• 1

• [Ghalstein] Yes, Lighthalzen couldn't be perfecter. Ahahahaha... But still... Hm. Um. Oh, never mind.

• [Ghalstein] Ha ha ha! Anyway, I hope you have a good day today~

• [Ghalstein] Hm? It's a little cloudy today, isn't it? It would be nice to stay inside, listening to some nice music while enjoying a hot cup of tea, wouldn't it?

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] Ahhh! Such pleasant weather~ I'm so glad I'm outside and enjoying the sunlight. Feel it. It's so warm and nice on your face, isn't it?

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] The sun is gently shining, the breeze is gently blowing. Oh, this weather could not be better!

• 1

  Yes, you're right.

  [Ghalstein] Yes, right now is the best time to be outside and to enjoy all of this fresh, wonderful air. Come, take a deep breath with me. O...

  • Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] No! You must have mistaken me for somebody else! Now, if you'll excuse me...

• ^3355FFEven if it wasn't Ghalstein that you just heard, he reacted pretty strongly to what you said to him. Almost as if he had something to hide... ^000000

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] Hm? Judging from the look on your face, you apparently still believe that I was involved in some kind of clandestine meeting.

• 1

  Yes, I'm sure of it!

  [ Yes, I'm sure of it! That was definitely you! Your voice, your way of speaking is unmistakable!

  • [ Yes, I'm sure of it! That was definitely you! Your voice, your way of speaking is unmistakable!

  • [Ghalstein] ...... .......... ...............

  • [Ghalstein] Alright. Yes, it's true that I did meet someone in secret. But what gives you the right to interrogate me in this rather aggressive fashion?

  • 1

    I'm not interrogating...

    [ I'm not interrogating you. No, not at all. It's, um, it's just...

      • [ Who are you dealing with? I heard something about some organization that's supposedly very powerful and I'm starting to get really concerned.

      • [ I don't think I can ignore hearing about any kind of dangerous corporation, even if I wanted to. Turning my back to this seems wrong...

      • [Ghalstein] Hm... You really feel that way?

      • [Ghalstein] Please give me a moment. I need some time to think about how I can best handle this situation.

      • Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] I've come into a decision and found a way that I can let you into my confidence without putting the efforts of my organization at risk.

• [Ghalstein] As you may have already guessed, I'm a member of an organization whose ultimate goal is to put an end to the Rekenber Corporation.

• [Ghalstein] However, before I relate more information regarding my organization and its work, I shall require your cooperation.

• 1

  How can I cooperate?

  Available immediately

• [ How can I cooperate? Um, what exactly is it that you want me to do?

• [Ghalstein] You do seem interested in knowing more about us, and we can also use your expertise as an adventurer. But first you must decide if you will commit to cooperation.

• 1

  I still don't get it...

  [Ghalstein] Alright, let me make this clearer for you. You have two choices.

  Available immediately

  • [Ghalstein] Alright, let me make this clearer for you. You have two choices.

  • 1

    Two choices?

    Available immediately

  • [Ghalstein] If you choose to cooperate with us, you'll need to periodically drink this red magic tonic.

  • [Ghalstein] The red tonic will allow us to monitor your every move so that we know you won't betray us. You'll have to continue cooperating or else we won't give you the cure.

  • [Ghalstein] Throughout our mission, you'll need to take a red tonic every so often to avoid suffering fron unpleasant consequences. When we finish, you get the antidote.

  • 1

    .........

    Available immediately

  • [Ghalstein] If you choose not to cooperate, simply drink this blue tonic, which will erase every fragment of your memory regarding our meeting.

  • [Ghalstein] So, what have you decided to do?

  • 1

    Don't cooperate

    Available immediately

• [Ghalstein] Ah, good choice. So will you take this red tonic?

• 1

  Do not take it.

  Available immediately

• [Ghalstein] You really feel that way? Well, that's a shame. Pity, really...

• ^3355FFYou suddenly get the weird feeling that someone has been behind you this entire time. As you slowly turn around to look, you were knocked unconscious...^000000

  Script requirement

• ^666666swallow this pill.^000000

• ^3355FFYou're forced to swallow some strange pill which immediately makes all your thoughts hazier until it begins to feel like your entire mind is getting bleached somehow.^000000

• Dialogue ends here

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] So how are you feeling? Any nausea that you may be experiencing should be going away very soon. Anyway, let's get started.

• [Ghalstein] Rekenber Corporation is closely affiliated with Regenschirm, an underground laboratory inhabited by strange and suspicious creatures.

• [Ghalstein] Your mission will be to infiltrate this underground lab and bring back evidence which proves the existence of these creatures. You must gather various kinds of proof.

• [Ghalstein] But more importantly, there is ^FF0000something there that you have to bring back to me^000000. I can't tell you exactly what it is, but trust me. You'll know.

• [Ghalstein] If you search the Laboratory enough, you'll find what I'm talking about. In any case, you'll need to find a way to get inside the lab.

• [Ghalstein] It might be helpful to know that we've received reports about disappearances of people from the ^FF0000eastside slums^000000. We believe they are perhaps traveling illegally...

• [Ghalstein] If someone there is transporting people without authorization, maybe you can find a contact who can sneak you inside the Laboratory.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] For now, it may be best to start investigating the eastside slums to see if you can find somebody who can get you inside the Laboratory.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] An error occurred.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] Ah, this looks like a sufficient amount of evidence for us to be able to effectively attack our enemy. I believe you're ready for the next mission.

• [Ghalstein] But first, I believe it's time for another red tonic dose so that we can keep monitoring you. Oh, and don't worry, it's not addictive or anything strange like that.

• [Ghalstein] Now, find ^FF0000Gusharr^000000, one of our members, ^FF0000near Juno^000000. He will tell you about your next mission. Show this to him to prove that you are working with us. Don't forget.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] When you get inside the Laboratory, make sure that you search around for any records and get any sort of concrete evidence we can use. I'll be counting on you.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] We'll need more evidence than this from the Laboratory to make any impact against our enemy. I know what we need is difficult to find, but I'm sure that you can pull this off.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] Please find Gushaar in the vicinity of Juno. He will give you all the details for your next mission.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] You've made the decision to help us in order to learn more about our organzation. We appreciate all the help we can get, but I hope you don't regret getting in this deep.

• [Ghalstein] There's a certain price for knowledge. I believe you're capable of paying it, but whether or not this ordeal will be worthwhile to you is difficult to determine.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] You're so close to accomplishing your mission. If all goes as planned, we can do some real damage to our enemy. And you'll finally be free.

• Dialogue ends here

• [Ghalstein] I can't believe what happened. I just heard that the president was betrayed! This is horrible! We'll have to start all over. Was it all for nothing?!

• [Ghalstein] No. No, Jargeah would be so disappointed in me if I just gave up. I'll have to follow our dream, no matter what the obstacles are. Jargeah, give me strength!

• [Ghalstein] Also, you've done a great service for us. Although we failed, you carried out your missions perfectly. Here, take this antidote so that you'll finally be free of us.

• [Ghalstein] I'd like you to take this small gift, as way of apology. We asked you to do so much, but ultimately, we weren't able to accomplish what we set out to do. Still...

• [Ghalstein] I'd like to thank you for everything. Hopefully, you found the answers that you were looking for when you decided to help us. Farewell, faithful friend.

• [Ghalstein] I hate being patient, but the old adage is true. He who runs away, lives to fight another day. But that day seems so far off into the future...
