Master Da Pan's place got wrecked when the breakers attacked us. We're still cleaning up the mess...
Chen Qianyu
Has anyone seen Noffman?
H
Helpful Crew Mate (Helpful Crew Mate)
No... We're also looking for him.
V
Veteran Crew Mate (Veteran Crew Mate)
I don't know what's going on with him. He said he'd be installing some "serious hardware" on the tower. When will he get started on that?
Perlica
Can you share details about the situation?

Master Da Pan, do you know where Noffman is? The new batch of supplies just arrived, and I'm holding for his sign-off.
Da Pan
I'll sign it. Give me a sec. I'll be right there.

The refuge point just got attacked by Landbreakers. Why isn't he at his post?
Da Pan
I'm looking for him too. The refuge point's still a mess after the battle. He's probably tied up with something urgent.

Endmin? Everyone... You're all here...
N
Noffman
I received reports of a few Landbreakers equipped with UWST gear. I thought...
N
Noffman
I thought ... there might be a chance. A slim chance ... that they're still...
N
Noffman
But we found nothing. The entire SAR crew ran through the place. Some of us even got wounded...
N
Noffman
Thank you... Well, at least this wasn't a wasted trip.
Da Pan
Noffman, you alright...? Finally found you. Looks like the whole team's here — that's a relief.
Da Pan
Were you the ones fighting the Landbreakers before the Endmin arrived? Nicely done!
N
Noffman
...Thank you, Mr. Da Pan, but...
N
Noffman
With so many casualties, moving quickly isn't possible. But their injuries need immediate care. We must head back at once!
Chen Qianyu
Hey! If we look that way, we can see the Infra-Station!
Da Pan
Yes, there's a big chasm in between, but the direct distance isn't actually that far.
Da Pan
I remember you Endfielders got this ... facility that lets you "SWOOSH" your way across in the mid-air, right?
Chen Qianyu
Are you talking about ziplines...?
Da Pan
Yeah! That's it! Of course! Should we give that a shot?
Da Pan
Alright, sounds good! I'll go check on the injured while you handle that — fingers crossed it's nothing more than scratches.
N
Noffman
These facilities... They look really different compared to UWST machinery.
Chen Qianyu
They look pretty delicate, right? Appearance can be deceiving. Endfield hardware is built to last.
Perlica
The facilities are in place. Let's start moving the injured.

Story update
The refuge point came under attack by the Landbreakers, leaving chaos in their wake. To steady the faltering morale, the Endministrator resolved to make for the Infra-Station.

Noffman
I ... dammit! I'm a blasted fool! A blightbrained good-for-nothing!
N
Noffman
If I break this... I ... I'll never find them... And those Landbreakers are still around...
N
Noffman
Blightery! Stop the fire! Stop burning already! BY TALOS, STOP!
Da Pan
Disengage the connector at the bottom.
N
Noffman
Wha... WHAT?!
Da Pan
If I were you, I would start by disengaging the bottom connector.
N
Noffman
But these three supporting Arts Units are obviously overheating...
Da Pan
You already have control of the circuit of the main Arts Unit. The bottom-most unit is used to modulate the output fluctuations of the other two.
N
Noffman
It's true... But we're out of time. The thing is smoking already. And the heat...
Da Pan
Slowly. Steady your hands and avoid touching the other Arts Units. You don't want to cause interfering shorts between the circuits.
Da Pan
That's right. Slowly. No need to panic. Keep the cool.
N
Noffman
I ... I really dismantled it! Mr. Da Pan, look! Only the support unit burned out! The main Arts Unit is still intact!
N
Noffman
I can still use this... It's a perfect fit for the blueprints I'm working on!
Da Pan
Don't celebrate just yet. We only dismantled a third of this piece of hardware... The two support Arts Units have become unstable!
Da Pan
I'll get it fixed! We need someone to keep their eyes on the thermostat. Temperature must be stable during repairs, or this whole thing will burn itself into slag.
Da Pan
This will be muscle work. Noffman won't be able to pull this off on his own...
Da Pan
Okay! Do anything you can to keep the temperature stable.
Da Pan
AH! Dammit!
N
Noffman
Mr. Da Pan...! Are you alright?
Da Pan
Gah, I got slow and clumsy... QUICK! We can't leave this half done!
N
Noffman
No! That's too dangerous! We can't risk your life for this!
N
Noffman
I'll dismantle the last unit! I've studied your moves. I got it all down in my mind.
Da Pan
Okay, young buddy... Okay!
Radio
Chen Qianyu
Such a big mess... I thought they said they were doing well?
Perlica
Let's find out what's happening in the Infra-Station.
Da Pan
Don't overdo it! Keep the temperature within the working range.

