Kylria: Looks like you're
ok. The enemy ran off in a hurry.

Kranz: Phew, that was
close. Thanks for the help!

Kylria: You're welcome.
I'm glad I could help.
I've seen you around
before... In the Morgue.

Kranz: Well, I'm quite lucky
to have a pretty woman
like you take notice of me.

Kylria: Heh. Actually, I
received the mission from
our commander.
I was protecting the
Central Dome Monument.
And then I found you in
a bit of a pinch.

Kranz: Gahahahaha!
I see!
I'm Kranz.
And you?

Kylria: It's Kylria. I just
recently joined the Hunters.
Pleased to meet you.

Kranz: Ah, yes, I'd heard
we were recruiting more
members.
You're pretty tough!
Glad to have you around.

Kylria: By the way, when
you were attacked, were
you just on patrol?

Kranz: Ah... well, I was
searching for something.
My... my old man's trail.

Kylria: Your father?

Kranz: It seems he was investigating something
in this area.

Kylria: This area... you
mean the Central Dome area?
Was he investigating the
Pioneer 1 explosion, then?
Is your father from
Pioneer 2? Or...

Kranz: Yeah, Pops came
over on Pioneer 2. He used
to be a Hunter.
After he resigned, it
seems he spent most
of his time
playing as some sort of
detective...
Starting about four years
ago, he began going away
for long periods of time.
And then two years ago,
he suddenly disappeared.
I figured he'd be back
soon, so I didn't really
worry about it, but...
Two years is a bit long,
even for him.
So, looking through the
materials he left behind,
I found that he'd been
searching the ruins of the
Central Dome explosion.
When this assignment to
protect the Monument from
vandals came up,
I figured it'd be a good
opportunity. But when I
started searching,
I came across those guys.
I watched them from the
shadows, but I accidentally
made some noise.
That's when they
found me.

Kylria: I see. And then I
came in...

Kranz: Yep.
I want to find out what
Pops was looking for
out here,
and why he suddenly
disappeared like that...

Kylria: ...

Kranz: Pops came over on
Pioneer 2 with Mother.
About two or three years
after they reached orbit,
I was born.
After that, he spent all his
time adventuring... I'm sure
you can guess the rest.
He always left Mother on
her own and eventually,
they divorced...
I only remember one thing
about him, his backside,
turned away from us.
It seems I've got an older
sister as well. She's also
a ship child.
My sister went with my
Mom, so I never knew her.
I can't recall anything.

Kylria: I see...

Kranz: So, that's Pops...
Never thinking about the
family at all.
Can't say all that much
good about him...
But, still, I'm the only
family he has... I have to
go look for him, you know?
I may not look it, but
I've got a strong sense
of responsibility.

Kylria: ...I see.
That's good. You should
be proud of yourself.

Kylria: Alright then. I'm
heading back. Take care.

Kranz: Ok. Thanks for your
help today. I owe you one.
I'll search around a bit
longer before I head back.
