Cave

Pioneer 2 city

Red soldier: The Principal is waiting for you. You may enter his room.

Blue soldier: We'll check all the data you send, but you still need to report to him.

Principal's Room

Tyrell: The... The Dragon, did it attack you!? You think the native animals attacked Pioneer 1 to defend their territory... It's possible... But why did it happen all of a sudden? Continue investigating please.; Rico...! No, I didn't say anything. Please continue your research.

Irene: I heard that you found messages from Rico. But she's still missing. Please, please find her as soon as you possibly can! Please!

Scientist at desk: A huge dragon!? No data. Pioneer 1 didn't mention it in their report... We didn't know that Ragol was such a dangerous planet!; As a scientist, I'm very interested in the ecological system of Ragol... But as a citizen, I'm frightened.

Pioneer 2 city

Scientist: Nobody on Pioneer 1 was found on the surface? Perhaps they're taking refuge somewhere... Or...? No, no! It can't be.

Man in orange: Did you know? I heard that somebody was sent to do some research on Ragol and that they finally... found a message from Red Ring Rico!! She must be alive, she must! Don't you think so?

Woman close to teleporter to Principal's Room: The government hasn't made an official statement! Why!?

Man close to Medical Center: If I wear a red armlet, maybe I'll have the same courage ...as Rico. I know, it's a silly idea. Ha, ha.

Woman close to Hunter's Guild: Regardless of the problem, most of our troubles are taken care of by hunters. Cases that need an army rarely occur. Pioneer 2 doesn't have a big army, so sometimes hunters handle the big cases. Hunters work together when given this opportunity, though they prefer working alone.

Red soldier: People in this area have no sense of this crisis at all! This immigration plan is the key to our future!! I don't trust hunters. They treat their jobs like... as if they were going shopping.

Blue soldier: Do we always need to look sad or serious when we're in trouble? Even when you're in a lot of trouble, remain calm. I like it. It makes you seem professional. It's very cool.

Nurse in Medical Center: Busy, busy! Why're we getting so many injured people these days? Why? What happened?

Cave, Rico's messages

Wow... this cave is a treasure trove of discoveries. Creatures that have never been seen by people. Completely unknown animals. They look like mutant forms of the native animals... Perhaps the government has kept this a secret...? It's possible... but for what purpose?
Be careful of the Poison Lily's toxic spit.
If you hear an alert, be careful! There must be land mines around you. You can detect them if you use the Trap Vision.
The Nano Dragon is a fierce monster. It becomes stronger as it kills others. I suggest you defeat it as quickly as possible.
Evil Sharks attack in obvious straight movement patterns. Don't get surrounded.
The attack range of the Grass Assassin is wide. Move quickly to enter its blind spot!
Pofuilly Slime tends to attack at close range. That's not good for Rangers and Forces. Be careful.
You may find yourself trapped by a parasite mine in the ground. To free yourself, ask someone to hit you with a technique or a gun.
I know that Pioneer 1 had some strange aspects to it. In the data that I procured, the consumption rate was much higher than the population... Perhaps there were a lot of non-registered citizens onboard. Why? What was their purpose?
I never imagined that a trap would look like a switch! How devious!
My first question about Ragol was, "Why didn't any sentient life exist here?" But... look at this monument! This is identical to the one I saw in the forest! It's NOT ours though... Was there an ancient civilization on Ragol? But these monuments are the only evidence I see... It'd be strange if there was a civilization, indeed... Can I decipher the characters with my simple tools?
Ah, the characters on the monument... I don't have any idea how to proceed. I need more samples.
Pan Arms are a little tricky. They get stronger when they combine. But they're really quick when separated. Don't panic, OK?
I've got such mixed emotions... I'm scared, but excited, inspired even! Should I act as a scientist now? Or should I act as a hunter who is facing unknown enemies? I feel like someone's herding me somewhere... but where? To the underground... I feel like I'm being invited.
I saw it with my own eyes. An animal metamorphosed when it was pierced by a tentacle from that giant worm. Were the monsters I saw in the cave all changed by that giant worm?

[Principal's Room, during Cave]

Scientist at desk: Hmmmmm... This is unbelievable! The creatures you're reporting on now are completely unknown. There is no data on them. I don't believe Pioneer 1 could have done such a terrible job...

Scientist: I read your report. The general environment of Ragol is agreeable to us... but its ecological system... It's not enough. That's all.
