Ruin Smugglers

Guard: Welcome. Chief Red is waiting for you. Please report to him.
Red: Good work on that last mission. Thanks to your help, we secured some data on Via Tubus. I'll have the data analyzed later. Well, I'd say that's enough warm-up for you... You're a talented person. I think I can rely on your abilities. With you here, we can fight on an even playing field with them. ...... I suppose I can tell you now, then. The great mission of all of us in the Arkz is to halt the autocratic development of Ragol by the government. ...To carry this out, we are taking steps in many different areas... However, we also have one important objective on our hands. That objective is to find the core material in C.A.R.D. Technology. Of course, the government is also trying to find it. This material could turn the tide of the battle. All I can say for now is that it's still under investigation, but as a commander, I thought it best to let you know about it. This is high-level info we're dealing with, so don't let it leak out. I'll let everyone else in on this once the time is right. I told you first because I trust you. Please keep this matter a secret. We'll need to keep up our info-gathering runs for a while, so be careful. Anyway, on to this mission... A fossil site in Unguis has reportedly been ransacked. We don't know who's behind this yet. Rumor has it that fossils are being sold on Pioneer 2's black market now. Hunt down whoever's infiltrating Unguis, and find out what's going on!

Red: A fossil site in Unguis has reportedly been ransacked. Rumor has it that fossils are being sold on Pioneer 2's black market now. Hunt down whoever's infiltrating the site, and find out what's going on!

Vice Chief: Your next mission takes place near a fossil site on Unguis. Thanks for handling this mission for us.

Break: ...... ...... Should I leave her alone? No... I've got to meet her. I've got to see her, talk to her...; ...... ?! Oh, uh, it's you... Hey... Didn't Red tell you about a job on Unguis or somewhere like that? Let me go out on that one... I've got to go there...; ...... ...No, forget about it. It's nothing. I don't have the time to explain everything to you. Every person has their own issues. You understand that, right?

Lura: Don't you think Break is really cool? He's kinda blunt, and he hides a lot from you, but when he's around me, and only when he's around me, it's like he's a totally different person! Tee-hee. Tee-hee-hee. Tee-hee-hee-hee!; There's something about that gap in his personality... It sets off my Rudimentary Maiden's Heart system... The program code is pretty simple, though, so every time it goes off, I go, like, Boing! Boing!; You see, that's why I'm looking for a heart unit to install in myself. If I had one, it would be able to respond to all sorts of things. Like, if the sky is nice, it's clear out, or there's a gentle breeze, my heart unit could respond to all of those things, and make me feel more realistic emotions. ...... It would be so so amazing! I sure wish I had a heart unit!

Endu: Yo! Commander, I'd like to ask you... What do you think it means to "fight?" Do you fight because there's nothing else you can do in your position? Is that it? ...... Sorry. I guess that kind of came out of nowhere. Still, you need to think about these sorts of things sometimes.; What do I think? Well, for me, fighting... is a way to justify why I was born. That's all.; Hey, you don't need to look so gruff like that. I told you before, didn't I? The Arkz are full of guys like us. I'm not trying to get on your case or anything, [NAME]. Heh.

Researcher 1: The Hunters use cards formed from weapons and armor, as you're aware. We Arkz managed to turn creatures into cards instead. It's easier to collect the necessary materials this way, apparently... but I'm sure our stuff's still way stronger than theirs!

Researcher 2: The only reason we're able to analyze creature data like this... is because some past Hunter left behind data from a battle in the memorial hall in the Central Dome ruins.

Robot 1: Sometimes, when we make cards, We come across some card variations. These cards work almost the same as their normal versions, but have much stronger abilities! BEEP BEEP BEEP! You're really lucky if this happens! They're rare! Since they're so strong, we like to call them "Killer Cards!" It'd be neat if you got one sometime! BEEP!

Robot 2: BEEP! The Creature Cards we use can be divided into four different types. These are: Native creatures, A.Beast creatures, Machine creatures, and Dark creatures. BEEP! Putting the right combo of these into your deck makes all the difference. Use too many different types, and the enemy may run all over you. However, there are many cards that only work best with certain types, so it's not a bad strategy to use a mix either. BEEP!

Reseacher next to Entry Room gate: The Entry Counter beyond this door is what you use to send orders.

Mission woman: ...... Oh! Well, speak of the devil! Hold on there! I've just had someone ask me a favor, so I took it with you in mind. Help me out, okay? [press A] She's looking for a special someone, don't you know!!? Tee-hee-hee-hee... ...! Hmm? Oh, dear... Red's already given you an urgent mission, hasn't he? Oh, my such a bother. Oh, well... I'll let Red know about this. But just this once! You'll need to choose between the two jobs. They're both urgent, so you can only do one of them. I'll just whip through the other one by myself! All right?
Game: ...... The quest Love Quest 1 has been added.
Mission woman: ... If I see someone in trouble, I can't leave without trying to help! Oh, it makes me worry all the time! Well, hey, who else will listen to everyone's problems, eh?