Da Pan
Let me have a look at it!
Da Pan
Perfect! Totally usable! Keep it safe. We still have to mount it on the signal tower!
N
Noffman
By the way, Mr. Da Pan... How did you, with just one glance, figure out...
Da Pan
HAHA! I actually wasn't so sure back then.
N
Noffman
Wha?
Da Pan
I haven't handled UWST machines for quite a while... But Originium base stations are rather similar to each other. Experience, boy. It's the experience talking.
Da Pan
Also, you already dismantled half of it when we got here. I just took my chances and gave you my best advice.
N
Noffman
Whatever you say... You made this all happen. I wouldn't have done it alone.
N
Noffman
Mr. Da Pan, you're not just an ordinary chef, right...?
Da Pan
Oh, come on. Of course I'm an ordinary chef! A poor, sad chef stranded in Valley IV.
Da Pan
Let's go. Everyone's waiting for you.
Da Pan
Just flesh wounds and scratches. They'll heal with two proper meals! Technical work, you know. You get clumsy without practice!
N
Noffman
I DID IT! I DISMANTLED IT!
Radio
Perlica
Judging from these notes ... this seems to be the contraption that Noffman wants to install on the watch tower.
Chen Qianyu
Let's go and ask Uncle Pan.
Da Pan
The work is quite technical, eh?

Everything is prepped according to your specifications. We reinforced the base and cleared the site. Now is the time for the final step.

Master Da Pan and Endministrator...? You're here. Where were you...? By Talos, you got injured!
Da Pan
We just dismantled a few Arts Units. Here they are. A full suite. Let's get things rolling, crew!

Helpful Crew Mate (Helpful Crew Mate)
Dismantled a few Arts Units? You mean the ones at the old base station?

That thing has the worst circuitry ever! Four Arts Units wound up in an interlocking mess! No mortal can ever hope to untangle that nest of chaos...

Hey, take a look at who's leading the team! It's the Endmin! The legend has seen the most complicated Originium machinery there is...
V

Well, Endmin, you're being too humble! Everyone knows what you did!
Da Pan
Actually, young Noffman did most of the heavy lifting. While we were working on the repairs, he was...
V
Veteran Crew Mate (Veteran Crew Mate)
Don't you worry, Brother Da Pan! The crew knows how hardworking Noffman is. We United Workers are a fair and reasonable lot.
Da Pan
Ah, no, I wasn't being humble.

Helpful Crew Mate (Helpful Crew Mate)
Alright, alright. Go and take a break, Master Da Pan! Endfielders, have dinner with us! We got some hearty fillets and no one's leaving till they're stuffed!

Noffman! You're back! Everyone's waiting for you to hand out the work orders!

Da Pan
Endmin? You're a rare sight indeed. Come on in. Have a seat and rest your legs.
Da Pan
Keen eyes, Endmin. But that's a long, long time ago. Now I make food for a living.
Da Pan
When I passed by this place, I wanted to find some UWST buddies and talk about the good old times. I know Noffman's boss, but they've assigned him to somewhere else...
Da Pan
Getting back to business, Noffman is young for his job, but he's shouldered the burden well. The lad has got the knack.
Da Pan
Things are winding down at the refuge point. He's probably busy with something else.
Da Pan
The boy had a hard time getting things to work. And he probably earned his stripes and plenty of experience.
Da Pan
Alrighty! I'll give you a pot of freshly brewed tea for your next visit.
Radio
Da Pan
This step is crucial. We'll need more precise temperature controls...
Da Pan
UW machines are great, but they really need easier and lighter controls! Nothing's changed over the years!

Chen Qianyu
Uncle Pan, we found out that Noffman is still trying to track down the missing crew mates. Did he just ... go?
Da Pan
Impossible! That boy still got sense! Given our current situation, he wouldn't be starting another wild chase.
Perlica
The crew mates say that you're preparing to install some hardware on the watch tower. Is there anything we can help with?
Chen Qianyu
We can definitely help, Uncle Pan! Ask away!
Da Pan
Let me think... Chen, can you help the crew with the muscle work?
Da Pan
As for Supervisor Perlica ... can you help monitor the AIC Factory? The crew mates are used to their UWST machinery ... and tend to apply excessive force when operating machines.
Perlica
No problem. Endmin, we'll be right back.
Da Pan
The UWST crew is a reliable lot and works extra hard. This major undertaking got off to a fast start, and we've already made strong progress.
Da Pan
Ah yes, it's what we mentioned last time. We plan to mount a signal receiver on the watch tower...
Da Pan
AIYAH! I know where he went!
Da Pan
Noffman wants to salvage an Arts Unit from the old base station, and convert it into a signal receiver.
Da Pan
That's right! However, the refuge point has no one to spare, and we cannot afford any more delays. Noffman probably ran off to the Control Center on his own! He's got the keys to that place!
Da Pan
Endmin! We better head over and check things out. That thing isn't so easy to dismantle. We gotta give him a hand.
Da Pan
Oho. You're all here.
