How have you been, Endmin?
C

Would you be able to come by the Reconstruction HQ at the Power Plateau?
C
chr_ardelia
Things have gotten... complicated. After all, no one expected Crowe to appoint those two of all people.
C
chr_ardelia
Your help is definitely needed...

Chen Qianyu
What's going on? What are those two doing?
Ardelia
Oh well... They've been doing this for about an hour.
Chen Qianyu
WHAT?!
Ardelia
The two have different ideas about work regarding the geological probe and the HQ. They've argued about it for days. Sadly, no consensus was reached...
Ardelia
I did my best to talk to them. But as soon as I turned around, they were back at it again...
Perlica
We can't leave this outpost without proper leadership for too long. Endmin, maybe we should ask them what's going on.

Dean
Bugger this... Where did it run off this time?
Chen Qianyu
Here you are. Looking for something?
D
Dean
Ah, Endfielders. Yeah, I'm looking for a long-ear. I would regularly come here to record its activities and get some data.
Perlica
A long-ear...? Endmin, maybe we can help Dean look for the critter.
Perlica
It might convince him to calm down a little and talk to us.
D
Dean
It's usually active around this place, but I don't see it around today.

Dean
Missy! Thank goodness! You're still alive!
D
Dean
Thank you so much. I spent the entire day looking for it and couldn't find anything. I thought it had...
D
Dean
Ugh... We lost too much.
D
Dean
I ... ugh. Who wouldn't care about these little creatures? We've lived with them for so many years...
D
Dean
But we're out of time. The Blight persists, and the impact of the rift might introduce new changes to the environment.
D
Dean
If I could just take them away from this disaster-stricken place ... even just a minute earlier...
D
Dean
I ... I just can't persuade myself.
D
Dean
We lost too much. Respected mentors, fellow crew mates who fought by our side... If we'd known about the dangers and solved the problem beforehand...
D
Dean
I can't forgive myself for being so useless during the disaster. The only thing I can do now is to do as much as possible...
D
Dean
You're right, Endmin.
D
Dean
I shouldn't be getting angry about those stupid arguments. We got a disaster to clean up. Clavell ... he and I aren't truly at odds.
D
Dean
I'll head back and talk things through with Clavell. Thanks a lot for clearing up my head.
Perlica
We didn't do much. You actually agree with his intentions and approach.

Clavell
I remember it being around here...
Perlica
What is it? Did you lose something?
C
Clavell
It's you... Sorry for running away like that back then.
C
Clavell
I thought about it for a while. Perhaps I didn't say it right. Maybe I should think about things from Dean's perspective... He was Site Director Daniels' favorite apprentice before he... Talos rests his soul...
C
Clavell
I'm looking for a box of documents. It contains ... logs and reports of the tests we ran in the past.
Chen Qianyu
Let's help him. Those reports sound important to Clavell.

Story update
To calm Dean for proper communication, everyone agrees to assist in tracking down the long-ear.
Dialogue
C
Clavell
This is it! Phew ... all the reports are still inside.
Chen Qianyu
What are these reports? They sound pretty important.
C
Clavell
Well... They're just research reports about several wildlife populations.
C
Clavell
But Dean ... he's the one who wrote the reports.
Perlica
Dean wrote these reports?
C
Clavell
Yeah. Don't get fooled by his eagerness for deep excavations and Blighted materials... The only problem is his methods. They can be quite extreme at times...
C
Clavell
These reports document the organisms he managed to save ... with his extreme measures... Some of them were on the brink of extinction...
C
Clavell
No, not really. I don't agree with many of his methods... But I must admit that his methods are sometimes rather effective.
C
Clavell
He might get carried away at times, but ... he's never forgotten why he became a scientific researcher in the first place.
C
Clavell
I used to admire that about him. However, situation has changed. His methods will seriously impact the local ecology. I still stand by my views...
C
Clavell
And that is why we got along all these years as fellow researchers.
C
Clavell
I do my best to ensure the stability of the testing environment. But ... I'm also aware that I sometimes lack his adventurous spirit.
C
Clavell
Nevertheless, someone must assess the outcomes of failures and be responsible for cleaning things up. It is my job to consider every step of the process.
C
Clavell
Right now, we should be working toward a consensus that both sides can agree on.
C
Clavell
Thank you for finding these reports for me. Reading through them has convinced me to do just that.
C
Clavell
I'm heading back to talk with Dean. We shouldn't be arguing like this.
Chen Qianyu
Aww. That's more like it.
Perlica
Deep down, these two have always shared the same vision. They probably ignored this fact due to their sudden responsibilities and the stressful work.
Perlica
All they need is an opportunity to come to an agreement. Alright, team. Time to head back.

