Dusty Old Files

What should I do... People really worked hard for this...

Well... I just found out that I left three key research data files behind...

Really? Thank you so much...! The three data files have been stored in handyterms. Just look for those!

Before I forget, my name's Kitt. I'll stay on the comms and try to tell you what I know about this area.

Thanks for agreeing to help, Endmin...

Those research data files are really important! Please help me retrieve them!

This machine is huge...

Are you talking about the unit at the corridor bend? That's our sample radiation intensity scanner.

I often see Yvonne working that machine on her own. Thought she was using it to run some scans. Turns out she was installing defensive lasers all over the place!

Well, Yvonne does act in mysterious ways...

They're growing so many Originium clusters here...

I adopted a new crystal cultivation approach and tweaked the environmental parameters. I even submitted a paper based on this special cultivation process ... but it's still being peer reviewed by the journal.

Hah! That's the fruit of our project! I actually cultivated the biggest cluster, you know.

Who ... who the hell are you...?

End... Endministrator...? Oh thank Talos! Someone actually came to this place. I'm Harper, a UWST scientist.

The abandoned data we found seems to be related to this research project.

My research... A lifetime of blood and sweat... They're all here. I can't leave them unattended.

I'm ready to die for them! If the LBs come here, they'll have to reckon with me!

Really? Does that mean that I can get ... started on my research again?

Ugh. Fine.

Retrieve a data file? Who asked you to do that?

Got it. But you can't retrieve the files from my place.

This research file is quite special. It cannot be removed from this place. It is furnished with special security and encryption measures.

The file will automatically destroy itself when removed from the terminal.

Well, thanks for swinging by. Try looking elsewhere. Maybe you'll come across the data file you need.

Endmin, why did you come back?

What do you mean? I don't understand.

Ah ... So you ... found out about it...

I'm so close... SO CLOSE! SO FRIGGIN' CLOSE to success!

I cannot give up! I've committed my entire career and reputation on this thing!

Please, Endmin... Will you ... keep it a secret for me?

Oh, thank you so much... I promise! I'm really *THAT* close!

I won't waste the second chance you gave me, Endmin! I swear!

Ugh. Fine. All the data files are here...

There it goes... Years of my blood, sweat, and tears...

I hope so. I hope they don't shelve this project.

Alright. Let me take a look...

This prototype... It's really different from what I have in mind! Wha ... Why didn't I think of this?

This prototype just gave me a jolt of inspiration! I can totally take another shot at this! Endmin! Can you ... give this to me? I really need it for reference!

Scrap data...? The project owners probably ended up like me. The bottleneck probably trapped them for too long...

I'll also give a copy of my research. Someone must bring a complete backup safely out of this place.

Endmin, why did you come back?

O ... kay...

Who ... who the hell are you...?

Ugh. Fine.

Got it. But you can't retrieve the files from my place.

This research is really important. I locked the files and even I can't make a copy of them.

The file will also destroy itself if someone attempts to remove it.

Ah... So... I guess you sort of ... found out.

I'm so close... SO CLOSE! SO FRIGGIN' CLOSE to success!

I cannot give up! I've committed my entire career and reputation on this thing!

Please, Endmin... Will you ... keep it a secret for me?

Oh, thank you so much... I promise! I'm really *THAT* close!
