Mission: 9-1: Missing Reasearch
Client: Principal
Quest: We've lost contact with our reasearch team. Go search the area around the Crater.

=Pioneer 2=
--Principal's office--

(Irene)
We've been expecting you, [Class] [Name].
We've got an emergency situation, here. Thank you for coming.
Do you know about the Crater that was formed by a meteor strike?

[yes/no]
[no]
Allow me to fill you in, then.
Pioneer 2 had detected a meteor approaching the Planet Ragol.
The Lab had determined that it would miss both Pioneer 2 and the planet.
Because of that, an official announcement was never made. But...
Suddenly, a beam of light erupted from the surface and hit the meteor.
The path of the meteor changed, and it crashed into the surface.
Thankfully, Pioneer 2 and the Central Dome were both unaffected.
A huge crater was formed, and a strange light came forth from inside.
The principal ordered a research team to go and investigate the incident.
That research team never reported back in, though.
We want you to go look for that missing team, [Name].
The teleporter's been set with the same coordinates the team used.
I'm sure you understand the huge risk involved with this assignment.
That is all.
[yes]
That makes this simple, then.
This is directly pertinent to our request.
A research team that went to the Crater never reported back in.
We want you to go look for that missing team, [Name].
The coordinates that the team used has been set on the teleporter.
I'm sure you understand the huge risk invovled with this assignment.
That is all.

(Irene)
I've heard that both the Lab and the military have sent out search teams.
I understand why the military would send a team... but the Lab?

(Principal)
Did Irene explain the situation to you?
Ah, good.
Go to the Crater quickly and see if you can find the research team.

(Principal)
It's exactly like Irene told you.
Please, hurry to the Crater and see if you can find the team.

(Left scientist)
It's very strange...
Our calculations show that the meteor shouldn't have hit Ragol.

(Right scientist)
Ever since the meteor hit, everythings been chaotic.
We've got to get more information and help!

--Outside Principal's office--

(Lady in shops)
I wonder what I can afford today...
... ... ...
...hey, were you just listening in on me?

(Scientist by check room)
I saw it!
I'm telling you, I saw the whole thing!
I had the meteor's trajectory under surveillance.
That was part of my assignment. Then, as I was monitoring...
Something suddenly hit the meteor and threw it off course!
What could it have been?

(Man outside principal's office teleporter)
Those uniformed folks have been really busy lately.
It's been like this since the meteor hit.
...no, it was like this a bit before then, actually.

(Boy outside hunter's guild)
So, a meteor impacted the surface of Ragol?
I hear it came pretty close to hitting Pioneer 2!
You could even feel the shockwave onboard this ship!

(Lady oustide med center)
What's with all of these people trafficking about?
Can't everyone just slow down for a second?

(Nurse in med center)
If you're hurt head to the Medical Center for some aid!
Safety should always be your number one priority!

(FOnewearl in med center [Rupika])
Once more unto the breach...
This is all making my head hurt. Could you leave me alone?

(Left guard to surface teleporter)
This teleporter will take you down to Ragol.
There are apparently strange new creatures on the surface.
Be on your guard.

(Right guard to surface teleporter)
Things have just been extraordinarily busy for us in the military.
The Pioneer 2 army just doesn't have enough manpower.
We're not going to be able to survive in our current state.

=Crater (Eastern Route)=

Cutscene:
Sue appears after clearing enemies somewhere halfway through the quest.

(Sue)
Ah.
It's been a while.
Something told me you'd show up here.
Talk about luck, though. You sure are a strange one.
You're definitely not military, but you're up to something, I'm sure.
I wonder what you'll try to pull next.

(Sue)
You couldn't find the research team?
... ...
Do you have any... inclinations as to what you think happened?
The more you know, the worse things seem to get.

(Sue)
I'd advise you to not go any further.
You should call it quits before you get yourself into trouble.
Besides, there's nothing for you here, anyways.

Cutscene:
Kireek appears after clearing enemies in the next room.

(Kireek)
It's been a long time, [name].
Have you been improving yourself at all?
Your face shows that you've weathered some harsh experiences.
Well, in any case, you should be aware of something.
[blue]WORKS[/blue] is apparently up to something.
It's just as the girl said.

(Kireek)
And here's another battle tip from me.
The creatures in the area tend to attack en masse.
Watch the radar, and try not to get surrounded.
In groups, these creatures are not to be trifled with.

Cutscene:
Various NPC's appear (2 soldiers, Gilliam and Karen)

(Left Soldier)
... ...

(Left Soldier)
Leave this instant, hunter.
You have no business here. Go away.

(Right Soldier)
You want to know why military personnel are here?
There's no reason to tell you!
Now back off!

(Right Soldier)
I've warned you not to come any closer.
Don't make me say it again.

(Gilliam [RAcast])
This is a military-controlled zone.
You are hereby ordered to leave this area at once.

(Gilliam [RAcast])
You are hereby ordered to leave this area at once.

(Karen [RAmarl])
Huh? Is someone there?
You! Stop at once.
This area is under military jurisdiction!
Unless you have business here, you must vacate the area.
Now, go back the way you came!

Cutscene - Telepipe appears

(Karen [RAmarl])
Back again, huh?
I've told you, you are not permitted to enter the area ahead.
Don't make me repeat myself.
Withdraw immediately!

(Take pipe)

Cutscene:
Kireek and Sue seen behind the fence.

Sue: It's just like that girl said...
Kireek: Yeah. You're right.
Sue: What's wrong?
Kireek: ... ...
Sue: Are you worried about the child?
(pause)
The wind's picking up...
You shouldn't go down there.
I've just got a bad feeling about it.
I can't just let it go.

=Pioneer 2=

(Principal)
I see.
So, you couldn't find the research team...
That's very unfortunate.
Still, I hadn't been informed of prior military activity there!
Could they have something to do with these new enemies near the Crater?
We'll need to keep a closer eye on them.
Thank you.
You've done some good work, here.

(Principal)
Thank you.
You've done some good work, here.

(Irene)
There's no sign of the research team anywhere?
And new hostile creatures have been found in the area around the Crater?
I'll send your report along to the Lab.
Thank you for your assistance.
You should go and rest, for now.

(quest complete jingle)

(Irene)
Thank you for your assistance.
You should go and rest, for now.
