Story

Florine:	...Did Gretel do that?
Siobhan:	Yes, I believe she was too emotional and her Lumina exploded.
Navigator:	Didn't expect such power from that little girl.
Erica:	President, I have a bad feeling...
Florine:	I understand you must feel very uneasy.
Florine:	Things have gone beyond our expectations. Actually, things are no longer under our control.
Florine:	We must find the exit and contact Elder Hedy.
Siobhan:	I hope your report won't bring any dangers to the two sisters...
Florine:	It won't. After all, they are offspring of Lumopolis.
Vice:	What shall we do now? Valencia ordered us to stay.
Siobhan:	We are going to find Seamus' room.
Siobhan:	After the short conversation with the Butler, I think we need to find Seamus' research data as soon as possible.
Florine:	I remember the coordinates. Follow me.

Beep... Beep...

Navigator:	What's that sound?
Siobhan:	A message from Ruby...
Ruby:	Hey! Can you hear us?
Ruby:	We need help!
Ruby:	Otherwise Rouge will die of anger soon!
Navigator:	Ouch... That hurt my ears!
Florine:	They are in danger... Shall we help them?
Siobhan:	They are members of the Rediesel Wrench, but you don't have to be so cold towards them.
Florine:	Hurry up then. Don't waste time.
Siobhan:	They are not far from where we are going.
Siobhan:	There might be droids or Eclipsites.
Florine:	For the documents Seamus has left?
Siobhan:	Yes. The Butler might have realized we are after those documents. We must hurry.
Florine:	Okay. We'll take the lead.
Florine:	Erica, increase speed and strength. We need to get there quickly and clear the way!
Erica:	Yes, president.

Bang! Clap!

Rouge:	Ruby, they're coming!
Navigator:	Ruby and Rouge! Are you alright?
Ruby:	Thank god! I thought you were not coming.
Siobhan:	What happened? Were you attacked by droids? Did they say anything?
Ruby:	Who knows? We didn't do anything.
Robot:	Warning! Return properties! Warning! Return properties!
Rouge:	Ruby... I told you we couldn't take anything in front of them!
Navigator:	...What did you take?
Ruby:	Shut up! These are relics! No one owns relics!
Ruby:	These metal pieces have nothing to do with it. What's the problem?
Robot:	Arrest program. Enabled!
Eclipsites:	Graagh!
Navigator:	More Eclipsites are closing in on us!
Siobhan:	We got enemies on both sides. Be very careful...

Ruby:	One, and two!
Robot:	Chirp... Gah...
Ruby:	Three, and four...
Siobhan:	Ruby, it's not time to enjoy fighting. More enemies are coming.
Siobhan:	We need to get the documents Seamus has left.
Ruby:	The same guy you talked about earlier? Where are the documents?
Siobhan:	Inside the residential area... Come with me. Florine and her party have left to clear the way.
Ruby:	Oh? So we are bringing up the rear for them.
Florine:	Siobhan, the room is inside the building up ahead. We found it!
Rouge:	Phew... Finally... Made it.
Ruby:	Is this building solid?
Ruby:	Would it collapse if we had to fight against the enemies?
Siobhan:	It might. These residential buildings are quite old already.
Siobhan:	Hold back a little if we must fight.
Siobhan:	Your combat style is quite wild.
Ruby:	Got it. From now on, we are an adventure squad.

The group enters a new building.

