons too quickly, ignoring cost vs. performance? I... I can't rebut it. You're right... But... I... I can't stop buying weapons. Forgive me. - Please, forgive me... [Return to Gizel's wife after saying, "Yes, you're right."] - I can't believe it. He snubbed you? My goodness... What he's saying isn't wrong, but he's not being economical. Take a firm stand! OK? [Return to Gizel's wife after saying, "Because I'm a fool."] - You were fooled by him, weren't you? I can't believe it. I said it's not economical 'cause he buys without thinking. Take a firm stand! OK? [Return to Gizel's wife after saying, "It's not always true."] - Expensive weapons aren't always strong? I'm not talking about that. Buying weapons is fine, but he needs to be smart when he buys things. Take a firm stand! OK? [Return to Gizel's wife after saying "Because you're a fool."] - Did he finally understand? Now I know. He has a weapon-fetish. But we can't afford to waste money to keep him happy all the time. Tell him, NO MORE SHOPPING. Gizel - Weapon-fetish?! Y...yes, I am! Look at this luster! Beautiful... I love it. New weapons are so beautiful and shiny. I love buying them. What?? NO MORE SHOPPING? It's too cruel... - It was my only... Gizel's wife - Thank you. Was he really that disappointed? I'll allow him to buy weapons later. Good job. Please go and receive your money at the Guild. Narrator - You've been awarded 300 Meseta! ===================================================== Guild Quest: Battle Training ===================================================== Find a hunter who is working down on Ragol. Client: Zidd Quest: Please find a hunter and bring him back. He went down to Ragol for a quest. Reward: 500 Meseta Zidd - Are you [NAME]? I'm Zidd. I asked a young hunter, Ash, to do some research on Ragol. He's supposed to be done with the job by now, but he hasn't returned yet. Perhaps he got himself into some trouble... So I want to ask you to go to Ragol and rescue him. Not by yourself. Please go with that hunter over there. First of all, can you bring him here? I'll talk to you later. Kireek - Are you [NAME]? It's the first time I've had a partner. Zidd asked me to do this job first. Unexpectedly, he told me I'd have to work with someone else... I had to say YES as he is my client... [Try to beam down to Ragol before talking to Zidd again] Kireek - Speak to Zidd first. [Return to Zidd] Zidd - Hello again, [NAME]. He's Kireek, your partner for this quest. He is a HUcast. He's a pro. Perhaps you can learn a lot from him. Kireek, I know you are unhappy, but I need two hunters for this. One has to retrieve the data disk that I asked Ash to get. The other is to help Ash return here if he is injured. This is my personal agenda. It has nothing to do with business. Ash is my cousin. I don't want to lose him. Please understand. Kireek - ..... I have no choice. Zidd - What are you doing here? Please hurry up and find Ash. Good luck. [Beam down to Forest 1] Kireek - Here come the wild animals of Ragol. If you're close enough, a cursor shows you which enemy you can attack. Don't let them surround you! - Be careful. Even if you defeat one group, another one may be hiding near you. Watch the radar. Prepare for the battle so you don't get surrounded. - That's the door switch. Press it. Did the door open? - In some areas, you must defeat all the enemies to unlock the door. Perhaps it's a security reason... Other doors can be opened through switches. - If you're with your teammates, they'll watch your back. If you're alone, try to change the view often to look around. - What's wrong? Is it difficult to hit the enemies? [If you say "Yes, very..."] All right. I'll teach you some of the basics. Stop and listen to me. First of all, there are three different types of attacks. "Attack" is a fast striking move, but it's not very powerful. A charged "Heavy Attack" is more powerful, but it can be easily dodged. "Extra Attack" generates a special power from your weapon. Understand? You can do up to 3 combo attacks if you attack rapidly. This is a simple tip to help you increase your hit rate. How do you choose which attack to use? Judge it by the enemies you face. Make sure you survive. Try some attacks when you see some monsters. [If you say "No problem."] All right. It's OK as long as you aren't a liability. - [NAME], did you learn the trick? Two easy "Attacks", then a critical "Heavy Attack" as a finishing blow. This is one example. - One can also use Techniques. Techniques use up TP but they always hits enemies. Unfortunately, androids can't use Techniques. I envy those who can. - Here's a simple battle tip... Be mindful of the colors during the battle. The cursor above the enemy is a hint on how to attack an enemy. - [NAME], look at your controller. The cursor colors correspond to the button colors. If an enemy is marked with a red cursor, press the red button! Got it? [Enter room where Ash lay.] Ash - Wh...who is it!? - I don't know who you guys are, but be careful... They're...still hiding around here. - ...... Kireek - I can hear something... A growl...? Narrator - Got the data disk! [Talk to Ash again, after defeating Savage Wolves, he stands up] Ash - (breath) Thank you... Wha...? Zidd? Now I know why you guys are here... He always treats me like a kid... I completed the quest, but suddenly, they attacked me here. Monsters appeared and I dropped the disk. I couldn't do anything. - How vexing...! I appreciate that you guys came to save me, but I... Kireek - I'll take this boy with me. You deliver the disk to the client. Then we can finish this job. [NAME]..., train yourself. Become much stronger to impress me... Ha, ha, ha... [Return to the Hunters' Guild] Ash - Thank you. I'll keep practicing! Zidd - Kireek already left after receiving the Meseta. Phew... I have never seen such an intimidating android. It was like that android was built for battle. This must be the disk that I asked Ash to find. Thanks. Ash is enduring the pain, since he won't go see a doctor. You can get your reward at the Hunter's Guild. Thank you. Narrator - You have been awarded 500 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Journalistic Pursuit ===================================================== A journalist wants to go down to Ragol. Client: Nol, Journalist Quest: It's my duty to report what's on Ragol. Take me with you. Reward: 1200 Meseta Nol - Are you a [CLASS]? Hi, I'm Nol Rinale, a journalist. Have you seen the online news on Pioneer 2? That's my job. Oh, don't worry about these clothes. I seek the truth. And I want to be able to let everyone know the truth. Information is controlled by the government. We journalists are just given information to broadcast to the public. A long time ago, there was "newspaper" media. It was a daily report of the truth that journalists collected. I envy the old days. I know there's a way to Ragol via a transporter. Access is restricted. No, I don't want to disclose it. I just want to go to Ragol. What is Ragol like? Was there really an explosion? Does Pioneer 1 exist at all? I want to see the truth with my own eyes. Please go with me. The government wants to restrict the media. They try to monitor us. That's the reason why I'm wearing these clothes... a disguise. But I don't know how to fight battles! It's your job to guard me! Got it? Well, first, I want to check the Central Dome out. Please take me around the Central Dome. Soldier in Town - A journalist is working around here without permission. This area is restricted. [NAME], please let us know if you see a suspicious person. [Transport down to Forest 1] Nol - I'd never have guessed! The native animals on Ragol are vicious! - This is the residential area, isn't it? This area here? What happened to the people living here? What are these animals? - There were rumors that a huge explosion occurred, but there's no marks. Something's weird here. [Transport to Forest 2] Nol - It's scary... Don't you think so? The people on Pioneer 1 must have started to settle down here. But we haven't met anyone yet. Nobody lives here now! - Hey, look! Can you see that input device for weather observation? If it works, perhaps we can access the main computer here! - (...breath...) I came here to discover the truth, but... but... I'm confused... - Central Dome...! If there was an explosion, why aren't there any signs? A lot of people were living there! What happened to them? Was everybody... involved in the accident...? All of them...? [Examine input device for weather observation.] Nol - Does it still work? Computer - "Accessing Pioneer 1..." "Access denied." Nol - It works, but we can't enter the main computer of Pioneer 1 with it. How about local data? ...... ...... ...... Everything was working OK until IT happened. Every log ends at the same exact time. [Examine computer again] Computer - "Accessing computer..." "Access denied." Nol - ...... Hey, [NAME]... That's enough. Your job is complete. Why? Well... because... I think I saw the truth. I saw a lot of monsters. No marks of an explosion. No survivors. I wanted to report the truth to Pioneer 2, but I changed my mind. I'm pretty frightened now. I'm scared. People on Pioneer 2 already feel uneasy about the situation. I don't want to give them any more anxieties. Maybe something's hidden ahead. I don't think I should find out... I'm too scared to know. That's why I decided to stop here. It's all over. Can you bring me back to Pioneer 2? [Non-quest related lines] Nol - Thanks. [when healed] - I'm dead! [when slain] [Transport back to Pioneer 2] Nol - I think it's a good time to call it quits now. I must return to the residential area before they find us. I really appreciate you helping me out. Don't forget to visit the counter at the Hunter's Guild. Soldier in Town - A journalist is working around here without permission. This area is restricted. [NAME], please let us know if you see a suspicious person. But personally, I'd like to know what's happening on Ragol. Narrator - You've been awarded 1200 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: The Fake in Yellow ===================================================== What is the biologist on Ragol doing? Client: Guls's Assistant Quest: Dr. Guls, a biologist who's crazy about Ragol's native life is missing. Find him. Reward: 800 Meseta Guls's Assistant - Please, [CLASS]! Help me. I'm Dr. Guls's assistant. Recently, animal data from Ragol has been sold on the black market. Dr. Guls bought this data and became totally engrossed in it. He stared at the data all day long. And suddenly he told me, "I'm going to see them!" We heard that Ragol is dangerous, so I thought he was just joking. But I haven't seen him for days. Perhaps he did go down to Ragol. So I asked the Hunter's Guild to find Dr. Guls. Please find him, and have him come back here! - I hope you find him. Please find Dr. Guls and bring him back here! FOnewm in Guild - Yes, that's me. I sold the Ragol animal data to Dr. Guls. He paid me a lot! He really loved this one particular animal. - Sorry, I don't remember which one he loved. FOmarl in Guild - Hello there. No, I haven't seen Dr. Guls. Not in the city, and not on Ragol. FOnewearl in Town - I don't know. A biologist in white? Sorry, not interested. Army Soldier with Elenor - Hey, you! Don't talk to that android! Know yourself, hunter! Elenor - U...a.... Oh, [NAME]! How have you been? Me? Of course I'm fine! I'm doing errands for Dr. Montague now... Oh, sorry. It seems that I have to go right now. See you later. [Elenor disappears.] Army Soldier who was with Elenor - I have nothing to say to you. [Transport down to Forest 1] Rappy - ...... ! [Encounter strange Rappy again] Rappy - ...... [Encounter strange Rappy one last time] Rappy - ...... - ...... ...... - Hmm, bingo! You've got a great eye! How did you know it was me? I thought my disguise was perfect. Don't you think the Rappy is very cute!? It's hairy, soft, cute, so lovely and pretty...! I'm in Rappy's group, I'm playing with Rappy, I'm living with Rappy! It's the happiest I've ever been in my life! What? My assistant's asking me to go back now? I've collected enough data by living among them. OK, I'll return. I'll just spend a little more time here with the Rappy. Then I'll leave. - I said I'll leave soon. Don't worry. That's OK. You can go back now. [Return to Pioneer 2] FOnewearl in Town - I was so surprised! I saw a Rappy enter the city, and a man emerged from it. FOmarl in Guild - Hello, there. Was he on Ragol? Really? Sorry about that. I wasn't aware of it. FOnewm in Guild - Was it the yellow one he was infatuated with? For me, it's just a big and disgusting thing. Dr. Guls - I've had enough fun! Guls's Assistant - Finally, he's returned to the lab. Thank you very much. Please visit the Guild to get your Meseta. - Please visit the Guild to get your Meseta. Narrator - You've been awarded 800 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Native Research ===================================================== Collect data on the native animals. Client: Alicia Quest: To help our study, collect data on native animals on Ragol. Reward: 2500 Meseta Alicia Baz - Are you [NAME]? I'm Alicia Baz. I'm an assistant at a laboratory. Ah... sorry, I can't tell you which lab I'm working at. We really need biological data on Ragol's native animals. Ah... sorry, I can't tell you why we need this data. I'm just asking you to get this data for us. I heard that animals on Ragol are violent so you need to kill them. Let me put this tool on you to take data from your weapons and bodies. Defeat native animals with specified weapon. The biological data is automatically stored in these capsules. Please collect data from 5 different native animals. The storage system only works for 20 minutes. Come back by that time. The tool doesn't detect animals if they are too small. Please, don't talk to anyone about this request. - Personally, I don't agree with this plan. Even though it's for research, we shouldn't kill animals for data. I don't understand what my boss is thinking... I should go with you to get the capsules myself, but... Sorry, I'm too weak. - You're running out of time. Hurry. Soldier near Guild Door #1 - I work at the lab, too. I hope you can be of assistance to us. Soldier near Guild Door #2 - What can I do for you? Please hurry back. FOnewm in City - Did you accept that quest? I didn't do it because the client is untrustworthy. I can't work for someone who's so secretive. You agree, right? [Transport down to Forest 1] [Kill Boomas] Narrator - Analyzing bio data... Analyzing battle data... Setting data code... ...... Got Biological data 1! [Kill Savage Wolves] Narrator - Analyzing bio data... Analyzing battle data... Setting data code... ...... Got Biological data 2! [Kill Monest and Mothmants] Narrator - Analyzing bio data... Analyzing battle data... Setting data code... ...... Got Biological data 3! [Kill Rag Rappies] Narrator - Analyzing bio data... Analyzing battle data... Setting data code... ...... Got Biological data 4! [Kill Hildebear] Narrator - Analyzing bio data... Analyzing battle data... Setting data code... ...... Got Biological data 5! [When all five have been killed] Narrator - Got all biological data! [Return to Pioneer 2] Alicia Baz - I confirmed all 5 sets of biological data. Your job is complete. I'm sure that this data will help us to proceed with that research... Oh... no, nothing! Sorry. Now please visit the Hunter's Guild to receive your Meseta. - [NAME], did you receive your reward at the Guild? Sorry that our request was so secretive. It wasn't my intention... Soldier near Guild Door #1 - You did a good job. Thank you. This will really help advance our study. Keep up the good work. Soldier near Guild Door #2 - Thank you. The Guild will pay you. Just go to the counter. FOnewm in City - Oh, you don't?! I'll only work for a client I can trust. Maybe my standards are different from yours. Narrator - You've been awarded 2500 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Forest of Sorrow ===================================================== The data from the capsules is unusual... Client: Alicia Quest: I don't believe the results taken from the data capsules. I want to go see for myself! Reward: 1500 Meseta Alicia - Hi, [NAME]! It's me, Alicia Baz. Do you remember me? I asked you to get data from the Ragol animals. Yes, the assistant at... a laboratory. At that time, I was told by my boss not to disclose any details... This time, I'm asking you to do a job for an individual! ...... Frankly speaking, I want you to go to Ragol with me. I've studied large mammals my whole life. I was happy to know that similar animals lived on Ragol, too. But the data you brought back to us was really strange. If it's really true, then something must have happened to the animals. I want to confirm it. I want to see Ragol's mammals and their living environments. And I want to take the data myself, personally. That's my request. I know it's dangerous down there... I will kill them if neccessary. I don't like fighting... but I might have to. If possible, I don't want to use my talent as a Force... But I have to go. Please go with me! Man in Town - Alicia, Alicia... Where have you gone? Why'd you quit your job? She's been so uneasy since she came here! ALICIA: ...... Boy in Town - He talks to himself all the time. Are you a hunter? Please take him somewhere. What? Ask the Guild first? Oh, you are so hidebound...! [Transport to Forest 1] Alicia - The data you reported was taken around the Dome, wasn't it? Please take me to that place. - There should be a transporter that will bring us to the Dome... Will it still work after that big explosion? I wonder... Well, we'll worry about that when we find it... - Can we use that transporter to get to the Dome? Let's go. [Transport to Forest 2, find Hildebear baby] Alicia - Do you see that? It must be some mammal's young! It looks very young... Can we get closer? Baby Hildebear - ...! [It disappears] ALICIA: It's gone... Alicia - Just a minute... ...... Same results as before... It means that the data was accurate... This really is data from the native animals on Ragol! Unbelievable... How is it strange? Well, it's hard to explain as it is a genetic issue. I think the gene pool has been altered. It's just too unusual... I've studied animals for a long time, and I'd never believe this... [Find Baby Hildebear again] Baby Hildebear - Aaooouuuuu.... ALICIA: Ah, it's a baby... Not aggressive at all. It looks so weak. It doesn't look like its parents are feeding it. And it's hurt! Why? What hurt you? Oh, poor baby... ...... The current environment on this planet may be too harsh for it now... ...... [NAME], what do you think about taking it back with us? [If you say, "It's a good idea."] ALICIA: Do you really think so? We cannot bring him to our world. The baby should stay here. I'm sure that something is changing the animals for the worse on Ragol. But I must not change Ragol's nature with my one-sided sympathy. That's what I hated at the lab. OK... I've made up my mind. [NAME], back to Pioneer 2 now. I'll investigate the cause of their unnatural behavior. It's the only thing that I can do now. Let's go back to Pioneer 2. [If you say, "You shouldn't do it."] ALICIA: ...Yes, you're right. We cannot bring him to our world. The baby should stay here. I'm sure that something is changing the animals for the worse on Ragol. But I must not change Ragol's nature with my one-sided sympathy. That's what I hated at the lab. OK... I've made up my mind. [NAME], back to Pioneer 2 now. I'll investigate the cause of their unnatural behavior. It's the only thing that I can do now. Let's go back to Pioneer 2. Baby Hildebear - Aaooouuuuu.... [Baby Hildebear disappears.] [Non-quest related lines] Alicia - Just a little break, OK? [when idle for too long] - Thank you! [when healed] - No, it can't be! [when slain] [Return to Pioneer 2] Alicia - I really appreciate you helping me out. Don't forget to visit the counter at the Hunter's Guild. [Alicia disappears.] Man in Town - Why did we have to hire hunters to help us with our study? Nonsense! I hate it... Oh, I get it. Alicia left the lab because she hated it, too... Boy in Town - He's been talking to himself... Perhaps he has nobody to talk to... Narrator - You've been awarded 1500 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Gran Squall ===================================================== Gran Squall, a pleasure boat, departed before the explosion. Find the survivors. Client: Travel Agency Quest: The pleasure boat, Gran Squall, is lost. Find the survivors. Reward: 1000 Meseta Travel Agency Representative - Are you [NAME]? I work for the travel agency. The Gran Squall is a pleasure boat. It departed for Ragol before we received news about the explosion. Our communication with the ship has been lost. To ease concerns, we decided to implement a huge search on Ragol. Some hunters are already down there looking for survivors. Any kind of clues would be fine. I expect you to find something. If you find anything, report it to me right away. And don't talk to the other hunters. We don't want rumors to spread. - If you find something, tell me directly as soon as you can. Soldier in Town - If you want to keep your job, you'd better keep your mouth closed. Nobody'll give you a job if you disobey orders. Man in Town - A pleasure boat? Before the explosion? I doubt any civilian boat could go before the council opened the line. Woman near Shops - I happened to see Great Sword Zoke a few days ago! He was cool! But his android wasn't with him. I heard that she's always with him. Zoke was around the transporter with a Ranger. Woman near Shops [after acquiring WEAPONS emblem] - Oh, you're wearing that emblem! Are you a weapon maniac, too? My fave is the Katana! I wish I had one of the four Legendary Katanas! Zoke owns three of them, so only one's left! Hmmm... where would I find it? Hey, are you going to join "WEAPONS?" Approval? Freemasons? Ha, ha! What are you talking about? "WEAPONS" is just a club that a bored trader started. So you don't need any approvals. So relax! Narrator - Got an approval? - The Katana is great. I feel a soul in it. Woman near Shops [after making it into WEAPONS] - Have you met Akiko? Was she angry? I see... She's always angry because her husband is like that. But it's fun to talk to him about weapons. [Transport to Forest 1] Bernie - Are you looking for the pleasure boat, too? Do you really believe the story about the pleasure boat? [If you say "Yes."] ...... Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Hey, are you serious? You're interesting. Ha, ha. Oh, I'm sorry. Forgive my rudeness. Want to come with me? I'll give you some good information. Come on! [Bernie joins you.] [If you say "No."] I agree with you. Ha, ha, ha! I think you're correct. Gizel (HUmar in Forest) (NOTE: Not the same Gizel from "The Value of Money") - Are you working on the quest offered by the travel agency? I'm doing that, too. But I can't find any traces at all... Let me know if you find anything. Bernie - Don't you think that this quest is strange? A pleasure boat departed before the council made first contact? No way! I really doubt that the ship really fell to the ground... Dacci (RAmar in Forest) - You searching for the Gran Squall? Will you share your info with me? [If you say "Yes."] ......? You know nothing, am I right? You have no information to share. Me? Oh, well... I... I'll collect all the info from now on. [If you say "No."] You want to monopolize the money, right? Same as that man in black. [You and Bernie come to a locked door.] Bernie - Won't open? Is the mechanism broken? Let me take care of it. [Bernie opens door.] See? I have the knack. - ?? The information? Oh, yes. Can you keep a secret? Do you swear? The true meaning of this quest is not what it appears to be. The Gran Squall crashed on Ragol. That's true. But it's not a pleasure boat. The Gran Squall's a secret military ship. I don't know what its purpose was. Anyway, it crashed on Ragol. I confirmed it with my source who's working on another quest with me. My source says there must be a survivor. My true quest is camouflaged by the travel agency's quest. - We'll use that transporter, OK? [Transport to Forest 2] Bernie - I'm looking for a little lady. I heard that a chip's implanted in her body to get her data. If we're close enough to her, we can detect her with this machine. ...I don't understand why they had to implant the chip into her... - It shows that her signal is coming from this direction. But there seems to be a big party waiting for us. I'm glad that I joined up with you. [Find FOnewearl, Rupika] Bernie - She's badly injured... It's a miracle that she's still alive. Hey, you! Thanks for the help. Can you go on ahead and report it to the travel agency? I'll go with her later. Don't worry. I'll contact my other client about this girl before we return. - Trust me. You fought alongside me. I never betray my party. But I'm forgetful. Ha, ha, ha! [Non-quest related lines] Bernie - Time to take you down! [when attacking] - Watch this! [when casting Gifoie] - Gaaah! [when injured] - Thank you very much! [when healed] - Ok, let's take a break. [when idle too long] - It's over. [when killed] [Transport back to Pioneer 2] Man in Town - I heard that a survivor was found on Ragol. They said it was a little girl... Is it true? Soldier in Town - You shouldn't talk about your job, even when it's complete. Got that? Never forget that. Travel Agency Representative - Excellent! We didn't expect there to be any survivors. Let me confirm this... Only Bernie and you know about the survivor? ......? Oh, Bernie is the Ranger who brought her here for you. It's his nickname. He's always been a mysterious man... I'll take care of the girl. Don't worry. The Guild will pay you your reward. - The Guild will pay you your reward. Narrator - You have been awarded 1000 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Addicting Food ===================================================== Possible food problem aboard Pioneer 2. Client: Trekka Quest: I want to eat something sweet! Reward: 1500 Meseta Trekka - I'm Trekka. I'm really embarassed about this story, but listen to me. Pioneer 2 doesn't really restrict us on food consumption. But certain types of food are restricted, especially sweets. But I love sweets. I was looking forward to landing on Ragol because it meant eating sweets! But the landing was postponed! And I really need my sweets! Perhaps you hunters can go to Pioneer 1 to get some sweets. Sorry that this sounds like a stupid request. But I am quite serious! - I want to eat something sweet... very sweet... FOnewearl in Guild - I know who she is! She's famous for starting sweet-mania! She's in such great shape now, but she used to be... oops! I must stop here to uphold her honor. RAmar in Guild - I don't know what to do. My quest is to find three sisters, but there aren't any clues. I went everywhere on Pioneer 2. RAcast in Town - I'm helping to find the 3 lost sisters. They were bakers with their own high standards for baking. I don't understand why they'd leave the ship. Man in Town - Yes! I know who those sisters are! They were looking for the perfect baking environment. They were professionals. So, their bread was very delicious! I loved it! What? You are doing some other quest? [Transport down to Caves 1, make your way to Caves 3, find the Three Sisters' Shortcake Wagon.] Sister 1 - To tell the truth, we aren't really bakers! We're the cake sisters! What do you think of the heat and humidity here? It's perfect! Pioneer 2 didn't allow us to make cakes, so we came down here! Hey, want to try one? - What? Monsters? Our enthusiasm for cakes is the strongest in the whole universe! Sister 2 - Are you surprised to find a cake shop in a location such as this? Sister at Counter - Welcome to Nuara Cake Shop. Which would you like to purchase? [Whether you choose "cake," "cake," or "cake" the response is the same.] Thank you! Narrator - Got a cake! Sister at Counter - Sorry, I already gave one to you. I can't give you more than one. Quest Board - cake: A very sweet and tasty treat! [Return to Pioneer 2.] Man in Town - Have you found the three sisters? Oh, sorry. I thought you are doing that quest. RAcast in Town - Personally, I think they did a fine job baking on Pioneer 2. Humans are difficult to understand. RAmar in Guild - What? You saw three girls on Ragol? Really? All my efforts were in vain... Trekka - Oh, that... that's...! I learned about this in history class! It's a cake, isn't it!? Please, give it to me!! Narrator - Passed cake! Trekka - Mmm... Th... thanks! You can get your Meseta at the Hunter's Guild. - I know I'll gain weight again if I eat too many sweets. Sweet food is really addicting... FOnewearl in Guild - When does she stop eating? Will she become... That's why sweets are dangerous. They're really addictive. Narrator - You've been awarded 1500 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: The Lost Bride ===================================================== Cicil got fat by using too many recovery items. Help her diet! Client: Cicil, Force. Quest: I'm too fat to go back to my fiance. Please help me diet! Reward: 2500 Meseta Cicil - Nice to meet you, I'm Cicil. Guess what? I'm getting married! But... I know I'm out of shape, but if I...! I'm staying on Ragol to exercise and get in shape before I see him. But every time I go hunting, I use all the recovery items. So I decided that I need help to control my diet. It's simple. What you do is go to a target point with me. But you have to guard me so that I won't need to use any recovery items. If I get hurt, I'll use a recovery item. The target point is the waterfall in the cave. Got it? HUnewearl in Town - Hang on, Cicil! I understand. Albert (Cicil's Fiance) - Cicil suddenly disappeared one day... and she hasn't returned. It's been a week since she's disappeared! Why isn't she back? Perhaps... something happened to her!? Or... perhaps she doesn't love me anymore?! Oh no! I'm feeling faint just imagining that! She's very beautiful. She's in great shape and she's smart too. She's perfect for me! She is my goddess! - She's very beautiful. She's in great shape and she's smart too. She's perfect for me! She is my goddess! Soldier near Check Room - If I had the chance, I'd go to Ragol and fight. But I can't. I'm a soldier. So I can't move without orders to do so. Soldier near Check Room [if you have WEAPONS emblem] - Wait, that... that emblem...! You agreed to the wonderful thought of "WEAPONS," didn't you? Using photons isn't really that aesthetic. When I say weapon, what word do you think of? [If you say "Enthusiasm"] - You're right! We have to be enthusiastic about weapons! I'm always maintaining my weapons at least three times a day! Keeping your weapons in good condition is vital. What? "WEAPONS"? No problem! I welcome you! Narrator - Got an approval! [If you say "Explosion"] - What are you talking about? I don't want to talk to those who don't know what a weapon is. - I hope I get to use this sabre freely some day! [Transport to Caves 1, make way to Caves 2, enter waterfall room.] Cicil - !!! Waterfall! Thank you very much! I did it! I did it! I've got to go now! I have to weigh myself. [Non-quest related lines] Cicil - Thanks! [when healed] - I'm so tired... [when idle too long] - I'm starving! I'm running out of patience! [when near-death, ending quest] [Return to Pioneer 2] Albert - I will do my best so Cicil will not have to worry about me. HUnewearl in Town - As you know, Albert is an unreliable man. He didn't care about the money for the wedding. So she decided to earn the money by herself, and went to Ragol. She soon earned enough money for the wedding. But at the same time, she realized she might have made a mistake. Did you know that Albert calls her "my goddess?" So, I... I mean, she can't go back with that kind of misconception. I'm scared. I heard what happened to Cicil. I must make sure that I take every item. If you're on a diet, you have to be careful that you don't go back. I hope Cicil can keep her slim body. - If you're on a diet, you have to be careful that you don't go back. I hope Cicil can keep her slim body. Cicil - I really want to say thank you! Look at me! Now I look like this! Finally I can go back to see Albert. Please receive your money at the counter. Narrator - You've been awarded 2500 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Waterfall Tears ===================================================== A female hunter and the hunters seeking her are missing. Client: Kroe, hunter Quest: Find my sister. She's a hunter who disappeared recently. Reward: 1800 Meseta Kroe - Nice to meet you, [NAME]. I'm Kroe Waynes. Have you heard about the missing hunters? My twin sister, Anna, and I are hunters. Anna joined a hunter group that went to Ragol and disappeared. I've been looking for her, and I've also asked the Guild for help. But the Guild hunters have turned up missing! Of course I'm worried about them, but I need to find Anna first. Please be careful. Good luck. - Somebody said they saw a girl like Anna in the underground cave. Oh, I forgot to tell you. We're twins. She looks just like me. I'm so worried. I hope she hasn't caused any trouble... Hunter - You're the third hunter who's taken this quest. Let me advice you... Just be careful. Woman - Are you investigating the disappearance of Anna and the missing hunters? The twins are orphans. Poor girls... they are still so young. Kroe, the younger twin, is mature for her age, but Anna is... Well, I hope you find her soon. Man - Yes, yes. I know that hunters are missing. Yes, yes. You hunters must be careful when you go on quests. Soldier - ...... Sue - A Newman's lifespan is not definite. I may die tomorrow. Nobody knows. Science and technology. It's not as almighty as many people believe. If you gave Sue your name in "Dr. Osto's Research" and told Bernie about her in "Unsealed Door"... Sue - Oh, Hi... I didn't expect to find you here... ...... What? Do you have anything to tell me? If you say "Nothing." - Are you sure? - ...Huh? Anything else? [This repeats until player selects "About Black Paper."] If you say "About Black Paper." - ...... Black Paper? I know it. They're traders who sell weapons, and parts of androids and slaves. No one actually runs it. It's a syndicate that runs a black market. That's all I know about it. And? Is there a reason you asked? ...... - Can I leave now? [Transport down to Ragol... Anna and a Ranger (Gekigasky) attack.] Anna - Ouch! If you gave Sue your name in "Dr. Osto's Research" and told Bernie about Sue in "Unsealed Door"... [Meet Bernie.] Bernie - Hey, it's you. You're safe... guess you haven't met the Black Hound face-to-face yet. It's an assassin of Black Paper. What did you do? Why are you being followed by one? Perhaps... you knew or saw something regarding Pioneer 1, right? You don't look like you're even aware of it. Ha ha, you look so confused. Do you want to know more? If you say "No." - If you're not interested, that's OK. Forget about it. But... Be careful. If you say "Yes." - It's strange, but I trust you. Let me tell you about this... As you may know, Black Paper isn't a normal group of traders. It is another facet of the 10-nation-alliance. Black Paper also has assassins that are used by various organizations. Are you still confused? In short... Black Paper is under the same people that worked on the Pioneer Project. That's everything. But I suspect that these accidents on Ragol are not coincidences. And I know Black Paper is looking for something underneath the ground. ...that girl, too... There must be something there. Perhaps you're getting too close to it. Whatever it is, it must be holding the secret... - Be careful, anyway. I'm working with a guy to crack open this case. It would be great if you could help us out... See you later. [Find two other Hunters.] Hunters (Tonzlar and Tobokke) - ...... - ...... [Find Anna again.] Anna - Hey, you! Do you have a lot of items on you? Hmm... Yes, you do. Ha, ha. They're all mine! - I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I'll never do this again! I promise! Kroooooeeeee.... Help meee... [Pause] Kro... Kroe asked you to come and find me? Really? (sniff) Kroe, I miss you. I want to see youuuu. ...... Hey, what's wrong with my traps? Why weren't you trapped? ...... ...OK, never mind. If you did not give Sue your name in "Dr. Osto's Research" and spoke with her in "Unsealed Door"... [Find Kireek.] Kireek - Nice to see you again, [NAME]. Have you trained yourself? Do you remember me? I'm Kireek. They call me the Black Hound. I have orders to kill you. Let me devour your soul. Hee, hee, hee... You shall die now, [NAME]!! - Ha, ha, ha! You've grown very tasty... You taste so good. I appreciate the time you've spent trying to survive until now. My Pioneer 1 rival would be happy knowing I found a worthy opponent. But not yet... Not just yet. [Transport back to Pioneer 2.] Hunter - Where are the missing hunters? Woman - It seems that you and the twins have had a lot of trouble. But anyway, you all came back safe and sound. That's good. Anna - The trader gives me Mestea when I bring him weapons and items. Hunters that I defeated? The trader's friend took them somewhere... But I don't know where they are. Kroe - I knew I shouldn't have let Anna go without me. To tell the truth, I knew that Anna must be the cause... I went there to stop her many times, but she never appeared before me. I think she just enjoys taking weapons from other hunters by force. Sorry. Please forgive her. She's just a child. I promise I'll find the person who corrupted her and the missing hunters. That's OK. I think I know who tricked her. Thank you very much. Please visit the Guild to get your reward. - It was very nice that you took this quest. Superficial strength won't defeat Anna. She is very tough. I want to hier you if I get into trouble again. Narrator - You've been awarded 1800 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Black Paper ===================================================== The Mastermind behind the missing hunters is a trader? Client: Kroe, hunter Quest: Black Paper is the mastermind behind the missing hunters! Reward: 2000 Meseta Clerk - [NAME] the client is asking for you by name via BEE. This quest was received via mail. It's from a girl, Kroe. She wants you to come to her place. Here is her letter. The details are written in it. Narrator - Got Mail from Kroe! Clerk - Please read the letter to get the full details. Letter in Quest Board - Mail from Kroe, delivered via BEE System. Please forgive the urgency of this Quest. My situation is desperate. I found a man who I suspect is involved with the missing hunters. He is a weapons trader. He is called Black Paper. Black Paper seduced my sister, Anna. I'll tell you what happened later. Anyway, I am with him now. Please come here as soon as you can. I'm in an underground cave where I see a big hall that looks outside. He's about to finish his business transaction. This might be the only chance to arrest him! Please help! Kroe Waynes Force - Black Paper? They say that he's got a bad rep. A trafficker of weapons, android parts and sometimes humans... I'm scared. Soldier - Is it true? About Black Paper? I want to go and arrest him right away if he is the mastermind. But my mission requires me to stay here. Sorry that I have to leave this matter in your hands... Be careful. Ranger - ...... If you gave Sue your name in "Dr. Osto's Research" and told Bernie about Sue in "Unsealed Door"... Sue - ...You again... [NAME]? Are you following me? It doesn't seem like it'll work. Just kidding. What? Oh, please! What do you really want to know!? If you say "Why were you on board?" - Why was I on Pioneer 2? I had no real reason. I just wanted to leave our planet. I wanted to see something new. That's it. So I joined the Pioneer 2 project. May I go now? If you say "What is your purpose?" - My purpose? Just research. Personal research. I want to know what's living underground on Ragol. That's it. I'm going to the ruins. I don't need any help. ...... I have to go now. If you say "Nothing." - Are you sure? Well, OK then. [Sue leaves.] [Transport down to Ragol...] If you gave Sue your name in "Dr. Osto's Research" and told Bernie about Sue in "Unsealed Door"... [Find Bernie.] Bernie - Oh! It's you again. You're still alive. I don't recall hearing your name before... I'm Bernie. It's not my real name, but everybody calls me Bernie. You? [NAME], eh? Nice name. By the way, do you remember what I said to you the other day? Like I said, I'm helping someone who's trying to solve the Ragol cases. Can you help us? It's not a bad idea because... Uh... [An earthquake occurs.] Bernie - Sorry, I have to go. Talk to you soon. Bye, [NAME]! [Spot a group of hunters.] Unidentified Speaker - !!! Tonzlar - Hey you! Leave now, if you know what's good for you! - It's over. Unidentified Speaker - !!! [Hunters disappear.] [Catch up with them again.] Mujo - !!! Tobokke - You're still alive? ...shoot! - I'm dead. [Catch up with group a third time.] Unidentified Speaker - That HURT! Doronbo - Wha...what happened!? Mujo - You deceived me! Kroe - Glad to see you again! It's me, Kroe. Remember? Sorry to bother you again, but I don't know who else to rely on. [NAME], thanks for distracting the two guards back there. They were arrested. Now we can find the missing hunters. It was a good lesson for Anna. She's been quiet these past few days. