Q70603 ??? undefined

Ah, yes, I heard you were resting. Don’t worry, I’m not here to discuss work.

I’m just delivering this letter for you. It’s a personal letter, not work related. I admit to being rather curious.

“It’s from Inanna....”

[%username]...! I’m glad to see you. I... wanted to... Um... Th-thank you.

I’m... I don’t know what else to say. You’ve been inside my head--I’ve never been close to anyone, [%username], not really.

Just my friend here at Stellin, and now you. So... I just wanted to say that.

“You’re welcome. You... come here often?”

Oh, when I have time. It’s sort of... a place for the outcasts, you know?

I usually feel better after spending some time here.

Oh, uh... Hey, [%username]?

“Yes?"

Could you help me with something? A little while before we met, I saved a Myugle from some bullies. The poor thing was crying his eyes out, I couldn’t just do nothing.

But, even after I made the bullies leave, he couldn’t stop crying... He couldn’t even talk. I tried to calm him down, but I’m not... very good at that.

[%username], you have a calming presence to you, at least... to me. Maybe you can help?

“Uh, I can try?”

Myumyu, myumyu...

(The Myugle is crying mournfully.)

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

My... my heart, it... it hurts...!

My... my friend...! Muratan... M-my only friend...

Muratan wouldn’t have left... He wouldn’t have just left....!

(The Myugle bursts into tears again.)

End dialog.

His only friend?

That’s so sad... The poor thing. I’m so glad you were able to find out what’s wrong.

[%username], you’re amazing.

“What? Why?”

You don’t look down on people. You helped him just now, and you helped me, even though you didn’t know us.... and even though I... am what I am.

Thank you for not being judgmental.

...You really are amazing, [%username]. You remind me of a friend of mine.

“Friend?”

Yeah. I have a friend here at Stellin. My only friend, really. So... I understand how that poor Myugle feels.

I’m going to help him. If his friend moved to a different facility, there’s bound to be a record of it at the office here. [%username], want to help me look?

Check the [%dic:STR_DIC_N_LDF8_FOBJ_OfficerPaper_Q60603a] in the office of the Secretary General and bring the [%dic:STR_DIC_I_doc_quest_70603b] here. The document is kept under heavy surveillance, so be careful.

End dialog.

That was fast, [%username].

Did you find the entry records?

“Here.”

The friend’s name was Muratan, right?

Muratan, Muratan... Mura... Ah! Here it is.

Huh? [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_F]? ...That’s strange. I don’t know of any facilities like [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_OP1_Rest] existing in this region.

“Me, either.”

Well, we’re in this together right?

You can probably find the [%dic:STR_DIC_I_doc_quest_70603b], which contains all the entry and exit records for the [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_OP1_Rest], in the office of the Secretary General.

We need that document if we’re going to find his friend.

“I’m on it.”

Hmm, let’s start by searching for a place called [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_F_D_Mission] within [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_F].

[%username], let’s meet here.

I’ll go check whether what’s written in the document is correct.

“Got it.”

[%username], this... this is horrible. When it said Muratan was transferred to a lab, I assumed he’d gotten sick....

But this... What is this place?

I hate it. I feel like something horrendous happened here.

“I’m inclined to agree.”

I’m so scared. I don’t think Muratan is here. That poor little Myugle... he can’t have lost his only friend.

I don’t think he’s here. I don’t want to believe he’s here.

[%username], let’s... let’s go back.

“We’ve come this far, we have to make sure.”

“I think I found him.”

Ugh... It... Hurts. Ughhh... Is this... how I die...?

...Stellin... You... won't get away... with this!

BuBu Soon... Danger...!

(Muratan’s breathing seems to have stopped.)

“He’s... gone.”

This can't be real... I can't believe...!

That poor Myugle is going to be heartbroken... To think his friend was suffering all this time, that he died like this...!

This isn't right. This is unacceptable. This can't be happening!

“Come on. We have to get to the bottom of this.”

....

You’re... you’re right, [%username].

We can grieve later. We should find out what happened here.

“Right.”

[%username], I’m going to see my friend at Stellin.

I need to ask about [%dic:STR_DIC_E_Naki6_K] and this laboratory. If he doesn’t know about it already, he’ll want to.

[%username]... could you... help lay those poor souls to rest? We can’t just leave them here.

“I’ll do what I can.”

An Asmodian... That must mean that you saw what I saw, and suspect what I suspect. Right? My name is Lyle. I’ve been investigating [%dic:STR_DIC_E_Naki6] after one of my family disappeared.

I was digging into the shadier aspects of [%dic:STR_DIC_E_Stella_Industry], the producer and distributor of [%dic:STR_DIC_E_Naki6_K], and everything seemed to point to [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_F_D_Mission].

As you can see, [%dic:STR_DIC_E_Naki6_K] and Stellin are dangerous. They’re dangerous, and crafty....

“Seems so.”

These experiments were conducted to fix a side-effect of [%dic:STR_DIC_E_Naki6]. They were trying create another drug, [%dic:STR_DIC_E_Naki6_K], and that isn’t all. There’s another mysterious project....

Everything was carried out in secret and then covered up. I’m sure there’s more that Stellin is hiding. Secrets even more horrific.

The disappearance of my older brother Anuk also might have something to do with it... I have to get to the bottom of this. If you want to uncover the truth about Stella and NK-VI, come find me in [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_OP1].

Make contact with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_LDF8_F_Rhyle_E] in [%dic:STR_DIC_W_LDF8_SZ_F_D_Mission].

Go meet Inanna, who contacted you while you were resting.

You received a letter from Inanna saying that she is okay, and thanking you for saving her from danger before. The postscript of the letter read that she wanted to meet you nearby so she could thank you in person. You went to meet her in the Gates of Joy, a facility established by Stellin.

While spending time with Inanna, she told you about a Myugle, BuBu Soon, who was mourning the sudden disappearance of his friend, Muratan. Inanna asked you to help her find the Myugle’s friend.

You stole the entry records from the office, and found out that Muratan was moved to a place called the Temporary ST Testing Grounds. You went there and discovered that it was the scene of several clinical trials aiming to improve ST-IX and develop a follow-up product. Unfortunately, it was too late to save Muratan.

Inanna, shocked by what you both found, left to go ask her friend at Stellin about the situation. While investigating the laboratory on your own, you discovered the existence of a mysterious project and additional Balaur test subjects. You also met Anuk’s younger sister Lyle, who like you, was investigating Stellin and ST-IX based on suspicions about them.
