Hey, there. Yes, you. With the face. What do you say[ST:n ]to the idea of a specialized combat field, mmm?[ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
qev018101_MSG0002 |
Say...an atmospheric charge that hastens Skell fuel[ST:n ]recovery, for example. Does that sound convenient?[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
qev018101_JNK0010 |
Agree |
| 4 |
|
qev018101_SEL0011 |
Say that it sounds very convenient. |

qev018101_JNK0020 |
Scoff |

|
qev018101_SEL0021 |
Snicker. Then snicker again, only louder. |
| 7 |
|
qev018101_MSG0003 |
Ah, yes. It sounds like a BLADE's dream come true,[ST:n ]doesn't it? And yet, it's REAL![ST:wait ] |
| 8 |
|
qev018101_MSG0004 |
Ha! You think I'm a dreamer, don't you?[ST:n ]Well, I'm the man who made that dream come TRUE![ST:wait ] |

qev018101_MSG0005 |
I call it the battle probe! Invented it while I was aboard[ST:n ]the White Whale, you see, so I don't actually have any[ST:n ]completed units on me. But I can explain the premise.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
qev018101_MSG0006 |
Essentially, this new type of data probe takes the[ST:n ]electromagnetic field generated by FrontierNav and[ST:n ]induces a dynamic conversion.[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev018101_MSG0007 |
The resulting charge infuses the area around the probe,[ST:n ]producing one of many potential types of specialized[ST:n ]combat fields.[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev018101_MSG0008 |
I'm sure you want to see it in action, right?[ST:n ]Probably can't wait to get your little BLADE hands on it.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
qev018101_MSG0009 |
I tell you, once this thing takes off with the BLADEs,[ST:n ]it will revolutionize frontline combat![ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev018101_JNK0030 |
Admire |
| 15 |
|
qev018101_SEL0031 |
Tell Hugo that you're impressed.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev018101_JNK0040 |
Scoff |
| 17 |
|
qev018101_SEL0041 |
Say you don't need fancy toys to kick ass. |
| 18 |
|
qev018101_MSG0010 |
No doubt you are! And in that case, I'd like to ask you[ST:n ]for a favor.[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev018101_MSG0011 |
Spoken like a [ST:Gender p1=man p2=woman ]who hasn't seen a battle probe[ST:n ]in action yet.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
qev018101_MSG0012 |
Try it once and you'll never want to fight without one![ST:n ]So do yourself a favor and hear me out.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev018101_MSG0013 |
My design calls for a large quantity of miranium.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev018101_MSG0014 |
I've been running around the city begging, but every[ST:n ]factory and lab is scrambling for the stuff, and no one[ST:n ]can see past their greed to the genius of my idea.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev018101_MSG0015 |
So myopic! How can you overlook a game changer like[ST:n ]this just to produce more of the same boring dreck?[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev018101_MSG0016 |
Anyway, this is where you come in.[ST:n ]I need you to secure me 10,000 units of miranium.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
qev018101_MSG0017 |
Your reward will be a shiny new battle probe![ST:n ]A bargain and a half, if I do say so myself.[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
qev018101_MSG0018 |
Perfect. Good. Excellent.[ST:n ]Now get me that miranium.[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
qev018101_MSG0019 |
It's time to give form to this stroke of genius that struck[ST:n ]me as we were striking Mira![ST:wait ] |
| 28 |
|
qev018101_MSG0020 |
The idiots running New LA's industries were too[ST:n ]wrapped up in their own tired products to see the[ST:n ]genius in my designs, but I'll show them![ST:wait ] |
| 29 |
|
qev018101_MSG0021 |
They'll be kicking themselves when they see every BLADE[ST:n ]in the city beating down my front door![ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
qev018101_MSG0022 |
All I need is that miranium to put it together,[ST:n ]and I'll have a battle probe in your hands.[ST:n ]So don't keep me waiting![ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
qev018101_MSG0023 |
Well? Got that miranium yet?[ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
qev018101_MSG0024 |
Come on, then! The battle probe is aching to be born![ST:n ]Straining! It's pushing forth and...[ST:n ]Yes, well. End of metaphor.[ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
qev018101_JNK0050 |
Deliver |
| 34 |
|
qev018101_SEL0051 |
Hand over 10,000 units of miranium.[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
qev018101_JNK0060 |
Keep |
| 36 |
|
qev018101_SEL0061 |
Hold on to your miranium for now. |
| 37 |
|
qev018101_MSG0025 |
Yes... Yeeeeeeees![ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
qev018101_MSG0026 |
Wait right there. I'll have it ready momentarily.[ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
qev018101_MSG0027 |
...It's done! It's finally done![ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
qev018101_MSG0028 |
Presenting the first of hopefully many different kinds of[ST:n ]battle probes—the fuel recovery probe![ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
qev018101_MSG0029 |
Set this baby at a FrontierNav data probe site and any[ST:n ]Skells parked in that whole region will recover fuel at[ST:n ]an accelerated rate.[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev018101_MSG0030 |
Go on, take it. It's yours. Just promise to get out there[ST:n ]and show the world that my inventions are more useful[ST:n ]than any weapon those arms manufacturers crank out![ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev018101_MSG0031 |
Oh, and uh, protect the welfare of all New LA's citizens[ST:n ]as well. I guess that's important.[ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
qev018101_MSG0032 |
Meanwhile, I have more kinds of battle probes to[ST:n ]prototype. In fact, I've got a whole STACK of designs[ST:n ]just waiting for my eureka touch![ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev018101_MSG0033 |
Come back and see me again, all right?[ST:n ]I can't see my designs implemented without help[ST:n ]from BLADEs like you.[ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
qev018101_MSG0034 |
...Huh? And what exactly are you waiting for?[ST:n ]A fanfare of trumpets? A gilded invitation?[ST:wait ] |
| 47 |
|
qev018101_MSG0035 |
Give me the stuff and let me get to work already![ST:wait ] |
