Client: Principal
Quest:
Rupika and Leo Grahart are now both missing. Please follow their tracks and find them.
=Pioneer 2=
--Principals Office--
(Irene)
Thanks for coming, [Class] [Name].
Before I get into the details, I need to ask something.
Do you know Leo Grahart and Rupika, by any chance?
[Yes/No]
[Yes]
You do? Then, this will be simple.
The truth is, both of them have disappeared.
We would like you to try and track them down.
The reason for their disappearance remains a mystery.
Grahart was captain of the 32nd Infantry Division of WORKS.
We've heard that they've been up to something.
We have word that he's been residing inside that Crater.
In all likelihood, that is where they can both be found.
Use the northern route to get to the Crater with utmost haste.
Speed is of the essence for this mission.
Also, this mission is absolutely top secret in every regard.
[No]
Ok. Rupika is a Newman, and a fellow hunter like yourself.
She's been under observation by the Principal's Office.
A few days ago, though we lost track of her completely.
At the same time, members of WORKS went into action.
Their division leader is a government official named Leo Grahart.
He was last seen together with Rupika.
We would like you to try and track them down.
The reason for their disappearance remains a mystery.
Grahart was captain of the 32nd Infantry Division of WORKS.
We've heard that they've been up to something recently.
We have word that he has been residing inside that Crater.
So in all likelihood, that is where they can both be found.
Use the northern route to get to the Crater with utmost haste.
Speed is of the essence for this mission.
Also, this mission is absolutely top secret in every regard.
(Irene)
So it is critical that you maintain this secrecy.
Is this understood? ... Good.
WORKS has been sending its members into the Crater.
We've been and continue to be very uneasy about this.
Please use extreme caution.
(Irene)
The reason you're taking the northern route?
The western, eastern, and southern routes to the Crater area...
All three have been put under military blockade.
It looks like they're trying to prevent access to the Crater...
(Principal)
Did Leo Grahart give that order without proper approvals?
I'm not sure, but we need to find out what's going on!
(Principal)
The military seems to be hiding their activites from me, the Principal!
The government, likewise, is holding back crucial information.
And my private search teams are continually being thwarted.
Things are getting more grim by the day.
(Left Scientist)
The military has mobilized their WORKS division.
WORKS was a powerful special ops task force back on our homeworld.
To curb their power, Leo was given a different government position.
The elite members of this division were assigned to Pioneer 1, as well.
Still, even with WORKS weakened, it seems Leo Grahart hasn't given up.
If he's still in charge, then we're all in a lot of trouble.
(Right Scientist)
Evidently, WORKS and the Hunters Guild don't get along.
There's also rumors of a counter-force created to oppose WORKS.
They're obviously working behind the scenes.
We don't have much solid information on them.
--Outside Principals Office--
(Lady in shops)
Here I go again. Guess I'm just a shopaholic...
... ... ...
...hey, were you just listening in on me?
(Lady near check room)
They say the Crater is really really huge!
I mean, I've only heard stories, but still!
That can't have been just any old meteor!
(Scientist near check room)
The meteor impact, the military crisis... it's one thing after another!
What's going to happen to us?
(Man by Principal's teleporter)
A whole bunch of those guys in uniform all went down to Ragol.
What's going on? I'm worried.
(Boy outsider Hunter's Guild)
That guy with the cape has been the talk of the town, lately!
But who is he?
(Girl outside Med Center)
One of your fellow hunters was running about in a panic.
He had a pretty nice body, though. So I didn't really mind... Hee hee.
(Nurse in Med center)
If you're hurt, head to the Medical Center for aid!
...
You know, I never see that girl around here anymore.
I hope she's okay...
(Left Soldier to Ragol Teleporter)
Military personnel have been given very difficult assignments.
There has been a drastic internal restructuring as well.
(Right Soldier to Ragol Teleporter)
Rumor has it that Leo is back in full force.
You know the saying, "There's no smoke where there's no fire."
If it's true, we could have a major crisis on our hands.
=Crater (Northern Route)=
Cutscene:
After killing monsters in a few rooms, Kireek appears.
(Kireek)
Hmph!
These creatures are no challenge to either you or me, right?
Ask yourself, why has WORKS been sent here?
(Kireek)
WORKS is a very zealous organization.
I don't know your role in this, but I must continue to follow their trail.
Cutscene:
After killing monsters in a few rooms after, 2 guards appear.
(Left Guard)
What, now we've been called to convene?
Rrrgh...
(Left Guard)
They just told me to be on the lookout, here.
But they didn't say what I'm on the lookout for! Hmph...
(Right Guard)
What are you doing here?
...
What, did you want to get through here?
[Yes/No]
[No]
Well, then go away!
[Yes]
Well, I'm really hurting for Meseta...
Ahem... if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. understand?
I'll open this up if you give me 4000 meseta.
(Left Guard)
This guy's my 'Superior' officer?
Is he trying to get me in trouble? Arrgh...
(Right Guard)
Shut up! Don't say another word!
I'm sick of just being a good little soldier!
Command can go and find someone else who'll listen to them!
Ahem... So, what are you going to do, then?
[Give him some/Don't give him any]
[Don't give him any]
Well, then go away!
[Give him some] Not enough meseta version
What? XXXX Meseta? That's it?
Hey, come on! I'm desperate here!
