Development 2, A Brief Rest

Guard near entrance
Welcome home, [NAME]. You must have fought a pretty intense battle. We're all glad to see you're still safe. The Chief called for you, so please give him your full report.
Pentaglass
Thanks for taking care of that, [NAME]. I got another job from my friend in the Development Division. He's raving on about some landing site in view of the Tower of Caelum. I swear, just because the Principal runs them, they think they're kings. Ah, well. Take care of this one for me, okay? You can get the details from Karen, okay? ...... Pioneer 2 would just go to pieces if I wasn't around. Don't you think?

Good afternoon, [NAME]. I'll brief you on your misison. Gunther of the Development Division wants us to help them out with their investigation of the area around the Tower of Caelum. They must have been very happy with the results of our last mission. There are lots of other Hunter's Guilds out there, but they insisted on hiring the C.A.R.D. Lab for this mission. Do your best, okay? By the way, how are your cardds working out for you? We can't make cards without using something called the "Germ" This "Germ" is the thing we're looking for that I discussed earlier. As we carry out missions to test the effectiveness of our technology, we're also looking for the "Germ" on the surface of Ragol. If we can get this Germ, we can greatly enhance our C.A.R.D. Technology and make it easier for everybody to use. We have no idea where it is yet, but we're trying hard to find it.

Yo, how was it? How was the previous battle? I'm pretty hot stuff out there, aren't I? I may not look it, but people tell me that I'm pretty hot stuff. Haha! Leave the fighting to me next time.
Sil'fer... She feelin' better yet? Oh, uh, I guess I could just ask her... ...but, I mean, we're both looking for family, and it's kind of a hard thing to talk about anything else... Anyway, Sil'fer really learned a lot from her sister, who was like a mom to her. I feel kind of sorry for her, to be honest. It'd be nice if she found her sister soon.
When we finish a mission, who receives the Meseta reward? Does that go to the C.A.R.D. Lab, or what? Oh... really? I was just discussing that with some of our researchers, but they were under the impression that you were getting more Meseta than any of us. Hmm... So you're working for the Hunter's Guild, more or less, but you're officially assigned to the government, yeah? It must be nice not having to work on commission. Gahahahahah!
Sil'fer
Why are the Arkz trying to block our land development research? I mean, I think even a child would understand that our research is necessary to make sure Ragol is safe for everybody to live on. I heard we have another investigation job coming down the pipeline... Do you think the Arkz will try interfering with us again?
Our team's expanded a lot, but we're all friendly with each other. Have you talked with everybody, [NAME]? Teeheeheh. We've got a lot of characters here... We all move together as one unit in battle, though, and I think that's really incredible. I guess we should be thanking you for that, huh, [NAME]? Teeheeheh. Keep it up!
Kylria feels a lot like a big sister. She's got herself so together... Whenever I talk with Kranz these days, he's always going on and on about how incredible Kylria is. Teeheehee. My sister was a little more easygoing, I think, but seeing her fight was truly fascinating. She was really wonderful. I still remember how she looked in battle. I wonder where she is now...?
Ino'lis
Heeheehee. You got a moment? I was fighting some Arkz guys earlier, and you know what? They tried to recruit me to their side! It was just, like, "Would you like to join the Arkz?" I tried to act all interested and said "I'll think about it," but I'm not gonna go anywhere! But if I go, they said they'll give me all the hottest Coral fashions, and I'll have a lot of personal stuff, or something. "Personal," huh... That sounds kinda neat.
Oooooh! Kranz is so stupid, stupid, stupid! I changed my hairstyle and he didn't even notice! Isn't that terrible? It's terrible, right? It's like he stepped all over my heart! Ooooh, I'm so mad.
I've got a special ability, you know. Heeheehee. You wanna know what is it? Heeheehee. It's chatting. I loooove to chat. I ended up talking with Sil'fer all night a little while ago. That hurt my throat a bit, but it was fun! If you have anything you want to discuss, just let me know. That's what I'm good at, after all.

