[Ian Atnad] ... that's distracting. What have you been loafing around for? Who the hell is this?

[Aures] Ian, why are you like this? This young adventurer was dispatched here from the Eden Group. He is here to help us.

[Ian Atnad] ..Hm... Rookie. I do not need such favors, send them back!

[Aures] I see he is acting like this again.. Do you think a bunch of old men can do this task easily? Stop being so stubborn for a change.

[Ian Atnad] ..Hey, Rookie. Are you here to monitor me on my daughter's orders? Is that it?

[Ian Atnad] Hum? You did not hear about my daughter? Then I don't need to bring up such idle talk.

[Ian Atnad] ...so you know about my relationship with my daughter? So are you trying to stay silent and just do your work? You are trying not to involve yourself?

[Ian Atnad] Good. Then I will order you to do something you really need right away. Let's see how well you can follow my instructions.

[Aures] This fellow.. He is like this to the end. Anyway, since we are here, I am at your service as well. I'm afraid the work we want to do is a bit dangerous.

[Ian Atnad] Stop talking nonsense and come here, Rookie.

[Aures] Sorry for this. Let's us go first. I have your back. So, you said you will help us with our work? Then let's see how well you do. There is a plaza if you leave this area and go further inside.

[Ian Atnad] There will be machines from a highly advanced civilization. There is an essential device to make the machines run.

[Ian Atnad] For now, there is something temporarily called the ^4d4dffOperation Control Device^000000 because it is still under investigation. Investigate the machine and collect 20 of the Operation Control Devices.

[Ian Atnad] I will see how well you work. 20 Power Control Devices. Should be no problem for one who is recommended by that supposedly great person, should it? Hm. .. Hm.. Don't get smug because of this! We will use that for research. Hand over everything you have.

[Aures] Haha.. This guy is stiff as always. Is it that hard to say one word of thanks for a job well done?

[Ian Atnad] Away with you! Why do you keep interfering.

[Aures] It is one of the few joys this old man has, so what can you do. I will thank you instead. Anyway, thanks for your trouble.

[Aures] You will probably focus on this kind of work in the future. We wanted to study these operation devices butwe didn't know how terrifying those machines were.

[Aures] I will write the report soon so I will ask for you help then as well.

[Ian Atnad] You two are getting along well. Go away! ...I still don't trust you. There's a thing called a contract so I'd like it you just quietly keep working.

[Ian Atnad] You're expecting a word of thanks to come out of me...

[Aures] Hey. Leave that stubborn fellow and come here for a minute!

[Ian Atnad] ...... huh.. what are you doing? Go! ....you.. Why don't you go find something to work on instead of playing around?

[Ian Atnad] I am saying this once more, I don't think you are here just to help us. I am sure Arquien is up to something.

[Ian Atnad] .....hm. Quickly come back to me after you are done with what you are doing. Are you coming back from sending the report? Good timing. Bring me something to snack on.

[Ian Atnad] Not the rations supplies here.. what is that? Find some delicacy to stimulate my appetite since it's hot and stuffy.

[Aures] Hey buddy. What kind of delicacy are you looking for here? Just take what Louis brought.

[Ian Atnad] Ah, you stay out of this. This is for the rookie to handle by themself. Find me a ^4d4dffdelicacy that is simple to eat yet juicy and refreshing and has a neat finish^000000!

[Ian Atnad] If you find what I want then I will listen to one wish of yours. Are you not here in hopes of getting something?

In order to ask Ian Atnad about the ^4d4dffLast Exploration^000000 it seems a ^4d4dffdelicacy that is simple to eat yet juicy and refreshing and has a neat finish^000000 has to be found.

Dialogue ends here

Are you going to make me repeat myself? Find me a ^4d4dffdelicacy that is simple to eat yet juicy and refreshing and has a neat finish^000000 and I will grant you what you want.

[Ian Atnad] If it's hard for you find it with that dimwitted head of yours then try to ask others at least! Something that will suit my taste. ..Hm. Giving up? Are you really? I didn't see you as someone who would give up so easily..?

[Ian Atnad] If what I requested is that difficult I will take it back. However, you must leave this excavation team.

I must find the lost Beef Toast somewhere.

Dialogue ends here

Hm.. is this it? ......Can I indeed eat this conveniently during work without separate silverware. ..Smells of freshly cooked meat.

Ian wipes his hands and slowly starts to eat the Beef Toast.

[Ian Atnad] Um... .....! This... this flavor! Packed with the juiciness of finely ground beef! I can taste the flavor of direct fire..!

[Ian Atnad] Exotic fruit and vegetables reel in the subtle greasiness of the oil! ...!

Try the leaves that are wrapped around the outside.

Dialogue ends here

[Ian Atnad] Indeed.. this can be consumed as well. Rich juiciness and fresh salad.. sweet fruit.. A fresh finishing flavor to wrap all of it up..!

[Ian Atnad] ...Kid.. Not bad. You have satisfied all the conditions I have laid out.

