In Pursuit of the Lost Jewel

I see... You wish to find the Synth Human who possesses the quartz.

Yeah. It would take too long randomly searching this huge area so I thought maybe you could lend a hand.

To search for a specific individual I'll need that individual's data. If you had a part from the Synth Human, that would help.

Th-Th-That movement... I-I didn't know!

Hey, what's wrong?

What's wrong?! I heard there was a vicious Synth Human about so I came to eliminate it...

It was too strong! It didn't move like a Synth Human!

Isn't that what Jeeno said? A Synth Human even hunters can't handle. Was there quartz embedded in its chest?

Quartz? Actually, there was something shiny on there...

But I was putting my all into striking it, I wasn't really looking.

Striking it? Could you show us what you used?

The weapon I attacked it with? Sure. It was this knife.

Then I'll be taking this!

Commencing scan... Identifying attached substances...

Adult male sebum and sweat... And Synth Human oil detected! Now we can track the individual!

Really?!

I don't know what you're up to, but I'd love it if you got revenge.

It's not like normal Synth Humans. Be careful.

Understood. Now I'll return your knife.

Can you find the whereabouts of this Synth Human, then?

Scanning...

I have a hit! I have detected the same oil components! But the hit is quite far away. We'll need to get closer to make sure!

Okay. Let's go further in.

Here?! But there's nothing...

The oil is already old. The hit's getting weaker...

It appears we took too much time moving to this area.

I'll try to rescan!

Yeah, do!

Scanning...

I've detected a new hit! Stronger than here!

All right! Looks like we're slowly getting closer!

Okay, let's head to where the hit's showing!

The hit was around here somewhere...

Aaarrrgh! Don't!

Wh-What's wrong?!

Hu-Humans! I'm saved!

It looks as though she was being chased by something...

I was. By an unbelievably ferocious Synth Human...

A Synth Human?! Was there a piece of quartz embedded in its chest?

Yeah, there was! I came to get the quartz but it was just so strong... I can't do this anymore! I'm giving up! You shouldn't chase after it either! It's not worth risking your life for...

Sounds like a ferocious opponent. The quartz doesn't matter now. We've got to get rid of this Synth Human.

I completely agree. The target is a dangerous individual. It needs to be stopped.

Okay! Then let's keep moving.

Stupid. Every one of 'em...

There, on its chest... Could it be...?

Hm? I thought I was done with you lot. There's more of you?

Hmph... You're looking pretty shabby.

Shabby?!

I guess you're here for my quartz, too?

It's far too radiant for the likes of measly humans such as yourselves!

That's a bit much! I don't care about the jewel. I'm here for you!

Let's do this!

Argh! So much energy! How on earth...

I believe the quartz is wired into its circuit, enabling it to work at a higher output than ordinary individuals!

The quartz is a part of it?!

We understand to the core of our beings the value of this radiance more than you humans ever will.

Did we do it...?

Grah... Aaargh...

Huh?! It's still going?!

Aldo!

Argh!

You're...

Here's the quartz...

Oh... thanks. I couldn't have done this without you.

I just gave the finishing blow. It was you who defeated it. So, take it.

Are you sure? You wanted the quartz, too...

I've no interest in stealing your spoils.

Was that girl a Seeker, too?

We've obtained the quartz. Let's show it to Jeeno at the auction house!