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. I'll go back later with these two guys. - Please go back to Pioneer 2 first. If you did not give Sue your name in "Dr. Osto's Research" and defeated Kireek in "Waterfall Tears"... [Find Kireek.] Kireek - I've finally found you. My new rival. I only fiNd purpose, liFe, when In battle. It meAns that yoU make me aliVe now. I thouGht tHere was nothIng here... I Am so happy... - What!? WheRe does this fEEling come from??? My...braiN... ...Ghhh... [Transport back to Pioneer 2.] Soldier - Did you arrest him? That's great! Everything will be straighted out soon. Force - Do you know the rumor? Black Paper isn't an individual. One of "them" also hides on Pioneer 2. Kroe - You really came here, after my simple request! ...... We're orphans. It hasn't been easy for us to survive by ourselves... Perhaps Anna was tempted by his superficial kindness. But it's OK now. We can support each other. What? How did I deceive him? Oh, it was easy. We're twins. I look like Anna. I just pretended to be Anna to stay with him. I knew it was risky, but I believed you would come, [NAME]. Let me say thank you again. DOn't forget to get your Meseta. - Well... I can see you again later, can't I? Clerk - Quest completed. Receive your reward at the counter. Narrator - You've been awarded 2000 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Secret Delivery ===================================================== Deliver a top secret package underground! Client: Simons Quest: I want this package to be dropped off on Ragol, underground, immediately. Reward: 4500 Meseta Simons - So you're [NAME]. I'm Simons Olo. I work at the lab. Please deliver this box to Ragol as soon as possible! Sorry, it's heavy. It contains...um... I can't tell you. I think you've heard about the mutants in the underground. This box will be used to study those animals! Got it? Anyway, we have no time to waste! Finish this job as soon as you can! What should I do if Dr. Montague discovers what I've done...! Now, please hand it to YN-0117 on floor B2! Quickly! Just put it on YN-0117 directly. It's easy. You can contribute to the mission... Err! I mean, the study. - You're running out of time! Please go! If you're late, YN-0117 will...! Oh, my poor YN-0117! Soldier in Guild 1 - I just don't understand scientists at all! How do they get so attched to their machines? Soldier in Guild 2 - Why are you still here? Don't you know how critical this missi... Uhh... nothing. Forget about it. Man in Town - Do you have any photon weapons? I can't believe it! Photons are out of date! Imagine the strongest weapon ever... So hot that it'd be cool! If you were a hunter, would you want one? [If you say "!!"] - You're clever indeed. Hey, listen to me. I'm actually a member of a secret organization known as "WEAPONS." You really don't know? Are you really a hunter? A group of Freemasons seeking an ultimate weapon! "WEAPONS!" You are interested in it, aren't you? [If you say "!!"] - Right, right. That's very natural. If you want, I can recommend you for membership. But know this! It's not easy to become a member of "WEAPONS." You'll need to get final approval from our boss. And to meet our boss, you'll need approvals from the other members. We have 6 people now. Me, the boss and 4 other members. You can meet our boss if you get approvals from the other 4 members. I don't know where they are or what they're doing now. We have a rule that we never interfere with each other. I'll admit you. Take this as evidence of my appoval. Narrator - Got "WEAPONS EMBLEM!" Man - It'll be an arduous task becoming a member of "WEAPONS." Good Luck! [If you say "??"] - You aren't? OK, that's all. See ya. [If you say "??"] - Perhaps you'll never realize what I was asking you... Man in Town [Regardless of how you ended up answering the above questions] - The ultimate weapon! When can I see such a wonderful thing?! Man in Town [after returning with four approvals] - Good, good. You got all the approvals. Now all you have to do is see our boss. Don't get her angry! Man in Town [after obtaining Akiko's Frying Pan] - What? Was she angry? Oh, that's bad! That's very bad! Woman Near Shops (Akiko) - He's left without doing any work again... Perhaps he's doing that stupid thing with those emblems... Akiko [after returning with four approvals] - Hey you! The one with the "WEAPONS" emblem. My husband gave that to you, right? He's doing it again... What? Boss? Ah, I see. It's me! Are you surprised? Ha, ha. You've got approval from 5 members? What a good obedient kid you are! Anyway, you did a good job. Let's see... OK, here you are. I used it for a long time. It's very good. If you see the man who gave you that emblem again... tell him that his boss says that he has to return immediately. Narrator - Got "Akiko's Frying Pan"! - Now where's that man? He better be... [Transport down to Cave 1.] [Encounter Bernie] Bernie - That seems to be an energy pack. EM-05? Is that a product number? I have no idea. YN-0117? I've never heard of it before. I didn't know that there was another hunter who worked alone here... I realized that I'm just one of their tools. - What am I doing here? I'm a professional, so I can't say, of course. I know what you mean... A transmission from a girl was suddenly lost. I'm trying to track it. [Encounter a RAcast in some kind of recharging chamber.] RAcast (Type:O) - ...wait mode... ...input command... [If you choose "Cancel"] - ...canceled... [If you choose "EM-05"] - ...error... ...exclude mode... [RAcast attacks you.] [If you choose "YN-0117"] - Transmission to YN-0117 is not available now. Bio-structure analysis is not available now. [Transport to Caves 2] [Encounter two RAcasts (Type:O and Type:W) just as in Caves 1... same dialogue, too.] [Find Elenor unconscious] Elenor - ...sleep mode... ...input command... [If you choose "Cancel"] - ...canceled... [If you choose "EM-05"] - ...clear sleep mode... [If you choose "YN-0117"] - ! Yes, master! YN-0117 is waiting for your... your...? ...I can't move... Oh, excuse me, but I think that's mine. From Master Olo? Perfect! Would you mind inserting it into my back for me? [Elenor stands up] My name is Elenor. I'm an android who's serving Dr. Montague. I ran out of energy and was stuck here. Oh, it's you! [NAME]! How are you and your Mag? ...... I'm glad it was you who came to help me again. Oh, I'm on duty! Well, I'm OK now. Thank you very much. Please tell Mr. Olo that I'll go back after I complete my mission. [Elenor disappears.] [Return to Pioneer 2] Soldier in Guild 2 - Good job. Now we can proceed with the mi...research. Soldier in Guild 1 - Was it completed? Thank you. Simons will tell you about the reward. Simons - Did you make it in time? Excellent! Thank you! You saved my life! I won't get scolded now! Thank you very much. Please visit the Guild counter for your reward. - YN-0117, please come back. I'm anxiously waiting for your return. Narrator - You've been awarded 4500 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: The Grave's Butler ===================================================== Grave's butler disappeared. Why? Client: Matha Grave Quest: My butler, Blant, has disappeared. He's been like a father to me. Reward: 3500 Meseta Matha - My name is Matha Grave. My parents are so busy. They're scientists. So I'm usually alone. Blant is our butler. He always took care of me. But he's disappeared. Where is he now? I miss him. I want to find him! Please help me. Please find Blant! RAmar in Guild - Blant was a responsible man with a good heart. He taught me much... If he left, there had to have been a good reason. FOmarl in Guild - Blant was a renowned Ranger. Why did he disappear, leaving Matha behind? HUcast in Town - Blant? I saw him in the cave. I've never seen him wear so much protection before. What's he doing? He was in a rush. I'm not sure if he's still in the cave. [Transport down to Cave 1.] Message Pod - If possible, please deliver my message to Miss Matha Grave. I'm Blant. A butler to the Grave family. The Graves are famous scientists: a biologist and a physicist. They've been working hard, doing research for the government. So I've been taking care of their only daughter, Miss Matha Grave. Their research was top secret, the government alone knew what they did. When Mr. Grave was chosen as a crew member for Pioneer 1, he told me, "We won't be bringing Matha with us. Don't let her go on Pioneer 2." I was angry with his order at that time, but... Well, here comes another monster. Maybe later... MATHA: .... Blant .... Message Pod - Mr. Grave said nothing, but he showed me his computer monitor. I can't describe it, but I saw some results from genetic engineering. Mr. Grave kept silent. A chill ran down my spine. Is the "Pioneer Project" really just an immigration plan?! MATHA: ...Genetic engineering? ... Valletta - No thank you! I'm busy! What? You're looking for a Ranger? Sorry! Well, I think he was going this way. - No thank you! I'm busy, OK!? Oops, you again. Are you still looking for him? Let's see... He went this way. Hopkins [NOTE: Same name and class, but different appearance than the Hopkins from the Online Quests.] - Did you see it? There was a capsule with some messages inside. Frightening. Message Pod - Matha Grave missed her parents terribly. She wanted to see them. So, I decided to get on Pioneer 2 with her, ignoring his order. I felt uneasy. What was Mr. Grave's mission? What was waiting for us? I instinctively reached for my armor when we reached Ragol. I had to see Pioneer 1 and uncover the truth. If Ragol was really a dangerous place, I had to keep Matha safe. I sneaked into the transporter without telling her anything. MATHA: ......... [Transport to Caves 2] Message Pod - What I saw on Ragol was terrible. The Central Dome was destroyed. Wandering monsters. I never encountered anyone from Pioneer 1. Where were Mr. and Mrs. Grave? If they aren't alive, Matha will be very upset... MATHA: ......... Message Pod - I've been wounded pretty badly from battles... I can't look for Mr. Grave. Too weak now... I don't think I can return to Matha either. It's all over. They're surrounding me. They're coming. I'm satisfied with my life. My only regret is, I've left Matha alone. She was always alone, without her parents. And now, I can no longer take care of her. Matha, listen to me. Your father and mother left without you. It was because they loved you so much. Don't misunderstand. I don't know who is reading this message... but please tell Matha. Tell her that I hope she lives with courage... I'll always be with you. Always... So long... ..... MATHA: ... Blant ... Matha - ..... Well, [NAME]... That's enough, thanks. Can you take me back to Pioneer 2? [Non-quest related lines] Matha - Ugggh! [when injured] - Thank you very much. [when healed] - !!! [when killed] [Telepipe opens, return to Pioneer 2] HUcast in Town - Really? I miss Blant... Little lady, he was a faithful man. He was always thinking of you. You have to live as Blant hoped you would. Be strong. Be kind. That's his gift to you. - I hope that little girl understands... FOmarl in Guild - Blant...! Is it true? RAmar in Guild - Blant's a very kind and noble person. Yes, indeed. Narrator - You've been awarded 3500 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Knowing One's Heart ===================================================== Messages from a dead friend? Client: Elly Person Quest: I got a message from a friend, Calus, who was onboard Pioneer 1. He's alive! Find him! Reward: 3500 Meseta Elly - I'm Elly. Elly Person. I happened to meet Calus on the Net, and we've been sending messages. He was aboard Pioneer 1. We promised to meet on Ragol when Pioneer 2 arrived. Then suddenly, the messages just stopped. I heard that Pioneer 1 was destroyed when it exploded. But I got a message from him a few days ago. He's alive! I want to go and rescue Calus. I need your help. Please go with me! RAmar in Guild - Do you know what BEE is? [If you say "Yes."] - If you receive something from Ragol, it must be sent through BEE. [If you say "No."] - Are you really a [CLASS]? OK, I tell you about BEE. It's a data transporting system that the council placed on Ragol. With this system, we can send messages from here almost instantaneously. HUnewearl in Town - Survivors on Ragol? No, I've never seen any. I've only seen people from Pioneer 2. Was Pioneer 1 really destroyed? [Enter Transporter Room] Elly - Well, just a minute... Let me send a message to Calus. "Calus, this is Elly. I'm coming to Ragol to find you. Where are you?" Perhaps he'll send me a reply soon. Then it'll be easier to find him. OK, let's go. [Transport to Mine 1] Elly - I just got a message! "Elly? R..lly? Don't c..me he..e." It's from Calus! He's alive! Calus, I'm going to save you. - I got another message. "D..n't com.. here." What's he talking about? He must be in danger! Come on! Let's hurry! - I got another message. "Elly, I'm fine. It was a joke. After the explosion, I took refuge in an underground mine. I want to see you. Please come here." I'm relieved to know that he's OK now. Calus is always like this. He likes joking. He always makes me so happy. He's very clever. And he always gives me good advice. Oh, I'm saying too much. It's strange. I've never met him before. Finally, I'll see him. I'm excited, but I'm a little nervous. I'm sorry. We don't have time to waste right now. Let's go. [If you told Sue your name in "Dr. Osto's Research" and have then been following the Bernie sub-plot through "Unsealed Door," "Waterfall Tears," and "Black Paper," Berine appears here.] Bernie - [NAME]! You're so tough! One of my comrades died. I'm not real happy now. It's very dangerous around here. Hey, have you seen the monsters down below? I haven't seen any yet. There's lots of debris from Pioneer 1. What happened there? ...... Pioneer 1 was mining something. The ruins... Destroyed Pioneer 1. We need more info. Oh, I've got to go! Sorry. I'm looking for my company. I'll see you later. Don't get killed! OK? Bye! [Further on...] - Here's another message. "You'll see an entrance to the mine if you go straight." Now, we must be very close to him, right? - Is Calus here? I've been looking forward to meeting him for such a long time. Calus, are you OK? I'm here to see you. - A message! "Don't come in, Elly! Get away from here!" ??? Wha...what the...? [Enter room with a computer in it.] Calus - ..... Elly...? Elly, are you OK? Elly - !!! Is "he" a machine?! Calus - Elly, I really enjoyed talking online with you. I didn't want you to see the truth. But I didn't want to deceive you. And I did want to see you, really... I was going to tell you everything when you and Pioneer 2 arrived. But... then that huge explosion occurred. I have no idea what happened to us. I only know that I was hacked by something after the accident. I'm slipping away. I'm changing into something that isn't me... I feel as though I need to seek an organic body. But I don't know why. Something has customized Pioneer 1's machines to attack Pioneer 2. I didn't want you to come here. Something could've attacked you. But it sent you messages to lead you here... I'm really happy to know that you are safe. I really wanted to see you... just once. Elly - Once? Why once, Calus? Calus - I'm struggling against the hacking, but I'm losing. I've concluded that the only option left is to shut myself down. All systems will be down shortly. I'll terminate. Elly - Wait! Calus, wait! What should I do? I don't want to lose you. Wait. That's it. A back-up! I have to at least have his back-up! Calus - . .. ... .... Back-up completed. Elly - Calus... [Inspect computer again] Calus - System shutdown... Elly - Let's go back to Pioneer 2. [Non-quest related lines] Elly - Ugggh! [when injured] - Thanks! [when healed] - Sorry, I can't to it... [when killed; "to it" is correct] [Return to Pioneer 2] Elly - ...... I think it's a good time to call it quits now. I really appreciate you helping me out. Don't forget to visit the counter at the Hunter's Guild. HUnewearl in Town - An engineer on Pioneer 1 was working on an "independent computer." His name was Dr. Calus. I heard that he passed away when he was young. RAmar in Guild - What's wrong? You look sad. Are you OK? It seems that something serious is going on. Sorry, forgive me. Narrator - You have been awarded 3500 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Dr. Osto's Research ===================================================== Find Dr. Osto's notes. He was on board Pioneer 1! Client: Three scientists Quest: We want to see Dr. Osto's research memo. He is a renowned doctor who was on board Pioneer 1. Reward: 5500 Meseta Scientists - Have you read the latest research notes about Ragol? These strange mechanical enemies appeared in No Man's Mines. We are assuming that Pioneer 1 did some studies there. After that explosion, the area unexpectedly started working again. So, here's your job. Go and find Dr. Osto's documents. If our assumption is correct, he must have left his research data. Use this disk when you find his computer. Narrator - Got Security Disk! Scientists - You can unlock the security system with it. Access his data and bring it back to us. Good luck. - Dr. Osto was renowned for his work in electricity and genetics. He and Dr. Montague are two of the greatest scientists in the world. Dr. Osto was sent to Ragol by the council. - What? All data regarding Dr. Osto was deleted from Pioneer 2! What was he doing on Ragol? Everything is a mystery... Dr. Montague - Where is Elenor? I haven't finished her maintenance yet... It seems that her emotional range is just a wee bit too wide. I want to try a few more patterns for her. Dr. Montague [If you have completed "Doc's Secret Plan"] - Hello, [NAME]! Long time no see. Elenor wanted to see you again. Oh, yes! Did I tell you about the weapon? It's completed! Ha, ha, ha. I am quite confident of its quality! You can find materials in the mines or in the ruins. Ha, ha, ha... - I can make you one if you bring me some materials. You can find the materials in the mines or in the ruins. Ha, ha, ha... Dr. Montague [If you have completed "Doc's Secret Plan" and you have a monster part] - Hey, you have some very good quality material! I'll make a weapon for you with that material! Stay here. Sorry to make you wait. But take a look at this. Weapons are made using compressed Photon energy technology. This was made using the same procedure, but with another energy source. This Photon energy was drawn from the monsters living underground. Disturbing? Not at all! Ha, ha, ha. Narrator - Got [ITEM NAME] Soldier - It's a real pain guarding Dr. Montague. He's a doctor, but he's still very young. [Transport down to Ragol... find Hunter.] Tonzlar - Sorry. I was ordered to kill anybody who came over here... - ...... You... You'll die if you get too involved. [Find Sue.] Sue - Aagghh!! You frightened me! Are you a [CLASS] from Pioneer 2? Are you going to the mine? Me? Well, I'm going there as well! ...... Hey, we need to cooperate, don't we? Right, right. Cooperation. Just until we finish investigating the mines. A great idea, right? It'll be easier for both of us! Let's go! - Is this the first time you've been here? It's my first time. Ah, yes. I came here because I took a quest. Same as you. - Won't open? Is the mechanism broken? ...... Let me take care of it. - See? I have the knack. - I'm glad I saw you. I was feeling helpless. I lost sight of my friend. It was so lonely here. I thought I'd never see anyone ever again. By the way, where are you going? ...... I see. It's a secret. OK, I won't ask you. [Meet Ranger.] Gekigasky - Su...! ...! [Arrive at computer.] Computer - Main computer... ...Access denied. Sub-computer... ...Accessed. Searching OSTO HYLE.. ... hit 1 item. Code required. If you choose... "Cancel." - Canceled. ...... [This repeats until you choose "Use the disk."] If you choose... "Use the disk." - ...... Accepted. Starting transfer... ...Facility data... ...Beta772 process... ...Excavation Notes... ...Beta772 overrun data. Data transfer done. Sue - ...... Wow, you're very good with computers... That's surprising! Are you searching for Dr. Osto's report? Me too. I came down here to get his information. Are you...? ...... No, nothing... Anyway, we have the same objective. Let's help each other. Let me copy that data. Is that a problem? - OK... My job is done. But I want to see if I can find any other records. And I have to find my friend. It's time to say good-bye. See you. ...... I don't know your name. Will you tell me? If you say... "Sure." - [NAME]... My name's Sue. It was fun working with you. See you later! If you say... "No. sorry..." - Oh yeah? Hmm, OK then. I think it's an appropriate choice. See you later! [Return to Gekigasky after Sue leaves.] Gekigasky - You... You better forget about what you saw today... [Non-quest related lines] Sue - Time to wipe them out! [when attacking] - Thanks! [when healed] - Hey, you with me? [if idle too long] - Haaah! [when using attack technique] - No problem! [when casting Anti technique] - Umph! [when injured] - Ow! [when injured] - !!! [when slain] [Transport back to Pioneer 2.] Scientists - Excellent! Are they Dr. Osto's files!? Perhaps we can find out what happened on Ragol by examining them. Thank you very much. Visit the Guild counter to receive your Meseta. - Anyway, it's great to know that you found his data! We'll study it! - I can't believe this! You say you saw strange men in the mines? What can we extract from this data!? Narrator - You've been awarded 5500 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Unsealed Door ===================================================== We've unlocked Dr. Osto's report! I want to see what he uncovered! Client: Three scientists Quest: We want to see sample Beta772, mentioned in Dr. Osto's records. Reward: 5500 Meseta Mome - Hello, [NAME]! It's me, Mome. Don't you remember me? I was in white when you met me before. I asked you to find Dr. Osto's data... Remember? We examined his data and we know what he was studying now. He was doing research on unknown bio-cells. Wonderful! The test sample called Beta772 is especially interesting. We believe Beta772 is the key to solving the mystery of the animals. So I want to see it! I want to see Beta772 with my eyes. Dr. Osto wrote that they lost control of it and it escaped underground. There's a possibility that it's still alive. Go with me and find it. This is a summary of Dr. Osto's data regarding Beta772. YOu can read it if you select it from the Quest Board. Narrator - Got Data 1, 2, 3! Mome - First of all, I want to check his computer. Let's go. Scientists - I agree that Dr. Osto's research was amazing. But I think he was too arrogant. Creating a new lifeform is dangerous... It might even have some bearing on the Pioneer 1 accident. - Maybe Dr. Mome is correct... Or maybe he isn't. Nobody knows. It was a worthwhile trip, looking for the truth. Soldier - Hang it! Why do I have to guard such a little baby? A genius in bio-technology!? Ha! Dr. Montague - Where is Elenor? I haven't finished her maintenance yet... It seems that her emotional range is just a wee bit too wide. I want to try a few more patterns for her. Dr. Montague [If you have completed "Doc's Secret Plan"] - Hello, [NAME]! Long time no see. Elenor wanted to see you again. Oh, yes! Did I tell you about the weapon? It's completed! Ha, ha, ha. I am quite confident of its quality! You can find materials in the mines or in the ruins. Ha, ha, ha... - I can make you one if you bring me some materials. You can find the materials in the mines or in the ruins. Ha, ha, ha... Dr. Montague [If you have completed "Doc's Secret Plan" and you have a monster part] - Hey, you have some very good quality material! I'll make a weapon for you with that material! Stay here. Sorry to make you wait. But take a look at this. Weapons are made using compressed Photon energy technology. This was made using the same procedure, but with another energy source. This Photon energy was drawn from the monsters living underground. Disturbing? Not at all! Ha, ha, ha. Narrator - Got [ITEM NAME] [Quest Board Data] Data 1 - I collected cells from the captured animals. Vitality, procreation, adaptability from the DNA samples, all A rank. I started several tests with them. Beta772 reacted remarkably. These characteristics was found after Beta772 contacted other animals. 1. Fusion It takes cells of other animals to evolve. 2. Transplant It transplants its cell into other animals. Animals that acquire Beta772's cells behave differently. Beta772's cells affect even insects and plants. Everything... It also makes them prone to aggressive behavior. Data 2 - Beta772 suddenly began to grow right after the earthquake yesterday. I noticed that it began self-replication. Cell count increased. It's already over 2m. It will become roughly 10m in one month. Data 3 - Beta772 rampaged when we tried to move it to a bigger case. 23 staff members were injured. 6 killed. Beta772 ran into the drain pipe. It must be captured immediately. Based upon the data we have collected, Beta772 will contact other creatures in order to breed. I cannot forecast how it will evolve. It is extremely dangerous. [Transport down to Ragol... find Bernie.] Bernie - Are you...? No, nothing. Never mind. [Meet Sue.] If you gave Sue your name in "Dr. Osto's Research"... Sue - It's you again, [NAME]... The second research? Hey, let me give you some advice. It's not a good idea to be involved with Dr. Osto's research. Be careful of Black Paper... Especially of the Black Hound. If you did not give Sue your name in "Dr. Osto's Research"... Sue - It's you again... More research? Hey, let me give you some advice. You're better off not searching for Dr. Osto's research. [Return to Bernie.] If you gave Sue your name in "Dr. Osto's Research"... Bernie - I think... Have I met you before... hmm? I'm not very good at remembering people, but I think I know you. Is she your friend? I mean the girl who was talking to you. Could you tell me what she was talking to you about? I'm just curious... If you say... "No, sorry..." - ...... Right. You're not obligated to tell me. I'm sorry. Forget about it. If you say... "Sure." - Hmmm, Su... no, I mean, she gave you a warning... Do you know what Black Paper is? Underground traders who sell weapons, and parts of androids and slaves. No individual runs it. It's a syndicate that runs a black market. Black Hound is an android that was created solely for battle. I heard that Pioneer 2 had one. I don't know what you want, but be careful if you want to stay alive. ...... Just one more thing to tell you. That girl is a member of Black Paper. Be careful. [Find lab area.] Narrator - OSTO HYLE lab #1 Bio-technology R&D Lead Researcher [Find computer.] Mome - Does it still work? Please check the drain pipe from the mine. You read about it in the data, didn't you? We need to find where Beta772 has gone. Computer - "Access denied..." "Subcomputer... ...Accessing..." "Searching... Pipe Structures..." Mome - I see... According to this, the drain pipe is located somewhere above here... Perhaps the water's sent through the drain pump. The water seems to be running through the pipe above this area. [NAME], what do you think? - If Dr. Osto's memo is correct, Beta772 must be quite large by now. It has the ability of self-replication. - The original shape of the Beta772 looked like an arthropod. ...Like a centipede. [Fight De Rol Le.] Mome - It's a monster and nothing else...! We made a big mistake! What should we do? Even Dr. Osto couldn't control it. We can't do anything... But... ...Oh, yes. Yes! There's another genius aboard Pioneer 2! Yes, that's a good idea. We have to ask him about that monster... [NAME], this is enough! Let's return to Pioneer 2! [Non-quest related lines] Mome - All right. [when healed] - Ouch! [when injured] - I'm dead! [when slain] [Transport back to Pioneer 2.] Mome - To be frank with you, I didn't think I was going to make it back... His study exceeds what little we know about the science... Thank you. Go to the Guild for your reward. - Thank you for the help. Go claim your reward. Scientists - We'll ask Dr. Montague to research that cell. It's too difficult for us to handle... - The fear that Dr. Mome experienced might be the only truth on Ragol. ...I'm scared. Narrator - You've been awarded 5500 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Doc's Secret Plan ===================================================== Dr. Montague is a renowned scientist in bio-technology. He needs help. Client: Dr. Montague Quest: I need someone to test my prototype weapon. Reward: 9000 Meseta Dr. Montague - [NAME], I heard about you from Elenor. I'm Jean Carlo Montague. A scientist. Please call me Jean. Simply speaking, I'm a genius. Ha, ha, ha. I've been studying Ragol's lifeforms. The council begged me to. Even the monsters and machines underneath. By the way, why are officers so paranoid? I don't like it. Don't bring the animals back here! Don't go to Ragol! Don't, don't! So I called you. Ha, ha, ha. I want to try an experiment, but the council must not know. As you can see, I'm a Force, but I am also a blacksmith. I created a weapon based on the data I collected from Ragol. I want you to test the prototype. Elenor said you were reliable. It's very simple. All you have to do is kill monsters with it. You can bring Elenor with you. She will give you more information. Everything clear? It'll be fun. Ha, ha, ha. Elenor - Hello, [NAME]. I'm glad to see you again. Well, let me inform you about the experiment. The experiment should be done in the ancient ruins. I already placed the test devices on a certain floor. [NAME], you need to kill the monsters at these locations. The test devices record data and also absorb Bio-Photon energy. I placed 3 devices on the floor. Don't forget to bring the test devices back after the battles. ...... [Elenor gives you test devices.] A...are you ready? Let's start. Dr. Montague - Elenor's a very advanced android. She is my masterpiece. Look at her emotional expressions! Ha, ha. Recently, she's been talking about you. A lot! Pretty neat, huh? She looks so happy now that she has friends. Soldier in Town - Hang it! Why do I have to guard such a little baby? A genius in bio-technology!? Ha! Man in Town (Simons Olo from "Secret Devliery"?) - I think I've met you before. Oh, you're with YN-0117 again! I guess Dr. Montague is up to something again. I know it's useless trying to stop his secret plan. Be careful. OK? [Transport to Ruins 1] Elenor - [NAME]! The first test area is right here! Test devices activated. Watch out! Monsters are approaching! Narrator - Got Test device 1! Elenor - We've collected all the data we need here. Shall we move to the next area? [Journey further... to second test area.] Elenor - Test area. Devices activated. We'll engage the monsters. Narrator - Got Test device 2! Elenor - OK, we've got the data for this area, too. What? ...Oh, this machine? Doc was saying that it changes the nature of Photon energy...? Sorry, I don't know... I don't have enough info about that. Doc said most animals on Ragol are affected by one type of Photon. [Travel to the waterfall room, the final test area.] Elenor - [NAME], here's the last test area. Devices activated. Be careful! Narrator - Got Test device 3! Elenor - We're all finished. The experiment is done. Let's go back and report to the Doc. [Non-quest related lines] Elenor - Thank you very much. [when healed] - Ugggh! [when injured] - Umph! [when injured] - !!! [when killed] - Time for a breather. [when idle too long] [Return to Pioneer 2] Simons Olo - Have you completed his quest? I want him to return to the lab as soon as possible. We have to report on the unusual Photon energy on Ragol... (sigh) Soldier in Town - Doctor Montague has disappeared... I'll be punished unless I find him... Elenor - Ah... ...Well... I...if you... N...nothing. [Elenor disappears.] [Enter Guild] Elenor - The doctor is satisfied with your results. And it was a lot of fun for me... ...... ...... ...well... Please ask Doc about the reward. Dr. Montague - Finished? All right. Guess what. The weapon you used was made using the data from the monsters on Ragol. Surprised? Ha, ha, ha. I found out that the Photon energy on Ragol is unusual. I thought about using the extraordinary power of Photons in weapons. So I created it. Amazing, huh? If you bring me some materials, I think I can make a weapon for you. Maybe next time. Now, your job is done. Please get your reward at the Guild counter. - What's wrong? Please get your reward at the Guild counter. Narrator - You've been awarded 9000 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: Seek my Master ===================================================== A hunter's lost on Ragol. What happened? Client: Shino, android Quest: My master, 'Great Sword Zoke' disappeared. Help me find him. Reward: 6000 Meseta Shino - Greetings. My name is Shino. [NAME] please help me find my master, Zoke Miyama. I have not received any communication from him since he went to Ragol. What? Oh, I understand. It is true that androids these days are independent. But not I. My exterior has been replaced, but I am an old type model. I have served Mr. Miyama for over three generations. I have always been with my master, but he went to Ragol by himself. He would not allow me to accompany him. So I stayed on Pioneer 2. I have been waiting, because Zoke ordered it. But he has not returned. He has not relayed any messages either. This is very unusual. I am afraid Zoke is in trouble now... The signal from Zoke's swords are registered to my sensor. I can detect them if they are in close proximity to me. I want to find Zoke with my sensor. Please help me. FOnewm in Town - Great Sword Zoke? Of course I've heard of him. All hunters have. I just know him by name. He's a legendary hunter who uses three weapons. I heard the government keeps an eye on him because of his power. He's not that young now. - They say that Zoke is always with his faithful android. Just like you. Tekker in Town - You... Want to hear about the legend of the 4 swords? [If you say "Yes"] - Long ago, the families of 3 famous blacksmiths were executed by a king. The 3 blacksmiths wanted vengeance against the king and the nation. The three blacksmiths and one of their pupils each created a sword. And their nation collapsed soon after. It was said that the four swords led the nation to ruin. These 4 swords were said to have the power to destroy a planet. And Zoke, the Great Sword, had 3 of these 4 legendary swords. The legend was so famous that many created "the 4th legendary sword." There are so many fakes. It's difficult to tell which is the real one. - And Zoke, the Great Sword, had 3 of these 4 legendary swords. [If you say "No"] - You aren't interested in the old story? [Transport to Ruins 1] Shino - ...... No signal on this floor. Let us move on to the next floor. [Transport to Ruins 2] [When leaving the second room, what feels like an earthquake hits.] Shino - ...... It's not an earthquake. [A few rooms later.] Shino - ...... Signal detected. Near here... He must be around here somewhere. Where is he? [Next room] Narrator - Got sword, KAMUI! Shino - Confirmed. This is his right-handed sword. I cannot believe that he left it behind... Look at the walls. These marks were made with swords... Quest Board - KAMUI - AUW 1977 model. Made by Tengai. [Next room] Shino - ...... Signal detected again. It is on this floor. This time...it is him... [Next room -- you find Bernie collapsed on the floor] Bernie - ...... Shino...? Ha, ha, ha... It's a shame... I made a mistake. I wanted to help Zoke, but I was just too weak... - ...Shino ...Zo...ke... ...... [However, if you've been following the "Bernie Sub-Plot," Bernie says this instead.] Bernie - ...... It's you again [NAME]... Ha, ha, ha... It's a shame... I made a mistake. To tell the truth, I had no interest in Ragol, or the government... I just wanted to help Zoke. He was my benefactor. I wanted to help Zoke, but I was just too weak... - - ...Shino ...Zo...ke... ...... [Next room] Narrator - Got sword, YASHA! Shino - This is his left-handed sword. It is broken, too... Residual Photon on the sword...is very unusual. What is this? It is not in my database... Zoke, are you...? Quest Board - YASHA - AUW 2018 model. Made by Kikoku. [Next room, another earthquake.] Shino - ...Again, I felt a tremor... ...... Perhaps I can say that I have a bad premonition about this. If I were a human. ...... ! Signal detected... Zoke always brings three different swords. One of them must be here. Zoke...! [Next room, find Zoke collapsed on floor.] Zoke - ... ... Shi...no...? Shino, why are you here? I told you not to come. This planet is... critical to you. That's why I told you to stay on Pioneer 2. You idiot... ...... Shino, I'm about to die. Give the people on Pioneer 2 my message. Leave here immediately. Right now. Listen, Shino. I appreciate the service you've provided for me over all the long years. You are free now. You can choose to find a new master or to live your own life now. Please do as you wish... - ...... Shino - ...... ...[NAME] thank you very much. I will stay here. "Leave here immediately, Pioneer 2!" I don't know the basis for which he said his last words... But it must be important to Pioneer 2. But for me, it is much more important to be with my master, Zoke. Can you tell the Guild Zoke's message for me? Take this. It is Zoke's sword and it proves you completed this quest. Narrator - Got sword, SANGE! Shino - Zoke, I shall always be at your side. ...... Quest Board - SANGE - AUW 1963 model. Made by Jou'un. [Non-quest related lines] Shino - Umph! [when injured] - Thank you very much. [when healed] - Zoke... [when idle too long] - No, it can't be! [when killed] [Return to Pioneer 2] Tekker in Town - Perhaps Zoke's mind was occupied by the mystery of the swords... FOnewm in Town - Zoke is dead...? I've never met him, but he's highly respected by all the hunters here. I'm so sorry. Narrator - You have been awarded 6000 Meseta. ===================================================== Guild Quest: From the Depths ===================================================== A research team was lost when a big earthquake struck. Find them. Client: Irene, secretary Quest: A big earthquake occured on Ragol. The research team that was underground there has disappeared. Reward: 8000 Meseta Irene - This is an urgent quest from the council. A big earthquake was confirmed under the surface of Ragol. The size of this quake was similar in power to that of the explosion. An army research team was sent to Ragol to investigate the quake. But they haven't returned yet... The army quickly decided to send hunters to find the lost researchers. The council also decided to send hunters. [NAME], we want you to go below the surface of Ragol. According to the lab, the epicenter is located far beneath the ruins. Rescue the research team and also report to us on the status of the area. ...... This is a confidential mission. Don't talk about it to anybody. - This is a confidential mission. Don't talk about it to anybody. ...... [Transport down to Ragol. An earthquake occurs while in a corridor.] [NAME] - !!! [Encounter a large room with two hunters, Takuya and Type:O, sprawled on the ground. They disappear into mist.] Unidentified Speaker - ...? [Another earthquake occurs upon leaving the room.] [NAME] - !! [Enter next room where two other hunters are now standing.] Dacci - It's so cramped here... 100years... Gizel - ...something... inside...me... ...... !! [The hunters disappear in another fog of mist.] [Enter gigantic chamber where a lone Force stands in the middle of the room.] Nadja (Force) - .... who are...you... ...? What...? You came...to save me? Where am I...? I can't remember... We all fell down, and... [Mist swirls around the Force.] Different Voice - Yes...heard that voice... What? Oh, yes... please take me back home... [Mist fades.] Nadja - When we arrived here, there were no traces of the research team... One of us started acting strange... and we heard a voice...beneath us. Are you listening to me? [Even more mist appears around Nadja.] Different Voice - COME CLOSER... ...COME...I... EVOLVE... [Mist fades.] Nadja - But I hear nothing anymore. Hey, are you really listening to me? [Mist returns greater than before.] Different Voice - MYSELF... [Mist fades.] Nadja - What??? Did you say something? [Mist comes back with the same amount of intensity.] Nadja - Wouu... ...! Stop! Stop that! Don't come near me! Noooooo!! [Nadja attacks.] [Encounter Ash on the next level down.] Ash - Who is it? Are you from Pioneer 2? I'm Ash, a hunter! I'm here because the army was asking for help! [Pause] !!! [An earthquake strikes and monsters appear. After they are defeated...] Ash - You...! Hey, do you remember me? It's me, Ash! You saved me that time. I've trained myself to be tougher since then. Do I look different? ...Are you... are you still normal? Huh? !! [Another earthquake occurs.] - Here is... Hey, why are you here? The research team? Oh, they were all killed. I found evidence of it. I saw a strange machine near the monument. It's what caused the quake. If you're going there, let me go with you. I want to become strong like you. You're my role model now. I want to prove to you that I'm better now. Let's go! [Find the machine.] Ash - It's vibrating... Is it reacting to this monument? I think these monsters are strange... The more that are killed, the stronger the next monsters become... It seems like something is controlling them. They just come at us as if they were soldiers ordered to do so... ...... Yes... these unending monsters are fighting to protect something. Did this machine find something significant? ...... [Examine the machine.] Narrator - It's not working... Ash - ...... Was it examining this monument? Perhaps it happened to touch something sealed in this ruin... Earthquake, panicked guys, monsters... Anyway, let's copy the data and then turn it off. Narrator - Got Monument Data! - Machine stopped... Ash - ...... Can you go on ahead? I'll go look for any survivors. [Ash leaves.] If you did not give Sue your name in "Dr. Osto's Research" and defeated Kireek in "Waterfall Tears" and "Black Paper"... [Encounter room where Ash is sprawled on the ground with Kireek over him.] Ash - [NAME]! Watch out! It's him, but... he's not... what he was! Kireek - Waaaaar.... I'll... kill... you... - Ugggh! Gaaah! Narrator - Got SOUL EATER. Ash - Did you defeat him? ...damn... You don't have to worry about me. I'll be along shortly. [Non-quest related lines] Ash - Gyaaah! [when attacking] - Nice! [when healed] - Ow! [when injured] - I died... [when slain] [Transport back to Pioneer 2.] Irene - Were they all dead? Oh... ...... I'm so sorry... I'll send this data to the lab for analysis. You're done. - Thank you. Visit the Guild for your reward.

