Helpful Crew Mate (Helpful Crew Mate)

Why's everyone in this queue looking so serious and sad?

???

People came here to escape the disaster. It's no surprise they're still shaken up.

???

Oh, excuse me. Mind if you move a little? I need some room.

H

Helpful Crew Mate (Helpful Crew Mate)

Sir, you're pretty big yourself. And you're carrying a huge wok on your back. You're taking up two-and-a-half spaces already.

???

The wok puts food on my table! You'll know how important it is soon enough.

???

Speaking of which, this is a refuge point, right? Why don't they have a proper stove?

H

Helpful Crew Mate (Helpful Crew Mate)

Well, we haven't completed SAR operations in this area. All we have are instant meals and canned food...

???

I know search and rescue operations are important, but that's no excuse to give people terrible food! A delicious and satisfying meal will get your SAR crew mates moving faster, right?

Chen Qianyu

Sir ... you're from Hongshan, aren't you? May I ask your name?

???

A fellow compatriot? Here? Just call me Da Pan!

Da Pan

Of course. The people of Hongshan never compromise on food. Never! Once I build my stove, I'll show you what I've got.

Chen Qianyu

Alrighty! I'm Chen Qianyu and I work at Endfield Industries. This one here is our Endministrator. And that one is Supervisor Perlica.

Da Pan

Endministrator?

Da Pan

Oh, Endfield? I heard of it. The company that got HAS to build a spaceship, right?

Da Pan

I was just passing by Valley IV. I never expected to become trapped at this place.

Da Pan

But I always look on the bright side of life. Got myself a little camp, and turned the accident into a nice vacation.

Chen Qianyu

Wow... You really found the silver lining in these clouds.

Chen Qianyu

Ahem. So, what are your plans?

Da Pan

I got some old friends at the Valley. They might give me a roof over my head. Ever heard of an old owl named Andre?

Chen Qianyu

Andre? You actually know Andre?

Perlica

Mr. Andre should be at the Hub Base. But right now...

Da Pan

Well, no need to go looking for him. I understand. The Valley is a mess and the old owl probably has his hands full.

Da Pan

Noffman? He just returned with his SAR team. They gave the young lad some really difficult responsibilities. He's got plenty of work ahead of him.

Perlica

I hope everything's well with the SAR operations.

Da Pan

I wasn't part of the team so I won't know the details. They found plenty of people, some of them wounded. You got business with Noffman?

Perlica

According to our plans, Endfield will provide assistance in constructing the refuge point.

Da Pan

Oh, Endfield is joining the party? Wonderful! Noffman is just ahead over there!

Radio

Perlica

The UWST seems to be recovering from the disaster. Search and rescue operations are now being carried out.

Perlica

Endmin, we should visit the Infra-Station if we have time. Perhaps we can offer them our assistance.

N

Noffman

We lost contact with three of our crew mates. I didn't want to risk delaying the whole crew ... so I chose not to double back and look for them.

N

Noffman

Most of the injured have been relocated to a safe zone. I think ... there's still a chance.

N

Noffman

So I've decided to head back and look for them. I-I'll do this alone!

C

Calm Crew Mate (Calm Crew Mate)

Calm down... We're no longer getting their positioning signals... Searching for them is just like looking for needles in a haystack.

C

Calm Crew Mate (Calm Crew Mate)

And you're the site monitor. There are plenty of things here that need your attention. We don't have enough beds in the refuge point, and the breakers might attack us any time...

N

Noffman

You're right, but...

N

Noffman

Who are you again...?

Perlica

We're the Endfield Crisis Team. I'm Supervisor Perlica, and this is our Endministrator.

N

Noffman

Endministrator? ...By Talos, you are really here!

Chen Qianyu

And I'm Operator Chen Qianyu! We've received a call from the UWST Security Bureau. That's why we're here to see if there's anything we can help with.

N

Noffman

I'm Noffman, and I'm the temporary site monitor of the Infra-Station. You came at just the right time...

Perlica

We heard something about missing personnel. If you need help, we can assist with the search.

N

Noffman

Of course! You have my trust, Endfielders... Please ... I'm counting on you!

N

Noffman

The last signals from our missing personnel were sent from the cliffs next to the Science Park. Be careful, though. The place is filled with the Blight...

Chen Qianyu

Don't worry. Leave it to us!

N

Noffman

It's all my fault. We couldn't get everyone evacced in the SAR operation.

Radio

C

Confused Crew Mate (Confused Crew Mate)

Noffman's got no SAR experience. Not sure if he's fit to lead the team.

V

Veteran Crew Mate (Veteran Crew Mate)

Shh! Quiet. Something bad probably happened this time.

N

Noffman

I understand... You've already done your best.

N

Noffman

It's all my fault... If I'd slowed down a little, they might have...

N

Noffman

If only I had arranged it better... I should have placed the best veterans at the rear...

Da Pan

Well, making decisions for SAR operations ... can be tough, especially when the situation keeps changing. Hardly anyone can make the perfect call. Don't blame yourself.

Da Pan

Remember the time when we met? You reacted quickly and pulled me to safety. You saved my fat Ursus butt from becoming a pot of Blight stew.

Da Pan

I'm super thankful that I've got some roof over my head. But this place has no vantage. Local Landbreakers aren't very friendly as well. Things might get difficult without a proper watch tower... What do you think, Noffman?

N

Noffman

Yeah... You're absolutely right, Mr. Da Pan. I'll get a crew started on raising that watch tower at once.

Perlica

The AIC Factory might be useful. We can use it to accelerate the construction of the Infra-Station.

N

Noffman

Oh, that would be great! Is there anything I can help you with?

Perlica

We need some open space for deploying our Sub-Protocol Automation-Core.

N

Noffman

Let me think... I believe we have a place like that. Follow me.

N

Noffman

Endmin, you're back.

Radio

Chen Qianyu

What's happening? Why is everyone gathered here...?

Perlica

They seem like refugees from various areas. Perhaps they haven't been assigned to their refuge points. That's why everyone is waiting here.

This is the place that Noffman mentioned... There's Blight everywhere.

Perlica

Endmin, try scanning this place. We might be able to find some clues.

Perlica

This empty med kit ... seems to have been dropped pretty recently, and in a rush.

Chen Qianyu

Try scanning again. Let's see if we can find anything along this direction.

Broken rope? Maybe someone tried getting down from here.

Perlica

We should check it out.

Perlica

Things aren't looking good. Falling behind in a situation like this makes survival a real struggle...

Chen Qianyu

What?! The clues ended here...! How?

Perlica

Let's head back first and talk to Noffman.
