Rumors about Tech

Thank goodness! Saved at last!

When I last saw Cynthia, she was heading to the carpark. A bunch of Aggeloi then trapped us here, so I have no idea what happened to her afterwards.

We must hurry to the carpark! That area is too dangerous.

Did you find Cynthia? She went to the carpark and might be in danger.

There are just too many Aggeloi nearby...

Woah! You smashed those rock buggers! Thank goodness we got a master like you around! I thought we was all gonna die here!

No. We're making a living doing odd jobs for them woosters. Things were fine but a ton of buggerloids suddenly showed up from nowhere!

We thought we could just stay low and wait for the buggers to leave, but they stayed around. Hell, even more of the buggerloids started showing up...

That's right... Those buggerloids started gathering at this place. I heard some Endfield company was carrying out crazy tests here and... Well, those tests must have lured the buggerloids in.

Oh yeah! I heard about that one too! That's some wicked stuff!

Well... Rumors like this happen every now and then. Endmin, should we try to clear things up?

I totally agree! We'll be more convincing once we take care of the problems.

Where did all these buggerloids come from? Something's definitely wicked and evil in this place... Don't try to tell me otherwise.

Yeah! Those crazy Endfield tests are messing up this place.

Hoo... Safe at last. Thank you for the rescue. I'm the deputy manager of these parts... Name's Cynthia.

Ugh. When the Ankhor fell, I evacuated the team and came back here on my own to recover the material samples we just made. Unfortunately, I was too slow and got myself trapped here... I hope the rest of the base is alright?

We cleared out the nearby areas. This place should be safe for now.

Rumors?

That is just a baseless accusation. I've never heard about the Aggeloi being attracted to our facilities... But the numbers of Aggeloi in the vicinity are strange indeed.

How about making a list? You know, things you can only find here, not anywhere else on the base? Then we can go through the list one by one.

Well, we have plenty of things like that around here. But if they could attract the Aggeloi, it would have happened ages ago.

Oh. There's a new pulse generator that just arrived. It's probably still running. We just assembled the instrument but never had time to pay attention to it.

I just performed a scan. Aggeloid activity did not change... Okay, I guess that wasn't the cause.

Sounds like a great idea... Wait. You actually know Andre? I've never seen you in the Hub Base before.

Wait! Does that mean you're the ... Endministrator?! Oh by Talos! I should've recognized you! I was too preoccupied with our problems.

Director Qin?! What brings you here?

You didn't respond for a while. I was getting worried, so I thought I'd drop by to check.

But since our ... Endministrator is around, I believe the problem is now history.

The Aggeloi tend to focus on the activity of nearby organisms. Nevertheless, this particular Ankhorfall happened to be unusually destructive. It would be a stretch to claim there's nothing special about it.

No matter what the cause is, we have a spreading rumor. It claims that Endfield testing has led to the Aggeloid problem.

*Sigh*. We got hit by an unexpected disaster. People are bound to panic and get suspicious.

Endmin, I have a team shipping a batch of disaster relief supplies to this place. But I need someone to do the explaining and stop the rumors. It must be someone that the locals are willing to trust.

Thank you so much for helping, Endmin! So, I guess we'll meet you at the base.

You here for the supplies?

Yeah. I heard they got some food and stuff... But I'm a little worried about monsters nearby.

Me too. The rocky crawlers in the Endfield base gave me a heart attack! And now they are handing out this weird gadget. No idea what it does. Maybe it's dangerous...

Ugh... Endmin, we really need your help. I've explained it to them like six times, but these people always find a way to cook up new rumors.

It's you! The hero who saved us!

Not just us, bud. She saved a whole lot of woosters as well... / Not just us, bud. He saved a whole lot of woosters as well...

Hmm... Since you're the one who said it...

We could never figure out the wooster tech or the Endfield tech... But you know science and you can really fight! You definitely have our trust.

Action turns out to be the most convincing argument.

Good people, once you head home, tell your friends and family about this place. We'll be handing out disaster relief supplies here.

Thank you! We'll definitely spread the word.

Ugh... Yeah. You did me a huge favor there, Endmin.

We're lucky nothing else happened. I need to talk to Andre once I head back. Instead of spending time on his "personal hobbies", he should be investigating these anomalous Aggeloi...