BEEP! I have no idea what Guykild did before he came here. It had to be something he can't talk about. I'm scared. BEEP!
BEEP! Our, our eyes met! BEEP! His eyes lit up! He stared at me! *shiver* I'm, I'm, I'm s-s-scared! BEEP!
Relmitos
I've been extremely tired lately. It seems a simple mission would be a good way to recuperate, so I asked Karen if there was anything, and she told me about an air purification research mission. Could you deploy me on that one? Thanks.

Relmitos
Why am I so worn out? Well, I've been fighting a lot. I've been doing that outside of your command. By the way, how do you like my fighting? I should be a fairly good fighter. I've been practicing the Miyama style all my life... You familiar with that? The Miyama style? It's a fighting style. You don't have to know about it. Anyway, I learned a thing or two about it, so when it comes to swordfighting, I know my way around.
Sil'fer asked me why should a kid like me be fighting... So I told her that everyone has their own issues and reasons. That seemed to answer her question. All of this is much harder on her than it is on me, anyway. I hope she finds her sister soon.

Oh, hey, [NAME]. You look like you got some free time. How about I give you a small lecture today? Let me tell you about card basics and attacking. Unlike the Arkz, we Hunters can equip items... ...weapons and armor, for example. However, even if you have the strongest items in the world, you can't just flail away blindly and expect to beat your opponent. You'll often find your opponent using creatures to surround you, so so if you let your guard down, you could wind up taking heavy damage. The most important thing you can do to prevent that and still attack... ...is to "Move." Being in the exact right spot can prevent damage and lead you to victory. Your equipment and attacks don't matter until you get that right.
The contents of your Deck are also important. Each weapon has a fixed cost applied to it. Your strategy will likely change based on that cost. It's a choice between quality and quantity, essentially. If you want to concentrate on high-cost weapons, choose a "main" card and surround it with support items. If you opt for a low-cost strategy, you'll want to combine them to unleash massive combo attacks. I guess that's about it. Did you follow me?
Ah, now that I think about it... Do you know someone named Viviana, [NAME]? She was a student of mine at the H.T.C. She's kind of stubborn, but she's a nice girl at heart. There's another girl, too. Memoru, of the Arkz. She was also one of my students... ...together with Viviana. Surprised? I imagine so... I sure was when I heard about her. They both went to the same training school, but somehow they wound up in different organizations...
Quest:
Development 2 From: Government
Mission:
Have you heard? The resumption of development on Ragol has been getting lots of attention lately. Lupus Silva was selected as a prospective development area. But as usual, we don't have enough staff for the job. We simply want you to investigate, just like last time.
Pre-battle line:
Break: We don't get your intentions, and you don't get ours!
Post-mission message:
Lupus Silva is a serene area that holds a great natural park, within which lies the Central Dome Monument. In addition, the area developed by Pioneer 1 has a good flow of photon, and preparation for resumption of development is proceeding smoothly. However, we've heard rumors of the Arkz snooping about in the area, so please be careful.
Quest:
A Brief Rest From: Government
Mission:
We'd like you to conduct some basic research at Lupus Silva. We are in need of air samples from the area in order to get a better idea of the role Ragol's forests play in atmospheric purification.
Pre-mission message:
I have been feeling rather worn out as of late, so a trip to Lupus Silva would be a good change of environment for me. The air there always sets me in a nostalgic mood. I see this mission is available; would you be willing to send me? Oh, Teifu wants to learn about "spirit," so maybe I'll teach him a bit. Relmitos
Pre-battle lines:
  1. Teifu: No Arkz here. It's a breeze, so far. What?!
  2. Memoru: Jinks...! You little kid!
Post-mission message:
Thank you. I was a bit startled when the two Arkz suddenly appeared, but Teifu was there to help, so it all worked out. After that, I was able to enjoy a most relaxing experience. Thank you. Relmitos P.S. - Trying to explain "spirit" to Teifu wasn't as easy as I'd hoped...
