Everything is in good condition though. It looks like Nebu never found it.
Judging by the dust... no one has been here for at least a month.
If everything went to plan, our agent in Nebu has been exposed and captured.
Why didn't we know about this until now...
Rasparta have concealed their power for centuries. They are masters of concealment and espionage.
The main thing is our agent managed to get word to us.
Now we know for certain that the intel about the Relic Component was a trap.
It's okay. We didn't walk into it, yet.
No... Wait.
We have fallen into it!
The message mentioned this Relic Component Agent can be used for ''material decomposition'', which suggests...
Awakener is the target!

We've shopped for quite some time now but still can't find the right gift...
...Pocket watch.
You said your friend is a workaholic. If it is not a romantic attachment, a pocket watch could serve as a memorable and useful gift.
Not bad. Do you have any other ideas?
Well, is your friend female?
She is.
In that case you could get her a necklace or bracelet... unless those items have a special significance in your culture?
No. If they did, I could make it otherwise.
True. It's the thought that counts anyway. You could choose something you like, and give it to her.
And that's all I've got.
All you've got? What's all you've got?
Who's there?
Trouble.
What are you guys talking about? I wanna join in!