[Give him some]
I knew you'd understand! 4000 Meseta, then?
Heres, in exchange, you can have this.
Gate behind the guard unlocks...
(Right Guard)
There, it's open.
Go on through.
(Left Guard)
I saw nothing.
Talk to my superior officer.
Cutscene:
If you proceed to a different room, and kill some enemies, Sue appears.
(Sue)
We meet again.
Are you still working for the Principal?
You know that entry beyond this point is forbidden!
(Sue)
Make sure you're prepared if you're going to go.
I'm not going to be responsible for what happens to you.
[Computer]
She's not moving.
=Crater Interior=
Cutscene:
Kill enemies and the screen goes black to place two guards that guard the bridge
(Left Guard)
Our duty is our duty!
The captain's orders are absolute!
(Left Guard)
It is an honor to serve.
And that's final.
(Right Guard)
We serve but one leader!
Hail Captain Leo!
(Right Guard)
Captain Leo's orders are followed without question!
Cutscene:
Kill more enemies, screen goes black to place two guards at the next bridge
(Left Guard)
They say that the captain has been abducted!
But... that's impossible! Nobody can defeat the captain!
(Left Guard)
Ridiculous rumors!
(Right Guard)
The military is also investigating the creatures in this area.
The captain has ordered us to set up a tactical perimeter.
(Right Guard)
The captain has ordered us to set up a tactical perimeter.
You hunters had better not get in our way.
Cutscene:
Kill more enemies
Two guards appear guarding the next bridge and behind them is Leo and Rupika.
Camera slowly zooms to Rupika and Leo who have their backs to the camera.
(Left Guard)
You hunters are sticking your necks out a bit too far.
If you get too deep into this, you'll be sorry.
(Left Guard)
It's best if you just leave now.
(Right Guard)
Hey, you there.
Do you know anything about Photon Drops?
...
Doesn't look like it.
Sorry for asking!
Ha ha ha.
(Right Guard)
Ha ha ha.
Don't even worry about it.
Cutscene:
Kill more enemies, Bernie appears.
(Bernie)
I only took my eyes off Rupika for a second. Still... serves me right.
But why Leo? I have no ideas why he needs her, but she needs our help.
We've got to save the little lady!
(Bernie)
The Principal has given me orders, but I owe this to myself, too.
I hate to ask, but can you please lend me a hand?
(Left Guard)
What is it?
You want some info?
[Yes/No]
[No]
Then I have no need of you. Go away.
[Yes]
Fine. 10,000 Meseta.
[Okay/No Way]
[Okay] Not enough Meseta
No Meseta? No Info! Go way.
[Okay]
There was a certain... project.
It was begun before our division was formed.
That meteor crashing into Ragol was like an omen to reform this plan.
Data from the Control Tower, via WIS...
The weapon that took down the meteor... The impact site...
That girl's power...
And finally... The MOTHER Project.
The project has entered its final stage.
To discover the truth, go underground beneath the Crater.
But alas, there's nothing you can do.
[No Way]
Hunh! All right, then! 1,000 Meseta!
[That's better!/No deal!]
[That's better!] Not enough Meseta
No Meseta? No Info! Go way.
[That's better!]

(Right Guard)
Hey, I heard that a blue laser from Ragol knocked the meteor from its path.
I wonder if the laser was some kind of orbital space defense weapon.
(Right Guard)
But why bother? Couldn't Pioneer 2 just have handled it?
You don't think...? No it couldn't be! Leave me alone.
Cutscene:
Kill more enemies. Ash appears, watching Rupika and Leo at the end of the bridge.
(Ash)
You know...
I thought you'd already be ahead of me.
Guess my luck's changing.
(Ash)
W-What? Did I lose them again?
Damn!
I've got to focus!
I WILL save her!
Cutscene:
Gilliam and Karen are seen looking at Rupika and Leo. Rupika and Leo are behind a laser fence and standing in a red warp.
(Gilliam)
Karen, the captain must have a logical reason for what he's doing.
(Gilliam)
... ... ... You!
This area will soon be under military control.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
(Karen)
What is father thinking?
Why is he obsessed with that girl?
(Karen)
W-What?!
You again!
I don't know what you're trying to pull.
But don't interfere with the military! Now leave this vicinity at once!
Cutscene:
Step closer and the scene shifts to a closeup of Leo and Rupika.
(Leo)
Seems like we've got some pests buzzing around, hmm?
(Rupika)
Why...?
Why... am I...?
(Leo)
...
There is no need for questions, my dear.
But you shall soon see.
(Rupika)
... ...
(Leo)
I cannot let anyone interfere with my plans. Not even you, Karen!
Soon, now... Very soon...
Leo and Rupika warp. Shift back to main character and blue telepipe is there.
=Pioneer 2=
--Principals Office--
(Principal)
I see...
So, Leo Grahart took Rupika underground.
We need to act with utmost haste.
We've got to find out what's inside the Crater!
We'll set the teleporter coordinates for the underground stratum.
Please come back once we've completed our preparations.
Until then, please rest. You've done a good job.
(Principal)
Thank you again. You may go now.
(Irene)
They got away? I see...
I wonder why he took Rupika underground.
I'll inform the Principal and see what we need to do next.
...
Thank you for your work.
We'll let you know when we have work for you.
(Irene)
Please, go rest up.
