Q70602 ??? undefined

You’re pretty good at what you do, aren’t you?

I thought Stellain would be disappointed by how you let Vishaka get away, but they were just impressed with how you’d destroyed the Regatus headquarters.

They were pleased that striking the hidden base led to a cut in costs. So, well done, I suppose.

“I suppose.”

Stellin is the future. Winning their favor is all that matters. We wouldn’t be able carry out our operations in this foreign land if we didn’t have Stellin’s support.

How great would it be if we stayed on their good side and got huge promotions? Ahem....

On that note, go speak with Stellin Headquarters Employee [%dic:STR_DIC_N_LDF8_Shulack_Stellaky_E]. There’s a new mission waiting for you.

“On my way.”

So this is the famous new employee.

No, wait, that’s not right. Daeva is a mid-level employee now! Congratulations on being promoted! Stellin’s upper management thinks very highly of Daeva’s abilities after taking care of the Regatus practically single-handedly.

Management has decided that Daeva has what it takes to take on heavier responsibilities. That means receiving more important missions from now on.

“More important?”

Heard of [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_G_All]? It’s an area that attracts incorrigible vagrants and heinous criminals... It’s, ah... it’s a mess of a place.

After [%dic:STR_DIC_M_LDF8_Mission_Drakan_Boss_03_Al] got away, the brute went to [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_G_All].

But don’t worry, the Lawless Wastes should be no problem for Daeva, right?

“What do you want me to do?”

Track down the whereabouts of the former Regatus leader, [%dic:STR_DIC_M_LDF8_Mission_Drakan_Boss_03_Al]. Find where Vishaka is hiding and defeat the monster once and for all.

Remember the object that Vishaka fled with? That thing is... it’s incredibly dangerous!

It’s an artifact called [%dic:STR_DIC_E_Tiamat_Crown]. It was left behind by a Balaur Lord, and it possesses a ridiculous amount of power. There’s no telling what Vishaka will do with it! We have to stop this, and fast!

“On my way!”

For the first time, I feel... free. This feels amazing.

A deserter? I have heard those rumors, but I haven’t paid much attention.

I just follow the flow, to search for something more meaningful—the happiness of now.

(It might be just your imagination, but Anuk seems to have a strange look in his eyes.)

“You seem... different.”

Yes. The rigid Anuk of the past is no more.

I am the new Anuk. The freed Anuk. The Anuk who has found meaning in [%dic:STR_DIC_E_Naki6_K].

ST-IX is like... nothing I’ve ever felt before. I have so much more energy now. I feel like I’ve shed a weight I didn’t know I was carrying.

You should try it, [%username]. I wish all the world could know the peace I know now!

“I’m... I’m good.”

Anyway, about what you’re looking for... I might’ve been seeing things... but I think I saw [%dic:STR_DIC_M_LDF8_Mission_Drakan_Boss_03_Al]. He was moving carefully, like he didn’t want to be seen.

It didn’t seem like [%dic:STR_DIC_M_LDF8_Mission_Drakan_Boss_03_Al]... but I’m sure it was Vishaka. Probably. But I could be wrong. But I’m sure it was.

“Ah... thanks....”

(It’s the door you discovered while tracking down Vishaka.)

(You notice a big, bloody Drakan handprint right in the middle of the door.)

(It seems you’ve found Vishaka’s hideout.)

“Here we go.”

...I remembered.

You’re... you’re that... that meddler.

Hmm... We meet again.

“My name is [%username].”

[%username]%... [%username]%?

I’ll remember that now. ...Whether I want to or not....

My name is... Inanna.

“Inanna. What brings you here?”

That Balaur that got away... I’m here for him.

My friend at Stellin... asked me to. These Balaur... the ones who were loyal to their Lords...

...These soldiers... you can’t trust them. Can’t....

“So Inanna, you’re here to catch Vishaka?”

Yes. You too, [%username]?

Oh? Are we... after the same target?

...What an amazing coincidence.

“Would you like to join forces?”

(Her body is convulsing painfully.)

(It seems like Inanna’s mind and body were separated by the impact she suffered a moment ago.)

(Being hit directly by the explosive power of [%dic:STR_DIC_E_Tiamat_Crown] caused this.)

(She will be in peril if you leave her here.)

“Here we go....”

Good work, Daeva. You exceeded expectations. We’ll take it from here.

The kid is one of ours. Don’t worry, we’ll take care of her.

...Are you hearing me, Daeva? She’s in Stellin’s care now. Your mission here is done. You’re dismissed.

I can help you get to [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_OP1].

Go to Stellusia.

Ah, Daeva! Well done! Since you succeeded in killing Vishaka, I can finally start getting some credit around here.

Sorry, what? Stellin employees showed up and took over? Well, that’s because it was an important mission. They probably had some things there they needed to check.

I wouldn’t worry about it. You completed your mission successfully, and that’s what matters. Report!

“Okay.... But you’re not going to like it.”

... It sounds like you’re tired from your trip to [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_G_All], Daeva.

I understand what you think you saw, but [%dic:STR_DIC_E_Naki6_K] is the premier product of [%dic:STR_DIC_E_Stella_Industry]. Everyone knows about it, everyone’s been using it. If there was something off about it--even a little bit--someone would have said something, and Stellin Industries would have looked into it.

[%dic:STR_DIC_E_Naki6_K] is a wonderful invention, and Stellin Industries is a wonderful company. And you’ve just done some wonderful work! Why don’t you take some time off?

Report to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_LDF8_Monan_E] of [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_OP1]

Track down Vishaka to complete the mission entrusted to you by Stellin.

Stellin Industries entrusted you with the mission to find and eliminate Vishaka, who fled to the Lawless Wastes. You were told to make sure the Regatus will pose no more problems in the future, and that the item Vishaka took with him is Tiamat’s Crown, a dangerous artifact of the Balaur Lord.

While tracking Vishaka in the Lawless Wastes, you encountered Captain Anuk. He was not his usual self, and seemed a bit euphoric as he talked on and on about ST-IX. With his help, you tracked Vishaka to his hiding place, and once again ran into the mysterious girl you encountered at the Regatus headquarters.

The girl, Inanna, said she was also tracking Vishaka as a favor for a friend at Stellin. You offered to join forces, and discovered that while she considers them her enemies, Inanna herself is Balaur-blooded.

In a desperate final attack, Vishaka set off the explosive power held by Tiamat’s Crown, and Inanna’s mind and body were separated as a result of the impact. Unsure of what to do, you wound up entering Inanna’s mind to try to help her. Inside, you discovered Inanna’s true form--that of a half-Balaur, and witnessed her traumatic upbringing among the full-blooded Balaur.

When you saved Inanna from her painful past, her separated mind must’ve returned to normal as you were able to make it out safely. You tried to look after her, but Stellin employees showed up and collected Tiamat’s Crown, saying that they would handle the situation themselves.