[Ian Atnad] I have no choice. Alright. I predicted there was something you wanted. A promise is a promise. What do you want from me?

1

To know about the Last Exploration

Available immediately

Dialogue ends here

[Ian Atnad] ... so that was it. I see.... To talk about that..give me some time to think. ....

[Ian Atnad] I need time to organize it as well. ....... Come back later. Please. Have you arrived? Have you adjusted to the excavation site? So what is it this time.

About the excavation project

Available immediately

The position of our excavation team has improved quite a bit due to your actions. Thanks to you we received permission to explore closed areas.

Script requirement

[Ian Atnad] So we are trying to expand the investigating area. But it seems there was a reason it was shut down.

Script requirement

[Ian Atnad] It seems there are a lot of machines in that area that react sensitively to organisms. Furthermore there was a veil of peculiar energy..

Script requirement

[Ian Atnad] Check out the Research facilities area first. Let me know if there is anything peculiar.

Script requirement

They say the Research facilities area is connected to the road going up from the right side of the plaza. Well, if you get up there the corporate bastards will be there restricting access.

[Ian Atnad] If you find something worth risking danger for come back right away and tell me! [Ian Atnad] Let's look around as well instead of just working. These kind of opportunities are rare. You're finally here. So, did you get any results?

[Ian Atnad] Hm...? Wh..what. What is that in your hand?! How...can this be. I didn't imagine I would see this here...?

[Aures] Huh? What is it? It looks like your eyes are going to pop out. Let me share in the surprise.

[Ian Atnad] This..this is. Is a Memory Record.. Didn't you talk about this to me once?

[Ian Atnad] My great-grandparents had something that looked like this... It is a type of recording medium that records voices and sounds.

[Aures] Ooh... Is it magic? I know a bit of picture magic that can preserve images seen by the eye.. Is it something similar?

[Ian Atnad] No. This is not an application of magic. This is purely a product of science. I've seen my great-grandparents use this to listen to songs or record voices.

[Ian Atnad] In my youth I thought it was merely a toy-like invention of my great-grandparents.... Now I wonder why they did not announce that technology.

[Ian Atnad] It is a memory when I was very young but it looks just like this. ..can we know the contents of the Memory Record with that.

[Ian Atnad] I need that! I see! That.. ...Ah....

[Aures] Hey, there. Are you okay? Isn't the device that can decipher it in your house?

[Aures] You.. ah... I see. Ahahahahaha.. This guy. You don't know where your house is? Ahahahahaha!

[Ian Atnad] .... Didn't you say Arquien disposed of the house..? We can easily figure it out if only we had the record player.

..What? Why are you looking at me?

Available immediately

Dialogue ends here

[Ian Atnad] You're that child's informant! So go there and bring back the ^4d4dffrecord player^000000.

[Aures] I see. The one who can easily talk to her right now is you. If it's okay we would like to ask you to do so. Find that child Arquien, and bring back the record player. She must give me at least that much. I cannot tell what that child is up to. If she has a problem with me tell her to come and say it to me directly!

[Ian Atnad] ...Why in the world is she not going to give it! Then are you going to go and listen to it every time?

[Aures] Well, that's not bad either.

[Ian Atnad] Yeah, not bad. Not! Anyway.. Since it turned out like this you make sure to bring it. Okay? Did you see some results this time?

1

Tell him the contents of the Memory Record.

Available immediately

Dialogue ends here

[Ian Atnad] ...Any chance you misheard it? Why is Atnad mentioned there?

[Aures] You never know. Since you had the record thing in your house, could it be you are a descendant of this city?

[Ian Atnad] I am... a descendant of this city..Verus? Then why has this place been uncovered now? Shouldn't we have known of this place much sooner?

[Ian Atnad] No no. It was strange. That's why Juperos.. That's why Juperos wasn't unfamiliar to me so I latched on.

[Ian Atnad] If my ancestors are of this city.. why did they keep it a secret?

1

That we don't know.

Available immediately

Dialogue ends here

[Ian Atnad] Yes.. yes. Of course we do not know. It seems we will have to find more of those Memory Records to know more.

[Ian Atnad] I am sorry, but.. you went to the Research facilities, right? Do you know of the enormous underground facility discovered near the laboratories?

[Ian Atnad] First time hearing of it? .. It seems things like Memory Records are being found in that underground facility as well.

[Ian Atnad] Let's take the initiative before the others start to get interested. The others can't decipher the messages anyway.

[Ian Atnad] And, if we gather enough Memory Records..... Go to Arquien and find out the... ugh... contents. Do you understand? You will find the restricted area if you go to the connected path North-west of the plaza area. We have an excavation permit so you can enter.

[Ian Atnad] But I hear there are strange robots that are acting aggressively so be careful.

[Ian Atnad] Come back after you find the entry path to the underground facility there. Remember ^4d4dffcollecting Memory Records from the laboratories is the goal^000000.

[Ian Atnad] At least five? We need five to decipher it right? Collect them and go to Arquien. This time too! Why.. why is that child acting like this!

