Maintenance Progress

Ah, Endmin, Supervisor Perlica. You came at the right time.

Endmin, we just ran another test. Results are quite stellar. We can now progress to the next step.

Kindly connect your Protocol Synchronizer with OMV Dijiang. We shall, upon your request, proceed to reference it and calibrate the tele-protocol site of the TP-Point accordingly.

Operator Xaihi? I'm glad to hear from you so quickly.

Greetings, Supervisor Perlica. I am pleased to re-establish conventional communication with the Hub Base. Had we been forced to rely on the exclusive channel any longer, Communication Officer Fiona might have been displeased.

Endministrator, you may reference the use of planetside TP-Points to tele-protocol to Dijiang. We have many work reports to present to you.

Work reports...? Are we making progress in the repairs of OMV Dijiang?

Yes, it is advancing more swiftly than anticipated, Supervisor. Now, please proceed with initiating the tele-protocols. I look forward to our meeting aboard Dijiang.

And thank you for helping us with the calibration work. Endmin, Operator Xaihi is the resident liaison from the Cabal of Tranquility. She is currently performing various tasks at our Engineering Division.

We firmly believe that information and technology will, in time, establish the vital connections that preserve human unity. Equally, we recognize that repair work is also a form of meditative training.

Supervisor Perlica, the Engineering Division has readied the empty cabins aboard Dijiang. They stand prepared for your occupancy.

We may commence activation of several cabins forthwith. In the meantime, access to the Dijiang Control Nexus will soon be restored. Kindly assume command upon its readiness, Endministrator.

For the present, we may begin our earnest work from the least compromised Manufacturing Cabin.

Welcome back, Endministrator, Supervisor Perlica. The surface-to-orbit tele-protocol seems to be operating smoothly. Truly, this calls for a celebration.

Yes. Many parts of Dijiang are in need of repairs. Cabal of Tranquility is a partner of Endfield. As a liaison from the Cabal, I am duty-bound to carry out the aforementioned repairs.

This control panel serves as the main controller of the Manufacturing Cabin. Kindly interact with it to designate personnel or to stipulate production plans.

It seems the software has undergone significant optimizations.

Ah, yes ... a few changes were enacted in compliance with the relic scripts of ancient knowledge... Um, if I have transgressed my authorized boundaries, may I submit my written confessions afterwards?

That ... that won't be necessary, Xaihi. What I meant was that the UI has been improved...

That is most reassuring to hear... I shall await the completion of your configuration setup. Please feel free to utilize it at your discretion.

Several cabins within the Kernel Sector of Dijiang have been cleaned up. The Reception Room is now available for Clue Exchange.

I have also carried out maintenance routines for facilities furnished with the Stasis Core. I pray this may be of help to your endeavor.

Just a simple reminder, Endministrator. Now, allow me to lead you to the Reception Room.

This is the Reception Room.

The Intel Section has synthesized clues gathered by the SOW from multiple channels. You may now choose how to manage them — either compile them, or extend them to partners who may benefit.

Clue Exchange will give us plenty of benefits. The SOW and Management Axis will quantify them into credits. You can then use this currency for resource management.

We have also repaired the Display Section. This is where you can showcase the various achievements of Endfield. The Sanctilamina Cathedralis Tranquillae has an embedded Aggelos and it has exerted rather impressive effects.

That might be a little ... too avant-garde for us. But you are right. A good Display Section will be effective. Visitors will get a better understanding of our work at Endfield.

The Reception Room is now prepared for use in full. You are welcome to explore its functions at your convenience.

The Control Nexus is just ahead.

——Hmm? Strange... It was reconfigured just a short while ago...

That's alright, Operator Xaihi. You are always free to work on your mission.

The Sarkaz from the General Technological Committee seeks my presence. Please allow my temporary absence.

You once shared numerous critical data with the Cabal of Tranquility. Their technological achievements are directly tied to your actions. This is why we could share a number of key technical projects with them.

Sow the seeds of trust and reap a harvest of friendship. This is how Endfield and the other factions of the Civilization Band have supported each other to this day.

The Control Nexus is before us. Let's go.

Only you can truly command Dijiang. The ship has waited ten years for this very moment.

Have faith in yourself, Endmin. You were the one who built this ship. There is no changing this fact.

Dijiang control authority level has been successfully activated.

You can now monitor the entire operations of Dijiang at this very place.

Endfielders, the next step of our expansion and growth shall be directed from the Bridge. All upgrades shall be carried out right here.

......

......!

Hearing those words from you is enough for us. They prove that we're no longer chasing after a shadow.

In recent years, the one in the Sarcophagus has gradually faded from people's memory, along with those legends. I was afraid of forgetting who you really are.

But now ... how fortunate we are ... to finally see you again and fight by your side.

Endmin, the SOW has gathered some clues.

I was hoping that before your memory recovers, you would learn about this world through experience rather than my faint words... But given the provisions of the Zeroth Directive, I must now simply share the essential information.

Please follow me.

You enjoyed looking at Talos-II from this place before your slumber.

Our long journey, what we found out, and the new threats we face.

Nefarith is a dangerous sign of what is to come. We must be alert or history may repeat itself.

...None appeared for many years, until she did.

If I had known about her, I would have never agreed to let you leave Dijiang. Your safety is our top priority. Maybe we could...

Understood. I will... Endfield Industries will always stand by you. We're all with you.

It's okay. This place has always been your home.

Let's take a break. Once everyone's fully rested, we will return to Valley IV.
