Guardian 3, Tough Partner

Guard near entrance
Welcome home, [NAME]. You must have fought a pretty intense battle. We're all glad to see you're still safe. The Chief called for you, so please give him your full report.

...... ...... Mmmm. Finding the Arkz at that temple area was a major surprise! There's got to be a leak somewhere. Someone must be handing over our top-secret info to the Arkz. If I can fish the guy out, I could earn the Principal's seat! Gah hah hah! Well, anyway, I think there still might be some secrets left in that white temple. Maybe there's a hidden corridor leading to the Great Shadow... Hey, you never know, okay? So let's try another search! I want you to go turn Ravum Aedes Sacra upside down!

Hello, [NAME]. I'll brief you on your mission. We have another request to escort a team into Ravum Aedes Sacra. Rumor has it that the temple was left behind by an ancient people. What in the world could that ancient race have needed those weapons for, I wonder? ...[NAME], do you believe that rumor? You know the one I mean. That "something" awoke and caused that explosion, the one that destroyed Pioneer 1... ...... You remember how there was a rumor about a second explosion a little while after the first one, right? I was still a child back then, but I remember it. There wasn't that much damage, though. A few people lost their mags, but that was about it. Everyone forgot about it pretty quickly. ...Except that the number of creatures on Ragol started to dwindle. You don't think that was really related, do you... ...... No. Forget about it. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be talking about stuff unrelated to your mission. Anyway, go to Ravum Aedes Sacra and keep the research team safe. I hope you find out more about that ancient weapon...

Are the ruin excavations getting anywhere? I hope they manage to obtain some answers for the ruins mystery... I'm also wondering why the Arkz were there. There hasn't been any more weapons since the first time I was there... Was that the last one, you think? It's all so mysterious.
Well, riddles were made to be figured out, I guess. I mean, there's only one real truth, after all. Keep on plugging at it, and you can figure out anything eventually. Until that day comes, We'll just have to keep on guessing at what's going on.
...Speaking of which, Ino'lis has been acting a little weird lately. It's like she's brooding over something... I talked to her a little, but she didn't respond to me very much. Have you heard anything about her or from her, [NAME]?
Ino'lis
Kranz hasn't been paying attention to anyone except Kylria lately. Before, he told me that I was so important to him... Now, all he cares about is Kylria... I know she's loving it, too. I can see her dart her eyes at me, that stupid girl. Taking another girl's man like that... I'm gonna get her! What should I do, though...?
Kranz used to help me out all the time back when we were young. He may not look it, but he has a very strong sense of justice. He couldn't bear to see me just sit there and cry... And now someone's taken that man away from me... I don't know what's going on anymore... What should I do?
I want to be with Kranz. I don't want to be away from him. Please, Commander. I don't know what's going to happen... What should I do to get him to look at me? How can I get him to... ...... I have to get his attention somehow... ...!! Hmm, now THAT ought to work...
Teifu
Lady Viviana!!! [NAME]! Oh, this is terrible! Just terrible! She went into Lupus Silva all by herself... ...and still hasn't come back yet! The mere thought of something happening to Lady Viviana is enough to make me weak at the knees... Miss Stella cheerfully agreed to help me search for her, so we went into the forest together... But Miss Stella ended up in a battle with the Arkz herself! Ahhh, now I've even caused misfortune to Miss Stella! Oh my! What on earth can I do now...? ...... Argh! Arrgh! Arrrrrgh!! All right, I understand... That's the only thing I can do... [NAME]! I've made up my mind! I, the humble Teifu, will bring Lady Viviana back from the forest! Please, deploy me to Lupus Silva!

I was the sole reason why Lady Viviana went to Lupus Silva by herself. If I had not gone so far in my actions, she would not have gotten so angry at me. If only I had let her hang me from a pole as always... ...... I heard Lady Viviana was going down to Ragol, so I... I freed myself from the rope she hung me with... ...and I chased after her. I must have hurt her pride terribly, freeing myself from her bonds like that... Lady Viviana stubbornly insisted on going by herself, and she tied me down more tightly than ever before to keep me immobile. That, I'm afraid, is the whole story. All of it was my own fault... I must leave immediately! It is the only thing I can do!
Please! I beg of you, Commander! Please deploy me to Lupus Silva! Lady Viviana!! *sniff*

BEEP! Master Guykild told me to go buy a card. He didn't tell me why. I heard you could earn some Meseta participating in the tournaments. BEEP! But I don't have any money at all, so I just gave him a card I picked up off the street earlier. I heard they sell cards over at Pinz's Shop. BEEP! But there isn't one around here... ...This was such a futile mission. BEEP!
...It all seems so futile. BEEP! We're all machines. We just look a little different... Why can't we get along together? It's futile. BEEP!
Glustar
Whew... That Stella just doesn't know when to let up. Huh? Oh, hey, boss. Mmm? What's up with Stella? Oh, don't worry. It's nothing big. We just had a little squabble. She didn't want me going out on any missions anymore. She's still all worked up over the little mistake I made a while back. ...... Well... of course, her gentleness is what makes her so cute, but...
You know her story...? She was taken in by a facility as an orphan. Well... more like she was thrown out, actually. She's a defective battle humanoid. She'll never be fully functional. Plus, this facility was a pretty awful place. There, she was not treated very well. It'd be weird if you didn't go a little nuts in there. Still, there was one decent guy in that whole place. That was her teacher. She really looked up to that teacher. And now... She's made it this far. Even though she's a defective humanoid.
I played around a lot before I met her. I went through money like water... ...But after meeting Stella, I found something that I wanted to achieve... a goal... Yep. I still want to do it now, even. But first, I need Meseta. If I have Meseta, then I can do anything... ...and I'll do anything to get the money. Even if she stops me...
Quest:
Guardian 3 From: Government
Mission:
The white temple ruins still hold many secrets. Our last investigation had led to a rather startling find. We want to go back and confirm our results, so we'd like to ask for your protection once again.
Pre-battle line:
Creinu: Are you an escort? Are you OK all by yourself?
Post-mission message:
With this, we can now form a hypothesis! We believe these ruins served as a storage and "hibernation" area for the guardians. This guardian is only one of many mass-produced weapons created to seal away an ancient threat. It must've mistaken us for an old enemy, but it looks like only this one managed to reactiviate itself. At any rate, thanks again! Researcher Lagnet
Quest:
Tough Partner From: Teifu
Mission:
I-I lost contact with Lady Viviana, so I had Ms. Stella assist me in searching for her! But now it seems that Ms. Stella is caught up in battle with the Arkz! Please, we must hurry to her rescue and then find Lady Viviana!
Pre-mission message:
Lady Viviana told me she was going to Lupus Silva alone, but since then, I haven't heard from her at all! That really worries me. Ms. Stella agreed to help search for her, but then Ms. Stella sent a message saying that she herself was caught in a battle with the Arkz! I must go to her aid. Please, let me go! Teifu
Pre-battle lines:
  1. Stella: Where's Viviana, nyah!?
  2. Reiz: She's safe... but we won't return her without a deal...
Post-mission message:
Oh, I'm so delighted! Lady Viviana has returned safely! I was so worried. Commander, you were simply amazing! I've always trusted you from the bottom of my heart, but you were even more magnificent than I had imagined! I'm deeply moved. Your humble servant, Teifu.