Client: Lionel Quest: A letter signed by Lionel is asking to rescue "all of him?" Reward: 4500 Meseta Guild Girl - This isn't a typical quest. Let me tell you the story. We received this letter a few days ago. It is from a hunter, Lionel. He's asking for help. It seems that he's on Ragol and he can't move. Go to Ragol, find Lionel and bring him back here. That's your job. Have you ever heard of a system called BEE? (If you say NO): OK, I'll tell you about BEE briefly. It's a data transporter. The Pioneer 2 council set that system up on Ragol for communication. With only a slight time lag, we can receive data directly from Ragol. Of course, the system wouldn't be up without the help of us hunters. [Then jump to the text she says if you say YES.] (If you say YES): That's right. Lionel's letter was transfered via BEE system. Since the client is lost at this time, we're your temporary client. This is the letter from Lionel. Here you go. Narrator: - Letter from Lionel. Found on the ground. Guild Girl - Highlight QUEST on the system menu screen, and press the A button. Then you can read his letter. Got it? Good luck to you. Quest Board - "Letter from Lionel" - I can't move. I have no idea where I am now. I'm Lionel, an android Hunter. Help me. Find all of my parts. It's raining heavily. I'm not sure if I'm in a forest... I see ivied walls around me. Am I in the bottom of a well? Central Dome is in front of me and... the river. [Transport down to Forest 1, proceed to Forest 2.] Doronbo - Are you a hunter, too? How is everything? Me? Ha, ha, ha! I found something very special today. I'll sell it secretly in the city. This must be quite valuable on the black market. How lucky I am. [Doronbo disappears.] [Find Lionel's head] Narrator An android's head! !!! Quest Board - "An android's head." - Excuse me... Are you the hunter who came to rescue me? Sorry that I'm like this. I'm Lionel. I was in Sleep Mode as my energy level was very low. What's wrong? Any problems? (If you say "Originally like that?") Oh, I'm an ordinary android hunter. I have an I.D. [Then proceed to the "Where is your body?" text.] (If you say "Where is your body?") Good question! My body! A strange monster attacked me, and I was heavily damaged. I managed to escape from the monster, but it got worse after that. I dropped my legs and an arm. Then I lost my body... Please find my all missing body parts for me. That's my request. Please!! (If you say "Sorry... I'm scared.") Will you forsake me? Please, reconsider it! I need your help! [You are then given the "Sorry... I'm scared." or "OK, I'll do it." choices again.] (If you say "OK, I'll do it.") Great! Thank you! Can I go with you? Take me. Let's go. Sensors in each part are still working. I can roughly detect their locations. Right and left legs, right arm, and my body with the left arm. Four parts in total. Got it? Hey, be careful! Handle me with care. - I've got a signal from my right arm. It is... in something soft... And in some liquid...? Oh! Sometimes I feel a burning sensation. Do you know of this place? - The right arm should be in this area. Feeling queasy... Is it in something's stomach? [Go back to previously locked room, defeat Hildebear.] Narrator - An android's right arm. Found on the ground. Quest Board - "An android's right arm." - Did yOu finD my right arm? ThANks.

