Pioneer 2 city

Scientist 1
Have you read the latest research notes about Ragol? These strange mechanical enemies appeared in No Man's Mines. We are assuming that Pioneer 1 did some studies in there. After that explosion, the area unexpectedly started working again. So, here's your job. Go and find Dr. Osto's documents. If our assumption is correct, he must have left his research data. Use this disk when you find his computer.

Dr. Osto was renowned for his work in electricity and genetics. He and Dr. Montague are two of the greatest scientists in the world. Dr. Osto was sent to Ragol by the council.
Scientist 3
What? All data regarding Dr. Osto was deleted from Pioneer 2! What was he doing on Ragol? Everything is a mystery...

It's a real pain guarding Dr. Montague. He's a doctor, but he's still very young.
Montague (if you don't know him)
!!! Where is Elenor? I haven't finished her maintenance yet... It seems that her emotional range is just a wee bit too wide. I want to try a few more patterns for her.
Montague (if you know him)
!!! Hello, [NAME], long time no see. Elenor wanted to see you again. Oh, yes! Did I tell you about the weapon? It's completed! Ha, ha, ha. I am quite confident of its quality! I can make you one if you bring me some materials. You can find the materials in the mines or in the ruins. Ha, ha, ha...
Montague (if you know him and have some material)
!!! ...... Hey, you have some very good quality material! I'll make a weapon for you with that material. Stay here. [screen goes black for a moment] ...! Sorry to make you wait. But take a look at this. Weapons are made using compressed Photon energy technology. This was made using the same procedure, but with another energy source. This Photon energy was drawn from the monsters living underground. Disturbing? Not at all! Ha, ha, ha. Got [ITEM] !

Montague (if have let him make a weapon previously and don't have material)
!!! ha, ha, ha... Do you like the weapon I gave to you recently? [press A] I can make you one if you bring me some materials. You can find the materials in the mines or in the ruins. Ha, ha, ha...

Mine 2

Approach Tonzlar.

Tonzlar
Sorry. I was ordered to kill anybody who came over here...

Tonzlar attacks you.

Defeat Tonzlar.

Tonzlar
...... You... You'll die if you get too involved.

Tonzlar disappears.

Sue
Aagghh!! You frightened me! Are you a Hunter from Pioneer 2? Are you going to the mine? Me? Well, I'm going there as well! ...... Hey, we need to cooperate, don't we? Right, right. Cooperation. Just until we finish investigating the mines. A great idea, right? It'll be easier for both of us! Let's go!

Sue joins you.

Go out of the room.

Sue
Is this the first time you've been here? It's my first time. Ah, yes. I came here because I took a quest. Same as you.

Approach the broken door.

Sue
Won't open? Is the mechanism broken? ...... Let me take care of it.

The screen fades for a while, then the door opens.

Sue
See? I have the knack.

Later, when walking through a passageway, Sue speaks.

Sue
I'm glad I saw you. I was feeling helpless. I lost sight of my friend. It was so lonely here. I thought I'd never see anyone ever again. By the way, where are you going? ...... I see. It's a secret. OK, I won't ask you.
Gekigasky
Sue...! ...!

Approach the capsules in the room before the computer.

Narrator
There's an item... a development note... OSTO HYLE lab Bio-technology R&D Lead Researcher
Computer 1
Main Computer... Access denied. Sub-computer... ...Accessed. Searching OSTO HYLE.. ... hit 1 item. Code required.

Use the disk.

Computer 1
...... Accepted. Starting transfer... ...Facility data... ...Beta772 process... ...Excavation Notes... ...Beta772 overrun data. Data transfer done.

The screen fades for a while. When it brightens again, you're facing Sue.

Sue
...... Wow, you're very good with computers... That's surprising! Are you searching for Dr. Osto's report? Me too. I came down here to get his information. Are you...? ...... No, nothing... Anyway, we have the same objective. Let's help each other. Let me copy that data. Is that a problem?

The screen fades for a while.

Cancel.

Computer 1
Cancelled. ......
Computer 2
...... It seems to be broken.

Leave the room.

Sue
OK... My job is done. But I want to see if I can find any other records. And I have to find my friend. It's time to say good-bye. See you. ...... I don't know your name. Will you tell me?

Sure.

Sue
[NAME]... My name's Sue. It was fun working with you.

No, sorry...

Sue
Oh yeah? Hmm, OK then. I think it's an appropriate choice.

The dialogue continues with the following, regardless of your choice.

Sue
See you later!

Sue leaves you, and a telepipe appears.

Gekigasky
You... You better forget about what you saw today...

Pioneer 2 city

Scientist 3
I can't believe this! You say you saw strange men in the mines? What can we extract from this data!?
Scientist 2
Anyway, it's great to know that you found his data! We'll study it!
Scientist 1
Excellent! Are they Dr. Osto's files!? Perhaps we can find out what happened on Ragol by examining them. Thank you very much. Visit the Guild counter to receive your Meseta.