[Ian Atnad] What? She wants to participate in this project too? She will regularly decipher the Memory Records and send the results..?

[Ian Atnad] ...Why is she doing this. And so suddenly..?

[Aures] It seems she's become aware of something as well. Is this not a good thing? Father and daughter can get along and figure out their ancestors' past.

[Ian Atnad] ...Is it?. Is there no other way? Anyway, you go and see the results. You have to check if Arquien is doing it correctly.

[Aures] We need somebody to collect the Memory Records as well? Ahahahahaha

Have you arrived? In fact I have been waiting.

Is there something wrong?

Script requirement

Script requirement

[Ian Atnad] Something wrong? Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.

Script requirement

[Rekenber Chief Secretary] Hello? I am the Chief Secretary of Rekenber's Secretariat, W.H. I have been waiting.

Script requirement

Chairman Rekenber's secretary?

Script requirement

Dialogue ends here

Script requirement

[Rekenber Chief Secretary] That is right. I serve Chairman Rekenber.

Script requirement

[Ian Atnad] So, what's the mighty Chairman's secretary doing in a place like this? I thought there were reports on the excavation being separately sent?

Script requirement

[Rekenber Chief Secretary] The chairman wants to meet all of you. Come and visit the headquarters in Rihrtarzen anytime.

Script requirement

[Rekenber Chief Secretary] It would be better if you could visit as soon as possible.. We request the Memory Record content be left undisclosed for the time being.

Script requirement

[Ian Atnad] Why is that? Why should we do that?

Script requirement

[Rekenber Chief Secretary] Hm.. I think I know what you are going to say but... Let's just say the time is not right yet.

Script requirement

[Rekenber Chief Secretary] We invited you to discuss the details of that issue as well. So it would better to visit soon, would it not? We will be waiting.

Script requirement

[Aures] What..is.. going on here.. Hey Ian, did you get on the wrong side of the corporation?

Script requirement

[Ian Atnad] I don't know! We should go anyway since they told us to. Hey you.

Script requirement

Me?

Script requirement

Dialogue ends here

Script requirement

[Ian Atnad] Yes. You. They say you have to accompany us. Let's meet at the Rekenber Corporation Headquarters. It's better to take care of things like this at once.

Script requirement

[Ian Atnad] Well, that's not untrue... Anyway go along. I will leave deciphering the Memory Records up to you and Arquien for the time being. Since you say you won't ask about the Last Exploration any more.. What is it today?

If I think about it this kind of structure isn't bad either. The content recorded in the Memory Records is what is important.

[Ian Atnad] Since I am getting results without moving a finger.. ......Good.. I will think positively. Yeah.

[Ian Atnad] I cannot figure out what Arquien is thinking. It would be so much better for me to bring back the Record player.

[Ian Atnad] What? She wants to participate in this project too? She will regularly decipher the Memory Records and send the results..?

[Ian Atnad] It's odd she's like this now when she used to hate even dreaming of working.

[Aures] It seems she's become aware of something as well. Is this not a good thing? Father and daughter can get along and figure out their ancestors' past.

[Ian Atnad] ...Is that so? Is there no other way? Anyway, it seems we need your help. You have to check if Arquien is doing it correctly.

[Aures] We need somebody to collect the Memory Records as well? Ahahahahaha

[Ian Atnad] Well, that's not untrue... ^4d4dffWork with Arquien for the time being.^000000 What are you doing? Hurry up. ^4d4dffRekenber Headquarters is in Lighthalzen^000000. You go on ahead. Let's meet there. You can never know what will happen. I guess I should be happy with exclusive rights to the Memory Records. What is it today?

[Ian Atnad] The excavation project? .. do you mean the Power Control Device?

[Ian Atnad] Are you talking about today's work? It may be obvious but it is to look for Power Control Devices. ... ..You don't have to do it if you don't want to.

[Ian Atnad] You? You definitely said you will find them yourself? I have no reason to reject this offer. Since you said you will do it yourself.

Script requirement

[Ian Atnad] Collect 20 Power Control Devices this time as well. If we can unravel the secret of Power Control Devices... We should be able to fix the broken ones and use them ourselves, right? It will be fun.

Script requirement

[Ian Atnad] ... And.. I feel like I've seen it.. feels like I will know it. Like I will remember. If I research and research until it is stuck in my brain I am sure something will come of it.

Script requirement

[Ian Atnad] If you aren't here to work then go away. You're distracting me. It's always the same. It's ^4d4dff20 Power Control Devices^000000. Since we're already here, I want to do this right so try not to mess up. You got it right again. .... What are you looking at? Drop what you brought and leave.

[Ian Atnad] ......This time I will use it well without breaking it. Let's slowly get into restoration as well. We are researching it now. It's possible we will render it useless from the experiments. Anyway I am busy now so leave me alone. The Power Control Devices we recovered in the past are all broken. They couldn't withstand all the experiments. Just like the ones now.

[Ian Atnad] Arquien is like that too. ......Because she couldn't withstand it... .. ...Hoo..