Oh, no! OK, OK! I give up. Here it is. Narrator - An android's body. Found on the ground. [Doronbo disappears] [Enter Guild... talk to reassembled Lionel.] Lionel - Thank you. Now my parts are all connected. I'm now running my aging diagnostic test. What? Do you think that I got damaged? It was in self-sleep mode to protect myself when I'm in danger. The Guild will pay you your reward. Thank you. - The Guild will give you your reward. Thank you. Guild Girl - Lionel is now back to his normal self. Good job.

Client: Pioneer 2 Quest: Mysterious fires are breaking out in the Ragol forest area. Rescue the people caught up in this! Reward: ??? Meseta Chris - Glad to see you [NAME]. I am Chris Paton from the government public peace department. What I am about to tell you is an urgent request. Listen carefully. Huge disasters are occurring in the Ragol forests now. But we have yet to get a handle on the cause. Hurry to the forest area and rescue the people and extinguish the fire. The names of 9-10 victims have been confirmed now. Don't worry about whether or not you have put out a fire before. This latest special equipment protects you from flames and... your normal attacks will extinguish the fire. The weapon you use is of your choice but... Get by without getting near the fire. Use a long-range attack weapon. Also, take this... I'll give you this navitool. Use it to contact me whenever. By contacting me, I think I can offer advice using BEE radar. Also, use it to set the coordinates of the victims when you... Rescue them so we can dispatch transportation to the location. Narrator - Got Navitools! Chris - At this present state, we cannot identify why the fires started. Technique use is prohibited for danger of the damage spreading. Over and out. Our thoughts will be with you. - Now get into gear and get out there! What's your answer? QUEST BOARD - navitools - Chris here. How is it going with the equipment? Contact me when you want to confirm the situation. Hang in there, [NAME]. Man in Town - The bravery it must take to jump in the fire to save others... I sure don't have that kind of bravery.

So what if I thought you were someone else! Lately nothing remarkably grabs me in my work. Maybe going back to basics would be a good thing for me. Now? Just running away from my overbearing wife. Wha-ha-ha! Man in Shop (Oswald) (If you played Online Quest "The Tinkerbell's Dog 2" and defeated Sonic in Janken on this difficulty level.) - Hey, long time no see. It's me, Oswald. ..? Who? Who you say? ... ... ... So what if I thought you were someone else! What do you think? Don't you have something to show me? !! Those gloves...! ...Where'd you get them? Hmm. Wonderful... Nice and used! I finally saw a glorious battle tested item! But it is a material that I have never seen before! Hmmm. That really gets me going! Well now! Give those to me! I'll use them to improve my battle fighting! [If you choose "ACCEPT"...] Come on! Hold on now. [Screen goes black, comes back up a moment later.] ... ... ... Sorry to keep you waiting. This is a new weapon born from your used gloves! Here, take it! Narrator - Got Sonic Knuckle! [If you choose "REFUSE"...] Hmmm... Really? Well, come back if you change your mind.

You can't let that slide you know! Wha-ha-ha! [Transport down to Forest 2.] QUEST BOARD - navitools - Chris here. I see you have arrived in Ragol. Let me brief you on the situation.

One hit kills Dr.D but he can be Reverser'ed, even though his life bar still makes him appear dead.] Dr.D - ... ... ... I am a researcher from the genetic life-form lab. It serves me right...

IS well, it is quite sad... ...But Thanks to you we were able to locate the cause... And the people who could not escape were rescued. I think that is something to be happy about.

