Miranium, miranium, miranium![ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
qev018301_MSG0002 |
Sure, creating battle probes requires a special breed of[ST:n ]genius, but mostly it takes a ton of miranium.[ST:wait ] |
| 3 |
|
qev018301_MSG0003 |
So please supply me with the material I need to build[ST:n ]the first in a series of ranged attack probes![ST:wait ] |
| 4 |
|
qev018301_MSG0004 |
Don't let this little wonder die on the page.[ST:wait ] |
| 5 |
|
qev018301_JNK0010 |
Accept |
| 6 |
|
qev018301_SEL0011 |
Tell Hugo that you'd be honored to help. |
| 7 |
|
qev018301_JNK0020 |
Query |
| 8 |
|
qev018301_SEL0021 |
Ask Hugo what, exactly, he needs all this miranium for. |
| 9 |
|
qev018301_MSG0005 |
Oh, thank you. It's a blessing to have found such a[ST:n ]cooperative and understanding patron such as yourself.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
qev018301_MSG0006 |
Unfortunately, my design requires...er...20,000 units.[ST:n ]Think you can swing it?[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev018301_MSG0007 |
Miranium is useful for damn near everything.[ST:n ]Depending on how you work it, it can be harder than[ST:n ]steel, or as supple as aluminum.[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev018301_MSG0008 |
It's the most universal design material we have.[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
qev018301_MSG0009 |
And I need a bunch. Say...20,000 units? Thanks![ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev018301_MSG0010 |
Let's make this new kind of battle probe happen, eh?[ST:n ]You and me![ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev018301_MSG0011 |
Sorry to demand so much. If it makes you feel better,[ST:n ]I at least realize that the quantities I'm asking for are[ST:n ]somewhat insane.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev018301_MSG0012 |
But I also promise to deliver a product worthy of the[ST:n ]materials and your efforts.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev018301_MSG0013 |
In a sane world, I'd have industry support for my work.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
qev018301_MSG0014 |
But the fools cutting grant checks still haven't wised up[ST:n ]as to how amazing my battle probes are![ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev018301_MSG0015 |
Without your support, I wouldn't have been able to[ST:n ]realize any of my designs.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
qev018301_MSG0016 |
It's crazy, I know, but sadly true.[ST:n ]Genius is so rarely appreciated in its own time.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev018301_MSG0017 |
Anyway, my point is that you've been a massive help.[ST:n ]Thank you.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev018301_MSG0018 |
These designs of mine hold new hope for BLADE,[ST:n ]as well as all of New LA.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev018301_MSG0019 |
And yet a meager thing like a lack of materials keeps[ST:n ]them from seeing the light of day.[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev018301_MSG0020 |
It's all so absurd. Don't even get me started.[ST:n ]So, um...do you have the miranium yet?[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
qev018301_JNK0030 |
Deliver |
| 26 |
|
qev018301_SEL0031 |
Hand over 20,000 units of miranium. |
| 27 |
|
qev018301_JNK0040 |
Keep |
| 28 |
|
qev018301_SEL0041 |
Hold on to your miranium for now. |
| 29 |
|
qev018301_MSG0021 |
Excellent! That should be enough to start production on[ST:n ]the first in my series of ranged attack probes.[ST:wait ] |
| 30 |
|
qev018301_MSG0022 |
Don't move an inch. I'll have it from blueprint to built[ST:n ]before you can blink.[ST:wait ] |
| 31 |
|
qev018301_MSG0023 |
...Boom! Done! Cue the pyrotechnics![ST:wait ] |
| 32 |
|
qev018301_MSG0024 |
Presenting the ranged attack probe![ST:wait ] |
| 33 |
|
qev018301_MSG0025 |
Pop this bad boy into a FrontierNav probe site,[ST:n ]and it'll amp your ranged attack power as long as[ST:n ]you're within the region the probe is placed in.[ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
qev018301_MSG0026 |
Even the fanciest Skell can't offer this sort of dramatic[ST:n ]change in battle conditions, am I right?[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
qev018301_MSG0027 |
Use it to turn anything that wants to harm New LA[ST:n ]and its people into Swiss cheese![ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
qev018301_MSG0029 |
Actually, hmm... You're acquainted with Kirsty, yes?[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
qev018301_MSG0030 |
Tell me...what is she like?[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
qev018301_JNK0050 |
Praise |
| 39 |
|
qev018301_SEL0051 |
Wax poetic about Kirsty's many admirable qualities. |
| 40 |
|
qev018301_JNK0060 |
Criticize |
| 41 |
|
qev018301_SEL0061 |
Bemoan how difficult Kirsty is to work with. |
| 42 |
|
qev018301_MSG0031 |
I see. Well, if she's as sharp as you say, she should be[ST:n ]able to grasp the genius of my battle probes.[ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev018301_MSG0032 |
Thank you. I'll be sure to pay her a visit sometime in[ST:n ]the near future.[ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
qev018301_MSG0033 |
That big a pain, is she? Hmm... But I'm afraid the[ST:n ]reality of the situation dictates that I deal with her.[ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev018301_MSG0034 |
It will be a challenge, but I shall do my best to impress[ST:n ]her when we next meet.[ST:wait ] |
| 46 |
|
qev018301_MSG0035 |
...Hmm? Why am I meeting with her?[ST:wait ] |
| 47 |
|
qev018301_MSG0036 |
Well, up till now, I've been able to continue my work[ST:n ]using the miranium you've brought me.[ST:wait ] |
| 48 |
|
qev018301_MSG0037 |
But if I hope to ramp up to large-scale development—[ST:n ]which I do—I'll need industry and BLADE support.[ST:n ]There's just no way around it.[ST:wait ] |
| 49 |
|
qev018301_MSG0038 |
She's a FrontierNav pro, and well-connected with all the[ST:n ]industry heads. Her backing would be huge.[ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
qev018301_MSG0039 |
I can't predict if she'll go for this, but...[ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
qev018301_MSG0040 |
I suppose I'll have to hope that she knows true potential[ST:n ]when she sees it. Anyway, we'll just have to see...[ST:wait ] |
| 52 |
|
qev018301_MSG0041 |
What, am I supposed to bow down first?[ST:n ]Build you a little shrine?[ST:wait ] |
| 53 |
|
qev018301_MSG0042 |
I'm dying to get started here. Have mercy![ST:wait ] |
