Fissure Filling and Land Grouting

Endministrator? I was about to go and find you... The HAS Headquarters assigned me to give this to you.

Yes. The very latest version after they compiled the new datasets from this operation. You should find it useful.

It's part of my assignment. You are always busy with something. This actually gave me a chance to speak with you again.

Yes. Most problems that required immediate attention have been taken care of. As for the rest...

We try to wrap it up, but there seems to be no end to problems. New ones keep popping up.

Yes. I wanted to handle this issue on my own ... but the others stopped me.

Summit and Phrase refused to let me near the rift or its fissures. I felt relieved after knowing that you will handle it... You can definitely do a better job than me.

And talk to Tianshi He if you have questions on filling up the fissures. Her research focus is the Very Large Rift itself and she is very knowledgeable about all sorts of rifts.

Well met, Endministrator. They placed me in charge of filling up the rift fissures. I'm also a Tianshi specializing in rift data analysis.

Yes. They're trying to rush me... I shouldn't dally. The time has come for me to head back.

I leave this site in your hands, Endministrator and Tianshi He. I'll be back ASAP.

Apologies, I need to reply to a message.

I'll keep this short, Endmin. According to what we know. Now that we have sealed the VLR, a total of three rift fissures remain in the North Wuling EZ.

These fissures are not that big, but filling it up will consume vast amounts of resources... Our best approach is to prepare the materials using the AIC Factory.

From what I know, we'll probably use a technology listed in the Anthology of Research on the Very Large Rift... Go ahead and study it for a bit, Endmin. Once you do that, we'll see what to do next.

Have you researched the tech already, Endmin? Great.

I'll be sending you the three sets of coordinates, one at a time! Oh yeah, I heard about this Endfield technology called conduits.

To make the neutralization easier, we can set up a conduit connection near the Designated Urban Area rift fissure.

Oh yeah, the road leading to that place won't be easy, Endmin. I can give you a few detailed tips if you want.

I hope this can successfully fill up the fissures... I'm planning to head out for a field survey to collect fissure-related data.

We meet again, Endmin. Hah. Well, I was carrying supplies with the team... And somehow I ended up here.

No worries. Just do your thing. I'm taking a short break before I head back and help out.

We're finally back... Endmin, you have my thanks. I finally got a chance to realize my dream.

Oh, yes. I used to be a scientist back then. My lab is nearby. Tianshi Zhuang, Tianshi Lin, and I used to debate many things.

Then I had a career change and became a chef... Still, I was hoping that a day would come when I could see my old friends again...

Hey! This name ... looks familiar...

PAN ... YUAN? Wait! Isn't this Master Da Pan's name?

Oh, yeah! Master Da Pan the super chef! Hold on... This is a list of awardees for the Vanguard Scientist title...

I knew it! Master Da Pan is a secret super scientist! A true Vanguard Scientist from the last generation... And since I have problems with my paper...

Hah. Stop your fantasies, kids! Stick to proper science and stop trying to cheat. Hard work will get your name on this stone, okay?

Heheh... Got it, Uncle Pan. I'll definitely work harder on my project!

I think I just fulfilled part of my dreams... Time to pass on the vanguard spirit to the next generation.

Hey you! Wanna see where Uncle Pan used to work?

Really?! Of course I do!

Then stay close, and follow me —

Heading to the other side? The place is very dangerous and totally filled with Miasma. Boss told me to keep my eyes on it. Be careful out there.

No wonder... I actually wanted to bring something over. Maybe I should focus on clearing up the local trouble.

Miasma? The new fissure must be releasing it...

We need a way to handle the Miasma. How about let's try using the Gas Dispersing Unit?

There are plenty of Xiragen reservoirs nearby. Extract some Xiragen to supply the Gas Dispersing Units. They will create a Xiranite-rich environment to beat the Miasma.

Is that how you fill a fissure? Tsk. I guess reading theories all day won't teach you anything...