I did something that I'm not really proud of... We are so old now. I hope you understand. Don't let that girl worry about you so much. We still have a lot to talk about, but I guess it'll be a while. See you again... over there. ... ... ... Finish playing. [If you choose NO...] - Go back to normal function. Computer terminal [after listening to the message] - Go back to normal function. [Return to Pioneer 2] Alicia Baz - Heath adopted me. He didn't want to get on board Pioneer 1... He refused orders to leave with Pioneer 1 several times. When he was finally forced to go, he told me just before he left that evolution and damnation may be two sides of the same coin. It's all up to the people living in it... We may be in the same situation... Narrator - You've been awarded 18000 Meseta.@winend [sic] ===================================================== Download Quest: Soul of Steel ===================================================== Rescue Ult! Client: Montague Quest: Please! Can you help me find my darling android that I crafted with my own two hands? Reward: ??? Meseta Montague - Heh heh heh. [NAME], so you're the one who decided to take this quest, right? I am Jean Carlo Montague. Heh heh heh. I'm very glad. It was difficult to find someone who'd take this quest. I'm in something of a rush, you see... Heh heh heh. Elenor - [NAME], I'm Elenor. [The following dialogue only happens if you have completed the offline quest "Doc's Secret Plan."] Elenor - Umm, Do you remember me? Montague - Of course we remember you, Elenor. It's been a while, eh, [NAME]? I have to ask you for another favor. [And the rest of the conversation is the same whether or not you have completed "Doc's Secret Plan."] Montague - What I need to ask you is, well, what we want you to do is, to put it simply, go find Elenor's sister. Elenor - Yes, please find my sister! She was kidnapped by some strangers. Montague - What kind of awful people would stoop to kidnapping? Her name is Ult. Heh. I will give you more details later. For now, we want you, [NAME], to go underground with us. There might be some trouble maker on the way. We're counting on you. Heh heh heh. [Montague and Elenor join your party.] Guild Girl near door - Right now, underneath Ragol... Military unit "WORKS" has an operation underway. According to the agreement reached by the military and the hunters... Only authorized personnel are allowed to enter the operation area. Also, a military tribunal has sole jurisdiction over any disputes. Hunters don't even have the right to speak in their own defense. The Hunter's Guild cannot protect you from the military. So please be careful. [As you, Montague, and Elenor leave the Hunter's Guild, a man named Sakon notices you.] Sakon - !? (Strange hat, and that pink android...) (That's...) Hey, you! Where do you think you're going? Come here! [Your group approaches Sakon, who is standing outside the Hunter's Guild.] Sakon - !!! Hey, you! You aren't thinking about going down to Ragol, are you? Hey! It's you! I know who you are. Montague - ... Hmm. Sorry, but I've never seen you before. Sakon - Ha ha ha! Don't try to fool me! Do you know what we have to go through because of you? Oh, well. Right now, underneath Ragol, the Galactic Mobile Infantry 32nd Squadron, WORKS, has an import operation underway. That's why most of the areas on Ragol have been restricted! There're rumors that some people aren't obeying our edict, but... [Sakon takes a step toward Montague and glares at him] If you make any stupid moves, I'll be forced to hurt you. So keep that in mind. Montague - ([NAME], Elenor, there's something fishy about this guy.) Umm... Are you sure you don't need my brain to help you with that operation? Or are you just being arrogant because you have Ult? Sakon - ? I... I don't know what you're talking about, but... This is a very important operation for WORKS. I strongly recommend that you don't interfere. Umm... It's just that, You know. Elenor - Please give us back my sister!! And please don't hurt her! Sakon - !! [Sakon steps toward Elenor] Listen, little android girl. I don't know nothing about your sister. And beside, we're not doing anything to hurt anyone. You got it? [Sakon turns around and takes a step away from your group] How do you even know that she was kidnapped? She might have decided to walk away on her own. OK? Now, if you want to ask more questions, go talk to the Doctor, OK? [Sakon turns to face your group] Allright, this is your final warning! Don't do anything stupid! If you ever enter a restricted operation area... No matter what kind of excuse you may have, WORKS will eliminate you. So don't make me do something that you'll regret. [Sakon looks at you] Hey, you, [CLASS], you too! Ha ha ha ha. [Sakon leaves] Montague - Hmm... [NAME], did he scare you? Don't worry about it. If this was the old WORKS, things would be different. But the soldiers now are nothing. All their best men were lost aboard Pioneer 1. Heh heh heh. [At this point, you are able to beam down to MINE 2 along with Montague and Elenor. However, if you have completed the quest "Doc's Secret Plan", Montague leaves you and heads for the Transporter alone, prompting Elenor to speak with you privately.] Elenor - [NAME]. Ah... I have a favor to ask you. I, I must rescue my sister! I will do whatever it takes! But, I just don't know where to begin. I know I can't do this all by myself. ... Umm... Can you wait here? [Elenor turns her back to you, then faces you again] ... Can you keep this? [Elenor steps forward and gives you something] Narrator - Received "Mag cell"! Elenor - This is a baby Mag. It's very precious to me. My sister has an identical one. What? Oh, why did I...? I don't really know why. I just thought it would be able to help you... Rescue my sister. Please. And please take care of my Mag. ... Montague - Hey! Elenor! Elenor - ! Y, yes! I'm coming! Quest Board - "Mag Cell" - Mag Cell received from Elenor. [Elenor joins Montague by the Transporter. Now you can either proceed to Ragol or go speak with the Nurse who walks around in the Hospital.] Nurse - Busy, busy. People seem to be getting hurt all the time around here. It's OK as long as it's only minor injuries, though. [But if you have the "Accessories" from the Love Check in "Towards the Future" in your inventory...] Nurse - ...! Hey, you! W, wait! That "Accessory"! I can't believe it! That's the "Coral Ring" everybody is dying to get! ... I want one so bad. ... Umm. Would you consider trading your "Accessory"... for my "Bag"? This "Bag" is only given to Medical Center staff. It's pretty valuable. What do you think? It's not a bad deal! Narrator - Exchange "Accessory" for "Bag"? [You have two choices, "Yes" and "No". They are mixed up, however, and "Yes" means "No" while "No" means "Yes."] [If you answer "Yes"...] Nurse - ... Hmm. OK. That's too bad. Oh well. It was worth a try! [If you answer "No"....] Nurse - Are you sure? Ha ha ha. I can't believe someone like you would own such a precious thing. Was this a gift from someone? Oh, well, it doesn't matter. Here is the bag. My boss will be very mad if he finds out. So don't tell anyone. Narrator - Received "Marina's Bag"! Nurse - Ha ha ha. It's a secret! [If you join Montague and Elenor at the Transporter...] Montague - Heh heh. Thanks. I've never been good at dealing with soldiers. They're all such total morons. You can never reason with them. Well, anyway, here's some information for you. As we suspected, there's something very wrong going on. WORKS is a special forces unit within the military. They're sneaky. They often have ulterior motives, so we should go after them first. ... Heh heh. She's such an innocent girl. Oh, never mind... Heh. [You, Montague, and Elenor transport down to MINE 2. Montague is armed with a C-Bringer's Rifle while Elenor has a Level 2 (blue photon) Rifle.] [After you defeat a horde of machines in the first room after the transport...] Montague - Hey, Elenor, do you feel like we're closer to Ult now? Elenor - Ah, hmm... Sorry, I don't know yet. Montague - Oh well, let's move on then. I really don't want to go. Soldiers make me nervous. How do we get into that WORKS-controlled area, anyway? I just don't know how we'll be able to. Hmm... [The next section is made up of three rooms. The western room has a large computer in it. The central room has a northern exit that is being guarded by a man named Ukon. The eastern room has a small computer in it.] [If you examine the computer in the western room...] Narrator - Support Target M-01 UL is being displayed. The computer is locked... [If you examine the computer in the eastern room...] Narrator - There's a computer. It seems to be a transmission terminal for WORKS. [If you speak with the guard...] Ukon - Hey you! What are you doing there? This area is restricted to the Galactic Mobile Infantry, 32nd Squadron, WORKS. Notification has been sent out to all hunters. What? You still want to go beyond this point? Go elsewhere for you monsters or treasure! This is no place for that. You still want to proceed? [You can now choose "OK, I'll go home." or "Yes! I want to!"] [If you choose "OK, I'll go home."...] Ukon - All right, so you understand? Now go. [If you choose "Yes! I want to!", Montague leaves the party and...] Ukon - Do you know what WORKS is? Do you think we'll just let you walk right in? Do you know how easy it is for us to erase your hunter registration? We could make it so you'd never be able to set foot on Ragol again! Now go back to where you came from before I get really mad! [Go to the eastern room to find Montague looking at the computer] Montague - A military transmission terminal... Hmm. I think we can use this. I think we can use this to distract that soldier. Let's see here... [Montague steps up to the computer, screen fades to black and fades back in] OK, we're set. [Montague faces you] Hee hee... Now we need to wait some place a little further off. Let's hide in the next block where the soldier won't be able to see us. Hee hee... [Montague rejoins your group. As you are about to enter the western room...] Montague - He he he... We'll be safe here. ... The area that we're about to enter is controlled by WORKS. Once we enter, we can't go back out. If we return back to Pioneer 2 before our task is done... We won't be able to enter this place again. But that's not a problem. I'm sure we'll find Ult. Hey, it's almost time. [An alarm sounds. The scene cuts to Ukon] Ukon - What's that sound? ... I think it's coming from the block over there. By the terminal... I should go check. Montague - OK, let's go. Let's get through the gate before that soldier comes back! [If Ukon catches you] Ukon - Hey you! How did you get in here? You're disturbing the operation. I don't want to see your face again! [You, Montague and Elenor return to the beginning of MINE 2] [If you get past Ukon, you find yourself in a room with another big computer. If you have not completed "Doc's Secret Plan", this computer gives you the same message as the one in the western room. If you HAVE completed "Doc's Secret Plan", however...] Montague - Hmm. That looks like interesting data. It could be useful... Do you mind if I take a look? [Fade to black, fade back in with Montague standing at the computer] Montague - Hmm... Very interesting. [Montague faces you] Hmm? What was it about? Well, this doesn't apply to us right now, but... Well, I'll try to explain briefly. First of all... This underground facility was being accessed by 3 automatic computers. Each one kept an eye on the others, and maintained balance. Secondly, the AI names of these computers were... Calus Vol Opt Olga Third, access logs show that the first 2 were located in this facility, But the last one, Olga, has no logs after that huge explosion occured. We can't trace it back from here, either. I believe that the route was actually closed from the other side. ? So what, you say? Well, from what can be speculated from this data... The Olga was never here, and a similar lab existed somewhere else. You see... If that's the case, then some kind of transport would be needed. You follow? Even if there is another facility just like this, Where would it be? And why was it needed? You see, I can speculate a great deal from this data. But then, this is all just speculation. Heh. Elenor - I don't quite understand. Montague - Heh. Well, as I said, it doesn't really apply to us directly. Narrator - I think the Mag moved Quest Board - "Mag Cell" - It seems like the Mag Cell is getting bigger. [Montague and Elenor remain by the computer as you continue the search for Ult.] [As you search, there is an earthquake. Montague and Elenor move to a new room during this earthquake. If you go to find them, you see the following cut scene...] Elenor - Uh, Doctor? Can I ask you a question? Montague - What is it? Elenor - Almost every Hunter I've seen has a Mag. How come I don't have one? Montague - Oh. Hmm. I thought I told you this before... You're carrying a baby Mag inside your body. And that Mag is a very important Mag, Elenor. It could possibly change the world as we know it. But it can also be very dangerous, so you need to be careful. So it's your job to keep this baby safe. Do you understand? That's why I won't let you have another Mag. It could harm your baby. This goes for both you and your sister Ult. Elenor - Um. Ah... Um. Montague - You didn't... lose it, did you? Elenor - !!! (Actually, I... ... to [NAME].) ... No, I haven't! Montague - Good. Unless you disconnect the link, it cannot detach itself from you. Don't scare me like that. Heh heh. Narrator - I think the Mag moved Quest Board - "Mag Cell" - The Mag Cell shows signs of movement. [If you join Montague and Elenor in this room, instead of just eavesdropping on them...] Montague - Heh heh. Hmm... [NAME]! Can you search this area a little more? I'm counting on you. Elenor - !!! Don't scare me like that. [NAME]... Were you able to find Ult? Unfortunately, she's not here. [Or, if you have not completed "Doc's Secret Plan", Montague and Elenor are still in the party, and you must examine the computer found in the next block. When you do so...] Montague - Heh. It's really exciting to see such a precise machine. [NAME]! We're counting on you to find Ult! Start searching this area. Elenor - Doctor... Why don't we go look for my sister? Montague - Heh. What are you talking about? We need to gather information. Let's see. What can we find? Ha ha ha. [Then you are left to go look for Ult by yourself] [When you approach a locked door, you see what appears to be a telepipe, and then, Ult appears in a pulse of blue light. Ult is a red RAcaseal armed with a C-Bringer's Rifle.] Ult - Who's there? Elenor? Is it the Doctor? No... I will decide my own destination. No one can stop me. [Ult turns away from you and the locked door opens] Someone is calling me. I must go. It won't do you any good to follow me. I will... I will go to her. Narrator - Mission! Don't lose sight of Ult! [Ult begins to walk away from you. You must follow her without getting too far away] [If you get too far from Ult...] Narrator - You lost Ult... Mission failed! [You are then placed back where the mission started. Montague and Elenor are there.] Montague - Have you found Ult yet? Elenor - Doctor... I still can't sense Ult yet... Montague - I see... There's nothing we can do now, [NAME]! If you stray too far, then you'll lose her. Be careful! Elenor - Doctor! Ult! Montague - !!! [NAME], it's Ult! Be more careful not to lose her again! We'll be right behind you. We're counting on you! Ult - Huh? Who is calling me? Who? [At this point the mission starts over again. This keeps happening until you successfully keep up with Ult.] [If you keep up with Ult until she stops...] Narrator - Don't lose sight of Ult! Mission Accomplished! [Ult glows blue and teleports herself through a locked door. You hit the switch to open the door and follow her into the next room.] Ult - You're still following me? Huh? Who's that? Doctor? Elenor? Montague - Ult! Elenor - Ult! Montague - He he he... Ult! It was you! I'm glad I followed you. Ult? Ult! Don't you recognize me? I can't believe you went and followed those soldiers. What's wrong with you? This isn't at all like you! Ult - Don't come here! I can't... Calling me... Someone is calling me. From the edge... I... [Ult begins to glow with blue light again] Montague - Hmm... Ult isn't acting normal! Elenor! Stop her! Elenor - Huh? Y, yes. [Ult vanishes] Elenor - !? Ah, uh, Ult? Montague - She disappeared... What an amazing phenomenon. She seems to be reacting to something. I'm sensing something strange about the Photons in this area. Maybe it's the abnormal Photons? ... WORKS... Ha ha ha. Interesting. Very interesting, indeed. [As you are about to advance into the next room...] Montague - Hmm... The security seems to be much tighter here. When we advance, we need to be careful. Soldiers and security androids are everywhere. If you get too close, they'll detect us. We need to be very careful. It's not a good idea to travel as a group here. [NAME]! Will you go first? We'll hide here for now. We'll try to remain undiscovered. Narrator - Mission! Advance without being caught by the military androids. [The next four rooms are each being guarded by two robots, Type:O and Type:W. As you advance from room to room, Type:O and Type:W also advance to the next room.] [If you are caught by Type:O...] Narrator - You got caught! Mission failed! Type:O - Intruder detected. According to WORKS Regulation R254... Intruder will be... Eliminated. [Quest restarts from the beginning] [If you are caught by Type:W...] Narrator - You got caught! Mission failed! Type:W - Intruder detected. According to WORKS Regulation R254... Intruder... Eliminate. [Quest restarts from the beginning] [If you make it past the four rooms, you'll find Ult standing in a room by herself.] Narrator - Elude the military androids. Mission successful! [Montague and Elenor run into the room from behind you] Elenor - [NAME], and... Ult is there, too! Montague - Ha ha ha. Ult! I'll never let you out of my sight again. My power of deduction are telling me... It's too dangerous for you to be here any longer. I don't really care about what the military does, just as long as they don't hurt you! Now come, Ult! Elenor - Ult! Let's go home now! Ult - Don't tell me what to do! I want... I want to be free... (I want to evolve) Stuck inside a capsule... (underneath the ground) I'm sick of it all... Montague - Ult! Don't go! !!! Wait, Ult! I can't let her go like this. Can you keep up? Let's go, Elenor! Elenor - Oh, y, yes. I'm OK. Doctor, I will help you! [Montague and Elenor chase after Ult, who goes through the door on the far side of the room. As you go to follow them...] Sakon - Aha! I've finally found you! Now don't move... [Sakon, Type:O, and Type:W have entered the room from the door you came through. Sakon has the Orochi Agito in his hand] Sakon - How did you get in here? I'll give you credit for getting this far. But your luck has just run out. You worthless hunters... Ain't got no respect! I'll take care of the doctor later. First, I'll take care of you. I will teach you a lesson for messing with WORKS! [Earthquake] Sakon - ??? What? What's happening? Could our operation have caused this? We didn't predict anything like this. Oh no! Type:O - Sensors have detected enemies! Estimating a large number of creatures. Type:W - Distance 300... 200... 100... Danger Danger Danger... Type:O - Upgrading to Mode D. Eliminate intruders! Type:W - Eliminate... Sakon - It can't be! This whole area should be under the control of WORKS. But why are they... Is it due to the abnormal Photons effect that the doctor predicted? If that's the case, then I shall destroy everything! Be prepared! I will show you what the military can do! Say your last prayer, and prepare to die! [Four Gillchic(h)s appear in the room. Sakon, Type:O, and Type:W concentrate on attacking you, while the Gillchic(h)s randomly attack any of the four of you.] [Once the Gillchic(h)s, Sakon, Type:O, and Type:W are all defeated...] Sakon - The power of WORKS... Is this... It? ... I won't. I won't be able to face the commander like this. Ugh... I'll never let scum like you disrupt this noble operation. I won't let you get away with this. Ha ha ha ha. I'll blow us all apart! (Mark my works, this operation will succeed. Nothing can stop it!) Loudspeaker - Warning: Emergency! Ruins WORKS Terminal WMC. Incoming transmission from WORKS District 07 Emergency Program activated. All staff evacuate occupied District area. Relocate to a designated shelter. I repeat... This is an emergency! Narrator - Mission! Stop the Emergency Program! Go to the Ruins Computer! [An alarm begins to sound and a 20 minute timer appears onscreen] [Run to the next room. If you have completed "Doc's Secret Plan" offline, and have gotten the Mag that Elenor gave you to evolve twice already, and have told Sue your name in "Dr. Osto's Research", and followed the Sue-Bernie subplot through "Unsealed Door", "Waterfall Tears", and "Black Paper", the scene cuts to Montague, Elenor, and Sue in the next room.] Sue - Long time no see, Doc! Since our home world? Montague - Yeah, I heard that you were here. I thought you got out of this business. Sue - Well, I've got my reasons. ... You're getting involved quite a bit yourself, Dr. Montague. It seems like you're still under surveillance, too. I found your name in Dr. Osto's research from Pioneer 1. I believe it was the military's M plan... He's not only got his hands in the government but other places, too. Montague - Dr. Osto was a great scientist. It's too bad we lost such a good man! But he had a tendency to get too caught up in his research. And when he was like that, he often made very poor decisions. Sue - You too, have that same tendency. Always focusing too much on the research. Maybe I can help you put an end to your habit. Good bye, Doctor! Elenor - An attack is imminent. Should we fight back? Montague - No need, Elenor. Elenor - OK. Temporarily disarming. Sue - I wouldn't do anything like that. So about your partner, [NAME]. What is that all about? Montague - ? What are you talking about? Sue - How much does [NAME] know? Montague - Well... Heh. Elenor - [NAME] is a good person. Sue - ... Oh, well. It doesn't matter. I must agree with you. Sometimes, you don't need to know everything. Your life could be at risk if you know too much. Montague - I thought it would be good to have someone with a more... Objective point of view. Sue - ... OK, one piece of advice for you. Part of the military has been making some strange moves... It's dangerous to move around without knowing what's going on! Nothing positive will come out of it. Especially for Pioneer 2. Montague - I told them that many times, but they never listened. Sue - Why don't you talk directly with Leo Grahart? ... See you. [Sue walks into the teleport to Ruins 3.] Montague - Sue Sue - What? Montague - Osto didn't do his research here. The only facilities here are for mining and refining. That includes the ones below, too. Sue - I know. What's below here is... hell [Scene fades out and returns to your character...] Narrator I think the Mag moved. Quest Board - Elenor's Mag - Mag Cell is getting darker. [Then run into the final room of MINE 2 to find Montague and Elenor alone.] Montague - Are you all right, [NAME]? Everyone from WORKS is running around, screaming. Hmm... What?? Hmm. They sure don't go away quietly, eh? We found Ult, but... she got away again. Something really bothers me. Ult's an older model, but just like Elenor, she's completely autonomous. She shouldn't become that unstable even if someone tried to control her. Hmm. It just doesn't make sense... Wait... And, it happened to Elenor... (Ult did react to the abnormal Photons...) (And she somehow vanished, just like magic...) (It can't be...) (Why would Ult's Evolutionary Emotion Device be activated now?) Elenor - Doctor! Ult seems to have gone down from here! Montague - Good job, Elenor. Hmm... What's that? I have a bad feeling about this area. Elenor, can you collect the data for this area? Elenor - Um... Yes! Scanning... ... ... ... ... ... I can't find anything unusual. Wow! The Photon density in the air is... Rising exponentially! [Earthquake, photon energy appears in the air] Montague - !!! Hmm. I guess we don't have much time. I wanted to collect more data, but... I think we better get out of here. ... (I just hope that operation will fail.) Oh, nothing. We're going to go down now, so come with us as soon as you can. [The screen fades to black, and when it fades back in, Montague and Elenor are gone] [The warp to RUINS 3 is in front of you. When you appear in the Ruins, Montague and Elenor will rejoin your party] Montague - You made it. This is being triggered by WORKS' Self-Destruct Program. [NAME], can you find the computer? If I can get hold of it, I should be able to stop the explosion. Heh he he... Their feeble attempt to protect themselves from my intellect is a joke. They couldn't outwit me if they put all their brains together. Heh. [If you fail to find the computer before the 20 minute timer runs out... there is an earthquake followed by a fiery explosion that engulfs the Ruins in flame. The quest ends.] [As you explore Ruins, you are attacked by monsters. Eventually, you will come to the square room with a raised platform in the center. Montague notices something on top of the platform...] Montague - Wait, [NAME]! Sorry, but something's been bothering me. Hmm. [Montague walks toward the platform] What's that? There's a really strange looking computer over there. Hmm... This one is different from the one in the tunnel. This is from Pioneer 2's military. I can't believe them. They might as well just put up a sign saying, "Terminal Computer, HERE!" Heh heh. [There are two large boulders blocking your way to the west. You attack them each six times to destroy them, then go through the western door. You find yourself in a room with two fences blocking the way. There is also a computer here] Computer - This area is currently restricted. If you wish to enter... [Computer shows another area of the Ruins] ... unlock the gate lock at Block A20K. [You all go back to the square room, then go through the eastern door to arrive at Block A20K. This room contains a timer switch. After you defeat all of the enemies, you use the timer to temporarily shut down the fences that block your way. Past the fences are a warp which leads to the top of the raised platform, and the main computer] [The main computer has two terminals. Montague and Elenor each walk up to one of the terminals] Montague - Let's see what this thing is all about. Hmm... Aha... ... ... Ha ha ha. How's this? I guess they didn't add my intellect into their calculations. Heh heh heh. Narrator - Emergency Program has been cancelled. Stop the Emergency Program! Mission Accomplished! Montague - ... ... Hmm. There's another program hidden here. Looks like we're going to find something interesting, too. ... ... ... ... ... ... Aha! I see now. That's why it was Ult. So it means that this order wasn't given by Leo. But it must have come from someone with special plans for Elenor. There's no way they could have pulled it off with this kind of setup. But... if the program is still running around, that means... What!? [Montague and Elenor turn away from the Computers to face you] [NAME]. It looks like they had this all planned out. ... They did this jus to keep us here. I can't believe we fell for such a simple trap. First of all, this Self Destruct Program bought them some time. Their ultimate objective is to release Ult's power. The abnormal Photon levels were catalyst... It... Well, they were planning to trigger the circuit I hid inside Ult. What a simple plan! I can't believe their stupidity, though! They still won't be able to control anything! I just can't take it anymore. How could they believe that they'd ever actually control such power? That primitive equipment could never contain that kind of power! Not just this area, but the whole infrastructure of Ragol would... Phew... Anyway, we don't have much time. Let's go get Ult! I believe that is our best course of action for now. That WORKS! Messing with my little baby... They are going to pay for this! [The scene cuts to another part of Ruins 3. Sakon is leading Ult somewhere] Sakon - Ha ha ha. We're almost there, Ult! I must deliver you to the designated location. Then the operation will be complete! Those guys must have figured out that they've been duped, by now! We better hurry. [Photon energy appears in the air] Ult - Uh... My body. My body is heating up. I can't take this! Let me go free! [Ult begins to radiate with white light] Sakon - !! No! She's going out of control! This wasn't predicted in the simulation! How much power does this thing have? [Sakon steps toward Ult] OK, good girl. Calm down, Ult! Ult - !!! No!! Don't come any closer... [Huge amounts of photon energy appear in the air and flow into Ult's body. A fiery explosion fills the room. The scene then cuts back to you, Montague, and Elenor.] Montague - Hmm. An explosion? We're getting close, very close! No... Not Ult!? [Elenor looks off the edge of the platform] Elenor - !!! No! Ult! [Ult teleports into the room, walks through it, and goes out the door.] Elenor - Ult! Please wait! Montague - No! Ult! Don't go any further! Ult! ... OK, we've got to hurry! We must find Ult. We're not going to let WORKS get away with this. [If you look at the computers again...] Narrator - It seems like the runes are being researched. It looks like the research has been temporarily suspended. [Run to the southern part of the square shaped room. There are three doors to go through.] Elenor - ... Doctor, where did Ult go? Montague - Hmm. Let's split up and try to find her. Elenor, can you start with the hallway over there? I'm going to start looking here. [The party splits up.] Narrator - Mission! Find and capture Ult! Predict Ult's route! ...And when she stops! [If Ult walks through the area Elenor is searching...] Elenor - [NAME]! Doctor! Ult is here! Can you help her? [If Ult walks through the area Montague is searching...] Montague - Ha ha ha. [NAME]! Elenor! I found Ult! Come here, quickly! [If you find Ult...] Ult - Somebody... come and... get me... [Ult teleports to a room that has a chasm in it, which divides it into two rooms.] [When you reach Ult in the chasm room...] Montague - Ult! Elenor - Ult! [Montague and Elenor run into the chasm room from opposite sides, so the three of you together "capture" Ult.] Narrator - Find and capture Ult! Mission Accomplished! [You, Montague, and Elenor now stand facing towards Ult, who has her back to the chasm.] [The music changes from the typical Ruins music to a piano version of the first half of "Can Still See The Light", the PSO Ending Theme.] Ult - !!! Doctor? Elenor? Montague - Ha ha ha. Great timing. There's no way out. Ha ha ha. Ult! Come here! Elenor - I'm so glad that you're safe. I was worried sick! Ult - Elenor... Thank you. But, I must... Ugh! My body... (Need to get out...) My body is heating up... (Get outside...) Montague - No! Ult is fusing with the abnormal Photons... My poor baby! Idiots! WORKS, and their simplistic plans... Ult wasn't made to handle this! She's still just a prototype! She's not built to take this kind of punishment. The abnormal energy!!! Elenor. Quickly. Download Ult's data! Elenor - Doctor? !! Y, yes! I understand! Ult - ... Listen to me while I am still... Myself. Doctor, Elenor... Elenor - U, Ult... Montague - !! Elenor. Don't stop! Continue the download! Ult - I. I... I've always been inside the capsule in the lab. I want freedom... Elenor, I always envied you. I wanted to create my future with my own hands. That was my dream. Then... I received a telepathic call from Ragol. It called to me... "I want to free myself," it said. Whatever it was, it wanted the same thing I did. Because even now... [An earthquake] Ult - No. It didn't matter what the reason was. I just needed someone to prod me... But it turned out that I was only being selfish. I never knew that... I had it inside of me. It feels strange. It doesn't feel like it's part of me. It's like a creature that thirsts for fresh blood. Insane... hungry... And it was to same as that... something... I had that hunger. A hunger for freedom, to be like Elenor. My control device could not hold me back from my desire for freedom. I... I should've listened to the Doctor. I never should've come down to Ragol. ... I'm so sorry. Can you forgive me? Doctor, Elenor, and [NAME]. You came to get me. Thank you. For risking your lives for me. [An earthquake. Ult starts to glow blue.] Ult - Ugh! Ahhh!! Ahhhhhh!!!! [Another earthquake. This one continues to rumble over Ult's words.] Ult - My final request. Leave. Run away... [Ult opens a telepipe to Pioneer 2, then she teleports herself over to the other side of the chasm.] Elenor - Doctor! Montague - Elenor, it's too dangerous to stay here anymore! Emergency escape back to Pioneer 2! I'm sorry, Ult. Hang in there. [Montague walks to the pipe but sees you and Elenor do not move.] Montague - !! Come here, [NAME]! Elenor!!! [If you do not have Elenor's Mag, or if it has no evolved three times, this is what happens next..] Elenor - I can't... Take this any more! Ult! [Photons flood into Ult. There is a huge fiery explosion that engulfs several of the rooms. The screen goes dark.] Ult - Thank you. [You are transported back to Pioneer 2.] [Or, if the Mag Elenor gave you evolved three times during this quest, this is what happens next...] Elenor - Ult! [Elenor starts to glow.] Montague - Elenor! Don't do it! Elenor - No! I must rescue Ult! Ult - A. aaaahh... [Elenor teleports herself across the chasm to Ult. Ult collapses soon after.] Elenor - Ult! W, why? Montague - No... No, this can't be happening. [Elenor starts to glow. Stars float all around her. The Mag you hold for Elenor starts to glow as well.] Narrator: - Elenor's Mag Cell is reacting! [Another long earthquake.] Elenor - No! ... [A pink beam strikes Elenor.] Elenor - Uh. Montague - !? What is it, Elenor? Elenor - Doctor, there's something wrong. I've never felt like this before. ... I will... [The pink beam strikes Elenor/comes from her again, and then her pink Mag appears behind her.] Montague - "ELENOR"...! It can't be. Why is this happening now? [Alarms start going off] Elenor - SYSTEM MOTHER 01 CODE YN-0117 ACTIVATED PIONEER 2 MILITARY SUPPORT SYSTEM DETECTED Montague - Is this... Elenor - . .. ... CONNECTION COMPLETED PIONEER 2 MILITARY ANDROID SYSTEM DETECTED Montague - "MOTHER"... Elenor - . .. ...

Montague - He he he. Amazing, just amazing! Pure genius. I amaze myself. Ha ha ha!! [Player is given three options: Rescue Elenor, Rescue Elenor, and Rescue Elenor.] Montague - ! Sorry, [NAME]! I kind of just lost it. Elenor! !!! I see. So, the abnormal Photons were emanating from the runes! That's the reason why the prediction was so far off. I can't believe I didn't see this! It doesn't matter how it was done. We have to access... Elenor - [NAME]. Doctor. I... don't think... I... can... Run away! Please... Montague - Elenor! Are you going to blow yourself up too? Elenor - [NAME]! Montague - It started when I became involved with a military project called "MOTHER." Government officials wanted to extend their control of the military. "MOTHER" is capable of controlling anything with the latest AI program. This included anything from Mags to androids to... huge warships. Due to its sensitive nature, the project was hidden away on Ragol. I should've never gotten involved in the first place. I thought of this as nothing more than an interesting experiment. But it's different now! And Elenor isn't just another experiment to me. She's my pride and joy. I cannot live without her. This has become a personal matter, I hope you understand. That's why I can't let you get involved in this. I know that you care for her as much as I do. So I'm going to have to ask you to go back to Pioneer 2 [NAME]. I will take care of Elenor. You can count on it! [Two choices, "OK." or "No." If you say "No."...] Montague - Please try to understand! There is nothing more you can do! [Two choices, "OK." or "No." If you say "No."...] Montague - You're so stubborn! The Elenor that you see is not the same Elenor you know! I will have to force you to go back! [Two choices, "OK." or "No." If you say "No." this third time, or if you say "OK." at any point, the scene advances to here...] [Elenor glows brighter] Montague - ! Elenor! Oh, man... Jean! Is this all you can come up with? Elenor - [NAME]... Doctor... Thank you... This is good bye.... Ult... Ult said, She envied me because I was free, but... I, I was able to enjoy myself because Hee hee. I was with her. .... ... .. . Together until the end. [Elenor smiles down at Ult. Then a HUGE explosion starts from Elenor and engulfs them both. The entire screen goes white from the explosion, then fades to black. You wake up in the medical center.] [Now this part is the same whether or not Elenor's mag evolved...] You - This is the Medical Center... Feels like I've been asleep forever... Dr. Montague, Elenor, And Ult... I wonder if she's OK... Nurse (walking around) - [NAME]! I'm so glad you're awake! You've been asleep for days. We were all so worried. Oh, yeah... Someone named Elenor came to visit quite a few times. You should let her know that you're OK. You shouldn't make such a cute girl cry! - You shouldn't make such a cute girl cry! [This is what happens if Elenor's mag did not evolve...] Guild Girl near door - I have a message here from your client, Dr. Montague. I'll forward it to your BEE system, [NAME]. Oh, and... Go to the counter at the Hunter's Guild to ask for your reward. [The music changes to "After the Story 2"; the "bad ending" theme.] Quest Board - "Mail from the Doctor" - Can you hear me? OK. First, I want you to know that I will be gone before you check out of the hospital. Don't worry, Elenor is OK. And if we're lucky, Ult will be fine too. I'm not called a genius for nothing, you know. Heh heh heh. Anyway, there are few things I've got to take care of right now. There's going to be a little trouble. So I must get going. So long... ... Jean Carlo Montague. [This is one ending for the quest. However, if Elenor's Mag evolved...] [When you leave the medical center, the scene fades out to the Hunter's Guild. Sakon is here with HUmar Ash and FOmarl Nadja.] Sakon - So... We'd like to ask you all as well. This is going to be very serious. I'm counting on you. Ash - I'll take care of it! Sakon - ... [Ash and Nadja leave.] Sakon - ... [Scene cuts back to your character.] Guild Girl near door - Strange things have been happening in the past few days. First, the computer in the Hunter's Guild malfunctions, then... All these soldiers and hunters start running around. I wonder what's going on. Narrator - You've been awarded 3000 Meseta. ===================================================== Download Quest: Soul of Steel (BONUS ENDING) ===================================================== [If you said "No" to Montague three times when he asked you to go back to Pioneer 2, you may now access the rest of the ending of the quest by playing it again. If you said "OK" at some point, you can not do this.] Guild Girl near door - [NAME]? This client has specifically asked for you via the BEE system. ...I think. Umm. We don't know who this was sent from. He wants you to go see him in person. It says that you should know where to find him. ... Are you sure this is OK? Oh, well... Anyway, good luck! - Anyway, good luck! [Transport to Forest 1, where you find Elenor. She's wearing her Mag and she's in the same spot where you meet her in "Magnitude of Metal."] Elenor - ! You startled me. [NAME]. It's been a while. I can't remember what I was thinking about. I wanted to tell you something... Let's see, let's see... [You're given three options regarding what to ask Elenor] [If you choose "The Mag?"...] Elenor - ... This one? No problem! The Doctor has been very careful to fix it properly. I think he said something like, "There goes my plans!" Of course, I don't know what he was talking about. [If you choose "Ult?"...] Elenor - ... Ult! Yes! She's all right! My sister is all right! The Doctor said that the backup data I got saved her life! But he said she will take a little more time to fully recover. [If you choose "Montague?"...] Elenor - What? The Doctor? Yes, he is well. Yes, he's busy right now. He was saying something about atonement... And, vengeance? Things we can do for future? [After you've asked her about all three...] Elenor - ... Ummm. I'm actually about to leave. Of course, the Doctor will be with me. Yes, I think we'll be gone for a while. ... ... Let's see. I don't quite remember all the details from that time... But, I did hear a voice. I don't know if that voice belonged to the Doctor or Ult, or... Maybe... ... Was that you, [NAME]! "Don't give up." "Hang in there." That's what I heard. ... ... Sorry, it's kind of silly. A, anyway... Thank you very much! ... .. . [She starts to walk away] ... Oh, yeah! [NAME]! Are you taking good care of the Mag? I am sure you are, but... You must remember to give it lots of love! OK? ... .. . Mags have feelings too, you know. [Elenor disappears. A telepipe to Pioneer 2 appears.] [Return to guild] [The music changes to "After the Story 1", the "good ending" theme.] Guild Girl near door - Were you able to find your client?

