Chen Qianyu
Wassup, Daniel! You don't look happy.
D
Daniel
This place isn't safe and I need more muscle on patrols. I couldn't put a serious crew together.
D
Daniel
Soth keeps telling me how he's got nobody to spare and how we should avoid risks... But I'm worried that trouble will come looking for us.
Chen Qianyu
Yeah, we do have Landbreakers prowling near this place. Found anything suspicious?
D
Daniel
A few footprints and pieces of bone that someone gnawed on. And the smell! Gah! I really think...
D
Dewey
HEY! DANIEL! We got an emergency!
D
Dewey
Them friggin' LBs are here! A mob of 'em! They are definitely up to no good!
D
Daniel
WHAT?! So soon?! Quick! Take the people and hide!
Chen Qianyu
We can't let those LBs get any closer! Take us to the battle!

Soth
You alright?! Are you hurt?
D
Daniel
Damn! We chased off those pipefaces before, and now they're pulling this sneaky trick on us!
D
Daniel
Soth, if we got no other solutions in mind, I'm heading out to lay a few traps. I won't die holed up in a cave.
D
Daniel
It's not the same! I'm ex-military! I may have been discharged, but I won't sit on my hands while these blighted raiders mess up my place!
S
Soth
I know how you feel ... Daniel. I know. I've seen all the hard work you've put in to everything here.
S
Soth
Everyone knows how important you are. That's why we can't afford to let you handle the toughest jobs alone.
D
Daniel
...Ugh. Alright. Fine. You're right.
Chen Qianyu
But we can't let this go on forever. Oh, what about those Gun Towers we constructed last time? Can we use them?
S
Soth
Those are stationary defense facilities. The LBs are getting smart, and I don't think we can get enough towers to handle every situation.
Chen Qianyu
Oh yeah, we got our flashy Techno-Protocol! If we know where the enemy is coming from, we can just re-arrange our defenses!
Perlica
Hmm... All protocol facilities are furnished with basic sensors and datalinks. Real-time processing of signal feeds from facilities in the whole area ... should give us the early warning we need.
Perlica
We will place an early warning terminal here. It will monitor the surroundings for a potential attack, and help us organize our defenses.
D
Daniel
Indeed. Those facilities offer plenty of support fire. They can hold off an entire attack route if we're spread too thin...
Chen Qianyu
Hey, come to think of it, this approach sounds pretty promising.
Radio
Perlica
The system is running smoothly. Its automatic defenses will help fight back small-scale attacks.
Perlica
We can verify the system just to be on the safe side.

Your team defeats the Landbreakers. Talk to Daniel and figure out a more permanent raider-proof solution.
Dialogue
Perlica
The early warning terminal seems to be working well. If threat level exceeds the scope of the auto-defense mode, we'll be back here and offer our support in the defense operations.
D
Daniel
By Talos... We can definitely use this tech at a lot of places!
Perlica
Unfortunately, many of the technologies in this system aren't ready for large-scale deployment yet.
Perlica
But since we have the Sub-PAC, we can at least deploy these to support our defenses at several locations.
D
Daniel
Yeah. But this places us further in your debt... We can hardly offer any help. It's such a shame.
Perlica
Indeed. Self-sufficiency is important, but forcing people to take on impossible challenges will defeat the entire purpose.
D
Daniel
...Words of true wisdom. You're right. Hah. Leave the maintenance of the early warning terminal to us. We can definitely handle a job like that.
Chen Qianyu
I can totally visit the camp and teach everyone some self-defense skills.
Chen Qianyu
And before peace returns, we'll help you handle the local threats and hazards!
Radio
Chen Qianyu
You know, I just saw Daniel and he's got this serious look on his face.
Chen Qianyu
That frown looks like an LB just stole his bed. Maybe we should talk to him.

Story update
The Refugee Camp needs better warning and defense systems to help the residents protect themselves against various threats. Set up the Early Warning Terminal and complete one [Operator Intervention] in Area Defense.
Dialogue
Perlica
Support module testing complete... Hmm. This should work.
Chen Qianyu
These things are awesome! Just place them at the right places, and they'll help a small team like ours take down entire enemy mobs!
D
Daniel
So what should we do if the enemy attacks when you're not around? Our community doesn't have enough fighters.
Perlica
Be rest assured. Once properly deployed, the combat facilities will work automatically. They can handle decent-sized enemy forces in our absence.
Perlica
The early warning terminal can evaluate the local threat level... An actual demonstration will better explain how it works. Let us begin.
