Walk in the Park

These emotes look rather familiar. Don't they remind you of Tata?

*Homely emote*

Hmm... The creator does leave a rather obvious signature in these tiny details.

Intruders! Listen up! This is my turf! I've prepared some serious hell for all of you, furnished with my latest and most powerful defense system!

Generation 6 Order of Steel Oath REMAKE... So, for all you dumb-dumb crazies messing up my place! Incineration awaits!

What was that...?

Tata keeps showing excited emotes since we entered the Park! Maybe it knows it's going to meet Yvonne. After all...

*Excited emote*

What is it? Are you shy?

I can even feel it trembling slightly...

*Overjoyed emote*

Is the damage causing the vibrations...? Doesn't seem like it. But does this mean Tata actually has emotions?

*Relaxed emote*

The Blightflood clogged most of our paths.

Look. That's the building we're trying to reach, but there's no way of us getting through that door.

Looks like we'll need Tata to run a few more scans. I think it has cooled down enough...

*Rejection emote*

Huh...? Tata, are you alright?

It seems a little hesitant... The previous scan overheated Tata, and it might not hold up if we use it over and over again.

We need to improve our scanning efficiency to reduce the number of scans. Maybe we can ... find a better position and locate multiple Blight Cores at once?

The Blight is messing up the radio comms. We lost Andre again.

There's a Protocom Signal Tower in the Park. We can use it to amplify our signals.

What is it, Endministrator?

Hmm? So you're saying...

The Endmin has a far better understanding of Originium circuitry compared to anyone else. Let's have faith in the Endmin's judgment.

We can see the signal tower from here, but the surface roads are blocked. Let's try our luck going through the underground path.

Endmin, did you just remember something? Like you did when you were ... repairing stuff earlier?

These drones seem to be ignoring Tata completely.

Since they're designed by the same person, they should have their own friend or foe identification system.

*Relaxed emote*

But even if Tata is identified as a friendly, we should remain cautious and keep Tata away from the explosions.

WHOA!

You ... you're not Landbreakers, right?

None of us look like Landbreakers, okay?

We're the Endfield Crisis Team. Why are you hiding here?

And then ... we started hearing Yvonne's broadcasts, telling us to assemble here immediately.

Once everyone got here, those special mechanisms started firing lasers. I know they helped keep the Landbreakers out ... but they also kept us in this place.

Well, that does sound like Yvonne...

So how are things outside...? Is it safe?

There are still plenty of Landbreakers on the ground floor. There is the Blight as well.

I guess the underground is safer for now. Yvonne was right.

Fabian and Aleeza are also looking for you. They should be here soon enough.

They're here... The Security Bureau have never left us behind!

If they're around, the others are likely safe too, right? This is great news...

You seem to believe in them.

As crew mates of the UWST, we treat the Security Bureau as the provider of security itself. Things always get better once the bureau takes action.

That's great. You can relax a little — the Collinses will take you all to safety. We'll have to keep moving to carry out our mission.

It's those Landbreakers... We were still running our tests in the Park when the alarms sounded...

The Collinses have worked in the Valley for two generations. Old man Collins even took part in the construction of the Research Center. Everyone here has faith in the young Collins siblings.

The signal tower is undamaged. We can activate it straight away, but ... I don't know if Tata can pull it off in its current state...

*Reliable emote*

*Pained emote*

Incredible! You did it! You're the best!

*Painful emote*

This isn't good. This overheating will burn through the chassis. We should call Yvonne.

That's Yvonne for you.

What's this Mr. Yvonne like...? I'm so confused.

Okay, I'll fix this first and settle the scores later! That silly owl gotta write that maintenance manual now. He's got no more excuses!

Come find me at my lab! Quickly! And don't use that function again!

Got it. Is there anything we should look out for along the way?

Watch out for the Landbreakers along the way... Wait. Aren't you even worried about me?

I might be concerned if you were somewhere else. But I thought the Park is your territory.

Hmph, obviously. Don't be fooled by the breakers and their ridiculous posturing — they've walked right into my trap. My welcoming party is en route. Keep your eyes peeled for a spectacle.

You'll understand once you meet Yvonne face to face...

That's the Research Center. Yvonne should be inside.

I see graffiti everywhere. The place must be stuffed with Landbreakers. You gotta be super deluded to think you're safe with these blighted housemates.

Indeed... But we don't know how long Yvonne can hold out. Tata is in bad shape. We can't afford to delay its repairs.

*Painful emote*

Let's go. The Blight Core on the front side of the Research Center has been exposed. Remove the Blight and clear a way through the front doors!

Careful!

Yvonne, we're inside the Research Center.

There are a lot of extremely dangerous Landbreakers in this building. Is your lab safe?

Don't worry. Those Blighted fools can't reach my place because I got my gadgets. Fixing my Prototype is the top priority now!

You need to take it to the Power Plateau, yeah? Well, then. You better hurry!

We're making our way to the second floor. We should follow your guide drone, right?