C
Clavell
Endmin! Supervisor Perlica! Dean and I had a discussion. We got two essential tasks right now — preserving the local wildlife and their habitats, and marking out areas for deep excavations.
D
Dean
But our current HQ isn't big enough to carry out both of these jobs. So we're thinking ... if it's possible to borrow your strength.
D
Dean
If this place gets an efficiency boost, we might be able to make headway in both tasks.
Perlica
That's exactly why we're here. It's also the purpose of the AIC Factory.
Ardelia
Here's a blueprint. It illustrates the plans for expanding the HQ and improving its research efficiency...
C
Clavell
Wait ... Miss Ardelia, did you do this on your own? You're so thoughtful! We really made a fool of ourselves back then... I'm so embarrassed right now.
Ardelia
No, this is the work... Uh... Forget it... Yeah...
Ardelia
And truth be told... There's a lot that I have to learn from the professionals.
Perlica
We will use the AIC Factory to provide assistance and support the expansion of the HQ.

Story update
To help Clavell regain his focus, the team resolves to find his missing box of documents.
Dialogue
C
Clavell
Endmin, you're here? Sorry, I should've arranged to receive you properly.
Perlica
I heard about your disagreements with Dean. Can you tell me the details?
C
Clavell
About that ... yeah...
C
Clavell
The geological probe serves as a surveillance tool, and the results it provides must undergo various testing. This process is essential to addressing the ecological devastation in Valley IV.
C
Clavell
My priority is to safeguard environmental stability by building test plots and artificial habitats. These will help preserve the local flora and fauna.
C
Clavell
But Dean doesn't agree. He insists on running the highly dangerous Blight testing first.
Chen Qianyu
Do the two research projects go against each other?
C
Clavell
Of course! If we push ahead with deep excavation and start Blight-related material research right now, we risk further degrading the local ecology.
C
Clavell
Human changes to the environment might also affect certain wildlife communities. Their survival might be jeopardized.
C
Clavell
Our vision is to restore and protect the ecology. So why are we actively disrupting the only stable environment we have left?
C
Clavell
That's going too far. The risks are off the charts! I won't let this happen! Absolutely not!
Chen Qianyu
Alright. Calm down a bit. We're just trying to get a general picture here.
Perlica
Let's go and ask what the other side thinks.

Story update
With Dean and Clavell finally sitting down for proper dialogue, you return to the Reconstruction HQ to assess progress.
Dialogue
D
Dean
Endmin? When did you arrive? I'll grab a few seats for you...
Perlica
We're good. Actually, we're here to learn more about your recent disagreements...
D
Dean
It's not really a disagreement. I just can't stand Clavell's excessive cautiousness over everything!
D
Dean
We know nothing about the state of Valley IV after the disaster. Our priority is to quickly figure out the properties of the affected materials. Knowledge will help us solve this crisis.
D
Dean
While we hesitate and squander our time away, we miss perfect opportunities to study these materials! And if they start changing in increasingly complex ways, our research will be further delayed!
Chen Qianyu
Yeah, that kinda makes sense.
D
Dean
But Clavell wants to observe and protect the wildlife communities of the Power Plateau first... I hope he realizes just how many lifeforms we're talking about here.
D
Dean
Once we're done rescuing all the critters, I doubt we'll still have the chance to study the anomalous materials.
D
Dean
He should know the importance of timing and opportunity. I guess he's learned nothing after all these years!
Perlica
Take it easy. We're just trying to understand the situation.
Chen Qianyu
Both of them make a lot of sense, you know. But we can't let this carry on...
D
Dean
His logic is only driven by his feelings. He's just a paranoid blight-brain!
C
Clavell
Paranoid? Being properly prepared can cut your losses! You're always rushing and bumbling into things! Do you know how problematic you've been for Professor Crowe?
D
Dean
Oh, now you're trying to bring up Professor Crowe! Well, I hope you didn't forget about the buggerloid who messed up the Professor's last experiment!
C
Clavell
And I'll say it again in your face! I didn't do anything wrong! But you, sir! Your stiff-necked stubbornness to do everything your way is different!
Chen Qianyu
Uh-oh... Can we all just take a deep breath?
Ardelia
Gentlemen! Please! Mr. Crowe didn't make you project leads just to see you argue all day!
C
Clavell
...Hrrr. I'm taking a step back, because our Endfielder friends say so.
D
Dean
Whatever, Mister. I'm not paying any attention to you!
Ardelia
As you can see, Professor... The most I could do is to stop their arguments from getting any worse...
Chen Qianyu
It's okay... You did good...
Perlica
We can't let this go on. Endmin, we should try talking to them.