Client: Neighborhood child Quest: A pet that was kept in secret ran away. Owner wants it brought home. Reward: ??? Meseta Neighborhood child - [NAME]? I'll get right to it... Please listen. I want you to find my dog, Rocky. Rocky lived with me for a long time before getting on this ship but... I took my eyes OFF him and he was gone. I can't find him anywhere. So I think maybe he got on a transport for Ragol... Even though I want to go look for him, I can't. I came here thinking that some hunter would listen to my request. Sonic - Hey, hey! How long you gonna keep me waiting? Neighborhood child - Oh, sorry, sorry. We are nearly finished talking. [NAME], this time we want you to cooperate with Sonic. Sonic - Hello, [NAME]! I'm Sonic... Sonic the Hedgehog. Let's get busy!! Neighborhood child - Sonic saw that I was in a jam and despite the risks he came to help. Sonic - Let's put OUR heads together and go find Rocky. Neighborhood child - Sonic doesn't seem to know much about Ragol. So go with him and show him around. Please! Find Rocky and bring him back to me! - Rocky's features? Well, he's always got a hair up his big butt. Oh yeah...he's fat. He loves sweet stuff. That's why he's so huge. Please! Find him and hurry back! Woman in town - Are you journeying to Ragol? You'd better turn off the laser barrier before searching for something. But Sonic can probably take care of two switches for you. Once you pass here, searching goes out the window. Watch yourself. And just 'cause Sonic is almighty doesn't mean that he can turn off all the barriers. If you want to do something about the non-blue barriers... FOnewearl in town - You see that? A yellow fox... A red echidna... But my peepers ain't what they used to be! Man in town - You know what? Every time the Tinkerbell's get a new dog they name it Rocky. Some families have just got no class I guess. [Transport to Pioneer 2.] Sonic - Hey, [NAME]! It looks like there are lots of dangerous places on this planet. But, no need to worry! Somehow it'll all turn out right! Ten to one my friends are already here. If we get them to help us, no ifs, ands, or buts about it, we'll find Rocky. Here we go! [When you find Tails...] Tails - Sonic! Sonic - Tails! What are you doing here? Tails - Huh, somehow I ended up here. But, I just knew I'd see you Sonic. That's right! Sonic! Bet you didn't know that anyone can turn off purple lasers [sic] barriers? Hm-hmm. Didn't know did you? Sonic - Tails, that's enough of your lip. I got something I want you to help me with. To tell you the truth... ... Tails - Oh, I got it. If that's what you want, I'll help you out! Sonic - Way to go, Tails. I knew you would! And... Here we go! [When you find Knuckles...] Knuckles - Sonic!! Sonic - Knuckles!! I ended up being knocked out to the same place. Knuckles - Oh. It was a nightmare. But I feel some kind of power on this planet. Maybe there are Emeralds on this planet! Sonic - Maybe. Anyway, it's worth checking out! Yo Knuckles! I've got something I need your help with. To tell you the truth... ... Knuckles - Don't be so cold! Spit it out! Sonic - So you'll help? I knew I could count on you Knuckles. I hear you. And... Here we go! [Later, as you enter a room with Knuckles in tow...] Sonic - Hey, Knuckles! If we don't hurry and catch up with him, we're in big trouble! Knuckles - You said it. We can't let Rogue the Bat get the Master Emerald! Sonic - Hold it, Shadow!! [And later, as you enter a room with Tails in tow...] Sonic - Tails! We've got to be going home to our world! Tails - Guess so. I was worrying about Amy. Sonic - You're right. Let's hurry back to that pyramid and put a stop to that guy's treachery! Tails - Let's hang tough, Sonic!! [When you find a small ring...] Narrator - Got a small ring! [When you come across a laser...] Narrator - Turn off the laser? If YES - Have someone turn off the laser? [If the laser is successfully turned off by the character listed below...] Sonic - It's OK!! Tails - Leave it to me!! Knuckles - Leave it to a man! [If the laser is UNsuccessfully turned off by the character listed below...] Sonic - No, this isn't my turn! Tails - Hmm. I can't release it. Knuckles - I am way out of my league with this one. [If the laser is turned off by the character below, using his/her last try...] Sonic - Darn it! I'll be hard to search much more - Sorry but... I give up this time. Tails - I'm pooped. I need a break. Sorry. Knuckles - It's no use. I got no power. Let me rest a while. Sorry but you do the rest. [Note: If Knuckles or Tails use their last try, they leave the quest. If Sonic uses his last try, the quest ends.] [Enter a room and find Rocky...] Sonic - Hey? Could that be... Narrator - Rocky is nowhere to be found. [Transport to Cave 3, find the Cake Sisters and the Shortcake Bus] Sister 1 - To tell the truth, we aren't really bakers! We're the cake sisters! What do you think of the heat and humidity here? It's perfect! Pioneer 2 didn't allow us to make cakes, so we came down here! Hey, want to try one? - What? Monsters? Our enthusiasm for cakes is the strongest in the whole universe! Sister 2 - Are you surprised to find a cake shop in a location such as this? Sister at Counter - Welcome! Welcome to Nuara Cake Shop! We've got the best cakes in the business! So what will you have? [Whether you choose "cake," "cake," or "cake" the response is the same.] Thank you! Narrator - Got a cake! Sister at Counter - Sorry, I already gave one to you. I can't give you more than one. [Return to Forest 1] Sonic - Hey? Could that be... Narrator - Bow-wow! Rocky started eating the cake. And how. You caught Rocky! Sonic - That kid will really be happy now! [NAME]! We'll be going now! Later. See you !! [Return to Pioneer 2] Knuckles - Us meeting like this means... [NAME] may have the makings of a treasure hunter! Hmph. Can't stand losing! Tails - Isn't it great we found Rocky!? Ah-ah. We have to get back to our real homes. If only we had a huge energy source to power my machines... - See you again! Sonic [If you did not find all 5 rings] - I'm so glad we found Rocky! Today was funny. Hope to see you again! So long ! Sonic [If you found all 5 rings] - I'm sure glad we found Rocky! !? ...Do you feel something? Narrator - Five rings started ringing! The small ring is getting brighter and... Sonic - Talk about energy! If I had this, maybe I could get back to my world in Tail's machines. You think I could have those rings? [If you choose GIVE] Sonic - ! Thanks! Now I can get back to my world now! [NAME]! I'll never forget your name! - Thanks. With this I can get back to my world!! [But if you did find all 5 rings, and you finish the quest with all three characters still with you, and you choose KEEP, then the quest takes a completely different twist, and you must play Janken with Sonic and his friends.] Sonic - Okay then, how about a game of rock, paper, and scissors? If we win, we get the rings. If [NAME] wins, I'll give you this glove. Deal? [If you choose NO] ... Okay, I see. Have it your way. Sorry but I give up. [If you choose YES] - Well, we're off! [Janken against Knuckles] Knuckles - Start with me. Hit it! One Two Three [If you tie...] Come again. [If you lose...] Ha-ha, how do you like me now! Too bad but... That ring is mine now! [If you win...] Darn it, I lost... Tails, it's up to you. [Janken against Tails] Tails - Move over, it's my turn! [NAME], I never lose. Go! One Two Three... [If you tie...] And again. [If you lose...] Yippee! The ring is ours. [If you win...] Ah... You got me! Sonic... [Janken against Sonic] Sonic - Hey, [NAME]! I'm your last opponent! One Two Three... [If you tie...] And again. [If you lose...] Yes! As agreed, I'll take the ring! [If you win...] Sorry but that's the way it is. As agreed, this is [NAME]'s now. Narrator - Got Sonic's Glove. I won't lose again! [And whenever you lose to any opponent, Sonic says this] Sonic - !? Yes! As agreed, I'll take the ring! - Thanks. With this I can get back to my world!! [Regardless of number of rings found, Janken or no, the quest then ends like this:] Neighborhood child - Oh! Rocky!! Rocky's back! Thanks. Thank you [NAME]! The Guild is holding your reward. Please go and pick it up. - Now, Rocky and me are back together again. Narrator - You've been awarded 1500 Meseta. [Non-quest related dialogue -- lyrics to "Sonic's Theme"] Well I don't show off, don't criticize I'm just livin' by my own feelings And I won't give in, won't compromise I just only have a steadfast heart of gold I don't know why, I can't leave though it might be tough But I ain't outta control, just livin' by my word Don't ask me why, I don't need a reason I got my way, my own way It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight There is no way I will run away from all of my frights Long as the voice inside me says "go" I will always keep on runnin' There is nothing to stop me from going to the very top It doesn't matter who is wrong or who is right ===================================================== Online Quest: Garon's Treachery ===================================================== "Shoot a movie on the surface of Ragol" What are Garon's expectations? Client: Garon Quest Details: Shoot a movie! Attractive, sincere hunters hunters apply now for the lead roles! Active duty hunters welcome. Need 2 to 4 roles. Reward: ??? Meseta Garon - Oh, so I see you've accepted the request [CLASS]. I'm Garon. A town merchant. Let's cut to the chase... I want you to appear in my movie! Don't you fret! I'll be in charge of the script and the directing! I'll be giving you direction here and there so listen up to what I say! Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Take this. [Pink lights enter your character, indicating that Garon has given you something] - This is a high efficiency "portaphone" or communication device. And take a look at the script while you're at it. [More pink lights enter you] - If you refer to this in a jam, we should be able to film smoothly. That's it. I'm expecting true to life acting from you! ... ... By the way, you heard of the notorious "Shiva Stone"? [You are given two choices; "Don't know about it." and "Know about it." If you choose "Don't know about it."...] - "Shiva Stone"... The phantom gem... I've exhausted all means to collect information about this treasure... to make this script. The treasure is believed to be fiction but... Do what's written in the script and you luckily might be able to find it. But if you do, the "Shiva Stone" is mine! Being rich is no dream! Wha-ha-ha. Now, get pumped and work for me! [If you choose "Know about it."...] - ...I see. Oh, it's nothing. Good luck on the shoot! [If and only if you are the party leader, Garon will now tell you...] - ... ... ...Wait [NAME]. You'll be the team's troubleshooter! Carry this juke box as a symbol of your leadership. [More pink lights enter your character] - Music is also an important element in directing. Select the songs using your taste and get excited about the shoot! [Speak with Garon again] - ... ... Lately most hunters don't have any umph! Well... what about you guys? What's with you? Hurry up and drag your asses back to Ragol! Let's talk about the finer directions there. Now, good luck on the shoot! Quest Board - "Script" - Which will you read? [You are given the following choices...] Won't read. Shiva Stone The Way of the Gems Jet Black Room Optical Illusion Room Lava-Hot Room [If you choose "Won't read.", you return to "Script" in the Quest Board. If you choose to read any part of the script...] Shiva Stone - Thou shalt not touch the "Shiva Stone" View all things with open eyes. Accept the existence of gems to avoid being a slave to their form. Make note of this secret principle here. Just as instilling this reason into the vessel called oneself. it indicates no more than what is one's existence. Without appearing here several who covet and seek the "Shiva Stone". Intelligent beings comprehend its existence. When accepting it with other things, find the treasure's root and smelt them together. That is to say, the one who holds the gem directs its existence. The Way of the Gems - The Way of the Gems, the "Shiva Stone" Those desiring treasure must first find the "Door of No Return". This "Door" is sealed. The next order is breaking the seal! With any luck, if this door can be opened... follow the road to the "Shiva Stone". Reach it without losing your way. But it's impossible to predict what might occur until you get the stone. When you least expect it, you might get mixed up in something unthinkable. Don't forget your tough mental powers when faced with this situation. I'm expecting true to life acting from you! Jet Black Room - Trial 1 "Jet Black Room" A world where even radiant daylight fails to enter... A trial awaits in a place called the "Jet Black Room". Inside lies a computer that can break the seal! Cooperate together and find it! If you go too slow, you'll be confused in a world of darkness! POINT A monitor has been affixed to help you with the trial. Use it to see the room as it looks when fully lit. Also, when the monitor is in use you can use the chat board. It can be a powerful weapon when used properly. Be aggressive! Your fears will creep up on you in the darkness. Sincerely be careful not to become a slave to the darkness. Optical Illusion Room - Trial 2 "Optical Illusion Room" Expect the gem guardians to drag you into another world... A trial awaits in a place called the "Optical Illusion Room". Take position in front of the screen! Then, defeat all the enemies manifesting in the room! If you're successful, then the seal might be broken! POINT The battle must occur from my camera's point of view in this place. The unseen the figures of beings on the outside and side of the monitor... expect to drag us into their world! Aim to be in the middle of the monitor to overcome this test! If you can defeat all the enemies, then the seal can probably be broken. Always confirm the position of the camera and your friends! Enemies are not limited to visible ones. Unseen ones may lurk in your heart. Lava-Hot Room - Trial 3 "Lava-Hot Room" A red-hot hell if there ever was one. Flames rise up from threatening crags. Can your party make calm judgments amid the fear? A trial awaits in a place called the "Lava-Hot Room". You have been trapped in this room! Put your heads together and find a way to escape! There's no time to waste! Lava is flowing from the edge of the room! If you don't want to get burned, escape before the lava buries you! POINT First find a place that looks escapable! Relax, assess the situation and an answer should present itself. Just cooperate and advance along the trusted road! But, don't let up! You never know what could happen in the end! Quest Board - "Portaphone" - The BEE system is another standard communication device. Used mainly by civilians. Garon's one has been customized. Audio data exchange from the handset and video via the headset are possible. [If you're the leader of the party, Garon gave you a Juke Box...] Quest Board - "Juke Box" - Change the background music? [You are given the following choices] Don't change BGM 1 BGM 2 BGM 3 BGM 4 ["Don't change" causes no change in the music. Selecting one of the BGMs makes the music change. BGM 1 is "Sonic's Theme" from Sonic Adventure; BGM 2 is "Dreams, Dreams" from NiGHTS into Dreams...; BGM 3 is "Burning Hearts" from Burning Rangers; and BGM 4 is the Chu Chu Rocket theme. See "The Missing Maracas" quest script for song lyrics to BGMs 1, 2, & 3. BGM 4 has no lyrics.] [There is a Soldier dressed in blue outside the Hunter's Guild...] Soldier in Blue - Lately, classified files have gone missing from the lab. I wonder what is written in those secret files... Everything... Like unknown minerals discovered on Ragol. Well... It's the military's duty to protect secrets. There I go again... Me and my big mouth. Anyway... If you're a smart hunter, you'll avoid this incident and proceed ahead. [There is a Soldier dressed in red outside the Hunter's Guild...] Soldier in Red - Hmm. You hunters have it easy! Gadding around everywhere! Why do think I gave you that gate usage permit for anyway? If you've got time to loaf around in a place like this then... Get on back to Ragol and eat shit and die! [There is an old woman near the middle of the city...] Old Woman - Oh, I crave some excitement. Give me bright lights, the big city. How many years have passed since being on Pioneer 2... This place restricts my diet not to mention my night life. I wonder if there's some entertainment that can make me happy. An exciting action adventure movie would do the trick. Of course, some cool hunters would play the leading roles and... They'd stare with eyes that melt me away. Hey, are you listening to me or just pretending to? Are you rude or what? [There is a short RAmar dressed in purple near the Principal's Office...] RAmar - Owwwch... Strange stories always have a downside huh? Tempted by Garon and back on Ragol? Your luck must have run out. It's far from exciting, more like dazed and nerve racking. A cat with nine lives wouldn't stand a chance! Reckon there ain't many guys who can slip past that kind of barrier. [There is a young woman near the Checkroom...] Young Woman - Oh, I wonder if anyone will be kind enough to give me a present... Huh, don't you know about it? The phantom gem... The "Shiva Stone"... It is rumored that he who wears it will gain all powers of... intelligence, physical strength, assets, and beauty. Actually, that's not all... many catastrophes will be imposed upon the one who holds the stone. Or at least that's how the spreading rumor goes. What kind of man would risk his life to get the stone for me... I wonder if that kind of dreamy man will appear before me... [The Tekker will not identify any "Special Weapons" today...] Tekker - Sorry but today I don't feel like working. Please come again. [Teleport down to CAVE 3] Garon on Portaphone - ...[NAME]! Can you hear me? Let the filming of the action picture "Shiva Story" begin! I'll have those seeking the "Shiva Stone" act for me! Various barriers probably wait for you ahead. But! I expect your courage and acting ability to overcome them! First, find the "Door of No Return" on the road to the gem! This is just the start. Your acting is not enough to get you by! If even one of you isn't able to fight, the filming will be cancelled! Act with a sense of intensity for me! Now, start filming! Narrator - Find the "Door of No Return" Combine your powers! [Travel through CAVE 3 until you come to 4 switches. Have every party member stand on one switch... and a wall of flame appears behind you!] Garon on Portaphone - !!!! What with this! There's no time to think!! Hurry and escape!! If something should, happen, it's not my fault! Anyway, make a straight beeline for the end! Narrator - Advance without being caught in the flames! Escape to the warp device at the end! [In a multiplayer game, Narrator will then tell you...] - Attention: Wait until the other player's events end. [You must now run from the approaching wall of flame. If the flames catch you...] You - It's hot... I'm losing consciousness... [The flames will push you all the way into the next room where...] Garon on Portaphone - Idiots! That was a once in a lifetime scene! What's the use of getting wrapped in flames!? Work with me people! Act with some grace under pressure courage for me! [However, if you escape from the flames you reach the next room where...] Garon on Portaphone - ... ... ... ...[NAME]! Hey, you okay? What intensity! I've never seen a flame burn so bright! Going for it all while escaping perils. It's a action adventure movie! We shot a nice scene! Keep up that kind of acting and hang in there! [Whether or not you escaped the flames, Garon then tells you...] - ...Yeah? Can you see it from there? [You are shown a door that is blocked by boulders and an electrical energy field] - That's the "Door of No Return"!? Nice. You did a great job making it this far! Our goal, the "Shiva Stone" lays in wait just ahead... [NAME]! Open it! There's no time for resting. Here's my next command. [The camera sweeps around the room that you're in, revealing three computer terminals] - You must pass three trials to open the "Door of No Return"!! The road to the gem will be open to he who passes the trials. Look carefully in this room! Several transporters connect to rooms where the trails await. The trial you challenge depends on your decision! Well, get up your courage and take on the trials! Blue Computer Terminal - Listen to the "Jet Black Room" explanation? [You have two choices. "Listen to the explanation." or "Don't listen." If you choose "Don't listen.", you will stop looking at the terminal. If you choose "Listen to the explanation."...] - A test to advance through a pitch black room. Somewhere in this stage is a computer to break the seal. Find the computer within the time limit and restart it to clear. Transport into the "Jet Black Room" using this device. If you're ready, please stand on each switch. [There are 4 switches. Once everyone in the party stands on a switch... you are transported into the Jet Black Room] Garon on Portaphone - Is this the "Jet Black Room"? Your group's unity will be put to a test in this trial. Listen up! Cooperate to reach the switch to break the seal! Narrator - Reach the computer within the time limit to break the seal! You can give directions with the monitor! [If this is a multiplayer game, Narrator will then tell you...] - Attention: Wait until the other player's events end. [A timer with 0'09"59 on it will appear at the top of the screen] [There are three monitors throughout the Jet Black Room. They are identical in function] Jet Black Room Monitor - Welcome to Area City. [You are given four choices. "Quit", "Block 1", "Block 2", and "Block 3". "Quit" causes you to stop looking at the monitor. If you choose one of the Blocks, you will then be shown an image of that block. After viewing a Block...] - Change the monitor? [You are given four choices. "End Monitor", "Block 1", "Block 2", and "Block 3". "End Monitor" causes you to stop looking at the monitor. Or once again you can look at one of the three Blocks] [You must progress through the three Blocks and find the computer to escape from the Jet Black Room. If you fail to find the computer before time runs out, you are transported to the exit from the room, which has a warp that leads back to the 'three trials' room and...] Garon on Portaphone - You idiot! What were you thinking? I didn't call lunch yet. You can't break through the test without uniting together! Decide roles, confirm positions and advance. That's how it works! Hang in there so we can shoot a great scene! [If you find the computer, however...] Jet Black Room Computer - Break the seal? [Two choices. "Break the seal!" or "Don't break the seal.". "Don't break the seal." makes you stop looking at the computer. If you choose "Break the seal!", you are shown the Blue Computer Terminal...] Narrator - The seal on the "Jet Black Room" has been broken! [The camera then returns to your normal character view] Garon on Portaphone - The fear of the darkness isn't because you can't see anything. The fear is from the phantoms created in the darkness of your heart. Conquering the darkness means conquering your heart... Nicely done! You've got real talent! Keep up this intensity and hang in there! [Take the warp to return to the three trials room] Yellow Computer Terminal - Listen to the "Optical Illusion Room" explanation? [Again, two choices of "Listen to the explanation." or "Don't listen.". If you choose "Don't listen.", you'll stop looking at the terminal. If you choose "Listen to the explanation.", however...] - A battle test with free use of your field of vision obscured. Moving to the edge of the monitor ends in failure. Watch out. Annihilate all the enemies in the "Optical Illusion Room" to clear. Transport into the "Optical Illusion Room" using this device. If you're ready, please stand on each switch. [When everyone stands on a switch, you are all transported to the Optical Illusion Room, where your point of view is seen through a panning camera view of the room] Garon on Portaphone - Here it is! The entrance to the spirit world "Optical Illusion Room" Unseen foes are out for your lives in this room. Try not to stray far from the center of the camera when fighting! You'll lose your soul if you go outside the middle of the screen. Narrator - Fight in the middle until all foes are annihilated! An alarm will sound when you stray from the center! [If this is a multiplayer game, Narrator will then tell you...] - Attention: Wait until the other player's events end. [You must now defeat enemies while running from one side of the room to the other, following the panning camera view. If you block an enemy attack while you are not in the camera's view, you are transported into the next room and...] Garon on Portaphone - You idiot! What are you doing?! If you were relaxed, you'd notice the routine camera movement! Even if you stray off the screen, you're giving up too soon! Don't fail the test until parrying the enemy attack. Remember this! Hang in there so we can shoot a great scene! [If you defeat all of the enemies, you are shown the Yellow Computer Terminal...] Narrator - The seal on the "Optical Illusion Room" has been broken! [Back to your party] Garon on Portaphone - By changing the point of view, something different comes into view. I'm a bit interested in more than making money on this filming! What exactly did you see on this test? Nicely done! The acting was superb! Keep up this intensity and hang in there! [You can now use a warp to return to the three trials room] Green Computer Terminal - Listen to the "Lava-Hot Room" explanation? [You are given two choices. "Listen to the explanation." or "Don't listen." "Don't listen." makes you stop looking at the terminal. If you choose "Listen to the explanation"...] - The test is to escape from a closed room. Look for an exit while avoiding the lava flow. Exit the "Lava-Hot Room" before being buried alive in lava to clear. Transport into the "Lava-Hot Room" using this device. If you're ready, please stand on each switch. [When everyone in the party stands on a switch... you are all transported into a small room lined with flames!] Garon on Portaphone - Hey! We've been locked in this room! This must be the "Lava-Hot Room". This can't be! We've gotta escape from this room! We'll be buried in lava if we don't get a move on! Find a way out and and save our lives! Narrator - Escape without touching the lava! The lava will keep pressing near you! [If this is a multiplayer game...] - Attention: Wait until the other player's events end. [You must now break through several boulders in order to escape the approaching flames and lava. If you are engulfed by the inferno...] Garon on Portaphone - You idiot! What are you doing?! Concentrate on destroying the rocks! If you can't advance, try using an attack technique! There's no mistaking it... Cooperation is the best solution. Hang in there so we can shoot a great scene! [If you break through the boulders and escape, you are shown the Green Computer Terminal...] Narrator - The seal on the "Lava-Hot Room" has been broken! [Back to your party] Garon on Portaphone - The fear, the flames, the lava... Decision making abilities are lowered. In this type of scene one's ugly essense is exposed. [NAME], you're fine, right? You said it. You cleared this test superbly! Nicely done! Keep up this intensity and hang in there! [You are transported back into the three trials room] [After attempting all three trials, as you approach the "Door of No Return"...] Garon on Portaphone - Now, all three trials have been completed. Try searching that closed door! [The electrical energy field on the "Door of No Return" is now gone. There are 4 switches in front of the "Door of No Return". When everyone stands on a switch... the boulders blocking your way are destroyed!] Narrator - The door seal has been broken! Garon on Portaphone - ... ... ... The door has opened at last! According to my data it is written here that... He who pass through this door will never be able to return. What waits beyond here...hope or failure? No matter...press ahead! It's a straight shot to finding the treasure. Live tough and seek out the treasure! It's up to all of you!! [Advance through the Door of No Return! Through the door is a small room with 4 switches in it. Once everyone stands on a switch... you are all transported to RUINS 2!] Garon on Portaphone - Don't let up! Anything can happen! What a creepy place... [NAME]! Can you sense something? I don't deal with fear well. Not at all in fact. Don't space out on me. Hurry and collect the treasure! ... ... Huh? [NAME]! H...hey! Can... you... he...ar... me? The electro... mag... netic waves are bad! H...hurry... Br... "Shiva Stone" ... ... ... ... ... [A ghost appears before you!] Ghost - ... ... ... Thou who seeks the gem... Walk the path towards the entrance to Hades... [The ghost vanishes!] [If this is a multiplayer game, Narrator will then tell you...] Narrator - Attention: Wait until the other player's events end. [A timer with 0'6"29 on it appears at the top of the screen] [As you venture forth into RUINS 2... you hear the voices of ghosts!] Ghosts - We too once had the same ambition as thou... Pay for your stupidity! Just like we did... [You will now be attacked by ghosts every few seconds! If you do not stand still when they appear, they will surround you and...] Ghosts - We were foolish robbers trying to plunder treasure... Such is the reward for ignoring our advice... [The ghosts will transport you back to the previous room and take 10 seconds away from the timer! If the timer runs out, you are surrounded by four ghosts and...] Ghosts - What are you afraid of now? ...Death and yet without dying... ...Pay for your sins amid eternity... [The quest ends!] [Before the timer runs out, you much reach a small room with four switches in it. There is something shining on the other side of a laser barrier in this room... could it be?! Once one player stands on one switch, there is an earthquake, and the ghosts vanish! When all players stand on switches... the laser barrier is lowered! The camera zooms in on the object shining on the floor and...] Narrator - Got "Shiva Stone"! [Suddenly and conveniently, Garon's Portaphone starts working again] Garon on Portaphone - ... ... ... [NAME]... ...[NAME]! Can you hear me? It's me, Garon. Wh, wh, what!!! That's undoubtedly the "Shiva Stone"!! I thought it was just a rumor, a wives tale, a myth... Return before the ghosts catch you! It's too late once they've got you!! A transport device in is front of you. Take the gem and get back here! [A transporter appears in front of you. Another earthquake shakes the room!] - Told you! No doubt this is the rage of ghosts who sought treasure! Hu...hurry. Get on that...transport device... Take refuge! I'm waiting for you... Quest Board - "Shiva Stone" - A gem of mysterious powers lies buried beneath Ragol. Long ago hunters who heard the rumor tried to gain this treasure. "Shiva Stone" silently shimmers seeing through your heart. [There is a third earthquake as you run for the transporter!] [If you are playing a one player game, take the transporter to return to Pioneer 2. If it's a multiplayer game, the fun just got started. In a multiplayer game, the transporter fails. Instead of you being teleported back to Pioneer 2, there is another earthquake, and a ghost appears in the room with you!] Ghost - ... ... We won't let you escape... You foolish robbers with hearts stained with greed... Neither living nor dying, just passing amid mischief... Thou shalt know the weight of thy sins... Narrator - WARNING!!! Don't get caught by the ghosts! Find an exit! An alarm sounds when the ghosts draw near. Be careful! Attention: Wait until the other player's events end. [You must all now run from the persuing ghost! If anyone is captured, that person will be taken to a room full of boulders and poison from which there is no escape!...] Ghosts - This is the borderline between Hades and reality... Thou is at the gates of hell... Death along with life to us! ... ... ... Narrator - Stop the poison mist! Wait on other members to help! [If your friends escape, they can choose to either go back and rescue you or leave you for dead! If your friends leave you behind, the camera changes to show you your executioner... one of the ghosts!] Ghost - It seems the people coming to help have gone. There's nothing to pity... There's nothing to fear... ...Pay for your sins amid eternity... [The quest ends!] [If the entire party is captured by the ghosts...] Ghosts - What are you afraid of now? ...Death and yet without dying... ...Pay for your sins amid eternity... [The quest ends!] [While avoiding the ghost, you must find the exit from the dungeon! You will find a doorway lined with blue flame. Once you run through the doorway...] Ghosts - Think you can escape? Souls must dwell in souls... There, is their dwelling place... ...[NAME]... ... Try and escape if you think you can... [You find yourself in the large central room of RUINS 2. There is a laser fence blocking your way, and once again, four switches on the ground. Once every remaining party member steps on a switch...] Ghosts - Ge, ge, get. Ou, ou, out... [A huge wall of blue, ghostly flames appears behind you!!] Narrator - Advance without being caught up in the ghosts! Keep fleeing until they stop following! Attention: Wait until the other player's events end. [Run from the ghosts!! Many obstacles are in your way... You must reach the warp and escape from this room! If you are captured, the same things happen as when you are captured while running from the one ghost] [If you reach the warp and escape, but other party members were captured...] Garon on Portaphone - ... ... ... ...You okay? ...[NAME]! ...Can you hear me? You seem to be OK. Unfortunately, some of your party was taken away by the ghosts. If I put things back, my greed would be the cause of the situation. More than that! My powers are of no use. Hurry back to Pioneer 2 and ask for a rescue team. Beyond this room is a transport device to return to Pioneer 2. Move ahead... if you can return, you can request a rescue team. Beyond the right side door is... a warp device connecting to somewhere in this area If you go there... There's a possibility you might find your friends! But... It's only a possibility. Hurry and get back home! [You are given two choices. "Return to Pioneer2." and "Search for friends.". If you choose "Return to Pioneer2."...] - ...Any...way Hurry to Pioneer 2... Return home!... ...I'll...be...waiting! Narrator - Garon's communication appears to have been cut off... [Return to Pioneer 2 via warp in the next room to the west. The rest of the quest continues exactly as it does in a one player game] Garon - Oh, you made it back safe and sound. I was worried when our communication was cut off! The shooting was cancelled at the best part... Is the extent of my request just that gem you brought?! Well then, show me the "Shiva Stone"! ... ... ... Narrator - Handed the "Shiva Stone" to Garon. Garon - This is the phantom gem! The "Shiva Stone"?! After all, the luster of those jewels is different from others! Nicely done! You'll be rich now! Bring it here after picking up your reward at the guild. So shall we go sell my gem for a big price?! Wha-ha-ha! I asked you to get me out of a jam again, [NAME]!! [Garon runs off with the Shiva Stone! The music changes to the "good ending" theme] [If you choose "Search for friends."...] - Someone among you wants to search for your friends! ...Any...way Hurry to... Pioneer 2... Return home!... ...I'll...be...waiting! [You must now find the other party members who were captured by the ghosts. When you find where they have been imprisoned, you will see that the exit from the prison is blocked by boulders... Narrator - The voices of friends can be heard fromover there... [You are given two choices, "Leave the treasure." and "Don't leave the treasure and depart.". If you "Don't leave the treasure and depart.", you will not rescue your friends. If you choose "Leave the treasure."... the Shiva Stone is placed at the base of the boulders. Energy floods into the Shiva Stone... and it explodes! The boulders are destroyed! Now you and your friends can escape. When you find the exit to the dungeon, there is a door with 4 switches in front of it. Have everyone stand on a switch and then... a shining stone will fall from the ceiling!] Ghosts - ... ... ... The trials are over... We are the possessors of the true "Stone" Thou shalt take this with you ... For all your friendship... Offered unto you... [Run over to the stone and pick it up!] Narrator - Got "Fragment of Friendship"! Quest Board - "Fragment of Friendship" - Proof of your lovely soul recognized by the "Shiva Stone" guardians. Maybe those dying and then living praised your friendship and remained. Bright light radiates from the fragment of friendship. [You can now return to Pioneer 2...] Garon - Whoh, you made it back alive! I was worried when our communication was cut off! The shooting was cancelled at the best part... Is the extent of my request just that gem you brought?! Now, show me the "Shiva Stone"! ... ... ... W-w-what!!!! You used the "Shiva Stone"!? [Garon growls!] How could you use it... My dream is... ... ... ... You used it to help your friends. Guess it can't be helped. Your reward is at the guild so take it there. There's no refund. [The "good ending" music begins to play. Talk with Garon again...] - I was hoping to make a killing. This is bad for business. What a loss... [But if the entire party was able to escape from the ghosts...] Garon on Portaphone - Can you hear me? [NAME]! You are all safe. I was so frightened watching here! If I put things back, my greed would be the cause of this situation. Hey, don't get angry! You knew the treasure was the "Shiva Stone". And the rumors and hearsay concerning the stone. I realized this. Do you know how hard it was to obtain this stone? Assenting to the danger... I thought it was impossible for me to do it alone. I got data on the "Shiva Stone", found a way to get it and hired you. With superior hunters, I thought my chance to get the treasure had come. But more importantly! It might not just be the ghosts attacking again! A transport device to Pioneer 2 is on this area, beyond the left door. Hurry back to Pioneer 2 and let me confirm they are OK! [There are 4 switches. Have every party member stand on a switch to open the door to the transporter. If and only if you have PASSED EVERY TRIAL in the CAVE 3 part of this quest... a shining stone will fall from the ceiling!] Ghosts - ... ... ... The trials are over... We are the possessors of the true "Stone" Thou shalt take this with you ... For all your abilities... For all your courage... For all your friendship... Offered unto you... [Go and pick up the stone!] Narrator - Got "???? Stone"! Quest Board - "???? Stone" - Impossible to analyze. An appraisal might tell you something. [Return to Pioneer 2 and take the ???? Stone to the Tekker!] Tekker - Examine your enigmatic items! I'm the town appraiser. What item... shall I inspect? Hmm! That stone you have! Could it be... Could you possibly show that to me? [Two choices. "???? Stone" and "Don't hand it over." If you select "Don't hand it over."...] - ...Oh, sorry to hear that. Come back again when you want to have something appraised. [But if you choose "???? Stone"...] - This is rare... Examining precious items is a providence of the job. I'll take responsibility for appraising the item. ... ... ... Hmph!!! ... ... ... [Screen fades to black, then fades back in. The "Victory" fanfare plays] - ... ... ... I have appraised the item!! It is a mineral not supposed to exist on our planet... According to my memory this was called a "Rakonia Stone". With no smelting know-how this mineral never made it in our civilization. I don't believe there are many high priced buyers for this. Hmph?! Ah-ha! I had a friend who was looking for this rock. Don't know where she is but you're bound to run into her on your quests. That's all I know. Thanks for letting me appraise this precious item. You'll have to keep the item safe until you bump into that person. Come back again when you want to have something appraised. - Were you able to meet that woman I mentioned? I'll pray for luck to open the door for you. Quest Board - "Rakonia Stone" - There doesn't seem to be a use for it like this. And there are no means to smelt this stone on Pioneer 2. Maybe you can learn how to use it if you find the woman who knows how. [Now go talk with Garon] Narrator - Handed the "Shiva Stone" to Garon. Garon - This is the phantom gem! The "Shiva Stone"?! After all, the luster of those jewels is different from others! Nicely done! You'll be rich now! Bring it here after picking up your reward at the guild. Huh? [NAME] it seems like you have one more stone! What's that stone? ... ... ... It doesn't appear to have any real value. Then, take this as your reward too. So shall we go sell my gem for a big price?! Wha-ha-ha! I asked you to get me out of a jam again, [NAME]!! [Garon runs off with the Shiva Stone! The music changes to the "good ending" theme] [If you got one of the endings in which you gave the Shiva Stone to Garon, he ran off with it but was stopped by the two soldiers outside the Hunter's Guild. Serves him right!] Soldier in Blue - The police suspects that man of possessing the secret files. How long do you plan to keep watching! No way... Are you friends with him? Listen here! Anyone who doesn't want to be suspected head this way! Garon - Hey! What perfect timing!! Do something to explain this to them! At this rate, my "Shiva Stone" will be taken away!! ... ... ... Huh... That could happen... Soldier in Red - This mineral ore was mined under the initiative of the lab... Even for us, the operation carried extreme difficulties. So how can civilians like you expect to do it? ... ... ... [Go talk to the Hunter's Guild Woman to end the quest] Narrator - Got 5000 Meseta. [The quest ends.] ===================================================== Online Quest: Rappy's Holiday ===================================================== Let's play with Rappy! The Rappies are having a festival. Participate and get excited. [If this is the first time you're doing the quest...] Hunter's Guild Girl 2 - Everyone! The Rappies are having a festival... on the surface of Ragol now! Sometimes, I think it's a good idea to... explore Ragol at your leisure without any given quest. Take joy in finding out what kind of a festival it is and participating. Well, you're off. Have fun! [If you have already done this quest before...] Hunter's Guild Girl 2 - Huh... I'm so happy! You came again. The festival is just warming up! Hang tough and collect lots of points! [NAME]'s total points are now... [#] points! Hang in there and collect more points! [Talk with her again] Hunter's Guild Girl 2 - Huh, is it over already? [You can now choose "Don't go home." or "Go home." If you choose "Don't go home."...] - Over? Hardly... The festival is just getting going! Enjoy the events to your heart's content! By the way... [NAME]'s total points are now... [#] points! Hang in there and collect more points! [If you choose "Go home."...] - Nice work! [NAME]! Your total points are now... [#] points! The points are being held at the guild counter so just relax and enjoy. Sorry to put you to all the trouble. Thanks Please come again! - Despite the festive mood, one lonely Rappy was there. How sad... Helping solve his worries might be a good idea... [After you choose "Go home."...] Hunter's Guild Girl 1 - Well, that's it! Looking forward to seeing you again! [Exits quest. Yes, the quest can end right now if you want. But if you don't want to quit now, don't choose to "Go home."] Quest Board - "Current Points" - [NAME] currently has [#] points! [Where "#" stands for the number of points you have. The same is true throughout this entire script.] [Now leave the Hunter's Guild and talk with everyone in town...] Nurse walking around in Hospital - Are you enjoying the festival? I'm so busy I don't have any time to enjoy it. But strangely we've had lots of patients with burns lately. I think you'll be okay but be careful when playing with fire! [There is a short RAmar dressed in purple standing outside of the Hunter's Guild. He says something different depending on whether or not you have more points than he has. If he has more points, or if you have an equal number of points...] RAmar - Collecting points there are you? Hey, hey... Gaze at my braveness! If you collect points at the festival, you'll become cool like me! So? Feeling envious, are we? [If you get more points, it appears that the RAmar has lost the points he had and says...] RAmar - ! ! ! I lost... How many points do you have? I want to be cool like [NAME]! [There is a red HUcast standing near the Principal's Office] HUcast - Did you play any mini-games at the festival? My favorite one is the chicken race! I'll speed along in a motorcycle again today! By the way, SS is the highest rank. I'm far from attaining that! I gotta practice much more! [There is a green haired FOmarl dressed in black near the check room] FOmarl - It's bustling recently. How is it? Are you having fun? Hey, listen to this! I happened to hear a rumor. A beautiful lady was seen at the Rappy festival! I wonder what she looks like. I'm interested to find out... [Now go the the main transporter. You can transport to Forest 1. When you arrive in Forest 1, you'll find it full of Rappies who want to talk instead of fight. Instead of the standard "Forest" music, the "Samba de Amigo" song from "The Missing Maracas" quest plays] ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Forest 1 - First room Rappy 1 - Welcome to the Rappy Festival! Hey... Do you have some business with me? [You are given two choices; "Have some business." and "Have no business." If you choose "Have no business."...] - Hey... Come see me if you need me. [If you choose "Have some business."...] - ... ... 1 point and [x] Meseta. [Where "x" stands for a different amount of meseta, depending upon how many points you have at the moment. "x" equals the following amounts of meseta when you have this many points...] 0 - 4 points - 100 meseta 5 - 6 points - 1000 meseta 7 - 8 points - 5000 meseta 9 - 10 points - 10000 meseta 11 - 12 points - 50000 meseta 13 - 14 points - 100000 meseta 15 or more points - 180000 meseta [You are given two choices; "Buy!" and "Don't buy."

