Toward Truth 2

Guard
Welcome back. You've completed the first step of the operation! Chief Red is waiting, so please go to the Command Room.
Red
Good work, [NAME]. That should have reduced the "Great Shadow's" power a little bit. Now, attack the Rectification Station in Molae Venti. Destroy the windmills that supply the station with its power. If you succeed, then the path to the "Great Shadow" should open. We're counting on you.
Game
...... The quest Toward Truth 2 has been added.
Red
You know the Weapons Development that the government carried out with human test cases, right? It was in the data you brought back once. ...... ...I don't want to see any more tragedies like those again. Clone technology and C.A.R.D. Technology are one and the same... I want to destroy the "Great Shadow" before we see the same mistakes repeated again. If we don't, the Shadow will use this technology to its own ends. Please... I don't want to see anyone end up... like my two daughters... Again...
Vice Chief
Here are your mission details. Your target is the Rectification Station on Molae Venti. The government has beefed up security in the area, but you must break through and destroy the facility. Good luck.
Break
That "Germ" is too dangerous... We're fine for now. We're still far away from the source. But if the government gets its hands on the "Great Shadow," the source of the Germ itself... it could be bad. I'm sure they're thinking about making it into a weapon. They tried to make weapons out of clones, after all... If they do it, then the Germ will spread from person to person, and it could even make it to our home planet!
I don't want to see that happen. I'm sick of seeing people lose their lives and become sacrifices to that thing. Everyone has to die eventually. I know that. That's never going to change. But seeing people being sacrified to that Germ... I can't take it. No matter what anyone says, I've got to destroy it. ...... Besides... I made a promise with her.
And once it's done, I'll stay on Ragol, living peacefully and watching the calm ocean. And someday, I'll go to my rest... ...my heart filled with memories. And I'll say "Don't worry, Ragol is going to stay peaceful from now on."
Lura
Nobody wants to hang out with me anymore these days. I'm feeling kinda lonely. People are going on about some "Great Shadow" or whatever. A great shadow, huh... Maybe that thing has the heart unit I'm looking for! Maybe if I defeated it in battle, put it in my body, and Break just happened to be wandering by... Oooooh! I'm so embarrassed!
Actually, back when I was under maintenance, they found out that my Rudimentary Maiden's Heart System was broken. I wonder what it would be like if I could live with Break? My Rudimentary Maiden's Heart System made me automatically think that every now and then... or so I thought. Every time I thought it, I'd feel like, "Boing!" But the system was broken the whole time. So what part of me was really thinking that, anyway?
Hmmm... ...... !! No way! Really? Hmmm... I guess so. I think I kind of see what's going on. Huh? Oh, no, I'm not talking to myself. "She" just told me about everything. Why does Break always put his hand on my heart and think? Because that way, he can get her... ...to forgive him. ...Yeah. I think I kind of get it now! I even found out what a heart unit really is. She told me... Apparently it's not something that physically exists. Hmm...
Endu
Commander, suppose that you had the "Great Shadow's" power... What would you do with it? Would you use it for your own personal gain like the big shots? Would you use it to look for new technology, like those Pioneer 1 guys? Or would you sell it to the government for a little spending cash? Heh. 'Course, you're pretty serious about all this stuff we're doing... You probably wouldn't do any of that. I'm not that worried about you. Besides, if there really was someone like that in the Arkz, then I would've taken care of them long ago. ...... Heheheh. Kidding, kidding! Do you know what limitless power like that can do to you? It makes you greedier and greedier, Commander. Sometimes that brings progress, and sometimes that brings destruction. ...... That... is "its" will.
Do you know what power beyond imagination like that can do to you? It makes you greedier and greedier, Commander. Sometimes that brings progress, and sometimes that brings destruction. ...... That... is "its" will.
Rufina
Oh... Commander... Well... There was nothing there. It was empty. Hahaha. Oh well. It was still pretty refreshing. I'm me, after all. Even if I am a clone, I'm still myself. That's all there is to it. Ever since the day that I met Break, I've really felt like I'm walking down the path... To the rest of my life. My own real life. [press A] Thanks, Commander. I... I mean... You've... well... You really helped me. Here, take this. Oh! It's nothing big. Don't worry.
Game
...... Picked up Bonus Card "Punch"!
Rufina
...... Remember the research lab I told you about? The one I was in? It ended up falling apart a while after I escaped from it. All the materials and experiments and things were taken away, never to be seen again. And, well... There was this info... that the lab was near Molae Venti. There was a building there that looked like a laboratory, but it wasn't anything like the place that I remember.
All there was, was an old research lab and piles of crumpled paper. There wasn't a single clone in the whole place. Hahaha... It's enough to make me laugh.
K.C.
Rufina has grown much brighter in recent days. Happy, I am, to see her like so. ...... Frankly speaking, when Rufina left R-Base alone the other day, Worry weighted my heart greatly, so I followed her trail. I must have invaded her private space. Nnngh... My regret is deeper than the ocean itself.
Pardon? Well, yes, I did offer a helping hand to Rufina, but...? She doesn't remember me? Well, it makes sense. She was unconscious the entire time. I hid myself when she came to, so I doubt she ever noticed me. No, embarrassed I was not! Nothing like that! ...... No, no, it's all right. I watch from the shadows, protect from the shadows, live with the shadows. That is the path I chose in life.
The path of the warrior, and the path of the shadow master. They are both long, arduous paths.
Rio
The "Great Shadow" gave birth to C.A.R.D. Technology. If we can destroy it before the government can find it, then they'll never get to make the new weapon they have their eyes on. But... For me, the battle begins after that... ...AFTER the "Great Shadow" is defeated. My battle is to destroy the government with my own hands.
My lecturing is over. You've gotten this far... There's nothing left to teach you.
Hmph... You really have grown since I first met you. I'll grant you that much, my commander. Heh... Sorry, but that's what I'm calling you from now on. Well? Can you give me some commands already!?
