8 tev013901_MSG0001 Even merely maintaining our current front lines requires[ST:n ]ludicrous amounts of money and materials.[ST:wait ]
9 tev013901_MSG0002 It was difficult enough on Earth, but supporting a[ST:n ]military on a planet like this requires resources on[ST:n ]a whole other scale.[ST:wait ]
10 tev013901_MSG0003 Which means we Curators need to secure sufficient[ST:n ]resources here on Mira to fuel BLADE's military[ST:n ]activities.[ST:wait ]
11 tev013901_MSG0004 Otherwise, it will be impossible to sustain offensives[ST:n ]against our new enemies, search for the Lifehold,[ST:n ]or continue countless other BLADE projects.[ST:wait ]
12 tev013901_MSG0005 It's not the most glamorous line of work. But when I[ST:n ]came to understand how important it was to the[ST:n ]continuance of BLADE, I knew I had to join up.[ST:wait ]
13 tev013901_MSG0008 Our resource-transport helicopters are constantly being[ST:n ]attacked by indigens.[ST:wait ]
14 tev013901_MSG0009 So far, Howard and Ciska have managed to evade the[ST:n ]attacks with quick thinking and spry reflexes.[ST:wait ]
15 tev013901_MSG0010 But I know it's only a matter of time before our luck[ST:n ]runs out.[ST:wait ]
16 tev013901_MSG0011 We've asked the Interceptors to help clear our flight[ST:n ]paths of indigens.[ST:wait ]
17 tev013901_MSG0012 But they have a lot on their plates right now,[ST:n ]so it could be a bit. I hope they get to it soon.[ST:wait ]
18 tev013901_MSG0020 One of our duties as Curators is creating a database[ST:n ]of all the items that can be harvested from Mira.[ST:wait ]
19 tev013901_MSG0021 You should have access to the same database on your[ST:n ]own comm device. It's the one marked \"Collectopedia.\"[ST:wait ]
20 tev013901_MSG0022 If you register enough data about the flora and[ST:n ]fauna that you happen to gather, you'll receive[ST:n ]special rewards.[ST:wait ]
21 tev013901_MSG0023 You can also find missions to collect materials at[ST:n ]Mission Control.[ST:wait ]
22 tev013901_MSG0024 Sometimes you'll have to face tough choices between[ST:n ]handing materials over to clients for rewards, or else[ST:n ]keeping them for your Collectopedia. So, er, good luck![ST:wait ]
23 tev013901_MSG0030 We refer to the collectibles that we can't categorize[ST:n ]as \"curios.\"[ST:wait ]
24 tev013901_MSG0031 The first BLADE who discovers one of these items is[ST:n ]officially allowed to name it.[ST:wait ]
25 tev013901_MSG0032 It must feel like discovering a new star or something![ST:wait ]
26 tev013901_MSG1013 I reported to Commander Vandham about that accident[ST:n ]we had recently, but he already knew about your[ST:n ]involvement.[ST:wait ]
27 tev013901_MSG1014 When I told him that all of the personnel and cargo[ST:n ]were safe, he seemed happy about the outcome.[ST:n ]I guess I'm happy too, but...[ST:wait ]
28 tev013901_MSG1015 Well, at least this experience should lead Howard and[ST:n ]Ciska to grow up a little.[ST:wait ]
29 tev013901_MSG1016 It sure as hell better! They're still arguing about whose[ST:n ]fault the damn accident was.[ST:wait ]
30 tev013901_MSG2017 We lost a precious helicopter full of valuable cargo,[ST:n ]and then we lost Howard as well. What a tragedy.[ST:wait ]
31 tev013901_MSG2018 Oh, but don't feel that you're responsible.[ST:n ]After all, Ciska is still alive.[ST:wait ]
32 tev013901_MSG2019 I'm sure she feels terrible about how much she and[ST:n ]Howard used to fight.[ST:wait ]
33 tev013901_MSG2020 And I know she's training hard in new flight techniques[ST:n ]so she'll be able to evade more skillfully the next time[ST:n ]she encounters a flying indigen.[ST:wait ]
34 tev013901_MSG2021 I suppose we'll all have to grow strong and overcome[ST:n ]our grief if we hope to survive on Mira.[ST:wait ]