Siobhan:	We made it... This is Seamus' room.
Carleen:	This room...
Carleen:	It hasn't been occupied for quite some time.
Ruby:	What's the big deal? All rooms here are empty.
Siobhan:	Look... All these clothes and books are free from dust.
Siobhan:	They... Have kept it clean.
Ruby:	Wow... Here are some women‘s dresses. I wonder if these are easy to sell.
Rouge:	Ruby, don't. The two sisters will murder us!
Ruby:	Just kidding... These must be Mr. and Mrs. Seamus' relics?
Ruby:	I won't take anything in front of you.
Navigator:	You...
Ruby:	That was a joke. Don't be so serious all the time.
Ruby:	We are professional adventurers. We follow our professional ethics strictly.
Vice:	But we must take Seamus' research data.
Siobhan:	There's too much to carry... Vice, come and help us filter out important documents.
Vice:	Coming!
Vice:	Miss Siobhan, so senior Seamus left all these records?
Siobhan:	Yes, it's Seamus' handwriting.
Siobhan:	I'd recognize it anywhere.
Vice:	Miss Siobhan, are your hands shaking?
Siobhan:	Hmm... I didn't expect to see these precious research papers ever again...
Siobhan:	I'm just excited... Don't worry. Focus on the documents.
Vice:	There are too many secret codes... I can't decipher them all.
Siobhan:	Don't worry. Decode whatever you can using the general key. I can deal with any extra layers of encryption.
Vice:	Yes!
Navigator:	Carleen, it will take quite some time for them to retrieve data.
Navigator:	If those Eclipsites and droids came here...
Carleen:	I understand. We'll be at the door. No one can enter.
Erica:	President, look.
Florine:	What's the matter, Erica?
Erica:	There are more diaries.
Erica:	And gold stamps...
Erica:	There are traces of the God of Light on this dark, heretical land?
Florine:	This mark is of Lumopolis's style... I guess it belonged to Nimbus.
Erica:	Shall we open it, president?
Florine:	Yes... I want to know how a Lumopolis noble ended up here.
Navigator:	Are you reading Nimbus' diary?
Florine:	Hey! Please don't suddenly get so close...
Navigator:	Sorry. I'm just curious.
Erica:	Don't worry about it. I don't think president understands much.
Navigator:	Uhh? What's this wild scribble all about?
Florine:	It's a secret font used by the noble class. I only understand a little steganography.
Navigator:	What's "steganography"?
Rouge:	Words are written in a special way to achieve encryption. Only their own people can understand.
Rouge:	This couple just loves encryption.
Florine:	There might be something Nimbus wanted to send back to Lumopolis...
Navigator:	And Seamus had some stuff he wanted to share with Illumina?
Rouge:	It's just like the relationship between Lumopolis and Illumina. Secrets are kept from each other.
Ruby:	Weren't they a couple?
Ruby:	How awkward was this marriage?
Siobhan:	Quiet, the Rediesel pair... Seamus conveyed his love for his wife in his records.
Siobhan:	They respected each other very much and allowed each other freedom.
Florine:	They knew about these encrypted files... Nimbus also mentioned this in her diary.
Guardian Angel No. 3:	Creak... Gah.
Navigator:	Something is coming in?
Siobhan:	Androids or Eclipsites?
Navigator:	An android... But...
Navigator:	It's not aggressive?
Guardian Angel No. 3:	Beeboo.
Vice:	A robotic dog... It must be senior Seamus' pet?
Vice:	It doesn't seem particularly aggressive.
Florine:	If there's no threat, just leave it be... Let's focus on gathering info.
Vice:	Alright, agreed.
Vice:	Miss Siobhan, please take a look at my log...
Guardian Angel No. 3:	Beep, beep, beep, beep...
Ruby:	Looks like this little guy wants to leave.
Ruby:	Rouge, since we don't have much to do right now... Can I play with it?
Rouge:	Sigh... Alright, but stay close.
Ruby:	Not a problem!

The view changes. Valencia and Gretel are watching the feed through Guardian Angel No. 3, and see Ruby talking to it.

Ruby:	This puppy's hilarious...
Butler:	Aurorians... Invaded... Seamus' room...
Valencia:	I see them... Darn it.
Butler:	Please... Instruct...
Valencia:	Send all available droids, now!
Butler:	Gathering... Dispatching to... Residential area.
Gretel:	...Are you going?
Valencia:	I have to stop them... from destroying mom and dad's room.
Gretel:	Then I'll go too!
Valencia:	Better not... Why don't you stay here and get rested, alright?
Valencia:	I'll deal with them and be back in no time.
Gretel:	But you won't be able to defeat them alone.
Gretel:	I just got this power. I can definitely...
Valencia:	Don't act rashly. Take care of yourself first.
Valencia:	I just didn't want to fight them.
Valencia:	Now... I know what I have to do.
Gretel:	Please let me go with you... I don't want to wait here alone.
Gretel:	Please, sister... It's scary to stay here alone.
Valencia:	Sigh... Well, promise you won't push yourself or get too worked up.
Gretel:	Promise!
