Puzzle Solving, Research 3, Save the Rappy

Guard: Mission complete! Chief Red is truly relieved to see you all back safe. He's waiting for your report right now.
Red: You really pulled it off this time, [NAME]. With the data you brought back, I'll have Break carry out a cloning experiment. This is a hybrid experiment combining cloning and cards... Nothing like this has ever been tried before. We don't have the tech or the money to carry out cloning ourselves, but still... If it didn't have to come to this... I would never want to do anything like this... Cloning goes against the principles of the Arkz! However... This is our last hope. We have no choice... I'm sorry... Break. ...... We'll just have to trust in Break on this. If this works out, then we should find out where the "Great Shadow" is. In the meantime, ferret out the secret of Ravum Aedes Sacra! ...According to the information we took from the Morgue, the power it holds is greater than anything we could imagine... We need to investigate more. Go to the area where the ancient weapon appeared, and examine it again. It may contain some clues that aid our strategy.
Game: ...... The quest Puzzle Solving has been added. ...... The quest Research 3 has been added.

Red: ...According to the information we took from the Morgue, the power this weapon holds is greater than anything we know... We need to investigate more. Go to the area where the ancient weapon appeared, and examine it again. It may contain some clues that will aid our strategy.

Vice Chief: Welcome back. I guess the attack went off pretty well. Everyone's back okay, so I'm truly relieved. Anyway, here are the details of your mission. Our true enemy now is an existence known as the "Great Shadow." Its power is seemingly limitless. I want you to examine what the source of this power might be. The location of your research mission is Ravum Aedes Sacra, the place where you fought the ancient weapon. Best of luck.; To be honest... I can't say I really believe this, still. Seeing Red giving the OK for a clone operation... I know how he feels about cloning, and he hates it. Or hated it, anyway.

Break: ...... ...... I can't believe someone was willing to risk his own body just to stop that explosion. I must have underestimated them... ...... I know I'm gonna have regrets either way, but... ...... This is horrible... Why did he have to dive in front of it...? Why...?; ...... And now, the forbidden fruit is in my hands. Everything... Was everything born from this sadness? Is everything going to end with this tragedy? We may find out where it is after it's all said and done... But then... ...... I'll be... with her... ...... How... how can I face her...; ...... [NAME]. I'm going into the lab room for a while. I'm sorry, but you won't be able to deploy me this time. ...... All I want... is to destroy my hated enemy. So why do I have to use the enemy's power... And then... do this...? Why...? She was the one who hated it the most... And now... ...... ...Arrrggh.

Endu: Looks like we're getting close to the core, Commander. If we've made it this far... Then maybe we can forget about looking for Blitz, or whoever he is. Even so, though... Red and the Arkz used to be dead set against cloning... Who would've thought we'd engage in it ourselves? Well, I guess I'm most surprised at Break, but... ...I guess he really did make up his mind back there...; ...... I guess Break and everyone will finish what Colin set out to do. ...... I really wish I could help, but you know we can't do that. ...... I guess there's only one thing we can do, really. ......; Huh...? Oh. Cut the worry, Commander! Heh heh. I guess I'm starting to talk to myself like Break now... Oh, right. This isn't a big deal or anything, but there is one thing that's bothering me. I want to verify it... ...You got some orders from Red earlier, right? Heh heh. Calm down. I know what goes on around here. What orders did he give you? Ah, yes. Could you deploy me to examine that white temple? Oh, quit your yammering. I feel like I'm going go out of my head either way, so... Anyway, I'd really appreciate it, Commander!

Rufina: Oogh... I just couldn't take it. That atmosphere... That smell... And the sounds... ...I didn't like it at all. The Morgue, I mean. The Morgue. ...... It made me remember. Ooooh... Back to the time... when I... was still... a lab animal.; Oh... Didn't Red ever tell you about that? Before him... before Break saved me, I was a guinea pig for the government as part of their research into clone weapons. I'm glad that it was the C.A.R.D. Research Lab we were breaking into. If I had to fight against my own clones, then I don't know what I would've done.; I don't need your sympathy or anything, Commander. Everyone in the Arkz has pain like that to deal with. Even Red's daughters are the same way... But, to be honest, my eye... my body... the body they messed around with... It aches every night. I can hear my sisters whispering at me from somewhere... They're saying "Kill us, kill us..." ...... Ahh heh heh. I'm just joking. Joking!

Memoru: At the Morgue... my eyes met with Vivi's. I think Vivi wanted to say something to me. Maybe she was trying to apologize. I guess I kinda want to... make up, too. I just don't know what to think anymore... Sorry, Master Saligun... ...! Co, Commander! When did you come here?! That's very rude, you know! You could've at least said hello or something! Did, did you hear that? ...Hah! If you didn't hear it, then I don't have to tell you.; *Sigh* It's too bad I couldn't beat the stuffing out of Vivi... But it wasn't my fault. My mission took top priority.

Reiz: The burning Morgue. The echoing groans of death. It was just like that time before... Just like it was in Lupus Silva. ...... But I'm not going to turn my back anymore. That's what I resolved to do with him...; Commander... Ohgun came up to me... and he said something. He said, "The world's full of sad things." "But still..." "I'm gonna keep on trying to make the world..." "...the way I want it to be." And then he said, "If I make this world a happier place..." "Will it make you feel better, Reiz?" "I liked you the way you were before, Reiz..." ......; He should be the saddest one of all here... ...... That's what made me decide to do this. You just watch, Commander. I'm not going to be tied down by the past any longer. The battles ahead will be decided through our own pure will. I think I can walk forward to the future with him next to me...

Ohgun: [NAME]. ...... Listen. I wanna ask you something. ...... I want you to take me to Tener Sinus. There's a rappy there, and she's hurt. I want to help her out.
Game: ...... The quest Save the Rappy has been added.

Ohgun: I read about it on Net 5. It said that there's an injured rappy in Tener Sinus. She got caught up in a battle between some other people. If nobody helps her, she'll become weak and die. We're the ones that started this battle... We shouldn't be hurting other living things, too, right?; I was thinking. ...... It's not good enough to just wish... ...for peace all over the world. ...... That's why I decided. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna keep on trying until the world's a better place... A little more like how I'd like it to be. I swore I'd do it. Reiz is in this with me.

Quest:

Puzzle Solving Dispatch from Red

Mission:

I need more data on the enemy that you fought when you were at the white temple in the mist, so you need to go again.You'll face the same kind of force as before. I also heard rumors that the government is investigating the area as well. You will run into the Hunters, so take all the necessary precautions.

Pre-mission message:

We've decided to give the name "Leukon Knight" to the enemy we fought at the misty white temple. So it seems that this Leukon Knight became active when we intruded into the area, but we currently have no further information about it.

Pre-battle lines:

Rio: Heh heh... I am glad that you showed up just to get killed!
