Invisible Glyphs: Discovery

Endmin? Oh, I'm totally alright! Just checking out this rock...

Haven't figured anything out yet, though...

Of course it's different! Just two days ago, I saw, with my very own eyes, a bunch of sneaky breakers gathered around the rock. They also drew stuff on it!

This rock is really close to our Hub Base... Those breakers must be planning another raid!

Come on, Endmin! Don't be deceived by its looks!

This isn't your ordinary rock! The breakers drew stuff all over it! Saw it with my own eyes two days ago! They're definitely using the rock to spread their secret messages!

Uhm... That's what I'm ... trying to find out...

But I, Jouster the Meticulous, believe that my persistence and investigative spirit — will figure it out! When that happens, I shall reveal what they drew on this rock!

Yeah, if only some knowledgeable scholar would show up ... and give me some guidance...

Endmin, from what you said ... can those drawings be Bonekrusher "glyphs"?

We have received relevant intel — These glyphs are drawn using a special type of paint. You'll need a secret Bonekrusher way to see these glyphs.

Don't give up yet, Endmin! Try scanning it!

Our scanners are designed to reveal secrets like this.

Sounds like a real solution! I guess all we need ... is a proper scan to reveal the secrets behind these dastardly glyphs! Do us the honors, Endministrator!

Ah! Look, they have been revealed!

So this is what "Bonekrusher glyphs" really look like...

It seems rather incomplete. I think we're missing something...

Something doesn't look right...

Ah! I just remembered something! We'll definitely find some clues at that place!

The Originium Byproduct Processing Center! It's just over there!

The breakers whacked the BPPC recently. The place is a total mess now, but the raiders probably left some graffiti behind...

Come on, Endmin, you know what I'm trying to say! The graffiti is the clue. We can use the glyphs' positions to predict the LB's plans, and with that, we'll figure out what their glyphs actually mean! That's what detective novels always say, right?!

Endmin, since we don't have any other leads, we might as well head to the Originium BPPC to investigate.

I'm counting on you, Endmin! I'll be waiting here for your good news! Your help will surely get us to the bottom of the Landbreakers' mega scheme!

Five days' worth of hard work! GONE! Damn those LB scum...

Don't ask me. Got no time for this sort of nonsense!

If you want an interview, go talk to the crew lead. He's got a ton of fury to share.

Can't afford to slow down the crew of other production lines... I gotta finish the quota for today!

Sorry, but I'm really busy right now. It's best if you ask someone else.

You can try talking to our crew lead over there. He's like a volcano ready to blow. A good chat might help him vent off some steam...

Now these LBs have done it! If I ever get my hands on them, there'll be no mercy!

It's the Landbreakers... They stole loads of our stuff, even our Smart Performance Booster! My entire crew is stretched thin, and without the booster ... our schedule is totally messed up!

You're ... Endfielders, right? Ugh. It's those Landbreaker lunatics again! They grabbed our stockpile and even stole our Smart Performance Booster!! I can't stand this anymore!

You heard about it, eh? Yeah. Friggin' breakers nabbed more than half of our stockpile, including our Smart Performance Booster! Do these breakers treat the United Workers as a bunch of softies?!

Yeah. It's a general-purpose broadcaster developed by the UWST. It automatically plays pre-recorded messages based on the weather, environment, and work schedule! Everyone found it annoying at first, but we got used to its "company"... In fact, it was boosting the work performance of many of our crew mates...

So we decided to give it a new name — Smart Performance Booster. Those Landbreakers ... they better not take it apart like they do with the other machines — or I, Satyr Yatzi, will unleash hell on these scav rippers!

Let me think... Do those parts count?

The breakers smashed our machines and looted the parts. They must have dropped them along the way.

Hmm... I don't really know. I just came back from lunch break and the looters were already gone... But I'm sure they went that way!

Look at the ground along that direction! Parts, nuts, and bolts — these must've been dropped from the machines looted by the breakers.

Wait... Don't tell me you're going to find those breaker scum?

Well, if that's the case, maybe you can help us retrieve our Smart Performance Booster?

Just retrieve whatever you can find and bring along with you! At least it'd address our materials shortage. Really appreciate this!

Smart Performance Booster... Working without it feels really weird.

I CAN'T FINISH MY JOB! We would be getting some music if the booster was around... But now it's gone, we don't even have a decent BGM no more! Blight those breaker scum!

Lines I want on my headstone... "ZERO OT" is definitely the first line. "EAT MY SHORTS, LB SCUM!" will be right below.

Welcome. You are now using an Echoes General-Purpose Broadcaster developed by the United Workers' Syndicates of Talos II. Enter your input to get started with —

Playing the latest recording—

*Mumbles* It's all ours! ALL THIS BELONGS TO US!

Grab the stuff! *Mumbles* Just the grub and tools! BREAK AND KRRRUUSH THE REST!! ALL OF 'EM!

Playing a fitting public broadcast—

Sort it, label it, love it. Handle all warehouse goods with tender care. No rolling, tossing, dropping, smashing, juggling...

Battery low. Switching to Sleep Mode.

Phew. It's finally turned off.

Great job, Endmin. Now, let's head back to the Originium Byproduct Processing Center.

Isn't this our ... Smart Performance Booster?! Oh, we can finally listen to its all-too-familiar broadcasting once more!

Let me see... Those scabby breakers better not have done anything to it...

Ah! Yes! Sheesh, I guess I got too excited I forgot about it! I'll check them right now—

Yeah, this is it! Our supplies! But a portion seems to be missing...

Gel-cotton. We can use this material to make small demolition charges for construction sites... Our stash doesn't have a lot of them, but they're still pretty dangerous!

Apologies, Endmin. This is an oversight on my part. I thought the Landbreakers knew nothing about gel-cotton, but it seems likely they have hidden it away...

This probably isn't over... I'll also notify the security officer about the missing explosives.

Seems like this incident may have something to do with the "glyphs".

What do you think, Endmin?

Are these LBs ... "worshiping" a denstack? It looks like some kind of a bizarre ritual.

And they're doing this while the UWST safety reminders are playing... It's ... kinda funny...

In any case, I'm afraid you might have to take down these breakers first.

Endmin, these must be the supplies stolen by the Landbreakers! Let's take them back!

One more thing, Endmin. Can you switch off that general-purpose broadcaster? The endless noise is making my head hurt...