I guess only you and the boss can come up with a trick like this... If they gave me this job, I would probably start by punching the fissure.

Thanks, Endmin. The place is finally back to what it should be...

I can finally make the delivery...

Yeah. My fellow watchguards asked me to bring them here... A few came from the Qingbo Stockaders.

Just tokens of their good intent ... those who can't let go of memories about their loved ones and friends.

Look at this pair of earrings. It's from Old Han... Big clumsy dolt and a huge mess. But he spent months choosing them...

His wife passed away here. He wants to give her a proper present.

A Stockader girl gave me this peace talisman... She got it from a diviner for her older brother who failed to escape with her parents...

She wanted him to have something so he wouldn't feel too lonely...

Okay. I think this is it. Fifty-three. Not one less. This is where they should be.

What I think about this? I can't really tell you much.

Many people lost many things and loved ones in that disaster, Endmin. I'm the exception... The place holds no memories of mine. I don't feel hate.

I got used to being alone ever since my three masters left Wuling. And then I met the boss...

The way I look at this, instead of dwelling on the past, I prefer to use the boss's way. Take a huge stride and get somewhere out there.

But there are always people who are nostalgic and wanted to stay... So I should just fulfill their wish and find a way for them, right?

Remediation progress is looking good here... If it weren't for you, Endmin, it'd take us ages to fill up all these fissures...

Speaking of which, the data I want to give you is about the two fissures that just showed up —

Sure thing, Endmin! Let's give this a try!

Endmin, the results of preliminary analysis are out. The two fissures appeared at almost the same time.

We compared this against all past data nodes. The closest match seems to be the moment right after your battle against Alleikhreos, the enemy within the VLR.

I'm afraid there are no obvious conclusions right now, Endmin... We'll keep collecting data and running comparative analysis. You'll be the first to know if we made any progress.

You're here, Endministrator.

I can see a few familiar sights from this vantage... Look there. It's the dam that every child wanted to climb...

I thought I'd never see it again for the rest of my life. Until you came.

For the first time in my life, I felt so close to fulfilling my wish... And that was how things turned out. I let go of hatred, started looking back at my life, and learned that I carried so much memories with me.

Uncle Pan? Is he...

Mi Fu? Is she...

It's been years. The EZ was a dark cloud that loomed and weighed heavy on every Wulinger's heart.

We waited for ten years for this chance... A chance where everyone gets to fulfill their dreams...

That being said, I haven't formally given you my gratitude.

Thank you.

Wishes...? Well, when I arrived I heard Tianshi He Zhiqi wishing to get this fissure-filling job over with so she could get back to her research.

Seems to me the Tianshi aren't required to give a debriefing. They don't have my problems...

I've been formally relieved of my duties... They told me that I'm in no state to carry out any operations.

The HAS wants me to get some R&R at Endfield... All the paperwork have been done.

Well, you might have to suffer my presence for a while.

That wish of mine ... has been fulfilled.

Endmin, from what we're seeing, this new fissure is a little more complicated...

Let's be safe and set things up first. Deploy a conduit connection for transporting the liquid Xiranite.

We should take a look at the actual site... Right. I plotted an actual route this time, Endmin. Interested in the details?

No problem. We'll meet up at the Waterworks Hub.

The new fissure is similar to the last one we dealt with. We might need conduits... so let's just set up the conduit connection along the way.

I've also plotted the route, Endmin. Need me to go over the details for you?

Whats up, Endmin? Anything I can do to help?

Sure. No problem!

Sure. No problem!

Endmin, I received the latest ambient environment data readings after the first fissure got eliminated! Excellent job out there!

Now we can start neutralizing the second fissure. Again, to make things easier, we should set up a conduit connection nearby.

Oh yeah, the road leading to the rift fissure will be pretty rough, Endmin. I can give you a few detailed tips if you want.

Nice work, Endmin! Completing the Final Treatment means we can get started on the next rift fissure!

But reaching that place won't be easy. I got some really useful tips. Interested, Endmin?
