Li Zhui
The grove ... is gaining its peace.
Chen Qianyu
Hmm? Not really sensing anything, but sure...
L
Li Zhui
Is someone humming a song...?
Y
Yuxuan
Erm, did you hear something strange? Sounds like a path has just been opened...
Chen Qianyu
Really?! We gotta look for it! Go, go, go!
Chen Qianyu
Hahaha! All the lights are on!

Li Zhui
Are you a ... secret hermit master?
Y
Yan Lin
My dear lady, can you kindly let us through? There's a broken machine that needs to be repaired. How about we set you up nearby?
H
Hong Ni
Friggin' hell. Is she playing deaf? You Wulingers have less manners than we do!
Y
Yuxuan
Can this be...? Hmm ... she looks quite familiar...
?
???
You —! Yes, I'm talking to you. You stand apart. An entity who walks with them all, yet held aloof from the crowd.
?
???
You see a tree — Is the tree truly a tree?
?
???
Hmph.
?
???
Hmm...
?
???
HAHAHAHA...
Y
Yuxuan
So, I guess ... we can go ahead and fix the machine?
Chen Qianyu
What a strange old lady...

Dialogue

Y
Yuxuan
Hmm. I suddenly remembered who that weird old lady is... I think she's some super old Tianshi who's also really into the sciences of Talosian biology.
Y
Yuxuan
It was over a decade ago... The old lady's the one who named the cute little pantailbeasts. She was also the primary investigator of the fixed wave emitter project.
Y
Yuxuan
Then she retired and became a hermit. I can't believe we actually ran into her.
Y
Yuxuan
Wow. She's also the one who wrote A Study of Grovenymphs in Different Seasons... That means she actually spent years working on a project ... that she practically knew everything about...!
Y
Yuxuan
I guess that's a true scientist from the last generation... They would do anything to prove an esoteric point.
H
Hong Ni
I don't know nothing about that scientific mumbo-jumbo you just said! I just wanna know if I can dig my nymphsprouts safely, aight?!
H
Hong Ni
That's the only good news we need!
Y
Yuxuan
Seems he went back. Mumbling something about 'changing careers' and 'studying his origins'... You know, the usual post-grove existential crisis.
Chen Qianyu
Eh? Well... when you think about it, he definitely was way too jumpy for this job.
Chen Qianyu
That means, Captain Mi Fu is gonna miss one reliable assistant!
Chen Qianyu
Anyhoo... We've all made it safe and sound. Seems like peace has once again returned to the grove...

Radio

Chen Qianyu
Is that the islet you mentioned, Tianshi Yuxuan? It's so pretty!
Y
Yuxuan
Yeah. The fixed wave emitter should be over there.
Chen Qianyu
Wait! Someone's over there! Hmm. Looks like a Tianshi from what she's wearing.
Chen Qianyu
But why would there be a Tianshi...? This place is so isolated fowlbeasts don't even roost here.

Uh-oh. I don't think we're the only ones lured by the singing. Endmin! Watch out!

I certainly didn't expect this tiny grove to hide so many secrets...
Chen Qianyu
Hmm... Endmin, we should really head back and try to figure everything out.

Eyed the grove, you did. Through the grove, you walked.
L
Li Zhui
Yeah... I guess that's how we got here.
?
???
So, why then, does the bamboo sway?
L
Li Zhui
Well, it...
L
Li Zhui
Turns out the bugs were just affected by a malfunctioning machine.
?
???
Hahahaha...
Chen Qianyu
Hey, what are you trying to do, dear lady?
Chen Qianyu
Why ... treadeth thou ... on Talos-II?
H
Hong Ni
Ha! Why else? Because we were born here, raised here. This dirt's in our bones!
L
Li Zhui
W-wait! No, that's wrong! Since I was a child, I've been taught that Terra is our home! We're not like these grovenymphs... We're outsiders here... Talos-II was never ours to begin with...
?
???
Bamboo stays bamboo, man stays man, the worm just worms. All is as it began.
?
???
Terrans! Once they performed the exact same trials of wave frequencies! 'Twas burdenbeast behavior they seek to elucidate.
?
???
Burdenbeasts and grovenymphs are vastly different species. However! They responded remarkably similar when influenced by waves of certain frequencies.
