19 tev014801_MSG0001 The city's economy has finally sprung to life,[ST:n ]and customers are swarming to Armory Alley.[ST:wait ]
20 tev014801_MSG0002 I must admit, I worried about our future when we were[ST:n ]attacked by an unknown enemy and had to crash-land[ST:n ]on this dangerous world.[ST:wait ]
21 tev014801_MSG0003 But humans are tenacious creatures. It's hard not to[ST:n ]appreciate that when you see the level of energy on[ST:n ]display here.[ST:wait ]
22 tev014801_MSG0004 But I'd rather be a part of this than a mere observer,[ST:n ]so I'd better get to work.[ST:wait ]
23 tev014801_MSG0009 Did you see the director general's broadcast earlier?[ST:wait ]
24 tev014801_MSG0010 Apparently they've discovered 10 new crew members![ST:wait ]
25 tev014801_MSG0011 At this rate, the survey of Mira that's been stalled[ST:n ]for so long will probably be able to resume soon.[ST:n ]That sure was a relief to hear![ST:wait ]
26 tev014801_MSG0018 If you join BLADE, you'll be able to use the shop[ST:n ]terminal in Armory Alley to buy armaments from[ST:n ]the city's various arms manufacturers.[ST:wait ]
27 tev014801_MSG0019 And once you acquire a Skell license, you'll be able to[ST:n ]buy Skells from there as well.[ST:wait ]
28 tev014801_MSG0020 When that happy day comes, I hope you'll consider[ST:n ]buying one of the high-quality Skells from my company,[ST:n ]Sakuraba Industries.[ST:wait ]
29 tev014801_MSG0026 The arms manufacturers have been asked to prioritize[ST:n ]new weapons development, but that sort of work[ST:n ]requires resources and money.[ST:wait ]
30 tev014801_MSG0027 And there aren't any large investors in New LA,[ST:n ]so we have to seek capital and miranium from[ST:n ]individual BLADEs.[ST:wait ]
31 tev014801_MSG0028 The amounts of investment provided by each is small,[ST:n ]but merge enough small streams and you end up with[ST:n ]a mighty river! At least, that's what we're counting on.[ST:wait ]
32 tev014801_MSG0029 If you join BLADE, I hope you'll considering investing[ST:n ]in your preferred arms manufacturers.[ST:wait ]
33 tev014801_MSG1001 Each arms manufacturer has a corporation level.[ST:wait ]
34 tev014801_MSG1002 As that rises, they'll be able to develop and sell[ST:n ]progressively better equipment.[ST:wait ]
35 tev014801_MSG1003 ...Hmm? You want to know what makes a corporate[ST:n ]level rise?[ST:wait ]
36 tev014801_MSG1004 Well, it's based on the degree to which you BLADEs[ST:n ]use a company's equipment. Using them in combat[ST:n ]promotes the products to a wider audience.[ST:wait ]
37 tev014801_MSG1005 As a BLADE, you should battle using the equipment of[ST:n ]the manufacturers you wish to support. That will cause[ST:n ]their corporate level to gradually rise.[ST:wait ]
38 tev014801_MSG1006 You can increase it much more quickly by using the[ST:n ]AM terminal in Armory Alley to contribute miranium[ST:n ]to a favored arms manufacturer.[ST:wait ]
39 tev014801_MSG1007 Miranium is a valuable resource. With plenty on hand,[ST:n ]development can proceed at a significantly faster pace.[ST:wait ]
40 tev014801_MSG1012 Sometimes the weapons that emerge from a fallen[ST:n ]indigen's belly possess strange properties.[ST:wait ]
41 tev014801_MSG1013 I work in sales, not development, so I couldn't begin to[ST:n ]explain the how or why of it.[ST:wait ]
42 tev014801_MSG1014 But I think it has something to do with the strange[ST:n ]chemical reactions that go on inside their bodies that[ST:n ]allow indigens to shoot lasers and...things like that.[ST:wait ]
43 tev014801_MSG2001 At the moment, New LA hosts two arms manufacturers:[ST:n ]My company, Sakuraba Industries, and our rival,[ST:n ]the Grenada Galactic Group.[ST:wait ]
44 tev014801_MSG2002 We at Sakuraba Industries pride ourselves on making[ST:n ]high-quality, conventional armaments that excel at[ST:n ]physical damage and defense.[ST:wait ]
45 tev014801_MSG2003 On the other hand, GGG primarily focuses on creating[ST:n ]armaments that employ a special beam coating.[ST:wait ]
46 tev014801_MSG2004 Obviously, I would recommend that you mainly[ST:n ]purchase Sakuraba products! But your safety is,[ST:n ]of course, always the highest priority.[ST:wait ]
47 tev014801_MSG2005 Therefore, I suggest you compare the wares of both[ST:n ]companies, then purchase the ones that will be most[ST:n ]effective against the enemies you expect to face.[ST:wait ]
48 tev014801_MSG2010 They're a recently registered start-up arms manufacturer.[ST:wait ]
