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.

[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.

You look great together. But, I really wonder how you will stack up. Absence makes the heart grow fonder you say? Are you that much in love? Makes you wonder huh? I will measure you love for you with my... "Love Check"!!!! So with this "Love Check" we'll see how close you really are! If you clear "RES" and make it back... Here's a little token for the happy couple. Start by inputting this "Love Code" at the terminal on level 1.

I'll be expecting more from you in the future. [If you have not earned a Special Weapon] Irene - Excellent work. Use your "RES" experience and solve the matter immediately.