This continues until you select "Don't buy." or you don't have enough meseta to buy points. If you don't have enough meseta...] - If you don't have any Meseta then I'm not selling... Hey... Come calling again. [After you have purchased your 12th point and seek a 13th, the Rappy changes his sales pitch slightly along with the price jump to 100000 meseta....] - Hey... Thanks! Want more? ... ... 1 point and [x] Meseta. [When you select "Don't buy."...] - Hey... Come see me if you need me. ---------------------------------------- Mini-Game #1: Rappy Festival Switch Lottery Rappy 2 - Welcome, welcome! Your festival visit can't really start without doing this!

Okay then, enjoy the festival! - Wow, I feel like I've been brought back to life! Thanks! Oh yeah! I almost forgot. There's a rumor that a beautiful woman is at the festival!

I have a present for my sweet grandchild... Such a kind child... Always bringing me fresh fruit. So I'm relaxing and basking in the sun until then. I do wish he'd hurry up... [If you speak with Rappy 8 while holding a fresh, red fruit...] Rappy 8 - Good gracious... So you've come on behalf of my grandson huh? That's it... This red fruit is my favorite. I always eat them with my grandchild out here in the sunlight. ... ... It's not like that child, not leaving a message... I guess I should be beholding to you though. It's just a trifle but please take it. Thank you. Narrator - Received monomate! [If you speak with Rappy 8 while holding a fresh, yellow fruit...] Rappy 8 - ! ! ! Did my grandchild ask you to do this? Not only is this yellow fruit known for its taste but... also known for its very valuable nature. I always used to say I wanted to eat it one day... That child... I can't help being thankful. Thankful for the fruit... Here's a token of my gratitude. Take it. Narrator - Got "Handmade Pendant"! [If you take too long to deliver either the red or yellow fruit, it gets rotten.] Quest Board - "Rotten Fruit" - The fruit is rotten! I wonder if Fukki's grandmother will be happy. [Speak with Rappy 8 while holding a rotten fruit...] Rappy 8 - Good gracious... Is that what my grandchild had you deliver? Oh. I see. I see. Goodness gracious... It looks like the fruit got quite bruised. There's not a thing to worry about. This fruit bruises easily anyway... This fruit is my favorite. We used to eat it together on clear days like today. Kindly accept this as a token of gratitude. Narrator - Received monomate! [Speak with Rappy 8 again after giving her any fruit...] Rappy 8 - Was my grandchild getting along alright? The winds of Ragol will tell me... My grandchild is probably doing just fine. Quest Board - "Handmade Pendant" - A handmade pendant from Fukki's grandmother! It's a bit unshapely but the bright sparkle is nice. [examine the Pendant again....] Quest Board - "Handmade Pendant" - A handmade pendant from Fukki's grandmother! Huh? When looked at closely, it has a shape you've seen before. [examine the Pendant a third time...] Quest Board - "Handmade Pendant" - A handmade pendant from Fukki's grandmother! Huh? What's this shape... That's it, I got it! [The "Handmade Pendant" becomes the "Screw" on the Quest Board.] Quest Board - "Screw" - The pendant from Fukki's grandmother was made as a screw! I wonder what this part is used for? ---------------------------------------- Mini-Game #3: Glow Ball Race Rappy 9 - The "Glow Ball Race" is going on over here! [You are given two choices. "Participate!" and "Don't Participate." If you choose "Don't Participate."...] - Too bad. [If you choose "Participate!"...] - Here you compete against rivals to manipulate the glowballs! If you can reach the goal before the rivals, you'll get a reward! 500 Meseta are required to participate! [You are given two choices. "Participate!" and "Quit." If you choose "Quit"...] - Too bad. [If you choose "Participate!" but you don't have 500 meseta...] - I'll take an advanced payment of 500 Meseta. Hold on now... You don't have enough Meseta! Come back after saving up some Meseta! [If you choose "Participate!" and you have 500 meseta...] - I'll take an advanced payment of 500 Meseta. Great. Thanks for your business! Now, good luck manipulating the glow balls! [The scene shifts to the inside of the glow ball race room. There are two purple glowballs; one is large and one is small. The large glowball on the left is controlled by you. The small glowball on the right is controlled by a Rappy] - Shall I explain the game before we begin? [You are given two choices. "Listen to explanation!" and "Don't listen." If you choose "Listen to explanation!"...] - Okay, I got you. The rules are easy. Just kick back and listen up. Aim you and your rival's glow balls for the laser fence and advance. [NAME] can give support as well as direct the glow balls. Choose your options well, and triumph over the glow balls! Don't give up until the end! Wanna here a more detailed explanation? [You are given two choices. "Listen to explanation!" and "Don't listen." If you choose "Listen to explanation!"...] - I'll explain in detail how to direct the glow balls! Select "Advance" to up the ball's speed for a fixed interval. Select "Dash" to increase the speed of the balls even more. But you can only use "Dash" 3 times in the race! If you select it too much, the speed will go down so watch out! Be careful of "Back"! Selecting it means you'll run backwards! Try "???" if you need to make an anything can happen comeback!" Anyway, try to give direction quickly and calmly! Giving lots of direction is the shortcut to victory. [Or if you choose "Don't listen." at any point, you advance to this point...] - Well, here we go! On your marks... Get set... Go! [You are then repeatedly given three choices. The choice you select is reflected in the actions of your glow ball. One of the three choices is always "Advance", but the other two are two out of the other three possible commands, "Dash!", "Back", and "???". The order of the three commands is random. The race ends when one of the two glow balls completely crosses the finish line, which is a laser fence. When the race ends...] - That's far enough! Goal! Congrats!! And the results are... And the winner is... [If you lost the race...] - Rappy!! Your reward is 1 points. I'll give them to you! [If you won the race...] - [NAME]! It's you!! Push the envelope on your abilities! [You are given two choices. "Participate!" and "Don't participate." If you choose "Don't participate...] - Congrats on clearing! Your reward is 3 points. I'll give them to you! [If you choose "Participate!", the race starts over again and...] - Well, here we go! On your marks... Get set... Go! [At the end of the second race....] - That's far enough! Goal! Congrats!! And the results are... And the winner is... [If you lost this second race...] - Rappy!! Your reward is 1 points. I'll give them to you! [If you won this second race...] - [NAME]! It's you!! Push the envelope on your abilities! [You are given two choices. "Participate!" and "Don't participate." If you choose "Don't participate."...] - Congrats on clearing! Your reward is 5 points. I'll give them to you! [If you choose "Participate!", the race start over once again and...] - Well, here we go! On your marks... Get set... Go! [At the end of the third race...] - That's far enough! Goal! Congrats!! And the results are... And the winner is... [If you lost the third race...] - Rappy!! Your reward is 1 points. I'll give them to you! [If you won this third and final race...] - [NAME]! It's you!! Congrats! The prize is all the containers in the race area! Take them all with you without leaving one behind! [After winning the race three times in a row, you are transported inside of the glow ball race game room. Here you will find another Rappy.] Rappy 10 - What are you doing in a place like this? Collecting flowers like honey bee... As if you'd been attracted to my charm. Ha-ha. [But if you are doing the Stamp Rally...] Rappy 10 - ! ! ! Looks like you found it! That's right, This is a stamp rally check point! I'll stamp your card now. ... ... Congratulations! - What are you doing in a place like this? Collecting flowers like honey bee... As if you'd been attracted to my charm. Ha-ha. ... ... But, can you believe that even I have rivals? There's a rumor that a beautiful woman is at the festival! That's just vexing you know! [After you complete the glow ball race, the terminal next to it is activated.] Glow Ball Race Terminal - Fastest record [NAME] Record [NUMBER] second ---------------------------------------- [There is a Rappy trapped inside a strange structure surrounded by fences. A terminal next to it can be struck repeatedly until the fences lower and the Rappy is freed. This Rappy's attitude suggests that he has purposely been imprisoned.] Rappy 11 - Hey! [CLASS], give me something. Narrator - What will you give? [You have five choices. "1 point", "5 points", "10 points", "25 points", or "Give nothing.". If you choose "Give nothing."...] Rappy 11 - Hey there! This isn't a show you know! Now, get on home! [If you select a point value and you don't have that many points...] - Hmm... You don't have the main item... Just forget we ever had this little talk! [If you select "1 point"...] - Hmph! You've got nothing to offer me. I don't feel like telling you anything. Ha-ha... Well, I'll be seeing you now. [If you select "5 points"...] - Do you get my meaning? Can I have 5 more points? [You have two choices. "Give." and "Don't give!". If you choose "Give."...] - Thanks again! ... ... Do you know what a stamp rally is? Finding the check points is supposed to be difficult... According to the rumors. There's a mini-game hidden at each check point. That's what people say! If you still can't find it, cooperate with the mini-game friends. [If you select "10 points"...] - Any more takers? Can I have 10 more points? [You have two choices. "Give." and "Don't give!". If you choose "Give."...] - Any more takers? Can I have 10 more points? [Again, "Give." or "Don't give!" If you choose "Give."...] - I definitely received it. ... ... A lovely woman was sighted in this area recently. Seems she's searching for some amazing stone. Seems she's just a tad shy and rarely shows herself. If you try searching stealthily alone you might run into her. [If you select "25 points"...] - I'll guide you to the outskirts of the forest! That'll be 25 points more. ["Give." or "Don't give!". If you choose "Give."...] - Thanks again! I'll guide you to the outskirts of the forest! Could you close your eyes for a while? Make way for one customer! Thanks for your patronage. [You are then transported to Forest 1 - Fifth room] [If at any point you choose "Don't give!"....] - Hmph! You've got nothing to offer me. I don't feel like telling you anything. Ha-ha... Well, I'll be seeing you now. ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Forest 1 - Third room Rappy 12 - I'm Gabbie. I love toying with machines! A wide variety of machine have fallen here. For me, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

[NAME] I'll give you all the items here as a present! [For S and SS Class, you will remain inside the motorcycle chicken race room once the race ends. The difference between S and SS class is that to get S you must stop right before the cliff, and for SS, you stop just as you are going over the edge of the cliff, and thus you are facing downward when you get SS rank] [After you complete the motorcycle chicken race game, the terminal outside will activate.] Chicken Race Terminal - Champion [NAME] [SS, S, A, B, C, or D] Class ---------------------------------------- [Inside the chicken race game area, there is a terminal near the cliff.] Mystery Terminal - The computer isn't started up...