49 tev014801_MSG2011 They seem to be developing weaponry that employs[ST:n ]Ganglion technologies.[ST:wait ]
50 tev014801_MSG2012 In fact, they're even designed to look similar to the[ST:n ]equipment employed by enemy xenoforms.[ST:wait ]
51 tev014801_MSG2013 Their armor seems sturdy, and has unique attributes[ST:n ]that weren't available on conventional equipment.[ST:n ]It's really quite something.[ST:wait ]
52 tev014801_MSG2014 If you're interested, why not take a look at the[ST:n ]shop terminal in Armory Alley?[ST:wait ]
53 tev014801_MSG2020 Their weaponry uses highly advanced electric-[ST:n ]attribute technology.[ST:wait ]
54 tev014801_MSG2021 That makes them particularly effective against fish-like[ST:n ]piscinoid indigens who live near water, as well as the[ST:n ]Ganglion's automated weaponry.[ST:wait ]
55 tev014801_MSG2022 They may be a rival, but there's no denying their[ST:n ]technical prowess when it comes to harnessing and[ST:n ]controlling extreme amounts of electricity.[ST:wait ]
56 tev014801_MSG2023 I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. After all, this is a[ST:n ]race of xenoforms that was cruising the galaxy long[ST:n ]before we humans fired our first rocket into space.[ST:wait ]
57 tev014801_MSG2024 As a BLADE, you should give them a try.[ST:n ]I think you'll be impressed![ST:wait ]
58 tev014801_MSG2025 Do you know why destroying enemy appendages refills[ST:n ]your Skell's fuel supply?[ST:wait ]
59 tev014801_MSG2026 ...That look on your face tells me that you don't.[ST:n ]And to be honest, I don't either.[ST:wait ]
60 tev014801_MSG2027 I asked a mechanic about it so that I could speak more[ST:n ]knowledgeably about our products, but his answer was[ST:n ]so technical that I couldn't understand a word of it.[ST:wait ]
61 tev014801_MSG2028 Maybe it's enough to just remember that it's true:[ST:n ]Destroying appendages refills your fuel supply.[ST:wait ]
62 tev014801_MSG2030 The weapons that the Nopon Commerce Guild deals in[ST:n ]seem positively adorable, but make no mistake...[ST:wait ]
63 tev014801_MSG2031 They are deadly weapons that typically use extreme[ST:n ]heat to incinerate their targets into dust![ST:wait ]
64 tev014801_MSG2032 The Nopon are so tiny, they're often eaten by the Prone[ST:n ]as food.[ST:wait ]
65 tev014801_MSG2033 Yet if they were simply strong enough to wield their[ST:n ]own weapons, they could have turned the tables on[ST:n ]the Prone long ago.[ST:wait ]
66 tev014801_MSG2040 They develop high-tech weaponry that we aren't even[ST:n ]capable of comprehending with our current level of[ST:n ]technology.[ST:wait ]
67 tev014801_MSG2041 Their product line includes equipment developed with[ST:n ]advanced ether technology, as well as close-combat[ST:n ]weapons that deal damage with gravitational waves.[ST:wait ]
68 tev014801_MSG2042 When the Orphe were imprisoned by the Ganglion,[ST:n ]they were apparently forced to make weapons for them.[ST:wait ]
69 tev014801_MSG2043 And if you wield an Orphean Technologies weapon,[ST:n ]you'll understand why the Ganglion sought them out.[ST:wait ]
70 tev014801_MSG2049 Six Stars employs many skilled Wrothian artisans to[ST:n ]make a variety of unique arms that only they know[ST:n ]how to craft.[ST:wait ]
71 tev014801_MSG2050 They are designed by Wrothians and for Wrothians,[ST:n ]and I'm told that they can be somewhat challenging[ST:n ]for mere humans to wield.[ST:wait ]
72 tev014801_MSG2051 Nevertheless, the destructive power that they unleash[ST:n ]upon a successful strike is truly eye-opening.[ST:wait ]
73 tev014801_MSG2052 If you supplement your accuracy with skills and battle[ST:n ]traits, a Six Star weapon can be a potent companion.[ST:wait ]
74 tev014801_MSG2053 Incidentally, \"Six Stars\" is some Wrothian cultural[ST:n ]allusion, and is not intended to imply that their[ST:n ]weapons are superior to Sakuraba's five-star offerings![ST:wait ]
75 tev014801_MSG3001 You know, I haven't seen Avi around lately.[ST:n ]She used to be one of my most regular customers.[ST:wait ]
76 tev014801_MSG3002 It sounded like she was having a hard time at work.[ST:n ]Maybe she ended up quitting her job?[ST:wait ]
77 tev014801_MSG3003 Well, whether she's started at some new job or is just[ST:n ]working hard hours at her old one, I hope she's found[ST:n ]some happiness in life.[ST:wait ]
78 tev014801_MSG3004 It would be a shame to see all of her hard work go[ST:n ]unrewarded.[ST:wait ]