What's with you! I have nothing to hide! Hurry up and get out of here! I've got some pressing business to attend to. [If you speak with Rappy 26 after helping Flat...] - My friends sometimes go pick flowers too! But, it's dangerous so be careful! It's very scary if the Hildebear's get angry! Speaking of that... Slope who left for the Hildebear forest has yet to return. Wonder if she's okay? Now, I'm worried! [If you speak with Rappy 26 after helping Flat, and you have the "Friendship Fragment" or the "Fragment of Friendship" on your Quest Board...] - Huh? Lo and behold, if that isn't the "Friendship Fragment"? Will you give it to me? Thanks! I'm the forest gate watcher. A Rappy gater! I'm always alone protecting this. But... At times, I do feel just a smidgin of loneliness. But [NAME] now we're friends! I don't feel lonely! ... ... This is supposed to be kept a secret but... I'll show you the road to the Hildebear forest to express my thanks! [The laser fence lowers and a transport appears on the other side.

Narrator - Got "Rajuenda Flower"! Rappy 27 - This flower is a rare kind on Ragol. It is said to be blessed by spirits of the deceased... If you keep it as an amulet, I think it will protect you. Just sitting here and gazing at it is fine but... There's probably someone who would buy it for a high price. How should we use these flowers? You decide and use them. ... ... ... Oh, I'm sorry. I dazed off... Thank you so much for helping me! Quest Board - "Rajuenda Flower" - The flowers Flat and Slope picked have a high scarcity value. Some Rappies seem to collect these flowers. Having them is said to give divine protection from the spirits. [Speak with Flat again...] Rappy 27 - Thanks so much for earlier. ... ... ... ... ... ... Boo-hoo. [You are given two choices. "What's wrong?" and "See you later!". If you choose "See you later!"...] - Boo-hoo. [If you choose "What's wrong?"...] - Actually... When I was attacked earlier by them, my fiancee was taken away by a Hildebear. ... ... Rajuenda Flower. ...They're quietly blooming in Hildebear territory. I really wanted to get these flowers and wandered into their territory despite knowing the dangers. If I'd gone with her to pick them, she'd be safe with me now... Boo-hoo. Oh, my beloved Slope I just hope she's safe! ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Forest 2 [After taking the warp, you appear in Forest 2.

Do you remember me? It's me... Flat. This is Hildebear territory. If I didn't pick "Rajuenda Flower", Slope would be fine. I'm begging you again! Help my fiancee. Save Slope please!

[Behind a laser fence on the west side of Forest 2 is another Hildebear Child...] Hildebear Child 3 - We too want to be friends with everyone... Want to be friends... friends... Uwhaaa... [After you speak with Hildebear Child 3, laser fences rise and trap you inside the room. You must defeat several spawns of enemies before you can escape. Then in the southeast corner of Forest 2, you find another Hildebear Child...] Hildebear Child 4 - Uwhaaa... What's so different about us an Rappies? We're both living beings! ! ! But still, you support the Rappies... [Eventually you reach the Central Dome. After fighting off a horde of Hildebears...] Hildebear Child 1 - You're strong! You're too much for us! ... ... Honestly, we don't want any conflict. Uwhaaa... Don't come any closer! Stand still... We have uncontrollable anger... Before it comes gushing out of our bodies... Leave now... While we've still got our pride... [The scene shifts to each of the other Hildebear Children, and each of them disappear. Finally it returns to Hildebear Child 1 and he disappears. The laser fence around Flat and Slope is lowered.] Rappy 27 (Flat) - ! ! ! Thank you so much! [NAME] I knew you'd be of help! I tried... I wanted to show her I was strong but I got captured. But, I wont get depressed about it! I'll make her happy one of these days. You'll see... I want to be a Rappy as helpful as you, [NAME]. [If you were hit by flames once or twice on your way through Forest 2, and thus the Rajuenda Flower is burned...] Rappy 28 (Slope) - Thank you so much! Me going to pick Rajuenda Flowers was well... Just selfish of me. It's all my fault... But, I'm happy. I really am. I didn't get Rajuenda Flowers but discovered something wonderful! Of course, you Hunter for helping me... I also noticed what a brave Rappy, Flat is. [Transporter to Pioneer 2 is opened. Go back to Pioneer 2 and speak with the Hunter's Guild Girls to end the quest.] [But if you managed to rescue Flat and Slope without getting hit by flames, and thus the Rajuenda Flower is still intact...] Rappy 28 (Slope) - Thank you so much! Me going to pick Rajuenda Flowers was well... Just selfish of me. It's all my fault... Oh... [NAME]... That's a... "Rajuenda Flower" isn't it? Huh, Flat did what? ... ... [NAME] according to Rappy customs, when proposing marriage, "Rajuenda Flower" is always handed over... If you don't mind, could I have those flowers? Narrator - Handed over "Rajuenda Flower". Rappy 28 (Slope) - ...Thanks. Please receive this in exchange for that. [Slope transports your character to the last room in Forest 2, which is filled with treasure boxes.

Client : A spy who infiltrated the lab Quest: Prevent the disclosure of the research to the outside world! Destroy the host computer to prevent the disclosure! Reward: ??? Meseta Spy (Introduction) - ...Well now! Glad to see you made it! I'll tell you what I know. Inquiries into past inheritances are going on underground Ragol. If you're a real Hunter then you've probably seen it before right? Traces of our civilization slumber in the depths of Ragol... This ancient technology provides insight into our civilization... While the expected returns are vast, the risk is even greater. This kind of research must be handled with extreme prudence. Initially our general government was not directly involved. Under the cover of an inspector, I penetrated the facility to spy... But recently, the upper echelons have beguns suspicious acts. The possibility exists that research has been leaked to a 3rd party. The research might have been diverted to military use. We must avoid it. The government-general deemed further research to be dangerous and... restricted the actions of the upper echelons at the research facilities. Well now! I want to ask you to infiltrate the lab and delete the research data. If you can penetrate the depths of the facilities and locate the host... computer and destroy it then your mission will be complete. Several security systems are in place throughout the lab. Take this. It should be able to unlock most of the security systems. Narrator - Got S Rank ID Card! Spy - I'll leave it up to you on how to proceed. I won't ask your means. Using the experiment facility to penetrate is also an option. I can't be responsible for any effects on your body while inside... Well now! Press onward and downward. Ha-ha. All the best. Spy (Before Finding the Experiment Facility) - Infiltrate the facility. Delete the research data! These are the details of your mission orders. If you can penetrate the depths of the facilities and locate the host... computer and destroy it then your mission will be complete. Now get to it. The fate of our world is in your hands. Spy (After Finding the Experiment Facility) - You found the experiment facility? It's dangerous but you might be able to use it to get inside. I just hope that you can open a new road in. Scientist in Custody - Until now I haven't been able to bask in the light of day. Each day locked up in experiments in the underground dim light. My research is my life... My light, my world... Now you're trying to bury my existence in the darkness. I'm not concerned with how the results of my research are used. However... Who are they and you to judge me!! Scientific advancement has the power to open up paths for our lives. You trying to stop this advancement makes us enemies does it not? Please! At least spare the host computer! My years of toiling, all my research is recorded inside it! Generic Guard # 1 - Excuse me... I stand guard to make sure this researcher does not run off. ... Watching the doctor isn't going overboard, don't you think? You are quite the optimist huh. Loads of people are after the doctor's research. If people after the research were nice like you that'd be different. Generic Guard # 2 - Did you talk to my partner next door? He's a good enough guy but a bit uptight. He's got a strong sense of responsibility. But... His getting this job by chance seems a bit strange. I'm mean I don't feel one bit of the responsibility. I mean you're just here because you were asked to be right? Oh sorry, sorry. Did I make you angry? Well then, let's make the best of it. Dr. Montague (if you haven't finished "Doc's Secret Plan" on quest difficulty level) - Humph... H-humph... Dr. Montague (if already finished "Doc's Secret Plan" on quest difficulty level) - [NAME] is that you? It has been ages. Did you want to see me or something? [If you say "It was nothing"...] - Oh, you don't say now do you? If anything interesting happens below let me know. [If you say "Elinor?"...] - Elinor? Oh, fine and dandy. And, huh? That's strange. Someone was just here. [If you say "What's that matierial?" with no Monster Part...] - Hmph... Which one? Huh? You don't have any particular objective? Check here and there. I think you will find some good matierials. Uh-huh... [If you say "What's that material?" with a Monster Part but without the microchip...] - Hmph... Which one? Did you find something good? [If you say "NO"...] - Try a little harder, okay? Uh-huh... [If you say "YES" Montague says this first...] - What have we here? You have some nice materials don't you? I'll use this as a base and make you a weapon. Wait a minute. What are the terms of the exchange? That sounds good to me. If you ask, you'll find there are various fun things below. But I am under guard and cannot go below. Down there! You will find something down there to light up my life! Then I will make you a weapon in exchange for it! [...and then he says this if you do NOT have the microchip...] - Which one? Nothing here really grabs me you know. Uh-huh. Try a little harder, okay? I guess it can't be helped. That's disappointing. Try challenging yourself again. Uh-huh... [...but he says this if you DO have the microchip...] - What kind of chip is this? Don't you think it smells interesting? Okay, let's start negotiating. I will take this chip. I will create a weapon in exchange. So we have a deal right? I am prepared. I'll be finished soon so please wait. [Screen fades to black, then fades back in.] - ...! Sorry to keep you waiting. But it was worth it. Look. I researched various things. More than ever, it has become effective in various applications. The bodies of the monsters below are carriers. I haven't changed how I feel about eerie things. Narrator - You got a [NAME OF WEAPON]! [If you talk to Montague after he has made you a weapon he says...] - If I need your help again, I will ask you. Uh-huh... [Teleport down to Caves] Lab Assistant A [When normal sized] - Hey, what are you doing here? I haven't seen you before. Are you new around here? Hmm. You don't say? Or maybe you are a human test subject? You don't say? I guess I'm losing my touch. I think someone was calling you. Lab Assistant A [When tiny] - I guess it is just me. That's strange. I thought I heard someone's voice. Oh, so it was you? You are quite small you know. - La-la-la. Love is a magical thing... Oh me? I am head-over-heels, lost in love. I shared my interest in a certain person with a friend. Then I realized how that person felt about me. I think I really learned a great deal. I feel like a found something that I was missing. No, I am not talking about a microchip! Sorry. May bad. I guess I was mistaken. - So you said you haven't seen the microchip. ... I remembered. What I wanted to say about... Romance, dreams and uncertainty and all kinds of things... When you're worried, don't cling to the pain. Cooperate. Finding the answer that way isn't so bad. What could it be? Am I getting off track again? Lab Assistant B [When normal sized] - If you spend a long time doing research down here... You end up wanting a good, long vacation far, far away. When I get the chance, I want to spend some time away by myself. Isn't that what adventure should be about? How about you try going on an adventure all by yourself? You might find a totally new thing about yourself. Lab Assistant B [When tiny] - !!! Ah! Why are you so small? Don't surprise me like that. My heart almost jumped out of my chest! But if you spend a long time doing research down here... There's not enough fun. I feel the world has left me behind. Maybe... Maybe you are just the excitement that I need! Thinking positive is my strong suit. Well I have to get back in gear. It's off to work I go. Lab Assistant C [When normal sized] - Goodness Gracious! I was supposed to take the experiment report to the lower floors. But I couldn't find the way to the research lab. I think rocks have closed off the door that leads there. There was a small crevice between the rocks. But even a slim person like me cannot fit through it... Oh... What am I going to do now? - I have to get going soon. What should I do? I don't think I can get past the laser barriers. But you... Even a tomboy like me getting past the crevice is absurd. Oh... Whatever am I going to do now? Lab Assistant C [When tiny] - Ah!!! What? What is this small... How incredibly cute! Seeing a real live dwarf is a first for me!! Honestly. I speak the truth! You surprised me so much I forgot what I was going to say. Lab Assistant D [When normal sized] - You kept me waiting! So you are a new test subject aren't you? As you have probably already heard... This place is a secret experiment lab testing the latest research. Sorry about this right from the get go but... I'll take you through how to use the devices over there. First, stand inside the device on the left. Pushing the switch transports you to the device on the right. If all goes well, I think the experiment effects will appear. Transporting from the right yields the opposite results. Pretty easy if I do say so myself! I get the data so let's give it a try! - Okay. Okay. The devices work like this... First, stand inside the device on the left. Then the button. No, I mean the switch! That's it. To get the opposite result, do the same with the right device. Well... Can we get started? I haven't got all day. Lab Assistant D [When tiny] - For now, everything appears to be normal... The photon energy level is relatively stable. There should not be much affect on your body if transported. The problem is... Transporting into Pioneer 2! As long as no abnormalities break out in your body... Lab Assistant E - Heavens to Segal! I seemed to have lost some important research data! If the doctor finds about this... I don't want to think about it. Who knows what he would do! So...Please! Help me out of this jam! [If you say "Of course!"...] - Thanks a heap!! What I am looking for is a microchip. But since it is very tiny, it may be quite hard to find. I'll be here so if you find it please do let me know. I just know that you can find it! I trust you; I'll be waiting!! [If you say "Wait a minute here. What am I..."...] - No, please don't say that! It makes me sad... !! You are overly optimistic! No matter what I say, you will still take the job. You are just trying to get on my good side. I have had it! You have got me all steamed! [After your first refusal she says...] - You made it! Did you change your mind? So...Please! Help me out of this jam! [If you say "Of course!", see dialogue above. If you say "Wait a minute here. What am I..." again...] - ...But I trusted you to help me! How could you be that way? I will never trust anyone again! Oh...What should I do? I have to find it soon... [After your SECOND refusal she says...] - Oh horrors! Where could I had dropped it!? Darn! I am so angry I can't see!! [But if you do agree to help the poor girl and return to her without the chip she says this...] - Looking for it is too hard. Sorry to put you through this for me. I'll be waiting! I trust you to find it! Best of luck to you! [And if you find the chip and return it to her she says...] - Maybe that microchip is... ... That's it! That's what I was looking for! Only you... You are the only one who found the microchip for me. Thanks a million. But, I wonder where the other microchips could have gotten off to. Oh, the doctor is going to punish me! I almost forgot. Here's a token of my thanks. Please take it. Narrator - You got a digrinder! - I wonder where the other microchips could have gotten off to. Oh, the doctor is going to punish me! Lab Assistant E [When tiny] - !!! You scared me! So there are little people like you in this world. Little...? That's it!! Maybe someone small like you could... [She then continues with her normal dialogue as listed above.] Security Stations (Normal) - ID card was used. ... ID confirmed Root access clearance... Release the security locks? [If "YES"...] Open Area Security Level 1 * Locks Released [* For certain stations, it may display a different security level message.] [The Entrances to the Experiment Room, Mine 1 Entrance, and First Light Gate Entrance display] Classified Area Security Level 2 [The Mine 1 Midpoint Entrance displays] Classified Area Security Level 3 [The Laser Fence Blocking Access to the Second Light Gate displays] Unknown Area Security Level S [If "NO"...] Releasing the security locks (Nothing happens. Try again.) Security Stations (Unlocked) - Security locks have been released... Security Stations (When Puny) - Please insert the ID card into the slot... Narrator - Your hands can't reach the control panel!! [When you destroy the host computer...] Narrator - ...Confirm system halt of host computer.

Quest Board - Microchip - Difficulty finding the tiny microchip with the naked eye. Quest Board - Communications Record - ...Confirm system halt of host computer. [Return to Pioneer 2...] Scientist in Custody - I was just informed. I heard the research data has been deleted. I dedicated my life to my research. I sacrificed my family... Why did I journey to this distant star far from home? Why am I walking on this barren planet? Can you tell me the answer to this burning question? Spy - ...Well now! Think your mission is complete huh? I just confirmed that the host computer has been stopped. Excellent work [NAME]! ...But not so fast. The decision to destroy the facility and entomb the research data... may have laid damage to our delicate future. The head of the facility had this to say. History is built on our civilization's progress. What's to be afraid of? The leak just proves this. ... Discerning the fate of good and evil isn't a job to wish on anyone. Especially when our future hangs in the balance... Well now! Your reward is already at the guild. Just go and pick it up. As for your additional reward... [If you do NOT earn a reward...] - I'll hold onto it for the next time I call upon your services. ...Be seeing you around! [If you DO earn a reward...] - With all your brilliant skills and wonderful abilities... How about it?! Will you join our team? Please? With you on our side, being the best wouldn't be just a dream! Take this. It's a gift of respect for your gifts! Get it? Your abilities!! Narrator - Got Material! - Don't get your hopes up to high. ...Save the thrill of what I gave you for later. Well now! Be seeing you around!! - Well now! Be seeing you around!! Narrator - You've recieved 1500 meseta. ===================================================== Online Quest: Towards the Future ===================================================== The enemy simulator is complete. Challenge the other hunters. Client: Principal Quest: The enemy simulator is complete. Challenge the other hunters. Reward: ??? Meseta Principal Tyrell - ...Nice work. [NAME]'s [CLASS]. I'm Principal Tyrell. Here's the problem so listen up. As you know, the council opted to build simulators to oppose... enemies on Ragol. Until now, you have tested several simulators. The latest version of the simulator has been completed. Its codename is "RES". We want to entrust the conquest of this simulator to a superior hunter like yourself. There's no turning back. We need fertile earth. Try to advance as far as you can... Towards the future... Regarding... ... ... ... ...Never mind. It's nothing. ...Good luck. Ask my secretary Irene for details. - I said it was nothing. Ask my secretary Irene for details. Irene - Please allow me to explain the particulars. "RES" is a simulator to experience enemy combat on Ragol's terrain. Classified into 4 levels, you can experience a digest version of Ragol. The transport device has already been connected to "RES". When transported to "RES" play begins. When level 4 is cleared, play ends. After starting, come and go between the city and "RES" as you like. [The rest of Irene's dialogue is different on Normal/Hard mode, Vhard mode, & Ult mode. On Normal/Hard...] - And in addition... Based on expired TIME, DEATH RESPONSE frequency and ENEMIES KILLED your Rank C, B, A will be evaluated after clearing. Best of luck! You can expect a great deal of danger. Watch your back! [On Vhard mode...] - Also... Based on the TIME, DEATH RESPONSE frequency and ENEMIES KILLED your Rank C, B, A, S, SS will be evaluated after clearing. To better motivate all participants, teams with a S Rank will be awarded... a Secretly Developed Weapon. Best of luck! You can expect a great deal of danger. Watch your back! [On Ult mode...] - Also... Based on the TIME, DEATH RESPONSE frequency and ENEMIES KILLED your Rank C, B, A, S, SS will be evaluated after clearing. To better motivate all participants, teams who cleared "RES" will be awarded a Secret Weapon. You can expect a great deal of danger. Watch your back! [Talk with Irene again] - By the way, just between you and me... while it is still unconfirmed, "RES" appears to... have a number of unstable areas. If you find them, please tell me in private. [If you talk to Tyrell again after talking to Irene...] Principal Tyrell - Rico... N...no. It's nothing. Continue with "RES". - Conquer "RES" immediately and show your trustworthiness. I expect nothing but the best from you. [The WEAPONS member from the "Famitsu - Maximum Attack" quest is outside the Hospital] Member of WEAPONS - Huh? What do you want? [If you say "You brought an item."...] - What did you bring me this time? [You may now choose "Weapons Steel Badge", "Weapons Aluminum Badge", or "Weapons Bone Badge". If you say one of the badges that you do not have seven of...] - Come back after collecting a few more! [If you say one of the badges that you do have seven of...] - Wow! You have collected 7 Weapons [TYPE] Badge! Congrats!! Exchange them for a special item! Does that make your happy or what!? Well, it makes me happy. Narrator - Got [WOK OF AKIKO'S SHOP, BROOM, or PANZER'S TAIL]! Member of WEAPONS - Come back after collecting a few more! [If you say "Ask about the badge."...] - Hey!

[Yahoo! sound] You got it!! But I have it!! [Yahoo! sound] You got it!! But I have it!! You guessed it!! A Weapons Badge. Only the select few wear this mark of valor! Since the last test I had a pleasant feeling giving orders. ...Or should I say... Hoping for a new development in Weapons I had the badges hidden. Of course where they are hidden is a secret. Hmm. Are you really up to the test? Okay. I see. When they hid the badges a man named Leo Graheart was there. I recall meeting many military men. So how about it? Do you get my drift? Go find the badges for this new development at Weapons. If you collect the badges a special present will be awarded to you!. If you find all seven bring them to me. Good luck finding the badges!! Tekker in City - ... ... ... I am the guardian of evolution... And who might you be... Oh, sorry. Must have been my imagination. [There is a green haired FOmarl dressed in black near the Check Room.

The government created these training simulators. I heard that it ranks hunters. What a great simulator! Kid #1 by Transporter: - Experience and items only apply to the stage they were earned on. That's what my dad told me, but I'm just a kid. I don't understand. Kid #2 by Transporter: - Use the R trigger to see the title that you received. My grandpa told me that before, but I didn't pay attention. Woman in the City - Each stage has their own set of rules. Read them before starting a game. When a stage has been cleared, a title is given to allow you to progress. You can play the same stages even after you have cleared them. You will receive wonderful rewards after you cleared all stages. Good luck! Soldier in the City - The emphasis of this simulation is to help others! The simulation will end when any player in your group is dead. Pay attention to each other's condition and help each other. For example, when you have a Force, give health items to him/her. Good luck! ===================================================== Battle Mode ===================================================== Woman in the City - When joining a battle, you will be transferred to a training simulator. Defeat your opponent as many times as possible in this timed contest. What a great simulator! Kid #1 by Transporter: - Experience and items here cannot be used elsewhere. My dad said that you can't save them, and you can't take them with you. ...but I'm just a kid, I really don't know what he's talking about. Kid #2 by Transporter: - My grandpa told me to be careful when setting traps. "They blow up quickly," he said. But I don't know what he means. Woman in the City - Who is stronger? Have you ever thought about it? You'll find out how strong you are by using the training simulators. Victory is a matter of chance... You can't win all of the time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Very Special Thanks for Invaluable Help to - Skeearmon of Pioneer Alley (www.pioneeralley.com) for donating "Black Paper" and "Today's Rate."
